Chapter 3

Naruto POV:

Konoha….its actually a small kingdom…not overly big like Seireitei or that damn something mundo….its a peaceful kingdom under the rule of Urahara Kisuke, my uncle. The fire territory castle villages is relatively big with population over 200000 inhabitant the village…the kingdom itself is one of 5 elemental kingdoms that consisted and based on elements: fire, water, lighting, earth and wind.

Each land had their own ruler hi no kuni which the capital is Konoha is ruled by my uncle, Urahara Kisuke, kumo which located on land of lighting currently being ruled by Ay the current emperor which according to Toushiro nee-sama is currently grooming his sworn brother Bee to taken his seat as emperor in next few years, Ame ga kure or often called Ame is located in water territory which ruled by big brother (he hated being called uncle) Yagura…he is in a sense rather taking a liking toward Nee-sama which he shower with adorations and gifts and rather fierce on protecting Nee-sama virtue that to the point both father and uncle Urahara happy whenever he visited because Yagura only seeing Nee-sama as a beloved sister or maybe even as a daughter. Next is Iwa or often called Iwa ga kure…located in earth territory and ruled by what both father and Nee-sama often called him as stubborn old timer Oonoki…Oonoki is a war harden man that right now is almost reaching his 89 years old once again according to nee-sama and lastly is Suna ga kure that located o wind territory…ruled by Sasori which is Uchiha Itachi friend's boyfriend or what Sasuke once said….Sasuke once said that Sasori is currently searching a way to bring back his most youngest nephew (which no one seems to know whoever this mysterious youngest nephew of king Sasori) and make him as the king of Suna and I once overheard from a conversation between Itachi and Nee-sama that Itachi said Sasori often complained and whined that he hates his position and how he wished someone just took over and freed him from the hell bend and the ban of all rulers have to suffer…PAPERWORKS.

Anyway as I done with my mussing, I then change my dress into more relaxing black T-shirt with red swirls that is my mom clan symbol, the Uzumaki clan which I also cover with a tangerine colored jacket that also have the design of Uzumaki clan on it and then I wear a matching orange skirt along with black stocking and black with orange strips boots. After I done dressing, I then styled my hair with one-sided ponytail which I finished it with black and orange straps ribbon which is a present from Ichigo nee-san on my 15th birthday which was last year…after I finished everything I then jumped from the window and sneaking around to go out from the castle,

As I managed to get out from the castle undetected…I then walked to the castle town. As I walked around the town, I noticed some people send glares at me which I already gotten used at from the castle servants. As I walked aimlessly for few hours…I then decided to visit Hinata-chan and Neji-san who lived near the center of Konoha as one of many noble families of Konoha which known as Hyuuga. Hinata-chan also the girlfriend of the teme aka Uchiha Sasuke which always makes me wonder what did she saw in him and meanwhile Neji is the lover of Toushiro nee-sama best friend, advisor and caretaker Nara Shikamaru. Nara Shikamaru is the laziest person in the planet not that that is uncommon, Nara clan who also one of the noble of Konoha known as one of the laziest and the smartest people on the earth which somehow and someway that the laziness only infected the male of Nara. It's a common practice in royal family of Konoha for always having a Nara as their advisor…my father has Nara Shikaku as his advisor who also the father of Shikamaru while uncle Urahara has Nara Shikaaru who worked for him as advisor of war tactic in which Shikaaru is the father of Shikaku and grandfather of Shikamaru and as both I and Ichigo nee-san still haven't appointed a Nara as our advisors yet. As I still thinking for what should I brought as souvenirs for both of nee-sama and nee-san I finally arrived at the front door of Hyuuga family which the guards immediately letting me in after telling me that Hinata-chan currently hosting some guests inside. Not wanting to disturbed her I then take some turn to go to the branch family headquarter to meet up with Neji which I saw practicing his family jutsu.

