A/N: Heya everyone! It's finally here! The remake for the Naruto and Kantai collection fanfic crossover. I know most of you are excited, but first I need to address some things.

First of all I picked Kaga out of all the girls to be the new main female protagaint. Now I didn't do this without thought. I had long conversations with people in PM about this, aswell as with some of my friends in real life. So Kaga it is, and with that Kaga will act a bit different in the beginning, but reason being will be covered at the end of this chapter.

Alright now that, that's covered, this story will have a very different tone then the original story. It'll start off differently but will mainly have the same storyline with the same characters. So please give it a chance.

Now without further ado on with the story!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or the Kantai Collection franchise. This is purely fan made. Please don't sue me.

I'm Only Human Chapter one: Heavens Fall

Location: San Diego, United States Of America

Date: Unknown

Unit: Unknown

"Vice Admiral!…Vice Admrial Stacker!"

"H-Huh?" The man asked his eyes shooting open, only to see a blurry figure trying to shake him awake. The man tried to shake the blurriness from his eyes but had no success. He tried to stand up, but quickly stumbled, "Come on James!" The voice said, as he felt someone support him and his vision began to clear, "We don't have much time the last transport is leaving." The figure said, as the man's vision completely came back to him. But what awaited him was complete horror…

He was limping along the runway of a makeshift airfield, towards a lone C-17 as dozens of other transports were seen in the smoke filled skies above. They all headed towards the open ocean, away from the land. Everything was coming back to him now. The final attack, the evacuation, and the crash, "Stacker? Honey come on stay with me." The person said. He looked to the source to see a very familiar and fairly tall women, helping him to the to the plane. She had ocean blue eyes along with long, blonde curly hair. She wore an outfit straight out of the old pinup posters from World War II. This was none other then the USS. Iowa. His Secretary Ship, and other things…

"Enemy contacts behing us. We don't have much time." Iowa said, looking behind them as they neared the loading ramp. He could see various other Ship girls shooting their guns up into the sky protecting the plane. Suddenly he felt another person help him go faster. He looked for the source only to see a smaller girl with grey hair tired into twin-tails. She wore a red and white Japanese shortened Miko uniform, that had almost been torn to shreds, "Honestly Admiral this isn't the time to be lazying around." She said with a smirk, as they reached the C-17.

"Thanks Zuikaku." Stacker finally said, as they passed another Ship Girl, she was directing other girls in directions. "Come on! Hurry up! Get him seated!" She called out, as a cluster of bombs struck the airfield. Stacker noticed Iowa clenching her teeth, as she sat him down, "We're going as fast as we can Kirishima." Zuikaku called out, walking over to her.

"I'm just trying to make sure we all get out of her safely." She called out, "And especially with the Vice Admiral in this condition someone has too." She added pointing over to Stacker, then turning her head back out to the other girls, "Everyone on board we're leaving now!" As soon as her words echoed out, all the girls began to run up the ramp. Zuikaku looked at her with concern, before turning away. "I just hope you know what you're doing Kirishima. Stacker really didn't put you in charge."

The Battleship in turn nodded her head, and helped pull in the last ship girl, "We're all aboard! Pilots get us out of here!"

"Yes ma'am." Echoed a voice through the on board speaker. A moment later the C-17 began to take off from the runway. All the girls quickly took their seats, along with some soldiers that had made it on board with them. Iowa sat beside Stacker and Zuikaku sat on the other side, watching the plane pull away from the runway, as the loading ramp had yet to shut.

Iowa held onto Stackers hand tightly and Zuikaku gripped her seat tightly, as they passed over the ruined city of America's last stronghold. Bodies in the street, uncontrollable fires, enemies everywhere. "I still can't believe the Abyssals did all this." Zuikaku said, clenching her teeth, "All of these innocent people and for what? We still don't know what they want.…."We'll be back here I swear it. One day we'll retake it. I swear."

The world was hell, at-least it looked like that from above. As the C-17 began to accelerate faster and faster until the ramp finally closed and they were clear of the city, "Don't worry Zuikaku we will." Kirishima said, walking up to her and gripping her shoulder. A moment later the speaker in the cargo bay came to life, "Vice Admiral we're clear of enemy airspace. It seems they don't seem interested in following us. Where to now sir?"

Kirishima was about to say something, but Stacker quickly raised his hand, and began to get up from his seat, "I got this Kirishima."

"Y-Yes sir." She said, watching him stand.

He stood up and looked around. Ship girls and soldiers alike stared at him. Waiting from him to speak. To command them. He took a deep breath, then began to speak "Rendezvous with the fleets at Hawaii, then..." He trained off, looking at the girls around him. Kirishima and Zuikaku stared with hope in their eyes. He sighed slightly again then narrowed his eyes, "Make course for Japan."

I'm Only Human

.

.

The year is 20XX, humanity is locked in a brutal war of attrition with a mysterious and deadly enemy known only as the Abyssals.

We are losing...

