(Welcome to my next chapter guys. Been awhile but I had other stuff to do. Enjoy.)

The morning after Naruto and the girls partook in their first sevensome, Kushina had just finished breakfast and was waiting for the others to show up. Soon Sai and Kin came down while Yusuke and Mito were in their little high chairs,"Morning mom." Kin and Sai greeted her

"Morning you two. Did you see Naruto and the girls at all?" Kushina asked.

"Not since last night." Kin said as she and her brother started eating.

It had been fifteen minutes with no sign of Naruto or the girls Kushina decided, "They must've been up late last night. Oh well I'll take it to them." Kushina said placing the food on trays followed by a cart and headed for their rooms. She first checked the girls rooms, but to her surprise didn't find any of them there, so she then went into Naruto's room, and upon opening the door was shocked to see her first born child and his six future brides in the same bed in their birthday suits.

She saw something on the nightstand and she picked it up seeing it was the schedule Sam mapped out for the seven of them. She gasped upon seeing all the daily plans listed on it. She gently set it back to where it was and sat all the food trays up by the bed and slipped out of the room quietly. When Kushina was outside she beamed in pride seeing that if they're already this far in their relationship then she'll become a grandmother for sure. She also felt glad that the rooms were soundproof outside so they didn't hear her beaming,"My son is so lucky. I haven't had action with Connor since our wedding night," She said to herself as she crossed her legs, "Oh the idea of my son having this kind of action every week's making me wet. Too bad Connor's out on patrol. Well when he comes back he and I are going to have to catch up." She giggled.

Later on after Naruto and the girls woke up seeing their breakfast before them made them gawk that Kushina came in, but they had hoped she didn't look at them directly, but didn't worry about that as they ate, "Last night was ultimately intense," Naruto began, "Especially the finale."

Ino smiled, "I know. Smothering you like that was enjoyable." The girls giggled.

"So what should we do today if we're not out on a mission?" Sam asked.

"I say we join Kurama, so we can see exactly what he does while hunting." Naruto suggested.

"I'm down with that." Alex agreed.

"Me too." Hinata added.

"All right then, after we eat we'll meet up with Connor." Sakura said. So they ate their breakfast and after they cleared their plates the robot butlers took their plates to get them cleaned. The seven of them got dressed and headed off to find Connor in the Forest of Death.

Meanwhile at the training ground where squad seven usually met, Kakashi was standing before Sasuke, and his two new teammates Kin and Sai, "Now then today's Team seven meeting is for you Sasuke to meet your two new teammates."

Sasuke looked at Kin and Sai and already knew who Kin was but said nothing, "Now then both of you tell us about yourselves such as likes, dislikes, hobbies, and future plans starting with you." Kakashi motioned to Kin.

"Well my name is Kin Uzumaki originally Kin Tsuchi, until I was adopted into the Uzumaki family. I like my new family, my siblings, my friends, and my boyfriend…" she thought of Dean from WOOHP, "My dislikes include those from Oto and especially its leader. My hobbies include modeling, training, and just hanging out. As for the future, if anything my dream's to start my own family."

Kakashi thought, 'Hmm, it seems she's finally renounced all ties she had with Orochimaru. This is good for not only her but for us as well.' He turned to Sai, "And you?"

"My name is Sai Uzumaki, I like drawing, painting, art by my favorite animator, and my new family. I dislike anyone who looks down on my artwork, people who use others like puppets, and the Root Anbu faction. My hobbies include drawing and painting people, creatures, scenery, and just made up characters. My dream for the future is to be a great animator like my idol Walt Disney."

'Looks like he truly was cured by WOOHP and has reclaimed all his emotions,' Kakashi thought, "All right Sasuke why don't you tell them about yourself?"

Sasuke looked to them and spoke, "My name's Sasuke Uchiha, my likes include my two friends Naruto and Sakura, my mother, and my girl Trish. I have several dislikes, and my hobbies include training and getting back on track with life in general. My dream's an ambition. I'm going to restore my clan and defeat Itachi Uchiha." He said but had less hostility and rage than he said when Kakashi first asked him months ago.

'Well at least he's more calmed down about it,' Kakashi thought before speaking up, "Ok then from now on this will be the new squad seven. I trust the three of you will act like teammates and hopefully form bonds like most teams do."

"Hai, sensei." The three ninja replied.

Meanwhile over by a stream in the village was Kurenai standing before Kiba, Shino, and Brittany, "Now then I've called this meeting to introduce our new team member since Hinata has moved onto Chunin. Please dear tell us about yourself." She motioned to Brittany who stood up with Kiba smiling eager to hear her introduce herself.

"Hi my name is Brittany and I'm from America. I've been living at the Inuzuka compound for a few weeks and have grown incredibly close to Kiba," She motioned to Kiba who grinned in pride, "I'm hoping I can become a vital part of this team even though I know I could never replace Hinata, but I'm going to do the best I can."

Kiba smiled, "Way to say, Brit."

"I look forward to having you on our team if you don't mind a few bugs." Shino added.

"Not at all." Brittany replied.

Kurenai smiled at this and thought, 'Even though you're not here Hinata we'll always remember you as part of squad eight.'

Meanwhile over by the villages local barbeque hut Asuma, Shikamaru, and Chouji were meeting and welcoming Trish, "So as you can see now that Ino has officially moved onto Chunin and has formed a new squad with Naruto and the others we will now have our newest member join us. This is Trish Uchiha."

"It's nice to meet you all, let's get along well." Trish bowed her head.

"If she turns out to be worse than Ino I'm gonna puke." Shikamaru sighed to Chouji.

