The Advent91: Now I want to repeat and what I am repeating will be in big bold letter so I ask you to not think that I am yelling in anger or anything like that. RESIDENT EVIL CHRACTERS THAT NARUTO ECOUNTERS WITHIN THE CITY WILL ONLY BE SHORT ENCOUNTERS. For instance the Nemesis although it was not a short encounter he was only in this story ONCE and in ONE chapter (I still see it as a short encounter since Nemesis was only in that chapter). Naruto will NOT encounter Nemesis again throughout the story, that part done, over with, never going to appear again.

I also received a PM from someone asking who down the list of RE characters that was within Raccoon City Naruto will run into next. Now it seemed like he or she assumed that Naruto is going to encounter every character that was within Raccoon City. NOT TRUE. I never said he would. I said that any characters he comes across would be short encounters. So really he MAY never encounter Oliver or Jill, but I did say he would encounter Nicholai because it's planned.

Also once again I am getting PM's of when he will join Leon and Claire to escape the city. Now I am going to use big bold letters again to address this issue AGAIN (I know it's annoying but some just can't accept the previous answer I gave to this question). NARUTO WILL NOT ESCAPE THE CITY WITH LEON AND CLAIRE AND THAT IS FINAL JUST HOW IT'S FINAL THAT THIS STORY HAS NO PAIRING IN IT. This story (and goal) is supposed to be sort of like Naruto's own struggle through the city. Now I ask you to stop asking me to do things that are not planned because you want the story to go to your expectations. Now please don't think I am being a jerk (sorry if I sound like one) but I am the type of author that when he writes his story does not like how people try to make me put what they want in the story (SUGGESTIONS ARE GOOD AS I WILL DRAW INSPIRATION FROM THEM AND I WILL LET YOU KNOW IF I DID CREDITING TO WHOEVER MADE THE SUGGESTION. However the story goes the way I want it and this doesn't mean I will draw inspiration from everyone's suggestion.).

Anyway that is all I have to say and I apologize for wasting your time. Please enjoy the chapter.

Somewhere on Folmom Street of Raccoon City, the party of three being Naruto, Kushina and Kurama were looking for a place to lay low so they can take a break as Naruto was feeling woozy. Right now the three were within a dark alley looking upon Folmom Street seeing no zombies in sight and there was a grocery store across the street that they can use to stay low within. When they enter they would have to go through the store taking out zombies if they were present within. If there were only some way to know what was inside without going in yet. Like if they had someone scout the inside for them first and then tell them. Naruto then remembered how Kurama was able to turn himself invisible.

"Kurama?" Naruto addressed to grabbing Kurama's attention turning his head to him. "Do you think you can scout out the inside of the building for us?"

"I wouldn't mind but there is a problem with a means of communication with one another. When Umbrella made me this way they gave me the capability to communicate through radio signals. If you had a type of radio it would make things easier to relay information to you besides coming back and forth all the time."

Naruto dropped to sitting on his butt. "Well that's just great."

"Would a phone work instead?" Kushina asked Kurama still trying to get use to Kurama's new appearance and his capability of speech.

"Perhaps, but a phone requires power to be charged and all power within the city is gone." Kurama said.

"So where could we find a radio? Is there a Radio Shack close by around here somewhere?" Naruto asked.

"Unfortunately, no, there isn't." Kurama replied.

"So where are we going to get a radio?" Naruto asked.

"Perhaps from the corpse of a U.B.C.S. or U.S.S. operative, or even a cop." Kurama said.

"Where do we find one?" Kushina asked.

"This street is all clear; I suggest we start searching this area as quickly as possible before any zombies show up."

