Hey there guys! How are you doing? Good I hope! So, here's another chapter to this story and I know it's been a while, but this story is not dead. It might take a while to update it, but it will be updated. With that out of the way, I hope you enough this. Bye!
Satele was not in a good mood, scratch that, she was pretty pissed. Let it be known that she adored Naruto, loved him to a point that she would be willing to sacrifice her own life for him. How source of anger right now is the one person she is glaring at,Oniye Namada. She had known this woman, meeting her once in the past. Initially, she was just another officer in Naruto's growing power base. However, it was when she had slept with Naruto that crossed the line.
"Calm down Satele." Naruto said with a sigh as Satele huffed, turning her face away from him. Namada smirked as she wrapped her arms around his right arm and gave a cocky smile to Satele.
"Come on darling, lets go have some more fun." Namada said seductively as Naruto sighed. She was doing this on purpose to get Satele riled up.
"Get away from him skank!" Satele shouted ass he grabbed Naruto's other arm, pulling him away from Namada, who chuckled at the desired reaction.
"My, aren't you a lady's man?" Namada questioned with a grin as she threw a glance at Jyn, who looked calm, but was going to explode.
"Enough." Naruto reprimanded both Satele and Namada. Satele blushed in embarrassment for losing her cool, while Namada merely shrugged. She had dealt with Vader himself in the past and that man was literally a black hole of the Dark Side.
"Now that all of you have settled down, I want status reports, now." Naruto ordered with authority as everyone stood in attention with Satele being the first to begin.
"I managed to retrieve the host of the Seven Tails, however, she was in critical condition after being attacked. As of now, she in recovering in the medical bay." She reported as Naruto nodded. This was good news as Jinchuriki.
"The prisoner was secured and evacuated off planet. There are signs of torture and malnourishment, but she will recover." Jyn stated, having carried out her task to the best of her abilities. Naruto thought about the prisoner. From the information he had on her, she had a powerful bloodline and a temper that could rival an Uzumaki. Her hatred for the Leaf burned as bright as his own. She would make a fine warrior if trained correctly.
"And as you already know, I have delivered the Super-Star Destroyer as you ordered. It wasn't that hard considering that the Emperor thought its existence was unknown by most." Namada stated with a slight smirk. It was so ease for an ISB agent to get their hands on top secret intelligence.
"Very good. In the coming few months we shall finally be ready to leave. For now, return to your posts. Dismissed." Naruto proclaimed as everyone nodded. Everyone san Naruto and Thrawn remained on the bridge of the Guardian.
"I sense you have something to say?" Naruto questioned his Grand Admiral, who merely looked on to the planet below being bombarded by the Fleet in orbit.
"Your Fleet grows in power and size almost every day. Already you have two Executors in your arsenal and a plethora of other types of vessels that can support the two Executors. However, there is once vessel type that you might find useful." Thrawn started as Naruto raised an eyebrow.
"And what type of ship do you have on your mind?" Naruto questioned Thrawn, who pulled out a holodisk before activating it, causing a hologram of an Imperial Warship to appear.
"This is an Interdictor Cruiser, a very powerful ship for it's type. It projects a gravity well that forces the safety measures of ships in hyperspace to activity, forcing the ships to be pulled out of hyperspace." Thrawn explained as Naruto nodded.
"You had two in the Seventh Fleet, but one was destroyed and the other you brought with you." Naruto said as Thrawn nodded.
"Yes, but they work best when in pairs. That is why I suggest you attack the ship yards belonging to Sienar Fleet Systems. According to the last reports I received, a total of four more were being produced in the Kuat Shipyards." Thrawn explained as Naruto raised an eyebrow at that.
"Why Kuat Shipyards? Don't Sienar Fleet Systems have their own shipyards?" Naruto questioned as Thrawn nodded.
"They do, but Kuat shipyards are far more developed and vast. The two have an agreement of sorts. Kuat was given technological data and vast amounts of credits so that Sienar could use their vast shipyards across the Empire. The interdictors are one of the most powerful vessels within the Empire whose potential is underestimated by the many Captains and Admirals who prefer to use brut force of the Star Destroyers." Thrawn stated, holding a very high opinion of the Interdictor Class of Cruisers. Their strength didn't rest in it's firepower, but rather the gravity well's that it held.
"I see…Very well. Form a Fleet from any of the ships we have and capture these Interdictors." Naruto ordered as Thrawn bowed slightly, thanking the young Sith for taking his advice. Given that he was an alien, many in the Imperial leadership despised him and it wasn't a surprise to the Grand Admiral given the Empire's anti-alien stance. He was one of the few exceptions as the Emperor say much potential in him.
"Then I shall depart as soon as possible." Thrawn responded as Naruto turned and began to leave, he had other business to attend to.
