Naruto: Shinobi Hunters

Digi-Destined saga

Battle of Uzushio arc

Kurama no Kyubi: Second chapter of the battle's about to begin, and as you know, Patty along with her Pirate crew will finally arrive to help out. But here's the problem, there's also a Marine Warship helping Uzushio in the battle, and I doubt they'll take kindly to a Pirate Ship being there for the same reason.

Rales Mckoy: I have to say, I like, this is just the beginning of the war and its already intense, I'm looking forward for more.

Kurama no Kyubi: And it'll just get better from here on out.

Element-OverLord: Well, This Is Getting Pretty Interesting! Didn't Expect To Se Kenshin Here! O_o Seriously, How Many Series Will You Put On The Fic! Also What You Think Of Adding Fate/Stay Night?

GOOD LUCK!

Kurama no Kyubi: Haven't watched Fate/Stay Night. But seriously, I would've thought someone would expect to see Kenshin here sooner or later seeing as one of the samurai ranks is Battosai.

johnsoncutter: you've added Kenshin to the mix of this killer battle to end all battle it's a never ending parade of hero and villians one crazy battle against all odds.

Kurama no Kyubi: I wouldn't really call it the "battle to end all battles" as there will be even greater battles later on in the series.

Bakuto Masaki: This is another good chater. And I didn't count the mercs and the Admirals since the Admirals are kinda realted to several ninjas ad from a ninja clan. Also, the next chapter will be an explosion! And hopefully the one after will have one hell of an epic sword clash.

Kurama no Kyubi: They're Vice Admirals, not Admirals, and none of their Marine subordinates are ninja. And you're right with the one after this one having an epic clash, though it likely won't be the one that you're expecting.

Chapter 21: Arrival of the Gambling Pirates

"There, you're all healed now." Karin said as she finished healing an Uzushio-nin that had been injured. She, Cutemon, and everyone else that had good medical skills were all put into squads of three, consisting of two medical units and one to protect them. Karin was partnered with Ike's younger sister, Mist, and the one protecting them was Cana.

"Thanks." The Uzushio-nin said.

"Don't thank me, just get up and continue fighting!" Karin scolded the man.

"R-right, ma'am." He said before getting to his feet and returning to the battle.

"I'm done here too." Mist said as she was done healing another one.

"Good, then we can move on." Karin said as she rose to her feet.

"Where to next?" Cana asked as she looked at her fellow Uzumaki and Karin started concentrating before something caught her attention and she looked towards a seemingly random direction.

"Karin!" Naruto said as he landed on the deck of the samurai Warship that they were on before putting the now unconscious Fu down on said deck.

"What happened?" Mist asked as she stepped towards him.

"She tried to take on Zorro by herself." Naruto said.

"That idiot! Does she have any idea of how stupid that is? She doesn't stand a chance against someone like him!" Karin said angrily as Mist held her Heal staff over Fu's head, though nothing seemed to happened so she brought the staff further down until finally reaching the female Jinchuriki's stomach where the red ball on the top of the staff started glowing.

"She doesn't have any exterior damage, but on the inside on the other hand, there's several broken and fractured ribs." She informed.

"Can you heal her?" Naruto asked as he looked at her.

"If I had a Mend staff, then sure. But I'm afraid that this Heal staff is only designed for smaller injuries." Mist explained and Naruto then turned to Karin.

"Don't worry. I'll get her up and running before you know it." She said, and Naruto nodded.

"I'll keep you to that." The blond said before rising to his feet "Well, I've got to get back to Jugo and Tayuya."

"Naruto-sama!" An Uzushio-nin said as he ran over to them.

"What is it?" Naruto asked as he looked at the man.

"I'm happy to inform you that we've managed to take care of every samurai on this ship. So this ship is now ours." The Uzushio-nin said.

"Good work." Naruto said before turning to the others "Well then, I'm off." And he shunshined away.

Nowi and the Dragon Slayers

"Karyu no Tekken!" Natsu called out as he punched a samurai in the face as his fist was engulfed in fire.

He and Gajeel where currently fighting off a legion of samurai aboard one of the samurai Warships while Nowi was flying around, destroying the Fighters surrounding it as Wendy was sitting on her back.

"There's a lot of them." Natsu said as he side-stepped a sword before round-house kicking the owner of said sword off the ship.

"What's wrong, Salamander? You scared?" Gajeel asked as he and Natsu came back-to-back.

