A.N. This is yet another idea of mine; hopefully more popular then my last idea, which I removed after four weeks with only one review. Anyways this is a xover with Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3. Naruto is taken in by Crown Prince Tatsu of the Empire of the Rising Sun. Naruto will return at age 18, after the Rising Sun campaign. In this fic the soldiers and non-important Nins from the elementals will have no name, and will simply be referred to by their ranks. I also think that people will want to know the power level of Imperial Shinobi compared to their Elemental counterparts; to put it bluntly they have Kage level stealth, weapons usage, and hand to hand; they don't need anything else because they are assassins and as such they don't fight like glorified Samurai. Also I'm moving Graduation and thus the whole series ahead by 6 years, so characters may be more mature or bigger ass wipes depending on how I feel.
Disclaimer (Only one for this fic): I don't own anything in this fic except concept.

Outskirts of Konoha: Four Years after the Kyuubi attack
A small group of black clad Imperial Shinobi, maybe thirteen in all, was waiting for their orders from their leader, Shinzo Nagama, outside of the city they were to infiltrate for Intel on whether or not the countries of this region would be accepting of Imperial dominance. Instead they received a shock when Prince Tatsu arrived to lead them in person. The Crown Prince was clad in Shinobi gear as well, but it had more armor to cover the arms and vitals as well as being more ornately designed with a Mask modeled after a Japanese Imperial Dragon's face. The lead Shinobi, as did the others, quickly bowed: "My Liege! Why are you here? It is not the place of Royalty to sully their hands with such tasks as the one we have been." The Prince smiled behind his Dragon Mask: "I decided to lead you myself for two reasons. The first is that I am curious about this place. It seems to be modeled after our own feudal period, but slightly more advanced (1914 level tech but no cars or guns). I also for some reason feel compelled to be here, I feel as though my destiny will take one of two paths from here. One which will ensure the Empire is victorious in the War we are preparing to wage. The other will damn our Nation to the pages of history as a failure."
Training Ground 44, aka The Forest of Death: 30 minutes later
The Shinobi team had completed its task quickly. The Hokage's tower was easy to infiltrate and acquire the information they needed. They had even snagged the Sandamie's personal Icha-Icha book. They were currently moving through a massive forest on their way to their exit point. They had made it maybe halfway through when they came across a horrific sight. In the middle of a clearing was the half naked and obviously abused form of a four-year old blonde boy. But the part that got to them was that he was crucified to tree with two tigers at the ready to eat him.
Without even a moments hesitation the Imperials intervened; killing the two tigers and freeing the child. One of the Shinobi, the one who was assigned to get the census for the village population, recognized him: "My Lord! That is Naruto Uzumaki, the village's resident punching bag and Demon container." The Shinobi then proceeded to explain as best he could what he meant to Tatsu, who was frowning: "No child should have to endure that. We're taking him with us. If my father or any one else protests their just shit out of luck." As he said that he slit his palm and let a little of his blood mingle with Naruto's. The Shinobis all knew what this meant, it was an ancient blood adoption ritual, and for all intents and purposes Naruto was now Tatsu's son by blood.
Tokyo, Imperial Palace: Four Days Later
It had been an interesting, yes that's the word, three days voyage by Shogun Battleship for the Imperials. Between keeping the hyperactive child who had never seen this level of technology from disrupting operations on the ship and starting to teach him what he would need to know to survive as the son of the heir to the Empire of the Rising Sun. They had barely managed to get manners pounded into his head, but that was all the progress they could make. Tatsu had spent another day getting Emperor Yoshiro to accept Naruto as his grandson. He had finally managed to get his father to accept it when he pulled the fact that he had used the blood adoption ritual; Yoshiro had not been happy but he accepted the fact that Naruto was now his Grandson, albeit unwanted.
Currently Naruto and his new father were in one of the many gardens in the palace's grounds. Naruto was awaiting the schedule his new Tou-san was going to give him about his training and education. Tatsu smiled as comfortingly as he could while he spoke: "For the next twelve years you will learn everything that you can from a select group of teachers and experts in their fields."
6:00 AM: Wake Up and Shower/wash-up (As he gets older, around nine or ten, he will shower)
6:15: Breakfast
6:30: Etiquette
7:00: Sword Training with Tatsu
9:00: Strategy with Shinzo and Kenji
11:00: Technology with Kenji and Tatsu/Target practice using guns with Lt. Kyo Mibu (he never make an appearance in the fic beyond this mention)
12:00 PM: Lunch
1:00: Stealth with Hanzo Hattori (He will never show up in the actual story. But he is a Ninja Clan leader.)
3:00: Hand to Hand with Kotaro Fuma (Again Ninja Leader but no impact on the story except for Naruto's training.)
5:00: Meditation and Zen gardening with Palace Geisha Girls
7:00: Dinner
8:00: Relaxation (basically whatever Naruto wants to do from Video Games to just relaxing in the Hot Springs)
9:00: Bed
Naruto gulped at the imposing schedule; but steeled himself, because he felt instinctively that his new father would not do anything to harm him. So with a slightly sinking feeling he nodded in acceptance (Like he had a choice! I all ways try to make him as Badass as possible within the confines of my initial concept). The training would begin the very next day.
Imperial Palace's Command Chamber: Twelve Years Later
Naruto was now five foot eight. His hair was more tamed then it was before, it was roughly shoulder length now and less spiky. His whisker marks had faded a lot because of the lack of near constant use of the Kyuubi's Chakra to heal his wounds from the beatings. He had also developed an impressive physique from all the training he went through, he had strength and speed in a perfect mix like an Olympic Athlete combined with a Heavy Weight MMA fighter. He was dressed in a more armored version of his father's clothing. He had a custom Katana at his side, with an in built energy projector that if activated would allow him to cut through a tank's armor.
Socially he had also developed. He had finally been accepted by his grandfather into the family fully and willingly. He had grown close to his personal Intel officer, Suki Toyama; even though she initially only believed herself to be a servant of the Imperial family he managed to get her to loosen up and the two of them hung out whenever they could get away with it. He had also met Yuriko Omega and befriended her, the main reason that they managed to become friends so quickly was because their past were similar somewhat in that they were mistreated and almost killed because of things outside of their control.
Now though he was linking his Battlenet, along with Shinzo Nagama, to an Imperial force off the coast of Russia. He had just received his Grandfather's first orders to him; he would be given the honor of commanding half of the Empire's first strike against the Soviet Union at Vorkuta Naval Base.
