Prologue
A long time ago, an escaped slave managed to steal from the gods. The treasure he stole, was like none other, it was not made of gold or silver, instead provided the man with unrivaled power.
Once returning from the realm of the gods, he traveled back to the place of his torment reeking havoc with his newfound power.
The man composed his pirate crew of the escaped slaves, he had freed that night. Forming the most powerful pirate crew in existence, who collected a fabulous amount of treasure.
Then on a night of a full moon, without warning, the man single handedly destroyed the most powerful kingdom to exist. Slaughtering everyone and anything in his path, leaving no survivors.
The destruction of the great kingdom was his last display of the ultimate power. Before he sealed it away, never telling a soul, where he hid it. Only leaving the essentials to find the treasure to his crew. Anyone else who searched for this godly power, would have wasted their entire lives for nothing. Since, without the map, finding the treasure was a lost cause.
Regardless of this many searched, sending large fleets in exploration for the treasure. None ever finding it, most of the explorers giving up hope, and now a mere story in the ears of sailors.
Yet, the treasure still remains untouched and ready to be claimed.
Chapter 1: Reprimanding
The deep blue sea, clear sky, and favorable winds made it a perfect day to sail. The beauty of the day, could only be compared to Kririn- the most magnificent ship to ever sail the seas. It was said that the beauty of the ship came from the materials, because she was made from the best materials in the entire world. No other ship owned by the navy or any pirate could compare to her speed or elegance. Even the crew was a sight to see, most of the men incredibly attractive as they rushed through their daily duties.
"Alright! Ship in youthful view! All my youthful comrades on deck to await the captain's orders!" Yelled a highly enthusiastic sailor of the fine ship. He was pumping with glee that only his thick eyebrows could measure. Swinging down onto the deck, from the crow's nest. He accompanied the rest of his fellow crew members in line, all straightening themselves up, waiting for the captain to emerge from his quarters.
As everyone became silent, the conversation inside the captain's quarter became audible, along with all the crashing and banging. Everyone tried to look somewhere else, pretending they couldn't listen. It would be a problem if the captain believed his whole crew was composed of eavesdropping, nosy, gossiping ninnies. Then again, it was hard to ignore what was happening, being as how loud the two brothers were being.
"Stop acting like a child, it's your fault." A calm voice said, if not for the volume, it would have seemed that the two were conversing peacefully.
"How is it my fault. It's the crews' so don't try to defend them." The Captain shouted. "It should have been obvious that I expected someone to pick it up."
The whole crew flinched at the sound of something smashing. If any of them had to guess, it came from a vase being thrown at the peaceful sounding man's head.
"It wasn't obvious, little brother. You gave them a direct order, not to touch your sword. They won't disobey an order, on a simple hunch. You have to tell them when the rules apply and when they don't." The man yelled his cool composure flying out the window. Hearing that the peaceful man had not kicked the bucket, the crew released the breath they were holding. The vase had clearly missed its target, or the captain's target just had a very thick skull. "And furthermore it's your own fault for dropping it in the first place." The other continued, wanting to rub in his victory. There was not another smash, only silence proceeded, the battle clearly over.
As the doors opened, everyone stood in ovation to the only one that could ever win an argument against the captain. A tall peach skinned man with long black hair tied loosely in a ponytail, his bangs framing his face perfectly. The look in his onyx eyes was exactly like his voice, calm and collected. His face appeared to be sculpted, the line on each side of his face doing nothing to obscure his elegance.
The usual stern face had a slight curve on his lips expressing the twinge of happiness in him, along with the pride for wining the verbal battle against the captain. Even if he had gained a battle wound, a red mark on his forehead.
The captain stepped next to the taller man. The brotherly resemblance clearly visible. Unlike the other man, this one had his hair spiked up from the back. Resembling what the crew could only describe as a duck butt, but if one didn't want a vase thrown at them, it should be kept to themselves. A funny thing about the captain's weird hairdo was that it suited him.
The crew used to not know how he had made it stand in such way, until one day the curiosity became too much. They boozed him up for a confession, and discovered his hair naturally stood in such an odd way. Although, his hat would usually be situated on his head, no one mentioned the missing artifact.
Along with his original hairstyle was his bang framed face. His face was gorgeous, it wasn't a huge mystery why woman threw themselves to him. Even if he showed little to no emotion, to any woman he had ever met. The lack of facial expression not changing the fact, that he was still by far the most handsome captain sailing the ocean.
