Thanks for the reviews!!! The story has almost 100 hits too. Didn't think I would get that many in just one day. This chapter will explain a bit more that was missing in the last chapter, as I left a lot open for the reader to guess. The beginning of the chapter is Gabriel's point of view. It takes place right after he leaves naruto's room.

I do not own Naruto or Warhammer 40K

Gabriel exited the room after giving the boy some food. Judging by the questions that the boy had answered, their government was Republic based. The military served under one commander who answered only to the lord of their country. They also had a council, something which disgusted Gabriel. There shouldn't be any reason for a council in government. Having a group of people question their so called leader didn't sit well with him. He made his way towards his private quarters. Opening the door, he went over to his terminal. Pressing a few keys, he sent a message to Thane. They needed to talk. He went over a few things while waiting for the commander. The boy had described the energy as chakra. From what he said, it flowed through all living beings; Though Gabriel guessed that only a select few were able to utilize it. Naruto also explained about Jutsus. The 'Shinobi' as he called them, were able to mold the energy and use it to control different things such as; elements, gravity, senses, and in some cases, time. These people sounded very much like librarians. But as far as he knew, Liberians had limits. That these beings were able to overcome these limits frightened Gabriel. Imagine a Marine with the ability to launch a ball of fire that could annihilate an entire ork squad. Now multiply that Marine times a million. It was truly frightening to think of. The door opened and Thane stepped in.

"Captain, you wished to speak to me?" he asked standing in the door. Gabriel motioned for him to sit down. He sat on the chair across from him.

Gabriel began to speak, "There is a matter of great importance that I wish to ask of you." Thane looked intrigued.

"Sir?"

"It's about the boy and his home planet." Thane leaned forward.

"What is it you want me to do?" He asked. Gabriel thought for a moment before responding.

"I want you to go back to the planet with him. Hide yourself among his people. I need eyes and ears on the ground."

Thane looked confused, "Why would you ask such a thing? From what you explained earlier, the Imperium ordered us to leave the system. Not doing so would go against direct orders." Gabriel stood up and walked over to the window. The blue-green planet shone in the darkness of space.

It was a moment before he responded, "A century ago, I would have followed the commands without question. But with what I have experienced throughout these years, I find myself questioning these orders. I have a very bad feeling about this. Something doesn't add up." Gabriel turned back around to face Thane. "I believe that there is something going on. Something that has to do with that planet. Why are there humans living there with no Imperial stronghold? Why do they possess this strange energy? And why does the Inquisition want me gone so badly? These are the questions running through my head. I plan to have them answered one way or another. I will not chance putting the Imperium at risk." Thane was silent, contemplating what his captain had said.

After a moment he spoke, "Do you really believe that the Inquisition would act on its own will?"

"Do not forget about Isidor. He was one of the best. Even he fell to temptation."

Thane was quiet for a moment before speaking, "And if I was to hide myself among his people, what would my purpose there be?"

"Reconnaissance. I need to learn more about the planet. I will keep in contact with you. If I can gain more knowledge, then maybe putting this puzzle together would be easier. Also, I want you to train the boy. Mold him into an Imperial soldier. He is our only link to his home world. I believe he will be valuable in the years to come."

"Reconnaissance? Shouldn't you assign one of our scouts then?" Thane asked.

"I trust you the most out of all my battle brothers Thane. There is nobody else that I would assign to this task." Thane looked humbled before responding.

"Fine, I will do it. When do I leave?"

"I'll need you to take the boy and go immediately. We have only an hour to leave the system. I am sure the Inquisition has an agent down on the planet, so you will need to be discrete. You will have to think up your own back story. Let's go"

Gabriel and Thane walked into the medbay to spot the boy looking out the window at his planet. 'Youth' Gabriel thought as he observed the shining eyes of the wondrous child.

"Naruto, this is Commander Thane. We would like to speak with you for a moment."

The boy smiled, "What about Gabriel-Ojiisan?" Thane looked at the commander and mouthed, 'Ojiisan?' Gabriel just shook his head and looked back towards Naruto.

"There are some things that we need to explain to you. Unfortunately, we don't have time. Thane will be going back with you to your home. He will explain more about what that entails later. You will listen to his orders. Above all else though, you cannot tell anyone about who we are." Naruto looked confused.

"Why?"

"If you do, it could endanger your safety and the safety of others as well. It could most likely mean the destruction of your entire village." Naruto looked frightened. Gabriel had laid it on pretty heavy, but he wasn't lying. If the Inquisition didn't want anyone to know what they're doing, they could order an exterminatus to cover their tracks.

"Ok Ojiisan, I won't tell anyone." Gabriel nodded.

