Chapter 3

The Elemental Nations, many years ago

The Will of Fire, a well known philosophy in the village of Konohagakure no Sato. The philosophy that speaks much about comrades and family. The patriotism that all shinobi are strengthened through bonds and fighting for their home. Like a religion it was followed, but like many zealots. The followers choose to follow the teachings of the philosophy and break it's code as an excuse to commit atrocities with no punishment. That so long as they follow a creed, they believe that they can do no wrong.

However, for those who are spiritual and believe in good and evil. For the idea of a god and a devil existing, there will be blessings and curses. For the wrath of a child losing the love of a mother gave the villagers a large curse that would shatter their very way of life.

Naruto looked over the very village that was created by Hashirama Senju himself. Watching the festival of how their leader "defeated" a monster known as the Kyuubi. Pathetic, Naruto thought coldly. No matter what happens, they take part in the credit of a victory as if these slobs had participated in the sacrifice of their common man. This isn't honor, this is the celebration of their pride over the honorable sacrifice of their comrades.

'I do not care for the cause of the attack. Their actions alone, speak far more than the pathetic excuses that the original sinners have made.' Naruto thought as he held an orange mask in the shape of a spiral with a single hole. The dragon sneered, 'He was like the rest of these people. Creating destruction and death for the sake of his own benefit and desire. This one specifically, did it for a dreamland of his own.' he thought as he put the mask away.

Naruto flew away knowing the village would remain weak in his eyes. Pathetic sacks of flesh in his opinion. They would sooner die and discredit the ones they praise than let go of their pride.

It would be the "strongest" village itself that would give birth to the apocalypse.

Today, Ontario Canada

Naruto growled loudly as he opened his eyes. Letting out a sigh, his breath was big enough to create a gust of wind that sent Kurama, Shirou and Brady flying. Which was funny considering all three were sleeping in one large bed that they were sharing. Naruto shook his head as he stretched his legs and wings before crawling out of his cave and transforming into a human.

"Let's go, I had an annoying dream and Mclain likely has a challenge for the brats. Hopefully I can use this as an outlet." Naruto said before hearing a lot of mutterings from his animal sidekicks.

With the challengers

Heather was shaking and glaring at her teammates. Most likely angry with the last challenge's fiasco and the fact she was tortured by one of the subordinates working under Hades. Gecko Moriya was really a sadistic creature that Heather never wanted to see again regardless if she's judged and sent to the underworld once her lifespan ends.

"Hello campers, have a good night?" Chris asked.

Everyone but Heather more or less agreed, "NO!" Heather yelled.

"Good! Because today, you get to try and enjoy another night but in the woods!" Chris said enthusiastically.

"Aren't we doing that now?" Cody asked sounding confused.

"Sort of, but deep in the woods. Without beds or shelter that you can't create yourself." Chris said making everyone groan. "That's right, today all of you will be roughing it." he said before explaining today's challenge.

To summarize, they need to spend a night in the woods and return back to the camp by morning. A very simple challenge, especially when they're being given the tools to put together tents and survive one night in the forest. Yet, knowing most of these teenagers, they'll find a way to make it more complicated and difficult. It also doesn't help that Chris likely had something planted in the forest to make it more dangerous. However, that didn't mean that the Killer Bass should have much difficulty seeing as they won the last challenge.

"Once again, Killer Bass get the flute. Don't lose it, or surrender it. The last part is just my opinion, but it's cool if you want to give it away." Chris said as the Bass denied wanting to do so.

Courtney quickly accepted the flute, "Someone take good care of this." she said as she passed it around her teammates.

Eventually making it end up with Katie and Satie who wanted to take turns. Which does sound good considering they share a brain and won't function without one another. Plus it's double security in a way.

With that aside, Chris lead everyone to the supplies they needed to have packed up. Yet when it came to food and other basics like cleanliness. The teenagers were on their own. Then again it was just a day and luckily they were that generation that came right before the teenagers that are constantly glued to their cellular devices. Once again reminding everyone, that this is the year 2007.

The woods

Everyone carefully looked around as they were afraid that their fellow camper was not anywhere to be seen.

"I'm going to regret asking, but where is Naruto?" Trent asked as most of them sighed or whimpered.

"I don't know, you miss him?" Chris asked.

"No." Trent answered fearfully.

"Good, but if you do. Just just call him or look for a cave." Chris said before laughing. "The latter I don't recommend." he said for obvious reasons.

Everyone shivered before walking into the woods. Hoping that this wouldn't end with a life threatening situation. Though to be fair, aside from the fact they had to jump off of a giant hill. The most dangerous thing they've done so far was deal with Brady's broken mecha suit. That and Owen being chased by a demon in the underworld. At least now he knows that he has to keep his spare change when it's time to move onto the afterlife.

Later, deeper into the woods

Aside from Heather being angry about her failed attempt to embarrass Gwen due to a poor reception that damaged the broadcast. Everyone seemed to be fine as no one really bothered to care about whatever secrets Gwen was hiding. Leaving her to feel a bit better but making Trent a bit suspicious when the writing had described her liking a guitar player.

Moving on, everyone focused on what tasks they needed to complete to make it through tonight.

"Hey guys I can catch us some dinner by fishing." Owen suggested.

"You know how to fish? Perfect!" Heather said feeling grateful that someone has some skill.

"Yeah, I used to go hunting with my grandpa back in the day. So it's one of my skills." Owen laughed before something popped into his head. "Well that and fighting bears. Like this one time, this big one just roared at us so I took grandpa's shotgun and blew a giant hole in it's chest!" he exclaimed.

"You shot a bear?" Leshawna asked.

"Yeah! Of course I did!" Owen claimed before running towards the lake.

"I believe him." Izzy said.

"Of course you do." Gwen said sarcastically.

Many theorized that Izzy might be insane. So someone on her level of mental health likely believed any crazy story that came to mind.

"Ok so that leaves some of pitching together the tents while the rest try to collect firewood and maybe some berries." Cody suggested.

Everyone nodded and worked out who would have which task.

With the Killer Bass

As Geoff stared at Bridgette's beauty, DJ nudged for his friend to try and hit on her. Sadly Geoff was very dense and lacked any form of tact. As any viewer could predict, Geoff did a poor job at flirting with the surfer girl.

"You pitch a tent like a guy." Geoff commented.

"Excuse me?" Bridgette asked trying not to sound offended.

"Uh, I didn't meant that in a bad way. I mean my friend's mom could do the same like any other guy. Hehe, she's pretty hot though." Geoff said as Bridgette left with an annoyed expression on her face.

"Did I do bad bro?" Geoff asked DJ who sighed and shook his head.

"You give bachelor's a bad name homie." DJ said making Geoff realize how bad he did.

Meanwhile Duncan looked around in confusion, "Something wrong?" Courtney asked.

"Where the heck are Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum?" Duncan asked referring to Katie and Satie.

Courtney looked around as well, "I'm sure they're fine. They have each other after all." she said forgetting an important detail.

Later that night, with Katie and Satie

After a brief (way too long) conversation about malls or something. The girls realized that they fell behind and lost track of their team. Now things were looking very hopeless as they were beyond lost.

