'Let's see, let's walk to my first crew member and give a hello to him, yup our resident emo of Konoha, a brother from Indra's mother, Uchiha Suske, hahaha' decided Naruto as he started walking towards the Uchiha compound to recruit his first crew member, well not to recruit but to at least say hello.
As Naruto made his way to the Uchiha compound, the Anbu following him, found it really odd as the blondie had never visited there but still Sasuke was Naruto's classmate, they didn't make a fuss about it. Naruto also seemed oddly happy today, but again, they ignored it.
As Naruto reached the Uchiha Compound, he started looking for Sasuke's house, as he had never visited once to his house once. After using his observation, he was able to find where exactly was Sasuske, and fortunately, he was in front of his house performing physical exercises.
"Yo! Sus..I mean Sasuke, watcha doing?"
"Naruto? What are you doing here?"
"Isn't it polite to invite your friend inside," Naruto pointed towards Sasuke's house.
"Who told you that you're my friend hmph!"
"Now now, let's not be rude to your only friend who visited you"
"Don't waste my time Naruto and get out of here"
"Oh! Scarrry!!" Naruto made a funny expression while his hands were on his face.
'why did I think of that guy, ugh!!'
Somehow the lazy expression and his false words really ticked Sasuke off as warned Naruto last time, "Naruto, don't test my patience and get out"
Naruto hearing that didn't pay attention to him as he was lost in his own thoughts, 'Since the dude didn't want me here, let's just barge inside, Pirate style.
So without further delay, Naruto made his way inside Sasuke's house, and this was completely unexpected to Sasuke. He also followed him determined to teach Naruto a lesson in humility today.
As soon as he entered the house, he went straight to the living room, where he found some rice crackers, which he immediately started munching on. Sasuke also followed him inside and found him sitting comfortably in his living room eating rice crackers as if it were his own room, in a fit of anger, went straight for a punch to his face and surprisingly was dodged by Naruto.
'Did he sense me punching from behind' thought Sasuke as he pounced on Naruto again, this time it was a frontal body tackle and again Naruto, simply moved out of his way at the last second. This went on for a full minute and Sasuke was unable to land a single hit on Naruto.
Sasuke was at the top of his class and Naruto was at the bottom. Although he was descent in Taijustsu spars, still he was nowhere near Sasuke, but here he was playing with him. Sasuke also noticed certain changes in the blondie, his hair now contained some red strands in it. Also, his body was more buffed up.
'What happened to this loser in a single day, also why is he behaving differently'
"How did you do that?"
"Do what?"
"Don't talk nonsense, you know what I am asking, how did you dodge all my attacks"
"oh that, well you won't believe me if I say it"
"try me!"
"Well, I can see future!"
"hmph! if you don't want to tell then don't, no need to make things up"
"told you, you won't believe me"
"As if who would believe it"
"As if who would believe it"
Both Naruto and Sasuke spoke at the same time. This left Sasuke utterly bewildered.
"It must be just a coincidence"
"It must be just a coincidence"
Again, both Naruto and Sasuke spoke at the same time. This time however Sasuke knew that Naruto was telling the truth. He knew, one time could be a coincidence but not twice.
"How did you learn this technique"
"How did you learn this technique"
"Stop it I get that you can see the future"
"Stop it I get that you can see the future"
"Oh you believe me now, actually it's only 15 seconds at most currently but I can still work on it, as for learning it, I can try teaching it to you, but this is the power of will, but meh we will look into it later."
"Power of will....hmmm" Sasuke pondered over his words.
'Never heard of this power of will, is this some secret technique?'
Naruto continued to eat rice crackers as Sasuke asked him again, "So you didn't just come to brag about this ability did you?"
"Oh, yeah! I came to say hello to you and also to recruit you!"
"Recruit me? aren't you poor and for what work do you need me?" Sasuke at least maintained a polite attitude as he knew Naruto is in possession of a terrifying ability. In any battle just knowing a second of the future can give you a huge advantage let alone a couple of seconds, it can direct the whole battle, and Sasuke our friendly neighbourhood avenger needs that ability to get his revenge.
"oh you get me wrong, it isn't some measly chore or job I am hiring you for, you are going to be a crew member in the future and I will be your captain"
"what do you mean by crew member"
"Well you can consider this as an adventurous journey to explore the unknown, and I want you on my ship, at least 5-6 years from now. "
"Ship? you are planning to go on a sea trip"
"Not a trip my friend, we are going to overturn this whole world! we will be Red Haired Pirates!"
This brought a surprise to Sasuke's face as he couldn't comprehend why Naruto who till yesterday wanted to be Hokage now wants to be a pirate.
"So you want me to become bandits with you?"
"Nah uh! we are pirates and not bandits"
"Aren't they just bandits who loot in the sea"
"No, we are different, we will go on adventures to explore the unknown, not on a looting spree"
"Then why the name pirates?"
"Oh just a man's romance"
"A man's what?" Sasuke was again baffled by Naruto's words.
"So you in?"
"No, I don't want to be part of your game. And what will I get in this adventure of yours anyway? All I need is the power to avenge my clan"
"Now now, don't be so hasty, I told you I can try teaching this future thingy to you well if you can learn this depends on you or your luck"
'I don't know if people in the Shinobi world can manifest this power of will, but it will at least be a try, and this power, I can also attribute it to Uzumaki clan's Kekke Genkai, this is the transmigrator's favourite excuse'
"As for avenging your clan, we can wait for that, I guess you can do that in 5-6 years, as for what you get is a good adventure, and I can also train you, at least in physical combat, you know apart from ninjutsu, and also believe me you are not getting ahead of me in recent years anyway. Another thing is I can tell you the truth of this world if you want and believe me it includes Itachi Uchiha!"
As soon as he heard the last part, something within him exploded and the calm atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"What do you know about Itachi and what is this truth of the world? and how the hell are you in possession of this knowledge?"
"Well you can attribute it to my future sight, for a single time I was about to learn the truth about this world, the past and the future, also for these powers, they are part of my Uzumaki clan Kekkei Genkai"
"Uzumaki Clan? aren't you a civilian orphan?"
"Nah uh! you can consider me the Last Royal Uzumaki, as for the rest of the part, it comes with the truth, you want it?"
'This is really fun! Playing with your favourite characters and pretending to be some bigshot or hidden royalty, I never bullshited so much even in my previous life.' thought Naruto as he carefully planned his next words to recruit his first crew member or second member, as he is taking Hinata for granted.
