Title: Shinobi of the Six Moons
Rating: M
Pairings: TBD
Summary: A mysterious girl on a mission, a boy displaced from his home, and a pair of Air Pirates set out to take on the adventure of a lifetime. Welcome to the Skies of Arcadia!
Hey all... So I'm going to say this right now. The title isn't a clever play on words I literally just thought Naruto's a Shinobi and there are six moons instead of Naruto is a sage and they are six moons. Next, this is about the 'artists' that have become something of a problem lately In the past 12 hours- as of writing this- I've had no less than 4 Artists PM me, try and glaze me, and basically get me to agree to 'partner' with them and have them do artwork for these stories.
I'll make this simple WHEN and IF I want art for these stories i'll put the call out or i'll go with my IRL contacts or artists I've spoken with in the past and like their artwork. So ya'll can keep PMing me I'm gonna ignore it.
Now review response
Spark681: Thank you and as for his role... well it will be a lot of stuff. I will have to play with the lord of the world. While the established map Of SOA:L is pretty big there is a lot of uncertainty about the wider world of Arcadia. But I think that's more due to the era and game Limitations
I'm not a Pirate!" speech
I'm a ninja! Thought
Moons give me Strength!" Magic/Jutsu/Special attacks!

Chapter 2: So Blue
The Silver Confederation existed under the light of the Silver Moon. Those who lived under this light believed they were children and descendants of the Ancient Silver Civilization. Of course, they had no way of knowing this for sure as the tracing of lineages was a relatively new thing that only the nobles of Valua and the ruler of Nasr followed. Those who lived under the umbrella of the Silver Moon and followed the laws of the Silver Confederation had only been doing so for about 100 years with the Chief of the Confederation being an elected official from the 100 Islands that made up the Confederation.
Unlike the Vast Valua Armada, the Silver Confederation Military was made up of second-hand warship from 2 generations ago and renovated fishing vessels that protected their own home islands. The largest part of the Militia was 15 ships with each island contributing one or two ships to the Milita that sailed the Silver Confederation territory constantly
The Dyne Family Pirates had no official say in the Silver Confederation or with the Milita, but they often took on the Armada or sent word if something was happening in the area if they caught wind of it. Thanks to this the Dyne Family Pirates didn't have to many run-ins with the Militia unless it was with the Faction that supported Valua's views on piracy.
It helped that The Dyne Family's Territory was well clear of most of the Valua support Faction.
Location: Mid-ocean
Place: Albatross- Brigg
Time: Late morning- two days after the raid
Metal on metal was the sound that could be heard in the brig as two people sat there as they had for the past several hours. Naruto sat in one of the cells, inside of a meditative stance, while Mabel sat in a chair sharpening one of her bowie knives.
Mabel was only a few years older than Vyse and Aika at 20 years old. She was slightly shorter than Aika with a much fuller figure, an angular face that gave her a more seductive look when paired with her cherry red lips and dark green eye shadow, her long dark hair was pulled into a ponytail at the top of her head, a lime green headband with two purple gems in it wrapped around her head, a lime green vest that hugged her chest and showed off her midriff, matching short-shorts that exposed a good amount of mile-long legs, purple elbow length gloves, and ankle high boots
Mabel wasn't too keen on guard duty and would rather swab the deck, or be on guard duty. It was less boring than watching the cute guy sitting there with his eyes closed and his hands clasped together.
Even if he was good looking a petty face was only entertaining for so long. If he had tried to flirt with her it would have been pretty fun. At least he was good-looking. They had given him a bucket of water, soap, and fresh clothes. He cleaned up nicely enough. After the cold cloth bath, he now wore a pair of black cargo pants and a white shirt, a dark blue jacket, he still had his headband with the swirl and arrow pointed on it, a green necklace.
Mabel examined her knife, before before sheathing it on her thigh holster. It had been two days since they had their run-in with the Valuans. After stripping the ship of all of its essential items and fuel, they left just enough reserve fuel and rations to get them back to Valua provided they were not attacked again. The girl hadn't woken yet and the crew doctor said that it was likely that she would be sleeping for a few days. However, Naruto had been awake the entire time and he had not tried anything and spent most of his time meditating.
"Hey if you're going to sit there can you at least talk to me Foxy, this is boring!" sang Mabel leaning forward giving a generous view of her cleavage to the man sitting in the cell.
Foxy- as she had taken to calling him- opened his eyes and looked at her. "I figured that your boss wouldn't allow you to talk to a prisoner like me," said Foxy...eh Naruto.
Mabel smiled and shrugged her shoulders. "You're not a prisoner... Not really. Captain Dyne is just a... cautious man. I mean he has a lot of people to protect and not just on this ship either,"
"Sounds like my kind of guy," said Naruto.
"Glad to hear it," came a voice from the brigg entrance.
Mabel snapped too. "Cap'n,"
"Mabel, I'm relieving you of Guard duty for the day. Briggs has the orders on the things that need to be handled today. I want to have a little chat with our friend here," said Dyne giving Mabel a look that left no room for argument.
