Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or One Piece or this would be a manga, not a fanfiction.

So…yeah I did a rewrite of my work here, wanted to fix a few plot points and some grammar issues here and there.

So yeah, on with the chapter:

"Summoning Jutsu!"

The shout echoed throughout the chasm as a cloud of smoke erupted from under the outstretched hand of the boy who had shouted them. From this cloud appeared a creature of massive size, its figure obscured by the smoke but the shadow it cast upon the cloud itself was intimidating in itself. Webbed feet shot out from the cloud and slammed into the wall, crushing the rocks sticking out into gravel.

The orange-clad blond that had called the creature forth fell onto a cloth covered back and moved to see what it was. When the smoke cleared the monster in all its glory was exposed. The boy found himself sitting on the back of a massive toad with skin colored a rusted red with brighter red stripes. Running vertically down the left side of his face and over the bright yellow eye that sat there, was a deep scar. Clenched between its lips was a kiseru and he wore a blue happy coat. At his waist hung a tanto about fifty times the summoner's height in blade length alone.

"What the hell is this?" a deep rumbling voice blasted from the toad. "Where am I?"

The boy, the ever-infamous Naruto Uzumaki, was frozen in shock. 'I...it worked,' he thought. 'I actually managed to summon one.'

Naruto was on the verge of dancing for joy, but the toad had other plans. "JIRAIYA! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU? WHAT IS THE MEENING OF SUMMONING ME HERE?"

With the pervert who is currently at the top of the gorge...

"Crap," said pervert whispered, backing up from the edge, and disappearing into the forest behind him. "I never thought he'd summon him of all the toads. You really know how to cause trouble don't yah kid?"

Back down in the gorge –

"Hey gaki," Naruto jerked to attention for a moment, startled that he was being called out.

"Where's Jiraiya? Why has he summoned me?"

"Uh..who's Jiraiya?"

"Do not play dumb with me gaki, where is that infernal brat that so stupidly refers to himself as the Toad Sage?"

Naruto scratched his head. "Well I don't know his name, but I think you're talking about the Pervy-sage."

The toad's eyes narrowed at the blonde's words. "Oh really? Well I have a few things to discuss with that pervert. He's got a lot of gall to summon me to such a place."

Naruto frowned. "Actually, I'm the one that summoned you," he said, cutting off the giant amphibian before he could go on a rant. The red-skinned beast stared at the orange-clad blond for several moments, then his eyes closed and he began to shake. Thinking something was wrong Naruto was about to speak, only for the toad to burst into roaring laughter.

"G-good one gaki," he said. "I haven't laughed that hard in years! There's no way a scrawny little runt like you could possibly the chief of the toads. You'd die from chakra exhaustion."

Naruto scowled and was about to give a rather rude comment on his part, but a little voice in his head interrupted him. 'Say what you're thinking and I'll make your life hell.'

'Kyuubi?' the blond asked.

'No it's the other voice in your head, OF COURSE IT'S ME YOU MORON!'

'What do you want?'

'You're not even gonna asked how I pulled this off?'

'Nah, figured you'd get all high and mighty and brag about it anyway.'

'…...'

'I was right wasn't I?'

'Shut up, and I used the pulse of my chakra to forge a connection between our minds. Now on to more important matters...do not insult this guy. Do you know who you're standing on right now?'

'No.'

'I figured. Listen that is Gamabunta, chief of the Toad Tribe. He was capable of temporarily immobilizing me during my attack on your village. This is the most powerful of the toads you can summon and it'd be a good idea to be polite...keep in mind we're still hanging in a gorge with his help.'

'Good point.' Naruto sighed and turned his eyes back to the now identified Gamabunta, who was sending him a heated glare for ignoring him. "Look, I'm a special case. Trust me, I've got the chakra to summon you, my name's Naruto Uzumaki, and it's nice to meet you Toad Boss Gamabunta."

"So Jiraiya told you about me," the toad mused, only for Naruto to shake his head.

"No, I heard from a different source," he answered, subconsciously rubbing the area where his seal was. Gamabunta's eyes narrowed at the motion.

