Hello all Storm here with a new chapter! Here we'll be seeing the aftermath of Naruto getting bit by the spider and the changes he'll now be going through as a result, but not all of the changes being good. So, without further ado.
I own nothing
"Do you care to repeat that, Stockman?" Said Oroku Saki, CEO and Founder of Saki International, while narrowing his eyes at the image of his scientists, Baxter Stockman, over the video phone.
Saki is a tall, Japanese man with slicked back black hair that had a blue tint, fair skin, and narrow, intimidating brown eyes. With him wearing a dark grey business suit consisting of black dress shoes, grey dress pants, a white button-up shirt, a black tie, and a grey jacket.
While Baxter Stockman is an adult man with dark skin, short black hair that's flat at the top, and brown eyes with. With his attire consisting of maroon loafers, navy blue dress pants, a white button-up shirt, a dark blue tie, and a white lab coat over it.
With Stockman having come under Saki's employ after he'd bought out his company, Stocktronics Corporation, due to the advancement they've made in robotics. Advancements that Saki knew would be useful for several of his own projects. While Stockman was made one of his leading scientists due to his intelligence being an added benefit for his company.
"As I said sir, I've just received word from Ouroboros Labs about an incident involving one of the children visiting there on a field trip. One of the spiders being worked on in Project Chimera was able to escape, and it ended up biting one of the students." Stockman repeated, with Saki narrowing his eyes and clenching his fists in annoyance.
"Is the child dead?" Saki asked, knowing how much of a problem it'd be if a child died on his company's property.
"Surprisingly, no. Even with the radiation testing we've done on the spiders, the boy is still alive, unconscious and currently in the hospital, but very much alive. It's actually rather fascinating, the spider was one of the ones that's been spliced with multiple strands of different spider DNA, and the radiation alone would kill a person three times the boy's age." Said Stockman, intrigued at how anyone could survive something that'd kill anyone else.
"Whether the boy is alive or not is inconsequential. Just see to it that he and his family are suitably compensated for this unfortunate accident. As for the scientists involved in this mess, see that they're fired and silenced." Said Saki, not really caring about the boy, but it's mostly for the PR to show how "apologetic" he is that such a thing happened in one of his divisions.
What he really wanted was to make sure all the fools involved in this mess dealt with and silenced for their incompetence. Not only letting one of the spiders get out, but that it could've caused a much bigger incident if it wasn't handled quickly enough.
"I'll see it done, right away." Stockman replied before Saki ended the call and turned around in his chair to looked his office window.
'I refuse to have everything I've built be brought down because of human incompetence. I've worked too long and too hard gaining control of this city to have it all be made meaningless. Certainly not by fools that can't even do their job properly, or anything else.' Saki thought, while narrowing his eyes towards the Empire State Building.
Yes, he had no intentions of letting anyone or anything get in his way, no police, no government, and certainly no so-called deities.
*With Naruto*
"Where…am I?" Naruto muttered as he's laying down on the ground and looking up at the dark sky.
"It's…night?" Said Naruto in confusion, having sworn that it was still the middle of the day.
"It's alright my darling. You've been asleep for a while now." A female voice said, making Naruto tilt his head up, realizing his head was laid out on someone's lap.
Though he couldn't make out any of the woman's features, the only thing could see the kind smile on her face along with feeling her fingers running through his hair.
"Who are…" Said Naruto, feeling himself relaxing under her touch, along with feeling like it was familiar.
"You don't have to worry little one, mother is here to keep you safe now." Cooed the woman softly, surprising the whiskered blonde.
"Kaa…san?" Naruto asked, hopefully that it actually is his mother, with the woman's smile growing.
"Yes, Kaa-san is here and she'll keep you safe. You don't have to be afraid anymore, just relax in mothers embrace~." The woman said, while Naruto's eyes slowly closed.
The Uzumaki missing the woman's mouth opening slightly, revealing short fangs, or how her eyes starting glowing, illuminating the spiderweb pattern in her grey irises. Or that he was really laying on top of a massive spiderweb.
Naruto only being able to relax, feeling happy at being with his mother again.
