Hey Grimm here. I made chapter two quite a bit longer than the first one. Thanks for the reviews I got. I plan to continue updating a few times every week. I will inform you if I can't make an update. Well on to the story!
I do not own Naruto or Warhammer 40K
Gabriel looked to the holographic display above the observation window as the servitor hailed the Inquisition. It only took a moment for Gabriel to recognize the man on the screen. Inquisitor Barret. He scowled. He did not get along well with Barret. Ever since the Tartarus incident Barret had been riding him at every opportunity. Even a century later the man had still to say anything good towards him, questioning his every decision. Likewise, the Inquisitor did not look too pleased to see him either.
"Ah, Captain Angelos. To what do I owe this….Pleasure?" Barret said raising his brow.
"I have found something interesting in the M82 system. We were specifically ordered by the Departmento Munitorum to halt the advancement of an ork fleet towards an uncharted planet. Due to warp storms, we were delayed and the orks reached planet side. Luckily we were able dispatch ground forces and annihilate the fleet before they reached the locals. At first I heavily questioned my orders. Protecting an alien race? But there was a small native child nearby. He was hit by a burst from an ork rifle. He was human." Gabriel finished. Barret stiffened. To any normal person you wouldn't notice, but Captain Gabriel had been alive for 4 centuries. You didn't live that long and not learn to read people. His reaction was interesting. He didn't look surprised, but his reaction showed his nervousness. It was time to push a little harder. "I can't see why humans would be on an uncharted planet. The planet itself was registered in the Imperial database as unoccupied. There wasn't even a record of an Imperial stronghold there. It confused me. I called to see if you might enlighten me, as it is obvious that you would have knowledge of this ordeal, Inquisitor." Barret was silent for a moment. Gabriel could see his jaw muscles moving.
"What happened to the child?" Barret finally asked after a moment of silence. Gabriel had already planned for this question. It only took him a split second to respond.
"Dead. The wounds were too great for the boy. He didn't make it back to the ship." He had lied for a reason. Obviously Barret was hiding something from him. It didn't take a genius to figure out that something was going on. If he didn't get answers from Barret, then he would enact his own plan and get to the bottom of this. Barret had visibly relaxed. Composing himself he soon spoke.
"You are dealing with matters best left alone Captain. You shouldn't stick your nose where it doesn't belong. I thought you would have learned that after Tartarus. Get rid of the body and leave the planet. This is your only warning. If your ship is not out of the system in 5 hours, you and the Litany will be detained." Gabriel glared at the man.
"I will follow your orders Inquisitor but I have to speak. The severity of your reaction leaves much to question. One would almost think that you had something to hide." Gabriel finished. Barret looked incredulous for a moment before he schooled himself.
"Questioning the Imperium like that. Watch yourself Gabriel. You wouldn't want to be branded a traitor, would you? As for my reaction, it is only normal. The Imperium has an interest in this planet. In what, I shall not say but it makes me nervous that a man such as you was involved. You were one of the main reasons that Tartarus was destroyed. And after Cyrene….Who could guess what you will demolish next? Good day Captain." The screen went blank. Gabriel yelled in fury and slammed his fist in a nearby monitor. A spray of glass showered the floor. That bastard! How dare he mention Cyrene in his presence! He had done what was required of him. The planet had been infested with mutant life. The Codex Astartes specifically stated that all signs of mutant infestation be reported directly to the Inquisition. He shook his head. It would do no good dwelling over it. What was done was done. He had other things to do anyway. Exiting the bridge, Gabriel headed towards medbay.
The screen went blank as Barret lowered his head. That fool! Why had he sent Angelos to destroy the fleet? He had made a small problem much larger. He punched a few buttons on the keypad and waited. The screen lit back up. On the screen a man's face appeared. Barret immediately started speaking.
"What the hell were you thinking? You could have ruined everything by sending that idiot Gabriel to the planet. You know how nosey he is. I can't believe you would endanger the project like this." He paused to catch himself. "Thankfully he didn't discover much. I ordered him to leave the system, he should be gone soon." Barret finished and took a breath. The entire time the man was silent. He spoke after a moment.
"This changes nothing. We won't have to wait much longer. As long as you keep Gabriel off our trail, things should go smoothly. As for my actions in sending Gabriel, they are my own. You will not question my decisions. I will tell you when the time is right. You will be informed of the plan as I see fit Barret. This is on a need to know basis. Until then, do not contact me. You have your orders." The screen went blank. Barret sighed. Going behind the Imperium to do this could get them killed. But it was for the good of mankind. If this plan succeeded, nothing could stand in their way. The humans would be able to dominate every other race in the galaxy. His duty was to work for the advancement of the human race. The good outweighed the bad here in his mind. He just hoped it was worth the risk. Only time would tell.
