Hello.
How's life? Superb? That is wonderful to hear.
Unfortunately, as you all know, last chapter didn't have much plot progression because it was mostly about setting in the kind of mood, history and interactions that our favorite and weakened shinobi created in this world.
This chapter should be more plot focused, though speaking of plot…
Last chapter, I mentioned that this story would mostly follow canon, well… I decided to do me and not let that happen, it will sort of follow canon but it also won't. You'll see.
Hope y'all enjoy and let's begin.
Start:
It started with fear.
Tendrils of the ancient and primal emotion, slithered and moved with purpose, brushing against his heart and bringing about the unpleasant thoughts that he tried to force away about whether Shizuka Marikawa was alive or not.
Naruto Uzumaki wasn't a fearful person by nature.
Even before his unexpected arrival in this world, there was hardly anything that terrified him back in the elemental nation, the short list of things that scared him only became shorter once he was here.
And it was expected really, when one had the power to absolutely destroy a meteor of all things, there was not much that could scare that person. (Even though that was no longer the case.)
But now…
Having reached the nurse's office nearly thirty minutes ago. Naruto was both dismayed and simultaneously relieved to find his closest friend in the world not holed up in her office.
Seeing the broken windows, the absent medicine, the corpses and blood that littered the floor… It filled Naruto with a sense of deep apprehension that he thought he could never experience again.
He swiftly moved past the horrified Kyoko, prompting her to follow him and pulling out a combat knife from under his sleeve, killing whatever zombie that got too close to them, attracted by the noise of Kyoko's heels thudding the floor, not paying any heed to the shock and slight wariness of his teacher as he searched around every hallway and in every classroom for the woman who he owed an unpayable debt.
The tendrils of fear, already wrapped so meticulously around his heart, constricted painfully, squeezing with increasingly intense pressure as time itself stretched apart.
As the seconds dragged into minutes, Naruto only grew to find himself more frustrated and panicked over his failure and incapability to locate Shizuka. The fear in him growing, cultivating, until it evolved.
To become terror.
That was the feeling that was running down his veins. Terror.
"Uzumaki-Kun, are you alright?" An admittedly stupid question to ask in a zombie apocalypse but Kyoko couldn't help but blurt out her concern, no longer capable of remaining quiet after noticing for quite a while how her most troublesome student was unusually quiet and serious.
"I'm al-" A scream pierced the hallway, interrupting Naruto who reacted swiftly by picking up Kyoko bridal side, ignoring her protests before he dashed in the direction of the shriek.
"Get away! Get away!" The screams, female in nature, grew increasingly louder as the former shinobi sprinted with impressive speed, turning the next corner and spotting the zombie closing in on the pink-haired girl shuffling backwards on the floor.
Naruto unceremoniously placed Kyoko on the floor before he pulled out his combat knife, flicked his wrist and let go of his grip, watching intently as the sharp blade flew in the air before impaling and finding a temporary home inside the back of the zombie's head.
"AAAHHHAHAHHHHHH!" Naruto barely managed to rein in the urge to roll his eyes as the same pink haired woman he saved, proceeded to scream her lungs out as the zombie slumped before falling down on her chest.
His eyes trained in on the four other groaning forms of the undead, enticed by the fetching sounds of the glasses wearing broad who finally zipped her mouth shut.
Fortunately, her scream signaled like a beacon to other survivors of their location and Naruto watched, relieved as he ran alongside Kyoko, as the form of the woman he was looking for came into view.
Shoving all feelings and thoughts to the side, Naruto pulled out a second knife from within his sleeve before slicing the nape of the closest zombie around, returning it back to his sleeve after he took note of the three other undead already taken care of courtesy of Saeko, an orange-brown haired, spear wielding girl, and a guy with a bat. 'Well ain't that swell.' He thought sarcastically.
Walking slowly to the pink haired woman, Saya if he remembered correctly, he ignored her trembling form along with all the other looks of wariness and distrust from the others as he knelt down, removing the knife lodged in the back of the zombie he killed before wiping the blood away with his sleeve.
Standing up, Naruto ignored the crying form of Saya, now comforted by Saeko, locking eyes with the visibly happy but worried Shizuka and exhaling in relief as all the terror wound up inside him dissipated within seconds.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
It was twenty minutes later, holed up in the large room, that Naruto finally allowed himself to really relax as he quietly pondered on the recent turn of events.
