Veil Of Greed: Hunt For The Numbers!
Chapter 25: Stone Toadification
Date: January 13th, 2023
Last time, it started with those who fought with the Dark Sage hiding in the trees on the lookout for trouble near where Naruto returned to Konoha from confronting Pain/Nagato and Konana as a hero. Things were fine until explosions began being heard. They went out of hiding, Swiftdrawer demonstrated they can sort of use magic again, and they informed Konoha what was going on but weren't believed until Sakura spoke up. After that, the 6 Pains were back and nearly killed everyone but Swiftdrawer among others stopped them before conversation happened. Time was soon stopped as many comrades showed up in order to "divide and conquer" the 6 Pains one by one. It was a difficult battle against each one but they did it. Swiftdrawer died from going far beyond their limit thanks to Bray's healing spell only to be told to recreate their destroyed body so they did and found out about the chakra unlocked inside along with the wind inside who spoke to them. They and many others helped more others in 3 other battles but now, a new kind of battle has started. The final Path Of Pain, Deva Path now has 3 heads: Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan. Pmurt Nedib controlled all the Pains the entire time and split up everyone he fought against to die in many different ways. Now you can find out how or if Swiftdrawer gets away from the 4 headed robots of death in a corporate office building or not.
"Damn you! Are you trying to burn me to a crisp?! If so, I will do what I must to survive and destroy all of you robots!" "I'd like to see you try to prevent yourself from being FIRED!" There are so many flamethrowers being aimed towards me. I can't just take off my armor. It would increase my speed but lead me to having a much higher likelihood of getting my body turned to ash. I don't even have the luxury of standing still to generate air force by swinging my sword in some of my special attacks to counter. And I certainly can't just try the one ninjitsu style attack I managed to learn with my power because it would require all of my concentration to be powerful at this point in time. I don't even know if it would work at all. Crap. How the hell am I supposed to beat them? It is scorching in here because of those flamethrowers! But before I can try to do anything to destroy the robots, something remarkable happens. Baby Iruga Jr. appears with Judia through a portal created by a portal gun. Dominic is behind the portal and came with them as well. Iruga Jr. is going berserk again and it looks like someone gave him a Minecraftian fire resistance potion brewed with a brewing stand. That's nice. He starts smashing through some of the robots and suddenly, Madeline appears while extremely pissed off again. As if that weren't enough, Naruto appears surrounded by the chakra of the Nine Tails while also angry. And Sakura appears too. In seconds, all the robots are easily smashed up and destroyed. Dominic is the only one standing around: "Dominic, how the hell did all of you manage to get here?" "Pmurt Nedib underestimated a lot of individuals again. My fight against some creatures with 4 heads was so boring that I really want a nap now. They didn't stand a chance without any intelligence present in them."
"I'm not going to question the fact that there's so much anger being expressed right now. We need to get out of here and rescue the others." "You sure are extra focus right now. I really need a nap once this whole situation is over. I'll open a portal to the next pocket dimension created by that Nazi." And without further ado, we end up going to a different pocket dimension as it appears that Pmurt created and trapped us inside of pocket dimensions. But I don't get to fight even once as we rescue other comrades because the battles end in seconds before I can even start attacking every time. We just end up going from pocket dimension to pocket dimension with ease and practically dragging along whoever we rescue right with us. You know, simple stuff like that. Eventually, everyone we have fought with ends up in the same pocket dimension as us. A portal back to the Naruto world is quickly opened and we all are sucked into it. We end up where we were before Pmurt sent us away with the villain laughing as if he has won but he stops laughing upon seeing all of us: "Impossible! You shouldn't even be here, all of you should be dead!" Sonic the Hedgehog replies: "Sorry pal but it looks like you underestimated us! I'm the fastest hedgehog alive, there's no way you can ever kill me!" Yuya adds: "And my Performapals and I put on too much of a star performance for those robot Zarcs to stand a chance!" "This can't be happening! Then I will just use my full power to kill all of you, exterminating you freaks for good! Wokeism will soon no longer be a threat to my divinity!" An onslaught of attacks hit Pmurt Nedib right away but he simply just absorbs them. Aporia exclaims: "Damn it! That's more powerful than Synchro Absorption! I don't want to have to feel despair again like I used to. Granel, Wisel, Skiel, Astro Mekanikal, it's time. Merge into one unstoppable Meklord with Polymerization! I fusion summon! Come forth, Meklord Apocalypse Emperor!"
I state: "We don't even know what forms of energy our foe can't absorb. Damn it, he just absorbed all those attacks like it was nothing." Before anyone can say anything more or attack for that matter, Pmurt randomly transforms to have 4 heads: his, Nagato's, Konan's, and Yahiko's. "I have achieved my final form! There's no hope for you freaks now! If I didn't have so much power, I'd have to ban you from societies I control and get pawns to try to kill you. But because I'm a superior and godly being now, that no longer applies! I can just execute all of you myself!" Out of nowhere, the infamous Thanos appears through a portal. He's got golden armor, purple skin, and a giant stature. "I know you! Stay out of my way, Thanos!" Thanos holds up the Infinity Gauntlet with all 6 Infinity Stones inside of it: "I crush bugs like you who think they are better than me. This universe is mine to conquer, not yours!" Thanos snaps his finger but nothing happens: "Impossible! You should be gone, bug!" "You can't stop me, a divine and powerful god, Thanos! I am Pmurt Nedib, CEO of the United Mining Company and a superior being to all who oppose me! My useless employees have failed me time and time again! Im just about ready to kill them all and gain power from their souls! The Infinity Stones have no effect on me! I'll make a lesson out of you and successfully stream your death to my employees right now with no one able to interfere with that this time around! If those stones are your only weapon, I'm going to kill you in less than 20 seconds, Thanos!" Thanos tries to fight him but nothing he does works, all his attacks are simply absorbed. Pmurt is enjoying annoying him and just pulls Thanos in with Shira Tensei: "You annoying bug! I want to crush you, surrender now and you will be allowed to live!" Pmurt just grins maniacally as he finishes pulling Thanos towards him.
