I do not own Naruto or Predator vs Alien or Predator in any format. This is a fan fiction

Kurenai and Void seem to get a long better and better as her pregnancy continued, which had a few hiccups along the way. First Death, went on more hunts as her pregnancy became well, not as easy to manage, her mood swing were something he never expected to be so fierce. In one particular nasty one she placed him in a genjutsu for an entire day. The genjutsu had been of his kids acting like an absolute gang of brats. Stressed of a pregnant mate, can be best avoided by doing what we do best, Wolf told him. So he went hunting.

By the end of her second trimester the hunter ninja of the village had to finally complain with the Hokage. It appears that in the previous three months, their had been a sizable reduction in rogue ninja, and the ones that would have betrayed the village did not out if sheer fear. In truth Death had to deal with four space stations being infested with xenomorphs, and for some strange reason Shadow knew exactly what space station he was going to because, when the airlock finally opened there he was waiting with a smile on his face and a few xenomorph corpses in a pile behind him.

"Shadow, would you tell me how exactly do you know I was going to be here?" Shadow told him that he always picked places that were relatively close to the ooman world. Death did not want to believe it, but he did think it. 'I guess I am becoming easy to read. I wonder if that was the real reason for the Elder to stop going out to hunt.' Somewhere out in space the very same elder wondered how was Death dealing with being a father. He hoped that he had better luck than he did, after all his son turned traitor after seeing all the recognition Death had obtained.

The two had a lovely time talking and killing Xenomorphs. They even made the xenoqueen angry by telling her to wait which surprsingly she did, they still had to decide who gets to kill the huge xenoqueen, so they decided with an ancient and well known method, paper, rock, scissors. That was the last straw, the xenomorph lost her entire nest and the killers where playing a game to decide who gets to kill her. She was raging mad, so mad that she did not see the traps that Shadow had placed in the around her. The one playing the game with Death was a shadow clone after all.

The launchers fired and cut the xenoqueen to pieces. Death congratulated Shadow on a very well planned strategy. Shadow just said that it was something he came up from the stories he was told by Wolf. The two began to take their picks of trophies and clean them, all the while Death felt like asking what was the real reason he should up. Shadow looked almost embarrassed to tell him, but in the end he said he wanted to spend some quality time with his dad, specially since his little brother was going to get most of his attention.

Death decided to ask his son how he came, he told him a fellow member of the clan gave him at lift. That was unheard of, no one in the clan would do that unless.. Death told Shadow to get behind him and he deployed 50 shadow clones to act like a shield. Sure enough 20 of them were destroyed by a plasma blast. "The one who gave you this lift did he have a mandible missing, and a cross shaped scar on his forehead?" Shadow was surprised to here his father give such an accurate description.

Death switched his visor to neural scan. The answer came to him just as he expected. "Is that any way to trick your own nephew, I would think you were above that, Slicer." Shadow could not believe it, the one that gave him the lift and tried to kill him was his uncle. "Night Claw would be very sad, to see her own brother try and killed her child." A big, muscular and heavily scarred predator turned off his cloak. "I don't want to hear about honor, from the bastard that impregnated my sister, and didn't have the honor to consider her his mate, or even show up for his son's birth. I will kill you, and make sure you never get the chance to harm my sister again."

Shadow was ready to jump in to help in the fight but Death told him to sit down and watch. It happened so fast that Shadow could not believe it. The armor around him seem to glow a dark red, there was a malice in the air, almost gave the air a bitter taste to it. Slicer was given that name since he was an expert in the use of a shard edge. He ran towards Death, clearly underestimating him. It was a mistake he would not live to regret, as he ran towards him he did as the costumes dictated. He was ready to kill the traitor.

Using his hands he made something appear right on the path of Slicer, it was a massive beam of fire and it was so wide that his enemy had no way to avoid it. He was heavily burned and fell on his back, the pain was so severe he could not stand up or keep his grip on his weapon. Shadow transmitted the video from his visor directly to the Elder. He was impressed that Death had not gone soft, living amongst the oomans. The Elder took a few seconds to decided and he called for Slicer's immediate execution.