The Abyssals have crushed every major nation in a matter of years with their overwhelming war machine. Billons have died. Country after country destroyed. The most powerful nations couldn't stand up to their might. Even with the help of the even more mysterious ship girls. Girls with the power and heart of age old war ships that can combat Abyssals head to head. Mankind will not last much longer in this war.

Now with the sudden whispers that the United States has fallen, all remaining militaries are converging on the Island nation of Japan for a last ditch effort to pull all their resources and counterattack the Abyssals. But success looks bleak. It is only a temporary solution at best. Humanity would need a miracle at best to save them... But the war continues, and mankind doesn't plan to go out with a whimper.

Location: North Philippine Sea

Date: 6/12/20XX

Unit: Combined Fleet Girls, Japanese Self Defense Force.

The warm waters of the Northern Philippines sea washed over her body, as she layed on top of the water. Her tattered and torn, white and blue uniform sank slightly into the sea. Her eyes remained closed as she sank further and further into the water. Even with the sound of dozens of aircraft filling the skies. Enemy aircraft. But she didn't care anymore. Her mission was over. Her comrades and friends all dead. They had won… the Abyssals had won, "I-It's over." She said aloud, opening her eyes, staring up at the now twilight sky. "To die on such a beautiful night." She began, as shooting stars started to jet across the skies. Her eyes soon started to fill with tears, "A-Akagi-San I'm sorry. I couldn't win this war or s….survive it." The girl said, clutching her hand tightly. "I failed this world….and you." She added, releasing her hand.

She desperately tried to get up, but had no success. The damage she had taken was too late. There was nothing she could do… this was the end, and she knew it. A lone tear slowly rolled off of her cheek, as she shut her eyes. She could hear multiple footsteps approaching her from across the water. But even if she still had the strength to fight she wouldn't be able to stand up against the Abyssals in her current state, "Southern Oni we found one of them that's still alive." A feminine voice said above her. The Abyssals. They had found her finally in the mess of the battlefield.

A moment later another pair of footsteps approached her. They felt a bit heavier and slower then the others, "Oh?" Another voice asked, as the girl began to open her eyes. But as they opened, her eyes instantly narrowed. Surrounding her were four Ta-class battleships and standing directly above her was none other then the Southern Oni, "It's a Japanese Aircraft Carrier. Originally meant to be a Tosa-class battleship but later converted into the Japanese Aircraft carrier Kaga." One of the Ta-class informed her superior with a small but demonic smirk.

The Demon smirked as well, but only hers was much more prominent, "Oh the Japanese? I haven't fought them in awhile. Heh. Their girls are so pathetic. Hardly even militarized. I'm surprised you've survived this long in the war." She said, gripping the girl by the neck and hoisting her up in the air like she was a simple plaything. Just the sight of this Abyssal gave Kaga a pounding headache.

Dangling by her feet the girl gripped the demons arm that was grabbing her and began to struggle, 'Y-You talk to much.' She said in her head, clenching her teeth in pain against the still prominent headache. There was nothing she could do. The Oni's smirk only got larger, as she reared back her fist and punched the girl in the stomach, "You're so weak. Kaga correct? You and Akagi were like sister correct?" She asked, not expecting an answer. "You shame her by being alive! You pathetic filth!" Southern Oni added, punching her in the stomach again. The girl now known as Kaga had to resist the urge to throw up, the demons punched were incredibly powerful, "Heh. You look so dreadful dear." She said, squeezing her tighter.

Kaga tried to keep a stoic expression on her face, but the Abyssal was beginning to break her. And they both knew it. The things the Southern Demon said were horrifying and disgusting. Her already bruised mind couldn't handle much more of the abuse from the monster. The pounding only increased in her head, increasing the painful sensation wrapping around her mind. Just like it had many times before, only this time it was different. 'This wasn't good.' She thought clenching her teeth harder.

The Oni then looked back to the Ta-classes, "What should we do with her girls?" She asked, raising Kaga higher up into the air. The other Abyssals all smirked. They knew exactly what they were going to do with her, "The same thing we do with every ship girl." One of them said stepping forward and licking her lips. Oni nodded, almost in glee as she suddenly shoved Kaga below the water, "Mmm yes. Let's give her to the destroyers. They'll just love her." She smiled, as Kaga struggled under the water. She wasn't designed for this, her body would soon sink completely if she didn't do something fast. It would be the end for real. No going back after that. Who would honor all the ship girls who died here? Who would fight with the same burning passion they had? Her mind was beginning to bend and break. But most importantly would she fail humanity? The Carrier had a chance here to survive. Would she really fall now? ….

'No.'

The word echoed in her head, as she felt her mind suddenly bend and snap even further. She couldn't handle it. Her emotions, feelings, and everything possible was going haywire in her brain. She couldn't handle it! She couldn't handle anymore of this death anymore!

Her pupils suddenly constricted and she grinned. Then as if a switch went off in her head she went over the limit and broke, 'I'll kill this bitch!' She screamed out in her mind, as she started to pull the Oni's arm.

