Chapter 27

Scathach and Revan appeared on a patch of grass next to a road half a mile outside of a city in the Land of Storms, which bordered the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire.

"That was a far more comfortable way to travel than Apparition," Scathach commented while looking around at her surroundings.

"The more I hear about Apparition, the less desire I have to learn such a technique," Revan said walking down the road towards the city with Scathach walking beside him.

"I wouldn't bother to learn how to Apparate, seeing how you have no need of it," Scathach said wishing she possessed such a technique when she was Queen, as it would have made travelling around her country much more comfortable. "So this is the Elemental Nations."

"Yes it is a continent compromised of various nations ruled by Daimyo's, which is another name for a King basically," Revan said.

"After everything I've read about the modern world it's weird to hear about Kings actually ruling since for most countries it's a ceremonial position," Scathach said.

"While that is true for the muggle world, the level of civilisation here socially here is like the middle ages in certain aspects like being ruled by a Daimyo, but with a higher level of technology unlike that time period," Revan explained as a carriage passed them with the driver giving Scathach a lustful look.

"You say they have a high level of technology, but the carriage that just passed us would say differently," Scathach pointed out not noticing or ignoring the look she just received.

"Yes while they still use carriages and boats for transportation, they do have TV, radio and electricity, though it does tend to be only the richer countries that possess such things," Revan said.

Scathach raised an eyebrow. "That seems like an odd contrast. There advanced in one area, but undeveloped in another."

"I personally believe the constant fighting between the shinobi has affected the development of technology in the Elemental Nations," Revan stated.

"Why do you believe that?" Scathach questioned.

"Shinobi when they fighting there pointless wars push for the development of technology that can help them in a fight like the radio, while transports like boats don't need upgrading as shinobi tend to travel on foot due to how fast they can travel," Revan answered.

"I can see where you're coming from, but I do wonder why the Elemental Nations have a higher level of technology than the Wizarding world," Scathach said.

"Magic interferes with technology which is why everything is powered by magic in the Wizarding world, unlike the Elemental Nations who can use electricity as chakra doesn't interfere with technology," Revan said seeing the town appearing in the distance.

"Why is that? Chakra is just another name for magic. So shouldn't it affect any technology it's around," Scathach said confused.

"Wizards draw magic directly from their core while shinobi draw chakra from their coils. The way we draw magic from our body affects technology for some reason. Don't ask me the reason why as I don't know since it isn't something I've bothered to look into," Revan said.

"How fascinating," Scathach commented surprised by how knowledgeable Revan is about this topic. She knew he was smart, but she thought it was only related to the physical part of magic. She never expected him to know so much about the theory as well.

A short time later the two of them entered the city and Scathach was surprised by what it looked like. It reminded her of the pictures she had seen of early twentieth century cities but much cleaner since there wasn't any pollution, and had a Japanese look to it. She looked around enjoying the sights, and couldn't wait to see what the city had to offer her.

"Is there anything you want to see first or would you like to just walk around?" Revan asked.

"Let's walk around for the time being until we see something that grabs our attention," Scathach responded.

Whilst walking around the city Scathach noticed how similar it was to some of the muggle cities Revan had taken her to see, though with a lower level of technology. In fact, she preferred this city to the muggle ones, as she thinks muggles have become too dependent on technology. While on the other hand, the Elemental Nations have the right amount of balance between technology and nature.

So for the rest of the day, Scathach and Revan walked around the city, and after having some dinner at a restaurant Revan went and rented a suite at a hotel for the both of them. The suite was comprised of two bedrooms and a large living area, meaning the two of them got their own bedrooms. Before heading to bed Revan contacted Morgana using the two way mirror, as he knew she would worry about him if he didn't.

Scathach while lying in her bed looked longingly at the wall that separated her room and Revan's. She wished Revan was sleeping in the same room as her. Not for sexual or romantic reasons, but because she didn't like sleeping alone after her time in the Shadow Realm.

