"Hey, Orochimaru!" I said as I walked over to the tall, pale man with long black hair.

"Yes, what is it, master?" Orochimaru asked.

"I want you to conduct some experiments, you see... my ki has been dispersed everywhere and I'm pretty sure that some of us here have gained a mutated version of my ki, maybe it's in their blood or something... I don't really know, but I know that you could pretty easily figure out" I said with a whisper.

"As you wish master, I shall experiment on these weaklings and see if they have unlocked any special abilities," Orochimaru said.

"Oh, right! And I want you to run some experiments on this thing, it seems like the undead have also mutated, this one's gained above average speed, I call it a Runner. I want you to see if there are any additional weak points or strengthened parts and if you do. Tell everyone, so we can set up a suitable countermeasure against these bastards" I said with a smile.

"As you wish," Orochimaru said with a small bow.

'Hey, I just thought of this... but, system... did my summons Ki and Chakra also get dispersed around the world?' I asked the system.

[Yes, the summons chakra and ki were dispersed around the world, giving select people weak Kekkei Genkai's] The system answered.

"Orochimaru, look out for chakra too, the mutants might have weak Kekkei Genkai's," I said to Orochimaru.

"Oh, that's actually quite interesting, I shall do as you wish. Master" Orochimaru said with a small smile creeping up on his face.

"Good, and I expect to see results within the next week, and if you do well, I may help you get some alien bloodlines and genes when we get out of here," I said, as I walked away from Orochimaru.

"Yes master, I shall get to work immediately," Orochimaru said enthusiastically at the prospect of more bloodlines and genes other than just the typical Human and Saiyan ones.

A week later, Orochimaru came to me with news about the mutations.

"Master, I have examined the Runner's corpse and found that its legs and feet are far stronger than an average walker's, while its upper half is actually weaker than the average walker's, meaning that we could easily just stop them with a headshot like usual" Orochimaru said enthusiastically as he ran to me.

"Okay, good... what else?" I asked.

"And, master, I have found four people in this group with Kekkai Genkai's or Mutations," Orochimaru said with a grin on his face.

'Hmm, one more than the system said' I thought, "Well, who are they and what mutations do they have?"

"Master, Lee Everett has a mutation that gives him enhanced endurance, I believe that the chakra and ki fused together in his muscles, giving him his endurance," Orochimaru said.

"Okay, that's interesting... now, tell me the next one," I said.

"Of course, Carley has a mutation that gives her enhanced eyesight, I believe the same thing that happened to Lee also happened to her, just instead of the energies fusing in her muscles, they fused in her eyes, giving her far better vision than humanly possible, it's actually pretty similar to the Byakugan, if you exclude the fact that she can't see behind her" Orochimaru said.

"Okay, that could be useful if we could get her the right equipment... now, the next one" I said.

"Yes, Doug has a mutation that's quite different from the previous two, as this one is a sort of bacteria that spreads around his body on command, and it's got the exact same qualities as stone, I refer to it as Stoneskin, if he uses it in a firefight, he could use it as a shield to bullets, causing only bruises to form under the Stone-like bacteria" Orochimaru said.

"Okay, Doug's ability could be useful in a melee fight, what about the last one?" I asked.

"Ah, right. The last one is the little girl, Clementine, she has gained quite the perculiar mutation that allows her to control the small amounts of chakra and ki in the air, basically allowing her to manipulate it to no end, she could use it to hover in the air, rip out the air in their lungs and create mini tornadoes to kill foes, it's by far the most useful offensive mutation that we have" Orochimaru said with a grin.

"Ah, Clementine could be incredibly useful in that case... so, are you sure that nobody else has a mutation?" I asked.

"I am 99% positive," Orochimaru said.

"Only 99%?" I asked.

"I've learned that my calculations don't always go to plan, so that 99% is just a failsafe, but I'm incredibly confident that nobody else has a mutation," Orochimaru said with a small smile.

"Ah, okay," I said, "Now, all we have to do is wait around one or two years and you will be appropriately rewarded with Namekian cells," I said.

"Namekian?" Orochimaru asked.

"They can regenerate lost limbs within seconds and live for a couple hundred years, and they can lay eggs to make some minions... they could be useful if you could genetically modify them to be more... aggressive, as they're a passive race" I said.

"Of course master, I will think about how to do exactly as you wish while I'm here," Orochimaru said with a grin.

"Okay then, now... let's go," I said.

"Go? Where?" Orochimaru asked, confused.

"To tell the mutants what mutations they have, of course," I said with a grin, "Unless you've already told them..."

"Of course I didn't master, I only ran the simulations in my head of what they could do, so they could be slightly stronger or weaker than what I originally thought," Orochimaru said.

"Well, that's okay... now, let's tell them," I said with a grin, as I walked to the mutated humans in the group and told them one by one, their reactions... varied.

"Wait, so I can create Stoneskin around my body at will? Awesome!" Doug said enthusiastically.

"So, I can take more hits, stay awake and run longer? Man, that's bullshit..." Lee said in an annoyed tone.

"Huh, I thought my vision got a lot better, to think it'd be a mutation... okay, that's kind of cool" Carley said with a smirk.

"So, I'm like a superhero? I'll be... uh... Tornado Girl!" Clementine said with a happy grin.

'Well, at least they didn't completely freak out like I thought they would' I thought, as a small smile slowly crept up on my face, as I watched the four test out their mutations, Doug's arm turning into stone, Lee running on the spot, timing himself, Carley identifying animals in the woods from far away and Clementine creating a small ball of air and hitting the wall with it.

'Looks like this world is a bit different from what I originally thought' I thought.
