IS X Naruto chp 01

Beta'd by Satsujinki Nanaya

Many years ago before our story began it all started with the birth of a child to a lady of a well-known research company known as Kushina Namikaze.

For hours her husband Minato Namikaze paced near the entrance to the maternity ward while his father Jiraiya sat in the plastic chairs and patiently waited for any news about his daughter in law as well as his grandchild.

After many hours of waiting for the two outside, Naruto Namikaze was born into this world and placed into the arms of his two loving parents who cradled him that night before he was taken to the nursery where he was placed to rest alongside the other newborn babies who were asleep in the nursery.

While baby Naruto slept in his crib another baby was mistakenly placed into his crib by a nurse who had a very long and tiring day, the small baby girl had a tuft of lilac purple hair. And as the both of them slept the night away the girl turned over and latched onto Naruto's body.

When the nurse came to check on the conditions of the baby in the morning she noticed the mistake she made and quickly tried to correct it, but when the girl was placed into another crib she would start crying so with no other choice left the nurse moved her back into Naruto's crib where she would stop crying almost immediately and instead turn to him and wrap her small arms around whatever part of his body was closest.

When the parents came to check on their respective babies they saw the cute sight of little Naruto being held one by another baby girl.

That was the start of a great friendship between the girl known as Nepgear and Naruto, as well as a great partnership between Namikaze industries and Planeptune productions.

[Years later]

Many years had passed since that day and both Nepgear and Naruto were nearly inseparable both of them had hobbies related to their family business, Nepgear found herself good with robotics while Naruto found himself good in coding and software making but even though their friendship was strong it wasn't uncommon to see Naruto running for the hills with Nepgear hot on his tails with a machine in her hands frizzing out due to faulty software programmed by Nepgear.

Nepgear also had an older sister known as Neptune she wasn't home most of the time due to her studies overseas but she treated Naruto as the younger brother she never had, same with Naruto as he treated Neptune as the older sister he never had.

Both Planeptune productions and Namikaze industries were pioneers in their fields until came the advent of the revolution in the field of weapons known as IS, Infinite Stratos changed the ways weapons were developed, built and thought of.

An IS unit was a humanoid fighting suit with the strength of an entire battalion combined with the speed of the worlds most advanced fighter jet and so much more, initially designed as a powered exoskeleton to be used in space exploration , unfortunately it could only be piloted by females.

The advent of the IS changed many things about weapons development but both Namikaze industries as well as Planeptune productions were ready to begin research and development into its field.

[With Naruto and Nepgear]

"C'mon Nep-chan there is something that I want to show you!" Called out Naruto as the two of them ran up a hill of flowers.

"Wait Naruto-kun!"

Before too long the two of them reached the top of the hill and hiding beyond it was a most beautiful sight, it was the ocean in all its glory, waves splashing against the cliff face while the sunset beyond was unhindered by anything and the clouds were the most beautiful shade of orange and yellow anyone had ever seen.

"Wow it's all so beautiful Naruto-kun!" Gushed Nepgear as the both of them took in the sights.

"Yeah and you know what Nep-chan I want this place to be a special place for all of my friends, one day I'll have a lot of friends and I'll bring them all here hehehe." Replied Naruto with a smile on his face.

[Timeskip]

Years had passed since that day and both Naruto and Nepgear grew up well, Naruto grew up to have spiky blonde hair and heterochromatic eyes one blue and the other purple while Nepgear grew up to be a beautiful girl with long lilac hair and eyes a few shades darker than her hair.

The day the construction of one of the first Namikaze industries as well as Planeptune productions IS was finally completed they dubbed it the Lancelot after one of King Arthur's knight.

The Lancelot was built using pieces made by Planeptune productions while Namikaze industries worked on the software that was carefully built from the ground up mostly by Naruto to function specifically with the Lancelot design in mind.

It's equipment comprised of 4 slash harkens with two located on the arms and another two on the hips, two MVS (Maser Vibrational Sword) which used energy to power itself up thus working as both a kinetic weapon as well as an energy weapon and last but not least was the VARIS rifle which was able to change its ammunition type based on the situation.

