*Title: Gelel: The Journey of Spartan-067.
*Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto nor do I own Halo.

*Author's Note:
"I have a few things to say before I get the story so let me explain a bit about what is going on.
Firstly, Naruto is part of the Spartan II Program and hence, he is Spartan-067 or Naruto-067. I have the book "Halo Evolutions" and where I get this number is from one of the mini-stories in the book where it involves one Spartans who failed the Augmentation Procedure, "Soren-066". In my story Naruto knows Soren and would be an older brother figure to him till Naruto and Soren come into contact with Doctor Catherine Halsey. Naruto is the oldest Spartan in the Program and was in the age requirement and would be force to undergo the procedure prematurely. That's as far as I'll explain.
Secondly, my question to all of you is that should I have Naruto wear the "Mjolnir Powered Assault Armor" and have it traditional like any other Spartan, or should I go with the "Hayabusa Powered Assault Armor." The armor itself was actually six years before the Mjolnir Powered Assault Armor second generation, which was the Mjolnir Powered Assault Armor V armor that Master Chief was wearing in Halo 1. Both armors are similar in every way, each containing its own energy shielding but Hayabusa Powered Assault Armor has a leaner build and one-third the weight of the current armor that Master Chief wears. The armor was designed for self-contained power, and it is compatible to candidates for the Spartan II's to wear. The reason why it is not so used is because it is very scarce and few are limited to wear.
There is a con to the armor, it is slightly slower and less dexterous than its MJOLNIR counterpart, though it is nonetheless highly effective and possesses most of the design features of the MJOLNIR Mark VI. Also the armor comes with a Katana!
Thirdly, what should I do about Cortana? Should I have her be Naruto's AI or should I have her be with Master Chief. I plan on following the Halo Games along with some of the other stories like "Halo Legends." I even decided on a pairing between Naruto and Cal-141 from Halo Legends.
Now we get to Naruto's power. Naruto has access to chakra, but along with it is another power called Gelel—like the first name in the title of the story. Gelel comes from the 2nd Naruto movie that predates the Shippūden Series meaning there is no Rasen-Shuriken or Bijū Mode. This Naruto has the "Kage Bunshin-no-Jutsu/ Tajū Kage Bunshin-no-Jutsu" and "Rasengan" techniques, but along with that are Gelel related abilities that will be featured in the story. Naruto is different than the average human, even without his chakra or Gelel related abilities he alone has shown impressive strength, speed and endurance, so this is on a whole different scale physically for him.
I guess that's everything, please review and give me some ideas and suggestions you may have along with answering some of my questions.

_Prologue — Spartan-067_
\\\
"What can you tell me about him?" Asking from behind a one way mirror Dr. Catherine Halsey had come to the planet Dwarka in search of candidates for the developing Spartan II Program, and after a few recent reports given to her, she found herself in a social service building watching a young blonde boy in an openly clear white room, his posture unlike that of the previous child. One of the workers of the social services standing beside her had a glass board with holographic images showing all sorts of details in hand—a young woman with brown hair and matching eyes.
"He's perfectly healthy when he came in, much healthier than the younger one No known birth records, no finger prints, absolutely nothing for us to find on him other than him telling us their names. It's…" she gave a short pause, looking at the glass clipboard where she read his name. "It's N, Na-Nar-Naruto" she tried to roll the word properly on her tongue.
"And last name?" Dr. Halsey questioned
"Uzu-ma-ki"
"Naruto Uzumaki" Halsey said altogether smoothly, furrowing her brows slightly. 'Those are names of Asian ethnicity. Uzumaki means whirlpool but Naruto is suppose to be a topping… no it wouldn't make sense if his parents chose a first name like that. If I remember correctly it also means maelstrom. Maelstrom whirlpool, that seems more likely' in her thought Halsey took the time to study him. He had darker blonde hair jutting out wildly in all directions, light colored skin and three thin lines adorn on each side of his cheeks. His eyes were closed, and his head was slightly down.
"What else do you know about him specifically?"
"The same as the younger boy, he walked 112 kilometers from the farmhouse and survived through the wilderness of Dwarka until they came to the nearest settlement. The parents died from a sickness that had been going around on the planet—nothing serious unless treated. They've probably been out their surviving the wilderness for the last six or seven months"
'Making them ideal candidates for the Spartan II Program' Halsey thought. She came here to observe if she could find more… promising children that could aid the future of mankind, which was Halsey's sole reason to see if these two could indeed be proper candidates for the program she had been developing for some time now. The younger boy, Soren, accepted her offer but outright refused if the older blonde would not be given the same offer as him. It was tough really. He was much older and it could bring complication. The necessary requirements were children of six and trained to the reaching age of twelve.
