Chapter 2: A Hero Awakens

Jane stood in between Admiral Hackett and Captain Anderson in the comm room. To say she was nervous would be a huge understatement. She was terrified. They were a day out towards the citadel where they would refuel and restock on supplies before heading out to the Athena Nebula wherein lies Nevos, when out of the blue Jane found herself being called up to the comm. room. She expected either the captain or the admiral to brief her on the mission.

What she wasn't expecting was for both of them to be there with her application papers in hand…

" I am so boned!" Jane thought as she looked at the two men. She quickly snapped herself into a more respectful stance.

"Admiral Hackett, Captain Anderson... Is there something I can help you with?"

They both arched an eyebrow at her. Their combined stares seemed to burrow into her soul. Jane forgot how to breath for a moment.

Finally Admiral Hackett broke the uncomfortable silence. He softened his gaze for a moment.

"Jane Shepard. Lady Jane Uzumaki. Two different people with two almost identical backgrounds. Both born on the same day of the same year; both grew up in the land of Fire in Konohagakure no Sato; both joined the shinobi core at six years of age."

It was at this point Admiral Hackett paused and it felt like a bomb was about to drop.

"But only one graduated to the rank of chunin while the other dropped off the face of the earth. Is there anything you would like to explain to us commander like perhaps why you hid your identity from the other members of the alliance?" he asked though to Jane it seemed like more of an order.

"This wouldn't happen to be about your distant relation dating back to the fourth shinobi world war would it commander?" Captain Anderson asked though he betrayed no emotion Jane had a distinct feeling that he already new what her answer was.

"Admiral Hackett sir, my reasons for hiding my identity are my own. As you are obviously aware I never truly hid the fact that I was Jane Shepard… although their are things about me that even a well decorated shinobi like yourself Captain Anderson doesn't know, hell even my own mother doesn't know everything about me."

"Oh is that so young lady well I guess we are just going to have a sit down so I can find out what my youngest is hiding from her mother!" a voice said from behind Jane

Jane paled as she heard the voice and turned around hoping that it was someone other than her mother that she would be facing. Praying to kami and any of the other deities that the person behind her would not be her mother .. but given her recent luck when Jane turned around she found herself face to face with the only other person who truly terrified her...her mother Hannah Shepard Uzumaki.

"Uh… Hi mom what are you doing here… A-aren't you stationed on the SSV Tetsu?" Jane asked hoping that this was all just a bad dream and her mother wasn't standing in front of her.

"You're not dreaming Jane. I am Here on the Normandy and as for the Tetsu well they can survive without me for a few days. Now what's this I hear about you falsifying your records and hiding your Identity? " Hannah asked as she looked at her daughter confusion and hurt surfacing in her eyes.

"XO Shepard perhaps you would like to continue this conversation elsewhere and not in the middle of our questioning her about the information in her personnel file!" Captain Anderson admonished before turning back to Jane the serious look still fresh upon his face

"So Commander would you care to re-explain why you falsified your personal information in your personnel file I would like you to know that whatever you say here will not result in any form of reprimand this is a strictly informative conversation, Commander. So we will ask you once more why didn't you use your clan name when you officially joined the alliance as a chunin?" Admiral Hackett enquired

Jane looked between her mother, Captain Anderson, and Admiral Hackett worried about their reaction when she gave her reasons. Taking a deep breath before preparing to answer the question posed to her

"My reason sir for not using the Uzumaki clan name is because I-"

"Excuse me Admiral but we are being haled on a secure channel. Looks like it's coming from the citadel." A voice said over the intercom interrupting Jane's explanation… Not that she minded

Admiral Hackett looked at Captain Anderson a look of confusion spread across his weathered face.

"Joker is it coming from the Ambassador's office?" The Admiral asked

"No Sir it appears to be coming from the Council themselves should I patch them through to the communications room?" The now named Joker asked as Jane felt the tension rising in the room

"Patch them through Joker let's see what they want." Admiral Hackett said as he looked toward the FTL comm

They only waited a minute before three holographic projections sprung up before them there were three of them a woman who would have appeared human where it not for with what looked like some sort of rigid tentacles and tribal markings on her face. She was an Asari and was wearing what may have been a two color dress. The other two Holograms were the furthest thing that could be described as human. One of them looked like some sort of cat mutant lizard bird thing, with a crest on its head, a pair of mandibles on its face and a carapace around its neck. It was a Turian and was wearing some sort of full body suit. While the other looked like some sort of mutated frog with big insect like eyes. It was a Solarian and was wearing some sort of hooded Robe. It was then the Solarian hologram began to speak.

