Chapter 23 An Icy Reunion
I don't own Naruto. Anything I use from the story is the property of its creator Mr. Kishimoto
(Mindscape)
"I'm disappointed in you kit" Kurama chided as he sat in the field that now made up his personal prison. Ever since Naruto and Kurama became friends one of the first thing's Naruto did was alter his mind space to give the fox more breathing room. Instead of the cold prison cell that he was stuck in, Naruto gave him a large field complete with various flowers and some mountains nearby.
'Spare me Kurama. Yeah I could've slept with her and some would argue I should have. The problem is now is not the time." Naruto groaned. He knew that he could've easily slept with Koyuki if he wanted to but he felt like now wasn't the time.
"I actually applaud the young man for doing so. It takes a lot of moral fiber to turn somebody down the way he did" a new voice said. Naruto and Kurama turned to find a young man who was a few inches taller than Naruto with short blue hair had arrived. He was wearing a blue t shirt with black shorts and blue ninja sandals on.
"Timaeus what the hell are you doing here?" Kurama groaned. It wasn't the first time that Timaeus had spoken to the fox but it was one of the few times that Naruto was there.
"I've come because one of my sister's has a message for Naruto regarding her master." Timaeus explained calmly.
Naruto growled since he had a fairly good idea which one of the girls wanted to speak with him. "Ino and I have already spoken about the issue with her telling the others about my jutsu." Naruto said sternly. Naruto was furious that Ino taught the girls how to do his jutsu without consulting him first.
"I see." Timaeus said solemnly.
"He doesn't have time anyway, my partner has a more interesting female problem to deal with right now" Kurama snickered.
Naruto was surprised by that but especially since he was fairly certain that it wasn't about Koyuki. "What do you mean Kurama?" Naruto wondered. Almost afraid of the answer.
"Open your eyes and find out" Kurama smirked again.
"Okay then" Naruto said calmly before opening his eyes.
(Cabin)
When Naruto opened his eyes he couldn't believe what he was seeing. Koyuki was wide awake and was staring at his morning wood in a blue nightgown but that wasn't the most interesting part, that would be Sakura of all people. His pink haired teammate was in a red wine bra and panty set and was very interested in what he was showing off and he had a feeling if he woke up a little later she would be playing with it.
"What are you two doing here?" Naruto groaned as he slowly got up.
"Well Kakashi sensei wanted somebody to wake you up and I volunteered for the job. Koyuki here was already there when I arrived and we were just about to have some fun when you woke up" Sakura said with a smile.
'This is what Kurama was talking about' Naruto groaned. It was common knowledge among team 7 that Sakura and Sasuke were only in a relationship because of Naruto's blessings and that the Uchiha wasn't against the two sleeping with each other once in a while. It was his way of thanking Naruto for showing him the world of sex in the first place. The problem was now was definitely not the time for a tryst. "Well since Kakashi sensei wants me let's get going." Naruto groaned getting up and going to grab his clothes.
"I'm surprised you'd turn down two beautiful women eager to have sex with you." Sakura chided.
"Sakura there's a very good chance that enemy ninja will strike before too long. Now is not the time for sex." Naruto deadpanned.
"Fine" Sakura pouted since Naruto did have an annoyingly good point.
(Scene Skip)
After all three parties got dressed Naruto and Sakura made his way to the outside of the boat where Kakashi sensei was waiting. Koyuki chose to stay back for the moment since it would lead to a ton of undesirable questions. When he arrived to his teacher's location he saw the rest of his group and the directors were all looking at a gigantic iceberg. "I'm guessing you guys saw this in the distance and wanted to figure out what we should do." Naruto deadpanned. He could sense the people behind the iceberg waiting to attack and tried to hold back his annoyance.
Kakashi smiled before turning to the directors and saying, "Hey guys you might wanna get back inside. Things are about to get interesting."
