Not a Hoe: It took me a minute to realize what you said. For a second I thought it was Muv-Luv pun
RedGuard: The next chapter comes out now and thank you for the positive response sir.
: I didn't really want to make this TOO Brutal but some of my readers weren't satisfied with just bullets ripping their fleshes so I rather put juice showers and fruit slashes in the story but yes I did intend to make them arrogant since most Governor-Generals or Shoguns were arrogant and un-naïve during the Feudal Era especially for Kenji and Naomi in the game.
LordGhostStriker: Maybe both but it's close to copying and adding minor changes and other things such as happening and some happenings, everything including timeline is set and ready, I'm just remaking it in the Empire's or my version, I did say this back in chapter 1.
Kira444: Sorry, I always get lost with Japanese names, thanks though.
Mrshiki: Okay then, I'll mostly stick to 3rd POV.
Me: Oh you'll see it. I guarantee it.
Thor94: You can go visit Command & Conquers wikia. There you can see illustrated images of the army. But I'm trying my best to describe them in the story, sorry if I'm not descriptive enough.
Pen: Geez sir, please be patient and do not worry. I'll try my best to fit all units into the story.
BigBossVince: -Laughs nervously-…eh…I'm just a weird writer that's all.
Vincent0234: Why yes, I already have a sequel swimming in my mind but still far.

AN: First of all I have my reasons why I'm late for updating. Last week I'm occupied with my school life because of the Student Council forcing us to work as their slaves for our upcoming games, second, this week was examination week so I had to study a bit killing every scheduled time that I planned for Fanfiction. Lastly, I just started writing this chapter 3 days ago so expect some rush but I tried.
I'm so sorry for the very late update. I just finished my exams days so that means I got occupied with my school life but now I'm back to writing for the whole weekend along with our national holidays so I have all the time back to continue.
Some of you might be confused why I put omega as Naruto's sister, let's just put aside the realistic elements, scientific theories and all that stuff about their differences and just accept that this is a fiction. The reason why I put Omega in that role because I feel sorry for the Imperial Commando, I mean growing in a research facility (dissection!) and used as a guinea pig for cloning, Prince Tatsu has been her only friend till the end and I think she deserves some break and love.
Somebody also PM'd me that I add more talks from the Nation's council and inner circles. While I do love writing political stuffs in my stories but sorry again, I won't be writing about politicians talking gimmicky bullshits for their own benefit here so don't expect too much economical and constitutional discussions in the story. It's more on action but some little genres included.
OH! By the way, a question…Someone suggested me something and that certain someone wanted me to make a Harem for Naruto since that certain someone wanted to add more girls within Imperial Premises. Of course, this will ENTIRELY CRACK the romance part of the original story. Reason was that the Empire of the Rising Sun is using Feudal System combined with the Modern One-ruler Monarchy or Father Knows Best System, meaning…Concubines or…Harem. I'm saying this because some of you might want a Harem for Naruto, as of now, one is agreeing. So until I encounter Toph, please do go to my profile sooner or later to vote if you support the suggestion.
PLEASE READ: Word got out that our region will be experiencing lack of power for the week so I had to rush this in three to four days. Expect many mistakes in this chapter but I'll have it edited in the next update.
Disclaimer: Please do not think otherwise.

Chapter 3: The Young Prodigy
The Air Nomads do have their unique ways when it comes architect or cultural structures, they mostly build their temples and sacred sanctuary's in almost impossible landscapes and areas like on the most top of mountains that reach the heavens. The atmosphere can be very holy and 'pleasant' if you are within the somehow mystical ground.
In the Eastern Mountains of the Earth Kingdom, stood the Eastern Air Temple, the origin of the now Avatar. From afar, you could see the mountain palace through the moist clouds literally attached with the peak of the mountain, it is said that you can only reach the temple with flight or ride a flying creature. Now the one who said that was SO very wrong.
Aang, who is now riding in his bison Appa with his friends, Katara and Sokka continued their travel towards Southern Air Temple. Aang was still hesitant that he's people are or were involved in the 100 year war, he could not believe that the Fire Nation wiped out and burned the Air Nomads reasoning that it's almost impossible to enter their territory without the use bison or dragons unless they did excessive climbing skill in the their thin mountains.
"Trust me guys! There's gotta be tons of Air Benders there!" Aang said cheerfully as he tried his best to deny the facts.
"Aang the world hasn't seen an Air Bender since the rule of Fire Lord Suzan" Katara explained trying to make Aang turn back and just accept it, not only they would be wasting their time to travel to the North Pole, he might see the remains of the temple, if not, his people.
"Just because people haven't seen one, that doesn't mean they're all dead" Aang said back still with the innocent and denial look on his face. Katara sighed again for the fourth time during the flight.
"Aang, the Fire Nation is ruthless and vicious in battle, they killed my mother long ago, what makes you think they do the same thing your people" Katara said. The thought made Katara and Sokka frowned for a second there. Mentioning the raid which the day there mother was a bit sensitive especially for Katara.
"Katara, you don't understand. The Fire Nation may have been blessed with the most destructive element but that doesn't mean they can travel all over the world. Besides, the only way to get to the Air Temple is a Bison or a Dragon" Aand explained. The Water Tribe siblings just gave up and shut their mouths in defeat.
A few more minutes of flight, the Air Temple finally came to view.
