Find a Loophole. Watch as Naruto, Hinata, Sakura, and eventually Sasuke learn just how to make it in a technologically advanced universe while trying to save their own world. 1. Chapter 1 I was Highly inspired by CmartinHFD and samuraipanda85's Naruto and Sakura's Five Year Mission. Base story idea to have two Konoha shinobi was theirs, and even the name of the planet. It is used with permission. :) Big differences with this however are that I will be keeping cannon couples as I love them. I don't think I will have it be far past Shippuden however. I didn't pay enough attention to Bolt, Himawari, and Sarada to feel as if I could do them justice. * * * >Now, I don't own the Naruto or Star Trek Franchise. I am just borrowing them for this fic. LoL. * * * >To Boldly Go: A NarutoStar Trek Epic** It's been two weeks since our journey began. Two weeks since I put off becoming hokage for another five years. All for the sake of extra-planetary peace accords which could potentially save my very world," Naruto pondered as he stared out of the view port of his and his wife's quarters aboard the Federation Flagship, the USS Enterprise. His wife placed her soft loving hands on his face and drew him in for a kiss. A kiss drawn from such a well of love that Naruto's attention could not be anywhere but with Hinata. As their lips finally parted, he realized that no matter how much he missed his friends back home, he'd made the right decision. The world had all but become one single government under the Ninja Alliance with leadership shifting every four years or so between the Kage. So Naruto knew very well how important it was for him to succeed in representing his planet well. If all went accordingly... They would be inducted into the United Federation of Planets, and granted full citizenship. With all of the former daimyo's dead, things just fell into place. No money changing hands. No back pocket peddling. Maybe the time for everlasting peace was truly at hand. * * * >Flashback, Two weeks prior, newly rebuilt office of the Rokudaime Hokage Hatake Kakashi. * * * >Uzumaki-Hinata, Uzumaki Naruto, and Uchiha-Sakura stood at attention before the hokage. He, the hokage placed his hands in a seal which activated silencing tags around the room. Before he began to speak, Naruto glanced around and placed his hand up to forgo any speech. He stomped his foot on the ground with a specific chakra pulse which revealed an invisible shinobi. Before said shinobi had time to react, Hinata was in front of him, and thrust her palm forward, but was stopped by a simple command from her hokage. "Hold. I forget just how good team Perseverance is sometimes. He is my personal guard and an old friend of our last incarnation of team seven before Sasuke's return." Much to the surprise of said Shinobi, Naruto pulled him down and into a hug. "Sai, you bastard. It's been too long!" Sakura stifled a small laugh, but gave the shinobi an equally fierce hug. "It's good to see you Sai. When did you get back? Where have you been?" Sai would have preferred to keep his identity a secret a while longer, but removed his Kakashi styled mask and his hood, revealing a Konoha Hitai-te, with a small arrowhead on the side. He looked to his Hokage who nodded. "This may be hard to understand, or believe, but I have been off world for the last five years. I have traveled to places that would make the wildest dreamers pale. I have seen stars born and seen a star implode." Hinata activated her byakugan to see if he was pulling their leg, but was dumbfounded to find no deception in any of his words. Naruto and Sakura turned to Hinata in anticipation of her verification check. She nodded somberly. Immediately they turned to Hokage Hatake. "Before you start firing off your questions, the reason you all have been pulled from the field is because I am removing you from ANBU for the time being. Not due to poor performance. You are my top ANBU team to be honest. It is to give you three an opportunity. The opportunity of a lifetime. One that would push your ascension to Hokage back five years or so Naruto. But this is for the betterment of the entire world. And before you say no Sakura," he paused knowingly, "Sasuke will be transported with you. These people might have the technology in conjunction with your own skills as one of our worlds best doctors to revive him. No one expected the after effects of destroying that meteor. Had Sasuke not intervened, and I was the one who tried to stop it... Let's just say the world owes him far more than his former exile could cover." Sakura's eyes narrowed as she finally found her voice. "What exactly is it you require of us Hokage-sama?" Kakashi sighed as he removed his hat and stated calmly, but authoritatively; "You three have been chosen as the third group to leave planet Element on a mission of grave