Homecoming –
Nako Turlee straightened her slim shoulders back, adjusted her green ponytail over her shoulder and then adjusted her pink skirt and tunic one more time before leaving her new quarters to assemble with the rest of the new weapon assemblers. The young girl merged with the long line of young females quietly rushing to the gathering chamber ahead. Nako brushed a stray lock of green hair out of her lovely face, and then moved into place in the third row of the assembly. The group of girls stood silently at attention, their pink clothing spotless and orderly. A tall woman entered the chamber, and then walked proudly to the podium placed on a raised dais in front of the assembled girls. The woman was dressed in a neat pink business jacket, white blouse, and knee-length skirt. Silky black hose covered her long legs, while her feet were encased in polished black stiletto heels. The older woman slid her right hand over her slicked-back raven hair that ended in a tightly coiled ponytail.
"Good morning, ladies. My name is Eva and I will be your supervisor as you begin your first day on the assembly line. Our manager, Mr. Claw, has placed a great deal of faith in every one of you. I expect you to live up to Mr. Claws' expectations and perform your duties efficiently and quickly. The mid quarter is almost upon us, we have to meet our production deadlines. Now go to your individual team leaders and make the best tools for our fellow Kanegakure Nin, that you can," said the older woman crisply.
The gathered girls broke from their orderly lines to proceed to their work assignments. Nako left the chamber, traveled down several long hallways, and then descended one level to the electronics assembly area. The petite girl approached her team leader, a stern old woman named Sharon.
"Who are you?" snapped Sharon when she saw Nako approaching.
"My name is Nako. I'm a grade six assembler," replied the green-maned girl quickly. At age fourteen Nako had just finished with her classes to become a Pink Delmo, in the field of making and repairing the equipments that the upper rank Delmo's uses in the field. She wasn't that good in healing people while she was taking the medical classes.
"Grade six? A beginner, huh? Go over to section thirteen to screw on case lids," ordered Sharon with an abrupt raising of her right arm.
Nako nodded her acceptance, and then hastily went to the indicated post. She picked up a motorized screwdriver from the small worktable in front of her, and then fastened screws into the case holes of the camera casing that rolled in front of her and stopped. Nako barely got all the screws in place before the camera rolled away to her left to be replaced by another unsealed unit. The beautiful young girl screwed the second case into place, slowly learning a style that allowed her to move smoothly from one unit to the next. Dozens, then hundreds of cameras passed beneath Nako, the repetitive procedure making her mind fuzzy and unfocused as she screwed the same holes again and again with her motorized screwdriver.
"Nako," a voice behind her spoke suddenly making her jump from the surprise.
The woman standing before her has a fair complexion like and knee-length dark brown hair that she tied in a fish-tail style with a red tie. The young Pink Delmo knew who she was very well having been her tutor during their time the ninja school. At age twenty, Tifa Lockheart was very beautiful. She was 5' 6" tall, weighed 115 lbs, and had unbelievable measurements. Her 38 inch breasts with a slender well developed build that accented her bust. Her waist was 22 inches and her cute butt was 36. She wore a grey color suit that did well to hide her lust figure underneath the confines of the leather vest she wore underneath her jacket and her long legs with the loose slacks she wore. She is skilled in martial arts and uses her fists and legs as her weapons.
"Tifa what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be making out with Cloud?" Nako ask, "Last that I heard both of you had joined with the Turks."
The name Turks is the unofficial nickname of the Investigation Division of the General Affairs Department of the Delmo army. They perform covert operations on behalf of the royal family, including espionage, kidnappings and assassinations. They also scout for potential candidates for Delmos elite Gold and Silver units, they also serve as bodyguards for the queen. Becoming a member of the Turks is something the very few people have the ability to become as they are hand picked by the leader of the Turks who's been the husband of the current Queen. Their numbers are always thirteen, with the members of the Turks always being couples so that there's never any lone member who could betray them as the wives would always be watchful of their husbands. The kunoichis who gain membership must first be married as the royal family wants the members to have strong bonds and for the husbands to feel the need to defend their new homes. And the fact that all husbands within the top ranking army and government who have active roles all have special jutsu seals place on them, so that their wives can feel what they're feeling and know where they are at all times. Also meaning that the husbands can't hide anything from their wives, meaning that the husband can't go and cheat on her without her finding out. (1)
"The chief ask me and the others to gather some of the young new Delmo's from each rank for an important assignment," Tifa answers her old trainee, "I couldn't think of anyone else. Also Aerith had him for the afternoon which means he should have made it to headquarters by now if she went easy on him that is. And yes both, me and Cloud are now members of Turks."