*Real World*
Opening his eyes, Naruto found himself in a room he didn't recognize, only to look around and realize he's in a hospital room, along with recognizing it as being the hospital his grandmother works at.
'It was just a dream.' Naruto thought, saddened that it wasn't really and remembering that his parents are dead.
Before he began remembering what happened, the field trip, seeing Project Chimera, all the spiders, and then suddenly feeling something biting his neck. This causing the whiskered blonde to shoot up and touch his neck where he felt himself be bit. Only to frown when he barely felt anything, as if the bite was already healing.
'What even bit me? It felt like…like a spider? Did one of the spiders get out, somehow?' Thought Naruto in worry that one of those spiders could've gotten out and bit him.
Though before he could think more on it, Naruto's attention turned towards the door when it opened and his grandparents walked in, looking at him in surprise and relief.
"Oh thank goodness, you're alright!" Tsunade said, rushing over and hugging Naruto, with Jiraiya going over as well and patting him on the head.
"We got a call about what happened at the labs and rushed over as soon as we could, bringing you here. Tsunade's been running every test she can to make sure you're alright." Said Jiraiya, confusing the whiskered blonde a little.
"Really? I…I don't feel anything wrong; I feel fine actually." Naruto replied, realizing that he didn't actually feel bad.
"Well, you shouldn't! You were bit by a spider exposed to radiation and who knows what else! It's a miracle you're even still alive right now! And those idiots over there…" Said Tsunade, trailing off and scowling in anger, not believing they couldn't even notice a spider escaping whatever testing area it was kept in.
"Take it easy, Tsunade, if the kid says he's fine then I'm sure he's fine. And let's just be glad he is still alive too." Jiraiya said reassuringly, with the woman scoffing and crossing her arms.
"I'll take it easy, when I make sure our grandson doesn't start suddenly growing extra limbs or losing the ones he has." Tsunade retorted.
"So how long have I been here? And have you two been here the entire time?" Naruto asked, not wanting his grandmother to start going on a rant or making threats like she's done before.
"Just a couple of hours, you've been unconscious the rest of the day and most of the night. And Tsunade's been here the entire time, making sure you were alright while I've stopped by a few times." Replied Jiraiya.
"We were going to come check on you earlier, but an old "friend" stopped by after hearing what happened." Tsunade added, saying "friend" sarcastically, with Naruto nodding slowly.
"So…if I'm alright, can I leave then?" Said Naruto, eager to leave the hospital now that he's awake and feels perfectly fine.
"Absolutely no-" Said Tsunade, intending to keep him here until she's sure that nothing will happen.
"Sure kid, if you're really alright we can head home, now." Jiraiya said, much to Naruto's relief before he quickly got out of the hospital bed.
While Tsunade narrowed her eyes at her husband, making Jiraiya gulp and knew he'd be getting an earful later, and would likely be on the couch for a couple of days now.
*Timeskip-One Day*
After returning home, Naruto had immediately gone up to his room and collapsed on his bed, not even bothering to change his clothes, still feeling tired and exhausted from what happened.
Though the next morning his alarm clock soon began beeping, only for the Uzumaki to suddenly shoot awake the second it went off. Slamming his fist down on top of the snooze button, with the clock immediately being crushed under his fist.
'Stupid clock.' Thought Naruto as he laid down to go back to sleep, happy that he won't have to deal with the alarm, anymore.
With it taking a few moments for what just happened to register, making Naruto's eyes snap open and slowly turned his towards the now destroyed clock.
"What the…" Naruto muttered, looking at the clock in disbelief before looking at his hand, being further shocked to see it wasn't even scratched.
Looking between the clock's remains and his hand for a few moments, Naruto closed his eyes and slowly shook his head before getting out of bed. Taking off his clothes from yesterday, he went over to his dresser and began pulling out some clean clothes. But when he tried removing his hand from the drawer, Naruto frowned when he found he couldn't take his hand off, like it was glued on.
Shaking his arm a few times to try and free his hand, Naruto grunted as he pulled as hard as he could to pry his hand off the drawer. Only to quickly duck when the drawer was ripped out of the dresser and went flying against the wall, where it broke. The whiskered blonde slowly stood back up with wide eyes, not believing what just happened. Before he jumped when he heard a knocking at his door.
