Chapter 1 - A Fateful Encounter
"Hmmm..." began king Hugaya steadily, "It seems to me that our kingdom is under attack.."
"Yes sire...We are indeed under grave attack right at the moment we --" responded the soldier hesitantly.
"Is my son out there with troops?" King Hugaya asked, cutting off the fellow-nervous soldier.
"Y-yes, sire! Prince Neji is on the protection around the walls of our borders.."
King Hugaya then glared narrowly at the soldier. "And what of my daughter…?" King Hugaya asked lastly.
"Princess Hinata...She's --"
The king slammed a hard fist, his fist thundered the arm side of his throne angrily, "Where?!"
The soldier gulped in fear of the king's mighty rage...He trusts that his son will do well on his own in danger, but his sweet princess-daughter was a flower. If anyone were to hurt her, he'd have their head for it…
"S-Sir!! She out in the gardens of the palace..." answered the soldier in a quick response..
The king's composure calmed immensely down, knowing his princess-daughter was in the palace, and not outside the kingdom walls...
"Sir, your son...The Prince, had asked what we should do in return of next attack back..?"
King Hugaya arose out his throne and walked down a few stairs from the throne….
"We'll crush them," The king responded, "We'll crush them like the little bugs they are...We'll keep our guard up for now until further notice..."
King Hugaya was looked upon as the kingdom's vigilant protector, and ruler...He simply wouldn't let any threat overwhelm his fair people...He sighed tiredly in stress...He knew that he must give commands to have the people and his family safe…
"Be sure to have guards that would not let my daughter be out of their sights..." began the king as he gave out more orders, "Also be sure to have more soilders keep eye of the villages.."
"Yes, sire..." responded the soldier as he bowed and left King Hugaya's presence..
Rummaging through the bushes was small, petique twelve year old, Princess Hinata...Her small body moved carefully, and smoothed against the stone walls of the kingdom. As she lifted each hang branch out of her gaze her eyes instantly jumped up at the sign of one her father's guards from behind.
She squealed as she ran rapidly through the bushes a lot more faster than before...While running, she clumsily fell into mud. "Ummph..!!" Luckily she didn't fall in completely...
She quickly arose up to her feet and began her pace of running once more. Even so, she complained in disgust of the mud that was slightly splattered on her face, "Ugh, mud isn't nice at all..!" she whimpered softly to herself.
Once the little Princess found her exit point out of the castle walls….she smiled proudly at herself, and squealed…"ha, ha! Yay! I did it! Now they'll never find me! Hehehe~!"
She finally made her escape at last finally...Outside of the kingdom walls, she's never ventured out before...She was interested of what could lie ahead...She dashed further more into the forest beyond…As much as she felt regret in her decision, she felt a little excited about it too..
King Hugaya sharply raised his head at the soldier's sudden return back to the palace in the throne room. "What is this?" he asked perplexed, "Why back so soon fellow soldier?"
The soldier huffed and puffed, as he laid all his weight over his thighs bent over to catch his breath for a brief moment before he answered, "Sir, The soldiers around the village are well, but the guards over your daughter, the princess..."
The king perked up his eyebrow slightly, "What happened..?" he asked sternly, narrowing his eyes…
The soldier bowed answering, "The guards lost her..."
The king arose out of his seat immediately in alert, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY LOST HER?!" the king shouted in a furiously in a ragous tone, "They've lost her?! Are you serious right now?!"
The soldier who was still bowing nodded, while his knees rested upon the marble floor...He felt himself sweating in fear of his highness' rage..
The king growled lowly, and violently, "You better be sure to send the best guards we have to find her! And if you don't..." he began in demand, "You'll be my personal punching bag! I'm very distinct of that to you?!"
The soldier's shaky body spiked up in fear as he arose, "Y-Y-Y-YES SIR..!!" he squealed loudly in a high-pitch tone after he saluted and bowed before speed walking his way out of the king's sight once more.
Despite the dilemma of the kingdom of Hidden Leaf Mountain...A young spiky-blond, twelve year old Naruto was hoping, and skipping through various tree branches of the forest…He was wearing a white robe, with hoodie covering his head over his black-orange ninja clothing.
