Chapter 281: Unfair (2)
—
Later that night, the girls– excluding Hinata– were gathered around to listen to the next step of Neji's plans.
Under the dark, dim lights, they all sat on the clean floor beside each other and watched Neji speak. Even Kurenai was present now, though it seemed she only came out of her room because of Mirai.
"The Raikage has called out all the Kages for the Five Kage Summit— a gathering for all the Kages, some of you may have heard about it." Neji said while looking at everyone. "If my prediction is correct, which I think should be the case– then the orange mask-wearing guy will appear in the Summit. Possibly accompanied by Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha. I believe they will announce the Fourth Great Ninja War upon the entire world."
The girls had various reactions to that information, but none were too extreme. After all, the person they were following– Neji– also planned to do the same.
"Technically, they would say the same stuff I want to say to the Kages, but I still want to go there and declare war from my side as well."
"I will only be taking Tsunade with me, to somewhat intimidate them. Make them understand that a former Kage is by my side."
Neji knew there wasn't any real reason to intimidate like this at this point, given that he had defeated them all by himself with threatening ease before. But at least it would be funny to see their reaction.
"Question," Temari raised her hand. "What about Naruto and Sasuke? That masked man, too. Do you wanna kill them? Or…" she trailed off.
Neji shook his head. "I would have killed them earlier, when I went out with Hinata, if I really wanted to. So, no, I wouldn't do that."
"Ooh…"
"I will kill them at the end of the war. Until then, they're rather useful to us. They're doing the jobs that would have fallen on my shoulders otherwise. That's why there is no point in killing them yet."
When Neji said that, the expressions of Sakura, Ino, and Karin shifted. Sakura's face changed because of Naruto, not Sasuke. She had heard about what happened to Hinata, but since she hadn't seen it with her own eyes she didn't fully understand that Naruto wasn't Naruto anymore. The other two girls, however, were clearly worried about Sasuke.
Ino's face calmed soon, she had no actual connection with Sasuke after all. But Karin kept frowning.
'...This Karin is pretty idiotic.' Neji concluded in his head. 'Oh well.'
No other people looked hesitant at his words. Tsunade had seen Naruto's change with her own eyes, so she didn't have any reason to protest, though she did look sad at the realisation that the Naruto that was breathing right now wasn't the same one she knew.
"Alright, any other question?" Neji asked but nobody raised their hands. "If not, then let's end the meeting here. I don't quite like this seriousness."
He clapped his hands once and the dark, gloomy lights around the room snapped back to colourful ones. A sweet fragrance filled the air and soft music entered everyone's ears.
"Ah…"
"Haah, it's finally over."
"What was the point of the dramatic atmosphere, by the way?"
All the girls released a relieved sigh and Tenten asked Neji a question. Neji didn't answer and just crashed on the couch.
"Guys, any suggestions on what to do tonight? Something entertaining. The Summit is tomorrow, we can laze around a bit for tonight.." Neji asked, curious at what his girls found entertaining.
"Oh, I know! Let's watch a movie, Neji! I really like the movies here, they're great!" Tenten suggested, looking cheerful. "Can we?"
"Alright. Does anyone have anything else to suggest?"
"Onii-sama, let's go on a tour of the outside world. I always wanted to have a night out in one of those big cities, but father never let me! Please, let's go!" Hanabi pleaded with puppy dog eyes.
"Alright to that too. Anybody else?"
"Hey! This isn't fair!" Temari yelled all of a sudden, and it didn't seem like a suggestion. "You plan to leave a Shadow or Wood Clone with each of us and go out with Hanabi with your real body?! This isn't fair!"
"I never said I was going out with her in my real body…" Neji blanked.
"Oh, sure, it's not as if we couldn't tell." Temari narrowed her eyes at him. "In any case, my point still stands. There are eleven people here, including Mirai and Karin. You alone can't be with everyone, so one lucky person will get the real body while the others get a clone. How is that fair?"
