Chapter 1

Like any other mornings, the early canaries began their soulful choir of simultaneous melody, bringing live and warmth into the land called Konoha. Today was like no other, the harmonious chirping rung throughout the land, pleasing folks and children. Mornings like this were much appreciated by the people as it stimulate a wonderful sensation that brightened their moods tenfold.

Some called this happiness while others described it as love.

The prince acknowledged it as sound pollution.

Like any other mornings, as the sun rise in its majestic glory, the prince carried out his daily routine without fail. In his spacey chamber, a loud and deep rumble would be heard by the guards guarding outside, seconds followed would be a toss and a thump of a certain object landing on the ground.

Once, a newly employed guard peeped into the room out of curiosity after guarding for a fortnight. He was unlucky; the prince caught him and he was thrown out of the castle. It was rumoured that he sold his piece of information to a troop of maniacs in love with the prince. Anyhow, news spread out that the prince performs a traditional ritual in the mornings. He would jump on his fluffy bed while chanting "I'm sexy! I'm sexy!" then proceeds to strip himself bare, tossing his attire onto the floor, thus creating the toss and thump sound.

Queer… yet many villagers seemed to believe in the gibberish tale.

Today, we will have an inset of the genuine story.

Chirp. Chirp.

"Shut up, you ungrateful measly birds! Have mercy on poor me, I just want to sleep!!"

Comforter pulled back by a pair of hands, the crown prince of Konoha could be seen in bed, his lips pulled into a frown. Rubbing invincible dust from his clear blue eyes, he would then proceed to head towards the balcony all the while mumbling incoherent words as his mood gradually get worse.

"Everyday I give you high class food, I spent a fortune to build those little birdhouses and you are still here? I could buy thousand bowls of ramen with the money but no, I spent it on you, just to get better sleep, and you are still doing this to me? GET LOST, FOR GOD'S SAKE!!!!!!"

His name was Naruto, Prince Naruto, the crown prince of the infamous King Kakashi and late-Queen Iruka. Although he was their son, he looked like neither of them. At the tender age of eighteen, he was well built and tan. Also, he had the most amazing blue eyes and his head was full of sun kissed blond hair. Yes, he did not resemble them at all…

"Damn father for not changing my room! Damn him for not making the room sound proof! Damn him for…" he would complain, taking random projectiles which were close to him and aim at the birds. The birds were to clever however, after one of their companions got killed in the earlier days, they had learnt to be more careful. It was a wonderful sight, worth a spot in the circus! The birds could maneuver themselves like planes!

If Naruto was lucky, nothing would be broken. He was more unlucky than lucky though.

In a different chamber, King Kakashi sneezed once.

"Someone is cursing me"


Like any other mornings, Queen Orochimaru could be seen in his dungeon, standing in front of a mirror; a smirk in place. The mirror was bought from one of the merchants in the market, a product copied from the bestseller novel, "Icha Icha Kodomo" by Lord Jiraiya. It was magnificent and handy. You switched it on and the mirror would reply.

Matters such as the birds were never a problem with the Queen.

"Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?" Orochimaru will ask every morning.

And the answer would always be the same.

"You… are the fairest in the land"

"Muahahahahahaha!!! I know, I know! I am the fairest in the land! Muahahahaha!!!"

"You…. You… fa-fa-fairest…….."

Queen Orochimaru stared at the mirror intently; the mirror had never spoilt before. This was his first encounter. He was a genius; he should be able to fix it, right? He tried shaking it, tapping it, kicking it but nothing seemed to work.

"Fa-fa-fa-fa-fairest…………"

Queen Orochimaru knew he could not fix it. The mirror was broken! The Queen was devastated, he couldn't live without it, and he needed it to know he was the fairest!

An idea struck him; he decided to bring it back to the stall where he bought it. Rummaging through his things, finally he found it!

His warrantee letter!

"Kabuto! Bring this mirror to the stall, I want it fixed. Bring this warrantee letter with you. Do not dare come back if it's not done!" the Queen called out loud.

A figure from the dark appeared before the Queen unexpectedly. He bowed his head low and replied, "Yes, my Queen"


Naruto stride into the main hall angrily, he had enough. The birds would have to go. Again, he had spent hours with the birds. He refused to look like Gaara, his old friend who was living in the forest with six other friends. He did not want panda eyes; he had an image to keep. He needed his looks to impress the ladies in court. Not that he preferred girls or anything, but it was his duty as prince to look his best at all times.

King Kakashi was eating his lunch in the dining area. Lord Jiraiya and Lady Tsunade were with him too, discussing about the country and future. Upon the prince's arrival, both the advisors greeted, "Good afternoon, prince"

"Father, the birds really have to go, else I need another room" Naruto fumed, sitting on his chair. He searched around the table, confirming the absence of the food he liked and ordered the maid to bring some ramen.

"Naruto, stop being a child. A man is not supposed to get worked up over some birds. I'm getting older, and I know my time is near. It's a matter of time before you are promoted to be King." King Kakashi said calmly in between spoonfuls of soup.

"Damn it, father! You don't understand at all!" Naruto exclaimed, standing up. Lord Jiraiya and Lady Tsunade looked from the King to the prince, not bothering to say anything. Verbal fights like this always happened between father and son.

"Bring my food to my room, I'm not eating here anymore" Naruto ordered as he stomped off to his room. As soon as he was out of sight, King Kakashi looked at Lord Jiraiya and Lady Tsunade, expression serious.

"I need to talk to both of you, it's about Naruto."


"Damn it! Why can't for once he listen to me?"

In the long corridor connecting to the Orochimaru Garden, Naruto caught a glimpse of something big and shiny. He headed into the garden. He had never once stepped in here before as it was his stepmother's compound. The atmosphere was different and kind of creepy. The decoration was plain… weird.

Naruto found out that the big and shiny thing was a mirror. Naruto knew trespassing was wrong but curiousity overtook him. He looked around the place, making sure nobody was around and reached out for the mirror.

"What have we here?" Naruto asked no one in particular and stroked the intricate designs on the mirror. He saw a button resembling a switch and flicked it on.

"You are the fairest in the land"

Naruto was taken aback! The mirror talked! He took two steps back and bumped into something, or rather someone. He turned around. It was the Queen, Queen Orochimaru and he did not look that good.

"Err… Err.. I'm sorry for trespassing, I…err… I will be leaving now!"

Naruto ran as fast as he could. Within moments, he was out of sight. The garden was quiet again.

"Kabuto!" Orochimaru hollered, his expression cold.

"Yes, my Queen"

"I want that fool dead, and bring back his heart"

"Yes, my Queen"
