Bleach Fan Fiction / Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ The Hollow King ❯ Chapter 3

"Kami… Just kill me now…" Naruto muttered to himself while hoping the great deity would hear him and grant his wish. "Please, if you have any mercy… Just kill me… Or at least destroy these IDIOTIC FAN GIRLS and ERADICATE this ANNOYING LESSON that isn't doing anyone here the slightest amount of good!"

Obviously the Hollow King was annoyed with his current predicament and how he loathed the fact that he decided to put himself through it! Did he take a hit of heroine before agreeing to this proposal that he offer to at least show some loyalty to the leaf.

'Damn my human memories…' The Arrancar mentally growled at his own stupidity that had got him stuck in this forsaken classroom for the rest of the day and then all day tomorrow!

"Oookay?" Iruka blinked as he wasn't sure whether to feel frightened by this sudden outburst from Naruto or to be annoyed that the kid just insulted his teaching credentials. "Well if that's how you feel I guess we can move on to practical technique to give everyone a chance to see what they can improve before tomorrow… However I am sorry to say I can't do anything about that other then a simple reprimand…"

"NOW EVERYONE SHUT UP AND GET DOWN HERE FOR PRACTICALS!" Iruka used his famed 'Big Head no Jutsu' to frighten all but Naruto and Sasuke to run down and get ready for the practicals.

The Shinigami King was trying to figure out how to replicate such a technique for it would be great to use against insubordinate Captains. The Arrancar grinned from ear to ear loving the fact that this human knew that fear was the best way to control the masses.

"Alright now we're going to practice the Transformation jutsu. You will transform into me now; Sakura you are up first." Iruka stated as he pulled out a clipboard and pen to record the results and see who was actually at least somewhat prepared for what truly waited for them.

And as he had a feeling, everyone had the jutsu down for the most part. There were some slight mistakes but these were academy students. They were given leeway for they were just beginning how to use jutsu. And now the last two in the class were left…

Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke since they were in the back of the line. "Naruto, your up."

"Yeah, yeah… Whatever." Naruto rolled his eyes for he knew he was utterly incapable of using the Transformation technique.

Behind him Sasuke was actually beginning to sweat. He also knew he was unable to wield the basic techniques and he hadn't even thought about trying to do so since the amount of time they were given wasn't very satisfactory to do such. Couldn't they have at least been sent back a few days earlier…

Or better yet, sent back to when everything really, really mattered! Like when he was under Orochimaru's watchful eyes so then he could just slaughter them and get this all over with. But noooo… Kami decided to send them back to this time and age. And for what?

His amusement?

Goddammit…

Concentrating, or at least making it look like he was, the Hollow King put his hands in the ram seal and acted as if he was going to perform the technique. And Sasuke swore if Naruto was able to pull it off he would run his zanpakuto through him for that!

He would not have the Hollow be better then him in anything!

"Boo Yah Mother Fucka!" Naruto suddenly stated before he smoke arose around him.

However to the trained eye it was obvious to see this wasn't the smoke to performing a transformation and instead the smoke you would see from a great impact. Many of course didn't know this and thought Naruto actually did something correct while Sasuke groaned knowing there was going to be yet another prank.

"Behold!" Naruto spoke in an extravagant voice as he stood in the smoke, completely unchanged and holding his arms out as if he was doing something incredible.

After the smoke began to clear from everyone, very few noticing that small crater around Naruto's feet, many of their fellow classmates began snickering at this obvious failure. And a large sweat drop fell from the back of Iruka's head. "Um…"

"Am I not invisible?!" Naruto asked in an extravagant voice that made Sasuke twitch and everyone else laugh.

"Uh… No." Iruka now had a double sweat drop at this event and had to wonder if Naruto lost his mind or was just trying to pull a fast one on him.

"WHY NOT?!" Naruto yelled out before drawing the zanpakuto at his side, something he had noticed a little late, and pointed it Iruka. "I am invisible now!"

"Uh sure… Perfect marks. Sasuke your next." Iruka nervously chuckled and took a step back from Naruto for he knew he was responsible for everything that happened outside today, including the lockdown.

