Naruto awoke with a startle. "...! Am I...am I still alive?!" He felt the ground beneath him was nothing but a bed of golden flowers. "I-I started over?! Tor-wait," His nose wrinkled. "What's the awful smell?"
He spotted off the flowers and to his chagrin landed in water that nearly reached his neck. A piece of garbage floated past him while he trampled through the thick waters. "An...empty ramen packet?! If there's one that means..." His eyes landed on a floating heap of garbage. He went directly to it, pulling out mostly dango sticks and empty packets of military ration pills along with the occasional broken shuriken. "Anddddd, here it is!"
'Iruka-sensei made me throw it away, but now I have it!' He crammed a waterdamaged magazine into

"...it's not the best, but it'll have to work!" He grabbed the pitiful doppelgänger of his himself and threw it at Mad dummy.
'That can't be, this human's a ninja?! A lousy one at that, but still. Ah well, it shouldn't hurt me.' His clone slammed Mad dummy into the water, shortly dispersing on impact. "What?! But I can't be touched by physical attacks!"
"Bunshin no jutsu is an illusion technique, it's not physical."

Well guess what, you messed up one too many times...FAILURES! YOU'RE FIRED! YOU'RE ALL BEING REPLACED! Hahaha. Hahaha! HAHAHA! Now you'll see my true power: relying on people that aren't garbage!"
Mad dummy pushed away from Naruto's hold and levitated above him. "Arise my replacement dummy bots now go MAGIC MISSILE!" Metallic robots rose from all over the room and shot a hoard of miniature missiles.
The missiles swarmed together, as they were coming, Naruto moved out of the way. 'Huh, that was easy.'
"You think THAT'S it?! Look behind you!" Mad dummy

'His bots are gone at least.'
"Who cares. Who cares! WHO CARES! I DON'T NEED FRIENDS! I'VE GOT KNIVES! Actually I'm... out of knives. BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER! YOU CAN'T HURT ME AND I CAN'T HURT YOU! YOU'LL BE STUCK FIGHTING ME...Forever. Forever! FOREVER!"
"Nah."
"NAH?! You can't nah me, I'm...Wh..." Mad dummy felt something splash on its head. "What the heck is this!? Ergh! Acid rain!? I can't handle this...FORGET IT! I'm outta here!"
"...sorry, I interrupted you, didn't I?"
"Ghost guy! You're back!" Naruto bounded to his feet, relieved he was in the way for once.
"It's...Napstablook." He said quitely.
"Ghost guy."
"...fine...I...I hope you're not upset, as soon as I came your friend ran off and it looked like you two were having fun and-"
"Not really, I hate that guy."
"Oh, well...I'm going to head back home now...uh...feel free to 'come with' if you want. No pressure or anything. I understand if you're busy, it's fine. No worries, just thought I'd offered it y'know..." Naruto followed Napstablook to a quiet area divided off by tall walls. "By the way, my house's ahead...just in case...you wanted to do the
