Beginning Of An End

Bleach

Let’s stop the pendulum.

A night has passed. Urahara wakes up to see Shinji who’s face is covered by his mask. Shinji is not moving.

Urahara apologises to Tessai for failing to cure them. Urahara goes outside for some fresh air but is met by the central 46 law enforcement. They are there to arrest him.

He is summoned for interrogation and asked where he was last night. He is asked if he was experimenting on hollowification.

Central 46 suspects that Urahara while in the forrest attempted to use 8 vice captain/captain level shinigami in an evil hollowification experiment. (Perhaps they were told this by Aizen).

Urahara tells them that it was Aizen who did it and that he was simply trying to help them. However Aizen has 124 general shinigami and 1 captain confirm that he wasn’t at the scene the night before.

Also, during the investigation there was a report claiming the discovery of hollowification research going on at the 12th division.

Also, Tessai has been sentenced to serve in the third underground prison for using a forbidden technique.

For doing taboo research and experimenting on his fellow shinigami resulting in them being heavily injured, Urahara is sentenced to exile in the living world for eternity.

They then announce that the shinigami who are victims of this experiment will be strictly disposed of as hollows.

When Urahara is about to object Yoruichi who has her face covered by a cloth kidnaps both of them and takes them away to the hiding place near sougyoku.

Yoruichi has already transported the 8 shinigami (vizards) and the new gigai that has been being developed.

After listening to Shinji for a while Urahara decides they are in the worst situation possible and thinks of the best way to deal with it.
Urahara asks Tessai to use Jikantenshi one more time to create a barrier, he will then create 10 gigai for himself, Tessai, Shinji and the rest within 20 hours. Urahara vows to hide himself and spend his time finding a way to get rid of the hollowification.

The scene changes to Shinji and co in the current day.

In the same warehouse, Shinji says that Urahara said there has been no miscalculation and that is the first miscalculation.
He says that everything has come to the worst possible scenario as expected.

Shinji “For real, I am indebted to Urahara…. and then Aizen also.”

It finishes with someone saying “let’s go” and then the Vizards leave the warehouse.

Naruto

Naruto: “You send him?”
Sai and Sakura look at Naruto.
Tsunade: “That’s right”
Naruto: “Why did you allowed something like this! Why did you let him went to that dangerous place alone…”
Kakashi: “Stop it Naruto. You don’t understand what Fifth already feel…”
Tsunades flashback
Naruto: “Damn!”
Sakura: “Naruto! Where are you going?!”
*naruto whining*

Naruto goes outside
Kakashi apologies before frogs, but frog says he likes Naruto and thinks he’s child of prophecy.

Outside.

Naruto walks and remember Jiraiya.

“Hey, Naruto!”
Naruto: “!”
Iruka sensei appears and invite Naruto to ramen ()
Naruto: “No…” ()

Naruto’s house at night.
He decides to walk outside.

He sees people seating on bench eating ice-cream. It melts.
Naruto falls down in tears.
Comes Iruka-sensei.
Jiraiya recognized you as excellent pupil… bla-bla

Next day Tsunade ask Shikamaru to decipher code.

Then Tsunade remembers how she met Jiraiya for the first time, and start to cry “Idiot…”

Naruto 404

Page 1:
Title: “Hawk” and “Akatsuki”
Text: Akatsuki also experiences a new development!

Tobi: Kisame-senpai, I need to talk to you about something…

Kisame: Zetsu already came by to bother me, now you?
I thought you were dead, Tobi.

I guess you’re the last one…
I’m sorry for deceiving you for so long, especially since you were closest to him.

Page 2:
Kisame: Aaaaaaah ha.

So YOU’RE “Tobi“…I never would’ve guessed.

Well, this puts me at ease. With you pulling the strings, it’ll be much easier for me to move about,
Mizukage-sama…or rather, Madara-san.

Madara: I’m counting on you, Kisame.

