Chapter 11: Druid, Vampire, Bog Unicorn and Cradle?
A man was running through the woods at night, he had numerous large open wounds on his body, and was naked as the day he was born. He had painful lumps growing out of his skin when the person crash into a tree branch and ruptures one of the lumps as maggots started pouring out of his wounds. There were some maggots and other parasite eating away at his open wounds, and he had large tumors on his back. Blood and other assorted waste and fluid were coming out of the guy's ass due to his digestive tract and stomach having a massive break down and it was just spilling away from his body.
"I need to get away." the man said as he started experience a seizure as he hold himself to a tree. Blood was coming out of his nose along with grey jelly as the blood brain barrier in his head was gone and his brain was slowly turning to mush.
"Need to keep moving..." the man said as he started to hear a growl.
"No.." the man couldn't say anymore as he was experience paralysis and couldn't breath as he hear a large growl as he see a massive figure right in front of him. The man vision was started to blur as he can hardly see what the thing was in front of him as something the being touch him as suddenly black spots started forming on his skin as the being walked away from him as the men dropped to the ground be covered in blood, various fluid and feces. The man was dead as maggots and other parasite were coming out his skin.

It was a Monday morning wyeh a civilian jogger was taking a run across the forest. Konohagakure wasn't that far behind, and the Jogger knows there are other people doing their routine in the forest. She kept on walking until she smelled something very awful. She slow down as she was confuse where that horrible smell was coming from until trip over something in the path.
"Huh what in the world I trip over?" the women asked as she then looked back as she see the corpse a very sickly looking corpse that was covered in maggots and parasites.
"KKKYYYYAAAHHH!" the women screamed in terror.
Xxxxxx
At the NCIS headquarters Team 7 had been assigned as special liasion from the hokage to handle special cases. Since the Kyouki fiasco, the number of genin available had shrunk. Due to the fact that many civilian council blamed the defection of 'Sasuke' on Naruto they decided better safe then sorry and assigned the team to the NCIS building for the foreseeable future. This allowed them to see how their new friends did their business.
Right now Yuuske was doing something whenever he was bored: pranking the coworkers. He enlisted the help of Sakura who was reluctant to help.
Zee had come in with Coffee to see Yuuske moving away from Chosa's desk.
She looked at the genin: Naruto was looking at some files, Ino was with her dad, and Hinata was waiting at Jethro's desk. "Can I ask what Yuuske is doing?"
Naruto looked at Zee and pointed to Sakura. "Yuuske wanted to prank Chosa with Sakura's puppet which she only agreed to because it wouldn't hurt him."
Zee shook her head and sat down.
Yuuske clapped his hands, "Alright, Now to wait for the finale."
"What finale," asked familiar, aged voice. Yuuske blanched and turn to see his boss standing there. "Hi boss, I was just cleaning Chosa's desk."
Jethro rolled his eyes. "Grab your gear, Team 7 come with us, we have a dead ninja at a training ground." The teams got ready as Chosa ran in breathless. He started getting his gear and opened the drawer with the puppet, and screamed which got their attention. Chosa looked at his team and narrowed his eyes at Yuuske who was grinning. He looked at Sakura who at least had an apologetic look. Chosa sighed and got his stuff before running after his co-workers.
Xxxxxxx
Both Team 7 and NCIS Team exit out of the headquarters as they walk through the village until they reach the training ground. Several ANBU were blocking the area as Jethro walked up to a female ANBU wearing a Cat Mask.
"So Cat, what do we have here?" Jethro asked as Cat looked at him.
"Well earlier this morning a Ms. Yukina trip over this disease ridden dead body and all of concluded this body is actually very fresh, but we can't get close to it right now." Cat said.
"Why is that?" Jethro asked.
"The body has the Black Plague, so we're getting some Hazmat ANBU over here." Cat replied.
Yuuske stood stock still and backed up. Hinata looked at Chosa. "What happened to him?"
Chosa looked at Yuuske as the Hazmat ANBU came in. "Yuuske got infected with the plague and he does not want to relive that experience."
Hinata looked at Yuuske who started hitting on one of the female ANBU, which is also when Ducky came in his hazmat suit walking next to his apprentice, John Nichalous.
"How the heck did you pass the navigation part of the academy? Training ground 27 is in the west part of the village, so how you wound up in the Forest of Death is beyond me." Ducky said in a ranting frenzy as they passed the tape.
After a few moments of examining later he looked up at Jethro, "Based on preliminary reports he was cut with a knife and bleed a tremendous amount, but the cause of death is a combination of bleeding out and infection brought on by the plague. I will have to do a more thorough examination but for now we need to get this to the lab."
Jethro sighed and walked back to the team, "So how did the plague get into this body and for that matter how did it get into Konoha?" He looked at the ninjas, "I'm going to need your help, your eyes your gossiping your puppets and your healing factor. Consider yourselves NCIS investigators for this case."
The four looked on in shock at that.
"This is amazing I actually get to be an investigator right now," Ino said in shell shocked joy.
"Isn't that one of your dream to eventually take over your dad's job," asked Hinata.
"Yes it is," Ino replied.

Five Minute Later
Naruto looked around in his hazmat suit, and noticed something red on the ground, "Dried blood." He looked around until he found Hinata, "Hinata come over here." Hinata walked over as fast as the Hazmat suit could allow, which got the attention of the others. "Can you use your Byakugan to see what's in that direction." Hinata nodded and activated it, and she saw the blood and starting walking towards that direction. She noticed as they got further down the trail there were maggots that were giving off faint chakra signatures. She walked until it came to a clearing and she gasped. She saw a bloody pile with more maggots on it. She quickly walked off to the bushes and threw up. Ino quickly followed her and Naruto went to comfort the girls while the NCIS team saw the sight.
