Konoha City, Tazuna's Repair Shop

Fire Country, Planet Elemental

Some time had passed since he started working at the repair shop for Tazuna. Like he agreed to before he was working at the corner of the shop taking on multiple orders for repairs. With his rapid growth in knowledge and practice he went from simple car repairs to repairing trucks and sports car. He was even at a level where he could teach some kids for extra pay, which was what he is doing now.

Across from him repairing a truck were some clones repairing a nearly totaled car with a young boy watching and learning from them as they explained everything. The boy's name was Inari who was Tazuna's grandson home on vacation from boarding school. He always wanted to join the military like his father did to honor him. It was unfortunate that the man lost his life a few years back due to rebels, but he died a hero.

All around him you could see clones working on an order and it was as luck have it Tazuna picked up a contract from the UNSC to repair warthogs from battle. Quite often he would see ships drop down from the sky unloading loads of ruin warthogs for repairs that toke up a lot of worker's time. All around the city you could see repair shops working on warthogs. It was good money for the company. It also allowed him to see the damage plasma could do an armored vehicle and he wouldn't want to be hit by it.

"Hey Naruto. I need you to cover down and work on the warthogs from lot 12" called out Tazuna

"I already have a few civilian orders I'm working on" he yelled back

"Just make some more clones and start working on them. I'll pay you extra for each one and I'll agree to the other thing you asked for"

"You mean-" "Yes, I will have you shadow me and the advance workers around when we repair the any sort of small flying vehicle or small ship. The manuals on everything are with them"

"Deal!" he yelled back creating some clones to start studying the instructions and beginning some repairs. Some clones went of with Tazuna as he went to another section in the warehouse that focused on fixing planes, helicopters, and ships.

Very few on this world know how to repair ships outside of major corporations and even fewer lived in this city. It just lucky that Tazuna had the knowledge, training, and practice on how to do so. It was not quite often you see a small ship flying about as owning one costs millions in credits and when you do own one the question becomes why. Without a slip space drive, you can't travel from planet to planet and only the wealthiest or people with high connections can own a small ship with a slip space drive. Its why people hope to earn enough to own a small freighter which is a lot easier come by and in different of varieties.

Working on the removal of a melted armor plate he saw a woman come walking into the garage. Walking with a bag in her hand she waved and said hello to some of the workers before stopping as Inari ran up to hug her. They spoke a few words before Inari pointed at while receiving the bag from her. Waving goodbye to him she followed where she pointed to and stopping next to him as he used chakra to strength his limbs to raise the heavy armor and place it to the side.

"Hello Naruto-kun. How is work coming along?"

"Hi Tsunami-chan, work is manageable at the moment. Needed to create some more clones to handle the extra work load. Your father even allowed me to work on some of the advance things" he smiled wiping his hands of the dirt.

"That's really good to hear. Once again, I'm happy you started teaching my son some things while he is home on vacation. I know that with him here he gets to relax and enjoy himself until he goes back to boarding school" she smiled gratefully at him.

"Its no worries. He's a smart and fun kid to have around. You raised him well"

"Thank you but when he leaves it sure will be lonely again back home. That reminds me, what are your future plans? With the work that you do and the amount that you have done you must have some large plans. You have around- "looks around the garage "-30 or more clones working. That means you gain the paycheck of at least 30 or more people. You should have a loaded bank" she stated

"Well, I could tell you some of my plans. Once I earn and learn enough, I'm going to by a ship and travel the stars. Going on adventures full of excitement and wonders. Even explore the galaxy" he explained grabbing the new armor plate from a mechanical crane and placing it on the warthog.

"Sounds like fun. Are you going by yourself on this adventure?" she asked in wonder leaning against a worktable

"For now, yes. But I hope to have a large crew eventually" he finished forming some hand seals and blowing a small stream of fire to seal the armor in place. She watched him for a bit before coming to a decision.

"If you want maybe I can join you on this crew. With my son away in school and my father busy working here, I have nothing to do here. Plus, I know how to manage finances so I could help you on that" she offered making him think

"You sure you ok with leaving this planet and everything behind?"

"Definitely. Plus, my family is a call away so I can keep in contact with them" she smiled

"Well welcome aboard to my future crew" he smiled as she shook his hand not caring for the mess and the same time kissing his cheek making him blush a bit.

