Naruto's Bizarre Adventure

by Takeshi1225

First it all started with a race, then ghost like entities, beings from stone pillars, a tenacious cult, a crazy eighteenth century vampire who could stop time, and finally a combination of two of the worse people you ever had the misfortune to know. Yare yare daze. Safe to say, this blonde's going to have one Bizarre Adventure.

4. A Thin Underground

Naruto's Bizarre Adventure

Part 1: Golden Race

Chapter 4: The Thin Underground

Last Time on Naruto's Bizarre Adventure!

Our heroes had made it to their first destination. Sunagakure, home of Gaara, the future Kazekage. After retrieving their scrolls, Naruto received a new set of clothes. Once heading out the village, the three encountered a new Stand user by the name of Orzabal, possessing a Stand that could tear anything apart. Including the air itself. The name of the Stand, Tears for Fears.

Orzabal had attacked one of his own village's shinobi, named Darui, for the reason that he was of a different color. On a four against one battle, Orzabal, despite earning great damage, almost managed to defeat our heroes single handedly, but during the fight, Darui was stabbed by the arrow, earning his new Stand, Power Station, which had defeated Orzabal.

However with the last bit of strength he had left, he tried to murder Chojuro, the only non-stand user of the group, before his own death. Luckily Chojuro was saved, but it came at the cost of Naruto's innocence, as our blonde hero was forced to kill Orzabal in order to save Chojuro.

Distraught, but refusing to let it bring him down, Naruto continued on his journey with his team, now with their new member, Darui.

Our heroes head out to continue the race, but the mysterious threat of this new group that Orzabal, Jabs and Newton and John were a part of still lingered in their minds.

Who is this new group? Are they really a group filled with Stand users? What kind of threat do they pose? And will our heroes manage to overcome these new odds coming their way as they advance in their race?

Only time will tell.

Our four heroes still ride the wave of sand Gaara and his Stand Sandstorm control, but they still couldn't help, but think over the recent events.

For Darui it was new, but for Naruto, Gaara and Chojuro, this threat had been lingering for a while and it worries them. So far they had faced powerful opponents that had almost killed them. Hell, Naruto had been having such close calls with these enemies. So far he had three near death experiences in three separate battles.

Shit was getting heavy.

"Def Leppard." Chojuro spoke, earning the others attention. "You all heard him right? Orzabal said… 'All hail Def Leppard'. That's the leader."

"Not much of a good clue for us since it sounds fake. I don't think any records would say anything about a shinobi with a name like that." Naruto said.

"You never know." Darui said, sitting upon the sand wave.

"Say… where are we supposed to go anyway?" Naruto asked, sitting down with his knees up and his arms resting on them.

"Hoshigakure." Gaara answered.

"Where's that?" Naruto asked, looking to Gaara.

"It resides in the Land of Bears, next to the Land of Birds."

"… Okay, you're shitting me with these names." Naruto said with dull eyes.

"I am not." Gaara simply answered.

"Seriously, what the hell is up with this journey with bizarre names?" Naruto said to himself. "Anyway, after Hoshi, where do we go from there?" Naruto asked.

"Can't say, unless you want me to cheat." Gaara said.

"Oh come on. We just found out a dangerous group that's now made us number one targets because so far we're the only real threat they'll come across now. We're going to be in a lot of fights which means we'll be wasting a lot of time while everyone continues on this race. Don't you think that's a good enough pass to tell use the route?" Naruto tried to convince Gaara.

Gaara looked to the blonde, and noticed that along with the Uzumaki, Darui and Chojuro were looking at him.

"I'll only inform on a bit of our route." Gaara said, which made Naruto grin his trademark grin. "After retrieving the scrolls from Hoshigakure, we travel to Kusagakure, there we head all the way to Iwa."

"Sorry to interrupt, but what about Ame?" Chojuro asked.

"They didn't want to have outsiders come into their village. They're a bit paranoid, but honestly we think there's something else up. Regardless, the race does not cut through Ame." Gaara said. "After Iwa, we head to Takigakure, then we get on a boat that will take us around the Land of Rice Fields to avoid a clash with Oto-nin." Naruto, Chojuro and Darui nodded, understanding the reason. "We'll land in Claw Country, where we'll charter another boat to get to Kiri."

"That part of the trip's going to be the most boring, isn't it?" Naruto asked with his eyes closed.

"… Probably." Gaara answered. "After Kiri… well… I think I've said enough." Gaara said.

"More than enough. This trip sounds like it's going to take months." Darui said.

"Everyone in the race has three months. That is the time limit." Gaara said.

"Wait… I'm confused. From what I remember, if we take the route you suggested, then we'll miss Kumo." Chojuro said.

"Trust me, we'll make it to Kumo." Gaara said.

"Wait, so Kiri comes after Kumo in our travel? What the hell? Why not go to Kumo first?" Naruto asked, completely confused.

"We'll probably be making a figure eight route once we get to Fang Country. Now the question it, where to after Kumo?" Darui spoke up.

"You'll see… in time." Gaara said with his arms crossed.

"Man, this whole race route is confusing." Naruto said with a pout and his eyes closed.

"Guess you're lucky to have us." Chojuro said with a smile.

"Guess so." Naruto said, opening his eyes and having his arms crossed. Naruto's eyes then softened. 'I wonder how Sasuke and Sakura are doing. Do they even miss me? I hope they don't come across these crazy Stand users.' Naruto wondered to himself. Naruto then realized something. "Hey guys… these Stand users… WHAT IF THEY'RE USING THIS RACE TO GET TO ALL THE VILLAGES?!" Naruto screamed in shock. The others remained silent as they stared at him. "Why aren't you guys shocked?!"

"Naruto… we kind of already figured that out." Chojuro said.

"Huh?"

"Ever since Jabs." Gaara answered.

"It's pretty obvious man." Darui said.

"Oh…" Naruto turned around, with his back facing them as he wrapped his arms around his knees. After a few moments of silence, Naruto spoke up again. "Thanks for not rubbing it in."

"No problem." Darui and Chojuro said in unison.

"Whoa, look out!" Darui shouted pointing ahead, but it was too late as the sand wave scooped up a person.

A kunoichi screamed as she was swooped up by a wave of sand and was slammed into a short person, who managed to catch her in their arms.

The looked to one another to notice they were staring into the eyes of the most annoying person they had the misfortune of coming across a third time.

"You Again!" Naruto and Kurotsuchi shouted with annoyed expressions.

Gaara suddenly stopped the wave, causing Naruto and Kurotsuchi to fly off.

"They failed to pay attention." Gaara said as the two screamed until they hit the sandy ground, rolling against it for a while, before they came to a halt. Luckily Naruto held Kurotsuchi tightly, so she didn't roll off and get hurt. Instead she was now on top of him.

Once she raised her head, she noticed that she was on top of the blonde. She blushed as he face was close to his, but then she got angry as she growled with gritting, now sharp, teeth.

"Jackass!" Kurotsuchi yelled as she started strangling Naruto in a comedic way, complete with the blonde's tongue out. Naruto's friends were just staring at the scene, not really showing any shock, surprise, or even amusement. They just seemed calm about it.

"I take it you guys have crossed paths with her before." Darui said.

"Yes. She's the Tsuchikage's daughter. She kind of butts heads with Naruto every time we see her so far." Chojuro said as they watched Kurotsuchi put Naruto in a headlock, then lift him up high and slam him into the ground.

"Sounds about right. Should we stop this? Cause I thought he'd stop this himself."

"Naruto has a tendency to be weak when he's in the presence of an angered woman." Gaara said as Kurotsuchi now was jumping up and down, stomping on Naruto's back.

"Man… that sucks." Darui said. The sand wave lowered back to ground level as the three now started walking over towards the two.

Kurotsuchi had Naruto in another headlock, but she suddenly put her gloved index finger into her mouth and then with an evil smirk, she stuck it into Naruto's ear, giving the blonde a Wet Willie, causing him to scream with an anime expression and tears while Kurotsuchi had a mischievous anime expression with a devious grin.

"Excuse me." Kurotsuchi turned to the three walking over. "Are you okay?" Gaara asked.

"Hell no! I keep bumping into you assholes!" Kurotsuchi shouted as she threw Naruto to the ground, making him go 'ow'. "Except you. You're new." Kurotsuchi said pointing at Darui.

"Sorry. I guess it's just fate." Chojuro said with a bashful smirk as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Screw fate." Kurotsuchi and Naruto said in unison. "Stop Copying Me!" Kurotsuchi shouted as she stomped on the top of Naruto's head.

"Quit Being Violent, You Crazy Woman!" Naruto shouted with an annoyed anime expression.

"Shut it!"

"Please get off our friend." Darui said.

"You're friends? You, a Kumo-nin, consider him a friend?" Kurotsuchi questioned with a dull, yet suspicious look.

"Yes. These guys helped me, so they're nakama." Darui said calmly.

"Hmph. What if I decide not to? What if I want to make him suffer more?" Kurotsuchi said with a half lidded eyes, her bottom lip out and her arms crossed.

'She's instigating again!' Naruto thought with annoyance as he glared up at her.

Darui suddenly grabbed the handle of his sword, unsheathe it, lifting it high up, alerting the others. Kurotsuchi got ready to perform hand seals, but suddenly Darui tossed the blade away, causing it to stab into the ground. Everyone looked to it, which caused Naruto to grin, while Gaara and Chojuro smirked.

"What was that supposed to-" suddenly Kurotsuchi when flying. "DO~~~!" Kurotsuchi screamed as she flew towards the sword, but once Darui snapped his fingers, she hit and skidded against the ground. She groaned with a frown as Darui walked over and grabbed the hilt of his sword. "What the hell kind of jutsu was that?!" Kurotsuchi shouted as she got up on her hands and knees.

"No jutsu." Darui took the sword out of the ground. He spun it up high and sheathe it back into the scabbard on his back. "Just a technique you'll never master." Darui said as he turned and walked away.

Kurotsuchi watched the tall Kumo-nin walk back to the others as Naruto got back up to his feet.

"Thanks Darui. That girl can be a pain in the ass." Naruto said dusting himself off.

"I don't get you. You have what has to be the most physically strongest Stand so far, can create your own battalion of clones and can use the Rasengan. How come she was too much for you?" Darui questioned.

'The Rasengan?! The Jutsu of the Yondaime Hokage?!' Kurotsuchi mentally yelled with shock.

"What can I say? Girls freak me out when they get pissed." Naruto said with a shrug.

"And so you'll never hit a girl?"

"I never said that. The only girl Uzumaki Naruto is never afraid to fight against is an evil one who pisses him off!" Naruto shouted, jabbing his thumb into his chest.

Kurotsuchi stared at the four with a serious, thinking look.

'That Kumo-nin is strong. He's proved that with that odd technique. From what he says, the blonde is a tough bastard. Even knowing that damn jutsu. No way would a Kumo-nin lie about that. I don't know what a Stand is, but who cares? From what I see, this team they formed has a pair of sword wielders, one from Kumo, the other from Kiri, a future kage and a blonde, irritating punk who can use the jutsu of Yondaime Hokage and can make several clones at once. This team… they sound like the toughest out there so far. And they're made up of shinobi from each village.' Kurotsuchi rubbed her chin with her index finger as she narrowed her eyes at them. 'I may not like the Konoha brat, but so far it seems I'll advance better in the race with these three. Swallow your pride Kurotsuchi! It's time to get… chummy.'

"Well now that that's done, let's go!" Naruto exclaimed with a grin.

"Oh boys!" They all looked over to Kurotsuchi to see her smiling and walking over to them, waving. "Sorry about the rough housing. I can get a little too rambunctious when I'm surprise." Kurotsuchi said with a 'friendly' smile. The boys looked to one another. "I got to say, for chumps, you guys got to be pretty strong."

"What do you want?" Naruto asked with dull eyes.

"No what's with that look?" Kurotsuchi asked with her hands to her hips.

"Well, so far you've shown you don't like us and now you're getting chummy. You want something, now what is it?"

"Well, seeing as so far from what I can see, you guy seem like you could be a challenge to others. After all, you all are from each of the great hidden villages, but… you seem to be missing someone from Iwa." Kurotsuchi said with a smile and arms crossed.

"You want to join up?" Naruto questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"I gladly accept! Let's go!" Kurotsuchi exclaimed with a grin as she walked pass the four, making them blink their eyes in surprise.

"Nani?! B-But-"

"We're burning daylight!" Kurotsuchi shouted.

"Kuso Onna~." (Damn woman) Naruto growled with annoyance and gritting teeth.

"Um… well, I guess we're a full set now." Chojuro said scratching the back of his head.

"And with her as the fifth? Dammit." Naruto growled as he glared at Kurotsuchi's retreating form.