"Naruto! Are you alright?! I just heard a crash!" Said Tsunade, making Naruto panic as he looked at the destroyed clock and drawer.
"Uh, yeah! Yeah I'm fine granny, I just fell out of bed!" Naruto replied, not wanting to freak out his grandparents, especially after what happened.
Not doubting his grandmother would personally drag him to the hospital and never let him leave until she found out what happened to him.
"You sure?! If you fell did you need anything?!" Tsunade asked, with Naruto quickly nodding despite how she couldn't see him.
"Perfectly fine! Please don't come in, since I'm getting changed now!" Said Naruto, relieved when she didn't try making a move to enter the room.
"Okay, then hurry up and get ready, you still need to get to school." Said Tsunade before Naruto heard her footsteps retreating
'That was close.' Naruto thought sighing in relief before heading to his bathroom.
But just before he grabbed the handle, the Uzumaki paused and glanced back at his destroyed clock and drawer, then looked back at the handle. Rather than grab it with his hand, he carefully put two fingers around it and slowly turned the handle, sighing in relief it didn't break.
'Okay, at least I don't-' Naruto thought, glad he can at least still touch things without accidently breaking them, only to freeze when he heard a snapping sound
'Please, please, please, please, please.' Thought Naruto closing his eyes and hoping it wasn't what he thought it was, before he looked down.
Seeing it's exactly what he thought as the door handle was stuck to his fingers, before it fell to the ground, making Naruto sigh.
'I'm so screwed.' Naruto thought, not sure how he's supposed to make it through the day if he either breaks everything he touches or somehow sticks to everything he touches.
*Later*
Luckily, Naruto was able to carefully get cleaned up and dressed without any further incident of breaking or sticking to anything. Forcing himself to just not think about what happened, hoping that it'd help prevent anything else from happening. With it thankfully working as he was able to finish and get to school without another incident.
Eventually succeeding in really putting what happened in the back of his mind rather than just trying to ignore it, and focus on going about his day without worry. Though he did get more than a few looks from some of the other students, given what happened on the field trip. Figuring that getting bit by a radioactive spider and taken to the hospital would get some attention. But other than that, nothing out of the ordinary had happened, much to the whiskered blonde's relief.
Now though, Naruto was outside during recess and just finishing up his lunch before going to head back inside. Only to suddenly stop and tense, when he felt a strange tingling sensation in the back of his head, as if something was telling him he's in danger. Before he was shocked when he turned around, catching a soccer ball that would've hit the back of his head.
'How did I…' Naruto thought in disbelief at how his body seemingly moved on its own, along with knowing the ball was coming at him.
"Hey Fox Boy!" Said Hibachi as he and his three friends went up to the Uzumaki, glaring at him, with Naruto mentally cursing before glancing around.
"Don't bother hoping Jackson will come and save you, this time." One of the bullies said.
"Yeah, that freak got expelled for attacking us for no reason." Another added tauntingly, making Naruto frown at hearing this.
"Only because you all attacked me, first." Naruto retorted, not liking that Percy ended up getting expelled just for helping him.
"And who was gonna believe some troublemaker over the four us? It's not like you'd do anything, anyway! Besides taking it like the wimp you are!" Said the third bully, making the four laugh while the whiskered blonde scowled.
Before they were immediately silenced when Naruto threw the soccer ball at the first bully, with it slamming right in his stomach and knocking him to the ground gasping for air. Much to Hibachi's and the other twos shock, as well as the other students outside.
"Sorry did that hurt? I only know how to throw dodgeballs." Naruto said with a taunting smirk, making Hibachi scowl in anger.
"You're dead loser!" Said Hibachi, charging Naruto and with his fist pulled back, while Naruto once again felt the strange tingling sensation in the back of his head.
Allowing the Uzumaki to react before Hibachi even finished throwing his punch, leaning to the side and dodging. Before dodging the next punch leaning to the other side, with the punch after that seemed like it was going on slow motion.
'Woah.' Thought Naruto, moving to the side and completely dodging the attack, as everything seemed to speed up again.
