Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Princess and Warrior. Enjoy the 1000- word chapter. I don't own Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto, Viz Media and a few others do.
(Hidden Leaf Village, misty forest.)
"You know, I'm not trying to sound mopey… But we're possibly walking into a trap."
Fuya said, turning to Kaguya as she turned and nodded, the mist that was beginning to occur didn't seem normal and Kaguya and Fuya hadn't spotted even a bit of mist at their village.
Something was going on and it hadn't occurred to the princess or Fuya that they might be in danger until a Kunai slammed into a tree, the mist grew deeper as Fuya, Kaguya and Hiroki were forced back to back.
"Well, at least now my bad feeling wasn't for nothing."
Fuya muttered as 2 dozen men appeared out of the mist, Fuya only saw headbands on some of their heads and thus assumed them to simply be hired muscle with only a few being missing nin.
"Go after the ones with headbands, the others are just hired muscle."
Fuya muttered as Kaguya nodded and made several handsigns.
"All-Killing Ash Bones Jutsu!"
Kaguya yelled as several sharp needles like spears formed out of her hands as she fired them as Fuya pulled out a Kunai, cursing that he hadn't fully perfected one of his Jutsu's for the battle as another wave of Kunai followed, Kaguya shot them out of the air as if they were simply grains of salt.
"You shouldn't have attacked a princess, especially a Otsutsuki!"
Kaguya hissed as her attacks batted away the throwing knives and pined several of the thugs to trees.
Hiroki looked surprised as Kaguya turned to Fuya.
"Use your Jutsu, they're not going to be able to get close yet."
Kaguya said as Fuya looked at the Princess then back as he nodded and made several handsigns before cracking his neck.
"Flames of Destruction Jutsu!"
Fuya muttered as he fired a beam of fire from his hands, scorching the trees and burning the grass as the mist was blasted away.
The thugs ran for cover as Kaguya and Fuya looked at Hiroki.
"Sensei, what now?"
Kaguya asked as Hiroki as Kaguya and Fuya looked at the charging thugs as they charged forward.
"Like Fuya said, target the ones with headbands first, Fuya… Help me take out the rest of the scum."
The Sensei ordered as Fuya nodded and stepped back from a punch from one of the thugs before kicking him in the chest, knocking him into a tree as Hiroki easily knocked aside a punch from another of the thugs before punching him in the head, knocking him backwards before he was finished off by one of Kaguya's ash spears.
Kaguya skated between the thugs, easily batting aside a kick before killing the man with a Kunai to his ribs as she turned and leaned back to avoid another punch as she turned to see a Kunai being swung in her direction.
"Die, you damn freak!"
The Ninja hissed as Kaguya grabbed his wrist and batted the weapon out of his hand before tossing him into the path of his comrades.
"I'm not a freak, I'm a Kunoichi."
Kaguya stated with a smirk as Fuya jump kicked another thug, knocking him into a tree as he spun two Kunai in his hands.
"Hey, don't you jackasses know it's not polite to insult a Princess?"
Fuya said as he ducked under a kunai before he was launched into a tree by a kick from one of the Ninjas, causing him to wince as Kaguya killed him with 2 more ash spears as she turned to the remaining thugs.
"Either retreat or be slain…. I will not allow you to harm Fuya."
Kaguya hissed as the thugs could almost taste the killing intent coming off the princess and the smarter Ninja thugs took off.
"This isn't worth the money, forget this!"
One of the Ninjas hissed as the remaining 10 or so regular thugs remained.
"Your paycheck is worth more than your lives?"
Kaguya asked, tilting her head as one of the thugs shrugged while the others nodded.
"Very well, your demise is your own fault."
Kaguya stated as she rushed the thugs with Hiroki killing another by punching him in the ribs and causing him to collapse into the lake.
"Fuya, get up, this isn't over yet!"
Hiroki yelled as he watched Kaguya roundhouse kick one of the thugs in the chest, grunting in pain as another punched her in the back before she finished both men off with an explosive tag.
"Ok, this has gone far enough, Whirlwind Displacement Jutsu!"
Hiroki yelled, making several handsigns as a massive cyclone of wind formed above the thugs, pulling them in as Kaguya anchored herself with her ash spears.
"So… You're an Otsutsuki… I forgot, you take a lot after your mother… As for you Fuya… I didn't expect such a powerful Fire Jutsu… But we're going to work on that… Kaguya, how did you learn the All-Killing Ash Bones Jutsu?"
Hiroki asked, crossing his arms as he looked over the two, both sheepishly grinned.
"I'll work on that Jutsu, Hiroki Sensei!"
Fuya yelled as the Leaf Jonin looked at Kaguya next as her grin turned to a frown.
"It's a long story, Hiroki Sensei… One I wish to explain later if that's alright?"
Kaguya asked as Hiroki looked at the duo before sighing.
'These two are going to drive me insane… But hopefully that's for the best… It will at least give me time to find out more about Kaguya's power and her connection to Fuya.'
Hiroki thought as he turned to the two Genin.
"C'mon, we have to catch up to Kakashi and the others."
Hiroki ordered as the two Genin to follow him as they nodded and fell into line with their leader.
'This is going to be a long day.'
Hiroki thought as he sighed and led the duo towards the other Leaf Ninja.
