Chapter 3 Gathering the Kool Crew

"Hello? Mr. Urahara?"

"How may I help you, Mrs.......?" Kiske Urahara trailed off looking for the "young" woman's name

"I am Rukia Kuchiki" somewhere in the store you could faintly hear a feline like laugh.

"Ahhh, a special customer. What would you like to purchase?"

"I would like 2 Chappy the bunnies please"

"I'm so sorry I don't get another shipment for a weak. All I have right now is this" Kiske holds up a duck like PEZ dispenser.

"This will suffice for now thank you sir"

"stop by any time" said the blond men wearing a green striped hat, green coat, and old fashioned clogs on his feet, "there was still residual parts of that spiritual pressure from the other day, could it really be Isshin's kid with all that power?" "Yoruichi, did you feel that residual power?"

"Yes I did" answered a distinctly male voice that came from a black cat, "I can defiantly tell it's not Isshin's son, it seems to mature for him. It also looks as it has been completely tamed. Ichigo on the other hand has not training with controlling his power, so he is continually leaking power. This seems to be a steady, controlled flow. Also it seems to remain constant throughout the day."

"So we can assume that the owner of tis power is in full control of it and knows what to do with it?"

"Yes, I am going to go track it and figure out what it is and its intent"

"Ok, just be safe"

Next Day (this is the day all of the stuff with Kon happens, so just think of that in the background)

"Huh, this weird presence is following me around now, I guess I'll let it into the office and talk with it. Somehow I have a feeling that Ero-Sensei set something like this up from beyond the grave" though Naruto.

(Somewhere beyond the grave)

Achoooooooo, "who the hell could be talking about me? Huh, let's see, oh man, hey guys, anyone see Naruto?" after a few minutes of searching, "good that means that we can go screw with him! All aboard the haunting train!"

(Back with Naruto)

"Why do I feel cold all of a sudden, whatever" Naruto walked to his office as to let his little stalker follow him into the room. Soon our favorite feline walked through the door only to have it sealed shut to prevent her from getting away, "so little cat, you got anything to say?"

"How long did you know I was following you?"

"Since I felt you outside my window last night"

"This guy is unreal, no one should be able to sense me like this", "wait, and you're not freaked out by a talking cat?"

"No, I can talk to toads"

"Ummmmm, okay?" Yoruich sweat dropped, "that makes no sense"

"Neither does the fact that you are currently hiding your power and are transformed into a male cat, my lady"

"Holy shit, this guy is inhuman, is like, Sherlock Holmes or something?", "how did you guess who I was?"

"Well, when I felt ichigo's powers awaken, I felt similar powers all over the city and I followed it back to a candy shop. Inside was 2 men, 1 boy, and 1 one girl. Then I looked at the rooms, 3 I could easily identify as male and 2 as female. I then figured out that a woman must live there as well. I also picked up your sent and I started to smell it again when you came in the room, that's how I do bra"

"Holy crap, this is some next level shit" Yoruichi panicked.

"Haaaahaaaa, man I'm not going to do anything to you, I know you are investigating the flare of power from the other day..... What the hell is Ichigo doing? Ahhh I see, that's not really Ichigo, it feels different, and it has more physical energy then spiritual energy"

"He can sense that from this difference?", "so, who are you exactly?"

"I have many names, well my name is Naruto Uzumaki, the current Sage of the Six Paths, Jinchuricki of the 10 tails, or Juubi, and a bad ass extraordinaire, at your service."

"Why do those title sound familiar? Ahhhh I'm going to drive myself crazy thinking about this now"

"My birth place is a village called the Village hidden in the Leaves"

"Holy crap this is ringing some bells!"

"And I possess the ultimate eyes, the Rinnagan"

"Oh shit now I remember, this is one of God's 'enforcers' on earth, and now, I am completely screwed"

"So, what about you?"

"I am Yoruichi Shihoin, former captain of the Stealth Force and the 2nd Division"

"Those sound like prestigious titles, so my I ask why are you here"

"I helped some fugitives escape from the Central 46's 'justice'"

"This sounds like the Citizen Council back in the Village Hidden in the Leaves, they were corrupt and they didn't give two shits about everyone else"

"I can see the similarities, so will you like to right a 100 year wrong?"

"Sure, I got nothing better to do, but I have one condition, I want to create an apprentice"

"Do you have anyone in mind?"

"Oh yah, and I want you to sit in on the training sessions, to see what an ancient shinobi can do"

"I'm game, when do you start the training"

"Tonight, I'll call my candidate for my apprentice"