However the major flaw of the Lancelot was that it's OS was too advanced for any of the female pilots that were under contract to the two corporations to use, it was always displaying an unknown error whenever they tried to start it up and when they tried to downgrade the OS to something that would function in a much more simpler manner they found that the Lancelot performed well below the average of any IS unit even pre-productions models had a better performance than the Lancelot.

So eventually the Lancelot found itself placed into the storeroom of Namikaze industries, a testament to the failure of the first combined project of both corporations.

Both corporations eventually moved on to other projects abandoning everything under the project Lancelot designs.

But Naruto, he never gave up on the Lancelot and whenever he had free time the workers would always see him going through the Lancelot's software to try to make it simpler to use but each time an update was performed the Lancelot still wouldn't work always presenting an error message and rejecting the updates.

Now Naruto, who was wearing glasses, was seated in the warehouse a laptop in his lap as he worked through the software of the Lancelot cursing every once in a while.

"Ah man Lancelot c'mon just work you have so much potential and to see it all rendered useless is a serious waste." Typing sounds were heard as Naruto ran his software one more time but there was a notice of some kind of connection error so he took his reading glasses off and went behind the Lancelot to check the cable connecting it and his laptop.

As soon as he touched the surface of the Lancelot he felt a large influx of information rushing onto his mind and when it was done Naruto stumbled about trying to ease his headache but couldn't and collapsed to the ground fainting from the pain.

"Naruto-kun!" Nepgear cried out dropping her glass of juice when she saw Naruto collapse to the ground.

Later on once Naruto woke up and they asked him what was going on he told them all about the influx of information that he received from the Lancelot. Both Kushina and Minato were surprised but they brought him down to an IS testing building and there they found out that Naruto could actually pilot an IS or more specifically he could now pilot the Lancelot and to avoid him being hounded by other companies or the government they came to a decision.

He was sent to IS academy under the heading of a test pilot for the Lancelot so with Nepgear he would be part of class 1-2 and the 2nd male pilot in the history of IS with a boy being called Ichika Orimura being the first ever male pilot who discovered his ability just a few days before Naruto did.

[Class 1-1 IS Academy]

Ichika was seated at his table face down, his morning was terrible to say the least, he just realized that he was the only male in his class he heard that there was another male at the school but unfortunately he wasn't in the same class.

He was about to go off to the canteen when he saw a blonde boy who was standing by his side smiling. "Hey you're Ichika Orimura right?"

Ichika nodded. "Yeah and who are you if I may ask?"

"Oh me I'm Naruto Namikaze and I'm the second male ever able to pilot an IS, its nice to meet you Orimura-kun."

"Likewise Namikaze-kun." Naruto took a seat in an empty seat and the two of them hit it off in a rather friendly fashion but soon their conversation was interrupted by Nepgear who came bursting through the doors of class 1-1.

"Naruto-kun what are you doing here? It's time for breakfasts come one lets go!" Nepgear had a rather pouty look on her face while she dragged Naruto towards the canteen.

"Ja ne Orimura-kun I'll take to you another time." Ichika waved goodbye to Naruto.

'I'm glad that someone like Namikaze-san is here he really makes me feel like I've known him for a long-time.' However someone walked in front of Ichika.

"Ichika can I talk to you?" She asked.

[With Naruto and Nepgear]

They were currently in line to grab their food and Nepgear was lecturing Naruto about running away and leaving her in the room complete with a pouty face.

"Hey don't be like that Nep-chan I didn't mean to leave you there it's just that I wanted to meet Orimura-kun before class really started." Apologized Naruto.

"But that still doesn't mean you should have left me alone Naruto-kun." Nepgear looked up and quickly scanned the menu looking for what seemed good.

"I'll have the breakfast set A also I'd like a pudding to go with that order please, Naruto-kun what will you be ordering?" Naruto scanned the menu and gave his order to the lady behind the counter before the two of them moved down the line to collect their order before they looked for a place to sit down and eat.

"Gear-chan! Naru-kun! Over here" The both of them looked over and saw Neptune Nepgear's older sister.