"Guys look! It's the Southern Air Temple!" Aang said with joy. Katara and Sokka looked in awe at the view with smiles on their faces in seeing such sight. The Air Temple was on top of the mountain as its foundation with towers ascending so high that could pass through the heavens.
"We are home buddy, we are home" Aang silently said to Appa with relief in his voice and a nostalgic look. They landed in the small clearing by the cliff and started to make their through the manmade paths and cave entrances to the Temple.
First thing Aang noticed was the change of atmosphere in the area as they continued their walk, it was too quiet and rather dull…the hard ground was dirtied and dried unlike the grassy feeling, the wind held a smell of ash and emptiness and the walls and structures had scratches and black marks. Is it just him or the place changed a bit or completely changed.
They stopped in the courtyard of the Air Temple, Katara noticed a sad and void look on Aang's face, this of course would make her concerned.
"Aang. What wrong?" Katara asked. Though she already knew what was wrong and the question wasn't really uncalled for, she knew that Aang realized her words by now.
"This place…it's so dead" Aang depressingly said. The place should be green and clean, the place which is a friend of nature filled with Bisons, Airbenders, Limurs and Monks. Now nothing but a dead, burnt and abandoned graveyard. No Airbenders at all but he was still hesitating that his people are dead because he thinks it's impossible.
Sokka was about say something but was cut off by someone else's voice with robotic and native accent. (It's that how you talk inside a powered helmet?)
"May their souls move on" Said someone with a robotic and strange voice.
The three slowly walked. Rounding up the corner and hiding behind a bush, they peaked through and saw two figures by the burnt structures and tents. This figures had skinny red and yellow steel armor, thieir heads were covered with curved shaped helmet with glasses glowing red and they had 4 strange shafts extending on their backs and two sheathed blades on their waist. It was Rocket Angels.
'Strange…is someone spying us' The Rocket Angel thought sensing something odd in the area. She had a hunch that someone or something was spying on them, she gestured her partner to be on guard and make sure they weren't the prey here.
"Judging from the form of these corpses, they were executed and burnt alive" said one of the red figures.
"Do they have no sense of honor at all" Aang heard one the two said while inspecting the numerous figures of skulls and bones littered on the ground and walls. Aang didn't understand what the red figure meant about questioning honor. We're they pointing it out to the corpses or the ones who killed them.
Aang gasped at the sight. What a very late reaction and realization. The corpses were wearing Air Nomad robes or clothing's, some remained while some were burnt. Katara covered her mouth suppressing her gasp, the sight was horrible for them to register, skeletons plagued all over the place some of them were hanged and stabbed with dusty swords or spears. Though they made a mistake.
"Kuh!" One of the Rocket Angels turned and gritted her teeth when she sensed a presence nearby with some changes on the air. She was sure that she heard an inhaling breath and a brushing leaf sound. The Rocket Angel quickly brought out her Beam Katana but didn't activate its superheated mode.
"Come out, I know your there!" The Rocket Angel demanded with her blade at a certain bush.
"You have 5 counts to comply! One!" She shouted again.
"5!"
"What do we do?!" Sokka half-whispered and half-yelled to Aang.
"4!"
"I'll distract them, get to Appa and meet me in the east part of the temple" Aang directed them.
"3!"
Katara complained and was concerned with the plan but Aang reassured her reasoning that he is an Airbender and can fly.
"2!"
"…" Nothing but silence, both Rocket Angels were beginning to be impatient. There attached pods activated showing Photons Rockets ready to tear them to pieces and stayed on the ground not planning to float in the air during combat unless necessary.
"1!" The final countdown passed.
With that, Both Rocket Angels fired their weapons sending numerous Photon Rockets to the targeted bush. As the rocket were just about to land, a wave of strong air shot out of the bush, strong enough to redirect the rockets route and explode elsewhere as dust gathered in the air. The wind reached the Rocket Angels pushing them a bit but was able balance themselves and stand firm from the force.
Soon the dust faded revealing a 100 year old Avatar inside a barely teen child in Air Nomad clothing, it was an airbender! The Rocket Angel thought. Wasting no time, both activated their Beam Katanas as their blade glowed bright and charged at the child with super speed thanks to the boosters attached in their legs and boots. Aang was surprised at the speed and they were closing in too fast! He immediately jumped very high in the air and landed back to the courtyard.
Just when he thought he was safe, it was soon then that these red figures were flying in the air. One charged at him from above with both blades aimed at him, he swung his staff forming another wave of air but it didn't knock the angel. Just he was about to be stabbed, a boomerang out of nowhere was heading towards the Angel, forcing her to change her attention and deflect the threat. They turned to see a bison flying by. Taking advantage of the distraction, Aang quickly sprinted and jumped by the edge and wall runned, The Rocket Angels chased him as they fired their rockets. Aang dodged every rocket with eased and effort while also trying to avoid obstacles like flying or falling rocks that was caused from the explosions. One of the Rocket Angels then sheathed her katana and brought out a glowing whip.
"Huh?...AAAH!" Aang screamed as a ripple of electricity crawled his spine starting from his foot. A thin bright glowing wire caught his foot and it was electrifying him making him scream in pain. Stunned, they pulled him to the air letting him go off the whip. By that moment, Aang recovered immediately from the shock and shot out another air blast which they evaded with no effort. Aang landed back on top and sprinted again as the chase continued, craters were made around the place and Aang had enough of this, deciding to conclude this chase, he raised his staff and twirled it as the fog nearby started to gather to him covering the visibilities of the Rocket Angels, but this was useless as their helmets were also built with thermal-visors so the chase continued but was halted when Aang wasn't there anymore, Then it finally ended as Aang used his glider and landed at Appa.
