Helloo, this is Qrious with a new chapter of Hyperdimension Vacation!
Now before you guys get reading there is one might-be issue that i want to talk about.
The characters ages, namely Noire's and Naruto's. In case I wasn't specific about it Naruto's age is the same as pre-Shippuden or Naruto I as i like to call it or thirteen years old if you want to get specific.
As for Noire since this is a few years before the game she'll be... fourteen-ish, and she looks eighteen on the game so it's still four years before game canon.
That's it.
Also two characters make their appearance this chapter. One is long thought dead and the other I was unsure whether to make this her intro chapter.
So now, please enjoy and as customary: I'm sorry if the humor is strangle-worthy.
"Sorry, sorry, sorry..."
...
"Geez, what's up with these people, I keep telling them I'm not this 'Rin' and they keep insisting I am."
...
"Naruto-kun!"
"ITAI!~"
"Ah! Sorry!Σ(ﾟロﾟ)"
...
"Eeeehh! Na-chan, you have large bump on your head."
...
"It's the person I'm mistaken for/people keep mistaking me for!"
...
"Now, which of you two is the one that dragged my poor little pet here~?"
...
"That makes sense, Noire-san did mention that she needed out help in finding something."
...
"Poor Noire-chan."
...
"Yaaaaaaay! Sleepover with Naru~"
...
"I feel weird when I'm around Plu-chan."
"Eh?"
...
"Nooo~ We're not sleeping till you tell meeee."
"No."
"Yes."
"No"
"Yes."
"No."
"No."
"No."
"Damn."
"I really don't know what to think about this." C. Naruto said looking away with a red face.
Beside him Noire is looking at the- the thing with a scandalized expression.
Beside them an old nodded his head "See? It's so magnificent that it made you speechless!"
Before we go there though let us first go to the scene after Erza took the picture of Naruto and Plutia in bed together. Please note that this doesn't mean that NaruxPlu is now a thing. (Noire: "Denial is an ugly thing.")
Flashback to earlier that morning
Erza leaned on the door and smiled "How cute..."
*snap*
She looked at her camera and nodded at the picture, a weapons grade teasing material and blackmail material on Naruto, Plutia and Histoire. You can never go wrong with both of those.
Or it would've been hadn't the camera been snatched from her hands. She was about to smack the head of whoever took the camera from her but refrained when she saw the annoyed face of her fellow head maid. Standing in front of her wearing the same uniform is a young bespectacled woman in her late teens with black hair styled in a short bob cut and violet eyes. This is her fellow Head Maid, Sona Sitri.
Now some of you may ask: How the heck does that work? There should only be one head maid!
And you folks are correct but during the selection process the two were so good at their jobs that Histoire couldn't pick on who to choose so the decision then fell to Plutia as to who would get the Head Maid position. And obviously she picked the both of them since, in her words 'Twosomes are nice.' Not having much choice she decided to split the responsibilities/duties of the two Head Maids.
Erza would oversee the Basilicom, its grounds and those living within it while Sona sees to the CPU/Goddess Plutia, Histoire, Naruto or anyone of importance within the Basilicom.
"What is this Scarlet-san?"
"A camera."
"And why do you have a camera?"
"I was taking a picture of the two."
"Any reason why you did so?"
Erza grabbed Sona's head and turned it towards Naruto and Plutia "Do you really have to ask Sitri-san? This scene is so cute that not archiving it is a crime."
...
...
...
...
Erza started sweating when Sona didn't even make sound at what she said. EVEN IF IT'S TRUE! Look at the two of them-
With the two
Naruto put an arm around Plutia.
"Mmm, so warm... zzzz."
Plutia snuggled deeper into Naruto.
"Whips.."
Back to Erza and Sona
Sona sweatdropped at Plutia "Well... it is, um, endearing?"
Erza nodded slowly "Y-Yeah, could've been better without the 'whips' part."
Naruto and Plutia woke up moments after and Erza was on the ready for what was sure to be a very cute moment and the two didn't disappoint. Naruto was the first to wake up, he yawned and rubbed his eyes trying to get rid of his drowsiness and the first thing he sees is a mop of purple hair that he was sure is Plutia's. The effects of C. Naruto's meddling last night still present his face turned as red as a tomato as he is now aware of the position they are in. He would have tried to get up from the bed if it wasn't for Plutia's arms keeping him pinned and everytime he so much as squirmed Plutia's hold on him would tighten even more.
