Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow- part two
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, but I do own Akemi.
Summary: Akemi Nakahara is back! You've watched her journey through the series, and now watch as she navigates her way through the movies.
Hi guys, sorry about the AN I left, but I have replaced that for this new chapter. I just want to say that I will not be stopping this story and I will not be deleting these stories either. You guys were right, I shouldn't let this fraud win.
Just to give you guys and update, I have tried to contact this person but they haven't responded to me at all. I private messaged them to give them a chance to explain why they did this. Since I have received no answer, I have been reporting the stories and still nothing has been done about it. I have posted on the discussion page so everyone can see that Haruka has plagiarised my story. I have also decided to post both completed stories on Quotev just to prove that I am the original author. I have even named the stories the Original Retelling of Naruto/Shippuden just to make a point.
I have also recently found out that Haruka did accredit me, stating in the summary that I am the original author. I originally didn't see this as I was too angry to notice this fine detail that wasn't very noticeable. However, they also state that I am an old friend, which is a lie. I do not know this person and do not wish to be associated with them. They said they wanted to share this story in their summary, but never once asked permission for this.
I want to thank everyone for the support they have given me, I really do appreciate it. It is because of you guys that I realised that I shouldn't let Haruka win. You guys have stood by me since the beginning and I will not let you down.
Also, I want to thank chibijmix who posted on the discussion boared telling everyone that I was the original author. Seeing that really made my day and it really warmed by heart to know that my followers are standing by me.
But these stories will continue!
NARUTO
Kakashi looked at me blankly. He then looked over at the rest of his students and saw that they were ready to go, much like I was. Kakashi watched as Koyuki was taken away Sandayu – her manager – and had more than likely be put on the ship. Now that they had Koyuki, they could sail off quicker, which seemed like the ideal idea as they didn't want the actress running away again. Makino – the director – and everyone else was packing up also, all ready to get on the ship.
"One hour. Pack your stuff and meet at the gates. Remember, we're going somewhere cold, so pack appropriately." Kakashi answered back eventually after a moment of silence. Without another word, he too left.
I nodded my head slowly. Konoha didn't have any docks as there were no large bodies of water around us. However, the nearest dock to us was only a thirty-minute walk from the village itself, which is how it imported a lot of items, such as rare medicine. Konoha produced a lot of items that were sold around the nations, like herbs and food. Konoha was the leading seller in medicine, especially since Tsunade became Hokage.
When Kakashi was out of sight, Naruto grinned and a mischievous look flashed in his eyes. "How about we make a bet?" He asked, a sly tone in his voice.
I looked over to Naruto with narrowed eyes. "What kind of bet?" I asked, feeling cautious. Whenever Naruto had that glint in his eyes, things didn't tend to go right. Either someone ended up angry or property was damaged as a result. The number of times Kakashi had to apologise to civilians caught in the crossfire was actually ridiculous.
Sasuke looked over with an intrigued expression. He didn't say anything and waited for Naruto to finish speaking.
"Let's have a little race. Whoever is finished packing first and arrives as Konoha's gates win." Naruto said, the grin still on his face.
"And what does the winner gain?" Sasuke asked with a raised brow.
Naruto's grin grew wider, "How about the losers have to listen to whatever the winner says for a week?"
My eyes widened slightly. The thought of having Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura following my orders didn't sound very appealing. I didn't know what I would make them do, though I could think of a few funny things. However, it was the bragging right that appealed to me more than anything and made my ego purr in satisfaction. Although, I could tell the thought was also appealing to Naruto because he looked downright excited. Even Sasuke seemed to be thinking about it.
For a moment, Sakura looked enticed by the idea. She sneaked a glance in Sasuke's direction and saw his blank face, which made her mentally shake her head. Sakura scoffed loudly, listening in to what we were saying. "Like hell, I am going to participate with that, right Sasuke-kun?" She said, looking to him for approval.
However, she was ignored by everyone.
"I'm in," I said with a grin.
"So am I," Sasuke said, looking very confident.
Sakura faltered for a moment before yelling out. "If Sasuke-kun is in then so am I!" A determined glint appeared in her eyes, she was going to win this.