"Oh come on Shikamaru, it won't be that bad." Chouji said as he ate some meat.

"Yeah, how do you figure?" Shikamaru asked.

"Call it intuition."

"Great intuition." Shikamaru yawned.

Later that day, Naruto and the girls found Connor out in the forest hunting. After an hour the eight of them were hauling their catches back to the lair they started hearing a chant in a singing tone, "You hear that?" Kurama asked.

"Probably just the birds." Naruto replied.

"I'm not sure…" Kurama said to himself, 'It can't be, he's asleep.' He thought before shrugging it off as they continued.

As they continued on they were almost out of the forest until they heard it again, "Ok I have to know!" Kurama said dropping his catches as he went to find the source.

"Connor!" Sam called as they hurried after him.

When the found Kurama he stood in surprise as he was facing a dancing baboon carrying a stick like staff that had empty coconuts and berries, "Ha-Harry?" Connor asked.

The baboon stopped and turned to see him and the group, "Connor, is that you?" he cried.

"It is," Connor nodded and the two laughed in joy as they rushed to another, but just before it looked like they were going to hug the baboon known as Harry whacked Connor on the head with his walking stick, "Ow, Harry what was that for?" Connor rubbed a bump on his head.

"You baka letting yourself get manipulated by a single man?! I trained you better than that!" Harry lectured him.

"Yes sir." Connor said while wincing.

"Cutie!" Alex cheered as she hugged the baboon cuddling with him making the animal blush.

"I still got my charm."

"Uh am I missing something here?" Clover asked perplexed.

"I think we all are." Naruto replied.

"Connor, who is this?" Sakura asked.

"Oh sorry for no introduction, this is Harry the guardian of nature." Connor introduced him.

"Guardian of Nature?" they asked.

"The very same children." Harry answered.

"Master let me introduce you to my friends first is my vessel and partner Naruto Uzumaki."

"Ah the same boy who helped protect Konoha from the invasion of Orochimaru, we finally meet." He shook Naruto's hand.

"And Hinata, Sakura, Clover, Sam, Ino, and Alex."

The girls waved as Harry shook their hands, "Charmed and delighted dear ladies."

"So you mind telling us exactly how you two know each other?" Sam asked.

"Well you see little lady, I was once the sensei to Connor or Kurama if you prefer. I taught him everything I knew. However the tale as to how we met dates back millennia ago. Any of you familiar with the story of the Rikudou Sennin?"

"Rikudou Sennin, who's that?" Alex asked.

"Well Alex, the Rikudou Sennin was once regarded as the God of the Shinobi world and the founder of Ninjutsu. He was mostly famous for his achievement of defeating the ten tailed demon by sealing its power into him along with sealing its body into a gigantic stone prison he created in the sky, a prison that we know to this day as the moon." He explained and the group looked to the sky and wondered if it was true.

"Wait a minute, you mean a legendary ninja created the moon just to house a demon, that just… The scientists back home would laugh at such a legend." Sam said.

"Maybe, but here that is the legend," Harry continued, "Anyway the Sage knew the power of the ten tails would break free from the seal on himself, so before he died he separated the beasts' power into nine parts which you all know as the nine tailed beasts of the ninja land."

"Wait a minute Connor, you, Shukaku, Matabai, and Gyuuuki were once part of the same creature?" Sakura asked in shock while Naruto was just as surprised.

"Yes, though we were once the same being its mind was separated into me and my brethren." he explained.

"Anyway when Connor as Kyubi at the time was created, ended up in one of my previous forest homes in the ninja land and was a teen in fox years. He went on a rampage having been out of control from being separated. With a little help of my force of nature and my staff I managed to calm him down and took him under my wing teaching him everything about nature, the world, everything. Although learning under me was not enough to help his young mind. So by request of the watchers I sent him to be raised by a human family after teaching him the ability to change to human form. So it was then he was raised by a royal family in Scotland, they were the McKnights. I chose this particular family because the wife of Gerald McKnight was incapable of having children, and she longed to be a mother."

"This was back in the year of 1492." Connor added making the teens gasp.

"Practically five hundred years ago, you were all around even back then?" Naruto asked.

"I'm an immortal demon, and Harry's the guardian of nature." Connor reminded him.

"So what then?" Hinata asked.

"After I was raised enough by the McKnight's I went back to Harry still eager to learn and start a home in what would be known as the Land of Fire where I would become its guardian," Connor explained, "One day during a battle between some ninja it took a toll on Harry so hard he had to nap it off... For thirty years he said."

"Thirty years?" the guys gasped.

"When you've lived as long as I have, even guardians need their rest." Harry explained.

"With him asleep at the time I was led under the influence of another to attack Konoha at the time, and you know the rest."

"I feel much regret not being there for Connor when he needed me the most." Harry said in guilt.

"What happened is in the past master, and not all bad things came out of it," Connor explained, "Look at me now. I've got a loyal partner, friends, even a wife, and family."

"You don't say?" Harry asked, "I may have to meet this family of yours."

"Of course master, but right now we have to get back home. Will you still be here?"

"Of course my pupil. I shall always be here for you and your friends." Harry replied as the old student and sensei shared a hug between old friends.

Later that day as the guys were loading all their catches at the lair, Connor went to look for Kushina until he decided to look in their bedroom. "Kushina you in… here?" he asked as he looked into the room seeing his wife under the covers of their king sized bed, and judging from the outline of her bod under the covers he could tell she wasn't wearing anything.

"Welcome home, Connor. I've been waiting for you." Kushina said with a seductive wink.

"What's the occasion?" Connor asked.

