Gunfire and explosions erupt around the Marine Contra's shadow clone as stray rounds, then projectile-based ninjutsu of every element lambasts his relative location. He retreats farther into the ruins in a full sprint as hot lead whistles past his head, puncturing the war-torn structures behind him. He hastens his escape using teleportation jutsu; however, the hordes of Red Zetsus and vengeful shinobi loom ever closer.
The abominations continue piling on the unfortunate ASF (Allied Shinobi Forces) personnel, muffling their agonizing cries for death as the flesh-eating ghouls bite then tear the flesh, limbs, and intestines from the shinobi's writhing bodies. The duplicate takes advantage of the carnage and confusion by casting genjutsu to mask his escape route before diving for cover within a dilapidated, high-rise apartment complex.
Nevertheless, another horrific spectacle greets him as he stumbles across a group of mutants consuming a shinobi of the Hidden Leaf Village (Konohagakure) alive, gasping in agony, unable to scream as the abominations tear the unfortunate soul's intestines from his body with a revolting slosh. The man falls unconscious, reaching out with his arm, perhaps pleading for mercy, while a Red Zetsu gnaws the flesh off the limb before ripping it from the torso.
'Trust me, comrade; I know precisely how that feels…' Jim's clone deadpans. He dashes past the macabre scene, grabbing the ammunition from the Konoha-nin's weapon. One of the zombie-like creatures arises from its gruesome feast, lunging at him; he smashes the Red Zetsu's skull with his Autogun's shoulder stock before loading the new magazine into the assault rifle. 'Darn! Only fourteen rounds!?' The cannibalistic fiend, already back on its feet, storms after him with a reinvigorated fanatic desire to consume his flesh.
He shifts over a series of one-hand seals, casting genjutsu upon an unsuspecting kunoichi of the Bloody Mist Village (Chigiri no Sato). The Chigiri-nin's super-human reflexes and experience enable her to detect the incoming charge. She slashes through the doppelganger with a bayonet, but her attack phases right through him. The Mist kunoichi screams, gargling blood as the Red Zetsu tackles her, sinking its rows of razor-sharp teeth into the woman's jugulars. He racks his Autogun's charging handle, alerting the shell-shocked ASF foot soldiers, taking defensive positions behind a ruined section of the hallway.
Before they can react, a round pierces through the first shinobi's heart, then his head; the next round splatters the upper half of the other's skull. Witnessing the gruesome deaths of his comrades, a shinobi from the Land of the Sky (Sora no Kuni) rushes the shadow clone. He aims and fires, but the Sora-nin evades with teleportation jutsu.
With a fierce battle cry, the Sky shinobi thrusts his sword at the replicate's neck. He shifts the tile beneath the assassin's feet, redirects the blade's path, and slams the Autogun's shoulder stock into his face. The clone slashes the dazed infantryman's jugular before thrusting the rifle's bayonet into his throat, twisting then ripping the blade aslant.
The duplicate stands before an open window, 'Oh, almost forgot about that…' A high-velocity round ruptures the log, substituting him into a flurry of splinters. 'Penisless sniper!' he sits below the window, against the wall, blurring over a chain of hand seals, "Earth Style: Mud Wall." A protective barrier forms down the corridor, blocking off the stampeding mutants and the sniper's line of sight. One of the mutants muddles through the mud wall; the shadow clone shoulders the Autogun and cracks his knuckles as the Red Zetsu approaches. He sidesteps the cannibalistic fiend; it face-plants onto a wall.
The doppelganger sweeps the abomination's legs off the floor, index and middle fingers extended at eye level while curling the rest into his palm. A stalagmite rockets from underground, impaling the mutant's skull as it falls back onto the jagged rock formation. He adjusts his glasses, then stalks the treacherous halls with a kunai ready, staying mindful of every shadow or dark corner. He detects an inbound chakra signature nearby but can't pinpoint its exact location. The clone clasps his hands; electricity surges along the surface, jolting the shinobi hiding beneath it.