After a few more minutes of struggling and picture taking Plutia woke up from her slumber and the first thing that greeted her eyes is the red face of Naruto which got even more redder. Erza and Sona were not in the room anymore since Erza had gotten what she wanted and Sona taking mercy on the poor blond and escorted Erza out of the room.
"Mmmm, Na-chan?" Plutia rubbed her eyes, an act C. Naruto had to take temporary control of his body so that his other won't glomp the girl to death.
"G-Good morning, Plu-chan." Naruto stuttered out.
...
...
...
"U-Umm, Plu-chan?"
"Yeees...?"
"Can you let me go now?"
"Hmmm, no can do... too comfy..." and she went back to sleep.
It would be fifty minutes later that Naruto would get free of Plutia's grip when Rin, followed by Noire, decided to see why the two still hasn't come down yet even after Erza had went to do so earlier. Rin facepalmed when she got to Plutia's room and saw the reason why and guessed Erza just went to get some teasing material while wondering where Sona was. Not to say she wouldn't have also done that because she also teased Naruto when she saw the two but got unintentionally teased back by Naruto.
How the hell can he say such heartwarming/ butterflies-in-stomach inducing things so casually! Atleast she was better off than Noire who fainted
It took a lot of effort for both girls to pry Plutia off Naruto and almost got Plutia to turn into Iris Heart if it wasn't for Rin boldly threatening Plutia that she won't get to go with Naruto when he makes another trip out of Planeptune for training, it surprisingly worked.
While all of that was happening C. Naruto was thinking over stuff that happened yesterday, specifically when his other had made a sort-of-confession to Plutia. His other was supposed to say that he was planning a surprise for Plutia so how did it go from that to what his other said. Honestly, he has no idea because the two are so far apart that trying to make a connection as to how his other jumped towards that. If C. Naruto turned around he would've seen the red orb on the center table grow bright for moment before going back to normal.
Breakfast went quickly for the group of four and each went to do their own thing while Naruto showed Noire around Planeptune. Their first stop is The Red Cellar, which is the name of the bar Evangeline is running.
"Hello."
Chachamaru looked up from her work and smiled at the blond boy "Good morning, Naruto-san. It's been a while since you last stopped by."
Naruto laughed sheepishly while rubbing the back of his head "Gomen, Cha-chan, I've been busy with training and I haven't been able to find the time to visit, gomen."
Chachamaru waved of the apologies with her ever present smile "It's all right Naruto-san." She then remembered something and with Rin nowhere in sight then she just might get some plus points from Evangeline "Naruto-san, have you given any thought about Master's offer."
'Master?' Naruto thought, this was the first time she ever referred to Evangeline as 'master'. Mentally filing it away for a later question he answered "Well I have but Rin-chan and Histy-chan didn't want me to do it for some reason."
Chachamaru closed her eyes in thought, it really wasn't a surprise that that would be his answer if Rin's answer everytime the offer is mentioned is any indication, she wonders if they, specifically Histoire, knows about who Evangeline really is since that would explain why they are so against Naruto accepting. Personally she doesn't know why they are so not accepting of this whole thing, Naruto gets training and Evangeline has someone to spend time with other than her and Kurama. Win-win situation right there... alright slight win-win situation since Naruto may or may not get corrupted in a certain way.
As the two were having their conversation we now go to the forgotten Noire who is tapping her foot in rising irritation and has half a mind to murder something blond and green. The nerve of those two, especially Naruto! He was supposed to be showing her around not having a long conversation with someone else. If this were a date she'd be slapping the hell out of him right now and giving him the silent treatment while he gets on his knees begging for forgiveness and and telling her how he only has eyes for her. Noire blinked 'Where did that come from?'
"Oh, how rude of me, I didn't see you there."
Glad that she was finally noticed Noired waved off- "I didn't know Rin-san had a twin."
"I'm not Rin's twin." Noire slumped in depression, atleast this time she is mistaken as Rin's non-existent twin instead of being Rin.
