Hello everybody! Welcome to my new fanfic! My first cross-over. This is really kinda like a spin-off, or a second season, of 'The Tale of Kuro', so if you haven't read that one, which is a naruto fanfic, then go do so right now, or you won't understand Kuro that much. Anyway, for this, I'll mostly be using the Anime to decide what I will be doing for this, and at other times, I'll be looking at the wiki of the arc that I'm on to see what actually happens. Like, in the anime, Yoshiteru meets Goemon after he joins the Oda clan. But in the light novel, he meets her right after Toukichirou, or Hideyoushi or whatever, dies. So I'll be using whichever one I want, and by the way, for that one, I will be using the light novel. Anyway, let's just get this chapter underway! Oh, and for some of the dialogue, I kept it the same, or changed it a little. Dialogue, as in, what the Monkey(kinda forgot his name) said. Cause Kuro is replacing him :P so he's still in the 21st century playing Nobunaga's Ambition.

P.S. Do you see that cover picture thing? The yellow flower that is the Oda Clan Crest? That will be changing when my stupid lazy friend finish drawing Kuro for me. When It is done, probably in about 500,000 years later after the Sun explodes, then I'll change it. Now, let us begin!


It has been one long year since I left the village to train. My fire jutsu master, Kakiyaki Miyori, told me to go out and see the world. He said that it would help with my training, if I search for strong opponents, or find a goal, or something. Frankly, I only paid attention to him when he was teaching me fire jutsu. But I do know one thing: He said to go out to see the world. With my borrowed money, I bought a boat and started sailing east. Eventually, I would reach land.

The boat wasn't really that big, but it was big enough to store a few months supply of food and water. Unfortunately, I didn't have the money to rent a crew, so I sailed solo. Pretty difficult work. Unless you can use clones. However, everything changed when the storm hit. It changed my fate as easily as when I was brought to this world. Yes, I am not from this world of ninja, but I never would of expected to find myself back in my old world, unable to use chakra, but still as strong as I was in the world of ninja and chakra. My name is Kuro and this is my second story.


As you may already know, my name is Kuro. I am now 14 years old. I have blood-red eyes and black messy hair, that was kinda long on the sides and at the back and was a little bit over my eyes. I was wearing a black scarf, that ended in a red, blood-like teardrop, black and red sleeveless kimono-style top, with armwarmers and leggings. I wore chainmail under my top and I also had on black and red tabi(footwear) and waragi(sandals). As for weapons, I had several shuriken and kunai, aswell as two shortswords. I also had my new wakizashi that I got from my master when he told me to go and see the world. The scabbard was red, with a flowing pattern of gold X's. But, unsheadthing the sword, you would find a beautiful blade. The blade was made of a dark silver, with red ripples running down the edge of the sword, from the tip of the blade, to the hilt. The hilt is black, with the guard being decorated like a spiral and the handle was also black and had a spiral-like decoration aswell. The pommel was red with a black cirle in the middle. Master Mi called it, Hono no Kiba, or Flame Fang.

Now, ignoring my master's most prized sword, why was I wearing a completely different kind of outfit that what I usually wear? Well, under the tutelage of my master, I found an interest in clothes that resembled japenese ninja. To explain how I found that interest, I'll never know. Though, I'm sure that this interest will be gone the next time I enter a clothes shop, I still is kinda stylish.

But moving on to the present, I am currently stranded in the middle of nowhere, on a mostly ruined boat that can hardly sail anymore. Why was it mostly ruined? Because of the storm, duh. If you were paying attention to what I was saying earlier, then you would have been able to connect the dots. Storm. Ruined boat. Connection? Probably. In other news, the seagulls are still annoying me, so you can laugh at my predicament. Sigh. My life was already messed up. What with the affinity for killing, torture, and other things dark, I could easily kill someone completely innocent because I was annoyed. In fact, if I was annoyed enough, and if I had a friend, I could easily kill that friend and feel nothing from it. I just didn't have any emotions; any feelings. Sure, I had some. But I didn't have any good emotions or feelings or whatever you call it.

