As Aizen in Naruto and Joined a Chat Group Chapter 178: The Clone Army

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Oh my god, what kind of bullets are these?

Saten Ruiko’s body flashed around the battlefield, dodging each bullet as they zipped past her. Bang bang bang — the bullets slamd into the gate panels behind her, punching round holes through the tal.

But the holes weren’t caused by force — it was so kind of corrosion.

Ruiko could tell, because one of those bullets had hit her too. Her spiritual pressure protected her body, so she wasn’t hurt, but the shirt she just bought two days ago now had a huge hole in it.

This is an Actor: According to the researchers, those are called "erosion rounds." They’re made from special material refined from an esper’s crystal core. Supposedly, they can lt through anything.

Anran just stood there without moving. But as the bullets got close, they fell apart into dust and vanished.

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: They’re making bullets out of esper cores now? These researchers sure know how to get creative!

Saten Ruiko suddenly sped up, rushing straight into the ard troops.

For her, the bullets weren’t that dangerous. They couldn’t hurt her body, but that clothes-destroying side effect was no joke.

If she got hit too many tis, it’d be a social death.

Boom boom boom.

A wave of dull thuds rang out as Ruiko smashed her way through the troops, knocking them all out cold.

Machete Girl: Ruiko-chan, that was aweso!

Agakure Village’s Angel: Her moves are way smoother than before. And she doesn’t have that lost look in her eyes anymore. It’s like she’s a whole new person now.

Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Yeah, the outfit does kinda look like a Beggar Clan disciple.

Doujin Artist: Pfft, hahaha! "Beggar Clan disciple" feels so spot on!

Curly-haired Guy: There it is—Mochou-chan with the killer roast!

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: It doesn’t look that bad! It’s just a little tear near the stomach... Mochou-jie, you’re teasing again!

Soul Society’s Bad Guy: I’ll send a few sets of Soul Reaper uniforms to the group later. That way, if sothing like what happened to Ruiko ever happens again, we’ll be prepared.

Soul Reaper uniforms can repair themselves using their owner’s spirit energy—way more useful than normal clothes.

Pretty Boy from Skull Island: Clothes... always sothing I can’t wear...

This is an Actor: I know how to make Soul Reaper outfits too. I’ll make one for you later.

Pretty Boy from Skull Island: Thank you, Mr. Anran! Oh, and uh—can I choose the style? I want one like the white-robed swordsn!

Machete Girl: White-robed swordsn, huh...

Just hearing that made Katsura imagine a big gorilla in white robes wandering through the martial arts world, and she couldn’t help but shudder.

Doujin Artist: You’ve got to be kidding —white-robed swordsman?! Rati, that look does not suit you at all! Your face and that vibe just don’t match. Why can’t you see that for yourself?

Pretty Boy from Skull Island: Every gorilla has a kung fu dream. Mine is to travel the world with my sword.

Scarlet Lotus Fairy: ...

Li Mochou’s mouth twitched hard. She was speechless.

If this big ape really went off into a martial arts world swinging a sword around... who knows what kind of chaos he’d cause.

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Yeah, I think you should calm down, Rati. Sure, everyone has the right to chase their dreams, but yours is just a little too unrealistic.

Doujin Artist: Huh? Ruiko-chan, what was that just now...

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: ?

Seeing the ssage, Saten Ruiko looked up in confusion—only to see a white-haired, red-eyed boy standing in front of her.

Accelerator?

Saten Ruiko furrowed her brows, staring at him seriously. But then her expression turned a little puzzled. He did look like Accelerator...

His build, face, and clothes were all exactly the sa. But his eyes were blank, and his face didn’t show any emotion at all. He looked more like a puppet on strings.

Agakure Village’s Angel: Looks like a clone?

Doujin Artist: That old geezer, Kihara Gensei, really doesn’t stop. First the Misaka Sisters, now he’s making Accelerator Juniors?

Wig Guy: Not so fast—we don’t even know if that’s an Accelerator brother or an Accelerator sister.

Soul Society’s Bad Guy: Should we "unbox" it and find out?

Curly-haired Guy: ?

Scarlet Lotus Fairy: ?

Agakure Village’s Angel: Hold up—, what do you an by "unbox" exactly?

Doujin Artist: I... I an, I have a friend who wants to know!

This is an Actor: Be careful, Ruiko. These clones might be a bit different from the Misaka Sisters.

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Huh?

Just as Saten Ruiko spoke, the Accelerator clone in front of her suddenly rushed toward her. It raised its right arm and threw a punch in her direction without even touching her.

*Boom.*

A heavy, dull thud.

Ruiko was sent flying backward. Before she even hit the ground, the clone had already reappeared behind her. In his palm, a bright white plasma blast began to form.

Boom!

A loud explosion rang out, and thick smoke filled the air.

Whoosh.

Saten Ruiko shot out of the smoke completely unhard. She took a deep breath and said, "With that speed and power... even if it’s a clone, is he still an LV5?"

This is an Actor: Yep. Even though his emotional system and so of his calculation ability were removed, his power is still at LV5. And also...

*Click, clack.*

The rolling shutters around them suddenly opened, and a bunch of boys with the sa outfit, white hair, and red eyes walked out from behind them.

Doujin Artist: Anran-san, is this what you ant? There’s more than one clone of Accelerator?

Curly-haired Guy: This Kihara Gensei guy is sothing else!

Actually, this wasn’t Kihara Gensei’s work. That old man’s research skills might be decent, but making LV5 clones of Accelerator was way out of his league.

These clones weren’t made with science—they were made with magic.

The creator was none other than the greatest magician of the 20th century, Edward Alexander. Also known as Aleister Crowley.

The reason he gave was mass-producing weapons for war, but Anran guessed the real plan was to push Accelerator’s body to truly evolve.

In other words, reach the White Wings form from the original Toaru Majutsu no Index.

But with Anran’s sudden arrival, that plan had clearly been scrapped. These clones had now beco useless leftovers.

This is an Actor: I’m leaving this to you, Ruiko. It’s your ti to shine.

Saten Ruiko blinked as she read the ssage, twitching at the corner of her mouth: Uh... can we maybe talk about this?
