Unexpected Ally Arrival

Arlong pointed a knife at Kiba.

"My head is worth 20 million berries. The highest price in the East Blue. All the famous pirate hunters must be looking for me," Arlong explained to Kiba, "Where is Sasuke Uchiha? It's not nice of him to beat up all my crewmen while I was not here."

"Threaten all you want, but I won't tell you a thing," Kiba responded.

Sakura seem quiet.

"What's wrong Sakura?" a fishman with his hair tied like a stingray's singer and fins on his elbows asked Sakura, "Why do you look so strange?"

"It seems that you're still suspicious of me," Sakura responded.

"Yes, we're suspicious because you're too smart," the man responded.

"Who wants to die because of these stupid reasons?" Sakura thought, "Why is everything going wrong at a time like this? My plan has almost succeeded."

"I'm surprise of you Sakura," Kiba responded, "I would think someone that deceived Naruto would have something to say."

"The only thing I trust is money! It's all your fault for being stupid and allowing yourself be tricked by me," Sakura responded.

Just then Haji jumped out of the water.

"Captain Arlong, you're back already? How are you doing?" Haji asked.

"Huh?" Arlong responded.

Haji noticed his crewmates were on the ground unconscious and injured.

"What happened?" Haji responded.

"It's Sasuke Uchiha, the pirate hunter," Arlong responded, "Where did you go, Haji? If you were here, this wouldn't have happened?"

"You're right, sir! I surely won't let anyone do this to my friends! I will kill him for sure!" Haji responded.

"So, you don't know where Sasuke is?" the ray-fishman asked.

"Err…just a while ago, I met one suspicious boy with a sword," Haji responded and realize something, "Eh? Could it have been him?"

"You idiot! You met him and you didn't know?" the crew responded.

"Where did he go?" Arlong asked.

"I just took him to Kokoyashi village," Haji responded.

"You helped him too?" the crew responded.

"He said that he was Captain Arlong's guest, so I helped him," Haji explained, "Besides, I never thought that Captain Arlong would come back so early."

"So we don't have to worry, because he is looking for me too," Arlong responded.

"No, Sasuke wouldn't be looking for Arlong, he must be looking for me," Kiba thought, "And if he's at Kokoyashi Village, Akamaru will find him."

"It's not good to let them do anything now," Sakura thought.

"Who is that?" Haji asked pointing at Kiba.

"Sasuke's friend. He thought that he could easily defeat the fishmen," Arlong responded.

Sakura use the moment to punch Kiba.

"Sakura," the fishmen responded.

"What the heck Sakura?" Kiba responded.

"It's your fault for messing with Arlong," Sakura responde.d

"Huh?" Kiba responded.

"It's my fault for letting you follow me to this place. However, every guest must obey the house rules!" Sakura explained, "You shouldn't have gotten involved in the first place. If I let you go, the business that I've done for the past 8 years could be ruined! So I would like to help you rest in peace."

"Rest in peace?" Kiba responded.

"She has grown to become a perfect pirate," Arlong responded.

"Kill him Sakura!" the crew shouted.

"For your sake, don't try to compare yourself to me," Sakura responded.

"Looks like I'm on my own," Kiba thought.

Kiba took out a smoke bomb and threw it into the ground causing it to burst.

Smoke spread out through the area.

"I already thought that you would do this," Sakura responded as Kiba came at her.

"Inuzuka Secret Technique: All Force!" Kiba shouted going for a hit.

Sakura blocked Kiba and punched him in the stomach.

"Act like you passed out and fallow my lead," Sakura said to Kiba.

"Huh?" Kiba responded.

"Do it or you'll die for real," Sakura responded.

"Fine," Kiba responded.

As Sakura jumped back Kiba collapsed on the ground,

The fishmen crew cheered as Kiba laid there as if unconscious.

Sakura kicked Kiba into the ocean.

Kiba use this to swim as far from the fishmen crew as he can.

"Now I can go find Sasuke and Akamaru," Kiba thought.

"I am sorry that I suspected you, Sakura. You are our friend," the ray-fishman responded.

"Friend? I've never had any friends. I joined you because I will be able to collect 100 million berries and buy Kokoyashi Village from you," Sakura responded.

"A person like you, who betrayed her hometown and trusts nothing but money. I always wonder why you are so interested in that small village," the fishman responded and took out a map of the village, "Until I found this."

"That's mine!" Sakura responded.

"Yours? What just thing thing can anger you?" the ray-Fishman asked.

"Huh? What's that Kuroobi?" Arlong asked.

"It is a treasure map, which indicates where the treasure is hidden in Kokoyashi Village," Kuroobi responded.

