I don't own Naruto or Mass Effect. This is a fanfiction only.
Naruto looked at him and then looked at David. "See I told you that I shouldn't let your relative write my life story. Inspirational to the youth my eye. Yes, Nihlus, I am the sage of the six paths, in fact, I am the last sage of the six paths that will ever exist."
Nihlus looked at him a little confused, "I think you will have to explain that to me."
Naruto looked at him and he just decided to activate his eyes, just to make sure he didn't lie to him. The effect was not one that he intended, he was shocked to see his eyes change like they did.
"I am a ninja, and my people use an energy we make within our bodies called Chakra, it is the union of spiritual and physical energy. Spiritual from our learning and experience, and Physical from out physical strength. The thing is humanity lost the ability to use Chakra thousands and thousands of years ago."
"My worst enemy tried to steal all the chakra in the world, and I would say he almost succeeded, but by the time I stopped him. Every ninja in my word was dead, and he overloaded and died too. I remained alive because I was using Natural Energy at the time."
Naruto looked at him and saw he understood what he was saying, "So in your last battle you pretty much saw the death of your entire civilization, the death of every person you ever loved or cared about. It's a wonder that did not lose your mind after that."
Naruto remembered those days and laughed as he saw him looked concerned. "In truth, it was the most painful thing in my life, but people still needed help. Without the ninja villages, they ended up relying on me for everything. You be surprised how quickly you recover from something that traumatizing if you are too busy to think about it."
Nihlus began to nod his head. "True, as a Spectre we do see the worst this galaxy can offer. Indeed keeping busy does in fact help. Turns out I was correct in my initial decision of have you join the Spectres."
Naruto looked David, I guess his surprise was clearly showing on his face. "Naruto, relax. This is why he has been following you around. He was just evaluating you to as a prospect candidate to the Spectres."
Naruto looked at him and then at David. "Look, David, I think we need to call Karin in here. Nihlus must be feeling ill if he a turian is actually saying he wants a human in the Specters."
Nilhus began laughing out loud as he heard Naruto say this. "I am not ill, or hallucinating Naruto. Not every turian hates humanity you know. Your handling of that pirate fleet single-handed and knowing you have so many years of experience. I would be insane not to want you to join the Specters."
"It is a tough job, but hearing what you been through I think you can do it. Specters are the right-hand of the Council, defenders of galactic peace, the first and last line of defense. This mission shall be a true honor, to see the sage of the six paths in action with my own eyes."
Naruto guessed it was about time we got to the heart of the matter. "What shall we do about this beacon? I have a feeling that we aren't the only ones that would be interested in getting our hands on a working prothean beacon."
Nihlus again seemed to agree with me, "Yes, I have much the same feelings. The planet where the beacon was found is on the system that borders the Terminus Systems. I suspect much like you that some people in the Terminus might want to get their hands on that beacon."
David didn't like where this was going. "Eden Prime is under the protection of the Citadel Council, trying to attack Eden Prime is an act of war. They wouldn't be as foolish as to start a war when all three Council races could pretty much win that war without even trying too hard."
Naruto was shaking his head as he heard what his friend said. "Without the archives from Mars humanity would have never left our own solar system. Who knows what this beacon may hold. If it contains any military grade information they might risk going to war to get their hands on it."
David didn't like where we were going with our line of thought since he ordered Joker to as he said it, put the pedal to the metal. I still don't know why he is still saying that. Cars have gone complete computerized and there was no longer any peddles in any of the current vehicles.
Kind of explains why driving the Mako was such a pain. The darn thing made horseback riding a joy, at least when there were any horses. Shame that they went extinct due to overpopulation, and the excessive use of pesticides.
We got to Eden Prime at such speed that I nearly saw the clock slow down for a bit there. The team was going to consist of me, Alenko and of course Nihlus. There was no way in hell I was taking that private with me. He was a little too hungry for a promotion and that made him reckless.
Just as we touched down Naruto looked at them and tried to not to scare them too much. Alenko and Nihlus never saw anyone try to do what he was about to do.
"There is too much ground to cover and very little time. Our people could already be under attack. So I am going to do something, try not to become scared when I do."
Alenko was about to ask what did Naruto mean when he did a single hand sign and looked to him like a smoke screen had been used. When the smoke cleared, thirty exact copies of Naruto stood around them. Just as Nihlus was going to ask, they took off in different directions.
"As soon as one of the clones gets hit hard enough we will know exactly what we are up against, and they will keep the civilian and military casualties low. Don't look so surprised Nihlus, I did this to save that colony."
Naruto had one of them pretend he was Nihlus and the rest pretended to be regular citizens for the most part.
"If you were going to steal a highly valuable piece of tech what would you do? Would you attack a garrison of Marines by yourself? I don't think so. I am guessing they are going to have plenty of troops, in order to have the advantage."
"The spaceport should be pretty close from here, but I want to check the dig sight just in case."
Alenko looked surprised as Nihlus said that. Naruto had no objections to that plan of action. We both decided to let me be the forwards on our formation. Good thing too because several Geth jumped down from a tree to ambush us. Naruto sent a fire Jutsu at each making them several slugs of molten metal.
