Chapter 53: Back to Karakura Town
A few hours after waking up next to Tatsuki, Naruto received a message that Captain Ukitake apparently wanted to talk with Naruto about something important. So, the duo was currently sitting at a table, calmly drinking tea.
After around a minute of silence, Ukitake started talking.
"Well, since everything is more or less settled, and your group is no longer considered invaders, I've decided to make you an offer."
Naruto simply nodded his head and motioned Ukitake to continue.
"Since you have Shinigami powers, are you interested in becoming a Substitute Shinigami?"
"Oh? Substitute Shinigami? Please elaborate."
"Well, there honestly isn't much to explain. Basically, you will get an official token to represent your position which will also warn you of incoming Hollow. Overall, all you have to do is kill Hollow when you see them."
As soon as Ukitake stopped talking, Naruto briefly pondered the offer and came to a conclusion rather quickly.
'Well, this honestly isn't a big deal. I would be killing Hollow anyways, so having something to identify myself with might be useful. Neither Seireitei nor I get much out of this, so let's accept for now.'
"Alright, I'm in."
Hearing Naruto accepting his offer Ukitake happily nodded his head while his right hand vanished into his left sleeve before pulling something out of there.
It was a small black and white token that had two crossing black stripes on it with a big black skull at the crosspoint of the stripes.
"This is the Substitute Badge. It will be the token representing your position as a Substitute Shinigami."
Taking the token, Naruto couldn't help but feel a little suspicious of Ukitake. No, that wasn't entirely correct, as rather than feeling that he was acting suspiciously, Naruto felt like he was deliberately doing so.
'Something isn't entirely right with this badge, and although Ukitake knows what's wrong, he isn't allowed to tell me directly. As such, he decided to put up this act.'
As soon as Naruto came to that conclusion, his eyes started shining blue as he directed some of his Spiritual Power into them, enhancing what he could see. After watching the badge Ukitake was holding out to him, Naruto immediately noticed what was going on, as it had a rather simple structure.
"I see; a location tracker, huh?"
(Disclaimer from the author: A lot of people think that the badge restricts Ichigo's Spiritual Power because Ginjo said it would "track and restrict" him, but I feel like that "restrict" wasn't pointed at Ichigo's Spiritual Power, but his movement in general. As in, if he were to go somewhere, Seireitei didn't want him to go, they could block/stop him after tracking him down.)
Ukitake could only smile wryly as Naruto instantly saw through the badge's functions. Obviously, he wanted Naruto to have some suspicions about the badge at least, but he didn't expect him to find out everything at a glance.
"So you found out immediately, huh? I guess that is to be expected of someone who could fight the Captain Commander for such a long time. Indeed, on top of the features I mentioned, this will track your location as well. So, if you want to reject the offer after finding out about that, then it can't be helped."
Instead of outright rejecting the badge, Naruto briefly pondered the situation before shrugging his shoulders.
"I'm not certain what I will do yet, but I'm rather curious about your actions. Others might not notice, but it was rather clear to me that you wanted me to doubt the purpose of this badge. What's that all about?"
Ukitake couldn't help but smile wryly due to Naruto's question. Despite that, he quickly answered his question, as he had already expected Naruto to ask it.
"The rule of giving Shinigami from outside of Seireitei this badge had been in place for a long time now, and I'm the one who set it in motion. On the one hand, I don't want Shinigami that aren't loyal towards Seireitei to roam the world of the living unchecked, but on the other hand, I can't help but feel guilty tracking them without their knowledge. So, I decided to hand the badge over without explaining all its functions while simultaneously acting in a way that might make me look suspicious."
Naruto hummed in acknowledgment after Ukitake finished his explanation. Frankly, he could only agree to his words. In terms of his previous world, Naruto was practically a Shinobi from a foreign Nation, but despite that, he was allowed to roam the lands controlled by Seireitei. A Shinobi from the Stone was not only roaming the lands of the Leaf but was even taking on missions. Well, it was a little more sophisticated than that, but in the end, it didn't really matter.
"I see, so it's like that. Well, I can understand why you would want to keep your taps on a rough like me, so I don't really mind. However, what if I were to reject this badge? As you have said, you want to know where I am, and if I were to reject it, you wouldn't be able to do so."
Feeling a sliver of hostility in Naruto's words, Ukitake could only raise his hands in surrender.
"I won't lie to you; if you were a Shinigami of average strength, I would force it onto you. However, considering what I have seen of your strength so far, I feel like that would be a huge mistake. Although I'm certain that you couldn't defeat all of Seireitei by yourself, I would rather not sacrifice a significant part of our forces just to restrict a single person that clearly holds no hostility towards us. So, even if you reject the badge, we wouldn't do anything."
As soon as Ukitake finished his explanation, Naruto nodded his head in approval and grabbed the badge. He totally agreed with Ukitake's words, as this was how the world worked in his first life as well. While the weak get suppressed, the strong are respected.
"Good, I like your reasoning and fully understand your point of view, so I'll take the badge and carry it around."
'Hehe, I wonder if I can mess with this things tracking function~ Oh? Someone stole an artifact from within Seireitei? Well, it couldn't be Naruto since his badge was moving around in the world of the living when the robbery happened~'
[Couldn't you accomplish the same by simply giving it to someone else?]
'Unfortunately, I can't. This thing is linked to my Spiritual power, so people in Seireitei will know immediately if someone else is carrying it. Another feature that might be fun to mess with~'
[*Sigh* The people in this city actually gave the prankster the tools to prank them with, huh? That's a little pitiful.]