The three do as Kurama suggested searching Folmon Street looking for the corpse of a U.B.C.S, U.S.S. or Cop. On this street there was quite the amount of zombies having been killed with their bodies lying on the ground with destruction everywhere around them along with small fires present. Kurama walked amongst the area all by himself searching because it was obvious that he can take care of himself. Kushina and Naruto were together searching but one would take notice of the distance the mother kept from her very own son. How could one blame her for how her son was acting in that power seduced state where he couldn't tell between friend or foe and not even care? Naruto of course noticed the distance how own mother kept from him and was beginning to wonder what happened on the rooftop of the hospital.

He couldn't remember much of what happened after hiding away from Wolfpack atop the roof of the hospital. However he did remember small pieces like glimpses and one of them he thought he saw him chopping one of the members of Wolfpack's heads off. Did he do that recently or was he just having dark thoughts? Naruto and Kushina came to finding a cop car that was piled over by a truck crushing the roof in and so Naruto tried pushing the truck up upon the vehicle off but he felt drained for some reason. Kushina came over asking her son to take a rest who sat on the ground while she tried pushing the vehicle off. While she did manage to make the vehicle creak she was not able to make it move.

Kurama taking notice of their find galloped over stretches out its tail wrapping around the rear bumper of the vehicle and began to pull. Kurama is successful pulling the vehicle off the cop car with its impact on the street ground echoing aloud.

"Naruto?" Kurama addressed to noticing his condition. "Are you injured?"

"No…But I feel weak…What happened?"

"It is hard to explain. Kushina, search the vehicle."

"Right."

Kushina opens the side door seeing the roof caved in just over the seats but looking below the seats where one would rest their feet. Sadly she did not find a radio but what she did find was a Shotgun that was usually placed in the gun racks of most cop cars.

"No radio but I found a weapon." Kushina said pulling out the Shotgun cocking and locking the gun now ready to fire. She then opened the glove compartment of the cop car revealing ammo that she takes.

Kurama walked to the back of the cop car brining his front paws upon its back bumper and clamping his metal teeth upon the trunk ripping it up and open revealing a pistol along with ammo.

"Kushina, you can use this." Kurama said.

Kushina walked to the back seeing the gun and ammo for it handing Naruto's MK.23 to Kurama who took it within its mouth. Kushina grabs the pistol and ammo now having it within her hands and her acquired Shotgun ringed around her back. Naruto was still sitting on the ground with one knee up and his head down with closed eyes still recovering and trying to figure out what happened before everything went black on that roof of the hospital. He opens his eyes hearing the approaching footsteps of Kurama having his MK.23 within its mouth.

"Your weapon." Kurama said without moving his mouth as he offered Naruto's gun back.

"Thanks." Naruto said taking the gun back putting it away in its holster. "Kurama, tell me what happened. Why is mom so distant from me?"

"I will explain later, Naruto. Right now we need to find a radio or two to establish a line of communications between the three of us."

"Ok then." Naruto said standing himself back up to his feet. "Where should we look next, Kurama?"

"The only thing we can do is continue to search the area."

"It would be better that we split up." Naruto said. "Cover a lot of ground. You stay next to mom's side."

"Are you sure?" Kurama asked. "You aren't in the greatest condition right now. It would most wise that we all stick together."

"Don't worry, Kurama, I'll manage." Naruto said patting the top of Kurama's head. "You stay with mom and protect her. I'll regroup with you guys in five minutes. I'm going to search down this alley up ahead." He said looking down a dark alley. "Hopefully I'll find a radio, if not at least hope it will be something useful."

"As you wish." Kurama said turning around walking toward Kushina. "Be careful."

"Aren't I always?"

"Sometimes you can be reckless." Kurama said as he walked to Kushina and Naruto venturing into the dark alley.

It was true that Naruto was reckless at times. One of them was letting himself going it a drunken power stupor on the roof of the hospital wanting to rip anything to pieces. That is if you can call that reckless. As Naruto was going down the dark alley he pulled out his MK.23 taking aim down the dark alley he preceded down aiming the light from his gun. He couldn't help that as he explored down the dark alley what happened upon the rooftop of the hospital. Now even though he wanted to think on it and try to remember he had to put it aside and concentrate on keeping his mind focused on his surroundings.

