The biggest lie he heard that morning was voiced by his second in command, an obnoxious blond whose mind was set only on ramen and treasures. "Don't worry!" said the dobe "That ship is so small it barely holds a canon. It's like stealing candies from toddlers. " Then he grinned and jumped on the deck to sharpen his 'mighty' sword.
This was not a piece of cake. Not by far.
Not only the small shop held a canon. Oh, no. It had seven of them, all armed and ready to fire. Which they did.
"They must have a hell of a captain" said the blond again, from his right, both drifting away from the wreck on pieces of their own home . His face was green and he was clinging with his own might to the wood and the captain suspected he'll see ramen in the near future. Not a pretty picture.
It was then when a big shadow fell over them and he glanced up to see the hard wood of the enemy ship. It looked bigger up close, but not by much. The tides were splashing against it sending foam all over their soaked forms. A ladder was suddenly hauled over board, smacking the unsuspected blond right in the head. He whined and hurled the remains of his lunch in the sea, in the other side of the captain. Fortunately.
The ladder jiggled when none of them made a move to grab it.
"It looks like a trap." Said the captain, moving some of his black bangs from his eyes.
"Well, it's either death by drowning, starving or a bullet to the head." Came the response.
They stared at each other and nodded. Bullet it was.
The captain grabbed the ladder with a bit of difficulty as his right shoulder was dislocated. But being the superior kind of human he climbed it anyway, the blond hot on his heals. To say he was surprised when he saw the crew was an understatement. There were all women, and not many of them either.
There was a loud thud behind him, followed by an equally loud gasp. His second in command made it to the deck and he was starring like a dumb man at them. He had to admit, they were all beautiful in their own exotic way. Despite their appearance, they sent dangerous vibes. It screamed death. Well, that and the six guns all pointed to their pretty little heads.
"Well, well, well, look who came right in time for a late lunch, girls" said a voice above them. Men raised their eyes but the sun was too bright to see. The black haired captain made some shade with his good arm while the blond squinted. There, on the main veil, was a slim, dark figure. All women around them either smirked or laughed.
Then the figure wrapped a rope around it's arm and jumped. There was a moment when the time stopped but then all came in clearly. It was a soft sound when the figure landed before them, right between a blond haired girl with blue eyes and a brown lavender haired one whose eyes were freakishly pale.
The woman was beautiful. Chin length hair that was an unusual shade of pink and the biggest eyes he ever saw. It was like the ocean itself was trapped inside those green pools that stared into your soul. The captain blamed the sun for that description. "I'm sure she'll be ugly as fuck after I get my mind back" he trough, not knowing how wrong he was. Sure, she was not the most beautiful woman he laid eyes on, but she had a thing that wrapped you around her little finger and made you her slave. "Definitely the sun" .
She grinned at them both, scanning them from head to toes and taking in their soaked and destroyed clothes. Her nose scrunched in an adorable kind of way while landing on his right arm.
"What's your name?" she asked his friend as she waved her crew's guns down. They obeyed immediately.
'N-naruto Uzu-zu-maki" rasped the blond next to him. The captain glanced at his shivering form. His tan face was unusually pale and his lips blue. He did not felt the cold from the tides as his shoulder took all his attention. It was throbbing painfully.
The pink haired woman tilted her head to the side and nodded to another blonde on the deck. The woman turned quickly and the captain could see her hair pinned into four spiked ponytails. She returned from under the deck holding two black blankets.
"Thank you, Temari"said the ship's captain as Temari dropped the blankets at the blonde's feet "No problem, Captain" her voice held respect.
Naruto took one and wrapped himself in it, shivering . His companion eyed it suspiciously.
"It's not going to bite you" laughed a brown haired girl on the left. Her hair was pinned into two buns and she was covered from head to toe in all sorts of weapons. Naruto's shivers reduced but he still looked like he was ready to collapse.
The young man carefully squatted and grabbed the other blanket not taking his eyes of the women. Sure, they were nice enough to bring them something to dry and warm up, but he was positive there was a reason behind it. So he accepted the offer reluctantly, watching his injured shoulder as he wrapped the blanket around himself.
"Aren't you going to ask mine too?" said the black haired man. He didn't know what possed him.
The woman before him gave a mirthful laugh in response and shook her head, pink locks framing her face, her green eyes lit with humor. "Oh, but I already know your name, Sa-su-ke"
His eyes narrowed and he was instantly on alert. Who was she and how did she know his name? His inner turmoil was covered by the emotionless façade he always wore, but he tightened the blanket around his form. The Captain eyes burned green fire as she took in his reaction. Her smile widened as he glared at her.
"How do you know my name?" he demanded.
There was a long pause, anticipation crawling slowly up his spine. He was ready to dive into the ocean, taking Naruto with him. But then Sasuke heard her voice again and focused on the words.
"My second in command asked me to save your sorry asses. You see, I trust him to make the right decision" she took three steps closer stopping too close for his comfort. She smelled like gunpowder and peaches. "Strange combination for a strange woman". She barely reached his chin but somehow he was feeling like he was the short one. The Captain tilted her chin up, lips nearly brushing his chin as she spoke. "After all, you Uchihas do make a girl's day interesting".
All the blood left his face as he processed her words. The captain put some distance between them waiting for his reaction. Sasuke's mind spinned too fast as he took in the information.
Uchihas were a very powerful clan of pirates, ravaging The Seven Seas left and right until a night when they all died inexplicably. All that was left from the ghost ships was a five year old boy clinging to an wooden crate with all his might. Sasuke felt like the world did a back flip without telling him, witch wasn't really that far from truth. In only a day his ship was destroyed baring only two survivors, he was captured by the ship that destroyed his and now he found out there was another survivor from the family he know was certain it was dead and buried on the bottom of the ocean.
"You're lying" was all he managed to say. The Captain laughed shortly. She turned to the main veil and looked up again.
"Itachi" she called and Sasuke finally felt the cold his clothes burned into his skin.
A tall man walked slowly toward the group and stopped right behind the pink haired woman.
"Hello, brother" he said, but Sasuke only heard it faintly as the world back flipped again, this time bringing him down with it.
Hey, guys. I've been thinking about an Naruto AU for a while and decided why not. Who doesn't want to see a pirate universe with our beloved characters running around and stealing treasures? :D
Should I continue? Should I delete this? Give me your opinion.
Dm me if you want me to write a story :D
Disclamer: I do not own Naruto, nor any characters inside this universe.
