41 Battle for the Heart (Agony)

[Adaptation has detected a threat!]

[Warning: Severe damage to frontal lobe, amygdala, hippocampus, parahippocampal gyrus, middle/superior temporal gyrus, and general brain structure. Please seek medical assistance swiftly lest damage becomes permanent.]

[Host's mental state is compromised. Please exit high-stress situation to avoid any unexpected situations involving intense rage.]

After making that declaration, a massive wave of blood-red killing intent which was unlike anything I'd ever displayed before, flooded the entire village.

Children in the crowd got physically hurt by the force, some civilians without training got knocked out, average shinobi shrank in terror while physically unable to move, and the more skilled shinobi like Kurotsuchi, Onoki, and Sayuri, shivered at the Killing Intent, feeling the hairs raise on their necks and their instincts telling them to escape.

'What the hell...? Sharingan!? How does he...?' Sayuri questioned to herself as she resisted the killing intent which seemed to tint the world red.

Onoki was having similar thoughts but was a bit too affected by the chakra-charged killing intent to do much

The moment Kurotsuchi hit with the killing intent, she stumbled and seemed almost knocked out before shaking her head, looking around confusedly for a moment before feeling the effects of the Killing Intent.

Meanwhile, I let out a grit-teeth groan as I felt the pain in my body multiply intensely.

[Warning! Host's [Adaptation] is negatively reacting with [DD], insomniac mental state, the [Symbiote], and current rageful state! If this persists, Host's body could be severely damaged.]

From the middle of my back and my sternum, my flesh transformed and the symbiote suit was forcefully brought out.

The black-purple blotches that peaked from my flesh, stretched and partially shifted into the symbiote suit.

Kurotuschi jumped back as my ruined body somehow managed to stand up straight in a creepy manner.

The biomass leaking from my injuries tried forming into the suit but barely deformed into partial transformations as I tore off my shirt due to the strange pain the symbiote suit transformation was causing me.

"Aaagh!" I shrieked in pain, clawing at my face as the symbiote suit contorted over my body in a manner that sent waves of horrifying pain through me.

[Skill: [Pain Resistance] has strengthened]

My skin felt like thousands of spider legs were grinding against it and my whole body had a sensation of each individual cell being ripped apart.

"Augh! Rag augh! Aaaghhhh!" I growled, trying to pull off the suit which I was unable to pull off due to it being a part of my body.

It felt like I was trapped in an iron maiden which was twisting and contorting my body to try to heal it as it put me through torturous agony.

[Skill: [Pain Resistance] has strengthened]

""Ah! Ah! Ah! SsssTOOOPPP!"" We cried out in pain, savagely trying to scrape off my own skin as my leg twisted back into place and the suit spread through it, a sharp bone jutted out.

My wrist curled itself back into place, another bone shard peaking through my skin as biomass flooded it.

My loose eyeball was latched onto and forcefully shoved back into its socket, both eyes ending up with red sclera due to the stress.

[Skill: [Pain Resistance] has strengthened]

"Brougghhhh...!" I violently heaved blood as the biomass reached into my ribcage and compressed it together from the inside and from the outside of my chest.

As my chest compressed, the sharp ends of my ribcage jutted out of the middle and outer areas of my torso, forming curved rows down the front of my chest and mid-section as the biomass filled it in.

Tendrils of biomass flooded out of the cracks in my skull, forceful mending it as they were stretched out and latched onto my spine from my head.

My face was stretched back and pushed onto my head by the biomass, keeping it from drooping or bleeding out.

"GRaaaffgghruagh!" I screamed like a wild animal due to the sheer trauma of the event as I gripped my chest.

[Warning: Host's damaged brain and increasing levels of stress are causing irreperable damage to mental state and personality! System shall forcibly shut off host's conciousness in 10 seconds!]

""NO!"" We refused, huffing roughly, ""Do not stop us! We need vengeance!" We hissed ragefully.

[Shut down procedure cancelled. Severe mental anguish retained.]