I frowned for a moment. I didn't mind Sakura joining in, but the thought of her winning made me shiver in fright. The likelihood of Sakura winning was basically zilch, but I know I should never underestimate any opponent. I knew that if Sakura actually won, she would not be kind and I especially feared for Sasuke.
Quickly, I snapped out of my thoughts. "Ready, set, go!" I yelled out before jumping into the air and heading over to my apartment. I felt everyone else's chakra signature move at lightning speed, everyone was determined to win. However, Naruto's was slower than everyone else and this confused me. However, I mentally shook my head and continued on with the race.
I ran home, pumping chakra into my legs to make myself go even faster. Within seconds, I appeared back home and bolted for my backpack and began throwing in things I would need. I packed my winter cloak, winter clothing that I hardly ever wore. I threw in a few weapons, scrolls and medical equipment. It was at that moment that I was glad that Haku was not there, as I knew he would have distracted me and held me behind. I felt a surge of determination fill me. Usually, when it came to races, Sasuke would win, with me in second place. I didn't want it to be like that this time. I wanted to win against the Uchiha. I wasn't worried about Sakura and only slightly concerned with Naruto. Sasuke was my main competition. All done, I swung my brown backpack over my shoulder and bolted it out of my apartment, making sure to lock it behind me. I bolted on top of the houses and began running, letting the air whip my face as I dashed quickly to the gates of Konoha.
Within seconds, I reached the gate and for a moment, I thought I had won. I stopped in front of the gate, only slightly out of breath, but I think that was the adrenaline rush that I was having at this moment. For a moment, I don't see anyone and that made me feel victorious.
For a moment anyway.
"Hah! I beat you Akemi-chan!" Naruto yelled out with a smug grin. He appeared from behind the tree with his arms crossed over his chest. On his back was a dark brown backpack, filled with all his provision that he would need for the mission.
I stared at Naruto with wide eyes. "What?!" I was completely baffled at how Naruto could have beaten Sasuke and I. "How did you get here so fast? Your apartment is on the other side of Konoha?" I asked him, completely baffled. Naruto was fast, but he wasn't as fast as I or Sasuke. This wasn't me being mean either, it was the truth.
Naruto grinned. "That's what Shadow Clones are for." The glint in his eyes was too smug and so not in Naruto's character.
My mouth dropped for a moment. Just at looking at Naruto's grin, I knew that he had planned this from the start. He had sent a Shadow Clone earlier when we were finding out the details of this bet. He had sent the clone ahead to pack for him and waited. The clone was more than likely coming back to the original by the time we had all split off to pack.
"You Naruto-kun, are a genius." I laughed loudly, throwing my head back in laughter. I couldn't believe it for a moment, but I actually found the situation hilarious.
Naruto looked slightly concerned. "You're not mad?"
I shook my head. "Mad? I am mad that I didn't think of it myself!" I told him honestly. It was times like this that I realised that Naruto was smart. The anime had made him out to be this buffoon that didn't know what he was doing most of the time. But this Naruto, this one I knew, was smart but didn't let too many people know this fact.
This made Naruto relax and he too laughed.
"Looks like Akemi won then," Sasuke said, appearing next to us in a flash. He too had his brown backpack over his shoulder. When he had seen the two of us, he had felt annoyed. Itachi had held him back for a moment, asking him what was happening. It was at that moment that Sasuke regretted Itachi having his day off.
Naruto and I looked at one another before bursting into fits of laughter once more.
Sasuke stared at us with a blank expression. He couldn't understand what was so funny.
I calmed down slightly and turned to Sasuke. "While I am flattered that you hold me in high regard. I didn't win. Naruto-kun won." I told him, the smile still on my face.
Sasuke faltered and his eye twitched.
"Hah! Look who's on top teme!" Naruto exclaimed with a smug expression.
Sasuke glared darkly at the Uzumaki.
"There, there Sasuke," I said, patting his shoulder in mock sympathy. On the inside, I was dying of laughter. I actually didn't mind losing to Naruto because he wasn't rubbing it in my face like Sasuke would with me. Seeing Sasuke get his nose rubbed in his defeat was one of the most satisfying things that I had seen in a while.
