In case you guys don't know, I don't own naruto ME or EVE online...seriously what's the point of me saying this:/

Naruto staggered out of the clone vat bay, the process of waking up in a new clone had a tendency of feeling as if your head was splitting open at first. Naruto held his head as a small groan left his lips. He entered the elevator and started to ride up to the living area. After pushing the button, he sat down on the floor, the effects of waking up starting to wane. 'What the hell happened?' He thought to himself, raking his brain, trying to remember the details of what happened. 'Nothing I read about the asari said anything about this. That asari, she must be different somehow.' After finishing this train of thought, the elevator came to a stop. He got back up and made his way to his room and got dressed. By the time he was done, all effects from his clone jump had past and he quickly made his way to the comm room. He sat down and called Sakura. "Sakura come in."

"What's up? Enjoying yourself?" She replied.

"I need you to pick me up."

"From where?"

"The PoS…." Naruto answered.

"The pos?" Sakura asked. "How the- ooooooh." She said knowingly. "I'm on my way."

TIMESKIP: 2 HOURS…..

Sakura had finally made it back to the PoS, as expected, she asked how Naruto got himself killed. By the time Naruto finished retelling the tale Sakura stood there, Naruto knowing full well she was just thinking up some smart-ass remark….sure enough, it came.

"Sooooo you tried to get some with an alien but she turned out to be a walking STDs on steroids? " She asked.

"That's a pretty tactless of putting it but yes." Naruto answered. "I was curious about their melding process, and technically, the STD reference doesn't count, we didn't get beyond kissing." Naruto deadpanned.

"So what? We gonna confront her?"

"Hell yeah. I can't very well leave my other body there. It's pretty obvious that it's out of the ordinary with me being a capsuleer and all." Naruto said. "One good autopsy and this galaxy can have tech I would rather hand out if I got something in return if you know what I mean." Sakura nodded her head in understanding. "Besides, I also have plans for that asari." Naruto said with a gleam in his eye.

They returned to Omega, and the duo quickly made their way back to Morinth's apartment. Sakura came up with a decent plan to deal with the asari.

Currently, Morinth was inspecting the body of her latest victim. Her heart fluttered at the ecstasy she felt when melding with Naruto. In the 300 odd years of melding, she never felt anything so intense. She lamented at the fact that she may never get such a feeling again. Taking a closer look at Naruto, she noticed strange ports on the back of his head. She was about to inspect them when a chime interrupted her. "H-Hello?" An unfamiliar female voice called out from outside her apartment. When the chime sounded off again, Morinth walked to the door inter-comm. "What is it?" She asked as she activated the video feed on the door so she can see who it was. To her surprise, it was a human girl. One with an unusual pink hair color.

"H-Hello?" The girl asked with uncertainty. "I-I'm selling small sculptures I-I made. I was wondering if you'd be willing to buy."

Upon hearing this, Morinth became a bit excited. "Oh? Can you show me?" She asked. The girl pulled out a small sculpture of a beautiful woman in elegant robes and held it toward the camera. "That is rather impressive." Morinth commented. "How much are you selling it for?"

"U-um 50 creds?" The girl said/asked hopefully.

At this, Morinth got off the inter-comm and walked to the door. This was an opportunity she couldn't miss. She had yet another artist right at her doorstep. 'I'm going to take my time with this one.' She thought to herself. 'Such a sad out of place human will go unmissed here in omega.'

Sakura was standing outside with Naruto hidden from view. The plan was simple, appeal to Morinth's love of art. Sakura had played the role of a young, shy, down on her luck artist perfectly. The door opened, revealing Morinth with a kind smile on her face. Said smile didn't last long, as soon as the doors opened, Sakura rushed in and punched Morinth, knocking the wind out of her. The last thing Morinth saw was Naruto walking out of his hiding spot before her world went black.

"What are we going to do about her?" Sakura asked.

"We're taking her back to the POS."

"WHAT?!"

"Save it." Naruto ordered. "Load her up into the container along with my body and get it to the ship before she comes to."

Sakura did as ordered, protesting while she did so. They soon found themselves back on their ship heading back to the PoS. "I don't like this." Sakura said. "Why the hell would you want her? She's a fucking killer! You don't exactly have an unlimited amount of clones to jump into you know."

"Your concerns are well placed." Naruto began. "But I ultimately need an asari for my research. I get the feeling that Morinth will be the very best candidate."

