Naruto: Shinobi Hunters

Digi-Destined saga

Dahngrest arc

Kurama no Kyubi: Here we have the next chapter of this story, so please enjoy.

Element-Overlord: Great Chapter! Now Things Are Getting Interesting! And How Many Arcs Will There Be On This Story? Or How Many Girls Will Naruto Get? And What Side Naruto Will Choose On The Possible War Between The Marine And The Youkai Pirates/Samurais?

GOOD LUCK!

Kurama no Kyubi: Neither. The war doesn't involve him. I can tell you though that he will play a role in a major battle of the war later down the road, but that's still a ways off.

Rales Mckoy: This is an interesting one, I''ve never played the tales series so I'm curious to see what happens next. Till then

Kurama no Kyubi: Dude, you're missing out. The Tales series is the best JRPG series I've ever played. I'd recommend trying it out.

Guest: please update soon and often and ps for Naruto's sword in this story you try using it as medium for Naruto and kurama to use soul resonance thus making it a demon weapon similar to chrona's.

Kurama no Kyubi: No need, really. You'll find out why later.

Guest: as for the metriod hybrid I would go with Naruto falling for hinata. as for you're digimon/naruto crossover well I might go with a harem for our favurite blonde protagonist which consists of Fu,hinata and gambling pirate captain patty.

Kurama no Kyubi: I was actually thinking of having Naruto get a harem in Metroid Hybrid. In this story, though, while he will have a harem (as I've stated before) Hinata won't be part of it as I'm not adding anyone from Konoha. Both Fu (obviously) and Patty will be part of it, though.

Guest: well for you're chakra eater story will Naruto be following maka, soul and company in soul eater and if so I would go with Naruto really throwing a monkey wrench into medusa and arcanne's plan in addition to asura's plans.

Kurama no Kyubi: Well, yes and no. He will be present in all the major occurrences like the Anniversary Celebration arc, the Battle for "Brew" arc, the Siege of Baba Yaga Castle arc, the Book of Eibon arc, and the Battle on the Moon arc, but everything else, he'll just hear about second-hand as he will have adventures of his own.

Guest: well whilst Naruto and company are land of tales of Vesperia I think it would be a good idea for him to learn some artes if only to give him and some his friends and extra edge against the foes they may have to face in the future you know.

Kurama no Kyubi: That's actually a pretty good idea. I can't believe I didn't think of it myself. Though, any Strike Artes he learns will be original.

Chapter 29: Crocodile, the Immortal Jinchuriki

"Crocodile?!" Naruto asked in surprise.

"You know this guy, Naruto?" Dorumon asked as he looked up at the blond.

"Yeah, he was the first Jinchuriki of the Ichibi, and the Shodai Kazekage of Suna. But that was 70 years ago, there's no way he should still be alive." Naruto said and Dorumon turned his head back to look at Crocodile, who was now clapping lightly, well, as well as one could with only one hand that is.

"Very good, Naruto-kun. I see you've done your homework." Crocodile said.

"Robin-san gave me a book about all the various Jinchuriki." Naruto said and Crocodile smiled.

"Good, that should make things easier." He said before saying "Now then, as you're probably aware of by now, Baroque Works is a Guild that deals with information, so if you have anything you'd like to know or find out about, just ask after we're done." He then asked "Now to start, do you know what the Poneglyphs are?"

"Yeah." Naruto said with a nod.

"Several of the Poneglyphs that Miss. All-Sunday has read speak of beings capable of destroying the world. "Seven beings with the power to destroy the world". I'm sure you know who I'm talking about; the Perfects." Crocodile said, peeking Naruto's interest "That's right. The strongest ever recorded Digimon to grace the face of our world. Seven creatures with the power of Gods. Just like Gelelmon who your friends fought."

"But all of the Perfects are sealed, aren't they?" Dorumon asked.

"Not all of them." Naruto said, causing Dorumon to look at him in surprise.

"That's right. The Black Dragon nowadays referred to as Acnologia is out there somewhere, though of course, it's not nearly at full power." Crocodile said.

"Cele Bi Bi Celebi?" Celebi said and Crocodile looked at her, obviously not knowing what she just said.

"She wants to know why you're telling us things that we already know." Naruto clarified.

"Ah, yes. I had hears about it in Miss. All-Sunday's reports; that you are able to understand Pokémon. The "Power to Hear Everything", it's a really rare ability that only a few has ever possessed." Crocodile said before turning to Robin "As for the question, why don't you tell them?" And the woman turned to look at Naruto.

"Around the world there are three Poneglyphs that are much smaller than the others. And unlike the others, these are written in the Ancient Ispanian language, the most common Human language that was in use during the Void Century." Robin said before adding "One of these Poneglyphs is known as the Uchiha Stone Tablet and it is located beneath the Nakano Shrine."

"The Uchiha Stone Tablet?" Naruto asked and Robin nodded.

"The Uchiha tablet beneath the Nakano Shrine had the names of all of the Perfects, or rather, what their names become when translated into our language." Robin said before Crocodile interjected, catching Naruto's attention.