Sasuke mumbled lowly. "He probably cheated anyway."
I nodded my head slowly, not replying because I knew I would burst into a fit of laughter once more.
After a few minutes, Sakura appeared with her backpack. She looked at Naruto and me and frowned. But then she looked at Sasuke and beamed brightly. "I knew you would win Sasuke-kun!"
For a moment, no one said anything.
Naruto and I looked at one another once more and burst into laughter. Sasuke's face spoke a thousand words. He looked ready to strike down Naruto and Sakura in one swipe. It had taken Sasuke a few moments to collect himself after his defeat to Naruto, and Sakura had brought it all back in just a few words.
Sakura looked confused. "What's so funny?!" She yelled at us.
"Y-your precious Sasuke-kun didn't win. Naruto-kun did!" I exclaimed loudly, my sides beginning to hurt with how much laughing I was doing. I and Naruto began leaning on one another, nearly falling over because we just couldn't stop.
Sakura looked horrified. "S-Sasuke-kun lost?!"
Sasuke growled lowly at Naruto and me, but we paid no attention to him. We just continued to laugh until we eventually fell to the ground, no longer able to keep ourselves up.
A sigh could be heard. I looked up, trying to catch my breath from laughing so much. I saw Kakashi walking over with a small grin under his mask.
"I leave and you all seem to fall apart." He said with affection in his eye as he looked at us.
I and Naruto shared another grin before getting up. Sakura ended up having to help Naruto up – Kakashi's orders. I went to stand up myself, feeling that my legs were weak from so much laughter. I then saw a hand in my vision and I turn my head to see Sasuke standing next to me, with his arm stretched out, othering me a hand. For a moment, I was shocked because Sasuke hadn't done this before. Usually, when I and Naruto had our laughing fits, Sasuke would roll his eyes at us and walk away. I looked at Sasuke's face and saw he was blushing slightly, he was embarrassed. My gaze softened as I stared at the Uchiha. Sasuke was really trying to make the effort to be friends with me and Naruto. He had pushed everyone away for so long that he didn't know who to communicate with people anymore. But he was trying and that's what mattered most. I had noticed that he was talking more when we met up and he would try to strike up conversations with Naruto, I or Haku.
I smiled at him and took him up in his offer. I grabbed his hand and pulled myself up with Sasuke's help. "Thanks," I told him, slightly out of breath from laughter.
Sasuke awkwardly nodded his head. "No problem." He answered quietly. Without another word, he walked away and began teasing Naruto like he usually would.
I smiled at the scene in front of me. I also made a point of ignoring the venomous glare that Sakura was sending me.
NARUTO
It was around an hour and a half into the journey when Koyuki woke up to a shock. Koyuki had burst from her room and screamed out in shock when she saw that we were in the middle of the ocean – something she had been trying to avoid. I smirked victoriously. Since Koyuki hadn't gone to the bar in Konoha, her uncle's spy wouldn't have noticed her and we had been able to sail off hours earlier than we had in the anime. I just hoped that this meant it was going to be a smoother ride than it was in the anime.
When I looked around the ship, I noticed how crowded and messy it was. There was a lot of equipment scattered around so they could make the set when they starting shooting. The crew members were assembling the background, making it look like there had been a battle on the ship and Makino was picky about what time they started shooting as he wanted the perfect lighting for the movie.
Honestly, it was exhausting watching Makino.
Kakashi stood, leaning on the railing of the ship, with Sasuke beside him. I was sat on the ground with Naruto and Sakura was stood on the other side of us. We were all watching as everyone was getting the set together and Koyuki was getting her makeup and costume sorted. I watched as Koyuki seemed to be out of it like she was completely zoned out.
"She's completely different from what I thought she would be. I don't like her attitude." Naruto commented with a frown.
I frowned and didn't say anything. I could tell how disappointed Naruto was by meeting Koyuki. I had known what she was going to be like so I didn't really care, but Naruto did.
Kakashi looked down at his student, looking away from his perverted book. "What are you saying, Naruto? We have to protect her, no matter what. This is an important mission. "
Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura all look at Kakashi. "Mission?" Sakura asked, looking confused by what he said.
