Naruto: Shinobi Hunters

Digi-Destined saga

Shinobi Gathering arc

Kurama no Kyubi: Okay, people, the faces of the other three Yonko will finally be revealed, and while some of them might be the same as in One Piece canon, at least one of them will be a non-One Piece char.

ImagineBreaker7: Awesome chapter I look forward to seeing what will happen when Naruto meets Juugo.

Kurama no Kyubi: Well, you'll soon find out.

DPSS: Hey, don't you think you're showing all the powerfull enemies way to soon. And aren't you focusing in the old generations a litle to much instead of improving the new one.

Kurama no Kyubi: Yeah, you could say that I'm showing all the powerful enemies a little too soon, but hey, this is my story and I'll do as I like with it. Oh, and you don't need to worry 'cause after this chapter I'll mostly be focusing on the newer generation for a good while, though that doesn't mean that they won't face enemies that are WAY out of their league.

name: whose jiraiya's partner is most likey shogungekomon because if he had a partner lile mervamon he would spend all his time masturbating bet his xros loaders full of a harem of female digimon lol

Kurama no Kyubi: I could imagine that, lol. Oh, and you just unintentionally gave me an idea of who Tsunade's partner could be.

water icicle: i'm pretty sure ranton is storm release

Kurama no Kyubi: You're right, but in this story there are three Kekkai Genkai – well, two Kekkei Genkai and one Kekkei Touta – that can be referred to as "Ranton". Cloud-Style; which comes from the combination of water and wind, Storm-Style; which comes from the combination of water and lightning, and Hurricane-Style; which comes from the combination of water, wind and lightning.

Guest: as for your story for the Great rebirth of the uzmaki clan their should be another power that Naruto should gain aside from the dojutsu he gains as result of his attempts to master the nine-tailed fox's chakra let call this abilite states which are sort of like the chakra cloak of the fox although the change is more physical considering the fact that he bears some parts of the fox physically like the tail and ears in which he physical become some thing of copy of the nine tailed fox although his fur is yellow and his eye color remains the same only they have slits like a cat eye's. and each state is devide amongst the number of tails worth of power of the nine tailed fox that he uses with one tail he's like your average fox on all fours covered in yellow yellow albeit the size off a wolf although able to switch between moving on all fours to two legs intsantously and his sense will be quite sharp in this state enabling him to track down and be more aware of his surrounding and the more tails he uses the bigger and stronger he gets until he's the size of the one and only nine tailed fox itself albeit covered in yellow fur instead of red but sould the fox's chakra overwhelm our young hero it will cause the yellow fur in the state form to change from yellow to red in which he's somewhat under the nine tailed fox's control until somebody by some miracle manages to wake him up

Kurama no Kyubi: Thanks for the idea, I actually can't believe I didn't think about that myself… One question though; when using nine tails, will he be at the fox's original mountain-sized size or the size he's in after Minato sealed away half of his chakra within the Shinigami? 'Cause it wouldn't be much of a challenge if he was the size of a mountain and could just stomp his opponents to death.

Guest: As for abilites that Naruto and company should gain over the course of the story Ninja pirate ther should be the power of haki which should be obtained through a serous emotional and physically straining ordeal.

Kurama no Kyubi: Actually, I already thought of having Naruto learn Haki, all three types in fact. Though he won't really start mastering them till the time skip.

Shanks: Kurama no Kyubi doesn't own anything.

Chapter 12: Yonko Summit

Shanks was on the deck of his ship, standing in front of three Digimon, a Biyomon, a Hawkmon, and a Falcomon. Each of the three Digimon also had a letter in their beak.

"Do you understand your mission?" Shanks asked and the three Digimon replied by simply saluting him before flying off 'Now, let's just hope that the others will come.' He then turned to his helmsman and said "Set a course for the Coral Forest Maelstrom!"

Land of Earth, Iwa, Tsuchikage Tower

The Sandaime Tsuchikage, Onoki was sitting at his desk, reading a letter which had just gotten there with a messenger bird from the most unlikely place, Konoha.

"Hmm… So, the Slug Princess is calling for a Gokage Summit. Though she leaves out what the summit will be about." He said as he got done reading the letter as the door to his office opened.

Onoki looked up from the letter to see his son, Kitsuchi entering the room.

"Ah, Kitsuchi, perfect timing." Onoki said.

"What do you mean?" Kitsuchi asked.

"I've just been summoned by the Hokage to partake in a Gokage Summit, and I would like you to be one of my escorts." Onoki said.

"I see. But, tou-san, I came here to report on my mission." Kitsuchi said as he had just returned from a three months patrolling mission.

"Well, how did it go?" Onoki asked.

"Things were rather quiet, and there were no suspicious movements from any of the other nations, however…" Kitsuchi said.

"What is it?" Onoki asked.

Wasteland

"Hey… You gotta be tired by now. Time for a break." Suigetsu said as he was sitting on a rock while drinking from his water flask.

"How pathetic are you? The Northern Hideout is still a long way off!" Karin said.

'Right now, I'm glad that I sent Zoe back to Uzushio. It's bad enough with Karin's constant scolding of him.' Naruto thought before sitting down next to Suigetsu "Okay, let's take five minutes."

"What? Not you too!" Karin yelled.

"Just relax for a minute, will you? If this Jugo is really going to try and kill me when we meet him, then shouldn't we be in top condition?" Naruto said before continuing "You two seem to know a few things about him, mind telling me something before we meet him?"

"I know a few things about him. I was forced to fight him not too long ago. He used some interesting powers and was pretty strong. But I could never tell what he was thinking, and I never liked him. Rumor has it he came to Orochimaru of his own will… He's a little demented." Suigetsu said.

"Do you know why he came to Orochimaru?" Karin asked.

"Beats me. Didn't strike me as all that bright." Suigetsu said and after a few moments of silence he asked "So why did he?"

"To be fixed." Karin said.

"Fixed?" Both Naruto and Suigetsu asked simultaneously.

"Yeah. The hideout is like a sanctuary for him." Karin said.

"What's his problem?" Suigetsu asked.

"It's… like an addiction. A compulsion. He can't do anything about it on his own." Karin said before – after a short pause – she said "He wants to control his urge to slaughter."

""His urge to slaughter"?" Naruto asked.

"Heh… Oh, lovely. A head-case with the bloodlust. That's just what we needed." Suigetsu said.

"No… you don't get it. He can usually suppress his bizarre urges. But when they overcome him, he's no longer himself. He turns into a horrible, demonic thing. His looks change along with his personality." Karin said.

"Huh. The things some people hide. When I fought him though, he used a different kind of power…" Suigetsu said.

"Orochimaru was fascinated with his power. That's what led him to extract a certain fluid from Jugo's body, and purify the enzyme, which allowed other shinobi to achieve the same state. I'm sure you know where I'm going here. I'm talking about… the curse mark. It originated with Jugo." Karin said.

'The curse mark…' Naruto thought as he remembered the mark on Sasuke's neck.

Grand Line, New World, ocean, the Moby Dick

Falcomon was flying over the ocean alone as he had parted with Biyomon and Hawkmon a while back. As he flew, he spotted a large ship in the distance and from its white whale-like bow, he immediately recognized it as the Moby Dick, the flagship of the Yonko, Whitebeard.

Whitebeard was a large man, at least nearly three times as tall as a normal full-grown human. He had a white crescent-shaped mustache and wore a black bandana on his head. He also had a white jacket which he wore like a cape as well as matching white pants. On his chest, he had many scars which were probably scars he had received in battle.

Whitebeard was sitting on a large chair as he was tended by several nurses due to his old age.

"Hmm…?" He looked to the side as he spotted a small bird heading towards them, and as it got closer, he recognized it as one of Shanks' messenger birds "What does that Red-Hair want now?" The nurses as well as anyone else present looked at him in confusion before the bird landed and dropped the letter it was holding in its beak.

"I bring a letter from "Red-Hair" Shanks." Falcomon said, and several of the crew were surprised by the fact that it could talk, though everyone that was surprised were probably new to the crew.

"A letter, huh?" Whitebeard said as he reached for the letter, but before he could tear it up like he had planned, Falcomon interrupted him.

"Shanks also said that I should tell you not to tear up the letter for once, it's a summon for a summit of the four Yonko." Falcomon said and everyone but Whitebeard gasped.

"Gurarararara. A Yonko Summit, I wonder what Shanks is up to." Whitebeard said.

