A/N I don't own KH or Naruto. Pretty soon, I will base a scene on a famous scene from Naruto. Not this chapter but a later one. Take a guess on what it is.
"I should've stayed with the Genie!" Iago whined, perched on Sora's shoulder. "Manual labor beats danger any day."
"Does he always whine like this?" Asked Naruto.
"You have no idea Naruto," said Sora, looking downwards, and they saw something. Aladdin, look there. He pointed down along a rising tide beach where a heavy group of tracks lays. Carpet descended a few feet above the ground, giving them a better look.
"Good, the trails still fresh," said Sora looked ahead and saw the rear of the Forty Thieves, riding fast behind a cliff.
"There they are." said Aladdin. Carpet stopped behind a cliff base and they hid behind it. Sora and Aladdin looked passed it and saw the Forty Thieves grouped together by the beach. Well, they got nowhere to go. "We got 'em trapped."
"We?" Iago shouted, not raising his voice to be heard. "They are forty thieves. We are you three guys, a monkey, and me. Wait, wait, don't count me." Aladdin just shrugged his shoulders while Naruto rolled his eyes at Iago's cowardice as Sora looked out again.
"Why are they standing there?" He asked. Aladdin looked and was thinking the same thing. Naruto takes a closer look without being spotted. He sees the King on his horse raise his hands.
"OPEN SESAME!" Nothing happened at first, but then the ground began to shake as the surface of the water boiled; a burning light rising from beneath it. The cliff face began to crack down the center, the light emitting from within it. The crack burst open to a wide doorway, shooting a powerful gust of energy down the water, creating a wide-open path, the water wall on the sides.
The King led his men down the path with all haste. As they rode halfway through, Sora, Naruto, and Aladdin quickly hopped on Carpet, Abu, and Iago grabbed their collars, and soared down the path as the walls began to close in inches behind while the doorway began to close. Iago was screaming with death-defying terror, believing they wouldnt make it. but they dove right in just before the doorway closed.
Carpet suddenly lost balance and threw Sora, Naruto, Aladdin, and Abu against a wall of debris, but were unharmed. After they shook the headaches away, their eyes saw a grand marvel unlike they had ever seen in their world. To them, an aged old palace was built inside the cliff, though ruined, standing pristine with wonder. Carpet taps on Aladdin and Sora's shoulders.
"I know, Carpet." said Aladdin. "It's amazing."
"You can say that again." said Sora. Carpet then pulled on their collars, turned them around, and pointed at the closed entrance, only to find Iago standing on the ground with his hands over his eyes.
"How bad is it?" Iago whimpered. They looked behind him and saw that his tail had gotten caught. Abu dashed up to Iago, spat in his hands, rubbed them together, and grabbed Iago in a big hug, pulling him with all his strength, and was shot back, with Iago yelping. When he got on his feet, he looked over his shoulder and saw a naked stub.
"Oh, this is attractive." He said sarcastically. He walked over to the entrance, snapped his tail feathers from the crack, and stuck them back on. Aladdin and Sora just shrugged. Naruto guffawed at the bird who glared at him.
"C'mon." Sora said. "We gotta find the hideout."
They quietly followed a trail over debris and creeks that led them to the Forty Thieves camping ground. It was well-lit with torches and oil lamps, tents pitched up all around, and the thieves gathered together in a circle, listening to Saluks rant on about today's job.
"We could've had all the loot from the wedding, but we followed the King's plan," said Saluk. "This is what we have to show for our trouble in Agrabah: NOTHING!" His heavy fist slammed down and shattered a perfectly good table. The thieves muttered amongst one another, most in agreement while others began to bet what was going to happen, who was going die, and how long they had to live. Saluk reeled in his fist and walked up to the King, holding his gold claws up shoulder level, the edge faintly glittering in the light.
"Your time draws to a close, Cassim." said Saluk.
"Cassim?" Sora asked.
"My father." said Aladdin, taking a step further out of hiding.
"Good thing we know his name." Naruto whispered.
Sora looked from Cassim to Aladdin and back again. Cassim's blue cowl was now down, and he was revealed to be the man the Oracle had shown them. "Well, that was easy. Now all we have to do is kick thirty-nine butts and go home."
"Don't you mean forty?" Iago questioned.
"No." Sora replied. "I counted."
Below, Cassim remained calm and collected. "If you're talking about spilling my blood," he told Saluk, "I just don't see that happening."
"Then let me open your eyes!" Saluk shouted as he raised the hand which sported his clawed knuckleduster.
Sora had no time to protest before Aladdin jumped from the wall and tackled Saluk. Sora rolled his eyes. "Well, there goes our element of surprise." he sighed before summoning the Keyblade and joining Aladdin. He pointed his blade at Saluk's head.
"Then let me open your eyes!" Saluk shouted, raising his claw high above his head as Cassim took his stance, preparing for the coming blow. Though that's not how Aladdin saw it. He jumped out of hiding and ran at Saluk before Sora, Naruto, and Aladdin had the chance to reach and grab a hold of him to stop him.
