CHAPTER 4: THE ZANPAKUTOS, SENSEI’S AND TRAINING PART I: THE ZANPAKUTOS OF THE PAST
NARUTO’S MINDSCAPE
“Awaken the strength that was kept hidden from you. Awaken your power and bring fort a new being. Awaken your inner power. Awaken from your slumber my zanpakutō KURAMA.” A powerful roar was unleashed as a blinding golden light with yellow flames engulfed around Naruto and Kurama.
The two were surrounded by the powerful flames as Kurama started to morph into its zanpakutō form. The flames started to form the katana blade in Naruto’s hand. The blade itself was orange and was as tall as him with a nine pointed star guard which looked like fox tails, a reddish orange tsuba and the hilt was a fox head. Naruto instead of wearing his shihakushō from earlier was replaced with a white kimono like shirt and a long sleeved, ankle length reddish orange coat with four small yet thin yellow ropes that attached them together and black flames at the edge of the sleeves, collar and bottom of the coat. Naruto opened his blue sapphire eyes were replaced with blood red ones with slits to see the magnificent blade in his hand. His fingernails grew long and sharp and teeth bared sharp as daggers. Then the coat was starting to glow in a golden yellowish orange flames burning on top of it.
His blood red eyes then changed to golden yellow ones with slits in each eye. He was wearing now a chakra shroud with six magatama markings around his neck, two distinctive pieces of hair-like horns resembling the Sage of the Six Paths' silhouette, his whiskers were darker and were rectangular in shape, swirl designs that resemble the Uzumaki clan's symbol and his whole body expect his face were glowing golden yellow. The patterns on the shroud usually extend partway down to his arms and legs, though in some instances they can extend further along the body.
The Eight Trigrams Seal and the Reaper Death Seal that were invisible on his stomach were also visibly showing. His blade changed into a blood red blade with two fox heads as the side guard of the sword while the guard itself was gold with a large red diamond with a slit in the center and an oval red ruby with a slit at the top of the hilt. The grip of the sword was black with red flames and blade remained the same length.
“Bankai Kyuubi Kurama.” Naruto said as he held the Nine Tailed Kurama or Kyuubi Kurama in his hand and pointed at the empty cage.
“Kit it seems we did it. You finally did it. You achieved both shikai and bankai. Just you did with Zangetsu.” Said an excited angelic yet feminine voice. Everyone turned to see where the voice came from. They were surprised to see a young reddish orange haired woman in her early 20s. She was 5’ ft 3, had red eyes with slits, a cute nose, fair skin, an hour glass figure, large DD-cup breasts, luscious red lips, slender body with amazing curves that most men would describe as sexy; her long reddish orange hair reached down to her back, a pair of cute fox ears on her head, three dark whiskers on each cheek and nine fox tails. She wore a red kimono and robe with orange flames that showed a little of her large DD-cup breasts and traditional Japanese women’s slippers.
Naruto’s jaw dropped and he was blushing a little when he saw the fox-like woman, the two male zanpakutō spirits were also blushing while Sode no Shirayuki was feeling a little jealous when she saw her chest area then saw her own but she was glad that she had another female zanpakutō companion to talk too. The fox-like woman saw how Naruto was looking at her and decided to tease him a little. She walked up to him, got down to his height and gave him a seductive look and smile.
“Like what you see Naruto-kun.” She said in an innocent yet seductive voice before she gently gave him a kiss on his forehead. Naruto was red as a tomato and steam came out of his ears and at the top of his head as he was spouting gibberish. The blue haired man grumbled under his breath how lucky Naruto was to get the fox-like woman’s attention only to receive an elbow to the ribs from Sode no Shirayuki. Then Naruto noticed that there was something familiar about this woman. Naruto tilted his head in confusion to see where he had seen her before. Then it hit him when he saw her fox tails.
“Kurama is that you?” Naruto asked surprising everyone in the room. This woman right here was Kurama the nine tailed fox. The fox-like woman smiled, placed him on her lap and gave him a hug as she gently ran her hand thru his golden yellow locks.
“Yes kit it’s really me. Naruto I can’t thank you enough for what you have done for me. Because of you I’m free and given a second chance at redemption and I’m no longer a demon. You’ve made me a guardian and your zanpakutō. You were also willing to sacrifice your own life for me to be safe. I don’t know if I’ll be able to repay you for how much you’ve done for me.” She said with a sad smile and small tears running down her cheeks. Naruto saw this and hugged her. He then wiped away her tears and gently kissed her forehead before looking into her red orbs and smiled.
“Kurama I didn’t save because I needed to. I saved you because I wanted to. You’ve been there for me when I had no one was there for me, you kept me safe, alive and strong. You’ve protected me. If anything I should be the one thanking you. But I know now we’re both alive and safe so that’s more than enough for me. Now then please wipe those tears off your beautiful face Kura-chan because I don’t want to see you crying ever again. And I’ll make sure you never cry again. Believe it.” Naruto said with a foxy grin. Kurama blushed a little when Naruto called her beautiful before she smiled and wiped away her tears. She then felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned to see it was Tensa Zangetsu with a small smirk on his face and Sode no Shirayuki giving her a warm smile.
