Chapter 2

(welcome back to my story it took me awhile to figure out how to handle this and i had to scrap an old idea and try again, hope you enjoy, and FYI no one is going to die. Sorry if you wanted to see some heavy hitting drama, but I don't like writing that, sorry. Also I made a few changes to the last chapter so it would fit better.)

Choji read the day on the page it read 1 year ago today "Well Ero-sennin told me to write a journal of the events that happen to me here so I'll start with this, this place isn't so bad, it seems pretty normal. Maybe that's why Ero-sennin brought me here, to learn how to hide the Kyuubi's chakra and make people believe i'm normal. It seems like a good idea so i'll go with it for now."

"Ok that doesn't tell us anything, read the next page." Ordered Ino. Choji read the next page.

"Well its official, Ero-sennin is out to get me. He enrolled me into the local high school here and it is just like the academy, only not focused on ninja history, but Japan History. Japan is the name of the country i'm in and will be staying for the next year. Hopefully I can make some friends here."

"Ok now we're getting somewhere, but we need to know his exact location, Maybe he explains on the next page." Suggested Kiba. Once again Choji read the next page.

"It's official, this place is better than Konoha, people actually talk to me, and I even made a lot of friends, Takashi Komuro, who is protective of his friends, Kohta Hirano, a gun nut who had handled any gun you can think of, whatever a gun is, Saeko Busujima, the schools resident Kendo champion and one hell of a looker, Saya Takagi, self proclaimed genius, but shika could probably give her a run for her money, Hisashi Igou (Spoiler alert HE LIVES, again I can do anything), a nice guy who sticks up for his friends, and finally the beautiful Rei Miyamoto, those dark brown almost red eyes, that beautiful auburn hair, the face of an angel, and the body of a goddess, she is the captain of the sojutsu club which is using spears and other polearms. I think I'll like it here in Tokyo."

"Bingo we have our location, lets go get our knucklehead back!" Exclaimed Sakura. Then Kakashi said, "Ok everyone, we need to prepare for a long trip, Tokyo is beyond the veil so we will need to pack a lot of clothes be ready to leave in 3 hours." With a collective hai they went their separate ways. Hinata snuck into her room put up a silence seal and called Naruto.

(scene change Air Tokyo)

After watching some movies with the personal T.V. screens Naruto decided to read some news. He learned that Tokyo was now called The Dead Zone, because that was the place hit the hardest and few people lived. It is also where the world government decided to take all the dead and put them there to contain them. Naruto could see the logic, the dead can't swim and the water pressure would crush them if they got too deep, that didn't mean he agreed with the choice, it meant that his friend had to keep fighting, if they were still alive. He shook his head, he knew they were alive, he could feel indication poped up on his screne telling him they were flying over tokyo now, Naruto fassined his seat belt, and pushed a button on the over scene and was then dropped throught the floor to an area that was a like a giant glass bowl, as the trapdoor over head closed naruto was dropped through the flor and started plummeting twards the ground. He pulled a cord and was now safely floating down by parachute. After landing Naruto got a call on his cellphone, he saw that the number was from Hinata's and he answered "What you got for me Hinata?"

On the other end of the phone Hinata answered "Naruto-kun, Choji found your journal under your bed, and we know where you are, we're headin out in 3 hours."

"How much did you read?" inquired Naruto

"Only the first three pages, just enough to know where you are."

"Ooh that's perfect, then you guys don't know anything about this place, or the events that occurred here?"

"no nothing other than where you are and who you're friends are."

"Sweet, ok look at your bedside table, on it you should see piece of paper." Hinata turned to the table and saw the paper, "on it should be a seal, out it on before you get on the plane, when you cross the veil, there is a field of energy, if a ninja passes through it, it will cut off our access to your chakra, that seal will stop it." Hinata put the seal on her upper arm. "the only other peice of advice I can give you is that Tokyo is called The Dead Zone for several reasons, one reason is that 1 year ago an outbreak started turning anyone infected into a living dead who would seek out anything living and eat them, further spreading the infection, it spread worldwide and now it has been contained on the island of Japan. Be safe, and keep me posted." Naruto finished, as he hung up the phone. He put his phone away and started walking to Rika's house, he noticed the sun was setting and it would probably be dark by the time he got to Rika's house, so he started walking.

(scene change Konoha)

The rookie 11 was gathered at the North gate and waiting for Kakashi to make his grand appearance, after 10 min Kakashi showed up. "WHERE WERE YOU, YOU LAZY ASS!?" Came a familiar screech. After everyone cleaned out their ears, they made their way to Mist. Along on the trip, Hinata was a little worried for Naruto, but if he survived what he described to her on the phone, then he should be fine.

After making it to the airport, Hinata rechecked her seal and made sure no one knew she had it. They were given the run down on what to do and they boarded the plane and waited for their long trip to end.

