"113, do you have my position over" whispered Naruto in to his headset

"Affirmative 117 I have your position all I need is for you to tag who you need me to drop" replied Linda through her headset.

"Tagging targets, standby". Inside a bush, wearing black cargo pant, black t-shirt, bullet proof vest and a helmet, a teenager pulled out a laser point, designed for the purpose of marking targets for a sniper. He pointed it at the first man, as said man made his way around the parked warthog. With one click he moved on to the second man who was standing in the machine gunner spot. He clicked yet again.

"113 all targets are tagged you may engage" whispered Naruto in to his headset.

"Um 117 there are supposed to be 3 guys you have 2 tagged" replied Linda.

"I'm fully aware of the number of hostiles but 116 took him out nicely"

"Ok enjoy the show". Naruto watched as a Numb (*2) round drilled the poor Drill Sergeant clean in the face knocking him out cold. Naruto saw him slump to the dirt road and then the machine gunner soon joined him, not before falling face first into the machine gun.

"All targets down, 114 has set up the bouncers so we have a code green for the area, 115 and 116 move to the Warthog ill meet you there, 114 could you head up to 113 and lend her a hand" order Naruto over his headset. 117 heard a click from everyone's com channel signifying they understood.

When the blond soldier reached the car he found a red head female wearing the same mask as him and a black haired male whose hair resembled that of a pineapple.

"117" whispered the red head.

"Fuck formalities when we are this close Sam" whispered the blond corporal.

"Whatever Naruto anyway Shika was just trying to hack into the objective" replied Sam as she pointed at the pineapple haired corporal hacking away at a digital locked briefcase.

"117, 115,116 take cover you have enemies converging on your position" whispered Linda over the com channel. Before they could move 10 enemies surrounded them. One of the men smirked.

"Finally the Spartans loos-" "hold that thought Gaara if you would" yelled Naruto as he pulled Sam and Shikamaru to the ground.

Behind the men 10 round balls popped out of the ground and exploded sending a volley of numb pellets in all directions. Naruto smirked as all of their enemies were caught by different amounts of pellets rendering each of them unconscious.

"Gaara remind me never to anger you" whispered Naruto as he got up. Naruto watched as the briefcase was finally hacked into but all that Naruto could do was groan at their prize.

"Ok Fox squad regroup at the warthog I'm popping the flair so we can go home" said Naruto over his headset. He took one more look at the piece of paper before pocketing it. After 10 minutes Linda and Gaara finally made their way over to the red glowing flair. They all shared a smirk at one another before pulling down there masks.

"Linda that was amazing we've been at this for 5 months now and I still don't get tired of watching your sniping" smiled Naruto. Linda smirked at him. Naruto was happy with his squad it made him feel like he had received a 2nd chance at having a new family and with all the might at his disposal he would not let this one fall apart.

"So what did we win" asked Linda.

"A piece of paper with congratulation on it" stated a board Shikamaru. Sam and Linda laughed while Gaara looked up at the sky.

"Ok enough chit chat, let's round up the bodies for the medical unit" laughed Sam as she high fived Naruto "and by the way great plan Naruto". He chuckled before making his way over to the unconscious Drill Sergeants.

Time skip 1 hour

"That bastard where the hell is he" yelled Naruto. On the third month in the Spartan program they were assigned a supposed ace flyer named Josh. No matter how good he was, he had a bad habit of being late.

"Speak of the fucking devil" groaned a tired Sam as the roar of the Pelicans engines started to approach. As soon as it landed Naruto went at him.

"Why were you late?" he hissed in anger "on the battlefield that could cost our lives you lazy fuck". Josh just frowned a little.

"I'm sorry I got some bad news from UNSC (*3)" whispered Josh in a sad voice as he sent out a signal for the medical Pelican to head to his position. Instantly Narutos expression softened.

"Sorry, what was the new?" said Naruto loud enough that it made it over the engines.

"Dad and brothers died during a battle with the rebels" replied John as he gave a wave to the flier of the medical Pelican.

