Chapter Start:

In a meeting room similar to the one meant for captains, twelve lieutenants could be seen assembled. In the front of the room was the lieutenant of squad one Chojiro Sasakibe an older man with white hair and a white styled mustache. He possessed a long face with a couple wrinkles denoting his age. The man exuded a very regal air about him and could be a snob at times. On his left and right were two lines forming a "U" shape containing the rest of the lieutenants of the various squads. The lieutenants were all conversing, having just finished a meeting when all of a sudden a member of the forth division ran into the room and yelled out.

"There had been a breach in the west gate!"

All of the lieutenant's heads shot up at that announcement with the exception of squad two and twelve. Renji Aburai was the first to step forward his red hair and facial tattoos making him have a dangerous look. "What do you mean there has been a breach in the west gate!?"

Most of the less seasoned lieutenants started to pale, the older more experienced ones however reacted accordingly.

"Have the captains been informed this development?" Chojiro spoke out with authority in his tone.

The Shinigami in question seemed to sink into himself upon having the question directed at him. After a while he gave a hesitant nod. "Hiroto and I were informed by a couple of Shinigami who had witnessed the event, the captains were closer so I'm assuming they already know.

Letting out a sigh of relief Chojiro said. "If the captains know then it would be best for us to end this meeting, and reconvene with our respective captains to receive further orders. "No one questioned the wisdom in his words, after all it was the correct path to take.

With those words the lieutenants slowly left the room and passed the nameless Shinigami. The only exception to this was the fourth division lieutenant Isane who had the man follow her.

Out in the hallway the youngest lieutenant in the Gotei 13 Naruto Shihoin walked between two people he had known in the academy. They were the lieutenants of squad five Momo Hinamori and squad three Lieutenant Izuru Kira.

Momo was a short girl possessing black hair that was tied back into a bun, she has brown eyes and a very pretty face that had gotten her many admirers. She possessed excellent skills in kido and decent sword skills.

Izuru was an average looking guy that possessed blue eyes and had his long blonde hair combed into three points, two of which were behind his head. He like Momo was an excellent kido user, however his sword skills left something to be desired. Both of them possessed the standard shinigami outfit and had there lieutenant bands on their left arms.

Looking at his fellow lieutenants, Naruto let out a sigh. "There are troubling times approaching us. It would be best for us to be weary of those around us, but not to forget who our allies are."

Kira smiled at the younger lieutenant and nodded, Momo however had a different reaction. "Oh don't get all moody little Ruto you're starting to sound like Shiro."

The twitching of his left eyebrow was the only sign that he was annoyed. "Yes well, I best be meeting up with Soifon to get my orders." With those words the lieutenant of squad two was gone in a shumpo.

The two captains looked at each other before following their friends lead and left using a shumpo.

In an ornate room sat a young women on a purple cushion. The women was petite, possessed gray eyes and black hair. Her hair is worn short with two long braids bound in white cloth, each ending in a large golden ring. She is wearing the standard sleeveless captain's haori with a yellow sash to tie it together. Under the haori she wore the outfit for the commander and chief of the stealth corps. It didn't cover the back or the shoulders and was pure black.

Taking a sip of tea that was sitting next to her the women silently waited for her second in command. Thankfully she didn't have to wait long for Naruto to walk into the room and walk towards her. Instead of taking a seat like most would, Naruto instead reclined himself until he was laying down next to his captain. After getting comfortable he nonchalantly started patting one of her braids back and forth. If Soifon had a problem with this she didn't acknowledge it. Finally after a couple of minutes of this Naruto spoke first.

"So what's the plan Captain?"

In response to her lieutenants question Soifon smirked. "The west wall has been breached and captain Ichimaru took care of the guardian of the gate, and thus forced that gate closed. Most are hopeful that will be the end of that and we will move on."

Nonchalantly knocking the braid he was playing with into the other one, the lieutenant blew a stray piece of hair away from his eyes. "I'm not asking what others think Soifon, I'm asking what you think."

Letting out an exhausted sigh Soifon leaned back and joined her lieutenant in laying on the ground, causing him to let out a pout at not being able to play with her hair. "Personally I think that everybody's being an idiot, if someone had the courage to attack one of the walls directly and win, well let's just say that I'm pretty sure they'll find a way in. Sadly everyone under the rank of a seated officer would be hopeless in the battle, and even then I'm pretty sure only someone with at least a lieutenant's level of power would be able to walk away after the battle of their own will."

