In the middle of the ocean,was a beautiful island with many smaller islands,surrounding it,the island had a massive Sakura tree on the top of a large mountain with many houses and shops across the entire island,this was the naval base of the Sakura Empire
They were a previous major faction of Azur lane,before the entire organization was spilt into 2 side,The Sakura Empire was known for their vast tactics and strategies,which gave them the upper hand in combat,their numerous types of ships meant that they were not be taken lightly,their shipgirls were also known to have animal appendages,such as ears and tails
It was currently morning in the Sakura Empire and the sun was rising over the beautiful base,the shipgirls of the base were getting up or have gotten up to prepare for their day and duties,at the top of the base,was a shrine temple,this was the Sakura Empire's command area,where the officers of the Sakura Empire,plan and stay,it was a nice and peaceful area as it was surrounded by nature itself,there were numerous Sakura trees in the area,with bridges over water that connect the entire complex together,in the center area,that was in front of the massive Sakura Tree,high ranking officers of the Sakura Empire were gathered for a meeting,this inlcluded,Nagato,Mutsu,Mikasa,Yamato,Mushashi,Shinano,Akagi,Kaga and Amagi
They were discussing the events that had occurred recently and about the new found power Akagi had gotten
Nagato:Akagi,are you sure this is safe to use
Akagi:yes,lady Nagato,I have seen what it can do
Yamato:I do not trust the sirens but,to be able to control their production models would benefit us greatly
Mikasa:still,where did you find this power
Akagi:I had found it under the Sakura Empire,in a cave to the side of the base,it was in the form of A wisdom cube but it was black,I had assumed it was left behind by the sirens
Mutsu:that is a bit concerning if you think about it,finding siren tech in our own base means sirens have been here before
Kaga:very true,I believe we should increase the security of the base from today
Shinano:that would be beneficial as that would also prevent attacks from the inside,if sirens are still here
Nagato:tho,this would cause a lot more stress for our girls and we are currently at war with Azur Lane,so adding more stress to them would only hinder their ability to fight
Amagi:I believe the best course of actions is to have thing remain as they are now,we should prepare for the sirens but we should not hinder our own capabilities from fighting as well,such things could be our downfall
Nagato:I agree with Amagi
Yamato:I do too
Nagato:then things shall remain as they are,Akagi,continue to learn about this black wisdom cube,it could be used as a turning point for this war
Akagi:very well Lady Nagato
Mikasa:also take extreme caution when doing so,there is little known about the sirens power so be extremely careful when approaching your task
Akagi:understood,we will see it done
Nagato:good,now where is Kawakaze
Then a girl with white hair and blue eyes with fox ears,wearing a white and black kimono,came from a bridge to the left
Kawakaze:I am here Lady Nagato,
Nagato:Kawakaze,has there been any messages from the mainland
Kawakaze:yes lady Nagato,there has been,a message was sent from the mainland
Mutsu:what did it say
Kawakaze:mainland has constructed a new ship and is sending it here to assist us in the war
Yamato:any specifications about this ship
Kawakaze:unfortunately not,all they said was,whoever this ship had the highest probability of beating Lady Nagato
Everyone gasped at the remark as Mushashi spoke up
Musashi:that's absurd
Amagi:yes,Lady Nagato is our flagship and the strongest ship,the Sakura Empire has
Kaga:did mainland really make such a ship
Kawakaze:it cannot be said for certain,they say the ships power has not been completely tested,they have only given the ship,basic knowledge on the world and how to fight as there are complications to teaching the new ship
Nagato:I see,do they have any instructions regarding the new ship
Kawakaze:they wish us to train her
Mikasa:strange,why give out a specific order like that,it is protocol for us to train any new ship that arrives,so why give out a special order for this one
Yamato:is there any data on the ship
Kawakaze:no ma'am,they did not mention the name or class of this ship,just the ships stats
Nagato:I will look at the stats later,when are we expecting this ship to arrive
