Naruto: Shinobi Hunters
Digi-Destined saga
Battle of Uzushio arc
Kurama no Kyubi: Now it's finally time for what might be the greatest and most epic battle of the arc, the fight between Red and Zorro.
Bakuto Masaki: I see what you mean now. And you'd think you'd save that clash for last. Not next. Anyway great chapter. And Wendy and Nowi are in serious trouble.
Kurama no Kyubi: No need to worry, they've got Natsu and Gajeel there to help them.
Ace6151: damn, this is turning into a regular Smash Bros. reunion with Ike and Red
Kurama no Kyubi: Well, unless Lloyd gets added to Smash 4 there won't be any other Smash characters appearing in the battle, with the exception of Pikachu of course.
Rales Mckoy: Very intense, I loved it and looks like the next fight will be extremely epic, the Red vs Zorro! I'll love this.
Kurama no Kyubi: And to think we're still only halfway into the battle.
Element-OverLord: You Crazy Genius, Now You Add RED Of All People Here! I Can't Help But Wonder WHO Will Defeat Zorro...
GOOD LUCK!
Kurama no Kyubi: You'll just have to wait and see.
Johnsoncutter: say is Naruto going to have rematch with zolo's father and hopefully this time he can really show that stubborn samurai that his biased opinion on ninja's in general is wrong and speaking of which will we finially learn of the reason behind his vendetta against all ninja kind in the next chapter? you call what you done in chapter 22 light dude you just love creating all sorts of situation which reeally push the charcter from multiple animes and games to the very limit and beyond with nearly brutal and insane challenges which are beyond their skill levels at the time of those encounters in short if you're idea of light is something like this clash of samurai,ninja, mages, pirates, marines and dare I say it potentially the gods themselves then I hate to see you're idea of what you call big period.
Kurama no Kyubi: I haven't really thought much about Zorro's opinion on ninjas all that much, so even I still don't know where it comes from, but I can say that there is a story there somewhere in his past which I hope to reveal sometime in the future, though it likely won't be in this arc. Also, I never called the previous chap "light", I just said that there would be greater battles in the future.
EvilSlayer103: The hell is this i came for digimon but all i see is fairy tail,one piece,and fire emblem bs you are straying from the digimon part cuz it looks like it's in the background when you do digimon x naruto keep it the same crossover and stop bringing in more people from shows ppl wasnt expecting stop just stop.
Kurama no Kyubi: No one's forcing you to read this, so if you want to, you can just stop and move over to another story instead of complaining about it. Also, Digimon is not pushed off to the background, even if it might seem like it is for a couple of chapters. But if you want more Digimon themes then you can come for the chapter after the one that's after this one.

Chapter 22: a Battle of Gods: Red vs. Zorro!
Gajeel was sent skidding backwards before coming to a halt and he looked at the opponent that they were up against. It was a woman with long red hair in a ponytail who wore a red samurai kimono and in her right hand she was holding a katana as in her left hand was a wakizashi which she held in a reverse grip.
"Damn. This woman's good." Natsu muttered as he looked behind the woman were Nowi – now in her human-like form – lying unconscious as Wendy was crouching over her, using her healing magic to try and keep her alive.
"Nowi-san…" The blue-haired pre-teen said before looking up at the red-haired samurai as she thought back to what happened earlier.
Flashback
"Ah! Wendy! Look out!" Nowi called out, causing Wendy to look over her shoulder just in time to see the red-haired samurai in the air behind them, swinging her sword.
"Aaaaaaahhhh!" Wendy screamed.
Just then, however, Gajeel appeared in the air in front of the samurai, blocking her sword with his right arm which he had formed into a tagged metal blade. To his surprise, however, her blade managed to dig several inches into his own.
"Gajeel-san!" Wendy exclaimed as Gajeel's cheeks puffed up in preparation for his breath attack.
"Tekryu no Hoko!" He then blew out a storm of metal shards from his mouth, causing the woman to be blown backwards before landing on the deck of a Warship as the Iron Dragon Slayer landed on the ship's deck as well.
"Heh. You're stronger than the rest of those weaklings." Gajeel said.
"Never refer to your enemies as weak. Arrogance will only lead to you getting killed." The woman said.
"Anna?" Nowi said in surprise as she landed on the deck behind Gajeel. The woman, now identified as Anna then pointed her sword towards the Manakete.
"Who are you, and how do you know my name?" She asked.
"It's me, Nowi! Don't you remember Nowi?" Nowi said.
"Sorry, but I haven't seen you before in my life. I think I would've remembered if I had." Anna said.
"Nani? How can you say that after all we went through together under Chrom?" Nowi asked.
"Who?" Anna asked.
"You don't even remember Chrom?" Nowi asked.
"Nowi-san, are you sure that you know her?" Wendy asked.
"Yeah, I'm positive. Other than her clothes and weapon, she's completely identical to the Anna I know." Nowi said.
"I see." Anna said, catching everyone's attention "I'm not the Anna that you know. But I am a relative of hers."
"Ooh, right! I forgot that there were a whole lot of you guys!" Nowi said.
"Anyway, enough talk. Let's get back to fighting." Anna said as she pulled out a wakizashi, holding it in a reverse grip.
