Blame the Demons that Raised Me
Chapter Nine: Crusher of Competitors
Ichanged the title because I want 'season 2' to be titled by The Jester/Quaver, since it's the only way I could put that aspect of the Jester in my story.
Special thanks to Forgottenkami for all your suggestions, I want to utilize as many of them as I can because I really like them.
Thanks to the rest of you too for giving this a chance and sticking with it even after the hiatus. Reminder for those who don't know/read the rest of my stories, please just follow/favorite this particular story.
~Third Person~
Noemi activated her sharingan and thanks to the transformation, it appeared that her eyes were as they always were.
"First you attack the hospital, kidnap two genin then attack the hot springs with a forbidden jutsu then attack the Aburame Clan. Who are you and what do you have against the Leaf Village?" Kakashi said as he held a kunai in his hand.
"So many questions, is this some kind of date?" Noemi giggled as she deflected a tossed kunai with the kunai in her left hand then caught it in her right hand, now having a kunai in both hands.
"Stop playing games." Kakashi said as he started a jutsu. Noemi didn't move, but noticed that it was a fire style justu. "Fire style: Fire Ball jutsu." Upon seeing the massive size fireball headed her way, Noemi changed her current hybrid blue ability to the hybrid red ability. As the fireball consumed the trees, Noemi walked out without a scratch on her captivating frame. Kakashi narrowed his eye as his hand reached for his forehead protector.
"Well I'm glad you're not actually thinking of hurting me, my feelings might get hurt." Noemi said innocently yet the cocky undertone was not lost to either of them. Kakashi ran at Noemi and tried to punch her but, she dodged and continued to dodge all of his attempted attacks. "That was a lovely dance shall we do it again?" Noemi said as she gracefully leapt to her right, noting the hybrid minions watching from the undamaged part of the training ground. Noemi, summoned her nearby hybrid minions to help, using a paper bomb as cover.
"Summoning jutsu!" Noemi called out and when the smoke cleared, beside her stood two hybrid reds, two greens and two blues.
"Master look behind you, Minion gates have been activated for you. Now you can summon more minions." Gnarl informed.
"Those things, they're like the ones Naruto has." Kakashi muttered as he eyed the three types of minions.
Noemi looked behind her and rose her hand to the mounds with colored fumes coming out of them. Four hybrid greens, three hybrid reds and two hybrid blues jumped out of their respective gates. Noemi was surrounded by fifteen loyal and fierce minions. Kakashi never dropped his guard, as Noemi knelt down amidst her minions.
"Now boys, I think it's time we dance hm? First, let's spice it up." Noemi said, standing up, as she motioned for the reds to step up. The five reds started throwing fireballs at Kakashi, who easily dodged them and tossed his own kunai at them. The reds took the hits with little to no sign of injury aside from the kunai sticking out of them. "Now that wasn't very nice of you, all we want to do is add some spice to your life." Noemi said as she planted her foot on the ground. With a graceful hand, waving over the hybrid reds, the kunai were pulled out of their bodies.
Noemi enchanted the five kunai and the previous one she picked up earlier to target Kakashi. The kunai flew through the air, forcing Kakashi to pull out another kunai to deflect the stream of kunai coming at him. However, he also had to dodge the relentless horde of fireballs hurled his way. Noemi swept the six greens towards Kakashi. With the aid of the Sweep technique, the hybrid greens snuck up on Kakashi. One they got close enough the hybrid greens lunged at him, stabbing Kakashi in the back with their steal like fingernails. Noemi noticed a red bar just above Kakashi, his health bar. She saw that he had definitely taken damage but he was far from death.
Kakashi forced the greens off of him but was struck in several places by the kunai, prompting a short-pained cry. Noemi eyed the blood that was dripping on the dirt floor.
"Gnarl can the stone be given special properties?" Noemi said quietly and seemingly to herself.
"Hmm I suppose so, why? What do you have in mind?" Gnarl asked with curiosity.
"Just that an elite ninja has elite blood and if I were to dose the rock with it, it would be elite in its own right?"
"Well it couldn't hurt. Good thinking lord, but I have a feeling that may be easier said than done if you're not going to kill him."
"I'm on the fence about that." Noemi watched Kakashi fight off the greens while the kunai in him drilled further into his flesh. "Hmm I wonder if I'm underestimating Kakashi, I wish I actually saw his fight with Zabuza."
"Well no time for lamenting the past master, focus on crushing your opponents of today."
"Right." Noemi said with conviction, then turned her attention to the reds beside her. "Alright boys give it all you got ok?" Noemi said in a demanding tone, getting nods from the reds. As the reds started making hand signs, Noemi called the greens back. The four reds used the fire run technique, which was a fast wall of fire racing across the floor that would surround Kakashi and trap him but, Kakashi was quite fast on his feet despite his injuries. Noemi watched with hawk eyes, noting all of Kakashi's movements.
Noemi made a kunai appear with a paper bomb wrapped around it then pegged a tree just as Kakashi was about to enter the dense trees. The bomb exploded, no doubt forcing Kakashi away from the forest. Noemi's action also made that area the new target for the reds, who unleashed their Phoenix Flower jutsu, sending out a large volley of fireballs.
Noemi, not wanting to wait, waved her hand dismissively over the clouds of smoke, which were quickly lost to the wind. To her surprise there was no sign of Kakashi anywhere, but not enough to presume that he was dead.
In a moment, Noemi was pulled underground, getting punched and kicked before being left with just her head above the ground. Kakashi had a kunai to her neck in no time, he threatened to kill her if the minions didn't back off. The minions looked to their master, who gave them a gentle order to stand down.
"Now you're going to tell me everything you know or I will slit your throat right now." Kakashi stated as he pressed the kunai to Noemi's throat.
"Well I guess you deserve some kind of reward for besting me." Noemi said with a smile. "What do you want to know?"
"Who are you? Why are you attacking the Leaf Village? Why did you kidnap Sasuke and Lee? Who-"
"One at a time please, why am I doing what I'm doing? Simple because I want to, darling. Why did I kidnap those talented young men? Well, I have an apprentice, who told me about those special skills and I just had to see them for myself. Now, there, I believe that's a nice savory reward." Just as Noemi finished her sentence, a horde of kunai launched out of the ground, forcing Kakashi away from his captive. Even then the kunai kept after him never letting up, with the ground around her being severely weakened, Noemi freed herself from her earthy prison.
Noemi smirked as she watched Kakashi try his best to dodge and deflect the kunai. Noemi took calm steps towards the preoccupied Kakashi, having a kunai appear in both of her hands. The mass of kunai attacking Kakashi, fell to the ground after a few moments. The jounin huffed and puffed, exhausted from the seemingly relentless assault.
