Chapter 1: Technological Greed
Prologue
War… War never changes. In the year of 2077, the deteriorating relationships and rising tensions between the 3 world superpowers; the United States, the People's Republic of China, and the Soviet Union reached a boiling point and on October 23 nuclear warheads from every nuclear powered country were launched signaling the start of The Great War. It last only 2 hours but the aftermath forever changed the face of the earth. Entire mountain ranges were created as the ground buckled and moved under the strain of the cataclysmic pressure produced by numerous, concentrated atomic explosions. Rivers and oceans around the world were contaminated with the resulting radioactive fallout released by the low-yield nuclear weapons used by all sides, and the climate changed horrifically. All the regions of the Earth suffered from a single, permanent season once the initial dust blasted into the atmosphere by the nuclear explosions had settled … a scorching, radioactive desert summer.
The only ones to survive were the American citizens that took refuge in massive underground bunkers known as Vaults. When they emerged, they only had the harsh heat and radiation of the wastes to greet them. When they left the vaults, some separated and went their own way while others stayed near their vault to begin a new society.
Before the war, New Jersey had been one of the biggest industrial states in the United States after World War II. Following the start of the Resources Wars in 2052, Newark, one of New Jersey's biggest industrial city, thrived under the increased military funding and need for guns, ammunition, planes, power armor, and nuclear warheads and missiles. A vault had been built under the city, Vault 25, by Vault-Tec before the war. Funded by billionaire, Japanese factory owners, the vault was privately owned by Kohaku Namikaze and the vault was filled with the best of America's scientists, doctors, and soldiers that weren't under government payroll.
The vault was split into clans, much like Feudal Japan. Each clan had a certain trait shared by all its inhabitants. There were a total of 9 clans in vault 25.
The Aburame Clan were a scientific clan and were the top agricultural scientists and bug experts, they were responsible for finding ways of reintroducing plant life in a hostile environment while also responsible for breeding bug species capable of surviving in the desolate wasteland outside the vault, their children were trained to know the many different plant types and insects but very few were taught to fight.
The Akimichi Clan were a warrior clan and were the demolition experts in Vault 25's army, They were tasked with designing new explosives for both military and non-military purposes, their children were specially trained to use hand-held explosives and explosive launchers.
The Hyūga Clan were a warrior clan that were taught a deadly hand-to-hand fighting style and were highly-effective scouts in Vault 25's army. Their children, at a young age, were taught the art of war and battle and trained to be deadly with their fists or even more deadly when given a powerfist.
The Inuzuka Clan were a warrior clan that were skilled trackers and scavengers, they were also trained to fight with bladed weapons and at a young age, the Inuzuka were trained in a deadly kenjutsu style that made them very deadly with a bladed weapon and trained attack dogs to fight alongside them.
The Nara Clan were a scientific clan that was tasked with researching and decoding pre-war technology and finding ways to rebuild and improving them as well as their strategy skills. They were known for their high intelligence in science and their laziness for anything non-scientific. At a young age their children had a high love for science and mathematics but none for fighting.
The Yamanaka Clan were a warrior clan that trained effective spies and interrogators and renowned poison makers, they also trained psychologists that were invaluable to the mental health of Vault 25's residents. They were merciless with captured raiders and were trained in the art of interrogation from a young age. They preferred throwing or bladed weapons that were covered in their clan's deadly neurotoxic poison.
The Senju Clan were a medical clan that was tasked with training doctors and creating new drugs from plants that the Aburame Clan grew. They were known for being the best doctors but for also training fierce warriors, their clan members usually used laser weapons as their preferred weapon.
The Uchiha Clan were a warrior clan that trained some of the best sharpshooters in Vault 25, their clan members made up a majority of the sharpshooter unit in Vault 25's army. Their children were trained to sharp shoot from a young age and always preferred using scoped rifles or sniper rifles.
Finally, the Namikaze Clan was a warrior clan and the ruling clan of Vault 25. They were some of the most brilliant strategists and diplomats but also the fiercest warriors in Vault 25. Automatic weapons and long-distance rifles were their weapon of choice.
The vault was ruled under an overseer and since the vault had closed, the Namikaze Clan had always stayed in power. During the reign of Minato Namikaze, 181 years after the Great War ended, the vault was opened and in 12 years, Vault 25 had been turned into a thriving village. Their income came from nearby towns and settlements that paid for their protection and missions to kill bands of raiders and super mutants. Vault 25 had built a wall around the Pre-War city of Newark, and using the Nara's intelligence and scientific knowhow, Minato was able to restore the factories to working conditions which let him mass-produce bullets and weapons.
