Naruto couldn't sleep so Kira walked out. He met a strange man named O'aka XXIII and Naruto gave him 4000 Gil seeing there's no harm in helping a traveling Merchant. Plus it could be helpful so he didn't see any disadvantages here. "I'll make it up to ye that I will! When the business begins openin' I'll be sure to give you a discount!"
Naruto nodded at O'aka and he walked upstairs onto the deck. Naruto was amazed at the view wishing that Kira was awake to see this. The stars were shining beautifully as they reflected upon the water. He walked around the deck and saw the Goers around Yuna. "Hey what's going on?" Naruto asked faking the cheerfulness around the Goers. "You again? Haven't you bugged us enough back in Kilika you idiot?" Bickson said with disgust. Naruto frowned and was about to say something back but instead Yuna said something "Don't call Naruto that!" Which Bickson just shrgged "But he is one. The moron thinks he can win the cup just because he joined the Aurochs."
Naruto again was about to say something but Yuna said something instead being more uncharacteristically angry. "Naruto joined the Aurochs so he could help out a true Blitzball team win the cup and not have a bunch of assholes tell him other wise." she yelled out surprising Naruto and the rest. "Right whatever your Ladyship says." Bickson said and the Goers walked away. Naruto walked to Yuna who was embarrassed by her outburst. "You alright? I never expected you to get mad like that." Naruto said. "They were being really rude to you, and I really do believe you can help the Aurochs!" Yuna responded. "Well don't worry about things like that again okay? Although it was cute at how angry you were." Naruto teased making Yuna blush again.
Naruto walked away and heard Wakka and Lulu on top of the deck, thanks to his advanced hearing which they were talking about him.
"So Naruto seems to have an impact on Yuna ya?" "He does make this trip more interesting." Lulu said. "Do I sense I crush here?" Wakka teased which made Lulu glare at him. "I was kidding sheesh! But you do seem more happier since he was around after he saved you ya?" Lulu said nothing. Wakka decides to change the subject. "What do you think about his whole rebirth thing?" "Naruto doesn't seem to like one to lie." "That's true, he does have the look of an orphan though, mostly from having no parents like me and Chappu. But he didn't seem to have any one ya? At least I had Chappu, and I'm not sure what his life was like but it seems personal and if he wants to tell us he can ya?" Wakka said being surprisingly right. "Your right for once." to which Wakka just cleared his throat.
"I wish I could know my parents though." "I-I still remember mine a little...I was five then." "Dammit!" Wakka cursed punching the ground. "Sin just keeps taking everything away from us!" Wakka said ending the conversation.
Naruto walked towards the front of the deck and sees a blitzball. Naruto closed his eyes remembering when his dad showed him the Jecht Shot.
Flashback
Naruto was seen practicing his dads famous move he managed to kick the ball of the deck but it bumped his head knocking him down. "Ow!" Naruto said rubbing his head. That's when Jecht decided to show himself while chuckling "Trying to follow in my footsteps huh?" he asked. Naruto nodded excitedly "Yeah! Although I have some trouble with the next part though. Could you show me dad?" he asked. Jecht walked in front of the blitzball and patted Naruto's head. "I usually charge for lessons you know." he joked making Naruto pout. "But for my little blitzer I could make an exception. That shot is done...like this!" Jecht kicked the ball then kicked it upwards, then jumped and headbutted it, then punched it making the ball fly up, then finishing it by Jecht jumping up spinning really fast and then kicking the ball making it jet away.
Flashback end.
Naruto smiled at the memory. 'I wonder if I can do it, now that I'm in my top condition again?' So with confidence he did the same thing his father did in the flashback unknowingly catching attention from the Aurochs, Wakka, and Yuna. Naruto jumped up and spun around and he managed to kick the ball making the ball curve upwards.
