Sieryō Gakuen highschool.
The kneeling men looked up and stared at the hovering white-haired boy in stunned silence, but Satoru ignored them, staring at the abandoned school building with interest.
"Seems I've been discovered," a raspy voice, like grating metal, came from inside the abandoned school building as black mist slowly curled out from the openings of the building, gradually coalescing above the old school building to form a humanoid being with four arms and countless eyes on its face. "But it doesn't matter. I'll kill you and get on with my mission."
"Do you really think you can kill me?" Satoru asked as he tilted his head slightly, his lips slowly curling up arrogantly.
"Hmph!" The black mist figure snorted as black mist erupted from behind him like a tsunami, intending to crush Satoru.
Noticing the devastating-looking attack, Mio, who had been standing close to Tsunade, placed her hand on the ground. "Domain expand!"
The scenery rapidly changed from the old school building to a forest filled with lush trees and swaying grass, with a smiling sun hanging above.
[Domain expand: Utilize the ambient natural energy to form a domain that draws you and everyone you wish into it.]
This was the skill Mio had received from the gacha roll in the chat group—something she had bragged about for days.
Boom!
From Mio touching the ground to the expansion of the domain, it only took a few seconds—seconds that the roaring black waves took to reach and swallow Satoru and everything below him.
"Changing the world won't save you. It just changed the place you'll die!" the black figure said as he turned to Mio and Tsunade, pointing at them.
"Are all multiversal beings this arrogant?" a teasing voice came from behind it as Satoru gripped its head. "Not even checking if your enemy is dead?"
Swoosh!
Before the figure could react, it and Satoru became a streak that descended downwards.
Boom!
A circular shockwave spread, followed by a fierce gale that whipped the hair of everyone in the domain.
Boom!
Suddenly, a black sludge burst out from where Satoru and the humanoid figure had fallen, reaching the skies.
Satoru, who had appeared in the sky at some time, stared at the sludge with squinted eyes.
"A strong foe indeed. It seems the chat group, though weak, is still able to recruit someone like you," the humanoid figure said as it slowly walked out from the black sludge. "But it doesn't matter… I can still kill you."
The black sludge churned, and then black sludgy figures stepped out.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sludgy figures moved, becoming black streaks as they launched attacks on Satoru from different areas.
Bang!
Satoru's palm caught one fist, and with a twist, he bent it unnaturally.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, from behind him, a wind blade cut through the air, and as it approached him, it multiplied from one to two and from two to three; before the wind blades struck him, they had already reached thousands… but Satoru ignored them all.
Boooomm!!!
Another visible shockwave erupted from above, the fierce gale pressing down on the kneeling men, causing some to cough out large amounts of blood and die.
The thick smoke cleared. Satoru still hovered, his clothes still pristine and his hair flaying slightly, but the sludgy figure who had attacked him via close combat was gone.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Suddenly, from below, numerous grasses elongated like tendrils as they swiftly moved upwards.
[Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue!]
Satoru sent a blue sphere downwards, and the approaching grass was immediately drawn towards it.
Swoosh!
A figure appeared behind him, its sludgy arms becoming bigger as it punched out.
Boom!
The air was torn as the fist descended. Satoru, who was about to eliminate the sludgy figure below, immediately felt a piercing feeling and, without hesitation, vanished.
Boom!
The punch of the sludgy figure created a beam made of compressed air that ripped through space in Mio's domain. The beam reached the ground, creating a deep, seemingly bottomless crater.
Satoru appeared fifty meters above with a slight frown. This unknown being wasn't like the other two he had faced… this one was stronger.
"Hm?" Satoru immediately noticed something—the sludge being was slowly creeping towards Tsunade and Mio. "Shit!"
Satoru vanished and appeared above the sludge, but before he could attack, another sludgy being appeared, both Satoru and its leg striking each other.
Boom!
The leg of the sludgy being was obliterated, but it immediately reformed. The sludgy being that Satoru had targeted was already gone, moving rapidly towards Tsunade and Mio, this time not even hiding its form.
Tsunade noticed the rapidly approaching sludge and turned to Mio. "Keep the domain stable."
"Ok!" Mio nodded.
[Strength of a Hundred Seal!]
[Summoning: Katsuyu!]
Poof!
The diamond seal on Tsunade's forehead glowed as chakra surged through her. Beside her, the thick white smoke cleared, revealing a slug.
"Katsuyu! I need backup now!" Tsunade said.
Katsuyu, suddenly summoned, didn't ask about the anomaly of the minimal chakra in the world but instead nodded, "Yes, Tsunade-sama!"
With a poof! Katsuyu became smaller and stuck to the shoulder of Tsunade.
Tsunade stared at Satoru's fight—only him against five sludgy beings. With the amount of destruction each of their attacks caused, she was sure that if any of them were to ever step into her world, sweeping through the ninja villages unobstructed would be a breeze.
"Hey! Quit worrying about us and focus on your own fight! We can handle ourselves!" Tsunade shouted as she noticed Satoru trying to draw closer to them, only to be stopped by the sludgy beings.
Swoosh!
The sludgy being finally freed itself from Satoru and approached them again.
Bam!
The ground under her feet caved in as Tsunade became a blur. Her fist, coated in chakra and wrapped in wind waves, struck the sludgy being.
A visible shockwave erupted from behind the sludgy being as it slowly dispersed.
Thud!
Tsunade landed and stared in confusion at the place she attacked the sludgy being. "That weak?"
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Suddenly, numerous tendrils made of black sludge instantly materialized close to her, and before Tsunade could react, the tendrils curled around her body tightly.