"Good Kami what are we dealing with," Ducky said as they saw the piles.
"These maggots are giving off a faint chakra signature," Kakashi said out loud as he was looking at the trail of maggots.
"Wait a second this body is very fresh as well, and maggots wouldn't have the time to grow on it this quickly?" Kurenai said.
"So that mean these maggots are actually." Kakashi said
"Summons." Jethro finish for him.
"So what do we do right now?" Ino asked as Jethro looked around at both teams. Since the ANBU and Ducky have already left leaving them as the only ones able to investigate the training ground.
"We going to split up." said Jethro; he remembered there was a swamp nearby.
"Huh, why are we doing that," asked Yuusuke.
"You didn't take notice of the footprints," Jethro simply responded as everyone looked down and there it was a set of footprints that was heading deep into the woods.
"We're going to split up, but we all going to keep good contact of each other, meaning teams of two." Jethro said.
After some discussion the teams were set. The two senseis would be together, Ino would be with Chosa, Yuuske with Jethro, Sakura with Zee, and Naruto and Hinata.
The couple was looking through the forest with Hinata using her Byakugan every once in while she found similar maggots along the trail.
"Why would someone use such gross creatures, I mean they are eating dead things.
Naruto shrugged. "Beats me, Ducky said they were the main cause of death. Me I just slash and be done with it."
"Yet that slash equals multiple pieces." Hinata deadpanned getting Naruto to pout. They walked in silence for a few minutes when they heard something snap. They looked and saw several trees falling, forcing the two to go in separate directions.
"Hinata are you okay," Naruto called out.
"Yes but it seems we can't get over these trees. There is a canyon not too far from here, so we are to have to meet up later."
Naruto agreed and they went down the path unaware of the eyes watching them.
Xxxxxx
Hinata started walking as she was by herself. She was on the lookout for anything that was out of the ordinary. She knows those trees didn't fall over by themselves, either that, or they were just dead trees. She might have started to become paranoid, but it is good idea to be paranoid when you consider her situation.
"Hey there another maggot trail," Hinata said to herself as she activated her Byakugan as she kept on following after the maggots. She then heard something. "Who there?" asked Hinata.
"Naruto is that you?" She asked as the she keep hearing things snapping. She looked around until she then felt a presence right behind her, so she turn around as she see a very tall figure wearing a fur cloak was before her. The figure then touch her head with it finger as Hinata vision started to become blurry, and she started feeling feverish too, and she started coughing up a bloodly mucus.
She then took notice of a weird mushroom growing in her path. "Why do I feel compelled to eat them?" Hinata asked herself as she walked up to the mushroom and pick them up.
"Maybe these will help me out, they look almost similar to the medical mushroom or they can be poison mushroom?" Hinata said as she just shrugged her shoulder and took a bite out of the mushroom. Instead of feeling better, she passed out.
Five Minute Later
Hinata got up and she was looking around, mesmerized by how beautiful everything looked; the sky looked cheerful and the trees looked friendly. Hinata started wandering off as she was in awe of nature. A few minute later Hinata came across a beautiful meadow filled with flowers, and she saw something she only heard from her mother. She saw a beautiful white Unicorn that was right before her.
"Oh hello there mister Unicorn, don't be afraid of me." Hinata said as she approached the Unicorn as it was eating a flower. She then started touching the Unicorn as it just ignore her for a moment as she took notice of a saddle on it back as she try to climb up on the Unicorn back.
"I'm going to tame you." Hinata said as she climb up on the Unicorn back as the Unicorn started bucking wildly as Hinata held on for a long while until the Unicorn calm down.
"I need to name you. I think I call you Hana." Hinata said. "Now Hana, let's go!" Hinata shouted and both her and the Unicorn went off.
Now in reality the Flower Field was a swamp filled with corpses of animals and the unicorn was in reality a undead horse with a metal spike rammed through it head as Hinata was ridding the undead horse. Except in her mind it was a Unicorn do to the fact she was experience a very dangerous fever, and had eaten hallucinogenic mushrooms.
Xxx
Meanwhile up a very old pathway, two people were walking and talking together, both of them were heading toward Konohagakure. The man of the group was wearing an all-black outfit consisting of a black trench coat and fedora hat and he has a Twin Bladed Scythe on his back, and has black hair and red eye. The woman next to him is wearing a blue Uchiha battle armor and has black hair and black eye, and is carrying a Gunbai Uchiwa like the one used by Madara on her back. She also had D-cup size breast.
"So Jack how did you know about this route." the women asked.
"Well I remember there were more route except someone started to close down during the war times, and I figured why the hell not take this route." Jack answered as he then took notice of someone approaching them.
"Wait, I think someone is approaching us Mikoto." Jack said to his female companion, he sees something that would go on his top ten strangest thing's ever: a little Hyuga girl riding on a undead horse which has a metal spike rammed through it skull.
"What the hell is this?" Jack asked in deadpanned shock, causing the Hyuga girl stopped in front of the two. Hyuga in question turn out to be Hinata still riding on the Undead Horse thinking it was a Unicorn.
"Oh hello there do you like my unicorn?" Hinata asked as she coughed a little as some blood came out but in her vision it was not blood but strawberry juice.
"That's a bog unicorn kiddo, it's an undead abomination like myself," Jack said carelessly, "and you're obviously tripping balls."
