Ninja Turned Pirate!
Chapter 1: Return of the Dragon!
Summary: Shen disappeared from the eyes of an ANBU unit four years ago. After leaving the Akatsuki, Shen simply disappeared from the face of the Ninja Lands! But what they didn't know, was a another type of world living beyond the boundaries of the Ninja Lands! Crossover with Pirates of the Caribbean. Shen is twenty two years old. I change the years from two to four, makes more sense that way.
The calm waves were washing against the docks of The Village Hidden in the Mist. Out on the sea, there was a ship coming in, and on top of the sails was a man about in his twenties standing on the wooden post that the sail hung from.
He had a black coat and on the left shoulder was a design of a dragon, a sword on his belt, but it wasn't a katana, it was a thin sword that many sailors used in the vast seas to the east of the ninja countries, a black vest under his coat, and white shirt under his vest, black pants along with black boots and also on his belt, he had two weapons called a matchlock pistols, a type of weapon that was foreign to the Ninja Lands, and a triangle hat. (Watch Pirates of the Carribean)
He was looking at the Village with a smirk. "Oi! Ya lazy bum! Get down here and help us!" shouted one of the sailors. The man looked down and grabbed a rope and jumped down, using the rope to slow his decent to the deck. On the deck the man help the crew get ready for docking on the Village's dock.
When the ship had docked, everyone on the boat got off and went to the bar...expect for a certain man with a smirk on his face as he walked out of the village and out of the country. The man made his way across the 'Great Naruto Bridge' and into The Land of Fire.
He walked in the forest, for how long he didn't keep track, because he was busy drinking a liquid called 'rum.' Above his right wrist on his arm was a tattoo of a dragon surrounding a ship, after he took a sip of his drink he continued towards his destination: The center of the Land of Fire, Konoha.
Why he was going to Konoha? Only he knew that as he took another sip of rum and walked to the gates of one of the strongest villages in the land. With the gates opened, he walked right in and the smirk still on his face.
The first place he walked to was the center of the village, there he decided to go 'talk' to the Hokage about some 'business.' One the way to the tower, however, a sudden kunai whizzed passed him and stuck into the building to the side of him.
"What the?" The man asked when he heard. "Dynamic..." then and there he knew what was coming, so he said, "Oh no." as he turned he saw a person in a green jumpsuit with his foot coming to his face! "Entry!!" The person finished as he connect his foot with the man's face!
The force of the hit sent the man flying off his feet and sliding back to the building and his hat flew off! "Lee! What are you doing?!" shouted a person in robes and with white eyes.
"I'm sorry Neji, but this person seem suspicious so I had to stop him!" shouted Lee with fires in his eyes!
"That doesn't give you the right to go kicking heads off of people just walking!" Neji shouted as the man came to.
"What the heck that for?" the man asked as he rubbed his head, "And where my hat?"
"Sorry for my...!!!" Neji started to say, but then his and Lee was in shock when they saw that the man was the missing S-ranked criminal, Shen Hashigane!!
"YOU!!" Lee and Neji shouted at the same time and pointed fingers at Shen!
"Oh, hey Neji, Lee. It's been awhile." Shen said like he wasn't a S-ranked criminal!
"That's all you have to say!?! You're an S-ranked Criminal! You've betrayed our village, joined the Akatsuki, and disappeared four years ago! Where you been!?" Neji shouted.
"Sailing." Shen answered simply as he put his hat back on and dust off his pants and coat.
"Is that- wait, wait, wait! Sailing!?" Lee and Neji shouted at the same time confused.
"Aye, now stop yelling, I have to go somewhere." Shen said and begin to walk away, but Neji and Lee grabbed him by the shoulders and started to drag him to the Hokage's tower.
"Yeah, your going somewhere... To Lord Hokage's office. Then to Prison!" Neji shouted, but then he and Lee heard what sounded like chains rattling. They turn around and saw that Shen wasn't in their hands, but now Neji's and Lee's hands were chained together by shackles!