"Admiral Hackett, Captain Anderson we of the council have heard that you are going to investigate the asteroid on Nevos. Since this is an Asari world we would like for you to bring along a team of council scientist's to help study the chakra radiation coming off this meteor perhaps we m-"

Before the Solarians hologram could finish his sentence captain Anderson spoke up

"NO we do not need any help in studying chakra it's bad enough that you all but demanded us hand over chakra after the first contact wars. Now you would have-"

Hackett looked at captain Anderson

"Enough Anderson I believe you made your point in this matter. Councillors I do believe that this conversation is over. Humanity as a whole does not need the interference of the council in this matter since this is a very personal matter for humanity, I mean no disrespect when I say you should leave this matter alone."

The Admiral said as he looked back at the holograms. Jane looked between the Holographic Councillors and the Admiral, knowing from past events that the council would not leave this alone without getting some sort of foothold in this mission an idea sprang forth to Jane's mind. But before she could begin considering all the consequences and any rewards that this idea might have a soft voice snapped her out of her thought process. Jane looked up and saw that it was the asari councillor speaking

"Admiral, we understand some reasons as to why humanity as a whole is so secretive when it comes to chakra and it's research but perhaps in this instance we can find an alternative to the present situation we seem to find ourselves in."

Captain Anderson nearly snorted at her comment considering most of the alternatives that have been posed by the council usually weighed heavily in their favour.

"Im listening"

Was the only response the admiral gave to the Asari

"If you recall the incident after the first contact war. A group of rogue Salarian stg managed to infiltrate a chakra research centre in a country on earth i believe the country name was, please forgive my pronunciation but it was called Name No Kune*. When they successfully took over the facility it took the combined efforts of the Anbu corps and a Spectre to not only rout the Solarians but also end the situation permanently. What I propose is with the alliances cooperation that we the Asari Spectre and pair her with an Anbu agent with a near perfect track record. That way the council gets a detailed report of what transpires on Nevos and the humans do not have a team of council scientists, poking around the site of impact, getting in their way while they investigate the source of the chakra."

Admiral Hackett had to admit that it was a good plan not only did the alliance look good for including one of the council races in this but also the alliance brass wouldn't be angry with the council for poking around the meteor impact site.

"I believe the alliance would agree to this idea. I do have one question though where do we pick up an anbu agent this far from alliance space?"

The Three holographic Councillors looked between each other before the Turian nodded his head. Then the Asari Councillor spoke up.

"We of the council request ANBU agent Kyuubi. They will meet up with spectre Agent Tela Vasir on the citadel and then progress to Nevos."

The Admiral looked to Hannah and then back to the council.

"How do you know of the Bijuu Councillor?" Admiral Hackett said though his face couldn't be seen his surprise was evident in his voice.

To Admiral Hackett's surprise it was not the asari councillor that responded but rather the Turian

"The council keeps track of any and all types of Weapons that have been developed or created by any of the council races(*), and despite how pitiful these tailed beasts as you humans call them sound they are still weapons that can be used for mass slaughter should they ever be found,and one would expect that should these things actually be found the systems alliance would turn them over to the council for safe keeping" He said with what seemed to be amusement

Jane looked at the Turian councillor her rage beginning to rise up at the Turian for daring to refer to the Bijuu as mindless weapons to be unleashed at mere convenience

"THE BIJUU ARE NOT WEAPONS, THEY ARE LIVING BREATHING BEINGS. MY ANCESTOR NARUTO UZUMAKI HIMSELF SOUGHT TO MAKE US UNDERSTAND THIS POINT, AND IN REGARDS TO YOUR COMMENT ABOUT THEM BEING FOUND, DURING THE FOURTH SHINOBI WORLD WAR OBITO UCHIHA AND HIS ANCESTOR MADARA UCHIHA RE-FUSED THEM TO CREATE THE JUUBI AND SEALED THE BEAST WITHIN HIMSELF-"

Before Jane could finish her response she was interrupted by the turian councillor

"You expect the council to believe that the tailed beasts are actually living beings, that is preposterous they are nothing more than mindless soulless weapons. As for the comment about them being refused into this juubi-whatever that is- it's just a myth you humans created to explain the disappearance of the tailed beasts. The fact of the matter is that they are somewhere on your planet waiting to be found which is why you will not let council scientists on Earth to search and seize these weapons. "

Before Jane could refute the claim that the Bijuu where on earth Admiral Hackett turned his head to Jane

"Commander Shepard would you please leave the room. You are too emotional right now to be included in this conversation."

Jane turned to look at her mother and then admiral hackett the look in their eyes told her that this wasn't a request but rather an Order. She was about to argue that she was fine but realized that the admiral was right

"Honourable Councillors and Admiral I would like to apologize for my outburst i have had a trying day. Might I be excused?" Jane asked

Receiving a nod from all those in attendance Jane turned around to head out to CIC.

[half an hour later]

Jane looked at the Comm Room door after she had left there was shouting one moment and then the next eerily quiet. So quiet that jane nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard the comm room door open and a voice tell her that she may re enter.