"You will leave immediately; Thane will take you to the drop pods. It has been a pleasure meeting you Naruto. Until we meet again." Gabriel walked out of the room. Naruto looked at Thane and Thane looked back at Naruto.

"Hey Niisan, how old are you?"

Thane sighed.

The drop pod slammed into the ground about 50 miles outside the village. Enough to make sure that nobody would notice their arrival. The drop pod's sides opened up and Naruto stumbled out. He quickly proceeded to empty his stomach all over the ground. Thane walked out in civilian clothing, chuckling. He still remembered his first drop pod ride. After a while, you got used to the vertigo.

"Come on kid, we need to hightail it towards your village. On the way, I need to fill you in on what's going to happen." Naruto stood shakily and nodded. Thane Grabbed his trunk from the pod and slung it over his shoulder. Inside were his armor, weapons, and other general gear. Naruto was staring wide eyed. The trunk itself was as tall as two men. Watching this man pick it up as if it were nothing was amazing. But then again, the man was very large. Just over 7 feet tall, with short dark hair, and one of the most serious faces he had ever seen. Admittedly, Naruto was very intimidated. You didn't see people this tall in Konoha. Pressing something on the side of the pod, it began to disintegrate. Soon, the 10 foot pod was reduced down to dust. Naruto just couldn't get used to this technology thing.

"Come on Naruto. I want to make it back before dark." Thane began to walk away. Naruto quickly followed, his short legs taking extra strides to keep up with the large man.

"My captain has ordered me to train you as an imperial soldier." Naruto's face showed deep thought.

"Is that like a ninja?" he asked putting his hands behind his head while they walked.

"No, an imperial warrior is much greater than any of your….Ninja's." Thane said. Naruto thought for a moment. Hokage-Ojiisan had said that he would be a ninja soon, when he graduated the academy. But Thane-Niisan said that he was going to be an Imperial Warrior? Whatever that was. Thane saw the confusion on the boy's face and immediately realized what it was.

"You will still be a ninja officially, but your training in those arts will only go as far as learning techniques. As for your Imperial training, you will know things like the history of the human race, Memorize the Codex Astartes, learn about our government, combat techniques, and weapons training. In other words, you will be a mix of Imperial and Shinobi. All the while, you will be undercover as an agent of the Blood Ravens." Thane finished. He gave the boy a moment to ask questions.

"What are the Blood Ravens?" Thane smiled.

"We are a chapter of the Emperors great Adeptus Astartes. The Blood Ravens pride themselves on our knowledge. One of our most used mantras is 'Knowledge is power, Guard it well'. We do not know our origins but we search in hopes of one day discovering them." Thane looked at the boy. His eyes were wide and he was hanging on every word that Thane uttered. That was good. The boy was interested in knowledge. He might make a good Blood Raven on day. They continued to walk down the road as Thane told Naruto everything he could think of about the Blood Raven's and Space Marines. Their talk was soon halted as a few men stood in their way.

"Hey boys, look what we got here." The man in front said. He was the obvious leader of the group. He was holding a katana in what was supposed to me a menacing pose. The other men, while intimidated by Thane's size, still began to surround them.

"Now as I see it, You can give us your stuff and leave with your life, or you can die right here and then I'll still take your stuff." The leader said. The men around them laughed.

"If you do not leave immediately, I am going to kill you." Thane said unslinging the trunk from his shoulders. The men laughed even harder at this.

"What the hell are you gonna do you great lug?" Unfortunately for the bandits, Thane didn't feel like answering with words. Swinging his trunk around at an inhuman speed he demolished the man's head. Pieces of gore showered the ground in front of him. Quickly moving to the next bandit, he uppercutted the man, caving in his jaw and completely snapping his neck. A quick elbow, to the next bandit exploded the right side of his face. The man went down screaming, and Thane stomped his head, completely cratering it into the ground. Only ten seconds had passed since Thane had started moving. The area around them was quiet as Naruto stood shaking.

"What the hell? You killed them!?!" He said. If he hadn't puked earlier, he was sure that he would of here.

"These men stood in our way. They threatened us. I promised them no harm if they left, but they still proceeded to try and rob us. You will learn that this kind of behavior cannot be tolerated. Let us continue." Thane began to walk away, stepping around the dead bandits. Naruto after a moment followed.

So what did you think? I tried to make it a bit longer but it actually fell a bit shorter. I stopped it here because it was the best place to do so. You won't hear from Gabriel for quite a while due to the fact that I want to concentrate on Naruto's training. I also don't bash characters. They are not represented completely out of character like some stories do. I haven't decided on what team pairings are going to be. Naruto will also be decently smart in this story. He will not be a blubbering idiot who wears orange and knows only two Jutsus. Please Review. I need input if I'm going to write this story well.
