battles we've had since we became a team shouted SAS but this wasn't a SAS that was loved by the civilians of konohagakure or by nearly all of the girls of his age group no that SAS was long gone and was replaced by something that one would say only existed in nightmares Gan was the mysterious secluded boy that several of the young kunoichi fawned over in his place was a gray skinned monstrosity with ashc colored hair and wings shaped like giant hands with small fingers jutting out all over them the scur of his eyes were jet black with the Sharingan still visible as the cornea in the middle of his nose was a black shuriken shaped Mark and his lips looked as if here were wearing black lipstick with enlarged teeth that looked like fangs jutting out if the UA's appearance wasn't unsettling enough then his opponent was more capable of frightening any regular passer by standing several feet across from the winged Avenger was a boy wearing an orange jumpsuit that was torn and scratched in several places the most noticeable damaged area was the hole that was in front of and behind his right shoulder giving it the appearance that someone 's fist had punched through him the boy's face had a pair of three Jagged whisker-like marks that looked as if they were carved into each of his cheeks his eyes were dark red with thin slits for pupils giving them the appearance of a demon but the finishing piece to his terrifying look was the large mass of boiling red chakra in the shape of a fox that was surrounding his entire body their Battleground was at the rocky base of a large waterfall with two enormous statues of konah his founding fathers facing each other on opposite sides to the right of the waterfall was the Shem Hokage hashirama senju facing directly in front of the senju monument was the first original leader of the ucha clan MAA ucha this specific area was named the Valley of the end due to the notorious battle between the two founding fathers which forever altered the landscape in remembrance the people of konaha carved enormous statues of the combatants on the opposite sides of the large waterfall symbolizing the undying conflict that lasted between them but the most ironic part of of the current area was that another battle of similar Epic Proportions was taking place on madara's side stood sasak ucha the top Rookie of his graduating Ninja Academy class who was attempting to defect from konaha in order to train under Orochimaru the traitorous Snak sanin on hashirama's side was Naruto Uzumaki the genturi of the kiui no kitsun and the dead last amongst his peers his reason for being here he was part of the team charged with the task of subduing sake and bringing him back to konaha unfortunately the escort that was responsible for bringing SAS to odok gagor were orochimaru's personal guard five dangerous auton nin that were highly proficient at using the traitorous sanon's curse mark the retrieval team was forced to combat these ninja with each member fighting one oton nin by themselves this resulted in Naruto Ending up as the only one left to pursue the Rogue SAS Naruto had chased after the Renegade until he finally caught up to him at the monument hoping that he could try to reason with his Wayward teammate to the young blond's dismay however SAS was dead set UND defecting from konaha and was willing to kill anyone that stood in his way that part had really hurt Naruto as he somewhat saw SAS as an annoying prick of a friend after sasek had tried to kill him twice he was forced to use the cubis chakra and take action against the UA this gave the young Uzumaki a much needed Edge against sake who couldn't land a single strike against the KE powered jenin not one to be outdone by anyone sake activated the second state of his Heaven curse mark which even the playing field for the U now after a long and fierce battle both combatants were on their last legs and had enough strength for one final attack but the last attack meant something different to each combatant for narut it was his last chance to bring sake back and fulfill his promise to Sakura for sake it was his one chance to finally break free from the very Village that had been holding him him back and finally obtain Vengeance against Itachi this will end it thought the two Ninjas as they prepared their final attacks sake thrust his left palm towards the ground and began to channel lightning chakra producing condensed bluish white Sparks but then SAS began to channel the curse Mark's chakra into the attack causing the Sparks to change to a menacing black color and the chirping sound that usually accompanied the Jutsu was replaced with a sound similar to flapping wings meanwhile Naruto was trying his best to form a renon but was having some difficulty his left arm had become numb from the extended use of the cubis chakra and he needed two hands to perform the Jutsu correctly despite this Naruto concentrated on forming a renon in his right hand surprisingly he felt the chakra starting to condense not knowing that the demon Fox's influence was responsible for this as well as the chakra orbs size and color the chakra condemned even further into a spiraling purple sphere that was surrounded by a layer of red demonic chakra without wasting any more time the two combatants launched themselves towards one another determined to finish the fight in one final strike the distance was closed in seconds Chidori renon the two jutsus collided with a massive Clash both of them fighting to overcome the other the two different types of chakra caused a massive reaction which expanded until the two Shinobi were engulfed by it and made the downpouring water from the waterfall split not a second later the sphere emitted a blinding light unlike any that has been witnessed before one with Kakashi Kakashi was at loss with words at the sight that he saw afar he had hoped that he could get to his students in time before either of them killed one another but it was obvious that he was too late as he continued towards his students he thought back to when his Jen and team had just started out he thought about everything that they had went through trying to figure out where things went wrong sure he could have done a few things differently and he could have tried to spend equal amount of time with each of his students but things just got too complicated after everything that happened from the team's first high rank mission to the chunin exams sas's situation needed the most attention after all how else would he have been able to survive against gar I just hope that I can get there in time to at least keep the damage to a minimal thought Kakashi as he and pacun doubled their Pace one within the sphere both Naruto and SAS fought with all their might to come out top the two of them were reaching their limits the strength in their attacks being drastically reduced to their own natural chakra and they both knew that they needed to end the battle quickly at the same time the boys forced their attacks towards different directions Naruto's renon went upwards while sake's Chidori traveled downwards the lightning style Jutsu plunged through Naruto's chest stabbing through the center and out the other side narut felt the traitor Jutsu rip into his body body as well as the blood rushing towards his mouth but somehow managed to keep the renon albeit being drastically weakened desperation finally taking full effect for the blonde narut thrust his hand towards the head connecting with the area around sas's left eye despite the excruciating pain they were both in the two jenin struggled with all their might until the Searing light was too much causing them to break their concentration then everything went black one after what seemed like an eternity Naro finally regained Consciousness getting to his feet he immediately saw the crumpled form of sasakian not too far away from where he was the young turncoat was desperately trying to get to his feet and seemed to be clutching the area where his left eye was after several attempts sake managed to somehow stand up but was having trouble just staying upright as he slowly staggered to where Naruto was standing he noticed that blood was seeping through sake's fingers suddenly s s stopped to catch his breath and slowly removed his hand to reveal the most horrendous wound Naruto ever saw up close even though sas's left eye appeared to be unharmed the area around it was Bloody mutilated and viciously torn up the wounds appeared as a wide red circle with sas's eye in the center are you finally ready to come back home sake it looks like you can barely stand up let alone fight I don't want to hurt you any further but I will if I must shouted narut who found it odd that he wasn't out of breath or sore all over he found it even more odd that sake was acting like he wasn't there like he was invisible or something hey sake are you listening to me shouted Naruto hoping his louder tone would get break sake out of his trance but to his dismay sake said nothing but started to limp towards Naruto again like he was determined to close the distance between them even though the UA was sounding like every step was killing him he carried on regardless this only made Naruto's last nerve finally snapped hey you [ __ ] bastard answer me wh but what happened next effectively stopped the blond's rant instead of shoving him away or starting the fight again like Naro had expected him to sake just walked right through him like he was some sort of Illusion when Nar tried to turn around he suddenly collapsed to his hands and knees feeling completely drained of energy for some unexplained reason despite this sudden new development Naruto willed himself to move his body so that he could see where sake was heading it was like trying to crawl around with 500 lb attached to his body but he nonetheless successfully managed to move his body so that he could see what sake was walking towards but what met his sight was something that he never wanted let alone comprehend to see with his own eyes there right in front of him stood SAS staring down his own body with a gaping bloody hole right where his heart would be already blood was steadily flowing out of the wound sausage just stared at the corpse that used to be his opponent as if he couldn't really accept that he had killed Naruto suddenly sake felt blood rush up to his throat and was forced to hack it up as the blood spattered onto the body's face SAS collapsed to his knees out of fatigue his face inches away from touching The Corpse's face as he stared at the now lifeless face his headband slipped off of his head and clattered to the ground right next to the Head sas's Blank Stare then Twisted into a smirk hey just like I predicted not a scratch on my headband said SAS in an arrogant tone before he winced and clutched at his left eye but I didn't expect you to actually go for a crippling shot it'll give you that H I think you might have blinded me I may have lost the ability to use the Sharingan in this eye but it's thanks to you that I am one step closer to obtaining Vengeance on Itachi as sake turned to face Beyond the Valley of the end narut saw sas's right eye contort and change until that hardly even looked like a Sharingan it had a black background and a six-pointed red star on top of it as he got up on his feet and began to walk towards the Border separating ha nuni and Adon no Kuni going through Naruto again sake spared one last glance towards Naruto's body for all its worth I really wish that someone else that tried to stop me said SAS quietly before turning back and continuing on towards Oto bakir narut getting somewhat control of his shock tried once again again to follow after the escaping SAS only to trip and fall to the ground once again only this time he heard a familiar rattling sound looking down Naruto was shocked to see that he had a long chain coming from where his heart should be after giving the chain a few tugs he saw that the chain was somehow attached to the ground W what the hell is going on here why did sake go through me like that why are there two of me and why am I chained to the ground I don't understand what's going on shouted Naruto whilst trying to break the chain off of him all rational thought had escaped him it was if he were in some nightmare that he couldn't escape from just seeing his own body with the gaping hole in his chest was too much for him to handle I wouldn't be yanking on that if I were you kiddo said a laid-back voice from behind the blonde the currently freaked out blonde immediately stopped pulling on his chain and whipped around behind him to see who had just spoken what he saw was not something that he would have expected standing behind him was a girl that was about 3 years older than him she had bright brown eyes with a few freckles on her cheeks and had her sandy blonde hair in two pigtails for some odd reason narut noticed that a fang-like tooth was sticking out from her left upper lip she was dressed in a black code in Haka along with a white Haka himo tabi socks and waji shoes another thing he noticed was that there was some sort of badge that was tied around her left upper arm currently she was staring directly at where Naruto was trust me kiddo you do not want to damage the chain you're pulling on once it breaks and corrodes well let's just say there are Fates far worse than dying she added for good measure the shock of seeing the girl staring at him caused Naro to stop pulling on his chain and stare back at the strange girl that didn't seem to be freaked out at seeing him chained near a dead body identical to himself it seemed as if they were like that for hours until the girl decided to break the silence o stop staring at me like that it's already obvious that I can see you interjected the girl an agitated look replacing her once calm expression W what are you serious can you really see me narut nearly shouted you're not pulling my leg oh please what kind of girl do you take me for I never joke about my job or the dead she said in a dead serious tone what what do you mean I am dead how can you see me if I am dead who or what are you huh answer me hey don't take that tone me bub it's not my fault that bastard ran you through with that flashy lightning attack if you weren't dead then why is there another you laying on the ground stained with your blood she shouted immediately shutting up the Panic blonde and as for how I know all of this I am a Shinigami it's my job this caused the blonde to tilt his head slightly to the side like a fox would when it saw something confusing I am sorry but when you say Shinigami do you mean the girl just rolled her eyes having heard the unasked question over a thousand times that's right I am what your people call a soul Reaper she answered Brusly hoping that this Soul would stop asking questions she didn't want to be here longer than what was necessary she walked Brusly towards the recently deceased intending on performing the conso as quickly as possible and then going back to her quarters to rest so she was even more annoyed when the soul suddenly leapt away from her even though the soul collapsed in a heap afterwards huffing like it had just completed five consecutive marathons that little feet did surprise the soul Reaper pluses or benign Souls were able to move somewhat freely but they became extremely exhausted if they went through extended periods of strenuous movement sure they could move more easily when their chain of Fate was severed but it would only be a matter of time before they turned into Hollows hey what's your problem I am trying to help you out here shouted the girl as she tried to get closer to the blonde's soul but was once again forced to avoid another strike that she almost didn't see coming I don't need your help replied Naruto in between deep breaths he was completely exhausted but he wasn't about to allow himself to submit to the very being that sealed him to his hard life and what pray tell makes you think that I've already had one of your kind [ __ ] my life up by sealing the kyub into me as a baby and I refuse to be toyed with by you and you're kind again snarled Naruto in between deep pants his eyes showing that he was still willing to fight the girl just stared at Naruto before she glanced towards her right all the while muttering something even though he couldn't make out what she was saying to herself he could make out something that she referred to as a [ __ ] Jabari oi don't act like I am not even here since you obviously know about what's happening to me then I demand that you tell me what the hell is going on this proved to be the wrong thing to say as the pigtailed girl was instant in front of him holding him by the collar of his jacket nearly inches from her face how dare you take that tone of voice with me do you know how easily I can crush you like an insect just who the hell do you think you talking to brat she snarled a stuck up rude feral looking [ __ ] of a Shinigami that's who Naruto shot back despite his close proximity with the death God just then he heard a loud metallic snap followed by something similar to someone trying to chew metal looking down narut saw that the chain was no longer attached to the ground and that the individual links furthest from his heart had sprouted mouths and were eating and chewing into themselves a what the hell is going on now screeched Naruto as he yanked himself free from the shinigami's grasp and began to swing the chain around in a feudal attempt to whip the chewing links off of it if anything it caused the mouth links to start chewing faster hey you knucklehead stop doing that and just calm down the more