Chapter 3: Meeting Dadan Family

-Start-

In the evening when Naruto and Hinata came back, they found Mito berating Hashirama, and Tobirama was giving his two cents here and there in between. Naruto sighed and said, "Not going to come between a wife and husband, when he is being berated by his wife." Hinata simply smiled. Naruto thought, "I think that brings me out of the well for morning." They simply ignored them and went in their room first to freshen up. After freshening up they then went to kitchen to fill the shelves with grains, vegetables and meat bought from Foosha village. Sometime later all people started coming back from their visits to town or villages. Around one hour later food was done and everyone was sitting beside the table, waiting for food to be presented. After dinner was done, Mito started the day's recounting by saying, "We got a few guest in evening. And your dumb great-grandfather stringed them up by his mokuton." "Really, who were they?" Naruto asked. Tobirama replied, "I think they were our neighbors." "What they were here?" Jiraiya asked surprised. He was given the task to observe and gather information about the said neighbors. At this everyone looked at him. Tsunade asked, "Why what is wrong with them?" Jiraiya explained, "As far as I can tell, they are bandits. They are mountain bandits specifically." "Really, they are bandits, harassing and looting from civilians, those bandits?" Mito asked. "I can't really say. I didn't see them doing any harassing, but people in village are somewhat scared of them." Jiraiya elaborated. Tobirama added in his usual stoic tone, "They must have seen me coming from Goa with money and came here to loot us. Then Hashirama did the right thing by stringing them up." At this Mito looked sheepish and Hashirama smug. Tsunade wiped the smirk of Hashirama by saying, "You didn't know that at the time did you. So in effect you stringed up guests." "Any way I told them that we will come to their house in the morning. But we can't leave house unattended, since they can make another attempt when we are at their house." Mito and looked at each other. Naruto said, easing their worry, "That is not a problem. I and Mito-baachan will apply a locking seal. And give you all a copy of key seal. And I don't think anyone will be able to steal the key from you." "So that is that, now let's disperse." Tsunade said. Naruto whispered to, "Don't forget silencing seals, ok."

-Next Morning-

Hinata woke up in morning and saw that Naruto was already up and trying again to combine his gravity armor, sage mode and haki. Instead a clone was on bed to keep here warm. He was leaps and bounds ahead in use of his rinnegan and six paths and sage mode than he was in his youth. He can already combine any two, but he was not able to combine all three at the same time, but was progressing on that steadily. She couldn't comprehend what will be his strength then, after all his natural strength after rinnegan awakening was higher than normal person, and he was able to destroy quarter of a mountain to half of a mountain, with combining only two namely sage mode and gravity armor. Anyway now time was to wake up, freshen up and scare the neighbor, it was decided after they found out that neighbors were bandits and two boys were living among them. They didn't think that those two were poorly treated, but it was unusual for them to see two boys living among bandits, in elemental nations they hadn't seen a bandit group which had civilian children among them. Also they wanted to know more about Dawn Island and East Blue, which they thought they must know more about, being bandits and all. So Hinata woke up, seeing that his job was done, clone dispelled, making Naruto aware that Hinata woke up. He stood up and lightly kissed her on the lips saying, "Good morning Hinata-chan. How was the night?" Hinata was having little problem sleeping on the ship. "Good morning Naruto-kun, it was good. It was better than on ship. I think it will take me some time to get used to sleeping on ship." "Any way freshen up, Hinata-chan, after all we are going to scare the neighbors" said Naruto smirking. After half hour or so everybody was on the doorstep after eating a light breakfast. Naruto and Mito were applying seals on the building. After that they started walking towards Dadan Family house, as Jiraiya informed them that bandits are called Dadan Family in the area.

-Dadan Family House-

Luffy was outside the house, excitedly pacing around the house. Dadan was inside and a little nervous after hearing that one of them has a power that lets him control trees. Ace was indifferent for now. He thought if they tried to hurt Luffy or Dadan he could handle them. He had become strong, and was going out to sea in few months as he promised Sabo. After sometime they saw twelve people walking towards them. Luffy said excited, "They are here. They are here." Dadan shouted, "Shut up Luffy" coming outside the house. Rest of bandits started whispering. Ace was giving them the evil eye which he gave Luffy when he first met him. He didn't like new people, and all of them felt dangerous to him, very dangerous, like Garp-jisan, when really angry.