"Look! A fork in the tree! That's good right?" Satie asked.

Katie shook her head, "No! That's the same fork we planted and we passed it four times already!" she whined as they were hopelessly lost.

Then Satie came up with something, "Katie, do you still have the flute?" she asked.

Katie stared at her best friend in confusion, "I never had it. You had it, remember?" she asked.

Satie looked horrified as she couldn't find the flute and neither did Katie. Leaving them with one option in a situation where the only thing that can grant them salvation is gone.

"KILLER BASS! WHERE ARE YOU!?" the two scream in hopes that their teammates find them.

With the Screaming Gophers

Despite some issues like deciding whether or not some berries were considered poisonous, social issues, cleanliness and the tents falling apart. The only one who seemed to have good fortune was Owen.

"I have returned and I am victorious!" Owen shouts as he reveals the fish he caught.

"You really are something buddy." Cody said praising his teammate.

"Alright!" Izzy yells as she grabs a fish and bites down. Everyone gasped as they heard Izzy make a pain filled sound, "I guess we have to cook it first." she said giving the fish back so it could be heated.

"So that thing about the bear was true?" Leshawna asked.

"Yeah! I can keep telling the story again if you guys want." Owen said sounding excited again.

Heather groaned loudly, "He's clearly lying. Not that it matters anyway!" she said already annoyed of the story.

"Come on Heather, it's a good story. So lighten up." Owen said ignoring the girl's frustration.

"I'm with Heather on this one guys. Mainly because I don't want to here more about animal cruelty anymore." Beth said.

Then Lindsay looked sad, "Poor bear, he didn't mean to sound mean and grouchy and probably try to eat you and your grandpa Owen." she said imagining the bear to be something soft and cuddly.

"You guys do whatever. I need to do some business." Izzy said as she ran into the woods.

Heather groaned again, "Did anyone bother to pack toilet paper?" she asked.

A lot of campers paled, "Wasn't it provided?" Cody asked.

"No, it was not." Gwen said looking scared as she looked through the supplies.

"We could use leaves." Owen said earning some frowns.

No one wanted to end up like Katie and Satie when they got rashes from using poison ivy. Though no one wants to be them at all right now. As they were beyond lost when it came to looking for their team. Especially with how much darker it was getting. Surely a bad time to be exploring the forest.

With the Killer Bass

Things were a bit better with the Bass. As they were all able to get their tent ready and fit in. Though it appeared no one noticed that Katie and Satie had yet to be found. They likely didn't care as they either forgot about the friends or assumed they would find their way back to camp by morning. However, they had forgotten that they ALL need to arrive first to win the challenge.

In the meantime, Bridgette stirred away causing her to wake up DJ, "What's wrong? You need to pee?" he asked.

"Yeah, but I'm kind of afraid." Bridgette said as the darkness and the sounds of animals did scare her.

"Me too." DJ said as he revealed that he's been urinating in a jar.

Sadly, Bridgette believed in cleanliness and decided to use the bathroom within nature itself. Rather than a jar as her organs made it difficult to maneuver urination unlike DJ. Though the problems for the blonde surfer girl had yet to end as a bat appeared out of nowhere and hit her directly in the face. The sudden appearance scared bridgette and made her move around in an erratic way. That her shadow with the bat on her face made her look like a horrifying creature.

Another thing to add, despite Courtney having mentioned being a Counselor in Training multiple times. Clearly she did a poor job as she never told anyone to put out their camp fire. Because it was on by itself and Bridgette tripped causing a piece of stones containing the fire to fly towards the tent. Somehow burning the entire thing to ash but with her teammates somehow remaining in good health. As if the Killer Bass were fireproof or something.

(Warning: I discourage anyone reading this to leave campfires on when camping… or attempt to ignite someone in fire in the beliefs they are incapable of being damaged by flames.)

Yet everyone glared at Bridgette's clumsiness despite the fact they should be concerned with being alive despite the fire having destroyed their shelter. That and the loss of shelter as it looked like rain was about to arrive.

"Sorry!" Bridgette said.

Harold groaned, "Someone hand me or DJ the flute. If teen idol sensation Aqua, is Naruto;s daughter. Maybe Naruto is friends with a carpenter." he said as he stuck his hand out.

"Didn't Katie and Satie have the flute?" Geoff asked.

Everyone immediately looked shocked and started complaining about not knowing where those two are.

With Katie and Satie

The likely dropped the flute somewhere. As the two were being chased by wild animals. Some of them being ridden by Naruto's sidekicks as the girls got too close to their cave hideout and decided to chase the poor girls.

"I hate this!" Katie yelled.

"You think I don't!?" Satie yelled back as tension had started to pit them against each other.

Both unaware of the blond child who was manipulating the world around them with her sketchpad. Giggling as she watched the two girls get chased around the forest.

Back with the Screaming Gophers

The tent was finally finished and appeared big enough for everyone to squeeze into. Kind of a strange situation but it worked. Along with the fact that they had food ready to eat. The Gophers looked good enough to handle the night and prepare to pack up in the morning.

"Hey where's Izzie?" Owen asked noticing that the ginger haired girl had yet to return from using the bathroom.

Leshawna shook her head, "Oh no, crazy girl in the woods is not a good omen." she said thinking Izzy got into trouble.

"Maybe a bear ate her." Heather said.

"I don't think that's a nice thing to joke about." Lindsay said.

"Does it matter? We have a resident bear hunter after all." Heather said joking about Owen who tried to hide his nervous face.

A minute later, they heard rustling in the bushes.

"Finally, what took you so long crazy girl?" Heather asked only to see a bear come out.

Upon hearing the bear growl angrily. Everyone proceeded to put their survival skills to the test. By climbing up a tree and hoping that the bear would get bored and run away. Instead, it stared at the fish that Owen collected earlier.

"Now it wants our food!" Beth exclaimed.

"Heather was right, it's so hungry that it probably ate Izzy!" Lindsay claimed as she now believed Heather's story.

"Then it shouldn't be hungry!" Heather said angrily. Then everyone glared at her, "What? If it ate a human. It shouldn't be hungry anymore!" she said using her logic.

Like getting full, eating enough food adds weight to the body. Regardless of how much nutrients the food produces. For Leshawna had too much weight for the branch to handle. Thus it shattered and dropped her hard onto the ground, right by where the bear was standing.

"It's gonna eat Leshawna!" Owen screamed.

"Do something Owen!" Lindsay yelled.

"Why me!?" Owen asked.

"You said you killed a bear!" Gwen yelled.

"I was kidding!" Owen replied as he confirmed Heather's accusation.

In actuality, there was nothing to worry about. Because the bear didn't show anymore hostility.

"Are you ok?" it asked with a female voice.

"Did a bear just ask me about my health?" Leshawna asked with a surprised face.

The bear reached for it's head and screwed it off. Revealing it was just Izzy playing a prank. Something that annoyed everyone.

"Gotcha!" Izzy said with a laugh.

Everyone climbed down the tree. All of them with mixed feelings as to whether they were angry at Izzy, scared because of the sudden surprise or laughing as they thought Izzy was a good prankster.

