"..." Alius was silent, it was all too close to the achieved victory, and now that wanted victory was gone. There was no other choice now... Sarcastically, she started to slowly clap, as if she were congratulating them on finding her ruse out. "At least you're much more aware than Kaika herself. Her own foolishness allowed me to perfectly replicate her body for my own. So yes, I am what you can call...the "mother" of the Shadow Replicas. Made from my essence alone. If I was found out...well, millions of years ago, and destroyed, then the Shadow Replicas would be gone. However, I've already passed down pieces of my essence to others, so they can continuously create Shadow Replicas even if I die," Alius says as the Shadow Replicas that were hiding began to rise out of the ground. As if to show that this body was a fake, Alius had parts of her arms break apart into shadows, letting out her shadowy tendrils from her "true" form. "That reminds me, you are out to kill my children? Well...I'm sure enough this will be entertaining for me and my Shadows," she says, summoning a large blade of darkness to her hand.

"Go off my Shadows, don't play with our food now," Alius says as she wanted to see how they would fare against her Shadow Replicas.

It was quite an uneventful walk, that was...until Yasu was struck by what seemed to be numerous clones with some sort of energy ball attack. This was for sure throw him off guard, sending the demonic presence crashing through several trees. Yet, he didn't show any pain, and knew that Sota would be forced back even more from the pain the human has to face. As if the attacks did nothing at all, Yasu slowly got up in the manner that a zombie would, brushing off the dust from his clothing. "This is quite unnecessary, if you really want to go into a one-sided fight, then so be it. I wouldn't mind, of course, I would always need more souls for the Realm of Shadows," Yasu said with a sigh of dismay, seeing that it was annoying to be attacked by these others. In comparison, they would never reach Yasu's level of power, not when the "portal" he had created was still pouring out Shadow Replicas from the sky and with the addition of the "deathly" essence of the Realm of Shadows. The emitting darkness from Yasu's body began to slowly heal the damage done by Naruto's attack, and some minutes later, it would be as good as new. As if to test these two to see if they were really worth the demonic presence's time, Yasu summoned two Shadow Primes, which were basically much stronger versions of Shadow Replicas. The Shadow Primes were quite big, at least as big as a two-story building, and only had one red glowing "eye." Both Shadow Primes gave out a loud bellow as they gained the sight of Naruto and Kusanagi.

Tris didn't know where to go, so she sat down next to a tree, hoping that she wouldn't be found by any "bad" people. It was scary being all by herself.