There was an intake of breath between the crew members as the captain approached them, surveying them. If they didn't want their drinking privileges revoked, they knew they had to be on their best behavior.
"Impeccable day is it not?" The captain began, looking up at the sky. "I wonder when we'll get to see another day like this, it probably won't be soon so take advantage of this one" The captain said, watching as they all nodded their heads viciously. They were all very excited for what was to come, they had been waiting all day, just a few more moment they thought.
The captain continued pacing down the line of crew members, looking them all in the eye. "We are about to disembark on our fellow sailor's poor excuse of a ship and I want you all to reprimand them. They are to be taught a lesson for taking, what we've already taken. Don't you all agree?" The crew shouted their approval.
The captain stoped pacing in front of them, looking at the ship in sight, pointing an accusing finger towards it. "That ship contains the confiscated pirate items being sent to King Danzo. My sword is on that ship and I refuse to let that son of a biscuit eater touch my belongings." His face reddening with anger, he let out a deep breath looking back at his crew with a smirk. "Isn't it wonderful that the ship, and my sword will never reach him." There was one last boisterous scream, before the crew dispersed, scrambling to their designated positions.
Sasuke gave his orders flawlessly. Making sure that everyone was used to full potential. Anyone who had not listened to the orders. Would have never expected that the chaos about to unfold, was perfectly planned.
"Deploy the spikes" The captain ordered and it was done, spikes emerging out of the sides of Kririn. Effectively hooking onto the other ship, preventing it from sailing away, no matter how hard the crew were to try. As the crew came rushing out onto the deck, he took a few moments to look at their shocked expressions, enjoying the effect he had on people.
"Go on Gentlemen. Take what you want, as much as you want." The captain yelled. His crew cheered and swung to the Royal Navy's ship, starting a full on raid. Everyone confident that this platoon of the royal navy would be easy to steal from, they were after all low ranking delivery boys.
The only strength that this section of Royal Navy had was strength in numbers. Other than that they had really diminished the strength of the individual, on orders of the king. He didn't want anyone to overthrow, so he kept them weak. Which in these situations, the royal soldiers had no chance to win against them, it was pathetic to even see them try.
It was the opposite of the crew sailing on the Kririn, who had all learned how to fend for themselves and contribute to the strength of the crew. The captain instead of suppressing the individual's strength, he encouraged it. If they did not sharpen their own individual skills then they would just become a burden, and effectively be kicked out.
The raven couldn't help but chuckle to himself at the Navy's incapability to stand for themselves. His men were playing around with them throwing them overboard, hanging them upside down or simply pulling down their pants, it was hilarious.
"Honestly, they should know better, than to take from us pirates. Don't you agree, Sasuke? They can hardly fight, and the ones that do have no talent to do it properly" Sasuke looked up to see his caretaker sitting peacefully on the mast, book in hand like always. "Couldn't agree more but stupid people will make stupid decisions, Kakashi. It's just in their nature to do so" Sasuke responded without removing his gaze from the fair skinned, fit man.
If people believed that Sasuke's duck butt hairdo was odd. Kakahi's gravity defying white hair was crazy. Especially since he seemed too young to even have white hair. A silence engulfed the two, the lack of response from his mentor the instigator. Kakashi too entranced by his perverted book to continue the conversation, so Sasuke walked away.
He swung to the navy's ship. Walking peacefully across the chaos. There was a lot of screaming and cursing going around, yet he walked straight past it. Ignoring the fighting around him, that consisted of different number of people, from one vs one to one vs ten.
A slight smirk adorning his face. He was glad that his crew was burning off some of their energy. If they wouldn't, then he have would have dealt with all the complaining, later on. Along with them, fighting amongst themselves, or pranking one another. At least now when they got on the ship they will be too tired to do anything, so he could have a relaxing day. Reaching the door, he saw that it was locked, just when he was about to kick it open a body flew towards it smashing it open. "There you go, Captain." Someone yelled, a wave of his hand, the simple gratitude.
Once he entered the captain's quarter, he started the search for his sword. He looked around the room, and the valuables in there, they had the most priceless treasures in this little room to have them secured. He was sure his sword would be here.
As he walked over the body, and through the room he found little things like compasses, golden jewels, and hats. His eyes locking onto a particular marron hat on top of a skull. His hand shooting up to touch the top of his head. Immediately noticing that he was missing something. His blood boiling over, as a stream of curses filled the room. How could he have not noticed that his hat was missing, he thought. There was hell about to be unleashed when they got back to the ship, no one even bothered to mention his missing hat.
