"I wonder… if a man lost everything dear and precious, then… what is left?"—Uzumaki Naruto.

The year 2025 is a hard year. Not only for Japan, but for the entire world. In 2013, a group of international terrorist; he might as well call them a nation, threatened the entire country for unconditional surrender. They threatened for the destruction of all the continents, Europe, the Americans, Asia… all of them. They are called the United Armed Forces of World Domination or UAFWD for short. The threat was first received by the boys in the States. Based on reports, the US did not take the threat lightly—they underestimated it.

As a consequence, the US is now left with only 45 states. Florida, Virginia, Mississippi, Louisiana and Georgia were wiped off the US map just like that. It's a miracle that neighboring states such as; Kansas, Alabama, the Carolinas and Tennessee aren't really off the map. Needless to say, the US suffered moderate losses. It's a wonder why this terrorist group didn't hit the capital, which is D.C. Some theorized that the destruction of the five states were signs of threat; saying that these terrorists aren't to be taken likely. The attack was done via bombs, which are remotely fired from all across the globe. Neighboring countries were suspected, but none admitted that they are responsible. That caused people to suspect that these terrorist are not just one country, but they are people united from countries all across the globe; with world domination as their objective.

The US understood what must be done and that is to eliminate said threat. Two weeks after the bomb was dropped, America and its allies held a conference meeting regarding the topic at hand. The UAFWD. Japan, Germany, Russia, France, China, Britain… all the major countries are there. Some allied countries attended too, worried for their nation's safety. At that meeting, decisions were made, plans planned and action done. All the countries that are willing to participate in the elimination of the terrorist threat will join together in both objective and vision. And that is to prevent further attacks just like what had happened in the US to other countries.

So, the UAF was formed. UAF stands for United Allied Forces. A silent bite at the terrorist's title. However, the advancement of these countries seemed to be urging the terrorists even further. Per months, countries all over the world were attacked; both directly and indirectly. Bombs, bio-chem attacks, and conspiracies were started. Little by the little, the world began to fall. The UAF done everything they can on getting leads about their counterpart, but every lead leads to holes. Every op they planned benefits them little; all the resources, manpower and effort are rewarded only slightly rewarded.

It came to a theory that the UAFWD has no apparent leader, nor even council. Some even believed that they are the countries' shadows with different views from their government; a group of capable people agreeing to one sole cause and that is world domination. Nations shuddered at the thought that these people lives amongst them; countries are divided, civil war happened and losses from all over the world are great.

But that is not all; then, it happened.

On summer 2014, nuclear bombs were launched. To where? To every single countries there is on earth. The whole thing caused massive and horrid changes. The Great Britain is torn apart, the Mighty Americans are no longer united, the Advanced Japan has secluded themselves, the Wealthy China has gone dark… Nuclear warfare has descended upon earth. But why? Why do this? From where were the missiles launched?

Those questions are still a mystery even until now.

Now, there are still people, the UAF, willing to continue their task of preventing and eliminating the UAFWD. From then, the Ship Girls are born. This project came from a group of international scientists who suggested methods to improve equipments and technology for the UAF. These ship girls are humanoid, android like version of real life battleships from the war. They are designed to have the body of a human, yet the functionality of a ship. They could float on water, fire ship sized armaments…

Upon hearing this, the UAF launched the project immediately; marking is a triple Secret and confidential project. Research of these ship girls were done in secret; along with the production. The names, designs are based on real life naval ships who served in the second Great War. All naval fleet belonging to countries which participated in the war are re-designed into these ship girls. Most of them came from the IJN or Imperial Japanese Navy, seeing that they were the strongest in naval technologies at that time.

Procedures were done, prototypes were made… one might wonder where does all the resources for these ship girls came from. That answer is classified and only the development team holds that knowledge. Years passed and these ship girls came to operational; serving by protecting the seas for the UAF. The UAFWD were not expecting such technologically advanced soldiers—equipment. At the year 2017, the Ship Girls Project was made known to the bases and allied troops from all over the world; intelligences were leaked, but they are altered at the same time.