For if he was too busy wondering on memories he couldn't recall he may never know as a zombie might come out of nowhere from this surrounding darkness. It was odd as he was venturing down the alley as it seemed to be darker in here than it already was on the streets. He put his back against the alley wall to his left and moved slowly along it to the corner up ahead as the alley turned to a left. When he came to the corner he noticed a piece of glass on the ground next to him. He kneeled down while keeping his back against the wall switching his gun to his right and picking up the glass with his left hand peeking it around the corner. He was trying to use the glass as a mirror but with a piece of glass like from a window was hard as it was possible but you would have to focus your eyes harder.

Another problem was the lack of light and since there was no moon light right now thanks to the buildings that were blocking it made it a lot harder. So his attempt to using it as a mirror was a failure and so he put it aside and would have to risk a peek around. He switched his gun back to his left hand drawing his knife with his right holding it above his gun, the knife pointed down, peeking around slowly while aiming his gun. Looking around into the darkness of the alley he didn't see anything. He proceeds down this alley moving slowly and as he did suddenly falling from the building to his right crashing into the ground looked to be an air conditioning unit. He quickly aimed his gun up shining its light not managing to catch the figure in his light that quickly crawled up the wall out of a window to the roof of the building.

Even though he didn't get to shine his light upon the creature he did see a shape of the creature and it looked as if it had six limbs but still a human shape. He had seen scary things tonight and mourning but what he saw in the shadows above was completely different and new. In fact as he shined his light upon the wall of the building going up he saw left behind what looked to be multiple handprints of blood as well as the toes of feet. It trailed up the direction the creature went from the window where the air conditioning unit was placed in and there were drops of blood left behind by the wall having leaked from the creature that climbed up. He asked himself one question as he flashed his light above.

"What the fuck was that?" He asked with wide eyes.

His attention was brought away aiming his gun back down the dark alley as he heard what sounded like something rolling across the ground. What was rolling revealing itself around the corner to the right up ahead was a can. The can came turning his direction rolling toward him and his gun aimed upon it flashing his guns light until it comes to a stop before him. All that was met next was dead silence as he aimed his guns light forward once again. Now he knows that it couldn't have been wind that blew the can from around a corner his direction because for one there was no wind right now and two it must be some supernatural wind that made the can turn around such a corner. It meant that someone was back here and the cause was a person or zombie and not wind.

"Who's back there?"

Now of course he didn't receive a response but then he thought he heard something. He focuses his hearing listening closely to what sounded like static? He proceeds down the alley taking one step forward after the other aiming down the sights of his father's Samurai Edge. As he moved down the alley he aimed his gun up toward the windows surrounding him searching for possible enemies, none were in sight. He did however kept his eyes and ears out for whatever that creature was he saw covered in darkness. Something told him that he was going to encounter whatever that thing was soon and to be honest he didn't want that soon coming, it made him nervous.

"Is someone there?"

He rounds the corner now looking down another dark alley but there was a dead end up ahead. Aiming the light under his gun toward the dead end through the darkness he saw a corpse lying against the dead end wall. Proceeding closer while still looking down the sights of his weapon he identified the corpse being that of an Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service operative. He was dead of course with a light machine gun aside stained with his blood along with bullet shell casings and gave off that static sound. Naruto aimed his guns light upon the dead U.B.C.S. operative's vest and said.

"Jackpot!"

