Currently, the world was under the great arc of the Ninjas, they were moved by the force of chakra, they were segregated among several hidden villages and among the several humans, there was Lotus, an alien, ancient as the sand on the beaches, she was walking among these ninjas remembering the past war between the Grinners, the Infested, and the Corpus. She was tasked to maintain the order among these species with several warriors called Tennos.
The grinners were clones and clones of themselves and themselves, so many mutations they have not lost genetic information within their beings, which is vital for anyone to survive, therefore, they were some sort of cyborgs, implanting robotic parts to survive. Funny enough, the Corpus provided them the parts for them to survive, and they were another faction in this world.
The corpus was the noble, the royals in the space, they loved to do trading and selling goods, their only purpose was: profit. Therefore, they sold their technology to their enemies, so that they would get profit.
Lastly, there was the Infested, for some a bunch of parasites, they were worse than death. These could infest not only living beings but also machines. Their origin was unknown, and they were very hard to study on as they would corrupt and infest anything.
Nevertheless, this unbalance was being monitored and controlled by the Tenno, the army led by Lotus, they possessed a strong army, even the weakest warrior survived. They all possessed a primary weapon, and then a secondary weapon, and then a melee weapon.
The war between all of them had lasted for generations until something happened, something unexpectable, the Grinners and Corpus after fighting each other, they united forces, and they destroyed each and every single Tenno with the combination of strategy, technology, and rage. They were going against Lotus, but she escaped in this world, within the Konoha Village, learning her surroundings, and aiming for a come back in this war.
Lotus would spend hours while walking from one side to another to understand and find the perfect Tenno, the most powerful one. She lived in her spaceship deep within the ground, in a place not so far from the village. She was researching the parasites, something just a few dares, as they were cunning and would survive to anything. Nevertheless, she has made some progress, she was finally able to communicate with them with a combination of several hissing noises. And, at the end of the day, just as any other being in the universe, they wanted to survive, and also to become stronger. They wanted to combine forces with another being, but the subject must be willing to forget everything else and just focus on the parasites will, which was very hard to find. Because not only needs to be willing to pursue the religion of the parasites but also needs to be strong in order to follow the very painful and erratic assimilation.
That was the mission Lotus had on her hands, she was wondering who while walking down a street in Konoha, and she did get looks, she was stunning and beautiful: A white skin just as a snow, a long purple hair touching her hips, it would move through the streams of the wind, her clothing was a skin-tight picturing her curves, it was some sort of latex material but not shiny. Her eyes were strange to the villagers, she had two pupils, but she often wore sunglasses. Her mental powers were incredible, she could know everyone who was surrounding her in a perimeter of kilometers. She has had tried with several humans, but they all failed and ended up being food for the parasites.
Nevertheless, this day was different, after several months of searching, it seemed she finally found someone interesting, she tried to follow the energy he was emitting, it was only a boy, filled with a great stamina and energy, the specimen was called Naruto apparently, and since then, she did not lose her eyes on him.
After months of research since the first encounter, it was clear from the formulas and simulations, his assimilation success rate was almost 90%, he was a kid who did not have parents, he was hated by the society due to the beast he was holding inside him. This beast made possible to have a great success rate in the assimilation.
It was tomorrow the day she would pick him up, it was the rebirth day of the parasites.
It was morning, and the new sun was shining across Konoha. Naruto was waking up, he was yawning and stretching. He lived in a bachelor apartment near downtown. He woke up, put on the usual clothes, and ran towards the academy. Today it was the graduation day. Meanwhile, he was running through the trees to the academy, Lotus grabbed him. Lotus had waited for him as he always took the same route every day. She grabbed him by the neck and pushed him against the wall in a dark alley.
Naruto was trying to open his mouth, but Lotus wasted no time, she kissed him deeply, her tongue was moving around inside until reaching to his throat where she left some nanobots from Corpus technology to make him sleep. They reacted fast, Naruto was knocked out in seconds. Lotus let him go, and he fell to the ground. She grabbed him and carried him to her back and she went back to her ship.
When she arrived, she moved fast, she was so eager, she let him in a room with a capsule in the middle. It was full of parasites, this was the Test Room in the ship, she built the room to be one of the most resistant, capable of holding parasites in their full rage. The capsule was made of thick glass, and the parasites seemed to be calmed today, they were in liquid form, stagnant, without moving an inch. Everything changed when Naruto arrived. They started moving, with an uncontrolled pattern. Lotus left him in a corner and moved towards the capsule. After that, she left the room, she locked it down. The doors were closing, they were thick, and bulletproof until a shut noise echoed the ship.
