So sorry everyone. It seems I forgot to post this one and posted the Sasuke retrieval arch on accident. Well… Here's this one and the next two chapters since they're done… I can't believe I did that!

Reiko, Naruto and Koyuki fled to the elevator. When they got to the highest point it would go they exited.

A cord shot over their heads. A snow shinobi jumped onto the bridge with them. Reiko pulled Koyuki back while Naruto lunged at them. He punched the man a few times before the shinobi held up his hands.

"Hold it! Hold it Naruto! It's me!" The man yelled.

He threw off the disguise. It was Kakashi. Reiko sighed in relief. He tossed Naruto his weapons pouch. To Reiko's surprise he tossed her a water thermos it was similar to the one that she had taken from her by Nandara. She looked up at him surprised, blinking slowly.

"How-?"

"Leo and I still stay in contact even though we aren't on a squad anymore," Kakashi said. Then to Koyuki he said, "It seemed you're alright too, hime."

"Yeah…" Koyuki said. Coldly she then added, "You switched my Hex Crystal, didn't you?"

"I apologize for it," Kakashi said.

He tossed Reiko the real one. She caught it and handed it to Koyuki without a word. Mentally she was questioning Kakashi. She had offered Doto the crystal without any regrets and here they were giving her the real one?

"But I figured this is what he was after," Kakashi said.

"Just for this…?" Koyuki asked herself as she looked at the crystal.

There were men screaming. Reiko pulled a kunai out of her pouch as an automatic reflex. She relaxed when she saw it was just Sakura and Sasuke.

"No good!" Sakura told them, "The place is crawling with guards!"

"Sakura! Sasuke!" Naruto cried, happily.

"This way!" Koyuki ordered.

She ran to the other side of the bridge. Reiko watched her suspiciously. She was the last one to follow Koyuki. 'How does she know the layout of Doto's hideout?'

They ran into a large arena-like throne room. Lights sprang to life as Koyuki stopped running. Doto laughed at the shocked looks on their faces.

"Well done, Koyuki."

"You set us up!" Reiko snarled.

Koyuki ran to Doto's side. Reiko was right behind her. She just managed to get close enough. Nandara, Fubuki and Mizore blocked off Kakashi before the copy ninja could even get close. Reiko was on the stairs by the time Koyuki handed Doto the crystal.

"This really shouldn't surprise you! I am an actress!"

"Exactly. It was all an act put on by Koyuki," Doto said.

"Yes…" She agreed softly. Then louder she screamed, "It was all an act!"

Reiko noticed she pulled out Sandayu's sword. She unsheathed it. Then she plunged it into Doto's stomach. Reiko quickly got to the top of the platform.

"Wha-?"

"I told you, didn't I? I am an actress!" Koyuki snarled.

"You wretched-!"

Doto grabbed Koyuki by the throat. Reiko threw herself at Doto's meaty hands trying to pull him back. She feared if she'd attempt any jutsu he'd merely use Koyuki as a human shield.

"Hime!" Naruto yelled.

"I always knew… Naruto… That if I returned here. I'd die. That's why… At least I wanted to…"

"Don't you do it! Don't you stop fighting!" Naruto ordered.

Reiko punched at Doto. He grabbed her throat as well and started to choke the air out of her too. She gasped and aimed a kick at him. It went wide, barely missing his hip. He chuckled squeezing her throat tighter.

"Naruto, it's all thanks to you, that I could stop running away in the end."

"No! That's just like running away! Don't throw your life away like this!" Naruto screamed.

"I'm sorry otosan, Sandayu, Naruto, Reiko…"

The three of them fell off the platform. Reiko desperately tried to grab the edge but her fingers slipped and she landed on the ground, hard. Koyuki landed on top of her. Both women were gasping for breath and struggling to keep their heads straight.

"Reiko! Koyuki!" Naruto screamed.

