Naruto: Shinobi Hunters

Digi-Destined saga

Battle of Uzushio arc

Kurama no Kyubi: I know some of you have been waiting for this, when we'll finally get to see Kenshin fight as well as when we'll see what kind of powers Bakuto has.

Bakuto Masaki: This was another great chapter. Really liked the battle between Red and Zorro. And now is going to be an even greater fight!

Kurama no Kyubi: I don't really know if I'd say it was a greater fight, but it is gonna be epic.

Rales Mckoy: Nice chapter, I didn't expect Red to have eaten a devil fruit, but I have to say its a pretty awesome fight, I also like the two added types. And Laxus joining the fight is interesting. And now my favorite swordman is gonna battle, this is way better. I'm looking forward to the next.

Kurama no Kyubi: Well, Laxus was really in the fight since the beginning. And I've got more new Pokémon Types than Angel and X on the way, so look forward to them.

Batthan the Dark Knight: Just for a suggestion, maybe you can do omakes on each chapters.

Kurama no Kyubi: I tried, but I just couldn't come up with anything, sorry.

Element-OverLord: O_o You Just Made Zorro Overpowered As Hell! But Counting What Happened With Madara In Canon, That's...OK I Guess. Anyway, What Pokemon Will Naruto Have? I Hope It's A Riolu.

GOOD LUCK!

Kurama no Kyubi: Now that you mention it, I suppose a Riolu would fit him, but it won't be his starter if that's what you were wondering.

EliteSlayer103: Nothing wrong with it just understandable confusion.

Kurama no Kyubi: Yeah, I suppose it would be confusing. Hmm… Maybe I should put up a warning in the summary… There, done.

Guest: all I can say about this all out war of yours is this it has turned into one big party in which more and more people show up interms of you involving mortals, gods, demons and pirate what's next alien invaders overall welcome to the freak show.

Kurama no Kyubi: Don't worry, aliens are something I'll keep out of the story, unless you'd call Digimon or the moon people from One Piece aliens. Also, there aren't any demons here, and the only "God" would that Water Goddess who's protecting the island.

Kurama no Kyubi: Hey, what's that supposed to mean?!

Chapter 23: CLASH! Black Dragon vs. Red Dragon!

In just a couple of minutes, the already pretty chaotic battlefield had become even more chaotic as the ocean itself had turned on the samurai. A cyclone of water came out of the ocean before twisting and extending to go straight through a samurai Warship before coming out on the other side and it went through two more. Then the parts of the water which was within the Warships suddenly exploded outwards, destroying the ships.

Elsewhere in the battle, the ocean suddenly opened itself up, causing hundreds of ships to fall down before the walls of water crashed into each other, destroying every ship and killing every samurai that had fallen down.

While this was going on, two people were standing on the ocean surface, facing each other and blocking out everything that was happening around them.

"Hitokiri Battosai. Or would you rather I call you "Himura Kenshin"?" Bakuto asked as he pointed at Kenshin with his sword.

"I see you know about this one." Kenshin said.

"Of course I have. There isn't a single swordsman alive that hasn't heard of you." Bakuto said as he closed his eyes "The Battosai who vowed to never kill again by using a Sakabato, a reversed blade." He then started to slowly open his eyes "How are you supposed to protect those close to you when you carry a sword which doesn't cut?" Kenshin's eyes then widened as Bakuto's eyes opened fully to reveal a Sharingan "The name's Bakuto, by the way. Bakuto Masaki."

Laxus vs. Anna

"Thunder Bullets!" Laxus called out as lightning appeared around his hands before countless balls of electricity shot out of his palms and headed straight for Anna, who expertly dodged the vast majority of them before one of the balls managed to grace her side, and due to her flinching for a second, she got hit full-force by another one which sent her into the railing of the ship.

Laxus then charged at her as his right hand clenched into a fist and said fist was engulfed in a ball of electricity as he aimed a punch at the woman. But she managed to jump over him just in time before landing on his back for a second and kicking off, causing him to stumble towards the railing as she landed on the deck.

As Laxus then turned around, his face got quickly acquainted with the dull side of Anna's sword before his body was then engulfed in lightning and he shot into the air and came back down behind the samurai as he shot towards her at the speed of lightning.

"Kuso…!" Anna muttered as she looked over her shoulder before she jumped out of the way, however, as Laxus past her, he managed to deliver a punch to the right side of her abdomen.

