3 weeks after they went into the hospital, Naruto, Kiba and Akamaru walked out, healthy and happy as could be.
“Well, that was the best trip to the hospital ever.”
“You said it! Well, I guess I’ll see you later.”
“Yeah, see ya!”
And so they went their separate ways. But the story was not ended here……for Shao Kahn, bored on his throne, was watching Naruto’s every move through an interdimensional portal. Liu Kang walked in, challenging him to Mortal Kombat to end his tyrannical reign over the realms.
“Oh, what’s the point of it all? Defeat me, and Onaga or someone else will rise to take my place! Then he’ll just do what I’m doing right now, watching an alternate universe like damned television! It’s a bloody cycle, you can’t change anything! There is no longer a purpose in defeating me!”
Liu was shocked by this. He went back out of the room, leaving Shao alone in his throne room. Then Raiden popped his head in. “Mind if we watch?”
Shao threw his arms up in defeat. “Sure, why not? As long as we’re not trying to kill each other, we might as well share a bowl of popcorn!”
And so every character in the Mortal Kombat was assembled before the interdimensional portal……and shared one bigass bowl of popcorn.
“This isn’t the Naruto canon universe, is it?”
“No. It’s one of those fanverses created by some Markus Wolfe fellow. He churns out some pretty good stuff, not as good as Kishimoto of course, but it affords a good laugh now and then.”
“GORO THINK LITTLE BLOND NINJA IS FUNNY! LITTLE BLOND NINJA SAY FUNNY THINGS THAT MAKE GORO LAUGH!”
“I’m sure he does, you four armed retard.”
“HUR HUR HUR HUH!”
“Scorpion, put your mask on. I’m melting over here.”
“I would, but…..HEY! HE’S GOT MY MASK!”
The ensemble leaned closer to the portal, where Naruto could be seen picking up the black and yellow ninja mask Konohamaru had dropped earlier…… Scorpion’s mask! Scorpion thrust his spear (a kunai on a rope, for those not in the know) through the portal, stabbing Naruto in the chest. He then pulled back, shouting his trademark “GET OVER HERE!” He pulled Naruto through the portal like he was landing a fish. Naruto slammed onto the hard stone floor, and was rendered unconscious.
What happened next? Well, no one knows for sure what happened in the time that Naruto was in the Mortal Kombat universe, but no one saw him until Pain invaded Konoha…..
EPIC CLIFFHANGER! STAY TUNED FOR THE EXCITING CONCLUSION TO THIS TALE: KOMBATJUTSU! FINISH HIM!