"The letter also contains the location of where the summit will be held, the tower in the center of the Land of Whirlpools' Coral Forest Maelstrom." Falcomon said.

"The Coral Forest Maelstrom? An ideal place to hold a summit like this. Very well, I'll come, so you can return to your captain now." Whitebeard said and Falcomon gave a salute before flying off as the powerful Yonko looked back at the piece of paper in his hand before tearing it up 'The Coral Forest Maelstrom, huh? You've really thought of everything, haven't you, Red-Hair?'

South Blue, ocean, the Kekkei Fortress

The Kekkei Fortress is the largest ship in the world, easily bigger than a small island, and – as the name suggests – it's also a floating fortress and can single-handedly take on entire fleets of enemy ships. That's not all however, the Kekkei Fortress is also the home as well as the flagship of the Yonko, Youkai the Demon. (Kurama no Kyubi: Note that his ship is called the Kekkei Fortress because he's basically got an army of Kekkei Genkai users.)

Youkai was sitting on a throne in front of hundreds of men that were standing with four of them kneeling down in front of him. There were also ten people standing next to him, five on each side of his throne.

Youkai was a large man with long, flowing ruby-colored red hair, glowing slitted red eyes, and claws. He had a large red jacket which he wore like a cape, and like Whitebeard, he had nothing else on his upper body. He also wore red pants and black boots as well as a gold waist-band. He also appeared to be missing his right hand seeing as though he had a hook there. He also had fox-like ears on the top of his head, as well as nine fox tails coming out of his back. He also had six whisker marks, three on each cheek.

Starting on his left, the ones that were next to him from the one closest to him were a man with long black hair, and black eyes. He had a black jacket which he wore like a cape, and underneath, he had a black sleeveless shirt. He also wore black pants, and on his shirt as well as on the back of his jacket was the image of a Sharingan.

To his left was a woman with short purple hair, and purple eyes. She had a purple jacket which she wore like a cape, and underneath, she wore a purple sleeveless shirt which stopped just under her chest, showing her stomach. She also wore purple pants, and on her shirt as well as on the back of her jacket was the kanji for crystal.

To her left was a man with white hair, and white eyes. He had a white jacket which he wore like a cape, and underneath it, he wore a white sleeveless shirt, and he also wore white pants. On the shirt as well as on the back of the jacket was the kanji for storm.

To his left was a girl who seemed to still be in her late teens with long red hair, slitted red eyes, and claws. She had a red jacket which she wore like a cape, and underneath it, she wore nothing but a red bra, and to finish off her look, she wore a red skirt. She also had a tattoo of the kanji for lava on her stomach, and an image of the same kanji on the back of her jacket. She also had fox-like ears on the top of her head, and nine fox tails coming out of her back as well as six whisker marks, three on each cheek.

Next to her was a girl that couldn't be more than 13 years old. She had pretty much adopted the look of the one next to her except that instead of red, everything about her was cyan. She also had the kanji for ice on the back of her jacket as well as a necklace around her neck with the same kanji.

To Youkai's right was a man with green hair, and green eyes. He had a green jacket which he wore like a cape, underneath, he wore a green sleeveless shirt, and he also had green pants. On his shirt as well as on the back of his jacket, he had the kanji for wood.

To his right was a woman with grey hair, and grey eyes. She had a grey jacket which she wore like a cape, and underneath it, she wore a grey sleeveless shirt. She also had grey pants, and on the back of her jacket as well as on the front of her shirt was the kanji for magnet. She was also carrying two swords at each side of her hip, and another two on her back.

To her right was a man with long silver hair, and silver eyes. He had a silver jacket which he wore like a cape, and underneath it, he wore a silver sleeveless shirt, and he also wore silver pants. He also had both the kanji for steel and the kanji for swift on his shirt and on the back of his jacket.

To his right was a woman with long blond hair, and yellow eyes. She had a yellow jacket which she wore like a cape, and underneath, she wore a yellow sleeveless shirt, and she also wore yellow pants. She had the kanji for explosion on her shirt and on the back of her jacket.

The last one was a boy that couldn't be more than 13 years old. He had spiky red hair, slitted red eyes, and claws. He had a red jacket which he wore like a cape, underneath, he had a red t-shirt, and he also wore red pants. He had the kanjis for scorch, boil, ice, and cloud on his t-shirt and the back of his jacket. The most defining features about him however, were his fox-like ears and nine fox tails. He also had six whisker marks, three on each cheek. (Kurama no Kyubi: You should also note that he looks a lot like Naruto.)

"So tell me, how did it go?" Youkai asked, revealing sharp fangs as he spoke.

"I'm sorry, Youkai-sama, but Samurai General Ryuma the King didn't accept our offer of an alliance." One of the men kneeling before Youkai said as he trembled.

"What? I told you to get him to sign that treaty at all costs. We need his strength if we are to destroy those stupid Marines and the World Government that they serve!" Youkai yelled as the deck suddenly started cracking "You know what will happen to all those that fail me, don't you?"

The four that were kneeling then gulped as they slowly got up on their feet and started backing off, but then wooden spikes suddenly shot out of the deck and impaled the four pirates, killing them.

"Youkai-sama, we don't really need Ryuma, there are still three other Samurai Generals out there, not to mention the Samurai Emperor. Plus there are still three other Great Powers that are not aligned with the World Government; the Yonko, the 5 Great Shinobi Nations, and the Union." The man with green hair said as some of the men carried the four corpses away.

"Maybe, but I wouldn't stoop to the level of asking another Yonko for help, and I have nothing but hate for the shinobi. As for the Union… they hardly ever lifts a finger against the World Government, and never does when they don't have a reason to. And you know how the Samurai Emperor is, if we send someone to him, we'll never see them again." Youkai said.

"Hey, there's something coming this way!" One of the men said as he had spotted something coming towards them.

"Hmm?" Youkai looked towards where the man was pointing to see a small bird heading their way.

"It's a bird, Youkai-sama." The man with black hair said.

"Not just any bird. That one belongs to "Red-Hair"." Youkai said before Hawkmon landed on the deck in front of him and let the letter fall out of his beak.

"This better be worth my time." Youkai said as he picked up the letter before opening it and reading what it said.

"Youkai-sama, what does it say?" The man with green hair asked.

"Hmm… There's going to be a Yonko Summit at the Land of Whirlpools' Coral Forest Maelstrom." Youkai said.

"A Yonko Summit?" The man with black hair said.

"That's right, and it seems like I'm allowed to bring one or two body guards with me." Youkai said.

"Then who will you take?" The man with green hair asked.

"Tsuri, Kessho. You two come with me." Youkai said.

"Right." The man with green hair and the woman with purple hair said in unison.

Grand Line, Jaya, Mock Town, bar

The island of Jaya was a small island in the Grand Line which pirates used as a sort of checkpoint while on their way through the Grand Line due to the fact that that island doesn't fall under the jurisdiction of the World Government.

In a bar in the town known as Mock Town were two pirates playing poker. One of them was a tall man with blond hair, a pink sleeveless shirt, white pants, and a green waist-band.

The other one was a young girl with blond hair in two long pony-tails. She also wore a black pirate hat with the image of a skull with cross-bones in the shape of anchors below said skull. She also wore a black jacket, black pants and black boots.

"Looks like I win." The girl said before reaching for the money that the man had betted. Just before she reached the money however, she pulled her hand back just in time to avoid the dagger that was then imbedded in the table.

"Tell the truth. You cheated, didn't you?" The man said.

"Sorry to have to tell you this, mate, but I never cheat." The girl said.

"You did. You cheated." The man said.

"What's that crazy guy talking about? The game looked fair and square to me." One of the many on-lookers said.

"Hold your tongue. That there's Bellamy the Hyena." Another one said.

"His head's worth more than 50 million berries." Another one said.

"Sarquiss. Sarquiss!" Bellamy said.

"Huh? What is it?" A man over at the counter with blond hair, goggles and wearing a white fur-coat asked as he turned around.

"You saw, didn't you? This rat cheated just now." Bellamy said.

"Cheated? Ha ha… Sure. She was cheating." Sarquiss said.

"I saw it too. The dirty rat." One of the on-lookers said.

Bellamy then fired two bullets at the girl, but she simply moved her head slightly to the right, avoiding both bullets. Bellamy then grabbed a bottle of sake and was about to hit the girl with it, but before he could do that, he found an anchor at his neck.

