Kurogiri vs. Capture Squad

Under the cover of the smoke, the ninja were unable to see the creature but could hear movement in the area. They regrouped closer together and noticed that there were only five members remaining and that one of Danzo's Root members was missing. Before they could regroup tighter, the ninja who seemed capable of moving his shadow was grabbed by a shadow and yanked towards the creature.

Kurogiri used the strengthening effect and Blackwhip quirk of One for All to pull the shadow-wielding ninja towards him. When the ninja appeared, he used his hardening and strength to smash his fist into the ninja's face, caving it in slightly. The ninja quickly passed out, and Kurogiri used his All For One quirk to pull all the energy from his body back to himself and stored the rest in the spiritual space.

The original Kurogiri in the tree outside the town could feel the energy in the spiritual space and was happy to know that his clone was connected to it, making it easier to gather energy instead of one at a time. Kurogiri knew that he would need all of the energy he could muster to take down Konoha and all of his enemies. Now that he had absorbed the shadow-wielding ninja's energy, he was ready to plan his next move.

 

The clone of Kurogiri tightly held onto the unconscious fighter while the other clones used their Smokescreen Quirk to cover the entire area in smoke. Under the cover of smoke Kurogiri had his clone make another clone, to bring the unconscious person to him. Kurogiri's intent was to use the other aspect of All for One to overload his body with quirks to make his own Nomu, using the chakra of the team Konoha sent to capture him. With the plan in motion, his clones turned their attention back to the team.

One of the members yelled out, "Wind Style: Great Breakthrough," sending a powerful gust of wind that cleared out the smoke. After the smoke cleared, the team of five noticed Kurogiri but couldn't locate their missing teammate.  The team knew they were up against a tough opponent but was still determined to protect their comrade and defeat the villain.

The three ANBU ninja remained cautious about confronting the creature, but the remaining two Root personnel were trained to have no emotions and quickly dashed towards the nearest clone. Covering the distance between them in almost an instant, they quickly drew their swords to strike the clone from opposing sides.

The Kurogiri clone made no attempt to dodge the attack but instead used his hardening quirk to try and block the sword attacks. As soon as the swords landed on the hardened area, they chipped away at the rock substance but caused no real damage, surprising the attacking Root ninjas and the watching ANBU ninja.

Taking advantage of their shock, the clone quickly used his ice half to freeze the surprised Root ninjas inside an iceberg, hoping not to kill them too quickly. Assuming since they had powers, they would not immediately die from be frozen, Kurogiri focused back on the three remaining assailants.

Using one of the two clones standing by, Kurogiri sent it to quickly dash towards the remaining ninja using whirlwind with One For All, trying to catch them off guard. However, the ninja were quick to react. Bear prepared another fireball jutsu and Eagle used Wind Style while Hawk threw multiple Kunai at the clone.

The clone managed to evade the kunai and fireball jutsu, but the three ninja then launched a coordinated assault. Eagle summoned a strong gust of wind to disrupt the clone's balance, while the bear ninja used his superhuman strength to close in and launch a powerful punch with Hawk who used his taijutsu skills to strike the clone's weakened side.

As the team's coordinated attacks seemed to be working quite well, the last Kurogiri clone that didn't move started gathering wind and fire while using his ice to remain cool and waiting to strike. When the group seemed close to taking down that clone, Kurogiri had it harden as it was double punched by both Bear and Hawk.

Taking the perfect opportunity to strike, the clone gathered the fire whirlwind and launched it, covering the whole area where his previous clone was attacked. Bear and Hawk noticed the attack and tried to push off the ground to launch themselves back to escape the range of attack. However, unknown to them, the clone they knocked down quickly reached out to grab them both, holding one with each hand to hold them in place. The clone then proceeded to leak ice out of his body while the fire consumed them.

Inside the fire, the clone used All For One on the two to quickly drain them of their chakra and then let them go to aid in the fire using his hot half. The fire burned for a full 20 seconds before clearing, leaving only the Kurogiri clone with a few burn marks that were already healing and two charred bodies.

Eagle realized that not only did they not catch the creature, but it was strong with a diverse set of abilities that did not require hand signs. Realizing that they underestimated this enemy, Eagle knew that this information about the creature must be taken back to the village to warn the Hokage. Eagle tried to flee to Konoha, but Kurogiri could not have that. He had already seen too many of his abilities and didn't want them getting any more information than he allowed.

Leaving the last clone behind to thaw and drain the two frozen characters, the remaining two clones chased after Eagle. The lead clone quickly jumped on the other's arm, and that clone used One For All to throw the clone on its arm. The thrown clone quickly used Whirlwind and Half Hot to increase the speed to get up close to Eagle. Raising his arm out to use Blackwhip to grab Eagle's legs and break them, the clone caused Eagle to fall face-down.

The clone Kurogiri quickly approached and reached out to grab Eagle. Eagle quickly rolled over and stabbed out with a kunai into Kurogiri's arm that was reaching for him. Kurogiri ignored the kunai stabbing and quickly held Eagle by his outstretched arm, using All For One to drain his chakra.

 

Using the clone's enhanced strength, Kurogiri's clone crushed Eagle's head with a punch and proceeded to gather the body to bring back to the other clones.

After regrouping, the clone that was left to thaw and drain the frozen captives just finished draining the last one. With all the energy drained from the bodies, the clones moved them into the lab. Afterwards, they melted any ice left in the area, but couldn't cover up the fire damage.

After finishing removing any evidence in the area, all but one clone was released. The last clone was left in the lab with the bodies and proceeded to use Whirlwind and Half Hot Half Cold to build up pressure until the clone released itself. The different combative elements caused a huge increase of pressure from the heat, wind, and frosted temperatures, resulting in a huge explosion that decimated the lab while getting rid of the bodies.

The explosion was so strong that it could be felt in Konoha by the clone in the holding cell. Feeling the vibrations in the ground, the clone in the cell cracked a smile, proud of his fighting capabilities and successful plan.

The original Kurogiri in the tree was extremely tired from the overuse of his quirks, but he was happy to have the unconscious body near him that was dropped off by the second-generation clone before it was released. With his Endurance Quirk allowing him to push himself to handle all of this, he now had the energy to make quirks and a potential subordinate.

Dropping down from the tree, he quickly picked up the unconscious person and headed deeper into the woods near the village. During the scouting earlier, he noticed a cave and decided that for now, that would be where he would stay while making quirks and his Nomu.

 

Kurogiri entered the cave with the unconscious person in his arms, scanning the dark environment to make sure they were alone. He laid the person down gently and sat across from them, deep in thought about his next move.

As he looked at the person's still body, Kurogiri couldn't help but think about his future plans. He needed to build his army of Nomus and establish his own Kingdom in this world. And with his ability to manipulate quirks using All for One, he knew he could be unstoppable as long as he is careful.