"What do you mean by that Kakashi" Sandayu wondered. The ninja all groaned since that was as good a sign as any that a battle was about to begin.
"Welcome everybody to the Land of Snow." a new voice appeared from the ice causing everybody to tense up. All of the sudden a man with teal eyes purple hair that was tied up in a ponytail and a mask that framed his face in an odd style.
"You" Kakashi growled as he recognized the man in front of him. He was one of his opponents during the original mission and that meant trouble.
"I don't see Princess Koyuki anywhere. What a shame" a woman with green eyes and pink hair that seemed to stick out of a helmet that framed her face along with a mask. Naruto couldn't help but notice that her breasts were in full view thanks to not wearing a bra and he was a happy boy.
"Well that doesn't matter too much" a final man said with purple hair that seemed to pop from the top of his head. He was a burly man with black eyes. All 3 were wearing a blue and white outfit and Naruto was certain that the chakra armor that Kakashi mentioned was hidden underneath.
Kakashi wasn't pleased too much to see the first man and showed it, "it's been some time Nadare?" Kakashi growled.
"I'm guessing these guys are Doto's henchmen" Sasuke growled.
"That's right and they're no slouches. I've got Nadare?" Kakashi growled making sure his students understood what was happening.
"I guess the big guy is for me and Sakura huh" Sasuke smirked as he looked towards his teammate.
"Yeah yeah I'll take pinkie. Haku stay behind in case something else happens" Naruto groaned as he prepared for battle. He didn't bother taking out his sword since he wouldn't need it.
"Shall we?" Nadare smirked as he jumped away leading them onto the surface. The other fighters made their way into the ice and prepared for battle.
(Uzumaki mansion)
Ino Yamanaka was not in a good mood as she started getting dressed for another day of missions. Once again Naruto had refused to speak to her about why she taught the girls his jutsu. "Why's he being so freaking stubborn about this. I mean I taught him some of my clan techniques also" Ino groaned.
"Teaching Naruto mental interrogation techniques is a very different situation from jutsu that would allow you to control people's minds. As a Yamanaka you should know that as well as anybody" a voice lectured.
"I get it Latias but it's not like we're going to use them very often. Plus the girls know to use them carefully" Ino replied to her partner. Latias was the partner dragon that she got from Naruto's mark and the pair quickly became good friends thanks to their shared ability in mental warfare. Before they could discuss the situation further, her door was hastily opened and Kin walked in.
"Ino we have a big problem, clan meeting in twenty minutes in lady Tsunade's office. Tell the others" Kin said nervously.
'As if this day couldn't get any worse' Ino groaned as she started the hand signs for a jutsu Latias taught her that she could use to communicate over much larger distances. Since it was a clan meeting that meant that whatever happened involved one of Naruto's girls.
(Scene Skip)
Arriving at Tsunade's office Ino knew there was trouble when she saw Ibiki and her father with Tsunade. Karin Kin and Tayuya were also there along with Hinata and Tenten, who were conveniently in the village. "What happened" Ino said nervously realizing the stern look on Tsunade's face.
"Last night somebody decided to free Tayuya's old teammates from their prison. A quick investigation showed something fairly interesting." Ibiki said coldly.
"Let me guess, the investigation showed that Tayuya was the one who did it" Hinata said with spite in her voice since that explained why everyone was here.
"Now hold on a minute. I wouldn't free those bastards after everything that happened. Plus I was at the house all night" Tayuya protested.
Karin spoke up quickly since she was security while Naruto was gone "I can confirm that. I've taken up Naruto's habit of leaving a shadow clone to monitor everything since he's not there. Tayuya's chakra signature never left the house." Karin confirmed.
"We know." Tsunade said sternly surprising everybody. "The problem is somebody took serious measures to make us believe she did. You girls are here because I have no idea who would want to frame you and I was curious what you think."
The girls all paused and thought about it, "Nobody comes to mind for me" Ino said first. The rest of the girls all said the same thing which was even more troublesome.