"So how did the two of you like your classroom?" Asked Neptune as all of them began to dig into their meal.

"It was nice Nee-san I sure hope that our class has many great people." Naruto agreed with Nepgear.

"Yeah I hope so too." All three of them had a good breakfast but it was interrupted somewhat by a girl with black hair tied into two pigtails complaining about the lunch centre running out of pudding.

[Class 1-2]

All of them were currently seated and awaited the arrival of their teachers and while this was going on Nepgear worked on a special project that she did not let Naruto see at all.

Finally their teachers stepped in and introduced themselves.

First up was the woman who was wearing a coat and had a green ribbon holding her hair up. "Welcome all of you to IS Academy I'm going to be your Homeroom teacher for the next few years you can all just call me IF-sensei."

"And you can call me Compa-sensei if you have any trouble or injuries then please don't hesitate to come and find me…" Their other Sensei stood slightly taller than IF-sensei had light pink hair, she was wearing a high neck wool sweater and hooked on her side was a small medipack.

"Now let's go around the room and introduce yourselves with any details you think is good, don't be shy."

They started at the very front of the class going down row by row when it reached Nepgear she happily stood up gave her name, hobbies and likes.

When it was Naruto's turn murmurs were heard from some of the other girls in the class about how they were so lucky to have the second male IS pilot in their class but when they started mentioning how cute he looked it made Nepgear a little jealous.

"Hi everyone I'm Naruto Namikaze nice to meet all of you I don't have much experience in piloting an IS but I have a lot of technical skills so please guide me." Some girls felt the need to clap at his introduction these girls included Nepgear before they continued.

"So with introductions out of the way now we have some important business to take care of." IF moved and sat behind the behind the desk while Compa stood by her side. "And that is who you want to be your class representative. Remember your class representative will be the one who will represent our class in events concerning the other classes and this person will also have a seat on the student council, so let's all give it some thought."

IF stood up and clapped her hands. "Now let's head out to the arena today."

A girl with short, sandy-brown neck length hair raised her hand and asked. "But Sensei what about the theory of IS maneuvers?"

IF simply waved her hand. "My philosophy is the best way to learn is by doing so come on everyone change and head down to the arena."

IF walked out followed by Compa who was complaining about IF's attitude but IF simply waved it off making Compa pout cutely.

Naruto was about to change into his custom IS suit and was in the process of taking off his uniform jacket off when suddenly Nepgear came up to him and tapped his shoulder.

"Um Naruto-kun aren't you forgetting something?" Naruto turned releasing his jacket, letting it fall back onto his shoulder and saw all the girls in the room some with hopeful eyes while others had a little drool coming out of their mouths.

"Oh right...yeah I'm just going to the nearest changing room." Naruto grabbed his pilot suit and dashed out heading for the nearest changing room which would happen to be on the other side of the school while some girls groaned at the missed chance to see a half-naked guy.

[Minutes later]

Naruto dashed out into the arena completely missing his stop and crashed into a girl landing in between her legs and he recognized her from the cafeteria as the one who complained about there not being anymore pudding.

"Ah go-" However before he could finish his apology the girl screamed loudly and kicked Naruto backwards making him land against the podium that both IF and Compa were standing on.

Compa quickly ran to Naruto's side and turned him up and very quickly began checking his condition very soon Naruto ended up as a mummy covered with bandages.

"Um Compa-sensei...thanks for the concern but I don't need that much wrappings." Naruto spoke in a muffled voice as his mouth was also covered by bandages.

Compa very quickly noticed what she did wrong and unwrapped Naruto while the other girl continued to fume at the fact that Naruto was in between her legs.

"Oh I'm sorry Namikaze-san." Apologized Compa but Naruto waved it off and got in line with the other girls some of them were blushing while others followed the black haired girl's example and were fuming at that show of pervertedness.

"Alright now that that has been taken care of let's get some action in, Eeny, meeny, miny, moe I pick...you two." IF ended up pointing at both Naruto and the black haired girl that Naruto knocked into. "Naruto and Uni please step forward the both of you will be our volunteers for today."

