Hey guys, here is ANOTHER story that was formed deep within the bowels of my consciousness. I've been watchin the Pirates of the Caribbean movies lately, so I've been in a piratey mood. Yes, they're ninjas, so it breaks the rules of the universe, but pirates and ninjas have been combined before (I once saw/read a pirate/ninja/samurai). And the way I figure it, they aren't proper ninjas anyway. More like mystical warriors. Anyway, I'm doing it, so ha! Read and review as always.
-February 6th 20 years ago-
It was a lovely day out in sea. The weather was warm, with a cool breeze keeping the temperature from getting to hot. Where you would normally hear the sound of seagulls and the calming sound of the ocean, instead there was cannon and gunfire, metal clashing metal, and the howls and battle cries of men.
Two ships broadside to each other, exchanging blasts of cannon balls. One was a small frigate that belonged to the Leaf royal navy of the Empire of Konohagakure as obvious by its green and blue colors. It had seen better days. The other ship on the port side of the Leaf was a larger ship, not by much, but enough. It was brown and grey, sporting the flag of the Stone royal navy of Iwagakure. It was fair to say the larger ship had been responsible for the damage to the former.
On the deck of the poor Leaf ship, the crew was fighting valiantly against the enemy which had boarded their ship. Most noticeable was the captain, a young man standing at a good six feet with a main of spiky blonde hair with blue eyes. He fought spiritedly against three opponents, his rapier slashing and slicing faster than most eyes could track. Next to him was a much younger lad, almost a child with anti-gravity platinum blonde hair, with a scarf wrapped around the lower half of his face.
"Captain, not to be a downer, but it seems this might be a losing fight." The younger lad stated.
The captain laughed and plunged his sword into the chest of one of his opponents, and parrying the strike of another. "A losing fight for us, or them, Lieutenant Hatake?"
The lieutenant rolled his eyes and ducked a horizontal slash from his enemy. "You bloody well know for who, Captain."
This time the captain chuckled sadly. "You're probably right Kakashi. If that's the case, my final order is take out as many of these bastards as you can."
"Not abandon ship while you hold them off sir?"
"I thought about it, but you wouldn't obey it anyway." He said with a smirk.
"True enough sir. It's been an honor serving under you, Captain."
"Kakashi, this may be our final moments. Call me Minato."
"It's been an honor, Captain Minato."
Minato rolled his eyes. "It was implied to drop the captain, Kakashi."
-Aboard the Iwa ship-
The captain smiled gleefully as he watched, from the safety of his own ship of course, the Leaf marines and navy corpsman slowly fall. He almost jumped in his place when he saw the other captain receive a kick from one of the Iwa marines.
'Finally, a victory against Konohagakure. And a large bonus being able to take out the damned Yellow Flash, with its damn Captain Namikaze! That man has been a thorn in Iwa's side too long! Finally, justice done for our lost brothers.'
A worried looking crewman ran up to the Iwa captain. His face looked like it had seen a ghost.
"What's wrong man? Why so glum looking on the eve of a great victory?"
"Sir, another ship comin' up behind us sir."
"Leaf reinforcements?"
The crewman shook his head. "No Captain. Pirates."
The captain frowned a bit. He was hoping to keep the Yellow Flash intact. It was the fastest ship in the Elemental sea, and it would be a huge blow to Konoha morale if it was seen in the service if Iwagakure. As good a mood as he was in, he really wasn't in the mood to squabble with some cowardly pirates hoping to scavenge some loot and a ship from the battle.
He sighed. "It seems that we'll have to deal with them once we've finished off the greatest enemy of our great nation."
The crewman gulped nervously. "You don't understand, Captain. It's…it's the Nine-Tailed Fox, sir."
And that's when the Iwa captain's day was ruined. As well as his life.
-Back aboard the Yellow Flash-
Minato seemed to finally be tiring from his dual with four opponents. He could only keep it up for so long, now could he? As he continued to parry the opposing strikes, purely fighting on defense now, he risked a look at Kakashi. The young lad seemed to be tiring as well.
It was then he heard more cannon fire. As in other cannon fire than from his ship or the Iwa's. "I know those guns…" he pondered aloud. The rounds smashed into the back of the Iwa ship. Unfortunately, because he had been occupied with watching pieces of the enemy ship blow up, he missed a parry and was kicked in the face by one of the enemy crewman.
He fell to the ground, slamming his head against the wooden deck. The four crewman prepared to thrust their swords through his torso, and Minato knew there was no way he had the time to parry all of them. 'So this is it.' He thought sadly.
"PIRATES!"
His four would-be killers turned to their left to see a dozen pirates swing onto the starboard side of the Yellow Flash. One of them kept the swing till they reached the four and kicked the closest, resulting in a domino effect of Iwa crewman. The pirate, a beautiful woman with fiery red hair tied under a bandana drew her blade and grabbed Minato's hand and pulled him up.
"Get off your ass Captain Namikaze."
The two turned to the four Iwas who had regained their footing. If you didn't know better, you would think these two trained together, their teamwork was so impeccable. Flipping and turning over each other, they looked like they were dancing with one another.
Meanwhile, the Nine-Tailed Fox, a red-orange ship with the same color sails, kept moving till it rounded the bow of the Yellow Flash. It came about to broadside the port side of the Iwa ship. Unprepared for the ship, the pirates face little resistance as they unleashed cannon fire onto the Iwas. They kept it up till the powder magazine within the enemy ship exploded, and caused the sinking of the sip.
