Enter ExE
III
“My name is Naruto Ōtsutsuki. And I am the one who will put you down.”
As Naruto expected, his opponent responded to his taunt with violence. Faster than any regular Deity could react, he was right in front of Naruto, his right arm transformed into a simple blade. His intention was clear, to decapitate Naruto.
And he backed off without missing a beat when his blade clashed with Naruto’s katana. But Naruto knew it was not his block that made his enemy retreat. Still, this single collision was quite a revelation for Naruto.
His opponent not only had unique skills but also was quite experienced in battles. And, his opponent was…
“Interesting,” Regalzeva took a more cautious stance. Even with Naruto’s unique Rinnegan, he had difficulty reading his opponent’s facial expression, “You can manipulate ‘Reality’.”
“And your domain falls under ‘Time Manipulation’.”
“No reaction,” Naruto smiled. At least he was able to pinpoint his opponent’s core domain.
It was simple, really. Naruto had created an ‘Absolute Domain’ around him using his ‘Reality Manipulation’. When one entered the area, they would not be able to use their abilities if they relied on core concepts of a world. Because in that small area, his power was absolute.
Of course, it did not work that well against strong opponents such as the one in front of him. Still, it was advantageous when it came to identifying his opponent’s domain. From the moment one stepped inside his area, he could feel the connection as his opponents would try to subconsciously wrestle him for control of that conceptual domain.
As the saying went, knowledge was just as powerful as strength.
Unfortunately, he could not use this technique against opponents of this caliber since the cons outweighed the pros. One major issue was that it required constant focus and put a heavy toll on his mind, something that would definitely put him in a disadvantageous situation during a battle. The other weakness was that this technique could not block long-range fast attacks, even if they had indirect links to concepts.
And he could tell that this particular opponent would utilize that technique's weaknesses once he found them.
But before all this, he needed to clarify, “Why do you fight?”
“And why does it matter to you?”
Naruto waved his unarmed hand around him, “Our world has done nothing to you. I mean, today is the first time that we have met. And yet, you seek war against us.”
“Does an Empire need a reason to expand its territory? To subjugate the lesser?”
“What a twisted bastard, ey partner?”
Naruto let out a serene smile, “So it seems, Kurama.”
Naruto took a deep breath as he steadied his heartbeat.
Unlike what anyone else had said, he knew that he was not perfect.
His mindset, his view on the world, his approach toward enemies… they were flawed. He acknowledged it. Regardless he still held onto that belief, both in the past and the present, since it was his ‘Nindo’. It was his belief, a flawed one, that many people could be saved through words and compassion instead of fists and might, regardless of their origins.
Yes, his belief was not perfect, but it was not completely wrong either. After all, his way of handling his enemies got him quite a few friends and favors. One prime example was his partner, Kurama. The Biju, who was rejected by everyone gave all of his powers and wisdom to help Naruto achieve his dreams, regardless of the consequences. His partner gave him his unconditional support until the very end.
Still, there was no denying that one needed the power to back up their beliefs.
But there was another harsh truth that Naruto had to accept. In every world, there existed many who were beyond saving. Their sole purpose was to create a living hell by burning everyone and everything around them. They seek power, glory, and wealth only to achieve this. Naruto had personally witnessed the undisguised cruelty and malice they were capable of.
And that is why he had changed his ‘Nindo’. It was not much, he just added a single new rule.
Beings who want nothing but death and destruction, against them Naruto would give his all with the sole purpose of stopping them in any way. If it meant putting them under six feet below the ground, so be it.
And his opponent in front of him was one such individual.
‘Clash of Hearts’.
A technique he learned from Shiva and honed with the help of his friends.
A single clash to glance at the nature of his opponent’s heart. One strike to learn how much taint his opponent possessed. Yes, this technique would not be able to draw the full picture for him about his opponent; but, in certain situations, it would illustrate more than enough. After all, he did not have the luxury to slowly uncover his opponent’s mindset and ambition in some battles. He needed to know where his opponents stood and how to deal with them as quickly as possible.
And this single clash showed Naruto the malice this being possessed. Malice that Regalzeva had gained by spilling the blood of billions. This was the first time he was sensing malevolence of this caliber. Not even Juubi of his old world possessed such an obnoxious aura.
Such an individual would only spill more blood as long as they lived. Then it hit him. Was this the reason Ophis locked that universe? Because they had beings such as this. Was this the same case for all other locked universes?
