Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Star Trek.

Notes:

I will be using the most recent stardate system, introduced in Star Trek 2009. It is the most simple. The first four digits correspond to the year, while the remainder stand for the month and the day. For example, stardate 2233.0104 would be January 4, 2233.

Also, for those of you not familiar with Navy ranks (Trek Ranks) the order from the bottom up is as follows for officers:

Ensign (En.), Lieutenant Junior Grade (LtJr.), Lieutenant (Lt), Lieutenant Commander(LtCmdr.), Commander (Cmdr.), Captain (Capt.), Rear Admiral (lower-half) [Rdml.] or Commodore (Como.), Rear Admiral (upper-half) [Radm.], Vice Admiral (Vadm.), Admiral (Adm.), and Fleet Admiral (Fadm.).

About how these officers can be addressed: LtJr. and Lt. are addressed as Lieutenant. LtCmdr. and Cmdr. can both be addressed commander, unless in a formal setting. All Admirals can be addressed as Admiral, unless in a formal setting.

Here is the general order of combatant starship "classifications" or types, from smallest tactical significance to largest. There are a lot more than this, but here are the basics:

Frigate (FF), Destroyer Escort (DE), Destroyer (DD), Light Cruiser (CL), Command Light Cruiser (CLC), Cruiser (C), Command Cruiser (CC), Heavy Cruiser (CA), Command Heavy Cruiser (CAC), Battleship (BB), Escort Carrier (CVE), Light Carrier (CVL), Carrier (CV), and Attack Carrier (CVA).

All ships above the cruiser classification are automatically considered command ships, or "flagships." These designations will be important later when I describe the roles of the Naruto cast's starships/crews. There are a few more non-combatant ship classifications, plus a few others, I have simplified them a bit:

Scout Ship (S), Research Ship (RS), Survey Ship (SS), Science Vessel (SV), Reconaissance Ship (R), Hospital Ship (H), Shuttle (P), Heavy Shuttle (PA), Fighter (F), and Heavy Fighter (FA).

This fic will feature all or most of these types of ships. Classification should not be confused with class. For example, the USS Sandaime is a (the Third) Hokage class Command Cruiser (CC), a variant of Trek's Galaxy class Cruiser (C). Also note that size does not determine a ship's classification. For example, the Sovereign class Trek Starship is a Heavy Cruiser (CA), even though it is smaller than the Galaxy class.

A little bit of basic terminology regarding the locations on a ship: Bow (front), Stern (back) Fore (forward), Aft (rear), Starboard (right), Port (left), Dorsal (top), Ventral (bottom).

Lastly, I will give a brief summary of warp and impulse drive theory and speeds, as well as other maneuvering systems and headings.

The idea of warp drive is actually somewhat feasible. The idea is that the space around a starship can be warped so that the ship travels less distance. The ship does not travel faster. In Star Trek, the ship goes at maximum impulse speed (1/4 the speed of light) and warps space so it only has to travel 1/4 the distance at warp one, thereby going the speed of light. Impulse drive is a bit more sketchy. The idea is that the ship sends electromagnetic pulses against itself to "push" itself through space. The ship can adjust its heading by using thrusters, which send out a small burst of regular rocket-type thrust. The ship can execute precision manuevers by using reaction control thrusters, which send out little laser pulses to make minor adjustments to the ships pitch (vertical), yaw (horizontal) and roll.

Headings in Star Trek refer to two theoretical spheres of rotation. The first denotes the change in yaw (going to the right), the second denotes the change in pitch (going up). For example, 360 mark 360 would mean the ship wouldn't change course at all, which is why you never hear it on Star Trek, since the course is determined from the ship's current alignment. 359 mark 359 would mean the ship would adjust one degree left and one degree down. 1 mark 1 would mean the ship would adjust one degree right and one degree up. The only problem with this system is that it doesn't include the ships roll, so I will be adding Battlestar Galactica's "carom" as the roll adjustment. This isn't how its used in BSG, but I like the term and will use it that way. For example, carom 1 would mean a one percent roll to the right. Carom 359 would mean a one degree roll to the left. I know this explanation was probably tiresome, but it's important to understanding what the frak the characters are talking about and imagining space battles.

Also, I will be using a more formal version of Trek talk, something akin to what you'd see on an actual Navy ship.

This fic is an AU and will not feature any Star Trek characters. In the Trek timeline, it starts shortly after Voyager would have returned.

Alright with all that out of the way, enjoy.

