Chapter 19: With You No Matter What.
Naruto pushed his body its absolute limits. He knew that his friends and girlfriends were not yet ready to go into fights seeing that some of them still couldn't use their powers yet.
Building to a building and shooting up it as fast as he could he scouted out ahead as he began to fall. But his body responded on its own and created what looked to be wings made of tendrils. Using these new wings he flew over to his friends as quickly as he could.
With everyone else.
Saeko was doing everything she could to defend the hordes that kept on them. She had to give them credit at persisting. But come on. Just give them a break right? Swinging her katana around which she got from the Don she skewered a few zombies as a howl was soon heard. Looking over to the horizon, they spotted a Bijuu clss infected. It was the same one that killed the Don. Saeko bit her lip in frustration.
"Everyone. Move!" she shouted.
Saya helped her mother along who had just ran out of bullets. And now she was using a Bowie Knife. But with such little reach on the thing. She had nothing left but to pray in the Humvie.
Alice was doing her best at keeping Kohta's weapons not running dry. But she only found 2 mags left. Kohta's unique power was the ability to heighten his eye sight to an unparalleled degree. Even dwarfing Naruto's senses when he heightened his. He named it Eagle's Eye. But he used it all up and was exhausted to power it up again.
The Humvie soon came to a stop as they found a nice chunck of building in their way. Everyone turned to the building and then to the horde as well as the approaching Bijuu class.
'It can't end like this.' thought Hokuto.
'If we had just trusted Naru-kun we wouldn't be in this mess.' thought Rika.
'I'm so sorry. Naru-chan.' thought Kyoko as the horde closed in on them.
But just as they were about to charge in and go for the kill. An object landed between the horde and the Humvie. Dust and smoke was kicked up as both sides stared on at the object in question. When the dust cleared, Naruto stood there. His tendril wings no more and his hands were the Drill Fist.
Slowly getting up as the occupants in the car stared on, Naruto turned to the horde, his dull eyes blazed with hatred as he slowly walked towards them. Both Rika and Hokuto were extremely happy to see the man they loved was okay. But they soon felt something different about him. It was like he was changed. Like he just learnt something about his being.

Naruto moved with great skill and grace as if he was able to phase between reality and illusion. It was incredible. Swinging his arms around, letting the tendril like chains that connected to the finger blades, reach out and attack the incoming enemies.
Shooting into the air as he reverted his arms back to normal, he charged up a swirling mass of tendrils into his hands and fired it. A thick red and black stream was seen as the tendril hit the ground and dispersed to impale many of the infected. But Naruto wasn't finished as he readied more of the various abilities in his arsenal.
Switching to his Claws he drove forward and sliced and diced many of the infected. He didn't care anymore. He didn't worry anymore. All that he wanted, was those he cared for to be safe. As he kept this up, his mind kept giving him flashbacks of his past. When his mother smiled to him when he was young. Getting the thumbs up from his father when he won first place at the science fest.
And finally, the last image was that of him and his family holding hands together as they walked to the beach.
'I'm fine with being a monster.'he thought as he sprinted to a group of zombies and swung down, severing them in half.
Slowly turning around only to be bitten by a zombie he kicked the thing off him as the saliva turned to become part of him. He was truly grateful to the fact that he was an infected while retaining his mind and conscience. Turning his right arm into the Blade he charged again and sliced more and more. He made it look easy but if you looked carefully, you'd notice that tears were flowing down his cheeks.
'I'm fine with everyone hating me for what I am and what I've done.' he thought more as he used a double slice attack on an infected, cutting his body in 4 perfect chuncks.
'I'm fine with the world turning its back on me.' thought Naruto more deeper into his mind as he turned to the Bijuu class infected. It had one tail swishing behind it. Naruto knew this one was called Ichibi.
Charging forth with his Blade at the ready he swung down and around, severing the limbs off the beast. Watching as the Ichibi howled in pain, Naruto began his climb up the body of the monster. Driving the Blade ever more deeper than last time. The Ichibi howled in pain as it bucked and kicked. Desperate to get the intruder off him. But Naruto ensured he had an iron grip on it.