"No occasion, just a little reconcile of our love, after all we haven't had any down time since our honeymoon."

"True." Connor admitted.

"So how about it, ready for some fun?" Kushina smirked.

"Honey I'm all over it." Connor replied as he got undressed as well and climbed onto the bed cuddling with his wife.

Kushina smiled as she dropped the covers down exposing her naked bod from the waist up and Connor felt hypnotized by her breasts.

"Like what you seem Connor?" Kushina asked with a grin.

"I do." Connor replied.

"Then let me satisfy your need." Kushina said pulling his face into her assets so he could enjoy their softness, which he did enjoy very much.

"This is nice Kushina." Connor said with his mouth not muffled.

Kushina then pulled his head out for him to take in air before she held up her left breast to him, "Wanna suck on them now?"

"Really?" Connor asked.

"Of course, Mito and Yusuke aren't the only ones allowed to you know?"

Connor taking advantage started sucking on his wife's breast and thought, 'Kushina's got some good milk in these beauties I can see why the twins love it so much.'

Kushina moaned in delight as Connor was sucking on her breast and she wrapped her arms around his head pulling him closer. "Oh Connor that's it, oh I love it!"

After drinking up Connor looked into Kushina's eyes and the two started French kissing, and Kushina wrapped her legs around him pressing their bodies together turning them both on, along with Connor going inside of Kushina further than he did before.

As Connor was feeling Kushina up he was thrusting in and out as she held in the groans through their kissing but she could already feel his fluid pouring into her.

Soon he took it out and Kushina pillowed it between her breasts and started giving him a tit-fuck, and he enjoyed the softness of her assets pillowing his manhood, and the force she was using while rubbing it. Soon he released on her face and she licked it up, and they continued going for a few more rounds until they were spent.

Later that day as Naruto and the girls were having lunchm Yugao showed up, "Naruto, girls Tsunade-sama requests your presence immediately."

"Right Neko," Naruto said as he turned to the girls, "You heard the Anbu girls."

Soon enough Naruto, the girls, and Fido were on their way to Tsunade's office and Naruto opened it, "What's up Doc?" he asked, until they saw Squads 7-10, Jerry, Dean, and Max in the room.

"You guys too?" Sakura asked.

"Surprised us just the same." Sasuke answered.

"So what's going on?" Naruto asked.

"Well first thing it's good to see all of you made it, this A-rank mission requires the aid from all of you. Have any of you ever heard of Fujikaze Yukie?" the Hokage asked which made the girls eyes light up.

"The famous actress who played Princess Fuun?" Sakura gasped.

"That's right," Tsunade replied, "Your mission is to escort her and the film crew to the Land of Snow for a movie they plan on filming there."

"Escorting an actress?" Clover gasped.

"For a movie she's staring in?" Ino gasped as well.

The girls present began letting out fan squeals, while Kurenai couldn't help but giggle at their reactions, and the men felt awkward, "If I have to listen to this I'm bringing ear plugs." Shikamaru told the guys.

"Isn't this kind of much having all of us just to guard one actress?" Sasuke questioned Tsunade.

"Don't be so sure, Sasuke," Kakashi started, "Someone famous like her is most likely to be targeted, and we don't even know by who or by how many."

"Exactly. So I want all of you to pack and head for the Konoha Theater where you'll find Yukie's film crew." She ordered.

"And I am sending Dean on this mission with you for back up." Jerry added.

"Up for another mission together girls?" Dean asked.

"You bet." The spy girls agreed.

Soon the whole group left the room. Tsunade looked to her husband who looked at her puzzled, "Shouldn't we have told Naruto and Kushina about Danzo?"

"I don't want the thought of him still alive affecting Naruto's concentration on the mission." Tsunade explained.

"You're right, but we should tell them when they return home otherwise Naruto will hate us more for not telling him sooner." Max suggested.

"I know." Tsunade agreed.

Suddenly appearing before them was Albus the head watcher, "Albus what's up?" Max asked his former sensei.

"Trouble there is Max, escaped from his cell Clyde has." Albus explained.

"Clyde?" Max gasped in shock.

"Yes, found dissolved dummy in cell guards have." Albus added.

Max started adding it up with Danzo still alive, "Oh no it was him."

"Someone you know?" Tsunade asked.

"Yes Tsunade, Danzo's allied himself with a rogue watcher." Max explained.

Meanwhile at the Konoha theater outside a trailer the whole group was being presented by Director Makino and the actress' assistant Asama Sandayu.

"Arigato for coming, this means so much to us." Sandayu welcomed them.

"No trouble at all, but isn't Yukie supposed to be here with you?" Kakashi asked.

"Well she was, but after the filming she ran off again." Makino said.

"Again?" they group asked.

"This has happened before?" Sai asked.

"Yes, but we always end up finding her anyway." Sandayu explained.

"Well we better find her soon we have a boat ride waiting for us." Shikamaru sighed.

"Don't worry we'll track her," Naruto said as Fido sat ready.

"I need a sample of her scent." Fido said.

"Will this do?" Sandayu asked as he held up a hairbrush with a few strands of hair in it.

"Perfect!" Fido said as he sniffed the brush and the scent was registered into his sense as he sniffed the ground a bit, "Aha!" he called as he followed a trail.

"He's got a trail, come on." Naruto said as they took off following the robo pup.

Soon the trail led them to a bar in the village and Asama and Makino sighed, "We should've known." Sandayu said.

"Well come on." Naruto said as they entered and saw a young woman by the bar sipping sake.

"That's Yukie?" the girls were surprised.

"Yukie, come on our boat ride leaves soon." Makino ordered.

