Sound of a Jinchuuriki Chapter 2, a Naruto + One Piece Crossover fanfic

Naruto walked into class. He saw Sasuke already there and nodded to him. The two kept their distance while at school. Naruto wasn't well liked and he refused to let those feelings spread to his only friend. His blue long coat hung tight to him thanks to the guitar on his back. His blue jeans and black steel toes boots with white t-shirt were his normal attire.

Seeing that Iruka-sensei wasn't here yet, he grinned. He formed a single hand sign that was the shape of a cross. Six Kage Bunshin clones appeared. He kind of stole this technique when he was five. The clones all grinned before transforming into some of his class mates.

Shikamaru, "Hello, I am Sloth!" Choji, "I am Glutton!" Ino, "I'm Lust!" Kiba, "I'm Pride!" The next turned into Sakura, "I'm Envy!" The original stayed the same, "Call me Greed!" The last changed into Sasuke. "Guess that makes me Wrath."

The real Naruto took his guitar off his back and started playing. Sloth tapped his foot for the drum. Wrath provided the sounds for accordion. Envy the banjo. Lust the violin. Pride the bass guitar. Glutton the electric guitar.

"So the years rolled by and several died and left us somewhat reelin'. Johnny strummed his Tommy gun, left blastin' through the ceiling. So what became of rebels who sang for you and me? Grapplin' with their demons in the search for liberty.

"Suffers who suffer all can swim upon the desert. Where avarice have ravaged all in spite of good intentions. Don't fill your mouth with gluttony, for pride will surely swell. But nothings unforgiven in the four corners of hell.

"Envy and its evil twin it crepy in bed with slander. Idiots they gave advice but sloth it gave no answer. Anger kills the human soul with bitter tales of lust. While Pavlov's dogs keep chewin' on the legs they never trust.

"But it's the only life we'll know, Blagards to the bone. So don't wreck yourself, take an honest grip. For there's more tales beyond the shore.

"Ah the years rolled by and several died and left us somewhat reelin' In and out came crawlin' out And spewed upon the ceiling So what became of rebels That sang for you and me? Grapplin' with their demons In the search for liberty.

"Sail away where no ball and chain can keep us from the roarin' waves. Together undivided but forever we'll be free. So sail away aboard our rig, the moon is full and so are we. We're seven drunken pirates we're the seven deadly sins. We're seven drunken pirates, we're the seven deadly sins. We're seven drunken pirates,we're the seven deadly sins."

All seven of them sang it. Some of the people imitated looked humiliated, others laughed at the joke it was meant as, and Shikamaru just said, "Troublesome." Neither him nor Choji bother denying it.

Sakura went up and hit the clone that copied her. "You idiot!"

Naruto just laughed as he released the jutsu. "Something wrong, Sakura? Didn't take it too well, eh?" He slipped his guitar on to his back while dodging her punches. "Come on, I used myself in there as well! And you don't see Ino over reacting!"

"That is because she knows she is lust incarnate!"

"Now that isn't very nice," Naruto told her. "What about Kiba and Pride?"

"It fits!"

"Sasuke and Wrath?"

"Sasuke doesn't have a vengeful bone in his body!"

"Now for once we agree." Naruto jumped back just as Iruka came in.

"...Sakura, why are you trying to kill Naruto this time?"

"He... He... UGH!" She stomped over to her seat. Naruto only shrugged to his sensei and sat down in the last available seat, next to Hinata.

"Morning Hinata!"

"G-Good m-morning, Naruto-kun. Uh... Um... Your performance was great, as always," She said in a voice a little above a whisper.

Naruto grinned. "Thanks, Hinata-chan!"

Hinata turned red. 'He called me chan...' She slumped to her desk, unconscious.

Naruto sighed. "Iruka-sensei, Hinata did it again."

Iruka sighed as well. "Do you know the cause this time?"

"Uh, just a second." Naruto pressed his hand to her forehead. "She feels really warm, Iruka-sensei. And her face is flushed."

"The test is today so we can't send her home... Naruto, you and Hinata will go last. Watch her and make sure she is alright."