Smugly grinning, giving Sasuke a quick glance, Naruto moved back with the others feeling better then before as he saw Sasuke mouth 'Fuck You!'. He completely ignored everyone's glares and wondered why he even had a sword. Academy students weren't allowed to have weapons like that!

"Iruka-sensei!" Ino shrieked and made Naruto wince since she happened to be right next to him. "Why did Naruto get a good score?! He didn't even transform into anything!"

"Yeah… Tell them why I got top marks." Naruto manically grinned as he challenged Iruka before a slight red glow began to from a single finger he held up before him. "Go ahead… I dare you."

Visibly paling for he had been informed about what happened and about the newest S-rank law that was to keep that secret from anyone that didn't know, Iruka was put in a corner. It seemed if he told Ino the truth this new Naruto would have no problem obliterating him off the face of the earth yet if he didn't he would have to put up with Ino for the next…

"Because I said so." Iruka reprimanded Ino without hesitation for it was much easier to deal with her since there were only the final exams, graduation and team assignments left which only was two more days. "Now Sasuke, you know what to do."

'Oh I hate you so much.' Sasuke twitched while he glared at Naruto for he managed to get himself out of this situation thanks to all the havoc and discord he had caused. 'Seriously… Now all the attention is on me! DAMMIT!'

"Come on Sasuke-sama!" Naruto cooed just to irritate the Shinigami and his volumes of fan girls. "You can do it! Can't you?!"

"That's it… You're dead Hollow!" Sasuke screamed and drew his zanpakuto and instantly was on Naruto, who brought his blade up to block the Uchiha's swing.

And Naruto just grinned at him as their swords scrapped against one another before he leaned over and whispered in the Uchiha's ear. "See… It is so much easier to get out things when you introduce a little disorder, wouldn't you say?"

"Stop trying corrupt me!" Sasuke put more effort into his swing and knocked Naruto back and slid him into a desk.

Without hesitation he rushed forward only to be greeted by a foot to his chin and being knocked slightly back. However before he could put up a defense Naruto had placed a single finger against his chest that was glowing red before the Hollow King whispered in his ear once more. "I would back off, Shinigami King. Wouldn't want to have to explain to Kami why you are back so soon?"

Growling in his throat, not wanting to back down an inch from the foul beast before him, Sasuke decided to play it safe for now. He didn't want to be revealed just yet. He would obey the laws of this village just like he expected his Shinigami to follow his laws.

"Don't push yourself, Naruto." Sasuke grunted as he smacked away Naruto's finger and glared at him for his smug grin. "Your way doesn't always work, just remember that."

"Detention for both of you!" Iruka called out as he now decided to get in between them due to the fact that now they weren't engaged in deadly combat… And he really didn't want to get in the way of one of those red laser beams of Naruto's.

He valued his life, and death wasn't on his "To Do" list just right now. That was the last thing on his list.

Sasuke looked like was about to defend himself saying Naruto brought it upon himself when he noticed one thing. That smug grin hadn't left the damn Hollow's face! He planned this!

The bastard…

He would get him back for that. Two could play this game.

<The Hollow King>

The next day came and mostly everyone was nervous about passing today. All except for the two most obvious figures in the class. It also didn't help that the academy was painted orange and blue as they arrived and Mizuki was stuck on the flag pole…

With the medics try to get the pole removed from his ass.

Naruto simply whistled a very happy tone as he sharpened his claws.

Sasuke responded with a glare as usual and a twitch in his left eye.

Everyone else just gave the two of them a wide birth from the killing intent the Uchiha was directing towards the Hollow while Naruto… He just looked plain frightening with that devilish grin of his.

"Oh… Uchiha-sama? Do you need something?" Naruto finally acted like he just noticed that Sasuke was glaring at him and responded with his usual sickeningly sweet voice that filled with an underlining venom directed towards Sasuke.

"Are you quite finished, Uzumaki?" Sasuke spoke with a calm tone and repressed any spiritual pressure he was oozing out to make sure no would notice his change outside of his clothing. "Or are you going to continue with this foolishness? Because if that is so…"

"Your threats me nothing to me." Naruto shrugged his shoulders and continued to file his claws all the while ignoring the increase of pressure coming from Sasuke. "Restrain yourself if you would please. I don't think you want others to know, now do you?!"