Upon the U.B.C.S. operative's vest was a radio with a cord leading to the U.B.C.S. operative's earpiece. Naruto jogged over to the corpse taking a knee and removes the radio slowly from the corpse as well as the earpiece keeping his guard up knowing that the corpse can come to life as a zombie at any moment. He turned off the radio rolling up the cord leading up to the earpiece and putting them both away in a pouch along his belt. However as he was doing this stepping out of a dark corner from behind him was a short white haired U.B.C.S. operative taking aim with his rifle at the turned back of Naruto. Trusting his senses saying aloud to him ALERT BEHIND YOU he quickly props his hands before him on the ground and kicks his right leg around turning his form kicking the rifle out of the U.B.C.S. operative's hand into the wall disarming the man. Now upon one knee before the male U.B.C.S. operative he takes aim with his Samurai Edge quickly aiming it up but the U.B.C.S. operative was just as fast aiming his side arm pistol down into Naruto's face.

"U.B.C.S." Naruto said noticing the insignia upon the man. "You're of Umbrella!"

"And you are?" The male U.B.C.S. operative asked. His voice sounded like he was Russian.

"What, you think I'm stupid? Hoping that I bring down my guard you can get a shot off me."

"I have no idea what you are talking about." The man said as Naruto slowly rose to his feet. "Very unexpected seeing a child running around the city, now who are you?"

"Who are you?" Naruto asked.

The Russian lowered his weapon first before Naruto making him raise an eyebrow in question. "Nicholai Zinoviev, Delta Platoon B-Squad of the U.B.C.S." The revealed Nicholai aka Silver Wolf said.

"Give me a good reason not to shot you."

"Why would want to shoot me?"

"Because of simply who you work for!" Naruto yelled.

"Who I work for?"

"You work for Umbrella! The one's responsible for all of this!"

"…..I still don't know what you are talking about. I don't work for Umbrella anymore."

"Huh?"

"I haven't since they left us here for dead. I and my team were sent within this city to help rescue citizens but it was a failure. I am simply trying to find a way out of this city, to survive. There is no need to be hostile."

"How do I know I can trust you? How do I know that as soon as I lower my and turn my back that you won't shoot me?"

"If I wanted to kill you then I would've have done so moments ago." Naruto was unaware of Nicholai's true motives and plans but Nicholai seemed to have been able to earn the boy's trust as he lowered his gun slowly. "Now that trust issues are out of the way. What is your name?" He did not receive a reply but a glare from the boy, looks like he hasn't received Naruto's full trust after all. "I gave you my name, now give me yours."

"None of your business."

"You're going to be difficult to work with."

"Work with?" Naruto said. "Who's says we're pals already?"

"I only assumed…"

"No. You go your way and I'll go mine. DON'T follow me."

Naruto proceeds back the way he came but noticed that Nicholai was following in stride causing him to stop and look at Nicholai in anger.

"There is only one way out of this alley." Nicholai pointed out saying it was the way Naruto and he himself came in.

"When we get out of here, YOU get out of my sight."

None of them moved and Naruto was the one who motioned his head forward basically wanting Nicholai to lead while he would follow in back. He still did not and would not trust the man behind his back. Nicholai got the hint and only gave a smile before walking forward leading to the way out of the alley.

"Intriguing boy." Nicholai said.

Upon exiting the alley back on the street both Naruto and Nicholai walk to the center of the street. The two of them then turn to one another.

"Now get lost." Naruto demanded as he watched Nicholai.

Nicholai was about to turn and walk away until he heard the name of the boy called out by none other than his own mother.

"Naruto?"

Both Nicholai and Naruto turn looking in the direction of the approaching Kushina and Kurama. Nicholai took sight of the dog knowing of what it was and was wondering why it was by their side. He knew it was a Bio Organic Cybernetic Wolf Weapon but took notice in its different appearance than others he had seen created by Umbrella. He could tell that this one was a new model of the program different from the other previous eight so he knew that this must be a K09. Nicholai in fact had the privilege of working beside a B.O.C.W. Weapon before which did not have verbal communication like Kurama which he was unaware that Kurama was even capable of right now. He also heard the name of the boy thanks to the mother and only smiled recognizing the name.

"Naruto?" Nicholai repeated. "Interesting name." He said turning to Naruto who took aim with his Samurai Edge at him, Nicholai's rifle lowered.

