Warnings: This is a sequel to the fiction crossover "Monsters with Souls" featuring Naruto and Bleach. If you haven't read the first story please do so before reading this story picks up right where I left off. 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.

Twenty One - calm before the storm

After changing Nagato's mind about attacking the leaf village, both Ichigo and Naruto headed back with the three Akatsuki members. They had told both Sasuke and Gaara mentally to alert everyone in the village that these members of the Akatsuki were on their side. Shukaku was worried as he has never seen Kyuubi loose his cool before.

*Nope..... That was all Naruto. Seeing someone that you love and care for killed before your eyes is bound to bring out the worst within you.*

*Yeah in more ways than one. We were almost barely able to snap him out of it.* stated Shiro.

*I am just glad that while I was enraged that I didn't hurt anyone or destroy the village.* Naruto stated mentally as he shuttered to think about how bad it could have been.

*Don't worry Kit. No matter how close you come to lose control, you will always have people to pull you back.* stated Kyuubi.

*He's right Naru. Even though your parents' chakra isn't within you any more, you still have me here to pull you back from the brink of insanity. Because I know that you would do the same for me.* stated Ichigo.

When Ichigo and Naruto entered into the village, they were given a hero's welcome. It brought tears of joy to Naruto's face as he knew how some of these people viewed him as. Naruto could could see Hinata running up to him. Naruto caught her as she wrapped her arms around the Jinchuriki hugging him close.

"Hinata are you all right? Have your wounds been fully healed? Did I hurt you while I was.....?" Hinata stopped Naruto's questions by giving him a full on aggressive kiss to the lips. Naruto moaned softly melting into Hinata's kiss. The two broke apart when the need for air grew.

"I am fine Naruto. But you had me worried especially when I saw you go into a six tails state because of Kyuubi." Naruto rested his forehead against Hinata's as his lips quivered almost afraid to ask her if she thought that he was a monster. Hinata could almost sense Naruto's distress as she hugged him tighter. "You are not a monster Naruto. It is thanks to you and Kyuubi that everyone is safe." she whispered softly into Naruto's ear. Hinata's words caused Naruto to break down into tears.

After everything was said and over with, the three Arrancars decided to head back to Hueco Mundo to prepare for the upcoming war. Before they left Urahara gave them a soul pager in order to contact the group for when Aizen and Madara decided to make their move. The Shinigami also were going to head back to prepare as well. Isshin offered to bring their human allies home to Karakura.

"Thanks dad. Naruto and I may stay a while here before we leap back. This maybe the last time that I get to spend with him and the people here in the leaf village." stated Ichigo. Isshin nodded his head that he understood. Ichigo kissed his girlfriend whispering into her ear that he would see her later. Sanji opened up a senkaimon leading the Shinigami and humans from Karakura back home. Once the senkaimon closed, Ichigo proceeded to start taking off his leaf headband that was tied around his arm but, he was stopped by Tsunade.
