  'So I o make sure everyone from my side is safe and sound by the end of this and all my targets dead or captured? This is going to be tough but it's doable… Hmm… It seems I'll have to keep an eye on everyone during the battle. Regardless, the experiend blueprints are worth it. I'm going to do this mission anyway so might as well accept this.'

  With that Daichi mentally accepted the quest and prepared himself. The Leaf Shinobi didn't have to wait long before they saw the first enemy ship.

  Kakashi looked at the pirate ship sailing in the distand spoke. "This is it. Daichi and I will hahat one a you guys at the rendezvous point."

  "You got it. I know you don't but good luck Kakashi" Guy nodded with a smile. The Jonin turo look at the ship which suddenly ged dires and was heading for them. "Looks like your target is ing straight for you. How nice of them. Neji, how many do you see in that ship? Give us their number and position."

  The Hyuga Genin quickly used his Kekkei Genkai arieved the intel needed. "There are 8 people below deck, ed and in small cages. The hostages no doubt. There are 12 others who seem to be part of the pirate crew. Except for the captain none of them seems dangerous. Ordinary chakra reserves. They're looking to attack us. Mainly swords and a few have daggers as ons… The Captain has in level reserves and is wearing Armor simir to the other one."

  Neji pleted his report and shut off the Byakugan to serve chakra. At that moment Daichi created a shadow e and had it join Team Guy.

  Kakashi looked at the ining ship a out a small breath of air. "It's time, Daichi. Let's go greet them. Good luck with your end, Guy." With those words Kakashi vanished from the boat in a swirl of leaves.

  Daichi looked at the floating leaves and shook his head. 'Where did they even e from?... Eh. Whatever. I'm not going to question it.'

  "Good luck Daichi. Show them the power of the Leaf Ninjas." Lee shouted with a smile.

  The Gamer Genin nodded and following his teacher's example vanished from the ship the sed with a body flicker.

  After the two ninjas left Might Guy turo the man navigating the ship. "Alright Ishido. Time to head to the sed location."

  "You got it." Ishido looked at the other ship and prayed in his heart. 'Please let everything be alright.' He decided to trust the Leaf ninjas and just did as he was told.

  With Team Kakashi.

  The Pirate captain looked at the other ship ging course and was about to order his men to follow but stopped when two ninjas suddenly appeared in their midst. He reized them as the ones he saw standing on the deck of the other ship a few moments ago.

  "ho are these guys?" "How'd they get here?" Murmurs came from the crew. The Captain was silent as he looked at the newers.

  'Based on their attire and headband, they're Leaf ninjas. I 't believe the people on those isnds called for help even with us holding their families here. They'll pay.' The pirate captaihe strength of a high level ninja due to fighting the Lightning Twins. So he wasn't arrogant in front of them but he didn't show fear as well.

  Just as the Captain was them, Kakashi and Daichi were also paying attention to their surroundings. The Genin's eyes swept across the ded dismissed everyone except the man in charge. He looked at the man with the captain's coat and used his information gathering skill.

  'Observe'

  [LV.49] [Akamine Fumimaro]

  Age: 33

  HP: 5723 CP: 4980

  Affiliation: Gdiator pirates

  [Akamine Fumimaro used to be a in from the Hidden waterfall vilge. During a mission he faked his death to disappear and became a lone bandit sailing the sea he Land of Sea. Later he anded his own crew before beied by the rogue ninja Mazui and began serving under him. He is noirate uhe Gdiator Pirates led by the Lightning Twins. He is a shrewd merciless man who only cares for himself. He is wearing a Rare Rank armor made by Katsura Sadoshi.

  STR - 58

  AGI - 51

  INT - 38

  The physical stats maybe subjected to ge if chakra or teique is applied. ]

  Daichi read the info his system showed and he was far from impressed.

  'Hmm… So that's his story huh. Just another spineless idiot who couldn't hack it. Nothing special about him except the armor. I o see if sensei take him down without damaging it much. Let's see what that thing do. Observe.'

  [Power Armor] [Rare Item: Rank C]

  [The Power Armor is a Rare Raem created by Katsura Sadoshi. This item increase the defense of the wearer by redug the force of the ining attack by at most 80%. This armor absorbs the chakra from the physical attacks and uses it to increase the defense and speed of the wearer. Chakra costs to activate the funs of this armor are minimum. The armor is strong enough to withstand ordinary attacks from shuriken and kunai ons.

  tacks with force above a certain threshold break this armor.]