you freak out the faster you speed up the encroachment process and once the process completes itself you'll turn into something worse than a monster shouted the female Reaper after nearly getting whacked in the head by the flailing chain immediately Naruto dropped the chain and raised his arms into the air the cannibalistic chain links slowed their Pace but continued to chew at a much slower Pace all right now letun try this again at more calmer manner said the pigtailed girl I am sorry to say this but you really are dead kid the fact that you have an encroaching chain of fade attached to your chest proves it and if you need more proof then just take a look at your bleeding body behind you Nar quickly glanced back at his own corpse before turning his attention back to the female Shinigami but I've nearly died plenty of times before like when that traitor Kabuto tried to make mince meat out of my heart how do you know that I've actually died for all I know the damn Fox is holding out on me just to teach me a lesson it's because of your chain it has already been severed meaning you can't return to your body not that it would have done you any good besides the wound that you've sustained was too much for even a demon like the kiui no kitsun to heal was her reply yeah but wait what do you know about the kiui at this the girl grimaced well having one of us seal something as powerful and chaotic as the kiui no kitsun into a human infant is something that no one in s isn't known even more so that it was done by a human making contact with a Shinigami then do you know exactly who it was that sealed that damn demon into me or why I can't feel it like I normally do asked Naruto hopefully the girl just shook her head can't say that do kid but as for your second question I would assume that it had something to do with the seal that imprisoned the Beast Within you of course the eight trigrs seal thought Naruto memories of when he had first meet the fox face to face instantly flooded his mind it was when J had thrown him over a deep gorge in order for him to access his be's power more easily the Fox Said So himself that if his host died then he would die as well look kid we really don't have time to play 20 questions I have to get you to Soul Society now said the still mysterious girl but you can't exclaimed narut desperately I finally have something worth living for I still have to become Hokage and fulfill all of the promises that I made TCH I person don't see why you have to but in so much effort in keeping any promise you made to those two faced ingrates muttered the girl with a scowl hey don't call my friends that shouted Naruto indignation Rising rapidly what do you know about my life anyways more than you know Naruto Uzumaki replied the girl calmly seeing the shocked expression on her charge's face she elaborated I did a background check on you while I was looking for your location and I got to say I am surprised that you actually want to go back to the life you had if I were in your place I would have left your village ages ago unless you're some kind of masochist that enjoys having everyone put you down and treat you like dirt hey it wasn't that bad sure most of the people in the village hated me and saw me as the fox demon reincarnated but there were a few people that acknowledged me oh yeah name them well there's the old man in my old Academy Sensei aruka Amino for starters began Naruto your old man was the leader of the village he had an entire Village to look after if he really cared about you then why didn't he do something more drastic to make sure that you had a better life growing up the fact that he just gave you your own crappy apartment when you got kicked out of the orphanage just shows how he only does the barest minimum when it comes to you and as for Mr C dolphin he practically treated you with cold indifference like everyone else up until he was nearly killed by his traitorous comrade was her rebuttal don't you dare say that that's not true they cared for me when when I was younger when everyone else treated me like [ __ ] growled Naruto causing the encroachment to speed up quickly okay okay I am sorry I take it back they did care about you said the girl in a plating manner slowing down the encroachment process once again are there any others yes there's Tu Ichi and a yam from ichiraku's ramen bar they were always nice to me okay that's four people there's pervy sage and Grandma sunade they were nice to me most of the time there's the rookie nine from my class as well as bushy brows team okay now hold up for a minute interrupted the girl how can you say that because both you and I know that's not entirely true Nar gave her a look before continuing on okay so I didn't really get along with Nei tenton Eno or that Shino guy but I am on reasonable terms with everybody else especially with my tea stop right there said the Shinigami abruptly I've seen SE several cases of delusion but yours kid is by far the worst I've ever seen and what's that supposed to mean hanada has always been nice and friendly to me sure she always acted weird whenever she was around me but she never once insulted me and even though bushy brows is a bit hard to understand he's still a nice guy right so that leaves you with a testosterone drunk jerk who constantly insulted and put you down so that he could think that he was the alpha male a violent food addicted Fatso that saw as an annoying Pest and lazy know it all that always spoke to you as if you were a Mindless idiot okay now you just over exaggerating things Shikamaru kba and shoi may have acted like that on a few occasions but they always hung out with me during my time in the academy they were my friends really how many times did they invite you to hang out with them after the academy was let out did they ever invite you over to their houses did they ever take the time to get to know you personally narut tried to come up with some sort of rebuttal but nothing came to him as he thought back to when he was still attending the academy he reluctantly realized that the girl was right the only time that they actually hung out was whenever they were in class after that they hardly hung out with each other whenever he saw them with their parents they would ignore him like he wasn't even there and when tried to go up to them just to say hello their parents would always shoot hateful glares at him or tell him to get lost W well they still hung out with me and just because they don't meet up to your standards doesn't mean that they aren't good enough to be anyone else's friends let alone mine argued Naruto fine fine who am I to say who your friends should be besides with all things considered they were way better than your so-called teammates and Sensei were hey don't you start insulting my don't finish that sentence what you had was anything but a team in fact if you were to look up team in the antonym section of a thesource your team would be listed what the hell are you talking about now maam was one of the best konohagakure had to offer exclaimed Naruto the Shinigami just scoffed in disbelief TCH if that was your Village's best then I fear for your Village's future what was that 'll have you know that Kakashi Sensei is one of the best ninjas around so just because he's a good Shinobi doesn't automatically mean that he's a good teacher besides in all of your time with your team heun's done a piss poor job of teaching you that's not true he was a great teacher said Naruto defensively oh really name one time that he personally taught or trained you well he taught me the tree walking exercise and team tactics started narut yeah yeah that's all good and all but did he ever take any time to personally teach you or even offer you any personal pointers or what about the tunin exams did he even try to help you prepare for your match and when you had important information about UA's opponent during the exam did he even bother to take you seriously that question had hit Naruto hard that particular moment was a bitter pill to swallow the fact that Kakashi had just traded him off to an instructor that had a grudge against him with only chakra control exercises to work on still made him resentful of his instructor how was chakra control exercises going to help him against Nei hyuga who was top rookie out of his graduating class even though it all worked out for him in the end it still hurt that Kakashi preferred to train sake over him at the fact that he never once took him seriously about the whole gar incident just added salt to the wound and don't even get me started on that prick SAS said the Shinigami as if she were reading the ex Shinobi's mind what your village and nearly all of the women in your old village saw in him 'll never know if you ask me you should have focused on killing that Traer instead of trying to drag his ass back to your village hey sake was one of the few people that I could relate to he was like the brother I never had this elicited an incredulous laugh from the reaper your brother you're soall brother spent most of his time belittling you to fuel his own arrogance he had the entire Village eating out of the palm of his hands and he never once showed any gratitude towards them not to mention that he stabbed the entire Village in the back just so that he could learn a few high power techniques from a traitor and here's the icing on the cake he attempted to kill you multiple times until he finally succeeded Ed Camy I know a person's First Love is special and makes someone act stupid but this is I am not gay interrupted Naruto really so then how do you explain your first kiss during that was not intentional that was an accident and nothing more exclaimed Naruto angrily I was only starring him down when some bastard knocked me off balance and I fell on him I would have clobbered that jerk who caused that nightmare to happen if I had the chance okay okay I didn't mean it like that but if SAS isn't your lover then why are you giving him so much leeway especially when he was the one that took your life especially since he has never respected you as a comrade since the very first day you started working with your team again Naruto was at loss for words SAS was never Pleasant to be around no matter how hard he tried and trained SAS always seemed to outdo him and every time he did the bloody ucha seemed to take Delight in rubb it in his face he always envied how everyone automatically seemed to respect and accept SAS and secretly wished that he could just switch lives with him that was why he tried desperately to improve himself so that he would no longer be in sas's Shadow yet whenever he did manage to surpass SAS in some area the iiha became hellbent to beat him down again or try to one up him and last but not least there's that shallow self-centered pinky haired howler monkey of a [ __ ] said the Shinigami no don't you dare say that about Sakura why should Niti she never said anything Pleasant about you so why should I say anything nice about her but more importantly why did you put up with the abuse for so long what are you she never treated me badly denied Naruto defensively is that so then what you're saying is that all of those times that she hit you for being nice to her criticizing her oh so precious SAS [ __ ] or for any other reason she found justifiable as a way expressing her affections to you wow I am so sorry I had no idea replied the girl sarcasm practically oozing from her voice sh shut up she it wasn't like that at all shouted narut a waiver easily detected in his voice oh for the love of what the hell's the matter with you why are you so defensive with this girl when she never once gave you the time of day snarked the Shinigami her patience with blonde nearing its limit criminy just how ignorant are you what the hell are are you talking about I am not ignorant shouted Naruto if you thought that you had a chance with that shallow pink-haired flat chested [ __ ] then you clearly are ignorant the fact that you're still crushing on that selfish Brad just shows how much you lost in your own world no matter how nice you were to her and no matter how many times you've asked her out she still preferred to be shot down by that uch traitor that right there should have been enough proof for you to realize that the girl was a lost cause you take that back you don't know socer achan like I do I know that she hardly ever contributes to the team when you're out on the mission and still criticizes you every little thing that you do I know that she always takes sas's side whenever you have an argument with that prick and I also know that she becomes incredibly desperate whenever something or someone threatens said prick in which case she does something extremely stupid that would endanger herself and everyone else around her why are you so dead set on making this girl like you because she went through the same problems that I did when she was still a kid she didn't have many friends she was being picked on bullies and she always felt lonely so I take it you tried to help her out narut had the decency to blush at that comment while simultaneously scratching the back of his head well I did sort get back at those bullies and I tried to talk to her once but let me guess she was already hanging around with that other brainless Uchiha loving cow uh what's her name it had something to do with SS or was it pigs you know yeah that's it narut said nothing his head seemingly focused on the ground it was all too true after she became friends with Eno yamanaka Sakura's attitude completely changed she immediately started acting like all of the other girls in the academy since she didn't get a response out of the Soul she interpreted it as an affirmative answer that only made turn her nose up into the air in disgust hey that just proves that she was never worth all the time you spent pining over her will you shut up you have no right to criticize socer achan like that she is a lot nicer since when interrupted the reaper her tolerance for the whiskered blonde finally giving way to her frustration since when has your beloved Soaker achan ever treated you kindly she never once gave you a chance to actually date you she never complimented you whenever you accomplished something she couldn't she never passed up a chance to either hit or insult you and she was never nice to you hell she never even thanked for saving her own life which she automatically assumed was saved by sake the ninja that couldn't do jack [ __ ] against that bloodthirsty sunna kid and if that's not enough for you she then had the gall to beg with tears flowing from her eyes for you to bring her SAS back she specifically used you to get her prince charming back to her not giving a [ __ ] if you or any of your teammates came back alive all throughout the Reaper's tongue lashing Naro tried frantically to come up with a refute to her argument anything to stop her from going on but try as he might he just couldn't do it the years of denial and self-d delusion were finally catching up to him overwhelming him with a torrent of emotions he had been holding back confusion despair hopelessness frustration but most of all anger 13 years of repressed rage began to flow all over his body like lava flowing from an erupting volcano and it wasn't the anger he would usually show around in public but the Deep seated kind that he felt ever since he was kid he was angry at the yandi Hokage for sealing the kiui inside of him he hated that he was always targeted because of the QB he was angry that the villagers Shinobi and civilian never took time to actually get to know him instead seeing him as the kyub be reincarnated he hated that he had work his fingers to the Bone just to get the things that his peers often took for granted he hated that his own teammates used him as fodder for their jokes and always looked down at him as the lowest standard and most importantly he was angry with himself for letting his life continue to degrade to such a sad State the Shinigami oblivious to the internal strife going on in Naruto's mind continued on with her tiate it's time to face facts bucko your Sensei was a two-faced lazy favorite playing hypocrite your brother was a heartless arrogant power-hungry traitor and you so-called Crush Was a Good for Nothing materialistic talentless [ __ ] who gave kunoichi and women everywhere a bad name [ __ ] you replied Naruto in a cold detached voice now it was the shinigami's turn to appear to be lost for words sure she had heard that phrase hundreds of times before but she never heard it in that way the way it sounded made her think of someone that was about to kill her it took her a moment to realize that it was a freaking plus that said that her a freaking plus already she felt her resolve not to physically harm the boy in front of her deteriorate at a rapid Pace what did you just say to me she said in a tone that was promising unimaginable amounts of pain I said [ __ ] you [ __ ] you you [ __ ] Shinigami [ __ ] snarled Naruto his head shooting up to stare the reaper right in the eyes the very sight of those eyes elicited a gasp from the reaper as they were not like those shed ever seen in a plus nor a hollow the scura were a deep blood red while the corneas remained blue but it was the pupils that started make her uneasy instead of the normal circular pattern that she saw in both pluses and Hollows alike there were feral slits that sent chills down her spine but that was nothing compared to the sudden flood of Riu flowing off of narut in a violent mixture of black and red which slowly began to condense and take the form of some large animal you [ __ ] Shinigami are the reason why my life was so [ __ ] up your kind were the ones that sealed the kyubi into me cursing me to a life of being the entire Village's scapegoat your kind caused me to experience perpetual prejudice and discrimination for something I had no control over I had to work non-stop to try and s a v g the mangled life that I was given constantly fighting tooth and nail just to be accepted amongst my peers like a normal person and now when I've finally made some leeway into improving my life you criticize the [ __ ] out of it and tell me that I have to leave it behind well [ __ ] you [ __ ] the whole lot of you Shinigami bastards I know that my life was harsh I know that it should have been better but it was the only life that I had damn it hollered Naruto as the ratu condensed on itself even further until the Shinigami saw that it resembled a large Fox with huge sharp teeth and nine long tails that were thrashing around as if they had a mind of their own the sight was so terrifying that the young Shinigami almost didn't notice the souls chain began to encroach like a school piranhas going on a Feeding Frenzy on an obese cow any second now the chain would be completely Cor Ed and the boy would turn into a hollow and judging by the amount of Riu this Soul was generating she really didn't want to fight it when it became a hollow that and she would get in a lot of trouble with her superiors for provoking a plus into corrupting itself okay okay I am sorry I am sorry for being so blunt I've had really bad day and I wasn't in the mood to go on this Mission I didn't mean I upset you but I was just trying to help you pass on she said desperate to calm the young boy down pass on pass on why the [ __ ] would I want to pass on I want my old life back but I can't do that it's already too late F don't give me that [ __ ] your kind can seal giant malevolent demons that can change the world's Landscapes into human beings and you're telling me that you can't do something as simple as extending a human's life I can't do that your chain of Fate has already been severed the soul can't be returned to the body you have to let me perform the conso on you so you can go to the soul Soul Society Soul Society is that what you lot call Oblivion give me one good reason why I should even think about allowing you to take me to that [ __ ] place at this point only about a third of the chain remained because if you remain here you will become a hollow a monster that feeds on The Souls of the living once that chain is gone you will be cursed to an existence of Despair pain and endless hunger and considering all that you went through when you were alive I doubt that you would want to suffer for the rest of etern exclaimed the Shinigami that tidbit of information was enough for Nar to subdue his rage as he collapsed to the ground the exhaustion finally catching up to him the overbearing Riu started receding until there was nothing left leaving the plus hunched over on his hands and knees his face looking at the ground beneath him and the chain of Fate slowly encroaching towards the center of the boy's chest seeing that she had little time to accomplish her Mission the Shinigami approached the deceased youth once she determined that he would not attack her but when she got the boy she noticed his body was trembling and there were small damp spots on the ground right underneath where his eyes would be then she heard the barely contained sobs well what are you waiting for just hurry up and get it over with if I am going to be sent to this Soul Society Purgatory or hell just do it and spare me the suspense choked Naruto feeling a new wave of pity for the young deceased the reaper gently cued Naruto's chin her hand and slowly brought his face which had to tears dripping down his cheeks up to hers it was then Naruto saw the female shinigami's face it wasn't emotionless or vindictive like you read in the old history books it was gentle and sympathetic which made it even more confusing considering how the girl had acted earlier on I never said that you were going to hell she said softly the soul Society isn't as bad as you think it is it's actually very similar your village you'll be able to live in peace with no one judging you for something you didn't do it'll be like getting a second chance to live a good life but but I am scared said Naruto in barely a whisper I am scared to see what's on the other side I am scared that things will be just the same as when I was alive the Shinigami gave a gentle smile it's all right to be afraid everyone's afraid when it's their time to go I know that it's hard to let go but you'll only be hurting yourself and everyone else if you stayed here narut became silent once again this time remembering all of the people that he did care about and knew truly cared about him as well he didn't want to leave them all behind but he didn't want to stay and potentially hurt them but there was still one nagging thought that kept on bothering him um will it hurt at all asked Naruto quietly this got a small chuckle from her not at all it's completely painless so long as you haven't committed any crimes or sins against nature and before you ask that excludes you keeping the Kyu at Bay with that she withdrew her Katana from the Scabbard causing the blonde boy to f Lynch don't worry I am not going to hurt you she said reassuringly before she switched her blade into a reverse grip wait before you send me away can you at least tell me your name asked Naruto the reaper was momentarily surprised by the question very few Souls asked for her name perhaps this particular Soul wasn't completely annoying she quickly regained her composure and allowed a smirk to form on her face hiori my name is hiori sarugaki Lieutenant of the 12th division she said in a calm tone you know it's customary for a guy to give a girl his name once she gives you hers narut just had to smile it's Naruto Uzumaki monkey brat he said with a smirk of his own it appeared that his old personality began to resurface you're so lucky that I need to get you to the soul Society she said a tick visible on her forehead she then gentle jabbed Naruto in the forehead with the pommel of her sword leaving behind an approved kanji immediately Naruto felt an over helming calming sensation wash over him as the entire body began to Glow with bright blue white light subsequently narut slowly began to sink into the ground leaving behind a black butterfly that fluttered off to the sky seeing that her task was gone hiori withdrew a cell phone from her pocket and hit a button in order to contact her superiors yo it's sarugaki yeah the plus has been taken care of she said no I had gotten to him before any Hollows could get to him and it was a good thing too this particular one was able to use ratu without even knowing it hell it was even able take a visible form what it did look like I don't know it kind of looked like some kind of wolf with multiple Tails no wait it was a fox yeah yeah it was a fox but it had nine tails instead of one look can you just open the gate so I can get home if you're so interested in this plus you can read my report mere moments after she cut the connection a large sliding door materialized out of thin air the door then opened revealing a blinding white light yet this did not impede hiori from entering through it before it finally phased out of existence all that was left was the bleeding body of what used to be one Naruto Uzumaki suddenly it started to rain with increasing intensity as if Mother Nature was crying for the two young Shinobi that had lost their innocence the scene remained as so for nearly 5 minutes before Kakashi and his ninken pacun arrived to the scene Kakashi just stood there shocked stiff at what he was seeing he tried to convince himself that the rain was making him see things but knew that was just wishful thinking on his part as he slowly approached the body pacun trotted over to the headband that was laying on the ground it's sauses the dog said after giving it a few sniffs his scent is being washed away by the rain I can't track him anymore Kakashi remained silent the entire time just staring at what used to be his hyperactive student the dead last of the academy the legacy of the yandi Hokage the very sight of Naruto made Kakashi think back to when he first began as the John and Sensei for team seven before he passed the team he had told his students that he believed that those who broke the rules were trash but those who abandoned their comrades were lower than trash but upon retrospect he realized that he didn't really follow his own teachings he was lazy when it came to training his students thinking that he was actually giving them their own space to hone their own skills and whenever he did take an interest in training with them he only taught his students teamwork exercises but never really bothered to stop them whenever they fell apart to make matters worse he would constantly spend extra time to help SAS after their usual team meetings but didn't extend the same courtesy to Naruto or Sakura heck he even opted to train SAS for the chunin exams over Naruto and just passed him off to another Jan so that he wouldn't have to worry about it it spoke volumes as to how he had failed as an instructor and Naruto paid the ultimate price for his lack of actions Kakashi what are going to do asked pacun as he watched his Summoner carefully pick up the body of narut into his arms before he went to retrieve the discarded headband letun head back home pacun and report this to the Hokage he replied solemnly but what about SAS are you sure th I am sure hakun interrupted Kakashi a bit more sternly than he intended SAS is already crossed the border and the rain is washing away his scent it'll make tracking and finding him nearly impossible right was all that the small ninkin had to say before he and Kakashi leapt off towards konaha he knew what was going through Kakashi's mind but decided to just follow his master back home not a minute later something slowly emerged from the ground at first glance it looked like a plant that was similar to a venus fly trap except the plant was wearing a black cloak with red clouds had a head with green hair as well as arms and legs but the most noticeable feature of the humanoid plant man was the face its head was of two colors meeting at the center of the face the right side was a dark black while the left side was white the odd thing was that only the white side seemed humanlike as half of a mouth and the bright yellow eye was visible the black side on the other hand looked as if it were devoid of any human characteristics with the exception of a Beady yellow eye that showed no cornea or scura that that [ __ ] prick looks like you can always trust the runt of the uch clan to screw things up said a voice that seemed to have originated from the black half indeed said different more calmer softer voice that seemed to have come from the left side the leader will W to hear of this immediately the medical staff was all AB buzz when the members of the uch retrieval team were brought back whilst Shikamaru and kba's injuries weren't serious Nei and Choi needed immediate attention the akamichi airs body was dangerously atrophied and was suffering the side effects of using his Clan's special brand of soldier rations pellets the three colored pills Nei on the other hand had multiple stab wounds as well as two gaping holes that were caused by his opponent's high-powered arrows even though the hospital had sunade and shizun's medical expertise to help them the severity of the wounds still kept them busy kba and his partner akamaru weren't in life-threatening Danger but they were going to be out of commission for a while surprisingly Shikamaru had only a few scraps and bruises a broken finger and Mild chakra exhaustion to show for his part in the mission and was thus treated fairly quickly Rock Lee a newly healed ninja that had volunteered his services to the team was just suffering from some pulled muscles and exhaustion currently the young Nara was sitting in the corridor that branched off to the two operating rooms that Nei and Choi were currently occupying across from him was tamari one of of the three Shinobi from sagir that answered the hokage's request for backup it was thanks to her team that keba Lee and himself managed to make it back without receiving any more Grievous injuries but that wasn't what troubled Shikamaru from the moment he reached the hospital his mind had been replaying everything that went wrong on the mission he had known that it was going to be Troublesome but he had never expected this much trouble the ninja that had escorted SAS to otogakure were something else almost like something out of a horror movie every time one his comrades stayed to fight oton nin so that the team could continue their Pursuit he couldn't stop himself from thinking that he had sent one of his friends to their death after Choi and Nei had stayed behind and they had managed to successfully get SAS away from his escort team he briefly thought they had a sliver of a chance at succeeding but it all went downhill when kba and akamaru got caught in the explosion from the explosive note that they had planted to cover their escape they weren't hurt by the explosion but the shock wave had thrown them and the lipstick wearing oton nin over the Ravine subsequently another Aon nin came out of nowhere and had reacquired sake before running back towards the borderline realizing that Naruto's abilities were more Adept for combat he acted as a diversion so that Naruto could continue on the battle from then on in was by no means a walk in the park for him the kunoichi was just as Fierce and bloodthirsty as were all the rest of the Aon nin that he had encountered yet where as her teammates specialized in brute strength and heavy hitting Jutsu she relied on strategy Jutsu as well as a trio of blind overlike monsters to fight the fight had forced to him to use every trick that he knew but it still wasn't enough to fully incapacitate her but when it looked as if he was going to die that Troublesome fan wielding kunoichi came out of nowhere and literally blew the enemy away with ease it wasn't that he was ungrateful for Tamar's help but but her fashion of dealing with her opponent strongly reminded her of his mother hey pineapple head stop brooding over what happened out on the field and apparently she had the same mind reading powers as well what was that asked Shikamaru I said stop wasting time brooding over what happened during the mission tamari repeated from what I heard you and your friends were in way over your heads right from the very start agreed Shikamaru I knew all along that we were going against Ninja that were on a whole different level than all of us and yet I still sent my comrades guys that I knew as a little kid to fight enemies that I knew they had no chance of defeating they were living people each with their own personalities hopes and dreams and I treated them like Pawns in a shogi game well that's one way of putting it but like it or not that's what leaders sometimes have to do caring about the welfare of your team is fine and all but there are some cases where the completion of the mission takes priority over everything else said toari as she crossed her her legs Shikamaru just stood up with hmph and started to make his way out of the waiting room confusing tamari hey what do you think you're doing going to resign as a Shinobi there's no way I can deal all of the stress and responsibilities of this rank hell I didn't even want to be a chunin in the first place and given how badly this Mission went I doubt that you'll be able to remain a chunin for much longer it's just too Troublesome to deal with said Shikamaru as he began to walk off Tamari responded in kind with an unladylike like snort never took you for such a crybaby sure I knew that you were a quitter but I thought that you would at least be man enough to weather out being a chunin for a while before you decide that you not ready for the responsibilities she said hoping to get the young Nara to make a comeback or for his personality to revert back to when he was fighting against her during the chunin exams well I guess I am not the person that you thought I was sorry to disappoint you but that's life it's full of disappointments retorted she garu not raising to the sunak kunoichi's Barb his tone sounding defeated the greenhorn chunin continued on his way towards the Shinobi registry building he was just passing by a hallway intersection when he saw his father leaning against the wall that was perpendicular to the path that he was taking are yah just going to let a girl talk down to you like that he drawled his eyes still closed I guess you are not really a man after all that made Shikamaru stop in his tracks he didn't expect his father to be there nor did he expect him to be listening in on his chat with tamari it's too Troublesome to deal with right now and besides I am still a kid so I don't really have to worry about acting unmanly yes you can't really call yourself a man not with your current attitude you think that just because your first mission is a Chun and failed that gives you the right to just walk away from everything your comrades trusted you to lead them to the best of your abilities they already knew of the dangers they were going to encounter when they left the village Gates they were aware of the risks that they would likely encounter in the mission yet they still followed you and here you are griping about how everything went wrong as if you get the right to