As Naruto sat around the table with the members of the Straw Hat Pirates he took in a breath as he looked over all of the eager faces before him. "Before I start, do you guys want to get the guy hiding on the deck to join us?" Asked Naruto.

This got confused looks from everyone as they had no idea who he was talking about. "There's no one on the deck." Spoke Franky. Naruto just looked at them before he stood up and disappeared in a blur.

This caused the Straw Hat's eyes to widen, before they all got up and rushed towards the deck. If there was someone else on board that wasn't supposed to be there it could cause problems for Naruto since he was suppose to be hiding.

Naruto instantly appeared on the deck in front of a barrel, where he could sense a lot of fear. "Do you want to come out peacefully, or do you want me to force you out?" Instantly the barrel began to shake before the top was lifted off.

It took a few seconds before Naruto recognized the man before him "What's one of the Caribou brothers doing aboard the Straw Hat ship?" Asked Naruto.

The man before him was tall with dark skin and hair that reached his shoulders. That looked wet for some reason. He had a beard in the shape of a whirl going upwards on his chin and heterochromia like eyes.

He wore red pants with brown shoes and a cream colored shirt with overly long sleeves and a red x pattern on the chest. Over that he wore a black fur coat with a green and black spotted interior.

This was Wet Hair Caribou, and Naruto was sure he wasn't supposed to be here. It wasn't long before Naruto heard running as the members of the Straw Hat crew joined them on the deck.

"Hey! Who the hell is this guy, and what's he doing on my ship?" Asked Luffy angrily. Caribou just started shaking in even more fear. He had planned to kill the Straw Hat crew, but then the monster before him had boarded.

If Luffy was feared because of his bounty, then how was he supposed to feel towards the blond? He was now really regretting getting on this stupid ship.

"He knows I'm on board this ship, which might cause problems for me. We'll have to get rid of him." Spoke Naruto. While he had only meant that they had to remove him from the ship, Caribou took it to mean they had to kill him.

"No, please, I won't tell anyone. I can keep a secret so you don't have to worry about me saying anything, I promise." Begged the man, now fearing for his life. This got raised eyebrows from everyone else.

"I don't think so, you're too much of a wild card. At least Rayleigh vouched for the Straw Hats and, even though I just met him, I have a feeling he's trustworthy. Way more than you are, at least." This statement from Naruto caused Caribou to feel even more fear.

"Please, I'll do anything. I'll even join the crew so that you won't have to worry about me going anywhere." Pleaded Caribou.

"Hey who said you could join my crew?" Asked Luffy who had no interest in Caribou joining his crew.

"Yea, as if we'd want someone as creepy as you on board." This time it was Nami who had spoken.

"Why are you here anyway?" Asked Robin, though she had a good idea of possible reasons he had snuck onto their ships. Caribou instantly tried to lie, since he didn't have the balls to try and get into a fight with anyone present.

"Well, when I heard that Straw Hat Luffy was in town, I just had to try and get to meet him, since he's my idol. So I snuck on board once I recognized this as his ship, and that's why I'm here."

Caribou hoped that they had bought his lie, but his hopes were immediately shattered when Naruto spoke. "He's lying. Knowing him and his brother's reputation, along with what I can sense from him, he most likely came aboard to try and kill you guys."

Caribou's complexion went even paler after Naruto had spoken, and now all of the Straw Hats were giving him wary looks. "Please, I beg you all to spare my life. I promise that I won't be a bother to any of you again." Begged Caribou now on his knees.

"Well, Luffy, it's you ship and so your decision." Spoke Naruto while leaving the choice to the captain. Whatever Luffy decided would be final since Naruto didn't really have any say in what happened on board.

Luffy seemed to consider his options before he spoke. "Throw him overboard." Caribou's eyes widened in horror at the prospect. Not only will he get weakened by the seawater, but the pressure from the depth they were at would surely be the end of him.

Luckily Robin was the one to point this out. "If we were to throw him out at this depth then he will surely die." Spoke the dark haired beauty. Luffy looked confused for a moment before he nodded in acceptance.

"I didn't think about that. Why don't we tie him up or something then." Replied the captain once more. He didn't really want to kill the guy, so he would contain him until they could reach somewhere they could get rid of him.

"Tying him up wont work. He has a Devil Fruit ability that allows him to turn into a swamp since he ate the Swamp-Swamp Fruit." All of the other spectators were surprised by Naruto's knowledge.

"You know a lot about this guy." Spoke Ussop in a shaky voice. He was still completely terrified of Naruto, and didn't really trust having him on board. If it wasn't for the fact that Rayleigh himself had requested it he would've been against the whole thing.

"I know a lot about anyone that can be a threat to me. I've studied and learned about all of the heavy hitters of this world, whether old or new, which includes this crew." This confession from Naruto got everyone's attention.

"So you've been studying us. How much exactly do you know?" Asked Robin once more. She could respect the effort it probably took to keep track of every powerhouse in the world.

"I don't know much more than the basic information that you can find anywhere like abilities and such, so don't worry about me knowing anything personal." Replied Naruto. Hearing this lowered the creepy factor that some of them were feeling towards the blond.

There was one thing that Robin had to know, however. "Since you know about us and what we can do, how well do you think we'd fare against you?" She asked. Someone with his reputation and power, she really wanted to know how they might do against him.

Naruto seemed to consider this for a second before he replied. "Well, I don't mean any disrespect, but I'm sure that I can wipe you all out without much problem, however that depends on how much of a fight you can all put up."

This caused all of the members of the Straw Hat crew's eyes to narrow. "That's a pretty bold claim to make. I have a feeling that you're underestimating us." Spoke Robin with a wicked smile on her face.

