Disclaimer: I dont own Naruto

Not a bleach crossover all I'm doing is importing the idea of the zanpakuto.

Ame is not Tenten's last name, since she doesnt have one, but it is her most commonly used one as seen on Wikipedia so I'll be using it for this story.

This story is about Naruto, Tenten, and Haku(who is a girl), so I'll mostly be focusing on them. Just so you know, I really don't like Itachi, Shikamaru, Kakashi, Sasuke, or Kiba, so don't be suprised if they get bashed.

This is a story about love, hate, some comedy and a shit load of action. It will not have yaoi, super or semidark Narutos, freindly Sasukes, crappy OCs, major crossovers, or characters who suddenly become super smart or confident, and just because this story is rated M, don't expect lemons or anything like that in the first chapters. This story will include character development, some few OCs, swearing, and mildly perverted humour, so watch out.

A good story takes time to tell and even though I am not the best writer, far from it, I still am writing this according to how I think a Naruto fic should be done. I've done a lot of work and reviewing, and I think I'm ready to write something good.

Rewrite-Hello again, this is Heero and this chapter is the beggining of my new revamped Descending Heaven. I realized more than a year after I had started to write it, that I wasn't liking the direction the story was taking, it was not up to the standard of what I wanted it to be. The chapters were short and choppy, so like many other writers who have had this problem, I decided to rewrite it. I've condenced some chapters, lengthened others, and added in a bunch of new content to hopefully make this story flow better. Its taken me most of the summer, more time than I would've liked, but I'm pretty proud of the result. The only thing that hasn't changed is this first chapter. Why? Because this is where it all started, and like Gurren Lagann, even if the intro doesn't exactly follow the storyline, it sets up the feel for the following chapters.

Read and Review, Heero-sama out.

Introduction Chapter--Hitsuzen

"We shall not cease our exploration and at the end of our exploring, will be to arrive where we started
and know it for the first time"
-T.S. Eliot

The world is infintely large, full of a myriad of wonders and, yet to those ignorant of it, the world is extremelly small. What one perceives with his sense of touch, smell, sight, hearing, and taste. Their worlds are limited to that small space. In that way, destiny is brought into the lives of men. If a man believes the only thing he will amount to is a poor farmer like his father and grandfather before him, then he most likely will end up a farmer. If one decides his destiny is decided, then it most likely is, and if a person believes his destiny is what he makes of it, then he is most likely right.

This is the story of a man yet to realize his destiny. The story about a boy growing into a man. This is the story of three unlikly ninja, teammates, lovers. But most of all this story is about Hitsuzen.

Ame Tenten's parents were claimed by the nine tails on the first day of it's attack. Utterly and hopelessly outmatched by the terrifying nine tailed demon fox, the two greatest weapon smiths, and weapon ninjas, ever to reside in the land of fire died protecting their comrades, their village,and their beautiful daughter, who was just turning one. Soon afterwards, the fourth Hokage gave up his life to seal the nine tails forever, in the naval of a new born child. Before he died he christened the small blond boy Uzumaki Naruto. He passed his will of fire to the infant, positive that the boy would be praised as a hero, that this baby would become the greatest Hokage ever.

Six years passed and both Tenten and Naruto lived on their own, neither taken in by Konoha's orphanage, crammed to the rim as it was by orphans from the Kyuubi attack. By a stroke of luck or maybe fate, the two rambuncious kids lived in the same apartment complex, and the two orphans soon became fast friends, their bond strengthened by their mutual lonliness.

Whenever the landlord or one of the tenants would hassle Naruto, which was fairly often, his "big sister Tenten" would chase off the offenders, usually with a mace, a sword, or one of her other many weapons. Whenever this happened Tenten usually wondered why Naruto got in so much trouble with everyone, but she didn't want to bring up any painful memories so she never asked and it didn't seem to the young weapon's mistress that Naruto knew the reason for it anyway.

The two of them trained together after their classes were done, and they grew to be very close. And as his senpai, who was one year ahead and already a hot shot(literally) in the acadamy, Tenten would show Naruto how to throw a kunai or make a bunshin. Unfortunatly, Naruto was never very good at either, still he had found family with Iruka and Tenten and that was enough.

--time skip to after land of waves arc--

The day after the return from the wave, Naruto and Tenten were in their usual training ground by a stretch of the river that ran through Konoha. Actually, Tenten was waiting around for Naruto and Naruto was swinging around a huge eight foot metal zanbatou that he had gotten from a freind in the land of waves.

Ok kit, it's the moment of truth. Smear your blood on the blade of the sword. Then yell "I take the sword of justice." Flourish it around a bit, then do that funny dance I taught you. The kyuubi was making his cage a little more presentable. He swept the floor, put up a window on the cage wall, and hid all his dirty magazines under his couch. If a new part of Naruto's soul was coming here he wanted the place to be presentable. He was the demon lord of hell and he'd be damned before he was looked down upon.

You can't be serious. Of course I am kit, this is all completely nessecary to convert this dull, lifeless sword into your own personal dull toothpick sized weapon. Think of this sword as a kind of vessel. The outer shape and abilities are unique to the user who bonded with that sword, but the sword itself is just a recepticle to materialize your soul on the physical plane.

"Are you sure there's no catch?" Naruto asked skeptically.

