Kye kye- I did get some reviews on the last chapter mostly from those who want me to change Naruto to Naruko. I am unsure if it is the same person over and over again. Still, I will change the name down the line and make the name replace a part of the story, and only if you all want me too I would like to give a special shout out to 0greentales0 and Ryuzaki-XJ-9 for the review's for them I shall continue. Also, I am planning on having Naruto with Ace.
Months had passed since the bear attack, and Naruto's birthday had come and gone. With it came a surprise a shit load of gifts from Tsunade and the rest of the elemental nations. It had popped out of the seal that had appeared on her stomach; it wasn't like the seal that heald Kurama. She had checked and was disappointed she misses the giant fluff ball.
Naruto's first thought was trying to figure out a way to contact them but found it impossible. They sent all kinds of stuff Medical books from Tsunade about all of her techniques and even some seeds so she could grow her herbs. Various Jutsu from all over the elemental nations, even some elemental bloodline scrolls. What they expected her to do with those was baffling but accepted and treasured non the less. The thing that Naruto focused on the most was the Sealing scrolls starting from level one to expert, and then there were the scrolls left behind by Jariyah and her parents. Of course, Naruto immediately created clones and got to work on organizing everything and working on medical things. Naruto personally started to study seals.
The weeks went by like this Naruto studying and hunting and getting visits from the boys. Who instead of living with her, they left to build there own tree house for boys only. Then tragedy struck Naruto saw a great fire from the direction of Grey Terminal.
Naruto writes a quick note and puts it on the door to let the boys know where she was going before racing off to the burning trash heap. When she got there, Naruto nearly passed out from the smell of burning trash and human flesh. She could hear the people screaming in pain as they were burned alive.
Naruto ran around to see if there was any way she could get in and try to help, but the flames were too intense. Naruto then ran over to the edge of the ocean near Grey terminal and started to gather as much chakra as she could.
Unknown to the girl, she was being watched by a man in a long dark cloak.
"Sution: Tidal wave no Jutsu !" As the name stated a giant wave erupted from the ocean and splashed down on the fire putting it out
Naruto collapsed to her knees. She was not proficient in water Jutsu yet, so it left her winded. After catching her breath, Naruto sprinted into the burnt rubble, leaving a stunned man behind her.
While running through the trash, she noticed a meager amount of people and a low amount of bodies "I guess some people managed to escape. "
Naruto continues to look around, finding no one alive until she reached the edge of the forest the man was severely burnt, and she couldn't make out his features "What happened here?"
The man looks at her and coughs, "The nobles decided to get rid of all the trash." He coughs out a glob of blood. "And like an Idiot, I helped them...they said I would be a Noble...I just wanted a better life." Tears start to pour out of the man's eyes. the salty liquid was burning on its way down, "A life I would never have to worry again..."
The man stopped breathing, and Naruto leaned back on her hands. SO this man helped start the fire because the Nobles wanted to get rid of there trash and the people who lived in it. The world is so fucked up. Naruto looks around and starts to drag the bodies together to bury.
The hours passed, and it had gotten dark, so Naruto decided to sleep on a hill overlooking the ocean and the Noble village's entrance. The next morning Naruto awakens to shouting and fireworks. Looking over the mountain, she sees a large and gleaming ship approaching the town. Goa was in an uproar celebrating the arrival of whoever was on the boat.
Naruto then hears the sound of a cannon go off and saw the shiny boat firing at something in the water. Naruto quickly starts to channel chakra into her eyes. What she saw shocked her; it was Sabo in a tiny boat, and it was on fire! They were firing at one of her boys!
Naruto leaps off the hill into the water channeling chakra into her legs and begins to run along the surface towards Sabo's ship only to see red when the small vessel explodes. Naruto feels her body shifting until a giant two-tailed fox runs towards the boat with a roar.
The citizens shouted in terror as the fox sank the ship with a single swipe of its tail. It turned its head towards Goa and let out a menacing roar that caused them to turn tail and run. The fox then vanished in a large puff of smoke.
Inside the smoke was Naruto, who had heard Sabo's fading heartbeat and headed towards it to see her fellow blond covered in burns on the left side of his face and various parts of his body. He was barely holding onto a piece of wood, and he was unconscious. Naruto gently gathered Sabo in her arms and headed towards the shore where a man in a dark cloak stood.
Naruto let out a deep growl her eyes glowing red "Who are you?" the man pulls down his hood, revealing his dark hair eyes and tribal tattoo. Naruto's nose twitches, this man smelled familiar. He looked somewhat familiar, as well.
