When I awoke from my prolonged rest my body and head had been wrapped up in white bandages. I had been treated for my injuries while I was out cold. I knew Ichigo was strong but i never expected him to be that strong. Just how was he moving so quickly? And what was that immense pressure i felt after my back had been sliced? "So you're finally awake then" kisuke said while sliding the door open. "You've had plenty of rest now so you should be fine"
Thanks. Hey, green man." I said curiously. "Just how is Ichigo so strong?"
"He's strong; because he has to be." Kisuke replied giving me a serious look. The look he gave me sent a shiver down my spine, i could tell how serious he was. Just what kind of things does Ichigo have to face? I mean, i know he has to fight those hollow things but, to have that much power just to fight them? I don't understand. "Hey green man, I bet Ichigo must be the most powerful being in this world huh?" I asked, pulling a big cheesy smile while doing so. "No. Not by far Naruto..." Kisuke replied in a sinister tone. As i stared at him saying those words, it terrified me. How could there possibly be anyone stronger than him? I mean, i'm a very strong shinobi, probably one of the strongest and i didn't even stand a chance against him. Probably the only way i would be able to fight Ichigo is if i use the kyubi's powers and i don't think that's a very wise idea. After that Kisuke proceeded to tell me about the current war taking place and about Aizen. I could tell that Ichigo was under a lot of pressure. "Well, I had better get training then!" I said while smashing my fist against my palm. "I'm gonna help Ichigo and the rest of you out while i'm here. Now, lets get back to training." After i finished, a smile broke on kisukes face. "I was hoping you'd say that" Kisuke mischievously said. With this he hit his cane on the ground and the floor beneath me broke. I plummeted to the lower floor, smashing into the ground with a great thud. As I looked up to the hole I fell from i saw kisuke looking down at me. "Naruto, you must learn to harness the power of that weapon you found in the cave, It resides deep in side you and you must learn to wield this power."Suddenly, kisuke jumped through the hole and smashed into the ground. A dust cloud surrounded his legs as he placed his left hand in the center of his cane and his right hand on the top of his cane. Gripping his cane with his right hand he pulled slowly un-sheathing his hidden blade, Benihime. This was going to be a piece of cake after all, he's an old man. I cracked a smile and in that brief moment he disappeared. "Don't take me lightly..." Kisuke whispered in my ear from behind. My eyes widened as i turned around and saw a menacing look on his face. I felt a large forceful object press into my back as was sent flying a great distance. "As a ninja, you should know to never let your guard down or underestimate your opponent." Kisuke yelled. "I'm going to push you too your limits Naruto, only then will you be able to call upon the power that you seek."
I got up from my tumble holding my sides since i could still feel the effects from my fight with Ichigo. I made many shadow clones and sent them to charge at kisuke. Kisuke effortlessly began taking down the shadow clones one by one when suddenly six large shuriken become inches away from kisuke's face. In a quick tactical move i left a couple shadow clones behind to throw shuriken just when the time was right. In stead of blocking them he decided the majestically evade them and continue to fight the shadow clones. Little did he know the three of those shuriken weren't actually shuriken. One of them was me, the real Naruto, and two of them were shadow clones. While still flying through the air we quickly began to form a Rasenshuriken and launched it at kisuke's back. An explosion occurs after colliding with kisuke wiping out all shadow clones around him. As the visual effects of the Rasenshuriken dissipate kisuke was still standing. His sword placed behind his back with a hexagonal-shaped crimson barrier on the front of the blade which had blocked the special move.
"Huh, You're going to have to try better than that if you're to defeat me, Naruto!"
A/N: There will be a part two posted soon showing the rest of the fight which will include Naruto's growth due to kisuke's training.