"You got us good Izzy!" Owen said forgetting his fears and embarrassment. Before Izzy said anything, another bear appeared, "Who's this? Did you have a partner?" he asked before pulling on the bear's head.

Earning him a loud growl, "That's a real bear!" Gwen yelled as everyone climbed back up the tree.

Once again, it stared at their food, "Someone distract or something!" one of them yelled.

Izzy pulled out a flute, "I can throw this." she said.

"Where did you get that?" Heather asked.

"Found it on the ground. I guess the Killer Bass didn't want it." Izzy answered with her ever present smile.

"Trent can you play it?" Gwen asked only to immediately remember her secret being leaked.

Though no one noticed, "I can read music notes, but it might be tricky." Trent said as he lacked confidence in his skills.

Beth reached out for the instrument, "I can play! I used to be in band class!" she said as Izzy tossed it over.

Everyone gasped and panicked as the crazy girl's throw almost dropped the delicate item. Only for Beth to fall after it and grab it before it hit the ground. Luckily it appeared that Lindsay went after Beth and started hanging onto her. Followed by Cody, Trent and Leshawna with Owen who were still sitting on the tree and holding on to everyone who looked like a barrel of monkeys that would hold each other.

"Play it!" everyone yelled.

Beth quickly adjusted her position and read the notes before playing. A moment later, the saw the lighs of a magic circle in the distance. When a familiar dragon appeared over the night sky. Though it wasn't Naruto who saved them, rather it was someone with a bow who fired an arrow into the sky. Once the arrow reached the heavens, many more came crashing down as the bear immediately ran away in fear of being impaled.

"Yes!" Beth cheered before falling down with everyone who tried to help her. "I'm ok… sort of." she said.

Once everyone recovered, Naruto dropped off the archer and went towards his own direction. The savior was revealed to be a beautiful woman in green clothes, with multi colored hair with ears and a tail.

"Thanks whoever you are!" Owen exclaimed.

"My name is Atalanta, daughter of the one you call the Dragon of the Apocalypse." Atalanta said introducing herself.

"What?" Owen asked.

Everyone took the moment to study Atalanta. Aside from the ears, tail and obvious hair color change. She looks nothing like Azura who also claimed to be Naruto's daughter.

"So you're Aqua's sister?" Lindsay asked.

"Yes, I'm her elder sister but I still loathe the fact her stage name is that of a useless goddess." Atalanta said as she sighed.

"But you don't look anything like her." Cody pointed out.

Atalanta crossed her arms, "We all prefer to be unique except for my second older sister." she answered before sitting down by the fire.

Gwen's Confessional

"Ok so I guess there's that theory. If our apocalypse dragon has more than one kid. At least these two aren't totally insane." Gwen said glad she won't meet another Izzy or someone psychotic.

Lindsay's Confessional

Lindsay squealed with delight, "Ok I don't know how this whole sister thing works, but do you think Atlantis can get me an autograph from Aqua?" she asked having not said Atalanta's name properly.

Cody's Confessional

Cody adjusted his clothes and hair, "So many cute babes. How does stone face make so many cute girls?" he asked referring to Naruto. Then a perverted thought came to mind, "If this babe is that beautiful, I wonder what the mom looks like. Wait, is this one of those multiple wives thing I heard about?" he asked.

Cody giggled at the thought of lots of beautiful women. Thinking how happy he would be with lots of cute girls. Though his dreams ended once he heard a loud slithering sound.

"What the heck was that!?" Cody asked sounding scared.

Back to the camp

Heather let out a yawn, "Well thank you for your usefulness, but I need my beauty sleep. So I'll just skip dinner." she said as Beth followed her.

Then Lindsay whispered into Atalanta's ear, "Do you think your sister can give me her autograph?" she asked.

"Lindsay!" Heather called out.

"Coming! Also, I'd really appreciate it. I'm a big fan." Lindsay said before quickly leaving.

Owen approached the archer and offered her a fish, "You want one? It's the least I can do for you saving us." he said.

"No thank you, I already ate." Atalanta said gently declining the offer.

"So, how's having a dragon for a dad?" Cody asked awkwardly.

"The fact of what he is isn't the concern, but rather who he is." Atalanta said as she sometimes worried for her progenitor.

With Naruto

Lately, Naruto had been feeling stressed and has been letting out steam by briefly leaving the island. Since his dream, he'd been thinking more about his origins and the hate he felt before being taken by the creator. The primordial being who created the world and possibly the universe, some call him God and others such as those on Olympus, refer to him as Chaos. Though that primordial is fairly benevolant, it does have toxic followers that take things too far.

Similar to those of the Yondaime Hokage from his home world.

"Yet he gave me for everything I wanted was against it's foundations of creation." Naruto said as he landed on the ground. "I followed Zeus and his laws and yet I still feel this bitterness after many millennia." he added before walking around.

Eventually finding a small and warm cabin. Naruto tried to avoid it only to sense a young girl open the door.

"Father?" the girl asked.

Naruto sighed and approached the girl, "Good evening, Nunnally." he said greeting the child.

"I sensed one of my siblings. Yet I found you." Nunnally said sounding a bit surprised.

"Someone was in trouble and I left Atalanta to help with a bear attack." Naruto answered before Nunnally smiled and grabbed his hand.

"Come inside, you shouldn't be wondering around on your own." Nunnally said as she pulled him in.

Before Naruto realized it, he was being prompted to sit down on her bed. Naruto could only stay there and feel stiff as the ever presence of human purity surrounded Nunnally. The very essence of innocence would always leak off of the girl despite not being human. While most creatures would often leak miasma and not have the ability to contain it as most humans would feel weak and crumble as if they were struck by the plague.

Nunnally's presence gave people that feeling as if they were outside of the gates of the heavens.

"I thought you would be sleeping by this hour Nunnally." Naruto said.

"I could say the same about you." Nunnally responded with a giggle. Only stop as she looked into her father's eyes, "You are restraining your emotions again father." she said.

"I had a dream about the past, daughter. Even as many centuries have passed. I still remember all the details of my hate and the cause of it." Naruto says as he glares at the trees through the windows.

Nunnally gently reached for her father's hand, "Father, I won't tell you to let it go or act out on your emotions. That would be inconsiderate as I have not shared your experience." she said as she and the rest of her siblings were aware of her adoptive grandmother Lisa.

While kind hearted, Nunnally could not condone violence nor did she have the right to force forgiveness. Nunnally didn't want her parent to forget about the woman who took her in knowing the risks, yet she didn't want her father to forget he still had a family now. Naruto fought for this family by saving his wife from the fate Olympus wanted to cast onto her many years ago.

"But please don't forget, that you have a new home and children who love you." Nunnally said as she moved closer to him.

"I know Nunnally, the difficulty about the past is it shouldn't be forgotten. Otherwise you would forget those who made you are today." Naruto replied.

Nunnally smiled as she moved behind him, "Then maybe now, it's time for another change of appearance." she said as she stroked his silver hair.

"Oh please no." Naruto muttered.

At least it wasn't his eldest offering to do his hair.

