Important Note: A few things to go over. I have finally introduced some alien species to the story. I will allow for the readers to offer some more suggestions that would come into play from either Star Wars, Mass Effect, Starcraft, or any other if the reasoning can work with it. I will be only taking a few so things don't get overpopulated.

Another thing is that by now you should see some events from the Naruto universe blend in with the Halo universe. That should be a hint on what's to come. Have huge plans for certain characters in both series. I will say this to clear things up. All Naruto characters are in the Halo universe. Now on with the story.

Naruto's Office, Maelstrom Base

Fire Country, Planet Elemental

Standing in front of his office mirror was Naruto dressed in a black suit with a red button up underneath. He wanted to wear orange but as this was a mission it was best not to draw to much attention to himself. He had his own mission besides protecting Hinata who should be here in a few minutes. In a matter of fact, he could see her pelican arriving right now. Grabbing his long coat and placing it on he walked out of the office and the building into the cold and snowy day.

Hearing the snow crunch below his shoes he thought about the plan to most effectively follow to get the information he needed. The best thing was using a heavy charged chakra clone in order to get in. The area was mostly cleared now as he gave everyone off to enjoy the holidays except for some guards who would be rotating to get time off. He made sure to pay them extra to keep working.

Off to the side he could see both frigates covered lightly in snow parked next to each other. They were still being worked on as this is still a massive job. The basic cleaning was done on the inside but when the repairs and rearmament were done, he would have the deep cleaning and painting done to them both. He was thinking of making the company colors like the 'Laughing Fox'. White with orange and now red highlights and markings. He also needed a symbol for the company to paint on and show the Maelstrom Corporation own it.

Off to the side lined up was 5 pelicans. The mechanics were able to repair 3 in total and he bought 2 more. Now he needed pilots for them which Shikamaru was handling at the moment. A row of 10 warthogs were lined up near them which were either rebuilt or purchased. Half of them had a chain gun mounted to the back. He knew that two were being used on patrol at this moment by the guards. He currently had 3 squads of 7 for troops. It was as luck would have it, Kakashi took over for recruiting the men temporary as he had a man in mind who would be more permanent position for hiring instructing. The man would be arriving after the holidays.

Stopping in front of the pelican which landed in front of him the ramp lowered to show one of the most beautiful women he has ever seen. Smiling down at him dressed in a silver sparkling strapless dress with matching skintight gloves to her elbows was Hinata. He could see the hanging crystal looking earrings on her ears and makeup applied to her face with her hair done in a beautiful and stylish way.

"You look amazing" he spoke up as she smirked down at him and took a step forward with her open toe matching heels.

"I know, but it's nice to hear you say it. Come along. We must not be late" she smirked at him walking down and lopping her arm through his and leading him to the 'Laughing Fox'. Once onboard and sitting down in the cockpit Hinata entered the coordinates as Naruto launched and piloted the ship.

"Now remember, this is a high-class event. You will be surrounded by many different types of people from all over the galaxy" she started making him raise an eyebrow.

"They traveled to this event even knowing there is an alien group trying to exterminate us all? Aren't they worried about them?" he questioned as she shook her no

"They don't care too much about the war. Some see the war as a way to make a profit like Gato. Some use this event to gather support for the war or for their own self-interest. Others don't care at all as they have their own way to survive if all else fails"

"How's that?"

"Some have fleets for protection, and some have their own personal colonization ship that they can take and escape to the unknown regions of the galaxy. The UNSC has some in development as a worst-case scenario and we even have colonization ships that were used in the past. But some of those have been turned into warships for the war, set for auction, or even waiting deconstruction" she answers making him think on this scenario. Maybe he should have a backup plan as well, but could he abandon his home world like them?

"Back to the original discussion about the people there. I understand that as an Elemental you have not seen other species besides from what you saw on the web and the recent one that's part of your country. That will change today as you will see more but do not stare and cause a scene. You will keep all thoughts and reactions to yourself and act as if you saw them before. Remember your job is to protect me and look as if we are together. No matter what you make it look believable. Do you understand?" she asked as he gave a soft nod entering a blue portal for the jump to the area.

"And who is hosting this event?"

"Shinsei Kaguya, one of the most powerful of people in the galaxy. Do not get on her bad side or she will crush you like an ant" she warned

Dome of Everlasting Love

Finishing the jump, the ship arrived at the station as multiple other craft started arriving as well. Hinata entering her clearance to the station the ship was directed to one of the near by pads for them to land. Once safely docked the two approached the exit and headed off to the entrance of the event. Standing in front of the main doors were two men of strong build checking everyone's ticket. With Hinata presenting theirs they were let in as the large double doors in front opened.

Stepping through Naruto had to control his eyes from widening at the sight he was presented. All around he could see beautiful decorations and interior made from the finest artifacts, sculptors, and builders. Paintings and all sorts of art decorated the walls. It must have cost a fortune. Smacked down in the middle was a large and beautiful tree. Above them was the high-tech glass ceiling that allowed them to look into space. Looking around he could see people talking in groups enjoying themselves until he saw them. A different species that he only saw online.