say that they fought a battle that wasn't important did you you even stop to think what your comrades reaction would be if they found out that you want quit after one failed Mission are you going to let all of their hard work and sacrifices be for nothing Well Shikamaru just stood there silent and unresponsive his normally laid-back father's words had struck a cord within him making him actually consider his decision if kba and narut were to catch wind of his decision to withdraw from active service they would have never let him hear the end of it but at the same time he couldn't in good conscious continue on as Shinobi knowing that he was responsible for Nei and choji's critical injuries if they were crippled for the rest of their lives or even worse died from their wounds how could he possibly lead anyone else just then the door to choji's operation room opened Shikamaru Whirled around to see sunade walking out as if she could sense what was going on in the young narus mind she sent him a comforting smile there's nothing to worry about anymore shoi akamichi is going to be all right she said reassuringly as she took a seat on the bench he was in critical condition but we were able stop the side effects of the akamichi three-colored pills thanks to the deer handlers that your clan provided shakaku hey it's always a pleasure to help the village whether it's out in the field or in the hospital lady Hokage replied shikaku coo he then took a quick glance to towards his son whom he could see was in what was akin to shock that his best friend was really going to be all right judging from his earlier Behavior shikaku could tell that Shikamaru was expecting the worst possible outcome suddenly the door to the operation room where Nei was held opened and out walked shison she was panting slightly and the lights showed that she had sweat collecting on her brow but she looked triumphant nonetheless Nei hyuga's operation is a success the Fatal injuries have been treated and he is no longer in critical condition but hell need to be out of active duty in order to properly heal Shikamaru just stood there silently taking in all of the status reports of the heavily injured members of his Squad from what he had seen when he got back to the hospital shoi and nei's injuries were fatal and that their deaths were imminent yet by some miracle they managed to survive Shikamaru tried to remain optimistic that everything was going to turn out all right yet there was still one lingering Dreadful outcome that constantly pestered him to no end is there any word of Nar nuto asked sunade masking her worry with the calm facade that she used in public shizun was about to answer her Mentor when one of the medic nins that were sent to retrieve Fallen Shinobi approached the group lady Hokage he said immediately gaining the attention of everybody present jonan Kakashi haki has just returned he's brought back the body of Jen and Naruto Uzumaki he continued solemnly the room became swiftly silent as everyone tried to comprehend what had been ceremoniously dropped on their laps his his body started toari R are you saying that Naruto Uzumaki is dead continued the medic from what I gathered the Fatal wounds on Uzumaki are consistent to those that the Chidori are known to make haki has confirmed this theory has also stated that it was sasak Uchi who performed the Jutsu no one dared to utter a single word it was just too absurd to accept what they had just heard it was like they had just heard that the entire world was going to blow up in the next 24 hours despite her shock shison turned to see what her mentor's own reaction would be knowing that the older woman had started to see the younger blonde as a surrogate son as she gazed upon the Hokage even though it seemed as sunade was calm and serious the young medic nin could tell that the news was tearing her up inside she didn't know what do or what to say next lady Su shizun said the Hokage suddenly cutting off her Apprentice I want you to stay here and supervise the medical team in charge of the two genin treatment alert me if there are any signs of trouble we already lost one Shinobi from this damn Mission I will not lose any more of our soldiers and before shizun could say anything sunade left accompanied by the medic nin to see Kakashi for his report and to examine Naruto's body as proper protocol stated for any Leaf Shinobi that died on a mission with the Hokage gone the room was filled with a tense Silence with no one daring to utter a word the quiet atmosphere however was abruptly interrupted when Shikamaru fell to his knees before leaning forwards and landing on his hands his bod trembled as he held back the sobs that were trying to come out he knew that it was unmanly to be seen crying in front of everyone and that a Shinobi should have better control over his emotions yet he was unable to stop the tears that started to leak from his clenched eyes the cold hard fact the once hyperactive loud blonde was now no longer alive that his old classmate his fellow member of the four losers his comrade was dead this is all my fault he said in a strained voice I've barely been a chunin for a whole month and I've already gotten one of my teammates killed and on my first mission as leader too said Shikamaru his emotions in upheaval despite his clipped tone tamari in a rare instance of benevolence dropped down next to the distraught Nara and embraced him in a gentle hug it's not your fault she said her voice low enough so only he could hear it you and your friends were up against Shinobi that could easily take down two veteran Jan without sustaining injuries newly promoted shunan are never expected to be ready for those sorts of missions you did the best you could yeah but my best wasn't good enough to make sure everyone survived as leader it was my duty to see that my teammates made it out alive regardless of the mission yet I can't even do that right if only I tried harder if only I hadn't separated the team then maybe we could have we could have Shikamaru struggled to finish his line of thought all the while trying to restrict the amount of tears that were already trailing down his cheeks tamari said nothing as she tightened her arms around him despite her normal harsh and abrasive attitude that she sported whenever she was out in the field she herself knew that there was nothing more saddening than losing a comrade that you had known throughout your childhood and decided not to taunt him for his laps in composure especially since said comrade was the one kid that had single- high-handedly defeated her youngest brother and helped him change for the better shikaku said nothing as he watched the interaction between his son and the sunna kunoichi from afar whilst he didn't show it he too felt remorse for what his son was going through he knew that Shikamaru would have had to deal with one his comrades dying sometime during his time of Shinobi but he had hoped that it wouldn't have been so soon preferably when he had a few years of experience under his belt as for Naruto's death well he didn't know what to think even though he didn't actively despise the boy for what he contained he did try to keep his son's interaction with him as minimum as he could in order to protect him from the civilians and other Shinobi he could tell that things were starting to look up for the genturi as he watched how blonde was slowly gaining trust amongst the populace but as the johnan commander for his village he realized that nut's death would be seen as a sign of vulnerability with their only ginu gone their enemies might even see it as the right chance to strike and further weaken their Village shazo on the other hand just made her way to choi's room a lone tear sliding down her cheek she couldn't stand being in the waiting room so she decided do what her master instructed her to do hoping that it would distract her from the fate of the boy she had started to see as a little brother 22 with Naruto unknown location the very first thing that Naruto noticed once he had regained his bearings was that he was staring up at a blury gray sky the second thing was that he laying flat on his back on the hard unforgiving surface of the Earth and ground as he slowly sat up he saw that he was laying in the middle of the street to some City that he was unfamiliar with the designs of the buildings were familiar to some of the buildings that he had seen around konaha only they seemed a bit more worn down than the ones he was used to some of them looked as if they were about to be demolished if the broken windows and weathered walls were anything to go by looking around himself Nar saw a few shops set up on both sides of the street selling products ranging from food and clothes to jewelry and other trinkets that Naruto never truly cared about a few people walked past him going past him in both directions some were dressed in normal clothes While others were wearing what looked to be Rags it wasn't until a passer by's shoulder nudged into him that Naruto realized his surroundings weren't the only things that had changed since he had been whisked away from the land of the living gone was his ruined and battered orange jumpsuit and in its place was an ordinary white kimono with his shuriken and Kai holster still strapped to his right thigh and instead of his normal blue Shinobi sandals he saw that he had on a pair of zor sandals complete with a pair of white Tabby socks okay this is just weird thought narut as he moved around to get a better feel for the strange clothes he was now wearing I am pretty sure that monkey Brad didn't mention automatically getting new clothes when you get into Soul society and I had expected Soul Society to a bit nicer than this everything looks so run down here almost like the Land of Waves when gotd was still in control looking around he saw that there was hardly any people up and about it was as if he was stuck in a ghost town figuring that had nothing to lose narut went up to the merchant that was managing a jewelry stand close to where he was standing thinking that the man would have some idea where he was as he got closer he saw that the man in question had a drastically receding hairline and a large gut um excuse me sir he started um hi I am a bit lost in IW piss off freedon interrupted the man I don't associate myself with new arrivals like you Naruto was momentarily stunned at the outright rudeness of the man he didn't even know the guy yet he was being treated as if he had egged his house I am sorry is there something wrong the blonde asked yeah there is something wrong the man sneered you're holding up business just by standing there I am trying to make a profit so that I don't have to move out of my apartment and I am not going to be able to sell my Wares if some Penal new arrival like you keeps looking around now unless you're going to buy something the I suggest that you get the [ __ ] out of here but I just need directions said Naruto all I want to know is hey Street rat get out of the way shouted a new voice from behind him turning around he saw a Gody looking woman that was wearing a heavy amount of makeup and had wrinkles around her eyes she was wearing a faded and wrinkled gown and a dirty feather boa behind her were two other women that were dressed in a similar fashion yet seemed a few years older than the woman in front of them are you deaf you stupid fool get out of our way honestly highclass socialites such as ourselves should not have to deal with low brow trash such like you she said in a hotti tone before she whipped open a fan and began to Fan herself her followers copying her a second later what did you just say to me you ugly hag snarled Naruto his patience already dangerously close to breaking all he wanted was some damn directions he had only just arrived to this Soul Society or whatever this place was called and yet he was already beginning to feel like he was still in konaha how dare you speak to us in such a manner the lead woman shrieked you have no right to even be seen by us let alone talk to us now get out of here before I call the authorities to do away with you she said smugly narut was sorely tempted to open a can of whoop ass on the pompous woman before him just the way she spoke to him made him want to hurt her badly yet his conscious kept nagging at him that doing so would just cause more problems for him in the long run not to mention that he was completely new to this area and there was the off chance that the woman before him no matter how unpleasant actually had the power to order the authoritative figures to arrest him so with great reluctance narut just merely walked away from the merchant and Trio of unattractive ladies having to use every ounce of self-restraint not to attack them when he saw the smug looks they were sending him yes that's right go back to whatever dump you crawled out of she said her voice full or arrogance and self-importance 'll remember this you old wrinkly [ __ ] thought Naruto Darkly already feeling distrustful towards the people Souls whatever they were the blonde decided that he would be better off wandering aimlessly down the street trying to find out where exactly he was by himself he did not die just to be placed in an afterlife similar to the life he previously had 22 some time later okay so maybe going off on my own without asking anyone where I am wasn't My Brightest idea thought Naruto as he looked around the now seemingly abandoned area he had been wandering for some time and was still oblivious as to where he was he had reckoned that along the way he would have found something or someone that could tell him where exactly he was but as luck would have it for the blonde he came up with zilch and the people that he did ask for help were either too busy to notice him or were only willing to give him information that didn't really explain anything to him so far he had learned that he was in Ruki more specifically District number 64 the north alley of wandering spirits well isn't that ironic I am blindly Meandering about in a district that's named after wandering spirits and where the hell is rukon Nagi I thought that I was supposed to be sent to Soul Society not the district for lost Spirits man I've been dead for barely a day and I've already been royally screwed over I should have known better than to trust that Shinigami [ __ ] monkey brat I should have just kicked her and udo's inner raging was cut short when he saw something that he had seen several times before in his life and had even experienced it a couple of times himself there in front of him was girl that was about the same age as he was she had strawberry blonde hair that came down to her neck but what really got Naruto's attention was the dirty and torn clothing she was wearing to make matters worse it looked as if if she was in serious pain judging on how she was swaying from side to side as she moved at a snail's pace and clutching at her stomach as if it were taking every ounce of her strength to just walk what was the final straw for Naruto was when he saw her finally collapse to the ground yet none of the people passing by didn't even stopped to see if she was all right they just continued on their way as if what had happened was commonplace without wasting a beat Naruto rushed over to the girl laying on the ground already fearing the worst all thoughts of finding out where he was were put on hold as he concentrated on examining the girl for any severe injuries after a brief search turned up nothing Naruto carefully turned her over so that he could see the girl's face but as he finally got a look her Visage he was met with a pair of pale sky blue eyes staring back at him with almost no life to them the dirt smudges that adorned her face hinted that she had lived in a severely impoverished state for a while hey hey kid are you all right come on speak to me asked Naruto as he gently nudged the girl hoping that she could somehow respond to him he had felt something akin to a pulse from her earlier but he was still afraid that the girl's condition could worsen thankfully it looked like the mysterious girl was still alive as her eyes locked onto his her lips made minuscule movements as if she were trying to tell him something but Nar couldn't hear anything I am sorry I didn't catch that what did you say he said while placing his ear closer to her mouth in hopes that he could hear whatever she was saying and get some sort of of clue as to what was ailing her Ry so hungry she rasped in a pitiful tone just hearing those words made Naruto feel as if someone had grabbed onto his heart with their bare hands and crushed it having experienced the horrible sensation on multiple occasions whilst he was alive narut knew all too well how much pain the girl was in but that thought alone just brought up more questions did Souls really need to eat were there animals that could be hunted for food could he even taste food and was there any place that served Ramen no no no stay focused damn it you have an emergency here narut mentally berated himself quickly regaining his senses narut quickly glanced about to get a better grasp of his surroundings he noticed that up ahead of him to his left was a large section thriving with several trees and Shrubbery which he assumed was a park of some sort gingely picking the girl up Naruto quickly made his way towards the area looking for a safe and secluded spot seeing an old tree that was in the corner of the shrub fence that boxed in the entire part narut carefully placed the girl down and propped her against the tree he then crouched down so that he was at eye level with her all