Hey guys! It's me. so if you like my other story I hope you'll like this one. I got this idea quite a while ago, but I didn't write about it until now. I actually got the idea from the Shippuden Ending song #3 when they showed clips of the movie. So, I wanted to say that I don't own Naruto, and most of the dialouge is subbed from the movie. I'll edit some things, but I'll go by the book for now. Well, actually by the movie. Shutting up now and I hope you enjoy!

CHAPTER 1: Mission to Save the World

It has been a few weeks since Naruto had recently come back to Konoha from his training trip with Jiraya. Everyone was fussing and running about an important message that the Hokage had just received.

"Seems like we need a hero…like me!" said our #1 unpredictable knuckle head of a ninja.

"Naruto, what are you doing? They're calling for team 7!" Naruto's teammate said. "It's time for my grand entrance!" he said.

"EHH?! What the heck?!" Naruto yelled when Neji and Fuzzy-brows ended up on Team 7. Tsunade told them that Neji's in place of Kakashi and Lee's in place of Sasuke. Sakura and Naruto bent their heads down with grief.

"Tsunade-sama, you shouldn't mention Uchiha Sasuke." "They're still depressed about that?" the Hokage wondered. The Hokage then started explaining their mission.

"A ghost army is attacking. But they're only part of a puppet technique. They are being controlled by someone who's not human. Mouryou, as he is called, is a demon from anther world!" Naruto shivered at the sound of that.

"A long time ago, a group of ninja used the demon Mouryou's powers to create an immortal army and tried to take over our world. They were able to conquer several countries and almost conquered the whole nation, but the high priestess Miroku of the Demon country, invoked a powerful ninjutsu to seal Mouryou's soul in the Demon Country's Underground Palace, and his soul in a shrine in the Swamp Country. By doing that they were able to stop his ambition in its tracks. But now that Mouryou has been revived, he is using his armies to pass through the Demon Country and head toward the shrine where his body is kept. If he's bale to reunite his soul with his body and fully revive himself, there'll be no stopping him."

"What would happen?" Naruto asked.

"It would be the end of the world."

"Your mission is to guard the High Priestess of the Demon Country and take her to the shrine where his body is kept. She is the only who can seal away Mouryou's soul. And that's the only way to save the world!"

The team left out toward the country after Neji assigned them jobs. Naruto wasn't real happy when Neji sort of insulted him saying he was still childish.

Meanwhile, in the Demon Country, they were being attacked by four intruders. The young priestess had a vision of someone dying. Naruto, that butthead, decided to attack them first, while she escaped. Sakura and Lee soon followed while Neji went after to help the priestess.

Team 7 was soon formally introduced to the High Priestess after the whole fighting thing with the intruders. She informed them that she was uninjured and she was right about her predictions.

"I'm sure it was their true desire to protect me." the priestess said royally. Naruto twitched a little at the sound of this.

"Now you wait a second!" Naruto jumped up and grabbed her by the front of her clothes and disrespected fully pulled her up.

"All those people died for you! What kind of attitude is that?!" Naruto was dragged back by his friends and were ganged up upon.

"Naruto, cut it out!"

"What are you doing?!"

"Sit down!" they all replied.

Shion, the priestess, interrupted, "You're going to die."

Naruto took it as a threat. "Huh? What'd you say? I didn't quite catch that. Say it in a nice, loud voice!" he said angrily.

"You're going to be pierced through the chest and die!" she finally said, rather loudly.

~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~

Naruto got himself armor made of pans and metal plates. "Now I can change the prediction and save the world."

"You can't change a prediction." Shion said. "Actually, you're going to be beheaded." she said toying with him.

"What?!" Naruto ran back inside and put on more armor. "There."

"Keep it up until you die." she said, as she pushed him over. His fall hurt even more with all the heavy metals.

"Someone help me up….."

~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~

They headed out to the forest on their journey to the shrine. When night came they were forced to rest for the night because Taruho was tired and Shion had to sleep. Taruho decided to go with them and protect the priestess on their journey to the shrine. When they gave the priestess food, she whined and complained that she couldn't eat that kind of stuff. Sakura and Naruto looked at the fallen, wasted food.

"I liked that." Naruto said quietly pointing at the food. "Me too." Sakura agreed.

Shion headed for bed and everyone got ready for watch duty.

Naruto found Taruho and gave him some food. "Here, you'll need this for tomorrow. We're going non-stop tomorrow, so you'll need your strength."

"Many Thanks." he replied.

"So, uh… about those predictions…." Naruto said, looking down.

"Shion-sama is only able to foretell the deaths of those who serve her and are nearby." he interrupted.

"But can't you avoid death if you know how you're gonna die?" he aasked.

"No. No matter how hard you struggle, when fate decides it is your time to die, there is no avoiding it. However, all the objects of her predictions were people willing to give their lives to protect Shion-sama. I'm sure that Shion-sama would have died if any one of them betrayed their fate and tried to survive. As of fate, even the people of our village feared that they will appear in one of Shion-sama's visions, and try to outright avoid her."

"So that's why she's like that. She must've been lonely." Naruto remembered his own childhood of loneliness.

So guys, what do ya think? Review please and thank you. Don't be afraid to criticize! Thnxs again.