With this one, it might not work much like the previous Spartan I Program. She wasn't one to take a gamble; she was a scientist and believed in possibility. With a breath, Halsey walked in.
It was quiet. He didn't move or open his eyes from where he sat. He didn't really mind or care that she was in the room with him. Dr. Halsey could hear his breathing, small little pants of steady breath escaping from his nostrils and the movement of his chest. The moment between each other was becoming a silent one, seeing as he wasn't going to respond to her presence; Halsey decided she'd be the first to speak.
"Hello" she started basically, but he made no response. 'Perhaps he's just tired of having to deal with people; they had a few physiatrists' talk with them and he's shut himself off' Halsey surmised. She remembered her talk with Soren, he was weary of having to deal with more of those type of people since they tried to see if the trauma of having his parents' death. Feeling it to be a pointless effort she was ready to leave him be and wait and see if he'd do anything with Soren. 'He'll probably want to talk with him anyway.'
"You're not like them, are you?" he asked, there was an obviousness traced in his voice. He did surprise her somewhat, easily taken back by his question. Had he surmised so easily that she wasn't like the other people who came into the white room before her. It was interesting to say the least.
"Yes, I am a doctor, a scientist really. But how can you be so sure I'm not one of them?" Halsey questioned. Was it right for her to egg him on, question him the way she did. She did sound quite cynical when she did.
Slowly he opened his eyes and looked at her. 'Ugh, just what was that?!' Halsey thought taken back, for whatever strange reason she just felt this force move straight through and left her stomach to feel queasy and strength faint. Shaking her head lightly to the feeling it didn't however make her feel intimidated by the blonde staring at her. It was strange. His blonde hair just seemed to meld perfectly with his unique eye color, giving such an exotic look. But in those eyes there was something to them, something that she—the renowned brainchild—could not figure out. What was so daunting about his eyes was that they were perfect blood-red.
She saw him move his arm, then tapping the side of his nose with his index finger. "The smell" he said only before lowering his arm onto his knee.
'Smell' Halsey thought questionably. She reframed from actually getting a whiff of her white lab coat when he said that. Had there been chemicals on her? Halsey didn't believe so, and certainly not for him to actually be able to smell it off her if it was just a small amount of it—otherwise someone would have said something.
"How is Soren? Stressed likely from all the people coming to us about what happened, what did you two talk about?"
'There it is again. It's like he knows' with a lean eyebrow raised from his odd behavior Dr. Halsey chose to shrug it off. "He's fine, we talked for a little bit and I offered something to him. He said he was on board with the idea but said he won't do it unless you come along. So I'm here to ask the same thing to you too, only if you're interested?" Halsey explained, making the blonde chuckle.
"That sounds like Soren. We only met a year ago and he thinks of me as a big brother, I've got no problem with that it's just a bit of a hassle in taking such a responsibility. He reminds me of someone I knew" he seemed to reminisce to himself when he said that, but looked to the doctor standing in front of him. "What is it that you're offering?" he asked wearily.
Catherine Halsey was tight lipped when it came to the Spartan II Program. Even the slightest information about it was no joke to overlook because it was something horrible and completely immoral. She thought deeply every time wherever and whenever she came to visit various candidates. All of her candidates were children ranging from six, all of them abducted and replaced with Flash Clones that would die months later from natural causes and leave the parents and friends to believe the child really did die without any indication of their involvement. But involving this one here would be a minor problem, possibly a setback due to his age and may render the augmentation dangerous than it already was or even useless. There was a chance, a gamble she didn't like doing and would probably put him ahead of scheduling in the program.
Doctor Catherine Halsey would have to have the blonde ahead in the program and go straight to the augmentation procedure. What was he? Eleven or twelve, right on the age requirement for the augmentation to be performed, 'But hastening it would undoubtedly kill him when we'll only start with the 'Carbide Ceramic Ossification', Soren is a good candidate—a willing child rather than abduction like the others. He could die, Soren could survive and again he'd face another trauma. Yet the chances of him surviving or becoming impaired are very large, all of this would have just been another burden placed upon me for killing both of them just for this… it can't be helped. All my work had been leading up to this' Halsey sighed inwardly.
