FILLER CHAPTER: The Nether Crisis in Konoha
---
Konoha was supposed to be normal. Peaceful. A place where ninjas trained, civilians lived their lives, and nothing out of the ordinary happened—except for Naruto causing daily chaos.
But today…
Something was wrong.
Very, very wrong.
---
SYSTEM ERROR: Reality Shift Detected
Sasuke Uchiha stood in the middle of the village, staring at something no one else could see.
The entire Konoha had transformed. Buildings, roads, trees—even people—had become blocky, reddish, and pixelated. It was as if the village had been swallowed by a different dimension.
DING!
> [SYSTEM ERROR: Nether Reactor Activated]
Warning! A Nether Core has been placed in the village center!
The world is shifting into Nether Mode.
Stop it before Konoha is permanently corrupted.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes. What the hell was happening?
He turned to Naruto, who was grinning like an idiot as usual.
"Oi, Sasuke! You look like you've seen a ghost. What's up?"
Sasuke stared. The entire village was now a blocky nightmare, mobs were appearing out of thin air, and yet—Naruto saw none of it?
"Tch. Of course he doesn't."
"Come with me," Sasuke said flatly.
"Huh? Where?" Naruto blinked.
"We need to stop a… thing."
Naruto scratched his head. "What kind of thing?"
Sasuke sighed. "You wouldn't understand."

The Village is Under Attack
As Sasuke and Naruto moved deeper into Konoha, the Nether corruption spread.
Suddenly—a groaning noise.
A Husk crawled out of an alley, its dried-out body moving unnaturally.
Sasuke tensed. "Naruto. Get ready."
"Huh? Ready for what?" Naruto looked around. "It's just an empty street—"
SCREEECH!
The Husk lunged.
Sasuke slashed with his sword—SHINK! The mob burst into pixels, dropping rotten flesh.
Naruto blinked. "Uhhh… What exactly are we fighting?"
Sasuke ignored him.
More Husks appeared. Dozens. Crawling out of the shadows, growling, eyes glowing red.
"Tch. They keep coming," Sasuke muttered.
Naruto, still completely blind to what was happening, just shrugged and punched the air. "YEAH! You tell 'em, Sasuke! Beat those… uh… things!"
Sasuke sighed. This was going to be a long day.

Deeper Into The Village
As they fought their way through the endless mobs, the Nether Reactor's influence grew stronger.
Fire began spreading.
Buildings were now made of Netherrack.
Villagers had turned into Zombie Piglins.
The air smelled like sulfur and ash.
Naruto still didn't notice.
"Man, is it just me, or is Konoha feeling a little… warm?" he said, wiping sweat from his forehead.
Sasuke glared. "Naruto. We are literally standing in a hell dimension."
"Pfft, what are you talking about? It's just a normal day." Naruto grinned.
Behind him, a Ghast floated above the Hokage Monument.
Sasuke pinched the bridge of his nose. How was he even supposed to explain this?
DING!
> [New Objective: Destroy the Nether Reactor Core]
Location: Beneath Konoha.
Sasuke smirked. "So that's where it's hiding."
He turned to Naruto. "We need to go underground."
Naruto blinked. "Why?"
"To punch something."
Naruto grinned. "Ohhh, I like that."

The Descent Into The Depths
Sasuke led the way, breaking through a cracked sewer entrance beneath Hokage Tower.
They climbed down, down, down, the air growing hotter, the walls shifting from stone to Nether Bricks.
Then—they saw it.
In the center of a massive underground cavern…
A massive Nether Reactor Core pulsed ominously.
It was built entirely of Obsidian and glowing red blocks. Energy crackled around it, sending waves of corruption through the village above.
Naruto squinted. "Sasuke… are you sure we're not just in the basement of Ichiraku Ramen?"
Sasuke groaned. This idiot…
Suddenly—
A portal opened.
A horde of mobs spilled out.
Husks. Zombie Piglins. Magma Cubes.
And then—
A Wither Skeleton stepped forward.
Its sword glowed purple.
Sasuke's Sharingan activated immediately. "Tch. Here we go."
Naruto still saw nothing. But he saw Sasuke getting serious—so naturally, he got serious too.
"I don't know what we're fighting, but LET'S GO!" Naruto charged in.
Sasuke sighed. Good enough.

Final Battle: The Nether Guardian
The Wither Skeleton swung its sword, releasing a wave of dark energy.
Sasuke blocked with his own blade—CLANG! Sparks flew as he pushed back.
DING!
> [BOSS FIGHT: Nether Guardian]
Health: 300 HP
Abilities: Wither Slash, Firestorm, Nether Summon
Sasuke dodged as a fireball exploded behind him.
Naruto, completely unaware, just punched the air.
"Yeah, take that! And this!" Naruto shouted, shadowboxing absolutely nothing.
Sasuke gritted his teeth. I don't have time to explain!
He used Fire Style: Phoenix Flame Jutsu—BOOM! Fire engulfed the Wither Skeleton, but it didn't die.
It raised its sword—a wave of black fire shot out.
Sasuke dodged. Barely.
"Tch. If I can't kill it directly—"
His eyes locked onto the Nether Reactor Core.
"The source of all this."
Sasuke rushed forward.
---
Destroying the Nether Core
Naruto followed. "Wait, are we running away?! I was just starting to win!"
"SHUT UP AND RUN."
Sasuke jumped onto the Reactor Core's platform.
The ground shook violently.
The Core glowed brighter—the corruption was reaching its peak.
DING!
> Destroy the Core Before Time Runs Out!
Sasuke pulled out his sword.
"This better work."
SLASH!
The sword pierced the core.
For a second—nothing happened.
Then—
A massive explosion of light erupted.
The Nether Reactor shattered into pieces, sending a shockwave across Konoha.
Everything went white.
---
Konoha Returns to Normal
Sasuke blinked.
The blocky, reddish world was gone.
Konoha was back to normal.
Buildings were intact. People were fine. No Husks. No Wither Skeletons. No Ghasts screaming in the sky.
Naruto yawned.
"Well, that was boring."
Sasuke glared at him. Did he really not notice anything?!
Naruto stretched. "Anyway, let's get some ramen."
Sasuke sighed. "Fine."
As they walked away, Sasuke glanced back and smiled internally
