Planet Triniel

Onboard the ship he had many sections created for different purposes. He had two bays which one was for storing large ships and the other is for all other sizes. He also had areas like arms rooms, medical, research, and engineering. But one thing he had created was the Spartan Hub, which is where he is right now. Rows of platforms with mechanical arms ready to assist Spartans placing on their armor were ready. All around were different training sections in order to help keep them in shape. (Think UNSC Infinity Armor Bay). While he was technically the only Spartan onboard, he hoped to change that in the future. When he did not know. That depended on Catherine.

While he had been working on this ship and the planet, he didn't neglect his contract with the UNSC. He just kept this under wraps while sending un-upgraded ships to do the missions. Now that the ship is fully built and tested, he would no longer need to hide it. He knew just the spot to unveil everything. They had a score to settle on Harvest. Hiruzen was already making the plans for the jump and combat. That left him time to do what he liked. He already did some inspections of things. It seemed like a good time to see how his family were doing.

Taking an elevator towards the city and another one towards the private housing section he was now in front of a large mansion. He could already see some of his kids playing out in front and he wouldn't be surprised if they were out back too. At the moment Tsunami and Haku were outside with them keeping an eye out for them. The kids stopped playing when they noticed him and immediately ran up to him in a yell.

"Daddy! Get em!" was yelled out as they dogged piled him. Knowing he was a lot stronger than him he let them take him down with a laugh. Spending time with his family is the best way for him to relax. A constantly growing family but he doesn't mind one bit. In a quite and private ceremonies, he had gotten married to a few of the females he was with. The ones that were married to him are Shaak Ti, Tsunami, Haku, surprisingly enough Aayla and Anko, Tenten, Sakura, and Hinata. Ino and Sasuki wanted to do it later which he had no problems with.

On the other hands Tsunade and Kurenai made their move on him and were currently seeing him. Keeping it a secret for now Shizune was doing the same as she wanted this to be a private matter. Catherine on the other hand was a puzzle he was struggling to solve. She liked to keep her emotions to herself but does show a lot of interest in him. Its way they now have a 2-year-old daughter named Miranda. That situation is tricky as Catherine was not expecting such a thing to happen and didn't know too well on how to be a mother. The Spartans training didn't prep her enough, but she was thankful the other mothers stepped in to help.

"Alright you little monsters, you win. Now let daddy up so he can go say hello to your moms" he laughed as they reluctantly let him go for him to stand. Leading the way, he gave both Tsunami and Haku a kiss before they guided everyone inside.

With so many people living inside the mansion, you would expect things to be chaotic which they were but in a controlled manner. A few of his wives were watching TV with the kids while some were relaxing in the sun, next to the pool. Following their lead, he relaxed himself on the couch to relax as soon enough he won't be able to.

Planet Harvest Orbit

Uzumaki's Fleet

It has been a brutal campaign over Planet Harvest and it could be seen from all the wreckage laying about. Admiral Kushina was doing all of what's in her power to keep her heavily damaged ship running. Facing massive numbers of Covenant ship her fleet had been mostly wiped out. The ones that were not destroyed were disabled or adrift. Her ship was borderline disabled as she lost her MAC and engines.

"Admiral slip space rupture detected!"

"Shit we can't fight another battle right now. Prepare to abandon ship" ordered Kushina as a massive rupture appeared in front of them. What came out was easily one of the most massive ship she has ever seen.

"Aaaa, mam. We are be hailed" was called out. "Put it on the screen" she ordered preparing for the worst. She was extremely surprised to see no other than her son's face on the screen.

"Naruto! What is this?" she asked in complete shock as Naruto ignored her question and expression.

"Admiral Kushina. It seems your fleet has been wiped out and you are in dire need of assistance. My crew can provide it with your permission. Do you accept?"

"You want to explain the massive fucking ship?"

"No"

"(Sign) I'm not in a position to deny any help at this moment. We would like to request your help" she answered as he nodded.

"Put your systems in standby and focus on damage control. We will dock your ships" he ordered before disconnecting the line. Kushina's crew watched as the massive ship moved over them before stopping in place as multiple search lights came online homing onto her ship and all around.

"What is that ship" she muttered as an officer answered "It's coming up as Elemental's Freedom on the ship tag"

"Elemental's Freedom"

Elemental's Freedom Bridge

Looking back at Hiruzen he gave a nod for the go ahead. Taking command, he stood up and started handing out orders in a rapid paste as the crew move to his beat. "Launch sentinels. Load the Punic class ship into bay 1. The other ships are to head into bay 1. Dispatch recovery sentinels to rescue trapped personnel among the wreckage and the dead. Any other intact equipment, bring onboard as well. Scan for nukes among the wreckage as well. I want them secured immediately."