Rumors became rumors, the further they went the more inaccurate they become. In terms of naval power, the UAF definitely defeats the UAFWD.

That is until recently.

In 2020, allied naval bases from all over the world were turned to rubbles. The cause? UAFWD. But how? The answer is simple; they managed to build their own version of these ship girls. The news was gravening for the allied forces; their arch enemies had come to rival them in terms of power, after all. Drastic measures were taken, mass production of the allied ship girls was done in order to battle the enemy's own naval strength. It took the allied forces three whole years to regain some of the important bases while suffering major losses at the same time.

But, it all came to a surprising conclusion. Not only on land; but the UAFWD is strong at sea too.

The UAF lost hope. For them, it seems that no form of salvation could come. But—

He happened.

Uzumaki Naruto sighed. Looking out the window, he's gazing over the starry night sky from his office. Aside from the pitch black, star decorated sky; he also got a good view of the sea. The calm sea with small winds, causing waves to appear around the coastline. From the window's slight reflection, he could see a picture of him hanged on the wall behind him. It's him dressed in a white, naval officer uniform, complete with the hat and medals pinned to his uniform; not all of them of course.

On the shelf right beside his wooden desk; a glass display, shows row of medals that he earned in his career. But, he could only care less for those things. Medals are just symbols for him; important but nothing that needs to be overly viewed. He got them through all the effort and hard work he put up. He remembered what time was like when he was just a lieutenant serving as an assistant captain. He could barely command his first fleet; something that is still very fresh unto this day.

Now here he is, over twenty years of age; some might call him young, but he felt like he's been doing this for over fifty years. It probably won't be long until he say things like 'I'm too old for this shit' or like that. He chuckled at the mental thought, thinking how amusing it is. But sadly, he can't spare any more amusement right now. He got papers to check, but sadly, he's not in the right mood. He received word from HQ saying that he'll be moved to another naval base in the Pacific. His current base is located near the coastal lines of Japan, a safe haven of some sort.

Resources are no problem here, since getting raw materials is as easy as it is. The same goes for back-ups, in case of baddies attacks. But to be suddenly transferred to another base in the Pacific… what were the dudes in HQ thinking? Are there movements on UAFWDs in the middle of the sea? He highly doubts that, unless, they have their own armada laying around.

PING

A notification on his receiver went off. Naruto walked over to his desk, where he pressed a small green button from underneath his desk. A blue 3-D transparent screen was projected; the screen shows static before settling in. Naruto stood straight, something that is common when serving in the army. On the screen appears the face of an aged man about in his early sixties; he is dressed in the same manner as Naruto but instead of white and black, he's wearing black and red.

"General." Naruto saluted.

"At ease admiral." The old man on the screen said. To which Naruto did as he was instructed. The man paused for a second before resuming his speech. "Your transport to the base in the Pacific will be arriving shortly, you will go there via helicopter. The reason why you are transferred is because the base's admiral was dismissed for… court martial." Naruto raised an eye at that particular detail. "More details will be transferred to your terminal. Upon arriving, you are to form a fleet of your own and act as a permanent commanding officer on that base. Supplies and resources will be delivered every three months; so please do be aware of the current resources that the base has, admiral."

In other words, little to none.

"That is all, now, any questions?" the man from the other end of the screen asked.

"Permission to speak freely?"

"Granted."

"…Isn't this… fucked up, for me I mean." the blonde haired admiral said bluntly.

The old man on the other side of the screen let out a hearty laugh. "Indeed it is Naruto-kun. But it is necessary at the moment. We have reports that the UAFWD has started to expand their territory by taking over naval bases along the pacific. They might also be making their own bases even as we speak." Just as he thought… the general from the other end of the screen noticed the change of expression on the admiral's face. "By seeing you, I guess you suspected it already. Ahem, anyway, all admirals that are stationed near HQ will be transferred to bases further away, either acting as a superior or assistant admirals."

