C3, That's A Big Ship
"Talking." 'Thoughts,'
XX
Naruto looked over the holographic image of the capital city of the Land of Fire known as Volcano City with a critical eye looking for anything that he could use, as the Vengeance got closer and closer the scams got more detailed about the capital city which gave him a better idea of what to do when they arrived.
The young captain also stared at the holographic image and pointed to a rather large complex using his many years of experience and determined their next course of action, "If I'm right Sir this would be the Daimyo's residence here and probably also acts as the government building for the whole City and Country as well, this large part appears to be the main housing area for the Daimyo I believe."
Naruto nodded his head as one of the Shadow Troopers brought over a old map of the Fire Daimyo's mansion and placed it near the holographic image so that everyone on the bridge could compare them, the trooper then spoke, "This appears to be the main receiving hall where the Fire Daimyo greets his foreign dignitaries and if this old design is still somewhat accurate his main living quarters and offices are located directly behind this area."
Everyone standing around the holographic monitor studied both the plans and the image in great detail especially as they got closer and more of the home holographic became more detail, Akima however was still frustrated that they had to get so close in order to use scanners in any great detail, "I can't believe that the scanners can't give us any more details any sooner and we have to keep getting closer and closer to a potential enemy."
The captain understood her feelings and decided to give at least some good news, "I understand your concerns Lady Akima but we have the most advanced sensors in the fleet and the new prototypes are still in development at this time however the vengeance is equipped with the best, and judging by the readings we are receiving we will arrive in about 15 min. however we will have more detailed scans of the entire area especially the mansion in about 5 min. time."
Naruto had to admit that he was impressed that the new sensors were that powerful and accurate, he also studied the holographic image and the plans before him and looked at the mansion and had a sudden idea... He had a wonderful awful idea.
Everyone around him instantly knew that look and had a sudden shiver of fear ran up their spines as he then said, "Prepare the Snipers and Shadow Troopers for immediate action the moment we arrived and I want you two there as well and that goes double for you Akima."
The captain became curious knowing that some of the Emperor's plans had at times been known as overkill to many and he blamed it partially on the fact that the young Leader had once been a prankster and decided to ask a much-needed question, "If I might be so bold Sir what exactly were you planning to do?"
Naruto turned to the young captain and gave a wicked smile as he then pointed at a small part of the holographic image and then spoke, "You see this small balcony area?"
"Yes sir I do!"
"Well we are going to drive right up to it and say hello but, we are going to do it my way."

the Fire Daimyo set behind his desk doing the one thing that every man of power seemed to dread doing, the paperwork.
As he continued to read report after report or to either approve or deny things put before him he began to secretly wish for something anything to distract him from this current activity.
Well it be said that the universe and the Force sometimes give you exactly what you want even if it's over the top, that moment one of his assistants came running in and carried a single piece of paper with the look of dread about him.
"My, my what has you in such a state?" Fire Lord asked.
The young assistant handed the Fire Daimyo the report to read, the surprise upon his face was hard to miss as he read about the sudden attack upon the Leaf Village by none other than the Empire of Balance.
"Is this accurate?"
"Yes sir but we have yet to receive any more from our contact in the village, it would appear that they were quite desperate to get Mr. Uzumaki back." The young assistant said.
The Daimyo also nodded his head at this then said, "For what little we have in this report many would consider it overkill, I mean they couldn't have bothered to try to negotiate for his release... I mean it's not like the Hokage kidnapped the Emperor or something."
Right at that moment they began to hear a rumbling like sound and many voices screaming out in shock, the Fire Daimyo then proceeded to get up from behind his desk and make a long run to the balcony at the main audience hall only to see what was going on.
He had to admit wall the hall was rather large and could accommodate a great many people both for meeting foreign dignitaries and hosting great events for both the wealthy and the common man he had to admit the room was just too damn big and felt winded just crossing the distance to the balcony itself.
Upon reaching the balcony he was greeted with a rather unique spectacle of seeing what looked to be a Sky Destroyer of the Empire of Balance moving through the air of the capital with not a care in the world, however upon closer examination he realized that the large ship seemed to be coming right at the balcony itself and was not reducing speed at all.
Although he was not experienced in any form of combat he did decide to make a run for it realizing that the ship had every intention of ramming right into his home and shouted for all to hear, "Everyone run right now, it's coming right for us."
Everyone in the room immediately began to run from the servants to the ninja and samurai knowing that this was their only shot to stay alive as the ship continued to come at them on its insane collision course, once they were halfway across the great hall the impact of the Sky Destroyer was both heard and felt as the sound of crumbling stone and mortar came crashing down as the ship continued to plow through the room not caring for any in its way.
One of the many statues and was nearly 3 stories tall was also grand and destroyed hitting the ground hard and bouncing off the ships metal hole as it continued to enter the large room only stopping a few feet from the Fire Daimyo's throat itself.
By this time the room was beginning to fill with Fire Country Samurai ready to defend their leader who was hiding behind his throne in total shock at what had just occurred realizing that the Empire must've been quite angered by what the Fourth Hokage had done.
In several of the upper areas of the room that were defensive balconies for the samurai warriors who were trained in archery and had their arrows ready to bear in case they were needed, part of the ship seemed to open revealing a dark interior was no lights present.
The archers became even more concerned and hold back ready to fire at a moments notice, however before they could even let their arrows fly they were instead hit by a stun laser shot from a sniper blaster falling harmlessly to the ground unconscious but alive.
Everyone in the room was even more shocked by this as a large number of Shadow Troopers exited the ship with their weapons ready for combat at a moments notice, leading them with the current leaders of the Jedi and Sith clans.