“Naruto’s right Kurama. You shouldn’t be crying for there is nothing to cry about. You were the first person who cared for Naruto when no one was there for him. Without you we wouldn’t be here and neither would Naruto.” Tensa Zangetsu said as he tried to make her feel better. Sode no Shirayuki held both of Kurama’s hand and said.
“He’s right Kurama-chan. Without you Naruto wouldn’t be here. Those that have harmed him are blinded by their own hatred. Now please stop blaming yourself for no one blames you for what happened to Naruto. You’re a good person Kurama-chan please you know you never wanted to harm him and you care for Naruto. So please stop beating the bush on this matter ok.” The ice zanpakutō said as she tried to give the fox like woman some confidence while trying to help her up. Kurama smiled as she got up to her feet.
“Thank you Zangetsu, Sode no Shirayuki for your confidence in me but most of all thank you Naruto-kun for giving me a chance at redemption.” Kurama hugged the two zanpakutō spirits before hugging Naruto and giving him another kiss on the cheek this time. Naruto blushed once more before scratching the back of his head sheepishly while giving her a foxy grin. Then Naruto turned his attention to the blue haired man. He walked over to him and gave a confident smile while the blue haired spirit smirked and ruffled the blonde’s hair.
“You did well Naruto. I must say I’m quite impressed that you’ve achieved both shikai and bankai from the both of them.” His smirked dropped and was replaced with a serious look on his face.
“But what will you do when I lend you my powers Naruto. Will you use my powers for own needs or will you use them for only fighting strong opponents. Will you use my powers and abilities for your selfish desire and have me used like a slave?” He asked Naruto completely shocking him and everyone in the room as Naruto’s bangs covered his eyes. How could someone ask something so selfish after seeing what Naruto has done to protect those he cares about? Kurama was furious. How dare he ask Naruto something like that after seeing what he’s done for her and everyone else here? She wanted to strangle him until Tensa Zangetsu stopped her.
“Let’s see what the outcome of this conversation Kurama. I have confidence that Naruto will see thru his deception.” Tensa Zangetsu said with a small smile while putting his faith in Naruto. Kurama just sighed and decided to trust him on this one. She just hoped that what Tensa Zangetsu said was true otherwise heads are gonna roll.
“Well Naruto what’s your answer. Will you use me like a slave or will you have me used to your own personal needs.” The blue haired zanpakutō spirit asked with his arms crossed over his chest as he was starting to get impatient as Naruto still silent. How was he supposed to answer something like that? Because Naruto knew he couldn’t predict the future but he knew he’ll never ever use anyone or his zanpakutō for his own personal needs or selfish desire. Naruto looked back at Kurama and smiled then turned to the blue haired spirit. He gave him a foxy grin and a look of pure determine.
“I know that I can’t predict the future or if I’ll even use any of you for my own use. But if there is one thing that I’ll never ever do and that is use you as a slave or use you like some kind of tool for my own personal gains. You are my Zanpakuto. You are a part of me as are Kurama and Zangetsu. You are my friends, my mentors and most of all you’re my family. And I’ll never use my family as a slave or betray your trust.”
“I made a vow that I would protect my family and those I care about. No matter what I’ll go back on my word. That’s my nindo. My ninja way.” Naruto said with the utmost confidence and seriousness in his voice. The blue haired spirit tried to detect if Naruto was lying or not. True to his word he couldn’t find any signs of foul play or lies within the young blonde’s words. It showed that this boy was sincere and had earned the right to wield his powers and has the right to him his zanpakutō as Naruto is now his new master.
The blue haired smiled as he walked up to him. He crutched down to Naruto’s height and gave him a two finger poke on the forehead. “Itai (Ouch). Hey that hurt. Why did you that for?” Naruto said as he rubbed his forehead with a small pout. He just chuckled.
“That was my way of saying congratulations for being able to pass my test. Unlike some hot heads.” He said looking at Kurama who only looked away with an embarrassed blush over her cheeks, her arms crossed under her chest and pouted.
“You were able see right thru my test to see both your resolve and your will should you have misused the power and gifts that you have earned. And I must say how impressed I am with your answer and your determination. As of this moment I am your zanpakutō Naruto. My power is yours to wield and to command.” He said as a sword appeared from out of nowhere and into his hand.
He gave the sword to Naruto. “Now call out my name Naruto. Call out my name and claim me as your zanpakutō.” Naruto pulled the blade out and pointed it at the ceiling and said.
“Descend from the heavens above and strike thy enemies with all thy might. SORA NO RYū ARASHI (Sky Storm Dragon).” Eight colors of flames red, blue, green, yellow, pink, white, black and orange erupted from the ground beneath him and surrounded Naruto as the blade in his hand began to change its appearance. A long whitish silver blade as tall as him appeared, the grip was a silver handle with a cone shaped hilt. The guard of the sword was a dragon’s head in the center with a small ruby in its mouth and two blue sapphire eyes while the outer guard was a pair of dragon wings. The blade was pure white with silver lacing making it shine and allows the wielder to cut his opponents and anything down to size.
Naruto’s chakra shroud vanished and was replaced with a whitish blue long-sleeved, ankle-length coat or shihakushō with blue lining, which is closed at his chest and sleeves and left to flare out into ragged ends while on his back was a printed picture of a white dragon surrounded by the colored balls of energy, white pants and a pair of white boots with silver highlights and blue lining. On each of his sleeves were four gems stones describing the same colors of the flames that surround him? On his left arm sleeve were red, orange, yellow and white and on his right arm sleeve were pink, blue, green and black.