"Mother Earth, Shape-Shifter of Death, Knight of the Underworld, Digimon Dragon God, Ruler of the Freezing Hot Hell, Universal Executioner, and End of Everything." He said.

"Naruto, do you know the Ancient Ispanian word for "Digimon Dragon God"?" Robin asked and Naruto shook his head before Robin answered for him "Acnologia." At that, Naruto's eyes widened before Robin added "It's a word that can also be translated into "Armageddon". And the Ancient Digi-Tongue word for it is "Acnolodramon"."

"Do you know the names of all of the Perfects?" Naruto asked.

"No. Only a few, I'm afraid." Robin said before adding "We couldn't translate all of the names, the only ones we could were; Hachimon (Shape-Shifter of Death), Gelelmon (Knight of the Underworld), Acnolodramon (Digimon Dragon God), and Hazardmon (Ruler of the Freezing Hot Hell)."

"Out of the four of them, only three have appeared in our world since the time 800 years ago; Acnolodramon, who was released 400 years ago has been roaming this world ever since under the guise of Acnologia. Gelelmon was first released from his prison within the countless Stones of Gelel 30 years ago when the leader of the X-Antibody Digimon Faction tapped into too much of their power to try and kill the Digi-Destined of the time, though he was soon after sealed by those same Digi-Destined, only to 30 years later be released in our world and this time got sealed within the Dark Area. And finally, Hachimon appeared during the time of the Third Great Shinobi War, causing chaos all around the world and even being the cause of death for many Digi-Destined of various generations, though he was ultimately sealed by the combined efforts of two Digi-Destined generations; Nico Robin's own and your father's with a little help from the Sannin." Crocodile explained.

"What about Hazardmon?" Naruto asked.

"He still hasn't appeared in our world. Though you should be thankful for that." Robin said.

"Why?" Naruto asked.

"In all the information we've been able to gather of him from the Poneglyphs, he has always been described as the largest of the Perfects, even towering over the highest clouds in the sky." Crocodile said, causing Naruto and Dorumon to gulp.

"This may just be wild exaggeration, of course. His actual size is probably around that of a Giant." Robin said.

"Either way, it's still scary that someone that powerful can be that huge." Dorumon said as he shivered, remembering how Gelelmon had easily flattened them, despite being as weak as he was (compared to his actual strength, of course).

"We do of course think that there may be another Perfect who's appeared in our world – or at least in the Digi-Quartz." Crocodile said.

"Oh? Who?" Naruto asked.

"We don't know which, but about a year ago, a generation of Digi-Destined led by the First Company Captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, Marco the Phoenix was annihilated while within the Digi-Quartz. Only one member and his partner survived. We believe that what killed the others was a Perfect, though for now there's no way to be certain." Crocodile said.

"If you're not certain what it was, why don't you ask the surviving member or his partner?" Dorumon asked.

"I'm afraid that would prove to be futile as neither one are quite sure what happened either. One moment, they were all enjoying their lunch after a hard day, and the next the other six Digi-Destined and their partners were dead." Robin said.

"Who was the member that survived?" Naruto asked.

"Uchiha Itachi." Crocodile answered and Naruto's eyes widened.

"Uchiha… Itachi?" Naruto asked, obviously surprised and finding it hard to believe "But… how? He's a member of the Akatsuki, so why…?"

"He's not the only one. Each generation has always had one who betrayed the others; Uchiha Madara, Orochimaru, and Uchiha Itachi are only a few examples. Even yours will likely have one that'll betray the rest of you." Crocodile said.

'Nani? One… who'll betray the rest of us? Who could it be? … Shikamaru wouldn't do it, Kuro-chan's way too nice, and Fu-chan would never even think of it. Could it be someone who's yet to be revealed as a Dig-Destined?' Naruto thought before shaking his head 'No, no, no. I refuse to believe that anyone would betray us, Digi-Destined or not!' He then turned to Robin and asked "Who was the traitor of your generation?"

"He hasn't been revealed yet. Though, we're running out of candidates as Obito, Rin, Shisui, and Hayate are all dead." Robin said.

"Wait, don't tell me that you're seriously suspecting it to be either Kakashi-sensei or Bushier Brows-sensei!" Naruto said.

"I have just as big a possibility of being the traitor, you know." Robin said with a neutral expression on her face.

"Well, anyway. If it was a Perfect that destroyed Itachi's generation, do you have any idea which it could be?" Naruto asked as he turned back towards Crocodile.

"No, we don't. But as we only deal in facts, I'm not gonna jump to any conclusions until we've got solid proof. I just thought it worth mentioning as a possibility." Crocodile said before changing the subject "On a separate note; are you aware of Kiri's Kekkei Genkai purges?" Naruto responded with a nod and Crocodile continued "Well, the man behind these purges, the Yondaime Mizukage, Yagura is actually not in control of himself."

"You're saying that someone's controlling him?" Naruto asked, and Crocodile nodded.