"Good for you too," Nako said to her friend, "But my shift isn't over yet."
"Don't worry," Tifa said as she took the drill from her hands, "After this you won't be working here anymore. I got you a new position where someone as friendly as you are will be of great help." Before Nako could say anything else she was picked up by Tifa who ran out of the building with Nako screaming for her to slow down.

In the office of the Turks in the castle –
An old man with short gray hair wearing a grey suit sat behind a large desk with papers stack on top of it. He is Hunrok Delmo the husband of Carline Delmo the Queen of the Land of Metal, father of Kikko and the grandfather of Natruto. In his sixties the same as his wife, he's in good condition as he kept his body in good shape over the years, the same with his wife. Before him are the members of the Turks which he's been in charge of ever since he first came to this land after meeting Carline when she was being escorted through the Land of Stone where he had lived. He was a laid back guy even back than when he was still young, which cause Carline to lose her temper when they had gotten into an argument over a card game, which he had won, and using smart comebacks on her didn't help matters either. She and her escort left the following morning after she had order her guards to teach him a lesson, which ended with most of the inn destroyed in the following fight. And he had somehow managed to grab Carline's family crest that she kept around her neck. In short he traveled to the Land of Metal where he had given back her family crest, and somehow during his time in the castle he had gotten himself married to her, after he found out he had broken into the castle to give back the princess crest which he had only thought was a staff member of the castle up till then.
"Alright people once Tifa gets back we can start," Hunrok said to the current members of the Turks all dress in uniformed grey color suits who have all but one had gotten here with their missions completed.
Tseng Rockcus is the stern but polite and calm, second in command of the Turks, he has long, black hair and what appears to be a tilak in the middle of his forehead. Though he is still young, he has been an active member of the Turks for more than five years now. His combat skills are in using razor sharp steel wires, able to cut into flesh and bones like a hot knife through butter. Before he got married he was in charge of managing the castle guards, he had came here looking for a position in the army when his combat skills caught the eye of the Queen's husband who place him into managing the defensives of the castle. When he finally got married he was soon place into the Turks.
His wife is Elena Rockcus, is in her late twenties with short, blonde hair and brown eyes. Before she joined the group, she was a high school student whose father was a teacher in the Military Academy and whose older sister and husband were members of the Turks, before stepping down from their positions when she and her husband wanted to start a family. Though she resented and wanted no contact with her sister and the other Turks for outperforming her in their status, an encounter with them convinced her to join the group. Elena is naive, impetuous and somewhat overeager, with a loose tongue that sometimes causes her to inadvertently reveal secret information. She takes her job much more seriously than the rest of the team do, and also becomes quite frustrated with their casual, lay back attitudes. As in her words "How in the world you people a bunch of slackers and misfits ever became Turks, I'll never know." But with Hunrok in command of the Turks he likes how the members act as they would be too hardcore otherwise.
Cloud Lockheart who had taken his wife's clan name, his appearance is marked by spiky blonde hair, vivid blue eyes. He doesn't look it but he's really strong as he wields a buster blade in battle. Judging from its relative size compared to the 5' 7" Cloud, it must be over a foot in width and at least five feet in length. And he swings it around like it's a normal size sword. He is also married to two wives as sometimes two of the Delmo women would fall for the same guy, and instead of fighting over him they just share him. That way the wives whenever their husband try to do something they don't like, they can gang up on him making the punishment ever worse since there's more then one angry wife breathing down the guys neck. And from the way he's breathing and the sweat still covering his forehead he must have just came back from one of his workout sessions with his other wife Aerith who's part of the Pink Delmos since she always did like wearing pink.
Seifer Almasy has short blond hair, green eyes, and a scar across his forehead. He has like Cloud recently joined the Delmo clan. Although Seifer is a gifted warrior, he has a stubborn, arrogant, reckless and unpredictable nature. He uses a one handed sword in battle. He's uses fire type jutsus and combines them with his sword making the blade red hot as it cuts into the flesh of his opponents, the red hot metal burning shut the blood vessels before the blood could start pouring out making him ideal for covert operations, since when he kills with his sword he doesn't leave and blood behind.
