Yami didn't know it, but something was... off.

'... Naruto going off into the desert alone... I'm not worried about him. I'm really not... but I've had a strange feeling that something is wrong.' Yami wasn't worried about Naruto. He was stronger than she was, and he had a lifetime of battle experience. They might be on a different world than his own, but she trusted him to keep himself safe. No, her strange feeling was something completely different than that. She didn't know what was causing the strange feeling, but she had the feeling she was being watched.

Which was weird, because she was about to take a shower, her ship now having a fully refilled water supply... she didn't want to use it. Instead, she was actually using the shower that was in the Inn they were staying in. It cost her per minute to take a shower, any use of water was charged if it wasn't water that was being recycled for it's own use later.

Standing in just her panties and the belts around her legs, she held her dress up to her chest to cover it, and looked around.

Somebody better not be watching her right now, or somebody was going to die.

No windows in the room, and she hadn't come into contact with anyone that could plant a microphone, tracker, or any type of camera on her.

"No... before I met Naruto, I always had this feeling..." Yami shook her head and folded up her dress, before she placed it down. Taking off each belt on her legs was always tedious, so they came off before her panties did. Walking into the shower, she drew the curtains closed behind her, and started the water. "... It feels nice, this cold shower." Yami turned the water to it's coldest setting, and she enjoyed the feeling as the water cascaded over her skin.

All of the sweat that she had worked up just by being on the planet was being washed away, and though the cold water had certain effects on her body, she ignored them in favor of getting to work taking care of her hair.

It was her best weapon after all, had to keep it free of tangles.

'Good, she's distracted... I'll use this chance to seperate.'

A white blob started to form out of Yami's dress as a humanoid white face started to take shape, coming out of her black clothes as if it was normal. Green hair forming as a white colored man with a twisted face started to come out of the clothes completely. He was naked, but without any genitals or any other gender formative characteristics other than his masculine body shape.

"Is somebody there?"

White Zetsu refused himself into Yami's clothes, changing his color to black as the fusion was completed. When Yami looked out into the bathroom, using the curtains to keep her breasts and lower body covered, she didn't see anything there. With narrowed eyes, suspicion of a person there visible in them, she scanned the room for the sound she had heard.

'Damn girl... as useful as you are for staying next to the Kyuubi Jinchuriki, your paranoid mind is really troubling.' White Zetsu thought as he stayed inside of her clothes. For awhile now, since she killed his fellow White Zetsu clone, he had been hiding inside of her clothes. A single spore had been planted on her, and it formed into him. Sadly, he had yet to find the chance to escape from her and use his chakra to mentally contact the other White Zetsu clones.

Everytime she was naked, she was either on her ship or in Naruto's apartment while Naruto was there, and he didn't have the chance to escape.

This time, White Zetsu more quietly unfused from her clothes and fused himself into the floor, sinking into the ground to make his escape on the foreign planet. It was an easy thing to do mostly, but if she saw him doing it, then she would tell Naruto. She was more useful alive than dead, so killing her wasn't an option at the moment. Stealth was the name of the game, a game he had an advantage in.

Time to use his chakra to contact the his own creator, once he was far away to not be sensed by anyone.

-With Princess Run-

"Stupid Lala! Taking me all this way to test her stupid inventions, and then using her stupid proto-type teleporter! Meanie, stupid, jerk! Eeeep!"

A girl, possibly no older than 10 or so years old, screamed out as she stayed on a tall rock, on all fours. She had long lime-green hair, with dark purple eyes, and was rather fair skinned. She was on the more petite side, which was more normal for a child, though she had started her development in her hips. She wore light clothing, more feathery, and had a veil covering the sides and back of her head, but not her face..

Princess of Memorze, Princess Run.

Ulps, having gained their names from the disgusting sounds they made, and their rather ugly appearance. They were a rather peaceful species normally, at least the domestic Ulps were peaceful.

They were about 10 to 20 feet long, with brown-scales covering their long serpant-like bodies. They had no eyes or ears, or even noses, the front of their faces were just open mouths with 10 rows of sharp teeth. They had 7 small arms coming out of both sides of their bodies, arms that all had 3 clawed fingers on them. At the end of their bodies were bladed scales (for the males), and stingers (for the females). As they circled around the rock she was standing on, they made squishing sounds with their slimy arms.

"Ulp." Run covered her mouth to try not to vomit when the Ulps vomitted on the ground around the rock to try and attract more of their species to the location. Two of them, there were about 8 around her, started to dig into the sand. "Stupid guard, running away!" Run shouted as she slammed her small hands against the rock.

Just because he had been injured protecting her, and put her on top of this rock, didn't mean he should run away. He should have ran away and taken her with him.

Well, at least Ulps weren't capable climbers, since their fingers lacked the grip strength to climb, so she should be safe long enough for help to come for her. They were more capable at throwing up their highly corrosive vomit. Run blinked and looked at steam that was rising from the rocks below her, where the Ulps were throwing up. The base of the large rock disolving rather quickly, her rock throwing much less stable.

"Hey! You disgusting worms, why don't you pick on somebody with some more meat on their bones."

Run looked towards the sound of the voice, and she blinked when she saw a strange off-worlder walking towards the Ulps with crossed arms. He had a large smirk on his face, cocky and self-assured as he moved confidently towards the dangerous animals. True, they weren't the most dangerous, but a group of Ulps together were not to be underestimated.

"What are worms?" Run whispered in confusion.