One of them would've started to chase the bison but stopped when her partner spoke.
"Halt, we are commanded to return immediately" The Rocket Angel said stopping.
"Humph. I guess they don't have any intentions of leaving that child alone?" The other halted as she still held her paralysis whip.
"Of course not, he is an Airbender…or possibly the Avatar" The Rocket Angel stated. She glanced at her side to see a Sun Burst Drone gently crawling on her shoulders.
"Go" She said and pointed at the retreating bison, the mechanical dragonfly nodded and took off.
Aang was bewildered at the earlier events. He's people were dead, the bones and skeletons were a proof at that, not to mention the Temple being very dry and dead. But what made him think alsowas those two red humanoid figures that they encountered at the temple, he knew that the Air Nomads were only people who could fly without the help of bisons and dragons but this two made him think otherwise. They had flaring wings behind them and fire below their foot, they shoot out otherworldly azure flames and it was literally chasing him! Not to mention the explosive fire power after collision.
With the Airbenders hanged by a thread to extinction, this caused Aang to be shocked at high levels. Katara did try to cheer him up but she knew it will take a lifetime for Aang to move on and keep living with the life he has now, he was still a kid for Christ sake but that's his fault and forever will be. Sokka who was staring back at the temple and was in in the zone, thinking who those people were. What did humanity do to make the spirits enraged, if they sent angels to judge, they would be aiming at the Fire Nation, not the Avatar.
'Those were people and that wasn't bending at all. Could they be the one with the ships when we were attacked by the Fire Nation' Sokka thought, it wasn't even raw power, not even close so it's got to be manmade or machinery. But where they the people that came out of nowhere when Zuko came? If so, he had no idea what they want nor their role in this world.
Southeast Waters
In the wide blue see, we see an armada holding the banner of the Nation of the Rising Sun sail the waters to Whale Tale Island. Apparently, this Imperial Fleet we're under command of Shogunate Member, Kenji Tenzai. As much the Hot-Headed general wanted to join the war and trample their enemies. Kenji needed to set up War Factories, Shipyards and Imperial Foundations for the colonization with the help of their new state-governor, Shinzo and with help of the Shirada Clan when it comes to shipyards. So to extend his chain and improve the tactical advantage of the Imperial Army, Empress Kushina sent this year's newest and most genius tactical officer that graduated from the Imperial Military Academy of Japan, a prodigy.
That's not all. Like Naruto and Kenji, he is also very young! Too young to attain such rank in the army. Stood in a bridge of a Shogun-Class Battleship, meet newly appointed Imperial Commander Itsuka Tahashi, born from a simple family, he did his utmost to be the best and so he did as being the top of fire arms and a tactical genius. He had short length aqua-blue hair, he had shimmering emerald eye color and can always be mistaken for a girl due to his feminine face. He wore the typical Imperial Military Uniform with the indication the he is a Commander. With the nation unsealed, the nation needed every supply and brain to send if they desire a good result in this war.
It was normal as they continued their travel but Itsuka can't help it but feel nervous every now and then. Sure he had his own set of tactics and unique methodology, but back then, he never anticipated that he could be assigned to this role and he never controlled such number in his command, which are divisions of Imperial Ground Forces and a set of Naval ships, yet at times, he feel so honored and grateful for the Empress in giving him this position and gaining her trust. In exchange, he will do his best to complete his duty.
"Unidentified Fleet, this is Captain Oduro of the INS Colossian, please state your designation" The captain said through the comms.
"This is newly appointed Imperial Commander Tahashi in extension of the 3rd Fleet, I am to report to my superior commanding officer" Itsuka replied.
"Commander Tahashi. The prince has been eagerly expecting you, you are to report to him in his ship commander"
"Thank you, I'll be there in a moment. Eva, ready me a transport"
"Yes Commander" The Imperial EVA responded to her commander.
After a ride, Itsuka finally reached the tactical war room where Naruto and Naomi are currently speaking. Itsuka stood before the door entrance to the room.
'It's going to be fine. It's just the prince and the admiral right? NO! This is Prince Naruto, the soon coming living god of my country were talking about! Just show your loyalty for heaven's sake! Kami help me' Itsuka screamed in his head.
He is practically panicking right now, he was meeting two of the most important beings in the nation. A kind and caring yet ruthless Uzumaki and the gifted no-nonsense admiral, he was even surprise that why is he nervous and fidgeting right now, he is a young prodigy and tactical genius, steeling himself and gathering all the courage he had left, he knocked on the door.
"We are tracking an unconfirmed Avatar that appears to be an airbending boy and is headed straight north along with two other companions" Naomi said to Naruto currently discussing about the reports from scouts that encountered Aang.
"Until we can confirm that all Airbenders are dead, we can assume that boy is the Avatar but if we consider the South Pole incident, chances are good" Naruto countered.
"My scouts also confirmed reports of dead numbers in the Western Air Temple, perhaps the Northern Temple is their last resort"
Their conversation halted when they heard a knock from the door to the room.
