Second chapter of today (reason in the end).
Hey guys I really do like making those multi-fight scenes. I mean as long as they aren't too long it I just like seeing several different matches at a time just to keep it interesting to read.. at least for me anyways. Oh, and I won't be able to post this summer for the most part due to me being away from a computer that I will be able to post from. But I will post as soon as I can which means that there might be one posted about half way through the summer. Anyways I will put this statement on the main description box. But for now let's get back to the actual story.
But I don't own Naruto if you haven't realized this already after reading nearly thirty chapters.
Chapter 28
"Normal Talking"
"Normal Thinking"
"Demon Talking"
"Demon Talking"
'Talking to demon'
After the fight was the crew and mist ninja all quickly got back to the ship not wanting to be around that area just in case there was any other danger on it. So, in a matter of fifteen minutes they all were ready to head back to their journey.
"Okay then let's get back to our movie trip!" Rojui called out happily with the rest of the crew agreeing just as energetic except for Kisuke who simply just nodded smiling while sitting in his chair.
Course Koyuki was her same old self and just rolled her eyes at their happiness. She then just walked away from the group into her room. Course she would never admit it but she was actually now a bit thankful that they brought the ninja for if they didn't come she probably would have been kidnapped or worse. Though that was really the only reason she was relieved. Course all of the excitement still exhausted her enough to take a quick nap. Though she also let her mind wander a bit as well.
"Hmm…these girls actually seem pretty strong. I mean them and their sensei held back those guys. So, I guess I can allow them to stay with us. Though yet again that fool Naruko..Naropo..whatever he wasn't even fighting. I mean he just let his team do it for him. Man I knew he was just one of those "ninja" who just are there for publicity. Hmm, maybe I can get them to simply make him go back home so I don't have to deal with his crap…" Koyuki thought then fell asleep.
+ four days later+
"Okay then team I have just talked to the captain and we should be reaching land soon. Now remember when we reach it we will be going the rest of the way by foot. So, make sure you keep to the four point diamond defense plan. For we have already been attacked by enemies. So, there is nothing stopping them from attacking again. Just make sure that no one we are protecting gets injured okay?" Zabuza asks them his team after explaining his plan. Course they all simply nodded and waited for the ship to dock while they prepared their equipment.
Though they didn't need to wait too long for it only took another half an hour for them to here one of the crew scream out "land." So, they quickly packed up and jumped to the front of the dock ready to be the first people off to make sure that no one attacked them on the new land. And soon enough they were doing just that watching the team slowly unpack for the trip.
"Ugh this is so boring!" Megumi complained after watching the group for a good couple of minutes just watching the slow group work.
"Well to bad. For this is all a part of the mission. And if you didn't have to be with Naruto every minute you are awake you could have not even been on this mission." Zabuza told the girl who quickly blushed and got annoyed with her sensei.
"Hey! I don't need to spend ALL my time with him. I just like to be teamed with people I completely trust. And that will trust me completely as well." Mei told him blushing out of embarrassment. Course this just made Zabuza laugh making it clear that he didn't believe her for at all. Course they soon heard a commotion on the ship and began to prepare for whatever was going on. Course they didn't even have to move from their spot for the disturbance that seemed to be a girl on a horse jumped off of the ship and ran away from the ship at a fast pace. Though they didn't have any idea who it was seeing as they were surprised by seeing it in the first place. But they soon go over that when they heard Sandayu yelling that Koyuki has escaped. Course when they heard this they just groaned annoyed.
"Naruto you deal with this." Zabuza told Naruto quickly seeing as he didn't want to deal with the childish actor.
"Fine." Naruto told Zabuza with a sigh then got up and started to running in the direction Koyuki just went.
"Man why does she have to act so childish. I mean really, running away from both her job and commitment. Not to mention the fact that she still treats everyone else like crap. Ugh, at least I hopefully don't need to worry about her for too much longer." Naruto thought as he ran after her gaining on her each second he ran, seeing as a horse couldn't possible out run a trained ninja.
And of course a few minutes later he managed to find her still forcing her horse to go as fast as it possibly could. But it didn't look like she planned on going anywhere specific seeing as she has already switched her direction several times making it so that she traveled even less than what she could have. Still Naruto didn't even try to catch her yet seeing as she would just start complaining and just decided that he would simply watch over her until nighttime while he sent a message to the crew to continue on. Which wouldn't be a problem seeing as she ironically was running away to the very place they were going to anyways ironically.
