Konoha's Sleeping Wolf

Prologue

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Bleach or any characters.

Summary: A response to the Infamous Man's challenge. Naruto finds Stark's zanpakuto in the forest after feeling abandoned by his family and godparents who favor his sister for housing the Kyuubi.

Naruto, a ten-year-old blond, sighed as he walked through the forest surrounding Konoha. He couldn't believe his parents always training his sister just because she was the savior that housed the Kyuubi. Not that he hated his sister or blamed her. On the contrary he loved his sister but he wished his parents or godparents would train him once in a while though. He sighed again when he noticed he was in a part of the forest he had never seen before. In front of him was a waterfall with a limestone cave visible behind it. He walked into the cave behind the waterfall and followed strange blue crystals that lit the way. When he got to the center of the cave he saw a sword with a yellow handle and yellow sheath. It had a plain rectangular guard. He picked it up and immediately passed out.

*Naruto's Mindscape*

Naruto opened his eyes and found himself in a strange desert with red pillars all over the place. He looked around then saw two figures walking toward him. One was a man with long brown hair and the jawbone of a wolf as a necklace. The other was a girl a few years older then him with C-cup breasts and green hair. She wore a rather revealing outfit. On her head was a sort of helmet that covered her left eye. Naruto looked at both these people carefully as they got closer. He saw that the man had the same sword that was in the cave. "Hm this is a little bit interesting." Naruto said not seeming very shocked.

The man and girl stopped a little ways in front of him. "I guess you wouldn't be a bad new wielder. But before that I need to know what you knew about the world before the biiju came to it." The man said. Seeing the blank expression on Naruto's face he sighed before explaining about shinigami, hollows, and Arrancars. "Do you understand?" he asked Naruto.

Naruto nodded. "Um my name is Naruto what's yours?" he asked looking at both people.

"Before we tell you our names we have to test you to see if you're really worthy of being our master." The girl said to which the man nodded lazily before placing his hand on Naruto's head. Naruto felt a weird sensation before it was gone.

"Yes you are worthy of being our master. My name is Stark Coyote, this is Lillynette Gingerback." Stark said pointing to the green haired girl next to him lazily. "When you find out my true name you can use all of my powers. Until then Lillynette and I will train you. Oh and Lillynette will be in the real world with you." The man explained lazily. Then the surroundings faded and Naruto and Lillynette left Naruto's mindscape. Stark looked down and noticed his sword had vanished. "This should be interesting." Stark said.

*Real World*

Naruto opened his eyes to see Lillynette standing over him and looking at him. "Good your awake. Now come on lets get out of here. Oh and you should look at your reflection first chance you get." Lillynette said before heading towards the exit of the cave. Naruto got up lazily and followed her out.

When they got to the lake outside the cave Naruto looked at his reflection and saw that he looked mostly the same but at the same time he also had some of Stark's features including the mask fragment. "Um how exactly do I explain this to my parents?" Naruto said lazily. He wasn't looking at Lillynette so he failed to see the flash of anger at his lazy attitude.

"I don't know why don't you just tell them that you bonded with a sentient sword and it changed your appearance." Lillynette said trying to glare a hole through the back of his head.

"That would work. But how do I explain you coming home with me?" He asked looking at her with a lazy expression.

Lillynette fought down the urge to beat Naruto into the ground. "Tell them I'm part of your sword. It's not a lie since technically I am." She said getting a lazy nod from him. Not being able to stand it any more she punched Naruto hard in the face sending him flying into a tree. "STOP ACTING SO MUCH LIKE STARK DAMN IT!" she screamed then saw Naruto fall out of the tree unconscious. 'Great now I have to carry him to his house and explain everything to his parents. Stark I really hate you right now.' She thought.

A/N: Ok there is the end of the prologue. Yes I know Lillynette's attitude is a little different but after being sealed in a sword with Stark and his laziness for who knows how long it would get annoying. She won't stop being annoyed about it but she won't always beat Naruto up either. Just when he sleeps during training.
