Note: Hey all, thank you all for giving the story a read. This is a re write of an old story I did a while back. I have grown as a writer, and I miss writing this story so please read and enjoy. This chapter is going to focus on setting the tone for the story and doesn't contain a lot of action. That will come in chapter two with some new Equipment being found in the Vault. This isn't a (Naruto gamer) story. There will be plenty of action and adventure I am open to suggestions and story ideas feel free to message me.

Enough about that enjoy the story.

He opened his blue eyes to see the frosty edges of a glass window. His body was numb and stiff it felt as if he was frozen. Slowly the frosty window thawed and revealed blue pods lined up, side by side in a metal platform. Each one containing its own individual wearing a Vault Tech jump suit. Slowly the pod door hissed open, slowly letting the warm air in to warm up his frozen body.

When the door raised up and fully opened, he fell out of the pod and landed on the metal grid floor. He shook his head trying to get rid of the dizziness he felt, his blond hair now dripping wet now it was fully unfrozen. He slowly stood up, after reaching his full height he arched his bag. Sighing in satisfaction as his muscles stretched and his bones popped.

He looked down to see his vault tech 001 jump suit that was completely dry by some miracle. "Ah that's right, we are in Vault 001 but why are we in pods... what happened". He was broken out of his thoughts when he heard coughing to his left, his eyes widened when he saw that the metal hallway, he was on contained at least one hundred of the blue pods on each side. Slowly people were leaving the pods in a similar way he did.

He slowly approached an elderly man on his left, he seemed to be doing fine besides dry coughing on his knees. "You okay there old timer" he managed to rasp out. Seems being frozen gave you a dry throat. He held the man by his arm and helped him to his feet. getting to his feet he ran a hand through his sleeked back grey hair. "Am not old ya punk am forty-five and still able to kick your ass" He grumbled.

The blond stepped back after the man stood up "wow sorry just wanted to lend a helping hand" he said putting his hands up. The man continued to grumble "Ah, you're a good kid sorry to be snippy with you, the names Richard and you are"? The blond looked in his back pocket to find his Vault ID card. He plucked it out of his pocket and showed it to the man. "Names Naruto, pleased to meet you". They quickly shook hands and gave each other a little nod.

Naruto looked around to see everyone now fully awake and talking among one another. Some looked confused at the situation, others looked scared, and some looked like they were ready to blow a fuse. "I don't know what happened and I don't know why we got frozen, but everyone looks a bit skittish, you would think the people at Vault tech would be here to help us. I mean the overseer should at least be here to greet us".

Richard was right someone should be explaining what's going on and where they go from here. "I don't know Richard but if someone doesn't give us an explanation soon there is gonna be a riot". As soon as the words left Naruto's mouth, they could hear some banging down the hall.

"Get the fuck off of me I gotta get out of here"!

They looked to see two men fighting on the floor. One man on top of the other pinning him to floor. "Chill out man it's gonna be okay, Vault Tech will come help us". The man on the bottom seemed distraught and struggled under the man's grip.

Richard and Naruto looked around and people began to grow restless, it seemed to sink in that Vault tech assistance where not here and they weren't going to show up soon. "It seems we are on our own Naruto. Everyone is getting scared, and I think shits gonna hit the fan". Naruto ran down the hall, squeezing past people on his way to what seemed to be the halls entrance. He stepped up the three metals grid stairs to get a better view of the now angry crowed of Vault dwellers.

"Vault tech should have been here by now."

"What we gonna do."

"Get away from me bitch"

"Where all gonna die in-"

BANG!

all the occupants of Vault 001 stopped their frantic behaviour and looked to the source of the gun shot that rattled the hall way. They looked toward the entrance to see Naruto holding a smoking 10mm pistol in the air. "What was I thinking, everyone is looking at me" his breath was ragged, he really did just shoot a gun in the air for the first time.

"Everyone keep calm" he began as he looked around the room, it looked as if he had everyone's attention. "I know your scared and you have every right to be, am scared too. Vault tech clearly isn't showing up so... so it looks like we are on our own". The crowed started to whisper to itself and hushed words danced across the crowed.

"Why did we get frozen."