Tsunade looked at Inoichi and Ibiki who nodded in understanding, "Well that's it for now. Just be careful out there girls" Tsunade warned.
"Shouldn't we tell Naruto" Tenten wondered nervously. The fact that Naruto wasn't here despite him knowing the Hirashin was a shock.
"No because he's on an important mission." Tsunade said sternly. She knew that if her instinct was right Naruto was in the middle of an annoying situation and he didn't need the headache that was no doubt on the way.
(Naruto vs Pink hair)
Naruto smiled as he looked at the pink haired shinobi with a smile on his face, "So I'm guessing you're a user of ice style huh. This should be good" Naruto smirked as he focused on his opponent.
The kunoichi looked surprised by the young man's calm expression, "You've fought against an ice user before I take it" the young woman smirked.
"You could say that. By the way it's only fair I introduce myself before we get started. Name's Naruto Uzumaki" Naruto said with a smile.
The woman was taken aback by his calmness but decided to respond in kind, "Fubuki. That's all you get before you die" the women replied.
"I don't think so" Naruto smirked as he appeared behind her and slammed her in the back with a roundhouse kick. As Fubuki smashed into the ice she was stunned at how fast the young man was.
"Damn you're good" Fubuki groaned before jumping out of the way of another strike.
"Thanks a lot. Though it's a shame I have to fight such a cute girl" Naruto smirked before making some hand signs. He could've had a drawn out battle but he was going to have his own fun.
"Thanks for the compliment but your jutsu won't work on me. My armor creates a chakra barrier that blocks all jutsu" Fubuki snarled.
"Not this one" Naruto smirked as he snuck behind her again and tapped her on the shoulder before moving away.
'So where's your big bad jutsu" Fubuki snarled again.
"I've already used it." Naruto smirked. King's Command or even Amorous would fail because of the way the genjutsu's worked but since Temptation touch required physical contact he could get around the armor. It was the same principle as to why only close range ninjutsu could destroy the armor at least that's what Kakashi suggested.
'What the" Fubuki wondered before falling to the ground. "What did you do to me you bastard" Fubuki snarled.
"I've given you a little present. Next time we meet things will be far more interesting but for now I have to go." Naruto smiled before using Hirashin to return to the ship.
"How the hell did he vanish like that?" Fubuki wondered before looking to the sky. "Nadare you bastard we're still here" Fubuki groaned as she managed to gain enough control of herself to get away from the upcoming strike.
(Sasuke vs Purple hair)
As Sasuke Uchiha dodged the latest ice attack from his opponent he couldn't help but groan. The large man in front of him was surprisingly fast and agile; it didn't help that his chakra armor negated the few attacks that managed to hit him "He's really annoying" Sasuke grunted.
"My chakra armor makes me invincible. There's nothing you can do against me" the purple haired snow shinobi boasted.
"We'll get you" Sakura growled back
"She's right. I just need to change strategies" Sasuke said firmly. He didn't like using the technique but he knew now was the time. "Shadow Clone Jutsu" Sasuke growled as 5 more copies of him appeared.
"So what? Those clones won't change anything" the purple haired shinobi taunted.
"Yes they will" Sasuke smirked as the clones charged the man. Sasuke realized that close range was the only way to go in this battle and that's why the shadow clones appeared. Sure an overpowering jutsu would do the job but since this was the first skirmish he didn't want to do that.
"Sasuke we gotta get going" Sakura yelled out all of the sudden. Sasuke turned back and noticed two large whales made of ice appear in the sky.
"Shit!" Sasuke cursed as he fled the area.
"Oh well" the purple haired man snarled before leaving himself. As far as he was concerned he won the first round.
(Kakashi vs Nadare)
'You're as annoying as ever Nadare" Kakashi groaned as his Sharingan kept watch of his newest opponent. Nadare Ryoga was a man he fought during the original mission and he managed to win using the raw power of his Chidori.
