Once the blond Prince escaped the royal grounds unseen he walked towards the town,

"Man, it is great to get out of there!" Naruto shouted to the world, unknown to the Prince he was followed by his servant.
'I should inform the guards, Prince Sasuke will be here soon' Konohamaru thought to himself as he looked back to the palace.

But hearing what Naruto had just claimed he decided to just follow the Prince.

Making his way into the town Naruto looked towards the industrial district; happy to see that the column of smoke still rising from his lover's home and work Naruto started to jog towards the industrial district.

At the industrial district the streets were bustling, and the sounds of clanking could be heard all around as the young muscular blacksmith hammered away at a block of steel.

'I hope I get this finished soon' the blacksmith thought to himself as he started to forge the steel into the familiar shape of a katana, moments later someone shouts from the front of the shop,

"Kiba! I need some help here!" hearing the call Kiba places the unfinished sword into the fire so it doesn't harden and then wipes his forehead with a rag then makes his way out to the front of the shop.

"What's up?" Kiba said to the customer who called for him,
"I need some help with my armour, I get into a fight and now its all dented and crumpled" the customer explained showing the blacksmith the damage,
"Wow dude, you're lucky you didn't break a rib or two" Kiba joked as he took the chest plate, "I can fix it up but it won't look like new and I've already got a job I'm on right now so it will be done by the end of the week" he continued as he got the forms out from under the counter for the customer to sign.
"That's fine man! Thanks, you are a life saver!" the customer said as he signed the forms, "so what do you think about Prince Naruto meeting Prince Sasuke today? To think he will be our king soon" the customer continued.

Upon hearing this Kiba tensed up,
"It's not fair on Naruto, being forced into something he doesn't want to do" Kiba said with anger in his voice,
"But he must marry and there aren't many suiters for the Prince" the customer said confused why Kiba was getting worked up over the Prince,
"Anyone would be better than the Prince of the Sound Kingdom" Kiba spat back clearly pissed off,

Not wanting to push the blacksmith the customer thanked Kiba and made his leave.

'Naru….' Was all Kiba could think of right then as he made his way back to finish the katana he was forging.

In the market district Naruto was walking through the streets looking at the booths all around and taking in the atmosphere around him, he knew he didn't have long until Prince Sasuke would arrive or that the guards would have figured out he has escaped and search for him in the village.

"Prince Naruto?" a young female voice called out from behind him,
"Lady Sakura, it is a pleasure to meet you again" Naruto said as he turned to the young pink haired noble,
"What are you doing out without an escort?" Sakura asked, wondering why he was roaming around alone.
"Oh this and that" the young Prince said rubbing the back of his head,
"Ohhh Naruto, you must be escorted at all times, your life is precious, and you are the only heir to the kingdom" Sakura lectured the blond, "Also Prince Sasuke will be arriving soon and you need to be back at the palace for his arrival!" she continued,
"You know Sakura I'm not interested in him, and I don't like being stuck locked away or watched all the time" the blond moaned,
"Well make sure your this and that doesn't take too long and you are back at the palace soon as Sasuke will be here shortly and remember you have to also greet all the other nobles for the welcoming ball" Sakura said turning away, "this time I will turn a blind eye but don't let me catch you again or I will have to have my escort, escort you home"
"You have my many thanks Lady Sakura" the young Prince said as he bowed and made his leave walking into the crowd politely greeting all who speak to him.

'You are such a lovely guy, I wish I can find someone as kind as you' Sakura said as she regrouped with her escort.

As Naruto made his way to the training grounds he passes through the industrial district walking passed his lovers work.

Once at the training grounds the young Prince walks towards the largest old oak tree in the far corner of the training grounds.

'Hopefully he will check this soon and we can meet up tomorrow night' Naruto thought to himself as he places the note into a hole at the base of the oak tree.

Happy that the note is concealed enough Naruto makes his way back to the palace; unknown to him Konohamaru had watched everything that has happened, and he made his way to the tree to see what the Prince left behind.

As he got to the base of the tree he was surprised to see a note, curious Konohamaru picked up the note and read it.

My dearest Kib's

There is a chance that we can be together. As long as I play along with my parent's games and at the end of it all I reject Prince Sasuke they will consider anyone else I choose.

I hope the project I have asked isn't causing much trouble, but I know when I present you to my father that Katana will be a good gift and it also shows your dedication to your work.

If you are reading this before the day Sasuke has arrived meet me the next day here at the usual time.

Thinking of you always.

Your loving Prince
xx

Once Konohamaru finished reading the note he put it back not sure on what to do.
'Naruto, you mustn't do something stupid. But I would never had guessed you was in this position' the servant thought as he made his way back to the palace.

Back at the blacksmiths, Kiba started to hear a commotion outside the shop,
'What's going on?' the blacksmith thought to himself as he once again paused his work to investigate.

"I'm sure it was"
"Yeah, it was, only one person would wear orange like that but wasn't he unescorted?"
"I think so, im not sure"
"Ohh it's a shame he is gay, I would do anything to be his princess"
"That Prince Sasuke is so lucky"

Upon hearing the chatter of the villagers Kiba knew Naruto had been passed and the only reason he would have be unescorted was because he snuck out and to be this far from the palace meant he had left a note.

'I wonder what has happened' Kiba said as he walked back into his shop to close up to go the meeting spot.

As Kiba was just about to leave the shop he was stopped by a rather young looking wealthy guy.

"Are you the owner of this shop?" the young man asked Kiba,
"Yes, but im closing for a break right now; if you come back in 10 or 20 mins I can help you" Kiba said clearly impatient.
"I wait here for your arrival" the young made said, upon hearing this Kiba made a dash towards the training grounds.
"Thanks man!" Kiba shouted as he left.

'So, it is you' the young man thought as he watched the blacksmith run into the distance.