Sadly however she knew Revan would never sleep in the same room as her, not with how guarded he was around people. If he was a normal teenager she knew he would have agreed straight away, but then again the reason she is fond of him is because he isn't normal. The next morning Revan and Scathach were having room service for breakfast, and talking about their plans for the day.

"I was thinking we would spend one more day here, and then travel somewhere else," Revan suggested.

"I agree, and I was wondering if you wanted to see a film together since I saw a cinema yesterday and I've never seen a film before," Scathach said wanting to experience something new with someone she knew and liked.

Revan hummed. "Sure I've never visited a cinema before, so it will be the first time for the both of us."

"Excellent I can't wait," Scathach beamed.

When the two of them arrived at the cinema they didn't know which films were good and which ones were bad. As a result, they went with the most popular film which was a Princess Gale film with the main character being played by an actress called Yukie Fujikaze. For their first film it wasn't too bad, a bit corny in some places, but still an enjoyable experience. Several hours later the two of them visited a bar for something to eat.

"I can tell you've enjoyed today," Revan commented as Scathach had been smiling pretty much the entire day.

"I've seen so many new things, and I had great company with me, why wouldn't I enjoy today," Scathach grinned.

"I'm pleased to hear you've enjoyed your time today. Do you have any suggestions on where you want to go next?" Revan inquired while sensing a Jounin level shinobi a few streets away.

Scathach rested her head on her hand. "I overheard some women while walking around talking about the hot springs in the Land of Hot water, and how they were divine. And given that I've never tried a hot spring before, we could try on out if you're interested."

"A bit of a journey to the Land of Hot water, but I don't mind," Revan said having only used a hot spring a few times seeing as he didn't like being naked, and exposed in such a public setting.

"Brilliant, I can't wait to try one," Scathach exclaimed happily.

The door to the bar opened, and two women entered with one holding a pig. The woman holding the pig was a fair skinned woman with a slender build and was wearing a black kimono. On closer inspection, Revan could sense she was high Jounin in strength. The other woman had straight blond hair that reaches her lower back and has a violet diamond shape on her forehead. She was wearing a green haori with a blouse, and trousers underneath. Her blouse revealed plenty of cleavage that attracted a lot of attention from the men in the bar.

"Come on Shizune I'm in need of another drink," the blond woman said slurring her words a bit, indicating she was already drunk.

"Lady Tsunade you've already had enough," Shizune complained.

Revan eyes widened in surprise hearing the name of the world's strongest kunoichi, and one of the Sannin. He used his sensing abilities on Tsunade but he only sensed a civilian levels worth of chakra from her. It could be a coincidence that this woman shares the same name as one of the legendary Sannin, but he wasn't going to let his guard around her on the off chance she was.

Scathach noticed Revan watching the two that had just entered with interest, and unlike the other men in the bar, his eyes weren't full of lust. She was about to ask why those two had grabbed his attention when three drunken men approached their table.

"Hey good looking, why don't you leave this little runt and come and join us for some fun," one of the drunken men said with a perverted smile on his face.

"I know what she can play with of mine that will give me plenty of fun," another drunken man said making them all laugh.

"I'm not interested. Now leave you disgusting pigs," Scathach said coldly as they were ruining her time with Revan.

The leader of the men frowned angrily. "You don't get to talk to me like that you bitch."

"I know what will change her mind," a drunken man said reaching out to grope one of her large breasts, but before he could Scathach grabbed his arm and snapped it. "ARR you bitch."

"That's it your dead you bitch," the leader said drawing a knife.

The second he drew his knife him and his friends were lifted off the ground, and had their arms and legs broken before being thrown out of the bar through the front door, and across the street into an unconscious pile.

"Disgusting peasants," Revan commented sickened they would try and grope Scathach and therefore used telekinesis to punish them.

"Thank you for the help, but I could have handled that myself," Scathach said oddly touched that Revan would stand up for her.

"I know. However my way was faster and easier," Revan said.