Each gem represents a certain element. Red is for fire. Blue is for water. Green is for earth. Yellow is for lightning. Pink is for wind. Orange is for healing any and all injuries including neutralizing poisons and diseases with the ability to study, memorize and understand and learn how to cure the poison/disease and being able to combine the elements of the other gems to form sub-elements like wood, snow, ice, lava and so on. White is for life and light. And black is for death and darkness. These two also represent both Yin and Yang.
But it didn’t stop there as his shihakushō started to grow a pair of wings and a dragon tail on his back with dragon picture still intact. They were scaly and from the neck right down to the tail were small scaly spikes. A dragon head like amulet appeared facing down on the chest of his shihakushō. His hands and feet were turned into dragon claws and his eyes were icy cold blues with silver slits. His blade transformed from slivery white into an ice cold blue with two dragon heads as the side guard while in the center of the blade holds a blue sapphire sphere with a silver slit in the center of it. There were silver engraved writing into it. It said (天の龍, Ten no Ryū) The Heavenly Dragon. The eight gems that were on his sleeves glowed and each of them released a small ball size energy ball that surrounded Naruto from behind. All and all he had achieved his third and final bankai and has learned the names of all his zanpakutōs. As the flames die down Naruto immerges from the tower of flames standing before everyone as his achieved yet another bankai.
“Bankai Kōtei no Ryū ō (King of the Imperial Dragons).” Naruto said as he brought the blade down to his side gripping it tightly and swung it to the side as the wind blew from where he was standing before pointing it at the zanpakutō spirits with a foxy grin on his face. He did it. He finally did it. He had achieved all three bankai’s of his zanpakutōs. He now held the power to protect those he cared about. And of course he had the power to protect his new family. Tensa Zangetsu smiled as he changed back into his shikai self once more while Kurama and Sora no Ryū Arashi remained the same as they were before. They were proud of Naruto. Now they knew they can start his training in properly using his zanpakutōs and his soul reaper powers. Then everyone noticed that Naruto started to fade away.
“Wha…what’s going on? What’s happening to me?” Naruto asked as he noticed his body was slowly fading away into nothingness. Zangetsu just smiled slightly and walked up to him.
“Naruto you have nothing to worry about. You’re just waking up from your earlier shock. That’s all. Now then why don’t you return to your mothers and senseis’? I’m sure they’re worried about you. And don’t worry we have a mental link so we can communicate with you whenever you are in need of advise or how to use our powers.” Zangetsu said as he ruffles Naruto’s hair a little. Naruto just smiled at his zanpakutō spirit.
“I guess I’ll see you guys later then. And again I’m glad to have met all of you.” Naruto said as he vanishes out of their site. “And remember Naruto. Abandon your fear Naruto, face forward, move forward, never turn back. Retreat and you will age, hesitate and you will die.” Suddenly a shadowy figure immerged from the shadow. He was 3’ft6, albino white from head to toe with three whiskers on each cheek; spiky albino white hair, his teeth were black and his eyes were sickly yellow. His attire was a white shirt, long white pants, an ankle long white cloak with black flames and white boots. All and all this was Naruto’s Inner Hollow. He was a carbon copy of the original Naruto and he had a sadistic grin on his face.
“Aw man Naruto’s gone and I didn’t chance to introduce myself. Oh well I’ll just wait until he wakes up and strike when least’s expects it. Then I’ll take over this body and make it my own.” The hollow said as he let out a sickly sadistic laugh. What he didn’t notice was Kurama sneaking up behind him locking him in a half nelson headlock. The hollow boy struggled to break free from the fox like woman’s hold.
“You will do no such thing young man. You may be his hollow self and the other half of Zangetsu but I will not allow you to do as you please. Just because you’re his darkest intensions are both selfish and sadistic doesn’t mean anything to us and know this as long as we’re here you will not corrupt Naruto. Do you understand?” Kurama said as she added more pressure on her hold. (And yes she knows who or what hollow Naruto truly is thanks to the stab she received from Naruto where Zangetsu’s memories where shown to her who the hollow truly was.)
“HEY LET ME YOU OLD HAG I HAVE TO CHALLENGE NARUTO TO SEE IF HE’S WORTHY OF BEING KING BECAUSE I WILL NOT BE CALLED OR USED BY A WEAKLING THAT CAN’T EVEN PUT UP A DECENT FIGHT AND NO ONE’S GONNA STOP ME. NOT THAT OLD GEZZER.” points at Zangetsu. “NOT THE PRETTY DRAGON BOY.” points at Sora no Ryu Arashi. “AND ESPECIALLY NOT YOU AND THAT ICE COLD OLD HAGS. I WILL CLAIM MY THRONE AND I WILL BE KING. I SAID LET ME RIGHT NOW YOU BITCHING SMELLY HAIRY OLD FOX HAG.” Suddenly the room temperature dropped drastically as cold air filled the room and huge amounts of killing intent or k.i and powerful spiritual pressure or reaitsu filled the room. The two male zanpakutō spirits wisely stepped back far enough as they knew things were about to get real ugly especially when you’re in the presence of two powerful yet deadly women. The hollow looked at the women and nearly pissed himself as he saw what was to be the scariest thing that anything or any man would fear for their lives. A woman’s fury.