right I have go away for a while he said calmly what but why the girl asked frantically please D I didn't say that I was leaving for good he said plating I am just going out to get some food and medical supplies all right so I need you to stay here and wait until I come back okay can you do that for me the girl just looked up at him desperately her eyes slowly glistening as if she were seeing him for the last time it made him think that she had experienced something like this before look I promise you that won't leave you behind I give you my word that I will come back for you if there's one thing about me that's always absolute is that I never go back on my word he said looking her in the eye with a serious expression he had to hold back the Flinch as he remembered about how he had ended up in this place his words had the desired result though as the girl no longer looked as if she were about to cry yet he could still see some doubt in her eyes she stared intently at him for what seemed like ages until she raised her right fist with her pinky finger extended Pinky Promise she asked Naruto just smiled as he hooked his own pinky finger with hers Pinky Promise he answered confidently now I really have to go before all of the good stuff is gone but it'll be back I promise he said before he dashed out back onto the main street as he ran he couldn't help but wonder why he had brought up his old nindo the very fact that he had failed to uphold his own Way of the Ninja made him feel ashamed of himself especially since he had used it to calm the poor girl down to him it was as if he had lied to her which made him feel even worse how could he have made such a promise to a girl he had just met when he couldn't even fulfill the important promises he made to his teammate hell what right do I have to keep my nindo at all since I failed soccer achan he thought grimly before schooling his face to a serious expression but I don't have time to mope and feel sorry for myself I made a promise to someone that truly needs my help I can't afford to let her down she's been without food for far too long I have to at that point narut felt like kicking himself for not thinking things through in his rush to help the girl he had forgotten that he lacked one important necessity money the very thing that makes the world turn round as some had put it Nar couldn't believe how he had forgotten something so crucial how was he even going to get anything without any money he knew for a fact that he didn't have a single scent on him when he passed on to rukon Nagi and he was definitely sure that the mysterious girl didn't have any on her either otherwise she wouldn't have been in her current condition just as narut was about start mentally beating himself up for not thinking things through yet again he sudden realized that he was already in one of the open market sections that mainly sold food clothes medicine and other necessities Reckoning that he just didn't pay attention to where he was going he stared longingly at the products that were so close and yet so far from him judging by the appearances of the vendors the former Shinobi surmised that they wouldn't be too Keen towards charitable donations for children in need but seeing as he was pressed for time and had no way of paying for what he needed Naruto had to accept that his only other option was to steal whatever he needed he knew that he was capable of pulling it off but it was all a matter of timing having the right tools available and being able to have an effective distraction his training had prepared him for dealing with a situation like this and he was lucky that he still had his shuriken canai holster with him now all he needed was someone to use as a distraction and possibly to pin the blame on Nar darted into a nearby alley and began to look for a possible stool pigeon for him to use despite the fact that there were a lot more people up and about than he last recalled he saw no one that really stood out and could draw the attention away from him properly that is until he saw a disturbance approaching the stands that he was targeting his eyes widened once he had gotten a decent glance at what exactly was causing the Ruckus oh this is just perfect he thought gleefully as he got a devious look on his face 22 back at the park the girl waited Patiently by the tree that the blonde boy had placed her by she had nothing to do except sit under the tree and try to keep her mind off of her growling and gurgling stomach she didn't know how she had gotten in her current predicament or for that matter why that strange whiskered boy was helping her sure she was grateful that someone was willing to help her when everyone else just turned their nose up and passed by but she was suspicious as to why he would even bother helping her naturally all of her time living on her own had made her suspicious of others so she couldn't understand why he wanted to help her but what really confused her was how she ended up nearly starving to death she had never been that bad off before at least that's what she thought frankly she couldn't figure out how exactly she got like this she knew that she lived on her own and that she was looking for a place to sleep the last thing that she remembered before passing out was bumping into some man dressed in white before she felt something Collide against the back of her head when she regained Consciousness she was lying on the ground with no clue as to where she was going and feeling exhausted and thus she began to wander around District 64 hoping that she would come across something that would help regain her memories but all that she had accomplished was nearly dying of starvation and yet coming closer to finding out what happened hey I am back sorry to keep you waiting recognizing The Voice from that mysterious boy the girl was brought out of her musings to see a sight that she couldn't believe the boy had returned heavily Laden with loaves of bread fruits sandwich meats sliced cheese vegetables bottles of water bandages healing ointments two blankets and other necessities she was rendered speechless trying to comprehend how he had managed to steal so much without getting caught Naruto on the other hand took her silence as a negative reaction is this not enough because if you want more I can always what no no no no that's all right this is more than enough the girl said before Naruto went off again I am just surprised that you've brought back so much that's all how did you manage to sneak away with all of this anyway Naruto's eyes darted the right as he recalled how he had pulled the hit off 22 back at the open market let go of me let go of me this instant you filthy pigs screeched the GTI looking from before as she and her two friends were being hauled off by the three Shinigami that were assigned to patrol the district that day do you have any idea of who we are yeah we do you and friends are the main suspects for the robberies that occurred at two major stands replied the patrolling Shinigami tesy us thieves that's absolutely absurd we would never do something so dastardly it is completely beneath us she shouted oh really then would you mind explaining to me what you all were doing at the scene of the crime or for that matter why we found stolen merchandise from the stands in question as well as the weapons that was used in the robberies on all three of you him said the Shinigami as he held up two plastic evidence bags containing a roll of bandages and two of the several 4 point stars that were found at the scene of the crime the woman's eyes widened at seeing the objects BB but that's impossible those aen mine I've never say never seen them in my entire life H if I had a Yen for every time I've heard that excuse my division wouldn't be tasked with guarding the north alley of wandering Spirits now come on we've got a sell back at the station with you and your friends names on it he said as he and his Partners dragged the three suspects back to the detainment Center the women all the while struggling and ranting about how they were framed or how they didn't deserve to treated like commoners 22 at the park uh let's just say that I had some help from a few people that I met earlier said Naruto lamely as he placed all of the food he had gotten on a blanket that he had placed on the ground well go ahead dig in you look like you haven't eaten in a year the girl didn't need to be told twice as she all but dived into the the mass of food that Naruto had brought back she quickly grabbed an apple and took a large bite out of it practically trembling in delight at finally having something edible to eat oh thank you thank you so much you've truly saved my life she said euphorically as she then grabbed a pair and began to take alternating bites from the fruits it wasn't long until they were reduced to co before she went to grab two more apples to eat Naruto just sat there and watched the girl go to town on the fruits vegetables and an entire baguette that was in front of her he was happy to have helped her but just seeing her eat so ravenously made him feel sorry for her this girl he thought sadly she really has been without food for a while but what is she doing out here all alone shouldn't her parents be taking care of her a sudden growling sound from his stomach brought a small blush to his face apparently the hit had taken a lot more out of him than he had thought he just hoped that she didn't take any notice the girl however did take notice as she was just about to devour another Apple when she heard a familiar gurgling sound that didn't come from her own stomach for once realizing just where the sound came from she offered the Apple that she was about to eat to the only person that ever bothered to help her uh no thanks it'll be all right besides you need this more than I do I can go for a while without eating said Naruto sheepishly he didn't want to actually take any of the food that he had gotten for her and hoped that she would just take his word for it the girl didn't buy into his act as she thrust the Apple closer to him giving him a dead serious look oh all right if you insist said Naruto as he accepted the offered fruit from the girl her expression brightened after that it wouldn't be right if you just sat there and watched me eat after everything that you've gone through to get all of this besides I know how painful it is to go without food so I wouldn't want you to go through the same experience so help yourself it's your food too she said sweetly a small smile adorning her face narut couldn't help Smile as well as he took a bite out of the apple he had to agree with Tui and aam people were more pleasant with a full stomach oh by the way I don't think we've introduced ourselves he said in between bites the names Naruto Uzumaki what's yours the girl swallowed the piece of bread that she was currently chewing I am rangaku Matsumoto it's nice to meet you Naruto [ __ ] she answered with that same cute smile you're a really nice person but I don't think that I've ever seen you around here before why is that Naruto [ __ ] nord's demeanor darkened at rangiku's question well to tell you the truth the reason that you've just met me is because I've just recently died rangaku Chan he said sadly oh I am so sorry I didn't know I didn't mean to bring it up said rangaku immediately regretting asking her question no it's okay rangaku Chan you didn't know about it even though I've only been dead for a short while I am beginning to adjust replied Naruto soothingly I just wish that damn Shinigami didn't lie to me lie to you why would a Shinigami lie to you she claimed that I had to let her send me to the soul Society or otherwise I would turn into a horrible monster if I had remained in the land of the living but when I D let her do the conso thing I ended up in some place called rukon Nagi District 64 instead of the Soul Society I can't believe I listen to that liar rangaku looked on confused but Naruto [ __ ] you are in Soul Society what I said that you were in Soul Society rukon Nagi is a part of the Soul Society it's where a majority of the souls live but but if this is where you go after you die then why does this District look so beaten up do All Souls end up here when they pass on asked Naruto rangaku shook her head not all of them Naruto [ __ ] usually it's just a matter of chance you see rukon Nagi is divided into 320 districts with 80 districts for each cardinal direction north east south and west as the number number of the districts increase the standard of living decreases District ones like jrin of West rukon Nagi is considered to be the most luxurious place to live Where the streets are clean the food is exquisite and there is never any crime District 80s like North Zaraki on the other hand is known to be worst place to live imaginable it's used as a hideout for criminals and the living conditions are almost non-existent but the most important part of Soul Society is surrounded by all 320 districts ser it is at Ser where the Shinigami reside so what you're saying is that since we're currently in District 64 we're basically living in something similar to a civilized ghetto asked Naruto disbelievingly well I wouldn't exactly call it a ghetto but yes this district is one of the more poorer ones Nar became silent his face taking on a deadpan expression rangaku was caught off guard by the sudden change in emotions it just didn't seem right for someone so bright and cheerful to be so cold and distant looking she thought that narut must have been really upset about something and was just about to ask what was wrong when Naro broke the silence that damned monkey brat now that threw her for Loop monkey brat she asked Naruto just looked at her blushing out of embarrassment for speaking his personal thoughts oh sorry about that it's just a nickname for the Shinigami that brought me here I remember that her last name was sarugaki it literally means monkey Brad I be surprised if no one has ever called her that before said Naruto mirthfully as he laughed along with rangaku 22 with hiori sarugaki the lieutenant of the 12th division was just cleaning her sword off after she had just killed yet another Hollow that plagued the sector she was supposed to be patrolling she was in a bad mood when she was sent out after sending that annoying blonde ninja to the soul society and had used the hollows that were there as a way to vent out her frustrations she was just about to phone for a portal back to serid when she felt an odd sensation at the back of her head it was similar to the one she got whenever her Captain was making fun of her height yet there was a slight variation to it it was if someone else was making fun of her for an entirely different yet equally humiliating reason and she had felt it plaguing her for a while now so another smart ass thinks he can get away with making fun of me eh she said to herself her eyebrow twitching all the while I swear when I find that smug bastard I am going to beat him into a bloody pulp in the most painful ways imaginable 22 back at North District 64 anyways I was meaning to ask you before but why exactly were you out on your own asked Naruto this time it was rangiku's turn to look down trodden I am not exactly sure myself aside from my name the fact that I've been living on my own and that I have no place to call home I can't remember anything she said sadly Naruto immediately felt stupid for not being more tactful on what was appropriate to say around girls specifically one that looked looked as if she went through a rough time it's so frustrating she said suddenly as she threw her hands to the ground her gaze focused on where her hands were I've been trying all this time to try and regain my memories and yet nothing's come back to me I've been wandering around without a clue as to where I was going hoping that I would be able to find something or someone to help me remember but all that did was nearly kill me everyone that I approached for help just dismissed me or treated me as if I were a parasite I don't care if I was the daughter of a rich family if I was abandoned at Birth or if I had any friends all I want is to remember just who I am she wailed as her frame began to shudder tears slowly dripping to the ground do you have any idea on what it's like to go on living not knowing if there's anyone out there it actually cares about to have people blatantly ignore you when you need help to know that everyone around you doesn't care if you live or die at this point the she didn't bother to hold back the silent tears she was just too tired of keeping everything bottled up besides it wasn't like Naruto was going to stay now that he had fulfilled his promise to her everyone wanted as little to do with her and she was sure that he would be no exception after all who would want to be around an amnesic nobody like her so she was very surprised when she felt his arms wrap around herself and pull her to her into large Embrace her face shot up to meet nudos to ask him why he was wasting her time with her only to be shocked to see a few tears sliding down his cheeks I know all to well what you've been through rangaku Chan said narut remorsefully feeling like there's no point to your life seeing strangers glare and sneer at you whenever you walk by I've experienced the same thing from when I was born to the day I died I've had people who I thought were my friends belittle me every day just because everyone else was doing it I grew up experiencing hatred and hostility from everyone in my old village just for existing and I know that the worst part about being alone is not having someone