Looking at the matter analytically, the fact that not even a single police officer had investigated the school meant that their hands were full. And considering how quickly the situation deteriorated with going from one walking corpse to hundreds…
There were no two ways about it, the city and probably even the whole country was already infected!
'And maybe even the world.' Naruto grimaced at the thought.
If the situation wasn't so dire and grim, Naruto might have been impressed at how quickly this disease spread. Considering before today, none, including himself, thought the world would now be also compromising of the undead.
Turning on the faucet, he wiped away any residual marks of blood on his hands and visage, eyes darting to the bite wound on his wrist and letting out a short laugh of relief as the scar was already beginning to fade.
Naruto was almost certain that he would be alright, not having access to his chakra anymore didn't mean his body's natural vitality would decrease. But of course, there was no way to know for certain until later on after he was put through the circumstances of getting bitten.
And fortunately, his body came through like he predicted.
Though speaking of fortunate, Naruto muttered a quick prayer of gratitude to God as his nerves really were set to fry with how much he fretted and worried about Shizuka.
It had been a long time since he had begun to panic and feel terror like he had over twenty minutes ago. Seeing her alive and without any bite marks helped put his heart at ease.
Was a bit of a shame that he didn't really get the chance to privately speak to her but the shinobi was patient.
Exiting the washroom, the sound of talking reached his ears and Naruto walked over to the group, exchanging a nod with Kyoko before he stopped to stand alongside Shizuka.
Saya closed her eyes in silent frustration. "Medical logic doesn't apply to corpses that move around and attack humans, worst case they might never decompose." Decompose? He was confused.
"First thing's first, we find out if our families are okay, then we must find a safe place to hold up for a while." Saeko stated.
"Safe place…" Naruto uttered the syllables slowly, dragging everyone's attention to him while he turned to his favorite nurse. "Shizuka-Chan, you don't think that purple haired friend of yours will mind too much if we went to her place and also borrowed some of her stuff."
Shizuka blinked. "Rika? No, I'm pretty sure she wouldn't mind, in fact I'd imagine she'd want us to go and also put her weapons to good use."
Rei narrowed her eyes in suspicion towards the relationship the two blondes seemed to share. She opened her mouth only to close it as Takashi spoke up. "Weapons? What kind of friend do you have Shizuka-sensei?"
"Oh, Rika's the best." Shizuka gushed happily, a cheerful smile etched on her features. "She's from the military and she has a lot of weapons that she stores in her apartment. I have a spare key she gave me as she is usually away and it was up to me and Naruto-Kun to clean up the place."
"Okay! What kind of relationship do you have with this delinquent!?" Rei could not hold back from asking, her curiosity shared and matched by the other occupants of the room as they stared curiously and suspiciously at the duo.
Even Saeko who had been around the pair, failed to understand the dynamic between them and wanted to know for quite some time.
Inwardly grinning mischievously. Naruto decided to answer that question before Shizuka could respond. "If you really must know… we're secret lovers." He said with utmost seriousness.
…
…
"Nani!"
Naruto winced and covered his ears as Rei, Kyoko, and Saya bellowed their confusion. Muttering another prayer of gratitude that the room they were in was soundproof.
Why? He had no idea and frankly, he didn't care.
His eyes flitted across the rest and he could see Takashi and Kouta as he learned their names, gushing out blood from their nostrils while nodding approvingly at him. Saeko was the only one who didn't believe him it seemed.
Quite expected as she was a regular victim of his pranking and was well aware of his mischievous nature.
Though he knew it was a bad idea, Naruto could not help himself from expanding upon this fun and harmless prank. "Me and Shizuka-Chan even had a go today, she likes taking it in the rear."
Interestingly enough, the fountains of blood that spurted from the nose and drenched the room emerged not only from Kouta and Takashi, but from Rei and Kyoko as well who had massive blushes of their own on their features.
Even Saeko and Saya were blushing.
Suddenly, Naruto's danger sense went haywire. He shivered as the hair on his arms stood to attention.
A positively evil giggle rang from behind him and Naruto gulped before he slowly turned around and wished he hadn't. Shizuka smiled brightly, too brightly, eyes closed as her shoulders shook in what was either supposed to be mirth or fury.
Bam!
It was fury. Naruto realized that the hard way as he nursed the comically large bruise on his head, wincing as he held his head and sent her an annoyed stare.
Shizuka scowled and cracked her knuckles. She looked menacing… or to be more accurate, would have looked menacing if not for the fact that her face was drowned in a mesmerizing shade of a red rose. "That's not funny Naruto-Kun."
The ex-shinobi pouted. "I disagree."