Nodding at his captains words, Naruto let out a sigh. "If whoever these people are do in fact breach the Seireitei again would I be permitted to release my sword."

Soifon grimaced at the topic, she had not been a fan of the extra restrictions placed on her lieutenant in using his swords unleashed states. 'It is understandable considering the amount of people that went mad from its affects.' Still though she had asked the Head Captain that very question during the captains meeting earlier.

"You have been given tentative permission provided that you have an opportunity and only as a last resort."

Naruto nodded he could handle those conditions. "With your permission, Im going to set up a task force to be ready in case these Ryoka attempt to break in to the Seireitei again."

Without even looking in his direction Soifon said. "Granted, and lieutenant be careful."

Slowly picking himself up Naruto said. "Aren't I always Captain." With those words he was gone, no doubt to assemble his task force.

Soifon starred at the spot her lieutenant had been just moments before. 'Good because I don't think I could take losing you as well.'

Everyone watched as the blue orb impacted against the Seireitei before quickly splitting off into a group of smaller blue orbs. The sound of the explosion could be heard to all, and immediately squad eleven was sent out to find and attack the intruders.

Watching all of this with apathy was the lieutenant of squad two. With the barest twitches of his fingers a group of individuals appeared behind him. All of them were men that had worked under him personally and the perfect team for this mission. "Locate all of the Ryoka and I want a detailed report on their ability's. Should there be anybody with extensive knowledge in healing immediately report to me and I will deal with them personally." After all everybody knew that with a healer even the most mundane of people could defeat the most fearsome of foes. Take that away however and even the most extraordinary of foes could be taken down due to fatigue. It was simple logic and the reason that squad four barracks was one of the barracks closer to the center.

Starring at the direction all of his soldiers had disappeared to Naruto decided it wouldn't be a bad idea to follow at least one of those orbs.

Running through the streets with a determination not normally found on his face was Marechiyo Ōmaeda. The man had been given tentative acceptance into the task force organized by Lieutenant Shihoin based on his abilities. The man was the third seat of squad two and while even he would admit that his appearance didn't exactly inspire the Shinigami under him the same way that his captain and lieutenant did he still felt that he was skilled and had earned his position. The problem was that in all of his years of service to squad two his captain had never said anything positive about him nor had she given him any harder assignments then sorting through paperwork or low level hollow extermination missions. She had even given him the same daily operations as the ex-captain of squad twelve Kisuke Urahara a man that everyone knew she despised. Lieutenant Naruto however had spoken up for him and talked about his tactics in battle and how his abilities were at a lieutenant's level. It was time he showed his captain just how great he was and his lieutenant that his faith was not misplaced. That was why he did not hesitate when he saw his target.

Using a quick shumpo the third seat of squad two appeared behind one of the Ryoka a muscular Mexican teenager. His sword was barely an inch of away from his enemy before his opponent leaned in the other direction, narrowly avoiding the deadly strike.

Jumping away from the strike Chad mentally studied his opponent. The Shinigami in front of him wore the standard Shinigami uniform that looked to be barely covering his "husky" body. The purple neck guard and rings adorning his fingers showed a certain level of money, either the man had done very well for himself, or more likely judging by his appearance, he had been born into wealth. Still this Shinigami looked like a low-level one and no doubt would not be worth his time.

Transforming his right arm Chad aimed a punch at the vulnerable Shinigami only for his eyes to widen in surprise when instead of hitting his opponent his arm passed through the air harmlessly. A moment later, he felt pain in his upper back close to his right shoulder. Touching the injury with his left hand, he felt that it was a shallow cut, but a cut nonetheless. His opponent appeared across from him a smile clear on the man's face. His own face must have reflected his confusion because his opponent flicked his blade, removing some of what he knew to be his own blood off it.

"Just because I'm built for strength doesn't mean I'm not fast. I am in the second division and therefore should you underestimate me I promise it will be your last mistake."

Charging energy into his right arm Chad ran towards his opponent. 'This guy might be harder to beat then I thought. I hope the others are having an easier time.'

Standing on a rooftop Naruto could feel the battles raging around him. He could feel the third seat of squad eleven Ikkaku battling an opponent that judging by his spiritual pressure was really pushing the battle crazy Shinigami. Glancing in the direction behind him he silently felt out the rietsu of Marechiyo battling what almost felt like a hallow and yet it felt like a human. That particular spiritual pressure warranted investigation, thankfully though he had other matters to attend to. Directly in front of him he silently watched as what he was assuming was a Quincy dealt with a Shinigami. The girl seemed to mostly stay on the sidelines and only participated when the Shinigami attempted to attack her.