Vault 25's soldiers were known as shinobi, ninja, because they were trained in the art of stealth and assassination in addition to open battles. Jonin, elite warriors, wore pre-war, military-grade riot gear that had been lightened to promote mobility but still have a degree of protection; they also wore a pre-war riot helmet that had a rebreather attached to it for underwater breathing and filtered breathing. The armor was sealed so it provided protection from radiation and hazardous gases. The armor was reserved for only the Jonin, elite warriors, of the village that took the most dangerous missions. Chunin, experienced warriors, received military grade combat armor while Genin, recruits, received leather armor.
At the heart of Vault 25 was a supercomputer that held everything Vault 25 knew from Verti-bird schematics to nuclear warhead blueprints. It was because of this information that Vault 25 was targeted and constantly attacked by raiders. What they didn't know was that a bigger threat was just over the horizon.

Ihaigakure no Sato (Village Hidden in the Ashes) Academy
Naruto Namikaze, son of Minato Namikaze, sat bored as he watched his teacher Iruka give a history lesson on the Resource War of 2052. In Ihaigakure, the academy trained children math, science, geography, and fighting for 4 years. At the end of 4 Years they are either accepted into the army or assigned to other branches of the village, such as the technology dept. or the agricultural dept.
He looked around the room to see absolutely everyone was bored out of their minds. Kiba Inuzuka, heir to the Inuzuka clan had his head down on the desk while his puppy Akamaru slept in his hood. Shikamaru Nara, heir of the Nara clan could be heard quietly snoring as he slept; the lazy Nara wasn't awake for class unless it involved science or math. Sasuke Uchiha was eyeing his rifle on the table, 'He's probably wants to go to the shooting range' mused Naruto as he started falling asleep.
"Naruto!" yelled Iruka, causing Naruto to jerk his head up and fall back in his chair.
The entire class erupted in laughter while Naruto rubbed his ass, "Iruka-sensei, what was that for!" complained Naruto.
"Pay attention Naruto! This is vital to know, history teaches us to learn from our ancestor's mistakes. If you want to be a good leader, you need to know the history of the past" lectured Iruka.
Naruto was cleaning his ear when Iruka was finished, "Huh, you say something Iruka-sensei?"
The whole class once again erupted into laughter, while Iruka turned red in anger, suddenly Iruka's head tripled in size, "Shut up you little bastards!"
Once everyone was settled down, Iruka started his lesson again to which Naruto and half the class fell asleep. This time Iruka let them sleep, learning his lesson.
Once class was over, he dismissed his students and everyone left.
Naruto walked out of the academy, it was a two story building that had been a pre-war high school. He started running down the street and waved hello to all the polite villagers. Children ran through the streets chasing dogs or molerat pups, women swept the porches of their shacks or pre-war houses which they lived in. Chunin patrolled the streets looking for troublemakers or suspicious people. He passed through the market and looked through the many stalls villagers and wasteland merchants sold their goods.
He looked toward one stall and took an apple before rummaging in his pocket and tossing the vendor a copper coin. Which the vendor took with a nod, as he ate the apple and walked through the market, a certain stall caught his attention.
He approached and saw a dark-skinned man wearing leather armor and a hat to protect him from the wasteland sun along with a Caucasian woman with combat armor carrying an assault rifle over her shoulder. He looked through their wares to find some leather, combat, and metal armors all in decent conditions. He also saw some assault rifles, shotguns, and pistols along with some modification kits. But what caught his attention was the 9 mm pistol on the table.
He picked it up to see it was in moderately good condition and it along with it, there were 3 modification kits with it; silencer, flashlight, and a laser sight.
"See something you like kid?" asked the merchant, "Tac-45, semi-automatic, 9mm ammunition, released in 2066 when the food riots of Pre-War America began in the major cities. Distributed to law enforcement for riot control because of the deadly damage at close range" spoke Naruto, "Where did you find it?" asked Naruto after he finished looked at the pistol.
The merchant was surprised that a kid as young as 12 could know so much about a pre-war pistol until he remembered that the village was founded by vault dwellers, 'It's a vault education.'
"You've got a good eye, kid. I found it while I was scavenging through New York City, managed to get my hands on it before some ghouls chased me out of the metro" explained the merchant, "If you want it, it's just 500 caps and 250 caps for each of those mod kits" offered the merchant.
Naruto narrowed his eyes at the merchant, "I'll give you 400 for the gun and 175 for the kits" counter-offered Naruto, "Listen kid, I'm not going to haggle with a brat. So either pay up or get lost" snarled the merchant.
Naruto scowled before reaching into his pockets and throwing the merchant some gold coins, said merchant looked at the strange money before his eyes widened. "I-Is this g-gold?" asked the merchant.
Naruto smirked, "It's your first time here huh? Yeah it's real gold; it's what we use as currency since caps are way too noisy to carry around."
Naruto opened the flashlight and laser sight mod kits and quickly attaching them to his new pistol. He opened his cloak and pulled out an old 10mm pistol from his holster and replaced it with the 9mm. He threw the old 10mm on the table, "Keep that old thing, I sure as hell won't need it."
The merchant grinned, "Pleasure doing business with you."
