The Immortal Ninja Trio build a second model named **Senpū**, as their own personal airship while the first model given to the Caskett family.

## Information

The Flutter-class airship is the Post-Shinobi Era air transportation based on and build from the Tobishachimaru and other airship models.

The blueprints were entrusted onto Naruto's hands by Tazuna and Inari, after he receive a immortality blessing from the other Eight Tailed Beasts. They prepared for him when he will travel in the sands of time when everyone he knew will passed on.

But, Naruto thought about travelling multiverse, even though acquires too much chakra to travel like Kaguya Otsutsuki does, includes Sasuke's and his sensei Kakashi. A transportation going through the portal will take too much strain of his body, even through with Kurama's high regeneration to fix it.

Now accompany by Gaara and includes a newly arrival Menma Uzumaki, who also gotten a blessed from his alternate realm (RTN).

They secretly constructed it based on many historical documents and oldest blueprints, includes Leonardo Di Vinci’s first flying machine since in 1490, and especially their ninja era's own air transportations since before Leonardo, since the era’s technology got devolved from into the starting point and letting them to the starting (re-)developing and revolved.

The project was on hiatus on further noticed, if by means fixing the flaws of the airship's performance and maintenance.

Centuries later when the infamous Wright Brothers: Orville Wright (August 19, 1871 – January 30, 1948) and Wilbur Wright (April 16, 1867 – May 30, 1912) - the American aviation pioneers generally credited with inventing, building, and flying the world's first successful motor-operated airplane. They made the first controlled, sustained flight of a powered, heavier-than-air aircraft with the Wright Flyer on December 17, 1903, 4 mi (6 km) south of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, at what is now known as Kill Devil Hills. The brothers were also the first to invent aircraft controls that made fixed-wing powered flight possible.

Centuries later after the Wright Brothers’ invention went into evolutionary, they successfully build the airship's schematics, they featuring the ship's shape look like a sunfish, once they will began to build

So far they kept the technology owned by Naruto's friends includes others he had known were Tazuna and Inari, compare to the Land of Sky (空の国, Sora no Kuni)’s own technology, besides their chakra-powered Winged Mechanical Device, but unlikely to Leonardo’s Flying Machine, but its not powered by chakra.

And includes Land of Snow/Spring (雪/春の国, Yuki/Haru no Kuni) led by Koyuki Kazehana, the Daimyo herself, after zll they had land-based steam-powered trains.

These were the first blimp airships in the Shinobi Era.

Aware the German inventor Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin (German pronunciation: [ˈt͡sɛpəliːn]) who pioneered rigid airship development at the beginning of the 20th century.

Letting them to (re-)developing the rigid airships like before, after all the Shinobi Era Airship is not compare to Ferdinand’s airship.

Zeppelin's notions were first formulated in 1874 and developed in detail in 1893. They were patented in Germany in 1895 and in the United States in 1899. After the outstanding success of the Zeppelin design, the word zeppelin came to be commonly used to refer to all rigid airships. Zeppelins were first flown commercially in 1910 by Deutsche Luftschiffahrts-AG (DELAG), the world's first airline in revenue service. By mid-1914, DELAG had carried over 10,000 fare-paying passengers on over 1,500 flights.

During World War I, the German military made extensive use of Zeppelins as bombers and as scouts, resulting in over 500 deaths in bombing raids in Britain.

Especially the home to the Caskett Family, since this airship technology were meant to be secret without the public's existent knowledge.

Although, the daughter of the Caskett family likes it, after all that the trio were insisting to had that airship just for her when she grow up, but they build a second just for them, the first airship is a first model called it - The Flutter.

The Flutter is engine powered by both fuel and energy (before converts and modified) when requirements. The first model designated “X-EV/MSV FLUTTER" in the ship prefix.

The ship prefix abbreviation “X” means “Experimental”, which the former is the first experimental vessel; the “EV” means “Exploration Vessel", and the “MSV” means “Multipurpose support/supply vessel".

This second and variant is the called “MSEV Senpū (旋風; Whirlwind/Dust Devil), the abbrev of “MSEV" also means Multipurpose Support/Supply Exploration Vessel".

After finishing constructing the ship(s) had achieves successfully, the trio given their first model as a token and a gift to the Caskett family for a friendship, now that until the daughter will became in charge or piloting and maintaining it.

This Flutter-class airship is powered by a large special chakra crystal called “Quantum Refractor", or a sime Retractor, so far the existence of these crystals were remain secrecy to the world that only the Immortal Ninja Trio knew their hidden locations.