Noemi ran towards the tired Kakashi, slashing at him with the knives in her hands. Kakashi blocked every one of her attacks, and wasn't shy about being on the offensive side. Noemi jumped over Kakashi and leapt toward her true target. Kakashi had just turned his back when he could feel the heat of a fireball closing in on him. Kakashi was burned to a crisp, his body fell limp on the floor. Noemi stood before the memorial stone and looked back. She saw the burnt body of Kakashi and was shocked that it was so easy until the body exploded in a puff of smoke. A burned log replaced the body of Kakashi, and a smile spread across Noemi's face.
Though her smile didn't last as Gnarl told her that Kakashi was on the move, probably to get assistance. Noemi enchanted the kunai in her hands then tossed them in the air. She watched as the kunai seemed to scan the area before diving toward the forest. Noemi gracefully and almost mockingly twirled on her toes. Her plan was near completion, Kakashi was losing steam no doubt so all she had to do was to get Kakashi closer to the rock and dose it with his blood.
Noemi, hearing the clang of metal on metal, decided that now would be a great time to think of a way to dose the memorial stone with the jounin's blood. Kakashi no doubt was a great fighter, and he was sure to have skills like no other ninja, not to mention information. However, from what happened with Lee, taking one's wisdom causes one to forget a bit of their own and Noemi wasn't keen on feeling like an idiot again.
She believed that it was better to keep Kakashi alive and as a bonus he could still train her. Noemi made a clone of herself and the real Noemi fled to the undamaged forest just behind her as she had used up her last bit of magic on the long enchantment kunai search party.
Clone Noemi slashed the air, having a full amount of mana, it was easy for her to sever the memorial stone from its foundation. The large memorial stone teetered back and forth but the clone used one magical hand to stabilized it. The beautiful clone gathered all of the kunai by waving her free hand over their general direction. The kunai then flew into the woods and moments later Kakashi staggered out, appearing to be a kunai pincushion. Though it was more than just that, every kunai that had pieces Kakashi was also pulling him towards the clone. The clone was still impressed by Kakashi's will as even with a number of very painful wounds and only getting worse, he never appeared to give up.
The clone forced Kakashi to stay still and let the remainder of the kunai to stick it to him before forcing him into the memorial stone. Kakashi cried out in pain as all the kunai in his back went to down to their hilts. The clone released Kakashi, who fell to the stone foundation, quickly bleeding out on the it.
"I can see you still want to do whatever you can to defeat me. So, I'm giving you a choice, how would you like to save the entire Leaf village from my beautiful power?" The clone said as she squatted down in front of Kakashi, who painfully moved his head.
"And how would I do that?"
"I personally have not a quarrel with the Leaf, I'm just uh following orders from my own master. However, I believe if I take you to him he'll be thoroughly impressed. I just need you to comply with a few harmless things and we'll be off and I'll be gone forever."
"Why should I trust you?"
"Because I have you're at death's door and I've already done quite a bit of damage without even trying, do you really want to leave me unsatisfied? Who knows what I'll do then, why I might just go after the Hokage or his beloved grandson."
"Leave the honorable grandson out of this."
"Oh well I will accept a trade, you for him. If you agree to stand down I won't attack the little brat or the Hokage."
"I might even consider your offer if I believed your word held any merit."
"My word? No merit? Are you trying to insult me? I'm trying to be nice darling. However, if this is how you'll be, you can watch as I tear the honorable apart. Limb by limb."
"You can't he's just a child."
"Then make the right call, surrender to me and the grandson will go unharmed."
"If it's to save his life, then yes I surrender."
"Then a deals a deal!" Clone Noemi announced excitedly before she put her hand in Kakashi's face and activated Evil Presence. Kakashi groaned and grunted, fighting the spell but his efforts were futile. The clone stopped not wanting to kill Kakashi, when she did Kakashi pledged his allegiance to the Overlord.
"Good I now have Kakashi as my new teacher and the power of this stone."
"Master, I know it's not my place but the memorial stone doesn't have any special powers, it only holds sentimental importance to honor the fallen ninjas. Other than that, it is just common stone." Kakashi said as he knelt before Noemi.
"You're joking? That's it? I need a powerful Earth based element. This was the only thing I could think of. You have any ideas Kakashi? If you know anything of the earth that is high in chakra speak now." Noemi demanded with her arms crossed.
"Well master does a fallen star count?"
"Uhhh..." Noemi paused for a moment, getting confirmation from Gnarl. "Yes...since they to0 are mostly just stones from space."
"Well a long time ago a star fell and it was rumored to have incredible chakra, where it landed is now called The Star Village. Every nation has tried to take from the small village but none have been successful. I bet you could steal it though, no one can match your strength."
"Well glad you appreciate such talent, you know where it is?" Clone Noemi said before Kakashi informed her of the Village Hidden in the Stars location in the Land of the Bears. After which Noemi told Kakashi to never mention this to anyone and that if anyone questioned him on what happened to tell them that he drove off the assailant. Kakashi was also told to act his typical self and as he left the clone dispersed. The real Noemi emerged from the woods and had her minions leave the scene through their respective gates. With her job done she returned to the Minion Cavern, not caring about the toppled Memorial Stone.
Now in his true form, Naruto took a few moments to gather his strength as he sat on his throne. Gnarl told him that the Chunin Exams would be starting soon. Too eager to wait till later, Naruto created a Noemi clone to retrieve the star. The clone went to fetch Dimmer and was accompanied by Quaver.
With his powers restored as well as his stamina, Naruto headed out but was delayed by Gnarl. Gnarl informed him that he could instead teleport himself if he wished to and Naruto did just that.
Using a portal gate, he appeared just outside the stadium doors. Naruto walked into the stadium where the other finalists were. He was immediately told that he had just made it on time. In a line stood, Shino, Ino, Kankuro Temari Gaara, Neji and then Sasuke. Naruto approached the line, standing between Gaara and Neji.
Naruto noticed that he was getting a glare from Ino, but soon after the realization he ignored her. Looking upward, he saw rows of people observing them. He wasn't sure how he felt about being watched, on one hand he wanted to show off on the other hand he wasn't there for them as much to win and become a Chunin.
They had a new protector, Genma Shiranui, as Hayate Gecko had passed on. Naruto didn't care about that and asked about the people that were watching them. He was told that very powerful people, lords and emperors as well as just other important people, were amongst the crowd. Naruto thought to himself, spotting the Hokage with another person who was also a kage, but he didn't know of which hidden village.
They were shown the order of the fights, Naruto and Neji, Gaara and Sasuke, Temari and Shino, Kankuro and Ino.
When the match were about to begin, all the contestants aside from Neji and Naruto, were told to go to the observation deck. Naruto and Neji were to stand in front of each other, only a foot apart before the match could begin. Naruto looked at Neji, he wanted his Byakugan so that meant that he can't kill him but it didn't mean he couldn't beat him senseless.
"I just know you have something to say."-Neji said as he stood before the ninja in black armor.
"Oh well just that I'm going to beat you mercilessly and become the winner of this whole exam." Naruto stated as fact.
"That's a foolish delusion, your destiny is to lose to me. There's no changing that."
