The Queen of the Second Legion

Chapter 1

A Cry that Resounded throughout the Imperium

145.925.M41, Uncharted World. Eastern Fringe.

Reiko Uzumaki pants as she faces down Sasuke Uchiha, once an ordinary boy, know corrupted by the second stage of his Curse Mark, she frowns as she faces the monstrosity that was the one she hoped would be her brother. As she pants, pushed even to her abnormal limitations due to being a Jinchūriki, tears begin to stream from her eyes. Golden energy begins to emanate from Reiko and on her back two ethereal wings shaped like an angel's form.

"Sasuke!" Reiko shouts as she coalesces the energy into a Rasengan in her right hand.

"Reiko!" Sasuke growls savagely as a Habataku Chidori (Flapping One Thousand Birds) crackles into existence around his right hand.

Reiko lunges forwards, unaware of the golden sword shaped energy forming in her left hand. Sasuke charges forwards unable to slow himself due to the use of the Habataku Chidori.

The Rasengan deflects the Habataku Chidori away from her heart, but it still plunges into her chest severely damaging her left lung. Sasuke gasps in pain as the golden energy sword cuts into his abdomen. Wreathed in golden energy Sasuke staggers back screaming as the energy burns at the corrupted energies of the Curse Mark.

Reiko badly injured, barely able to breathe, screams in terror even as the power hidden in her Genetic Data awakens. A scream that is heard throughout the Imperium of Man. A scream that slays thousands of demons within the Warp.

"Father, Save Me"

145.925.M41, Terra, Imperial Palace, The Golden Throne.

Upon the Holy World of Terra, within the Grand Imperial Palace, the scream is heard. Outside the doors to the Golden Throne, a hush falls over the thousands gathered before the doors. The Throne damaged by millennia of use, lights up as potent energy fills it, repairing some of the damage done to it. The Adeptus Custodes fall to their knees in reverence as the body of the God-Emperor surges with Psychic Energy.

For one brilliant moment the Emperor in all his glory manifests once again upon the Material Plane. He simply says five words "I am here, My Daughter" The members of the Ecclesiarchy and their pilgrims fall to their knees outside the doors of the Golden Throne as the Emperor's voice is heard.

A cry quickly goes throughout the Imperium, a cry for a Crusade, a Crusade to find the one known as the Emperor's Daughter.

TQSL

145.925.M41, Uncharted Space, four point three light-years to the Galactic South-West of Reiko's Homeworld. Forgeship 'Nocturne's Fury'

Floating through space, a unique warship awakens. Within the warship dozens of forges power up and several dozen Adeptus Astartes awaken from stasis. But in a larger than normal stasis pod another being awakens. Sleeping for millennia, a ancient warrior who had fought with the Emperor during the days of the Great Crusade. The Primarch of the Eighteenth Space Marine Legion, Vulkan. The Primarch steps forth from his stasis pod, the cry having awoken even him. With but a glance at a nearby Cogitator Terminal, he knows that his legion has not found the Relics he left, but he does note a message. He opens the message only to freeze in surprise. The one who sent the message was his father, the Emperor.

Vulkan didn't even hesitate, he activates the Vox equipment within his helm and starts giving commands "Shipmaster Venerix, bring the ship up to full functionality and prepare the Warp Engines, Navigator Fellanor there should be some sort of beacon within five light-years similar to the Astronomican, lock on to it and chart a course. Captain Relan, prepare the Salamanders, we have a mission from the Emperor himself"

Instantaneously answer return from the Vox net.

"Aye sir" from Shipmaster Venerix.

"Understood" from the Navigator.

"His will be done" from Captain Relan.

Vulkan heads towards the Armory to collect his weapons as only his sword was in the stasis pod with him

Konohagakure no Sato, Shinobi Hospital, Sealed Room Seven.

Within the sprawling underground confines of the Shinobi Hospital within each of the Five Great Villages, there are specially reinforced rooms capable of holding even S-Rank Shinobi should they be mentally damaged by an attack. These rooms are also the best place to perform surgeries that require secrecy or absolute cleanliness as they are reinforced by seals and have other specialized seals within that kill all hostile bacteria upon entry. Thus even if the door is wide open nothing dangerous (Biologically speaking) can enter the room. Each Shinobi Genin team has their own room and there are several dozen for Jounin and Chunin as well as five for the ANBU.