Not being prepared for this, the demon was suddenly pulled onto to the surface of the water, but then started to sink. She couldn't hold the Carriers weight, "D-Dammit!" The Southern Oni called out, letting go of Kaga's neck. The Carrier immediately sprang back to the surface, and punched the Oni directly in the face. Causing her to tumble over onto the ocean surface.

All the Ta-class battleships watched in shock, not even noticing that Kaga a now took out a hidden blade, and was heading towards one of them. The Carrier narrowed her eyes coldly approaching the first Abyssal, "Sink!" She screamed out plunging her blade directly into the Ta-classes forehead. Killing her instantly. The other Abyssal next to her tried to back away in fear, but it was already too late. Kaga moved like lightly. She gripped the Battleships neck in seconds and sliced it in one swift movement.

A moment later both of the Abyssal fell over dead on the water and began to sink. Kaga smirked evilly at her handiwork, but then a moment later in one swift motion a hand gripped the side of her head. She clenched her teeth, and a moment later her face was slammed into the Southern Demon's knee, "Disrespectful fat bitch!" The Abyssal shouted out, grabbing her by the arm and throwing her across the water.

Kaga skid across the water until she came to an abrupt stop. At this point the meteor shower had gotten more intense. Staring up at it she gripped the side of her now bleeding head. Her pupils quickly returned to normal from being constricted, and she slumped on the waters surface. The Oni panted slightly watching her. 'Was this ship girl alright in the head?' She asked herself, staring at her. Kaga in the mean time stared down at her reflection in the water, "I will not give up here…..not like this!" She shouted out, lifting her head up only to be met with a kick across the face by the Demons boot. The Carrier fell over backwards onto the water. The Demon followed up by slamming her foot on top of Kaga's stomach. Southern Oni stared coldly at her, while the remaining Ta-class battleships approached her almost nervously from behind. Something had spooked them.

The Oni smirked and slammed her foot against Kaga again, then looked back towards her subordinates, "Take her away!" She ordered, digging her foot deeper into the young women. She grunted in pain, staring up at the monster in defiance. The Abyssal waited for a moment for the Ta-classes to appear. But after another second they didn't appear. The Demon turned her head to them with an annoyed scowl. In turn one of the Ta-classes walked forward, "Um Oni? She asked, moving up to her with concern filling her face, "What is it? She asked, crossing her arms and getting concerned to why they were not following her orders. The Ta-class gripped the side of her head, listening into something, "Radar is picking up a new target."

The Oni narrowed her eyes, "Where from!" She shouted. They had torn apart every ship girl in the area. If she had missed more then one it would've looked badly to her superiors. But now something seemed off. All of the Ta-classes were shaking. As if they were afraid of something, "Where!" The demon asked again, grabbing the Abyssal and gripping the collar of her shirt, "D-Directly above Oni!" She shouted out, causing the head Abyssal to look directly above her. What she saw caused her eye to widen.

A red fireball blazed above them, descending directly onto their position, "Is that a comet?" One of the Ta-class asked, moving to get a better view of it, giving Kaga a clear view as well. Her eyes focused on it. At first she was alarmed but then was fascinated by it. She was either incredibly lucky or now in the worst possible situation of her life right now.

But before they knew it the amazing red fireball accelerated and smashed violently almost directly on top of them. Scattering the group.

What happened next transpired in seconds. Thinking quickly Kaga grabbed onto one of the Ta-classes and used her as a shield, as the resulting fireball erupted toward them. She could feel the intense heat start to disintegrate the Ta-class before she herself was flung from the area. The Carrier soared through the sky until smashed into the water a good distance away from the area. Coming to an abrupt stop a second later. The entire area went quiet.

Kaga slowly lifted up her head trying to get her bearings, "W-What was that?" She asked beginning to stand up. But suddenly gripped the side of her head in pain, as a ringing noise interrupted everything and filled her mind. The Carriers right hand shook uncontrollably, and a bright image suddenly flashed across Kaga's mind. She clenched her teeth madly, 'S-Stop it!' The girl yelled out in her head.

But then just like that the noise was gone, the small headache was still present in her head though. Kaga tried to stabilize her mind. A loud groan suddenly took her away from that and she remembered her original task. So in spite of what just happened Kaga continued to get up and take a good look of whatever impacted in front of her.

However the sight that she was met with was shocking. Kaga couldn't see an Abyssal in sight anymore, but now the spot where she had just stood was smoking. Like what it would have looked like if it had impacted on solid ground, 'Strange.' She thought to herself. Then towards the center of all of this it started to bubble. She braced herself for anything. Could it have been some Abyssal weapon? But a moment later she watched something float up to the surface. She couldn't tell what it was from where she was at. The Carrier needed to get closer.

But as she started to move the young women winched in pain and suddenly gripped her right arm in pain. Kaga looked down at it, only to see the left sleeve of her uniform soaked in blood, "O-Ow." She stuttered out, putting pressure on the wound. That wasn't good. Another wound meant that she was closer to sinking now.

