Naruto and Grimmjow stood looking at each other, waiting to see which of them would make the first move.

Half a distance away from them was Bawabawa and from behind him Nel and her fracción peeked out.

Meanwhile, Harribel and her fracción were in the throne room, witnessing what would be an interesting combat, for though they knew of the strength and power of the 6th espada, they didn't know what the unknown human was capable of.

"I'm feeling generous today, human, so I'll let you launch the first attack." said Grimmjow.

"Really?" asked Naruto in surprise before giving him a toothy grin. "Very well. Then don't regret it." said Naruto before waving his hands. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" shouted Naruto wrapping himself in several bursts of smoke.

By the time the smoke cleared, everyone's eyes widened at the sight of Naruto along with several clones of him.

"Has he doubled up?" asked Grimmjow.

"Wow. Is that a jutsu? Awesome!" said Nel.

"Well to me it reminds me of the technique Szayelaporro used against us." said Pesche remembering his fight against the 8th espada.

"Not a good memory, you know what I mean?" said Dondochakka, as they almost died in that fight had it not been for that division captain.


"How did he do that?" asked Apacci.

"Was it because of that energy inside her?" asked Sung-Sun.

"It must be an illusion." said Mila Rose.

"No. I think there's more to that technique than meets the eye." said Harribel.


"Charge!" shouted Naruto as he and his clones charged into the fray with war cries.

"Tsk. I don't know how you did it, but you're not going to fool me with such a pathetic illusion." said Grimmjow.

Just as a Naruto clone lunged to strike, Grimmjow reacted quickly and hit him first, causing him to disappear in an explosion of smoke.

"You see? You're nothing but useless copies that…" began Grimmjow before getting punched in the face by a clone. "What? I felt that punch." thought Grimmjow in shock.

In the next instant, Naruto's clones started punching and kicking him.

Grimmjow blocked a few attacks before he set about punching the clones hard, taking them out in bursts of smoke.


"I knew it. They may be copies, but they may be as realistic as the original." said Harribel with interest.

"Some technique. That human can practically create an entire army of himself." said Mila Rose in amazement.

"Looks like Grimmjow is in trouble." said Apacci.

"Maybe, but he hasn't shown what he can do yet." said Sung-Sun.


Grimmjow continued to block attacks and eliminate Naruto clones for a while.

"I'm already tired of this." said Grimmjow before using sonido to quickly disappear.

"Huh? Where did it go?" asked Naruto.

"On top of you!" said Kurama.

Naruto looked up to see Grimmjow standing in the air above him, as if he was on an invisible platform.

"I'll take them all out in one blow." began Grimmjow before pointing down his hand, in which a sphere of red energy formed. "Cero!" shouted Grimmjow shooting a red energy beam that impacted directly into the ground, taking out all of the clones.

Naruto was able to manage to jump back to avoid being hit by the attack.

"A little more and I don't count it. What was that attack?" asked Naruto.

"Concentrate on the fight first. You'll ask questions later." said Kurama.

However, before Naruto could react, Grimmjow used sonido to appear in front of him quickly.

"That's too fast." thought Naruto in horror.

"Now it's my turn to attack." said Grimmjow with a wild grin before throwing a punch forward.

Naruto put his arms up as a shield, but the blow from the 6th espada was too strong to fully contain it and he ended up sliding backwards.

By the time he lowered his arms, he saw Grimmjow appearing in front of him with his arm pulled back to throw another punch, but Naruto was able to quickly avoid it before throwing his own punch, but Grimmjow blocked it with his other arm.

In the next instant, the two entered into a physical duel, throwing punches at each other, only for them to be blocked or dodged.

Unfortunately, Naruto could feel the strength of the 6th espada through every blow he blocked and it was greater than he imagined.

If he didn't do something soon, it would end up breaking his bones.

It was then that Naruto blocked another blow and took advantage of that to push himself backwards, catching distance in the process before gesturing with his hands.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" shouted Naruto creating, through explosions of smoke, several clones of himself that launched themselves towards the sixth sword.

"That trick again? It won't do you any good now." began Grimmjow before using sonido to quickly move among the clones and destroy them all through punches and kicks, generating so many smoke explosions that it covered the whole place. "Trying to hide in the smoke? What a cowardly trick."