"What of the threat itself, the UAFWDs?" Naruto asked for clarification.

"Nothing else except the fact that they are expanding their armada is known." A grim look looms over the aged general's face; gone is the hearted and warm expression he had before, alongside the strict and serious atmosphere; replaced with a grim and silent one. "After what they did to Tokyo… Japan won't be the same ever again."

The missile strike that was aimed at Japan landed on Tokyo. It's like Nagasaki and Hiroshima all over again. But the difference is that Japan's Prime Minister was attending a national meeting back then… it caused major outrage through Japan, because the Prime Minister himself was dead due to the bombing. Theories stating that the UAFWD might have gathered intelligence on the meeting weeks before the meeting was held were brought up, both from the public and the government. That just brought questions like, 'who leaked the intel' and 'why would they do this?'.

"That is all, admiral. See to it that you are prepared for your transfer. Oh, one more thing." Naruto blinked. "Please don't treat the girls like you do to the boys over at the navy. I don't want to have reports coming from them stating that they have a 'bastard' for an admiral." Just like that, the video chat is over, the hologram projection gone.

Instead of contemplating on that last advice, Naruto grinned manically. "Well, that's going to be a hard thing to promise Jii-chan…Kukukuku." Dark amused laughter came from his throat, ringing clear in the empty office he's in. "Well…" the grin on his face turned dark. "I better get myself a new set of paint."

If one were to take the naval base from a distance, they would notice the orange painted deck, along with the many ships painted in bright neon orange. The numerous numbers of warehouses are painted in black and dark orange, along with the cranes that towers among the buildings there. The appearance of this naval base is, safe to say, different than the usual ones.

"So… do you know when our new admiral will arrive?"

"Hmm… he'll be here sometime today."

"It's like… one in the morning, it's still dark."

"That's what the report said, if you want to know more why don't you go and contact HQ yourself."

"Sheesh… no need to be grumpy."

"Hmph."

"H-Hawawawa! Don't fight please, both of you!"

It was a special day on the Northern Eastern Pacific naval base; a base that is literally placed in the middle of the sea, one would call it a small manmade island filled with ships and other naval base required facilities like docks, construction site for ships, med-bay etc. Comparing this base to the neighboring friendly base; this isn't as big as most of them. The previous admiral wasn't… skilled enough to manage his base, let alone his ship girls.

This naval base is currently on standby due to the reason being the admiral's relieved from duty.

Speaking of ship girls… Akatsuki class Destroyer Inazuma could only stand and flail her arms in panic over her bickering comrades. Her small and petite figure could barely be a hindrance for the two much stronger and heavier ship girls. After all, she is just a Destroyer. She can't really stop a Light Cruiser and a Heavy Cruiser from fighting; provided the reasons.

Inazuma is a ship girl; and just like most of the Destroyer class out there, especially the Akatsuki class, she is short in stature. Like her sister ships, she is dressed in a blue and white serafuku along with the matching blue skirt; her hair is colored hazel to which is kept long yet tied to keep them from falling over her back. Her eyes are a beautiful shade of light brown; almost orange. Her face is round and immature; most of the Destroyers are designed to appear childlike.

"Tch…! Talking with'er is always a bother 'nyway…" one of the two girls who were arguing before muttered under her breath.

"Wazzat you one eyed trash talking junk?" it looks like the other girl heard what her fellow ship girl said. "You think I'm deaf? Well sorry for having those bunny like ears like you got!"

"Hey! They're not ears! Why you little…" the sound of foot stomping suggested that the offended is ready to get physical.

"Hmph. Like you scare me."