"Then where are we going to keep her?"

"We'll be keeping her on the living level of the research module." Naruto answered. "I want you to limit her movement in that module. She'll be free to move the room she'll be confined in, the bathroom, and the kitchen. Nowhere else."

At this Sakura sighed. "Fine. But I'm keeping my eye on her at all times."

"I'm counting on it."

Time skip: sometime later….

Naruto was now sitting across from Morinth in the kitchen of the research module. The asari had yet to wake up, understandable. He felt first hand how much power Sakura could put into her punches, and he was sure she put a little bit more oomph into it out of anger towards Morinth for killing his pervious body. Not long afterwards Morinth let out a light moan, she slowly came to, eyes fluttering before shooting open. She looked around franticly, not even noticing Naruto right in front of her. She tried moving her hands only to find them bound by Omni-cuffs.

"I see you finally woke up." Naruto said, his voice causing Morinth to snap her attention to him with a clear look of shock. "Ahh the look on your face is priceless." Naruto continued in amusement. "One would think you seen a ghost."

"H-how? I watched you die!"

At this Naruto laughed. "I am immortal my dear." Naruto began. "You can kill me, but I will simply wake up in a new body. It is I technology foreign to these parts." Naruto explained, purposely making it sound as though he has an infinite amount of bodies.

'Immortal? There is no such thing.' Morinth thought.

"On to business." Naruto began as he released Morinth's Omni-cuffs.

Upon being freed, Morinth immediately used her biotics, pinned Naruto to a wall, and began to walk up to him. 'This is a grand opportunity.' She thought. 'I can meld with him again. That pleasure, that ecstasy! I will get to feel it again! This time I'm going to savor It.' She finished her thought with a smirk. She was right up to Naruto at this point, who was perfectly calm, and was about to touch him when he spoke.

"That wouldn't be advised." He said causing her to stop. "You see my assistant Sakura is watching very carefully. If you try anything, she'll vent the entire structure, killing us both." He said shocking the asari. "Well I would just wake back up in a new body, but you won't have that luxury." Naruto could see several emotions run though the asari's face. Surprise, anger, disappointment, curiosity and then finally something he couldn't place. The final look Morinth gave him was akin to a predator stalking its prey. Morinth released Naruto from the wall and sat back down in her original seat.

"I am assuming you bought me here for something." She said calmly.

By this time, Naruto had returned to his seat as well. "Yes. As I already told you, I am a scientist, and I find the area of biotics to be highly intriguing." He started. "As such I need a compliant subject to study. And since you oh so kindly gave me such an…unusual death." He said with a biting tone. "I've decided to make you the subject of my research."

"There are many studies about biotics. You don't need a research subject." Morinth said.

"Ahhh but I do. You would be surprised how different findings in research can very from person to person." Naruto said. "One can seemingly know everything about a subject, but someone else studying via different methods can make a discovery that can turn everything that is known upside down. Because of this, I've taken a liking doing my own research."

"And what will happen when you are done with me?"

"You'll be free to go." Naruto said simply, causing Morinth look at him with suspicion.

"Then when do we start?" Morinth asked.

"Right now. I have a few questions to ask you before we begin my research in earnest."

"Very well."

"What kind of asari are you?" He asked.

"I'm just a normal-"

"Morinth, do you really think you can tell such a blatant lie to my face?" Naruto interrupted. "Clearly you are not normal. If asari did what you did during melding, they would not be the most sexually sought after race in the galaxy."

After several moments of silence, Morinth finally gave in and told Naruto what she really was. It wasn't something she did lightly. The less people that knew about her the better. However, nothing in her 400+ years of life could have prepared her for the situation she was in. She was dealing with a human that could possibly be immortal. This entire ordeal was a first for her, she would have to play along for now. But the first opportunity she got, she was going to make a break or it. "I trust you won't be operating on me in any way?" She asked.

"Of course not. Most of what I have planed involes scanning your Physiology ." Naruto answered. "The most invasive thing I would do, would be injecting various dyes that will make the nervous systems I'm interested in more visible to the scans."

"You won't be injecting anything into me." Morinth said harshly.