"Exactly. I sent Nico Robin there to check it out, and she reported to me that there was indeed someone controlling him behind the scenes, and this someone was a Digimon, an Ultimate-Level Digimon named Miyotismon." Crocodile said.

"But why would a Digimon be controlling the leader of Kiri?" Naruto asked.

"That we don't know. I'm afraid that I had to leave before I could dig into it any further." Robin said.

"Celebi Cele Bi Celebi!" Celebi said.

"Celebi's right. If he's being controlled by a Digimon then that's a matter for the Digi-Destined." Naruto said.

"Perhaps, but you're forgetting that Miyotismon is an Ultimate, so four Chunin-Level Digi-Destined with three Rookie Digimon and one who's not even hatched yet will not be nearly enough. Plus, like you, Yagura is also a Jinchuriki, but unlike you, he can fully control his Biju's immense power." Crocodile said, causing Naruto to gulp.

"I would suggest you wait before facing Yagura. First you should gather the rest of the Digi-Destined of your generation and then you would need to train together so that you would have excellent teamwork and you would need to get all of your partners at least to Champion-Level." Robin said.

"All right." Naruto said before turning to Crocodile "Is there anything else?"

"As a matter of fact, there is. You know the sword you've got, right? The Kyukiri no Kiba?" Crocodile asked and Naruto nodded "As I'm sure you heard from Zorro, it is only one of nine weapons, two of which that were once wielded by your predecessor, the Sandaime Uzukage, Uzumaki Uzumaru. The Nanabi Fairy-Wristbow Nanakiri no Kiba, and the Sanbi Shield-Saw, Sankiri no Kiba."

"Do you know where they are right now?" Naruto asked, but Crocodile shook his head.

"No. We tried to find them, but every trail we picked up ended up cold." He said.

"What about the other six?" Naruto asked.

"The Ichibi Sand-Spear (Ichikiri no Kiba) is a sacred weapon to Suna and is hidden away somewhere within that village. The Nibi Cat-Claws (Nikiri no Kiba) vanished during the Second Great Shinobi War in the Battle at World's End. The Yonbi Magma-Sword (Yonkiri no Kiba) fell into the Pits of Hell back during the Warring States Era. The Gobi Pegasus-Boot (Gokiri no Kiba) is in the hands of the Revolutionary Army. The Rokubi Grand-Blade (Rokukiri no Kiba) is in the hands of Vice-Admiral Uzumaki Uzuryu of the Marines. And finally, the location of the Hachibi Death-Scythe (Hachikiri no Kiba) is as of yet unknown." Crocodile said.

"Pits of Hell? How'd the Yonbi sword or whatever end up there?" Dorumon asked.

"The "Pits of Hell" is the name of the world's largest volcano. It's so large in fact, that you could fit the entire Land of Fire within it." Robin said.

"The one problem, though, is that it lies at the bottom of the ocean within the New World of the Grand Line." Crocodile said.

"So in other words; we can just forget about trying to get our hands on it, is that it?" Naruto asked.

"Pretty much." Crocodile said.

"Well, if that was everything, there's something I wanted to ask you." Naruto said.

"Oh, and what's that?" Crocodile asked and Naruto put his hand down in his pocket.

"If your specialty is information…" He then pulled out the Normal-Type orb "Do you know what this is?"

Crocodile then rose to his feet and walked over to Naruto before holding out his hand and the blond handed it to him so he could get a closer look at it.

"This… is one of the orbs containing Acnolodramon's power." Crocodile said as he studied it.

"Do you know where I can find the rest of those?" Naruto asked.

"Not all of them." Crocodile said as he gave the orb back to Naruto before walking back towards his chair and he continued as he sat down "But I do know the locations of some. There are three spread across the Regions controlled by the Pokémon League, though I'm afraid I can't be more specific than that. One is guarded by the Samurai of the Land of Iron. Two is guarded within the school, Death Weapon Meister Academy or DWMA for short under the watchful eye of Shinigami-sama, no wait, make that one, the other one was stolen by the Witch Medusa. One is guarded by the Magic Guild, Fairy Tail. One is buried deep underground beneath the Morlia Mineshaft. One is actually hidden in each of the Great Shinobi Nations as well as in the Land of Whirlpools. And there's a rumor amongst those who knows of the orbs that there's one on the island at the end of the Grand Line, Raftel."

"Now then, before you go, there's one last thing." Crocodile said.

"What is it?" Naruto asked.

"The last sentence that was written on the Uchiha Stone Tablet. "When the Whirling Tides have defeated the Great Sword of the World, a Noble Knight will appear in time to try and stop the Dragon King's Festival, but he'll inevitably fail, forcing the Chosen Generation to face the Ruler of the Freezing Hot Hell, setting the stage for the Greatest Battle of their time"." Crocodile said.

Baroque Casino

Naruto and Robin were walking through the casino as they were going to head back to the ship, Dorumon being back in the X-Loader, and Celebi in her Poké-ball.