Inazuma can't take it any longer. "Stop it you two!" she jumped in front of the two girls who are ready to tear each others' clothing apart; and by that mental image, she meant it literally. Spreading her small and short arms; Inazuma stood in the middle of the two opposing girls, her eyes closed and knees visibly shaking. "D-Don't fight, please! It will only make us look back in front of the admiral should he hear about this."

"Tch." Both girls clicked their tongues. The Destroyer is right. Surveillances were installed recently in this base, but that doesn't mean that it's not active. The camera placed on the corner of the office is on, and surely recorded everything; only video, no mics input were installed due to this model being the cheapest. The girl with the so called 'bunny' ears sighed deeply; she brushed her forehead with her sleeve. "Heh, at least I'll know that that person (admiral) will come."

This is Tenryuu. The original Tenryuu class CL in all of her tomboyish glory. Tenryuu is a tall girl with a short purple hair and yellow eyes; though her other one, the left, is covered by a black eye patch. She is dressed boyishly, and it blends in well with her attitude. She wears a white buttoned collared shirt with the sleeves rolled up underneath the black buttoned cardigan that she is wearing. For her lower attire, she wears a short light black, borderline grey, skirt. She also wears a pair of black thighhighs, along with a pair of black shoes when not at sea.

The Light Cruiser is holding up a flippant and smug expression on her face, in hopes of irking the other girl off. The other girl unfortunately did not reply in the manner that Tenryuu wanted her to be. "Heeh? Then what's with asking me about the admiral's ETA, hm? Hm?" a teasing smirk is spread on her face; one that Tenryuu hates.

This is Maya. She is notably tall, but not as tall as Tenryuu. Being a Heavy Cruiser means that she has large boiler tanks—one who is familiar with ship girls anatomy could take a single look at her and know what does it means to have large boiler tanks. Her hair is dark shade of brown; she preferable kept them short just about her shoulder level. She wears a sleeveless blue serafuku with white collar; the color of her ribbon is red so does the threads. Her skirt is white; with a line of red thread circling over it. She wears a hairclip that is difficult to describe; and masts like armaments are protruding from her head.

"S-S-Shut up!" the flushed Light Cruiser stuttered while pointing a threatening finger at Maya. "I-I was just not aware of the time of arrival, okay?!" gritting her teeth, she seethe in irritation over the fact that she'd lost the argument.

Maya's smrik grew wider, she looked away to the side while shrugging both of her shoulders. "Mah, whatever you say." She began walking outside of the office with a satisfied look on her face. It's nice to win in trivial things…

"O-Oi! Don't turn your back on me you smug bastard!"

"Hawawawa! Tenryuu-san, Maya-san, please don't fight!"

The three then began to continue their early morning routine of bickering. Inazuma is trying to keep the two from fighting, while Tenryuu and Maya are glaring lasers at each others' eyes; with Tenryuu being the one easily teased. Normally, behavior like this would not be tolerated in a naval base. Arguing and fighting would be reprimanded strictly as per regulation. If they have time arguing like little kids, then what good would they be in the navy… at least that's how the saying goes.

While the three of them are busy bickering amongst each other; they fail to notice the beeping of intercom from the admiral's desk. This goes on for another session; the three girls are so kept on their verbal scuffle that they failed to notice the sound for the next thirty seconds. "Wait!" finally, Inazuma notices. Tenryuu and Maya stopped, turning their focus on the little Destroyer class. Then the two noticed the beeping sound coming from the intercom. "A message!" the three shouted at the same time; before dashing towards the desk to play the message.

Being the one closest to the desk, Tenryuu pressed the button that is located just underneath the desk's surface. A hologram popped out from the projector installed on the table. The blue hologram screen popped up, revealing a face. The face belongs to a masked individual; no doubt a pilot. The head protection gear and the comms device attached to the gear.

"Naval base, this is EVA-1 requesting permission to land on deck. Landing ETA in about… ten minutes."

"Permission granted." Tenryuu replied.