The crew rushed to see it.

"Give that back to Sakura, it belongs to her," Arlong responded.

Sakura took the map back.

"Don't touch this. It's my treasure," Sakura responded, "There are still many mysteries about this, and I don't hope that anyone will understand. However, the real problem is the buying of the village. Don't tell me that you won't sell it to me."

"If I am going to break our promise, I'd rather die!" Arlong responded, "That's my way of doing business."

"You are understandable Arlong," Sakura responded.

"She grown up," Arlong responded with a laugh.

The cow-fish monster was pulling the boats to Arlong Park but took a left at the cliff.

It hit the cliff and send the two boats flying into the forest.

The boats hit the ground which turned out to be going downhill, as they skidded through the area.

"Wahoo!" Naruto shouted.

"What's the chance of this of happening?" Suigetsu responded.

"Not likely," Kakashi responded.

Sasuke was fallowing Akamaru when they heard something.

"What was that?" Sasuke responded.

Suddenly the two boats came at Sasuke and Akamaru.

Sasuke grabbed Akamaru and jumped onto the boat

"Hey Sasuke Akamaru!" Naruto shouted.

"Naruto!" Sasuke responded.

The boats continued until it crashed.

"What the heck were you guys doing?" Sasuke responded as everyone was getting up.

"We were trying to get Sakura back," Naruto responded.

"Then why is Kakashi here?" Sasuke asked.

"I'm here because I was asked to helped a village here," Kakashi responded, "Which reminds me, I better go find the one who send the request."

"Hey Suigetsu, are you alright?" Haku asked as Suigetsu had splattered in water form from the crash.

"Yeah I'll be fine," Suigetsu responded.

"This isn't the first time something like this happened," Juugo responded.

"And I joined this crew," Choji thought.

"Hey where's Kiba?" Naruto asked.

"That's right, we got to go rescue him," Sasuke responded, "He was captured by the Fishmen."

At the area the cow-fish monster crashed, the villagers gathered.

A marine ship was coming toward them.

"What is going on?" Nojiko asked.

The marines had gathered around Arlong Park.

"Is that Arlong Park?" the major asked, "If we let a pirate become this powerful, the world will be in danger."

"I think so, Major Prinprin," a marine officer told a Major with curl up design hair wearing jewelry.

"Everyone understand that our goal is to rescue all the survivors of Goza Village from Arlong, but I think our task will be completed if we can destroy that cold-blooded pirate castle," Major Prinprin responded.

Arlong was informed of the Marines.

"Unit 77," Arlong responded, "They must be a newcomer! Could someone just go and tell them not to do foolish things? Give them 2 million berries and tell them to get the hell out of here!"

Suddenly there was a sound of a cannon fired as a cannon ball was coming at them.

Arlong opened his mouth and bite down on the cannon as it hit his mouth and destroyed it.

"Let's get them!" Arlong shouted."Chew, Kuroobi and Haji, go after them!"

A fish man with long snout wearing a blue vest shirt, black pants for a mouth, Kuroobi and Haji headed off.

Chew attack the crew as Kuroobi removed the rudder and Haji formed a whirlpools by removing a huge rock.

The Marine Ship was caught into the whirlpools and was destroyed.

The villagers watch as the ship was gone.

"I don't even think that Ninja Core member can help now," Nojiko responded.

"I wouldn't say that," someone said.

Nojiko turned to see Kakashi.

Kiba had managed to avoid the mess by swimming close to the shore.

"That was too close," Kiba thought.

Chew Kuroobi and Haji returned successful.

"Great job," Arlong greeted.

"It was an easy job. We know everything about this area," Chew responded.

"With Sakura's maps and our strength, no one can defeat us," Haji responded.

"Speaking of that, Sakura is one of the most important members of the Arlong Empire, but if she can collect 100 million berries, she will return to her hometown, and we promise we wouldn't get involved with her anymore right?" Chew asked.

"Yes, I'd rather die than to break a promise. That's the way I am," Arlong explained.

"Alright, we need to go save Sakura," Naruto responded.

"I don't need saving," someone said.

The group turned to see Sakura.

"Sakura!" Naruto responded.

"What are you guys doing here?" Sakura asked.

"We came here to get you," Naruto responded, "You are a member of my crew."

"Please, don't make me laugh, all you need is just someone who can navigate, am I right?" Sakura asked.

"It doesn't matter, besides what happened to the girl who told me she hated pirates because they took someone close to you?" Naruto asked, "Why didn't you just told us the truth about you being part of another crew? Or the real reason you were collecting 100 million berries, which we still have no clue why you're trying to do that?"

