Chapter 1

In the middle of the sea was a gray and impenetrable wall of fog. Sailing through the fog was a massive ship that was dubbed the Sea Lion. It also happen to be a massive Japanese Dreadnaught that was part of the Japanese government. It was formidable, frightening and had 25 guns ports on each side.

Onboard the massive dreadnaught on the bow of the ship was a young girl around the age of 12. She wore a cream-colored dress and had short dark-blue hair and moon-white eyes. Her family was part of the Hyuga clan in Japan and her name was Hinata Hyuga. Hinata also happen to be the daughter of the current governor, Hiashi Hyuga.

What Hinata was doing was singing a song. But not just any song. It was a song about pirates. From some strange reason, Hinata has always had this big fascination for pirates. Although, she couldn't exactly explain why though.

"Yo, ho, yo, ho, a pirate's life for me…"

Suddenly, before she could sing any further, Hinata became started when a man with black hair and thick eyebrows startled her. He was a sailor on the ship that went by the name of Might Guy.

"Don't sing more than you've sung already, Hyuga girl," Guy warned her. "From what I gather, cursed pirates sail these waters. You don't want to call them down on us, do you?"

Shaking nervously at the thought of it and the way Guy made it sound, Hinata replied, "No… no, Mr. Guy."

"Mr. Guy," spoke a young man, dressed up in the garments of the Royal Army named Toneri Otsutsuki. Standing next to him was the Governor, Hiashi Hyuga. "I think you've said enough to Miss Hyuga already. That will do for now."

"I didn't mean any by it, sir," Guy apologized. "Still, you can't be too careful. One shouldn't be singing about pirates in this unnatural fog. It's bad luck."

"I don't base things on luck, Mr. Guy," Toneri told him. "But I will make a note of that. To your station."

"Aye, Captain," Guy replied, as he went to his station mumbling. "It's even bad luck to have a woman onboard as well. They're usually perfect prey for pirates."

Standing in front of Toneri, Hinata said, "I don't mean to sound odd, Mr. Otsutsuki, but I think it would be interesting to meet a pirate."

Toneri patted Hinata on the head and replied, "I would rather you think again, Miss Hyuga. Pirates happen to be violent and vile creatures on the face of the Earth. As Captain, I must make it my job that any pirate that crosses my path ends up with a rope on his neck."

Hinata became a bit frightened since she knew very well that when a pirate is captured, he is most likely to receive the death sentence at the gallows.

Interrupting was Hiashi as he spoke to Toneri. "Captain Otsutsuki, I appreciate your statement there. However, I do advise you refrain from speaking about this subject to my daughter."

"Yes, of course," Toneri agreed. "My apologies, Governor Hyuga." Toneri resumed with his duties.

Turning to her father, Hinata still put on a brave face and replied, "Actually, father, I still find all this topic about pirates quite fascinating."

"Yes," Hiashi nodded. "That's what concerns me. Just try not to think too much about it."

As Hiashi followed after Toneri, Hinata looked back at the bow of the ship. Very little of the sea was visible. Suddenly, something came to view. There was an umbrella floating in the water, which puzzled Hinata. Then a figure came into view. There was a large board and floating on it was a young boy about her age with spiky blonde hair.

Shocked by this, Hinata alerted the crew. "Help! There's a boy in the water!"

Hearing Hinata's cries, Toneri, Hiashi and the crew looked over on the side of the boat and spotted the young boy immediately.

"Man overboard!" Toneri shouted. "Fetch a hook, men! Haul him out of there!"

Reacting quickly, the sailors use a boathook snag the boy. Toneri and Hiashi haul him overboard and lay him on the deck. Toneri pressed his fingers on his neck and still felt a pulse.

"He's alive," Toneri informed everybody.

"Where did he come from?" Hinata asked.

"God almighty," Might Guy spoke with shock.

Attention is turned away from the boy as everyone looked to see what Might Guy was looking at. The sea was no longer empty. Straight ahead was a wreckage from a ship, along with the bodies of the crew. What was left of the ship was now burning.

"What happened here?" Hiashi wondered.

"It had to have been an accident with the powder magazine," Toneri presumed.