Within the Sealed Room Seven Reiko Uzumaki lies unconscious on a bed in the middle of the room, the two best doctors/medics in the village, Tsunade and Shizune stand over her Tsunade on her right and Shizune by her head. On the wall opposite Tsunade is a specialized screen made of incredibly complex seals that is capable of many miracles of medicine that even the Emperor himself knew not of when he walked the Material Realm.

Currently Tsunade is scanning the Gene-Seed growths within Reiko that are beginning to awaken her true nature as the Primarch of the Second Legion. Unbeknownst to the modern Space Marines and even most of the ones present during the Great Crusade, the Gene-Seed not only carries the genetic data of a Space Marine Chapter/Legion, but coded within the complex DNA spirals is also a wealth of information on the purpose of each Space Marine Gene-Seed Implant as well as instructions on how to implant them and the chemicals or therapies needed to fully make use of them.

Luckily for Tsunade the Seal Screen not only is displaying that information, but also translating it from High Gothic to Elemental Gothic (The special subset of Gothic spoken by the Shinobi World)

She shakes her head "Damn, what a fool I was. No wonder Reiko had problems learning, her mind hadn't finished developing yet. All because I stopped this Gene-Seed from doing what it was supposed to. I owe her for that, another debt it seems, oh well at least she is less vicious then the debt collectors"

Shizune meanwhile is staring in awe at the images and text on the Seal Screen "A-amazing, the complexity of it all. Reiko is… beyond us all, even at only a portion of her true nature. What will she be like when she fully develops?"

Tsunade shakes her head "I have no doubt that she will reach her dream, but in the meantime lets help out. Right now her problem is that she is lacking almost every implant, let's help out with that. We have the data so let's begin with the first three and see if she improves"

Shizune nods in agreement "That would be the Secondary Heart, the Ossmodula and the Biscopea" Shizune shakes her head "Strange names"

Tsunade snorts in amusement "They most likely have a meaning in the original language, Shizune. Now the Ossmodula will regulate her growth and needs to be placed at the base of her brain, near the pituitary gland and the Biscopea goes into her chest and will strengthen her bones and harden her ribs into a plate, Joy it won't be fun operating on her as more of these Implants are added if we keep going ahead"

TQSL

"Master, Reiko's condition is improving steadily, we should continue with the operation as soon as possible" Shizune reports.

Tsunade nods in agreement "Yes, so the presence of those Implants are helping her, I wonder would they have grown naturally if I hadn't blocked her Gene-Seed?"

Shizune nods sadly "I'm afraid so Master, according to the data they would have grown within a few months and she would be a fully grown adult within five years"

Tsunade is about to respond when Kakashi and Jiraiya walk in the door, Jiraiya immediately starts talking "What's going on with Reiko Tsunade? Why all this secrecy around her?"

Tsunade stares at the two men for a few seconds before sighing "Come on, I know that the two of you won't just drop this. I'd better show you myself, Shizune take care of this report would you? It needs to go to the Intel department"

The group walk out of her office together heading for the entrance while Shizune heads off in another direction. Tsunade leads to two men to the Shinobi Hospital which has special seals to prevent Shinobi from just Shunshining away if they wanted to escape. It also prevents assassins from entering via that manner as well.

Tsunade leads them past the reception and down into the warren of hidden rooms meant for serious injuries or maladies. She leads them to Sealed Room Seven, Tsunade turns to the duo and says "Now be very careful, Reiko has just had specialized surgery and will be somewhat more fragile than usual, even the fox can't repair what is happening"

Jiraiya and Kakashi look very concerned at that last comment, Jiraiya beats Kakashi to speaking however "What do you mean? How can the fox not repair what is happening?"

Tsunade sighs before ushering them into the room, before them Reiko lies on the bed with her usual red hair streaked with silvery-white locks, originally 4'9 Reiko has already grown to 5'3 and shows no signs of stopping. Tsunade turns to the men who both have expressions of shock on their faces and says "While you might of known that Kushina was pregnant, what you don't know was that the child was stillborn. When the fox attacked it revealed an absolutely ancient metal pod, within that pod, was Reiko, still alive after Kami knows how many centuries or millennia. Minato and Kushina used a blood adoption seal to make her resemble them and to give her their clan powers and traits. After the sealing I checked up on Reiko and found a strange genetic structure present, not knowing if it was safe or not I sealed it. If I hadn't done that Reiko would have reached full growth by the time she was three or four"

Tsunade sighs and looks at the shell-shocked Shinobi "Now when that idiot Uchiha stabbed Reiko with the lightning blade, he inadvertently broke the seal and awoke this data. Now however after having time to research it properly, I've found that Reiko was created by someone or something so far more advanced than us it isn't funny. Reiko's body is supposed to support nineteen Implants that would have grown with her had I not interfered. Currently she has four, one that grew when she regenerated from Sasuke's attack and three others that Shizune and I created from the information contained within her Gene-Seed as the special genetic data is called. Before Reiko is fully healed she'll likely need all nineteen Implants for her body to function properly again. Do you two understand now?"

