Present:

"So, I believe we're almost there." Shisui Uchiha sat perched on a tree branch as his team arrived towards the edge of the Land of Waves. A purplish blue mist like barrier stood infront of them. Now he me not be as brilliant as his younger cousin, he figured this strange phenomenon might be an indicator that they were getting close to their desination "So it seems." Itachi replied in a montone voice.

"Not sure what it is but it isn't made of chakra. And it seems to stretch beyond the limit of my Byakugan. I also have trouble piercing though it." Hinata Hyuuga looked at the wall in front of them with her special eyes under her mask. "I've never seen anything like it." They looked at their leader who cupped his chin in a thinking pose. Shisui and Hinata could practically feel the look of concentration underneath his weasel mask. He stood up straight, then a poof smoke appeared and another Weasel Anbu appeared. It dropped from the tree and approached the phenomenon.

As the clone got closer, it streched out its arm towards the mist. Everyone watched as the mist seem as a small wisp of the fog wrapped itself around the clones arms. It seemed to beckon it inside. The clone proceeded and pretty soon the clone had vanished into the kist. After a few seconds Itachi nodded his head "Not sure what this wall is but it doesn't seem to be harmful. There also doesn't seem to be anything different on the other side. Same weather, same trees, same path. My clone on the other side confirmed that." He sat and gathered his thoughts once more before confirming.

"We head inside." were his final words as he dropped from the tree along with his team. They stepped into the fog and walked for a second and a half before they emerged on the other side. As their squad leader stated, everything seemed to be normal. The same blue sky, the same green trees and grass. Even the sounds of the forest seemd to normal. 'Then why do I still feel on edge?' Itachi wondered as he looked over to his cousin. He was on alert as well. He head would flicker towards the slightest disturbances in the bushes and leaves above them. His love wasn't any calmer than them. She was almost perfectly still, slightly turning her head left and right. With one hand on the hilt of her sword and a kunai in her other hand. He knew her enough to recognize when she was scanning the area with her doujutsu for the slightest movement.

"Over there!" Hinata pointed towards a direction of the woods. "It's...was a mansion. It's in ruins." She stated as she deactivated her Byakugan. She jumped into the trees and moved foward. She didn't bother waiting as she knew her squad would be right behind her. "How bad is it?" Her spiky haired friend asked. "It's bad. Not sure what happened, but there is a lot of destruction. I'm also seeing...bodies?"

"You hesitated. Why did you hesitate?" Shisui asked very concerned that she hesitated on the word bodies. Even with the mask on he could tell she was unnerved. "I'm not to sure myself. Some of them are moving around while others are just motionless. However their chakra system seems to be corrupted in some way."

"Corrupted?" Itachi asked this time. He stared at his love and teammate awaiting her explanation He could tell she was unnerved by what she was seeing. He became familiar with her body language since he saved her from Tadayori, who used the guise of peace negotiations between Konoha and Kumo to infiltrate the Hyuuga Compound.

Hinata thought for a second before responding. "The movement I am seeimg shouldn't be possible. The chakra pathways are insanely damaged but.. whatever it is, I'm seeing, is keeping them operating. Other's chakra systems seemed to be completely destoryed." she said uneasily "Yet what is essentially supposed to be a still corpse, is moving."

The two Uchihas took in the words they were just told. This was new territory for all of them. sure they were some of the best Anbu teams out their, but walking dead? They didn't like this one bit.

'This isn't ideal. We have no idea what we're up against. We gotta stay on gaurd.' Itachi thought to himself before he looked at Hinata. "Lead the way" he told her, unnerved by the new information he had received. He followed her up into the trees with Shisui right behind them. It didn't take them long to arrive at their destination. She wasn't lying when she said it was a mansion. Parts of the roof had collapsed while other parts of the mansion had the walls destoryed showing the rooms inside. Smoldering ashes flew across the air from the fire that seemed to burn forever. One of the burning balconies collapsed under its own weight after the fire had finished burning through its supports. Bodies littered the floor in the courtyard of the mansion leading towards the entrance, while several others littered the roof and windows. Shisui and Itachi used the Sharigans and noticed an odd blue particles that seemed to slowly spread out into the woods.

"Kami, what could've caused this?" Itachi asked out loud. Shisui stared at the carnage in shock.

"Talk about hell on earth."

Hinata stared on ahead as the wind blew through her long hair. She surveyed the area with her Byakugan. "Where did all those signals come from?"