"You kidding me? I haven't been this fired up since we fought Hades!" Natsu said as he leapt forward and gave a left hook to a samurai's head while Gajeel's arm shaped itself into some kind of metallic pole and he pushed several samurai away.

In the meantime, Nowi flew over several Fighter-class ships as she fired down large balls of what looked like chunks of ice from her mouth. Each of the samurai vessels sinking after being hit by just one of said chunks of ice.

"How the hell are we gonna fight a dragon?" One of the samurai asked.

"That's… It's a Manakete!" Another samurai yelled, causing everyone else to look questioningly at him "They're a nearly extinct species from South Blue. They usually take on a humanoid form, but they can transform into dragons."

"How do we defeat it?" Another one asked.

"You don't!" Nowi said as she fired a ball of ice that went straight through the ship's deck and into the water, causing the ship to sink.

"Whoa. Don't you think you're going a little overboard?" Wendy asked.

"Hmm… Maybe…?" Nowi said in thought before the two of them burst into a giggle-fit.

"Anyway. If we keep this up, this war's as good as ours." Wendy said as she looked out over the Samurai Armada, though she had to sweatdrop at the sight as there were still a lot of ships.

"Ah! Wendy! Look out!" Nowi called out, causing Wendy to look over her shoulder just in time to see a black silhouette jump into the air behind them and swung his/her sword at her.

"Aaaaaaahhhh!" She screamed.

Greil Mercenaries and Nailah

"ArcThunder!" Soren called out and a powerful bolt of lightning came down from the ceiling, taking down several samurai.

The group had fought their way down to the engine room rather easily as the passageways were rather narrow, so fighting their way forward was basically a piece of cake, especially with Soren's strategies. Now that they were in the engine room, however, well that was a different story as the room was HUGE, or at least compared to any other room that they'd ever seen on a ship. Not only that, but there were also a lot of samurai warriors in the room that they obviously had to deal with, and with the room's size, it didn't take long at all before they would've ended up separated and overwhelmed by the enemy forces, well that's at least what would've happened if it hadn't again been for Soren's strategies.

Instead of just charging in like total idiots, they divided into three teams; team 1 consisting of Ike, Rolf, Rhys, and Nailah, team 2 consisting of Soren, Oscar, Shinon, and Mia, and team 3 consisting of Titania, Boyd, and Gatrie.

"These guys just won't stop coming." Shinon said in slight frustration as he fired off a volley of arrows towards several of the samurai warriors, hitting everyone in vital places.

"I'm afraid there's not much we can do about that, Shinon." Oscar said as he rode past several samurai while striking them with his lance.

"Hey, no moping now, Shinon. I thought you preferred this to regular mercenary work." Mia said as she cut open a samurai's stomach.

"Hey, who's moping?!" Shinon retorted before firing several more arrows as he said "It's just that these bastards are so fucking persistent."

"Stop arguing." Soren said, catching everyone's attention, though they didn't show it as they kept their gazes on their foes "We need to concentrate on our objective; that engine at the back of the room."

Team 3

Boyd swung his axe and took out five guys with that one swing as Gatrie was behind him, facing the opposite direction as he thrusted his lance straight into an enemy's gut. Titania then rode past in-between them as she cut down several more samurai warriors.

"Follow me! I'll make a way to the engine." She said and the two ran after her, cutting down everyone that got in their way.

Team 1

Ike cut through several samurai in one swing as he moved forwards, quickly followed by Nailah in her Wolf form, who then – as Ike crouched down – jumped over the man and tore straight through the enemy soldiers like nothing.

"Light!" Rhys said as a bright light was emitted from his right hand, causing everyone that looked at it to go temporarily blind.

"AGH! My eyes!" One of the samurai said.

"Ouch!" Rolf said, catching Rhys' attention as a samurai had managed to give the boy a deep cut in his arm, said samurai then being hit between the eyes by Rolf's arrow.

"You all right?" Rhys asked as he came over.

"No. Had he gotten it a little further, I think he would've hit my bones." Rolf said.

"Here, let me heal it for you." Rhys said as he held his staff to the green-haired boy's arm and the blue stone on the top of the staff shone before the wound suddenly closed itself and Rolf could feel the pain fading away "There, all better."

"Thanks." Rolf said just before a samurai appeared just before them, about to swing his sword at them, only to be cut down himself by Ike.

"Don't let your guard down!" He said.

"Right!" Rolf said.

