Naruto: Shinobi Hunters
Digi-Destined saga
A New Life arc
Kurama no Kyubi: Hello people. In this here chapter, I'll introduce the Akatsuki into the story, as well as two new important characters.
fearofvengeance: Nice chapter interested in your story since I think i never read a narutodigimon crossover where it happens in the Naruto world will Akatsuki have digimon partners though will Naruto will have chakra chains like Kushina for the harem though I hope you DONT add Ino Sakura and Hinata please they are way overused and I really never like them that much though I hope you consider Mei Karin Tayuya Yugito Samui Shion Shizuka and Koyuki overall good story hope you update soon
Kurama no Kyubi: Yeah, I've never read a Naruto/Digimon crossover where it happens in the Naruto world either. I hadn't really thought of giving Naruto the Chakra Chains, but good idea, I'll think about it. As for your suggestions for the harem, I think I've said this already, but before the time-skip, only those girls between 8 and 18 will be in the harem. Also I hadn't planned on adding Sakura, Ino and Hinata at all, so don't worry about that. As for whether the Akatsuki will have Digimon partners or not, no, only the Digi-Destined will… and Luu too of course.
J.A.F.F: for shanks' kekki genki, how about more power & chakra with pain.
Kurama no Kyubi: Good idea, but what do you mean by "chakra with pain"?
cydain: can't what tell the next chapter
Kurama no Kyubi: Wait's over.

Dorumon: Kurama no Kyubi doesn't own anything.
Chapter 4: The Nanabi Jinchuriki
Naruto walked across the Land of Grass as he was heading back towards Uzushio. He had parted ways with Kurotsuchi and Iwa a few days ago, and he thought it best to walk around the Land of Fire. Of course he could have gone through it via Digi-Quartz, but he didn't wanna fight Digimon every step of the way.
'I can't believe that Mizuki-teme actually thought that Kuro-chan was my girlfriend. Well, now that I think about it, she was kinda pretty. Hmmm, wonder what she thinks of me…' He thought as a blush crept its on his cheeks.
"Hey, Naruto. What's wrong? You're face's all red. Thinking about "Kuro-chan" again?" Dorumon asked from the X-Loader.
"What? My face isn't red!" Naruto yelled as the blush spread to his entire face.
"And look, it's getting even redder." Dorumon said before bursting out in laughter.
"Shut up!" Naruto quickly said before putting the X-Loader in his weapons pouch.
As he continued walking however, he started feeling an ominous presence in the air, and he quickly hid behind a tree. As he looked out from his hiding place, he saw two people.
One of them had green eyes, a mask that covered his mouth and nose, and he had a scratched Taki Hitai-ate. The other one was a girl that couldn't be more than two years older than Naruto with long silver hair, silver eyes and she had a scratched Hoshi Hitai-ate on her forehead. But what caught the blond's eyes the most were the black robes with red cloud patterns that both of them wore.
'Akatsuki!' Naruto thought, remembering his last encounter with two Akatsuki members, and fearing that these two were just as powerful or even more powerful, he started to sneak away, but then he noticed something. The man was carrying an unconscious girl over his shoulder.
"Kage Bunshin no jutsu!" Naruto whispered as a clone appeared next to him, and they started making a Rasengan.
With the two Akatsuki members
"So, Kakuzu-san. What are we going to do with the girl anyway?" The girl asked.
"Don't worry, you'll find out soon enough, Hitomi." The man known as Kakuzu said. And suddenly he stopped walking.
"Huh? Kakuzu-san, what's wrong?" Hitomi asked before someone suddenly charged at them and Kakuzu jumped out of the way, Hitomi on the other hand was hit in the stomach and was sent spiraling into a tree "Itai." Hitomi said before she opened her eyes and blushed when she saw the blonde who was – in her mind – quite handsome, before noticing the whisker marks.
"What luck, eh Kakuzu-san? First we capture the Nanabi, then the Kyubi just comes and falls into our hands as well." She said as she looked up at Kakuzu who was currently standing on a branch.
