A/N: Well I'm back from my vacation! It was awesome! I went to the Tokyo Tower! Akihabara and the Gamers Store they have there! The Pokemon Center! And the Tokyo Dome where a Shonen Jump store called the Jump Shop is... they have so much cool things there, I bought a Chopper Hat! A hat that look like his complete with ears and antlers! I'm going to dress like Chopper Man in the figure for cosplay (and it will be my first cross play).

Anyhow, sorry for the long wait, I was originally going to do this yesterday but something came up... it's nothing that important... really... it involves a Gaia Gift card...

Also this chapter fully introduces the Raikage who indeed Yugito, her character is open to interruption so you'll see how she in the future. I had planned her to the Raikage a long time ago, even before the canon Raikage was intruded. Also Yugito knows Anko and Kakashi very well and also a certain other Jinchuriki who will be mentioned in the next chapter (don't worry... he will eventually show... I don't know when... but he will show).

Also one more thing! They took away the totals hits! I was so close to 200,000 hits too... oh well... at least Obama won! Enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 83: The Holder of Nibi

The Straw Hats looked at the woman when Naruto was finally able to speak.

"Um… are you… really… I mean… are you…" said Naruto he took a breath, "Are you Nii Yugito?"

"Yes, I am." Said the woman who's name turned out to be named Yugito.

"OMG!" yelled Naruto going into full fan boy mode… now as one must guess this she was a Kage… but Naruto had heard certain things about this Kage, good things… very good things… they had something common and that thing in common made him a complete and utter fan boy… that made him say fan girlish things. Let's just say nothing, not even the things that just happen could prêt this hyperactive fan boy antics, "I can't believe it! I always wanted to meet you! Out of all Kage you're the Kage I wanted to meet the most! I can't believe it! I'm finally meeting you! You out of all people are here!"

"Weird change in the mood…" said Kiba with a sweat drop.

"So she's a Kage…" said Nami with a sweat drop.

"She's the Raikage." Said Luffy laughing, "Naruto always told me he wanted to meet her."

"How long do you think he'll be like this?" asked Sakura.

Luffy shrugged… and so after a minute of Naruto acting like a crazed annoying fan boy…. Sakura pounded him to the ground…

"Naruto…" she yelled, "Don't you think we have other things to do other than you being a fan boy over a Kage!"

"It's okay." Said Yugito, "If he didn't act that way, I would have been worried… I figured I was his idol when it came to Kages ever since Kakashi told me that Naruto wanted to be one."

"So what's so good about you that would make Naruto act like that… even with what's going on? Even though he's an idiot?" asked Sasuke.

Yugito sighed

"Naruto and I are a lot alike…" said Yugito, "He and I share a bond that's shouldn't be shared with anyone due to its nature."

Everyone tried to think what it was… it was Hinata who realized it, "You're a Jinchuriki too… aren't you?"

Yugito nodded, she gained two flaming blue tails and two cat ears.

"I am the holder of the Nibi no Nekomata… the two tailed demon cat." Explained Yugito.

"That's why I'm such a fan boy both of us have demons inside us…" said Naruto.

"Demons… you make it sound like we're weak... we're Biju kings… or in Nibi's case Queens of all demons…" said Kyubi.

Naruto rolled his eyes then remember something, "Can you ask Nibi something for me?"

"What?" asked Yugito.

"Can you ask her has Kyubi always been a pervert?" asked Naruto.

"Has he always been a pervert?" answered Nibi, "He used to goad Hachibi into picking up innocent maidens with his tails just so he could picture naughty tentacles doing their thing! Tell him that!"

Yugito sweat dropped, "Yeah… he was…" said Yugito.

"What did she say?" asked Naruto with a sweat drop.

"I'd rather not repeat it…" sighed Yugito.

"Oh I know what she said… I can't believe I forgot it… all those times I made Hachibi pick up innocent maidens with his tails… those images were perfect." Said Kyubi giggling immaturely.

"Ewww…" said Naruto out loud, he has learned a long time ago that the Hachibi no Ushi-oni had tentacle like tails.

"Does anyone know what they're talking about?" asked Zoro.

"Is the real question… do you want to know what they're talking about?" asked Kiba with a sweat drop.

"Come, we should hurry, we have to go." Said Yugito calling back her ears and tails.

And so they headed off to Baroque works HQ.

""So you know about Baroque Works?" asked Vivi.

"I've been watching their movements for the past 3 years in secret. I'm sorry I couldn't help you sooner, but I was after someone else. Not Crocodile." Said Yugito.

"Who?" asked Naruto.