Naruto started chuckling. "Too bad he couldn't see that. He'd probably shit himself." Then felt something behind him and saw Wakka and three of the Aurochs. "Woah!" Naruto shouted. "What's that called?" Wakka asked in amazement. Naruto shrugged "Called the Jecht Shot since the old man did invent it, anyone can do it if they try though." "Can you show us one more time?" Wakka asked giving Naruto another blitzball. Naruto grabbed the blitzball with a wide grin and placed it down. Naruto was ready until he looked back again and saw Yuna wave at him. Naruto gave Yuna a thumbs up before he performed it again.
Naruto landed as Wakka said "I knew you were something special! That outta knock those Goers for a loop ya?" Naruto walked to Yuna who asked "You know the Jecht Shot?" to which Naruto nodded. "Yeah, always wanted to do it to surprise the old fart since he always called it the..." he answered but Yuna finished for him. "The Sublimely Magnificent Jecht Shot Mark III right?" Naruto snorted at the name of it. "Yeah, it gives him a giant ego boost, but how did you know that?" "Sir Jecht showed me when I was a child." Naruto nodded. "There was no Mark I or II, he said that would just hook the crowd...and it did. I found it hilarious...You think he's still alive?" he asked.
"I'm not sure...he was with my father." "So he famous here too?" "Yes so maybe someone can tell you what happened to him. And what would you do if you found him?" Yuna asked curiously. "Hmmm well..." Naruto said stroking his chin..."I thought he died ten years ago, and so did Mom and everyone else...I'd probably give him a right hook." he finished as he punched the air. "Not that it was his fault probably but still...he put mom and me through a lot and him being famous...well you should know Yuna, your father's famous too. It's hard to follow in famous footsteps right?" he asked. Yuna nodded. "It is difficult to follow in his footsteps yes, but having looking up to him surpasses all that."
Naruto got smacked with a blitzball courtesy of Wakka. "Do the move again!" "Yeah, yeah, sheesh you sound like a whiny kid Wakka." which made Yuna giggle.
I couldn't wait for the game in Luca to happen now. But I couldn't help but feel two things in the coming future...One that something bad may happen...and two Kira may try something that's gonna be the end of me...and this feeling was always right...But please let the first one be more true than the second...
Naruto walked back into the bedroom and saw Kira sleeping with a mischievous look. 'Please don't tell me she's planning something that may involve this whole harem thing...I don't think I can take this...' he whined in his mind which luckily Kira didn't hear as she was too busy in her own thoughts. 'Time to get Lulu more interested in Naruto...' she thought mischievously. He managed to lay down with Kira on top of him and muttered jokingly unknown to Kira. "If your planning something sneaky and I find out, no back rubs Kira.." which almost made Kira whine, but she had to take risks. Naruto's smile was now mischievous as he always had one up on her but he didn't really mean it...but she doesn't need to know that, and he just likes how needy she acts when she wants his infamous back rub...it's too cute. But now both fell asleep for the tournament to come.
Naruto woke up without a weight on top of him. He heard a familiar noise outside so he quickly got dressed and ran to the deck. Naruto grabbed the rope to keep his balance as he got a great view of Luca. There were plenty of buildings, but the main thing that caught his attention is the blitzball stadium. 'It's not Zanarkand, but it's still a great view.' Naruto jumped off from where he was and nodded to Wakka who had a huge grin on his face.
The teams walked out as they were introduced by the two announcers Bobba and Jimma. "Ah, over there! The ships carrying the players are arriving now! This would be dock number 2. All the way from Kilika, it's the Kilika Beasts! High Summoner Ohalland used to play for them, a big name to live up to. Their hometown was recently attacked by Sin. Right Jimma?" Booba announced and asked his co-host. "Yes, Bobba. They're going to be pulling out all the stops to try and bring back the cup this year."
"Exciting, isn't it folks? Our next team off the ramp is...Well, well, well! If it isn't the Besaid Aurochs! They're a living, breathing, statistical impossibility. I've never seen a team this bad!" Bobba would've continued until Naruto shouted "Oh shut the hell up already!"