Lotus moved to a separate room where she monitored the situation, she had Naruto's health parameters as she would call them, especially the heartbeat. She learned after years of research, the beating is important for the Infested race. She also had an infrared vision across the room, the only hot spot being Naruto, the Infested had a very cold surrounding, one of the scientists mentioned they consume all energy surrounding them, including the heat.
Lotus was also studying the beating of the Infested in the capsule, they were calmed at the moment with a very slow beating, the energy across them was uniform, and after a few hours, Naruto started to wake up.
- "Where am I?" he wondered,
- "What is this place?" he said.
The room was pitch black but a lamp shining above the capsule. Naruto was confused, he did not know what to expect, he wanted to see what the thing in the middle was, maybe there was a button. He approached as he was waking up completely, and the black substance started to move, like if it was a sea with waves across the capsule. He, unconsciously, leaned on the glass to see closer, the waves were morphing into tentacles, the tentacles were growing at a 90-degree angle across the sea of parasites inside.
- "What the hell is this?" he yelled.
But it seemed too late, these tentacles were growing and all pushing and hitting the glass. Naruto stepped back, as he heard the banging sound of the glass, he kept moving backward until the over 100 tentacles broke the glass into pieces.
- "What the hell is that?"
- "Let me go, motherfuckers!" Naruto yelled with all his lungs.
Lotus was looking at his high heartbeat, she smirked, she knew that was what triggered them. It was just a matter of seconds to see if it was going to be a success or a failure. She started looking at the behavior of the parasites approaching Naruto. The over 100 tentacles were some merging into other ones, while others just kept the same shape. They were all going towards him, but slowly, slithering through the cold floor.
Naruto moved to the corner of the room, he had some kunais, he threw them to the parasites, but some of the tentacles slithered around them and melted them away, he tried to use his chakra, but he felt weak. The massive number of parasites in the capsule was enough that his chakra was being absorbed through the air.
It was hopeless, too late, the tentacles were now slithering through his feet, going up through his legs, and their bodies were leaking a substance which was dissolving his clothing. He was becoming naked in this cold room. Some tentacles stopped between his legs, they were merging with one another, and a mouth appeared, the mouth let loose few smaller tentacles that were grabbing it and pushed it inside.
- "Aaaahhhhhhhh", he felt one of the biggest pain.
Other tentacles stopped at his nipples, teasing them, trying to enter through them. Naruto passed out due to the pain and stress on his body. Further tentacles moved to his ears, nose, mouth, entering them, all of them were entering them. A couple even consumed his eyes in order to enter his brain. Strange enough, none of them entered through his butt.
Lotus was looking at how the beating of Naruto was increasing, it was trying to reach the same beating of the parasites, it was trying to be synchronized. The theory said once the beating of the two beings is synchronized, they are truly one entity. She does not know when it will reach that level, but she was thrilled.
Naruto was covered in tentacles, moving and slithering onto his body, the movement caused a secretion of a substance. It was very viscous, and transparent, some may describe it as whitish. Their volume was increasing, covering all the body. Tentacles were rising Naruto's body onto the air, so the substance may cover him completely. The top layer was solidifying forming what was a cocoon.
- "They are giving him a chance," Lotus said in happiness. She had to say so, it never happened before.
The body of Naruto was floating inside the cocoon, he was connected to the inner walls of the cocoon via the tentacle he had between his legs, the four tentacles coming from his eyes sockets and nose. He was completely submerged, he was able to breathe due to the tentacles on his nose which reached his lungs. His beating became normal, he was calmed.
Lotus was monitoring the temperature of the cocoon, it had some warm, meaning Naruto was not yet assimilated. She had no idea of what he might become, or what he will be after, would he remember his friends? That could mean a risk, she had to be sure if he was successful, that he would take his task.
Inside Naruto's mind, he was waking up in a different dimension, Kyuubi was not there, nor his chakra as it was consumed by the parasites. What he saw was a hallway, a dark one with water just below his knees.
- "It is cold," he said.
He was naked, but he couldn't see his body, he was trying to understand where he was.
- "Who is that?" he asked.
He was looking at a female shape, it seemed human, and she was approaching. She had very nice curves, but she had no legs, just several tentacles. She was slithering towards him. As she was walking closer to him, the more she could see. She was hairless, she instead had horns. In less than a second, she was standing just a few inches away from him. He realized that was Kushina, his mother, but what happened to her.