"Thank you Naval base." The screen faded out, leaving nothing but air.

Without further bantering, the three ship girls; kanmusu, rushed out of the office towards the entrance of the main building. They scurried and ran, violating the 'no running' rule that this base originally had. But that has no importance as of now—because the V.I.P has arrived. The girls made quick work of the halls; quickly approaching the door that leads outside of the main building. Inazuma was the first to reach the door due to her being the first out of the two when it comes to speed.

Taking a moment to open the door; she then swings it open only to feel wind and dust hitting her face. Using her hands to shield herself from the wind, she drew skyward to see a transport aircraft landing vertically on the empty space right in front of the main building. The aircraft was a chopper, its rotor spinning; keeping it levitated from the ground. Tenryuu and Maya are forced to cover their eyes too, or eye in Tenryuu's case. From their hindered view; they could see the helicopter's door opening and a rope was released. From there, a figure dressed in white rappel out from the chopper using the rope. The person clad in white landed safely and with ease on the ground; the person raised his hand and gave the pilot a thumb up signaling that he's landed.

The pilot complies by pulling the rope back inside the chopper and closing the door shut; eventually, the chopper distanced itself from the base, leaving for good. The sound of helicopter rotors buzzing is slowly becoming distant; so does the helicopter. All that is left from the helicopter is the person standing with his back faced towards the three girls who are standing in front of the doorway. In an instant, he turned 180 degree to face the girls; finally showing his features.

He is a man standing at a tall stature, easily towering over all the three girls at once. He is also dressed in a white naval officer uniform complete with the accessories; gloves, hat, pins and so the like. His facial feature is something that no one could easily forget. Having an angular jaw, he is also blessed with a pair of azure blue eyes that could easily rival both the blue sky and sea. Though the lights that provide vision for the base are on; the three girls couldn't quite see his face. But they could clearly see his walking form as he began walking towards them.

Throwing out whatever excitement they have, Inazuma, Tenryuu and Maya formed a horizontal line; they stood straight and tall knowing that the person approaching is their newest Commanding Officer. The line arrangement begins with Tenryuu, Maya in the middle and Inazuma as the last. They've arranged themselves according to height; and as it is commonly known, the one at the most left will be the one speaking in case if questions were asked. Which means that Inazuma will be the one doing the talking.

"Attention!" as Inazuma spoke out the command, all three of them salutes the approaching officer. When he reached an appropriate distance, the three ship girls could finally see his face. Each of them has similar thoughts. 'Are those… whiskers?' their admiral, who has the face of a foreigner despite being affiliated with the IJN, also has three whiskers like marks on his face. Those are not scars, as they lack the detail for them to become one.

"At ease girls." His voice is gruff, yet not too deep and not too high. He is clearly young; as if looking first glance wasn't enough. In a synchronized timing, all three girls spread their feet apart and fold their arms on their back at the same time. Their eye contact is not kept at any particular detail; only at the image of the dark sea beyond them. Staring at a higher ranking officer would be rude and a high form of punishment could be executed just from that.

The admiral's blue eyes seem calm; he analyzed the aligned girls standing in front of him. He could easily tell which one is which. Which is a Light Cruiser, Heavy Cruiser and Destroyer. His muted silence only seems to have serve as a sign of standby for the girls. Noticing this, he allowed a grin to form on his face. "My name is Uzumaki Naruto, your newest CO." then suddenly, that grin of his turned dark, darker than night itself. "Let's get along well, ne? Kukuku…"

It took four weeks… four freaking weeks for Inazuma, Tenryuu and Maya to realize that they have gotten an admiral far worse than the one they did before.

"F-First fleet returning from sortie!"

