The Gokai Shinobi!
Just an idea I had in my mind. If you like it, I'll continue it.
Prologue:
It wasn't the first time Sasuke felt dumbfounded about the class dead-last Uzumaki Naruto. The first time Sasuke was confounded by the blond-haired boy was almost three years ago. He had been training late perfecting his skills on one of the training fields in Konoha. The fields were more open than the areas near his house and he didn't want to set the forest around his clan's complex on fire. He was driven, not stupid mind you. It was then he noticed someone else on the training field. Uzumaki Naruto was laying on one of the neighboring hills. Annoyed that his private training was no longer so, he went to tell the dead-last to leave. When he reached the boy, he was startled when the boy spoke before he did.
"Hey Sasuke," Naruto began, without even moving. "If you had the power to obtain true freedom, would you take it?"
"What are you talking about?" Sasuke couldn't help but ask.
"You know...true freedom, to do whatever you want, whenever you want, others be damned. To be free of any obligations and to simply be you."
Sasuke stared dumbfounded at the blond as he considered his words. To be free...truely free. To be free of Itachi, free of any obligations of his clan, free to do whatever he desired.
"I'd be a fool not to," Sasuke answered after a while of silence.
"A fool huh..." Naruto slowly got to his feet. He turned his head towards Sasuke with a grin on his face. "Sometimes, it takes a fool to go for it."
Ever since then, Sasuke noted that Naruto slowly changed. First it was subtle. He was still the troublemaker he was, but he attended every class. He always wore this...grin on his face, as if he knew something everyone else didn't. His pranks slowed to a stop as did his love of orange. The boy started to wear a red hoodie and black pants.
"Still trying to decipher him out Sasuke?" Someone asked him. He turned his vision to see the number one Gossip in the class Yamanaka Ino. Ino's relationship with Sasuke was much different that most would think. To most, Ino was just another fan girl after Sasuke. To those who knew the truth, Sasuke and Ino were just friends. They became friends after she helped him pick flowers for his clan's mass grave, morbid I know. She got to see a side of Sasuke that most girls wish they could see and decided that while he was cute, Sasuke was not the boy for her. Which was fine for Sasuke, he really did appreciate having one less fan girl after him. 1% is better than 0% he supposed.
"Yeah...He just failed the test and yet hes still smirking. Something must be up." Sasuke replied with a frown.
"Want to tail him later?"
"Yeah..."

Naruto sat against the shed with a frown on his face. A lot of people don't know is that Naruto is a Natural Born Sensor. It's how he's able to avoid even ANBU level ninja. And right now, his senses were picking up a lot of things.
The first thing he sensed was that Mizuki was closing in on him right on time. What was worst was Iruka-sensei, who the blonde didn't expect to come was closing in fast on him as well. And even more so, he could sense Sasuke and Ino hiding nearby as well.
'Ah well...can't be helped,' Naruto mentally sighed. They always said that plans never survive the first encounter.
"Naruto!" Said boy sighed outloud this time as Iruka bursted through the trees and landed near by. "Do you know what you did?!"
"I know what I did, but do you?" Naruto sighed as he ran his hand through his spiky blond hair. "Oi Ino, Sasuke, come out too." Iruka was shocked when said Genin burst from the trees.
"How did you know we were here?" Ino asked confused.
"I could sense you...DUCK!" All four ninja hit the floor as demon wheel shuriken impacted into the shed behind Naruto.
"So you set me up, didn't you brat?" a voice sneered as Mizuki appeared on a tree branch above them.
"That was the plan...or didn't they teach you that you shouldn't trust a ninja...or a pirate...Zangyack Scum." Naruto said bored tone.
The others were confused by Naruto's words but gasped as Mizuki landed in front of them, his body already mutating.
"So you know that as well…How, I wonder, the Kyuubi brat found me out, zoi…" Mizuki said as he mutated into a giant tiger monster with drills on his shoulders.
"Heh…I'm much more than the Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi," Naruto announced Shocking Iruka and confusing Sasuke and Ino. They wondered what a Jinchuuriki was and how did it relate to Naruto and the Kyuubi. "Iruka, take Sasuke and Ino. Go."
"No Naruto, I'm not leaving you here!" Iruka yelled as he moved into a fighting stance.
"Then…at least protect them," Naruto said as he moved towards the monstrous Mizuki, now Zukizoiger. "It's about to get…showy."
"What?" Iruka asked confused.
"Showy?" Sasuke and Ino asked equally confused.
All of their confusion didn't matter to Naruto, as he pulled out a device. It looked like a phone yet it had what looked like a pair of silver cutlasses on it. It had a key hole in the middle.
"It can't be!" Zukizoiger announced shocked.
"It is," Naruto announced as he pulled out a small red figurine that turned into a key. He palmed the key as he pointed his hand forward. "GOKAI CHANGE!" He inserted the key into the phone and turned it and it opened up.
GO~KAIGER!
