A Hunter Chronicle – 03

"That was a nice nap."

Naruto muttered, stretching out his hands while yawning before blinking.

His longtime companion blinked a little as well and fell off the blond's chest. It had let go of the ability to stick on any surface in that moment. It growled angrily as its head banged against the wooden deck above the blond.

Everyone on the floor was looking up at the only person who can stick to the ceiling of the shared cabin.

The boat's ride was rocky as best on the raging sea, and they just went through a typhoon.

"Wow, what's happened here? Did you guys have a party? Why didn't any of you wake me up? It would be a lot more fun with me in it -ttebayo!"

Naruto shouted from his position, pointing at the damaged crates and wooden furniture in the room.

Several people were on the ground, holding their head in discomfort. Some looked like they were almost dead. All of them seemed to be symptom of severe hangover.

"HOW DID YOU SLEEP THROUGH THAT!?"

Several of not-very-good sailors shouted at the blond.

Naruto smirked and jumped of the ceiling, flipped in the air and landed on his feet on top of Kurama.

"Get off me!"

Kurama roared as Naruto skipped off.

He then looked around and noticed there were some people completely unfazed by his strange ability, and they were doing their own thing like leisurely reading a book.

The fox on the ground recovered and jumped up high and landed on top of the blond head in a single leap.

"Well, this year we have sailors tougher than the others… and I'm not sure what he is."

The captain admitted, checking the room from outside of the cabin's window.

He had a strange expression while examining the blond boy, who was now, piling up the unconscious people at one corner of the cabin as it was a chore.

"So, there's going a bigger storm? I hope I can feel that one."

Naruto declared with a smile, scratching his cheek a bit as he watched countless of the passenger trying to get off the boat after the announcement by the captain.

"Only four huh"

The captain said, seeing the only four passengers was still left on his ship after the panic.

"It's five! Why does nobody ever paid any attention to me; I'm going torch this ship if you ignore me!"

Kurama protested grumpily as a little fire sparks came from his body.

The captain narrowed his eyes at the small creature.

"Even if you can talk, you need to be a human or humanoid to become a hunter."

The captain apologized. Kurama growled and transformed into a busty and naked orange haired girl in front of him.

The captain was knocked out by full blow nudity.

The same thing happened with a tall black-haired man in a nice suit next to Naruto.

The kid with a spiky black, green tipped hair seemed unfazed by Kurama's excellent and busty figure.

The light blond-haired boy, wearing a blue tabard frowned at the sight but otherwise remained impassive.

"Furball, enough, you made your point."

Naruto scolded the fox, who turned back into his chibi form and climbed back on the blond's head. It took a few moments for the two perverts in the room to recover from the mental attack.

"Okay, five. I will have to notify the head quarter about that. Now, what are your names."

The captain said, trying his best to regain his normal composure.

"Kurapika," the light blond-haired boy greeted, with a stoic face.

"Gon," the spiky green tinted, spiky black hair kid said, cheerfully.

"Lerio," the guy in a suit, tried to be cool, introduced himself.

"I'm Naruto and this idiot here is Kurama."

Naruto finally introducing himself then pointed at the fox on top of his head.

The captain asked why any of them wishes to be a hunter.

Lerio said he wanted wealth and fame, as such, Kurama immediately liked the guy.

Kurapika hinted something along the line of revenge, but Naruto wasn't paying much attention.

Gon declared that he wanted to see what being a Hunter was like, and something about finding his long-lost dad.

A fight broke out between Kurapika and Lerio afterward to see who was stronger, but the brawl quickly stopped when Gon tried to save a sailor life due to the raging storm.

Naruto was standing on the slanted deck, not really doing anything other than watching the bickering group as the storm continued to grow above.

"Weak."

Kurama growled, checking out the battle.

Naruto agreed as they were around genin level at best.

"They're not hunter yet, maybe they get stronger later?"

Naruto predicted, walking up the ship's mast, completely unhindered by gravity.

"That kid Gon is interesting though."

Naruto added as he reached the top and looked at the horizon; the rapid motion of the rocking ship didn't seem to faze the sage at all.

The group below reconciled at last as the captain told them he would take them closer to the examination ground.

"Because I'm bored, so I wanted to try and be a hunter, I heard it very difficult, so it's could kill sometime while I wait."

Naruto said after everyone returned back to the cabin.

His comment forced the captain to sweat dropped a bit.