"Okay," Naruto replied.

—oo000oo—

Naruto performed the Kage Bunshin without a problem. "So, Iruka-sensei, did I pass?"

Iruka looked over his papers. Something seemed off here. "The test itself, yes you did Naruto. But your grades are not high enough to allow you to."

"What!?"

"I am sorry. For the moment, I cannot let you graduate." Naruto missed what he meant by that and left the room down trodden.

"Okay, so I'm not the best with weapons. But I am the strongest at Taijutsu. And my ninjutsu are great as well. How could I not graduate?"

Mizuki had to act quickly. It would not take Iruka long to find the real grades Naruto received. "Naruto, mind if we have a word?"

—oo000oo—

Naruto looked around the vault. This didn't sit well with him but if it worked, he would pass. He was humming so he didn't make a sound. He gave an unheard laugh. Making noise not to be heard, so ironic. 'Hmm, Forbidden Scroll... Sealing Arts... Fujin's Wind..." He could have taken the Forbidden Scroll but Jii-san made him promise never to look in it again after that time when he was five. 'AH HA! Sound and it's uses in Combat!' He grabbed that scroll and took off to the window.

"Naruto, what are you doing here so late?"

Naruto tripped and rolled several feet. He stood back up and started moving his mouth but nothing came out. "Oops, forgot about that. I guess this means I fails Jii-san."

"What are you talking about?"

"That second exam Mizuki-sensei told me about to become a ninja."

"...Naruto, there is no second exam."

"But... Why would he lie?"

"Naruto, did he tell you to get that scroll itself?"

"No. He said to take the Scroll of Forbidden Arts and go to the cottage in the forest. Once there, I was to learn a jutsu inside it and show him it when he got there after a few hours. But I am still keeping my promise to you, Jii-san and not looking in that scroll again. So I looked for a different one. This is the one I found." He held it up so Sarutobi could see. It was the Scroll made by Orochimaru before he left.

"...I'm sorry Naruto, you have been lied to. I want your help in capturing Mizuki for betraying the village." Naruto scowled, he hated traitors. "Continue on with the plan. I will have ANBU follow him when he comes for you."

"Alright, Jii-san."

—oo000oo—

Naruto reached the field and started punching anything he could, more often than not, breaking it. "I'll kill him! I swear he will regret this! The hell he is sent to is going to be sanctuary wen I am done with him!"

After spending another ten minutes reducing trees to splinters, he sat down. He still had the scroll. Opening it, he looked at the first jutsu. "Sound hold the unique property that it is not something the can be blocked. Sound is ethereal, moving in waves. It will hit something but still continue through it. Even if a person does not hear it, the sound waves still hits them.

"...Genjutsu, just great. I am horrible at Genjutsu! ...Know yourself and seat self improvement." He started off with the theory behind this genjutsu.

—oo000oo—

Iruka found it. Someone had altered his grades. He grinned, "Now, I can let Naruto graduate." There was pounding at the door and Iruka opened it. Mizuki stood there.

"Iruka, it is horrible! Naruto has stolen the Scroll of Forbidden Arts!"

Iruka cursed went inside for his ninja gear. Again, that feeling of something being wrong hit him. Naruto has spent more time in the tower then even he had. So why steal the scroll now?

He looked around wondering where Naruto might have been. Suddenly, he just knew where he was. He started out that way.

—oo000oo—

"YES! Time for the next one! ...These Dobi are controlled by sounds created by the summoner. They are able to absorb chakra through the use of ghost. But if the user cannot play the needed notes, they will do nothing. Hmm, no not for me. ...Sound Manipulation. By the use of chakra, the caster controls where the sound waves moves. By doing this, they can damage certain things instead of area targets. Now that one is for me," Naruto yelled. He started doing as the scroll said and got it down just before Iruka-sensei showed up.

"What are you doing here?"

"Me, what about you and stealing the Forbidden Scroll!?"

Naruto frowned. He rolled up the scroll and showed him the title. "This isn't the Forbidden Scroll. Jii-san told me to never look in that scroll. So when Mizuki told me about this test, I took this one instead to complete it. ...Did Jii-san send you?"