"This will be a long day." Naruto thought already starting to get bored just watching the girl ride around on the horse.
+That Night+
"So, how much of the movie do we have left to film?" Sandayu asked Kisuke curious.
"Hmm… well it is kind of hard to guess but I would have to guess we have about a week or two left of filming left to do." Kisuke told him though didn't seem too sure about that himself.
"Ah, well I guess that will be..fine…" Sandayu responded until he noticed that Naruto was finally back with them. And also that Koyuki was tossed over his shoulder still sound asleep.
"Um, does she even know that you brought her back?" he asked the teenager who simply shook his no. Course after that Naruto simply just walked to one of the hotel room's spare rooms and dropped Koyuki onto the bed.
"Man is this how they treat every famous person they work with?" Sandayu things when he sees this and can't help but stare shocked by Naruto's actions to the actor that he knew was a favorite of his girlfriends. Still he didn't say anything seeing as he knew that if she was actually awake they all wouldn't get any sleep having to hear her complain about the rudeness of Naruto. And with that they all went to sleep themselves forgetting all about the conversation they were having before.
+Next Morning+
Koyuki woke up and immediately noticed that the room she was in didn't look like the apartment room she got last night. So, she was instantly worried but then noticed her manager walk through the door holding a tray of breakfast for her.
"Koyuki you really need to stop running away from us. I mean you are the main character what would we have done without you?" Sandayu asks her "not to mention the fact that we need you to rule the country seeing as you are the rightful heir." He added mentally. Course instead of getting an answer she just 'hmph'ed then turned her head away from him but then remembered the food and how hungry she was. So, she quickly grabbed the food and turned back away ignoring her manager while she ate.
*sigh* "Koyuki when do you plan to grow up. I know you know why we are here so just face it and stop being so afraid." Sandayu told her causing her to clench her fists in rage.
"I am not afraid! I just don't see the point of coming back to this country! It is over they won! Get it through your head already and give up!" She yelled at him still angry. Course he just sighed and walked out of her bedroom not saying another word to her.
"I really hope you change Koyuki. You are the last hope of our land whether you know it or not. For you show our hope for the future. Without you the fight would have been over long ago…I just hope you can grow up already." Sandayu thought as he walked away from her room happy that no one else seemed to be woken up by Koyuki's yelling.
Still even Koyuki was with them as they went onto their rides and continued on their way to the town where the actual castle was. But the easiest way to get there was to travel over what used to be a rail road passage that had long since frozen over. SO, they all quickly drove through a large tunnel and were about to continue on until Kisuke stopped them right outside of the mountain.
"Guys set up we are filming here!" he yelled out surprising everyone. Still they all went to work on it without even muttering a single complaint. And within only a couple of minutes they were all most ready to do just that.
"Man they really do set up pretty damn fast…how do they do it?" Megumi whispered to both Mei and Naruto as they sat down watching.
"I guess they must be secretly be training ever so slightly to become ninja or something" Naruto guesses. Though he laughs a bit after showing that he wasn't really serious.
"Oh, shut up Naruto we were being serious here." Mei told him hitting his shoulder slightly though couldn't help but smile as well. "Anyways Megumi I think it is just because they have done it so many times and are just use to it." Mai told her friends.
Course after that they simply talked to each other about random things while they kept watch over the whole group. And soon enough they were watching the actual filming start though they didn't see much seeing as almost right when they recorded the tracks they just went over melted and a train was heard. Course that was only one of the signs of danger they noticed.
"Wait what the hell!? These tracks have chakra flowing through them!" Mei told the group shocked. Course the most of them were confused about what was coming though Sandayu quickly paled and then started running over a nearby hill.
"Sandayu-san where are you going?" Megumi asked curious and was going to go after him but was stopped by Zabuza who, when he got her attention held his sword in front of him giving them a silent order to prepare for whatever was coming through the tunnel. So, for what seemed like ages they stood there with the film crew still standing there still filming seeing as no one remembered to turn the camera off. Though soon enough the ground started to vibrate making it clear that they were only moments away from seeing exactly what they were going to face.
