He stood perched on a tree branch, taking in the view. As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but dense, vibrant rainforest.
His gaze also picked out all kinds of strange plants and animals he'd never laid eyes on before. The mysterious atmosphere of the jungle was a little unnerving.
Suddenly, he sensed someone else nearby. He turned to the west, the direction from which he felt their presence.
"That's odd… why didn't I get a warning earlier? And where did these people even come from?"
When he entered the forest, he'd made damn sure that nobody else was around. Unless… were they some kind of space-time ninjutsu users? Like Obito?
He pulled a black rod from his right sleeve, snapped it in two. Then he bent low, his hands touching the tree trunk. Chakra surged through his legs and arms, followed by an ear-splitting sonic boom.
The boom was from Nagato launching himself at high speed towards the intruders.
Up in the air, he noticed his two legs, broken from the launch, instantly heal. He also realized that every time he regenerated, steam billowed from the wounds.
Honestly, launching himself with that kind of speed was a terrible idea. A normal human body just wouldn't be able to withstand that sudden surge of pressure.
Luckily, he had both Super Regeneration, and the Titan Shifter's healing powers. If a regular shinobi tried that stunt, they'd be pretty much useless.
He shifted his focus ahead. The closer he got, the more clearly he could sense two out of the four. They had chakra levels equivalent to a Jonin-level shinobi.
"Alright, you intruders better get ready." He said, his face cold and hard.
His grip tightened on the black iron blade in his right hand. With the speed he had now, he could take someone's head off easily.
...
To the west of the forest, the four figures were clearly in a state of panic and confusion.
"What the hell happened? Why are we suddenly here?" one of them asked, clearly agitated, staring at the dark forest stretching out in front of him.
"How should I know? Ugh, why does this kind of stuff always happen to me, damn it." A frustrated voice whined from his right. He looked over to see K****A messing with his hair, his face a mask of pure frustration.
K****A stopped his mini meltdown and surveyed the scene. Everything looked strange and creepy.
These trees are way too tall, this is totally not normal and where even is this place? Did we get teleported to the middle of nowhere? He glanced at his other companion, standing to his right.
That girl's getting turned on in a situation like this, she's such a masochist... Damn, I'm lost in the middle of nowhere with three useless girls. Fuck, why does this crap always happen to me?
He focused his gaze on the girl wearing the red witch's outfit. If it wasn't for this idiot's stupid stunt, none of this would have happened.
He took a deep breath and spoke up, "We need to get the hell out of this forest before the sun goes down." He grabbed his backpack off the ground and began walking towards the east.
"Hey, wait up K****a," he heard that annoying voice yell.
"What?" he replied, not even stopping.
"Something's weird, I can't use any of my magic spells! Not a single one! And I don't feel any magic power within me, either! This is super weird." The girl with the blue hair said, sounding anxious. She even tried casting some spells, but nothing happened.
The other three, including K****A, were shocked to hear that.
"No way, that's not possible. If a living being loses all of their magic power, they'd die. That's what they taught us at the wizard academy." Even as she said that, the witch girl quickly checked her own magic power.
Just as K****A was about to do the same, he suddenly sensed something moving towards them at incredible speed.
"Everyone, get down!" he shouted at the top of his lungs.
The three girls, still messing with their magic, jumped at K****A's sudden order. Even though they were startled, they still did as he said.
Thump...
The sound was like a huge tree falling over. K****A watched a massive, 50-meter-tall tree crash to the ground.
If I'd been hit by that, I would have been dead!!! Both of his hands were still shaking hard.
"Oh, so you were able to dodge it," a young man's voice said from behind the cloud of dust.
Judging by his voice, the guy sounded like he was about 18 or 20 years old.
Their vision was still obscured by the thick dust cloud, caused by the giant tree crashing down in front of them.
K****A's fear instantly faded when he heard the language the guy was speaking. Damn it, this guy must be one of those cheaters that the dumb goddess gave powers to. But why is he speaking Japanese? Does he know I'm from Japan too? He stood up, patting his chest to dust off the dirt.
Both sides stood in silence, staring at each other as the dust cloud dissipated.
"K****A, what do we do? We can't fight him in this state!"
Hearing the witch's panicky voice just made him even more angry. This life or death situation wouldn't have happened if you hadn't acted like an idiot, he screamed in his head.
There was no point in complaining, what's done is done. He just had to think about how he was going to get out of this mess.
Standing in front of them was a young man with short red hair, wearing what looked like a military uniform? It was black with eye-catching silver accents. But the strangest thing about him was his weird purple eyes with a black concentric circle pattern.
Hold on a minute, he recognized those eyes. That pattern and that color, he was damn sure it was the Rinnegan Doujutsu. One of the most famous eye powers in anime history. There was no way he could not recognize it.
Was this his "cheat" power? K****A's gaze sharpened with suspicion.
Nagato, standing across from them, was shocked. When he saw what these 4 people in front of him looked like! He knew them.
Why are they here? Isn't this the Naruto world? Why are there characters from Konosuba?! His brain raced, trying to find an answer to this strange situation.
And also, they had Chakra and Tenketsu?! What does this even mean? He activated one of the Rinnegan's abilities, which he called Miru. When Miru was activated, he would have the basic vision of the Byakugan, which was to see Tenketsu and objects clearly.
In the anime this ability didn't have a name, so he had recently named it Miru.
"Ugh"
The stabbing pain was still throbbing in his right hand and legs. They had just regenerated from some pretty serious damage.
His right hand was destroyed when he accidentally cut through that massive tree with his black rod. The rod he was holding couldn't take the high pressure and broke.
Yeah, and now he's here. The pain he felt was solid proof of his recklessness. Damn it, I'll be more careful next time, he thought with regret.
He turned his attention back to the four. What was he going to do with these guys? He thought these four people that suddenly appeared in the forest were Obito and his goons. But it turns out it's just characters from Konosuba, and it was just baffling. He kinda liked these guys, especially the dude in front of him.
So there was no way he'd kill them.
"Why did you suddenly attack us?"
The question came from the young man with brown hair in front of him. Looking at him, he seemed to be about 17 or 18 years old.
Right, the guy standing there was Kazuma Satou. The main protagonist from the anime Konosuba. He looked pretty much the same as his anime version in 3D.
Which made it easy for him to instantly recognize them.
He didn't respond directly to Kazuma's question, he focused his gaze on the three people standing behind him. All of them were on high alert.
Even Aqua and Darkness, who were known for being idiots, were on high alert.
Which got him wondering, why are they so cautious? With their anime personalities, they should be saying stuff like, 'My name is Megumin, an arch wizard from- or as a Goddess, I- or as a knight, I cannot forgive you-' right? Shouldn't they be doing something like that?
"You don't look like any kind of intruders… but looks can often be deceiving." Nagato said with a mocking tone, tilting his chin up while his slender fingers gently caressed it. His sharp gaze swept over each of the strangers from head to toe, seeming to analyze every inch of them. A faint smirk curved the corners of his lips.
"What's he talking about, Kazuma? I didn't understand a single thing he said." Darkness asked, having been silent this whole time.
Kazuma glanced at Darkness standing beside him. It's rare to see Darkness with that kind of expression.
"He said, 'You don't look like any kind of intruders… but looks can often be deceiving." he said.
My skills and magic spells aren't working either. Damn it, if I die again, that would be a real death.
He looked over at Aqua to his left. Aqua can't use her magic or her skills, and we don't know where the hell we even are. We need to try our best to avoid a fight.
This was probably the most dangerous situation he'd ever been in. His gaze was now fixed on the red-haired guy in front of them.