"Yo, Neji! Busy?" I say to neji who startled hearing my voice which he then glare at me for awhile which I interpreted as he annoyed at me for disturbing him before he giving me a big sigh that morphed in to small smile and say "yes…I am busy…so why you coming here today? You not sneaking out again aren't you?" after some pause after he said the last sentence he then said as he turn his back to me and continue "No…forget it…you must be sneaking out again! What should kind of excuses I should tell toward Minato-sama again today if he know that you sneaking out again!" which prompted me to laughing as he say it with strained and overdramatic tone while throwing his hands to the air for more dramatic air. Neji is a stoic guy but sometimes he can be a fun guy to hang out with which what I like that about him. "Well...you can just tell him that I just go out and hang out with my favorite guy in the world" I say with some skipping while followed him to inside of his room, "and risked to get murdered by your father and ignored by Shikamaru? No thanks… I did rather to tell the truth and letting you get punished by Minato-sama rather then having murdered by Minato-sama and then having Shikamaru ignored me for another month! He already ignored my calls and visits for 2 months already!" replayed Neji as he slammed his head to the chabudai as he said the last sentence, as I pouting with the prospect that Neji rather willing to letting me as a sacrifice for father wrath but I started to get interested when he said that Shikamaru ignored him for 2 months already…curious I then ask "why Shikamaru ignored you? What did you do? He never the type to get angry easily…" "Ugh…I didn't do anything wrong…at least I think so…I mean I just canceled our dinner at the last minutes and it also there wasn't any special anniversary or something" said Neji as he buried his face much deeper into his arms.

As I helping him thinking the reason behind Shikamaru behavior suddenly the sliding door opened and Hinata-chan coming in with a curious expression as she saw that Neji who still buried his face on his arms and me who lays on the floor with a blank look, with a small sigh she then sit down near me and with a smile she say "Why the two of you so gloomy? Even I can feel the gloominess from outside and in fact the other branch members avoiding to be near this room" after few minutes staring at Hinata-chan smiling face, I then said "we are thinking why Shikamaru avoiding Neji these past 2 months and so far we still haven't figured it out yet" with some chuckling Hinata-chan then say "why don't you ask Toushiro-sama then? If I remember correctly Shikamaru-san is her advisor and I did assumes that Shikamaru-san will defiantly tell her if something bugs him not if he did tell her".

After hearing Hinata-chan idea both me and Neji stare at her as in we just in the presence of a goddess, after finalized some plan to asked Nee-sama about Shikamaru (just in case Nee-sama refused to tell us) I then decided to go home before father realized that I just sneaking out of the castle again. After I aid my goodbye to Neji and Hinata-chan…I then journeyed back to the castle while avoiding the guards that patrolled around the village.

Ichigo POV:

Bored is the only way that could describe my mood right now….I always wonder how that Nee-sama can not be bored with these political lessons which always make both I and Naruto bored as hell. As the tutor keep her lectures about something to do with how to deal with merchant lords or discussion or even whatever it is as seeing as I have not paying attention to the lesson at all….my mind started to wonder what Naruto been doing these past few hours at the village seeing as today she didn't have any lessons at all. I bet she didn't know that uncle Minato started to plan to increase her lessons time to making her not giving him anymore heart attacks for always sneaking out of the castle unnoticed.

After few hours of daydreaming…suddenly someone hit me on my head…which I glare at the perpetrator who is Toushiro nee-sama who just rolling her eyes at me who just daydream throughout the class while holding the textbooks who I assumes that she hit me with. As I walked out of the library with Nee-sama I noticed several guards that guards the throne room tensed from what I could feel a massive KI (Killing Intent) from the throne room, as I took a glance at Nee-sama who seems to feeling the KI…we then asked the guards to open the door to the throne room after with some warning that some uninvited guests just enter the throne room few hours ago.