"We'll have to deal with it. She is a tenacious one." Gaara said.

"But we're now targets of Stand users. Real dangerous ones. After all, our last opponent could split the air with his own." Darui said.

"True, but… the arrow. I can feel it moving in my gourd… and it's pointing at her." Gaara added, shocking the others. "I feel she'll become a Stand user soon enough."

"And by then she'll abandon us." Naruto said, turning his head back to Kurotsuchi.

"Then we'll have to make sure she stays in the group." Gaara said. Naruto, Chojuro and Darui looked to him. "This mysterious group will no doubt eliminate all Stand users that are not on their side. Like us, she'll become a target. The best plan of action is to keep her with us, so we'll have a better chance of survival. A group of Stand users is better than none."

"True." Darui said with a nod.

"Even though I'm not a Stand, I understand and I'll give it my all to help in any way to stop these guys from harming anyone and taking any lives they can." Chojuro said with a serious expression.

Naruto groaned with irritation, but he knew what Gaara said was right. Naruto turned his head back to Kurotsuchi's retreating form.

'As annoying as she is… I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I let her walk off, knowing the danger and just getting killed when I could have done something to hell. So I'm gonna make sure she doesn't get killed by these bastards.' Naruto thought with a serious expression. Kurotsuchi stopped and turned her head to see they hadn't moved, but mostly noticed Naruto staring at her.

"Are You Staring At My Ass, You Pervert?!" Kurotsuchi shouted with an annoyed anime face.

"Yeah Right! Like I would really stare at that thing!" Naruto shouted with an anime expression, pointing at Kurotsuchi's ass. Kurotsuchi growled as she suddenly charged at Naruto faster than sound itself as she punched and delivered a drop kick to Naruto's chest and now slid against the sand, using him as a surfboard, before starting to whale on him.

Gaara, Chojuro and Darui sighed at this.

"It's gonna be a long trip." Darui said.

Our four heroes and the new girl, who honestly we're not sure if we should qualify her as a hero yet, were now riding once again on the sand wave.

'I don't believe it. I could have been easily traveling the desert with these chuckle heads? Guess mom was right about being nice to those not from your home once in a while.' Kurotsuchi thought with a smirk as she laid back against the sand wave with her hands behind her head.

"Um, excuse me, Kurotsuchi-san." Kurotsuchi looked to see Chojuro was addressing her. "Um, we're not normal, even by shinobi standards."

"I can see that." Kurotsuchi said with dull eyes.

"Actually what I mean is, well… we're the only ones with… regular attributes around here." Chojuro said.

"Excuse me?" Kurotsuchi raised an eyebrow.

"You see, Naruto-kun, Gaara-sama and Darui-san have… a different power, other than chakra."

"What power?" Kurotsuchi asked as she picked herself up on her hands.

"It's called Stands." Naruto answered.

"Sutando? I heard him mention you have that before." Kurotsuchi pointed her thumb to Darui, referring to what he said to Naruto earlier. "What's that, some sort of lazy ability where you just stand around while some invisible force kicks ass for you?"

The four males stared at her with wide eyes.

"In a way… yes." Naruto said. "But it's more than that! It takes lots of mental concentration to wield one and they're not invisible to everyone. Other Stand users can see them, which means they can avoid them."

"I see. So these Stands… you three have them. And is that what you used to send my flying to your sword?" Kurotsuchi asked, turning and pointing at Darui.

"Yeah. The best I can tell what my Stand did was that it was able to transmit eddy currents into my sword, making it into a magnet. And that's only one of its abilities." Darui briefly explained.

"I see. Now I have a question… do you think I'm stupid?" Kurotsuchi asked calmly. "That all sounds like horse-" suddenly she was levitated into the air. "What the hell?!" Kurotsuchi shouted. "What's going on?"

"This is my Stand. Golden Asura. If you were a Stand user, then you'd be able to see it." Naruto said with a smirk as he commanded Golden Asura to slowly start spinning Kurotsuchi around in its hands.

"What the? Hey! Stop It!" Kurotsuchi complained.

"Naruto, would you let her be?" Gaara asked with his arms crossed.

"Why? It just seems natural that she'd only believe us if-" suddenly he was punched in the noggin. "Ow!" Naruto shouted as he grabbed the top of his head.

"Put me down you loser!" Kurotsuchi shouted with annoyance. Naruto groaned with annoyance as he commanded Golden Asura to gently put her down before it vanished. "So… ghosts that you can use to fight your battles. That's a new thing."

"They're not ghosts. They're manifestations of a person's mental strength and fighting spirit with unique abilities." Gaara briefly explained.

"So what's your Stand's ability?" Kurotsuchi asked with a dull look and her cheek resting on her hand.

"Better control over sand than myself. Can detect any nearby hazards in the sand."

"Lame~!" Kurotsuchi whined with boredom.

"Shape shifting."

"Okay, interesting."

"Can act as a compass, and make parts of its body into weapons. Also seeing as it's made of sand, when it get injured, the damage doesn't reflect upon myself like other Stands." Gaara finished explaining.

"Stand injuries can become your injuries?" Kurotsuchi questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"At least when it comes to me, and that bastard we last fought." Naruto said.

"That sucks, so anyone can hurt it!" Kurotsuchi shouted.

"Actually, that's the thing. From our fight with Jabs, Naruto and I had discovered only a Stand can touch and harm another Stand, but Stands can still make contact with other beings." Gaara said.

"Wait… are you all telling me, that you can get one of these ghosts that can do strong and even crazy abilities, are invisible to everyone who doesn't have one themselves and the only ones who can stop you is another user?" Kurotsuchi asked to be clear, with wide eyes. Naruto, Gaara and Darui nodded. "Oh my sweet Kami, it's the perfect ability! You can get away with anything!" Kurotsuchi cheered as she started to laugh.

"That's not true. You can still be stopped by other Stand users." Naruto said.

"So what? If you idiots have really powerful ones, then imagine what I can get! I'll become unstoppable! I'll be able to take the hat from the old man easy! I'll be the first Tsuchikage with a Stand. Hell! I'll be the first kage with a Stand!" Kurotsuchi exclaimed with new pride.

"Hell no! I'll be the first kage with a Stand!" Naruto shouted.

"You wish!" Kurotsuchi shouted as she and Naruto got into each other's face, growling with gritting teeth and anime glares.

"Uh, guys… Gaara-sama's the one who's going to be Kazekage after the race… so that would mean he'll be the first kage to possess a Stand." Chojuro said. Naruto and Kurotsuchi now had their heads hanging and a gloomy aura surrounding them.

"Seriously? Dammit." Naruto whined.

"It wasn't enough to be the youngest, now he's got to be the first with a Stand. Bullshit." Kurotsuchi whined.

"Thanks a lot for burst out bubble Chojuro." Naruto said, lifting his head up a bit to reveal he had a pout a gloomy eyes with anime tears drops hanging from the side of his eyes.

Chojuro chuckled nervously as he scratched the back of his head.

"Sorry guys. I just figured you'd want to remember now, instead of later on which could bum you out even-" suddenly the ground beneath the wave exploded, breaking apart. "Worse!"

The five shinobi landed onto the ground, quickly turning around to see the giant hole where the sand wave once was.

"What the hell?" Kurotsuchi spoke.

"Are we being attacked by another shinobi?" Chojuro asked.

"Or maybe…" Gaara started.

"Even worse." Darui said.

"Another Stand user!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Oi! How do I get one of these Stands?" Kurotsuchi quickly asked, turning to Gaara and Chojuro.

"Well-" suddenly the earth itself started breaking apart from the hole, causing a cloud of earth's dust to rise as suddenly a trail of the ground breaking chasing after Chojuro, causing him to scream.

"Chojuro!" Naruto shouted.

"Power Station!" Darui shouted as he lifted his hand towards Chojuro as his Stand appeared. "The Heat Is On!" Darui shouted as his Stand hurried over towards Chojuro at the speed of light, grabbing the blue haired swordsman and tossed him away. 'It seems my Stand can only go faster than the speed of light when I use a lightning technique.' Darui thought, but suddenly a pair of large deep violet mechanical-like arms came out from the trail of the breaking ground and beat a barrage of punches into Power Station, causing Darui to shoot up into the air, bleeding from his mouth.

"Darui!" Chojuro screamed.

"He got hit!" Naruto shouted.

"Sandstorm!" Gaara yelled as he raised his hand, with his Stand appearing. Sandstorm extended its hand as a giant claw formed at the end of it and quickly hurried over and grabbed Darui.

Kurotsuchi looked at the sand claw with shock.

'Where the hell did that…'

Gaara sensed the ground beneath him start to break, so he quickly summoned sand from his gourd to create a cloud underneath him, helping him fly away in time. However something came from below, rushing at Gaara. Gaara quickly jumped away in time, and once the sand cloud was attacked by the figure, Gaara quickly had Sandstorm manipulate the sand to grab the being, with a mist of sand surrounding it.

"What is that?!" Kurotsuchi shouted, looking up to see something.

"I can see it!" Chojuro shouted as he looked to the thing as well. "Is… Is That A Stand?! It's Huge!" Chojuro shouted as what they managed to see was parts of a large figure with an armored body.

'My sand… so long as Sandstorm controls it, it can surround a Stand in a special sand that can allow non-stand users to see them. Best to remember that.' Gaara thought.

Suddenly the Stand broke free and rushed back into the ground.

"So it is a Stand." Darui said with some blood down the side of his lip.

"Chojuro! Kurotsuchi! It's heading right for you both!" Gaara shouted, alerting the two.

Chojuro and Kurotsuchi quickly jumped away in time to avoid a pair of fists punching through the ground they stood upon a moment ago. Once landing, a trail of breaking ground came at them.

"Hurry Kurotsuchi-san!" Chojuro shouted as the two quickly ran off.

"Split up!" Kurotsuchi shouted, before jumping away.

"What?" Chojuro looked to see she already jumped away, so he quickly did the same in the opposite direction. Kurotsuchi quickly jumped up to the top of a tree, but the Stand broke from the ground, charging into the tree, breaking it in half, causing her to fall off as the top part of the tree came down.

'Dammit!' Kurotsuchi mentally cursed with wide eyes. The Stand appeared above Kurotsuchi, but since she wasn't a Stand user she never noticed as the Stand rose its right hand in a karate chop and cocked its left fist back, ready to end her life. Luckily for her, Naruto quickly jumped up high into the air with Golden Asura, and caught her, wrapping his arms around her as he quickly had his body shield her just in case, as Golden Asura stopped in front of the Stand, with its arms in an X-block.

The Stand punched Golden Asura's arms and chopped it in the trapezius muscle, sending the Golden Stand flying with Naruto and Kurotsuchi in his arms into the ground. Naruto managed to turn around in the air in time, to save Kurotsuchi from the impact straight into the ground that he suffered for her. The two started falling into the new abyss below.

'Dammit! I didn't see a thing! Dammit! I need a Stand! I Hate Being Useless Like This!' Kurotsuchi mentally screamed.

Suddenly the arrow shot from Gaara's gourd, shocking everyone as it charged down towards Kurotsuchi and Naruto as they vanished into the darkness below.

"Naruto! Kurotsuchi-san!" Chojuro screamed.

"The arrow…" The Stand that attacked spoke. Suddenly it noticed a shadow looming over it. It turned to see Darui above it with Power Station ready.

"DRADRADRADRADRADRADRADRA!" Power Station punched the Stand with a barrage of punches. "DRAB MAN!" Power Station shouted as it punched the Stand, sending it rocketing into the ground, with red violet mechanical plates and pieces flying off its body.

It crashed right into the ground, causing a large dust cloud, as Darui landed onto the ground with Power Station behind him.

Chojuro ran over to the hole that Naruto and Kurotsuchi went into.

"Naruto-kun! Kurotsuchi-san!" Chojuro screamed as he got onto his knees and leaned over the edge, with his hands gripping the edge of the hole tightly. "Where are they?! What is this? Is this… is this a tunnel system?!"

"It appears so." Gaara said as he and Darui walked over to Chojuro.

"What… what in the world?"

"It planned this." Darui said, earning Chojuro's attention. "The Stand user knew we were coming, so in advance he or she prepared an underground system of tunnels. Makes sense why we don't sense him."

"Then let's hurry down!" Chojuro said getting to his feet.

"That's unwise. From what we can tell so far, this Stand works best underground. We go down there, we'll be stepping into the lion's den." Gaara said.

"But Naruto-kun and Kurotsuchi-san are down there!" Chojuro exclaimed, turning to Gaara.

"Yes. I can sense them. Or at least the arrow." Gaara said.

"Huh?" Chojuro said as he and Darui looked to the red head.