"Okay...let's move on with the next team Bobba." "Right Jimma. Moving right along, our next team is...Here they are, folks! Our very own Luca Goers!" Naruto had to keep his temper in check at the way they introduced a team that only became so good because they had a stadium to play with, and their assholes about it. "It's like this every year ya? Don't let it bother you." That almost calmed Naruto down but Kira said "Come Naruto I'm sure they want you to lose your temper, and beside we can save it for the blitzball match." Naruto sighed and leaned into his mate's embrace feeling his temper vanish.
Then three unnamed people walked by "Maester Mika is here!" the first man exclaimed. "Already?" the woman asked. "The number 3 dock!" the second man stated and they ran there.
"Maester Mika?" Naruto asked. "Maester Mika is the leader of all peoples of Spira. He's come all the way from Bevelle. The tournament is being held to honor his fifty years as maester." Lulu explained. "Shouldn't he be too old for this shit like a certain old man I used to know?" he whispered snickering to Kira who was trying not to laugh either. Naruto felt a blitzball hit him "Hey watch your mouth now." Wakka warned him picking up the blitzball. "Let's go see him!" Yuna said excited.
They head to dock 3 and the group somehow managed to get a spot. As the band starting playing a strange looking man with a weird hairstyle with blue hair and blue robes came walked off the boat. "Is that Maester Seymour?" a man asked. Naruto managed to get a good look at him and for a minute a pale white creepy looking man took his place. 'What the...' Naruto shook his head and the image of the man was gone and it was Seymour again. This guy reminds me of Orochimaru... Something bad is going to happen soon.' Naruto thought frowning as the man turned around and did the prayer as did everyone else.
A old man of an unknown age walked out wearing robes. 'There's no way this guy hasn't died of old age...' Naruto thought having a certain feeling he had around Auron before when he looked the old man. "People of Spira. I thank you for your generous welcome. Rise, Maester Seymour. And all of you as well. I present to you...The son of Maester Jyscal Guado, who departed for the Farplane a fortnight past. He was already ordained a maester of Yevon."
"I am Seymour Guado. I am honored to recieve the title of Maester." and he did the rest of his speech while Naruto wasn't buying a thing. Naruto wasn't praying as everyone else was. "You too bow your head!" Wakka scolded. Naruto was about to say something back but then the maesters were now leaving, but not before Seymour got a good luck at Yuna, which definitely put Seymour on his 'shit list.' "All right last meeting before the match. Hustle!"
Naruto walked into the Auroch's locker room while Kira was beginning her corruption with Lulu. The Aurochs groaned in disappointment when they thought their captain was here. "Where's Wakka?" "At the match-up draws." Datto answered. "We had to play the Goers first last year, and the year before that too!" Letty explained. "Well we would've lost to anyone anyways.." Keepa said. Wakka entered making the Aurochs jumped "Cap'n Wakka!" Datto shouted. "We're playing the Al Bhed Pysches in the first match. We win and we're in the finals! That's right we got seeded! Two wins, and we're the champions! Let's go over the basics again boys!"
After that boring but somewhat helpful review of the basics if you couldn't tell by Naruto's yawning. Yuna, Kira, and Lulu came into the locker room. Naruto had a quick look at Kira who had a smirk on her face while Lulu was...thinking? But then had his attention to Yuna who said "Naruto someone said they found Sir Auron in a cafe!" Naruto jumped up "Au-Auron? As in red coat, one arm out, sunglasses, Auron?" Naruto questioned which Yuna nodded. "Let's go see him!" "Hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. The game starts real soon! C-Come back quick ya?" Wakka panicked. Naruto shook his head "C'mon you guys may only really need me for the Goers you can handle the other team." Naruto said honestly.
With that in mind Naruto left the locker room and was about to leave the hallway when he heard Al Bhed "A lady summoner!" "We must report." Naruto walked away though pretending not to understand. 'What do the Al Bhed want with Yuna? Better have a Shadow Clone Track them.' Which he did and had it hiding under a stealth illusion.
