Naruto : The Renegade

Can I Be Your Grandson?

In The Sea

It was dark and the Tides were high when Naruto suddenly woke up. There were storms clouds and thunder woke him up. He went to the deck to see tides that were at an all-time high, on that rocking boat went Naruto tried to see far away but thick mists were covering it, "Shit! Can't see anything, Kyuubi a little help!"

"Brat, the mist has no chakra in it, but there is a layer of chakra after it," Kyuubi said, Naruto hummed and sighed in relief knowing that, they were not in Kiri's territory. Then the layer of chakra intrigued him but he decided to file it for later. Right now he was trying to stabilize his boat in these dangerous tides, the boat rocking was not helping him, sticking his chakra to the surface he started packing, and put everything in the seal that was on his chest, which was waterproof in the case of a shipwreck he could always run on water.

"Okay, this is getting worse!" He exclaimed in frustration as the boat started drifting wildly while he failed to steer it. Suddenly the boat was pushed towards the mist while he was trying to steer it out of the mist but was failing miserably. "Come on! Come on!" He shouted trying to steer it but failing at it miserably then suddenly lighting stroked at the water near the boat which was already damaged due to the waves so the lightning was a cherry on top. "That was very close to my liking!"

As the roaring waves carried the boat he saw something that almost looked like a ship, a big ship that was made of Iron! "Hey um, buddy you seeing that?" Naruto said to the fox. "Yes, certainly it is weird, never seen a metal ship! in my life!" The Kyuubi exclaimed. Naruto was a bit surprised by that statement as he thought the fox would surely know about these kinds of ships since he lived for so long. Then suddenly he saw the huge ship ride a massive wave towards them, and as it rose to the highest point it exploded. Naruto was frozen at the spot because of the explosion and did not see a huge shadow over him and was too late when he heard, "Brat look above! Watch out!"

At the 'Metal ship'

Mearsyr was a cargo ship that left the Surat port days ago, bringing some cargo to Japan, usually, they took the route of the South China Sea but due to border tensions, they had to choose the long route. From the Panama strait, a route that most sailors said was cursed during the rainy season and it being early August the season was there but still they thought it to be a legend and carried on their journey. On the journey, they did feel the air change a lot of time. Sometimes it was as hot as the wind blowing in the desert or sometimes as cold as it is in a snowstorm but did not seem to mind it since they thought it was due to the oceanic currents, so, they continued their voyages not heeding to the legends.

Legends are often stories that are passed down from generation to generation as stories to be told to their children as a type of bedtime story, but if one takes a closer look at them one can find that in every moral in any legend, there is a warning or teaching in there, so when they left without heeding the warning of elders and thought it was going to be ok, they were being the biggest idiots one could find. Oh well, money does blind people (anyway back to the plot!).

They started their journey from Surat, their route was from Surat to Maldives then to Indonesia then touching Australia they reached Japan, as they set course one thing they did notice was there was an extra engineer on board but thought nothing of it, as they say 'the more, the merrier' so they let him in, not knowing they were letting someone in that would tow with their lives and kill them.

As the pit stop at Maldives came to an end, the beginning of the end for Mearsyr started. Once they left the Indian peninsula and crossed the Lankan waters to the international waters of the Indian Ocean, the waves started to increase in length and intensity and the ship started swinging and oscillating. Then they entered a misty area where their visual range dropped to zero, the only thing they could see was the dense mist. Then as to mess with them lightning raining down on them.