But back to my current situation. I was drifting through the ocean, on my ruined boat that costed 500,000 ryo. Sigh. Life sure was funny sometimes.

Looking forward, I thought I saw something. Something greenish. Could it be? Land? Maybe there is a god. And maybe that god is named Kuro. I finally found land! Drifting for three days, most of my food was ruined from the storm and I was left with scraps. Now, three days after the storm, I had no food left and no way to get any, unless I wanted to take a swim. Sure I could hunt those annoying seagulls, but ya know, I'd rather not cook using fire on a ruined wooden ship. Ship at fire. Surrounded by water, I would burn to death. Or it would atleast lead me to jumping into the water and then drowing from lack of strength. Either way, I now saw land.

Sweet, sweet land.


Rowing towards the land was pretty difficult. Luckily, I had two oars left over. Sure, they were cracked. Sure, that when I was still rowing to the land I saw, one of the oars broke. Sure, a piece landed in my shoulder and hurt like hell. But atleast I knew how to sew, how to fix my wounds, and that five hours of rowing later, I finally reached my destination: land.

After disinfecting my wound and sewing up my top, I set up camp. By camp, I mean ripping pieces of the boat off and building a campfire. After the fire was alight, I headed out into the forest to find some food, taking only shuriken and kunai. It's not like there are angry people roaming around, right? Even if there were, I could just use Akaoni to kill them in less than a second. Ah, Akaoni. The Kekkai Genkai that only I could use. When I used it, my eyes start to glow red. And when I use the evolved form, stage two, which is what I call it, my eyes still glow red, but my pupils turn yellow. I also noticed, while staring at the mirror, that my pupils also go into a more "diamond-shaped" form. It was just a little bit at the top and bottom, so you couldn't notice unless you looked really hard, but it was there.

In anycase, instead of explaining stuff in my mind, where no one can hear me, because that would be weird: If this was one of those japanese animations, called anime, or a book, or even a fanfiction, then I wouldn't be stranded on a deserted island, or where ever I was. I would be surrounded by, I don't know, girls. Or atleast awesome swords. Maybe I'll finally be alone. I won't have to listen to any annoying idiots. I could be by myself, not caring about the world ending, or how to deal with people, or anything at all. But I have duties. In one year, I must return to my village.

But anyway, I should focus on looking for food. Besides, who am I talking to? Why must I explain things I already know to myself? I should just stop thinking now.

Walking through this forest, I listen for anything moving around the foliage. If any deer, or animal of any kind, are walking around, they would make a noise. And that noise would alert me. Which would cause me to throw the kunai that I'm holding in my mechanical right hand, into the offender's head. Listening silently, hardly moving a muscle, I wait for my prey. I close my eyes and start to search with my mind's eye. Where was food. Where was meat. Where was...deer! I quickly open my eyes and threw my kunai to my right. I turn my head and looked at where the sound came from. A few seconds after I threw my kunai, all was silent. I stealthily walk over to where the sound came from and found a deer lying dead on the forest floor, with one of my distinctly marked kunai in its head. I mark all of my kunai in the same way; by tying on a red and black string on the handle of the kunai. You may find this stupid, and I also find it stupid, but... seriously, who am I talking to? I only mark these stupid kunai because master told me to do that so he can train my mind in finding the right kunai. A stupid training method if you ask me.

But now, I have dead deer to worry about. Why must I worry about it? Because now I have to carry it back to my campsite and cook it. The smoke would alery anyone nearby, and the smell would carry and might draw unwanted attention to myself. But I'm hungry, so I don't care. Even if it brings 100 wolves to me, I would kill them all for this bloody meat. I'm starving.


A few hours later and I was eating. The deer tasted great. Though, with my cooking abilites, it would taste good even if it was expired. Swallowing down the last bite of the deer, I made my way back to my crashed destroyed expensive boat. I started to dig around the remains until I found what I was looking for: blankets and a pillow. Now I can sleep on the soft beach. Spreading a blanket on the beach, I lied down on it and then placed one ontop of myself. I then placed the pillow underneath my head.