Team 2

"Critical Hit!" Mia said as she shot straight through several samurai, cutting them all down in the process "Whew. These guys really are never-ending, huh?"

"Thinking of giving up? Cause you should." An unfamiliar voice said and Mia turned towards it to see a girl that appeared to be about 18 years with short silver hair, and coal black eyes. What caught Mia's attention the most, however, was the fact that the girl was dressed in a white kimono.

"I would never even think of giving up." Mia said as she stared at the girl.

"Oh? Then you're more foolish than I thought. Especially seeing as you now have me, a Battosai as your opponent." The girl said as she put her right hand on the hilt of her sword.

"Like that's gonna scare me. I've fought creatures that would make you seem like an ant by comparison." Mia said.

"Huh. Cute. So what's your name, squire?" The girl asked.

"Ohh, I can assure you that I'm no squire. And it's Mia, by the way." Mia said.

"Mia, huh? Well, my name's Mai." The girl, now identified as Mai said before adding "But you can call me, "Battosai Fatale"." (Kurama no Kyubi: Get it? As in "femme fatale"?)

"Battojutsu: Ichi!" She called out as she shot towards Mia, aiming to kill, but the violet-haired girl simply jumped out of the way before swinging her sword down at Mai, but the latter blocked it with her own sword.

"You're faster than I thought." Mia commented.

"Of course I'm fast. If I wasn't, I couldn't call myself a Battosai." Mai said as she swung her sword, causing Mia to be sent skidding backwards as Mai sheathed her sword again before launching at her opponent.

"Battojutsu: Ni!" She called out as she drew her sword, but Mia managed to lean back in order to avoid it, however, then she was suddenly hit in the stomach by something hard so hard that she was again sent skidding backwards. She then came to a halt and looked towards her opponent only to see that she was holding her sword's sheathe in her left hand.

"The sheathe?" Mia asked out loud.

"Did you think the sword was my only weapon? In order to become a Battosai, you need to be a master of Battojutsu, which is why I've dedicated all my training to Battojutsu. There's no way for you to beat me." Mai said as she held the sheathe before her and sheathed her sword with the sword's hilt pointing towards the ceiling.

"Battojutsu: San!" She then charged at Mia as she drew her sword, hitting Mia in the stomach with the sword's hilt before knocking the purple-haired girl in the jaw with the sheathe as she finished drawing the sword. She then let go of the sheathe and spun around before hitting the sheathe with her sword, forcing it into Mia's stomach and sending her flying back before she rolled over the floor.

She then rose to her feet and looked towards her opponent to see that she had been quick enough to grab the sheathe in mid-air.

"See? There's no way that you can win this." She said as she sheathed her sword again.

"Heh. I wouldn't be too sure about that if I were you. Especially seeing as I haven't used any of my stronger attacks yet." Mia said as she got into a battle stance.

"You talking about that Critical Hit thing? Oh, please. I could probably beat that in my sleep." Mai said.

"No. This is even stronger than that." Mia said before charging at Mai as she called out "Vantage!"

"Nani?" Mai said when Mia suddenly vanished before then reappearing in her face.

"Heh. Behold my strongest attack. Astra!" Mia said before swinging her sword at Mai, though she managed to block it with her still sheathed sword.

"Huh. Is that all?" She asked.

"You shouldn't underestimate this move." Mia said before swinging her sword at Mai's abdomen, quickly followed by a swing to the chest.

'Na-nani? She moves too fast for me to react!' Mai thought before receiving a strike to the back and then finally Mia held her sword up over her head and ended the attack with a downwards chop, forming a deep vertical cut down Mai's back as blood splattered out.

"You're… stronger than I thought." Mai said before falling to her knees "Now, finish me."

"What?" Mia asked.

"I said, "finish me". A samurai lives for honor and dies for honor, so please, give me an honorable death." Mai said.

"Huh? Why would I do that? Can't we just make up and be friends?" Mia asked as she lowered her sword. (Kurama no Kyubi: Insert Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn recruitment music here.)

""Friends"?" Mai repeated the word as if it was new to her.

"Yeah. Why continue to work for that bastard Samurai Emperor when he's clearly in the wrong here." Mia said.

"In the wrong? You don't know anything, do you? The leader of this village kidnapped his son." Mai said as she slowly managed to get back up on her feet and turned to face Mia.

"Are you stupid or something? If Zolo-san had really been kidnapped by Naruto-kun, then why would he be fighting with us?" Mia said, causing Mai's eyes to widen as the purple-haired girl held out her left hand "Why don't you rather join our side in this?" However, Mai then slapped the girl's hand away.

