Disclaimer: No I don't own Naruto: The Fox Ninja (that' what the kanji under his name means folks), Battlestar Galactia: 2003 Remake (trust me, if I did, Starbuck wouldn't be a cussing up a storm in every episode and would still be a guy who smokes lightly, drinks lightly, womanizes lightly, and kicks Cylon butt with a sledgehammer and still crash vipers reguraly), or any other anime or movie or what not I choose to use to make my story a whole lot better!
Battlestar Ninja!
Chapter Two: "Reviews and Plans!"
Presidential Residence
City Center Sector-001
Day 10 since the Lecture
9:25 am
December 4th, Year 25 of Peace Era
The President of Technologia listened to what the Kazekage Gaara had to say on the matter of Janice Allison. It was decided by Naruto that the girl would have similar abilities, but for the most part, was not a true clone of Leaf Ninja Tenten. It was his opinion that she was probably meant to revitalize the Technologian military, but the project seemed to be initiated by an underground sect, known as the Masters of Technologia. President Rhine rubbed his eyes with annoyed look.
"Them again, when will they learn?" Gaara knew the question to be rhetorical and did not answer.
"At least she's safe, for now," the President added.
"Define safe when my sister, Temari no Kaze, and Uzumaki Naruto, Konoha's Number One Unpredictable, Knuckleheaded Ninja and Last of the Kazama-Uzumaki Clan is around," Gaara no Sabuka stated flatly, causing the President to wince.
"So I'm most likely to have more little nieces and nephews, correct," the statement came from former President Donald Allison.
"With training, she could be considered a twin to Tenten, but not an actual copy," Gaara stated as he looked over Naruto's report.
"And the others?" asked the current President.
"Same, as Naruto observed them first with some ANBU Black Ops," Gaara's voice was once more straight and flat not showing anything new until, "Hm… The skills of the originals are manifesting quite well, but in every case, believed to be less then actual quality. Naruto believes that a mass production plan was probably in the works."
The two other men winced. That was very bad news indeed, especially with the war with the Cylons about to begin. Well, a theoretical war anyways. It was still probable that there would be no war, but no one was willing to take that chance. It would be disastrous to think that the war between the Twelve Colonies of Korbol and the Cylon Empire, as the documents listed the combatants, would ignore and past by them.
"How is the reverse engineering coming?" Gaara asked.
"Truth, as you know, we've had five years to come to understand the technology and learn all we could before approaching everyone about the issue," the Former President said.
"We have an idea for the weapons and we're hoping the concept applies to space warfare, but we intend to ask the Skye Empire for assistance in developing space combat capable Chakra Cannons, much like the ones on their newest class, the Resolute-Class Battleship," the Current President said and Gaara nodded, it would be easier to attack the enemy with Chakra as the post battle reports indicate that only a few can actually meet and defeat the Cylons in equal combat without Chakra.
"And how will the ships be built and by whom," Gaara's voice had taken on his charactistical creepy edge at the thought of a new battlefield that would be a true challenge to the container of the Shukaku-no-Tanuki, causing the other two men in the room to squirm lightly until a paper fan smacked Gaara on the back of the head!
"How many times do I need to tell you to remain calm and relax!" yelled an irate aqua haired Suna Kunoichi with aqua colored eyes.
"S-sorry Tsunami-hime-chan!" Gaara choked out and wondered how she manages to show up every time he does his creepy voice thing that makes him sound like he used to be before he met Naruto of the Leaf.
Yuuhi Tsunami was a Chuunin of Kirikure no Sato and an expert swords master at the age of eighteen. Originally she was not of the village or even the Shinobi Continent. She had been kidnapped and used by a still unknown group to contain and house the Three Tailed Dolphin, Sanbi-no-Iruka. She then developed into an incredible swordswoman under the Sandaime Mizukage who found and rescued the girl when she was two. He swore to protect the girl as if she were his own daughter and did so until his disappearance.
Even Akatsuki knew better than to tangle with the Sandaime Mizukage, he was as skilled with a sword as the Sandaime Hokage was at Jutsu.
Her skills, and more importantly her figure, had caught the attention of the Yondaime Mizukage. The Mizukage had given her an ultimatum, be his personal assassin and mistress or he would turn her over to Akatsuki. She naturally refused and two members of Akatsuki began to pursue her, but Gaara and Naruto had ended that problem. The Sanbi container found herself under the protection of two highly skilled containers and the next day, there was actually an ad in the papers for two new members of Akatsuki, they were finding it that hard to recruit new S-Class Nins into their organization.