"W-" "Look, we do not have time for this! What we need to do is take the keys to one of the buses, get out of here, go to Shizuka-Sensei's friend's place, and get some weapons to defend ourselves." Saya interrupted furiously, returning the tense atmosphere to the group.
"While I would have been kinder with the tone, it doesn't change the fact that Takagi-San is right." Kyoko spoke up, the blush fading away as she rummaged through the drawers before finding the key to one of the buses. "So let's not waste any precious time, we can't afford to in this perilous situation."
Naruto looked around, seeing everyone puff up their chest in determination had him wondering if he was in some sort of anime. The synchronous reaction was too much.
Well… if he really was in an anime, now would be his moment to shine. "Alright, listen up losers." Seeing the unhappy look in the face of his most favorite person in the world, he added. "Except you Shizuka-Chan, you're awesome." Shizuka blushed before giggling lightly at Naruto's charm. "Our goal is to reach the school bus and get out of here."
"We can go guns blazing even if we have no guns but there are only God knows how many zombies out there, our best approach is stealth, so minimize the noise and be quiet." He ordered.
"I'm sorry, and who made you boss you delinquent?" Rei looked at him challengingly, loathing the idea of having to follow the leadership of Naruto Uzumaki of all people.
Takashi, Hirano, and Saya shared uneasy looks while both Shizuka and Kyoko looked conflicted. Only Saeko seemed unbothered by his desire for leadership.
He sent her an unimpressed look. "Me. Now unless you want itching powder stuffed down your gullet and green hot peppers strapped to your nostrils via tape, I suggest getting used to me taking charge. Understood." He raised his voice a little at the end.
Rei paled and nodded her head rapidly. She may have detested the idea of Naruto leading them but she detested being a victim of his brutal pranks even more.
"Wonderful." Naruto clapped his palms together before sending a cheerful smile towards his fellow students. "I trust you all don't have an issue?"
The answer to his question arrived in the form of feverous shakes of the head and nervous smiles.
"Good, then let's get out of here." Naruto declared as he slid the door open, stepping out into the empty hallway before he looked over his shoulder at his group. "Alright, here's the formation, triple-chin-kun." Naruto said while pointing at a visibly depressed Kouta. "You're out front, put your skills with that weapon to good use."
"Hai sir." Kouta saluted him, his sadness disappearing as quickly as it appeared as he moved forward.
Turning to Takashi and Rei, his lips quirked into a normal, yet scary grin. "Rotten cheese burger, Annoying orange. You two will be together on the left side of the formation." Naruto ignored the growls and clenched teeth from the duo as his eyes descended on his second most favorite person in the world. "Saeko-Chan."
Despite her greatest efforts, Saeko felt her lips get tugged into a smile. "Yes Naruto?"
"Be a dear and guard the right side."
She nodded and moved in position.
"Shizuka-Chan, Kyoko-Chan, and howler monkey, seeing as you three are not the fighters in our group, you three will be in the middle while I guard our rear."
Without fuss, they went into the center, Saya mumbling curses as she glared at the shinobi who didn't even notice her ire. "Before we begin, is there anything relevant that any of us need to know?"
"They react only to sounds." Saya declared.
"They each individually have the strength to break down a door so avoid getting caught in their hold." Saeko added.
"Good to know." Naruto nodded at both of them. "Although that sound theory will be needed to be tested out, there is no harm in being silent and stealthy. Now with that out of the way, let's get moving."
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
'This has just become ten times harder.' Naruto idly mused as another group, one they had saved, joined them.
Survival of the fittest he supposed.
As Naruto brushed past the door, the metal weapon of one of the male members from the other group carried, banged lightly against the rails of the stairs, generating a loud echoing sound heard across the entire school campus.
On cue, every zombie appeared and Naruto flamboyantly gave the man responsible the middle finger.
"RUNNNNNNNN!" Takashi bellowed as he dashed forward, his form flanked by Saeko who proceeded to smash her bokken into the gray faces of any zombies too close for comfort.
"Why the hell would you scream! Now the entire school probably heard you!" Saya screeched at her childhood friend.
"Less talking, more running." Naruto barked, ducking underneath an arm swipe as he made for the bus.
"Aaarrrggggh!" The ex-shinobi grimaced as the sounds of screaming with maws sinking into flesh revibrated into his ears.
If he had access to his chakra, protecting everyone would have been child's play.
