Chapter 72 (1/2)

Momo gulped when she sat in silence with Naruko and Himiko after their quick talk, knowing that she was going to have to gather up the courage to act the part of the villain, without Naruto's emotional support. Calming herself, she retained a neutral look on her face, and saw that her plate was empty. She wasn't hurt about it, since it would seem that Naruko had decided she was still hungry, and finished it off. It was good for her, since she didn't have a strong enough digestive system to eat raw meat like Naruko.

Naruto sent her a look, before she narrowed her eyes.

”He bitch... you better not be planning something.” Naruko stated, and Momo practically jumped at the sudden change of tone.

Her cover was blown!

”Oh, like one of you three new students can do anything against me. I'm an Elite at this school, hand picked by Kaguya-sama herself. I was just coming to give you three a warm welcome-”

'Oh thank god, she was talking to the person behind me.' Momo thought with a sigh of relief when she heard the most arrogant voice she had ever listened to in all her life. Knowing that Naruko had not been talking to her was such a relief. She turned to look at the person who had been speaking, only to get a face full of mashed potatoes for her efforts.

”Oops... slipped.” The girl said, before she turned an entire tray of food upside down on Momo's head. ”I mistook you for... well, I guess I'm not wrong to dump this on you. After all, you're all trash too.” She spoke, and despite feeling pretty angry about how she was being treated, Momo took it in stride. She wasn't going to let this get to her and start something. Hero or not, she needed to be the bigger person about this.

Naruko stood up, and so did Himiko.

”The fuċk did you just say about me... this leech might be trash-” Naruko pointed to Himiko, who just nodded her head, before she sent a small glare to Naruko for the backhanded insult. ”-but I could rip your head off before you could so much as blink.” Naruko started to transform, getting far larger than before as she transformed all the way to her second tailed form, just to prove a point.

Momo couldn't see what was going on, food in her eyes, but she was quickly wiping her eyes to try and calm down this situation, without anyone dying.

”I'll cut you up for talking about my new bestie.” Himiko pulled a knife from under her skirt, and jumped over the table.

”Hey now, there isn't any need to-” Momo was stopped when she heard it. She heard the sound of a crack, a short scream, and then she felt the ground shake a little, and some warm fluid splash across her neck and face. She froze completely, now suddenly not wanting to get the potatoes from her eyes, because she knew the scene in front of her was going to be very unpleasant for her. The cafeteria went silent, before Momo felt a sickness in her stomach when she smelled blood, a smell Naruto made her become familiar with, seeing as he was injured all the time.

She felt sick.

”Bitch, didn't even last a second.” Naruko turned back to normal, and Momo uncovered her eyes, and looked at the wall. She saw, who she suspected was her tormentor, smashed heard first against the wall... what was left of her head was squashed into paste, brain matter splattered on the wall and ground. The broken remains of her head were all that were keeping her implanted into the wall. Next to her, was a girl who was gurgling on her own blood, hands on her throat and still bleeding to death. Himiko was sitting on top of the girl, knife raised above her head, before she started to bring it down and gave even more fatal stabs to the quickly dying girl.

She was going to be sick.

”You're actually really pretty, let me make you even cuter!”

-With Naruto-

”More clones... even the Security Guards are clones of Kaguya... these ones seem modified though...” Naruto noted as he went through the vents, his smaller size thanks to the Shrinking Ring he was wearing, giving him the perfect sneaking edge to get around. These Kaguyas had sensors in front of their eyes, melded to their faces, no doubt so that they could react to students and dangers even faster. The woman's paranoia knew no bounds it would seem, seeing as she didn't trust any real people to do her bidding for her.

”It seems we have two dead students... 013 and 015, please go and collect the corpses. Harvest what remains of their DNA for cloning, and then send their corpses down to Kabuto.” The clone spoke over the private radio, no doubt to other clones.

'So... down to Kabuto... somebody named Kabuto is working downstairs... and he is working with the corpses. I should find where the clones are... looks like they don't watch the bathrooms or dorms... but they have cameras everywhere else.' Naruto thought as he slipped out of the vent, and landed right behind a Kaguya clone. Naruto took the ring off of his wrist, before he grew back to normal size, and chopped the clone in the back of the neck. Quickly, he did the same to the other clone, both of the guards slumping forward in their chairs.

Naruto stepped forward and started to look at the cameras.

There, on the bottom floor, was a man that was studying... Naruto felt his fist tighten when he saw the restored corpse of his mother, being studied like a frog, and even the corpse of Mito Uzumaki was in a similar state of nudity. Their corpses being defiled, their bodies studied years after their deaths. Naruto remembered Momo's words to him, and turned his head away from that screen. He saw Kaguya in her office... and he quickly turned his head away from there to when he saw what she was doing. Looking at each screen, he saw a dozen Kaguya clones a layer above Kabuto, working in a room filled with technical designs. One of the clones opened a filing cabinet and took out some blueprints, and Naruto knew where he was going to go tomorrow.

As it were, he needed to leave and go meet up with Momo again.

”Kaguya 015 to Kaguya 047, we have the corpses.”

Naruto picked up the communications radio, and cleared his throat.

”This is Kaguya 047, you have your orders. Be careful, it looks like there might be a gas leak.” Naruto, in a perfect imitation of Kaguya's voice, stated as he slyly gave a reason for why both of the Security Kaguya would be knocked out. It would be odd if they were knocked out cold, woke up, and questioned heavily why they were knocked out. A gas leak would explain why, and give them a good reason for why they couldn't remember it.