That's when he felt Naruto's energy approaching him along with something else.

By the time the smoke cleared, he saw Naruto along with a clone of him tearing the air over his open palm, creating, in the process, a sphere of blue energy.

Before Grimmjow could react, Naruto quickly charged towards him with the energy sphere in hand.

"Rasengan!" shouted Naruto directing the sphere towards him.

Grimmjow quickly put up his arms as a shield, letting the sphere impact on them.

He tried to resist the power of the sphere proved to be too much for him and ended up being thrown backwards as he spun around like a top before falling to the ground.

"Incredible! He hit Grimmjow!" exclaimed Nel in amazement.

"It's amazing, you know what I mean?" said Dondochakka.

"Maybe I really have a chance against him." said Pesche.


"That technique is really powerful if he was able to do that to the 6th espada." said Mila Rose.

"Don't talk nonsense! Just because it did that to Grimmjow, doesn't mean it's powerful enough to take down Lady Harribel!" said Apacci.

"I didn't say that! I'm simply amazed at how strong that human is turning out to be!" said Mila Rose.

"What do you think, Lady Harribel?" asked Sung-Sun.

"I recognize that technique is powerful, but who knows what level it may actually be." said Harribel without taking her eyes off the screen.


Soon after, Grimmjow rose from the ground with ease, showing no injury to his body.

"Wow. You seem to be more interesting than I imagined, human. Maybe you can really entertain me." said Grimmjow.

"I have a name and it's Naruto Uzumaki!" said Naruto.

"I don't care." began Grimmjow before pointing his hand at him as a sphere of energy formed in it. "Because you won't live long. Cero!" shouted Grimmjow shooting a beam of red energy, completely engulfing the jinchuriki.

"NARUTO!" shouted Nel in horror.

Just as the 6th espada's attack ceased, Naruto suddenly appeared behind him, as he had managed to dodge the attack using the ninja switch technique.

"Then, I'll make sure you never forget it." began Naruto before crouching down and clasping his hands together, with his index and middle fingers stretched out and then lunging straight towards the 6th espada. "Leaf Village Secret Finger Jutsu: One Thousand Years of Death!" shouted Naruto directing his fingers straight towards his…

"AAAHHH!" shouted Grimmjow so loudly that it could be heard from a LONG distance away.

Nel covered her mouth with her hands as she blushed slightly.

Dondochakka and Pesche's mouths dropped open (Well, only Dondochakka, since Pesche doesn't have a mouth).


The eyes of both Harribel and her fracción widened in surprise when they saw the jinchuriki's attack.

Harribel's fracción fell silent for a moment before their cheeks puffed out and unable to contain it any longer, they burst out laughing loudly.

"I never thought I'd say this, but I feel sorry for poor Grimmjow! HAHAHA." said Apacci holding her stomach as she laughed.

"He nailed him good with that hit! Literally! HAHAHA." said Mila Rose pointing at the screen as she laughed.

"I've never seen anything so funny in my life. Hahaha." said Sung-Sun laughing as she covered her mouth with her sleeve.


Naruto stood upright as he saw Grimmjow lying on the ground as he groaned from the pain from the earlier attack.

"What do you say to me now, huh?" asked Naruto with a smug grin.

Grimmjow got up from the ground and turned to see the jinchuriki with an angry look on his face.

"You filthy human. How dare you do that to me?" asked Grimmjow.

"Ouch. I guess I shouldn't have done that." thought Naruto nervously.

"Oh, you think?" asked Kurama with a bead of sweat.

"I'm going to kill you!" exclaimed Grimmjow lunging towards him with murderous intent.

Naruto had to jump back quickly to dodge a punch from the 6th espada which, upon impacting the ground, created an explosion of sand due to the force of the blow.


"Looks like Grimmjow is going to take it seriously now." said Sung-Sun.

"Haha. No wonder. After what that human has done, anyone would." said Apacci wiping away a tear due to crying from laughing.

"That human is doomed." said Mila Rose.

While they were commenting, Harribel didn't lose her focus on the jinchuriki, being very curious what she would do in that situation.

"What will you do now in that situation, human?" asked Harribel mentally.