I rolled my eyes. "What did you think this was? A vacation? This is why Kakashi-sensei asked us to watch the movie, right sensei?" I asked, looking at up the scarecrow with a grin on my face. Of course, I knew the answer, I just wanted to rub it in Sakura's face.
Sakura glared at me.
Kakashi chuckled from under his mask. "Of course, Akemi." He said, patting my head lightly.
Sasuke looked at me, arching his eyebrow in my direction. Naruto was also sending me a look. I knew that they were going to grab me later that day to ask for more information. I just grinned mischievously in their direction as a response.
"What rank is this mission?" Naruto asked, looking intrigued.
"An A-rank mission," Kakashi answered simply.
Sasuke frowned. "I can't believe that guarding an actress is going to be difficult." He said, looking at Kakashi with a sceptical expression.
"That's not true Sasuke. Famous people are often targeted. Furthermore, it's difficult to know who the enemy is. So be extremely careful." Kakashi explained to the youngest Uchiha.
I frowned and looked at the ground. I knew who the enemy was. The enemy was Dotō, Koyuki's uncle. There was also those three Land of the Snow ninja that we'd have to face too. My thoughts wondered to their chakra armour and how we could possibly fight against it. It negated all jutsu, but surely there had to be a weak spot.
Naruto leaned closer to me. "Akemi-chan, do you know?" He whispered softly, so Sakura couldn't listen in.
I glanced over at Sakura. She was still marvelling over the actors on the ship, she wouldn't have paid attention to what Naruto was saying. "Later, Naruto-kun," I told him with a smirk on my face.
Naruto grinned back in response.
Sasuke looked over, his gaze narrowed.
"Action!"
Our attention was stolen when everything was ready. All the cameramen were ready to go as they began filming. They were filming the scene when Koyuki discovered that one of her followers had been hit with a killer blow and was dying. I watched as Koyuki acted, in real life and became Princess Fuun. To say I was impressed was an understatement. I watched as she went from a zombie to an emotional princess and was screaming the name of the person who was dying. I looked at Naruto and saw that he was staring at the scene in front of him in amazement. He couldn't believe the transformation Koyuki had made and was in awe. I looked at Sakura and she had a familiar expression. However, I turned to Sasuke and he didn't look impressed.
I stood up and sat on the railing, next to Sasuke. Sasuke spared me a glance but otherwise kept his gaze on the ocean.
"Aren't you going to watch?" I whispered over to him, keeping an eye on the scene in front of me.
Sasuke scoffed. "Not interested."
I nodded my head slowly.
"What I am interested in is this mission," Sasuke said, looking directly into my eyes.
I smirked. I knew Sasuke wanted information, information that I had. Naruto and Sasuke had started to hold back asking me about what is going to happen next – mostly. Ever since they found out about that I came from a different universe, they had been a little weird, but a funny kind of weird. Over any littlest thing that happened, they asked if I knew what was going to happen. Naruto was especially insistent on this. Honestly, I didn't expect anything different though. It was a big bombshell to handle, and I thought that they were doing amazingly. They had calmed down after I had to remind that I didn't know everything.
"I'll explain everything later," I whispered quietly, keeping an eye on Sakura. I didn't want her listening in because I didn't want to deal with a headache later.
NARUTO
The sun was setting and quite frankly I had been bored. There was only so many times I could watch an actor do the same scene over and over again. Koyuki had been brilliant and had only needed one to two shots of the same scene – mainly because she needed her eye drops. However, it had been her co-stars that would mess up their lines or would laugh in a serious moment. But then they needed close-up shots and side shots of the exact same scene. It was too repetitive for my taste. I liked movies, but seeing it being filmed really did take the magic away for me. By the end, Kakashi had sent us all to bed, telling us we needed sleep. But I knew that I was going to end up in talking to Naruto and Sasuke about the mission. Kakashi had sent me a look too, and I knew that he would be too there. I had seen him stare at Koyuki all today, he had recognised her immediately after seeing her. He had helped save her ten years ago when he was still in the ANBU.
Kakashi had got his own room. Naruto and Sasuke would have to share, and I would share with Sakura, something I wasn't frilled about. Neither I nor Sakura spoke to one another as we walked into our room. I silently chose the bed closest to the door and Sakura took the other bed without a word.