That surprised Chachamaru, and also Naruto since the only expression he's seen on Chachamaru is stoic and small smiles "Ah, sorry, you two look almost similar so I thought you were her twin."
Noire waved off the apology "It's fine, you're not the first person to mistake me for being related to or mistaken for Rin-san."
"Umm, I won't mistake you for Rin-chan." Naruto declared with his hands raised.
"Ohh, and how do you plan on doing that?" Noire asked Naruto, she figured that out of everyone Naruto might be the person that would often get her and Rin mixed up but she decided to humor him. She blinked when she found a finger pointed at her eye.
"Noire-chan has pretty red eyes while Rin-chan has blue."
"W-W-W-What are you saying you idiot!" shouted a red faced Noire while flailing her arms.
She quickly recovered and looked away with a huff "You shouldn't say such stuff casually, people might get the wrong the idea." she finished with a nod. It did however skip her mind that the person she's talking to is a twelve year old child with a seventeen year old teen in his mind and not a hormonal teenager who would swoon and shout 'KAWAI!~', so...
"Uwaaah, N-Noire-chan's mad..." Naruto sniffed out while hiding behind Chachamaru who is patting his head.
"There, there..."
"H-Hey what are you crying about now!?" and her shouting just made things worse. Naruto by now has relocated from beside Chachamaru to the nearest most intimidating person within grabbing distance... Evangeline.
"Oh, what a surprise to see you here again fishcake, finally come to be my apprentice?"
"No, I don't know, maybe, Noire-chan scary, help?"
Evangeline looked at the Rin lookalike "I'm not a lookalike!" then back at Naruto. She gained a devious smile 'This girl just gave me what I wanted.' Well not what she wanted per se but Naruto is the third thing on her 'Want to have/ Nothing to do list'... okay second, second on the list.
"Hmm, I'm all for helping but."
Naruto looked at her with teary eyes asking the silent question of 'what'? Noire would've said something if it wasn't for Kurama's suspiciously timely arrival who is keeping the black haired girl occupied.
"Well, if you agree to be my apprentice then maybe I'll consider lending a hand."
"Hai!" And it was that moment C. Naruto chose to wake up and heard his other saying okay to something.
'The heck did he agree to?' C. Naruto thought it was only when he saw Eva's victorious smile that he realized what his other agreed to.
'FUUUCCCKKK!' for some reason C. Naruto felt like he'll be making his body go into overdrive in producing blood in the coming days.
"Then if you'll just-"
"Oh wait, I was supposed to be showing Noire-chan around. Um, can we do whatever it is we were supposed to do later?"
Evangeline shrugged "Whatever, just don't tell the chibi fairy or that maid of yours."
Naruto nodded and pulled a surprised Noire out of the building.
"Well, what did I tell you Chachamaru, I always get what I want in the end."
Chachamaru gave her master a nod, then had a thought "Why DID you want Naruto-san as an apprentice?"
Kurama piped in "What she said."
"Tsk, I'd expect cow bags over their to be clueless but you Chachamaru?"
Chachamaru closed her eyes and tried to think of what Evangeline was talking about, it took a few seconds but she remembers what Evangeline is talking about "You mean that problem where you are unable to leave Planeptune or rather the immediate area Planeptune is built upon?"
Evangeline nodded "Yes."
Back with Naruto and Noire the two return to Noire's touring of Planeptune. When Naruto said that he'll give her a complete tour of Planeptune he mean a COMPLETE tour. They went to every restaurant, every shop, ice cream parlor, arcade, clothing store, every establishment within Planeptune was visited and eaten at which resulted in two full and tired individuals.
"I can't take another bite." Naruto groaned while holding his stomach.
"I can't believe that you talked me into a eating marathon." Noire groaned, dreading the weight she'll gain from this.
Naruto slowly stood up and stretched his arms "Well that's every place in Planeptune we visited, it was a bit tiring but I had a lot fun. We should do this again sometime."
Noire stood up "Well I don;t know, I have a lot of things that I need to do..."
Naruto deflated "Oh."
"B-But if you really want to then I guess I could spare some time." Noire lowly muttered looking away from the now smiling Naruto.
"Yes, going out with Noire-chan is fun!"