"Lord Kazekage." Said Yugito.

"The Kazekage?" asked Naruto blinking, "The weird thing is that he's the one I know nothing about… I don't even know anything about his real name either… it's a complete blank…"

"None of us like him… he's our black sheep, 14 years ago the 4th Hokage tried to get disgraced… If you know what he did you would try to kill him Naruto… no matter what you believe in." Muttered Yugito.

"Wait why me?" asked Naruto… who realized something. "What does it have to with the Biju?"

"I'm only going to tell if you have to know… and you don't have to know yet." Said Yugito.

Naruto began to pout, "No fair.." muttered Naruto.

"Wait, are you saying that Crocodile has the Kazekage on his side?" asked Kiba.

"Yes, the two of them were best friends when they were younger… so I'm not surprised he's in on this…" said Yugito, "If can get enough evidence of this then I can disgrace him once and for all… and this time no one will block it." Muttered Yugito.

Yugito seemed to be slightly one fire.

"Um… Yugito…" said Naruto.

Yugito sweat dropped and calmed down.

"Sorry… it's sometimes whenever I get angry my powers activate on accident." Said Yugito laughing nervously.

"Wait how did you know that we were stopping Crocodile?" asked Vivi.

"Anko told me…" said Yugito she held up a letter she got from Anko, "Luffy told her you were trying to stop the rebellion so I decided to see if you knew the truth about it or not."

"Oh yeah… I did tell her that." Said Luffy laughing.

"A group of people is always better than one person if we're working towards the same goal." Said Yugito.

"You know what I just realized… we have no idea where we're headed." Said Sasuke.

That made everyone sweat drop and sit down to look at a map.

"Okay, this oasis Rainbase, north of Yuba is where we will be able to find him." Said Vivi.

"Is there water there?" asked Chopper.

"Yes and it's a gambling town so there's not many rebels." Explained Vivi.

"Gambling?" asked Chopper with a shiver.

"Oooh Gambling." Said Nami happily.

"If you see any debt collators please hide me…" said Chopper with a sweat drop.

"You're the reindeer who was raised by Tsunade… weren't you?" asked Yugito with a sweat drop, after all they didn't call the woman he was raised by a legendary sucker for nothing.

"Okay we need to keep an eye on Nami and Chopper…" said Sakura.

"What's that supposed to mean?" asked Nami with a sweat drop.

"I know you…" said Sakura.

"Gum Keep Away!" yelled Luffy.

Everyone looked to see Luffy and Usopp fighting over the water.

"That dried up old man dug this water just for us, we can't waste a drop." Said Luffy.

"Since when are you the voice the restraint?" asked Nami.

"Haven't I always been." Said Luffy.

"Wow this is a weird day, your brother's showing restraint, we're allying ourselves with a Kage that's a Jinchuriki against a Kage that made a Jinchuriki… I wonder how weirder this day would get…" said Kyubi.

Naruto's eye twitched, "What did you just say?" asked Naruto.

"Um… just ignore what I said… I never meant to tell you that…" said Kyubi.

"I'm going to kill that Kazekage!" yelled Naruto which earned several sweat drops.

That's when Naruto suddenly passed out.

"So Kyubi knew the reason…" sighed Yugito who picked up her fellow Jinchuriki.

"We should hurry…" said Zoro getting up as the others did… note Zoro was heading the wrong direction.

"North is this way." Said Nami.

"I wonder what could Naruto so angry?" asked Hinata.

"I don't know he seemed pretty pissed." Said Kiba.

"Kyubi knew the reason why the Kazekage was nearly disgraced…" said Yugito.

"Kyubi was out there longer than I was, so I'm not surprised he heard about that happened to Shukaku… Again…" said Nibi.

"Yeah…" thought Yugito.

"You have to tell them… you can't just hide until he shows up." Said Nibi.

Yugito nodded, "I think I should tell you one more thing, Baroque Works has a Jinchuriki on their side as well… unlike Naruto and I… he is a true monster. "

"What do you mean a true monster?" asked Usopp.

"I'm sure he won't go after you." Said Yugito.

"Knowing Gaara he wouldn't go after that Pinocchio." Said Nibi with a laugh.

"I don't care!" yelled Luffy, "I know Naruto's going to kick his ass!"

"Leaving it to Naruto? You sure about that?" asked Sasuke with a sweat drop.

"Of course, Naruto wouldn't like it if someone else fought him." Said Luffy.

"Even if he's a monster, I know for a fact Naruto can beat him." Said Yugito with a smile.

