56006: He saw how and where did he died in the original canon GATE timeline world (Bullet through the head on Saipan, 1944 in the largest banzai attack ever.)
Derox-1223: I hope you like it:)
Guest: Thank you for pointing out, I'll kept with Seiji Yoji for this fic but the lesson is learned.
Reason why I'll keep the name as "Seiji Yoji"
1. Most of the fans of the GATE series knew Yoji as just "Itami" changing name to Seiji Itami will confuse people even more.
2. I had already gone 10 chapters into the story, it's to far to make changes right now.

Japanese Prime Minister, Tokyo, State of Japan
Prime Minister Motoi Shinzō were woke up in the middle of the night. The news about the Imperial Japanese Army inside the Gate forced him to call for a security meeting, the participants were composed of. Prime Minister of Japan, Commander of the Japan Ground, Air and Maritime Self-Defense Force, Minster of Defense, Head of the DIH and many other intelligence agency.
"We can't afford this to leak to the public. Imagine the reaction of China, Germany, Russia, America and the two Koreas if they knew that Imperial Japan were alive and well. They will come right for us, maybe even an invasion!" The head of the DIH suggests as footage of IJA soldiers and vehicles were shown to the participants of this meeting.
"How many IJA troops are we expecting, can our original garrison held against them?" Prime Minister Motoi asks as the picture shown on the screen changed to the map of the GATE world showing JSDF and IJA position. "As of now, one IJA division were spotted in the Special Region, estimated air capability of an Air Army." He continued.
"Though the IJA outnumbered us three to one, we have decades of technological advantage over them. The JSDF garrison will be able to held against any IJA attack. I assure you." The JGSDF commander said, giving assurance to Motoi that there will be no IJA attack on Ginza or anywhere.
"Last report sent by Hazama said that he was forced to occupy half of Italica to prevent it from falling into IJA's hand. He was also negotiating with the IJA commander regarding corporation between our nations. The ambassador should be dispatched expected that the Imperial General Headquarters are also organizing an emergency meeting after seeing our superior weapons and equipments."
"That's good enough for me. I want every reports and informations we had on the IJA on my table tomorrow. Digged out any records from the archive that can help us estimating the IJA's strength and weakness. Told Hazama that he's clear to fire if the IJA do anything bad. This meeting is dismissed."

Imperial General Staff, Tokyo, Empire of Japan
IJA and IJN high-ranking officials gathered in the middle of the night, reports sent by General Kuribayashi scared everyone.
"All of their soldiers were equipped with automatic firearms, tanks with thick sloped armor and 105mm gun, fully armed and functional gyrocopters equipped with missiles and gun, fighters with rocket engines. What kind of human we had ran into?!" An IJA general shrieks in terror as he read the report sent by General Kuribayashi after the encounter with the JSDF.
"That's on ground and air vehicles. Imagine their ships!" Another navy admiral said, images of giant vessels equipped to the teeth with guns, missiles and cannons that can sink a Yamato with a few shot appears in his mind. The headquarters is in total chaos before Admiral Yamamoto and General Tojo slammed their fist into the table causing others to stop arguing and listen.
"Before we all freaked out let's talk, I heard that they called themselves "State of Japan" and "Japan Self-Defense Force" right?" Yamamoto asks as he pointed at several pictures showing Japanese Hinomaru flag on JSDF tank, helicopters and uniforms.
"They said that they came from 20XX, 21st century and that Japan joined Axis and lose the war."
"That's ridiculous!" General Saito shouted out, "We joined the Allied and we are now helping them in Europe and Africa right now aren't we?!"
"My suggestion is that we kept this as top-secret, hide it from the public and other nations. Or else the British, American, French, Chinese, Thai, German and everyone gonna come right for us. We should also form a new unit within section No.2 of the IGHQ* to find any information about these 'Japanese' let's call it 'State of Japan Department' for now." Tojo suggests as chatter erupts in the room before the chat dies down and all general nod in agreement.
"Good, I want every record about this meeting deleted. The State of Japan Department will start gathering any information we can find about this JSDF. Pick the best officer from every department and put them there. Don't use coded message either, it's too easy to intercept, use messenger instead. I want every information about the JSDF on my table tomorrow morning. Understood?"
"Sir! Yes! Sir!"
"Good...dismiss!" Tojo said as the generals and officers scrambled to gain any information they can about these JSDF. Tojo and Yamamoto were also thinking about informing the emperor about this but how are they going to explain that the Japanese army from future with different history arrive and told them that Japan sided with the Axis, lost the war and became ally with the US. Tojo and Yamamoto take a deep breath before going back to their office. A huge pile of documents were waiting for them.

