Fuck! That hit pulled me out of my "grind mode" and I looked up at the group of Goblin Archers . In the middle of the group, a large Goblin grinned down at me. I grinned pulsed chakra through my sword,
Ping! Chakra Bonus: Damage x 3!
Hell yeah. I jumped up and slashed at the big guy slashing him clean in two. I quickly dispatched the others and looked down at Stubs who was having the time of his life. That is until even more of these bastards came out of the woodwork. I jumped down and ran at them with my sword. They didn't stand a chance with my new speed record.
"Mach 3 bitches!" I yelled as my sword cut through them like a hot knife through butter. Sweat dripped off my body as I breathed hard. They've been relentless with the attacks lately. The new enemies that popped up didn't help either,
Goblin Archer

HP: 15000/15000

Goblin Brute
Level: 25
Description: The strongest of the Goblin race barring Goblin Lords these warriors may have the strength of a hundred men but they lack the intelligence to form a strategy.
Drops:
x1 Potent Goblin Ale
x1 Perk Points
Oh? This is new. I guess I'll be on the hunt for these Goblin Brutes then. They must be a rare commodity around here considering this is the first time I've encountered one. Stubs and I have been in here for a few months now killing anything in our way. Lately, they've been hitting us hard not giving us a moments' rest. Guess we're finally a threat to these assholes.
In the past few months, I've raised my CHA stat continuously with the Tree Walking exercise. Using Ninja Run in unison with the exercise helped move things along considerably. I leveled up thanks to the constant assault and plunged all my stat points into CHA. My other stats don't really matter that much to me. For now, my chakra reserves are my main concern.
I just need to keep grinding…

It has been a long and tough road. This dungeon has definitely mutated by now meaning the boss and I will have a good time. Since encountering my first Goblin Brute I've encountered a good number of them in the past 4 years. I'm very tempted to get some more Perks but I'm gonna wait until I get that nice even 30. Also, it's been a while since I've looked at the list and with my new level there may be some more useful perks available.
So, I think I'm done here. I'll just need to hope beyond all hope that Orochimaru isn't over Level 100. I have enough chakra to affect him for one minute… hopefully, I can leave behind some subliminal messages or something. This place is huge by the way. Imagine Hogwarts but twenty times bigger. Trust me I've gotten lost more times than I could count. So, I did the smart thing. I nabbed up some Goblin bastards at the end of a fight and interrogated them.
Those little weasels don't know much about their king. Apparently, only the Goblin Lords know any substantial information. Unfortunately, in the past 4 years, I have yet to come across any of these guys… until now. Wearing what appeared to be thick leather armor they approached us from the shadows beckoning us to follow them. They looked like the Brutes I encountered but taller and without the protruding belly, the Brutes had. I hit one of them with a quick Observe,
Goblin Lord
Level 35
HP: 300000/300000
Description: As strong as the Brutes but with the intelligence of a proper tactician , these warriors are capable of taking out entire groups of enemies without breaking a sweat. Their tactics and cunning make them a dangerous foe to face.
Drops:
x1 God's Mead
x5 Perk Points
Damn, these guys might actually be a challenge. Looks like there are around ten of them here... 50 Perk Points is too tempting. I immediately rushed one with my Ninja Run and stabbed forward, chakra coursing through the blade,
Armor Break!
He died instantly. The others sprang to action moving around us at blinding speed. I pulled Stubs into the Companion Slot , he's had trouble taking down the regular Goblins so I think it would be best to keep him out of the fight. I jumped up as they rain arrows down upon me. They were FAST. It was like I was dodging a machine gun. Guess they figured not to engage me in close-quarters combat. Smart, but I've got some new tricks up my sleeve.
I've been gaining control over my Lightning chakra for years now. Using Ninja Run and the Tree Walking combo helped with that somehow. I wanted to try this before I had to face these guys but looks like I've got no choice. Gathering lightning chakra in my fist I focused as I dodged the onslaught of arrows. My hand crackled with electricity. A little more and… NOW!
Ping! You have created a new skill!
Sith Lightning
Description: The user expels a large burst of concentrated lightning chakra at the target.
CP:500 per minute
Damage: 2500 per second
Boosts:
Has a chance of hitting groups of enemies with a 50% reduced damage rate.
Penalties:
Prolonged use may cause damage to the user.
The lightning had no problem reaching one of the Goblin Lords killing him in seconds. The other two beside him seemed to have taken some damage as well. I flexed my fingers and grinned,
"I am the Lightning" I whispered brandishing my sword as the Sith Lightning in my other hand surrounded me, "The rain transformed..." and with that I unleashed hell upon them.
They tried to get away but my lightning stopped them from getting too far. After just a few moments they all fell against my might. All but one. I had chopped his legs off and he tried desperately to crawl away from me. I walked towards him and stabbed my sword into his shoulder blade. The crippled Goblin Lord screamed in pain. I twisted the blade slightly and asked,
"Tell me where your boss is and I'll grant you a swift death" the bastard turned his head as far as he could and spat out,
"Fuck… you. Our king will destroy you, filthy human!" I twisted the blade a couple more times listening to him whimper in pain,
"Last chance. Tell me now or I'll just cut your balls off and look for him myself. I've been here for 4 years jackass. I can spend a little more time looking for him or I can cauterize your wounds, wait for you to recover, and have some fun torturing you until I'm bored of it" I said to him twisting the blade once again. The Goblin breathed hard gritting his teeth so I violently ripped the sword out and kicked him around so he could face me.
I placed the sword on his armor's codpiece pressing down slightly,
"Well?" I asked him putting more pressure to the blade until I broke through. It must have grazed him slightly because he screamed,
"WAIT! I'LL TELL YOU EVERYTHING! Just please… don't." since I'm not THAT much of a sadistic bastard I pulled the blade out,
"So, where's your boss?" I let him breathe for a few moments. Then he replied,
"He's… just up ahead. I have to warn you though… he's strong. Only the strongest of the Goblin Lords become the king. There will be nothing in your path… you've killed them all." and with that, I kept to my promise. I stabbed him in the head and moved on.
I walked forward instead of running to regain the chakra I lost. Eventually, I made my way into what seemed to be a large manufacturing area. Sitting on a large throne made of rusted scrap metal sat a huge Goblin. This one stood at easily 8 feet and wore thick metal armor. He definitely looked much stronger than any other Goblin I've encountered. Glaring at him I hit him with an Observe,
The Goblin King
Level 65
HP: 1250000
Boosts:
—Mystical Armor: Grants immunity to all magic. +150% Damage Resist.
—Corrupted War Mace: Unbreakable and light as a feather. Damage: 10000