The snow goddess was red instead white thanks to her built up rage and it started a major blizzard and Kurama was on fire. And I mean literally on fire as it surrounded her from head to toe and due to being nine tailed fox that had a huge advantage over fire and her fingernails and teeth grew sharper as her whiskers grew even darker. The hollow Naruto was scared as he was starting to regret what he said to these two women in front of him.
“WHAT DID YOU CALL US YOU LITTLE SHIT ASS FUCKING PIECE OF HOLLOW SHIT.” Kurama and Sode no Shirayuki yelled out before giving the hollow boy a major beat down. The male zanpakutōs were almost feeling sorry the poor guy. Almost. After all he had it coming when he practically insulted to women that can beat you to death and also remove the very thing that makes you a man in which the two men unconsciously grabbed as Kurama gave a powerful kick to the said hollow boy as he sang like a canary and falls to his knees as holds his manhood in pain. Guess he’ll be pissing blood for the next few weeks. After a black and blue bloody beat down Kurama and Sode no Shirayuki finally calmed down they turned to the beaten up HNaruto on the floor with bruises and claw like marks on his body.
“Now then young man if you ever disrespect your elders ever again or try to take over Naruto’s body. Well we don’t want a repeat of what just happened now do we.” Kurama said with a sickly sweet smile on their faces while behind her appeared an image of her nine tailed fox form with a face that practically screamed bloodlust. HNaruto (Hollow Naruto) shook him negatively as he didn’t want that sort of beating from these two women ever again.
“So will be a good boy and listen to us and not make any more mishaps right.” Sode no Shirayuki said sick sweet smile as HNaruto was starting to feel his legs being frozen due to Sode no Shirayuki’s power. He quickly agreed as he didn’t want to be turned into a frozen ice block nor did he want to be burned to a fiery crisp or suffer another one of those beating.
“Ok ok. I’m sorry. I’ll listen and be a good boy from now on. I’ll behave I swear just stop before you turn me into an ice block.” HNaruto pleaded her as the ice had already reached up to his neck. The women turned to each other and simultaneously nodded to each other before freeing the albino from his frozen torture block. He was cold and covered in bruises. Sode no Shirayuki smiled as gently picked him up and placed him on her lap. Kurama started to heal him while Shirayuki tried to relieve the pain away with her ice healing. HNaruto was surprised by this. First they beat him up now they start to heal him. Kurama saw the look on his face with a small smile and decided to give him his answer.
“If you’re wondering why we’re healing you it’s because despite everything that you just said and the beating we gave you you’re still a child and a part of Naruto soul. The part where he has felt the pain of betrayal, misery, abuse, abandoned and many more. Yet despite all that you are willing to help to protect from his insecurity and his pain by trying to play his darker side and by fighting you you’re making him stronger as well teaching him on how to use his hollow powers am I right?” Kurama said surprising the young hollow boy. How did she find out about that? It’s true that despite his hollow like personality which can be a bit sadistic he wants to help Naruto become stronger and help him master his hollowfication so he can face anything or anyone with ease.
“H…how did know about that?” shuttered the HNaruto. Kurama smiled and gently kissed his forehead. The poor hollow boy was turned bright red. (I don’t know if he could blush or not so I just added it in.)
“A woman’s intuition is never wrong and plus a mother has to know how her son thinks and acts don’t you know?” Kurama said with a smile surprising everyone in the room. None more than HNaruto. Sode no Shirayuki saw what Kurama was trying to do and smiled. She wants to treat HNaruto like her own child as she saw Naruto as one. She knew despite the things he’s about and to them she’s still willing to look passed it and show her love and compassion as a mother to the little boy in front of her. Whether he is a hollow or not.
“M…Mother? Are you saying that yo…you want to be my mother?” HNaruto said with a little shuttered voice. Did he hear her right? Did she say she wants to be his mother? Kurama the Nine Tailed Fox now zanpakutō and guardian wants to be his mother. His mother. He couldn’t help but feel happy as he now a mother.
“That’s right my little Shiro-chan (White). From now on I will be your mother as well as Sode no Shirayuki if you are with Shira-chan.” Kurama asked Sode as she was hoping that Shirayuki would also like to be a mother. Sode no Shirayuki looked at Kurama then down to Shiro who was still sitting on her lap as the little hollow boy tilted his head as he was confused as to what the snow zanpakutō was thinking right now. To Shirayuki Shiro looked cute in a hollow boy way cute but cute none the less before she smiled and kissed his forehead. The poor boy turned bright red once more. She gently ran her hand thru his spiky albino white hair.
“Yes Kurama-chan I would also love to be Shiro-chan’s mother but I’d rather be his Oba-chan (Aunt). What do you say Shiro? Would you like both me and Kurama to be your mother and aunt?” Sode no Shirayuki asked Shiro starred into her icy blue eyes before he happily hugged her waist with small tears running down his cheeks.
“YES YES YES. I would love to have the two of you as my mother and aunt.” Shiro said before let’s go Sode no Shirayuki and hugged Kurama’s waist.
