A/N: Sorry, I meant to update this sooner... but I've been addicted to Pokémon Black these past couple of weeks... and before anyone asks, I only got Black. Enjoy the chapter and I plan to update Monday to make up for the missing week.
Chapter 160: Secret of the Gentle Fist
Hinata sighed, she remembered what her father once taught when she was younger.
(Flashback)
Hiashi was sitting in front of his nephew and daughters.
"There is one thing I need to tell you about the Gentle Fist." Said Hiashi.
"What is it?" asked Hinata.
"In this world there are people who are able to predict moves." Explained Hiashi.
"Is that even possible?" Said Hanabi (Hinata's younger sister).
"It is." Said Hiashi, "However, one of the reasons that the gentle fist was created was to overcomes such defenses."
"Does it overcome these defenses?" asked Neji.
"They do." Said Hiashi, "If someone's only defense is their prediction then the gentle fist can defeat them easily"
(End of Flashback)
Satori managed to get up and jump in front of Hinata.
"Ha! Whatever you didn't even leave a mark!" he taunted.
"Actually, the gentle fist attacks the internal organs." Said Hinata.
That was when Satori fell over shouting "My spleen!"
He fell over back to the ground causing everyone to sweat drop.
"I need someone to take the boat!" called out Hinata.
Naruto managed to jump into the boat.
"All right Hinata! I know you can beat him! I believe in you." Said Naruto, knowing that Hinata needed a little extra push.
"You really do?" asked Hinata.
"Of course I do." Said Naruto.
Hinata jumped down to the ground.
Satori got up and saw Hinata. Tears streamed down his cheek, he was going to be beaten to a pulp…. Well his organs were.
Meanwhile at the Going Merry, Chopper was trying to shore up the ship. That when he noticed the whistle.
(Flashback)
Due to people wanting to blow the whistle and those fighting over who would take care the whistle. Nami came up with a brilliant idea.
"Okay" she said, "We'll hang the whistle on the mast."
"I'm fine with it." Said Ino.
"Yeah." Said Usopp.
Nami turned to Luffy, Zoro, Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Sanji, Gaara, Robin and Isaribi (as well as the Kages, but they were on another level than the Straw Hats).
"I don't want you 9 to anywhere near this whistle." Said Nami.
"What we don't count?" asked Anko.
"I think she's only counting the crew." Said Kakashi.
"I see…" said Anko.
"Why am I counted among the weak?" asked Kiba.
"Because…" said Nami.
The two ended bickering for several minutes, ending with Kiba vowing to himself not to use the whistle.
(End of Flashback)
That was when someone dressed like a fighter pilot riding a giant bird flew up behind him. So Chopper blew the whistle.
Meanwhile with the group that went exploring, Robin was looking over a well that was surrounded by tree roots.
"That is strange." Said Kakashi.
"I know." Said Robin, "No was expecting that this tree would get this large."
Nami was on a high tree looking through binoculars trying to find anything, that is when she saw something that made her freeze.
"Nami what is it?" asked Sakura on the ground.
"It can't be." Whispered Nami.
Back with the rescue team, Hinata got into battle position. She began to quickly jab Satori as fast as she could.
"It's all up to me!" she thought.
Within a minute it was all over, Satori was on the ground and Hinata was standing over him.
Luffy managed to take over the boat while Naruto jumped down.
"Hinata!" yelled Naruto.
Hinata turned around and saw Naruto running towards her.
"That was amazing." Said Naruto.
"Thank you." Said Hinata.
The two of them were silent.
"Naruto… I want to tell you something." Said Hinata.
"What is it?" asked Naruto.
"I…" said Hinata.
But before she could even finish her sentence Anko showed up and congratulate her.
"That was great!" said Anko patting Hinata back.
And so once again, the moment was killed.
That was when Ino woke up…
"What did I miss?" asked Ino.
"If I tell you then it will just piss you off." Said Kiba.
