Monsters with souls

30- training journey

Warnings: This is a fan fiction crossover featuring Naruto and Bleach. In no way shape or form do I own the series and/or its characters. This story however is an original idea that I have had for a while now and decided that it is time that I got around to writing it. Some of the characters may seem a bit OCC so please don't hate me for it!

Chapter 30- training journey

After the trip to the Seireitei to find out Aizen's plans to create the Oken in order to become the soul king and the Akatsuki's ties into the whole thing, both Ichigo and Naruto headed back to the Kurosaki clinic to plan. Yoruichi was going to help train the two to achieve their full power with their zanpakuto's. When they got to Naruto's home dimension, they planned to seek out the pervy sage. That night at dinner they told the Kurosaki family about what happened. They talked about the chunin exams, meeting another Jinchuriki like Naruto, the attack on the leaf, the Ataksuki, killing Orochimaru, and Aizen's plans. After a long moment of silence, Karin slammed her hands down onto the table.

"I can't believe that bastard!" snarled Karin.

"Karin..... language!" scolded Isshin.

"Sorry dad." stated Karin.

"Don't worry Karin. Aizen and the Akatsuki won't get away with their plans. No matter what we will stop them." stated Ichigo.

"That's right Karin. We aren't alone in this fight as I know that every Soul Reaper, Jinchuriki, and ninja will help us stop them." added Naruto.

"You both have to promise that you'll be careful." Yuzu cried. Both teens rose to their feet hugging Yuzu.

"We promise that we will Yuzu." they both stated in unison.

"When do you two plan to start this training?" asked Isshin. Ichigo walked over to a nearby calendar looking at the dates. Between the constant travel between two dimensions, both were time lagged. Ichigo noticed that summer break was going to begin before the new school year.

"Summer break seems like the safe bet. If we aren't back before the new school year, Kon and Kurama can take our place." stated Ichigo.

"What about you Naruto? What is going to happen when the dimesions have been stabilized and the threat is over?" asked Isshin. Naruto sighed running his hands through his blond locks.

"I don't know. Possibly I will leave this dimension to live back where I originally come from. I appreciate everything you all have done for me as I can never repay you all for everything you have done to help me." Yuzu broke down into tears with the news that Naruto wouldn't be around anymore. "Please don't cry Yuzu. I never truly belong here. Besides I have a dream that I want to achieve back home. I want to become Hokage over the leaf village. I can't do that if I remain in this realm." Naruto stated.

"I know...... it's just I am going to really miss you Naruto when you're gone. You're a very important part of our family as no one can ever replace you." cried Yuzu. Karin tried to be strong but she couldn't hide the tears that were in her eyes. Naruto got up hugging both Karin and Yuzu.

"I know....... I am going to hold onto these memories forever. You guys have done more for me when no one else would. You don't know how much it means to me that you guys were willing to open up both your hearts and home to me. I will always treasure everything you have done to help me never carrying about where I came from or what I hold inside of me. Even when you guys learned the truth, you never treated me any differently." Naruto stated as tears began to form in his eyes. Within his mindscape it began to rain as even the great demon fox Kyuubi was crying.