Jiraiya nods slowly, he is saddened by the reminder of Minato and Kushina's deaths but composes himself. Then he frowns "You know what Danzo or the council would do with this information right? They'd either try forcing her to breed, kill her or try to copy and implant these 'Implants'"

Tsunade laughs loudly at that "Once the Implants have all been added, I don't think any amount of force would be enough to make Reiko do something against her will, killing her would also be tremendously difficult. As for stealing the Gene-Seed and creating the implants, it would have one of three outcomes, either it would kill the implanted Shinobi, drive them mad or even if they were to survive without a medic or doctor of my caliber watching over them, they would be genetically driven to be loyal to Reiko. That's coded into the very core of the Gene-Seed, and even I couldn't alter the Gene-Seed without massive complications, whoever created it was a genius. It's a masterpiece of genetic engineering and any attempt to alter it would be disastrous at best and apocalyptic at worst"

Jiraiya raises an eyebrow "Apocalyptic?"

Tsunade snorts in derision "Imagine an unstoppable army of insane superhumans bent on killing everyone and everything. That's the worst case outcome if someone messes around with the Gene-Seed, it's just too complex and contains too many dangerous sequences that if they aren't perfectly aligned as they were designed to be" Tsunade pauses in contemplation.

Jiraiya notices and asks "Tsunade, what aren't you telling us?"

Tsunade sighs in defeat "This Gene-Seed was based off of something, that much I can tell you. Whoever or whatever it is, they would be an opponent beyond out imagining. Our village hasn't treated Reiko as they should have, if her creator decides to get revenge for Reiko or Kami forbid Reiko asks it to. We might end up facing beings that even we cannot fight"

Jiraiya looks solemn but Kakashi snorts in derision "For what those monster tried to do to Reiko, they would deserve every bit of punishment this 'creator' would send against them"

Tsunade and Jiraiya don't object, they were thinking the exact same thing. Jiraiya huffs angrily "If it wasn't for Sensei I would have taken Reiko to another village, most likely Kumo, there she would have been respected. Hell they would have treated her as a Princess, the daughter of the Yellow Flash (adopted or not) and the Jinchūriki of the Kyūbi no Kitsune? She would have been treated royally and raised as their best and brightest Kunoichi"

Tsunade laughs in dark humor "Do you think Reiko would have gone to them willingly if she knew? They'd probably make her Raikage eventually, her skills, her adaptability, her legacy? There would be no contest"

Jiraiya shakes his head sadly as he looks at the unconscious form of Reiko Uzumaki "Except for Iwa and apparently Konoha, Reiko could have been the leader of any Shinobi Village, I find it sad that our most loyal Kunoichi, is also the most hated of all the Shinobi Konoha has"

TQSL

In orbit above the Shinobi World

Vulkan stares at the Augur before him. Aboard the bridge of the unique Forgeship, 'Nocturne's Fury' he stands. The Augur and the sight through the bridge windows shows the same thing. A beautiful garden world or perhaps feudal world, but that was not what had drawn him to the bridge, no the site that had drawn him to the bridge was the site of a Space Marine Battle Barge, heavily scarred and looking like it had seen fierce battle. Although thankfully there were no signs of the taint of Chaos present on the hull, just as he is about to order a Vox channel opened, his Vox operator shouts "Incoming Vox channel"

Vulkan connects his helm Vox to the channel and asks "Who is this?"

A voice with some static replies "Arden Mellatris Former Captain of the Third Company of the Flame Falcons Chapter, now I'm the Chapter Master" A sigh is heard "Of a no doubt doomed Chapter, are you here to complete the Inquisition's job?"

Vulkan frowns in anger, why did this Chapter Master sound so tormented "What job for the Inquisition, why are you and your Chapter being targeted?"

