Goddess of Ice: Corrupting Bleach - Chapter 84: Solving Hueco Mundo
*Author Note*
Sorry, this one is a little short~
*End ofAuthor Note*
Loud explosions roared over the desert of Hueco Mundo as a pure black sword clashed with a pair of gauntlets hundreds of times within a short period of time, every clash producing a powerful shockwave.
“HAHAHA, IT’S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I HAD SUCH A FUN FIGHT!!!”
As the battle between Naruto and Ichigo continued, Naruto couldn’t help himself but laugh loudly due to how much fun he had. Ichigo was the strongest opponent he had since he arrived in this world, so how couldn’t he enjoy himself?
The duo clashed again, much stronger than before, resulting in both of them sliding backward a few dozen meters, and as soon as they came to a halt, Ichigo lowered his head and pointed his horns at Naruto, forming a [Cero].
Seeing what Ichigo was preparing for him, Naruto raised his arm and pointed his index finger at Ichigo, forming a [Cero] as well.
Seconds later, the two attacks were unleashed, causing two distorted roars to echo through Hueco Mundo, and a moment later, the two attacks collided, causing a colossal explosion that blew away everything in a radius of hundreds of meters, ripping a deep crater into Hueco Mundo’s desert.
Meanwhile, the spectators could only be in awe due to what they saw. Previously, the fight against Ulquiorra was already beyond outrageous, but now, they were witnessing an entirely different level of power.
‘Is it really possible for me to become this powerful… No! What am I hesitating about? Naruto clearly told me that I could become stronger than the current him, so I’ll trust his words!’
These were Tatsuki’s words, as she was much more interested in becoming strong herself than comprehending what she was currently witnessing. While her mood was still rather good, Orihime became increasingly desperate as the Ichigo she knew seemed to have vanished and was replaced with a monster instead.
‘Kurosaki-kun, please return to the kind you and stop being the monster I see before me.’
Ishida, on the other hand, had pretty much given up his fate to the two people fighting in front of him who were so far above his league in power that he couldn’t even fathom what was going on anymore.
And finally, there was Nel, who looked at Naruto in fascination. Hollow were attracted to strength, and the kind and gentle Naruto she knew suddenly displayed power beyond what she had ever seen felt incredibly alluring to her.
The battle continued, but as Naruto and Ichigo were clashing continuously, Ichigo slowly and surely was getting pressured by Naruto, who steadily increased his performance, going from only using his fists to using more and more of his tails.
“Hahaha! You are doing well, ICHIGO!!!”
After another powerful clash, the duo was yet again separated, and as Naruto was sliding backward, his ten tails pointed at Ichigo, causing a [Cero] to appear on the tips of all ten of them.
Shooting the ten [Cero] simultaneously, Naruto continued laughing like a maniac while Ichigo raised his sword, gathering audacious amounts of Spiritual Power in its blade before swinging the weapon down.
Although Ichigo only let loose a Hollow-like roar, it was clear that the attack he shot was an extremely high-powered [Getsuga Tensho] that formed a colossal wave of dense black Spiritual Power.
The ten [Cero] and Ichigo’s [Getsuga Tensho] collided, yet again ripping apart huge chunks of land due to the collision of two superpowered attacks.
However, Naruto wasn’t done yet, since as he and Ichigo got covered by dust from the explosion, he clapped his hands together as a vicious expression appeared on his face.
Seconds later, the dust settled, revealing a somewhat winded Ichigo while Naruto still had his hand together in what looked like a praying position.
“Hehe, let’s finish this, Ichigo. Don’t you die on me~”
After Naruto finished speaking, he separated his hands, revealing a small yellow spinning ball of Spiritual Power. However, that ball didn’t remain small for long, as the further Naruto spread his hands, the larger it became, resulting in a sphere with a diameter of around ten meters hovering above his head.
Seeing the looming sphere of death hovering above Naruto, Ichigo yet again let loose a beastly roar as another [Cero] condensed between his horns. However, unlike a normal [Cero], this one was so black that it seemed to actively steal away all the light around it.
Moments later, Ichigo unleashed his attack at Naruto, who wasn’t worried, as he knew he would make it in time to prepare his own attack.
As the massive orb was hovering above him, his ten tails moved and pointed their tips at the sphere from all directions, and moments later, the sphere started shrinking.
From an outsider’s perspective, it looked as if the ten tails were actively squeezing the sphere, making it shrink. After doing so for a few seconds, reducing it to a size of about half a meter, Naruto was ready to unleash it.
“Hehe, again, don’t die, Ichigo. [Wind Style: Hyper Condensed Rasenshuriken]!”
Naruto unleashed his little ball of concentrated death, and the moment it collided with Ichigo’s [Cero], the two attacks fought for supremacy for a short moment before Naruto’s attack tore apart Ichigo’s.
Another Hollow roar echoed through Hueco Mundo as Naruto’s Rasenshuriken collided with Ichigo, sending him crashing into the ground before another explosion tore apart parts of Hueco Mundo.
“KUROSAKI-KUN!!!”
Seeing the devastation caused by Naruto’s attack and realizing that Ichigo was in the center of that devastation, Orihime couldn’t help but scream in despair, thinking that Ichigo had just perished.
However, Naruto could only shake his head when he saw that, as he was fully aware that Ichigo wouldn’t die so easily. Since he had fought Ichigo for a while now, Naruto was fully aware that Ichigo had the Arrancar exclusive skill called Hierro, which made them incredibly hard to kill, and on top of that, he possessed an extremely high level of self-regeneration.
So, even if Ichigo lost a limb or two due to Naruto’s attacks, those could just be regrown.