"There!" he stomps the ground; a shinobi of the Hidden Stone Village (Iwagakure) launches from underneath a floor tile. An electric current arcs through the Iwa-nin's body, locking up his limbs as he slams head-first into the ceiling. The replicate drops into the splits, "Huhoogh!!" driving his fist into the poor man's groin.
"Toasty~!!"
The Stone shinobi's eyes bulge. He doubles over, writhing in pain, screaming in a ceaseless, high-pitched tone like an opera singer. The shadow clone's forefoot crashes into the Iwa-nin's chin, heaving him off the ground. He roundhouse kicks his jaw before sending him spinning through the air via tornado kick down a flight of stairs. The Red Zetsus dogpile on the shinobi the moment he lands.
"Detonate!" the duplicate says. An explosive tag on the Iwa-nin's back explodes, destroying and sealing off the stairwell—he shifts through a couple of hand seals, sidestepping an incoming sword slash. The ground beneath a Konoha-nin morphs into a cylindrical stone formation and rockets into his crotch. The doppelganger uses chakra control to bind the Leaf shinobi's neck to the bottom of his foot before stomping and breaking the infantryman's cervical vertebra against the floor.
He thrusts his leg back then around into a Chigiri-nin's trachea, crushing his throat. He swings the Mist shinobi into a back walkover, "Lightning Release: Fazing Flash Kick!" throwing both infantrymen, one after another, out a window, "Detonate!" They catapult through the air. The explosive tags, the clone stuck on their backs, ignite, dispersing flaming debris chunks at the sniper in a nearby building, setting her aflame. He draws his Autogun, aims, and empties its magazine into the flailing sniper's center mass.
He uses substitution jutsu to evade incoming machinegun fire from a kunoichi of the Village Hidden by Rain (Amegakure). The replicate reappears on her flank, thrusting his palm at the weapon's barrel, then the other palm upward into the Ame-nin's nose. He stuns her with a blow to the temple, then locks a Gable grip over the Rain kunoichi's head and shoulder. The shadow clone rolls backward on top of the struggling Ame-nin, and with an appalling crack, her body falls limp. He enhances his speed via teleportation jutsu, then ambushes another Leaf shinobi.
He masks his scent among the decaying bodies before staggering an Inuzuka with, "Lighting Release: Jolting Jigawatt Jutsu!" He drives his shoulder into the Konoha-nin's abdomen, shifts to the side, and slams his head onto the ground with a double-leg takedown. He seizes the Leaf shinobi's pistol from the holster and fires, killing a ninja hound as it tries to assist its master. The duplicate locks the thrashing Inuzuka in a D'Arce/Brabo choke, absorbing his chakra without restraint.
Every nociceptor within the Konoha-nin's body erupts, triggering a white-hot, searing sensation. The shinobi's skin pales as his body and anatomical features shrivel. The clone teleports away; the emaciated Inuzuka, almost a walking skeleton, shuffles to his feet. The doppelganger reappears, rushes forward, and kicks him through a wall, sending the Konoha-nin plummeting several meters off the skyscraper.
"Auf Wiedersehen, Inuzuka…" The shadow clone sprints down the corridors with several ASF grunts in full pursuit; he dashes past two shinobi. They aim and fire, but the rounds pass through a basic clone jutsu. 'Earth Style: Headhunter Jutsu!' They're pulled below the surface, exposing their heads; he resurfaces and dispatches a swift, robust kick, spinning their heads 360° with duel resounding cracks. "Fear the ground beneath you!" his eyes widen, "Argh!" as a Red Zetsu tackles him.
The flesh-eating ghoul's teeth wedge into a log; the second it stands, he reappears above, slamming an airborne ax kick onto the mutant's skull. The replicate lands, knees the Red Zetsu's chin, chains two elbow strikes to both sides of its head, and a left back fist onto the mutant's temple before ramming his knee through its sternum. He roundhouse kicks the cannibalistic fiend's jaw, swings his heel back into its temple, and sends the abomination flying with a spinning heel kick. He squishes the Red Zetsu's remains midflight between two cylindrical stone constructs from above and below via Earth Release.