The next morning, back at the main camp

Chris grinned as per usual as he saw Naruto hover over them, "Anyone still alive?" he asked jokingly.

"They had it easy, no reason for anyone to come back hurt." Chef commented.

As Chef predicted, no one had died. For the Killer Bass arrived and started cheering as the Screaming Gophers arrived just after they did.

"Are you kidding me!? Not only did that wolf girl abandon us, we lost the challenge!?" Heather asked angrily.

"Not so fast, the Bass are missing two people." Chris pointed out as they got nervous.

"Katie and Satie? They were likely eaten by bears." Courtney said not sounding concerned.

"A darn shame." Duncan said pretending to care.

Owen gasped, "Do you think the bear Atlanta scared away decided to eat Katie and Satie!?" he asked.

"It's "Atalanta" and… probably." Gwen said knowing that the bear was very aggressive.

Luckily as mentioned, Chef was correct with his prediction. No one died because both girls arrived and looked happy to see their teammates.

"Killer Bass! We're alive!" Satie yelled.

"Did we win?" Katie asked.

"Congratulations on being alive girls." Chris said as the two girls hugged each other. The momentous occasion was ruined afterwards, "But sadly, you didn't win. You weren't here together, so that means the Screaming Gophers win!" he announced as the Killer Bass glared at the girls.

"We did win!" Owen exclaimed as he crushed Trent and Cody in a hug.

"Thank you Atalanta! Wherever you are!" Beth shouted as she faced the forest.

"And can you tell your sister to get me that autograph!?" Lindsay yells as she also faces the forest.

As the girls were thanking Atalanta as well as requesting Azura's autograph. Chris was reminding the Killer Bass of the usual routine and telling them to pick someone to eliminate by tonight. Many of the Killer Bass looked at Katie and Satie who looked nervous.

However the Gophers looked like they were about to win prize, "You guys will get an all expense paid trip to… the tuck shop!" He said as everyone cheered and ran.

For those who don't know, a tuck shop is basically a tiny convenience store. Filled with snacks and other small things. Think of it as going to the gas station at an urbarn neighborhood. Except minus the gasoline and the slushees and possibly giant foam cups used to sell sodas for a very cheap price depending on inflation.

That same night, at the bonfire

"As usual, if I call your name. You get a marshmellow. Anyone who doesn't get a marshmallow, is eliminated and will cross the dock of shame and into the boat of losers. Where you can never return and I mean NEVER!" Chris said adding to the tension.

Only nine campers got their marshmallows. Leaving only Katie, Satie and Bridgette as the only ones missing. Yet only two marshmallows were left and one would have to leave the island.

Bridgette was on the chopping block as it was her fault that they lost their shelter. So they had to rely on DJ to hold a giant leaf to keep them dry from the rain that came a while after. At least the large young man found a rabbit that he decided to adopt and name "Bunny" but then again, Katie and Satie got lost in the woods and lost the flute. Subsequently leaving it somewhere that was easy for Izzy to get a hold off while she got her bear costume on.

"The final two marshmallows go to… Bridgette!" Chris said as the surfer caught hers and sighed in relief. "And the final marshmallow goes to… Satie!" Chris announced as Satie didn't catch the marshmallow but proceeded to cry about the game being unfair.

Before they knew it, they were being forced to separate as Katie was placed onto the boat of losers.

"I'll miss you Satie!"

"I'll miss you more Katie!"

"I miss you already!"

"I'll miss you forever! BYE!" Satie cried before she hugged the docks.

As Chris gave his ending titles and jokes about separation. He gave the audience the suspenseful questions they want to have answered which can only be answered by watching the show… obviously. During that, Courtney tried to pry Satie away from the dock as the girl was very hysterical. To the point when Satie was dragged away, she broke off a piece of the dock and cradled it.

"Katie! I miss you!" Satie said continuing to cry.

Back at the bonfire

Satie continued to cry and as everyone on her team tried to cheer her up. The Gophers arrived carrying gelatine on a plate.

"Why are you here? You want to mock us?" Courtney asked sounding angry.

"No, we just wanted to share some extra food." Trent said referring to the tuck shop visit.

However none of the members from the Killer Bass believed him. So Gwen decided to be honest and had faith they would understand. As while Chris lacked any of this trait, Gwen knew the Bass still had some. That trait is called human sympathy.

"Owen farted up our cabins and we need to vent out." Gwen said as everyone nodded.

"Hehe, sorry." Owen said before farting again.

Multiple confessionals

It was mainly a series of all the campers explaining their respective opinions on Owen's farts. Ranging from disgusting to impressive that he caused the cabins to be fumigated.

Back to the show

Before anyone else said anything, the campers turned around to see multiple people carrying a large casket. Followed by someone playing the song "Amazing Grace" on the bagpipes. One person was crying the most.

"We lost them. Three people are in critical condition but this one threw away their life to save them." that person said crying heavily.

"Dude, your farts are like chemical weapons!" Geoff said as he was scared that someone actually died in an attempt to vent out the farts.

Beth decided to change the subject quickly and started offering slices of the gelatin. Starting with Courtney who looked like she was about to have a panic attack.

"No! I mean, no thanks." Courtney said as she watched Beth move onto DJ.

"SNAKE!" DJ screamed as he flipped the dessert away.

"It's fine, just a gummy worm." Cody said picking up the gummy worm that was inside.

DJ sighed in relief, "Sorry, I'm just really scared of snakes." he said.

Suddenly a familiar voice was heard, "I take offense to that." he said sounding slightly peeved.

"AH!" DJ screamed as he jumped away in fear.

Only to see a tall man with pale skin, blue eye, long blond hair and some sort black outfit that revealed a bit of his chest.

"Who the heck are you?" Duncan asked.

"I'm Naruto." he said surprising everyone.

Everyone remained silent as they took in his appearance. More of the fact that he looked slightly less threatening (by like 2%) and seemed a bit mellow.

"What!?" Tyler asked.

"I was minding my own business. Caught up with another one of my daughters and she wanted me to try a new appearance." Naruto explained.

"So that wasn't your real look!?" Duncan asked referring to the silver hair.

"Yes, I always move when I'm on the go. So here I am minding my own business when someone said that they hate snakes." Naruto said towering over DJ who got nervous.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean it! They just… creep me out." DJ admitted.

"I admit, it was the one above who dictated that man and snake would be immortal enemies. Though you should be careful how you phrase things." Naruto said as his earlier statement was a reference to the Garden of Eden.

"Are you made because you're a lizard and snakes are like your cousins?" Owen asked.

"No, my first impression with a snake was a disgusting Michael Jackson impostor." Naruto answered as he referenced Orochimaru.

DJ started shaking, "Creepy pale guys and snakes my worst fears." he said.

"I get what you mean. Chickens creep me out." Tyler said feeling sympathetic for DJ.

Gwen's Confessional

"Ok at this point, everyone was sharing their fears. Beth talked about being covered in bugs, Heather is afraid of sumo wrestlers for some reason and Harold talked about his fear of ninjas. Though, the big question is: what is Naruto afraid of?" Gwen asked though also fearful about asking that question.