The implications of this hit Iruka. Mizuki set them up. But why him? 'Because I know someone altered Naruto's records. And Mizuki is the only one that can besides me.' The sound of something spinning reached his ears. He pushed Naruto out of the way just as several kunai and shurikens hit him. "Mizuki you traitor!"

"Ah, don't say that," Mizuki said. "You'll give Naruto a bad impression of me. Naruto, give me the scroll!"

Instead, Naruto started to laugh. "I hate to break this to you, Mizuki. But I don't have the Scroll of Forbidden Arts. Jii-san said to never look in it again after I learned the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. So I grabbed a different one. One that uses sound to fight."

Mizuki scowled. "You couldn't even do that right! You really are useless to this village! The Fourth made a mistake in choosing you!"

"Shut up! This has nothing to do with the Fourth!"

"You are so very wrong," Mizuki taunted while Iruka was shouting for him to be quiet. "Your life has everything to do with the Fourth. Haven't you ever wondered why no one has ever adopted you?"

"Because my godfather won't et them," Naruto supplied.

"Wrong! Because you are the Nine Tailed Fox! Twelve years ago, when you attacked this village, the Fourth Hokage took the child Naruto and seal you inside of him! Where you devoured his soul! But you lost all memories of yourself when you did!"

"Stop lying, traitor! Jii-san would know!"

"I'm not lying. Want me to prove it? Just channel some chakra and look under your shirt."

Naruto couldn't help but look down. "Fine, I guess the condemned can have a last request!" He channeled a bit and looked. And there it was, bright as day. A seal. From what little he knew about them, this sealed a creature inside a host. "Oh god."

Mizuki laughed. "And so the Nine Tailed Fox realizes why he will never fit in!"

Naruto dropped his shirt, his body shaking. "...So," he asked. He looked up, tears coming from his face but a determination in his eyes. "Even if I am, then so what! Rin-chan and Jii-san still care for me and I care for them! I will do whatever I can to protect them!"

Mizuki had not expected that. "But don't you want revenge? The way these people have treated you!?"

"If what you say is true, then I killed hundreds of people before the Fourth gave me a new life. I can stand a little hatred, I have before. After all... I am a Leaf shinobi!"

Mizuki scowled. "Then die, shinobi!" He took the giant shuriken from his back, started it spinning, and threw it.

"Naruto, look out," Iruka yelled.

There was a clash of metal on metal as the shuriken was knocked away. "Chunin Mizuki, for the attempted murder of Genin Uzumaki Naruto, the betrayal of the Hidden Leaf Village, and the revealing of an S class secret, you are sentence to death, to be carried out immediately," an ANBU with a hawk mask said, his sword still ringing from blocking it.

"Did I forget to mention that Jii-san said he would send some ninja to stop you," Naruto asked.

Another ANBU appeared and knocked Mizuki from the tree he was in. These were Itachi's old teammates and Naruto's friends as well. Ox, up in the tree, grunted and nodded to Tiger. But before she could move, Naruto took his guitar from his back. He started playing a tune and Mizuki was pulled up by something. He arms spread wide, he started screaming in pain.

"Now kill him," Naruto said.

"...Naruto,what did you just do to him?"

"I used a genjutsu on him," Naruto said before he clicked his tongue. His ears twitched and he turned to a tree. "Rat, what are you waiting for?"

The ANBU stepped out from behind the tree. "Just wondering how long till you noticed. So, how did you know?"

Mizuki's screams were suddenly silenced and Naruto swallowed the lump in his throat. "The click I make."

"...That is why you always do that in my class," Iruka said. "Eco-location?"

"Yeah, I got the idea after watching a documentary on dolphins," Naruto confessed. "Took me some time to get the frequency right. Still working on always doing it though."