"Lose to you? Have you forgotten what I could do over the last month. Perhaps you need a reminder." Naruto said with a smirk as he lowered one hand to the ground and rose one hand to the sky.
"Perhaps I do." Neji said as he took a few steps back and prepared himself. Genma officially started the match and soon Naruto activated his Demon's Night jutsu. Paper bombs poured into the air as kunai rained down upon the ground. With a paper bomb in one hand and a kunai in the other, Naruto took command of the respective weapons. The weapons flew through the air, aiming to destroy Neji but the Hyuga countered with Rotation. By expelling chakra from every pore on his body and rapidly spinning, Neji was able to repel all of the ninja tools.
Naruto was shocked at the sight, he took a step back as the paper bombs were ripped to shreds and his kunai made useless. Neji came to a stop, brandishing a smirk of his own.
"It appears I'm the first person to survive your Demon's Night Jutsu. See Naruto, you can't fight destiny." Neji stated with pride and cockiness.
"You-you son of a bitch!...Alright I'll admit it, I'm kinda glad you're still alive, if this was that easy wouldn't be all that fun, now would it?" Naruto said as the tools in his hands disappeared and he assumed a battle-ready stance. Naruto also activated his sharingan, knowing that with his tinted lens that no one could see them. Neji became serious as he swiftly approached Naruto, who could see that his fingers had pointed chakra tips.
Naruto deflected the Hyuga's strikes, making sure none of them connected, he was fully aware of the consequences. A part of him felt like this was muscle memory then he remembered that he had all of Lee's taijutsu knowledge and since Lee and Neji were on the same team some of that taijutsu knowledge must have involved Neji. What played a bigger part was his sharingan which let him quickly adapt to Neji's fighting style.
Neji growled as despite his efforts, he couldn't land a blow on Naruto, who has remained on the defensive side. Neji wondered if he would have to use a certain technique that he had discovered in order to win.
The faster ninja kept toying with Neji, checking the flaws in his form to exploit. Naruto stared at Neji as he evaded the blows, frowning at the thought that he can't kill him just yet. Neji was a capable fighter and with the Byakugan, he was too worthy to kill at the moment.
Seeing a golden opportunity, Naruto kneed Neji in the stomach. The young prodigy was shocked at the display but quickly recovered and threw a determined jab at his opponent. Naruto evaded it to make a single shadow clone. The clone went on the right side of Neji as Naruto took the left.
"You really think you can beat me with just one clone?"-Neji said as he glanced from one Naruto to the other.
"I'm going to break you. It'll be fun...for us." Naruto said as he caught Neji's arm when the Hyuga attacked. The clone grabbed Neji's other arm and in sync with the original, gave an enhanced kick the Neji's patella. Neji screamed as his knees bent inward, bone showing, but then coughed blood when he was kneed in the stomach by the pair. "You seem very proud of these arms of yours. Would be awful if something happened to them." Naruto said as he and his clone began crushing the hands in their grip, prompting Neji to shriek in pain. The Narutos got behind Neji, still gripping the ninja's arms, and in a quick movement the Naruto duo drove their elbows into the center of Neji's arms, successfully breaking them.
"So, what was our destiny again? Neji?"-The clone asked rhetorically as he took hold of both of Neji's broken arms and by apply pressure to them, forced the Hyuga to his knees. Neji withheld a pained cry, as he was forced to his knees, his arms broken in several places and dislocated. The clone kept Neji in place by holding his shoulders, forcing him to sit on his busted kneecaps.
Naruto knelt before Neji, who glared at the armored ninja fighting the desire to voice his pain, blood all over his mouth and his arms dangling at his side.
"Neji...I won, I thoroughly kicked your ass. You gonna give up? You don't have working arms or legs, there's not a lot you can do and even less to actually hurt me." Naruto taunted but immediately cut Neji off when he was about to say something. "Hold that thought." Naruto said before he bore his gauntlets into Neji's eyes, making him finally scream out in true agony. The scream grew as Naruto rolled his fingers inside the sockets, having large hidden grin on his face.
The protector was about to say something when Naruto pulled out his thumbs and Neji was allowed to collapse. As medics rushed into the field, Naruto was titled victor of the first round. The applause was in the form of awkward claps from the audience.
As Naruto headed over to the waiting area, he came to a stair case where he ran into Sasuke.
"Only you could do something like that."-Sasuke said as he passed Naruto.
"Hard to tell if that's an insult or not cuz you're right, I'm the only one strong enough to pull of such a performance. I really doubt your match will be half as exciting, try not to die too soon out there." Naruto chuckled, knowing full well that Sasuke with his minimal training would be no match for Gaara.
Before the match could officially begin, Gaara appeared to be talking to himself which worried Kankuro and Temari. When the match officially began, sand erupted from Gaara's gourd that formed a ring of sand around him. It was a disappointing battle for everyone as Sasuke couldn't hurt Gaara in the slightest. The same could not be said for Gaara whose sand sadistically attacked Sasuke. The torment of Sasuke brought a dark grin to Naruto so he was upset when Genama called it as Sasuke was nothing sort of battered and beaten to the brink of life.
Gaara wasn't pleased either at Genma's announcement but obeyed, walking back to the waiting room as he voiced his disappointment of Sasuke. Sasuke was taken to the medical station as the crowd actively voiced and showed their displeasure of the match. The following match of Kankuro and Ino was even more disappointing as Kankuro forfeited the second it was announced.
The fourth match, Temari and Shino, was on and through both ninja fought heir hardest, the crowd's mood wasn't moved. The match was difficult for both ninja with the eventual winner being Temari. The first match of the second round was between Gaara and Naruto, who was eager to fight the sand genin.
Naruto stood before Gaara with Genma just to the side.
"This is going to be fun, you were the only ninja who could give me some trouble." Naruto stated as his hands trembled with excitement.
"Whatever. You talk too much."-Gaara said, easily offending the overlord.
"I do not!"
"I take it you two are ready. Begin!"-Genma said cutting the air between the genin with his hand.
Naruto clenched and unclenched his hands as Gaara's sand spewed from his gourd forming a circle of sand around him.
"Since you were the only one I thought of as a challenge I'll let you go first." Naruto said with a smirk, knowing that he was far ahead of Gaara.
"You're choosing to die so quickly? Come on make this interesting." Gaara said.
"I'm not going to die anytime soon but give it your best shot." Naruto said, activating his sharingan as he looked at the sand approaching him. The sand crawled and wrapped itself around him until he was in a cocoon of it.
"Sand Coffin." Gaara held one hand towards the forming cocoon, his open Pam exposed. He raised his hand and the cocoon was lifted off of the ground. "Sand Burial!" Gaara closed his plan, formed a fist, and the sand cocoon imploded, crushing Naruto with a great deal of force.