Naruto's Confessional

"I fear any harm upon my children… yet should it ever occur. I promise continents will grow in numbers but shrink in sizes." Naruto said threatening to break the countries apart. "Also I did not commit infidelity if you are wondering. Atalanta and Azura have the same mother, my wife is capable of birthing many children over the years." he said hinting as to who he's married to.

Back at the bonfire

Cody spoke next, "Disarming a bomb under a lot pressure." he said.

"If I had to say anything, it would be being buried alive." Gwen said admitting her fears.

"Bad hair cuts." Satie said in between tears.

"I was going to say walking in a land mine in heels, but that's a lot more scarier!" Lindsay whined as she agreed with Satie's fear.

As for Courtney, she closed her eyes and crossed her arms, "I fear nothing." she said when Naruto's tail suddenly hit the ground beside her.

Courtney yelped in fear as she suddenly jumped into Duncan's lap. Duncan and the rest of the campers laughed at Courtney's blatant lie.

"Fear is the concept of your nervous system reacting to the need to survive. There's no such thing as being fearless." Harold explained.

"He's right, so long as humans run from danger to preserve their lives. There will always be fear." Naruto added and with that, everyone decided to go to bed.

The Screaming Gophers hoped that no other interns died in an attempt to combat the nuclear radiation known as Owen's farts.

The next day

As per usual, the campers had awakened and took their seats at the canteen. Where Chef provided their meals while muttering what sort of torture they'll go through. Speaking of the devil, Chris showed up and had his excited face on once again. For he was ready to explain the challenge of the day.

"First up is Heather, so be ready girl. Because… it's SUMO TIME!" Chris yells as Heather spits out her drink at Trent's face.

"What!?" Heather asked.

"Next up, Chef if you will please give Tyler his special treat." Chris said as Chef gave Tyler a chicken shaped meal that was deep fried.

After a long hesitant bite. Tyler ripped off the head only to reveal a living chicken inside that somehow survived the fryer. Tyler screamed in terror as he dropped the chicken and stared at Chris in fear.

Suddenly Lindsay realized something, but at the same time had no idea what was going on.

"How did he know our fears?" She asked curiously.

Gwen groaned, "Because we told them." she said realizing they were still filming the campers.

Staff Confessional

Lupisregina giggled nervously as she held up her camera, "I was told to capture everything… except when I saw Miss Nunnally's cabin." she said. The tanned skinned woman moved closer to the camera to whisper, "I like my life the way it is. So I'd rather not have it end by filming whatever happened in there." she says fearfully.

Back at the canteen

Chris laughed, "Remember, you're on TV so don't be so shy." he said as he began the torture. "But don't worry, I'll explain things on the way. Besides, there's a special surprise for everyone who doesn't pass their challenge." he said.

Naruto stood up as he heard that, "I better go pick her up then." he said.

"Oh yeah, that reminds me. Gophers get the magic flute." Chris said as he placed it on their table.

Harold's Confession

Harold gasp, "I know Azura was nice and supposedly the other girl the Gophers mentioned, but what are the chances this next one is insane?" he asked fearfully.

Cody's Confession

Cody practically looked in love, "I know the big guy is scary, but what if it's another hot girl!? You saw Atalanta and Azura, they were babes and their dad has the emotional personality of a rock! Oh wait, this next one isn't a rock too is she?" he asked.

Lindsay's Confession

Lindsay squealed again, "What if it's another celebrity!? Like another idol! Or a moviestar! Or one of those people who train cute animals!?" she asked.

The challenges

Everyone started their assigned challenges.

Beth jumped into a pool of worms and was meant to stay there for a few minutes. Satie and Lindsay were forced to wear ugly wigs for several hours (Owen briefly stole one to dance around in). Owen and Izzy were forced into going inside of a shabby poorly built plane piloted by Chef. Chef was also meant to dress up as a spider to scare Leshawna who was afraid of spiders. Instead, Naruto used one of his trusty servants.

"Hi!" said a girl with hair that looked like it was tied into buns.

"What's this? You're making me play with a cute made? Leshawna ain't got time for games Chris." Leshawna said as she looked at the host.

"Entoma I know you might not like it, but you need to let Leshawna hug you." Chris said with a chuckle. Entoma stretched out her arms, "Without your mask." he added.

"Mask? What are you… AHHH!" Leshawna screamed as she ran in terror.

For Entoma removed the realistic mask on her face. Revealing that she was some sort of insect creature. The insect girl even proceeded to walk towards Leshawna with her arms towards her.

"Just hug me so we can get this done already!" Entoma whined.

Sadly Leshawna was too scared and kept running. Meanwhile everyone else gagged as they were terrified by Entoma's real face. So to prevent mental scarring, Entoma was censored for the audience. Though this wasn't as pathetic as Harold who was ambushed by ninjas. He tried fighting back with nunchucks only to knock himself out and fall into the toilet.

A while later

Beth managed to handle swimming in the worms. Granting the first point for her team, Heather granted them the second point by facing a sumo wrestler. She did this by curling up like a coward as the wrestler charged at her. Somehow this caused the sumo wrestler to trip over her and bounce all over the forest for a while as the momentum was really his own enemy.

Owen and Izzy also survived their flight with Chef and couldn't be any more grateful to be on solid ground. Though this didn't cure Owen's chronic aerophobia as this would greatly effect him in the future. However it appeared that the Killer Bass had yet to score. Though they were hopeful as Bridgette had to sit still for several hours while alone in the forest. Though she didn't have it as bad as Gwen who was being buried allive.

"Just ten minutes right!? Right!?" Gwen asked fearfully.

"Of course." Trent said trying to comfort the goth.

"Unless we forget." Chris said.

"That is not funny dude!" Trent said berating the host who was burying Gwen while she was inside of a box.

"Way to kill the mood." Chris said as he finished up burying Gwen.

With Naruto

The man now wearing a blond disguise approached a box that was dropped off. Naruto gently took off the lid and gazed at the contents. Inside was a woman who looked as if she was dead. Pale skin, white hair and eyebrows, an elegant black dress and a pair of black low heels.

"This is some sort of bitter irony isn't it?" Naruto asked himself as he was still loathing the dream he had the other day.

Naruto grabbed his pendant and hanged it over the woman's body. Quickly gathering up his mana as it surrounded the body. Functioning as if it were some sort of beacon and it was grabbing someone's attention. Before long, the woman opened her eyes and breathed loudly.

"Boy." the woman said.

"Ma'am." Naruto replied.

The woman grinned, "How many years have we known each other Naruto? When will you call me mother? You did marry my daughter after all. Therefore you are a part of my family." she said.

"Pardon me if I do not wish to call another woman mother." Naruto told her.

"You wound me." she said feigning pain before being gently lifted from the box.

"Let us go Lady Echidna, I'm sure a lot of people have failed their challenges." Naruto said as Echidna took his arm.

"Spare me the titles, if you refuse to call me mother. Call me by name." Echidna said as she grinned as she sensed the suffering in the distance.

