Hi all, fightingfalconfan here. I have read a lot of fan fiction on this site. I also know a lot about the U.S. air force and my favorite jet. I am also a big fan of the anime Naruto. This story has been bouncing in my head for quite some time now, just constantly replaying in my head over and over again. This story is a Naruto and Sakura fic. If you don't like that, then don't read it. It is also rated M. now I don't know if I will continue it. If I do, then it will because it is a good one and readers want more. I can't really tell when I would update this thing, because I do have a life out side of this. I am also a HUGE condition zero fan, a first person shooter game based on the pc. One last thing about me, is I love the band Disturbed. Anyway enough about me, here is my first fic of Naruto, and my first fic in like 4 or so years.
Disclaimer, I don't own Naruto. If I did, I would not only be rich, but Naruto and Sakura would have been together after Naruto failed to bring back sauske from the valley of the end. I also don't own the song used in this chapter INDESTRUCTIBLE by Disturbed. They are bad ass.

CHAPTER 1
It was a normal busy day for the konoha air force. Different types of fighters and cargo aircraft getting ready to depart on various missions across fire country. The base was quite big and held about 6 squads of fighters. 3 squads for the f-16 fighting falcon; A light weight multi-role fighter capable of hitting a target from about 40 miles away in the sky and from 15 miles away on the ground. Its single Pratt& Whitney engine producing over 28,000 lbs of pure thrust. Not including the added power of the afterburner. The other 3 squads used the famed f-15 E strike eagle. A twin engine air superiority fighter able of decimate both in long range and in close "dog fighting" proximity to the enemy if need be. One of the falcon squad leaders was getting ready to go out to his beloved falcon, after being in the briefing room for about an hour while his commanding officer was detailing his mission to go to rock country for a "surprise hit and run bombing raid".
Yes it was war with the village of Rock again. They have been at war for around 3 months now. The leader of his squad had quickly become his squad's first ACE achieving that in as little as 6 weeks. He was a somewhat tall guy of about 6 foot 1 inch and a force to be reckoned with. He joined the air force academy when he was young. Just about 17 years of age as a jr. pilot. When he turned 18, he was immediately shoved into the fighter pilot training program and became the top of his class. The leader was not only tall, but he had spiky blond hair, blue eyes and 6 whisker-like marks on his checks. He got them from some shrapnel hitting him when he was training and had to bail out of his jet. He had the basic fighter pilot attire on. A greenish full body jump-suit that had only two patches on his chest. One had the shape of air force wings meaning he was a pilot. Just below that on the same patch; his name, his call sign, and rank. On the other patch had his squad name, number, and wings he belonged to. He had a standard pilot helmet and mask in his hand and a G-suit for countering the G forces he pulled on his training missions and real missions. His name was Naruto Uzumaki.
His wingman for this assignment was nearly the complete opposite of him. Showed hardly any emotion but was a good wingman to have. He was the top of his class too. Nearly every pilot both civilian and military wanted to be like him. He was around Naruto's height had black hair and black eye's. He had the same attire as Naruto too. Since he was an air force fighter pilot, they had pretty much the same thing when flying, just different under shirts that you could only see at the top of the jump suit that they wore. His name was Sauske Uchiha. One of the best known families of fighter pilots to ever serve the Konoha air force. That is next to the Uzumaki. Not much was known about the Uzumaki; just that Naruto was the sole survivor.
The 2 wingmen walked out to their individual falcons and walked around them doing what all pilots do. A visual inspection to see how their aircraft was doing and to see what armament they were going to carry and to see how tight the weapons on the pylons were from under the wing. After the inspection, both Naruto and Sauske handed their helmets to the crew chief of their aircraft, saluted them and the chiefs told them of any possible errors the flight system had or radar. This time, there was nothing to tell. All system's had been fixed from the previous flight and the planes were ready to take to the sky's again. Once the small talk was over with; both Naruto and Sauske climbed the short ladder to get into the cockpit of their plane. Once in and sitting in the seat of the plane, the chief's climbed up behind them and helped each pilot get strapped in and connected the O2 hose to the pilots mask, radio COM link and a tiny air hose so when they pulled past 2 G's the G suit would inflate air pillows at there waist and legs to keep them from blacking out. Once all that was done, the crew chief's climbed down the ladder and removed them from the aircraft. Both aircraft bubble style canopy's closed around the pilot locking them in.
