Chapter 2: Buster Call, a Failure?

Walking out of the portal and taking his first step into his home dimension, Naruto was met by a strange sight. He had appeared on an island which should have been where the first Hiraishin marker was, that island from long ago with the giant trees and giant animals. Instead, he saw that where his Hiraishin mark should have been, there was a large stone block. Into it were etched in triple coded ninja code from Sunagakure. Wondering why this object had been placed here, Naruto read the encryption.

It wasn't anything too important, just a description on Suna's history about a hundred years after he left. The entire thing was basically a description on how ninja society operated and some random bits about certain ninja.

The most interesting part about the block was the small layer of solidified chakra coating it. It would allow the block to be impenetrable by any form of attack and could only be destroyed through the use of a chakra enhanced physical attack.

Naruto didn't really care for the block all too much so he decided to leave the room he was currently in. Opening the door and stepping outside, Naruto noted that the entire building (if that's what it was) was built into a tree and housed enough books to rival the Great Library of Konoha. He also noticed that the few people who had been in the building were staring at him as he walked out of the room.

Seeing as to how everyone was too shocked to make a move, Naruto spoke first. "Hi." Thus releasing the gates holding back the flood. All the people in the room, which were technically about half a dozen men, charged up to the blonde and started asking him questions. "How did you get in that room?" "Are you one of the Marines?" "Who sent you here?"

Naruto was quite thrown back by the flood of human contact. Not having communicated in the last 1200 years (400 in training and 800 asleep), the blonde was not ready for the outpouring of conversation. So, he simply did what he did best. He shunshined away (seal-lessly he was proud to say) and hid behind a bookcase.

Considering his options, Naruto decided that it would probably be best if he introduced himself properly. Yet he would have to make an alias, just in case there were any problems. Coming out from behind the bookcase, Naruto approached the men who were standing speechless and staring at the spot he had been.

It took some time to calm the people down and managed to introduce himself as Minato Namikaze. He stated he didn't know why he had appeared in the room (a half-truth). He was sure he had just woken up and had somehow managed to wind up there (another half-truth) accidentally. It turned out that the island was named Ohara. After some more questions which Naruto easily avoided, he was allowed to stay on the island and read the books in the library. Naruto thanked the people and got to work acquiring whatever knowledge he had missed out on.

When he used his first jutsu, Naruto knew he had already messed up. Summoning up a hundred clones, he sent them to read the books when one of the men (now known to be Professor Clover, identified by his clover hairstyle), asked him whether he was a Devil Fruit user. Naruto had asked what a devil fruit was which the professor explained. Naruto replied that no, he was not a devil fruit user since he could still swim. This caused even more questions into how Naruto was able to do what he did, which took a lot of effort to avoid answering.

While his clones studied up on the nature of this timeline, Naruto decided to head outside and see where he was. Sitting by a cliff, he turned on his Sage Mode and Byakugan to check out the island. He noticed that he was indeed still on the same island, but there was one big change. While the island used to have a large amount of senjutsu chakra flowing through it, now it was almost all gone. The only two sources of chakra he could see was the giant tree that he had just come out of and a small blip somewhere on the island, and even then they were pretty weak.

Seeing how the tree was okay even though the base of it was carved out, Naruto decided to take a more scenic tour around the island. The Byakugan (which had taken forever for the blonde to make his own version) showed the world in black and white and it was always better to see the world in color.

He walked around the island, looking at the trees and wildlife, before heading back to the treehouse. On his way back, he saw a little girl reading by herself on a bench near the treehouse. Naruto then saw four kids run up and start yelling at the girl, calling her a "monster". Then they even began throwing rocks.

This made Naruto furious. He remembered being bullied as a kid and it was one of the worst experiences in the world. He had thought that the world here was peaceful after all he had done but seeing kids calling another kid a monster, it made him angry.

"What do you kids think you're doing?" Naruto asked the four kids as he walked up to them. All four kids and the girl being bullied all turned to face the blonde, who was now standing around 3 feet to the left of the bullies and the girl.