  "What do you Leaf Ninjas want?" Akamiepped forward and asked. His crew became quiet but the hold on their ons tightened and their muscles tensed.

  Kakashi gave the man an eye smile and replied. "Could you kindly release the prisoners you have here, lock yourselves up below ded give us trol of the ship?"

  The whole crew including the captain looked incredulous at that statement. 'Is this guy for real?' That was the general thought among them.

  Even Daichi looked sideways at his sensei and raised an eyebrow. 'He really knows how to fuck with people doesn't he.'

  The pirate captain Akamine gritted his teeth hearing that. "You think this a joke? I was going to iate with you before… But now I'll deal with you myself." 'Even if he is strong, my armor will help me fight him oerms. And this kid looks like he's a Genin. So when my men attack him, that Jonin's attention will be on his student. He'll be distracted and I'll take that opportunity to go for the kill.'

  "Men! Kill that brat. I'll fight him." Akamine poio the Jonin and gave the order.

  "Yes boss." "Get him…" Several members of the crew rushed at Daichi with their swords above their heads.

  Looking at the ining enemies Daichi spoke. "Sery to take him down without damaging that Armor. I want to study it." The Genin spoke in a low voice but his sensei clearly heard it.

  "I'll see what I do. Once you finish them off, head down stairs and free the hostages. Then lock these guys up in there. And make sure not to cause any damage to the ship."

  Hearing Kakashi's reply Daiodded and without wasting another sed rushed forward meeting the pirates halfway. The gamer ninjas used observe skill and saw that all of them were really strong for a civilian but they were nothing to a ninja like him.

  The captain also rushed at the Leaf Jonin. His sword poised to cut Kakashi in half but was blocked by the Jonin's Kunai. Sparks flew as the captain tried to push his bde forward but his attempt was futile. He tried to kick Kakashi's knee and break his leg but his strike was redirected. Akamine pulled the sword a for a horizontal ssh with the io cut the Jonin's head off but Kakashi easily evaded it. And so the battle between the pirate captain and Kakashi began.

  Meanwhile Daichi slid below a sword swing and grabbed the hand of the attag pirate. With Daichi's great strength it was easy to take the pirate off his feet, spin him around and toss him towards his panions. Several pirates went flying backwards while the others tried their best to kill the boy. The Genin easily weaved through the sloppy attacks and sword swings. He took a dagger from his iory and started sshing his enemy's tendons. Sihere were only 11 people, Daichi easily sliced through them like a hot khrough butter.

  With the first part of his task pleted the Genied a few es and had them take the incapacitated crew downstairs while he freed the prisoners. He freed the hostages from their s ahem out while he ed up the crew.

  As the Genin was pleting his assig Kakashi was studying his oppo. 'His fighting style is that of the average Genin. His teiques are sloppy. But what he has is defense and speed. That armor certainly is incredible. To be able to reduce the power of my puo such a degree and even augment the speed of the wearer. Whoever created this ge the bance of power between the 5 nations. He or she must be captured and if they're with the ehen they o be killed. This could bee a big problem otherwise. Especially if the other nations find out.'

  Kakashi side stepped and evaded the enemy bde a a powerful punch directly on top of the liver.

  "Gha!" Spit and blood flew from the captain's mouth as he was sent flying backwards and hit the mast. His sword flew from his grasp and nded far away.

  The Copyinja looked at the kneeling, coughing enemy and made a clusion. 'So that Armor has a limit. Hmm.. time to finish this.'

  Akamine slowly stood and gritted his teeth in anger as he looked at Kakashi. None of his attacks were getting through the Jonin's defenses. 'Shit! This guy is most probably a high level Jonin. Just like those bsted twins. Damn it. And it doesn't look like he'll let me go even if I surrender. My only choice is to kill him.'

  Suddenly the mahrough several seals. 'Genjutsu - ive perception.'

  The man slightly smirked as his chakra ected with the Jonin and put him under his trol. 'This illusion will make you think I'm moving in one dire when I'm going in the opposite. A Genjutsu that shows the mirrored movements to those caught in it. You'll prepare for my attacks frht while I e from the left. Time to end this.'