"It doesn't matter, because it doesn't involved you," Sakura responded.

"Doesn't involved us? You were the one who wanted to be our navigator. Cause of it, any situation you were in involved the rest of the crew," Naruto responded, "That's what being crewmates means."

"Listen I only went find you because Arlong out to kill Sasuke, and will kill anyone else that are friends of his," Sakura responded, "You might think you're strong, because you're a Jinchuriki that ate the Biju Devil Fruits, but your strength doesn't compare to Arlong. Heck, you obviously hasn't fully comprehend the power you possess Naruto."

"What are you talking about?" Naruto asked.

"Why don't you ask Sasuke or Haku, since they seen what happened you were hypnotized by the enemy," Sakura responded.

"What?" Naruto responded.

"What about Kiba? Where is he?" Haku asked.

"I don't know, probably somewhere in the sea," Sakura responded, "Just get off this island. I don't want outsiders to waste their lives here. Don't you understand? The reason I befriended you was for money! And now you don't have anything, so I don't have to care about you anymore. I will return your ship to you. Just get out of here and find a new navigator or One Piece or whatever you want to do! Goodbye!"

Sakura left them.

"What is up with her?" Naruto responded.

"She's hiding something," Juugo responded, "Something that seems to matter to her."

"Huh?" Suigetsu responded, "How do you know?"

"I saw it too," Haku responded, "She's obviously doesn't fully mean what she said."

"Well, I'm not leaving," Naruto responded.

Akamaru whimpered about something

"Don't worry Akamaru, we'll find Kiba," Naruto responded.

Kiba was walking through the village dripping wet.

"I need to find Sasuke," Kiba responded, "Hopefully Akamaru will catch onto my scent."

The Shinobi Crew was sitting at the beach.

"So we're just going to sit around here?" Choji asked.

"Well we need to find Kiba," Sasuke responded.

"Hey, what are you guys doing?" someone asked.

They turned to see Kiba standing there.

"Kiba!" Naruto shouted.

Akamaru barked and ran toward his master.

"Looks like our crew is almost back together," Sasuke responded.

"Alright," Naruto responded.

Sakura had came to her home where Nojiko was at.

Nojiko was picking oranges and turned to Sakura.

"So what happened, Sakura?" Nojiko asked.

"Nothing, I just want to take a rest for a while," Sakura responded.

"Take a rest, but you don't have to destroy stuff while taking a rest. And if there really was nothing going on, you would not have brought out that map," Nojiko responded, "You promised me that you would tell me everything."

"It's just something stupid," Sakura responded.

"Then why not tell your own sister," someone said.

Sakura turned and saw Kakashi standing there.

"It been a long time Sakura," Kakashi greeted.

"Kakashi, what…" Sakura responded, "I mean…"

"Relax Sakura, Kakashi told me the truth," Nojiko responded, "Although you volunteering your crewmates to help a village seemed off."

"You're not mad?" Sakura asked.

"You were trying to protect them, so no," Nojiko responded, "Not to mention before you came back, I met the Shinobi Crew Tracker Kiba and his dog Akamaru."

"Oh," Sakura responded.

"As for me, you were only doing what you were doing to buy back your town," Kakashi responded, "But Sakura, if you just told Naruto the full truth in the beginning, I think he would understand."

"It's not that simple," Sakura responded, "As far as I know, he doesn't trust me anymore anyways."

"You'll be surprise how much trust can be build when the truth is revealed," Kakashi responded.

"Just leave me alone," Sakura responded and fell asleep.

"Don't take Sakura the wrong way, trust and friendship is the two things that hurts her the most," Nojiko responded.

"Well, thanks for the pay," Kakashi responded.

"Sorry, after what happened to the marines, I can't risk a member of the ninja core doing the same," Nojiko responded.

"Why didn't call the marines in the first place?" Kakashi asked.

"Well, there was a rumor that a lieutenant of the marines was being bribe to leave Arlong Park alone, and I didn't want to turn to a marine just for the same thing to happen," Nojiko responded.

"Really, well it doesn't matter," Kakashi responded, "Now that my mission is over, maybe I can help the Shinobi crew with whatever decision they make. I owe them that much."

"Alright," Nojiko responded, "I'm coming along, I want to meet this Shinobi Crew."


A/N: Just so you know, I won't have Neji Tenten and Lee to join the Shinobi Pirates. One Neji and Tenten are for marines, and Lee is training to be a member of the Ninja Core with Gai-sensei (Explain when Lee appears). However I was thinking of having Juugo and Suigetsu join, and later have Sai join.