"What do we do now"

"YEAH"

Naruto lifted his hands up to quiet down the crowed "I don't know why we were frozen, maybe it was to keep us safe during the Bomb strikes I don't know but what I do know Is. We gotta work together, Vault tech abandoned us but we can't abandon each other. We gotta work together to keep the human race goin because for all we know... we could be the last survivors",

That seemed to have stricken a cord in a lot of the people. Could they really be the last of humanity, reality seemed to dawn on them, and they knew what they had to do. "Each one of you have a Vault Dweller ID. On it is your housing information and job status. I suggest you go to your rooms and get ready for tomorrow because tomorrow... is a new day."

Naruto walked over to the double slide doors and pressed the red button on the side. They opened with a hiss and the Vault was now open to explore. "Come our new lives are ahead, we need to stick together and survive, you guys with me" People looked around one another and some nodded in agreement some even whispered "yeah."

Naruto shook his head "I said are you with me."

"YEAH"

"Are we gonna die down here."

"NO"

"Are we gonna survive."

"YEAH"

"Then let's go".

Naruto stood by the door and watched each person walk into the actual Vault of Vault 001. each person giving him their own form of appreciation. Some gave nods of acknowledgement some gave weak smiles. A family of four even shook his hand and voiced their thanks.

After all the Dwellers entered the vault, he was about to enter himself when Richard grabbed his shoulder and turned him around. "Gotta say am a little impressed kid" said Richard with a little grin. "Follow me" he said and directed Naruto into the Vault. As they traversed the halls of the Vault they could hear the hissing of sliding doors and exciting chatter as people settled into their rooms/homes.

"Where are you taking me Richard" asked a curios Naruto. The older man stopped in front of the medical ward widow and turned to him. "Before the Bombs hit, I was promoted to commander of the 25th company of the US army. I was charged with this Vaults security and defence". Naruto looked at the man with confusion "That's nice man but why you telling me".

Richard continued on his walk gesturing Naruto to follow. "Before we entered the Vault and got escorted to the Chryo pods. I along with a couple others such as the head of medical, engendering, science and so on got a tour of the Vault". They had just passed the dining hall and started to climb up a flight of stairs. They made it to Floor 4 Named (controls & overseer's Office)

"During the tour we not only seen the Vaults interior but met some personnel, some science guys from Vault tech some government officials and... the overseer". Naruto stopped and Richard kept on walking until he reached a door Signed "Overseer". "Wait so you're saying there is an Overseer or at least there was one".

Richard dialled in a code on a panel next to the door and it slowly opened to reveal an office room. In the centre there was a half-circle desk with a terminal on it, in the far corner there was a normal desk with a printer and filing cabinet and on the left wall there was a round window to view the three levels of Housing for the dwellers. Before entering he gestured Naruto to enter first. "yes, but its seems he up and left with Vault Tech".

The older man walked over to the window and looked at Dwellers walking along rails and entering their rooms. "Listen kid, these people are scared and to be honest so am I. We need to get things up and running here, get this Vault up and ready for us to survive". Naruto walked over to the man and looked out the window alongside him. "Your right Richard, I imagine you're the guy that's gonna run this place, being the commander and all"

Richard chuckled and shook his head. "Na am soldier not a president, I don't inspire or lead I bark out orders and commands. This Vault needs someone who is good with people, can give them hope and inspire them. they need someone smart". Naruto nodded and looked at the floor "yea your right but who is that".

"you"

was the simple reply from Richard. Naruto stepped back and shook his head "Na Richard your crazy I ain't a leader, why would you even think that". Richard stepped forward and grabbed the younger man by the shoulders. "Listen kid, you stood up in front of two hundred pissed off people and not only calmed them down but inspired them. You made them think of the future and our responsibility to keep the human race going."

Naruto looked out the window and frowned. "Damn man I don't know, me being in charge of all these people" Richard shook his grey head. "Damn kid you got this I mean you seem smart; you even knew how to get people settled in their rooms and if they got jobs or not. No one could have thought of that".

Naruto grinned "well all I did was read the Vault Dweller guide, all the info is there heh.

Richard had to sigh at the sheepish response "Regardless, you got my support kid... or should I say Mr Overseer sir". Richard waited patiently for Naruto's reply, he watched as the yellow head slowly walked over to the Desk and sat on the blue overseer's chair.