The Shinigami King growled. This Hollow before him testing him at every turn! Even if he hadn't directly attacked him without provocation he had been doing in indirectly. There were attacks on his beliefs, his character! And worst of all!

He was trying to reason with him that his way of life was the better option!

Sasuke swore he would show him the truth before this was over.

"You're getting a little full of yourself!" One of Sasuke's nameless fangirls came to his aid, somehow being unaffected by the killing intent emanating from the two Kings. "You are just a dead last… A sore loser that can never measure up…"

"Cero." Naruto casually pointed a finger towards the girl before the red energy focused on his finger tip and the focused beam blasted by the girl. "Now what was that you were saying? I couldn't quite hear you!"

The said fangirl had frozen as the Cero had ripped through the desk before her incinerating what it made contact with before simply passing by her head. However she was quite sure the explosion behind her wasn't a good thing at all and to think that could have hit her!

And then there was this monstrous feeling all around her. It was terrible… Like all the happiness in the world had left and in its place there was despair and hopelessness. And now that she looked upon Naruto… It was no longer the Uzumaki she was staring at.

It was this horrible white beast… And in it's clutches…

WAS HER SOUL!

A thud result in her body collapsing on the floor and slowly a small puddle of urine began to form around her thighs.

Everyone froze at what had just happened, including Iruka who had just arrived to oversee the exams. While they did not get the full force of what he had done, they sure felt the killing pressure he had placed upon her. A few of the weaker students had also passed out while mostly everyone else was forced onto their knees, Iruka included.

The only other standing was Sasuke and he had now drawn his sword and was upon Naruto once more. However this time the Hollow King simply caught the blade with no difficulty as he stayed seated in his chair. "Please take me seriously, Uchiha-sama. The amount of power you currently are releasing isn't enough to match mine. Are you still holding back because of your so called 'ethics'?"

Without much effort, Naruto threw Sasuke to the side and into the wall. Sasuke simply recovered and landed against it. "There was no need for what you did! A light reprimand would have sufficed!"

"Yet would that make sure she would do the same in later encounters? I think not. I made her an example of how you should not act to me, or anyone at that matter!" Naruto countered with an edge in his voice as he slowly stood from his seat and his cerulean gaze focused into Sasuke's now red eyes.

Naruto would note that for later. If Sasuke was still able to wield the Sharingan, even if it wasn't anywhere as useful as it was once was, it was something to explore. What else could be replicated with their spiritual energy?

"And by that token, I will be making an example out of you…" Sasuke started before his eyes widened as Naruto had appeared before him with a grin on his face.

"Oh? And how pray tell are you going to do that?" Naruto spoke loudly enough for everyone to hear before he move closer to Sasuke and whispered. "Just remember it will take you to reveal everything you have to do that, Shinigami."

Gritting his teeth, knowing that what Naruto said was the truth, Sasuke narrowed his eyes but held his gaze firm with Naruto's. "You are being too reckless… However, I wonder how Kami-sama will take it when you can't even fulfill your own end of the deal and keep it mild. I always thought you were a man of your word."

"And I am." Naruto grinned as his body shivered with anticipation, feeling his opponent's barriers were slipping. "I am being mild… For a hollow that is."

"You're doing this in spite of me?!" Sasuke growled out at this revelation while staying just silent so that others would not hear him.

Not that they really could. They were being held down by their spiritual pressure and were fighting just to be able to breath at the moment. In fact it looked like they weren't even moving…

"Maybe." Naruto simply shrugged before he leaned back and calmed his demeanor. "However I think you need to take a step back to look at your so called beliefs. Is what I did to her really a crime? No harm came from it and she will now realize her place… Is not to decide what places others have."

Shrugging his shoulders again, the Arrancar turned his back on the Shinigami and slowly began to trot away. "Just think about it… Who are we to really decide on who's right or wrong? Who are we to decide what is good and evil? Who are we to decide what is black and white? One's actions must not be looked at by a narrow-minded set of eyes but instead by a person who sees the whole story and keeps an open mind to everything."

"Oh, and it seems Kami-sama gave us an ability so we can have our own little chit-chats without disturbing anyone." The Hollow King grinned while spitting out Kami's name in disgust before finally snapping his fingers.