The Nazi performs some hand signs before placing his right hand on Thanos: "Summoning Technique." A giant orange hound with Rinnegan eyes is summoned and crushes Thanos to death. Before Pmurt Nedib can take and use the Infinity Stones on us, Pirate Blaster and Thrashbeak rush to the Infinity Gauntlet: "This treasure be ours, you damn Nazi malicious landlubber with no basic respect for other life forms!" To make certain that Pmurt can never use the full power of the Infinity Gauntlet, Blaster gives the Mind Stone to Thrashbeak who swallows it right away: "Squawk! Mind Stone mine! Squawk!" The pirate smiles: "Take that! Arr! We best get ready to continue fighting, everyone! I'm not planning to die until I plunder a lot more Nazis!" Members of the Nara clan such as Shikamaru and Shikaku try out Shadow Paralysis on Pmurt but he easily just absorbs the chakra that make up the shadows. "Damn it! It didn't work here either! What a drag!" "Stay focused, Shikamaru. We need to try our best to survive." "You're right, dad!" I jump into action: "That's it! Let's see you eat the wind and flames I can produce, Pmurt Nedib! Bray, you better use that crazy good healing spell on us all now again!" Bray hears me and I sense a huge amount of magic being used around me. She must have had her mana restored. Any fatigue I had is now gone. But before I attack, I pull out some Minecraftian potions I brewed myself recently because it's clear that we need as many support items as we can get now. I drink them and they give the following effects: strength ll, swiftness ll, and fire resistance. Additionally, I happen to see Maya throwing explosive potions and such at Pmurt while splashing whomever with good potions.
And then, I hold absolutely nothing back besides avoiding doing 500 Great Infernal Tornado Slashes. However, Pmurt easily absorbs all of the attacks thrown his way. I don't really see how we can win with physical or magical attacks or jutsu. Damn it. For once, I'm basically almost completely useless in this fight, not even able to deal 1 unit of damage. Bit if Pmurt isn't going to target me, I might as well find something I can actually do, but what? There aren't many options left that could help. I could teleport Pmurt to the bottom of the ocean on Earth or more specifically, the Mariana Trench but what good would that do? I'm not the only one who is having this kind of problem. Nearly everyone is as anything we try is just getting absorbed. Let's not forget the threat of that Rinnegan hound that's attacking some of my comrades. That hound can be defeated but that wouldn't do much for us considering Pmurt Nedib has found a way to make himself literally unbeatable right now. I end in the same exact area as none other than Kakashi: "Oh, hi Kakashi. We haven't fully met yet. But no introductions are needed thankfully. Damn it. I wish there was something I could do to deal any damage of damage but nothing is working." "I feel the same way but we can't give up." "True but we can't waste our energy either. We all may be unkillable for another 15 minutes thanks to Bray, one of my friends but that's not enough time. That being said, if he summons more creatures, I will help defeat them so we at least don't have to worry about them. Pmurt Nedib is the worst of the worst. He's just toying with us right now. I want to bear the crap out of him but as long as he has so much chakra, he'll keep absorbing attacks. Naruto's Sage Mode is the only thing that has so far worked against the energy absorption but it probably won't be enough against Pmurt Nedib merged with the 3 who were once taken in and taught for 3 years by Jiraya."
"Genjitsu will not work either. And my Sharingan hasn't been able to do anything to our enemy since we returned here." "You know, I just realized something. Physical attacks without mana or chakra or any other energy besides mechanical energy works against the absorption. The problem is that no one can get close enough to attack him. We've tried to focus on attacks that aren't just physical ones to no success and no one has tried to really get in close yet. I'm going to find a friend. Make sure to remind or teach everyone you can about the only type of attack that will work against Pmurt Nedib." "I will. Now go find your friend." I nod and run off to find Andromeda. They're a wolf puppy. They should be able to get in close without being noticed. I better go find the Wacky Clowns first to help pull a little distraction. I find the Wacky Clowns right away because I spotted their UFO and pursued it. It's like they're using all gadgets in it to attack Pmurt but nothing is working so they're just groaning instead of laughing. I teleport inside of the UFO while watching as Iggy the transgender man and android easily takes on the Rinnegan hound to protect the Wacky Clowns and their UFO. That's awfully nice of him. Pickle Rick Not An Alien shrieks: "Adam! What are you doing in here for?" "Wacky Clowns, I have a plan to get past Pmurt Nedib's absorption crap. To pull it off, I need your help. I need you to distract Pmurt but being as silly and annoying as possible while Andromeda sneaks up on him and attacks. I'll help handle any creatures he summons with Summoning Technique. The Rinnegan alone is terrifying to face but combined with Pmurt's powers, it is far more terrifying than alone. Is that okay with you?"
Banana Rick Not An Alien: "Hehe, sounds hilarious! I know I'm in! Just don't die, okay? It wouldn't be funny if we lost you again!" "A moment of seriously caring for someone else. That's becoming more common with you 4. Well, I'll leave you to the distracting and go find Andromeda so I can get them to hopefully sneak attack just as I wish. Think of the plan as an experiment. If Andromeda succeeds, Pmurt Nedib will become very much beatable in time." The other 3 agrees to it as well so I teleport back onto the ground and start looking for the puppy while Pmurt Nedib keeps having too much fun absorbing everyone's attacks like it's no big deal. Even the explosive firepower of paper bombs are absorbed with Pmurt's hands. It's like he doesn't want to kill us outright just yet. Anyway, I manage to quickly find Andromeda as they are running away from the fight. I catch up to them and tap em: "Andromeda, you'll be okay for a little while longer at least. Come on buddy, I know you're scared. So am I but I choose to work past that fear. You can be the start of Pmurt Nedib's defeat here. Do you want me to pick you up?" Andromeda stops running but is visibly trembling in fear. They put 2 of their paws on my legs to signify they want up. I pick them up gently and gently stroke their fur. By this point, I had long sheathed my sword so my hands were completely free to do this: "Calm down, Andromeda. I'm here, we're friends. Remember? Here's the plan I have that I need your help with. I'll help keep any summoned creatures away from you and the Wacky Clowns who will distract Pmurt. I'd like you to in the meantime, sneak attack Pmurt from behind. If you deal damage, then we have hope to beat him without having to resort to drastic measures. Is this okay with yoi?" Andromeda nods and looks a lot less scared. I put them down and they head towards Pmurt Nedib while the Wacky Clowns put on some weird comedy show with the help of megaphones. One of the jokes is about advanced trigonometry for some reason.