  Akamine rushed towards Kakashi from the left. He saw the Leaf ninja preparing to defend against an attaing from the right and smirked. "Die." With all his might the pirate captain swung his sword at the Leaf Jonin's neck.

  The sed he saw that he was flying and there erson with his body and armor standing near him. He noticed that the body didn't have a head and he was fused. 'What the?' That was the st thought of Akamine Fumimaro as his head rolled on the deck of the ship.

  Kakashi looked at the se and sighed. 'Too bad.' As the pirate captaihe Jonin suddenly started hearing a hissing sound ing from the dead man's body. Due to his years living as a shinobi he kly what that sound was. The Jonin rushed at the decapitated body and threw it towards the sea, far away from the ship.

  The body flew dozens of meters away and sah the waves. The sed a loud bst was heard along with the spsh of water.

  It was at this moment that Daichi came up to the deck with the reduced hostages. "What the hell was that?"

  "That Armor was booby trapped. Ohat mahe paper bombs in it activated. I had to toss the body before we all got caught in the explosion." Kakashi replied with a sigh.

  Daiodded and turo the decapitated head on the floor. "And this? Didn't think you'd chop his head off."

  "I didn't. He did it to himself."

  The Genin raised an eyebrow at that statement and quickly figured out the answer. "Genjutsu?"

  "Yeah. I put him in an illusion where he would attack himself… What about the hostages? Any serious injuries?"

  The Genin shook his head. "No. Nothing that 't be healed."

  The Leaf Jonin nodded. "I know the route the third ship will take. Let's go."

  Daiodded. He theed a shadow e and dispelled it. Once he sent the message the medija went to examihe people he just freed.

  With Team Guy.

  Daichi's e opened his eyes as he got the new memories. "Kakashi sensei has taken trol of the ship. All 8 people taken from the isnd are safe. They are exhausted but there are no perma or serious injuries." He reyed the o everyone.

  "Haha. Way to go my rival. Just as expected of you." Guy said with a grin as he pleted his pushup challenge.

  At that moment Ishido came near Daichi. "Is there a woman named Kamika among them? She has brown hair and a tattoo of a deer on her right hand."

  Daichi went through his memories and a couple seds ter shook his head. "I'm sorry. But she's not with the group we found. She must be on one of the other two ships."

  Ishido looked down and ched his fist.

  "Who is she?" Tenten asked the man.

  "She's my wife. We only got married a few months ago." Ishido replied.

  "Don't worry. We'll get her." Daichi reassured the man. Ishido gave a weak smile as he walked back to his post.

  "We're nearing the locatioher ninja said. Their ship must be near here. Prepare yourself. We'll be within range soon." Ishido said.

  Everyone nodded. At that moment Daichi spoke. "Guy sehere is something you should know. The pirate captain of the ship had high in level bat speed and solid defeh that armor. It also had a failsafe. Ohe person wearing it dies the armor explodes."

  "If that's the case then why didn't the first one explode?" Tenten asked.

  "My theory is that it's because Guy sensei damaged it. I think breaking that armates the failsafe. It's just a theory though. I'd still be careful around it." Daichi replied.

  Guy nodded and he listeo the Genin. "Uood Daichi. Alright my dear Genins, listen up. I'm going to battle the captaienten, you two will fight the other members of that crew arain them. Neji, you help Daichi locate the prisoners and bring them to this ship. Lee, Tenten, once you subdue all the members put them on a life raft. I'm sure that ship will have one. We'll tie it to the back of this ship."

  "Yes sensei." The reply came in unison.

  "Ship in sight! North northeast of us!" Ishido alerted them.

  "Neji, give us the rundown. What are we looking at?" Guy spoke.

  The Hyuga nodded and made the seal to activate his Kekkei Genkai. "Byakugan!"

  "The captaio be in his quarters. There are 8 prisoners on this ship as well. Aside from the captain there are 15 crewmen. I don't see ah any strong chakra aside from the captain. He has in level reserves."

  A few moments ter, the people oher ship saw them as well. They headed straight for Ishido's ship.

  "All of you should hide. Neji, Daichi. You two will board the ship from the back. Lee, Tenten. You two will unch a surprise attack." Guy decided otle pn and the reed. The Genin blended into the shadows.