"They can get someone else for my part I pass." The woman answered sounding a little smashed.

"You know this movie can't be done without you!" Makino reminded her.

"Of course, I'm the one that holds it all together." She said in sarcasm.

"But these Konoha ninja have volunteered to protect us while we travel. You should feel very safe." Sandayu assured her.

"We're wasting enough time can we just go?" Naruto asked feeling annoyed.

"I don't care, I'm not going and that's final." Yukie said being stubborn.

"I'll handle this." Kakashi said as he looked at Yukie before revealing his Sharingan to her and upon eye contact with the red eye she fell asleep, "Don't worry she's just knocked out, we better hurry and get to the boat." Kakashi ordered and they did so.

Later on as the ship they were on was sailing through the ocean they were all lounging around looking out at the war for any signs of land or enemies. Naruto who was reading a comic saw Sasuke and Sai approach him, "What up guys?"

"Listen Naruto we need to talk with you." Sasuke said as he noticed the others weren't noticing them.

"About what?" Naruto asked.

"See the thing is we both want to know how to impress girls and how to talk with them." Sasuke explained.

"Sasuke, aren't you seeing Trish?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah but the thing was at the time I looked to her more like a sister, but now my feelings are growing and I see her more than that." Sasuke explained.

"You actually want me to teach you about romance? How do those words taste coming out of your mouth?" Naruto grinned.

"Like vinegar." Sasuke admitted.

Naruto decided to poke some more fun, "Ironic isn't it, Sasuke? You who used to be the babe magnet of the academy that turned down every girl that came to you would be asking me the old dead last for advice on picking up girls."

"Ok don't rub it in." Sasuke scowled.

"Sorry about that. And you, Sai?"

"Well being in Root has made me miss out on what love really is, and I want to be able to connect to the opposite gender like you are able to." The ex-Root Anbu explained.

"Well why not? All right boys, I'll help you out here."

"Really?" they asked.

"Sasuke, you're my best friend, and Sai you're my bro now. What kind of friend or brother would I be if I ignored you guys?"

"Thanks man." Sasuke said as the two pounded it.

Later Sandayu was talking with the group, "Sorry that Yukie's so stubborn about this trip but she has issues with the Land of Snow."

"What sort of issues?" Asuma asked.

"She refuses to talk about it." Sandayu explained.

Suddenly the doors of the ships cabin burst open and the actress looked around in shock, "WHERE ARE WE?"

"So you finally woke up, huh?" Naruto asked.

"I figured it would've been sooner." Dean added.

"Sorry, but we had to do what was necessary." Kakashi told the woman who sighed knowing there's no turning back now.

For the next hour they were watching as Yukie was performing some scenes for her movie on the boat, but the guys felt disturbed that she needed eye drops in order for crying scenes to work, "Can she not feel anything?" Naruto asked in shock.

"Sorry you have to see this," Sandayu began, "Though she lacks in regular emotions as a person, as an actress her emotions know no bound. Even if they are acting emotions."

'Acting emotions.' Sai thought knowing what that means.

Soon it was getting to nightfall and everyone was sleeping in their respective quarters on the ship. Clover however was sneaking into Naruto's quarter wearing her silk nightgown, "Naruto." She whispered and Naruto's eyes opened.

"Clover, what's up?"

"I know this is no place to have intimacy, but since its Monday it's officially our time. However instead of us having intimacy let's try a little something original." She said as she climbed into the bed with him.

"Well there's no harm in this so I'm all for it." Naruto said as he slept beside her as she started cuddling with him while making out.

When morning came one of the film workers called, "Director, we got a problem!"

"What's wrong?" Director Makino asked coming up from the ship seeing a huge glacier blocking their path.

"Sorry, but when we woke up this was blocking our route." one of the workers explained.

"What's blocking our route?" Naruto asked as he, the girls, Dean, Kiba, and Brittany were in their spy suits that had fur collars for the chilly weather, while the others were wearing longer clothes to keep themselves warm.

"We've been blocked off our route by this glacier. We have no way of going around it." The assistant director explained.

"That's a problem," Shino said, "What do you suggest we do?" he asked the three Jonins.

Before they could make a plan Makino shouted, "Well do it here!"

"Huh?" they were confused.

"This is the perfect setting for such a movie. Yes this is the ideal location!" the director beamed, "Everyone prepare to land and get the film equipment ready!"

Soon enough the film crew had everything set up on the icy shore as Yukie and her fellow actors were shooting a scene while Naruto and the other ninjas were waitin,g until they were needed, "Man it's freezing out here." Shikamaru complained.

"That's why it's known as the Land of Snow, Shikamaru." Trish reminded him.

As the film workers were shooting, suddenly the area started shaking and the ninjas got ready as emerging from the snow was a ninja wearing armor, "Welcome to the land of Snow." He greeted them making Kakashi look shocked.

'No way.' He thought.

Then a woman wearing the same kind of armor appeared on a pillar of ice and spoke looking at Yukie, "Welcome Princess Koyuki do you have the hexagonal crystal by any chance?"

Kakashi grew more shocked as he looked at Yukie, "Princess Koyuki?"

Suddenly a third member who was a bit bulky appeared, "Well-well Kakashi Hatake, it's been a long time."

"Everyone on guard!" Kakashi ordered the younger ninja as he, Asuma, and Kurenai got ready.

"Aren't you gonna introduce us to your friends Kakashi?" Asuma asked with a joke.

"You'll get to know them later." Kakashi said as they took positions as the three ninja started fighting.