I joined Iggy in fighting the hound along with Guy and Rock Lee. Together, we kill the hound and join others in easily killing the other summons that have been summoned. The volume of battle greatly decreases as a result, resulting in us hearing Pmurt Nedib complain: "Ow! What mortal freak is hurting me?! This is unacceptable! Whoever is will be the first to be executed by my divine punishment in the name of America and freedom! Oh wait, nevermind, these attacks will do no damage anymore. Is that a little pathetic wolf hurting me? It will be dead in just a few seconds!" Before our very eyes, Pmurt Nedib turns into paper and reforms himself behind Andromeda. No one can react in time to save the wolf puppy.. They're brutally blown up with Asura Path's power. I'm the first to react: "Nooooo! Andromeda!" Bray gasps: "My spell wasn't enough.." Tears fall down my eyes. The bloodbath began here. "You killed an innocent wolf who just wanted friends, peace, and happiness! You damn Nazi! You killed them! I'm going to avenge Andromeda and find a way to make you hurt! I promise! Haaaaaaa!" Tears continue streaming down from my eyes as I go right for Pmurt Nedib. Others such as Naruto, Deku, Sakura, Wonder Woman, and Mel are right behind me. However, it was pointless to try to attack him head on for me. He tries to blow me up and pushes me away after quickly beating the living crap out of me. I land hundreds of meters away gasping for air and coughing up blood. My mask is heavily cracked as a result of all of this. Damn it, Bray's spell has worn off already. It was supposed to last longer so what in the hell happened? But there's my time to think as a bunch of paper bombs are wrapped around me. I just barely managed to see a paper clone of Pmurt Nedib. Damn it. We all forgot about Konan's abilities.
In an instant, the paper bombs explode, destroying my cloak and mask, and damaging pretty much every other piece of gear. My gloves are also completely destroyed, revealing my hands coated in red. This is really bad. Pmurt is only using the abilities of Pain and Konan and this has already happened. The paper clones are easy to beat if you aren't seriously injured or tied up if you have the right timing but Im seriously injured now. So much of my body hurts. My face must look horrible right now. "Damn you, Pmurt Nedib. Why are you so insistent on killing all of us and making us suffer before doing so?" The paper clone replies: "I could just brainwash all of you but I don't trust my useless employees to make that a successful investment. And it takes more magic to brainwash than to just kill! Inferior unholy and sinful freaks like you must be cleansed out of existence! You don't belong anywhere where decent law abiding people exist!" "Oh please. The law don't mean anything in comparison to survival and destroying fascism. The law is just another tool of oppression in any accursed society. I'm not dead yet so your destruction will likely strike a nerve of the original Pmurt Nedib. I'm desensitized to you having 4 heads already. I've seen that enough to get used to it already. Arg! This pain! It hurts so damn much! I see red dripping. At this rate, I'll bleed to death. I don't know if I can defeat you, paper clone. But, I will at least try. It's better to go down fighting than go down doing nothing but waiting for your demise! My body is well enough to allow me to keep fighting." "You can't fight with your hands in such bad condition!" "Oh yeah?! You wanna bet? Let me show you why I've been called an overachiever. I don't know where the rest of my HP bananas went so this looks like this is going to be my last stand. Damn. I was hoping to heal myself with one to stop the bleeding. I will go out and not hesitate."
I draw my sword as the clone summons another creature and pulls me towards him to kill me from up close. Even though it hurts so much and I'm losing a lot of blood and feel a little faint, I stab my sword into the ground and resist the pull. The pulling is stopped and I immediately take my sword out of the dirt and shout with all my might as I exert everything I have left into one last series of attacks: "You can't absorb this or dodge it easily! Drawing Devastation! Haaaaaaaa!" The attack kills the summoned creature and manages to cut the clone down to size even though he splits into paper again. The bleeding and pain is much worse now but I did it. I made my last stand. I can die knowing that I tried my best with what I still had to resist Pmurt Nedib. I close my eyes, knowing that I'm about to die. I didn't go down without a fight. The death I wanted most besides from old age/natural causes. Yes. But existence had other plans for me: "Giga Cure!" I open my eyes in shock. I know that voice of who saved my life. Madeline. "Madeline, you saved me?" She still looks pissed and replies in a angry but also soft tone: "Get up. We need everyone we can to crush Pmurt Nedib and return him to sender! I won't let anyone die on me!" "Okay then. Well, I guess the warrior's death will have to wait. Good. There must be a way to beat him without using you know what. Better yet, a way to kill him again." "We can't keep talking like this. He must be stopped as soon as possible. We've lost a lot of comrades in the short time since you were sent flying all the way over here!" "What?! Oh no! It's so much harder to revive than it is to save from certain death!" And with that, we teleport much closer to Pmurt than we are now. And from there, we try our best to help the others who are still alive attack. I put so much effort into each attack I try out, so many swings. However, I'm never able to stay close long enough to Pmurt to really do anything.