Sand rained down from the former cocoon and Naruto did too, though to Gaara's surprise, he was in one piece. Naruto groaned as he was in a pool of sand, his armor was dented and his bones were cracked, especially his legs since they didn't have any armored protection. Naruto remembered feeling this before, when he first got his brown ability and went hectic, the pain was nostalgic. That's what turned Naruto's groan of pain into a light laughter of remembrance as he lay face down in the sand covered dirt.
Using magic enhanced with the blue ability, Naruto made himself move as he started to heal. Naruto let out a small chuckle as he stood up staring at the shocked Gaara. Naruto stepped out of his boots then his chest plate fell to the floor, he now stood in front of his fallen armor with an unseen smile.
"That was the most damaged I've received during this whole exam."
"How are you standing you should be dead!" Gaara exclaimed in a mix of confusion, fear and anger.
"You can't beat me Gaara and since you've put me in such a good mood which believe me is quite rare. I'll show you why you can't beat me." Naruto said as a kunai appeared in his semi-broken hand. Naruto jabbed the kunai in his neck, blood spurting from the wound and trailed down his neck. As he stood there bleeding out Naruto created a clone, which had the hybrid blue ability. The clone, after enchanting itself, took the blade and sliced open Naruto's neck. The blood fell down upon his damaged chest plate, which started to mend, due to it having healing properties of the Executor's Blade. Naruto clasped his neck, the blood mending the damaged gauntlets as well. It was only a few seconds before Naruto collapsed to the floor, his blood pooling with the dirt and sand.
After the clone rubbed some of the pooling blood on the boots and helmet he stood up. The clone stood where he was, using the single kunai to attack Gaara, each attack being blocked by the sand shield.
"So, impressed yet?" The clone said with smugness before he looked at Naruto's slowly fading soul. The clone squatted down Naruto's body then pushed his soul back into his body, a blue wave ran over Naruto's body.
"How 'bout now?" Naruto said as he instantly sat up. His body had no signs of damage, and his arm mended though his leather undergarment had a few tears but that was it.
"Impossible, you can resurrect yourself?"-Gaara
Naruto got to his feet and got in his fighting form, a wide stance with one closed fist in front slightly lowered pointing towards the ground and the other somewhat behind him, with his elbow bent it was pointing towards the sky.
"As you can see I'm basically immortal. Now, I'll show you that I'm all powerful too." Naruto activated the brown ability then ran towards Gaara at full force.
To Gaara's and everyone else's further surprise, Naruto seemed to have completely disappeared. However, Naruto became visible when he struck Gaara in the jaw and proceed to follow it up with close quarter combat. Like he did with Kiba, Naruto relentlessly punched Gaara's torso and uppercutted him to keep him suspended as he slowly walked forward.
With Gaara's sand moving to protect him, Naruto had move to fast as getting caught in it again wouldn't prove his point. The overlord's smirk was wide and unseen as he slid backwards along the dirt floor.
Naruto then launched himself forward, this time punching Gaara out of his protective circle of sand. At this point Gaara's sand armor was visibly cracked around his face but even more so when it came to his clothed torso as it was the victim of Naruto's initial pummeling.
Gaara's sand went to lessen his fall but Gaara was struck again before he could land in it. It was a mighty uppercut and it sent Gaara rocketing through the air. Naruto jumped up unleash a series of kicks upon the sand ninja as they descended. Naruto drove Gaara into the ground with a foot to his stomach. The leaf genin smirked as he leapt off of Gaara, whose sand cushioned the blow.
"So, you got anything else up your sleeves? You better do it now before it's lights out." Naruto said as he crossed his arms, wanting Gaara to make their fight more challenging. Gaara gave no verbal response as he formed a sign with his hands. Instantly his sand formed a strong dome around him, making Naruto lower his arms. "So, is this you running away? Or is there more to this little barrier of yours?" Naruto inquired and Gaara's response was that of a chant of hand signs.
Naruto kept his distance and as he waited Gnarl contacted him to inform him of a disturbance in the forest. It was something big and it wasn't too far off from where Naruto was. Naruto said it was interesting but he was busy with his current match so he couldn't do anything. Understanding the situation, Gnarl stated that a minion group would go investigate. Naruto's response was a word of caution which he voiced quietly.
After thirty seconds of waiting, Naruto warned Gaara that he was losing patience and that he would break his barrier in a matter of time. Luckily for both of them, the wait wasn't that long, the sand dome began to crack before falling to the floor as regular sand. Gaara emerged as a completely different being, the sand had fused with his body to take the appearance of a man sized Shukaku.
"Shukau..."-The fox demon said in a barely interested voice.
"Shukaku? What? That a friend of yours?" Naruto said as he glanced downward at his stomach before bracing himself.
"No. He's just the One Tail beast. The weakest one there is."
"How many are there?"
"Nine idiot."
"Fuck you." Naruto growled out as he leapt away from an attack.
Hmm so he's like me? Probably explains why he's so strong. But let's see just how strong this new form of his is.
In order to get close to Gaara, Naruto had to evade the monstrous sand arms, sand suriken and the monstrous sand tail. With Naruto's speed those obstacles weren't a problem however when he landed a punch it had little effect on the transformed sand genin. Naruto punched the belly of the beast again and again but only dispersed a small amount of the sand from the area of impact.
Naruto groaned to himself in surprise before leaping back, putting much distance between him and his immovable opponent. Naruto stood on the wall, using chakra to keep him there. Naruto ended the brown ability and took the minor pain that came resulted from his offensive style.
"What's wrong? You were so bold and cocky before! Show me your strength so that I may grind it into dust before your very eyes." Gaara boasted with a chuckle as Naruto kept his distance. "You'll never beat me if all you do is run away!"
Naruto glared at the sand genin before he got on his fours, and let his chakra skyrocket. Naruto entered his one tailed form, before he started to walk down the wall. When he reached the bottom, he was in his version two form with four full tails waving back and forth.
"Do you fear death Gaara?" Naruto said as he walked on his fours towards his prey. Gaara roared, launching a sand suriken assault, one that was easily destroyed by a swipe of a chakra claw. Naruto's other chakra claw launched towards Gaara, who blocked with one of his monstrous arms. Naruto's arms flailed around wildly but always hit their mark. Naruto's bombardment though powerful and deadly didn't have his desired effect. Gaara's body was indeed damaged but that was it, Naruto's sharingan could tell that Gaara himself was fine. Naruto growled in anger he knew his attacks only seemed to have scratched the surface, Gaara's sand covered body was already starting to reformed itself.
~Noemi Clone~
Back in the Minion Cavern, before Naruto left for the Chunin Exams, the beautiful clone walked down to the stables, having just been joined by the minion musician and cook, Quaver.
"Salutations my voluptuous master." -Quaver greeted.
"Haven't seen you in a while Quaver."
"Yes, well I've been busy making you the absolutely brilliant attire. If you could come with me, I would love to see what you think of it."
"You made me an outfit? Hmm guess this means I don't have to buy one. Had no idea when I was even gonna do that. Things are pretty none stop."