After another moment of composing herself, Kaga was brought back to reality, as the object began to move and a groan was heard. 'A person?' She thought to herself. The girls first instincts were to help and before she knew it she had begun to limp towards it. The Carrier looked back at her outfit, it was in complete shambles. No longer operational. She was completely vulnerable as she walked up to whatever this thing was, "H-Hello?" She asked getting closer. As her eyes rested on the person, they widen in shock.

A man…..a fairly young man rested ontop of the water. Kaga tilted her head slightly, "H-Hello? Are you okay?" She asked aloud, scanning the man's body. He didn't appear to be an Abyssal, but he was in pretty bad shape. Even then she moved closer to get a better look. From what she could see he wore a very tore and battered orange and black jacket. Along with that he wore torn orange pants and a black forehead protector with symbol she had never seen before. It had looked like he had just been in a major fire fight. Blood dripped from his forehead. Her eyes narrowed in concern, as she moved to stand above him, and began to examine the source of the blood. But as she did, Kaga began to inspect his facial features. However as she did this the Carrier slightly gasped at the sight of his cheeks. Three whisker like marks covered each of them. Could they have been tattoos? Other then that he looked like a pretty ordinary human, but she was also intrigued by his irregular spiky blonde hair.

"U..…U….Uhh." The man groaned, his body moving slightly in the water. Kaga's instincts immediately kicked in and she bent down. The blondes eyes slowly opened and stared up at the girl. Her amber brown eyes instantly locked with the man's bright ocean blue eyes. The ever present pain in the back of her head faded instantly, as she stared. Kaga couldn't keep her eyes off of him. How could his eyes even be that bright? A small unseen blush appeared on her now stoic face before the blonde began to speak, "W-What? Who are you?"

"I'm Kaga." She said, trying to keep her usual composure. But in her head there were multiple questions bouncing around. The main one was why the pain suddenly stopped the moment she saw him?

"I-I'm Naruto Uzumaki. Shinobi from Konoha. T-That was one hell of a fall." He said weakly staring up at her. Kaga could tell he wasn't in a very good condition. But then again falling out of the sky would do that to anyone, 'I'm just surprised he survived the fall.' She thought to herself. Still he did seem odd. They way he looked and the way he was dressed was evidence enough. Nevertheless she still had to get him out of here before more Abyssals showed up, "Well Naruto we need to get you out of here. It isn't safe." She began, bending down and going to help him.

"Mmm. She's right it isn't safe here." A voice suddenly said with a crazed tone behind her. Kaga turned her head just in time to see a fist filling her entire field of vision, "Ah!" She yelped out, as she was sent flying onto the waters surface. Kaga rolled for a moment then quickly got back to her feet only to be met with The Southern Oni standing directly in front of her with a bloody smile. Her entire body was either badly bruised or dripping in blood from various wounds, "Well hello there little Carrier! Thought I was dead?!" She shouted suddenly gripping Kaga's throat and lifting her up. "I'm going to crush your little throat!" She added, beginning to squeeze the life out of her. Kaga struggled and tried her best to get out of her grip, but wasn't having much success. All that anger from earlier had suddenly faded.

But as this transpired the blonde raised his head, watching everything unfold, "Hey leave her alone!" He shouted, beginning to stand up on the water. Although neither of the girls were paying attention to him. But in response to the boys protest The Southern Demon only increased the pressure, "N-No." Was all she could muster, beginning to lose consciousness as her windpipe began to break under the force of the Oni. "That's right! Die! Die! Die! DIE!" The Demon screamed sadisticly. Kaga looked into her eyes, the Abyssal had the same crazed expression she was sure she had just a little while ago. The Southern Demon smirks, and began to speak, "I'll crush the life from-" But her rant was instantly cut short, as a fist connected with her cheek and she was sent flying across the water.

Kaga was immediately released from the Oni's grip and began to fall to the waters surface. Having already sustained heavy damage she wouldn't even be able to stay afloat. She closed her eyes and braced for the sudden rush of water that would soon approach her.

"Huh?" The Carrier asked aloud, opening her eyes. She had never even hit the water. Someone had caught her on the way down. She slowly looked up to the person, "Hey are you okay?" The blonde haired man asked, smiling down at her as he stood on the water. Kaga in turn was speechless, as she looked up at him. But in her mind a million different questions were spinning in her head. How did he do that to the Demon? How was he standing on the water? Again how did he make the pain stop? Something clicked in her mind as she looked at the blonde, another switch went off in her head. A blush soon followed this mental action.

"Uh Kaga?" The blonde asked again.

His words instantly brought her out of the daze and the unknown blush turned into a blush of embarrassment this time, "U-Uh yeah. Thank you Naruto. But um how did you do that?" She asked.

"What do you mean?" Naruto asked.

She tried to compose herself a bit better, "Well I've never seen a human go head to head with an Abyssal. L-Let alone stand on the water." She stuttered out, gripping her blood soaked sleeve in pain.