"Aye Aye Cap'n," said Mabel leaving the room and shutting the door behind them.
Dyne took a seat in the vacant chair and looked at Naruto with a stare that would have done the veteran Jonin of the leaf proud. The man was all business and he didn't tolerate bullshit. Dyne unstrapped the pistol on his hip and set it on the table facing Naruto as well as Naruto's headband.
"So that's where my headband got to," said Naruto.
"Indeed. Young man I'm going to ask you some questions and at if any time during our little chat I think you're lying to me I'm putting a bullet right between your eyes and will throw your body to the deep sky personally," said the man.
Naruto sighed. The jinchiruki figured that it would be best to go along with this guy for now. Naruto didn't know how the man before him registered as a threat compared to someone like Madara or even Rabbit-Granny, but without access to nature Chakra than there was a good chance that if this guy was half as smart or strong as Madara, then it would be a fight that could be the end of Naruto's life. The only ability that he currently had access to was his ability to Sensor and emotion-sensing abilities
"Sir... um... Captain," started Naruto.
The pirate held up his hand. "Stop. Only those who sail under the Dyne Family Flag are allowed to call me that. You are not part of my family nor are you under my Family's protection. You can call me Dyne,"
"It's just as well Dyne. I've never been too big on people's titles anyway. I always liked to judge a person on their actions," said Naruto.
Dyne smirked. "That would work if you were the one doing the interrogations, but you're in my house right now lad," said Dyne.
"Then as your son probably already pointed out I'm Uzumaki Naruto. Uzumaki is my family name," said Naruto.
"That's a bit strange. I don't know of any pirates or families named Uzumaki. Nobles from Valua and Nasr normally have family names. You have the looks of a Valuan, but your accent and manner give away that you have never been to those lands. What moon do you hail from?" asked Dyne.
For those who resided under the Silver Moon it was a common practice to their Mother or Father's name as a last name depending on the gender of the parent. Vyse's true name was Vyse Dyne according to the records of the Silver Confederation, but that was all they really had on them. A few members of the SC knew that they were pirates, but so long as they steered clear of certain territories and islands they were mostly left alone.
Naruto knitted his eyebrows. "I don't hail from any moon. I hail from the Land of Fire in the Elemental Nation," said Naruto.
"Never heard of it. If you mean the Lands of the Red Moon you would say Nasr, but I figured that you are not from there. Your speech pattern is all wrong. From Vyse and Aika's report, you fought using Blue Moon Magic or Wave Magic, but you called it Wind Jutsu. I've never heard of someone using the term jutsu before and i've seen Four Moons," said Dyne.
"And I've never heard of Moon Magic. Up until three days ago, I was in the middle of fighting a war with the Akatsuki Organization, the white Zetsu Army, Uchiha Madara, and Granny Kaguya," said Naruto.
Dyne frowned at this. Akatsuki Organization? Uchiha Madara? Granny Kaguya? A war? That was impossible. Between the Silver Confederation, Nasr, and Valua any type of war would have been known the world over within days. Scuffles between Nasr and Valua were commonplace, but outright wars had become a thing of the past since the Valua-Nasr war. Neither side had been able to gain a true advantage and after Nasr's Seige on the Grand Fortress, the war ended in a cease-fire. That was 40 years ago. Shortly after Dyne had been born.
In his 42 years of Life, Dyne had become quite astute at reading people. And it was scary how much Naruto believed in what he was saying. So either A Naruto was delusional, which Dyne HIGHLY doubted or there was another land that they were unaware of and there was so much more going on in their tiny corner of the world.
"Naruto... I am responsible for not just my son and my crew. My home base holds the entire Dyne Pirate family. While my crew is only 30 strong I am the protector of almost 100 people. Some who I founded this crew with, and others I held just days after they were born. They are my treasures and I will do anything to protect them. I don't know you, but I can see that you are an honorable young man," said Dyne.
"How can you tell that?" asked Naruto. "For all you know I could be hiding it from you well," said Naruto.
"It's in your eyes. You are... pure. You've killed. No one who can fight like you did has a clean soul, but you are not out there to fight for blood or glory. You're just a young man who enjoys fighting to some extent. If I allow you to walk around my ship, under guard of course will you promise me not to bring any harm to my people,"
Naruto looked at Dyne and nodded. "I give you my world and Uzumaki Naruto never goes back on his word," said Naruto holding out his hand in a balled fist.
Dyne looked at the fist and smiled. "I guess handshakes are not common in your homeland," said Dyne fist bumping Naruto.
Naruto grinned. "Not in the slightest," said Naruto.
Galley
Mabel sat at a table with Aika, Vyse, and Luke. Like Aika and Vyse Luke was a childhood friend of Mabel's. They had all been born in relatively the same time frame with Mabel being the oldest of the quartet tended to smoother them from time to time and was prone to teasing them.