"I've never seen a jutsu that could do that before," Tsunade commented sitting down at the bar, and looking at their table which was right next to her.

She had watched the confrontation and knew no jutsu did that. She did wonder how she managed to not notice the two of them earlier as they both had powerful auras around them and while the spear looked normal, her instincts were telling her it was anything but. She guessed the drinking was finally getting to her if she didn't notice them when she entered the bar. Shizune watched the two of them with a wary look on her face as they could be a serious threat.

Revan seeing no harm in answering her said. "It wasn't a jutsu I used on them, it was magic."

"You're a wizard then," Tsunade said surprised. The last magic user she had seen was Lily before she left the village, and she was never capable of something like that. "You're pretty far from home aren't you?"

"I'm currently travelling the world," Revan replied.

"You must be a powerful wizard to have dealt with those men so easily," Shizune said giving him a smile hoping a pretty woman complimenting him will have him reveal more about himself.

"So I've been told," Revan said not falling for her tricks.

Tsunade having no patience for subtle interrogation said bluntly. "I'm Tsunade Senju, and this here is my apprentice Shizune and my pet pig Tonton. Now that we've introduced ourselves who are you?"

'So she really is one of the legendary Sannin,' Revan thought wondering what the chances are of meeting her here of all places. Deciding it wouldn't hurt to reveal his name, and he wanted to know if here being here was a coincidence or she was here because he had Wood Style he said. "I am Lord Revan le Fey Lady Tsunade, and this here is my friend Scathach Lethra."

Revan watched as no flash of recognition appeared in Tsunade's eyes, meaning she didn't know he possessed Wood Style like her grandfather had.

"I'm surprised a wizard and noble at that would be in a place like this," Tsunade said to drunk to remember the stories Lily told her about Merlin and Morgana, and so didn't recognise his last name.

"I'm not like most nobles," Revan stated.

"That's obvious to all," Tsunade said with a chuckle before downing a cup of alcohol.

"And what about you Lady Tsunade, I'm surprised someone as famous like yourself isn't back at the Leaf Village," Revan said wondering if she's on the way back from a mission.

"Why is Lady Tsunade famous Revan?" Scathach questioned.

"Lady Tsunade here is the strongest kunoichi, and greatest medical ninja in the world," Revan answered.

"Those are some impressive titles Lady Tsunade," Scathach said impressed. Tsunade must be a fierce warrior to be recognised as the strongest female in the world. Though for first impressions Tsunade is a bit of a disappointment.

"I see you've heard of me," Tsunade said wondering why a noble from outside the Elemental Nations would have heard of her.

"I make an effort to know about all the famous and important people in the world. As you never know when you might run into one," Revan said.

Tsunade found the explanation believable as most nobles try to find out information about important people so they can use it to their benefit, and to make a good impression if they ever meet them.

"I take it your relaxing from having completed a mission, and are on your way back to your village then," Scathach said as it may explain why a warrior as strong as Tsunade is currently drunk.

Tsunade laughed bitterly. "I haven't been back to the Leaf Village since the end of the Third Great Ninja War."

"You haven't been back to the village in that long," Revan remarked surprised. She didn't look like a rogue ninja always looking over their shoulder for bounty hunters, and he didn't remember her name being in a bingo book listing her as having gone rogue. She was most likely was given permission to roam the world since she was a Sannin.

"It was the greatest decision I ever made leaving that place since all that place ever does is take your loved ones from you," Tsunade said her eyes getting bloodshot from all the alcohol.

"Lady Tsunade you've had enough to drink and you really need to rest," Shizune said not wanting her to reveal such private information to strangers with Tonton squeaking in agreement.

"I'd have to agree with you there Lady Tsunade, as I've lost a friend to the Leaf Village," Revan said angrily with Scathach resting a hand on his shoulder for support.

Tsunade and Shizune recognised the hatred in Revan's eyes as genuine and got ready for a fight in case he's here for revenge against the Leaf.

"How did you lose your friend to the Leaf?" Tsunade asked cautiously.

