Raise of the Storm Pirates
Chapter 2
Tortuga
Ok…glad to see people like it….now….Yachiru will be three years younger then naruto in this, so I guess she will not be with Naruto. It will probably be a father daughter thing….Anyway….here is the second chapter!
It had been two years since Naruto found himself washed up on the beach and who he was. He had of course went to the nearby town a few time get some stuff to eat when he didn't feel like hunting. He had enough money for a lot of thing because of the furs he collected from the animals he had killed, so he had enough to buy food when he wanted. What he did not know was that one of Jiraiya's spies was there and he had been watching the young boy very carefully.
Anyway, Naruto had learned quite a bit thanksto one of his own jutsu called the Shadow Clone. He learned that what ever it learned, he learned. Well…everything except physical stuff but he really liked to train his ass off for some reason. Thnaks to his dad, he was able to use gravity seals on his body to make him stronger. Thank god for that because he had to work for his strength and he was now at 100 times gravity, wchich could be a few tons but he lost count. He the Flying Thunder God Jutsu had been a real pain in the ass but he had figured it out. It seems it was connected to the Arashigan. He found out that you have surround yourself in the electrons in the air or the lightening and then focus on a point or points you want to go! It took a few thousands tries with the help of his clones, but he had got it! He had found out the reason his father had to use those three pronged kunai, and that was because his Arashigan was not a developed as his was. You see, There are three stages to the bloodline and his father had only gotten the first stage while he had unlocked all three. It seemed that he had to be of age to activate it or go through immense pain to activate it. He guessed it was a little bit of both, but with his lack of memories, who knows The second stage was through hard work and the last stage was activated through a sense of betrayal, but his memories would not come back to him and the really annoyed him but as long as he has to the power to help his future crew, that was fine with him.
Now many would wonder what powers he had gained from the Arashigan. Well, the first stage allowed for taijutsu awareness, which meant that he could predict what his opponent would do in battle, immunity to genjutsu or any kind of illusion, lets his learn any kind of ninjutsu rather quick like, be it either normal, forbidden, or bloodline, and complete control over one's natural element, which for him was wind. Some would think that is he learned bloodline jutsus he would have the bloodline, but that is wrong! He would just have a variation of the original jutsu. In second stage, he was given greater knowledge, knowledge of seals, and complete control over wind, water, and lightening or if had already had one of those in the first stage, he would get a different element thanks to his chakra. In third stage, he learned that he could use three ultimate jutsu. They were Divine Storm, which was that he could form a raging storm in the area, Divine Guardian, which created a beast of immense power from all the elements that the user could control, and the last one was called Song of the Great Sea Storm. The only problem with this is that he had no clue what it did. He read that it was a jutsu created by a Namikaze and an Uzumaki and that they hid that attack in the ocean so that only a person with both of their blood could find it and use it. He also guessed that like the other two attacks, this one was a chakra hog. Sure he had a shit load of chakra, but he knew his limits and if he ever wanted to use them more them once, he would have to train a lot more.
Now from his mom, he learned quite a bit of water jutsu, sword skills, and a taijutsu that was quite effective. Of course he learned his father's taijutsu but his also wanted to learn his moms as well. It was called Kung Fu. He would just find a way to combine them when has done. His sword skills were pretty good, but not the best yet. His sword was different as well. He learned that it was sentient and it name was Zanmaru. He was the twin brother of Zangetsu. They got along pretty well and now he was trying to learn some spirit skills. He had also found a couple of metal tubes in the scroll called chakra metal. All he had to do was add his own chakra to it and he would have another weapon….well that was what Zanmaru said anyway. So he did that and it morphed into a rather large blade. Its shape was a huge kitchen knife, colored black with a dragon and a sea serpent spiraling around either side of the hilt and bitting into the sides of the blade, creating red 'cracks' in the black metal. To say Zanmaru and Naruto were shocked was an understament, because the blade was called Zangaru, the father of Zangetsu and Zanmaru. After that he had put Zangaru in a seal on the collar on the back of his coat and Zanmaru in a seal on the inside of his coat. He just loved seals.
After that he had learn some of his sea powers, but not really going into the more then he really needed to know. Those one thing that stood out were the two summoning scroll that granny had that was from both families. One was Dragons while the other was Sea Serpents! When he signed and summoned them both at the same time, well…let's just say it was different to say the least.