"A wound on the back is a samurai's greatest shame, you've already taken away my honor by giving me just that, and now you even want me to betray my own?" Mai asked.

"No, I'm not asking you that. Look, I've been in plenty of battles before, and with Soren's strategies we've never lost a single fight no matter the odds. This one is no different. And you should realize that the longer this battle goes on, the more people will die, and just look around you, the vast majority of those people will be samurai." Mia said and Mai looked around to see that the samurai were more or less slaughtered by the mercenaries.

Her eyes then returned to her purple-haired adversary who again held out her hand as she said "If you help us, the shorter the battle could be, and there'll be fewer casualties. Also, about the wound on your back, I could ask Rhys-kun to fix it up for you. He's very good with that kind of thing."

Mai then stared at the floor before looking at Mia's hand as she reluctantly started extending her own arm while saying "All… all right. I'll join you for now." As she finished she grabbed Mia's hand and the purple-haired girl tilted her head to the right as she grinned with her eyes closed.

"That's great." She said.

Team 3

Titania, Gatrie, and Boyd had managed to get past all of the samurai as they reached the ship's engine which was quite large actually.

"So how do we stop this thing without destroying it?" Boyd asked as he looked up at it.

"Hmm? Could that be of any help?" Gatrie asked as he looked to the left where there was a lever that was positioned just in front of the middle of the engine.

"Really? It can't be as simple as that, can it?" Boyd asked as Titania jumped off her horse and walked over to the lever before pulling it, causing the humming nose that was coming from the engine to slowly stop "It can?"

"Looks like we made it. And now we've just got to take care of all of those guys." Gatrie said as he looked over the samurai, and there were still quite a lot of them, causing the heavily armored man to sweatdrop as he thought 'If they don't kill us first, that is.'

Team 1

"Hey, the noise from the engine stopped!" Rolf exclaimed.

"Yeah, but you still can't let your guard down." Ike said as he cut through one of the samurai.

"Oh, right. Sorry." Rolf said.

"Ike-san!" Soren said as he appeared next to Ike, having used his Wind Magic as means of transportation similar to the shunshin.

"Is everything going all right at your end?" Ike asked as he blocked an attack from a samurai before swinging his sword so that the samurai was sent flying backwards with a crescent-shaped wave of energy coming out of Ike's sword and going straight through the samurai.

"Yes. And it appears that Mia's even been able to convert one of them over to our side." Soren said as he sent several samurai flying with a gust of wind.

"Really?" Ike asked.

"Yes. And it also appears to be a Battosai." Soren said.

"Good. At this rate we'll need all the help we can–" Ike's words were stopped in his throat as he, Soren, and all of the other mercenaries as well as Nailah felt a chill going down their spine, and they all looked towards the door into the room as someone stepped out of the dark hallway.

Council of 5 members

"So, Mavis-chan, what do you think? Can they win now that they're getting so much help?" Luu asked as he looked at Mavis.

"Well, I've got to admit that whoever their strategist is, he's good. Maybe even close to my level. But…." Mavis said, dragging out the "but".

""But…"?" Van asked as he looked towards her out of the corner of his eyes.

"But it still won't help them much." Mavis said.

"Huh? Why's that?" Luu asked.

"Because it's not mine." Mavis said as she closed her eyes with a huff and Luu had to sweatdrop at her antics.

"But seriously, though." Mavis said as she opened her eyes and looked down at the battlefield with a calculating look "He made a fatal mistake when he didn't take into account Zolo's feelings towards his former master and Fu's anger towards Zorro. Not to mention that he also made a mistake with sending five people after Kine'mon; I would've just sent Vice Admiral Mira after him and the other four to four other locations. And then there's the Manakete and the Dragon Slayers, while it was a good call to have them pair up with each other, there's still the fact that they're currently up against someone who is both strong enough to pierce through Gajeel's armor and fast enough to dodge Natsu's flurry of punches. And lest not forget that most of the Uzushio people are divided."

"Hmm. You've got a point. But I still think they can beat the odds." Van said.

"You shouldn't be so sure. Right now, there is someone with insane power approaching the people known as the Greil Mercenaries." Mavis said.

"Insane power?" Van asked as he looked at the girl.

"Not by our standards of course. But compared to the mercenaries, he's on an entirely different level." Mavis said.

