Okay guys, this chapter's gonna be pretty short. Just wanted to get this up for you, especially after Valentine's nagging
REMEMBER, I don't own Naruto, if I did I would hardly be here creating fanfiction.
AND... MY HIME FINALLY GETS NAMED!
Leaving the apartment, she stepped cautiously along numerous narrow back-alleys before emerging onto the main streets, now less busy in the later hours of the day.
She wandered along with a still-sleeping Naruto in her arms, both of them cloaked, hoods drawn up to cover and shade their faces, she was too tired to sustain a high level henge for the both of them, but did not wish to leave Naruto as his usual appearance, for she worried what would happen to him, especially if he was somehow separated from her, no, it was safest with mere cloaks for now.
Glancing around the streets curiously she saw little had changed and was glad the village had prospered, yet this did nothing to enrage her barely controlled anger when she though of what her brother had been forced to go through.
She found herself walking along a vaguely familiar path, which soon led to the site where she had rescued Naruto from, if in a rather bloody and violent manner. There was a crowd gathered, kept back from the mouth of the alleyway by a mixture of chuunin and jounin, a few looking a bit green, even in the darkening light.
Stiffening slightly she mentally berated herself for not being more aware when she felt the arrival of a number of ANBU shinobi, so much for a little sightseeing.
Swiftly she arrived in a swirl of silver leaves, that dissipated before they touched the floor, atop the Hokage faces, the Yondaime's to be specific.
Gently she shook Naruto awake knowing there was little time, the ANBU would be arriving soon.
"Naruto," she whispered into his ear, "take a last look, until we return I wish for you to treasure this view, and remember this;
It is with the fire of the heart that the world lives on, protect that at all costs"
Naruto gazed at her, his confusion clearly seen on his face, but to his expression she merely smiled gently before telling him,
"One day you'll understand, but for now just hold on tight."
There was a sudden 'whoosh' of displaced air that heralded the arrival of two ANBU squadrons who quickly surrounded the cloaked figure, one with a cat mask, two blue stripes across each cheek called out to the two.
"You are called before the Hokage and Council, if needed, you shall be brought there by force …"
The speaker broke off from his speech when the figure he was adressing began laughing, their hood falling back off their head, revealing the girl's features to all and, as the wind tossed her scarlet hair behind her, almost banner-like she smiled before saying
"Sorry guys, but not today" and she leapt backward off the monument, leaving both groups gaping in astonishment, frozen for a second before they gathered their wits and gave chase.
By this point Naruto had fainted from the shock of them jumping into nothing, presumably to their deaths. As such he missed his sister activating her bloodline gold eyes fading into a silvery-grey and missed her content smile, she could see the winds.
Flipping in the air until she faced the rest of the village she used the winds to guide her descent util she landed gracefully on a nearby roof, a small crater forming under her feet from the sheer force of the air pressure being used to cushion her sudden fall and descent. Not stopping she began running across the rooftops, the shinobi's highway, faster and faster, then even faster again as she removed the gravity seals from her legs and, holding Naruto tightly in her arms she became a scarlet blur. Dodging various weapons, bodily attacks and jutsu she neared the gate and spotted Iruka.
Leaping swiftly to land gracefully before him she swiftly took the scroll of supplies from his hand, placing a different one in its place then a swift kiss on his cheek before whispering in his ear
"Till the genin exam, neh?" and she was gone, the ANBU not even having time to catch up. Iruka sighed ,the princess was gone again.
In his office Sarutobi rubbed his head as he but away his crystal ball and sighed, whilst wishing he could speak to the red-haired girl.
'Forgive me Kira, Lost Princess of the Fire Nation'.
Okay, that'll do for now, review it and check out my poll if you haven't already done so, and if you have then thanks! And I love all the reviews I've been getting for this fic, they make my day, along with my QOH.
And if people were wondering about the relationship between the princess and Iruka, he is like a big brother/father-figure to her, and she is affectionate... you will find out more in later chapters
Oh, and a sneak at the next chapter… just for you faithful few
-Four years later-
The genin exams had come around and Iruka was stood looking out of his classroom window. ……
