In the cruel sun she watched the two digimon stand most likely waiting for the ship to stop with a very shocked look. The new digimon she just saw looked too much like an human but she regained her composure and told the others.

Tai who was the uncrowned leader of their group found this kind of interesting but he was still feeling down from the skullgreymon incident.

"Let's see if they are friendly or not. I don't wish to see them suffer in this heat." He said with smile as he didnt want others to worry as he was trying fight this battle himself. The other agreed as the entry didn't mention that it was aggressive and it was just a rookie digimon so they could always fight it off.

The ship came to a stop and Naruto boarded along with Sparky, he was all smiles at seeing humans once agains.

"Hello there my name is Uzumaki Naruto, thanks for stopping it was really troublesome moving in the heat."

His friendly tone made their worries take a back seat as they introduced themselves.

We dont mind its not our place either as we are in the position as you taking a free ride. Tai said as he walked to his place to relax and think on his actions.

Sora, Izzy, TK and Mimi found Naruto be really an interesting digimon so they talked with him and he was happy to oblige as a conversation partner.

"Hey hey Naruto do you actually feel like humans?" Mimi asked carefreely

"Why not, i am human."Naruto said in confusion as he didn't understand what she meant.

The kids were surprised at his ignorance and felt sad for him. Sora was the most outgoing and courageous amongst them so she said in simple way, "Naruto, you are not human but a digimon. You might think that is a lie but see this device it shows that you are one."

Hearing her words Naruto didn't what to feel, he was a digimon but did that change anything for him. As he thought it didn't but a weird thought entered his mind, 'Narutomon digivolves to hokagemon.'

As the kids watched Naruto his expression changed from contemplative to a stupid smile, they did not understand what he was thinking but they got one thing he was like Mimi.

'Well it's better than having an existential crisis.' sora thought with wry smile.

"Well i believe you guys but it doesn't really matter, i am still naruto and i still have all my powers so no biggie." Naruto said with a shrug

"It's better this way. Did you have trouble in the desert?" Izzy enquired

"Nah, just some trees and some large lizards. Nothing that was really strong." He said nonchalantly

Izzy felt his caution reduce but Sparky decided to intervene, "Don't listen him, the large trees he is mentioning were champion level digimon. The guy is really strong, i can't believe you said he is a rookie."

This time they were completely astonished at the words while Naruto felt embarrassed by their looks, "Guys it was nothing so dont look me at like that just because i am awesome doesn't mean i like people staring at me."

"Sorry" , they all said with embarrassment at losing their cool and being rude.

"No problem it happens just don't make it a common occurrence just because you lost to the uzumaki shine." Naruto said laughingly while he started taking off his cloth.

"What are you doing?" Sora asked as she looked at his figure which was really different than the other boys.

"Going for swim. Sparky lets go and cool down." He didn't wait before he was only in his boxers and dived into the swimming pool.

"Fuu, that's so much better come on Sparky."

Sora watched as he played around with his friend and her curiosity led to her asking, "What did you before being here."

"I am a shinobi and i take missions, which can be anything." Naruto remembered some annoying ones.

But to Sora that occupation only implied assassins so she thought he was someone who killed people with poisons and such, causing her opinion to fall for him and she went away to warn the others to be careful.

Naruto didn't understand Sora's silence and shrugged his shoulders and went back to playing. After enjoying the swim, he ate food which was provided on the ship and went to take a short nap.


The boys were the only ones visible on the ship while the girls had left to the toilet, the captain was a digimon called Cockatarimon and he had decided it was time to strike as the children were completely off guard.

As the boys were sleeping on their seats Cockatarimon without making any noise used his petrification beam on them and their partners. As he approached the Naruto duo with his malice clear, ' Master etemon is sure to reward me for this job well done.' he thought as he was about to shoot at Naruto.

Unfortunately Naruto was not just a normal boy like others but a veteran of many battles, he sensed danger when it was very close and dodged at the last moment. He landed a bit further away from the digimon on the water as he rubbed hai eyes from sleepiness, "Hey what's the meaning of this, i thought you were a good guy."

"Shut up brat and became a stone statue." Cockatarimon was annoyed that he just missed a rookie digimon, it might be shame on his career for a long time.

Naruto crouched down and took some water to wash his face to clear his vision and he was blasted again but once again he dodged.

"Stop jumping around"

"Why not but it's time for you to disappear." Naruto said with a serious expression as he started operating his chakra to enhance his body and made two clones. The smoke covered them up and went back into the water. Naruto made the rasengan as he didnt want to take risk with such an opponent and while the digimon was looking around Naruto got him from the side.

The rasengan collided with its body and twisted its body in many directions, while dragging it off the ship. Naruto knew it was dead when he saw the strange symbols entering his body.

The girls returned from their bathroom break when they saw the mess and the groggy boys who had returned to normal.

"What just happened?" Sora asked

"I felt like a rock what was that." Matt said in confusion

"Yeah i also had that dream so weird." Tai said while rubbing his hair.

"Hmm, the captain of the ship attacked us. He seemed to be working for a guy named Etemon." Naruto said as he calmed his body down.
