A/N: Well it ends the Drum Island Arc and begins the Chidori Scroll Arc. I'll go into more details after the chapter.
Chapter 64: On the Way to Ala… Damn it!
On top of the mountain Tsunade, Dalton, Shizune and Tonton all watched the cherry blossom snow.
"Of all crew's Chopper had to join." Said Tsunade taking a sip of Sake.
"What do you mean?" asked Dalton.
"Dalton!" yelled a random town's person.
"What is it?" asked Dalton.
Two town's people showed up with two bounty posters… Luffy and Naruto's.
"Wait! That's!" said Dalton.
"30 Million and 27 Million?" asked Tsunade who then laughed, "They're still beginners I'm sure they'll get bigger."
"Where did you get these?" asked Dalton.
The two town's people explained that on an unusual day when it didn't snow a young man gave them the posters and told them to tell those two to meet him at Alabasta… he said when they heard his name Ace they would know what was that about… they then found out that they dine and dashed and didn't stop him when he ran off.
"It doesn't matter, they're headed to Alabasta, call it a hunch." Said Dalton with a smile thinking about Vivi he did meet her once before as a child, it's a long story.
"I see…" said one of the men.
"Tsunade what's wrong?" asked Shizune.
"Have any of ever heard of Gol D. Roger?" asked Tsunade.
"Don't you mean Gold Roger? Everyone's heard of him." Said Dalton.
"I know…. But what about this name: Namikaze D. Minato?" asked Tsunade.
Dalton and the two town's people looked at each other.
"Who's that?" asked the town's person.
"Figures as much... most people don't his real name... most know him for other two name: The Yellow Flash and the 4thHokage… Two more famous people to add to the Will of D." said Tsunade with a smile.
Back on the Going Merry a party to celebrate Chopper's arrival was in full swing… almost everyone was celebrating expect for Chopper who was thinking about something, Sakura, Nami, Vivi and Carue… the last three well… because of this.
"Won't anyone show Sympathy for Carue!" yelled Nami.
"He's a alive so what's the big deal?" asked Luffy.
When they got back to ship, they had found Carue frozen in the river, Vivi was crying over him and trying to warm him up.
"Oh Carue! How did you end up in the river!" cried Vivi.
Carue began to explain though quacks.
"He probably slipped in." laughed Zoro.
"He said he saw Zoro go into the river and disappear, so he dove in order to rescue him." Translated Chopper.
"It's your fault!" yelled Nami hitting him in the head.
"I told you it was a bad idea leaving Zoro alone with the ship, did anyone listen? No…" said Sasuke with his eye twitching.
"Oh Sasuke your so right! Maybe we'll listen you next time!" said Sakura and Ino swooning.
Then Sakura went out of her Sasuke love.
"Either way that was amazing Chopper! It's good to see you have other amazing talents other than medicine." said Sakura.
"It wasn't anything." Said Chopper blushing slightly, normally he would have gone into a dance and swear he wasn't happy… but for some reason, talking to Sakura gave him some sort of warm fuzzy feeling in his stomach and he couldn't describe it.
"What do you mean medicine?" asked Sanji.
Both Nami and Sakura sweat dropped… that's when they broke it to them.
"What do you mean he's a doctor!" yelled a lot of people on the ship.
"You didn't know… then what was it that impressed you?" asked Nami.
"Emergency food supply." Said Sanji.
"His 7 Transformations." Said Luffy.
"Same as Luffy…" said Naruto who didn't mention the other part of why he liked Chopper… the whole growing up as an outcast.
"Why don't you mention that thing?" asked Kyubi.
"Because I don't wanna…" thought Naruto with a slight pout.
"Because of Chopper's abilities as a doctor I have an announcement to make." Called out Sakura.
Everyone turned to Sakura.
"As you know I'm still learning, because of that I'm not a very good doctor." Said Sakura, "That's why I decided to give Chopper thee title of doctor and become his assistant." She then turned to Chopper, "Is that okay with you?"
Chopper blushed and nodded, "That's okay with me." He said.
"All right!" cheered Luffy.
"Oh no!" cried Chopper.
"What is it?" asked Sakura.
"I forgot my medical supplies!" said Chopper.
"You mean this?" asked Nami holding up a blue backpack with an X on it.
"How did that get there?" asked Chopper.
Then he remembered what Tsunade said to him.
"She put it in there." Said Chopper.
Chopper sat down with Nami and Sakura.
"So Tsunade gave you the cold shoulder when you left." Said Sakura.
"I can't blame her, she's not very good with goodbyes." Said Chopper.
"Why's that?" asked Nami.
"Oh no!" cried Naruto realizing something else about himself.
"Naruto? What's wrong?" asked Hinata.
"I lost my autograph book! I must have left at that castle! It had Kakashi's signature!" yelled Naruto.
"Oh Tsunade told me to give it you… she was worried you might have lost it." Said Sakura handing it to Naruto.
Naruto noticed it was budging slightly and opened it, inside tapped inside was Tsunade's necklace… there was a signature inside "Thank you, for everything, Tsunade."
"All right! I proved myself to be a Kage to her!" cheered Naruto.
"What do you mean?" asked Hinata.
"I made a bet with Tsunade that if I can prove myself I'm Kage material she'd sign my book and give me her necklace!" cheered Naruto.
"Um… Naruto… what's that?" asked Hinata.
Naruto noticed there was a P.S. which read "This is thanks for stopping Wapol… you have a long way to go until you're Kage Material."