Skit – Immortal Jinchuriki

Naruto, Robin, and Dorumon are present. (Kurama no Kyubi: Dorumon's obviously talking from the X-Loader)

Robin "So, what do you think, Naruto? Was he as "cool" as you had hoped?"

Naruto (deep in thought) "I don't know. I found him pretty hard to read, though."

Dorumon "What I wanna know is how he's still alive and looks so young."

Robin "I'm afraid I can't really answer either question. But he told me that he thought he had died after having the Ichibi extracted from him."

Naruto (looks at Robin) "So how'd he survive? I thought a Jinchuriki died once their Biju was extracted."

Robin "It might be because he's immortal."

Naruto/Dorumon "Immortal?"

Skit end

As they exited the casino, they were surprised to find Raven standing there, waiting for them.

"Hey, aren't you that old guy from earlier?" Naruto asked, causing Raven to frown before speaking up.

"Look, kiddo. The Don wants ta see ya, so better go ta the Union Headquarters." Raven said.

"The Don?" Naruto asked before adding "What does he want to see me for?"

"Heck if I know. But if ya don' go see him, I'm the one he'll yell at. So hurry up now, kid." Raven said as he waved Naruto away, though said blond just looked up at Robin.

"You should go. If the Don wants to see you, it's got to be important. Just keep in mind though that the Don is one of the ten strongest people in the world, so you better be on your best behavior." The raven-haired woman said and Naruto nodded before leaving.

"Man, first Mr. 0 wants ta see that kid, and now the Don. What's so special 'bout 'im, anyway?" Raven asked as he scratched the back of his head and Robin chuckled.

"Naruto's got a certain air about him that makes people want to believe in him. That boy, he's bound for great things." Robin said.

"Um, hey, Robin-san?" Naruto called out to her from a distance as he looked back at them before asking as he scratched the back of his head "Where is the Union Headquarters, anyway?" Causing both Robin and Raven to sweatdrop and the latter looked at the former.

"Ya sure he's really bound for great things?" He asked before shaking his head "Guess I'll have ta show 'im the way, then." He then walked over to Naruto before leading him to the Union Headquarters.

Plains outside Dahngrest

"Time to launch our attack upon Dahngrest. Soon, the Normal-Type orb will be as good as ours." Saina said as she looked at Dahngrest.

Union HQ

The Union Headquarters was a large building and seemingly the tallest in all of Dahngrest. Upon entering, they came into a big room which had a few other people in it. Aside from the entrance, there were also three other doors in the room, one in the middle of the wall to the left, one in the middle of the wall to the right and one on the other side of the room which had some stairs and a small cat-walk leading to it. The doors to the left and right also had one guard guarding them, each.

"Now, then. Ya'll find the Don just behind that door." Raven said as he pointed at the door with the stairs leading to it and Naruto nodded before walking towards it and entering it.

He entered into a large rectangular room which had a big chair on the other side. In said chair was a large man with long white hair and a white beard, two red lines going down from his hair-line, over his eyes and down to his beard. He wore an open black vest with platinum yellow straps and white sleeves. He also wore brown pants and red shoes.

Naruto also noticed that Patty was in the room and he took up a position next to her.

"So you're Naruto, eh?" The Don asked.

"I am." Naruto said.

"Coming in here, dressed like a Kage, ya sure have some guts, kid." The Don said.

"Do you have anything against the Kage?" Naruto asked.

"I'm not the only one. Most people in the world don't particularly like you Ninja, much less the Kage commanding ya. Well, of course, the same could be said for us Guilds, but at least we have honor." The Don said.

"What makes you think that Shinobi don't have honor?" Naruto asked.

"Kid, you're still too naïve. Ninja kill without dignity. They would strike an opponent in the back if they got the chance, or even kill their best friend if ordered ta do so." The Don said.

"Nani? Shinobi would never–!" Naruto started, but he was interrupted as the Don pulled out a sword from behind his chair as he rose to his feet and stabbed the sword into the floor, causing the entire room to shake "Wh-whoa…!" The two blonds then fell to the floor, Naruto on his face and Patty on her rear.

"Itai…" The girl said as Naruto got up on one knee while looking up at the Don as his eyes widened.

'This man… He's on a whole different level.' He thought as he saw the Don's Soul. It was a rather large blue Soul which had a pair of stripes going down the front of it.

"Ninja are no more than a bunch of fools that preach about peace, yet do nothing to bring it about. The closest they ever got was founding the Six – now Five – Great Shinobi Villages, but even then, peace has never even once been achieved. And do ya know why? It is because you Ninja are a group of people incapable of peace. You're just not able to settle yer differences." The Don said, causing Naruto to grit his teeth as he looked at the Don in anger.

'Naruto-kun…' Patty thought as she looked at the boy who then rose to his feet.

"And who are you to proclaim that Ninja can't settle their differences, huh?" The blond asked before pointing an accusing finger at the Don "Sure, we may not have had that much success in the past, but I will find a way to bring about peace." He then smiled as he finished "I swear it." And at that, the Don smiled.

