Disclamer: Little Mermaid belongs to Han's Christian Anderson, but the happier version we know and love belongs to Disney, Naruto belongs to Masashi Kishimoto
ItaNaru Little Merman
Chapter one: Fathoms below
It was a misty morning over the ocean as dolphins slashed and played about the waves.
Seagulls flew and landed in the water and seemed to speak to the dolphins.
A grand ship appeard out of the mist and the seagulls took flight and the dolphins swam away.
On the ship humans were fishing. They were also singing.
I'll tell you a tale of the bottomless blue And it's hey to the starboard heave ho.
Look out lad a mermaid be waiting for you In mysterious fathoms below.
Fathoms below,
Below,
From whence wayward westerlies blow.
Where Minato is king and his merpeople sing In mysterious fathoms below.
On the ship a young man with long darkend hair, and deep grey eyes, leaned against the rail.
This was crown prince Itachi Uchiha.
Beside him his younger brother also leaned against the rail but he had his head in his arms and he was bored.
Itachi did not show it but he was in pure, bliss right at this moment.
Itachi loved the sea. Every morning from his window he would watch the sun rise over the deep, blue waters. Every evening when the sun set it painted the sea beautiful shades of red, yellow, orange and pink that mixed with deepening blues.
He loved the sound, the sight even the smell of the sea and the feel of the wind andf the waves on his face.
He took a deep breath and sighed. He stood up and walked along the ship. He saw his advisor Sarutobi leaning over the side, seasick.
He stood up and took Itachi's shoulder still breathing heavily. Itachi shook his head.
The sailors were in a good mood.
"A fine strong wind and a following sea.
King Minato must be in a friendly type mood today."
Itachi stared at the sailor. "King Minato?"
He asked eyebrow raised in mild interest.
Another sailor stepped up. "Why, the ruler of the merpeople lad, thought every good sailor knew about him."
Sarutobi shook his head. "Merpeople. Itachi, pay no attention to this nonsence."
The sailor went up to him. "It ain't nonsence, it's the truth! I'm telling you down in the depths of the ocean the live all over the place!"
Itachi leaned against the railing. Wether merpeople existed or not he didn't know.
But he did wonder what life would be like deep under the sea.