"They could use our help," Naruto said, "Squad ten back up Asuma sensei, Squad eight back up Kurenai-sensei, Dean you and Kin wait here and protect the people here, the rest of us will help Kakashi-sensei." Naruto said as they split up.

"Fubuki, Mizore, get the princess." The one Kakashi was staring down ordered the other two.

"Hai Nadare!" they replied as they went to try and nab Yukie but Asuma, Kurenai, and their squads blocked them with Asuma and his team going at it with Mizore the bulky one, while Kurenai and her squad fought the woman known as Fubuki.

Nadare the leader appeared before Kakashi, his squad, and the Forest Knights, "Kakashi, it's been ten years as of now. I hope you're not going to run away like last time." he mocked him.

"Roga Nadare." Kakashi frowned beneath his mask as the two ninja went at it in Taijutsu.

To their surprise the three ninjas started using ice Jutsu attacks which shocked the girls and Naruto, "So these ninja must've trained to use ice release on their own." Naruto said to the girls.

"Well let's show them what ice is all about." Clover said as they started hand signs and called out, Hyouton; Icicle shard Jutsu!" they called firing icicle projectiles form their palms at the ninja but were deflected off their armor.

"What they- they bounced off." Alex was confused.

"It's their chakra armor." Kakashi explained.

"Chakra armor?" Sakura asked.

"Yes. This armor increases my chakra and strengthens my techniques," Nadare explained, "It creates a wall of chakra around the body shielding me from attacks and bounces it right back."

"Oh great." Sasuke sighed.

Kakashi looked around seeing Asuma and Kurenai's squads were dealing with the other two, but weren't making a lot of effort since their armor was doing the same thing, while Yukie was being escorted away by Kin and Dean, and the film drew by order of Makino were filming all the action scenes going on, 'We don't stand a chance against here. We need to fall back and come up with a plan.' He thought as he saw Nadare forming hand signs, "Hyouton: One Horned Whale Jutsu!" he called as a giant horned whale made out of ice rose up from the water and dropped onto the glacier splitting it in two.

"Everyone get the crew to safety!" Kakashi ordered the other ninja who hurried off, as Kakashi with his Sharingan eye opened long before performed the same move.

"As always you copied it. You can't beat me with my own Jutsu." Nadare said as he performed his jutsu again.

"Beat you? I actually had other plans." Kakashi explained as his one horned whale attacked Nadare's knocking him in the path of the snow ninja who had to take cover. When they got up everyone was gone, including the ship.

"We have to report back to Lord Doto." Nadare told his two partners as they hurried off.

Meanwhile sometime later as Yukie was resting, the ninjas, and director were talking with Sandayu, "As you can see this was the only way I could get her to return to the Snow Country." Sandayu explained.

"So what's the deal with her, what would those ninja want with her she's just an actress?" Chouji asked, ignoring the glares from the girls who didn't like the idea that he labeled her as just some actress.

"She's not an actress Chouji, she's a real Princess," Kakashi explained, "She's Princess Koyuki Kazahana; heiress to the Snow Country."

This got all the ninjas gawking while Asuma and Kurenai remained neutral of this news, "You mean she doesn't just play a princess, she is one?" Kiba asked.

"Yes."

"Sandayu, are you really her assistant, or are you more than that?" Dean questioned him.

"Well I used to serve at the side of her father Sousetsu Kazahana, back when the Snow country was peaceful and Koyuki and her father lived harmoniously with each other. Until ten years ago Sousetsu's younger brother Doto hired some ninja and revolted against his brother taking hold of the country. He burned the castle to the ground, we thought we lost the princess in the fire."

"But she didn't," Kakashi continued, "I was still part of the Konoha Anbu Black Ops back then and I rescued the princess bringing her to safety. I couldn't take on all them despite my reputation. I had to run away."

"Sensei." Naruto and Sakura gasped.

"No wonder you were so dismal you returned from one of your missions." Asuma said recalling that time years ago.

"When I found Koyuki again, I was overjoyed to see her alive." Sandayu said ready to cry.

"I should've died in that fire." Koyuki said standing in the doorway listening to the conversation.

"Don't say that!" Sandayu ordered, "You being here proves there's still hope you can overthrow your uncle and take back the country as it is rightfully yours!"

"I pass, this land's doomed anyway." She replied uncaring.

"How dare you say such things!" Naruto growled as he slammed his fists down, "You'd throw away countless lives over an incident that happened years ago? That's heartless!"

"Naruto's right, they're your people and this country is yours." Sam added.

"And you're giving up without even trying?" Alex asked.

"Like I said it's doomed anyway." Koyuki answered.

"This is perfect!" Makino shouted breaking the rising tension between the sides, "Using a real princess as the star of a story of a princess saving her own country, it'll be masterpiece. Yes we shall film it!"

"You're still willing to film this movie despite the dangers?" Kurenai asked puzzled.

"Of course, this is the perfect setting or the final chapter!" Makino declared.

"Whatever, I'm going to rest." Koyuki said as she left.

"Koyuki." Sandayu sighed.

Meanwhile back at massive compound far from them, the three ice ninja stood before their master Doto. "So she has returned?"

"Yes master, what's more she has Konoha shinobi protecting her one of them being Kakashi of the Sharingan." Nadare explained.

"Hmph, he may have rescued her once, but this time he won't be there to save her. Prepare yourselves, and bring the Princess to me at all cost."

"Hai!" they nodded before leaving.

As time went by, the group were at the harbor of the land where Naruto and the girls offered to the director a music sequence for the movie by giving them a live performance. Soon everyone was gathered around a makeshift stage, "Hello everyone we're the Spy Seven located in the Snow country here to shine a little light into the hearts of ice." Naruto said as he motioned to Koyuki who turned her head in disinterest.

