Disclaimers: I own nothing.

Chapter 10: I'm So Sorry.

Right now the group could only stare on in awe as Naruto moved at break neck speeds. His Claws barely holding to stay active as he sprinted. The tendrils swirled in a voilent manner as they slowly receeded back into Naruto's skin, but was pushed back out as Naruto pushed his body to its absolute limits. Hokuto, watching her love interest do this, shed a tear for him. Seeing him do this while she wanted to help him out, couldn't as she needed to help the convoy. And on top of that the miniguns on the roofs of some of the Humvies, had run out of bullets.

So she had to stay with them. Naruto had arrived at the Supreme Hunter and jumped into the air, only to be grabbed by the thing and slammed into the ground. Coughing up blood as he impacted the tar. He watched as the beast laughed at him through a low growl. Slowly getting up to find that his healing factor was slowly giving out, as the wounds on his body were still there. Sacrificing his left Claw to compensate the Reganeration factor. Watching as his left arm returned to normal his eyes widened in shock. When the tendrils that left his skin and returned to be under it, it revealed his entire arm covered in blood. Realising this, his arm lost all feeling and now hung limply by his side. Great.

Jumping into the air as he drove the Claw down, he sent it into the ground, sending up his signature Critical Mass Attack. Ground Spike Devastation. But with him not being in a Critical Mass state and his Claws being what they are, it was a very weak attack that just brought up a few spikes that just grazed the beast. And once again the beast laughed as it reared up and literaly slapped Naruto away, sending him through 3 buildings.

"Naru-kun!" shouted Hokuto as she sliced a Necromorph in half.

Slowly getting up. Naruto took a step forward and immediately dropped to his knees. Looking down he grunted in pain as a steel pipe was going through his gut. Grabbing the pipe he slowly pulled it out. This was not looking good. But as he slowly made his way to the monster, the Glyphs were once again seen in his vision. As his episode was happening, a Necromorph jumped down from the ledge above him and stabbed him through the gut. Coughing up a lot of blood he looked to see Hokuto sprinting at him, her blades and claws at the ready to kill the thing latched onto him.

''Do you not wish to die?'' came the voice in his mind.

''I'll never give in.'' replied Naruto.

''Will you accept my gift? The very power of the Necromorph? An agent of the Marker?'' asked the voice.

''I'd hate to admit it. But I accept. But only for a few minutes.'' said Naruto.

And his fate was sealed. His eyes shot open to reveal a full black sclera, his iris changed to be pure yellow and his body was racked with pain. His canines lengthened and his body turned into a beast of nightmares.

Hokuto from her position was sprinting to meet her beloved when she saw this happen. Coming to a seering halt, she watched as two blades that were serated on one side cmae bursting out his back and Glyphs appeared on his skin.

Looking dead in the eyes of the Necromorph, Naruto grabbed his face and with one flex of his hand, the infected's head burst in an explosion of blood. His hand now covered in blood Naruto got onto his haunches and rushed the Supreme Hunter. With his new and improved speed and strength he was able to slam into the beast and knock it down. Hokuto was so stunned at the sheer power Naruto now held. Was this because of the Marker's influence much like her? But just as she was about to help Naruto, she dropped to the floor clutching her head, Glyphs appeared and burned onto her skin as she screamed in pain. Rika, seeing this, pulled out a pistol and pulled the trigger. Hokuto dropped to the floor.

Hearing the gunshot, Naruto looked over to Hokuto. In his frenzied, infected rage, he began to feel more and more at anger as he stared at the body of Hokuto. Looking to Rika, he bared his teeth and charged to her. Rika saw this and ordered her men to point their weapons just in case at Naruto. She watched as he jumped into the air and bring down both his blades. Ready to purge her from existance. But that was when the astonishing happened. Jumping out of the car and into the way of Naruto, was the little girl. Not being able to stop, Naruto's eyes returned to normal and at the last minute, he regained his senses and the blades penetrated her kidneys. She coughed up blood and Naruto began to shed tears.

''Little one. Why?'' asked Naruto as she gave him a weak smile.

''You've finally woken up. Nii, she didn't kill...Hokuto-san.'' said the girl making Rika nod her head and pull out the magazine.

''It was...a tranq dart.'' she added as she coughed up more blood.

''I...I...'' said Naruto as the little girl placed her hands onto his face, cupping his cheeks.

''It's alright nii... I'm going...home. My...parents...and...nee-san...they're waiting.'' she said as she closed her eyes.

''No...no...nononononononono. Don't leave me. Tsunade-san. Give her some shots. Stims? Adrenaline? Roids? Anything!'' begged Naruto as he held her in his arms watching Tsunade shake her head.

''I'm sorry Naruto-san. But you killed her.'' said Tsuande.

''No. NO! I'll never accept this!'' shouted Naruto earning a slap through the face from Rika.

''Naruto. We need to move. Your actions did this, you killed her. If you didn't allow that power to overwelm you, you'd be fine. We're leaving, we'll hold a ceremony for her. Grab Hokuto.'' snapped Rika surprising Tsunade.