to depend on someone to comfort you when you're feeling depressed rangiku's eyes widened at how thoroughly the boy hugging her described what she went through with such detail she gazed deeply into his eyes trying to search for any signs of Deceit in them but all she saw was sincerity and sympathy within those pools of deep ocean blue they were the eyes of someone who had been forced to endure one hardship after another throughout their entire life someone who experienced firsthand just how cruel people can be to each other but the thing is you don't have to to be alone not anymore rangaku Chan he said his eyes quickly brightening to their usual Sunny disposition as he wiped away the tears despite everything that had happened to me I still found people that accepted me they were my light that kept me from being consumed by the darkness that was always around me they were there for me whenever I needed help just like how I want to be there for you rangaku gasped in Surprise hardly believing what she had heard Nar continued on regardless as he eased up on his grip so that he could face her I've practically lived through hell when I was alive and 'll be damn if I allow another person go through the same torture that I have I know that you've just met me and that you're still missing your memories but I do really like to be friends with you ruchan he finished with a toothy smile that gave the appearance of a grinning Fox why you really W want to be M my friend she asked doing a spot on imitation of the Shai hyuga arys that he knew from the past well I know that I am not the sharpest tool in the shed and that I still have no understanding of how the soul Society works but if you'd be with willing to put up with me I before he could finish rangaku slammed into him throwing her arms around him in a one of the fiercest hugs that narut had ever received but what made it even more important to him was how he felt her trembling against him and the small wet spots growing on the front of his kimono i i d don't want to be alone anymore she said softly narut just smiled serenely as he hugged her back aimlessly stroking her hair in attempt to comfort her and you'll never will be from now on rangaku Chan he said it'll always be there for you I promise thank you sniffled the girl in his arms who made no effort to break the contact Naruto just sat there allowing rangaku to release all of the pain and misery she experienced onto him as he held her he could help but think about all that had happened since he passed on sure things didn't start off well for him in the beginning but in the end it didn't seem as bad as he once thought it would be so what if he didn't end up in the most luxurious part of rukon AGI he now had a friend that was so similar SAR to him that it was almost scary and unlike in konaha rangaku seemed to truly care about his well-being that unfortunately brought his mind back to konaha and how the village would be dealing with his death he knew that the majority of the population still thought ill of him due to the KIU and that only a few people would actually be sad about his death a well there's nothing that I can do about it now I mean sure the people that actually cared about me will be sad but they have their own friends and family to help them plus now that the fox and I are dead the Akatsuki will have no reason to Target konaha anymore besides it's not like my death is going to affect the village as a whole everyone hates me they'll be glad to be rid of me in fact I bet that they're celebrating my death right now 22 konohagakure the gray sky and steady downpour of rain matched The Village's overall mood perfectly it had been merely a day after the failed UA retrieval Mission as The Village's Shinobi forces were dressed in black and gathered at the latest addition to the graveyard that was reserved exclusively for those who have died in the line of duty it was here that they would their respects to one Naruto Uzumaki namazi yes Naruto's full Heritage was finally revealed and now everyone in the whole village knew it had all started when Tsunade held an emergency council meeting in which she declared that sasak Uchiha had willingly defected from the village and that he was to be marked as a missing nin while the civilian Council was in an uproar the Shinobi Council gave their full support to the hokago 's decree which instantly quelled any attempt to get the Hokage to reconsider her decision for the civilians it was when she mentioned that Naruto was killed by sake that things went downhill the civilian council's attitude did a complete reversal saying how the Uchiha had done them a favor before he left the Shinobi side were just non-pulsed about the Revelation but she could have sworn that she saw the inuzuka and hyuga Clan heads smirking but then one arrogant counselor had the G to say how that killing narut would have been enough to Pardon sake of his crimes that was the last time anyone heard him speak as the very moment that comment left his mouth his head was forcefully separated from his body courtesy of one of tsunade's chakra enhanced punches while it may have not been the best response she could have made as Hokage she did manage to get everyone's undivided attention it was an opportunity however in which she fully took advantage of she wasted no time in berading the civilian Council for their callous and Prejudiced Behavior towards Naruto treating him with disdain and hostility for a something that wasn't his fault she then redirected her anger at the gathered Shinobi Clan heads tearing into them at how they acted no better than the civilians and had even gone as far as allowing their clansmen secretly orchestrate assaults on the boy her glare lingered on Su and hiashi for a brief moment at that point when the another bold citizen demanded why she was making big deal about Naruto's death sunade shocked everyone present by revealing who n udo's parents were that had gotten the desired results as the whole room became dead silent unsurprisingly it was the same civilian that broke the silence vehemently denying her claim to be true it gave sunade a bit of grim satisfaction at seeing the council's reactions when she produced the necessary documents to prove her claims valid now everyone was mourning over the Naruto's death including the very people that had made it their duty to make the boy's existence miserable [ __ ] Hypocrites the whole lot of them thought tady with a scowl the minute Naruto's parents are made known these bastards act as if the yandi has died again yet not to long ago they were planning a celebration over his death but her gaze softened somewhat when she spotted some of the few people that didn't treat Naruto with Scorn the surviving members of the retrieval Squad was at the frontmost of the gathered group each of them solemn faced and Silent in paying their respects to their fallen comrade behind them stood the rest of the konaha 12 and their John and instruct hanada was heavily leaning on Kai for support as she tried her best not to break down in despair Sakura wasn't fairing well either even with Eno by her side Nei she observed still was displaying the generic emotionless hyuga expression but she could see from his stance that it was just to hide his grief she also spotted aruka Amino behind the group standing by Konohamaru and his little friends to her surprise Kakashi was actually on time for his students funeral she had half expected expected him to arrive 3 hours late like he usually did but what was even more unexpected was the fact that sunna's siblings were present as well when she asked why they had wanted to stay for the funeral gar was the one to answer for the trio I want to pay my respect to the one Shinobi who saved me from my own self-destruction that had thrown Tsunade for Loop and made her realize just how influential Naruto could be when he wasn't so hyperactive to be able to change people like gar and herself was something true leaders would have given their arm to have she mused that he would indeed have made an excellent Hokage before Grim reality brought her back into the present she wasn't looking forward to telling jiah of his godson's fate as she knew that he had wanted to take Naruto on a three-year training trip in preparation of the Akatsuki she didn't even want to think of what he would do once he learned what had happened with a sigh she gazed up to the raincloud filled Sky watching aimlessly as the rain continued to fall how fitting it's as if Heaven itself is crying for you narut she thought sadly before she walked towards the head of the casket to begin the funeral services for Naruto Uzumaki namazi son of manado namazi kona has yellow Flash and yandi Hokage and kashina Uzumaki The Red Hot Blooded habanero and second ginu of the kiui no kitsun it was truly a sad day in konaha as it would be the day that the village lost the last descendant of the Uzumaki Clan and one of its greatest heroes it had been nearly 1 and 1/2 years since Naruto had met rangaku during that time the two had become the best of friends and learned to depend on each other with rangiku's knowledge of Soul society and Naruto's experience from when he was a Shinobi they were never too bad off they found little jobs that they would pay them just enough to buy food for a day but they never kept the same job for more than a couple of weeks lest they draw unnecessary attention to themselves yet despite their teamwork they did have a few days in which they nearly had to go a day without eating at those times the whiskered blond solved their plight with one of his raids but this time he only stole enough for a day or two there was no sense in stealing a week's worth of food and then have to lay low for nearly a month rangaku however wasn't too keen on Naruto's Last Resort of stealing food for them and had always made her opinion on the matter verbally known to him in fact it was the only time that Naruto had ever seen the girl Angry yet despite his friend's attitude to his alternative plan for obtaining food Naruto was more than willing to take the risk as opposed to seeing rangaku starve again it was an argument the two friends had countless but after one particularly lengthy one that progressed to raised voices and unshed tears the duo had reached a compromise Naruto would only go out on one of his raids if it was an utmost emergency and only if rangaku gave her permission to do so beforehand despite that one incident the duo had fallen into a type of routine that they followed diligently every morning after a quick breakfast they would each go to their respective job and work for the majority of the day after they got off which would be around late noon to early evening they would meet up at the park where they first became friends they would then have a small dinner before turning in for the night the two blondes were often exhausted by the end of day's work but they always made sure to spend some quality time with each other whether they were taking walks together or just talking about what happened that day it wasn't the luxurious life style that the citizens of the upper levels of Soul Society experienced but they were content with being in each other's company and despite the seemingly endless monotony that made up their life they were happy to be together but little did they know that their lives would soon be changed forever 333 what do you mean you firing me hollered narut as he desperately tried to refrain from strangling the fat slob of a man in front of him that was once his employer it's simple kid he answered in a Wheezy tone the head manager is coming to back the premises in 2 days and I don't want him to see no homeless kids working for me you understand right it's just business business my ass you've had me working for your restaurant for over 3 weeks now with ridiculously long hours and extremely low pay hell your part-time workers make more money than I do and they only work two to three days a week countered Naruto his temper waning with each passing second yes well what did you expect him the A and homeless Street rats looking for handouts and going through garbage cans for food they can actually provide legit credentials when they apply for work you're lucky that I even considered allowing you to work for me at all legit credentials who needs legit credentials to work as a dishwasher or a bus boy you know the rules unless you can provide a real address and proper identification you're not fit to work now get out of here I've got potential employees to interview and with that the slob began to Waddle back to his office Aon you forgetting something asked Naruto stopping the manager in his place the man just turned to stare at the boy as if he were some annoying pest what what do you want now my payment Naruto responded holding out his hand to further his point I've worked at this joint for 3 days since my last payday so I would like you to pay me for the days that I worked whilst I was still under your employment TCH not on your life kid or did you forget our little agreement when I hired you on because if I recall you agreed to work for me on the grounds that you would be working longer hours a smaller paycheck and that you would only be paid for every Work Week you've completed the obese man chuckled cruy tough break kid but thems the rules what I never a grr you never said anything about that stipulation didn't need to it was specifically mentioned in our little contract the manager pulled out said document from an inner pocket in his greasy Howry his finger specifically pointing at a certain line of text Nar Ruto leaned in closely to search for the ridiculous claws only for his eyes to widen once he found it hidden within the text you've got that damn thing practically buried no one could have possibly found it in their first reading hey it's not my fault you don't read contracts carefully the fat man said smugly stuffing the contract back into his howy this is completely unfair you can't do this well guess what Brad I just did and there's not a thing that you can do about it sure you can call the local authorities but who do you think they're going to believe eh a respectful shift manager of a restaurant or a no-name street rat that's been known to steal food from the vendors in this neighborhood Nar flinched knowing that the disgusting slob had him where he wanted in one of his more amateurish mistakes the blonde had been caught by the man eating some of his spoils just moments after the patrol Shinigami had asked him to keep a lookout for anyone suspicious that had products from a highquality fruit vendor at first Naruto thought that his boss simply didn't care what he did so long as he worked for him but now it was obvious that he was just waiting for the right moment to use it against him knowing that he had no way to counteract his former boss blackmail Naruto silently made his way out the restaurant not willing to give the overweight bastard of a boss the satisfaction of hearing him admid defeat Naruto stormed out of the back kitchen through the main dining area and out the front door his mind a whirlwind of anxiety and Dread although the whiskered blonde absolutely hated working for that jerk it was still a means to make money for food clothes and other necessities for him and rangaku additionally now was not a good time for him to be jobless about 2 weeks ago the store where rangaku was working at had gone out of business and she was having a rough time in finding another job and with their income practically cut in half it made buying food a lot more difficult sure narut was able to sneak a few meals from his job without his bastard boss catching on and the cooks were nice enough to give him the leftover food when they closed up for the night but it just wasn't enough but now that he was unemployed once again he didn't know what to do next Naruto [ __ ] the sudden Outburst broke Naruto out of his inner musings and he found himself standing a few feet away from the clearing he and rangaku had set up as their temporary home it was somewhat discomforting that he had made it back home without him even realizing it h hey there rangaku Chan he answered with a tired smile as she approached him the girl that stood before him looked nothing like the one he had found when he had first arrived in Soul Society now that they were able to buy food on an almost daily basis she no longer looked like she was going to starve to death out on the streets she was dressed in a much cleaner black kimono than her last one and had grown her hair down to her shoulders but the most noticeable change that she had made to her appearance was the bright pink silk scarf that was tied around her neck he had seen her admiring it from one of the Stalls that they had passed whenever they went to work even though it had cost Naro a surprisingly high amount of money due to the fact that the scarf was made out of high quality silk he felt it was well worth it the look on her face when had given it to her as a gift on her birthday which coincidentally was the same day that they had met was priceless that memory never failed to make him smile 333 flashback starts hey rangaku Chan greeted Naruto a massive grin stretched across his face as he saw his friend make her way towards their home he had a small package wrapped in old newspapers hidden behind his back ready to surprise her but his happy mood took a nose dive when he saw how depressed she looked hey what's wrong I got fired from my job at the clothes store Naruto Kon she said despondently what exclaimed Naruto why I thought the manager liked you she did until