While she held respect for Naruto's power, as even Dragon himself had wanted to get his hands on him, she also had respect for her and her crewmates power as well. So for someone to come and just dismiss them so casually was quite vexing.

"Yeah, what makes you think that we're so weak? You might have some big-shot bounty, but don't think of looking down on us." This time it was Nami who had responded, which caused Naruto to sigh.

"I never said that any of you were weak, I just said that I'm stronger. I know about every one of your Devil Fruit abilities ,for those of you aboard that has them, and they're no threat to me. I have been planning ways to take down any Devil Fruit I could get info on, in case I had to battle someone with them."

"Oh really, and how would you go about taking us down?" This time it was Luffy who asked the question, showing one of his rare moments of intelligence. If this guy had really been planning ways to take them down then they should probably try to find out how.

"I'd rather not say yet since I don't fully trust any of you, but I give you my word that I'm no threat to any of you as long as you all don't become a threat to me." This statement didn't really sit well with anyone.

"So you want us all to just trust you when you just admitted that you've been making plans to take us all down?" Asked Zorro, who wasn't about to just let that fact go.

"Well, I didn't really make plans to take you guys down, just your Devil Fruits, though I am prepared to take any of you guys on as well if the situation calls for it."

"So why don't you tell us what your ability is so we can all be on even ground. We can't really trust someone who knows our weaknesses, but doesn't want to tell us theirs." Once more Robin was the voice of wisdom as she tried to get some info on Naruto.

Naruto thought about if he should tell them about his abilities, but decided just to show them two, since they were going to hear about them in his story anyway. It didn't matter if they knew about them, since there was nothing they could do to stop him.

He quickly sent a concentrated burst of killing intent towards Caribou in order to knock him out, since he didn't want anyone outside of the Straw Hats knowing about these abilities, and that was because he'd most likely use them in their presence at some point..

So with that Naruto raised his hands in his signature cross pattern. Instantly there was a puff of smoke, which startled everyone else since they weren't expecting it. Once the smoke cleared there was now ten copies of Naruto, including the original.

All of the pirates eyes widened in shock. Before anyone could ask if they were real or not Naruto and his clones each walked up to someone else, Caribou included, and leaned on them which allowed them to feel that they were all real.

"Amazing, you can make actual copies of yourself. I've never seen a Devil Fruit like this." Spoke Robin, truly amazed. Naruto would've corrected her, but he saw no point. It was best to let them believe that he had the weaknesses of a Devil Fruit user.

"Yeah, it is pretty cool, but that's not all." Spoke Naruto. With that Naruto and his clone once more created a hand sign, and once more caused smoke to emerge. If everyone was surprised by his clones, then they were definitely shocked by what they saw next.

Standing next to each person was an exact replica of themselves. Everyone instantly had different reactions to the sight. Both versions of Sanji began drooling and was happy that there was now two versions of Robin and Nami each.

The two Namis were walking around each other and checking each other out. Both Frankys were making different poses. Both Ussops were nervously checking each other out. Both Brookes were making skeleton jokes, both Luffys were looking at each other confusedly, and both Choppers were making funny faces at each other.

Both Zorros were looking at each other with arms crossed and annoyance on their faces, though they both looked ready to draw their swords at a moments notice, and both Robins were looking around in slight amazement.

Both Caribous were on the floor with the clone also appearing to be unconscious. Seeing all of this caused Robin to come to a very terrifying realization. Naruto, even though he had only been around everyone for a short time, had copied all of their personalities almost perfectly.

The fact that he had picked up so much about all of them in such a short time showed how much attention he had actually been paying to them. She knew that if any of these copies had approached her she probably wouldn't have known they were duplicates unless she asked something only the originals would know.

With what she was seeing she was starting to get a good idea of how the blond had done what he had. "How much copies can you make?" She asked the copy of herself who was the closest person she could get an answer from.

"Why do you want to know?" Asked her copy with an eerily good imitation of her behavior.

"I think I'm starting to have an idea on how you accomplished something that had never been done, and if my hunch's right you're probably one of the best infiltrators in the world." Replied Robin.

Naruto could see the genuine interest in her eyes, so decided to humor her. "Well, while I don't know what my exact limit is, I know that I can make at least a thousand with no hassle." This answer was more than Robin ever imagined.

It was always a wonder how nobody had ever realized what was happening in the Holy Land, and how no alarms had been raised. Now she had a pretty good idea, though she wasn't expecting the blond to be able to make so much copies.

"How strong are your clones?" Asked Robin finding the whole thing quite interesting. If what Naruto was saying was true, then he was a literal one man army that could take the form of others.

Those two abilities were dangerous in any situation, and she had to know more about them. "Each of my clones share the same stats as me. We're all equally strong, so anything I can do they can too."

Naruto felt no care in sharing these abilities, since he was probably bound to use them in front of the Straw Hats soon anyway. His ability to transform was how he avoided his pursuers, since nobody but the people he saved knew about the ability, and he doubted they would tell anyone.

The only reason he didn't use it in Sabaody was because he was extremely tired and didn't trust being able to keep it up, so he had worn his cloak. It was after getting over her shock a bit that Robin came to another realization.

"You have two Devil Fruit abilities. How did you manage to do that?" Robin asked in shock, which had finally broken everyone else out of their own amazement as they realized Robin's statement was true. He had the ability to transform and make clones, which they were sure was two different abilities.

"I'm just full of surprises. Now, can we wrap up this whole intruder situation so that I can begin telling you all my story?" Asked Naruto, reminding everyone of the stowaway on board while dispersing his clones.

"He's right, but how the hell do we hold someone that can turn into a swamp?" Asked Zorro, curiously.

