So mostly positive reviews for The New Threat.
Hopefully it goes the way I want it to.
Also the romance options for Naruto so far are: Athena Shepard.
Romance option for Athena Shepard so far: Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze.
More romance options will be added as the story goes on, though at chapter 6 I should have all the romance options up.

Chapter 2: Alliance Marines meet Konoha Shinobi...
Athena was starting to come to see a dark, abyssal looking room, and when she tried to move her hands to rub some of the tiredness from her eyes she realized they wouldn't move. Getting a frightened look on her face she turned her head around and caught a glimpse of thick chains and pieces of paper over them. It was then she heard a door open, turning her head quickly, she saw a man in his late forties with a bandana with a strip of metal in the middle with a leaf etched into it, a dark blue trench coat, dark blue pants, a dark blue shirt, and dark blue sandals and standing next to him was a woman in her late thirties to early forties dress in a tan trench coat with her hair done up in a pineapple fashion, purple eyes that had a mischievous glint to them, a somewhat revealing black shirt that stopped at her midriff with a fish net shirt on over it.
"My name is Ibiki Morino," the man stated, " and this is Anko Mitarashi, and we'll be your interrogators today."
Gulping Athena thought of all the horrible things they might do, when the blonde boy from before walked in.
"Ibiki I'll handle this one," the boy stated, all the man known as Ibiki did was nod and walk out of the room with the lady known as Anko. The boy calmly grabbed a chair from the opposite wall and turn it backwards before sitting in it. The boy just stared at her for a few minutes before walking behind her and undoing her chains, causing them and the paper to fall to the floor. Shocked she didn't know the boy had spoke until he repeated the question.
"What brought to Konoha," the boy asked patiently.
"To be honest we just came to your planet for any kind of valuable resources," Athena answered, not even sure what made her answer. Nodding the blonde just sat there a little longer, then his eyes kind of widened as if he just saw a ghost from his past. Reaching his hand forward he wrapped his hand around a chain that was on her neck, just before he yanked it off and looked at it. In the light she saw a cross engraved with the word Diligo, engraved into it.
"Where did you get this," the boy demanded, practically shoving the cross in her face.
"It belonged to my father," Athena answered, somewhat confused by the boys reaction. It was then she saw the boy dig around in one of the pouches attached to his leg and pull out a identical cross, exact same material and everything. The boy just sighed and went back to sitting in his chair before he handed her cross back, and extended his hand.
"Name's Naruto," the boy, identified as Naruto stated simply. Athena looked at his hand then extended her own, firmly shaking Naruto's hand.
"Athena Shepard," Athena stated simply, causing Naruto to quirk his eyebrow.
"You got a very peculiar name," Naruto stated, causing Athena to sigh with closed eyes.
"Blame my mom and dad," Athena stated, "Dad's side of the family had a thing for naming their kids after important figures of Greek mythology."
Shrugging Naruto sat there and then they just talked for what seemed like hours, about everything and nothing, and making sure not give away anything classified. Looking down at his watch, which he just remembered having, his eyes nearly bugged out.
"It's been fun but I gotta run," Naruto said hurriedly as he bolted out the door and ran for all he was worth. When he finally stopped running he was standing in front of the door to the Suna embassy, and walked inside. But as he got closer to he heard his girlfriend giggling, cracking his girlfriend's door open, and hoping for the best, he saw his girlfriend Temari no Subaku having sex with Shikamaru Nara, someone Naruto consider to practically be his brother. Turning around Naruto calmly left the embassy and didn't look back. The next day everyone noticed the change in Naruto's demeanor, he was more serious and avoided the Suna Embassy at all cost, which was odd considering he always tried to be near the place to check on Temari. It was promptly one o'clock in the afternoon when he reported into the Interrogation and Torture division of the Konoha Shinobi Force. When he walked into Athena's cell he was shocked to see her doing push ups with her feet on the chair. Curiously he watched her for a few seconds, before he went and tried to join her.
"If you want me to move all you gotta do is ask," Athena stated, moving her feet over so Naruto could move his onto the chair.
"First to twenty wins," Naruto asked, with a fox like grin on his face. Athena's only response was a smirk and she began doing push ups. Smirking Naruto enhanced his muscles with chakra and began moving faster than Athena had ever thought possible, needless to say he hit 20 pushups in no time at all.