Greil Mercenaries

The mercenaries as well as the remaining samurai looked towards the door into the room as a person stepped in. The man had short black hair which was in a samurai-style ponytail and he wore a white samurai kimono. And at his left hip was a black katana.

"Th-that's… Ryuma-sama. It's Ryuma the King!" Mai said, causing the eyes of every one of the mercenaries to widen.

"That's… Ryuma?" Ike asked.

"But… what's he doing here? He should be at the other end of the battlefield." Soren said.

"Hmm… I take it you're wondering why I'm here, right?" Ryuma asked, bringing any conversation currently going on to a halt "Well, I was on my way to have a little chat with Dopai-san as it seems he's captured Zoro-sama."

'Nani?' Soren thought.

"Though, on my way there, I noticed this ship suddenly stopping." Ryuma continued before looking over the room as he said "Now then, I suggest for all of the remaining samurai in the room to leave immediately as not to be caught in the cross-fire." And immediately after Ryuma finished his sentence, all of the remaining samurai aside from Mai scurried out of the room.

"You're going to try and take on all of us all by yourself?" Shinon asked after all the fodder samurai had left as Ryuma started walking further into the room.

Then Nailah – in her Wolf form – leapt at Ryuma, but the Samurai General simply grabbed her neck before she could touch him and he threw her into the wall so hard that she transformed back to her humanoid form and fell unconscious.

"Impossible! Nailah's a Laguz Queen! There's no way she could be beat that easily!" Mia said.

"Ryuma-sama's not your average samurai. Even among our best, he's in a class all by himself. He's one of the Nanaidainakenshi, just like Zorro-sama. There's no way anyone here can even hold a candle to him." Mai said, fear evident in her tone.

"Hah! You might be strong, but you can't take on all of us!" Boyd said before charging across the room and as he approached Ryuma, he swung his axe.

CRSH!

Everyone's eyes widened not when Ryuma blocked the axe using his arm, but when the axe-head shattered upon contact. Ryuma then grabbed Boyd's head and lifted him off the ground as he continued adding pressure to the green-haired man's skull until he eventually lost consciousness and the Samurai General then dropped him onto the floor.

"BOYD/NII-SAN!" Oscar and Rolf yelled respectively before the latter fired two simultaneous arrows towards Ryuma, who caught them in-between his fingers before throwing them in two different directions in a single arm motion. One arrow hitting Rolf in the shoulder, and the other one would've hit Shinon in-between the eyes if he hadn't caught it.

Mia then gritted her teeth before charging towards the samurai.

"Matte, Mia-san!" Mai yelled after her, but it landed on deaf ears.

"Vantage!" Mia called out before appearing just in front of Ryuma, ready to swing her sword as she yelled "Astra!" She then swung her sword at Ryuma's stomach, but the man blocked it with his hand before blocking the next strike which was aimed at his left hip. Mia then moved to strike at his torso, but again it was blocked, prompting her to go for the point where his neck met his shoulder, but it was blocked again. Mia then smirked as she twisted her sword and attempted to cut straight through the guy's head, but to her surprise, it was blocked again.

Ryuma then delivered a palm-strike to Mia's stomach, causing her to go up into the air before crashing down on the floor on her back, unconscious as Ryuma continued walking forward.

Titania and Oscar then both came up in front of him, Titania swinging her axe downwards and Oscar thrusting his lance. However, Ryuma caught both weapons before showing a great deal of strength by throwing them – and the ones holding them – over his head, Titania and Oscar landing hard on their backs on the floor behind him as he walked past their horses.

"Dammit!" Shinon said before turning towards Gatrie "Oi, Gatrie! Let's show him our Thunder & Lightning attack!"

"Right!" Gatrie said before running as fast as the armor would allow him towards Ryuma.

When he eventually reached the samurai, he rammed into him with his shield and Shinon then aimed his bow upwards before firing a single arrow which went up before arching to go back down towards Ryuma's head. However, Ryuma had stopped Gatrie's attack with his right hand, and as the arrow came down, he caught it with his left hand before flicking Gatrie's shield, causing the heavily armored man to lose his balance.

The Samurai General then stabbed the arrow into Gatrie's stomach with enough force to pierce his armor before suddenly vanishing. As Gatrie fell to the floor Shinon could only stare in shock before Ryuma suddenly appeared next to him and knocked him out with a mere slap to the cheek with the back of his hand.

"Shinon!" Ike called out before looking over everyone else "Nailah! Boyd! Rolf! Mia! Titania! Oscar! Gatrie!" Now the only ones left were himself, Soren, Rhys, and the Battosai that Mia had convinced to come over to their side.