[Host has been inflicted with: [Madness] status]

[Host has entered state of extreme [Wrath]. If not stopped, there is large risk of death by exhertion, brain damage, suicide, blood loss, suffocation, brain death, and even self-destruction]

I couldn't focus on anything being shown by the system. My brain felt like it was splitting apart. Nothing but concentrated agony permeating my fractured mind and body.

As my body writhed in agony, the chest part of the suit tried forming the symbol only for me to grab it before it closed and begin pulling.

"Rrrrrgghhh...!" I groaned loudly as I pulled at the symbiote, causing my body to bleed violently.

With one last scream, I pulled with all my strength and I felt something tear aggressively.

Then, a torrent of blood splattered across the ground, leaking down my suit from my chest.

Instead of a white biomass spider-symbol being on my chest... There was something much more horrifying...

There was a massive mangled gash in the shape of a jagged spider-symbol, mutilated into my chest, little biomass tendrils connecting from the suit to the large laceration.

[Skill: [Pain Resistance] has strengthened]

[Skill: [Lower Regeneration] has been enhanced to [Medium Regeneration] skill]

[Temporary enhancement: [+50 to all] activated in response to rage, adaptation, and symbiote boost]

Everyone was silent.

They all stared at me.

The awake crowd in befuddlement, Kurotsuchi in confusion, Onoki in shock, and Sayuri in complete and utter abject horror.

'This is enough,' Sayuri thought to herself as she gained a determined look, "I'm stopping this now!"

Her statement echoed throughout the silent area as she teleported in the middle of the fighting area.

Kurotsuchi snapped out of her confused daze upon spotting the woman appear there, "Uchiha. What are you doing?" She asked.

"Stopping the fight," She said curtly, giving the confused Kurotsuchi a hateful look as she approached me.

As Sayuri approached me, I was standing and leaning forward in a manner that uncomfortably concealed my expression.

Sayuri soon walked up to me and unhesitantly rested a hand on my suited shoulder before speaking.

"Are you okay, Akuto? I'm ending the fight, we're going to get you some hel--"

She was swiftly cut of as my hand quickly shot up and grabbed her by the throat.

The shocked and confused Sayuri was about to speak when I tightened my grip heavily.

""Don't you dare..."" I hissed through my lipless mouth as I looked up revealing my messed up face.

There were cable-like symbiote tendrils sewed through the skin hanging off my lower face, keeping it held to my face as the curved, metallic-like, tendrils curved over my mouth.

Parts of the symbiote suit went up to my face from my neck in vein-like patterns and were keeping my head together through my forehead, jaw, and chin, slightly pulling my face as a result.

Not to mention my bulging eyes which had red sclera and were almost popping out with how exposed they were.

"W- What...?" She asked through her throat getting crushed, as I huffed heavily.

""Do not stop our fight...!"" I snarled rabidly as I turned my head to Kurotsuchi and dropped Sayuri on the ground.

Sayuri remained confused on the ground before flinching as I turned to her, ""LEAVE!"" We roared at her, my words coated in Killing Intent, ""Now!""

Thankfully, Sayuri seemed to comply and vanished into thin air, the last sight being an expression of distress on her face.

With that over with, I turned back to Kurotsuchi and felt my rage spike up violently in response to seeing her.

We began thinking of what she did to me... The pain, the humiliation, the agony... Every single act that was performed to leave me in this horrid state.

Just the thought of this woman was practically burning my body with the sheer rage of having to simply... let go of this.

Stop the fight? No way in hell that would ever happen. Not until every single feeble part of this pathetic woman's damnable life is left mutilated and desperately gasping for help.

I'll make her suffer an unbearable agony to the point where her only moments of respite would be moments where she is almost dead.

But she would never, ever, die.

I will keep her alive... Like a worm desperately clinging onto life, she would be agonized throughout her existence and even at the brink of death, I would bring her back for more.

She would never experience anything but suffering from this point on.

Nothing in her life will ever be the same because I will make sure that the only person she will ever have the pleasure of touching, will be me.