Naruto because dizzy a short moment after that, my teammates helped me keep my footing, "Nihlus would you say you are good friends with Saren Arcturus?" Nihlus looked at me and nodded his head.
"As a matter of fact, we are good friends. We practically grew up together, we were both from the same settlement after all. We are as close as brothers if you must know. Why did you need to ask Naruto? Are you a fan? Want an autograph?"
Alenko was laughing as Nihlus said that, "Well if he doesn't, I sure do."
Naruto looked at them and he was not as amused as they were. "I asked because my clones sent me back their memories. We just saved the 212, and your brother Nihlus pretty much would have shot you in the back had you gone one ahead by yourself. In short, I just saved your life, your welcome by the way."
As we got to the last location of the 212 we saw that more Geth was headed their way, but they also had one of those armature class units. I decided that I needed to get rid of them before they reached the Marines.
"Alenko Lift that armature Geth, I will take care of the rest." I took out several dozen kunai and began throwing them at the other Geth as Nihlus blasted the tank size Geth floating in the air.
They never expected the weapons he threw to stick, the Geth we machines after all. What they didn't expect was what he had planned. He decided to use the flight of the thunder god that my dad invented.
Naruto went from one kunai to the next killing one Geth after another, as soon as the last Geth was destroyed he held his hand up and with some lightning chakra caused all the weapons he threw to come back to his hand.
"I can't tell you how happy I am to see you, sir. Ashley Williams of the 212, you and your team pretty much saved my squad. Those things killed a group of soldiers and they burst into nothing before our eyes, that probably will be the most traumatic thing we ever saw."
Naruto walked up to her and looked at his unit, "We don't have time to sit and do a proper introduction, suffice to say we got a ton of Geth and a lot of civilians to keep safe. You Williams will come with me, You are most familiar with the layout of this community. Get rearmed and restocked cause we are headed into the hornet's nest people. Time to move out!"
Sure enough, they had to fight some created that made Alenko and Ashley glad they didn't have anything to eat before this, they looked like electrically infused zombies, and they came from the weird spikes that they saw several soldiers impaled on.
Naruto had a bad feeling about this, "So they are using our dead against us, they aren't just happy killing our soldiers, they want to use them so they defiled their corpses. Somehow I feel I was too kind with those Geth we fought before."
"Then again for all, I know these things upload their program to a safe place and later download themselves on a new platform. So, in reality, we didn't kill any Geth at all. Enough philosophy lets's find the scientist and I hope that we can get some answers about the beacon."
Naruto had to agree with Nihlus, this was wasted time anyways. They needed answers and they needed them now. As Naruto walked over to one of the toolsheds in the complex he saw that it was code locked.
"Naruto I think we will find our scientist behind this code locked door, do you want me to try and hack the door?" For a second he looked at him and Nihlus looked at Ashley looking at Alenko like he spoke the most boring answer she could imagine to this problem.
Naruto walked over to the keypad and decided to try his luck with the single dumbest code he could possibly imagine. "Let me give a try first Alenko, you can try if my attempt fails."
He began punching numbers in order and sure enough, the door opened, Naruto could not believe the code opened the door. "You have got to be kidding me, who is dumb enough to use this code to lock a door that is supposed to keep you safe. I mean the code was 1,2,3,4,5. I kid you not that was the door code."
Ashley looked at them and began shaking her head, "That is the single dumbest code I ever heard, it sound like the code an idiot would have on his luggage." Naruto, Nihlus, and Alenko could not stop nodding their heads in absolute agreement.
"Humans thank the maker, come on it before more of those things show up again!"
Naruto walked over to the woman and smiled, "Don't worry we took care of them, you are safe."
"Thank the maker, we been hiding ever since those things showed up, we been to scare to move until you showed up."
"Agents of our destruction, Heralds of our extinction."
Naruto looked at the guy and he could tell something was wrong with this guy.
"What is wrong with your friend?"
"Manuel has a brilliant mind, some say madness and genius are two sides of the same coin."
Manuel looked at them, "Is it mad to see the end coming towards us, to know that there is no escape, that we are all doomed? No, I am not mad, I am the only sane one left."
Nihlus decided to get involved in this weird little conversation, "We were told you found a prothean beacon what can you tell us about it?"
The woman seems to relax being able to talk about something she knew about, "It is a beacon part of a galaxy-wide communication network, who knows what secrets are inside, technological marvels, scientific breakthroughs."
"We have awoken the heart of evil, unleashed the darkness."
Naruto just about had it with Manuel's gloom and doom prophecies so he walked over to him. "Say good night Manuel."
"You can't silence the truth, My voice must be heard." Naruto knocked him out with a single punch and Nihlus smiled as the obviously unhinged person came crashing down on the floor of the shed.
"You can't go around knocking people on the head!"
"That might be a little much Commander." Naruto looked at Alenko and then at the lady scientist.
"He was incoherent and I did the best to keep you safe. It will prevent him from doing something stupid and dangerous that could end up killing both of you."
The woman looked at her colleague and smiled, "Well it might be for the better, the medicines he took might kick in by the time he wakes up."