"You can put him back in the barrel he was hiding in and seal the top, since it was made to hold liquid. Just keep an eye on it though, since he might be able to break out of it." The others nodded at the suggestion before turning their attention towards Caribou.

It was at this moment that Franky picked up the unconscious body and stuffed it into the barrel, followed by him sealing the top up.

"Now let's go, the lunch I prepared is getting cold and I can't stand not serving my food at top quality." Said Sanji as he took another drag from his cigarette. This reminder caused Luffy to give a shout of 'meat' before rushing back towards the dining room, with everyone else following behind.

As everyone else returned to the dining room, with Franky having secured the barrel with their captive someplace for safe keeping, everyone sat down and prepared to eat once more, along with hearing Naruto's story.

As Naruto looked around and saw all of the eager faces looking at him he released a breath. "Since you're all ready again like I said earlier my story begins on a small island in the West Blue."

xxXXxx Flashback

Blue eyes blearily opened to see that they were in a small room. As the owner sat up and began looking around they could tell that this was probably a young child's room, if all of the apparent handmade stuffed animals were anything to go by.

The fact that the bed he was sitting on was also quite small also helped to affirm his observation. "Where the hell am I?" Thought Naruto to himself. He couldn't help but to try and think about how he had gotten here, but nothing came up.

He tried to contact Kurama to find out if he knew what had happened, but all he received over their mental link was the sound of snoring which signified that the fox was asleep. He wondered what had happened to tire him out, but he couldn't recall.

It was at this time that Naruto began inspecting himself. He noticed that he was stripped down to his boxers, and was covered in bandages. He wondered what had happened to him, but before he could think too much on it the door to the room began to open.

He looked towards it to see who was entering, and was surprised when he saw a little girl, who's room this probably was. As she entered and noticed Naruto was awake she froze, with eyes widening in shock, clearly not expecting this situation.

It was at this moment that Naruto took in her features. She looked to be about eight years old, and had black hair with hazel eyes. She was wearing an old green dress and no shoes. "Um, hi." Said Naruto with a wave.

The girl just let out a loud eep before she bolted out of the room, slamming the door behind her. "Well that was unexpected." Said Naruto. He really didn't mean to scare the kid, but he guessed it couldn't be helped.

As Naruto stood up from the bed he heard the sound of voices somewhere beyond the door. It wasn't long before he heard the distinct sound of footsteps approaching, before the door was opened once more.

This time the person who entered was a man who appeared to be at least in his thirties. He had brown hair and eyes and was wearing a pair of blue faded jeans, a red shirt, and black work boots.

"Well I'll be damned, you are up." Spoke the man in slight shock.

"Yeah, I am. What happened to me?" Asked Naruto in confusion, hoping to finally be able to get some answers.

"I don't know what happened to you. My daughter found you washed ashore yesterday covered with injuries and informed me. I brought you back here and my wife patched you up the best she could, since we don't really have a doctor here."

Naruto could tell the man, who was still looking at him in amazement, was being honest with him. ""So you have no idea then. That's fine, but where am I, and who are you?" Asked Naruto.

"You're on Willow Island, in the West Blue. It's called that because of the abundance of willow trees that are on the island which we used to build up this town. And my name's Gerald, what's yours?" Asked the man, Gerald, as he held out his hand for a shake.

Naruto blushed as he realized that he hadn't introduced himself, even though he was a guest in this house. "Sorry, my name's Naruto Uzumaki, and thank you for helping me." Said Naruto as he shook Gerald's hand.

He wondered where this West Blue was, but he would have to figure that out later. He then remembered that Gerald had said that they were on an island, so he began contemplating how far all of the closest bodies of water were from the Hidden Leaf.

He knew that he had to be pretty far from home since there wasn't really any islands near his home, which meant he would have a good amount of traveling to do. It was a good thing he was really fast and could fly, so he shouldn't take too long to reach home.

Gerald nodded at his introduction and thanks before he felt something against his leg. Looking down he saw that it was his daughter, who was hiding behind him and looking at Naruto curiously. Naruto, seeing the young girl, decided to try and show her he was a nice guy.

He kneeled down and looked her in the eyes while placing his best smile on his face. "Hi there, I'm Naruto. What's your name?" Asked Naruto soothingly. The little girl looked up at her father, who gave her a nod of approval and a smile.

She then slowly walked from behind her father and approached the blond. "H-hello, My name's Sarah. "I-it's nice to meet you." Spoke little Sarah with a slight stutter. She then reached out and shook Naruto's hand as well.

Naruto's smile brightened at this. He didn't want anyone, especially not a kid, to be afraid of him. He was a nice guy after all. "Well it's nice to officially meet you, Sarah, and thanks for getting me help when I needed it. I owe you big time."

The little girl also gave him a smile, as her father chuckled at the scene. He was glad that Naruto seemed to be a good guy, though he would still keep an eye on him. The two had just met, so he wasn't going to just blindly trust him after a few minutes.

"You know you shouldn't be out of bed, right? Hell you shouldn't even be awake with the injuries you had." Said Gerald as he once more was reminded of his shock as the blond didn't even look like he was in pain.

"Oh don't worry about that, I heal really fast." Said Naruto as he ripped the slightly bloodied bandages off of him, to reveal completely unblemished skin underneath. The father couldn't help the shock that showed on his face.

Sarah, however, didn't show any reaction since she wasn't really aware of the injuries Naruto had had, and because she was too young to really care. "That's amazing. I've never seen anyone that could heal from those level of injuries that fast." Spoke the man.

"Yeah, I've heard that a lot." Replied Naruto. It was true. Even among other Shinobi Naruto healed fast due to his different circumstances. There were only few people who could match his healing rate, and some of them were the best medics in the world.