The female Battosai was sent a few meters away, but she managed to regain her balance in mid-air before landing back on the deck, holding up the wakizashi in her left hand in a defensive position.

'He's strong. Far stronger than the ones I fought earlier. But even so, he's got to have a weakness. Everyone does.' She thought before attempting to cook up a strategy 'Now let's see; he's a Lightning Mage, so he obviously only use lightning-based attacks, which would be very effective if he managed to knock me off the ship. Now the weakness to lightning would more or less be anything that doesn't transfer electricity, like rubber for example. Unfortunately I don't have any rubber with me. However, sometimes it's better to fight fire with fire – or in this case – lightning.'

Then – to Laxus' surprise – she sheathed her katana as well as her wakizashi.

"Giving up?" Laxus asked.

"No. In fact, this battle's still far from over." Anna said before drawing a sword she had hidden within her kimono. Laxus raised an eye-brow at it as the blade didn't really look sharp enough to cut anything, though it also had a rather peculiar design, being shaped like a lightning bolt.

"This here's a Levin Sword, a blade that can control lightning." Anna said as she pointed the sword at Laxus.

"Heh. Well, just too bad that lightning doesn't work against me." Laxus said confidently.

"Let's just see about that." Anna said as she brought the sword into a reverse grip before she charged at the Mage.

Mira vs. Kine'mon

"Suiryuken!" Mira called out as she attempted to punch Kine'mon, her arm looking like a Chinese dragon made out of water.

Kine'mon just barely managed to dodge it by leaping to the side before his blade was engulfed in flames and he swung it towards the Vice Admiral. However, the sword simply past right through her and she then turned towards the samurai as her left arm turned into the shape of a Chinese dragon and this time she connected the punch.

Kine'mon skidded backwards across the deck before coming to a halt as he swung his sword, causing it to erupt into flames and he charged forward towards Mira again. As he swung his sword at her, she jumped backwards before slamming her right palm into the deck as she landed.

"Suien!" An explosion of water suddenly erupted from beneath Kine'mon's feet, causing his entire body to be engulfed by it. However, as the water fell back down, Kine'mon was nowhere to be seen. Sensing something, Mira looked over her shoulder only to see Kine'mon standing there, ready to draw his now sheathed sword.

"Enka Battojutsu!" He called out as he drew the blade and it erupted into flames just as he hit Mira and the sword went right through her, this time however, the flames appeared to be so strong that they caused much of the water that made up Mira's body to evaporate, which was evident by the fact that the Uzumaki took longer to reform before leaping out of the way of a follow-up thrust which had the fires dancing around the blade.

"You're… stronger than most Battosai." Mira said while lightly panting before smiling brightly as she added "This'll be more fun than I thought!"

"I must commend you too. I never imagined that a woman could be such a worthy adversary." Kine'mon said.

"Well, too bad for you that this is about to end." Mira said, her smile never leaving her face as her eyes were closed.

Then suddenly, her eyes snapped open to reveal that each of her pupils had formed into the shape of a Manji, and her body was covered in black markings as her hair became darker with the closer it was to the back of her head, the darker it was.

"Say hello to my Water God Slayer Mode." Mira said.

""Water God Slayer"?" Kine'mon asked.

"That's right. You see, I was born with an incurable illness that should have killed me just a few months afterwards. But in hopes to save my life, my parents brought me to the Alter of the Water Goddess said to be protecting our island, and prayed for her to cure me of my decease. Then, they put me down into the water at the Alter and my red hair suddenly turned blue, and my illness was cured. Ever since then, I've had an unusually strong affinity for water, even stronger than Kiri's Hozuki clan." Mira said.

"So you were given Water God Slayer magic from this Goddess?" Kine'mon asked.

"Yup!" Mira stated.

Bakuto vs. Kenshin

"This will be this one's final battle before Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryu is lost forever." Kenshin said as he held up his sword.

"Is that so?" Bakuto asked before saying "Then come at me."

Kenshin then charged at the raven-head and swung his sword, only for it to be blocked by Bakuto, who then slided his sword along Kenshin's. However, as he then slashed the sword in an upwards strike, the red-haired Battosai leapt back to avoid it before jumping into the air.

"Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryu: Ryutsuisen!" Kenshin called out as he swung his sword downwards towards Bakuto's shoulder, but the raven-head simply jumped back to avoid it before swinging his own sword at the red-head.

Kenshin – who was still in the air – couldn't dodge it, so instead he blocked it with his Sakabato, causing him to be sent flying a couple of meters before he landed on his feet on the water surface.