Leaping to the side from a zombie that lurched in the position he was formally in, Naruto slashed at the gray skinned cunt before he resumed his running, his impressive, otherworldly biology allowing him to easily make up the distance as he protected Saya, Kyoko, and Shizuka from any of the bloodthirsty undead from behind.
Fortunately, the distance to the school bus hadn't been excessively far and Naruto stood guard in the parking lot as Shizuka entered, slashing and killing away at the nearby zombies with Saeko and Takashi assisting him in.
Whoosh.
A nail flew in the air before finding a home in the forehead of a zombie that got too close to Takashi for comfort.
Naruto looked over to the open window and nodded approvingly at triple-chin-kun before focusing back on the horde of undead that he needed to eliminate.
A task that was none too hard for the blonde who was already making swift work of them, slicing at their head and dancing around them for the fun of it.
Suddenly, the sound of the bus came roaring to life, and Naruto had to grunt as his fun came to an end, cleaving through the horde with finesses that didn't belong to this world.
Turning to the awestruck Saeko who had just mere moments ago witnessed his skill, Naruto flashed her a charming grin and bowed. "After you."
The president of the kendo club snapped out of her stupor and couldn't help but send her friend an amused smile. "Being a gentleman now are we?"
"Better late than never." He replied while delivering a spinning hook kick to the temple of an undead attempting to jump him from behind.
Saeko giggled before entering inside, Takashi followed soon after.
"Help us!"
Naruto paused as he entered inside, turning towards the direction of the cry and watching mutely as a group of students alongside Shido-sensei ran to them.
"Who is that?" Takashi softly questioned.
"Shido. The teacher of classroom 3-A" Saeko answered him.
"Everyone, we're ready to go." Shizuka announced to the group.
Kyoko abruptly turned to the nurse. "Don't leave just yet Shizuka-Sensei, we must wait for the other group to reach us."
Rei went red with fury. "We are not letting him come with us."
"Are you insane!?" Takashi looked at her incredulously before a hint of anger crept to his tone. "We can't just leave them."
Naruto interjected before the group could dissolve into an argument. "We are waiting for them, while I am none too fond of that teacher myself, the students with him shouldn't suffer because of your grudge against Shido."
Rei bit back her retort, crossing her arms underneath her ample chest before angrily looking away.
"Guys! We have lots of them out on the front." Shizuka panickily announced.
The former shinobi gazed out front and true to the nurse's word, he could see plenty of those undead fuckers blocking the path to the exit.
"Then just run them over." Takashi replied tensely.
Saya looked irritatedly at her childhood friend. "Not an option, the bus will roll over if we don't do something about them!"
"I will take care of them, Shizuka-Chan, get ready to leave once they're on board." Naruto ordered before he jumped out, ignoring Shizuka's shrieks to get back in as he pulled out his twin knives before he leapt at the closest zombie around.
Having trained extensively since the age of six, the very art of fighting was ingrained into Naruto's very soul. He may have lost his ability to use chakra, yes, but years of practicing the katas, the motions, the muscle memory of stances and forms… they didn't just go away.
No, no, no.
Fortunately, Naruto still remembered how to kick ass and he did it pretty well.
While it would come off as arrogant, the fact was, Naruto could face the most skilled martial artists this world had to offer and he would still emerge victorious even without his chakra. His skills as a hand to hand fighter were just on another world, quite literally if he wanted to brag.
Against the most skilled fighters, Naruto barely broke a sweat but against these bumbling, walking corpses?
It was a slaughter. It mattered not that two dozen of the undead circled the blonde in an attempt to feast on his flesh. Naruto was just too fast, too skilled, to be caught by the sluggish movement of the undead corpses that could be beaten by fresh out of the academy genin.
Everyone in the bus watched silently, transfixed by the deadly display as Naruto danced and cleaved through the crowd of zombies.
Yet despite their amazement and awe, one in particular, felt her heart sadden at the reminder that for how close they had gotten, there was still much she didn't know about Naruto as she would have liked, much about him that remained a mystery she seemingly couldn't uncover.
Shizuka snapped out of her melancholy just in time to watch as the second group arrived before the students began pouring into the bus and finding a seat for themselves. She barely managed to stop herself from shivering in disgust as Shido's lecherous gaze, hidden behind a warm facade, traced over her body before he smiled widely.
'Ewwww.'
"I am grateful for your compassion, Shizuka Marikawa." He said with what he hoped would be a charming accent.
Swallowing back the vile that she almost let loose, she gave a shaky smile as she opened her mouth to respond.