Before anything else could be said everyone heard the sound of Naruto's stomach rumbling. "It seems like you're hungry. Come on, my wife made a lot of food for breakfast, and there's still some left." Gerald said with a smile on his face.

Naruto smiled as he was about to follow the man out of the room, but frowned as he noticed a problem. "Um where are my clothes?" Asked the blond. He didn't want to walk around people he didn't know in his underwear.

"They're covered in blood, so my wife put them to soak for now. Until they can get cleaned you can borrow some of my clothes." Gerald then left the room for destinations unknown, Sarah following behind him.

He came back a few minutes later with a set of clothes in hand. As Naruto took them Gerald turned to leave once more. "When you're done getting dressed you can meet me in the dining room. I'll make a plate for when you reach." He spoke as he finally left.

Naruto then proceeded to get dressed. He was now wearing grey jeans and a brown shirt with no shoes. After he had gotten dressed Naruto stepped out of the room. He immediately found the kitchen by following the smell of food.

As Naruto entered the dining room he saw Gerald placing a plate of food on the table. "Here, sit down. It's not much, but I hope you like it." He said.

"Thank you, it's more than enough. Also thanks for everything else you've done for me." Spoke Naruto gratefully. Gerald just waved him off with a smile.

"It's fine. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I let a kid die when I might be able to help them." Said the man. Naruto smiled to himself at that, though he didn't want to be considered a kid.

Naruto then sat down and began eating the food, which consisted of fried eggs, some toast and sausages. While it wasn't anything fancy it still tasted great. It wasn't long before Naruto had finished eating and moved to the kitchen to clean his dish.

It was while Naruto was cleaning up after himself that he heard the sound of a door opening and closing. It wasn't long before he heard footsteps heading in his direction, followed by a woman entering the kitchen with several bags in hand.

"Honey, I'm back. I got some good st-" Instantly the woman stopped talking as she noticed the blond by the sink. The woman also looked to be in her thirties, and looked like an older version of Sarah, which showed where the young girl had gotten her features from.

She was wearing blue knee length shorts, a black shirt and sandals on her feet. As she noticed the blond staring at her the woman released an eep sound and bolted out of the kitchen, causing a feeling of déjà vu for Naruto.

At least he knew where Sarah also got her mannerisms from. He silently chuckled to himself as he heard the voices of Gerald and, who he assumed to be, his wife talking in another room.

It wasn't long before the two adults and Sarah came back, with Naruto having retook his seat at the dining table. "Hi, I'm Naruto. Sorry for scaring you, though I got the same reaction from Sarah as well." Said Naruto with some amusement in his voice.

"My names Diana, and I'm sorry as well. It's just that I wasn't really expecting you to be up yet, let alone moving around. Are you sure that you're okay?" Replied the woman while looking at him in amazement.

"I told you he heals fast, he's fine." Said Gerald, with Naruto nodding his head in confirmation.

"Yeah, I'm just fine. Thanks for patching me up, and if there's anything I can do to repay you then let me know." Spoke Naruto with sincerity. He didn't know what had happened to him, but these people might've saved his life.

"Oh that was no problem. I'm just glad that you're okay." Replied Diana while giving him a small smile. Naruto just smiled back, glad he had been helped by a nice family.

"While I am thankful for everything you all have done I'll need to be returning home as soon as possible, so do any of you know the direction to the Land of Fire?" He asked since he needed to know which way to go to get home.

The two adults looked at him in confusion since they had never heard of the place, but they knew that there was a lot of places they didn't know in the world. "Sorry, kid, but I have no idea how to get there." Said Gerald.

This revelation caused a bit of confusion in Naruto, since even if they lived away from the main continent they should still have some knowledge on one of the largest lands in the world.

It was at this moment, where Naruto's mind had finally settled down enough after his revealing morning, that Naruto began to notice something he hadn't earlier due to not paying attention.

To make sure of his assumption Naruto quickly entered Sage Mode, and gasped in surprise. The reason for this was because nobody around him had any chakra in their bodies. The only chakra he could sense was his own.

"How the hell is this possible?" Thought Naruto to himself. Everyone had chakra these days. No one could survive without it, so to be surrounded by ninety-eight people that he could sense on the island without any was a shock.

Naruto decide to ask a question to test his theory. "Did any of you guys notice something weird with the moon a few months ago, or have dreams about your perfect life?" Asked the blond.

The confused and cautious looks the husband and wife were giving him was not what he wanted to see. "That's a weird question, but not really." Replied Gerald. He didn't know why Naruto had asked such weird questions, but he figured the boy might still be injured in the head or something.

Naruto just silently cursed at this. "I'm sorry, but there's something I need to check." Replied the blond as he got up and moved to exit the house. He was quickly followed by Gerald, Sarah in her father's arms, and Diana.

As he exited the house he got his first look at the town. It looked like a pretty quaint place with a few houses scattered about in no particular order. Naruto quickly began heading to the edge of town.

As he reached he activated his initial KCM, which he still had enough chakra to use. This new form immediately startled his three companions, but they were even more surprised when Naruto shot up into the air, soon entering the clouds.

xxXXxx Flashback Pause

"Wait, so you mean to tell me that you can do some weird transformation that allows you to fly. I've never heard of anything in this world like you before, and I'd like it if you can explain it to me along with some of these other abilities." Requested Robin, who had interrupted the story.

"HOLY SHIT YOU CAN FLY TOO. JOIN MY CREW." This was the shout of the eccentric Straw Hat captain.

"You're so cool." This response was made by Chopper.

"I'm sure you can you see the amazement in my eyes, at least you'd be able to if I had any. Yohoho" This response was the resident skeleton.