"I'm sure you understand the situation you are in." Naruto said calmly before changing to a cold tone. "I hold all the cards. If I want to I can simply get in contact with the asari. I'm sure you're wanted seeing as they seem to go through great lengths to keep the existence of your condition a secret. I will also be satisfied with killing you and simply working on a corpse. Now you can either accept my offer, or be uncooperative which could result in your death." Morinth simply stayed silent, a slight look of displeasure on her face, causing Naruto to smirk. "It must be frustrating to you." Naruto continued as he got up and walked around toward Morinth. "For so many years you've been running around free, possibly evading authorities. But now you ran into an anomaly, and for the first time, you're trapped." Naruto said lifting her chin up with a finger looking deep into her eyes before he smirked. "I look forward to spending quality time together." He finished as he started to leave. "In case you haven't figured it out, this entire area is under heavy surveillance, try anything, you're spaced." He finished as he left.

Morinth sat in place silently, displeasure plastered on her face. However, oddly enough, she soon found herself smirking. She found the situation she was in….entertaining. 'I will play your little game…..for now.' She thought to herself as she got up to explore.

BACK IN THE POS COMMAND CENTER…

Naruto had returned to the command center with a satisfied look on his face. He sat down and opened up a console. He looked up Ardat-Yakshi, intending to see just how much info was around. Immediately a documentation appeared, a single, solitary documentation. 'Odd.' Naruto thought to himself. Naruto opened the document and was a bit surprised at what he read. It basically amounted to Ardat-yakshi being monks of sort who cast aside their worldly desires to live in solitude, making a living by making various jams and tapestry.

"Something is fishy." Sakura comment over the comms. "The asari are heavily moderating the info on this subject. The extranet is a free and open source of info where countless people voice their opinions. There is no way in hell there would be only a single site about these Ardat-yakshi."

"I know."

"So are you really going to let Morinth go after you're done with her?" Sakura asked. "Considering she's most likely wanted and we want to make ties with the races here, it wouldn't hurt to turn her in."

"I've thought about it." Naruto answered. "Depending on how she behaves I'll let her go….then tell the asari where she was headed. At least she'll have a head start."

At this Sakura chuckled. "I hope she behaves herself in the meantime." She said. "Well." she continued, this time from her body that had been sitting in a nearby chair. "I'll be heading back to Omega, there is still a lot of crap to sort through. I'm guessing you'll want to stay here and spent same time with your new friend."

"Just shut up and go where you're going." Naruto said dismissively.

ONE WEEK LATER

Naruto was now paying a visit to Afterlife, intending to sell the scanner he developed to Aria. He ran the idea past her and she, as expected, was very interested in the idea. He walked up he stairs towards Aria's booth, her guards allowing him to get past with no hindrance. Upon seeing him, Aria tilted her head back toward the seat to her left, her way of telling visitors to sit down. "What do you have for me?" She asked.

At this Naruto activated his Omni-tool and began pulling up various plans for the device. "These are the scanners we talked about. Placing them in key locations within omega will catch any surveillance equipment that enter omega and send an alert."

"Good." She said. "Let's talk business."

Meanwhile with Sakura…..

Sakura was now in the back up power station. It was a moderate sized building that produced enough power to run the entity of Aria's operation. Sakura continued her scanning of the area, finding very few surveillance bugs. Her attention to her task was interrupted by a round pod of some sort that rolled at her feet. Soon after, it releases a huge plume of dense smoke. Sakura immediately slide into cover and pulled out a heavy pistol. Her eyes turned yellow, allowing her to see through the smoke. In the smoke, she could see several people taking up positions to surround her. Opening up her Omni-tool, she tried calling Naruto for back up only to find it was unresponsive. 'I suppose if they are going to attack, they would at least be sure to jam comms' She thought to herself. 'Now, where would I put a jammer?' She asked herself as she poked her head out in the open to look around, immediately a shot flew by her face, just missing her. She pulled back into cover and looked at her heavy pistol. 'Figures, the one day I leave the harder hitting guns home, I get ambushed.' She thought. 'Oh well.'