"And I would be grateful if you sat your skinny ass on a seat, ass-wipe sensei." Naruto spoke from behind him, saving Shizuka the trouble of replying as he climbed up before glaring at the shivering form of the sweating teacher.
"Y-Y-Yes Uzumaki-Kun." Shido stuttered before heading all the way to the back to keep some distance between him and the blonde menace.
Naruto scoffed before looking over at Shizuka. "Shizuka-Chan, get us out of here and to Rika's place." He commanded softly before walking over to one of the empty seats and laying there.
Taking a deep breath, Shizuka put the bus on gear and stomped on the gas pedal.
The bus lurched forward in response, the sudden force on the pedal causing everyone to be pushed back into their seats as the large vehicle accelerated forward.
She navigated the bus until it was on course for the front gate, eyes widening in panic at the number of living corpses standing in their way. "They're not human, they're not human, they're not human." Shizuka repeatedly chanted as she applied more force on the gas pedal, smashing through them before the large vehicle reached and plowed through the front gate.
To her and everyone's relief, the bus broke through the gate without issue and Shizuka spun the wheel to right the vehicle in the right direction before driving away, leaving behind a courtyard full of undead, once, normal students.
Silence prevailed on the bus, whether it was due to shock, exhaustion, unfamiliarity, or a different reason altogether, no one knew. But regardless, a tense atmosphere clouded the air inside the bus and even Naruto, laid-back and easy-going as he was, wasn't really in the mood to joke around.
Unfortunately, not everyone was in the mood to pipe down and relax.
Tsunoda, never one to read the mood and also lacking any sort of semblance when it came to manners, tched rather loudly. "Where are we going? And why do we have to go wherever you guys want!? Couldn't we have just found a well supplied room and stayed there until things settle down!?"
"Yeah!" one of the students from Shido's group, a small homosapien with seemingly no redeeming qualities quipped in. "It would be a lot safer than just randomly driving on the road!"
Naruto inwardly rolled his eyes at the statement. That sounded like a brilliant idea. He thought sarcastically.
Saya looked over at the pair with clear annoyance, her thoughts unknowingly mirroring the blonde's. "Have you both forgotten that it was you all who ran to us." She stressed that point, ignoring the growling of the larger man as she hmphed.
Takashi nodded in clear agreement. "That's right, it was you guys who made the choice of leaving school alongside us, we didn't choose for you."
Evidently, that was the wrong thing to say as Tsunoda's eyes narrowed in rage. "WHAT DID YO-"
Shizuka slammed hard on the brake, almost knocking the delinquent over as she unbuckled her seat and turned around to let her ire be known. "That's enough! I can't focus on driving with you all yelling."
Her outburst effectively stunned everyone inside the bus as it was a first that they had witnessed the incredibly kind, patient, and soft-spoken woman lose her composure. The only one unfazed by the rare display was Naruto who had most of the times seen and a few times been on the receiving end of Shizuka's temper.
There was something else instead that occupied Naruto's full attention.
Namely, it was Shizuka's fat shapely breasts that swung in the air, bouncing with a vigor that had his mouth watering.
Watching those huge tits as they stopped their incessant wobbling before coming to a complete stop, dangling in the air for all to see. Naruto stifled a groan as blood rushed down to his junior.
Shizuka was definitely bigger than Tsunade in the breast department.
'Ass too.' He thought with a perverted grin.
But while Naruto feasted his eyes on the buffet of enormous breasts, everyone else was preoccupied with other matters in mind.
Tsunoda clenched his jaw and looked away.
"So tell me, what do you want to do?" Saeko asked him sharply, arms crossed as she eyed him stoically.
He gritted his teeth as he eyed her, gaze still filled with barely repressed rage. "I just… I just can't stand this guy!" He declared while pointing his fingers at a perplexed and surprised Takashi.
"M-Me?" Takashi stuttered in surprise. "The hell did I ever do to you? I don't even know you."
"Bastard!" Tsunoda roared before he lunged forward only to kneel on the ground as Rei slammed the back end of her spear into his stomach in the same fashion a baseball player would slam their bat on the baseball.
"Puhhhhh!" Tsunoda coughed saliva before Rei threw him on his back with her spear.
'Ouch, can't imagine that being too good on the pride.' Naruto mused as he gazed at the groaning and downed form of the dyed blonde.
Rei wrinkled her nose in disgust. "Asshole."
The sound of clapping filled the air and Naruto had to roll his eyes as Orochimaru 2.0 dramatically walked into the scene, stepping over Tsunoda and gracing the childhood friends with a large and nauseating fake smile.