"Heh. I couldn't agree more." Gajeel said before charging at Anna before swinging his sword, but the woman simply jumped over the swing before landing on the deck in a crouched position and thrusted her sword forward, but Gajeel dodged it by jumping to his right.
"Let's help out!" Nowi said before charging at Anna and fired a chunk of ice.
Anna dodged it before charging at the Manakete and she stabbed her sword into Nowi's chest, causing the Manakete to fall down onto the deck and Wendy fell off her back and went face-first into the deck.
"Are you guys all right?" Natsu said as he landed on the Warship's deck.
"No one asked you to come, Salamander." Gajeel said.
"Well, from where I was, it looked like you needed some help." Natsu said.
"Yeah, you wish, Salamander." Gajeel said.
"Um, boys?" Anna said, catching the two Dragon Slayers' attention "Are you gonna keep on arguing or are we gonna fight?"
"Right." Natsu and Gajeel said simultaneously before charging at the woman.
Flashback end
"Karyu no Tekken!" Natsu exclaimed as he charged at Anna, his fist bursting into flames. He then aimed a punch at the red-head, but she dodged it as though it was child's play. Natsu continued trying to hit her, but she still kept on dodging his punches before eventually blocking a punch with her wakizashi and she struck down the Dragon Slayer with her katana.
"Natsu-san!" Wendy yelled from where she was still in the process of healing Nowi.
"Tekryu no Kamikaze!" Gajeel called out as his right arm had transformed into a cannon and he fired off a powerful blast of wind filled with metal shards towards Anna.
Anna, however, simply jumped out of the way of the attack which then went out over the ocean before impacting with another Warship. Natsu then got to his feet and gathered not only fire, but also lightning in his right hand.
"Raienryu no Gekitetsu!" However, Anna managed to jump into the air just in time to avoid the attack before landing on the deck behind Natsu and giving him a chop to the back of his neck, effectively knocking him out.
"Natsu-san!" Wendy yelled again.
"Dammit…!" Gajeel muttered to himself before thrusting his arm forward as it formed itself into a metal column, but to everyone's surprise, Anna blocked the column by stabbing her katana into the middle of its head, causing cracks to run down along it, all the way till the man behind it.
Anna then pulled the katana out and just as Gajeel retracted his arm, she jumped into the air and landed in a crouched position on it. As the arm started going back to its normal form, Anna kicked Gajeel in the lower jaw before following up with a roundhouse kick to the side of his head, sending him crashing into the ship's railing.
"And now, time to finish you off." Anna said before starting to walk towards Gajeel.
"Hold it!" Anna turned towards the voice to see Wendy standing there, ready to fight "I'll be your opponent!"
"You? Not to burst your bubble or anything, but shouldn't you be seeing to your friend's injuries?" Anna asked as she looked at the girl.
"I've already stopped the bleeding, and the wound wasn't all that serious, either." Wendy said.
"I see. You're a good medic for someone your age." Anna said.
"Healing isn't the only thing I can do." Wendy said.
"Yes, I figured as much. But enough talk, I think it's time to finish this." Anna said before charging at Wendy.
"Tenryu no Hoko!" The blue-haired Dragon Slayer called out and a powerful vortex of wind was sent at Anna, but said samurai jumped high into the air and prepared to swing her sword as she came down.
"Wendy!" Gajeel called out as he was struggling to get to his feet.
Just then, however, a bolt of lightning came down, went through Anna, sending her back, and hit the deck in front of Wendy. As Anna then landed in a crouched position on the deck – obviously injured from the lightning hitting her – she looked up to see that someone else had arrived.
Wendy looked up at the one standing in front of her and smiled, and even Gajeel smirked.
"Heh. About time." The Iron Dragon Slayer said.
"Laxus-san!" Wendy exclaimed as Laxus stared at Anna.
At the back of the armada
At the armada's rear, things weren't nearly as exciting as on the front as nothing was really happening. On the Dreadnaught that was farthest in the back, the samurai were only running around to steer the ship as they didn't really have anything else to do.
However, just then, an orange lizard on two legs and with large wings – making it resemble a dragon – landed. It also had a white under-belly, and the insides of its wings were also white, and at the end of its tail was a flame.
"CHAR!" The lizard called out as it launched a massive storm of flames from its mouth, and every samurai that were caught in said flames didn't even get time to scream. Then a person suddenly came up from outside the ship and landed on the deck next to the lizard before pulling out a fist-sized ball which was red on the top half, white on the lower half, and had a black line around the middle which had a white button on the front.
He threw the ball and it opened as a white light came out of it to reveal a saurian creature which had a large flower on its back.
"SAUR!" It roared as it landed on the deck.
"Venosaur, use Vine Whip to throw one of the Warships into another one." The man said and suddenly a pair of vines came out of opposite sides of the flower on Venosaur's back before said vines extended to impossible levels before they wrapped around one of the samurai Warships and lifted it up into the air. The ship was then thrown, and it crashed into another one.
"Charizard, fly into the air and use Flamethrower to burn the surrounding ships." The man said and Charizard nodded before taking to the skies and beginning his assault on the samurai ships.
