MAELSTROM: Immortal's Harem at World's End

In which an immortal Naruto is awakened to a world without men, thanks to a virus he thought he and his ladies stopped long ago.


[Tokyo, Japan, 2045]

MAELSTROM, a private military company that specializes in security, bodyguarding, bounty hunting, and secretly…assassinations. It is rumored that the higher-ups are a group of immortals who have walked the Earth for thousands of years, and they'd be right. Barely anyone knows who they are except for one, who appears in different points of history with the same appearance, and inhuman strength that had all nations sign a life-long non-aggression pact with MAELSTROM. But the leader is currently napping, leaving MAELSTROM partially struggling in their current predicament…

"Excuse me! Hasegawa-san!"

"What is it? Is everything alright?"

"Our spy in that rogue group in the outskirts sent this. I want to get this to you personally."

"…Are you sure this is accurate?"

"Check the photo. It's in the file."

"…This is…"

"It's him, isn't it?"

"Yes. I knew a simple virus couldn't take him down. You haven't told the Ministers yet, have you?"

"The only ones who know are our spies within the UW Japan higher-ups, Orimura and Hida."

"Good. Since he's always weakened whenever he awakens, it's imperative that we secure him immediately and get him back to full health."

"But if we send any troops, the UW will know."

"That's what the Zero Squad is for, Shiranui-san."

"Oh!"

"Bring Zero to me. I shall let Medaka and Yu-san know."

"Yes, ma'am!"

"…Finally, the last of UW Japan's hold on us will be extinguished. Our beloved Uzumaki Naruto will finally be coming home…"


[The World]

The path to the world's prosperity is one that can change on a dime. The world has an illusion of a safe haven, but it is always on the brink of war. Nevertheless, the people of the world went on with their daily lives, none the wiser, even in the future.

In this new technological age, machinery and A.I. do most of the work while people are free to pursue their vices; with chores and work being referred to as a hobby nowadays. While it isn't a complete paradise, it was enough to make the people live in comfort.

That is until a global pandemic came calling in the year 2040.

The M.K. Virus, also known as the Man-Killer Virus, was a lethal disease that came out of nowhere and ravaged the planet, eradicating 99.9% of the world's male population. As a result, there were only females left to run the world, with no hope to turn the situation around.

And with males born post-pandemic, only to end up succumbing to the virus, the human race is already on the verge of extinction…

Until now.


Chapter 01: The Immortal Awakens


[Unknown Location]

On the roof of an abandoned, occupied hospital, a woman in a black robe was rubbing a pair of defibrillators together over a sleeping young man who had yellow-blonde spiky hair, whisker-marks on his cheeks, a fit body with abs and strange tattoos on his arms and body. He was currently lying on a hospital bed with two chains keeping him down and handcuffs on all four limbs.

"Come on, wake up! Clear!"

'Huh? Is someone trying to wake me up?' he thought after feeling a surge running through his body. "And why do I feel tied down? Doesn't feel like my Chakra Chains…"

"Third time's the charm! Clear!"

"Oof!" the blonde groaned, hearing a few voices yelp in fright in response. "All right, all right, I'm up, I'm up! Man, it's like an alarm clock, dattebayo!" he yawned as he sat up, only to feel that he couldn't. "Huh?"

Uzumaki Naruto's blue eyes snapped open, blinking as his eyes met the starry night sky. Despite his bound position, he rolled his neck, making cracking sounds before spotting a violet-haired woman wearing nothing but a black robe with a hood hovering over him. As she visually examined him, he also spotted more women hearing black robes and hoods.

"Oh great, another freakin' cult." he grumbled, sensing their cautiousness and…lust? "Before you do whatever it is you do, may I ask what year it is?"

"You don't need to know-!" one of the women said roughly, but the violet-haired woman raised her hand to silence her.

"It is the year 2045," the violet-haired woman revealed. The violet-haired woman in question had teal irises with an average figure and a modest bust. "May we know your name?"

"…Namikaze Menma." the blonde answered as the doctor started to examine him. "So, it's been 25 years, huh. Shorter than last time…" he muttered to himself.

"We found you in the basement of a house that's been abandoned for a long time. Oh, I'm Erisa by the way. Dr. Tachibana Erisa." the leader introduced herself. "I am the leader of Izanami."

"Izanami, huh? Like the goddess of creation and death. Edgy, dattebayo." Naruto mused with a roll of his eyes. "So…got any clothes, doc?" he asked, seeing how he was naked.

Not that he was uncomfortable with it, but his Naruto Jr. was standing at full attention in front of a bunch of naked women with only robes on. But much to his surprise and concern, the ladies were loving what they were seeing.

Erisa however was neutral.

"Sorry, we don't. Not that you need them." she said. "I'm sorry for what's about to happen, but this is necessary for the human race."

"Lady, you have no idea how many times I've heard that in my lifetime." Naruto drawled in annoyance.

"Of course, because you're the infamous Immortal, Uzumaki Naruto; the Strongest Creature on Earth, right?" Erisa said pointedly, seeing the blonde frown at her. "I understand hiding your identity, but we're at the point that it's not necessary. Those that fear you are gone."

"…I request elaboration…and a fresh pair of briefs." Naruto drawled, noting the other women shamelessly drooling over him. "I like a good time every now and then, but again, I just woke up, you know."

Erisa grimaced. "All of the men in this world are gone, and-"

"That's all you need to know!" one of the more bustier women said roughly, shoving Erisa aside. "Now let's get started!"

"Izume-san!" Erisa said reproachfully as the woman looked down at the blonde.

"Wait, I thought you were the leader." Naruto said, nodding to Erisa. "And what's this about 'all the men are gone'? Are you ladies living in your own world or something? The fuck kind of cult is being run here?! Moshi moshi?! Hello?!"

"Silence!" The woman known as Izume snapped at him and turned her attention to her fellow cultists. "We shall now commence the awakening ritual to bring forth Uzumaki- no…To rouse our sacred servant!"

The women cheered as Erisa looked away.

'This is just great. I can't move thanks to these damn chains, and my limbs are still stiff due to sleeping for so long.' he thought as tried to move, well, anything. 'Fingers are fine…toes are fine…joints feel locked…neck sore…and chakra…' he frowned in concentration, feeling the energies within him. 'All fine, so I can still do jutsu. It's gonna take a bit to build up. Still…' he shifted around, giving a feel for his surroundings to form a plan. 'Where the hell are Medaka-chan, Yu-chan, and Chisato-chan?! The seals on them should've pinged them by now!'

"Bring forth the branding iron!"

"...The what now?"


[On a nearby hill]

The silence of the night was broken by the sound of a small engine as a motorcycle crested the hill and came to a stop. The rider shut the engine off and looked up to see the hospital in the distance. Pulling out a pair of binoculars, the rider gazed through them and focused on the building. Scanning the structure, the rider eventually spotted the crowd of people on the roof. Studying each one, the rider suddenly spotted the blonde man in the center.