Naruto eyes focused on her sleeve. It didn't look good, "Are you okay?" He asked.

Kaga had her eyes squeezed shut for a moment from the pain, "Y-Yeah- Look out!" She screamed opening her eyes just in time to see the Oni speeding behind Naruto. Hand posed to strike him.

Naruto turned his head, but didn't have enough time to fully dodge the attack. So instead he covered Kaga completely. As a result the Oni slashed him clean across the back with a smirk. But the blonde didn't let that stop him, he instantly reared his elbow back, which struck her across the face. The Southern Oni was sent back a few feet with a smirk, "Tch." Naruto groaned, gripping his back in pain. He lifted up his head and turned around. Staring the Demon down, but he wasn't the only one pissed off. Kaga stared at the Oni menacingly, as her pupils constricted, and they glazed over. She didn't know why she acted like this. But just the thought of this man being hurt drove her over the deep end.

"Well. Well. Looks like it was a weapon from the humans." The Southern Oni giggled, trying to stare down Naruto, as well. But the blonde wasn't going to be intimidated by her. "I-I really don't know what's going on here. But I do know one thing. I won't sit idly by while you try to hurt a defenseless women!" He shouted, clenching his teeth. The Oni simply smirked, and began to move towards the two. But as she did this Naruto began to move his fingers in a strange way, "Magic tricks human?" The Southern Demon asked with a laugh, "You can't be serious!" She screamed out, rushing them.

Naruto smirked as he finished, "Shadow clone justu!" He shouted as a puff of white smoke appeared to his side and a identical copy of himself stood with his arms crossed. The Oni eyes widen in confusion, and she hesitated for a moment….

But the clone wasn't confused. He used this time to strike first. The copy rushed towards her, with determination. Oni narrowed her eyes as he approached, she didn't care what this man was. All she knew now was that he had to be defeated. She was prepared. But as the copy neared her he disappeared, "Huh?" The Oni asked, only to be met with a punch to the side of her face a split second later. Then the copy appeared behind her and slammed her head into the water with his fist. She tried to retaliate but had no success, as the clone pick her up and kicked her directly in the gut. Causing her to be sent flying across the water. Oh how the tides have turned.

Kaga was amazed as she watched his feat. He had done what not even one of their capital ships could do to an Abyssal. Musashi would be jealous of him. He was certainly not an ordinary human either. Standing on water, creating copies of himself, and having more power behind his punches then a Yamato class battleship.

The Southern Demon staggered back and clenched her fist, "Stupid human. I wasn't going to hurt her. I was going to do much worse. Which won't even compare to what I'll do to you, once I get my hands on YOU!" She screamed moving back toward him in a zig-zag like motion, a strange red type of energy burning from her eyes. In turn his clone braced himself for her, and narrowing his eyes, "Not going to happen lady." The blondes said, smacking his hands together, "I'm giving you one chance to surrender!"

The Oni stopped for a moment and tilted her head madly, "Haha! Me? Surrender? To a worthless human like you? Don't make me laugh! Now die like the rest of your race!" She continued her rush towards the blonde, with a gleeful smile. Naruto could tell she was no longer in the right state of mind. He slowly took out one of his last kunai's and moved towards her as well.

Wanting to end this as soon as possible.

The clone closed the distance between the two in a matter of seconds. The Oni immediately put up her arms as a guard, but it was no use from the man's pure strength. He knocked her arms up plunged the kunai straight into her stomach, "Gah!" She cried out, being pushed back as the clone reared back his other arms, which now had a bright blue object in his right hand. The Oni's eyes widen in horror and shock, as the object neared her.

"RASENGAN!" He screamed out, slamming it into her already damaged gut. Her insides were instantly grinned into oblivion, and she was sent flying out of the water as he let go of the object. She sailed through the air until she collided with the water again. She slide across the top, then began to roll violently across the top until she smashed into the surface hard, resulting in a massive explosion infront of Kaga, Naruto and his clone. The original smirked a moment later, then dispelled his clone, before kneeling on the ground with Kaga, "Man fighting a war, battling a self-proclaimed god, then falling out of the sky really does do a number on you. You know?" He asked panting slightly, looking over at Kaga with an exhausted smile.

But the Carrier didn't say a word. Again she simply stared up at the blonde, "Are you okay?" Naruto asked, tilting his head. Kaga slowly nodded, as dozens of thoughts spiraled in her exhausted mind again, 'H-He saved me.' She said inside her head, 'And the pain in my head is gone.' Kaga's added. Her mind suddenly fractured even more and her eyes glazed over for a split second, but faded a moment later. Her mind was a complete mess.

Naruto in the meantime looked around at their surroundings. Nothing but water in every direction. This wasn't good. They needed to find a place to seek shelter soon, "Do you have a place we could stay?" He asked, looking around.

Kaga simply pointed in the direction behind him, "That way Naruto. Our Naval base is in that direction. It shouldn't take us too long to get there." She said, before going back to her state of silence.

