Knowing that there's only one group in Japan that he has angered, Peter instantly guessed who this could be.

"You all should probably get somewhere safe." Peter says to the few in the room that haven't left yet.

Thankfully the president left already, as he had some sort of emergency to deal with. Though Peter doubted that the Hand would pick a fight with the US government. That would risk outing their millennia-old secret organization to the world.

No, they were here for him. At least, Peter hoped so.

Heeding Spider-Mans advice, everyone in the room froze for only a second before rushing out of the building. As they left, Peter could sense the intruders passing the civilians without attacking and continuing his way. The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.

Soon enough, the meeting hall was empty and the army of insurgents made its debut. As Peter guessed, Hand ninja poured into the room with sharp and pointy weapons in hand.

"What do you guys want now?" Peter asked casually, not flustered as he has already defeated the Hand once before. "You've already lost against me once. What's the point? You can't win..."

"..." None of them answered as they rushed forward like a tidal wave.

"Sigh..." Peter sighed in annoyance as he walked toward the wave of ninjas. "Let's see if any of you have improved since our last encounter..."

As the two sides clashed, Peter was surprised to see that they came up with an odd strategy this time around.

The last time they fought, Peter was attacked in small manageable groups, as it's hard for a large group to coordinate without some friendly fire happening here and there.

This time, the ninja didn't seem to care and acted like a mob of zombies, not caring for the lives of their own men and woman. Within the first push, Peter could already see 3 ninjas get stabbed by their own comrades.

As he saw this happening, Peter leaped onto the ceiling and started firing webs from above, dodging the wave of berserker ninja with ease.

Since they want to act like a bunch of zombies, making it harder for Peter to handle them at close range, he'll just treat them like zombies and keep his distance. He may not be able to fight close up, but Peter has every advantage at range.

Especially since he can walk on the walls and ceiling. This room's ceiling is extremely high as well, so they have no chance of ever getting close to him.

'Where are you going?' Peter thought as he ignored the fleeing ninja and started following the helicopter.

He thought that this could be another trap that they were luring him into, but at the end of the day the Hand is pretty weak compared to him, so he just followed along.

He could have tried to take down the helicopter or something like that, but they were still in the middle of a very crowded city. Peter didn't want to accidentally send the thing into a building or a crowd of civilians.

As Peter left after the helicopter, the ninjas that were running from him stopped in their tracks and returned to the UN building. Entering the building, the Ninjas freed their comrades and escaped, with a few of them carrying the wounded on their backs.

Their plan was working as expected. The breaching team lost and Spider-Man followed the helicopter instead of the fleeing ninja.

Since the Hand practically owns Japan, no police or other authorities arrived on the scene until after everyone had left. The only remaining people were those that hid in the building, waiting for the chaos to stop.

—————————————

In a temple on the outskirts of the city, a giant, fat, grayish-black demon with red eyes sat on a stone throne. Its giant hands held a large chalice filled with a thick blood-colored liquid.

[Insert picture of the Beast here]

Red-clad ninjas stand guard at the demon's side, as frightened men, women, and children serve at the monstrous beings every whim.

Just moments ago, while pouring the demon's drink, one of the servants spilled a single drop and had her stomach cut open by the demon's sharp fingernail.

The poor woman screamed in agony as her insides fell out along with enough blood to kill her within a few seconds.

The blood from that incident remains on the stone floor as scared servants were hard at work scrubbing and soaking up the mess. The demon sat on its throne, watching with an amused grin on its face.

"You missed a spot!" The demon's dark and deep voice rumbles happily as its splashes its drink on the floor. "Hehehe..."

As the liquid splashed onto the floor and the nearby servants, an iron smell of blood thickened in the air. None of the servants dared to speak out, as they started working harder to clean the floor, ignoring the cackling demon before them.

Suddenly, the sound of helicopter blades could be heard drawing closer to the temple. The demon immediately stopped laughing and looked toward the door expectantly.

"Did the spider follow?"

[DONT FORGET MY STONES! As King, I look down upon you lowly folk and think ???? 'What would it be like to enter the shoes of such peasants?' Then I drink from my golden chalice at the top of my throne of stones and remember that I'll never know such depravity... *Insert obnoxious laughter here*]