While this was going on, a large blue turtle with a brown shall and a pair of cannons coming out of said shell swam around in the water as it fired blasts of pressurized water from its cannons, destroying many of the samurai vessels.
"BLAST!" It said as it fired two bursts, destroying a Warship like it was nothing.
Back up on the Dreadnaught, Venosaur charged at a bunch of samurai as it knocked them away with Vine Whip. The man then pulled out one other Poké-Ball and a ball that was black with some yellow stripes on the top-half. He then threw them into the air, and in a flash of white light came a large, fat creature falling down and as it landed, the wood on the deck around it cracked. It was mostly black, though the area on its stomach was skin-colored.
"SNORLAX!" It cried as it fired a white beam of energy from its mouth. The beam went straight into the wall of the cabins at the rear of the ship, completely destroying them.
Many of the samurai were then lifted into the air by some unknown power as each of them was enshrouded in a blue light. They then looked towards the one that lifted them into the air to see a pink cat-like creature floating in the air as its eyes were glowing in the same blue color that were surrounding them. The cat's tail also split into two near the tip and on its forehead was a red crystal.
"ESP!" It cried as a rainbow colored beam shot from the crystal on its forehead and engulfed all of them.
"Snorlax, Venosaur. You two head over to the next Dreadnaught." The man said and Snorlax jumped into the water and started swimming while Venosaur launched its Vine Whip over to a nearby Warship, wrapping it around the mast and launched himself towards the ship, destroying the mast as he landed on it and then proceeded to launch the Vine Whip over to the mast of another Warship to continue on its way.
"Espeon. Use Psychic to tear the samurai ships apart. Start from here, and head over in the direction of Kumira's fleet. Charizard, you and Blastoise go with her." The man said and Charizard and Espeon flew away while Blastoise swam.
"Look! He's let down his guard. Now let's strike him from all sides." One of the samurai said and he along with several others charged at the man, though the eyes of one of the samurai widened as he realized who the man was.
"No… Wait! That man, he's…" He stuttered as his fellow samurai kept on charging towards the man who was now slowly turning towards them.
Council of 5 members
"Hmm…" Mavis looked over the battle as she seemed to be in deep thought, something that didn't go unnoticed by Luu.
"Something wrong, Mavis?" He asked and she then closed her eyes.
"No." She said before opening her eyes again as she continued "It's just that… First Patty Flour, who on her ship, has someone 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."
Red
"I-it's Pokémon Trainer Red!" The samurai said just as all of his friends that were charging at Red were hit by a wave of electricity before falling to the deck, unconscious.
"Nan-nanda…?" One of the remaining samurai said in shock.
"If you thought that you would be an easy target when my Pokémon weren't around, you were wrong." Red said as he held up another Poké-Ball, and this time appeared a yellow-furred rat on his shoulders. It had red cheeks that were coated with electricity, a pair of pointy ears with black tips on its head, two brown stripes on its back, and a tail that was brown at the base and was in the shape of a lightning bolt "Now, Pikachu, use Lightning Bolt."
"PIKACHU!" The rat cried out and suddenly a huge bolt of lightning came down and engulfed the entire ship before hitting the ocean, causing all of the surrounding ships to be torn to shreds as bolts of electricity connected to the lightning bolt rose out of the water and travelled several kilometers outwards before vanishing.
As the lightning bolt vanished, Red along with his Pikachu – which was still on his shoulders – were revealed to now be standing on a single floating piece of wood, neither seeming to have been damaged even slightly by the attack. Everything else on the other hand, well, other than the piece of wood they were standing on there wasn't anything left of the Dreadnaught while all of the other ships affected by the attack had been reduced to floating ship-wrecks.
"Pikachu, I want you to go and find the leader of Uzushio. When you've done that, send an electrical signal to me." Red said as he crouched down and put Pikachu down.
"Pikachu?" The small rat asked.
"I'm going to take care of Zorro-san. Unless someone deals with him, this battle won't be ending any time soon." Red said as he rose back to his feet.
"Pika!" Pikachu said before running off and when he reached the end of the wood they were on, he jumped over to a nearby plank before jumping over to a second one and to a third and continued on as Red looked after him.
"All right, then." The Pokémon Trainer said as he then looked towards the Sekai Senshi "Hope you're ready, Zorro-san."
Sekai Senshi
"Hmm?" Zorro suddenly looked in a seemingly random direction.
"Something the matter, Zorro-sama?" Jodai asked.
"No, it's nothing." Zorro said before thinking 'This feeling…' He then turned to Jodai and said "Why don't you go help Hitokiri Battosai take care of Takeda and that other one?"
"You sure? I thought you said that the Hitokiri could handle it himself." Jodai said as Zorro turned towards the stairs going down to the ship's main deck and started walking down them.
"I did say that, but I think it'd be best of you to go and do as I say now. Trust me, you don't want to be here in a few minutes." He said, confusing Jodai.
"Very well. I'll leave immediately." The Battosai said before jumping off the ship's bow and landing on the water before running off in the direction that Hitokiri Battosai had headed off in earlier.
Zorro continued walking towards the back of the ship, and when he approached the door into the cabins, he came to a halt and said "You're not wasting any time, I see."