"I may have been gone awhile, but I still got my ninja moves." Shen said from the top of a building drinking from his rum bottle, "Ta! I got to go, have fun being chain together!" Shen said as waved his hand from his head and walked out of sight!
"NO!!! Being chained to Lee, this is a nightmare!!" Neji shouted in his head as he tried to get the shackles off desperately! Lee on the other hand didn't really mind being chained and jumped to the roof, dragging Neji to find that Shen was gone!
"Darn! Where did he go?!" Lee shouted to Neji, but Neji was preoccupied with getting the shackles off! "I know! Let's go tell everyone about Shen, so they can help us!" Lee shouted and ran off to the training fields that they were supposed to meet the rest of the Rookie 12. But Neji wasn't so thrilled about going to in front of his friends and letting them see he was chained with Lee!
At said Training Field...
The rest of the Rookie 12 were waiting for Neji and Lee to arrive so they could have a day for old times sake. Everyone was there, including Sasuke who returned after Naruto and him defeated Orochimaru and ended the Sound village.
Life at Konoha was now peaceful, Naruto realized Hinata's feelings and now there were boyfriend and girlfriend and so was Sasuke and Sakura. All of them were Chunins besides Neji, who was a Jounin at the age of sixteen. Everyone was now twenty (Except for Team Gai who is twenty one) and they were training for when the Jounin Exams came by.
However, somethings never change because..."Argh! Where are they!?" Naruto was still impatient as ever. "C-calm down Na-Naruto." Hinata said still with her studdering "I-I sure that there co-coming right now."
"MY FRIENDS!!!" came Lee's booming voice!
"Speak of the devil." Shikamaru said as Lee was running with his left arm back and something behind him.
"What is he dragging?" Ino asked.
"Correction, it's who is he dragging." Shikamaru corrected, "And it looks like Neji."
"NEJI!?!" Everyone shouted as Lee came closer to view and they saw Neji chained to Lee! At no one said until, Naruto, Kiba, and Choji bursted into laughter!
"Ah ha ha hah ha! Wh-what hap-happened to you two!?" Kiba manage to get out as he continue laughing.
"Shut up!" Neji shouted but no one stopped laughing and then they had to wait awhile for Naruto, Kiba and Choji to stop laughing.
"Okay, now that's out of the way, why are you two late?" Sasuke asked.
"And why are you two chained?" Sakura added.
"Because of one person." Neji said and he stay silent for a few second then finally said. "Shen Hashigane." that name froze everyone.
"What do you mean Shen!?" Naruto shouted, "He disappeared four years ago!"
"Disappeared to sailing, apparently." Lee added.
"SAILING?!?!?!" Everyone shouted and Neji and Lee nodded.
"So then." Shikamaru said getting over his shock, "Where should we look?"
"I think we should spilt up and search the village from top to bottom!" Naruto shouted, and surprising everyone agreed.
"That, for once is a good idea. We've have no idea what Shen does now and can be anywhere." Sasuke pointed out.
"Okay, but first before we can do anything...SOMEONE GET THIS OFF OF US!!!" Neji shouted as he pointed to the shackles.
So to get the shackles off, the ninjas used their training and picked the locks on the shackles and the shackles fell to the ground as Neji and Lee rubbed their wrist that was chained. "Okay then, let's go!" Neji shouted and everyone jumped off to find their S ranked criminal 'friend' Shen Hashigane.
Unfortunately, every time that anyone got somewhere, it turns out that they always missed Shen coming out of buildings without them even knowing!
Finally, Shen step into the same bar that he started a bar brawl long ago (Read Dragon of the Mist, Chapter 11: Drunken Fury) and entered, there he saw one a foreign sailor that was drunk and making problems with the other people, Shen at first started to ignore him and sat at the counter and ordered his 'old' drink, sake.
Unknown to Shen, the Rookie 12 was outside of the bar, because Naruto called all of them and said that he found Shen! It was actually a hunch because he thought Shen would be in their because this is where he remembers Shen starting a bar brawl!
"Naruto, that was over seven years ago." Sasuke said after Naruto explained why he called them all, "I seriously doubt that he's going to be here."