With the orders being called out, the crew went to work on completing them. Large sentinels left the ship moving towards the Punic class carrier and nearby ships. Other sentinels went about searching and securing different sections, items, personnel, and bodies.

The crew of the Red Death watched as machines came out of the large ship and placed beams on their own. As one they moved the ship through space and into a bay underneath. The ship was placed on a large platform that had blue lights on the edge showing its active.

"Lieutenant, have the Spartan team meet me at Exit Bay 12 and focus all efforts on fixing the ship and medical care" ordered Kushina grabbing her katana from behind the back of her chair and strapping it to her waist on the way out the door. Taking an elevator down she walked down the hall to see four Spartans in combat loads waiting for her. She recognized them easily as Daisy -023, Ralph-103, Joesph-122, and the leader Naomi-010. Spartan Team Kilo.

"Alright Spartan's we are in an unknown ship. Don't fire unless you are being fired upon. You are to guard me while I negotiate with the crew here" she ordered as they replied, "Yes Mam" and followed her into the elevator leading to the ground.

With the doors opening up they walked out of the ship across the platform to see the amazing interior of the ship. They saw more of the small robots flying over to her ship helping with damage control on the outside. In the distance they could see a couple waiting for them. It was when they got closer that they recognized them as her son Naruto and Dr. Catherine Halsey.

"Naruto" she started looking up at his tall statue. He has definitely grown since the last time she saw him. By a lot and in different ways. A red headed taller and buffer version of Minato.

"Admiral Kushina" he stated emotionlessly down at her. She looked like she was still in her twenties. Uzumaki genes were an amazing thing.

"Spartans" spoke Dr. Halsey as they replied "mother" making her lips twitch in a smirk

"You can calm down. This ship is a design of my own" started Naruto leading the group towards the exit. "We were able to re-engineer Covenant technology, forerunner technology, and combine it with our own to make all of this. We are working are recovering the remnants of your fleet to save as much as we can. Dr. Halsey will lead the Spartans to a location they can relax while we talk to higher. I'm sure they will be as shocked as you are" he stated as the Spartans looked to her for orders.

Giving a nod she allowed them to follow Dr. Halsey while she took another lift towards the meeting room. Entering the room, the two saw Shaak Ti there waiting with everything set up and the connection established to ONI. Sitting down the two looked towards the three ONI high command officials.

"Do you want to explain to me what this is all about?" asked the female official

Knowing what she meant he went straight into it. "Through combine efforts of multiple personal we were able to re-engineer Covenant and forerunner tech. We created the ship and all the advancements onboard. We sent you some tech to fulfil our contract obligations but didn't send quite a bit as they were still in the test phase" he answered

"You have on your hands maybe the most powerful and biggest ship ever created. What do you intend to do with such a thing?"

"Fulfil my contract obligations with you and make sure humanity has a fighting chance against the Covenant. Understand while this is a mighty vessel, it is only one. It can be overwhelmed in numbers. Especially with the tech the Covenant have. Also, my crew can't be everywhere at once. There is also the fact that we are not fully staffed and armed. So, we will have to play the support until we are" he explained.

"And if you were?"

"We can start to play a more different role than being support" he answered making the three think and talk to each other. Taking the lead, the man on the right spoke.

"Admiral Kushina. Seeing how much of your fleet has been wiped we will fold you and the remainders into his crew. With every deployment you will be the one bringing the personnel into his fleet with the goal to increase his without lowering the local forces to detrimental levels" he ordered as she nodded.

"With this matter settled we hope to see your ship in action and full reports of everything that occurs" finished the one on the left before the connection was terminated.

"Welcome aboard Admiral Kushina. I'm sure your grandkids would be trilled to meet you" smiled Shaak Ti as Kushina smiled back. "Thank you for welcoming me aboard…..wait what?!" she shouted in shock looking at Naruto who rubbed his face.

"I didn't want to break it to her this soon Ti" he explained as she blushed in embarrassment. "Sorry love. I guess I got ahead of myself" she laughed as Kushina looked at her.

"Love? Wait you have kids together!? Can someone explain what's going!?" she roared as Naruto replied "No" walking off as she followed after him pestering him for information.