The raven managed to cool down after he reached a suitable punishment, for the neglecting of his captain hat. He made his way towards the desk, on which he noticed his sword on top of. Upon closer inspection, he noticed only two other things next to his sword, a letter and a chest. Curriosity getting the best of him he opened the letter.
The letter was addressed to:
His Majesty
The King of the Hidden Root Kingdom
He looked at paper it had some ink splotches here and there, from the tipped over ink cartilage, but some of it was still legible.
Your Majesty, I am writing to confirm the mission a success. My crew and I have obtained the chest...notorious pirate Orochimaru. The great pirate was of course...no... for my soldiers, and will ...be of no...…for us. I would... to congratulate you, my king. For obtaining the key for such a great treasure. ... the greatest pirate treasure...the treasure of legends. Shall...you...the most powerful king on the face of the planet. Although I hope ...some consideration for my position. I did obtain the map for such a treasure. I inquire if... be permitted to serve in a higher rank...
Sasuke stared at the letter for a moment and smirked. This was quite promising if they were referring to the great treasure, he would go down in history. He had always heard stories of this treasure as a young boy, and now it was his chance to find it. "The greatest pirate treasure." he said lowly to himself. "Should remain in the hands of a pirate." He grabbed the chest and the letter, exiting to the deck.
When he reached the deck, he saw the entire navy crew tied up to the mast, struggling to get away from his men who were mooning them. Ignoring his crews usual torture antics, Sasuke looked down at the letter in his hand. He assumed that most of the things in the letter was an utter lie. There was no way that the imbeciles tied up, had managed to cross paths with Orochimaru and survived. They could hardly put up a fight against his men, and his crew was only playing with them. It was clear that the writer of the letter, had wanted to suck up to King Danzo for a promotion. So of course the bastard was going to lie, all he had to do was confirm the rest of the things on the letter. He was really hopefully that the part of the treasure wasn't a lie.
He took a moment to examine the small chest in his hand, noticing no key hole or anything other than a spiral engraving, upon the top of it. The same type of mark his sword had on its handle. He searched through his crew member from those giving the soldiers wet willies, to purple nurple, and just taking their clothes. Looking for his smartest crew member Shikamaru. He knew that the man would probably be able to figure out, this mystery. Not surprisingly, Shikamaru wasn't on the ship raiding or taking anything, he guessed the lazy-ass was sleeping, Shikamaru might be the smartest but he was also the laziest.
His attention moved to one of his crew members, who ran between the two ships loading priceless treasures. He had messy brown hair and sharp black eyes concentrated at the task on hand. The young man's most distinct factor being the red fang markings on each side of his cheek. Running along with him was his ever loyal dog Akamaru. Akamaru was a huge white dog with brown patches of fur on his ears. A simple whistle, and Sasuke managed to call them both over.
"Kiba, tell everyone we're postponing our return to Kohona." The captain told the young man who up close seemed more animalistic. "Where are we going captain?" Kiba asked, he might have been the only stupid one in the entire crew to question the captain, but his stupidity was something that Sasuke surprisingly found amusing. That along with the fact that he had gotten used to Kiba's idiotic ways as children.
"Hidden Root Village." Sasuke answered smirking at Kiba's baffled reaction.
"Yes because it's completely sane to just prance in there with no reason to why we're risking our necks." Kiba responded sarcasticly, seeing the smirk slowly being replaced by a scowl, he decided to change his tactic. "It's not possible to take them by surprise, Captain. They're always on guard." Kiba continued, flailing his arms around to try to keep Sasuke calm."So if you could be so kind to enlighten me." Kiba finished cautiously.
"Nope, i dont feel like repeating it more than once, so you'll just have to wait. I will be announcing my plan, once everyone is on board Kririn. Meanwhile do as you are told and tell everyone we're leaving." Sasuke finished and turned to leave but Kiba flipped him around, a look of confusion plastered on his face. "So which one do you want?" Kiba asked. "For me to tell them that we're not heading back or that we're leaving."
Sasuke stared at Kiba blankly. Behind his stoic mask he wondered if it would be possible to beat the stupidness out of him. Sighing in annoyance Sasuke decided against it, he would have to beat Kiba to death to make sure it was all gone, and losing a member at the moment wasn't part of the plan.
Hope you enjoyed it.
