Chapter 4.
The Wei forces took a full week to return to the capital, where the princes gave their report to the queen.
Since they had left Nami, Haku and Naruto had spent a lot of time together, so much that the other girls felt quite jealous.
The morning after returning to Luoyang, Sousou felt pretty bad, but ignoring her headache, she went to the dining room for breakfast with her family and friends.
Upon arrival at the dinning room she saw her future husband, chatting animatedly with Haku, seeing that the blonde princess walked the path that separated her from the boy, and drived by her jealousy, she kissed him in front of everyone present, causing a smile to appear on Sousong's face.
Unfortunately Naruto could not be swayed by the contact, since she was burning up with fever.
"Karin-chan, you're burning up!" Said the blonde, holding the girl in his arms, to take her to her bedroom.
Within seconds, the girl was dressed on her sleeping robes in her bed and had a wet towel on the head, while Naruto was sitting in a chair beside her bed.
"Why would you think on getting up with such a high fever?" Asked him, but in her feverish state, Sousou felt asleep, or so it seemed, in fact she was just pretending to be asleep.
"It's probably my fault, I've been spending so much time with Haku,she must have felt lonely, I'll make it up for her when she recover." Naruto said as he stroked the girl's hair.
Sousou could feel her heart racing and her face turning redder and redder every second just by the mere fact of being with Naruto, fortunately, these symptoms were normal being sick, so Naruto didn't noticed she was awake.
While taking care of her, Naruto was named by the Queen, so he was replaced by Haku in taking care of Sousou, since the others were occupied.
When Naruto left the room, the young kunoichi, began to talk to the supposedly sleeping princess while using her hyoton chakra to refresh the towel that rested in front of Sousou.
"Naruto-kun is a great guy, besides being intelligent and strong, he is affectionate, you don't see many guys like that." Haku said to Sousou, who still pretended to sleep.
"You make me very envious you know? Whenever we train, Naruto won't stop talking about you and the others, I wish that Naruto would see me and talk to me with as much love as he does with you. "Said the kunoichi.
"Onii-chan talks about the girls and me?'Sousou thought happily.
"I heard what happened to him in Konoha, have I known I would have killed the Konoha team, anyone who abuses such a pure soul, deserves the most horrible of deaths." Haku continued, when the bedroom door opened.
Naruto entered the room with a tray and Haku started to get out, when Sousou's faint voice caught her attention.
"Ha .. ku-san -cough- you can call me Karin." Said the princess, causing a bright smile on the girl.
"Hai, Karin-sama, but keep my secret okay?." She said before leaving the room to give the pair of blondes intimacy.
The boy placed his forehead against Sousou's one to check her temperature, causing her to blush."You're fever seems to have dropped a little." Naruto said.
Then a sudden gust of wind caused the girl to tremble with cold, seeing that, the boy took a towel from the things that he had brought in the tray. "Let me clean the sweat from you, then change your clothes and I'll feed you, okay? "Said the blonde.
Too weak to refuse, the girl opened her pajamas and using her hands and sheets to cover her chest, she let her brother clean her back with the towel.
After a few minutes later, the girl had put a new robe and was waiting for Naruto to give her the food he had brought her.
This is why she blushed when she saw him approach the chopsticks to her mouth, in fact, the young man gave her all the food that way.
after taking the last bite of the food, the girl tried to take the mandarin who he had brought her for dessert, but he was faster than her.
"I. .. I can fend for myself you know?" Sousou said shyly as she tried grabbing the fruit, but he interrupted her by capturing her lips on a kiss.
When Naruto broke the kiss, he looked at the girl, whose eyes were lost in the void and her facial expression make it seem that she was seeing the paradise.
"Just for today, let me spoil you a little, okay?" Said Naruto with his foxy smile as he offered a piece of fruit to the girl, causing her to lay down and open her mouth, where Naruto deposited the fruit.

At nightfall, Sousou awakened and felt the fever had entirely, determined to get some fresh after spending all night locked in a room, she stopped at one of the halls to see Haku overlooking the gardens.
"You can't sleep Haku-san?"
"That's right Karin-sama, I keep mulling over something." Replied the kunoichi.
"It's about what you've told me while I was faking being sleep?" Asked the princess.
Seeing the kunoichi nod, Sousou made a decision.
"Naruto-kun don't know this and I would like it to keep it like this at the moment, although he and I are engaged, he'll most likely have a harem, in fact after seeing how he trains, will be the best for my health..." said Sousou with a blush.
"How come he don't know about it?" asked a very puzzled Haku.
"Mother wanted to surprise him with the info on the right time, I think she will tell him on our fourteenth birthday in two years."
"You're telling me that his birthday present will be his own harem? What a birthday! "
"If you want to see it like that...anyway, Can you think of a better birthday present for a teenage boy? "Replied Sousou.
"You're right Karin-sama, do the others know it too?" Asked the kunoichi.
"I'm not sure, I guess... but I want you to know something, the first turn is mine! "said the young princess before heading to her room.