It was only when I placed my bag down on the bed, did Sakura speak.
"You know something," Sakura said so suddenly that it almost made me jump.
I turned my head to see Sakura staring at me. "What do I know?" I asked with narrowed eyes. For a moment, I was worried that she knew something about me. Had she been listening in to the short conversation I had with Sasuke or Naruto?
Sakura crossed her arms over her chest. "With Sasuke-kun. Something has changed in him and I know you know something." She said, accusation in her tone.
I relaxed slightly, she hadn't been listening in. "That is no one's business other than Sasuke's," I said turning my back to her. She wanted to talk about Sasuke and I wasn't interested. It was times like this that I really wished that I didn't have a fangirl has a teammate. If only I had Hinata on the team. That way I would really try and match her Naruto together.
"Sasuke's changed. He's talking more to you and Naruto." Sakura sneered as if the idea was completely preposterous and disgusting.
Now, this riled me up. The way she said Naruto's name sickened me. It was as though she was looking down on him. I didn't care what she said about me, because she had used the same tone. But when she spoke about others – especially people who I consider family – then that was a different story.
"Your point?" I hissed lowly, trying to stop myself from reacting. I hated to admit it, but she was right. Sasuke had been spending more time with Naruto and I. He was more inclined to train with us and not on his own anymore, which he used to do all the time.
Sakura rolled her eyes. "I mean, why is he wasting time on you guys? He is more open with everyone else, but me. Have you turned him against me?" She demanded, glaring in my direction.
I took a big breath in, trying to calm myself down. There was a bubble of irritation in my chest, one that was reminiscent to when we were in the Land of Waves. However, I would not let her get to me like last time. I refused to let myself get agitated by someone so petty.
"Have you ever thought that he just doesn't like you? All you do is whine and you don't even train." I answered back to her.
Sakura let out a shriek of anger. "Excuse me?!"
Without another word, I picked up my backpack and swung it over my shoulder. I then walked over to the door and opened it.
"Where are you going!?" Sakura exclaimed loudly.
"Away from you. I refuse to share a room with someone I don't trust." I said without a shred of emotion. Since I had my back to Sakura, I didn't see her flinch when I slammed the door shut behind me.
I walked a few doors down and knocked. After a few seconds, Naruto answered the door and looked confused. "What's up Akemi-chan?" He asked, stepping aside so I could enter the room. Sasuke was on the other bed, looking confused to see me also.
"Any chance I could sleep in here. Sakura is being unbearable." I said with a heavy sigh.
Understanding flashed in Naruto's eyes. "Of course, I'm sure teme won't mind," Naruto said, looking over to the only Uchiha in the room. Naruto had a feeling that things weren't going too well when he could hear Sakura yelling from a few doors down. Sasuke and Naruto had wanted to go and check to see what was happening, but then it had gone quiet.
Sasuke looked at us blankly. "I don't care."
I sighed in relief. "Thanks, guys," I said walking in and setting my bag down on the ground, leaning it against a wall. I then walked over to Naruto's bed and sat down, leaning against the wall and facing Sasuke. Naruto sat down beside me after a few seconds, also leaning against like the wall.
"So," Sasuke said, leaning backwards to get himself comfortable. "What can you tell us?" He looked directly at me, waiting for an answer.
Naruto also looked at me, waiting for an answer.
I pursed my lip for a moment. I had noticed that the minute Naruto had closed the door, Sasuke had placed a soundproofing jutsu around the room. So, I knew that it was safe to speak freely at the moment. "Well, for starters, Yukie Fujikaze is actually Koyuki Kazahana, the Princess of the Land of Snow," I said after thinking for a moment. I thought that this would be a good place to start because there was a lot of this story.
Naruto eyes widened. "She's a real princess?!"
Sasuke smirked. "How ironic that she is playing the role of a Princess."
I nodded my head, I had found the irony quite amusing too. "However, when Koyuki was younger, her father was killed by her Uncle, Dotō Kazahana and he set fire to the palace. Kakashi saved Koyuki as she a child and got her away."