"My sand… I can sense it in the tunnels. Two sources. One is moving, the other is still. The one moving is that of the Stand and its user. The one still is the arrow. It's the best answer I can think of, with the arrow being in my gourd this whole time, and I had the enemy Stand encased in sand." Gaara said as he then lifted his hand. Sand particles came off of Darui, surprising the Kumo-nin and Chojuro, as the particles came to Gaara's hand and slid against his skin, then up his arm as it then returned to the gourd. "Ever particle of sand I can control and now thanks to Sandstorm, I can control them even more efficient. Even sense them."

"So… so you know where they might be!" Chojuro shouted.

"Yes. However, this is very dangerous." Gaara said as he extended his hand to the hole in the ground as out from his gourd, a stream of sand went down into the hole. "Once my sand finds them, it will be their guide. However, so long as they are down there with the Stand user, things will become dangerous and unpredictable. We can only hope for the best."

"But what do we do? We can't just hope for the best." Chojuro said.

"I'll try my best to lead them. Just be patient." Gaara said.

Chojuro's lip quivered as he was still worried.

Darui remained calm. He understood that this encounter will be a pain in so many ways. The best they could do for their friends was get them away from the Stand and find them a way out.

Simple as that.

Down in the dark abyss below, our blonde hero was lying on his back. He moaned in pain as he rubbed his head. Getting up he noticed that the whole place was dark.

"Kurotsuchi?" Naruto spoke up. "You there?"

"Sh."

"Kurotsuchi? Hey, you're still alive!" Naruto exclaimed with a smile.

"Sh! Idiot." Kurotsuchi whispered with annoyance.

"Thank Kami you're still alive. I got worried. Huh… I actually got worried for you." Suddenly a hand was slapped over his mouth.

"Shut it, you moron. Do I have to break your teeth to get you to zip it?" Kurotsuchi questioned, earning a shake of the head from the blonde. Naruto grabbed her hand and pulled it off.

"So we're stuck here?"

"No duh. And no doubt with the enemy." Kurotsuchi said.

"I can't see. You got a light?" Naruto asked.

"No. But maybe that's good, since I can't see your face."

"Oh har har." Naruto said with a dull look and tone. "Man… I wish we could see." Naruto said. Suddenly a light started to appear. They both looked to see it was Golden Asura, shining light a lantern.

"Oh my sweet lord, what is that?" Kurotsuchi said with shock and wide eyes.

"Golden Asura!" Naruto exclaimed with a smile.

"That's Golden Asura? What the hell?! Is that thing on steroids?!" Kurotsuchi exclaimed.

"Wait, you can see him?!" Naruto exclaimed with shock.

"Huh? Yeah, I can." Kurotsuchi said in surprise.

Naruto looked around, only to gasp.

"The arrow!" Naruto exclaimed as he grabbed the arrow by the shaft. "It must have stabbed you!"

"That makes sense. I felt something stab me in the back while we were falling." Kurotsuchi said with half lidded eyes as she rubbed her back. "Wait, why does that matter? Is thing the reason for Stands?"

"Yep." Naruto answered with a smile.

"That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard." Kurotsuchi said with dull eyes. "So where did this thing come from?"

"Gaara keeps it in his gourd. After I got my Stand is came after Gaara on its own. Apparently this thing chooses people with strong wills to give them Stands."

"Makes sense. So how do I use one?" Kurotsuchi asked looking to her hands.

"… Hell if I know." Naruto said with a shrug.

"What the hell do you mean 'hell if you know'?!" Kurotsuchi shouted.

"Honestly the first time Golden Asura appeared was because I got pissed at my enemies at the time. Usually it's instinctual. From what I can tell so far, Golden Asura is controlled by my instincts, emotions and even my thoughts. Usually he reacts a lot when I get pissed off. Whenever I'm really angry at someone, he comes out." Naruto said.

Kurotsuchi blinked her eyes as she looked to Naruto.

"Stand, kick his ass." Kurotsuchi said pointing at Naruto with half-lidded eyes, causing Naruto to flinch in surprise.

"What the hell?! Why are pissed off at me?!"

"Because I got involved in this because of you."

"Well that's a strange way of saying 'thank you' to the guy who saved your life! Stands are no joke, dattebayo!" Naruto shouted.

"Hmph." Kurotsuchi crossed her arms and turned her head. "I knew I shouldn't have followed you guys."

"Well that's your fault! There's no one to blame but you!" Naruto shouted.

"Shut it before I really do kick your ass." Kurotsuchi said with narrowed eyes.

"Nuh uh. No way. You got no reason to be like this!" Naruto exclaimed as he got up to his feet. "You've been a pain in the ass this whole and right now you're pretty low on friends! I'm the only guy you got here."

"Just my luck." Kurotsuchi said with her eyes closed.

"Kuso onna~!" Naruto growled with a shaking fist and glare.

"What Was That?!" Kurotsuchi shouted as she got to her feet. "You wanna start something?!" Kurotsuchi shouted, bring her fist up.

"I'd kick your ass any time! But now's too difficult."

"Says who? Come on! I'll kick the crap out of you so bad your stool will be red for decades!" Kurotsuchi shouted as she grabbed Naruto by the collar.

"Sh, wait." Naruto said turning his head and have a finger up.

"Oh no, you wanna do this, then let's go! No way are you pulling that bullshit on me!" Kurotsuchi shouted, raising her fist up.

"No, I'm serious. I hear something." Naruto said with a serious expression, surprising Kurotsuchi.

"What is it? The Stand?" Kurotsuchi asked.

"Not sure." Naruto said with narrowed eyes.

Golden Asura got ready with its fist up. Naruto kept ready while Kurotsuchi remained still. Both failing to notice she was still holding Naruto by the collar. As they waited in anticipation, the sound got more audible as it came closer, causing Kurotsuchi's eyes to widen as she finally was hearing it.

As it came closer, it finally came into view.

"Is that… flying sand?" Kurotsuchi questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"It's Gaara's!" Naruto cheered with a grin as Golden Asura relaxed. However, suddenly the walls came together, shutting tight in between the teens and sand. The walls went to close in on Golden Asura, but luckily the Stand was strong enough to keep them from squishing him as it held them at bay. "Move!" Naruto shouted, as Kurotsuchi released him allowing them to run. Once they got two meters away, Golden Asura vanished and reappeared next to Naruto as the walls tried closing in to squish them. "Dammit! What the hell?!"

"It has to be that Stand! It can control everything around here! We're sitting ducks!" Kurotsuchi shouted.

"Oh~ dammit!" Naruto cursed as he and Kurotsuchi picked up the pace.

The two quickly sprinted down the tunnel, only to find a dead end.

"Dammit! There's no way out!" Kurotsuchi shouted as the crushing walls were getting closer.

Naruto narrowed his eyes.

"If we can't find a path out… then we'll just make a one!" Naruto shouted as Golden Asura cocked its fist back and punched the left wall so hard it immediately broke to pieces.

"ORAORA!" Golden Asura cried as it then started sending a barrage of punches, creating a new tunnel.

"Come on!" Naruto shouted as he grabbed a shocked Kurotsuchi's arm and ran off into the new tunnel.

'Holy crap. Is this the strength of a Stand?' Kurotsuchi thought as she stared at Golden Asura breaking through the earth like it was nothing with punches faster than the eye could track.

Gaara eyes narrowed as he stared into the hole.

"Anything?" Chojuro asked.

"Yes, but I was blocked off. The Stand user has complete control down there." Gaara said. His eyes widened a bit as he sensed the arrow, or at least the sand particles on it, moving away. "They're on the move." Gaara said, turning to a certain direction. Gaara started running with Chojuro and Darui following, but suddenly the earth broke apart, causing them to halt.

Suddenly fists of earth came out and charged at them. The three widened their eyes before contact, but luckily Gaara's sand reacted quickly.

Consuming them, the sand shot into the sky, avoiding the earth fists, before shapeshifting into a winged dragon version of Sandstorm.

"Whoa~." Chojuro said in shock and amazement as he, Darui and Gaara were on the Sandstorm Dragon.

"Nothing will stop us from helping our friends." Gaara said as he commanded Sandstorm Dragon to fly towards where he sensed the arrow.

"Uh, Darui-san… is this… Gaara-sama's Stand?" Chojuro asked.

"It looks like it, except it's now a dragon instead of looking human-like." Darui said.

"Do you think… his Stand is a bit… over powered?" Chojuro asked.

"… Maybe."

Below in the ground, Golden Asura continued to beat a new tunnel with Naruto, still holding Kurotsuchi by the wrist, continued to follow, dragging Kurotsuchi with him.

"Do you have a plan?" Kurotsuchi asked.

"Not really. Just stay alive." Naruto said.

"That's not a plan, that's a goal!" Kurotsuchi shouted.

"Well if you have a plan then I'd like to hear it!" Naruto shouted, turning his head to Kurotsuchi.

Suddenly a giant long snouted sharp toothed dragon head made of earth popped out in front of Golden Asura, shocking it along with its user and Kurotsuchi, as it then bit down on Golden Asura's arm, causing new wounds as blood went flying. Naruto groaned with pain as his arm, which was the one connected to the hand holding Kurotsuchi, bled with the same wounds reflected from the Stand. Kurotsuchi's eyes widened as she saw blood coming out the end of Naruto's sleeve.

Naruto grabbed Kurotsuchi with both arms as he and his Stand jumped back from the dragon head made of earth. The Dragon head charged as it readied to bite again

"Here it comes!" Kurotsuchi shouted.

"ORA!" Golden Asura quickly grabbed both the jaws of earth dragon head, holding it in place, keeping it from biting.

"Stay strong Golden Asura." Naruto said.

Kurotsuchi's ears perked as she heard a feint yet booming noise behind them.

"Dammit! Those closing walls are still coming!" Kurotsuchi shouted, looking back behind them, which was still dark with shadows.

Naruto turned his head, but suddenly the earth dragon head extended out a spike from its mouth, acting like a tongue that stabbed into the bottom left of Golden Asura's abdomen. Naruto's eyes widened with pain as he felt a new wound, coughing up some blood. Naruto growled with gritted teeth and an angry glare.

"ORA!" Naruto screamed with rage as Golden Asura slammed both jaws shut with such strength that the spiked tongue and even the sharp teeth broke apart.

"ORA!" Golden Asura slammed its fist into the top of the dragon's head, breaking a new hole right into it, before sending complete barrage of lightning fast punches. "ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!" Golden Asura succeeded in leaving the dragon head into rubble.

Naruto sighed as he and Golden Asura relaxed.

"Here they come!" Kurotsuchi shouted. Naruto turned his head back again to see the closing walls slamming their way towards them. Naruto growled a bit as Golden Asura turned around, ready to assist, but suddenly several spikes shot from the wall where the earth dragon head came from and stabbed into various spot on Golden Asura's body.

Naruto's eyes widened as blood came out his body, through the clothing and he cough up blood.

"Naruto!" Kurotsuchi screamed the blonde's name with fear and concern.

Naruto's eyes became shadowed and his teeth gritting with rage. He screamed.

"ORA!"

His Stand turned blood red as a red aura surrounded both the Stand and its master. Golden Asura then started punching everything within the tunnel around Naruto and Kurotsuchi.

"ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!"

The walls and spears were broken apart with ease, but sadly Golden Asura, or Red Asura at this case, was going crazy, damaging the entire tunnel causing it to shake and cause it to cave in.

"Naruto! Naruto, Your Stand Is Going Crazy! It's Causing a Cave In You Fool!" Kurotsuchi screamed, but Naruto wasn't listening. He was so pissed that his emotions took control. All he could hear was ringing as he saw red. The cave was breaking apart, ready to crush the two shinobi. Kurotsuchi screamed as she suddenly hugged Naruto, causing him to flinch in surprise as Golden Asura vanished. "I Don't Want To Die! Not Before Becoming Tsuchikage!" Kurotsuchi screamed with her eyes closed as she hugged Naruto tightly.

Naruto gasped. He blinked his eyes. He stared at her. The fear on her face. The fear of dying… failing to achieve a very important dream.

He had that look sometimes.

Naruto finally noticed that the tunnel was ready to cave in.

'Shit! I did this!' Naruto thought. "Golden Asura!" Naruto shouted, causing his Stand, now Golden once more, to appear.

"ORA!" Golden Asura punched the ground beneath them, causing it to break apart, before continuing with a barrage. "ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!"

Suddenly the ground broke open into a new hole, which Naruto and Kurotsuchi fell into.

Naruto held Kurotsuchi close as they were falling. Naruto noticed that they were in a very different part of the underground. For one, it wasn't a cave, it was a cavern. And two, it was really colorful and kind of bright.