Kawakaze:later this noon or afternoon ma'am
Mikasa:today?,when did this ship leave mainland
Kawakaze:I belive the message said that she was on the way,so I belive she only left today as well
Kaga:reaching from mainland to base,nomally takes any of us at least 2 days,if he left only today and is also arriving today,means that whoever this is,is incredibly fast
Mikasa:then the new ship must be a destroyer
Nagato:possibly but we cannot be certain until they arrive,for now the meeting ends here,return to your work and tasks for the day
All:yes Lady Nagato
Everyone left as Nagato and Mutsu left as well
Nagato(mind):who could this new ship be
Timeskip brought to you by Mushashi and Shoukaku,"punishing" Y/N (from the story "Legends from another world")

Nagato's POV
_________________
I was in my office with my sister Mutsu as we were finishing up the last of todays paperwork,after we were done,the both of us decided to relax as we went to the garden,it was a nice and quite area,with lush greenery,there we saw Fluffy the Great with 3 other little foxes,Fluffy was a massive male fox,who was sitting next to a pond,the little foxes ran up to us as I pick one up and pat it's head,my sister decided to run at Fluffy and jump into him as she lands on Fluffy and snuggles up to him
Mutsi:so Fluffy
I chuckle a bit at the sight as I sit down next to her as I lay my head back on Fluffy,we spent a good amount of time there as the little foxes play,my sister decided that she would practice with her katana a little bit as she went inside to grab,I satyed behind and pat Fluffy's head as he seemed to enjoy it,then my sister returned with her katana as she took a stance,she started slicing and slashing at air as her attacks struck with great force,making small gusts of wind,we enjoyed our time in the garden as the sun was high in the sky,meaning the coming of noon,me and my sister went back inside to get some lunch,so we went to the Kitchen,it was a pretty large room with a standard table with nicely carved wooden chairs,we had 2 large fridges to keep the food in,multiple cup boards and drawers for storage and a gas stove,we had an oven,blenders,mixers,a toaster and a microwave but these were mostly used by Ms.Amagi as she was the only one who knew how to cook with the appliances,Me and Mutsu do not cook a lot and lady Mikasa does not know how to use the appliances,we see Lady Mikasa cooking as she was preparing some sushi and some rice as we enter the room,she noticed us come in as she greeted us
Mikasa:hello Lady Nagato,Lady Mutsu,would you like to join me for lunch
Nagato:we would be glad to
Mutsu:yay,Lady Mikasa is cooking
We sat down at the table as Lady Mikasa brought the freshly cooked sushi and rice,she sat down with us as we all grabbed a bowl and chopsticks,we grabbed some rice and some sushi and started eating,while doing so,we talked about the new ship
Nagato:has there been any new about the new ship
Mikasa:yes,his arrival has been confirmed to be this noon as scout planes that survay the surrounding islands saw an approaching ship,going at cruising speed
Mutsu:did the planes see who was on it
Mikasa:unfortunately not
Nagato:so what ship is it
Mikasa:the carriers couldn't tell,the ship was moving to fast
Mutsu:but you said it was going at cruising speed
Mikasa:that is what the carriers said,they told me,they heard the sounds of the engine at a medium volume,which means the ship was going at cruising speed
Nagato:the sounds of the engines used by the Sakura Empire ships get louder the more we increase our speed,that is why we normally go at cruising speed,so we can avoid detection but if this ship was moving fast enough,that our carriers couldn't see it clearly,then who knows how fast this ship really is
Mutsu:tho,it does make sense for it to be moving fast,it left mainland today and arriving at base today,such speed is incredibly hard to achieve
Nagato:what kind of ship has mainland made
Mikasa:she must be very powerful then,I am glad they are on our side
Nagato:yes,this could be a turning point as well
Mutsu:sister,isn't the declaration of war coming soon
Nagato:yes,we are only waiting for Akagi to figure out how to control the siren production models
Mikasa:I still do not trust such a power,there is to little know about it
Nagato:true but there are times where risks must be taken
Mikasa:but I do not believe this is one of them