Naruto and Yuna met up after her being interviewed by a sphere crew. And they both were near the cafe were they heard Auron was. "I hope we don't get seperated..." Yuna said worried that it might happen. Naruto smiled and pulled out a Hirashin kunai and gave it to Yuna. "What's this?" She asked. "If we ever do get seriously seperated and put into a situation you can't handle, just throw that on the ground and I'll be right there, I promise." Naruto said with a true smile making Yuna turning away from Naruto so he couldn't see her blush.
They walked into the cafe and Yuna asked around. Kimahri got into a little fight with some Ronso 'friends' Biran and Yenke. But as Kimahri punched Yenke the game started. (Yeah I normally did write this in greater detail but it got erased when my computer turned off so I just sum up what happened.) The game started with the Al Bhed Psyches against the Besaid Aurochs and when Wakka and the captain of the other team jumped up and grabbed the ball Naruto got information from his shadow clone making his eyes widen and he turned to Kimahri. "Yuna's gone! Deal with this jackass some other time Kimahri!" Kimahri nodded but before he left gave Biran a quick punch and with that they both left the cafe.
Lulu and Kira ran up to the two. "Where in Spira have you been?" Lulu almost shouted. Naruto looked at Kira with a questioning look and Kira huffed and said "The Al Bhed Psyches kidnapped Yuna and wants the Aurochs to lose in exchange for Yuna." As she finished Naruto growled "Over my dead body that's gonna happen! We came this far to win and I promised I would help the Aurochs bring the cup home to Spira. So let's go get her! Where are they now?" "Dock 4" Lulu answered.
The group ran pulling out their weapons as they expected to get into a fight along the way. Which was true as two strange machines appeared. "What are they!" Naruto shouted. "Ancient machina salvaged by the Al Bhed. Lighting is effective against it." Lulu explained as she casted Thunder on the first one, as Naruto shot a lightning ball at the other.
They made it through the group of machina as they finished off the last ones. They looked up at the sphere screen to see how the Aurochs were doing. The score was tied as the Auroch's were giving some excellent defense. Wakka caught the ball and was about to move ahead but was stopped by a trio of Al Bhed's he dodged the first one but the other two rammed him hard knocking Wakka out but no foul.
"Still in there!" Naruto said. "Looks like he has more fight then I thought." Kira added. "But it won't last long Wakka's always like that." Lulu said making Naruto shake his head. "Have more faith in him Lu, but now isn't the time, let's go the boat is leaving!"
The party ran towards the boat as it was taking off. Naruto noticed Lulu was slower than the rest so he picked her up bridal style making her gasp in surprise. They all jumped to the boat and landed. Naruto put Lulu down and she hit him with a quick thunder spell. "Ow! You wouldn't have made it if I didn't pick you up!" Naruto said twitching from the strike. "I know but you still should have warned me first!" she replied.
Naruto got back up and thought 'Luckily she didn't notice I was touching her ass by accident...best accident ever. Damn it I'm sounding like Ero-Senin now!'
But before he could continue his inner rambling a machina that rose from the belly of the ship! So now the real fight started.
Naruto looked to the left and saw a crane. "Let's use this!" Naruto tried to use it but the machine didn't respond. "C'mon move!" he shouted at it. "It's probably out of power." Kira stated. Lulu had an idea and used Thunder on the machine. It shook a bit but still didn't respond. Kimahri and Kira attacked the machine and Lulu casted another Thunder on the machine which still didn't respond.. The machine then fired brown balls at the group damaging them. Kimahri attacked again and Lulu casted Thunder on the crane one more time and it shook showing it was ready to be used. Naruto activated the crane and it grabbed the Blitz Machine and ripped off the top part of it and dumped it in the water.
