Honestly not a fan of how you're victimizing Sakura and making everyone out to be the bad guy just to justify her kicking everyone's ass later. Comes across as lazy writing.

You can make Sakura a bad ass without writing everyone as being jerks towards her.

Alright first chapter and immediately confused. I see we are going full AU with zero context given so... ok. Other than that intriguing premise will keep reading.

Estoy feliz! Estoy feliz de que ganó Shisui jsjsjs. Gracias autor por tu trabajo en este libro. Espare con ansias tu regreso!

Very great chapter!
J'aime bien la tournure que prend l'histoire et j'ai hâte de lire la suite.

Oooooh Grimmjow and Shisui are definitely my picks!

Itachi

Love it all

Thanks for the story.

But even if I don't think its going to change anything, I would like to tell you to reconsider about making a "Separate Route" for the Sequels, mostly because balancing both stories without leaving one behind could become complicated, and also because I think your premise has a lot of potential for a Fusion of both of your Sequel Ideas.

First of all it seems like people are overwhelmingly in favor of a Shisui pairing, but mostly undecided on Ichigo or Grimmjow, I honestly prefer Shisui and no one from Bleach.

My reasoning is that you could extend the time for Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura's training to 5 years as planned, but consider having Sakura alongside Tsunade and Shizune to travel in some way to the Bleach Universe after 3 Years of traveling, could be a resonance due to Sakura's high compatibility with Senbonzakura after trying Bankai, or simply events starting on the Bleach Universe, either Aizen or Kisuke's experiments, etc.

I would love to see a fusion of both plots, after all most of the Bleach Story happens during 1 year, and then 2 years later (completing 5 Years and a little more) the Yhwach Arc starts, that aligns perfectly for Sakura, Tsunade and Shizune to participate, learn, develop their powers (yes, even Tsunade) in the Bleach Universe, affecting all the plot points, and leaving for the Naruto Universe to start Shippuden just a few months before Yhwach becomes a problem, making your "Third Part" a mix of both Naruto Characters (mostly in the Naruto World) but with possible intervention from Bleach Characters, maybe changing the Bleach War, or having Yhwach try to also invade The Elemental Nations alongside Hueco Mundo just in time to clash with the start of the 4th Ninja War. That would help Sakura immensely with her "Shinigami" Powers, and makes her similar to Orihime or Chad with their original powerset.

About the Pairing, there shouldn't be much of a problem to have Shisui regularly "request" missions near Sakura's location, to visit and develop the pairing more organically, thus leaving a perfect place for Sakura, Shisui, Tsunade and Shizune to get "stranded" on the Bleach Universe, the effects of a sudden cut of communications between them and Konoha could also be interesting to show in "Mini Interludes" of Naruto Universe while the main Cast deals with Bleach, maybe even help to make Sasuke, Naruto and others take training more seriusly if they think Akatsuki "killed" Sakura's group.

Most of the characters powers also interact nicely with the Bleach Universe, even Shisui could be a case of "Hollow Reiatsu" considering the Sharingan's "curse" and demonic look and consequences for its use, and just like Chad, he could learn to develop his own version of Sharingan and Mangekyo, with the help of Kisuke or the Vizards/Arrancar.

Sakura obviously would have a path more closely related to a Shinigami, but there are a LOT of Fillers who play with the idea of Custom Souls, Zanpakuto, and extra experimentation, so Sakura and Senbonzakura's case should be well within the possibilities, whether she is Unique or not in the setting could be interesting to see, but I honestly hope she is the only one with a "Spirit Weapon" in the Bleach Universe. She also has the potential of a true "fusion" between Senbonzakura and her Soul, to become closer to the ideal of a Shinigami, albeit also with her own Chakra Potential. Because the first thing I hope Sakura develop is a bond with Senbonzakura closer to that of a Shinigami, where their Swords are more part of them that of a "Storage Scroll".

About Tsunade and Shizune, they have plenty to learn from Kido and even Hollows with their unique bodies and High Speed Regeneration, and Sakura is proof that everyone could awaken their Reiatsu in Naruto Universe, so I really hope to see Tsunade and Shizune with unique skills (like Orihime and Chad).