"Come in" Naruto said, the door opened revealing Itsuka entering and instantly bowed when he saw the prince.
"You have called my lord" Itsuka said with a hint of nervous in his voice but hid it very well from the prince.
"Ah! Commander Tahashi, I've been expecting you" Naruto exclaimed startling Itsuka not anticipating such expression coming from the prince if on the field. He knew that Uzumaki's were soft sided but not in the army.
"Please, let's put aside the formalities. It's good to finally meet you face to face" Naruto said gesturing him to rise and went to him and extended his hand to the commander which Itsuka returned.
"It also a delight to see you Admiral, as well as you Admiral Shirada" Itsuka greeted.
"Likewise Commander, I've heard of you from her eminence" Naomi nodded and barely smiled at him.
"The Empress was pleased with my record in the military Admiral, for that I take pride in her recommendation"
"Well I'm still not seeing a young prodigy right now. I wonder do you have what it takes to handle a force with your hands" Naomi said bluntly. Not the she doubted the commanders skills but she never wanted anyone to be a burden in the chain of command, especially when it comes to the followers of the bushido code.
"I'll be sure to prove that I'm worthy of what I have inherited from the Empress" Itsuka assured.
"I see that Kenji entrusted you with Eva" Naruto said.
"He did, the A.I. is a big help for me in the course of command and information. She is a great asset to the Empire and I'm grateful for her early helps" Itsuka smiled. The Imperial EVA was given to his command since Kenji trusted the commander in his skill even though they barely talked with each other.
"Ah before I forget. Meet Suki Toyama, she'll be your information officer from now on, she will inform of you of our progress and keep you updated while on the field" Naruto gestured Suki who is currently in a video call.
"A pleasure to meet you Toyama-dono" Itsuka again greeted with a low bow.
"It is an honor to meet you Commander Tahashi" Suki also returned the gesture.
"Suki, please inform our new commander of our objectives" Naruto said.
"Commander, as you have known, The Whale Tail is an essential advantage to our expansion through war against the Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom. Capturing it will not only give benefit to our navy but it will also improve our territorial advance to the north. Our satellite image indicates that the Island is governed by one Fire Nation military base and a docking port with numerous outposts or camps scattered all over the island" Suki explained
"I see, what would you have me do admiral?" Itsuka asked Naruto. He knew that the prince was also a tactical genius and a cutting-edge fighter, not to mention he's next with the most important asset of their navy, Admiral Naomi Shirada. What more could he ask if he has such advantage?
"Commander, while Naomi and I are going to attack the Fire Nation stationed in Whale Tail Island and also claim the island itself. I want you and your forces to march towards Kyoshi Island" Naruto said.
This left Itsuka think for a moment. Looking back to the map and comparing to the old one, Kyoshi Island was once connected to the southern part of the supercontinent of the Earth Kingdom but after Planetary-Surface Scan, this certain land spitted from the mainland creating an island which now Kyoshi Island. Whale Tail and Kyoshi were close as neighbors but Whale Tail has more space and land to be used as military so why invade Kyoshi Island?
Then he realized something, looking back to history itself, he suppressed himself from widening his eyes in realization, the Avatar during the Great Emperor Yoshiro's rule was Kyoshi and she was the one who sealed them off. Perhaps this was an event of personal matters and revenge.
"Should I leave survivors?" Itsuka asked. Though he wasn't being reluctant, was the prince giving him an opportunity, Test, or a reward?
"Do not harm civilians, I leave you in command of the operation and the critical decisions to choose but I bid you to burn everything that resists especially anything that symbolizes Kyoshi or anything that would make me remember that demon that sealed our nation" Naruto said with hint of anger in his voice yet he held a blank face. It wasn't a surprise, after all, it's Kyoshi they were talking about.
"It shall be done Admiral. When shall I depart?" The humble tone was spoken from Itsuka.
"Now. Suki will brief you of the island as soon you arrive"
"Very well, if you excuse me, I'll take my leave" Itsuka said and Naruto nodded. Itsuka bowed then left the two admirals. Naruto smirked at this, he expect great things from the young commander and make a great name under his command. Naomi was hardly impressed at the boys antics, yes he did show utmost respect and hidden determination in him but It was normal nowadays in her opinion.
"I could sense that charisma in him. That boy has a broad destiny to fulfill" Naomi blankly said. True to her words, he still has a long way for him to gain the admirals expectations.
"Come on now Naomi. Don't be so cold to him, he might be new but he's good" Naruto sid back grinning wildly at the admiral
"That's what your mother said, not that I'm questioning the Empress's decision, just disturbed"
'Disturbed of what?' Naruto mentally asked the Admiral. Brushing off the topic, their fleet then steamed to Whale Tail Island.
Naginata Cruiser
Back with Itsuka, he stood in his office with a map zoomed to Kyoshi Island taken from a satellite surveillance. In his thoughts, the island is surprisingly small but not that really small and it had small villages with fishing ports and a massive beach to the south that is good for landing operations.
Suki just finished her explanation at his objectives, she showed locations of towns and ports around the island and also informed him of a possible enemy force since it held the sacred artifacts of the past Avatar and it was that Avatar's homeland. Was it just Itsuka or Suki is being TOO nice at his lordship but Itsuka decided to brush it off and excuse her that she's just following orders.
"I guess I have to put this the simple way" Itsuka sighed as Suki just nodded with a smile.