Italica
The JSDF and IJA troops were waiting for the arrival of General Hazama and Kuribayashi, they will be coming to talk regarding the occupation and the historical problem.
"Present...Arms!" Seiji ordered as General Kuribayashi's car drive pass the city's gate. On the opposite side, General Hazama's car is also driving into the city.
"Welcome to Italica General." Seiji said as General Kuribayashi walks down from his car. JSDF and IJA troops were all over the city, comfronting each other face to face.
"Thank you Lieutenant Yoji, good work." General Kuribayashi's word caught Itami by surprise. Surely this guy couldn't be his long-dead grandfather but hey, this is Gate. Anything can happen...
"Wait wait wait, what is your name again?"
"Seiji Yoji, why?"
"Grandfather?!"
"What are you talking about?"
"You are my grandfather that's what!"
"Are you high?! I couldn't be your..." Seiji said before Takao walks in with an army cap in his hand. "Seiji...I had been looking all over for you. The treaty is about to be sign and General Kuribayashi wanted you there, follow me!" Takao said before he runs off. Seiji glanced back at Itami before saying "We will have to talk about it later..." Before following Takao to the mansion, not knowing that Kurata and Takagi overheard their conversation.
"Are you hearing the same as I did?" Kurata asks as he keep shaking his head in disbelief while Takagi just kept looking at his officer through the the binoculars. "I'm afraid yes...I knew that a lot of weird shit happened here in this world but this is too fucking weird." Takagi said before the two slowly turns toward each other with suspicion on their face and question in their head.
"You aren't my grandson/grandfather are you?" The two said to each other simultaneously, Kurata remember that his grandfather's name is "Takagi" but he want to make sure with surname confirmation.
"Wh...what's your name."
"Takagi Sato." Takagi answered, Kurata sighs in relief before Takagi asks him back. "What's your mother's name?" He want to make sure that his daughter isn't this guy's mother.
"Hikari Soma." Kurata answered as Takagi sigh in relief as Kuribayashi walks by. "Ah! Kuribayashi, where are you going?" Her name caught Takagi's attention as her surname is the same that of his general.
"I'm going to the wall, Hazama want us to keep our guard up in case of attack." She answered before she start ran away. "What a cute girl she was." Kurata comments as he turn around to the shocked Takagi. "What's the matter?"
"Her name is Shino Kuribayashi. Commander of the 109th Division is Tadamichi Kuribayashi. Don't tell me that she's..." The shocked Takagi said with terror in his voice as Kurata's facial expression was also changed from normal to shocked.
"What the FUCK?!"