Ten minutes later, both planes had the engine's running and the different flaps to control the plane's were being tested to see if they worked correctly. Once that was done, Naruto called the base tower for clearance to taxi to a assigned runway for take off.
"Konoha Tower, this is falcon 1 2 requesting clearance for departure for mission hit and run over." Naruto said over his comm. Link.
"Falcon 1 2, you are cleared to use taxiway Alpha 1 to runway 5L over." One of the air traffic control operators said back.
"Copy that tower, Falcon 1 2 out." Naruto said back and signaled to his crew chief that he was ready to go.
"Falcon 1 3, you are second to depart after Falcon 1 2 for runway 5L." said the air traffic controller.
"Rodger that tower Falcon 1 3 second to depart after Falcon 1 2 for runway 5L." Sauske said confirming he herd the taxi instruction.
After both pilots got clearance to taxi, they signaled their crew chief's to remove the wheel chucks from the back wheels of the planes. Once that was done, they set the left handed throttle to about 5% and used the rudder peddles to turn the front wheel were they wanted to go. Five minutes later they came to runway 5L and asked for clearance to take off.
"Tower, this is falcon 1 2 ready for takeoff at runway 5L." Naruto said into his com link.
"Falcon 1 2, you are cleared for takeoff at runway 5L. Take off with a heading of 020 till you hit 2000 feet." The air traffic controller said back.
Both pilots did as told and taxied onto runway 5L and came to a stop aligning the nose with the center of the huge runway. They did last minute engine and flight system checks before putting the plane's in full military power.(without afterburner yet.) They released the wheel brakes and started to accelerate to 50 knots. Once at 50 knots, they pushed the throttles past the 100 % mark and kicked the engines into full afterburner. Now things went by really quick. In no time at all, they had reached flight speed of about 155 knots and gently applied back pressure to the right side mounted flight stick and pointed the nose of the aircraft skywards.
Once they had gotten about 500 feet above the rest of the runway they pushed the landing gear lever up and the wheels tucked into the wheel wells of the aircraft as the flaps covered them up. While that was happening; the flaps on the wings came up and they now just had the weapons hanging from the wings. One device on the belly of the aircraft was the ALQ-131 radar jamming pod. Now that the landing gear and flaps were up. They pulled back on the stick some more and gained altitude. The altimeter broke past the 2000 ft mark and the Konoha tower radioed that they were free to resume own navigation. Naruto got his Ipod out, did some rework of his Com link wiring to his oxygen mask and hooked every thing back up. He just couldn't fly right without his rock music of Disturbed. Especially there newest album; INDESTRUCTIBLE. He just loved that song. After that was completed, he talked through his com link again; this time to his wingman.
"Hey lets turn to our mission heading now so we can get this over with." Naruto said
"Yea, I want to get the mission done with ASAP. I believe we are to be at a heading of 260 and 10,000 feet." Sauske said.
"Yup, that's correct. Looks like you did pay attention to the briefing after all." Naruto said sarcastically.
"Not really, just looked at my mission briefing paper here." Sauske said back.
"What ever lets just get this over with. I want to see someone after this." Naruto said.
He then banked his wings to the right a full 90 degree's and applied back pressure on the stick to make the turn faster. He hit a G load of about 3 G's for a few seconds until the heading on the HUD in front of him read 260. Sauske did the same thing and turned with him. They leveled off the turn and continued to climb until 10,000 ft were they went into level flight. Naruto then played INDESTRUCTIBLE by Disturbed. Sauske was somewhat annoyed by his team mate, but at least it was that song and not some others.
Whew. First possible chapter done. I am not sure if you guys will get everything of what I wrote. All the com link is what really happens for pilots; Especially the fighter pilots. They have to know more pilot code then anyone else. Some stuff I forgot to mention in the story was that after take off, they put the throttle back by around 80% of the plane's maximum and stayed steady at 275 knots. That's about 250 mph. I was originally going to make the story where Naruto was a U.S. fighter pilot, but I though nah, keep him sort of canon and make it a modern day AU konoha. The other Naruto characters will be brought up in possible later chapters if this one doesn't get shot down and burn in flames hitting the earth. If you want picture aids to help with what the plane looks like and what the basic gear for air force fighter pilots wear. I will have links to those in my profile. Now you don't have to leave a review if you don't want to. If you do thank you. If not, thanks for reading anyway. But I would like it if I knew you liked it and want to see more. But I am vary pleased at what I wrote so far.