Ryuma then looked in the direction of him and Soren and the latter threw three books into the air before they were each engulfed by spheres of their respective element, Wind, Thunder, and Fire.

"This is your end! Magic Triangle!" Soren called out and a powerful wave of hurricane-like winds came in from the Wind Book before a massive stream of fire shot from the Fire Book, and thanks to the wind, the fire became much stronger as it raced towards Ryuma before engulfing him, and everything around him. Then a bolt of lightning shot up from the thunder book before shooting down on Ryuma, causing electrical sparks to fly everywhere.

As the fire died down, however, everyone's eyes widened when Ryuma was still standing there, unscathed.

"H-how…?" Soren said in pure shock before Ryuma raised his left arm and pointed it at Soren as he balled his hand into a fist and cocked his arm back. When he then thrusted the arm forward as if to punch someone, a fist-shaped wave of energy shot forward before hitting the still shocked Soren square in the face, sending him flying backwards and knocking him out.

"Soren!" Ike called out as he watched his friend crash into the floor before turning back to Ryuma. He then charged towards the Samurai General before he leaped into the air just in front of him and yelled "AETHER!"

Karin, Mist, Cana, and Fu

Fu was still lying unconscious on the floor of the deck as Karin was attempting to heal her and Mist, Cana and a few others were watching. Suddenly, however, Mist's head snapped in the direction of where her brother and fellow mercenaries were as she got a chilling feeling running down her spine.

"Something wrong?" Cana asked, but Mist then turned to her and shook her head.

"No. Everything's fine." She said before turning back in the direction of her fellow mercenaries as she thought 'Nii-san…'

Naruto

Naruto slammed a Rasengan into the stomach of a samurai who had jumped onto the water to fight him. The samurai was then sent spiraling straight into the hull of a Fighter-Class ship just where the wood started to meet the water, causing the ship to take on water.

As Naruto was looking at the sinking ship, however, another samurai came up behind him and swung his sword diagonally downwards. Naruto noticed it just in time to duck down before the samurai came in for a low sweep with the sword, trying to cut the blond's legs off, but Naruto just jumped over it. However, as he landed, the samurai thrusted his sword forward too fast for the blond to dodge in time.

"Hurricane Wave!" Suddenly, the samurai was knocked away by several long thin tornadoes, and Naruto looked up just as Kazemon landed in front of him.

"You all right, Naruto?" She asked.

"Yeah, and thanks." Naruto said.

"No problem." Kazemon said before suddenly noticing something as she turned towards the north-east, and Naruto followed her gaze.

"What is it?" He asked before his eyes widened for a second and his lips twisted into a smile at what he saw.

Sekai Senshi

"Zorro-sama! It's the Gambling Patty, the ship of the Yonko, "Gambler" Patty!" A samurai said as he looked through a telescope.

"Give me that." Jodai said as he snatched the telescope away from the man before looking through it himself, and his eyes widened.

Zorro, however, closed his eyes before reopening the right one as he thought 'Byakugan!' His right Sharingan suddenly expanded as the pupil turned white and expanded till it covered his entire iris while the Sharingan covered the rest of his eye. He then zoomed in on the north-east and was indeed greeted by the sight of Patty's ship, and upon a closer look he saw Patty herself standing at the bow of her ship, smiling.

"Why would one of the Yonko be here?" Jodai said before turning to Zorro "Zorro-sama, what should we do?"

"Relax." Zorro said as he closed his eye, shutting off the Byakugan before reopening both eyes "Even if she's a Yonko, there's no way she can beat an armada of this size."

"But she supposedly beat the former Yonko, Big Mam single-handedly." Jodai said.

"Even so, she's still just a kid, there's no way she can even hope to measure up to my level. And the only other note-worthy person in her crew, Seifer can be dealt with by Ryuma. A battle between those two could last for hours, which is more than enough time for us to destroy Uzushio."

Gambling Patty

"All right mates, it's time to pay Naruto-kun back for allowing us to stay here!" Patty said as her ship moved at a speed which shouldn't be possible for a normal ship.

"At this speed we won't be able to avoid the whirlpools." Seifer noted as he stood beside her.

"Tee-hee. I Know." Patty said with a grin.

"Heh. Sometimes I don't know whether you're suicidal or just plain crazy." Seifer said.