Naruto and Kira looked at each other and nodded and finished it with Menacing Cut. The machina shook and then exploded. They the door to the ship opened and out came Yuna and a Al Bhed guard with a yellow gas mask looking beaten to hell. "It looks like you hurt them." Lulu stated as she walked to Yuna. "A little." she stated nonchalantly. "A little! Hell hath no fury..." Naruto muttered but was only heard by Kira who gave him a warning glare almost making Naruto jump off the boat to escape from 'the wrath.'
But Naruto took a good look at the boat "Hey Kira this looks like the Al Bhed ship that Rikku was on." Naruto said to Kira as she took a good look and gasped in surprise. "It does look like it..." "What happened?" Yuna asked. "When me and Kira first appeared here we were at these ruins and it seemed like we were trapped there until a group of Al Bhed let us on their boat, even gave us food. In return we helped finding some kind of machina with Rikku. But Sin came near us so I can't say what happened to their ship." Naruto explained. "Was their anyone called Cid on the boat?" Naruto closed his eyes "No, but why?" "He's my uncle, but I've never met him." Naruto nodded and then opened his eyes which widened "Wait, so your part Al Bhed!" Naruto half asked half shouted. "Yes, but only on my mother's side. He became distant after my mother married. But she told me to seek him out if I ever needed him."
"Wow, kind of ironic." Naruto stated. "But don't tell Wakka about Yuna's lineage! He never had much love for the Al Bhed." Lulu warned. Naruto nodded "Got it, but he's gonna find out sometime though...wait Wakka...oh crap the game!" Then he did a few handseal's "You may get a little dizzy after this." Naruto warned as he did the last handsign and shouted "Multi-shunshin Jutsu!" and they all dissapeared in a puff of smoke.
They appeared back at the docks under a sphere screen. They managed to shake of their dizziness enough to watch the rest of the game. There was thrity seconds left on the clock. Wakka used a sign showing that he meant an "All out offensive." The aurochs charged forward and so did Wakka. The other Aurochs managed to block the Al Bhed's except for one. Letty threw the ball from far away and Wakka managed to cathed it. An Al Bhed rose up and tried to attack Wakka but he flipped over him and pushed off his back and threw the ball into the opponents goal. Thanks to the momentum from pushing off the Al Bhed's back it was too fast for the goalie as it made it in giving the Aurochs a last second goal. Wakka was now floating exhausted from his adrenaline.
"Yeah they did it!" Naruto shouted with joy. "Their in the finals now!" Yuna also cheered. "Not the most graceful win. Chappu would still be standing." Naruto rolled his eyes 'I know he must've been important to her, but still Wakka deserves more credit. And come on must his stamina probably be like mine too?' he thought.
They walked into the Auroch's locker room and saw the Auroch's lying down exahusted. "You guys did great!" Naruto said enthusiastically. Letty nodded holding his right arm. "Thanks brudda! I don't think I can make it next match that last past really took a toll on my arm." Naruto looked at Kira who kissed his cheek with a smirk. "Looks like the great Kira will join too! I happen to have a great arm when I practiced with Naruto!" Kira said striking a pose. Naruto rolled his eyes and smiled at her antics "Yeah my injured stomach from back then could back that up." he said making Kira pout.
Naruto walked to Wakka and whispered "You gave it your all man, I'm sure your bro would be proud of you." making Wakka smile and he sat up feeling a bit better. "Thanks, me and Letty will sit out while you and Kira go kick the next team's ass! Though it might be the Goers sadly since the Beasts may not be focused this year due to them worring about the whole Sin thing ya?"