Yuuhi Tsunami was actually the daughter of a major political leader from the Soldier Continent. She actually had a twin sister named Chidori Kaname who was married to one of the most powerful soldiers around, the man they call the God of War, Sagura Sousuke. An Ace at Arm Slave combat, aerial combat, and veteran guerilla fighter and all round peace keeper of the mercenary band known as Mithril. If Sousuke was the God of War, then his wife was the Goddess of Peace, which was true, unless you made her mad. Can anyone say Mount Vesuvius?
Still, it was a good match for the eighteen year old Kazekage. The two were practically and literally opposites, but no one complained. It was good for the whole of Sunakure-no-Sato as trade exploded upwards and there were no complaints from the Land of Waves, the Land of Fire, Konoha, or even the Land of Wind's new daimyo, which Gaara and Suna supported whole heartily.
She was a whole lot better than her greedy and power hungry father had been. She too, had been a Shinobi of Suna, so Lady Kizuna no Kaze of the Land of Wind had the complete support of her ninja and the loyalty of the Samurai. Though she had somewhat stronger ties with Konoha, in the form of a certain blonde who was still somewhat of a loud mouth and had once more started to pull pranks.
When Gaara finished asking for forgiveness, much to the two Presidents amusement, but they wouldn't voice it they would continue. The Chidori family, are known to be quite passive at times, but wile them up and Mount Vesuvius would look like it only let out some hot air. At least they could get back to the discussion.
"As for land units, the newest Arm Slave model is the Military Model Nine and it will be produced for all mechanized and armor forces," Former President Allison said.
"As for the infantry, they're getting the new Landmate Power Armor Infantry units and personal power armor. We hope to also add Landmates to the world's special police detachments, such as Olympus is doing with their E.S.W.A.T units," President Rhine read off a report.
"Hmm… Ninja training and numbers will also be increased to assist in these matters and to reinforce the infantry and special operations units, giving us a well rounded assault and defensive force," Gaara noted.
"Though we expect the majority of fighting to be mechanized, we don't know the enemy's strength and weaknesses as all intelligence we have may very well be past do by at least fifty years," President Rhine said.
"That means the fighting could easily be different and there are always other enemies we don't know about or yet to encounter," Tsunami pointed out a glaring fact that nobody liked to think about, other enemies, aside from the Cylons.
"I hate this," President Rhine stated and got general nods.
"Why can't it be like the olds days when we were the bad guys," President Allison sighed, as did the other occupants.
"Life moves on and we need to move on as well," Gaara stated and they began to talk about the other issues. Though one addition fact, unrelated to the whole grand scheme of things at first glance, but when piled up, makes for a unique picture.
"What of Naruto and his female contacts?" President Rhine knew that Gaara was going to hate that line of questioning, but alas it had to be asked. The young eighteen year old had more women wanting him and was surprising connected to more than one country that he could easily be chosen to lead as the political head of a global monarchy.
"His connections are all legitimate, unfortunately that means Temari and Janice could easily marry him with all the others who are throwing themselves at his feet," Gaara hated the fact of Naruto's true heritage and even the said adult gripped daily about it.
"Heir to the throne of the Dragon Skye Empire and engaged to no less than thirty girls and slightly older women of said nation, and engaged to the daughters of several Shinobi nations Daimyos, as well to no less than six Lady Daimyos, the Nanadaime Tsuchikage's daughter, the Godaime Mizukage's younger twin sister Mei, the Rokudaime Raikage's niece, your sister Lord Yondaime Kazekage, and that's only for starters as he is also somehow engaged to all five princess' and fifteen various Ladies and young women from the Crystal Island, several tribe chieftains' daughters from the Wildlands, and that's just touching off everything," President Allison stated with a sigh.
Every man's dream and the reality is… that it's a nightmare.
"Hinata and Hanabi of the Hyuuga, as well as several more Hyuuga girls and young women. How, even Lord Hiashi, the Clan Head and the Clan Council doesn't know. Ino of the Yamanaka Family, two surprisingly slender Akimichi, a Nara girl, and several recently found Uchiha girls and one young Uchiha woman, and a solid dozen other girls from Konoha as well as two ex-Ota nins, Tsugi Kin and Tayuya, formerly of the Sound Four and more than girls from several unaligned ninja clans," there was a wince throughout the room, "And all you can do is feel sorry for him," and Tsunami was, because his most recent additions happened to include seven girls and four young women from a sect that had always worshipped the Kyuubi-no-Yoko.
"Speaking of the Throne of the Skye Empire, lets not forget that he is also engaged to Land of Fire's Lord's two daughters and also Heir of the Land of Fire and with Kyuubi inside of him, he is also Heir of the Seal of Fire which is guarded with-in the Fox Demon Lands and that makes him the Lord of those lands by default," President Rhine stated as he read on.
"Sixteen other nations, of which five are major powers, are also his by rights of his birth, and then there are the tribes that claim that he is their new chief, which Gaara here has confirmed, and still many others lands are his by Divine Right or something like that, because of who is families are," President Allison shook his head, "Poor kid."
