About 1 week later...
News had gotten around that even stronger bosses had gotten around to the game's public and attacking anyone closeby, there was a signature that those bosses all wore a black with red cloud cloak. However with the data so far gathered, it seemed the 20th boss wasn't able to be battled unless the player has defeated the 19 other bosses first.
'So, it would seem I still have those who will attempt to stop me.' Obito sighed as he looked at the data on players he gathered. 'It seems some people just don't listen, but I have seen that before.' Obito remembers Naruto a bit, as he remembered, Naruto never listened.
'So then. It would seem they need another reason to stop.' Obito thinks. 'I have just the idea.'
Unknown Location, Random Place in the Middle of Nowhere...
"How is he?"
"He's progressing." Itachi replied. "However he's still far from being as strong as he can be. I just gave him the formula for Chidori."
"I see, do you think he'll learn as it quickly?"
"Perhaps. I have not seen anyone else do it within a month, so it's hard to predict." Itachi said.
"Has he gotten a clue yet?"
"No, not yet. He must have more experience to gain the things he needs."
"I see... I will see him next. Okay, Itachi?"
"Yes, that's fine."
Konohagakure...Sword Assault Outburst Home Base
The mad artist bomber Deidara made his way over the village on one of his giant clay birds. He was hired by a mysterious benefactor to bomb the village, but he didn't complain since the ryo he was getting payed was much bigger than he anticipated. "Okay, here we go. Hn." Deidara takes out some of his favorite detonating clay and chews it up using his hand mouths and then drops some spider-like bombs on the village. "AHHH!" Deidara smiles at the yells of the villager NPC's running for their lives.
Kirito stands on the top of the base and sees Deidara from afar, he wasn't going to just let his base be bombed. His screen flashes.
-CAUTION!-
-BOSS BATTLE!-
-Deidara-
The screen flashed red as it said those words. Kirito activates his Sharingan and eyes Deidara in the sky aiming his attack at him. "Fire Style, Fireball Jutsu!" Kirito unleashes the flames into the sky at Deidara, however the bird Deidara was riding on dodges with ease. "Huh? So, some guy's going to try and take me down?" Deidara said and looked at Kirito. 'What?...The Sharingan...this guy is going down...' Deidara mumbles bitterly in his mind. Deidara grabs some more clay from his pouches and then throws them as birds that shot at Kirito.
Kirito takes out his blade and slashes the first two birds that hit his sword, but the next one explodes in his face. Kirito falls back from the explosion that sent him tumbling downwards. 'That was close.' Kirito sighs as his health bar went from 100% to 94%. 'He's good. And that red cloud cloak, he must be one of the stronger bosses.' Kirito thinks in his head. 'Not to mention while he's in the sky I can't attack him using my sword, damn, if only I had the ability to fly like in Alfheim. I can't use that many fire jutsu before I run out of chakra, so this is going to be difficult. My only hope, might be that I can use Chidori, but I have to lure him closer in order to do so...'
"Kirito, we're behind you." Sinon and Asuna get behind him for backup. Riaru takes his position on a building waiting for Deidara to fly by. "Okay!" Riaru jumps out at Deidara wielding his truth saber and slashes at him. Deidara's bird dodges again with ease with the mad bomber throwing two birds at Riaru, making two direct hits on him as Riaru crashes into the ground. "Oh no!" Asuna yells out. "Go and help him." Kirito says. Asuna was hesitant until Kirito said again. "Now!" Asuna jumps over to help Riaru.
"Sinon, do you have any data on him?" Kirito asks.
Sinon scrolls through her manual on the bosses of the game. "No. I don't have data on those wearing the red cloud cloaks." Kirito glares back at Deidara when he launches two more birds at Kirito and Sinon. Sinon goes in front of Kirito and uses her rotational technique to block the two birds, however they then explode sending Sinon into the wall behind her. "Sinon!" Kirito yells out in concern.
"Look out!" Sinon warns making Kirito turn around to see another bird heading towards him fast. Kirito jumps backwards avoiding a third bird explosive. 'That was close.' Kirito's health bar went to 85%. It was obvious he wasn't high enough leveled to take on such a powerful boss.
'So ... let's see how you do ... Kirito...'
"This guy is too strong, leave him to me." Kirito remarked to Sinon. "Get everyone else and get to the shelter." Kirito said, he was serious here. "But, you'll be killed." Sinon mentioned. "It's better me than all of us." Sinon sighed, but she was worried. Still she had faith in Kirito. "Okay." Sinon goes to do just that.
Kirito takes his katana off his back. 'Let's get his attention first.' Kirito runs along the buildings jumping from building to building and running along the sides of the walls using chakra control. Deidara notices him running by and chases him. "You can't escape from me!" Deidara unleashes five birds at Kirito which explode at the buildings that Kirito leaps off of. 'Can't let him hit me.' Kirito thinks to himself as another bird explodes behind him.
He jumps off another building. "Fire Style, Phoenix Flower Jutsu!" He unleashes fire-covered shuriken at Deidara. "HA!" Deidara throws a cluster of spiders at the shurikens which explode on contact destroying the attack easily. The remaining spiders also shower at Kirito. Kirito runs quickly to avoid the incoming explosions. "HA!" Deidara throws another explosion right in front of Kirito catching him in the front and in the back. Deidara jumps off his bird and lets it crash into Kirito and explode.
"Hm.. That was too easy." Deidara chuckled in delight. He enjoyed the murder of players so much, especially by his bombs. Suddenly a log flies out from Kirito's position and the real one appears just behind Deidara with his sword wielded. "AHHH! HA!" Kirito stabs Deidara in the chest. 'Got him!' Deidara's body turns white and it explodes sending Kirito tumbling backwards. "Substitution jutsu huh? You're not half bad." Deidara remarks. "I guess then I'll have to use a bigger piece of art. How about?" Deidara takes out his sculpture that puffs in smoke appearing as a giant white C-2 Dragon.