With Hibachi giving a shout and just charging Naruto with his arm held out, only for the Uzumaki to once again succeed in dodging as he bent all the way back. Far enough to see the stunned faces of the forming crowd around them, before he stood up straight and faced Hibachi. Naruto slowly raised his fists in case he tried attacking again, only to feel the tingling again. Leading to the whiskered blonde jumping high up in the air and backflipping over the other two bullies, much to their shock.
None of them able to believe what just happened as Naruto landed on his feet behind the two, smirking as he grabbed them by their collars.
"Didn't anyone ever tell you to watch your backs." Naruto stated before slamming their heads together, sending them to the ground groaning in pain.
Naruto's attention then turned back to Hibachi when he charged him again, throwing wild punches in the hopes to hit him at least once. Only for Naruto to rapidly dodge each punch without so much as being grazed by one. Before he raised his arms, blocking Hibachi's next two punches from either side, grabbing his arm when he tried throwing another punch. With the Uzumaki now glaring at the bully and slowly twisting his arm, making Hibachi groan in pain at the pressure on his wrist.
Until Naruto pulled his fist back and slammed it right into Hibachi's face, sending him flying back, the crowd parting to avoid getting hit. The bully crying out as he hit the ground and held his face, with blood leaking out of his nose.
"AH! You psycho! What's wrong with you?!" Hibachi yelled, not believing what just happened.
"Uh, you attacked me first, I was just defending myself. I guess you're used to picking on preschoolers if you never had an actual fight before, huh?" Naruto said tauntingly as the other bullies picked themselves looking at him in panic and fear.
"You really are a freak, Uzumaki! Let's get out of here!" Said one of the bullies as they ran away, making the other students cheer at seeing someone finally stand up to Hibachi and his lackeys.
Naruto though froze as the realization slowly dawned on him at what just happened and what he just did, wiping away any enjoyment at finally standing up for himself. Making him look around, seeing that while some of the students were happy at seeing the bullies taken down. Others were looking at him with disbelief, wariness, or even fear.
Leading to Naruto simply making a run for it, not sure what else to do than run from school and try to find someplace where he could think and try to figure out what's happening. All while not even realizing just how fast he was now running or succeeding in avoiding anyone or anything in his way, without really looking at where he was going.
Before he soon stopped and ran down an alleyway, panting lightly as he leaned against the wall, looking at his hands in disbelief and confusion.
'How did I do any of that?' Thought Naruto, unable to understand anything that's happened today.
Breaking his alarm clock like it was nothing, sticking to his dresser drawer and yanking it out, breaking the doorknob off when he was barely touching it. Now at school, somehow sensing that soccer ball was coming at him, throwing it hard enough to knock down one of the bullies. Dodging all of Hibachi's attacks before they could reach him, jumping nearly eight feet in the air and backflipping. And then punching Hibachi hard enough to send him flying back and break his nose.
None of it made any sense to the whiskered blonde, all of it seeming like something out of a comic book or even that soldier guy he's read about from World War II.
Though before he could think further on it, Naruto paused and looked up at a fire escape, somehow being able to notice a spiderweb and a spider crawling along it. With realization soon dawning on the Uzumaki at why exactly and how this was happening.
'The…spider bite?' Thought Naruto, looking at his hands, wondering how getting bit by a radioactive spider could suddenly make him super strong, sticky, and aware of any danger to him.
'Wait…' Naruto thought while looking up at the building, then at his hands again, slowly getting an idea to try something.
Before Naruto approached the wall and placed his hand on it, then putting his other one, finding both his hands were stuck to the wall. Only to grunt as a few times as he couldn't move them, only to be shocked when he accidently ripped out part of the bricks in the wall.
'Okay, okay, no trying to just force myself to not stick. Maybe…maybe I just need to relax and let it happen.' Thought Naruto, taking a few deep breaths to relax himself, smiling when the brick pieces fell off his fingers.
Trying again, Naruto placed his hands on the wall, smiling in amazement as he slowly removed one and placed it higher on the wall. Soon placing his feet on the wall, not actually believing it, but also amazed as he began crawling up the wall like it was the most natural thing in the world. It wasn't long before Naruto soon reached the top of the building and pulled himself up to the roof.