With nowhere to go with their ship sunk, and the Leaf morale boosted with the reinforcements, the Iwa crew aboard the Flash surrendered. The Flash's crew accepted the unconditional surrender, and had all of the Iwas locked in the brig. The pirates and Leaf marines and crewman were celebrating their victory with hoots, howls, and oorahs.
"Captain Namikaze, why does it seem like I am always saving your ass." The red-headed pirate captain teased.
Minato chuckled. "Well, Captain Uzumaki, I don't ever recall asking for your assistance."
"Are you saying I shouldn't bother coming to your aid anymore, Captain?" The pirate said with mock shock.
"I never said it wasn't appreciated, Captain." He replied with a sly grin.
The pirate captain laughed and sauntered over to him, shaking her hips suggestively as she did so. "Yeah, yeah. Excuses. Which, Captain, will only get you so far. This time, I want proper compensation." She said wiggling her eyebrows and placing a hand on his muscled chest.
Minatao tilted his head to the side with an expression of mock confusion on his face. "Why, Captain, what ever could I properly repay you with?" He said.
"I'm sure you could think of a few things, Captain." She replied seductively, allowing her hands to roam his body.
"Oh, perhaps, this… could be accepted as proper payment." He said, squeezing her pert behind in his hands causing her to gasp.
"Why Captain! An officer of your standing, doing something of that audacity! Why I never! Treating a lady such as myself with such actions!"
"Captain Uzumaki, you never were a lady to begin with. You are, however, a beautiful, perverted pirate woman."
It was, at this point, the two received hoots, whistles and other embarrassing noises from their respective crews.
"Oh get a room, you two!"
"Hey Captain, gonna get it in this time?"
"Awww yeah! Getting' busy you two! Haha!"
Minato scooped up Kushina in his arms. "To my quarters then, shall we?"
"We shall." She replied.
Minato carried her to his cabin, which was lucky enough to only have one hole blasted in it. He let her down to her feet and the two met in a vicious, passionate, lip lock. Their tongues wrestled like two pythons for dominance, neither giving an inch. After a few minutes of this, Kushina grabbed Minato's coat, and pushed him down onto his bed. She then crawled over him to straddle his waist. Minato smiled and opened his mouth to comment, but Kushina brought a finger to his mouth, keeping him quiet. She then trailed the finger down his chin, sensually rubbed down his neck, and both her hands rubbed down his chiseled chest and ripped open his shirt revealing skin.
"Now, Captain," she said sexually, with her eyes half lidded, eyeing Minato like prey, "let's see if you're worthy of the title."
Minato sat up and once again combined his lips with hers, and returned the favor and ripped her shirt open as well. His lips trailed down her lips, chin, neck, upper chest, and down her breasts. Before he could remove her brassiere, she once again pushed him down on his bed.
Once again, she eyed him with hunger, and an almost evil smirk. "Oh yes, Captain. If what I can feel beneath me is what I think it is, you are truly worthy of your title, and, more importantly, me."
-1 hours later-
Kushina and Minato fell back onto the bed, sweaty and out of breath.
"Captain Namikaze, I am pleases to report, you exceed expectations, and are worthy of the title."
Minato panted and laughed. "You had doubts, Kushina?"
She smiled and panted, "Not really. But you can never judge by appearances. Or ships. I was a bit worried. Your ship has the reputation of fastest in the sea. Perhaps other things you have are the fastest. But considering how long you lasted, those doubts were unnecessary."
Minato laughed and went to stand up, only to be pulled down back by Kushina.
"Where do you think you're going? I'm not done yet." Her gaze then moved downward. "And from the look of it, neither are you."
-2 hours later-
The Nine-Tailed Fox slowly pulled away from the Yellow Flash. As she pulled away, Minato and the Flash's crew gave their farewells to the pirates who had just saved their lives. Captain Kushina stood on the rail of her ship, and saluted Minato goodbye.
"Farewell Captain Namikaze. Perhaps next time we meet will be under much better circumstances, and will end the same way." She said with a wink.
Minato chuckled and simply nodded. With a final salute, he turned to his men and gave them orders.
On the way back to the nearest port, Minato stood alone on deck, at the wheel of the Flash. He gazed at the sky with a content smile on his face.
"Maybe I speak out of place, Captain, but I'm pretty sure it isn't safe to steer when distracted."
"Kakashi. You should be sleeping."
"Couldn't sleep. I had a question bothering my mind since we were rescued."
"Which is?"
"…How was she?"
Minato smacked the silver haired lad upside the head. "None of your business."
Kakashi raised an eyebrow.
Minato chuckled. "She could make succubi jealous Kakashi."
Kakashi giggled perversely. "Was she now? I'm happy for you two. Considering your professions, it is difficult enough as it is."
Minato returned his gaze to the sky. Oh what Kakashi didn't know, would shock him indefinitely. What he had left Kushina on her request. 'God I love that woman so much.' He thought with happiness. 'I just wish I could be with her and help. But she didn't want me there for whatever crazy reason.'
Minato would have no idea the gravity of what he had done. Or what Kushina had done depending on how you look at it. What they had done together, would affect the world, and the way of living for two sides of a war. Piracy, and Military. Thieves and the Law. Greatness starts from small beginnings. But it also starts from grand beginnings. And odd beginnings.
Next chapter we will see the actual cast of the fic. This was more of a prologue, so sorry if it disappointed. Yes, this fic will be NaruHina. Don't expect me to really write any other pairing that involves Naruto. I tolerate NaruSaku, NaruAnko, and NaruShion. Sorry again if this disappoints. Thank you for reading this. Read and Review as always. Oh, and I do not own Naruto.