Back to the campers

Killer Bass: 0

Screaming Gophers: 4

Cody was assigned to deal with a homemade bomb. One made from garbage and while there is the slight chance that he will not be permanently maimed. It would be a giant explosion that would cover him in garbage. Nonetheless, Cody was fearing for his life as he tried to ask Chris if the bomb was fake.

"It is real, also I'm leaving." Chris said.

"You're leaving me alone with this thing!?" Cody asked.

"Dude, that's a real bomb!" Chris said.

"Wait! Can I use the flute!?" Cody asked as he was the one taking care of it.

"You could but you might earn the ire of your teammates for wasting it on yourself." Chris said as he finally left.

However Cody realized something. While Naruto arrives upon it's call, it also summoned his children. So maybe he could try to reason with them… hopefully without flirting.

Seeing that the timer was going down fast. Cody immediately started to play as fast and as perfectly as he could. Using the basic version of the notes to the best of his ability. Soon enough, he saw the magic circle appear with Naruto arriving with Echidna on his arm.

"Uh hey listen I… is this your wife?" Cody asked as he admired Echidna's beauty.

Echidna giggled, "Oh no dear, you make me sound younger than I am. I am this sweet boy's mother-in-law." she answered as Cody gazed at her beauty.

Though he quickly backed off once Naruto spoke, "This is only her human avatar." Naruto said making Cody realize that maybe Echidna looks much more terrifying.

"Ok… so can you help a guy out?" Cody asked as he pointed to the bomb.

Naruto rolled his eyes as he shoved his fist through the metal and started pulling out the materials used to cause the spark. Along with ripping out the wires to prevent it from exploding.

"Oh thank goodness." Cody said.

"You are very pathetic." Naruto said before kicking the trashcan into Cody's chest.

Making him fly past Bridgette who was wondering what was going on. Nonetheless, Cody technically won his challenge.

More time later

Satie and Lindsay managed to keep the wigs on and were more than happy to have Chef remove them. As well as complimenting their real hairstyles. Before this, DJ managed to touch an infant garden snake and earned the first point for his team. Though falling quickly behind, it appeared that the Killer Bass were far behind.

Screaming Gophers: 6

Killer Bass: 2

Now Duncan had a chance to put away his petty fear of Celine Dion. Well not the actual singer, the cardboard standee used for music stores. Though Chris decided to make it worse on the delinquent by bringing in another one of Naruto's subordinates. A beautiful dark haired woman named Narberal.

"Sweet, I just gotta hug the chick? I mean, there's nothing wrong with that right?" Duncan asked as he ignored Courtney's glare.

"In case you forgot, the last girl was a bug." Geoff said as a reminder of Leshawna's failure.

"He's right, Nabe if you would." Chris said.

Narberal nodded as she suddenly changed her form. Turning into a middle aged brown haired woman in a red dress. This was actually the real appearance of Celion Dion based on various images she studied. Though not as disturbing as Entoma, nobody was ready to meet a doppelganger.

"Ok not cool!" Duncan yelled as he backed away.

"Oh no you don't! Just hug the shapeshifting woman!" Courtney ordered.

Duncan shivered as he saw the woman extend her arms, "Hurry inferior being." Narberal commanded.

Duncan was only frightened by the voice as it was both cold and similar to the same artist who sang the Titanic song. After a lot of hesitation and yelling on Courtney's part. Duncan quickly hugged the doppelgänger for several seconds. This officially helped the team score it's third point.

"You can let go now, inferior creature." Narberal said returning to her true form.

"I think I'll hang on. I like this better." Duncan said before being lifted up and tossed into the ground. "I guess this is how Harold fears." he muttered.

"Care to lower the racism Nabe?" Chris asked.

Narberal ignored that request.

With Trent

Trent was fearing for his life and that fear… were mimes. Yes, the musician was being chased around by a European street clown that lived off of pretending to be other people as well as pretending to function in society by moving around with invincible objects.

"Maybe now is a good time for the flute… wait. Who has the flute?" Trent asked as he continued running from the mime.

Unaware that Gwen's time underground ended and he needed to dig her out. Eventually Trent did escape the mime but only by jumping in the water. Then stopping the mime from following him using logic as a weapon.

"You can't come in! Otherwise you will uh… your make up will wash away!" Trent said as the mime walked away in defeat.

As Trent mentally praised himself for escaping that ordeal. Yet instead of saving his gothic friend, Trent got distracted by Chris controlling a cloud that functioned the same as an RC car. Using it to torture Geoff who stated yesterday night that hail terrified him. So now Chris was chasing him around with the strange contraption.

"I feel like I'm forgetting something." Trent said unable to hear Gwen screaming from underground.

With Naruto again

Once Naruto placed his mother-in-law in the correct place. He found Shirou flying in the sky and landing on his shoulder. The white dragon then started to whisper things only Naruto could understand in his ear.

"I see, the spandex boy gave into his fear of poultry." Naruto murmured as he learned of Tyler's failure. However Shirou wasn't done, "The surfer is about to succeed while the goth is trapped underground. I shall go deal with it." he said as Shirou chuckled before leaving.

"On your way again?" Echidna asked.

"Yes, it seems that everyone is slowly finishing up. One team has fallen far behind and may consider taking the redemption challenge." Naruto answered.

Echidna giggled, "I see, wonder if their pride comes before their true fear." she said as she faced another direction and witnessed a large storm on the other side of the island.

With her distracted, Naruto spread his wings and flew towards the beach. There, he listened closely as he heard the faintest screaming. Naruto walked up to the sand and slammed his hands down before raising them up again to raise the sand. Revealing the see through container where Gwen was panicking.

"Thank god! It's just the apocalypse." Gwen said referring to Naruto who gently ripped off the lid.

"You are not allowed to pass onto the next life." Naruto said as Gwen quickly ran out.

Only to glare at Trent and tackle him on the ground, "You jerk!" she screamed.

"Gwen!? Wait… oh no! I screwed up!" Trent exclaimed as he realized his mistake.

Followed by the goth trying to bash her arms onto his face. Meanwhile Geoff gave up as the cloud was far too persistent. Meaning this was another loss for the Killer Bass.

"I see Pane and Panic left a gift for the host." Naruto said as he watched the cloud fly away.

The final challenge, with Courtney

Despite what Courtney claimed and Naruto confirming Harold's explanation on fear being humanity's self preservation. Chris revealed the footage from last night of Courtney being startled by the sight of the gelatin that Beth offered to her team. Therefore, revealing that gelatin is Courtney's fear and part of her next challenge. Where she had to jump from a diving board that was more or a couple meters in the air.

With the gelatin being contained inside a wooden container similar to a pool. If it wasn't obvious enough, Courtney's challenge was a lot like Beth's challenge. The girl had to dive into the gelatin and swim in it. Doing so, she would score a fifth point for her team.

Sadly, it looked as if a fifth point wouldn't matter due to the current score.

Screaming Gophers: 8

Killer Bass: 4

Regardless of victory, the Screaming Gophers were winning by twice as much. Leaving only Leshawna as the the only loser due to Entoma terrifying her. Though not everyone could blame her considering Entoma had the mental cognition required to function as a human being in society with no care about her appearance.

"Does it matter? I mean the score wouldn't matter." Cody said as he put the score into his calculator.