"What!" yelled Naruto.
Naruto sighed and said "Well at least I got what I wanted and that's matters!"
He began to put on the necklace, Chopper noticed.
"She gave you her necklace!" yelled Chopper in shock.
"Yeah what's the problem?" asked Naruto.
"Tsunade told me that necklace was cursed and all other people who wear the necklace are cursed to die." Said Chopper.
"Oh that's silly." Said Naruto.
"Zoro was told the same thing about one his sword when he bought and he's still alive." Said Sasuke, "Though I'm kind of surprised about that."
"What do you mean you're surprised." Said Zoro glaring at Sasuke.
"Don't worry it's probably just nothing." Said Naruto.
"I hope so." Said Chopper with a sigh.
While Naruto was worried he didn't know the story, that Tsunade had a younger brother named Nawaki (that sort of resembled Naruto) long to be a Kage as well, Tsunade thought was a wonderful dream and gave him the necklace for his birthday, shortly after he died in an accident. Sometime after that Tsunade met a man named Dan and fell in love with him, much like Nawaki he wanted to be a Kage… Tsunade thought about her late brother and gave her necklace to Dan… he died shortly after… It was those two events that left Tsunade bitter about Kages...
Well back to the main story…
It was still a celebration, everyone dance cheered and some cases got drunk… this event made Chopper so happy, that it was the most fun he had ever had.
The next day...
Sanji was staring and Naruto and Luffy…
"Why don't you look at me?" asked Sanji.
"No reason." Said the two.
"That's that in your mouth?" asked Sanji.
"The food we stole." Said Naruto.
"Yeah…" said Luffy.
"It was you!" yelled Sanji kicking the two idiots away.
To catch up… that day someone stole all of the food… of course the culprits were the black hole brothers… however they weren't the only ones guilty.
"Hey! I just took care of the others." Said Ino pointing at the pile of Kiba, Usopp, Chopper, Carue and Akamaru who was also raided the fridge.
"Great what are we going to do?" asked Sanji.
"Hey Vivi, how far is Alabasta?" asked Ino.
"Not far… but it will take a few days to get there." Said Vivi.
"Oh man and we ran out of food." Sighed Ino.
"Can't we just ration what's left?" asked Sakura joining the conversation.
"We can't they ate everything." Said Ino.
"I guess all we can do is have them fish and hope they catch something good." Said Sakura.
"That sounds fine to me." Said Sanji.
"Hey!" came Sasuke voice from the crow's nest.
"What?" asked Ino.
Sasuke came down, "I see an island in the distance… they might have some food there."
Nami heard this and joined in on the sensation, "Well it's your choice Vivi… what should we do?"
"Well I guess will need food." Said Vivi.
"Okay. We'll head towards the island then we'll head to Alabasta." Said Nami.
On the exact island that Sasuke saw, there was a town but it was in ruins. Many people were injured and the few that weren't were helping those that were. The one that seemed to be in charge was a woman with spiky dark purple hair, she wore the strangest outfit which consisted of a metal mesh body glove that well… wasn't very covering and a tan skirt and jacket, she also wore a clone user's headband with a snake engraved on it.
"All right I think the tent is set up to take in the injured!" said the woman.
"Miss! Miss!" yelled a man coming from the shore.
"What is it?" asked the woman turning around.
"Pirates are coming! They seemed to be headed for the island!" cried the man.
"All right! I'll deal with them. They should be too hard to take out." Said the woman, "I'll be back soon… those pirates won't know what hit them."
Back on the going Merry, everyone met on deck to come up with plans when they got to the island.
"So we're going to island to get some supplies?" asked Luffy.
"Yeah… but no exploring, just in and out get some supplies." Said Nami.
"But I want to explore." Pouted Luffy.
"We can't we have to get supplies… and it's your fault we do." Said Sakura.
"So you pirates are going to the island." Said a voice.
They turned around and saw the woman from the island…
"/who are you and how did you get on the ship!" yelled Zoro.
"That doesn't matter, all that matters is that you stay away from that island you pirates." Said the woman.
"Why should we?" asked Sasuke.
"Because I said so, the town on the island was already attack by scum lower then you pirates. If you know what's good for you, you have to leave!" said the woman.
"You and what army?" asked Sasuke.
The woman chuckled, "You know, you should never say that to a clone user." Said the woman.
That's when a many clones of the woman popped into existence.
"A clone user!" said Naruto.
"I just said I was one!" yelled the woman.
"Idiot…" muttered Sakura.
"Either way… this is going to be fun!" said Luffy with a big grin.
And so the fight began… not knowing what would come out of it… hopefully nothing bad will happen, right?
Next Time: After a rather humors series of events involving Naruto, the woman who turns out to be a Kage asks the Straw Hats for help on the island. A mysterious group tore up the town looking for the Scroll looking for a Legendary Scroll that is said to have a powerful attack written on it... and they are still looking for it! Will the Kage be able to convince the Straw Hats to help her... well more like will Naruto and Luffy convince the others to stay and help her? Find out next time!
A/N: First to straiten things out, Kakashi will have very little to do with the arc (he is going to be mentioned next chapter but that's it.) Much like with Rasengan, the teacher of the Jutsu will have nothing to do with it... and there will be a few more Naruto characters in the this arc... won't say who, but they are villains and will probably contain one of the best fight parings in the One Piece/ Naruto crossover ever!
