I do not own Naruto or Gundam no matter how much I want to.

I would like to thank scione for reviews and I am probably going to go with the naruten pairing because I don't think there are enough of them.

By the way, tell me if I am portraying Neji as too evil

Naruto pulled up the zipper on his red and black space suit and fixed his helmet to the back of his collar. He then pushed himself out of the door and headed toward the bridge.

It had been 3 days since the spotting of the reconnaissance dagger and Naruto was aching to get back into the cockpit of the Idealist. He had been bored stiff through those three days doing everything to keep from dying of boredom.

Flashback

Naruto lay on the floor with his legs resting on his bed. His eyes drooped so much that his eyes were mere slits. He carefully looked over the specks to the Idealist, looking for anything that might be interesting. He pressed the next button on his laptop and on the screen came a picture of the cockpit. He looked at it carefully and at first it looked just like it did when he first tested it. But upon closer inspection he noticed that one of the front panels on the controls had opened up.

He stared at it for a few minutes before his common sense kicked in and he began to read the caption. His eyes scanned the text looking for some explanation. Eventually his eyes came to rest on a line. '…berserker mode can only be activated when a strong mental impulse activates it. Once activated the front panel will open to reveal the mental controls. Note: pilot will lose conscious when using mental controls and must build up a great mental strength before attempting.

End Flashback

Naruto scratched his head as he wondered why nobody ever noticed the passage before.

But before he could contemplate any further he looked up to notice he had made it to the bridge. He put his arm out to stop himself as he pressed the button to open the door. When in the bridge he looked around till he saw who he was looking for. He slowly came up behind the concentrating blond and put his hand on her shoulder.

"Hey Ino, ready to see me crash and burn again?" Ino jumped a little and looked up to the grinning pilot. She then smirked one of those evil smirks and replied, "Sorry Naruto, I am doing that for someone else right now." Naruto looked dumbfounded for a minute until he decided to see if she was telling the truth. Naruto moved his head in front of the screen to get a good look at the pilot.

"WHAT! NEJI? WHAT ARE YOU DOING THERE?!"

(A few minutes later…)

"Let's get this strait Neji, why were you piloting the Idealist?" Asked a very irritated blond pilot. Neji just smirked and said, "I clearly remember Kenjiin saying that it was up for grabs and as far as I know you have not mastered it yet either." "Yeah, but that does not give you the right to-" "-And we both know that I am the better pilot, so even though you do have more flight hours than me I am the rightful pilot."

It was then that Ino decided to interrupt in there little argument. "Actually Neji, you got the same score as Naruto did. You are both 51." At this Neji nearly did a face plant while Naruto burst into laughter. Neji recovered first and while gritting his teeth he growled, "It seems we will have to settle this another way."

Kenjiin just smiled and jumped down into the commotion. He then grabbed each by the shoulder and said, "Well it looks like we need to have a little paint-ball fight."

Neji turned from the man's grip and as he was walking away he said, "I will go get the Ginns ready. I expect to see you down there at 0630 Naruto."

Naruto Looked down the hall at the solemn individual with an emotionless face until Neji turned out of sight. The crew, who had been staring at the commotion, just turned their heads and went back to work. Naruto turned his attention to the now bored looking Ino. He started scratching the back of his head and addressed the blond. "Uh, Ino?" "Hmm?" Came the bored reply. "Thanks for deflating Neji's ego back there. I just have one question: If you hate me why did you do it?" Ino smiled and sat back in her seat. "Oh I just love to see the crap get beaten out of you." Naruto sweat dropped. "I should have figured…"

The two Ginns just stood there, floating in the depths of space. One was a placid white and purple while the other was a distinctive orange and red.

A voice was heard between the two fighters. The speaker was none other than the captain of the two. Kenjiin was observing the match in a black and purple Ginn and was to act as referee. "All right, you both know the rules: first hit one the other person wins."

The two both answered in unison. There was an eerie silence for about a minute before Kenjiin raised his rifle. He fired off a single shot from his rifle and like that the two pilots went at each other. Neji was the first to fire with a three round burst narrowly missing Naruto as he deflected them with sots of his own. The result was an obscuring cloud of paint which both of them took for an advantage.

Naruto lay in wait behind an asteroid as he started breathing heavily. He saw a small bit of movement and instantly went for it. He jumped up from behind his hiding place and fired long burst. Expecting to see a paint covered mobile suit, Naruto was startled to find floating shield instead. He quickly jumped to his senses and looked all around for his opponent.

Suddenly machinegun fire erupted from underneath him. He flew back to dodge right as a hell bound Neji came up with a knee to Naruto's back. Naruto was flung upwards till his face met with the screen. He fell back in his seat and held his face for a few seconds.

As Naruto dealt with the pain, Neji was behind an asteroid, watching him. Neji ejected his current magazine and replaced it with a fresh one. 'Damn, I used one clip already? That just this one. Better make good use of it.' And with that he peaked around his cover to try and spot his adversary. Having found nothing, he went above the asteroid to get a better survey of the area. He looked all around him and when he thought Naruto ran, an alarm started to sound and Neji then looked up. He was too late to do anything when a leg came down to strike him on shoulder. His suit flew down and came to rest when it hit the asteroid he was just hiding behind.

Naruto then opened fire at the spot where Neji's suit was. Neji dodged backwards and sent his own volley of bullets in Naruto's direction.

Naruto furiously dodged them left and right. When he found no more fire coming at him he flew off in the direction Neji retreated. The two exchanged fire, each dodging the other's bullets.

It was Naruto who first broke the stalemate. One of the smaller asteroids hit Naruto's leg and he lost balance. As Naruto tumbled around in space, Neji saw his opportunity and went for it. Firing with near precision accuracy Neji might have hit Naruto, but for the asteroid which took all the hits. Naruto tried his best to try and balance himself out. He finally pushed up on the throttle and the jets took effect and he stopped moving.

As he breathed a sigh of relief he looked up to see Neji right in front of him. Naruto stopped, this was it, Neji had him. It all seemed to move in slow motion as Naruto thought about how he would never be able to pilot the Idealist when…

"CLICK." Neji looked at his ammo supply. The bar was already down at the bottom and was red.

As Neji relaxed and prepared for the inevitable, Naruto raised his rifle. He checked his ammo supply just to make sure and slowly pulled the trigger. "CLICK." He pulled it again. "CLICK." "CLICK." "CLICK." "CLICK." "CLICK."

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