His wife is Fujin Almasy is a young woman with pale skin, short silver hair, and an eye patch. She is incredibly dedicated to her duty in protecting her homeland and to the Turks. Fujin speaks in single-word sentences, which she normally yells. These pronouncements typically summarize her emotional state or declare pejorative statements, for example "RAGE!" and "LIES!" are all she says. In battle Fujin wields a chakram, which she throws at her opponents, and using a return jutsu has it fly back to her after it hits something.
Raijin Tilmitt is a strong looking member of the Turks he and his wife usually team up with Seifer and Fujin. He is a very laid back and rather slow-witted person. Whenever he and his wife Selphie appears together Selphie is clearly the one in charge and the one who does all the talking. He always ends his sentences with 'ya know,' and sometimes opts out of explaining difficult things. In battle Raijin uses a long staff with two large battering weights on either end.
His wife who he had taken her family name, Selphie Tilmitt is spunky, hyper, and somewhat childish, Selphie seems misplaced as part of an elite military academy, but she is actually a valuable asset to the party. She is highly talented with machinery. She wields oversized nunchaku in battle and lets her husband tear into the enemy first before she steps in. Despite her girlish demeanor, she also shows flashes of a subtle bloodthirsty streak and an unexpectedly black sense of humor.
Reno Trepe is a prominent member of the Turks with a lanky physique, unkempt red hair terminating in a long ponytail and two symmetrical red marks on his cheek bones (apparently tattoos, though popularly believed to be scars). He is always seen wearing goggles on his forehead, an unzipped suit jacket and an untucked dress shirt. He is cocky, cynical, and somewhat lazy, but is highly skilled and takes great pride in his work. His fighting skills are obviously far above the level of a normal ninjas as he can hold his own against a group of Gold Delmo's. In battle, he wields a retractable metallic rod which can deal electric shocks.
His wife is Quistis Trepe while serving as a Turk is also an instructor at the ninja academy when she isn't on a mission. She wears glasses and is in her early twenties but acts more mature than her husband. She is widely admired by the students of the academy she works at while she isn't on missions, and even has a fan club known as the 'Trepies'. She's one of the top jutsus users in the Land of Metal, making her having to stay back as her husband protects her while doing jutsus. She also uses a whip both in battle and making her slacker husband move his lazy butt into gear.
The last two members are Rude Go, a tall, naturally bald, dark skin man with a slight goatee. He always wears sunglasses and carries spare pairs with him. Rude is rarely seen without his long-time partner, Reno who they had work together before meeting their wives, and is rather taciturn, tending to relegate the talking to Reno. Rude is a superb physical combatant and prefers to use his fists in battle. He's slow but he has the strength to smash his way through walls with ease and can take more damage to his body then most others can.
His wife is Paine Go, a swordwoman. She has silver hair and red eyes thanks to her clans bloodline which allows her see in anything even in pitch black darkness. She doesn't speak much only saying what she needs to get her point across. Her skill with the blade is so great that she can deflect anything that is thrown at her with one swing of her sword. Her sword is a long double-edge that's colored black to make it harder to be seen at night, giving her the nickname 'Blackblade'.
And standing in front of his desk are six young girls all near his grandsons age. They're what he had sent the Turks out to do when he and his wife received a message of the Gold Delmo's that were sent to bring their grandson to them, were coming back with him. He would have sent the Turks out with them but all of them where on other missions and the ones that weren't on mission weren't allowed to go. His wife had told him that the Gold Delmo's she had sent would be able to complete the mission as she had sent their late daughters personal bodyguard Setsuna, who had taken their daughter's running away as hard as they as they were close a sisters. He knew with her she wouldn't comeback without her friends son with her.
The girls in front of him are all from different Delmo ranks. He had look over the files of each of them when the Turks had reported in their findings. The first is Erica Fontaine of the Green Delmo's. A thirteen-year old teenager who works as a priestess when she isn't doing work as a Delmo. When she was young, her parents died in a fire accident and she survives when she accidentally uses her bloodline power of making an energy shield around her. She went off to live in a temple to live as a priestess to learn how to control her bloodline better as well as starting her schooling in the ninja academy. Years had passed by and she made a lot of mistakes in the temple due to her misunderstanding and clumsiness. Some of which is that she once cleans the sanctuary and in the end, one of the statues was shined into pieces, when she was in charge in plucking out of the grass near the church, she plucks out the flower bed too and when she was in charge of the cooking, the misfortunes became more miserable after tasting her cooking. Due to the reason, she was actually asked to leave the convent but due to her misunderstanding and impression of the head-priests saying, she stayed there for six more months, before she signed up to become a Kanegakure Nin. She is quite skilled in using bows and crossbows rarely missing a target.