Naruto raised an eyebrow, "Naval base?" But she didn't say a word after that, she just went back to staring blankly at the water, 'Great that's about everything I'm going to get from her. Hope she's not wrong.' He thought to himself, moving across the water towards where this Naval base hopefully resided.

2 Hours later

Naruto was walking across the water, carrying Kaga on his back when an island finally came into view on the horizon. He couldn't see very far but Naruto could tell that there were structures on the Island. Even if it wasn't the naval base Kaga spoke of, atleast he had found some civilization. Maybe now he could find out where he was at, and what in the world was going on.

"Geez that took forever." The blonde said, walking across the water getting closer and closer to the Island. But suddenly something else came into view heading towards him from the island. Naruto couldn't make them out from that distance, but he could definitely tell that they were people. Having Kaga on his back, he couldn't do much so the Uzumaki decided to wait it out and see what happens.

Surprisingly the blonde was right. They were people. All young girls infact. In no time they had surrounded the two. All of them wore strange looking devices on their backs, that had cannon like weapons attached to them. Similar to the thing Kaga had. None of the girls looked alike either. All of them had a unique appearance about them. But even with their unique looks none of them seemed to be the out going type. They all simply stared at Naruto. It made him nervous.

"Hands up and don't move!" One of the girls finally ordered, stepping forward. She had short dark green hair that was covered by a hat and with that she also had a unique eye-patch covering her right eye. Naruto really couldn't describe what her outfit was like, only that she wore a black cape that covered her right shoulder. Without warning she aimed the lone gun on her right shoulder towards him, "I said hands up!" She ordered again, crossing her arms.

"Well I can't put my hands up or I'll drop her." He said, motioning back to a passed out Kaga. The girls looked and gasped at the sight of Kaga. "What are you doing with her?!" The lead girl shouted, stepping closer to him, a scowl quickly filling her face.

"If you hurt her!" Another girl shouted, stepping forward. Her guns raised as well. Scowls filled the other girls faces as well. Naruto's eyes widen and he immediately put his tried to diffuse the situation, "W-Wait it's not what you think! She was being attacked by a strange looking lady. I stepped in and saved her!" The blonde tried to explain.

The lead girl back off slightly, taking a chance, "Did this women have white skin? Strange looking eyes?" She asked.

"Yeah she did." Naruto nodded beginning to recount how what had happened when he first arrived here. Telling them about Kaga finding him and the fight with strange women. As he spoke the girls began to lower their guns and guards. Listening to the boy. "Amazing. You defeated The Southern Oni single handily?" One of them asked, a joyful and excited expression filled her face.

The lead girl began to speak up, "So it was an Abyssal then. For your sake you better not be lying. What's your name?" She asked, walking up to him, as Kaga began to stir in his back.

"Uh Naruto Uzumaki." The blonde said, as he now looked down at her. She looked bigger from further away. The girl smirked slightly, "I am Kiso. Youngest sister of the Kuma-class light cruisers. As well as the chief of harbor patrol." She said, going back to crossing her arms.

Naruto smiled at her, "Nice to meet you."

The girl now known as Kiso nodded and turned back towards the other girls, "Radio in to the Admiral! Tell him we found Kaga. As well as an interesting man." She ordered turning back to the Uzumaki slightly. One of the girls stepped forward, "Yes ma'am. Right away." She began to tap the side of her head and start relaying the message.

Kiso nodded again and turned back to Naruto who stood anxiously with a still unconscious Kaga. "Now Naruto. What are you?" She suddenly asked.

"Huh?" The Uzumaki asked, just as Kaga's eyes fluttered open.

"How are you standing on the water!" She suddenly screamed out, causing all of the girls and Naruto to tense back up, "Are you an Abyssal as well!" She added, pointing her cannon in his face. The blondes eyes widen in shock, "No normal human could-" But she was immediately interrupted as a hand reached out from behind Naruto and gripped the cannon. Kiso and the blonde tensed up, knowing exactly who the hand belonged too. The rest of the girls immediately turned their heads in shock to see Kaga holding Kiso's cannon, "Keep your hands away from him. He saved my life!" She shouted out, pupils constricting again.

"Kaga?" Naruto asked, looking back at the damaged Carrier in concern. His eyes widen at the sight of hers. Her personality certainly seemed to take a 180°. What had happened to this girl?

Kiso almost immediately jumped back in surprised at the sight of her eyes, "N-Now just calm down here Kaga." She said putting both her hands up in protest, "You're not well. You weren't even supposed to be cleared for combat yet, let alone spearhead a assault on an enemy position." She revealed. Naruto's eyes widen. Kaga was sick?

"Shut up! Back away now!" The Carrier barked, her pupils still constricted. Everyone tensed up as she shouted. Naruto looked around, watching all of the girls. This wasn't good. Things could escalate and set off like a time bomb. He needed to calm everyone down. So the blonde did the only thing he thought was right, "Hey calm down. I'm fine." He looked back at Kaga and smiled while lightly gripping her hand with his, trying to reassure the girl. The effects were almost instant, as she proceeded to lower her head in silence on the blondes back.