After telling the stable keeper to prepare Dimmer for a long ride, Noemi followed Quaver to the armory. When Noemi opened up the wardrobe she found a set of fabric clothes that stood out from the full metal suits of armor. The female merely reached towards the new set of garments before it was one her.
She had a black top that showed off her belly, a dark blue long skirt that went down to her knees, fishnet leggings that went down to her ankles, blue sandals, dark red fingerless gloves that extended up to her elbows and to finish the look was a large sleeveless pink coat.
"You look beautiful my lord, I hope it is to your liking."
"Well it's better than nothing. Thanks Quaver but now I have to get going." The finally dressed lordess said as she zipped up the coat to the base of her chest.
"Oh yes, of course but I just remembered, the old man from the armory on the cliff had gift you with a weapon. It should be there. I believe it is called Bako and it can bend stretch and contract. Do tell me how such a strange weapon slaughters when you use it."
Hearing that the clone went to look through the weapons and found Bako. Bako was a black spear with a small triton like top with a fluffy orange coat. There were also straps that the clone used to attach to her back.
When the lordess went to find Dimmer she was told that he waiting for her just outside, having been fitted with a saddle and reigns. She was about to walk out of the Minion Cavern when she was stopped by Gnarl.
"Master so you know, I won't be able to talk to you or see what you're doing. I will be able to communicate with Dimmer as well as follow where he goes but that's all I'm afraid I can do."-Gnarl informed.
"That's fine, I doubt this'll be all that difficult." The clone said as she left the Cavern and found Dimmer nearby. The trip to the Land of Bears was a far one but with Dimmer's help they would be back before the end of the day. Dimmer raced through the foliage as he followed his master's directions. The corrupted unicorn easily jumped over logs and roots, skillfully weaved through the countless trees and left little trace of his presence as he sped through the forest.
Eventually, the two came to a cliff with a large trench in front of it. Dimmer took a few steps closer to the gorge and peered over it, seeing that the trench was filled yellow fog.
"Master, I believe this is poisonous fog. Quite lethal even to your greatest in this state."-Dimmer
"Poison huh? Contact Gnarl see if he can't send some greens our way."
"And if he can't my lord of evil?"
"You're gonna jump as far as you can then I'll use magic to carry us the rest of the way. That should work as long as I don't run out of mana and if I do I'll make a new clone to finish the job."
"How brilliant master. I'm contacting Gnarl now." Dimmer said as he glances upward and remained silent for some time. "He says that a Minion Gate should appear nearby sometime soon." Just as he said it a green Minion portal formed a few inches away.
"Good now let's get started." Noemi called forth five hybrid greens. "Can you guys get down there on your own?" The clone asked receiving a nod as a response. Using the body flicker technique, the hybrid Greens made to the bottom of the trench in no time. They began clearing a portion of the smog in no time. Noemi used the Executioner's Blade to cut the earth around Dimmer then it was an easy measure getting it to fall into the trench. Dimmer reached the bottom without harm and after that Noemi ran down the side of the wall.
Noemi joined her loyal followers, the greens making sure that no smog reached her or Dimmer, and Dimmer waiting for orders with the remonstrance of the boulder at his hooves. Noemi climbed on top of Dimer and was encircled by her minions as she motioned the unicorn forward. The hybrid greens moved without flaw as their master made their way across the trench. When they reached the other side, Noemi decided to carry Dimmer as she walked up the wall. The greens followed suit, scaling up the wall and taking in large quantities of poison as they did so.
When they got to the edge Dimmer was town over the side, and Noemi with her minions crawled over. There they came to a forest with a man-made path running through it. The group walked down the path but it wasn't long before he were intercepted by a member of the Star Village.
"Halt trespasser, what is your business with the Village Hidden in the Stars?"
"Hmph how rude, you don't speak to a beautiful lady such as myself like that."-Noemi said with her arms crossed.
"I'll ask you again what is your business with the Village hidden in the stars?"
"Boys he's being so rude, give him an attitude adjustment." Noemi demanded pointing the star ninja. The greens stood in front of the master and their cheeks began filling with gas.
"Ninja art: Poison Fog." The greens announced in unison before spewing a massive cloud of poison fog. It more than just immersed the star ninja, it devoured the plant life around it.
"Mysterious Peacock: Destroy!" From the poison fog came five purple chakra beams that struck each of the greens. The greens acted fast in the few seconds they had and shifted themselves so the attack wouldn't be fatal.
"Good effort but he was wearing a gas mask, I don't think he'll be dying anytime soon unless you knock it off of him. Now try again ok?" Noemi said getting an eager nod from her wounded greens.
The hybrid greens dislodged themselves from the purple chakra and stormed into the wall of poison. Once inside the haze the greens easily spotted the star ninja, who hasn't moved from his spot. The greens were quick on their feet, making their way around and closer to their target.
The star ninja used his special chakra to fly with Mysterious Peacock: Butterfly. However, the hybrid greens wouldn't let him get away, with their Underground Roots technique, they used the roots from the dying trees to grab the star ninja's legs. Two hybrid greens then ran up the roots to attack the star ninja, though most importantly to take off his mask. The star ninja began to defend himself but the roots started to wrapped around his entire body.
The mask came off, it flew out off the massive storm of poison and was obtained by Noemi. The star ninja began coughing as his body was being ravaged by poison.
With the gas mask on, Noemi created three clones and with their help pushed the poison into the Star village. The recently deceased star ninja had a set of five purple orbs but that wasn't enough for Noemi. She had one of the clones use the forbidden Jumping Parasite justu and was about to steal a bowl sized orb from the young ninja when Dimmer interjected. The clone dispersed as the other Noemis' turned to their pet.
"Master before you kill him I have a suggestion from Gnarl."-Dimmer said as he followed his master.
"And what is it?"-Noemi said as she looked back at her demonic steed.
"Since these ninja have uniquely strong chakra perhaps it would be best to use them for a Chakra Totem, to increase your own chakra my lord. All you must do is use your chakra steeling technique but don't remove the orb instead pile all the victims on a portal gate, the minions at the Cavern will take it from there."
"Alright, can't go wrong with having more chakra." Noemi said, the star ninja was dropped to the floor and was dragged by a green as the evil forces made their way to the Star Village, which was completely immersed in poison.
On their way to the village they were intercepted with a full squad of star ninjas. The first Noemi went on ahead with her greens as her two of clones used Jumping Parasite on the five-man squad. Once inside the Star Village, the Overlord clone saw a few bodies on the floor just outside of houses but not as much as one would like.
Noemi created twenty-five clones, five for each hybrid green and then had each group fan out across the town. The original clone and her two other clones gather the bodies of the currently fallen villagers. Two of the five groups run into trouble, as they are met with possible resistance, however regardless of their efforts the Star ninjas fell victim to the Jumping Parasite. Two other groups were the ones breaking and entering homes looking for potential donations, the houses were looted as well.
The last group found where the chakra enhancing orb was and that it was guarded by young ninjas. While the ninjas fought the clones the hybrid green grabbed the meteorite and rushed off to the original Noemi.