"Oh, Seifer-san. You know as well as I that whenever I gamble, whether it's with money or with my life, I can't lose. That's how I beat Big Mam, after all." Patty said before throwing her right arm forward and pointing to one of the larger whirlpools "Take us into that whirlpool right there, mates!"

The ship then moved towards the aforementioned whirlpool, and as it entered it, the ship sped up as the whirlpool tried to swallow it.

"Ready, mates? If so… NOW!" Patty said and the ship suddenly raced off the edge of the whirlpool with such speed that it literally flew into the air before coming down towards one of the samurai Warships as Patty had a wide grin on her face equal to Naruto's own.

"Th-they're crazy!" A samurai on the ship that Patty's ship was heading for yelled. The Gambling Patty then impacted with the Warship at the middle, causing the samurai ship to split in half, while Patty's ship amazingly got through it unscathed.

Marine Warship

"Vice Admiral Kira! That's the ship of the Yonko, "Gambler" Patty!" A Marine soldier said.

"I know." Kira said before looking towards the Gambling Patty as she narrowed her eyes "Patty." She then turned to her men and said "I'll be leaving for a while. So until I return, Captain Seyro will be in charge." Then she jumped off the ship and just as she hit the water, she started running.

Suigetsu, Gray, Juvia, and Lucy vs. Kine'mon

Kine'mon swung his sword at a now shirt-less Gray, but said Ice-Maker jumped back to dodge it before he brought his hands together.

"Ice-Make: Lance!" He called out before several lances of ice shot out of his hands and headed for the Battosai, but they were quickly melted as Kine'mon swung his sword as fire came out of it.

"Hah! You shouldn't leave yourself open!" Suigetsu said as he came up behind Kine'mon and swung his massive blade.

"You are wrong. I am not leaving myself open." Kine'mon said before quickly turning around as he swung his sword to parry Suigetsu's with such force that the Uzushio-nin was sent skidding backwards "I never let down my guard."

"Water Lock!" Juvia said as she appeared next to the samurai, and water molecules in the air started to mix together to form bubbles of water before a sphere of unusually dense water engulfed Kine'mon. However, despite the water's density, Kine'mon still managed to swing his sword, causing the sphere to splatter into ordinary water.

"To think that you believe that such a technique can stop me, is really an insult." He said.

"Ice-Make: Hammer!" Gray called out, and a large hammer made of ice suddenly appeared above Kine'mon and Juvia as the latter jumped out of the way.

"You never seem to learn. Ice don't work on someone that uses fire." Kine'mon said before he got ready to swing his sword, but just then.

"Open, Gate of the Scorpion, Scorpio!" Lucy called out and a dark-skinned man appeared in a puff of smoke. Half his hair was red, while the other half was white, and he also had what appeared to be a metallic scorpion tail, though it had a hole in the end like a cannon.

"Wheee! All right, Lucy, let's show this guy what we've got!" The man, Scorpio shouted before aiming his tail at Kine'mon who was just in the process of melting Gray's hammer, and suddenly came a blast of sand out of the tail and impacted with the samurai. However, the sand was rather loose and not nearly as dense as Scorpio's attack usually was.

'Sand?' Kine'mon thought as the sand swept by him and a lot of it gathered around his feet. However, just as Scorpio's attack ended, Juvia fired off a gallon of water at the sand, causing it to grow heavier, and sure enough, Kine'mon found it difficult to walk.

Suigetsu then came up in front of the Battosai and swung his sword, but Kine'mon blocked it with his own.

"Even if you have immobilized my legs, I can still use my arms to block any of your attacks." The samurai said.

"Heh. Guess again." Suigetsu said.

Sensing something, Kine'mon looked towards Gray to see that he was now holding a large cannon made out of ice, and it seemed to be ready to fire.

"I see. An excellent plan; distracting me with the ice hammer, covering my feet with sand, moistening the sand, making it heavy, you blocking my blade, keeping it in place, and then finishing me off with that cannon. However, it will take more than that to bring me down!" Kine'mon said just before the cannon fired and Suigetsu jumped back just before Kine'mon was engulfed in an icy explosion.

However, when the smoke died down, the Battosai was nowhere to be found.

'Nani?!' Suigetsu thought before instinctively looking up and his eyes widened as he saw that Kine'mon was now above them.

"But how?" Lucy asked before the samurai landed behind Suigetsu.