Flashback, one year ago
"DOUBLE SUMMONING JUTSU!" The boy, at the age of fourteen, had summoned two of the oldest summons ever!
"OI, who summoned us!" yelled a very large silver chinese dragon.
"I would like to know as well, but it is god to finally be out after 1000 years."
"Uh….that would be me." Came Naruto reply from below them.
They looked down and saw a child and the Dragon looked deep in the boy's eyes and into his soul while the Sea Serpent just chuckled and asked, "Was up dude….Name's Gill, who are you?"
Naruto sweatdropped at the Sea Serpent's Surfer Dude like personality and said, "I am Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze. I wish for you two to be my summon guardians please." He then bowed to them to show respect to them.
"Well shit bro….the two families finally became one….what do ya say?" asked Gill.
"I have seen the boy's past, even though he cannot. I not seen such a soul withstand so much pain and torment and still be friendly and loyal as he is. I, Haru, accept this young boy as our summoner….this will be interesting." With the two nodded to each and glowed for a moment before the two of them charged Naruto and in painful flash of light, two tattoos where on the boy's arms. He then decided to wrap up the tattoos so that no one would know.
Flashback end
That had been weird. One had been a laid back while the one was serious. Not that he complained. Now however he was on his ship, sailing for the first time to a far off island he had seen. He was going there to explore and take a small break from training. He figured it would be a few days before he would get there.
Far of Island a few days later…
A twelve year old girl with pink hair was currently scowling. Why? Well, that was be cause after a year on the mortal plain she still hasn't found what she has been looking. Her name was Yachiru and she used to be a soul reaper. "Why….why can't I find that one fruit!" She growled out. She was still herself but she had grown in the two years that she had been kicked out of soul society. Why, well….
Flashback
Yachiru had just witnessed a very evil hollow, kill her father figure, Kenny as she called him. It had gotten the upper hand and surprised him and the ruthlessly kill him. She thought it was impossible for her Kenny to die, but he was gone….gone. AND now Captain Yamanato thought it best that she live a normal life as a human instead of becoming Captain! She just could not take it anymore and cried in Ikkaku's or baldy's chest. She was going be taken away from her family, if not a little messed up family, but that was just wrong! The old captain knew he was hurting the girl but he was doing this to protect the girl.
So, she was striped of her powers and put in an empty shell which turned her into a human since she was a natural born spirit and all she needed to become human was to get an empty shell.
In her heart, she knew she must get her powers once again, for if she didn't the world was doomed! Or so she thought. So she made it life goal to find a way to get her powers back, and that is when she heard about a certain fruit.
Flashback end
She was currently in the port town of Tortuga. She really hated this place, full of drunkards and lucherous idiots. Luckily, they didn't got after her much because she was a kid. Still, it sucked and she only came her because she heard that the Hollow Hollow Fruit was here. She had heard about this fruit from a merchant who sold it a long time ago. He said that it power to give the user the power over a dark spirit in the form of the mask, so in other words, she would become a Vizard. Only thing was, SHE HAD BEEN LOOKING FOR HOURS AND THERE WAS NO CANDY!
So she went into a local bar and order a chocolate milk. The bartender just sighed and gave it to her. He had learned yesterday not to argue with kids. Not a good way to learn if the black eye was anything to go by. "No luck kid?"
"No…" Was all she said and the bartender just nodded and left. She stayed for about 20 minutes and decided to leave until she heard some one talking about the fruit a couple tables down.
"Alright mates, I got the fruit." The first man, who was rather big and he was taking to his crew, which had quite a few pirates at the table.
"You mean that fruit that let's people control our spirit sides or something like that?" said one of the female members of the group.
"Yeah…the Hollow Hollow Fruit. Thin of all the mayhem we could cause with it!" then brought out the black and white looking fruit and held in his hands to his crew members. That was a mistake because Yachiru, quick as a cat, leapt for it and ran out with it. She laughed all the way out of town with it with a horde of pirates after her.
This was the scene Naruto came upon when he was at the entrance of town. "Ok…..might as well check it out." He did just that from the shadows until the girl jumped a nearby tree and the crowd just passed on, not noticing what she did. He jump in as well, but a branch above her, not making a sound. He took a moment to see what she actually looked like.