Reaching the nape of the neck, he sliced it open and entered the beast. Finding the heart he froze up at who was the heart. It was his best friend since primary middle school. Gaara. He had two other siblings. Both older. Temari was Shikamaru's girlfriend, speaking of her, he hadn't heard from them in a while he had to know if they were okay. Kankuro was a high ranking official in the Navy. He should be at Commander now. He left the home when he was only 17. It had been a large amount of years since the last time Naruto saw him.
Gaara felt as if he was alone and blamed himself constantly for the death of his mother who died giving birth to him. Naruto was the only one to show him the light. And now he was a corpse. How low can you get. Having to spill family blood. The line that was to be never crossed. Naruto always considered Gaara to be more than a friend as he looked to the man as a brother.
"I'm sorry, Gaara-san." said Naruto as he reared the Blade back.
"You will no longer have to suffer like this. I will make sure of it." said Naruto as he swung it. Ending Gaara's suffering and crossing the forbidden line of spilling friendly blood.
Naruto teared up and broke down as he watched Gaara, in his dying breaths, smile to Naruto as he placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Thank you. Naruto-san." said Gaara as he was soon consumed by Naruto. Forever becoming part of him.
End song.
The Ichibi stopped moving as the entire structure collapsed on itself. Naruto stood there as his right arm began to morph into something more stronger than the Blade. What took shape was something incredible. The Blade looked more refined than last time, but running up Naruto's arm was what looked to be small daggers made from bio-mass which was turned to steel.
Naruto reared his arm back and swung it. The daggers were fired everywhere, including the large one. Suddenly the usage of the new ability clicked in his mind. Clicking his tongue the Blade and daggers exploded with tendrils shooting everywhere. The new upgrade he just recieved was that of exploding projectiles. He would name it, Gaara's Bane. In honor of his lost friend.
Saeko was the first to jump off the Humvie along with Saya. Both had faces of guilt as they hung their heads in absolute shame. Walking over to Naruto they stood there as he turned his head as the tears stopped. They had to get it off their chests.
"Naruto-kun." started Saeko.
"What we did to you was unfair. And we're sorry for it." said Saya as Hokuto joined them along with the others.
"But why did you kick me out like that?" asked Naruto crossing his arms as well as reverting them back to normal.
"We all just felt so shocked by your actions. And we jumped into it too soon. And for the we're sorry." said Rei.
"But I had a very good reason to not explain it to you. I was going to. But not just yet." said Naruto slightly mad.
"We know that now. And I'm sorry for going through your mind like that. I'm sorry." said Rei as she hung her head.
"Next time you wanna go through my head. Ask next time." said Naruto.
"Okay." said Rei in a shaky voice.
With that sorted out, Kyoko tackled Naruto with everything she had. She kept saying on how much she missed him and everything like that. Naruto could only just lie there as he rubbed her back. Kyoko was really in love with Naruto and she didn't give two shits on what people said about her. The world was coming to an end and she could be with the one she loved. Everything she ever wanted. She had it. And she wasn't planning on letting it go.
Naruto smiled to her as she finished everything she wanted to say and got off him. Looking over to Yuriko, Naruto made his way over to her with his head cast down. Yuriko knew what was going to come out of the boys mouth. And to be frank, she was really thankful to Naruto for saving her like that.
"Yuriko-san I'm so sorry for what I did to your husband. If there was another way you could be sure that I would do it." said Naruto only to have Yuriko place a hand on his cheek and look into his eyes. But Naruto could see something else in them and he didn't know what. He could be imagining things.
"There is no need to apologize. I forgave you when you saved us from that monster." said Yuriko as she brought Naruto into a hug.
Naruto wrapped his arms around her and smiled as he felt the warmth of a mother's love touching his heart once again. But their little hugging session was cut short as the radio in the Humvie went off.
"Hello. Is anyone on this channel?" came the voice.
Grabbing the mic, Naruto placed it so that everyone could hear.