General Kuribayashi, General Hazama and Princess Pina shake hands inside the palace where they were holding a negotiation regarding the terms of occupation and demilitarization of the city.
"I'm sorry to say this princess, but by this situation we will have to occupied Italica for awhile. The situation is too fluid and we will have to settle with the IJA about history for a moment. The prisoner however, will be all at your disposal for the rebuilding of the city. After that, they will be divided into three parts for all of us." Hazama said before gestures toward General Kuribayashi who nodded in agreement. "It wouldn't be long, maybe about a month depends on if we can negotiate a fair deal." Pina can't do anything but accept the treaty. After all, they are the one that save the city from the bandits and she's at their debts.
"I understood generals." Pina said as she finished the treaty with a swipe of pen. The treaty is now in effect.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"They are going to occupy the city." Pina said to Grey as she swiped her sweat, The JSDF and IJA had agreed on dividing Italica in half, the Northern half occupied by the IJA and the Southern half by the JSDF.
"Well...that's not unexpecting thing for the victor to do. What about the prisoner?" Grey asks, Italica will need those prisoners for the rebuilding or it will take years to rebuild the city back to its pre-war state.
"They are returning all the prisoner to us for rebuilding then we will divide them into three par
"Last question, what about us. What are they planning to do with us?"
"Nothing yet, they allowed us remain here but we are nothing but puppet and local security forces. At least they didn't demand anything harsh. Keep an eye on them, I smell something fishy..." Pina answered as the Japanese Rising Sun and Hinomaru flag were raised to the flagpoles followed by a loud sound of "BANZAI!". The city is no longer part of the Empire...
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"What the hell?!" JSDF and IJA officers shouted out simultaneously as they read through each other's history book. "Defeat at Khalkhin Gol and Khasan, Invasion of China in 1937, the Pacific war, the fall of the Empire, Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the United States and Japan. the fuck is this bullshit!" IJA officers yelled out at the JSDF who're also looking at the book in disbelief.
"2nd Russo-Japanese war, Second Sino-Japanese war ends in total Japanese victory, Khalkhin Gol and Khasan victory? Japan join the Allies?! What kind of history is this?!" JSDF officers retorted at the IJA after finished reading the books. The two came close to punching the opposite side in the face but General Kuribayashi and Hazama walked in just in time to prevent this mess from escalating.
"I suggests that we all calm down and continued this tomorrow, no need to hit each other. We have a lot of time left anyway so you all better stop fighting and continued tomorrow." General Hazama said as the soldiers stop arguing before sitting down and listen closely.
"For Imperial Army officer, you knew what disobeying order means. Right?" General Kuribayashi continued with the sentences that shake every IJA officer to the core. They knew what the general means and he's not messing around...
"Yes sir." The soldiers from the two Japan said before they start walking out of the room.
"Damn that's close." Hazama sighs in relief as he don't have to sent letter of condolences to anyone.
"Even after the Army-Navy rapprochement in 1934, extremism still run high in many of the soldiers in the two branches. I'm afraid that if this goes on, inter service rivalry will ruined Japan..." Kuribayashi said in disappointment that despite all the effort to keep extremism under control. There's still remnants left."
"How about we go back to our camp, it's ought to be dark soon so we may as well go back and planned for the future operation. Even if we're from the different time let's cooperate." Hazama said as he offers general Kuribayashi a handshake. "Perhaps a bottle of Sake?"
"Sure." General Kuribayashi replies as he shakes Hazama's hand before the two left the room. Time and history doesn't matter for men to cooperate with each other.

Night of 11-12th November, 1940
100 miles outside Taranto Naval Base
IJN Carrier Task Force
[Insert theme "Pearl Harbor-Attack"]
In the light of the candle inside the living compartment of the aircraft carrier "Akagi" IJNAS pilots are preparing for an assault on Taranto Naval Base, combined UK-Japanese command decided that the attack will be launched at night to add the element of surprise and after months of vigorous training, they are ready...
"Revered father..." A Japanese pilot wrote down in his letter to his father back home in Japan as his comrades prepared themselves for the fight.
"I go now to fulfill my mission and my destiny. "
"I hope it is a destiny that will bring honor to our family,"
"and if it requires my life."
"I will sacrifice it gladly to be a good servant of our nation."
"Let's go!" The IJN officer ordered as the pilots start running out to the runway and start boarding their aircraft. The ground crews are also working around the clock loading bombs and torpedoes onto the aircrafts.
"The pilots cheers as they drink a cup of Sake, the pilot start putting on their iconic Hachimaki bandana as they start accelerating down the runway. British aircraft carrier nearby was also launching their Fairley Swordfish biplanes as well.
"Climb Mount Niitaka! I repeat, CLIMB MOUNT NIITAKA!" The IJN Captain ordered as the Japanese naval flag, the Rising Sun was raised to the top of the flagpole. Signaled the beginning of the attack.
Upon hearing the order, the deck shooter signaled the pilot that they are good to go. The first Aichi D3A accelerates at full speed and lifted off the carrier, Zeroes and D3A were also taking off from Soryu and Kaga. British Fairley Swordfish biplanes were taking off from aircraft carrier "Illustrious" as they formed formation with the Imperial Japanese aircrafts and set their course towards Taranto. Their order, destruction of the Italian fleet...The squadrons fly away from the carriers before disappearing into the darkness...
