A clone shunshined above and held eight Hiraishin kunai in his fingers. "Kunai Kage Bunshin no Jutsu."
The Hiraishin kunai were scattered around in a pattern.
"John, you're ready?" Clone-Naruto asked.
The original Naruto was fighting Ashtha one on one diverting her attention. His kunai was no match for her Katana though as blood seeped from the nicked skin.
"Ready," John replied and clone Naruto placed a hand on his back and the both of them disappeared in an instant.
Ashtha was about to punch Naruto when a Crescent Eraser appeared out of nowhere. Flustered, she lashed out with her own Dark Eraser using her Katana. Naruto appeared behind her and kicked her away before another Crescent Eraser hit her this time.
The demon groaned when her breastplate split in two and blood gushed from a gash on her chest. Her skin regenerated and flawless pale skin was visible for a moment before a flare of purple energy covered it and died down to reveal a new breastplate.
"It's working!" Naruto yelled.
Ashtha finally took in her surroundings and saw they were all positioned at odd angles and knives were littered across the ground. She glared at John who flinched under her gaze but still held a firm grip on his sword.
"Alright, lets go!" Naruto yelled.
The assault began and Ashtha managed to dodge a few times before each attempt to hurt her became successful. She couldn't leave, she couldn't stop the barrage, the original Naruto made sure of it. This went on for a few minutes before it became a full-blown assault with no space to breathe.
"He's teleporting the hunter with him and I can't leave this place," she thought, staring at the clones at the edge of the solid earth the Uzumaki created.
"Then, I'll just have to destroy the ground."Ashtha jumped up and charged up a dark eraser. A clone threw his kunai at the beam and used guiding thunder to redirect it.
"Tch, this is harder than I thought."She mused.
A certain nasty Crescent Eraser got her and Naruto took the opportunity to land a perfect blow. They exchanged a brief bout of taijutsu which ended when Naruto kicked her away.
Ashtha spat a mouthful of blood and grinned, showing all her teeth. "God Style: Evil Vacuum Void."
The magic circle that threatened to split Naruto apart engulfed the artificial ground he created on a wide scale.
Naruto's eyes instantly bled purple and he held his hand out. He could take that kind of attack but John would be ripped to shreds. He doesn't stand a chance.
"Dometsu: Shines Tensei!" Naruto intoned, creating a gravitational field barrier around him and John.
The barrier held on and protected them from the lethal attack.
Naruto stood his ground, pondering on a hard decision
.
"Should I bust it out or not. At this rate, I finally understand that only attacks that can affect something on an atomic level can damage this guy."
"Oi, Naruto. I have something to tell you. Forget about bringing 'that' to the fight."Kurama tapped his jinchūriki with his claw inside the mindscape gaining his attention.
Naruto was pondering so hard, he didn't notice Ashtha coming until John called his attention.
Naruto threw his fist out in pure reflex, halting Ashtha's fist. His eyes widened when he felt two souls inside the body. He tried to pry further but he was pushed out violently.
Naruto and Ashtha gasped as they withdrew their fist. John used his sword to chase her away.
"That was what I was trying to warn you about. It seems you're too worked up to notice when you bumped fists with her until now."Kurama remarked.
"What did you do?! What were you trying to do?!"Ashtha screamed.
John stared at her in confusion. Both super-beings seemed wary of each other now.
"Oi, Naruto, I have a plan."Kurama's tails swished around as he lay his head on his paw.
"I'm listening,"he replied inside the mindscape.
.
.
.
A few moments later.
"John, remember, you have only one chance," Naruto told him after explaining the plan.
John nodded and took a step back.
Naruto summoned a clone and both went through a few hand seals and finished with the tiger seal. "Kombijutsu: Suiton/Raiton, Suirairyuudan no Jutsu!" They both yelled, creating a massive dragon made out of water and lightning. It raced towards Ashtha but she dodged it and evaporated it with a beam when it turned around like a honing on her like a homing device was installed on it. The technique dispersed to little bubbles and surrounded Ashtha. They all exploded creating a smokescreen.
"Now, John!" Naruto yelled.
John released a battle cry and dashed forward. He saw the unmistakable silhouette of his sister's possessed form and thrust his blade. Harshblade was a millimetre away from stabbing her from the gut before she blurred out of existence and stabbed John in the gut.
"No, John!" Naruto yelled, running forward.
She smirked as she drove the knife deep into his gut. John coughed up blood, his eyes wide with horror. Ashtha smirked and placed a hand on his shoulder and drove the sword in even further when John suddenly turned into lightning and shocked her. Naruto appeared right in front of her and placed his palm on her chest. "I hope this works,"he thought.
Ningendo!"Naruto yelled.
It was just like that time back in the alley, Ashirok felt a pull but this pull wasn't on his soul, no, it was on Martha's soul. His eyes went wide like saucers when he realised what was happening. Ashtha pulled the soul back into his body but Naruto never relented.
"You're going to damage her soul!"she yelled
Squelch.
John drove Harshblade through her heart when she wasn't looking. "It's worth trying. Pull my sister out of there, Naruto!"
Naruto roared and jumped back all of a sudden when he noticed he was inside Ashtha's inner world. A white chain connected to Martha's soul which was also linked to Ashirok's hands glowed.
"You think you can drag her soul away from me?! What fate has joined together, let no man put asunder!"Ashirok yelled, yanking at the chain with all his strength.
Naruto sighed as he was pulled back against his will, feeling his own soul getting pulled along. His sigh was a nostalgic one, chuckling as he was being dragged without a single ounce of panic on his face.
"Why are you laughing? You finally realize how everything you do is, before me; hopeless?"Ashirok asked.