Whipping out of cover, Sakura charged at one of her attackers, receiving several shots in the process. She killed off three of the soldiers before she felt several shots impact on her back, causing her to duck for cover. From her position, she noticed a lone soldier up on the catwalks hiding behind small fenced off area that held several power junctions, panels and relays. He had what appeared to be a large pack build into his armor with a long antennae sticking out of it. 'Jackpot!' Sakura smirked, knowing that he must be the one jamming her comms. She jumped twenty feet up in the air and unto the catwalks, amused at the shocked comments her attackers made. Moving fast, she quickly ran to the soldier, who started opening fire on her. Just as she was about to reach him, another soldier managed to block her path. Not even stopping, she punched him, sending him flying off the catwalks. Finally reaching the fenced off area, Sakura slammed into the locked gate and jumped over the cover the soldier was using. The soldier quickly turned around to open fire at her only for the A.I to grab him by the hand and throw him onto the fence before falling to the ground. He tried to crawl for his gun, only to feel a powerful impact on to his back as Sakura slammed her fist into the jamming device. Sakura quickly opened her Omni-tool. "Come in Naruto!"

BACK WITH NARUTO…..

"You're a shrewd negotiator Uzumaki." Aria commented. "I'm satisfied with your demands. When will you be able to install these scans of yours?"

"As soon as Sakura is done, we'll start getting everything for the installation. It shouldn't take more than a few weeks to get everything up and running." Naruto answered as Sakura's voice came over his Omni tool.

"Come in Naruto!"

"Speak of the devil." he commented. "What is it Sakura-"

"I'm being attacked! Several unknown soldiers, their highly trained and well equipped! There're too many of them I can't hold on much-." The transmission was suddenly cut off, causing Naruto to worry.

Naruto immediately got up and started to leave. "We'll continue this when I get back." He said to Aria.

"Take some of my men. I doubt you alone could do much." Aria said, signaling a nearly agent to get some of her men.

BACK WITH SAKURA….

Sakura was now pinned down in the fenced off area. She was almost out of thermal clips and there were too many soldiers to risk charging gung ho. Her body can take several hits, but a good shot to the head could do serious damage if hit hard enough or put under constant fire. The latter of which, had a high probability of happening given it situation that developed while she contacted Naruto. She looked to the side of the fence, only to see 30 or so soldiers carefully positioned to open fire on her in case she jumped. 'Dammit!'

Sakura opened fire at her attackers up on the catwalk and had a terrible strike of bad luck. Her heavy pistol stopped working, something that didn't go unnoticed by the soldiers. They all started coming out of cover and opened fire, causing Sakura to return to cover. She tried to get her pistol to work but a loud buzzing sound drew her attention. Looking at her surroundings, she cursed herself. 'Fuck sticking here was a baaaad idea.' She thought with concern. She was taking cover in an extremely high voltage environment, and right now, the control panels and relays were riddled with bullet holes. A massive build up of power could be visibly seen. Shots to the head be damned, that much power could knock her out at best, utterly fry her systems at worse. She tried to run out the gate, but stumbled back as a powerful shot hit her mid section. Looking in the direction of the shot, she saw a soldier with a powerful sniper rifle. When she got back up, the sniper fired again, pushing her back further. By this time, the failing substation was critical. Sakura looked back. "Oh fuc-" She didn't get to finish as a massive electrical explosion erupted. Her entire body jolted and jerked violently as thousands of volts ran though her systems. Her eyes grayed out, as she fell to the ground. The soldiers quickly surrounded her, one of them were bout to fire off a spiteful shoot to her head but was pushed back.

"Back off greenhorn." The older soldier ordered.

"What the does it matter? She's already dead, and I want payback for what she did to Mike."

"So she killed your little friend. Tough. This is the life you and your pal chose kid. Friends die and the only way to make sure it doesn't happen is to not have any to begin with." The older soldier said. "Other than that we've been told to bring her in alive."

"But she's dead!" The greenhorn said, nearly jumping out of his skin when a series of clicks and gibberish came out of Sakura's mouth followed by several spasms.

"Just as I thought. Something like this couldn't outright kill her. Get her back to the ship she managed to call in back up before we could set up another jamming device we better move it."

10 Minutes Later…

Naruto along with some of Aria's men made it to the back up power station to find everything to be severely damaged. After careful searching, Naruto found splatters of Sakura's nanites on the fenced sub-station. He quickly pieced together what happened, Sakura was taken away.

A/N: Here is the next chapter. Wanted to post this from a few weeks ago but an issue popped up that made it impossible. I've been getting one or two Pms regarding Sakura being OP, the truth is I never had her being OP in mind and I still don't, as you can see here, she's anything but invincible. This combat scene was not what I would call satisfactory, but I aim to make the combat in the next chapter better. Until next time happy reading.
