[Wave Mission]

The mission to Wave wasn't as simple as Team 7 were led to believe. Not even close. Where they expected bandits to jump the old man they were protecting, they all got missing nin instead. Two of them, the Demon Brothers, were easily dispatched by Kakashi Hatake while Naruto only suffered a cut on his hand that was quickly taken care of. The group decided t continue on with the mission instead of turning back once Tazuna told them everything, and I mean everything. They all had their reasons for wanting to continue on: Naruto to protect the people of Wave from Gato, Sasuke to gain strength to kill his brother, Sakura because Sasuke stayed, and Kakashi for a secret order given to him. They all proceeded till they were confronted by Zabuza Momochi, the Demon of the Mist, and fought him. They got the better of the man and he was taken away by a Hunter nin, though Kakashi doubted that that nin was after a bounty of any kind. After about a week or so, Team 7, minus Naruto, were at the bridge to defend Tazuna from Zabuza's and that Hunter nin's attack. After a while of fighting, Naruto showed up after dealing with some thugs at Tsunami's house and helped out Sasuke, much to the Uchiha's disdain. They held the Hunter off and eventually, after Sasuke was used as a human pincushion, Naruto had used the power of the Kyuubi within him to defeat the Hunter nin. As this was going on, Kakashi saw this as the perfect opportunity to execute his secret mission. While Naruto was distracted with who the Hunter nin was after her mask broke, Kakashi used that time to throw a kunai with an explosive tag and it embedded right into the back of Naruto's skull, exploding only a few seconds later. The explosion also engulfed Haku as well and the two died in a ball of fire that rocked the entire bridge. The last thing they both saw before said explosion took their lives, was the smug look on Kakashi's face as he took their lives from them. Zabuza saw the whole thing and in his rage, tried to take Kakashi's head off, but the jounin dodged the swordsman's wild attack and suffered for it. Kakashi used his dogs to trap Zabuza and then shove his Lightning Blade into the mans chest. When he did so, Kakashi whispered to the man.

"You can see your whore and that demon in hell you son of a bitch."

Zabuza was seething with rage at those words and tried with the last of his strength to do something. Anything. But he was fading fast and had no chance of retaliation or even revenge for losing the one person in this world he cared for.

After Zabuza was killed, Gato and his men came to attack only to find that the whole town was there and ready to fight to the death for their home. Kakashi took advantage of the ensuing chaos and got Sasuke off of the bridge and to safety. He knew that a big reward would be tremendous when he returned from a successful mission from the civilian and shinobi councils. Now that the demon was dead, the Leaf would prosper now and forever.

"I avenged you sensei."
Kakashi said to himself as he watched the battle take place, feigning chakra exhaustion to sell it all.

The battle on the bridge was bloody and fierce with many of the citizens dying at the hands of Gato's men, but the tide changed when Inari was able to fire an arrow and embed it right between the business tycoons eye's, killing him instantly. The thugs, seeing that their meal ticket was pretty much gone now, and the people of Wave got their second wind now, they retreated and left Wave forever. Once the fighting ended, the people started to celebrate their victory, but Inari was the first to notice the absence of a certain blond that made this all possible. When he asked Kakashi where Naruto was, the silver haired jounin told him that the demon lost control of his own power and he had no choice but to kill him. It was a lie that Inari couldn't believe, nor could the people of Wave. The shock of this all caused the people to run the Konoha ninja out of their country forever, claiming that the blond that saved their village was no demon at all.