"Found him." The rider said before touching a button on the bikes' radio transmitter. "Zero Squad, this is Zero-Actual. I've located the target. Roof of the old Kawasaki Hospital."

"Roger, Actual. We're almost in position. What are our orders?"

"Observe for now. Zero-One and Two, keep an eye on the roofs and buildings for any sudden developments. Three and Four, be on the lookout in the area. With this much light, we might have some…uninvited guests. Five and Six, standby with our xfill."

A chorus of 'Roger' sounded out as the rider went back to observing the blonde man and the women surrounding him.


[With Naruto]

Naruto sweatdropped as he saw a girl handing Izume a hot-and-ready branding iron. Its design was a strange symbol that looked like a cross between a flower and a butterfly. Thankfully, it spared him from thinking of anything unappealing as his 'morning wood' deflated, much to the chagrin of the surrounding women.

"Tachibana-san, you're supposed to be the leader, right? Call them off. Since you know my name, you should know my reputation and what I'm capable of. It isn't going to end well. Less for me and more for you all." Naruto demanded as Izume moved closer with the branding iron. "I can tell that some of you look sexually deppressed. Probably because you all couldn't find a man for yourself. I'm not the answer. My Naruto Jr. is a literal bitch-breaker, and you don't want none."

At the moment, Naruto was getting his chakra under control, building it up inside himself to spread across the rest of his body. It was taking a while, but he was running off at the mouth to buy time. It sucked that he's never at one hundred percent when waking up from a long nap, but that's the price to pay for sleeping for an extremely long time.

"I am sorry, Uzumaki-san, but that will not be possible. This…is necessary."

'Curse you for this undying life, Kaguya…!' Naruto thought in annoyance as he saw the busty Izume raise the branding iron. "C'mon now, can't we talk about this over a few bowls of ramen? Look, I can give you a few pointers about how to score a man. It's actually super easy, barely an inconvenience!" he added with a wink.

"...Remind me to get a ball-gag for those men the government bitches have," Izume drawled and grabbed Naruto by the bottom of his jaw.

"How is that a no?!" Naruto yelped, seeing the branding iron aimed at his forehead. "Seriously, I offer it free of charge! Can we talk about this?!"

"Talk will be meaningless once you're our slave, and reborn as our God, Izanami!" Izume declared with a manic grin.

"Well you crazy bitch, I tried!"

As Izume plunged the branding iron towards Naruto's forehead, chains spouted from his back and knocked her back. The chains lashed about, freeing Naruto from his binding and knocking some of the women back. At the same time, a couple of the chains deprived some random women of her cloaks, making them yelp. More chains sprouted from his back and snaked around Naruto's arms to bring them together, allowing him to do hand signs.

"Uzumaki Puppetry!" he shouted as chakra threads snaked from his fingertips. "Body Control!"

The chakra thread attached themselves to various parts of his joints and limbs. Naruto quickly moved his fingers, mentally getting a feel of what each finger controls. Taking a chance, he manipulated himself to get up, only to hear and feel painful cracks in his body.

"Dammit!" he muttered as his chains took the robes and tied two of them around his neck and waist, with the third one being properly draped on his body. "If only I recovered enough to use the Asura Path- Hey, keep back!" His Chakra Chains automatically attacked any of the women that attempted to get close to him, knocking them back. "Do not make me hurt you!"

"Please, keep it down!" Erisa pleaded, trying to get close, 'trying' because of a Chakra Chain pointed at her between her eyes. "You don't understand-"

"Nah, I understood plenty enough from your first impressions," Naruto growled out as he staggered to the rooftop door. "And I'm not sticking around for anymore of your crazy rituals!"

"Stupid so-called Immortal! After him! You all outnumber those chains!" Izume ordered. "Besides, even in his weakened state, chivalry lives."

Naruto sweatdropped as the women cautiously moved closer. In desperation, he rammed the door open, but overshot his ramming speed, finding a long flight of stairs that greeted him.

"Well this is going to fucking suck!" he groaned as he painfully landed on the steps. "Gah!"

Thus beginning his unceremonious descent down the stairs.

"Oof! Oh! OW!"

"FOLLOW HIM, YOU FOOLS!" Izume screamed before Erisa clamped her mouth shut. "WHAT?!"

"Be quiet, please! If your voice echoes that far, they'll come for us!" Erisa scolded her angrily as the other women went after him.

Izume knocked her hand away. "This wouldn't have been an issue if you had let us drug him in his sleep like we planned!"

"And risk his wrath should it not work?! That is Uzumaki Naruto, the Strongest Creature on Earth! An immortal man that brought every single nation's military might to their knees! He could've helped us willingly!" Erisa snapped back in frustration. "I should never have told you or the others!"

"It doesn't matter now. A power like that should be brought to heel, and it will be done." Izume snarled at her before shoulder-bumping her as she followed after her fellow women.

"...What should I do?" Erisa murmured, clutching her chest where her own branded symbol is. "Reito…"


[The Nearby Hill]

"This is Zero-One! Target has made it to the staircase. The other women are going after him!"

"Zero-Actual. Confirmed. Three and Four, any activity from roads? That woman was loud enough that I could hear her from here!"

"Negative, Actual. Roads are quiet. No activity in sight."

"Good. Let's hope they stay quiet enough that this goes unnoticed. For the life of me, I don't know why they would set up so close to a known camp."

"Lord knows, Actual. We'll keep a lookout. Over."


[With Naruto]

"...D'oh! Awwwwwwwwwwwww. I think I broke my dick…"

After a while of tumbling and rag-dolling down the stairs, Naruto finally landed-slash-crashed on the first floor. He gritted his teeth from the pain as he wiggled his fingers, pulling himself up. He looked up to see the women coming down, some of them peeking to spot him.

Naruto booked it, running down a hallway and to the front lobby of the hospital. "Why's the door barricaded?" he wondered before hearing the yells of the women. He braced himself and charged towards the door, his eyes slightly morphing. "Shinra Tensei!"

The door blew off its hinges and crashed into the parking lot in front of the hospital. Naruto hissed at the pull of his chakra reserves and ran out to the middle of the lot, his eyes widening at the scenery around him. All the surrounding buildings looked abandoned, the cars unused with broken windows and dented frames, and the streets were void of people.

"What the hell?" he muttered as he heard the footsteps of the women.

"You fool! Are you trying to kill us all?!" Izume snapped at him.

Naruto only turned around, an eerie look in his cold eyes. "What the hell happened here?" he demanded. "And the only thing I want out of your mouths is an explanation! Now!"

"Please, let go back inside and-" Erisa said, walking towards him, but his eyes flashed, the pressure knocking her back. "Kya!"