Berserker Soul: Grants the user invincibility when health reaches below 25%.
WarCry: Grants the user x3 to all stats.
Well… fuck. This will be a tough one. But still, I brandished my sword and got into a battle stance. There is still so much I need to do and I'm not dying here. The king looked at me with a bored look in his eyes and sighed,
"You've caused me quite a bit of trouble these past few years girl," he said. His voice was deep and reverberated across the entire room,
"I don't suppose you'll go quietly? Maybe just let me lop off your head so I can finally leave this place." I said with a smirk. Cockiness aside I still kept at the ready for anything the big guy might pull. He chuckled as he stood up. Okay, I was wrong. He stands at about 9 feet,
"Ha! You aren't the first Gamer to face me you know… I've fought those like you before." When he said that I froze. He did what?
"What do you mean the ones before? How many others came before me?" I asked these questions desperate to know. The king grinned,
"Oh, so many of you standing all proud of the powers you've gained. Many times I've just had them directed straight to me and we fought. For years I've faced many fearsome Gamers such as yourself and for years I've killed any who found themselves in my domain. The tin cans were nice for my boys to tear apart and meltdown too, they made good sport for a while." as he spoke he walked towards me, each step leaving a small tremor in its wake,
"Then you arrived. You are nothing like the others who came before no… you're a patient one. Other Gamers would rush to find me killing any in their path. No, you spent years training and growing stronger for this moment. Of course, I grew stronger as well, preparing for this encounter. And it is perfect you're a girl… been a while since a woman came through these parts." I tightened my grip on my sword and asked him,
"So, do you know who or what is pulling the strings? Do you know who granted these people and I our abilities?" the king let out a hearty laugh,
"Ha! I don't give a damn about that girl! The only thing I care about is reaping the spoils of those who lost! At first, I would kill them outright but then I kept them around as pets. One of them finally told me the secrets of the Gamer Ability desperate to be let go. So many treasures kept in that inventory of yours… tell you what. Hand over everything you have and leave. I've never given anyone this courtesy… well. I gave that offer to the last little girl who found her way here. Let's just say… I couldn't help myself." he said this with a toothy grin.
In an instant, I activated Ninja Run and got behind him. I charged up at him blasting him with a Sith Lightning not letting up for anything,
Damage Resist!
—1250HP per second
Fuck! I kept the lightning on him hoping that he wouldn't get past the pain. He growled as he ran towards me, mace in hand ready to swing. I dodged keeping my Ninja Run on at all times. He's fast for a big guy but I'm faster. Just need to find a way to get around that armor. The Obsidian Blade has a 50% chance of breaking that armor. If I can break it I can finish this. I dodged another strike grinning like an idiot,
"Too slow!" I yelled hitting him with some more Sith Lightning. The Goblin King grinned taking in the constant barrage of lightning in stride,
"GRAAAHHHH!" he screamed. An aura of red energy surrounded him as an alert popped up,
War Cry Activated! The enemy now has an x3 multiplier to all stats!
"FUCK!" I screamed as the king rushed me again but this time he smacked me with that damned mace of his sending me sprawling across the room,
He kept up the assault hitting me six times in total before I sprayed him in the face with the lightning blinding him just enough for me to get away. He recovered quickly and rushed me once again. This time I was ready for him, brandishing my sword I blocked his strike with all my might. He was incredibly strong, I could barely hold him. I spun around and slashed at his armor hoping to break it. No dice. He reared back his fist and hit me with a solid backhand sending me across the room once again,
Damn, if I had tried to go after him all those years ago I would have died three times by now. I… wait! I still have stat points!
Ping! You have gain +1 INT for thinking on the fly!
I plunged my 50 stat points into LUC quickly and rushed the king once again. I slashed at his armor again and again but it just wouldn't give! The Goblin King then managed to grab my sword and pulled me into the air, dropping his mace as he used his other hand to wrap around my entire midsection holding my arms in place. He grinned at me bring me closer to his face,
"You lose Gamer. And for all the trouble you caused killing all my men, I'm gonna rip you in half now," he said this as dropped my sword to grab my legs. Then he started pulling,
The pain was excruciating. I screamed and screamed but he didn't let up,
— 10000HP!
I struggled to pull my arms free but he kept an iron-grip on my limbs. He squeezed hard almost breaking my arms and legs. He pulled slowly seeming to enjoy prolonging my suffering,
— 20000HP!
I felt some ribs crack. Is this the end? Am I going to die here at the hands of this monster? I'll never know who sent me here, I'll never get to finish my plans for the Naruto world, I'll never get the chance… to know who I really am. I… no. I refuse to give up. I. Am. Not. Dying. Here. I just need to think of something, anything, to help me get out of this,
— 10000HP! Warning, 100HP remaining!
There has to be something… I still have fucking Perk Points! With just a thought I was able to pull up the Perks Available list and quickly scrolled through it. I ignored all the new perks and scrolled to the top of the list. I found was I was looking for,
Adamantium Skeleton: The user's bone structure becomes coated in the nigh-indestructible metal "adamantium". Through unknown means, the metal will grow with the user. Does not grant claws. (5PP)
I chose the perk and felt a nice warmth spread through me. The Goblin King grinned as he watched me squirm,
"So long, kid. Hopefully, they send me another soon," and with that, he pulled one final time making my body go limp. The king looked down at my body with a raised eyebrow,
"Huh, I usually hear a nice crack when I do that… I wonder." he mumbled to himself before he shrugged and walked back to his throne picking up his mace and my sword with him. He sat in the throne admiring my blade for a moment before he stabbed it into his armrest and settled into his seat making himself comfortable.
In a few moments, he snored loudly, fast asleep.
Damage Resistance to Limbs +1000%! -50HP!
Damn, he was strong enough to hurt me even with the Adamantium covering my bones. I laid there for a couple hours hoping he wouldn't wake up while I regained some of my lost health. Once I got to the ten thousandth mark I got up slowly, wincing in pain from my wounds. Any damage the king had done to my bones had been repaired but my internal organs still took one hell of a beating with that mace. Slowly I made my way to the throne.
I tried to pull my sword out slowly as to not wake the sleeping king but he was snoring so loudly I just said "fuck it" and pulled it out. He snorted a couple times making me freeze but then he went back to snoring after a moment. Okay, here we go. LUC please don't fail me now. Raising the sword above my head I swung down at the Goblin King's chest piece,
Armor Break! Magical Properties Neutralized!
Warning! Enemy health below 25%! Berserker Soul Activated!
It didn't matter at that point. His armor couldn't stop my magic now. Just as he was able to tear my throat out I hit him with Control. He froze. This spell will only last me a minute so I quickly asked him one question,
"Who or what keeps sending Gamers here?" he answered in a dull monotone,
"I don't know. I never cared to know." With a sigh I gave him one final order before the minute was up,
"Kill yourself." and with that, he took his mace and started to bash his head in. Even after the spell wore off he kept going. It's good to know my last orders with Control will still take effect even after I stop using it. It took some time with his ridiculously high health but he did it. He fell to the ground in a heap as I received a notification,