Damn it again, he just keeps absorbing what he can and dodging everything else no matter what we all try to do in order to beat him. And I'm talking about many iconic attacks even such as Photon Stream Of Destruction. It is constant fails. Nothing we do is working. We must find the way to beat him but what is it. I swear there is a solution but I just can't think of it now that I'm focusing on defense because we have literally lost a lot of comrades. Even Dominic was killed. Damn it all! I see everyone around me struggle just as I do but I keep up with my usual defense strategy despite everything. I must do so in order to give us enough time to think of some way to defeat and hopefully kill Pmurt again. Fusion won't work. I'm certain of that in terms of this time. Last time, he didn't have Nagato or Konan's abilities to make him nearly unstoppable. What I didn't expect was a holy crap ton of defenses to suddenly go up. Crowler of Duel Academia yells: "I activate Ancient Gear Castle!" Soon enough, the field spell Golden Castle Of Stromberg is even activated and generates a big castle that traps Pmurt Nedib inside. Ovenzilla is the one to bring up the significance of this using their own megaphone: "It is important to say that that castle just bought us about 30 seconds. I trigger another intellectual brainstorm session! It's been a while since anyone has triggered it!" And just like that, a magical mind space opens up, allowing for the passing of thoughts and ideas between all of us to become temporarily easier. It sure has evolved since the last time, that's for sure. It doesn't take long for the one solution to our problem to be come up with, discussed, and accepted. It only took 15 seconds. Now, everyone knows what must be done at last. The session ends and we return to consciousness. Now we just have to make sure we can do what's needed to split up our foe. Pmurt Nedib destroys the golden castle just as Bray and other magic users put up barriers and all kinds of other protections. Gadgets are even activated to create force fields.
Hinata breaks the tense silence that has befallen us for several reasons: "Byakugan!" 4 seconds later, she gasps: "Our enemy still has so much chakra left inside of him, he has barely used any of it in this battle!" Naruto confirms by going into Sage Mode: "You're right, Hinata. I can sense all of his chakra. This thing called defusion looks to be the only way. I don't know what it is exactly but I'm willing to help make it happen. Shadow Clone Technique! Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!" The extremely powerful attack that involves a giant ball of chakra spinning and looking like a massive shuriken heads towards Pmurt Nedib who absorbs it with ease. Naruto smirks: "Alright. So you can take one, huh? What about two?" He does it again and the same thing happens. Thanks to all the barriers and stuff, Pmurt Nedib is having a hard time getting close to any of us now so Naruto can easily gather energy from nature to perform more of that attack. It looks like he thinks that nature energy could turn Pmurt Nedib into a frog statue, allowing for defusion to be a easier thing to use on the villain. I doubt that will be enough to stop Pmurt at least long enough to pull defusion on him but I guess we'll see. We finally have a chance to rest, heal, and resurrect as many comrades as possible. In seconds, Yggsdrasil Leaves are distributed among many of us and used to revive some dead comrades. Damn. Seyren, Swiftdrawer, Roan, and the others must have been busy gathering them when they could. They're leaves from a tree of life so of course they have resurrecting properties. And now, someone just activated a sphere field around all of us to keep Pmurt Nedib even further away from us for a bit. The combined defenses will hold for a couple more minutes. It turns out that most everyone who died was successfully revived by this moment. Naruto is teleported out of the field by someone along with some others such as Takius and Varmundt who are clearly meant to erect barriers around Naruto so he can charge the nature energy within himself to perform more Rasenshurikens. No time to complement or object, we're taking full advantage of this temporary recess period. It's too bad that when the Nazis come killing en masse in America in my world that things will be even harder and much bloodier.
If no one here had supernatural powers, mana, chakra, advanced technology, or anything like that, Pmurt Nedib would have been quickly overpowered and killed with guns, swords, knives, fists, and such by now for sure. But if he brought allies/pawns, we'd be engaged in a bloody battle with heavy losses on both sides. This statement is a scenario in which all of us are ordinary humans with weapons and other 21st century Earth stuff. So there you go. I help revive more comrades including poor Andromeda. I hug them right away after they are healed by a calmer Madeline. However, Pmurt Nedib breaks through all of our defenses after that, sphere field included. Things just keep getting worse, don't they? Just like in my world. Just like in my world. At least everyone is alive now. My sword though sheathed again still has dried blood visible on it from earlier. I'm surprised I haven't passed out from the blood loss. Maybe I overestimated how much I lost. But I feel like I might need a blood transfusion as soon as that's possible to be done. Right now, it just isn't. Pmurt Nedib is hellbent on trying to use summons to kill us all. I can see it in the expressions from the people he forced to merge with him and the hand signs he has just started to do. Naruto better be done charging up again soon. He is. Without warning, he sends out 2 Rasenshurikens at the same time from behind Pmurt. Pmurt is forced to stop the summoning and absorbs both. To our shock, Pmurt turned into a 4 headed stone frog. He yells loud enough for all to hear: "I did it!" Then, a bunch of talking toads from a certain mountain show up near Naruto. Some of them are in bandages. One of the toads is the chief, he has red/orange skin, yellow eyes, and a robed outfit. I would go into more detail but there were more pressing matters at this time. The chief is in bandages and yells: "Who summoned me! My back still hurts from being thrown so far! Naruto! Do you have something to do with this?" "No, it wasn't me who summoned you or asked you to be summoned!"