As they were falling, Naruto finally noticed that the cavern was filled with large shining bright colorful crystals. Of red, blue, green, orange, purple; there were many crystals of different colors in the cavern. Naruto was so entranced by the sight. It was one of the most beautiful sights he's ever seen in his life.

'Beautiful.' Naruto thought. However he didn't notice that he and Kurotsuchi were descending towards large crystals underneath them, ready to stab at them. Kurotsuchi screamed as her arm and leg got deep gashes from the tip of one of the crystals, breaking Naruto out of his trance.

"ORA!" Golden Asura quickly kicked off the giant crystal, breaking it apart upon contact as Naruto and Kurotsuchi flew away, ending up skipping across a lake in the cavern, like a rock thrown by a person lakeside. They soon were in the water, with Kurotsuchi's blood swam within the lake.

Naruto swam up, bring his and Kurotsuchi's head above the water's surface. Swimming to the other side, Naruto place Kurotsuchi off the water before getting out of the water himself. Naruto sighed as he sat cross legged.

Kurotsuchi panted on her hands and knees. She flinched feeling her arm and leg bleed profoundly. She growled as she was now pissed.

"Well thanks a lot, Leaf Blower!" Kurotsuchi shouted, turning to Naruto, who had his back to him. "We're lost underground, and now we're in a deeper hole thanks to you! You almost killed us!"

"I know." Naruto simply said.

"You're supposed to be really strong, aren't you? That Kumo-nin praised you, and yet you still look green to me with that Golden muscle headed ghost." Kurotsuchi said. "How long have you even had it?"

"So far… I've had Golden Asura almost two hours after the race started."

"Yesterday?! Are you fucking kidding me?!" Kurotsuchi shouted as she got to her feet, but flinched a bit, regretting it as he leg and arm squirted some blood, alerting Naruto. "You mean to tell me, I've been traveling with shinobi who are still green when it comes to this?! And there are others who have these powers and now I'm stuck in a situation where I'm going to be killed by one?!" Kurotsuchi shouted, but her blood was pouring out a bit more and squirting out becomes of her anger increasing her blow flow. "Just great! Just fucking great!"

"Calm down." Naruto calmly said.

"Don't order me around! You've been a pain in my ass since day one! Your teammates… no wonder they abandoned you! You're a loser! You're reckless, stupid, loud, annoying, and way in over your head." Kurotsuchi shouted pointing at Naruto. "You're… you're… a total hopeless case!" Kurotsuchi shouted, but suddenly Naruto grabbed her hand, surprising her.

Naruto's eyes were shadowed. He stood up, now in front of Kurotsuchi, gently holding her hand. Kurotsuchi stared at him, wondering what he was up to. Naruto slowly brought up his hand.

"Hold still." Naruto softly spoke as he was starting to slowly extend his hand toward her. Kurotsuchi stared at him as his hand slowly came closer to the side of her head. As she felt the tip of his fingers brush against her cheek, causing her eyes to widen.

'Is he… is he thinking of… kissing me?!' Kurotsuchi thought with shock. He heart started to race and her cheeks heating up turning pink. Kurotsuchi was nervous. She gulped as she didn't know what to do. Sure she wanted to beat him. I mean after all, he is a shinobi from Konoha and now he's probably about to steal her first kiss? That pisses her off! But… but she couldn't move. She was frozen with her eyes widen. She wanted to make a fist and punch him, but she couldn't. She was there, frozen and staring at the blonde in front of her. Suddenly her lips started puckering up as her eyes started to slowly close. 'What… what am I doing? I'm proud! Too proud to be taken advantage of by the Seed Sucker!' Kurotsuchi thought, but her cheeks then reddened. 'But… but I wonder… what it feels like? Is it… nice? I… wonder.' Kurotsuchi closed her eyes as her lips were puckered. Naruto's hand slowly came near and… grabbed Kurotsuchi's bleeding arm, right where the gash is. Kurotsuchi flinched with gritting teeth. 'Damn! Crappy Konoha-nin is getting his sick pleasure of harming me! Bastard!' Kurotsuchi thought, but she suddenly felt her wound close up, making her look to her arm to see it glow gold for a moment, before it was healed. "Na… nani?" Kurotsuchi looked to her arm in shock and amazement. Naruto knelt down and grabbed Kurotsuchi's leg, causing her to flinch again, but she looked in awe as a golden aura surrounded her leg, healing it. "What in the…"

"Golden Asura. It's able to heal any injuries." Naruto said before releasing Kurotsuchi's leg; all healed now.

"Sugoi." Kurotsuchi whispered with amazement.

Naruto walked over towards the lake, brought his hands together, taking up water in them and brought them to his mouth, drinking up some of the lake's water. Kurotsuchi stared at him with shining eyes, as she felt a sense of… what is that? Ad… admiration? Appreciation?

"You know her blood was in that water." Kyuubi said within Naruto's head, causing the blonde's eyes to widen, before spitting out the water comically.

"Ugh! I forgot about the blood." Naruto said wiping, breaking Kurotsuchi out of her trance, shaking her head free of it.

"O… oi… Konoha-nin." Kurotsuchi spoke, causing Naruto to turn his head to her. "Th-thanks… for healing me." Kurotsuchi said with her eyes looking away with an embarrassed blush on her cheeks as she pouted.

"No problem." Naruto said.

"But don't think that means I owe you anything! And I'm not worthy of pity!" Kurotsuchi quickly shouted, pointing at Naruto. Naruto normally would have argued, but he remained calm and silent, staring at her. Kurotsuchi retracted her hand a bit as she felt uncomfortable now. She expected him to yell back at her, starting an argument, but he was just staring at her in silence.

She didn't like it. She felt so… weirded out by it. Then again, who could blame her, since all they've been doing since they first met was argue.

"You're just like me." Naruto said.

"Huh?" Kurotsuchi raised an eyebrow.

"I would have done something similar to what you did to someone I don't get along with. We're kind of alike." Naruto said.

"Pfft. Yeah right. Like I'd have anything in common with you." Kurotsuchi said with a pout as she turned her head and had her arms crossed.

"I get how you feel about being the kage of your village." Naruto said turning back to the water. With his back turned, Kurotsuchi had the guts to look back at him. "I don't want to die either before becoming Hokage. It's a real important dream of mine. I'm not liked by my village."

"I wonder why?" Kurotsuchi mumbled with sarcasm.

"I'm the Kyuubi jinchuriki."

"Oh." Kurotsuchi said with wide eyes.

"A lot of people don't like me. They ignore me, glare at me, sometimes insult me and attack me, but it's rare nowadays. Actually the last part probably won't be happening again because I can kick their asses." Naruto said.

"That may be true, but they have no right to hurt one of their own. You know, unless you really deserve it." Kurotsuchi said.

"When I was a kid, hell no. Nowadays, I understand because I don't really think before talking and I like pranking people. Hell, on the day of the academy finals I managed to paint the entire Hokage monument in the middle of the day with my old orange jumpsuit and I was not noticed until the day was done." Naruto said, turning his head to her.

"No~." Kurotsuchi said with shock.

"No lie." Naruto said with a grin.

"How long did it take?"

"Three hours."

"And they never noticed you until it was too late?! Jeez, your village security is too lax."

"I know, right? If a baka like me could paint those huge stone faces without being seen and escape higher ranking shinobi, including ANBU, then what the hell? My village must suck at times." Naruto said with a grin making Kurotsuchi laugh.

"Or maybe you're just that good." Kurotsuchi said with a grin. Naruto looked to her in surprise, as she realized what she said, making her blush as she looked away.

"Did you just compliment me?" Naruto asked with a smile.

"Shut up!" Kurotsuchi shouted with an annoyed expression.

"… So why do you wanna become Tsuchikage?" Naruto asked.

"Mind your own damn business!" Kurotsuchi said as she quickly turned around; her back now facing him. Naruto blinked at her behavior. He should start slow.

"Well… I want to become Hokage because I want to be accepted by everyone." Naruto said.

"That's stupid!" Kurotsuchi shouted, turning to Naruto. "You don't become Hokage then be respected. You have to earn everyone's respect first to become a kage." Kurotsuchi said, shocking Naruto. "You think just because you become strong that you'll become kage? Well you're wrong! It takes more than that to become a kage. You need smarts, know how, lots of training, patience."

"You don't even have that one."

"Shut up!" Kurotsuchi shouted with annoyance. "My point is that you'll get nowhere if that's how you see as the way to become Hokage. It's not just the higher ups that decide to make you a kage, but also the love, respect and trust of the villagers. You want to be kage, then switch the goal around!" Kurotsuchi exclaimed.

Naruto stared at her with shimmering eyes.

"So what you're saying is… it's not being kage that makes people respect you… but it's the people that make you a kage." Naruto said.

"Yeah. That's exactly what I'm saying. My ji-san taught me that." Kurotsuchi said with her arms crossed as her eyes looked down.

"… So why do you want to be Tsuchikage?" Naruto asked. Kurotsuchi narrowed her eyes as she looked to the ground. Naruto looked to her eyes and noticed some hidden emotions. "It's because you want to prove yourself, right?"

"I don't need to prove myself to anyone!" Kurotsuchi shouted, jabbing her thumb to her chest.

"But to yourself." Naruto said, shocking Kurotsuchi. "I know that feeling. In truth, I don't have a high opinion of myself. Whenever I boast about myself… I think I do it sometimes to convince myself more than anyone else." Naruto softly said.

Kurotsuchi stared at him with wide eyes. Her eyes softened as she turned her head.

"So… so… you're so lame." Kurotsuchi said as she shed a tear, but it was quickly wiped away.

"I saw it." Naruto spoke.

"Shut it. So you're good with character. Screw you." Kurotsuchi said with a pout.

"No, I mean… your Stand. I saw its hand." Naruto said, shocking Kurotsuchi.

"You… you did?" Kurotsuchi asked, earning a nod from Naruto. "What did it look like?"

"It looked like it had rings wrapped around the joints of each finger, studs on the knuckles, some weird design on the back of its hands and it was white grey." Naruto said.

"My Stand…" Kurotsuchi looked to her right hand.

"You thought of a name for it?" Naruto asked, causing Kurotsuchi to look to him.

Suddenly a hole from the top of the cavern broke open, causing the Naruto and Kurotsuchi to look to see a giant violet red crystal shot right at them. Naruto quickly reacted by summoning his Stand.

"ORA!" Golden Asura punched the crystal, breaking it to pieces.

'No way! That crystal was coming at us at over three hundred miles per hour and his Stand was easily able to destroy it to pieces with one punch? What the Hell?!' Kurotsuchi thought with shock.

Naruto quickly ran at her and picked her up bridal style right before more giant crystals shot at them from above. Naruto ran as fast as he could, trying to dodge them, but he had to rely on Golden Asura breaking them apart as he ran. Naruto noticed an enormous turquoise colored crystal. Quickly sprinting over, he quickly managed to run around it, using it as a shield from the other crystals, smaller scale compared to it.

Naruto panted as he slowly leaned his head out a bit to see if anything else was coming. There were multiple holes above thanks to the crystals. Naruto kept a keen eye. He glanced over to the other side, in case anything came from that ceiling.

Not wanting to take the chance, Naruto had Golden Asura grabbed a piece of the enormous crystal and with some effort, broke it off and spun it in its hands in a windmill motion at a speedy pace.

'It's so strong.' Kurotsuchi thought with wide eyes as she stared at Golden Asura, who stopped spinning the crystal with a calm 'Ora'.

Naruto leaned his head out a bit again, only for his eyes to widen in shock as he saw something come out of one of the holes.

It was large and wide. Wider than Golden Asura.

It was red violet machine-like Stand. At least it looked more machine. It was a mechanical humanoid type of Stand. It's face was oval shaped with thin black lips, with two lines connected to the sides of the very thin mouth and going down to the lower jaw, side oval shaped golden eyes with vertical line designs over the eyes, and two black triangles at the outer sides of the eyes and were curved up. On the right side of its forehead it had purple outlined diamonds, with one large one having two smaller diamonds connected to it with them wrapped around the outlines; one of the smaller diamonds was wrapped around the bottom right of the larger diamond and the other one was wrapped around the top left of it. It had semi-cylinder bulk shoulder pads, skinny biceps, but its entire forearms were bulky round cylinder shaped, like turbine engines, with bulk three fingered hands. It had a barrel chested armor pieces, armored crotch armor and slim muscular humanoid legs with boots that extended halfway up the calve, with long crystal-like spikes protruding from the back of the boots and the chest armor, with two mid-length ones on each boot and four long larger ones coming out of the back of the chest plate armor. Its abdomen was exposed, but thin bars connected to both the chest and crotch plate armors surrounded it, looking like the stomach was surrounded by a bird cage, and finally it had tassels connected to the crotch plate, hanging off the waist.