“Also from now on your name is Shiro. I don’t think it’ll be polite for us to be our son hollow all the time don’t you think sochi-kun?” Kurama said as she gently nuzzled his cheeks with hers which made Shiro giggle a little.
“Kaa-chan stop. I’m ticklish like Naruto nii-san (brother). And yes I like my name very much Kurama kaa-chan. Thank you.” Shiro said with a foxy grin much like Naruto’s. The two male zanpakutō’s were both amazed and happy. It was every woman’s dream to become a mother and for a child no matter who they were/are is to have parents especially a loving and caring mother in their lives. The two male walked up to them as Sora no ryū arashi gently placed his hand on Kurama’s shoulder. She looked up to him and him as Sora gave her a small yet gentle smile.
“You’ll be a great mother Kurama-chan. I just know it.” Sora said as a blush appeared on the fox woman’s face. Sora believed in her as she would be a great mother. Kurama didn’t know why but she felt butterflies in her stomach and her face heat up even more. Did she start developing feeling for the dragon zanpakutō? Cold silvery blue orbs met blood red ones as a smile appeared on her red lips as she gave the blue haired male a kiss on the cheek. The said man was blushing furiously. He didn’t think Kurama would be so bold as to kiss him. Especially in front of everyone. Zangetsu smirked and Sode no Shirayuki let out a small giggle as the older zanpakutōs thought how cute of a couple the two would make. Shiro felt a little jealous as he thought Sora was trying to steal Kurama, his new mother away from him.
“Hey back off. She’s mine. You will not take my kaa-chan from me.” Shiro said as he possessively hugged his arms around her knees while glaring at Sora no Ryū Arashi. He was quite possessive of his new mother and he wasn’t going to let anyone take her away from her. The two adults looked at the little hollow boy before they laughed. Shiro tilted his head as he had a confused look on his face. Why were they laughing? Did he do something to make laugh? They finally stopped laughing and turned back to Shiro. Sora just smiled as he ruffled Shiro’s spiky white hair.
“Shiro why would you think that I would separate you from Kurama. I would never think of something like that. You deserve to have a mother just like any other child on this earth. Besides it’s not like Kurama and I could run away from Naruto’s Soulscape. We’re his zanpakutōs and we swore that we would protect and help our master no matter what. We won’t abandon him just like Kurama would never abandon you. Ok so stop being so paranoid for I truly have no intentions of separating Kurama from you and you from her.” Sora said as Shiro looked at him before at up to his mother who gave him a gentle smile.
“Shiro-chan I would never abandon my sochi. Not for power, not for Madara’s head on a spike which I wouldn’t mind having though” Everyone sweatdropped when she said that. “And not even for a chance for slaying Madara’s sorry ass as I torture him ever slowly and painfully as I remove his manhood and shove it down his throat.” Kurama said as she let out sickly sweet giggle. Everyone sweatdropped even more and felt a shiver run down their spines. May Hiruka-sama have mercy for poor bastard’s soul as they knew it’s only a matter of time before Kurama gets her hands on him there’s bound to be hell to pay for messing with an angry woman? Especially if she’s a raging Nine Tailed Fox, The Queen of the Bijuu (Tailed Beast).
When Kurama realized she was unconsciously letting her plans on torturing Madara she felt an embarrassed blush creep up and nervously scratched the back of her head. “I was rambling on about my plans on torturing Madara out loud wasn’t I.” Everyone nodded simultaneously. “Sorry that tends to happen sometimes. The point is this Shiro. No matter what happens I’ll never ever abandon you. Ok. You’re my son and I’ll always be here for you.” Kurama said as she picked Shiro up in her arms and gently kissed his cheeks as she laid his head on her shoulder. Shiro didn’t know why but he felt tears running down his cheeks. He was both happy and relieved that Kurama wasn’t going to abandon him and that she will always be there for him as he silently cried on her shoulder. (Thought I put in a mother-son moment. Like I said every child deserves a mother even Shiro. So don’t judge me.)
“Shh…shh. It’s ok. It’s ok. There there Shiro-chan. Everything’s going to be alright especially with me and your new tou-san (dad/father) here. Isn’t that Sora-koi (love)?” Kurama said as both Shiro and Sora looked at her completely surprised by what she had just said. The two males were staring at her like she had grown two heads. Did they hear her right? ‘Did she just call Sora/me koi and my/Shiro’s new tou-san?’ They thought at the same time. Kurama tilted her head as she looked them with a confused look on her face. Did she say something wrong?
“Hey are you two ok? Hey you two snap out of it?” Kurama said as she snapped her fingers waking them from their daze. There was an awkward silence between the three of them. Sora decided to break the silence.
“K…Kurama did you just” but Kurama cuts him off. “Yes Sora I did call you koi and named you Shiro’s new tou-chan (dad/daddy). Why don’t you want me to call you that and be a proud father for his son?” Kurama said with her fists by her hips as she stood on toes. Nose to nose. Their lips were merely inches away from each other. Sora no Ryu Arashi was starting to sweat a little. He didn’t want to face her wrath yet he didn’t know whether to choose to accept his feeling for the fox woman and Shiro as his son. To accept them as his wife and son. On the sidelines Zangetsu was smirking at the sire sight of the fiasco while Sode no Shirayuki was giggling like a schoolgirl. This reminded them of the time where Rukia practically had Ichigo whipped during her pregnancy. Poor Ichigo suffered severely under his wife’s uncontrollable mood swings. From ridicules cravings to massive kicks, quarrellings and several blocks to the head. Her former mistress was indeed a handful. Yet despite everything that Rukia put Ichigo thru he still loved her dearly and she him. They were even happier when the girls were born.