"Can you all just let me finish. I'll answer any questions once I'm done, so just be patient." Replied the slightly annoyed voice of Naruto. After a quick round of agreements Naruto was ready to start again. "Now where was I? Oh yeah, I had just took off into the sky."

xxXXxx Flashback Resume

"What the fuck was that?" Asked Gerald, now wondering who the hell this kid was that his daughter had found. His wife had no answer to give him, just as surprised as her husband was.

Naruto soared higher and higher, until he was at the highest he could go without being in space outright. It was then that he took a look around, and his eyes widened. All he could see for miles around in every direction was the sea, with numerous small islands and continents scattered throughout it.

He knew that his world housed one large continent, so what he was seeing definitely didn't match what he had saw of his own world. Naruto then began to panic a bit more, as his situation just became even more hectic.

This clearly wasn't his world, so what the hell had happened for him to end up here? Naruto, feeling his energy waning a bit, decided to save the rest of his thoughts until he was on the ground again.

He quickly began his descent, and it wasn't long before he had landed back on Willow Island before Gerald, Sarah and Diana. The two adults and one child were obviously giving him shocked looks since they had never seen anything like that before.

Before they could say anything Naruto got another idea. He quickly bit his thumb and used the last of his chakra to try and summon a toad, but nothing appeared, not even the summoning matrix.

He knew that the chakra he had used should've been enough to summon at least Gamabunta, but to get nothing at all meant that he probably didn't have enough chakra at the moment, or at least he hoped so.

"THAT WAS SO AWESOME!" This shout came from the youngest of his spectators, which he had actually expected. Of course a kid would find something like what he just did to be amazing.

"H-how did you do that?" Asked Diana once he had rose up from kneeling on the ground and released his cloak. Naruto just rubbed the back of his head sheepishly before he replied.

"It's one of my abilities. I wanted to check out a hunch of mine and it seems I was right. I'm a lot farther from home than I thought, and I'm not really sure how to get back." Spoke Naruto, truthfully.

He really did have no idea how he got here, so he couldn't even begin to speculate how to return home. The two parents seeing the boys distress decided to try and cheer him up a bit.

"Hey, don't sweat it. I'm sure you'll find a way back home, 'cause someone with your abilities should have no problem doing so." Replied Gerald while getting a nod of agreement from his wife.

He didn't know or understand how the blond had done what he had, but he believed that Naruto would be able to find his way back home. "Thanks a lot for that. You're right, I'll find a way back home someway." Said Naruto with determination burning in his eyes.

The two adults could only smile as they had gotten rid of the blonds sadness somewhat. "So, what are you going to do until then?" Asked Gerald. This question stumped Naruto for a minute.

What was he going to do? He doubted that he'd be able to just instantly solve this problem, even though he wished he could. He also didn't know if the summoning was a viable option or not, but would have to wait until his and Kurama's chakra was back at full power to try again.

"I don't really know what I'm going to do. I was kinda expecting to just be able to head back home when I woke up, but now I know that that's not possible." Said the blond. He would have to find someplace to stay for his duration in this world.

Luckily he had been found by a generous family." Well, if you want to, you can just continue to stay with us." Replied Diana, while looking towards her husband for his approval.

The man just gave her an affirmative nod and a smile. "No' you've already been so kind to me and I can't intrude anymore than I already have." Said Naruto. He didn't want to be a burden to them, nor did he want to keep poor Sarah's room hostage.

"Don't worry about it, kid. You're lost, so until you can find your way home you can stay with us." Naruto just gave the three people who had already done so much for him a grateful smile.

"Then thank you all for your letting me stay with you, and I promise I won't be a burden to any of you." Said Naruto happily. At least now he had one less thing to worry about besides getting home.

"Sure, let's head back so that we can learn a bit more about each other." Said Diana, to which everyone nodded. Naruto had no problem telling them a bit more about himself, though there was obviously things he would leave out.

He would also need to begin planning on how he was going to get back home. He was in a new world, and maybe there was something in it that could help him, he'd just have to do his best to try and find it if there was something.

"I wonder what the future holds for me?" Thought the blond to himself as he began following the family back to their home. He just hoped that he could solve his problem quickly.

xxXXxx

It has been three months since Naruto had woken up in this new world, and he was still no closer to finding a way back home. He had made thousands of clones over the months to scour the world, along with himself joining them from time to time, but he had yet to come up with anything.

He sighed as he was returning to Willow Island after another failed attempt to find his way home. He had tried the summoning again after Kurama had woke up, and both of their chakra had refilled, but there was no luck.

As Naruto sailed across the sea in his small boat, a skill that Gerald had taught him, he couldn't help but remember how his life had been. He had become quick friends with everyone in town.

They had all been questioned about the golden streak that had shot up into the sky and came back down, but nobody said anything about it, not even Sarah. Naruto was glad that they could at least keep a secret.

He had then integrated himself into the town, and began helping out everyone as best as he could. He had begun doing a lot of work with some of the men around town like fishing and building, which he didn't mind.

He had also made it clear that he would have to leave from time to time, which had earned him the boat he was now on. Since the other members of the town didn't know he could fly, and nobody knew he could walk on water, they had given him it for his travels.

Naruto was thankful for this as it allowed him not to have to waste chakra to get everywhere. Of course he would just seal it away to use one of his faster options when he was in a rush, but right now he was just relaxing.

Before Naruto could get too relaxed he began noticing a large amount of smoke coming from the direction of the island. Getting a bad feeling Naruto jumped out the boat and stood atop the water.

He immediately sealed the boat in a storage scroll and took off in the direction of Willow Island, hoping that everything was okay. All of those hopes were crushed when he got closer and could see the town looked like it had been on fire.

He quickly entered the town to see pure chaos. A lot of people were walking about with numerous injuries, and seemed to be extremely angry for some reason. Naruto ran up to an older woman, Shelia was her name. "What the hell happened here?" He asked her hoping for answers.