Tomorrow, I will gather up my stuff and search this place. I will find civiliation, or I will find the materials to craft another boat and sail off this island, heading back west to make my way home. But for now, time to sleep.


The next day, I gathered up all my weapons and hid them on my person. I then gathered up my supplies and placed them in a black knapsack. I had to leave some stuff behind, like the rest of my deer, but I could easily find more food. If there was a town, I could just steal money and food from there. But if there wasn't, I would just return here to build permanent lodgings until I craft a boat to return home.

Walking through the forest, I felt unease. There was something up ahead. Whatever it was, sent shivers down my spine. Whatever was up ahead, will change my destiny. Something was about to happen. Getting closer to what sent shivers down my spine, I start to hear gun shots. But that was impossible! So far, living in the ninja world, there was no guns! Just kunai, shuriken, swords, and other weapons up until the medieval time period. But... the sound I'm hearing was definitely from guns! Getting closer to the sounds, I also heard war crys and the sound of horses. Where was I?

Entering a clearing, I soon found my answer. Samurai. And the flags they wore on their back were familiar from my history lessons in my original world. It looked like a black flower and it was surrounded by yellow. That was the clan crest for Oda Nobunaga. So, I was in the Sengoku period. Hm. Makes sense. Whatever brought me into the ninja world, could probably take me out. As for going back into time, it could probably do that too. Mysterious powers are like that. Always doing random things, making no sense, and-

Just then, a guy in armour with black hair tied into a short ponytail, grabbed me and made me run with him.

"Kid! Why are you just standing around here for? It's not safe!" To prove his point, gun shots hit the ground near us. Around us, I could see samurai on horses with spears and swords and samurai with guns opening fire on them. "We gotta get moving!"

"Woah! Slow down. Where are we running to that is safe?" I asked him.

"I'm defecting to Oda's side! I'd rather be with the Oda than with the Imagaya! Since your on Oda's side, help me, okay?"

"Look, buddy, I'm not on Oda's side. I'm not on anyone's side! I just got here, in fact. And I-"

"Look out kid!" He pushed me out of the way, and a bullet shot through his back and out of his chest. I landed to the ground and stared at my saviour. Though I barely heard the bullet because of the sound of the battle, I could have easily have dodged that. Infact, I was just about to do that when he pushed me out of the way! Well, since he did technically kinda saved me, I might as well hear his dying wish, or whatever. Who knows, I might just get something out of it.

"To think my life would be taken by a stray bullet..."

"Listen old man, I may not know you, and you may not know me, but what was your dream? Don't you want to fulfill it or something?"

"What is your... name kid?"

"Kuro." I stated simply.

"Kuro, huh?" Looking closely at his face, he kinda reminds me of a monkey. Wonder why. "My dream of having a castle, a country, and lots of women... Live it for me!"

"Uh, what? What are you saying?"

"You can do it, Kuro!" He tipped his head back, prepared to die.

"Wait. What is your name old man?"

"My name is Kinoshita Toukichirou." Wait a minute. Toukichirou? Why did that name sound so familiar...

"Wait a minute, you're Toyotomi Hideyoshi!" What was he doing here? But wait, if he dies, wouldn't history get screwed up? "Hey, old man! Don't die! You're supposed to serve Nobunaga and unite Japan!" Looking confused, Hideyoshi opened his eyes and looked up at me.

"Nobunaga? The head of the Oda family is Oda... Nobuna." He started to raise his arm, but then he dropped it. He was dead. Hearing a noise behind me, I turned around.

"Who are you?" I said to the girl. The girl infront of me, was very petite. She had bright pink eyes, short silver hair, and wore similar clothing as me, a ninja-ish attire.

In a very...uh, unique voice, the girl introduced herself. "My name is Hachisuka Goemon. I've come to serve you in place of my master, Kinoshita." She started to bite her tonuge at the end of her sentence. I narrowed my eyes at her and she grew a little unconfortable. "I'm not good with long sentences." she stated.

"So, are you Toukichirou's daughter or something?"

"His companion!" she instantly replied. "He is the trunk, and I am the vine hiding in its shade. Together, we will make our way in the world. That was out promise."

