“My my, what a sight.” Tusado said smiling. “Ex- Captain Tsunade.”

“Assistant Captain Tusado.” Tsunade said frowning. “It’s been a long time. But now I come back here to find out that you’re committing a crime with Aaron?”

“Captain Aaron took the Soul Jewel.” Clema said while Sakura healed her. “It was inside of me.”

“Inside of you?” Naruto repeated. “Soul Jewel? I’m so confused!”

“The Soul Jewel…” Tsunade repeated. “What are you planning to do with it Tusado?”

“What’s the fun if I tell you?” Tusado said. He walked over to where his sword landed and picked it up. “It will be the end but yet the beginning of things.”

“Huh?” Naruto said with a blank face. “That doesn’t even make sense!”

“And who are those kids you have with you Tsunade?” Tusado said looking at Naruto and Sakura. “Ah I think I know who the girl is, its Sakura.”

“How do you know my name?” Sakura said while healing Clema.

“You meet Captain Ruko didn’t you? He told us about you.” Tusado said smiling. “But who is the yellow-haired one?”

“The name’s Naruto Uzumaki.” Naruto said walking to Tsunade and Chiryuu.

“Ah, I see.” Tusado said smiling. “Well, I need to get going. So much stuff to do.” He waved and vanished.

“No!” Tsunade said angrily.

“Damn…” Chiryuu said.

“We have to go find him!” Naruto said standing in front of Tsunade. “He has the Jewel thing! That’s bad right!?”

“You’re healed.” Sakura said getting up. She helped Clema up to her feet.

“Clema!” Chiryuu said running over to her. “Are you okay?”

“Yeah, thanks to Sakura.” Clema said. “Thanks for protecting me Chiryuu.”

“Ah well I didn’t really do anything.” Chiryuu said. “Tusado sliced my snake. I still can’t believe it…”

“What do we do now?” Sakura asked looking at Tsunade.

“I do not know…” Tsunade said looking away.

“I know.” Said a voice. It was Captain Ruko frowning. “Clema goes back to jail, awaiting her execution. Then I kill these two.” He said pointing to Naruto and Sakura. “Not even Soul Reapers, they are nothing. What to do with you Assistant Captain Chiryuu? I will report you to the Master for helping Clema escape.”

He looked at Tsunade. Tsunade was looking away. He walked over to her until they were face-to-face. “This is a surprise. Ex-Captain Tsunade. You should have stayed in the World of the Living, where we sent you.”

“Who is this large muscular freak?” Naruto said with an angry face. Captain Ruko turned away from Tsunade and to Naruto.

“I am Captain Ruko, the strongest captain of them all.” Captain Ruko said smiling. “I guess I should get to killing you now.”

Captain Ruko took out his sword and grinned.

“Try it.” Naruto said sternly.

“No Naruto!” Tsunade screamed. “You are no match for him!”

Captain Ruko’s sword was struck by huge blue lightning. The ground cracked by the force.

“This is the power of Captain Ruko’s sword.” Clema thought. “He uses lightning to kill his enemies…Naruto you’re a fool for going up against him…”

“Die.” Captain Ruko said. Suddenly, the blue lightning went straight toward Naruto. At impact, huge smoke clouds appeared.

“Was he hit?” Chiryuu said protecting his eyes from the smoke.

“NARUTO!” Clema screamed in fear.

Everyone in town looked at the explosion at the hill.

“What was that?” Captain Mosabi said as he stopped and looked at the sight. He sighed. “Well it’s a problem whatever it is, I guess I should check it out.”