He ran to their sides. Fubuki, Mizore, and Nandara didn't try to stop him in the slightest. They merely smirked and watched as Doto got to his feet. He punched Naruto sending the blond sailing backwards.

"You can't kill me with a toy dagger like this!" Doto laughed.

He took off his robe. Underneath was Chakra Armor but it was different than any of the ones Fubuki, Mizore or Nandara wore. It seemed to be a mix of the three. Sandayu's sword fell into the palm of Reiko's hand. Her fingers curled around the blade. She pulled it into the folds of her cloak, embedding it into the rope she had tied around the thermos.

"Yes, this is the newest Chakra Armor!"

Doto grabbed both Reiko and Koyuki. Both of them struggled under his grip. They both started to kick and punch him. Reiko tried to kick the back of his leg but he hit the pressure point on her neck making her body go limp.

"Don't you touch them with those filthy hands of yours!" Naruto screamed.

He got up again, lunging at Doto. Naruto was merely smacked down again. Reiko tried to move but her body wouldn't respond. Her body was numb. She winced when she heard Naruto grunt in pain. The poor blond looked at them helplessly.

"Naruto!" Koyuki screamed.

"So useless! Your chakra has already been completely sealed!" Doto yelled, "Come… Let us go, Koyuki, beyond the rainbow."

"What are you doing with Reiko?" Sasuke demanded.

Doto smirked. Reiko glared at the man but she couldn't lift her head high. Team Seven watched in worry, as the man smirk became a dark smile. Then he laughed mirthlessly at the shinobi before him, as if he thought he could stop them. Reiko scowled. He didn't know who he was dealing with.

"She was a gift from Orochimaru. Unfortunately she's a few days late but a gift worth waiting for like Orochimaru promised."

The ceiling blew up. Doto was pulled up as it came down. Naruto threw a kunai attached to a rope. It looped around Koyuki's wrist. They were in the air when they got outside. Reiko blinked in surprise. They were soaring higher and higher then they started to head towards the setting sun.

She looked up to see that Doto's Chakra Armor had wings. When he noticed Naruto hanging onto the rope he turned around and cut it. Naruto started to fall to the ground. Reiko's eyes widened.

"Naruto!" Reiko and Koyuki screamed.

Reiko forced herself out of Doto's arms. She tried to dive to catch Naruto. Their hands were merely inches apart but when her hand just grasped his Doto grabbed her by her wing and crushed the tip of it in his giant hands. Koyuki paled and looked at her uncle horrified.

She screamed in agony. Naruto pulled his hand back and grabbed a kunai out of her pouch. He whipped his hand back, letting the weapon fly. Doto's armor deflected it. Naruto threw some of his shuriken. Again, Doto's armor deflected it.

Doto punched Naruto in the stomach, sending him crashing into the trees below them. Reiko started to fall. She tried to keep in the air but her broken wing flapped uselessly against the wing. Koyuki grabbed her hand and held it tightly so that she wouldn't hit the ground like Naruto had.

Once Doto touched the ground he threw Reiko and Koyuki away from the like they were something disgusting. Reiko lunged at him. She aimed a kick at his side. He merely ducked and grabbed her ankle.

He spun around quickly and threw her aside again. She hit a boulder of ice. The snow on top of it landed on her. She sprang from the small pile and made the snow attack Doto. His armor deflected it. Reiko snarled and tried even harder.

All her snow did was slow him down. He kept walking towards the snow-covered alter as if he were walking in waist deep snow. She grimaced, hoping Naruto would get there soon. Reiko ran at Doto moving the snow so that it was shaped like kunai. She threw them at Doto.

Nothing she did seemed to stop him. He set the crystal inside its lock. The six stones around them started to glow. Part of the land glowed. Reiko looked around. The glowing land was shaped like a snowflake. At first it was a greenish-blue color but it changed to multicolored, like the rainbow.

Even more determined than before Reiko froze Doto's feet to the ground. He glared at her. She made handsigns as he did.