- "Mom?" he wondered. He was confused, he wanted to see her closer.
- "Na… ru… to…, you are our King, son," she answered.
The parasites had all images of the people who changed Naruto's life, and his mother appeared to be the highest in importance. The Infested were experts at manipulating beings, not even the high intelligent Corpus were capable of taming them. Lotus made a deal with them, that's the only reason she's alive.
- "You are not my mother. What do you want from me?"
- "I am the bringer of pleasure, the most principal feeling capable of bringing life. You will be the bringer of life, Naruto" she said while Naruto was experiencing the very first orgasm in his life.
- "Humans love pleasure, just like any other being, and you will have endless, it will divide and multiples us," she said as Naruto was on his knees, submerged in the water.
- "Don't keep a drop inside you, do not hold it," she said as she kneed down, and touched his face.
- "Come, accept us, they all hate you beyond these walls," she said as she pushed his little face and kissed him. She was embracing him.
On his surrounding, he could see the people he cared for, and the people he loved from the very first love until the last one, Sakura, one of the most precious friends in his life. He knew she didn't like him, but she cared about him.
- "Accept us, we are all of them, but in millions," she said through his mind now as she continued to kiss.
- "I do… I want to bring life…" Naruto finally said the words.
Everything was changing, the dimension was breaking down, and he was inside the cocoon completely conscious, he tried to see, but he had no eyes, he tried to move, but that's when it started, he started to understand. Kushina was not a body, it was a collection of bodies, the collection of every single cell forming each parasite in his surrounding, their beating and energy was singing around him.
- "That is the hive," she explained.
The human beating was accelerating, it was not human anymore. The assimilation was going well. The temperature was decreasing, and it seemed there was some movement from outside of the cocoon.
Once Naruto understood what his family was, millions of cells all working for him to make him alive once again, to make him reborn. He was thrilled.
- "I can hear you, Crown Prince," she said.
- "Open your mouth, and let it begin," she concluded.
Naruto did so, and the tentacle on his mouth started moving rapidly just like the one between his legs, it was painful, but it was necessary. They were pushing the right mix of genetic information. He couldn't see, but he could feel them, the tentacle on his mouth was reaching his stomach. Naruto opened his mouth wider, he curved his throat to make it easier to enter.
- "I am welcoming your blessing, Mother Queen" he already knew how to call her.
Naruto was shredding his blood into the pool, each of the tentacles was eating it, to consume energy and to have enough to work on him. The Infested species around the ship burst and moved to the cocoon, the vessels were breaking and slowly they were permeating inside the room, forming tentacles which penetrated the cocoon entering Naruto's.
- "I welcome you all, come…," Naruto ordered and they kept coming. "All have left me, but you."
Parasites were working around the tentacle in his mouth, some were forming his new jaw and his fangs. They were like bees worshipping and working for him. The fangs were forming long and sharp, they were white and clean.
Naruto could feel them, but he could also feel how his neck was forming some glandules, one on each side, he tried to squeeze them, but nothing happened, he then moved his jaw and felt the fangs once again. The parasites were also forming four fingers around his mouth, each ending with one long single fang, the fangs were pointing inwards. Spontaneously as Naruto moved his jaw, he moved the fingers taking a movement of inwards.
It was already four months since the capture day, and it would take some more time, the process was indeed slow. Lotus was still doing her regular walks meanwhile Naruto was growing. She monitored him constantly. She was also looking for candidates for him.
Back in the cocoon, his jaw was complete, and the tentacle inside his mouth and digestive tract, broke from the inner wall, and it launched inside him, it was merging within him. Naruto was able now to sense something different as it was forming. He was sensing smells, but not only that, he was sensing the beating, the fundamental principle in the Infested.
- "Crown Prince, you're getting closer, you need to sense the beating of the Hive," the Mother Queen said.
The beating was fast, he was trying to reach it, and then his tongue went back inside, it was gaining momentum slowly coming at the rate of the beat. As he was gaining momentum, his new hair was growing, they were dreadlocks, thick, they were floating in the fluid as his head was growing backward, it was thin but becoming longer.
- "Keep moving the tongue, just a bit faster," she said.
The parasites were covering his body with his new skin, insectoid chitin, extremely powerful. The beating was matching the beat of all the other tentacles slowly, and Naruto was learning how to keep it and maintain it.