"Slavers! They came in and took a lot of people, and injured everyone who tried to stop them. They were too strong and had guns, there wasn't anything we could do." Said Shelia.

This caused Naruto's eyes to widen. "How long ago was this?" He asked.

"Almost a week ago. Naruto, they also took Sarah and Diana with them." This caused Naruto to frown. Everyone in town knew that Naruto had been staying with the family, so Shelia thought that it was only right that he knew.

"What about Gerald?" Asked Naruto.

"He's still alive, but he's planning a suicide mission to go after the slavers. He would've probably had left already if the bastards hadn't destroyed all of our boats." Replied Shelia.

Naruto, at this moment, decided that it was about time he stopped hiding his abilities. "Gather everyone and tell them to meet me at Gerald's. I have something to say to everyone." Said Naruto.

Shelia didn't know why, but she felt that she should listen to what the boy had to say, so she decided to do what he asked. She nodded as she got up and went to spread the word. Naruto then turned around and headed to the place that had been his home for the last three months.

He quickly entered the partially destroyed home to find Gerald inside frantically talking to himself. Naruto was really sad to see the man like this, but hopefully he'd be able to help.

"Gerald, are you okay?" Asked Naruto as he finally gained the man's attention. It was with this that Naruto saw how battered and bruised the man was. It was obvious he had put up the best fight he could for his family, but it wasn't enough.

Naruto was also mad at himself for not being here. He was sure if he hadn't left then none of this would've happened, but the timing of the abduction was just horrible. They were lucky they had attacked while he wasn't there, but their luck was about to run out.

It was at this point that Gerald ran up to him, finally noticing who he was. "Naruto, I'm glad you're back. You're the only one who can help me save them, so I need you to help me." Pleaded the man.

Naruto could tell he was desperate to save his family, and Naruto couldn't blame him. "Don't worry. We'll try to save your family, but I'm going to need some info first if you have any." Gerald just nodded.

"Sure, what do you need to know?" He asked frantically. He had seen a bit of Naruto's power, so he knew the blond was his best chance to save his family.

"I need to know how much people attacked the town, what weapons they might've used, along with what direction they left in." Gerald thought about it for a second before replying.

"Well they used canons from their ship for the initial attack, then around fifty of them attacked the town with pistols and rifles. After they were done they left headed northeast, but I don't know if they continued in that direction."

Naruto nodded at the info he was given. With his speed, and the normal travel speed of ships, he should be able to catch up with them easily. He just hoped that nothing had happened to anyone that was taken, and they were still safe.

It wasn't long before Naruto heard the sound of a large crowd outside the house. "Let's go. We have a lot of people to try and calm down." Said Naruto as he helped Gerald up and towards the door.

As they opened the door Naruto saw the entire town was here, even those that were injured. "What do you have to say?" Asked one of the men in the crowd. Naruto cleared his throat before he began to speak.

"I heard what happened here while I was away, and I'm truly sorry I wasn't here to help. I can't change what happened, but I can promise you all that I'll do everything in my power to return your loved ones to you." Said the blond.

"And what the hell do you think you can do that all of us together couldn't?" Asked another random voice from the crowd. At hearing this Naruto activated his full Six Paths Sage Mode.

He transformation caused everyone besides Gerald to step back in shock and fear. Before anyone could say anything chakra arms sprang out and gripped on to everyone. Instantly everyone could feel their wounds healing, which halted any fear they might've felt.

"As I'm sure you've all noticed by now, I'm not exactly normal. I have many abilities, and they're all going to be used for me to try and get everyone back. Now, while I can't promise that everyone will be returned, I can promise to do my best to try and get everyone back."

It wasn't long after he had finished speaking that the townspeople reacted. "Please help everyone."

"We believe in you."

"Please do your best."

"We trust you, Naruto."

These were just some of the shouts from the people. Naruto placed a determined look on his face before he started walking towards the northeast part of the island, with everyone following behind him.

As he stopped at the edge of the island he looked across the people who had all placed their faith in him With only a thought Naruto began to float in the air before addressing everyone.

"I'm going to try and find everyone who was taken and bring them back if I can, so I need everyone to stay calm and try to fix up the town. I'll be back as soon as I can." Spoke the blond as he looked over all of the people.

His eyes then landed on Gerald, who was giving him a sad look. Naruto could tell that the man wished that he could come, but understood that he might just slow everything down or cause problems.

So for now he would put his trust in the blond, and hope and pray that his and everyone else's loved ones were returned safely. That was all any of them could really do at this time.

With a final nod to the people Naruto raised himself higher into the air. Then he turned to the last known direction that the slavers had went in, and took off with a loud boom and shockwave following.

As Naruto flew through the air at top speed he was soon contacted by Kurama. "So what's the plan? We go in and smash everything to peaces while saving everyone, or do we go with the more discreet route?" Asked the fox, curiously.

"For now we'll use discretion, since we don't know the conditions that everyone is being held in. After we locate and rescue as much people as we can, then we blow their entire ship to smithereens."

This statement from the blond caused a wicked smirk to appear on Kurama's face. He hadn't been able to let loose in months, so he would enjoy the coming destruction for all it was worth.

After a few more minutes of flying Naruto picked up an abundance of negative emotions, along with feeling the presence of everyone that was taken from the island, except one person.

This realization caused Naruto to quicken his pace. He was glad that he had found mostly everyone, as that was one of the best scenarios in this situation, and that they seemed to be alive, but the one person that he couldn't sense was Sarah.

This made him a bit worried if the little girl that had helped to save his life was now a casualty of this madness, and if she was then these slavers would pay even more than he had originally planned.