"Why would he do such a thing?" Naruto asked with a frown.
"He wanted the Land of Snow's treasure. It's a Hexagonal Crystal and it's the only key to the treasure, which Koyuki is in possession of. Her father gave it to her it to hide it from his brother, right before he was assassinated." I said, holding back the urge to clasp onto the crystal around my neck. I had placed a decoy on Koyuki and she hadn't seemed to have noticed yet. I had the real crystal because I knew how many problems it was going to cause. Also, I liked how pretty it was. I loved the design of it and how it looked. I couldn't help myself and I knew that I had to have it for a while. Back in my old life, I did have a few problems with stealing, I swear I was secretly a kleptomaniac. Honestly, the treasure itself that Dotō wanted wasn't that interesting. It was a heat generator that could get rid of the snow and allow the village to have spring. But that didn't mean that I wanted Dotō to get his hands on it.
Sasuke nodded his head slowly. "So, the uncle wants Koyuki back and he's hunting her down."
"Exactly," I told him. "The Uncle didn't kill Koyuki's dad alone. He had three skilled rogue ninja with him that helped him. We will be seeing them shortly." I warned them. Those three rogue ninjas were powerful. One of them could go toe-to-toe with Kakashi, and the same one wanted to finish the battle he had with Kakashi, all those years ago.
Naruto grinned. "Sounds easy enough. We just need to take down the uncle and Koyuki will take her rightful place."
I frowned but didn't say anything. It wasn't going to be easy at all. Koyuki was terrified of the Land of Snow and it would take a lot of convincing her. In the anime, Naruto was severely battered just to make her realise. I hoped I could avoid Naruto getting injured that much this time around. However, my main concern at that moment was the chakra armours and how we could combat them. I had a few ideas, but I didn't know how effective they were, and I wouldn't know until we saw them.
NARUTO SHIPPUDEN
By the time morning came, there was a commotion outside. When the assistant director woke up that morning, he had spotted a massive iceberg that was blocking their path to the Land of Snow. Technically, we had already entered the Land of Snow, but we weren't at the mainland just yet. However, Makino had seen this as a great opportunity and thought that he had been blessed by the movie gods. He thought that it would be a brilliant idea to shoot some of the scenes on the mountain of an iceberg. Hence, why everyone was awake and why I was stood in the cold, where I didn't want to be.
We were all dressed in our winter clothes. The white medic skirt was still there, but it went over my long black spandex. On my arms, I wore long arm sleeved underneath my flowy kimono top. I also had my light brown cloak over myself, feeling myself shiver in the cold. I was looking at the ship with a longing expression. I had been nice and toasty in the bed with Naruto. I swear that boy was like a radiator – which I highly appreciated in this weather.
I let out a yawn, still tired. Sometimes, it wasn't a good thing that Naruto and I were together because we just spent a lot of the night talking to one another. In the end, Sasuke had to tell us to shut up and go to sleep.
Sasuke smirked beside me. "It's what you get for staying up last night."
I narrowed my eyes. "Shut up," I muttered lowly, still feeling tired. I could feel my eyes drooping and it took everything in me to not fall asleep there and then. I could handle one all-nighter, but two was just criminal.
Sasuke chuckled and shook his head.
Suddenly, I felt three chakra signatures flare up and my eyes shot open. They weren't familiar and I had a feeling they were Dotō's ninja. I immediately reached into my cloak and grabbed my Sais, holding them up. I was proven right very quickly. As Kakashi jumped into the front of Koyuki while sending an attack into the mountains nearby. Kakashi had intercepted an attack from Nadare Rōga as there were two sets of smoke floating in the air. One was an ashier colour and the other smoke a dark black.
"What are you doing?!" Makino yelled out, upset that they had ruined his filming. All the crewmen stopped what they were doing, watching what was unfolding in front of them.
Sasuke looked around, alert. His hand was near his pouch, ready to attack at many moments. He also had his Sharingan activated.
Naruto was also alert, no longer feeling as tired as he did a moment ago. He had jumped up from his sitting position and was looking around frantically.