"Heh. Nice choice of words, brat." The Don said as he lightly clapped.

"Huh?" Naruto looked at him confused.

"This was all a test to see if ya truly had the potential of uniting the Ninja world." The Don said.

"EH?" Naruto looked at him with a flabbergasted expression on his face before he looked at Patty and asked "Were you in on this as well?" Her smile was all the confirmation he needed.

"Now, then. Time to discuss the other reason I had ya called here." The Don said as he sat down, but just as he had sat down, an alarm suddenly went off.

"Huh? What's that?" Naruto asked as he looked around frantically as if trying to find the source of the sound.

"Monsters are trying ta attack the city again." The Don said as he rose to his feet and walked past Naruto and Patty towards the door "I must go and lead the Guilds in battle against them. We'll continue this later." He then walked through the door and closed it behind him as Patty turned to Naruto.

"Naruto-kun. Let's go help as well. Nanojiya!" She said.

"Right." Naruto said with a nod as the two of them ran for the door and through the entrance room before coming out into the town.

As soon as they came out into the city, Patty immediately noticed that something was wrong and she looked up at the sky to see that the barrier was gone.

"What happened to the Barrier?" She asked.

"Is that bad?" Naruto asked as he looked at her, and she looked over her shoulder at him.

"It is!" She then turned around to fully face him "If the Barrier's gone, then that means that there's nothing stopping the Monsters from entering the city! Nanojiya!" and Naruto nodded.

"Then let's hurry and help the others!" He said as he started running and Patty ran after him.

As they ran towards the entrance to the town where the Monsters were coming from, one of them – a large red stag-beetle-looking thing – came down and grabbed Patty as it flew back up again.

"AAAAAHHH! Naruto-kun!" She yelled.

"Patty-chan!" Naruto yelled after her before throwing a kunai at the beetle, killing it as Patty fell back down again and Naruto caught her so that he was holding her bridal-style.

"Nice catch. Nanojya." She said before her fellow blond let her down.

"Come on!" Naruto said and the two of them ran into the area where the inn and shop were that Naruto recognized as being where he first came into the town. His eyes widened, however, at all the Monsters attacking the place. Aside from the stag-beetles there were also some that looked like red lizards with blue feathers on their backs and tails. And there were also red giant crabs and some kind of boar-like creatures covered in grey and white fur.

Patty pulled out her pistol and dagger before running towards a mob of Monsters while Naruto pulled at a kunai himself as he ran towards one of the boars, though, they didn't really look that much like boars at all.

He jumped up on its head before sticking the kunai into it, killing the thing. He then jumped towards another one, but one of the crabs suddenly hit him with one of its claws, sending him into the wall of the shop before the crab was then blasted away by a fire ball and as Naruto looked towards where the fire ball came from, he noticed a group of four people and a dog. One of the four being a brown-haired girl who then started charging up for another Fire Ball spell.

"Dammit! It's just one after the other!" She said before firing the fire ball at one of the lizards.

As Naruto got back to his feet, he noticed some civilians running off just as a stag-beetle knocked a woman in the back down as it flew past while a crab was slowly advancing towards her. Naruto was then about to throw his kunai at it, but a man with black clothes and long black hair beat him to the punch as he swung his sword, sending a blue wave of energy at the crab, killing it. Both the man and Naruto then ran up before the woman as more Monsters were advancing towards her.

"Th-thank you so much." The woman said.

"Forget it! Run!" The man, Yuri said and the woman got up on her feet before running off.

"Hey, that was a pretty nice save you did there." Naruto said.

"This isn't the time for–!" Yuri started, but he cut himself off as he saw several other civilians being chased by various Monsters "Damn! I'm not gonna make it!"

He and Naruto then both ran towards the Monsters chasing the civilians, but just then, the Don came in and in one slash of his sword, cut through a whole group of Monsters.

"Come on ya filthy maggots, I'll take the lot of ya! Come see how it feels ta get beat down by an old man!" He said before running over towards the bridge where the majority of the Monsters were.

"That old guy is really going after them. Who the hell is he?" Yuri asked as he and Naruto stopped running in the middle of the square where the Don had just been as several Altosk Guild members ran past them.

"It's the Don." Naruto said.

"So that's him, huh?" Yuri said before looking down at the blond and asking "And who are you?"

"I'm Naruto. Uzumaki Namikaze Naruto." Naruto said.

"I'm Yuri. Yuri Lowell." Yuri said.

"Nice to meet you, Yuri." Naruto said.

"Likewise. But this isn't really the time for idle chatter." Yuri said and Naruto nodded.

"Hey, Yuri!" A brown-haired kid with a large bag said as he came running over.

"Oh, Captain Karol." Yuri said as he looked at the kid.

In the meantime, a pink-haired girl wearing white armor sat by some injured civilians outside the shop as she healed them with her Healing Artes while several Guild members ran by past them.

"It's the Don! The Don's here!" One of them yelled.

"Let's kick these Monster scum outta here! Defend the city!" Another Guild member yelled.