As the Jane re entered the comm room the first thing she noticed was that the council was still no longer around. The second thing was that captain Anderson seemed extremely pissed off if the look in his eyes was anything to go by, and third thing that Jane noticed was her mother. Hannah Shepard Uzumaki was no longer standing in the relaxed stance that she had been in when Jane had left. The stance Hannah was in now was comparative to a general giving orders to her troops.

"Admiral Hackett what is going on sir? Where did the council go, was the situation resolved?" Jane asked

The admiral looked at Jane for a moment

"Unfortunately I am not able to tell everything that is going on but what i am able to tell you is that we will be picking up both an Anbu agent known only as Kurama the Kyuubi and a council Spectre from the citadel, we are also picking up representatives of the Nara, Akimichi, and Inuzuka Clans. Now considering that I don't know who Kurama the Kyuubi is nor what gender they might be, but if Kurama the Kyuubi was actually a Kunoichi from the Uzumaki clan that falsified her personnel file to cover up the fact that she was actually this Anbu agent then conversation we just had in regards to said Kunoichi's personnel file would be a moot point now wouldn't it?"

Captain Anderson looked between Jane and Hackett

"Admiral you don't mean to tell me that Kurama the Kyuubi is actually the commander?"

"Unfortunately Anderson I have no Idea who Kurama might be. What I am saying is nothing more than pure speculation not at all based on facts."

With that said Admiral Hackett turned around and walked out of the Comm Room possibly going to notify the pilot about the extended stay that they would be having on the citadel.

The Citadel Docking Bay D-24

Two days later the Normandy and its Crew found themselves in one of the docking bays in the wards. While The crew was waiting for their new passengers to arrive and so far two said passengers were late.

Three hours passed before sounds of gunfire could be heard coming up the Elevator towards the normandy. Not twenty minutes later two figures could be seen running towards the Normandy. It only took a moment before they saw an unknown Asari with what looked to be state of the Art armour and Weapons, and an unknown Anbu with a grinning fox mask, five minutes later the two were on the Normandy in a state that could only be described as they went to hell and back.

"Man that sucked let's never do that again. You okay Asari" The Fox Masked Anbu stated as she was doubled over trying to catch her breath. While the Anbu was catching her breath the asari looked like she had seen a ghost(*).

"It wouldn't die. My biotics were powerless against it(*). Why wouldn't it die? Kyuubi why wouldn't die?" The asari spectre kept asking over and over again her eyes wide with fear. Both the Kyuubi and The asari were terrified as they remembered the creature that prevented them arriving at the Docking bay on time. They were broken out of their fear when a voice spoke out to them

"Kyuubi what the hell happened out there I was just waiting to leave back to the Tetsu when I'm told you hadn't reported in for over an hour then I see you running here like you had the devil on your ass, The other guests have already arrived… THREE HOURS AHEAD OF the hell took you so long?"

Kyuubi looked up only to see her captain standing over her and if the sound of her voice was anything she was pissed the mission had taken so long. After Immediately jumping up from the unsightly position she was in Kyuubi stood at attention and made her report

"Lady Shinju I would like to introduce you to the asari spectre that has been tasked by the council to investigate the meteor that is giving off Chakra. Madam Spectre allow me to introduce my ANBU commander Lady Shinju the Juubi."

Juubi eyed the Asari for a moment.

"A pleasure to meet you Madam Spectre as my subordinate said I am Shinju the Juubi or ten tails of the ANBU Corp."

"Also Lady Shinju the reason why the spectre and I took so long is, due to the fact that it(*) is here on the citadel. I don't know how, why or even when it got here but it's here, alive and well on the citadel!" She said her voice trembling in fear before she regained her composure."

Juubi stopped dead if you were able to see her face you would see the terror creeping across it

"You mean to tell me that that demon is here on the citadel? Why the hell hasn't c-sec killed.. hell the Inuzuka on the force should have tracked it down and killed it by now." Juubi took a moment to straighten out her thought process before sighing in resignation "Well Kyuubi your new orders are to continue on this mission and take spectre and the Normandy to the planet Nevos."

Kyuubi looked at her Mentor Juubi, then the Asari Spectre, and Finally the air lock.

"Juubi what do we do about the demon we can't just let it run loose on the citadel think of all the casualties it may cause."

Juubi looked back at Kyuubi and then at the air lock

"May Kami rest the souls of whoever encounters the demon and if they should fall may they recover quickly. Kyuubi you may remove your mask and introduce yourself to the Spectre, since this could be a very long mission. Now if you ladies would excuse me I have to go back to the Tetsu(*) I'm pretty sure the captain has gone insane without me there."

After finishing the conversation Juubi left the Normandy leaving Kyuubi and the asari spectre to continue the mission they'd been assigned. Kyuubi looked at asari and started to remove her mask slowly revealing a tall woman with sky blue eyes. Her fiery red hair was pulled back into a ponytail.

"Madame Spectre allow me to properly introduce myself. My name is Jane U. Shepard, Jonin Kunoichi of Konohagakure No Sato. I hope that we get along and work well together during this mission."