It was only a few seconds before Naruto was floating above the ship. He could sense where everyone was on board, and could easily distinguish the slavers from their captives due to how they felt.

He also realized that there were prisoners aboard that weren't from Willow Island, but he'd have to deal with them later. With the ship in sight Naruto began scoping out his targets, and planning his attack.

There were fifteen men and women spread out over the deck, with some keeping watch and others steering the ship. He would have to take them all out at the same time. With that thought Naruto used his signature Shadow Clone Jutsu.

Instantly fifteen other Narutos were in the air, all ready to do what their maker wanted. With a simple nod to his clones they all deactivated their cloaks and descended at the same time, each targeting a different person.

With systematic precision all of the slavers on the deck were taken out, with a clone replacing each one by using the Transformation Jutsu and hiding the original bodies just in case.

After all of the clones were done Naruto silently fell on the deck, having deactivated his cloak since it would be too easy to sense. As his clones all took positions along the deck Naruto entered into the ship.

He didn't know the layout of the ship, but he could tell where everyone was aboard it. Using his sensing capabilities Naruto easily began taking over the ship while using more clones. It wasn't long before a clone came upon a door that had "Captain' written on it, which had one person behind it.

The clone knocked on the door, having already transformed into one of the random slavers he had taken out, and waited for the person to tell him to enter. As he was given permission the clone entered the room and stared at the woman behind the desk.

The woman was at least in her fifties, and had graying hair that used to be black and brown eyes. She was wearing a long gown that was black, something that Naruto didn't really expect to see on this type of ship.

"What the fuck's the problem, Mark. I thought I told you idiots not to disturb me until we were ready to get rid of the rest of our cargo." Barked the woman in annoyance. The clone assumed that Mark was the name of the person whose form he had taken.

"I'm sorry, but we're having some problems with the cargo." He replied. He had only heard Mark talk for a few seconds, and hoped he had copied his voice well enough to not be noticed.

The woman behind the desk gave a frown as she looked at 'Mark'. "Well why don't you idiots just handle it. God, it's like I'm taking care of a bunch of children." Spoke the woman as she got up and exited the office.

The clone quickly made another clone to search the office while he followed the woman to their destination. They walked past several other disguised clones, though the woman didn't seem to notice.

xxXXxx

Meanwhile on another part of the ship the original Naruto had reached where everyone was being held captive. As he entered the room he heard the surprised shouts of the people who knew him, since they were wondering how he had gotten here.

"Is everyone okay?" Asked Naruto, who was happy when he heard mostly positive replies. He was glad that nobody was injured too bad. "That's good to hear. Where's Diana?" Asked the blond.

This question caused everyone to gain saddened looks as they looked towards the back of the cell. Naruto was quick to notice the form of Diana hunched up in the back. He quickly approached the cell and pulled the door off, shocking his spectators.

He then approached Diana and put his hand on her shoulder to get her attention. It was easy to feel she was shaking, and it didn't take Naruto long to realize she was crying. "Diana, are you okay?" He asked the crying woman.

It was at that moment that Diana lunged at him and caught him in a tight hug as she cried into his chest. "T-they took her away f-from me. They s-sold her to that bastard like she was their property." Naruto narrowed his eyes at this.

He didn't know the full story, but he would have to worry about that later. Luckily there was still hope that Sarah was alive, but now he had to find her. "Don't worry I'll go and look for her, but first I'm going to get you all out of here." Spoke Naruto as he noticed a collar around the woman's neck.

He was about to remove the collar before he was stopped by another prisoner, though he wasn't someone Naruto recognized. "Don't try and remove the collar or you'll cause it to detonate." Spoke the man which caused Naruto to pause.

"Are you telling me that these collars are some type of bomb or something?" Asked Naruto cautiously. All he received from the man was a nod. "How do I remove it safely then?" He asked.

"You'll need the key to unlock them, but you should also try and find the remote that also sets off the explosions so that it can't be used." Spoke the same man as before. Naruto took in the information he had just learned.

"What if I try and pick the locks?" Asked the blond. The man seemed to contemplate the option before replying.

"I'm not sure how well that might work since these collars are designed to detonate if anyone tries to tamper with them as well." Naruto just sighed at this since he wasn't willing to take the chance with innocent lives.

Before Naruto could say anything he received a memory from a clone that the captain of this ship was being brought to him by another clone, though she didn't know that. Naruto smiled and hoped that the woman would have what he needed.

It wasn't long before they reached the cargo hold/cells. As they entered the room the form of the original Naruto came into view, to which the woman was surprised to see. "Who the fuck are you, and why are you on my ship?" She asked angrily.

"Who I am isn't important. What you should be worrying about is what I'm going to do with you." Spoke the blond as he turned to face the woman. His gaze caused the woman to flinch back a little before she spoke.

"Take this blond bastard down, guys, but don't mess him up too much. We might be able to get a good price for him if we can find a buyer." She said, though she was surprised when nobody moved to follow her orders.

"All of your crew now belongs to me, so they won't be following you orders anymore Now, let's get to the reason I had you brought here, which is your cargo ." Said the blond as he walked towards the former captain.

"Oh yeah, and why's that? What does my cargo have to do with you?" Asked the woman as she began trying to sneak her hand towards her pocket.

"You made the mistake of attacking the town that I live in, along with taking people I care about. There's also a little girl that I can't seem to find any trace of, and I would like to know what happened to her." Spoke Naruto, while trying to control his anger.

"You're going to have to be more specific. I get a lot of kids come through here, so I'm sure you can forgive me for not remembering them all." It was at this point where Naruto released a controlled burst of killing intent.

"You kidnapped her and her mother from their town around a week ago, and I was told by her mother that you sold her off to someone, mind telling me who?" He asked. It was at this point that the woman was nearly shitting herself, but she still had a trump card.