“We should use the ‘Fifth Fang’.”
“No, we start with the ‘Second Fang’.”
Naruto could feel Kurama frowning, “I thought you wanted to take him out, permanently.”
“Yes, but we need to assess his abilities further to figure out how we can land the decisive blow. After all, if his time manipulation is as good as I think it is, he can reverse the damage,” Naruto telepathically pointed at Regalzeva, “Look at the opponent in front of us. Just like us, he is also coming up with multiple plans to land a clean strike to end me.”
“Then we should start.”
Naruto nodded before undoing the reverse edge of his katana and finally moving forward, “Keep an eye out for his abilities, partner.”
“Leave it to me.”
This made Naruto smile. It was like the old times.
With the help of Amun-Ra, he finally created the soul for his divine weapon ‘Kurama’ a few months ago. Of course, he created this soul based on his best friend from his old world. While the form was similar to the old one, he did not forcefully inject any personality into the new Kurama. After all, the soul of his divine weapon was a different being than the Biju of his old world.
And he realized within a few weeks after he created the soul that it was the right decision. The new Kurama’s form changed as he started to grow a personality. Instead of that unique orange fur, Kurama now had bright silver fur similar to his own hair. Personality-wise, his temper was there, but it was more subdued. But what stood out the most was his mindset toward battle and war. While he lacked experience, he was exceptionally talented in deciphering the enemies’ battle styles and abilities.
Something that he would be relying on during this battle.
The moment he moved forward, so did Regalzeva. But instead of heading toward him, he created some distance. Naruto knew the reason. Since Naruto activated ‘Second Fang: Mukei no Ken’, his katana became invisible. It was not a simple invisibility. He trained this form to the point that even regular Rinnegan would not be able to easily sense his weapon.
And that was only the first part of the form.
Naruto immediately gave chase since had no intention of giving Regalzeva any space. His katana vibrated, “His body is going through changes.”
Naruto frowned, “I can see that.” Yes, he could see that those minuscule robots in his body were morphing. But he could not figure out their objective.
“They are probably taking a defensive formation. Of what kind, I cannot tell.”
“Let’s find out, shall we?”
When Naruto reached Regalzeva, he immediately had to backstep to create some distance. His opponent had created an ‘Absolute Domain’ of his own using time manipulation. But it was not stable enough.
Naruto swung his katana. Even though he was far away, the blade extended and cut through the domain. His opponent moved away at the very last moment, barely dodging the slash.
“Precognition.”
“Take care of it.”
With that, he followed Regalzeva while making a stabbing motion in his direction. A simple and predictable attack. And as expected, Regalzeva sidestepped.
And yet, his chest got pierced; because the blade of his katana twisted its form in the mid of his attack.
But what surprised Naruto was that his katana could not pierce all the way through.
“Adaptability. His skin became extremely resistant against pierce and slash damage.”
Naruto moved away from his position as multiple dark purple orbs appeared around him. They disappeared instantly, only to reappear beside him. Naruto dodged again while creating a Rasengan. He threw it immediately when he sensed those purple orbs trying to reform around him.
The Rasengan shattered, releasing hundreds of tiny ones. All of which clashed with the orbs when they reappeared once again. And all of his Rasengan grew in size and then dissolved within two seconds.
“Time acceleration.”
Naruto clicked his tongue before teleporting away to dodge the strike from Regalzeva, who had appeared behind him. His right hand transformed into a blade while his left hand released purple energy.
“He is trying to immobilize your movement by restricting the time around you.”
“Switch to First Fang.”
His Katana became visible as the shape of the blade started to change from smooth silver steel to rough black edges. When the transformation was complete, Naruto rushed toward Regalzeva once again.
The moment the orbs appeared again, Kurama warned, “There will be strong resistance.”
Naruto immediately gripped his katana with both hands and put more force behind his stance. With this, he cut through Regalzeva’s orbs by absorbing their energy. It was more like he destabilized the energy of the orbs before shattering them with pure strength since this form was not strong enough yet to absorb the energy of a concept completely.
And his opponent did not sit still as he immediately took flight, keeping enough distance from Naruto while continuously throwing those orbs.
“Is he waiting for a slip?”
Whatever it was, Naruto was sure that Regalzeva was waiting for something. That meant Naruto had to push harder, “Switch to Seventh Fang.”