"OK how did you do that," Athena asked, completely perplexed by what happened. Naruto just looked at her like he would a child that asked a dumb question.
"Don't they have chakra where you're from," Naruto asked incredulously, the response he got from Athena was anything but knowing.
"OK let me explain," Naruto stated simply, as he pulled a chalkboard diagram, of a human body with the kanji for physical and spiritual on two halves of a circle at the center of the body, from seemingly out of nowhere, as he began to explain, "Chakra is the combination of both physical and spiritual energy. Chakra has a variety of uses in the world of Shinobi, such as being used to provide a boost to physical capabilities, creating jutsu, or being used to activate certain seals. However certain clans have a Kekkai Genkai, or Bloodline Limit, which grants them either a special kind of chakra, the ability to close chakra pathways, or physical mutations."
When Naruto finished his explanation he pushed the chalkboard diagram out of sight, and it once again vanished. Mystified by this explanation Athena looked down at her hands and back up at Naruto.
"Now do you have anything like that where you're from," Naruto asked, pride evident in his tone and the smirk on his face. Smirking herself Athena used a Singularity on him, causing him to float aimlessly in the air, she then quickly followed up a warp, specifically targeted at Naruto's jacket, and then used a pull, sending him flying across the room, where he went headfirst into the wall and promptly slid down. When he didn't get up, Athena ran over to check on him, thinking she may have hurt him badly. But her fears where unfounded as Naruto jumped up like nothing happened and stood spread eagle with a smile, that the Cheshire Cat would be envious of.
"That was awesome," Naruto shouted, and this time he started asking questions, " What was that? Is that all you can do? How powerful can you make it?"
Not knowing what to do with the sudden bombardment of questions, Athena grabbed her head and was about to use a biotic slam on Naruto to get a few minutes of quiet, when a very old feminine voice interrupted his barrage of questions.
"Naruto give our guest room breathe," ordered the voice. Turning quickly she saw a woman who could be older then 39, with long blonde hair done into two pigtails, boobs that had to be artificial, a gray kimono top, blue high heel like sandals, a green over coat, and dark blue capri looking pants that stopped just above her ankles. Chuckling sheepishly Naruto put a hand behind his head and gave a fox like grin.
"Sure thing Granny," Naruto replied, causing the woman to sigh. It was then someone else walked into the room. He stood 6'0, with light blue eyes, hair shaved close to his head, a scar going from the middle of his forehead to just below his right eye, and dark blue S7 armor with silver stripes.
"Thanks to your friend here we were able to verify your story," the woman stated, "though the council has requested that both of you show up to a meeting we are holding, right now."
Sighing, Athena walked behind and to the right of the lady, were as Naruto walked to the back of the group of four. They walked for about a half hour, which they only knew cause Naruto kept checking his watch, when they stepped into a wide circular room, which was divided into two sections with a boxed in set of seats close to the top of second section. One section had eleven seats filled, the eleventh one Naruto himself filled. The other half was clearly filled with nothing but civilians, seeing as how they all acted snobbish and like they were better than everyone else and that their opinion was the most important. It was at this point the lady Naruto called Granny turned to them.
"alright the section on the left," she stated quietly, pointing to the eleven people, "is the shinobi council, which consists of the Eleven Clan heads, with Naruto of course. Those fools over there," she stated, with obvious venom in her voice, "is the Civilian council."
Nodding in understanding, they sat next to "Granny" and waited.
"Order, Order," "Granny" called, silencing the Civilian council, " OK now that that is settled. This meeting of the Council of Konohagakure no Sato was called on accounts of the strangers having came inside our village, bearing unknown weapons and armor. I trust you have all read the reports I sent out, stating precisely what both these strangers and their comrades have told me."
"They should be executed," shouted a pink haired bansh- I mean woman from the civilian half of the council. Immediately the civilian council roared in approval and began clamoring for the heads of the strangers. It was then they heard a loud crash and turned in the direction of the sound, only to see Naruto with a Rasengan in hand, right over the now destroyed table.