Naruto's chains then grabbed a car and lifted it up, with the women gasping with fright. "See this car?" he snarled before tossing it to a nearby building, causing a loud boom that echoed throughout the area. "That's how easily I can throw it. So unless you cultists want to be permanently planted in the concrete, one of you better start spilling some exposition right fucking now!"

The absolute terror on the women's faces seemed to show that the women of Izanami got the message, until a loud screeching noise reverbed towards the area. Naruto frowned, noticing that it didn't come from one of the women, who were all looking even more terrified.

"You…shouldn't have done that." one of them whispered in fright.


[Zero-Actual]

"Oh, fuck me! One and Two, cover me! Three and Four, get to high ground and support One and Two. Five and Six, start the engine! It's gonna be a hot extract!"

"Roger that!"

"So much for this being quiet."

"Was it too much to ask to keep it down?!"

"Don't blame the target! He didn't know!"

Zero-Actual hopped onto the motorcycle and started the ignition. After revving the engine a few times, the rider zoomed into the city.


[With Naruto]

Naruto's anger and annoyance disappeared thanks to his senses now screaming at him. Finally activating his Negative Emotions Sensing, he was alarmed at the extreme raw and primal emotions heading their way.

"So uh," Naruto looked at the women, and sweatdropped at seeing most of them running. "Zombie apocalypse?"

Erisa shook her head, breathing heavily. "No, worse-"

"We have to go!" Izume said urgently, grabbing Erisa's arm to drag her away. "Now!"

"Wait-" Erisa protested, resisting.

"He is what you said, right? Then he'll be more than enough for them!"

"We can't leave him! We have to take him with us! If the UW gets to him-!"

Suddenly, a vehicle rounded the corner of an intersection. It was an armored SUV with black and red painting and…skulls decorating its front. With no regard for the road, it popped up the sidewalk and rammed through the parking lot barrier; making a beeline for Naruto. Sensing hostile intent, Naruto manipulated his Chakra Chains to upend the car when it got close. It flew backwards, tumbling along the concrete until it came to a stop.

"Zombie apocalypse, it is not. Otherwise there'll be no emotions." Naruto mused with a frown. "And rotting flesh…"

The door to the armored car blew open and landed with a crash. Then, a few individuals stepped out, their appearance unnerving Naruto. They looked human to an extent, but upon closer inspection, their skin and flesh a reddish hue and otherwise open or partially healed. They also had barbaric piercings and random bits of metal shoved into their flesh, and dressed in blood-stained rags.

"...What the fuck are they?" Naruto hissed, seeing the eyes of the newcomers and they were completely void of sanity.

"...Reavers." Erisa whispered, loud enough for Naruto to hear.

When said Reavers laid eyes on them, they let out primal roars and unsheathed their jagged weapons. They charged at Naruto, with Naruto bracing himself for combat, with Izume lifting Erisa up and carrying her away back to the hospital, where the other women were watching.

"I'll have to go with pandemic then," Naruto said and raised his hand. "If you're here for a prolonged fight, you're in for a disappointment. Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"

The ones called the Reavers were blown back, just as more cars with the same paint job and aesthetics came rolling through. Naruto growled at that and commanded his chains to skewer the offending Reavers, whipping his chains to turn him into chunks of meat before turning his attention to the new sets of Reavers.

However, there was the sound of a gunshot, followed by one of the car's tires being blown out, causing it to trip over and land upside down. The rest of the cars followed suit, and then the Reavers tried to crawl out of the wreckage, a few more gunshots followed, blowing the Reavers' brains out.

"Huh?"

Naruto looked upwards to see two snipers gunning down the Reavers, dropping them where they were running. "Friends of yours?" he shouted at the Izanami women, who all shook their heads. "Or not."

Then, a motorcycle vaulted over one of the upturned Reaver vehicles, with the one known as Zero-Actual speeding towards Naruto. The blonde looked on with interest as the rider, dressed in all black with a trench coat, slacks, and a bulletproof vest with two half-tang swords strapped to his back, pulled up beside him.

"Uzumaki Naruto, right?" Zero-Actual asked.

"Depends. Unless you're from another cult, who wants to know?" Naruto asked with narrowed eyes.

The rider took their helmet off, revealing a young man with black hair and mixed Asian and European features. "I'm the guy who was sent to drag your ass out of this shitshow. For now, just call me 'Zero'."

Erisa gasped. "Kobayashi Aran?!" she whispered.

"Heh, a guy. Figures those ladies were bullshitting." Naruto chuckled. "Who's the client?"

"Hasegawa Chisato. She's also told me to inform you that she's summoned Medaka and Yu as well. They were in China on business." Zero informed him before revving his bike. "I'd explain more, but we gotta go. Where there's a group of Reavers, an army will follow."

Naruto looked relieved and nodded. "Lead the way." he said and got on the backseat of Zero's motorcycle.

"Wait, no! You can't go with him!" Erisa cried out as she tried to go after him, but Izume held her back.

"He's a lost cause now that he's in that boy's hands!" Izume hissed at her before whispering. "We'll just need to bide our time for the other five you told us about, right?"

Erisa bit over lip as Zero drove off with Naruto in tow, leading the other arriving Reavers to chase after them.

"Besides, we need to go now, before the Reavers remember that we're here." Izume advised her seriously. "And you know how incompatible they are to being Izanami's Sacred Servant, and what they can do to us!"

"…Right." Erisa murmured and gestured to the women. "Another time then. Let's go, everyone."

Izume scowled as they retreated, and looked back at the retreating males. 'It's impossible for that Kobayashi boy to know about the Immortal. It only confirms what I suspected, that we have a traitorous counter spy in our midst. They'll need to be found before we make a move on the others…'

(Cue Playing with Lightning by Expansion Union from Blade)

Back with the boys, Naruto and Zero zoomed down the street with the Reavers on their tail. The engines roared and echoed throughout the city, getting ever so close to their targets. But whenever they got close, Naruto used his Chakra Chains to target the tires, blowing them out and sending them careening into buildings.

"It feels like a Mad Max movie! What's their story? When did the pandemic start?!" Naruto asked over the noise.

"In a minute!" Zero said and tapped his helmet. "Girls, status report!"

"This is Zero-One! We're coming to meet you!"

Zero looked up to see four motorcycles bounding across the rooftops, with the riders gunning down the motorcycle-riding Reavers whenever they could. But they couldn't get the ones riding in the armored cars and SUVs.

"All right. Zero-Five, Zero-Six, we got Reavers on our tails. Can you come meet us?!"

"Way ahead of you! Six is already on turrets! ETA 2 minutes!"

"Hope you can use those chains of yours to hold on! We'll be leaving in a Boeing CH-47 Chinook!" Zero called out.

"Heh. First time I experienced one of those things was when I was dropped into the Vietnam War!" Naruto chuckled, hooking his chains to the bike as he looked behind him. "What in the Fortnite?!"