Bellamy then looked down the anchor to see that there was a man holding it as though it was a sword. The man had had silver hair, wore a black pirate hat, and a black trench-coat.

"Hmm…? And who the heck are you?" Bellamy asked.

"Th-that's… "Anchor" Seifer. He's got a bounty of over 600 million." One of the on-lookers said.

""Anchor" Seifer? Than that girl must be "Gamble" Patty, captain of the Gamble Pirates." Another one said.

""Gamble" Patty? I heard that she brought down Big Mom's whole fleet with just a single ship." Another one said.

"Sarquiss, no!" Another one said as Sarquiss grabbed a large knife before swinging it at Seifer.

However, Seifer simply just blocked it with the anchor before pulling said anchor down so that its head was pulled towards the knife, and to everyone's surprise, the knife was cut in half.

"Nani? You cut through my knife with an anchor?" Sarquiss said, not having expected that something like that was possible, especially considering that anchors aren't even sharp.

"As long as you're a strong enough swordsman, you can cut through anything, no matter what weapon you use." Seifer said.

"It's no use. "Anchor" Seifer's one of the Nanaidainakenshi, number 4 from the top, just behind "Hawk-Eye" Mihawk!" One of the on-lookers said.

"Who did you say was cheating, mate?" Patty asked as she looked Bellamy straight in the eyes.

"N-no one…" Bellamy said as he trembled in fear.

"Thought so." Patty said before grabbing the money she had won, put it in her pocket and walked out the door, followed by Seifer.

"Patty-taichou, you are now one of the Yonko, you should act like one." Seifer said.

"Ahhh… You're no fun." Patty said with a pout.

"Hey, captain!" Patty and Seifer then looked towards where the voice came from to see a man running towards them, holding a letter in his hand.

"What is it?" Patty asked as the man – which was obviously one of her crew – reached them.

"Some pink bird came and gave us this letter." The man said as he handed the letter to Patty.

"A bird?" Patty asked as she took the letter before opening it, and reading it.

"A summit of the four Yonko, huh? This should be interesting." She said after finishing reading the letter.

"A Yonko Summit? Is such a thing even possible?" Seifer asked.

"I dunno. But it'll be interesting to see just how many will show up. Besides, I haven't been to the North Blue for a long time, it'll be good to be back in my home-sea." Patty said.

North Blue, Elemental Countries, Land of Earth, Northern Hideout

"Hey… How about we take a break?" Suigetsu asked as he sat down on the ground.

"Suigetsu! We can't keep stopping all the time! Come on, we're almost there! Is it that sword? Is it too heavy for you? Why don't you just leave it behind?" Karin yelled.

"Hey, are you all right?" Karin and Suigetsu then looked towards Naruto to see him kneeling over a man who was barely conscious.

"He's from the Northern Hideout." Karin said as she and Suigetsu came over.

"What happened?" Naruto asked.

"Wh-who are you?" The man asked.

"That doesn't matter right now. Tell me what happened." Naruto said.

"It started with… a rumor that… Kimimaro was dead. He and Jugo were close friends… so when Jugo… heard the rumor… he went berserk… The way it's going… Agh…" The man said before dying.

"Whoops… Guess he's dead…" Suigetsu said.

"Kimimaro?" Naruto asked as he looked at Karin in confusion.

"Kimimaro was the only friend Jugo's ever had, plus he's the only one that could stop Jugo on one of his rampages without hurting him." Karin said before adding "You've met him before."

"Hmm…? I have?" Naruto asked and Karin nodded.

"I've read the report about the failed "Sasuke retrieval" mission. Kimimaro was the last one your team faced before reaching Sasuke." Karin said.

'That guy…' Naruto thought as he remembered the bone-using Oto-nin he fought a couple of months back, or tried to fight to be a little more precise.

"So… you sure you still want to include Jugo?" Karin asked as she looked at Naruto.

"If he's really the source of the curse marks, then including him should not only strengthen our ranks, but weakening Orochimaru's too, right?" Naruto asked as he stood up on his feet and looked up towards the hideout.

Soon after they had reached the hideout and walked through the corridors. As they walked past the cells, they noticed that all of the guards had locked themselves up.

"What's going on here? Why are all the guards locked up with the prisoners?" Naruto asked.

"Remember what that guy outside said? Jugo's on the loose, and he's on a rampage." Karin said.

"So I guess all the guards locked themselves up so that Jugo wouldn't reach them, huh?" Suigetsu said before they reached a fork where the way split into three directions.

"Hey, Karin." Naruto said as he looked at his fellow Uzumaki.

"What is it?" Karin asked.

"Zoe told me that you're a powerful sensory type, so could you tell me where Jugo is?" Naruto asked.

"Right." Karin said before weaving a hand sign and she closed her eyes in concentration as she scanned the area.

"Well?" Suigetsu asked, and after several seconds of waiting he asked "Come on, which way is it?"

"That way." Karin said as she looked to the right.

Suigetsu then sighed as he walked that way, but as Naruto was about to follow him, Karin grabbed his arm and took the way that was straight ahead instead.

"Hey, where are we going?" Naruto asked.

"It's actually this way. Now come on, Naruto." Karin said.

"Why did you lie? We should go back and get Suigetsu…" Naruto said.

"I hate Suigetsu. Always running his mouth… Come on." Karin said.

"Let go… I can walk on my own." Naruto said.

"You know… It's quite impressive that you're trying to rebuild Uzushio. Cause the way I heard it, it was destroyed in a joint operation of Kiri, Iwa, Kumo, and Suna." Suigetsu said as he continued walking, but when he didn't get any reply, he said "… Naruto…?" He then turned around to see that Naruto and Karin were nowhere in sight "That wench…"

Naruto and Karin

"What the…? What happened here?" Naruto asked as he and Karin were in a corridor that was littered with corpses.

"Jugo's been through here." Karin said.

"Gee… How can you tell?" A new voice said.

"Ah! Dorumon, how did you get out?" Naruto asked as the small furry dragon had appeared next to him.

"Hmm… Well that explains all the other chakra signatures I sensed on you." Karin said.

"Huh? You could sense Dorumon and the others?" Naruto asked.

"Well of course I could." Karin said.

"No! Don… Agh…" They heard someone scream.

"It came from over there!" Naruto said as the three of them looked down the corridor.

Suddenly they heard footsteps coming towards them as their hearts started beating faster and they started sweating. As the footsteps got closer, they saw that there was someone walking towards them; it was a tall man with wild orange hair and orange eyes, his left arm was covered in grey skin and he had a large metal ball chained to his right leg.

Suigetsu

"… Huh? I'm back where we started… Guess I should have turned right at that fork…" Suigetsu said as he was back with the prison cells.

"Why have you come here?" One of the prisoners asked.

"We're here for Jugo. We want him to join us…" Suigetsu said.

"Heh heh heh… You have no idea what you're in for. If you let someone like him loose in this world…" The prisoner said.

"Oh, believe me. I know. But I'll make him see reason… by force, if necessary…" Suigetsu said.

"Heh heh heh… However strong you may be… you're no match for him…" The prisoner said.

"You know, it's too bad that these bars are in the way, or else you'd be dead by now." Suigetsu said.

"Heh heh… dead! You're all dead!" The prisoner yelled.

Naruto, Karin and Dorumon

Jugo charged at Naruto before sending the blond flying backwards with a punch.

"Naruto!" Karin and Dorumon yelled.

"You're next!" Jugo yelled as he was about to hit Karin, but just then Leomon appeared in a flash of light and blocked Jugo's punch with his sword.

"You're not too bad." Leomon said, but then he noticed that Jugo smirked.

Suddenly a bulge came out of Jugo's arm as a long object came out of it before thrusting back in, and both Leomon and Karin were sent flying backwards. Leomon quickly turned around before grabbing Karin and he turned around again before impacting with the wall.

"You all right?" He asked as the female Uzumaki got up on her feet.

"Y-yeah…" Karin said.

Jugo then attempted to punch Dorumon, but the small dragon managed to easily dodge the punch before jumping over to Naruto who had gotten back on his feet. Jugo then moved in to punch Naruto, but Suigetsu then appeared and deflected the punch with the Kubikiribocho.

"Nani?" Jugo asked.

"Nice technique, Jugo. Different… but solid." Suigetsu said before continuing "Leave him to me, Naruto. And Karin, I'll get to you later…"

"Great…" Karin said.