Sarutobi was frantic. Naruto was gone. He had sent ANBU to search around the village for him but so far nothing turned up. Sarutobi sighed. If the boy had run away he wouldn't blame him. Despite the law he had laid down about the Kyuubi, the villagers had still tormented the young child. There were assassination attempts almost every week. They had begun to lessen due to ANBU presence but even after ten years some still got through to the child. He tried to help the boy in every way he could but the civilian council stood in his way. Until the boy became a shinobi, they had almost complete control over him. He could do nothing. Sarutobi didn't even trust his own people. He even had to be on hand in the hospital to make sure one of the doctors didn't try and do the boy in. Lighting his pipe, he walked over to the window and observed the village. The sun was just beginning to set over the monument. Searching in the dark would lessen their chances of finding him. If he was sure that the man was bold enough, he would have thought Danzo was behind it. But the old war hawk wasn't stupid enough to do something this risky. He sighed once more. 'Minato. You would be so disappointed in this village.'
Gabriel stood over the child. The boy would wake within the hour according to the apothecary. He debated on what he was going to do. The child held a daemon within him. Letting him live went against everything written in the Codex Astartes. It disgusted him. But this same child might have the answers he needed to figure out this riddle. And if he didn't then maybe he could help him find them. Looking down at the boy sleeping peacefully he couldn't help but be conflicted. The daemon had obviously been sealed into the child at his birth. There were no signs of possession that were normally found in carriers. The only thing that was strange about the child, were the three whisker marks on either side of his face. Gabriel had one of his Chaplains study the seal on his abdomen. The chaplain had studied the seal for about a half an hour before informing Gabriel of his findings. The seal was a special one. Instead of sealing the daemon directly into the child, the design made it so that the energy and the soul were separated. There were blocks in the seal to make sure that the daemon had no power over the boy. It was all in all, well designed. The boy began to stir, bringing Gabriel back to the present. The boy sat up and looked around the room before settling his eyes on him. The boy stared in amazement before he shakily spoke. "Where am I?" Gabriel stiffened. The boy spoke Japanese. For an alien race to fluently speak one of the same languages used by the Imperium for the last 40 millennia was surprising. It only increased his suspicions. Thankfully all Imperium Officers were required to speak the most basic human languages. A long standing tradition in Terra's history. He slowly responded to the child in his native language.
"You are on board my ship, the Litany. You were injured. We brought you here." The boy looked at him for a second before responding.
"So you saved me?" the boy asked. Gabriel nodded. He was surprised as the child broke into a grin.
"Thanks Ojiisan! I really appreciate it." Ojiisan. Grandpa. He couldn't help it. He chuckled a little. He was the Chapter Master of over 1000 marines and one of the most respected officers in the Imperium. For this child to call him grandpa. He laughed at the irony. Becoming impassive once more, he continued his questioning.
"What is your name child?" the boy who continued to smile spoke loudly.
"My name is Uzumaki Naruto. And I'm going to be the next hokage!"
Space! He was in space. The big marine Ojiisan told him that. At the moment he was looking out the observation window in the med bay. He could see the planet down bellow. Hokage Ojiisan was down there. Naruto hoped he wasn't worrying much. The big man that had called himself Gabriel had asked him a lot of questions. Much of it was simple as in how old he was or what was his village like. Others had been more difficult. He had asked about chakra and shinobi, what the leader of the village was like and how big was the military. Being ten, Naruto had answered to the best of his ability. Then after the man was satisfied, he had let Naruto ask him questions. Like why he was so big, where had he gotten his armor, and where could Naruto find a set. After the questioning, the man had brought him food and then left saying that he would be back later. Naruto had quickly devoured the meal and had been going over everything that had happened since he had woken that morning. He had woken up to find that the day he was dreading had come to pass. October 10. Every year the villagers tortured him more than usual on this day. He usually had to hide somewhere. This year he had decided to go into the forest. He had apparently gone too deep as he had lost his way. He had heard loud noises nearby and had gone to investigate. What he had seen had shocked him. Humongous green creatures were fighting against weird men in red armor. One of the green creatures had seen him and raised his weird fire spitter. Everything after that was a blur. The big man, Gabriel-Ojiisan as Naruto had dubbed him, had called the beasts' orks. He had never heard of an ork, but then again he had never been in outer space either. A door opening behind him brought him out of his thoughts. Naruto turned around to see Gabriel-Ojiisan standing next to another man in gold and red armor.
"Naruto, this is Commander Thane. We would like to speak to you for a moment."
So what did you think? I plan to make Gabriel and Thane around Sannin level due to their technological enhancements in order to make up for lack of Chakra. Later on Naruto will go through induction into the Adeptus Astartes. As for Karthik9's Review, I have a plan for the Kyuubi. Also you have to realize that Gabriel is different from most Space Marines. In the Blood Raven's Omnibus, he worked side by side with the Eldar. Again I plan to make the chapters even longer. Please Review!!!