Naruto rolled his eyes and walked away toward the South of the wall.

Western Perimeter of Ihaigakure
Kakashi Hatake watched through the 12x scope of his anti-material rifle for any signs of hostile forces or raiding parties to the west of the wall. Unfortunately today was quiet and Kakashi was very much bored, that was until he pulled out his handy-dandy pornography.
He opened his orange little book titled 'Make-Out Paradise' and started his perverted giggling. He didn't even notice anyone until it was too late, "What's so funny Kakashi, slacking off on the job?" asked an authoritative voice.
Kakashi didn't even take his eyes off his book as he started sweating bullets, 'Oh god! Minato-sensei caught me! What the hell do I do!?'
"I'm waiting Kakashi" asked the voice impatiently, Kakashi slowly lowered the book and had the decency to look ashamed, "Please forgive me Minato-sensei!" exclaimed Kakashi as he got down on his knees, all of a sudden laughter could be heard and caused Kakashi to look up to see his surrogate brother Naruto.
Kakashi immediately stood up and punched Naruto down on his head, "Idiot! Do you have any idea how much you scared me!" exclaimed Kakashi angrily. Naruto rubbed his head while he snickered, "I got you good Kakashi nii-san."
Kakashi scoffed and turned away but anyone could see the small smile behind his mask, "What are you doing here, Naruto. Don't you usually hang out with Shikamaru afterschool?" asked Kakashi as he looked back through his scope.
"Nah, Shikamaru went home to sleep. Lazy Nara" muttered Naruto, Kakashi chuckled before he looked through his scope to see a band of 12 raiders looking at the wall from over a hill.
"Finally some entertainment" muttered Kakashi as he grabbed a magazine of .50 caliber bullets and loaded them into his anti-material rifle. He pulled the bolt back and chambered a round, he noticed that Naruto looked excited and Kakashi decided to be a good brother.
"Ne, Naruto" spoke Kakashi, Naruto turned to look at his brother, "What is it Nii-san?"
"How would you like to shoot instead of me?" asked Kakashi, Naruto immediately lit up with excitement, "Really Nii-san!"
Kakashi nodded and moved away from the rifle letting Naruto take his place, Naruto calmed himself down and got his breathing normal before looking through the scope, 'Alright, you can do this. We've done this hundreds of times at home' Naruto kept telling himself.
He saw a group of twelve raiders, Vipers judging from their cloths. Two carried flamers, two carried missile launchers, 4 carried assault rifles, and the last 4 were carrying melee weapons. He held this breath as he took aim of the Viper with a flamer.
He pressed the trigger as he exhaled; there was a loud boom as the rifle kicked back but the bipod helped keep the rifle steady. Kakashi was watching through his binoculars as the bullet pierced right through the Viper's head and caused the fuel tank to explode killing an additional 3 raiders in the explosion.
Naruto didn't stop there as he pulled the bolt back and chambered another bullet, this time the raiders were scrambling around and it was hard to get a good aim. But that didn't deter Naruto from trying, he aimed and fired. The bullet traveled through the air before finally hitting one of the raider's missile launchers causing it to explode and leave the raider as nothing but a stain in the street.
Naruto quickly chambered another bullet before aiming at the fission cell of a pre-war car that some raiders were hiding behind. He fired and the car immediately exploded in a mushroom cloud of death killing the four Viper's that hid behind it. Naruto quickly chambered another bullet and was about to shoot the retreating Vipers but Kakashi stopped him.
"Ma, Ma Naruto, I love that your excited to kill some raiders but we still need to track them to their camp to wipe them out" exclaimed Kakashi with an eye smile.
Naruto nodded with a smile, he was happy that he got to defend his village from some raider scum, that was Naruto motivation in life, to protect his village and everyone important to him.
Kakashi took a serious face as he pressed a transmitter in his armor, "Squad San (Three), this is Sentry Tower Go (Five). We just come in contact with a band of jū ni (Twelve) Vipers, we need a dog squad to find their base camp"
"Hai Kakashi-taicho, Squad San is on route to track down the Vipers" responded a voice on the radio.
After waiting a few minutes, a squad of four jonin arrived near Sentry Tower 5. Kakashi gave them a quick nod, which was returned, before they grappled down the wall. They were all dressed in full elite jonin armor, 2 carried sniper rifles while the other two carried katana's on their backs and carried dogs down the wall.
"Ne Kakashi-niisan, why are so many jonin going after a weak band of raiders?" asked Naruto as he watched the jonin rappel down the wall. Kakashi, who was reading his porn, looked at Naruto lazily, "Because the Vipers aren't your normal ragtag group of raiders. They are descendants from vault dwellers like us but along the way they abandoned their vault to prey on the innocent people of the wastes who already had a tough time living. They are a lot more advanced than other raiders and what's worse is that they use a neurotoxic poison like the Yamanaka clan. They are to be taken very seriously Naruto, Vipers are probably the most dangerous of any raider in the east coast" explained Kakashi.