The village was dealt with within an hour all that was left was to pile the chakra exposed bodies on the portal gate which was just outside the village. With each hybrid green carrying one human and the seventeen remains clones carrying two, it took half an hour to complete empty the village. Except for the original all of the clones dispersed. Noemi returned the five hybrid greens to their minion gate and used the portal gate to return herself and Dimmer to the Minion Cavern.
"Gnarl." Noemi said as she saw the minion master standing to her side.
"Yes my lord?"
"What's going on at the Chunin Exams?"
"Your other-self uh real self is fighting that Gaara fellow and things are getting heated. That self of you has also already defeated that Neji fellow, and seeing how he's still alive, I believe that, plans for him are in the making. Also the leaf village is about to be invaded seems like you're not the only one with a bone to pick with this place."
"I can't let that stand if someone else destroys it that means I can't! Where are they? I'll deal with them."
"They are just outside the west border, however perhaps this is just what you need my lord. "
"What do you mean by that?"
"The leaf village is quite powerful and would provide more than just a challenge for you at your current state. This invasion will definitely weaken them so why not let them deal with this then kick them while they're down?"
"Hmph that's some strategy. I'll think it over." Noemi said as she crossed her arms. "Anything else?"
"Well the Brown Hive has been formed and is in the process of being activated. would you like to see it?"
"Sure." Noemi said as a she headed down to the Netherworld portal." Once on the Netherworld, Noemi went to the spawning pits and found the Brown Minion Hive. It was in the style of a curled up fox with an open maw and sharp teeth, it's eyes were cold and menacing with a brown glow. There were also three round openings going down its back.
Noemi was eager to summon the new browns and see what they could do. Noemi summoned five browns, their appearance was similar to the other hybrid minions, they had five fingers more pronounced lips but their build was far more developed. The hybrid browns were the biggest of the hybrid minions, being a full five feet while the others were four feet and five inches. The six foot tall woman was surprised to see the musculature of the new minions but nonetheless excited to see what they could do.
"Alright so what can you guys do?" Noemi said before she took a few steps back. Her minions nodded to here before their faces each other. After a few moments, two minions separates themselves from the other three and began the demonstration. The minion on the right reeled back a closed fist before throwing a punch. The fist expanded several times in size before it connected with the other minion, who was force back.
The left hand minion caught himself and retaliated by running at the other before jumping into the air and spinning around with his foot out. Leaves appeared around the left minion as he traveled through the air before he strongly kicked the other. The right hand minion was lift off of the ground by the force of the kick as the other minion landed on the stone floor of the Netherworld.
The former right hand minion was ganged up on, it was first punched in the jaw which forced he minion to stumble back three steps then the other three minions launched in the air by a kicking it on all sides. The minion is forced upward to meet a summersaulting minion that drops its foot uptown its face, sending that minion down with accelerated force face first.
"How impressive you guys even worked to better than the other minions." Noemi smiled as the minions stood before her. "Though I'm surprised you didn't use ninjutsu. Can you guys use ninjutsu?"
The minions shook their heads causing Noemi to frown and cross her arms. The aim of cheering up their master, the five minions began fighting each other, displaying their taijutsu prowess. Noemi watched her minions for some time watching block, counter and evade before she went upstairs.
When Noemi returned to the throne room she saw a clone of Naruto talking with Gnarl. She approached the two, who quickly caught her presence and turned to face her.
"Whatcha talking about?"-Noemi asked.
"You're not gonna believe this."-The Naruto clone said.
~Naruto~
Naruto dodged Gaara's monstrous sand tail, then leapt backwards. Even with four tails and delivering a pummeling Gaara's Shukaku form was standing strong. Naruto watches keenly, having his shariggan activated, he watched as sand surrounded the transformed sand genin.
"That's it Naruto give me everything you got!"-Gaara shouted, sounding excited and blood thirsty.
"You won't be able to live through it!"-Naruto retorted, unable to keep himself from feel a bit of excitement as well, Gaara was proving to be stronger than he first thought.
Such power must because he had a demon in him too, and their might be seven other people just like them. Naruto thought to himself as he stared at Gaara, who was restoring himself.
The accumulation of sand added to his size, Gaara kept growing and growing until he towered over the building. Just as he roared with dark joy there was an explosion where the Hokages were.
Naruto didn't pay that much mind as he jumped to the center stands, as he reached it he couldn't help but notice that nearly everyone seemed asleep. Naruto just passed it as part of the invasion, of which he was far more concern of how to deal with Gaara. Naruto roared back at the much much larger being before he leapt at it, slashing and clawing but to little avail.
"You're pathetic." Kurama chimed in.
"Am not. He's just larger..." Naruto exclaimed as he landed on the roof of the center viewing building.
"If you think that I'll let you lose to the one tail, that would be a bigger disgrace than being trapped within a brat like you!"
"Well have any suggestions?"
"Release me."
"No."
"Temporally."
"Hell no."
"You need me, you need more power. You need to enter my stage. Then you will give me control of the body, you'll be all safe and cozy slurping your little pansy ramen while I do all the work."
"...I'll kill you."
"Ha! You're gonna have to kill him first." Kurama said through a hearty chuckle. Naruto dodges and evaded Gaara's attacks, he countered with his own but none have then did any lasting damage. "Don't stop now, I think you got sand in his eye."
"Oh fuck you!"
"How long are you going to waste time?You're thejinchuriki of me, the nine tails, the most powerful of them all-!"
"Oh my god fine if it will get you to shut up! There's nothing you can really do to me anyway. How do we do it?"
"Just amass more of my chakra, you'll know when you've reach my stage."
Naruto scowled but he built up the nine tails' chakra, he drew in as much as he could. Naruto erupted in chakra, shaking the very building he was standing on and growing tail after tail. His dense chakra coat turned into fur as he continued to draw in such hateful chakra. The tiled ceiling began cracking under him as his power skyrockets.
Gaara roars in excited bloodlust, wanting Naruto to make his inevitable death interesting. Gaara brought his massively sized arm up then brought it down upon the transforming Naruto. Naruto crashes through the ceiling into the stands of the sleeping people and fighting ninjas. Fur continues to spread over his body as he holds the arm above his head with his feet cracking the ground below them. Naruto snarls as he starts pushing the massive and monstrous arm upwards, not even batting an eye at the destruction around him.
Naruto struggles against the large arm as he stands up, straightening himself as he does so. Gaara brings his other their hand and starts to close his palm, sand appears all around Naruto. It starts to close in but using his Nine tails, Naruto forced the sand to disperse. Naruto uses the small moment of Gaara's shock to slim out from under Gaara's arm.
Naruto runs up Gaara's arm with his face being the last to adapt to his vastly increased power. Kurama growled in enjoyment as he slipped a tail through Naruto's mental barrier and touched his shoulder. The tail wrapped around Naruto's waist before lifting him off of the ground, Naruto watched the fox with skepticism as he continued to draw in power. Naruto felt a rush of chakra throughout his system, the barrier that protected him shrank until it was a bubble around his head.
