I'm surprised how fast this story blew up. Please keep reviewing. I don't own Naruto or HOTD.
"Ma'am we have to move. Now" Naruto hauled the nurse up and led her down the hallway, ignoring her squeaks when she slipped in fresh blood.
"Blondie-san!" a voice called from down the hallway. Naruto growled at the nickname and turned to face a pink-haired girl wearing glasses.
"Do not call me that" Naruto leveled his revolver at her.
"No! I'm sorry!" she held up her hands meekly.
Bang.
A hollow point tore through the frontal lobe of an infected about to take a chunk out of the girl's defenseless neck.
His eyes bore into hers before he turned sharply on his heel," If you want to live, I recommend you come with us and start paying attention."
The sound of compressed air announced a nail flying into the temple of a crawling zombie that was about to rip a hole in Shizuka's ankle.
"You're not half-bad with that" a slightly chubby boy motioned to Naruto's revolver.
"Same to you, that's an interesting weapon. Very innovative. Thanks for the save, we owe you one."
"What's your name?"
"Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, who are you two?"
"My name is Saya, the chubby gun-otaku over there is Kohta."
"I've got three people on the roof I need to retrieve. Head to the lobby and keep your mouths shut. These fuckers rely solely on sound" Naruto turned and shushined away, scaring the ever loving Hell out of the three students.
The Roof
Scores of the undead crowded the roof, moaning and shuffling aimlessly on the hot tar. A barricade at the top of a set of stairs glinted in the sunlight. Naruto hurled a three-pronged kunai that stuck into the wall next to it.
"I fucking love this jutsu; it's the only way to travel" Naruto grinned before disappearing in a flash of pure gold and reappearing at the top of the stairs.
"Dammit! Hisashi's turning! "
"Takashi, do it! I don't want to be one of those damned things! I want to be me until the end!" Hisashi pleaded to Takashi.
The blonde hurtled the barricade and hustled around the corner. A bandage was wrapped tightly around the grey-haired boy's right bicep, dark crimson blood spilling onto the roof.
"Hisashi, no you can't! Takashi, I won't let you!" the girl cried out.
"You have to do it, Takashi. Otherwise…he'll turn on us" Naruto made his presence known.
"Who are you to say that?! He could live!"
"We can't take that chance, Rei. He's in pain!" Takashi gripped his bat tightly.
"Please, Takashi…just do it" Hisashi bowed his head, leaving him defenseless. Naruto sighed, another person willing to sacrifice himself to help protect the safety of others.
"Let me do it. It was my fault you three went for the roof and my fault for leaving you unprotected" Naruto tugged on Takashi's shoulder and steered him towards the sobbing Rei. Takashi hid her eyes with his hand.
Shing.
The tanto was extracted from its sheath, its blade almost glowing in the sun," I promise you, Hisashi, it will be painless."
"Did…did I help anyone?"
"You protected two people with your life at your own peril. You've earned your title as a hero."
Hisashi smiled. It was frozen in place as Naruto rammed the sword through his forehead. Naruto quickly covered him with a tarp; with a stamp of his foot he created a crater in the roof where he placed Hisashi's body. A makeshift grave.
Rei sobbed onto the broken concrete where Hisashi's chest would be as Naruto and Takashi looked out into the city.
"I'm sorry" Naruto lowered his head.
"Couldn't be helped….it's only going to get worse, isn't it?"
"Worse than you could ever fathom" Naruto cleaned the blood off his blade.
"What's the point of living anymore? If we have to keep doing things like this, what's the point?" Rei said, almost to herself.
"Rei! Hisashi wouldn't want you to say that!" Takashi went to comfort her, only to stop when she shot him a venom-filled glare.
"And how would you know?! You hated Hisashi because he was dating me! I bet you enjoyed seeing him die!" Rei spat.
Something seemed to break inside Takashi as his eye dimmed ever so slightly and he backed away.
"Where do you think you're going?" she shouted, a little more out of fear than anger.
"I don't want to be a bother, I'll leave you to destroy Them" Takashi rounded the corner towards the barricade.
Naruto grabbed Rei by the wrist," If you don't stop him right the fuck now you'll never forgive yourself when he dies. You may have liked Hisashi but it's obvious to anyone with half a goddamn brain cell that you love Takashi. If he dies the blood will be on your hands."
The blonde shinobi released her and went back to cleaning his sword quietly.
Rei shook slightly before rushing after the brown haired teenager," Takashi! No, don't go! Stay here! Please, you're all that I have left."
She grabbed hold of his arm, stopping him from climbing over the straining barricade.
"Why? I thought you hated me?" Takashi asked in a monotone.