Naruto nodded in understanding as he looked through the scope and surveyed the outer city while Kakashi read his porn. All of a sudden, Naruto saw a Verti-bird flying through the sky in their direction, "Kakashi-niisan, there's a Verti-bird coming toward us" warned Naruto. Kakashi immediately put down his book and looked through his binoculars to see Naruto was right, "Naruto, it's time to go home" spoke Kakashi as he loaded armor-piercing rounds into his sniper rifle.
"What! But I want to stay!" whined the blonde haired boy.
"Now!" snapped Kakashi causing Naruto to take a step back in fear, "H-Hai" replied Naruto meekly as he ran down the street back to his home.
Kakashi had a guilty look on his face as he watched Naruto retreat into the village, "I'm sorry Naruto but this is serious" whispered Kakashi as he looked back through his scope to see 5 Verti-birds heading their way.
"Command, this is Sentry Tower Go. There are five Verti-birds coming this way from the west…" spoke Kakashi into his transmitter, "Sentry Tower Go, What is their allegiance. Over…" replied command, "…It's the brotherhood command… the Brotherhood of Steel."

Ihaigakure Town Hall
Minato Namikaze stared at the monitor of his terminal, going over some reports from his spies in the neighboring settlements. Suddenly a Chunin burst through the door, "Minato-sama! The Midwestern Chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel have been spotted coming from the west!"
Minato's eyes hardened as he stood up from his chair and put on his white cloak with red flames on the flap over his riot armor. He walked out of the room and slumped his SCAR-H over his shoulder, "Put the entire village on DEFCON 3 and recall every shinobi back to the village!" ordered Minato. The Chunin nodded and ran to relay his leader's orders.
Minato walked out town hall and headed toward the gates, his forces were ready to meet the unwelcome visitors. The Verti-bird landed in front of the gate, the ramp opened and 6 heavily armored Paladins armed with laser and plasma rifles setting up a perimeter around the Verti-bird. Once everything was secure a man in black-colored power armor stepped out along with a woman wearing blue robes and carrying a notebook. The man was obviously the leader since his armor was black with a gold brotherhood insignia while his bodyguards had silver armor with a blue insignia.
"Ah Mr. Namikaze, it's so nice to see you again" spoke the leader with his helmet on, "James Barnaky, don't you think it would be more polite to take off your helmet" Minato all but growled.
"Hehehe, of course Mr. Namikaze…" The Head Paladin took off his helmet to reveal a Caucasian man in his late 40s with raven black hair, "...I hope that you have thought about my offer?" asked James.
"Why don't we talk about this inside" spoke Minato, James nodded and followed after Minato toward the town hall. As Minato and James walked through the village, some villagers looked out their windows and doors to see what was stirring around the village while Jonin stood on the roofs, ready to shoot their 'guests' if they tried anything hostile. Chunin patrolled the streets to make sure there weren't spies trying to sneak in while the village was occupied with the Brotherhood.
Naruto was bored out of his mind as he went through his father's things in his office, "Stupid Kakashi, what the big deal about some Verti-birds" muttered Naruto as he went on his fathers' terminal.
"Damn it's locked!" cursed Naruto until he got an idea, "Thank you Shikamaru…" spoke Naruto with a smirk as he looked at his Pip-Boy 3000 and activated the wireless hacking program.

Naruto was interrupted from his antics when the door suddenly opened, "Naruto!? What are you doing here!" exclaimed Minato, said blonde looked past the computer to see his father flanked by two ANBU and 3 people wearing strange cloths, 2 wore bulky power armor and the final wore a scribe robe.
"Who is this boy, Mr. Namikaze?" asked James, Minato rubbed the bridge of his nose, "This is my son, Naruto. Who should be at home."
Naruto rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, "Heh sorry I got bored at home."
"Sigma, take him home" one of the ANBU, wearing elite riot armor, gave a quick 'Hai!' and led Naruto out of the room.
"Okay, Okay, I'm going, nice meeting you jisan!" yelled Naruto before racing away prompting the ANBU to run after him, making sure he got home safe.
"Jisan?" questioned James; "If I am correct, it translates to 'old man' in pre-war Japanese, sir" spoke the female Scribe for the first time.
An amused smile came across the Head-Paladins face, "Thank you Scribe Betty…" he turned his attention back to Minato, "You've got a good kid there, I assume you also have a wife?" asked James as he and Minato took a seat at the desk.