importance. This is a double s-class secret and punishable by death should it be repeated." All three nodded without so much as a flinch, although Hinata's eyes nearly betrayed her shock at being included in such a discussion as she was only recently promoted to a senior member of the ANBU forces as an intelligence type rather than assassination. "Our world's dying. After the Fourth Shinobi world war, and the battle Toneri only a few years later has left our world in peril. Nearly sixty years ago, a space faring ship known as the Enterprise crashed a few kilometers south of here. It had a few survivors, but not many medics left. Tsunade's grandfather Hashirama, the Shodai Hokage ordered them healed, much to the chagrin of his council. We were granted a little in ways of technology. Radios which we managed to convert to use Chakra with and a few other items we improved upon. Two of their team. No that's not right. Crew members, yes, crew members spoke a strange dialect of our language. They called it Japanese. It was strange, but it was enough to break the ice. We managed to get a few settled in here until another ship came to find them. The Shodai and his council agreed not to speak of the space faring crew at her captain's request. Captain Rachel Garrett I believe her name was. This information was sealed away until Shikamaru's research and discovery division found our soil poisoned by the toxicity of Toneri's attacks." Hinata blanched slightly at her ancestor's doings. "We were lucky however. Shiho of the same division, against Shikamaru's orders started looking into solutions above the earths floor, and the oceans depth. Her tenacity paid off when she found a signal similar, but far more advanced to our own five years ago. Shortly after our last major battle. With the help of Kumogakure no Sato's advancing tech, we were able to pinpoint another starship by the name Enterprise. This one commanded by a Jean Luc Picard. Last time it was Tsunade-sama who sent Sai on his journey. Ino almost went, but she ended up having to take over T and I while Anko was on Maternity leave," He smiled behind his mask at the thought of his wife and little girl. "But the fact of the matter is that we contacted them, and told them to cut the BS. We've already been in contact with them before. We got past their Prime Directive issue after a quick chat with an admiral who seemed to take pity on us. An admiral Kathryn Janeway and an Admiral Paris. But that is not what you wanted to know... We have had the federation flagship once again looking over our planet's issues, along with a few other science vessels and have found a way to fix the problem, but certain laws prevent them from giving us the technology as it could be weaponized. Sai has been away from home for too long and we need some people with a bit more... diplomatic skills to be our emissaries for now which is why Hinata is going. Naruto, you are next in line for the 'throne,' so you need to do your magic too. You have a known gift for getting the impossible done. And you Sakura are one of our most brilliant medical minds and scientist. We have managed to set up a bit of an exchange program where you all will essentially join their military for five years, the same as Sai, but officially a part of a crew, and in plain sight instead of Sai who was essentially doing what he would have been doing here... just on a much larger scale. There are a few islands capable of still producing fresh food and water for years to come. Long enough for us to fix the issues on our own, however," he warned, "Other outside elements that find out about the problem and want to bring chaos to the world, or is crazy enough to want to end the world can destroy one of those islands, and we are essentially screwed. Only the Five Kage even know where the islands are except those sent to tend them. And even those are blindfolded and chakra sealed so they can't leave and cause trouble." Kakashi's words terrified the three friends, but did not dissuade them from focusing on their duties. Naruto looked to Hinata, his heart and his joy. He knew that gaining his dream paled if their world's very food and ability to feed themselves were destroyed forever. Hinata's gaze met his and she took in a deep sigh. No words needed be said. She would need to prepare her precious younger sister Hanabi to take over as clan head until she returned before she left. She looked at the Hokage and he immediately understood. "You may inform Hanabi, but only her. I'll expect the same level of secrecy." Hinata nodded. Naruto then spoke up, "How's the Teme fit into all of this? I don't like the idea of leaving him here, and getting Sakura to go without him... might happen with the stakes, but..." Kakashi shook his head, slightly annoyed at having to repeat himself. "Naruto, you are almost