"What you mean by that? My Unicorn is not undead and I don't do drugs." Hinata replied as she was hugging the bog unicorn by it dirty mane thinking she was hugging the clean pristine neck of the Unicorn.
Jack sighed deeply, he didn't have time for this, so he teleported next to her and used the nerve pinch to knock her out. He then mounted he Undead beast, "Hop on love, we're going home in style." Mikoto did so, and secured Hinata in the process. Seeing no reason to delay their departure, Jack drew his Scythe and said, "If I'm gonna look like one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, then I might as well act the part."
"And which one are you," Mikoto asked with a giggle.
Jack answered by quoting scripture, "And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed him."
Xxxxxxx
In another part of the woods Kakashi and Kurenai were looking intently at woods. It had been uneasy to be separated from their team in these conditions but they had seen worse. Well at least Kakashi had.
"Why would someone use insects to kill people like this?" Kurenai asked.
"You mean besides the Aburames?" Kakashi quiped.
"You know what I mean," Kurenai growled, "injecting them with a virus and then leaving them to suffer, it's sickening."
Kakashi sighed, "It seems they are getting crueler with their methods. Biological warfare was thought to have died out but someone is trying to revive it.
Kakashi stopped. "If something like this isn't stopped, Konoha could be crippled catastrophically."
Kurenai widened her eyes and said nothing as they continued to walk, their thoughts being the only conversation either of them had.

"You know Sakura I had a very difficult life, being raised as a Special Assassin," Zee said as both she and Sakura were checking around the area.
"I mean I never had a normal childhood at all," Zee commented as Sakura just nodded her head.
"You didn't either since your voice box was destroyed," Zee said as they kept on looking trying to find any clues.
Sakura looked at Zee with a frown, causing Zee give her an apologetic look, "Sorry I am sure you had a lovely voice."
Sakura turned away and sniffled, causing Zee to sigh and say to herself, "I'm not good with kids."
Xxxxx
Meanwhile with Ino and Chousa they were looking around for clues, and they did found a footprint, so they were making a cast out of it.
"Chousa, what you think could make this kind of footprint?" Ino asked a bit shocked since the footprint since it seems bird like.
"That I don't know, but all I know is this is the best clue ever since this could be another summon and the footprints are fresh too," he replied.
Xxxxx
Yuuske and Jethro were walking through the woods with their firearms out but not in a position to fire.
"You know I had my doubts about these kids boss, but they are great to work with," commented Yuuske, "Sure they are still probies, but I think we can work well with them."
Jethro's face lightened slightly then turned serious when they spotted different colored fluids on the tree branches.
"Looks like we have something more going on here than humans and insects, keep an eye out Yuuske."
Yuusske nodded and pulled back the hammer as they scanned the woods around them.
They heard rustling and they pointed their guns at the bushes ready to attack whatever was in the bushes.
The bushes rustled and out came two wolves snarling. Jethro fired one into the skull of the lead one while Yuuske fired another which hit the shoulder. It targeted Yuuske who kept firing, but was missing with all of the erratic movement it pulled. Right before it could get to Yuuske, it got hit in the spinal column and paralyzed.
Yuuske looked at Jethro, "What the heck are these things boss?"
Jethro turned to Yuuske, "No idea, we need to find our team now."
The two ran, now in search of the others. As soon as the two of them slowed down, they reloaded their guns. The two examined their surroundings, on the lookout for more of these wolf creatures. Jethro realized they were much bigger than a regular wolves, meaning that whatever these are, they are not a wolves. Soon there view darkened and they looked to see a huge vulture flying overhead.
"It's just a vulture." Yuuske said as Jethro aim up high, who realized Konohagakure doesn't have vulture's around these parts.
"Yuuske there are no vultures in Konoha, meaning someone has brought these birds into Konoha."
Before Yuuske could respond the vultures started charging at them forcing them to fire at the birds. The big bird's feathers negated some of the bullet but a couple found the heads of the birds. They climbed again allowing the two to try to find cover. Yuuske tripped and this allowed two if the vulture to swoop in and start peck at him.
"Get off me you stupid birds." He shouted, struggling to reach his knife in the chaos. Yuuske managed to grab his knife and stabbed one of the vultures in the head.
The other vulture tried to fly away but was shot down by Jethro, "Yuuske, you alright?"
Yuuske shook his head, "Well now I know what a rabbit feels like, thanks boss."
The two then proceeded to follow the surviving vultures to hopefully the master of these birds.
Xxxxxxx
Naruto was wandering around when he sensed he was being followed by someone, but he didn't know who it was. He has been stalking the person too, but they seem to be one step ahead of him in this little game of cat and mouse.
Naruto was almost upon the person, and he could feel that this person was twisted as hell and evil. He was tracking this person down by sensing his heart, which he will rip from his chest. Soon Naruto came across a clearing as a tall figure wearing a cloak of animal skin was standing before him.
Naruto quickly pulled out his knife as the robbed figure charged at him. He parried the slash but was kicked back into the tree. He shook off his daze only for the figure to slash at him. He barely dodged the slash which cut the tree behind him. Naruto lunged at his opponent and nicked the fur. Then the furred individual shape shifted into a wolf which surprised Naruto long enough for him to be tackled to the ground.
Naruto then had to fight off a snarling beast as he reached for the knife that was knocked away from him. The wolf reared back to bit him and Naruto grabbed the knife and embedded it into the skull of his opponent. The wolf only rolled over in pain as Naruto jumped on him and he started stabbing the wolf repeatedly. By the time he stopped the wolf was a bloody mess and so was Naruto. He stood up and walked away unaware of the presence taking the druid away.