"Of course not kit, you won't have to pay a thing, besides weren't you grumbling about how you wanted to be stronger than that stupid Uchiha?" The Kyuubi responded.

"Ya, but if its so easy to do this, why didn't Zabuza ever make this into his own zanpakuto?" Naruto asked.

"Well, thats hard to say..."

To say the least, Naruto was more than a little confused. Still, it couldn't hurt that much, except for... well his pride. The kyuubi container imitated Jiraya's introduction dance(the one he did when he first met Naruto), spun around three times all while holding Zanbunza's huge sword, and planted the zanbato's blade a foot into the earth. Naruto went through ten hand signs, bit his thumb, and smeared the blood onto Zabunza's headchopper cleaver.

"I take the sword of justice" Inside, the Kyubbi was doubled over with laughter. The kit really is an idiot, following my instructions like a fool, the Kyuubi thought.

Tenten sweatdropped as she watched Naruto basically make an idiot out of himself, but changed her mind as she watched Naruto effortlessly pluck the massive blade from the ground with one hand.

A massive wave of light shrouded the zanbatou. When it disappeared, the sword that remained did not even resemble Zabuza's.

The sword he now held in his hand, barely resembled the giant metal cleaver he had a second ago, for one thing, it a lot smaller. The sword now resembled an elegant katana. It's blade was a pale silver with a white/bluish tempering on the sharp side. It had a black hilt and pommel, and had the standard katana crossweaving in orange. The guard was the standard square guard made out of a strange goldish metal(the kind zanpakutos guards in bleach are made out of) with one spiral in the upper right hand corner of the guard and a hole of the same size oppisite that and the sheath was also an orange bordering on red.

Tenten asked "Sugoi! Naruto-kun, you did it, but... was all that dancing completely neccesary?"

Inside the kid's, the Kyuubi snickered evilly. Tell her it is kit. Although, we wouldn't want a big bad demon embaressing you in front of your sexy little vixen now would we. In a nearbye tree, a feminine ninja with a white mask watched as the blond ninja yelled

"Hey! don't call her that, Tenten-chan is the nicest, prettiest, nicest girl I know." Naruto yelled mentally, defending his longtime freind.

So you do think she's pretty, hmmm I wonder.The Kyuubi mused.

"HEY! You tricked me. I had to trail Jiraya for three days before he did that dance and it took me two more to get it just right." Naruto yelled this time out loud, changing the subject as he blushed "and it wasn't even neccesary!"

Too bad kit just goes to show you not to trust a fox. The kyuubi started to maniaclly laugh until Naruto threatened to mentally shrink the cage, being as cramped as it was the Kyuubi didn't want to take any chances.

Inside Naruto, the Kyuubi was rattling the bars to his cage, in vain, Soon kit, your zanpakuto's spirit will awaken and your future will unfold. I must say I'm a little sorry I won't be around to see it. Still, I'm a little proud kit, this was none of my doing, all of this... this power is all you.

Hidden carefully inside the branches of a nearbye tree, a feminine, white masked, hunterninja crouched silently, watching as the blond ninja jumped up and down, yelling loudly, apparently having a onesided argument with himself, and losing. Laughing at the blond genin's silly antics, she whispered to herself,

"Naruto-sama."

--

The legacy of the Fourth a young man radiant as the sun, an orphaned kunoichi, driven to be the best, an icy hunter nin, whose bloodline is as mysterious as her lineage. Three orphans destined to meet on the Bridge connecting the two worlds, bound together for eternity.

There is a meaning, a purpose behind these events. It can be the smallest of things, the most trivial of circumstances, it may never be recorded, nor even remembered, after all a bond of fate never disappears once tied.

Hitsuzen, as noted by the Kodansha Japanese desk dictionary, second edition, is not fate. Fate implys that we have no choice in our destinies, we are merely puppets, being strung along our entire times with no say in the matter.

Hitsuzen is an unavoidable action or outcome in which other outcomes are impossible because without it the events linking to it would not occur. Nothing different could have been otherwise because then that would entail different circumstances. A butterfly's wings flap, and a hurricane appears halfway across the world. An unbroken series of connections follows any person's life, one's decisions always has a later affect on them.

Nomatter how unimportant the meaning... How insignificant the decision... How small the initial outcome...

Therefore all decisions and actions are related, and there can be no coincidence, only hitsuzen.

The way before these three is wide, complex, converging, splitting, into a myriad of destinies. Rather than being led down a path, they choose their own way.

This is the story of a man who makes his own destiny.

Hows that for a confusing introduction.

Read Review etc.

This is not a bleach crossover. I just like the idea of the zanpakutos and I'm not giving Naruto ichigo or anyone elses zanpakuto so no Zangetsu or anything.

If you have a suggestion for Naruto or Tenten's shikai and bankai or spirit then please contact me and if I like it I'll put it in, please try to be original, at the very least not from bleach. Other bankai and shikai and OCs would be cool too. I'll take plot ideas and any other suggestions too, just Pm or review and I'll be there. Also if someone would like to beta that would be cool, prefferably someone with a ton of patience and good grammer, and spellcheck on their computer (I don't have any of these). He or she would also have to be someone who gets the chapter back to me pretty quick, I'd say a couple days, max a week, because if he or she doesn't I'll start changing things around all over again.

Well, until then, Ja Ne