she caught me trying to steal from her but I didn't do it I swear she hurriedly explained of course you didn't I know that you would never do such a thing but why would the manager it was mahok kazami scalled rangaku she snuck several of the more expensive products into my locker whilst I was on my break when the manager noticed the products missing mahu led her straight to me but you were innocent didn't your boss at least give you a chance to explain your side of the story TCH of course she didn't if she had to choose between firing a legal employee like Maho or some homeless bum like me itdb obvious that shed go with the one that wasn't supposed to be working there in the first place she sighed so it looks like our funds are going to be strained for a while well at least until I can find another job I am so sorry rangaku Chan I know how much you liked working there he scalled as he recalled the time he had met the woman that he had assumed to be fair and unbiased I can't believe that fat [ __ ] just fired you just from the lies of that spoiled [ __ ] Maho I am so going to make her pay for this make no mistake no Naruto [ __ ] don't even think about that the strawberry blonde sighed tiredly look can we please not talk about this now I've had a very long day oh yeah sure of course answered Naruto internally kicking himself for dwelling on rangiku's bad experience and I have just the thing to help distract you with an elaborate flourish Naruto whipped the wrapped pack from behind his back and presented it to his friend Happy Birthday rangaku Chan rangiku's eyes widened in Surprise and my birthday narut nodded do you know what today is of course I do it's September 29th we met each other one year ago today and on that day we both agreed that September 29th was also going to be realization flashed through her eyes my birthday the strawberry blonde lightly conked the side of her head with her fist sticking out her tongue playfully I am such an airhead I've been so busy that I completely forgot my own birthday but her good mood soon vanished as she recalled what exactly had happened earlier that day that is until Naruto gave her a light flick to her nose making her pout cutely hey now none of that said Naruto with a big smile stretched across his face this is your special day and I want have you spend it worrying about work we deal with that mess tomorrow okay rangaku wanted to protest but the whiskered blonde's happy mood was just too infectious to resist with a smile she accepted Naruto's gift which she noticed was wrapped in old newspapers uh sorry about the messy appearance but I couldn't find any good cheap wrapping paper within my budget said Naruto sheepishly but Youk really like what's waiting underneath the wrapping I assure you rangaku just giggled at her friend's enthusiasm as she tore into the newspaper with gusto revealing a small bundle wrapped in thin white tissue paper that was extremely light in her hands her curiosity pequ even more she carefully removed the secondary layer of paper and gasped at what she saw there in her hands was a long silken scarf just like the ones that she had seen from that one stall that she passed by every day on her way to and from work word on the street was that they were tailored out of the softest of silk by a woman who was a retired seamstress she had always wanted one but they were just too expensive since most of their money went into buying food and other necessities and then in a cruel twist of fate the very day that they could spare enough money to buy one was the day that the stall had sold the very last scarf to make matters worse the vendor said that the woman had stopped making them due to health issues that was a sad day for the girl as she thought that shed lost her chance to buy something really nice and yet here was one lying her hands and it was pink her favorite color this this is she stuttered disbelievingly before her eyes darted to narut where did you get this Naruto's expression turned sheepish as he began to idly scratch at his cheek well I noticed how often you'd stop by to look at those things so I started saving up a little secret fund I was actually lucky to raise enough money to buy the last one when I got off work early the real challenge was keeping it hidden until your birthday explained narut but the only scarf they had left was colored pink so I am sorry if it's the wrong color but whatever Naruto was going to say was abruptly cut off as he felt the air knocked out of him when rangaku collided against his body and wrapped her arms around him in a massive hug Naruto was momentarily stunned considering that he didn't have much intimate contact with people when he was alive but still managed to return the hug in a somewhat awkward manner I love it exclaimed rangaku happily I absolutely love it are really asked narut unsure of what he was hearing rangaku gave him one last squeeze before she stepped back a beaming smile on her face of course I do this is the best birthday present I've ever gotten technically it was the only birthday present that she recalled ever receiving but that was beside the point relinquishing her hold on her friend rangaku took a step back and wrapped the silk garment around her neck securing it with a simple knot now wearing her latest accessory she struck a pose holding a peace sign and sending a playful wink towards Naruto well how' I look as narut took in her appearance he began to realize that he was having a hard time keeping his impending blush under control he couldn't understand why but things had started changing between rangaku and him it started with just the simple things from how she would always hug him after he came home from work to how she always seemed to make him laugh whenever he was feeling down but then it began to progress further the way her eyes always seemed to shine in the Moonlight how her laughter would send excited shivers down his spine or how she seemed to always end cuddling up against him when they slept he was beginning to experience feelings that he had never experienced before not even when had been pursuing Sakura's affections when he was still amongst the living that thought alone had kept the Uzumaki up for several nights with countless unanswered questions constantly bombarding his mind hello Naruto Kon are you still with me the whiskered blonde snapped out of his thoughts to see that rangaku was still in don't leave me hanging like this aren you going to answer my question uh s sorry rangaku Chan why you look really cute in that scarf narut managed to utter through his flustered stuttering rangiku's eyes widened in Surprise while cheeks darkened with a small blush do do you really mean that oh of course I do he cursed himself for sounding so nervous she was his friend he should an have any trouble talking to her it's just that I wish that I could have gotten you something more than just a scarf he was about to say how he wanted to buy her something else when he felt a pair of warm and moist lips being pressed against his cheek turning to his left he saw that rangaku was blushing up a storm but she managed a small smile well I think it's perfect she said quietly before engulfing the other blonde in another hug thank you for the lovely present Naruto [ __ ] flashback ends 333 Naruto [ __ ] the whiskered blonde was jostled out of his reminiscing by rangiku's voice bringing him back to reality he noted that his friend was looking at him with concerned eyes sorry about that rangaku Chan I've had a very bad day what was it that you were saying he asked rangaku huffed in annoyance at her friend's habit of spacing out at the most awkward of times I said what are you doing home early don't you usually get off from work later than this instantly Naruto's mood soured as his mind recalled the Fiasco he had just experienced seeing his downtrod and expression rangaku immediately medely knew that something was up what's wrong Naruto [ __ ] Nar sighed I was just let go from the restaurant what but why your supervisor has been making you work 6 days a week with reduced pay for almost a month why would he just fire you on the spot like that well apparently the general manager is coming by this week and the Fat Bastard thought that a street rat like me working there would make for a bad report so he sacked me but he made sure to do so after I was nearly finished for the day but he paid you for the days that you worked right ha laughed Naruto sarcasm heavily lacing his voice have you actually seen guy the first that I used to work for rangaku Chan he weighs more than the both of us combined and is always dressed in expensive clothes that alone shows that he cares more about fattening his own wallet and himself than paying his employees a decent wage plus he managed to trick me into signing a contract where I only got paid for every work week I complete and guess who just missed next week's paycheck by 4 days he finished by jabbing his thumb to himself that's completely unfair shouted rangaku how could he do something so so ARG if he was right here I deep hunt him isn't there anything that you can do that question earned a Grimace from narut not if we want the local authorities to catch wind of us at her questioning glance he continued the guy managed to catch me in an awkward position when I grabbed a few things from that Old highquality produce store but didn't do anything or turn me in since he didn't fire me on the spot that day I thought that he just forgot about it but I guess that was just wishful thinking on my part he was just saving his little Discovery until he needed it that fat bastard growled rangaku angr before she engulfed the other blonde in a hug I am sorry that you were fired from your job Naruto [ __ ] thanks rangu Chan but I am the one who should be sorry I mean me getting fired isn't exactly what we need as this moment replied Naruto as he returned the hug he didn't want to ask what was on his mind but he knew that he couldn't simply put it off until later out of curiosity how much food do we have left just enough to last us for about 3 days and how are on the money situation we we probably have enough to buy enough supplies to last us two more days Naro bid back the curse that he wanted to shout and what about the job interviews got any possible call backs lined up rangaku just shook her head not feeling like answering Naruto sighed once again already beginning to feel a headache coming on everything just seemed to fall apart all at once o Aon we in a mess said Naruto to himself before his gaze turned back down to the girl still hugging him so now do you regret not taking up the Jing offer to go to S he yelped as he felt rangaku pinch his arm sharply the irritated look she gave him showed that she wasn't amused that's not funny Naruto Kon I thought we agreed to not talk about that anymore she chided I know I know but I was just saying that look I understand what you're talking about but I meant what I said 5 months ago you remember that promise that we made right 333 flashback start Naruto was in a good mood for once he had managed to finish his work at his current job as a stock boy for a grocery store allowing him to punch out at 300 p.m. and he managed to find a sale on apples bread and ground beef he was on his way to surprise rangaku as she usually got off work at around this time as he turned the corner he was surprised to see his friend talking to a boy that looked like he was around their age he had pale white hair and his clothes were in a somewhat better condition than both his and rangiku's although he could still see some minute stains and tears but it was the boy's face that really got his attention that big smile combined with those closed eyes just rubbed him the wrong way his expression reminded him of a weas fox and a snake all at the same time from what he could see the two were in the middle of an interesting conversation which bothered him for some unknown reason and prompted him to make himself known rang aoan his shout managed to catch his friend's attention her eyes brightening when she saw her best friend approaching her Naruto [ __ ] what are you doing here she exclaimed as she ran towards him and engulfed him in a hug I managed to get all of my work done early so I decided to surprise you and I managed to find a few good sales at the grocery store so we're going to be set for the next few days rangaku cheered in Delight whilst the strange boy looked somewhat perplexedly at him you need to eat as well asked the boy Nar just stared at him as if he grew a second head well yeah because not eating is just too painful and uncomfortable uh what's your name oh I am sorry I completely forgot interjected rangaku before she gestured to the boy standing beside her Naruto [ __ ] this is Jin ichimaru Jin San this is my best friend Naruto Uzumaki it's a pleasure to meet you Naruto San said jyn as he gave a small polite bow likewise replied narut giving a bow of his own but back to your question why did it surprise you to find out that rangaku Chan and I need to eat because an ordinary Soul doesn't really require much food to survive only those with large amounts of riryoku must have constant nourishment Reay yoa riryoku or spiritual energy as it's commonly known it's the energy that resides inside Every Soul within the soul Society the amount of riryoku varies from soul to soul with the Shinigami being the ones that normally have the largest reserves it is through their riryoku that they are able to enhance their fighting capabilities enabling them to safeguard the souls in both our world and the living world that caught Naruto's attention ever since that sarugaki girl had helped him pass on he became C curious as to what made the Shinigami tick and if they relied on this riryoku to fight then he reckoned that they were somewhat similar to the Shinobi from his old home world but there was still something that he didn't fully understand how do you know all of this Jinan asked Naruto weily jyn's smile widened which put Naruto on guard for some reason well it's simple really I possess riryoku two granted I don't have as much as you do Naruto s but I D say I am just about at rangaku Chan's level as rangaku gushed over jyn's knowledge of spiritual energy narut couldn't help but scowl at how familiar the strange boy seemed to act with his friend that bothersome feeling was back again only this time it was a bit stronger so do you live around here Jin San he asked in an attempt to keep a silverette attention away from rangaku well no I don't I somehow got lost on my way to District 32 and I happened to cross rangaku Chan here she was kind enough to point me back to the right path oh I am glad that she was able to help then there are quite a few characters that you wouldn't want to run across in District 64 if you know what I mean I guess that you probably want to get on your way if you want to reach District 32 before nightfall actually there was something that I wanted to tell rangaku Chan just before you found us and now that I think about it this will most likely affect you as well Naruto and rangaku shared a brief worried glance before turning their attention back to ichimaru what are you talking about JY San lately there has been talk about an increase in crime and violence around the lower districts robbery fights between gangs murder they're all occurring more frequently at an alarming rate and on top of that jobs are becoming more and more scarce for those that are without proper homes with each passing word that left from jyn's mouth the more Naruto's heart sank it was becoming increasingly difficult to hold on to jobs in their District even more so whenever they had to find new ones and having to maintain constant vigilance over himself and rangaku for the less favorable characters that prowled the streets at night for any woman or child they could Corner didn't exactly help him in the long run where exactly is this happening which districts are displaying the surge in violence and crime the whiskered blonde asked so far from what I've personally heard it's mainly happening in districts 70 through 80 but with the way things are I wouldn't be surprised if your District becomes affected as well and is that why you're trying to get into District 32 Yes actually I am then you must have some pretty well- connected friends I know that the gateways to District 40 and upwards are heavily guarded and that the only way that someone from the lower districts can ever hope to be allowed passages by travel papers but those are extremely hard to come by especially if you are from the slums but not if you know people who can make forgeries of said papers that look convincing enough to fool the guards retorted the silvered Nar looked at the squinty-eyed smiling stranger and shocked trying to gain passage to the upper districts with counterfeit travel papers was an extremely dangerous risk and was punished quite severely whenever someone was caught in the act those papers must have cost an arm and a leg to get the ichimaru boy actually chuckled I have to admit the price was quite steep but I D say that it was worth the sacrifice for a chance at a better life my partner and I were going to attempt our little trip 2 days ago but when I arrived at our meeting place she never came it was only yesterday that I learned that she was killed in a massive gang fight rangaku gasped in horror her hands unconsciously shooting up to cover her mouth whilst narut remained respectfully silent they had seen their fair share of gang fights and were fortunate enough to avoid getting caught in the crossfire but those that weren't