They made their way through the remains of the mansion looking for anything to see if this was a threat that caused this needed to be neutralized. Hinata headed down below to what looked like a celler, while Shisui went to the 2nd floor and Itachi took the main floor.

She entered and her eyes fell upon a strange device. It was a small rectangular object with a couple of buttons and an antenna sticking out on one side. In the middle, there seemed to be a small screen of sorts. Hinata spent a few seconds fiddling with her new discovery when she pushed a button on the side causing it to spring to life. On the screen she saw a small circle with a pulsating ring that spread towards the edges of the screen. "A radar?" she mummered

The radar didn't seem to locate anything, yet the light on the radar flashed faster when facing a certain direction. "Maybe I'm not close enough to whatever its looking for?" she pocketed the device and headed back to her team to show them her discovery.


Shisui wandered the halls of the 2nd floor avoiding the eviscerated corpses that littered the hall floors. "Sheesh this is disgusting." He exclaimed as he steped around the blood and guts. before he noticed a door broken leading into a destroyed room with writing from the wall.

A GREAT EVIL APPROACHES

"That's comforting. Totally not freaking out." he muttered to himself. He looked around the room unsure of what he was looking for. Everything seemed normal, for the state of destruction the room was in. It looked like any other room he'd find. That when he looked at the table amd noticed something. He cocked his head in confusion as he stared at a small radio that was left out in the open, untouched. He picked it up and started inspecting it. 'Personal radio. Maybe Gatou using it to keep track of his business deals?' He clicked the button after a bit of feedback he heard a voice.

"My name is Zabuza Momo-" Shisui clicked the radio once more pausing the audio log "Well what do we have here." seems he stumbled into the big guys quarters. He searched the place for anything intresting but found nothing until his eyes landed on a small hole in the wall. He inspected and deduced that something small flew through as the hole went straight through the other side. "Hmm, thats odd. sould get back to the others


Itachi had found Gatou's private study. It used to be a nice study with extravagent decorations. Now it was all destoryed with the wall being covered in blood and gore. That and the body stuck under one of the fallen over bookshelves. He rummaged through the still standing file cabinets for any clues as to what they maybe be up against. He made sure to pocket all paperwork the retained his banking information. "Better all this money goes to a use than sitting for a dead man to claim it. He continued searching drawers and file cabinets for any other useful information when he stumbled upon a certain delivery traching sheet. He read through the paper and one of the shipments disturbed him greatly.

PRIORITY TASK

This is a highly valuble resource that must be handled with upmost care. Any damages or injuries caused due to poor handling of the shipment will result in TERMINATION.

Product: Element 115

Locations: Kumo, Suna, Iwa, Mizu, Kiri, Konoha, and Oto. More potenial delivery location will be given soon

Price: 1000000 ryo per box of 115

He read the lines with great concern. Whatever this 115 is, must be valuable. Not just because of the price for a single crate but because it was only being shipped to hidden villages. "It must have some military use if it is being sold only to ninja." Itachi was aware of the existence of 115 but had no idea what it did.

He pulled out a map to see where to head towards after they finished their little raid of the ruins. 'So based of our entrance way of the wave... move southeast and we should be there in about a 30 minutes full speed.' He heard footsteps behind him and turned to see his squad. "Find anything?"

Hinata reached into her pouch and pulled out the radar she found. "I believe this is some kind of locating device. it has a radar and the light flashing increases when in proximity, I think." she answered. Shisui took his turn to speak once she finished.

"These seem to be Zabuza's audio logs. They might be able to tell us what exactly happened here. The Hokage was right though, this mission is a lot mor-

*creaking, snap*

The sound of a charred wooden plank snaping caught their attention. Amongst the smoke and rubble the noticed a figure stumbling around, making their way towards them. "Hey are you alright do you need any assi-" Itachi stopped his sentence once the figure came into view

A man, or what used to be one, stumbled its way towards them. It's blueish white cargo jacket was stained in blood starting from it's left shoulder spreading from there as it had no arm. The bone where the arm snapped off was sticking out, blood dripping from the sharpened tip. It's ankle seemed twisted which didn't help as it seemed it's empty Katana holster wasn't helping it's balance. This caused it to trip on itself before catching itself. It lifted its head to reveal a pale face, glowing red eyes and a lipless mouth with blood stained decayed teeth. The purple bandana on its head was ripped showing off its exposed skull underneath.

"What the fuck!?" Shisui said for everyone as the watched the corpse shamble its way to them before stopping. Suddenly, it grabbed its head and looked up screaming.

"HUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHH"

The three of them drew their weapons and took a step back as it charged towards them. Itachi wasted no time in slicing off its head causing it to fall over, but not before it still attempteda couple of swings before dropping. The once empty and quiet ruins were now full of screams. Their heads all snapped in different directions only to he met with the sight of glowing red eyes and a bunch of corpses now making their way towards them. "We're leaving now!" the rushed outside putting down zombies that tried to block their path. Once outside the made their ways into the trees to avoid being on the floor much longer.

Shisui reached into his pouch for a kunai when he felt something else in his pouch. "What the?" an L shape object now resided in his pouch. Colt M1911 was engraved in its side. "What even is this?" he did get to to ponder any further as his cousin shouted orders.

"This way! We need to regroup with Team 7 immediately!"

Hinata threw an explosive kunai at the growng horde below as the attempted to climb up as well. "Of all times for Cat to request PTO! Which way are we going!"

"If i read the map right it should be-" a distant explosion was heard before Itachi could give a direction. Althought it didn't matter since it came from where they needed to go.

"Follow the sound of the explosion!"


Sakura and Satuski were working fast trying to patch up holes in the sail of the boat they had selected. Satsuki ducked down as a limb flew over her head. Sakura tried her best to ignore all that was going on to keep her head focused. They had unsealed the laundry they found and started to patch up tears. It was crude, sloppy, and overall a terrible repair but it would have to do. They didnt need to sail forever, just enough to get out. Kakashi and Haku were busy trying to erect the broken mast once more. Kakashi was using water clones to help lift the mast so Haku could freeze it back together. Naruto himself was using his chakra chains to help lift it off the ground, while a about 30 Naruto's held the horde back. They're numbers would drop and Naruto would immediately replace them. However, even if they were making good progress he was getting tired. He couldn't keep this up for much longer. With a loud bang the mast was postioned. Kakashi used a low level water jutsu the wrapped around the cracks which were quickly frozen solid by Haku.

The chains retracted towards Naruto, who nearly fell to exhaustion. "Look out!" Sakura yelled as she watched a water dragon emerge from the water. It seemed to be struggling to maintain it's form, and even its glowing yellow eyes would flash in and out of existence. Everyone watched in horror as the dragon rushed them before it's form broke apart resulting in splashing the crew. After moving some wet hair out of her eyes, Satsuki's sharingan spotted it. "Over there!" The Uchiha pointed towards the one of the destroyed boats. There stood a zombie Zabuza holding up the tori hand sign before its arms dropped. It hung its arms at its side for a few seconds before he reached for its sword and roared.

'It's learning!' everyone came to the realization as the undead Zabuza charged forward. Purple chains burst through the floor attempting to grab the zombie. It dodged a couple before it was grabbed and quickly slammed it back towards the buildings. Kakashi rushed in as Haku dropped down towards the other two. "Let's go after this we activate the light house to guide us through this fog!" That snapped them out of it as all fours got to work while Kakashi fought Zabuza along with 6 other Naruto clones.

Kakashi met the zombified Zabuza head on. He threw a couple of kunai as a distraction which didn't work as he hoped. The corpse lifted up its arm infront of its head and blocked the ones aiming for his head with its arm, embedding a few kunai in its. Zabuza swung it's sword horizontally in order to cut him in half. Kakashi jumped and landed the blade before he kicked with both feet at its head causing it to fly back. It skid to a halt before it was met with the bottom of Naruto's foot, causing it to slide back once more. It jerked it's body forward before Kakashi punched the corpse in the face before pulling out a kunai from it's arms and attempted to stab its head. The zombie dodged it and grabbed the arm before slamming him into a Naruto clone causing it to dissappear in a poof as smoke. Before it could follow up, another clone attempted to slash him with a kunai. It ducked under the slash and kicked him away. Not wanting to let the corpse off that easy he tried to fire his sawed off shotgun at the corpse. Zabuza tried to get out of the way but was still hit in the arm, shredding the flesh to the bone but not removing it. It threw its head back and roared for a sec before Naruto shot it once more. It dodged by jumping the side where Kakashi waited. The copy ninja shoved a kunai into its stomach before planting the barrel of his revolver into the zombies mouth and pulled the trigger causing a green flash.

"I'm good to go over here! How are you guys looking!" Sakura's panicked voice rang out. Satsuki confirmed her status along with Haku and Naruto. They just needed time to get their sensei and the could leave.

"KABOOM!"