Chapter 0:

'Prologue'


Stardate 2380.1010

October 10th, 2380

Location: On the Perimeter of the Nadir Nebula

The USS Sandaime was aflame.

Streams of plasma leaked out of its nacelles. The saucer section's lights flickered on and off as primary power began to fail. Massive rents were carved out of its duranium plating, blackened with the discharge of cutting phasers. Its shields flickered weakly in the black void of space. The old Third Hokage class flagship fought proudly, but it was no match for its foe. The Sandaime was a variant of the older Galaxy class starship, with upgraded weapons, shielding, sensors, armor plating and warp drive. The six-hundred and fifty meter ship struggled mightily against the onslaught before it.

A single massive cube exchanged fire with the Sandaime. Photon torpedoes and phasers flashed into the superstructure of the cube as green cutting phasers, magnetometric guided charges and missiles battered the dying Sandaime. Of the original task force of twenty-six starships sent to engage the cube, the Sandaime was the only one still in the fight.

It would not go down easily.

"Shields at eight percent. Primary power is failing. Rerouting power from secondary systems."

"Dorsal phaser arrays offline. Crews from photon torpedo tubes one through four report heavy damage."

"Starboard hull plating is gone. Hull integrity has fallen to sixty percent."

"Deflector dish offline. Warp power fluctuating."

"Life support systems failing. Switching to auxiliary power."

Admiral Sarutobi Hiruzen listened as his crew reported the critical damage to his ship with staunch professional detachment.

"Reroute all available power to aft shield grids. Helm: adjust course heading to 110 mark 36 carom 9."

"Helm, aye. Adjusting heading to 110 mark 36 carom 9."

"Tactical, aye. Rerouting power to aft shields."

Hiruzen took out his pipe and lit up. It was against regulation, but not even his first officer protested. He knew they were about to die as well as the rest of the crew.

"Target the power fluctuations in the cube's superstructure. On my mark, fire photon torpedoes and phasers."

He watched the screen as the Sandaime came about to offer its aft armament.

Off to the sides of the viewscreen, other ships were burning and exploding as their warp cores went critical. The Uchiha Collective was hammering away at the Konohagakure Federation with all their might. They were determined to copy every technology and strength in the galaxy. Now they threatened the most advanced piece of equipment ever created by the Federation. It could not fall into the hands of the Collective. It was the Federation's last chance. They would protect it at any cost.

Alone the USS Sandiame continued to fight the UC Kyuubi no Yoko, the most fearsome ship in the galaxy. Its size dwarfed even the largest Uchiha tactical cubes. Hiruzen's ship had been tasked with engaging it along with over two dozen others. The Sandaime was the only one left that wasn't destroyed or dead in space.

"Mark!"

Twin torpedo turrets spat a dozen photon torpedos each at the Uchiha behemoth. A small hole was visible where the volley had struck. For a moment the lights on the cube's superstructure flickered. Then it rotated to protect its wounded side and continued its barrage. Another round of projectiles and cutting phasers lashed into the Third Hokage class ship's primary hull. For a moment the ship floated out of control and the lights went out.

Then the Sandaime righted itself and the red emergency lights came on.

"Shields offline. Primary and secondary power offline. Operating on emergency power only."

Hiruzen chuckled softly, letting the smoke from his pipe trickle out of his nostrils. If this was to be their end, then he would make it such an end that the USS Sandaime's crew would be worthy of remembrance.

"Weapons?"

"Forward torpedo turret two is still operational."

"Bring us about."

"Helm, aye. Coming about, Sir."

It was a pointless effort. They would be destroyed before they fired another photon.

The damaged comm crackled and a disturbing chorus of voices sounded over the ship's communication network.

"We are the Uchiha. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. Resistance is futile."

Typical Uchiha arrogance. Hiruzen thought darkly. I'm afraid they're right. We're outgunned. I'll be damned if we go down like this.

"Reroute all remaining power to the impulse drive. Prepare for ramming speed."

"Helm, aye." The steadfast helmsman replied. "Rerouting available power to impulse drive. Adjusting heading 162 mark 12 carom 45. Collision course plotted."

Hiruzen closed his eyes in resignation. There was nothing to do now but accept the end and die with dignity.

"Sir, there's another ship coming in!" The comm. officer shouted suddenly.

"One of ours or one of theirs?" Hiruzen asked, hope flickering in his breast.