Nagato:if the power Akagi has told us about,proves to be to dangerous then the entire project about shall be canceled
Mikasa:very well Lady Nagato
Suddenly the doors to the kitchen flew open startling Me and my sister a bit,we all turned to the person who opened the door to see Kawakaze with a exhausted expression as if she ran a mile
Nagato:Kawakaze,you look exhausted,did something happen
Kawakaze:*pant*Lady Nagato*pant*the new ship*pant* is here
Mikasa:already,the distance should have at least taken her a little while longer
Kawakaze:the carriers kept track of her movement and she areived earlier than expected,she slowed down when she came to a distance of the base,she is approaching as we speak
Nahati:then let us greet her we all left the kitchen and rushed out of the temple,we ran to the docks to meet the new ship as we saw a lot of girls at the docks,some were looking at the oceana and some were gossiping,when they saw me arrive,the cleared the way to reveal the other officers staring at the ocean
Nagato:Yamato,where is the new ship
She pointed out to the ocean as I look to where she was pointing at,then my eyes widen at the sight as my sister and Mikasa have the same expression,in front of us was a gigantic Battleship,that could rival the size of Yamato,her cannons seemed bigger than Mine and Yamato's combined,it sailed towards the docks at a moderate speed,it had 6 cannons,all triple barreled with unknown caliber but whatever it was,it was huge,the gigantic ship,stopped at a distance as we all gawk over the sheer size of the ship,suddenly it disappeared as we saw someone fall to the ocean,whoever it was,was able to walk on water like us as they stand there,we couldn't,clearly see,who it was,so I signal Yamato and Mutsu to follow me as we jump down to the water,we walked towards the person as they did the same,we then saw them clearly as it turns out to be a male that was roughly the same height as me,he had black hair with fox ears and had 9 fox tails and was wearing a white and black kimono with purple silk tied across his waist
AN:again,hair,fox ears and tails are black and his eyes are both gold
We were shocked to see a male stand before us,he had a similar appearance to me but he had different clothes and fox tails,he looked at us with a blank expression which reminded me of Me back then,then I spoke
Nagato:hello,I am Nagato,Flagship of the Sakura Empire,are you the new ship sent to help us
He didn't answer but he nodded at me
Nagato:what is your name
He didn't answer again but he put his hand into his kimonos sleeve and took out a large card with writing it and held it out in front of us,it said 'I am Nagaro of the Sakura Empire"
Nagato:so your name is Nagaro,why do you not talk
He didn't respond and just stood there
Mutsu:can you speak
He looked down and shook his head as I felt bad for him
Yamato:that is sad,not being able to communicate with anyone is hard
He looked back to us as he took another card from behind the first one,it read,"where is the girl named Kawakaze"
The 3 of us looked at each other as my sister called Kawakaze,she came over to us and stopped right next to me
Kawakaze:you needed me Lady Nagato
Nagato:yes,he us looking for you
Kawakaze's eyes shot open at the sight before her as Nagaro put his hand into his Kinonos sleeve again,he took out a tablet as he held it out Kawakaze,she reluctantly took it and examined it first before turning it on,when she did,it showed the symbol of the Sakura Empire then showed multiple collections of data,Kawakaze looked at the information,then spoke up
Kawakaze:Lady Nagato,I believe this is information,best discussed with all the officers of the Sakura Empire,there are orders and messages regarding him before letting him meet the whole of the Sakura Empire
Nagato:I see,then let us return to the shrine,Nagaro,please follow us
He nodded at us as we surf back to land,I couldn't shake off the feeling that he resembled me,I look back to him and see his blank expression as we sail back to land,when we got back,we blocked the view of the others,so that they wouldn't see,who the new ship is,I signal the other officers to meet me in the meeting area,we all then rush back to the shrine,covering the view of Nagaro as we still have not yet known,why mainland is keeping him a secret
When we got back to the shrine,the others were already there and waiting
Mushashi:Lady Nagato,why did you call for all of us here
Nagato:it is so you can all meet him
All:him?