Arden's voice returns with slight hope present in his tone "We were fighting on Raffenburg's World in the Southern Rim, when members of our First Company started self-immolating for no apparent reason. Our commander sent for a Inquisitor that was present with the Imperial Guard, when he saw that the men were still alive and fighting with more ferocity then before, he called it a Miracle of the Emperor, the Inquisitor saw it differently. He waited until our Chapter was in celebration with all of its members present and all of us aflame. Then he called the Grey Knights down upon us, My Company was the only one to escape. We managed to recover the Gene-Seed stores of the Apothecarion, but we only have ninety-three Battle-Brothers, two Apothecaries, three Techmarines and one Chaplain who are survivors of the first, second and fourth companies as well as my own. Might I ask who you are and why you are here?"

Vulkan growls in anger at the actions of the Inquisitor and then calms himself, remember Father's mission, then go slay Inquisitors "I am Primarch Vulkan of the Salamanders, I am here on a mission for the Emperor himself"

Arden's voice comes back tinged with awe "P-Primarch Vulkan? W-wait, would you mission have to do with the voice, the voice we heard"

Vulkan frowns in confusion "A voice, what did it say?"

The Arden's voice filled with hope and anger comes back "She said 'Help Me, Father!', and the moment we heard it, we couldn't help but come, something, something made us listen. We felt angry that the voice had to cry for help, we felt… compelled. We felt as if we had failed in some way, we came to see who cried out… and to solve why we felt guilty and like we had failed"

Vulkan immediately connects mental dots with a speed unmatched by any who wasn't his brothers and sister or his Father. "We… no I was ordered here to find my Sister, one of the Lost Primarchs. Do you know the history of your Chapter? Perhaps, perhaps she is your Primarch"

Arden's reply is immediate "S-sir, may myself, one of my Apothecaries and a squad of our Battle-Brother's come with you? I-if she is our Primarch, then perhaps, perhaps she can protect us from the Inquisition" The slight terror and hope in his voice makes Vulkan want to kill the Inquisitor with his bare hands, but he knows the Inquisitor has probably died of old age if the condition of the Battle-Barge is any indicator.

Vulkan despite speaking over Vox nods "Yes you may and if she is not your Primarch. Know this, I will stand behind your Chapter and so will my Chapter and it's Descendent Chapters"

Arden replies with a choked voice "T-thank you sir, thank you. This is more hope than my Chapter has had for almost four millennia"

Vulkan growls in great anger "It is a hope your Chapter should never have lost. I will see you groundside. I've detected the signal of the Primarch's Gestation Pod"

Artellus Numeon commander of the Elite Honor Guard of Vulkan known as the Pyre Guard turns to Vulkan and says "Am I not alone in thinking that the Inquisition should pay in blood for this crime?"

Vulkan calms slightly at the hidden approval from his most trusted Salamander "No you are not, once we are done here. I will reap a bloody harvest from the Inquisition and I have no doubt that many other Chapters will join us"

Artellus sighs in resignation "But what if this Primarch doesn't want us to harm the Inquisition?"

Vulkan just stops and stares at Artellus, even through his helm the sheer feel of the expression of 'Are you Serious?' can be felt "Artellus… was that an actual question?"

Artellus stops and thinks "Now that I think about it… no it wasn't, but we might be delayed if she wishes to join in"

Vulkan smiles grimly under his helm "Then I have no doubt that the Inquisition will rue the day they judged the Flame Falcons as Traitors to be wiped out"

TQSL

On a day like any other the Great Shinobi Village of Konohagakure no Sato sits in the center of a massive forest with its civilians happily going about their business and its Shinobi training, relaxing or preparing for missions. Outside a sealed room inside the Shinobi Hospital, Tsunade Senju the Hokage of Konoha and the best med-nin in the whole world washes her hands after implanting the Haemastamen and Larraman's Organ into the still unconscious Reiko Uzumaki.

The peace and quiet of Konoha is shattered by two massive waves of sound, sonic bursts from two Thunderhawk-class Gunships. One painted in the Green, Black and Gold and bearing the Salamander head silhouette Chapter Symbol of the Salamanders and the other in the Red, Gold and Blue of the Flame Falcons with iconography of both the Imperial Aquila and a Flacon mid-strike with fire flowing from its wings.

The two Thunderhawks land in Training Ground 5 with twin screams as their engines keep them from crashing. Within seconds most of the Shinobi forces of Konoha have surrounded the two Thunderhawks. Tsunade having quickly raced out of the Hospital and towards the Training Ground is at the forefront of the Shinobi as both Thunderhawks lower their forward ramps.