I am mostly throwing this idea around because during Naruto Shippuden's Canon, both Sasuke and Naruto improved unreasonably fast, to the point where they could actually destroy the Moon or maybe Planets with their Power (Look latest Movies, or Shippuden's Ending), in comparison Sakura was a strong, S-Rank Shinobi, but a reasonable one compared to other previous Enemies. Sasuke and Naruto were unreasonable due to flimsy excuses of "Transmigration" or "Child of Prophesy", or "Hax Mangekyo/Rinnegan".

Now, lets compare the potential growth of Sakura in the Bleach Universe, if she develops fully in that world before returning, she would become exponentially stronger than early Shippuden Sasuke and Naruto, but eventually they would reach a "stalemate" or maybe Sakura being a little bit stronger than "Mangekyo/Rinnegan Sasuke" and "All Bijuu Naruto". That makes for a more interesting dynamic for the characters.

Oh, and obviously Sakura and Shisui would have time to develop as a couple during the Bleach Universe events, thus making any romantic development in Naruto Universe after 5 years completely unnecessary.

And if you want to include Grimmjow, it could work as a pairing for Shizune, after all she was never much of a focus in Canon, could become interesting in a setting like Bleach, she could bond with Yoruichi or Soifon due to their similar combat styles, and with Unohana alongside Tsunade.

Thanks again for the story, sorry if its a bother, but I honestly don't think that having 2 stories with basically the same premise and different Worlds would help you as the writer to keep your creativity and possible schedule with 2 stories.

Thanks for the chapter. I didn't think there was only 2 chapters left before the sequels. I'm just wondering about one thing. What happened with the Chunin exam? If I remember correctly, Shikamaru got promoted for his good thinking after the third's death. I honestly expected Sakura to get promoted or at least to be told she wasn't or that she would be evaluated on her return. Something to look into.

I'm glad she'll keep Senbonzakura. I really didn't like the idea of her losing her Zanpakuto.

I have no problem with Grimmjow wining for the Bleach sequel, I just hope romance won't take too much space in both stories (and yes I'll be reading both)

Anyway, keep it up and stay safe.

So... somehow, Itachi went from over 40 votes to 18... yeah right.
Smells like lies... :/

I loved it and cant wait for the next ones to come

I really love this story, the only thing I don’t like is naruto’s attitude, ever time I read a new chapter I would start shacking in anticipation of what’s to happen next, no other story has made me this nervous and excited at the same time.

Keep up the awesome work!

Ichigo is annoying so my vote is

ItachiGrimmy boyo.

The thing with Sakura losing Mr Flower Sword, is a bit dumb honestly. It's simple, only 1 Shinigami could make Zanpatou and Zanpatou souls. Kisuke has trouble making the souls, so he used templates and modified it a bit, and when he found the way to make new souls he threw them into a Senkaimon, and they eventually made it into the Elemental Nations. Now WHY having Sakura train for her new one? Well here's the thing, she already has Shikai, and the fact is she EARNT IT. Unless she has a massive personality change, she will always have Shikai. Besides Flower Guy chose her, because she was perfect for him, and he her. The atages of Shikai and Bankai come with emotional development, and it doesn't happen twice. Not to mention, Ichigo is a freak of Nature, and Uryu has a shard of a god in his soul. The rest of their friends is fodder. Sakura realistically Wouldn't be friends with them, because Ichigo is FAR to like Naruto, and refuses to listen to hos friends whereas Uryu is far to much like Sasuke. The fact of the matter is bud, you'll have to change the bleac story. You've made Sakura mature, and you taking away Senbo not only halts, but recedes some of that growth artificially. Also, if you made her retraon a Zanpatou when she has Captain level reserves because at that point she probably had Bankai, how are you going to deal with the fact that Flower Guy was already a top tier Zanpatou? Are you going to give her a weaker one? A stronger one? Not to mention Sakura has always been deeply connected to Sakura Petals in the fandom, so losing flower guy seems wrong.
