This ability was unforeseen. We must get them away from him before they are all wiped out. Current calculations indicate that each of these nightmarish clones are of the same strength as the prime Naruto's Nine-tailed chakra mode. They do not stand any chance of victory.
It is agreed. The foolish actions of one of them has alerted it to their presence before any strategy could be developed. They must be brought back to the sanctuary. However, due to their contact with the beast we have managed to gain an update on it's abilities and strength. Although we now have updated information there are still no discernible vulnerabilities that can be exploited.
Wait. There was a momentary change in behavior when they arrived. The creature had the opportunity to destroy that world's version of Naruto but hesitation was detected. What caused the hesitation is unknown.
What occurred at that time that could have caused it?
Perhaps the arrival of the other Narutos? It is possible that it confused him for a moment.
No. He saw the other Narutos shortly after this unusual display. What else may have happened?
Summoning of Gamabunta. Although it is unlikely. He has fought and defeated numerous versions of Gamabunta before. It must be something else.
Wait...A woman was detected fleeing that worlds version of the Hidden Leaf Village. She had two infants with her. Is it possible it was the children that caused him to stop?
Unlikely. He has destroyed entire worlds before. Wait...identify the woman, perhaps she had something to do with it.
Subject has been identified. It was their world's Hinata Hyuga. This makes no sense. He has destroyed so many worlds with her in them. He did have an emotional attachment to his world's Hinata, is it possible that somehow some of his mind yet survives?
It does make some small amount of sense. It's possible that while he attacked the other worlds he never caught sight of her while he attacked. This is a possible weakness that we can exploit. We must begin searching for worlds fitting the criteria that his once had. Begin searching.
Are we truly going to do this? Try and find a version of the Hyuga girl and send her there. For all we know he may simply destroy her. Can you truly live with her blood on her hands?
I...I...had my chance and I lost her due to my own stupidity and arrogance. Her blood is already on my hands.
Very well.
The two while cloaked beings concentrated for a brief moment and then looked at each other. Although their faces were still obscured by their masks, it seemed as if they were concerned.
We cannot pull them back. Somehow being close to the creature is disrupting our jutsu. They must retreat away from it if we are to successfully get them to safety
Outside Konoha Village
The outside of the ruined version of Konoha had become a battleground. The demonic clones that had been created were still smiling their empty smiles as they battled it out with the army of alternate Narutos. The Narutos were fighting their best and a few of them had somehow managed to get the upper hand against the nightmarish clones but the majority of them were quickly losing ground.
"Why isn't my summoning jutsu working?!" The Naruto with violet eyes shouted out as he ducked under a kunai from one of the clones.
"It must be something about this world! It kinda makes sense, there's only one Gamabunta here so that means only one of them can be summoned and he's already been summoned!" The Naruto who had led the charge against the clones shouted back.
A sudden shout of pain filled the air as one of the Narutos was cracked across the head by two of the nightmare clones and slammed into a ruined section of the wall.
"We can't keep this up! There's too many of them and not enough of us. There's five of these things for everyone of us! We can't match their strength, we need to fall back and come up with a strategy!"
The Naruto who had led them into battle nodded in agreement as a massive shadow appeared over the battling forces.
"Get out of here!" Shouted a familiar voice from atop a very familiar Toad chief. "You've given me enough time to do what needs to be done! Get away from here before the summoning is complete!"
Summoning? What's he doing?
Gamabunta looked down sorrowfully at the assembled combatants. What he said next astonished the Narutos who were able to hear the toad chief's voice. "Tell the Guardians that this should have been taken care of years ago! Let them know that it's their fault that this is happening!"
He knew?! How does he know about them?
A distant fire started and the figure who was standing on the Toad chief's head was finally illuminated. It was identical to Narutos except for the fact that it was older, and covered in old scars. The older Naruto's face had tears running down it but his eyes were filled with determination.
"Tell Hinata...that I'm sorry I won't be able to help her raise our kids. And let her know, that she and the kids were the best things that ever happened to me."
The older Naruto made a rapid series of hand signs that were unfamiliar to many of the Narutos. One of them widened his eyes as the realization of what was about to happen hit him.
"Get away! The clones are about to become the least of our problems! Move!"
The army of Narutos looked at each other and than at the clones that were starting to advance on them once again and quickly came to a decision.
They ran away as fast as they could even as a loud booming voice cut through the air.
"Sealing Jutsu: Reaper Death Seal!"