In the Medical Bay a few minutes alter:
Kurotsuchi looked on at the world below as green lights descended upon it, casing massive explosions. She didn't know where she was, but it was not on the world below. She had remembered how she was captured by the Leaf and was imprisoned for who knows how long. She held out hope that her Grandfather would save her, that her village would save her. Help did come, and she was set free, but not at by her village.
"I see that you are doing well." She heard as the doors opened. Turning around, she saw red as rage began to build up inside of her. There stood the man, the leader of the Leaf, the Forth Hokage! She was going to attack but failed miserably as she felt a dark and oppressive aura surround her.
"Do not compare me to that man." Naruto stated as he slowly walked up to her, calming down slightly.
"W-Who are you?" She questioned him as Naruto finally relaxed.
"My name is Naruto, the former son of the Fourth." Naruto responded as Kurotsuchi eyes widened. He was the spawn of the man who murdered her mother and countless others?
"Former?" She questioned as Naruto smirked.
"Well, I killed him, but not just him. I killed his wife, his son, and his son's soon-to-be wife. I destroyed the Leaf and the rest of the elemental nations. None will survive once I am done with this world." Naruto answered as Kurotsuchi eyes widened. Then Iwa was…
"W-Why? Why would you destroy the whole of the Elemental Nations?" She questioned him as Naruto turned to look outside the viewport of the medical bay.
"Simply because I can." He response was simple and brutal that it left her in shock. To destroy a whole world, to commit genocide simply because he can?
"B-But my family…" She started but Naruto started to chuckle.
"Have betrayed you." He stated. Kurotsuchi started to tremble at this point. They…betrayed her?
"Your beloved village didn't give a damn when you were captured, and your grandfather refused to meet a simple demand that the Leaf had in-order to set you free. His hatred for the Leaf was greater than his love for you. So you see, your family betrayed you in the end. You were but a tool for them, another ninja in the cog, another expendable for their own agenda." Naruto explained as Kurotsuchi fell down onto her knees, crying. She had done everything that her village had demanded of her and in the end they betrayed her? Naruto sight slightly. Her eyes had been opened to the treachery of her family. She had been living a lie, a lie which had come crashing down.
"W-What am I supposed to do now?! I have no purpose!" She shouted at him, tears falling down her cheeks. Her purpose was to defend her village, to avenge her mother. To destroy the leaf. With her village and family's betrayal, and the Leaf already destroyed, what was her purpose. Naruto kneeled down to her level and raised her head up by her chin.
"Your purpose is something you determine, not what other's demand of you. I would like you to join my cause, to see a whole new world and gain power like none other. I extend you this offer, for you to create your own destiny." Naruto offered, offering her a hand as she thought over the offer. She had nothing, but he was offering her the ability to create her own destiny, free from the demands of others other them him.
"I…I'll join your cause." She responded as Naruto smiled as she grabbed his hand, allowing him to pull her up.
"Very good. I shall have someone show you to your quarters and your training shall begin soon." He stated, causing her to be a bit surprised.
"Training?" She questioned as Naruto nodded.
"You are to be one of the leaders of my future Empire. As such, you will be trained by me personally." Naruto answered as Kurotsuchi nodded slowly. It was then she finally took notice of another female within a large tank of sort. She had green hair and had a breathing mask to supply her oxygen in the fluid filled tank.
"Who's…that?" She questioned him, pointing to the green haired female. Naruto turned to look at the female in the bacta tank.
"Her name is Fuu, the other person who was saved by my subordinates. She was attacked by a group and was in critical condition before she was saved." Naruto explained as Kurotsuchi nodded before Naruto called for someone to lead her to her quarters. Things were about to change for her, in a big way.
Four Years Later:
Four years have passed since the destruction of Naruto's home world and four years since the destruction of the first Death Star at the hands of the Rebel Alliance thanks to information that Naruto leaked over time. For four years he worked in secret, hiding away his military power within the unknown regions while serving the Empire, but that was all to change today. The Empire would die today, and he would have been the one who engineered its demise from the destruction of the first Death Star.
"Engage evasive maneuver!" Admiral Piett ordered from the bridge of the Super-Star Destroyer Executor, Vader's personal flagship. He slightly smirked in confidence. Did these rebels really think that the second Death Star would be undefended? Bah! With one swift attack, the rebel forces would be crushed and he, on-board one of the strongest warships, would be called a hero! However, in his moment of confidence, the bridge shook violently.
"Sir, we've lost our bridge deflector shield!" One of the bridge Officer reported as Piett frowned. Why were the bridge deflectors built outside of the bridge on top of it exposed? He had no idea.
"Intensify the forward batteries. I don't want anything to get through." Piett ordered before he turned to looked outside the bridge and saw a few rebel star fighters approaching the bridge rapidly.
"Intensify forward firepower!" Piett yelled in urgency. The batteries were able to destroy most of the fighters, expect for a single A-Wing and it was going straight for the bridge.