"She's dead" replied Minato coldly, "She died giving birth to my son" added Minato, "I'm so sorry for your loss…" spoke James, "…it's so hard to find love in this world we live in, there are dangers around every corner and we are faced with death every day, that is why the Brotherhood of Steel is trying their hardest to unite this country back to the way it was before the bombs fell. Unfortunately, we are only few with limited technology but your Vault was given an incredible gift! The knowledge to rebuild pre-war factories, farms, power plants, water purification plants, and…" "Weapons, nuclear war-heads, and pre-war vehicles" interrupted Minato, "Please don't take me for a fool, James. You are no different than the pre-war government whose higher-ups wanted nothing more than to line their own pockets. I know that everything you talk about is a lie; you don't want to unite the wasteland. You want to control it and your superiors only want to live their lives of luxury without interruption. My spies have already reported some of the corruption your 'Brotherhood' show, you provide protection to the villages that can provide the most food and water while the other smaller settlements are left to fend for themselves. You council members are constantly accepting bribes from chem merchants who sell jet, psycho, rocket, and slasher throughout the Midwest while you look the other way."
"Here addictive chems are banned and not allowed anywhere inside the village and any merchant caught trying to sneak in addictive chems are executed and while it's true that we also only provide protection for the highest bidder, but we don't announce ourselves as models of justice, morality, and unity to the world when the truth is far from that" continued Minato, "So James, I have thought about your offer and I refuse" finished Minato.
A look of annoyance etched itself on the Brotherhood Paladins face, "Surely you want to rethink Mr. Namikaze. While the Brotherhood is small, we are much bigger than your army" spoke James in a warning tone.
Minato slammed his hand on the desk causing some spider cracks to form and their respective body guards to point their weapons, "Is that a threat you brotherhood scum?" spoke Minato in a venomous tone.
James stood up, "It's obvious that you won't consider our alliance offering. But a word of warning Mr. Namikaze, this wasteland is unforgiving and one cannot hope to survive without allies" warned James before he walked out of the room, Minato and his guard followed after them to make sure they left the village.
James and his party met once again with their escort at their Verti-bird, James and his entourage entered the Verti-bird while Minato watched them leave.
"Minato-sama, what are your orders?" asked Shikaku Nara, Minato's military advisor; "Put the village at DEFCON 2 and have the elite jonin patrolling the walls 24/7" ordered Minato. Shikaku nodded and left to complete his orders.

Jersey Deadlands: Verti-bird Alpha
James Barnaky sighed exasperatedly as he sat in his chair while the Verti-bird flew south toward McGuire Air Force Base.
"How did it go?" asked a voice in the darkened corner, "He refused with hostility… had you not threatened his son, he might have been more cooperative" spoke James, "That mongrel should have known his place and handed over what I wanted in the first place, now we will have to take it by force" spoke the voice.
"Are you sure about this Elijah…" the figure moved out of the shadows to reveal in his early 40s with whitening hair and small wrinkles, "…If we go through with this attack, we'll lose a lot of men. The Midwestern and Mojave chapters are stretched out to their limit as they are. Not to mention what would happen if the Enclave finds out and comes to finish us off in our weakened state" reasoned James.
Elijah waved him off, "Nonsense, the rewards outweigh the risks. Think about what we can do with that technology James; we could rebuild pre-war factories, mass produce energy weapons and robots, grow un-irradiated food, and bring the wasteland back to its pre-war glory with the Brotherhood at the top."
James let out a small sigh; "I know but is it really worth destroying a thriving town in the wasteland?" question the blonde paladin.
"One cannot hope to achieve change without making a few sacrifices" spoke Elijah, James just let out another sigh and accepted what they were going to do.
"ETA 5 minutes to landing commander Barnaky" said the Verti-bird pilot, James nodded and after 5 minutes the Verti-bird touched down in McGuire Air Force Base, the ramp opened to the scene of a fleet of over 30 Verti-bird sporting the insignia of the Mojave or Midwestern chapter of the Brotherhood.
Paladins and Knights of both factions hurried through the base carrying crates of energy weapons and ammunition for the upcoming battle. "Commander Barnaky, Sir. What are your orders? Do we prepare for an offensive or an annexation?" asked a Paladin carrying a Gauss rifle.
"Prepare our forces for an attack at dawn, captain" ordered James, the Brotherhood captain nodded and left to relay his commanders' orders.
James and Elijah walked into the command hanger to come face to face with the Viper leader, Johnny F, and his 'protection detail'.
"About damn time you got back!" exclaimed Johnny as he put down his vodka, James and Elijah frowned but moved on, "We weren't able to get them to surrender peacefully, make sure your men attack at dawn tomorrow."
Johnny smirked and pulled out a cigarette, "Yeah don't worry, we'll make sure to kill every single one of those assholes, as long as you hold up your end of the bargain" spoke Johnny as he lit his cigarette and held his hand out expectantly.
James motioned for the nearest paladin to approach; said paladin nodded and walked over with a large crate over his shoulder. The paladin dropped the crate in front of Johnny, who in turn opened the crate and started let out an impressed whistle.