"You said your name was Naruto Uzumaki? Interesting, so I'm guessing that pervert had you sign our contract. Well, just because you summoned me doesn't mean you're clear to call us out whenever you want."

"What do you mean?" Naruto asked, sitting down on the toad's nose.

"I have to test whether or not you're worth our time. If not then I'll take your name off the contract."

"What's the test?"

"You have to stay on top of my head until sunset. Now hold on, I'll take us up to the top so we can start."

Naruto nodded and jumped up to hold onto the collar of Gamabunta's jacket. The boss toad grunted as he bunched up the muscles in his powerful legs. It was then that Naruto looked down and something caught his eye. "Hey, boss."

"What is it?"

"There's something down there."

"Where?"

"At the bottom, look down you should be able to see something, it looks like some sort of building."

Listening to his summoner's request the giant amphibian looked down and saw something he could not, for the life of him, understand how it had gotten there. "Why on earth would a brig sloop be here," he muttered. 'This could be interesting,' he thought. "Gaki. Hold on, we'll be postponing our test until later. We should check this out."

"What do yo-" Naruto started to ask but ended up screaming when Gamabunta let go of the walls and sent them crashing into the ground. "WHAT THE HELL CHIEF?"

"Calm down, don't get your underwear in a bind," he growled. "This might be interesting to see what's inside that thing. Listen gaki, I'm obviously too small to get in there so you have to hop down. I'll stay here but since it's better to have a bit of backup, so I want you to try to summon another of my kin."

"I thought you had to test me first."

"At least you have some sense of honor for a bargain," Gamabunta chuckled, he was starting to like this blond brat. "Think you got enough chakra left to summon another toad?"

'Kyuubi?'

'I'll give you a little more,' the fox grumbled. 'Just be sure to give that stupid sage a kick to the nuts after we're done.'

Naruto just chuckled as he felt the demon's powerful chakra course through him once again. 'I was planning to do that anyway.' "I think I can pull off another one."

"Good, perform the jutsu, but when you call out its name, also call out the name Gama. He's a little larger than you and should be able to easily maneuver the ship with you."

Naruto nodded and bit his thumb. He waited a moment for the blood to well up on the tip of the appendage before beginning the short chain of handsigns and slamming his palm onto the top of Gamabunta's head. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Gama!"

A familiar burst of smoke later and Naruto found himself sitting on top of the very first toad he had ever seen the Pervy-sage summon when he knocked out that closest pervert Kakashi had asked to train him.

"Greetings Naruto-san," the toad said cheerfully. "How can I help you?"

"Spare the small talk for later Gama," the chief toad grumbled. "Go with the gaki and keep an eye on him while he's taking a look at this little boat."

Gama nodded and turned to the human that had summoned him. "Naruto-san, climb onto my back. I can jump to the deck of the ship quite easily from here."

Naruto smiled but shook his head. "Sorry Gama, but I'm not an official toad summoner yet. The chief got curious about this before he could test me so we haven't gotten that far. I think I can ride on top of any toad, I should pass the test first."

The two amphibians were stunned at the blonde's words. To take the difficult route simply over a formality like the test is something they hadn't seen in a long time. 'This kid gets more interesting the longer you're around him,' Gamabunta thought to himself. "Alright gaki, since you're so bent on sticking to the guidelines I'll make you a road to the ship."

The giant toad opened his mouth and out shot a long pink tongue that stretched all the way to from his mouth to the deck of the ship. "Thanks Chief Toad," the blond said, jumping on top of the pink muscle and running down it as fast as he could, Gama right beside him. They reached the deck in seconds and Gamabunta withdrew his tongue. "You two be careful, I'll wait out here until you come back out. Be quick about it."

The two nodded before walking to the door leading to the lower decks. Naruto placed a hand on Gama's shoulder to stop him. "Wait a sec, for all we know this thing could be booby-trapped."

"You're actually pretty smart Naruto-san," the toad mused.

Naruto smiled sheepishly. "Actually, the things is I've been pranking for years so I kind of got paranoid about traps. With everything I pulled back then it's probably expected."