"This is Naruto. Can we provide assist?" asked Naruto.
"We need help over by the mall near the tower. We're being overrun. Please assist." said the man over the radio.
"Copy that. We're on our way." said Naruto as they climbed in a drove forward.
As they drove Naruto gave them the run down of what happened when he left them like that. He had came across an island of people that helped him put the final puzzle pieces in. Turns out he was the key. Naruto was the key to the whole thing. If he could interface with the Marker then everything will be no more. He could stop this apocalypse. He could chance the future. But he needed to know the steps first. And Meiya along with Shizuka and Kyoko were more than willing to help out. For a small fee of course.
Finally reaching their destination, they jumped out and found many infected trying to break into the mall which was very well barricaded. He spotted a few snipers ontop the roof while their support gunners were all wiped out.
Naruto and everyone else charged in creating a path to get to the mall. Naruto and everyone defended the place while they shoved Yuriko and Alice into the mall to be protected. After a full 10 minutes, the infected were finally killed. The doors slowly opened and the leader walked out. He was very good natured businessman and he also had his wife and child out with him.
"Thank you. My name is James. This is my wife Rosette and our daughter Aki." said the man holding out his hand.
"Name's Naruto. And these are my friends." said Naruto as he heard a cough from Meiya alittle annoyed at what he just said.
"Sorry, they're my friends and girlfriends." said Naruto.
"I'm not even going to judge. Right now we've got bigger issues to deal with." said James as he led them inside and to a place they were using as their comms.
"The Navy Fleet Echo is off our coast looking for survivors. We've been trying to get our signals to them but this stupid shit keeps failing us." said James as yet another operator's systems dropped.
"Let me try." said Saya.
Allowing her to sit in one of the seats, she got to work on tuning the thing. She clicked her tongue as she turned some dials and flipped a few switches.
"You were operating at too high of a channel. That was why you weren't getting any signals and your stuff kept dying on you. Should work now." said Saya as she gave the reigns back to the operator.
"This is the USS Ehco Company. We are off the coast of Japan looking for survivors. If you're reading this, let us know so we can pick you up." came a voice Naruto knew.
Grabbing the headphones and mic he looked to the radio station with such a gleam in his eyes he could melt the poor device.
"Konkuro-san. Is that you?" asked Naruto excistedly.
"Naruto-san? How are you...? Never mind. Where are you?" asked Kankuro.
A mall near the tower. We'll mark them with flares to bee seen. We need immediate evac. Injured civilians and children too." said Naruto.
"Copy that. How many Black Hawks do you need?" asked Kankuro.
"About 12." replied Naruto.
"Roger that. Sending them now. E.T.A 30 minutes." said Kankuro as he hung up to scramble all available forces on his ship.
"30 minutes and our rides will be here. We must hold out until then." said Naruto.
"Yeah no kidding. We've got infected coming through now." said a scout coming down the stairs.
"How many clips you got?" asked Naruto.
"Enough." said James as he showed them 40 crates full of ammo.
Kohta was in heaven as his eyes twinkled in amazment while Toshimi shook her head at how her boyfriend could be sometimes.

Naruto assembled everyone there was and got down to business. He knew there may be people who wanted to fight, while others wanted to be with their familes. He had to give them the choice to fight.
"This is our final stand against those monsters out there. Black Hawks are inbound but they will not be here in the nect few minutes. E.T.A. is 30 minutes. We must hold the enemy back until then. I can't promise anyone a way out of this. But I can promise that I will ensure we get through this together. I choose to fight. Who is with me?" asked Naruto.
Slowly the people conversed amongst themselves. It seemed like a suicide mission than anything. But this was their last stand they kept saying to each other. They had to fight or die trying. How would they get through this without fighting for their lives?
Slowly a single man stood up from the crowd and eyed Naruto.
"I'll fight." he said.
Slowly two more got up, then three. Then four. Slowly all those who were able bodied stood up and were ready to take their last stand against the horde. Help was on the way. So they had to clear a path for the ladies.