"Come to papa" said Johnny as he pulled a Laser RCW from the weapons' crate and examined it; suddenly he pointed it at Elijah, prompting the surrounding Brotherhood members to point their guns at him. Johnny gave an arrogant smirk before lowering his gun, "Everything seems to be cool, so I'll bounce and tell my boys to get ready to kill" spoke Johnny before leaving.
"What exactly did you promise him?" asked Elijah, "I gave him a couple crates of laser RCW's and some mini-nuke launchers. Once we get rid of Namikaze and his forces, we'll kill those damn Vipers once and for all" spoke James before retiring to his quarters for the night. Elijah watched James leave before he looked out of the hanger toward his forces. Paladins and Knights donned their power armor and recon armor gave their energy weapon one last inspection before slumping them over their back. Mechanics repaired and inspected Verti-birds to make sure they ran smoothly.
'Soon the Brotherhood will be at the most powerful force in existence, first Vault 25 then the world' raved Elijah in his mind before leaving to go to his room.

Ihaigakure West Wall
The sun rose over the horizon as jonin surveyed the walls through their sniper scopes, Genma chewed on a toothpick as he looked through some binoculars to see a random raider walking toward the village. At first he thought it nothing but when he looked his much more powerful scope, he could see it was more than one but rather over 100. He immediately reported it to command and the entire village was put under DEFCON 1. Jonin raced to the west wall to reinforce the village gates, they closed the metal doors of the gates, and chunin stood near the gates ready to engage the raiders with assault rifles, shotguns, and melee weapons.
All of a sudden the Vipers and all other raiders, who joined the Vipers under temporary alliance, gave a war cry and charged the village. Automatic weapons and sniper rifles went off as jonin mowed down the raiders from the top of the walls. The raiders, equipped with laser weapons and explosives, returned fire taking the jonin by surprise when some of their comrades went down from laser weapon holes.
Johnny D laughed maniacally as he fired his laser RCW into the wall, "YO BIG JIM, LET EM' HAVE IT!" yelled Johnny to a bulky, dark skinned raider holding a Fat Man (mini-nuke launcher). Said raider gave a grunt and aimed the hulking nuke launcher, it did not go unnoticed by the jonin on the wall.
"Shit! Get away from the gates!" exclaimed Genma toward the chunin, unfortunately he was too late and a nuclear explosion ripped the gate from its hinges causing the massive doors to kill anyone that stood too close.
The raiders stormed the village taking the evacuating villagers by surprise; all the remaining chunin and jonin ran back into the village to engage the invading raiders.
From town hall, Minato watched the chaos that ensued in his village, "How is this possible!" spoke Minato with grit teeth. Suddenly it became clear when the familiar sound of a Verti-bird engine sounded from the east.
The village leader turned to see a fleet of 30 Verti-birds land in the east of the village, directly behind the Vault entrance. Brotherhood paladins and knights stormed from their vehicles and blew a massive hole in the wall to engulf the village in steel. Villagers screamed in terror as they were slaughtered by approaching raiders and genin, chunin, and jonin struggled to keep the invaders from coming any closer into their home.
Minato clenched his fists until they bleed, 'Damn it! This is my fault, if only I'd given into their demands then this would never have happened' thought Minato remorsefully as he let some tears shed.
"No, I won't let our people die!" exclaimed Minato as he logged onto his terminal.

Minato transferred all Data to his Pip-Boy before selecting to purge all data from the mainframe to prevent the Brotherhood from ever getting their hands on it.
…
Minato looked at his Pip-Boy to make sure all the data was safely transferred, once that was done he called Kakashi and assigned an ANBU to fetch Naruto to see him.
"You called for me sensei?" asked Kakashi as he caught his breath, he was covered in blood and his combat knife was still dripping from cutting open a countless number of raiders while Naruto had a look of absolute terror on his face and he looked at his father with pleading eyes.
Minato walked up to his son and wrapped him in a hug, effectively calming him down, "Kakashi, what I'm going to ask you to do is going to be the hardest thing I have ever told someone…" Kakashi could see the his sensei had a pained look on his face as he hugged his son, "I want you to take Naruto and go" spoke Minato causing Naruto and Kakashi to tense, "You can't be serious sensei! We can't just abandon you" "No, Tou-san I don't want to leave you!" yelled/ cried Kakashi and Naruto respectively.
"I'm sorry but the village is lost, the raiders are slaughtering us and even if we did kill them all, the Brotherhood would just finish the rest of us off in our tired state. Please grant me this wish Kakashi, take Naruto and leave while you still have a chance" pleaded Minato to his former student.
Kakashi looked at his teacher and leader and reluctantly nodded, Naruto on the other hand was shedding tears as he heard what his father had said. The village that he was born in, had grown up in, and had dreamed of having a family in was doomed to be destroyed by scum of the wasteland and technology obsessed lunatics.
Naruto shook his head and refused to let go of his father, "No! I won't leave, if you die then I'll die with you!" proclaimed Naruto as he latched onto his father tighter.
