Hello! How are you all doing? Good I hope! Anyways, it's been such a good week for me and I want you all to have a good week as well, so here's another chapter and as for Naruto's harem, well it just went up for 2 to 3 to give me two other girls he should have! Charlotte's got number spot, so chose wisely! Bye!

6 years later:

It's been six years since Charlotte had moved in with the Namikaze family and things had changed quite a bit. For one, the Namikaze family was relocated to an artificial island off the shores of Tokyo. The artificial island boosted a large mansion, an airstrip and a few testing grounds. The island was quit large and there was a reason why they moved there. The reason was quite simple. There was an assassination attempt on the Namikaze family about 4 years ago and the whole world almost went crazy, Japan more so. In response to the assassination, the Japanese government pleaded the family to relocate to a more secure location and many foreign Nations even volunteered to be part of the security detail. All Nations that volunteered were buyers of Knightmares. The family of 4 agreed and moved to an artificial that was patrolled by some of the finest ships Nations like China and Russia had to offer and the Knightmare guards were experienced war veterans from Pakistan and China.

Many other major events also occurred over the years, such as the invasion of North Korea by South Korea. It was such a one side fight that the war was over in just about 5 months. With the second Korean war over, the two Korea's were finally united. The achievements of the Knightmares began to alarm the U.N and what was more feared was that if Knightmares achieved the ability of space travel, then things would get much worse, so in a vital last ditch effort to salvage the space treaty of 1967. The U.N came before the former member of the U.N that had left and now formed an organization called PATO, Pan Asian Treaty Organization. PATO was Asia's response to NATO and was becoming quite powerful as of late due to many of its member Nations boosting large Knightmares battalions. The U.N came before the PATO and acknowledged the fact that Knightmares would be allowed in warfare; however in return, PATO would uphold the space treaty of 1967. PATO agreed since Knightmares would be allowed in war. They did so because if they did lose, then the victors could not charge them of war crimes regarding the illegal use of banned weapons of war. The U.N rejoiced in the little victory they had obtained, space would not be weaponized by anyone.

Tensions between Knightmare using countries and IS using countries started to rise with the U.S backing IS more due to the fact that many of the Knightmare using Nations weren't very pro-American. Another factor that only made IS using Nations further their research was that the number of Knightmares was rapidly increasing. As it stood, there were only 467 hundred IS cores around the world and most of them were only used for R&D. With that said, about 400 1st generation, 263 2nd generation and only 6rd generation IS existed and a vast majority of them were built from what the Governments knew about the IS cores they were given. Compared to that, the Knightmares numbered to at least 30,000 strong and with each year passing, newer generations of Knightmares were being developed, with the now latest 5th generations being used, but that did not mean that Knightmares were stronger then IS. A vast majority of the IS being used were personal IS, meaning that they were specialized in some fields, while Knightmares were mass produced and while they were customized, they would still have trouble IS. However that all changed when special Knightmares as they would call them came into play. Special Knightmares were given to the best of the best and were far more powerful than regular Knightmares. They were also far more expensive to buy as well.

"Hmmm, I guess Sutherland would be what the English want. It's the perfect Knightmare to combat tanks and other ground combat threats and it's cheaper to produce and maintain, though the Gloucester would make a great attention as well." 12 years old Naruto said as he was looking at a model of a Sutherland, a Knightmare that was built a few months ago. It was made because actually asked for a few 5th generation Knightmares and in response, the Sutherland was born.

"Naruto, come on! We don't have the time to waste just looking at Knightmare! If we are late to class, your moms gone be pretty mad!" A blond girl of the same age yelled at him. Naruto rolled his eyes and turned towards the girl and flashed his fox like grin.

"Come on, she won't be mad Charlotte, I mean, we won't really be missing anything important." Naruto said as he started to walk to take his class, missing her blush. Charlotte fought down the blush and followed after him. The past 6 years have been quite an experience for her. She refused to do so at first, but when her mother explained why, she accepted it. She didn't expect much from the family she was sent away to live with, however she was so wrong. They had taken care of her like she was their own daughter and then there was Naruto. He was always there for here when she needed it the most and over the 6 years, she began to grow feelings for him, feelings that went beyond that of brother and sister. She didn't know it know what all these feelings were, but she was starting to understand what they meant, she had fallen for Naruto Namikaze and that fool was too dense to realize it. It was crazy, wasn't it? At first she thought it was a childhood thing, but over time she realized that her feelings for him wouldn't go away. Over the course of the 6 years she had lived with the Namikaze family she had learned a lot and that also included about the knowledge about Knightmares that many buyers didn't even know about. She didn't know why she was told such knowledge about it and when she asked why, all Naruto's mother would say was that it had something to do with her future. Whatever that meant?

"Yes she will be mad and if she gets mad, you won't get to use the Knightmares." Charlotte said with a smirk. She knew how to get Naruto to do something and that was ramen and Knightmares.

"COME ON CHARLOTTE! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? WE HAVE TO GET TO CLASS!" Naruto yelled as he grabbed her hand and took off running down the hallway.

"S-slow down!" Charlotte screamed, but to no avail. Naruto soon rushed through a set of doors and stopped. He had his hands on his knees as he tried to recover for the lack of oxygen, just then a shadow casted over him.