"Ice Style! Black Dragon Blizzard!"

"Kesshami! Art of the Barrier!"

A black dragon flew out of his hand. Reiko's shield got hit. She grimaced. Her shield was starting to crack under the pressure. Sweat started to form above her brow. Her expression twisted between something of anger and concentration as she tried to keep her shield up.

When it did crack Reiko hit the ground hard. What was left of the dragon hit her. She winced as she felt blood dribbling from her forehead. She gently touched underneath her hairline. She had cracked her head open in her fall.

She reached into her pouch. She pulled out her military ration pills and her chakra slowly started to come back after she swallowed two or three. Reiko knew she'd have just enough energy to be back up on the rest of the mission. There was just no way she had enough in her to take out Doto alone.

Doto moved his feet, shattering the ice Reiko put over them. She glared at him.

"The treasure? Where is the treasure?" Doto demanded.

The ice started to melt. Reiko blinked in surprise. It was getting warmer. Koyuki seemed just as surprised as she was. It seemed that there wasn't a treasure for the Kazahana family after all. It was an invention.

"A heat generator? This is the secret treasure of Kazahana?" Doto asked outraged.

"Koyuki! Reiko!"

Both girls looked up to see Naruto running towards them. Reiko smiled. The camera crew was attempting to keep up with him but he out ran them by a long shot. They had no hopes of even attempting to keep up with his speed.

"Ice Style: Black Dragon Blizzard!"

Another black dragon flew out of his fist. Naruto go hit just as Reiko noticed the camera crew race by them. They were circling the fight. Reiko blinked but shook her head. It seemed that finishing the movie was more important than their lives.

"Naruto!" Koyuki cried as Naruto hit the ground.

The ice around Naruto shattered. Doto smiled. Reiko made the ice grab at Doto. It froze him solid but he broke through it with ease. Shards fell to the ground. Doto brushed the ice aside as if he merely got dirt on his shirt.

"What's the matter? I hardly felt that at all!" Naruto yelled.

Reiko used the snow to get Naruto to his feet. She jumped between Naruto and Doto.

"Naruto! Reiko! That's enough! He's going to kill you!" Koyuki cried.

"Trust me. If you have faith in me, I promise you… I won't lose!" Naruto yelled.

Naruto looked up with one of the most determined looks in his eyes. Reiko turned to see the lock on his stomach glowing red. It shattered. The pieces rained down on the snow. To her surprise the snow melted from the metal.

"No… The chakra is leaking out?"

Doto ran at Reiko. She just barely turned around to see him plow into her. Then he punched Naruto in the face. The ground shattered underneath the pressure of his blow. They both fell beneath the ice into freezing cold water. Reiko floated down for a few seconds. She quickly resurfaced when she lost all the air in her lungs.

The first thing she saw was Sasuke was charging at Doto. He shoves something at Doto's chest. Everything was bathed in purple light. Sparks were flying everywhere making Reiko apprehensive about how safe being in the water was.

"Take that! Chidori!" Sasuke cried.

He thrust a handful of lightening at Doto's chest. The circle in the middle of his armor cracked. Reiko just pulled herself out of the water to see Doto punch Sasuke. The Uchiha boy crashed against a boulder of ice. He crumpled to the ground.

"As if that level of jutsu would be effective on me!"

"Naruto… His armor has been fractured… The rest…" Sasuke murmured. As he fell he said, "Is up to you…"

Reiko made the snow cushion Sasuke's fall. She pulled herself away from the water as it glowed red. Sasuke lay in the snow unconscious.

"Wha-? What is that?" Doto asked.

A thousand Naruto clones popped out of the ice. They all smiled Naruto's fox-like grin.

"It's payback time! With interest!" They all cried.

"You moron! Twin Dragon Blizzard!"