Naruto came out of the cloud of dust generated by the sand, before Grimmjow also came out of there to give a blow to the jinchuriki who quickly dodged it.

Grimmjow started throwing multiple punches non-stop and although Naruto was able to dodge them all, he was finding it very difficult due to the speed at which he was throwing the punches, even grazing his face and body.

It was then that Grimmjow finally punched him in the face, followed by another one to then, use sonido to quickly appear behind Naruto and give him a kick that sent him forward and rolling a bit on the ground, but Naruto quickly got up.

"You think by a couple of lucky punches you're going to be able to take me? You're nothing more than a mere human!" said Grimmjow.

"You're wrong. I'm no mere human, I'm a ninja of the Hidden Leaf Village and one day I'll be the Hokage!" declared Naruto with determination.


"Hidden Leaf Village?" asked Harribel.

"Hokage?" asked the three of Harribel's fracción.


"I don't know what that is, but you'll be none of that because I'll kill you in no time!" said Grimmjow.

"You're welcome to that!" began Naruto before creating a clone next to him and the two began to rip through the air over their open palms. "I'm not going to die! Not here, not now!" exclaimed Naruto before he and his clone charged towards the 6th espada as the two held a huge sphere of energy. "Odama Rasengan!" shouted the two Naruto at the same time.

"That attack won't work on you twice!" began Grimmjow stretching his arm towards them as he charged an energy sphere. "Cero!" shouted Grimmjow shooting a red energy beam as the two Naruto directed the sphere towards the incoming attack.

As the two attacks collided with each other, a huge explosion erupted generating a wind so strong that Nel and her fracción had to duck to avoid flying away.

Grimmjow stared at the huge smokescreen, expecting that attack to kill the jinchuriki, but then, several Naruto clones came out from inside and launched themselves at the 6th espada so fast that he couldn't react.

"Naruto 2K Uzumaki Barrage!" the clones shouted as they all gave him between them a single punch that, due to the sheer number of clones, sent Grimmjow flying backwards.

Grimmjow quickly got up to look angrily at the clones.

"Cero!" shouted Grimmjow shooting an energy beam from his hand which, with an arm sweep, caused the beam to strike all of the clones, eliminating them in the process.

Soon after, Naruto emerged from the smoke with two energy spheres in each hand.

"Rasenrengan!" shouted Naruto impacting both spheres into the 6th espada, sending it flying backwards at such a speed that it ended up impacting against the wall of Las Noches, generating cracks in the process.

Grimmjow detached himself from the wall to emit a snarl of rage at the jinchuriki.

"You want to play rough? Then I'll play rough." said Grimmjow before using sonido to disappear.

Naruto nervously looked around frantically, bracing himself for any attack, but he was unprepared when Grimmjow appeared next to him and punched him and then, the next instant, disappeared and appeared again on the other side to punch him again and thus disappear again.

For a while, Grimmjow was using sonido to move quickly around Naruto while punching him so fast that he didn't give him a second to react.

It went on like this for a while until Grimmjow appeared in front of Naruto and gave him an uppercut that launched him high in the air.

Suddenly, Naruto regained his composure and took advantage of that moment to create a clone of himself above him.

Quick as lightning, they created a huge sphere of energy in the authentic Naruto's hand.

"Cho Odama Rasengan!" shouted Naruto directing the sphere towards the 6th espada, who instinctively drew his sword and used it to block the attack.

Seconds later, an explosion occurred.


"I'm surprised he still wants to fight after all those punches." said Mila Rose.

"Either he's tougher than he looks or he's too stubborn to give up." said Apacci.

"That makes him entertaining though." said Sung-Sun.

"Girls." began Harribel, getting the attention of her fracción. "I want you to do the following."


By the time the smoke cleared, Naruto could be seen facing Grimmjow who stood quietly with the sword in front of him.

All was silent until suddenly, to Naruto's surprise, Grimmjow laughed lightly.

"I congratulate you, human. I didn't think I'd have to pull out my zanpakuto to block a single attack of yours. You're turning out to be better than I thought." said Grimmjow with a feral grin.

"And I still have more tricks up my sleeve." said Naruto.

