Planet Harvest Orbit
Elemental's Freedom Naruto's Residence
Kushina looked on in shock as now the whole family was home eating together. They had multiple large tables up allowing for everyone to eat at once. This was something that she only seen at clan gatherings. One she hasn't been to in a long while. It was refreshing she could say as they acted just like Uzumaki's would. Controlled fun chaos with Naruto in the center of it handling it with ease. After being introduced to everyone she was swarmed with questions. It took some time to answer them all, but she did so and now she was currently eating while entertaining Sarada. She seemed extremely smart for her age and paid great deal of attention to things. Much like Miranda who was sitting next to her listening in.
Late at night with everyone finally settling down to sleep, Kushina was walking around the deck in her borrowed sleeping gown. It was there where she came across Naruto in his own sleeping clothes standing there looking up at space. The dome was clear enough for you to see perfectly out at the beautiful space.
"I thought you would be sleeping. Catching up on some much-needed sleep" spoke up Naruto as Kushina came to a soft stop standing next to him.
"I would but all of this is a lot to take in. This ship, you married with kids, the company you run, the people in your company, and the deal with the UNSC. It's a lot you know" she stated looking up at the night sky.
"Yeah. I had all these events spaced out so it's easier" he nodded as they stayed in silence for a second.
"Listen, about me leaving you with Hiruzen. It was never meant as abandonment or neglect" she started as he held up a hand stopping her.
Releasing a deep breathe he rubbed his hair back. "I heard what you said before. I know your reasons and I don't think it was abandonment. It was unfortunate circumstances, and you were trying to make the best out of a shitty decision. I grew up over the years and I don't resent you. But it will be hard for me to connect to you as your son. I'm a man with a lot of responsibilities" he stated before crossing his arms to look back up at the sky as she frowned and looked away.
"But there our other ways for us to connect" he finished as she looked at him confused for a second before blushing red in embarrassment. Seeing the look from the corner of his eye he pinched his brow in frustration.
"Stop thinking like Anko please. I don't need her corrupting you. I was talking about other things. Like being a true Uzumaki member. Training, customs, and rules" he explained as the blush was removed a look of understanding.
"Yeah, we can do that. I can also teach your kids as well if you want on our off time. It was nice talking to you. I'm going to head to bed now. Hope to talk to you more soon Naruto-kun" she finished rushing off a bit to head to bed as she was still a bit embarrassed as Naruto chuckled a bit.
"I will say she is amusing. So, are you going to fuck her? Your both Uzumaki so it wouldn't be an issue from a medical, clan, or social standpoint" spoke up Kyuubi
'One no I'm not going to fuck her. And two how do you know about that last bit?' he thought a bit annoyed
"Simple, I've been alive for a long time. I have nothing but time to learn all about you fucks since the days you started hunting with sticks to the days you moved through space. And I know other Uzumaki members fucked each other. Nothing wrong with it. Could be entertaining" he explained
'Yeah, I'm not even going to entertain that thought right now. I'm going to bed'
Next Day
In the experimental vehicle bay Tenten could be seen typing away on her computer in front of a lot of incomplete parts as Fintz the Felyne watched over her shoulder. He has been designated as her assistant as most of the other Felyne's and Melynx's been assigned at armories, cooks, repairs, supply, and supports. She was currently putting a lot of work into her baby. She really wanted a Mecha Godzilla, but she was running into problems that forerunner tech may not solve it. For one stability and movement. Its going to be massive so its going to need constant adjusting stability. Next was making sure the armor and armaments weren't too heavy to move around with. Next was control. No way a single person can pilot this. Not even 2. It may need 3 or 4. And that's just the start of things. Forerunner tech did solve the power issue though.
"Ugh, why are you being so difficult baby! I just want you to grow up to crush your victims underneath your mighty feet. Just like the vermin they are!" she shouted as red alarms sounded off on the ship.
"I'm not changing my mind or opinion on this!" she yelled out as Kora appeared on her console.
"Sorry to interrupt your evil speech but we have multiple slip space ruptures detected" she warned. Realizing it wasn't her speech that caused the alarm she left the bay to run to her assign station.
Bridge
Admiral Hiruzen had positioned the ship behind the Mizu's Shield fleet as Kumo's reckoning had assumed the attack with nearby fleets. While the ship was assuming a support role it was a massive and attractive target. He knew that the enemy would gun for the ship ignoring the others but that would be a fatal mistake. They had no information about the capabilities of the ship and ignoring the UNSC to get to them leaves them open to be wrecked by the UNSC.