ready, but you need just a few more steps. Ugh. Sasuke is being transferred to their medical bay so that they may try some of their superior technology to help him." Sakura was about to interrupt, but Kakashi was prepared. "Tsunade-sama has worked with a few of their medical staff on a few projects and was impressed. Some of the civilian medics you've seen at the hospital using new machinery Sakura. Dr. Ogawa was one of them. She and her family have been stationed here for quite some time. Over a year. You've been assigned shifts to keep you from talking to her to often, as have everyone else except Shizune and Tsunade due to the...Unique situation we're in," That was all it took to silence the pink haired Anbu. Their mask sat at their waist, thus their personalities allowed to shine through. Kakashi stood from his chair and with eyes pointedly focused on them asked, "Will you accept this mission to better our relationship with this federation so that we may gain the status needed to receive the aid to save our world?" Sakura looked flustered, but stepped forward first with a tight smile as she answered, "With or without their offer to help Sasuke, would you have even needed to ask?" Kakashi took a moment and thought long and hard on his answer before his eyes crinkled into his signature eye smile and replied honestly, "Not a chance, which is why I am so proud of you all." Sakura, Naruto and Hinata stood a little straighter as Sakura nodded then asked, "How will we be deployed, and if so, can I ask that either Naruto or Hinata be placed in command during this mission until Sasuke returns to active duty," she spoke hopefully. "I don't want to be a liability due to any distractions. Naruto and Hinata will be able to keep me in line if I become emotionally compromised over my... love for my husband." "You will still work together sometime. Maybe as guards and medics to the Captain of the starship if I am understanding this exchange properly. You are authorized to train those YOU trust explicitly in the basics of chakra if you find species that can use it. Only apprentice further if you trust them with your lives, and those you believe will embody the very 'Will of Fire.' Just remember, you are part of this Starfleet immediately upon arrival upon the vessel. I have been given a list of rules and regulations. They are far, wide and extensive. As well as a basic understanding of their basic technological wonders. We would have liked to send you to their academy, but it is a four year long process, but our situation won't allow for you to use traditional means to enter starfleet. Prepare for a six month mission. You won't need all of those supplies, but you never know what might come up where you are stranded without the aid of your starship, or one of it's smaller auxiliary ships. Runnabouts. Also, be prepared for some to look down on you because you come from a technologically â€¦ reserved world. Heck, try to not show your amazement too much at the technological marvels. It might help you settle in better. My last order for you for the day is to have fun. You will have three days to prepare and say your goodbyes. While the mission itself is extremely classified, you can talk to those already in the know, and you can give hints as to your mission as long as it does not involve saving the world or leaving it." Kakashi said, giving the team leeway to give an excuse for a five year mission. * * * >Naruto, Hinata and Sakura left from Kakashi's office. Each already packed for a one year mission via sealing scrolls Naruto prepared for them. After Jiraiya's passing, Naruto began looking into training with fuinjutsu. Although Kakashi was only an intermediate user himself, Naruto took to it like a fish out of water. Almost as if the legend of the Uzumaki genes made it come together. Naruto took to a few of the non fiction study guides Jiraiya and his father co-wrote, and found himself enraptured in the pure beauty of the art. Like gardening, it was another of Naruto's hidden talents and passions to which only a few closest to him knew. After a few moments, the remaining two dropped off a large sum of money in the bank. Hinata could do nothing but grin at her husbands generosity and gripped his hand tightly for a moment before she shared a warm, yet quick kiss. Naruto separated from Hinata and walked for a few moments, stopping at his his childhood favorite home away from home; Ichiraku Ramen. Things had been rough for the owners since Naruto was always away from village on some secret mission or another. * * * >"Oi, old man Teuchi! Get me a Naruto Special with the works!" Naruto called to the air as no one was manning the front of house. That was odd, but Naruto waited as two people skyrocketed to the front of the bar. "Naruto! We're saved. We were on the verge of financial collapse. Only