Gama shrugged, experience is one of the best teachers as the saying goes, but he put it out of his mind and turned his thoughts to more relevant matters. "Then how do you propose we go about this?"

Naruto grinned and made the sign of his personal (and almost his only) technique. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Five poofs of smoke later and there stood six orange-clad blonds in place of the original one. One stepped back and addressed his creations. "Alright guys, you know what to do."

The clones nodded and stepped up to the door while the original and Gama stepped back. One clone grabbed the handle and pulled, only for the entire door to come off its hinges and almost crush it, only for the others to save it from an early demise. The thick slab of wood was tossed aside and the clones filed in one at a time, leaving Naruto and Gama at the doorway.

"Naruto-san, what is the plan?"

"I made the clones with the idea that each one will pick a deck and explore, if there aren't five decks then they'd just help on another one. Then they can come back and tell us what they found."

'Tell us? Does he not know about the advantage of the Kage Bunshin?' both Gama and the chief toad, who had been listening in, wondered.

"Well, we better relax while we can," Naruto said, sitting down on the deck of the ship and leaning against the wall. With a satisfied sigh he turned his gaze to sky, so far above them now. The sun was shining down into the gorge, but they were so far down that all they saw was a dim glow, making it look like early morning.

It was quiet in the gorge, only the sound of Gamabunta's heavy breathing broke the silence that had begun to lull our blond hero into a state of content. Soon his eyes grew w heavy and he begun to slump over...only to snap awake and jump to his feet when an image of a large room appeared in his mind. 'What was that?' he asked, directing the question to his tenant.

'That, my young idiot of a host, was the memories of your bunshin coming back to you after dispelling.'

'Wait what?'

The Kyuubi heaved a heavy sigh at his host's stupidity. 'The memories of a Kage Bunshin return to their creator when the dispel. The reason you've failed to notice this little bit of information is because you use them in battle to become a one-man army so you integrate only little pieces of knowledge before they're dispelled and you're constantly having to change your position anyway so it's pointless to use like that.'

'…...Oh.'

'Just shut up, your clone found something and then tripped because it wasn't paying attention. I know what route it was so get your butt moving and I'll guide you down there ok?'

Naruto just nodded before turning to the toad at his side. "One of my clones found something interesting, I think we should take a look."

"Do you know the way?" Gama asked.

Naruto smirked and poked his temple with his left hand. "Got the route right here."

'No thanks to any effort on your half by the way.'

'Shut up.'

'Make me.'

Naruto just sighed and stepped through the doorway into the hull of the ship. At the bottom of the steps he turned left then down another flight of steps. This happened twice more before the fox told him to take a right and then left again. When he turned the final corner, he found himself staring into a dark room. Cracks in the wall allowed a minimal light to pass through, revealing the outlines of nine tables inside.

Naruto moved to step inside, but stopped when Gama held an arm out in front of him, baring passage through the doorway. "Wait, Naruto-san. It's too dark." The toad turned around and picked up a large piece of wood and a piece of torn fabric, most likely a piece of sail canvas. He wrapped the canvas around one end of the block and stuck it in his mouth. When he drew it back out the canvas was dripping with a black liquid. "By any chance, do you have something to make a fire," he asked his companion, who simply nodded and pulled out a small sealing scroll, from which he took some flint and steel. "Good, light this please."

In moments, Gama was holding a flaming torch that cast a harsh orange light and illuminated the room. Now able to see clearly, the duo stepped forward. They discovered the nine tables they had seen earlier were set like a clock face around a lone podium standing in the center. Atop this podium sat a leather-bound book with the symbol of a straw hat embroidered onto the front.

Naruto glanced at his companion and pointed at the book. The amphibian nodded and they both cautiously stepped closer. The blonde's fingertips brushed against the worn leather of the cover, he could practically feel the care of the person who had owned it, even after so long and under a thick coating of dust the boy could tell the binding was in good condition. Well-oiled and flexible.

Finished admiring he opened the book to find a mostly blank page, save for some writing in the very middle.