"Stop it, Suigetsu. We didn't come here to fight. Let me talk to him." Naruto said.

"He's not the type that listens to words. The only language he understands is force…" Suigetsu said.

"That's right. You're Suigetsu. I remember you now." Jugo said.

Jugo and Suigetsu then charged at each other as an axe-blade formed out of Jugo's arm. They then swung their respective blades at each other, though in the end they only deflected each other's attacks. Suigetsu then swung his sword diagonally downwards, but Jugo just ducked under it.

"Hey, stop it already!" Naruto said.

'No… Let them kill each other…' Karin thought.

As Suigetsu and Jugo were swinging at each other again however, Leomon suddenly appeared in-between them faster than anyone could see and blocked Jugo's axe-blade with his sword and Suigetsu's sword with his hand.

"Didn't you hear Naruto-san? Seize this fighting immediately?" Leomon said.

'Incredible… I didn't even see him move. He's even faster than Bushier-Brows-Sensei.' Naruto thought.

Jugo's skin then turned back to normal as the marks also vanished. He then looked around frantically before running off.

"Uh. Hey, Jugo!" Naruto yelled before following as he said "Come on, follow him."

Soon after, they reached Jugo's cell and the man in question ran in before closing the door behind him.

"H-hurry up and lock the door!" Jugo said.

"No, Jugo. We came here to take you out of here. Come with us." Naruto said.

"That lion guy really freaked him out." Suigetsu said.

"No… That's not it." Karin said.

"I don't wanna kill any more people! I don't wanna go outside… please just leave me alone!" Jugo said.

"What…? Wow. Schizophrenia…" Suigetsu said.

"I told you… Jugo gets irrepressible violent urges… and loses control of himself. But the truth is, he'd actually rather not kill." Karin said.

Land of Iron, Gokage Summit Venue

Tsunade walked through the venue where the Gokage Summit would be held, behind her were her two escorts, Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoichi.

"Halt. Please state your name and the names of your aides." A bald samurai with a scar going over his left eye.

"I'm the Godaime Hokage, Senju Tsunade. And my aides are Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoichi." Tsunade said.

"Welcome, Hokage-sama. The other three Kage have already arrived." The samurai said.

"All three of them?" Tsunade asked, not having expected the Mizukage to have time for the summit with the civil war that's currently going on in Kiri.

"Yes. The only one missing would be the Kazekage." The samurai said.

"That's understandable, Suna hasn't named a Godaime yet." Shikaku said.

"Well, if you would follow me. I'll take you to the Summit Hall." The samurai said before bringing the three Konoha-nins to the Summit Hall.

Grand Line, Marineford, Marine Headquarters

Near the end of the first half of the greatest ocean in the world – the Grand Line – is there an island called Marineford. This island is used by the Marines as their headquarters, and is also where most of the Marine higher-ups live.

Within the Marine Headquarters which towered over the rest of the island was the Marine Fleet-Admiral, Sengoku currently sitting at his desk, and on a couch in the same room was Vice-Admiral Monkey D. Garp sitting.

"You know, Sengoku. I still think it was a mistake to let Vegapunk study my D-Ark." Garp said.

"Perhaps. But you are the only Digi-Destined in the Marines. And most Marines wouldn't stand a chance against a Digimon of the Champion-Level or higher. That's why we needed Vegapunk to study your D-Ark so that he could make duplicates of it. After all, we don't want that incident that happened nearly 20 years ago to happen all over again." Sengoku said.

"True. But even with everyone from Captain-Rank and above having Digivices and those artificial Digimon, we can't stop another Digimon invasion." Garp said before adding "Besides, that invasion only happened due to that extremely talkative, Taijutsu-loving Perfect-Level having been released into the world." Garp said.

"You got a point there. We suffered a lot of losses, trying to bring him down." Sengoku said.

"And we're not the only ones. All of the 7 Great Powers of the World suffered a lot of losses." Garp said before a Marine Captain came in.

"Sengoku-sama!" The Marine said as he saluted his superiors.

"Hmm? What is it?" Sengoku asked.

"Sir, we've just received word that the Yonko are all planning on meeting." The Marine said.

"All four of them?" Garp asked in surprise.

"Hai. They're all moving towards the Land of Whirlpools' Coral Forest Maelstrom as we speak." The Marine said.

"The Coral Forest Maelstrom?" Garp asked.

"Then we won't be able to interrupt the summit, we'll have to stop them before they get a chance to meet up." Sengoku said.

"There's just one problem. "Red-Hair" Shanks is already at the summit, and Whitebeard is too close for us to intercept." The Marine said.

"What about Youkai and Patty?" Garp asked.

"We don't know where Youkai is, and Patty entered into the North Blue just a few moments ago." The Marine said.

"Then go, intercept the Gamble Pirates, at least we can stop one of them." Sengoku said.

"Yessir!" The Marine said before turning to Garp "Oh, and Garp-sama. Jiraiya of the Sannin is here to see you."

'Jiraiya?' Garp thought.

Land of Whirlpools, Coral Forest Maelstrom

Just to the south of the southern coast of the Land of Whirlpools was a large maelstrom several times the size of any of the other whirlpools surrounding the island, or any other whirlpool in the world for that matter. Starting near the edge of the maelstrom was a forest of enormous coral reefs that – for anyone standing just beneath them – would look like they were reaching up into the sky. Many of the coral reefs also seemed to be greatly damaged which appeared to be the result of a battle.

Suddenly, the Moby Dick burst up from below the waves before sailing towards the maelstrom.

"Anchor the ship here." Whitebeard said before the anchor was dropped and they took a smaller boat which only fit three Whitebeard-sized people and headed towards the maelstrom. The ones that were in the boat were Whitebeard and the one he chose as an escort, Third Division Commander, Jozu.

Soon after the Kekkei Fortress appeared out of nowhere right next to the Moby Dick, causing several of the Whitebeard Pirates to jump in surprise.

"So Whitebeard is already here, is he?" Youkai said as he looked down at the Moby Dick from the deck of his own ship.

"Th-that's Youkai, the captain of the Youkai Pirates!" One of Whitebeards men said.

"So tell me, where is that old buffoon, anyway?" Youkai asked.

"He's already gone for the summit." Fourth Division Commander, Thatch said.

"So he's in there then." Youkai said as he looked towards the maelstrom.

He then – to the Whitebeard Pirates' surprise – jumped down, followed by two of his men, and they landed on the water before running towards the maelstrom.

"What's he doing? Isn't he going to take a ship?" Twelth Division Commander Haruta asked.

"He doesn't need to." The Whitebeard Pirates then looked up to see the man with black hair standing there, looking down on them.

"You're… "Sharingan" Kuroyomi." Thatch said.

"Oh. So you know me, huh?" Kuroyomi said.

"Well, of course. You're one of Youkai's Ten Pirate Warlords." Thatch said. (Kurama no Kyubi: Not to be confused with the Seven Warlords of the Sea.)

"Kuroyomi, earlier you said that Youkai didn't need to take a ship, what did you mean?" Fifth Division Commander Vista asked.

"He doesn't need a ship because he simply doesn't need it. You see, Kaizou-sama knows how to mold chakra, an art few outside of the Elemental Countries can do." Kuroyomi said.

"I see. So he's using the walk-on-water technique to run across the water, and he's going to jump from reef to reef once he reaches the forest." Thatch said.

"Exactly." Kuroyomi said.

Elsewhere on the deck of Youkai's ship were the red haired boy, the blue haired girl, and the red haired girl talking.

"Hey, nee-chan." The boy said, catching his fellow red-head's attention.

"What is it, Ototou?" The girl asked.

"It's obvious how tou-sama's gonna reach the summit, but what about the other Yonko?" The boy asked.

"Well, there's one particular point at the edge of the maelstrom where there's a stream that goes straight to the tower in the middle of the forest without crashing into any of the coral reefs on the way." The red haired girl said.

"Really? It's that easy to get in?" The blue haired girl asked.

"Not quite. At several points of the stream, there are other streams passing right through it, and at those points – if you're not ready – you'll get forced out of the stream and sent straight into one of the coral reefs. Not to mention that there are several animals – mostly large birds and large fishes – there that eats humans. There are even some Neptunians that live under the rushing waves." The red haired girl said before adding "That place is a total death-trap."