"Run, I got him," said Aladdin, struggling to keep Saluk down. Cassim just looked at him with a raised eyebrow, not knowing who this boy was, or what he was doing when his gaze was met with his. "I'm Aladdin. You're my father."
With those words, Cassim gasped with surprise, along with the Forty Thieves, conversing amongst themselves of this impossibility. Saluk then threw Aladdin off him, making him drop his dagger. Sora came at him with pulled right fist, but Saluk grabbed his coming punch and threw him aside with Aladdin, during which Cassim picked up the fallen dagger and stared at the hilt.
"I don't know about your father, boy." said Saluk, walking over to Aladdin and Sora, adjusting the grip on his claw. "But I'll send you to meet your other ancestors. Both Aladdin and Sora gasped with fear as Saluk raised his claw and drove it down, only to be stopped by Cassims grasp.
"Let him go," said Cassim. "The boy is my son." He looked down at Aladdin with a smile on his face, and met with Aladdin's own. He then looked out to his men, showing off the dagger. "I gave this dagger to my wife years ago. I told her to give to our newborn son Aladdin."
"It's true?" a thief asked.
"So the boy is the son of the King of Thieves." said another thief. Sora helped Aladdin up to his feet.
"You're the King of Thieves?" Aladdin asked, unsure to take the truth so easily.
"Like it or not, boy, were blood." said Cassim, tossing the dagger back to Aladdin. He walked up to his and held his arms. "Look at you, I never thought I see you again. Has it been so long?"
"From the looks of it." said Sora. Cassim let go of Aladdin and looked at Sora and Naruto.
"And who are these boys?" Cassim asked.
"Thes are my friends Sora and Naruto Naruto." said Aladdin. Cassim nodded and took a closer look at them.
"They... look familiar."
"Blood or mud," Saluk boasted, pushing Cassim aside, and threatening Sora and Aladdin with his claw. "The boys are intruders, and we have rules about intruders." The thieves muttered in agreement, and by the sinister look in their eyes, Aladdin, Sora, and Naruto knew that things didn't look too good for them. At first, they thought they'd make a bee-line out of there, but they saw that Carpet, Abu, and Iago were caught and bound
"They have found our secret lair... He must die." Saluk shouted. "They must all die!"
"Die?" Naruto screamed. "Oh, come on! We're his friends. And he's your son."
"YES PLEASE CAST US SOME MERCY HERE!" Iago pleaded.
"Yes, Cassim, mercy would be so like you," said Saluk, looking at Cassim over his shoulder. "Soft, and weak." Cassim only scowled and glanced around to his men, then back at Aladdin, Naruto, and Sora. He then smirks.
"Kill them..." He ordered. Cassim grinned and has his claws on Aladdin's to go for the kill but he was interrupted by Cassim.
"But...
"Or the boys could yes, the boys could nah."
Now the thieves were interested, asking him to tell.
"What? They boys could what?"
"Nothing." said Cassim, smiling with a shrug of his shoulders. "Probably a bad idea."
Cassim walked in between two thieves and placed his arms around them, holding their shoulders. "The boys could face the Challenge." His gang grinned and cheered in agreement.
"Challenge?" Naruto asked Sora. Sora shrugged his hands.
"That's it. My son and his two friends will face the challenge."
"And I shall be the one to test them." Naruto chuckled.
"Ha, If I can beat Kakashi's test. I can surely beat your stupid test." Naruto grinned.
The Forty Thieves gathered all around on a cliff peak where an ancient arena lay. Abu, Iago, and Carpet were grounded under a giant fat man. Aladdin, Sora, and Naruto stood in the arena with Cassim behind them.
"So, what's going on, Dad?" asked Aladdin.
"Oh, the challenge is simple enough." said Cassim. "Only one man survives. Well, in this case, three. if you can beat Saluk."
Naruto smirked, "I think we can handle this pinhead wide open." He exclaimed. Sora agreed with that.
"Yeah... compared to the other guys I faced... he's nothing!"
Cassim smiled as he handed Aladdin back his dagger, before he stepped back into the crowd.
"Knock him dead, boys. Seriously."
A thief stepped forward with a sword in his hands between the wide space between the three fighters. Aladdin only tucked the dagger under his belt and Sora summoned his Keyblade, which caught the thieves by surprise seeing such magic. Naruto crossed his middle and index finger together before his face and shouted. Saluk strikes at Aladdin but he dodges it before Saluk slaps him. Cassim looks with worrying that his son might not win. However, Naruto doesn't agree with that take.
"Shadow clone Jutsu!"
Saluk gasped when he a dozen two more Narutos. All three of them smirked at the clawed men then charged a punch to Saluk.
Saluk got up and growled.
"Heres an idea!" said Saluk. "DIE!"
He charged Naruto and tried to hit him with his claws, but Sora blocked the attack.. In spite of Saluk's efforts to stick Sora's blade into him, he was able to hold him back. Rather than push forward, Saluk pulled his right fist, but Sora swiftly swung up his right foot at Saluks temple, but his ankle was grabbed and Saluk spun three times around and threw Sora hard against a wall.
"SORA!" Naruto cried out.