Bakuto then charged at him as he thrusted his sword forward, but Kenshin then side-stepped out of the way as he moved in a full circle, aiming to hit Bakuto's back.

"Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryu: Ryukansen!" However, just before his sword could make contact, Bakuto jumped into the air, doing a back-flip over Kenshin and landing on the water behind the Battosai before swinging his sword.

Reacting quickly, Kenshin leapt away and turned around in mid-air before landing on the water, however, as he looked towards Bakuto, he saw that while the teen's sword had missed its intended target, it had still managed to cut his hair as said hair fell down to the water in-between them.

'That was close.' Kenshin thought as he noted that his hair was now shoulder-length. Upon closer inspection of the hairs that had been cut, the Battosai also noted that it was a clean cut, indicating how sharp Bakuto's sword was as Kenshin then looked towards said sword.

"You like it? This is the Kusanagi no Tsurugi… the real Kusanagi." Bakuto said.

'The Kusanagi, a sword which can cut through anything against this one's Sakabato which cuts through nothing.' Kenshin thought before charging at Bakuto again.

Takeda

Takeda ran across the water, cutting down any samurai that got in his way as he headed towards the island. Just then however, he skidded to a halt as a familiar Battosai stepped up in front of him.

"You." He said as he looked at none other than Jodai.

"I must say that I'm quite surprised you managed to escape, not once, but twice. Maybe we should reinforce the cell bars once we get back." Jodai said.

"Yes, you can go and do that. In the meantime, I'll go and ensure Uzushio's victory in this battle." Takeda said.

"You really think you've got a chance of winning? Ha! That's a good one. Or did you forget that we've got both Zorro-sama and four of the Samurai Generals here, including Ryuma-sama?" Jodai asked.

"So? Last time I checked, your armada got demolished by the ocean itself." Takeda said with smirk, causing a tick mark to appear on Jodai's forehead.

"Grrr. You just don't understand the trouble you're in, boy. You see, amongst the Battosai…" Jodai started.

Mira vs. Kine'mon

Kine'mon swung his sword at Mira several times before thrusting it forward, the sword being coated in flames. Mira, however, dodged it by jumping into the air and then landed on her feet behind the Battosai.

"Suijin no Uzu!" Mira called out as she reached out her arms with her hands open with the wrists against each other. Then the arms suddenly started spinning as they turned into black water, looking like a tornado made out of water. The water then shot forward, sending Kine'mon flying along the deck before he flipped around and managed to regain his footing as he skidded to a halt.

He then looked up at Mira from a crouched position as the black water splattered around him.

Takeda vs. Jodai

"… there are four with the strength to even rival the Samurai Generals." Jodai said, continuing his earlier sentence as he drew his sword.

Laxus vs. Anna

"Lightning Eruption!" Laxus called out and a glowing yellow glyph appeared on the deck under Anna, but she managed to jump out of the way just before a massive explosion of lightning shot up out of the glyph.

She then charged towards Laxus and swung her sword as said sword was covered in lightning and as she approached the Dragon Slayer, she swung the sword.

"Heh. My body absorbs all kinds of lightning-based moves, there's no way a sword like that could harm me." Laxus said, but just then Anna's sword cut into his flesh, forcing him to jump back as he clutched his side where the sword had hit "Na-nani?"

"By strengthening the lightning through Armament Haki, it can kill even a Lightning God Slayer." Anna explained before pointing the lightning covered blade at Laxus "Now then, your move."

Takeda vs. Jodai

"We are called…" Jodai continued as he assumed a fighting stance.

Bakuto vs. Kenshin

Kenshin swung his sword at Bakuto, but the raven-head jumped over it and flipped around in mid-air while swinging his sword at the Battosai, only for it to be blocked by said Battosai's sword.

Bakuto then used his sword to push down on Kenshin's, causing him to jump away as he did a back-flip in mid-air before landing back on the water surface. Bakuto then jumped back to create some distance as he held his sword as if to slash it at Kenshin.

"Burakku Doragon'nokiba: Rippingushokuu~bu!" He then swung his sword, causing a dark, razor sharp wave of wind chakra to be sent at Kenshin.

Takeda vs. Jodai

"… the YonDaiBatto!" Jodai finished as he charged at Takeda before bringing his sword up over his head and swinging it downwards. Takeda blocked it with his own sword however, and then kicked Jodai in the stomach, sending the Battosai skidding a few inches backwards.

