Summary: Ninjas IN SPACE! Join Soragakure's pirate ship captain, Uzumaki Naruto and his crew of misfits on an epic adventure, spanning whole galaxies as they fight to gain control of a viciously dangerous viral mainframe, parts of which are contained in the partly-cyborg bodies of nine men and women all over the known universe. Enemies become friends and friends become something more in a frantic race to outrun the unscrupulous Akatsuki organisation and the corrupt Alliance of space cities and steal a weapon that may mean the end of creation as they know it.
Notes: This started out as a fun and silly 20K story, a word limit we were a little worried we might not make when we started off. And then we got to writing, and then it sort of ran away from us a lot. It's still a love story, though, and we had an almost obscene amount of fun writing it.