Everyone got a weapon and made their way to their designated posts. Takashi took the role of support gunner and got on the 50 cal. Rika picked up a Rocket Launcher while Saya and Rei both went for sniper rifles.
Hokuto and Saeko stood by Naruto's side as they stood infront of the building. Saeko had her katana drawn and ready to go while Hokuto used her Necromorph power.
"You ready?" asked Naruto looking over to them.
"More than ready." said Hokuto and Saeko together.
End song.

Waiting for the horde to finally arrive, Rei soon enough spotted something through her scope as she scanned the area. Through her scopes, it looked to be that of a school bus. But like that of an Elementary school bus.
"Naruto-san. Got movement over on the horizon. Range 4 klicks." said Rei through the earpiece given back to him by Saya as a way to apologize and way to say that they needed him again.
"I see it. Hold fire until I say so." said Naruto as he readied Gaara's Bane.
Seeing the the bus move while swerving between cars and rubble, they soon watched in horror as a Jaggernaut infected smashed straight through the car. All of them gasped in shock as the bus soon began to catch fire.
"Bring the infected down!" said Naruto as him, Hokuto and Saeko sprinted to the bus.
Reaching it as bullets and rockets pelted the infected, Naruto smashed the windscreen open to find many children that struggled to get out as smoke engulfed the back. Looking to the driver, Naruto found a piece of steel piping going through her chest. She was hunched over the steering wheel as she bled out.
"Miss? Are you okay?" asked Naruto reaching out his normal hand.
"Save my students. Please." begged the woman in her final seconds before she died.
"Okay. Get everyone out of there now!" ordered Naruto to the girls.
"You got it." said Saeko as she broke the one window and helped bring them out, handing them to Hokuto as she pulled them out.
Spotting one in the very back struggling to get the seat belt off, Naruto bit his lip as he charged in when he saw flames engulf the outside of the back.
"Naru-chan" said Saeko as she watched him charge in to the little girl in the back.
Reaching her he held out his one hand while his right morphed to the Claw.
"Please don't hurt me." she said as she stared at the Claw, frightened by it.
"Don't worry. I'm not going to hurt you." said Naruto as he placed a bladed finger in between her and the seatbelt and pulled.
"Naru-chan. Hurry up." said Hokuto as the flames intensified.
"Hoku-chan. Catch." said Naruto as he saw Hokuto move to the front of the bus.
Throwing the girl to her, Hokuto caught her and nearly fell over. The bus exploded in a glorious sight of parts going everywhere and the smell of flesh being cooked invaded their noses.
"Naru-kun!" shouted Rika as she watched the bus exploded through the sights of her launcher.
But at that moment, a figure could be seen walking out the wreckage. Saeko and Hokuto both told the kids to not look and that they did. Turning away from the smoldering furnace the others watched as a very charred Naruto walked out the bus as his body swirled with tendrils. Returning his body back to normal. Clothes included as the body of Naruto was finished fixing iteslf.
"Man that was hot." said Naruto as he clicked his neck and walked with them.
The children all believed that Naruto was a wizard and that he used some teleportation or something like that. But they were wrong as Naruto smiled to them.
"Infected! Incoming!" shouted Takashi.
Turning around, they found a very massive horde moving torward them. Teeth bared as they snarled and snapped at their food. Looking to the children, Naruto clicked his tongue in frustration. There simply wasn't enough people for them to carry.
"Open fire." said Naruto.
Bullet flew from the barrels of weapons as they gave them cover fire. Naruto, Saeko and Hokuto sprinted with the children to get the to safety at the mall. Finally reaching it they readied themselves for the bloodshed that would befall them.
End Song.

Readying Gaara's Bane on one arm while he changed the other to the Drill Fist, he watched as the others too changed to their powers. Looking back to the swarm moving to them, Naruto and the others growled as they charged further to them. Shouts of truimph echoed through their ears as the gap between them became smaller and smaller.
Jumping into the air as he slammed his Drill Fist into the ground, he found it had a similar effect as Ground Spike he was able to do with his Claws. But this was more evolved then the Ground Spikes.