"Sensors are badly damaged... Wait, I'm picking up a Federation transponder..." The ensign's eyes widened. "Sir, it's the Yondaime!"

The USS Yondaime appeared in front of the dying Sandaime out of a ripple of coaxial-folded warp space, its shields deflecting the volley that would have spelled the beleaguered ship's doom.

Seven-hundred and fifteen meters of Fourth Hokage class starship let loose a volley of devastating quantum torpedos and type 12 starbase class heavy phasers. The superior ship sheltered its comrade, extending its shields with the power of its unique dual warp core design. It was a variant of the Soveriegn class starship, with increased armament, shielding and a secondary warp core. The second core was designed specifically to operate its limited coaxial warp drive.

"Helmsman, belay my last order." Hiruzen barked.

"Admiral Sarutobi." Namikaze Minato's voice came in over the comm. "It seems you could use a little help."

"Fleet Admiral Namikaze, late to the party as usual."

"Let's show these Uchiha what the name Hokage implies."

"Aye, Sir."


"Helm, prepare to execute coaxial warp jump to the cube's aft-starboard-ventral quarter." Minato ordered calmly.

"Helm, aye. Executing coaxial jump to aft-starboard-ventral quarter on your mark."

Fleet Admiral Namikaze Minato was a living legend. In his early career he had been assailed by an Akimichi Marauder. His single nacelle'd science vessel had only possessed four old type 7 phaser arrays and a single fore and aft photon torpedo launcher. His ship had been taken by surprise and was badly damaged. In a stroke of genius, Captain Namikaze had ordered his helmsman to go to warp for a fraction of a second. His ship avoided the volley of torpedoes that would have destroyed it, and reappeared to launch its own volley at point-blank range, destroying the Marauder instantly. The tactic had been so brilliant that it was dubbed "The Namikaze Maneuver."

Minato had been given the Konohagakure Federation's highest honor: the title of Hokage.

The title of Kage was only given to the greatest starship Captains' in each shinobi sector. The galaxy was divided up into four quadrants: alpha, beta, delta and gamma. Those in turn, were divided into shinobi sectors, and named after the power that ruled that area of space. The Konohagakure Federation was one of the oldest shinobi sectors. It was located in sector 001 (according to its members), in the Sol system, on a planet called Earth. The Federation got its name from the legendary Konohagakure no Sato, where the shinobi of myth had once lived. Now "shinobi" was synonymous with officer in what Konoha's citizens referred to as Starfleet. The slang for officer, "shinobi," had spread to the farthest regions of known space.

Minato had been given the privilege afforded only to Kages: the resources to design and build his own ship. The Namikaze Manuever inspired him to research the theory of coaxial warp drive. After five years he unlocked the secret of coaxial warp drive, along with its limitations. No computer could handle the calculations to make a jump any farther than half a light-year.

It was still an unprecedented success. Two years later the United Shinobi Ship Yondaime was launched: the Fourth Hokage class ship ever built. Each Hokage class ship was a unique variant, with abilities that complemented the Captain's strength as a tactician. There was only one Sandaime, just as there was only one Yondaime, together they were the two most powerful ships in the Konohagakure Federation.

There were rumors that Minato had been working on perfecting the ability of the Yondaime's coaxial warp drive, but any astrometric navigation expert worth their salt knew that the power needed to compute long-range jumps was, at best, half a century away. Not even the fearsome Uchiha Collective had the technology to support such a system. Still, the Yondaime's ability was an incredible weapon even with its limitations. The USS Yondaime had almost single-handedly ended the Third Shinobi War, dispatching the starships of the Kumogakure Confederacy and the Iwagakure Alliance with deadly precision. Minato was known for jumping into the middle of a fleet and destroying multiple ships before they could even raise their shields. He would then jump away to the safety of the line of battle, or into another formation. The tactic was nearly impossible to counter.

Which was exactly why Minato was executing a second jump in a row, pushing the secondary warp core near its limits.

"Mark!"

The newer Hokage class ship used its trademark coaxial warp drive, reappearing on the damaged side of the Kyuubi no Yoko in a yellow flash. The Yondaime's secondary warp core powered down as its weapons powered up. The core would need at least twenty minutes before it could power another jump safely.

"Concentrate fire on the damaged section of the superstructure. Prepare the phase lance for firing sequence."

"Tactical, aye. Targeting damaged section. Rerouting power from secondary warp core to phase lance."