Mutsu and Yamato,move out of the way,to fully reveal,Nagaro behind them,he still had his blank expression as he stood there
Mushashi:aww,he's so cute
Mushashi tried to approach him but he nervously backed away,Mushashi immediately noticed as she stopped her approach
Nagato(mind):he's shy?
Mikasa:a male,Lady Nagato,is this the new ship
Nagato:yes,he is the new ship,sent by mainland
Akagi:there has been no records of any male ships,he might be the first
Kawakaze:that is not all that's going to be surprising,Lady Akagi
Mikasa:what are you holding Kawakaze,what is that device
Mushashi:it's called a tablet Mikasa-san,it's new technology
Mikasa:I see
Mutsu:so what is on that tablet Kawakaze
Kawakaze:everything we want to know about Nagaro
Kaga:so his name is Nagaro
Shinanno:lets start with basics,Class
Kawakaze:w-w-well about that
Nagato:is there something wrong Kawakaze,your hesitant
Kawakaze:w-well,Lady Nagato,uhm,Nagaro's Class i-is-
Mutsu:what,what is it
Kawakaze:Nagato Class
We were dumbfounded at what she said as we all turn to Nagaro,he was still standing there with his blank expression as he turned to us,he said nothing and did nothing as we just stare at each other
Nagato:y-your not s-serious,right Kawakaze
Kawakaze:I'm afraid not Lady Nagato,his Class is the Nagato Class,he is IJN Nagaro,3rd ship of the Nagato Class Battleship
Mutsu:w-we,WE HAVE A BROTHER,THAT IS AMAZING
Mutsu shouted with joy as she has stars in her eyes
Nagato:what are his stats
Kawakaze:well his Firepower is S+++,Armor is S+++,AA is S,Torpedo is A,Aviation is E and his top speed is 60knots
Yamato:such power,he could punch a hole,straight through Bismarck with 1 shot
Mikasa:yes and he has torpedoes,so getting close to him is not going to be easy
Akagi:is there more specifications on his armaments
Kawakaze:his main cannons are 50 inch,he has 410mm auxiliary,all with high speed firing rate and his torpedoes are 633mm,all magnetic
Amagi:that is incredible
Shinanno:such power in one ship
Mutsu:still the message says,he is inexperienced,he will still need training
Nagato:yes,Kawakaze,what else is said on the tablet
Kawakaze:there are 2 notes,the first one is about his voice
Mushashi:what's the problem with his voice
Kawakaze:he is a mute,he is unable to speak
Amagi:I-,that's terrible
Akagi:it must be rough
We all just look at him as we saw him sitting down and looking at the great Sakura Tree
Nagato(mind):he is my brother but he cannot speak,I truly pity him
Mutsu(mind):everyone should be able to speak to the ones they want to,so why does my own brother have to suffer such a thing
Yamato:Kawakaze,what does the note say about his voice
Kawakaze:mainland is working on making a voice for him as we speak,the whole reason on why he doesn't have one is because their was a problem when constructing him,so he doesn't have a voice
Mutsu:so what does the second one say
Kawakaze:it's about his training,it says here that he the ability to mimic fighting styles when making physical contact with someone,tho,the drawback is that the mimicking is not perfect,he will sometime be able to mimic the style perfectly and sometimes he will only be able to mimic a portion of it,so mainland still suggests for him to be properly trained
Nagato:does he know how to fight
Kawakaze:yes,they have given him basic and a portion of advance combat lessons,so he knows how to fight
Nagato:well,that is good to hear,a person with such power should be able to use it well
We all nodded in agreement as Nagaro was still dosing off
Nagato:is there any more remarks
Kawakaze:no Lady Nagato,that is the end of the information,it did say that mainland would keep in touch by sending messages to this tablet so they have ordered that I will keep it
Nagato:very well,this shall end this meeting,please return to your previous tasks