The next morning Naruto and the girls were having breakfast with Sousong, when one of the guards of the castle's gates entered the room.
"Sousong-sama, some messengers from Konoha came!" Said the guard, saluting his boss.
At the name of the hidden village she despised, the queen ordered to lead them to the throne room in 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes the ninja from Konoha were escorted to the throne room, there sat a large throne, was Sousong, at her side were Sousou and Naruto, in his role as Souren and the queen most trusted generals, they all had their weapons with them.
"What brings a group of Konoha ninja to my kingdom?" Asked Sousong.
"My name is Asuma Sarutobi and this is my team, we come here by order of the Hokage, to offer yoy an invitation to attend the chuunin exams." Said the only adult in the group.
The woman thought for a second before deciding, Naruto needed to overcome his hatred for Konoha and that would only be possible after he see that not all the people of the village were the same.
"My children and their own generals will attend the examinations as a practical exercise." Said Sousong.
"What do you mean mother?" Asked Souren.
"You, your sister and your team will be visiting Konoha to see the exams and that's my last word, I recommend that you prepare for a trip to Konoha." Answered the queen.
"Sousong-sama, the examination will take place within 10 days, my student Shikamaru is part of the participants in the final." Said a proud Asuma, putting a hand on the shoulder of the genin.
"Konoha is 8 days from here at civil speed, my team and I offer ourself as volunteers to escort you, for free of course." Asuma said, hoping to get extra information about the supposed prince
Knowing that once the Queen had taken a decision it was impossible to change, Souren and company prepared a spare clean change and weapons, in case it was necessary to defend themselves and after riding on their horses and offer others to the ninjas, they marched towards Konoha.
Haku wore her pink kimono, Naruto his armor and cape, Sousou her usual battle dress, and so did Kakouton, Kakouen and Jun'iku.
"Why are they wearing combat clothes?" asked a nervous Ino to Jun'iku because the others also carried their weapons in sight.
"The risk of encountering bandit is very high, also it's considered a sign of respect to use battle gear in front of regents, however show weapons in front of them is considered a challenge" the girl answered, looking at her master, recording on her eyes the royal air he gave off onthat outfit.
Suddenly a skinny guy with a mustache emerged from the foliage, as he drew a sword, after him a little man with a spear and a massive man with an Axe appeared too.
"If you let the women and valuables you can go away." Said the apparent leader
Asuma was ready to act, when Naruto's voice interrupted.
"Come on Yao! How many times we have to go through this? "Said the boy
" Highness! I didn't saw you there, how are you? "said the bandit, as he and his companions left their weapons on the ground.
"Well, what is that business you promised to start the last time we meet?" Asked the guy stroking his kwan-dao.
The bandit had no words, if he said something wrong he'll become minced meat, but the prince saved him.
"Yao-sigh- this is your last chance, if I hear that you and your band are returning to your old ways..." Naruto said emitting a large amount of killing intent.
"Yes sir!" Said the three bandits before going at full speed, without picking up their weapons.
The blond dismounted and sealed the weapons in a scroll, raising the suspicions of the jonin.
The prince returned to the horse and said nothing more as they continued their journey.
A couple of hours later, Kakouen pointed her bow at the thicket in front of them and fired it, a groan of pain from a beast let them know that the shot had been effective.
It was nightfall, and the travelers descended from the horses and began to set up camp.
"Finally!" Said Ino almost falling asleep.
"I thought ninjas were tough and could take several days sleeping a minimum time" Jun'iku said.
"Real ninjas and kunoichi can do it." Haku confirmed.
"What does that mean?" Ino roared, but the other girls ignored her.

The trip was relatively quiet, no more encounters with bandits and wild beasts until the arrival at Konoha, where Asuma and the team took them to the hotel where the VIPs would stay.
The group had just arrived at the hotel room, when the Jun'iku's stomach sounded and changing into their regular clothes, the group left the hotel.
Just a couple of minutes of walk on the village and the people from Wei were sickened, on all the walls they could see posters with the face of a kid Naruto, hailing him as a hero, after all they had done in the past.
They were about to go back to the hotel, when they saw a girl of the age of the princes, wearing a yellow tracksuit, and despite her long brown bangs covered one of her eyes, they could still see the amount of contempt cast her gaze addressed to the poster.
Annoyed the young man approached her and hiding his anger, spoke to her.
"What's the matter Miss? You know the poster boy? "He asked .
"Hopefully, I fell in love with him, when I saw him in the park as a kid, but the villagers never let me get close to him, people called him monster and now they call him a hero, those hypocritical fools, I hope he's happy wherever he is." Said the girl.
"What's your name?" He asked with a smile.
"Azami, and yours?" Asked the girl.
"I'm the guy who will take you down to lunch and Im called Souren." Naruto answered.
By mere custom, the young man went to the only restaurant that accepted him as a child, Ichiraku Ramen.
As soon as Ayame's eyes fell on the prince, she recognized him, though she wasn't sure if he really was Naruto, so she decided to set a trap.
Naruto noticed that the restaurant was empty except for them.
