UMC Base, Planet Reach

Dr. Catherine Hasley's Lab

Tsunade could be seen in Catherine's lab typing away at a computer which was privately linked with a few others. They were finally given access to the findings on the planet that the UNSC held which were Forerunner tech. Well to be more accurate, a large forerunner structure directly underneath the UNSC base Sword. That was where Catherine is currently with her recently made A.I. To help process and look over the data from it, she helped from here with her new A.I. which she named Tonton after Shizune suggestion. They with other doctors around the area were linked up on a server processing the information from the facility and trying to unlock its secrets.

"Ugh!" shouted Tsunade slamming her fist on the table in frustration upon seeing the denied screen appear on her monitor. Upon seeing her frustration Shizune placed a cup of coffee on the table for her to sip.

"Regretting the choice of letting Precious Justice leave with Naruto?" she asked as Tsunade frowned and took a sip from the coffee. "No. I'm regretting letting Naruto leave me here. I need something to relax and calm me down. He's amazing fuck in bed. Knows how to target those kinks" she finished with a smirk at Shizune blushing face.

"Tsunade-sama! We are at work!" she yelled in embarrassment at her brash and uncaring words.

"You would know exactly what I mean if you just come out and ask him out. Rid yourself of your dry spell" she offered as Shizune shook her red face no while crossing her arms. "NO! I have to be responsible and what if I get pregnant?" she questioned.

"Then be responsible. You're an adult and you can make your own choices. Maybe having a kid will let you calm down" she smirked enjoying her embarrassed expression while sipping her coffee. She watched as Shizune started mumbling about scenarios and random nonsense as an alert appeared on her pad. Reading the alert her eyes narrowed a bit gaining Shizune's attention.

Upon finishing her report, she stood up and left the lab with Shizune by her side. "Reports have come in that a UNSC marine squad has gone missing and communication from Laszlo Sorvad at the Visegrad Relay has stopped" she stated confusing Shizune. "He's another scientist working on the Forerunner structure underneath Catherine. Colonel Holland is sending another two more teams to investigate before he sends in the big guns" she stated.

"Insurrection?" questioned Shizune confused.

"Unknown but very doubtful. This is planet Reach after all. One of UNSC's strongest strongholds. We are also stationed and built on this planet. Them raiding a planet back by two militaries would be foolish" stated Tsunade now entering the doors for the command center.

"So, if it's not them, you don't think it would be the Covenant, or even worst the Banished?"

"That's not known at this moment, but that's why Holland is going to send another team to find out. If they run into issues, he is sending in Noble Team. But if this is the worst, we are in a troubled position. While we have a fleet here, most of the other fleets are defending the Asari or our home sector. It will take time for them to divert assets here" she explained.

"So, what do you suggest we do?"

"I'm calling back Naruto at the very least. He is considered a one-man army" she answered tapping on her pad to get the word in to Naruto.

"Are you asking him to come here for help or are you asking him to come here for yourself?" she questioned narrowing her eyes at her.

"Can it be both?" she finished taping the send on her pad.

Alpha Thessia Palace

Sitting down in a huff as he wiped the dust off himself, Naruto looked forward at Hinata and Messana who were looking him over. His armor was covered in scrapes, dust, blood, and burn but held on with little difficulty. Almost like a simple wash and it would be good to go.

"Your Covenant problem is handled. They have retreated from the planet and the sector" he stated as Hinata gave him a nod in appreciation.

"You heard him. We upheld our end of the deal and we are also setting up more defenses around the planets and sector" started Hinata showing Messana a pad with the defenses being put up. "Now it's time for your end of the bargain".

Nodding in agreement she spoke "You are correct, and I'll shall uphold it. I will give you all knowledge on the technology we created, and we shall fill in your ranks where we are best suited. Most likely medical and engineering. I will also send you all the information on the space colony we developed. The peak of our technology". Tapping a few things on her own pad she gave Hinata full authorization.

"Is there anything else I can do that can help you in any way?" she asked fluttering her eyes at Naruto as he chuckled and Hinata rolled her eyes.

"Don't even think about it Naruto. We have too much work to do right now for you to stick your friend into something new"

"What are you talking about? With this invasion over, I'm due for some R&R" he complained as a alert came through on his wrist pad. Looking it over he saw that it came from Tsunade from Reach. "Fuck, scratch that. I need to head off. Tsunade saying that she has gotten some worrying reports on the planet. Need to head over their quickly" he stated standing up and walking over to Hinata.

"You got this?" he questioned Hinata as she nodded. Giving her a kiss, he placed his helmet on and walked out the door.

"He's always on the move I see" spoke Messana with a amused smile as Hinata gave her a soft nod. "He is. It's one of the things I love about him. Well let's get this agreement finished up so we can get the ball rolling. But first, keep your hands off him without my permission" she warned to which she received a light smile.

Onboard Pelican

Heading towards the prowler in orbit known as the UMC Nightshade Captain by Kurenai. Standing up and holding on to the railing, he was looking at any and all updates that came in from Reach. Deciding to leave the rest of his fleet here and Phoenix Squad with Hinata, he will only take the crew of the UMC Nightshade. They consisted of the crew, 2 marine squads, 1 ODST squad, and three Spartans. The Spartan's being his kids Mirai-D020, Sara-D021, and Isaribi-D027. It will be good to see them, just unfortunately it has to be like this.