a few people still have the love and appreciation of our craft anymore," the old man joked lightly, but you could tell he was on hard times. His bar showed it. Without the village hero showing up and going in there sometimes, people just didn't bother. It was more support for Naruto than his favorite food bar. That touched Naruto, but hurt him a little to that two of the nicest people he'd ever known and who looked out for him since his childhood were not doing so well. He'd gotten word from Konohamaru, a kid brother figure to him who'd secretly been putting money toward their accounts with a small note from the 'Naruto Corps." Each time it made Teuchi tear up whenever he saw a bulk of money come in, but even that was not enough to keep the business from falling further into debt. Naruto got to a point in the documents before leaving the Hokage's office which stated living in a world without the need for money, and how no one lived in hunger without being forced to live in an illusion such as the Infinite Tsukuyomi which caused the fourth world war." 'No worries old man,' Naruto thought. 'I've got you covered. I remember my friends. And you were like a nice uncle, and your daughter Ayame's pregnancy with Iruka had to hurt. I don't go back on my word. My nindo. My very ninja way.' Naruto reminded himself with a smile. Naruto tossed Teuchi a set of keys and said, "I still owe you for over two thousand, eight hundred, thirty five bowls of ramen old man. Like I'm going to leave you without. Hn..." Naruto impersonated his best friend perfectly. Teuchi tried to object to whatever Naruto was about to do, but Naruto said, "I am leaving the leaf for five years. I am not leaving my family to do without when I have more gold than Kakashi sensei. End of the discussion old man. If you mess with me on this I will buy it out from your landlord and send you the lease. Try me." Naruto threatened seriously. What Teuchi didn't realize was that Naruto already did it, and all Teuchi had to do was to sign the papers. The taxes on the building were also paid for for the next five years. Naruto's personal food pantry were filled with specialized noodles from around the world along with cryogenically sealed steak, chicken and prime rib which will appear when the fridge of Ichiraku's is low on food. Naruto set this up months ago. He planned on doing this a while back, but he wanted to wait on Teuchi's birthday. A few months early won't hurt. Naruto also placed Two million ryo, A basic S-class mission pay in a special account for him, and 1 million in Iruku's so he wouldn't have to leave Ayame home alone during her pregnancy. After explaining himself a little, he got the biggest hug he ever thought possible from Teuchi, Ayame who was standing behind the door, staying back to respect the privacy of her father in what sounded like an important talk, but paid more attention when she heard Naruto's now light baritone voice. She gripped Iruka's wrist lightly and smiled with tears as he walked in behind Naruto and pulled him into the hug. "I love and missed Naruto too. It's been a while, but isn't this a bit much?" Iruka joked. Everyone laughed a little until Naruto explained everything again in a condensed form. He then explained that he was going away on a five year diplomatic mission with his ANBU team which these four were read in on with Executive Privilege via Naruto's position as Hokage in Training. After another hour at Ichiraku's, Naruto also revealed that the Uzumaki compound was going to need to be kept up, and requested they stay in the houses on the property as his gifts to them as a thank you. After leaving, Naruto stopped at the local children's shelter and took in the hero worship for a few minutes before surprising everyone with a work order to the hokage to repair and expand the house, paid for via the Uzumaki estate. All of the generosity Naruto had given out hadn't even put a major dent in his family's fortune. Barely ten percent. * * * >Hinata was the Head of the Hyuuga clan, which allowed her to run her estate from the Uzumaki estate. Any children they had would be Both Uzumaki and Hyuuga to eventually create one massively powerful clan. It took a lot of work, but Hinata was found to be a fierce leader. So fierce in fact that she remained an active shinobi. It was a promise she made to herself and to her deceased cousin Neji. Naruto could do nothing but stand by her side. Her conviction made his own nindo twice as firm and he could do nothing but help implement some of the changes Hinata wanted to see for her clan. If it was three years prior, Hinata would have still been the fierce woman he'd grown to love, but she'd never have left for five years. Naruto grinned as he walked to the hospital to meet up with Sakura at the hospital where she was likely preparing Sasuke for