"I've been conducting something, an experiment. If it works the way we hope, you'll be stronger, faster and smarter than you could ever imagine" she explained without any specifics, just getting to few points.
"What's the catch?" he asked.
"The catch is that there is an age requirement. Soren is clear and will have plenty of time to get ready for it; unfortunately it leaves you with very little time to prepare for what we have, if you agree you'll have to undergo our procedure immediately" she couldn't make it sound any more serious than it already was.
Catherine Halsey saw him contemplate, his crimson eyes closing with a thoughtfulness look on his face. She wasn't sure what he was thinking specifically, but no doubt thinking about her offer carefully. That's when she saw the corner of his lips curve back, a faint grin on his face.
"Okay, I'm in" he got up and agreed.

A year ago he had faced against a madman who wanted to use the power of the Vein of Gelel to rule over the world, and with the Vein of Gelel and the Stone of Gelel he was granted formidable power. Uzumaki Naruto, alongside with one of the madman's former subordinates: Temujin who aided him in fighting his former leader where together they combined their strengths to defeat him. But their battle would break the seal placed upon the Vein and cause it to spiral out of control — threatening half of the continent.
The only way to stop it from destroying half the continent was for one of the royal blood members who first discovered the Vein, must sacrifice themselves by offering a blood summoning ritual that would bring forth an immeasurable power to destroy the Vein. What was summoned was a Space-Time Hole, a void that distorts the Space-Time Continuum. Temujin who willingly sacrificed himself to the ritual had accepted his fate, but Naruto did not. Despite Temujin's willingness he was rescued by Naruto during the active void.
But that proved to be Naruto last breath in his world. Using a chain of Shadow Clones he rescued Temujin by pulling his through the Vein's destruction, but the link was severed and fell into the void. Kahiko, an elderly member of the same clan as Temujin's told the blonde about the Space-Time Hole and what would happen. On that day, it was the last Naruto would ever see his world again.
Through some miracle did he manage to survive but he ended up in a strange world. He later came into contact with a boy name Soren and his family and a year later here he was.
During that time Naruto had succumb to the illness that Soren's parents underwent but survived due to his own healing factors. Soren's mother died from the disease and soon after Soren's step-father. It was only because of Soren's mother was he even allowed to live in their home and pull his weight in helping Soren's step-father. When the disease came, it was three days of suffering before he became immune to it. What Doctor Halsey and the rest of them didn't know was that the story, Naruto and Soren had given them had been a lie. Half of it was the truth but the rest wasn't.
Soren's step-father could have saved Soren's mother, but his work wasn't exactly legal. He was responsible for her death when she was sick and fell into despair and madness, believing she wasn't dead and locked her in their bedroom. Soren made his decisions, something he wouldn't blame him for and merely let him decide his actions against his step-father. Their actions of course led them to live in the wilderness that surrounded the farmhouse, surviving on grubs and squirrel-like creatures. When the sickness got Soren's step-father, the two of them buried both his mother and step-father in separate graves. Naruto personally asked why he would bury the man responsible for his mother's death. For someone who was six to seven years of age, Soren replied that he was better than his step-father.
Since then he and Soren home ate and slept at the only known shelter throughout an entire woodland region
During those months Naruto had discovered he possessed the same kind of power like Temujin, that power being Gelel. There were some things that survived through the rift and would aid him in controlling over his newly gained powers. The surviving material that helped him control over Gelel's energy was was a tome possessing all the knowledge there was about Gelel: the history of Temujin's people and the developments they attained with the aid of the Gelel Stone's power, the story of how the power of Gelel came to be discovered and used by Temujin's ancestors: the Book of Gelel.
Understanding its power, it was attributed and became a part of Naruto's power.
Their supplies would soon run low and with no other options, together they trekked 112 kilometers to the nearest human settlement. That was how Naruto found himself here. Placed into a room, Naruto was given all the time to contemplate about the things that had occurred in the last few days. Everything was strange and far advanced than his world. The machines that mimicked the airships to the Land of Snow were sleeker and more advance. He didn't know anything about what was happening or the things these people were capable of, but if it came down to Soren's life being endangered, he would fight to protect him and he took a precaution just in case.
With a breath he readied himself for this procedure.