Quorra immediately activated her blue Lightsaber keeping it ready for any kind of threats as her sister Mavis activated her red double bladed Lightsaber and was just itching to show these people what she could do, Akima walked down the ramp with a new helmet upon her head and a blaster in one hand and the specially made black Lightsaber that had been given to her clan in the other.
However it was the form of one Naruto Uzumaki walking into the room that sent a level of fear up in everyone present as he seemed to have in air of superiority about him and look that he meant business, out of the three remaining ninjas who were present in the room and also recognized him instantly one of them decided to his leaders orders and also felt a bit superior to him and was always going on about fate.
Neji was wishing to complete the orders that have been given to him and his team and made an immediate decision to capture the target before him ignoring the odds against them believing that they would win, "Naruto Uzumaki by order of the Fourth Hokage you are to surrender and accompany us back to the Hidden Leaf Village where you wil-AA."
Naruto gave Neji a rather cruel smile as he used the force to not only to choke him but also moved him into the air as he then gave his orders, "If any of the Fire Samurai even move any of their muscles in the wrong way take them down but do not kill them... Am I understood."
All throughout the room the Troopers could be heard shouting out their compliance with the orders, Naruto then said, "But leave them for me, I need to beat something up anyways."
Both Neji and and his team as well as many of the samurais could not handle the stalemate and made their moves running at the troopers and their current target, before they even got 5 feet the troopers they had opened fire stunning all of them into the ground.
Neji on the other hand could not use any of his attentional abilities or his perfect defense and his improved skills weren't not assisting him as he tried to release himself from this strange situation.
Naruto continued to toy with his opponent for a bit longer but sensed through the force that he was simply following orders, the young Emperor then decided to use his force abilities that were at this time in a choke hold and had him in the air and then repeatedly slamming him into object after object until finally hit the ground so hard that bones could be heard breaking from the impact.
The young man's two teammates then decided to engage the Emperor in combat with looks of shock upon their faces only to receive a similar treatment, the young girl was down but not unconscious however the young man wearing a strange green outfit and then attempted to attack the Emperor only to be sent flying into and through a nearby support column.
However he was not done as he then shot out some force lightning incapacitating his opponent completely without killing him in the process, as soon as this was done he then walked up and with a wave of his hand sent the throne flying into a wall revealing the frightened Fire Daimyo.
The Fire Daimyo managed to regain some of his courage as he brought himself to his full height and then looked the young man right in the eyes, "Do you have any idea what you have done young man?"
"What have I done? Oh that's right I basically drove my big ass Sky Destroyer into your home just to make a point about screwing around with the Empire and its people!"
The Fire Lord still felt as if he was somewhat still in control, "You are not part of the Empire boy, you were part of this countries ninja forces and still under my command and that of the Fourth Hoka."
The Fire Lord could not finish his statement as he felt a pressure around his throat and found himself being lifted in the air, he noticed that Naruto had his left hand extended up in the air in a clinching motion and looking right at the leader with a look of total hatred and discussed upon it, "I am no longer part of this country and I no longer answer to that man either."
With this said so that all could hear it he then released the old man from his grip and put him on the ground gently as he then walked up to the Fire Lord and then said, "The day I was banished I made the decision to forever remain in my banishment as I have no reason to return to this land what so ever."
"Then why are you here doing this?" The Fire Lord asked of him.
"That's simple, I want you to know just who your Hokage kidnapped and if you knew anything about it?"
The Daimyo nodded his head and realized that there was no point in line since he had given no kinds of authorization for this kind of operation and realized just how dangerous it was to mess with the Empire after what he had just seen, "I know nothing about what he has planned for you and have only just learned about your apprehension a few moments before you basically ran to ship into my home."
Naruto nodded his head knowing that the Fire Lord was telling the truth, even spoke to the frightened leader hoping to get what was happening over with, "Just for your information I am the Emperor of the Empire of Balance and if you're Hokage had your blessing in trying to kidnap me this would have been a declaration of war between our nations."
"We are not so easy to beat boy, you had surprise on your side but it won't happen again,"
Naruto then pulled a small piece of metal off of his belt and activated it showing a holographic image of the captain who immediately came to attention, "My Lord what are your commands?"
"Fire the main battery upon the assigned target at only 5% power."
"Yes sir, prepared to fire."
The Fire Daimyo became concerned as Naruto pointed out the side one of the walls that was no longer there to a small building still under construction, everyone in the room watched as the Vengeance's main battery opened fire destroying the building in the process.
"Remember that was only 5% of this ships over all firepower and don't worry we made sure no one would die I'm not a monster but you should know that every single person in my military has had more than five years of total war experience in comparison to both your samurai and ninja so do not test me because if you do threaten either me or anyone I care about ever again... I and the Empire will not hesitate to walk over all of your cold corpses to retrieve them, now do I make myself clear?"
The Fire Daimyo could only nod his head in understanding as Naruto then said, "Good now the chest that is coming out of my ship will pay for the damages to your home I hope, and we will negotiate a peace treaty at a mutual location like the Land of Iron in two weeks time or would you prefer we just go to war?"
"No your terms are quite acceptable, there is so much to tell you."
"At the moment I don't want to hear it." With that said he and the rest of his troops boarded the Sky Destroyer as to chest were left with a enough money to easily rebuild the house of the Fire Daimyo without any problems whatsoever.
Everyone in the room then heard the sounds of rumbling once more as the ship literally pulled out of the Fire Mansion and set course towards home.

the Leaf ninja team that had been put together was so more than 20 min. from the capital when they saw the Sky Destroyer leaving. Realized they might already be too late but had to push on knowing that they had to know if they were at war.
End of C3
I would like to hear what you all think about this particular chapter, and also if any of you saw that fit with the sky destroyer basically ramming into the building coming or not.
Please read and review.