The zombie-like creature's blood coats the back of a thunderstruck Uzushiogakure (Village Hidden by Whirling Tides) shinobi's head, enraging the Uzu-nin. The duplicate draws a blood-stained scroll from his flak jacket and teleports to escape the wrathful Whirlpool shinobi. In a swift blur, he appears at the shadow clone's former position, hunting down the object of his ire. With a crazed look in the Uzu-nin's eyes, he revs his chain sword before lunging around the cylindrical stone constructs after a silhouette.
The shinobi's bloodlust and excitement become fear and dread as a tall, gaunt figure stands before him, bones and veins visible under its thin brown skin. The ReDead's eyes glow through the two dark eye-holes in its reddish-orange mask before unleashing a paralyzing shriek that freezes the Uzu-nin in place. The ReDead jumps onto his back, wrapping its legs around the shinobi's waist, then squeezes his arms in a tight bear hug.
"Grawmp, Grawmp, Grawmp, Grawmp," bearing no remorse, the ReDead administers expeditious, robust pelvic motion upon the Uzu-nin.
The shinobi shrieks at the top of his lungs, "MY BACK!! MY BACK!! OH DATTEBAY—NO!! IT'S HUMPIN' MY BACK, DON'T Y'KNOW!!"
The doppelganger resurfaces from underground, staring the Uzu-nin dead in the eyes, "I bear you no remorse…" he raises his index and middle finger at eye level, curling the rest into the palm. The corridor wall opens, and a dozen Red Zetsus dogpile upon the ReDead, then the shinobi. He dives into the opening before resealing the aperture; the clone proceeds down the hallway and detects more chakra signatures nearby.
He slides, sweeping another Rain shinobi's legs from underneath him. The replicate dispatches a straight kick at the Ame-nin's chin, rolls, swings his heel onto the shinobi's jaw, and slams him with a head scissors takedown. He steals the Ame-nin's sidearm and fires a bullet through his eyeball.
Another Red Zetsu rushes the shadow clone; he leans back onto his shoulder blades. He extends and pinwheels his legs, sweeping the abomination off the ground. He captures the Red Zetsu midair between his boots before casting the mutant through the air with a head scissors throw. The cannibalistic fiend crashes into an unwary kunoichi, unlucky enough to stumble into the corridor at an inopportune moment, sending them both tumbling out an adjacent window. He presses the mag release on the Rain shinobi's sidearm, then pulls back the pistol slide, ejecting the chambered round.
After counting the ammunition, the duplicate loads the bullet into the magazine before reinserting it and pulling back the pistol slide; he holsters the weapon in his inventory and rushes up the side of a wall. He backflips onto the next floor and slams a Sky kunoichi onto the ground with another head scissors takedown, knocking her unconscious without a sound. The Stone kunoichi, stalking the halls, notices her battle buddy's absence; she looks over her shoulder and gasps at glowing bioluminescent eyes radiating through an eerie, reddish-orange wooden mask.
Before she can fire her weapon, a paralyzing shriek stuns the kunoichi in place. The ReDead grapples the screaming Iwa-nin's shoulders, shoving her against the wall. It grabs onto the drainage pipe above the kunoichi's head for leverage, then lunges upon her, now resting its cadaverous feet on the Iwa-nin's shoulders. With a firm grasp on the drainpipe, the ReDead clutches the back of the terrified woman's head with its free hand.
"Grawmp, Grawmp, Grawmp, Grawmp," the perverse zombie-like creature beats her in the face with its genitalless crotch, bowlegged and without shame, bumping the kunoichi's head into the wall with each pelvic thrust. The clone sneaks up beside her, aiming his pistol. The Iwa-nin's eyes widen, not noticing him until he toggles the safety switch.
