The decent was less than smooth, but fortunately the plasma shield that surrounded the ship deflected most of the heat from reentry. That didn't mean that the deflected energy didn't affect the ship. Rocking wildly as it streaked across the sky.
Master Chief braced himself and started to curse under his breath; Cortana interrupted him and said, "You shouldn't curse in front of children."
He replied, "What are you talking about your hologram is like twenty-two and I know I'm not a kid. Who could hear me that's a kid?"
Cortana shot back "Check again, we're both 12, oh and you might want to brace for impact."
"Wha…" was all Chief could get out before the ship landed, leaving a rather impressive trench as well. He strained against his harness, eventually slipping out and crashing through the canopy of the cockpit. "Damn it, that hurt!!!" could be heard to all those around, who fortunately was only Cortana, at least for the moment.

"That was an interesting meteorite, it looked artificial, but I can't think of anything that could have life outside of our planet, better send some ANBU to scout it out." Sarutobi mused. Then he called out, "ANBU team 3, assemble." There was a small explosion followed by a large cloud of smoke. The Hokage choked out "I told you guys to stop using smoke bombs in my office." He ran to a window and opened it to let the smoke out.
"Sorry, sir won't happen again." The four cloaked ninja stated. Then one of them asked, "sir what would you like us do?"
Sarutobi replied, "The meteorite that flew by recently looked suspicious, I want you four to go and investigate. Do not engage with hostiles while observing the meteorite, this is merely a research mission. Do you under stand?"
"Sir, yes, sir," all four ANBU said as they jumped out of the recently opened window.
The Hokage thought to himself, "I wonder what they'll find, if nothing else the village could always use the money from selling it."

"Hey anyone down there," called out Naruto having just reached the edge of the trench. Then he saw the large spacecraft and shouted, "What the hell is that!?!"
"Shut up kid and stand back I'm going to move The Sword of Dusk, out of this hole." Master Chief called shouted at Naruto. He went up to the ship and tried to lift it would only budge a little. "Damn it, I forgot in this body I'm weaker." He muttered and shouted, "Cortana get out of the ship I want to see if we can get it out."
"Uh, Chief, we're twelve, granted you can probably still bench press a few tons, this ship weighs around seven tons I don't think we'll be able to move it with out some help." Cortana said while jumping out of the back seat of the cockpit.
"All right, Cortana. Hey kid do you live around here?" chief asked looking up at Naruto.
Naruto didn't respond though he was looking at Cortana thinking, "That girl, does she have some sort of bloodline limit? She's blue and what's with that odd clothing?"
Master Chief walked around to the side that Naruto was on and just got gapped at too. Master Chief had had enough of this and shouted, "Hey kid haven't you ever heard of a Spartan before?" he walked over to the wing that Cortana was sitting on and helped her get off he observed "That's odd I thought that you would look more human, you look like a twelve-year-old version of your hologram, still pretty cute though."
At that Cortana blushed a dark blue and hit him, granted the shields took most of the blow, but his helmet still left its imprint in the ground, she said, "quit hitting on me or I'll hit on you, literally, now that I'm solid."
Naruto had finally gotten over what she looked like and come down to see if he could help when he heard some rustling at the top of the trench, when he looked up there were four ANBU looking down at them one of them said "Get away from that de… Naruto we have reason to believe that those two people are hostile. From what we can tell they have a lot of strange weapons. We should probably leave and inform Hokage-sama."
"Yes we have quite a few guns, ammunition, rockets and rocket launchers, but we would never use such valuable resources on fellow humans, I'm saving it all for those bastard aliens called the covenant." Master Chief told the ANBU. He continued by asking "do you think you could get some more people or maybe a crane and forklift to move my ship to the nearest space port so I can get some repairs done? I'd be more than happy to pay for the parts and labor."
"You are saying that that thing that made this trench is a ship, it doesn't look like any ship I've seen, and what the hell is a space port. Oh well might as well bring you and it to Lord Hokage, it wouldn't due well if an enemy got a hold of you or your weapons." The leader of the ANBU stated while all four jumped into the trench and tried to pick up the ship but could barely budge it, one of the ANBU asked, "What is this thing made of it weighs a ton."
Cortana answered, "It weighs seven to be exact, and I'm surprised that the four of you can even budge it. Chief help them, with your added strength they should be able to carry it at least to the nearest settlement."
Master Chief walked over towards the ship while the ninja just looked at him and laughed, at least until he lifted the rest of the machine making it much easer for the ANBU. He smirked, of course no one saw it because of his helmet but he smirked all the same. Cortana said, "You would be ill advised to underestimate Master Chief; he's killed thousands of covenant, and that's no small feat."
The ANBU looked at what they thought was a twelve-year-old and were shocked they thought, "How could a child like him kill thousands of people it just took to much time to kill without being killed yourself?"

The Hokage was shocked when he saw the four ANBU carrying that thing, but he was even more shocked to see a kid in weird armor holding much of the weight and them being followed by a blue girl and Naruto. "Is that what fell from the sky earlier?" Sarutobi asked the nearest ANBU.
"Yes sir, it is actually a ship that is used for travel outside of earth. It was carrying these two humans, this one known as 'Master Chief' and the blue girl over there is known as 'Cortana,' we were able to gather that they are from a different universe, apparently their drive malfunctioned and they ended up here, they seem to not be hostile towards any humans right now, but when we found them they were armed to the teeth with these strange weapons called guns, grenades, rockets, and the ammunition for each, instead of using something large and sharp these rely or small very fast pieces of metal to work. Hokage-sama they wish to negotiate with you about staying in Konoha, We have told them that they were to wait for confirmation that you wished to speak to them." The ANBU said breathlessly.
Sarutobi replied, "Yes I would like to see them, tell them I'll meet them in my office in 15 minutes," and he promptly vanished.
The ANBU lead the two heroes to the tower and showed them to the Hokage's office and left in a poof of smoke.
"I wonder how they do that. It seems like magic." Said the green clad warrior.
Master Chief and Cortana walked into the office and sat down ready for the negotiations that were to come.