"Who's he?" Kushina asked as she approached but took notice of the U.B.C.S. symbol upon Nicholai's vest.

"Umbrella!" Kurama said who quickly moves by Naruto's side in a low stance ready to pounce, Kushina joining them by their side aiming her gun.

"It talks." Nicholai said hearing the B.O.C.W.W.'s capability of speech.

He kept his sight upon Naruto knowing who he was. Everyone in Umbrella knew who Naruto was but knew him as SUBJECT 9 and survivor of the Konoha Attack. Now the situation he was in right now having guns aimed at him with a cybernetic T-Virus infected dog he was at a huge disadvantage. Nicholai was going to play as the deceiver like he did always did so far within Raccoon City pretending that he didn't know what or who caused this incident, that he didn't know Naruto was SUBJECT 9 and why Umbrella forces were after him.

"Nicholai Zinoviev of the Umbrella Security Service Task Force, Sargent of Delta Platoon B-Squad." Kurama said having the man's file but nothing crucial such as Nicholai being a Monitor Agent of the Umbrella Corporation, one of the supervisors, part of the Soviet Union and served in one of their Spetsnaz groups.

"Accurate but you forgot that I am now a former Sargent of the U.B.C.S." Nicholai said to keep up his deception.

"So what do we do?" Kushina asked.

"I want to shoot him." Naruto said.

"Let me ask you something." Nicholai said. "Who do you think it was that killed that U.B.C.S. operative in the alley?"

"It was you?" Naruto asked receiving a nod from the Russian. "Why?"

"He tried to kill me so I killed him before he could. That alone should prove that I have no further allegiance to Umbrella."

"Kurama, what do you think?"

"Unknown." Kurama answered. "It is hard to tell whether or not to his trust him."

"Good enough for me," Naruto said taking aim for Nicholai's head.

"BUT the more of us there are sticking together the greater the chances of our survival."

"So you're saying he should stick around?" Naruto asked looking to his dog who gave him a slight nod. He then looked back to Nicholai. "I don't trust him."

"Do we have a choice?" Kushina asked. "We have to everything we can to survive this, Naruto. Even if it means trusting someone you don't."

"Kushina is right." Kurama said.

Naruto didn't like the idea. He didn't like Nicholai one bit like he didn't like Wesker when he first gazed upon him. Naruto lowered his gun.

"Fine." Naruto said. "You can come with us." Nicholai gave him a nod. "BUT! If you try anything then Kurama or I won't hesitate to kill you." Naruto warned.

"Agreed." Nicholai said. He sighted the store that Naruto, Kurama and Kushina planned taking cover in and began walking toward it but came to a stop five steps later looking upon it. "You plan taking shelter in there?"

"Yes." Kushina said.

"I haven't been in there but it is surely to have some hostiles inside." Nicholai said.

"What makes you say this?" Naruto asked.

"Survivors may have taken shelter inside but they could all be zombies. It would not be safe to proceed inside blind."

"We already have an idea of how to take care of that."

"Oh?" Nicholai asked as he turned to the boy who took a knee before Kurama.

"I found this, Kurama." Naruto said as he pulled out the radio he acquired from the dead U.B.C.S. operative.

"You managed to find a radio in that alley?" Kurama asked. "What are the odds of that?"

"Can we use this to establish our own line of communications between us?" Naruto asked.

"It will do." Kurama said as he examined the radio. "I will establish our own channel of communications strictly between us." His red eyes begin blinking as he was working on establishing their own channel of communications between the two of them.

"How are you able to do this, Kurama?"

"When Umbrella transformed me they implemented not only system but also the ability to establish a line of communications with the system."

"What else are you able to do besides this and turning invisible?"

"I am not sure but I just recently discovered this capability." Kurama's eyes brighten red showing that he was finished. "Finished."

Naruto put the radio within one of the pockets upon the right side of his belt to bringing up the earpiece end putting it within his ear. He was going to ask the question of what their channel was but he did not want Nicholai to hear because he still didn't trust him.