Several tentacles were merging inside the cocoon, forming a new tentacle, this one was thicker than any other one that was formed in the now past six months. It was forming a blade at the end and it was swimming around Naruto until the time comes. His arms were mutating as well as his hands, he had now had four fingers, longer than his human ones, and the claws were growing, the same chitin was covering them. The same happens with his legs, the same chitin was covering them but now he had three talons at the front and two at the bottom giving him the ability to climb walls.
He was adapting now two new arms, his tongue, his skin, and legs. Now it was between his legs, the tentacle on his length, started to connect itself rather than sucking it started to enter him connecting itself with his reproductive abilities, this movement brought the tentacle to detach from the walls of the cocoon, the movement was at a higher speed of the parasites beating, they were now aroused, and the end of the tentacle was growing, just like a balloon when giving helium.
- "Crown Prince, as a member of the family, you must have your offspring, give LIFE," the Mother Queen said as Naruto felt squeezed
Naruto unconsciously also moved his tongue at the now beat, he always tried but never matched it. He felt a huge amount of pain, but it was the pain of giving birth. The balloon was forming several fangs and between the fangs, embryos were forming, they were transparent.
- "You have to give every single drop to them". Naruto truly gave an effort.
- "Can you feel them?" Mother Queen echoed in his mind.
- "Yes… It is moving" Crown Prince replied as the balloon was moving onto his back.
- "They are drinking out of me!" he hissed forming air bubbles inside.
- "They are your offspring, your sons, they are a subset of the hive, they know you're their father, take care of them," Mother Queen said.
While he was distracted by what was happening, the long tentacle took the chance and enter him from behind him, it was merging with his spinal column, it was a tail, it was moving rapidly, while Naruto's nerve system was getting assimilated, he was feeling everything. He then felt the last thing on him, lips. He did not have lips on his head, the fangs were exposed. Those were the lips on the palms of his hands, they had the shape of a circle and a tentacle was coming out of them, they were covered by fangs all around.
A chemical was getting released now from the cocoon walls, which Naruto smelled and it was the trigger action for him to break, to rebirth. The finally connected tail moved and broke the cocoon; the viscous fluid splashed on the floor, and the almost three meters long creature came out, in a fetal position with his tail slowly moving. Lotus was looking at it through the cameras. It was covered completely in strong chitin, he was eyeless.
- "It has one beating," Lotus yelled. "It's a success".
He started to move slowly, trying to get onto his four limbs, the tail moving slowly, the head was parallel to his body, it was so long it almost reach to the start of his tail. Spontaneously, the tail moved to his right side, showing the blade pointing forward. He then released his tongue, he sensed the smell of Lotus and other humans who died here. His dreadlock hair was falling almost touching the floor, he was standing on his four limbs, and between his legs, it was the main tentacle going towards the backpack he had on his back. The several embryos could be seen along with his back, each embryo was transparent, with a yellow color which was across his body. The tentacle between his leg was moving for sure, at the beating of the Infested, they were sucking Naruto's fluid, and he needed more.
- "You need to breed more sons, and they will give birth as they please. You need to keep breeding for you to survive, they will consume you if you don't feed them. Feeding is essential," Mother Queen said as Naruto felt them sucking out of his now internal organs.
While listening, he attempted to move, moving for the first time his new hands, the two middle fingers were double the length as the other two.
- "Crown Prince, move, explore," Mother Queen said to him.
- "The day you have your first bride, you'll become King of the Hive," Mother Queen said through him.
He released his tongue, it was a fast released, soundless and smoothly, it came back at the momentum to keep the beat, and the fast release was enough to smell but also sense the heat map surrounding him in the room, and even beyond the room.
- "The Infested always live on someone else, and you need brides to help you survive, brides that can hold the cost of corruption," Mother Queen said.
The parasites that formed the cocoon were melting and merging into tentacles meanwhile Naruto was walking, and these tentacles jumped to the back of Naruto, breaking his chitin, merging into his spine.
- "Hssssss" a very high pitch noised sounded breaking the remainder of the capsule glass on the room.
Naruto was going to fall down onto the floor but held strong, the tentacles were now his tentacles, they were six, three on each side, almost six meters long. Naruto flinched and they released spikes through their length. At the end of each tentacle, a pointing end could be seen. The tentacles rose him as he started walking, climbing onto the walls, the six tentacles were moving parallel to the floor, he was gaining another sense, through the spikes along the six tentacles. It was a sixth sense, alertness.
- "Hssss…" Naruto gave out his first hiss, he was claiming for food, for food for his children.
He continued moving, at first he scratched the walls but he had controlled it by now, the tentacles were surrounding his way. They were somewhat independent as they were merged outside the cocoon, they did not emerge from within him.