She looked to be about 12 years old and had short pink hair that went down to her neck. She had some white gym shoes, blue jeans, and a pink shirt with a cat skull on it. He was going to say something but she starting talking. "Finally…I can become one with the spirits again…..with this Hollow Hollow Fruit." She was about to eatit until she heard his voice.
"You sure you want that…..it is a cursed fruit for a reason."
"Wha….who said that?!" she said a little startled.
"Just look up."
She did and was surprised to see a teen a few years older then her and decked out in full pirate gear. "Oh….so what! I want my old powers back…..I used to be a soul reaper and this fruit will get me closer to it then anything in this land!" She was about to eat it again but found it was gone! Well, gone was not true, it was floating on the wind towards the boy.
"Tell me more about this Soul Reaper power and give it back to you, without the not being able to swim part." She was shocked that this boy wanted to her about her story. He didn't even laugh at the Soul Reaper part! So she did and all through out the story, he never laughed or anything like that. In the end, he just made the fruit glow for a few minutes before tossing it back to her.
"Wait, why did you do that for me?" asked the very confused Yachiru.
"Dunno, just helping out a person that I deemed worthy."
"The hell does that mean!"
"Name Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze….and I am just a fruit user like you will be when you eat it. Besides, I like to help people with odd pasts like me. From what I am told I had a bad past like you, but I can't remember it."
"I see, I am Yachiru….well here goes nothing!" she said as she ate the fruit and then yelled that it was the worst tasting fruit she ever had! After a few minutes, she began to glow pink before she had a pink cat like mask on her left hip and a sword on her right. "YES!" She yelled as she jumped down to do a happy dance.
"NO! The brat ate the fruit! Kill the little bitch!" Said a male voice she recognized the leader of the pirates she had stolen the fruit from. His crew members all yelled aye aye and charged the girl. She may have gotten her powers back but she was not ready to fight just yet as she had to get use to her power again. So naturally, she was fear stricken. She closed her eyes, waiting for the killing strike, but it never came.
She opened them to see that Naruto was in front of her, one arm stretched out with a metal slab connected to his hand. "Don't worry Yachiru…..let me handle this idiots."
"Oi! Who the hell are you!" asked the captain.
"Name's Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze and I don't want you to hurt my new friend….got it!"
The pirate captain just laughed and then growl out, "Sorry kid…she stole that fruit from us and since you are helping her, you are going to die as well. ATTACK!"
Naruto just sighed as he jumped over the first two idiots to attack and sent a few bolts of lightening at the poor souls, frying them. He then bent the lighting and shot it at some of the other pirates. He smirked and pulled the water out of the air and flung it at the pirates around the captain and then let lightening flare from his finger tips to the crew members and then to each of the others crew members in a ring around the captain, who was shocked beyond belief. He looked to the boy to say something but was stopped at the site of a ball of blue energy forming in his hands. The boy then ran at him yelling, "Rasengan!" The ball of blue energy was slammed into the man stomach who then was blasted away through the tree line.
When all was said and done, all Yachiru could do was say, "Whoa!" She then noticed that was walking away and yelled, "Hey! Mind if I travel with you?"
"If you can keep up!" Naruto said as he kept on walking. Yachiru smirked and ran after him, thinking that her life just got interesting again.
Two Weeks Later…
During this month, the two had gotten to know each other better and Naruto acted like a big brother while she thought of had as a father figure like Kenny was. Naruto trusted her enough to even tell her about him being the Sea God. She took it surprisingly well and started calling him Naru-chan or Merman. That was because in that month, she had pushed him off the port of Tortuga and he sank like rock but he could breath under water. He had decided to freak her own a bit by staying under and exploring a bit. What he found was a message in a bottle. Sure she had been freaked out and then just plain pissed at him but she got over it after he showed her what had found. Once opened, he was shocked to find out that this was the Song of the Great Sea Storm!
It seemed that it was made by Nina Uzumaki and Haku Namikaze….fifty years ago! These two were in love but could not be together. They decide to hide their ultimate technique for not even they had the power to use it and they made so that only one of their own blood could use it. Meaning….him. Only problem was that it required the use of a guitar and he didn't have one or even know how to play one, though, today was his lucky day.
They were currently on the docks again, looking for a good place to set sail back to where he came from. What stopped them was the sound of some one playing guitar. They followed the sound to a boy around their age, sitting on the docks. He had pure white, spiky hair that went down his back a bit, which was under a large straw hat. He also had Tanned skin, no shoes, some plain black pants, a white shirt that was ripped in places that showed that he wore medical tape underneath, and some armor on his forearms and shins.