Looking down, the Uzumaki smiled in excitement at how far he climbed up off the ground before he looked at the neighboring building. Unable to resist trying, Naruto backed up from the ledge before he immediately ran towards it. Jumping up and over to the next roof, much to his growing excitement.
Not stopping there, Naruto kept running and jumping across rooftops, crying out in amazement at what he's doing, unable to believe this was really happening. Only for his excitement to suddenly be cut short when he jumped onto the next roof, only to end up landing on a sky window and crash right through it. Making Naruto now cry out in shock and panic, only to grunt and groan in pain when he landed on the ground.
"Couldn't warn me about that…you stupid tingle." Naruto muttered before he picked himself up, only to see how far he fell and realized the fall would have killed him, if not broken several bones.
Instead the most he felt was sore, making him smile slightly again at seeing he's not just stronger and faster, but also a lot tougher as well. Before he noticed the building he crashed into, seeing it's an abandoned gym still filled with equipment, with him having landed in a boxing ring, making his smile grow.
'Let's see what else I can do.' Thought Naruto, getting out the ring and went over to the equipment, eager to see what other powers he has.
"I don't know how it could happen. Being bit by a radioactive spider and suddenly I have superpowers, it all felt so unreal. But it was real, whatever that spider bite did to me, it made me into something else. I was stronger than anything I've seen before."
Naruto grunted a little as he grabbed a large set of weights and slowly lifted it up into the air, grinning when he lifted it over his head. Even better when he slowly moved it and held it up above by one of the ends, while not feeling the least bit tired or strained.
"I could move faster and my body reacted to anything before I could even think it."
Running around the gym, Naruto flipped, ducked, slid, and jumped over anything in his way, sometimes not even needing to look at something to avoid it.
"I could perform like an acrobat and bend my body like it was elastic."
Releasing a breath, Naruto jumped up and grabbed horizontal bar, flipping around it several times until he came to a stop completely upside down. The Uzumaki grinned as he slowly removed one of his hands from the bar, yet didn't so much as wobble. Until he let himself fall, spinning around the bar once more before letting go, flipping and twisting in the air as he landed on his feet.
"And I could stick to any surface, moving along it like it's the floor."
Naruto crawled up the wall and the ceiling of the gym, getting better at making himself stick and unstick from any surface.
"It felt like I had all the power in the world, and at the time, I really believed it too. Who would've thought a single spider bite could lead to something so incredible. But…what happens when a ten-year-old kid that's been bullied and treated as a social outcast, suddenly gains super powers? I'll tell you what happens…"
Smirking, Naruto grabbed one of the heaviest weight plates, balancing the edge of it on the tip of his finger and began spinning it around. Chuckling at how easy it was for him to lift something that most adults would have trouble moving. Before he then suddenly grabbed it and threw the plate into one of the gyms pillars, where it embedded itself in the concrete.
"…I got drunk off of it. And that…that lead to a lot of mistakes."
So, what did you think, good. Yep we first see Oroku Saki being informed of what happened at Ouroboros Labs by Baxter Stockman, keeping up the persona of a businessman by having compensation sent to Naruto and his family, as well as showing he knows more about things than he should. Before then going to Naruto in a dream with his "mother", not knowing who it really is or that he's now becoming on her children, only believing it's his real mother.
Then we see Naruto waking up in the hospital with his grandparents showing up to check on him, after meeting an old "friend", with Naruto learning how long he's been unconscious and is eager to get out of the hospital. Then we get a small timeskip to the next day where Naruto wakes up only to start discovering some new changes to himself, namely sticking to things and being a lot stronger, as well as being able to sense danger at school, allowing him to deal with Hibachi and his followers.
Finally we see Naruto realizing what happened to him, that the spider somehow changed his body, and begins testing out his new powers and what else he can do. While some more narrations shows that while Naruto has gained some amazing new abilities, gaining that kind of power isn't always a good thing, especially for someone that's never had any power before, which Naruto will soon learn but not before making several mistakes. So, for those that like the story, thanks for your support. For those that don't or at least don't like the direction taken, you're more than welcomed to drop the story. But thanks for giving the story a chance anyway.
