Chapter 3: open Negotiations.
A/N: Thanks for all the reviews; it really makes me want to write more, I'm trying to keep it funny so Master Chief and Cortana may be a little OOC, so sorry in advanced.
I don't own Naruto or Halo, so don't sue me.

"So let me get this straight you two are from another universe, one where monsters from outer space are trying to destroy the human race, and you two are the last humans from that universe." Sarutobi said while thinking, "I'm getting too old for this."
"Yes, well mostly, I'm technically an Artificial Intelligence, but some how I got a solid body when we entered this universe, and Chief here is a cybernetic enhanced human who is almost as much artificial as he is organic. So basically there weren't any more humans, but everything else you said is correct, We don't have much of a reason to go back, and because we have no home to go to in this universe we were hoping to live here, we would be willing to work for our stay, Master Chief could do well in construction." Cortana said.
"Hey, I am not a construction worker, I'm a soldier, I might look twelve but I'm about three times that age, I know how to fight and I can fight better than most people, and with my armor I can kick just about any persons ass that I want to." Master Chief said angrily.
"Don't worry, you are about the right age to start as a genin, it is kind of like a low level soldier, most of the missions you'll do is closer to chores than the missions you're used to but, unfortunately that is as close as I can get. The exams will be held at the end of the week, I'll get you a tutor to help with the ninjutsu and genjutsu, after seeing you help the ANBU with your ship I doubt you'll need help with taijutsu, Haishi will you please come in now."
The door opened and a man that both newcomers thought, "He looks like he's blind, how could he help us."
"I assure you, Haishi is not blind, in fact he has better sight than any normal human. He can see chakra coils and tenketsu. With this ability he should be able to teach you much faster than most other people, you are very lucky I was able to call in a favor," Sarutobi stated.
Thank you Hokage, where will we be staying? I didn't see any barracks walking here. Also when should we train with Haishi? I would like to as soon as possible, but I am very tired from the flight, and if I am Cortana is probably exhausted."
You'll be staying in the apartment next to Naruto's, you're very lucky that the previous tenant moved out not two days ago. As for when you will train, that is up to Haishi." Sarutobi answered.
"You will meet me at 0600 hours tomorrow for you physical and then beginning training. If either of you are late you both will do 500 push-ups before we start anything. Do you under stand?" Haishi commanded.
"Sir, yes, sir" Master Chief and Cortana replied
"That is all, I expect to see both of you bright and early tomorrow morning." Haishi said the promptly disappeared.
"Send in Naruto." The Hokage said.
Naruto walked in the room and shouted, "All right old man, what's the mission am I protecting some beautiful princess or fighting a monster or killing an evil tyrant or…"
"Naruto settle down you're just showing our new guests to there apartment next to your, and get them some dinner, here's the money for dinner, I expect you to feed them something besides ramen." Sarutobi said while handing Naruto some money.
"Oh, We're not hungry you don't have to feed us we can wait till tomorrow." Cortana said right before her stomach growled very loudly.
"That's right you've never eaten before have you, Cortana? Oh well if The Hokage is going to pay I'm not going to say no." Master Chief said
"All right off to Ichiraku!!" Naruto shouted and ran out the door dragging Master Chief and Cortana with him.
"Hey, I told you no Ramen, Naruto!" Sarutobi shouted after them then said to himself, "I should have known Naruto was going to do that as soon as he left.
"Hokage-sama do you really think that those two are the same as in legend? they seem too young and the legend is over ten thousand years old, as old as humans themselves." Haishi asked the Hokage.
"I don't know but I believe that the two aren't totally unrelated, we'll just have to wait and find out." Sarutobi responded.
"I will take my leave now; I can't believe that you are letting two people that could be the most important to our village since the first Hokage live next to the demon-brat." Haishi stated
"I couldn't think of someone better for them to befriend, after all he keeps saying that he's going to be Hokage someday, and I believe him.

"Achoo, Must be getting a cold, damn it, I don't need the distraction of being sick for the exam." Naruto said while eating his fifth bowl, Cortana could only eat one but she loved it. And master chief had eaten three. "Hey Master Chief how did you eat the ramen I haven't seen you take off your helmet.
Master Chief just replied, "It's something I learned to do on the battle field, you can't have your helmet off for long when fighting the Covenant, the only problem is…" Master Chief let out a huge belch, "Sorry as I was saying, when you eat that fast you get a lot of air in your stomach."
"That's disgusting; the least you could do is try to stifle it, and say 'excuse me'" Cortana said perturbed.
"All right, all right, excuse me, now we should probably get going to the apartment, it's already 2300 hours and we need to get up at 0500 to get to training ground seven on time.
Naruto paid grumbling about not getting enough to eat, and said "follow me I'll show you to the apartment building."

Cortana was looked at the bed, blushed, and said to Chief "You will not be sharing that bed with me!"
"Why not we've shared the same armor and even some of the same brain before, I don't see how this could be any worse." Chief said while smiling, it wasn't often that he out smarted Cortana, but when he did she was usually way off, and now he didn't have to sleep on the floor.
Cortana turned a deeper shade of blue, this time out of frustration, and said, "I concede we can share the bed, but if you do anything I'll make sure that you'll be begging to take on Gravemind, just to get away from me!"
"OK, jeeze, you're too young for me anyway," Master Chief replied.
"Your twelve too, so don't act like you think I'm ugly!" Cortana yelled
"From the way you're talking, it almost sounds like you want me to try something." Master Chief responded.
Cortana blushed even darker shouted, "Pervert!!" and hit Chief, and since he didn't have his armor on, because he was about to go to sleep, he took the full force of the slap on his face. Cortana had hit him so hard he actually got knocked out, She looked at him and started to get tears in her eyes, went over picked him up and put him in bed and got next to him and promptly fell asleep, after all it can be draining when you suddenly change from a computer program to a living being.