"Nobody messes with the Clouds of Dawn!" A third one yelled.

Then, a group of heavily armored soldiers ran past, being led by a blond man with blue armor, and the girl rose to her feet and turned around.

"Flynn!" She said in surprise.

"We've come to help subdue the Monsters." Flynn said as he came up behind a group of Guild members that had the Don at their head.

"Hold yer horses, Knight-boy." The Don said, causing Flynn and his men to stop in their tracks "We couldn't live with ourselves if we let Knights do our dirty work. Now get the hell outta here!"

"Is this really the time for that?" Flynn asked.

"Each and every one of these people left the World Government of their own free will and joined a Guild. There ain't a soul in this town so spineless they'd go runnin' ta you guys for help." The Don said.

"But–" Flynn started, only to be cut-off.

"These're the rules of the life we've chosen. It's up to us to make sure these rules don't get broken." The Don said.

"Holding your belief no matter what's at stake… So that's what's a real Guild is like." Yuri said as he stood a ways behind them along with Naruto and Karol.

"Hey, you there! Lead the way." A voice said behind them.

"I have a name, you know." Karol said as he and Naruto turned around "Wh-where are we going, anyway?" Naruto recognized the one who had spoken as the girl who had fired those fire balls earlier and standing next to her was the pink-haired girl.

"We're going to repair the Barrier Blastia. If we don't, the city will be overrun with Monsters." The pink-haired girl said and Karol ran off as she followed behind him. The brunette turned to follow them, but noticed that Yuri wasn't moving so walked up to him.

"You're coming, too." She said and Yuri looked at her over his shoulder.

"Guess that's my only option." He said before running off as the girl followed him, but they stopped as Naruto spoke up.

"Wait! I'll come with you!" He said.

"And you are…?" The girl asked as she and Yuri looked over their respective shoulders at the blond.

"I'm Uzumaki Namikaze Naruto." The blond said.

"Rita Mordio." The brunette said simply before turning back towards where Karol and the pink-haired girl had headed "Just make sure you can keep up." She and Yuri then ran off as Naruto followed them.

Skit – What's going on here?

Yuri, Naruto, Karol, and Rita are present.

Yuri "The Barrier failed right as the Monsters appeared? What the hell is going on in this city?"

Naruto "Yeah, that is weird" (looks at Karol) "You know what's going on?"

Karol "I've lived in Dahngrest my whole life, but I've never seen anything like this."

Rita "So why the hell do we have such terrible timing?"

Karol "How should I know?"

Yuri "What? You don't really think I'm cursed, do you?"

Naruto (freaks out) "What, really?" (sighs) "Good. I was starting to think that I was the one who's cursed."

Rita (looks at Yuri with a suspicious look) "No. It's definitely, Yuri."

Skit end

They then ran back into the main plaza before turning left and running down a street past a few buildings until they eventually got to a wall with some stairs going up alongside it. Naruto also noticed that there was a weird-looking device on the wall. As they reached the bottom of the stairs, they found a man lying on the ground and the pinkette – who Naruto had learned was named Estelle – kneeled down by him as she started checking him.

"… We're too late. This is so horrible." She said.

"Outta the way." Rita said and Karol stepped back as she ran past him and up the stairs towards the Blastia's control panel.

"Hmm, I might be able to do something with this." She said as she looked at it.

"Rita, watch out! Behind you!" Estelle yelled as Yuri's dog, Repede, Yuri, Naruto, herself, and Karol came up behind here just as three man with red eyes and in black robes appeared.

"We won't let you fix the Barrier." One of them said.

"What the hell!" Rita said as she turned towards them before continuing "It's just one thing after another! I'm sick of this!"

Two of the robed men revealed a pair of sharp blades, one in each sleeve as the third one jumped back before pulling out a cross-bow. One of the ones with blades moved to attack Rita, but Naruto appeared before her in a shunshin as he blocked the man's blades with a kunai.

In the meantime Yuri swung his sword at the other one who was using blades, though the man blocked it. However, Repede – who now had a dagger in his mouth – jumped up into the air and swung his dagger at the man, forcing him to jump back.

"Stay back!" Naruto said as he looked at Rita and Estelle over his shoulder, causing the former to blush slightly.

"Hey, I can take care of myself, you know!" She yelled, causing Estelle to giggle slightly.

Just then, however, an arrow from the one with a cross-bow hit Naruto's kunai, sending it off-balance and the one in front of Naruto took the opportunity to strike at the blond, but he didn't notice Rita's right arm coming out from under Naruto's left armpit.

"O flickering blaze burn! Fire Ball!" She said and a ball of fire shot out and hit the man in the chest, sending him backwards as he crashed down on the ground with his back.

"See?" The brunette said as Naruto smiled and he then ran towards the one with a cross-bow. However, the one Rita hit with the fire ball got back up on his feet before charging at her again.

"Barrier!" Estelle called out as she held out her sword in her right hand held her shield on her left arm. A barrier appeared around Rita, blocking the man as he tried to attack her again.