So they started playing as the girls who at first wouldn't listen, started listening to the lyrics and couldn't help but feel moved by them as if the lyrics were describing her. It made her compelled to the song finished the crowds roared with applause and cheers, while the director was jumping out of his seat with excitement knowing that it will truly bring in the ratings. Koyuki said nothing but stood up and walked away making the group worried hoping it didn't upset her.

Koyuki was then sitting around by the film set as Naruto and Sai approached her, "Look Princess we're sorry if you got offended by our concert." Naruto began but was cut off.

"It's not that," She replied, "I'm just remembering my father always told me there's a light within me that will never die. I thought since the incident I thought they were petty words. But after hearing your concert I'm not sure what to think anymore."

"I know we just met, but trust me we know exactly what you're going through," Sai explained getting her attention, "We've all had our fair share of troubles in our lives, some on a scale like yours."

Naruto began, "I was hated my whole life since childbirth. I never knew why, and no one would ever tell me. I grew up with no friends, no parents, no one at all. I'd spend my whole childhood dodging mobs looking to kill me, and my own home was like a dump. But that didn't change me, instead of taking their words I instead channeled them into determination that one day I would rise up and become someone important. And take a look at me now, I found my mother after so many years, I have six beautiful girls aiming to help me restore my clan, and I have gained newfound respect from anyone I've come across."

Koyuki listened as Sai also spoke, "When I was born I was taken from my family and raised in a foundation of ninja that trains others to suppress their emotions making them into killing machines that feel nothing. I originally thought I never had emotions, but I did, I was just too blind to see it. But thanks to Naruto and his friends they helped me reclaim the emotions I thought I never have. You think you no longer feel any real emotions like sadness or happiness, but you do. Somewhere inside you those emotions still exist if you just looked deep enough."

Koyuki started taking their words to heart signaling they were getting through to her, "Naruto, Sai." Suddenly there were explosions being heard making the three jump, "What's happening?" the princess gasped.

"They're back." Naruto gasped as they raced back to the camp where they were right, the snow ninja three, along with numerous other guards were attacking the site with Kakashi and the others up to their necks in fighting the enemy.

"Sai take Koyuki to safety. I'll help the others!" Naruto ordered.

"Right!" Sai said as he escorted the princess to safety.

Nadare spotted the princess, "There she is, grab her!" he ordered and some of Doto's enforcers rushed to grab her but were blocked by the Konoha ninja.

"Don't let them near the princess!" Kakashi ordered.

As they fought Sai was escorting the princess around the battle but was confronted by a few of the enemy ninja got past the others and surrounded her and managed to subdue Sai with a chop to his neck and they grabbed the princess giving Nadare the signal and they vanished in a Shunshin of snow, "They got Princess Koyuki!" Naruto called.

"No!" Sandayu cried.

Sai who managed to gain consciousness approached, "Don't worry we'll find her." He held out a tracking remote, "I slipped a tracker on her in case she decided to run away or got caught."

Naruto seeing when he got close to her while they were talking to her managed to slip it on her, and was glad he did so. "All right then we better hurry." Kakashi said as Sai led the way while holding the tracker.

Meanwhile at the compound where Doto resided, his henchmen presented before him the princess, "Well dearest Koyuki look how much you've grown."

"Uncle," She frowned at him, "You murdered my father and took over my kingdom what more do you want from me?"

He stepped down, "The crystal you bear around your neck," Nadare grabbed the said crystal and handed it to him, "Yes at long last the treasure of the Kazahana family will be mine as it should've been."

Suddenly explosions were heard as a single guard ran in, "Doto-sam,a the Konoha ninja have invaded the compound!"

"Those fools, they're already too late," Doto said as he grabbed Koyuki, "You all stay here and keep them preoccupied, while my niece and I head for the place beyond the rainbow." He said as mechanical wings spouted form his back tearing his robe revealing to have also been wearing chakra armor more advanced than his minions' version.

Outside the compound, Naruto and the whole group were facing off against guard after guard, "Katon; Fireball Jutsu!" Clover and Sasuke called blowing their fireballs at the guards.

"Ninpo; Mind Derangement Jutsu!' Ino called using her families move and sent her spiritual energy into one guard and used him to attack the others.

"Ino look out!" Naruto called as a guard was about to attack her form behind but he froze seeing Shikamaru caught his shadow.

"Shadow possession a success." The lazy ninja smirked.

"Thanks Shikamaru." Ino said.

"Hey what're old teammates for?" he asked.

"Ya got that right!" Chouji called using his own family technique and bowled some guards over.

Trish was using her own abilities of mind manipulating and made some guards attack each other and used telekinesis to levitate them into the air before dropping them to the ground with a thud, "Yes I should really get out more for this kind of stuff."

Meanwhile squad eight was dealing with their own issues, "Fang over Fang!" Kiba called as he and Akamaru performed their family technique blowing away a group of guards.

Shino was using his insects to eat away at the guards chakra energy while Brittany was using her water Jutsu against some more of them. "Oh yeah this is working together!"

Asuma and Kurenai were facing a group of guards together with Asuma using his chakra knives to deflect the guards bladed weapons, and Kurenai was using her Genjutsu to knock them out, "It'll be a problem if more come." Kurenai told Asuma.

"No problem, I'll just deal with those you miss." He joked making her blush, until Kakashi landed between them and spoke.

"No time for joking you guys. We're on a battlefield."

Back with squad seven and the forest knights, Naruto and the girls were breaking in their Ice Jutsu against the guards. Their attacks composed of firing ice shards and using ice shields to block attacks, "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" the girls called summoning five clones each making a total thirty.