"Zero-Actual, they have an armored bus and it's coming your way!"

Rumbling down the road was a large repurposed school bus painted in red and black, dressed in burnt skeletons. There were also spikes on its sides and rim, and a pointed snow plower in the front. The windows were also tinted, obstructing the view inside.

"Dammit, if only I was at a hundred percent, but that isn't possible without the other's help!" Naruto growled, mentally noting his chakra reserves.

"Don't worry about it. Ms. Hasegawa already informed us. You just hold on and let us do the work." Zero assured him.

"Thanks, but I'd rather pull my weight." Naruto shot back and aimed his hand at the bus. "Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"

Naruto summoned a large gust of wind. The bus was lifted up ever so slightly, but the weight kept it on the road until the jutsu ended. It retaliated by firing spikes, which Naruto dodged and Zero maneuvering his motorcycle to avoid them. Bullets bounced off the bus as Zero's teammates rain down cover fire.

"Faster, faster, faster would be better!" Naruto growled as the bus used some kind of boost to get closer. "Do I even want to know what Reavers do to their victims?!"

"If they catch a poor soul, they rape them to death, eat their flesh, and sew their skins into their clothing! And if they're very, very lucky, they'll do it in that order!"

"...WHAT THE FUCK!" Naruto yelled before kicking at the plow that was right up his ass. "Oof!" he yelled, nearly losing his balance until Zero caught him.

"How about you not tip us over while we're trying to escape from an army of cannibalistic mutants?!" Zero said as he gunned the engine to put more distance between them and the bus.

"I've been inactive for 25 years. Gimme a break, dattebayo!" Naruto shot back, continuing to put dents in the snow plower.

"I'm going to break something if you don't stop thrashing!" Zero rebutted as he activated the radio. "Zero-Five and Zero-Six! I could really use some heavy weaponry here!" Zero yelled through the comms.

"Hang on! We see you!"

The black CH-47 Chinook came into view, descending between the buildings ahead. At one of its side doors, there was a mounted turret with a young woman behind it. Revving the cord, she rains down hot lead on the pursuers. As the heavy caliber bullets put dents on the armor and shots through the windows, the Reavers retaliated by having their turrets pop up from the roof of the bus. But before they could open fire, Naruto directed his chains, forcing the turret backwards as it opened fire, taking out its own and leaving his back exposed.

"Fire Style: Hellfire Jutsu!" Naruto yelled before unleashed a stream of hot flames from his mouth, frying the Reavers on the turret.

"We're coming in for a descent! You'll have to get on while we're moving!"

The Chinook descended while opening its back cargo ramp, with One, Two, Three, and Four hitting the boost on their motorcycles and landed in the helicopter.

"Need a boost with my chains? I need contact with the ground to make a ramp!"

"No need! I'll make my own!"

Zero hit his boost, the motorcycle increasing in acceleration as he looked around for something to use as a ramp. He spotted a pile of upended cars and drove towards it, bounding off it to sail towards the Chinook. But the bus behind them crashed into the pile of cars, one of them flying towards the Chinook and forcing it to evade, meaning that the duo won't make it. But Naruto managed to fire his chains, latching onto the helicopter. He then quickly retracted them from his back, pulling himself, Zero, and the latter's motorcycle, yanking them into the cargo bay and sending them sprawling on the floor.

"They're in!" one of Zero's squadmates yelled. "Close it!"

Naruto rolled over to see the cargo ramp close as the Chinook gained altitude. "Uuugghhhhh…"

"Ohhh." Zero moaned as two of his squadmates, a brunette and an ashen hair, rushed over and helped him to his feet. "That landing didn't go as expected."

"Sorry about that. Things would be much different if I had my full powers unlocked. Before I go into hibernation, I would have Chisato seal three-fourths of my power away, and only she can unlock it when I wake up. Well, in this case, I was forced to wake up." Naruto grumbled as Zero's team helped him onto a seat. "Thanks. All I need is for Chisato and Yu to restore me to 100% and I'll be right as rain."

"She told me to expect that. I think she underestimated you, because you were quite spry out there." Zero said as he took his helmet off.

"Yeah, spry enough to alert a nearby Reaver horde." One of Zero's teammates noted in annoyance, a young woman with silver-gray, ashen hair and golden eyes.

"Not his fault, Mikoto. Those Izanami broads weren't keen on informing him of anything," Zero said and cleared his throat. "Ah, yes, introductions are in order." he said as he held out his hand. "As you no doubt heard from Tachibana Erisa, my name is Kobayashi Aran. My American name is Alan Smith. I'm half-Japanese, half-American."

"Well met, Aran. You know this already, but my name is Uzumaki Naruto." Naruto said and shook his hand. "I'm sure you know of my rep, yeah?"

"Of course. Despite what happened to the world, your exploits are still well-known as the face of MAELSTROM. You could say that I'm a bit of a fan." Aran said and gestured to his team. "This is my team: Shiryuu Chou'un, Yoko Littner, Miyamoto Rei, Kiba Mikoto, and Minami Rika. The ones at the controls are Kurokawa Mari and Kuribayashi Shino. Together, we make up the Zero Squad."

"The Zero Squad…" Naruto murmured with a raised eyebrow. "So you're like a mercenary group? PMC?" he guessed before smirking. "Quite the harem you got." he said teasingly, causing some of them to blush. "Plus three Respect."

Aran chuckled as he sat next to him. "A complement from the Strongest Creature on Earth. You're gonna make me blush."

"At least you're a lot saner than that cult that found me." Naruto mused, sitting back to relax. "Going on about how all the men in the world are gone. I think the presence of those Reavers fried their sanity." he said before noticing everyone grimacing. "What?"

"Naruto…about all the men being gone…" Aran bit his lip. "They're…not exactly wrong about that."

Naruto blinked. "...Come again?"

Aran smirked slightly. "That's the girls' job." He chuckled a bit, and made his squad blush more, before his smirk dropped. "But in all seriousness, they're right, to a significant extent. Aside from a handful of males, nearly all men in the world are dead. Killed by a global viral outbreak in 2040."

Naruto's eye twitched. "...Elaboration."

"Of course." Aran said as he took out a tablet and showed it to Naruto. "The pathogen was unknown prior to the outbreak, leaving it to wreak havoc across the planet without warning. Ninety-nine percent of those who are infected begin vomiting blood and exhibit purplish skin discoloration. Death followed in three days. The virus transmits through air and is highly contagious, hence becoming a global pandemic."

Naruto gritted his teeth as the slideshow showed what Aran was talking about. "Surely the world learned its lesson from the last pandemic and created a vaccine, right?"

"Technology had advanced since you were asleep, yes, but it was still not enough. For one, the virus is still out there with no vaccine made to this day." the tanned violette Minami Rika said.

