Chapter 22: Ninjas for Rent
Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Hinata and Sai stood before the forest before them… it was over grown and strange sounds they never came from the forest… Naruto's eye twitched, Sakura looked like she going to kill someone, Hinata looked down, Sasuke looked interested while Sai… Sai just looked like he did normally and didn't care what was going on.
"Thanks for helping us." Came a voice behind them.
"They turned around and saw Nami.
"It's not like we had a choice." Muttered Naruto.
(Flashback)
Team Senshi as they've been called in the past, they noticed that Arashi was bruised and looked like he just lost at something.
"I have a very special mission I need of you that only you can do." Said Tsunade.
"What kind of mission?" asked Naruto, "Is it a really awesome one!"
"I guess you could say that… you're going to helping Luffy's crew because they're currently on something called a Prehistoric Island…" said Tsunade.
"Oh, yeah I heard about that. They're island with dinosaurs and stuff still on it." Said Naruto.
"How did you know that?" asked Sai.
"Luffy told me that!" yelled Naruto.
"Now, now… stop fighting." Said Tsunade in a tone that said, "Don't make me angry."
"So are they actually paying us?" asked Sakura.
"Actually… Nami asked me and in exchange, she cuts my debt." Said Tsunade.
This earned a reaction from everyone by Sai.
"Dad! You just agreed!" yelled Naruto.
"She beat me up…" whined Arashi.
Naruto glared at his father… he just had to.
"Now you'll be leaving as soon as you can… you may leave in two groups if you need to remember Naruto and Sasuke are the one taking you." Said Tsunade.
Everyone in the group gave Tsunade a look but did it anyways.
(End of Flashback)
"I like helping you guys… but I can't believe that you actually did that…" muttered Naruto.
"Well some of don't want to go on the island." Said Nami.
"I heard about the time you got sick… but I don't know… said Sakura who then got so angry she had to be restrained by Naruto and Sasuke "Using Tsunade like that just to get hired help! I can't belie you did that!"
Not too long later n the Hound Sunny…
"Okay… so that's the plan…" said Sakura, "I'll help Chopper with first aid, Hinata will help in the kitchen, Sasuke and Naruto will help get food and Sai… will do whatever."
"Who made you leader of this mission?" asked Naruto.
Sakura glared at Naruto who hid behind Luffy.
"So when you mean get food what do you mean?" asked Sasuke.
"Dinosaur meat." Said Luffy with a big smile.
"Oh great…" muttered Sasuke.
Naruto smiled… that actually sounded fun.
Sometime later most of those that stayed on the boat watched from the shore… as they heard the sound of dying dinosaurs along with the sound of several explosions and yells…
"Aren't they over doing, I know how much Naruto and Luffy can eat, but still." Said Hinata.
"I think it's also has to with the rivalry out there." Said Nami, "I think it's gotten to the point where Luffy is the only hunting for meat."
Everyone watching sweat dropped and nodded.
"So do you think much of the dinosaurs on that island will go extinct?" asked Sakura.
"No that's why Franky, Ace and Robin went with them… incase they went over board." Said Nami.
"What about Vivi?" asked Sakura.
"She went for the adventure." Sighed Usopp.
Nami, Chopper and Usopp sweat dropped…
Meanwhile in the forest, two mysterious figures talked.
"So you won't use your claws against them… not until we go after your real target." Said the first figure
The 2nd figure nodded, "I know… these are merely tests…" said the 2nd.
"Let's begin." Said 1st.
Sanji was dragging his kill (a T-Rex) when he thought he heard something. He didn't see anything, he shrugged…
Not too far away… the others who had finished their hunts and those accompanied them and were waiting for Sanji.
"I can't believe I was beaten by a 12 year old…" muttered Zoro looking at the pile.
"Hey! I'm 13!" yelled Naruto with a pile of three large dinosaurs, "I think…"
""Where's Sanji… I'm hungry…" whined Luffy.
"What the hell!" they heard Sanji in the distance.
Zoro laughed, "Looks like he did something stupid."