"Very well commander. May your first battle be victorious" Suki said before cutting off the video transmission with the commander. Again, he sighed.
He shifted his papers and read the detail of the forces in his command. He had about legions of infantry all in Sudden Transport right now along with 2 Shinobi's in his ship and 19 Tsunami tanks, so that means no air support at all since they will be all participating in the Whale Tail Island Operation.
He left Kenji's fleet with the prince's so until he receives his personal Imperial MCV from Pearl Harbor, he had only one Naginata cruiser which was his mobile headquarters for now but it will have to do since he will be dealing with villagers while The Prince and the Admiral will take on the most critical part of any Imperial Military or Naval operation which is establishing forward communication facilities and bases for reinforcements like Pearl Harbor and the Whale Tail Island is the best place to be.
Planning out his attack, he decided to call in the 2 shinobis in his command and will send them to the island to scout and if possible, soften their enemies before he could launch the landing operations. Finally, two people entered his office, long-raven haired girl wearing a formal looking top and skirt with red light armor and a browned-haired young man in white Jacket also with light-weighted and fast-pace armor.
"Greetings commander, I am Akame and this is my partner, Tatsumi" Akame greeted with respect and bowed to her commander as her partner also bowed. Itsuka felt temperature of the room grow cold, this woman in front of her was not to be played with. He could see the dark imitating aura behind by just looking in those crimson eyes and that cold voice of hers.
Akame, born from a noble family clan of assassins. She grew up in the wilds and survived their family's traditional and brutal training along with her partner whom she grew up close with. Tatsumi had no records in the Imperial Intelligence but there was an excuse of being classified like the princess's powers that must not be brought to public. Even with the clean and uncorrupted society, people tend to die for their crimes from assassins like Akame.
"I guess you'll be in my care"
"What is our mission?"Akame asked still with the blank look.
'Eager?' Itsuka thought surprised at the sudden question.
"I want you two to eliminate as many as resistance you encounter before our landing operation starts which is an hour by now" Itsuka and Tatsumi just nodded after his explanation and instantly swam to Kyoshi Island as soon the Naginata Cruiser was close to the coast.
Kyoshi Island
Kyoshi Island, land of the people of Avatar Kiyoshi and Kiyoshi herself located in the southern part of the Earth Kingdom. In the very center of the Island, there stood a statue of Kyoshi in honor of her doings in the world. This island is a well-known destination for traders and travellers for it is the birthplace of Avatar Kyoshi and the all-women armed organization, the Elite Kyoshi Warriors.
The people of the Nation of the Rising Sun undoubtedly despised this island for it once resided by the same Avatar that sealed their nation and it also enraged that they built shrines and statues in memory of that vile demon.
Standing by a cave that overlooks the village just near the coast, the two shinobi's perched high staring at the view, it is certainly a paradise. It was still minutes before the operation starts and they haven't made any progress of eliminating their foes.
"Let's go" Akame simply stated and Tatsumi nodded.
Soon, both jumped and sprinted in full speed passing through the forest. Unlike most shinobi's that uses multiple weapons and uses armor, Akame and Tatsumi personally set themselves lightly when it comes to equipment and relied to their inhumane speed with one blade only. While Akame uses a dark colored Beam Katana which is her family's heirloom, Tatsumi uses the typical ninjatu blade along with some shurikens.
Stopping in an open area surround by trees, both shinobi's halted when they sensed someone was following. Coming out of the tress, soon they were already surrounded by a group of women wearing green uniform with faces painted all armed with fans, round shields and katanas sheathed on their waists. Both immediately when to their guard watching each other's backs as two of these women charged with fans in both their hands.
Still standing ready as their enemies approach at point blank, Akame grabbed the wrist of her foe then threw her back to her comrades when she attempted to swung her fan and bind Akame's grip. Tatsumi evaded a slash from a warrior then powerfully landing a fist on his opponent's armor knocking back the warrior. Another one attempted to apprehend Tatsumi from his left but he simply sidestepped the attack then elbowed his opponent and smacks her to the ground. Tatsumi looked to his partner to see her unharmed and still in her defense stance glaring at their foes. All of them exhaustedly panted and back away a bit giving the duo some gap between them.
"Who are you!? Are you with the Fire Nation!?" One of them asked the duo. Akame remained silent coldly gazing at the warriors gesturing Tatsumi to speak.
"No we are not" Tatsumi coldly said.
"What are you intentions here?"
"To burn this forsaken Island" Tatsumi threatened. The Kyoshi Warriors flinched at the threat coming from the brown haired assassin. Recognizing them as a threat, they brought out their own blades.
"Leave peacefully and we won't harm you" One of them demanded. The duo then narrowed their eyes when they noticed their swords. It was a curved single-edge crafted blade. It was a Katana!
"Those blades…where did they come from?" Akame deciding to break her silence asked them. The Kyoshi Warriors shivered when they heard her icy voice.
"These are sacred katana's crafted by the Avatar Kyoshi" Suki stated which angered the two assassins.
"Wrong! These blades were born from our Nation, the same nation that your Avatar sealed. Now she proclaims that she crafted these ones. You are following the footsteps of liar! You are demon followers!" Tatsumi stated with eyes full of anger.
How could they, they stole their land, their freedom and now they state that Kyoshi owns one of the most revered item his Nations people have crafted. Truly the outsiders were nothing but conquerors, liars and robbers, they all deserve punishment.