Page 3:
SFX: Knock knock

Naruto: Buh-…Wha…Kakashi-sensei?
Kakashi: The Fifth needs to see you, Naruto.

Naruto: Huh?
The Boss Toad and Gamakichi?

Gamakichi: what’s shakin’, Naruto?

Page 4:
Naruto: What’re you guys doing out so early?
Something happen?

Gamakichi: Yeah-
Bunta: Gamakichi! Keep yer trap shut!
The Head & Tsunade‘ll tell ‘em!

Naruto: …The heck was that about?
Kakashi: Just hurry up.

Page 5:
SFX: Clack

Page 6:
Pa: So this here boy’s Jiraiya-chan’s pupil?

Tsunade: Yes, this is Uzumaki Naruto.
The “Destined Child,” I suppose.

Naruto: …A Grandpa frog, now?
What gives?

Tsunade: Watch your tone, Naruto!
This is one of the Great Head Hermits of Myouboku Mountain, Fukasaku-sama!
He came all the way here to talk to YOU!

Pa: Head Hermit TOADS, if ya wanna get all formal.
Anyways, yer Jiraiya-chan’s pupil, yeah?

Page 7:
Naruto: …chan?
CHAN?
What, do you think the perverted hermit’s YOUR summoned animal?
The hell’s this wrinkly old frog’s problem!

Tsunade: I said WATCH YOUR mOUTH!
Shizune: He’s Jiraiya-sama’s teacher, a great and wise figure who taught him Hermit-style ninjutsu!

Pa: HAHAHA…perverted hermit!
Ya got the same attitude as yer master, kiddo!

Naruto: All right, old…toad…what’d you wanna tell me?

Pa: Where do I start…
Guess I’d better just say it…

Page 8:
Pa: Jiraya-chan was killed in battle.

Naruto: …Huh?

Page 9:
Naruto: Wh-..what’re you saying…

Page 10:
SFX: Sit

Page 11:
Madara: So you want to destroy the Leaf, but do you have an actual plan?

Sasuke: We eliminate the elder.
That’s all I’ve come up with.

Kisame: When you strike at the top, they shield themselves with the bottom.
It’s not that easy.
You “Hawk” kids are still too inexperienced for this.

Suigetsu: Don’t overlook us, Kisame-senpai.
We still haven’t finished our little “game.”
Juugo: Enough, Suigetsu.

Suigetsu: Hmph.
SFX: Dash

Page 12:
SFX: Whoosh

SFX: CLANG

Madara: Sasuke, will you rein in your subordinates, please?

Suigetsu: He blocked me with just his ARM?

Karin: Suigetsu are you INSANE?! This isn’t the time-
Suigetsu: I’m after his sword, the Samehada!
That’s the only reason I went with Sasuke!

Page 13:
Juugo: Well, Sasuke?
Sasuke: Right…
Suigetsu, do what you want.
You can’t beat him yet, anyways.

Kisame: Haha…”Yet,” eh?
SFX: Grin

Suigetsu: Whatever, Sasuke.
You’ll apologize when I’m treating you to shark fin soup later.

Madara: At any rate, Akatsuki is currently lacking in numbers and capability.
SFX: Shink

Suigetsu: Man, you guys all suck.

Madara: We share the same goals.
From now on, “Hawk” and “Akatsuki” move as one.

Page 14:
Sasuke: What’s in it for us?

Madara: The Tailed Beasts.

Sasuke: Tailed beasts?

Madara: Don’t you know ANYTHING?
Karin: Those things? They’re like the Nine-Tails’ buddies, massive concentrations of chakra transformed into magical animals with tails-
Sasuke: What. ARE. They.

Madara: Monsters made of Chakra. The First Hokage once had a number of them under his control.

Hashirama split them up amongst the Five Great Ninja Countries when he began peace talks with them
to balance out the power.

Page 15:
Madara: You could call them the ultimate chakra weapons…
Not a bad trade, right?
Karin: HMPH

Sasuke: That’s pretty generous of you.
Mardara: However, betray Akatsuki and I’ll see to it you all die.