It looked around the area, turning its head to scan the entire area.

"Don't see them." The Stand spoke, with a gentle male voice. The Stand noticed crystal shards scattered around the area, making it smirk. "I know you are here~. From the look of all these broken pieces, your Stand protected you very well. A very powerful one, seeing as these crystals were shot at roughing about three hundred miles per hours."

'Knew it.' Kurotsuchi thought.

"Allow me to warn you that under here, below ground level, I am your worst nightmare." The Stand spoke with a smug, yet menacing smile. "Seeing as I am confident in your death and even if you survive there are many more Stand users you must face, I will introduce myself. My real name is Nico Reed, and the Stand I possess is known as Velvet Underground. And I can see through this Stand. Can you do the same with yours?" The Stand now known as Velvet Underground boasted at the end with smug superiority.

'He can see through his Stand? Can I do that? Not the best time to test it out though.' Naruto thought. 'Although… the way he said it. His tone. It sounds like it's a rare trait. So most likely I can't see what Golden Asura sees.' Naruto deduced. 'I wonder how that works. I have to see for my Stand to know where to be, and what to punch, but it seems to have a mind of its own. Is he some sort of split personality?'

(This is something I've always wondered when I was younger. Probably last year I wondered this. Oh and the namesake of Nico Reed is a combination of Nico and Lou Reed, who were both vocalists and songwriters, with Reed also being guitarist, of the band The Velvet Underground, which is of course the namesake for Nico Reed's Stand.)

"Psst. What do we do?" Kurotsuchi whispered.

"Not sure." Naruto said as he thought things over. "Our objective is to get to the surface, but first we need to get out of here." Naruto thought things over. He looked to Golden Asura and nodded.

Golden Asura broke a piece off of its crystal weapon. Naruto placed Kurotsuchi down next to him, before slowly creeping to the side of the crystal. Leaning his head over, he narrowed his eyes at the Stand. Golden Asura quickly moved out in the open and threw crystal piece at Velvet Underground at high speed.

Velvet Underground's eyes widened seeing the sharp piece coming at it. It quickly moved to the side, summoning a crystal shield to its arm, managing to block it, but the shield broke upon impact as the piece managed to scratch up the unarmored part of its armor, causing blood to fly out.

"Totemo Tsuyoi." (So Strong) Velvet Underground said with shock. Suddenly it heard shots fired to the side making it look to see two small shards of crystals shot at it like bullets. It managed to dodge one, but the second one managed to nick the side of it head, causing a squirt of blood. Velvet Underground's eyes widened as it saw Naruto with Golden Asura pouncing straight at him, ready to deliver a beat down. "But still so naïve!" Velvet Underground grinned as it opened both its hands as a glow came from them and out shot large crystals at the two at point blank range. Golden Asura managed to break one apart with a punch, but Naruto had the other stabbed right through his stomach. Luckily Naruto dispersed into a cloud of smoke as Golden Asura vanished. "Oh… I guess you're not so dumb after all." Velvet Underground said with a pout.

Suddenly a kunai with a bomb tag attached to it charged straight at Velvet Underground, but the Stand was unfazed by the attack. It allowed the kunai bomb to come at it, as it exploded right when it was at point blank range.

"Tsk, tsk. Don't you know Stand's cannot be harmed?" Velvet Underground questioned with fake concern as it swatted away the smoke caused by the explosion.

"Yeah I Do!" Velvet Underground looked with wide eyes to see Naruto out in the open as Golden Asura lifted a huge pink crystal over itself and with all its might, threw it at Velvet Underground. Velvet Underground quickly moved to the side, while creating a shield just in case to avoid serious damage, but as the crystal got close, it exploded into a cloud of smoke and out came a grinning Naruto clone, shocking Velvet Underground as Golden Asura appeared in next to the clone with its fist cocked back.

"ORA!" Golden Asura sent a hard punch that broke the shield apart and slammed right into the bird caged abdomen of the Stand, punching right through the bars and landing a hard punch right into the ribs of the Stand, causing its eyes to widen in pain. "ORAORAORAORAORA!" Golden Asura roared as it delivered a barrage of punches into Velvet Underground.

'Totemo Tsuyoi!' (So Strong!) Velvet Underground thought. Suddenly its body surrounded itself with small little crystals, looking like the spikes of a pufferfish, before it shot them all out, stabbing into Golden Asura who managed to block it in time before it did some serious damage, but it had to disappear as the clone died. Velvet Underground went flying and hit a wall. It panted as it felt its body in pain. 'Totemo Tsuyoi. Totemo Tsuyoi!' (So Strong. So Strong!)

Naruto growled a bit as he held his bleeding arm, with his jacket sleeve rolled up.

"Are you alright?" Kurotsuchi asked with worry.

"Yeah. Golden Asura's fast and tough, so not much to worry about." Naruto said as he focused some of the fox's chakra to heal the wounds on his arm, surprising Kurotsuchi. "So far I can tell that its combat is based around crystal manipulation. It can make them, shaped them, surround itself it them, and shoot them. Add that with what it could do in the tunnels and we're dealing with one tough Stand." Naruto said.

"What happened in the tunnels could have been caused by superior earth jutsu. We don't know if it was caused by the Stand." Kurotsuchi said.

"Good point. So far these enemies I've faced with the others weren't genin, but Chunin to Jonin rank posing as some." Naruto said, shocking Kurotsuchi.

"You faced off against Jonin level shinobi?" Kurotsuchi questioned with shock and disbelief.

"Yeah. Wasn't easy, but I'm lucky I had Golden Asura, along with my friends." Naruto said.

"Your Stand's really that strong, huh?"

"Pretty much."

"And your friends… they're strong too."

"Uh huh."

"And you trust them… even though they're from different villages." Naruto nodded. "And what if they were weak?" Kurotsuchi asked.

"I'd still trust them. They never left my side, even when things were bleak." Naruto said.

"And you do the same for them." Kurotsuchi softly said. Naruto placed his hand on her shoulder.

"For all you guys." Naruto said with a smile, shocking Kurotsuchi.

Despite all the crap she said to him and antagonizing him every time they crossed paths, he's really willing to protect her with his life? Does he consider her… a friend? For some reason… his smile made her feel safe along with the look in his eyes. He just seemed so… warm, inside and out. She admired that.

Without even knowing it… she was blushing.

Suddenly the two heard a rumbling sound, and felt the earth shake. The enormous crystal behind them started to raise into the air, shocking the two. As it rose up high, Velvet Underground floated above it.

"Of course you two would have hid behind the biggest object. Haji, haji, haji." (Shame, shame, shame) Velvet Underground said shaking its head. It shot its hand down to its targets, causing the enormous crystal to come charging at them.

Naruto and Kurotsuchi stared in horror as the enormous crystal came at them. Kurotsuchi hugged Naruto, closing her eyes, afraid of impact, but luckily Naruto was still focused.

"Golden Asura!" Naruto summoned his Stand in front of him.

Golden Asura quickly reared its fist back and sent it flying into the tip of the enormous crystal, actually breaking it.

"ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!" Golden Asura chanted as it was breaking apart the charging crystal with its fists.

'Unbelievable. The Stand is this powerful and fast? How dangerous.' Velvet Underground thought. 'However… I still have a few tricks.' Velvet Underground extended its hand down as suddenly spikes of crystals came from the ground below, stabbing into Naruto's feet and ankles.

Naruto gritted his teeth as Kurotsuchi gasped, noticing what had happened.

"ORA!" Naruto screamed as Golden Asura continued its assault on the enormous crystal.

'Amazing. Despite the pain, he's still able to continue focusing on the task at hand. His mental strength is phenomenal. However I still must end you. Nothing sadder in this world than wasted talent.' Velvet Underground quickly summoned more spiked from the ground, but these ones were long and extended to stab into Naruto's back.

Kurotsuchi's eye widened as she saw everything in slow motion. Seeing the long spikes come at Naruto, ready to literally backstab him while he focused all his energy on destroying the even greater crystal in front of them with Golden Asura. Kurotsuchi suddenly developed a fiery glare as new determination lit within her soul.

'Hell No!' Kurotsuchi thought as she released Naruto and got behind him, intent on taking the hit for him. 'This is the least I can do for you. Thanks for not leaving me behind. You're not a bad guy.' Kurotsuchi thought as she closed her eyes, waiting to die via turning into pin cushion.

However… it did not came. When she opened her eyes, she gasped. In front of her were a pair of hands fitting Naruto's description.

'The hands… those are my Stand's hands!' Kurotsuchi mentally cheered.

Like Naruto said, its body color was white grey, had rings wrapped around its finger joints, studs on the knuckles and the weird design he was talking about on the back of the hands were emblems of atoms. The arms also had double helix designs on the back of them, looking like DNA strands.

Kurotsuchi stared at them in amazement, but when she looked to what they were doing, she gasped. The crystals in front of the Stand's hands were disintegrating. No… no they weren't disintegrating. The particles were still lingering. With a thought she had some of the particles take a new shape. They now became a multicolored crystal kunai. Kurotsuchi blinked her eyes as she took it in hand. She looked to the other particles and concentrated. She couldn't disintegrate them, but she was able to scatter them away, far apart from one another.

Kurotsuchi looked to the kunai, blinking. She nodded with interest.

"Cool." Kurotsuchi simply said calmly.

"ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!" Golden Asura continued its barrage until the last bit of the enormous crystal broke apart, but Velvet Underground was above Naruto's head ready to crush it with its large fist.

"HAJI!" Velvet Underground shouted, ready to slam its fist down, but Kurotsuchi quickly used her Stand to throw the shuriken at Velvet Underground. Velvet Underground quickly moved its head to the side out of instinct, but the kunai managed to stab the Stand right in temple, making the Stand scream in pain. Naruto finally managed to notice Velvet Underground above him. "B-B-BAKANA! Only Stands Can Hurt Other Stands!" Velvet Underground screamed.

"You mean like this?" Naruto rhetorically asked as Golden Asura quickly rose up and slammed its fist into Velvet Underground's face, causing blood to fly.

"ORAORA!" Golden Asura sent a small barrage that sent Velvet Underground flying up with some of its chest armor cracking from the punches. Velvet Underground was sent into the ceiling, indenting into it.

"Ts… Tsuyoi. Totemo Tsuyoi!" Velvet Underground said with pain. Hearing poofing sounds, Velvet Underground noticed a tower of clones made by Naruto, rising until one of the Narutos were right below it.

The Naruto in front of the Stand pointed his finger in front the Stand's face.

"Don't blink." Naruto said.

Suddenly Golden Asura appeared at the bottom, next to the Naruto at the bottom, but then started rising up the tower at a fast speed.

'NANI O?! (WHAT THE?!) HE'S USING THE CLONES AS A LADDER TO CLIMB UP HERE! INCREASING ITS RANGE!' Velvet Underground thought with wide shocked eyes.

'Holy crap.' Kurotsuchi thought with wide eyes looking up at Golden Asura, then looking to Naruto, who was at the bottom. 'He's a Genius!'

"ORA~!" Golden Asura roared with a fist cocked back. Velvet Underground quickly cocked its right fist back and thrust it forward as Golden Asura made it to the top. Golden Asura thrust its fist forward, meeting Velvet Underground's fist, breaking it apart, causing mechanical pieces flying off revealing a normal fist with studs on the knuckles, with the hand itself bleeding as it cracked from impact. Velvet Underground scream as its fist slammed into the ceiling atop. "ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!"

Golden Asura punched Velvet Underground with such a powerful barrage that the pieces of armor it wore broke apart, revealing a slim figure.

'I'M GONNA GET KILLED IF I STAY ANY LONGER!' Velvet Underground thought. "Return! Velvet Underground!" Velvet Underground/Nico Reed screamed as it disappeared.

Once Velvet Underground disappeared, Golden Asura ended its assault and vanished.

"That's it. For now anyway." Naruto said.

"Naruto! That was awesome!" Kurotsuchi cheered with amazement.

"Thanks." Naruto said with a smiling, turning to Kurotsuchi, but something fell to the ground, making them look to see it was the multicolored crystal kunai that Kurotsuchi created. "What's that?" Naruto asked.

"A crystal kunai. What's it look to you?" Kurotsuchi said taking the multicolor crystal kunai in hand.

"How did… where did you get that?" Naruto asked.

"Made it myself." Kurotsuchi said with a grin and a wink as her Stand's left hand appeared over her left eye, doing a sideways victory sign over the left winking eye.

"No way. Your Stand can do that?!" Naruto exclaimed with amazement.

"Yep. Saved you from getting stabbed in the back by crystals. Apparently my Stand has the same abilities as my ji-san." Kurotsuchi said with a cocky smile and arms crossed.