Noire's cheeks turned pink as she stammered out a response but nothing came out.
As for C. Naruto "If she wanted to spend time with him she should just say so."
As they were walking back towards the Basilicom Noire noticed a shop they haven't been to yet. The shop itself has a design similar to those found on buildings up north, the building itself looks well kept and the sign is a basic wooden sign with the words 'Ol' Man Danzo's' and 'Heil Konoha!' written under it plastered on the sign.
She patted Naruto shoulder and pointed at the shop "Naruto, what about that shop over there?"
Naruto scrunched up his face in thought, he tilted his head a few times as if to get a better look at the shop while Noire had to hold herself back from glomping Naruto since he looked almost like a fox kit "I don't think I've seen that shop before, wanna go take a look inside?"
He received a "Sure." from Noire and the two of them made their way towards the shop. As they opened the door they were greeted by the soft chimes of a fūrin. The store was fairly large with atleast dozen of shelves and tables filled with merchandise. They went to one of the tables where a diorama of a large village surrounded by a large circular wall and behind it is a mountain with five faces.
Noire was impressed by the design and detail of the village. Whoever built this must've put hours upon hours of work into it since it looks so real. The roof tiles, the river that ran through the right side of the village, even the people were so masterfully made.
Naruto is having the same thoughts but it also looks familiar for some reason. C. Naruto meanwhile is on guard ever since he saw that name on the sign, Danzo. He didn't know much of the man other than the power grab he made when Tsunade was in a coma and his hand in the Uchiha Massacre. And that he's supposed to be dead. He can't let his guard since Danzo was said to be a cold tactician and that would stoop so low to Orochiamru's-
"WELCOME!~"
Huh?
From behind one of the shelves an old man wearing a green and red haori over a yellow kosode who had his head wrapped up in bandages popped out armed with a big old smile that would make every old person out there proud, is Danzo Shimura, owner of Ol' Man Danzo's.
C. Naruto looked at Danzo in deadpan. Wasn't he supposed to be all "FOR THE GLORY OF KONOHA!" instead of-of, of this!
"Oh customers, please wait for a moment." Danzo went to whatever it was he was doing while Naruto and Noire continued perusing through the store. There wasn't much that they saw worth buying except for a kimono that caught Noire's eye and a selection of weapons that look too real instead of toys.
The sounds of footsteps let them knows that Danzo was done doing whatever and Naruto asked about the weapons "Oh, those are one hundred percent real customer-san. Chakra conductive too!"
They both tilted their head at the term "Chakra conductive?"
Danzo sighed "Well to start things off, Chakra is blahblahblahblahblah..."
While the two is listening to the lecture C. Naruto is reminiscing about his own chakra blade and wondering where the heck did it go.
One long lecture later and the duo went back to perusing the merchandise at the store with Danzo doing commentary. They then got to the figurine section, there were numerous figurines of different people one particular figurine caught Noire's eyes "Hey Naruto, look at this."
Naruto looked at the figurine in Noire's hand and it looked eerily like him... if he had long hair and is a girl, although this one look a bit more outgoing and active than he is if the grin and pose were any indication. "That kind of looks like..." C. Naruto sighed in nostalgia at the pranks he used to do using his Naruko counterpart, good times.
Noire nodded "Yeah."
Danzo piped in "Oh, did I mention the special feature that some of the figurines have?"
They both shook their head "Well for that figurine tap the hand."
Naruto did the honors of tapping the hand as instructed and its clothes disappeared... wait what?
Gone were the bright orange clothes and all that's left is a naked figurine of a she-Naruto.
And now were back to the present.
Noire grabbed the front of Danzo's haori and shook the naked figurine in front of his face "The hell is this old man!"
Danzo huffed "Well maybe you're just jealous you don't have a figurine like that."
"Why would I be jealous of something so perverted?"
"The heck should I know!"
As the two were having their argument C. Naruto was doing the most difficult job in the world. Trying to censor the naked figurine from his other. On a different place and time he'd just let things go on and stare at the naked figurine like a normal hormonal teenager. But the viewing the naked figurine in this instance is his innocent, who he is wondering really is innocent, other. For the most part he is successful in the censorin but it also made his other say something... endearing or romantic, depending on who you asked, to their twin tailed friend.