Land of Earth, Northern Hideout

"I don't know when the urge to kill will strike again. So, please. Just hurry up and lock the door." Jugo said from inside his cell.

"I don't think Jugo's going to work out, Naruto… We'll constantly have to watch our backs around him." Suigetsu said.

"Who are you people anyway? Why won't you leave me alone?" Jugo asked.

"Jugo, I'll be your cage. If your urges start acting up, I'll stop you." Naruto said.

"What can you do? The only one who can stop my urges is Kimimaro. If Kimimaro's not here, I can't go outside." Jugo said.

"Kimimaro? You mean of the Kaguya clan…?" Suigetsu asked.

"Yeah… Jugo and Kimimaro were Orochimaru's favorite lab rats. Remember what I said before? "Kimimaro was the only friend Jugo's ever had". They were both imprisoned here for live experimentation… so Kimimaro was probably the one person Jugo trusted within this organization. And Kimimaro was strong too… and like I said before, he was the only one who could stop Jugo's rampages without hurting him." Karin said.

"But I thought that guy was…" Suigetsu said.

"Jugo, my name is Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto. I once faced Kimimaro in battle, and I can definitely say that he's so far the strongest opponent I've ever faced… with the exception of Orochimaru. And I might be partially responsible for his death, but the real person you should blame for that is Orochimaru." Naruto said.

"Orochimaru?" Jugo asked.

"Hai. Orochimaru only thought of Kimimaro as a test subject, a tool, an expendable one at that. His thoughts of you are likely to be the same, but you could come with us to Uzushio where you will be considered a person, not a tool. Sure, I might not be nearly as strong as Kimimaro, but I'll still do my best at suppressing your urges. Also, I'm of the Uzumaki clan, a clan which excels in Fuinjutsu, and while I'm still pretty new at the art, one day I promise you that I'll be so good that I can seal away your urges for good." Naruto said and Jugo suddenly opened the door slowly.

"You'd do that for me?" He asked.

"It's a promise. Dattebayo!" Naruto said as he showed his foxy grin before saying "And I never go back on my word 'cause that is my nindo."

Ocean

Patty's ship – the Gamble Patty – sailed across the waters of the North Blue, one of the four oceans of the world, not counting the Grand Line. At the bow of the ship was Patty standing, staring off at the horizon, seemingly lost in thought.

'The North Blue… I never thought I'd see this ocean again.' She thought to herself before Seifer walked up to her.

"Thinking of your old home?" He asked, making sure to keep his voice down so that the other crew members couldn't hear him.

"Yeah…" Patty said, not realizing that Seifer stood just next to her before it was too late "What? Seifer? I don't know what you're talking about."

"It's all right to think of your old home if you want to. How long has it been now? Four years?" Seifer said as he leaned forward on the railing.

"Four and a half…" Patty said quietly with a sad look on her face.

"Captain, Seifer-san! There's a fleet of Marine Warships coming in from our starboard side!" One of the men said.

"Nani?" Both Patty and Seifer said in unison as they turned around before looking towards starboard to see a fleet of five Marine Warships.

"Just five ships? Aren't they underestimating us a little?" Patty asked.

"It seems that way." Seifer said before looking at his young captain "What should we do?"

"We're going to destroy them, mate." Patty said before yelling "Fire the cannons!"

Patty's men then started firing off the cannons at the Marine Warships, and the marines fired back.

Land of Iron, Gokage Summit

Four of the five Kage were present as well as Samurai General Mifune. Each of the Kage had of course brought with them two aides just like Tsunade.

"So, what was it that was so important that you had to drag us all the way out here?" Onoki asked as he looked at Tsunade.

"We recently received some information that could prove devastating for all five nations." Tsunade said.

"And what kind of information would that be?" Ay asked before Tsunade let out a sigh.

"Tell me, have any of you with exception of Onoki ever heard of creatures called "Digimon"?" Tsunade asked.

"I've had some dealings with Digimon on several occasions… not to mention that my predecessor was a Digi-Destined." Yagura said.

"My father, the Sandaime Raikage was also a Digi-Destined, so I practically grew up with them, but what does this have to do with the information you were talking about?" Ay asked.

"Excuse me, but what are "Digimon"?" Mifune asked.

"They're creatures that can come in any shape or size. They're a lot like normal animals, except that they have a high intellect which is on par with – or can sometimes even surpass – that of a human's." Onoki said.

"Many of them also have a human shape." Tsunade added.

"They can also be quite ferocious, especially in battle. And sometimes even Kage-Level shinobi would struggle against them. There can also be the rare occasion when even a small group of Kage-Level shinobi wouldn't stand a chance against them." Ay said, thinking back to the battle against Gelelmon.

"I see. So these "Digimon" could prove to be quite a threat." Mifune said.

"I'm quite surprised you wouldn't know about them, Mifune-dono. After all, during the last Great Ninja War, there was practically an invasion from the Digital World which was caused by one of the most powerful Digimon in existence. During this invasion, a lot of Digi-Destined died." Yagura said.

"I wouldn't expect you to have that much knowledge of Digimon, seeing as you're not a Digi-Destined yourself." Tsunade said.

"During the last Great Ninja War, I fought with the Sandaime Uzukage many times. Enough to find out a thing or two about Digimon considering that he was a Digi-Destined himself." Yagura said.

"We're getting off topic here. Tsunade, what was this information you had for us?" Mifune asked.

"Well, it's more like a warning…" Tsunade said, but before she could continue, Onoki cut her off.

"A warning? Does it have anything to do with the information I received before coming here?" Onoki asked.

"Huh? And what information is that?" Ay asked.

"Just before I came to this summit, my son, Kitsuchi returned from a patrol mission. At the end of his report, he said that Digimon activity had been increasing, going from monthly appearances in our world to weekly. At first I thought that it might somehow be connected to Gelelmon's appearance a week ago, but that didn't add up, since the way I heard it, Gelelmon had been successfully transported to the Dark Area." Onoki said.

"Well, I wouldn't know if this is connected, but a few days ago, "Red-Hair" Shanks of the Yonko fought Demon Lord Lillithmon, and the last thing Lillithmon said before leaving was that Lucemon would soon make his return." Tsunade said causing Onoki's eyes to widen.

"Lucemon, you say? Then this really is bad." Onoki said.

"You know him?" Tsunade said.

"I met him once… and it's an experience I'd rather not repeat." Onoki said.

"Who's Lucemon?" Yagura asked.

"One of the worst Digimon you'd ever want to meet… No, scratch that, you'd rather not want to meet him." Onoki said.

"Is he really that bad?" Ay asked.

"Hai. When I met him, he was only in his Rookie form the entire time… and he nearly killed my partner who was at the Mega-Level." Onoki said and almost everyone's eyes widened "Plus, he was the partner Digimon of Uchiha Madara."

"The partner of Madara?" Ay all but yelled.

"Yes. The two of them made an unbeatable combination." Onoki said.

"At least we'll only have to deal with one of them when the time comes." Yagura said.

"Maybe, but it'll still be a hard battle on us… Lucemon was even able to go one-on-one with my grandfather, the Shodai Hokage." Tsunade said.

Grand Line, Marineford, Garp's office

Garp was sitting behind his desk as Jiraiya sat in front of him. The Sannin had come to talk about urgent news, and Garp could still hardly believe what he'd been told.

"Lucemon, huh?" He said in thought.

"Yeah. I'm sure you've heard of him." Jiraiya said.

"I have. But I thought he was long dead." Garp said.

"Well, you're not the only one." Jiraiya said before Garp let out a chuckle "What's so funny?"

"Oh, nothing. I just came out of a conversation with Sengoku about how unlikely it would be for a new invasion from the Digital World to happen unless another Perfect would appear, and now you tell me that Lucemon – who could easily send an army of Digimon the likes of which we've never seen at us – is returning." Garp said.

"Speaking of Sengoku, you should go talk to him about this." Jiraiya said.

"Yeah. If Lucemon is going to return, we'll need to be ready." Garp said.

North Blue, Elemental Countries, Land of Whirlpools, Coral Forest Maelstrom, Coral Tower, Yonko Summit

At the center of the Coral Forest Maelstrom is a tall tower made out of corals. At the top of said tower is a round room with a round table in the middle, this is the room that the Yonko are using for their summit. However, the room doesn't have any ceiling, and the walls only go up to about eight meters from the floor.