"My name is Dragon; I want to help. I have a medic on my ship, which may be able to save your friend, but we must move quickly."
Naruto Hesitates but nods and follows the man to his ship. She ignores the colorful characters who were all looking at her, and this Dragon fellow in awe until they reached the med bay. A Crossdresser starts to work on Sabo Immediately, but Naruto's hand on his arm makes him pause as the room was flooded with Naruto's killing Intent causing many on the ship to attempt to kill themselves and all of them to sweat. "If you do anything other than fix him, I'll make you wish I just killed you." The crossdresser, with the giant head, nodded in fear of this tiny girl and was extra careful when handling Sabo.
Naruto goes to a corner out of the way and sits to watch. Dragon walks over to the small girl and sits beside her, "Child." Naruto turns her slit gaze to him. "I have questions."
Naruto looks back at Sabo and saw the raw skin of the burn start to slide off of his face. "I may or may not have answers." Naruto turns back to Dragon " I also may have questions of my own. I'll answer yours if you answer mine."
"How can I be sure you're honest with me?"
Naruto smirks her elongated teeth peaking over her lips. "You don't. Are you willing to take a chance?" Dragon hesitates for a moment before nodding his head. Naruto's eyes flicker over at Sabo before she relaxes against the wall. "we shall take turns one question for you one question for me."
Dragon nods again, "Fair enough first question, who are you?"
"Naruto."
Dragon's eyebrow raises, "No last name?"
Naruto looks at him. "You only asked who I was, not my full name."
"Fair enough. What is your first question?"
Naruto doesn't say anything for a full minute as her eyes take in every feature on his face. Naruto's nose also seems to twitch in his direction before she smirks at him again. "How are you related to Monkey D. Garp?"
The room turns cold, and Dragons eyes Narrow, and his face takes on an unnaturally pale complexion "How?...why do you want to know that?"
Naruto tilts her head to the side, and her blue gaze bore into Dragon's dark brown eyes. "Fine, don't answer. I will ask my second question." Naruto's sharp eyes notice how the tension leaves Dragon's shoulders, and she can't help but laugh inwardly. "How are you related to Monkey D. Luffy?"
Naruto was never known for her tact.
Dragon's eyes widen even further, and he finally got some color in his cheeks, a beautiful bright red color. Naruto can tell he was not ready to answer these types of questions. Nor was he expecting ever to be asked these questions. He seemed to be the type to always be in control of themselves and every situation. That is until he meets Uzumaki Naruto.
The whole panic attack only lasts for a second, and most people wouldn't have even noticed. But most aint Naruto. Dragon coughs, "Why?..."
Naruto holds up her hand, stopping the man from speaking, "You keep asking me questions but providing me with no answers." Naruto stands up and walks to Sabo's bedside. The large-headed crossdresser was finishing up his bandages. "But your silence is very telling" Naruto's hands begin to glow green, and she places them on Sabo's face. "I now know, and please correct me if I am wrong ...You are the son of Marine Hero Monkey D. Garp and the father to one seven-year-old Monkey D. Luffy."
Dragon grabs Naruto up by the back of her shirt and dangles her in front of his face. Naruto doesn't fight it like with Garp; she knew this man wouldn't hurt her. "How do you know that?"
Naruto pouts at him, "You know you're more like your father than you think." At Dragon's confused look, Naruto continues, "He picked me up just like this when he kidnapped me and said I was his granddaughter."
Dagon quickly drops Naruto the horror of being anything like his father cowing him. "Why did Garp kidnap you?"
"You ask a lot of questions but never provide any answers." Naruto goes back to her corner, having done the minuscule amount of healing she has learned from Tsunade's scrolls on Sabo.
"I did..."
"NO you did not you froze and studdered, and I figured out the answers on my own."
"She's right, you know." The Large-headed crossdresser said washing his hands
Dragon pinches his nose, trying to stave off a headache. "Fine, ask your question, and I swear I shall answer."
Naruto scoffs, "I'll believe it when I see it." Naruto looks around peeks through one of the windows to see a lot of the people from grey terminal lounging around on the deck. "what exactly is it that you do?"
Dragon hesitates again, but at the look, he was given by the red blond-haired child sighs. "I am Monkey D. Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary army."
Naruto deadpans. "I ask what, you do and you tell me your title instead. I already figured out that you were in charge, here and I already knew your name. I could care less what the hell you call it. I just want to know what you do."
Dragon then goes into a very long-winded, boring, but informative lecture about his job, goal, and what he is hoping to accomplish in the world. "You are welcome to join us if you want."