"I mean technically, all of my clones are myself. One mind, controlling all the bodies I create." Neji pointed out. "Yeah, I see your point, but there is no solution. Just do rock paper scissors and decide"
"What sort of God are you, then?" It was Tsunade who dared to say that before quickly shrugging casually. "Just saying. You know, Gods are usually said to be omnipresent. Can't you do something similar, instead of using clones? Well technically your variation of clones is basically that, but still."
Neji opened his mouth to say something, to protest, but he closed it soon after.
"Actually,"
Neji hummed.
"That may not be impossible…"
Before the girls could react, Neji gathered his mana and spawned 2500 clones in an instant.
The Multi Shadow Clone technique that he stole from the Konoha vault a week ago allowed him to create this many clones without wasting time. Neji could only properly control 500, but he wasn't trying to fully control the clones, he was simply trying to evolve up the Jutsu to probably a sort of Omnipresence skill.
He doubted it would be that easy, though.
In seconds, the 2500 clones multiplied. This time, 5000 clones appeared. In the next few seconds, the clones became 1000 thousand. Then, they became 20000 thousand.
Then 40k.
Then 80k.
Then 160k.
Seconds became minutes, and at one point, uncountable clones were filling up every corner of heaven– excluding the public ground for the Konoha souls.
About nine minutes later, Neji finally received a notification.
[Multi Shadowclone Jutsu has reached Level 25!]
[It has evolved to Endless Shadow Clone Jutsu - Level 1. Allows the user to create any number of Shadow Clones at once as long as they have enough Chakra.]
"...That didn't end in the way I wanted it to be." Neji said, looking at the notification and sighting. "Let's keep going."
He kept going, all to the dazed eyes of the girls as they felt Neji's chakra from all around them.
Truthfully, the pressure of these countless Nejis was almost suffocating for them, and Neji hadn't yet realised that.
When he did realise though, he was about to stop immediately– as this new Jutsu was getting harder to level up, but right then another notification popped up.
It wasn't a notification about the Jutsu level-up. No. It was about a new… divinity.
[You have attained the divinity— "Minor Omnipresence"]
[Divinity: Omnipresence
Rank: Minor
Details: You are a God, a divine existence who owns a personal heaven of his own. You have eyesight that stretches endlessly, and you have the ability to teleport yourself anywhere your eyes go. So how are you not Omnipresent yet?
Effect: Allows you to be at multiple places at the same time as long as your eyes can see the said places.]
Neji blinked at the wall of text. Omnipresence. One limited only by his eyesight. Which meant he could be anywhere around 105 kilometres from his spot, and given that 'spot' would keep increasing the more places he is in at the same time it technically meant he could be everywhere in the world– given enough time.
Neji cancelled all the clones at once, removing the pressure away from the girls, and stood up straight.
"Temari, you said all of you deserve the original?" Neji asked her, watching her look at him in a daze. "Here you go."
Neji appeared beside Temari.
"I hope,"
Another Neji appeared beside Hanabi.
"That you all,"
Yet another Neji appeared beside Tenten.
"Don't get bored of my company."
One by one, Neji appeared beside all the girls in the room. All of them. Yet, they weren't Shadow Clones, they were all he, him, and himself.
This feeling of multiple presences felt… weird. It couldn't compare to sharing senses with his clones, this one had a sense of supernatural to it. Because he wasn't feeling the senses through the clones, he was feeling his own senses scattered around the room. Due to some bullshit space-time reasons that he couldn't comprehend yet.
To answer Temari's previous complaint, there was no main body anymore, because none of these was 'the' original body. All of the bodies here were original. Under the governor of Neji's lone consciousness that appeared to him as if it had surpassed the limits of mortal understanding and ascended to a higher state of existence.
"Well,"
"So,"
"Like,"
"I am asking again,"
"Who wants to do what?"
"Don't be shy,"
"I am here for everyone."
The path to omnipotent godhood was just starting for Neji.
