Hello everyone I'm back once again to bring you a brand new story; apparently people are flipping the fuck out about this and want this story to be made so I'm gonna make it.

Maybe 20 to 30 chapters since I don't want to make another long series since I wanna do other stuff; this story will have various inspirations (including and not limited to: Left 4 Dead, Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare, State of Decay, Dawn of the Dead, The Walking Dead, Shaun of the dead and 28 Days later, world war z and Dead Rising. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this and with nothing else to say lets begin.

Naruto's Undead Nightmare: Chapter 1

Land of Waves; On the Bridge: With Naruto, Kakashi, Haku and Zabuza

Naruto Uzumaki, the hyperactive knucklehead ninja from Konoha had very big dreams; he wanted to be Hokage, respected by the village and wanted to win the heart of his pink haired teammate Sakura Haruno.

But now all that was nearly gone as he stood on the bridge with his sensei's Lightning Blade in his chest; Naruto coughed out blood as it caked his sensei's arm. Kakashi was wide eyed in horror as he saw the whole thing but couldn't stop it; Naruto had jumped through Haku's ice mirror before he could close it and appeared out of it.

Naruto took the blow originally meant to kill Zabuza, as Kakashi's hand pierced through his right chest, through his lung and out his back. Everyone was shocked at what he did; Kakashi was having flashbacks, Haku had his mouth handing open in horror, Zabuza was frozen in place not taking the opportunity to strike.

"K-Kakashi sensei" Naruto stuttered out "d-don't kill them, d-d-don't, d-d-"; Naruto fell backwards and Kakashi not wanting to take his hand out of his chest went with him

"NARUTO" Kakashi shouted as he landed on top of Naruto; Naruto began to cough up more blood and began to shake "you idiot, why did you do that, why, why?"

"Oh god Naruto" Haku shouted as he knelt down to the ground next to Kakashi; Haku looked at him and spoke "I-I-I need to stop the bleeding; I'll use my ice". Kakashi nodded in a panic and Haku continued "lift him up and slowly pull your hand out" he said; Kakashi nodded and just as Haku ordered, he began to pull his hand out of Naruto.

Naruto began to scream as this happened and Haku began to work fast; Haku froze the exit wound sealing it and preventing more blood from leaking out. Kakashi continued pulling his hand out and Haku's ice began to fill the hole in Naruto's chest.

Naruto's world began to fade as this happened until Kakashi's hand was completely out of his chest; now with ice sealing his wound Kakashi laid him on the ground.

"What the hell did you do that for?" Zabuza shouted at Haku; Zabuza, no longer focused on fighting pointed at Naruto with his one good arm "the kid has a grapefruit sized hole in his chest, he's going to die".

"No, he won't" Kakashi said looking at Zabuza "Naruto's… 'tenant', won't let him die; we just need to get him to a hospital and-".

"What the hell is this?" Came a voice and everyone turned; at the edge of the incomplete bridge stood Gato and an army of mercenaries "Zabuza you failure; I told you to kill them".

"Gato" Zabuza said narrowing his eyes.

Naruto was laying on the ground not even able to tell what was going on; the words from Kakashi, Haku and Zabuza seemed like nothing more than incoherent noise. Naruto looked up at the sky and saw nothing but clouds as the blood loss began to take it's effect on him 'huh… so is this what dying feels like?' Naruto thought 'it feels really… cold'. Naruto's eyes closed and the world went black.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Naruto's eyes opened enough to see the ceiling of a room but everything seemed blurry 'how long have I been out… why can't I move' Naruto thought as he tried to move; he felt like he had sleep paralysis as his mind worked but his limbs and voice didn't.

Suddenly three figures appeared over him; his teammates Sasuke, Sakura and Kakashi's sensei were looking down at him. They all began to talk but to Naruto their voices seemed to be like echoes mixed with bad t.v reception.

'Why can't we stay until he's awake?" Sasuke asked "I mean, how long will he stay like this?"

"I don't know Sasuke" Kakashi said "could be another few weeks, maybe a month.

"I don't feel right just leaving him here" Sakura said looking down "I mean… can Mr.Tazuna and Tsunami take care of him?"