"Wait a minute," Naruto mumbled as he looked closely at the pictures. "All of the victims…are male!"

"Yes. The Man-Killer Virus, MK Virus for short, nearly wiped out all the men on Earth, with females mostly remaining." Aran revealed grimly. "A limited number of males are dependent on cold-sleep in cryo-pods to survive, but as of right now, 99.9% of all males on the planet have been extinguished. You and I are the only two active males walking this Earth right now."

"No…no way," Naruto's face twisted in horror as his blood ran cold. "It can't be! There's no way that virus could've been made!"

"Wait, what do you mean by that?!" demanded the brunette Miyamoto Rei.

"That virus is man-made! A group called the Daughters of Artemis tried this decades ago in the early 2010s! Me and the other Immortals caught wind of it from our spy network and took out those that were making the virus! We made sure to get every scrap of data and equipment and went as far as to dump it all in Mt. Fuji!" Naruto shouted to everyone's shock. "There's no way we could've missed one! Fucking how?!"

He remembered it like it was yesterday. Some crazy all-female terrorist group made their presence known by bombing important locales like the White House; thankfully the President and his cabinet weren't there at the time. The group, a bunch of so-called Neo-Amazon naming themselves the Daughter of Artemis, wanted all men gone for…sensitive reasons.

They succeeded in creating a virus that targeted the Y chromosome, used from prior research data that originally targeted melanin. But before they could release it, MAELSTROM came calling and wiped them all completely. All members, all connections, and data, gone.

Or so they thought.

"Maybe they didn't know and found a way for themselves?" the redhead sniper Yoko Littner guessed. "Like we said, technology advanced a lot."

"But it can't be a coincidence. I'm no medical expert regardless of all my years on Earth, but a virus like that has to have the components that exclusively targets the Y chromosomes." Naruto was saying before pausing. "Wait, those Reavers from before…they were all males too."

"About that," Aran said as he unpaused the slideshow. "One percent of those affected with MK-Virus had a different reaction. Instead of the usual side-effects, the affected males began to become highly aggressive and seemed to mentally degrade. They ceased being human beings and became animals. However, they retained their ability to use machines and weapons, but all of that is now dedicated to their pursuit of flesh."

"Which is why there are walled off cities around the world." The silver-haired swordswoman Shiryuu Chou'un added. "To keep the Reavers out and protect the survivors. While Reavers are no longer capable of rational thought, they are still dangerous."

Shiryuu Chou'un was a mysterious-looking girl with snow-white hair and closed eyes, with a long katana at her side. Once a member of the military, she left and joined Aran's team after he saved her and her fellow soldier's lives.

"...This is the worst kind of fantasy world. There'll be another Stone Age reset at this rate." Naruto grumbled and turned out the window, seeing the ruined districts of Japan. "I suppose the politics are still the same?"

Aran shrugged as he sat down. "In a world of only women? Pretty much. Despite the drop in the population, there's still refugees, homelessness, coercion, unreasonable attempts of control, and terrorist groups like Izanami. In other words, a fun time as usual."

"Lovely. Who's running things right now?"

"United Women, UW for short," Aran replied, chuckling when Naruto rolled his eyes. "They were formed when the survivors of sound mind were running rampant among others who were turning into Reavers. The women in power formed the UW, dispatching troops to suppress the revolts and rout the Reavers. They did try to find a vaccine for the virus, but no success. They made the walled cities and are doing what they can to keep the peace. There's a main branch in Washington D.C. called UW Global, and a subdivision called UW Japan, located in the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. We're going to be landing near there."

"How the hell could they have gotten that far?" Naruto groaned in exasperation. "There's no way I'm meeting the higher-ups like this. I have a reputation to maintain. If they see me like this…"

"Ministers, but yeah. Officially, the reason for our deployment was to 'Retrieve a cryo-pod containing a male subject that was being maintained in a facility outside the primary cryo-center.' To the UW Japan Ministers, the pod was just unaccounted for during the main freeze of surviving males." Aran said, pointing to said empty pod. "This'll help smuggle you in without tipping off the UW Global High Command."

Naruto snorted and looked to the side. "I bet one of them is responsible for the pandemic."

"You're not the only one who thinks that, but we'll finish the debriefing later. Just get some rest." Aran said, patting his back before standing up and walking away.

"So, what's your story?" Naruto asked, making Aran stop in his tracks.

'No. There is no escape. AAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!'

"...Another time." Aran said soberly and headed to the cockpit. "ETA?"

"With the new upgrade on our baby here? We'll be in Tokyo within the hour." Marikawa Mari informed him.

"I'll stay on the turret in case a Reaver tries to blow us out of the sky." Kuribayashi Shino said, heading to said turret.

Aran scoffed. "Wouldn't be the first time they tried."

Naruto sighed as he continued looking out of the window. It goes to show how much of a whiplash the passage of time can be. It wasn't like he asked for immortality, for he was cursed by Ootsutsuki Kaguya to live forever after her defeat. For more than a millennia he walked the Earth, experiencing everything every era has to offer, only to hibernate wherever things got boring; waking up every 10-100 years.

"Looks like I won't be hibernating for the next few hundred years…" he mused before noticing some tall walls up ahead in the morning's rising sun light, with the Tokyo Skytree still intact. "Good to see you again, Tokyo…"


[Private UW Facility]

On the rooftop of the building was a stunningly beautiful and attractive adult woman with hip-length black hair with bangs that stood as two ahoge, green irises with a mole under her left eye, red-framed glasses and silver earrings, and a voluptuous figure that befitted her status as immortal Goddess walking the Earth. Her outfit consists of a green knitted turtleneck, a tight black miniskirt with garter-belt stockings, and a white lab coat.

She watched as the black CH-47 Chinook approached the landing pad she was near, descending as the air whipped about. Aside from her hair flying about, she was unaffected as it made its landing. She adjusted her glasses as the ramp opened, with the Zero Squad rolling out a cryopod with a cover over it.

"Hasegawa Chisato. We have retrieved the package." Aran greeted her, rolling the pod to her. "There's been a few hiccups thanks to the target, but all's well that ends well."

Chisato nodded and lifted the cover slightly, seeing Naruto flashing a grin at her. She smirked, letting go of the cover and gestured for the others to follow. They got on an elevator and went to the basement level, where they wheeled the pod into a room that was accessed by a retinal scan that accepted Chisato's eye.

"Cortana, activate privacy screens." she ordered aloud.

"Yes, ma'am." a feminine electronic voice echoed through the room, with the windows adopting a projection that looks as if they had a view from a skyscraper. "Also, Kurokami Medaka and Yu Mei-ren have just arrived."

"Right on time." she said and opened the pod with a smile. "Hey there, Naruto. I heard you had a lot of excitement."