"Noire-chan doesn't need a figurine."
The arguing duo stop and look at him.
"And what do you mean by that?/ How do you say so?" are the replies of Noire and Danzo respectively.
"Because..." both lean in anticipation of the answer "She's already beautiful even without losing her clothes." okay C. Naruto made Naruto say something slightly perverted instead.
Noire out of sheer embarrassment dropped Danzo head first as she swung her fists at Naruto trying to hit him for his slightly perverted comment. But it did feel nice to hear him say she was pretty... whatever it was still perverted.
Danzo is just looking at Naruto then back Noire while nodding.
After calming Noire down, and buying a weapon to replace Naruto's wooden sword, they said goodbye to the old man and made their way back to the Basilicom.
"I don't want to go back their ever."
Naruto chuckled "Well, he was a bit... eccentric, I guess?"
Noire scoffed "Eccentric? More like a big pervert, I mean who tries to sell figurines that can shed off their clothes to kids?"
Naruto could only once again chuckle at his friend. Hearing this Noire poke Naruto's chest multiple times with a frown "What's so funny? Well, if I see that you have one of those crummy figurines-"
"What if it's a figurine of Noire-chan?"
"Eh?"
"I said what if it's a figurine of Noire-chan?"
In the span of a second Noire's face turned atomic red as steam poured out of her ears "N-N-NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT!" What the heck is Naruto saying!? It's one thing to have a figurine, naked or no, of some stranger that looks like him but to have one of her!? That's embarrassing on so many levels!
"Not even one." unknowingly Naruto unleashed his own version of the Puppy Eye Jutsu on Noire, the Foxy Plushy Jutsu.
Guh.
"W-Well, I guess I can allow you to have one... Just one though, got it!"
"Really?"
"Really."
"Really, really."
"Yes."
"Really-"
"YES, YES I'LL EVEN PERSONALLY GIVE YOU ONE!"
"Promise?"
"... Yes." Noire groaned at and she found Naruto's hand in front of her face with the pinky pointing at her.
"Swear."
Groaning again Noire linked her pinky with Naruto's "I swear."
Naruto gave Noire a smile as said girl looked away and walked off with a cherry red face when she just realized what Naruto made her promise to with Naruto following after her leaving the a crowd cooing at how cute they were acting.
Three weeks later
Inside a cave system in the mountains east of Planeptune the sounds of shouting could be heard. Being chased is none other than Naruto and the recently found Chachazero. They are being chased by a couple of guards that are dressed similarly to those of Planeptune guards, only difference is the color and on the sleeve where the symbol of Planeptune should be is replaced by a blue hexagram with a circle on each end with an L on the middle.
Now one may ask how they got into this situation in the first place. Similar to when Naruto met Noire, everyone that was supposed to come with him wasn't able to due to reasons that conveniently demanded their presence so he was forced to go out of Planeptune for training on his own. Again one may ask why isn't he training with Evangeline if he accepted her apprenticeship when he visited her last? Well one can thank Plutia for that, her curiosity of what the apprenticeship entails had led her to coming with Naruto to The Red Cellar and forcing Evangeline to halt her plans and change it to teaching the boy something mundane like bartending for a while, atleast until Plutia gets bored. Although, he was able to find and save Chachazero from being harrased by cats, though she was very angry at him for some reason.
Back to why he's being chased.
And so Naruto, with an angry kill happy doll on his head, trained outside of Planeptune. His goal for today's training is to get strong enough to fight a Captain Froggy all by himself. He then set off to find as many enemies as he could and defeated them all, in fact, he was so determined that he unknowingly passed the mountain range east of Planeptune and later found the entrance to the cave system. It wasn't until Chachazero cutting his cheek, which ended with her getting thrown on the ground, that he snapped out of his training daze and made him realize that was nowhere near Planeptune. A couple of minutes of wandering around and the two heard someone shout and thus we end up with the two of them getting chased within the cave.
"C'mon run faster ya slow poke!"
"I'm running as fast as I can Zero-chan!" shouted Naruto.
"Hey! Stop right there!"
"WHAT DID I DO!?"