The thieves cheered with Saluk's blow, but he was caught off guard when Aladdin jumped up behind him, his hands held tightly together, and slammed his double fist at the base of Saluk's skull, knocking him fast and hard to the ground. Saluk climbed back to his feet and turned to Aladdin. Then A Naruto clone was running and running and running to make Saluk dizzy. Sora then used Thunder against Saluk.
Aladdin scowled at Saluk as he rose to his feet and charged at him as fast as he could, his right hand grasping onto the handle of his dagger. Saluk's claw came down hard but was stopped by Aladdin's dagger, holding Saluk back with all his strength, pushing him back.
Saluk then raised Aladdin high above his head as he stood by the cliff, the thieves cheering on, shouting and yelling, begging Saluk to throw him down while Cassim gasped from behind, unable to believe it.
His arms threw down and Aladdin plummeted into the darkness, but unknown to them, Aladdin's body was dragging along the cliff face, sticking his dagger into the surface and slowing his descent to an edge line strong enough to stand on with his back against the surface. He looks down below that he is the edge of the cliff. He looks up to see Salluk climbing down with his spiked claws.
Sora and Naruto looked down. Naruto smiled and said to Sora. "I have an idea Sora." As he climbed down to save Aladdin. "Naruto get back here."
He landed with equal balance on the same ledge as Aladdin, filing his claws out of the stone, leaving deep scratch marks. Aladdin felt trapped like a rat as Saluk crept his way over to him.
"Ha-ha-ha-ha, its over, boy." said Saluk. "Hope you've made your peace." His claw rose high.
"Guess again, ugly!" Naruto shouted.
When Naruto dropped down, he raised his dagger over his head and slashed down, landing on the same ledge as Salluk, who fell forward, making Aladdin jump to his dagger, gripping it tightly as he raised his feet and kicked Salluk's chest further, throwing him off balance. As Saluk desperately tried to regain, Aladdin dropped down and reached out to save him. But Salluk fell back and fell down to the crashing waves beneath them, his scream slowly dying down. Angry with himself for not having saved him sooner, Aladdin lowered his head in shame. The same could be said of Naruto, who didn't expect Salluk to fall to his death like Aladdin. Kneeling beside him, he placed his hand on his shoulder.
"Hey, Aladdin, you okay?" Naruto asked. Aladdin knelt up and nodded his head.
"Yeah, I'm fine." said Aladdin. An end of a rope dropped down on their heads and Naruto handed it to him, letting him go first. As Aladdin began his climb up, he grabbed his dagger and pulled it out, staring Sora standing up asking "Are you guys okay?" They nodded.
Then at their reflection within the blade for a moment then sheathed it and continued his way up with Sora following behind him. As they reached up to the top, they gasped in surprise to the see the Forty Thieves surround them, all wearing a sinister smile while some deftly spinning the tip of their daggers against their fingertips. This was no doubt good for them.
"I thought our side won!" Iago cried.
"Look, we.." Aladdin stuttered, trying to find the words to explain, along with Sora and Naruto.
"We didnt mean" said Naruto, and then the Forty Thieves ganged up on them, picking them up off their feet and just carried them above them, guiding them back to their lair, along with Iago and Abu. Back in the lair, the boys were held before Cassim; his arms crossed strong and heavily across his chest, looking down at them with a sinister glare on his face as if he was looking through his mask.
"The three of you have killed Saluk." said Cassim, his arms crossed. "The Code of the Forty Thieves is very clear on this point." He uncrossed his arms as he stomped down the stairs. Aladdin and Sora believed that he would do some terrible to them. He stood before them, looking hard into their eyes and a smile grew on his face.
"You're in." said Cassim. Their eyes widened up in surprise as they were let go and the Forty Thieves cheered in an uproar, some padding their shoulders and shaking their hand. Cassim walked in between The Three Heroes, his arms held behind them.
"Follow me, boys, there's something I want to show you." He said.
"Sure." said Aladdin. Cassim led the way with Sora, Aladdin, Naruto, Carpet, Iago, and Abu following behind them.
Sharks were swimming in the calm, silent sea with the moon reflecting its shine on the watery surface. The sharks started to circle something that could be seen under the water when one of the sharks was suddenly dragged under. The other shark went swimming under when something dug its black claw in its chest and threw the dead shark on the beach. The figure made its way to the beach's shore at a slow pace.. The light of the moon then shined on his face, revealing the appearance of this creature.
It was Saluk. After he killed the shark he stopped to catch his breath.
"So... The dobe defeated you." Saluk looked up to see whose voice that was and sees two figures. One's a sixteen-year-old boy with a turban on his head in an Organization XIII coat. The other has a similar coat but he his hood Saluk groans in annoyance.
"It is you, Uchiha..." He said. "What do you two want?" The hooded man released his hood and it was revealed to be Saix. One of the original Organization XIII members returned.
"To assist you."
Yep... Sasuke is back in the story. He will have a fight with Naruto but it won't happen till a couple of chapters. I am also gonna have Sasuke have a rivalry with Riku. When? You'lll find out. Until then, enjoy this. BTW I have been watching RespectoGreg's Rise and fall of Naruto and he is so spot on with what he said about Sasuke.