Naruto's new fox body shuddered and slowed for second before as bodily control was transferred to Kurama. A roar was released and he sped up, easily scaling the arm and avoiding any hazards thrown his way. Kurama reaches Gaara's face and lept into the air, he held out his claws as he grew to a much more comfortable size.
Now, just as massive if not more than an Gaara, Kurama dug his claws into Gaara form and easily toppled the sand monstrosity. With his body in arena, Gaara looked into the eyes, seeing a much darker evil than before.
"You, your eyes...their different..." Gaara said before his face was viscously clawed back and forth. Kurama only stopped when Gaara's face was just a uninteresting mound of sand on the dirt floor of the arena. Gaara's body than began to consume Kurama. The nine tails was encased in a giant sand coffin though from what he knew, Kurama was the least bit worried for his well being.
As the sand closed in, the demon fox formed an exit by unleashing a torrent of flames. The new hole not only provided and exit for the fox but also lessened the power of Gaara's deadly jutsu. Kurama with his enhanced and superior speed escaped the enclosing jutsu using said hole, much to Gaara's distain.
Kurama smirked, not only did he have the sharingan but he also had Lee's speed in his massive form as if it was his own. Naruto having been watching Gaara's matches, with Sasuke and himself. Despite the fact that Gaara only used his Sand Coffin and buria jutsu on Naruto, he knew just how fast it crushed his opponents and could beat that speed. Kurama wasn't a huge fan of magic but having all of Naruto's stolen techniques and attributes on top of his own was a nice perk.
Gaara began reforming himself and when he was fully formed once more, his true human self emerged from Shukaku's forehead. Gaara activated the Play Possum Jutsu, relinquishing control of his very being to Shukaku. Shukaku excitedly announced his revival through he was cut short by Kurama.
"I almost forgot how annoying you were." Kurama said through a sigh.
"Oh well if it isn't my old friend the nine tailed fox, Kkuurrama! Never thought I'd get to take you down so soon."
"As if I'd ever let even the tiniest part of me lose to such a weakling."
"I'll put an end to that big mouth! I'm the strongest one there is! Wind style: Air Bullet." Shukaku sucked a large amount of air, enough that his already large belly expanded to twice its normal size. Shukaku struck his stomach with an arm and a concentrated amount of chakra infused air was blasted towards Kurama.
The fox easily dodged the blast by moving to the left, his tails destoryed part of the stadium's wall. Shukaku took in another deep breath but this time Kurama makes his move, running towards the large raccoon like creature.
Shukaku fired two wind bullets, both of which were evaded before the one tail was struck by a cruel claw. Kurama slashed Shukaku's face then slashed again, he ducked under a swung arm before toppling the sand tanuki. Kurama lept off of Shukaku, having his tails wrapped around the one tail's appendages. Kurama ran forward dragging Shukaku until he came to a sudden stop and hurled Shukaku. Shukau landed with a tumble just stopping within the Leaf's border.
Flatted houses, demolished buildings, just utter destruction of the Leaf was what Kurama saw. He smirked as Shukaku got to his feet, the foolish One Tail and even stupider Naruto wouldn't be able to tell that he was crushing to birds with said birds.
When Shukaku got to his feet he was struck across the face with a large tail, which was a cover for Kurama to wrap two tails around one of his arms. With a strong swipe to the back of the legs, Shukaku was tripped and then pulled by Kurama who smirked as he ran across the village. During a turn Kurama released Shukaku, letting the creature decimate buildings until he came to a stop.
Kurama could see Naruto's excitement and sadistic enjoyment as he just totes with Shukaku. However, despite his cunning plan, he wasn't the only one see the unrelenting destruction of the Hidden Leaf.
"Uh Master, should things continue like this there won't be anything worth salvaging of the Leaf Village. I don't mind either way but you seem to be unsure when it comes to the fate of the Leaf Village." Gnarl informed, forcing Naruto to be a much active viewer.
"Oh hmm good point...well fuck it, go nuts foxy." Naruto said from his mental dome, bringing a massive and sinister smirk to Kurama's maw.
"And here I thought you'd chicken out." Kurama said as his tails swayed independently and carelessly ruining the buildings behind him.
"Well technically I am destroying the hidden Leaf...I'm just using you to do it." Naruto said as he crossed his arms.
"Like you even had a chance without my power."-The fox retorted.
"And what of the invading ninjas my lord?"-Gnarl said bring attention to the eating ninjas.
"Oh hmm I kinda forgot about them, they're just not as exciting. Kill them foxy."
"Do not call me that." Kurama growled out as he watched Shukaku get to his feet and start to attack him.
"What? Foxy? What's wrong with foxy, foxy?"
"I will eat you." Kurama threatened with much malice.
"Oh sure, now why don't you stop stalling and deal with Gaara, oh and the ninjas."
"Little brat, like I'd take orders from you."
"Do it or I'll take back control of my body and do it myself."
Kurama growled but said nothing, prompting Naruto to let out a chuckle as he had the better threat. Kurama easily dodged all of Shukaku's attacks as he made his way back to the Chunin stadium. Kurama turned to face the fighting ninjas and opened his mouth, the demon fox released a torment of flames that scorched the very earth for miles upon miles. Invading ninjas, Wind and Sound, and defending ninjas, Leaf, were burned to ashes within seconds along with building and trees.
Kurama quickly closed his mouth and jumped up to evade a wind bullet. Kurama now turned his full attention to the one tail, and his eyes locked onto the passed out Gaara on his forehead. Kurama smirked as he took note of Shukaku's weak spot.
~Naruto Clone~
The self-enchanted clone rubbed Naruto's freshly spilled blood on to the chakra armor before standing up. The clone used magic to make a kunai repeatedly attack Gaara, though his sand shield protected him. The clone squatted down by Naruto and revived him. Naruto sat up with a smirk and rhetorically asked if Gaara was impressed.
"Impossible, you can revive yourself?" Gaara asked in surprised fear.
"Yeah I'm basically immortal and now I'll show you that I'm all powerful too." As Naruto launched a devastating and impressive assault upon Gaara, the clone moved away from the scene noting that the proctor Genma was keeping a periodic eye on him. The clone stayed far off to the side, staying in the shady trees as Naruto battled it out with Gaara. Things got heated once Gaara transformed which prompted Naruto to enter his Version2 form. The clone waited patiently looking for the right opening, not to attack Gaara that was necessary, he was waiting for the right time to obtain Neji. Unable to change the hybrid blue ability he was given, the clone had to be smart since the ability weakened his physical attributes more so than the original blue ability.
The clone found his opening when Gaara became gigantic, at that time an explosion went off in the Hokage's viewpoint. It was obvious to the clone that no one would be looking anywhere near him after those two bombshells were dropped. The Naruto clone ran from the shadows and into the infirmary, Genma had fled the grounds from fear of being stepped on so the clone was home free.