Suddenly a vulture appeared out of nowhere as it dive bomb Naruto as the bird actually manage to pick him up. The bird took flight as it went up in the sky and then dropped Naruto to the ground. Naruto quickly turn around and threw his sword which impale the vulture as it fell to the ground, which is when he took notice of a Tiger in the area. The blond knew this must be another shape shifter, so he elbow dropped the tiger breaking it neck on impact.
Naruto scanned the area for more enemies. Suddenly he felt the air chill and the light suddenly vanish. A bell was heard in the distance but he showed no outward fear.
"Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto looked for the voice. "You have stayed alive past your designated time. Now feel my wrath.
Suddenly lightning struck the ground near him. Through the smoke Naruto could see a pair of red glowing eyes that belonged to a figure dressed in dark cloak and a dark wide brimmed hat.
The figure laughed. "Perhaps I should save you for last... Maybe your so called friends will be first to fall. Then you will know pain and then you will REST. IN. PEACE.
The figure laughed and disappeared in a lightning strike, forcing Naruto to cover his eyes after the flash. When he opened his eyes again, he saw a flaming effigy of three stakes with a T crossed over the other two.
Naruto then widened his eyes. "Hinata, Jethro, my team; they need me now!" Naruto growled out and started to find his way to Hinata.
Xxxxxx
Jethro and Yuuske were walking through the woods keeping themselves alert for any enemies. Jethro stopped and Yuuske did so too. They heard some sort of fighting so Jethro pulled out a scroll. Opening it, it revealed a much larger gun than the agents were using. It had a long barrel with some sort of scope on it and a lever that pulled back near where the bullets went in. It colored in forest camouflage and it also had a stand near the opening of the barrel.
This was Testu no Washi, The Iron Eagle. Named for that fact that it could hit from far away and the opponent would be dead before he realized it, this is what earned Jethro the name, Washi no Gan, or Eagle Eye, when he was a Jounin in the ninja force. During the third war he racked up over a hundred confirmed kills and played a vital role in a couple of major battles the Leaf fought in. He still has it as a memento and uses it when missions turned south. When asked why he used such a weapon, he replied 'It feels right in my hands, almost like I am honoring someone.'
Jethro set himself up and peered into the scope. "I see three targets, looks like they are fighting...damn it! It's Zee and Sakura, Yuuske!"
Yuuske was already moving, "On my way boss."
Jethro said nothing and looked to find his targets partially blocked. "Come on, All I need is one good shot."
He saw the druids turn around, meaning Yuuske got their attention and focused on the one closest to him. When another walked behind him, Jethro let out a breath and pulled the trigger. A second later both of them had a whole right where their heads would be. The third looked panicked as Jethro pulled the bolt back and reset himself. Just as the druid tried to take care of his buddies another bullet pierced the air and ripped through the skull.
Once the battle silenced Yuuske, Zee and Sakura stepped out. After a brief discussion they turned to where Jethro was entrenched and they gave him a thumb's up.
Jethro pulled away from the scope and smiled.
Xxxxxxx
Naruto was running through the forest as he was tracking down Hinata. He can sense the Hyuga girl her blinding, calming light is like a beacon. He kept on tracking her down until Naruto found himself on an old road, most likely a hidden route that leads to Konohagakure. Naruto then kept on following the road as he can actually feel Hinata light getting brighter in that direction, meaning she was close to a source of darkness and undead.
"Hinata-chan, I'm coming for you." Naruto said as he kept on going forward until he came upon Jack who still had Mikoto holding her arm around him as she was holding a still sleeping Hinata.
"Took you long enough," Jack said as he took notice of the new arrival. He just hopes the kid doesn't assume anything, but that's why he took the Bog Unicorn it make a good distraction since it is a horse with a sword through it head.
"Why do you have Hinata-chan and what you did to her?" Naruto asked as he had his blade out.
"Whoa calm down little mister, I just manage to grab the druid that cause your friend to be sick and cured her as well." Jack said.
"You threatened Hinata-chan!" Naruto said as he remembers Jack voice.
"Oh that, pfft, that was just to get you to come over to this track, I was actually joking the whole time," Jack replied as he can tell Naruto was becoming very hostile.
"I think I over did it with my Undertaker act, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a good performance," Jack said to himself.
"Also if you what to know how I cure your friend, Vampires are immune to the plague," said Jack as Naruto just narrowed his eyes at him.
"No I did not sink my fangs into her; I made a small incision on her wrist and sucked out the plague. That being said, she was pretty insane when I found her, She thought this was a unicorn," said Jack as he gestured towards the Bog Unicorn.
"Why are you approaching Konohagakure," Naruto asked.
"To deliver someone that was forced to leave the village," answered Jack.
"What happen to you Naruto?" Mikoto asked as she recognized the masked figure from his voice and the blonde hair.
"I killed you!?" Naruto said a bit confuse.
"No you must have killed my twisted twin sister; my family banished me for trying to help you," Mikoto said sadly.
"How much you wanna bet she took your name after you left," said Jack in a half joking tone.
"Even Tsunade wouldn't take that bet; she always said she wanted to ruin my name, and I'm guessing she did." said Mikoto, "I wonder how my children are doing."
"Your children are alright except for Sasuke, he acts funny, like he's faking being afraid or something." answered Naruto. The numerous times he appeared before Sasuke, he took notice the Uchiha was faking a lot of things, he just didn't know why.
"What about my daughter," asked Mikoto.