'Property of Nami, Cat Burglar, and Navigator of the Straw Hat Pirates'

The blonde-haired genin gasped. Pirates, so far inland and he had found a ship that belonged to pirates...how cool was that? He excitedly turned the next page and began to read, aloud of course for the benefit of Gama.

'If you are reading this then it means somebody finally found our last treasure. Well, congrats whoever you are because you now own everything here. There is a document in the book, sign it and everything should legally belong to you, now I already wrote my name on the first page but I'm Nami, the greatest cat burglar in all of the Grand Line and wife to the Pirate King, Straw-hat Luffy.

Inside this room you should find nine tables, eight of these hold the most treasured possessions of our crew, you can use them or give them away, whatever you wish. However, the ninth table only has a small chest and a book. This one is meant for the founder of this book alone. My dear, scatterbrained husband told me that only someone with the will to be the greatest and a pure heart could find our ship. (He said it had to do with the Will of the Pirate King or something like that, I have no idea but I think it's explained in his scroll, hope you can read it)

This last item is a piece of fruit, but it's a very special fruit. This fruit will never spoil and, should it be eaten, bestow incredible power upon the devourer of this fruit. There is a weakness, you will lose the ability to swim and water will leave you weak and barely able to mover. This particular fruit was used by a friend of ours who helped us in a time of need. He has written the instructions on how to use the abilities of the fruit, which he said was called the Ope Ope no Mi, in that book so be sure to study that thing.

Well, that's all for this note, the rest of this book is my log of the adventures our crew went on together so be sure to read that, especially if you need a good laugh cus we went absolutely nuts a few times.

Take care and use our legacy well,

Nami.'

Naruto paused at the sound of sniffling behind him. He turned to find Gama wiping a tear from his eye. "Forgive me Naruto-san," the toad said. "I was just moved by the woman's written words. To hold so much trust in the future to leave such treasures behind, it is truly inspirational."

'Oh Kami give me a break,' Naruto heard the Kyuubi say inside his mind. 'This frog is actually crying like he just watched a soap opera!'

'A what?'

'Never mind kit. Trust me, you don't want to know.' The fox let felt an involuntary shiver go down his spine at the memory of how sickeningly emotional those programs could be. It made him want to vomit.

Naruto just assured his companion it was okay to find such words moving and then turned the page to find the will this person Nami had mentioned.

Whosoever finds this...the ship and all our stuff is yours so sign on the line at the bottom and it's done.

The blond sweatdropped at the blunt wording of the letter. "Well, it's something." He pulled out an inkpot and a brush and wrote his name on the line labeled 'Benefactor'.

"Congratulations on obtaining your new property Naruto-san," Gama said. "Might I suggest your first matter of business be to decide what to do with that fruit the lady mentioned in the note?"

Naruto nodded and looked to the table directly to his right. Just like it said in Nami's note, the table was only burdened with a small chest and a book next to it. They, like the room, were mysteriously free of dust or cobwebs and the cloth covering the table was pristine and looked like it had just been put there.

Deciding to read the book first, Naruto grabbed the leather-bound tome and opened its yellowed pages to find yet another note, this one in neat handwriting like the writer was some sort of sophisticated individual.

'To the individual who discovers this ship and the contents therein, congratulations, my name is Trafalgar Law, captain and surgeon of the Heart Pirates.

By now you must have read Nami's note and signed her little document so you are the newest owner of the Thousand Sunny and the contents of this room. Within this room lies the most valued treasures of one of the greatest crews to ever sail the Grand Line and beyond. Some have also left their teachings behind in hopes that one day someone will come along and seek to follow their path in life. I am one such person.

In the small chest beside this book, you will find a small, odd-looking fruit. This fruit is called the Ope Ope no Mi and if Nami included the last bit I asked her to then you know about the weakness involved with eating such a fruit. Well, let me tell you the powers of this fruit.

When someone eats the Ope Ope no Mi, it allows its user to create a spherical space or "room", where the user has complete control over the placement and orientation of the objects inside, thus making them a Kaizo Jizai Ningen (Free Modification Human).

