Hey guys, it's currently 12:00 in the morning of September 25, and I just finished what is now my shortest chapter that I've ever written, and it's just about the boy from the future...man I suck. This is why I wanted to get this done Saturday instead of today, but when your parents want to clean the house till it's dirt free with the rest of your siblings for the entire weekend with NO I repeat NO internet it's a bit hard to focus on what I want to write. I actually had to walk to a friends house to borrow his wifi (funny enough he was bored out of his mind so we talked while I wrote, and finished this new chapter.) So, with this rough launch of my comeback, I present to you the next chapter of Not Alone, Not Anymore...next chapter will be longer I promise.

Shortly after the clones outburst toward the two mind controlled Akakiri, and Izaya characters many more of Iwagakure's forces began pouring in to help disperse of the many clones in hopes of finding the real kidnapped child. The trouble is because of the Fog is attracted to chakra the more that's used the higher it's effects become to those who use it, even those who've never used a single jutsu in their life. Thus, nearly all shinobi have to resort to taijutsu only using ninjutsu or even genjutsu as the last resort. Which would explain why they are losing...horribly losing men and women one after another.

"Damn it! They just keep coming!" a random Iwa shinobi shouted as he killed off two random clones only for 5 more to take their place

"Does he have unlimited chakra or something!?" another shinobi questioned as the rooftops seemed filled to the brim with endless lines of clones armed to the teeth waiting for their turn to join in

"Hold them off! We need to last until reinforcements get he-ack!" the first shinobi blurted as a kunai found it's way to his neck

"Maybe you should worry about yourself than your reinforcements." a random clone remarked pulling his kunai out of the dead soldier

"Just you wait demon, when Empress Kurotsuchi get's here it'll be the end of your terror!" a rather young female shinobi shouted clutching an injured arm

"Hm...I wonder about that." another clone smirked beneath his hood

"What are you spouting now?" Akakiri said clearing out 4 more clones with Izaya behind her watching each other's back

"It's just that, with that big speech of hers I just have to wonder if she really cares about her people or just herself? I mean it's hard to imagine such a person would go through legitimate means to achieve her position of power." a different clone said from above a collapsed building

"You shut your mouth demon brat!" Akakiri shouted in rage

"You don't know our Empress, and who she fights for!" Izaya shouted as well in a tone that seemed to strain his voice

"Oh, I think I know more about your Empress than even you claim, damn lackeys." the last clone said in disgust

"Shut up, just shut up!" the young female shinobi shouted

"Why don't you follow your own advice?" every clone muttered in annoyance as he slit the throat of said shinobi

"Your making my ears bleed with your moronic loyalty." that clone droned watching the lifeless kunoichi

"Bastard!" Akakiri seethed raising her sword for an intimidating pose

"No wait! Don't do it Akakiri, it's not worth it!" Izaya shouted

"Lava Style: Rising Volcano of Destruction!" Akakiri shouted at the top of her lungs as she swung her extremely large sword down into the earth causing a large slab of earth to rise in the center of the plaza causing a miniature earthquake to happen for a brief 5 seconds before a large burst of molten lava shot out like a geyser spraying the surrounding area

"Not bad, not bad at all. However, extreme heat can be countered by extreme cold. Water Style: Water Shockwave!" multiple clones shouted clapping their hands together causing a 30 ft vortex of water to rise across from the makeshift volcano rising above by a good few feet with the intention of destroying said volcano

"Now Water Style: Storm Upheaval!" a new batch of clones yelled in unison dragging water from the sky above the volcano creating a giant steam cover surrounding the Iwa shinobi.

"And finally Wind Style: Flash Freeze!" a hidden clone said using the air around him to lower the temperature to a near chilling degree freezing the volcano along with some of the shinobi in its tracks.

As their combination attack finished off a majority of the forces sent to dispose of the clones, a certain particular kunoichi was watching the destruction unfold before her eyes.

"Hmph, showoff. He should nearly be done by now with getting that information. All he has to do is hold them off, and distract these fools for me so I can look for them." Mirai thought to herself as she continued her search safely outside the chaotic walls of Iwagakure

Elsewhere

A panicking Kurotsuchi was gathering her things as she watched her home village being burned down into the ground. Buildings were being torn to shreds, civilians screaming their heads off trying to escape the chaos, dead shinobi were falling from the sky as they were being picked off one by one. All this had shook the would be Empress to her very core, but she had to keep her image in line for the sake of the small bits of order surrounding her.