"Thank you Kakashi. So care to tell me where is Princess Koyuki" Nadare taunted as he finished the hand signs for his latest "Ice Style: Ice Eagle Jutsu." A group of birds made of ice charged at Kakashi but the copy ninja was ready to counter.
"Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu" Kakashi replied as a group of Fire balls blocked the attack. "All you need to know is that she's coming to take back Snow Country" Kakashi said with spite.
"I suppose that's enough. It's pretty obvious we won't conclude anything today?" Nadare taunted as he started making hand signs for a larger technique.
Kakashi's eyes widened as he recognized the seals, "You wouldn't" Kakashi gasped as he quickly made hand signs for the same technique.
"I would." Nadare growled finishing his technique. Ice Style: One horned White whale
"Phew I'm gonna make it" Kakashi said calmly before using the same technique the clash of the whales allowed Kakashi to protect the ship in exchange for ending the battle as it was.
(Scene Skip)
The group of ninja barely managed to return to the ship in time and it took a second before Kakashi was able to join them. After informing the crew that they were okay the 5 ninja all went over to Naruto's room to talk about their opponents and what their next move would be. "So what are you guys impressions on these new ninja." Kakashi said calmly knowing that he would be handling Nadare in the rematch.
"The big guy wasn't too strong but that armor makes him a pain to beat. Now I can do it but it's still annoying" Sasuke grunted. Sasuke knew not to use his most powerful jutsu and that was the key to the final battle.
"No disagreements from me." Naruto said calmly.
"You know for somebody who battled against one of those guys alone you look fairly undamaged Naruto." Kakashi noted with a hint of amusement.
Naruto smiled at the comment and figured why not, "I created a group of genjutsu that worked really well on kunoichi. I used one of them on her before that whale ruined the battlefield" Naruto said calmly causing Sasuke's eyes to widen and Sakura to blush heavily.
"Is that why you and Ino started seeing each other" Sakura wondered. She also wondered if Naruto used it on her the night she saw him with the other girls in his class.
"That story is a bit complicated but the point is that I can deal with Fubuki the pink haired chick. The problem is we don't know why they're targeting Koyuki." Naruto said sternly.
"Princess Koyuki is in possession of a small crystal necklace that was given to her by her father. According to old rumors that crystal is supposed to be the key to a weapon that was known only to the leader of the Land of Snow and was why Doto killed him to begin with. My original mission when I came here as a child was to find the weapon and determine if it was a threat. Then the rebellion happened and I was told to lead Koyuki away since it wouldn't matter how powerful the weapon was if he couldn't activate it." Kakashi explained.
"In other words this Doto guy doesn't need Koyuki he just needs the crystal." Naruto said calmly processing everything he learned. Something about this whole thing was bugging him and he had a feeling that there was more to the story than meets the eye.
"What are you getting at?" Kakashi said nervously. Naruto was the type who had devious plans and from the look on his face, Naruto came up with another one.
"Let's just get to the Land of Snow first. I have a feeling Doto is in for a rude awakening" Naruto smirked.
The team looked at him nervously but realized that if he wanted to tell them he would and clearly he didn't. So everyone left each other for the moment knowing that they would arrive in Snow within a day.
(Scene Skip)
The team arrived in the Land of Snow with very little fanfare from the enemy snow ninja and the group quickly made their way to a city where the resistance was waiting. While there was fanfare all around Naruto was focused on a few issues that were occupying his mind. One was about the weapon that Doto was supposedly after and the other was about the way that things had played out on the way there.
"A penny for your thoughts Naruto." Kakashi said calmly as they relaxed during the party.
"Which ones. About the so called weapon or about how the hell they knew we were coming." Naruto groaned. Even if they knew about Sandayu and the movie shoot there's no way in hell they would've known how they were getting there. That means there was a spy amongst them and they were going to act sooner or later.
