Hey guys and girls.
Welcome back to a brand new chapter to Dead Men Walk Again.
So the last place we left Naruto was where he had unlocked the first few steps of what needs to be done regarding the whole Marker business. Not to mention, the very object being revealed to them. Hokuto, having nearly half her DNA as a Necromorph, she has transformed into what she is.
Having their base of operations compromised they sought a new home, only to wind up on the Don's door. Saya's father. As well as seeing that he hates Naruto for doing what he did, he has sent a dealy bullet into the virus construct. How will our hero face challenges with his powers sealed away thanks to a piece of bio engineered lead? Read and find out.
But here you go.
Enjoy.
Disclaimers: I own nothing.
Chapter 8: Revealed.
Jumping over the infected like they were just simple hurdles, Hokuto landed on the side of a building, her blades on her back embedding into the wall, holding her in place. In her arms, a badly injured Naruto. They had been on the run for about 6 hours and she needed to find a way to restore Naruto's powers while every single infected was trying to chew their limbs off. No pressure right?
''Naruto-kun. Hold on.'' she said as she used her blades to climb the building at incredible speeds.
By the time she made it up, she set Naruto down who was now waking up. Watching the teen wake up and get his bearings, his eyes landed on Hokuto who was looking down in what had happened.
''Urg. What's going on?'' asked Naruto as he slowly got up, flinching in pain and grabbing his arm.
''I'm sorry Naruto-kun. But you got shot. And right now I don't know what is going to happen now that you don't hold any form of powers. The Don said that the stuff inside those bullets can kill you.'' said Hokuto only to feel a reassuring hand on her shoulder. Looking up she found herself staring up into Naruto's eyes. Seeing only sympathy.
''There is no need to feel bad for me getting shot. So what if I'm dying. I'm planning on using the time I have left to try and save as many people as possible. Will you help me?'' asked Naruto only to have Hokuto bring him into a hug.
''I'd be glad to.'' she said feeling Naruto return the hug.
She'd never admit it. But Naruto had actually stolen her heart. She felt a connection to him ever since she met him at Gentek. And now here she was. Alone with him, oh how she wanted to fuck him now. But she wanted to do it when he wanted it too.
''Hello? Is anyone on this frequency? We need help at the airport. We're being swarmed.'' came a voice over a radio.
Turning around and finding a dead soldier behind the one pillar. Naruto pulled his comms off and shoved it in his ear.
''This is Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze. Can we provide assisstance?'' asked Naruto.
''Uzumaki-Namikaze? Naruto? How are you...Never mind. My name is Rika. Right now we've got civilians getting chomped by weird things with blades coming out their back and other strange things.'' said the woman on the other end.
''Copy that, we'll get there now.'' said Naruto hanging up and grabbing the soldiers rifle being an M4A1 Carbine and 4 mags of ammo.
Nodding to Hokuto he ran to the edge and jumped off, having Hokuto scream at him for not doing that, and found that he still retained a few of his powers. He could still glide and do a few other things. Gliding to the next building the Hokuto in hot pursuit. Landing on the face of the building they sprinted up it.
After few minutes of hopping over buildings, Naruto and Hokuto landed on a building that had enough height needed to have them make it to the airport.
Nodding to each other. Naruto and her launched off and flew straight onto the runway and began their slaughter of the zombies and Necromorph that were there. Naruto emptied out on the monsters while Hokuto was having a blast swinging her claws around and blades. It only took a matter of minutes to have the entire base back in their control. Walking out came Rika and a handful of people who looked to be mercs. They all raised their weapons at Hokuto but Naruto jumped in the way.
''Don't you dare point your guns at her. She hasn't done anything wro-*cough* *cough* *cough*.'' Naruto began coughing very excessively as blood flowed down his mouth and onto the ground while his tendrils swirled around him.
Dropping to the floor he passed out as more blood came out his mouth and pooled. Hokuto dropped down and held him close to her, resting his head on her lap.
''Please be okay. Naruto-kun.'' she said very worried about her crush's safety.
Dream.
Naruto found himself back in his young body again. His father showing him around the area where the scientists worked. He walked past an area where he saw what looked to be fanatical monstrous things that resembled humans once apon a time.
''This is our greatest achievement.'' said Minato stopping at a window and lifting Naruto up to see The Marker. It was full black and had strange red Glyphs everywhere.
''Turn it off.'' said Naruto going into a trance.
''What?'' asked Minato putting his son down.
''Turn it off. Turn it off.'' said Naruto in his trance like state.
''Snap out of it.'' said Minato grabbing his son.
''MAKE US WHOLE!'' shouted Naruto snapping his head to his father, scaring Minato to no extent.
Dream end.
Waking up to find himself in the waiting area of the airport, he pulled himself up to a sitting position.
''I'm glad you've woken up.'' came a voice to the side of him.
Turning to see the woman he saw eariler there he only realised he hadn't taken a good look at her. Her purple hair was more longer and uniform top was opened to reveal her assets for him to bear witness to.
''You must be Rika.'' said Naruto getting up and flinching even more.
''I'm surprised.'' said Rika.
''What you mean?'' asked Naruto.
''Normally people would say: Where am I? You're the first who hasn't done that. And yes, I'm Rika. We've been holding our own here for quite some time now and with more of them and less of us we're counting the days we have left til we join them.'' said Rika lighting up a cigarette.
''I see. But now that we're here we have a chance.'' said Naruto with Rika nodding as she blew out some smoke.