All the girls seemed to all sigh, watching Kaga lower her head. Kiso took a breath of relief as well. 'I'm sure glad I didn't have to use any force.' She thought to herself. Fighting a Carrier wasn't in her schedule today. But just as she as about to lower her guard and relax, one of the girls from earlier sailed over to her, "Kiso. I have word from the Admiral. He's ordered that Kaga is immediately dry-docked and transported to the med-bay."

"What about the man?" Kiso asked, greatly relieved that she would no longer have to deal with these two, "The Admiral has ordered the same for him." She said with a bow before sailing back to the rest of the girls.

Kiso nodded with a small smile before turning back to Kaga and Naruto, "Looks like we'll have to finish this conversation another time. Follow us. Slowly." She ordered to the blonde, starting to move towards the Naval base behind them.

"Yeah you got it." Naruto said, adjusting the silent Kaga on his back and moving behind Kiso towards the base. All the other girls were on each side of them, watching him carefully for any sudden movements. Naruto and the others continued towards the Naval base for a few more minutes until they finally came to the edge of a dock. Kiso climbed onto the dock, soon followed by Naruto and a few of the girls. They surrounded the blonde and Kaga. "Follow us. Don't even try anything." Kiso ordered as she began to march them through the Naval base.

Naruto looked around at all of the different types of buildings. They looked so modern and sleek, much different compared to the older buildings of his village. But with the new architecture, the blonde also saw different and unique girls staring at the group. Each of them had their own look. Naruto wondered if these girls were all the types of fighters that Kaga was? But it was a question meant for later as they walked through the doorway of a very nice looking building. He guessed this must be the bases medbay.

Inside the blonde was met with a waiting room not too different from Konaha's. Walking past the front desk Kiso nodded at a blue haired girl, she quickly nodded back to her and they continued through the waiting room.

Eventually they made it through the front of the building and now were walking in the back hallways until they came to a lone room. Kiso immediately opened the door and pointed inside, "Stay in here. Both of you. Someone will be along in a shorty to speak to you." She instructed. Naruto almost instantly followed her orders and moved into the room. He looked around, examining the place. It looked like an average check-up room in a hospital room, only with a couch pushed up against the far wall.

Seeing that they were secure, Kiso shut the door quickly. Leaving the two completely alone. Naruto quietly moved Kaga over to the lone couch, to examine her, "Jeez they could've at least given her some medical attention first." Naruto said, holding his hands up to her arm, "Kaga are you alright?" He added, his hands began to glow green as healed the wound on her arm.

"Y-Yeah." She stuttered out, not saying a word about the strange green glow coming from his hands. All she knew was that it made her entire arm feel better. She wouldn't question it. But as this thought crossed her mind, her head started to throb in main, "Tch." She said allowed, gripping the side of her head from the sudden pain, "Is your head alright?" Naruto asked out in concern, looking up at her. Kaga nodded, clenching her eyes closed. The pain was getting worse, "Here." Naruto added, putting both of his hands on her head.

"N-No stop." Kaga protested as the green energy started to form around her head. But a moment later intense pain that had been causing her so much distress, instantly faded. Her eyes widen in relief and she leaned against Naruto suddenly out of impulse. Because with the pain gone, she could now truly feel how tired she was, "What d-did you do?" She stuttered out, looking up at the blonde.

Naruto sighed, there was no use hiding it, since she's already seen him stand on the water, "Well um…I used my chakra." He revealed. The Carrier simply tilted her head in confusion.

"And what might that be?" An unknown voice said from the other end of the room. Both of them turned to see a man staring at them from the doorway. He had spiky short brunette hair, with dark brown eyes. He wore a completely white naval uniform, with various ribbons on his chest. The blonde could tell he might've been a high ranking official or something like that.

But upon the sight of the man, Kaga tried to stand up and salute, but she struggled. Naruto grabbed her arm, causing her to stop, "A-Admiral Masaki." She stuttered out, wincing.

The man now known as Masaki walked inside the room, "At ease Kaga. No need for that." He said, walking up to them and pulling up a chair from at a desk in the corner near them. "Admiral?" Naruto asked staring up at him again, his hands glowing green again as they focused on Kaga's wounds.

Masaki stared at Naruto for a moment, leaning in. He seemed to be examining his facial features, "Naruto Uzumaki wasn't it?" He finally asked, leaning back in the chair, seeming to be content with his observation. Kaga suddenly gripped onto his arm, but kept her head down. Naruto mentally sighed, 'Looks like I'm on my own for this one.' He thought to himself.

Naruto perked up, "Uh yeah. But can we worry about that later? Kaga needs some medical attention." He said, looking down at the Carrier. Even though he had healed most of her wounds, it would still probably be beneficial for her to get checked out by more certified people.