transport. Above the very clouds, a runabout kept a vigilant watch over the rather large city of Konoha. A golden skinned man nodded approval to his copilot. "This Uzumaki Naruto is generous and kind. He has a natural charisma about him. Hey, Did he just look in our direction?" Commander Geordi LaForge asked his friend. "I do not see how. We have the runabout on silent mode. And even so, he does not have any equipment to see us. Though I do question the choice of the captain. This Naruto seems to carefree and happy to be in any sort of military organization," Data speculated. How wrong he was. Naruto turned into the side of the building beside the hospital and walked to a pole which was nearly double the height of the hospital. Naruto's skin began glowing gold, his Ninja gear vanished as a golden overcoat with black markings appeared. Naruto leaped into the air and glided through the air at impressive speeds. So impressive that the computer didn't activate a proximity alert until Naruto was in front of the shuttle. He appeared to be levitating. Even with the most advanced shinobi, it's rare to find one that can levitate, much less fly. Naruto's countenance cold and distant as he stated. "You have entered an air space over Konohagakure no Sato. You will identify yourself. Failure to do so will mean instant termination." Geordi nearly wet his pants. Even with basic shields up, he could feel the energy and see the energy radiating off of him with his cybernetic eyes. Data however did not have his emotion chip activated. He turned on the intercom and stated, "We are here on a peaceful mission. We have permission to be here by Hatake Kakashi. Leader of this village." Naruto, not being foolish demanded, "I'll need a little more to go on than that." Geordi sighed and pressed another button and stated, "Runabout Jigsaw to Dr. Senju. Come in please?" 'Senju,' Naruto caught immediately. And was surprised to hear his godmother's voice. "Tsunade here. Go ahead Geordi." "Um... we have a ninja glowing gold in front of our runabout." From down below Naruto heard, "NARUTO!" Naruto's back went erect in terror, and respect. He turned back toward the little ship and stated as he looked into the view-port, "Maybe we'll have a big laugh over this one day." Then disappeared in a flash of golden light. Geordi looked to Data and stated, "My original concern is withdrawn. That young man seems to be a bit of a bad ass." Data cocked his head to the side and stated, "A bad ass indeed." In the hospital, Tsunade's office, Naruto walked slowly up to his godmother and smiled. She bopped him atop the head then hugged him. "You would be the one to find them wouldn't you?" "Seeing as they are flying around in a hunk of metal, I take it that's it?" "It?" she inquired. "It?" whispered conspiratorially. "The Starship." Tsunade laughed. She laughed softly at first, then harder, and harder until she nearly fell to her knees behind her desk. She stopped and activated extra security seals just in case. "So you have been told of your mission, and will take it because that is what any son of mine would do right?" Being called her son brought an unintentionally happy tear to his eyes. "You bet baa, I mean kaa-chan." Tsunade hugged him again and kissed the six foot tall man's forehead as she said, "I will actually see you a few times while you are away. So you won't be completely cut off from home. Like you, I can't really say more right now, but know I love you, and Shizune will not be back in time to see you off, but she will see you sooner rather than later." Tsunade hinted. "But as far as that little 'puddle jumper,' she giggled, "That's your transportation to your service point. Good luck love. I know you can do it!" * * * >At the Hyuuga mansion, things went much smoother than Hinata, or Hanabi thought possible. A call arrived before Hinata did. The hokage stated that no major clan changes could go into effect for the next five and a half years with support of all clans sans the Hyuuga. It would have been an insult if Hinata hadn't secretly put this in place with the Hokage years prior should it ever be needed and it would not majorly negatively effect other clans. The timing could not be more perfect. Plus Hiashi would stand behind Hanabi without question should the other elders of the Hyuuga try anything. Plus Ko has become quite the in house detective which is why Hinata had promoted him to Main house. She could not get rid of the branch house, but she could make things a lot more equal. And keep to that promise she did. * * * >Two days later, Hokage office. * * * >"...and remember sensei, I don't care if I am on the other side of the UNIVERSE. If Konoha needs me, use one of my father's kunai. I have spent years filling these seals with chakra. I can travel the world ten times over with the amount of chakra I've