"My friend was killed by ANBU that were stationed at my school to protect it from Sirius Black," Revan said furiously.

"Does that mean you hate me for being a ninja of the Leaf?" Tsunade asked and the name Sirius Black seemed familiar to her for some reason.

"No you had nothing to do with my friend's death, so I see no reason to hate you seeing as you haven't been part of the village in a long time, and you're not the Hokage," Revan said honestly.

Tauten and Shizune relaxed slightly knowing Revan was telling the truth. Tsunade did wonder why the ANBU killed his friend but decided not to ask and bring up painful feelings.

"It was nice meeting you Lord le Fey, but I'm heading to the nearest casino to win some money," Tsunade said excitedly and slurring her words whilst stumbling out of the bar.

"It was nice meeting you two," Shizune said politely before following after her Mistress.

Once Shizune had left the bar Scathach said disappointedly. "Tsunade was clearly once a great warrior, but has let herself go over the years, and badly at that."

"She clearly lost someone close to her whilst part of the Leaf Village, and that's why she left the village as the memories were too painful for. And to cope with her memories she drinks and gambles which doesn't help in the least, and only creates a downward spiral," Revan said.

He did think how after over a decade of heavy drinking and most likely a lack of training her skills would have rusted a bit. This meant she wasn't as a big of a threat as she used to be. So if he ever had to fight the Leaf in the future if they become more aggressive in their attempts to possess his Wood Style. At least Tsunade wouldn't be as much as a threat as she was in the past.

"Shall we head back to our suite for a few more drinks before bed?" Scathach asked no longer having a desire to stay in this bar.

"That's fine with me," Revan responded.

Scathach and Revan were chatting whilst sitting next to each other on a couch in the suite when Morgana's voice was heard from the two way mirror that was lying on a nearby table.

"Revan can you hear me?" Morgana's voice asked from the mirror.

Revan summoned the mirror to his hand while wondering why she addressed him by his name, and not my son. Whatever the reason for the change it must be important.

"I'm here Morgan," Revan answered looking at the mirror and seeing Morgana's face that had a smile on it from seeing him.

"Good to see you as well Morgan," Scathach greeted leaning into Revan so Morgana could see her as well before Revan gently pushed her back not liking her invading his personal space.

The smile left Morgana's face when she saw Scathach. "How wonderful your there," Morgana said scornfully.

"Is there something you needed Morgan?" Revan asked not wanting to listen to another argument between them.

"Yes, actually a friend of yours is here and would like to speak to you," Morgana stated before her face disappeared, and Ginny's face appeared instead.

"Ginny it's good to see you," Revan said happily.

Ginny blushed upon seeing how handsome Revan had become since the last time she had seen him and only partially succeeding in forcing her blush down.

"It's good to see you as well Revan, and I'm currently at your house because you said I could always visit if things got too stressful at my home," Ginny said wondering who the really attractive woman with him was.

"Of course you can visit any time you want, but as you probably know I won't be back in Britain for a few weeks," Revan said apologetically.

"That's fine, I wouldn't want to disturb your holiday," Ginny said shaking her head. "I just wanted to ask if I can trust Morgan here."

"Ginny there is no one I trust more in the world than Morgan, so you're in safe hands with her," Revan said seriously.

"You must really trust her to say that," Ginny said astonished.

"I do. So there's no reason for you to worry about Morgan. She will take good care of you," Revan said reassuringly.

"That's a relief to hear," Ginny said before gaining a hesitant look on her face. "I did explain to Morgan why I came to visit you, and she offered to let me sleep in your room for a few days if I wanted to. Is that okay with you?" she asked hesitantly as she would be sleeping in his room while he wasn't there.

"If Morgan offered you my bed its fine with me, I trust any decision she makes," Revan said before gaining a gentle look on his face. "Not that I'm unhappy to see you Ginny, but what made you want to come and stay at my place for a few days."

Ginny gained an angry expression on her face. "I got into an argument with my family that became very heated."