"Nope. Uh-uh, none of that emo shit. I had enough of that from someone back home. Just fucking forgive each other already you hormonal dumbasses" Naruto's voice drifted from around the corner.
"Please…Stay" Rei clutched his arm tightly and cried.
Thankfully, he stepped down and embraced Rei tightly.
"Reminds me of Anko" Naruto sighed.
Anko? Yep, they got together the night he was promoted to jonin. Best night of his young life. That had been a year ago…
"I wonder if she even misses me"
Konoha Hokage Tower (Two hours Earlier)
"HE'S WHAT!?" a trench coat clad woman screamed at the top of her lungs. She couldn't fucking believe it…her Naruto. HERS. Was gone. Was this Kami's sick way of fucking with her time and time again? She's finally happy and then it's all swept away like it was nothing?
"The councils betrayed us, they kidnapped Sasuke Uchiha's wife and child and threatened to kill them…he had no choice" Tsunade threw her sake away, her drinking had cost her the only thing she's had to call a son.
Anko was gone in a quarter of a heartbeat. No sooner than Tsunade's sake hit the floor did screams echo from the council chambers.
"Mitarashi? What are you-AAGH!" Tsunade could hear Homura choking on his own blood along with Koharu. Isako had been saved specifically for the Rookie 9 do deal with.
The cell she was being held in is no being cleaned with a very powerful hose.
"Naruto may not have wanted them punished..but I damn sure do!" Tsunade had officially ordered the execution of both councils and had the approval of the Fire Daimyo, someone whom Naruto had saved personally.
It was going to be a long road to recovery in Konoha…a long road indeed.
Dimensional Rift Closed, Back to Japan.
"What happens now?" Takashi approached Naruto.
"We need someplace safe. Shelter, water, food, clothing…maybe some of these shiny things" Naruto held up his gun.
"Guns? Firearms and bullets? How the Hell do you not know what those are?" Rei gave Naruto an odd look.
"I'll explain later. We need to get to another group of people that are waiting for us" Naruto grabbed ahold of both Rei and Takashi after throwing his special kunai at the door leading down from the roof.
In a flash of gold, they appeared at the door, "What the fuck was that?"
Takashi and Rei were both gagging on their breakfast.
"Is this really the fucking place to be asking questions?" Naruto gestured to the undead currently shuffling towards them.
"Point taken" Takashi opened the door of the roof and ushered the two inside. As quietly as the trio could, they made their way to the lobby.
The sound of a drill and a terrified scream gave them cause to sprint faster.
"Saya-san!" Naruto past the other two and reached the lobby in time to see Saya ram a drill into an infected's face. Her eyes were wide and feral, the blood streaking around her mouth only added to the look. The drill began to slow as flesh bunched around it, fragments of skull broke free and crumbled on the floor.
After a few seconds, the zombie stopped twitching and Saya stopped screaming. Now she just wailed. Naruto quickly had her wrapped up in a tight embrace; he called this K.S. or Killing Shock. It was a common occurrence after killing one of Them for the first time.
"It'll be fine, it'll all be alright. I promise we'll be alright" Naruto whispered into her hair softly and felt her trembling taper off. He let Shizuka take over after a while.
He had survivors to save.
Thwack.
A zombie rocketed past the group before slamming into a trophy case.
"Holy shit" Naruto cocked his head to the side.
"Double shit" Takashi did the same when the trophy case collapsed and shredded the zombie with broken glass.
"Men, such geniuses with responses" a purple-haired swordswoman stepped out from the shadows, the ghost of a smile on her face.
"Lady Saeko" Takashi and Kohta bowed, much to Saeko's annoyance.
"You're not half-bad with that sword, Sae-chan" Naruto smiled his foxy smile. A fist connected with the back of his head.
"Show some respect!" Kohta yelled. He soon found himself pinned to a wall.
"Do you like where your balls are?" Naruto put his face close to Kohta's.
Naruto received a nod.
"Do you want them ripped off and shoved up your ass?"
Naruto received a frantic 'no'.
Naruto's grin turned feral," Then I will address people how I wish, Koh-hime. Understood?"
"H-hai" Kohta squeaked slightly as Naruto let him drop.
"Now, we need to get out of this school ASAP. What's the fastest mode of transportation?"
"The school shuttle could get all of us out" Shizuka dangled a set of keys.
"When did you grab those?" Saya questioned.
"Maybe I'm not the dummy everyone thinks I am" Shizuka huffed before tripping over her own skirt and faceplanting.
"Well…so much for that theory" Takashi laughed slightly.
"So what's the plan?" Kohta asked.
"Simple…we blow this zombie ridden pop stand" Rei tried to be brave and succeeded.
"You heard the lady. Let's move."
And that is the second chapter. Hope you enjoy. See you later bro's.