(scene change with naruto)

After walking for hours, Naruto finally saw Rika's house in the distance, noticing the light coming from terrace, he took out a flashlight and signaled the other light, the first light went off and Naruto smirked. Upon reaching the house, Naruto found the door unlocked, inviting himself in, he opened the door and gave a loud "Ohayo minna" only to see no one in the hall. he walked in further and heard a collective "SURPRISE."And a yip. Before Naruto's eyes, he saw all his friends, Takashi, Saya, Saeko, Kohta, Alice, Shizuka-sensei, Hisashi, Rei, Rika, and their faithful companion Zero

Naruto Shed a tear of joy, "Oh you guy's are the best" Barely containing his happiness as tears

flew down his face, he ran to his friends and gave them all a big group hug, they laughed, and they cried. After they calmed down, Rika asked "So what happened after you left?". He told them about the battle against Pain, the fourth great shinobi war, and how his life went down the shiter after that. And the survivors (thats what i'm calling the group) were PISSED, "Why would they treat you like that after all the things you did for them!" Said Hisashi, to which Rei followed up with "Yeah, especially since you're the nicest, and purest guy in the world."

Hearing those words brought fresh tears to Naruto's eyes "Thanks guys you have no idea how happy it makes me feel knowing that there are people who care." "speaking of caring go up to the second floor and look in the middle locker, we got you some things." Said Kohta, curious naruto went up stairs, and opened the locker, only to find guns with a note saying "for Naruto" and when he saw the guns he yelled "FUCK YES" there was an xs-2 ultimax shotgun with barrel drum clip and stabilizer handle (that second handle on most guns to make your aim better) and a taurus judge magnum (basically two very powerful guns, and their about to be made even more powerful, just wait) Naruto quickly got out a scroll and painted a seal on to it, the seal made it so you never ran out if ammo, it was originally meant to kuni or shuriken pouches, so you never ran out of kuni or shuriken but when Naruto was here the first time he tried it on a smith n' wesson and it acted the same way with the bullets. After drawing the seal on both guns he put the taurus in a hip holster, and the ultimax in a back holster. He went back downstairs and said "Have I ever told you guys how much you rock?" he got a collective nod and asked "How did you get your hands on these?"

"We had a little help from Rika in that department, she had friends in the military who know we want to stay here, she asked them to restore your old guns." In the blink of an eye Naruto was on the stairs then embracing Rika "Thank you Rink-nee." A little surprised by the movement, Rika stumbled for a seconds, before returning the embrace. "Well with that done, why don't you guys tell me how the conversation went after i called Rei-chan." Naruto said.

"Well it went something like this…"

(flashback, after Naruto called Rei)

"And I love you too my sweet fox."

Rei said and hung up. She let out a squeal and did a chaine(pronounced sh-en-ay) an put her phone down, she then heard a groggy "What the fuck are you doing up so early, and so loud, do you want to attract 'them' " Asked a half asleep Saya Takagi

"Naruto's coming back Saya, he's coming back!" Rei said excitedly

"Shut up, now way!" Yelled a surprised and happy Saya

"What is all the racket, it's too damn early to be yelling" Saeko said as she turned over in her bed, trying to get as much sleep as possible.

"Saeko-sempai, Naruto's coming back!" Rei repeated with the same enthusiasm. This got Saeko up and atom, she jolted up from the bed said "Really? Thats great, we have to tell the boys." Too excited to get dressed they got up in their sleeping clothes, which were very revealing, they shook Shizuka-sensei, and Rika awake and told her the news, then went to where Alice, Takashi, Hisashi, and Kohta were sleeping. It was the room which Zero was "guarding" the girls snuck around the sleeping dog and opened the door and were about to go wake the boys up but Saya suddenly had an idea. "Wait, you know how then little sister wakes up her older brother in manga?" At first there was a shocked look on everyones face, Saya Takagi, self-proclaimed genius, just admitted to reading manga. After realising what she just said, Saya blushed looked away and tried to make a good excuse but nothing was coming. The other girls nodded, albeit with sly smirks on their faces, and went and pulled off the sheets and yelled "WACKY WACKY BOYS" they yelled the guys were all scared shitless and all tumbled to the ground with a scream and an 'oof', they heard a barking, obviously zero, Takashi yelled "What the hell was that for." He looked to see Rei, Saya, Saeko, Shuzuka-sensei, and Rika standing there with big smiles on their faces, Takashi asked "OK what's got all you in a good mood?" Rei said "Naruto's coming this got everyones attention,"Onee-chan is coming back!?" said a very happy and now awake Alice, "Yes he is Alice." Alice gave a Yatta and everyone had to resist the KAWAII reaction. "Lets get a party ready for him, to welcome him back." Suggested Kohta. Everyone nodded in agreement, and got to work.

(flashback over)

Naruto was giggling after hearing that Saya read manga, then smiled his first genuine in a long time. "Well lets get this party started!" Said Hisashi. For the next hour the survivors acted like they were the only people on the earth.