The boy was in mischievous-playful mood. He did all kind of jumps, and flips throughout his mini-adventure through the woods...It seemed that he was having a blast at the most…
Even so, he wasn't there to play around to have fun...He was there on a mission to help his older sister, Sakura. Sakura gave him a radar-device to locate various missing gems that an evil villain overload has stolen from their chief's scared house of Shadow-Ninja Arts…
He stopped his endless bouncing around for a brief moment…
He took out the beeping radar out of his pocket to find the next destination of the missing shard. He came all the way here just to find a certain piece of it along with the other million of other pieces that was scattered around the world..
"Hmm..It's here somewhere.." The boy said aloud to himself while looking at the flashing radar that was cupped in his hands, while keeping balance over one the branches over a tree branch.
Naruto was lead by the radar, with a flashing arrow that pointed him to up north further. It seems that he wasn't too far to find the missing shard..He was very close..
The young boy squatted for a brief moment gathering energy to jump above the head of the forest...He glided through the blue skies in much distance…
Little did he knew that he was jumping into vast territory that lead into the Kingdom of the Hidden Leaf...His blue eyes scanned the whole area for a whole moment before descending south into one of the nearby forests of the kingdom…
His landing was hard enough to break any branch that he may land upon, but with his ninja-techniques...Naruto landed softly on wide tree branch without breaking fortunately.
Though he made a very loud noise that echoed throughout the whole area...Not very ninja-like...In response to his reckless landing, was the squealing of a little girl. Naruto's eyes blink at the sound.
His then quickly eyes glanced at that mysterious squeal. It belonged to a frightened little girl below who was about his age exact. She had short dark-violet hair; with bangs that fell over her forehead and cheeks, Her dark-violet hair color contrasted with her pearly violet eyes, she wore a beautiful cherry-pink kimono, along with beautiful jasmine blossoms that accessorized her hair. Naruto smiled, and waved happily at the girl below, completely unaware that she was frightened by him. "Hello..! Hey could you --"
"Eiiiiiiieeeee…!!" The little girl squealed loudly once more.
Naruto was confused, but then began pursuing the frightened girl as she began running away from the him.
"Hey! W-wait! Why are you running!?" shouted the boy as he leaped down from the ree that he was standing upon. He began dashing from behind, trying to catch up to the girl.
"Get away from meee..!!" shouted the girl in fear as she still dashed further, and further away from the boy.
He knew that it wouldn't be easy to haunt her right away, so he held his hand together in a scarred hand sign, and shouted, "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Suddenly the girl was halted back in surprise to see a big chopped piece log of wood with a thin paper of kanjii oh the front, stating, "boo".
Hinata stopped to look the log while it was still in midair, "What is that..?!" she exclaimed nervously. The log of wood instantly poofed into the cloaked boy, with his hood off. His arms were spread wide apart as far as his a big grin was, "Surprise!" he shouted gleefully.
"A...A boy?!" Hinata shouted frightfully at the mysterious little ninja that suddenly popped in front of her...She wasn't sure if she should run, or figure out of what was going on...She was at standstill..Her violet eyes glanced at the smiling-beaming boy.
"Who are you..? And why are you chasing me?" Hinata asked the boy softly in bashfulness.
Naruto's eyes widen at the girl, "Who me..?" he asked in response of her question.
"Yes.." she answered hesitantly nodding her head, "Are you one of my father's guards?"
Naruto scrunched his nose, and perked his lips up, along with raising one of his eyebrows with confusion to the girl's odd question…"I'm nobody's body guard really..." He answered, "I'm Naruto! Naruto Uzumaki! I'm looking for the missing shards!"
He finished, by adding, "Uh, but what's your name…? And why is someone as pretty as you running out here in the woods…?" He asked innocently..
The little princess blushed when he said, did he just called her pretty?
She stuttered and slightly mumbled in response, "Um, well.." she began, "I'm Princess Hinata of the Hidden Leaf Mountain...But you can call me Hinata if you like.."
Naruto smiled, and nodded, "Really?! phew...I think having to call you 'princess' all the time would be hard.." he exclaimed casually…
The little princess giggled at the boy's words, with a hint of blush still remaining over her cheeks..
