Hi, guys! Decided to make a crossover between Naruto and One Piece where Sanji is Naruto.

The storyline of Naruto WILL change drastically because I stopped watching it sometime after Jiraya's death and that was ages ago. I do know more or less what has happened after that since my friend, who is a huge Naruto nerd, keeps me up to date, but I'd have to watch the whole thing in order to write accurately about it.

Also, I will try to get the techniques right, but please correct me if there are any mistakes.

(Honestly I don't think I'm the right person to do a crossover between these two, but I there doesn't seem to be any crossovers that use this idea and honestly I don't want to wait for a fanfic that may never happen…)

Also, THIS WILL BE ZOSAN! It will also have some hints of SasuNaru (or SasuSan). Any other pairings will be left up to you.

Now into the story…

A shrill shriek pierces the peaceful atmosphere of a forest somewhere in the Land of Fire. Soon after a sphere of wind, around ten feet wide, destroys the few trees around and in front of it. A young boy stares at the remains of the attack in wonder. A grin spreads on his face as he whoops tiredly, holding his over-exhausted arm close to his body.

Collapsing on his back, he catches his breath and laughs. He feels happy about his success, even if he knows he is going to get yelled at for wasting so much chakra. He can't wait to tell his teacher about the technique.

Now if only he could come up with a name for it.

"There you are Ero-sennin! I've been waiting forever for you!" was the first thing the Toad Sage Jiraya heard when he stepped in the inn room he shared with his pupil. The said pupil was standing a few feet in front of him, hands on his hips and the happiest grin he's ever worn on his face. Jiraya had to take a double take at that one. Usually he got a punch in the face if he took longer than usual at his research trips. Raising a sceptical eyebrow at Naruto, he absently wondered if this was a trick and the punch would come as a surprise.

"You won't believe what I managed to do while training today!" Naruto exclaimed bouncing on the balls of his feet. The sage relaxed as he realized there was going to be no yelling directed at him. He was about to inquire about his pupil's training session, but Naruto beat him to it in his excitement.

"I made a new jutsu!" he said and stared at the man, waiting for his response. Jiraya's both brows had now disappeared under his headband. He was tempted to doubt the claim, but after taking one look into the pair of blue eyes that were glowing in proud happiness, he decided to take the bait.

"Exactly what kind of a jutsu are we talking about?" Jiraya asked and got another beaming smile from the boy.

"I call it; Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!" Again pausing to see a reaction, Naruto practically sparkled at the cool name he managed to come up with.

"Spinning Shuriken?" Jiraya repeated out loud.

Naruto nodded enthusiastically and begun to pull his teacher towards the door. "Yeah! Come on and I'll show you! It's really cool, trust me!"

Mildly protesting, Jiraya tried to pull his sleeve free, but ended up following the child in order to not ruin his fun. It was probably some weird wind enchantment for his shuriken. The boy had been crazy about those the moment he mastered Wind Release: Rasengan. Something he originally thought would've taken Naruto at least a year to perfect, he'd been wrong and completely gobsmacked when it only took a couple of months.

When the pair finally reached the forest they'd been using as training grounds, the sage forgot the thought of normal shuriken immediately. The patch of woods they used was originally a few trees short and a few holes in the ground, but the damage had been increased a massive amount. Right in the middle of the area was a roundish hole from eight to twelve feet wide and around four feet deep. Jiraya was quite sure it didn't come from either of the Rasengan versions Naruto knew how to do.

"Right! Tell me what you think of it after I'm done." Naruto said, snapping the old sage out of it. Naruto went ahead and went through the hand signs for a Shadow Clone and summoned two.

Or he tried to.

At this moment Jiraya was starting to get a feeling something was not quite right. The other clone was normal, it was stretching a bit. The other one however, was not even properly corporeal. It struggled to even stand with its dully coloured legs, looking tired and mumbling something incomprehensible. The two people and a shadow clone stared at the failure of a clone that soon collapsed and disappeared with a poof.

"Weird, that's never happened before." the original Naruto commented dazed before shrugging and trying again, creating a proper one this time. Now there were three Narutos, the right amount. They got into the same position he used for Wind Release: Rasengan and began forming chakra. "Naruto, maybe you shouldn't…" the man started but Naruto shushed him.

Jiraya furrowed his brows and narrowed his eyes as he spotted both the clones and Naruto himself having a little trouble keeping form, especially their right hands seemed to be off, but he kept quiet and watched on. The boy looked like he knew what he was doing.

A split second later of the technique growing in size, Jiraya regretted not stopping the boy while he had the chance. He rushed forward calling his pupils name and hoped for the best as the blast of wind vanished. He slapped himself inside his head for his carelessness.

The technique called Wind Release: Rasenshuriken had spiralled out of Naruto's hand and hit the caster himself straight on.

Naruto struggled to open his eyes, he felt like they'd been clued shut. After a bit of difficulty he managed the feat and frowned at the ceiling. That's not where he was supposed to be. Then again he couldn't remember where else he was supposed to be, it was the inn's ceiling after all. His eyes felt scratchy so he decided to rub them with his hands. If he could move them.

Naruto's frown deepened as he realized his whole body felt a little more than heavy. He could move his toes and fingers on his left hand, but his right arm didn't move an inch.

Before he had a chance to panic, he heard a voice on his right. A voice of someone scrambling on his feet and dashing to him wearing wooden shoes. Wasn't that hard to realize it was the silver haired sage.

"Naruto! You're awake!" he said as his head appeared in Naruto's line of sight. "I almost thought you wouldn't wake up at all." Jiraya continued as Naruto turned his head to see the worried expression of his mentor better.

