Chapter 1: The Kings Banquet & Queen Sakura Deposed

Naruto has been king over Konoha for three years now. In celebration of his third year of reign he gave a banquet for all his nobles and officials. He invited all the military officers of Konoha and Suna. The celebration was held in the courtyard of the palace garden. The court yard was beautifully decorated with orange cotton curtains and blue hangings, which were fastened with white linen cords and purple ribbons to silver rings embedded in marble pillars. Gold and silver couches stood on a mosaic pavement of marble, mother-of-pearl, and other costly stones were arranged to make a design of the Konoha villages leaf symbol. Drinks were served in gold sake cups that also had the leaf symbol design on them. King Naruto wanted to show his generosity and shouted in his loud obnoxious voice,

"Don't be Shy you guys! Drink as much as you want. It's the best! Everybody drink! Well, except you Lee! I don't want you going all psycho and destroying my palace with your drunken' fist technique! HA!HA!HA!"

Everybody else join in and started laughing too. Lee gave King Naruto the nice guy pose and proclaimed,

"You have my word, oh youthful king! May your springtime of youth never leave you!" Gai is standing next to Lee.

"Oh, Lee! That was beautiful!" Lee's eyes are big and sparkle as he happily replays,

"Oh! Thank you Gai-sensei!"

"Lee!"

"Gai-sensei!"

They both give each other a thumbs up as a sunset scene appears behind them. Everybody in the courtyard has an anime sweat drop on their heads as they stare blankly at the green spandex wearing dual.

At the same time as King Naruto is giving his banquet, Queen Sakura gave a banquet for the women in the royal palace. On the last day of the celebration, King Naruto was a little tipsy from all the sake he'd drank. He told his three eunuchs who attended him, Konohamaru and company, to bring Queen Sakura to him with the royal crown on her head. King Naruto then boasted, "That queen of mine is a very beautiful women. Since I already have her as my queen I want you all to enjoy her beauty. I am very pound to call her my queen." King Naruto ended his boast with that fox like grin of his.

Konohamaru and company told Queen Sakura what the king had wanted. Queen Sakura now had her hands on her hips and spat,

"I am not a trophy to be shown to all his stupid friends. If he thinks that am just gonna come at his every beck and call then his dumber than he looks." Queen Sakura was now pushing Konohamaru and company out of her room as she shouted,

"Tell my idiot of a husband that am not COMING!" And with that she slammed the door in their faces.

"This is bad." Konohamaru said as the three of them went back to tell the king what happen. They walked into the courtyard and spotted the king talking with some of the military officers from Suna. They walked up to the king and could hear him say,

"Oi, Gaara! I bet once you take one good look at my bangin' queen we'll finally see a smile on that mean face of yours."

"Hn." was all the sand wielding, raccoon eyed military officer said. Konohamaru lean into king Naruto's ear and whisper the queen's refusal.

"NANI!" the king shouted. He was furious and burned with anger.

'How could she do that!' he thought angrily as he headed to his wise adviser. 'She's making me look like a fool! Why does Sakura-chan have to be so difficult!' He finally found his adviser lazily laying on the grass with his hands behind his head gazing at the sky. King Naruto couldn't help but laugh inside. 'For an wise adviser he sure was lazy.'

"Oi, Shikamaru! As my wise adviser who knows all the Konoha laws and customs, what must be done to queen Sakura?" He demanded. " What does the law say about a queen who refuses to obey the kings orders properly sent through his eunuches?" Shikamaru sat up and replied,

"This is why women are so troublesome. And I should know I married the most troublesome of them all. Let's see, Queen Sakura has wronged not only the king but also every noble and citizen throughout your kingdom. Women everywhere will begin to despise their husbands when they learn that Queen Sakura refused to appear before the king. Before this day is out the wives of all the kings nobles throughout Konoha and Suna will hear what the queen did and will start treating their husbands the same way. There will be no end to their contempt and anger. So if it please the king, I suggest that you issue a law that cannot be revoked. It should order that Queen Sakura be forever banished from the presence of king Naruto, and that the king should choose another queen more worthy than she. When this law is published throughout the kings vast kingdom husbands everywhere, whatever their rank, will receive proper respect from their wives!"

The king being who he is didn't really understand everything Shikamaru had said, but he did like the idea of getting a new queen. Yea, he liked Sakura. She was one of the most beautiful women in all of Konoha, but she had a bad attitude and could be extremely violent. This time he'd get a Queen who was not only beautiful but also kind. So he followed Shikamaru's counsel. He sent letters to all parts of the kingdom, proclaiming that every man should be the ruler of his household and should say whatever he pleases.

Ino walks into her husbands study with one hand on her hip and the other holding up a piece of paper in front of her husbands face.

"Shika! Did you have something to do with this?" irritation in her voice. Shikamaru just looks at her with a small smirk on his face saying,

"Looks like someone is going to a lot more quieter." Ino's face just turn bright red from anger as she crumbled up the paper and threw it at her husbands head as she left his study.

"Yes, a whole lot quieter."

Well that's it of this chapter.