Glycine Bleumer of the Orange Delmos, a rich noble daughter from the Bleumer family. At age sixteen she is already showing the signs of what kind of beauty she will be when she gets older. The Bleumer family have always been supporters of the Delmo royal family both in fighting and business affairs. She inherited her father's massive strength which she users as she's the only one in her class who uses a halberd which she gotten from her father as a gift in battle.
Lobelia Carlini who before she join the Purple Delmo's was a thief. She's actually a former prisoner who was sentence to a thousand years and later stated her death statement due to her crimes like stealing jewels and arts and destroying public property. Because of eighty percent of the incidents was her doing, she earns the title for the greatest thief in the Land of Metal. All before she was sixteen and the reason why she was offer to become a Purple Delmo because of her great speed. Her trademark weapons are the chains she keeps in her coat she always wears over her Delmo uniform.
Kitaoji Hanabi of the Blue Delmo's a very quiet and shy fifteen-year old girl. Because that her father, Kitaoji Masamichi, made many dealings with the House of Bleumer, Glycine was taking care of her while they were both in school together. They have been friends since then. She's also quite skilled in using a long bow and rarely misses her target. She and Glycine always work as a team with Glycine attacking head on and Kitaoji giving support fire.
Gemini Sunrise of the Yellow Delmo's an outgoing twelve-year old girl. She grew up on the farm her family runs in the grasslands around the city. She learned how to ride a horse before she learned how to walk. She uses a lance in battle as she always goes out with her horse Butterscotch making her a very powerful mounted fighter. She and her horse portals the streets of the city making it easy for her to get through crowded streets sitting on her horse. They move as one and even Gold Delmos found the skills they show impressive.
Then there's Coquelicot Nakura the youngest at the age of ten and of the Black Delmo's. She use to work and lives with an amusement park. She was always seen collecting leftovers in the town market and treating the amusement park animals as her friends. She's takes care of the animals in the pens of the Delmo campus, while taking care of the jobs she's hired for as the Black Delmos are basically the cities workforce. Since there are way more women in the city then men all of the young girls in the city all go through school learning the basic skills of a ninja like a gym class gaining the ranks of Black Delmos when they finish school, so that all of the women of the city know how to fight and those who want to can either become normal citizens or become full ninjas.
"Hi guys sorry, I'm late!" Tifa shouted as she enters the room making the Turks chuckle as her husband Cloud lowers his head mumbling to himself, "Got the last member right here!" She pulls Nako into the room by her arm placing her in front of their King.
"All of you must be wondering why you all have been brought here today?" Hunrok ask them.
"Yeah tell us!" Coquelicot shouted as she lifts herself on the desk as she could barely see past the top. Making the older women in the room saying how cute she is.
"As you must have all heard about my grandson Naruto is going to be brought back to his homeland right?" he asked them.
All of the girls in front of him nodded but for Coquelicot was still trying to get a good view of her King. "No, I didn't."
"Well he is," Hunrok said looking at Coquelicot whose resting her chin on his desk, "The reason you all have been brought here is that, all of you have been hand pick by the Turks who pick you out of all the young candidates. You all will become my grandson servants when he arrives as well as his bodyguards. The reason why older girls weren't picked is because me and my wife want you all to become his friends which older girls would find it difficult to do since he's still twelve and needs to have kids around his own age."
"That sounds fun!" Coquelicot shouted out. The other girls all mutter to themselves as what this would mean to them and their families. As Naruto is the first male to be born in this village who carries the same bloodline as all of them do. Making him the first prince of the Land of Metal, the first time since the ninja clan and royal family had joined together hundreds of years ago.
"What will our jobs be?" Glycine ask as she wonders what her family will think when they find out about this. Her mother will think it's disgraceful for a member of the Bleumer to serve someone, but knowing her grandmother the head of the family she'll go for it as this is the first time that there's a chance that the Bleumer family are able to marry into the royal family as up till now there hasn't been any males born in either family. Which means with her as his servant she'll have a position where she can become engage to the new prince allowing the two powerful families to join together.
"And how much does it pay?" Lobelia asked wondering what kind of job would need someone of her talents for.
"You'll have the same wages as the Gold Delmo's and all of you have talents that the Turk have seen in either defending Naruto from harm or how well you get along with others. Also to become his friends as from the reports he has none in the Leaf Village," Hunrok explains.