"And what ability is that?" Naruto asked.

"Guess I should have known a genin from Konoha wouldn't know. His ability-" suddenly the ground started to shake. "Uh oh."

"Climb!" Naruto shouted to Kurotsuchi.

Kurotsuchi went to the tower of clones, but suddenly she was grabbed by the back of her shirt. She looked to see it was Golden Asura. Golden Asura revved its arm back and threw Kurotsuchi towards the top of the tower, with her screaming with tears coming out the side of her eyes all the way up. Kurotsuchi managed to grab onto one of the clones near the top of the tower. Kurotsuchi hurried to the top and jumped onto the ceiling, now standing on it.

"Naruto, hurry!" Kurotsuchi screamed.

The ground started to crack. Once Naruto looked down, crystals shot from the ground, acting as a new spit pit trap. However, Golden Asura managed to save Naruto by quickly grabbing him by the back of his shirt and started climbing up the top of the tower. As the clones started falling, Golden Asura quickly threw Naruto up towards Kurotsuchi before vanishing.

Naruto extended his hand up. Thankfully Kurotsuchi grabbed his hand and quickly swung him up so his feet could attach to the ceiling.

"The crystals! They're rising up!" Kurotsuchi shouted, noticing the crystal were reaching up to the ceiling.

"Golden Asura!" Naruto screamed as his Stand reappeared and started punching the ceiling.

"ORA! ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!" Golden Asura chanted as he was digging a new tunnel with his punches.

"Let's Go!" Naruto shouted as he started crawling through the hole, climbing up it with Kurotsuchi following behind. The two hurried up as the whole cavern was now filled with countless sharp crystals.

The sun was setting as our other heroes were still flying above the ground level, staying at a certain point.

"Anything?" Darui asked.

"I sense blood on the sands." Gaara said, surprising the two, worrying them.

"Wh-who's?" Chojuro asked with worry and concern.

"I believe it was from the Stand. The mass and shape were different from the arrow." Gaara said, causing Chojuro to sigh with relief.

"What about the arrow?" Darui asked.

"It's climbing up. However our friends were sent lower into a cavern of some sorts. They'll be back in the tunnels." Gaara said.

"Good." Chojuro said.

"They're still in danger." Darui said.

"Yes. This Stand has complete control so long as they're underground. How they survived this long is amazing." Gaara said.

"It's all thanks to Naruto, right?" Chojuro asked.

"I'm not sure. For all we know, Kurotsuchi could be doing most of the work. I can only sense them by the sand particles and track their movements. I can't sense what is happening below, but I can know where they are and who dies." Gaara said.

Chojuro's breathing hitched with fear at that last part.

"Kami, please be with them." Darui said looking down to the ground.

Golden Asura managed to break through the earth, making it into a tunnel, before vanishing.

Naruto quickly climbed out, panting, and once out he reached his hand into the tunnel and took Kurotsuchi by the hand, lifting her out of the hole.

Their backs hit the ground. They panted as they rested side by side.

"That was intense." Kurotsuchi said.

"Yep." Naruto said with his hand over his chest as his breathing eased. Kurotsuchi suddenly smack her fist against his stomach, making him go 'oof', and hold his stomach.

"Thanks for letting me go first." Kurotsuchi said sarcastically.

"Sorry, but I couldn't take the chance. I have to keep close to my Stand. Its range is only two meters." Naruto said, rubbing his stomach.

"Wait, these things have a range? Seriously?" Kurotsuchi questioned with new annoyance.

"Sadly. Even Stands can't come without limits. In my fight with Jabs, he said that since my Stand is so powerful, its range is short. Apparently the stronger it is, the shorter its range has to be." Naruto explained.

"Dammit. Then that means my Stand won't be any better." Kurotsuchi said with a frown as she stared at her Stand's hands.

"So what can your Stand do?" Naruto asked, turning his head to her.

"Like I said, it's like my ji-san's. My gramps has the ability of Jinton (Dust Release)." Kurotsuchi said. She noticed the deadpan look Naruto was giving her with his eyes closed.

"That's lame. And it makes no sense on how you made that kunai."

"Shut it and let me explain! Despite its dumb name, Jinton is actually about affecting things on a molecular level. What my gramps does is disintegrate people at a molecular level. He has total control molecules with this style." Kurotsuchi explained.

"Whoa~. So you can change things and even disintegrate them?" Naruto asked with amazement.

"Actually I can't do that last one. The best I can do is separate them and scatter them apart." Kurotsuchi corrected.

"Well at least that still makes it a dangerous ability, but hey, who knows. Maybe in the future you could do that to." Naruto said.

"Huh." Kurotsuchi stared up at the ceiling. Naruto did the same. "Can you train a Stand?" Kurotsuchi asked, turning her head back to Naruto.

"Don't know." Naruto said with a shrug, still staring at the ceiling. "I only had my Stand for like a day and a half so far. I mean maybe you can, or maybe it happens naturally. Stands are still new territory."

"Hm." Kurotsuchi stared back up at the ceiling. "It's still crazy though." Kurotsuchi said, causing Naruto to turn his head to her. "These things we have. They're things only people like us can see. Not even the kage have these."

"Unless they do and they kept it a secret." Naruto said turning his head back to the ceiling.

"True, but… what we can do. I mean your Stand, whoa… safe to say it packs a wallop. I mean what you did to that enormous crystal." Kurotsuchi put her fingers to the sides of her head and spread them apart going 'poosh', which meant she was saying 'mind blowing'. "Safe to say I'm glad we're on the same side."

"Yeah, but Golden Asura is all about getting up close and personal." Naruto said.

"Yeah, but… your clones. They used him, right? Can you make clones of your Stand?" Kurotsuchi asked, turning her head to him.

"Nah. Tried that in the last Stand fight I was in. Didn't work. Apparently Golden Asura can only teleport from clone to clone because they're all basically me."

"Kind of like a connected network. Like sending water from one area through a pipe to reach the other end." Kurotsuchi deduced, turning her head to him.

"Exactly!" Naruto said with a grin as he turned his head to her.

"Well with how many clones you can make that's a pretty kick ass ability!" Kurotsuchi said with a grin.

"Thanks! Your Stand's power kicks ass too! I would never want to get in a fight with it."

"You got that right." Kurotsuchi said with a wider grin as she flicked Naruto's nose, causing his grin to widen. The two then laughed as their heads turned to the ceiling.

Once they were done laughing, the two just continued to stare up at the ceiling.

"I never thought… I'd actually get along with a Konoha-nin." Kurotsuchi said with a soft smile.

"Life's kind of unpredictable that way."

"And bizarre." Kurotsuchi added.

"That too." Naruto agreed with a nod.

They two rested for a few moments.

"Well… time to head out." Naruto said getting up to his feet. He extended his hand to Kurotsuchi. Before this whole event, Kurotsuchi would have slapped the hand away and got up on her own, but after fighting with him side by side, she couldn't help, but smile as she took his hand. He helped her up to her feet and put his hands in his pockets. "Now to find out which way to go." Naruto said looking between the two paths they could go.

"Can't you just punch us all the way up back to the surface?" Kurotsuchi questioned.

"Not a bad idea, but I'm kind of worried that, that weird Stand would try something. Probably instantly kill us with some sort of crystal technique." Naruto said.

"Hm. Guess that makes sense. Like you said, Stands are new territory. Despite their limits, you could never know what they're fully capable of. Just like a human being." Kurotsuchi said.

"Yep. Guess we'll just go this way." Naruto said, turning around.

"Hey wait. What's that on your back?" Kurotsuchi asked pointing to Naruto's back.

"Hm?" Naruto turned his head to her.

"Underneath your jacket."

"Oh." Naruto took off his jacket to reveal that the arrow was on his back, with the bottom end of the shaft in his pants. "That's just the arrow." Naruto grabbed it and took it out of his pants hold. "I got worried when I saw that Stand so I hid it behind my back. I don't want to take the chance when it comes to these guys. With one of these, they could create a whole army of Stand users."

"I see." Kurotsuchi said, but then her eyes widened. "Wait! Those arrows are the reason for Stands, right? Well why would they use it on you?"

"They didn't know about Stands before I was attacked with it." Naruto said.

"Then explain this situation! If they didn't know about Stands until you gained one, then how could they gain and know Stands of their own?!" Kurotsuchi shouted. Naruto looked to her in surprise.

She was right. How is this all possible then?

And that's when the answer hit Naruto harder than Tsunade throwing a boulder as big as Gamabunta on him.

"Again, you would not survive that." Kyuubi said within Naruto with a dull look.

"They have their own arrow." Naruto said breathlessly with new fear, as Kurotsuchi gulped. Naruto gained a determined look as he put the arrow back onto his back and then put his jacket back on. "We got to get out of here and tell the others." Naruto said with new determination. "Let's go!" Naruto quickly headed out, but suddenly the walls slammed in front of him and the now regular hand of Velvet Underground shot out, grabbing Naruto by the throat as a crystal stabbed right through his throat.

"Naruto!" Kurotsuchi screamed as she jumped forward, ripping Naruto away from the hand. Her Stand's hand quickly came out and grabbed the crystal stabbed into Naruto's throat and quickly broke the molecules apart and took them out of the hole in his throat.

Golden Asura quickly grabbed Naruto's throat and healed it completely quicker than one could blink. Naruto gulped up a huge amount of air as hi throat was fully healed.

"I guess the fox is okay with healing me as long as I don't take him with me to the grave." Naruto said as he and Kurotsuchi quickly ran the other way.

"None of you can escape my Stand, so long as we are underground. You're all in the bowels of hell!" Velvet Underground yelled as his head came out of the wall.

Suddenly the tunnel was producing crystal spikes out the walls, chasing out heroes.

"Dammit! We can't outrun it! It's going to catch up sooner or later!" Kurotsuchi exclaimed.

Naruto turned his gaze to the charging crystal spikes and got an idea.

"Give me some of your bomb tags." Naruto said. Kurotsuchi didn't question his idea. She gave him much of her bomb tags. Naruto quickly made his signature hand sign as a clone popped up next to him. Golden Asura quickly took the bomb tags and placed them all over the clone's body and then the Stand grabbed the clone and tossed it into the crystal spikes as the clone then detonate, destroying the crystals and causing the tunnel to shake and cave in a bit. "Now!" Naruto shouted.

"ORA!" Golden Asura quickly punched a hole into the wall beside them. Naruto grabbed Kurotsuchi by the wrist and dragged her into the new tunnel Golden Asura was creating.

"You cannot run forever! I am king here!" Velvet Underground shouted.

The pair made it to a new tunnel.

"Naruto, he's right. We can't keep doing this. We have to come up with a plan." Kurotsuchi said. Suddenly the arrow moved off of Naruto's back, leaving through the back of Naruto's collar and floating away.

"Like follow the floating arrow?" Naruto suggested.

"Yeah. That works fine." Kurotsuchi said in agreement, before she and Naruto hurried off, following the arrow. The two hurried after the arrow, but they felt the tunnel shake. Something behind them was coming after them. "Dammit! This Is Pissing Me Off!"

The object behind them was earth itself, closing up the tunnel and it was right behind them. Velvet Underground suddenly came out the blockage with spiky crystals coming around it.

"Prepare To Die!" Velvet Underground shouted with a surprisingly wide grin. Suddenly a stream of sand sped pass Naruto and Kurotsuchi's head and stabbed right into the side of Velvet Underground's head. Velvet Underground screamed as blood came out its head. "KIKEN'NA, KIKEN'NA, KIKEN'NA! TAIKYAKU!" (DANGEROUS, DANGEROUS, DANGEROUS! RETREAT!) Velvet Underground screamed as it retreated back into the earth.

"What a pussy! When things don't go his way he retreats." Kurotsuchi said with a frown. The stream of sand floated to them, stopping in front of them as the sand changed form into that of Sandstorm's face.

"Gaara!" Naruto exclaimed his friend's with joy and relief.

"Follow me. I'll lead you out." Sandstorm spoke with Gaara's voice as the arrow floated to Naruto's hand, allowing the blonde to take it before he and Kurotsuchi followed the piece of Sandstorm.

"I Will Get You!" Velvet Underground's voice screamed within the tunnel.

"They're coming." Gaara announced. "Darui, can you make a hole?"

"Let me try." Darui said as he went through various hand seals. "Ranton: Laser Circus!" Darui used his storm jutsu to send beams at the ground, with Power Station riding within one of the beams, charging to the ground. Once making to it to the ground, Power Station sent its barrage.

"DRADRADRADRADRADRADRADRADRADRADRA! DRAB MAN!" Power Station successful punched a hole right into the ground, revealing a dark abyss. Once vanishing, the three watched with anticipation as they hoped their friends would make it out.