After a few more minutes of running and cursing from Chachazero they made their way through a straight tunnel, there are no more guards running after them but that didn't mean they kept their guard down. Then they saw the end of the tunnel and ran towards it. Once they got out Naruto had to shield his eyes from the sunlight after being in a dark cave for who knows how long. Once adjusted to the sunlight is treated to the sight of trees with red colored leaves, Naruto is awed by the sight while C. Naruto is reminded of autumn in the Elemental Nations.
"Cool."
Chachazero nodded "It looks like a sea of blood."
They kept walking through the forest they found themselves until they found a dirt road. They followed the dirt road for a good half hour until they see a city. The design of the buildings were similar to that of Danzo's shop, another thing to note is the size of the city.
"Woah, it's almost as big as Planeptune!"
As Naruto is taking in the site Chachazero and C. Naruto were having their own thoughts on this place.
Chachazero is wondering why she can still move much less talk once they passed Planeptune's 'border'. Leaving the 'border' would normally cause her to clam up and freeze until she gets back to Planeptune. She looks at Naruto and thought if he's the reason why.
C. Naruto is wondering if this is the place Jiraiya where Jiraiya made landfall when he arrived in Gamindustri. After all Jiraiya's words when he was debriefed were 'rampaging transforming loli' which would mean that there was already a CPU before Plutia and the word 'rampaging' didn't give him much confidence that whoever this CPU Jiraiya met is friendly.
"Achoo!*sniff* Someone must be talking about me." said a young girl sitting in an oriental style room.
The sliding doors of her room open making the girl look up from her table and the Head Guard came running in "Blanc-sama! Big trouble! INTRUDERS!"
Yes, this person is none other then Blanc, THE Blanc that Jiraiya met and THE Blanc who is the CPU of the nation of Lowee. Blanc is a young girl, with a rather petite figure, dark blue eyes and light brown hair. Her hair is short, going down to her chin and her fringe is kept parted to the left. Blanc is wearing a shrine maiden-like outfit, the shirt is dark brown with white sleeves that have red lining. Attached to the sleeves are hanafuda cards. In the lower part of her shirt is a blue orb surrounded with red strings that form a cross pattern. The strings also carry two bells. Her red skirt is decorated with stars that look like leaves. She wears a red and white hat, a flower necklace, a black and white bead bracelet, white socks that run up to her thighs, and slippers decorated with a red ribbon and flower.
"I see." Blanc said in monotone and she returned her attention back to humanity's greatest undeafeted foe, paperwork.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Umm..."
Blanc looked at the Head Guard making him jump in his place "Yes?"
"The intruders?"
"What about them?"
"Um, well... they're inside Lowee!"
Blanc raised a brow "Can't the guards handle them?"
The Head Guard scratched his head in embarrassment "Well we've been unable to chase him and..."
Blanc nodded her taking in the information that there is only one intruder and said intruder is male but the way the Head Guard paused actually concerned her. Was this person a very real and legitimate threat or... was it that same *shudder* person that she chased out sixteen years ago. Just thinking off that-that molester made her blood boil.
The Head Guard is sweating so hard when a very familiar dark aura enveloped Blanc, everyone knows what happens everytime this happens so the Head Guard is panickingly trying to remember what he said that set her off and apologize. His body turned as white as a sheet when Blanc transformed into her HDD form.
Gone is the silent and angry brown haired girl and in her place is an angry and violent girl with a petite and slim figure. Her eyes are a crimson red, and her skin is very fair. Her hair is a sky-blue color, it is kept mostly free, and is of short length, barring her bangs, which reach down to her stomach. Her attire consists of a tight battle-suit, which is white and has minor touches of red lining. The top itself appears as a swimsuit-like armor. The sleeves of this are detached, and reach all the way to her shoulder and mechanical like devices connecting the joint of the sleeve.
"Hey..."
"Y-Yes, White Heart-sama?"
"Where did you say the little sneak was?" White Heart asked with a manic smile.
"W-We managed to track them all the way to e-entrance of t-the city but lost track of them."
White Heart lost her smile and the room temperature dropped drastically "You have no idea."
The Head Guard knew she wasn't asking so all he could do was nod.
"THEN WHAT THE #$ ! ARE YOU STILL HERE FOR!" White Heart screamed out with her weapon aimed at the Head Guard.