as fortunate as them were never the same afterward that is if they were lucky enough to survive I am so sorry for your loss said Naruto having no idea on what to say Beyond a simple apology thank you I was at first tempted to just forget about the pilgrimage to District 32 but I eventually decided that doing so would be an insult to her memory I had a few close calls but one in particular had forced me to take more drastic measures to ensure my Escape which caused me to lose my way that's when I happened to cross your friend and she was willing to help me out we talked a bit about our lives until you found us Naruto s JY then turned back to rangaku but I wanted to ask you something very important rangaku Chan even though my friend had passed away I still kept her passage papers and I was wondering would you like to come with me to District 32 come with you exclaimed rangaku caught off guard with jyn's offer but why I want to give you the chance for a better life with things getting progressively worse in the lower districts I thought that it would best if you left while you still had the chance granted I didn't know that you were living with someone and I apologize for springing this proposition so suddenly in front of you and your friend but what about Naruto [ __ ] isn't there any way that we can find someone that can forge passage papers for him as well I wish that there was some way to help him but the man who wrote up these papers had left right after he made papers for my friend and me and there isn't enough time to search for anyone else to create false papers for your friend it would cost too much in our window of opportunity to escape has a time limit if we want to escape to the upper districts we would need to leave today through throughout the conversation nut's mind was a torrent of conflicting emotions he didn't know how to feel towards the situation that had been practically thrust into his face he felt elated that there was a chance that rangaku could escape the slums for a better life jealousy that it was this gin stranger that was providing her a means of Escape anger that rangiku's acceptance of The Proposal would mean that his friend would stop traveling with him as well the fact that he was getting angry with himself for being angry in the first place it was all very confusing to the young boy and he didn't know how to make sense of it all and it only made things worse when he noticed that rangiku's hesitant gaze was focused on him he could see the uncertainty and nervousness In Her Eyes the fact that she wanted his opinion on what to decide made him feel touched that she valued his input and slightly put off that she could potentially ruin her only chance of Happiness if he told her not to go and that thought alone made Naro sick to his stomach if he prevented his friend from finding happiness even if it was unintentional he would never be able to live with himself it's all up to you rangaku Chan whatever you decide to do it'll always support you he said with a smile despite the feeling that he was thrusting a rusted knife into his heart with each word that left his mouth the sensation only worsened once he saw rangiku's eyes take on a firm resolve a resolve that filled his being with Dread and anxiety I really appreciate your offer Jinan she began prompting narut to turn away so not to see rangaku leave with the stranger promised her an escape from District 64 but I am afraid I am going to have to decline not believing what he had just heard Naruto whipped back around to face rangaku who was smiling brightly at him jyn froze so surprised by the girls answer that the whiskered blond was able to briefly see the Silver ett's Eyes in all of their red Glory what did you actually think that I would just leave District 64 without you she continued shiding him playfully when we first met you promised me that you would always be there for me right well guess what that promise of yours goes both ways Buster but but rangu Chan stammered narut this could be your only chance to get out of District 64 are you sure that you really want to give it up Naruto San has a point said jyn deciding to add his own two cents the living conditions are only going to worsen for this District it would be best if you escaped as soon as possible I know replied rangaku but life in the upper districts just wouldn't be the same without my best friend I really appreciate your gesture Jinan but I am not going anywhere without Naruto [ __ ] either we both leave District 64 together or no one leaves at all flashback ends 333 of course I do I could never forget even if I wanted to answered Naruto relishing the Embrace he was sharing with rangaku as he recalled one of his favorite moments he always enjoyed their hugs he always felt at ease for some unexplainable reason that was the last time either of them had seen Jin ichimaru had left once rangaku made it perfectly clear that she wasn't going anywhere without Naruto and while Naruto was extremely touched that rangaku treasured their friendship to such a strong degree there were still times in which he wondered if she would have been better off going with the silvered like jyn had predicted life in District 64 began to drastically worsen jobs were becoming harder and harder to find let alone hold on to and crime rates had gone up within the district at first it was just robbery and random fights breaking out but soon there were more heinous crimes like Abduction rape and murder occurring with alarming frequency there were nights where Naruto went without sleep in order to make sure that no sick perver tried anything with rangaku sure it left him completely exhausted in the morning but his friend's safety was worth more than a few hours of sleep and now with the recent loss of his job things weren't looking well for the two blondes ah well isn't that sweet two Street rats bracing each other in the slums of District 64 sneered an arrogant male voice the blondes whipped their heads in the direction where they heard the voice and were met with a very unwelcome sight their standing behind them was a trio of police officers all of whom were learing dangerously at the duo although narut managed to keep a cool facade he was panicking like mad in his mind the leader of the trio had been the lead investigator in his raids had noticed that particular officer investigating the scene every time he stole from a store um can we help you sir Naruto asked politely hoping to somehow avoid any possible physical confrontations yeah you and your little friend can come with us quietly to the station snarked the officer that was to the left of his Commander the one on the right just nodded the smirk never leaving his face I am sorry but I don't understand what you're talking about are we being accused of something don't try and play innocent with us Brad we know that you responsible for a chain of robberies from several stores in the area throughout the past year and a half and since your little girlfriend didn't report your crimes and instead seemed to have profited from them I D say that she's your accomplice the commanding officer all but snarled it took all of nutk self-control not to panic the only sign of anxiety being the slight widening of his eyes those are some big accusations you were throwing around he said you three had better have substantial evidence to back them up the three policemen geod cruy at the boy words as if he was a part of some inside joke did y'all hear that Lads said the lead officer in between laughs the little bastard is asking for evidence of his crimes when he had finally gotten his laughter back under control he shot a particularly nasty look at the Young pair well how's this for undeniable evidence your last employer gave us a tip that he caught you with merchandise that had been reported stolen from a store a few weeks ago and how do you know that he's not lying to you guys because he just so happens to be an old friend of mine you little [ __ ] then why isn't he in trouble he was purposely withholding Vital Information how come he isn't being incarcerated as well rangaku couldn't stand being silent any longer watching as narut tried to defend the two of them because if I have to choose between showing leniency towards two homeless thieving Street rats or a taxpaying supervisor of a restaurant then it's quite obvious whose side I am going to take and here's a hint it's it's not yours the Commander's underlings erupted in another cruel bout of laughter which sent chills down both Naruto and rangiku's backs the policemen in District 64 had a nasty pension of being easily persuaded by outside forces and were known to be violent towards suspected criminals engaging in Acts of brutality which both Naruto and rangaku had observed several times already and another thing considering that ulot have managed to remain undetected for so long you two are going be locked up for a fairly long time continued the officer his subordinates slowly inching towards them Naruto's eyes slowly met rangaku for a brief instant before they about faced and made a run for it but they didn't get far as two more officers appeared in front of them with their katas drawn from their sheets backing away from the new enemies they glanced behind them and saw the first three officers approaching joining the other two and forming a circle around them oh I can't tell you how long I've waited to catch you too after all of the humiliation that we've endured I hope the both of you aren't afraid of the dark because it's going to be your new best friend but don't worry you too will get to share your suffering together Naruto's heart rate skyrocketed his eyes darting from officer to officer as his mind desperately tried to think of a way to escape yet even he knew that their situation was Bleak he and rangaku were up against five fully trained law enforcers all of whom knew of their past actions he was brought out of his panick thoughts when he felt something take hold of his hand chancing a glance he saw rangiku's quivering hand grasping his own she was terrified of what was going to happen next he could see it in her eyes narut wanted to reassure her to tell her that they would find a way to get out of their current debacle but he knew just how feudal it was staying silent he gave her hand a hard squeeze as they helplessly watched the officers approach closer I am so sorry rangaku Chan I tried my best to protect you but it just wasn't good enough he thought as the lead enforcer finally stopped a few feet in front of them Naruto pulled rangaku into an Embrace in a last ditch effort to Shield her from the brunt of the impending beating and clenched his eyes shut a tense silence permeated the area as he waited for the the first blow to land when suddenly bakudo hash one Sai bakudo hash four haawa five surprised Yelps sounded throughout the area followed swiftly by a flash of light so intense that Naruto could vaguely see it through his eyelids puzzled as to what was going on Naruto slowly cracked one of his eyes open a smidgen only for both of them to bolt open as he gasped at the S before him rangaku her curiosity getting the better of her looked to see what her friend was looking at only to gape at what she saw all five officers were on the ground struggling in vain to free themselves from a bright yellow glowing rope that was tied around their bodies and on top of that their arms which were crossed by behind their backs looked as if they were being held in place by some unseen force it was quite the sight to see one that the duo silently agreed was much better than the previous one but before they could even try to get away from the whole Fiasco two black blurs landed in front of them they were both tall young men in their mid to late 20s their backs facing them both of them were wearing black shush show with white Obi belts tied around their waists on their feet were straw sandals with white Tabby socks the only thing that really made the two stand apart was their hair color the one on the left had ash gray hair whilst the right ones was raven black you know began the blackhaired one I could have handled this on my own this is one of my division's duties after all the other man laughed that's true but I thought that you could do with a little help besides as a member of the ninth division it is my sworn duty to be ready in case of emergencies you know being in charge of security and everything yeah for all of goatee 13 and on top of that you oversee the development of new arts and culture and are in charge of that s news magazine my division however handles assassination jobs policing duties and maintaining the detention facilities and let's not forget your glorious Courier duties messenger boy o that's some tough talk coming from a newspaper reporter you want to start something fire spitter exclaimed the gray-haired man as he literally buted heads with his compatriot maybe I do what are you going to do about it tree hugger countered the ravenet who pushed back against the M's forehead with his own you arrogant Shinigami scum release me this instant before the two Shinigami could continue their bickering the hogtied leader of the policemen decided to make himself known silently agreeing to hold off their little argument until later the ravenet walked to the immobilized law enforcer until he was standing right in front of him his toes inches away from the Mon's notes the policeman gazed up at the sh Ami with a sneer not even attempting his contempt you Shinigami bastards who do you think you are doing trying to muscle in on my jurisdiction what I am doing you despicable corrupt piece of [ __ ] snarled the Shinigami is my job making sure that scum like you and your cronies are properly punished and considering your long list of crimes kamada i d say that every single one of you will be lucky enough to avoid getting the death sentence you can't do this to us where's your proof proof proof proof how about the countless instances in which you and your little followers have repeatedly gotten away with extortion blackmail accepting bribes making arrests under false pretenses rape and let's not forget about murder and don't even think about trying to deny your horrendous crimes you despicable son of a [ __ ] we've had an agent on the inside for the past few months Gathering all of the evidence that well need in order to make sure all of you never see the light of day suddenly several more black GB Shinigami arrived on the scene further shocking the young teenagers take these scumbags into custody immediately I want them processed in behind bars yesterday commanded the Shinigami with spiky black hair you bastards you [ __ ] eating rat bastards you want get away with this screeched kamada as he and his Squad were dragged away TCH they always say that said the gray-haired Shinigami acting as if he had seen such a situation plenty of times before well people do stupid shid went there desperate he then took notice of the two teenagers who had witnessed the entire debacle and Who had most likely been chased by kamada and his thugs I can't begin to apologize for what you've had to experience from that lot are the two of you okay do any of you nay whatever that he was about say next died in his throat the moment he turned to face them which gave narut the chance to finally get a proper look at one of their Rescuers the man with spiky black hair had an angular face with some subtle scarring on his right side and had charcoal black eyes on the left side of his shush show right around where his left pectoral would be was a strange emblem that Naruto had never seen before it was white diamond shaped patch with the short ends being bordered with small black triangles in its Center was the kanji character for the number two and had a black Basque flower underneath it the entire patch had a dark orange border surrounding it but what really stood out for Naruto was the Mon's shocked expression as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing W what the what the hell are you doing here you're not supposed to be here the Shinigami exclaimed suddenly shocking the youngsters out of their stuper immediately Naruto began to have a severe case of deja vu specifically when he was still alive and when he had first arrived in the soul Society hey you can't talk to him like that just who do you think you are exclaimed rangaku immediately coming to his defense her hold on his hand tightened as if she were expecting that their supposed savior would turn on them and they had to make a sudden Escape what no no no I mean you're not supposed to be here yet you're supposed to still be alive countered the ravenet pointing directly at the boy in question what is he talking about pondered Naruto I am supposed to still be alive what is he talking about was this guy watching over me when I was still a ninja whoa now hold up for a second what's gotten you so worked up IA interjected the second Shinigami his attention drawn to the commotion like his cohort he too had a white and black diamond patch on the left side of his shushu except his had the kanji character for the number nine as well as a white poppy flower and a 10A colored border yet just one glance at the Mon's face was all it took to captures Naruto's attention it was almost like looking in the mirror for the whiskered blonde with the exception of the green gray eyes semi blushed cheeks and the Sandy ash gray hair the adult standing before him looked almost almost exactly like him hell the man could possibly a distant cousin uncle lost older brother or maybe just maybe that for today I stop here see next video