"Zorro-san, this has to stop." Red – who was now standing just in front of the ship's bow – said.
"Oh? And why is that?" Zorro asked as he turned around while putting his hand on his sword's hilt.
"No matter your intentions, if this battle continues on much further, it could lead the world down a path to destruction." Red said.
"Is that so? And how is that?" Zorro asked.
"I… don't know. But Lugia…" Red began, but Zorro interrupted him.
"Lugia? That's what you get for constantly trusting those things you call Gods blindly. The only one that you can really trust in this world is yourself." Zorro said before drawing his sword and pointing it at Red "Now then, enough talk. Come at me."
"Well, I tried." Red muttered to himself before looking Zorro in the eyes with a determined look "All right, Zorro-san. Let's go."
The two then charged at each other before Zorro swung his sword towards Red, but the Pokémon Trainer merely jumped out of the way before his nails suddenly elongated into claws.
"Normal: Scratch!" He said as he attempted to scratch the samurai, but Zorro blocked it with his sword before swinging it, causing Red to be sent backwards as he did a backwards flip in mid-air before landing back on the deck.
"Fire: Fire Blast!" The Pokémon Trainer called out as he fired a large blast of fire which kinda resembled a five-pointed star out from his mouth. The blast of fire shot towards Zorro, but the samurai simply swung his sword, causing a crescent-shaped wave of energy to shoot out and impact with the Fire Blast, causing a huge explosion which sent any of the normal samurai that were on the deck, flying off the ship.
Red ran through the smoke from the explosion and aimed a punch at Zorro's face as his right fist started glowing in a white light.
"Normal: Mega Punch!" He called out, but Zorro jumped back to dodge it, however, then a Vine Whip came out of Red's left t-shirt sleeve before wrapping around Zorro's right leg, causing to fall backwards onto the deck. But as Red was about to hit him, he rolled out of the way, causing Red to instead punch straight through the deck as Zorro cut through the Vine Whip and got to his feet.
He then kicked Red in the chest so hard that the Pokémon Trainer was sent flying backwards, though he managed to regain his balance in mid-air and landed safe on the deck before breathing in heavily.
"Flying: Gust!" He called out as he blew a massive storm of winds towards Zorro, who was actually pushed back by it.
"I see. So you've eaten one of the Devil Fruits, have you? And quite an appropriate one too." Zorro said.
"That's right. It's the Poké-Poké no Mi. It gave me every kind of Pokémon move and ability." Red said as he appeared behind Zorro, having used Teleport "Fighting: Triple Kick!" He then delivered three rapid kicks to Zorro's back, sending the Samurai Emperor flying before he managed to regain his balance and skidded to a halt as he turned around to face the Pokémon Trainer.
"Heh. You're better than I thought you'd be. Maybe I should step up my game." Zorro said before closing his eyes, and when he opened them again, his right eye had a red background with a black X going across it and his left eye had a black background with a red five-pointed star in it.
Naruto and Kazemon
"Tempest Twist!" Kazemon called out as she had her hands on the water and her legs spread as she spun quickly, creating a strong force of wind which sent many samurai flying away.
"U…" A Naruto clone kicked a samurai into the air "… zu…" Another one kicked him higher into the air "… ma…" A third one kicked him even higher "… ki…" The original then jumped onto the back of a fourth clone and jumped up to above the samurai before delivering a powerful kick to his back "… Naruto Rendan!" And he was sent down into the water as the blond landed, however then, another samurai came up behind him and swung his sword at him.
"Naruto!" Kazemon exclaimed, and Naruto looked over his shoulder just as the sword blade neared him.
"Fist of the Beast King!" An orange lion head-shaped blast of energy then impacted with the samurai, sending him flying away before he crashed into the hull of a samurai Warship. Naruto and Kazemon looked towards where the attack had come from and smiled when they saw Leomon standing there.
"You shouldn't let down your guard, Naruto-san. It makes for a bad example in front of your men." He said.
"Heh heh. Sorry." Naruto said as he showed off his foxy grin while scratching the back of his head.
Suddenly, they heard an explosion and looked towards where it came from to see that one of the Dreadnaughts was nearing the beach and had started firing, it's cannonballs reaching almost all the way to the campsite. Behind the Dreadnaught were another ten Warships and countless of Fighters.
"That's not good. What's Gildarts-ossan doing?" Naruto said.
"Can't say, but even he would need help against all of those." Leomon said.
"I should be able to handle the Warships." Kazemon said.
"And I'll take care of the Dreadnaught." Leomon said before turning to Naruto "Naruto-san, you should get back to DoruKamemon and the others."
"Right." Naruto said before running off.
"All right then, let's go." Leomon said before he and Kazemon headed off in the direction of the Dreadnaught and the Warships.
Gildarts
It was apparent since the beginning that if the samurai were able to reach the island, the battle would already be over. Therefore one last line of defense needed to be put up at the beach to stop the samurai from touching land, and who better to be that last line of defense than Gildarts?
The Uzumaki in question was currently standing on the rock that Naruto had been on earlier as he watched the Dreadnaught come closer. He knew that even with his magic, destroying a Dreadnaught would not be an easy task.
