Anti-climactic end of a random city

Surpisingly, that speech made most of the soldiers open to the new patrol routes. And due to the majority agreeing, the minority was peer-presured by Matsuo with "Don't worry, I understand, you must have a hard time walking in different paths than normal."

Matsuo was preparing a bit more, it was the last day. If they didn't do shit he would start fires everywhere and use the last of his bomb tags, there weren't that many, but there was enough to create a panic. This was all for ten days after the akatsuki was hired, just to be sure a back up plan was good.

"Hello Iko, hows the wife?" General Hiro said, Iko said happily "Great general! Those herbal treatments worked well, she's been walking around. How did you know how to cure it?" Hiro smiled "The placebo effect, an ancient heritage from my ancestors. I found it last week." Iko gasped in amasement "I can't believe you used such a great inheritance for me." Hiro smiled "But I did." And walked away.

Matsuo on a nearby mountain waiting for the sun high up in the sky to dissapear into the environment yonder, these losers are so easily effected by the placebo effect that just saying that some random herbs that do nothing save your life is enough.

'It's surprising how easy it is to become popular with the soldiers, the placebo effect strikes once more.' He quickly sent another shadow clone to replace the one who's going to reach its time limit soon, that time limit is a real pain in his side.

Matsuo took out a table, and started to practice fuinjustu, the most op jutsu type. Free time has to be spent 'Bored now.'

After a few hours of repeating the same thing, writing stuff with an ink pen while using chakra, Matsuo was done. It was soon time for the sun to fall, he already saw some people in cloaks walking towards the city. Chakra is cool, to an unbelieveable degree 'Why don't I know of anyone who tried to get better eyesight with chakra? Oh yea, chakra is volitile. I guess ignorance is bliss.' He made a little trick to enhance eyesight when he thought chakra was all rainbows and butterflies, he got lucky and kept his eyes.

All Matsuo did was watch while four akatsuki members killed everyone in sight, destroying property 'It's good that they're doing what I asked for, saying something vague about something from the character profile from Aether was a good choice.' Matsuo saw them pausing and arguing a bit, and frowned 'I guess I'll reward them a bit.'

He didn't want Abyss's face to be known so he made the shadow clone into a strange form, a cloak with nothing in it, except a pair of arms and legs 'Actually, just to be sure, let's put some eyes and ears on it too.'

The end product was a pair of arms and legs, with eyes and ears floating where the head should be, under a dark-gray cloak. After Matsuo admired his work under the cloak, he quickly hid it behind the cloak again 'That's the stuff of nightmares, why did I make full eye and ear organs?'

In disgust Matsuo made the minimalist clone, who was ashamed of its continued existence, away.

Mini-man started to get ready, he cleared the chakra throat metaphorically, you can make sounds with chakra. He walked forward towards them, they noticed him quickly. They surrounded him quickly, though he wasn't that scared, he walked towards them from another place that's not the original's place "I thank you for listening my request, here." He threw some ryo towards them "Think of it as part of your pay, I hope you continue your assignment."

The shadow clone ended its own life, it couldn't stand being alive anymore. Matsuo got the knowledge, and sent out a clone to report to the current general clone and to give him some bomb tags. To cause some chaos while making it look like he's trying to help, helping mercanaries isn't that bad of a job, though they completely ignored the opening Matsuo made for them.

'As long as they reach the goal I set for them,' Matsuo thought 'I don't care how they do it.' The fighting was entertaining though, as little tension it had it was still fun to watch 'I should get strong enough to kill nagato and the rest of the akatsuki at the drop of a hat, it'll be annoying, but I still have a system. I can just run into some time dilation pod and train for 75892 years, that should be enough to destroy everyone in this world, right?' Hmm, time dilalation, rare focus. But it ain't happenin', chump.

After half the city was turned to ash Matsuo sent a full clone with an obviously fake face, but it was still handsome nontheless. It walked around the street, ignoring everyone, and climed the highest building.