And of course a large train soon came out of the tunnel. Though instead of stopping by them it speed past them and stopped a couple dozen yards away from them. And before they could question that they heard what sounded like a megaphone being turned on for a second and then a voice was heard.
"Koyuki I know you are out here just surrender peacefully and no harm will come to your group." A man's deep voice called out from somewhere inside of the train. Course after it said that the now team of two came out of the one of the trains compartments and just stood there staring at right at Koyuki making sure they knew exactly where she was. Course instead of Koyuki or one of their group responding they were all surprised to instead hear what sounded like hundreds of marching men coming closer to them. And in fact they were seeing as they soon appeared over the hill, at least a thousand civilians armed with anything they could find. And in front of them was a single man that they all knew; Sandayu.
"We will not let you bastards harm Princess Koyuki-sama! Men Charge!" Sandayu yelled as loud as he could then started running down the hill with his "army" following right behind him doing the same thing. Course due to the fact that the farmers were actually working hard they had a bit more muscle seeing as Sandayu was busy doing technical stuff for the most part while he was with Koyuki so they soon out ran him so much that he was towards the back of the group.
+Control Room of the train+
A large man stood simply watching the civilians charge at the train when a man quickly ran up to him from one of the other train compartments.
"Sir it looks like approximately one thousand fifty eight civilian soldiers are coming at us ready to fight. What should we do?" the man quickly asked the larger man who seemed to be the leader.
"Ha they are just pests. Just fire a few rounds of our kunai launchers at them to shut them up for good." The leader told the man with a sinister smile.
"Sir, Yes sir!" the man called out then after a quick salute ran off to make sure that his order was done. And soon enough several people ran up to large cranks that were on several of the trains compartments. And when they started to turn them the front of those sections soon opened up slowly showing what looked like a bunch of wooden boxes that all seemed to hold something metal inside of them.
"Preparations ready." The men on the cranks quickly told their supervisors who quickly told the main control room over the speaker system.
"Sir all launchers ready." One of the men in the control room quickly told the leader who smiled even more.
"Fire!" he called out and soon enough the men who cranked the wheel originally started turning a smaller wheel that was close to them causing metal part that was inside of the boxes to start moving.
And soon enough it was launching kunai out at the surprised civilian army. And although it only shot four rounds it still left many of the civilians in critical condition.
+Film crew+
The entire crew was completely horrified by what they just saw and even the ninja were surprised.
"Man what a horrible weapon." They all thought shocked. Course due to being so focused on this they failed to notice that Koyuki was taken until she was already several yards away from them. Now of course they tried to get her back but soon several men with handheld kunai launchers stopped them just long enough for her to be placed into the train that soon sped off.
"Damn it!" Zabuza quickly yelled out then turned to his team. "Mai and Megumi stay here with the crew and try to heal as many of these men as you can. Then follow the trail me and Naruto will leave for you as we chase after Koyuki. Understood?" Zabuza asked them getting a nod in return and with that Naruto and him soon left while Megumi ran over trying to use her medical jutsu to heal as many of the soldiers as she could. She was so focused in fact that she didn't even notice the group of Mist Anbu that quickly ran past them.
Though of course Naruto and Zabuza soon noticed them seeing as they caught up with them. "Hmm, why are you guys here?" Zabuza asked them not bothering to sound formal as they ran.
"We are the team Mei-sama sent to help you guys seeing as she knew this would be an extremely dangerous mission." One of them simply told Zabuza then continued running in silence and of course neither Zabuza or Naruto felt like talking anymore either so they simply ran after the train trying to catch up. Course due to the fact that they were Anbu level ninja Naruto was having some trouble keeping up but they still stayed with him seeing as they needed a team to win this and they all knew it.
+On the train+
"Here we are Koyuki you room for the time being. Now, wait here for someone very important wants to talk to you." One of the men on the train told her pushing her into the one room that actually had a wooden look to it instead of cold hard metal. Course there was nothing really to check out in the room seeing as most of the stuff was just pictures and empty containers so she just sat down on one of the tables chairs and put on her normal neutral expression on her face and waited for whoever was in charge to show up. Though it didn't take too long for the large man that seemed to be the leader to actually show up.