Shanks, Whitebeard, and Youkai were already present, and they were now only waiting for Patty to show up so they could start the summit. Of course one Yonko in particular was getting very impatient.

"Where is that girl, anyway?" Youkai asked impatiently before looking at Shanks and said "Can't we just start the summit already?"

"It's a Yonko Summit, we can't start until all four of us are here." Whitebeard said.

"Shut up, you old buffoon. You're only lucky that I don't kill you here and now." Youkai said.

"A child like you, kill me? Gurarararara." Whitebeard laughed.

"Who are you calling a child?" Youkai yelled as he rose to his feet while glaring at Whitebeard.

"Youkai, calm down. We're not here to fight." Shanks said.

"Hmph! I'm completely calm." Youkai said as he sat down, though he was still glaring at Whitebeard.

"If that's you when you're calm, I don't want to see you when you get mad." Everyone looked towards the door to see Patty entering, followed by Seifer.

"Sorry we're late, but we had a run-in with the Marines on our way here." Seifer said as Patty sat down on a chair.

"Hmph. I can't believe a child like you ever got to be a Yonko." Youkai said.

"And I can't believe that a human and a fox mated and got you." Patty retorted.

"Why you little…!" Youkai then stood up on his feet and was about to attack Patty.

"Youkai!" Shanks said, releasing a good amount of the Conqueror's Haki "We're not here to fight."

"Fine, but I'll kill her after this summit's over." Youkai said.

"Let's see if you can, mate." Patty said.

""Red-Hair", now that we're all here, what was it that you were going to tell us?" Whitebeard asked.

"Before we begin this meeting, there's something I would need to ask." Shanks said.

"Like what?" Youkai asked.

"Do any of you know about Digimon?" Shanks asked.

"Yes. In fact, two of my Division Commanders – Marco and Ace – were Digi-Destined." Whitebeard said.

"What are Digimon?" Patty asked and Shanks let out a sigh before pulling out his X-Loader.

"Reload, Agumon." He said and Agumon suddenly appeared on the table "This is a Digimon."

Kekkei Fortress

"Hey, Kuroyomi-taichou, there are ships headed towards us." A man called from one of the ship's crow nests.

"What?" Kuroyomi asked before jumping up on the ship's wall to see a large fleet of Marine Warships "Kuso." He then looked over his shoulder and yelled "There's a fleet of Marine Warships approaching! Everyone, get to battle positions, we need to keep them at bay until Youkai-sama returns!"

"Hai!" Came the chorus from all of the Youkai Pirates.

"Hey. You guys better get ready if you don't want to die." The red haired girl said as she looked down towards the Moby Dick.

"You don't have to tell us twice." Thatch said before turning to his fellow crewmembers "Everyone, get into position, and bring the ship around the Kekkei Fortress!"

The Moby Dick and the Gamble Patty then moved up in front of the Kekkei Fortress, ready to face the marines.

On the lead marine ship was a Vice-Admiral, looking towards the three pirate ships through a telescope. He had long red hair, pale skin, and the normal attire for a Vice-Admiral. There were also a very distinctive scar going from the left side of his forehead and down to his right cheek.

"The Moby Dick, the Gamble Patty, and even the Kekkei Fortress is here." The Vice-Admiral said as he looked at each ship respectively before moving the telescope away from his eye as he said "Seems it's true after all, the four Yonko are holding a summit."

"Vice-Admiral, there's still no sign of the Red-Hair Pirates or their ship." One of the men said.

""Red-Hair" has a skilled crew. I wouldn't be surprised if they were able to reach the Coral Tower without any damage to their ship." The Vice-Admiral said.

"Vice-Admiral, their firing at us." One of the men said.

"Alright, people. You all know what to do!" The Vice-Admiral said as he turned around.

"Vice-Admiral! Behind you!" One of the men yelled and the Vice-Admiral turned around just in time to see a cannon ball the size of a small ship head towards him.

'That thing's from the Kekkei Fortress…' He noted, seemingly not worried that it was heading straight for him and could easily destroy his whole ship. The Vice-Admiral then suddenly weaved a series of hand signs before extending his right arm as he said "Uzumaki-Style Fuinjutsu: Gyakuten Fuin!"

As the cannon ball approached him, sealing formulas suddenly came out of his palm and went around the large metal ball before said ball suddenly flew in the opposite direction from before and went straight back towards the Kekkei Fortress.

However, back at the Kekkei Fortress, the woman with blond hair smirked as she made a hand sign, and the cannon ball started glowing brightly. The Vice-Admiral's eyes then widened before weaving a series of hand signs.

"Uzumaki-Style Fuinjutsu: Shoheki Fuin!" He called out.

Boom!

Many of the pirates cheered, believing they had taken down the enemy commander as well as his entire ship, but as the smoke cleared however, their expressions shifted into masks of shock. The Marine Warship was still there, surrounded by what looked like chains of sealing formulas which were surrounding the ship in a bubble-like shield.

"It's just as I thought... Their leader is none other than Vice-Admiral Fuin no Uzuryu." Kuroyomi said.

"Fuin no Uzuryu?" The blond woman asked "You mean the only Uzumaki who survived the attack on Uzushio?" At this Kuroyomi nodded, making several of the men gulp.

"They say that Uzuryu is the strongest Sealing Master since the Sandaime Uzukage who was said to have been capable of using Fuinjutsu without the need of hand signs." Kuroyomi said.

Coral Forest Maelstrom, Coral Tower, Yonko Summit

"Lucemon, you say? Then this is bad." Whitebeard said.

"You know him?" Patty asked.

"I saw him a long time ago… so long ago that it's the only thing I remember clearly from back then." Whitebeard said.

"When you were still a toddler, eh?" Youkai asked.

"What happened?" Shanks asked.

Flashback

A young boy who couldn't be more than ten years walked through the forest. He had short blond hair, a white t-shirt with a pirate skull along with crossbones on it, and he wore grey shorts. This boy was Edward Newgate, the person who'd one day be known as Whitebeard.

As he walked through the dense woods, he suddenly heard some weird sounds coming from a nearby clearing and he walked towards said clearing, hiding behind a tree. As he looked out from behind the tree, he spotted two individuals.

One of them was a tall man with long, wild black hair, and he wore red armor, on his back was a white and red fan. What was the weirdest part about the man however, was his eyes, they were red with a black circle within them, there were also three parts of the circle which expanded slightly, almost becoming rings themselves, in-between each of the expanded parts were there a black line which went to the edges of the pupils.

The other one appeared to be a young boy with wild blond hair, blue eyes, weird white clothes and – the weirdest thing of all – eight white wings.

"Once again, Lucemon." The man said, and the boy, now identified as Lucemon nodded before extending his arms to his sides, almost making it look like he was hanging on a cross.

"Grand Cross!" Suddenly appeared ten super-heated spheres of light before said spheres shot towards the man, but just before they could hit him though, what looked like a blue skeleton formed around the man before the spheres hit said skeleton and blew it apart, sending the man skidding along the ground in the process.

"Sugoi." Edward said before realizing it, and the man and Lucemon immediately looked in his direction.

"Come out, I know you're there." The man said.

Edward then gulped before walking out from behind the tree and into the clearing. At seeing that it was just a kid, the man seemingly relaxed before the three lines going from the circles in his eyes and to the edges of his pupils suddenly vanished.

"It's just a kid." Lucemon stated.

"Tell me, what's your name, kid?" The man asked.

"Umm… Edward Newgate." Edward said.

"Well then, Edward, do you have any dreams?" The man asked.

"Mm-hmm! I'm gonna be a pirate and conquer the Grand Line, then I'll be king of the world!" Edward said and the man smiled. (Kurama no Kyubi: Before you say anything about this, remember, he's still just a kid, give him some time to grow up.)

"The king of the world you say? Well then, young king, I've got something here that could help you with that." The man said as he brought his hand into a pouch he had and pulled out a weird-looking fruit.

"What's that?" Edward asked.

"Come here and see for yourself." The man said, and Edward walked closer to him before he put the fruit in the young blond's hands.

"So, what is it?" Edward asked.

"It's a Devil Fruit." The man said.

"Devil Fruit?" Edward asked and the man nodded.

"They contain strange powers that are given to the ones who eat them. Though whoever eats one will be unable to swim for the rest of his life. A small price to pay." The man said.

"Strange powers that are given to the ones who eat them?" Edward said before taking a bite and immediately spitting it back out again "Thing tastes awful."