"I'll go check on him…" muttered Sasuke seemingly disappearing.
"You know, I know I've known you guys for a while, but those Ninja tricks still surprise me." Said Franky.
Sasuke arrived at were Sanji was where he was nursing bumps and bruises.
"What happened to you?" asked Sasuke.
"Something invisible attacked me." Said Sanji.
Sasuke snorted, "Yeah right." He said.
"You don't believe me." Said Sanji.
"If we were in my world I'd belie you, but here, you sound crazy!" said Sasuke, "And besides, from a story I heard from Luffy, you already fought an invisible guy…"
Sanji glared at the pompous ninja boy, "Then you help me Cray this back."
"What ever." Mumbled Sasuke.
Later when everyone got back to the ship, Sanji explained what happened.
"Really an island… with some of invisible foe that attacked you." Said Zoro trying not to laugh.
Sanji gritted his teeth.
"Are you sure it's not the Pervy lion guy?" asked Luffy.
"I'm sure." Said Sanji.
"I don't know, if you ask me it sounds made up." Said Sai.
"No one asked you!" yelled everyone else.
"If you need to, I can investigate." Said Hinata.
"That's right, Hinata's specialty is searching and tracking." Said Naruto, "She'll be able to find out whatever it is."
""You're just hopping it's not a ghost." Said Sasuke.
Naruto said nothing and sweat dropped.
"Before you do…" said Sakura with an evil smirk, "Nami we need to talk about something…"
Nami sweat dropped.
Sakura and Nami left the room.
"I wonder that's what about." Said Usopp.
"Probably negotiating something about "extra services concerning the Byakugan's use" or something." Said Sasuke.
"Fine! I'll take off more of Tsunade's debt!" yelled Nami form the outside, "But I'm still not paying you!"
Everyone in the room sweat dropped.
"So that's why she brought a copy of the mission guidelines." Said Naruto.
Sometime later Luffy, Sanji, Hinata, Naruto and for some reason Aeries were investigating the area were Sanji was attacked.
"Why are you here?" asked Naruto.
"I haven't done anything in a while…" said Aries with a shrug.
"Do you see anything?" asked Sanji.
"There's something there… but it's moving too quickly… I can't get a good sight on it." Said Hinata who had her Byakugan activated.
"What?" asked Sanji.
"Luffy! I think it's headed in your direction!" yelled Hinata.
"What?" asked Luffy.
That's when Luffy was hit by the invisible force… he was struck many times… Before it left.
"Ow…" muttered Luffy.
"You okay?" asked Hinata as she deactivated her Byakugan.
"I'm fine…" said Luffy giving his trademark grin, "That just surprised me."
"So it's not a ghost?" asked Naruto.
"Not… it's someone… but their moving too fast boor me to really see it." Said Hinata,
"We should go back to the ship."
And so they explained to everyone what was going on…
"So this invisible thing is actually something moving really fast?" asked Sasuke.
"That's right…" said Hinata.
Nami sighed, "I have to cut more of the debt, don't I?" asked Nami.
"That's right." Said Sakura with a nod.
Sasuke was thinking about something, "We're going to need a decoy…" he said.
"What do you mean?" asked Naruto.
"Obviously this thing is after the crew and not us… if one of us goes out there, it probably won't attack…" said Sasuke.
"That makes sense." Said Robin, "And you have someone in mind don't you."
Sasuke nodded… he did, after all he needed to prove his theory.
Sometime later Usopp shivered in the forest… he didn't know why Sasuke choose him, but he was going to make him pay… with Naruto's help of course… Usopp had to admit the ninja was a better prankster than he was.
Nearby… in some trees… Sasuke asked a certain group to watch Usopp… himself, Naruto, Ace, Luffy and Zoro.
"So that's why you had Usopp…" said Luffy.
"I would be surprised if they gave him something to compensate for his weakens." Said Sasuke.
"I don't get it." Said Naruto.
Everyone but Luffy sweat drop.