That's going to make another jump dangerous if we don't wait, but it's necessary. If only I hadn't been forced to bail out Admiral Sarutobi. I need to buy us a little time.

"Patch me through to the Uchiha ship."

"Aye, Sir."

Minato sat back in his chair, seemingly taking his ease. With the Yondaime in the fight, not even the Uchiha could expect an easy victory.

"Uchiha vessel. This is Fleet Admiral Namikaze of the Konohagakure Federation Starship Yondaime. Leave Federation space immediately or be destroyed."

A pair of red eyes appeared on the viewscreen.

"This is Uchiha Madara of the Uchiha Collective. Lower your shields and surrender your ship. Resistance is futile. All your base are belong to us."

"Sir, phase lance crew reports all systems nominal. Firing solution is ready."

Minato smirked.

"Resist this: fire phase lance."

Two trillion joules of phaser energy belched out of the spinal mount of the USS Yondaime and ripped into the Kyuubi no Yoko.

That'll show those arrogant Uchiha bastards. The phase lance can destroy most ships in a single shot. They won't shake that hit off so easily... wait.

The cube was beginning to rotate at great speed. Something sinister was about to happen, Minato could feel it.

"Sir... I'm getting some strange readings. Their warp signature is fluctuating. The power levels are off the charts!"

Red plasma began to creep out of the Uchiha Collective's Kyuubi no Yoko. Great mechanisms activated within the belly of the beast.

"My god... is that its true form?"

Before them floated the most devastating technological terror in the galaxy. The true form of the Kyuubi no Yoko, a massive ship in the form of a nine-tailed fox. Each "tail" was actually a weapons battery. The head of the ship was the bridge, and the mouth housed a particle projection cannon powerful enough to destroy an entire planet. That is, if the rumors were really true.

"They say it can't be destroyed... what do we do Admiral? Admiral?"

The space inside the Kyuubi's mouth began to ripple and distort. The Yondaime's sensors rang in alarm.

"Sensory station, report."

"Sensors indicate that a... a class five singularity is forming in the maw of the Uchiha ship."

Minato cursed inwardly. So it is true then... class five. Kami-sama, that's enough to destroy an entire system! Assuming they can fire that thing at us...

"Sensors indicate the singularity will be fully formed in eighteen minutes and forty-three seconds."

Admiral Namikaze paled visibly. "Comm, patch me through to the fleet."

"Comm, aye. Channel open."

"This is Fleet Admiral Namikaze Minato. All ships are ordered to retreat. I repeat: all ships are to retreat with all available speed."

"The fleet acknowledges, Admiral." The comm officer reported. "Admiral Sarutobi is hailing us, Sir."

"Open channel."

"Aye, channel open."

"Admiral Minato... my chief engineer reports we'll need at least fifteen minutes before we can attempt to use warp drive." Hiruzen said deliberately.

The Old Fool wants to stay and fight...

"Ten minutes, Admiral Sarutobi. You have your orders. Comm, close channel."

"Comm, aye. Channel closed."

"Commence calculations for multiple coaxial warp jumps."

The entire bridge crew flinched simultaneously, but they obeyed their orders without question.

Minato tapped the communicator on his chest.

"Namikaze to sickbay. What is Kushina's status?"

"This is the doctor. She is still in labor, Admiral."

"Kushina can you hear me?"

"Yes, Minato."

"I'm about to make multiple jumps using the coaxial warp drive. I need you to beam over to the Sandaime."

"I'm staying here Minato."

"But Kushina-"

"Doctor, prepare me for a transporter-cesarean. Get my son to the Sandaime. I'm staying with my husband."

"That's a risky procedure..."

"We don't have time, do it now!"

The comm cut off and Minato was forced to put his worry aside. Hopefully Kushina would come to her senses and go with Naruto, their about-to-be-born son.

"Helm, prepare to execute multiple jumps."

"Sir... the secondary core is still on cooldown."

"Then use the primary core. You have ten minutes to compensate for the flow rate."

"A-aye, Sir."

The entire crew knew what that order meant. Multiple jumps would put incredible strain on the coaxial warp drive. The primary core could handle more jumps than the secondary core, but it wasn't designed to regulate the proper flow of power to the coaxial warp drive. The Yondaime was almost as likely to destroy itself as it was to execute multiple jumps.

"Ensign Hatake."

"Aye, Sir?"

"Report to sickbay. Make sure my son arrives on the Sandaime safely. When you get there, give the doctor this."

He handed the silver-haired ensign a small data chip.

