An alternate amd more realistic version to my "Naruto's Intervention" story. Enjoy.
(Prologue)
Fires burn throughout the world. Smoke rises from destroyed buildings, sirens ring, and gunshots can be heard. The world has been plunged into chaos. America, Russia, and China were the first to fall. However, things didn't happen over night, but rather very slowly over the course of one month.
(One month and a half prior to current time)
A man walks through the dimly lit halls of what seems to be an underground headquarter. This man wears a black suit and tie with a crimson shirt. His shoes, however, are combat boots. His steps echo throughout the hall as he nears a room. Upon arrival to the room, the man opens the door and enters. He is greeted by 15 men men and women who stand in attention at his presence. "At ease people." He says and the men and women sit. "Everyone present?"
"All accounted for, sir." One of the women says.
"Then let us begin." He says and then a screen turns on behind him. "The CDC have submitted reports on a new illness going around. Some even believe this to be a terror attack but no one really knows. Your job is not to find out where this started, but rather to prevent it from spreading any further. Now, this may seem farfetched but this is a surveillance footage sent to us by the Russians."
The screen then starts to play the given footage. A man eating another man, then the man turns and the two head to the streets. The video ends with the two men, and three cops being shot in the head by a squad of masked cops.
"Zombies?" One of the men ask as he cannot believe his eyes. He also unknowingly asked the question that was plaguing the others' minds.
"I told you, farfetched." The one giving the briefing says and then the screen goes back to the information. "Still, we might as well be too careful. That being said, I have already decided on who will lead the teams."
"I really hate you." A new man, no, teen says as he enters. He is dressed in a black SAS outfit but without the gas mask.
"Yes, well, you will be leading the teams. Are we clear, Mister Namikaze?"
"Hai, hai."
"Naruto-senpai!" One of the men stand to greet and Naruto just waves.
The briefer continues on after telling the man and Naruto to sit. "We have no idea of when this may happen, but as you all know, we may as well say our time is limited. Russia has already given an excuse for the surveillance you saw and since no one knows the truth, they said it was two murderers that had bad blood with the cops."
"So what you're telling us is that it is likely that our government may give the same excuse." Naruto says instead of asks as he knows how the world governments work. "Tell me, what would you do if I told you Angelo would come and help us?"
The man shrugs before looking at his watch. "Training starts tomorrow at TG 3. Good luck people, and until death do we part."
(A week before disaster)
Naruto leans on the edge of an aircraft carrier. Their organization was requested to move out to sea where there would be a lesser chance of them gaining infected people in the days to come, but the problem arises if they do get one. As the sound of planes and helicopters takeoff and land, Naruto turns his head to the right to see two od his teamates joking around.
"It's been far too long, Naruto."
The bloned's eyes widen as he hears the all too familiar voice. Before him stands a man wearing a black SAS uniform just like his own. However, the man's face is covered by a face mask similar to Kakashi's. The hair is black but is similar to the one Naruto has which is a crew cut. [Hair style from The Last]
"Indeed it has, Angelo." Naruto greets with a smile. He gets up from his perch and shakes the man's hand.
Angelo chuckles and motions Naruto inside the ship. "You remember that project my friend was working on?" He asks and doesn't expect an answer and he isn't disappointed. "He finished it and it works perfectly."
Naruto perks up at this and asks, "Oh? And what does it do exactly?"
Angelo just chuckles again before saying, "You'll find out eventually."
"Teams Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, and Delta, please proceed to the briefing room now."
Naruto looks over to Angelo and sees the frown on the man's face. However, he doesn't take it to mind as there are more important matters to attend to.
After arriving, Naruto is shocked at seeing a new video playing.
"This is the latest footage so far. This was dated only a day ago and is now our top concern. Reports say that someone has just entered the hospital an hour ago from a flight. The patient came from America where this video was captured. We have reason to believe that this man is infected, but we cannot move unless we have hard evidence."
"It will be too late by then." Angelo says. He always hated it when they are unable to stop something bad from happening just because of some stupid protocol.
The people in the room turn to face the newcomer and are surprised to Naruto standing by the newcomer's side.
"We're on the same boat, Angelo. But we must keep in mind that this isn't the Philippines where you made sure to prepare for the unexpected." The briefer says and goes to continue but is cutoff by the man he just spoke to.
"Even the Philippines did the same thing, but we actually don't hide the truth from our countrymen anymore. Now, every Filipino is prepared for the worse." Angelo's statement surprises the briefer and the others but this in turn made those in the briefing room realize that the Philippines may as well be their closest ally in regards to the possible support they may need.
"So what can we do?" A woman asks.
Naruto answers and the answer was simple. "We pray that we can react fast enough and that mankind is actually worth saving."
(Day of infection)
Tokonosu City was oddly quite at the early morning hours as it was usually already bustling with some activities like people heading to jobs or students heading to school.
The streets only had very few people walking about. Those people were actually quite puzzled as well since there were more people yesterday at these early hours. They simply brushed it off to the idea that some people just wanted to sleep in a bit this day. What they don't see though is a flight of 4 Black Hawk helicopters that are heading out to sea.
The men in the helicopters just look at the city with their eyes pealed. They are one of the many patrols sent to keep watch for any sign ofthe infected or if the infected ever even come into view. Usually they would not mind any odd behavior of the city populace. But seeing as how there were far too few people during an always busy hour made them suspicious. "Radio it in. I think today is the day." A feminine voice says to one of the pilots.