And just like that everyone began to move once more, their eyes still focused onto Naruto who immediately went back to filing his claws.

Realizing that somehow they had the ability to stop time yet were unable to interact with anything other then one another, probably a safety measure Kami gave them so they would be able to speak to another without spilling critical information, Sasuke immediately appeared back at his original spot with Shunpo and glared at Naruto. "We'll deal with this later… Dead last."

"Yeah, sure thing Uchiha-sama." Naruto mock saluted with his grin on full display, sailing from ear to ear.

Sasuke twitched at this while an Anbu dropped down to help the girl, who was most likely ordered to stay near Naruto to clean up his messes, and took her away after a quick water jutsu to clean the urine from the floor. And then there was the other Anbu who simply repaired the damages done the academy by growing a wooden structure from the ground.

The Uchiha simply rolled his eyes. Of course Yamato would have to be part of Naruto's clean up crew. Who else could repairs walls and any other damages Naruto could deal out quickly?

Quickly reaching his seat, deciding that sitting next to Naruto now at least had its advantages, he sat next to the Arrancar. He glared at him for a moment before shaking his head. For now it would be best to ignore the Hollow since he had a level head on his shoulders and wouldn't do anything too drastic.

Besides, he had a few things to think about…

Damn the Hollow next to him for being so insightful!

<The Hollow King>

Everything so far had gone to plan. The tests today were boring and he was finding it difficult to sit around and look fascinated by his claws and sword.

It was getting so hard not to just get up and go find wherever Kabuto was and beheading him, eliminating one odd end that Kami did not originally account for. Or at least just get out and cause some go old fashioned chaos… Or even wandering around, finding a nice girl, woo her and then end up next to her in the sack smoking a cigarette.

"Note to self… When I have my license, I'm buying a few packs of menthols." Naruto grumbled as at least the drags would give him something to do while being bored.

Blowing smoke rings was at least entertaining when you could make a fox head out of them.

Finally he managed to fail the clone jutsu, not hard considering how he wasn't able to even use the technique. Sasuke managed to pass and found using those magic spells Shinigami possessed to somehow at least make it appear that he knew how to use the Cloning Jutsu.

And with that his plan was in motion to take care of this traitor. …For there was nothing better to do anyways and messing with Mizuki was fun.

He was just surprised the man was so resilient. Not only did he bathed him in near boiling tar before sticking the feathers on him, he beat the living hell out of him twice (once today) and then shoved him on top of the flag pole like a fancy pencil eraser. And now here he was, in quite a few bandages, but doing far better then he should be.

Was Tsunade in town or something? There was no other way this guy should have been able to get up any time soon after what he put him through.

"Hey Naruto… Sorry about Iruka but he was following the normal protocol." Mizuki said as he joined him and sat on the other side of the roofs edge, watching the kids slowly trickle out of the building. "It must be hard… Being able to not use chakra any more. I never knew such a horrible blood curse existed."

Ignoring his fist instinct and saying 'Hell No! Chakra sucks ass!', Naruto sighed and moped just as a kid in his position would. "I still just can't believe it… It wasn't even earlier this week that I was able to use and now it just… I don't think I can continue on like this… Being a ninja was all I ever wanted."

Applauding his acting, rating it first class, Naruto had schooled his emotions so he wouldn't start to crack as Mizuki bit the bait for he utterly believed his sorrow. "You know… There is another test. We had to give a different test last year due to one of the kids was unable to wield chakra, just like you."

Staying in his role, not that hard seeing that he used Naruto almost began bouncing in place as he looked over at the bandaged Mizuki. "Really?! Really?! Are you serious?! I would do anything to take that test! I do whatever it takes to become a ninja, believe it!"

"I know you do… So that is why I want to say this first. You cannot tell anyone else about this test for this will be a test of your espionage and your infiltration skills. It defeats the purpose… Also if you are caught you cannot say I sent you on this test when they're interrogating you, otherwise you will fail." Mizuki warmly smiled before giving the warning.

"Don't worry about a thing sensei! I won't say a word and finish test without getting caught! I promise it!" The Hollow King mentally rolled his eyes, wanting to gag from the words coming out of his mouth.