"I know, right? To think she would be able to not only seduce the old Kenpachi, Captain Unohana, but even defeat the new one. She sure hid her true power well.
Oh well, my highlight was definitely the massive ice penis she managed to erect inside the Kuchiki compound somehow, which seemed to be pretty much indestructible and would occasionally shoot white... snow into the air."
A few more seconds passed after Yoruichi finished speaking, resulting in Kisuke answering Yoruichi.
"Haa?"
Yet again, not the brightest of answers to her report, which only made her even happier. Seeing a dumbfounded Kusike was extremely rare, so she couldn't help but be happy due to the current situation.
Although it took Kisuke a while to reboot his brain, as soon as he did, he couldn't help but glare at Yoruichi.
"Could you please take this seriously? Please tell me the truth."
"Oh? What happened to 'No matter what happened, there is no way I wouldn't believe your words.'?
"Pah, although I said that, at least be reasonable. That nonsense you have just told me is simply too absurd to be true."
As soon as Kisuke finished speaking, his gaze landed on the other people who went to Seireitei, expecting their expressions to falter due to Yoruichi's obvious prank being seen through.
However, although everyone indeed looked away as soon as Kisuke's gaze landed on them, he felt like the reason they were looking away from him wasn't that they were afraid of exposing Yoruichi's lie, causing Yoruichi to laugh out loud.
"Sorry to disappoint your common sense, but everything I just said is true."
"Including you joining nee-san's harem~"
"Shut up, Naruto!"
"Yes, sister-in-law~"
Hearing Naruto calling her "sister-in-law" yet again, Yoruchi gritted her teeth so hard they almost shattered as she directed a seething glare and Naruto, who only casually winked at her, making her even angrier.
On the other hand, Kisuke could only stare at the duo in a daze.
'Impossible. How can that be true? There is no way a single individual could do all of that. Especially not if they had just become a Shingami a few days ago. This is impossible. W-What am I even supposed to do now? It seems like Yuna actually had more potential than Ichigo. So, should I switch her out and make use of her for my plans instead? No, that doesn't make any sense, as her circumstances are completely different from Ichigo's.
On top of that, she actually went to Hueco Mundo. What the hell!? Plans that were crafted for over a century need to be thrown into the trash just because one woman decided to do whatever she wanted.
Damnit, I can't predict what will happen at all. Will Yuna really cause havoc within Hueco Mundo? How will her presence affect the forces Aizen will bring and Aizen himself? Shit, shit, shit, everything is spiraling out of control!'
Meanwhile, while Naruto was bickering with Yoruichi, he couldn't help but internally chuckle in amusement due to Kisuke's current state of mind. He could easily tell just how distressed he was, almost causing him to laugh out loud.
'How pitiful; he tried to predict what nee-san would do and straight up crashed and burned. Oh well, it's not like this is the first time this has happened.'
[As someone who has known her for a long time now, it's always fascinating seeing this kind of thing happening.]
'Yeah, I agree. After all, if you know her, it's incredibly easy to get at least a read of what her next action is going to be, but if you don't know her, it's pretty much impossible to do so.'
[As expected of someone whose Zanpakuto is named "Chaos".]
'Mhh, now that I think about it, I wonder how Zanpakuto usually get their names? As far as I know, the Zanpakuto usually gives it to its wielder and not the other way around.'
[We recognize our names as soon as we become sentient. Usually, even if a Shinigami were to give us a name before we become sentient, it would be meaningless. Despite that, your sister somehow managed to name her Zanpakuto Spirit, either coincidently choosing the correct name or overwriting the real one, which should be impossible.]
'I see, so she somehow managed to overwrite the real one, huh? Thanks for the information, Borrum.'
[Please don't completely ignore the first option.]
'Mah, it's simply too absurd to happen, so it can't be helped~'
[And the second one isn't!?]
'Mah, it's nee-san, after.'
Since Yuna managed to awaken a second Zanpakuto Spirit on top of Kurama, it would be weird for Naruto not to do the same. After all, just like the egg that hatched inside Yuna's mindscape when she turned into a Shinigami, the same happened to Naruto, granting him his own Zanpakuto Spirit.
Although he had not used it within Seireitei yet, his sword's Shikai transformation greatly increased the power of his wind, while the Zanpakuto Spirit's name was Borrum.
Although he had yet to use it, Naruto was sure that there were plenty of chances to do so in the future.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

As far as I know, the Zanpakuto usually gives it to its wielder and not the other way around.' We recognize our names as soon as we become sentient. Usually, even if a Shinigami were to give us a name before we become sentient, it would be meaningless. Despite that, your sister somehow managed to name her Zanpakuto Spirit, either coincidently choosing the correct name or overwriting the real one, which should be impossible. 'I see, so she somehow managed to overwrite the real one, huh? Thanks for the information, Borrum.' Please don't completely ignore the first option. 'Mah, it's simply too absurd to happen, so it can't be helped~' And the second one isn't!? 'Mah, it's nee-san, after.' Since Yuna managed to awaken a second Zanpakuto Spirit on top of Kurama, it would be weird for Naruto not to do the same. After all, just like the egg that hatched inside Yuna's mindscape when she turned into a Shinigami, the same happened to Naruto, granting him his own Zanpakuto Spirit. Although he had not used it within Seireitei yet, his sword's Shikai transformation greatly increased the power of his wind, while the Zanpakuto Spirit's name was Borrum. Although he had yet to use it, Naruto was sure that there were plenty of chances to do so in the future.