"I see. So you can do, around thirty or so letters, tops."

"Sh-shut up!"

"Well, enough messing around. We're kinda stuck here in a battle. We should probably meet up with Nobu..." Remembering what Kunoshita said, I stopped what I was saying. He said that the head of the Oda family was Oda Nobuna. So, since the name is different, I can't accidently slip up and get it wrong. "And meet up with Oda Nobuna. Is that okay with you, Goemon?"

"Yes!" she said.

"Then let's see... do you see where Nobuna is?" I asked her. She looked around a little bit before she pointed at a girl riding a white horse.

"Over there!"

She had long blonde hair that was tied up into a ponytail. She had big brown eyes and she was wearing a red cape and armor. She carried a katana in her right hand. An enemy cavalry unit was following her around, until they clashed together. She had jumped off her horse to avoid a deadly blow, but the enemy samurai jumped off aswell and striked down at her with his own katana. The two blades rang off each other and the girl's katana broke in half. He jumped back and prepared himself by raising his sword. Was that girl seriously Oda Nobuna?

"Your life is mine."

"Stop right there!" I stepped infront of the girl, who may or may not be Oda Nobuna, and drew one of my two shortswords, and pointed the sword at the samurai. "Goemon, leave this one to me. Just make sure no one is sneaking up on us." Goemon nodded and disappeared in a shadowy smoke-like way. That was kinda cool. Much better than disappearing in a puff of smoke.

A new samurai appeared, riding on a horse, holding a spear. The one that was standing started to talk. "Are you an Oda soldier, too?" he asked, pointing his katana at me.

"Just finish them already!" yelled the mounted samurai in anger.

"Understood!" the unmounted samurai said and started to charge towards me. I prepared myself for a small battle. The samurai charged at me, and slashed at me with his katana, but I easily blocked it. He backed up. I slashed vertically down at me, but he blocked it, but he still backed up from the force of my attack. I closed the distance between us, and I stabbed upwards with my sword. The sword entered his chest and came out of the other side as I stood up. I pulled back my sword and the samurai fell down, dead.

Just then, another girl, with chocolate brown hair, tied into a ponytail by a red string, with brown eyes, and wearing armour, and a halberd, came riding in with reinforements. The last enemy samurai, the one on the horse, shrunk back in fear. "No! It's Onishibata! Retreat!" The samurai turned his horse around and started riding off, along with the other samurai that were on his side. Onishibata and her reinforcements followed after them in order to vanquish them, but she stopped when she reached us.

"Are you unharmed?" she asked the girl I just saved, which is definitely Oda Nobuna.

"I'm fine. Keep pressing forward and rout the Imagawa." Onishibata then turned her horse around and chased after the fleeing enemy. "And you... who are you?" she asked me. "To save the head of the Oda family, you must be one of my foot soldiers, or are you defecting?"

"If you must know, I'm not on your side and I'm not defecting. In fact, I just decided to do something drastic." I gave a pause for drama to build up, though it was wasted on this girl. "I request that you allow me to join your side as a vassel."


"This is the Sengoku era. The land is divided between powerful warlords, who ceaselessly fight amongst themselves. Any internal power struggle is an invitation for your neighbors to attack. Thus, it was decided that the firstborn child, regardless of gender, would become the head of the family. The result of this was the birth of the Princess Generals."


Traveling through a mountainous region, covered in forest was pretty boring. The girl I saw ealier, the one that was wearing armour, was the fierce Shibata Katsuie, her nickname is Riku.

According to history, she was supposed to be a bearded old guy, or something. But I guess that since Nobunaga is a girl named Nobuna, then Katsuie would also be a girl.

But finally, arriving at Nobuna's compound, I found myself sitting in the middle of the room, facing Nobuna. To my right, was Katsuie and a little girl wearing tiger skin. On my left, was a girl with indigo hair and eyes, who kept smiling.

"So? You want to serve the Oda family?" I bowed down, with my hands and knees on the floor.

