Chapter 61: Harribel and Followers
Just like that, another day passed, and Naruto and Tatsuki were back at school. While Naruto couldn't help being annoyed due to Ichigo looking like a beaten dog because he lost the fight against Yammy, Tatsuki's face was constantly changing color from white to pink to red and back to pink.
While most of her classmates had no idea what was going through her head, Naruto had no doubt that she was thinking about everything he had told her yesterday, causing him to smile lightly.
'Seems like she is seriously thinking about it. That's good~.'
[Just like that, the degeneracy continues spreading.]
Naruto was about to start arguing with Kurama when he picked up a few rather familiar presences walking through the hallways of the school, and moments later, everyone in the classroom could hear a few people talking with each other.
"So, which classroom is it?"
"No clue~"
"What!? Didn't you write it down?"
"Yup, but I lost the paper, hehe~"
"You lost it!?"
"Relax; all we have to do is search for his Spiritual Power, and we'll be fine."
"Oh? It's this one, right?"
Suddenly, the door to the classroom was opened, revealing five people: Rangiku, whose breasts threatened to plop out of the school uniform she was wearing; Renji and Ikkaku, who became friends with Ichigo after fighting him in Seireitei, Yumichika Ayasegawa; who could probably be considered Ikkaku's sidekick, and finally Toshiro, who previously was bulli... *cough* defeated by Yuna.
"Yo, it's been a while, Ichigo."
The moment Ichigo heard the familiar voice, his gaze moved toward the door, causing his eyes to widen before approaching the just-arrived group.
"Oh! What are you guys doing here?"
As soon as Ichigo got closer to the group, Renji resumed speaking silently, so no other person in the room could hear him.
"We are here to help you with your with against the Arrancar."
"Huh? What's an Arrancar?"
Hearing Ichigo's question, Renji couldn't help but facepalm, but before he could answer Ichigo, another person answered his question.
"It's those guys that kicked your ass previously."
Ichigo's eyes widened as his gaze wandered toward one of the windows, where a petite young woman could be seen climbing into the room.
"Rukia?"
Seeing more and more people pop up, the rest of the classroom naturally sank into confusion due to so many unique characters suddenly appearing.
"Who are these people?"
"Damn, look at that blonde bombshell."
"What's with the bald guy? Why is he carrying a sword?"
"Damn, is that baldy a deliquient?"
"Ichigo, do you know these people?"
"OKAY, THE TWO PEOPLE WHO JUST CALLED ME BALD, STEP FORWARD!!!"
While the newly arrived group mostly ignored the murmuring of the peanut gallery, Ikkaku snapped due to being called "bald" multiple times, instantly intimidating the onlookers.
While that was happening, Ichigo and Rukia held eye contact for a bit longer before Rukia shot forward and kicked Ichigo in the face, sending him flying backward, where Renji was already waiting to restrain him.
"Hey! What's the meaning of this!?"
Ichigo tried to look Renji in the eyes to see his intention, but he only averted his gaze. Suddenly, Rukia appeared in front of Ichigo and slapped him multiple times before putting on a glove and pulling Ichigo's Shinigami form out of his body, resulting in his physical body sagging down.
"H-Hey, where are we going!?"
"Shut up and come with me!"
Seeing Rukia casually abducting Ichigo, Ikkaku couldn't help but scoff in disdain.
"Pah! Did you see the look in his eyes? He needs a serious trashing."
"Hmph, what a clown."
Obviously, due to Ichigo seemingly getting knocked out by Rukia, the peanut galleries discussion escalated even further, but this time none of the new arrivals bothered reacting to them.
Meanwhile, Keigo, who froze the moment he saw Rangiku, finally managed to get out of his daze and jumped toward her.
"HELLO, MY BEAUTIFUL GODDES!!!"
Rangiku, whose gaze briefly wandered over the room, quickly spotted Naruto, causing a happy smile to appear on her face. She quickly walked toward him and, while doing so, casually smashed her fist into Keigo's face, sending him to the ground.
"Naruto! It's been a while~."
"Ohh~ Good to see you again, Rangiku!"
Instantly, all eyes in the room landed on Naruto, who apparently knew the big-busted foreigner that had just entered the classroom. While the boys were looking at him in envy, the girl's gazes quickly landed on Tatsuki, who they expected to be angry. However...
"Oh? You are here as well, Tatsuki! How have you been?"
Rangiku suddenly greeted Tatsuki as well, meaning that they at least knew each other, dumbfounding the others. They really wondered where the Naruto and Tatsuki duo could have met Ranguki.
After chatting for a short moment to catch up with each other, Rangiku asked a question that instantly froze the whole room.
"By the way, Naruto. I'll be staying here for a while. Can I sleep at your place?"
Instantly, all eyes snapped toward Tatsuki, who everyone was expecting to get angry, but to everyone's surprise, she barely reacted at all.
"You three, follow me to my room. Something important came up."
After she finished speaking, Emilou's face flushed red as she nodded her head in understanding, while Franceska and Cyan did the same with a hint of excitement on their faces.