"In other words things are going to get nasty very soon." Kakashi said sternly understanding his point. He was aware of the same thing and the question wasn't who the spy was, but rather when they would act.
"Yeah" Naruto replied. He was brought from his musings by Haku.
"Come on Naruto. Let's enjoy the party while we can" Haku said with a surprisingly sultry voice.
"Sure" Naruto replied. Thanks to the Temptation's Touch the pink haired ninja would probably appear before him soon enough and then he could take his time interrogating her.
(Scene Skip)
Midnight had arrived and a naked Naruto and Haku were snugging together when one of the clones he was using for security dispelled. "Good grief and here I was hoping she would wait a little longer." Naruto groaned as he got up to get dressed. The clone in question was watching for any signs of the pink haired ninja arriving in the village they were staying at since it meant their spy would make a move.
"Do you have to leave so soon Naruto" Haku moaned having got up while he was getting dressed.
"Yeah I do Haku. We have to protect our client after all." Naruto smirked as he walked over to Haku and kissed her on the cheek before using Hirashin to get into Koyuki's bedroom, a task made easy by the mark his clone placed in her room during the party. Arriving in a flash he quickly spotted one of the male extra's reaching for Koyuki's necklace on her dresser. Admittedly not what he expected but that was fine too.
"Shit, what are you doing here?" the man cursed realizing he was in trouble.
"My job. I am supposed to guard Princess Koyuki after all" Naruto smirked as he quickly KOed the man with a chop to the neck. As he fell to the ground Naruto smiled because he was right after all. There was a spy among the group and with him gone it was time to interrogate him. 'Now let's see how much you know' Naruto thought to himself as he began making hand signs for a mind scan jutsu that Ino taught him. As he looked through the man's mind he realized that maybe it was time to forgive Ino for teaching the girls his jutsu. After all, Ino's jutsu had given him tons of juicy info and now he was ready to go meet with Fubuki while his clone brought his spy to a no doubt awake Kakashi.
(Scene Skip)
Fubuki was a very annoyed woman as she hid in an alley way in the middle of the village that the rebels were using. Even though he didn't physically hurt her, the blonde ninja she fought during the previous battle cast some kind of jutsu that made her extremely horny. She didn't know why he had done it but she knew that the only way to get rid of the lust was to find him and get him to release the spell. Fortunately, Doto had a spy that had worked many movies with Koyuki and he told them they had arrived in the Land of Snow earlier in the day. He was then assigned to steal the crystal but not kill Koyuki since Doto did still have a soft spot for his niece. Much to growing her annoyance the man was running late as she waited in the town for the spy to arrive. She was currently in a black hooded sweatshirt that hid her signature pink hair and dark blue pants. The chakra armor was underneath in case she was spotted by one of the ninja and had to escape. Of course the spy was disposable so she would kill him in due time. She heard footsteps which meant that the person she was waiting for had arrived, "What took you so…" Fubuki started to say before she saw that the person in question was the blonde ninja from before.
"I imagine you were going to say what took you so long right?" Naruto smirked as he appeared by himself. Luckily for him nobody else had spotted him and now he could interrogate Fubuki as he pleased.
"You realize that it was reckless to appear by yourself. With all the snow around us my jutsu are far more powerful than before." Fubuki chided. It was a bluff but hopefully one she could use to get away.
"True but you don't want to risk a fight right now. That's why you used that spy to steal Koyuki's necklace." Naruto smirked realizing the obvious bluff.
Fubuki was screwed and she knew it. The young man's display in their first battle showed she was no match for the man and if he wanted to he could use that jutsu on her again to cripple her. "Let's make a deal" Fubuki said with a smile on her face. It would be slightly humiliating but there was only one way to get away safely.
Naruto was skeptical of her but under the circumstances he was fine, "What kind of deal" Naruto replied with a seemingly curious voice. He had a fairly good idea of what she was planning and he could use that himself to have even more fun.