"Good to see you too, Chi-chan. Oof, easy ladies." Naruto grunted as Rei and Mikoto lifted him out of the pod and onto a cot. "If by excitement, you mean dealing with that Izanami cult that wanted to jump my bones; and the Reavers who wanted us as an entrée, then yes, it was stimulating." he drawled.

"I'll say." Aran chuckled before hearing his cell beep. Opening it, he saw that Chisato had just deposited a fat sum of money into his account. "C'mon, I told you on the way back that it was on the house."

"Then consider that a down payment for any other future jobs that we may need you for." Chisato replied as she grabbed her medical tools. "Now that we have Naruto, it's bound to get much busier. Just keep the Ministers in the dark until Naruto reveals himself."

"Already done. They're already shady enough as it is." Aran said and motioned to his team. "Come on, ladies. Job's done. Let's go home."

"Sounds good to me. I need a bath." Yoko said as she stretched, her boobs bouncing in her top.

"You and me both. That extraction was the worst." Mikoto added with a stink-eye to Naruto.

Rika laughed and wrapped her arm around Mikoto. "Come on, now. It's not his fault. Anyone who wakes up to a world like this is bound to be-"

"Clueless, I know. Sue me." Naruto drawled with a feeble attempt at flipping them the bird.

"We'll see you soon." Aran chuckled as he pushed his team out of the room.

"They're a lively bunch, aren't they?" Chisato noted before starting to examine Naruto with her hands. "You used that puppet technique."

"I had to. My muscles were slow in waking up, and you know I'm always in a weakened state after my long naps." Naruto said, wincing as Chisato's hand brushed over his limbs. "Give it to me straight, doc. How bad is it?"

"...You're in for the long haul with Yu-san." Chisato giggled, with Naruto groaning some more. "Until she gets here, I'll loosen you up."

Outside the building, a black sports car swerved to a stop at the front entrance. The guards who were standing by all tensed up before relaxing when they saw two women coming out of the car; the doors opening up upwards instead of sideways.

One had long brown hair tied in a braid, brown irises with glasses, and a slender figure with large breasts. Her attire consisted of a full-body dark sweater dress with a black coat with a fur collar over it, and black high heels.

The other had long purple hair that reached down to her waist, with bangs partially covering her red irises. She had a beautiful body with large breasts, and was wearing a white suit with six buttons over a dark section, a black miniskirt with black leggings and shoes.

"Seriously, part of me wishes that this is a prank of sorts from Hasegawa-san." Yu Mei-ren said grumpily. "Naruto being alive is an impossible miracle. It's almost too good to be true."

"What are you talking about, Yu? This is the boon we need! With Naruto back, the five immune males will have someone of their gender looking out for them, and who better than Naruto?" Kurokami Medaka refuted as they entered the building. "Besides, the Ministers' heads are getting too big and need to be humbled."

Yu scoffed at that as the elevator was summoned. "You would think that they wouldn't be with all the Reavers threatening to get into the Walled Cities. Not to mention the things they're hiding from UW Global. Never liked any of them."

They took the elevator to the room where Chisato is with Naruto. After an eye scan verification, the two entered to find Chisato straddled on top of a facedown Naruto, giving him a massage. Audible cracks were heard with Naruto groaning and tapping.

"Hold still now. You've strained yourself from fighting the Reavers, and that tumble you took down the stairs did not do you any favors." Chisato scolded him and pressed a shoulder into his back. "Better?"

"A bit." Naruto mumbled before spotting a shocked Yu and Medaka. "Hey Medaka-chan, Yu-chan! Long time no see! How've you been?"

"Holy shit, you really are alive! You dumbass!" Yu snarled and stomped towards him, rolling up her sleeves. "Move, Hasegawa! I'll handle the rest!"

"Seriously, Yu-chan?!" Naruto yelped as Chisato hopped off him. "Why are you so pissed?! What did I do?!"

"Nothing. She's just happy to see you alive and well." Medaka giggled as Yu hopped on his back, "As am I. When you were found after the pandemic was ravaging the planet, we feared the worst."

"Until our informant within Izanami told us that they found an unknown, healthy male, which turned out to be you." Medaka said and wagged her finger. "Seriously, next time you need to tell us where you're going to take your long nap! We were running around like chickens trying to find you initially!"

"And now here I am- OW!" Naruto yelled out as Yu elbow-dropped his back.

Yeah, Yu's version of a "massage" saved specially for Naruto is a combination of wrestling moves combined with Bajiquan he learned from the legedenary Li Shuwen. She was inspired by the way he gave her his version of a massage: painful yet effective. The wrestling part was just for shits and giggles.

"Miss you too, Yu-chan." Naruto grumbled, gritting his teeth as she pressed on his pressure points. "So will one of you explain to me how this happened under your noses? This MK-Virus is obviously the male-targeting virus we managed to prevent from spreading years ago."

"Indeed it is, but as I'm sure you heard, it came out of nowhere. We temporarily disbanded MAELSTROM and were on vacation by the time the pandemic hit. It was chaos by the time we realized what was happening, and all we could do was save who we could while reforming MAELSTROM." Medaka said as she sat next to him.

"The Reavers however were the most curious additions." Chisato said with a thoughtful expression. "Whoever recreated the MK-virus must've added an ingredient that clashed with the formula, causing the birth of the Reavers."

"And now the world is like a futuristic Mad Max movies, with cannibalistic rape zombies knocking at the front doors of the Walled Cities." Yu said over Naruto's grunts of pain, with her now pulling on his arms. "The Reavers are easy to handle, but politics? They're the same, but different…"

"Because they're run by only females, and that's a whole different ball game, right?" Naruto guessed before hissing as Yu pulled his arm back. "Men and women are built different in the world of politics. But when in the government, women always got the short end of the stick. And now that all the men are gone…"

"They get to realize their full power. But what they don't realize is that while they're doing things differently, the results are still the same, and they're no different from the men they believe they could do better than." Medaka said before summoning a holo-map of Japan, with three major points highlighted. "Here we are the three Walled Cities that are left: Tokyo, where we are, and Osaka and Kyoto."

"Wait, "that are left"?" Naruto asked slowly as Yu pulled both his arms back. "Gah!"

"There were more Walled Cities in Japan, but because of negligence and UW Japan refusing to play ball with us, they all fell. Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto are all that's left. But there's some good news to come out of it!" Medaka said quickly as Naruto's eye twitched. "MAELSTROM has control of Osaka and Kyoto, while UW Japan consolidated their control here in Tokyo. They still have control of Japan, but it's a start."

"All they need is a good kick in the rear to remind them of…humility." Chisato said with a knowing smirk while pulling out a scroll that was stored between her cleavage. "Shall we begin?"

"The sooner I'm one hundred percent, the better." Naruto said and flexed his fingers, cracking them. "Hit me."