"Please, Lord Nobunaga, let-" Oh. Crap. Slip of the tongue. Nobuna jumped at me and kicked me in the face. I decided not to move out of the way to make her feel better. She then started stepping on my face, stomping all over it with her foot, like she was squishing a bug.

"What is this? You messed up the name of the general you want to serve? Are you an idiot?! I told you, my name is Nobuna! So, what's your name?"

"Kuro." Stepping on my face, made my name sound a bit wrong, but I think she got my name right.

"Got it." Taking her foot off my face, she started to move away. "It's monkey." Walking away, Nobuna returned to where she was sitting.

"It's not monkey." I said, getting up. "It's Kuro. And besides, I kinda came from the future, so-" Nobuna turned around and kicked me once again.

"I don't believe in gods or buddhas. And no human would say something so weird. That means your a monkey." She then turned away from me.

"Then, we can call him monkey. But if we're going to use him as a retainer, he'll need some sort of role." Said the girl with indigo hair. Her name is Niwa Nagahide. Her nickname is Manchiyo. The Oda family's tactician. She giggled a little bit at the end.

"You're right." agreed Nobuna. "It felt good to step on him. He can be in charge of my shoes." Nagahide snapped shut her fan.

"That will do nicely. Seventy points." she said.

"And why's that?" I asked calmly, sitting back up. "I'm a monkey and in charge of your shoes?" Don't make me laugh. But wait. I'm remembering something. Does her calling me Monkey mean I'm supposed to take his place? The same name Nobunaga gave Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the man who united Japan. That sounds kinda good. I'd love to conquer Japan.


Dismissed from Nobuna's little court, I was dragged off to where I'll be staying at. "This is kinda shabby." I said sighing.

"'Be grateful that you were even given a place to stay," is what the princess says." said the little girl wearing tiger skinned clothing, who was holding a spear in her left hand. Maeda Toshiie. Her nickname is Inuchiyo. The greatest spear wielder in the Oda clan.

"Well, I was thrown into the Sengoku Era with hardly anything of my own, so I can't really ask for much." I just wish I still had my money from my own time, or the small amount of money I brought with me here. But then again, I'm pretty sure that there is a different currency, or something. But atleast I have my weapons.

"Is it not to your taste?" asked an old guy entering the small house.

"Old man Asano." said Inuchiyo.

Old man Asano looked at me before he began speaking again. "Oh, my. How valiant you look. You look much like I did in my youth." Right, old man. You looked "a lot" like me when you were younger. Right. I rolled my eyes. "So much so that I wish you'd marry my daughter Nene and take over my inn."

"Really? Can't marry anyone I haven't met yet though. So introduce us." Though I won't marry her.

"Very well." he said, getting up. He left the room and soon enough, he came back inside with a little girl.

"I'm Nene!" she stated, raising a wooden spoon. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Monkey!"

"She's way too young, so, no thanks." I said quietly.

"You're a very noisy person, Mr. Monkey!"

"I'm not a monkey, and I wasn't loud. My name is Kuro."

Nene giggled. "I understand, Mr. Monkey." she said, not understanding, and hitting me in the head with her wooden spoon.

I sighed. "Whatever."


"With no idea of how to get home, I'll have to survive here. It sucks that it's not Nobunaga, just some snippy little girl named Nobuna, but conquering Japan doesn't sound so bad. Just wait, old man. From now on, I'll live your dream! Or, atleast, some of it!" I said, lying down to sleep.


In some distant place, from where Kuro was, still in Japan, was Imagawa Yoshimoto. Ruler of the eastern coastal provinces and the countess closest to conquering Japan. "So you couldn't slay that idiot Nobuna?"

"I-I'm really sorry." replied a petite girl with green hair. "We almost had her, and then, somebody interfered. Matsudaira Motoyasu. Later, she will become Tokugawa Ieyasu, but currently, she is a mere servant to the Imagara family. She giggled nervously.

"As punishment, I'll have to cut your pay again!" said Yoshimoto.

"Not that! I'm already eating nothing but potatoes four days a week.

"Ohohohohohoho!" laughed Yoshimoto. Appearing from behind her, in shadows, was Hanzo. "Is that you, Hanzo?"