"Simple." He said as he swung his sword, sending Suigetsu flying through the air towards the blond due to him having used his own sword to attempt to block it "Even though my movement had been slowed, my feet weren't completely immobilized. And with the great strength I have, I was able to jump into the air just before the attack could hit me."

"But I saw you getting hit." Suigetsu said as he rose to his feet.

"What you saw was an Afterimage; a projection of yourself created when moving at great enough speed." Kine'mon said before sheathing his sword "Now then, I think I'll finish you off with my strongest technique. You should be honored, not many people your age gets to see this."

'His strongest technique? But he just sheathed his sword.' Lucy thought.

"Now then, prepare yourselves." Kine'mon said before charging towards them as he gripped his hand around the sword's hilt.

"Battojutsu: Kasai Kitsune Surasshu!" As he called that out, he drew his sword and swung it as it was engulfed in flames, causing a large and wide crescent-shaped wave of fire to shoot out of the sword and towards the three wizards and one ninja.

However, just then a wall of water came up, blocking the fire before said wall turned into a cyclone of water as it shot up into the air before coming crashing back down to the deck, and as all of the water had crashed into the deck, some of it suddenly rose up to form a person out of water. When the water had then fully formed itself into a person, and then solidified itself, it was revealed to be Vice Admiral Mira.

"Sorry I'm late, guys. But I got lost on my way here." She said in a cheerful tone as she smiled and looked at Kine'mon.

Gambling Patty

"Patty-taichou, I'll go and soften their numbers a bit." Seifer said as he stood on the ship's railing.

"Go get 'em, mate!" Patty said, and Seifer then jumped off and landed on a plank that was floating on the water before starting to run over the water, using the various planks scattered around as he didn't know the water-walking technique.

As he ran, he cut down various samurai that tried to get in his way, though all of them fell like flies before his anchor which he was again holding in his left hand as though it was a sword.

He then jumped onto a Warship and landed on the deck in a crouched position as he looked at the samurai of the ship, all of which slowly backed away and gulped audibly. Then before anyone could react, Seifer vanished and then reappeared on a piece of another ship's hull which was floating on the water, and behind him, the ship he had just been on broke into a million pieces.

He looked up from his crouched position while smiling.

Waters to the south of the battle

Swimming through the water was some kind of turtle-like creature and sitting on its back was a human. He had spiky brown hair, a red cap which had a white dome on the front with a smaller red one within that again. He also wore a red sleeveless jacket which was opened near the top with a white stripe going up the middle and a black t-shirt underneath. He also wore blue pants and on his back was a yellow back-pack. This was the strongest Pokemon Trainer in the world, Red.

Chapter preview

Mavis "First Patty Flour, who on her ship, has one that has the strength to rival Ryuma. And now, Pokémon Trainer Red, who – along with Zorro – are among ten people that can rival the likes of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara. Looks like they might have a chance, after all."

Random samurai "Nan-nanda…?"

Red "If you thought that I would be an easy target when my Pokémon weren't around, you were wrong."

Mavis "Next time on Naruto: Shinobi Hunters: a Battle of Gods: Red vs. Zorro!"

Zorro "I see. So you've eaten one of the Devil Fruits, have you? And quite an appropriate one too."

Character information

Name: Uzumaki Karin.

Age: 14

Affiliation: Kusagakure (former), Otogakure (former), Uzushiogakure.

Affinity: Chakra.

Likes: People with powerful chakra.

Dislikes: Orochimaru, People with disgusting chakra.

Info: Karin grew up as an orphan in Kusa, bearing no memories of her parents. From a young age, she knew that she was smarter than everyone else her age, and since entering the academy, she was always at the top of the class when it came to booksmarts, though she seriously lacked any kind of skills at fighting. She also discovered that she had strong sensory abilities, able to sense everything around here from well-hidden Jonin to tiny insects. However, after attempting and failing the Chunin Exams, she became depressed, thinking that she wasn't suited to be a ninja like everyone had told her, but then she was approached by Orochimaru, and giving in to her urge to grow stronger, became a missing-nin. She was put in charge of Orochimaru's Southern Hideout, but was eventually approached by Naruto who freed her and all of the prisoners in the hideout from the Sannin's clutches to become ninjas of Uzushio.

Kurama no Kyubi: And that's it for that chapter. Also, I was thinking that the various Fire Emblem characters – or at least some of them – would eventually advance in Class, so I was wondering if any of you have a suggestion on a higher class than the classes that they're already in. And if there are higher Classes already in the Fire Emblem franchise that I may not know of, then please tell me about them.