"Careful Hitomi, you shouldn't underestimate your opponent." The masked Akatsuki member said.
'The Nanabi?' Naruto thought before looking at the girl that Kakuzu was holding 'So she's a Jinchuriki just like me?'
"I know." Hitomi said as she stood up and Naruto looked towards her as she went through a series of hand signs, and the blond's eyes widened when she suddenly vanished.
"What the…?" He said, but suddenly he felt as though something punched him in the face, and he flew back into a tree "What just happened?" He asked as he stood up.
"This is my Kekkei Genkai. I can make myself completely invisible." Hitomi said, and Naruto pulled the X-Loader from his pouch.
'I might not be able to see her, but Dorumon should still be able to smell her.' He thought before holding out the X-Loader "Reload, Dorumon!"
In a stream of yellow data, Dorumon appeared and immediately looked up towards Kakuzu,
"Dorumon, one of them have turned invisible. Can see if you can find her scent?" Naruto said and the small dragon sniffed the air before looking towards Naruto.
"Metal Cannon!" He then fired a multitude of small iron balls towards his partner who quickly dodged them.
"Hey, what was that for, you stupid dragon?" Naruto yelled as he looked at his partner.
"She was standing right in front of you!" Dorumon said before looking to his left and charging towards something.
"Dash Metal!" He then slammed into something and that something flew straight into a tree as she let out a grunt of pain.
"Dino Tooth!" Dorumon called out as he jumped into the air and seemingly bit down on thin air.
In her panic, Hitomi turned herself visible, but only her body became visible however as she attempted to shake of the small dragon. She then slammed him into the tree so hard that he was forced to open his mouth – releasing Hitomi's arm – to let out a grunt of pain. Hitomi then punched Dorumon so hard that he flew straight through the tree and landed on the ground in a pile of wood, and the silver-haired girl turned towards Naruto before noticing a trail of blood coming from his nose.
"What?" She asked before looking down on her body to see that her clothes were still invisible, and she quickly made the clothes become visible again by snapping her fingers.
"Enough playing around. If we capture you as well, I'm sure that leader-sama will be pleased." She said.
"Heh, you've gotta catch me first." Naruto said as he made the Kage Bunshin hand sign and created four clones.
Three of the clones suddenly appeared under Hitomi and they kicked her up into the air "U… zu… ma… ki…" The original Naruto then used the fourth clone as a stepping stone to get above the silver-haired girl before delivering a powerful kick to her back "… Naruto Rendan!"
Hitomi then shot down and impacted with the ground as Naruto landed above her. Kakuzu then jumped down and decided to use the opportunity to knock out the blond while he wasn't looking, but just as he was about to make his move, he heard a voice behind him.
"Hyper Dash Metal!" Kakuzu wasn't able to dodge in time and was sent flying as he lost his grip on the girl and impacted with a tree.
"Oh, yeah. I'd almost forgotten about you." Naruto said before he took a few steps towards the other Akatsuki member while Dorumon kept an eye on Hitomi who was trying to get back up on her feet.
"You shouldn't let down your guard like that, it could cost you your life." Kakuzu said as he stood up, it was unclear whether he was talking to Hitomi or Naruto.
"Reload, Dorulumon!" Naruto simply said and the large wolf appeared in a stream of yellow data. Kakuzu then did something that caught everyone by surprise, he jumped up onto a branch and turned around to leave.
"I'll let you and the Nanabi go for now. Oh, and Hitomi. For being caught that easily, you are no longer a member of Akatsuki!" He said before jumping away as Naruto turned around and looked down at the girl.
"Are you all right?" He asked as he crouched down.
"Shut up, you demon!" Hitomi said in an attempt to act tough as she managed to sit up, but Naruto saw right through her act.
"Why did you join Akatsuki? I can tell that you're not like the rest of them." Naruto asked and Hitomi suddenly got a sad look on her face as she looked down at the ground.