Immediately the scales fell off as if his katana was shedding skin. And this time, the blade had an ominous crimson hue instead of its usual silver steel color. Now, instead of sapping on the energy of his enemy, his weapon would be feeding on his life force.
And to catch up to Regalzeva, Naruto knew exactly what technique to rely on.
“We are going to rely on Hiraishin.”
His enemy could barely move away as Naruto appeared behind him and tried to land a heavy attack. Still, this maneuver got a single cut in.
He still had to mark a spot to use Hiraishin. But he was able to upgrade the process. Instead of marking using special weapons and Fuinjutsu, Naruto could mark any spot using his Rinnegan.
This was quite a step up from his father’s version, but the downside was that he needed two seconds to recharge. It might not be much from an average human’s perspective, but in battles between Godlike beings, it was too long. Still, the saving grace was that the mark stayed for quite a while, and the teleportation was almost untraceable.
One more teleportation to land another cut.
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
In response, Regalzeva released a shockwave which Naruto cleanly cut, but still, he had to back off as his enemy surrounded himself with those purple orbs.
His enemy immediately used this gap as his form started to change. His right hand became a medium-sized shield, while his left hand transformed into a short blade. And from the back, two thinner but longer arms appeared, each holding a scepter.
A perfect form to counter Naruto’s fighting style. But Naruto was used to fighting against beings who countered him.
Naruto dashed and swung his katana. Regalzeva immediately raised his shield while the scepters behind him fired those flesh-eating arrows from before. But in mid-swing, Naruto disappeared, appeared behind his enemy, and landed another shallow cut.
He was able to land four more hits like this before he realized something, “He is restoring his lifeforce.”
They kept going at each other without stopping for a single breath. But even with such viciousness, they were in a stalemate. Regalzeva could not land any blow, whereas Naruto’s attacks were not leaving any lasting damage.
And the first one to break it off was Regalzeva.
“You are quite bothersome,” Regalzeva stopped as his back arms disappeared while his regular arms changed back to normal.
“I aim to please,” Naruto replied as he immediately started condensing his energy. He could sense that something was coming.
“You are a versatile warrior. I will acknowledge that,” Regalzeva raised his arm as cracks started forming all around them, “But you lack true power.”
In an instant, everything around them turned white.
“Age of the First Star.”
Then everything turned black. All around them was nothing but an empty space, except for the gigantic sun made of black and white flame. In this realm, no color existed except for black and white. Even the colors on Regalzeva and Naruto’s bodies became heavily saturated.
“It is not that I lack true power,” Naruto’s tone was cold as he slowly hovered toward Regalzeva, whose arms changed back to blades, “I just don’t see a need to throw around ‘Star-buster’ just because I am agitated.”
Just as he said, the attack from Regalzeva just now was enough to destroy a sizable solar system. And the dangerous part was that he pulled it off effortlessly. Still, it showed Naruto that his opponent was highly proficient in ‘Time Manipulation’. Neither he nor Kurama understood the concept behind the attack, but somehow Regalzeva tried to create a crack in time and space, causing a disruption in that natural order, strong enough to create an explosion of this caliber.
But what Regalzeva failed to realize was that in Dimensional Gap, their domains were not absolute. One could be the literal God of Death in their universe, but the moment they stepped inside Dimensional Gap, they would become just another individual who could use ‘Death Manipulation’. So when Regalzeva tried to disrupt the flow of the Dimensional Gap, the attack got nullified automatically, giving Naruto enough time to land his own special attack.
Naruto took a deep breath as he felt the realm around him completely stabilizing.
He was still learning to control his domain. After all, Reality manipulation covered a lot of elements and abilities, many of which were extremely dangerous and sensitive. Yes, he was still having a hard time using ‘Reality Manipulation’ in a subtler manner, but that did not mean there was no progress. He became pretty good at creating ‘Unique Realms’ through his domain. Since he realized he was good at it, he went all out to perfect this technique of Reality manipulation.
While he was still far from mastering it, he honed this ability enough to consider it as his trump card.
As for the realm he had created, ‘Age of the First Star’, it replicated the concept of ‘Initial Singularity’ from the Big Bang theory. A period before the time when the concepts of the world and the natural order did not exist yet. This meant the Gods should not be able to use their Divinity and Domain here. Of course, since this was just a replica, Naruto could not completely lock the domains of his opponents. But he was able to put a heavy restriction on the conceptual abilities. And as time passes, these restrictions would become more absolute.