HOW IN THE HELL WAS HIS PAST SELF SO NAIVE?!

"Good… Now listen closely…" Mizuki grinned as everything was going to plan and soon he would know power unlike anything before.

Too bad for him he didn't get the notice the Sandaime had sent out to all high level shinobi, possibly being the reason he didn't receive the notice.

Naruto was the Hollow King, a being that far surpassed Kyuubi.

Mizuki's bad day was going to get worse. He had no clue what was about to hit him.

<The Hollow King>

"I swear I'm forgetting something." Naruto scratched his chin as he now was waiting for Mizuki. "There was something about this event I'm forgetting… Something really important."

After a few more moments of scratching his chin, Naruto undid the scroll and laid it out before him. He wasn't interested in the jutsu for they were useless to him… However the seals and any other knowledge were good for him to know. After all…

Knowledge was a great weapon.

"You need something, Shinigami?" The Arrancar spoke out since he knew the Uchiha had been there for about a minute now.

"Just going over the scroll as are you." Sasuke grunted as he appeared with a Shunpo behind Naruto, having remembered Naruto having told him about this certain event in his past life. "While I don't agree with you stealing it again… It gets me out of having to convince the Hokage to allow me access to it."

Naruto grinned that devilish grin he had, which now began to make the Sasuke worry for just the look on his face creeped him out. "Ah… So it seems that you do approve of methods! At least those that benefit you that is!"

Drawing his zanpakuto, Sasuke had his sword at the Arrancar's throat. "Watch what you say to me, Hollow. No one is watching us here so I don't have to hold back and can uphold my people's laws."

"Whatever you say, Sasuke-sama." Naruto pushed away the blade as he continued to scan through the scroll, looking for every bit of important information it possessed.

Growling as he sheathed his blade, the Uchiha's eyes narrowed. "How long are you going to continue using that moniker to insult me?"

"Until it no longer gets under your skin." Naruto responded looking pleased with himself as Sasuke fumed. "Despite all those years you spent with thousands if not millions of others… Only I'm still able to get past that stone cold facade you possess. And that just pisses you off, doesn't it!"

"Enough of this… Someone is approaching. Time for me to leave." Sasuke growled as he sensed two figures approaching quickly.

But inside he was shaken once more. Despite all the time that passed and even in their few encounters, it was the truth. Only he could get under his skin. He dealt with many eccentric and annoying people over the last four thousand years, yet not a single one of them was able to get an annoyed grunt from him.

Yet still to this day four thousand years later…

Naruto could.

AND IT PISSED HIM OFF!

Sasuke disappeared with the Shunpo and not a moment later it was Iruka that burst from the foliage to find Naruto at the shack. "Naruto! What in the world are you thinking?! Why would you steal the scroll like that?! You knew you were going to pass anyways! The Hokage made it law already!"

"Duh, but he didn't know that and thought to take advantage of me because of it." Naruto pointed over to where Mizuki had just arrived with a windmill shuriken but looked somewhat surprised that Naruto seemed to already know. "Oh don't give me that, Mizuki-sensei! I'm not an idiot and that was the worst attempt of manipulation I've ever seen! The only way that works is when you play on someone that is truly in an emotional upheaval!"

"Why you little bastard?!" Mizuki growled out and threw his massive shuriken towards the Arrancar. "Die you abomination!"

Raising his hand towards it, Naruto easily caught the weapon and crushed the core in his hand before tossing it to the side. Mizuki was momentarily surprised at what had transpired while Iruka's kind figured that would happen after seeing Naruto's power first hand. "Huh… For some reason I feel like something else should have happened there."

"Like what? You thought Iruka was going to jump in the way? HA! He hates you too much for that, demon!" Mizuki growled out as he quickly got over his shock and attested it to being luck and a bad shuriken. "But hey, listen! Do you want to know why everyone hates you so much?! I feel gracious enough to tell me since you actually did get the Forbidden Scroll for me!"

"No Mizuki! That's illegal!" Iruka tried to stop his old friend from making a grave sin. Sure attacking a fellow leaf ninja, even though he didn't have his headband on yet, was a felony on its own but this was a S-rank felony! "Don't do it!"