Iruka should his head. He grabbed Naruto by the shoulder and walked him away. "Oh, before I forget. Close your eyes." Naruto looked at him questioningly. "Trust me, it was worth the wait." Naruto sighed but did as he said. He then felt something get placed around his forehead. "Okay, open them." He saw Iruka no longer had his headband. "Congratulations on graduating." Naruto reached up and felt the headband there. A grin split his face as he hugged the man. "Mizuki altered your records. Now, I did have a speech for you about how hard it is to be a ninja. But I think you would do better with a different one. What you did to Mizuki, he deserved it. And some times it is necessary. But if you ever start to grow to like doing that, Naruto, I want you to quit. Resign your status as I would. You are not the Kyuubi. Nor are you a weapon. And only monsters and weapons feel those things. Okay?"

Naruto considered it. Making Mizuki feel that pain, holding him still for the ANBU to kill. Did he enjoy that? No he didn't. He thought it would give him some satisfaction but in the end, he was only glad the traitor could no longer hurt his village. "Alright, Iruka-sensei."

Iruka looked at the ANBU for a moment to see them set the body on fire, keeping only his head band to show what they had done. These men were cold and ruthless, efficient and calculating, and, in some ways, friends to Naruto. They worked with Itachi and taught Naruto whenever Rin was not able to. Nothing that would make him powerful. They were ordered things that would help with chakra control. Of course, Iruka realized with a grin, telling him of a scroll with Kage Bunshin no Jutsu could fall under that, couldn't it?

"They friends of your's?"

"They taught me a few things," Naruto said as if it was nothing. They came to a fast moving river and Naruto hesitated. Iruka was about to grab him and jump over it but Naruto put a foot atop the water. Followed by another step. Naruto didn't sink so he relaxed and walked across the water. "Well, maybe more than a few things."

He couldn't help himself. Hes started singing a small song, again about pirates. His voice sounded like several people were singing at once. "Shiver my timbers, shiver my soul..."

—oo000oo—

Naruto entered the old Uchiha estates. Neither could live there with the history there. This was the first time he had entered it himself. But he had to see something. Itachi once said that something concerning the Kyuubi was here. He created a Kage Bunshin and that one made as many as he could. Something Tiger pointed out to him. Half his chakra was used to make one. And if that one make more clones, it only took chakra from that clone.

They ran everywhere, checking each building. Ten were dedicated to checking for secret rooms and compartments. Clicking could be heard all over the compound. In the end, the found a small fortune in jewels, a few journals, a secret room full of autographed Icha Icha Tactics, and another with even more embarrassing adult stuff. Needless to say, Naruto slammed the door to that room shut right away.

"Boss," one of the clones called. It was soft, no louder than needed, but it carried from the meeting chambers of the clan council. "I think I found it." A thunk from a fist tapping solid wood was heard. Then came one that had nothing behind it.

Naruto went over there and lifted the trap door. Walking down, he couldn't see a thing. "A torch." One was handed down to him and Naruto saw a mural on the far wall. Going to it, he read what it said. Twice in the last six hours, he lost his bearings on the world. "The Uchiha could control..."

—oo000oo—

"Naruto-nii-san," a little girl said, running up to him She jumped into his arms. "Hello Kushina," Naruto said. "Were you a good girl today?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes! So can you?!"

"Hmm, I don't know. Rin-sensei did tell me not to use it until I became a ninja," Naruto said, teasing her.

She looked really sad for a moment. "But big brother told me you used it in class yesterday!"

"Really? Must have been someone else with the Uta-konsei," Naruto said. It was what he called it, meaning Song Voices.

"There are others," Kushina asked, confused.

"I hope not," Naruto told her. "Can you imagine there being more of me without me using the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!? A nightmare!" He did the hand sign behind her back and a couple hundred clones appeared, all of them singing some song or other, all off tune. "It is much better like this when I can just shut them up going 'poof'!" They all disappeared, making Kushina laugh.

"...Hey, you are a ninja!"

"I am?" A hand came up and felt his headband. "So I am. I guess I could to it for you now." He set her down on the bench and took the guitar off his back. This song had no words. Just the slow playing of the tune. Kushina grinned happily as Naruto used his Oto Oto abilities to draw her into her own little world. It only took a minute before she fell asleep. He could have stopped but he never did for her.

"She got you to do it again, didn't she," Sasuke asked. He came over because he heard his sister's favorite song to get Naruto to play.