But this meant Naruto was also unable to use techniques from his own domain. After all, a restriction could only be ‘Absolute’ when it affects everyone, even its creator. Luckily for Naruto, he had tons of unique skills and tricks under his belt that didn’t rely on Reality manipulation.
And Naruto could tell that his enemy had already figured out the restrictions of this realm and was trying to devise a solution to escape from here. And this was precisely what Naruto wanted.
Finally, both moved.
Regalzeva threw his signature purple orbs, but they dispersed before they could even properly form. Naruto used the chance to close the gap, but his downward slash was blocked by one sword from Regalzeva, who tried to stab his heart with the other one. Naruto sidestepped to dodge the attack while at the same time, he reversed his grip and went for his enemy’s neck. It missed, but midway Naruto pushed his Katana forward which gave his enemy a shallow cut.
They moved back just for a breather before going back in.
Since both of them were moving at the speed of light, each second felt like an eternity.
Unlike before, Regalzeva was not fighting passively. He was using dual-wield to aggressively defend himself, all the while shooting red beams at Naruto from various parts of his body, making the attack pattern highly unpredictable. And whenever Naruto got too close, he would release those miniature robots hoping they would touch Naruto’s skin.
Naruto was completely on the offense. Switching his katana’s form between First Fang and Seventh Fang, basically trying to drain both the energy and lifeforce of his enemy. And he was also relying on his Truth-Seeking Balls to destroy those tiny robots and block the beam attacks. Unfortunately, he could not use All-Killing Ash Bones since it relied on his Domain after the tweaks he did on the technique some time ago.
During the clash, Naruto noticed that Regalzeva was becoming immune to his attacks.
“His adaptability is completely separate from his Time Manipulation.”
Naruto moved back a few steps to dodge the beams aimed at his shoulders, “Is it those tiny robots?”
“Yes. They are more complex than I thought. Their abilities… think of it this way, each of those robots is an experienced Chunin, meaning he has legions of shinobi running all over his skin assisting him in the battle. Well, technically, they are a part of his skin.”
“That is an image that I didn’t want to visualize,” Naruto combined multiple Truth-Seeking Balls to make a large one and used it to remove the mist Regalzeva created to defend himself, “Why didn’t my Rinnegan pick up their abilities?”
“As I just said, they are a part of his skin,” His katana hummed as landed another shallow cut on Regalzeva, “They are always moving and changing, but at the same time, their energy signature is exactly the same as your opponent’s which makes it extremely hard to differentiate. What is fascinating is how organized and versatile they are. ”
Naruto smiled when he heard Kurama, “I see. These tiny robots are constantly changing to gain resistance to the attack I am using at that time. In that case,” Naruto held the katana with both hands once again, “Let’s see how fast his adaptability is?”
“We are going with the Third Fang, aren’t we?”
In response, Naruto just transmitted his wish and his katana replied back. Instantly, the blade started to emit all seven colors as if the metal was made from rainbow ores.
With that, he struck again.
And as expected, Regalzeva could not keep up with his attack this round. After all, his katana was switching between sixteen elements of his previous world. And the switch was almost instantaneous while at the same time, the color and the aura of the blade remained unchanged.
Even Naruto would not be able to trace the attacks of this form if this was used against him. After all, he purposely created this technique to fight against Rinnegan users.
He used the ‘Lighting’ element to increase the speed of the swings, but just before hitting Regalzeva, he switched to ‘Explosion’.
Regalzeva took the hit head-on but immediately tried to counter it by releasing a large number of his tiny robots.
In response, Naruto switched the element to ‘Lava’ and burned them all down before returning to ‘Lightning’ to increase his speed as he dodged all the red beams coming at him.
He closed the gap again before hitting his enemy with ‘Storm’ and followed up with ‘Ice’.
Bit by bit, he was chipping away Regalzeva’s armor. Unfortunately, Naruto was forced to stop his offense.
Seven enormous hands appeared behind Regalzeva. While the base design of all was similar, the runes each of them had might look similar at first glance but Naruto had Rinnegan. In addition, the runes of each hand had a distinguished blue tint.
But these enormous hands, these intricate runes… they were just a front. His Rinnegan showed him the real picture. The invisible power circle that was forming behind the hands.