"The interference came from a man the Oda call "Monkey"." said Hanzo.

"Ohohohohoho! So, she's taken in a monkey? Nobuna is such a fool!"


Somewhere, the next morning, in a place far away from Kuro, still in Japan, soldiers stabbed their spears into strawmen for training. "Yoshitatsu plans on attacking Oda. He's still young." Saitou Dousan, the count of Mino. A legend of the Sengoku Era, who began as a merchant and grew to rule an entire province.

"Nobuhide, the Tiger of Owari Province, has died." said one of the three men behind Dousan.

"And the one who rose in his place..." said another.

"...Is a foolish girl with a taste for barbarian fashions." said the third one.

"Normally, she would make an excellent target." said Dousan.

"Indeed. If you leave it to us and Yoshitatsu, we shall destroy her immediately."

"I would take the opposite approach, and befriend her." said Dousan.

"Impossible!" one of the three said.

"To do what others would never consider. That's what it takes to conquer the land." finished Saitou Dousan.


Back to Oda's compund, in Owari Province...

"The Viper of Mino Provice has requested an audience." said Nobuna.

"The Viper? Do you mean Saitou Dousan?"

"But Mino Province is a rival of ours." said Nagahide.

"It's not surprising." said Nobuna.

"Wh-why is that?" asked Katsuie.

"Because if I were going to ally with somebody, it would be the Viper." Katsuie and Nagahide looked at each other for a few moments before returning their gaze to Nobuna's smiling confident face.

If I remember correctly... "You didn't believe I was from the future, did you?" I said to Nobuna, crossing my arms.

"And?" she asked

"I'll prove it." Narrowing my eyes, I continued. "You'll be meeting with Saitou Dousan at, um, Shoutokuji Temple."

"What are you talking about? We haven't decided on a place yet."

Then a messenger came a got onto a knee infront of Nobuna, outside. "Mino Province just gave us the location of the conference." she said.

"Huh? W-where?" asked Nobuna.

"Right. Shoutokuji Temple, I'm told." This got many shocked faces from Nobuna's court.

"Impossible." said Katsuie.

"What a surprise." said Nagahide. "Ninety points."

"Monkey, how did you know?" asked Nobuna.

"Well, first, stop calling me monkey. Second, I'm from the "future" and I'm a genius. So, of course I would know where it would be at." Plus, when your step-mother is the principle of a major academic school, your kinda forced to learn a whole bunch of stuff at home and at school. Japanese history was one of the things she covered for me at home with a tutor and a whole bunch of historical books and whatnot. Plus, the second I heard about the One-Eyed Dragon, I wanted to learn more, so I read all about it online. "Well, we should start heading there now. I'll just go prepare." I got up and left the room.


Later, we were traveling through another forest. "You sure brought a lot of riflemen." I said to Nobuna.

"500 riflemen. Pretty impressive, aren't they? I brought them to show off to the Viper." she said. she said this while she sat on her horse, while I had to walk. How unfair was that? I mean, I'm used to running for miles and miles and miles, but sometimes I want to relax too! But getting back on track, I'm pretty sure Dousan sees Nobunaga heading to the meeting and does something, what was it again?

Over where Dousan is, watching Nobuna heading to the meeting...

"If we kill Nobuna here, Owari Province will belong to the Saitou family." giggled a girl with long hair. Akechi Juubei Mitsihide, famous for her literary and military talent. A young genius who has begun to distinguish herself.

"Do you think it will be that easy?" asked Dousan.

"Of course! Everything is ready."

"Hmm."

Back to Kuro...

"Hey Nobuna!" I said, getting her attention.

"You address your lord like that?" she said back to me.

"Have your men light their rifles!"

"What happens if the rifles explode?"

"Are your men that stupid?"

"Of course not! Don't underestimate us! Light your rifles!" She called out to her riflemen.

Now back to Dousan...

"Heeee!" screamed Mitsuhide. "We've got trouble! Impossible!"

"Hm. Impressive." said Dousan, looking at how Nobuna's soldiers have lit their rifles. "She had the rifles lit despite the fact that they might explode. She's either a complete fool, or..."

