Chapter 169: Ohm's New Lease on Life

Naruto stared at the depressed man. He poked him with a stick, he didn't respond what so ever.

"This just getting depressing." Said Kyubi.

"You're the one who did it to him." Thought Naruto.

"Well for once I'll take the blame." Said Kyubi.

Naruto was shocked when he heard that.

"What's wrong?" asked Gaara appearing next to him.

"Kyubi took the blame for something." Said Naruto in shock.

Gaara looked mildly surprised.

"Either way, it's up to me to cheer him up!" yelled Naruto.

That was when the giant snake came up through the clouds.

"Just ignore what the snake is doing. It's not her fault." Explained Kyubi, "Your brother was eaten by her and is still alive. I bet he think he's in a cave."

"What?" asked Naruto.

"Never mind." Said Kyubi.

The fight stopped for a second, but not before Wyper turned his attention on Zoro. The two fought with Wyper complaining about how the Blue Sea People shouldn't be involved in it while Zoro basically told him to shut up.

That was when the giant snake tried to bite them, fortunately the two dodged. Zoro did see the when the snake bit into some ruins, the ruins began to melt.

"It's poison is very strong." Muttered Gaara.

Chopper was panicking.

"You should go hide if you're scared." Said Gaara.

"Why aren't you fighting?" asked Chopper.

Gaara took a breath, "I don't think it's a good idea right now." Muttered Gaara.

Chopper stared at Gaara with a sweat drop.

Naruto on the other hand continued to look at Ohm that was when Holy took a seat next to Naruto.

"You're worried about him, aren't you?" asked Naruto.

Holy seemingly gave a nod.

"What am I going to do?" thought Naruto.

That was when he got the idea.

"Hey! How much do you like fighting!" called out Naruto.

"Life has little meaning…" said Ohm.

Naruto sighed, this was going to be tough.

Elsewhere, with Robin's group, she was digging though the island cloud, while Kakashi and Sakura helped by moving the island cloud from the hole.

That was when Robin cut on through to the other side.

"You found something?" asked Kakashi.

Robin nodded, she jumped through the hole, with Kakashi and Sakura following her, not sure what to do.

Back with Chopper and Gaara… the two watched the fighting.

"If you want to, you should go hide." Said Gaara.

Chopper nodded and ran to find a hiding spot.

Gaara then got a bad feeling, like Chopper was in danger, and it wasn't because of the fight.

Zoro continued to fight Wyper, Zoro tried his best to avoid the bazooka.

"Are you okay?" asked Gan Fall.

"I'm fine!" yelled Zoro, "I can take him on!"

"Not that I care, but why are you defending him?" asked Wyper.

"Because it's my duty as the sky knight." Said Gan Fall.

Wyper narrowed his eyes at him and shot his bazooka at them. They of course dodged.

With Naruto, he was working on his plan to fix Kyubi's problem.

"All right! How much did you love fighting?" asked Naruto trying the same line again.

However this time it seemed to work…

"Not very much it was mainly for smiting." Said Ohm.

"At least you finally got to him." Said Kyubi.

"Is there some sort of hobby you have?" asked Naruto.

"Except for animal training. Nothing." Said Ohm.

"Have you tried gardening? Writing? Whittling?" asked Naruto.

"Whittling?" asked Kyubi.

"Don't ask me where that one came from." thought Naruto.

"There's nothing to life though." Said Ohm, that's when he remembered something, "God Eneru's Survival Game!"

Ohm got up, "I can't die with the game going on!" yelled Ohm, "I must fight my way in order to serve Eneru. I'm the last of his priests."

"Looks like he's no longer depressed." Said Naruto with a sweat drop.

"IF I lose and I live I will find a new way, if I win then I will find a new way to serve God Eneru!" yelled out Ohm, "And I thank you strange boy, for giving me new enlightenment."

"Your welcome?" asked Naruto confused.

"I will let you live and hope you will be one of the 4 other survivors." Said Ohm.

"That doesn't sound good." said Kyubi.

"Yeah." Agreed Naruto.

"Let's go Holy!" shouted Ohm with his new vigor on life.

Holy barked then licked Naruto, it seemed like Holy hated the rather bizarre behavior of his owner.

"I think we made things worse by avoiding that fight." Said Kyubi.

"We won't know yet." Said Naruto.

"Yeah… well I guess we just sit back and watch." Said Kyubi.

Naruto nodded an sighed, he should have never listened to Kyubi on that one, even if he did avoid the fight.

With Gaara he just watched the fight, that was when he heard a scream, it was Chopper's. Naruto ran to where he heard the scream as well. They both saw a strange barbwire like cloud and Chopper laying there injured.

"What happened to him?" asked Naruto.

That was when Gaara saw something and stepped on the thing, that was when the same type of barbed wire like cloud came shooting at him, fortunately the sand protected him.

"There are switched everywhere." Said Gaara.

Naruto nodded, that was when Zoro joined them.

That was when Ohm attacked Zoro, Zoro dodged, and Gaara and Naruto stared at Ohm's sward, it was pure white and seemed to made of clouds.

"That sword is a very dangerous weapon." Said Kyubi, "Be thankful that that you didn't fight him…"

Naruto couldn't help to nod that one.

With Robin, Kakashi and Sakura, they made their way through the ruins they were in. That was when Robin saw a light.

"That way, right?" asked Kakashi.

Robin nodded and the group headed that. They went down the hall. When they got to the end Robin almost fell off the ledge that the tunnel ended on, but Kakashi caught her.

"You of all people should know that you should take look before you leap." Said Kakashi.

Robin blushed slightly.

"Is there something going on between them?" thought Sakura.

Robin looked at her, "Please don't be thinking about that." Said Robin.

Sakura laughed when she said that.

Robin turned towards the ruins of the city and gasped. It was indeed the ruins they were looking for, not only that but they were the ruins she was looking for… possibly the ruins she were looking for most of her life. The ruins that contained the Rio Ponegliff, the secret of True History.

Next Time: The fight continuities and thanks to the fact that Ohm has joined the fray, things have gotten a lot worse. Wait! What are Nami and Aisa doing there? Uh-oh... oh god no! At least Luffy will finally learn that he's not in a cave...