Sora and Kurama heard giggling sound and to see the two older zanpakutōs enjoying their little quarrel like they were an old married couple from a hilarious TV show. “WHAT’S SO DAMM FUNNY?” The two shouted in unison while glaring at the older duo. The look on their faces never left.
“Oh nothing really. Expect for the fact that the two of you are arguing like an old married couple who couldn’t decide on what name their soon to be born child.” Zangetsu said with a confident smirk on his face. This made both Sora and Kurama blushed until they were as identical as a ripped tomato. Shirayuki was holding her sides while laughing her ass off. This was funniest thing she had since Byakuya and Rukia’s childhood friend Renji Abarai had tried to castrate Ichigo for having sex with Rukia before wedlock. It took 12 men and women including Rukia calm the two men down as both men mostly Byakuya after they chased a near fully naked Ichigo around their new home threatening to cut his balls off for deflowering his pride which would be his sister Rukia with his zanpakutō Senbonzakura.
Then everything was settled after a long non-ball/manhood removal threats conversation the four had decided that both Ichigo and Rukia should be married. Renji was heartbroken that he and Rukia couldn’t be more than just friends but he learned that as long as she’s happy that’s all it matters and moved on to love someone else. Byakuya warned him should Rukia shed tears or make her unhappy Soul king or not (THAT’S RIGHT ICHIGO’S THE NEW SOUL KING IN A DIFFERENT WORLD AFTER THEIR WORLD WAS DESTROYED.) he will make Ichigo’s life a living hell. After Sode no Shirayuki had stopped laughing she composed herself with a big smile on her face.
“I haven’t laughed this much since Ichigo ran from Renji and Byakuya chasing and threatening to cut his balls for having sex with my former mistress Rukia. Any who the two of you need to work things out right here and now. Sora do you like the Kurama-chan over here.”
“Shirayuki obasan what going on? Hey oji-san (old man/uncle) do you know what going on here cause I’m completely clueless.” Shiro asked Zangetsu.
“It seems that Shirayuki is trying to get them together. But this is an adult matter so let’s have at that ok Shiro.” Shiro just nodded his head. It was their problem so they should find a way to fix it.
“I’ll ask again. Sora no Ryū Arashi do you like this beautiful and sexy nine tailed vixen here.” Sode no Shirayuki asked him in a voice that was two sweet as she pointed at Kurama. Sora just realized that there will be pain if gave the wrong answer. Not just one but three of them will hurt him. Yet he also wanted to admit his feeling for red haired vixen. He looked at Kurama’s direction and gave her a gentle smile.
“Yes Shirayuki. I like her. I really her a lot. She’s beautiful, a dedicated zanpakutō, mother and guardian. She’s loyal and caring. Anyone and I mean anyone would be lucky to have her as a wonderful mother and as a beautiful lover.” Sora no Ryū Arashi said with such passion. Kurama was blushing up a storm when he said that. Did he really feel that way about her? She felt butterflies in her stomach again, her heart was beating faster than before and her face heating up. Was she? Yes she knew now she was in love with the dragon zanpakutō as he has felt the same way for her. Sode no Shirayuki smiled and turned her attention to the young vixen.
“Now then Kurama do you feel the same way about Sora no Ryū Arashi.” Shirayuki asked her in the same sweet voice. Kurama already knew her answer. She couldn’t deny her feeling for she was indeed in love with him. Kurama looked into his eyes with a beautiful smile before she walked up to him and kissed him passionately on the lips. Sora froze a second before he returned the kiss with equal passion. Sode no Shirayuki was blushing. She didn’t think that Kurama would be this bold as t o kiss him immediately but she was happy for the two of them. Zangetsu had a smirk on his face and Shiro was happily jumping around for now he had a new tou-chan. And someone who will make his mother very happy. After for the need of oxygen the two lovers separated as they looked into each other’s eyes before looking back at Sode no Shirayuki. Kurama smirked as she had won the lottery.
“Well Shirayuki-chan does that answer your question.” She said as the two saw a smile appeared on the snow zanpakutō’s face.
“Yes. Yes it does. Because now the two of you are lovers and parents.” Shirayuki gestured Shiro to come forward. “Now then Sora Kurama what do you say now that your son is here?” Shirayuki said as she gently pushed Shiro over to them. Sora smiled as he picked up his new son in his arms.
“Shiro from this fort the six of us including Naruto are a family. I’ll always be there for you son and your mother. We’re a family and we’re apart of Naruto’s soul. We’ll always be together no matter what. I will love you and your mother with all my heart. Now and forever.” Sora no Ryū Arashi said as looked at his new son. Shiro had tears running his cheeks. He didn’t know what to say. Not did have a mother but now a father as well. He has a family now. He felt so happy that he hugged his new father.
“DADDY.” Shiro latched onto him as he happily cried in his father’s shoulder. Kurama and Sora tried to soothing him as they calmed him down. After things had calmed down Shiro looked Sora and asked.