"Yeah. I heard a while back that Devil Fruits have an awful taste, but only a small bite is enough in order to gain the fruit's powers." The man said and Edward then took anther bite.

Flashback end

"Hmm… Long, wild black hair, and red armor… That sounds like…" Youkai said.

"Uchiha Madara." Shanks finished for him.

"Yes. I didn't realize that till much later however." Whitebeard said.

"And now we know how you got your Devil Fruit powers." Patty said.

"Well, I still don't see how Lucemon could really be so powerful that you'd have to tell the three of us about him." Youkai said as he looked at Shanks.

"Lucemon is powerful, I can tell you that much." Whitebeard said before adding "In fact, he's so strong that he could probably even defeat me in battle." At this Youkai's and Patty's eyes widened.

"Defeat you? Is that even possible?" Patty asked.

"Well, if that's the case, he might be the perfect target for me to test my skills on." Youkai said.

"Lucemon is not someone you'd test your skills on, that'd just be suicide." Shanks said before adding "Besides, he can only be defeated by a group of Digi-Destined, a full group at that."

"But there aren't any full groups out there." Whitebeard said.

"While that certainly is true, there is one in the making." Shanks said.

"One in the making?" Youkai asked and Shanks nodded.

Shanks then pressed a button on the underside of the table and suddenly was a screen behind him turned on to show a picture of Naruto as well as the boy's statistics, and just under his image were seven slots, containing pictures of his Digimon. At the bottom-left side of the screen were another six slots though four of them were empty, and one of them contained an image of Kurotsuchi while the last one contained an image of Shikamaru. To the left of Naruto's image was information about him as well as all of his accomplishments including the number of missions he's taken.

'Hmm… That guy looks like that brat, Minato.' Whitebeard thought.

'Akagami? No, the whiskers are slightly thinner.' Youkai thought. (Kurama no Kyubi: Seriously, THAT'S how he can tell the difference?)

'Whoa. That guy's pretty cute.' Patty thought.

"This here is my nephew, Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto. He's the leader of the newest generation of Digi-Destined." Shanks said.

"They must be quite new if there are only three of them so far." Youkai said.

"Yes, you're right. But they've also shown that they possess unusual strength for being mere Genin." Shanks said.

"They're just Genin and you expect them to save the world?" Youkai asked.

"Their obviously not ready yet, nor do they have any idea of the approaching threat. But this is another reason for why I summoned you all here, the three of them – especially Naruto – need someone strong to get them ready for what is to come." Shanks said.

"No thanks." Youkai said as he turned away and was ready to leave "I have no plans of teaching a bunch of ninja."

"Not even your younger cousin, Uzumaki Akakitsu?" Shanks asked.

"Don't call me by that name!" Youkai yelled as he rose to his feet and slammed his hook down on the table, cracking it slightly.

"Calm down, will you? Geez." Patty said before her inner self said "His real name is Akakitsu? That's hilarious!" (Kurama no Kyubi: Yes, I decided to give Patty an inner self just like Sakura.)

""Red-Hair", I could take them on board my ship to train them for a while, but first, they'll need to find the rest of their generation." Whitebeard said.

"Hey, "Red-Hair". I was wondering." Patty said.

"What?" Shanks asked as he looked at her.

"Where does Naruto-kun live?" Patty asked.

"He lives in Uzushiogakure, attempting to rebuild said village." Shanks said.

'So close, huh? Good, then I know where to go after the summit.' Patty thought.

"Well, if that was all you wanted to talk about, I'll make my leave." Youkai said before leaving.

Kekkei Fortress

The battle was still going on as Marines had gotten aboard the Kekkei Fortress and were currently fighting a losing battle against the Youkai Pirates.

The silver haired man weaved a series of hand signs before he suddenly turned invisible and he proceeded to cut the throats of several marines.

The blond woman slammed her hand into one of the marines, causing him to blow up from the inside-out.

The white haired man weaved a series of hand signs before a dome of glowing white balls appeared in the air around a group of marines before shooting towards said marines, killing all of them.

The grey haired woman weaved a series of hand signs before one of the marines suddenly flew towards her as though there was something pulling him, and as he got closer, the woman stabbed him with one of her swords.

The girl with red hair weaved a series of hand signs before spitting several molten rocks at one of the Marine Warships, sinking it.

The girl with cyan hair weaved a series of hand signs and two large spikes of ice suddenly erupted from the ocean, destroying two of the Marine Warships.

"Heh. Is this really all the marines have to offer?" The red haired boy, Akagami said.

"Don't get over-confident, Akagami-kun, or else you could end up dead." Kuroyomi said before activating his Sharingan in just his left eye and several marines screamed as they all fell unconscious.

"Yeah, yeah. Don't worry, that's not gonna happen." Akagami said before running towards the edge of the ship's deck, or – to be more precise – wall. (Kurama no Kyubi: Remember when I said that it was like a fortress? Well – except for the bottom of the ship – it's kinda designed like a fortress too.)

Akagami then leaped off the wall before planting his feet on one of the huge icicles that the blue haired girl had created, and he jumped off of it as he weaved a series of hand signs before a ball of orange flames appeared next to his head. Akagami then flipped in mid-air and kicked the ball so hard that it went flying straight into the deck of one of the Marine Warships with such speed that the warship collapsed, and anyone that had been hit by the ball had been mummified.

Akagami smirked as he saw the ship go under, and he prepared to land on the second icicle so that he could jump back to the ship. But before he could reach the icicle however, it was suddenly blasted to pieces by cannon fire from… the Kekkei Fortress?

"What the…?" Kuroyomi said as he saw where the cannon fire came from.

"Ah! OTOTOU!" The red haired girl yelled as she ran towards the railings.

"Akagami-kun!" The cyan haired girl yelled as she too ran towards the railings.

On the lead marine ship were the marines just as confused about what had just happened, had one of Youkai's crew really just attempted to kill his captain's only son?

"Vice-Admiral, what do you think?" One of the men asked.

"Hmm…" Uzuryu wondered what had just happened as well.

"Aaaaaaahhhh… Help, I can't swim!" Akagami yelled as he approached the water, but just then, a Neptunian came out of said water with its maw open.

"Ototou! Grab on!" The red haired girl said as she extended her arm, and just then, a chain made of chakra burst from her palm and headed straight for Akagami, but before it could reach the boy, he was swallowed whole by the giant monsters.

"OTOTOU/AKAGAMI-KUN!" The red haired girl and the cyan haired girl both yelled.

"Yukino-san, Kori-chan." Kuroyomi said and the red haired girl, Yukino, and the cyan haired girl, Kori turned towards him to see that he had one of the crewmen tied up "This is the bastard that destroyed the icicle, causing Akagami-kun to fall to his death."

"Is this true?" Yukino asked as she walked towards the tied-up man as smoke started coming from her body.

"Yeah. And I'm glad I killed your brother, that kid was starting to get on my nerves!" The man yelled back seemingly not faced by the killing-intent released by the girl.

"NANI?" Came a loud yell just before ten Marine Warships flew into the sky before falling back down again, only to be impaled by crystals and wooden spikes which seemed to come from the water's surface.

There, standing on the water was none other than Youkai, Tsuri, and Kessho, the Yonko obviously being pissed.

"Who was it that just said that he had killed Akagami?" Youkai yelled and everyone pointed towards the Kekkei Fortress – or more precisely – they pointed towards the man who had just said it, even the marines pointed towards him.

"Men, get off of the Kekkei Fortress!" Uzuryu yelled to all of his men that were on said ship.

Then – before anyone knew it – Youkai was standing on the deck of his ship, and suddenly all of the marines on the ship felt their life-force leave them as they seemingly withered away. Youkai then looked down at the man with enough killing-intent to knock-out a giant. However, the man didn't seem faced by this in the slightest, making Tsuri raise an eyebrow as he and Kessho had also gotten up there.

Youkai then grabbed the guy at his collar before the man's body suddenly began to wrinkle as he was slowly mummified. When he was completely mummified, Youkai threw him off the ship and into the sea as the Yonko started crying at the loss of his son. By now, Whitebeard had also returned to his ship and Patty had returned to hers, while Shanks was arriving with his.

"Youkai." Uzuryu said, catching the Yonko's attention "I know how hard it is to lose a son, so what do you say to we bring an end to this battle, so that you can mourn his death?"