CLUNK, CLUNK, THUD, THUD.

The ground shakes as from both Thunderhawks squads of the Adeptus Astartes step forth. Clad in armor with similar coloration as their mighty vessels, the giants step towards the Shinobi. From the ones clad in Green, Gold and Black comes a giant among giants, a man over a head taller than the other giants. His armor and helm however are more draconic in appearance then the rest of the giants. The ones from the Red, Gold and Blue ship however are wreathed in flames. Several Shinobi prepare water jutsu in case they are needed.

Tsunade utterly fearless and slightly curious steps forwards towards the draconic giant "Who are you?"

The giant focuses on Tsunade and says in an ancient language only the most studied of Shinobi know "What did you say?" the giants voice is deep and resonant, the voice of an incredibly powerful being.

Tsunade recognizing the language replies "I said, Who are you?"

The giant takes off his helm, revealing a bald man with obsidian colored skin and blazing red eyes "I am Vulkan, Primarch of the Salamanders Space Marine Chapter and son of the Emperor of Man. Who are you and where is my Sister Primarch?"

Tsunade looks shocked to the rest of the Shinobi and she replies "I am Tsunade Senju, Hokage, I mean Leader of this village. What exactly is a Primarch?"

Vulkan looks intrigued at Tsunade's question "A Primarch is a child of the Emperor, created by his intellect and mastery of Arcane Technologies. Long ago, the twenty of us were scattered to the stars by the dark Gods of Chaos. Our Father the Emperor searched for us in a Great Crusade, but he only found eighteen of us. Upon this world however, lies of the two Lost Primarchs, our scanners say her gestation pod is in this village. So I ask on last time, where is SHE" Vulkan growls out the last two words angrily and the other armored giants from both ships step forwards.

Tsunade turns to her Shinobi and shouts "Stand Down! They are searching for one of their own, do not attack them. We cannot beat them, if they are what I think they are. They will simply cut through us like wheat"

Tsunade turns to the now intrigued Vulkan "I know the one you speak of, she lay sleeping beneath this village since she arrived on this world. Twelve years ago a mighty Demon attacked this village, it revealed her 'Gestation pod' Desperate the leader of the village at the time used Arcane techniques to adopt her and then called upon a God to help seal the Demon within a prison inside of her. I was then called in to administer Medical aid to her as I am the best medical personnel known to my people. I was forced to do a rapid check-up of her, so I found some strange Genetic Data. Unknowing of its purpose I used more Arcane Techniques to seal it, thinking it was taint from the Demon imprisoned within her. Recently it awoke when she was fatally wounded in a battle, the Demon's power had been chained to her to help her heal and so it broke the seal on her Genes when she was in need of their power. Since then she's been in a Coma, using our Genetic Techniques we read the data and found its creator had placed instructions on its purpose within it so that we could understand why she was injured. Does the name Gene-Seed mean anything to you? If it does then she is probably the one you are looking for"

Vulkan relaxes and so do the rest of the Astartes. Vulkan growls slightly in anger and says "We have one of our Apothecaries, our medical personnel with us. Will you take us to her?"

Tsunade nods in agreement and then turns to her Shinobi "ANBU alpha squad, Kakashi, Jiraiya with me. Everyone else remain here, I will escort these… men to the Shinobi Hospital where one of their own is being treated. Anyone who attempts hostilities will be left for dead, if one of you are stupid enough to try something, the rest are to surrender. THAT IS AN ORDER UNDERSTAND!"

The Shinobi salute "Sir Yes Sir!" The ANBU Alpha Squad, Jiraiya and Kakashi form up on Tsunade. Tsunade turns to Vulkan and says "These men will escort us to the Hospital where she is being treated, you may bring three others. The rest would not fit, thankfully we built our Hospitals with anything in mind. My men have orders not to attack, if they do, kill them. They are too stupid or traitorous to live"

Surprised at that order Vulkan shouts "Arden you and your Apothecary and Artellus with me. The rest, guard the Thunderhawks, if any of the natives attack. You have permission to kill the attacker and threaten the rest" Tsunade watches as one of the Green, Gold and Black giants walks forwards to Vulkan and two of the aflame giants walk closer as well, she notices that she can't feel any heat from the fire, but it doesn't feel like an Genjutsu either.

TQSL

Tsunade leads the Space Marines to the Shinobi Hospital while the civilians of the village stare on in awe and terror at the metal and fire clad giants walking through the streets.