The Kyoshi Warriors were also angered at his words, he insulted the Avatar Kyoshi as a demon. There was never a brief explanation of where this swords originated from but they proclaim it's Kyoshi's works since it what they believe.
"How dare you insult Kyoshi!" One of the Warriors snapped.
"You are all not worthy wielding such tools" Akame spoke. Her words fueled the anger burning in the Kyoshi warriors. Half of them charged at the duo, Tatsumi and Akame just narrowed their eyes at them.
"Wait!" Suki yelled but it was too late as they were closing in fast with their weapons ready to strike.
Some lunged while some charged for the stab.
-SLASH-SLASH-SLASH-SLASH-SLASH-SLASH-
But before anyone knew it, they were slashed and decapitated before they can even land blow to the shinobi's. Akame standing parallel to her partner has her katana gripped ready to strike another one. Tatsumi also had his sword out and in reverse-gripped with his right hand. Waveforms of blood slashes blew out from the back of these Kyoshi warriors, revealing their injuries before falling into mutilated limbs and corpses.
Suki froze in her place and just stared in fear at the sight, she was too slow to see how they slashed her comrades. Witnessing her sister in arms spray into pieces and shower blood to the ground was terrifying, the sound of flesh and decapitated body parts crashing to the floor was more than enough shake her innocent core. She didn't even notice that her hands were shaking as the blade in her gripped is loosening.
Whoever this two were, they are not to be played with, the Fire Nation were ruthless and merciless but these two were more than them. Before she could say anything else, they started dashing towards her and started slaughter her comrades one by one, all died in a terrifying way and horrible death. No one can land a blow on them as they effortlessly dodge every of their slashes.
The one with red eyes and black hair then sprinted to Suki with her murderous gaze. Reacting barely fast enough, she raised her round-shaped shield and blocked an attack from her but was followed by a roundhouse back-kick knocking Suki back a couple of meters away. Recovering, Suki again block another speedy attack from Akame and countered attack with her own blade swung up high but wasn't able to scratch her as she dodged it. She then slash downward with two-hit combo but it wasn't still enough as again Akame dodged the first two strikes and deflected the last one. Suki dropped her shield and brought out a fan with her left hand attempting to overpower the speed of her opponent. Both swords collided as they performed a blade dance all over the area, dust were gathering and the sound of steel colliding each other flew in the air. Akame tried to stab Suki but her fan blocked it for her, using the momentum Suki attacked her and expected that the strike would land stunning blow against her opponent. But it never came, instead she felt a radiating and hot steel pierced through her chest, she looked down to see the Raven colored katana glow with bright color and it was freaking hot like lava as if she already felt one.
"How?" Suki asked shockingly before coughing out her own blood.
"You were too slow" Akame blankly said. For a moment, Suki awed at her killers eye, it crimson red and it held coldness and death itself like she was the goddess of death.
"I die an honorable death but you will not" Akame said still with the blank face towards Suki.
Suki widened her eyes but before she could ask, Akame removed the blade of her heart and kicked Suki to the ground. Dusting herself off, she turned to see Tatsumi finishing the last of them off. He took out what remained of them while she was dealing with their leader. Akame glanced back to lifeless body of Suki, she did have skills and her moves gracefully as hers but it wasn't enough to defeat her. Pitiful, she fight for what she believes and it is considered honorable in her view. Crouching down, Akame said.
"I take back what I said" Akame said with a slightly soft voice as she closed Suki's eyes.
"Area is clear" Tatsumi said then whipped off the blood from his sword as Akame also did the same thing. After cleaning off, the two stared back to the beach to see Tsunami tanks arriving and Transports unloading Imperial Warriors then marched towards their location.
"It seems the landing operation has begun" Akame said.
"I can see that"
Akame puffed her cheeks that Tatsumi noticed which shocked him greatly.
'Did she just slightly pout?!' Tatsumi mentally screamed. He didn't meant to do anything like that.
"I'll cook meat tonight" Tatsumi said instantly.
"Let's go" Akame just turned back and started sprinting to the village.
"Wait!" Tatsumi followed after.
Coast of Kyoshi Island
Itsuka is pleased to see the operation unfolding cleanly, his forces just land on-shore when an officer from the observation deck informed him of something odd from the horizon.
"Commander, five Fire Nation ships spotted northwest of our location, approximately 700 yards out and closing in" The officer in the observation deck reported to Itsuka. He grabbed binocular to see 5 Fire Nation ships steaming towards his location.
'I thought the Admiral and the prince handled the Fire Nation Navy in the south' He questioned mentally.
"Contact the ship"
"Commander, it's the Fire Nation, I suggest we should sink them"
"I know that captain, but I am trying to drive them off in the peaceful way since we have more personal matter things to attend to" Itsuka said and assured.
The captain nodded and gestured the communication officer to do it.
"Unidentified vessel in the vicinity, you are entering Imperial waters, request you to establish communication with our ship over"
"…" No respond.
"Eva, can you get in to their systems"
"Negative Commander. Inspection indicates ships possess no radio or any type of communication modules. Vessel is considered primeval" Eva said.
Itsuka again was shocked at the information. Of course, he wasn't informed of this, all he knew was to fight the Fire Nation no matter who they were and what they were.