"I have a better idea," Naruto stated as he walked toward the front of the room, "Honorable Councilmen, "insert cough from the females" and Councilwomen I propose that we release them."
This proposal didn't sit well with the Civilian portion of the council who immediately let out cries of outrage, only to be silenced by Naruto forming another Rasengan.
"I also propose that I go with them as a ambassador of good will to show we mean no harm," Naruto proclaimed, getting a nod of approval from the Shinobi council, who didn't want to see a war just four years after they got out of one, "and to learn their motives and so we can potential learn things that will better our flourishing society."
Thinking of the potential profit they could make from such a thing even the Civilian council let out cries of approval.
"All those in favor of sending a ambassador of good will with these strangers when they leave," Tsunade asked, unanimous across the board everyone raised their hands.
"Lady Hokage since it was my idea I volunteer to be the Ambassador for our people," Naruto said calmly, shocking most of the people there.
"Alright Naruto I hereby bestow Sannin Travel Rights on you and give a S class mission of being an Ambassador of Good Will for our village to these people," Tsunade said with a smirk, "this Council meeting is adjourned."
With that Naruto disappeared in a flash of yellow, not to be seen for the rest of the day. When the meeting was adjourned Athena was about to go retrieve her arms and armor, when she felt a hand on her shoulder. Seeing "Granny" give her the universal sign for follow me. Following "Granny" she found herself in a office with a desk piled high with paperwork and a bay window just behind the desk. "Granny" calmly sat down at the desk and interlocked her hands in front of her mouth.
"Can I ask a favor of you," "Granny" asked tiredly, like someone who had lost too many loved ones and someone who had lived too many years in one war or another.
"Sure," Athena replied curiously, wondering what it could be. The answer came when she saw a tear in "Granny"'s eye.
"Please take care of Naruto for me," "Granny" requested sadly, tears beginning to freely flow from her eye. All Athena could do in this situation is nod dumbly, before she walked out of the building, found the building that had her arms and armor, put them on, and left the village hidden in the leaves, to find Naruto walking close behind her, following her to the drop ship that would take them back to the Alliance Carrier USS Ulysses. After that they would set off for council space, to report their findings to the Citadel Council.
In a unknown part of space...
A figure sat in a chair, downing his fifth of straight Jack and puffing on a cigar, when a woman who could be described as 21st century model beautiful walked in, looking at a datapad. Looking away from the eight holo screens arrayed before him the figure looked up at the woman, she had the standard Cerberus uniform, she had deep chestnut hair that stopped just past her shoulders, electric blue eyes, and a figure even a Asari would kill to get. But a little known fact about the woman was that she was practically on the "Illusive Man's" speed dial for top class assassination missions and the like.
"Ms. Nyx I have a special mission that requires the particular talents of you and Ms. Leng," the "Illusive Man" stated, causing the woman to stop and smile a sickly sweet smile.
"Who's the target," Nyx asked sweetly, a little too sweetly if you were to ask some people. However her boss merely did a corner smile and tapped the ashes off his cigar.
"You and Ms. Leng are to tail one Athena Shepard and her new associate Naruto Namikaze, find out everything you can about them, likes, dislikes, romance interests, down to the last fling they had, dreams for the future, I want to know everything about them."
Nodding Nyx left and packed for what could be a very long mission, seeing as how her and Kasumi Leng couldn't stand each other. While the "Illusive Man" just sat there and pondered what pawns he should move across the board to further ensure the survival of Humanity, and then push them to the top of the galactic food chain.
"Your move sister make it a good one," "The Illusive Man" stated, looking at all the dossiers on every member of Athena's future crew.
So how did you people like that?
Yes I know having Naruto find out his girlfriend was cheating on him was horrible, but it had to be done.
Also this will not, I repeat this will not, be a Naruhina as much as I like that pairing it ain't happening.
Also how will Naruto react to a galaxy hundreds of years ahead of his own, as far as technology and weapons are concerned.
Also no I will be featuring any of the romance interests from the Mass Effect trilogy, mostly because they are too old in my opinion, or they are just dead for unexplainable reasons.
Also what surprises await Athena when she gets back to council space?
Who will be her new crew?
And what's Naruto's deal with that cross.
Till then this is Dark Soldier signing out.
