LIGHTNOVELSTORY Chapter 2: You Talk Too Much For A Bug
"Wait a sec," Naruto said casually, like he was about to tell Madara that he forgot his wallet. Madara, already having secured both Rinnegan, was poised to strike.
Naruto then pointed a finger nonchalantly toward the Shinobi Alliance and thought with a mischievous grin and a wink,
"Solar Release: Dismantle!"
In a flash, countless transparent orbs appeared in the orbit of the Shinobi World with a whoosh, like a bunch of shiny new planets popping into existence.
They began absorbing the sun's rays at a frantic pace, with a slurping sound that made it clear they were hungry for solar power.
Just a second later, these orbs started spitting out golden blades like a deadly fireworks display.
The blades sliced through the shinobi alliance with a shing and a slice, dismantling everyone into pieces as if they were made of glass. The entire army was turned into a jigsaw puzzle in the blink of an eye.
No one was spared—Edo Tensei or not. Tobirama? Dismantled. Hiruzen? Dismantled. Hinata, Ino, Gaara, "pink trash," Sasuke, and Orochimaru—all were cut down with a final, dramatic splat.
Tens of thousands of shinobi were wiped out in a single second, their screams echoing like a horrific symphony.
Soon, the fight between Madara and Naruto commenced. Despite Madara seemingly giving it his all, Naruto was clearly toying with him, much like how madara had with the Five Kages, as if playing a game of cat and mouse.
"Go! Truth-Seeking Orbs!" Madara yelled, desperation in his voice as he unleashed the ten orbs with a dramatic whoosh.
The orbs hovered menacingly, crackling with dark energy, ready to turn Naruto into cosmic dust.
But Naruto stood there, looking as bored as someone waiting for a bus. As the Truth-Seeking Orbs moved toward him, he simply said "Kamui" with a casual flick of his wrist.
Instantly, the orbs vanished into Kamui's dimension with a pop, as if they had just been sucked into a black hole.
Which made Madara's face turn even paler than a ghost at a Halloween party.
"My Truth-Seeking Orbs disappeared?! FUCKING TRUTH SEEKING ORBS!" he shouted, his voice cracking like a bad joke at an awkward party.
"Is this all you can do, Shame of the Uchiha?" Naruto said, his tone as lazy as if he was discussing the weather. He looked at Madara with a bored, Saitama-like expression that practically screamed "Is this it?"
Soon, a third eye appeared on Madara's forehead with a pop, and he yelled, "INFINITE TSUKUYOMI!!" as if he was launching the world's worst magic trick.
The moon began to morph, its surface turning a bright red and sprouting nine tomes like a Rinnegan on steroids.
The moon then started glowing with a mysterious, almost disco-ball-like light, making anyone who looked up swap their eyes for Rinnegan versions. The whole planet seemed to be catching a cosmic case of conjunctivitis.
But Madara's jaw dropped in shock when he saw Naruto unaffected by the whole spectacle. Nothing changed. It was as if Naruto had just been handed a free pass to the "No Genjutsu Zone."
"Genjutsu of that level doesn't work on me,"
Naruto said with a smirk, appearing behind Madara with a swish and delivering a punch so hard it made the 8th Gate Guy look like he was giving a friendly tap.
And mind you, Naruto was in his base form—yep, base. No fancy transformations. Just plain old, everyday, "I'm-so-good-I-make-this-look-easy" Naruto.
Naruto had earned this immunity the hard way. He'd subjected himself to torturous training in a desert without food or water.
Picture him hallucinating mirages—only the mirages were traps set by his clones.
For Example If he fell for a water mirage, the water turned into acid that made him scream like he was getting a chemical peel from hell. The desert was basically one big "How-Not-To-Die" obstacle course.
The fight was over almost before it began. Madara was soon beneath Naruto's foot.
"You thought you could keep up? Don't make me laugh," Naruto said, pressing down with a squelch sound as Madara's ribs creaked under the pressure.
"Were you holding back?" Madara asked, his voice trailing off as if he was trying to hold a conversation while drowning. Even he could see Naruto had been just playing around.
"Do you use your entire force to crush an ant, Madara?" Naruto retorted, practically yawning. To him, Madara was about as significant as a fly buzzing around his head.
"Why didn't you just take all the tailed beasts and Rinnegan from me from the start if you're this strong?"