"Aye, Sir."

The Yondaime slugged it out at close range with the Kyuubi no Yoko. Its formidable shields soaked up the weapons of the Uchiha terror. Ops. reported the occasional minor hull breach and the constant status of the shields' remaining power. Tactical sent wave after wave of quantum torpedoes and heavy phasers into the Kyuubi's weapon arrays. Minato dared not use the phase lance again. The Yondaime's jump drive couldn't afford the strain if they wanted to survive multiple jumps.

"Shields are at twenty-eight percent, Sir, and are approaching the Uchiha weapons' penetration threshold. Another minute of this and their magnetometric guided charges will start impacting our hull plating."

"Ops., reroute the power from the secondary shield buffers to the fore-dorsal shield grid. Helm, alter course heading to 11 mark 42 carom 60. Tactical, disable safety parameters on our phaser arrays' cooldown. Give them everything we've got." Minato rattled off the orders almost without thinking.

I have to keep them focused on us. Come on just a little longer. Hurry up Kushina... come on Sarutobi, old friend, get that warp drive back on-line.

"Sir, Admiral Sarutobi reports the Sandaime's warp capability has been restored. He said to tell you "nine minutes," Sir."

And nine minutes left to annihilation. Minato tapped on his communicator again.

"Doctor? We're running out of time here. Status?"

"You have a son, Sir. I'm just making sure everything checks out."

"They can do that aboard the Sandaime. Ensign Hatake, get Naruto out of there."

"Naruto, Sir?."

"My son's name."

"Aye, sir. Taking him to the transporter room now."

Two minutes later Ensign Hatake was safely aboard the USS Sandaime and Minato issued the order to execute multiple coaxial jumps. The Yondaime disappeared in a series of yellow flashes, firing weapons at every weak point on the Kyuubi no Yoko from every angle. The primary core began to overload and Minato ordered the secondary core be brought back on-line. When the secondary core began to overload Minato knew all hope was failing. The damage done to the Kyuubi no Yoko's superstructure was superficial at best. The beast of a ship was regenerating its shields and repairing breaches almost faster than the Yondaime could fire.

"Sir, primary and secondary warp cores are losing containment. Core breach is imminent. Estimated time to breach: six minutes."

That singularity-beam will wipe us out in seven minutes anyway. We're sitting ducks with our shields so low and only impulse drive to manuever. There's only one thing left I can do...

"This is the Admiral. All hands abandon ship."

The crew filed out in an orderly, albeit quick, procession, evacuating to the warp-capable shuttles. One man with long white hair stayed behind, Minato's first officer, teacher, and dearest friend.

"You too, Jiraiya. The boy will need someone to look after him."

"I know what you intend to do Minato."

"Then you know there's no stopping me. Take care of Naruto... and please. Don't tell him about me. Give him Kushina's last name. I don't want him growing up in my shadow."

"I'm gonna miss you, kid." Jiraiya said, ruffling Minato's blonde hair.

He exited the bridge as he fought to keep tears from his eyes.

Minato waited until all his crew had evacuated. The Yondaime's shields were on the verge of collapse and the hull plating wouldn't last much longer.

I'm not sure if I can pull this off by myself... but I have to try.

Minato finished the calculations for the next jump. He still hadn't figured out how he was going to manage the power flow while executing the jump command. Maintaining the power flow from the engineering station on the bridge without someone down in engineering to assist was almost impossible. In fact, there was only one person on the ship he knew could do it. Only the most brilliant engineer in the history of Starfleet could pull it off of a certainty. The woman who had helped him design the prototype coaxial warp drive of the Yondaime, who was a peerless genius beyond rational comparison.

As if in answer to his prayers (and his fears), the one person who could single-handedly manage the flow came out of the turbolift.

"Kushinaaa..." Minato's tone brooked no argument. It clearly said: get the hell out of here.

His wife smiled at him lovingly.

"I'm staying Minato. We're in this to the end." Her incredible vitality made it seem as if she hadn't been with child only minutes before.

"What about Naruto?" Minato whispered.

"If you're planning on doing what I think you are, you're going to need me at ops. I'm the only one who can regulate the power flow from two warp cores to a coaxial warp drive from a bridge station. I won't risk Naruto just to save myself. You need me here."

Minato clenched his teeth. She's right.

"Warning: core breach in one minute. Warning..."

The computer continued its countdown.

Minato captured Kushina in a fierce embrace, kissing her with every bit of love he could muster.