He kept walking, almost completing one loop in the room until he felt he really wanted to release something from his tongue, but he couldn't, he tried harder but he couldn't. The glandules around his neck stressed as he tried, but it was dry.
- "Crown Prince, you are aiming for your honey, your offsprings will bring you the ingredients so you can have yours, but they need to feed, you need to feed. I feel them ready to be born, but without food, there's no point," Mother Queen claimed her.
- "Hiss…" Naruto hissed once more until he felt something.
Lotus had kept many specimens, including humans in the ship, and she just released one, he fell from the ceiling.
- "Parasite, no fear, I have given you food," Lotus said in a hissing pattern.
The man was waking up, it was all darkness, he saw something in the center but it was broken, glass was all around, he started to stand up.
- "You have freed me?" he wondered loudly as he started walking.
- "What is this place?" he said while looking at the lamp flicking above the now completely broken glass capsule.
He came closer to the capsule, as it was the only thing with light, as he heard some noise, something was with him.
- "Who's there?" he said.
- "Hisss…" a hissing was heard.
Naruto could feel his heartbeat, it was way slower than his. Naruto heard something else, he felt the long movement of sucking resounding through him, those were the embryos on his back. This being was short, it was only one life, not more. It was food. Naruto moved as the six tentacles were moving constantly to catch each of his moves through the wind. Those were his eyes, he could sense the shape now, he was moving just behind him.
- "You have felt his beating, you see, he is just prey, he has no hive to keep alive," Mother Queen said, Naruto was understanding perfectly as his tongue was coming out.
Nevertheless, he thought of the embryos, his offsprings, they were always a priority, they needed to feed, and they have sensed the beating as well. They were giving birth, the embryos were opening, a popping sound was followed by a buzzing sound. The six tentacles pierced through the metal walls as Naruto was giving birth.
- "Hsss…" a pitch sound was sounding out of Naruto as the buzzing was becoming louder and louder.
- "What's happening?" The man ran back to where the hole was, he was trying to find it, he found a kunai, and grabbed it, and then he saw them.
They were spiders at the front but they had a snake body ending in a tail with a talon. They had four wings buzzing, they had no eyes but just around the mouth with small teeth. They had the size of a human hand, they moved towards the human.
- "They will always follow the beating different from ours, and that's why they will kill you if you stop giving us fluid at the beat, you need to have fluids in order to live," Mother Queen said as he saw them on the action.
- "Get off," the human said as they were crawling on his body, following the source of the beating.
The human heartbeat was getting higher, making it obvious he was in fear, or they are aroused. Naruto was observing them.
- "Feel how high it is, human's get a high beating when they are terrified, aroused," Mother Queen explained.
They were moving just beneath the human's skin, like scarabs, moving to look for the source, and then sucking it. The human was getting dry, with no fluids. The offsprings were following the beating, going to their hard, and they started to suck the fluids, all of them, blood, they were getting big, as they came out of his body. He felt onto the floor, yelling in hell, as one of the offsprings came out through his mouth, and others came out through the torso.
They were flying directly towards Naruto, and Naruto was moving to the human who was surprisingly still alive, he was bleeding a bit of what he had left. The offsprings were flying around Naruto, moving to Naruto's nipples which were thicker and an inch longer, the offspring were pushing into them, penetrating the fluids out of the human into a new system within Naruto. It was his first time and it was very painful, and he had over ten offspring in the line, they were desperate to feed him.
- "Hsss" – the hissing was high, he tried to move the tentacles to move them off, but it was in vain, the six tentacles did not listen.
Naruto was feeling his glandules forming, growing, getting filled with honey. Once one son was done, another one moved to take its place, and the cycle continued.
- "Are you feeling it? That is your honey. You'll start releasing it in no time," Mother Queen said.
As Naruto got used to this new experience, his hunger did not end, he still needed food, and he rose his tail, stabbing the blade in the human's torso, the stab completed his death, he moved him closer, and with his hands, he sunk the claws around the head. The hand was shaped perfectly for grabbing heads, as he had learned. Naruto pulled the head along with the human's spinal column, and he threw them to the side. Some of the offsprings moved towards it as it had some remainder of blood.
Naruto started eating it, with his tongue he grabbed the pieces into his mouth, leaving nothing behind, he was ready to follow the instinct, to recruit brides, and more importantly, to corrupt species and destroy the Ninja world.
Many clans, many opponents, and many challenges are on the Infested.