"A few years ago, the Hoshikage – leader of my hometown, Hoshigakure – was murdered. I was in the same room when it happened, but I was invisible. Either way, the culprit knew I was there and used that fact to blame it on me, and I was forced to leave the village. I trained for a few years before coming back and tried to kill the culprit, but I failed and even gave him an excuse to make me an S-ranked missing-nin." She said.
"An S-ranked missing-nin? Why?" Naruto asked.
"Probably so he'd have an excuse to put a high bounty on my head so that countless bounty hunters would come after me. But bounty hunters weren't the only ones who came." Hitomi said.
"Akatsuki." Naruto said and the girl nodded.
"They had heard about me, and since it was uncommon for someone as young as me to have such an high bounty, they came after me and wanted me to join them. I joined them because, in them I saw a means of getting stronger, and I didn't really have any special feelings for Jinchuriki either." She said and Naruto frowned at the last part "But you're not how I expected a Jinchuriki to be like. By the way I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Hitomi."
"I'm Uzumaki Naruto." Naruto said.
"Nice to meet you, Naruto-kun." Hitomi said.
"So, what are you going to do now?" Naruto asked.
"I can't return to Akatsuki, if I'd tried they would probably just kill me, so I'm gonna go and find somewhere where I can train." Hitomi said.
"Say, could you tell me the identities of the different Akatsuki members?" Naruto asked.
"Sorry, but I only know of a few myself, the man I was partnered with Kakuzu-san, Uchiha Itachi-san and a weird plant-looking thing named Zetsu." Hitomi said.
"I see. But if you don't have any place to go, you could always come with me to Uzushio." Naruto suggested, but Hitomi shook her head.
"No, maybe some other time. Right now I've got something else I must do." She said before standing up and started walking away.
"Until we meet again, Naruto-kun." She said before vanishing as Naruto stood up, himself before bringing Dorumon and Dorulumon back into the X-Loader.
Land of Earth, Iwa, training field 1
Kurotsuchi was in the training field, training her Digimon, and right now Coronamon was sparring with a dinosaur-looking Digimon named Monochromon.
"Horn Strike!" Monochromon called out as he charged at Coronamon, attempting to stab him with his horn. Coronamon dodged however, and coated his right fist in flames before charging at the dinosaur.
"Corona-Knuckle!" He called out as he hit Monochromon's side, sending the Champion-Level into a nearby mountain wall. The dinosaur then returned to Kurotsuchi's X-Loader.
"I swear. Despite being clearly more powerful than Coronamon, none of these guys can still beat him." Kurotsuchi said as she looked at her different Digimon.
"That's because I've been training in other ways than just through battle. Plus, you've taught me some of those ninja techniques that you humans use nowadays." Coronamon said.
"I suppose you're right." Kurotsuchi said.
"Who's ever heard of a Digimon that can wield Ninjutsu?" Kurotsuchi and Coronamon turned towards the voice to see Luu and the one the voice belonged to, Salamon.
"And what are you doing here, Luu-san?" Kurotsuchi asked.
"My, my. Is that any way to treat an old friend?" Luu asked.
"Who said we were friends? What do you want?" Kurotsuchi demanded.
"Well, Kurotsuchi-san. There's a very powerful Digimon currently roaming the Land of Earth, and he's on his way here. Of course he's in Digi-Quartz, but he's so powerful that even though he's in another dimension, he can still cause massive devastation to the Real World. I wouldn't dare to think what would happen if he got here." Luu said and Kurotsuchi's eyes widened before Luu continued "I was going to have Naruto-san help you, but he's still just a rookie with only three Digimon."
"So, I'm going in alone, huh?" Kurotsuchi asked and Luu nodded before turning around and walking away.
"Be careful. He's far stronger than any other opponent you've ever faced." He said and Kurotsuchi looked down on her partner.
"You ready for this, Coronamon?" She asked and Coronamon nodded "Then return." And Coronamon went into the X-Loader before Kurotsuchi held it in front of herself "Time-Shift!"
"Why did you unleash such a powerful Digimon, Luu-sama?" Salamon asked as Kurotsuchi jumped into the portal.