Suddenly there was a red light and there stood not Naruto, but a figure in red. In one hand was a weird sword and another weird looking weapon. (look up Gokai Red on google)
"Uzumaki Naruto…Gokai Red…at your service."
"Damn you! I should've known a Super Sentai Warrior would've come, but I didn't think you would be it zoi!" Zukizoiger roared as he charged at Naruto.
"Then let's make this showy!" Naruto replied charging at the monster. He jumped over the monster delivering a slash to its shoulder before slashing it twice in the back. It roared as it quickly turned around and delivered a slash to Naruto's chest sending him flying back.
"Not bad," Naruto admitted as he pulled out another key. "GOKAI CHANGE!"
Everyone watched as a red X appeared and covered Naruto transforming him again.
"KAKURANGER!"
Now Naruto looked like a Red Ninja.
"I'll take you down like a true ninja. Kakuryuu Ninpo…Wake Mi no Jutsu!" One became five as they all rushed the monster striking him several times before returning back to the owner of the attack. Suddenly the monster rushed at Naruto at speeds unseen and tackled into a tree.
"Ha! Puny ninja," Zukizoiger roared picking up the now returned Gokai Red up and tossing him around. "Your palour tricks don't work on me Zoi!"
Meanwhile Sasuke and Ino grimaced. Naruto was fighting this monster with this strange power and was losing. He needed help, badly. Suddenly a voice rang out between them.
"You want to help out the Captain?" They both looked down between them to see…a mechanical bird?
"Who or what are you?"
"I'm Navi, Captain Naruto's navigator! And I asked you if you want to help the Captain?"
Sasuke looked back at Naruto, valiantly fighting back against the monster. Suddenly Naruto's words from that day made sense. It didn't matter to Naruto if he didn't become a Ninja, because he could be what he is now, fighting off those creatures and getting strong. He was free to choose his destiny…
"I want to fly free…" Sasuke announced, causing Navi and Ino to look at the Uchiha. "Navi, does Naruto have a crew?"
"No a single person, just him and I!" Navi announced.
"Then allow me to be his first mate." Sasuke replied with a grin. "I want to fly free like he does."
"I'll help too…" Ino announced. "To be free…that sounds nice!"
"Then take these!" The bird eyes glowed and they received the strange device as well. "These are Mobilates. With these you can help the Captain!"
"Right!" Sasuke and Ino nodded before rushing past Iruka!
"Hey wait, where are you two going?!"
"We're going to fly free!" Sasuke yelled back.
"Fly…free?" Iruka then sighed. "Those kids would be the death of me."
Meanwhile Naruto was knocked out of his ranger form a few yards away.
"Not so tough now are you, zoi!" Zukizoiger taunted. "I'll not only kill you, but I'll bring back the legendary Gokai Galleon back to the Zangyack Armada!"
Suddenly Zukizoiger got hit in the back causing him to fly away from Naruto. Naruto looked up to see…
"Sasuke…Ino…what are you…"
"First Mate Uchiha Sasuke reporting for duty, Captain Naruto," Sasuke interrupted him, helping the downed blond up.
"I haven't figured out what I can do, but I am also reporting for duty Captain," Ino said dusting Naruto off a bit.
"Captain…" Naruto suddenly realized what was happening and grinned. "Heh…alright."
"ZOI! You brats will pay for that!" The monster roared as he looked at the three teens.
"Heh…that's where you're wrong, Zangyack scum…" Naruto announced. "Second rule of dealing with a Ninja or Pirate…never assume your opponent is alone. Ready?"
"Ready!"
"GOKAI CHANGE!" the monster growled as not only did Naruto transform, but also Sasuke and Ino as well. Soon there were three rangers standing before him.
"Uzumaki Naruto…Gokai Red." Naruto said as he flared his collar.
"Uchiha Sasuke….Gokai Blue." Sasuke announced as he ran his hand over his helmet.
"Yamanaka Ino…Gokai Yellow." Ino flared out a peace sign as she semi-corssed her arms.
"Kaizoku Sentai…GOKAIGER!" They all announced.
"Lets end this…showy." Naruto announced as he took his ranger key and put it in a slot on his cutlass with Sasuke and Ino doing the same.
"FINAL WAVE!" They all swung their sword sending a Red, Blue, and Yellow shockwave towards the Monster striking it.
"I can't believe I lost to a bunch of…Kids! Zooooooooooooi~!" Zukizoiger yelled as it died exploding. The three Gokaigers sighed as they reverted back to normal.
"So…you do this often?" Sasuke asked Naruto who turned to his self-proclaimed first mate before laughing.
"I have a feeling this will probably be a re-occurring theme. Come on, we need to get Iruka and return to the village." Naruto announced.
"Say, Naruto…" Ino asked as they walked back towards Iruka. "Why didn't ANBU show up?"
Both boys stopped in their tracks. That was odd. Usually ANBU was on top of things when it came to not only Naruto but village security, both of them technically compromised.
"I don't know…but something tells me that we'll find out sooner or later." Naruto said grimly