Shooting from the ground, the spikes emerged and impaled a few infected, but when Naruto pulled his hand out they sprayed small javelin like spikes in a radial effect. It was very amazing as many infected were skewered from the javelin.
Switching to his Whip Fist, he swung that around while ensuring that he got a few in a single swipe. Saeko and Hokuto too were doing everything they could. Saeko had fired a considerable amount of bio katanas at the infected while Hokuto had destroyed or ripped many infected apart from the horde of Necromorph she had summoned through her powers. But just as they were finishing up with the wave, they spotted more coming for them.
"Dammit. Will these things ever catch a break?" asked Naruto as he pulled his Claw out from a now dead infected.
"No idea." said the two girls as they hacked and slashed away.
"Naru-kun." came Saya's voice over the earpiece.
"Got some Warthogs coming in to fight. Lay ground co-ordinates for targeting. Patching you through." said Saya.
"Copy that." said Naruto as he was patched through to the Warthog's commanding pilot.
"Smoke Screen. This is Mist Hand. Lay ground co-ordiantes for targeting." said the pilot.
"Mist Hand. Fire mission: Danger close. Infected west of heat signature of the mall on the South side." said Naruto as he sliced another infected in half.
"Copy. Bringing the rain." said the pilot as the thunderous howl of the engines were heard in the back ground.
"Saeko-chan. Hoku-chan. The heat's coming. Make sure you're not caught in the fire." said Naruto.
"Got it." they said as the howl became houlder and louder.
In a thunderous clap the sounds of miniguns firing were heard as the Warthogs flew over the mall and emptied out on the infected. Shooting over head they circled around an building as they came in for another run. But one of the Jaggernauts would have none of it as it jumped up to one of the jets and destroyed the wing of the plane.
"Mayday mayday. Coming in hard!" said the pilot as he ejected out the plane.
Hokuto watched as the pilot landed perfectly on the roof while the plane with the Jaggernaut exploded as the plane hit a building.
"Dammit. Smoke Screen, we'll give you one more sweep. We're at bingo fuel." said the commanding pilot as the thunderous roar was heard over the skies as they came low for another run.
Giving their last run everything they had they shot off and had to retreat back to the air craft carrier.
"Dammit. Saya-chan. Patch me to the USS Echo Company." said Naruto over the earpiece.
"Copy that." said Saya as she did as her boy friend asked for.
"This is Kankuro." came the voice over Naruto's earpiece.
"Kankuro-san. We need more air support. How long until those choppers get here?" asked Naruto.
"They'll be there in a few minutes. Just hold on. You've got an AC-130 A Gunship inbound. Its already synced to see you and your friends as well...friends and the others as enemies." said Kankuro.
"Copy that. Patch me through." said Naruto.
"Ghost. This is Phantom. E.T.A. 60 seconds. Lay your targets." said the pilot of the AC-130 A.
"Phantom this Ghost. Fire mission: Danger close. Enemy infected converging on our position. Jaggernauts and Hunters in the mix. Cleared to use the 105 Howitzer. Weapons Free." said Naruto.
"Copy that beginning sweeping run." said the pilot.
"Everyone get back. Big fucking gun incoming." said Naruto to Saeko and Hokuto.
"Got it." said the two as the finished up just as the first shot hit the ground.
From their safe point they watched as the trio sprinted for their lives as a rain of shells hit the ground from above. But as the shockwaves came through, it tripped up Hokuto and caused Saeko to stumble.
Grabbing the two girls, Naruto sprinted with everything he had. But if nothing couldv'e gone wrong, something just had to happen at the worst time.
"Dammit. Screen's all buggered up. Sorry Ghost, you've got two calls to make. Let us go home and repair, or continue firing." said the pilot.
Naruto thought very long and hard about it. They didn't have the help of the Warthogs anymore as they were being refueled and if they lost the AC-130. They'd very much be dead before the choppers got there.
"Phantom. Weapons free. Fire on last known location." said Naruto.
"Copy that. Using last known location." said the pilot.
"What are you doing Naru-kun?" said Kyoko as she reloaded her rifle.