"I didn't." Luu said.
"Nani? But if you didn't, then who did?" Salamon asked.
"I don't know, but I suspect it was one of those Digimon." Luu said.
"What do you mean by "Those Digimon"?" Salamon asked.
"Don't worry about it for now." Luu said.
Land of Waterfalls, cave
The girl slowly opened her eyes to see that she was in a cave, she also noted that it was currently raining outside, but she couldn't see any trace of the man who had attacked her. However, she did see someone sitting at the cave's entrance, staring out into the forest.
The girl then attempted to stand up without making a sound, but she suddenly felt an intense pain in her right ankle, and she fell back down.
"I see that you're finally awake." The one sitting at the entrance said without turning to her.
"W-who are you?" The girl asked before looking around "Where's the guy that attacked me?"
"I'm Uzumaki Naruto. Well, I suppose it would be more appropriate to say Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto. Oh, and don't worry about the guy that attacked you, I managed to save you from him." Naruto said.
"Uzumaki… Naruto? But you're the hero of our village, why would you save someone like me?" The girl asked.
"I saved you because… we're the same!" Naruto said and the girl's eyes widened in disbelief.
"What do you mean?" The girl asked.
"I'm a Jinchuriki just like you, my tenant is the Kyubi. What about you?" Naruto said.
"My name's Fu, and my tenant is the Nanabi." The girl, now identified as Fu said.
"The Seven-Tails, huh?" Naruto said before holding up a weird device and said "Reload, Cutemon!"
To Fu's surprise, a yellow stream of some kind of energy came out of the device and materialized into a cute little pink rabbit-looking creature.
"Cutemon, that girl's wounded. Can you heal her?" Naruto asked and the creature, Cutemon stared towards Fu.
"I've never healed a human before, kyu. But I'll try, kyu." Cutemon said before walking over to Fu who backed away a little as the small Digimon put his hands on her injured leg and a green glow surrounded the creature's small hands.
"Don't worry, he won't bite." Naruto said before a thought occurred to him "Say, Fu-chan. why don't you come with me to Uzushiogakure?"
"Uzushio? I've never heard of that place before." Fu said.
"It was the home village of the Uzumaki clan, though it was destroyed during the last great ninja war." Naruto said.
"But aren't you of Konoha?" Fu asked.
"Not anymore. That idiot council decided to banish me from the village." Naruto said.
"Huh? Why?" Fu asked.
"My best friend, Uchiha Sasuke attempted to defect to Orochimaru. I stopped him, and after a long battle, both of us were half-dead. Afterwards the council decided to banish me because I hurt their "precious little Uchiha"." Naruto said.
"Typical village council." Fu said, earning a chuckle from the blond.
"There, I'm done, kyu." Cutemon said when he was done healing Fu's leg just as the rain stopped.
"Naruto-san, how is it that you can seem so… normal? Despite being a Jinchuriki." Fu asked.
"Well, I probably had just as hard a life as you did, but I suppose it was mostly thanks to jiji, Teuchi-san, Ayame-nee-chan and Iruka-sensei that I didn't lose my mind. They saw me for who I really am, and they saved me." Naruto said.
"You're lucky. I only ever had two friends, including the current leader of the village, Shibuki-kun." Fu said as the clouds started to part and sunlight came down as Naruto stood up.
"Well, Fu-chan. What do you say? Wanna come with me?" The boy asked as he turned around, holding out his hand while smiling brightly as rays of sunlight shone down on him. To Fu, it was the most beautiful sight that she had ever seen, and as she started blushing, she took the boy's hand.
Digi-Quartz, Land of Earth
Kurotsuchi held up her D-Ark as there was some kind of holographic radar above the screen, and the radar showed that there was a large red mark in front of her.
"So that's my target. He's much bigger than I thought he'd be." She said as she looked towards the large Digimon in front of her.
He was the size of a mountain, with six volcanos on his back. He was walking on four long legs and had a long neck with a dragon-like head at the end.