"Naruto..." Naruto looked up at the person whom casted the shadow over him and paled.

"M-m-mom?" Naruto asked as he shattered nervously, but he received a fist to his head.

"You are late...again..." Kushina said as she looked down at her only son. Naruto chuckled nervously.

"He was looking at Knightmares." Charlotte sold him out.

"Traitor!" Naruto yelled, but one look from his mother quitted him. She then looked at Charlotte and smiled.

"Thank you for tell me that, Charlotte-Chan." Kushina said as Charlotte blushed at the praise. Naruto sighed; his mother would always do a complete 180 when she and Charlotte talked. He guessed it was a women thing.

"Now then, class is in session." Kushina said as she began teaching the two. The two were homeschooled by Naruto's mother ever since the assassination attempt 4 years ago. It wasn't all that bad. He had Charlotte with him and Knightmares to test around with, so all wasn't that bad. It was all done so under the fear that he or Charlotte might be targeted. So for the next 3 hours, they learned, well, more like Charlotte learned. Naruto just slept most of the time. He knew most of this stuff since he would always be messing with Knightmares and as such, he had read many books to know the ins and outs. Charlotte was a hard worker and put quite the effort into her studies and was easily able catch up to Naruto.

3 hours later:

"Now then, that's all for today." Kushina said as Naruto jumped out of his chair.

"Finally, come on Charlotte! Let's go to the testing grounds!" Naruto said as he ran out the door and headed straight to the testing grounds. Charlotte sighed, while Kushina just giggled at his antics.

"Go on Charlotte, keep him out of trouble, ok?" Kushina requested as Charlotte nodded and ran off too. Along the way towards the testing grounds, the place where prototypes of different Knightmares were tested at, she could see the many ships patrolling the Island through the large glass windows of the hallway. It was a well known fact that the Island she lived on was a fortress that even a Nation like the U.S would have trouble taking over, protected by 6 other Nations, including Japan, patrolled by a fleet of 56 warships of the latest line and with 10 aircraft carriers stationed near by Tokyo, not to mention the nearby airbases. If all else failed, then the Knightmares would be the last line of defense and the best of the best Knightmares and pilots were stationed there. For now, the only Knightmare prototypes being tested here were the Gekka and Gawain, both were 6th generation of Knightmares, however there was only one 7th generation of Knightmare prototype being made here and it was the Lancelot. The Gekka was set to replace the Japanese 4th generation Burai and Burai Ki. The Gawain was a special type Knightmare and any Nation could request one to be built. The Gawain was a powerful Knightmare with two Hadron cannons that could easily destroy a whole fleet of enemy ships on its own.

The Lancelot was also a special type Knightmare, but Charlotte knew that the Lancelot was just the launch point for many other Knightmares that would be based off of it. Entering the testing ground, she saw Naruto hard at work at one of the old 3rd generation Knightmares, the MR-1. The MR-1, while great for fighting when Knightmares were still young, was now just a Knightmare used for transporting stuff around a military base. Naruto would perform tests on it, mess around with it or learn how to pilot it. She knew that Naruto wanted to be one of the best Knightmare pilots out there, an ace. She herself wanted to learn how to use one, mainly to impress Naruto, and secondly to not be a burden.

"What are you working on Naruto?" She asked him as she stood over him and looked at the computer as he typed away. Naruto turned towards her and gave her a grin.

"I am trying to program the MR-1 to have a faster reaction, but it's kind of hard to do with a frame like this." Naruto said as he sighed. Charlotte giggled; it was fun watching Naruto grumble about something because he looked to same cute to her.

"Why not use another Knightmare? There are plenty in the storage area." She suggested.

"Are you crazy?! Mon père ne me permet jamais de l'près du Knightmares dans du stockage!" Naruto said, saying the last bit in French. Charlotte giggled again; hearing Naruto speak French was wired. He had started to learn French when she had moved in with his parents, to help her fit in. She in turn learned Japanese with Naruto and his parents help. Life was indeed hard for her in the start with only her mother around, but when she met Naruto it changed quite a bit.

"Well, I guess your gone have to wait till you're a bit older to get better Knightmares." She said as Naruto pouted at that.

"Naruto, could you come to my office and bring Charlotte too, we have something we talk about with the two of you." Naruto's father voice echoed through the testing grounds. Naruto sighed as he got up.

"Well, time to see what the old man wants." Naruto said as he threw his hands behind his head and walked to his father's office with Charlotte walking right beside him. Walking in, he saw his father and mother waiting for him and Charlotte.

"So, what is it that you want to talk about?" Naruto questioned. Minato looked at his wife and then nodded. Kushina coughed in her hand to get his and Charlotte's attention.

"You two will be going to the IS academy when you reach the age of 16, oh and before I forget, you two are also engaged." Kushina said the last part with an eye smile. The room was so quite that you could hear crickets in the back ground.

"WHAT?!" Was the next thing that could be heard throughout the Island fortress.

So, that is all for now people! I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I do, because some people do enjoy stories like these. Next chapter will be a 3 year time skip and that is where the store or the canon begins, bye!