"Burger Spin!" Takeda called out as he spun around while holding out his sword. (Kurama no Kyubi: Note that the majority of Takeda's moves are named after food.)

Jodai managed to block it, but Takeda continued to spin around, bringing his sword towards Jodai again, even faster than before. The Battosai attempted to block it this time as well, but it broke straight through his guard, forcing him to throw his arm into the air as Takeda came around for a third time, this time putting his left palm at the back of the blade for added force.

The blade made contact and thanks to the extra force and power from Takeda's gauntlet, Jodai was sent flying through the air before he managed to right himself and landed on the water.

'The hell? That attack wasn't nearly that powerful back at Shikei Toride!' The Battosai thought in surprise.

As Jodai looked towards Takeda, his eyes widened as the former Admiral suddenly appeared in his face, preparing for a thrust.

"Watermelon Gatling!" He then thrusted his sword forward before instantly pulling it back and he thrusted it forward again. He continued thrusting and pulling back the sword like this at unimaginable speeds, almost too fast for the human eye to see.

After several seconds Jodai leapt back and landed on the water as several steel black spots that had appeared on his body shrunk before vanishing.

'How could he have gotten that much stronger in such a short period of time? If I hadn't used Armament Haki to block those attacks, I'd be dead right now!' Jodai thought.

"This battle is over, Jodai. There's no way that you can win." Takeda said before clutching his gauntlet-covered left hand while saying "Not with this new power-up of mine."

"You want me to surrender? Me? I am Jodai the Young, right-hand man of the Samurai Emperor, and Commander of the Shikei Toride Guard!" Jodai said.

"So you want to die? Very well, then. I shall grant you your wish." Takeda said as he assumed a fighting stance, however, he raised an eyebrow when he noticed Jodai's smirk.

"You know why they call me "Jodai the Young"?" Jodai asked, putting extra emphasis on the word "young".

"Because you're like 30, 40 or something, but looks like you're in your 20s?" Takeda guessed.

"You're wrong, I'm actually 83. But that's not the point here. The point is that the reason of my nickname is because I ate of the Devil Fruits, the Youth-Youth Fruit, to be exact." Jodai explained. (Kurama no Kyubi: That's a fruit which Guy or Lee probably would've liked to have.)

"And what's that got to do with anything?" Takeda asked.

"Don't you see? With this fruit, I can control my physical age, but that's not all. My power also depends on what age I'm at, with the closer to my actual age I am, the stronger I am." Jodai said as he put his left hand over his face before removing said hand, revealing a much older face. He had also gotten white stripes in his hair, and his hair-line was now receding, and he also had a greyish beard similar to the Sandaime Hokage's "This is me when in my 50s."

Bakuto vs. Kenshin

Kenshin was sent flying backwards before he regained his balance in mid-air and landed in a crouched position on the water. He had luckily managed to block Bakuto's attack as it was too fast to dodge, however, it had still managed to send him flying through the air.

Bakuto then suddenly appeared in his face and swung his sword, but Kenshin blocked it with his own before swinging his sword upwards so hard that Bakuto lost the grip on his blade, causing it to be sent high into the air.

As Kenshin was about to swing his sword at Bakuto again, the raven-head jumped into the air and grabbed his sword before coming back down again while pointing the sword downwards. Seeing that the teen was coming down towards him, Kenshin quickly moved out of the way just before Bakuto hit the water.

"Burakku Doragon'nokiba: Abareru Arashi!" Black lightning then suddenly coursed through his blade before hitting the water, causing the lightning to be channeled through the water and electrocuting everyone that were nearby. There were also various bolts of black lightning which came out of the water and went out in several direction, one of these headed straight towards Kenshin.

The Battosai then quickly leapt out of the way faster than the normal eye would be able to see, however, when he landed again, he got struck by the electrical shocks coursing through the water. Looking at his opponent, Kenshin could also see that he wasn't the only one either as Bakuto seemed to have been shocked by the black lightning as well.

The raven-head then pulled his sword out of the water, causing all of the lightning to slowly fade away before he then looked at Kenshin with a smirk.

"So you were able to dodge that, huh? Well, it won't be so easy to dodge my next attack." He said.

Kenshin didn't say anything, instead he simply held his sword in front of himself with both hands as he had the tip pointing towards Bakuto.

"Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryu: Kuzuryusen!" He simply called out.