—Unlimited Ammunition

Penalties:
—Required STR to use: 666
I… okay. I've got to wonder what can stand in my way when I use this gun. Then again according to my memories of this particular firearm the bullets will only travel just under Mach 2. I've got to find a way to upgrade this gun. I'll look at the Perks Available list later. For now, I have a date with a certain snake pedophile. Exiting the dungeon I called out to the air,
"Orochimaru-sama, something's wrong..." in a moment the snake appeared before me,
"What seems to be the problem Haruka-chan?" he asked, concern lacing his voice. I hit him with an Observe hoping to finally see his level,
Orochimaru(the Snake Sannin)
Level: 125
HP: 350 000 0000
I smiled to up at the snake. Thanks to the stat multiplier I can easily use Control on him. I replied to his question,
"It seems you've lost... Control! " I hit him with the spell catching him off guard. Suddenly I received a new notification,
Master of Manipulation 10% chance success! CP penalties are now zero for the current target!
Oh… yes. We're gonna have some fun with this...
Somewhere else...
A man wearing a large red trench coat rifled through his pockets with an annoyed expression on his face,
"Where the hell is Casull? I swear I just had it with me..." he said to himself. Pulling out a large black handgun he sighed in relief, "Well, at least I still have you, Jackal," and with that, he continued on his way whistling a tune to himself leaving behind a trail of mangled bodies in his wake.