"What's the situation?" Kurotsuchi asked her aid in a fake commanding voice

"Not looking good Empress. Those clones are tearing up our village building by building, our barracks have been compromised, the communication hawks are all dead, BOULDER ops have been getting ambushed left, and right as if they're being watched at all times, it's like these clones were prepared for an entire assault, it's literally a one man or in this case demon army." he responded

"Damn it, this just had to happen on my speech to boost morale for supporting the coming war. That demon brat is going to get what's coming to him, I swear." Kurotsuchi growled biting her thumb enough to bleed

"Yes, Milady. Shall I send word for a full retreat in order to save what's left of our forces? We only after all have about 64% left of our 500 able shinobi." the aid said shakily

"No, we're going to send everything at him, and I mean everything." Kurotsuchi snapped glaring back a her aid

"Are you sure about that Milady? If you use your Dust style or even your Lava style you put yourself in great danger of being exposed by the Fog, and it's disease could spread to the people or what's left of them." the aid explained

"Who the hell said anything about me going out there? That's what I have you all for right?" Kurotsuchi asked in a deadly tone

"O-Of course my Milady, how foolish of me to ask." the aid responded

"I don't know he seemed to have a valid point." a random voice said casually

"Who said that?!" Kurotsuchi demanded in paranoia looking for the source

"Oh, it was me. You know, the "demon" your forces have been trying to kill off?" the boy said as he dropped from the ceiling

"Get behind me Mi-herk!" the aid yelled before taking multiple shuriken to the chest causing Kurotsuchi to try and jump out the window only to be stopped by more clones

"Nuh-uh-uh! You're not going anywhere miss Empress." the clones mocked

"Damn you...how did you get in here? And where are the guards!?" the shaky Empress asked in rage/fear only for a single kunai dipped in blood was being held by the original boy

"Do you really need me to answer that?" he asked raising an eyebrow

"Damn it! What do you want from me?" she asked trying extend her life

"Now, why would you assume I want something from you? What could you possibly have that I want? Hmm...oh, I know." the original said walking up to the kunoichi raising the blood soaked kunai to her throat

"Where...are...they?" the original asked in a deadly tone

"What are you talking about?" Kurotsuchi asked shakily

"Don't you test me." the boy glared

"I mean it, who-AAAAAH!" but she didn't get to finish her sentence due to the boy cutting off her left hand

"I said...DON't...TEST...ME." the boy and his clones growled together raising their killer intent to unbelievable levels

"And I said I d...wait a minute. You're talking those worthless wh-oompf!" Kurotsuchi grunted via gut punch that broke a few ribs

"Don't you dare call them that! NOW WHERE ARE THEY!?" the original shouted

"Why should I-cough-tell you?" she groaned nursing her wound

"Because I'm..."

"Aaauugh!"

"Impatient." he finished as he stepped on the severed limb he cut off

"Not so tough without your jutsu huh? Too afraid to lose your position of power without you know, your power? Not surprising, considering nearly all your "shinobi" can't even use a D-Rank jutsu without risking a deadly fever or vomiting their own organs. Now, I suggest you tell me where you're keeping those two right now or..." the boy threatened as he snapped his fingers causing a new clone to come in with the girl he kidnapped tied up and gagged

"Mmmpf! Mmmmhh!" she cried trying to escape

"What did...damn you is that a kid?! The hell is wrong with you?! She can't be more than 5!" Kurotsuchi yelled in outrage

"6 and a half, to be exact. Such a waste don't you think? To only live such a short time to die in front of the woman she admires, I'm getting all teary eyed just thinking about it. Such a tragic end don't you think?" the boy mocked as he put the kunai to her throat

"Bastard." she insulted

"I've been called worse. Now, brave Empress Kurotsuchi of Iwagakure. What are you going to do? Give me their location, or have one of your precious subjects witness how pathetic you truly are before she dies?" the boy asked drawing blood from the girls neck

"OK! OK! I'll tell you...I'll tell you where Kushina Uzumaki and Tsunade Senju are being held."