Seeing Naruto simply shrug, because Naruto just didn't care and already knew, Mizuki grinned as he would take pleasure in tearing down the blonde Arrancar… Not that he knew what he was. "It because the Kyuubi wasn't defeat twelve years ago like the history books said the great beast was! Instead the Fourth did something else… He sealed it away!"

"He sealed the beast into a young boy, you! He turned the mighty demon into a young child so that we could all take out our anger and frustrations onto you! If it only weren't for that blasted Sandaime we would have ended your life the moment you were born, Kyuubi! That is why you are treated so badly!" Mizuki began to laugh at the plight of the boy before it died on his lips seeing that it wasn't.

Now he was confused as the boy didn't even look the least bit phased by this information. Even Iruka blinked as Naruto didn't show anything other then the same uncaring attitude he had seen him offer all day. Then all of a sudden he held up one finger. "First thing, you're a moron and you got facts twisted somehow."

"Secondly, that logic doesn't make any sense since my mother was the previous vessel of Kyuubi and she wasn't treated with the slightest amount of disrespect… For the fox at least." Naruto stated in a matter of fact type of matter, shocking both chunin for he knew of his lineage and apparently knew his mother was a former demon vessel which happened to be something neither knew. "And finally… Yeah, I already knew."

"What?! Who could have told you?! It was against the law!" Mizuki screamed as he wanted to be the one to torment him and hold it over the fox-boy's head despite what he said being an oxymoron since he had planned on being the one to break the said law.

However he should have noted the insane smirk that was plastered on Naruto's face. "Oh I don't know… Your mom maybe!"

Mizuki went from being pissed to a calmed fury as his right eye twitched and he grabbed the second massive shuriken on his back. "My mother's dead, demon."

"Oh she, by all means, was when we started, but she was more alive then she ever was when I finished!" Naruto gloated and provoke Mizuki further.

"THAT IT! FUCKING DIE YOU ABOMINATION FROM HELL!" Mizuki screeched and flung the windmill shuriken with all of his might.

And it ended in the same fashion previous as Naruto caught it, crushed it and then tossed it away. "I believe you already said that… And I believe…"

Grabbing Mizuki's right arm by the wrist as he tried to stab a kunai into his temple, Mizuki's eyes widened before he scream out in pain. His forearm snapped it two like a twig and he was forced onto his knees. Yet it was far from over.

Naruto simply grinned as his other fist began to glow red as he placed it against Mizuki's opposite shoulder seeing the shock at how easily he was stopped. "This fight is already over. Bala."

Blood splattered onto Naruto's face as the beam utterly obliterated Mizuki's shoulder, severing his arm in the process. The silver haired chunin fell to the ground in agony while yelling out before he was finally silenced to a kick to the face from Naruto, being just light enough to knock him out instead.

Seeing his job done, the Arrancar took the man's headband before placing it around his neck. Adjusting it slightly so it would be tilted to the left, the blonde gazed over at Iruka and noted the man was frightened at what he saw.

That was acceptable. He hardly even showed a fraction of his true power.

"The traitor is now both disarmed and unconscious. Take him to his cell to be treated before interrogated please. I will return the scroll to the Hokage and report to him what has transpired." Naruto stated as he picked up and rolled the said scroll and placed it on his shoulder.

And in an instant he was gone and Iruka wasn't sure what to do other than somehow get Mizuki to prison. However there was one thing he was sure of.

This was the same Naruto he had grown to know… This was something far more sinister because he had seen the glint in his eyes when he blew off Mizuki's arm. He enjoyed it. It was as if… As if…

He had become what everyone had been calling him all this time.

Naruto was truly a demon now.

And there wasn't a damn thing Konoha could do about it.

<The Hollow King>

A/N: There is yet another chapter for my patient readers… Even though this was another quick update! However I got to say I was somewhat disappoint on the lack of reviews last chapter but hey, can't complain. This chapter hopefully will make up for that!

This was kind of just to move on and the next chapter will be how Kakashi reacts to the two Kings before we finally get into the Wave Country. Just what surprises await the scarecrow…? And how much is Naruto going to torture him?! You will soon find out.

So stay tune for next time as that chapter will probably be out soon! Peace Out!