"No harm in trying. Who knows? Naruto might be right." Shikamaru said and everyone agreed and walked up the stairs and was about to enter when they heard.
"Y-Y-Y-You're C-C-C-Ca-Captain Sh-Sh-Sh-Shen Hashigane!! The Pirate Lord of the Unknown Sea!!" a terrified voice shouted from the inside, shocking the Rookie 12!
"Pi-Pirate Lord???" All of them said out-loud as they saw a man ran burst out of the bar at high speeds and ran for the exit of the village!
"Shen? A Pirate Lord?" Sakura said in disbelief.
"I always figured that Shen would get a title like that." said Shikamaru.
"I didn't even know that Pirates have lords!" Kiba said in surprise.
"Well we'll never know if Shen gets away, so we might as well capture him and get that information from him himself." Neji said as they entered the door!
Before the Rookie 12 entered...
The foreign sailor kept making trouble and it pissed Shen, so he got out of his seat and walked towards the obnoxious sailor.
While the sailor was blabbing, Shen walked up from behind and tapped his shoulder. "Hey can you shut up? There are some people trying to enjoy the bar." Shen said and the sailor got mad.
"Oh, yeah?" the sailor began to say "Or else what?"sailor said and turn around only to have one of Shen's matchlock guns at his throat!
"Or else, I'll pull this trigger and sent you to the afterlife." Shen said as he cocked his gun, "Consider yourself lucky that we're not on the ocean, because now I can't you to Davy Jones' Locker." Shen said as the sailor started to sweat profusely!
The sailor started to stammer as Shen looked at him with no hesitation. "...I fell merciful today. So get your sorry carcass back to the sea and pray that I don't find you." Shen said as he put his gun back on his belt and the sailor bolted for the door!
"Now that's better." Shen said aloud and went back to his seat and then he heard voices coming from out the door and he recognized the voices, they belonged to the Rookie 12!
"I better leave now before they catch me." Shen mumble as he got out of his seat and was going to the second floor of the bar, but then the Rookie 12 walked in and he froze in place!
"Uh...Hey there, how you all been the past four years?" Shen asked as he reached into his coat. The Rookie 12 got on guard but then lowered it when they saw that what Shen was reaching for was a bottle of rum.
Shen took of the cork at the top of the bottle and drank from it. "So nothing to say, eh?" Shen said after he took a sip of his rum, "Okay then, deal with this!" Shen shouted as he threw his bottle at a bar goer and it smashed over his head and sparked a bar brawl!
Shen used the distraction to run up the stairs dodging the bar fighters. Neji saw that and jumped to the second floor, blocking wherever Shen was going. "You're not getting away! Not after what you've did!" Neji shouted.
"Really now, just what you think your doing blocking the way that I'm not going?" Shen asked and that confused Neji, until he saw Shen run for the glass window and burst out of it!
Naruto, Lee, Sasuke, and Kiba saw that and joined Neji on the second floor and then all five of them jumped out the same window to see Shen running on top the roofs! As soon as they got on the roof, they ran after Shen!
"Get back here Shen!" Kiba shouted as he pulled ahead of everyone.
"Not a chance, Kiba!" Shen shouted back as he reached into his coat and pulled out a small bottle with brown liquid in it, and chucked it over his shoulder, it hit the ground and the liquid spread all over the roof and Kiba ran over the liquid and slipped and slid across the roof and slammed against the side of the wall that was on the edge of the roof, Hard!
That took Kiba out of the chase, as Shen jump to the next roof and hoped to get rid of another pursuer, he's gotten away for many chasers before, this won't be any different!
Neji was the next one to close in on Shen; however, Shen was ready! "Your not going anywhere Shen!" Neji shouted but then Shen whipped around and threw a chain with to iron balls on each end at Neji legs, which caused Neji to fly forward at Shen, but Shen side-stepped him and he fell of the roof!
"I'm not going anywhere! But have a nice trip, see ya next fall!" Shen shouted as Neji landed/crashed on a cart with boxes in it! "That gotta hurt..." Shen softly said as he proceed to run away from Sasuke, Lee, and Naruto!