"We'll come back for him when we report in to the Hokage, Sakura" Kakashi said "it'll only take a few days with the bridge complete". Kakashi leaned down to Naruto and gave him an eye smile "hang on tight Naruto; we'll be back in a few days to pick you up when your more stable" he said "and I'll make sure to get you some ramen from that restaurant you like".

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

"Make sure to get me extra pork belly" Naruto said absently at the ceiling; he waited for a response but didn't hear any "Kakashi sensei?"; Naruto turned his head to both sides and saw no one there. Naruto used his hands to slowly push himself up, he felt his muscles and bones ache, especially in his chest; Naruto looked down and saw he was only wearing his boxers and had a large bandage wrapped around his chest. Naruto lifted the bandage and saw a large circular scar on his chest where Kakashi's Lightning blade pierced him.

'Huh… how'd it heal so fast?' Naruto thought as he began to move but felt a tug on his left arm; Naruto saw he had an I.V in his arm which was connected to a bag. But the bad was nearly empty. Naruto swung his legs around and upon spinning he saw he was in a room; but it wasn't any room, it was Inari's room back in Tazuna's house, he could tell by the toys and the pictures on the wall.

Naruto put his feet on the freezing cold floor and stood on shaky legs; he looked to the door to the room and began to walk over to it 'oh man, I feel like crap' he thought. Naruto placed his hand on the door and turned the knob; there was a loud 'click' and Naruto realized that the lock to the door was engaged.

Naruto opened the door and he immediately began to panic and shake uncontrollably; the hallway he was looking at was covered floor to ceiling in blood. On the door he just opened there were multiple bloody hand prints and on the floor laid the corpse of Tsunami, the daughter of Tazuna.

Tsunami was covered in blood with her shirt ripped open revealing the open cavity there her chest and stomach should be; her eyes were glazed over and her skin was grey meaning she's been dead for a while.

Naruto closed the door, locked it and look to the side where there was a trashcan; Naruto fell to his knees and threw up into the trashcan but there was nothing in his stomach.

"T-t-the fuck… What the fuck!?" Naruto said in a panicking voice; Naruto looked around and tried to find something to use as a weapon. Naruto spotted a wooden 'priest' leaning against a casting net and he crawled over and grabbed it; the 'priest' was a small wooden club used for dispatching fish when caught. It was two feet long, two inches in circumference, weighed two pounds or so and had a rope at the bottom to wrap around the wrist.

"Ok, Naruto, ok; get your ass in gear" he said as he got to his feet; Naruto walked over to the door and opened it once more, gripping the small club in his hand. Naruto saw Tsunami again as she laid on the ground and he slowly scooted around her as to not see her corpse; Naruto walked down the hallway listening closely for any noises for the intruders who killed Tsunami.

Naruto reached the end of the hall and saw the stairs leading to the ground floor; walking barefoot down the creaky wooden stairs, Naruto got ready for who ever was down there. Naruto listened for anything and he heard the sound of chewing.

'Sick bastard' Naruto thought 'this guys killed Ms.Tsunami and is eating now; where the hell is Tazuna and Inari?'; Naruto continued walking down the stairs until he reached the bottom and turned towards the noise.

Naruto became confused as he saw Inari sitting in the middle of the room apparently eating something; Naruto was dumbfounded as the boys mother was laying dead upstairs and he was oblivious.

"Inari, what are you doing?" Naruto said and the chewing stopped; Naruto swallowed hard and spoke "listen Inari, don't go upstairs ok; there's… it's… where's your grandpa?"; Inari slowly began to turn around and Naruto continued. "We need help and-" Naruto began but stopped as Inari fully turned around.

Inari's eyes were wide and blood shot, his skin was pale and his mouth was covered in blood; but what was most shocking was the large bite mark that was on his left cheek, just below his eye.

Inari got up and a round object fell from his lap and Naruto felt his soul leave his body. Tazuna's head rolled a few feet away and half of his face was missing; Naruto then realized that Inari was eating his grandfathers head.

"Inari? What the fu-" Naruto began but before he could finish Inari let out a primal and screeching yell before charging at Naruto at full speed from across the room. Naruto acting on pure terror and instinct swung the 'priest' at Inari's head making a wet 'smack' sound echo through the room as Inari flew into a nearby wooden table.