"But, anyway..." He began, "Do you know of the Missing shards? The Missing Shards of the Hokage? I have to find all ten of them!" Naruto exclaimed as held his fist up, trying to be serious in playful way.
"Missing shards..? I don't know what you're talking about..." Hinata answered softly shaking her head with confusion…Naruto then went into his pockets a grabbed one chunky piece of the shards that he had found. He held out his hand towards her, and showed her one of the pieces of the shards…
Hinata's violet eyes glanced at the shard in wonder, she gasped…"Wait, I do know what they are.." she exclaimed, "I think I must've seen these at my father's room!"
Naruto's blue eyes widen, and shouted, "You did?! Really?" he shouted happily.
"Why yes, of course I --"
A huge roaring of a loud screeching demon appeared out of no we're so suddenly…
"Wa-Wa-Aaaaaaahhh! A m-monster!" cried the distressed princess as she forcefully shutted her eyes, and held her small arms above her head, along with her knees trembling intimately in much fear.
Naruto looked back at the princess for a brief moment, and then sharply turned his gaze back at the the demon that stood before them...The boy's blue eyes sharpened and narrow as he place on both his ninja mouth covering, and his white cloak hood…
Lastly he put back the shard that he held out securely back into his pocket..
"bOyyy….yOU oUGHT To GIVE MEEE tHat sHard RIGHT NOW…." claimed the demon, as its presence took several feet toward Naruto…
"I won't!" the boy shouted back viciously, "These shards belong to the Hokage! My dad! You won't have any of it!" He shouted lastly, along with the battle cry he gave out of his lungs as charged up quickly toward the beast of a demon that was in front of him…!
"iT's gOing tO Be LIkE THAT, HUH..?!" shouted the demon back in response to the boy, "Muahahahaha….Hehehe.." The demon laughed mockingly at Naruto's bravery as it too charged in for an attack. Naruto knew that he must act fast before he touched the shard...Or the princess who was there...Both his mother and father had always told him to be man of honor in protecting any girl from danger...Most importantly, to not let any demon have their hands over the shards ever...Naruto was to be strong.
With a special ninja technique, Naruto summoned, "Shadow-Clone Jutsu..!!"
A million Naruto's poofed up all at once like ninja smoke-bombs. But that wasn't it though…
The boy held out his right hand from behind, and one of his clones ran up from behind…
The clone wavered his hands in specific motion around the boy's hand…
Out of it, was formed a vibrant energy form of blue spouted in his hand, the orb increased in size until the right moment for, "RASENGAN..!!"
A huge impact of the powerful attack paralyzed the demon in both shock and defeat.
"AAAAAaaaaaaaaaAA!!!! NOoooooo!" screeched the demon in vast pain of the Rasengan blow, as it disintegrated its body into nothingness…
Naruto then jump widely back in front of the princess, who still held her head in fear of the whole event. Hinata had still kept her eyes very shut, expecting to see scary things of what she was hearing...She was a non-violent sweetheart...She didn't like much of this..
Suddenly nothing but the wind could be heard in the princess' ears...Not only the wind, but also faint chuckling...She raised her head up slowly to see the familiar grin of the boy that defended her from the big threatening monster…
Her violet eyes widen, of how fast things had transpired…
"Don't worry!" exclaimed the spiky headed ninja, "That big baddie is gone, I promise he won't come around and get ya."
Hinata then finally raised her head completely, and sighed in relief...She was still trembling from the dramatic moment, "I hope so.." She stammered nervously.
Naruto laughed more at her response...Hinata's composure was claimed immensely around the boy's cheerful presence she wasn't quite sure of him, but for some reason...She could trust him..
"GRRRRRRRR…..!!!!!!! " roared a vicious hungry stomach. It made Hinata yelp at the sound in fear...She was both and scared and confused...She didn't see a monster or anything...But then, just where exactly did it came from..?
"Heh, heh..." began the boy awkwardly, "I guess that I'm kind of hungary...Got some ramen at the palace maybe…?" he asked casually, scratching the back of his spiky head.
Hinata nodded nervously, as well as she awkwardly giggled in response, "Um, yes I think so..."