Sasuke: Heh…

Kisame: There are 9 Tailed Beasts in our world…
We’ve gathered seven so far…
Just two to go.

Madara: “Akatsuki” will split up to hunt the remaining two.
That’s our present goal.

Sasuke: So you haven’t gotten the Nine-Tailes yet…

Madara: AKATSUKI will take care of Naruto.
HAWK will get the other target.

Page 16:
Zetsu-Robot: WELL.

Madara: Everything went smoothly.
Zetsu-R: AHH, GLAD TO HEAR IT.

Madara: Itachi’s dead…nothing stands in my way now.
The Leaf Village is no longer “off limits.”

Zetsu-Human: It’s been so long…
Madara: It had to be for the plan to work.

Itachi gave Sasuke a little extra protection
in the form of Amaterasu.

Page 17:
Zetsu-H: But no one would ever reveal the truth about Itachi, why did he bother?
Madara: Even if HE took the truth to his grave, he was tormented by the idea that I might find Sasuke.

Zetsu-R: EVEN STILL…I CAN’T BELIEVE SO MANY AKATSUKI MEMBERS HAVE BEEN KILLED…

Madara: They had a lot of problems, but everyone joined of their own free will.

Deidara, Sasori, Hidan, Kazuku…
Without them, we never would’ve come this far.

Their efforts brought us to this point.

The most important thing…
Was to make Sasuke MINE.

Side: “Hawk” and “Akatsuki” aim for Naruto and the remaining Tailed Beast. And Madara…what vision dances before that eye?————————————————————

Bleach 98

Urahara asks Aizen what he was doing and Aizen replies that he discovered the group of captains etc and came to help them.

Urahara asks why Aizen is lying and he replies that he doesn’t see what the problem is with a vice captain trying to help his injured captain.

Urahara: “this is hollowification.” He says he is the type of guy he suspected all along. Aizen’s group splits up.

While the group is splitting Tessai uses Hadou 88, a destruction spell, “hiryuugekizokushintenraihou” to attack them but it is defended by bakudou 81 “dankuu”.

Tessai is surprised that his technique could be stopped by Aizen who is only a vice captain.

Aizen’s group is able to leave. Urahara and Tessai then try to help Hirako and the others but it’s hard to do it at the scene.

Tessai asks Urahara if he knows a way to deal with this type of phenomenon after giving such a speech (TN: about hollowification I presume).

Urahara says he has a possible way of helping them though it’s risky, he asks him to transport all of them to the 12th division.

He uses forbidden techniques (jikanteishi/kuukanteni) to transport themselves and the land to the 12th division.

Hollowification was one of the solutions Urahara discovered when researching how to strengthen the souls.

The boundary between shinigami and hollow will be destroyed within an instant with this process creating substance.

Therefore he will use the hougyoku to cure them.

the scene is naruto’s home

flashback to itachi and naruto’s chat

after they talk about sasuke, itachi asks why he would bring sasuke back. Jiraiya also asked him this ‘your ideas are pipe-dreams’

So naruto says to itachi ‘I won’t go back on my words that’s my ninja way’
itachi smiles slightly

then a genjutsu crow flies into naruto’s mouth

itachi ‘I’ll split my power with you…let’s hope you never have to use it.’
end of flash back

sasuke and madara

sasuke sees the full moon and remembers that day

sasuke’s flashback

in truth it’s a continuation of the ‘come before me’ speech

Sasuke picks up and throws a kunai at itachi

itachi blocks and his forehead protector falls off

we can see a a single tear

end of flashback

sasuke ‘I thought I was seeing things…if I’d only realized’ he looks at madara ‘what you told me is really the truth.’

back to naruto’s house

(what was itachi trying to say? why did he do that to me?)