put in if not more. I also have ten specialized seals I have put double in. If we are needed, we will find a way home. If I find out you were to lazy to call for help... I will take that hat early," Naruto said jokingly, but knew the entire village would support Naruto's claim. That thought sent a chill up his spine. He knew Naruto would outlaw his precious Icha Icha books if that happened. "Calm down Jonin Naruto. You may be the hero of the world two times over, but I am still your hokage, do I make myself clear?" Kakashi asked seriously, as it would not do well for the bald man sitting quietly to the side to see Naruto running the show. Naruto caught on quickly. Naruto sighed. "Aye sir. My apologies Hokage-sama. You know how fierce I can get when it comes to protecting my village." "Well, for the next five years, the Enterprise will be your Konoha. Put that same love and dedication into protecting her and her captain, and you will do Konoha proud." Naruto, Hinata, and Sakura stood at attention at that. The bald man stood and stepped forward. "I am captain Jean Luc Picard of the United Federation of Planets. You have already been appraised of the situation, and I admit I was surprised at how forceful admiral Janeway was at placing you aboard the Enterprise. I will expect you to follow my orders without question within regulations. You will see things which might even seem like magic despite all of the amazing abilities you all have. I ask that you do not act as surprised as you might be. I have only told my senior staff of your level of technology. Most of my crew doesn't even realize we have people coming from your planet. For now your planet of origin is classified until further notice. Otherwise I look forward to working with you all. Any questions?" "Ie Taicho!" They replied in unison. His universal translator usually didn't take that long to reply, but he was pleasantly surprised at the reply of essentially, 'No Sir captain!' Maybe there was hope for these young people in starfleet after all. Naruto stepped forward and placed his hand out, "Uzumaki Naruto sir." Picard accepted Naruto's hand, and followed suit with Sakura and Hinata. He then turned back to Sakura and stated, "Mrs. Uchiha, or would you prefer Haruno?" After a few seconds of deliberation, she decided, "Haruno please. I don't want to draw anymore attention to my husband than necessary." "I understand that you want to work on his recovery, but you must also remember your purpose of coming aboard the Enterprise. I have the best doctor in starfleet. I know she's the best, because she's also my wife. Doctor Beverly Crusher-Picard. She is about as respected on multiple worlds as your Tsunade is here." Sakura was stunned, but nodded and mumbled a 'Yes sir.' Then stated, "I studied directly under Tsunade for many years and am nearly her equal, so I would like to use my knowledge as a doctor to help on the Enterprise as well if possible." Picard was not aware he was getting such a prestigious addition and looked to Kakashi who simply nodded confirmation. He wondered what other surprises he was in store for. He didn't like surprises, but didn't want to insult the Leaf leadership either. A few more last minute details hammered out and then it was time. Shikamaru showed up at the take off point along with his wife Temari. She and Shikamaru put up a 'Shh' due to Temari not having 'quite' a high enough clearance. Luckily the if the captain noticed, which he did, he chose to pretend he didn't. Konohamaru, and even Ino managed to find her way there. Choji was off on a mission, but he did manage to send a goodbye package full of Akamichi food seals. Hanabi was there along with Ko. After the goodbyes it was time. They all stepped aboard the runabout and strapped in as instructed. As the little ship began it's ascent, it was the beginning. The beginning of a journey into a new adventure. * * * >Present. * * * >Naruto wrote in a journal Hinata gave him in addition to the mandatory electronic one given to all Starfleet officers. Naruto finally decided it was time. He looked deep in though, so Hinata didn't disturb him. He started writing. "It's been two weeks since this journey began. We have seen things once thought impossible. We are traveling amongst the stars as if traveling by tree branch. This is the beginning of an inner battle. We miss our friends and family. Normally we can be gone for months at a time, but if needed we could always get a message and race back home, but now that might not be the same. My long time friend Kurama has been keeping me sane alongside my world Hinata, but I can't lose it. My best friends need me too. Sasuke and Sakura. So I take a deep breath, and smile a genuine smile. Why? Because these are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Not sea voyager Enterprise, but Starship