"None of your business outsider!" the kid who looked to be the leader said. "This girl here is a monster!"

"What right do you have to say that!" Naruto shouted, stunning all five children. "There's no way you could understand what a real monster is. I've seen true monsters in my life. And I can say for a fact that she isn't one of them."

Naruto then turned to the girl who was being bullied. "Hey, come with me. I think we should go meet Professor Clover" he said with a genuine smile. The girl smiled back and stood up before grabbing Naruto's hand and walking towards the treehouse, her book in her other hand, leaving the other kids behind speechless.

"I already know the professor" the child said, looking up at the blond with her round eyes and her gentle little smile. "He's the one who loaned me this book."

Well that made his life easier. "Well that's good. By the way, my name's Na… Minato. Minato Namikaze. What's your name?"

"Nico Robin" the girl said before she looked away, her smile falling away. "That's what my mother named me. But my parents are gone and now I'm just by myself with my uncle and aunt who hate me. Everybody thinks I'm a monster because of my powers. Well, everyone except for the professors at the Tree of Knowledge."

As the kid kept talking, Naruto's heart went out for Robin. They were so similar in so many ways. They had both been orphans from an early age. They were both hated by the community for reasons that were beyond their control. And, even though circumstances were bleak, the two had found refuge in the professor(s) and managed to maintain a happy demeanor.

They managed to get to the treehouse all too fast. Robin gave back the book she had been reading to the professor who had been right in front of the entrance, promising to come back the next day. As she was leaving, Naruto made a decision. He had seen during the conversation that Robin had a considerable amount of chakra (which would explain who that blip had been on his sensing radar earlier) and rushed over to her.

"Robin" Naruto said, startling the poor girl. He placed a hand on her shoulder and she turned around to face him. "How would you like to learn to fend for yourself?"

After a moment of silence, Robin gave a small smile and looked him in the eyes. "Thank you, but don't worry, I can fend for myself." Then she sprouted arms from all over her body.

… Wait… She sprouted arms all over her body?! Naruto rubbed his eyes and even released a small amount of chakra to see if there was a genjutsu on him. But no, it was all real, the girl in front of him was basically using the Asura Path from the Rinnegan, sending chakra to different parts of her body to "sprout" limbs in different areas. And she didn't even have a Rinnegan!

Seeing as to how no one was watching (the professor had gone inside and closed the door), Naruto decided to show the little girl a trick. Turning on his own Rinnegan (henged so no one could see), Naruto used his own Asura Path. But he added his own little trick and made his arm pop up on Robin's stomach, which then proceeded to tickle her.

The girl's look of complete shock at seeing the arm was replaced by laughter when the offending limb tickled her, causing all the arms she had grown from herself reach out and grab Naruto's arm to make it stop tickling her. Naruto made it look like the girl succeeded, much to her relief.

Robin looked up at the man who had just copied her devil fruit powers. No, not only copied, but made better! Naruto could see that his little attack had left an impression on the girl if her wide (almost sparkly) eyes were anything to go by.

"Tomorrow. 10am. In front of the Tree of Knowledge." Robin said to Naruto, making the blonde smile and rub the girl's head (with his real arm, the Asura Path arms were all gone). Robin tensed up for a moment but then had a small blush before turning around and walking as fast as casually possible away from him.

The next few weeks went by rather quickly. Within the first week Naruto's clones had finished up with the library and were now going to whatever Hiraishin markers they could find to seek out whatever they could find elsewhere. Naruto also trained Robin in her Asura path techniques along with some chakra manipulation exercises. Here, Naruto made a new discovery. Upon training Robin, Naruto found that, while Robin could expand her chakra reservoirs, she could not manipulate chakra in any other way than the Asura Path.

This was quite a surprise to the blonde and, upon further study of her chakra system, found that Robin did not, in fact, have a true chakra system but rather an artificial one, as if someone had come and placed a super specific system into her body. Naruto also learned more about the devil fruits from Robin and decided that he would never eat one else he might damage his own chakra system.