The Asari Spectre looked at Jane surprised that the Human would admit so much about themselves, and that their was no hostility towards her for being an alien and spectre. Most Humans she had encountered had either started kissing her ass or showed open hostility when told she was a spectre especially those who made up the Shinobi and Kunoichi Corp.

"But she is different. Not what I expected of a human and definitely not what I expected of a Kunoichi. But then again not even the way she fought that thing(*) was even remotely similar to the other shinobi and kunoichi i've met and if the information in her file is even remotely accurate then perhaps she might make a good spectre someday." The Asari mused to herself

"It is a pleasure to meet you Shepard, my name is Tela Vasir. I am a spectre, I also hope that we get along during our work together." She said with a smile on her face.

Neither one had realized that in the time it took for the two of them to recover -from what they would later describe as their first near death experience on the citadel- the normandy had already left the docking bay and was on its way to the citadel mass relay.

Finally getting up after recovering from their intense run from the demon(*) both Shepard and Vasir shook hands. Soon enough the two turned from each other and started towards the Comm room for a debrief from both admiral Hackett and the council.

Three hours and one shocked council of aliens later the normandy was well on its way to Nevos. For the most part the trip was uneventful it took two days to get to the right nebula from mass relay at the citadel. From their it took another hour to get to the right mass relay and then three more hours to get to Planet Nevos.

While the Normandy orbited the planet Jane and Tela were being briefed in the normandy's comm room by the Admiral and Captain Anderson

"Commander Shepard, Spectre Vasir thank you for coming up on such short notice." Admiral Hackett stated. Though his voice was emotionless and betrayed nothing his eyes told a different story. If one looked the aged veteran in the eyes long enough one would see hope glimmering deep in them.

"As you know the mission that we have undertaken is to secure the meteor that is giving off chakra. But what you don't know, and this will be of particular interest to you and your family Jane, is that the huge mass of rock isn't what's giving off the chakra. In Fact the meteor is just an outer shell what is really giving of the chakra is encased at the core of the meteorite the person in that meteor was last seen 2000 years ago at the end of the fourth shinobi world war. Care to guess who I'm talking about?"

Jane was shocked beyond words the idea that her ancestor could very well be sealed inside the meteor was unimaginable considering that the second moon that her ancestor had been sealed in had been knocked out of orbit almost eleven hundred years ago.

"Are you sure Admiral Hackett that my Ancestor Naruto Uzumaki is inside this specific Meteor and before you answer i want you to know that I'm not asking on behalf of konoha or the alliance but rather as one of the heirs to the Uzumaki Clan. So I will ask again are you sure Admiral Stephen Hackett that my ancestor Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze is sealed inside that Meteor alive and well?"

Admiral Hackett knew that should this be false hope that he would have made an enemy of one of the most powerful clans on Earth. The only clan in earth's history that took three separate villages to destroy.

The awkward silence was broken when spectre agent Tela Vasir decided to voice a question that had been bouncing around her head since she saw Jane's expression change from hopeful to serious

"Excuse me for my ignorance for I don't know much in regards to earth history but who is this Naruto Uzumaki and why does he seem to be so important to Earth and Jane?

"Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze Second founder of the Uzumaki clan this time in Konohagakure No Sato or the Village Hidden in the Leaves, hero of the fourth shinobi world war, jinchuuriki to the kyuubi no kitsune, the Kami no Kage Bunshin, and creator of the Rasen Shuriken Jutsu." Jane started " If he is alive in that meteor he would be the head of the uzumaki clan a spot which has sat vacant since the fourth shinobi world war. He as I mentioned is my ancestor, during the fourth shinobi world war he managed to defeat madara uchiha and seal the Juubi into himself and then managed to convince the known world to seal him into what would later become our second moon. But later on when his wife Hinata Hyuuga was offered the uzumaki clan seat she declined saying it was her husband's clan so his son should be the next clan head. Yet when Boruto was old enough to be considered clan head he also refused saying he hadn't earned the right to take the seat from his father so both him and his little sister himawari would take the position of acting clan head until their father's return. So the clan head seat has been vacant for nearly two thousand years. Also with the return of Naruto the alliance can regain some of the history and possibly some of the Jutsu that we're lost to us. Imagine if you would how the Asari would feel and react if the goddess Athame were to come back imagine what she could tell you about her history and why she made some of the decisions she did. That is what Naruto… I mean lord uzumaki means to the alliance."

With an understanding of what this meant for the alliance Tela had to admit that she was curious about meeting this Naruto. She figured she would have to get a human history book to find out more about this Naruto person.

"Yes the information that the core of the meteor is in fact Naruto Uzumaki,is confirmed i made sure of it myself and before you ask yes Jane he is still alive, although it seems he maybe in a comatose state unfortunately we cannot confirm this until we get him out of the meteor.."

