Alright, this shall be a Bleach X Naruto crossover, and this story shall be for Exanime Draco's Bleach/Naruto crossover prompt.
The summary is that the sealing of the Kyūbi left a new kekkai genkai into Naruto, one that would have never existed. In another universe, Harribel has died, but was granted another chance in Naruto's world. She is told to be the friend of Naruto for this chance, and to teach him. They both have the arrancar kekkai genkai.
Well, let's start this off with my usual song!
I found a note with your name
And a picture of us
Even though it was framed
And covered in dust
It's the map in my mind that sends me on my way
They say it's never too late
To stop being afraid
And there is no one else here
So why should I wait?
And in the blink of an eye the past begins to fade
So have you ever been caught in a sea of despair?
And your moment of truth
Is the day that you say "I'm not scared"
Put your hands in the air
If you hear me out there
I've been looking for you day and night
Shine a light in the dark
Let me see where you are
'Cause I'm not gonna leave you behind
If I told you that you're not alone
And I show you this is where you belong
Put your hands in the air
One more time
I've seen a million miles
Met a million faces
Took all I knew
To reach all these places
And I'd do it again
If it brings me back to you
So have you ever been caught in a sea of despair?
And your moment of truth
Is the day that you say "I'm not scared"
Put your hands in the air
If you hear me out there
I've been looking for you day and night
Shine a light in the dark
Let me see where you are
'Cause I'm not gonna leave you behind
If I told you that you're not alone
And I show you this is where you belong
Put your hands in the air
One more time
Put your hands in the air
Put your hands in the air
If you hear me out there
I've been looking for you day and night
Shine a light in the dark
Let me see where you are
'Cause I'm not gonna leave you behind
If I told you that you're not alone
And I show you this is where you belong
Put your hands in the air
One more time
Put your hands in the air
One more time...

~ Bleach Universe- Karakura Town ~
The sound of metal clashing echoed throughout the streets of Karakura Town, and if there were any pedestrians, they would have been terrified at the sight of people in robes and bones sword fighting. But there were no pedestrians, and this truly was a life or death situation.
Tier Harribel managed to fend for herself well. She knew her comrades were gone, leaving the two Shinigami- Aizen and Gin- left. She knew that she probably the only Espada left alive, as the top three Espada had left when there were ryoka in Las Noches. Harribel wasn't foolish; she took Aizen's words to heart when he called them threats.
But she wasn't in Las Noches. She was in this human town, an exact replica of the town to be exact, and she was fighting for her life. Sung-Sun, Mila Rose, and Apache were gone, never to bicker at each other once again. And now, Harribel had their wills in her, fighting to survive and continue their legacy.
Currently, she was fighting the Taichō, Tōshirō Hitsugaya of the tenth division, and two girls who had appeared out of nowhere. She managed to get that they gained incredible powers from what seemed to be Hollow masks, so she knew what to avoid from them.
It was like an intricate dance. Harribel dodged from the left or right, or blocked sword strikes from three different positions. It was rather easy, as they didn't bother to change their positions after every jab, and she could easily read them.
She felt energy disappear from her right, and she glanced over quickly. What she saw shocked her deeply. The first and supposedly most powerful Espada, Coyote Stark, fell limply to the streets below. From his lack of a signature, and Lilynette's disappearance, it was evident the lazy man was dead.
A flicker of energy appeared from Harribel's right, and she recognized it as Aizen's signature. She turned to her master, but her eyes widened when he smirked at her. Before she could react, he slashed her across the chest. She gasped as the blood spurted from the gaping wound, and she felt her energy leaving her quickly.
"Why?" She choked out as some blood escaped her mouth, the metallic taste being left behind in her mouth. Her pure white mask was stained with blood, even in her Resurrección form.
"You had no more use to me. The Espada are all dead, they failed." Was all Aizen said as Harribel felt her vision leaving her. She fell limp, and crashed into the rubble below, her eyes slowly closing into the impending darkness. Her final thoughts were shocked, and her heart felt betrayed by Aizen.
Hell was different than she thought it was. It seemed too bright, as all she could really see was white. Harribel felt uncomfortable, she was used to the eternal night of Las Noches.
"Welcome, Tier Harribel." A voice boomed from her right, and she glanced over in that direction. A man that was as bright as the sun was standing there, and she could've sworn that there was a smirk on his face.
"Who are you?" She questioned, her green orbs narrowed to slits.
The man seemed to grin even larger then responded, "I am Kami."
Harribel stared blankly at the man. There was no way in hell that he was Kami of all people.
"Hmph!" 'Kami' huffed, "No one believes me anymore when I say that!" Anime tears seemed to fall down his face, and he sulked for a moment before straightening. "Anyhoo, you're probably wondering why I brought you here." He stated, and Harribel raised an eyebrow at his antics. He was rather childlike, similar to how Lilynette once was.
"Well, I'm here to give you a second chance!" This caught Harribel's attention immediately, and her hopeful jade orbs stared at the man.
"How do you intend to do that?" Harribel questioned, and her tone was full of wonder.
"You must do a deed in that land. If you succeed, you get to live a mortal life, and when you die, you get to go to Soul Society. Fair enough?" He questioned, and Harribel nodded immediately. It did seem rather fair, especially to someone like her.
"What do I have to do?" She questioned, her mind already made.
"You shall know what your duty is when your time comes." Kami vaguely stated as a bright light enveloped her, and she popped out of that existence.
~ In another alternate universe- Konohagakure ~
"You can do it, Kushina!" A blonde man encouraged his wife as she gripped metal rods in agony. Kushina let out a scream as she felt the baby come out of her, and then smiled as she held him.
"It's….N…Naruto…." She whispered as she held the crying baby to her chest. A motherly smile came to her face, until Naruto was ripped out of her arms.
"NARUTO!" She screamed as a masked man held a kunai over the baby's throat, and the ensuing chaos followed.
The nine tailed Bijū, the Kyūbi was released from the woman Kushina, and attacked the Village Hidden in the Leaves. In the middle of a wrecked home, a newborn baby sat crying. Her jade orbs were wide with terror as she wailed for her mother, for anyone.
A shinobi found her and whisked her to safety. The Kyūbi was soon sealed into a boy, the same boy a woman named Kushina gave birth to.
Destiny was going to occur three years later, on a fateful day in an orphanage. The two fated ones were finally going to meet.