The whole armada of clones charged at the guards delivering blow after blow, until they were knocked out. Kin and Dean were attacking some guards as well delivering blow for blow, until they were back to back, "So Kin, if we get through this, wanna do something afterward?"

"You're asking me this now of all places?" Kin asked in surprise.

"Yeah, so do you?"

"Sure." Kin smiled as they continued fighting with Kin using her earth styled Jutsu to pull the guards legs into the ground making them trapped.

Naruto and Sai were reaching the entrance, until they saw something burst out of the roof and flying off. Naruto glanced and saw it was the princess being carried by who he assumed was her uncle Doto, "The princess!" Naruto called.

"Come on!" Sai called as he was drawing an ink bird for them to ride on. When the bird took off after the tyrant Doto saw them.

"Little brats!" he said before he activated his armor releasing missiles that tried to blow them up.

"Look out!" Naruto called as Sai maneuvered the bird to avoid the missiles but was becoming difficult since more missiles kept coming their way. Then before Sai could steer it away a missile hit the bird reducing it to ink making the two ninjas fall for the ground.

"Naruto, Sai!" Koyuki cried as Doto laughed.

Naruto and Sai managed to grab onto tree branches and swung their way down to the ground, "They're getting away!" Sai called.

"Come on!" Naruto called as they started running after them, but were getting tired, "It's no use we'll never catch them at this rate."

"Then hop on!" a voice called revealing to have been Director Makino, the cameraman, the assistant director, and Sandayu driving a stage sled that had a single film camera set up on it.

"Guys!" Naruto said glad they were here.

"Naruto, let's hurry!" Sai called as the two jumped on and the group went after Doto.

Meanwhile back with the group, they just finished the last of Doto's guards, "That's the last of them." Kiba said tossing one guard into a pile of them.

"Come on we have to hurry and catch up with Naruto and Sai." Kakashi ordered but as they were about to leave an ice pillar blocked them off with Nadare and his partners on top of it.

"No one's going anywhere." Nadare said with a cocky smirk.

The girls of Naruto's group frowned as they slammed their palms on the ground and ice pillars rose them all up towering over the three snow ninjas as they jumped them and went into round two.

Sam and Sakura watched as no matter how hard the others fought their Jutsu couldn't work on them with their armor which gave them an idea, "Guys!" Sakura called as they got closer, "If our attacks keep getting deflected by their armor…"

"Let's turn their armor's power against them." Sam suggested.

"Good idea girls, it just might work." Kakashi said and the others nodded as they went back to the fight.

Teams eight and ten fought Mizore who continued using his armor to deflect their blows, until Brittany threw a metal sphere at him which burst releasing a blinding light confusing his sight.

"I can't see!" he cried until he finally focused seeing he was surrounded by paper bombs, "What the?"

"Bye bye!" Brittany said firing her laser lipstick at one note igniting it along with the others surrounding the enemy which confused him more.

Fubuki was ready to attack them, until Hinata and Clover appeared behind her, "You need to do something about your hair its ugly!" Clover said as the two kunoichi spies delivered a double blow to her sending her hurdling toward Mizore and upon contact with their armors they cross reflected and in the process destroyed them.

Meanwhile Kakashi and Nadare were engaging in their own combat, as Kakashi used his trademark Raikiri for his enemy which managed to crack his armor but was still active, "Even if Ninjutsu or Genjutsu doesn't work on you, ninja always have Taijutsu, but you've relied too heavily on that armor!" Kakashi called as he got behind Nadare and kicked him upward into the air and jumped further up grabbing onto him and dragged him back to the earth where Nadare had a crash landing while Kakashi landed perfectly.

"We got them!" Ino cheered.

"No time for celebration we got to find Naruto and Sai." Shikamaru said as they went in the direction they were headed.

Meanwhile Doto had brought Koyuki to a complex composed of six pillars with something in the center of it all, "So it's still here." Koyuki said as her uncle approached the terminal set up in the center of it seeing a slot in it.

"At long last I'm moments away from achieving my treasure." He said as he took the crystal Koyuki had and inserted it into the terminal.

This caused the whole area to glow and the pillars started glowing with the colors of the aurora borealis. Soon they died down as Doto looked around perplexed, "Well where is it, where is the treasure?"

Suddenly all the ice around the area started melting into water and steam was generating, "It's so warm." Koyuki said feeling the heat.

"A heat generator?!" Doto shouted in fury, "That's the treasure of the Kazahana family?!"

"Yo Princess!" Naruto's voice rung as he and Sai were dropped off by the film crew and the two were running at Doto.

"Naruto, Sai!" Koyuki called as Doto frowned and formed hand signs readying a jutsu.

"Hyouton; Black Dragon Blizzard Jutsu!" he called thrusting his arm forward sending out a black ether-like dragon that roared.

"Sai, heads up!" Naruto called.

"Whoa!" Sai called as they jumped into opposite directions avoiding the impact.

"Nice one now let's get in the game together!" Naruto said summoning a dozen clones that went at it with Doto, while Sai grabbed the Princess and brought her to a safe distance before he joined Naruto.

"Meddling pests!" Doto called using his jutsu again knocking Naruto and Sai back.

"No!" Koyuki cried in horror.

"Now for the pleasure of finishing you." Doto said to the two ninja ready to strike again until he heard chirping sounds and Sasuke dropped in.

"You leave them alone! Chidori!" he thrusted his Jutsu forward at his armor which managed to crack it a bit he was knocked aside by Doto.