"Fine I will be the overseer."

Richard felt slightly better now. Things were getting a little better, the people where not as angry and they now had an Overseer. This could work. He walked to the front of the desk and stood to attention "What will your first order of overseer be then Sir". Naruto looked up at the man with amazement. He went from this laid-back guy to the military commander of the US government and now there Vault.

Naruto quickly responded "First order of business commander Richard is to gather some men and women and equip them with the means to not only guard the Vault from outside threats but keep the peace within the Vault. Get met a list of people who want to become part of the Guard".

Richard smiled "Anything else Sir" Naruto nodded "yes get all the head of departments in my office as soon as possible... that will be all". Richard saluted and marched out his office. As the door closed, he turned to his terminal and pressed the power button to power it up. The green screen lit up and in the centre it said, "Enter Password". Naruto grew nervous, how could he get into the main terminal now, he looked round the room frantically. His heart calmed down when he seen the password stuck to the top right corner of the terminal.

He plucked it off the screen and entered it into the terminal. "Cola" he shook his head and gave a chuckle. "Such a simple password for a very important computer". After pressing enter the screen changed into a menu section. He pressed the "Tasks" section, and it opened a things to do list for the Vault Dwellers. "Give Dwellers a pip boy". He selected the option; it would seem each dweller gets a pip boy. He checked the storage list and apparently, they had hundreds of the things.

He grabbed a pen and paper from the desk drawer and wrote down what he had to do tomorrow. He looked up from his writing when a group of people walked into his office, he noticed at the back of the group was Richard. They all lined up in front of him and Richard stood to his left. "These are the head of departments you asked to see Sir."

Naruto gave Richard a quick nod as thanks and looked to the four people in front of him. To the far right stood a black-haired woman of average height. She had a slender figure, her skin pale in contrast to her hair and stood with a hand on her hip. Naruto looked at the stack of folders Richard placed in front of him, he found a folder with the woman's picture and read her profile.

"I take it your Dr Elizabeth Rachael. You studied at Stanford Medical school and finished top of your class. Also did two years' work at UCLA medical centre. Impressive, it says on your folder you will be head of Medical and the chemistry lab".

The Woman now named Elisabeth gave a chuckle "it's a pleasure to meet the new Overseer, I will do my best". He looked to her left and seen a white portly bald fellow with a red cap on, where he got it was anyone's guess. "Names Philip Myers Sir, should say right there in that Folder that am head of botany and livestock". Naruto looked down at the folder and he was correct. "Seems you are Philip, says you're the owner of Nevada's biggest dairy farm. pleased to meet you."

The man seemed to be pleased with himself, if his crooked smile gave any indication. On Philip's left was a short Mexican man with black curly hair and a pencil moustache. "You must be Mark Garcia, wow says you cooked for the US Navy for two years then served as a Sous chef for the state president of California" Mark held his head up high and seemed to enjoy the look of amazement on Naruto's face.

"That's right sir I hope I can prove to be an excellent head of Food and storage" Naruto smiled and looked at the next folder. "Am sure you will Mark thank you". Finally, Naruto addressed the last member of the group. An elderly gentleman with ebony skin, grey balding hair on the back and sides of his head. He was slender and was a foot taller than Philip.

He pushed his thick black glasses up his nose and cleared his throat. "Dr Michael Christopher... it's a pleasure" The man seemed to be judging him, staring over him as if he was making a decision. Naruto quickly skimmed over his folder on the man. "The pleasure in mine Dr Christopher. Says here you have a PHD in physics from cow tech and a PHD in engineering from MIT as well as a master's in biology... safe to say am impressed".

The man ignored the praised and still looked at him with calculating eyes "Thank you...sir" Naruto leaned back into his chair and cleared his throat. "You're all probably wondering why I called you here". He watched as they all nodded. "Richard here has nominated me Overseer of Vault 001, so it appears I am in charge, but I wish to get your thoughts and opinions... do you think I should be Overseer".

The first to speak was Philip "I can speak for everyone here when I say it was amazing what you did, we was all freaking out til you calmed us all down and motivated us to move forward. Am with you son, I accept you as the overseer".