And now, we arrive at Shoutokuji Temple.

Me, Inuchiyo, and Katsuie sat outside the temple, with Katsuie sitting right next to the door and me and Inuchiyo sitting at the bottom of the stairs leading into the temple. I could feel Goemon looking on from the rafters of the temple inside, making sure nothing sneaky happens. Though, I could've done that too.

"She's late." said Dousan.

"Lord Dousan," whispered Mitsuhide, "you really shouldn't dress like that during an important meeting."

"She'll do the same." said Dousan back. "Making the other person feel at ease is part of being a great leader."

'So he was watching us ealier. Anyway, is the girl next to him Mitsuhide? I don't know. Why did some of the male generals turn into female generals? This is weird. Unless history was always like this, and we just got it wrong. Maybe there was really no Nobunaga, but there was Nobuna.'

"I've kept you waiting, Viper." From the other side of the room, the screen door opened up, revealing Nobuna, dressed in a yukata.

"What?" said Dousan. "Wh-wh-wh-why? I mean, you're so beautiful."

Giggling, Nobuna said, "Did I surprise you?" Dousan nodded several times. "Well?"

"Why did you change your clothes?"

"I'm meeting the Viper of Mino. It wouldn't be right to wear my usual clothes."

After a pause, Dousan recovered. "I see." he said.

'These two...' I thought to myself. 'Dousan tried to make Nobuna feel at ease, and Nobuna showed respect for Dousan.'

A few minutes later, and the meeting continued. "You seem to have brought a lot of riflemen." said Dousan.

"Now is the age of the rifle." said Nobuna.

"Many say they're barbarian toys."

"Anyone foolish enough to say such a thing would be downed in a single shot by my foot soldiers. The Owari Province soldiers are said to be the weakest in Japan, but with rifles in their hands, they're the strongest."

'Someday, I'm pretty sure that those rifles will destroy the strongest cavalry of the Sengoku Era: Takeda's cavalry! I think. Pretty exciting stuff will be happening soon, huh?'

"After you've allied with me, will you attack Suruga Province and Imagawa?" asked Dousan.

"No. Mino." Katsuie and Mitsuhide expressed surprise at what Nobuna said. Dousan was calm.

"Why focus on Mino Province?"

"The same reason you did, Viper. The one who rules Mino Province rules the nation. It's the center of Japan, dividing the east and west. Build a well-constructed castle here, and the nation is as good as yours. To make a wealthy country, where merhcants travel freely. That was your ambition, wasn't it?"

Dousan laughed a little bit. "So you know all about it?" Nobuna stood up.

"I'm taking Mino Province." She declared. Mitsuhide put her hand her on her sword and Katsuie did the same. Inuchiyo outstretched her hand and placed it on my left shoulder, trying to push me back. Dousan threw out his arm, stopping Mitsuhide. He placed it back in his lap, before he continued talking.

"Do you think I'll let you?" he said.

"What if I told you that I will carry on your dream?"

"What?"

"I'll destroy the old systems that have wrought havoc across Japan, and turn this into a country that can compete with the barbarian nations. I've set my sights on the whole world!"

"Hahahahaha! So your gaze already lies beyond the sea? Your ideals are correct. But no one can follow you there. The fact that they call you a fool is proof of that."

"Even so, I'll keep moving forward."

"Destroying anything that gets in your way?" Now, Dousan stood up. "If you wish to start with Mino, then I accept your challenge."

"That's what I want." Thunder rumbled outside as a storm was about to go off.

"Wait a second." I said, standing up and calmly walking up the steps.

Katsuie grabbed my arm and tried to throw me down, but when she couldn't, she stopped trying. "You idiot! Do you want to be killed?" Mitsuhide turned around, standing up and put her hand back on her sword.

"Get back, Monkey!" Nobuna said, throwing her left arm in the air, to her side.

"Saitou Dousan!" I said. "I know what you're actually thinking. I believe that you know what lies in store for Mino. Why are you being so stubborn?"

"What are you talking about?" said Nobuna.