For he soon came through the door on the opposite side of the room from where she came in. Course the weird part was that she actually recognized who it was.
"Doto! What are you doing here!?" Koyuki asked him completely shocked.
"Well Koyuki I am here simply because I am in control of this entire operation." Doto told her surprising the normally unemotional girl.
"Wait. So you mean that you are in charge of the group that has been going after me?...Wait does that mean…?" Koyuki asked shocked realizing what that meant.
"Yes Koyuki. Everyone's death in our family. Your father's, Mother's, the attack on the castle, was all because of me." Doto told her looking pleased with himself.
"You…you caused all of this suffering…" Koyuki began completely shocked. "You killed my castle.. You killed my family.. You Monster!" Koyuki yelled at him completely shocked that someone could be that evil.
Coure Doto instead of being offended by this just started laughing.
"How could you!?"
"Simple I needed to for power."
"Huh?"
"You see your fathered found a power source that was supposed to be extremely magnificent. Now he didn't tell us about it until he actually knew a bit about at and told us that it would help the whole country greatly. So, he was about to tell the people and give the power to them. Now that just didn't make sense. So, I…asked to see the key only to see a weirdly shaped crystal. But it didn't matter seeing as after that I soon got all the information I needed about the power and decided to go for it. But when I asked for the key to go and harness the power your foolish dad told me that it would be greedy to try and hold the power back from our people and ignored the rest of my advances on the subject. So, I decided to take it. And that was by employing a few ninja and equipping them with my latest advances in armor to destroy the people stopping me. Leaving it so that only you are left in my way." Doto explained the ended by pointing at Koyuki who was even more confused then before.
"Me, but why would I be stopping yo…" she began but then remember the time when Zabuza and the other ninja asked about her crystal necklace that she got from her father. A necklace that she quickly pulled out and looked at noticing its weird shape. "I have the key don't I?" Koyuki asked already knowing the answer.
"Yes, now hand it over and I promise I won't kill you." Doto told her knowing that she now really only cared about her own survival. Course Koyuki quickly went into her own mind to shocked to speak.
"Wait so he is the bastard that caused all of this? Man, I really want to kick his ass now…but how? I mean he is too strong for me. Man, I guess I will just have to wait for those ninjas to help me. But, for now I will just have to try and act like I don't care…but man I have to admit it seems like they won't be able to beat him anyways. Seeing as he does have that special armor that makes him almost invincible." She thought depressed basically giving up hope. Still she simply hands over her necklace to the smirking Doto.
Course he just looked at the crystal for a few moments and began to frown. And all of a sudden he slammed the crystal down onto the table causing it to shatter into small pieces shocking Koyuki. "Why..d-did you do that I thought you wanted the key!?" she asked him shocked. Course he simply grabbed her by the neck and slammed her onto one of the walls.
"You little brat. Trying to trick me with a fake crystal. Now where is the real one?" Doto asked angrily.
"I don't know what you…mean" Koyuki told him but then remembered the time Zabuza picked up her necklace. Figuring that in that brief moment he must have switched it. "Damn ninja!" She thought annoyed then realized that Doto was still holding her and was getting angrier and angrier. "That ninja Zabuza must have taken it." She tells him quickly. But before he could say anything in response they both felt a huge explosion hit the train.
"Sir we were hit by several explosive seals by the group of ninja following us. Due to damage are train is being slowed down they will most likely catch up to us within two minutes." A voice told them over the intercom. So, Doto quickly swore a few short lines then pushed a button on the side of the wall that disconnected the rest of the train and soon it started to fly off thanks to a balloon that was inflating on the top of it.
And of course the ninja were simply shocked by that. "Oh, come on!" Naruto called out not believing what was happening in just this one mission. Course he still quickly attacked a kunai with some ninja wire to the flying room so that he could try to recover Koyuki from the enemy.
Yea and I decided to end this earlier just because it seemed like a good spot. Oh, and sorry about not posting for a while. You see my computer decided that it wouldn't let me use my account for a while. So, instead I added both of these chapters to make up for it. Though it seems I won't be able to finish this before I have to postpone it seeing as I leave for the spot the Monday after next. Meaning that at most I will probably only finish another chapter. Meanwhile I will clearly need more than that to finish this off with at least a semi- good ending. Anyways Ja Ne.