Mira vs. Kine'mon

"Suijin no Dogo!" Mira called out as she spat gallons of black water out of her mouth at such force that it sent Kine'mon flying into the ship's railing.

"Ugh, what power…" The samurai said as he rose to his feet before looking at the woman he was fighting.

"Wow. You're the first person to have ever survived that attack." Mira said.

"I am "Fox-Fire" Kine'mon, it will take more than an attack like that to stop me." Kine'mon said.

"Of course it will." Mira said before adding "And that's why you should watch your back."

Kine'mon's eyes then widened as Mira's body dispersed into water before falling to the deck.

"Na-nani? A Mizu Bunshin?" Kine'mon said before looking over his shoulder as if on instinct to see a large black wave coming at him.

"Suijin no Tsunami!" Mira called out as her liquefied upper body could be seen coming out from the middle of the tsunami's wall.

'Ah! When did she…?' Kine'mon thought before recalling the woman's earlier attack 'She must've created the clone when using that attack while making her real body part of the attack in order to get past me!'

The tsunami then came crashing down into the ship, causing a lot of damages to its port side as well as destroying the cabins. As the water passed over the ship before running down its sides to return to the ocean and Mira reformed fully on the middle of the deck before looking around, but Kine'mon couldn't be seen anywhere. Then she noticed a hole in the deck.

'So he escaped below deck to avoid the full force of the attack, eh?' She thought.

And Kine'mon had indeed fled below deck as he was standing in crouched position on a wooden pole which came out of the wall of one side of the room and went into the wall on the other side. And as he looked up towards the hole he had fled down through, he panted heavily, indicating that he was growing weary from the battle.

'That was a close one, a little slower and I would've been a goner.' He thought before looking down at his left arm which was hanging limply 'And I've lost all my feelings in my left arm too. Despite how she acts, that woman's not fooling around.'

"Oh, there you are!" A familiar voice said from behind him, and he quickly turned around to see Mira standing there, smiling at him with a grin that threatened to split her face.

Before Kine'mon could react, he was sent straight through the wooden pole and crashed through a table and into the floor of the deck they were now on with bone-crushing force. Mira then jumped down and landed on another table, the room appearing to be some kind of cafeteria.

"Now, it's time for you to die." Mira said as Kine'mon managed to crawl back up on his feet.

"I don't think so. I've got a son at home that needs me to guide him, so I can't die here." The samurai said, but then suddenly Mira looked on him with a look more befitting of a demon as a black trident made of water suddenly appeared in her right hand.

"Suijin no Ougi:…" She started.

'Looks like I've got to use the Kasai Kitsune Surasshu again. Buy I've already used it once, and using it twice on the same day can be fatal if I'm not careful.' Kine'mon thought before sheathing his sword.

"Nanatsu Umi no Toraidento!" Mira called out before charging at Kine'mon.

"Battojutsu: Kasai Kitsune Surasshu!" Kine'mon called out as he also charged forward while drawing his blade, and as he had it fully drawn out, a large crescent-shaped wave of fire came out of the sword and headed for Mira, though, due to the heat and the friction, Kine'mon also caught fire.

Bakuto vs. Kenshin

Kenshin swung his sword at Bakuto, trying to hit him with a Battojutsu move, but the raven-head managed to dodge it by jumping over the Battosai before flipping around in mid-air and landed on the water behind him.

"Burakku Doragon'nokiba:…" Bakuto started as Kenshin looked over his shoulder "Jigoku no Yona Dengeki!"

The Kusanagi was then heated up with fire chakra as Bakuto slashed it at Kenshin several times, but the Battosai managed to turn around just in time to block them before he jumped backwards to build some distance between himself and his opponent.

'He's good. Even this one's Kuzuryusen didn't work against him.' The Battosai thought before closing his eyes 'In that case, I've got no choice but to use that technique.' His eyes then snapped open as he sheathed his blade.

'I can sense that he's about to use an extremely powerful technique. Hmph. Then it seems I've got no choice but to use my own ultimate sword technique.' Bakuto thought before he too sheathed his sword.

'Gomen, Megumi-dono.' Kenshin thought as he held his hand around his sword's handle, but just then, Bakuto vanished in a blur of speed before reappearing beneath him, about to draw his blade.

"Burakku Doragon'nokiba:…" He then started drawing the sword.

"Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryu:…" Kenshin started drawing his blade.