As Kakashi carried Sasuke on his back, Sakura had to ask her sensei just what happened. What did he mean when he said Naruto lost control, and why did he call Naruto a demon? She was told that Naruto was a demon but was never really given a proper reason as to why exactly. Her own parents would never tell her why she should hate Naruto, so she just didn't and simply found him to be himself, a knuckleheaded and unpredictable ninja. Kakashi explained to her that Naruto was the holder of the Kyuubi no Kitsune, the exact same fox that killed hundreds of innocence 12 years ago. After his explanation, he expected Sakura to be overjoyed to hear that the demon was gone and that Konoha was safe again, but instead, he got the opposite. Sakura yelled at him for assuming that Naruto was ever like that. Contrary to popular belief, Sakura never hated Naruto. She didn't love him either. She saw him as an annoying, hyperactive knucklehead that was very unpredictable, but she also saw him as a very good person with a very good heart. He may have been an annoyance to her, but she would see his annoyance as a breath of fresh air compared to what she would usually see from Sasuke. Ever since his clan was killed by his brother, Sakura's mother told her, well more like forced her, to try and get together with the last Uchiha. She didn't really want to at first and the constant ignoring and insulting from the emo teen was just pissing her off more and more with each passing day she was around him.

This sudden attitude change in Sakura was entirely new to the one eyed jounin. He thought that she would be all for this, but instead, she was actually angry that Naruto was killed. This could be very bad for the plans of the council if she suddenly grew a spine and decided to rat them all out to the Hokage. Kakashi would have to silence her, even though he knew her mother, Mebuki, would be furious at this. Without wanting to take the risk, Kakashi quickly got behind Sakura and snapped her neck like a twig. The last thing she had heard from her apparent 'sensei' were the words, "Your should have hated the demon like the rest of us. Now join him yourself."

This image would stay in her mind until the very life in her body faded away and she would join her wrongly killed teammate in the afterlife. If she ever did see him there, she would only say two words to him:

"I'm sorry."

[Unknown location]

"Now that, was the final strike!"
A voice boomed within the large room.
"I've had just about enough of those humans and their obsession with power! If they want to see real power, then I'll show them first hand!"

Before the figure could do anything, another figure grabbed at his shoulder gently and spoke to him in a calm tone.
"Calm yourself brother. As much as I agree with you on this matter, this is not the way."
The voice seemed to have the intended effect on his brother as the first figure sighed in frustration and relented.
"Now then. We have four souls that have been wronged in many ways by many people, and as much as I would love to send them back to their world to write the wrongs of those who have done them injustice, I am not allowed to do so."

"WHAT!?"
The second figure shouted out in anger and disgust.
"Why not!?"

The first figure took his hand off his brothers shoulder and walked away for a bit, his brother following him. They walked for a short while before standing in front of another figure with a skull for a face and wearing a dark cloak.
"Brother."
The first figure started towards the third.
"I take it that you already have them now?"

"Yes brother."
The third figure started, only to sigh in a defeated tone.
"Unfortunately, one of them, Zabuza Momochi, has made many sins and done many evils in the world. I cannot let him be apart of your plan. I'm sorry brother."

"It is alright Shinigami."
The first said to the now named Shinigami and gave another sigh.
"Yami."

The second figure, now named Yami, stepped forward.
"Yes brother?"

"Zabuza Momochi may have done many terrible things and wouldn't be seen as a soul worth forgiveness, but allow his soul to suffer as least as possible. Understood?"

Yami hesitantly nodded to his brother.
"I will try."

The first figure nodded to Yami and continued.
"In time, they will be needed again, though I sense another grave soul will be betrayed soon after."
The figure sighed as he could see what was going on right at this moment, and the sight made him sad indeed.

[Konohagakure]

It had been more than a few days ever since the Wave mission went south for Team 7. When news broke upon Kakashi's return, the entirety of Konoha, aside from a few, were up in arms in celebration fro the demon brats death. They all threw a celebration for the death of the demon and marked this day as a holiday for all of Konoha. Of course the Hokage was furious at this and personally broke up the entire thing in his own rage. Hiruzen also wanted every single detail from Kakashi about what happened and how the mission went south so damn fast that two of his genin were now dead. Kakashi, keeping to the lie and now adding a new one to it involving Sakura, had explained that Naruto had lost control of the demon inside of him and went on a killing spree. He killed the Hunter nin and Zabuza before killing Sakura as well, and that the only way to stop him was to kill him with a Lightning Blade through his chest. It would be a decision that he would regret for the rest of his life, at least for the rest of this meeting that is. Hiruzen wasn't buying it but dismissed the jounin and disbanded Team 7 for now.