"You have a daughter," Naruto asked in confusion.
"Yes, Sasuke's twin sister, Kyouki, my husband kept her hidden from everyone," answered Mikoto.
"That I don't know," replied the blond.
Jack groaned, "I have a bad feeling about this, and more often than not, I'm right on the money."
"So this is where all of you are at," Jethro voice said as he and the others approached the group.
"Jack, what is it you have a bad feeling about," Mikoto asked the vampire who just looked at her and sighed. Ducky arrived on sigh as he heard Mikoto said she was Sasuke mother, and Sasuke having a twin sister.
Jack sighed deeply and said, "I get the feeling she off'd her twin brother and pretended to be him."
"Kyouki wouldn't do that!" Mikoto all but shouted, she couldn't believe her child would actually do that. Unless her sister stopped visiting her daughter.
"Ma'am your daughter is now wanted for the murder of her twin brother Sasuke," explained Ducky.
"Do you have a blood sample of hers?" Jack asked as he knows this Satsuki is starting to become a serial killer, or maybe she already is.
"We do but it back at our headquarters," Jethro said.
"Take me over there quickly please, this is a matter of life and death," Jack said as it actually is.
"That and also Itachi and Ayame are under protection." Ino said.
"Itachi is under protection? What did Kyouki try to do to him!" Mikoto asked in shock.
"Your daughter is insane and has a lustful attraction towards her elder brother. She tried to kill Itachi's girlfriend Ayame," Jethro said.
Jack blanched, "No matter what the context, incest still gives me the creeps."
"We go back to village but first what in the world is that thing!" Yuusuke asked as he pointed at the creepy undead horse with a sword through it head.
"That is this girl pet Unicorn.. Well Bog Unicorn actually," answered Jack, causing everyone looked at him.
"It would make sense if you saw what we saw earlier." Jack said to everyone as they started heading back to the village and to NCIS headquarters.
A thought passed through the vampire's head, causing a devilish grin suddenly appear, "Mikoto, let Naruto carry the girl, we're going to arrive in style."
Mikoto recognized that grin, and was hesitant to give Hinata to Naruto because of it. It was the grin he had when he was planning to scare the masses half to death. "What are you planning Jack?"
Jack simply mounted the Bog Unicorn and said, "Pale Horse."
Mikoto sighed as she handed the unconscious girl to Naruto, then climbed onto the beast and wrapped her arms around the Vampire's waste and whispered, "Let's ride home in style, love."
Jack then brought his right hand up and grabbed the scythe off his back, twirling it in the air before pointing it off to the side. "AND HELL FOLLOWED HIM," he yelled at the top of his lungs before the beast bolted off towards the village. As the others watched them ride off, they noticed an army skeletons had seemingly appeared out of nowhere and were following the two.
"I wonder if he knows that the ANBU are going attack him since they are on alert for anything out of the ordinary," asked Yuusuke.
"When someone has to make an entrance, they don't care if its hell itself before them, they will do what they set out to do," answered Jethro.
"Well we took care of all of these weird people dress in animal skins." said Ino.
"Those must be Druid and also that should explain the Maggots as well." Ducky said as he heard about Druid people just didn't know there was a group around here.
"Hana is my pretty Unicorn." Hinata muttered in her sleep.
"What in the hell actually happened to her," asked Ino.
"She must have caught something from these Druids," mused Kakashi.
"Luckily that guy said she was cured," answered Naruto.

Back at the leaf village, Izumo and Kotetsu were on guard duty at the main gate when they saw something coming over the horizon. Upon further inspection, Izumo realized that it was someone wielding a twin bladed scythe riding an undead horse leading an army of the dead. "Hey Kotetsu," Izumo asked his partner with a hint of fear in his voice, "You seeing this?"
Kotetsu gulped and said, "Yeah, we should alert the ANBU."
Before they could do so, the horseman galloped past them yelling, "AND HELL FOLLOWED HIM!
They turned and followed the movements of the horseman and saw someone with long, raven colored hair wearing blue battle armor, and had a Gunbai Uchiwa like the one wielded by Madara Uchiha on their back.
When they turned around they saw the skeleton army was literally upon them, and faster than the human eye can see, they were hugging each other, screaming in fear.
Rather than slay them, the undead ran right past them and into the village.
Xxx
It was mass pandemonium in the village as the villagers ran towards the Hokage's tower, screaming in fear. The Horseman simply cackled in maniacal glee; he made it a point to stay just close enough to keep their fear fresh, but far enough that he would be able to avoid trampling anyone who fell behind.
Mikoto was actually enjoying the ride, and would throw an occasional fire jutsu in for added effect.
Xxx
As the undead horde swept over the village, Dracula and his bride, Eva, noticed the presence of the newly arrived vampire, a vampire The Count had a long standing friendship with. "It'll be good to talk with Jack again," he said, "He always was good at keeping a timeline, and he keeps things interesting, too."
Eva smirked as she crawled up to him wearing a black latex corset with latex stockings and gloves, "He sounds like a real charmer love."
Dracula grinned as deep, rumbling laughter reverberated through the room, "He made a legend for himself by killing prostitutes; how he gets women to bed him is beyond me."
Eva crawled into her lord's lap and caressed his cheek, "enough talk, I want you to make me yours."
"If that is what you want," he growled as he turned the tables, "I'll be more than happy to oblige."
Xxx
The villagers were now crowded around the Hokage Tower, which is completely surrounded by the undead. Hiruzan walked out to address the threat, and was a bit nervous.