"I'm glad to hear that, because that won't make me the only one." said Grimmjow stabbing his sword into the ground and then ran his hand across the sharp blade, drawing a little blood.

After that, Grimmjow pointed his wounded hand at the jinchuriki while holding his arm with his other hand like a shotgun.

It was then that a sphere of sparkling blue energy formed in the hand.

"Let's see if you can survive this!" exclaimed Grimmjow madly.

"Heads up, Naruto!" said Kurama sensing the enormous power of the charging attack.

"Yes!" said Naruto preparing to block or dodge the attack.

"Gran Rey Cero!" shouted Grimmjow shooting a huge sphere of blue colored energy.

Unfortunately, the attack, instead of flying towards Naruto, flew up into the sky before bursting in a huge explosion that could be felt from the ground.

This was caused by Apacci grabbing Grimmjow's arm and lifting it up, causing the attack to be deflected.

Not only was she there, but also Mila Rose and Sung-Sun.

"Huh?" asked Naruto very confused, as he didn't expect this turn of events.

"That's enough, Grimmjow!" said Apacci.

"Fuck me!" exclaimed Grimmjow pulling his arm away from the grip of the fracción member. "What the hell are you two doing here? Stay out of this!"

"We're sorry to ruin your playtime, but we've been given orders to take him with us." said Mila Rose pointing her thumb at the jinchuriki.

"So unless you want to answer to her, you'd better obey." said Sung-Sun.

Grimmjow clenched his teeth and fists in frustration.

He was in the middle of a fight and suddenly, the three of them came and interrupted them.

The worst part was that it was an order from Harribel who, unfortunately for him, was way above him because of the rank they held.

It was like when he was fighting Ichigo and Ulquiorra, the 4th espada appeared to stop him or when he wanted to keep fighting despite losing to Ichigo in their second fight, only for Nnoitra, the 5th espada, to attack him unawares.

"Listen to me well, Naruto Uzumaki!" exclaimed Grimmjow, catching the jinchuriki's attention. "This isn't over, do you hear me?! The next time we meet, we'll finish our fight and I'll be the one to kill you, got it?!"

"Really? You want to fight again after what he did to your rear?" asked Apacci with an amused smirk, mentioning when Naruto attacked him from behind.

That made the 6th espada growl in further frustration as he discovered that they had seen the most embarrassing moment of his long life.

Naruto answered that with a toothy grin.

"Sure. I'll be waiting for you, Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez." said Naruto causing the 6th espada to give him a toothy grin of his own.

"You haven't even spent a day here and you've already got yourself a rival/enemy." said Kurama.

"Oh come on, what's wrong with him? Besides, he doesn't seem like a bad person at heart. In fact, he reminds me a bit of Kiba." thought Naruto.

"Only he's much wilder than him." said Kurama.

"Alright, now that everything is finished, come with us, human." said Apacci.

"Hey, wait a minute, who are you supposed to be?" asked Naruto.

"Huh? Don't you know?" asked Mila Rose.

"Of course not! I'm totally new to this place!" said Naruto.

"I'm Sung-Sun and the brutes over there…" began Sung-Sun pointing at her classmates.

"Hey!" said Apacci and Mila Rose in unison.

"These are my classmates, Apacci and Mila Rose." finished Sung-Sun introducing herself and the others. "We three are the fracción of Lady Harribel, who has requested your presence."

Naruto was shocked to find out that these girls were the arrancar serving Harribel, the 3rd espada and current ruler of Hueco Mundo.

"Really? She wants to see me?" asked Naruto pointing to himself.

"Yes, so you're already coming with us quietly or we'll have to take you by force." said Apacci.

"Okay, okay. Relax, I'll come with you…" began Naruto.

"Naruto!" shouted Nel as she headbutted the jinchuriki in the back, causing him to double over as he screamed in pain. "Thank goodness. For a moment there I thought something bad would happen to you."

Despite the tremendous blow to his back, Naruto stood up and turned around to see the arrancar girl with a smile.

"Don't worry, Nel. I've been through worse. I'll be fine." said Naruto patting the arrancar girl's head, reassuring her in the process.

After that, Naruto turned to look at the members of the fracción.

"Alright, take me to your leader." said Naruto with a smile.