All:of course
Nagato:Nagaro,please follow me and Mutsu
He nodded at me as we all stand up and leave the meeting area,we walked into the complex and went to the personal quarters area with Nagaro,behind us,I turn my head slightly,to see him observing his surroundings,he seemed curious as to where we were taking him,I opened the door and motion him to enter,after he went in,Me and Mutsu entered,this was Me and Mutsu's shared room in the complex,Nagaro seemed to be examining the room but I notice him go tense as I saw him with his guard up,I look at my sister who noticed the same thing,then turned back to him,he did not trust us fully yet despite knowing we are his sisters but mainland probably told him little about us and he had little info about any of us to fully trust us,then I spoke up
Nagato:Nagaro
He turned around as his blank expression was still plastered on his face
Nagato:I want to know this from you,.. Are you truly a Nagato Class,are you really our brother
He faced us fully as our eyes locks,he didn't do anything for a few seconds,then he nodded his head,affirming my question,instinctively,I hug him tightly as I felt him be shock from actions,sister then joined the hug as we both hug him tightly,I felt him be a little surprised by it as he eases up,then I spoke up
Nagato:then welcome to the family,.... Brother
He then hugged back as I felt my clothes get wet,I take a glance at him to see him with tears,running down his eyes,he was probably expecting a different outcome to this,which was why he put his guard up,he wiped his tears as we broke from the hug,his expression was no longer blank as it was filled joy,we decided to sit down at the low table that was in the middle of the room,we sat down and started asking him questions,about him as it soon ended up with me asking a different kind of question
Nagato:uhm,Nagaro,can I touch your tails
Mutsu:ohhh,I want to touch your tails too
He looked at his tails as they were swaying from left to right,he then turned back to us and nodded,so we quickly stood up and went up to him as we started to touch his tail,it was incredibly fluffy,fluffier than Kaga's,it was as Fluffy the great's fur,it was relaxing,as if you were touching a cloud,he seemed to be enjoying it as I lightly heard him yip,it was practically inaudible as it was so low but I heard through it,Mutsu was thoroughly enjoying the fluffiness of brothers tails as we ended up,practically lying down on them,if the children of the Sakura Empire would get a hold of these,they would end up asleep from the fluffiness,this lasted quite a while as brother seemed to enjoy,just spending time with us,I soon realize that it was already 3 in the afternoon as our playtime with brother was cut short,by the sound of the bases sirens,going off,Me,Mutsu and Brother stood up as Lady Mikasa busted into our room
Mikasa:Lady Nagato,Lady Mutsu,the sirens,were under attack
We all gasp from what she said as we rush out of the room,we all exit the shrine and head to the docks to see the entire Sakura Empire,defending the docks from a large scale attack,there were incredible amounts of siren production models,maybe numbering over the 700 or 800 mark,the other officers were already out at sea,attacking the sirens,then we saw portal appear as more production models arrive,most of the girls head back to land as they were too damaged to fight while others held the sirens back,soon everyone was off the water as the sirens made a blockade,making sure none of us could escape
Nagato:to everyone who can still fight,prepare yourself,to those are to injured,go to Akashi for emergency repairs,we must protect the base
Everyone:UNTIL THE END
Then all the sirens aimed towards us and fired in unison,lasers sped towards as Yamato yelled out
Yamato:BRACE!!!!