  Ohe pirate ship was near, the Genins jumped to the sea and uhe cover of the night swiftly reached the other vessel. Now they were waiting for their seo draw the attention of the crew and it didn't take long. The moment the Pirate captain came out of his , Guy jumped from his ship.

  The Taijutsu master of the Leaf vilge flew towards his target with a flying kick.

  "DYNAMITRY!"

  The captain's eyes widened like dies as he saw the fast ining kick. He was too surprised at the sudden a to evade and Guy's foot collided right with his face sending him flying through his . He collided with the walls of his and nded oher side.

  The man moaned in pain as he id on the floor. His crew came near him and looked in surprise and fear at what had just happened.

  Lee aehily climbed the pirate ship from the other side at this moment while Neji and Daichi got on board from the back.

  "Get that bastard." "Kill him." The crew took out their ons and ran at Guy.

  "Haha. e on you sea bandits. Allow me to show you the burning spirit of the Gree! Hiya!" Guy sprung into a and spin kicked the first oppohat got near him. The pirate lost sciousness on the first attad flew away.

  Guy dodged the swings of the swords and chopped their wrists making them drop their ons. With a swift punch to the torso and a high kick to the he khem out ahem flying.

  "e o's pile on him. He won't be able to attack all of us." One of the pirates said and all of them rushed at Guy. But the sed dozens of kunai rained down on them, wounding several. Tenten and Lee joihe battle as well.

  "Leaf rising wind!" Lee appeared in front of an oppo and tripped him with a leg sweep before pleting the move with a high kick that uhe pirate straight up into the air.

  "Sensei, we'll take care of these guys. Go after the captain." Lee said to his teacher.

  Guy nodded and gave his team a thumbs up. He headed towards the pirate captain who got up and was rubbing his broken . The man was furious as he looked at the ining Jonin. The momeook a kunai from his poud shot off tuy and the battle between them began.

  Meanwhile, with the help of Neji, Daichi easily found the prisoners on the ship.

  "P-please… Help us…"

  "Don't worry. We're Leaf ninjas. We're here to get you out." Neji said calming them down and giving them hope.

  "Thankfully, there aren't araints on their person. But all the cages are locked and it would be easier if we had the keys." Daichi said to the Hyuga.

  "Yes, but I don't see them anywhere. They must be kept in another location. We o find it quickly." Neji replied as he looked around with his Byakugan.

  "No. We don't have time for that. I get them out." Daichi ushered the prisoo get bad went through 4 seals. 'I really don't like using this jutsu. Leaves a weird taste in my mouth.'

  'Water style - Corrosion liquid jutsu.'

  Daichi spat some light acid on the cage's lod in seds it corroded away.

  "What jutsu is that?" Neji asked.

  "It's Water style Corrosion liquid. By maniputing the pH level of water I increase its acidity. And just a small quantity of it is enough to get the job done." Daichi replied.

  Neji opehe cage and slowly took the prisoners out. Daichi's e created two more es. And they carefully led the people of Land of Sea on to the deck. They saw that the battle was already over, with the pirates captured and Lee aen seg them on a life raft.

  Daichi looked to the other side and saw Guy seanding in front of a fallen man with his armor broken to several pieces and scattered near him.

  The Genin took the hostages from the pirate ship and brought them to theirs. Ishido looked through eae that came on board and was saddened. "Do you know where Kamika is?" He asked one of them.

  "She's… oher ship."

  Ishido was te that answer gave him some hope. He helped them y down and got them something to eat and drink while Daichi examihem and healed any wounds.

  Once everyone was safe and secure, Guy set fire to the pirate ship auro his. They slowly sailed away as the 2nd ship of the Gdiator Pirates was destroyed in the middle of the sea.

  "Daichi, tell Kakashi that we are on our way to the location of the main ship. Tell him to inform us if there is any ge." The Jonin told Daichi. When the additional shadow es Daichi's e created, dispelled, the memories of what happened went back to the inal.

  With Team Kakashi.

  "They got the sed ship, sensei. No casualties. They're headed to the main pirate ship. Guy sensei also asked me to firm the route."

  Kakashi nodded. "It seems I'll have to interrogate the leader of this ooo. Make sure that nothing's ged."

  The two Leaf ninjas sailed for about 2 hours before they caught sight of the st subordinate ship.

  "I'll deal with the captain. you hahe rest alone?"