At this point Jack was grinning beneath his hat, and decided to reveal the truth. He and Mikoto launched themselves into the air before landing back to back underneath a nearby oak tree that provided sufficient shade. Jack's features were hidden by his hat and Mikoto's by her long hair.
The vampire reached for his hat and pulled it off saying, "Hellloooo, Konoha! My name is Jack Hellscythe, and this lovely lady," gesturing to his companion, "is the Real Mikoto Uchiha."
When those words left Jack's lips, Mikoto threw back her head to reveal her face, confirming his words and yelled, "AND YOU'VE BEEN PUNKED!"
"What the fuck is actually going on in here!" Hiruzen shouted in frustration as NCIS and Team 7 approached the Hokage Tower, they all heard that statement.
"Where is my Hana," Hinata muttered in her sleep as she slept in Naruto strong arms.
"Yup he caused a ruckus," sighed Jethro, he was kind of disappointed how the village reacted and he hoped to get the Hokage to address that issue in defense plans.
"Yup this is the reason why everyone needs a zombie plan," Yuusuke commented as Zee just looked at him.
"What a Zombie plan," Zee asked as Chousa just sighed.
"It's very difficult to explain but I don't think Zombie plan cover skeleton army," Chousa replied.
"That's why I'll be the one to invent the skeleton plan," Yuusuke said triumphantly as everyone arrived at the Hokage Tower the entire village was there as well.
"Seems like a tough crowd," Jack said to himself as he took notice everyone in the village was very quiet or glaring at him, several had a look of pure confusion on their faces.
"Wait, Mikoto Uchiha is dead," a villager said sounding very confused as his brain was hurting and his heart was beating very fast. He can't handle too much excitement or else he might experience a heart attack.
"Correction, my evil twin is dead," answered Mikoto, "Jack was kind enough to retrieve her eyes for me." Mikoto then did a fist pump and said, "Take that Ragyo you were always a bitch and I bet you even killed your best friend as well." She then became more withdrawn as the memory of Kushina's body being taken away flashed before her eyes and she whispered, "I witnessed my friends die."
Kushina was being wheeled over by a hospital staff member; she was still comatose and sleeping. "Mikoto is that you." Kushina voice was heard in everyone head.
"Been a while since I've seen something like this," Jack said as he looked at Kushina comatose body.
"Kushina, what the hell happen to you," Mikoto said in shock.
"A lot of things and I now have psychic powers," Kushina replied.
"That still doesn't explain much," remarked Mikoto.
"It very confusing, but one can say I'm the Kyuubi in a sense now," Kushina replied.
"That's new, and I've seen a whole lot of weird shit in my life," Jack said.
"I still haven't gotten an answer: what in the hell is fucking going on here!" Hiruzen shouted.
"This is the first time I actually heard the Third Hokage swear at all," Kushina replied as Jack just sigh as he can tell the Third Hokage was actually becoming angry.
"Long story short, I like making an entrance," the ancient Vampire said calmly.
"So why are you in this village in the first place?" Hiruzen asked as Jack know the Hokage wants more answers.
"Mikoto decided it was time to return home," he answered nonchalantly.
He shrugged and added, "That, and I planned on visiting Frank and Francis."
"Mikoto also explain why you were outside of Konohagakure and who was in your place then." Hiruzen asked as Mikoto could tell the Third Hokage wasn't happy at all.
"Also who is Frank and Francis?" Hiruzen asked.
"Couple of old friends of mine who live in the deepest part of the tunnels underneath the village," answered Jack, "Frank's got the most expansive collection of stuff in the universe, and Francis has got to be the best chef alive, her cooking smells divine... I honestly hate being a Vampire sometimes."
"You're not going to feed off any of the villages," Hiruzen asked as he glared at Jack.
"Some blood bag's would work just fine," answered Jack as he waved off the question, wishing he didn't say he was vampire, a lot of the times people never pay attention to the fact.
"NCIS and Team 7 did you found out who was causing the murders," asked Hiruzen.
"Yes it was cause by a clan of Druids it seems like they might have been planning to unleash a modified plague into Konohagakure." Kakashi said.
"We still don't know what type of Druid's they were, but they shape shifted into various animals. The most dangerous thing is that these ones might be able to cause a plague." Jethro said.
"That would be Necromancy," answered Jack, "Something the Hellscythe Family has an innate talent for, hence the Army of Skeletons."
"Luckily, it was just Necromancy and not something from the old world, during the events that led up to the collapse, they were making a lot of deadly weapons," Jack said off handedly.
Two robed figures that had entered the village during the confusion, but didn't sign themselves in walked up and asked, "Excuse me are you the Hokage of this village?"
Hiruzen turned around and looked at them, and Naruto took notice of the one being who was unnaturally tall, easily towering over everyone else.
"Who are you people?" Hiruzen asked as he was very intimidated by their size. He can only make out one feature that there cloak was hiding: their glowing red eyes.
"The Magus of Cradle Ark wants to extend a greeting, since we just arrived to this continent," the robed figure replied.
Jack was confused, he never heard of a Magus or Cradle Ark at all, and it was his business to know this kinda stuff.
"Who is this Magus," asked Hiruzen.
"She is supervisor of Cradle Ark," the robed figure said in computerized tone of voice.
"Why is she sending a greeting to our village, does she what to make alliance," Hiruzen inquired.
"No alliance since she's sending similar greeting to other villages as well. The Cradle Ark has been out of touch with civilization since the Great Collapse of the Old World," the robed figure explained.
"I bet you guys want something else though," Jack spoke up.
"Yes we do. We require information," the robed figure simply said.