There are two of these Flutter-class airship - The Flutter the Mark 1 and Senpū the Mark 2:

Mark 1 is the first ever airship ever built, went to a trail stage to test its performance. Testing of a vessel's speed, maneuverability, equipment and safety features are usually conducted. Especially the engine acquires improvements, includes power source and fuel to powered it up. It ishuntil handed down to the Caskett family as a gift.

Mark 2 is the successor of the Mark 1, taken most other trails based in the latter's flaws, improved engine, better reactor, and unlimited fuel.

Until Mk 1 is docked buried underground once resurfaces on [Location], along with the Caskett Family were cryo-stasis.

## Layout

During development, the Flutter was designed with a layout similar to its Mega Man Legends 2 appearance, but with the rooms having different positions, the entrance being on Deck 2, having a dining room, and both Roll and Barrell having their own labs in Deck 3.

Due to limitations, the Flutter's interior had to be smaller in the final version of Mega Man Legends. From the entrance, the only areas available are the living room and the bedrooms, the green door being Barrell's room, the red door MegaMan's, and the yellow door Roll's. The bridge and engine room only appear in cutscenes. Of note, outside the entrance appears to be on the top of the ship, while inside it appears to be in the middle as there is a ladder going up to the bridge.

On Mega Man Legends 2 the Flutter had undergone major changes, being closer to its original concept and having more areas available. MegaMan's, Roll's, and Barrell's room are now on the upper deck, the same deck with the entrance and the Flutter's bridge.

The Flutter also has a small balcony on the back, but its door cannot be interacted in any game.

### Deck

The **deck** (甲板 kanpan) provides a great view while the Flutter is high on the sky, but one needs to be careful to not fall as it only has rails on the front. On good days the upper deck is used for drying laundry and sunbathing.

As the Flutter apparently lacks weapons, MegaMan protects the ship from the upper deck, fighting against the Gesellschaft from here in Kattelox Island. The top tail can retract to give MegaMan more space to maneuver. While not shown in-game in the Mega Man Legends games, some artworks and Namco × Capcom show that it has a pole with a line.

### Deck 1

**Deck 1** (第1デッキ) is the top floor of the Flutter, with the entrance on the left side of the ship. The bridge and the bedrooms from the Caskett family are located here, and there is a ladder to deck 2.

#### Bridge

The **Bridge** (ブリッジ) is the cockpit of the Flutter, with the steering wheel and navigation equipments such as a radar and a map. The bridge has a ladder that leads to the upper deck outside the ship. Roll is in charge of steering the ship. MegaMan steers the ship a little in the beginning of Mega Man Legends 2, but he is not very good at it. Roll and Data are often here in Mega Man Legends 2, and the player can access the world map by talking with Roll.

## Author's Note

I have troubles regarding the three Immortal ninjas (Naruto, Gaara, and Menma) were going to Alrest for travel dimensional worlds, after all, I made an idea and create an mobile transportation serve as a home and base to travel all over other worlds.

Although, I really wanted Treasure Planet's R.L.S. Legacy, with a lack of details in the interior just the below deck, kitchen, and hanger in second below deck, essentially the captain's cabin.

Includes my idea in Assassin's Creed: Maelstrom, involves turn sea-based ships into airships.

Anyway, recently, I found a perfect transport for them, they build just small huge scale size than a larger one.

Which the idea of mine is none other than my late time favorite game: Megaman: Legends.

I mean, cannot afford to had the large airship belongs to Bonne family of Air Pirates, the Gesellschaft (Clear Skies), manned by Servbots, after all how big it was, but slow as Man-O-War, includes heavily armed.

Anyway, they adopted few people during their immortal life, the Casketts, and also Gaara created a son since his family was passed, before descends from grandchildren after grandchildren.

Gaara built Volnutt (aka Trigger) while his family to had accept him before that times passes to be part of a family. He learn from the Art of Puppetry, besides his brother Kankuro.

Just like I used to watch Bicentennial Man (1999) movie, I figure that Gaara build it inspired from sci-fi films involves robots, he thought creating a mixture of both organic and software/hardware systems.

That is why bringing Volnutt/Trigger into my story as Gaara's new ‘son' he created, after all it based on the Asura Path of the Six Paths of Pain had weaponized arguments on the body.

Now, onto the declaration of the idea has made for long time.

So now, I decide to had the Megaman Legend's infamous Flutter.

For the interior, decide to had Megaman Legends 2 designed features besides tbe first one since the interior has access the bridge on above on the stairs.

I really don't own it which inspires me to had this in the story.
