Note: The average height for humans (not Spartans) is 5'9 to 5'10. Naruto is 6'3 which is a bit above average. To put in better perspective The Rock is 6'5. I also added character ages so everyone can get a go picture of things. Not going to mention any names but if you don't like a certain thing don't complain without answers. I'm always open to suggestions and advice. Away for lunch on complaining just because you can.

Driving along the old dirt road a convertible pulled over into a recently created dirt path to drive through the trees. The sun was shining bright, and the wind was blowing through her long pink hair. She thought long and hard about the offer to continuing to work for Naruto and it was too good to just pass up. Her pay was continuingly to raise with the missions that occurred. She was able to continue her knowledge in her studies. She could see the galaxy with all its beauty. And finally, she could do a good deed by help bringing Gato down. On her off time she had researched into his actions and what he does. She can honestly say she hated the man.

Approaching the end of the tree line she saw a fence surrounding a large, opened field. Most the field has been paved with cement with only a few spots needing work. Pulling onto the base she saw in the distance the parked transporter with the Laughing Fox parked next to it. Behind them was a two-story building that look recently built with cars parked in front of it.

Driving towards the building she could see projects all over in their starting phases of being built with only a warehouse being fully built. Pulling into the driveway she exited her car to head for the building. Entering the building she heard voices down the hall to which she followed to see the crew discussing a few things along a long table. There was the new addition of Fintz the white felyne from before along with Zabuza and Haku to the main crew. Turns out offering a contract with better pay and standards made the two switch sides easily. That and they hated working for Gato. It also didn't hurt that Zabuza would be able to have as many rematches as he wanted. The group was currently having a discussion on the next plan of action before they noticed her walking in.

"Ah, with Sakura joining us that is everyone. Welcome, we were discussing our next plan of action. Fintz wants us to mine for resources in order to make more supplies to build up the base more. Tenten wants to take more contracts in order to take more of what Gato has and add it to our own. Zabuza wants to raid more of Gato things because he hates him" finished Naruto as Sakura thought about it for a second before sitting down at the table.

"Well to mine more resources to build the base up more we need more credits and a way to do so easier. Gato has the things we need. So, let's hit Gato a few more times to take his things in order to get the credits and necessities needed to build the base up more and a factory. Once we get enough, we can mine the materials needed to build up the base more at the same as hitting Gato's warehouses" offered Sakura as the crew stared at her.

"Well, I be damned. Pinky brought up a good plan" muttered Zabuza with everyone agreeing.

"Alright we got our plan. Anko, what do you have for us?" questioned Naruto as Anko pulled up a few targets on Elemental to hit on the main screen. Going over the plan for the next attack the crew boarded the Laughing Fox as Fintz had his people man the transport to follow them. It was time to go raiding.

2 months later

With the month of December here it brought with it light snow but that didn't stop their progress. Standing outside of his building he looked on as he now had a total of 5 GR -75 transport ships lined up on the base. To mark them as part of his fleet he had the colors white with orange markings paint on each ship. Currently from the sides he had his furry mechanics downloading the gear to be placed in the warehouse nearby or to the nearby factory that processed the material to be made for building materials. The hits on the warehouse have been very successful to the point that they were able to hire a mercenary squad of veteran Marines (7). Their job was simple, patrol and protect the base.

Walking up to him Anko moved to his side to watch the progress before speaking up. "We have made a steady amount of progress. Hinata is pleased. She feels its time to hit him where it hurts". She started showing him her pad as he looked down on it.

"Is that?". "Yes, we were able to track the whereabouts of part of his fleet. These two are scheduled for a resupply based on the data"

"Ok two questions. How in the hell did he get access to two fucking Stalwart-class Frigates and how in the hell am I supposed to do shit about that?" he questioned looking at her like she is crazy. Well, crazier than she usually is.

"That's what Hinata wants to find out. Command has been buzzing about this discovery and they want answers. We believe that on the ship archives will be the answer. Hinata feels like there might be even a traitor supplying him"

"Ok next question, how the hell am I supposed to do this and what do I do IF I am able to pull this off?"

"A private entity will link up with you and provide you all that you need to take the ship. We called in a favor for this one. Your job is to take the ships archives and hand them over to Hinata for delivery. As for the ships command has given you a few options. You can destroy them, so Gato doesn't get a hold of them again. You can give them back to the UNSC for a high price. Oooorrrrr you can keep them" she explained as a smirked appeared on his face. Two frigates sound like a big offer and it opens up the massive types of contracts. But he would need to hire a crew to man both ships which would cost money.