Inari hit the corner of the table temple first, causing his skull to be pushed in; Inari fell to the floor stayed there and Naruto began to shake in terror.

"F-f-fuck, what the fuck?" Naruto thought in panic as he walked back and into the wall before sliding down 'I-I just killed Inari… but-'. Naruto looked over to Tazuna's head and began to shake 'he…he was eating his own grandpa'; suddenly it hit Naruto like a ton of bricks 'did Inari kill Tsunami too?'

Naruto slowly got back to his feet and walked over to Inari for a closer look; the boys cloths were dirty and torn, he was missing his left sandal with the skin on the bottom of his foot nearly gone. His mouth was full of blood, flesh and broken teeth; what was more weird was that his blood wasn't red, it was more blackish. His eyes were blood shot, his fingernails were broken and dirty and there was a horrid smell coming from him; Naruto looked behind Inari and saw a large brown stain running from the back of his pants and down his leg. Inari was shitting in his own pants.

Naruto gagged and looked away 'oh god, this is so sick' Naruto thought as he walked to the kitchen sink; Naruto once again dry heaved into the sink and coughed. Naruto looked to the side and saw a clean drinking glass; Naruto grabbed it and turned on the faucet filling it with water. Naruto downed the water in one go and began to breath heavily; Naruto refilled it again, and again as he didn't realize how thirsty he was.

Naruto finished four cups of water before his stomach rumbled; looking around Naruto saw some bowls of food and he walked over before stopping. The food consisting of fish, rice and soup was now green from mold and had maggots on it; this clue clicked in Naruto's mind as proof that it's been there for a while. Shaking this from his head he looked around before finding what he was looking for; a bowl of three apples on a shelf.

Naruto walked over and took one biting into it not even tasting it; Naruto ate all the apples in the span of two minuted before wiping his mouth. Naruto was still panicking internally and began to figure out what to do

"I-I need to find someone" Naruto said to himself as he turned back to the living room where Inari and Tazuna's head laid "I gotta go and get the cops".

……

The next 30 minutes to Naruto was like a blur; Naruto found his backpack and gotten dressed faster than he ever thought he could. Naruto was now wearing an extra pair of his trademark orange jumpsuits and had his forehead protector tied back on; he also put on his shuriken holster on his right leg and his kunai pouch on the back of his pants just above his right back pocket.

In his backpack were his extra kunai and shuriken, exploding tags, ninja wire, and a Fuma Shuriken; along with that stuff Naruto also had other things inside his backpack. Cups of ramen, a campfire kettle, a bulk box of water/wind proof matches, a small medical kit, a rain poncho, Iodine tablets, his two quart water bottle which was empty and a sharpening stone. On the outside of the backpack was his sleeping bag wrapped in a canvas tarp; while looking around the house Naruto found three plastic canteens that'll hold a quart of water each.

Naruto filled up his water bottle along with the canteens with water from the sink and put them in his back pack; all together his bag weighed about 20 lbs in total. Before Naruto left the house he used the toilet as he knew the walk to the village was going to be a while; upon exiting the restroom Naruto put on his back pack and walked to the front door.

Naruto took a deep breath and undid the deadbolt before opening the door; upon opening the door something came down towards him.

"GAAH" Naruto shouted as he jumped out of the way as the object hit the floor; Naruto realized what he was looking at as what was left of Tazuna's chewed up body laid in front of him "oh fuck me". Naruto pulled the corpse in further and walked around it before closing the door 'Inari, Tazuna, Tsunami' Naruto thought 'I don't know what happened; but I'll find help'.

Naruto turned and began to run down the road towards the village; running at full speed he should be there in thirty minutes, although he was taking it slow due to his wounds. As he ran down the road Naruto felt his chest and his still wrapped wound; it felt tender but nearly fully healed.

'Huh, who would've thought I'd recover from a wound like that?' Naruto thought 'maybe having a demon fox in me isn't as bad as I thought?'; Naruto was so caught up in his thoughts that he almost missed seeing a group of people down the road. Naruto stopped and smiled 'finally, help' he thought as he raised his hands to his mouth "HEY, I NEED HELP".

The group of people stopped and Naruto continued "SOMETHING HAPPENED AT TAZUNA'S HOUSE; I NEED HELP" he shouted; the crowd of people, Naruto had to guess about forty or so began to walk towards him. Naruto smile quickly vanished when the group began to sprint towards him screeching and groaning just like how Inari did.