"Volcdramon, Ultimate-Level Digimon. Volcdramon is a Dragon Digimon whose name and design is derived from "Volcano Dramon." It is a Volcano Dragon Digimon that inhabits the magma beds of the active volcanoes that dot the Digital World. It is said that volcanic eruptions occur due to the activity of Volcdramon, so the Digital World's volcanologists study not volcanic activity, but the activity of Volcdramon and the stirring of volcanoes. Although its appearance is that of a terrifying figure, its personality is gentle, and it is not the type to like conflict. However, if it's offended just once, you will surely suffer its scorching attacks like a "raging fire". Its attacks are: Volcanic Fount and Circle of Death." Kurotsuchi red the information on the D-Ark before putting the small device away and pulling out the X-Loader.
"Reload, Coronamon, Birdramon, Gotsumon, Ankylomon!" She said and a stream of yellow data came out to reveal the Coronamon, two Birdramon and three Gotsumon.
The Birdramon were fire birds that were covered in red feathers, and had sharp teeth in their beaks. And the Gotsumon looked humanoid except that they were made of stone.
"Birdramons, Digi-Xros!" Kurotsuchi said.
Both Birdramon then fused together to form a much bigger Digimon, She was about 100 meters tall, had large humanoid arms and legs, and a pair of wings coming out of her back. She also had a mask covering her head, a beak for a mouth and long blond hair.
"Garudamon!"
"Gotsumons, Digi-Xros!" Kurotsuchi said.
The three Gotsumon then fused into one as they became taller and silver-colored.
"Meteormon!"
"Coronamon, Ankylomon, Digi-Xros!" Kurotsuchi said.
Coronamon and Ankylomon then fused together and Coronamon got Ankylomon's tail.
"Coronamon Tail-Hammer Mode!"
"Shadow Wing!" Garudamon called out, sending a vacuum blade shaped like a bird flying towards Volcdramon at super-speed before said attack impacted with the large Digimon, but it didn't seem to cause any damage.
"Cosmo Flash!" Meteormon called out and several beams suddenly came down from space and impacted with Volcdramon, but there were still no damage done.
"Coronamon. Have Garudamon carry you up to above Volcdramon's head, and hit him on his head with your tail-hammer!" Kurotsuchi ordered.
"Right." Coronamon Tail-Hammer Mode said before jumping up and landing on Garudamon's hand before the large Ultimate took off. When they were close enough to Volcdramon's head, Coronamon Tail-Hammer Mode jumped towards the gigantic Digimon's head.
"Tail Hammer!" He called out before hitting Volcdramon's head with his hard tail, but there weren't even a reaction from the behemoth, like if he didn't even acknowledge their presence at all.
"Nani? Why aren't anything working? Garudamon!" Kurotsuchi said.
"As you wish. Crimson Claw!" Garudamon said as her fist was covered in flames and she punched Volcdramon's head, but he didn't even flinch.
Coronamon Tail-Hammer Mode landed on Garudamon's shoulder and suddenly, the volcanoes on Volcdramon's back erupted, and the smoke covered a wide area, and Garudamon, Meteormon and Coronamon Tail-Hammer Mode transformed back into the two Birdramon, the three Gotsumon, Coronamon and Ankylomon before they as well as Kurotsuchi fainted from inhaling too much of the dangerous gasses.
With Luu and Salamon
On a nearby hill were Luu and Salamon watching the battle.
"I had hoped she'd at least last a little longer than that, but I suppose that she's not yet ready to fight an Ultimate with power close to that of a Mega." Luu said before sighing.
"Then what should we do, Luu-sama?" Salamon asked.
"Well, we can't afford to let Iwa be destroyed now. So the best thing to do would be to seal that Volcdramon into another dimension that's even further away from the Real World. Though that'll only be a temporary solution. After all, it was one of them that let him loose in this world." Luu said before he shunshined away.
Real World, Land of Fire, two days later
After Fu had decided to join Naruto, they had headed to Taki to talk to the village's leader – Shibuki – to get his approval for Fu moving to Uzushio, and he was more than happy to comply.
