Many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I really appreciated it and this gave me inspiration to work on the next chapter and here the story picks up where the last chapter left, as Naruto and the Gran Prix Of Desire participants are faced with unexpected odds as they are transported inside the unidentified hideout which houses the Nomu…and whether the participants would be able to replicate their success after defeating the Creature Rejection Clan during their previous task…
Well then, read on and enjoy!
The scene shifts at the corporate building where you can see that Rikiya Yotsubashi, aka Re-Destro, is overseeing the operations and he is very pleased with what he is seeing, as Tsumuri sent the participants to the next task, in which the participants are transported to the secret hideout of the League Of Villains, and there Hanabata is intrigued as she wanted to see if the participants still have confidence after they defeated the Creature Rejection Clan with relative ease.
Chikazoku was able to hack the satellite to an extent that only he, Hanabata and Yotsubashi are the only ones that can see the inside of the hideout, and there they can see the participants are bracing themselves as they are confronted by the awakening army of Nomu, which Yotsubashi just smiled while Hanabata began to take notes, planning to INTERVIEW the participants once they come back.
Chikazoku told Yotsubashi that this is where they would collect the data and see if the equipment that they supplied to the participants would live up to expectations, which Yotsubashi said that if the participants do end up losing, then it is okay as long as there are participants who succeed in the task Tsumuri assigned.
"So you won't mind losing the participants, Re-Destro?"
"Oh, not at all…"
"Really?"
"As long as there are survivors and that we gain valuable data…"
"Good point, though."
"At least we get a good start…and see how the initial tests go…"
"Right…"
"…"
By then Tsumuri came and informed Yotsubashi about the current situation and though she seemed to be pleased with the progress, she also told him that there is anticipation of deaths amongst the participants, and tells him that should casualties arise given that the participants are facing the Nomus, and possibly the members of the League Of Villains, new ID Cores should be produced if they are going to entice more people to SIGN UP for the experiment.
Yotsubashi nodded and tells her to keep monitoring the situation which she nodded and left the room, just as Yotsubashi left and went to the production area and told the workers to start making more ID Cores and make as many as possible, which the workers nodded in acknowledgement, not minding it as they are being paid and seemingly respected Yotsubashi due to his CHARISMATIC AURA.
"Yes, sir."
"Yes, sir."
"Yes, sir."
"Yes, sir."
"Yes, sir."
"Yes, sir."
"Yes, sir."
"Yes, sir."
After that, Yotsubashi return to the same room where Chikazoku and Hanabata are there as they are watching the scene, and there Chikazoku told Yotsubashi that a few select participants are seemingly heading to another area that is coincidentally near where Ujiko is hiding, and are being led by Naruto, Sasuke and Shinra.
Hanabata appeared to be excited and Yotsubashi smiled, and there he told Chikazoku to keep monitoring that group as he wanted to see how Naruto and his band would fare well using the equipment they have, as Chikazoku noted that Naruto, Sasuke and Shinra have yet to transform into their armored forms as they remained in their civilian guises since encountering the Creature Rejection Clan.
"Makes me wonder when those three boys are going to transform…"
"Oh, it's fine, Chikazoku…"
"You sure, Re-Destro?"
"Its in their discretion…so everything is fine and dandy."
"Okay, if you say so…"
"Just continue monitoring the events…and gather the data we need."
"Okay."
"Good."

Ch. 5: Dai gyakusatsu no raundo
The scene shifts at the unspecified area within the hideout where Daruma Ujiko is overseeing the operations before a live footage from a monitor caught his attention, where he saw three dozen intruders somewhat got inside and are being confronted by Nomus, and there Ujiko rubbed his chin, intrigued as he saw the intruders are wearing SWAT-like, black-colored armors while their helmets have animal motif, which Kagero Okuta, aka Giran, rubbed his head as he arrived, where he expressed slight surprise at seeing them.
Ujiko asked if he know about the intruders, which Giran said that one of his contacts informed him that the intruders on the monitors are the ones who MASSACRED the members of the Creature Rejection Clan, leaving no one alive and this made Ujiko intrigued, and asked if Giran has any more info that he could tell.
"Sorry, doc…what I just told you just now is the only info I got."
"Really?"
"Yeah. And it makes me wonder if those idiots are into brainless cosplay or high on drugs…"
"Well…I suppose that they may be…"
"That's what I'm thinking…they really got the nerve to take out the Creature Rejection Clan just like that…"
"True, Giran…I never seen them having such motivation…"
"Hmm…"
"What is it, Giran?"
Giran then noticed something from the other monitor where it shows that Naruto, Sasuke and Shinra are heading to another area, and are being followed by five more individuals, all of them dressed in firefighter-like attire, which Giran sarcastically commented that they looked like participants from the Netflix- produced South Korean drama The Squid Game.
"You think so, Giran?"
"That's what I noticed…"
"Heh…and you think that those boys' attires are what made you think that they are doing something foolish?"
"If you think about it…especially after how they made short work on the Creature Rejection Clan members in such a fashion, doc…"
"Ho-ho…"
"But those boys are nearing our hiding spot…"
"Hmm…you are right, Giran..."
"So then…"
Giran then asked if they should evacuate seeing that, via the monitor, that Naruto's group are somewhat near where Giran and Ujiko are, but the latter is not concerned and said that they are safe here for the time being, and expressed interest in seeing the other intruders facing the group of Nomus, curious to know if they are pro heroes or a group of misguided idiots having a simple-minded mindset like those of the Creature Rejection Clan.
"I say we stay and watch this, Giran."
"You sure, doc?"
"Yes. Besides…I'm curious…and intrigued…what are they after…"
"I doubt you'd get answers since the Nomu would make quick work out of them…"
"But if those brats do managed to outsmart the Nomu...then they are worth researching…"
"Really?"
"Really."
"…"