The demonic voice spoke out as she watched all nearby undead start to fall due to explosions. A few seconds went by before Kakashi reappeared. He looked at them before something caught his eye. 'Tch thats the cache of 115 we need. Seems Gatou really was shipping this out.'

"OK I'll go turn on the lighthouse. I want you all to see if this ship has any of these boxes on it!" He pointed to the metal crate with the volatile material. "If so great if not then we unfortunately need to grab a few." Sakura, Satsuki, and Haku all looked at him like he was crazy. Naruto clenched his fist and got a hardened stare. "Why!" The blonde demanded. Kakashi stared at his student with a hard look.

"Hokages orders." He simply stated. Naruto just grunted

"You know how i feel about this!" He growled. Kakashi simply sighed. "I know kid unfortunately it seems this has already spread. Best way to minimize any future damage is to contain it." Naruto stared for a few seconds before grunting, unhappy but said nothing more. Sakura and Haku looked at each other in confusion while Satsuki just stared at the blonde worriedly. Kakashi split off from them and headed towards the light house.

Once at the door he headed inside he fought off a couple of the shamblers that were in there. He navigated through the light house effortlessly towards the power room. 'Have I been in here before?' He asked himself as he reached for the handle. Being sure to avoid the attached arm on it. He heard the whirring of electricity and the clicks of multiple lights being turned on. He made is way to the top of the light house and encountered another zombie. This one the caused him to stop. Not because this corpse looked any more horrif than the rest, but because she looked familiar. He shook of his momentary shock before taking her down by throwing her out the window. He went towards the main light, and after a few trail and errors on the buttons he managed to get it on and operating. The spotlights spun illuminati the foggy docks they needed to make it through. As the light spun Kakashi was able to make out the jagged rocks around the port.

'That's settled now back to the others.'


The Shadow Man floated high above the docks watching the carnage unfold. He was rather pleased with how the events turned out. Even if this, Haku, fellow wasn't used in the ritual. In the end, the outcome was the same. The Aether has started to spill fourth into this world. He watched as the dark haired girl blew out a ball of fire towards the crowd, quickly followed by watching Haku repair the ship with his ice.

"I never thought I'd find a world where humans could be capable of such abilities without the use of technology. Truly fascinating indeed."

He watched them fight for a little longer before he felt another pressence. He looked over towards where Gatou's mansion was located. Three new people willlngly stepped into his web of destruction. He looked back down at the children loading up the docks before he quetlt chuckled.

"Well lets even the fight a bit more." he waved his hand and almost unseen purple mist appeared infront of him before it spread below. "After all, a little chaos is always more intresting. Espescially when it comes him!" he stated staring at the blond haired ninja.


A couple of metal crates were moved towards the center of the docks. Sakura was helping tie them down while occasionally stopping to shoot and shamblers that made it past the defense they had up. "Okay, that's the last of them!" Naruto used his chains once more to move the payload. He dropped from the top of the ships mast, lifting the create up with his weight while clones helped with the pulling. As the payload swung onto the ship the, one support ropes snapped causing a box to fall out back onto the docks. Once on Naruto collapsed to his knees, sweat pouring down his face and breathing heavily.

Satsuki and Haku were with a bunch of Naruto clones fighting off the horde. As Haku fired his MP40 he noticed the clones movements become more sluggish and sloppy. Being easily taken out. "Fall back I think Naruto reached his limit!" As if to prove him right all clones vanished in a poof of smoke. Satsuki didn't reply, she knew he was right. She ran back and saw the pinkette lifting up an exhausted Naruto. Running to the blondes otherside, she helped carry him. Her Sharingan eyes scanning him for injuries. "Is he alright?"

"Yeah I think he's just tired. Don't blame him."

"Good let's get him on the ship!"

"What about the crates that fell?" Haku asked.

"Fuck the crates we have enough get him to the ship now!" The Uchiha called out. They began to carry him onto the ship until a mist rolled around. Satsuki's red eyes darted in every direction for movement.

"Tch, he's here!" From the mist they saw a bunch if shadows headed towards them. As the my got closer Haku fired at the water clones when a thud from behind him caught his attention. Kakashi had arrived and started helping on the defense holding back the water clones. Haku and Kakashi both used a B rank jutsu clearing up the mist revealing an undead Zabuza going through handsigns. "We have to stop him!" Haku yelled. Kakashi ran foward with a kunai in hand tossing it. To clones appeared in front of Zabuza stopping his run. He threw a couple of more that were also blocked by the undead clones. Kakashi grabbed another kunai but this time he infused it with lightning chakra before tossing it towards Zabuza. He never noticed the faint change in color of his lightning frm blueish white to the light lavander. The clones tried to defend against it but the piercing power was to much. It destroyed them and headed towards Zabuza.