"HYAAA!" the Head Guard ran out of the room leaving White Heart alone. She took a few breaths to calm herself down a bit and looked out of the window which had a view of Lowee.
"I hope you're out there pervert-san, how else could I make you pay for the humiliation you gave me." White Heart said with a smirk that promised pain, lots and LOTS of pain.
Meanwhile within Naruto, C. Naruto felt like he'll be once again pulled into problem/misunderstanding made by his late perverted sensei.
Meanwhile in the Elemental Nations
Now that that's over we go back to everyone's favorite continent. We will be unable to visit Iwa this time due to their latest operation, Operation:Sun Dance, failing spectacularly than Operation: Rain Dance and ended up throwing the village in a state of emergency. Kurotsuchi is stuck dealing with the situation as Ooniki 'mysteriously' disappeared after the operation.
So now we go to one of the most exotic places in the Elemental Nations, Kaze no Kuni and it's Hidden Village Sunagakure no Sato. The land of wind is filled with many wondrous things such as the desert and sand... and the cacti and the... sand.
...
...
We now go to the main administration building of Suna, The Kazekage tower. Specifically the hallway on the way to the council meeting room. We now follow Kankuro, elder sibling of the Fifth Kazekage, Sabaku no Gaara or just Gaara. Truth be told he's actually pretty late for today's meeting but he doesn't care all that much. Aside from a few domestic issues not much happens during the meetings since the entire continent was all friendly with one another and Gaara doesn't really do anything everytime he's late, he just tells him to show up on time.
As he arrived at the council room doors his hand froze as he was about to touch the knob. Cold sweat poured down the side of his head 'W-What is this-this feeling? I haven't felt this since...' this chill in the back of his spine is similar to those he has during a much darker time in his life. With a gulp he slowly opened the door, the creaking of the door is like a burial song to his ears. As if for every inch the door opens he is slowly being lowered to his grave.
A fourth of the way opened he can see the other councilors sitting still on seats like a statue.
Half of the way opened he can see Gaara, he can't see his face though as it is covered behind his steepled hands.
Fully opened he can see Temari sitting without a care in the world.
Everyone is silent, no one even bothered to look his way to acknowledge his arrival.
*BAM!* The door slammed shut spooking Kankuro he looked back towards the room and wondered what was up with everybody and was about to ask when Gaara suddenly spoke up "Kankuro... you're late." his voice reverberated throughout the room.
Kankuro shifted in his place "A-Ahahaha...ha, sorry Gaara. I was busy yo-"
"Busy doing what?"
"U-Um." Kankuro scratched his head and found the ceiling interesting.
"Kankuro." Kankuro looked towards Gaara and found that to be a bad idea, he started having insta-flashback of when Gaara was like his personal boogeyman.
"Y-Y-Yes?"
"Don't be late next time" his eyes turned cold and that all too familiar killer smile that he thought he would never see again popped up on Garra's face "Or I'll kill you."
"HYAAAA!" Kankuro ran out of the room breaking the down the poor door in the process.
*Blink**Blink* Gaara looked at the snicker Temari and asked "Was that too much?"
"N-grk- No Gaara, it was just fine."
Gaara nodded in thanks "I see. Pranking people is hard."
AAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNDDDD DONE!
That was a bit of a doozy to write. I admit, writing the NaruxNoire interaction was a bit tough but it wasn't what took me the most time to work on. That award goes to Blanc's intro this chapter. I was unsure whether or not to put her in because i thought it was too early to introduce her and that internal debate took THREE DAYS! Ugh, my poor head. I do hope I wrote Blanc just fine though it's sort of easy for me to write stoic and monotone but stoic, monotone and angry? I might have some trouble.
Also in regards to my brushing up for preparing to write Neptune... it sort of failed. And that means when the time comes she makes her appearance her character will be tad bit toned down but I will as much as possible try and retain her... peppiness?
Next Chapter will feature the interaction and possible fight between the hotheaded goddess, White Heart and the ever 'innocent' Naruto, the talking voice in his head, C. Naruto and his stab happy partner, Chachazero.
If you have questions, you know what to do.
As always please leave a fave, follow and/or review. This is Qrious, signing out.