"Whoa, that thing's huge. So what're you gonna do, Gildarts?" A voice which seemed to come out of nowhere said.
"I'm gonna have to destroy it, though it won't be easy." Gildarts said.
"Really? I thought with your magic, you could easily destroy whatever you wanted. And even what you don't want to." The voice said.
"Yes. But all samurai ships are made with a special kind of wood which has magic repelling qualities. Of course, magic can still do damage to it, but the damage will only be a fraction of what it would normally be." Gildarts explained.
"And that is relevant, because…? Look, just get up on that ship's deck and kill all the samurai, it's as simple as that." The voice said.
"Don't worry. I was planning on doing that." Gildarts said before he vanished in a shunshin.
Akagami
"Ranton: Arashi!" Akagami called out and suddenly the winds started picking up to near-hurricane levels as it also started to rain. All of the samurai went flying due to the strong winds and even all Fighter-class ships were lifted into the air and either crashed against each other, the Warship that Akagami was currently on, or they crashed harmlessly into the water.
"Heh. These guys are a joke. I don't even have to go all-out on them." Akagami said as he looked at the samurai that managed to keep their feet on the deck 'That might be a good thing, though, as whenever I really go all-out, I completely lose control and attack friend and foe alike.'
"So you're "Red-Skin" Akagami, son of Youkai." A samurai said as he walked out of the crowd. He had shoulder-length black hair which went down the left side of his face, hiding his left eye. He also had several scars on his face and wore a white samurai-style armor as well as a white cape with a silver underside. (Kurama no Kyubi: Imagine a white version of the samurai costume for Naruto in NUNS 3 just with an added cape.)
"And you're…?" Akagami asked.
"I'm Yatta, a Battosai." The samurai said.
'A Battosai? I'm pretty confident in my own abilities, but I'm not sure if I can–'
"NARUTO-KUN!" Just then, something suddenly ran into and glomped Akagami, causing him to fall onto the deck as he felt as though something or someone was on top of him, though he couldn't see anyone.
"Ah! You're not Naruto-kun!" A female voice said before a silver-haired girl who couldn't be more than a year older than him appeared out of nowhere on top of him.
'Fukashi-san?' Akagami thought as he noticed the silver hair, thinking of one of his old crewmates who also had that hair color.
"Sorry 'bout that." The girl said with a pout as she rose to her feet.
"Who are you, anyway? You kind of looks like someone I know." Akagami said as he got to his feet as well.
"The name's Hitomi. And do mean that this person is almost as hot as me?" Hitomi said as she struck a sexy pose, causing Akagami to blush as well as get a nose-bleed, something that more than a few of the samurai got as well.
"It's a guy." Akagami said.
"Are you saying that I look like a man?!" Hitomi yelled as she was about to punch the red-head.
"What? No. It's just that your hair's the same color." Akagami said.
"Oh." The angry expression on Hitomi's face instantly dropped.
"Though you also have similar facial features." Akagami said, and not one second later did he find himself crashing into the ship's railing.
"One piece of advice for you, kid. Never tell a girl that she looks like someone else, especially a guy. It could save you from a lot of tough situations." Yatta said.
"Duly noted." Akagami said as he got back up on his feet before looking over at Hitomi "I'm Akagami, by the way."
"So, how should we do this? Will you come at me, one-by-one, or will you both take me on together?" Yatta asked.
"I hate to admit it, but I can't take him on by myself as I am now." Akagami said as he stepped up next to Hitomi.
"And I'm really not good at fighting in general." Hitomi said.
"You've got that ability to turn invisible, though." Akagami said.
"Yes, but that's everything I have, and this guy already knows about it." Hitomi said.
"Well, just follow my lead, then. I'm sure that we can find a way to pull through this." Akagami said as he got into a fighting stance.
"Very well." Hitomi said as she got into a fighting stance as well.
"Then, ikuzo!" Akagami said and the two of them charged at Yatta.
Sekai Senshi, Red vs. Zorro
'He's already going to use the Mangekyo?' Red thought.
"Now then." Zorro said before charging towards Red and as he appeared before him, he came to a complete halt and aimed his sword to pierce through the Pokémon Trainer's chest.
"Jin-Ryu: Shinzo-Zashi!" He then thrusted the sword forward at an unimaginable speed, but Red managed to jump into the air just in time.
"Water: Hydro Pump!" Red said before firing a pressurized stream of water from his mouth as he thought 'Electric: Thunder Wave!'
As the stream of water shot down towards Zorro, it was filled with electricity, making the attack twice as powerful. Zorro jumped back in time to avoid the attack, however, before jumping into the air and as he appeared before Red, he swung his sword horizontally at him.
"Jin-Ryu: Danto!" He said.
"Flying: Fly!" Red called out and a pair of ethereal wings came out of his back and instantly brought him to a higher altitude as Zorro landed beck on the deck.
"Jin-Ryu: Mikadzuki Hakei!" The Samurai Emperor called out as he swung his sword in the direction of Red, and a crescent-shaped wave of energy flew from the sword and headed straight for the Pokémon Trainer.
