Hello Ladies and Germs! Sorry for it being so long since my last update. I lost motivation for a time, and this story is a lot of rewatching of the series. I'm writing this from arc to arc, so it takes a while to rewatch everything and make sure it's right with the series. But, I'm doing something a little different this time. So, with that out of the way. ON WITH THE SHOW! I don't know where I'm going, but I'm going there! WRONG SHOW!
"Ibiki, Inoichi, that's enough for today. Let Tsunade heal him." Minato said as he entered the cell. Ibiki nodded before leaving the room. Inoichi gave the Hokage a sour look before leaving as well. "I didn't want to do this Naruto. I'm sorry." Minato said. He reached out to rub the blonde's head. Naruto used what little movement he could to move out of the way of the hand. He was currently chained up in the cell by his arms. Seals and special cuffs restricted his abilities.
"I only have one thing to say to you, Minato. Did you kill Zoro?" Naruto asked, his eye's a maelstrom of rage.
"Indeed, I stabbed him with a poisoned kunai." Minato said with a frown.
"That's not the question. Did you, kill Zoro?" Naruto asked, his lips twitching into a smirk. Minato looked at Naruto with a confused look.
"I did not stay to make sure he died." Minato said after giving it some thought. Naruto's eyes gained a hint of insanity and his mouth grew into a large foxy grin.
"Then you have not just tickled a sleeping dragon." Naruto said with a laugh.
"What do you mean?" Minato asked.
"You've punched a sleeping dragon right in the face." Naruto said.
"I doubt he will survive. I used the same poison Sasori of the red sands used to poison jinchuriki." Minato boasted.
"Hah, you haven't met Chopper." Naruto said. Minato reached into a pocket and pulled out wanted posters. After flipping threw a few he pulled one out of the stack. It was of Chopper.
"Cotton candy loving Chopper. He only has a bounty of 50." Minato smirked, trying to upset Naruto's beliefs.
"Yeah, we give him crap about that all the time. It's nowhere near his real level. He's also the greatest doctor I've ever seen." Naruto said, looking over to the one way mirror where he knew Tsunade was waiting to come in. "You have done something very drastic, that risks the entirety of not just Konoha, but all the elemental nations." Naruto explained, growing serious once more. "They will come for me, and they will kill anyone in the way." Naruto said.
"Is that a threat? Because I can use that to keep you here." Minato said.
"Of course you can use it. You're the Hokage. A way to keep a leash on the village's strongest ninja in order to keep them from going rouge." Naruto said, pissing Minato off. "But no, it's not a threat. It's a promise." Naruto said dangerously. "And when they come for me, because they will, you will need the strength of all the nations to hold a candle to my families fury." Naruto said.
"They are not your family Naruto. I am you're father. Kushina is your mother. Narumi and Menma are your siblings." Minato said angrily.
"Oh yes, because all of you have been so kind to me over the years. You even kidnapped me back here to continue your loving family." Naruto said sarcastically. "You can go. I've given you the warning, even if you are to stupid to accept it." Naruto said, looking at the wall. Minato opened his mouth to retort, but decided against it and left. After a few minutes, Tsunade came in.
"Naruto." Tsunade said. Naruto looked at her and nodded. He brought forth his hand, that was terribly mangled from his time with Ibiki. Tsunade huffed before her hand glowed green. After a few minutes of silence, Tsunade spoke, breaking the silence. "I don't expect your forgiveness, like Minato does. I was against bringing you back entirely, as I have realized how unbearable it was here for you. I just wish to say I'm sorry for helping to bring you back." Tsunade said as worked on his body.
"I have nothing against you, except that you shirked your duties as Godmother in order to fix the hospital and medical teams at the time, even if you spent more time with my blood siblings. You were doing your orders, even if you were against them, something every ninja is taught. My family will come, and they will save me." Naruto said. Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief.
"You really love them don't you." Tsunade said.
"They gave me all the love and happiness I could have wanted, even if we had some rough times." Naruto said, thinking of Enies Lobby.
"I'm happy then. That you were able to get what you wanted, even if you started out in a bad place." Tsunade said finishing up. "I let your few friends know that you were here." Tsunade said. Naruto was silent as she approached the door.
"Thank you." Naruto said.
An hour later, the door slid open once more.
"Naruto." Said a voice. Naruto stopped staring at the wall next to him. He grinned as he saw who was in the door.
"Shino, It's good to see you, even if the circumstances are less than desirable." Naruto said.
"You've had quite the adventure's." Shino said, sitting down on a chair against the wall. Naruto hated the chair, the way it was mocking him, being just out of reach.
