Celestia looked at the sleeping face of Naruto, he was sleeping while clutching her hand like a life line making her give him a small smile filled with love yet sadness within it, a small beep announced to her that the team she had send for scouting had returned back with information she sighed if she left she would wake the child up and it pained her heart to do so as such with a sigh she closed her eyes as a copy of her split from herself as it gave a nod to the one sitting by Naruto as she left.
"Report.", she barked out the order as her subordinates began their report with each passing minute she felt as if her anger was rising by the minute.
"So let me get this straight, his parents and family are alive but have abandoned him as he has only the soul piece of the beast as such they made a good decoy and took the children that they have who had the energy of the beast.", she looked at her subordinates who had a stoic look on her face before she spoke with a sigh, "Idiots they are unfit to be parents, I doubt that those children are in perfectly good health."
The person in question shook his head as he spoke, "No ma'am from our studies it shoes that your young charge are blessed with naturally long life easily reaching to a over a 150 years but because of the energy beings store inside them their life expectancy is already halved and if they use it many more problems will arise including shortening of their life span drastically."
Celestia frowned in deep thought as she spoke, "So my theory is correct, they have substituted the concrete with mud wall of the dam and now they will suffer, worthless idiots."
She then turned her attention towards another subordinate of her who stood straighter as she began to speak, "The village is now at red alert since you rescued your young charge, they are searching for their 'weapon', yes my lady that is what he is being referred to by the upstanding and morally high citizens who are blaming him for their mess now."
"I understand that you feel the need to be sarcastic but please be professional."
The scout bowed at her as she began speaking again, "The people are trying to grab power and one of them made his move by discrediting and blaming one of their allied clan while the others like hungry pack of wolves jumped on him not only that he also managed to undermine their weak leaders weak hold even further but not only that he was the one responsible for bringing in the person who was the spy for another and also the person who instigated the mob."
Celestia frowned at that as she spoke, "What kind of idiot is he?"
The scout sighed as she placed a diary as she spoke with a tired sigh, "Well ma'am he is a villain who writes a diary and I copied the said diary, it is full of his plans of world domination, he is one of the biggest hypocrites I have ever seen always harping about soldiers should lack emotion yet he himself is full of such, his plans are always short sighted he had hoped that the child would access the beast power and cause a ruckus and he swoop in and claim the weapon as his and then he would go on and conquer the world."
"I see …", before Celestia could speak again the scout interrupted her as she spoke, "Ma'am there is also something that I found."
Celestia looked at her as she raised her hand permitting her to continue as she began speaking with a nod, "Well Ma'am there is something I found out apparently his parents had been sending money and other items with the help of certain someone, well even then it was no use as the person would spend every single penny in whorehouse."
Celestia snorted at that as she spoke, "As I said earlier they are worthless scum calling them parents is insulting any parent in existence what kind of idiots blindly trust others with the life of an infant.", she sighed as she stood up from her chair while speaking, "Well you all have earned some rest you may return to your quarters along with your team, I will make an announcement the contents of which you may learn from your quarters, so now you are all dismissed."
The scouts saluted her as her subordinates left, Celestia then made her way to the bridge as she opened a ship wide announcement, except the room that currently occupied by Naruto.
"Our attentive citizens, we cannot express how disappointed we are, today we have brought a young child on board our flag ship, the child was heavily injured and was recently finished healing, then slipped out of the infirmary, a malnourished hungry child barely seven was roaming around our flagship where you all are equipped with this and that sensors yet no one was able to detect him."
Her announcement brought chill down everyone's spine, the Empress was known to reward people if they did something worthy at the same time punished heavily for their failure and it seems that they would be punished not to mention she had been in a very bad mood recently, a few of them went ramrod as a few shook like new born calf because of fear.
"He left the infirmary in block F and sneaked into the observation deck in block C, so can any of you explain to us how he….", with that she began berating her people for their folly.
Meanwhile another part of her was having an enlightened conversation with the Bijuu the ultimate being on this planet created from the Shinju by one of her relative, her conversation with the great beast was an enlightening one, after she had persuaded 'Kurama' with her fists, the beast began to answer her about everything.
Celestia closed her eyes before she turned towards a dark corner as she spoke with a kind smile, "Naruto there is no need to be afraid please step into the light."
A scared Naruto stepped into the light as Celestia hugged him lovingly as Naruto spoke with voice that was dead making her anger reach the zenith, "Why? Why would they do such a thing, the villagers always said bad things about them I did not believe them but now I do not know what to do.", he looked up towards Kurama as he spoke in a monotone, "Why did you hid it from me?"
Celestia gently patted him on his back as Kurama spoke, "Kit I hid it because I did not want the last light that held you together to be snuffed out, how I can say such a thing to the bravest, kindest and honest boy like you."
Celestia spoke with a gentle smile on her face, "So true Kurama is right they are neither suitable nor honorable enough to call themselves to be your parent, you are a precious angel that belongs with us your family not among the common rabbles like them."
Naruto looked at her as he spoke, "What would I do now?"
Kurama looked at him as he gave him a fanged grin, "What else would you do except live like you want to, you have been released from your prison no one is going to torment now so live and do whatever you want to."
Celestia gave a small nod as she spoke, "Naruto when I told you that you are my relative that was not wrong you are and if you want you can live with me from now one, you liked what you saw from the observation deck did you not."
Naruto nodded at that as she spoke, "Well why don't you come with me I will teach and show you much more wonderful things if you want to if not you may return back to your planet and this might be last time someone offers you such an opportunity."
Naruto closed his eyes before he took a decision a decision that would change the lives of not only him but of many others.