Asari, a female only race having blue to purple skin with instead of hair having semi-flexible, cartilage-based scalp-crests that smooth to the back of the head. He didn't investigate how they reproduce but he does know they live much longer than the normal human lifespan. Tech vastly different from ours and they decided to stay away from the war as the Covenant wasn't attacking anywhere near to their colonies.

He saw 2 more that he didn't recognize off the top of his head, but he did recognize two that were infamous. Twi'leks and Togruta. But it was surprising as they were only two in the whole area, he. 'Wait never mind' he thought as he saw a few more in some groups but what he saw made him clench his fist in anger. Dressed in expensive but very revealing clothing were two having an expensive diamond color around their necks attached to a fancy looking chain. Holding the chain to them was a fat looking midget in a suit talking proudly to some individuals.

'Mother fucking Gato' he thought glaring at the man to which Hinata noticed. Gripping his hand lightly but firm she snapped him out of it and gained his attention.

"Glad you found him. Let's mingle around for a bit before meeting up with him. I don't want you to snap his neck when we first meet" she spoke as Naruto placed his other hand in is pocket and allowed Hinata to guide him with his held one.

"He is treating them like slaves. Does know one care about it?" he asked as Hinata's forced smile twitched a bit. "The people here are too important or wealthy to care about what he does. They only care about themselves for the most part. That's why you will take him down" she finished as she walked to another couple and talked to them. While turning to face them Naruto toke his hand out and held a coin. Charging a small amount of unnoticeable chakra, he flicked the coin silently down the floor through the crowd. Bouncing a few times, it rolled out and into a hall without anyone's notice but one. A pair of shiny black eyes looked on and focus on the back of Naruto before a smirk appeared on her lipstick lips.

With the Coin

The coin rolling along the edges kept on going before stopping at an empty closed off corridor. Seeing that no one was around the coin transformed into Naruto. Doing look around he found a panel on the wall which allowed him to connect Kora to the systems. Kora appeared doing a stretched did a quick look around.

"Alright let's see what we have here. Hmmmm, hmmm. Gato's ship is docked at 23C, which is not far from here. I'm going to investigate the ships systems. Disabling the cameras and alarms to the route there. Hmmm, that's strange" she muttered

"What, what is it?"

"There is a A.I. here in the systems but it is doing nothing. It's just monitoring me from a distance. What if I do this, would you come closer" she tested.

"Kora. Don't push your luck" he warned. "It doesn't matter. I just copied the complete schematics of the station, and it did nothing. I only feel….amusement from it"

"No matter let's go. I'm sure Tenten would love the present" he finished taking her chip out and dashing down another corridor heading for the ship.

As luck would have it, they ran into no one on the way there. Stopping by the entrance to the ship he inserted Kora into the ship so she could get to work.

"Scanning the ship, give me a second. Oh, he has a A.I. in the ship. Aren't you a cute little thing. Into the cage you go" she spoke happily as he just sweated looking at her.

"You didn't just". "Yup I put the A.I. in the timeout corner. I now have complete control of the whole ship. He has 40 guards on this ship and some of them are Elementals so be prepared for a fight" she warned as he took off his coat and cracked his knuckles. "I'm going to take great joy in this after what I saw"

With Hinata and Super Charged Clone Naruto

After talking a bit to a few other guests, the two finally decided to confront Gato who was alone at the moment. Walking up to the man before anyone else could gain his attention they introduce themselves.

"Hello Gato, I hear many things about yourself. My name is Hinata Hyuuga, and this is my fiancé Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze" she introduced catching Naruto off guard that she is presenting themselves like that.

"Hinata Hyuuga daughter to Hiashi Hyuuga. The man who owns the Hyuuga Empire. Its lovely to meet such a beautiful thing such as yourself" he smirked in her direction before looking up at the tall and muscled statue of Naruto. "This is the son of the legendary man himself Admiral Minato Uzumaki Namikaze. It's an honor" he smiled shaking his hand.

"You are well informed about us" stated Hinata as the man gave a bow.

"I do my research here and there. Especially with the one I'm going to be doing business with" he stated as Naruto looked at the two-woman next to him. "And who are these two lovely ladies?"

"Oh, these two are someone who run up a debt to me just recently and are now in my service. Forever. Thought I would show them off a bit before I break them in tonight" placing his hands on both of their butts. "This pretty one is Shaak Ti and the one on my left is Aayla Secura. Strange names but I think they are exotic. I have one more waiting for me on the ship, but I can give her to you for the right price" he smirked as the two females flinched.

"Interesting. While that is all nice, we haven't come here to do business on selling females. Do you have the information?" questioned Hinata as the man nodded and pulled out a chip from his pocket.

"Do you have the credits?" he asked as she pulled out a chip as well. With a deal they exchanged chips.

"There you have it. The location to the strange structure that my contacts have found along with all the data they collected on it"

"And where is it located?" questioned Hinata as the man smirked

"Exactly where the war just recently started raging at right now. Planet Harvest"