Yu hopped off him as Chisato opened the scroll. A large spectral orange nine-tailed fox crawled out of it before flying around the room. With his strength back, Naruto shifted into a sitting position and raised his hand out. The fox responded by turning into pure chakra energy and flowed into his hand. He sighed in relief as he felt his original strength returned, and grinned as his eyes fully shifted into the Zengan, the combination of the Sharingan, Rinnegan, and Byakugan.

"That's the good shit!" Naruto declared, clenching his fist. "Believe it!"

He felt whole, complete. His chakra levels and reserves are back to normal, and he no longer feels weak as before. Grinning, he let out a minor pulse of chakra.

Resulting in Chisato's, Medaka's, and Yu's clothes being shredded; leaving them semi-nude.

"NARUTO!" Yu shrieked, bending down and covering herself.

"Back to full health, indeed." Chisato chuckled, not minding her partial-nude figure.

"A bit too soon to elope, don't you think?" Medaka giggled with a fan in hand with her top dangerously hanging from her nipples.

Naruto licked one side of his lips. "Tempting really, but I'd like to establish dominance first before having some…fun," he replied with a smirk toward Yu, who flipped him off.

"Says you and your raging boner…" she growled, glaring at said boner protruding from his makeshift loincloth.

"Can you blame me? I'm surrounded by beautiful women."

"Don't mind Yu-san. She's just as sexually depressed as all the other feritle women around the world…including our own…" Medaka giggled as Yu flipped her off too. "But there's no way you can go out looking like that."

"I concur. After all," Chisato floated over to him, brushing the back of her hand over his pecs and ads. "It's been such a long time, and we need to see if your stamina is…up to par."

"You know I'm always up to the challenge." Naruto grinned as Chisato shrugged off the remains of her lab coat. He leaned forward and kissed her, such she returned with vigor, groping his ass as he kneaded her bare breasts.

"OH, GET A ROOM!" Yu shrieked with a red face and sharp teeth.

"We managed to get the Tokyo Skytree as MAELSTROM's base of operations." Medaka pointed out from behind her fan. "We have rooms up there."

Naruto looked at her in surprise before grinning. "We'll see you there then," he said before using Kamui to transport himself and Chisato there.

"Wait! What about the meeting with the Ministers tomorrow?" Yu yelped in panic.

"I'm sure Chisato will inform him after our little romp." Medaka said as she left the room.

"Huh?! What do you mean, "our"?!" Yu snapped as she followed her out.

Medaka looked at her smugly. "Unlike you, I'm more honest with my needs. I won't let Chisato hog all that delicious Uzumaki DNA to herself…" she demurred before using one of her near-infinite skills to warp away.

"HEY, WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN!" Yu shrieked, only to find Medaka gone. "You perverts! ALL OF YOU ARE PERVERTS!"

Thus the pot calling the kettle black, no matter how much she didn't want to admit it.


[UW Japan Branch, the next day]

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building was once home to the Japanese Government. It is a towering skyscraper that consists of three differently-sized structures, each taking up a city block. Now it is the headquarters of United Women Japan, a major government branch of United Women Global that answers to the latter.

It was there in the front of her massive building that the founding members of MAELSTROM were standing. While Medaka, Chisato, and Yu were dressed in business attire with black suits, white collar shirts, and red ties; Naruto was dressed in a black business suit with an orange tie and Assassin-style hood over his head, along with a pair of orange sunglasses and black face mask.

"All the hardcore feminists must have celebrated after taking over this building." Naruto mused as they entered the site. "Along with the White House and Buckingham Palace, I bet."

"Pfft, it didn't last long, with the Reavers and all invading; and realizing they're responsible for the safety of the survivors." Yu said, glaring at the surrounding security to keep their eyes away from their guest. "It was a hassle driving them out to build the walls."

"Hmm, I'll say." Naruto hummed as they entered the elevator.

As they rode up, Naruto took a look outside, frowning at what he was seeing. Tokyo was an uneven patchwork of futuristic areas and smoking slums, due to the fact that the areas around the UW facilities looked much nicer, and the slums were the result of past Reaver attacks. He clicked his tongue as the elevator arrived at its destination.

"I'm guessing you all had trouble because you were dealing with the same gender." Naruto mused as they walked down the hall, passing curious onlookers.

"They stonewalled us at every turn. And we weren't in the position to further decrease the human population." Yu growled out with a tickmark. "This is why I hate humans…"

"But with you back, MAELSTROM will finally have the upper hand." Medaka said, sharing a smirk with the others.

Aran and his Zero Squad were currently in the room with the Seven Ministers of UW Japan.

The first was the Minister of State, Kihara, an elderly woman with gray hair who's a veteran government official with years of experience. She is the de-facto leader of the group.

The second was the Minister of Technology, Gijutsu Chōkan, a woman with rough hot pink hair, sharp features, and a nasty gleam in her blue irises. She is in charge of science and technology research, as well as maintenance.

The third was the Minister of Public Welfare, Minsei Chōkan, a woman with light brown shaggy hair and brown eyes. She is in charge of food rationing and population management.

The fourth was the Minister of General Affairs, Shuto, a young woman with blonde hair tied up in a bun, and blue eyes. She was in charge of public relations and matters. At the moment, she was applying lipstick with the help of a small pocket mirror.

The fifth was the Minister of Justice, Shihō Chōkan, who was an elderly woman like Kihara, with years of experience in the Justice Department of the old world; being in charge of judicial matters and public order.

While the first five were in charge of the people and their welfare, the last two were tasked with securing the Walled City from the Reavers, inside and out.

The sixth was the Minister of (Absolute) Defense, Hida Reiri, a young 24-year-old woman with long back hair and dark blue eyes. Her task was the defense of the Walls, and making sure no Reaver set one foot into the city. And if they do, they don't make it out alive.

The seventh and final was the Minister of Military Affairs, Orimura Chimuyu, another young woman the same age as Reiri with black hair and brown eyes. Her assignment was recruiting women, making sure that there are female soldiers ready and willing to fight the Reavers, along with any foreign entity.

Just because the world is now run by women doesn't mean that foreign tension has vanished around the world, and speaking of tension…

Right now, the air was thick with tension between the two groups, as Kihara had her eyes narrowed at the squad. She was further annoyed that none of them were paying her any mind, not concerned about the consequences of their actions.

"I've always said that we should've had them on a tighter leash." Gijutsu said with a predatory gaze at Zero. "After all we've done for them."

"Not interested in being your little sub-boy, Gijutsu." Aran quipped as he glared at the assembled women. He noticed his white-haired member clicking up her blade, and put a hand on her shoulder. "It's all right, Chou'un. They're not going to do anything. After all, they know the public would raise holy-hell if they tried to do anything untoward to 'The Hero of Tokyo'."

"...Very well." she murmured after a pause, resetting her blade.