The dragon takes flight into the sky. 'What is this?' Kirito asks himself as he gazed in awe of the dragon towering above him.
"Now then." Deidara makes a hand sign making the dragon unleash a clay missile from its mouth at Kirito. Kirito drops and rolls to avoid the missile, however it redirected around and continued to chase Kirito. 'What?' The missile explodes barely missing Kirito. His health bar went down to 72%. 'That wasn't regular bomb. It was a missile, and I think that guy's guiding it. If I get hit, it won't be good... I need a plan. Hmm...' Kirito narrows his eyes on the buildings around him. Kirito begins running, jumping from building to building.
"Ha! You can't escape from me that easily. Blow him to bits!" Deidara makes the same hand sign and fires another missile at Kirito. Kirito quickly runs around the buildings, he turns the corner and the missile as he expected follows him. Kirito makes his way through the buildings. "You can't run!" Deidara sends the missile at him throughout the buildings chasing him. "Okay!" Kirito uses chakra on his feet and the speed he already gathered to catapult himself into the sky at Deidara.
"You're mine!" Kirito takes out his sword and is about to slash at Deidara on his dragon. "Oh? You're dead!" Kirito's eyes bulged as the missile was too close to him to dodge. Deidara smirks happily as the missile explodes with Kirito caught in the explosion.
Kirito slashes Deidara from behind with his sword. Deidara just notices it at the last second jumps to another area of his dragon. 'Of course ... that was a clone ... he must have switched himself with it when he turned the corner. Not bad kid...uh...' Deidara throws three birds at Kirito. Kirito jumps to the wing of the dragon and jumps away at the last minute allowing the bombs to hit the wing. 'NO!' The wing of the dragon collapses and it starts to go down. "Fine." Deidara throws out another bird and he rides away on it. "Good luck. HA!" As Deidara flies away the entire dragon starts lighting up and explodes with Kirito on it.
"Sublime..." Deidara mumbles as Kirito exploded.
"Huh?" Deidara felt like something was looking at him. Something odd, like the Sharingan was looking at him. "What?" Deidara just barely avoids some shuriken thrown at him from Kirito. 'That was, genjutsu. Heh, I didn't think a kid like that could perform such high-leveled genjutsu.'
It was when Kirito looked at Deidara when he got onto the dragon that his genjutsu was activated. He jumped off early and landed safely on a nearby building while the genjutsu made Deidara think he was still on the dragon. 'Damn him...it's those same eyes...' Deidara mumbled. 'Same eyes...same eyes...I won't lose to the guy like this!'
'Itachi...I'll kill you after I kill this guy!' Deidara takes out a little present he made. "Let's see how you like this. This time I won't attack you. I'll attack." Deidara looked towards the base. "THAT!" Deidara's bird flew towards it. "Let's see how you like my C-3! HA!" Deidara throws the C-3 bomb and it expands in a puff of smoke heading towards the base. "NO!" Kirito eyes it, he wouldn't be able to get there in time, let alone stop it.
Suddenly another blast comes in. "RASENGAN!" Kirito looks in surprise as the bomb was completely shattered. "CHIDORI!" Another person flashes right through the bomb and it falls to the ground deactivated. "Huh?" Kirito looks at the two people who helped him. A boy, probably no older than he is, he had spiky blond hair and wore an orange jacket and pants with black highlights. The Konoha symbol on his headband worn around his head. The other, another male about his age. He had jet black hair and he wore a white overcoat with a red and white fan on the back as well as a purple rope around his waist. Sasuke rams a Chidori blade through Deidara.
"Huh?" Kirito gasped. "Go!" Naruto jumps at Deidara. 'Who were those guys?' Deidara angrily throws three birds at the two who dodge the attacks easily. Sasuke teleports behind Deidara with ease and rams a chidori through his back.
"NOW!" Kirito nods as he jumps as high as he could and generates his own Chidori. "CHIDORI!" That was all he needed to take Deidara's head off, and the rest of his body shattered into crystals. Kirito lands he sighs with the battle. If it wasn't for them, he would have lost his base. Kirito looks to thank the two, but they were gone the moment he turned around. "Huh?" Kirito didn't even get a chance to see their profiles, or if they were even players at all.
"Most disappointing." Kirito heard a strange voice from afar, it was deep and sounded like it might be from a god. He turned to see another person in the distance standing on a building. He was an adult sized man. He wore a spirally orange mask with only one hole near his right eye. He wore a black cloak with a hood over his head covering his hair and he had a black ninja outfit, like the type assassins used.
"Who are you?" Kirito asked glaring at him, from his bar, he was another player. Kirito accesses the nearby players menu, however he couldn't see the man's signature on his menu.
"I am most disappointed with your performance. I thought you would be tougher, you could never complete this game with that level of pathetic power." The man spoke.
"Pathetic?" Kirito said insulted by the man's words.
"Yes... You are nowhere strong enough because you lack something." The man said again. "Do you understand?"
Kirito narrowed his eyes on the man. "So what do I have to do? Why am I not strong enough?"
"That is for you to figure out." The man spoke. Kirito was fuming on the inside, things just got more and more complex. At the worse case now, he now had four unbelievably strong players that were against him.
"Again who are you?" Kirito asked, he had no other response.
"Know this." The man began to speak ignoring Kirito's question. "The true power of a shinobi is unlocked when one overcomes the heart. Know this and remember it forever." The man then lowered his head and intimidated Kirito even though he wasn't even showing his face.
"When overcome this challenge come and face me, Madara Uchiha!" Madara disappeared in a single flash.
