Okay, so I had this idea stuck in my head for a while now, and at first it seemed WAAAY too much like a crack idea….so naturally I'm trying this out.
The summary is what if Tier Harribel was Naruto Uzumaki in the past, and became who she is by the oh-so-overused plot of Naruto being executed by Konohagakure. What if Harribel had died when Aizen attacked her, and met up with Kami himself, who lets her go back to the elemental nations with a companion that makes this whole story somewhat of a crack fic…..…..so yeah….
PS: AKATSUKI WILL BE GOOD IN THIS FIC! KONOHA WILL MOSTLY BE A ATAGONIST, EXCEPT FOR A FEW SELECT CLANS!
Well, I gave a pretty big summary there, so let's begin this fic already…
Some warnings: I'll always start with a song, and if * this appears* it'll be the theme at the moment. Beware of MAJOR CUSSING THROUGHOUT THE STORY! PAIRING PROBABLY WON'T CHANGE!
I'm done ranting, so let's begin the story! ^.^
I remembered black skies, the lightning all around me
I remembered each flash as time began to blur
Like a startling sign that fate had finally found me
And your voice was all I heard that I get what I deserve
So give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason to fill this hole, connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies across this new divide
There was nothing in sight but memories left abandoned
There was nowhere to hide, the ashes fell like snow
And the ground caved in between where we were standing
And your voice was all I heard that I get what I deserve
So give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes across this new divide
In every loss, in every lie, in every truth that you'd deny
And each regret and each goodbye was a mistake too great to hide
And your voice was all I heard that I get what I deserve
So give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason to fill this hole, connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies across this new divide
Across this new divide, across this new divide
~ New Divide by Linkin Park ~
~ Unknown Place ~
Everything was a sea of white to the former Tres Espada, Tier Harribel.
"Where….am I?" She muttered to herself, and glanced warily around at her surroundings. "Why am I here…? What happened?" Everything came rushing back to the woman, and she clutched her head in agony. The man she had once called so favorably Aizen-sama had slashed her across the chest, and declared her worthless and then left her for dead.
Harribel clenched her fists in an unspeakable rage, a great anger and hatred welling up in her being at Aizen. Her three Fracción, Apache, Sung-Sung, and Mila Rose were all dead by the Soul Reaper's hands. More specifically, the So-Taichō himself had killed them all in one blow. Her anger and rage quickly turned into despair and mourning at her Fracción's, no her family, deaths.
Harribel soon remembered her conditions, and surveyed the land around her. She slowly unzipped her jacket to see the damage to her mask and stomach, but saw nothing, and confused her greatly. 'What…..What is happening…?' Were the only thoughts going through the stoic Espada's head.
"I assume you are confused about what is happening, am I wrong?" A voice seemingly coming from nowhere questioned the frantic woman. Harribel's eyes visibly narrowed, and she reached for Tiburón cautiously. "Do not reach for your sword, Tier."
"Who are you, and what do you want with me?" Harribel questioned cautiously, not letting her guard slip.
"I am the deity known as Kami, and I am here to settle your past soul." Harribel's grip slackened on her sword, and she quietly asked,
"Past…..soul?"
"You were once known as a human sacrifice, known as a Jinchūriki, who had the most powerful demon, the Kurama, named Naruto Uzumaki. Now do you remember?" Kami questioned the silent former Espada.
Harribel's thoughts suddenly changed into ones that seemingly were not her own.
~ Series of Flashbacks ~
A dark haired boy who's hair was shaped strangely like a duck yelling at her, "Why won't you let me have my revenge?" Getting nearly three Chidori's in the chest area by said boy.
A pink haired girl slugging her in the face screaming, "YOU DEMON! YOU INJURED SASUKE-KUN!"
"But Sakura," Naruto had exclaimed, "I kept my oath to you! I brought Sasuke back from the Snake-teme!"
"But you nearly killed him!" And with that, Sakura slugged him in the face once more and stomped away.
Hate and loathing in his "friends" eyes, and the only ones who seemed to understand Naruto were the Sand Siblings, Shikamaru, and most shockingly, Neji AND Shino. Even Hinata hated the so-called demon now after she was broken in by her peers and clan members.
Tsunade declaring Naruto to be executed by none other than the Uchiha, just for the "loyal" Sasuke to gain the Mangekyō Sharingan, but this had failed.
One final saying before being executed by the Chidori,
"You all will rue the day you screwed with Naruto Uzumaki!" All that met this statement was darkness and then nothing at all.
~ End of Flashbacks ~
"Why are you telling me this?" Harribel questioned after a moment of silence.
"Everything that has happened so far has led to this moment, Tier. I shall now ask you the grand question, will you go back to the Elemental Nations for revenge, bring back peace to the elemental nations, or will you go to Hell for all of your actions in both lives?"
"Why will I be going back there?" Was the hostile retort.
"You, Harribel, are destined to go back with a special person and bring divine judgment or eternal peace to the land."
'What should I do? And what does this "Kami" mean by special person?' Harribel pondered to herself. "I choose to go to the Elemental Nations." She declared proudly, and searched for a sign that if this "Kami" was actually in this sea of whiteness.
"Good choice. May luck ever be with you! Oh yes, I have allowed one arrancar to be revived from the dead to accompany you! May the odds ever be with you! Good bye!"
A white light seemed to envelop Harribel, and she couldn't help but to wonder if the arrancar was Apache, Sung-Sung, or Mila Rose. The white light eventually disappeared, leaving Harribel in a lush forest, which Harribel could identify from Naruto's memories as the Land of Fire's forest near Konohagakure.
"Where the hell am I?" A loud voice groaned out from nearby, and a figure soon stepped into the woman's view. "YOU!" The man yelled, his mask glinting in the sunlight.
"I would not believe my traveling partner sent by Kami himself would be one of Barragan's Fracción…what a surprise…" Harribel mused out loud; ignoring the heated glare sent her way.
"You seem to know where we are, so where exactly are we? The last thing I remember was going into my Resurrección, and then that Taichō, Suί Fēng, stabbed me with that claw thing." Ggio asked his new traveling companion.
"We are in a place known as the Elemental Nations, home to the ninja and samurai. We are in a region known as the Land of Fire, and there is a major hidden village here known as Konohagakure. We will need to stay away from people wearing a headband with this symbol." Harribel unsheathed her Zanpakutō and drew the leaf symbol into the dirt ground.
Ggio nodded, and said, "So what happened back at that town after my…..death?"
"Suί Fēng managed to kill Barragan; Stark was killed by those two Taichō along with Lilynette. You were Barragan's final Fracción to die. My Fracción were also killed by the So-Taichō himself. Aizen declared all of the Espada worthless, attacked me, and managed to kill me. What happened next is unknown. "
"That bastard betrayed us all then! We should have never trusted those Shinigami!" Ggio snarled, his fists clenched at his sides.
"We have the chance to start over here now…Ggio?" Harribel softly questioned.
"Yes…..?"
"Will you accompany me on my quest in this foreign territory?"
"Hmmm…I've got nowhere else to go, so I'll go with you, Harribel-san."
"If my past life's memory serves correctly, we should head to the Land of Waves to stock up on bounties, news, and weapons."
"Whatever you say, Harribel-san." Ggio muttered, feeling slightly nostalgic at using the suffix as it reminded him of his former master.
Ggio fastened his Zanpakutō to his side, while Harribel checked to make sure Tiburón was also secure, and the two of them began to use Sonίdo to reach the Land of Waves quickly.