Nadare Rōga appeared from his hiding spot within the mountain not too far away from where we were. "Just thought we'd welcome you into the Land of Snow," Nadare said with a smirk on his face. He was excited to finally get his rematch with Kakashi, something he had been waiting years for.
Kakashi glared at him with one eye, immediately recognising him.
I felt someone appear next to Sasuke and me next to the pillar of ice. Turning my head, I see Fubuki Kakuyoku, the female of Dato's ninja standing on top of the ice pillar. "I welcome you, Princess Koyuki. Did you bring the hexagonal crystal?" She asked with a smirk etched onto her face.
Kakashi only spared Koyuki a glance. I and Kakashi had already had our talk. After briefing Naruto and Sasuke, Kakashi had pulled me out of the room. Initially, Kakashi wanted to know why I wasn't sharing with Sakura, but he hadn't pressed this issue too much. He knew that I and Sakura didn't get on.
Looking away for a moment, I then saw Mizore Fuyukuma jump out from the snow, this time near Naruto. "As expected from Hatake Kakashi. I can't get any closer to you than here." He said while laughing.
Kakashi turned his head slightly to us. "Naruto, Akemi, Sasuke and Sakura. You guys protect Koyuki-san." He was making sure that Nadare was still in his line of sight as he didn't want any unexpected surprises.
I nodded my head, along with everyone else.
"Everyone, get back on the ship!" Kakashi yelled out a warning to all the crew. The crew looked at one another, unsure of whether to move or not. After a few moments of the silent debate, they all got up and moved, with Makino still demanding that they film.
Nadare looked at his other two teammates. "Fubuki, Mizore. Get Princess Koyuki." As he said this, be began running, aiming for Kakashi.
Kakashi charged at Nadare, aiming to fight him. They both stopped when they were a few feet from one another.
"It's been a while, Kakashi. Not going to run away this time?" Nadare asked with a taunting smile.
Kakashi glared at him and didn't bother to answer him. Without another word, they both attacked, using Taijutsu at the moment. Their attacks would meet and instantly break off. It was obvious to any outsiders that they seemed to be at the same level as one another. Nadare was able to go toe-to-toe with Kakashi, and Kakashi wasn't backing down in his attacks.
Naruto, I, Sasuke and Sakura all made a formation around Koyuki, protecting her. The two actors near her, ran away as quick as they could back to the ship.
Naruto grinned in excitement. "This seems just like in the movies. Don't worry Princess, we'll protect you." He said this while charging at Mizore.
As he did this, Mizore pulled out a ski board and jumped onto it. He smoothly slid by Naruto and skated past him a few times. As Mizore did this, Sasuke took the opportunity to throw some kunai his way, only for the kunai to be repulsed. A purple shield pulsed around Mizore, protecting him from any harm. Sasuke threw another one, this time a massive shuriken, only for it to meet the same fate and be destroyed.
I looked at Sakura. "Take her and go back to the ship," I told her, my voice blunt and to the point. We needed to get her out before Sasuke used one of his fire jutsu and would make Koyuki have a traumatic flashback of when her home was burnt down.
Sakura nodded her head and grabbed Koyuki by the hand, leading her away. She gently whispered something to the princess and they began moving. Koyuki's eyes were wide in horror and shock, but she managed to move.
Just as they were about to leave, Fubuki jumped closer and made some hand seals. "Hyoton: Koori Tsubame No Jutsu!" Ice forms around her and a rather large group of sharpened kunai shaped icicles. They all flew in Sasuke's direction, aiming for him.
I was about to help when I felt a fourth chakra signature that I didn't recognise. I looked near the ship and noticed a figure appear from the snow. It was a man who looked to be in his late twenties. He had long brown hair tied up in a ponytail. He had blue eyes and was in the same gear as his other teammates. Seeing him, my eyes widened. There wasn't a fourth teammate in the anime and this seriously threw me off. Without another thought, I sprang into action and charged in his direction to stop him before he could reach Koyuki and Sakura. Just as this man was about to reach out for the princess, I jumped at him and aimed a kick at his head. At the last moment, the man jumped out of the way in time, this time further away from Koyuki and Sakura.
"Who are you?" I demanded, my eyes narrowed at him.