In case you are more like my friend Luffy, a simple way to put this would be to say that the space you create is like an operating room, and you are the surgeon. In essence, you can control everything in that space. You'll understand more as you practice, should you choose to eat it.

Well, I have little else to say. Luffy has assured me that only someone with a true spirit of the king would find this vessel and since he is a master of Haki I shall defer to his judgment on the matter. He has proven himself reliable when the time calls for it so now the choice is yours. Eat the fruit or not, in the end the choice is yours.

Good luck to you in whatever path you choose,

Trafalgar Law.

When Naruto finished the note, his gaze turned to the small chest next to the book. Driven by curiosity, the blonde placed his hand on the lid. He hesitated there, slightly nervous over what he would see, finally, he carefully moved the latch with his thumb and lifted the lid.

Placed on a cushion of red velvet was a pale blue fruit that resembled a grape fruit. From the base of the stem, a single swirl was etched into the skin of the fruit and wound its way down to the tip at the bottom.

"What will you do Naruto-san?" Gama asked, eyes focused on the fruit and his summoner. "Will you eat it?"

Naruto frowned in thought as he examined the fruit. Finally he sighed and shook his head. "Not yet," he said. "I'll talk to Ero-sennin about it later and see what he thinks."

"GAKI! What's taking so long?" The voice of the chief toad shook the whole ship. Naruto jumped and pulled out two empty sealing scrolls. Without a moment's thought he sealed the contents of the room into the scrolls, each table went into a different spot on the scroll in order to keep it organized. Once the room was empty, shinobi and summon returned to the deck to find Gamabunta glaring at them. "It's about time. We've got around three hours until the sun goes down gaki, if you want to do our test today then we best get up to the top."

Naruto nodded and jumped up to the top of the chief's head, Gama waved to the genin, bowed to his chief and returned to the home of the toads. Gamabunta crouched down, preparing to jump up. "So, what'd you find?"

"I'll tell you when we're done."

The toad chuckled. "Well then, we'd best get started!" With a tremendous burst of strength, the chief sent them both hurtling to the top of the gorge, easily clearing the top and crushing quite a few trees in the process of landing. "Remember gaki, you gotta stay on top of my head till the sun goes down or you won't be our summoner."

"I got it, now BRING IT!"

"AS YOU WISH!"

Some hours later, Jiraiya sat perched atop a cliff sipping from a saucer of sake as he watched the sunset. He glanced to his side to see Naruto sleeping peacefully next to him, the Toad Summoning Contract under his head like a makeshift pillow. "So what do you think chief?" he asked, turning to face Gamabunta. "Does he pass?"

The chief of the toad clan sipped from his own giant saucer, grinning as he stared at the unconscious blonde. "He is a worthy summoner, just like his father was. Now what about what Gama said?"

Jiraiya had summoned Gama only a few minutes before to hear about what had happened inside the ship at the bottom of the gorge. It was safe to say that the man was intrigued.

"Well, I'll have to take a look at this stuff, I'll take care of that when the kid wakes up. We'll talk about that fruit he found too. The first month is almost over so the boy has thirty days left before the exams."

"A sixty day period? That's odd."

"Yeah, apparently the fighters are from all over so it's taking a little longer than usual for the guests of honor to arrive. A notice was sent out about a week ago saying the waiting time had been doubled."

"Just means you got more time to get some training done," Gamabunta said, taking another sip from his cup. "Well, I had best return, have the boy summon my two sons. They could do well with a little time in the human world."

"I will, see you soon old friend."

"Be well Jiraiya, and drop by the mountain some time. Ma and Pa would love to have you over for dinner again some time."

The chief toad disappeared in an explosion of smoke, leaving only his footprints and the destroyed landscape as the only evidence he was ever there. Jiraiya finished his saucer of sake and picked up his new apprentice. "I guess I better set up a tent," he mumbled. "Sleep well Naruto, because as soon as you're awake tomorrow we start the serious training."

AND CUT!

Okay, so I decided to rewrite this a bit, didn't like the way I'd written a few things so I fixed them. It's nothing really big so some might not even notice it. I'll be updating soon.

Until then, yurei king signing out.