Ino saw Anko talking to Naruto and Hinata… both of them had a look on their faces that looked as if Anko ruined the mood somehow.
"Don't blame me." Said Kiba.
"I won't… this time…" muttered Ino.
Back with the explorer group, they got to what Nami had seen in the distance. It was a house… well… half a house… half a house that looked very family.
"It wasn't built that way." Said Isaribi.
"I was wondering why there was a second floor, but no stairs." Said Nami, "I was wondering why they would build a house on a cliff…"
"That's because it wasn't a natural cliff." Said Sasuke.
They all looked at the house… it was half a house… half a house that very familiar.
"This is the missing part of Jaya." Said Kakashi.
"Then that means El Dorado… the lost city of gold has been floating in the sky…" said Nami, "Thank you god!"
Everyone sweat dropped.
"We should get back to the ship." Said Sakura, "And tell Chopper about this and wait for the others."
Nami walked over to Sakura and began to pet her head, "Don't worry Sakura. I wouldn't go off to find it by myself." She said.
"Please don't treat me like a child." Said Sakura glaring at her.
"I think we should head back." Said Kakashi, "You don't know what kind of trouble Chopper might be in."
With Chopper he had tried to rescue Gan Fall and Pierre from the water, by jumping in… which made him sink as well. Fortunately giant South Birds saved him.
Back with the rescue team, they entered a failed sometime after leaving Satori's area (the boat was really slow, it took a long time to get out of that ball filled forest). A field that was creepy, why?
"Wow this place is interesting." Said Anko.
"What's wrong with you! This place is full of skulls!" yelled Usopp.
"What was that?" asked Anko.
"Nothing." Said Usopp.
"If there's another priest, I'm sure Hinata can take him down." Said Naruto.
Hinata blushed when he said.
That was when a large group of people showed up, they looked exactly like the guerillas from before. One of them shot at the boat, but Luffy used Gum Gum Balloon in time, sending the black right back at them. However it didn't hit any of them.
"So you're the blue sea dwellers who's shaking things up around here." Said one that shot them.
"Yeah, what of it?" asked Anko.
"You're not a member of this crew you know." Pointed out Usopp.
"You better not get between our fight between us and Eneru!" yelled the man who shot them (and seemed to be the leader).
"Why?" asked Luffy, "Aren't you on the same side?"
"Eneru is our enemy." Said the guerrilla.
"Besides Luffy, the word "guerrilla" tends to be someone who's fighting against an oppressive government." Said Ino.
Luffy sweat dropped when she said that.
"You better leave, I don't want to have to erase you just like Eneru!" yelled the guerilla who then skated away.
"Looks like they're our enemy too." Said Naruto.
"Great…" whined Usopp, "I knew this was going to be trouble."
"Now's not the time." Muttered Kiba.
At the altar, everything had calmed down, however the group that went exploring at arrived and saw what happened to the ship.
"Chopper! Are you okay!" yelled Sakura.
"The mast is gone." Said Kakashi.
"That's not a good sign." Said Isaribi.
"You think!" yelled Nami.
"Chopper it's okay! You can come out! We're back!" yelled Sakura.
Chopper showed up, bandaged and crying, "I'm okay! Nothing bad happened." Said Chopper.
"It's okay! Chopper you don't have to hide anything." Said Sakura.
"Hey! There's the Going Merry!" yelled a voice.
They saw the Crow making it sow way towards the ship.
"Nami! Robin! I made it back from the Challenge of Love!" yelled Sanji.
"It was the challenge of balls!" yelled Luffy.
"And it was Hinata who did everything!" yelled Naruto.
And so the crew reunited, though they still had a lot of ahead of them, with the other Priests, the damage to the ship and the truth about the island… they had to get organized… after all they had to find that lost city of gold and nothing was going to stop them!
Next Time: The crew organizes their information and has a party... wait... what? Meanwhile what else is going on with the island? Find out next time!