Tsunade seeing Ace's face said, "Wow you look really angry. What is the problem brat?" Ace replied, his eyes stopping for a moment on Tsunade's bigger than normal …assets, "I don't like you people. You are dangerous." Hinata said, "We are really not, if you don't anger us?" At this Naruto got evil smirk on his lips and said, "We know you tried to loot us yesterday, that definitely counts as angering us." At this Ace stiffened, Dadan looked more nervous, Luffy was as usual oblivious, rest of bandits were trying and failing to hide behind Dadan's enormous frame. Seeing this, Naruto laughed, even Tobirama had a smile on his face. Mito explained to ease their worry, "Don't worry we will not be doing any harm to do. We came here to introduce us, get some information and give you a warning about messing with us. It will not be pretty if you further antagonize us." She looked at Naruto her expression scolding, Naruto looked a bit sheepish for a second before starting the introduction, "My name is Senju Naruto. The woman in purple is my beautiful wife Senju Hinata. Expressionless redhead is Sabaku no Gaara. At his side Sabaku no Tenten his wife. This is my father Minato, his wife and my mother Kushina. This is Tsunade-baachan, her husband Jiraiya and the redhead woman who is still looking to scold me, Mito-baachan and her husband Hashirama oji-san." pointing his fingers to each one respectively. Dadan still looked that she will faint, so Ace started, "My name is Portugas D. Ace." He had already decided that he would take her mother's name. Pointing towards Luffy, "This chimp here is Monkey D. Luffy." Luffy interrupted waving his hand to dragons, "Hey! I am not a chimp. I am a pirate in training." Ace continued, "This is Dadan, Dogra and Magra" pointing towards each one. "Rest is just cannon fodder." Collectively rest shouted, "Hey!" At this Luffy and Ace both snickered, even if they had gotten closer after Sabo's death, but they still enjoyed making fun of them. Tsunade said, "Wow you are blunt. Did nobody teach you manners?" "Makino did." Luffy said. "Makino…Makino where I have heard that name? Oh yes bar patron in Foosha village had the same name. Are you talking about her?" Naruto asked. Luffy nodded emphatically. After this Hashirama said, "Will you not invite us inside?" Ace hit Dadan on the shin to wake her up in reality. "Please come in." Dadan said as politely she can manage. Even she can gather that these people were strong, perhaps even stronger than Garp-san, and he was the strongest man she knew.

After they arranged themselves on the floor of the house, Ace bluntly asked, "What do you want?" Luffy was now gawking at Hinata's eyes in curiosity, this was the first time he noticed Hinata's unique eyes. "We just want information" Tobirama said. He continued, "We are new to the seas, our island was pretty isolated, this is first time anyone has ventured outside of our nation, in known history. So can you give us a map, and direct us to a library?" Dadan stared at them and finally said, "There is no library on this island. If you want comprehensive information on islands go to Loguetown, it is a big port and city with a large marine presence there you can find a library and any other things you need to know about seas." "Really, I didn't know you were so smart." Luffy said, looking at her with stars in his eyes." Naruto's group looked at each other and decided that they could get more information using Naruto's human path and then they will move to Loguetown. Mei asked, "Loguetown which is nearest port to reverse mountain right?" "Yes" this time Ace replied. "So what is with two boys living with bandits?" Ace and Luffy both said, "We are not boys, we are men." Ace also added, "We are left here by Garp-jisan since he is a marine and can't take care of us all the time. He wants us to become a marine but I am going to become a pirate, travel to Grandline and make my name famous in all of the seas, as soon as I am seventeen I am leaving the island." Every one of the dragons looked at him and decided that he has most knowledge about seas. Naruto was looking at a chance to touch the boy so he can gain knowledge about bandits and seas before sailing off from this island. "So you want to become pirates. Huh. You don't look so tough. Will you really be able to survive out there?" "He will. Ace is strong." Luffy said before Ace can say anything. "Oh really, how about this we go outside and fight, I will only use one hand and if you can win you can go to sea otherwise I will bring you here any time I see you on sea , or if we found that you are travelling on the sea by newspapers; since you would be on them if you want to become famous." "How are you going to do that? I don't think any ship on the port is yours. And even if you got a ship you have to waste time to bringing me here." Naruto smirked, "Oh that is not a problem. We have a ship it is just not on regular ports and hidden. And for second one…." he pointed towards Minato "my otou-san and I can bring you here in seconds from wherever you are." "That's not possible" Ace said. "Oh you think so. Let's test it then. We will be waiting here for half an hour go as far as you can in that time." Minato said. After seeing that Ace and bandits were didn't believe that such a thing is possible, Naruto said, "Go on then" to Ace. "Rest of them will be witness that we didn't move from here for half an hour." Luffy was becoming more and more excited, "Really really, you can bring Ace here any time?" "Yes" Naruto said. "Suge(Awesome)" Luffy said pushing Ace out of the door, I really want to see it. Ace thought about it, and decided that he will go and hunt an animal and if they can't bring him he will train otherwise he wouldn't have to bring the carcass. "Ok, ok I am going."