Inazuma, acting as the fleet's flagship, announced with little stutter. She is not in her best state at the moment; so does Tenryuu and Maya for that matter. The past four weeks with their newest admiral has been literal… hell. It has been quite some time after their last sortie; seeing that they are lacking in a commanding officer for almost a month. So, admiral Uzumaki—Naruto, send them on their first sortie. Without armaments. Yup, that is right people. This person, Admiral Uzumaki Naruto, ordered his ship girls to go out on sorties without any armaments. How did he convince them? That, is something that they would not answer even if their life depends on it. Not for pride, not out of fear; but for safety. Did he threaten them with scrapping? Nope. Physically? Not quite. Mentally? Again, not so.

Let's just say that they never knew that paint could be so terrifying.

"You…you…you bastard admiral…" unlike her two comrades, Tenryuu took the floor first. Her face planted on the peerless white floor. She lays on the ground, panting and heaving heavily. This is much, much worse than being sent off to E-5 with full armaments and returning suffering major damage. Returning from E-2 without armaments, having forced to escape from hostile ships, and doing so without receiving any backup since the bastard admiral refuses to plan for even a construction… in short, this is hell. A hell that is worse than midway.

"Haah…haah… you…" Maya did not have any energy to even comment about their admiral's attitude. She lay on the ground next to Tenryuu; but the only differences is that she's laying on her back, not front. Her chest heaves up and down as she pants heavily from the sheer amount of fatigue she's feeling. Her engines are overheating, and never in her life has she felt this overheated before.

From his seat, Naruto completely ignores the three. Instead, he is focusing on something entirely else. "Hehehe… Ayumi-chan, you naughty, naughty girl. Ohoo?! Toyama-kun and Shia-?! I never knew! That two timing jerk!" holding an orange book with the title 'Icha Icha Paradise: The devil's secret'; Commanding Admiral Uzumaki Naruto is doing his daily routine of immersing himself with fine literature. Heathens who call this piece of magnificent art as 'porn' could die and sink in the bottom of the blazing sea for all he cares.

Tenryuu, having enough of the whole thing, groggily stood from her spot and took three steps forward towards the desk. "STOP READING YA' BASTARD ADMIRAL!" the tired CL shouted at the top of her lungs—or whatever organ that she has in order for her to breath. She panted, her face growing red as steam began to seemingly come out from her ears. Not the ones on top of hers, by the way.

Seated in silence; the blonde haired CO simply gave Tenryuu a flat look. "Shut up you chunni, want me to ram my torpedo into yer' mouth?"

Something snapped. Not outside, but inside. Tenryuu shook visibly, from arms to legs. "That's it… This. Is. The. Last. Straw." Her eyes shadowed by her bangs; Tenryuu then stormed out from the room without saying anything. The sound of her footsteps rung loud and clear in the empty naval base.

"T-Tenryuu-san!" Inazuma shouted, making an effort to stop the storming woman. But unfortunately, she wasn't quick enough. Confused and panic, she turned towards her admiral. "Hawawa—what should we do commander?"

"Let her be." Naruto dismissed with a wave of his hand. He pulled out another orange covered book from his drawer; he began opening pages to resume where he was reading before. "She'll be fine after some time." From his tone alone, he's speaking uncaringly. Like someone who is bored out of his wits. With gloved fingers, he turned a page on his book.

"What's with that attitude huh?" apparently, Tenryuu's not the only who is sick and tired of their admiral's attitude. Maya, despite being tired and worn out, glared at her CO without the slightest hint of fear. "You think that because you're our admiral that you can do whatever the heck you want?! You're the worst admiral ever, I'm starting to regret the fact that they pulled the previous admiral out." She walks out from the office, closing the door behind. Loud.

"M-Maya-san…" Inazuma muttered. She gazed at the door, where Maya had gone through.

"Inazuma."

She flinched at hearing her name being called by none other than the admiral himself. She looked down as her shoulder tenses. "H-H-Hai!" she squeaked out.

"Aren't you going to get out too?" Naruto asked. His eyes did not turn from the book he's reading; much less bothering to face her.