Naruto and the now named Uni stepped forward and stood side by side. "Alright so I want both of you to put on a fight for us bring out your IS units and take your place in the air."

"Hai Sensei." The two of them responded as they backed off and prepared to transform.

For Uni her IS seemed unconventional in the least as it was missing most of the armor on the feet and arms that the usual IS had instead opting for form fitting gauntlets with claws at the end and armored boots while retaining floating attachments for her weapons.

As for Naruto his IS could also be considered unusual as it formed around his body completely engulfing it in grey plates by his hips were two sheaths holding what seemed to be two blades while his back had an unusual float system and last but not least was a full helmet covering his whole head as nowadays it was a rarity for an IS to have one.

Both IS units took off into the air where they waited and tuned into IF-Sensei's lecture which was now happening behind some rather safe blast shields.

"Alright now that the both of you are ready on my mark let's do a mock battle simulation 1-2-3 go!"

Lancelot immediately made his way towards the ground where his float system folded down and he used the threads hidden in its feet to dodge Uni's shot.

"Blam." A shot narrowly missed Naruto as he swerved at the last moment enraging Uni even further.

"Argh hold still so that I can get a hit on you...you pervert!"

"OK look I know what happened and I'm sorry, it was all my fault so I'm sorry?" Uni floated in the air for a moment thinking about it but she apparently wanted his blood so she fired a rain of bullets at Lancelot.

Naruto drew Lancelot swords and as he powered them up there was a spark of energy that lasted for just a moment before it ultimately died down as multiple error messages popped up on Naruto's HUD indicating that there was an error with not just the MVS sword but it also extended to using the VARIS rifle, the slash harkens, the Blaze Luminous system and now even the Float system was rejecting its activation code.

The flurry of bullets hit the distracted Naruto who was desperately restarting all connections again as the dust faded the two slash harkens on the Lancelot's hips were fired at Uni who simply swerved to the side to dodge them.

From within the dust the Lancelot shot out and went straight at Uni with its fists.

[On the ground]

Nepgear saw what was going on with the Lancelot and thought. 'No could it be that the Lancelot is now rejecting its combat software? Please Lancelot please work...'

[Back to the fight]

The Lancelot had managed to push Uni back just a little thanks to some quick thinking from Naruto but the fight was still in favour of Uni as she had all of her weapons and the Lancelot only had its slash harkens working at the moment.

"Alright that's enough playing around its time to end this." Uni turned around and flew off into the air getting some distance between herself and the Lancelot.

"Black heart 2 all missiles go!" Uni summoned forth parts that fired off a large number of missiles at the Lancelot.

The Lancelot took off into the air as the missiles followed it, turning around the Lancelot saw a missile closing in on him and knocked it away with his fist sending it barreling towards another one and destroying the both of them in a large explosion.

However the other missiles slipped through the range of the explosions of the other missiles and impacted on the Lancelot whose only defense at that point was to try and block with his forearms.

On the ground all the girls could see the missiles impact onto the armor of the Lancelot in a flurry of explosions that completely engulfed it sending it up a bit further with each impact.

Uni floated down and smirked. "Humph that's what you get when fighting me pervert."

The smoke was still for a moment as debris fell to the ground suddenly from within the smoke there was movement as it was blown away by the Lancelot who performed a circular slash to reveal itself to Uni.

There it floated in all its full glory worthy of the name of the legendary knight bestowed upon it, gleaming white armor with golden linings around its helmet and certain parts of its body while a red gem on the center of its chest drew everyone's attention. In its hands were two swords with red blades that glowed with energy.

On Naruto's HUD the words "Format and optimization process of all equipment completed welcome pilot Namikaze 3D OS online. VARIS rifle online. MVS swords operational. Slash harkens operational. Blaze Luminous system online. Lancelot operational status 100%."

A small smile came across Naruto's face. "Alright then let's do this Lancelot!"

As if commanded by some outside force the Lancelot shot off towards Uni who drew out two pistols but before she could fire them e Lancelot slashed through them destroying them and delivering a kick to Uni's body that sent her spiralling downwards.