"Then who the hell is behind this? I was resting and recovering!" Cracks start forming on the toad stoned Pmurt Nedib. Takius replies as loudly as she can: "I did! Myself and many others have learned of your existence and we need your help! But now, it's time to split Pmurt Nedib apart!" And with that, anyone who can use something to defuse something or someone does so. Dominic is first: "Molecular Break!" I'm among about 20 who activate a copy of the Defusion spell card. Just like that, the merge is undone, leaving behind an angry Pmurt Nedib, exhausted and solemn Konan, and unresponsive for obvious reasons, Nagato and Yahiko. Pmurt Nedib is so angry that's he's just not moving at the moment. He isn't reacting to the presence of all the toads from Mount Myōboku. It's like he's pulling a speechless Benson from Regular Show. I'm sure the Nazi will come for that universe this spring and I can't wait to kick him into next century with comrades and the likes of Mordecai, Rigby, Skips, Pops, and more assuming we don't kill him for good before he can even try to take over that universe. I get close enough to what's going on to hear Konan speak to Naruto: "I remain having no intention to return to the Akatsuki. Best of luck to you, Naruto Uzamaki. I will put my friends in a special place to rest now. Nagato can finally rest now that his, Yahiko's, and Jiraya's dreams lie with you. Farewell, Naruto Uzamaki." And with that, Konan leaves with Yahiko and Nagato's bodies. That is finally enough to snap Pmurt Nedib back to reality: "YOU FREAKS! I'm going to kill all of you! Right here, right now! I don't have their powers anymore but I can still eliminate all of you for good with my divine punishment!" Naruto replies: "Hey bastard! I bet you can't defeat me now!" "You'll die for your insolence! I am superior to you and always will be! You will not survive! If anyone gets in the way of this, I will send my incompetent employees to their home world and destroy it! The Infinity Stones will still do nothing against me! Just give them up and I will be willing to let all of you go!"
"I've seen how you hurt others and I won't let you hurt anyone else! I'm Naruto Uzamaki! I'm going to be Hokage someday! Believe it!" "Freaks like you deserve no power for what you are! You have a monster inside of you and it might as well be a demon in my eyes! For accepting the demon, your punishment is death, sinner and heathen! For America and my superiority!" Naruto and Pmurt engage in hand to hand combat but it is obvious the difference in their power levels. Naruto is completely outmatched. He is losing quickly. "Naruto! We have to help him!" "Stay out of this, sinner! I told you what I'd do, didn't I?!" But then, a bunch of video screens pop up out of nowhere of what appears to be every single UMC employee. They say in unison: "We quit!" "What did you just say? Quit?! You don't quit my company! You either comply or suffer! Kill Drones, REVEAL YOURSELVES!" Nothing changes on the video screens: "KILL DRONES, REVEAL YOURSELVES! KILL MY EMPLOYEES! NOW! REVEAL YOURSELVES!" Crickets. He is still fighting Naruto but nothing is changing. Then, Crash Bug monsters appear on the screens: "Crash Bug! Crash Bug! Crash Bug!" Yuma yells too loudly: "Oh yeah! Go, Crash Bug!" Pmurt Nedib stops fighting Naruto after sending him flying and puts his hands over his face: "Noooooo! Without employees or even replacement robots, I will lose my company and all of my money! And without it, I will have nothing! Nothing! Aaaaaaa! I can't stay here to fight! I have to abandon my mission! What's a superior god without money? A disgrace, that's who! This is the worst day in months, even worse than when I first learned of Yappa Yappa's betrayal! I need to get those deserting sinners before they're gone! I can't even summon someone to punish and kill all of you in my place! I will return! The city of Danberry will be mine soon enough! Until next time, sin all you like but know that it will just mean you deserve even more punishment from my holiness! Revenge will be mine! This is all your fault, my streaming of everything including my failures led to my employees no longer feeling compelled to work for me without any other choice!"
A portal appears behind him and he escapes through it quickly before any of us can even try following him into it. With him gone, the situation is over. All that's left is all of the rebuilding and getting the timeline back on track as much as possible. Or at least, that's what I thought. There was no last surprise for us before many of us could return to fighting for the liberation of Miitopia's Galados Isle. Yuzu exclaims and points up: "Woah! Is that a shooting star?" Yuya replies: "Yeah, I think so! And it's coming our way!" Once it gets much closer, Ghost Gal states: "Yeah, no. That's not a shooting star." The Chief Toad replies: "Then what the hell is it, then?" The sky which had brightened back up after darkening due to Pmurt Nedib earlier gets darker again and the sound of circus music can be heard. The supposed shooting star lands near us, revealing a circus tent. I curse under my breath. I my curses are going p understood by anyone but all eyes are on me now: "You all guessed that I know what that's about because I muttered. You're correct and well, we're in a lot of danger now. Again. That's no circus over there, that's a spaceship. And inside are some killer clowns from outer space. Guess this is how things went after they retreated from Earth with most people from a town captured. This is really bad. Worse than you think." One of the robots that protects Twisted Land says suddenly: "Detecting large amounts of Barian energy. Large numbers of life forms confirmed. Invasion imminent. Activating defensive measures." Katori utters: "Oh no! Not more Barians!" Tron frowns: "This is concerning. The merging of Earth and Barian World was harmful enough as it was." Dr. Faker adds: "These clowns must have Barian power flowing through them." Their words aren't enough to truly capture how bad this latest problem is. The spaceship opens its entrances to reveal a lot of clowns surrounded by Barian power and armed with laser guns. The kind that trap people in cotton candy and kill them, allowing for the clowns to suck their blood out with swirly clown straws.
