Naruto pouted, obviously unsatisfied with his answer but he turned around to watch what was going to happen next. He saw one of the pirate crew members take one of the marine prisoners and brought him towards the plank that Naruto saw earlier. They pushed the frightened man onto it and started yelling at him to keep walking forward. The man gulped and hesitated before taking baby steps forward until he reached the very end of the plank. One of the pirates, who was getting impatient, climbed onto the plank and stomped forcefully on it, making the plank shake dangerously. The tied up man lost his balance on and with a frightened shriek, he fell off and went plummeting into the water. Naruto felt his breath hitch as he no longer saw the man but he heard a loud splash that told him that he went into the water. He sharply turned towards Kakashi with watery eyes.

"What do you think you're doing? Why aren't you helping him!? He can't swim when his hands are tied up!" Naruto yelled, catching a few of the his fellow crewmates attention. Shikamaru, who was relaxing in the shade, stood up and started walking towards the boy, Neji also came over to see what was wrong.

"That's the point Naruto." Kakashi simply said. He realy, Really didn't want to be telling Naruto this. He could always give talk to the boy about growing up and 'the-birds-and-the-bees' but he just couldn't talk about death in front of the boy for some reason.

"But… but they were just doing what they believed was right! You're going to ruin and destroy their dreams just because they did what they were taught and raised to do?! Sure they might've came to attack us and steal our belongings but we're pirates, we stole most of those things in the first place! And they didn't kill anybody so why should we kill them!?" Naruto argued and he let a couple of tears slide down his cheeks but he quickly wiped them away with his long sleeved orange shirt, which he didn't really remember putting on…

"The answer is simple Naruto. It's because we're pirates. We can not show any weakness or vulnerability. We must show these people that they can not just come parading onto our ship and do what they want. Us pirates rule the seas now, whether they like it or not. Whether you like it or not, Naruto. This is the way of the pirates and you better get used to it." Kakashi growled, he was starting to get impatient. The crew that overheard the conversation whistled and clapped in agreement to their captains speech. Kakashi leaned in closer to Naruto so only the boy could hear what he had to say next.

"And how are going to be able to kill Kyuubi when you can't even admit to people dieing. When you can't even see people die before your eyes how are you going to be able to kill someone with your own hands?" Naruto's eyes grew wide. He was shocked that Kakashi knew about his ambition and the captain made a very good point. Naruto let his shoulders sag and he sighed in defeat. He couldn't stop them from killing the marines but he didn't want to be on deck while it happened. He started walking towards the stairs, ignoring Sai and Neji's questioning gaze.

"Wait!! Tobi is a good boy! Don't drown Tobi! Please! I-I'll give you anything you want! Money? Treasure? Tobi has these special scrolls that I think you'll want! Kyuubi thinks they're really special! Why won't you?" A voice rang out. Naruto stopped dead at the mention of scrolls and Kyuubi. He spun around to see a tall man standing on the plank. He was wearing a black cloak and an orange swirly mask that only had one hole on it for the left eye to see through.

Kakashi was instantly in front of the man, inspecting the man closely.

"And what kind of scrolls would these be?" Kakashi asked.

"Well… Tobi knows that these are the same scrolls that Kakashi was looking for when you were spying on our ship. And they are also the same ones that Kyuubi has been searching for, for a looooonnnngggg time." Tobi said happily while hoping on one foot to the other, though it wasn't a good idea to do since he was still on the plank. Kakashi's interest seemed to perk up and grabbed the man known as Tobi and dragged him off the plank.

"Finish off the rest of the crew gentlemen, while I talk to this one for a second." Kakashi ordered and the others quickly followed out the orders. Kakashi nodded and dagged the man he had a hold on down stairs and towards his cabin. Naruto was about to follow to find out more about those scrolls that he guessed were the same scrolls that Kyuubi and his Father were talking about. The same scroll that his Father was killed over. But his, cursing his short attention span, stopped when he heard someone yelling from the other side of the deck.

"Hey you guys!! Come look at this!" The guy yelled and everyone stopped what they were doing to look towards where the guy was pointing. Naruto ran over to where the guy was and looked out and saw a small life boat floating towards them. He felt someone slide up next to him and he looked up to see Sasuke was standing next to him, but his attention was on the small boat that was softly floating to their anchored ship.

"Someone get a rope ladder! There's someone in that lifeboat. Hurry!" Naruto heard Shikamaru yell. A couple of men nodded and went to find a rope ladder. They returned seconds later with a long rope ladder dangling off their shoulders. They quickly draped it over the side of the ship and waited for them person to climb up. It took a couple of minutes but Naruto finally saw a head pop up from the side of the ship, and then the person was fully onboard. He had dark red hair and jade colored eyes. He wore a lot of red and black clothing, and he seemed to wear a lot of eyeliner, because the area around his eyes were all black. And the guy even shaved his eyebrows!? Naruto peered even closer and he saw a red tattoo on the guy's forehead but he couldn't read it. He felt Sasuke tense beside him and Naruto could faintly hear one word slip past the raven haired teen's lips.

"Gaara."

I know I probebly made a bunch of mistakes but it's late and i'm too lazy to go over it. bleh!

I don't think Naruto likes being a pirate anymore... TT-TT

Gaara!! OMG!! i've been wanting to put him in this fanfic! fianlly! and just if you guys didn't know Gaara was the prisoner that escapped Kyuubi's ship. heehee...

Oh! and Yugito Nii is actually the person who had the two tailed demon Fire cat.

go here if you want more information. http://en.

and i wanted to use the host's name because i didn't know what 'Two-tailed cat' translated to. like 'Ninetailed fox' is Kyuubi No Kitsune. so yeah...

Kyuubi used a magic power thing that made it so Naruiko could talk to him telepathically. And just so you know, she giggled because she knows how protective Kyuubi can get about her.
