Hishaku in Naruto

While they were at sea, Naruto, Guy and a few other Konoha shinobi encountered a ship and they thought that it was a ghost ship. After Naruto helped Hishaku with his chores with the help of Shadow Clones, he explained the phenomenon to them and revealed that he desired to become a Captain one day.

After encountering the giant corpse crab at Sea, Hishaku told them the story of how it had killed his crewmates and begged them to defeat the beast. While Naruto fought with the beast Hishaku used the ship as a battering ram to give Naruto an opening to attack it with its Rasengan.
