Yo everyone,
this is a crossover between Bleach and Naruto, thought it's mostly naruto with a bit of bleach influence. This fic will be a mix of a few things a wanted to lay down on paper for a while now, that includes fem naruto, neglected naruto, and naruto with mugetsu sealed inside her, there will also be an aspect of sacrifice, but that will be for later in the story.
Also, I created a community a few days ago that focuses on the darker side of bleach. There are like, no stories at the moment, but yeah, check it out. Also, if you want to join the staff (I'll check out your demand, but I don't garranty you'll be taken, I can't take everyone and anyone, so it's better if you've written one or more good fics, or have ,like ,really good taste according to me, which I can see by checking your favorite stories) or suggest things, don't hesitate and PM me, that would be really cool.
And, don't worry, I didn't forget my other story, and it will come out next week normally. I just want to write something else right now, but 'A sealed legend' will still be regularly updated.
On to the story
Enjoy !

LAS NOCHES PROLOGUE
(General POV)
"Mugetsu"
A wall of black descended upon the lands, engulfing everything and anything standing in its path.
"A mere human couldn't possibly surpass ME ! That's ludicr-"
Pitch black reiatsu engulfed Aizen as he raged, ending his speech.
As quickly as it had appeared, the wall of black reiatsu disapeared... leaving nothing but ravaged landscapes behind.
As the captains and Ichigos friends approched the fight scene, they spotted him standing , ten feets away from them.
"Ichigo, are you hu-"
Orohime started, but was interrupted by Kyoraku, who was leading the Gotei until old Yammaji recovered.
"Where's Aizen, Ichigo"
"Dead"
a deep barritone voice replied, that didn't sound like Ichigo's voice at all.
"Ma ma, kurosaki-san, are you sure..."
asked hat and clogs, who was middway between his serious and chearry mood.
"I had planned to seal him away. He is immortal due to the hogyoku. By the way, how come you didn't revert back to you'r original form yet ?"
"Yes, you would have needed to seal him away after I severely weekened him. But that's if I hadn't used the full power of the final getsuga tenshou. I couldn't let him live...
but the price was higher... that answers both your questions I believe"
"What do you mean the price was higher Ichigo ?"
Rukia asked
Ichigo merely looked at Urahara, who he knew had started to comprehend what was going on.
"You'll ask Urahara later. But there are more important matters to discuss right now."
"What does he mean Urahara-san"
Orohime asked
"Well..."
Kisuke started, his voice heavy with grief.
"Don't, there is no time for that Kisuke. I don't know how long I will hold... not longer than a few minutes."
"Hey Ich-ig-o, what tcha mean ?"
Shinji asked but was interrupted by Ishin.
"No Ichigo...
you didn't...
you...
how could you..."
Ishin croaked, his voice heavy with emotion.
"Someone had to do it"
"But..."
"Shut up and listen all of you..."
"...First off all...
thank you, all of you...
I would have never come that fare if it weren't for all of the people present here right now. Dad, keep them safe for me...
protect Yuzu and Karin...
and be a bit more responsible please...
they will definitely need you. Ishida, Chad, Orohime, Rukia, Renji, Keigo, Mizuiro, Tatsuki... thank you for being my friends. The rest of you..."
he looked at the captains and other shinigami present
"... do your job, and do it well...
keep the world safe. Urahara, and Rukia...
it isn't your fault. I made my own decisions, and you merely helped me, don't blame yourself for things that couldn't have gone differently...
like the proverbe says, 'shit happens'. Finally, to all of you...
do not grief me.
Abandon your fear. Look forward. Move forward and never stop. You'll age if you pull back. You'll die if you hesitate.
Live by those words, move forwards, live on, move on...
and never stop...
not for me, not for anyone."
his bandaged body started do disintegrate, starting with his feets.
"Ichigo"
Orohime stuttered, her voice wavering
Ichigo looked at her and replied
"Looks like I'll be joining Ulquiorra sooner than expected..." *
"...Just know that I love you, all of you. And that I have no regrets... Death is but a small price to pay..."