Looking at the projected map he could see that happening right now. Kumo's Reckoning was in direct combat with them in the front. They were trying to push through them to go through Mizu's Shield. In doing so fleets on the sides were closing in on them causing massive damage. It seems like they were safe for now, but he is a smart man with years of experience under his belt.
"Kora, activate all weapons to fire if they get in range of Mizu's Shield. Be careful to not hit any allies" "Yes sir". "Precious Justice, put scanners on maximum power. I want no sneak attacks. If you detect them send the data to Kora to destroy" "Yes Admiral"
From the ship different weapons started warming up and preparing to lock onto the nearest target. It seemed as if there were no targets to lock onto, but the Covenant seemed to be having more ships jump in from behind the Covenant fleet. It was some time before a battlecruiser managed to get by. Seeing the ship get closer a set of dual barrel cannons aimed at the ship before charging. Once significantly charged the cannons let out a beam of blue lasers smacking into the battlecruiser shields. The shields had fizzled out after receiving few barrages. Following up the lasers another cannon containing long triple barrels fire rounds of explosive shells into the ship with barrages of missiles.
With no shields protecting the ship the rounds and missiles smashed into the ship with devasting effect. In a trail of explosions, the ship went off in a boom shocking the nearby UNSC at how effective weapons were. With more Covenant ships moving in closer the Elemental's Freedom started opening with more of its weapons as the Mizu's Shield fleet followed suit.
With the battle raging on it was noticed that the Covenant fleet broke out into smaller groups to get around the fleets and into the planet below. This in return caused the fleets to break away to fight them and, in some cases, caused fleets to break down into smaller groups. Following their lead, they moved the ship away from the battle and into low orbit. They were to move around from location to location for support and recovery which is what they were doing now. There were responding to distress calls from two frigates and a cruiser.

Planet Harvest Orbit
A phoenix class carrier by the name of "Spirit of Fire" arrived at the area like many other ships had before in support of the defense of the planet. The crew could see from the monitors wrecked ships from both sides floating about while numerous locations on the planet were set ablaze. The crew lead by Captain Cutter and Dr. Anders was on the mission to find out the reason for the Covenant occupation instead of glassing like so many other planets.
Moving through the wreckage the crew spotted the talk of the UNSC and public at times. The ship "Elemental's Freedom" which was moving slowly in low orbit. It was currently on a solo path as its ships were currently docked inside for repair or upgrades. Giving the command, Captain Cutter had the ship pull up to the side of the behemoth of a ship before sending patrols of pelicans and other planes down to the planets surface. He had to go check in with Dr. Anders to see her current findings on the situation on the planet's surface.
Elemental's Freedom Ship Bay
Standing at a balcony looking over her pad was Dr. Halsey. Below her on different platforms were damaged ships in need for repairs and upgrades being worked on. She liked to check up on other things in order to clear her mind and relax a bit. Hearing a meow, she looked down to see a Melynx holding up a cup a coffee she requested. Giving a thanks she took the coffee before going back to her pad as the Melynx ran off on all fours.
With Kushina's coordination, the ships that went to them for repairs were integrated into their group with their crew. At the moment she saw work for 5 cruisers being performed on with 4 frigates. She knew there were a few destroyers and other ships scheduled to go through the process, but it would be some time before they were worked on. They had limited crew and supplies for now but that was slowly changing. It was only a matter of time at this point she thought as an alert appeared on her pad.
Opening the alert, she saw that it was the notification of the ship the "Spirit of Fire" entering formation with theirs. Pulling up the information on the ship she gave a smirk recognizing the Spartan Red Team and Dr. Anders. Dr. Anders being an upcoming scientist that butted heads with her in the past. 'This will be very interesting'
Spirit of Fire Observation Deck
Dr. Anders was also looking through the pad on all the known information of the ship next to hers. Commanded by Admiral Hiruzen under the leadership of Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze. A highly advance ship having a growing crew containing humans, elementals, Togruta's, Twi'lek's, Felyne's and Melyn's, A.I.'s, droids, and robots. Just recently they even got a Spartan team to join them. Looking over some more notable personnel aboard she recognized some of her rivals and colleagues like Tsunade and Catherine. 'They just better not get involved with my work' she thought as Cutter entered the room. It was time to see what information Sgt Forge was able to get from the surface.
Spartan Command Deck
Spartan Team Kilo leader Naomi-010 was standing out of her armor next to Naruto looking at a projected map of the ground where the "Spirit of Fire" forces had landed. For now, they were to watch but if the need arises they would deploy to assist.