As they pelican shook from side to side at some moments to dodge debris and left over wreckage from the fight, he remained unaffected by the movement. Focusing only on the reports the most recent update was that the second marine squad has gone missing. They are sending the full complement of Noble Team.

"Kora. Who are the members of Noble Team? I know of some members, and I heard of their deeds and missions but never dived deep into it" he asked the A.I. in his armor.

: Noble Team is led by Commander Carter-A259 Noble 1, Kat-B320 Noble 2, Jun-A266 Noble 3, Emile-A239 Noble 4, Jorge-052 Noble 5 and a Spartan II, Tom-A293 Noble 6, Rosenda-A344 Noble 7, and Natalie-B312 Noble 8 :

"Natalie-B312. She was designated as hyper lethal like me and the Master Chief. Why did they place her on Noble-team and why is the team so large?" he questioned.

: Noble Team was a test trail for larger Spartan Squads and with adding more members, it proved highly successful. As for Natalie, she was reassigned there by Catherine herself. Reports have come in that she was showing little emotion and acting like a machine. Just doing mission after mission. It was advised that putting her on a team with others like herself, will open her up :

"Has it?" he questioned as he felt the pelican slow down and start to land in the hanger bay.

: Some success. It's a work in progress : she finished as the ramp lowered down for him to see three Spartan's in green colored armor giving him a salute.

Walking up to them with his helmet retracted he gave them a soft smile as he saluted them and had them follow him to the bridge. "It's good to see you three again. From what I can sense you have gotten stronger as well" he started getting nods from them.

"We continued training like you ask of us" started Mirai. "I hope we can show you the fruits of our labor" she added as he smirked. "When we get to Reach, I'll be happy to see it. Anything interesting happen on your tour?".

With that question the three went on with catching up with each other on the way to the bridge. "It's time to go see your mother" he finished, ending the conversation as the doors the bridge opened up. Upon entering most of the group stopped at the door's while Naruto walked right up to Kurenai who was sitting in the Captain's chair.

"It's good to see you love" spoke Kurenai watching him move over to her side and kiss him. "It's good to see you as well. Are we all set to go?" he asked to which she nodded and face the crew to give the order to jump. From the bridge they could see a blue portal appear in front to which they moved in to.

"How long until we reach Planet Reach?" he asked to which she answered a day. "Well, that means your crew can relax and have a skeleton crew run the ship in shifts. Spartan's go take some R&R. You never know what will happen when we get to Reach" he spoke to everyone get some cheers here and there. "As for you, my love. Your mine" he smirked picking her up bridal style from the chair and carrying her out with ease. "Carry on" added Naruto walking out the bridge with a protesting and embarrassed Kurenai in his arms.

"Well, I'm going to take this armor off and play some games. Laters sis" called out Sara to the other two as she removed her helmet to show her red eyes and black with a front portion red hair.

Mirai looked over to Isaribi and asked "Spar?" to which she easily agreed. "I need something to take my mind off the fact that our parents are doing the nasty right now" to which Mirai agreed. "Who knows, maybe they will give us another sibling to spoil" she added as they stepped out into the hall.

"Do you think Dad knows about Boruto and Sarada?" questioned Mirai to which she was answered with a shrug. "I wonder how they will take the news that they are fucking?"

"I think he will be okay with it as long as they don't make him a grandpa. He would probably beat Boruto's ass in training and then wait for Sarada to give birth to beat her ass in training. Knowing him, he will hold a grudge."

"I still remember what he did to that brute who smashed Nawaki in the chest with a hammer. He came from another sector saying he was providing reinforcements, landed on the surface, and then preceded to go all Kyuubi on the Covenant. Pave a path of blood until he found the brute and punted him into orbit" explained Isaribi.

"It's why everyone is afraid to date us and our siblings. Both male and females. Papa bear is waiting around the corner to maul them to death".

'With an evil smile' they both thought shivering picturing the image.

Kurenai's Room

Throwing Kurenai down on her bed she bounced for a bit as Naruto's armor peeled off from him and stood in place. "Naruto! You can't just" she started as Naruto moved on top of her and silenced her with a kiss that she melted into.

Pulling back even though she didn't want him to, he smirked down at her. "Don't worry about that. They still love and respect you. And you've been working way to hard. You need this badly" he stated leaning down and kissing her neck as he started removing her clothes.

"You have been -mmmm- working non stop too….Oh god don't stop" she finished with a moan as Naruto while removing her clothes started working his way downward with kisses. With every kiss he released his chakra into her skin charging and relaxing every cell in her body. It felt like a massage on every point of her body with chakra alone.

"Yeah, but I can handle it. I do so, so I can experience a long time with my loves with no worries. Days full of me loving you in every way possible. Like this" he explained now with her pants and panties removed, allowing for him to place his lips on her lower lips drawing moans of her. She could feel the love and chakra he poured into her core from below. Enough to make her hands grip the sheets hard and for her toes to curl.