The man nodded to him, but then leaned in even more, "In time. I am Admiral Masaki Ishimaru, of the Combined Fleet Girls." He said, narrowing his eyes, as a women walked into the doorway behind them. She stared the blonde down, and leaned against the doorway. A second later Naruto brought his attention back to Masaki, "Tell me.….What are you and what is this Chakra?" He asked, Kaga's grip increasing on his shoulder.

The blonde gulped. This was going to be an interesting day.

Meanwhile the women at the doorway watched the blonde young man, and Kaga interact as Masaki practically began to interrogate him. When she had first heard the news of the arrival of this man, she didn't know what to think. A human who could stand on water? It sounded like something out of a comic book or a some legend. Regular humans could certainty never do that, she hoped this meant something significant for this place…..and the world.

"Nagato-san!" A voice suddenly shouted out from behind her. The women now known as Nagato turned her head to see a younger girl running towards her with a hand full of books and papers. She had long flowing blue hair, with equally blue eyes. Nagato instantly recognized her, "Oh Samidare." She said, turning fully just as the girl reached her panting. She quickly bowed to Nagato and handed her everything in her hands, "I brought the files on Kaga-san, that the Admiral ordered." She informed her.

Nagato smiled. She had always liked Samidare. Not only was she one of the fleets most decisive and powerful destroyers. But she also was an apprentice to Nagato herself. A secretary ship in training basically, "I'll take them. Thank you." Nagato said, beginning to look through the files herself. They were mainly after actions reports and medical records.

"I hope Kaga-san will be alright." Samidare said, looking up at Nagato with a frown. In turn the battleship placed her hand on the young destroyers shoulder, "She's strong. She'll make it." Nagato smiled, looking back to the barely still conscious Kaga. She looked incredibly tired.

Samidare sighed lightly, "Ever since….well the incident nothing's been the same. She's seemed so distance. Alone." She said, looking into the room her eyes perking up at the sight of the blonde haired man.

Nagato leaned against the wall, clutching the documents tighter, "Kaga's one of our strongest girls. She's stood fast against the Abyssals. She managed to survive that terrible mission just now. Even though all the other girls were killed in action. She'll shake this off. I'm sure of it." She said, looking up at the ceiling, narrowing her eyes and clutching her fist, recalling the suicidal mission that Kaga joined without permission.

Samidare looked back from the room, with a faint smile, "Yeah. You're right." Nagato always knew what to say in these situations. But just then a question jumped into her mind, "So that's the man Kiso-chan was talking about?" She asked motioned back to the room.

Nagato nodded, "Indeed. I hope everything works out. There's something about that man, that's certainly seems interesting." She said, peaking back into the room.

Samidare faintly smiled again, "Whatever that may-be. I'm sure the Admiral can help us figure that out. He's helped us survive this long in the war." She paused, taking a look at a clock on the wall above Nagato, "Anyway I'll be taking my leave Nagato-san." She bowed to her before walking off down the hallway. Nagato watched her leave and then once she was out of sight frowned at the young destroyers words,"Your hearts in the right place Samidare. But Masaki doesn't just want us to survive."

She pushed off of the wall, and took one last look at Kaga and the mysterious man before taking her own leave, "Damn her for not following orders. She was supposed to stay drydocked. She's one of our last Aircraft Carriers left... Akagi would be disappointed in her." Nagato said allowed, clutching her fist as she began to read Kaga's latest medical report which were over a week old.

Nagato tore the paper slightly looking over the casualty list, "D-Dammit. Still to many. Idiotic Fleet Command. A waste of lives. We still have to add the lives lost in todays mission as well." She clenched her teeth, reading over the report again until she found what she was looking for.

*More interviews and medical tests will have to be done to find the full extent of damage done to her mind after these events.

*Absolutely not fit for active duty and should be confined to the Naval base until further notice.

~Akashi, Chief Medical Officer

Nagato put the paper back in the documents and sighed, "Dammit Kaga, don't do this to yourself. Going on suicide missions isn't the answer." She said, pausing thinking about the blonde haired man. He definitely wasn't the average person, that was for sure. But Kaga already seemed to take a liking to him, "So…..maybe he can help her, and in turn the rest of us." She said, walking off down the hallway without another word.

But in reality that battleship didn't know how correct she was going to be.

A/N: Phew! Done! Ha!

Now I know there might be some questions on why Kaga was acting the way she was, but I hoped the last part helped clear that up. I'm going for a more Yandere feel for her at the very beginning.

In turn that also means this won't be like the last Naruto and Kantai collection fanfic. I'll be setting a darker tone for this one. Both Naruto and Kaga's back stories will be explained in upcoming chapters, so not to worry. Also I know in this chapter it might've felt that Naruto was a supporting character, but not too worry, in chapter 2 that'll change.

So if you'd like to continue with this story then stay tune for chapter 2, if not then thank you for stopping by. If you have any confusion on anything feel free to PM me so I can try and help clear it up.