"Sorry to hear that" replied Naruto as he patted him on the shoulder "I can kind of understand some of what you might be going through seeing as I lost both my parents to rebels, anytime you want to talk I'm here". The 20 year old pilot smiled.

"Thanks any way, time to go so take your seat 117". Naruto nodded and took his seat in-between Shikamaru and Sam.

"Shika Cigarette please" said Naruto as he held out his hand. Shikamaru smiled as he gave the blond both a cigarette and a lighter. Naruto lit it and sucked in lightly as to savour it. 2 months in Naruto started to smoke. Not much but a little bit. The only thing was he had to hide it from Mendez.

"You shouldn't smoke it screw with your intake of oxygen and makes it harder for you to train" lectured Linda. Naruto stuck out his tongue before breathing in on the cigarette after which he disposed of it out the back door.

"God I love the look of the forest in the morning" sighed Linda.

Day: Wednesday, March 4 2525

The Pelicans engines cut off as the tiered Spartans exited the back. They thanked Josh and headed towards the road that would bring them to Barracks 1.

"Naruto"

All of Fox squad turned to see Mendez in a transportation warthog (*5).

"Throw your shit in the back and hope in, that's an order" yelled Mendez as he sensed that the Corporal might argue with him. With a sigh, Naruto tossed his Ma5b and other gear in the back of the warthog before hopping in and taking off down the dirt road towards the science lab.

"Wonder what he did to piss off Hasley this time" asked Gaara in his usual monotone voice.

"God knows" yawned Shikamaru loudly as they went towards Barracks 1.

"If she blames me for anything I'm going to be pissed off" sighed Naruto as he looked over the science building in the distance. The building was white with a big window that let who ever looked at it see right in to the lobby. Even though the building was only medium sized for regular soldiers, there lay an underground complex for Officers, scientist who worked on the Spartan project, ODST (*6), and Spartan candidates. Naruto had been in the underground office of Dr Halsey's many times for punishments for being rude to regular soldiers who acted like dicks.

Hasley had more respect in the military than in the science field due to the fact she was developing the drugs that fox squad would be injected with in 7 months not to mention she was designing a military suit only Spartans can operate.

As they came to a stop the usual blue haired receptionist named Konan met them and accompanied them to Halsey's office. The blue haired women never talked at all, the only sound she made were clicks as he high heels hit the metal floor.

Finally they reached the white door that Naruto dreaded. Mendez slowly opened said door after knocking twice. There sitting behind an oak desk sat a women at the age of 34. Her hair was a dark shade of blond and she wore glasses. She looked up from some paper work and smirked. Her office was medium sized.

"Hey four eyes what's up" chuckled Naruto. Suddenly a desk ornament was sent flying across the room where it made contact with Narutos forehead.

"Mendez keep the Spartan under control, I can't even believe I'm actually doing this" the last part of her sentence was said lower that Narutos ear drums could pick up "Now please both of you take a seat" she point to two chairs in front of her desk. Naruto slowly sat down as he rubbed his forehead. Mendez sat down on his left. Naruto noticed a monitor with this morning's war games on it.

"Yes 117 we film your little games" said Halsey "now then on to business I've called you here because we're recommending you for a promotion to sergeant, we also have a new code name to go along with that and your squad mates want you to command fox squad". Narutos eyes widen before a smile came to his face.

"You're not kidding with me right" asked Naruto curiously.

"Nope kid you're a natural leader" said Mendez with a gently smile.

"Then I accept" said Naruto calmly.

"Good ... and your new code name is Master Chief" said Halsey before mumbling 'Master my ass'. Naruto smiled yet again before saying thank you.

"Ok then we should have the answer to your recommendation in about a week so just hang tight, now dismissed, you can take my warthog back with you" said Mendez as he shook Narutos hand. Naruto then shook Halsey's hand before exiting.

"Funny this boy could end up being more useful than an entire fleet of UNSC destroyers" said Mendez as he looked at Halsey.

"Could be... no more like will be"