"Don't let them hit you with those guns! You'll get killed and cocooned in cotton candy in seconds if you do! But also, aim for their noses! That's how you kill them!" There ends up being enough killer clowns for each and every one of us to end up fighting one. The one I'm fighting has spiky purple hair and a typical clown outfit plus the red nose, face paint, and so on. Very creepy but that's not enough to stop me. "You damn clown! Just drop your gun and let me actually be able to fight you! I don't want to be cocooned in cotton candy." I actually understand the clown's reply thanks to the power of Multiversal Standard: "You will die and we will drink your blood, human. Human blood is delicious! I will do whatever it takes to kill you!" "In that case, I'll just have to knock that gun out of your hand. *sheathes sword and pulls out Chaos* Let's do this. It's been a long day. I'm not even sure if I've used you or not already today, Chaos." "Don't worry about that! I feel great right now! My core is perfectly fine and stable!" "Alright then. *keeps dodging blasts from the laser gun* B Shots! Ready. Aim. Fireblast! Let's get to it! Emblem Charge!" "Ultimate Devastating Crushing Bite!" "I don't feel like chanting this time. Let's just unleash everything we have, Chaos!" "Hell yes, let's unleash the chaos to overwhelm our opponent!" A part of the training I've done with Chaos Wolg was a lot of moving around while shooting at targets. As a result of that, I'm able to keep dodging while aiming marbles for the clown's laser gun. Chaos and I keep going with our combined efforts until we at last managed to knock the gun out of the clown's hand. There's no time to pick it up and use it on them in a twist of irony. I don't think the fight is close to done. I put Chaos away again, hope that I can collect the marbles later, and get my fists ready because I'm being punched a lot now with no chance to draw my sword. The clown suddenly powers up with a Barian Crystal that I just now notice is in their forehead. They're seriously glowing red now.
"You will not survive the power of Barian, human! I will kill you and cocoon you so I can drink your blood once we kill everyone here! The children will scream!" "You are one hell of a clown. Be it as it may, I don't intend on losing to you today or ever. My muscles are more than enough rested to fight you hand to hand. It's been ages since I could just focus on one opponent I can handle like you like this. I prefer it this way. It's more fun and feels more rewarding in the event I win. I gotta be honest. I love me a good fight! Haaaaaaa! I have no specialized punches or kicks but this still will be something else. I won't let you get your gun back. Instead, I will just crush it." I stomp on the gun and keep doing so until it breaks under my weight. With that out of the way, I even take off my armor and gesture the clown to come at me. They do and I block the first punch as much as doing so hurts. I crack my knuckles quickly before pulling a cheap elbow to prevent a series of punches from taking place. However, that was merely the warmup for both of us. From there, we just got serious and held few punches. *punch* *punch* We stop each other from landing a good blow. *kick* *kick* The same thing happens but before I knew it, I was elbowed back and stagger back a little. That's enough for me to be punched in the gut and knocked to the ground. With me knocked to the ground and getting back up, the clown suddenly has their muscle mass increase greatly. The first punch after that breaks one of my ribs: "This is my true power, human! I was just testing you before now! There's no way you can win!" "When I'm not playing the role of a defender or tank and not even wearing my armor, I am like an intense wind. This pain. It's horrible but not enough to knock me out! Haaaaa!" I am hit with several more punches that injure me a lot but I don't stay down. When the clown has to stop to take a breather for a second after hitting me with 20 in a row, I take the window of opportunity. I kick them in the shin with the help of that second and use the reaction time in order to get back up while gritting my teeth in pain.
"This is how it is. The one on one fight. The kind most optimal for me. I prefer having to focus on one opponent who isn't completely overpowered compared to me. *coughs* You beat me really damn good but our fight has only just begun! I will pop your nose!" We had resumed trading blows by the time I stopped talking so I knew there was no way I could bring out my sword. You probably don't want to use your fists in a sword fight so if I were able to pull mine out, it would most likely mean big trouble for the clown. But they are relentless with their punches. It's like they're a machine. They just keeping punching and I largely have to just block and counterattack in order to avoid taking critical or even lethal damage. As we continue fighting, most of what can be heard from us are our punches and grunts. Typical for a fight like this so no big deal in the end. "Damn it! Are you secretly an android? Your stamina and resistance to damage is remarkable. Ow. My fingertips aren't used to trading blows like this. They feel kind of weird. But still. I refuse to give up to the likes of you. I have to win in the name of my comrades and to ensure the future of this world is set back on track." *punch* *punch* *block* *punch* *block* *punch* *punch* *punch* *punch* *block* *block* *headbutt* "I almost got your nose with that! Still surprised that I haven't passed out from blood loss! I've been in such good form despite that but it doesn't make me feel any better about that in the slightest bit! This is our fight and I intend on winning it or going down fighting with all I got within my fists. To be honest, I could punch harder if I just focused more so I'm going to do so now." I largely cease talking from then on out in order to hit harder and faster: "This can't be! There's no way a human could match me in punches!" "It's called training and you're getting in the way of my focus. I just want to focus on beating you. Please stop bugging my concentration."
From then on, I just let the clown talk for the most part and focus on just punching. *punch* *punch* *punch* Another of my ribs breaks but I still doing some damage too and begin aiming for their red nose. It was a cheeky trick because it meant the clown was now focusing more on protecting their nose and not watching out for their lower half. I kick them in the shin. In return, another of my ribs gets broken as does some of the cartilage in my nose. Never have I ever before had such a bad nose bleed. And I didn't have anything on my person much less I could get to stop it. Even as my nose bled, I still kept fighting. Even as my upper lip was busted up from a particularly powerful punch that followed after my nose was broken. There is just so much pain at this point but I have trained too hard to let the pain make me want to slow down, stop for a break, or give up so I just keep on going. "I'm winning! You're going to die, human!" "In your dreams." Remember how I said that there was a clown for all of us? I meant it. Even Ovenzilla and Abstractoa are struggling to beat a clown each. I learned this by looking beyond. That was a mistake that allowed my foe to punch me in the gut again. I stumble and nearly fall to the ground but regain my stability fast enough to catch a punch by grabbing the clown's right arm with my right hand. And I squeeze. I squeeze harder and resist punches from his left fists by blocking my left hand when possible. It hurts like hell but I don't let up. I increase the pressure of my squeeze and make sure to not let the clown get away from me so that I'm forced to let go. Where they go, I also go with the power of my feet. I end up squeezing so hard that my hand starts feeling sore so I'm forced to finally let go. However, the damage was done. Circulation was cut off from the clown's right hand so now it is nearly useless. I have turned the tables right on the clown. I once again block a lot of punches despite the hurt still inflicted despite that. I'm going to break their nose one of these minutes and thus, finally kill them off for good.
