God I love the smell of Crossover in the morning. This is the first installment of this crossover between H.S.O.T.D and Naruto. I don't own either.

The 'infestation' was over before it ever got truly out of control. Every single living person in the entirety of the Elemental Nations owed their lives to one blonde and one blonde only. Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, the Blonde Berserker of Konoha.

He was the shinobi who had learned of the headshot that took the 'un' out of undead and put them down in their dirt piles permanently. He was subject to six constant months of nothing but search and destroy missions, always coming back with deep gouges, physically and emotionally. Too many times he had to kill men, women, and even children that had succumbed to the viral infection.

Every single village that had fallen, every single loss, and every single hero's name was committed to memory and etched onto a marble pillar by Naruto in his off time, not that he had much.

The thankless assholes of his village somehow had managed to pin the blame squarely on him for the horrid infection and death, something that wounded him deeper than any blade. His friends, even the newly reformed Sasuke, never believed the vile lies that spewed from the mouth of the elders on the council.

All of the shinobi respected him deeply. He had annihilated the Akatsuki, Madara, Obito, and even led them in the defeat of the Ten-Tails with his Kurama chakra cloak burning around him like a golden aura of hope. Among all of them he was the only jonin, at age 19.

Today, sadly, was no better for our blonde hero as the council was demanding his banishment again. Little did they know that Naruto was already scheduled for another mission. The objective? To stave off the infection in another universe in dire need of a hero.

Naruto strode down the street with his head held high, ignoring the pointy glares and pointy objects of the civilians. He'd gained the support of a few of the normal class of Konoha after they'd witnessed his inner fire and daring rescue attempts. They'd tried to convince the others of Naruto's morality and upstanding loyalty.

Not a single fucking person listened.

No matter what, no matter the circumstances, he still had his precious people to protect and he would protect them no matter the physical cost.

He could hear Tsunade's shouts from his position four blocks away.

"Not again" he huffed and stepped inside the Tower. The two ANBU guarding the door gave him looks of sympathy from behind their masks and slipped extra shuriken into his pouch. The shinobi had his back…it was the other half that wanted his head on a pike.

"We demand that the disease spreading Demon be killed!" Isako Haruno's grating voice screeched around the room.

Every member of the council was shouting back and forth, arguing with the clan heads and the Hokage.

Something struck Naruto as odd. Sasuke was standing in the corner, his jaw trembling almost invisibly. Tsunade was sitting and sipping her sake with a large scowl on her usually beautiful face.

"Since you've refused to do anything against the demon, we've taken the matter into our own, much more capable hands" Isako smirked dangerously.

The Hokage's gaze quickly turned ice cold," What does that mean, Haruno?"

Tsunade's stomach gurgled and her features contorted in pain before she shouted the word 'Drugged' with enough hate and venom to make the Kyuubi himself shiver. Her head connected with the table and her breathing slowed, showing her to be unconscious.

"Now, Uchiha!" Isako jabbed a finger at Naruto. Sasuke leapt forward, large tears spilling down from his onyx eyes.

"S-Sasuke" Naruto tried to shushin away, only for the Sharingan-wielder to impale him through the chest with a Chidori.

"I'm sorry, Naruto…They…they've got Sakura and Hioma captive" Sasuke choked out through his teeth.

Naruto stood stock still, his eyes gleaming with a forgiving light," I understand, my brother. Take care of them. Make these council bastards regret this…for me."

Naruto's eyes and nose began to leak blood; he felt something on his shoulder. Like a feather had been rested there.

"I'll handle this" a voice rang through the room as light began to fill every inch of the chamber, blinding a few.

"What's doing this?" Shikaku Nara called out from behind his hand.

"I am."

All eyes turned to look at a young woman, more beautiful than any of them had ever seen before. Her eyes were a kind of blue that seemed to sparkle against the sun. Her white hair billowed in an invisible wind and her alabaster skin was blemish free. Although her voice was gentle, it commanded attention and respect.

"Who are you?!" Isako shouted loudly.

"I am what you mortals call, Kami" the woman smiled widely.

"K…Kami? How…what?" a Naruto friendly councilman gaped aloud before bowing deeply.

"I come on behalf of another God. The Flying Raijin, otherwise known as Minato Namikaze."

Well that shut everyone right the fuck up. Minato was an actual God.

"Your treatment of his son sickens him to no end. Naruto is going to be leaving, never to return this this wretched place of hate. Your punishment will be the complete and utter annihilation of The Village Hidden in the Leaves."