Jane stared at the Admiral before she suddenly realized that in her haste to find out if this was some sort of sick joke or not she forgot to inform her mother!

When Admiral Hackett finally stopped his briefing Captain Anderson begun briefing them

"Our mission commander is to release the seal thus bringing lord Uzumaki back to earth or more specifically Konoha and her people. We already have a team surrounding the crash site waiting for the four people who will be able to release him from his two millennia long nap."

As he finished speaking the comm. room door opened with a loud hiss alerting the occupants of the room that someone had entered. All eyes turned to the person or in this case people who had entered the room wondering who it might be and they were shocked to see a citadel security officer walking in with the inuzuka clan fangs tattooed upon her face, and beside her ninken partner walked. Following close behind the Inuzuka was a tall man (though not nearly as tall as the woman in front of him) with a lazy and uninterested look on his face, though he had no markings it was apparent to most of the people in the room the man was from the nara clan, and Finally though she was a little older than the others was a rather well rounded woman with the Akimichi clan sigil on her left arm.

'So..' Jane thought ' Ironically three of the four people that are able to release my ancestor are descendants of the ones who he used to skip class with him and if I had to hazard a guess it would either be me or one of my siblings to represent the Uzumaki who helped create the counter seal.'

Jane eyed the newcomers with a weary eye the Inuzuka was tall if Jane had to guess the Inuzuka In front of her probably stood around 7 ½ to 8 feet tall which was almost as tall as some of the women from the southern jungles jane briefly wonder if young lady in front of her had relatives from the southern jungles or kumo. Jane estimated that the Inuzuka was probably in her late teens to early twenties. The tell tale red fang tattoos of the Inuzuka clan seemed bright against her dark skin, which seemed to give merit to the idea that at least one of her parents was from the Southern Jungles. She wore the standard blue and black uniform of a c-sec officer. Her long midnight black hair was pulled back into a ponytail that reached the small of her back. Her slitted coal black eyes were reminiscent of a wild animal, and yet they seemed to hold little warmth and a lifetime of sorrow.

Then their was her ninken partner and though Jane hadn't been to the Inuzuka compound in years even she could tell that the young Ninken was huge standing at about 48-60 inches at the shoulder. The massive Ninken has Black fur with a white muzzle as well as four white paws and a white belly(*) his bright blue eyes continually scanned the room seemingly assessing the situation.

Jane's gaze soon turned from the Inuzuka to the Nara standing beside her. He stood about 5'6", he wore his hair in a spiky ponytail in typical Nara fashion and while the look on his face seemed to suggest that he was lazy and comfortable his body language was telling a different story. Showing that he was on edge ready to react in typical shinobi fashion if the situation called for it. Jane estimated that he was in his early to mid twenties. He wore the standard Jounin uniform of Konohagakure No Sato the green flak jacket on top of a blue shinobi shirt and pants. He had three long jagged scars running down the right side of his face. His dull grey eyes payed close attention to his surroundings seemingly assessing the risk of everyone around him.

Jane looked past the Nara to gaze at the Akimichi woman at that moment Jane thought she might be seeing a ghost for if the history books where right than this woman while older than the rest of the group looked exactly like a female version of Choji Akimichi(*). Jane guessed that the woman was probably 5'7" and in her late twenties to early thirties. She had the same long reddish brown hair reaching the middle of her back, the same plump face with red spirals on her cheeks. She wore a similar armoured red overcoat with the akimichi clan sigil on the chest plate, she even wore similar black shinobi pants and sandals. the only real difference was her red mesh undershirt was visible beneath the overcoat.

"Chunin Lyall Inuzuka and Tyr reporting with Jonin Ayalon Nara, and Tokubetsu Jonin Parvana Akimichi as requested Sirs!" She stated her eyes staring down into those of admiral Hackett's and yet despite her size the Admiral seemed not to be intimidated

Admiral Hackett looked from Lyall to her Ninken partner before looking down to his omni tool

"Thank you all for coming allow me to introduce Lady Jane Uzumaki and Spectre Tela Vasir-" The admiral began before he was interrupted by a loud snort, from the akimichi

"So the Uzumaki clan has finally found their long lost princess, pardon me princess but i think you should leave and let the adults talk it out her-"

Before Parvana could finish her insult she felt the cold sting of metal pressed against her neck. She looked to the spot was Jane standing in just moments prior. Much to the surprise of everyone in the room Jane was still standing in the same spot looking at Parvana with a smirk before she dispelled in a puff of smoke, shocking everyone even more seeing as the hadn't felt any chakra spike nor had they seen jane do any hand signs.

"Be careful what you say Akimichi I'm not a princess and I was never lost. I'm an Anbu and this little display didn't cost me a even a fraction of my total chakra!"

Before Parvana could form a response Jane removed her sword blade from parvana's neck while simultaneously placing it back into the sheath.