"Ha!" Guy laughed. "The chances of that happening are very low. I think everyone's thinking so, I'm already claiming what caused all of this… pirates!"

Hiashi sighed. "But there's no proof of that, Mr. Guy. As Toneri said, it was probably an accident with the powder magazine. Captain Otsutsuki, if there is even the slightest chance one of poor devils is still alive, we cannot abandon them."

"Of course not, Governor Hyuga," Toneri agreed as he gave his men their orders. "Come about and strike the sails! Unleash the boats! Gunnery crew, jackets off the cannon! Hope for the best, prepare for the worse!"

As the sailors moved the boy elsewhere on the boat, Hiashi looked at his daughter and said, "Hinata, I want you to keep the boy company. He's in your charge now. You'll watch over him, won't you?"

"Yes, father, I will," Hinata agreed, as she went over where the sailors laid the boy.

While the sailors busied themselves to scurry the wreckage of the boat for survivors, Hinata got out a blanket to keep the boy warm. As soon as she laid the blanket on top of him, the boy gasped, reacting quickly as he grabbed Hinata's right wrist. Hinata became startled, but try to calm him down.

"Sshhh, it's alright," Hinata assured the boy. "You're safe now."

"Where am I?" the boy asked, breathing heavily.

"You're onboard the Sea Lion," Hinata answered. "My name is Hinata Hyuga. What's your name?"

"Uzumaki," the boy replied. "Naruto Uzumaki."

Hinata smiled. "It's nice to meet you, Naruto. I'll be watching over you."

Naruto didn't say anything else and passed out, still exhausted from the events that happened.

Suddenly, Hinata happened to notice what looked like a necklace hanging down from Naruto. Curious of what the necklace was, Hinata took a good look at it. The necklace was a golden color. She happen to notice a symbol on it and recognized what it was. The symbol on the necklace was that of the Uchiha clan. She was familiar with the Uchiha who were a family of notorious pirates that sailed the seven seas.

"You're a… pirate," Hinata gasped with shock. She assumed that Naruto must of have been a member of the Uchiha's crew.

"Did he speak?" Toneri asked, startling Hinata, who quickly hid the necklace from Toneri's view.

Hinata answered immediately. "His name is Naruto Uzumaki. That's all I found out."

Toneri nodded and gave the sailor their orders on Naruto. "Take him below." The sailors nodded as they carried Naruto below deck.

Hinata quickly steals away from the stern of the ship to examine the necklace she took from Naruto. Then something else came into a view that the sailors did not even notice. Out over the sea, sailing away and moving through the fog, silent as the ghost, was an enormous ship that had black sails and the symbol of a skull with two swords crossed below it.

The sight of the ship frightened Hinata that she could barely even scream or alert anybody. As the ship sailed away into the fog, Hinata would always remember the sight of it.

5 years later

Hinata Hyuga was now 17-years-old now. She had grew into a beautiful young woman. Instead of the shot hair she had as a child, her hair had grown longer. Hinata had just woken up, relieving the same dream from the day she spotted the pirate ship 5 years ago.

Looking around her bedroom to make sure no one was around. Very sure she was alone, Hinata took the candle that was by her bed and went over to the dressing table, pulling one of the drawers out and reaches into the space to pull something out hidden beneath. What she took out was the same necklace she took from Naruto 5 years ago. She put on the necklace as she couldn't help but be mesmerized by it.

Suddenly, Hinata became startled when there was a knock on her door.

"Hinata," spoke her father, Hiashi. "Is everything alright?"

Knowing her father couldn't see the necklace, Hinata quickly hid it in her bosom where no one would be able to notice it. "Um… yes… yes, everything is fine, father. I just barely got up."

Coming in the room with Hiashi were the handmaidens. "Well, it's about time you got on and about, Hinata. It's such a beautiful day. You shouldn't be sleeping on a day like this."

As one of the handmaidens opened the curtains and windows, the other handmaiden opened a box as Hiashi took it out. "I have a gift for you." Handing it to his daughter, Hinata saw it was a dress that was a mix of blue and violet. She absolutely loved the dress.

"It's beautiful," Hinata said, amazed by the beauty of it. "Thank you, father."

"I thought you'd like it," Hiashi smiled.

