Chapter 34: When Insanity hits the pan, the Pan hits the fire. The fire then hits the man, and the man dies.

[3rd Person Pov]

2 figures could be seen flying above a group of 4 unsuspecting ninjas. Obviously, those two figures were Alysha and Itachi.

"I'm not sure if this is a good plan. Besides, how did you get Pain to give us a 'vacation'?" Itachi asked Alysha with a questioning gaze, to which she simply sticked out her tongue and said "Ah~, a bit of 'convincing' and some more 'convincing' did wonders for that guy~. Ah... I hope I didn't ruin the storyline... probably not though~!" 

Itachi sighed and said "Look, It's already hard to believe that you know the future, but seriously? You travel between dimensions?" Alysha had spent an entire day telling him of everything she knew at the costly price of a month's worth of 'I say this, and you do what I say'. 

"Ah! Shut up! I already said it's the truth! Besides, what does it really matter~? As long as I have fun and I have a nice meal once in a while, the world can explode for all I care. I'd just change dimension or something after all~." She said as if throwing a tantum. 

Thankfully, the 4 figures under them didn't seem to notice them. Correction: They couldn't see them, as they were currently in Alysha's lunar dimension. Alysha and Itachi had been following these 4 figures ever since they left the village, and have been debating wether to do something or not. In the end, Alysha won by default due to her being an annoying bitch. Or at least that's what Itachi thought whilst grumbling after seeing her puppy eyes.

"Nyahahaha!! I can finally begin my 'Plan of Evil 101'!!!! I'll traumatize those kiddos so much!!!" she laughed maniacally, before stopping when she noticed a certain someone staring at her with cold eyes. "Ah, except Sasuke~. Just a bit though, as I'm sure you don't want him becoming all 'I'm the best and you suck'~." 

Itachi humphed and looked away. Over the past months they spent together, they had grown quite close. Unfortunately, the sword addict died a tragic death by the hands of fate some time ago [The guy wasn't even in the manga...] and fish-guy would be joining them after their little vacation.

Alysha waved her hand and another mirror appeared. Inside of it, Kakashi, Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto were seen walking together carefreely. She giggled a bit when they got attacked by the puddle idiots, only for the puddles to be totally destroyed. Itachi smiled slightly at the not-so-funny, cringeworthy, not-so-heroical, Naruto-style save-Sakura scene.

"Nee~, Itachi, mind waiting for me here for a bit? I wanna go and just kill them a bit. Not much, don't worry. Don't even say it, I won't touch your brother, you bro-con." She said before Itachi even had the chance to open his mouth, which he promptly shut after hearing her. He nodded and laid down, closing his eyes whilst mumbling 'At least it's better then sleeping on tress'. Well, the Lunar World could be anything Alysha wanted, which currently was candy-land with sugar cotton as the earth. She giggled and left the place.

Meanwhile, Kakashi and the baby ninjas were walking silently. Suddently, Kakashi turned to their client and asked "Well? Wasn't this supposed to be a C-rank mission?" 

The man quickly became nervous and said "W-well..." But Kakashi added "Say the truth, or you'll never speak again. I'm not risking them for this."

The man sighed and said "Yes. Well, we are building a bridge-" "You were going to build a bridge somewhere, bad guy showed up, said 'Don't build a bridge as it's bad for my money!', but you want a bridge, so you go and get some half-assed ninjas to help you build a bridge. Bridges bridgily bridge, what bridge will you grant me? Ah shit, I meant genie... What was the song already? I forgot... Ah wait! I can't forget things though. What's going on? Eh..." 

A feminine voice suddently boomed out from all around them, making them jump in suprise. Kakashi quickly got into a stance and said "Who are you?! Where are you?". Sasuke also took out his kunais, whilst Naruto and Sakura frantically tried not to piss themselves.

The man himself was also terrorized, but he seemed composed and said "Are you an agent of Gato?", only for the voice to say "Eh? What Gato? Is it tasty? Nyahaha... shit, I love this new laugh!! Ah! No sidetracks... Nain, not Gato. Bad guys, but not fattie bad guys. Good bad guys... Eh? What side am I on? Fucking philosophy... Fuck a duck! Joke's over! Abracadabra, and here I am!" The voice said and a strange... door? mirror? suddently appeared in front of them.

Kakashi, Naruto and Sasuke all stood in position, waiting for the enemy to come out. And out it came. A 16 years old girl with long, silver hair came out. Though that wasn't really the weirdest part, as that was the cat ears, 4 tails and 4 wings. 