A trash clone was made, a trash clone being a minimalist clone without insides but it does have an outside appearance, by the shadow clone. Trash clones cost little chakra, so a shadow clone can make one.

Both sat down on the edge of the roof, both abyss and Aether clones respectively. The cloaked Abyss said "You sure you're not going to interfere?" Aether laughed, making use of its only inside component, vocal coords "No, this place also got in my way. I don't have the insane idea of iradicating the buggers, I would need to scour a galaxy. I just want them to not suddenly get out of control, use them however you want. But if you mess with the peace I won't stand still, but only if you use them."

"Great to know, I'll make sure they're completely under control before using them." Abyss changed the topic "Anyways, how long have you been here? I've had 57 years." Aether scoufed at him "I've been here for more than two centuries, git good scrub." Abyss was annoyed "It's 'git gud scrub', get it right if you're going to diss me!"

Abyss paused, then laughed with Aether "So, what were you before you fell?" Aether turned nastolgic for second "Security department leader, most died from them, the only other that didn't die by their hands died in a crash." Aether didn't want to go further into the topic, Abyss took the hint "Biology specialist, I focus on most things to do with nature. More focused on gene editing, and I'm thankful for that. I can make gene repair agents with my lab, you want one?"

"No thanks, I've lived out my life. I'll commit suicide in about a hundred years, I don't want to lay on a sick bed for a few centuries." Abyss wasn't so surprised "I can understand that, you rightious types have that kind of mind set. But I'm more obsessive and power hungry than you, so I won't be dying for the next few millenea."

Then both poofed into a cloud of smoke, one of the akatsuki members listened in on the conversation. All according to plan, man this was easy. Matsuo just had to wait, how anti-climactic.

The Xenomorph egg appeared in his inventory, luckily it didn't react to anything outside while inside. He took out some random shit he didn't need and sent out a clone to dish out payment and collect the ruins.

After regressing from a billionare to a millionaire, Abyss started to look around. He may have also stolen, a few hundred thousand tons of random ruin materials. He hid the inventory with a fake high tech device that sucked in a projection of it, it's amazing what light refractions can do.

Matsuo actually paid a fortune for this special effect, you could tell with him crying tears of loss while standing on all fours "My ten million ryo!"

It made a version of it with cubes all over it then shrunk it, then consumed it. It was expensive as hell, and was a impulsive purchase by Matsuo 'Wait, wait, wait. I can use it for every character I'm using that is supposed to work for or is an outerspace person. When they don't hide their identity as one.' Matsuo made a real frown for the first time in a while 'The only ones that show their identity as one of them is Abyss and Aether, who always have something masking their face when they show off.'

Matsuo realized the obvious answer to this quandry 'Just make more space-related people, an arc should have more than 2 people, both the only one in their faction.' Matsuo smilled, the thought was amusing.

Some rando with Kazaku asked what the hell Abyss was using "Oh, you don't know? It's the first quantum-space-god-realm-heaven supressing-earth concealing-watch of the 362th dimension." When the rando didn't respond with praise and adoration "Filthy savages."

After a while Abyss found the egg and put it into the quantum-whatever watch "Uhhh, I still have some leftover money, you can have it." He threw a few million ryo on the floor "Pick it up yourselves, filthy savages." You know what happened next, yes, inculding the fact that when he was sure that all of the clones were no longer at risk to their timer, he ran away without shame.

'Don't give them a chance to re-moblize after my distraction,' Matsuo thought 'Of money! Mhuahahahahahha! Kazaku should be picking up every single fucking piece of ryo, making sure it doesn't burn in the flames.' Just for lore perposes Matsuo also made a ryo thing with a single piece of info inscribed onto it 'Aether dislikes aliens, a lot.'

Matsuo wasn't going to get involved with the Akatsuki for a while, they're main characters 'Better just let them know Abyss exists and end it there, let's not get involved with them for a while. A giant change in the story isn't something I want, just a mere spin-off AvP crossover arc, is that so much to ask?'