"Actually Code Meister, there is a redemption challenge if the Bass and Leshawna are willing to take it. If the Bass pass, then I'll triple their points." Chris said earning some excited looks. "If Leshawna wins, same thing. It would be a lot funnier just to make it worse." he said as it would be embarrassing if the score was 24 to 4.

Leshawna shrugged, "What's the challenge Chris? It can't be worse than that bug." she said referring to Entoma.

"It is, firstly I would like to introduce you to someone." Chris said as a magic circle appeared.

Revealing Echidna in all her elegant glory, "Hello little ones." she said with a sickly sweet voice.

Duncan whistled, "Who's the pretty lady?" he asked wondering where all the beauties keep coming from.

"My mother-in-law." Naruto answered as he suddenly appears behind Duncan who jumped away in fear.

"Don't do that!" Duncan yelled with surprise on his face.

"Wait, but she looks so much younger than you." Courtney said in disbelief.

"Oh my a flatterer. Though I wouldn't blame you child. This is only my avatar for I think my body would force you into unconsciousness due to the miasma." Echidna said as her presence right now started to make some of the campers feel sick.

"Anyways, the challenge is really simple. It's just the path that's difficult." Chris started to say. "While Courtney decides whether or not to jump…"

"Not doing it! Redemption it is!" Courtney said making everyone groan at how quick she was to cower.

Chris chuckled, "Ok, I guess that leaves Courtney, Geoff, Harold, and Tyler to attempt the challenge for the Bass. While Leshawna does it for the Gophers." he said.

"Wooh! Leshawna!" everyone cheered as the tanned girl waved to them.

"No way am I giving up? Leshawna going to make things right for her team!" Leshawna said mixing up her point of view when talking.

Then suddenly, Naruto ran to an open area and transformed, "All aboard!" Chris said he gestured for everyone to ride his back.

As every loser hesitantly got on. Chris on the other hand, got onto a helicopter piloted by Chef. However it wasn't the cheap standard two seater chopper. It was something you would see in an action movie as it looked like it was ready to fight its way to escape with how heavy the armor was along with the hidden weapons that were ready to be pulled out.

"I'll explain the challenge on the way!" Chris shouted as he took off.

As everyone left, Lupusregina appeared and connected a television, "You guys should be able to see things from here." she said.

"What is the challenge anyways?" Trent asked.

"They have to bring me tea." Echidna said making everyone sweat drop.

Duncan's confessional

"I hugged Dion when I could have brought this woman some hot leaf juice!?" Duncan asked angrily. "I mean that Nabe lady was a real babe, but grocery shopping would have been a lot easier!" he said continuing his rant.

Then suddenly Duncan stopped as he heard the saxaphone outside. Before he realized it, he heard singing.

"Every night in my dream, I see you, I feel you."

"Nice try, I'm scared of how lifelike that standee was and how weird that Nabe girl made it. I'm not scared of Celine Dion herself!" Duncan said.

Owen and Izzy's Confessional

"I am never going back on a plane but that doesn't mean I trust a tea delivery to be that easy." Owen said.

Izzy nodded, "Hey I might be loco in the old noggin' but my Izzy senses tell me that lady ain't normal. That tea challenge won't be easy." Izzy said.

Owen grimaced, "I almost wanna say that going on a plane again would be easier." as he didn't like Izzy's prediction.

Courtney's Confessional

Courtney scoffed, "I don't care what the challenge is. There's no way Leshawna is beating us. It's four against three!" she said thinking of how easy the challenge is according to her own logic.

At the challenge site

Upon arrival, everyone slided down Naruto's wing as Chris hovered over them, "Ok guys, this will be quick. You just gotta collect some tea!" he said through his loudspeaker on the helicopter.

"TEA!?" everyone screamed.

"Yup haha, there's a special plant that creates the flavor Echidna wants. Except it's not easy, Naruto's father-in-law is there too!" Chris continued as everyone had second thoughts.

"Is he a giant monster or something!?" Tyler shouted.

"A primordial something, just don't bug him when you get the tea. Good luck!" Chris says as he flies away.

"I will be nearby to counter my in-law's miasma." Naruto said as he crawled towards the area where the tea was at.

Geoff bumped his elbow against Harold, "What the heck is masma?" he asked.

"He said miasma, you don't need to hit me so hard." Harold said angry that Geoff hit him. "Also I think miasma is supposed to be this bad feeling you get from the world. For example, if you couldn't smell Owen's farts. Your body still wouldn't like it." he said.

"Bro, that's harsh. So instead of bad smell, we get bad wind?" Geoff asked.

"I guess." Harold answered.

"Naruto and Chris are just trying to intimidate us. Don't let that fool you." Courtney said still denying that the challenge would be difficult.

Leshawna shook her head as she ran off ahead, "You can all talk and walk, but Leshawna is here to redeem herself." she said as she moved past them.

Courtney snorted, "Whatever, I doubt she knows where to find the plant. I used to be a CIT. Plants and other fauna are something I'm good at!" she said thinking she knew where to find the tea leaves.

"Don't get too hasty, you might confuse some of the leaves we need." Harold said.

"Leaves? This is going to be easy! They're everywhere!" Tyler said sounding excited.

"Yeah dude, but like we can't take all the leaves. We have to find the right one." Geoff said as Tyler looked defeated already.

Later

Leshawna started to feel weak as she looked over a small hill, "Either Leshawna really needs to lose some weight or something funky is in the air." she said as the miasma started to take it's toll on her.

Before she realized it, Leshawna noticed what looked like a crimson mist nearby. With a figure larger than Naruto in his Acnologia form standing in the water. What was more terrifying was this creature was more demonic looking and had several snake shaped tentacles moving around. Leshawna already started to pant and sweat as she gazed at the beast. Quickly ducking down as it's green eyes as faced her direction, looking around as if it sensed someone.

By this point, Leshawna already looked like she was about have a heart attack.

Leshawna's Confession

"What the [REDACTED] was that!? The dragon was one thing and I was in too much stress to care at the time, but I never seen something that [REDACTED] scary!" Leshawna said as her eyes were wide, sweat was running down her face and her entire body shaking.

Back to the game

As Leshawna felt cowardly, for a good reason too, she just looked around in hopes that the plant she needed was nearby. That or at least hope she could grab a random plant and hope they wouldn't tell the difference or think it wasn't ripe. Just some form of an excuse to win or at the very least leave as that creature was not going to let Leshawna walk away. Knowing that this was the worst situation she's been in her life.

Meanwhile she noticed the Killer Bass sneaking around. They also appeared to be very frightened and trying to sneak their way around. Most likely also trying to find the plant while staying as close as possible to the monster without disturbing it.

Sadly after a long search, Tyler ruined it by trying to stand on a rock and get good vantage view. This subsequently ended with not only Tyler falling down and almost getting a concussion, but it caused a small avalanche down a hill where several large rocks hit the creature. Causing it to roar in pain as proceeded to turn around and sneer.

"What the heck bro!?" Geoff yelled angrily.

"Forget him! I found it! This looks looks like a rare plant! Just look at the patterns of the leaves and I can practically see fluids leaking!" Courtney said as she ripped out a large plant by the root.