Two months went by in this manner, Naruto learning more about the world from wherever his clones were Hiraishin-ing to and training Robin in expanding her chakra reservoirs and manipulating the Asura Path. The girl clung to him like he was a lifeline, following him around even when they weren't training. Robin had even started reading less in preference to talking with the blonde.

At the end of those two months, a strange occurrence happened on the island. A giant, which Naruto had only seen in books so far, appeared on the northwestern coast, washed up by the waves. Robin was actually the one to find said giant first, offering her hand in friendship. Naruto recognized the giant to be Jaguar D. Saul, a Marine vice-admiral, but did not point it out to either of them.

Robin had also seemed quite upset that day after learning that she would not be allowed to become a scholar even though she had learned to decode triple coded Sunagakure ninja codes (which was pretty amazing). To help the girl feel better, after her visit with Saul, Naruto taught the girl how to make her own coded messages in quadruple coded Sunagakure ninja codes. The girl was stunned that he knew how to read a Poneglyph (which these people seemed to call the rocks) in the first place but gratefully accepted the offer.

When Robin was not present that day, Naruto went back to the giant and made sure he was not here to hurt anyone. He had learned from his books and clones' experiences that the Marines were sometimes arrogant and evil people, doing "justice" in whatever way they saw fit. Some marines even seemed like they were the next coming of Pain (aka Nagato), bringing terror and pain to people in the name of "justice" to "remove all pain" in the world.

He was relieved to hear that Saul was not here to harm them and managed to get some information from the giant, namely that the Marines were planning to destroy Ohara via the Buster Call. Seeing as to how big a problem that could be, Naruto decided to make preparations for that day.

A few days later, Nico Olvia showed up warning everyone that the Buster Call was headed their way. Naruto had already seen the Marines on their way and was finishing up his preparations. When he saw CP9 headed towards the Tree of Knowledge, Naruto enacted the first part of his plan. Using a giant Kamui, Naruto sucked up the entire tree and all the books inside into his pocket dimension, having his clones kawarimi with the professors to get them out of the treehouse as it was sucked up.

The CP9 stopped dead in their tracks as the giant tree seemed to be eaten up by space itself, making the tree and everything inside disappear. They had never seen anything like this before, and noted that the power was around the strength of an Admiral. This did not deter them as they turned and headed towards the professors who had somehow made it outside the tree. Should a Poneglyph be discovered, their mission was to leave no one alive. Since the Poneglyph had vanished, that was enough supporting evidence that the people of Ohara were guilty.

Naruto then enacted the second part of his plan. He once again kawarimi-ed his clones in for the professors, putting the professors far away and using henge to look like the professors. The CP9 engaged the Ohara professors and were shocked when they fought back. Not only did they fight back, they were better than them. These old coots who looked like they'd rather keel over than throw a punch destroyed the ranks of the strongest force in the World Government.

Saul ran out onto the coast from wherever he had been only to find that the tree was already gone. He was about to go berserk on the Navy ships when he noticed that the professors were all still alive and had managed to hold off the CP9. 'Who knew the old guys had it in them?' the giant thought. Scooping up Robin, who was watching everything play out, Saul ran away from the battle and towards his raft. Naruto then completed his plans by having the professors/clones beat the CP9 and every Marine present, loaded all the Marines onto their boats, and Hiraishin-ed them back all the way to Marineford.

He helped with the evacuation of Ohara and made sure everyone got out alive. Nico Olvia, Robin's mother, demanded to stay with him as he went towards where he remember Saul to be. There, he saw Nico Robin and Saul waiting for them at Saul's raft.

"She refused to leave without you" Saul said as Nico Robin ran up and hugged the blonde, which he returned. There was a short awkward moment when Nico Olvia and Nico Robin met but it ended with Robin and Olvia making up and becoming family once more.

Setting up the raft, Jaguar D. Saul, Nico Robin, Nico Olvia, and Naruto Uzumaki (still concealed as Minato Namikaze) all set sail out into the ocean blue, off to who knows where, content with simply being in each other's presence.