Elizabeth stepped forward once Philip had finished "I agree, I mean you took charge and if Richard thinks you're the man for the job I can't complain... as long as I run the medical centre my way". Naruto chuckled as she gave him a look that left no room for argument. "of course, run it as you see fit as long as everyone is healthy I don't care" she grinned in satisfaction and stood back in line. "I really don't care who is in charge as long as I have a bed to sleep on and I get to do my job. I approve of you being Overseer" came the quick reply from Mark. Naruto looked at Richard to see if he too had heard that. The man simply shrugged his shoulders. "Very well then, thank you Mark."

The last to make his opinion heard was Dr Christopher, he looked and as he guessed all eyes were on him. "I just have one question for you before I make my decision whether or not I approve of you being Overseer". Naruto looked the man in the eye before giving a quick nod. "What are your plans for this Vault and its people. What is the goal here".

Naruto stood up and walked over to the window to view the Vaults living quarters, it seemed everyone had gone to bed if the dimmed lights were any indication. "I plan to maintain order and peace in this Vault. To keep humanity alive and thriving for as long as I can. Maybe one day, once it's safe or if we are forced to... reclaim the world we lost by going to the surface".

He turned to face them. Philip was smiling like a fool; Mark gave a light smirk while Richard nodded in approval. Elizabeth seemed to send him a sultry smirk and a nod, all he was waiting on was Christopher. "What say you then Dr Christopher, will you help not only me but all of us rebuild humanity to what it once was". He now stood in front of the elderly man waiting for his response. The room was quiet, all waiting to see the outcome from Naruto's little speech.

Finally, the stony face of Christopher cracked a smile "Very well, I will fully support you as Overseer". He quickly grabbed Naruto's hand and shook it. Breaking the handshake Naruto sat down on his desk and looked at the group.

"Thank you all for the support, it will make things move easier. Richard you have your orders, gather those who are listed as Military or Guard and put them through training". The man saluted and with a quick "yes sir" he was off to do the task.

"For the rest of you work starts tomorrow, everyone will be going to their assigned sectors of work. It will be down to you to set them tasks and make sure your sectors are operational" He went to a supply box near the cabinet in the corner and pulled out four Mark five two thousand pip boys for each of them.

He tossed them the Vault Tech Device and watch them strap it to their wrists. When they were done he handed them each a holotape. "Here on each one of these is the data you will need, it contains your job descriptions and tasks needed to carry out for your sectors, they also give you access to areas others are not permitted to go to".

They all looked to be understanding what he had just said so he continued. "Once again thank you all. Read your profiles and get some sleep. We have a lot to do tomorrow, I was thinking of speaking to everyone in the dining hall and handing out Pip Boys, then I will send them off to your sectors where you will give them their jobs".

Christopher nodded in agreement "yes its best we head to the sectors first and make sure things are operational, we will be ready and waiting". Naruto looked to the other three and they seemed to agree "Very well you may go". He watched as they turned their back on him and strolled out of his office, his eyes lingered on Elizabeth's shapely back side until they were out of view.

He once again walked over to the box by the cabinet and grabbed his own Pip boy. As he was strapping it on, he walked over to his desk and sat on the Overseer chair. Once the Pip boy was on his wrist, he opened his desk draw and found the Holotape labelled Overseer. He plugged it into the bottom of his Pip boy and waited to see the Data it contained.

He watched as the letters slowly filled his Pip Boy. He found a category called "Vault Tech". He selected it and once again his screen became full of writing. His eyes danced across the letters and each word made his eyes grow wider. "Vault 001 experiment initiate, leave Dwellers alone in Vault 001 to see how strangers function waking up after a prolonged chryo status.../;;;/ expectation 1:form a society/stable government/ 2:go wild & fight over resources and dominance.../;;;/ Experiment approved by President E"

He couldn't believe this, all the Dwellers in Vault 001 himself included where nothing but test subject for Vault Tech and President E. whoever that was. One thing was for sure Vault Tech where not their friends and they were on their own for real. They very well could come back and who knows what they could do. Anger flooded his veins, and he couldn't help but grind his now sharp canine teeth. "Vault tech, we will be ready for you" he whispered with hate as he looked up from his Pip Boy with now red eyes.