"Too late!" Gherant shouted as he and Piet dived to avoid the incoming A-Wing which rammed into the bridge, killing most of the bridge crew. However, the controls of the ship were now left to the sub-bridges, which could not handle the sudden lose of the main bridge which was conducting evasive maneuver. As such, the vessel was left to crash straight into the Death Stars surface as the battle raged on above Endor. However, far away from the battle, a cloaked vessel observed the battle.
"Shit. Naruto won't like this." A mint green haired female cursed as she watched the destruction of Vader's flag ship. It was supposed to be taken over, but with the vessels constant movements and role in hunting down the rebels there wasn't much of a chance of taking it over. Now with it's destruction it would be impossible to take bring it into the fold.
"Get me in contact with Naruto." She ordered one of the bridge officers, who nodded before pressing a few buttons on his station, quickly establishing a connection.
"What is it, Fuu?" Naruto's hologram appeared before Fuu, wondering why she had contacted him so early.
"There is a problem…Vader's flag ship has been destroyed." Fuu reported as Naruto sighed before shaking his head.
"That is unfortunate, but what's done is done. Piett was a fool of an Admiral and I have no idea why my Master would put such a man in-charge of his flagship. You are to withdraw and rendezvous at the given coordinates." Naruto ordered as Fuu nodded before the transmission ended.
"You heard him, get us underway." She quickly ordered as the crew quickly went to work. The cloaking device deactivated, allowing the Super-Star Destroyer to become visible to the naked eye. This was the Super-Star Destroyer Terror and the only ship of it's class with a cloaking device.
"Hard to believe that I went from almost dying to commanding one of the mightiest warships…" Fuu thought. She had thought for sure that she was going to die that day when they came for the tailed beast inside of her, after all, they had mostly extracted it from her. She was saddened at the lose of her tailed beast as the two of them had become friends, but she did retain some of it's power. When the day she woke up, she was shocked at the events that had transpired during her short slumber. The world she had grown up was destroyed, by the man now she served.
"Not like I cared about it anyways." She thought. She was hated and in the end betrayed by her village. She held no love for her home world and felt nothing when Naruto had ordered the planet to be destroyed. Nothing had survived the large scale orbital bombardments that last for two full days to ensure total and complete destruction of everything and anything on the ground.
Lwhekk, hours later:
Lwhekk is a planet located within the Ss'kaat system within the remote Ssi-ruuk Star Cluster beyond the known galaxy with a rather primitive species inhabiting the planet within the system that had carved out a small Empire in the system, an Empire that was swiftly destroyed once Naruto's forces had chosen the system as a staging point to leaving the galaxy and with the Star Forge becoming operational two years ago, it was the perfect place to build large Droid Fleets away from the known galaxy.
"The ten Droid Fleets combine to make a total of 20,000 vessels. Meanwhile, four Fleets comprising of Imperial, Republic, and other designs number in roughly 5,000, with almost a thousand Capital warships and many other support vessels." Thrawn read the reports. As the Grand Admiral, it was his job to ensure that everything was running smoothly and effectively. Most of the Naruto's forces comprised of Droids, which numbered in the billions thanks to the Star Forge.
The massive Clone army was also starting to climb rapidly thanks to mobile cloning facilities that were created for the Kaminoans. These mobile cloning facilities were massive, as large as an Executor and production of the Clones rose every day. They had exactly four of such faculties that were able to produce almost five million Clones in about six months. Such a mass production of Clones would have led to the Clones dying and aging faster, however, the aging prosses was perfected, allowing a Clone age normally once it reached the age of 20. Ysalamir's were also used in-order to negate the effects of the force on Clones during the Spaarti Cloning process.
"A perfect army that can be created within a year." Thrawn muttered to himself. These Clones were far more capably, intelligent, and strong compared to conscripted units from the Empire. Furthermore, their unit cohesion was remarkable.
"Grand Admiral." Thrawn was broken out of his thoughts as he looked up to the voice that called out to him. The voice belonged to a female, clad in battle armor and a cap to conceal it. The hood of the cap covered the features of her head.
"High Inquisitor." Thrawn responded in response, wondering why the High Inquisitor from the Inquisition would come to him.
"The time has come. The Emperor is expecting you." The High Inquisitor stated as Thrawn nodded. If the time to leave was now, then all high officials were to be told of in person. The only exception to this was if one of the high officials was in a battle or not available.
"I shall be there shortly." Thrawn stated as the High Inquisitor nodded before she vanished from his sight.
With Naruto:
Naruto observed the massive number of warships assembled before him. Per his orders, the biological crew was to be put into cryostasis pods to ensure that they would spend most of the time during the journey through the dark space sleeping, preventing aging and ensuring their survival. Droids did not need sleep, only energy to operate.
