AN: Ok, this is something that I feel should made before Typhoon Fleet. I'm not going to say much else except thanks to Outcastfur for his help in creating this fanfic. Y'all should check out his story "Am I More Than Just A Shell?" Which is also in the Naruto/Kantai Collection crossover section if you haven't already. That's it for now. Read the first installment.

Disclaimer: I don't own either Naruto or Kantai Collection.

Prologue: Taken by the Waves

Naruto had always known that the universe was out to get him. From the first time that he was beaten within an inch of his life by those pigs in human skin back in Konohagakure, to what was happening now. Naruto was currently falling to the frigid waves that surrounded Nami thanks to that fat prick Gatou having the bright idea to rig explosives underneath Tazuna's incomplete bridge, and be smart enough to position himself , with his army of thugs out of the blast's range when the fatass hit the detonator. Zabuza was eaten by the flames while Haku was already dead, impaled by the lightning incased hand of Kakashi Hatake, Naruto's silver – haired Jounin sensei. The rest of Naruto's team was safe from the blast, Naruto, and the Mist Demon being the only casualties. However, where Zabuza was given a mercifully quick death, Naruto went down with the bridge into the cold water below. The flames barely touched the blonde before the bridge beneath his feet gave out.

Naruto's vision exploded with stars when he fell painfully on top of a floating chunk of bridge, the wind knocked out of his lungs, and his body immobile as he tried to suck in air. Due to being stunned, Naruto didn't register the sound of something metal clattering against the falling sections of bridge. Naruto was snapped out of his daze when he could no longer feel his left arm. As in, it was no longer attached to his body. Instead where his collar should have met his shoulder, Naruto felt cold steel, and a sudden flow of a warm liquid. Naruto didn't realize that his arm was severed by Zabuza's Kubikiribocho until after the fact, and another large fragment of the destroyed bridge fell the lower part of his legs. The limbs were both pinned, and broken by the rubble. The increased weight accelerated the pace at which the chunk of stone already sank. A voice suddenly shouted his in horror, and disbelief.

By the time Naruto looked up to see who called his name, the tips of his spikey hair had fallen bellow the surface, and all Naruto could see was a blurry image of someone reaching out from the edge of the damaged bridge before the person pulled away with an enraged scream, muffled by the water. The sinking pieces of bridge once more gained pace, as if hurrying him to his watery grave. Naruto's vision began to darken as he sank deeper, though that may have also been from the amount of blood that Naruto lost, and continued to lose. The coldness of the surrounding water bit into Naruto, and he could tell his body was losing heat fast, and his lungs were almost out of air. Naruto could see the edges of his vision darken as a cruel laugh suddenly pierced the silence of his mind.

"HAHAHAHAHA! SOON! SOON I'LL BE FREEEEEEE!" Roared a dark voice full of joyful malice. Naruto felt the boulders that had dragged him to the depths break away from him, though he couldn't move due to crushed legs, and his mind was about to turn off. He had run out of air a few moments ago, now slowly sinking to the dark depths as the light was almost consumed by darkness. Naruto closed his eyes, knowing that there was no way he was going to live. Or was there?

Naruto felt something get pushed suddenly into his bleeding stump, and anchor itself tight around the area. There was something like a rubber seal around where his arm was removed, and Naruto could feel his blood get sucked into whatever was attached to him… And pumped back in.

Naruto lethargically turned his entire head to see what had latched on to him, and seemed keep his blood inside, and circulating around his body. His groggy eyes widened by a degree when saw what looked like a mechanical squid that lacked tentacles with large, fleshy lips that were latched onto Naruto. The only other detail Naruto's fading mind could make out was the single, blue-green eye that glowed in the darkening waters.

"ARE YOU FUCKING ME RIGHT NOW!?" The dark voice howled in rage. Obviously angered by the quick change of events. Naruto felt his body stabilize as the unknown voice gave a last bellow.

"I THOUGHT THOSE BOTTOM-DWELLING WHORES WHERE ERADICATED BEFORE I WAS BORN!"

Naruto would've laughed if he wasn't underwater, and his lungs weren't crying for air at the evil voices misfortune. Suddenly, Naruto felt a feminine hand delicately grasp his jaw, and something warm press softly against his lips, a fleshy object parted them, and Naruto could feel fresh air go into his lungs. All the blonde shinobi could make out was what looked like inky-black strands drift around with his failing vision. The warmth left, and Naruto felt the blood loss, and pain take their toll on him, his consciousness shut down as Naruto's eyes shut, but before he fell into a most peaceful sleep, Naruto heard a seductive voice whisper something almost sensually in his ear.

"Embrace the Abyss."

With a giggle, the woman that had rescued the knocked out blonde slowly lowed her prize into a coffin-like case, and shut the lid over him. The water inside was sucked out, leaving only fresh oxygen inside for the sleeping blonde, and the squid had kept itself stuck to Naruto, and used it's deceptively flexible metallic body to wrap around the shinobi's body. There was a transparent slit in the lid's which the woman leaned her body on top of, her glowing red eyes intensely focused on the closed ones within. She was sent to investigate the powerful energy signature that had been picked up from her dying base's sensors in a last-ditch effort to for her comrades to survive, and was beyond pleased to find the source handed to her on a silver platter. She knew however, that the human she had saved was by no means normal.

She didn't know if the human did or not given how his injuries must have effected him, but she sure did when saw his eyes transform into the hateful, cruel red eyes that could only belong to that beast created by that… by that monster that had almost drove her species into extinction about a thousand years ago! Now though, that being's creation would be the tool that would save her kind. This boy… he would be their savior, and then, they would show their gratitude to him by riding him of his human imperfection, and change him into one of them.

Of course, this would be after the source of power was removed from him, something that could kill him, but she had faith that this boy would survive. She felt that he was special, the enormous amount of energy- that chakra- that he contained aside from the beast's own was evidence to her of the belief she had in his will to survive. She would be the one to lead him to his purpose, to his destiny. It would take some time, but it was needed to ensure that both the fleet, and he would be ready. The woman tapped her finger softly on the glass, as if afraid to awaken the blonde inside before the proper time. She looked at the oversized cleaver of a sword in to the sinking rubble, swam over, and yanked it out with no effort.

She giggled again, the bubbles rose to the surface as she began to pull the casket that held her prize securely inside, sword In her other hand, down into the darkness at an abnormally fast speed. She wanted to return to her comrades as soon as possible. She had found their savior. She had found the source of their resurgence.

She had found their future Admiral.
