Hey internet people, in my seemingly perpetual state of writers block I thought up a story that maybe could cure said affliction so enjoy
So this story involves my OC Grayson from Past Tragedy without all that Flood related PTSD bullshit as well as Commander Erin Shepherd from Past Tragedy also without flood induced PTSD. Also this is an AU of the narutoverse, the fourth is still alive (cheers) the third is not (boos) Sasuke isn't so much of a prick(cheers) and itachi didn't have to kill his family(cheers) not to say it didn't happen (boos)
I most certainly do not own Naruto or Mass effect, so stop bugging me
and now for a time line to explain the past because I don't want to write out the whole fucking mass effect story line just with grayson being a biotic god
Time line.

"Im just sayin, Grayson is something like a super hero." joker finished as Ensign Presley looked at him with an amused look on his face. "you know I can and have flattened large buildings, potentially filled with innocent people and, in hind sight, I don't think that was very hero like , I just spent too much time in stasis next to a leaky eezo core, thats all." Grayson retorted walking up to the cockpit of the Normandy. "and Bruce banner spent too much time in front of a machine that spits out gamma rays, almost the same thing happened". Joker replied. "The hulk was crazy all the time, Im not.". "well I think anybody who likes getting shot at is crazy-. I'm picking up something on long range sensors... looks like a cruiser." a female crew membersaid suddenly. "doesn't look like any geth ship i've ever seen" joker said as he pulled up the silhouette of the ship. "ill get shepherd, this could get ugly."Grayson said, as he checked the seals on his hard suit, clearly still not comfortable with space travel let alone a space battle. As he sealed his helmet he walked into the CIC proper, with the galaxy map shining in all its glory. As he walked over to the doorway that lead to the lower deck he heard the engines get notably louder but thanks to the mass effect fields within the hull he couldn't feel whatever maneuvers joker was putting the ship through.
Then it all went wrong, a bright light blasted though the armour and hull, ripping a giant hole in the roof of the CIC and instantly crewmen were blown out of their seats and into hard vacuum to suffer one of the most horrible deaths known to man. Grayson was no exception except he was already ready just in case the worst were to happen. He used a massive biotic push to send him back to the deck and with a flash of his orange omni tool he activated the magnets in his boots, clamping him tho the floor. He caught his breath "and they called me crazy for wearing my armour everywhere." he said grimly. He stood up and looked out into the void, debris was everywhere as well as a few floating bodies. Grayson looked away towards the door to the second level just as it opened revealing Commander shepherd in her standard N7 armour. "Did everyone get out?" Grayson said as she walked up "yeah everyone's gone to the escape pods." she replied. Shepherd looked around with saddened eyes at the dead bodies scattering the remains of the CIC and the giant tear in the hull. "Shepherd..." Grayson said but she didn't respond. "SHEPHERD!" Grayson yelled into his helmet finally getting a response. Her glowing violet artificial eyes looked at him with a sadness he knew all too well. "Erin... we need to go, lets get joker, he should still be alive." Grayson said placing a firm hand on her shoulder. She nodded and they made their way to the cockpit where joker was still battling with the ships controls
"CMON JOKER WE GOTTA GO!" Grayson yelled as he ran up to jokers chair. "No I can still save her!" joker yelled as he continued to battle with the slowly failing controls. "The Normandy is lost... going down with the ship wont change that." shepherd said glumly as she opened the escape pod door. Seeing the sense in her words joker finally said "fine... help me up". Suddenly an alarm sounded and joker looked back to the holographic display and saying "They're coming around for another pass!". Thinking quickly Grayson grabbed joker and threw him into the escape pod despite the feeling of broken bones. Suddenly a bright beam of light cut him and shepherd off from the pod. Seeing some energy cells going critical nearby Grayson grabbed Shepard by the waist just as she pushed the manual launch button, sending joker out despite him screaming their names, knowing this is the last time he would see them. Grayson moved shepherd out of the way, so that he shielded her. Then the energy cells detonated, sending them flying out of a new hole in the Normandy. He put up a strong biotic barrier which deflected all the shrapnel flying at them.
Grayson and Shepherd looked behind them just in time to see the once state of the art ship get blasted in half by a golden particle beam, sending them flying in silence into the void. Nothing but their breathing was heard as they watched the silent death of the ship that had destroyed sovereign. "What now?" Shepherd asked. "i don't know... we have an hour of O2 left...i don't know...god I don't know...wait its a long shot but..." Grayson said as he activated his omnitool and started typing in calculations. "what are you doing?" shepherd asked. "Reentry.. with my biotics you at least may survive I might not survive the strain of using my biotics like that though." Grayson said with a determined look in his eyes. "your...willing to do that...Grayson no your needed for the fight against the reapers, Christ your the most powerful biotic in existence." Shepherd said "And your the best hope we've got against them, we need someone to unite the galaxy, we know they're coming so we need you alive commander." Grayson retorted as he finalized his calculations "besides theirs no guarantee that ill die after all haven't you heard joker lately? I'm a god now." Grayson laughed. A series of virtual guide markers appeared on his HUD.
"alright... here we go." Grayson said as he formed a biotic bubble around them and started making small biotic pushes to get him going. Grayson hit the micro thrusters on his suit to speed them up. Gravity took over as G forces started building slightly. He checked the HUD for altitude "90 km and falling fast hang on we're hitting atmosphere in twenty seconds." all along the barrier sparks were flying as they came in contact with the atmosphere. Grayson closed his eyes as flames enveloped the biotic shield and the temperature inside the bubble went up to around one hundred degrees, thankfully easily handled by the suit, however the strain on grayson's body was overwhelming. Blood trickled down from his nose as small blood vessels burst from the strain. Soon the temperature broke five hundread and the inside of his suit was starting to get very hot. But as the temperature increased outside and Grayson struggled to stay alive, he saw the systems sun break over the horizon.