Three photos sat in front of Fleet Admiral Thunder showing Nico Robin and Nico Olvia, Jaguar D. Saul, and an unknown blonde. He had heard about the vice-admiral's defection and the Buster Call's failure. Nobody knew what had happened other than the fact that the people of Ohara had been more prepared than any of them had realized. A bounty was placed on the head of every single person from Ohara.

The only guess he could make on the matter was that Saul had arrived to Ohara early and trained the people there in combat. Thus, Saul would have to be stopped. Vice Admiral Saul was given a bounty of 84,000,000 beli, Nico Olvia and Nico Robin were given bounties of 37,000,000 beli each (if either of these two were caught, there was a good chance they would get Saul. Plus, those two knew how to read Poneglyph which was dangerous). The only oddity was the blonde man.

Reports showed that the boy was standing off to the side during the entire encounter and had coordinated the escape for all the people of Ohara even though he was not from Ohara. What made the boy so special was that records showed nobody on Ohara, except for Nico Robin, had devil fruit abilities. If his sources were right, an Admiral level devil fruit power to open up rips in space time (which was not Nico Robin's ability) had been recorded at the scene of the battle. Thus, it was logical to conclude that the blonde had been the one to open up the vortex.

On top of all that, his reports showed sightings of the blonde all over the world prior to the incident. Weeks ago the blonde was found walking about Mariejois. The blonde, according to a World Noble, had threatened the World Noble after seeing him reprimand a slave. Then, the blonde simply disappeared. No pictures or any other proof other than the World Noble's words (and his slave's, although forced) were recorded, thus the blonde had gotten away.

Then, the blonde, which the marines were told to keep a lookout for, suddenly appeared all over the world at same points in time, destroying an uninhabited island here and found reading in a library there. It was mass chaos as when a Marine tried to approach one, the blonde vanished! These incidents were enough to give Fleet Admiral Thunder headaches even without the Ohara incident.

'Better safe than sorry' Thunder thought, writing down the sum for the blonde's bounty on his new bounty paper. He gave the four special bounties and the general bounty of 1,000,000 beli for every Oharan survivor to the marine next to him, who hurried out of the room to get them printed.

'Hopefully' the Fleet Admiral thought, 'we'll have smooth sailings from here.'

Hello everyone, hope you like the fast update! As I said, I only write when I feel like it so don't be expecting any updates tomorrow (although I might just make another soon).

I let everyone on Ohara live, for the time being. With their bounties, they'll probably all be captured sooner or later, since they aren't really martial arts masters. Saul and Robin's mom made it out alive too, along with the Tree of Knowledge. I'm planning to keep Naruto's crew in his pocket dimension via Kamui when they aren't needed or they might just stay on a boat together. What do you think?

I know some people are going to complain that Naruto when he was a recent graduate of the ninja academy was not this strong. However, let me remind you that Naruto had huge amounts of chakra and was reknown in the academy for being good at hand to hand combat. Couple that with centuries of experience and, even when he's out of whack from the long years sleeping, he's still super powerful even though they are CP9.

Next I'm planning to take Naruto's new group to the Red Line where they'll meet Fisher Tiger and help him destroy the Holy Land of Mariejois! I personally highly dislike the World Nobles and would be more than happy to shrink their numbers and destroy their homeland.

Robin will be leaving Naruto's crew way down the line to work with Crocodile. The reason being that I don't want to ruin the canon storyline for One Piece by stealing Nico Robin. Robin belongs in the Straw Hats just as much as Zoro or Chopper or anybody.

Also, I want your guys' opinions on what Naruto's bounty should be. The Marines think he is a devil fruit user who can create space rifts, almost like Bartolomeo Kuma. He has also, reportedly, threatened a World Noble. (His bounty will also go up after the Mariejois incident coming up.) Please take all this into consideration when reviewing.

Thanks for all your support everybody and I'll see you next chapter!