Before she hit the ground she corrected herself and took to the air where she drew out a huge gun that sparked with energy and aimed it at Naruto. "Die!"

She fired off one shot the recoil forcing her backwards. As for the shot it impacted against the Lancelot's forearms when the smoke from the impact faded they saw that the Lancelot had a green energy shield protecting it.

Uni was completely stunned as the Lancelot was able to shrug off a shot from her most powerful weapon however she did not notice that her weapon was sparking.

Uni prepared it for another shot when suddenly her weapon went off and completely engulfed Uni in an explosion that knocked her senses around a little and sent her spiraling downwards to the ground.

Naruto saw it and shot off after her and just before she hit the ground the Lancelot caught her digging its feet into the ground to slow itself down.

Turing his IS back into its standby state Naruto took off one layer of his IS suit and slid it under Uni's head for her to use as a pillow. "Don't worry Uni-san Compa-sensei will be here soon."

Before Uni fully blacked out she could see the concerned eyes of Naruto looking down upon her as Compa-sensei arrived on the scene with her medical pack.

[Hours later]

Uni slowly woke up to the evening sunlight that glared in her eyes, she rubbed them to get rid of the sleep that clouded them when she noticed Naruto seated in a chair asleep his head bobbing up and down.

By a table close to her was a tray of food.

"Ah Uni-chan you're awake now." Upon hearing Compa announce that Uni was awake Naruto slowly woke up.

"Uni-san are you alright?" He asked while Compa checked Uni over one more time to make sure that she was going to be alright.

"Ah yeah I do think I'm going to be fine now."

"That's good." Replied Naruto as a smile came across his face, he rolled the table about and passed Uni the meal that he got for her. "Here I didn't know what you liked so I just got you a little bit of everything."

Uni noticed that there was a cup of pudding on the tray. Finally Compa-sensei was done checking Uni over and declared her ready to leave so after she finished her meal she could leave the medical bay, once Compa-sensei left there was a silence between Naruto and Uni.

"So Uni-san about that incident it really was an accident so could you forgive me?" Uni thought about it for a moment.

"Well all things considered I guess I could put it behind me."

"Heh thanks Uni-san. Well I guess I just wait for you to get done then I'll escort you to your room." Uni gave Naruto the evil eye making him very quickly shake his hand.

"I-I don't mean anything like that it's just I want to make sure you get back to your room fine." Uni relaxed and agreed to let Naruto escort her back to her room but not before she took the layer of his IS suit that he used as a pillow for her.

Uni told him that she would clean it up for him since it was a little dirty from her using it.

Once he was done he went back to his room where he found Nepgear working on something so he just decided to plop down onto his bed. Once down he unzipped his uniform and took out the Lancelot in its standby mode.

'Lancelot...thanks for the performance today.'

[The next day]

Nepgear and Naruto were up and in the cafeteria grabbing breakfast and since Neptune wasn't up yet they were alone which wasn't the case as Uni came up to them tray in hand.

"Do you mind if I join you? I mean I don't want to but the rest of the cafeteria is kinda full now." Naruto and Nepgear raised an eyebrow since the cafeteria had plenty of space but it may just be nice to have the company so Uni took a seat by Naruto's left side while Nepgear took the right side and they dug into their breakfast.

Uni occasionally looking over and talking to both Naruto and Nepgear and as she did she found herself smiling more and more, all of it could be credited to both Naruto and Nepgears fun and outgoing personality. Eves though she would never admit outright she liked hanging out with them.

So there we have it the first chapter.

I'm trying something different by having Naruto be in a different class and having a different harem in case you don't know the characters Nepgear and such come from the game Hyperdimension Neptunia. The Lancelot comes from Code Geass and it will receive a rather unusual upgrade later on if you want to guess it then just put it in the review or PM me and I will tell you that you are right.

Also the whole childhood friend thing about them as babies was kinda cliché but it works more than it doesn't.

So leave a review with comments or queries I'll try to answer them without giving anything away and if you liked what you've read then remember to leave a favorite or follow.
