《Once Neglected, Now Protected (Book 2 Completed)》Chapter 18
Advertisement
What happened next could only be described as gory. Naruto's body literally exploded with bits of flesh and blood going everywhere. In return, giant bones and heat exploded into place as muscles, tendons, and skin with fur created a dramatically rolling mass of fox as the Nine Tails took over.
Good part of the nine tails taking over, was Naruto's body was currently being healed inside of the fox and the heat melted the corpse revealing a pile of steaming, melting metal. Kurama roared in rage as a clawed hand gripped the edge of the crater that had formed and pulled himself out. No one messes with his kit! NO ONE!
The fox looked around quickly noticing that his brethren were winning outside the village before he looked for his target. The accursed corpse was still on the other side of the village. A second later, a black bijuu bomb was on it's way. The nine tails sharp eyes seen the arm come up before the ball of chakra destruction was sent back forcefully, moving so fast that it carved a trench through the village. Kurama opened his mouth as wide as he could and swallowed his chakra before again expelling it, but this time as a giant lazer.
The corpse barely had time to make it out of the way and scowled at the nine tails who was apparently trying to make the task as difficult as possible. "Fine." Pein spat. "Planetary Devastation!" The ground shook and fractured as boulder size chunks were lifted into the sky Kurama eyed it for only a second before he realized that it was the technique that Hagoromo used to create the moon. He realized that if he got stuck in that, it would be over. The ground started breaking up in larger chunks, upsetting Kurama's footing as another large chunk slammed into his side and he released a loud whimper from pain and shot as big a bijuu bomb he could muster at the giant ball of rock forming in the sky.

Pein grit his teeth as blood started to trickle from his nose. "You need to stop! You are killing yourself!" A purple haired woman exclaimed.
"No Konan. I must do this." Pein replied back, panting as he tried to keep his jutsu together.
Kurama howled in rage as he was sucked into the giant ball. Well...since he was now in a giant ball of dirt, he decided to dig his way out. His nine tails shot out like spikes around him and he thrust as much as he could with his hind legs that were stuck in the ball before turning in a move of flexibility that he didn't know he possessed and shot a bijuu bomb at the dirt and rocks around him causing the entire jutsu to fall apart as the last corpse collapsed allowing everything to fall back in the crater that once was Konoha.
Before he hit the ground, Kurama spotted the flutter of what looked like thousands of papers closing around something.
Kurama laid on on the ground. With the corpses taken care of, he could speed up healing his kit. After a few more minutes, Kurama's body started to dissolve as Naruto finished healing. When Naruto finally woke up, Kurama was gone, back into the blondes mind, Madara was next to him.
During this whole thing, Madara and Hashirama were dealing with the only odd pair left, Obito and Zetsu. Turns out, Zetsu was the real bad guy who ended up turning on Obito when Obito had actually listened to his mentor when he explained everything. In turn, a long battle ensued with Madara and Hashirama both injured but Zetsu was finally killed. Having seen Kurama fall earlier, the Uchiha had rushed over leaving Hashirama to check on the other tag teams.

Returning to Naruto, he looked around before patting his stomach and discovering that it was nice and smooth, the only evidence of there being a giant hole there only hours before was all the blood all over his clothes.
"Kit, they are over there." Kurama sent a mental image of the location before falling silent.

But the rose-tinted fantasy life she always dreamed of turns out to be a stark reality that poses to kill her if she doesn't adapt and let go of her past. Essairyn battles both cripping nostalgia and imminent danger in her journey from the Spirit and Demon Forest to the human realm of As'pyze.

While the entire series story has undergone major changes in the last year, all books have been planned since the beginning of writing. It is also my second wish to eventually make this story into a webcomic, either by myself or with a team if possible. Thank you for taking this journey with me, and enjoy reading! ( You can alternatively read books in the series as standalone fictions, but they connect to one another though a running theme and mystery that evolves and progresses with the main character. ) Alternate Blurb for the Singularity Cycle series: Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters mythical creatures beyond her restless imagination in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is gifted with abnormal magic, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world more dangerous than its beautiful facade could hide. Finding new friends along a path riddled with tragedy, Essairyn must learn who to trust as deceit and betrayal lie behind kindly faces. Life in this deceptively promising world slowly spirals down a path of no return. This is not a game, but cruel reality. Her simple adventure became the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tore even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought they were. And not even the fickle gods could change the time-worn destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence.

The Draw Of The Unknown
Mia Campbell is your average introverted loner. Not exactly satisfied with her life doing pretty much nothing of import, she's also not that willing to break out and make a change. Until, without any preamble or warning, she is bestowed with a cryptic system that both grants her magical powers, and also operates on the logic of a card game. Things begin to escalate from there. **This project is a bit of an experiment! For any given chapter, Mia's 'decklist' will be built by the community, over on our Discord server. If you find this amusing, and want to participate in the discussion, as well as find the complete list of cards, you will be able to find the link to the Discord server at the end of each chapter. Discussion in the comments is also encouraged and included as well. Each chapter and/or scenario will be intentional, but the cards used will be chosen by you guys. And the draws made will be done via actual drawing of cards during the writing process, for bonus author street cred.**