He watched the battle up until the point that he saw the Quincy pierce the Shinigami strait through his Saketsu and Hakusui effectively ending his career as a Shinigami. As the man fell, he was able to see the triumph in the Quincy's eyes.

"Well can't have that, can I?" With those words, Naruto disappeared with a shumpo to get closer to the Quincy.

"Wow Uryu" Orihime said as she ran towards her savior. "You're really strong."

Offering the bubbly girl a small smile Uryu shrugged his shoulders. "Beating somebody who is weak doesn't prove anything. Beating somebody who is strong however proves everything."

Just as he said those words, an explosion suddenly happened at the edge of the building causing Orihime to fall onto her backside and Uryu to lose his footing slightly.

Glaring in the direction the attack had come from judging by the burning blue flames licking at the building and the rising smoke Uryu mentally thought. 'What the hell was that?' Taking a glance at the prone ex-Shinigami, 'reinforcements or something else?"

"You know" A voice suddenly spoke loudly from the direction of the smoke. "I don't usually like to face small fries like you two, but today I think I'll make an exception."

As soon as they heard the last of his words, the smoke cleared out enough for them to make out the Shinigami in front of them. A child looking no older then twelve with spiky blonde and purple hair. The stormy grey eyes of the child stared back at Uryu and he briefly noticed the badge the boy wore, unfortunately, Orihime had gotten over her shock and had noticed something about their new opponent as well.

"OHHHHHH those whisker marks are so cute!"

His new foe and he shared a sweat drop at the girl's tact in such a situation. This would no doubt be a hard fought battle.

-X-

"Smash, Gegetsuburi."

This proclamation was followed by what looked like a giant spiked ball attached to a chain wielded by his opponent heading towards him.

Without a second to think Chad ducked down and let the ball of death pass over his head. He however was immediately put on edge when his opponent pulled backwards on the chain. Turning his head slightly he saw the ball coming at him once again. There was no time to think only time to react. Charging energy to his right arm Chad met the incoming ball head on.

"El Directo!"

The spiked metal ball was blasted away, without breaking his stride Chad quickly ran at the now defenseless Shinigami. Just as he was within a foot of the man, however the Shinigami disappeared from his spot and appeared from behind Chad. The chain of Gegetsuburi wrapped around Chad's body constricting his movements.

Seeing the predicament his opponent was in Marechiyo gave an arrogant smirk. "I'll admit you have some skill Ryoka but as a third seat of the Second division a guy like you has no chance of beating me."

As he was saying, this Gegetsuburi was coming back towards Chad at an alarming rate. Having built up swing from when Marechiyo had wrapped it around the man.

Not seeming fazed by his opponent, Chad offered the man a neutral expression. Gathering his strength Chad moved his arms apart until there was enough room for him to duck under the chains. Having just enough time to launch an 'El directo' at the approaching attack Chad saw his opponent have a baffled expression, right before the attack impacted against the Shinigami's face. This had two results, it gave Chad some much-needed breathing room and caused Marechiyo to take the force of his attack and his opponents attack directly. Therefore, it was understandable when the Shinigami fell on his back with a sickening crack and upon touching, a hand to his face discovered a steady trickle of blood from his nose.

Growling lowly Marechiyo gripped his Shikai tightly. "Don't think that just because you got a lucky shot in that this is over. This fight is far from finished." After saying that he threw the Shikai in the direction of his opponent once more.

-X-

Blue arrows approached his position, thanks to years of training however he was able to effortlessly avoid the attack and with a quick shumpo he appeared behind his opponent blade ready to strike at the Quincy's unguarded back. He was understandably shocked when he distantly heard the girl say something and a shield popped up to block his blade. Not letting that deter him, he placed his right foot on the shield and kicked off in the direction of the other Ryoka.

"I wonder who you will protect you or your ally? Hado number thirty three Sokatsui." While saying this he aimed his right hand at the girl and generating a blue flame fired the attack at her. Immediately after that, he aimed his left hand back at his other opponent. "Hado number thirty one Shakkaho." The red flames quickly materialized in his hand and fired at the Quincy.

Immediately after firing the twin attacks Naruto ran in his current direction. He had a decent idea of just what the girl would do.

For Orihime there was no thought of protecting herself. For starters, her spirits could not outrun the attack heading her way and they were already protecting Uryu. He would be have a higher chance of helping the others. Therefore, it was with a smile that she took the attack heading her way, using whatever energy she had left to add power to her shield blocking Uryu. Once she did that, her vision was filled with blue flames before all she saw was darkness.