Hiruzen stepped forward, "If you truly desire information then please come with me to my office, I believe we have much to discuss."
"That is satisfactory," said the figure as they headed towards the office. On the way, the Messenger stopped and looked at the brick building near the tower.
"It is reassuring that the memory of our great country is alive." The robed figure said.
"What do you mean?" Naruto asked.
"The flag on the building there," the Messenger pointed at the NCIS building, "It contains the symbol of one of our nation's branches of military: The Marines. They were our frontline troops: first in, last out."
The group silently walked to the Hokage's office from there.
"Now then, before I tell you what you want to know, we have been curious, what exactly destroyed your civilization?"
The shorter robed figure sighed and removed his hood. If it wasn't for the skin tone, it would be like looking at Zee's family.
"My name is Abraham, and to understand that, you must understand how we got here and why the Magus was created."
Abraham walked towards the window to gather his thoughts. "It was 2025 after the death of the Prophet Jesus' death. My ancestors fought for a country called Isreal, the land of the Jews. We were besieged on multiple sides from countries that followed a religion that in hindsight only had a different interpretation of our god. They would have destroyed us if not for our ally." Here Abraham pulled out two patches. One was blue and white with a six sided star, the other was familiar to some in the room. It had fifty stars on a blue background and thirteen stripes, seven red and six white in alternating stripes.
"The blue flag was Isreal's flag, and the other was"
"The United States of America." Jethro interrupted.
Abraham smiled. "Glad to see some people are informed, anyway the USA was what kept people from attacking us. But alas, nothing lasts forever: One of the U.S's enemies, a country called Russia, launched nuclear weapons at Europe and the U.S. Soon the entire world was irradiated and a population of seven billion was nearly rendered extinct.
The ninja in the room gasped. How could that many people die and how were they alive.
"We were fortunate to plan ahead. The Cradle Ark project was done to make sure the U.S survived. Seventy thousand people were put into suspended animation and for the last four thousand years we slept. We only recently awoke when our ship surfaced believing that the radiation had been knocked down to livable conditions. Imagine our shock when we found a thriving civilization where our proud country once stood."
Hinata walked up to Abraham and asked, "Is it possible you had more than one of these, because my mother, Hitomi was rescued from this suspended animation."
Abraham widened her eyes and then shook his head, "Unbelievable the Vaults survived all these years as well." At the confused looks he explained, "The Cradle vaults were built to turn volunteers into super soldiers to fight the War. When it became apparent that both sides were going to be destroyed they constructed vaults to house the troops. When the country was destroyed the locations were supposedly lost. I am grateful at least one survived these 4000 years."
Abraham turned to Hiruzen. "With your permission Lord Hokage, we would like conduct blood research onto how you all are still able to live despite the radiation. It will not hurt anyone, only provide some closure since we could not save everyone to our immense shame.
Hiruzen chuckled. "I will do anything in our power to help, in the meantime please stay as my guest. I am sure you would love to find out about our world to take to your people. We will of course discuss the possibility of alliance.
Abraham nodded, "Thank you sir."

Afterwords, at the Hokage Tower, Hiruzen manage to call in a council meeting to discuss this new event in the village that was happening. The robbed figure and Abraham were standing outside of the council room waiting to be called in.
"Okay everyone calm down, at least Danzo is not alive anymore to cause us any headaches in this new event that happen to all of us," said Hiruzen.
"How you can be sure we can trust them?" Hana Inuzuka said as she was now part of the Council now since she replaced her mother.
"Hana, you forgot who you talking to," Hiruzen chuckled.
"I apologize, Lord Hokage, but I just worried about these people," Hana said.
"That is understandable, now call the group in." Hiruzen said as the Cradle Ark group entered into the room.
The group was called in and the council got a good first look at Abraham. He looked no older than Hiashi, but he had that world weary look to him. He had black hair which was not normally found in Konoha and had light skin like he hadn't been in the sun for a long time.
"Honored Council members please give a warm welcome to Mr. Abraham Assaif."
Abraham stepped forward. "Shalom honored government of this village, I am Abraham Assaif, the chosen ambassador to your village from my home."
"Abraham has agreed to answer our questions. In return he would like to gather information about our villages. Before you panic, he comes from the old world. All of his people are from there he would like to know how much this world has changed from the time he lived in."
And with that Abraham told the same story he told Hiruzen which shocked the council members.
After that, questions began flowing from his intentions to what kind of world he grew up in. When it got to the part about blood samples they were hesitant but after he explained how people should not have live with the radiation, they were suddenly curious to how they survived and more importantly how ninjutsu formed.
"Any more questions?" Hiruzen asked.
Hiashi stood up. "Yes. May I ask why you choose to make an appearance now?"
Abraham sighed. "Yes. Something in the programming of one of our AI's caused it to become corrupted and is infected with a virus that can take over sentient beings." He said shocking the council, "I wish to not only learn about our new world but to save it. Please let us save the world we thought was lost."
"And this virus," asked Shikaku.
"We did manage to contain it, but the Magus, who is the supervisor and is actually a living person, is still in isolation." Abraham said.
"What do you want us to do," Hana asked.
Abaraham looked at the Inuzuka clan head. "We have determined that for whatever reason those with high levels of this chakra you speak of have been able to fend it off enough to make her retreat. We hope to have some of your strongest ninja help out."
"Wait are you saying this Magus of yours is infected with this virus." Shikaku asked as when they mention Magus it seems when they said protected and contain both Magus was mention or implied.
"Yes and it was a virus of our enemies design. We reason that it was infected before it was locked down. When we woke up and activated the virus slowly took over her mind."