As we entered the throne room both me and Nee-sama started to cursed inside our mind as we saw who the ones that caused the whole massive KI from both father and Uncle Urahara. In front of the throne stand the three devils, the three of the ban of our lives to the point that we always hide from those three…Orochimaru, Madara and Aizen. 'Why oh why….they appeared here again?! Damn it!' as I started string of curses inside of my mind, I then startled by another massive of KI that suddenly appeared on my side…despite knowing who is it that leaked this kind of KI that even on par if not even more darker than Uncle Minato's K, I couldn't resist to take a glance at Nee-sama who currently started to have a twitching smile and one of her eyebrow started to twitched too as the prospect that Madara started to turn around and eyeing Nee-sama with that arrogant and perverted smirk of his and he twitching started turn into one of frosty smile of hers that she only displayed it once during one of the battle that she once led that rumored that on that day and on the very battle field she dubbed as the 'The Dark Ice Dragon maiden of Konohagure" in honor of her prowess and cold blooded massacres during the war, even right now some of enemy territories still afraid and always retreated if Nee-sama ever rumored to appeared on the battle fields.

Toushiro POV:

I officially hate my day as soon as I saw Uchiha Madara on the throne room. 'Why in the thousand bloody hell that he must appear in here?!' Not that I will talk it out loud what I just thinking. With some attitude control I managed to not straggled and killing the uncle of one of my best friends and the best friend who also sworn brother of Naruto while passing by the trio of the ban of mine and my sisters and walk toward the throne.

As I stand near Otou-sama while I see that Ichigo taken her position to be near uncle Urahara as much as possible I then ask in much forced controlled tone "Your majesty…Otou-sama…may I ask why these three appeared here AGAIN?" with some frowning Otou-sama then said with venom in his tone as much as he can muster the said venom "nothing that need your concern my dear….its just both me and his majesty just almost done with some unwanted discussions with some unwanted guests" both me and Ichigo started to frown at what Otou-sama just said and more specifically at the unwanted guests and unwanted discussions part which the two of us instantly know that what these three wanted.

As I keep frowning, Madara then step forward and distanced himself from the two of his friends and lackyes and then say with much infuriated and irritating arrogant tone of his "Now…Now Minato-sama with a due respect…even though I can't deny that we are unwanted guests seeing as that we just come to Konoha without prior notices but this wasn't some unwanted discussions. As that I just wanted to discussed the prospect and advantages of Konoha joined and merged with Huenco Mundo with just some pros and cons to considers and as long the two of you letting us marry the three beautiful princesses we can arrange that you will receives more advantages when the two kingdoms"

After Madara finished his little speech Uncle Urahara the started to stand up and frowning before he say "and with due respect …no matter what you said I will never consist to letting my nieces and daughter to marry the three of you and Konoha will never ever will merged with Huenco mundo now and even the day I step down from the throne or even I the day died! Now please leave…you have exceed your welcome and visit in my kingdom" after hearing what Uncle Urahara said, Madara and the other two started to frowning and then leave with a promise that we will regret to denying them.

As they exited the throne room…both me and Ichigo started to hug him in gratitude who sit back on his throne and after some many thanks from us two sisters, both father and uncle shooed us away and said that they have another work need to finished that they forced to leaved them in order to forced hosting Madara and his lackey. After leaving the throne room both me and Ichigo then released the tension in our body with a heavy and big sigh before continued to walk through corridors and toward our repetitive rooms. As I entered my bedroom, I then plopped onto my soft bed before staring my room celling while thinking what I should do to make sure that Madara and his lackeys never appeared on Konoha again. But even with much thinking…I couldn't help but thinking that my decision to letting the three rulers of Seireitei to court us is the best choice seeing as that I assured that they will honor their agreement and conditions.

Ukitae Juushirou the emperor of seireitei, I wonder what kind of man that he is…there are so little information about him the only information that I only could gather is that he is a double wielder person and a rumor that before the taken the throne he dubbed as the 'The Left of twin demons of Ou-ken" seems like during that time he worked together with the current second in command of Sereitei, Kyoraku Shunsui which have the epitaph 'The Right of the twin demon of Ou-ken' that and also that he had a frail body as he often absence in term of ruling as from a sick absences another rumor said that his illness is incurable. Even so the only one that I could credits of is that the part of he is a double wielder which I confirmed by Minato tou-sama.

Either way I just hope that he can help me warding the ban of my lives that named Uchiha Madara.