"Wonderful work Miyamoto-San, exemplary even. You took action when the situation demanded it but that now begs the question, who must we rely on when a situation calls for immediate and swift action? After all, in order for us to survive as a group, we must coexist and function well together and that can't happen if we all take different actions of our own… we need a leader."
Kyoko narrowed her eyes. "And let me guess, the only one qualified is you?" She questioned sharply, not amused with his obvious agenda.
"Why of course Kyoko-Sensei." Shido nodded with that disgustingly fake smile still plastered on his ugly mug. "I am an adult and while you and Shizuka-Sensei are adults too, Shizuka-Sensei happens to be the only one who can fill the position of being our doctor."
"I won't disagree with you there nor on the idea of needing a leader, but what makes you think I shouldn't lead?" She challenged.
Shido smiled condescendingly. "The answer is simple and do forgive me if you feel insulted but the position of leader belongs to the one most competent." He answered while throwing a hand back towards the students he saved. "The proof is right here for you to see, I helped saved those students."
One by one, the features of the students saved by Shido contorted into one of helplessly blind admiration, the sheer abundance of respect and happiness present in their visage making everyone else not part of the slimy teacher's group want to gag.
Kyoko lost the ability to speak, remembering clearly how she was all but useless the entire time. Hell she had been the reason that Naruto got bit!
Eyes widening in remembrance of the incident, Kyoko had to stomp down on the urge to ask and unintentionally expose Naruto about his current condition. All the turmoil and chaos had caused her to forget about the matter all together.
Vowing to privately question her student later, the least she could do with how he heroically saved her life, Kyoko glared at Shido as she tried desperately to think of a rebuttal.
Only to come up empty handed.
Seeing as though he managed to render his greatest opponent speechless, the smile on Shido's lip spread an inch wider. "And I bel-"
"I'm going to stop you right there asswipe-sensei." Naruto suddenly interjected, causing everyone to peer at him in surprise before a few released muffled snickers at the derogatory name. "First of all, you act as though we are all part of one group." He sighed dramatically and shook his head. "Unfortunately, for you that is, that's just not the case."
"I se-" "And second of all!" Naruto callously interrupted. "It's as you said, if we are to do the whole leadership thing, the most competent for the job should be leader, being an adult doesn't mean jack shit."
Silence reigned in the bus after that statement. Shido waited a few seconds more before he tried to make his opinion. "Be th-" "And finally!" another round of suppressed snickers emerged and even the professional Kyoka had to bite her lips to prevent her laughter from being heard.
Up on the front, Shizuka struggled to bottle down her amusement at Naruto's antics, it was just like him to purposely antagonize someone.
"We, our group I mean." Naruto said while gesturing to the members of the original squad around him. "Already have a plan in mind, so we don't need any guidance from you. Not that anyone from our group wants your leadership… To summarize since you have an ass up there for a head. We have two separate groups, you aren't the most competent, and we are currently pursuing our goal. I think that's pretty simple to understand, right?"
Karma truly was a bitch. It was now Shido's turn to be speechless, the teacher offered a shaky smile before recognition suddenly dawned upon him and his lips curled into a malicious smile.
"And tell me Uzumaki-Kun, seeing as we are two separate groups, how is my group meant to survive if we have no resources, no weapons, nothing to guarantee our safety? You wouldn't sentence your fellow students to death, would you?"
Naruto scoffed. "You can have the bus once we reach a certain destination." Saya immediately hissed and stood up. "And how will we travel?"
"Shizuka-Chan's friend, Rika, has a big Humvee that can easily fit all of us in."
Crossing his arm, Naruto sent Shido a soul-crushing stare. "Also, nobody from our side said that the other students can't join our group, we'd just have to discuss it first. You on the other hand are a definite no."
'Though, judging by how those students are looking at him as though he is God, I know for a fact that they won't join us.'
Shido gritted his teeth furiously before he whirled around and headed back to his seat.
The ex-shinobi chuckled out loud. 'It's good to be me.'
End.
And that marks the end of this chapter, as I said lads, this story will to a degree follow canon but it also won't, case in point being how Rei didn't leave the bus.
Naruto living here has already caused numerous changes in this reality and I will be delighted to show them to you all one by one.
Also, I won't spoil the next chapter but I do believe you all will love it once you read it.
Chapter 3, 4, and 5 are posted on my p.a.t.r.e.o.n Feel free to check it out lads, here's the link