Currently the duo were walking through an open plain in the Land of Fire before they would go to the Land of Steam and from there to the Land of Whirlpools. Of course, Naruto still had no idea of how to get to the island since he still didn't have any flying Digimon.
"Uzumaki Naruto, we meet at last." Naruto and Fu then looked towards where the voice came from to see a man with green hair, a white shirt, black pants, a green waistband, a black bandana wrapped around his left bicep and three swords that went down from his right hip.
"Who are you?" Naruto asked.
"I'm a bounty hunter. Name's Roronoa Zolo." The man, now identified as Zolo said.
"A bounty hunter? Then why're you here?" Naruto asked.
"Don't play stupid. I'm here to collect the bounty of 50.000 ryo on your head." Zolo said.
"Wait, there's a bounty on my head?" Naruto asked.
"Take a look yourself if you don't believe me." Zolo said before he threw a Bingo-Book towards Naruto and the blond picked it up and his eyes widened when he saw the want4ed poster of himself.
"I don't know what you did, but it was terrible enough for Konoha to place such high bounty on you." Zolo said as he pulled the bandana of his bicep before wrapping it around his forehead and grabbing his swords, one in each hand and one in his mouth.
'So the council decided to place a high bounty on my head because I'm a Jinchuriki, huh? Are they afraid that I'd join another village or something?' Naruto thought before looking at Zolo while grabbing his X-Loader "Fu-chan, stay behind me. Reload, Dorumon!"
In a stream of yellow data, the small purple-furred dragon appeared.
"What's with the weird pet?" Zolo asked.
"He's not a pet, he's my partner." Naruto said.
"Your partner, eh? You really think that a tiny dinosaur can beat me?" Zolo asked.
"I'm not a dinosaur, I'm a dragon! And the name's Dorumon!" Dorumon said.
"Whoa, it talked." Zolo said, trying to act impressed.
All right, Dorumon. Let's see what this guy's got." Naruto said.
"Very well. Metal Cannon!" Dorumon said as he spat a multitude of metallic projectiles towards Zolo, but he just dodged them before charging at the dragon.
"Heh. This is too easy." He said as he approached Dorumon, and he swung his right sword downwards, but as it made contact with Dorumon's fur, it bounced right off with a loud klang as though it had hit iron "What the…?"
"Dash Metal!" Dorumon then slammed into Zolo and sent the swordsman skidding backwards.
Dorumon then jumped up into the air and shot down towards Zolo who looked up before rolling out of the way. Dorumon impacted with the ground, sending dust clouds into the air before he charged at Zolo again.
Zolo then crossed the swords in his hands across his chest and placed the blade in his mouth horizontally behind them.
"Oni…" He then suddenly vanished from view before appearing behind Dorumon "… Giri!" Then three cuts suddenly appeared on Dorumon's stomach before said dragon fell down on his knees.
"DORUMON!" Naruto yelled as he ran towards his partner, but then Zolo walked up in front of him, forcing the blond to come to a halt.
"You shouldn't have your pet fight me in your place." The swordsman said before raising an eyebrow as Naruto held up the weird device again.
"Reload, Cutemon!" Suddenly Cutemon appeared in a stream of data.
"What's with the rabbit?" Zolo asked.
"Cutemon, go heal Dorumon's injuries." Naruto said, ignoring Zolo's question.
"All right." Cutemon then started running around Zolo, and to Naruto's surprise, Zolo didn't attack the small pink Digimon.
"So, you're hoping that that small one will be able to heal the dinosaur before I've beaten you?" Zolo asked.
"Well, that's part of it." Naruto said before drawing his sword.
It was unlike anything that either Fu or Zolo had ever seen, the handle was pure gold and the blade was diamond, but it didn't seem to be capable of cutting anything 'cause from where the hilt meets the blade and all the way up to just above the tip of the blade were nine tail-like appendages spiraling around before meeting above the tip.
"Heh. What are you hoping to cut with that?" Zolo asked.