"That's odd. Tsunami Redgear Division, this is your commander, take command of the attack and proceed with the mission"
"It will be done my Lord. Redgear out" The Tank commander said before going off.
"Commander! Unknown inbound in the horizon, 12 heading towards us approximately at 10 meters per second!"
"Intercept with guided missiles"
"We cannot get a lock-on commander"
"What?!"
"Attempting deep-scan surveillance…Thermal scans shows massive heat-signatures within the projectile"
"Boulders? Adjust the missiles from guided systems to Heat-seekers and use Thermal lock-on"
"Yes commander!"
"Engines back full. Target only those that are going to hit us"
The Naginata Cruiser engines purred loud as the ship reversely accelerated through the thick waters evading the fire boulders heading towards the ship. The boulders landed and splashed as they hit the waters missing the ship, four boulders was about to hit the silver painted ship until four missiles ascended from the ships rear and collided with the boulders then into pieces of dirt and molten rocks airborne. Small flaming rocks showered over the Naginata cruiser leaving burn marks and scratches.
"Report" Itsuka asked fixing himself.
"Targets destroyed, all green and clear commander" One of the officers reported.
"Status of those ships Eva"
"Vessels are in wedge formation from front center, 349 yards out from position"
'There in wedge formation and are in perfect positions for our Hidden tubes vector' Itsuka thought. Was it coincidence or is the Fire Nation unaware of the Nightmare they have set loose. Computing the math, it was a perfect opportunity to use the ships special attack.
"Fill all tubes to Type-S Torpedoes and initiate Type-S assault"
"Tubes are loaded my lord"
"Fire in the name of the Emperor!"
Then five torpedoes sped off from the Itsuka's ship in a fan-arc formation. The five torpedoes formation were extending their gaps as they were about to hit their respective targets. Soon explosions erupted from below the Fire Nation ship's hull and started to descend to the bottom of the sea.
"All vessels destroyed"
"Regear Leader do you copy?"
"This is Redgear Leader, copy that commander"
"I want a status of the operation"
"Going smoothly commander, the two shinobis you have sent annihilated the resistance"
"I see, anymore?"
"How shall we proceed with the local's commander"
"Harm no villager captain, the prince wishes the least result of bloodshed in this war. Your objective is to bring down statues of Kyoshi and burn her followers, child or elder. Leave no trace behind that she will forever be forgotten"
"Yes commander"
Soon, Itsuka's Imperial Army conquered all the villages in the island. Houses were being torn down, statues of Kyoshi were crashed to the ground and villagers have evacuated with their fishing boats. They left the Island with trees and houses on fire, the Imperial Army left no trace of Kyoshi as they brought down her shrines and burnt every piece of article of her history. Of course, some of the people who stayed behind and fanatical to Kyoshi argued and tried to reclaim some of her belongings but were mercilessly killed with relentless gunfire while the captured one were executed with a quick death, it was their fault and they should have expected such things. They even discovered an underground system in the island that lead to a vault where the rest of Kyoshi's belonging are located, the ones who went there chuckled amusingly at the sight, it was paintings, books and a family picture, it was a pleasant view now nothing but ashes as they also blazed everything and blown up the cave system.
Whale Tail Island
Meanwhile 10km off the Coast of Whale Tail Island. Naruto overlooked the reports, close range images from Sun Burst Drones and satellite images of the Fire Nation governing in the island. The pictures showed large signs of Fire Nation activity within the village areas and forests, there's also a picture of a Fire Nation Naval Port with a few dry docks built in the southern coast of Whale Tail Island, the base wasn't that massive yet it wasn't that small and it had about 80 docked ships. Maybe their combined fleet was too much, Naruto started to regret his decision of taking Kenji's Fleet in his command instead of having the new commander take control and send them assist him in Kyoshi Island.
"If I am to lead the operation, I'll be straightforward having fun" Naomi said smirking at Naruto.
"Have no worries Admiral Shirada, you'll have your time to shine"
"As a citizen of Japan, I trust you my prince. As fleet admiral, you make sure of that young man" Naomi said. Naruto sweatdropped at her words. She really is impatient and too determined,
"Anyways,I have finished my plan of attack against the Fire Nation in the Island. But before I commenced my landing operations, I need your fleet to annihilate the ships docked in the base"
"Perhaps an Air Raid can be entertaining"
"Then I'll leave you command of the first attack"
"With pleasure, how about you?"
"After the shore is clear, I'll be leading my troops to capture the enemy secondary HQ just north of the port"
"Leading in the front eh my prince, don't get too cocky"
"I won't"
Hours have passed and just minutes away until dawn, the Fire Nation Naval Port and Outposts remained silent throughout the night, quietly roaming the darkness waiting for the sun to illuminate the land, meanwhile with Imperial Navy, the decks and waters were lively as Mecha Tengus and VX Strikers were being loaded with their own armaments and vertically take off and assume formation with their respective air squads or wingman. Fun fact, the Empire did build aircraft carriers and airfields even though all of their aircraft are VTOL except for Sunburst Fighters, it was for the sake of balanced armory so Mecha Bays and Warehouses won't be over-boarded with too much mechanized divisions.
Soon, the sun rose from the oceanic horizon and provided the light and air of dawn. Then just like that, all aircrafts sped off towards Whale Tail Island carrying the power to unleash hell on the sleeping Fire Nation.