Yugito smiled at she looked at the Naruto's necklace… she knew he wouldn't steal it from Tsunade… and live…

"Tsunade gave him that necklace… I'm sure of it… Naruto… you're the only that save Gaara." Thought Yugito.

With Naruto mindscape, he was glaring at the fox demon that lives inside his head.

"Look, I'm sorry I didn't tell you that the Kazekage had his son made in a Jinchuriki… I knew you knew there was one your age… but… I didn't think you would be so pissed off about it…"

"The fact he's alive really pisses me off!" yelled Naruto, "The 4th Hokage died to seal you inside me… so who died…"

"His wife…" said Kyubi.

"Bastard!" yelled Naruto, "You knew about this… and you never told me?"

"Hey… I knew with you Kage love you would eventfully find out… I just never thought this way…" said Kyubi, "And besides… you need to fight him…"

"Why?" thought Naruto.

"He's someone who clearly don't have people to are for him… have you ever thought what you would be like with your friends…" said Kyubi.

"You just want me to fight Shukaku… don't you?" asked Naruto.

Kyubi laughed, "That's a good one… Sanbi the guy who can't use his powers can take on Shukaku… he spread it around that he' to be referred as Shukaku… not Ichibi because he's so weak." Said Kyubi, "That's why he became a drunk… he's so weak that he's on his 3rd Jinchuriki… that's pretty weak."

Naruto sweat drop… "He's really that weak?" he asked.

"From what I gather from what Yugito was saying he lacks his Devil fruit… but he still is very powerful… you have no choice but to fight him…" said Kyubi, "And besides he knows you'er in the group so I'm guessing he wants to kill you."

Naruto sweat dropped, "Great…" he said.

"The one time you don't have the "I'm going to kick his ass!" sprit you not sure what you should do." Sighed Kyubi.

"Look!" yelled Naruto who sigh, "You're right…"

"Just think about it… either way you're stuck." Said Kyubi.

Naruto sighed, "Why do I have the feeling like he's a true monster… if I fight him… can I win?" he thought.

Meanwhile outside and at the palace… on the roof top, Ino's two childhood buddies were on the roof, Shikamaru was lying on his back watching the clouds go by… while Choji ate potato chips next to him.

"It's so peaceful today…" said Shikamaru as he watched the clouds roll by.

"It's too bad this peace won't last." Said Choji.

"Man this too troublesome, our first mission will be aiding in an assault on the Rebels…" said Shikamaru.

That's when their father's, Inoichi and the two other high ranking guards Chaka and Pell showed up.

"Let me guess, the King finally relented." Said Shikamaru.

"No… it's a lot more complicated than that." Said Shikaku.

"How so?" asked Choji.

"It's a long story…" sighed Shikaku.

"The main point is that Ino and Vivi are alive!" yelled Inoichi.

"Ino?" asked Choji blinking.

"How is that your daughter comes first?" asked Shikamaru.

"We want to talk to you about a very special mission." Said Pell.

"I'm listening." Said Shikamaru with a smirk, anything not fight the rebels were cool in his book.

The 5 of them began to explain the letters they received from Vivi (and a lesser extent Ino)… about how Vivi was traveling with a strong group of companions and that Ino was among them and that Crocodile was the one behind everything.

"Gee… a government sanctioned pirates had a ulterior motive for working for the government… what a surprise." Muttered Shikamaru.

Everyone stared at Shikamaru and sighed.

"So what's this mission?" asked Choji.

"You see right now we think it's best if you two find Vivi and her companions and aid them." Said Shikaku.

"Is it because we don't have any actual battle experience and this will have the least combat?" asked Shikamaru.

Chaka sighed, "Yes, it is." He said.

Shikamaru smirked when he got up, "All right." He said, "Come on Choji, we'll leaving now."

"Now you don't even know where she is!" yelled Pell.

"I can figure out to find her." said Shikamaru with a smirk, "I know this desert like the back of my hand… and the only person here I have ever lost a game of Shogi to is my father."

Choji nodded in agreement and the two of them left.

"So none of you ever beat him at Shogi yet have you?" asked Shikaku.

It became awkwardly silent among the higher ranked Court Guards… it was their secret shames that none of them could ever beat a teenager in strategy games like Shogi, Go or Chess… what's even worse was Shikamaru was beating them all before the age of 10… it might seem sad for them but it only goes to show that there was hope for the next generation… should nothing bad happen.

Next Time: The crew arrives in Rainbase, unfortunately with so many enemies they have to spilt up! What will happen? Also Naruto's still unsure whether or not he should fight the Jinchuriki that with the enemy... and Yugito's not helping with the story about the time she fought another Jinchuriki.