Tsunade leads the Space Marines into the Shinobi Hospital which has hallways and doors ten feet high and eight feet high, so they have plenty of room for critical patients to be shifted through the hospital on specialized beds with life support equipment attached.

They come to Sealed Room Seven, Tsunade unlocks the complicated and secure Seal Lock on the door. The Space Marines and Vulkan despite being intrigued as to what she did as the door has no handles or keyhole yet it clearly sounded like it was unlocking, are more interested in entering said room.

They crowd in to see the girl, no woman, comatose in the center of the room. Tsunade immediately starts taking readings and then mutters "How fast will she grow? She's already developed to around eighteen or nineteen? Is that Pink Muscle? I thought that was only a myth" Tsunade manipulates her jutsu slightly and the screen lights up with the details on what is happening inside Reiko's body.

Apothecary Simeon Cascaras watches in awe at the details being shown by the screen, almost unconsciously he mutters "Amazing, such advanced Archeotech, I wonder if it can be replicated?"

Vulkan overhearing the mutters of Simeon turns to him and says "Is the Primarch in any danger?"

Simeon breaks out of his awe and starts scanning Reiko with his diagnostics helm, he mutters dark oaths and curses under his breath and glares at Tsunade. But before he can say anything Tsunade beats him to it "Yes I know, I wasn't present for those… incidents, unfortunately politics allowed many of the perpetrators to walk free. It is unfortunate, but Reiko here was the target of much anger and malice, despite that, despite being called a monster, a freak. Despite being assault and beaten and nearly raped on more than one occasion. She still believes in Humanity, she still believes that she can save everyone, the funny thing is… when she says that, I can't help but believe her. She would save everyone she could, or die trying. That is her Nindo her warrior's oath as you might call it" Tsunade chuckles "This girl… no this woman, can and has made enemies follow her, when she speaks, it is hard not to listen. She rarely speaks in riddles or hides her intentions, a politician she'll never be… but a leader, well she has the ability to lead in spades"

Vulkan growls in anger and looks like he is about to slam his fist into a wall "She was attacked! I want names, there will be blood. No one harms my Sister Primarch and gets away with it!"

Tsunade nods and opens the door "Kakashi, get that file of Reiko's"

Kakashi laughs darkly as he walks off. Artellus noticing the laughter asks "I wonder what he finds so funny?"

Tsunade smiles a dark smile "Kakashi can probably guess what I am planning, I could not do anything to harm those who attack Reiko, but you and yours are not bound by those restrictions. The file I sent him to get has the name, description and picture of everyone who has attacked Reiko in the past. I have no doubt that you'll extract proper… payment from those… monsters"

Tsunade turns back to the screen and muses "I wonder… would it be worth it?"

Vulkan hearing the speculative tone of voice turns to Tsunade and bluntly asks "What are you planning? If it is going to affect Reiko I need to know"

Tsunade turns to him and replies "It depends, while this information is helpful for healing Reiko it doesn't say… could I place the Gene-Seed Implants in some of my Shinobi Forces? A lot of Reiko's current generation would follow here if she asked… as would most of the adults now that I think of it"

Vulkan is shocked by the question but quickly comes to see the benefits of what Tsunade is proposing, providing his Sister Primarch with a elite force of trained warriors to become her Space Marines. "It is possible, but the ones going through the implantation should be between ten and twelve when they begin getting implants, otherwise they'll just be rejected"

Tsunade smiles in glee "I have nearly five hundred prospectives in Reiko's current year level alone, around that same number in each following year. With a recruitment drive I could easily manage around two to three thousand. How long would it take for a implantation process to be completed on an average human?"

Vulkan despite being surprised at the numbers and how quickly this leader was willing to give up potential soldiers answers with ease "Usual the process would end around their seventeenth or eighteenth year as that is the best time to implant the final two Implants"

Tsunade nods in thought she then begins to rapidly write down commands up a sheet of paper that was lying on a table in the room for the taking of notes. She walks outside and hands it to ANBU Taka "Take this to Shizune, tell her it is urgent" Taka nods and walks off to carry out her command.

As Tsunade is about to walk back inside she spots Kakashi walking back with a large file with the words 'Top Secret – Alpha level Clearance required' Kakashi grins so broadly it can be seen through his mask "Here's that file you wanted Hokage-Sama" Tsunade takes it with a nod and a vicious smirk.