"Oh fuck" Naruto said his jaw dropping; upon further inspection Naruto was that the people running towards him were not normal. Some were fully clothed, some were naked, some were missing arms, some were missing their nose and lips; there were men, women, elderly and children of all ages.

And they were running towards him.

"OH FUCK" Naruto shouted as he made a hand sign "Shadow Clone Jutsu"; Naruto waited for the 'poof' and the appearance of his clones. But nothing happened, "SHADOW CLONE JUTSU" Naruto shouted again with he same result 'my jutsu isn't working!'

This delay caused Naruto precious seconds as the group was now only a couple dozen yards away; Naruto in a panic reached into his pouch and threw a volley of six kunai at the people. The kunai hit their marks as he was aiming for their legs and six people stumbled for a moment; but to Naruto's horror they did not react to it as they kept on running.

Naruto spun around and began to run back the direction he came in "What the hell is the matter with you people" Naruto shouted in terror as he rushed full speed ahead. Naruto ran so fast that he reached Tazuna's house faster than he thought; Naruto looked towards the nearby water and saw the dock where he rescued Tsunami and Inari from those two mercenaries sent by Gato. Naruto went wide eyed and saw a small boat tied to the edge of the pier.

Naruto peeled off the path and ran down towards the dock with the rabid people hot on his heels; they were maybe fifty yards away but to Naruto it felt like inches. Naruto saw the rope holding tying the boat to the dock and he took out a shuriken; with a good throw the shuriken flew through the air and cut the rope and the boat began to drift away slightly.

Naruto was close enough to where he charged his chakra to his feet and jumped through the air towards the boat; Naruto leapt several yards and landed in the boat nearly capsizing it but corrected himself. Naruto threw off his back pack and turned around towards the motor; Naruto didn't know anything about boat motors but he saw a switch that said 'On and Off' and he switched it to and an a red light came on.

Now with the people only thirty yards away the red light went away and a yellow light came on that said 'Crank'; Naruto looked around and saw a rope with a handle and realized what to do. Naruto pulled the handle and the motor sputtered; the people were now running on the dock towards him.

"Come on" Naruto shouted as he pulled again and the engine almost turned over; the people were still coming and Naruto grit his teeth "turn on you bitch". Naruto pulled again and this time the engine sputtered to life; Naruto grabbed the stick handle of the motor and found the throttle.

Naruto gunned it just as one of the people jumped off the dock towards the boat; the crazy man missed the boat and Naruto began to rush across the water panting heavily.

"Oh Kami, oh Kami, oh Kami" Naruto repeated as he looked behind himself as the crazy people jumped into the water after him.

20 minutes later

Naruto sat in the boat with the engine turned off as he finally found what he was looking for; Naruto found Tazuna's bridge and was awestruck at what he saw. The bridge that he and his team had spent so much time trying to defend was destroyed; the middle of the bridge was blown apart with nearly a hundred or so yards of it missing.

In the water there were dead bodied and scattered limbs that floated around aimlessly "what is this?" Naruto said to himself; Naruto balled his fist and hit himself in the head "wake up, wake up". Naruto felt the sting of the blow but nothing happened, Naruto pulled out a kunai and poked the sharp tip into his finger; the sting only lasted for a moment and Naruto pulled out the blade and saw the blood trickle down his finger.

"Is this real?" Naruto said to himself as he looked at his bleeding finger; Naruto grabbed his backpack, opened it up and took out the medical kit. Naruto cleaned his finger and put a bandaid on it "I need to get to Konoha, I gotta warn everyone of what's happening here" Naruto said.

Naruto looked at the engine and opened a cap and looked inside; in the fuel tank there was three quarters of a tank left "alright, it took us two hours by boat to get here; I hope this is enough" Naruto said as he closed it back up. Naruto looked at the boat and saw some oars in the front "because rowing this thing will suck" he said; Naruto started up the engine and began to speed along the bridge, using it as a guide towards land.

"Hold on guy, I'm coming back" Naruto said with determination as he sped through the scattered corpses in the water.

Unbeknownst to Naruto, while he was in his coma; the world he knew had ended… and a nightmare began.
