Disclaimer I do not own Naruto or One Piece.
It had been over a month since Naruto and Itachi had set sail to start to collect members of their crew, food and fresh drinking water had started to run low, however Naruto's patience had also reached its end, he may not have been the greatest navigator however he knew that they could had arrived at island within the first week.
As Naruto's stare bored into the back of Itachi's head, his aura started to become more and more noticeable, the winds started to howl against the boat and the dark blood red sails, and the waves started to become more aggressive. "Itachi would you mind explaining why we have yet to reach an island, why I know we could have?" Naruto questioned.
Itachi sat still for a moment whist continuing steering the boat, before he calmly turned to face Naruto, his coal eyes flinching as they met Naruto's. "Before you arrived at Mount Richu, I had already been informed of you coming by Marco, as such I used my spy network to track down members of our old crew to meet at a designated island. We should land there in roughly two hours" The answer seemed to pacify Naruto as his aura calmed down to the point Itachi could barely sense him.
Naruto relaxed leaning against the side of the unnamed one man boat that had managed to fit him and first mate, his eyes sliding shut he heard Itachi turn to continue to steer the boat, so he started to drift to sleep.
"However"
Itachi's voice and the word made Naruto snap out of the almost slumber, he peered over to Itachi awaiting him to finish.
"The responses were mostly negative, some had moved on with their lives, choosing to settle down, or even start their own crews some being more successful than others" Itachi's head bowed towards the glinting ocean "Worse still is that I have found that most of our crew have been embraced by the clutches of the Shinigami"
The mood instantly turned solemn, Naruto's head joined Itachi's, bowing downwards, and he spoke a silent prayer, an hour seemed to pass before the silence was broken by Itachi's voice, "I only got three positive responses, in an hour we'll meet them and start a new adventure" His tone and attitude were both encouraging to Naruto, as it caused he to raise he head, his cheeks moist with tears that he wiped away and his eyes glistening a warm shade of cerulean. "ha-ha I guess you're right, I can't wait to see the others". He settled down again, a warm smile spreading across his face.
Thanks for reading please R&R. Sorry it's so short.
