The Flying Dutchman, one month before the start of Dead Man's Chest
The two man fazed through the deck carrying the slab of ice between them, the deck was quiet, a faint haunting music filled the air, from a steam organ in the bowels of the ship. The boson was on watch and he looked at the ice with disinterest before asking "What you got there?" The pair look to each other before of them speaks "We found him floating along the sea bed, thought he might interest the Captain, looks like one of those 'Ninja" The music that one filled the air stopped, and a new beat was was heard, a tap and a thunk, this repeated before the door to the Captain's cabin opened and there stood the man himself. Captain Davy Jones, the once man turned monster, collector of the souls of those who died at sea. He stepped across the deck to the ice and looked at the figure before speaking in his usual drawl. "A ninja you say? Then why bring him to me if there be nary a scratch on him?" He sighed as he turned back to his cabin, before looking back and adding "Well are you two dolts gonna stand there or are you going to bring him in to defrost?"
As the two crewmen placed the encased nin against a steam vent that led to the captains organ. "Leave us, I'll start him to defrost." He snapped at the crewmen "and close the damn door, don't let any steam leave the room" He sat at the stool and began to play.(Song from Dead-mans chest) As the music roamed across the ship, the steam filled the room, slowly melting the ice that encased Naruto.
Inside the ice..
'What is that music?' He wondered, his eyes couldn't open yet, he knew that much but the sound of the music was so haunting, yet sincere it seemed to resonate with him. He could feel the heat of the room through the ice, but before he could open his eyes, the music seemed to echo and slowly began to fade, then silence. He couldn't feel the cold any more, he opened his eyes to find himself in his mindscape, the once metal corridors were coated in a thick layer of ice. Icicles hung from the ceiling, a thin stream of water trickled through the ice, he decided to follow the water back to it's source, he had some things to discuss with the fox. "Got to admit, this place looks a hell of a lot better than it did last time I was here."
"That we both agree to brat" The voice echoed from the cage, a pair of crimson eyes opened and stared intently at the human, no being before it. "So how are you enjoying your body so far?" It asked with a slight tilt of anger to the tone. Naruto looked at the fox behind the cage bar and wondered to himself 'Why out of all the bijuu in existence, why do I have the one whose ego rivals the Uchiha and Hyuuga clans combined?' He shook his head as he walked up to the cage doors and answered his prisoner's question "So far I have only regained conciousness from that seal, but from what I can tell My chakra level's and control have increased since Haku was a med-nin, I also know all their attacks and weaknesses. But I also can tell that you've done something else to my body" He leveled a glare at the fox before a loud rumbling purr reverberated through the cage, the fox was laughing?
"Very astute of you jailor, not only have I introduced the ice brat blood line to your own elemental affinities along with the eyebrow-less-nin who was severely overcompensating with that sword of his. Your water affinity is greater that the second Hokage, not to mention your wind affinity is equal to that of one of the Kazekages. However I wanted you to be stronger still so with my knowledge of bloodlines I have given you the early stages of one of Kiri's most feared bloodlines..." The fox pressed it's maw closer to the cage and Grinned revealing it's sharp teeth "The Shikosumyaku (Deadbone pulse), however at the moment I have only increased the density of your skeletal structure, bring me a body to add to your own and I shall bring you to your fullest potential." Naruto sighed and nodded, saying he would think about it as the mindscape faded from sight and the music filled his senses.
The Captain's Cabin
The ice that once coated Naruto fell to the floor as his body landed bonelessly onto the deck he then slowly struggled to adjust to his new body. A harsh laugh fell upon his ears "So my crew tell me you are a ninja my lad, pray tell from what village do you hail?" Jones asked as the words rolled from his tongue, Naruto gathered his thoughts before answering and pausing when he heard his voice which sounded like three voices speaking at once, which by all rights was true "I 'hail' from Konoha and Kiri" his answer gained a puzzled look from the Aquafied captain so he explained "I was born in Konoha but have gained some extras from Kiri" He smiled, showing Zabuza's shark like teeth, not noticing the tick mark over Jones' eye
"That mark of vanity is only used by one group of mist nins, the Kiri no Shinobigatana Shichinin Shū, one of whom is a traitor and mutineer of this very vessel" Naruto looked thoughtful at this as he skimmed through some of Zabuza's memories and found, what could only be described as a walking shark, with tiny eyes before finding a name to put to the disturbing face.
"Kisame Hoshigaki" Muttered Naruto, to receive a nod from Jones before the man shook the thoughts from his head and set his eyes upon Naruto "First boy, get dressed then we shall discuss your role on my ship, but before I forget, welcome aboard the Flying Dutchman, Master Uzumaki" Only to recieve a shocked look on Naruto's face 'How does he know my name?' Naruto wondered.