"Punishing Smash!" Karol said as he held a large hammer and smashed it into the guy's gut so hard that it knocked his breath out as he was sent skidding back.

As he looked back towards them, Rita now stood before Karol with a rape face on her face as she held out her arms.

"Come forth o' avaricious netherworld and crush the evil before me! Negative Gate!" Suddenly a black sphere of darkness with a purple light appeared around the man as said man started screaming in pain. The sphere then vanished and the man fell life-less to the ground.

Just as that happened, the man fighting Yuri and Repede attempted to swing one of his blades at Yuri, but the raven-head blocked it.

"Raging Blast!" He said as he then punched the guy in the chest before a small shockwave erupted from his fist, sending the guy skidding backwards before Yuri followed up with another attack.

"Shining Dragon Swarm!" He said as he then swung his sword through the man several times before moving the sword over to his right hand as he held out his arm and spun the sword around several times, nearly cutting the man open before said man fell life-less to the ground. (Kurama no Kyubi: Yes, Yuri's left-handed.)

"RASENGAN!" Everyone turned towards the source of the voice just in time to see Naruto ramming a sphere of energy into the third one's stomach, and the guy was sent spiraling into a building, causing Yuri to whistle at the power of the attack.

"Nice." He commented.

Rita then went back to working on the Blastia's control panel as the others had moved back down the stairs to give her some room.

"Looks like we have those guys to thank for the Barrier Blastia failing on us." Yuri said before Estelle turned to him.

"But why?" She asked, earning a shrug from Yuri.

Just then Flynn arrived along with two of his soldiers and Naruto, Estelle, Karol, and Repede turned to face him while Yuri simply looked over his shoulder.

"Looks like you've got your hands full over here." Flynn said before Yuri turned around as well.

"So, the Don's little lecture didn't stick?" Yuri asked.

"I'm just doing what I can to help." Flynn said before looking up at the Blastia "How's the repair of the Barrier Blastia going?"

"That'll depend on our genius Mage, here." Yuri said as he looked over his shoulder towards Rita, who was furiously typing away as she attempted to fix the Blastia.

"… The Core is still there. They just fiddled with your formula a bit and stopped it, didn't they? What the…? This is… an amplifier? And this formula again… The same as they were using back on Ehmead Hill…" She said, speaking to the Blastia. (Kurama no Kyubi: Yup, she's crazy.)

"The Barrier disappeared when the Monsters attacked. It can't be a coincidence that they happened at the same time, can it?" Yuri said as he looked back at Flynn.

"… Probably not." Flynn said.

"Heheheh. Do you guys wanna know what's really going on here?" Everyone turned towards the voice just in time to see Saina land on the street before them in a crouched position before she rose to her feet.

"And you're…?" Flynn asked as he and Yuri stepped forward and everyone except for Rita got ready for battle just in case, but Saina's eyes only looked past them as she stared at Naruto.

"You there. Blond kid. Hand over the Normal-Type orb." She said as she held out her hand.

Unknown location

On a small rocky island somewhere in the middle of the ocean was Rayleigh sitting at the edge of said island, staring out over the see as someone walked up behind him.

"You called for me, Rayleigh-san?" Rayleigh looked over his shoulder to see Gildarts standing there.

"Ah, Gildarts." He then looked back out over the ocean before continuing "It would seem that the time has come. Acnologia's whereabouts has been found."

"So, we've been dispatched to take care of him, once and for all." Gildarts said before adding "But there's no way we can do it alone."

"That's why you're not the only ones that were called." Gildarts turned around as Rayleigh looked over his shoulder and they saw two people standing there. One male and one female.

The male wore a jacket which was red and black and black pants. He had a green bag on his back which had a single strap that went from his right shoulder to his left hip. He also wore yellow and blue finger-less gloves and on his head was a weird white cap. He also had a small yellow device strapped to his left hip while he had six Poké-Balls around his right hip, two of which were Great-Balls.

The female was a teenage girl with long black hair in a braided pony-tail which reached down to her butt. She also had blue eyes and her attire consisted of a black t-shirt and grey pants that went down just past her knees. On her hands, she also wore black finger-less gloves and she had a very dark blue X-Loader attached to her belt.

"Brendan. Kanali-chan." Gildarts said.

Then a Digi-Port opened and a young girl stepped through. She had long brown hair that reached down to the middle of her back and her attire consisted of white clothing. The most eye-catching feature of her though, was her eyes which were completely white.

Then a black spot appeared on the ground before an arm suddenly came out and it pulled the person it belonged to out before the black spot vanished.

"Ugh. I hate doing that." The boy who came out said. He was a boy who could be no older than 13 and had messy blue hair, and yellow eyes that were slitted. His attire consisted of a blue sleeve-less shirt underneath an open dark red vest and dark blue shorts. The most eye-catching thing about him, however, was the pair of blue cat ears atop his head, the equally blue cat tail coming out of his back, and the fact that he had small patches of blue fur at several places of his body. He also had fangs and instead of normal nails, he had claws. And his nose even looked like that of a cat's.