However, despite the trio's clear change in facial expression, Harribel was deep in thought as she affirmed the next step she would take.
'No matter how I look at it, I need to help these three communicate with their Zanpakuto Spirits as well. Anything else would betray the loyalty they fell towards me and our comradeship.'
[Hopefully, one of them can talk sense into you, so you finally ditch that loser.]
Hearing her Zanpakuto Spirit calling Aizen a loser yet again, Harribel couldn't help but frown, but in the end, she decided not to start this discussion again.
Moments later, Harribel and her three followers reached Harribels room, and after sitting down on a comfortable couch, Harribel couldn't help but sigh deeply due to what she was going to talk about with her followers. Frankly, she had no idea how they would react to what she was about to tell them.
She was just about to start speaking when she looked at the trio, causing her head to tilt in confusion.
"What are you three doing?"
As soon as Harribels's words left her mouth, Emilou, Franceska, and Cyan, who were in different states of undress, froze up, looking at Harribel in confusion.
"W-Well, *cough* didn't you call us here for... you know... some service..."
As soon as that question was asked by Emilou, she started blushing even harder as the other two looked at Harribel in confusion, causing her to sigh deeply.
Frankly, Harribel herself didn't even know what was going on. While the group of four were still normal Hollow, neither of them had any sexual desires, but the closer they got to becoming a Shinigami, the more those desires bloomed.
It wasn't even just their sexual desires that became stronger, but other emotions grew as well while other urges receded. For example, Hollow tent to be incredibly greedy and gluttonous, desires which all four of them felt weakening the more they leaned towards becoming Shinigami.
So, having their urges increased and constantly seeing Yuna flirting with Hinata finally broke the straw at one point, resulting in the trio approaching Harribel with their desires to serve her on a more... personal basis, which Harribel agreed to, surprising not only herself but the trio serving her too.
Anyway, after an awkward silence that the trio used to embarrassedly put their clothes back on, Harribel was seated on a couch while her subordinates were seated across from her.
"Anyway, the reason I called you here is due to me stumbling over a rather interesting way to grow stronger. So far, only two people other than me know about it, and Aizen...sama isn't one of them. So, if you want me to tell you about it, you have to swear not to tell him anything about it."
As soon as Harribel stopped talking, the trio's eyes widened in surprise, and not even a second later, all three of them got up from the couch they were sitting on and kneeled in front of Harribel.
"""We'll never tell anyone anything about it!!!"""
[Good, at least your three followers have a good brain between their ears.]
'Is it just my imagination, or are you getting ruder?'
[Definitely just your imagination.]
Anyway, unlike Harribel, who had some doubt about who she should follow, Emilou, Franceska, and Cyan had not a speck of doubt in their body. They were Harribel's loyal subordinates, and if she asked them to do something, they would do so even if it cost them their life.
Seeing the three people in front of her, worship glowing in their eyes, Harribel couldn't help but smile warmly before slowly insheathing her Zanpakuto, drawing the trio's attention.
"This is the new discovery I was talking about. [Flood, Gran Tiburon Blanco]."
As soon as Harribel stopped speaking, her three followers could only look at her dumbfounded, while her Zanpakuto transformed, as Harribel stayed completely unchanged. After all, that was not how a Hollow's release should work. After releasing their swords, they were supposed to regain their original Hollow powers.
Meanwhile, Harribels sword became somewhat thicker as the whole thing turned ocean blue, somewhat resembling an elongated shark fin.
"What was that?"
"What did you do, Harribel-sama?"
"N-No way! S-Shikai!?"
While Emilou and Franceska were stunned due what they had just witnessed, Cyan was much calmer, and after analyzing what had changed for a brief moment, she instantly came up with a theory, attracting the attention of the other two.
"Shikai? What are you talking about?"
"There is no way Harribel-sama could use Shikai. That's a Shinigami's power!"
Before the trio could discuss the matter any further, Harribel decided to step in and solve the riddle for them.
"Yes, that was a Shikai release, and I feel like I'll be able to use Bankai as well at some point. Additionally, I think it's possible to do so on top of using Resurreccion."
Naturally, the trio's eyes bulged as soon as Harribel finished her explanation. All three of them realized that it would be an incredible jump in power to be able to use not only an Arrancar's trump card but a Shinigami's as well.
"How is that possible, Harribel-sama? How can you use a Shinigami technique, despite being a Hollow?"
"Am I a Hollow, Cyan? No, I've become an Arrancar. It would be weirder if I couldn't use Shinigami techniques while being half Shinigami."
After thinking about it for a short moment, all three of Harribel's followers started eagerly nodding their heads. It was clear that all three of them wanted to use whatever method Harribel used to get stronger themselves.
"Unfortunately, I'm not the one who found out about this, nor am I capable of helping you unlock this power. If you want to gain the same powers I got, then you would need to entrust yourself to an outsider, which would end up in you owning them a favor. Are you willing?"
"H-Harribel-sama, who exactly are we talking about? Is it that feminine-looking crazy scientist Arrancar?"