Of course, Naruto had no intention of finding out what the outcome of the circle would be. He summoned ten Truth-Seeking Balls and commanded them to rush at Regalzeva. At the same time, he created another ten, one-tenth the size of a ping-pong ball, and hid them behind one of the first ones.
As expected, Regalzeva used his tiny robot-dust to counter his orbs but he failed to notice the smaller ones.
Naruto’s goal was not to destroy the hands but to disrupt the energy flow of these hands which was creating the unknown attack. And he achieved it as the smaller Truth-Seeking Balls all attacked a single hand and destroyed it. He could see the invisible circle shattering.
But what he did not expect was for all the hands to charge at him, the runes glowing menacingly.
“It’s a kamikaze attack.”
Naruto lowered his katana, “I can see that,” He raised his left hand, index and middle finger pointing upward.
Twelve Astral clones appeared beside him and all of them immediately charged at the incoming hands. Naruto created ten more Truth-Seeking Balls, regular size, and positioned those around him.
As expected, the explosion caused by the clash between his exploding Astral clones and those runic hands was massive. And just as he thought, he sensed another powerful attack being fired.
To his surprise, he was not the target. Regalzeva’s aim was the sun. Not the one that was being prominently shown, but the real one which was hidden.
Naruto smiled, “Bingo~”
The moment Regalzeva’s attack hit the sun, a blink later, they returned back to the Dimensional Gap
The only difference was that Regalzeva’s body was in tatters.
“How…”
Simple. It was because his attack destroyed the ‘Initial Singularity’ which collapsed his realm. And the initiator, Regalzeva, had to suffer the consequences for it. It was a conceptual technique based on the ‘Principle of Causality’, “You want to destroy a world, then pay the price of equal value.”
But Naruto had no intention of telling any of it to his enemy. He immediately moved to finish the fight but had to halt once again as hundreds of portals opened up behind Regalzeva. Countless mechanical humanoids came out within less than a second, and without missing a beat, they all immediately charged at him.
“They are… similar to undead.”
Naruto could feel the sadness and fury of Kurama. He was no different.
These robots, the millions of them in front of him, were all created using the lifeblood of the innocent. Countless souls had been sacrificed to create these puppets only to be used as an expandable force.
In times like these, Naruto could feel the weight of his powers. Because he could hear their agony, see their pain. Taking a deep breath, Naruto closed his eyes. Now, he felt their plea.
To stop their suffering.
“I will.”
And he responded.
Palms facing up, he started to raise his arms gently while humming. His katana, hovering beside him, started to hum as well.
A soothing melody that would guide the tortured and the lost.
Even though his eyes were closed, Naruto could sense the army approaching him, with a single goal of tearing him apart. But he paid no mind to it.
The tortured souls in front of him did not belong to his universe. He had neither any knowledge about their origin nor he had any authority over them. But it did not matter to him.
He just wanted to save them.
So, he reached out… deep inside of him. If anyone could create a miracle, it would be him. A God of DxD whose domain was ‘Reality Manipulation’. And his power answered his call.
Naruto opened his eyes as waves of white flame erupted from his body, drowning the whole area in the sea of white flame.
He immediately felt the pressure. The Dimensional Gap was trying to bind his power, trying to undo his technique. But unlike previous attempts, he refused to back down this time.
Gritting his teeth, he opened his heart for all to see. His conviction, his belief, “I. Am. Not. Wrong.”
The pressure persisted for a second longer before completely disappearing. With the primary obstacle gone, the white flames engulfed the entire army in front of Naruto. And just like Regalzeva’s attack, in an instant, everything around them turned white. But unlike his attack, Naruto’s one successfully achieved the result.
The army disappeared, along with the portals. And for a brief moment, Naruto felt it… The heartfelt gratitude of countless souls.
Naruto grabbed his katana and disappeared from his spot, dodging the attack from Regalzeva just in the nick of time. It seemed Regalzeva used his army as a distraction. And it worked since his body was now completely restored.
“You remind me of an old enemy of ours,” Regalzeva pointed at where the portals were, “To show compassion toward the lesser, the forgotten, even…”
“Shut up.”
Naruto’s katana felt lighter.
Until this point, each of the attacks he delivered was meant to stop his enemy. He did not hold back in a single attack. But it was not the same as an attack to kill. Because in that case, Naruto had to make sure that his first strike would be the cause of his opponent’s last breath. There could not be a second attack.