Minato smiled sadly down on his son, "I can't let you do that Naruto, your mother would never forgive me if I let you die. You still have your life ahead of you, who am I to take that from you…" he used his strength to move Naruto off him, let put him down and looked at his son who had his face overshadowed while tears rolled down his face, "But that doesn't mean you'll forget us…" Minato removed Naruto's and his own Pip-Boy, switching devices, "This Pip-Boy was the pinnacle of pre-war technology and has been handed down from overseer to overseer and from father to son for generations. As overseers we were tasked with always keeping our Vault safe as well as our heritage and culture alive and remembering our roots but I failed…" Minato adjusted the new Pip-Boy on Naruto's arm, the device seemed to sink needles into his arm but Naruto felt nothing as he listened to the last words his father ever told him, "…I opened the Vault and announced to the world our technology causing this to befall us…" Minato looked down at his son with pride, "But I know that you will do a better job than me, you will reunite this world and succeed in what I failed because you are my son and no matter what happens, I will always be proud of you" Naruto wiped the tears from his eyes and gave his father a smile, "I promise Tou-san that I rebuild our village and make you proud!" proclaimed Naruto, Minato rubbed the top of his head affectionately, "I have no doubt about that Naruto, now go…" Naruto nodded and started leaving with Kakashi, "…Kakashi, thank you" spoke Minato, Kakashi gave his former sensei a sad smile; "For what it's worth, it was an honor to serve you" spoke Kakashi before leaving.
Minato sighed sadly as he returned to his desk, ignoring the occasional explosion and constant sound of gunfire.

"Shikaku, are you going to come out now?" asked Minato whole heartedly, said military advisor stepped out of the shadows with a blank look, "I never thought we would ever use that" spoke Shikaku, Minato chuckled, "My father always told me to be prepared for anything… I'll assume you told your wife the reality of the situation?" questioned Minato.
Shukaku nodded, "I told her and the other clan heads" Minato to give a sad smile, "Good, I prefer as many people as possible survive this day but if we announce this to the village, the men will lose their morale and give up fighting letting the Brotherhood or worse the Vipers slaughter the ones trying to escape…" Minato stood up from his chair and put on his signature cloak and loaded his SCAR-H with a clip before throwing Shikaku a Desert Eagle pistol.
Shikaku let a chuckle escape his lips, "Never did I think I would use a gun" spoke the Nara as he examined the pistol, "Well, I thought us old men could go out in a blaze of glory instead of dying here, hiding like cowards" spoke Minato with a smirk.
Shikaku nodded as he chambered a bullet, "After you Minato-sama" spoke Shikaku in as exaggerated tone.
Minato smirked at his advisor before kicking open the door and going out to engage the enemy with his troops, his conscious clear and his affairs in order.

Vault 25
Elijah pulled the trigger on his Gauss rifle, killing the Nara that had been working down in the mainframe room. He was flanked by James Barnaky, behind them marched 6 Paladin escorts. After walking down five levels, they had finally reached the mainframe room.
A large computer hooked up to countless processors and wires that ran throughout the room, "Isn't it beautiful" whispered Elijah as he made his way toward the console, "Set up a perimeter" ordered James, his paladins nodded and left to complete their orders.
"How long until you hack into the system?" asked James impatiently, he had a bad feeling and wanted to get out as soon as possible.
"It shouldn't be more than 10 minutes to create an external hard drive with all the data downloaded onto it" replied Elijah as he focused on his work.
Suddenly a red alert sounded throughout the vault, "What!? The data is being transferred to an external source!" Elijah aggressively tried to stop the program but the overseers terminal had priority over the one Elijah had commandeered, "No! He's purging the data! That son of a bitch, all that technology, gone!" cried Elijah in anger as the mainframe erased all its data.
"Warning, Vault self-destruct program activated. Please exit the Vault in an orderly fashion and thank you for choosing Vault-Tech as your preferred post-apocalyptic survival bunker" James and Elijah were shocked that Minato would destroy the Vault than let them capture it. Immediately Elijah acted as he raced out of the room, pushing James out of the way as he tried to escape the Vault.
"All forces, this is General Barnaky, initiate phase 2 and place the village on lockdown. Do not let anyone escape!" ordered James on his B.O.S transmitter, he motioned for his paladins to follow him and they quickly ran after their leader to escape the Vault.

Ihaigakure North Wall
Kakashi and Naruto ran through the village, ducking into alleys and behind trashcans when Vipers or B.O.S Knights passed by them on their way to the frontlines.
Finally they reached the north wall, they climbed to the nearest sentry point and Kakashi reached into his cloak and prepared to rappel down the rope. Naruto looked toward the village to see the fighting had been centralized to town hall while some pockets of resistance still existed. He took out a pair of binoculars from his duffle bag and scanned the town, what he saw shocked him.