At the area where the Nomus are unleashed, the participants are ready to fight, feeling that their armored forms are enough to protect them, and there a dog-sized Nomu charges forward, initiating the attack, and the armored participants charged as well, and ganged up on the small Nomu, killing it in the process, which for some reason, earned the participants some points and this caused Tsumuri to contact the participants, informing them of the BONUS POINTS they received and will be given BONUS ITEMS, which raised the participants' morale enough to entice them to face the other Nomus in front of them.
"Oh, yeah…let's use them! And if we win…we'll get more money! Let's do this, guys!"
"Okay!"
"Okay!"
"Okay!"
"Okay!"
"Okay!"
"Okay!"
"Okay!"
In an instant, several small items, resembling hand-sized treasure chests, appeared, and as the participants opened it, it revealed to be some kind of items where Tsumuri told them that they are weapons which can be activated if they inserted them to the right-side slot of the Desire Driver, which further enticed the armored participants, prompting them to take the items and intend to activate them.
But before the participants would get the chance to activate them, the Nomu got to them and began attacking, and despite their armored forms the participants are starting to take damage, and though they fought valiantly, they slowly fell as the damage gradually became severe that a voice activated feature from the Desire Driver spoke, informing the users who sustain fatal damage that once the participants' items are damaged beyond repair, so will the participants' lives, causing the participants to panic, and it shows.
As the ID Cores within the Desire Driver glowed as if they are self-destructing, the participants began to experience bodily pain as if they are about to explode from within, and within seconds the participants got ELECTROCUTED, to such a high degree, in which the ID Cores within the Desire Driver shattered, and the participants' transformations are undone, and now they are reduced to burnt skeletons, making them unidentified and autopsy impossible to perform, while the Desire Drivers left behind MYSTERIOUSLY TELEPORTED away, leaving a few Nomus behind.

Back at the corporate building, Tsumuri entered and reported to Yotsubashi about the current situation, which a somewhat surprised Yotsubashi raised an eyebrow as Hanabata gave Yotsubashi a tablet and he glanced at the monitor, which shows the participants who are en route to the target area are the only ones left to complete the task, and raised his eyebrow further as it shows the participants and their assigned code names, which includes:
- Kamen Rider Geats
- Kamen Rider Buffa
- Kamen Rider Shiro
- Kamen Rider Meleo
- Kamen Rider Taria
- Kamen Rider Okemarupi
- Kamen Rider Yaiva
- Kamen Rider Nippo
Yotsubashi smirked as if there is nothing to be concerned of, and tells Tsumuri to continue monitoring the events, which she nodded and left the room, and there he instructed Chikazoku to keep him informed of the events, as he is really curious if the remaining participants have what it takes to complete the task, which Chikazoku nodded, admitting that he finds watching the situation quite entertaining as if he is watching a survival game that is somewhat similar to the Korean show from Netflix, The Squid Game.
"Got to admit…watching them struggling is quite entertaining…though it makes me wonder when those three boys and the remaining ones are going to transform…"
"Oh, it's fine, Chikazoku…there's no need to rush."
"You sure, Re-Destro?"
"Yes. And besides…its alreat in their discretion…so everything is fine and dandy."
"Okay, if you say so…"
"Just continue monitoring the events…and gather the data we need."
"Okay."
"Good."
-x-
Meanwhile, Sasuke is rushing ahead and is determined to complete the task and is prepared to do whatever it takes, while ignoring Shinra's urging to stop acting alone, reminding him that this task is teamwork-required, hence they should work together, which Sasuke told Shinra to SHOVE IT UP TO HIS ASSHOLE.
"Hey, will you stop acting childish?"
"…"
"We should be working together!"
"Buzz off, you firefighting freak!"
"What…?"
"I'm going to win this no matter what!"
"Are you really that selfish?"
"You got a problem? If you love water so much then get a job as a plumber!"
Shinra started to lose patience and confronted Sasuke, and the two nearly come to blows though Naruto urged the two to calm down, as he showed his smartphone to them, where Naruto said that the participants who were left behind have been ELIMINATED, though he is unsure if they are dead or disqualified from the experiment and sent back.
Sasuke then said that this is good as he has less things to worry about, and this infuriated Shinra and verbally lashes out, though Naruto urged him to calm down and tells Sasuke to stop acting selfishly, only to be told that all that matters is to complete the task and nothing more, as he sees everyone as competition that needs to be eliminated.
But then, a participant came and placed a hand on Sakuke's shoulder and urged him to calm down and not act out on his own, reasoning that teamwork is now the primary importance as they are the only ones left and in order to complete the task they should put aside whatever rivalry they have.
Sasuke stared wide-eyed at seeing who approached him, as he never thought he would see someone at a place like this and in an unlikely circumstances, which Naruto and Shinra stared as they are baffled to see that a fellow participant appeared to know Sasuke from before, as the participant gave a surprised Sasuke an assuring smile.
"What…how…?"
"Sasuke."
"Y-you…"
"Calm down. This is not the time to be petty."
"You…you're a…participant too…?"
"Its been a while, Sasuke. Yes, I'm in this as well."
"Shisui…"
"Please calm yourself, Sasuke."
The participant is identified as Shisui Uchiha, a member of the Uchiha clan which Sasuke's family is a part of, and there he tells Sasuke that for now, they should all work together if they are to complete the task and survive, saying that the situation is somewhat serious as they are unsure whether the participants whose name disappeared from the list are either disqualified or killed off, making Shinra concerned, as he is somewhat unaware about the fact that death is a possibility in completing a task.