Naruto jumped out of the hole, carrying Kurotsuchi in his arms bridal style.

"They Made It!" Chojuro cheered.

Naruto landed onto the ground. He felt the ground shake, making his eyes narrow. Naruto quickly used Golden Asura to jump off he ground for him, sending him rocketing into the sky. Crystal spikes shot out of the ground.

"Holy Damn!" Chojuro shouted with shock as he, Gaara and Darui's eyes widen with shock.

Suddenly Velvet Underground came out of the ground, rocketing at the pair, with new armor on. His large right fist was surrounded in diamond and cocked back.

"You Can Never Break This! It's Harder Than Diamond Thanks to My Stand! Prepare To Do!" Velvet Underground yelled as it rocketed to Naruto and Kurotsuchi.

Naruto narrowed his eyes at Velvet Underground as he summoned Golden Asura to his side with its fist cocked back.

"ORA!"

"HAJI!"

The two slammed their fists together and upon contact, the diamond covered fist broke apart, shocking Velvet Underground as its armored fist broke apart and it's real hard bled from impact.

'NANI?! JUST ONE PUNCH IS STRONGER THAN DIAMOND!?' Velvet Underground thought with shock.

"ORAORA!" Golden Asura delivered a rush of punches, but Velvet Underground quickly vanished after a few hits.

"Kurotsuchi-chan was right. You are a pussy." Naruto said with a calm, stoic expression. Kurotsuchi looked to him with shocked wide eyes and a blush.

'Kurotsuchi… chan?' Kurotsuchi thought with surprise at the new suffix at the end of her name.

Gaara extended his hand as sand from his gourd came out and expanded into a large hand that caught Naruto and Kurotsuchi landing on it.

"I'm so happy you guys are alive." Chojuro said with a smile.

"Now we just need to deal with the Stand user." Darui said.

Suddenly however, the crystals below shot at the sand hand. Naruto managed to notice in time. Golden Asura quickly appeared to protect its user and his friend.

"ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!" Golden Asura quickly broke apart the crystals, but a Velvet Underground appeared above Golden Asura and punched the Stand in the top of the head, sending it flying down. The top of Naruto's head bled.

"Naruto!" Kurotsuchi shouted his name with concern. Naruto's eyes widened as he saw more shards of crystals come at him. Not as large as the others, but still enough to turn him into a pin cushion.

'Don't have time to counter with Golden Asura. Kurotsuchi-chan, she'll…' Naruto quickly threw Kurotsuchi up towards the others. Kurotsuchi gasped at the sudden action. She looked to Naruto only for her eyes to widen in shock and fear as Naruto's body was stabbed by a whole bunch of crystal shards, turning him into a voodoo doll as blood flew out of his mouth. Naruto fell off the sand hand, heading down towards the crystal spike pit.

"Naruto!" Kurotsuchi screamed as she flipped in the air, bouncing off the side of the Sandstorm Dragon, rocketing towards Naruto. Kurotsuchi managed to catch Naruto. Gritting her teeth as she felt the shards stab into her, but she didn't care. She held him tight out of fear of losing him.

Below, a gentle voice giggled.

Coming up out of the ground from the hole was a tall, slim young man with long blonde hair that stopped at his mid-back and a long strand of hair coming out of the widow's peak and hovering over the forehead.

He wore forest green baggy pants, five golden rings wrapped around the ankles, with a pair of gold shoes that was curved at the end where the toes were. A long sleeve skin tight black shirt with a long collar covering the neck, a long cloth wrapped diagonally around the torso, wrapped around the left trapezius and the other end wrapped around the base of the waist. A grass green vest with white lining around it, and forest green male gender symbol designs all over on the vest. There was a golden symbol on the neck was the emblem of a rise and wrapped around the left bicep was a ring acting as an armlet. On the long cloth wrapped around the torso was a metal plate with the Iwa symbol on it.

He stood up straight with his right hand on his hip and his chin resting on the knuckles of the left hand.

(Pose complete)

"Looks like I win. Hn." The blonde said with a calm expression.

'So that's the Stand user.' Gaara thought.

Kurotsuchi managed to notice the symbol for Iwa on his person, which pissed her off. She and Naruto hit the ground where the spikes resided.

"Two down, only three to go." The tall blonde said.

"You Bastard!" Chojuro screamed with rage as he tried to jump off the dragon, grabbing the hilts of his sword, but Darui grabbed him before he did anything hasty.

"Calm it man." Darui said.

"Who Are You?!" Chojuro screamed.

"My name is Nico Reed. I am the Stand User of Velvet Underground." Nico introduced himself with his armored Stand behind him.

"I'll Kill You!" Chojuro screamed with tears running down his eyes.

"I invite you to do so." Nico said with a smirk. Chojuro tried to move, but Darui kept him from jumping off.

"Chojuro, we go down there, we're sitting ducks." Darui said.

"Not true." Nico's smirk widened. Velvet Underground went into the ground.

Suddenly more crystals shot up like cannon balls.

"Watch Out!" Chojuro screamed as Sandstorm Dragon started taking evasive actions.

"I can attack you from here! The whole earth myself is my weapon! I can reach you all anywhere!" Nico said as he started to giggle and then it turned into laughter.

Suddenly a shard was stabbed into the neck of Sandstorm Dragon.

"Sandstorm!" Gaara shouted with shock as he saw his Stand get stabbed in the neck. Suddenly more shards stabbed the Stand throughout its body. Suddenly the crystals exploded, causing the Stand to explode and shards of crystals to fly out and stab into our three remaining heroes. They gritted their teeth with pain as they felt tiny shards stabbed into them.

"I could have killed you all anytime I had desired, but I found it better to separate the most troublesome one in your group and deal with him before ending your lives. And now my goal will come into fruition." Nico calmly said, holding his chin in hand. "Def Leppard-sama… I am the one to finish this adventure!" Nico proclaimed proudly as our three heroes were descending ever so closer to the crystal spikes below. "This part… is over!" Nico proclaimed with his hands raised to the air, but suddenly the surrounding crystals scattered apart like dust, shocking Nico right as Gaara, Chojuro and Darui hit the ground.

"What the… how?" Darui questioned.

"You~… bastard!" The all looked to see a clearly pissed off Kurotsuchi, holding Naruto in her arms. "How dare you cause so much trouble?! The day someone from my own village would turn their backs on their home to work for some creeps… Once Was Enough!" Kurotsuchi shouted with gritting teeth and a glare.

"Hmph. You still live." Nico said with his hands to his hips.

"Yeah! And I have a few questions for you! Why are you now working against the village?!"

"Easy. I don't side with losers. Especially with a leader who is hot tempered." Nico said nonchalantly as he then started digging his nails for dirt, pissing off Kurotsuchi even more. "People don't realize it, but Iwa is right down there with Kiri, being the second weakest Hidden Village there is. I despise being known as weak. I hate being a part of something that's weak. Iwa's just a crutch."

"You~… you son of a bitch… I swear… I AM THE ONE WHO'S GOING TO KILL YOU!" Kurotsuchi screamed.

"Please. I should be the one to kill you. You're siding with someone who looks to be a doppelganger of the Yondaime Hokage." Nico said with a calm expression.

Kurotsuchi looked down to Naruto's face. Now that it was brought up, he does look like the Yondaime Hokage, but with whisker marks and a different size face and eyes. Other than that, a clone in all aspects, except personality. Yet still… she could not feel…

"I'd rather side with this loser than with a punk like you. I'm… going to kill you." Kurotsuchi growled as a cloud of white great mist appeared next to her, shocking the others. As the cloud dissipated, Kurotsuchi's Stand was finally fully revealed.

It was a slim female built white grey Stand with as previously stated, had hands with rings around the joints of the fingers, studs on the knuckles, atom emblems on the back of the hands and double helix patterns on the back of the arms. It had purple lips, white eyes, and three circles on its face, one on the forehead and one on each cheek. The back of its head had two long pieces on each side of the back of the head curving at the end, kind of making it look like two long locks of hair, only more smooth and glossy. On the center of its chest was another atom emblem and below it, two double helix designs crossed over one another on the torso with each strand starting from the shoulders and going down diagonally to the waist. It wore sharp heeled boots with shin guards, atom emblems on the knees, on the shoulders were the negative and positive signs, with negative on the left shoulder and positive on the right, and on the back was a large atom emblem, but unlike the others, this one had a small heart in the center instead of the usual sphere.

"My Stand…" Kurotsuchi spoke as the shard from Naruto's body were vanishing. "Will break you apart!" Kurotsuchi shouted pointing at Nico.

Nico's eyes were a bit wide as he noticed the bizarre technique she used.

'She broke apart the molecules. Is this her kekkei genkai (bloodline limit), or her Stand? Either way I must stay away from her grasp.' Nico thought.

'So she was stabbed by the arrow.' Gaara thought as he and the others looked to her.

"I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" Kurotsuchi screamed with rage as her Stand charged forward, but it soon stopped, surprising Kurotsuchi and the others.

"One meter." Darui pointed out.

"Na… nandato? (What the hell?) How in-" Kurotsuchi ten remembered what Naruto said before. 'Oh Dammit! I forgot, these things have a range limit!'

Nico laughed with amusement.

"A one range meter. How pitiful. Guess I don't have much to worry about." Nico said with a smirk and his eyes closed, but on the inside is a different story. 'With a range like that, it could only mean this Stand is extremely powerful. I get near her, it's over. She's officially the most dangerous person in this group. I must get rid of her as quickly as I can.' Nico opened his eyes and shouted. "Velvet Underground!" As crystals shot at Kurotsuchi and Naruto.

Kurotsuchi gasped in shock and worry, but her Stand moved its hands quickly, managing to block them with its palms, leading to molecular separation upon contact. Kurotsuchi and the others stared in amazement at the feat.

"Whoa." Chojuro said in amazement.

'Totemo Tsuyoi.' (So Strong) Nico thought with wide eyes. 'Guess we'll go big then.'

The ground below shook. Kurotsuchi placed her hands on the ground, sensing much seismic activity below her and Naruto. She quickly jumped up, still holding Naruto as a giant spikey crystal rose up to stab them both, but Kurotsuchi's Stand quickly appeared below its user and sent a barrage of punches at the crystal, instantly breaking it into molecules upon contact.

"Yes!" Kurotsuchi cheered with a grin.

'Tsuyosugiru!' (Too Strong!) Nico thought with shock and new fear.

"Sandstorm!" Gaara shouted as he extended his hand forward as Sandstorm, appeared above Kurotsuchi and Naruto, in its dragon form, caught the two in its claws and flew towards Nico, scaring him.

"I'm coming for you, thin dick!" Kurotsuchi shouted with an antsy grin. Nico started to sweat.

"Velvet Underground!" Nico screamed as crystals shot at the pair and Stand sand dragon, but Kurotsuchi's Stand just atomized them upon contact, via rush of punches. "Screw this!" Nico screamed as he hurried back to the hole, but suddenly, Power Station and Darui were in front of him, keeping him from escaping.

"Going somewhere?" Darui rhetorically asked, before he punched Nico right in the face, causing his nose to bleed before his Stand sent a barrage of punches.

"DRADRADRADRADRADRADRADRADRADRADRADRADRADRADRADRA! DRAB MAN!" Power Station sent Nico flying away, causing a trail of blood to fly as Nico was in the air for a few moments, before stumbling across the ground to a halt.

Nico laid face first, shaking with pain as blood surrounded him and dirtied his clothes.

"What was that you said earlier? That you could have killed us at any time you wanted? I'm starting to think that you were only talking shit. Pain in the ass." Darui said coolly pointing to the down Nico.

"Ha! Weakling!" Kurotsuchi exclaimed with a grin.

"Weakling? Me?" Nico panted as he started rising up. "You ruined my beauty. You've insulted me. And now you believe you can humiliate me?!" Nico's eyes shined red violet. "Watashi wa… anata… O Subete Korosu Yo!" (I'll… kill you all!) Nico screamed. "Velvet Underground!" Nico screamed as his armored Stand appeared behind him. Suddenly a tornado of heat was surrounding the giant armored fists of Velvet Underground, alarming everyone. "Korosu~. Watashi wa… ANATA O SUBETE KOROSU YO~!" (Kill~. I'll… KILL YOU ALL!) Nico screamed as he shot to his feet and his Stand slammed both fists into the ground below.

Our heroes stared at him in shock, but after a while they sensed nothing.

"Pfft! What was that?! An intimidation move? All show, no substance." Kurotsuchi insulted.

"I'll melt you alive, you little skank." Nico said hunched over as he glared at Kurotsuchi with one eye shadowed and the other glowing red violet.