Just you wait. But of course, I make a decision that makes the brute strength of the clown meaningless in comparison. I stop punching and start running and dodging. The clown tries to keep up with me but is no longer able to land a single hit on me or even get close enough to. Their body was clearly not trained enough to handle running. That's why the clowns always walked if they didn't have a vehicle of transportation to go get some humans in Killer Klowns From Outer Space. It's not just because it was creepier and would set off less alarms. It was also because they aren't in good enough shape to run for very long. This is backed up by the exhaustion the clown is now facing. I keep running and dodging until they collapse of exhaustion. I found my armor and out it back on before pulling out my sword and puncturing the clown's nose with it. Before my eyes, the nose pops and the clown starts spinning around like a colorful top before exploding, leaving only confetti behind upon their destruction. Just like it was in the movie. I look around me and see the same exact thing happen many times over. After a few minutes, all of the clowns are gone and the spaceship is just sitting there. Dominic finds me: "Adam! You look horrible! Let me fix you! Cure.Exe! I need a nap. A really long nap. *I'm healed* There we go, you aren't on the verge of death anymore! The clowns are all taken care of. *sends the spaceship to another dimension* And there goes the ship they used into that dimension that's being slowly created by myself and many others. That's all over now. Finally. I haven't been involved in a one on one fist fight in a very long time. It was fascinating and scientifically stimulating though it still doesn't change my want for a nap. What a causation to want a nap. If I took it more seriously, it would have ended sooner but I didn't feel like I was in much danger so I didn't bother." "Okay but also, thank you and this is a sign of what's to come. Don Thousand must be behind what just happened. It was hard but not so hard that it didn't feel like a test style setup. They had Barian power flowing through them. But at least that's the end of our problems till we return to Miitopia, right?"
Kabuto appears out of nowhere next to Naruto who happens to be near us: "Hmm, I think I should begin the next phase of my plans immediately. I was hoping to wait a little while longer but after all these unexpected developments, I think it's a very good idea to start now. I'm just here to warn you all, especially you, Naruto that I'm getting into the fun. I hope you haven't missed me that much!" He has gray hair, pale skin, cracks in his skin, a black and red snake cloak with snake eyes, yellow reptile eyes, glasses, and purple around his eyes. "Kabuto! You bastard!" "Oh, have I angered Naruto?! How amusing but I have no more time here. I just need a little more time to prepare now! Oh wait, what are those strange cards on the ground? I'll take them back for studying if you don't mind!" But then, the oddball Tobi in a spiral orange mask and Akatsuki cloak appears out of nowhere as well. He speaks: "Oh no no! I'll be taking those! I'm going to have so much fun playing with them! I hear they have awesome powers inside!" You know, that brings up a good point. Shouldn't the numbers have made Pmurt Nedib that much more nearly unbeatable? I guess not this time or at least not to any observable degree that anyone noticed because nobody has brought up anything like that. That being said, we can't allow either of them or Danzo for that matter to get their greedy hands on those numbers. I can't believe we forgot about all of them in the midst of all of this stuff that's been going on. Naruto yells: "Well, you aren't getting anything! Not as long as we're here to stop you!" Tobi complains: "Aww man! All of you are super strong! There's no way I can get these cards without having to fight all of you! I can't fight so many strong opponents! That's not fun and too scary! Forget the cards, I need to get out of here! Bye! You can't catch me!" Tobi disappears. That just leaves Kabuto who adjusts his glasses: "Are you sure you are actually going to stop me? You all must be so exhausted after all of that! I know that Konoha has been watching my movements so they must be afraid of them. As they should. Now that I have a part of Lord Orochimaru inside of me, I'm stronger than ever!"
Bakugo yells: "Don't underestimate us, YOU DAMN EXTRA! I'LL KILL YOU, YOU BASTARD! DIE DIE DIE!" Shikamaru groans: "Is this guy for real?" Deku replies: "Don't mind him, Kacchan is always like this." "DON'T VOUCH FOR ME, DEKU! YOU DAMN NERD!" "If you're just going to keep acting like that, I'll just take these cards and return to my hideout. They'd be very nice to research and experiment with." Kabuto goes right for the numbers but Ghost Gal grabs them before he can by using her duel board: "I don't think so, hun. We know all about you, Kabuto Yakushi." "And who might you be?" "Why do you ask? It won't matter anyway. The name's Ghost Gal." "I just wanted to know the name of the person I stabbed to death to obtain those cards!" Ruka, one of the Signers of the Crimson Dragon appears high above, riding Ancient Fairy Dragon. Ancient Fairy Dragon allows her to dismount in front of Ghost Gal in time to catch Kabuto off guard. This allows for Maya to run in and take Kabuto's kunai while laughing and being praised by Poi Poi. "Girl, you better give me back that kunai. Girls shouldn't go around playing with those. They might hurt themselves!" Maya mocks him before running off after putting the kunai in her cart with Poi Poi hopping after her. He sighs: "Oh well. It's a good thing I thought to bring plenty just in case. You can never have enough kunai as a ninja." He pulls out another but it's taken away immediately by Ugger with Root Reach. Edyn shows herself and hugs Ugger: "Nice job once again, Ugger!" "Aww, Edyn! You're always too kind! It makes me so happy! "How many of you are there? What kind of creature is your friend? I should take him and perform interesting experiments on him just like Lord Orochimaru would have." He pulls out 2 kunai and rushes towards Ugger instead of Ghost Gal. However, the kunai are sucked away by Space Hero: Thirteen who is next to show up to stop Kabuto. He is getting increasingly annoying: "AND WHO MIGHT YOU BE?!" "I am Space Hero: Thirteen. My quirk Black Hole has sucked up your 2 kunai." "Then I will just have to fight all of you with just jutsus. Hidden Shadow Snake Ha- What is this strange feeling I'm getting. Something's got my right hand. What is this?"