Red flew out of the way to dodge it, but then Zorro just swung his sword again, causing another wave of energy to shoot towards him which he also dodged. As Red then continued flying around, Zorro fired countless other waves of energy towards him, all of which he expertly dodged.
However, after a couple of minutes, the Pokémon Trainer came to a halt as he looked towards Zorro and held his right hand out with three of his thumb pointing up, his index finger pointing at Zorro, and his other three fingers being curled up. Zorro then smiled as he fired one last wave of energy.
"Psychic: Psybeam!" Red called out as a small rainbow-colored ball of energy engulfed his fingertip before a rainbow-colored beam shot out of the finger and went straight through Zorro's attack before heading for the samurai himself, but he barely managed to dodge it.
"That sure was a close one." Zorro said with a smirk before Red landed on the deck, his wings fading "I can see how you became the strongest Pokémon Trainer in the world."
"My own prowess had nothing to do with becoming the strongest Pokémon Trainer; that was all my Pokémon's doing." Red said.
"Of course. But to think that you're still able to fight me like this. I must say that I'm most impressed." Zorro said before adding "In fact, I haven't had this much fun since my battle with Whitebeard."
"Well, too bad for you that your fun's gonna end right here when I kill you." Red said.
"Heh. You think you can kill me? And just how are you planning on doing that?" Zorro asked.
"With one of my strongest attacks. One which has a 100% hit rate; you can't dodge it." Red said as he extended both of his arms with the palms out.
"Oh? And what is this attack?" Zorro asked.
"It's a Move from a Pokémon-Type which was first discovered here in the Elemental Nations." Red said.
"A Pokémon-Type that was discovered here?" Zorro asked.
"That's right. It's an Angel-Type Move. Now, prepare yourself; Angel: Halo Glow!" Red called out and a halo suddenly appeared over Zorro's head before a beam of light shot down from the sky at the speed of… well… light. Zorro didn't even get as much as a split second to dodge it, and therefore got hit as all that could be heard was his grunts of pain, it was a miracle that he wasn't screaming for the whole world to hear.
When the light eventually vanished along with the halo, Zorro collapsed down onto the deck, seemingly dead.
"Looks like it's over." Red said, but then his eyes widened when he saw Zorro's body suddenly vanishing. And when he heard some light clapping, he looked towards the source to see Zorro standing up at the bow of the ship.
"Bravo, bravo. That time you really did have me. Just too bad that I'm not planning on dying anytime soon." He said.
"Nani? How?" Red asked, obviously shocked.
"You're wondering how I survived? It's quite simple, actually. Ever heard of the Izanagi?" Zorro asked.
"Izanagi?" Red asked.
"Yes. It's a Sharingan ability that requires both Senju and Uchiha DNA to be used. And what it does is that it can switch out reality for a dream. For example; it switched out the reality of me dying with the dream of me surviving. However, this technique usually has a very bad side-effect; it steals away the light in one of the users eyes… usually." Zorro explained.
"What do you mean?" Red asked.
"What I'm using isn't the normal Izanagi, but an Izanagi that was created from my right Mangekyo Sharingan. You see, each pair of Mangekyo grants two powers that are unique to the user, one for each eye, and there are hardly ever two Mangekyo users with the same powers. However, as I took the Mangekyo from two people, I got four powers, two in my right eye, and two in my left." Zorro explained.
"So you're saying that the Izanagi is one of those abilities?" Red asked.
"Yes, though I prefer to call it the Immortal Izanagi due to the fact that I can use it as much as I want without having to worry about the consequences." Zorro said before closing his eyes.
"Raijin!" His left eye then snapped open and upon sensing something, Red jumped out of the way just in time to dodge an explosion of silvery lightning where he'd just been. (Kurama no Kyubi: Yes, the Japanese God of Lightning is literally named "Lightning God".)
'That was close!' The Pokémon Trainer thought before sensing something and he instantly leapt out of the way before Zorro could hit him with his sword. However, as he landed, the Samurai Emperor was already in his face again and was about to swing his sword.
"Psychic: Agility!" Red then quickly leaned backwards, avoiding the blade, but Zorro didn't give up and simply continued to swing his sword at speeds impossible for a normal human, though Red still managed to evade all of the strikes, though one upwards strike which nearly hit him, managed to cut through the zipper on his jacket, causing it to open.
'That was close. But it's weird, not even Zorro-san should be able to move at such speeds.' Red thought before noticing that Zorro's right eye was still closed 'Could it be that this is another Mangekyo ability? Well, in that case. X: Time Stop!'
X-Types had originally been discovered on Raftel about 70 years ago by the Legendary Pirate, Aifreed and were by far the most mysterious of all Pokémon. Even now, only a handful of X-Types had been discovered and there were Professors that believed that despite popular beliefs, the Pokémon God, Arceus, was also an X-Type. Not only were these the rarest of Pokémon-Types, but they even had a series of very unusual Moves, one of these were Time Stop; a Move which – despite its name – doesn't stop time, but rather slows it down considerably for a short period of time, allowing for the use of two more Moves before the opponent can attack again.
Zorro's movements suddenly slowed down to the point where he was attacking at normal speed again, and Red continued evading his attacks the same way as before.
"As I thought. You've got some kind of time manipulation ability as well." Red said.