And, as if to prove his thoughts correctly, the moment the dust settled, Ichigo’s form was revealed, all limbs intact and clearly alive. As Naruto briefly wondered whether Ichigo could continue fighting, a bright light shone from his hollowfied parts. Before anyone could understand what was happening, Ichigo’s mask hand turned into light particles and moved toward his Hollow hole, filling it back up and returning Ichigo to his regular Shinigami form.
It took a few seconds, but Ichigo opened his eyes rather quickly, followed by him looking around in confusion, not understanding what was happening at all.
“KUROSAKI-KUN!!!”
While Orihime turned into a bullet and smashed into Ichigo, almost reaping his life, Naruto slowly descended and landed in front of the spectators, the overbearing auro he was leaking automatically making them uncomfortable.
Nel, who was the most adept at sensing someone’s strength, couldn’t help but be wary, half expecting Naruto to be the same as Ichigo previously was: A mindless monster.
However, her worries were very swiftly crushed when Naruto smiled brightly while removing the mask from his face, revealing that he was still the same Naruto he had always been.
“NARUTO!!!”
Obviously, Nel was overjoyed seeing that Naruto was fine and instantly hugged him, pressing his head between her breasts as a somewhat child-like cry of joy escaped her mouth.
Seeing Naruto’s head vanishing between Nel’s breast Tatsuki was… not as jealous as she expected to be. She had already bounded with Nel to some degree, while Naruto had already told her that many women were waiting for him elsewhere, making her realize that she either had to accept the situation or break up with Naruto… She didn’t want to break up.
The last few months, she had more fun with Naruto than she ever had in her life, and even the occasion battle to the death she had experienced only made her enjoy everything even more.
‘I-If it’s Nel, I-Im fine with it.’
Just like that, the first seed of corruption was planted in Tatsuki’s previously pure mind, and all it took was witnessing a battle of epic proportions and a loli turning into a bombshell.
Meanwhile, Naruto was struggling, as his face was still deeply burrowed in Nel’s cleavage, preventing him from breathing. Obviously, he could overpower Nel and push her away, but considering his luck, he did not doubt that that would somehow end up with him groping her breasts.
‘Ah, to think I would go the way Nee-san has always dreamed about: Suffocation by a pair of massive breasts. I bet she will be jealous if she hears about this. Farewell, Kurama.’
[Die already, you damn degenerate.]
A few minutes passed, and after Naruto managed to survive Nel’s assassination attempt, due to her suddenly returning to her kid form, Hueco Mundo became somewhat quiet, as the only sounds that could be heard were Orihime explaining to Ichigo what had happened while he was unconsciousness, instantly making him feel guilty.
Seeing the guilt in Ichigo’s eyes, Naruto couldn’t help but roll his eyes at him.
“What are you looking like that for, Ichigo? Sad that I kicked your ass?”
“Wha…? NO! I-I…”
“You are depressed that your inner Hollwo made trouble yet again and that I had to step in to clean your bumbum to stop you from hurting any of your friends.”
Ichigo opened his mouth to argue against Naruto’s degrading words, but the more he tried to come up with an argument, the less confident he felt.
No matter how he looked at it if Naruto didn’t stop him, he would have killed every single one of his friends within Hueco Mundo.
Seeing Ichigo getting even more depressed, Naruto scoffed in disdain as he started poking Ichigo’s forehead with his finger.
“Stop wallowing in self-doubt like a little bitch. If your weakness caused you problems, then just get stronger. Did you lose anyone important to you or anything you care about? No! So, stop being a whiny little bitch, man up, and get stronger!”
Although Naruto’s words were harsh, Ichigo still managed to get back a resemblance of composure after he finished speaking.
‘Indeed! I haven’t lost anything! All I need to do is get even stronger so a situation like this never happens again.’
“Che, are you finally done with this fight? You sure took the best one for yourself, didn’t you?”
Suddenly, three more people appeared, and the first one to speak was Kenpachi, who wasn’t happy that Naruto clearly snatched away the most interesting fight in this place.
“Ara~ Isn’t it fine~ I’ll just heal everyone up, and then we can return to the world of the living to fight Aizen.”
Hearing Retsu’s words and that he would have a chance to participate in even more interesting battles, Kenpachi instantly mellowed out while an excited smile appeared on his face.
“Hehe, I’m looking forward to it.”
“Idiots. Don’t you even realize in what kind of situation we are in? This is Hueco Mundo. Shinigami have no knowledge about how to travel from this dimension into another one, so I’ll need some time to do some research before we can leave.”
Hearing Mayuri’s words, Naruto tilted his head in confusion before addressing Mayuri.
“Traveling from here to somewhere else? Can’t we just use a Garganta to do so?”
Hearing Naruto’s words, Mayuri looked at him like he was an idiot before scoffing in disdain.
“A Garganta? Are you stupid? Garganta is an exclusive technique only Hollwo can use, so it’s impossible for us Shinigami to…”
“I opened one~”
“…open a… WHAT THE HELL!?”
While Mayuri was monologing, Naruto casually raised his hand and slashed it down, causing a black portal to appear in front of him, clearly signalizing that he had successfully opened a Garganta.
Seeing the bewilderment on Mayuri’s face, Naruto innocently tilted his head as he resumed speaking.
“I mean, I’m aware that this technique is exclusive to Hollow, but I’m kind of half a Hollow, right? I mean, if I can fire a [Cero], then what is stopping me from opening a Garganta?”
While everyone casually stepped through the Garganta, Naruto opened Mayuri repeatedly opened and closed his mouth without knowing how he was supposed to comment on the current situation.
He had claimed that Shinigami couldn’t open a Garganta, and while he was explaining why, Naruto casually opened one. How could he not be irritated by that?
‘Damn, I hate these two siblings so much.’