Kakashi was shocked as Zabuza grabbed the kunai, and used the momentum when it grabbed the lightning kunai to spin his around and throw it back. It didn't get out unscathed as the lighting went through its body electrocuting zombie. Kakashi tried to stop the kunai is it flew past him towards his team behind. His fingers brushed up against the kunai attempting to redirect it's course. He succeeded just not in the way he wanted.

"We got you, we got you." Haku told Naruto as he helped get him to his feet. Sakura held on arm while Satsuki held the other. They started to lift him on board whhh Satsuki's eyes were able to catch something fly and impacting with the metal crate. She watched as the glowimg crate grew brighter before a wall of ice formed quicly infront of them.

"NOOO!" Kakashi yelled as he watched the explosion go off. Purple fire and smoke burned up. The ship had been saved by Haku's quick thinking but the same couldn't be said for his crew. He watched them get enveloped in the smoke and flames. He used a low level wind jutsu to clear the smoke out and started searching. He found the girls fairly quickly. Their bodies were covered with contaminated water. He did his best to clear them up as best he could before he heard the distant screams. He checked for a pulse. "Thank, Kami they're alive." He heard three sets of feet land behind him. He whirled around pulling out his tanto ready for a fight.

"Woah, Senpai it's us!" Crow called out with his arms up as a sign of peace.

"Satsuki!" Weasel dropped to his knees next to the ravenette checking her for injuries and a pulse. Rabbit was immediately on top of Sakura checking her with her iyrojutsu.

She healed the damages she could thankfully their didn't seem to be damage. Satsuki was the same however her eyes were slightly damaged from staring into an explosion. Kakashi gave a brief overview as he searched for the other two. He found Haku badly charred and his body still smoking.

"Haku! Talk to me kid let me know you're still with us!" He held his burnt body. His bloodshot eyes opened and he coughed horribly. "I can't treat his wounds theirs to much damage for me to repair." Rabbit said as she saw the state of his body. Kakashi looked at her in desperation before suddenly reaching into his pouch and pulling out a glowing soldier pill. He popped it into his mouth quickly and forced him to swallow.

At first nothing happened. Kakashi let go and Rabbit placed a hand on his shoulder. Suddenly the body glowed purple before it was covered in ice. Just as quickly kky the ice shattered and a really pale Haku emerged unscathed. "S-s-so c-c-co-cold!" He stated Kakashi let out a sigh of relief before calling back to the others.

"They're still coming get them on the ship!" He yelled as he lifted up Haku and prepared to board. Weasl picked up Satsuki while Crow grabbed Sakura. Once placed on the ship Weasel shouted "Where's Naruto!?" Before anyone could answer they saw a horde of undead rushing the docks. Crow and Weasel went through handsigns before unleashing their Dragon Flame Jutsu towards the crowd. It slowed them down but barely affected their numbers. Suddenly they watched as the charred Zabuza corpse slowly got up with purple smoke now making its way towards it. Once it inhaled the eyes snapped opened but instead red eyes they were now purple and its movements less slugish. They each readied for a fight when they each felt it. A wave a malicous intent filled the docks. Satsuki, Sakura, and Haku had no idea what they could be facing. However, the oldee ones knew this feeling. They all experienced it one way or another 15 years ago.

Suddenly something burst out of the water and landed on top of the ship's mast, causing it to crack under the force. "Damn it he's lost it!" All older Konoha shinobi's thought in unision as they stared at a 4 tailed ethereal fox with skeletal armor.


Managed to finish this chapter finally took advantage of being sick andlaying bed to do so lol.

avilasamantha: Thank you it means a lot to me that I'm doing a decent enough job to keep you invested in my goofy little story it means a lot!

AmeliaCarson: I can't tell you how flattered I am that you are considering drawing up a manga for my story. I never thought that anyone would like to do that. While I'm very flattered I'm not to sure I can afford an artist! Still I'll consider setting up a discord to contact you!

Daffykingbob25: Thanks for enjoying the story! I'm glad you liked it and like I said I'll see about making a discord since I wasn't expecting anything to come from this story lol. I added the character ages as you asked and I'll go back eventually and add the ages to the first chapter for clarification.

As always let me know what you think, thanks again for all your support and have a good one!