‘how are things with you sasuke….I hope you’re doing good.’
madara ‘are you going to take Itachi’s eyes?’ sasuke ‘no’
???(………)
madara ….

sasuke ‘the things Itachi wanted to see and the things I’m gonna see are completely different. I can’t do things the way he wanted, I’ll revive the uchiha clan my way.’

end

Hashirama used the name of Hokage before the village hidden in the mist begin.

Senju clan whose leader was Hashirama was respected and was afraid by every Shinobi.

When Senju moves, Uchiha moves.

Only Uchiha could deal with Senju.

If a country employed Senju, the opponent employed uchiha…
My name (Madara) became famous, while I opposed with Hashirama.

Sasuke: Did you deprived your brother’s eyes to make your fame?

Madara: It wasn’t for fame. My brother offered them by his choice.

Madara gripped his left fist by his right hand.

Madara: But Senju offered armistice.

Uchiha agreed with this.

More from him:

But I only opposed this armistice.

Sasuke: What was this hatered we had till now?
Why my brother sacrificed himself?

Madara: I thought Senju would wipe us out in future, but everyone wanted armistice, so I agreed with armistice according to clan’s will as a leader. I had no choice.

Madara and Senju shake hands.

Then we reached an accord with the country of fire.

The county of fire and the village hidden in the leaves.

Every country emulated this one country and one village system.

The conflicts disappeared by this system.

Temporary peace has come.

But the village hidden in the leaves get into trouble by an incident.

Sasuke: ?

Madara: The position of the first Hokage.

The country of fire and people in the village chose Hashirama.

I afraid that Uchiha would be get away from dominion, so I decided to oppose Hashirama, but even a member of Uchiha didn’t follow me.

I was criticized and said I am a greedy elder brother who robbed eyes from his younger brother.

There is no elder brother who is willing to heart his younger brother.

I’ve just wanted to protect Uchiha! I’ve left the village.

I became an avenger and challenged village.

I was defeated…I died there…They thought so.

Even Hashirama should have believed it.

The second Hokage who is younger brother of Hashirama assigned Uchiha to police force to show how much he believe Uchiha clan.

But actually, that was to observe Uchiha.

Some members of Uchiha have noticed this and tried to execute my will.

But it was too late…Uchiha has already become a dog (subordinate) of Senju.

And Uchiha has totally wiped out by an incident.

The attack by Nine-tail fox in 16 years before.

Danzo and two old advisers deduced that Uchiha did it.

Nine-Tail fox was a natural disaster and Uchiha wasn’t included it, but they said we planed rebellion and so on.

After that, ANBU kept watching Uchiha and Uchiha was isolated from the village.

The third Hokage opposed this, but no one agreed with him.

And Uchiha clan planed coup d’etat to take over the village.

The man who stopped this was Itachi, your elder brother.

His hell started from that time.

After wandering around the internet, i found out scary truth..There will be no manga next week, week after next and week after week after next..but don’t worry, there a no confirmation yet..so chill out manga readers!!.
Manga die-hard-fan will suffer…for the next three weeks for sure. Manga are just like drugs, every weeks must have once. If not, things will go out of controll..i think..hehe..

At the 2nd division, it was reported to Yoruichi that Urahara had headed to “the Maggots Nest”. Soi fon was going to oppose it but Yoruichi told her not to worry and that Urahara must know what he is doing if he is taking his vice captain to that place.

Urahara eventually manages to drag Hiyori along with him. While walking there he tells her the history of the secret mobile corps. It was established separately from the Gotei 13 and the Shihouin family has a lot to do with it. Therefore the leader of the Shihouin family is given the rank of captain in one of the Gotei 13 divisions, that division will have a very close relationship with the secret mobile corps.

The current leader of the family is Yoruichi who is the captain of the 2nd division. The members of the division also have to take up a position in one of the 5 sub-divisions of the secret mobile corps. Urahara was included in this, the sub-division he once took responsibility for is the 3rd sub-division of the secret mobile corps which is called “Kanritai” which means “the Penitentiary Department.”

One of this department’s duties is to confine shinigami who have a high possibility of bringing danger to others, which makes them also considered an obstacle for the gotei 13.

