I'm pretty sure the Template Stacking I is a money sink...
[Template Stacking I: The Butcher XIV [Worm] for Shikamaru Nara. -320.
Template Stacking I: Mama Mathers [Worm] for Torune Aburame. -20.
Template Stacking I: Elizabeth [Bioshock Infinite] for Torune Aburame. -40.
335 Credits Remaining.]
I just can't help myself in completing the set.
Casting Tsukuyomi in the Social Club between me and Torune allowed us to fully master our perspective Templates, particularly as the Butcher's drawbacks of having voices in their heads from previous Butchers were now no longer in play, and after a full century of taking our Templates to their natural conclusion, I killed Torune Aburame, shredding his body and mind, consuming him entirely.
And just like that, I possess Mama Mather's powers and Elizabeth's.
Mama Mathers as a person absolutely didn't interest me, but her power? Oh, her power absolutely interested me.
Mama Mathers' power is this: the more you perceive her, the more she perceives you, and can manipulate the senses that were used to perceive her in the first place. Thinkers, people with powers based on super-senses like super-analysis, creating two timelines and choosing the one you want to be in while retaining the information of the other one, and so on, would be especially susceptible, as she could then manipulate those same super-senses to her advantage. It is a point to be made that the boogeyman of Worm, Contessa, would often use her Paths to exclude Mama Mathers deliberately from her calculations simply because she was that annoying of a power to deal with.
That completes the set. Bio, cybernetic, code, spiritual, mental, and now memetic virus.
Elizabeth's powers was the ability to create, open, and close tears in space-time, specifically into alternate realities. While this was the local alternate reality, in truth there is only so many variations of local realities in a given time since they are all based off of the same basic universe cluster. Still, this was useful to me because there are some individuals that I'd like to grab.
Leaving a True Clone to cover for me, and I brought back Torune Aburame who looked disoriented at the sensation of no longer having a body for a brief moment, I used a mixture of Obito's own Kamui and Elizabeth's power to create a tear, stepping through it while closing it behind me.
Social Club proved it's immediate value as while my connection to my Hive Mind was immediately shut off, Social Club still allowed me access to the minds back home.
With ease, I used Kamui to appear behind Menma Uzumaki, who floated in the air above Konoha. Before the individual could unleash his technique on the village below, I used the Adamantine Chakra Chains to cut off Menma's chakra, and dragged him, them?, did Naruko's gender alteration apply to other worlds?, into Kamui.
They struggled, but it truly didn't matter when I simply reached out and touched them. She, ah so Naruko's gender alteration did in fact cross local universe clusters, good to know, immediately stopped struggling as I forced a vial of my blood down her throat, after tossing aside the mask she used to hide herself.
Menma's long black hair reminded me too much of Sayuri's, but those eyes that were filled with hate only made me pity her. A Naruko who had had enough of Konoha, but still being molded by others. A shame.
Her hate filled eyes clenched in pain as the power of Blacklight did it's work, with my amusement growing as she found herself being bombarded by my memories, thoughts, and emotions. Through Blacklight, she was tied to me, and through me, came the Social Club and the connection to Mama Mather's powers. There was no escaping this form of connection, and Menma's body contorted in agony as I bombarded her with all the noise that I had long since learned let my other fragmentary self filter out from each mind thanks to All For One.
"Stop! Stop!" She begged, and I relented, a piece of paper held out to her. She whimpered as she signed it, sighing with relief as the cacophony of noise was gone.
[Menma. Alternate 'Dark' Naruko. Signed and Sealed Capture. 60.]
"Still want to destroy Konoha?" I asked curiously.
Menma's eyes snapped open, her eyes red as she growled at me. "Yes, why, going to tell me to forgive them?" She sarcastically fired at me, her eyes narrowed.
"No. Konoha is all yours. I have a different goal of mine to deal with. Just try to not get brainwashed again."
Because why settle for one universe of Captures when I can have two?
My smile darkened as I kicked Menma out of Kamui, who looked flushed at being caught with her pants down, metaphorically speaking, was replaced instead by Obito Uchiha's masked form appearing right where Naruko used to be.
"Who are you? To be able to use Kamui, and influence the Kyuubi Jinchuriki so easily is no small feat." Obito commented darkly.
"I'm your long lost dad, Obito Uchiha. I finally came back home with the milk, and an ass-kicking you deserve." I mocked him, my grin widening.
Obito's exposed Sharingan narrowed as he snarled, but he coughed, and kept on coughing, stumbling to his knees as he continued to cough and gasp for air.
"I'm afraid it's too late, Obito. You're already infected. It's alright. It'll be over soon." I mockingly comforted him.
"What, is this?" Obito gasped weakly. "What did you infect me with?" He demanded weakly as he continued to cough violently, his hands shaking.
"You're infected with Blacklight. I am Blacklight. And together, you and I will bring a utopia of understanding to this rotten Shinobi world." My voice echoed as Obito's vocal chords moved by my command.
Oh yeah, it's all coming together.
Sucks when you don't have Possession Defense II, eh? So many ways to have someone just take over your body like a meat-suit.
[Obito Uchiha. Signed and Sealed Capture. 0. Captured Copy.]
My eyes twitched, and I sighed as I just killed Obito Uchiha, completely consuming him and destroying his thoughts and memories to ensure it was a final death.
Damn, the Company thought ahead.
Ah well, can't win them all. I shrugged.
Appearing back where I'd been before, was in the air looking down at a crater.
I whistled. "Very nice." I commented as Menma floated next to me, her black hair exposed to the winds, as she frowned.
"I feel... empty. All these years planning for revenge, and I just feel nothing now. Why?" She looked at me, confusion and hurt on her face.
"Because in the end, revenge for yourself isn't all that satisfying. Revenge on behalf of others? Totally different story." I said quietly. "Now, how about we get you a clean slate and a new life? It's not much better than the one you had here, but it's a work in progress." I shrugged.
Menma's face flushed. "I, would like that. Are you single?" She asked me bluntly, her face turning red as she blushed, her red eyes refusing to look at me. I snorted.
"No, is that going to stop you?" I said with amusement.
"No." She said bluntly. "As long as you're not fucking my mom."
I tilted my head. "An alternate version of you?" I questioned back.
Menma's face stayed red as she licked her lips. "That's actually kinda hot." She admitted.
I laughed. "Well then, let's go introduce you to your long-lost sister. I'm sure you'll have a lot to catch up on."
"As long as she knows that udon is superior to ramen." She commented. I snorted. Oh yeah, this'll be fun.