"I will serve your grandson with all my heart," Nako said as this would mean a lot to her family.
"And don't worry I'm sure we will become friends!" Gemini shouted out wondering if the prince knows how to ride a horse.
"I'll do my best!" Erica said as she slams her hands on the desk and knocking a paper weight off making it fly through the air, hitting a cabinet sending the books in it falling out right on top of Reno and Rudo who were quickly buried underneath a pile of books. Everyone in the room look at Erica who simply replied with an, "Oops."
"Does that also mean we have to sleep with him?" Kitaoji ask nervously. She knows that some of the older girls talk freely about sleeping with guys in the surrounding villages and towns, since they don't have to worry about becoming pregnant until the seals on their stomachs are removed.
"No nothing like that," Hunrok said waving her off, "You're all way too young for that kind of thing."
"Hey now that's something, I wouldn't mind," Reno said as his wife was helping him out from under the pile of books. Paine had already pulled Rudo free from the pile of books.
"Oh really now?" Quistis ask as she looks coldly at him. She tips the cabinet down making it fall right on top of him, causing him to cry out in pain as it began crushing him. And making sure he wasn't going anywhere she sat down on it trapping her husband under it, "I'm not good enough for you?" Causing the most of the people in the room to laugh as this is something that happens between them all the time. Some have gotten the idea that the only reason Quistis had married Reno was that she likes hitting him when he does something stupid, that always happens at least once a week.
"Selphie take these girls over to the storage room and show them their new uniforms," Hunrok ask her.
"Alright follow me girls," Selphie said to the young girls leading them out of the room.
"Hunrok what's the real reason you called us here for?" Tseng ask as he knows that this isn't just about finding the right girls to help ease the changes that Naruto will face once he becomes the crown prince.
"Yes you're right this is more then just finding some playmates for my grandson," Hunrok said, "I want all of you to head out to the Land of Fire and recover any documents the Leaf village has on my daughter and her family. I want nothing left for them to trace back to us or have any information they can use against us."
"We will have it done," Tseng said as all the members smack their right hand on their chest, expect for Reno who still pleading with his wife to let him go.
"By the way, I have been wondering ya know," Raijin spoke up, "If all the past commanders of the Turks have been the husbands of the queen who will be in command when Naruto becomes king ya know?" Everyone in the room blink as Raijin has asked a good question for once.
Hunrok nodded as he and his wife had talked about this, "The next leader of the Turks is whoever becomes his wife."
"I hope whoever she is she doesn't act like the women I know," Reno chuckles making all the women in the room to glare at him.
"Hold it!" Quistis shouted as she saw the female members about to pounce on her husband, "If anyone is going to smack him around it's going to be me!" She adjust her glasses as she took out her whip as her husband Reno sweated as she smiles wickedly down upon him.

High above in the sky –
"There it is the Queendom where your mother was born at," Setsuna said as she's on the deck of the ship as they came within sight of the central city of Metal, Ironmount.
The city is a walled city but the city had soon out grown the walls and had spread out beyond the confines of the wall that separated the old part of the city from the newer city. The city sat on four major trade routes of the Western Lands making it very rich in trade and political power. There are many waterways and fountains in the city making it easy to transport objects through the city and gave the city a clean drinking supply. The entire city is made from stonework making fires rare in the city and all the streets of the city are cobblestone roads making it a beautiful city to visit.
"That's nice," Naruto said softly as he sat in the chair place on the deck for him doing nothing more than staring at the horizon.
"Naruto," Setsuna whispered as she doesn't like how Naruto is becoming as all he does ever since she and her team had taken him from the Leaf village is sat around doing nothing. She blames herself for what's happening to him as she was the one who told him everything about his life that was hidden from him all at once, making his already unstable mind at the time more unstable. She only hopes that there's a way to help him break free from the deep depression he's in now. All of the ships crew are always watching him as he might try to end his life as he's that far now.
"We'll be landing shortly all crew must be inside the ship as we land," Kim voice said over the loudspeakers.
"Come on let's go inside and get you ready to meet your grandparents," Setsuna said as she helps him to his feet.
"Alright," Naruto said as he walks into the ship with Setsuna holding his hand. In his mind he wonders what he's going to be expected to do once he becomes the crown prince of this strange new land. Something about this place makes him feel like he's someplace that makes him feel safe and warm, a place to call home. And if this place is just like the Leaf… well there's only one choice left for him then.