"Slicer, I was unconscious when your sister had her way with me. I didn't even know Shadow was my son till a few months ago. But betraying a member of your own clan, you know how that would end. Wolf has made Night Claw a very happy mate. Take this knowledge with you to your grave and rest in peace." Death took his own disc launcher and cut his head clean off. Shadow walked over to Death and told him they would need to wait till the clan sent a ship to pick up Slicer's remains, and that when they did, they would also reprogram his ship's registration so that the ship would be his. Death told him that he should keep it himself.

The members of the clan appeared and did as Death requested. Slicer's ship was reprogrammed and registered as Shadow's. In part it also seemed that Slicer was going to inherit the ship to him upon his death. It was clear that he had planned to murder Death, then disapear leaving a video,of the two dying from injuries and himself using his self destruct to take care of the xenomorphs. A lie that was to be recorded by the ship. Instead Slicer died and now his nephew had his ship

For Death it was something that was simply avoidable if Slicer ever bothered to talk with him, he could have told him something, and this entire misunderstanding would not have caused his madness or his death. The Elder it seems also told him to return to the mothership. He only hoped that Night Claw was away on a hunt, it would not feel right to tell her how her brother had acted and how he had to kill him. She would understand but not without giving him a few dozen broken bones, and accusations that he was the bad blood and not her brother. He of course had a defense thanks to the video Shadow provided.

As soon as he walked into the mother ship, two things happened that he did not wish to happen. First Night Claw gave a bound crushing hug to Shadow, Death could only feel sympathy for the boy, that in reality was his son. The second he saw Night Claw crying, it seems Slicer sent a message to her telling her that he was helping her son and Death on a hunt, but it did not look like they were going to make it. Slicer may have sent the message as soon as he saw the two hunting xenomorphs, the message was sent from the infested station. Their was no mistaking the coordinates on the message.

"Death, come forward." Death did so and kneeled in front if the Elder as their customs dictated. "Stand Death, lem me have a look at you. I heard from young Shadow what happened in that place, but I still need to know from you what are your thoughts on this matter." Death stood straight and he removed his head gear. Many of the people were suprised that after all this time, he had no scars at all, and his hair was braided just like themselves. Death began telling what happened and Shadow was clearly embarrassed as Death told of his accomplishments during that particular hunt. As to Slicer he merely wished the situation could have been avoided.

Night Claw could not believe that he was so forgiving of her brother's betrayal. Death asked that he he buried with honors. The Elder told him that he had seen the betrayal and thus he must be buried according to the customs regarding the burial of a traitor to the clan. His body would set adrift near a sun, where the blaze of the sun will incinerate the remains, as they would erase any records of his existence. The only people that would remember hi. Were himself, the ones that collected the remains, Death, Shadow and his sister.

Night Claw asked Death how was his life with the ooman female, he told her that in a couple of months he would have a child with her. So his life was very good. He asked how did Shadow know where to find him, so many times. Night Claw laughed and told him he was too predictable, he always was easy to figure out where he would be. It was easy for her, why would it be any different for her child?

Shadow asked if he could hunt some more with Death. Night Claw had no reason to deny her son this request, and with the Elder's approval they left on Death's ship. Shadow could call for his anytime. The pair next went to see about a few ship upgrades. It seems that Slicer had not taught his nephew about proper ship maintenance. Death bought the upgrades, mainly a new scanner and navigational computer, he paid in pelts and a few body parts. The seller was more than happy to accept the payment..

As Death began to teach him on ship maintenance, he asked him why did he not ask the clan for the upgrades, Shadow found the entire situation strange. Death told him he was the Guardian of their clan's most prized hunting grounds, and more than likely he would have to defend it against other clans, that would try and poach on their hunting ground. He needed the upgrades so that he could have an early warning, if a ship had entered into orbit. This would give him the place where the poachers landed, and how many to expect.

Shadow watched as Death finished explaining everything, and as soon as they were done they recieved a message from Void, for Death to return quickly, his child was to be born earlier than they had expected, when he heard that he asked Shadow if he wanted to return to the mothership. Shadow told him he wanted to be their for the birth of his sibling. Death accepted that he be present. He sent course back to where his mate was and arrived as she was clearly giving birth, it seems the scan previously done on Kurenai proved incorrect. Kurenai gave birth to a healthy baby girl. She insisted that the child be named Kushina, for a long dead friend. Kurama was quite happy to hear that.