"So, it's finally time." He heard Satele comment as Naruto nodded, looking on at the vast expanse of space. This would be the last time he would see this galaxy.
"That it is." Jyn said as she stood next to Satele, who lightly glared at her.
"I didn't as you." Satele stated, but Jyn simply shrugged.
"But you didn't ask Naruto either." Jyn responded as Satele balled her right hand into a fist as Naruto chuckled at the twos banter.
"Four years and you two still fight. Good thing that the others aren't here yet." Naruto commented, but quickly regretted his words as he sensed their arrival.
"What do you mean we aren't here yet?" Namada questioned with a smirk as she walked in, followed closely by Fuu and Kurotsuchi.
"You know exactly what I mean you witch of a women." Naruto said with a blackface as Namada giggled, knowing full well that she drove him insane. Naruto shook his head before turning to Kurotsuchi.
"Have you informed Thrawn?" He questioned her as she nodded.
"He is on his way as we speak." She responded as Naruto turned his attention to Fuu, who wasn't pleased with how her mission went.
"So, Piett pretty much facilitated the destruction of the ship?" He questioned Fuu, who pouted at not being able to capture the prized vessel.
"His overconfidence caused him to lose his life and the ship." Fuu answered as Naruto sighed. Truly, Piett was a fool, even during the battle of Hoth he proved useless.
"Still, it's a shame we weren't able to capture that vessel. Regardless, we must move forward. The plan is already in motion and it is time and it cannot be stopped." Naruto stated, just in time as Thrawn strolled onto the bridge.
"Glad you could make it Grand Admiral." Namada commented as Thrawn disregarded her comment, knowing full the games that Namada liked to play.
"I trust that everything is ready?" Thrawn questioned Naruto, who nodded.
"Yes. The pods are already set for us and the rest of our forces are merely waiting for us. The Star Forge's production has been halted along with the cloning facilities. All non-essential functions of the Fleets will cease as to conserve power. The Droids will take over most of the function until we reach the closest galaxy." Naruto responded as everyone was ready and prepared to venture out into the dark space.
"Outside of the Unknown Regions of the known galaxy, we would be the first to venture out into the dark space to reach other galaxies far away from our home galaxy. I am eager to see what species and races might exist." Thrawn commented, eager to learn more cultures and defeat new enemies.
"Yes, we all know your fetish with other cultures and balalal." Fuu said as she rolled her eyes, causing Thrawn to almost stumble at her outburst before heh coughed into his hand.
"At least I don't keep the entire crew away from all the noise from yours and our resident Sith lords quarters." Thrawn countered as Fuu chuckled nervously while Naruto blushed before he regained his composure.
"Enough you two. We have pods to attend to." Naruto stated as he quickly left the bridge, not wanting to get embarrassed any further then Thrawn had already done.
"And I agree with him." Kurotsuchi stated. She did not want to be embarrassed like Fuu and Naruto had been. Namada merely chuckled before she followed the group out with Thrawn following behind her. Let it be known that the women in Naruto's little group were insufferable. The only two that remained on the bridge were Satele and Jyn.
"Hard to believe it started with just the two of us." Jyn said as Satele nodded. In the beginning, she didn't like Jyn, mainly because of affections for Naruto. However over the years she had come to accept that she would have to share.
"I barely tolerate sharing him with you, but with three more in the group? I feel like I am going to kill somebody." Satele said with a low growl as Jyn chuckled slightly.
"Well, I guess you're going to have to live with it. Naruto's a very…charismatic man. I am sure there are more who are going to fall for him." Jyn stated as Satele's eyes widened before she narrowed them.
"It'll be a cold day in hell before I allow some fangirls to get close to him." Satele responded as Jyn burst out laughing as she walked out the bridge.
"Relax. I'm sure that Naruto's heart is big enough for all of us." Jyn spoke as she left the bridge, leaving Satele alone, who was thinking over what Jyn had said. Her biggest fear when it came to Naruto was him forgetting about her. He was her savior, her guide, her friend, and the person who would forever hold her heart. She feared that if she let others close to him he would forget about her, but there had never been a moment where Naruto had forgotten her. He was always there for her.
"I guess…maybe it would be fine." She thought as she let a small smile grace her fine. She supposed that her fears would be unfound. With everything settled, she began to leave the bridge. She wondered what awaited them across the dark space.
So? Good? Bad? Leave a review or a like! Also, I know that the Fleets are bloody massive, but then again, I am using mostly Legends material and you know how insane the Legends part of Star Wars is. The Droid Fleets mostly comprised of cheap, mass produced vessels, like Droid Frigates with some powerful warships in the mix. Plus, with he Star Forge, it's not that hard to pump out Fleets at such a rate. With all that out of the way, I hope you enjoyed this chapter, also, this wasn't beta'ed! Bye!
