Chapter 36


'Megumin!' Darkness called out. She had a worried expression. That is because Megumin quite literally disappeared from her face.

She was walking when she stumbled on a drunk Aqua.

'Blurp...e...why...can't I...revive...them…' Aqua drunkenly said.

Darkness carried her up. She felt upset at Aqua's behaviour. Although Aqua usually performed some silly antics, she took pride in her revival abilities.

However, now that her abilities have been locked for some reason, Aqua went into a state of depression.

She brought her to a nearby tent and nestled her inside. Darkness let out a long sigh as she left the tent.

Suddenly, shouts was heard all around the town. She perked up and ran towards the source, only to see bodies.

'(What?!)' Darkness was shocked at the sight. She pinched herself, and realised that it wasn't a dream.

'(Did the Akatsuki return?!)' Contrary to her thoughts, a sole child stood in front of all the corpses. He had blond hair and green eyes.

He wore a barkeeper suit and rested on his back was a shortsword. Peculiar crimson marks appeared on his face and body.

'A child?' Darkness muttered.

'Don't be fooled! He killed everyone!' A random civilian yelled out. The next second, his head fell off his body.

'AHHHH!' The town was in shambles. Chaos ensued. And it was all due to one person.

'Who are you?!' Darkness roared.

However, the boy didn't seem to be capable of speech as he looked ahead blankly, not focusing on any of the destruction around him.

'Wha!' A gasp was heard behind Darkness. She looked behind and saw a fearful Aqua.

'(Damn...right when the girls are out and about trying to cheer Nepgear up…)' Darkness thought. The girls, namingly referred to the CPUs, CPU Candidates, Kurisu, and Mayuri. Okabe was out cold from his injuries so he couldn't fight either.

Why, you may ask? Well...plot. I mean, any fighters who I didn't mention who are strong...they are doing something, somewhere. Just ignore them. And, please, return into the confines of the fourth wall.

'Everyone! Don't be afraid! Rally up!' A man with a happuri-style forehead protector, named Yamato ordered.

ANBU forces began being deployed against the boy. They attacked in synchronisation, with the frontline attackers attempting to restrain him.

However, the boy jumped and spun, creating such force the frontline got pushed back and separated.

The backline ninjas created a massive fireball with their combined efforts and sent it towards the demon of a child.

However, once again, he wasn't hurt. Rather, he finally spoke.

'Full Counter.' The fireball was shot back as the size easily doubled.

The ninjas shook at the sight in front of them and silently said their last words when a pink haired boy suddenly jumped in and ate the fireball.

After doing so, he let out a loud blurp and smirked. A flying blue cat circled him.

'Looks like you guys need some help?' The newcomer asked. Realising that the ANBU were too afraid to speak, Darkness replied.

'Yeah!'

'Nice! Leave it to me!' He roared.

'Natsu.' The cat said.

'Yeah Happy.' He replied.

Happy grabbed Natsu by his waist.

'Time to turn up the heat!' Natsu announced. They took flight as Happy dashed towards the enemy.

Natsu began punching in which the blond was able to easily dodge. As the blond retaliated with a slash, Natsu flew up, dodging the strike.

'Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!' Baths engulfed his fist in flames and punched the blond.

The blond was sent hurling back. Natsu smiled at this, but not for long when the blond boosted back and kicked Natsu with such force Happy went flying into Darkness's armour.

'Are you alright?' Darkness asked.

'Aye…' Happy replied in a daze.

Natsu recoiled as he looked at the blond. The blond now had purple marks, as well as crimson marks, covering his body.

'Heh...this scouting mission is gonna be a lot better than I initially thought…' Natsu laughed as he slammed his right fist into his left palm.

Suddenly, wood began erupting from beneath.

'Don't leave me out of this!' Yamato said. Natsu looked at him and smiled.

'Weird metal face uses Wood Magic?' Natsu asked. Yamato sweatdropped at the nickname.

The blond quickly tore through the wood bindings as daggers suddenly rained from the sky.

Another child with brown hair wearing a coat stared at them with lifeless eyes. He also had crimson marks around his body.

'Two versus two eh? Bring it on! This is getting me fired up!' Natsu roared.


'Tch...I feel like I'm recently only running away…' Sasuke dryly said.

Pain paid no attention to him as he attempted to contact Emperor.

He wanted to know the latest information on the second raid on Konoha.

Pain wanted to let the Akatsuki handle this but Emperor said that he had no confidence in their abilities anymore after the first failed attempt.

This was one of the reasons why Pain was planning on backstabbing him.

Anyway, Deidara started laughing at Sasuke, much to his annoyance.

'I'm leaving momentarily. Stay here.' Pain ordered. Deidara nodded while Sasuke had his usual poker face.

Pain flickered away. The truth was, he didn't have anything to do. But, Deidara was getting on his nerves.

Suddenly, Pain fell to the ground.

'Fuck…you...Emperor!' Then, his eyes lost all life.

It turned out that Pain's real body, also known as Nagato, had been stabbed through the heart, much like June.

And there, Pain was eliminated. Oh, and since Konan(the paper girl), was with Nagato, she died as well. This leaves Deidara, Sasuke, and Obito.

Back to the two boys, Deidara was busily laughing at Sasuke for many things. Most of them were dumb.

'Why am I on the same team as you…' Sasuke said, annoyed.

'Cause we are the only two left, smartass.' Deidara cleverly retorted.


Kazuma deadpanned.

'Great. I wake up to see myself in the belly of a monster.' He said, matter of factly.

Megumin was sitting beside him, watching a show.

And that show...was a person with light blue hair attempting to destroy the monster's stomach. And each time he did that, the muscles contract and crushes his entire body.

And then, seconds later, the man comes back to life.

Oh, and he's naked. Since his outfit pretty much died to the countless deaths.

Ladies and gentlemen, guess who?

Of course, it's the Undead Ban. Whew! My favourite guy out and ready to rock!

Oh, and Kakashi is injured, and Naruto is still unconscious.

'I could probably use Explosion and get us out of here.' Megumin suggested.

'I don't have mana to supply you with.' Kazuma said.

She pointed to Ban.

'Hey! You got any extra mana?' Kazuma asked.

Ban stopped, and looked at them.

'Sorry dude. I used up all of mine. Otherwise why the fuck ya think I'm punching this guy?' He answered.

'...Naruto?' Megumin asked.

'Drained from earlier…'

'Subaru?'

'..Same reason. Plus he's off on recon.'

'Tch...Kazuma is useless…'

'...'

'...'


Some place

'So here we are!' Rain announced. The four stood in front of an elevator and it seemed to lead to the land beneath.

'It's an elevator?' Blake asked.

'I thought I mentioned it…' Rain muttered.

'You did...' Gaara spoke up.

'Ahahaha...' Blake laughed sheepishly.

Rain shrugged it off and pressed a button. He didn't mind that Blake didn't bother to listen to his words. He had a trump card: Emperus the Ultimatum.

'The guards were easy.' Jotaro plainly said.

'Eh...I guess we're more powerful than I gave credit for…' Rain replied.

'Let's go.' Blake said.

The others nodded.

To be continued


AN: Man. I'm sorry for the abrupt end to the Akatsuki arc. I couldn't think of an easy way to end it since I never planned this far lol. Really sorry for you Nagato and Konan lovers...hehehe...anyway! Next chapter is the new arc! Fairy Tail and Seven Deadly Sins! I'm thinking of doing a more unique approach each arc like maybe labyrinth, tournament, death matches etc. Let me know if you would like them.