MASS EFFECT: THE DARKEST DAYS
Land of fire
Jiryia was walking along the path to Konaha. Just another sunny day in fire country, that is until a loud explosion resonated through the forest. "What the hell" the toad sage said as he reached for his kunai. Finding nothing he looked towards the noise, to his shock bluish purple lightning arced from up ahead behind the trees. "I better find out what that was..." he said as he jumped up on a tree and raced towards the lightning.
Impact site
Jiryia looked on in shock as he saw an area the size of a large building that had been cleared of trees and blasted bare. In the centre of the cleared area were two bodies on the ground. "oh god, somebody got caught up in this!" he thought as he jumped off the tree and sprinted over to them. The first thing he saw was the outlandish armour that they were wearing. It was form fitting and made of some sort of nonmetallic hard plates with a single red stripe down one arm, the rest of the armour being black. All of this was pushed to the backburner when a groan was heard from the clearly female one. "are you ok?!" Jiryia said ignoring the perverted thoughts in favor of legitimate concern over her health. "...Mida?"(A/N Estonian for "what") the woman asked before suddenly passing out. "Shit I gotta..." he stopped himself as he looked over at the other person "oh god" was all he said as he saw how... horrific his condition was. The mans armour was shattered to the point that it was useless, half of the mans helmet was gone, reveling the mans face which seemed to have blood running from his nose, eyes, and ears, as well as plenty of bruising.
Jiryia was about to write him off as dead when the man gasped for breath. "I've gotta get them back to Konaha!" he yelled as he grabbed a scroll.
Two months later
Grayson started to stir from his sleep, the darkness of the inside of his eyelids gave way to blinding light. "Wha..." he said hoarsely as he looked around the room he was in. he was in a very soft bed with an iv stand nearby... an iv stand? He looked again and sure enough there it was, with a glass bottle of liquid in it. "glass... even in my century we never used glass bottles what the hell?" he sat up and yanked the needle from the iv out. Then there was yelling outside, he could hear it clearly in Japanese, and luckily enough for him, he knew the language. "...want safe passage back to my village or she gets it!" a man yelled as another yelled "how the hell did he get a weapon!". "Hostage taking eh? Lets see if I got my biotics." his body flared a bright blue and he smiled "full power?! I thought id be out for days, I wonder how long has it been?" he walked out of the room and saw the man holding a... kunai to an attractive woman's neck, he was cornered by several other men. "ill take care of this." he said to the men present. "wha... who the hell are you?!" the first one said "what the hell do you think you can do?" another said. Grayson smirked and said ,"this..." he said clenching his fist "Biotic blade" he murmured as a chaotic blue aura burst around him and around his fist the aura extended and became much less chaotic. Without warning the air itself warped and he shot forward and before anyone could react the arm holding the kunai to the woman's throat fell to the ground in a spray of blood. Without pause a bioticly charged elbow smashed into the mans temple, sending him flying into a wall, and sending him into unconsciousness. "are you ok?" he said to the woman. She nodded and asked "what about you, your bleeding!" Grayson ran his thumb under his nose and it came back red with blood.
"...well... I thought... I had my full power." Grayson said as he panted, suddenly feeling very weak. Then behind him he heard clapping, he turned away from the growing puddle of blood behind him and saw the men applauding him. "nice job man! I never thought that anyone save the fourth could move that fast." the assumed leader said. "Thanks for the complement." a voice said from behind him "Wha... who the..." he looked behind him slowly. There stood a man with long yet spiky blond hair, over his forehead he had a metal protector with a stylized leaf carved into it. He had a green vest which reminded him of the flak vests he wore back in the 21st century, and under that a blue long sleeve shirt. "There are no doors, windows, or vents... how the hell did I not see you?!" he thought to himself
the elite special forces operative stared, shocked and wondering how he had snuck around him. "can you understand me?". The man asked him. Shaking out of his shock Grayson quickly said "yeah, I can". "good, my name's Minato Namikaze, its a pleasure to finally meet you." the man said holding out his hand. "Lieutenant James Grayson, N7 Special operations regiment." he replied grasping his hand in a firm handshake. "well if we are going to be formal then I am also the kage of this village." minito replied. "how long..." Grayson asked. "Two and a half months give or take." the kage replied "Two and a ha... oh I was in a coma, I see". Grayson said as he felt his chin and found a substantial beard. "yes from what Jirya sensei said you made quite an entrance.". "speaking of.. there was another one with me, is she okay?!." Grayson asked. "yes of course... why were you two close, your rather.. well frantic."Minato said looking amused. "not like its any of your buisness but no, nothing intimate, good friends at best, but she is important to the ga... to where we are from." Grayson said not wanting to disclose anything about the greater galaxy that he, himself, was shoved into.
"we have kept her safe, although under guard, from what I hear she's in good health, but she speaks some weird language." the forth said "English, the language I was born into speaking as well." Grayson replied "id like to see her if thats at all possible.".Grayson asked "of course ill get someone to get her right away." the man said with a smile "you" he said to the one of the other men " go get itachi and the woman.". "Itachi? Who's that?" Grayson asked "he's the one guarding her at his clans Estate, she'll be here soon, so id get dressed in something other than a hospital gown ." Minato replied, smirking
"ahh...shit" grayson said as he rushed back to his room