“Will you promise to be there for us and never leave us?” Sora was a little taken back when Shiro asked that question. Kurama was about to scold her son when Sora answered him.
“I would rather burn in the depths of hell then abandon you. Both of you have become my life and I will love and protect you with my life. And the goes to Naruto as well.” Sora said as gently let his down.
“Now then why don’t we go and introduce ourselves to our master’s family and I’m sure Naruto would be thrilled to meet you Shiro. What do say guys shall we go and introduce ourselves.” Zangetsu suggested to everyone. They nodded in agreement.
“I’d let’s go for it. Besides I want to see Hiruka-chan and the girls after so many millennia. I bet they’ll be quite surprised to see us especially the two of us Zangetsu.” Sode no Shirayuki said with a hint of sadness in her voice. But then she felt a hand on her shoulder as she turned to see Zangetsu with a small smile on his face.
“We can’t change the past Shirayuki but we can change and help build a better future. And let’s make sure this time we will be there until the very end.” Zangetsu said as Sode no Shirayuki smiled at what Zangetsu had said.
“Right then what are we are waiting for? Let’s go and see the girls I mean young women.” Sode no Shirayuki said with confidence in her voice as the four zanpakutō spirits set fort to meet their master’s new family and for a long waited reunion.
OUTSIDE OF NARUTO’S MINDSCAPE
The immense amount of power that was being released from Naruto was starting to form into three separate blades. The first blade was a silver bladed katana which was 3ft’ 6 with a black and red tsuba and half linked chain and the guard of the sword is a silver crescent moon and a black steel sheath with a silver engraving for ‘(斬月, Zangetsu)Moon Slayer’ on it. The second blade was also 3ft’ 6 with a red katana with white and orange tsuba, the guard was five pointed star with fox like tails design and a black sheath with reddish orange engraving for ‘(保護者キツネ, Hogo-sha kitsune) Guardian Fox ’ on it. And the final blade was also 3ft’ 6 with a white sword which the custom silver grip is surrounded by cast a blue dragon guard, which coordinates with the knot work featured on the cast metal pommel and a solid dark steel blue sheath with unique silvery blue engraving for ‘(天の龍, Ten no Ryū)’ Dragon of Heaven’ on it.
The zanpakutō’s were designed to increase their size according to Naruto’s height. As the energy surrounding Naruto started to compress into the size of a soccer ball before it split itself in three ways as it enters into the three zanpakutōs. As the last amounts of energy disappears into the blades Yuuko and Hikari started to regain composure in their bodies. The goddess and angel were astonished as to the power that the blonde haired boy had just unleashed.
“Milady are you alright. You’re not injured are you?” Hikari asked concerning that if her mother all but blood and power was injured or wounded. Yuuko just smiled at Hikari at her new daughter showing her that she was unharmed by the strange yet powerful energy.
“I’m alright Hikari-chan. You know I’m not just known as one of the four goddess for nothing you know. And did I just say that you are allowed to call me kaa-san.” Yuuko said to Hikari who only nodded. They noticed that Naruto neither was he uninjured nor was his life was in jeopardy. The two just sighed that nothing had happened to Naruto.
The two had turned their attention to the three zanpakutōs that lay next to the sleeping Naruto. They slowly made their way Hiruka and everyone else came running in to see what had happened.
“Yuuko, Hikari-chan. Are you two alright? We felt a strange yet similar energy of sort so we came to see what had happened? Are either of you injured? And how’s Naruto-kun doing? Was he injured and have you apologized to him yet Yuuko?” Hiruka asked Yuuko both concerned and curious as to what had happened earlier. Yuuko just gestured at the sleeping Naruto and the three zanpakutōs that were on the bed.
“We’re all fine Onee-chan (sister/big sister). That energy wave didn’t do anything to harm us. Naruto hasn’t woken up yet so I haven’t apologized to him yet. As for the strange energy that you felt. It was from Naru-chan.” Yuuko said getting gasps from everyone except her and Hikari. Hiruka turned to her surrogate daughter who nodded in agreement.
“It’s true milady I mean kaa-san. Otōto (younger/little brother) was releasing so much energy from the seal on his stomach that it manifested into three zanpakutōs that are on the over there then a large amount of that energy constructed into a ball before splitting into three parts and entered into the zanpakutōs.” Hikari said as she pointed at the zanpakutōs on the bed. They were surprised to hear that some strange energy could manifest into a physical object and entering the zanpakutōs. Just what was going on?
“But the strangest thing was onee-chan was that the energy Naruto was unleashing felt familiar. Not familiar like easy to forget familiar but the always will be there familiar. Like we know what the answer is but we can’t say it. WHY IS IT SO CONFUSING?” Yuuko yelled out while pulling on her hair with pure frustration. Just what was that energy Naruto had unleashed that could form into three zanpakutōs?
“Perhaps we could help explain what is going on?” a new voice said surprising everyone in the room. They turned to see five individuals standing there by the door of the room. Thinking that they were intruders (because like I said only the four goddesses and their selected angels are allowed in unless they will it or are given permission to enter the house of the four goddesses.) all four goddesses and Hikari pulled out their zanpakutōs while the others prepared in their fighting stances.