Poor was right, if one was to add together all the land that Naruto would more or less become the leader of, it would cover a shocking forty-seven percent of the entire planet!
Naruto though, just wanted to have a nice wife, a simple home, and be the best Kage ever born!
Looks like Fate is still dealing him bad hands at cards, because the hell he went through before was a dress rehearsal for hell itself, almost literally!
Hell
Satan sat grumbling, having lost a bet with the Shinigami and Kami. The reason one might asked? Childishly Simple!
Hell froze over several times, thawed, sprouted pink flowers with green grass, and pink fuzzy rabbits and he was in a pink tutu resting after being put through a hell far worst than even he could come up with, being the female lead in a ballet recital! Then his greatest nightmare came walking over to tell it was time to start practicing again.
His screams of terror went unheard as Uzumaki Sakura, mother of Kazama Naruto, pulled him by his ear to the practice stage.
It would seem that the men of the Kazama Clan had always liked women named Sakura. He had made a bet that Haruno Sakura would give up and marry Naruto after he finally wore her down like all Kazama men did in the past. Unfortunately for him, he married Nara Shikamaru's twin sister, who was surprisingly quite as energetic as Naruto. That had been something else he had made a bet on long ago.
That no Nara would ever be a bundle of energy equal to a blonde haired knuckleheaded, but surprising ninja during the Sandime Hokage's time.
Should have looked into a crystal ball before he made that bet.
Too bad for him.
President Residence
After talking about and feeling sorry for Naruto, the group continued on with the explanation of the plans that were to be made. They would be at it for hours, when word came about the decisions of the hold outs. The answer was short and to the point and the messages were complied into one single message on one single piece of paper with two words on it…
"We're in."
Somewhere in Space
A running battle was going between several ships of roughly identical design principles and appearing to be some type of carrier type with one as an apparent flagship. With them were an appropriate number of escorts and heavy hitter ships fighting off an enemy force of around twenty carrier types with even more escorts, but no heavy hitters. With the first, badly outnumbered force were no less than a hundred and thirty unarmed civilian ships shielded by twenty armed merchant ships and ten military freighters and five more Q-Type ships.
The fighters of the two sides' right smack between them and among them, with the blue and white fighters losing to the grayish-blue hulled fighters. The battle is looking bad for the survivors of a destroyed civilization. One pilot is especially feeling that as he had found the Igloo of the enemy fighters.
"Somebody, anybody, HELP!" the pilot screams into his radio as the fighter pursuing gains a target lock, but the position is wrong and waits to fire.
"It's got a lock! Help!" the pilot begins to make mistakes as the pursuer waits patiently.
"Lords of Korbol! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!" the fatal mistake, but red lances of light shoot over the canopy of the doomed fighter, forcing his tail into bone turning to dust maneuvers as a new orange and black fighter appears with a red multi tailed beast painted along the length of the hull.
The two fighters begin to dance a deadly game of chicken, but it is one that the Cylon Raider finds that it cannot win as the new fighter is faster and more maneuverable than a Viper Mark Seven.
As is proven when the Raider gets on the tail and fires a stream of deadly rail rounds at the new comer only to see the wings swing back against the hull making the target smaller and rolls and power dives trough a Split-S, then pulling a reverse Immermann and firing twin lances of crimson light right into its tail.
With the obvious death about to occur, the Raider's AI self awareness system realizes one addition thing: That this one death is permanent.
Quickly, an alert notice goes out to be wary of the new fighter and NOT to be shot down.
Then the Raider explodes and Cylon Raider Omega 3-32-49-C; ceases to exist.
The shock of a Cylon actually being killed stuns the entire Cylon Empire across its newly acquired territories, as well as its old ones. A Cylon, slain in battle never to live again, it was simply not possible, but the facts were there. So was the image of the new fighter that simply was not characterized at all in Colonial fighters.
On every battlefield, the delay from the shock was costly as every survivor of the Colonial Military that was still fighting made the Cylons pay dearly, including two suicidal ramming and subsequent destruction of two Resurrection Ships.
That broke them out of their collective stupor. Or it was that Pegasus escaped, again. Or it might have been that Battlestar Group 13, The Lucky Thirteenth Fleet, and Battlestar Group 52 had joined up and fielded some Battlestars that they had managed to salvage and repair with large numbers of fighters and other warships. Or it was perhaps that Battlestar Group 92 liberated yet another Human Farm, again. Or it was probably because more of those new fighters appeared, centered around a lone Battlestar, a Battlestar designated and named BS-8 Scopia, and that it wasn't exactly alone might have something to do with it. Or it might have been that one particular offending comment from Starbuck when Galactia escaped, again. It had to be that last one; yeah it was that last one.