Parvana looked at Jane surprised that she wasn't dead considering the killing intent that was rolling of the Uzumaki heiress.

"Alright that's enough from both of it took the entire shinobi alliance to seal him away and it will take three of his closest friends to unseal him. Unfortunately the Uchiha clan head and the kazekage are busy so that means you three are the only hope we have left." Captain Anderson stated the authority clear in his voice.

Ayalon looked from Admiral Hackett to Captain Anderson then over to Jane

"So the rumours are true then? Lord Uzumaki resides within the meteor that crash landed on the planet below us?!"

He asked the surprise evident in his tone

Admiral Hackett looked at Ayalon before giving him a brief nod

"Yes the Rumors are completely true i confirmed them myself the mission is to land on the plants surface and unseal the meteor."

Admiral Hackett turned to the rest of the assembled group and continued

"Now there will be a med team on standby in case of emergency, also Lord Uzumaki has been sealed away for over two thousand years so some disorientation is to be expected. Now each of you may want to change into your dress blues seeing as you will be not only representing the alliance and earth but also your individual clans."

As the admiral finished his speech Jane looked to him

"Admiral Hackett I would like to inform you that I will not be changing into my dress blues. I am a kunoichi and an Uzumaki I follow the old teachings."

If Admiral Hackett was shocked from Jane's outburst he didn't let show on his face and before he could say anything in response, Jane had already taken command of the group.

"Grab your gear, change if you're going to and meet me in the cargo bay in five then we leave for the planet's surface."

With that said she was already on her way to the Cargo bay leaving the comm. Room.

Normandy Cargo Bay Five minutes later

Jane and the rest of the group that were to unseal her ancestor, now all they were waiting for was for the Normandy to land on the planet.

While it wasn't one of the most comfortable landings considering the turbulent winds hitting the ship at the same time it wasn't one of the roughest landings that Jane had been through.

"Attention all passengers this is your pilot speaking we have been cleared for landing and have begun our decent into Asari air space the current temperature is hot with a bit of blue from the residents we here at Normandy enterprise air do hope those of you in the cargo bay enjoyed are rougher than normal landing and are currently not on your asses. Thank you and please bring come back with a living legend and Have a nice day!"

Joker's voice chimed out over the intercom making many people on the ship groan and smirk at the same time.

After a few more minutes the crew finally felt the Normandy land, and it was at that time when everyone present felt the tension rise as the reality and importance of their mission fully sunk into their conscious minds. With that one thought firmly grasped the group of five watched as the cargo bay doors slowly lowered allowing them to see the beauty of the planet before them

Two hours later at the meteor crash site

Admiral Hackett, Captain Anderson, Jane, Lyall, Ayalon, and Parvana all stood in front of the Meteor, while Tela Vasir stood off to the side observing the Meteor that supposedly contained the legendary hero of the Fourth Shinobi world war Naruto Uzumaki. The small group of four approached the meteor as one the group bit their fingers hard enough to draw blood and touched the meteor before performing the ten necessary hand seals for the release the same ten that had sealed away the hero so long ago but the difference this time is that they were performed in reverse.

"U,UMA, NE, INU,TATSU, MI, HITSUJI, TORI, TORA, USHI, Seal of the New Moon KAI" they said in unison and with a mighty thunderous crack the meteor broke open to reveal a young man who appeared no more than twenty-twenty five years of age his face framed by his long blonde hair, his cheeks marred only by six whisker like marks three on each cheek, further down revealed he was wearing a black and orange jumpsuit that seemed a few sizes too small. The group looked at him once again and saw the standard Konoha headband loosely hanging from his forehead.

For a few more moments no one moved, it even seemed as though no one even breathed all was silent. Jane finally broke the silence by moving forward she reached forward to her ancestor and slowly put her fingers to his neck feeling a strong pulse she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Admiral Hackett I believe we should get him to a hospital for treatment, there is one close by that should provide you with all the necessary items for treatment if you would follow me" Tela said turning around while the med nin rushed in and secured the precious cargo.

Thirty Minutes later outside the Asari Hospital

Admiral Hackett waited in his dress blues the normally calm and collected man was nervous as hell

Frasshu Bakku No Jutsu*

Admiral Hackett is following Lord Naruto's stretcher into the hospital when a shinobi runs up to him

"Admiral Hackett sir… W-We Just received a Priority One Communication from Arcturus." The man said while trying to catch his breath

Admiral Hackett raised an eyebrow to the man wondering why Arcturus would send a priority one Comm.

"What does it say?" He asked

The man looked up at the admiral his eyes wide with shock

"Sir I-It says that the Kōtei shin Ryū* is stretching his wings and on his way here!"

Admiral Hackett's eyes widened in shock at the news that Shigekuni Genryuusai Uzumaki known to the rest of the alliance as the acting clan head of the Uzumaki/Namikaze clan and the only man to gain a triple SSS ranking in the bingo book. A man simply known as the Emperor God Dragon to his enemies, was now on his way here to Nevos.