Mebuki Haruno wasn't fairing too well with the news of her daughters death at the hands of that demon. She would wish for her daughter to marry the Uchiha for his wealth and power to make their family stronger, but now that she was gone, that plan was out the window. You would think a mother being told of her daughters death would be broken up by all of this, but not Mebuki. She would mourn her daughter for a short while before coming up with another plan to attain the Uchiha wealth for herself. Mother of the year right here.

But the one that took it all the hardest was Hinata Hyuuga. Her not so secret crush on the blond was known by everyone, and it came as no surprise when she was broken up by news of his death. She wanted so badly to be with him, and now he was gone before she could ever tell him her real feelings toward him. To her, the one light in her bleak and miserable life had been extinguished and she was nothing more than a broken shell of what she formally was before. Hiashi and the Hyuuga elders saw this as a weakness and wanted to purge that weakness from her completely. The training she had received was nothing short of brutal beatings and torture sessions. Every day she would be put through spars with her father and then her little sister in the hopes of breaking her crush and everything else he stood for in her heart. The elders were considering giving her the Caged Bird Seal, but Hiashi decided against it in the hopes that she would change in time. The Branch family saw this as their opportunity to prove that they were strong and had set up a match between Neji and Hinata. The rules were simple, If Neji wins, then the Branch family would have more say on Hyuuga affairs. If Hinata wins, then that wouldn't happen and she would be ordered to kill Neji. The same order would come from Neji should he win as well. The fight went as expected, with Neji not even bothering to hold back as he was relentless with how he beat Hinata into the ground, even after she forfeited earlier on. No one bothered to help Hinata in any way, shape or form. They all watched her with disdain and hatred for how weak she was and how her love for the demon was a cancer that would infect the Hyuuga family. Without another moments hesitation, Hiashi stopped Neji's onslaught and looked down to his eldest daughters broken and battered form in pure disappointment.

"You should be ashamed of your weakness."
Hiashi said to her as she shed a tear at his words and the looks of those she would have called family, but never had.
"I had high hopes for you Hinata, but now, the future of the Hyuuga now goes to your sister."
At the sound of that, Hanabi walked over to her older sisters downed form with a smug smirk on her face.
"Enjoy the afterlife my failure of a daughter."

And with that, Hiashi stuck her with a Juuken strike straight to her heart, killing her almost instantly. The last thing that Hinata could possibly whisper out at that moment was one word.

"Naruto-kun."

And that was the day that Hinata Hyuuga was betrayed by her own family.

[Unknown location again]

The first figure sighed as Shinigami had just received a new soul that was indeed betrayed just as his brother had foretold. He looked to him and could see the sadness within those pure white eyes.

"That was the last straw brothers."
The figure told both Yami and Shinigami as the soul of Hinata Hyuuga came to them as well.
"Now, we must do what must be done."

Both Yami and Shinigami nodded as they prepared the ritual. It would take them awhile now, but once they were done, these four would bring about change to the world of shinobi. They would be the spark to set about a fire to burn away the corruption of the old world, and from those ashes, rise anew like the great phoenix of old. The boy who has lived in fear for his own life as the Kyuubi jailer, the girl branded a monster for her bloodline by her own people, the girl forced into things by an uncaring mother that never cared for her, and a girl who was broken completely by her own clan. These four would bring about that change, they just first needed to live in a different world first.

The next chapter and possibly the next two will mainly be in the Bleach universe. I still haven't decided on just which arrancars will they be, but I'll eventually come up with something.

Hope ya'll enjoyed this first chapter. Just FYI, there will be some supreme bashing in this fic, so enjoy.

See ya later. Bye-bye.
