Chapter 4 - Intruders
Well, she will say this, she wasn't expecting the future 'Gods of Shinobi's' to be at her house, l seriously, how did they even find the door, let alone get inside, she would have to investigate it herself.
She was now currently looking at Hashirama and Madara, both looking quite cute actually, in their child form as of now.
She was currently sitting on the chair she had in her inventory, which she placed there when she bought it in a nearby village, not a ninja village, but actually a normal sized, normal human village.
We were currently just looking at each other after I asked the question that was on my mind, when I spotted them on my minimap ever since I was back home.
"Well?I know boys have a hard time talking to the other gender while in puberty, but is that really a reason to keep quiet," she asked, with a bored tone on it, she needed to see their reactions, while she can sort of make out Hashirama, she couldn't get anything out of the Uchiha.
Almost immediately both of the boys blushed, Hashirama looking like a red Cherry, while the spiky hair guy, had a light pink coloring on his cheeks, this was actually amusing, perhaps she should tease more in the future.
Madara seeing that there wasn't much choice at the moment, along with the information asked wasn't exactly that important he gave it.
" I and Hashirama, we were out exploring to get to the mountain tops, we never actually gone this far before, we made it pretty far up,…until this idiot fell off and broke his arm," he spoke, never once revealing his emotions, his poker face was great since she couldn't make out anything.
Now that he mentioned it, she did notice Hashirama's face tightened when he was forcefully moved, was that arm that caused him pain?
"How about how you got in here, I don't believe I done anything to the mountain for you to investigate the area around my door," she asked her next question, she still didn't know how they ended up here in the first place.
The blocks made sure that other than, someone with incredible strength deciding to just punch a mountain out of nowhere, her removing the blocks that make up her house, or an explosion near the blocks.
"...to be honest, when I fell off, Madara spotted a flower made of squares similar to the monsters that come at night, that was really the first clue, until we spotted a open camouflaged door," Hashirama answered this time around, trying not to move or disturb his hand to much.
It was silent, Erza didn't know what to say, didn't she close the door?,...well she was in a hurry, perhaps she didn't close the door properly, she would have to be more careful next time, at least these two were friendly enough ninjas.
Sighing she threw another spell at them, destroying the cobwebs, it wouldn't harmed them since it doesn't hurt any entities.
Both of them fell on their asses on the floor, Hashirama giving a yelp, when his arm suddenly moved.
Sighing, she got up and stored the chair was sitting at, walking past them, she motioned them to follow her, looking at each other both of the males decided to follow her, seeing no harm.
They made their way down, into the room that was filled with strange liquids, pulling two seats literally out of nowhere to the boys perspective, they sat down.
They watched as she placed three bottles filled with what they assumed was water into the strange device, which then she proceeded to place what looked like red berries into it, along with a glowing orange yellow rod in the middle.
At the moment, nothing really changed, except that it was now boiling, but what really threw them out of the loop was a watermelon that had what looked like pieces of gold in it.
And to their amazement as soon as it was inserted into the thing that was holding the bottles, the water was turning into a bright red color, crimson or something close to it.
She took both of them out of the device, and place them on the table she had in the room, she then grabbed one of them and gave it to Hashirama.
The said boy, looked at the brightly colored bottle and at her, and said, " hehe sorry but I'm not drinking what looked lik…, " he stopped when he saw her give him a evil look, her face covered in shadows and eyes glowing red, looking annoyed.
"Drink already, I did not waste my ingredient that for you to say no, HURRY UP," she said, very much annoyed.
In fear, Hashirama quickly drank the bottle, the liquid itself actually tasted like watermelon, and something he assumes is gold, Madara on the other hand looked amused at his fear of her.
As soon as he finished, he immediately noticed something was going through his hand, his and Madara's eyes widened when he saw it glow.
"I hate owing people, it basically means I'm being tied down to someone to do something for them, and am I correct to assume they are located through the portal," he answered truthfully.
Hashirama nodded, although he didn't agree with the tied down part, but he simply wanted to repay her sooner.
She deadpanned, "the portal quite literally leads to the block version of Hell, do you really want to go there,".
Immediately Hashirama's jaw dropped and Madara's loosened if ever so slightly.
"Wait really, and to think I was considering on going into it,...but really this would probably considered another adventure, although a extreme one," Hashirama said, in a tone of a adventurer.
Madara n odded, he too, wouldn't back down, at least in the future, he could tell his enemies and said to him to go to Hell, that he has already been there and done that.
She looked at them with a look, and sighed knowing humans, especially boys can be extremely stubborn, she gave up.
"Fine, come you would probably need to know everything, about the creatures you would probably meet,".
They nodded and followed her to the Library.
"So let's begin, "Erza spoke, honestly wanted to see if they could keep their promise, to bring back materials she will eventually have to come back for.
They were currently sitting in the dinner, after of course she brought a book filled with the mobs of the world.
"First you will need to learn is that, water doesn't exist there, and any water you bring will automatically evaporate, no matter what you do,
Next, is that when you are in there your mind is constantly keeping your body from causing yourselves to explode, and if you try to sleep it will automatically cause self destruct," she said, in the matter-of-fact-tone.
They both gulped, that didn't sound good, so they had a limited time, since they will eventually have to sleep and drink.
Well this would certainly improve their senses at least, that would be a upside.