"I'm sure we will have a 'wonderful' time together. So, when is the ship date?" she asked as Naruto thought on it a bit. "Well with the extra work I'm doing and learning the new stuff from Tazuna, I'll say I will start the major shopping next month. After that we will leave the following week hopefully"

"Wow, that's soon. Will you have everything ready by then?" she asked as he nodded with complete confidence. "Ok 'Captain', I will let you get to your work. I hope to see you soon" she finished before walking of with a sway of her hips.

'Damn I'm so tempted to smash that all day long if I had the chance, but I can't. My condition makes doing anything like that very risky. Maybe I should find a doctor to bring along with me'

One Month Later

The following month was difficult for Naruto for different reasons. Learning everything he could from Tazuna on ship and plane repairs and maintenance while working was grueling. He even had multiple clones in henge going around doing small jobs to help bring in more income. The other part was Tsunami advances. He knew without a shadow of a doubt she wanted to fuck the daylights out of him, but he had to distance himself from that. He was structurally built different than the usual Elemental and he was not sure if she could handle it. The medics after examining him in the military warn him about the differences he could experience when having sex after the short examination. So, until he had a doctor onboard all sexual activities were a no.

Currently he was standing in front of a newly purchased modern day LVSR in the cargo hold format as he waited for his campaign. Already on the back was the recycler strapped down securely.

"Alright Naruto. Let's get you your ship and the stuff you need for the ship" spoke a voice revealing to be Hiruzen dressed in casual clothing and heading for the passenger seat.

Driving towards the building for ship sales owned by the Senju Corporation Hiruzen decided to get started immediately. "So, I see you put the Kage Bunshin no jutsu to use immediately. Good job, that would be the only way for you to earn the money for a ship and this trip.

Now once you buy your ship you would also need to buy fuel for your ship and replacement parts. In space anything could happen. Next you will need to have a set of space suits, tools, food, weapons, and first aid capabilities.

After that you need to understand the rules around the galaxy. While slavery is banned everywhere, you can hire people for their services. With the current state of the world some people will work and serve you just to have food, clothes, and shelter. And these are highly knowledgeable people. The war, rebels, and so many events displace and change things that it's a struggle to survive. Remember the strong survive and the weak die. I raised you to be strong. An alpha. Once this shopping is over and you leave this planet, my training is complete. Are you ready?" he finished looking away from his pad and at Naruto.

"I'm more than ready" he smirked pulling into the parking for the building

Gallery

Inside the large gallery like warehouse were multiple ships ready to be sold to the multiple people looking around. He saw ships for the price of up to millions to ships costing billions. Looking around he saw quite a few he liked but not in his price range until he came across it. A Modified Corellian Engineering Corporation YT-1300 Light Freighter costing 13 million credits on sale. (Yes, it is shaped similar to the one like in Star Wars but it is a bit bigger with loads of cargo room)

"You brought in your portion of the credits?" asked Hiruzen holding his pad. Naruto brought out his pad and tapped a few buttons which in turned sent 1 million credits to his pad. Hiruzen seeing the transferred walked up to a metal stand and scanned the bar code bringing up the ship's specs and details.

"The color you like it in?"

"Make it white with orange instead of blue" he requested as he nodded and tap a few things on the pad.

"It will be ready in the next 6 hours in docking bay 11. You can order parts and fuel for it to be delivered to the pad. Let's get you some suits and weapons. It's not far from here"

By the end of the day the vehicle was stacked up the recycler, a few weapons like the BR55 battle rifle and the MA37 assault rifle, 4 space suits, 2 large containers of food, 1 container of medical supplies, and a container full of different tools. He already dropped Hiruzen off at his house and now he was driving to docking bay 11.

Following the instructions and entering through the large gates of the bay he came across her. His ship was parked with the ramp down and off to the side the ordered extra parts. Pulling the vehicle around he backed the vehicle up into the storage bay which was a snug fit. Turning of the vehicle and jumping out he immediately started forming clones to offloading all the equipment as he inspected more of the ship. It had 1 master bedroom, 4 regular bedrooms, conference area that was connected to a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, storage room, clinic, large storage bay, and the pilot's seats.

"Time to break this bed in" called out Naruto laying back on the bed looking through the notes that Hiruzen sent to him on his pad. They were a list of hires that were desperately looking for work. Some were just shelter and some for low amounts. Reading over their qualifications and summary he made his choices through the night as the clones put everything away and moved his belongings from his old home to his new home. The 'Laughing Fox'.
