Nightmare Ooze Lv 33
HP: 5000/5000
CP: 1500/1500
This amalgamation is the culmination of all your nightmares given physical form in this place.
"That thing is nasty looking," commented Kichi.
"I noticed," said Naruto, not looking forward to fighting this thing.
The ooze convulsed suddenly spewing some kind of gas directly at him. He had to move fast to get clear of it, to which he countered with a [Shrapnel Kunai], something he wasn't as worried about using in the open space of this room as opposed to the narrow halls where he could have damaged something in there, like his mind.
The damage the ooze suffered from his much improve [Shrapnel Kunai] was significant, thank you Kibaku Fuda Grade 3. The stacking bleed effects he made the thing suffer after having more than a dozen explosive kunai hit it drained its health quickly. Fortunately, the ooze didn't really move, just kind of sat there either vomiting acid all over the place causing him to hide behind a stone wall from his [Doton: Kabe no Jutsu] or simply running like hell to avoid the gas cloud. As boss fights go, this one was rather simple if a bit longer than he was used to.
"That thing was kind of stupid," Kichi stated, as it dissolved into nothingness.
"Yeah, but I'm sure that if we been hit by any of the shit it did, we have been in a world of hurt," said Naruto.
Kichi just shrugged his miniscule shoulders.
Congratulations! Your level has increased by 1.
"Hey, you gained a level. And I gained two."
"I know, its awesome right?"
"Sure, I but I'm ready to leave this place, so we can talk to the furball behind the gate now?"
"I suppose," Naruto joked with the little toad.
"Took you long enough to get here."
"Yeah, well, my mind is a dangerous place," Naruto retorted.
"So, what is it my jailor wants from me?"
Naruto took a moment to study the fox. He was surprise to see a question marks instead of its name and level, but the title 'Kyuubi no Yoko' just underneath the name made him consider that maybe 'Kyuubi' wasn't the foxes name.
"I'm waiting."
"So, I need access to your chakra."
"And why should I help you, eh ningen? You come before me, demanding my chakra as if I owe you something. As if saving your worthless life when you get in over your head wasn't enough."
"Yeah, well, consider that rent," shouted Naruto. For some reason the damn fox's attitude reminded him of his stingy-ass landlord. "And from now, you'll pay rent for living in my gut."
"You've got guts, I'll give you that, ningen. But you're going to have to do better than that."
Naruto frowned. "Well, what do you want then?"
"Out?"
"Not happening."
"Worth a shot. But fine, I want you to come here at least once a month and clean out the sludge and ooze that builds up. You do that, and I'll give you access to my chakra for one month each time. That's my final offer, take or leave it."
"Take it!" shouted Kichi.
"Like the toad said, I'll take it," said Naruto.
"Pleasure doing business with you, but be warned, there are consequences to over use of my chakra. You'll build up a . . . corruption and if you ever become fully saturated then I get out. In other words, you die and I live free again."
Naruto had to think about that for a minute. "So, I'll become corrupted or something and if it ever reaches 100% you get free?"
"Precisely, so, do we still have a deal?"
"Yeah, it's a deal." He wasn't sure about the corruption aspect but the risk was worth the benefit.
"Good, now be gone from my presence, your stench is making my eyes water."
Naruto blinked in surprise when he found himself back in the training field. "Did that really happen, Kichi?"
"I think so."
A special skill had been created through a special act.
By making a deal with the demon, 'Kyuubi's Cloak' Lvl. 1 has been created.
[Kyuubi's Cloak (Active/Passive) Lv1 Exp: 0.00% Corruption: 0.25% per 5 seconds]
Your deal with the devil is a double edged sword. The Kyuubi's Cloak will grant you immense increases in most stats but the corruption that accompanies that power puts everything and everyone at risk.
Passively increases HP regeneration 0.50% per 5 seconds.
Passively increases CP regeneration 0.25% per 5 seconds.
Additional 100% to STR when Active.
Additional 100% to HP when Active.
Additional 100% to DEX when Active.
Additional 100% to CP when Active.
Additional 100% to DEF when Active.
Additional 100% to SPD when Active.
Additional -50% to WIS when Active.
Regenerate 100% HP when Active.
Regenerate 100% CP when Active.
"So, kid, did it work, you've been quiet for a few minutes now."
"But were gone almost an hour," protested Naruto.
"Gone?" asked Jiraiya.
So Naruto relayed the events that occurred in his mindscape including the deal with Kyuubi.
"Was that okay? I wasn't sure what else I could do."
"No, that's actually more favorable than I could have hoped for," said Jiraiya. "Although I'm suspicious as to why the demon was so cooperative. Still, it worked out. For now, we need to start testing this new skill . . . the [Kyuubi's Cloak] was it?"
"Yeah. I admit I'm a bit nervous about using it."
"Just keep it active for less than 30 minutes and you should be fine."
"Yeah, but how long does it take for the corruption to fade?"
"That's something we're going to test as well. We might be able to craft a seal to deal with the corruption."
"Do you think that would work?"
"It might, won't know until I do some research," said Jiraiya. "Anyway, quit stalling, Cloak, now."
"You might want to stand near Jiraiya for this, Kichi."
"Good idea," said the little toad, leaping from his head and quickly hopping over to Jiraiya.
Naruto took a few deep breaths trying to mentally prepare himself for what was about to happen. He sent the mental command [Kyuubi's Cloak]. It started as a trickle in his gut then like a fire hose turned on full power causing his system to be flooded with the volatile chakra.
"How do you feel, kid?" asked Jiraiya.
"I'm okay, it's a bit weird. I feel like I'm invincible, like no one can touch me."
It was a sudden move, Jiraiya hammered Naruto with a haymaker, planting him into the ground harshly.