"Taking a gamble." replied Naruto as ordinates rained down blindly.
But as they neared the mall, they looked up to find an ordinate heading straight for them. Thinking fast, Naruto threw Saeko and Hokuto just as the ordinate hit him.
Both of them tumbled to the entrance of the mall as they looked to the crater of the ordinate that hit Naruto.
At that moment, the shuddering sounds of chopper blades were heard as the Black Hawks finally made it to the mall.
End song.
They had finally made it. Their saving grace was here at last. The infected had been defeated and they certainly wouldn't be coming back knowing that their attack had failed.
But as the choppers continued picking up the survivors. From the wreckage Naruto emerged, slowly crawling as Naruto's body slowly began to heal itself. That shell sure did a number on him as he winced in pain as he slowly drawled. Right now he only had an arm and a leg as his only limbs while half his back was still healing.
Saeko sprinted to Naruto along with Hokuto as they lifted him up and walked to the mall to get to the top floor. Reaching the mall they jumped and landed on the top very easily as the last Black Hawk landed and took them to the USS Echo Company.
They were taken to an Aircraft Carrier. There were many people aboard already as Black Hawks landed with everyone getting off and the Black Hawks going back to do more sweeps of finding survivors.
Naruto watched on from the chopper as his limbs finished being repaired. He couldn't believe that this was Konkuro's fleet. He had a strong feeling that Konkuro was Commander, but he had to know for certain.
The chopper landed and everyone got out. Walking towards them, medals adorning his chest as he wore a blue Navy shirt. Naruto smiled to the man he came to find as a man he could go to hell and back with without hesitation. Kankuro smiled to the man he too respected as he shook hands with Naruto.
"Hey there, Naruto-san. Looking good." said Kankuro as Naruto gave a slight chuckle.
"Yeah. Even though I look like ham and shit." said Naruto with Kankuro laughing.
"Yeah. I heard about what happened. But you can tell me later. Can you offer us your help?" asked Kankuro.
"I can. Though..." trailed Naruto looking over to his team and friends.
"I understand. You're probably very tired. Get some rest. We can talk about this tomorrow." said Kankuro as he walked off.
Walking back to his friends and girlfriends, Naruto was hugged by Saya as she wept into his chest. Naruto too smiled as he returned the hug she gave him.
"I'm so sorry. I hope you can forgive me." said Saya as she wept.
"I forgave you already. I will always be there for you." said Naruto as he ran his fingers along her slender spine.
"I am yours Naruto-kun. I will remain your forever." said Saya as she broke the hug but stayed in his arms.
"I know." said Naruto as he kissed her on the lips.
Saya moaned into the kiss as she threw her arms around him as she pressed her body against his. Naruto pulled her closer as he soon felt that she was getting extremely horny from the kiss. Breaking from the kiss while the others that loved Naruto really enjoyed the fact that Saya had made up with Naruto. But two voices invaded their senses as Naruto's blood began to boil along with Saeko's, Saya's and strange enough. Hokuto's as well.
"I'm so glad we made it Sasuke-kun." said the one voice.
"We will always survive. You and I, together." said the other voice as kissing sounds soon followed.
Naruto spun around while his eyes glazed over with hate as he spotted in the crowd 15 feet away, Hinata and Sasuke sucking off each other's face.
"Naruto?" asked Saya taking hold of his jacket's sleeve.
Turning to her while trying to restrain his rage, he watched in surprise as Saya smiled to him which was actually a very sadstic smile adorning her face.
"Go have fun." she said.
"Hoku-chan. Wanna join?" asked Naruto.
"Be a pleasure." said Hokuto as she walked with Naruto to the very woman who cheated on him.
And scene.
So Naruto has been reunited with with friends and girlfriends and also went and saved a large amount of people in the process. Kankuro has returned as a Commander and has also saved them by bringing them to his ship. And now he wishes for the help of Naruto.
But what is this? Hinata and Sasuke are on the boat as well? Naruto is going to have some very happy time with them. Heheheh hahahah.
