Visitors from the Land of Voices!
A Naruto/Vocaloid fanfiction
Naruto opened the door to the Hokage's room and, as he did every time he came in, said to himself "Someday, I'll own this room!" He stepped in and asked, "So, what awesome mission do you have for me this time, Grandma Tsunade?"
"Well, if you'd shown up on time, you might know, Naruto." Neji pointed out from where he was standing in the room. "How you made it to Genin at all is beyond me." Naruto looked around the room and saw that Sasuke was here as well.
"Hello, Loser." Sasuke grumbled, "I suppose your going to be our partner. Hmph." Naruto was just as happy to see Sasuke as Sasuke was to see him. Grandma Tsunade stood up behind her table.
"How nice of you to join us, Naruto. Now, if you three are through, may I continue?" Naruto noticed Tsunade had that tic on her head that usually meant she was about to show off her thousand-mile punch.
"Of course, Lady Tsunade." Neji said, "Don't mind their prattle."
"Thank you, Neji." Tsunade quipped, "I feel so honored." With that she switched moods and became serious "You three are performing a very important mission for the whole of the Land of Fire. There has recently been a discovery of White Fang mineral deposits on the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Voices. The leading village in the Land of Voices is the Village Hidden in the Music. They have always been peaceable allies, but White Fang is an incredibly rare and valuable mineral. We need to be very careful to make their emissaries as comfortable as possible during their visit. You three will be their guides."
"Are a couple of fighters and the village idiot really the best choices for a negotiation mission?" Neji asked, "I would think Shikamaru and Sakura would be better choices." Before Naruto could say anything about not being an idiot, Tsunade answered Neji.
"Yes, they would." Tsunade walked over to the map and pointed at the Village Hidden in the Mist, "But they're currently on a particularly unstable negotiation in the Village Hidden in the Mist, and it would very, very bad if they were pulled out right now. You're the best options we have at the given time. Shizune, if you could brief them on the emissaries." Tsunade sat back down at her desk as Shizune picked up several pictures and began talking.
"The emissaries from the Village Hidden in the Music are a team of a jounin, a chunin, and two genin. Given that they've sent genin instead of a team of jounin has given us confidence that they are being just as peaceable about this as we are. Their names are: Kaito Shion, the jounin, Miku Hatsune, the chunin, Kagamine Rin and Lin, twin genin." Shizune pointed to each of the pictures as she spoke, "Rin is the girl, and the 'elder' of the twins. As you can see, ninjas from the Hidden Music Village don't wear headbands, but instead wear these headsets. Kaito and Miku are both well-known singers in the Land of Voices, so they may be expecting the celebrity treatment. While we don't know that for sure, if they're expecting it, give it to them. We want them to feel at home. Your jobs will be to help them find their way around the village, take them to all the tourist spots, and in general do anything they need you to do."
"We are expecting you to be on your best behavior," Tsunade pointed out, looking only at Naruto, "So no funny business, you here me Naruto!"
"Yeah, yeah, I hear you, Grandma Tsunade." Naruto complained, "But why are you point at me, specitically?"
"Because, Naruto," Neji pointed out, "You are the one who is likely to do something weird like that." Naruto noticed Sasuke murmured something along the lines of "Stupid Loser".
"Hey! Why I ought to…" Naruto began, but Tsunade cut him off.
"What you ought to do is get serious and get down to the village gate! The emissaries are due to arrive some time this afternoon, and you have just enough time to get down there and eat a light lunch before they arrive." Tsunade pointed out her window in the direction of the main gate. "Get moving."