"…Fine." Youkai said before turning around and walking towards his cabin.

'Tou-sama…' Yukino thought as she thought back to something that happened a few years ago.

Flashback

"Hey, ototou, what are you doing?" Yukino asked as she walked over to an eight year old Akagami who was sitting out of one of the windows on the lowest deck on the ship above sea-level, fishing.

"Tsuri-san made me this fishing pole and told me that I could pass the time when we're moving from island to island by fishing." Akagami said.

"You're not gonna get anything while we're moving, silly." Yukino said.

Flashback end

Kori then thought back to when she first met the boy.

Flashback

Kuroyomi and a five year old Akagami walked through a town in the Land of Water, not noticing a girl watching them.

"So where are we going, Kuro-san?" Akagami asked as he looked up at Kuroyomi.

"We're going to get some supplies for the ship. You said you wanted to help, right? Well this is the perfect way." Kuroyomi said.

"Really?" Akagami asked, not entirely convinced.

"Really." Kuroyomi said before noticing something.

"Is there something wrong?" Akagami asked.

"Come out, I know you're there." Kuroyomi said, and a cyan haired girl, wearing dirty rags walked out from behind a crate, holding a kunai.

"Hand over all of your money!" The girl said.

"Such a pity." Kuroyomi said before taking a few steps towards the girl.

"I'm warning you! I'll use this thing!" The girl said, but then Kuroyomi knelt down and put his hand on the girl's head, making her eyes widen.

"It's a shame that a beautiful young girl like yourself would be left out on the streets like this." Kuroyomi said before bringing his free hand over the girl's hands, lowering her weapon before relieving her of it as he said "There's far more you could do with your life, why don't you come with us?"

"Yeah, you'll be the first friend I'll have who's my age." Akagami said as Kuroyomi rose to his feet.

"So what do you say?" He asked as he looked down at the girl.

"S-sure…" The girl said.

"Great. I'm Akagami by the way. What about you?" Akagami asked.

"Umm… K-Kori…" Kori said.

Flashback end

'Akagami-kun…' Kori thought before she started crying and Yukino knelt down to comfort her.

Everyone else also had sad looks on their faces with tears lining their eyes as they though back to happy memories of the young boy.

Land of Whirlpools' southern coast

Zolo was at the coast training as he was currently in the Tora Gari stance, and he executed said attack, cutting up a builder before he heard the sound of music being played.

"Ugh… How am I supposed to train with you playing on that flute of yours." He said as he looked towards a large rock which Tayuya sat on, playing her flute.

"You can fucking go train somewhere else, moss-head. I'm trying to catch a fish, and they're fucking drawn to this music." Tayuya said.

"Why don't you go somewhere else?" Zolo asked.

"Because this is where the largest fish are." Tayuya said before resuming playing.

"Hmph. Whatever…" Zolo said before he face the ocean as he went into the Tora Gari stance again before a huge Neptunian suddenly came out of the water just as Zolo swung his swords, and the Neptunian was cut into pieces.

"Well, thanks moss-head." Tayuya smirked.

"Stop calling me that!" Zolo yelled just before he heard something land on the sand of the beach, and he looked down to see what it was "Huh? Naruto? No, his whiskers are slightly thicker."

As Tayuya then came over, the boy slowly opened his eyes before asking " Huh? Wh-where am I?"

Naruto "What the…? What's with this weird writing?"

Kakashi "And that's our mission, we are to find that woman and bring her back here to Konoha."

Karin "Her name is Nico Robin, they say that she's the only person in the world capable of deciphering that writing."

Robin "Hello, Kakashi. It's been a while, hasn't it?"

Kakashi "Nico Robin…"

Robin "Next time on Naruto: Shinobi Hunters: Nico Robin."

Naruto/Akagami "Are you serious? He looks nothing like me! That guy looks like a complete fool!"

Kurama no Kyubi: Finally done. Now I hope you guys liked it. Also if you're wondering, Patty is one of the protagonists in the PS3 version of Tales of Vesperia, though I've not played that version of the game so her personality might be a little OOC. Now before we end this, I'd like to say that I'll post the second story preview for Uzumaki's Rebirth here as well as the story previews for two other stories I've got on my mind right now. Also before the previews, I'd like to tell you that whenever I come up with an idea for a story, I'll post two previews if it's a normal non-crossover story and three previews if it's a crossover story before I write the story.

Story Preview

Iruka "Team 7 will be: Uzumaki Naruto…"

Naruto "Never underestimate me! I don't quit, and I won't run! I'll accept your stupid question! Even if I risk ending up a Genin for the rest of my life, I'll still become Hokage, even if I can only make it by pure stubbornness. I don't care! I'm not afraid of you! Dattebayo!"…"I never go back on my word. That's… my nindo."

Iruka "… Uzumaki Karin…"

Karin 'What's this familiar feeling I have? This chakra… it can't be… No, Karin! Don't think like that, there's no way he'd be here!'

Iruka "… Haruno Sakura…"

Sakura "Understand this… I'm not letting you anywhere near Sasuke-kun."…"You're not even his type. And I'm not the weak, needy girl I used to be. You're not even on my radar now."

Iruka "… and Uchiha Sasuke."

Sasuke "My name is Uchiha Sasuke. There are plenty of things that I hate, but I don't see that it matters considering that there is almost nothing I do like. It seems pointless to talk about "dreams"… that's just a word, but what I do have is determination. I plan to restore my clan. And there's someone I have sworn… to kill."

Iruka "Your Jonin sensei will be Hatake Kakashi."

Kakashi "Sasuke. Calm down. Even if he gets me, I'll still protect you. I will never let my comrades die."

Jiraiya "Follow the exciting story of Uzumaki's Rebirth! Coming soon to !"

Naruto "Her chakra… it's like staring into a black, empty void."

Story preview

Kushina (narrating) "It's been more than 13 years since Kyubi, the so-called strongest Demon died, and left Minato his powers."

Kyubi "Minato, I've known you for a long time now. So, I'm giving you my power because there are no one I respect or trust more in either of the two worlds."

Kushina (narrating) "A year later, my and Minato's son, Namikaze Naruto was born to the world, and he seemed to have absorbed all of Kyubi's power into his own body, becoming the Kyubi's reincarnation."

Naruto 'I'm really a Demon…?'

Kushina (narrating) "But then, about half a year ago at Naruto's twelth birthday, Minato vanished."

Minato "Follow the story of Naruto: Makai Adventures! Coming soon to !"

Sakura "Wh-where are we?"

Information: This basically another universe kind of thing. The Human World, Gaia, and the Demon World, Makai, exist in parallel dimensions, and the only thing separating them is a thin dimensional barrier. One day, Kyubi, the strongest of the Daikyu (Great nine) which are the strongest of the Demons, gets chased by a Demon Hunter wearing a mask. Of course, it's not like Kyubi to run away, but none of his attacks seems to be working on the masked man. But then, the Kyubi's old "friend", Demon Hunter Namikaze Minato shows up, and the two are forced to work together, but in the end Kyubi doesn't see any other alternative, so he gives most of his powers to Minato while he, himself uses the rest of his powers to take on the masked man, giving Minato time to get away. One year later, Minato's son, Namikaze Naruto is born and appears to have turned out to be the reincarnation of the Kyubi since he's got nine tails, two fox ears, fangs, claws, red slitted eyes, and whiskers. On the day of Naruto's twelth birthday however, Minato suddenly vanishes without a trace, and it's not until half a year later when Naruto graduates from elementary school, he learns of what he is due to a certain incident and also learns that his father may be in Makai, so he decides to go there to find him.

Story preview

Nagato (using his Rinnegan to read from a tablet hidden in the Uzushio ruins) ""Many years ago, I fought and beat the Jubi, the strongest being in existence. But since not even I could kill it, I sealed it within myself, making me what would be called a "Jinchuriki". Before sealing it, however, I used my power to split the Jubi into Yin and Yang, and sealed the Yin half within myself before transforming the Yang half into a human. Whenever the world will be approaching a great crisis, the Jubi will be reborn as one of the original's descendants.""

Naruto "Follow the story of Naruto: Jubi's reincarnation! Coming soon to !"

Kurama no Kyubi: And that's that. And yeah, I know the story preview for Jubi's reincarnation is rather short, but the next one for that story will be longer. Now bye and see you next chapter. Oh, and be sure to REVIEW!