Fire Nation Base
In the Fire Nation base overlooking the coast where the Fire Nation Port can be seen in the view, a soldier walked out of his tent ready to begin his duty for the day. It's peaceful as always, like any other day. The birds were singing, the rhythm of waves crashing along the sandy shore and the smell of dawn was in the air. However, the peace was broken when he started hearing buzzing sounds, he looked above the Naval base by the coast to see strange bird figures within the cloudy sky, the buzzing sounds started getting less-quieter as this strange birds was getting closer and closer towards his direction and did one thing he didn't really expect. These birds started throwing blue glowing projectiles to the ships and tents placed on the port then crashed along the Fire Nation Ships causing their ships to explode and sink or burn in despair afterwards. Men were scrambling around the port trying to save sailors or the survivors that jumped off from their ships, scrapping anything considered still useful and putting out fire.
"That's the last of them!" A Jet Tengu Pilot said as he observed the final flocks of Sun Burst Fighters crashes to their given targets causing the ones they crashed to erupt into flames.
The first strike were squadrons of Sun Burst Fighters, Sun Burst Fighters are both propelled and jet power airplanes armed with four Kinetic guns and a high-impact photon bomb giving them the role of a literal flying bombs or suicide aircrafts. They were used to lessen the Fire Nations defenses and shock them off to scramble as the second strike commences which are squads of VX Choppers and other such aircrafts in the Imperial Navy.
"All Final Squadrons hit their targets. Confirmed 56 enemy vessels destroyed, 32 beyond repair and 3 eventually damaged, Admiral" An officer informed his admiral. Naomi frowned from a certain word.
"What do you mean by eventually warrior?" Naomi asked glaring at the officer.
"Are still on the brink Admiral Shirada" The officer inquired as he suppressed a gulp.
"Leave no ship floating! Send in the rest of our air forces!" Naomi instantly said with voice unpleased with the result.
"Yes my lady!"
Just when the Fire Nation thought it was done since all this strange birds crashed themselves, then begun another series of gunshots and whistling sounds can be heard. Soon black metal and sword-shaped birds flew by with tremendous speed not after leaving a trail of holes and craters behind. The remaining ships that weren't destroyed by those strange birds fell victim to VX Rockets one by one.
Scrambling Firebenders would attempt to fight the passing metal birds but they were too fast for them to be hit instead and just before a firebender could get a good shot, he would be ripped into pieces as tiny blue slugs would melt through his armor and sliced his guts out. Non-bending soldiers were hopeless, all they could do is run, find cover and witness their comrades fall dead or die from relentless gunfire coming from this metal birds.
A mixture of VX Choppers, Jet Tengus and Skywings squads controlled the air and just mercilessly destroying anything in their path and trying to leave no survivor behind as they fired their weapons towards the helpless Fire Nation soldiers.
As the carnage continues in the port, smaller land crafts which were Sudden Transports aided with Tsunami tanks were spotted heading towards the beach, this crafts were loaded with Imperial Warriors, Tank Busters and Archer Maidens with Naruto in his Samurai Battle Armor and a MX Type-2 Kinetic Carbine in his hand fully loaded with superheated bullets. Leaving his fleet and MCV behind to deal the Fire Nation docked fleet, he decided to lead the charge against the enemy infantry and in attempt to capture their secondary base located just uphill.
"Listen up! I want first and second squad to secure the naval base along with the rest of our tank divisions. We had the elements of surprise but not anymore so expect organized resistance as soon as we land, third group and I shall march towards the enemy camp" He explained to his men who are all connected in one channel in their radio.
"This is our first ground battle, let us show this barbarians how real warriors fight!" Naruto said to his soldiers.
"Yes my lord!" Everyone said in unison inside their transport. With Battle-hardened spirits and the eagerness, they pushed aside their nervousness and all put up their determined faces. They were soldiers of the Empress, well-trained warrior that feared no death. Soon the large metal doors begun descending as the craft stopped by the shore, with all bravery and courage gathered.
"AH!" The Imperial Warriors were the first squads to run out in an organized formation while bringing out a mighty battle-cry some of them charged with rifles aimed while others brought out there blades for close combat. There were about a total 300 Imperial Warrior, a hundred tank busters and 50 Archers in the rear.
Naruto watched the army unload themselves from their crafts and organize with assigned groups to proceed with their objectives, witnessing thousand pounds of Amphibious Tsunami Tanks storm the beaches and VX Choppers would shake the ground as they land and transform to their Walker Counterparts.
Splitting into two groups combining with the other divisions, the first group charged to the west heading towards the burning Fire Nation Naval Port, while the second, Naruto's group charged ahead north heading towards the secondary base overlooking the shore.
Soon, the first group entered the base and first thing that happens were confused Fire Nation soldiers. Taking advantage of their confusion, Archers and Warriors fired their respective weapons at the enemy, killing a lot in a small amount of time. Bodies of holed and arrow-stabbed Fire Nation soldiers started to flood the area as the army continued their advance. They moved fast and smoothly annihilating any resistance they crossed with. Despite being their first battle, they stood calm and professionally fought with honor in the battlefield, they're brutal and specialized training finally paid off.
With Naruto, he and his forces moved through the forest with haste, they cautiously walked along the dirt path and kept their attention in their surrounds making sure that they were ready for anything, bender or non-bender.
"Calm down. Remember your training" Naruto said to himself.