"NO!" Naruto's voice cut through the air like a knife. "You will not harm this village! Not when I'm still alive!"

He hacked blood onto the floor but took a battle stance nonetheless.

"That might not be for long" Kami noted the gaping and fatal wound in his chest.

"I don't care! I'll fight you until then to protect this village and everyone in it!" Naruto stepped forward, kunai drawn.

Every single jaw dropped, an image was shattered, and an epiphany dawned on the elders and biased council members. This man was still willing to die for them, willing to defy Kami herself. Naruto vomited blood as his body finally began to shut down.

"Come, Brave One. You have much to see" Kami grasped his large and scarred hand in her delicate one.

Birds chirped, the sun shone brighter, and the pair disappeared in a pillar of light.

…..

Naruto awoke, stark naked, in a large field of flowers and trees.

"Glad to see you're among the semi-living" Kami was lying next to him, equally naked.

"Where are my clothes?" Naruto blushed slightly.

"Oh those? I burnt them."

"YOU WHAT!?" Naruto growled.

"Even though orange is the greatest color I've ever created, too much of it is just dumb" she giggled.

"So, I'm supposed to go to this new world naked?"

"As much as I, and a few other girls, would love to see that I've picked out an outfit for you and gave you a few new toys" Kami winked and snapped her fingers.

A pile of clothing appeared next to Naruto, a weird metal thing on top of the bundle. Naruto gasped at the clothing, a black, long sleeve, button-down top, orange tie, jeans, and a pair of black Converses with orange laces.

He threw them on quickly, enjoying the soft material. The metal thing clattered to the ground," What the Hell is this?"

"A .44 magnum revolver, brand new hammer and grip, uses hollow points to blow the fuck out of anything in your way."

Naruto was silent before he cocked is head to the side,"Wha?"

Kami sighed," Pull the trigger six times, open the spinny thing, dump out the bullets, put new ones in, pull the hammer back, and aim for the head."

"Simple enough" Naruto spun the chamber. A tugging on his jeans made him look down quickly, Kami was tying a short sword to his hip.

"It was made by your dad, he wishes you luck" she finished tying the knot.

"How long do I have?"

Kami held up her fingers. 3…2…1.

Cue blinding light.

…..

"Mr. Tajima!"

Three teachers crowded around the now still body of the school's gym teacher.

"It's already started" Naruto cursed and doubled back to the school. It was already fucking chaos, the principal had given his life to warn the students of the incoming infected before being killed and reanimated himself.

Naruto prayed for the man.

SLAP!

His sensitive fox ears picked up the sound of a hand impacting with someone's face.

"We've got to go!" a brown haired teen pulled a girl and a grey haired guy out a classroom to Naruto's right. It was a smart move too as the other students began a large stampede in their panic to get out.

"Come with me! Over here!" Naruto yelled above the bedlam. The brown haired teen nodded and ran towards him.

"What do we do?" he questioned.

"Get to the roof, we'll barricade ourselves up there until we can figure out a more concrete plan" Naruto wheeled back and decapitated an undead student.

A scream gave Naruto cause to bolt," Get to the roof! Go!"

He sprinted down the hall towards the scream, decimating any and all zombies in the hallway. A small nurse's office was on his left, apparently the origin of the scream. He ducked inside, seeing a young glasses-wearing teen being attacked by a horde. He'd been defending the school nurse, Ms. Shizuka when he'd finally been overwhelmed.

Four lightning fast strikes later the dead stayed dead. Naruto eased the boy into a more comfortable position.

"I'm not going to lie to you, you're going to die" Naruto spoke quietly and fast, he had given this speech before…too many times and he never sugarcoated it.

The boy's eyes dimmed a little behind his glasses but he still gave a small smile," At least…at least I helped Ms. Shizuka, now others can be helped by her skills."

Naruto lowered his head, his eyes hidden by his bangs; he hated seeing this the most, the truly good people who would die so soon…so fucking soon.

He unsheathed his tanto," I'll make it quick."

The boy nodded and closed his eyes; resigned to the death he had been given.

"May Kami hold you close" Naruto brought the blade down and cleaved the boy's head in two.

Just like that…Naruto knew this wouldn't be the last infected person he'd have to put down before they turn.

Great, fucking great.

Now I have something to address, I just decided to add onto the first chapter a wee bit. To the people who don't understand why Naruto stopped Kami from destroying the village is because if he succumbed to the anger and hate would he be any better than the villagers? No, he has his people to protect and he still loves the village, no matter what bullshit they throw at him.