Confused, Inazuma grew quiet. She can't answer him. The reason? She… she doesn't know. "E-Eh… No…" she settled in with that answer.

"Oho? And why is that?"

She slowly raised her head to look at her CO. "I-I am sure that admiral has his reason for doing this… I mean, letting us out on sorties without any armaments for four weeks isn't something normal, right? I-I mean that in a good way, I…eh… I…!" she struggled, not knowing what to say anymore. She closed her eyes, prepared for any shouting that her admiral would give at her.

"Hee? Is that so?" he closed his book with a resounding snap. "I see. Then, dismissed. You can dock right away; have a break tomorrow, the same goes for the day after." He said without as much bothering to look at her.

"U-Um…" in her state, Inazuma managed to speak. "What about Tenryuu-san and Maya-san?"

"They will still go on sortie. I'm only allowing you to have a break for tomorrow." He speaks as he arranged some files that are scattered on his desk.

"THAT'S UNFAIR ADMIRAL!"

Stopping whatever it is that he is doing; Naruto slowly turned his head, focusing on the Destroyer in front of him. Inazuma never shouts; much less at him. He saw Inazuma's expression; a mix between being offended and hurt, beyond those eyes, he could see the disappointment bleeding through. "That's unacceptable, admiral! I can't afford to stand here and wait while Tenryuu-san and Maya-san are going out to face enemy ships!"

"What if I tell you that they'll be bringing along their armaments?" he asked.

"Still…!" Inazuma reasoned. "I can't… I can't even think about me staying here while my comrades are out there at the sea; risking their lives." She gave her admiral a strong look. "Even if I have to be punished for not obeying a superior's order, I don't care! This Inazuma will not stay here and rest while her comrades are out there fighting enemy ships!" she declared with pride.

A lengthy moment of silence passed; and still, she gave him that look. Naruto sighed. He gave Inazuma his own look. "Are you sure? You can rest you know? You won't have to come back getting all tired and bruised up."

"I am." Was her steel like reply.

"Then, even if you will be punished, you'll still disobey my orders no matter what?"

"Y-Yes!"

"I see." He said, tone baring no emotion. "Close your eyes Inazuma."

Inazuma did as she was told to. Even if her knees are shaking, even if she is afraid… she will stand strong! She's prepared; for both the pain and pride. But…

"Huh?" she felt a soft, tender like touch on the crown of her head. She opened her eyes wide; wondering. There she saw her admiral smiling; not his usual mischief filled smile, but a warm and gentle one. The one that made her heart beat. The way the light pierced from the window behind him seems to have made him more and more kind.

"Congratulation Inazuma, you passed." He said, smiling.

.

.

.

"Huh? Huh? Hawawawa?!" was her smartest reply.

Retracting his hand from her head, he shushed her. "Don't worry, you'll know soon." He gave her a wink. "Now, go. You need rest. Prepare for sortie for tomorrow. I want you to be in your best condition."

"B-But!"

"No buts." Naruto said finally. "Go now." He ushered her out from the office, before closing the door.

Inazuma stood there dumbstruck, frozen and confused. What… what just happened?

"Haaah… well, looks like I'll have to this now." Admiral Uzumaki muttered under his breath. He sits on his chair, pressing a small button from underneath his desk. In an instant, a blue hologram projector pops up, showing the face of an old man. "Admiral?" the general acknowledges.

"General, I have a request to be made…"

"What is it?"

Naruto's blue eyes turned hard and cold as steel.

"I request the production of certain ship girls…"

A/N: Hahaha! Finally, I'm done! Never expect a Kancolle story from me didn'tcha?

So, how is it? This is just the first chappy though. Hope you guys like the situation in the story; it might be complicated, but it'll be interesting no doubt. This story is written for fun and entertainment, maybe knowledge too. Any offense made are not intended and implied; I am merely putting my imagination to use for the sake of the readers.

Well, now that that is done… hope ya'll have a good/night!