And I will not be so kind as to let her ever experience any sensations the same. Every touch should burn her, every smell should sting her, every taste should poison her, every sound should hurt her, everything she sees should be nothing but the most indescribable horrors that will fill her disgusting form with dread and agony!

I won't just humiliate her. I will destroy every fleeting trace of confidence or ego she ever had.

I will make it impossible for her to take a single step into public without being shamed or looked at in disgust.

No one will ever look at her the same way and she will be left alone and broken, seen as nothing more worthwhile than a damn cum rag.

At the end of the day, her life will have been so utterly destroyed, the only happy spot in her life will be the shitty piece of cardboard she'll sleep on.

'She'll be ruined. I will ruin her,' I ranted savagely, gritting my teeth painfully and clenching my hands so hard in front of me that they almost bleed.

""We'll torture you... You will suffer nothing but agony for the rest of your existence!"" We spat out with deep, rough gasps for air.

The fire chakra within me intensified with my rage, mixing with my Killing Intent and Dark Determination to engulf me with a flaming aura.

I was leaning forward slightly, staring at Kurotsuchi in rage as I clenched my shaking fists in front of me and wheezed in deep breaths of anger, steam blowing out after each breath and oddly acidic saliva drooling down my mouth.

With my anger reaching a new peak, the Killing Intent got strong enough to fully incapasitate every civilian and average shinobi nearby.

Seeing the sight of my deformed, rageful body, Kurotsuchi prepared a fighting stance to defend herself.

'What's with this kid? What's going on--' Her voice was interrupted immediately as a clawed hand suddenly appeared right in front of her face.

'Wha--?'

My symbiote-covered hand hatefully impacted the side of her face, cracking her in the jaw and sending her flying back.

Just as I had done before, Kurotsuchi rolled across the ground and swiftly jumped to her feet.

'How the hell is he so fast...!?' She thought to herself as she saw me standing where she once was with a fist that was coated in fire chakra, bio-electricity, lightning chakra.

Kurotsuchi flinched when she saw me prepare to dash at her once more before concentrating.

I dashed forward, destroying the ground beneath me as Kurotsuchi flashed through hand signs and smacked the ground.

"Earth Style: Mud Wall," She announced as a multitude of stone walls shot up from the earth.

Unfortunately for her, I jumped forward and crashed through the many walls with a kick powered by the explosive force of wind, fire, and lightning.

'Damnit!' Kurotsuchi cried out mentally, seeing me pounce towards her animalistically, 'I need more defenses...'

Kurotsuchi weaved a multitude of other hand signs and slammed the ground, "Earth Style: Flying Thrown Rocks!"

The ground twisted and then shot out multiple rock bullets at me with record speed. But she didn't stop.

"Earth Style: Bottomless Swamp!" She called out once more as the ground beneath me became swampy and I got stuck within, slowly sinking.

""LET GO!"" We shouted angrily, spawning large tendrils to pull us out of the swampy trap which only ended up sinking in the mud.

Unable to move, I watched as the many rock bullets sped towards me and, before hitting me, Kurotsuchi casted one last jutsu.

"Earth Style: Bedrock Coffin!" She proclaimed as the earth around me seperated and wrapped around me in a stone dome.

The rock bullets which were casted at me got trapped in the dome with me inside.

Kurotsuchi sighed as she could hear the impacts of her rock bullets bouncing off the walls and continuously assaulting my trapped form.

She was put off by the lack of screams coming from the complex trap but took a moment to recover some chakra.

"That should hold him..." Kurotuschi muttered, suddenly freezing as a deep rumbling shook her in the core.

The rumbling intensified as a crack somehow opened in the side of the dome, sending a chill down Kurotsuchi's spine.

"There's no way... How the hell is he...?" She mumbled in shock.

Suddenly, the booming sound of an explosion rang out, followed by my earth prison being completely destroyed by dozens upon dozens of blazing symbiote tendrils which burst forth, breaking me free from my restraints.

Kurotsuchi sighed, seeing me walk out of the smoke, "Shit..."