"Ryu no Kami no Saishu-Tekina Hanketsu/Amakakeru Ryu no Hirameki!" They called out at the same time and just as the sword's made contact not a second later, both combatants were engulfed in a massive explosion of water due to the power that were behind the two attacks.

As the water started falling back down towards the ocean, Bakuto and Kenshin jumped out of opposite sides of it before landing on their knees on the water as they were both panting heavily.

'That was close. If he had managed to fully draw his sword, then this battle would be over.' Kenshin thought as he had noticed that Bakuto's attack would be impossible to dodge if he didn't stop it before the blade was drawn, so he had redirected his own attack at the last second to hit Bakuto's sword while it was still being drawn.

'Ryu no Kami no Saishu-Tekina Hanketsu; a super-fast sword technique in which I draw my sword at Shinsoku speeds before delivering a series of even faster slashes while using a Genjutsu to fool my opponent's senses. Himura Kenshin, to think that he was able to see through that technique and find the only opening – the split-second before the sword is fully drawn – and then exploit it. And without out even having witnessed the technique beforehand. He really is a formidable opponent.' Bakuto thought as he looked over at Kenshin before adding 'But, this technique is also a double-edged sword, for if it fails, then the user's strength gets cut in half.'

'After that, this one doesn't have any more power to fight. If he does another attack, then this one can't dodge it.' Kenshin thought.

'After that attack, I don't have much strength left in me. Looks like my only option is to pull back.' Bakuto thought before saying "Hey, Kenshin, how about we call it quits here? After that attack, I've got no more strength to fight and I can tell that it's the same with you."

"Yes, this one thinks that would be for the best." Kenshin said before slowly climbing up to his feet.

"It's too bad to. There were still some attacks that I wanted to try against you." Bakuto said before Kenshin's eyes widened as the teen's eyes suddenly started spinning and the three tomoe in each eye suddenly started merging together in the middle before suddenly extending out till the edge of the irises in the form of seven blade-like protrusions. (Kurama no Kyubi: For a better description, just look at Bakuto Masaki's profile picture among the reviews.)

Then the raven-head suddenly vanished into thin air without a trace.

Karin, Mist, Cana, Fu

Fu's eyes snapped open before she rose into a sitting position.

"Fu-san!" Mist exclaimed.

"Ugh. What… happened?" Fu asked.

"You don't remember? You tried to attack Zorro, but he knocked you out and Naruto-san brought you here." Mist said.

"Oh, right. Now I remember." Fu said as Mist looked down on the unconscious form of Karin in her hands.

"Karin-san managed to heal you, but she knocked herself out in the process." She said.

"I see…" Fu said before she rose to her feet and looked out over the battle.

"Just a short while ago, the ocean itself started attacking the samurai ships. Pretty crazy, huh?" Cana said, though Fu didn't respond.

'Naruto-kun…' She thought as she closed her eyes before they snapped open 'Next time I'll be the one to protect you, Naruto-kun. And after this battle I'll help you rebuild the Uzumaki clan, and I'll be there by your side, always, and help you with whatever your future goals may be!' Just then, however, she noticed that her sword started glowing and she drew it to see that it changed into a different shape.

The handle transformed to look like the Nanabi, with its tail being where she held and the rest of its body being on the opposite side of her hand from where the blade was. The blade itself didn't change shape, but the sharp side of it started glowing a green color. The tail part of the handle was also engulfed in a sphere of green bubbling chakra, similar to her chakra cloak.

As she looked down on the sword, she thought back to a conversation she had had with Gildarts just after she had drawn the sword from the rock that she'd found it in.

Flashback

"It kind of looks like Shanks-san's." She said as she looked at the sword.

"That's because he uses the same kind of sword." Gildarts said as he took a few steps towards the girl while she turned around "It is said that everyone in this world has a purpose in life, and these swords were forged to find that purpose in people, and it will only reveal its true shape once its wielder has found his or her purpose."

"Really?" Fu asked.

"Yes. But you should also note that the sword's true shape is also a reflection of your heart, and you might not like what you see. You should also beware that there are people who have been drawn insane upon seeing the sword's true form." Gildarts said and Fu looked down at the sword in her hand before looking back up at him.

"I don't care. If I can be of more help to Naruto-kun and the others with this sword, then it's a risk I'll have to take." She said, causing Gildarts to smile.

Flashback end

Fu looked down at the sword with a smile. To tell the truth, she didn't know if this was the sword's true shape or not, but she didn't care as she could sense great power emanating from it. She then looked back out over the battle.