Frasshu Bakku No Jutsu Kai*

The one thing that Admiral Hackett found odd was that Shigekuni Uzumaki had only left Alliance space four times in the last Twenty Three years and each one was only when a family member…

"Of course he's coming to meet his ancestor the long lost family member that saved earth in the fourth shinobi world war. He's coming to meet the living legend brought back from the old time."

The admiral spoke to no one in particular

"But we just found out that he is in fact still alive so who could have reported th-"

A voice brought the admiral out of his thought's

"Admiral I would like to apologize about the breach in protocol but i contacted my Mother and informed her about the fact that our Ancestor Lord Naruto Uzumaki is alive, my mother probably told my grandfather who then would have told my great grandfather. Now them and siblings should be arriving shortly."

Jane said as she stepped up to the admirals side.

The Admiral looked at Jane and sighed.

A few minutes later the Admiral Hackett's omnitool started chiming and beeping signifying that he was receiving a call. He raised his arm pressed a button on the device and screen appeared in mid air showing an older woman with chin length red hair that was greying in places, behind her an Elder Man approached who looked to be in his late fifties to early sixties (though in reality it was more likely the man was in his mid eighties to early nineties [Damn that Uzumaki longevity is useful for covering up one's age]). He wore a white Haori over red armour* its form reminiscent of the armour once worn Hashirama Senju with the but with the Uzumaki clan crest in the centre. As He got closer Admiral Hackett could see his bald head marred only by a rather large cross shaped scar on his forehead, his rather large silver eyebrows drooped low over his face, as the Admiral further studied the man that was now standing at the forefront of the video he noticed the man's red eyes and long silver beard. This man was the Kotei Shin Ryun

"Admiral Hackett." He said in a soft tone that commanded the attention of those listening. "We are nearing the planet's surface and wish to inquire about the status of Lord Naruto's health. The medical charts that my great granddaughter has sent us show he recovering much quicker than anticipated and should fully regain consciousness within the next few hours, what sort of medication have you given him to induce such things?"

"Lord Uzumaki we haven't given Lord Naruto any sort of medication. We were unsure as to whether modern medication would have any effect be positive or negative on him so we opted not to give him anything and let his body recover naturally."

A Few minutes earlier in the Asari Hospital

Frasshu Bakku No Jutsu

It was over. The Fourth Shinobi World War was finally over yet no one was celebrating for this was not a Joyous occasion, because a group of people surrounding Naruto Uzumaki the hero who after three and a half years ended the fourth shinobi world war by sealing the Juubi into himself. Naruto crouched in the center of a circle of his friends and family looking at him with pained expressions knowing that they couldn't help alleviate him of his suffering in any way, shape or form.

Glancing up he saw his grandmother figure Tsunade Senju, attempting to run a diagnostic Jutsu in hopes of finding a way to stop the effects of sealing the Juubi into him. He saw his brothers in all but blood Sasuke Uchiha, and Sabaku No Gaara.

Then he turned his gaze to a small boy with blond hair and the blue hair pale eyed woman that carried him. They were his two year old son Boruto Uzumaki and the boys mother Hinata Hyuuga, the woman he was to marry after the damn war had ended. Hunching over Naruto began to wheeze and started coughing up blood.

"Hang in there Naruto we need you to focus I think I might have finally- " Tsunade began to say before she was cut off.

"Baa-Chan stop I… I don't have much more time... You have to use the seal *cough* that I left for you it's *cough* the only way to obtain the peace that Ero-Sennin, Nagato and I strived so hard to obtain that Neji died for. Please don't *cough* tarnish their memories by trying to stop this." Naruto by the end of his small speech had begun to vomit up more blood while it seemed like horns were trying to poke their way through his head band.

Hinata looked at her childhood crush… No her fiance then at their son. Even though Naruto seemed to be dying, her own life was flashing before her eyes.

"But Naruto if you are sealed away who will be the daddy that Boruto will need?" Hinata asked while barely holding back the tears that threatened to fall.

"Yes. Naruto who will show your son how to control the Uzumaki FLAMES OF YOUTH…" Lee yelled at the top of his lungs, tears streaming down his face. "YOU MUST HOLD THIS BEAST BACK WITH YOUR FLAMES OF YOUTH, YOU MUST BE WITH YOUR SON SO PLEASE NARUTO HOLD THE BEAST BACK ONCE MORE WITH YOUR FLAMES OF-"

Naruto looked up at his obnoxious friend a pained grin spread itself across his face.

"Lee, I don't think my flames of youth are going to be much help here in fact I can slowly feel them diminish. Please do this for me."

Naruto looked at Gaara and Sasuke, the determination of his resolve shining in his eyes.