"What happened?" was what he was trying to say, but came out as a cracking cough. Jiraya handed Naruto a glass of water and helped him drink it while talking:

"Your jutsu nearly killed you." All the memories of the incident hit Naruto like a punch in the face. The sage decided to elaborate seeing Naruto at least looked like he was able to process the information. "The technique exploded on your face. It…", he stopped mid-sentence now completely freaking Naruto out. Jiraya looked like he might just cry with the way he was desperately looking for the right words.

Placing the now empty glass on the floor next to him, Jiraya sucked in a deep breath and whispered what might as well have been a death sentence to Naruto: "The technique cut straight through your chakra pathway system." He could barely process the sage's next words. "You survived okay, but you'll never be able to use any techniques ever again." Those two sentences rolled around Naruto's head as he felt the shock hitting him too hard.

Naruto passed out.

"I'm sorry, ero-sennin." Naruto apologized, surprising the said sage greatly. The boy had stayed silent for a couple of days now, long enough for Jiraya to think the kid would stop speaking completely, and now he said something that made no sense for the hearer. If anything it should be the other way around.

"About what? I'm the one who should've been paying more attention to your training and made sure nothing like this would've happened." he answered truthfully. And honestly enough he'd been blaming himself for everything.

"But I'm the one who made the technique! And you tried to tell me to stop after the clone failed! I was just too stupid to listen!" Naruto shot back in a momentary flash of anger and shame. Jiraya ignored the tone of voice and sighed, his eyes full of pity and quilt. Naruto decided he hated that look. He was used to hate and blaming.

"I could've tried harder. And I wouldn't have listened either if I was in your situation." the sage responded tiredly. He really should change the subject out of self-blame. "How about we agree both of us are at fault?"

Naruto contemplated the suggestion a bit before nodding solemnly. He turned his attention back to his hands, which he'd been staring at ever since he woke up the second time. At least he could move his right arm again. He then whipped his head back up as a thought hit him.

"What about the kyūbi?" he asked looking at his mentor. However, all the hope left his body when he saw Jiraya shaking his head negative.

"I told you, the attack went right through you. And wouldn't Kyūbi supply you with its own chakra if something happened to yours? I haven't been able to detect any sing of the blasted thing or its chakra."

Naruto didn't even have the energy to curse. He felt like it though, when Jiraya looked at him with those eyes again. Naruto started planning...

Jiraya was writing his new book of porn when Naruto called for his attention again. Looking up from his project Jiraya turned to Naruto, motioning for him to continue.

"I can't become the Hokage anymore." the former number one most obnoxious ninja of Konoha stated sadly as if had just come to realize the fact. Jiraya supressed a wince. He knew the subject would come up eventually, but he hoped it wouldn't be mentioned until Naruto was back to full health at least.

"So it would seem." he answered unable to come up with anything sensible to say. After a minute of quiet pondering from both sides, Jiraya continued: "I'm sure there is something else you want to be. You could become a writer, like me, or maybe a ramen chef." He held back another grimace. That was insensitive, even for him. Not like Naruto minded, he didn't seem to even hear him. Another long silence followed, in which Jiraya started playing around with the hem of his coat.

He whipped his head back up when he heard a sniffle. "I-I can't get Sasuke back!" his pupil wailed and begun shedding tears. Jiraya took a second to notice his pupil's state, comparing it to the ball of energy he was before the incident. A few weeks ago Naruto practically radiated confidence, but now Jiraya got the feeling of complete defeat. Seeing his student starting to shake, he threw his manly reputation to the wind and went ahead and hugged the boy.

The sage felt even worse about leaving Naruto alone with his training, while letting the said child weep on his shoulder. "It's all right, Naruto It's not like no one will blame you for this." he said, rubbing Naruto's back.

Naruto shook his head and nearly broke down again talking: "If I can't even bring back Sasuke like I promised to, how can I face Sakura and Lee a-and…" His voice had been rising with every word and Jiraya felt like crying himself at the desperate tone of the boy.

"Then how about sharing some of the burden? Everyone else is doing their best to get stronger as we speak. I'm sure they will get Sasuke back." the man tried and Naruto answered:

"I'm his best friend! I need to be the one to bring back Sasuke. I-I mean that's what I've been training for!"

The Toad Sage couldn't find anything to say back, so he simply continued comforting Naruto with his best effort. The boy truly cared for the raven haired avenger more than the man originally thought.

"I'm sorry to leave you alone, but I really need to go and send this manuscript to my publisher. If I don't do it now, we're going to run out of money and we'll be starving until I do send this."

Jiraya was standing near the door, ready to leave. Naruto sat next to the window, looking outside. "It's fine." he said and closed his eyes. He waited for Jiraya to leave, absentmindedly noting he'd be back in a few hours. He opened his eyes when he couldn't hear the clacking of his mentor's geta any longer. Naruto kept his eyes on Jiraya, who he could now see walking the streets of the small town they were in.

Seeing the old man walk a corner, where Naruto could no longer see him, the boy quickly turned back to the room and ran to the closet. He pulled out a back bag and a piece of paper next to it.

As he placed the piece of paper, a letter, on a place where it could be easily seen from the door, Naruto hesitated. Jiraya had tried really hard to make him feel better and Naruto could see the quilt the man felt. It made him feel a little bad for what he was about to do.

When the Toad Sage arrived back to the room, the letter was indeed the first thing his eyes noticed. The bag of takeaway ramen he had bought as an apology gift for Naruto was dropped to the ground as he went to pick up the letter.

Naruto was gone.

In a trance he folded the obvious goodbye letter open and started reading.

End of chapter 1. A small cliffhanger. (…I'm not even sorry.)

In the next chapter Jiraya reads the letter and returns to Konoha. There's also some Naruto looking for a reason to live.