Madara croaked, his voice getting weaker as Naruto applied more pressure to his chest, producing a crunch that could be heard across the battlefield.
"I just wanted to see if I could kill a god or not. And it turns out they're not that big of a deal," Naruto said, grabbing Madara by the neck and lifting him with a heave. "Time to go to hell, Ghost of Uchiha."
The cracks on Naruto's hand spread, now crawling up to his elbow like some kind of horrifying, organic spiderweb. If they reached his head, he'd be a goner. So, he didn't waste a second and started absorbing Madara's powers, hoping for a quick fix.
Bang! A golden spear, moving so fast it seemed to teleport, pierced his heart with a thunk.
"Huh?" Naruto blinked in surprise, the spear lodged firmly in his chest. Almost immediately, the cracks on his body began to expand, spreading up his neck with alarming speed.
"What the hell is this?" Naruto exclaimed, tossing Madara aside like yesterday's trash. He yanked at the spear with both hands, but it was already too late. The spear's effect accelerated his body's decay, turning him into a pile of dust.
"Fuck! Fuck!" Naruto mentally screamed, watching in horror as his body started disintegrating. "I can't die like this... I don't want to die!"
"WHAT TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Naruto's frantic thoughts echoed like a broken record, repeating his desperation.
He activated Sage Mode in a last-ditch effort, hoping it would halt the transformation into ash. But nope, Sage Mode didn't do squat.
"That jutsu..." Naruto suddenly remembered a risky technique he'd been working on. "It's too dangerous, though."
"Fuck it," he thought with a resigned groan. With his remaining chakra, he initiated the time-space jutsu he'd been tinkering with.
"Solar Release: Planetary Dismantle!" Naruto mentally shouted as the transparent orbs in orbit went into overdrive, absorbing the sun's energy once again.
Bam! The dismantling effect expanded to a planetary scale, disassembling everything in sight—Madara, the ramen guy, elderly citizens, kids, newborns—basically, everyone and everything. No exceptions.
"Regression!" Naruto yelled mentally as he tapped into the spiritual energy from the souls he had just obliterated to turn back time and save himself.
He was confident he could become as strong as he was now if he successfully regressed and, after that, find out who the hell threw that spear at him and made him do this ridiculous jutsu.
But Naruto's confident expression turned into one of sheer panic when the regression jutsu failed spectacularly.
It was supposed to be a theoretical masterpiece, but it turned out to be just that—pure theory. Naruto had concocted brilliant ideas about it, but actually putting them into practice? Not so much.
"I will kill you! No matter what," were Naruto's last words as he glared in the direction from which the spear had come.
He saw some people with long golden hair and creepy white eyes floating in the air, grinning at him like they'd just pulled off the ultimate prank.
Meanwhile, in another dimension, the situation was quite different.
"Void," Naruto thought, finding himself in the same void where he'd sent Obito millions of times.
But this time, he wasn't scared—he was pissed. Dying like this after all the agony he'd endured to achieve his god-like powers? That was just insulting.
All his OP abilities didn't come out of thin air. He'd earned them through a lot of pain and hard work—like, literally torturing himself to get them.
Cue dramatic flashback sequence.
A river of memories started flowing in the void, showing Naruto's entire tragic life: being abused by the Leaf Village, his dark transformation, the creation of the Heaven-Devouring Seal, and the grueling self-torture he'd endured to unlock his overpowered abilities.
But then, the flow of memories shifted. They weren't his—they belonged to another Naruto from a different world. This alternate Naruto had a much less painful childhood. His life seemed almost pleasant in comparison.
And then, as if the universe couldn't resist one last twist, the void vanished and light enveloped him. Naruto opened his eyes, only to find himself face-to-face with a 12-year-old version of himself.
"Loudmouth brat, I can kill you with a single blow," Mizuki sneered as he brandished a kunai at the boy.
Suddenly, the young Naruto clutched his head, wincing as if experiencing a sudden headache. Mizuki, seeing his chance, lunged at him with murderous intent.
"NO! Naruto, run!" Iruka, who was barely hanging on, shouted in a desperate attempt to save his student.
"Die, you demon fox!" Mizuki growled, just about to plunge the kunai into Naruto's heart when the boy suddenly grabbed Mizuki's hand.
"You talk too much for a bug," Naruto said with a bored expression before snatching the kunai from Mizuki and stabbing him in the neck with lightning speed.