"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?! I'LL KILL YOU FI-" Suddenly the ground shook violently, causing Chojuro and Gaara to fall while Darui tried to stay on his feet. "Wha… what's happenin-"

Suddenly plumes of lava shot from the ground, scaring everyone as they whole area was becoming surrounded with lava, with much of it still rising to the sky.

"This Is My Last Move! If I Cannot Kill You All and Live Then I'll Take You All With Me! ALL HAIL DEF LEPPARD!" Nico screamed to the sky as lava surrounded him.

Lava was surrounding Darui, Gaara and Chojuro. Gaara tried to summon sand, but as it came out of the gourd, it turned to glass.

"The heat is so intense, my sand is turning into glass!" Gaara shouted.

"This is it, isn't it?!" Chojuro shouted with fear.

'Dammit. All this way just to near death's door again.' Darui mentally cursed his luck.

"No Way! I ain't dying without taking him with me!" Kurotsuchi screamed. Gaara quickly raised his hand as he had Sandstorm Dragon dive at Nico. Nico roared as a plume of lava came up under the sand dragon. Sandstorm luckily dodged, but its wing was burned away, causing it to end up lopsided and for Kurotsuchi to lose her grip on Naruto. "Naruto!" Kurotsuchi screamed.

Naruto gritted his teeth as he summoned Golden Asura, ready to punch the lava. Although, would that really help. One way to find out.

"ORA! ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!" Golden Asura was managing to punch through the lava, but Naruto's hands were smoking and turning char.

"Ranton: Laser Circus!" Darui quickly shot beams at Naruto, but then directed them to the sky. Quickly Darui grabbed the leg of his Stand as it rode one of the lasers managing to make it to Naruto, grabbing him as it then flew to the sky with its user and the blonde, like a cable car.

"Nice move." Naruto said to Darui as the Kumo-nin grabbed Naruto by the jacket.

"Won't last long though. Once the jutsu wears off, we'll be flying down into a pit of lava. Even though you made a hole for it to sink in, more is still coming." Darui said.

"Then it's a good thing I took these from the caverns." Naruto said as he reached into his pocket.

Kurotsuchi growled with rage as she dived down towards Nico.

"MUDA DA!" (USELESS) Nico screamed as a plume of lava rose in front of him, blocking Kurotsuchi from attacking him. "You Will Not Kill Me!" However a pair of hands broke through the lava as the plume was being atomized, leading to a large hole made by Kurotsuchi's Stand to appear in the middle of the plume, shocking Nico. "NANI?!" Nico screamed with shock and fear.

"Even Lava Can Be Broken Apart By the Atom!" Kurotsuchi screamed.

'I Refuse To Die… By Your Hand!' Nico mentally screamed. "VELVET UNDERGROUND!" Velvet Underground appeared with a long, large sharp crystal spike out of its hand, ready to thrust it through Kurotsuchi's head. "IT'S OVER!" Suddenly Nico was shot in the head by something, causing a hole through it. 'Na… ni?' (Wh… at?)

"I picked these up back at the cavern just in case." Naruto said as he and Darui descended. Golden Asura was beside him with crystal shard being held in the Stand's hand. "I wanted to test this. Let's see how you like being a pin cushion." Naruto said.

"ORA!" Golden Asura flicked its thumb, causing a shard to rocket down, passing Kurotsuchi, as it stabbed right through Nico's cheek. Nico screamed as Golden Asura shot more crystal shards at him, creating a multitude of holes throughout his body.

"END IT!" Kurotsuchi screamed as her Stand was now in range with its fists cocked back.

"KUROKUROKUROKUROKUROKUROKUROKUROKURO!" Kurotsuchi's Stand chanted as it then reared its right fist back far, before slamming it forward into Nico's gut. "KURO TO AO!" (BLACK AND BLUE) Kurotsuchi's Stand screamed as it slammed Nico right into the ground, with its fist breaking right through his stomach as suddenly the lava in the entire area was being atomized.

Naruto and Darui hit the ground, safely with the lava now atomized and scattered, as their Stands vanished.

Chojuro sighed with relief as he wiped away sweat from his brow.

Nico screamed at the pain of his body being atomized. Kurotsuchi had already hit the ground, panting as she felt drained.

"YOKUNAI, YOKUNAI, YOKUNAI, YOKUNAI, YOKUNAI!" (NOT GOOD) Nico screamed as his hole lower half was gone. "I Must Escape!" Nico quickly turned his body around, somehow, and started crawling away, but he felt someone grab him by the wrist.

"Hell no… are you going to survive this." Nico turned his head to see a seriously pissed off Kurotsuchi gripped his wrist tightly. "I'm gonna kill you right now!" Kurotsuchi yelled as her Stand lifted a severely scared Nico into the air by his arm. Kurotsuchi found the strength to stand, albeit trembling through her efforts, and glared at Nico's scared face as she tightened her hand into a fist. "This is for Iwa!" Kurotsuchi punched him in his liver, making him cough up blood. "This is for being a traitor!" Kurotsuchi grabbed his arm and kneed his elbow, effectively breaking it, causing Nico to scream as tears flew from his eyes. "This is for all the hell you created!" Kurotsuchi punched him in his heart, causing him to cough up more blood as his heart raced from impact. "This is for my new friends!" Kurotsuchi punched him in his right eye, giving him a new black eye. "This Is For Naruto!" Kurotsuchi sent a strong right haymaker punch to Nico's nose, breaking it as blood went flying. "And this… IS FOR CALLING ME SKANK!"

"KUROKUROKUROKUROKUROKUROKUROKUROKUROKUROKUROKUROKUROKUROKUROKUROKUROKURO!" Kurotsuchi's Stand screamed as it punched the shit out of Nico, atomizing the rest of his body until he was just a head.

"TURN TO DUST!" Kurotsuchi screamed as she and her Stand sent a hard punch to Nico's face.

"KURO TO AO!" Kurotsuchi Stand screamed as it started atomizing Nico.

Nico screamed bloody murder as what remained of his being atomized until there was nothing left.

(Nico Reed. Stand: Velvet Underground. Village of Origin: Iwagakure. Rank: Chunin. Status: Deceased.)

Kurotsuchi panted, her face sweat profoundly, as he Stand faded away. Kurotsuchi fell to her knee.

"Kurotsuchi-chan!" Naruto shouted as he got out of Darui's hold and ran over to the Iwa kunoichi as she fell face first against the ground. Naruto hurried to her side, kneeling down as the others joined. Naruto picked her up in his arm as he summoned Golden Asura to heal her. A golden aura surrounded her as her wounds were healing. Once done, she opened her eyes to see everyone staring down at her. "Good job kicking ass." Naruto said with a smile as the others smiled as well.

Kurotsuchi blushed as they all smiled own at her. She also noticed Naruto was the one holding her in his arms.

"Quit crowding on me!" Kurotsuchi exclaimed as she slammed her hand into Naruto's cheek. She quickly got to her feet, dusting her clothes off. "Well, at least we know who the strongest of us is now." Kurotsuchi said with her hands on her hips as Naruto stared at her with a frown and half lidded eyes as he rubbed his cheek that had a red hand print on it.

"Your Stand is the strongest we've ever seen so far, yes, but Stands still have their weaknesses. Yours being that you must make contact with objects and people in order to affect them on the molecular level." Gaara pointed out.

"Still can kick your Stand's ass." Kurotsuchi said with her arms crossed.

"I don't know. I think Gaara's Stand doesn't transfer damage to Gaara because it's made of Sand." Naruto said as he stood up.

"Whatever. I don't see your Stand atomizing a whole area of lava." Kurotsuchi said.

"Speaking of your Stand, you thought a name yet?" Naruto asked.

"Hm. Let's see… it sure can thin out danger pretty easy." Kurotsuchi thought it over, holding her chin between her thumb and index finger.

"Hey, I got one!" Chojuro spoke up. "How about Thin Lizzy?" Chojuro suggested with a smile and finger up. The others stared at him for a few moments.

"Baka!" Kurotsuchi grabbed Chojuro by the collar and brought him over. "What kind of name is that?! And Lizzy? What's the big idea? Is it just because I'm a girl? You think it fits because I'm now the only female in the group? Huh?!" Kurotsuchi bitched.

"I'm sorry!" Chojuro cried with his eyes closed.

"It's fine actually." Gaara said with his arms crossed.

"Yeah. It actually sounds pretty good." Darui said with his own arms crossed.

"Yeah. Not bad at all." Naruto said crossing his arms too. After a few moments, he start snickering, before he gave a full blown laughter.

"You Punk!" Kurotsuchi released Chojuro and grabbed Naruto by the arm and put him in a grapple, stretching him away with her foot. "I Knew That Would Happen!"

"You got a better idea for a name?" Naruto questioned, gritting his teeth in pain. Kurotsuchi stopped stretching his arm and thought about it, finding no answer.

"Fine. Thin Lizzy it is." Kurotsuchi said, releasing Naruto's arm and crossing her own arms. "I guess it's a better name than Golden Asura."

"You wish." Naruto whispered as he snickered again, only to get punched in the face by Kurotsuchi, sending him to the ground.

(Stand: Thin Lizzy. User: Kurotsuchi. Namesake: The band Thin Lizzy. Abilities: Molecular Deconstruction, Reconstruction and Manipulation.)

"So where to now?" Kurotsuchi asked with her arms crossed.

"Same route as always. To Hoshi, but seeing as its night out, we should set up a camp site after we travel for a bit." Gaara said. "By the way, you two still have the arrow, right?" Gaara asked.

"Yeah. Still do." Naruto said, getting up from the ground and pulling the arrow from underneath the back of his jacket. "How it didn't fall out through that whole mess is a mystery to me.

"Naruto and I figured something out too." Kurotsuchi said, earning the attention of the others.

"We think this group of evil Stand users have their own arrow." Naruto said with a serious expression. The others blinked, staring at them.

"Yeah, we already figured that." Darui said.

"Huh?" Naruto and Kurotsuchi said with surprised expressions.

"Yeah I mean, how else could you explain these new Stand users since if they did know they wouldn't have had Newton and John to keep it?" Chojuro said with a shrug.

"Uh, well…" Naruto couldn't find an answer for that since its obvious now he was slower than the others as discovering things out.

"You Idiot!" Kurotsuchi shouted as she turned to Naruto.

"Hey! You're the one who found it out first!" Naruto argued.

"Yeah, but I only just joined the group! You should have known since the start!" Kurotsuchi shouted.

"That's still no excuse! We told you we faced these guys before so you shouldn't have made a big deal over it!" Naruto shouted.

"Oh shut it, you baka!"

"Kuso Onna!" (Damn Woman)

"That's it! You're Dead!" Kurotsuchi shouted.

Naruto quickly ran away with Kurotsuchi giving chase.

"At this rate we won't be able to get a full night's sleep. What a drab." Darui said as he, Gaara and Chojuro watched Naruto running for his life from the mad Kurotsuchi.

"Help Me You Idiots!" Naruto screamed.

"I'm not getting near that." Darui and Chojuro said in unison while Gaara remained silent.

In the desert, a lone young man, wearing a black cloak that surrounded his entire being, with a pair of goggles on, a red scarf and a large bandit hat was walking through the breezy desert.

His cloak blew through the wind as he continued to walk alone.

Suddenly a giant millipede came from the sand and attacked, but faster than the eye could see, gunshots were fired as six bullets went through the head of the giant millipede, but then they started looping around, going through throughout the millipede's body, scattering holes all over the body, making it into Swiss cheese.

The bullets vanished after a few moments, allowing the now carcass of the giant millipede to fall and all the while the mysterious stranger continued walking.

The smacking of lips was then heard.

"I need a bottle of raspberry champagne."

To Be Continued…

And that's Chapter 4.

I hope you all liked it. This is the main cast that we will be following throughout this bizarre part of a young blonde's life. Honestly… I'm liking what I have so far.

I already planned things out the best I could, ya know? I honestly don't know how Hirohiko Araki-senpai used to do this on a weekly basis.

Speaking of the old times, this is just queries of a Jojo Fan, but… has anyone else thought that maybe Part 8, Jojolion's main antagonist is going to have a Stand that has a dimension or space manipulating Stand like Funny Valentine? Because I find it strange how after DIO, all the main antagonists had gained or had Stands that could manipulate time (rewind by one hour, skip five seconds in reality, and accelerate time) before we went into the next Universe.

Oh well that's just me.

Thank you all for reading, and if I have anything left to say it's…

Part 4 has the biggest plot hole. Joseph was around, could have used a camera to discover who Kira was and to find out which face he had after the Cinderella beauty salon incident. But it's mainly about the journey, than the goal of these Bizarre Adventures.

I hope you all stick with me in this journey.

Thank you all once again and I hope to see you all again… well, more like hope you all read again.

Takeshi1225, out!