"Hold on, Naruto-kun. I'm coming." She said before jumping off the ship.

Kazemon

Kazemon had split off from Leomon as he had headed towards the Dreadnaught while she was going for the Warships. But it proved to be a little harder than she had imagined as unlike most of the other samurai she had fought, these guys were actually using chakra to strengthen their attacks, indicating that they were from Mifune's fleet.

'Whoa, this guy's tough!' Kazemon thought as she was currently on the defensive from a samurai who was obviously a Battosai.

The Battosai swung his sword at her, but she ducked under it before going for a low-swipe with her right foot, trying to knock his legs from under him, but he simply jumped into the air before coming back down in an attempt to stab her. Kazemon then rolled out of the way before the Battosai landed on the deck and he then spun towards her and started swinging his sword at her.

'Ah! He's swinging it too fast, I can't dodge it!' She thought, but then the Battosai was suddenly met by a fist of lightning and was sent flying and Kazemon then looked up only for her eyes to widen at what – or rather, who – she saw "J… J.P?!"

Character information

Name: Fukashi Hitomi.

Age: 14

Affiliation: Hoshigakure (former), Akatsuki (former), Uzushiogakure.

Affinity: Invisibility.

Likes: Naruto-kun, Hoshi.

Dislikes: Naruto-kun's enemies, Hoshi's current leader.

Info: Having been born the daughter of a Pirate, Hitomi grew up being prejudiced against by the other villagers of her home village, the only one she could consider a friend being the Sandaime Hoshikage. As she grew up, she also discovered that she had the ability to turn invisible, an ability that quickly became her best friend as she could easily get around the village without being seen when using it, and it is also the ability that allowed her to witness the death of the Hoshikage without being found initially by the killer who then moved to become the new leader of the village before banishing her, having found out that she had witnessed the Sandaime's death. She later became a member of Akatsuki for a short period of time only to be thrown out of the group by her partner after losing to Naruto who she developed a huge crush on. She still wears her Akatsuki robe as a skirt though, however, the reason she does this is as of yet unknown.

Kurama no Kyubi: There's something I forgot to mention last chapter, I finally managed to get my hands on the PS3 version of Tales of Vesperia. And while writing this chapter I got my hands on J-Stars Victory VS, so to celebrate, I've got a few story previews for you guys.

Story preview

Naruto "This power… it's… incredible…"

Sasuke 'Naruto…'

Pain "Naruto-kun. You are the reincarnation of the Jubi, an ancient beast with destructive powers capable of destroying the world."…"We of the Akatsuki are here to guide and protect you until you can freely control this power."

Zetsu "It seems that the Jubi has been found, what should we do?"…"We have to capture it before it learns to control its powers."

Naruto "Follow the exciting story of Naruto: Jubi's Reincarnation! Coming soon, Dattebayo!"

Shukaku "Th-th-th-that's the… It's the Jubi!" (The Jubi looks down at him with a rather uninterested look in his eye)

Story preview

Sakura "I'm Haruno Sakura, daughter of the Daimyo of the destroyed Cherry Blossoms Region…!" (She suddenly finds the dull side of a sword at her throat)

Naruto (looks at her with an intimidating look in his eyes) "You should be careful about saying that in public, you never know who might be listening."

Sakura "My homeland was destroyed by the Shogun's army, I'll need someone strong to help me take revenge!"

Naruto "Sorry, not interested. Find someone else who wants to throw their life away."

Sakura "Fine!"..."You're just a big coward, anyway!" (Naruto looks at her over his shoulder as she walks off)

Zabuza "Well, if it isn't Haruno Sakura, Princess of the destroyed Cherry Blossoms Region."

Naruto "Follow the exciting story of Kyutoryu no Naruto! Coming soon!"

Zabuza "You-you're… Kyutoryu no Naruto…!"

Information: It's an Edo Period based Naruto story, as some of you might have already figured out. It takes place in the Elemental Nations, though there are a few made-up areas. And basically the story is that the Shogun who rules over the Elemental Nations is a tyrant, and so several Daimyos formed together to try and overthrow him, but they were mostly wiped out; one of these Daimyo were Sakura's father, the Daimyo of the Cherry Blossoms Region which Sakura was named after. After her home was destroyed and she was the only surviving member of her home's royal family, she starts seeking revenge, but she realizes that she can't do it alone, so she sets out to find a samurai strong enough to help her, and that's how she eventually runs into a blond teen named Naruto who wields nine swords.