"So, it appears that everyone's here." An old rasping voice said as black flames suddenly appeared in the air before spreading and then vanishing from the inside-out, revealing a bald old man who was in the lotus position. He had a long beard, was wearing white robes, and it looked as though his eyes were closed. He also held a wooden staff. The most surprising thing about him was that he was hovering in mid-air.

Rayleigh then finally rose to his feet before turning to the others as he said "Now, for the first time ever will not only two of us work together, but an entire team of seven of us – the Independent Digi-Destined – will work together."

Chapter preview

Karol "Why…? How come none of our attacks are hitting her?"

Saina "I told you, didn't I? I can see the future. I know what attacks you're gonna use before you've even learned them."

Naruto (throws Celebi's ball) "Go, Celebi! Use Psychic!"

Gildarts "So… this is the place. … The place where we will likely die."

Rayleigh "Next time on Naruto: Shinobi Hunters: Acnologia."

Acnologia "ROAR!"

Character information

Name: Nico Robin.

Age: 28

Affiliation: Ohara (former), Konohagakure (former), Baroque Works, Uzushiogakure.

Affinity: Flowers.

Likes: Reading.

Dislikes: The Government.

Info: Robin was born on the island of archeology, Ohara in the West Blue. When she was no older than 2, her mother left along with several other archeologists to study the Poneglyphs, and discover what happened during the Void Century. When she returned alone 6 years later, however, the island was destroyed by the Governments Buster-Call, an attack of ten Marine Warships led by five Vice-Admirals. Robin – who was 8 at the time – was the only survivor and due to that and her ability to read the Poneglyphs, she was given a bounty of over 80 million. At age 10, she found herself in the Elemental Nations in the North Blue where she was found by Team Minato of Konoha and was brought to said village where she became a ninja and teammate of Uchiha Shisui and Uzuki Yugao. She also realized her destiny as a Digi-Destined along with six other Konoha Shinobi, and together with them, Minato's generation, and the Sannin were able to defeat and seal the Perfect; Hachimon who had caused major chaos all across the world. She eventually left Konoha in her late teen years and under unknown circumstances became the second-in-command of the most secretive Guild, Baroque Works under the alias of Miss. All-Sunday.

Kurama no Kyubi: And that's it for that chapter. Now then, it seems that the names of two other Perfects have been revealed, and yes, Naruto and the others will be forced to face the both of them sooner or later (not at the same time, of course). And as for the present, it seems that Gildarts, Rayleigh, and several others will be facing Acnologia, so let's see how that battle will pan out. Now then, before I leave, I think I'll reveal a new character which will be added into my Naruto/Smash crossover.

SSBNS character trailer

CGI scene start

Mario and Bowser are in the Bowser's Castle Stage (original Stage) as the plumber jumps into the air and as he comes back down, he fires several fire balls at the large Koopa. Bowser then jumps into the air before Mario can land and scratches him with his claws, sending backwards before he manages to right himself and land on his feet as Bowser lands as well. As they get ready to attack each other again, a voice speaks up.

"Heh. So is this where the party's at?" Mario and Bowser then look towards the source of the voice to see a man in his late teens standing there. He has spiky, pink hair, yellow slitted eyes, and a pair of fangs. His attire consists of an open black, sleeve-less vest with yellow outlines, baggy, white pants with a piece of clothing matching his vest hanging from his brown belt around the pants. And black sandals. He also has a long scaly scarf around his neck.

He then punches his right fist into his left palm as he smiles.

(NATSU DRAGNEEL IS FIRED UP!)

CGI scene stop

Natsu stands in the Bowser's Castle Stage as Mario and Bowser charges at him.

"Let me show you some of the techniques that Igneel taught me!" He says before charging at Mario and Bowser as his right arm is covered in flames.

"Karyu no Tekken!" He calls out as he punches Mario in the chest so hard that the plumber gets sent flying back into Bowser and the two of them are sent flying off-screen.

Natsu is then in the Hyrule Field Stage (another original Stage) as Link runs at him.

"Karyu no Kagizume!" He calls out as his feet get covered in flames and he lashes out at Link with them, sending the green-clad hero away.

"Let's go, Happy!" Natsu says.

"Aye, sir!" A small blue cat says as he carries Natsu across the Halberd Stage while Meta Knight flies towards them.

"Karyu no Hoko!" Natsu calls out as he fires a blast of fire which then engulfs Meta Knight.

"Raienryu Mode! I'm fired up, now!" The Dragon-Slayer says as Mario, Link, and Meta Knight all charges at him.

"Get 'em, Natsu!" Happy yells.

"Raienryu no Hoko!" Natsu then fires a large blast of fire and lightning in the form of a giant beam which covers the entire bottom half of the Battlefield Stage, sending the three opponents flying away.

"You sure taught them, Natsu!" Happy says.

"You bet I did!" Natsu says with a wide grin as he high-fives Happy as he stands the middle of the Fairy Tail Stage.