"Enough, Gijutsu. That is not the issue at hand here," Kihara said with a narrowed glare at the scientist. "It doesn't matter what the Zero Squad does as long as it doesn't interfere in UW affairs. Our concern is the fact that you, Zero, delivered the surviving male into MAELSTROM hands. Yes, Hasegawa Chisato requested your assistance, but the male falls under our jurisdiction. You of all people should know how valuable your gender is right now, yes?"

"I assure you, MAELSTROM is more than capable of making sure the 'asset' is taken care of. Besides, you know that I honor my contracts. What would I be without the value of my word? Is it not the way of Japan that our honor is upheld? Or is that just another 'relic' of the old male driven society that I'm sure you all adore." Zero stressed the last word with as much sarcasm as he could muster.

Most of the Ministers blanched and looked even more annoyed at Aran's choice of words. As much as they didn't want to admit it, he was right.

"Spicy, but I assure you Zero that not all of us are angry at you," Reiri spoke up while raising her hands. "It's been a chore to convince everyone here that you and MAELSTROM are necessary. Not all of us have lost our honor. At least, most of us…"

She glared at Gijutsu as she spoke the last part, with the Chōkan waving her off.

"I understand the concept of honor, Hida-san. But trust and loyalty-" Kihara started to say.

"Is a two way street." a voice said as the door opened.

Medaka entered the room, followed by Chisato and Yu. Medaka was looking smug, with Chisato being serene, and Yu glaring at everyone; the latter with a hidden limp.

Medaka smiled at Aran before continuing. "Sure we could've done it ourselves in retrieving the male, but Chisato made the right call. Aran was the best one to inform our new guest of the situation." she said and nodded to him. "You have our thanks."

"Not a problem. I hope his 'defrosting' was pleasant." he replied with a knowing look.

"Pleasant, my ass." Yu grumbled, discreetly rubbing her ass.

"Pretty sure it was to him…" Aran muttered loud enough for all the girls on the floor to hear.

A now murderous Yu zoned in on Aran, but Chisato chopped the back of her neck, partially knocking her out. She fell into Chisato's arms, dizzy-eyed. "Waahhhhhh."

"She's always so angry." Mikoto noted with a sweatdrop.

"Yeah, both you and Rei would get along well." Yoko laughed, elbowing her. "I'm surprised you didn't already with all your anger issues."

"WHAT WAS THAT?!" they yelled at Yoko, who whistled innocently.

"Oh, my ears!" Shuto whined, clapping her hands on her ears. "My delicate ears!"

"Enough!" Kihara snapped sharply. "Kurokami-san, Hasegawa-san, why did you overstep your boundaries? What's so special about this male that you have to keep him for yourselves for one night?"

Chisato smirked and adjusted her glasses. "Ask him yourself!" she said and knocked at the frame of the door.

On cue, Uzumaki Naruto stepped through the door while taking off his glasses and mask. As soon as he cleared the door, he took off his hood. "Hello ladies…and gent."

The Seven Ministers, once looking proud and secure in their power, now looked as if they had the fear of Buddha put into them. Most of them looked as if they wanted to deny reality itself, that the man before them didn't have the signature blonde hair, blue eyes, and whisker-marks of the person that had a nonaggression pact with most of the world's major powers.

"Well, well, well. You did 'thaw' nicely." Aran said as he walked up and shook the blonde's hand.

"Hell yeah. It was quite a pleasurable experience." Naruto chuckled, returned the handshake. "And for better or worse, I'm back."

"Well, damn. He looked better off the bed. He's looking more like the fabled Strongest Creature on the Planet." Rika mused as the others were finding amusement in the reactions of the Ministers.

Kihara was frozen in shock. Gijutsu's mouth was agape. Minsei was rubbing her eyes to make sure they were working properly. Shuto dropped her lipstick, her mirror shattering onto the floor. Shihō was looking as fearful as a mouse. Reiri was pointing at him, making random noises. And Chifuyu, she was frowning in an attempt to mask her surprise.

With a chuckle, the blonde made his way to the sofa across from the Minister and plopped himself down, sitting lazily and rested his feet on the table. Medaka and Chisato joined him, with Chisato resting a still dizzy-eyed Yu on her lap.

Aran and company decided to move to the side and watch the fireworks with great anticipation. A group of somebodies were about to get knocked down a few pegs.

"So tell me ladies… how can I be of assistance to save mankind, and deal with the Reavers?" Naruto asked smugly, producing an apple with Creation of all Things and taking a bite with a shit-eating grin on his face. "I'm listening…"

To be continued…


Special thanks to Castlecrasher009 for the beta, Aran, the idea of using Reavers from Firefly and Serenity.

Also special thanks to AmusedLight and Kenichi Narukami on my Discord server for coming up with the names of the terrorist group pre-dating the main storyline.

This was a LONG time coming.

This chapter takes place six months before Patient One wakes up.

There'll be a lemon scene in this chapter once this story is released.

Crossovers for days.

Naruto's notoriety is on par with Yujiro Hanma from Baki; all the power and feats, minus the personality.

The bus is the Fortnite Battle Bus that is currently drivable as of this writing.

There will be a couple more origin chapters before the main storyline hits.

Aran's origins will be revealed in later chapters.

Any and all suggestions for this concept are welcome!


[Before the Meeting]

At the Tokyo Skytree, Medaka and Chisato were positively glowing as they ate their breakfast. The impromptu welcome back party for Naruto was a night to remember, as they were stuffed to the brim by the end of it. It was a good thing that they weren't in a neighborhood, or else Naruto's cover would be blown.

That and the sexually-repressed women would want in on the action and cause one hell of a horny riot.

"Good…morning…"

Medaka and Chisato looked over to see Yu dragging her sore body across the kitchen with a walking stick, holding her ass.

"You know you could just drink Naruto-kun's blood." Medaka said, pointing at her with her chopsticks.

"I would if he wasn't out exercising and using Reavers as target practice!" Yu snapped at her. "He nearly broke my ass!"

"Who was the one that begged Naruto to quote "Destroy my ass!"? Because it wasn't one of us." Chisato quipped, with Yu throwing a dirty look at her. "I, on the other hand-"

"We know. You prefer Shadow Clone gangbangs." Yu growled as she made it to the table. "The best part of this is that we finally won't be alone in satisfying our leader's needs."

Medaka laughed. "I don't know, Yu-chan. There's someone out there who'll be able to outdo you and ask for more than two cocks in their ass."

"Guh, I regret everything about that." Yu mumbled, slamming her head on the table.

"Worry not, Consort Yu. You are right about one thing. Because of what needs to be done in repopulating the world, we won't be alone in that endeavor." Chisato said, caressing her stomach, with Yu groaning in agreement at that.

Around the world, many women sneezed and wondered who was talking about them.

Except for one…who was watching with amusement…

From the moon.