The Brotherhood had turned against the Vipers and started killing them. The raiders were taken by surprise and were being slaughtered by the traitorous Brotherhood forces. After most of the raiders were dead or fleeing, the Knights and Paladins began moving to crush all points of resistance and closed in on the town hall where a majority of Ihaigakure's defenders were located.
"Hey, stop right there!" yelled a Paladin that had spotted Kakashi and Naruto, Naruto froze as the Paladin raised his plasma rifle. Naruto closed his eyes and waited for death, but instead of the sound of an energy weapon, the boom of a rifle sounded. The blonde opened his eyes to see the Paladin on the ground with a hole in his helmet.
Blood rushed from the Paladins' helmet, Naruto had never witnessed a kill from up close. His kills always happened from the other side of a scope.
He was knocked out of his stupor when Kakashi grabbed him from behind and led him away, "We don't have time for sight-seeing, Naruto. We need to go now!" exclaimed Kakashi as he attached the harness to Naruto's cloths.
Naruto nodded and, like all the time he had trained to do, he rappelled down the North wall. Naruto landed on the other side of the wall and looked around his surroundings while Kakashi joined him.
"Where are we going Kakashi-niisan?" asked Naruto, Kakashi looked at his Pip-Boy for a minute before answering, "There's a secret Jonin hideout in the north, we can go…" Kakashi was interrupted when he jumped out of the way of multiple laser beams fired down on them. The duo looked up to see a squad of Brotherhood Paladins firing down on them, "Run Naruto!" exclaimed Kakashi as he aimed his assault rifle and fired on the B.O.S Paladins, pinning them down and giving Naruto time to run deeper into the outer pre-war city. The Paladins jumped down the wall and took a minute to adjust to the shock experienced from the jump before pursuing the shinobi into pre-war Newark.
Kakashi vs. B.O.S Paladins
Kakashi hid behind a stone wall as the B.O.S Paladins fired on his position; he strapped his assault rifle on his back, "Now I can show you why shinobi are feared…" Kakashi whispered as he activated his suits' camouflage system, disappearing from view, "Find those bastards, Commander Barnaky doesn't want any escapees!" ordered the squad captain.
Kakashi drew his Ripper and snuck up behind one of the Paladin, the Brotherhood soldiers combed the streets as they searched for their targets. Kakashi raised his ripper and slammed it into the Paladins' power armor engine, "Shit!" exclaimed the Paladin as he tried to get the ripper from his armor engine. Kakashi quickly snuck away while his fellow Paladins rushed to help only to be too late.
"Adams!" yelled the captain, Adams screamed in fear as the engine reached meltdown point and exploded in a miniature mushroom cloud. The force pushed the other three Paladins on their backs; Kakashi grabbed a grenade from his belt and pulled the pin, throwing it in the center of the three Paladins.
"Grenade!" cried one of the Paladins; the remaining squad quickly turned their back on the grenade to protect themselves from the blast.
BOOM!
Kakashi aimed his rifle from a nearby roof; the squad had failed to notice the smoking pre-war car. The car, already weakened by the grenade blast, only needed one more push before it reached its meltdown point.
The jonin aimed and pulled the trigger, the car exploded in a large mushroom cloud pushing the Brotherhood soldiers into buildings, ripping limbs off, and dosing them with an unhealthy amount of radiation.
Kakashi jumped off the building with his rifle pointed ahead of him, he neared the closest Brotherhood Paladin and kicked him. The soldier didn't move and Kakashi moved away to find the other 2.
"Campbell, come on man! Don't you die on me!" cried Captain Johnson as he tried to desperately wake up his last surviving squad member.
Kakashi quietly stalked up behind him and pulled the combat knife from his chest armor.
"L-Look out" muttered Campbell as he pointed behind Johnson, the Brotherhood captain acted quickly and grabbed Kakashi's arm. Kakashi and Johnson struggled to overpower the other, "Y-You s-son of a bitch! I'll kill you!" cried Johnson, his power armor overpowering Kakashi.
Kakashi kicked Johnson in the chest, sending him stumbling back. The jonin quickly swung his assault rifle and fired on Johnson. The armor-piercing bullets tore through his armor like paper and Johnson fell to the floor dead, Kakashi lowered his gun and breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't notice Campbell until it was too late, "D-Die you s-scum!" cried out Campbell before firing his laser pistol, the energy beam hit Kakashi in the abdomen.
The silver haired jonin cried in pain and fell to the ground before quickly pulling his 10mm pistol and putting a bullet through Campbell's' forehead.
Kakashi slowly picked himself up while hissing in pain; he reached into the cloak only to find he had run out of stimpak "Damn it" hissed Kakashi in pain before injecting himself with some Med-X, The jonin gave a sigh of relief and wrapped the wound before he began walking toward the jonin hideout he had sent Naruto to.
Never did the jonin know that the laser beam had cut open a major blood vessel, he wouldn't survive beyond the next day.