Leshawna did the same with the first plant she saw within a large pile and running. Unaware of how rotten the plant looks as it started to die out.

"Leshawna ain't sticking around! I got lots of years left in this life and I don't wanna spend them being dead!" Leshawna yells as she reaches Naruto who was still in dragon form.

"Run faster!" Tyler yelled.

"It's not about running fast, it's about being faster than the one in dead last!" Harold yelled as Courtney was falling behind.

Courtney became livid, "I'm the one with the plant!" she yelled.

It was no doubt the fault of her wedged sandals that Courtney fell behind. Meanwhile the boys had good footwear to run in. Even Leshawna had an easier time as her own footwear had flat surfaces.

"RAAAGHHH!" the beast roared.

"You just had to cause an avalanche!" Harold yelled angrily.

"I'm sorry ok! I just thought it would be a good view!" Tyler exclaimed in his defense.

"You are lucky Courtney found the right plant!" Geoff yelled as all the teens managed to climb onto Naruto's back in time for him to fly away.

Escaping in time to avoid the large wave of flames that the beast shot at them with.

"What was that thing anyways?" Courtney asked.

"My father-in-law, Typhon. He was visiting because the water felt nice here." Naruto answered as they all sweat dropped.

"Are you telling me we disturbed some old fool that was on vacation?" Leshawna asked.

"Pretty much." Naruto said as he avoided more waves of flames.

While Typhon was annoyed and angry from Tyler giving him a bad headache. He never noticed a giant spark in the sky that was coming down. Only to panic as it was too late. For this spark was a lot more painful than a few rocks and boulders hitting him on the head.

"Milim no!" Typhon screamed.

"Thunder Cross!" yelled a female voice as Typhon was sent crashing into the ocean.

Back with everyone else

"What the heck was that!?" Owen asked.

"I don't know, but I think I'll take a dip in the worms again than look at that." Beth said.

A few moments later, Naruto arrived and the campers who failed earlier came sliding down Naruto's wing. Of course the Killer Bass were already celebrating as they ran to Echidna. Only for Tyler to grab the plant in an attempt to present it.

"Here you go lady!" Tyler said before the plant turned into a giant mouth with sharpened teeth.

Tyler screamed in panic as the plant already bit down on his head. Prompting him to run around and scream as his teammates tried to pry off the plant.

"What is this thing!?" Geoff asked.

"Some sort of Venus Flytrap but on steroids!" Harold answered.

Chris Confessional

"Total Drama Island and it's productions do not condone the use of narcotics such as steroids. Any and all plant life is surely natural and unpredictable. Now please take a moment to hear a word from our attorney." Chris said as he memorized his cue card.

Then his "attorney" appeared in the shape of a baby Salamander with wings, "Roar!" it screamed as it breathed fire towards the camera.

"Haha, you gotta love fireproof cameras." Chris said as the salamander started to fly and gently landed on his head.

Back to the game

"I thought you said this was the right plant Courtney." Harold said.

Courtney sighed, "I guess Typhon or whatever it was called blinded me. You saw how creepy that thing was." she replied.

"AHHH! GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!" Tyler screamed as the plant kept biting his head.

"We will, if you hold still!" Courtney yelled as Tyler kept thrashing around on the ground as the group tried to pry off the plant.

Meanwhile Leshawna nervously presented her plant, "I know it might not look right, but I think it's the fault of that big scary…"

"It's fine." Echidna interrupted.

"Say what?" Leshawna asked.

"It's fine, though it should have stayed longer. No doubt my husband was too lazy to fetch it himself." Echidna said as a gray haired man in a black suit prepared the tea. "Thank you Sebas." she said once a cup was prepared for her.

"Is she really going to drink from that dead plant?" Leshawna asked.

Sebas nodded but maintained a stoic face, "The plant itself functions like a fruit needing to be ripe but Lady Echidna prefers to let it die out a little longer. Sort of like eating raisins." he explained.

"And it is perfect. I grant the victory to the woman who takes no attitude." Echidna announced.

Leshawna started to dance around, "Oh yeah! Victory is Leshawna's!" she said as her entire team cheered at the score changing.

Screaming Gophers: 24

Killer Bass: 4

Echidna giggled as she stood up and tried to dance, "How does she do that? Is it in the hips?" she asked.

Naruto covered his eyes with his wing. Because nobody wants to see their mother-in-law embarrass themselves on television.

Chris laughed at the whole scene, "Wow epic fail, I'll see you guys at the bonfire tonight after Tyler gets that plant off his face." he said.

"IT HURTS!" Tyler screamed again.

Later that night, bonfire

For the fourth official elimination for the Killer Bass. The team individually voted for who to kick off. In other words, who would be more detrimental toward their next challenge. The two that were on the chopping block were Courtney and Tyler.

"Remember guys, it's not a fun thing for me to do. Mainly because I can't shoot you guys out of a cannon or something." Chris said scaring the campers. "Back on topic, one of you guys will be getting a marshmallow while the other leaves on the boat of losers. After that, you can never come back, EVER!" he said reminding them of the stakes yet again.

Courtney could be facing elimination only for refusing to jump and risking her extra point to find the plant for the tea Echidna requested. Only it was the wrong one and tried to devour Tyler.

Tyler on the other hand, couldn't overcome his fear and hold a chicken for three minutes without curling up like a baby. Followed by grabbing Typhon's attention by causing that rockslide. Both good reasons for either camper to be eliminated.

Except Chris would only kick one of them out, "Tyler, hopefully all of your mistakes and pathetic fear is something you can overcome. Frankly, I only suggest this because it's you going home tonight." he said surprising Tyler by throwing the marshmallow towards Courtney.

Tyler left with his head hanging in defeat. As he got on board and the boat sailed away. He noticed a few chickens in cages that were surrounding him.

"You know, this isn't that bad. They're weird and all, but I think they're actually cute." Tyler said happily. Only to notice the various potted plants that were on board with the chickens, "AHHHH!" He screams as his fear of poultry moved onto a fear of plants.

Back on the island

Naruto stared at a younger girl who he tied up like a pig. The girl was glaring at him from her position as she had an apple in her mouth.

"Shouldn't you be in school or something?" Naruto asked her.

The girl spat out the apple, "No I hate school! I'm your oldest daughter, so why do you get to have fun!?" she asked.

Naruto sighed, "What am I going to do with you Milim?" he asked.

Milim looked away with an annoyed expression, "Hopefully something fun like torturing those humans you are fond of. And hopefully not leave me with grandma and grandpa." she said.

"I'll go get Echidna." Naruto said as he stood up and left.

"No! Anyone but her!" Milim yelled as the animals came back and taunted her.

TO BE CONTINUED…

NOTES: Yup, Naruto likes to change outfits every so often. This time he looks like Alucard from Castlevania season 4. So with learning who his in-laws are. You can all come closer to guessing who he's married to. With the same woman having birthed Milim and the other girls and boys you might see next time.

Also for that one comment, Naruto has resistances againt motion sickness but you will see him likely get sick in the future due to someone else's actions.
