Me: I'm a little shocked at the lack of Naruto/Mass Effect crossovers. The possibilities are endless! Especially with the three (shitty) 'open ended' endings we got, we can fill in the plot-holes with our own bullshit!
Sakura placed her palms over Naruto's head in a desperate effort to figure out what the Hell was wrong with him. As the green glow touched his skin, the blonde-haired shinobi twitched. His eyes were tightly shut as if he were in great pain, yet the medic-nin couldn't find anything wrong with him. Shaking, the pink-haired Kunoichi growled in frustration as her teammate didn't show any signs of waking up.
Damn this mission, She thought, looking back at the object of her problems.
It was a simple enough B-rank and honestly it was only labeled a B-rank because of how valuable the merchandise was. An ancient piece of technology had been found buried beneath a mine. It looked like a simple box but it glowed whenever touched. They had been sent to retrieve it and bring it back to Konoha for further analysis. However, as soon as Naruto touched the damn thing, there was a bright light. Sakura couldn't see anything but she could clearly hear the screams of sheer agony from her friend.
The Kunoichi looked back at the science team behind her. All of them were staring at Naruto and herself with shock evident on their faces. "Why didn't you tell me this would happen?" She screamed at them, pushing more chakra into her palms, careful not to hurt Naruto.
The leader of the team, a balding man with giant round glasses and a light stubble , stepped forward. "It . . .I . . .we didn't know. We all touched it at one point or another and it's never done that!"
She shook her hair, letting her pink hair move side to side in an angry manner. "We need to get him to Konoha now. He's not responding to my healing techniques." She gestured at Sai, who nodded and went over to the small box. Picking up a nearby cloth, he wrapped it around the object before picking it up. Yamato reached down and picked up Naruto, gingerly shifting him to a comfortable position on his back. After a nod to one another, the three shinobi disappeared from sight and started heading toward Konoha.
Tsunade looked down at the blonde-haired boy in the hospital bed. It was eerie to see him so quiet. Even when he was asleep, he was usually snoring or whispering some nonsense about ramen. Now he was dead silent. It was almost as if he were dead. The only reassurance she had that he wasn't was the beeping of machines next to her.
The Hokage rubbed her eyes before looking at the charts in front of her. There was nothing wrong with him, physically. However, the results of his brain waves indicated that he was dreaming. The obvious distress he was feeling indicated that they were nightmares, but this distress was only spontaneous. Other times he was in complete peace or high on adrenaline. Once or twice she caught him in full sexual arousal, something she was going to give the kid shit for when he woke up.
"Thresher Maw." Tsunade's head snapped at Naruto, who was still in his coma. That was definitely his voice. But what the hell was a Thresher Maw? She reached for a notepad and pen and wrote down what Naruto said. As he didn't say anymore, Tsunade frowned. This could be a clue as to how to wake him up or at least on his progress through the coma. The Hokage nodded before coming to a decision. She would have someone watch over him 24/7, writing down exactly what he said.
Kakashi looked down at his student, concerned at his quiet sleep. Sighing, the copy ninja grabbed a chair and started waiting. Apparently he hadn't said anything since the Hokage's visit, but Tsunade was still hopeful that he would say more. Boredom started seeping into Kakashi's mind as he reached for the orange book in his pouch.
"Why not? We've got oceans, beautiful women, this emotion called love. According to the old vids, we have everything they want."
It was soft and probably wouldn't have been caught had the room not been silent before. Kakashi wiped his head around to stare at Naruto through his one open eye. As quickly as he could he scribbled down Naruto's exact words, waiting for more. Inside his head, he was pondering over Naruto's strange statement. What were 'vids'? And who wanted everything they had? Leaning back in his chair and relaxing his muscles once more, the copy ninja sighed. This was going to be a long night.
So engrossed in his thoughts and worries over Naruto, he forgot about his book.
Me: The idea came to me while contemplating over Shepard's possible childhood. As an orphan on Earth, I rather saw her as ignored and in the background, if not looked down upon. Because of this, she would want to prove her worth, so she joined the Alliance. This then led to deeper thoughts of the irony of Shepard protecting Earth. If you have ever chosen the 'Earthly Orphan' background for Shepard, you would know that, according to Anderson, she had a rough childhood. The irony being that she is protecting a home that treated her badly in the past, much like Naruto. That is probably what made me write this in the first place. It was such a sudden idea that I had to get it onto paper . . .or computer whatever.