Two dragons appeared. They created a huge tornado, destroying every clone. Reiko clung to the melting ice, hoping to stay on the ground. Her wings closed, painfully. She remembered that one of her wings was broken once again.

When the dragons vanished Doto laughed, "It's over! It's all over!"

"It's not done yet!"

As the smoke cleared Reiko could see Naruto and a clone. There was a glowing ball in one of Naruto's hands. Reiko blinked. It was an icy blue color. Then Reiko smirked. She made handsigns and brought her glowing hand to her wing, healing the broken bones.

"I told you already… It's over when justice prevails and evil is wiped out!" Naruto said, "Every good story has to have a happy ending!"

Reiko's eyes widened. She looked at Naruto in surprise. Then she smirked pulling her wire and started wrapping it around the ends of five kunai knives. She tied the ends tightly and threw all five.

Doto didn't feel the small wires wrapping around his feet or his wrist or even his waist. Reiko nearly laughed.

"Naruto! I believe in you! You're the strongest ninja that I've ever known!" Koyuki yelled.

"Yeah, I know…" One of the Naruto clones said.

"I could've told you that!" The other said.

He ran at Doto. Reiko tightened her hold on the wires. Doto tried to get away from Naruto but Reiko held him firmly in place. Just as the sun hit the giant stones the light reflected making Naruto's sphere change colors. It had to have been the most colorful thing that Reiko had ever seen. As Deidara would put it, Naruto's Rasengan at that point in time was art.

"A rainbow chakra?" Reiko asked, "Just like in the script…"

Doto swung, snapping one of the wires. Reiko grimaced waiting for the impact. Who knew what would happen since she was on the other side of the wires but she decided to risk it. He hit Naruto's clone, which vanished in a puff of smoke. He was left wide open for Naruto's attack.

"Take this! Rasengan!"

When it touched Doto the ice shattered. Reiko's wires snapped. She was sent flying backwards by the wind that didn't hit Doto's frame. Doto screamed loudly as he was thrown back. He hit one of the giant rainbow colored stones. It shattered like glass upon collision.

Reiko hit a boulder, hard. She gasped for breath.

The snow just vanished, no more melting at all. All traces of storm clouds were gone. Reiko looked up. She got to her feet, wincing slightly. Wind blew causing her cloak to flutter in the breeze. Reiko brushed a strand of hair behind her ear as the wind blew, smiling at the clouds.

'Believe in the future. If you do spring is sure to come. Koyuki, what will you do when spring comes?'

They all looked up to see a child-like version of Koyuki. She was standing in front of the stones like they were merely mirrors. Reiko looked at the older Koyuki. She was staring at herself shocked.

'I want to be a hime!' The girl responded.

'Hmm… What sort of hime?' The man's voice asked.

'Hmm… A hime who is kind, strong… And a fighter for justice!'

'That's some dream!'

"Did I… Did I actually say such things?" Koyuki asked.

'But never give up and believe in that dream. And you will become that hime…'

A man joined the transparent child Koyuki. He was smiling as he put the Hex Crystal around her neck. Then he looked up as if he could actually see them. The thought made Reiko shiver.

'You can see her, can't you? There's a beautiful hime standing right there.'

Koyuki's father smiled as if he were looking right at Koyuki, as if he knew ten years ago she would do what she did to get there. Koyuki started to cry. Reiko walked over to her side and offered her a tissue. The older girl just shook her head and watched.

'But I have a bit of a problem… There's something else I want to become.'

'Really? What's that?' Her father asked.

'An actress!''Oh?'

Koyuki and her father laughed. Naruto smirked laying in the grass. Reiko winced when she laughed. She looked at her side. Tenderly she touched her rib cage. She had a few fractured ribs but nothing too serious.

"Oh, yeah. Now that's a happy ending…" Naruto said before passing out.

Reiko walked to his side. She grimaced, trying not to gasp in pain as she knelt down next to Naruto.