"This sword's stronger than you think! Dattebayo!" Naruto said before charging at his opponent.
Naruto swung the sword, but Zolo easily blocked it before attempting to stab the blond. Naruto then jumped back and swung his sword again, despite the handle being gold, it was surprisingly light. Zolo blocked the sword again before pushing Naruto back.
"A sword's strength doesn't matter unless the wielder possesses the proper skills to use it." Zolo said before charging at Naruto, but as Naruto attempted to block Zolo's swords, a red aura suddenly appeared around his own.
"What the…?" Naruto muttered to himself before swinging the sword, sending out a red crescent-shaped wave of energy that went straight through Zolo, pushing him back a little.
"Naruto, I'm done healing Dorumon!" Cutemon said and Naruto quickly sheathed his sword before pulling out the X-Loader.
"Perfect! Reload, Dorulumon!" He said before the wolf-looking Digimon appeared.
"Now it's a wolf." Zolo said with a sweatdrop before thinking 'What's with this guy?'
"Dorumon, Dorulumon, Digi-Xros!" Naruto said.
It wasn't really much of a Digi-Xros. Dorulumon just transformed into two large cannons with Dorumon standing in-between them, ready to fire.
"Dorumon, Dorulu Cannon!"
"Okay, I admit. I seriously didn't expect that to happen." Zolo said.
"Dorulu Cannon!" Dorumon called out as he fired at Zolo, but said swordsman jumped out of the way.
"Listen, Zolo. I didn't do anything to deserve a bounty on my head!" Naruto said.
"Yeah, right. Like I'm gonna believe that." Zolo said before charging at the blond.
"I'm a Jinchuriki!" Naruto yelled and Zolo stopped in his tracks as the blond continued "I stopped the last of the Uchiha from defecting to Orochimaru and that stupid council decided to banish me for hurting him. They probably placed a bounty on my head so that a bounty hunter would kill me before I could join another village."
"I see. In that case…" Zolo said before sheathing his swords and turning to walk away as the Dorulu Cannon transformed back into Dorulumon.
"Wait, where are you going?" Naruto asked.
"I don't know." Zolo said as he pulled his bandana off his head and wrapped it around his bicep.
"Then, why don't you come with us?" Naruto asked.
"Huh?" Zolo turned to him with a look of confusion "I just tried to kill you and you want me to come with you?"
"Sure, why not?" Naruto said before continuing "It's a lot better then just walking around aimlessly, isn't it? Besides, I would need someone to teach me how to wield a sword."
"Heh, alright. I'll come with you, and I'll teach you how to wield a sword." Zolo said.
"GREAT! Welcome to the team, Zolo-sensei!" Naruto cheered.
"Don't call me sensei. Call me "Zolo-san" or something instead, or don't add an honorific at all." Zolo said as he began walking.
"All right, Zolo-san." Naruto said before noticing in which direction the swordsman was walking in "Um, you're going in the wrong direction."
"I knew that!" Zolo yelled back before turning around and Naruto returned his Digimon to the X-Loader and the trio walked towards Uzushio.
Land of Rice-Paddies, Otogakure
A man with white skin, yellow snake eyes and long black hair was inside of a dimly lit room which seemed to be some kind of laboratory. There was also a table with the unconscious form of what looked like a Digimon on it. There were also several tanks in the room, holding what appeared to be Digi-Eggs.
"That Kyubi brat might have stopped my plans of obtaining Sasuke-kun's body. But thanks to you, I won't need his body – or the Sharingan – any longer." The man said.
"Of course you won't. Merging the data of a Digimon with your own cells will grant you powers even far beyond your wildest imagination." A voice came from a dark corner of the room.
"Why didn't you tell me about this before?" The man asked.
"1. I didn't know if I could trust you with this information, and 2. You weren't ready to learn how to merge Digimon data with human cells. In fact you might not survive the process at all." The voice said.
"Then teach me how, Luu-kun. Kukukuku." The man said as Luu walked out of the dark corner and into the light.
"Gladly." He said with a sadistic smile on his face.