Also, Ulps didn't have ears, they sensed vibrations through their fleshy arms, which lacked the scales the rest of their body had. She didn't know how the man had gotten so close to them without the Ulps noticing, but he must be light on his feet. His loud voice did create the vibrations needed for them to take notice of him though, and since he wasn't on a gaint rock, and was larger than she was, it would seem they decided that he was a more delicious meal than she was.

'Time to save the princess, and this time, I'm going to actually look cool doing it.' Naruto smiled to himself at his inner thoughts.

Saving princesses was always something he enjoyed, because what said Hero like saving a damsel in distress, and a royal one at that? It was part of his idea of what he wanted to do with his ninja career.

"Save me already!"

'Though, she seems like she has a bit of an attitude...' Naruto rolled his eyes and tensed his legs, jumping up into the air as the two Ulps that burrowed into the ground shot up at him. He kicked one out of the air and onto it's side, before he took a kunai out and flung it down the throat of the second Ulp. The kunai came out of the back of it's general head area, and the Ulp fell out of the air and started to twitch, before it stopped moving by the time that Naruto landed on top of the Ulp that he kicked. "Rasengan!" Naruto formed a Rasengan, and slammed it into the Ulp he was standing on top of. Using a low powered Rasengan, he carved a hole through the Ulp with ease.

Standing above his kill, he looked at the 6 remaing Ulps, who were shaking their stingers and blades in anger when the death pheromones of their species spread through the air.

"... So cool." Run whispered as she watched two Ulps get taken down within seconds of each other in such a cool, warrior, way. She moved over towards the edge of the rock and watched the hero that was saving her work. "He's strong."

Naruto jumped off the Ulp and grabbed the bloody kunai he threw earlier, before he spun it, swinging the blood off.

"Now, I don't have to kill all of you... you can just turn your tails, and run away. Be good little worms and wiggle away." Naruto jerked his head in the opposite direction, showing them where he wanted them to go. He started to walk towards the Ulps, before he broke out in a jog.

The creatures started to run full speed at him, waving their tails behind them, and gripping acid vomit from their mouths as they ran.

One of their tails hit the digesting rock behind them, and shattered a large chunk of it.

For Run, time slowed down as the rock underneath her gave. One second, she was safely on a large rock, and the next she was falling down towards the sand below, right down towards an Ulp that had noticed that she was falling. Her eyes widened as she saw the Ulp getting closer to her, as she was pulled down by gravity.

Naruto moved.

'One...' Naruto now ran towards Run, with his kunai he split an Ulp in half as he passed by it faster than it could react. He jumped into the air and attached an explosive note to it, before throwing it in between two Ulps. He made a handsign as he passed by over them, and it exploded, sending pieces of them everywhere. 'Two, three.' Naruto thought to himself as he landed on top of the fourth of the six. He slammed his fist into it, and shattered it's armor, and caved it's internal organs in. '... Four.' Naruto thought as he created a Shadow Clone, and grabbed it's arm.

It nodded at him.

Run didn't see as Naruto quickly dispatched each of the Ulps, all she could see was the Ulp that she was falling down towards.

Naruto threw his clone at the fifth Ulp, and using it's momentum, it also threw the original up towards Run as she fell. The clone threw a handful of shuriken at the Ulp it was heading to, before it landed on it's side and knocked it down to it's side, drawing two kunai and killing it with quick slashes, vanishing in a puff of smoke.

'What?'

Run didn't know what happened, but in an instant she was no longer looking at the Ulp below her. Instead, time seemed to return to normal as she was in the arms of the stranger who was saving her. She was staring at his muscled chest as she was flying in his arms higher and higher into the sky above them. She looked up and saw his confident grin, his eyes sparkling with joy as he looked down at her.

"Huh?" Run voiced out loud.

"A hero always rescues the beautiful girl at the last second, now hold on tight, because we're about to give that bastard down there a one way trip to hell." Naruto held onto Run with one arm, and used his thumb to point behind them to the Ulp. She looked underneath his arm as they stopped going higher, and started to fall again towards the Ulp. It was waiting for them to fall onto it's open mouth and sharp teeth.

"Eeep!" Run's scared squeek got a laugh from Naruto.

Naruto stayed completely still in the air as they fell, and Run screamed louder, not noticing the rings appear around Naruto's eyes, or as they changed into toad eyes. Naruto continued to fall backwards towards the Ulp, with his confident smirk never once leaving his face.

Meters... feet... it wasn't until they were inches away that Naruto turned around in the air, and slammed his fist into the Ulp.

*BOOM*

A huge explosion of sand rose into the air underneath the force of Naruto's fist, the Ulp shooting as deep as it could into the sand, having died on impact with his fist. A massive crater appeared in the sand, while Naruto landed holding her with one arm, his fist in the sand as the rings around his eyes vanished and eyes became normal. Naruto stood up straight with her in his arm, changing to hold her with both of his arms, before he gave her a toothy smile.

Run's face turned bright red, and she looked away from him.

'He's... amazing...'

'... I finally looked cool saving a princess... yes, that felt amazing, like everything I hoped it would be. I looked cool, and I didn't have to get the shit beat out of me to do it.' Naruto tried his best to not scream to the heavens in joy for what he just did. Usually when he saved a princess, it was after he had gotten into a fight and took some heavy hits. This time, he managed to look like a complete badass doing it. "Are you okay Princess?" Naruto asked her with serious concern this time.

Looking cool aside, he needed to make sure she was okay.

Run opened her mouth, but closed her mouth and nodded her head with red cheeks. She leaned her head into his chest and looked anywhere but at his face.

"MmmHmmm."

"Then lets take you home." Naruto spoke with kindness as he started to walk back from where he came from. Now that he had saved her, he was going to take her back home.

Then, he could go train.