"She did," Naruto replied as he continued, the beat picking up.

"One day, you will have to show me if you can play that for real."

"I could break you heart with it," Naruto said. It slowed down again and came to a stop. "I was at the old estates yesterday and found somethings that was missed. There is more there, things I am not going to touch. But I marked where they are hidden." He took the scroll with everything sealed in it and tossed to Sasuke.

"Thanks... So you passed."

"Yeah, there was a mistake in the paperwork. Mine was mixed with someone else's. Iruka found out and got my headband to me before midnight last night."

"That's good. ...Think we will end up on the same team?"

"Don't you know? I have connections," Naruto said with a laugh. "But who to have as a third member?"

Sasuke started to laugh. "No, that would be evil..."

"Who?"

"Haruno Sakura or Hyuuga Hinata."

Naruto laughed. "Sakura I get. I would drive her nuts in three missions. But how would it be evil to Hinata? And you know she doesn't have the best of health."

Sasuke smiled knowingly. "Oh, just a feeling."

"Well, feelings are always something to listen too," Mikoto said as she came up to them. She smiled down at her four year old duaghter. "Right to sleep as always. So, what were you two boys talking about?"

"Who we wanted on a team," they replied. "We narrowed it to Haruno Sakura so we could have a few laughs. But Sasuke said Hyuuga Hinata would be good as well," Naruto continued.

Mikoto smirked. "I think she would."

That surprised both boys. "Why?"

"Have I ever told you about my team?" They should their heads no. "Well, there was my sensei, Lady Tsunade herself, me, the woman that I named my daughter after, Kushina, and Hinata's mother, Aoi. I think it would be a good team to have again."

Sasuke grinned, his mom didn't talk much about her team anymore because she was the last one alive. But whenever she did, she was always happy. "Why would that team be made again? Yeah, you have me and Hinata. But Naruto isn't related to Kushina...is he?"

She smiled, "I can't say. But he has her temperment. And I think he would use her jutsus rather well. You should ask Jiriaya about her next time you see him."

Naruto nodded. "Well, I have a few things I need to do. Returning a scroll to Jii-san being one of them. I just came by to give you that and tell you I graduated. Bye." With a last wave, he left. As he walked away, he wondered what the Uzumaki Kushina was like. But his thought were interrupted by some laughs he recognized anywhere. "Grand uncle!" He followed it to the hot springs and tackled the old man to the ground.

"Yo, kiddo! Why am I not surprised it is you?"

"You've been gone to long, uncle! Hey, Mikoto-san said I should ask you about a woman named Kushina. Who is she?"

Jiriayawent slack face. "...Naruto, you know I acre for you right?"

"Of course."

"And that if I choose not to tell you something, it is because I think it is important right?"

Naruto frowned but nodded. "I know."

"Kushina was the wife of my apprentice, Namikaze Minato, the Fourth. Until you become a Chunin, that is all I can tell you. Got it?"

"Whoa... Mikoto told me I have her temperment."

"You do. And your favorite jutsu was hers as well."

"Now that is cool. But I think I will just be the first Naruto instead of the next Kushina," Naruto said to himself. "Oh, Mikoto-san said I would fill the spot she had if me, Sasuke for herself, and Hinata for Aoi, back when they were a team."

"They were a team, weren't they," Jiriaya asked the air. 'I think the Ino-Shika-Cho trio are getting their children together. Why not the Uzumaki-Uchiha-Hyuuga three?' He pushed Naruto off him. "Off now, I'm too old to lie on the ground."

Naruto got up, making a click with his tongue as he did. He began to blush. "Uncle, were you peeping on the woman over there," he asked in a quiet tone.

He told him to be quiet even though they couldn't hear him. "In all my travels, I have never seen women that inspire me to write more than the ones here."

Naruto grinned, "That is a lot of inspiration. I seen someone's complete autographed collection. But you are doing it all wrong." He blushed again. "Watch a master at work. He transformed into a teenager with his blue eyes but brown hair. And female. "See you in five minutes," she said with a giggle.