'Ichigo...'
they all thought, their hearts wavering.
"May we meet again..."
just his head remained now
"Sayonnara"
and with that said, what remained of him turned to dust and disapeared, dispersing in the wind.
"ICHIGOOOOO"
Orohime cried out. The others stayed silent, grief taking its tool upon them.
Finally, Kyoraku spoke.
"Kisuke... Ishin, you two have a lot of explaining to do."
All the heads turned towards them... expectantly.
(With Ichigo)
Ichigo was drifting in the void.
"So that is what death looks like"
He could see them now...
the worlds...
they were actually far more than the few ones he knew...
pirate worlds... ninja worlds... magic worlds...
so many worlds... to many to count...
He would be drifting like this for all eternity he had the feeling. So he had time to think...
he could leave his world happy...
they were safe... there were no important threats anymore...
he had done his part... he had saved them...
he could leave them in peace.
... he thought about Shiro and Ossan...
I'm still not in peace with them...
what could I do to remember them... to remember me...
what would describe the three of us...
because I know I'm not Kurosaki Ichigo anymore...
no... I'm far more than that...
I'm me... I'm...
MUGETSU...
as he pronounced his new name, Shiro's and Ossan's knowledge rushed into him...
his quincy side... Yhwah... everything...
so there is still someone out there... but they will manadge... I did everything I could... they will manadge... for they are strong...
So that is my base form... I suppose that is fitting... the black hair reminds me of Ossan... I can still awake shikai, bankai and horn of salvation thought.
He looked back at the different worlds...
there was one that intriged him... a ninja world... elemental nations... interesting...
he saw a ninja village named Konoha... a giant red foxe was attacking it... an old man sealed it inside three of four baby children...
As he looked, he felt a pull, a pull towards the baby that didn't contain a part of the fox.
His surroundings blurred as he was pulled inside the baby... very much like the fox had been a few minutes prior.
As he was pulled, the history of the world was ingraved in him... from the very beginning... the Otsutsuki... Jubi... the great ninja wars... Konoha... the fourth hokage... Kyubi, or should he say kurama... naruto... naruto...
Everything turned black.
(With Urahara)
"Kisuke... Ishin, you two have a lot of explaining to do."
All the heads turned towards them... expectantly.
... "Well..."
Urahara started saddly
"... you heard him didn't you..."
everyone present nodded
"... so what higher price can exist than sacrificing your powers..."
"Your Soul, your soul..."
Ishida responded, chocking on the words.
Realisation dawned upon them.
"I'll take over Kisuke, if there is a thing I know more about than you, it's this one."
Kisuke hummed in silent agreement.
"The final getsuga tenshou... is a sacrificial technique. I achieved it... but have never used it. Nontherless, after discussing with Engetsu, I learned all there is to know about it. There are three stages... that the wielder can activate depending on the power and potential he posesses... I myself can only activate stage one... The first stage, will keep the wielder in a state of extreme exhaustion for about a year... the second stage... the one I thought Ichigo would use... will sacrifice the powers of the wielder... the sacrifice is much greater... but it should be noted that the power the second stage posesses is a hundred times greater than the first stage... and finally... the last stage... requires the sacrifice of the users soul... it is the ultimate price... and through history... Ichigo is the first to achieve it... and use it... " he chocked out a sob "... and the power it posesses... as you have seen... can shatter the worlds... that was only prevented... because Ichigo used the entirety of the power he posessed to shatter the indestructable hogyoku, and Aizen along with it." Ishin finished in a whisper, retaining sobs.
Everyone looked at the ground, conscious that they had just witnessed... the notion of true sacrifice...
(With Minato)
Minato was looking at his four children that were still on the sacrificial autel, and at the body of the Third lying on the ground, with a sad smile.
"Lord Fourth"
a jonin broke him out of his thoughts.
"Yes, bring the children to the hospital, and... take good care of the sandaime's body."
He ordered.
"One more thing... how is my wife doing ?"
he asked genuin worry evident in his tone.