When Gaara was toppled over, the clone just entered through the infirmary door way. The clone transformed himself into Noemi, just for safety measures as he walked further into the healing center. The clone came across Sasuke and Neji, who were in a recovery beds. The clone approached but was soon met with a nurse, the ruckus just outside prompted her to check on the patients.
"Oh, hello there, are those two going to be alright?" The transformed clone asked innocently to the suspicious nurse, who was eyeing her up and down.
"Hopefully so, what is going on out there anyway?" The nurse asked.
"The fight between Naruto and Gaara is getting real good, but are they going to make a full recovery?" Noemi did as she approached the two beds, standing between.
"Yes, with enough time and rest they will be as good as new well I'm afraid Neji will never see again though but we've put his bones back in pace and done what we can."
"I fear time isn't on their side." The clone said as it brought the nurse closer to it by motioning its hand. The nurse was then forced to the ceiling and covered with paper bombs, enough to keep her pinned on their own. The clone then looked to Neji and put him over its shoulder.
"And what are going to do with that?"- A voice with confidence asked, prompting the clone to turn around.
"Haven't you seen those monsters outside? I wanted to make sure these injured fighters were alright-" The clone said sweetly as it looked at the ninja clad in a black robe and a white mask with four red lines.
"Looks to me like you're kidnapping him."
"Hmm well I might be a bit worried if you were actually Anbu but I doubt they would come all the way over here when their beloved Hokage is in danger. So, how did you get the mask?"
"Perceptive and beautiful huh? Well then all I need to know is what you plan to do with that one." The masked man turned his head slightly and the clone followed the gaze to Sasuke.
"This might sound a bit unflattering but I was going to leave him here to die." The clone said with a smile and a shrug.
"So, you won't mind if I take him with me then?"
"No, I'll keep your secret as long as you keep mine." The clone giggles as the masked man approached the sleeping Uchiha. "So, I take it you've dealt with the nurses and doctors?"
"Yes, they're under a genjutsu."
"Clever you, I'd say you're handsome but I don't know what you look like."
"Maybe one day you can earn that privilege." The masked man said playfully as he put Sasuke over his shoulder.
"Hmm look at you." The Noemi clone said with enjoyable surprise as she began walking towards the exit.
"So, you've just recently been in the Leaf Village am I right?"
"Mhm and yourself."
"A little longer."
"I see."
"Where were you before you attacked the Leaf?"
"Let's call it, another world." Noemi said as she glanced at the man with a smirk.
"You don't say." There was a moment of silence between them before the clone spoke up.
"So, what are you planning on doing with him?"
"I could ask you the same thing."
"Fair point, guess we both have our secret agendas."
"I know that you have been a busy girl, putting the Leaf Village on high alert could've complicated my plans."
"Hey, a girl's got to do what a girl's got to do. What was your plan anyway? Distract the public just to steal one kid? It has style sure but seems like stealth would've treated you better."
"Well, kidnapping Sasuke wasn't my main focus of the day but I just had this feeling that with two massive monsters using the Leaf Village as their personal battle field, well things won't look the same afterwards. Apperently all the things I've set in motion to bring down the Leaf Village were unnessary but regardless best not to leave things up to chance."
"I suppose asking for the devilish details of your plan would be too much? Just a little morsel for little ol' me?"
"Well it's not like I have a lot of time here but it appears that we're kindred spirits. Should the Leaf survive this attack perhaps we can work together to crush it."
"It'll be a date." The two walked out, the clone noticing that the nurses and doctors appeared to be out cold. When they came to the doorway the two paused and looked at each other.
"So, this is where we part and I never even got your name." The masked man asked as he turned to face the clone.
"Ah ah ah you first, mister."
"Kabuto."
"Noemi." The clone said as it released and instantly enchanted, a number of paper bombs, that went to strategic parts of the facility. The clone and masked Kabuto leapt into the air before the clone activated the paper bombs. The infirmary collapsed within itself as Kabuto turned to the clone on a nearby rooftop. The explosion stirred the two sleeping boys, though neither of the captors were that worried.
"Perhaps we'll meet again." Kabuto said as he jabbed Sasuke's neck, knocking him out cold.
"If you'll ever be so lucky." The clone said with a smirk as it jumped off of the roof.
"Ugh..." Neji groaned as he began to stir.
"Time to sleep." Noemi said as she waved a hand over Neji, using magic to make him fall into a deep sleep. The clone headed for the main stadium doors, where the portal gate was hidden away and where two guards were standing. The guards were looking around and quickly noticed the beautiful clone. Before they could make their move, the clone used the same spell on Neji on the guards, who sheepishly fell to the ground.
The clone glanced over its shoulder to see Kabuto was watching, the clone just smiled back before walking closer to the large doors. Reacting to the clone's magical presence, the portal gate made itself known. The clone smiled brightly as it was unsure if the portal would have activated for anything other than the true Naruto.
The clone stepped on the portal gate and was transported to the Minion Cavern's throne room. There, the clone found Gnarl just to the side of the Cavern Heart, shocked by the sudden arrival.
"Hey remember this one?" The clone said as it turned back into its original form.
"Ah yes he is the one with the Byakugan, I take it you want to take it from him. I'm not too sure if it will work with you being a mere clone." Gnarl said turning away from the heart's pool, where he was watching the real Naruto, to face the clone.
"That's something I'm not sure of either but it doesn't matter for now, so how is the Noemi clone doing?" The clone asked.
"Chakra totems are still being prepared but when they are you will have two chakra totems, the chakra of the children and a few adults were much higher than we thought and they are being made into their own totem."
"Good to know. Now is there any way we can keep tabs on Kabuto? He wasn't just some loser who dropped out of the Chunin exams, he's up to something I don't know what but it sounded like he has it out for the village."
"So, he might have something to do with the invasion."
"Invasion?"
"Yes, I believe I told the real you about the it, now that you're here perhaps you should deal with them, it's more important now since they're actually are attacking the Leaf. I doubt you want them destroying what you want to destroy. Though I suppose they would be easier to control after this attack."
"Hmm well I can't do much against an invasion, the original me is the only one who can probably take them down."
"Lucky for you another you is present, she uhh it's down stairs with the recently formed Brown Hive, I believe that the clone with be up soon. Perhaps we should wait. Let the minions take that carcass off their hands my lord." As Gnarl finished speaking, Neji was taken away by four hybrid minions.
The Naruto clone turned and looked at the Cavern Heart.
"Today was interesting, finally activated all the hives, Kakashi is under my control, gonna get two chakra totems, man being evil is busy work."
"Ah yes the life of a true evil doer is a restless one my lord for there is no rest for such wickedness. And speaking of such wickedness, I have found the meaning for the overlord in the sarcophagus as a spell for resurrections."
"We're gonna resurrect an overlord?"
"I was thinking more on the lines of your immortality."