"Yeah, I've had the time of my life these past three years." Naruto said.
"That is good. I cannot believe that you were captured." Shino responded.
"It was a surprise attack. All the elites plus the Hokage. They also surprised Zoro, injuring him." Naruto said.
"Zoro?" Shino asked.
"Yeah, I wrote a bit about my crew remember. He's the swordsman, green hair, terrible sense of direction." Naruto said. Shino sat there for a moment, recalling him memories.
"Ah yes. Zoro, the pirate hunter." Shino said.
"Yeah that's the one." Naruto smiled.
"Could you tell me a bit about your adventure's?" Shino asked.
"Sure, but only one. Can't have to much information on me, even if you're my friend. Although, Inoichi and Ibiki will just torture it out of me." Naruto said. Shino nodded, his bugs going active from his anger.
"Then, how about your family. Can you tell me about them?" Shino asked.
"Sure. Well, lets start with my captain. Monkey D. Luffy. He's like my idiotic Uncle. Then there's Zoro. I think of him as my Dad. He's helped me out through a lot of stuff. I would say Nico Robin is my mother. She shares a similar childhood to mine, and was the reason I was able to open up to the crew. I love her, just like I think a child love's a parent. Then there's Nami, she's like an Older sister. Annoying sometimes, scary some of the other, but looks out for me. Sanji's my other Uncle, only he's one of the biggest pervs around. Cept maybe Franky and Brook, their even bigger pervs. Sanji is really nice, and the best cook ever. Usopp is my final Uncle, he's kinda a walking contradiction. He's a massive liar, but somehow, all his lies eventually have become truths so far." Naruto said.
"Like what?" Shino asked.
"Well, there was one story where he said he landed on a giant gold fish's poop and thought it was an island then he battle the fish and killed it. We ran into a giant gold fish and had to battle it or Merry would have been eaten." Naruto said with a smile.
"Mary?" Shino asked. Naruto smiled sadly before attempting to wipe a lone tear.
"Merry was our first ship. Going Merry was it's name. Eventually, Merry's keel was damaged, and Merry saved us. You see, what happens to very rare ships is that they gain a soul from the love and friendship the sailors have for their ship. Merry had this, and saved us after a giant battle. Merry went out in flame, Merry's spirit crying with us, never to adventure again." Naruto said.
"Why was Merry burned?" Shino asked.
"Luffy. He said that the bottom of the ocean is a cold lonely place. We didn't want our friend to be forgotten." Naruto said, wiping away another tear.
"You're being awfully open to me Naruto." Shino said.
"This information is not important. If anything it would make Luffy madder if he learned i was tortured for information." Naeuto grinned. Shino stood up and approached the door.
"Its been good seeing you. I must go." Shino said.
"Shino. When they come, dont die." Naruto said. Shino nodded before walking out the door. Half an hour later, Naruto heard something he actually wished he hadn't.
"YOUTH!" Came a cry.
"Oh no." Naruto said, hanging his head. The door opened and three figures walked in the room.
"Naruto! Your Youth has diminished!" Lee said. Standing next to him was Tenten and Gai.
"Well Lee, i kinda got tied up a bit. Mind helping me out?" Naruto smirked.
"I cannot do that! Gai sensei has prohibited me freeing you!" Lee yelled. Naruto flinched at the spandex clad ninja.
"Could you keep it down a bit? my hearing is kinda sensitive, I'm already tortured enough as it is." Naruto said. Tenten and Gai frowned while Lee apologised.
"Naruto..." Gai started. Naruto lifted a hand to stop him.
"I don't blame you Gai, you followed Orders from your leader." Naruto said. Gai visibly relaxed at this, while Tenten gave him a confused expression.
"Gai sensei, what's Naruto talking about?" She asked.
"Gai was apart of the group to capture me. All the Elites along with the remaining Sannin and the Hokage ambushed me. I got a few of them, but was overwelmed." Naruto explained. Tenten walked up to Naruto and hugged him before kissing him on the cheek.
"I missed you." She said quietly.
"I missed you as well Tenten." Naruto smiled.
"Why have they locked you up Naruto?" Lee asked.
"They wanted to make sure they break me, so that i don't escape the moment these chains come off." Naruto smirked. Lee and Tenten were alarmed, while Gai looked sad, as he knew this was going to happen. "Then I issued a verbal warning, one which the Hokage has ignored." Naruto smirked. "Don't die when they get here guys. I don't want to have to dig your graves." Naruto said.
"Naruto... I don't think your crew is as powerful as you think." Gai said, remembering the ambush.