"She is still recovering... but she will be fine Hokage-sama"
Minato let out a relieved sigh... At least something was going well today.
"Send notifications to all ninja to take care of the village and villagers. I am to be informed immediately if something grave happens. You'r dismissed."
"Hay"
As the jonin shunshined away, letting nothing but a swirl of leaves behind, Minato allowed himself to think of what had just occured... and would probably change the village for all eternity.
Flash-back
"SHIKI FUJIN"
Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was as well the sandaime hokage, yelled.
The fox growled in rage and tried to target the children before he was doomed... but it was to late for him.
As the Kyubi no kitsune was sealed... Hiruzen fell to one knee... that was the moment Minato was finally able to break the barrier that separated the sandaime and his children from the outside world.
"Hiruzen"
"Minato..."
the third coughed up blood
"... I sealed them inside of Nawaki, Natsumi and Menma... three tails each... that will make it easier for them to control..."
"What about Naruko"
"She won't be a jinchuriki" he coughed more blood
"I-I'm happy this is the way I died... protecting the village... the will of fire..."
"HIRUZEENNNNNNN"
but nobody responded to the yellow flash of konoha... the still warm body of the third laid in his arms, the now lifeless eyes looking at him without seeing him. Minato closed the thirds eyes biting back a sob... he was a ninja, the hokage what's more, he had to be strong... those eyes he closed... he realised... he still had the impression all of this was a bad nightmare... that he would wake up in his bed with kushina at his side... those eyes closed themselves for the last time... and would never oppen themselves again. But that was the life of the shinobi... he should know... but still... he couldn't bear it... his grief filled crie filled the air. Konoha had suffered a great loss today.
The Shinigami was observing the scene with interest, invisible to the eye... curious to know what would happen next...
Then there was a blur... a pitch of darkness shot down from the sky at amazing speeds and... was absorbed by the baby named Naruko...
Nobody saw this... the blur being invisible to the eye... except the Shinigami.
'What is this...'
he asked himself as the blur shot down from the sky
'...Oh, I see... I would have never thought I would meet a colleague here...'
the blur was absorbed by the girl
'... well this certainly will be interesting to watch.'
he mused
'... Who would have thought a counterpart from another dimension would come to my world... how is this even possible... Oh... so he did it... he achieved it... he must have been a prodigy... a shame... but I won't complain... this just makes things all the more interesting to watch. But still... this girl... If she was choosen to become his wielder, then... she will live it... a life... of true sacrifice... I wonder... will she be able to use it... how will she live, how will she die. Only the future will tell.'
he concluded with a satisfied smirk... and disapeared into nothingness without a word.
End Flash-back
Minato let himself slide down against a rock.
'Why...why the fuck was this happening to him...'
damn was he tirred... he closed his eyes and let the darkness take over him...
(Time Skip : Three years in both Bleach and Naruto world)
(Wandenreich)
It had been three years since Ichigo's death. Due to Ichigo's death, his plans had been crossed, he wouldn't be able to take over Soul Society now, what was the point if he couldn't absorbe Ichigo...
what was the point. Well shit. There was only one thing to do now...
sit back and wait... for all eternity probably... unless...
there was another perfect hybrid across the street, and there wasn't one, so yeah... for all eternity probably...
(Soul Society)
It had been three years now...
three years since he had died. Today was the comemmoration day...
they had all goten over their grief... but it was painful nontherless. Ichigo Kurosaki...
the Seireitei had erected him a monument on the ground where the battle had taken place... there was nothing in it... no body, no ashes... nothing... they had nothing left of him... if it wasn't for a few personnal belongings he still had in his room in Karakura. But he wasn't forgotten...
once a year the whole Gotei thirteen held a commemoration day in his honour. They were a lot who came and visited the monument...
but they made place for who they knew where the dead man's friends and family... his name was written down in the history books... and his achievements went from ear to ear... just some old geezers from the central 46 wanted to make him disapear from history... how could the Seireitei admit that they had relayed so much on a mere substitute they said... but luckily they were ignored...
and the tales of his great deads spred everywhere. And so...
a legend... was born.