Young Naruto "Whoa… A-a-a-a Dragon!"

Diamante "I am Diamante the powerful Diamond Dragon!"… "Naruto, it's a big world out there. One day, you should go out and see all the wondrous things there are. Maybe you could even join one of those Human Guilds."

Naruto "The Magic Guild, Fairy Tail…"

Makarov "Follow the exciting story of Fairy Tail no Jinchuriki! Coming Soon!"

Naruto "I am Uzumaki Naruto, a Fairy Tail Mage!"

Information: One day, Naruto gets beaten to an inch within his life and left outside of the village by an angry mob, but the blond's luck seems to have turned when he gets found by a Diamond Dragon named Diamante who decides to teach him Dragon Slayer Magic. Years late however, Diamante suddenly disappears and Naruto goes out on a journey before eventually finding himself in the town of Magnolia where he enters the Fairy Tail Guild.

Story preview

Pit "Do you hear that? Do you hear the people's cheers? They're celebrating the return of the Goddess, Palutena!"

Palutena "Humans? Fighting the Underworld Army? You've got to help them, Pit."

Sasuke "So this is Skyworld."

Naruto "What the…? We're on an island floating in the sky!"

Medusa "Hello there, Pit. It's been a while."

Hades "Follow the exciting story of Naruto Uprising! Coming soon!"

Ashura "Naruto, it's time for you to awaken the true power that lies within you."

Information: During the clash at the Final Valley, Naruto and Sasuke gets transported to the Planet, Earth, where they get caught up in an invasion from the Underworld. They later run into the Angel, Pit who's serving Palutena, the Goddess of Light, and after being impressed by their power, Palutena decides to bring them to Skyworld so that they can help out to take down the Underworld Army.

Hanks "Hey, matte. You're not seriously thinking of going to Mordio-san's place, are ya?"

Yuri "The Royal Quarter? Me? I wouldn't be caught dead going to a place like that. It gives me the creeps."

Naruto "Argh! Why'd they put me in here as well?!"

Estelle "Please, you've got to let me go! I have to warn Flynn!"

Karol "I'm Karol Capel. I'm a member of the Hunting Blades Guild. We travel the globe in search of the toughest monsters."

Rita "Nani? You're calling me a thief? Have you ever heard of "common sense"?"

Duke "Why…? Why must humans live the lives they do? They fight for a share in monopolized technology, and hurt even those closest to them…"

Naruto "Follow the exciting story of Naruto Vesperia! Coming soon!"

Patty "I don't know what's going on, but I'm going to help too."

Information: During the battle against Sasuke at the Final Valley, Naruto is suddenly drawn into the world of Terca Lumireis where he runs into Yuri Lowell and ends up getting sent to jail along with him, despite not having done anything, and the story of Tales of Vesperia pretty much goes on from there. And in case anyone's wondering, the pairing will be Naruto/Rita/Patty. Also, I'm wondering if I should give Naruto a dog or not, like how Yuri's got Repede. Though if I give him a dog, then it'll just be a small pup, and it'll have to be the same species as Repede of course.

Story preview

Ji-san "Heroes from many different worlds are gathering, unknowingly preparing to face the greatest evil to have ever existed."

Goku "Wow. There are so many strong guys around here. I'm getting excited!"

Naruto "I never go back on my word, that is my nindo. Dattebayo!"

Luffy "I'm Monkey D. Luffy, the man who's going to be the Pirate King."

Toriko "It's time to give thanks for all the food in this world. Itadakemasu!"

Goku "Follow the exciting story of J-Stars! Coming soon!"

E "Hm hm hm. Those fools. Thinking they can defeat me? They couldn't even squash a fly with those juvenile powers of theirs."

Information: People from many different worlds are brought together by a mysterious old man that they call "Ji-san", and are told of a great evil which they must defeat or else all of their worlds could be destroyed. They are then entered into a Guild (not a Fairy Tail reference) which has the sole purpose of fighting evil called "J-Stars". Unless anyone's figured out by now, this story is obviously based on J-Stars Victory VS, and you should also note that it will be a LONG time till I'll get to writing it as I need to know as much as I can about every character in the game, and that will take a long time.

Kurama no Kyubi: And that's that. Now, these aren't all of the fanfictions that I'm currently thinking on writing and I'm going to put up more story previews in a couple of chapters, and since all these stories have a fantasy theme to them, those will all have a sci-fi theme to them.