Uraraka shows herself to him: "Hi there, I'm Uravity. And with my quirk, I have made you float but I can't take all the credit for all of this. Just look down below you." Below Kabuto is Tsu aka Froppy: "I'm Froppy. I can do pretty much anything a frog can, ribbit." She got him with her tongue if that wasn't obvious. She has light skin, really long green hair, black eyes, and apparently, just her school uniform on instead of her hero costume. Talk about coming here in a rush. "How many women and girls are going to get in my way?" Katori runs past Kabuto and the others and grabs the numbers from Ghost Gal to hold onto them. And then, the finale. Takius stands in front of the floating and currently binded Kabuto and points her staff in his direction while casting a spell: "Goodbye, Kabuto Yakushi. Teleportation!" And just like that, Kabuto is gone from sight. He won't be a problem for a while but we might have to keep or send some people here to slow down his plans to ensure they progress as they were originally supposed to before the Dark Sage and Pmurt Nedib cast their sights on this world like it's free real estate. But that will depend on some things. It won't be long now in number of days until the biggest conflict in the history of this world begins. With Kabuto and Tobi pit of the way, there's only one worry left. Danzo. Naturally, all residents of this world who fought with us are sent back through time to the remains of Konoha's gate. Dominic goes back in time too to fix all of the damage in that area due to Pmurt Nedib's actions with the help of some others who also went back. They returned to the present quickly and we all decided to stay in this world for now. After all, we need to explain a lot to a lot of ninja and toads. One on one almost always works best with these kinds of things. But will any of us tell Naruto? Not sure, he has quite the mouth if I'm being honest. So that settles that for the most part. We know what we're going to do now. Those who can travel around to restore all of the rest of the damage caused by fighting the Dark Sage and Pmurt Nedib toady belief returning to the rest of us once again.
However, something really strange begins to happen right as we receive word from somewhere that what has happened has not affected what Danzo is doing in the slightest and the ninja have all sworn to not speak of or even report on what has transpired. Lucky us. So naturally, about 75% of BRAINS members and allies take their leave, leaving the rest of us to explain things as usual. Yay. I'm probably going to explain things to Shikamaru. I get his vibe completely so it'd work out. But anyway, back to the strange thing. There's no wind anymore. And the setting sun has stopped setting completely. The clouds are glitching out even though this isn't a virtual video game world. Madeline was finally calm entirely until this point: "WHO THE HELL IS MESSING WITH THIS WORLD?!" None of us have an answer. Due to this, we postpone our plan of explaining things and start investigating in an attempt to figure out what is going on. But there's nothing that can possibly be causing this that I know of from Naruto Shippuden. Chakra can't make a world glitch, not through any jutsu I know of, anyway. Something very wrong is going on. But what the hell is it? And what will happen to this world because of it? *Meanwhile on a planet that is likely the source of all chakra or something with an advanced civilization to boot* A pale alien with eyes that could pass off as the Byakugan is typing on a Quantum Computer on a text document that already has so many words on it: "My novel: The Legends Of Earth is almost complete! It is said that chakra is used by the inhabitants of that world but I don't believe it. Some of our people are scheduled to go there to eat the cultivated chakra from the Divine Tree on that planet in some years anyway so I guess we'll find out if everything I'm writing is true or not then. I'm not sure who my favorite character is. Is it Naruto, Nagato, Madara, or someone else? All these OCs are so interesting! I don't know who my favorite is and I find it so annoying. Now to finish this first book. 10 million words or so with just 2000 to go. *types some* And done. Now to hit save. *hits save* Oh no! My document has crashed! This can't be!"
Strange things happen there too. The computer explodes and all clocks stop functioning. *Back to Swiftdrawer* The sky is now completely glitching out. Specks and colors are everywhere and a barely audible shrieking sound is now being heard by all of us. A nearby flying bird breaks apart into strange pieces right before our eyes. The ground breaks up into misshapen cubes as the sky flickers from night to day to night to day to night. The Sun replaces the Moon, the Moon replaces the Sun, this repeats over and over again. I exclaim: "It's like whatever the universe equivalent of the CPU is being overloading, leading to glitches and all kinds of problems everywhere! This is really bad. And I don't think there is anything any of us can do to stop this. I would figure this out with Artist's Eye except I can't activate it again today to do more than sense energy for less than 2 seconds." We are left speechless as a black void of nothing begins creeping into everything as reality distorts all around us much more. I end up standing in a strange combination of several ninja villages around me mixed with a lake of all things. Parts of noises in the sky, a floating pond embedded into a building that is missing its left half for some reason with a cryptid creature inside for some reason. It gets stranger. There's a bunch of ninja in the same spot at the same time, causing a very cursed thing to be seen. And then, just like that, everything disappears around us and our bands put us into the installed into them spacesuits automatically: "Great. Did the universe just crash for some reason? What the hell is this? A lot of life forms just died or ceased to exist. What now?" To be continued in Redundant Apocalypses Chapter 10.
Outro: Well, this went not according to any plan I had beforehand at all! That being said, it gives off lots of chaotic energy! Finally, a one on one fight. Been too long since I wrote something like that for real. I couldn't think of how to extend the arc along to add another chapter after this in this story to it so I chose not to pursuit another chapter of this in this story. Instead, we have THIS. It has a perfect set up for the next Redundant Apocalypses chapter. It will be followed by a Chaotic Hangouts chapter that is in Konoha just like the 2nd chapter of that story. Yay! I hope you enjoyed this chapter and enjoyed how the villains were repelled this time! It's not often I write villains getting repelling in such ways because they often aren't that easy to get rid of. Kabuto just wasn't prepared for some girl power amd he paid the price for not being, haha. I'll be hopefully seeing ya next time. Bye bye!