"What's our channel?" Naruto asked Kurama in a whisper making sure to have his back to Nicholai. You may never know of the possibility of Nicholai being able to read lips.

"Channel 189." Kurama answered in a whisper as he was sitting.

Naruto turned the knob on the radio to the appropriate channel and began to test it as Kurama took a few steps away.

"Testing, testing, one, two, three, testing…" Naruto said.

"I can hear you." Kurama said upon their line of communications and Naruto gave Kurama thumbs up to who walks back to join the group.

"Mom, I couldn't find another one." Naruto said.

"It's ok, Naruto." Kushina said with a smile. "Well shall we get inside?"

"First the plan." Naruto said and looked back to Kurama. "Need you to scout out that building boy."

"Very well, I will scout the inside and relay my finding to you. You and Nicholai will provide backup."

"What am I, chop liver?" Kushina asked. "I may be a woman but that doesn't mean that I can't take care of myself."

"My apologies." Kurama said. "Commencing scout."

They watched as Kurama ran toward the large store toward a broken down window and watch as he turns invisible with stealth.

"So we wait?" Kushina asked.

"We wait."

Kurama was inside the large store walking past the cash registers proceeding into the rows of different foods. Looking upon most of the rows he could see that a large amount of food was missing with some left behind, possibly ransacked by other survivors trapped within the city. As he continued to venture through he sighted zombies but didn't attack them not wanting to make such a loud ruckus that could attract nearby zombies to the location. The zombies he found inside were few as well as sighting one or two Crimson Heads. That was all that was within this store, just zombies and no possible sign of other survivors or Umbrella forces.

Back with Naruto and the others lying low behind cover Naruto receives contact from Kurama over their line of communications.

"Naruto?"

"Kurama?"

"I have finished scouting the inside of the building. There are no U.S.S. or U.B.C.S. forces and possible survivors in here. All there is are zombies along with what the Umbrella Corporation codenames as Crimson Heads, their numbers are few. There is a sufficient amount of food good enough to last a weeks' time."

"Perfect. Soooo? Do we move in?"

"Affirmative. Try to kill these zombies with silence. I would do it myself but I do not want to risk creating loud noise thus risking attracting nearby hostiles."

"Understood." Naruto said.

He put his Samurai Edge away and reached back for his rifle now within his grasp and signals to Nicholai and Kushina to follow him. The three of them proceed toward the broken down window Kurama leaped through at a slow pace. They each step inside with Naruto making Nicholai go fist followed by himself and then his mother, their feet breaking the small pieces of glass that littered the floor of the dark store under their feet. They proceeded past the cash registers listening with their ears in this dead silence and come to a stop looking upon the rows of food.

"We should split up." Nicholai said getting a look from Naruto who was wise not to trust Nicholai. "Cover more ground."

"Fine." Naruto said.

Nicholai splits from the group with Naruto joining his mother as they traverse through the store intending to take down zombies silently.

"Kurama, where are you now?" Naruto asked over their line of communications.

"I am sticking to the shadows as well as keeping an eye on our guest." Kurama replied.

"If he tries anything feel free Kurama."

"I will."

At the Raccoon City Hospital the Umbrella Security Service team known as Wolfpack was just exiting the front double doors of the hospital emerging on the clear streets before it. BELTWAY was dead having been slain by the very boy they have been chasing throughout the city. Now there were only five of them left being LUPO, VECTOR, SPECTRE, FOUR EYES, and finally BERTHA. Not only did they lose a member of their team being their demolition expert but U.S.S. Command was upset with their failure. In fact LUPO was communicating with Command as the team kept an eye out and VECTOR seeming to look to the sky above seeing the signs of the approaching mourning light. It was right now 6:37 AM and very soon day light would shine upon Raccoon City.

"This is unacceptable, Wolfpack." U.S.S. Command said. "Now you have lost the target!"