Shen then leapt to the next roof and Lee was right behind him, Shen once again reached into his trusty coat and pulled out a bottle of sake and opened it! When Lee was close enough, Shen threw the bottle at Lee! Lee was fast enough to catch the bottle before it hit his face, but the liquid itself came out of the bottle and in to his mouth! Lee was then instantaneously drunk, and there for out of the chase! Because now he had no intentions to continue chasing Shen.
Sasuke and Naruto were the only ones left in chase as they ran after Shen and Naruto was the next one to take down- I mean catch up! "I got you now Shen!" Naruto shouted as he grabbed Shen's arm, but then there was a blur and the sound of metal snapping and now, Naruto was chained to a pipe!
"No you don't. The only thing you've got is that pipe." Shen smirked as he ran away and jumped off the roof and crashed through a window of another building! Sasuke quickly followed after with his kusanagi ready as he jumped through the hole in the window that Shen made, while Naruto was screaming his lungs out, yelling at Sasuke for just leaving and She for chaining him to the pipe!
As soon as Sasuke got inside, he looked around for Shen, then he heard a sword being drawn! He turned around to see Shen stepping out of the shadows with the foreign sword that was on his belt! "Sasuke...It's been awhile." Shen said as he and Sasuke circled each other with their swords.
"So you've been a pirate these past four years?" Sasuke asked as he held his kusanagi with both of his hands.
"Aye, mate. I guess you guys overheard that yellow-spined pathetic excuse for a sailor." Shen said as he held his longsword with his right hand. "So then Sasuke, what are you going to do?" Shen asked but Sasuke didn't answered and held his stance, "I see." Shen said as he thrusts his sword forward a few times but Sasuke blocked each hit.
Sasuke then did a few slashes but Shen parried them and shuffled back with each block. "I suppose you never seen this kind of swordsmanship, right Sasuke?" Shen asked but Sasuke answered by attacking, Shen parried again and went on the offensive with his own slashes and Sasuke barely blocked the hits! Shen kept on attacking with fast strikes and never stood in one place, his footwork was fast and light. Sasuke however, wasn't good with his footwork and usually stood in one place when he wasn't attacking. "Your footwork needs work Sasuke," Shen said as he was circling Sasuke, but Sasuke stood his ground, "You'll never beat me by standing in the same spot." Shen advised, but Sasuke didn't talk and tried to attack but Shen dodged and Sasuke ran into the wall with a shelf over his head and then Shen quickly cut the two legs of the shelf and the shelf and the things on it fell on Sasuke!
"Ta-ta." Shen said as he looked at the pile on Sasuke and sheath his sword back and his belt and ran down the hall and pass a double door and a sudden punch erupted from the door and nailed Shen right in the kisser as he was sent flying off his feet and crashing into the wall!
"Keep it down! I'm trying to sleep!" Shouted the Hokage, Tsunade! Completely unaware of who she just clobbered, she was standing in place until Sasuke got out of the pile he was in and ran over. "You got him. Good work." Sasuke said as he walked over to Shen, who was knocked out!
"Got who?" Tsunade asked confused, "Shen, Shen Hashigane." Sasuke answered and Tsunade was shocked! "Shen Hashigane?!? The same Shen Hashigane who disappeared four years ago!?" Tsunade shouted and Sasuke nodded, "Shizune!!!" Tsunade shouted and her assistant quickly came running, "Yes Lady Tsunade?" Shizune asked, then see saw the hole in the wall and saw Shen in the rubble! "What's he doing here?!" Shizune shouted/asked.
"That's why I called you, get a ANBU squad to take this criminal to Prison!" Tsunade ordered and Shizune got an ANBU squad, which they carried Shen off to the Prison!
A/N: I got this idea after I watched Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End! This story is going to be about Shen and his travels as a pirate and how he became the Pirate Lord of the Unknown sea. In Pirates, there was nine Pirate Lord, a lord for each sea and the ocean to the east of the Land Of Waves, I call the Unknown sea, so that's why Shen is the tenth Pirate lord.