“Who are you and how did you get in here without us knowing of your presence here? Only our angles or the souls that we allow may enter our domain.” Hiruka demanded as she unsheathes her zanpakutō from her sheath and pointed the blade at the intruders as her sisters did the same. When she did get a reply from the said person Yuuko unsealed her blade and called fort her zanpakutō spirit as she will not have anyone disrespecting her sister in any given manner.
“All things in the universe turn to ashes. Ryūjin Jakka (Flowing Blade-like Flame).” Yuuko yelled as she released her zanpakutō. (Yes that right. Most of the characters will have the same zanpakutōs as the ones from Bleach series while for others it’ll be according to their stature.) The blade erupted as flames started to the blade and Yuuko pointed the blade at them.
“ANSWER MY SISTER RIGHT NOW. WHO THE HELL ARE YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE.” Yuuko bellowed as more flames erupted from the zanpakutō. One of them stepped forward and greeted the flaming zanpakutō.
“It’s been a while since we last seen one another Ryūjin Jakka.” The man said surprising everyone in the room. Suddenly the flames from the zanpakutō started to take form. From the flames emerged a young woman in early 20’s. She had pupil less red eyes, smooth soft pale skin, beautiful red lips, long silky flame like orange hair, a slender body with beautiful curves, a pair of high C-cup breast, a flat stomach, wide curvy hips and long slender legs. She was a red haori like kimono with flame like design that hugged her beautiful curves and Japanese slippers. She looked at the said individual and gave him a warm smile.
“My oh my. It’s been a few millenniums since we last faced each other. Zangetsu. Sode no Shirayuki.” Ryūjin Jakka said surprising everyone in the room especially the four sisters. Did Ryūjin Jakka just called them Zangetsu and Sode no Shirayuki. Images flashed before Hiruka’s eyes as a tall man with orange hair wearing black shihakushō and black kimono pants with traditional slippers holding two separate, purely black, blades. One in the shape of a khyber knife, with the grip at the base of the blade and a handle extending back from this about roughly the width and length of the man’s forearm. There is a thin, hollowed-out portion running along the back edge of the blade from the base to the middle of the blade. The second blade is relatively small, about the size of his arm, and is similar to the first blade, but resembles a trench knife more than a sword. It has an enclosed handle, with portion acting like a hand guard and a petite raven haired woman wearing a white, ankle-length kimono with lined patterns. The robe has an attached ornate collar, edges, and shoulder design with long, wide sleeves. There are long, flowing ribbons tied at her back that form numerous large loops. She has a small ice flower formation at the center of her chest and a half crown of ice which extends around the back of her head. She was holding a white ice like katana in her hand.
A young 11 year old Hiruka watches from behind with awe as the two individuals fought and protected her and others around her. They smiled, laughed and played together. The said individuals were Ichigo Kurosaki Tendo and Rukia Kuchiki Kurosaki Tendo. And they were her parents.
FLASHBACK
Currently Ichigo the current Soul King and the remaining Shimigamis (Soul Reapers) were having trouble fending off the newly more powerful hollows, arrancars, espadas and their traitorous leader the former Captain of Squad 5 of Gotei 13 and of the Soul Society Sosuke Aizen. Ichigo blocked and defended the enemy’s attacks and protected his remaining friends and family. As they fought Rukia decided to say their final goodbyes to their beloved daughters
“Hiruka I’m sorry but this maybe the last time you’ll ever see us. Mommy and daddy have to stop the bad man from hurting everyone around us. You saw what happened to everyone. Uncle Kisuke, Aunty Yoruichi, Uncle Renji, Uncle Byakuya, your grandpa Isshin, Aunty Yuzu, Aunty Karin and Uncle Toshiro. They’re gone honey and now they’re after you. I can’t tell how much it hurts both me and your father where we can’t watch as you and your sisters grow into the beautiful women I know you’ll become and live your lives the way you become mothers of your own children. I love you my little Hiru. I can’t tell you how much it pains me to place the care of a mother on your shoulders as we are now entrusting you with your little sisters but remember no matter what always remember we will always love you.” Rukia said as kissed her daughter’s forehead before she ran towards the battlefield to fend off the enemy alongside her husband and the remaining Soul Reapers of Gotei 13 (The 13 Court Guard Squads).
Ichigo’s and Rukia’s friends Yasutora Sado aka Chad, Yukio Hans Vorarlberna and Riruka Dokugamine grabbed the girls and ran as fast as they could away from the upcoming danger. They knew all too well that Ichigo would want his friends and daughters safe despite Chad’s protests of wanting to stay and fight alongside his friend but he knew that if anyone could have the best chance of keeping the girls safe from Sosuke Aizen and his new hollow army it would be Chad. Hiruka and the girls cried as they watched their mother and father ran to battlefield.
“Mommy, daddy please don’t go. Please don’t leave me. Please come back. Uncle Chad please let us go back to mommy and daddy. Please.” Hiruka cried she struggled to get free of Chad’s huge arm. Riruka went over and started to comfort the crying little girl as she knew what it was like to lose a parent. Suddenly a massive explosion took place on the battlefield and sends a powerful shockwave came their way. Yukio used his Fullbring to create a barrier around them from getting caught in the blast. It was also the last time Hiruka and her sisters saw their parents, friends and the ones they called family.