Fubuki was surprised by his curiosity, and now she had her chance. Fubuki stripped down to her underwear and walked over to the young man with a lustful smile on her face. It was a risk to get rid of her armor but she needed to get him to drop his guard. "In exchange for a little fun with me why don't you let me go" Fubuki teased with a sultry voice as she pressed her body against him.
"Sounds good to me" Naruto said happily as he wrapped his arms around her enjoying her decent sized bust and soft body. Of course he did so because he wanted to make the hand signs for his jutsu without her seeing them.
Fubuki was caught off guard by the action but wasn't about to complain. "My my I didn't take you for a romantic" Fubuki teased until she saw his eyes change from blue to red.
"Secret Art: King's Command" Naruto said with a smile on his face. Her plan was to use the opening created from their fun to attack him and escape but he wasn't going to give her that shot.
"What is your command master" Fubuki said with a glazed voice the hypnotic effect of his jutsu clearly taking hold.
"Until I say so are not permitted to use any jutsu" Naruto ordered.
"Yes Master" Fubuki replied stuck in a trance. Unlike when he used it on Neko, this time Fubuki would have no clue about the command she was under.
"Good girl" Naruto smirked as his eyes returned to his ice blue.
Fubuki's eyes faded and she looked at the man in front of her. She had no idea what he had done but she knew that he did something "What did you do?" Fubuki questioned realizing that something happened.
"Don't worry about it. Just keep to your end of the bargain" Naruto smiled.
Fubuki knew that this wasn't about romance and walked in front of Naruto and hunched down in front of his groin, "So I assume a quick blowjob will be enough" Fubuki scowled.
"Sure" Naruto smirked as she pulled his pants down revealing his hardened member.
"What the hell?" Fubuki exclaimed not expecting him to be 10 inches long and an inch and a half thick.
"Not bad huh. It's actually not even fully hard." Naruto smiled as Fubuki looked on in shock.
'You gotta be kidding me. This guy is 10 inches but that's not even full. He's bigger than anybody I've ever been with' Fubuki thought to herself as she began to stroke the man slowly and gently.
"Mhmm not bad at all" Naruto said calmly as he lowered his guard to see what she'd do next.
'Perfect this is my chance.' Fubuki thought to herself as she removed her hand from his shaft.
"Switching things up I see." Naruto smirked knowing what she was planning.
"Yes and I hope you like it" Fubuki said calmly as she attempted to fit his shaft into her mouth. Unfortunately for her she only managed to get a few inches in before she reached her limit but looking at his expression that was enough.
"Very nice Fubuki, shame you can't fit all of me in you but that's okay." Naruto teased.
'You have bigger problems to worry about' Fubuki thought to herself as she bobbed her head slowly while making hand signs underneath him, hoping to literally catch the kid with his pants down. Just as she was about to use her jutsu to kill him she stopped for some reason.
"Nice try Fubuki." Naruto said as he looked down at the half naked kunoichi.
"What the hell did you do?" Fubuki exclaimed as she pulled away. Clearly she hadn't seen this coming.
Naruto smiled since it was obvious that she was trapped, "The jutsu I used is called King's Command. With it I can give you any order I want and the one I chose was to make sure you couldn't use any jutsu till I was done with you. The funny thing is it wouldn't have worked if you kept your armor on." Naruto smiled.
Fubuki cursed internally since her plan backfired, "Okay then. Do your worst" Fubuki groaned realizing that now she was really at his mercy.
Naruto walked up to Fubuki with a savage grin on his face and looked at her sternly. Luckily for him, a combination of his Wind Shroud jutsu and a soundproofing seal meant nobody would know what happened in the alleyway besides him. "Place your hands against the wall ass facing me." Naruto smirked. It wasn't exactly the cleanest way to do things but considering she was planning to kill him he wasn't exactly in a merciful mood.
As she followed his instructions Fubuki looked at Naruto nervously, "Once you're done having your way with me I can go right?" Fubuki wondered nervously. There was a chance he might kill her after her stunt but she could only hope.