After the first bowl of ramen, Ayame threw her trap, knowing that if he was really him, there was no way he would avoid the trap ..
"Do you want some more ramen, Naruto-kun?" Ayame asked.
"It would be great Ayame nee-chan..." Realizing he had revealed his identity, the young man covered his mouth with both hands.
"Where have you been all this time? Do you have the remotest idea of how worried you had me? "Cried the waitress.
So a terrified Naruto told about his life in Wei to a stunned Azami and a furious Ayame and Teuchi, at the end of the story, Ayame nodded.
"I'm not going to let you go out of my sight from now on, so I go back to Wei with you." Said the waitress and her father nodded, while fixing the closed sign, who now said closed forever.
Azami whose grandfather, her last living patient had died recently, clutched the arm of Naruto, "Naruto-san, take me with you, I'm alone, I'm not a ninja, but Im a master on taijutsu, I'll be part of your army, I can be useful, I swear. "the girl said with tears in her eyes.
"It sounds good to me, you can come with us Azami-san, collect your things and come to the hotel." Said the blonde.

Finally the day of the final came and the group from Wei, Azami included, were sitting in the balcony of the personalities, relaxing until the start of the fights, when an irritating laughter echoed through the place.
Hearing her, Sousou tensed and Naruto put a poker face, both were intensified after hearing the voice that spoke.
"Ara? Isn't it the flat-chested princess and her brother? "Said a girl a blond girl a little older than Naruto.
"Enshou-san, how are you here?" Naruto asked nervously.
But the answer didn't come from Ensho's voice, but from a calm one, from a young girl of the same age than Enshou.
"We have been invited here by the Hokage, apparently the royal families from Tô and Shoku couldn't come." Said girl with pale pink hair and red tattoo on her forehead.
"Sonsaku-san, it's been years since we last met." Sousou said to the pink haired girl.
"You're right Sousou-san Souren-san, in fact I see that there are some new faces, What's your name girls?" Asked Sonsaku.
Haku and Azami presented themselfs as the prince Souren's new servants, Sonsaku and Enshou presented themselfs as the heirs of the kingdom of Go and In.
"How is that you brought so many people with you?" Asked Enshou.
"Let's say I like to keep a good company." Naruto answered.
Neither princesses believed the answer but they decided to accept it for now and began to chat about their lives, training and studies in their respective realms, occasionally some daimyo joined the chat.
The talks were interrupted by the voice of the Sandaime, which rose above all others, with a speech on the examinations and greeting the celebrity guests.
"Without further ado, let's begin the exams, the first match will be Neji Hyuga vs Kiba Inuzuka." Rang the voice of the Hokage and both genin came from the stairs to the battle stage.
The fight could only be described as animal brutality, the young Hyuuga was thrashing Kiba and Akamaru and everything they tried only served to receive a new blow at the end Neji was declared the winner.
"That was cruel, not that it surprise me from Konoha." Naruto said as his sister nodded.
"Souren-sama is right, I'm glad to get out of here." Azami replied with a smile.
In the stands, Ino and Sakura heard Azami's and recognized her, the girl was a loyal customer of the Yamanaka flower shop, buying flowers to take her deceased relatives.
Strangely, the two girls jumped into the box, there they saw Azami sitting by the bodyguard of the Prince, wearing a dress and armor equal to those of Kakouen and Kakouton, but in yellow.
"Azami? What are you doing there and looking like that? "Sakura asked.
"I am with my new lord and mi dressed as my new sisters, you can call me Kakoyu now." Azami Replied hugging Kakouen and Kakouton.
"Are you going to betray Konoha?" Asked the two genin, pulling out a kunai, but the attack was interrupted by a snowball hitting them in the face.
"Have your nerves cooled, fangirls?" Haku asked placing her hunter ninja mask and summoned a pair of ice senbon.
"You!?" Sakura shouted, before a group of ANBU's immobilize her and Ino.
"For the crime of attacking a noble guest of our village, you are arrested." Said the ANBU leader.
"But she is Zabuza's assistant, she attacked us in our mission in Nami no Kuni." Sakura explained.
"Leave them, it was just a misunderstanding," said the Naruto making the ANBU release the genin."Azami's a civilian, and therefore she can move whenever she please." Said the prince, with a smile that made the two young girls forget Sasuke for a micro-second.
The next match, Gaara vs Sasuke was delayed as the young Uchiha had not arrived on time.
"It seems that the young Uchiha will not be promoted." Sousou explained and in response Sakura started screaming.
"You're right sister I wouldn't want a soldier unable to arrive on time, If i had one I would fire him on the spot, if a soldier is late it could mean the death of their comrades." Naruto answered and the others regents nodded.
The next match, Shino vs Kankuro was canceled because the Suna ninja retired, this and the large number of ANBUs made NAruto's mental alarms to ring, so he triggered some hidden seal on his own arm, causing seals in the arms of the girls to get warm, causing them to be attentive to their surroundings.
Something definitely smelled bad on these tests, and he would not allow it to get them by surprise.