"As if that would work on me." Doto mocked the Uchiha, until he heard a collective call.

"Hyouton; Ice pillar prison Jutsu!" Naruto's girls called activating the ice element and threw giant ice pillars down until Doto was contained in a prison of ice spears.

"We got him!" Alex cheered.

"It won't hold for long!" Sakura put in as they saw Doto use his black dragon blizzard jutsu to break out.

"This time you're all gonna die!" he declared.

"You really think so?" Naruto asked.

Doto turned seeing Naruto and Sai back on their feet with Sasuke beside them, "You haven't realized it pal, these kind of movies always get a happy ending!" Naruto said as he formed a Rasengan in his palm, along with Sasuke forming a Chidori once again, and Sai utilizing the water element created a giant solid water fist around his hand and stood ready.

"Ok guy, its go time!" they called rushing forward. The heat reflecting off the six pillars which gave them the aurora glow shined onto Naruto's Rasengan giving it the same glow.

"Take this, the SaiNaruSasu triple finish!" the three called thrusting their combined attacks at Doto causing his armor to shatter and sent him hurdling into one of the pillars looking lifeless form the attack and soon fell off it and onto the ground dead.

The ice shattered off the pillars and in mere seconds all of the snow and ice melted and the ground was covered with fresh green grass, the waters weren't icy, and the rocks were regular stone. The film crew were filming every last minute of it, "Pretty." Hinata said in amaze.

"It sure is." Sam nodded.

"But how?" Sakura asked.

"Believe in the future… And Spring will come," Koyuki explained, "It's what my father told me." She said as tears started filling up her eyes, real tears this time.

Naruto, Sasuke, and Sai looked to each other smiling knowing they did it and did a three way fist pound while chuckling. Suddenly the three felt enveloped into a hug by the Princess, "Arigato so much for everything you done."

Naruto and Sai blushed while Sasuke acted neutral because he had Trish. "Princess!" Sandayu called as he and the directors hurried over.

"Sandayu, it's amazing, the land of Snow has finally experienced spring." Koyuki cried in delight which put a smile on the old mans face seeing his king's daughter finally found happiness back in her life.

Hours later, after all of the guards of Doto were captured and put away for good Koyuki was presented before the citizens of the land announcing that she will now rule over the land as she should have years ago. Later after the inauguration was a party to celebrate her ascension to the throne, but for the completion of the movie that was filmed during the battle, "So you're saying that generator wasn't developed fully?" Sam asked Koyuki.

"Yes."

"Guess it'll be winter again in due time huh?" Ino asked.

"Not necessarily," Koyuki replied, "We're going to continue researching it and find a way to refine it to work full time so that the Land of Snow will one day be known as the Land of Spring."

Dean handed her an X-powder, "If you need assistance, then talk to Jerry at WOOHP. The agents and researchers would be more than willing to help you in your studies."

"Arigato, everyone for all you've done." She smiled.

"It's such a shame though with you ruling now are you really going to retire?" Sakura asked.

"Yeah, it's such a great job." Kiba agreed.

"Who said I was retiring?" she asked making everyone looked confused, "Ruling over the land of Snow and acting, I think I can do both. After all I'd have to be crazy to give up this line of work." She chuckled while holding up a script with the title they could tell wake Icha Icha.

"That script!" Kakashi gasped.

Naruto and the girls gawked seeing that her next movie was going to be a film based off Jiraiya's written works, "You guys are free to join me at the castle, until you can return home. Right now my public awaits. Oh yeah I have something for each of you." She said holding up a box for them containing autographs of her. They each grabbed and autograph with the girls holding it close while the guys smiled except for Shikamaru who yawned about getting one. Soon Koyuki was signing autographs for all the kids.

Kin and Dean meanwhile were sitting by a table enjoying some down time, "See we got to go out after the battle didn't we?" Dean asked.

"Never had a doubt." Kin smiled.

"We should do this more often save for not the battle before." Dean joked.

"I'd love that." Kin replied as the two leaned in and kissed.

Meanwhile Sasuke who was standing by Trish next to a buffet table spoke to her, "Trish?"

"Yes, Sasuke?"

"I was wondering when we get back home you'd like to have dinner sometime, just us?"

Trish looked surprised and smiled happily before embracing him, "I thought you'd never ask.

Sasuke smiled as he hugged her back while Naruto noticed this, "Well done, Sasuke."

Later on when the party ended, the group were at Koyuki's castle waiting for the next boat to arrive. Sai was in the Princess' chamber painting a picture of her in her royal robes, "And voila!" Sai said as Koyuki looked at it.

"Wonderful, you got quite a talent."

"Arigato. It's always been a hobby of mine," Sai replied, "By the way I'm curious do you just do live acting or do you do voice over to?"

"Not really, why?" Koyuki asked curiously.

"Well it's my dream to one day become a successfully animator outside being a ninja. I want to make cartoon characters for shows and movies, and I would like you to do voice over or live action for a movie I will one day write with you as my first Princess character."

"Me, really?" Koyuki asked.

"You are the best there is." Sai replied.

"No denying that." She admitted.

"So how about it Koyuki, will you?" Sai asked hopefully.

"For one of the ninjas that saved my life and taught me that happiness was still a part of me, anything." She smiled as she leaned in and gave the pale ninja a kiss on the cheek followed by Sai pulling her into a kiss on the lips which she didn't struggle to break it, in fact she was enjoying it.

"Wow that felt good." Sai said with a blush.

"I'll say. I may have to invite you over some time." Koyuki said with a smirk.

"I'd love that." Sai smiled as the two kissed once again.

(And that's my chapter guys. Merry Christmas.)