"Nyahaha!! Bad guy... Bad cat? Bad girl? Evil Being! Yes, Evil Being! Evil Being number 123 has appeared! Fear me! Ah shit, I'm so immature... I can live with it though. I'm already messed up in the head after all. If I cut it off, will I become sane? I should try that later..." She mumbled before looking at them again with a smile full of love.

"How'dy, Snacks! I'm Evil Being 123 and I'm here to make your life miserable because I'm evil! Buuuu, fear me~!"

As the strange girl made a fool of herself, Kakashi drily commented "Is she a comedian?", which she somehow heard and immediately said "Ah! That made my heart skip a beat~! What a great compliment! Nain though, I no comedian, I Evil Being 123! Now, Snacks, What was the plan? Ah yes, I have to make your life miserable! Well, I can kill you all, but that's not the plan." She said in a now serious tone, to which everyone tensed up.

As she was about to speak again, a katana suddently flew and cut off her head. Naturally, it came from Kakashi. He idly commented "Well, that was weird...", before putting his katana back in the sheat and turning around, walking back towards his group.

"Nyahahaha! Now I know that I'll remain insane even without a head!! It kinda hurt though, so now I'll make 2x as miserable~! Rejoice!" A voice came from behind Kakashi, making him freeze with wide eyes.

He slowly turned around and found a girl... with a head attached. No signs of having ever been cut off. She clapped her hands happily and said "Yay, congrats! You have met an immortal~! Welcome to the realm of insanity~, I hope you enjoy your stay~! Well, badguyZabusawillcomeandtrytokillyouallbecausehegothiredbyfattietokillyouallduetoeconomicreasonIdontknow." She said in one whole breath. 

Taking another deep breath, she quickly said "Evilbeing123willalsobetherebecausebanterandnootherreasonsreallysorry. PleasedontkillZabusabecausehesmyfavouritecharacterandhesactuallynicesodontkillhimplease." She said again. Smiling and wagging her tails playfully, she stuck out her tongue and said "Well, there's that. You're life is miserable now, because I know you're dying of curiousity... Ah wait... I want you to suffer lots of pain though... Ahahaha.... Wait, it's Nyahaha.... I want to rip you to pieces... Ah shit, retreat!!" She said and a silver portal quickly appeared behind her, where she promptly jumped in. 

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

Inside said portal, Itachi was staring at a panting Alysha with raised eyebrows. She moaned and said "Fuck, I need to kill someone quick or I'll fucking go insane!" Itachi shook his head and said "You're a lost case. You're already insane."

She fell down crying crocodile tears for a couple seconds, before jumping in another portal.

She thus appeared next to a training octopus Jinchuriki. He jumped back at the sudden appearance and took out his... many swords? Not the one in his pants though, as that one's probably too small.

"Nyahahahahahhaha!! How do you do Octodad! I'm a newby 4 tailer and I'm here to torture you to relieve myself of my insanity! Hopefully you won't die! Die!" She roared and jumped at the confused octopus. He quickly parried her hit, only to be flung back towards the rock wall nearby. 

"Nyahahaha! Octopus, I thought you were stronger then this!? Where's all the sword dancing shit you're supposed to use against Itachi's little one!? Are you seriously this weak!? Fucking god! Ah, just kidding! Thanks god for everything you did~. Wait... maybe I should finally speak to her?" She said whilst casually waving a sword that came flying towards her. The sword instantly disintegrated, making B, who just got up, grit his teeth.

"Yo, I don't know who you are, but what do you want with me-o?" He said in his rap-voice that doesn't really rap. 

"Eh? Right. What was I doing here again? Ah... I want sushi! Like that time in fishland... Hey, mind turning into an octopus and giving me a tentacle for dinner? Wait, perfect 'I've seen too much hentai to know where this is going' joke time!" She said and laughed maniacally.

Suddently, a figure blurred in front of Alysha and she was flung back towards another wall, which she smashed into. As the figure slowly appeared, B cried out "Bro! Thanks for coming!". Yes, the figure was the Kage of the village, the Raikage. He grunted a "What the hell are you doing B!? Why are you two even fighting!?"

"Ah! That's my fault! Sorry! I had a fit of insanity and I just had to kill someone! Well, really, I just had to vent myself and say a couple of memes for it to stop, but killing people is more fun, right!?" A voice came out from the hole the raikage punched the girl into. He looked at said hole and found a girl with perfectly intact clothes and not a single bruise on her body.

"Sorry~, I can't really kill anyone here or the plot's gonna get fucked up. Isn't it bothersome? I think I'll just go on a random world next and kill everyone there. It's quite boring to have to follow fate's rules, isn't it?" She said with a smile, before taking a sword out of nowhere and throwing it towards B.