Urahara further explains that it’s to imprison “the cause of danger”. He points towards the northern part of the 2nd division which has the large prison where these prisoners are kept. It is known as the underground for special imprisonment or, the Maggots nest.

It is a rule that they have to leave their Zanpakutou with the guards at the gate. The area inside the prison is like a large room. There are tables and chairs for the prisoners to relax on as the prisoners are allowed to live freely inside this area. Urahara warns Hiyori to be careful while walking through there because even a prisoner might look calm, there have been times when a prisoner went crazy.

Hiyori asks what crimes were committed by them but Urahara replies that they have done nothing. They are simply judged as “dangerous persons” by the law of Seireitei. So they are imprisoned to avoid a situation where they can bring harm to others. He then asks her if she can recall whether anyone has resigned from the Gotei 13, Hiroyi answers that there are 2-3 persons.

“The Gotei 13 has no ‘resignation’ system but only suspension and elimination of the name if they are absent for too long. There is no resigning as it means being put in the ’special confines’ for the Gotei 13″ says Urahara.

In conclusion there is no such thing as retirement in the Gotei 13, which is a noble organization, once a person is accepted into a division. These dangerous people who can not go along with the organization are imprisoned and it is made to seem like they have retired to everyone else.

Urahara has always had doubts that these prisoners should be locked up as he thinks their powers could be used for something great. While they are talking a giant prisoner goes crazy and charges at Hiyori. Urahara takes him out with his bare hands. He tells Hiyori, who is shocked, that the most important requirement when being appointed head of this department is that the candidate must be able to defeat every prisoner in there with his/her bare hands.

Then Urahara takes Hiyori to the end of the pathway. There is a medium sized jail that is heavily locked. “Look at that, Hiyori-san”, he says. “Over there is a dangerous person whom we have to keep separate from the others.”

The person who wears a white kimono sits there in the darkness.”Urahara Kitsuke?” they ask.
“What brings you here?”

“I have some business with you”, replies Urahara while walking towards the cage. He looks at the prisoner while smiling. “Kurotsuchi Mayuri-san.”

There is no response from Mayuri but the former jailer continues, “please come with me.”

kakashi: …. cold sweat
zetsu and tobi vanish
naruto: wait!
Kakashi: wait naruto
sakura: kakashi sensei!? you’re really sweating
kakashi (I can’t believe [it/he] really exists…we could be in serious trouble….)
Sai is the only one left behind.

Zetsu: is it fine to let them follow us?
it’s due to this bug…
Tobi: even if they come I won’t let them do anything
it’s a good chance to show them their own powerlessness
kiba: What the hell’s that?
naruto: a fire?
yamato: senpai, that’s…

hinata: black flames
kakashi: it’s probably itachi’s jutsu

yamato (why does he know?) this flame won’t vanish until it burns everything…what a terrible jutsu!

Zetsu: c’mon! would I?
Zetsu: I’m sure Itachi was dead

Spoiler #2
The Konoha Team attempts to chase Tobi and Zetsu who disappears but are stopped by Kakashi
Naruto is about to snap asking why they were stopped. Hinata tries to calm Naruto down. Naruto sees Kakashi’s serious face and controls his anger.
After a while Yamato suggests to continue search Sasuke. They decide to split up into groups again and search. While searching, Sai asks Kakashi why he didn’t allow them to chase in persuit. Kakashi doesn’t answer.
Kiba senses Sasuke’s scent. Everyone gathers to find traces of a battle but find no figures likely to be Itachi or Sasuke. The scent has gone so they decide they cannot chase any longer. Naruto grinds his teeth and no one talks to him.

Sasuke wakes although he is dying. He looks around but can’t figure out where he is. Tobi and Zetsu return there. Sasuke asks who they are.
Tobi takes his mask off and says:
“Its not the first time…Isn’t it?”
(Writers Note: I’ll leave the face up to when the manga comes out)
Sasuke looks astonished:
“You, you are…”