The man gave me an appraising glance. "You have fast reflexes. My name is Akihiko Yamamoto, and who am I fighting today?" He smiled in my direction, flashing his wide and white grin. His teeth seemed to shine against the snowy terrain.
For a moment I was thrown aside. Akihiko was really charming and I found that my face was getting warm looking at him. "Akemi Nakahara," I told him, taking a moment to compose myself.
Akihiko smiled. "Then I have one request for you, Akemi-chan. Make this interesting for me and don't be boring." He said, his smile only growing wider.
I stared at him for a moment, unsure of how to answer. I had never had this type of request before. Actually, I don't think an enemy had ever requested anything from me.
"I don't like boring people." He said, his smile turning sinister. The aura around him turned very dark, so dark that it sent a shiver down my spine.
After a few moments, I found myself smirking. "You'll find that I am anything but boring," I said, putting away my Sais. I didn't want to risk them getting broken because I really didn't like this pair. After watching what happened to Sasuke's weapons, I wasn't going to risk it.
Akihiko's eyes seemed to light up as his smile formed into a smirk.
Within seconds, we were both gone from our spots. I charged at him at the exact time he charged at me. I aimed a kick at him, and he did the exact same. Our attack met in the middle and we both jumped away from each other. I aimed a punch in his direction and he caught it easily. I flipped my body over his head and aimed a kick at his neck. Akihiko grabbed my foot and threw me away. I grabbed six kunai from my pouch, each with exploding tags on them and I threw them at Akihiko. Akihiko's eyes widen and tried to jump away, only to get caught in the explosion. There had been too many for him to completely doge. Once the smoke cleared, I saw some damage on the armour which satisfied me. However, I also noticed the smirk on Akihiko's face, he looked delighted that I had injured him.
"I have a feeling I am going to enjoy crushing you," Akihiko muttered softly.
I was about to respond, but at that moment, I felt Kurama's chakra flare up. My eyes widened as I looked out for Naruto. I found him fighting with Mizore. Naruto's eyes were red, but he wasn't emitting Kurama's chakra like he usually would. I felt myself calm slightly, knowing that Naruto wasn't going to lose control.
However, my attention was soon brought back when I felt Akihiko appear in front of me. I instantly jumped back, just barely missing Akihiko's attack. I didn't say anything and our dance commenced once more. Akihiko's attacks became more insistent and full of passion. He was really enjoying this. I could see it in his blue eyes that he was enjoying himself. As we attacked each other using Taijutsu, my thoughts trailed to the chakra armour. It was similar to my own – it's where I had originally got my idea to make a chakra shield of my own – but theirs was in a physical form. I knew that jutsu had absolutely no effect so I wasn't going to waste my chakra. However, I remembered that Taijutsu seemed to be the most effective, along with explosive tags.
I was pulled away from my thoughts when a massive whale made of ice broke out from the ground below me and Akihiko. I quickly jumped away onto safer ice and Akihiko seemed to do the same. I looked around and saw that Dotō's ninja had been separated from us and Kakashi was doing this so we could make our escape.
I looked at Akihiko and saluted him. "Until we meet again," I said with a smirk.
Amusement flashed in his eyes. "Indeed." He said, standing on the ice calmly.
Seeing an opportunity, I ran back to Naruto and Sasuke. Now together, we rushed back to the ship to make our escape with Kakashi. On Kakashi's back was an unconscious Sakura, who had got in the way of Mizore's attack when he tried to grab Koyuki. As we reached the ship, I noticed that Makino and the crew were still filming, all with looks of awe on their faces. I nearly laughed at this. Of course, Makino wouldn't stop filming, no matter what.
NARUTO
Hey guys, another chapter done!
Tell me, what do you guys think about Akihiko? I thought it would be a fun idea to add him so Akemi could have someone to fight.
At the end of this movie, I will reveal what Naruto will make Akemi, Sasuke and Sakura do. If you guys have any ideas what Naruto's (evil) plan should be then leave me a comment in either my PM or a review!
Also, it's more than likely that I will be splitting these movies up into more than three chapters, more like four or five. I forgot that I tended to pad things out (it's been that long) and I am not willing to write longer chapters anymore because it's so time consuming.
