Chapter 1:

Unlocked Gifts

They say that the world was different once. It was a place of wondrous technology and amazing places. However, something happened. Flame rolled across the planet, incinerating life everywhere. When it was all over, things were different.

With technology gone, the world once again became untamed as chakra wielders known as shinobi took over. Over time, the World-That-Was faded from memory. However, that wasn't quite the case.

An organization called Group 935 had, in the Old World, experimented with a rather curious substance known only as Element 115. When harnessed correctly, it could reanimate dead cells, heal wounds, and even power extraordinary weapons. However, Group 935 did NOT use it correctly. They exposed corpses to the Element, and the result was an experiment gone wrong with strength, speed, and, most importantly, an inability to be easily killed. This was on account of the fact that they were already dead.

Thus, a new race was born, and they were called Zombies. These creatures easily grew in numbers to rival their creators. This was the reason the World-That-Was became cleansed by fire.

The Element 115, however, did not end. No one had ever really understood its entirety. It passed down through the DNA of those who had been exposed to it for any length of time. Finally, it's journey through time ended in the Five Great Shinobi Nations. By this point, it would have been considered a Kekkei Genkai, or Bloodline Limit. It was not classified as such because no one knew that it existed. The only clan to display some of its side effects, which are prolonged life and healing, was the almost-extinct Uzumaki Clan.

None of that great clan were ever able to access the Element hidden in their very DNA.

Until now...

Naruto gritted his teeth as the drunk villagers ripped into his little 7-year old form. The pain was, as always, horrible, but he WOULD overcome it. He would survive and become the next Hokage!

Little did Naruto know, but his life was about to change.

Deep inside his mind, the great Nine-Tailed Fox stirred from its deep slumber for the first time. Having been sealed away before, it realized where it was immediately. "Damn it." the Fox grumbled to itself. As if being sealed again wasn't bad enough, its containers mind was a sewer!

Literally!

"Could be worse, I guess. At least I didn't get locked up in a teapot like Shukaku did. Now then, lets see what this brat has going for him." With this said, the demon began to look around the mind of it's new host.

It saw Naruto's memories and was, quite frankly, disgusted at his treatment at the hands of the villagers. Throwing those aside, the Fox looked into his genetic code and saw something interesting.

"A Kekkei Genkai? Interesting..." it muttered as it examined a strand of Naruto's DNA. A segment of the double helix was glowing. Inquisitively, the Nine-Tailed Fox extended one of its tails and touched the glowing DNA.

What it found made is smile in a demonic way.

"This outta be a good time!" the Fox said gleefully. With that said, the demon pushed some of its chakra into the DNA, activating the Kekkei Genkai.

Naruto felt a strange sensation growing in his stomach. Suddenly, he felt pain course through his body. His fingers lengthened to become claws. He grew taller and more muscular. Having been smaller than average before, Naruto was now an average size for someone his age.

However, the worst pain he felt was in his eyes as they changed. He could feel them mutating into something else. Suddenly, information burst into Naruto's brain. His mind began to expand to make room.

Naruto saw images of a strange land with metal machines for transport. He saw groups of men in white coats experimenting on humans with a strange element. A name came to his mind:

115.

In that moment, Naruto knew what was happening. This was his birthright from the very beginning. This was his bloodline. His ASCENSION.

Glowing eyes snapped open.

"Naruto, are you awake? Can you hear me?"

Naruto opened his eyes to blackness. He realized that he had been blindfolded. However, he recognized the voice.

"Old man?" Naruto asked.

"Yes, Naruto I'm here. After I heard what happened, I hurried over immediately. When I arrived, it was..." the aged Hokage paused for a moment, but then continued. "Anyway, you gave us quite a fright."

"What happened, old man?" Naruto asked. "I remember the pain, and then I'm here."

"I was actually hoping you could tell me, my boy. I arrived at the scene of the incident to discover you surrounded by villagers...or at least they WERE villagers before you lashed out."

Naruto was stunned and slightly afraid. If he had killed the villagers, he would be punished by the Council. "I-I-I killed them?" he asked, fearful of what he would hear.

The Hokage hesitated, then said, "Not quite. Remove you blindfold and put these on." Naruto was handed a pair of goggles. He put the goggles on and looked around. What he saw made him gasp.

The villagers that had been beating him were standing in the room around his bed. However, they were slightly different. Their skin was palish-white now, instead of the healthy color they once were. Their mouth was hanging open slightly, but that wasn't important. Their eyes were a unnatural glowing orange that stared sightlessly ahead. He noticed that there was a doctor standing with the same condition as the villagers.

"Naruto." said the Hokage. Upon turning to look at him, he said, "Go into the bathroom, take your goggles off, and look in the mirror." Confused, Naruto got off the bed and entered the bathroom. Taking off the goggles, he saw his eyes and gasped.

His once blue eyes were now a brightly glowing orange that encompassed all of the eye, including the white. Naruto realized that his eyes were the same color as the villagers, just more brightly. Looking down, Naruto saw that his body was taller and more muscled. The nails on his hands had become claws.

Putting his goggles on and stepping out of the bathroom, he noticed that the villagers had taken up positions on either side of the doorway. Almost as if they were guarding him...

Naruto shook that thought away and approached the Hokage. "What happened, old man?" he asked.

The aged leader sighed. "Truthfully, I was hoping you could tell me, my boy." Naruto was about to respond when he felt information arrive in his head, along with memories of some unknown man named Richtofen. He repeated what he heard.

"It is a bloodline called the Ascension bloodline. It is powered by the Element 115, which is not found on this world. My blood has been partially replaced by the Element, so I can use its unique powers. First, it reanimates dead cells. This allows the dead to rise as zombies. Second, I project its properties through my eyes, turning anyone who looks into my eyes into a zombie. Finally, I can control the zombies I make as minions. There is a lot more to this bloodline, but I don't know what else is hidden away."

There was a pause. Finally Naruto asked, "How did I know that?"

The Hokage paused, then said "I would guess that there is information stored in you DNA along with this "115" that you speak of. However, I guess that some of your new abilities are activated already. When a doctor opened your eyes to examine them, he was turned into a zombie, so that means it is an unconscious ability. With time, you may be able to shut it off, but you should wear those goggles until then. We don't want you to accidentally zombie-fy whoever looks into your eyes, now do we?"

They shared some laughter. "Get some rest, Naruto. When you are well, come and see me." With that, the Hokage left the hospital.

Naruto was left with his new minions. As he closed his eyes, more information flew into his brain, along with more memories, this time those of a girl he had never met.

A girl named Samantha Maxis.

For those poor people who have never played the Zombies Mode on Call of Duty, "Ascension" is the name of one of the zombie maps. It is also the name of a group in the same game. As for Samantha "Sam" Maxis, any veteran of "Moon" who has played the Easter egg through should know who she is.

There is now a poll on our profile for how big the harem should be. The choices are:

Small

Medium

Large

Massive

F******* Big