They were both crying, but none had any words to speak to each other. They had already spoken those words a million times over the years.

Wordlessly they manned their stations. Kushina went to ops. to monitor the power flow. Minato stood at the helm, ready to execute the Yondaime's final jump.

"Warning: core breach in thirty seconds."

Kushina brought both warp cores up to maximum power, channeling the flow directly into the subspace injectors of the coaxial warp drive. Minato watched the computer finish the final calculations of the jump and input the command override that would allow the ship to jump into a class five singularity.

"Warning: core breach in twenty seconds... nineteen... eighteen..."

Minato slammed his fists down on the helm console. That last shot had overloaded the console's power grid. He frantically moved over to the secondary console and switched the command control to vocal recognition mode.

"Kushina!" He shouted.

The look in he eyes was enough to tell her what she needed to do.

"This is Lieutenant Commander Uzumaki Kushina. Command authorization code: foxtrot-tango-two-two-alpha-niner-zulu. Authorize jump order!"

"Warning: core breach in fifteen seconds... fourteen..."

"This is Fleet Admiral Namikaze Minato. Command authorization code: sierra-bravo-six-niner-hotel-four-echo. Authorize jump order!"

"Command authorization confirmed. Confirm jump order execution."

There was nothing left to do now. Kushina and Minato walked to the center of the bridge and held hands, gazing into each others eyes.

"Warning: core breach in ten seconds... nine... eight... seven..."

"For Naruto?" Minato asked softly, though he knew the answer.

Kushina put her forehead against her husband's and clutched his hand. "For Naruto."

"Warning: core breach in five seconds... four... three... two...one..."

"Jump!" Minato shouted.

The USS Yondaime disappeared in a yellow flash, jumping into the heart of the Kyuubi no Yoko.

The very fabric of space-time tore as the coaxial warp drive overloaded and the Kyuubi's singularity imploded.


Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina died as heroes of the Konohagakure Federation and were both awarded the Konohagakure Medal of Honor and the Starfleet Maritime Cross posthumous. In the history of the Federation only a few other individuals had been awarded both honors. Despite those honors, despite their impossible victory, many said that the price of that victory had been too high.

Yet, their sacrifice was not in vain, for the rumors of Minato's new coaxial warp drive were indeed true.

Floating out in the middle of the Nadir Nebula was an asteroid that housed a top-secret Federation shipyard. Soon the designers would complete Minato's build-plan, and construction would commence.

It would take decades to build the ship in secret. Only small freighters could navigate the asteroid field inside the nebula. That meant only a tiny amount of supplies could come through at a time. The wait would be well worth it. Minato had perfected the coaxial warp drive, limiting the variables the computer would have to calculate for a long-range jump. The system was precise and could perform multiple jumps simultaneously. A coaxial warp core was built from scratch that could jump up to a dozen times within half a light-year, or a hundred light-years in a single jump, before it had to cooldown.

His design was flawless, but there were two things the engineers could not figure out, even after it was completed twenty-three years later.

The codes to activate the programming that would allow the ship to execute a jump had never been found. The system would work in theory, but it could not be tested without the codes. The other problem was with the computer. It had been designed to work in tandem with something in order to calculate the variables for multiple or long-range jumps. Without these 'keys,' as the engineers called them, the ship's unique abilities would be useless.

Why would the legendary Fleet Admiral, Namikaze Minato, design a ship that couldn't be used?

The NX-90000 Namikaze class starship sat in dry dock gathering dust.

As the years passed, debris from the asteroid broke free and covered its name:

USS Hiraishin


A/N: This story has been on the back burner for a while.

My goal is to get the first key chapters out before I leave in two weeks. As some of my readers know, I'm going to boot camp and will go on an unavoidable nine week hiatus. This story will follow no canon plot of Naruto or Star Trek. My intention is for it to be a light-hearted adventure. It will have some character bashing, like I did with Madara, but nothing serious. My Trek knowledge is pretty good, and I'll be keeping to the canon technology for the most part. Yes, this story is another Naru/Hina. No, it will not be focused on romance, though there will be some.

I'll give you a teaser of what you'll see in the second or third chapter. H.I.N.A.T.A. Humanoid Interstellar Navigation Advanced Tactical Astrometrics.

No she is not an android. She is just... special.

Next chapter in a few days. It will take place twenty-five years later. 'USS Raikiri.' Yes: all hail Captain Hatake Kakashi... kami save us all.