We all got ready for the attack to hit,but it never came,we all look to see the laser being stopped by and energy shield,that covered the entire docks,stopping any attacks from hitting,I look to see Brother with his arm up,facing the sirens,his eyes were glowing and he had a look of anger and determination as his attention was completely on the sirens,when the production models stopped firing,the shield vanished as brother materialized his ship and fired a full brodside of AP shell at the sirens,the shells tore through the production models,making a clear line through the blockade,we were all stunned from the sheer power,brother was displaying,his shots tore through most of the production models but more portals appeared as more production models came out,brother stopped firing as the production models models moved forward,remaking the blockade,I grit my teeth as all the damage done was just replaced but then,brother ship started glowing as it broke into numerous wisdom cubes
The cubes formed around brother as it transformed into massive rigging,there were 3 cannon platforms on each of his side that held his 6 main guns as it was stacked like staircases,he had 3 auxilary guns on each platform with his AA guns in between the gaps of the Auxilary guns and he had torpedo launchers on the lowest part of cannon platforms,he was also holding a large katana,similar to that of sisters,he then vanishes from where he stood as we all look around for him,I then saw him falling from the sky as he struck a production model with great force,slicing it in half and breaking other nearby production models,it was awestrucking to see someone move so fast and hit with such power,he started clearing out all the production models,leaving nothing alive
Nagato:Kawakaze
Kawakaze:y-yes Lady Nagato
Nagato:does the tablet have any info if Nagaro has any abilities
Kawakaze:it does,he has 2 abilities,the 1st is called Sakuran Will,the more Sakura Empire ships he fights with,the stronger he will get,there is no limit to how much he can power up,the only limit os the number of ships,1 ship is 2% added to his total stats
Mutsu:so brother can grow up to 234% more powerful if he fight with the entire Sakura Empire,JUST LIKE RIGHT NOW
AN:I did the math for this,there are currently 107 IJN ships so Nagaro can grow up to 234% more powerful
Nagato:such power,what is his second ability
Kawakaze:it is called,Godly Devotion,in dire situations,his stats all jump into EX+++ for a limited time and if the situation is incredibly dire,something else will happen but even mainland doesn't know what happens
Nagato:interesting
I look back to brother,to see that he had already cleared out half of the blockade,he was slicing ships in half,decimating others with his main guns,shredding the production models with his auxiliary gun and sinking the rest with his torpedoes,soon all the sirens were sunk and in such little time,the brother appeared back on the docks,without a scratch,he materialized his ships onto the water as he walked over to us
Nagato:you just took out an entire fleet of that size on your own and finished in such little time
Mutsu:that was amazing
He nodded at us as the entire Sakura Empire saw who he really was,they all gain shocked faces as I saw his ears go down and his tails stop swaying,I sensed that he was uneasy as I look to the other officer to see that they noticed as well,the girls approach him as he was backing away
Nagato:girls please do take it easy,he is shy and your making him uncomfortable
Girl1:Lady Nagato,is he the new ship we heard about
Girl2:what is his class
Girl3:he was sooo cool back there
Girl:he just saved the entire Sakura Empire
Girl4:he holds a lot of power
Girl5:he's so cute
Girl6:I want him for myself
The girls start gossiping as Me and Mutsu approach brother to see if he was ok
Nagato:are you ok brother
Mutsu:yes,are you ok,are you hurt
He shook his head,thankfully,we turn back to crowd as I spoke
Nagato:ok everyone,I know some of you don't know,who he is,so I will introduce you to him,this is IJN Nagaro,3rd ship of the Nagato Class Battleships
The girls were shocked as they all started talking with one another,I slightly turn around to see how brother was doing as I know that he is shy,I saw his eyes as he looked tired,he repeatedly closed his eyes as he seemed to be trying to stay awake but he failed as he closed his eyes and started falling forward,I noticed quickly as I caught him before he fell to the ground,the others notice as I swing his arm over my shoulder so it was easier to carry him
Mutsu:is he ok
Nagato:he's just tired
Mushashi:probably from putting up that shield from before
Nagato:he needs rest,we shall take him back to the shrine
Mutsu:I'll help you
Yamato:alright girls,we have a lot of rebuilding to do,someone get Akasi so she can start repairing everyone,we need to get this base back to the best condition
Everyone:YES MA'AM
everyone left to start repairs on the base as we brought brother back to the shrine,so he could properly rest,Mushashi decided to carry him as we walked back up the base
Author:and here ends the first chapter of this story,I do hope you all enjoyed,don't forget to vote so I know that you all want more,hope that you all lool forwad to the next one,until next time