"That was the sword I broke. Sorry for that~, no hard feelings between us, kay~?" She said and fell into the ground...? The two brothers simply looked at each other, somewhat confused. 

Reappearing inside of the Lunar World, Alysha happily skipped a couple thousand kilometers in a bunch of seconds, appearing right next to a daydreaming Itachi, scaring him a bit. 

"Nyahaha! I have arrived! Fear me!" She said whilst putting her hands to her waist and spreading out her wings, trying to make an imposing image, which just came out as a mixture of dumbness and cuteness.

"Seriously? Please stop scaring me like that." Itachi said with cold eyes. Alysha somewhat flinched and said "Come on now. Can't you be a bit more fun?" He simply humphed once again and laid down again.

She sighed sadly and said "If you want to leave, just tell me now. Look, I'm sorry I forced you into this 'vacation', but I... just wanted someone to play with me..." She said, looking at him with hopeful eyes. He simply shook his head and said "I can tolerate your desires for mass-murder, but I'm not like you. I don't kill for fun, so I'll pass."

That... hurt more then she expected. Smiling a sad smile without any craziness in it for the first time in a while, she left the lunar world once again, going only god knows where to do god forbids what. Oh, the True God approved by the way.

After a couple of days, Alysha was currently staring inside of a mirror. Inside of it, Kakashi and Zabusa were fighting for the second time. Meanwhile, she could also see the jonins fighting each other in their little meaningless kunai-throwing frenzy that they called a battle. 

She entered her mirror and appeared in a tree nearby, undetected by either parties. There, she sat down and waited for the show to finish, so she could enact her plan of violently killing and torturing the mercenaries that the fattie should hire, thus showing Naruto the darker side of the world.

As she watched the battle between Kakashi and Zabusa finally finish by Kakashi trapping Zabusa using some dogs and attacking him with his lightning first thingie.

What she didn't expect however was for the tool kid to suddently jump in front of the supposed killing blow and save Zabusa at the cost of his life.

She simply... froze. Her mouth was hanging open and her brain had frozen. When she came back to her senses, Zabusa had broken down crying, and was asking for a kunai from Naruto. 

She knew she should have known. No, she had known this would happend, but she didn't expect it would affect her so much. She couldn't help but feel a tinge, no, a lot of jealousy and yet a lot of happiness towards those two. She never had anyone coming to her aid when someone stabbed her, nobody ever saved her when the doctors were cutting him up, nobody ever cried with her when she broke down crying once, only fake words to make her feel better, and that was only to avoid her wrath. 

Nobody ever saw her anything other then a mindless killing machine, a psycopathic monster that should die. Perhaps Itachi, but he rarely ever talked to her on his own accord, and even then he did say that he wasn't like her, which for her meant he rejected her in a way.

Slowly raising a hand over her face, she noticed that it was slightly wet. She was crying after all, huh. That hadn't happened in quite a number of years. Was she always this moody? Since when did her emotions run this level of rampant? Was it the effect of hormones? No, she never had hormon problems before though. Was the lonely, broken soul inside of her showing it's colors?

Perhaps. However, she now knew what she wanted to do. She jumped down and glided from her tree to where Zabusa and the kid were lying on the ground, arriving just as Zabusa was drawing his last breath.

Even though Kakashi saw her, he didn't move from his position and only said "So you knew this would happen, huh..." In a sad tone. She simply nodded and said "Y-yeah... I-I just didn't... I didn't expect it to be like this. This isn't what I wanted... Please, can I have their bodies? I need to try something..."

Backing away, Kakashi faced the rest of the mercenary troops that had come with the fatty. He had sensed the arrival of the strange girl, but when he saw her tear-stained face, he thought that something was up. 

Putting a hand on both of the two corpse's chests, Alysha began to concentrate. She had an idea that might work, but she wasn't exactly sure. She simply created a reflection of the two and fused it with their bodies, making them living zombies. She then ordered them 'Regain your free will' and then backed away.

Slowly, the two supposed-dead idiots opened their eyes, clear confusion evident on their faces. Alysha smiled slightly and whispered "Be thankful, slaves, for your love for each other. N-now you're my slaves, and that's what you get for being such idiots! Stupid! Retards! Cretins! Fools! Bastards!" She uttered curse after curse and then disappeared into the earth, leaving two people that should be dead, alive.

Inside of the Lunar World, Alysha simply made a bed out of nowhere and hid herself in it, silently crying tears of envy. 

'Why is nobody ever there for me? Sure, I have Asu, but... he doesn't really understand me, and he isn't here. Why did nobody ever question why I'm insane? I know I'm a hypocrite, but I can't help but wonder...

The world is truly a cruel place...'