"Anything else we need to know about." Hiruzen asked. Abraham didn't know how long Magus could actually be contained. She will eventually unlock her pod and take control of everything plus there was it goal.
"Well then Abraham let us get you comfortable in the village you must be tired from your journey." Hiruzen said as he asked team 8 to escort him to his mansion.
Soon Team 7 escorted Abraham to the Hokage mansion as Jack managed to get a blood sample of Kyouki and he smelled the blood. Jack then zone out as he attempted to track down Kyouki, but all he can feel is she out of the country.
"This Magus you said was a person." Hinata asked as she was petting her undead horse name Hana as she somehow still view the thing as Unicorn.
"Yes we actually don't know much about Magus except she really doesn't talk much and if she did reality start wrapping. So we created the A.I for her to talk which might explain how Magus got infected." Abraham said as Jack stopped in his tracks when he heard the magus doesn't really talk much and reality wrapping, but he shake his head.
'Nah she couldn't be this Magus. My baby sister must still be wandering around." Jack said to himself.
The team and Abraham arrives at the mansion. In Abraham opinion it reminded him of the Japanese emperors mansion.
"Your leader must very wealthy to afford this. But he seems to be humble man."
"He might be old Abraham-San, but he is no pushover." Naruto said walking up to the mansion.
They prepared lunch which they found Abraham's dietary choice surprising, but regardless they were able to work around the pork restriction.
After seeing him settled Naruto and Hinata went on their way home. Jack was standing outside as Mikoto went up to him.
"Jack is there any news about my daughter?" Mikoto asked.
"No she out of the country already. Her scent is now very faint." Jack said as Mikoto could tell there was something bugging the vampire.
"Is something troubling you Jack?" Mikoto asked causing Jack to sigh, he knows he couldn't hide what troubling him.
"I just upset right now. I mean really upset right now. What that Abraham guy said about their Magus." Jack said as he was barely controlling his rage.
"You sound enraged." Mikoto said.
"And I have damn God reason to be Mikoto," he snapped. He then felt guilty for snapping at her and sighed deeply before saying, "The way he described this Magus person, reminds me of my baby Sister, Eucliwood Hellscythe."
"What do you mean by that, and how did you come to that conclusion?" Mikoto asked.
Jack looked at her and said, "Eucliwood's word's carry so much weight that they can warp reality itself, and combined with her status as a Necromancer, she could kill you by telling you to die... not that she would, mind you, she'd be subjecting herself to the same pain if she did."
"Still how could you know she is the Magus?" Mikoto asked because now she is afraid since if this Magus person was infected with this virus who know what she going to do.
"I've got a hunch, and as you know, my hunches are almost never wrong," he replied, "but I honestly hope I am."
"I hope so as well." Mikoto said as she hugged Jack.

Naruto was in a special room in his part of the Hyuga Compound as he converted it into a workshop. He use this workshop to upkeep his weapons as he believe a dull blade doesn't kill fast enough. He then thought of what's been happening.
"These next few days are going to be interesting." Naruto said as he dipped his sword in a bath of hot water as blood came off of it.

Meanwhile out in sea on a massive man-made island that look like completely artificial and built like a Ark plus a facility as well. The Cradle Ark was still surface as it had searchlight on. As it patrolling around the massive ark was numerous being known as Golem.
These Golems were clad in green armor and was shape more humanoid. But there head design was different as they had a T-shape visor. On there right arm was either a built in grenade launcher, energy blade, gatling gun. These were patrol model Golems as they just kept patrolling around Cradle Ark. Making sure no intruder doesn't get out or the Magus break free from her containment. The other Golem models were inside Cradle Ark not active yet as they were more war built and more heavily armored as well. Deep inside Cradle Ark more of the Golems were patrolling around as there was a massive hanger area filled with deactivate Golems waiting to be reactivated. Even deeper in the Cradle Ark was a room filled with thousand upon thousand of cyro pods filled with people as they were not awaken yet. Soon in a heavily guard room was a lone pod guarded by twenty of the patrol model Golems.
Soon the pod began to crack as suddenly all of the patrol model Golem's in the area looked at the pod. As it quietly open up as they aimed there weapons at the pod. Soon a figure emerged out of the pod. Standing before the Patrol Golems was a young girl with long silver hair and blue eyes, wearing a purple dress, and clad plate armor consisting of greaves, a breast plate, and a head piece. This is the Necromancer Eucliwood Hellscythe, Jack's baby sister.
"Go back into your pod." one of the Patrol Golem said as he pointed his grenade launcher arm at the girl. Soon words appeared on the ground that was in kanji.
"You are now my servant!." The words simply said as all of the Patrol Golems stopped aiming their weapons at her as they kneel before her.
"Yes Hellscythe-dono." the Patrol Golem said.

In a random Tea House, in an unnamed village in the Land of Tea, Kyouki was waiting for her cup of Tea. "I can't use my actual name anymore," she mumbled under her breath, "so from now on, I am Satsuki."
Kage Bijuu Author Note: Here it is the new chapter of Bloody Love and this one will lead to a new arc. Plus Eucliwood Hellscythe is from the anime series Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? Yes Naruto fought against Druids who can cause Disease but just like Jack said they all luckily it wasn't a weapon from the Old World. But Magus aka Eucliwood Hellscythe is now out in Cradle Ark.
Thank you very much UnitedOpsery1991 and J. Hellscythe for helping out massively in this chapter. Also thank you J. Hellscythe for helping beta reading the chapter for me.