Sasuke sighed and activated the Sharingan…
Usopp stood in the forest, that's when he thought he something behind him he turned around quickly… especially when he heard a clang. He turned around and Kuro with his claws on… however blocking the claws was Sasuke holding a Kunai.
"Usopp move!" yelled Sasuke.
"Hmmm… interesting… I don't know why Hyuga and Uchiha are here. But you're lucky they are." Said Violet showing up.
The two broke contact as Kuro ran away.
"Tsunade was blackmailed so we came here on a mission." Said Sasuke with a smirk.
"I see…" said Violet.
"What are you doing anyways?" asked Sasuke.
"Just testing out my glasses." Said Kuro adjusting them.
Sasuke noticed strange computer symbols on his lenses.
"I've been working on it for a while, power wise Kuro is the 2nd weakest among the allies we made… with these new glasses he's now as strong as Panty Hose Taro… maybe stronger." Said Violet adjusting her glasses.
That's when a cell phone she wore on her hip rang, she picked it up and answered it, "Hello." She said.
"Don't call me that!" yelled Taro on the other line.
Violent hung it up thinking, "How did he knew I said that." She thought.
"So then Luffy and Sanji were merely test subjects?" asked Sasuke.
"That's right… but there other tests as well… one actually involved your former master." Said Violet.
"Oh I see…" said Sasuke in an emotionless tone.
"What?" asked Violet.
"Should there be a reaction?" asked Kuro, he hard the story of Sasuke's training under Orochimaru and how the snake Sanin abandoned him.
"All that anger was beaten out of him by his current teach." Said Naruto as he and the 3 Pirate Senshi joined them.
"Please don't say it like that." Muttered Sasuke.
"But it's true, she did beat all that anger out of you." Said Luffy.
"Usopp got find somewhere to hide." Said Zoro.
"But the forest is full of Dinosaurs you're the only reason why I was to get though it." Said Usopp.
"Then go sit somewhere where you can be safe!" yelled Zoro.
"We already called the others they should be here…" said Ace, just then most of the other Senshi came though a tie portal… except for Kakashi (who was busy) and Ryoga (who was currently a pig at the moment).
"Why aren't you transformed yet?" asked Sailor Jupiter.
Everyone sweat dropped.
"Mars Cosmic Power!"
"Venus Cosmic Power!"
"Neptune Cosmic Power!"
"Juno cosmic Power!"
"Pallas Cosmic Power!"
"Make-up!"
All 5 of them Transformed…
"Come my Crystal Bright!" called out Violet calling forth a purple monster.
"All right! This for beating me up!" yelled Sailor Mars.
"You barely felt it!" yelled the 4 Senshi that witnessed it as well as Usopp.
"Gum Gum Flaming Gattling!"
"Icy Wind Shuriken!"
"Flaming Drill Torpedo!"
"Double Elemental Punch!"
All of the attacks hit the monster…
"I'll go this time!" said Sailor Cosmos Moon.
"Go ahead!" said Neo Sailor Moon.
"Cosmic Moon Shining Star!"
With that attack the monster was defeated.
"All right!" cheered Usopp.
"We'll be back soon." Said Kuro.
"I hope you can handle this." Said Violet.
And the two of them disappeared in a flash of light.
Sometime later at the Hound Sunny…
"Wait! I was just a test subject!" yelled Sanji.
"Pretty much." Laughed Luffy.
"So he's stronger because of his glasses…" said Robin putting thought into it.
"Yeah… but I'm still stronger! Next time he uses those I'm kicking his ass." Said Luffy.
"Hey…" said Sai, "What's wrong with the Greedy Bitch?"
"Most of her debt with Tsunade is gone…" said Sakura who then sighed.
"What is it?" asked Naruto.
"After this… I'm going to think that Tsunade going to lease out ninja to her debtors…" said Sakura.
Everyone sweat dropped…
And Sakura was right, after discovering that her debt was much lower than the original agreement, Tsunade started leasing out ninja that could be of some use to her debtors… that is until the council stopped it with Arashi's agreement of course…