  "Yeah. I got it." Daiodded and created several shadow es. The sed their ships got close the ninjas made their move. Kakashi headed straight for the Leader of the pirate crew while Daichi took down the rest.

  Kakashi had his Sharingan out for this and it wasn't long before the captain was under an illusion. As the Leaf Jonin interrogated and got the info needed, Daichi rescued the prisoners one by one and got them to the other ship.

  He found a woman that had the matg features Ishido spoke of. "Are you Kamika?"

  "Yeah. How do you know my he tired woman asked as she id on the floor.

  "Your husband Ishido sent us. He was worried about you."

  The woman hearing that name smiled with tears f in her eyes. "Is he okay?"

  "Yes. He's fine. He's with aeam helping save the people from your Isnd." Daichi said while his hands glowed green as he examined her.

  "That's just like him… Are you a doctor?"

  "I'm a medic. Yes… It looks like you're just malnourished. Don't worry. You'll be fier a week of healthy food." The young woma out a breath of relief.

  "Daichi!" At that moment Kakashi called out to him.

  "What is it, sensei?"

  "I have good news and bad news." The Jonin said, c the Sharingan eye.

  Daichi sighed hearing that. "I figured."

  "The good news is, acc to the information I got from him, the main ship is docked at the specified location. They have no prisoners on board. So we don't have to be careful. They're behind the isnd two dozen miles from here and they haven't moved. So there is the ce that they are not expeg us."

  "So what's the problem?"

  "Because it's not just a ship. It's a rge warship. They have a le on capable of taking out any ship. Evehat's almost a mile away. It's some sort of a on. A single blow from that and a ship like this would be blown to bits. If we get close and they spot us, there's a good ce they'll bst us apart. We escape but the civilians… They'll be in dahat's the bad news." Kakashi finished and leaned on the mast as they sailed away from the pirate ship burning down behind them.

  "So what's our py?"

  Kakashi was quiet and thought about his move. A few moments ter he spoke. "We o take care of them. Otherwise they do a lot of damage. So we stay the course but slightly adjust the rendezvous point. We'll meet with Guy's team about two miles away from the warship and theravel through the o."

  Kakashi took out a map and poi a specific spot. "Tell Ishido t the ship here. From there we'll move together with Team Guy and take them by surprise."

  "Uood." Daichi memorized the location Kakashi showed. He created and dispelled a shadow e inf the other party of the situation.

  With Team Guy.

  "So that's what Kakashi said huh. Very well then! Ishido. ge course. Sihey have a on that destroy ships, we o be careful." Guy told the man.

  Ishido nodded and then looked at the Genin. "So she's fihey didn't hurt her or anything?"

  Daichi shook his head and smiled. "Don't worry. She's tired but she'll be just fine."

  "Thank you. All of you. I knew I made the right choice." Ishido bowed and quickly returo his post with a big smile. He turhe rudder and adjusted the route.

  Now only one more enemy ship remained and both Jonin and their students were making their way towards it.

  Author's Note.

  This ht here is the equivalent of 2 chapters. Enjoy the 4.6k word chap.. Now on to other stuff.

  One of the things I'm ed about is the P.O.V shift. I hope the transition from Team Kakashi to Team Guy to Team Kakashi to Team Guy isn't jarring or doesn't cause a big problem(annoyance) when reading.

  Also I didn't want to write two Joniing up helpless sea bandits three times, so I showed differes each time. Only the pirate captain was somewhat strong but Kakashi and Guy are on a different level so it was a short battle. The other crew were just civilian bandits. So not much resistan their part. Hope this chapter wasn't b to read. chap will have a much more intetle.

  On an another note:

  —-

  "Are you Kamika?"

  "Yeah. How do you know my he tired woman asked as he id on the floor.

  "Your husband Ishido sent us. He was worried about you."

  —-

  After reading this, how many of you expected the woman's respoo be like:

  —-

  ''What do you mean my husband? What are you talking about?''

  ''What? I'm talking about your husband. Ishido.''

  ''I don't have a husband.''

  —-

  After writing Daichi's dialogue inf the woman that her husbahem, It took some effort on my part not to write the above lines and make a pointless drama. I personally think that, that whole plot move has bee kinda cliche at this point, but who am I to pin. I might use something like that iure.