She turned the page, "now unto the mobs, which are Magma cubes, Blaze, Ghast, Zombie Pigman, Hell Hounds, and finally Wither Skeletons,
Now the first one, Magma cubes when killed they drop Magma Creams, which would make fire resistance potion, the Blaze give the Blaze Rods which can be used for Both strength and power source, along the line Ghast gives Ghast tears, Zombie Pigman don't actually give me anything but gold, Hell hounds can give me their heads and tongues, Lastly the skeletons gives me their heads,"
She continued, while Hashirama was writing it down and Madara is relying on his memory, "Magma Cubes pretty much look like a Hell version of slimes, and you will only get the items when you slay their smallest versions, Blazes are yellow and orange, and can fly which they also shoot fire balls, you can typically along with the withers find them in the nether fortress, which is the only structure in the nether you can find, Ghast are basically giant White square ghosts, that shoot fire ball and make weird sounds, Hell Hounds should be easy to identify, Pigman are also bipedal zombie pigs with swords, and they won't attack you until you attack one of them, also you should know that if a wither hits you, you risk the chance of turning dust and wither away,".
The last part caused them to shiver a bit, but else they went to the portal chamber.
They saw her giving them things, "things to help in the journey, they are all in the bag," she said, with a bag indeed her hand.
In the bag they found several items, in it was multiple things that looked like it was made of blocks.
Iron Shovel
Sixty four Torches
Iron pickaxe
Sixty four cobblestone
Two Potions of Healing
Flint and steel
Ten obsidian blocks
The Nether : Guide By Erza Gremory- the same book they all read before they came.
They looked at her, she rolled her eyes, "the following, is to actually collect the soul and blocks, since there is no other way, to mark where you have been, same thing to the Pickaxe, if their is a gap you can build the bridge, these blocks pretty much defy gravity, potions since you can get hurt, and finally the two in the end is if you get lost, the portal is gone, or deactivated," she explained.
After a moment, they nodded, "well how bad can it be, we are going to Hell," Hashirama sarcastically said.
In the other side of the portal, since the last one was destroyed by the Ghast, it was moved to somewhere else, the Ghast from what they learned couldn't really destroy obsidian, but interrupt one? It can.
They took a look around, the ground is what, they could only assume is netherack, and some random patches of white was quartz.
There near by was a ocean of lava, which explained the hot air, which by the way, was filled with rotten smells.
Taking out the pick axe, Madara tapped it about seven time on the netherack, before it transformed into miniature version of itself.
"Well that's one down," Hashirama said, blinking at the block, it was only then they heard a noise.
When they turned, all they saw was what looked like a over sized marshmallow with tentacles and eyes, they had to assume that this was a Ghast.
Soon after, it literally spat out a fire ball, we dodged it easily, it wasn't really moving fast, in fact the Ghast itself was even slower.
When it shot out another fire ball, Madara remembering what Erza taught them about Ghast and hit the ball made of fire.
It immediately changed its course and shot right through the mob, and after a smoke screen later, they found a weird gray oval thing.
Hahshirama picked it up, "this must be the Ghast tear, it's smaller than I thought," he was still shocked that they have slain their first Ghast, even if it is Madara's kill and it was incredibly easy.
"Still I don't see how this is suppose to be hard, I mean, I have already collected fifty blocks of this netherack," hahshirama said, unknowingly just doomed them.
Madara nodded, was it simply the fact that she was too weak, or this one was inexperienced, It was only then they heard a sound.
When they turned their heads their eyes widened and mouths dropped, right behind them...
Was a army of monsters, literally everywhere they looked, they were surrounded, or at least infeomt of him and at their sides.
Jumping Magma-like cubes...
Red Wolfs with some surrounded by flames...
Dozens more Ghasts...
There was even bats here.
The only ones that didn't look like they were gonna kill them, were the Pigman, who were looking curiously at them, but that would only last until they might accidentally hit one of them.
They were beginning to understand the dangers of the nether or as they now could literally fall into hell, this place filled with monsters.
Hell.
They looked at each, looked towards the army, back at themselves, and nodded at themselves.
All was still, until...
They ran
They ran the hell out of there...
What did you expect them to be able to kill that many mobs, they were NOT ready for this, luckily enough there was a fortress,...across the lava.
Madara taking out the cobble stone immediately started placing a block bridge top speed, faster then the Minecraft champion builder.
The mobs in the other hand, started to follow them, well you can't blame them for not trying, as some jumped into the lava and started to swim to them, while the wolves, followed them.
Hashirama has been delivering punches to them, when Madara has been building their way up to the structure.
When they entered, Madara finished his build by placing a wall, in all of that, Madara and his friend look into their supplies and found they had thirty cobblestone left, so about half was left.
They heard a sound, they turned and the two of them saw, what they can only assume would be Blazes, with them, flying and all the three of them, seemingly made from flames.
It was then, Blazes shot out fireballs, both of them dodged and went out to end them, when they landed a killing blow they looted out of existence and left the blaze rods behind.
On the way they fought quite a lot of these mobs, and by the time they were finally done collecting the rest of he materials they were at the portal.
When they returned to the girl's house, you can see her sitting on the chair at the bottom of the stairs and smirking,"not as easy as you thought," the voice, they automatically knew it was meant to irritate them.
"Well consider your debt paid, and also keep the already made potion, one for each as a reward," she answered, they nodded actually happy to see and get that kind of bonus.
For Erza Gremories vies, something strange happened, a new purple colored screen appeared, with numerous words on different parts of a wheel, when she touched it, it started to spin, and stopped at the word.
Equivalent Exchange 3
Anyway, to all of you, I'm sorry that this took a while, though I am currently very busy, which means sadly this will take up more time to make these chapters, oh and by the way I literally rolled a Decide Wheel, I did not specifically choose this Mod, good day.