"Heh. That's right. Raijin and this one; Tenjin are both the abilities of my left eye." Zorro said before jumping back and time resumed to normal for the both of them as he landed "And this one's my fourth ability." His right eye then snapped open "Goryo-Shin!"
All of a sudden, a chain similar to the Uzumaki Chakra Chains burst from his eye and headed straight for Red.
"Psychic: Reflect!" The Pokémon Trainer called out as he held his arms out in front of himself and a force-field appeared, deflecting the chain before it suddenly vanished.
"Impressive. You survived through all of my attacks." Zorro said, though Red didn't respond and after a short while the Samurai Emperor said "Course I still haven't used my trump card."
"Trump card?" Red asked.
"Heh heh. Remember when I said that each Mangekyo user had one ability for each eye? Well, there are a few cases in which some Uchiha have managed to unlock a third power, one in which requires both eyes to be used; the Susano'o!" Zorro explained.
"Susano'o?" Red asked.
"Yes. It's a special ability which is only granted to 1 out of 100 of Mangekyo users, even I didn't have it upon gaining the Sharingan. Of course, that was naturally because neither of those two brothers I killed had it. However, upon transplanting the brothers' second eyes into my eye sockets, something amazing happened. I awakened a new power and with it came the Uchiha technique which I had always wanted." Zorro said before closing his eyes as Red let out an audible gulp.
The samurai then reopened his eyes to reveal that his right eye now had a black background with a red four-pointed star in it with a black X going from the now white pupil in the middle of the iris and extending out to the iris' edges. His left eye on the other hand had the same look, only the colors were reversed and the pupil wasn't white, but rather red as it was a part of the X.
Then a green aura enshrouded the man before what appeared to be a green ethereal skeleton appeared around him. Red could then only watch as the skeleton grew muscles, blood-vessels, and even skin before it was finally encased in green samurai armor.
'So that's the Susano'o…' Red thought.
"Now then, do you want me to keep it like it is, or should I give it legs as well?" Zorro asked with a smug smirk on his face.
Gambling Patty
"Patty-taichou, where are you going?" One of Patty's pirates asked as the Yonko in question was now standing on the railing of her ship, ready to jump off.
"I'll leave to join the battle personally. So until I return… umm…" She said as she pointed at her crew before the finger settled on a random person "You'll be in charge." She then jumped off as everyone stared in shock at the one she'd put in charge, and judging fr5om the clothes, it was just a cabin boy, who also had a pretty shocked expression on his face.
As Patty landed on a plank on the water she instantly leapt ahead and landed on another one. Of course, not knowing the water-walking technique, this was the way she ran across the water. Good thing there were planks lying all over the place.
As she jumped from plank to plank, she pulled out a pair of pistols and fired at every samurai that came her way, not a single one of her bullets missing their targets.
However, after she had travelled a good distance away from her ship, she landed on a plank and looked at the battle around her. Then she suddenly sensed something and she leapt out of the way just as a crescent-shaped wave of flames shot past where she'd just been. She landed on a plank as said plank skidded through the water before coming to a stop and she then looked at her assailant to see that it was none other than Vice-Admiral Kira and in her right hand was a sword which seemed to be made out of fire.
"It's been a while, Patty." She said.
"Kira." Patty said.
Geoffrey
Geoffrey thrusted his lance towards a Battosai, but said Battosai simply just stepped out of the way of it before swinging his sword at the Royal Knight. However, Geoffrey then blocked it before pushing the samurai away.
Things had been going pretty well on his end as the samurai forces were diminishing, and if he were to be able to kill the guy he's currently fighting, then the enemies' morale was expected to drop at a rapid rate. He was only hoping that things were going just as well for Ike and the others.
All of a sudden, however, someone was sent flying up from the cabins at the back of the ship before crashing into the middle of the deck.
"Ike?" Geoffrey said in surprise as he recognized the man.
Then a crescent-shaped wave of blue energy came out of the cabins and headed straight for the now crouched Ike, who attempted to block it, but the wave seemed to be too powerful, however, instead of cutting through Ike's sword, it pushed the man backwards until he crashed into the railings.
"Ike!" Geoffrey exclaimed as all fighting on the deck had stopped due to what just happened.
Geoffrey then rode over to where the blue-haired man was and got off his horse to kneel by his friend, seeing if he was all right.
"Hey, Ike, are you all right?" He asked, and that's when he noticed all of the cuts and blood covering Ike's body.
"Y-yeah… I'm all right…" Ike said as he attempted to get back up on his feet, using his blade for support.
"I'm quite amazed that you were able to survive for so long." Everyone turned towards the voice to see Ryuma walk out from the cabins, holding a sword in his right hand. (Kurama no Kyubi: The same sword which his corpse gives Zoro in One Piece canon.)
"Ryuma-sama!" The Battosai that Geoffrey had just fought exclaimed.
"Are you the one that did this to Ike?" Geoffrey asked as he rose to his feet and was about to get back up on his horse, but Ike stopped him.
"Wait, don't. This guy is in a whole other league. He took out all of the others like they were nothing." Ike said just before he finally managed to get back up on his feet, though it was obvious to everyone that he was just barely able to stand.