"This will be interesting." Dousan said, almost whispering. Speaking up, he said, "Let him speak."

"Monkey..." Katsuie said, letting go of my arm.

"It's fine." I said. "Let me do this." Dousan took Mitsuhide's offered sword and I stepped forward, closer to him. Thunder boomed outside. When I got close enough, he swung the sword at my neck, but stopped before it hit it.

"One wrong word and your head will be lying on the floor." warned Dousan.

"Apologize, Monkey!" causioned Nobuna. "There's still time."

"Dousan, when this meeting is over, you'l tell your men something like this: "My children shall tie their horses at the gate of The Fool of Owari."

"Wh-what?!" shouted Dousan, pulling back a step.

"In other words," I continue, "you already know your son can't defeat Nobuna. You know it can't happen!" I stared into Dousan's eyes, full of confidence of being mostly right. Like I'd remember "every" thing that happened in this time period. Thunder continued to rumble outside. I could tell that Goemon was on the rafters, with a kunai in her left hand, ready to jump down in case anything happens. Though I don't think anything will happen.

"Mhmhmhahaha. Child, how did you know what I was thinking?"

"I just knew."

"What?"

"I'm kinda from the future. You're going to hand Mino over to Nobuna. If you don't, your entire life will have been a waste. Saitou Dousan, Oda Nobuna is the only one who can continue your dreams."

"Kid..." We stared at eachother seriously for a few more seconds before Dousan removed the sword from my neck. Even if he did swing, I could've easily have dodged it and killed him at the same time. "I have completely lost."

"What? Viper?" said Nobuna, kinda confused.

"I didn't expect anyone from the future." said Dousan.

"Around 450 years or so in the future. There, Saitou Dousan is a hero of the Sengoku Era." I think. Or, that's what I remembered it being anyway.

"Is he? I wrote my name in the annals of history, then." Stabbing the sword into the floorboards of the temble, Dousan continued. "Thanks to you, the Viper has become true to himself at the very end." Looking at Nobuna, he said, "I will prepare a treaty handing Mino Province over to little Miss Nobuna. I will give Mino to my new daugher, Nobuna!" said Dousan, finishing his short speech.

"Really? said Nobuna, hardly believing what she was hearing, but smiling nevertheless.

"Thus, the Owari and Mino Provinces formed an alliance."

Somewhere else...

"Have you gone mad, Father?! I refuse to accept it!" said Yoshiteru.

Back to Kuro...

"I guess I'll praise you for this. It's thanks to you." said Nobuna, not even looking at me.

"Why don't you say it to my face, and maybe then it won't feel like a lie?"

"Shut up, already! Just give me my shoes! We're leaving!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here ya go." I bent down and retrieved her shoes and gave them to her. We then set out for the Owari Province.


And there ya go. If you liked it, please leave a review saying what you thought of it and for anything I accidently did wrong. If you liked it, also please leave a favorite and follow if you want to, I mean, you don't "have" to do it, and I don't "want" you to do it...totaly being Tsundere :P. But no seriously, if you enjoyed this, please leave a review, favorite, and maybe even a follow. If you didn't like it, please leave a review saying what you didn't like, and I'll try to fix it. Like I said at the beginning, if you haven't read 'The Tale of Kuro', please go and read it to find out more about Kuro. Thanks. Arigato. PEACE!

P.S. If you hate this, and you leave a review saying, that, "it started good, but then blah blah blah, insert negative shit here," I will find you and kill you. I seriously hate it when people lie by saying that it was good, but then only give negative shit. If your gonna do that, then atleast don't say something like, "I only read this to insult it." If you do "that" I will find you and your family and friend, and everybody important to you, and kill them all infront of you, and then I will kill you painfully. If you loved this and you do this as a joke and then at the end say "JK it was awesome," I will personally give the wall right next to you a round house kick to remember. Or the air. Depends on where you are when I find you. But anyway, I hoped you enjoyed reading, if you didn't please read this paragraph again, "carefully" this time. PEACE!

P.S.S. My favorite character from Nobuna no Yabou, is Goemon. She is just so awesome and adorable XD