Koyuki had become the leader for her village. There was a huge celebration held for her. Because Naruto was seriously hurt and couldn't be moved for a few days they got to stay and see it. Reiko, however, healed herself and only had to spend a few hours in the hospital, due to Koyuki's pleading.

"That generator wasn't fully developed," Koyuki told them.

"It'll be back to winter soon?" Sakura asked.

"No… If we use that and continue research, the Land of Snow will soon be called the Land of Spring."

"But it's a shame, isn't it?" Sakura asked, "You're such a hit, and your going to be retiring from acting."

"Who said anything about retiring?" Koyuki asked, "I can be both the leader of the Land of Snow and an actress! If I give up now, that would be foolish!"

Reiko looked at the book in Koyuki's hand. It was a script for an Icha Icha Paradise movie. Kakashi's eye got wide. She sighed as Kakashi started to stutter worse than Hinata had ever stuttered before. She wondered how he could look so cool but one mention of Icha Icha Paradise and he was a blathering idiot.

"T-That script-!"

"I'll be seeing you!" Koyuki said as she ran off.

People begged her to sign autographs. This time she agreed with a smile. Reiko smiled at how much she had changed since they first met. Now she was someone to look up to and admire. She was worthy of all praise that they were giving her.

Reiko looked up at the team. To her surprise everyone including Sasuke was smiling. As close to a smile she had ever seen from him was a smirk. But there it was, as plan as day. A smile was on the lips of Uchiha Sasuke.

"Th-That script-! S-She's p-perfect!" Kakashi stammered.

Reiko leaned over to Sasuke. Still smiling the boy leaned over to hear what she wanted to say. Sakura was too busy watching Koyuki to notice their short exchange.

"I think he's in shock," She told Sasuke, "Maybe we should slap him… You know, to wake him up…"

He shook his head but he still smiled. Reiko laughed as she watched Kakashi babble on about how he was going to get tickets to see it once it came to theaters. She was rather glad that Leo never found interest in the books or if he did he wasn't as obsessed with them as Kakashi was.

Suddenly Naruto screamed, "I should've gotten her autograph too!"

"Don't worry," Sasuke said, "I took care of it."

"Huh?" The group, minus Reiko, chorused.

Sasuke held up a small envelope. Stars and rainbows decorated it. Reiko nearly scoffed at the choice of envelopes but she then decided that wasn't something Sasuke had control over so she let it go. He handed it to Naruto. Immediately the blond opened it.

He blushed dark when he saw the picture. Reiko and Sakura looked over his shoulder. She laughed. It was a picture of Naruto in the hospital. He was out cold and wrapped up. Koyuki was kissing his cheek. She also left him a note.

"Oh man! Look at me! Couldn't you have at least used a better picture of me?" Naruto groaned.

'To Uzumaki Naruto

Don't give up until you become Hokage!

Love, Fujikaze Yukie'

"Oh and she wanted you to have one too Reiko."

"Huh?"

Sasuke handed Reiko a second envelope. She opened it up curious. It was a picture of her and Koyuki right after the snow melted at last. Reiko's cloak was blown back and she was pushing her hair behind her ear. She and Koyuki were, looking at the sky, smiling.

Naruto groaned, "Your picture was better than mine!"

'To a girl wise beyond her years

Thanks for helping me get my priorities straight.

Sincerely Kazahana Koyuki.'

Reiko smiled. She looked up to see Koyuki smiling back at them. Reiko walked over to her. She bowed and held up Sandayu's sword.

"I couldn't find the case but I think he would've wanted you to have this."

Koyuki took the sword, teary eyed and nodded.

Finally I'm done with this movie! Seriously I loved the movie but I'm too eager for the newest one. I still can't believe I missed it when it showed! My friend was bragging to me that she saw it before I did. Oh, well… I went to Youtube.

Nothings' better than seeing Gaara, Kankuro and Shikamaru all in one movie! Maybe Gaara and Neji but I'm not upset.