She quickly reached for her pocket, but to her horror she was grabbed from behind. She had forgotten that 'Mark' was behind her, and he now held her in a suppression hold. Naruto then walked up to her and dug into her pocket to see what she was reaching for.

When he pulled his arm out he was happy to see a remote, which he could easily guess the purpose for. "Thanks for this, now I'm going to need a few more things from you." Naruto said to the now horrified woman.

"W-what do you want?" She asked. This man had snuck aboard her ship and took over her entire crew somehow. She literally had no leverage at the moment, and could only try and stall until she came up with a way to try and escape.

"Well, for starters, where's the keys for the collars?" Asked the blond. Before the woman could answer she got a shock as another copy of the blond walked into the room.

"Hey, boss, I found some things you might like." Spoke the clone as he held up a bunch of keys, along with documents that the captain easily recognized. This was the clone that had been made to search the captain's quarters.

The clone passed the documents to the original and then proceeded towards the captives with the keys to try and free them. As the clone was doing that Naruto began reading through the documents, with the captains fear rising.

Naruto couldn't help but smile as the documents in his hand also included the sales receipt for Sarah, along with who she was sold to. He quickly noticed terms such as Celestial Dragon, Holy Lands along with a few others and a name, Saint Jalmack.

"Do you mind telling me about this, or will I have to force the information I need out of you?" He asked, voice sounding a bit too calm. The woman before him just continued to shiver in fear.

Naruto sighed at this before he approached the still restrained captain. As he reached her he placed his hand over her chest and began focusing. While the people of this world didn't have any chakra they still had another energy.

Naruto would use this energy to connect with her using Ninshu which would allow him to hopefully get the info he needed. After a few minutes of focusing Naruto finally allowed his arm to drop.

He had gotten what he needed from the woman, along with a view into the woman's life. He had seen how she had came from a pretty decent, but poor, family and had felt like she deserved more in life.

She had then decided to capture and sell people for easy money, something she had been doing for over thirty years without a care for her victims. Naruto had also gotten some info on the people who she had sold Sarah to.

It was this knowledge that truly pissed Naruto off. He couldn't believe that people like that were allowed to do as the pleased without any repercussions. He also now knew that the people who had Sarah was the most heavily guarded people on the planet.

While he was traveling around looking for a way home he didn't really pay any attention towards what was going on in the world. As long as it couldn't help him get home he didn't care for it.

He was beginning to regret that choice now since he might've known a bit more about his targets if he had paid attention to the world around him more. He sighed as he now knew where he had to go to hopefully get Sarah back, though now he knew that it wouldn't be easy.

He then turned around and headed back towards Diana and the rest of the captives. He found her with her collar now removed, but she still looked distressed. "I've found some info on Sarah, and I have an idea of where I can go to get her back."

This statement instantly caught her attention as she looked up at him with hope in her eyes. "Really, there's a chance that you can get her back?" She asked to which Naruto nodded with a smile on his face.

"With what I just found out there's a good chance that I can get her back, but first I'll need to get you all out of here and back home." He could see the hesitance in the woman's demeanor, so he decided to reassure her a bit more. "Diana, I promise you that I'll do everything in my power to bring her back to you and Gerald, okay."

Diana looked at him and could see the determination he held for this. She knew a bit about his abilities, and also knew that if there was anyone who would be able to save her daughter it would be him.

"With that she nodded as Naruto helped her to stand. "Alright, everyone, it's time to get out of here." He said to all of the now free former captives. He received a loud cheer from them as he led them back to the deck of the ship.

He was met with the other clone who had looted everything of value from the ship, with all of the rest having dispelled already. The clone then began to share the loot with everyone who had been held captive so that they could at least have something to support them when they reached back home.

Naruto then proceeded to help everyone onto the lifeboats which there was a lot since the crew was large. He then went ahead and made ten more clones to escort everyone back to their homes, since he had someplace else to be.

"Naruto, please get my baby back." Pleaded Diana as she was lowered in one of the lifeboats along with a few others from Willow Island. Naruto gave the woman a nod, which she returned with one of her own.

"We're going to need you all to hold on tight." Said one of the escort clones. Once everyone was holding on securely the clone made a single hand-sign. Instantly the water surged and carried all of the lifeboats away with surprising speeds.

Naruto stood on the deck and watched until he couldn't see any of the boats any more. "So, what now?" Asked the voice of Kurama.

"Now we go and pay a visit to some unruly wannabe gods." Spoke Naruto, which gained a smirk from the fox. He then activated his Six Paths Mode again and began floating in the air. "I also promised you that we'd blow this ship to smithereens."

With that Naruto formed a Rasenshuriken in his hand. The entire slaver crew was now locked up in the cells they had once used for their prisoners. Naruto had seen the type of people they were, and felt no guilt about what he was going to do.

With that he flung his technique towards the ship. Instantly the entire thing was covered in an explosion which left nothing of the ship or its crew afterwards. Seeing his work done for now Naruto turned and began heading in the direction of the supposed Holy Lands.

xxXXxx

Alright I decided to end the chapter here since it would've been over 20,000 words otherwise, and I'm not sure how you guys would feel about a chapter being that long. The next chapter will show how Naruto handles the wannabe gods, along with a few other things.

Also I know that you guys might think that Naruto gave out too much info, but there was no way that I could see for him to explain how he did what he did without people thinking he used help or something.

Also any mention from Naruto of him being from another world or chakra and stuff like that were not in the story, but just put there for you the readers to get the full picture. Everyone thinks that Naruto is from this world and had Devil Fruit abilities, just lost from home.

So now that this is out of the way please read, review, and enjoy.