"Please look after my son and Hinata. Now do it already... I'm beginning to lose my grip on the beast it will come-"

"Naruto please you have to fight it you can't abandon Boruto and Hinata they will need you to-" Sakura began to say before Sasuke and Gaara both put their hands on her shoulders.

"Sakura" Sasuke started his normally calm and collected voice cracking "Stop ther… there's nothing we can do to stop him. He… You should know this Sakura after all we were teammates at one time. But Once Naruto puts his mind to something there is nothing that we can do to stop him. After all he was chasing me all around the Five Nations for the past 5 years trying to get me to come back to konoha." Sasuke then looked from Sakura to Naruto tears now freely falling from his eyes

"Well Done looks like you succeeded now that the War is over I'll head back to konoha and help watch over your kid. You have the eternal gratitude and allegiance of the Uchiha clan from now till the end of time. Goodbye my brother."

Sasuke then picked Sakura up and lead her away from Naruto all the while she was kicking and screaming trying to get sasuke to let her go. Then Gaara walked up to him

"Naruto it pains me to see you like this I should be the one in your position you should be with your family. But I like sasuke know how pointless it is to try and get you to change your mind, do not worry my friend i too shall watch over Boruto and Hinata when i can and you also have the gratitude of the Sabaku clan and Konoha shall have the Allegiance of Sungakure no Sato and clan Sabaku from now till the end of time."

Saying his final farewells Gaara put a hand on Hinata's shoulder

Tears began to fall from Hinata's face as she realised that this was the only way to keep them all safe. If there been any other option where Naruto didn't have to be sealed away then he would have taken it in a heartbeat. She approached Naruto with Boruto in her arms. He managed to lift his hand and place it on his son's

"I'm sorry Hinata, Boruto. I'm sorry I won't be there to see your first steps, *cough**cough* or to see you enter the Academy, or even be with you when you graduate *cough*and become a true shinobi of Konoha but know this your daddy loves you very much and he will always be watching over you and your mother. When you look up at the moon know that daddy is watching you." With the words to his son spoken he kissed his son on the forehead and looked into Hinata's pale white eyes "I'm sorry Hinata I know I promised to marry you after the war was over *cough* but I don't think I'll be able to see you in that dress you bought, I'm sorry Neji died, I'm sorry I didn't keep my promise to him and to you I hope you can forgive me."

Hinata looked Naruto in the eyes. His tears were flowing down along with the blood coming from the corners of his mouth. She pressed her forehead against his and closed her eyes.

"Naruto do you remember when you fought Pain in the middle of the village? Do you remember when he had pinned your hands together using one of his chakra rods, despite the fact that you told everyone to stay back while I rushed in to try and defend you from Pain? No? Well then let me recount those events:

It was on that day I decided I was tired of staying behind you and I decided to stand beside you as a friend. Soon that friendship we shared blossomed into something bigger and I would just like to tell you that I wouldn't change any of that for the world…

Well maybe this one part I would change but I guess what I'm trying to say is I love you and I would gladly be sealed away instead of you."

After Hinata had said her last goodbyes to Naruto took one last look at both Sasuke and Gaara.

"Take good care of yourselves and my son for if I find out you didn't I'll-" Whatever Naruto was going to say was cut off as he let out an unearthly scream of pain as he began to vomit more blood.

Realising that there wasn't anymore time as one shinobi and Kunoichi alike shouted their best wishes to Naruto while forming the necessary hand seals.

"USHI,TORA,TORI, HITSUJI, MI, TATSU, INU, NE,UMA,U. FUINJUTSU(*): SEAL OF THE NEW MOON."

With the seal activated the Allied Shinobi Forces jumped away from Naruto and watched as the earth began to envelop him and slowly rise into the sky.

"Alright time for me to get to work" Naruto thought as he closed his eyes and drifted off into his mindscape knowing he had a lot of work to do and a lot of power to learn to control for when or if he saw his friends and family again.

Frasshu Bakku No Jutsu Kai

"HINATA"

Naruto shouted as he bolted up in the bed nearly sending himself flying into (only through his sheer will and determination ((and how often he'd woken up in a hospital bed)) was he able to remain rooted in spot.) Startling the three (blurry-looking) people standing and one blurry quadruped watching over him.

A/N Thank you everyone for your support and a Special thanks to Zealous Specter who has been there since the beginning (even though it wasn't that long ago) and for giving me more inspiration to write and ideas

Now I've had a few questions that i think should be answered

To the Guest reviewer from May 10: Yes I will include Chakra Armor but it won't be widely used as much and as for the Raikages Chakra Cannons... We'll see im not sure how i could encorporate that into this story but i have an idea that may or may not pan out.

To Blaze 1992: I know I already answered this privately but figured incase anyone gets confused as to this I should probably clear it up The humans of this universe can Use Either Chakra or Biotics not both and as for the Council thinking the Bijuu are weapons all i have to say to that is the people of the Naruto Univers originally thought of them as nothing more than weapons so why should the council ( or more specifically the turians)