''I agree. But just answer me one thing. What are you two?'' asked Rika as Naruto went to the window finding Hokuto outside swinging around her blades and clawing at air as if she was training in using them more effectively.
''I'm a product of the Blacklight virus and she is a result of some experiments. I don't know what though yet.'' said Naruto as he pulled off his shirt scrunching his face up.
His eyes widened at what he saw. Right where the bullet that hit him in the arm, a weird sack of red ooze that resembled puss rested right on his arm. Pulling up his shirt he found the same thing on his chest. This was not looking good.
''That doesn't look so good.'' said Rika.
''Tell me something I don't know.'' said Naruto.
''Heh, I like your attitude kid. We have our one oporative in the field right now. She said she was onto something big and requested she go and find it. We lost comms with her a day ago.'' said Rika.
''What was she going on about?'' asked Naruto.
''Apparently she said she may have found a cure to what has been done to our world. She went over to the morgue that held your body.'' said Rika as Naruto crossed his arms.
Just the meer mention of a morgue gave him the creeps. And why wouldn't they.
''*Sigh* I'll get her.'' said Naruto as he walked back to the chairs and grabbed his M4A1.
''Good. She goes by the name of Tsunade Senju. She also is our top medic.'' said Rika making Naruto don a shocked expression.
''What?'' she asked.
''Tsunade is my aunt.'' replied Naruto.
''Well then it will be one hell of a reunion.'' said Rika.
''That it will.'' said Naruto as he put in a new mag and cocked the gun.
Walking out he saw Hokuto training, but stopped when she spotted Naruto. Stopping what she was doing and walking up to him. She brought him into another hug and looked into his eyes.
''Where you going?'' she asked.
''To a morgue.'' replied Naruto.
''I'm going with.'' she said only to have Naruto shake his head.
''No. If things here get messy again, I want you to defend it. I promise I will be back.'' said Naruto.
''Don't be gone too long.'' she said only to have Naruto chuckle a bit.
''Yes mom.'' he replied earning a slap on his arm.
Walking out the gates of the airport he shot off to where this all started. The morgue he woke up in. It didn't take long for him to get to the morgue. It looked more creepy than when he woke up here. The front door was destroyed and only a small slit was open that allowed entry. Walking up to it he walked in and activated the flashlight attachment to the M4A1.
Walking slowly across the dark hallways, he could only feel a sense of hauntedness. Bodies littered the area along with bones of people. Blood painted the walls and the smell of death hung in the air. Yup, if there was one thing Naruto knew about his aunt. It was that she loved working in these type of scenarios. It was just like her to do that.
Hearing something move, he flashed the flash light in that position and found a knocked over plant. Slowly stepping back and slowly moving the rifle around, he looked around. But when his flash light hit the roof, a Necromorph jumped down and pushed him onto the ground. Taking a nice snack on his shoulder. Biting him to no extent. Trying desperately to grab his gun he heard the sounds of a gunshot and then the body of the monster dropped lifeless onto him.
''Next time you must focus on the weak points.'' came the voice of the person who saved him. And only Naruto knew who talked like that.
''Tsaunde-san.'' said Naruto as he spun around and hugged his aunt.
''Naruto-san. Look at you. You've grown up quite a bit.'' said Tsunade.
''What were you doing here?'' asked Naruto as he picked up his gun and cocked it.
''Trying to fix this fucking world. I heard that the tissue of patient zero was the perfect subject to create a vaccine. But I couldn't find patient zero.'' she said as she pulled out the mag for her pistol and found she had 7 rounds left. So she pushed the mag back in.
''Then maybe you can help me here.'' said Naruto pulling up his shirt to reveal the pussy sack on his chest.
''Yes. That could work. But how do you have this?'' asked Tsuande only to see the tendrils ripple around Naruto.
''I guess you could say that I'm dead already.'' said Naruto.
''Hm. Guess so. Okay. We need to get back to the airport. From there I can set up a basic lab and try and help you in that situation you're in.'' said Tsunade.
''Thanks.'' said Naruto as he and her walked out the morgue.
45 minutes later.
Arriving back at the airport, Tsuande got to work on trying to see what was wrong with Naruto. Hokuto watched on with fascination as Tsunade took a scapel to one of the sacks and cut it open. To their surprise the wound on the sack just sealed up with no form of damages or leakage.
''Will you be able to fix this?'' asked Naruto putting his shirt back on after Tsunade had finished her examination of him.
''We will. Though I need more infected tissue. If you can find me more infected tissue on the place we were just at. I'd be very grateful.'' said Tsunade.
''Got it.'' said Naruto getting up and taking a hold of his assulat rifle only to have Rika grab the gun and yank it away.
''You can't have this thing. Take this.'' she said holding out an ACR-8.6 for him.
''Thank you.'' said Naruto taking the gun as well as 7 mags for the gun. Giving him a wink and letting him leave, he made his way out to find Hokuto smiling at him.
''Good luck.'' she said with a smile.
''You too.'' said Naruto as he made his way out the airport. Hell bent on having himself get fixed and back in the fight with his powers as his again.
And scene.
Thank you all for reading the newest chapter to Dead Men Walk Again. So Naruto has found his aunt being Tsunade and now that he knows she seeks to roll back this apocalypse they may have a fighting chance. But Naruto still feels he needs to help the ones he loves. Being Hokuto, Meiya, Seako, Saya, Shizuka and anyone else.
As well, Rika has begun to take a liking to Naruto. This will be good no?