Naruto looked at the sphere screen and saw Kukulan get brutally tackled by Bickson and his two butt buddies making Naruto growl at that. "Oh they'll pay for that tenfold..." "Someone you know Naruto?" Kira asked. "I saved her sister back in Kilika. She seemed like a nice woman, she doesn't deserve that. Hold on I'll be back soon." he said then ran out the locker room. Naruto looked for the Infirmary and saw Kukulan lying there. She saw Naruto and smiled softly "Hi Naruto...you saw what happened didn't you?" she said a bit weakly still hurting from the game. Naruto nodded and smiled at her. "Yeah, but are you alright though? I got a few potions I could..." he said as he sat down near her as she put a finger to his mouth. "Thanks Naruto, but I'll be fine after a good rest. Just do me one favor and kick their asses!" she said and kissed his lips which Naruto did back. But it didn't last to long as it was a quick kiss. Then she winked at him "And I might give you a nice thank you reward later." she said giggling at his look. "I..I...okay..." he said stupidly. Then he shook it off "Alright Kukulan I will! That's a promise! And I sure as hell won't break it! Get well soon!" he said running out as the game was about to start.
Naruto made it back to the locker room with ten minutes to spare. He decided to give the Aurochs a morale boost. "Alright team since I'm taking Wakka's place as Captain so listen up!" he said seriously making the Aurochs look at him as the other guardians looked at him listening at what he'll say. "Remember our goal here is victory! You guys showed those Al Bhed, and now it's time for you to double...no triple your efforts against the Goers! Show them absolutely no mercy! They sure as hell didn't for a team that didn't deserve it so why should we?" he asked rhetorically as the Aurochs all shouted "Yeah!" getting pumped up. "These high and mighty so called 'blitz players' have had the trophy for too long! They have no idea what the true meaning of blitz is! And let's also give the audience one hell of a game! Not just for us, but for the fans! For Besaid! For Kilika. For everyone worthy blitzer that deserves it! And like I said we will leave the Goers with nothing at all! So can I count on you to destroy these damned Goers?" he said as he stuck his hand out. Kira put her hand on Naruto's first and said "Your damn right!" she shouted. Then one by one Keepa, Botta, Datto, and Jassu put their hands on too and shouted 'Yes Cap'n Naruto!' Naruto smiled and shouted. "Then let's go out there and kick some asses!" Just as the game was ready to start the Aurochs shouted 'Yes Cap'n!' and then they walked inside the door entering the stadium.
Wakka chuckled at what happen "He sure knows how to boost people up ya? Yuna there's some seats I managed to reserve for you guys so you can watch the match live to cheer them on." Yuna nodded and Kimahri and Yuna walked out to the stadium. Wakka looked towards Lulu who now showed worry in her eyes. "Hey don't worry sis, I'll be fine." he assured calling her 'sis' for the first time in a while. "You did worry me, though when I saw you floating there on the sphere." Wakka scratching the back of his head. "You weren't supposed to see that." and then he was about to collapse but Lulu caught him holding him like a sister would for her brother. "You really gave it your all didn't you?" she asked.
A certain badass we all know and praise was walking up the stairs to the stadium as the announcers were talking. "Who could have imagined. The Goers vs the Aurochs in the finals!" "This looks like history in the making Bobba." As he stopped at the top of the stairs leaning against wall watching the game. "Looks like his new story will be told everywhere." he said.
The teams swam to the middle of the sphere into their respective places. Naruto in the middle and Kira were Letty would've been and the rest in their places with Keepa at the goal. Naruto gave a firece glare at Bickson but then stopped as he motioned his team to stop and turn around. They did but also Kira yawned and mouthed 'Boring.' and swam to her place last. But when Naruto swam back he turned around also mouthing 'I will hurt you.' making Bickson seethe as he was about to taunt them.
Naruto and Bickson crouched ready to grab the ball when it launches. The Blitzball emerged and shot straight up starting the game.
Hooray for Luca and its longness giving me a good 5000 words to type, with added cliffhanger! :D. That's pretty damn good if you ask me. Also yep I'm adding Kukulan to the harem ;D. Why? Cause I can. Lulu is starting to be corrupt by Kira but still is holding out...for now. But it'll build up soon. Again go read Always Dreaming and I'll see you guys in the next chapter! Hope you enjoyed!