The true mindset of an assassin. Something that Sasuke had taught him a long time ago.
Naruto took a deep breath and grabbed his katana with both hands, the blade facing downwards.
The only reason Naruto could not land a strike with full killing intent was because a part of his heart did not agree with his logic. After all, Regalzeva was someone that he had just met today. Yes, the malice he possessed was unimaginable, and the ‘Clash of Hearts’ technique showed the type of individual he was. But those ways of determining a person’s value were not absolute.
And then, he saw it with his own eyes. The death and despair that Regalzeva had caused. So much that now Naruto could only see him as an abomination.
“One strike to kill.”
With that, Naruto stabbed himself in the stomach with his katana, making sure it went all the way through.
As he coughed out blood, he whispered, “Age of the First Men.”
The world around them changed once more.
Naruto took a deep breath. The air was crisp and fresh, and the breeze carried with it the fragrance of wildflowers and trees. This place was a vast and serene open space that showcased the beauty of nature. The boundless sky, the warm glow of the sun, and a line of distant mountains or hills could be seen in the background.
A perfect illustration of an untouched world.
Naruto rubbed his stomach, his katana was nowhere to be seen. The wound was not there, but it was not the same case for the pain, “Yasaka will have my head if she learns about this.”
“What… did you do?!”
Naruto turned to face Regalzeva. The spotless metal-like texture that his body possessed, it looked beyond rusty now. And his body was constantly releasing a considerable amount of dust. Naruto did not have the Rinnegan right now, but he could still tell that the dust contained all those micro-robots.
“You don’t look so good.”
Regalzeva made a terrifying screeching sound before lunging at him. At least he tried to. But the result was his right leg shattering to pieces making him land on his face.
Naruto chuckled as he looked beside him. Seeing the world through the eyes of an average human was a scary and fascinating feeling at the same time. Yes, he felt extremely powerless, helpless even, but it also made him appreciate the world and lives around him.
“I am Regalzeva!” His enemy stood on his knees, “The Invincible Devastator and the leader of ‘Devastator Order’!” His arms started to change, but the process stopped midway, “I have felled countless enemies!”
“And what were you at the very beginning?”
The cracks in his face made Naruto see the expression Regalzeva was making. He was stunned.
“You are the type to call everyone lesser, meaning you believe yourself to be a higher being.”
“I am a God! I am absolute!” His enemy screamed.
“No, you are not,” Naruto chuckled. “If you were absolute, then you would not have any enemies,” Naruto recalled the glimpse of ExE that he had seen when he saved those souls, the world known as Evie Etoulde, “If you were absolute, then you could have changed the very laws of your world to your own liking. After all, an absolute doesn’t have an equal.”
Naruto stepped forward. Regalzeva punched him, but the moment his metal fist connected with Naruto’s face, it shattered, “You are so hung up on evolution, on being perfect, that you completely forgot your origin.”
Looking at the mechanical disfigured face, Naruto realized something, “No, you did not forget. You detest your origin.”
Regalzeva tried to headbutt him, but Naruto stepped back, creating a safe distance.
“This is a world of the beginning. A place where you start from scratch.”
Regalzeva stopped moving. Naruto could tell that he calmed down and was starting to analyze the world around him. But for him, it was too late.
“You are lying!”
“No,” Naruto shrugged his shoulders, “I am just not telling the full truth.”
Regalzeva tried to move again but was unable to do so as he lost both of his legs. And it was just the start. Slowly, bit by bit, piece by piece, Regalzeva lost parts of his body until only his head remained.
“How…”
That was the last words he spoke before he completely disappeared.
Naruto let out a wry smile as he looked at the sky, “Because this is a world without Gods and Divinity.”
It was a realm where no one was allowed to touch the laws and order of nature. Not even him. A place where everyone would revert back to the first stage of their evolution. For him, he became a human. No, not a human who had chakra coils, but a regular powerless human.
So, in a world like this, irregularities would be removed without question. Regalzeva, a robot, was considered such a being. So, he stood no chance against the judgment. Unless Naruto’s opponent possessed the same domain, or a domain powerful enough to counter his, they would have to accept their fate... just like him.
Releasing a tired breath, Naruto pressed on his stomach with his index and middle finger, the area where he stabbed himself.
As the world around him started to crumble, Naruto wondered, “I hope Great Red did not get distracted.”