Stopping in front of the badly burnt girl Naruto let out a sigh. "We may be enemies but I can respect you for what you did, had we met outside of battle I'm sure we would have gotten along."

Having said his piece Naruto carefully threw the girl over her shoulders, it would be good to have a subject for questioning. Turning to the Quincy Naruto smirked as the smoke cleared and Uryu could be seen an expression mixed between horror and righteous anger apparent on his face.

Hoping to end this before the girl on his shoulder became conscious and therefore felt the full brunt of her injury's Naruto addressed the Quincy. "I suggest we end this confrontation. Should you attack me I may just decide that you make a better prisoner than her and dispose of her before capturing you."

Uryu's expression was pained, the young man didn't give any response. His eyes simply starred piercingly at Naruto before ever so slowly he offered the barest of a nod. Taking that as grudging acceptance of the arrangement Naruto silently turned around ready to Shumpo away.

"If I notice one scratch on her I will kill you even if it takes the rest of my life."

Smirking to himself Naruto turned his head so half his face was facing the Quincy. "Don't worry, I promise you won't find a single misplaced hair on her." And with that the lieutenant of Squad two was gone, as was Orihime.

Uryu starred at the place that the two had been for a couple of minutes before slowly walking away. A tear slowly fell from his eyes before his face turned neutral.

"I'm sorry Orihime, I promise ill rescue you."

-X-

The blood dripping down his nose was an annoyance he could deal with. The bruised face while painful was manageable. He could not however deal with the opponent that refused to stay down. His opponent while in much better physical condition had used up far more energy than himself and judging by his heavy breathing was feeling it. He had been in battles where the circumstances was similar though the situation was reversed.

"Still though that just means I know exactly what to do."

Taking a deep breath Marechiyo once more swung Gegetsuburi at his opponent, unsurprisingly Chad dodged the attack and ran alongside the chain, his arm charging once more into an attack that Marechiyo knew he did not want to be on the receiving end of. That left him one option, an option he was willing to admit was not the best plan.

Releasing his hold on the chain or his Shikai Marechiyo aimed his two palms at his opponent. "Hado number four Byakurai."

The lightning shot out of his hand quickly and while not very powerful due to it being only a level four Kido it would still be able to distract his opponent long enough for him to get to his zanpakuto and land a decisive blow.

Not even breaking stride Chad charged more energy into his arm. Bringing back his arm Chad thrust it forward releasing all of the concentrated energy, completely breaking through the weak Kido spell and hitting directly against the wide-eyed officer.

The following explosion definitely alerted passing Shinigami and Chad spared the injured man a respectful nod before walking away. He had a mission after all but even he could admit that the man had been a good opponent.

In the squad two barracks the captain of squad, two could be seen elegantly sitting on a purple cushion. She slowly took a sip of her tea before gazing to her left at her recently returned lieutenant.

"He's going to be coming you know."

Smiling in a way that reminded her a little too much of another Shinigami Naruto shrugged his shoulders. "He has no right to see our prisoner or our third seat, after all the only thing he can argue is wanting to get intel, a stupid request considering that's our squad's specialty."

Soifon did not disagree with the statement and instead took a sip of her tea, carefully tracking the squad twelve captain and lieutenant heading there way.

"I suppose what's done is done in the end."

No sooner did she say those words then Mayuri Kurotsuchi strode inside the room, uninvited and unwanted. His lieutenant ever unemotional followed behind the man. Making sure to keep her feelings off her face Soifon silently appraised the man. The man in her own personal opinion looked like one of his own experiments gone wrong. Like most captains, he wore a white Haori with his division's number on the back however, that is where the normalness of this man ended. His face is painted entirely white with the inner portion of his face painted black with the exception of his nose. His eyes are a golden color and he constantly bares his teeth giving the appearance of him constantly smiling. Both his ears are seemingly replaced with stubbed golden cones.

Looking past the man Soifon focused her attention, at least as much as she was willing to give to the duo. The women Nemu could be called pretty she supposed with her slender and well-endowed body. Her black hair is pulled back into a long braid, with slightly parted bangs and she has dark green eyes.

The problem Soifon had was no matter how much Nemu pretended she was only an experiment, a toy created by the twelfth division. The division that Kisuke Urahara the man she hated more than anybody else had come from. Taking a glance at her lieutenant, Soifon allowed a small smile to form on her lips. 'And the division that fought the most to take you away from me.'