For half hour both groups did small talks. Dragons asked more about Dawn Island and pirates, they didn't think a child should wish to be pirate since piracy was a bad thing. Luffy said, "Only some pirates are bad. Pirates like shanks are pretty good. They even saved me from a bandit and sea king." "What is a sea king?" Hinata asked. Dadan stared at them, "Wow, your people really were isolated. Sea kings are overly large sea animals." Thus they continued. Dragons were able to find about Grey terminal, Tenryuubito, their cruelty, Goa kingdom its part that is most of the thing about Dawn Island. Dragons thought that Tenryuubito's cruelties are exaggerated; they are bandits after all they will talk bad about government. Because they didn't comprehend existence of so cruel people who are not stopped but aided by government. Half hour passed, Minato stood up and flashed to Ace, and came back. He had discreetly put a seal on him when he was going out and passed by him. And all people in Dragons had all three teleportation seals on their body namely of Tobirama, Minato and Naruto. Everyone was shocked, Luffy had stars in his eyes, and even his body was shining. "Suuuugeee!" Luffy exclaimed. It was so fast that Ace didn't even have time to take carcass of the animal he killed. All anybody saw was a yellow flash. So seeing that for going out to sea he has to beat Naruto, he said, "Ok then I will fight you. Let's go outside."

"So you ready?" Naruto asked. Ace was standing 5-6 feet distance from Naruto, in his hand was his trusty steel pipe, that he uses to bash bandits, thieves and animals. "Yes" Ace replied steeling himself. "This is a spar, so no need to bet your life on it. And if you give a good region for becoming pirated I will even train you a little bit." "You are assuming you are going to win." Ace said. Naruto just smiled and said, "Oh, you are confident, let's see I will need only hand only one hand to beat you. If you manage to make me use my other hand or legs, I will let you go to become a pirated." Hearing this Ace became angry and ran to Naruto with his pipe ready for a overhead strike. Naruto just sidestepped and touched him on his forehead and flicked him, sending him flying to nearest tree. Just when he was touched on forehead he started remembering some memories. He again tried to hit Naruto this time a bit carefully. He again went for an overhead strike but changed his direction to diagonally to hit Naruto when he sidestepped. Naruto just used his hand to catch his pipe. Ace using his pipe as pivot, brought his leg up to hit Naruto in stomach. As soon as he started lifting his leg, Naruto threw pipe using a flick, unbalancing Ace and caught his leg. Ace's head was going to hit the dirt, just before his head could strike the floor he used his hand to balance himself and brought his other hand to strike Naruto on his head. Naruto just threw whole of Ace body again. Ace again was plastered to a tree, which was around 20 meters far. This time he barely kept he was barely able to keep his consciousness. Naruto appeared near him in a flash and said, "Had enough yet?" Ace just stared him defiantly until losing his consciousness. Luffy was dumbstruck, this was first time he saw someone beating Ace. He went to Ace shouting, "Ace; are you alright Ace? What did you do to him? Fix him or I will beat you." Naruto just smiled and said, "No worries Luffy. He will be alright in a few hours. Hinata-chan, would you heal him?" "Did you have to damage him so bad? It will take a few hours before I will be able to heal him totally." Hinata said. Tsunade interrupted, "Don't worry Hinata-chan I will help you." Naruto made two clones, and looked towards Hashirama who made a wood stretcher. Ace was placed on the stretcher and everyone again went inside. Luffy was beside him, looking sad, but trying to not cry since Ace said that men didn't cry and crying didn't solve any problem.