"How much for this contract?"

"ONI is offering a total of 10 million credits for this job"

"I assume ONI has a plan for me to pull this off?". "Yes, and you will be notified only after you accept the contract" she finished before displaying the accept or decline button on her pad.

"I never back down from a challenge" he answered clicking accept as his own pad notification sound went off. Pulling it out the message opened up to show the details of the plan.

"Alright, let's go prepare the crew"

Headquarters Main Office

"What the fuck?" questioned Zabuza out loud as the rest of the crew looked at Naruto and Anko in shock.

"You accepted the mission to attack and capture not one but two Stalwart-class Frigates?" questioned Sakura. "Yup"

"And the plan on how to do it is this" asked Shikamaru holding up the pad with the plan. "Yes"

"And they will let you keep the ships as they want the data on the systems?" asked Haku. "Correct"

"And you are going to meet up with a contact who will give you the tools to do this?" added Tsunami. "Yes"

"Have you lost your mind?" questioned Sakura again. "Nope. So, are you guys up for the challenge?"

"Well how are we going to get the ship here?" questioned Tenten. "I know we have space on the pad since we bought a massive amount of land but moving it here. And what about manning it as well?"

"The tools that the contact will give us will allow us to move the ships here. Once we land the ships here, we will keep the here for maintenance and storage temporary. With the funds from this mission, we will go through a massive hiring process in order to get the ships manned. With the ships fully manned we will start doing some real damage" explained Naruto as the crew looked over the plan then back to him.

"We want a raise!" they shouted at him as he gave them a dead look.

"Also, a small party before we leave for this mission" added Fintz as everyone looked at the cute feline.

"What? I would like one more thrill before going out on something as dangerous as this" he explained as some looked at nodding in agreement.

"Done. I will get you your damn raise. Prepare the Laughing Fox for lift off tomorrow. We are going to have a party tonight to let your nerves cool down"

"Alright! Let's get this party going" shouted Fintz jumping into the air before running out of the building to get the cooking and set up done with his friends.

"Make sure he doesn't forget to do his preps before setting up the party. I have to go look up this area I'm supposed to meet this contact" explained Naruto as he leaned back in his chair to look over the data with the crew walking out to get their stuff ready for tomorrow.

Later that Night

With the moon shining bright upon the base, close by to the ships was a large bonfire that the full crew was partying by. Food and drinks were set up all by Fintz's crew in expert fashion. Music playing in the background allowed for all sorts of soliciting to take place. Whether it be from some games, to dancing, and even some competitions. One such competition was a drinking contest between Zabuza and Naruto which Naruto won hands down. You could see Zabuza laid out sitting on a chair with his face down on the table.

'Poor Haku' thought Naruto watching the young lady panicking a bit over his current state. He could see even a few felyne by is leg poking him to see if he is alive. Stepping away he could see Chouji at the food bar stuffing his face with everything he could get as the felyne's fed him more with great enthusiasm. The cooks saw it as a challenge most likely.

"Hey Naruto, come join us" called out Tenten from a group of Sakura, Anko, and Tsunami sit by the bonfire.

Walking over to the bonfire he took a seat next to Tenten as she passed him a drink and pulled out her pad to show off a few things.

"With your idea of wanting to have those two ships I thought of some things we need to get started on and something things we should. For one we need a much more larger building for storing supplies. Then we need a storage for fuel to run these monsters. They can't stay in the atmosphere without using massive amounts of fuel to stay up so keeping them on the ground is important. Next is this idea that I have. Instead of building more things and expanding are space vertically, lets go down. Start excavating into the planet to make space for things. This also include my future projects when I have your approval" she finished before shyly looking away at the addition of the last part.

"It's a good idea. Coordinate this with Shikamaru and Tsunami. Let them know they have the approval to do so. I will also fund you to start one and only one project at the moment and not the Mecha Godzilla one" he answered as Tenten gave a loud "Whoop!" and kissed him on the cheek before grabbing another beer.

"Let's get fucking drunk everyone!" she shouted in joy as everyone yelled in agreement not knowing the outcome of what this night would bring them until they woke up in the morning and again later down the line.

Next Morning

With the sun's ray shining through the window and onto his face he woke up with a yawn but unable to move his body. Naruto opening his eyes woke up to show that while he was in his master bedroom onboard the Laughing Fox he was not alone in his bed. Looking around he saw that on top of him was a very naked Tenten and Tsunami from what he could feel from them.

Feeling the movement around her, Tenten woke up along with Tsunami to see the position they were in. "What a night that was" she laughed