Jiriaya jaw dropped for two reasons. One, because he never thought of that. Two, because if Rin found out he had somehow turned her student into a pervert, she was going to falay him and salt the wounds. When finally he picked his jaw off the ground, he looked back through the hole and there he was taking, sitting in the water. He was blushing like mad but you could see he enjoyed it. "I am a dead man if Rin finds out." But he couldn't feel more proud of his godson.

After five minutes, and turning more red when they started splashing water at each other, Naruto felt it had been long enough and walked out. She went back over to his uncle and changed back. "Two things. Who is the man?" Jiriaya only laughed at that, a deep, gut felt one. "Second, I don't think I can hold it back anymore."

"Hold what..." Naruto got a nose bleed that threw him backwards. This only made Jiriaya laugh all the harder.

—oo000oo—

"I'm sorry uncle, I didn't know she would go that far," Naruto said, holding a bag of ice to his uncle's eye.

"Not your fault, Naruto," he replied in a strained voice. "In truth, if I could feel anything right now, it would be pride." Rin had found out. How could she not when Naruto had blood all over his shirt, leading to his nose. And Jiriaya had paid for it.

—oo000oo—

"Yo, old man," Jiriaya said to him when he could move again. "I got a request."

"What is it?"

"It is about Naruto's team. I have a request on who it is."

"...I just wrote down Sasuke and a young woman by the name of Haruno Sakura. You have an objection to that?"

"Just the girl. I think it would be better off being Hyuuga Hinata instead."

The Third scratched his beard. "Now why is that?"

"Because their mothers made an excellent team. And with an exception of Naruto's Oto Oto powers, they use the same skills. Why else?"

Sarutobi grinned. "Because Naruto is too dense about girls to understand she has it bad for him."

Jiriaya arched an eyebrow. "How bad?"

"She faints so much he thinks she has poor health."

Jiriaya laughed, "You should do it anyway. After all, the other one is probably an Uchiha fan girl. At least this one seems to understand, somewhat, there is a time for it. I did see her scores. She would work well with them. Naruto being a distance fighter and Sasuke a mid range, she would be perfect to balance them out."

"Hmm. You are right there. I'll do it."

"Hey Jii-san," Naruto yelled, coming in the office. Predictably, both men covered their ears. And Naruto began speaking in a whisper. Rin outside just sighed, a normal day. "Gomen. I have a favor to ask, Jii-san."

"And what would that be?"

"Well, first, this scroll I took last night has been really helpful. If I may, can I keep it?"

Sarutobi looked at the scroll on his back, below his guitar. Both himself and several other have gone through it with a fine tooth comb and found nothing 'dangerous' about it. But he was still hesitant. "If you find something strange about that scroll, bring it to me, okay?"

"I will Jii-san. And the other is about my team."

"I am not changing the line up for you, Naruto."

"But..."

"No buts. My decision is final."

Naruto dropped his head in defeat. "Okay, Jii-san," he said with a sigh. He turned and started saying as he walked out, "My folks were always putting him down. Down, down, down down. They said he came from the wrong side of town. Wrong side of town. They thought that he was bad. But I knew he was sad. The leader of the pact." He grinned at the guilt trip he was giving them.

"That was low, Naruto," Rin told him with a smile.

Naruto just kept smiling.

—oo000oo—

Author's notes. Think the music bits were too much? Just a lot of things can be said from the right song at the right time. And besides, for the most part, those seven really do embody the seven deadly sins. They might as well just call Shikamaru Sloth, Choji Gluttony, Ino lust (remember what she did to Neji during the second exam?) Do I really need to say Sasuke is Wrath? I think Sakura falls between Lust and envy. Kiba will always be a prideful one. The only one I probably got wrong was Naruto. But when it comes to jutsus, he is greedy, always wanting more.

And as for making Naruto a pervert, I hate to tell the world this but all men are perverts. Naruto just happens to know there is a time for it. And for the most part, that time is not around other people.

I did not write Seven Deadly Sins. The second song is Shiver My Timbers from Muppet Treasure Island. The last song, the one used for the guilt trip, was Leader of the Pact. All of these songs are copy writed to someone else. I wish they weren't though.