"Hmm, nah; you're not even worth killing," he says. "I mean, let's face facts. We both know this isn't your first time taking a pounding to the face, and it won't be your last, assuming you don't die of chakra exhaustion or get eaten alive and *not* in a good way. Whichever comes first." The doppelganger holsters the firearm and walks off, leaving the kunoichi screaming his name in almost a psychotic rage. He chuckles, looking over his shoulder, "Tell you what, doll. If you survive, come find me, and I'll have you screaming my name under more *pleasurable* circumstances." He says with a lecherous smirk, then a wink before vanishing using teleportation jutsu.
The Sky kunoichi awakens from unconsciousness, stumbling back to her feet. She uses the wall for support, shuffling down the corridor while massaging the growing lump forming on her dome. The woozy Sora-nin's vision rebounds as she rounds the corner; however, the sight before her is something no amount of preparation nor desensitization the battle-hardened kunoichi can ever hope to anticipate. She sets her rifle against a wall; the woman rubs her eyes, hoping to amend the temporary blurriness plaguing her sight. The Sora-nin's vision adjusts.
She struggles to process if the appalling spectacle is indeed genuine. In front of her is what appears to be an emaciated corpse ram jam slam cramming its action figure-like crotch upon her battle buddy's face, bowlegged while waving around a cowboy hat it somehow found hanging on a rafter. The kunoichi's jaw drops; her eyebrows rise, and the woman's head tilts in sluggish realization. A chill slithers up her spine, "It-its—dry-humping her in the face—an-and then… it's going to dry-hump *me* in the face!" she says, hyperventilating while having a mild panic attack.
The ReDead gives her a thumbs up as if to say, 'You're goddamned Skippy!'
She shrieks in terror, "OH MY GOAAAWWWD!!!"
The Raging Stone kunoichi screeches with unfathomable fury, "What the hell are you doing!? Don't just stand there screaming! Do something, you idiot!!"
The replicate seals off the entryway to his location via Earth Release before proceeding toward the stairwell of the high-rise apartment complex. Using illusionary techniques and chakra-suppressing jutsu, he stalks his way upward, weary of traps, Red Zetsus, or ASF infantry waiting to ambush him. Silent as a ghost, he disarms the leftover hindrances and genjutsu, concealing any hazards along his path. He scavenges for supplies whenever possible; however, the abandoned weapons and equipment are unsalvageable, unusable, lack ammunition, or are leftover traps from a desperate last stand.
The structure rumbles around the shadow clone; distant explosions and machinegun fire beyond the walls falter under the unrelenting wails of flesh-eating ghouls. He approaches one of the many doors within the stairwell before pressing his ear against the entrance, listening for any indication of activity. After a single hand-seal, he taps his foot on the ground, pulsing a small surge of static waves along the surface, scanning for hidden hazards.
Much to the clone's astonishment, the entryway is clear, except for a few ASF personnel wandering about the corridors; he moves into the rooms without a sound, using noise cancelation jutsu to aid his burdensome endeavor. The duplicate detects the first shinobi ahead, then avoids him, choosing an alternate path to rest, remain undetected, and conserve chakra. He stabs a kunai with an explosive tag into the ground before concealing it with genjutsu to use as a proximity mine.
The duplicate readies his handgun, stalking along the path ahead. He halts near the corridor's intersection, drawing a blood-stained scroll from his inventory, 'Hmm, right here should be fine.' The shadow clone sits against the corner; without a sound, smoke appears in the previous hall. After placing a remote detonation explosive tag, he detects an incoming chakra signature, gunning straight for him. A paralyzing shriek disrupts the deafening silence as the sounds of grunting and groans of pain and a desperate struggle follow suit.
"Grawmp, Grawmp, Grawmp, Grawmp."
The doppelganger peeks around the corner; the sight before him drops his jaw. A ReDead has a Grey Beret (Anbu) pinned in the missionary position with his legs resting over the perverse creature's bony shoulders. It grasps the poor schmuck's thighs, not seein' nothin' wrong with a little bump and grind. More Anbu teleport before the ghastly spectacle. The clone covers his mouth, struggling to suppress his snickering as he imagines the look on each of their faces behind the pale porcelain masks. "DETONATE!!" the replicate sputters, howling with laughter.