When they approached, they noticed he was chained to the docks! He also stopped playing to lazily look at them with his lava colored eyes. "Well, normally people just ignore my song. You must not be from around here. By the way, name's Kaze Ryu."
"I am Naruto and this is Yachiru. Why are you chained the docks!?"
"Oh…well I could prolly get out of it but I am just way to lazy to it…" The white haired boy said lazily.
For second there, this scene brought a weird memory to his mind and beside Kaze, was the image of a pineapple haired kid, who was lying on the ground looking at the clouds. He quickly shook it off and said, "Well…I could free you on the condition that you join my future crew and teach me how to play guitar."
This got Kaze's attention. "So you wanna learn how to play guitar and you also want me for your crew?" To this he got a nod. "Alright, but don't expect me to much else other then fight with you."
"Right…" Naruto deadpanned as he used two fingers to use the wind to cut the chain off of Kaze.
Kaze rose an eyebrow at that and was about to comment upon it until they heard a crash by a nearby building and out came two figures. One was dark skinned with armor on and what looked to be dagger tails imbedded into both arms. Kaze commented that he was the Black Dagger of Death. The other one was wearing what appeared to be an English style red suit and coat. Kaze commented that this guy was a new guy and went by the name of Alucard the Vampire.
They watched for about a minute before Alucard was wrapped up in those shape chains and then was shredded when the man pull his chains back. "This is the end, you vampiric freak of nature!" The dark skinned man said in an African accent.
Naruto had enough and rushed to help the vampire when he reformed but very slowly. "What is this!?" he said when his wounds weren't healing!
"That is my special poison that kills vampire freaks like you. Boy get out of the way while I kill this monster!"
Alucard had noticed the boy and was intrigued. He showed no fear of him at all. "No…everyone has a right to live."
"Wrongo! The undead need to die! Now after two hours of battle, he will DIE!" The man then lounged forward intent on killing the boy and the vampire. Unfortunately for him, Alucard was not down for the count just yet as he pushed Naruto out of the way and with both of his special guns, blew a big hole threw the man's chest and also blew the man's head clean off!
"Ugh…thanks kid…for distracting him for me…..but I guess it is too late…even for me."
"What to you mean sir?"
"Called me Alucard."
"Alright Alucard, I am Naruto."
The vampire smirked and said, "Good, now, that poison has taken full affect….he was right. I am going to die…..finally. Naruto, take these…..they need to be put to good use." The vampire said as he handed Naruto His black and silver guns that were a bit heavy for him.
"Why me?"
"Heh, well one is that you came to help me and two, I am sure the God of the Sea can handle them. One other thing I would like you to do for me….if you ever meet a girl name Seras Victoria…take into you little rag tag group of yours. She was like a daughter to me."
"I will….that is a promise and I never go back on my promises!"
"Good…and Thank You, Na-ru-to…."Alucard said as he took his last breath and turned to dust, which was swept away in the wind.
After a few moment, Naruto got back up and walked back to his friends while putting the guns in his coat pockets.
"Man….Tortuga is a pain in the ass….can we please go now Mr. Sea God? Could you also tell me why you want to learn how to play the guitar?" asked Kaze a bit irritably as they walked back to the edge of the docks. Sure he had been a bit surprised to find out that bit of info but it wore off pretty quick as he wondered WHY the boy want to learn how to play guitar.
Naruto just chuckled as he whispered 'release' and his ship appeared on the waters. "Well, I am the new Sea God….Calypso gave me her powers and I have to learn all those, along with the power I got from a cursed fruit and my family. One of which is a technique that uses a guitar, the Song of the Great Sea Storm.
Kaze just sighed as he took everything in. First the ship and now this! The legendary song that every guitarist want but cannot have. As they climbed onto the ship, he leaned against the mast and said, "This is going to be a real pain in the ass…..but interesting to say the least. With that, he plopped on his ass and fell asleep as they sailed into the sunset, back to ninja land!
And we are done for this chapter. Kaze Ryu was made by Fallen-Ryu and I do thank you for that OC. I decided to take one of my reviewers suggestions and make Naruto and Yachiru a father daughter thing. More funny that way. Sorry but I don't remember your name but you know who you are.
So tell me what you all think please.