"That's right, but this isn't going to hurt at all. In fact, it's gonna feel real good." Naruto smirked as he got behind her and slipped her panties off. Things were about to get fun for Naruto and he knew it.
(Scene Skip)
Naruto arrived back at the place he was staying at with a satisfied look on his face which quickly faded when his teacher appeared at the entrance. It was obviously a shadow clone so the real one could rest and he wasn't about to complain. "So I take it your interrogation went well." Kakashi said with a raised eyebrow. Naruto's clone brought the spy to a prison of sorts in the village before returning to Kakashi and debriefing on him. That's how the Copy ninja knew that Naruto was having fun with the pink haired kunoichi that Doto sent against them.
"You could say that?" Naruto replied with a satisfied expression on his face. 'If you call well, spending an hour unloading 6 loads into an enemy kunoichi's pussy and another 2 in her ass. Hell I probably wouldn't need a jutsu if I ran into her again' Naruto reminisced as he remembered Fubuki's screams of pleasure near the end of their tryst. Once he was done he told her to pretend that the reason she took so long was that the spy couldn't get away. She naturally agreed and Naruto left the alleyway.
Kakashi saw the expression and didn't bother to ask just how much fun his student had with the enemy kunoichi. "Your clone told me about the mind scan and that you know what Doto is planning next" Kakashi smiled.
"Yep and I'll tell you what I learned in the morning. We could all use some rest" Naruto smirked as he returned to his room in order to relax. The next day was certainly going to be a headache.
(Scene Skip)
Naruto was relaxing in the meadow with Kurama playing around as he prepared for an important guest to come. When he was speaking with Kurama about his next move, Timaeus returned and mentioned that Ino's dragon was back and wanted to speak to him. This time he accepted and Timaeus left to grab his sister.
"I'm back Naruto, and I've brought my sister." Timaeus said calmly with a young woman next to him. The young woman had brown hair that stuck up like a sideways J on each side. She was wearing a green blouse with white shorts and a pair of pink shoes with black socks.
(For those who have seen Pokémon Heroes think of Bianca)
The young woman approached a relaxing Naruto and bowed, "Greetings Lord Naruto may name is Latias, and this is my human form. As you are already aware I'm the partner dragon of Ms Ino Yamanaka"
"Hello Latias and I want to start out by saying that I shouldn't have gotten angry at Ino. I was a little rash and she didn't deserve that." Naruto admitted.
"Lady Ino will be glad to hear that. She was frustrated by your anger." Latias replied.
"That's fine and tell Ino that I can't wait to see her when I get home" Naruto smiled before leaving the dreamscape.
Once he was gone Timaeus turned towards his sister nervously since they didn't bring up what happened with Tayuya. "Are you sure you don't want to tell him about that." Timaeus wondered.
"Based on what you told me his important mission is about to end soon. Plus there's nothing he can do from here about that."
"Yes and that's true. Somebody targeting one of his women will no doubt infuriate him." Timaeus replied knowingly.
"Care to fill me in" Kurama spoke up having appeared next to the pair in his human form.
Timaeus was afraid to tell him but realized that Kurama would handle this properly. "That's right. Somebody broke Tayuya's old teammates out of prison and tried to frame her."
Kurama's expression darkened but only for a moment, "I have a feeling I know who did it but I'll discuss it with Naruto later. He's far too tired for this type of thing right now." Kurama smirked. The mission in the Land of Snow was coming to an end but there was no doubt that when Naruto returned he'd have a headache on his hands.
That's it for Chapter23. Yeah this was a tricky one again but I hope you guys enjoyed what I'm planning with this one. Next chapter the final battle for the Land of Snow begins and there's a nasty twist along the way. Well nasty for Doto.
AN: Before anybody asks don't suggest partner dragons for the girls because I've already got that under control. The girls who are getting dragons have already had their partners decided by me.