Doing as she instructed, Naruto grabbed Hokuto and placed her into the humvie. Getting into the car, Naruto's Necro Phase (A.N. Calling his Necromorph power that). vanished and he watched as his blood pooled around him. His infection rate had increased to the point where he is now on death's door. Collapsing in the car, Tsunade got to work on him. Patching up his wounds and doing everything she could to save him. She had no choice but to multitask. She had to get this cure done now.

Pulling up to a excluded area, they got everyone inside. Naruto was breathing heavily as the Glyphs on his skin glowed a voilent red colour. Tsunade knew time was not on her side. She had to get the cure done. Getting everything set up in an office as her lab, she found a few bottles of purified air, a breather and some IV drips. This was perfect. Putting Naruto on these things, she got started. She knew she needed a sample of Naruto's DNA, but she just couldn't do it. Not to her own nephew.

''Do it.'' came a voice.

Looking down she found Naruto looking at her with the breather still on his face. His eyes burned with fury as knowing what she was planning on doing.

''But I can't.'' she replied as she held the scalpal in her hand which was now shaking badly.

''Do it. Remember, I'm doing this to regain the power I had to save us.'' added Naruto.

''Are you sure about this?'' asked Tsunade knowing that Naruto was stubborn when he put his mind to it.

''Yes. Do it.'' said Naruto as he turned his face from her and closed his eyes, bracing himself for what was to come.

Walking up to him, she placed the scalpal on his arm and began to cut. Naruto's screams pierced the room with such anguish and power. Everyone did their best to ignore what was happening. Even Hokuto who was awake and feeling fine, tried her best to not concerntrate on the noise being made by Naruto. Tsunade felt tears run down her cheeks as she pushed further with the knife. But she had to push through it. FInally getting the piece of flesh she wanted she found his entire arm filled with wriggling worm like tendrils. But they looked to be pretty docile. No doubt from the infection in him. Sewing up the wound she told him to relax in the bed as she went out the room to synthasize the cure for him. Choosing this to be the best time to get some rest, Naruto closed his eyes to find himself in a dream.

He was in a very dark forest, mist rolled in from Kami knows where. Shadowy figures flowed past his vision, whispering things to no one.

''Naruto.'' he heard.

Spinning around so fast he looked as to who said that. But he found no one.

''Naruto.'' he heard again but this time behind him.

Turning around he was greeted with the sight of seeing the little girl he killed today run past, laughing as she played with what looked to be a doll.

Deciding to follow the girl he found that it was difficult to move. As if the air itself was tough and course. Preventing him to move at the usual speed he would. Spotting the girl he reached out his hand only to hear a cry of an infected out of nowhere, causing the girl to get scared and run off. Cursing his luck he ran after her. Damn she moved fast.

After a series of twists and turns, Naruto finally had her dead in his sights. Zeroing in on her he reached out his hand to the crouching, crying girl. Slowly turning around, she looked into his eyes as she burst into flames. Naruto stood there stunned at what he was seeing. Her skin melted, her eyes burned. A grueling sight to see for any person.

''Make us whole!'' she screamed.

Snapping his eyes awake to find a weight on his chest, he looked down to find a mop of pink tinted hair on his right side and a mop of purple hair on his left. Both lovely girls had Naruto perfectly pinned and he couldn't even move. Feeling pretty confident at what was going on, Naruto closed his eyes as he wiggled his arms free and brought them close. Though it was very painful for his one arm seeing that Tsunade did a bit of surgery on it, and his healing factor having repaired a good portion of the wound, he heard them sigh as he felt asleep once again with both girls sighing in contentness.

But in the one office was Tsunade. Shaking her head at what she was seeing she just knew this was going to end badly. She had managed to power up a computor using a small wind turbine she found on the roof she felt absolute guilt and sorrow. Reason being was that she scanned the infection rate in Naruto's cells being the good ones of the Blacklight virus. And then the ones to help synthisize a cure for the T-Virus in the cells of his body using the infected parts. Sadly, Naruto would have to remain bedridden for the time alocated for the healing process to take place. And even that was a big issue. The infection rate of the T-Virus was so high in Naruto's cells that she feared the worst where the cure would just be too weak and Naruto would die. She drew up a probbability on the screen and no matter what formula she used, she always came to the same value of survival for Naruto.

It read:

Surivival count: Uncertain

That was an extreme value and she would never know if Naruto would be strong enough. She had to hide this knowledge from Naruto. She just didn't want him to suffer. But he was already suffering and the way his body was decaying, was just further proof that he needed this. What should she do? There were people who loved Naruto, and she knew that if he died, they'd be sad as hell. What was she supposed to do?

And scene.

So Naruto has let the Marker voices take over his body for unbelievable power. Sadly in the wake of it, he has killed the little girl by accident. And now he's had a dream where she is about to die.

Yes I took the idea from Mass Effect 3 will that kid. I thought it would be good. So yeah. As well, the odds of Naruto surviving the cure now made is very slim, and Tsunade fears the worst. Just what will she do?

Who knows, only me.