"If you're talking about Zoro, you've only pissed him off. And you left him alive, so the rest of the crew knows of some of your abilities, meaning that they will be prepared, and out for vengence." Naruto explained.
"He's your father figure right?" Tenten asked.
"Yeah, he's taught me a lot, and helped me through a lot. They all have." Naruto said lost in his memories.
"I look forward to our future opponents." Gai said in his nice guy pose.
"Well, if you really want to fight martial artists, Chopper and Sanji are your guys, and Reindeer." Naruto said. Gai and Lee's eye's lit up at the thought of a taijutsu fight.
"Um, reindeer?" Lee asked.
"He's a reindeer that ate the Human Human fruit." Naruto said. Lee and Tenten looked really confused.
"Gai can probably tell you. I haven't gotten to that part of the story." Naruto said looking at the camera that recorded his room.
"Well, we best be going. We've got a mission." Gai said. Tenten hugged him one more time before they left.
"You can come out now... Itachi." Naruto said. The wall next to him shimmered before Itachi appeared.
"Hello Sensei." Naruto said.
"Are you here to interrogate me with the sharingan? Or just to speak?" Naruto asked.
"If I wanted to, you wouldn't realize that you were under the Sharingans power." Itachi said.
"Not to your knowledge." Naruto smirked.
"I'm here to see how you are faring. After the fight, your teammate was injured and you were immediately brought here." Itachi stated.
"He's not dead, and they will find me." Naruto said. I'm starting to sound like a broken record. Naruto thought.
"How can you be so sure?" Itachi asked. Naruto had that slight insane look once more.
"I put certain procedures in place incase of such an incident." Naruto said. Itachi's eye's widend. "I'll give you a hint. I'm still alive."
"You knew we were going to come after you." Itachi said.
"Of course. I hold the nine tailed fox's soul. With out it, Narumi and Menma will never fully control his powers." Naruto smirked. "I've known that for quite a while, so I prepared. One of your Shinobi is missing a head band, no?" Naruto said. "You are Anbu captain, last i heard." Naruro smirked. Itachi rushed out of the room, straight to the Hokage's office.
He burst through the door, not caring about who was in the room.
"What is it Itachi?" Minato asked. With him was Kushina and Jiraiya.
"One of the Retrieval team lost their Headbands." Itachi said.
"I had not heard of this, but how does it affect anything?" Minato asked.
"Naruto knows that it was taken." Minato's eye's widened in surprise. "He also said, that he's put plans in place for when we came for him." Itachi said.
"So he planned for in case we came for him. It doesn't change anything." Jiraiya said.
"He didn't say if. He said when. He knows of the Fox. I do not know how, or how the headband plays into this, but something is off. He does not show signs of blind trust in his crew to find him. Whatever he's done, he's certain his family will come to get him." Itachi informed.
"Did he say anything else Itachi?" Kushina asked hopefully.
"Only a bit about his crew, and that Sanji and Chopper seem to be Taijutsu users. Oh. He gave me a hint about how they will find him." The Uchiha clan head said.
"What is it?" Jiraiya asked.
"He's still alive." The Toad sage grew alarmed at this.
"Sensei? What is it?" Minato asked.
"They will come. That is for sure. Minato, we need to alert the other villages of this. Where ever they land, they must be apprehended." Jiraiya said.
"What? They actually will arrive in the Elemental Countries?" Minato said.
"If what I think happened is true Naruto has ensured that his crew will find him, even if they due trying. He's created a Vivre card."
Meanwhile, On Sabaody.
"Hey Guys!" Luffy yelled.
"Luffy!" Chopper yelled befor hugging the rubber man.
"Anyone seen Zoro or Naruto?" Brook asked.
"Yeah, where are they?" Luffy asked.
"Rayleigh said that they arrived already when i went to see him." Sanji said. They waited another hour. "I bet moss head got them lost." Sanji said, lighting a cigarette. Suddenly, a large smokescreen poofed on the ship. Everyone grabbed their weapons in preparation for battle. As the smoke cleared, they gasped as they saw Zoro, hosting an unhealthy color of purple, with a small fox with a headband in it's mouth.
"Zoro!? What happened!?" Chopper yelled as he rushed to his aid.
"I got Stabbed by this Blonde Bastard." He said in between breaths.
"What about Naruto!?" Robin asked.
"They got him. Naruto was kidnapped by his old home."
I think that's a good place to leave off. So, again, sorry for such a long wait, I plan to update much sooner. So from now the story will be told a bit different, only the major story arcs like alabasta will be told. Also, I am giving Naruto some abilities that are non ninja. I bid you all adieu.