Luke was the big brother of their friend group and was quite protective of his little sibs. The few times they had been to other islands in the Silver Confederation and Mid-Ocean area he was the most likely to throw the first punch if they had been slighted. He was the same height as Vyse and was a bit bulkier than he was. Brown hair pulled into a ponytail, He wore a red shirt and green pants and a large brown gunner belt, but in several pockets were several throwing knives that Luke was known for using
The Foursome made up the main raiders of the Dyne Family. Outside of the vets, they were the best fighters of the crew. The four of them had taken down Black Pirate crews, armed merchant vessels and the like.
"You've been spending a lot of time around that guy in the brig," said Luke.
"What of it Luky?" asked Mabel smirking.
Luke shrugged. "Just saying that you've been keeping a close eye on that guy," said Luke.
Aika smirked and leaned forward before her facial features took on a cat-like look and smile. "Can you blame her Luke. I mean Naruto is kinda cute," said Aika.
"What about that girl... Fina was it? She's a hot little thing. I think I even saw Luke undressing her, not that anyone can blame him, those clothes are as beautiful as they are sexy," said Mabel.
Luke glared at Mabel. "Go jump on your boy toy wench
Aika and Vyse burst out laugh
Mabel turned to the laughing duo and smirked. "You know what they say best friends of the opposite sex make the best lovers. Who knows Aika, maybe Vyse can do more than watch your back on a raid
," Mabel said.
Aika and Vyse blushed while Luke busted out laughing. Aika puffed out her cheeks and glared at Luke, before kicking him under the table. Luke yelled in pain and glared at Aika.
"I'm glad you lot are so lively," said Dyne walking into the Galley with Naruto behind him.
"Cap'n. We were just enjoying our break you could use a break as well," said Aika smiling at Dyne and waving at him.
"Uh-huh. Well we can't all be so carefree Aika," said Dyne.
"So Cap'n why is our guest out of his cell?" asked Luke. Not being disrespectful, just curious.
"Naruto has decided that he will be a polite guest. As long as someone is with him I will allow him to walk around the ship. Speaking of which I extended the same curtisoy to Fina and she expressed an interest in getting some fresh air. Aika go and get Fina and take her on deck Vyse your to report to Briggs for wheel duty. We're a few hours away from home. Luke go help with the rigging.
"Aye aye," said the group as they left to fulfill their duties.
Mabel smiled. "Follow me Foxy.
As Mabel walked away she put an extra seay in her hips just to keep foxy's attention on her backside.
Deck of the ship
Mabel opened the door of the ship that lead to the deck as Naruto walked out. As he did he was instantly blasted by the winds. While not strong at all, it was still enough to make Naruto rush to the deck and look over the edge of the ship. He had been on ships a fair few times during his training trip with Jiraiya as well as handling a few missions. He had seen the seas between the lands, the Sea that led to the Land of Spring, but what he saw took his breath away.
They were in the sky. No not just in the sky, they were above the clouds, and above them was another layer of clouds that was just thin enough to let the light of the sun through. Enough to make it look as bright as some on the brightest days in Konoha. More than that, he felt the world. It was hard to explain, but it felt like it was both happy and sad, in pain and perfectly fine. He would have to figure that out later, but for now, he was enjoying the feel of the wind on his skin.
"Whoa," said Naruto.
"Yea,h the view is pretty awesome Ruto. Welcome to the Mid-Ocean located under the Silver Moon," said Mabel leaning on the railing of the ship and moving a lock of hair out of her face.
"I've never seen anything like this," said Naruto.
Mabel looked at him strangely. There were few people who didn't know the skies. "Well Ruto we have a saying back home, Those who are foolish enough to disrespect the Skies will know the fury of the Deep," said Mabel as she moved her hair out of her eyes.
Naruto looked at Fina as she walked out onto the deck with Aika.
Naruto walked over to Fina, who held a hand up shielding her face from the winds. Naruto felt it as he looked at her. she was kind. no negativity existed in her soul. If anything... her soul was a pure as Haku' was.
"Hey miss, I think I owe you my life," said Naruto grinning as he looked at Fina.
Fina looked at Naruto. "Oh... you're that man who fell from the sky, I'm glad you're okay," said Fina.
Naruto smiled. "Thanks to you, I don't have to see the Pure Lands for another day," said Naruto.
Fina tilted her head slightly. "Pure lands?" asked Fina.
Naruto smiled at her. "We can talk about it another day. I'm Naruto. Uzumaki Naruto," said Naruto holding out his hand.
Fina smiled at Naruto before taking his hand. "Hello Naruto... My name is Fina.

And cut. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. As I said in the start I had to play with the lore of Skies of Arcadia a bit. For anyone who wants to know about the world or more lore there is a Youtube video out there that has all the cut senses and shortened battles in it. Now I will admit that I have not watched it myself, but it's probably the closest you can get without owning the game. It will give you a slight basis for where I'm changing or adding lore.
Next chapter will have us on Pirate Isle and I'll be adding some things just to pad out the story and hopefully change some things that would have made no sense otherwise.
PEACE