Calming herself from such thoughts, Soifon addressed the man who was looking impatiently at her.

"And just what are you doing here Mayuri."

The man's hands gripped his sword tightly, his knuckles turning even whiter than they already were. Just when it looked like he was ready to slice her in two, did he speak. "You know why I'm here, Soifon. I know your third seat battled the Ryoka and your lieutenant fought two of them and managed to capture one." The spite with which he said 'lieutenant' could clearly be heard, nobody reacted however to used to the occurrence.

Looking the man in the eye Soifon was secretly amused to see his eyes look away from her own for the briefest of moment. "While I will admit that what you have said is true, I fail to see the relevance of such a thing." His hand rose up as if to call her an idiot or whatever other derogatory thing the cocky scientist, he however never got the chance. "That's not to say that I don't know why you're here, as foolish as it is. You want the information Squad two has worked hard to get, something that I don't have to nor do I want to give. We have the better security, the better integrators and-."Giving the fuming Captain a smug glance. "We also have possibly the only Shinigami in the entire Soul Society capable of getting information out of anybody given enough time. So I see no reason in giving you anything Mayuri, now get out of my site."

The man's face turned an interesting shad of purple. Surprising considering how much makeup he wore. With a hateful glare at both her and her lieutenant, the man turned around and swept out of the office yelling at his lieutenant when she did not immediately follow behind him.

Turning away from the two annoyances Soifon turned once more to her now smirking lieutenant. With a sigh, the women stood up. "The head captain has given you permission to extract information from the prisoner."

Blinking at the abrupt change Naruto stood up and followed his Captain as they approached the prisons held in Squad two. His captain's face was passive though he could see the stress on her face. "Why the sudden change in my restrictions?"

Instead of answering Soifon instead walked down a couple more hallways and only when they were in front of the prisoner's room did she address her lieutenant. "With the defeat of several seated officers the head captain felt it would be best to get an accurate reading on our enemy's skills as well as their objective."

Naruto took it all in, before with a sigh he said, "Does this have anything to do with the execution scheduled for Rukia Kuchiki." The silence that answered his question was unnerving before with a shrug he opened the door leading into the prisoners room.

"Wait outside, I promise this won't take long."

Entering the room he saw the young women he had captured sitting on the bed, a frown on her face. Upon seeing him however her face turned into a smile. "Oh hey whiskers!"

Striding towards the girl Naruto silently unsheathed his sword while calling out its release.

"Illuminate those under the red moon, Tsukuyomi."

After saying, these words his zanpakuto transformed into a katana. The blade itself is the same size as his zanpakuto. The hilt of his Shikai is a midnight black color with a silver six-pointed star-shaped tsuba. The blade itself is the same as his normal zanpakuto with turning crimson.

Orihime looked fearfully at the blade, before she could react however, the Shinigami was in front of her and his blade had sliced a shallow cut into her cheek. Just as she felt a trickle of blood travel down her cheek and onto the blade did she see the blade let out a slight glow.

Closing her eyes, Orihime felt the world distort around her and only when she felt it stop did she open her eyes. Once she did however, she wished she did not, for instead of sitting on a cot she now found herself chained to a cross. Her entire body now white while all color seemed to be robbed from the world and the only thing that was not black or white was the red moon floating above her head.

Just as she was about to scream out for help, the Shinigami that she had seen moments before appeared in front of her. Around him, copies appeared as well, all of them wielding Tsukuyomi.

"I am truly sorry it has come to this."

Outside the room Soifon heard the girl suddenly let out a scream followed by what sounded like begging, this soon came to a stop. After a couple of seconds, she once more heard noise only this time it was the doorknob turning as her lieutenant walked out of the door. The two of them made eye contact before he gave a slight nod.

Returning the nod, the two of them walked in the direction of the first division barracks. It wasn't until they were just about to leave the second division gate did either speak.

"One of their members is a pure black cat with golden colored eyes. The cats name is Yoruichi."

The tightening of Soifon's fists were the only indication that she had heard him.

Chapter end.

Sorry about the super long wait, I really am having a hard time finding the time for writing. That being said I don't plan on stopping, and will keep writing no matter what. I however don't see my updates coming in any sooner and for that I am truly sorry, I know the pain of waiting for a story to update and feel bad about taking too long. That being said please do tell me what you think, I was planning on waiting on revealing his Shikai abilities and there is another ability it has, wonder if you guys can figure it out. His bankai won't be revealed for a little while though, but I promise it'll be worth the wait.