"He couldn't have gotten far, we'll find him."

"You better or you and the rest of your team will die in Raccoon City."

"The capture could have been a success if a certain K09 didn't come popping into the picture that YOU had us create." LUPO pointed out. "That team of U.B.C.S. would have been on the roof alive and Naruto Namikaze's capture would have been a reality."

"Don't go trying to turn this around on us!"

"Whenever you two are done bickering perhaps we can resume the mission and locate the target." VECTOR said interfering in LUPO and U.S.S. Commands argument with one another.

"Relocate the target, Wolfpack! Command over and out."

U.S.S. Command cut off communication with Wolfpack with LUPO grunt in anger.

"So to Army Street?" SPECTRE asked as he looked up the street he saw Naruto, Kushina, and Kurama flee down.

"Move it!" LUPO commanded.

With the four survivors at the store Naruto, Kushina, Kurama and Nicholai were gathered in the back of the store where stock was. They had cleared the store of roaming zombies they had managed to take out stealthily without having to waste ammo. Naruto was sitting on the floor before the glowing yellow glow sticks Nicholai was carrying around with him, Kushina sitting atop a table and Kurama sitting right next to Naruto looking across to Nicholai who was sitting against a wall checking his rifle. Naruto still had his eyes upon Nicholai not trusting the man for one second so much he refused to take his eyes off of him. However he had to for now as he looked over his shoulder to his mother who was still keeping her distance from him eating one of the bag of chips Naruto acquired.

"Kurama?" Naruto asked in a low tone.

"Yes?"

"What happened to me on that roof?"

Kurama looked back to Kushina over his shoulder and then to Nicholai and finally back to Naruto.

"Would you prefer a lie or the truth?"

"Truth, Kurama. Tell me why my own mother is so distant."

"You were acting like a madman."

"What do you mean?"

"You were not yourself. Do you not remember anything?"

"No."

"You killed one of Wolfpack."

"I did?" Naruto asked as he looked to Kurama in confusion. "Which one?"

"The one known as BELTWAY, the big one."

"….I remember." Naruto said remembering the big guy on the team as well as the memories of him removing his head from his shoulder execution style.

"You let yourself fall into a drunken stupor of power which was reckless. You attacked anything and anyone in sight without a care in the world, including your own mother."

"Did I!"

"No. I arrived in time to stop you. It was after our fall from the roof of the hospital that you regained your senses."

"So mom's afraid of me then?"

"I would not say afraid."

"Then what?"

"Worried."

"What do I do?"

"Talk."

"Yeah, you're right." Naruto then looked to Nicholai. "Keep an eye on him."

"Will do."

Naruto walked up to Kushina stopping before her.

"Mom, are you ok?" Naruto asked.

"I'm fine son."

"Kurama told me what happened on the roof. How I acted."

"It was…frightening." Kushina said. "As I watched you kill that large thing I wondered what in God's name has Umbrella done to my child."

"I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault."

"But it is."

"What?"

"I let myself end up like that. It's just that I wanted that damn group of Umbrella dogs to get off my back. I didn't mean to lose control like that."

"It's not your fault, Naruto. It's Umbrella's."

"So you are not mad or scared of me?"

"Of course not."

"Thanks mom." Naruto said. "You should get some sleep."

"The one that needs sleep here is you." Kushina said.

"I'm fine."

"I can see the bags under your eyes, Naruto." Kushina said. "Get some sleep."

Naruto looked over his shoulder toward Nicholai. "Are you sure?"

"Don't worry about your mother. Besides I have Kurama to keep an eye out." Kushina said.

"Ok then."

The Advent91: I end it right there. Nicholai has appeared and most likely he will also be in the next chapter 3-6. Now to those who are wondering what the mysterious creature in the shadows was will be revealed soon, just be patient. Hope you liked the chapter even with the SEVERE lack of action. Anyway until next time.