"Now, let's finish what we started." Ryuma said before charging at Ike and Geoffrey, however, then someone came down in front of him and swung an anchor at him, and anchor which he blocked with his sword.
The two then separated and leapt backwards to create some distance between each other.
"Long time, no see, Ryuma." The new arrival, Seifer said.
"Seifer-san." Ryuma simply said.
Mira vs. Kine'mon
Kine'mon swung his sword at the Vice-Admiral as it erupted into flames, but Mira simply dodged it by turning the part of her body which would otherwise be hit into water before her cheeks puffed up and she spat a huge volume of water at the Battosai.
'Agh! You sneaky little…!' Kine'mon said as he held his arms in front of his face before noticing that Mira was now gone 'Huh? Where'd she go?'
The girl then appeared behind him and was about to punch him in the back of his head, but he noticed it in time and leapt away from her.
It was just the two of them there right now as Mira had told the others to leave as she was pretty confident that she could handle this on her own. However, then the ship suddenly started shaking and the two combatants both looked around in confusion.
"Hey, what's going on here?" Kine'mon asked.
"How am I supposed to know? Maybe the ship got caught in a whirlpool or something? Which would be totally awesome as then I could just leave and watch you along with your ship go under the ocean." Mira said in a cheerful tone.
"Impossible. This ship is too big for the majority of those whirlpools." Kine'mon said.
Just then, however, a column of water shot out of the ocean next to the ship, arched over them and went down into the water on the other side of the ship. But as Mira looked up, she saw something move within the water before the column went back down into the ocean.
"What was that…?" Kine'mon asked as Mira then looked towards the rest of the battle to see similar things happening all over the place.
A cyclone of water suddenly came up from under a samurai Warship and carried it for a few seconds before throwing it onto another Warship. Then two more water cyclones appeared from under one Warship each before they crashed the Warships into each other.
An arch of water then appeared from beneath a Dreadnaught and as the arch rose into the air, it cut straight through the enormous vessel without any resistance.
Takeda and mysterious person
Takeda and the one accompanying him were standing on the water surface as they looked out over the battle.
"What's going on here?" Takeda asked as he saw a cyclone of water go up into the air before crashing down onto a samurai Warship.
"In this age, there isn't a single person capable of creating something using their own chakra and have it last for more than a couple of decades after their deaths." The blue-eyed man said.
"What do you mean?" Takeda asked.
"There is no way that the whirlpools created by the Nidaime Uzukage's Jutsu could still exist." The blue-eyed man said.
"Then are you saying that the whirlpools that are here today aren't the same ones?" Takeda asked.
"No. They're the same all right." The blue-eyed man said as Takeda looked at him confused before he continued "It is said that since ancient times, a Goddess of Water has lived under the Land of Whirlpools, protecting it. What we're seeing here is only a small example of her power."
"Finally found you." The two then turned around to see Hitokiri Battosai standing there.
"You're…" Takeda said before the blue-eyed man stepped forward.
"Takeda-san, you continue onwards. I'll take care of this." He said as he drew his sword.
"You sure?" Takeda asked.
"Yes." The blue-eyed man said and Takeda then ran off.
"So you're gonna face this one alone?" The Battosai asked as he drew his own blade which was reversed with the dull side where the sharp should be.
"I'm I think we both know that Takeda-san would've only been in the way, right, Hitokiri Battosai? Or would you rather I call you Kenshin?" The blue-eyed man said.
"So you know of this one? Then mind if you tell this one your name?" Kenshin asked.
"Not at all. It's Bakuto, Bakuto Masaki." The man, now identified as Bakuto said.
As Takeda ran off he looked over his shoulders before his eyes widened at what he saw as he came to a halt and turned around. The two swordsmen were engulfed by large auras, Bakuto was in the aura of a huge black dragon, and Kenshin in the aura of a huge red one.
"Now, then. Shall we get started?" Bakuto asked as he pointed his sword towards Kenshin.

Character information
Name: Jyogo Jugo.
Age: 16
Affiliation: Otogakure (former), Uzushiogakure.
Affinity: Nature Energy.
Likes: Talking to animals.
Dislikes: His other self.
Info: Ever since he can remember, Jugo's been alone, haunted by his curse of suddenly transforming into a demonic creature hell-bent on death and destruction. Because of this, he stayed away from society and lived inside caves so that he'd kill as few people and animals as possible. He also found that he had the unique ability to talk to animals. One day, however, he was approached by a boy named Kimimaru who – upon defeating him – brought him to Orochimaru, promising him that he'd be safe there and wouldn't be able to kill anyone. When Kimimaru eventually died though, he became depressed and his rampages became more frequent, well, that is until Naruto came and brought him to Uzushio where he found that he was able to contain his violent killing urges much more easily.
Kurama no Kyubi: And that's the end of that chapter. Also, some of you might have noticed already, but Bakuto Masaki has the same name as one of the reviewers and the reason for that is that it was that reviewer that requested him through a PM, so just so you know, Bakuto is not mine. Also, I noticed that last chapter I forgot to add the "info" part on the information of Karin, but I've added it now so if you want to go back and read it, you can do that right now.