Naruto shakes her head "You have a noble goal, but I'm spoken for. First come first serve and all that" Naruto turns to Sabo's bed "It looks like Sabo might be interested though"
True enough sometime during Dragon's speech, Sabo had woken up, and Naruto knew that glint in his eye. "Naruto, what happened? where are we?"
Naruto walks over to sabo's bed. "Sabo, for some reason, you were on a boat, and a jackass fired on you. Your boat exploded, and I sunk the ass hats ship before pulling you from the ocean. Dragon brought us to his boat for you to get treated."
"You were lucky Sabo boy ve ver able to save your eye."
Sabo Looks up at the Okama for the first time and pales but not for the reasons the others were thinking. Sabo could care less that the man-woman Okama looked strange; he focused more on the loss of his eye. "My eye! I lost my eye?!"
"No your eye is still going to vork that's the good news the bad news is it is going to leave a scar on your face." The Okama says sadly running a hand through his pink hair
Naruto's eyes start to glitter, and she jumps on the bed to get into Sabo's face. "Did you hear that? you're going to have a badass scar on your face.!"
Sabo Blinks up at the excited girl and laughs, "Naruto, you are some kind of special!"
A blush travels across Naruto's cheeks, staining them a lovely pink to Sabo's amusement. Without her permission, her tails unwound from her waist to wag behind her in happiness. Dragon's attention was immediately drawn to the furry appendages. And he reaches out to touch them. He was quicky smacked away. "Hey, hands-off, you pervert!" Naruto growls
Dragon raises his hands in surrender. Embarrassed by his love of fluffy things, "My apologies; it is just your tails looked very soft, and I wanted to see if they were real."
Naruto takes a deep breath to calm herself down and wrap one of her tails around Sabo's arm. "It's okay, but never try to grab a part of a person's body without permission."
Dragon nods, "Understood." But his eyes still followed the unoccupied furry appendage
Naruto sighs, " Stop staring Dragon it is rude. " said the pot to the kettle "And before you ask yes they are real I was born this way. You and Garp really are related."
Dragon puts his hands over his eyes "please stop mentioning that"
Sabo looks at them both in confusion "related how?"
Naruto smiles. "He's Garp's son and Luffy's father."
Dragon soon found himself dogging the IV pole that was aimed for his head. "HOW!" swing dodge. "DARE!" swing dodge "YOU!" swing dodge, "LEAVE LUFFY!" swing dodge jump. "WITH THAT IRRESPONSIBLE ABUSIVE OLD MAN!" Sabo screams, ignoring his injuries in his quest to bash Dragon's head in.
Dragon jumps out of the way again, "Wait! Garp may be crazy, but abusive may be pushing it a little bit, right?"
Naruto shakes her head "I'm going to assume you know what the FIST OF LOVE is correct?" Dragon nods, "It might be worse than you remember."
Sabo falls to his knees, breathing heavily. "That... crazy old man...broke my arm twice. Threw Luffy into a bottomless pit, Tied him to ballons, sent him flying into the air, and had him fighting monkeys. Ace and I had to jump into the pit to get him to throw rocks at the balloons to pop them and try to catch him, and we were tied up when Luffy had to fight the monkeys. Garp's idea of training us is beating us till we can't even move. All of this to turn us into Marines."
Dragon coughs behind his hand "So he has easied up a bit; he used to be a lot worse."
Sabo pales, "Worse? he used to be worse, you poor, poor man."
Dragon waves off the concern "Garp is... crazy, but he has a good heart under it all. He's hard on you all to make you stronger because that's the only way he knows how to protect you."
It's quiet for a moment before Naruto hops off the bed and non to gently tosses Sabo back onto it, ignoring his cry of protest. "Alright enough sap time to go back home."
"what? I thought we were stating here, Naruto."
Naruto shakes her head "Sabo Your boat was shot down hundreds of people saw that happen. Chances are Ace and Luffy know about it by now. The entire Island thinks your dead."
Sabo shakes his head, "But I wrote a letter to you guys to tell you all I was setting out."
"And If they have gotten that letter, they will think it was your last words. Now Dragon, let us get a move on."
"Unfortunately, we can yet. An angry fox spirit killed the celestial Dragon. now the Island is being swarmed with Marines." Dragon runs his fingers through his hair. "I am a criminal to the world government, so I need to wait for it to die down before returning you home." Naruto and Sabo nod in understanding and settles down.
And that was how Naruto meets Dragon, and Sabo lived/ retained his memory.
Kye kye - hope you all enjoyed, please drop a review and tell me what you think.