Hearing Cyan's question, Harribel simply shrugged her shoulders before answering her question.
"No, it isn't. In fact, the one who helped gain this power isn't even a Hollow. The one who found out about this, and helped me realize this power, is Yuna Uzumaki."
Although the trio wasn't entirely sure, all three of them felt a shiver go done their spines as soon as Harribel said that name.
Obviously, they knew about the human that decided to follow Aizen for some reason, but neither of them had ever interacted with her due to not having any interest in her, but now, after hearing her name, all three of them felt like they were about to walk into the belly of a beast.
Meanwhile, back in Yuna's room that was currently filled with a woman's moans, Yuna's head was currently placed between a pair of thighs as a weird feeling passed through her body.
'Weird, I feel like someone is about to deliver some snacks to me soon.'
[*Sigh* I had some hopes that after Seireitei didn't collapse after you being there for a while, but it seems Hueco Mundo won't be able to endure you.]
"*Moan* Forget about the snacks and continue what you are doing, please."
'Damn, she straight up read my mind. Hinata's "Yuna Sense" is getting rather strong. Mhh~ I should probably come up with a good name for that~'
[Please spare us.]
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

As soon as Harribel stopped talking, the trio's eyes widened in surprise, and not even a second later, all three of them got up from the couch they were sitting on and kneeled in front of Harribel. """We'll never tell anyone anything about it!!!""" Good, at least your three followers have a good brain between their ears. 'Is it just my imagination, or are you getting ruder?' Definitely just your imagination. Anyway, unlike Harribel, who had some doubt about who she should follow, Emilou, Franceska, and Cyan had not a speck of doubt in their body. They were Harribel's loyal subordinates, and if she asked them to do something, they would do so even if it cost them their life. Seeing the three people in front of her, worship glowing in their eyes, Harribel couldn't help but smile warmly before slowly insheathing her Zanpakuto, drawing the trio's attention. "This is the new discovery I was talking about. Flood, Gran Tiburon Blanco." As soon as Harribel stopped speaking, her three followers could only look at her dumbfounded, while her Zanpakuto transformed, as Harribel stayed completely unchanged. After all, that was not how a Hollow's release should work. After releasing their swords, they were supposed to regain their original Hollow powers. Meanwhile, Harribels sword became somewhat thicker as the whole thing turned ocean blue, somewhat resembling an elongated shark fin. "What was that?" "What did you do, Harribel-sama?" "N-No way! S-Shikai!?" While Emilou and Franceska were stunned due what they had just witnessed, Cyan was much calmer, and after analyzing what had changed for a brief moment, she instantly came up with a theory, attracting the attention of the other two. "Shikai? What are you talking about?" "There is no way Harribel-sama could use Shikai. That's a Shinigami's power!" Before the trio could discuss the matter any further, Harribel decided to step in and solve the riddle for them. "Yes, that was a Shikai release, and I feel like I'll be able to use Bankai as well at some point. Additionally, I think it's possible to do so on top of using Resurreccion." Naturally, the trio's eyes bulged as soon as Harribel finished her explanation. All three of them realized that it would be an incredible jump in power to be able to use not only an Arrancar's trump card but a Shinigami's as well. "How is that possible, Harribel-sama? How can you use a Shinigami technique, despite being a Hollow?" "Am I a Hollow, Cyan? No, I've become an Arrancar. It would be weirder if I couldn't use Shinigami techniques while being half Shinigami." After thinking about it for a short moment, all three of Harribel's followers started eagerly nodding their heads. It was clear that all three of them wanted to use whatever method Harribel used to get stronger themselves. "Unfortunately, I'm not the one who found out about this, nor am I capable of helping you unlock this power. If you want to gain the same powers I got, then you would need to entrust yourself to an outsider, which would end up in you owning them a favor. Are you willing?" "H-Harribel-sama, who exactly are we talking about? Is it that feminine-looking crazy scientist Arrancar?" Hearing Cyan's question, Harribel simply shrugged her shoulders before answering her question. "No, it isn't. In fact, the one who helped gain this power isn't even a Hollow. The one who found out about this, and helped me realize this power, is Yuna Uzumaki." Although the trio wasn't entirely sure, all three of them felt a shiver go done their spines as soon as Harribel said that name. Obviously, they knew about the human that decided to follow Aizen for some reason, but neither of them had ever interacted with her due to not having any interest in her, but now, after hearing her name, all three of them felt like they were about to walk into the belly of a beast. Meanwhile, back in Yuna's room that was currently filled with a woman's moans, Yuna's head was currently placed between a pair of thighs as a weird feeling passed through her body. 'Weird, I feel like someone is about to deliver some snacks to me soon.' *Sigh* I had some hopes that after Seireitei didn't collapse after you being there for a while, but it seems Hueco Mundo won't be able to endure you. "*Moan* Forget about the snacks and continue what you are doing, please." 'Damn, she straight up read my mind. Hinata's "Yuna Sense" is getting rather strong. Mhh~ I should probably come up with a good name for that~' Please spare us.