"Then again, you wouldn't normally buy a dress as beautiful as this unless it had something to do with a special occasion," Hinata suspected.

"As always, you are very sharp on these things, Hinata," Hiashi replied. "Yes, indeed. Today is a special occasion."

"And what occasion might that be?" Hinata asked, as she hid behind a screened-off dressing area as the handmaidens helped her in the dress.

"Well, as it turns out, there will be a ceremony held today," Hiashi told Hinata. "This ceremony is a celebration of Toneri's promotion to Captain to Major."

"Really?" Hinata replied, surprised by the news. "Well, then I'm happy for him. He deserves it after all those years of hard work and loyal service to our family."

"Indeed, he does," Hiashi agreed. "Toneri is a fine gentleman, don't you think? He's really taken a keen interest in you lately."

Behind the screen, Hinata gasps as the handmaidens tightened a corset around her body.

Concerned of what was happening, Hiashi asked, "Hinata, are you okay? How is the dress coming anyway?"

"I can't really say I fancy the corset," Hinata answered honestly.

"Well, from what I gather, they say it's the latest fashion to women," said Hiashi.

"Latest fashion?" Hinata questioned. "I don't understand how women can wear something that makes it difficult for them to breathe in."

As the handmaidens were finishing helping Hinata into the dress, the butler walks into the room to speak to Hiashi. "My Lord, you have a visitor?"

The visitor downstairs happen to be the boy that was saved 5 years ago, Naruto Uzumaki. He was dressed up very fancy as he waited for Hiashi downstairs. His spiky blonde hair had grown out a bit and the job he was working at was a Blacksmith that specialized in making swords.

After a while, Hiashi finally arrived downstairs. The reason for Naruto's arrival was to deliver a sword for Toneri due to his promotion to Captain to Major. Naruto didn't want to disappoint Toneri and worked very hard to make the best sword Toneri could possess.

"Naruto," Hiashi spoke. "Good to see you again."

"Same here, Mr. Hyuga," Naruto replied, greeting himself. "I have the sword that you requested." Opening up the case he carried, Naruto revealed the sword as he unsheathed it. "The blade is folded steel with some gold filigree I added on. It's perfectly balanced and the handle is almost as long as the blade."

Examining the sword as Naruto held it up, Hiashi nodded with approval. Sheathing back the sword and into its case, Hiashi replied, "Impressive. Very well done, Naruto. Major Otsutsuki is going to be very pleased with this. As always, your master creates the most excellent swords."

Naruto's face falls flat, but he doesn't show it. Clearly, this was his word and proud of it. His so called master, Motoi, was nothing more than a mere drunk who sleeps all day.

"Oh, yeah, my master works day and night trying to create these swords with every inch of his body," Naruto said, twitching behind Hiashi's back, annoyed he was getting the compliment he deserves. Mumbling, he said to himself, "I swear of the next person doesn't give me credit, I'm going to stick the next sword up his ass."

Hearing someone coming downstairs, Hiashi and Naruto looked and saw it was Hinata in her beautiful blue and violet dress. Naruto couldn't help but be amazed by her beauty. Ever since the day he met Hinata, he never could take his eyes off of her. As a child, he thought Hinata was the most beautiful girl he ever met. Sure, there were plenty of women, but none like Hinata in his eyes.

"Hinata, you look so beautiful," Hiashi complimented.

"Thank you, father," Hinata replied, feeling embarrassed and immediately recognized Naruto as she rushed over to him. "Naruto, I'm so glad to see you again. You know, I sort of had a dream about you last night."

"About me?" Naruto said, blushing a bit.

"Well, it was a dream I had about the day we met," Hinata told him. "Do you remember?"

"That's one memory I'll never forget," Naruto smiled. Hinata smiled back at him as well.

"As much as we would like to chat, Naruto, we really must be going," said Hiashi. "The ceremony will be starting pretty soon and we can't afford to be late."

Opening the doors to get moving, Hinata looked back at Naruto and replied, "I guess I'll see you later, Naruto."

"Yeah, me too," Naruto concurred as he watched Hinata leave.

Little were they both unaware that an unexpected visitor was arriving that would soon change their lives forever.