"What was the argument was about?" Revan asked presuming it was about her being in Slytherin or her association with him.

"It was a typical morning with the entire family having breakfast with Percy going on about his new job about in the Ministry when he mentioned you had assigned someone called Morgan Faye as your proxy in the Wizengamot. Ron made a comment about how you're going to be an arrogant now that you've got a proxy, and I replied that he's just a jealous prat."

"We then dissolved into an argument and Ron called me a dark witch because I was sorted in Slytherin. But what hurt the most was that might parents didn't even come to my defence. I could see in their eyes they had written me off as a lost cause, simply because I was sorted in a house that wasn't Gryffindor."

"I didn't take that well so I called Ron a murderer, and what do you know Mom comes to his defence immediately saying her precious Ron never planned to kill Sue, and that it was an accident. The fact she spoke so casually about Sue's death and how she defended Ron from my accusation, but never stood up in my defence made me explode."

"I then shouted at them saying how I'm the evil one in their eyes since I'm a Slytherin, but Ron who was going to throw a girl at the Whomping Willow is innocent. I called them out on their hypocrisy which only made the argument worse before I stormed out of the house. I then caught the Knight bus to your house as I figured it would be good to see you, and you could help me calm down and possibly let me stay with you for a few days until things blow over with my family," Ginny explained.

"It must of have been one hell of a vicious fight if you need to wait a few days to see your family again," Revan said whilst his opinion of Ron Weasley dropped even further.

Ginny blushed. "What I just told you was the tame version."

Revan chuckled. "Seeing how you're quite the spitfire when you're angry I can believe that. Anyway, you can stay at my house as long as you want if it's fine with Morgan."

"I see no problem with Ginny staying with me for a few days," Morgana's voice said from behind Ginny.

"Thank you Revan, and I hope you enjoy your holiday," Ginny said appreciatively.

"You're welcome. I just wish I was there to offer you support," Revan said.

"I'll be fine Revan so you don't need to worry about me, and Morgan seems like a cool person so I'll be fine for company," Ginny said waving off his concerns. "Though I am interested in the woman you have next to you."

Scathach leant into Revan again so she could be seen by the mirror. "I'm Scathach Lethra, and I'm Revan's new teacher."

"It's nice to meet you Miss Lethra," Ginny said politely before turning to look at Revan. "What happened to your last teacher?"

"Nothing I'm still learning from my Mistress, but Scathach can offer me the opportunity to learn something new, that I couldn't under my Mistress," Revan answered.

"Revan is just being polite. His Mistress is incapable of teaching him anything so he came to me instead, as he knew I would be a much better teacher for him than that sorry excuse for a witch," Scathach said with a smirk as she couldn't resist insulting Morgana. Revan couldn't see it but he was pretty sure Morgana was angry on the other side of the mirror.

"I see," Ginny said slowly not wanting to get involved with whatever is going on between Revan's teachers. "It was good seeing you again Revan, but I'll let you enjoy your holiday in peace."

"You as well Ginny, and I hope you feel better the next time I see you," Revan said.

"I hope so as well," Ginny said before her face disappeared and Morgana's appeared.

"I'll catch up with you later Revan," Morgana said before her eyes glinted with malice. "Hopefully that old hag won't get you into any trouble." She then cut the connection before Scathach could respond.

"That bitch," Scathach growled furious Morgana got the last word in.

"Scathach do not talk about my Mother like that ever again," Revan said darkly.

"Fine I won't call her a bitch, even if it is the truth," Scathach said muttering the last part.

"I'll see you tomorrow Scathach as I'm heading to bed now," Revan announced.

"See you tomorrow Revan," Scathach said pleasantly before muttering how to get back at Morgana for the old hag comment.

Whilst Revan was walking towards his bedroom he thought about his conversation with Ginny. He knew one day things would explode between Ginny and her family over their treatment of her, but he didn't expect it to happen for a few more years. Hopefully, things calm down while she stays at his house. At least she has Morgan to keep an eye on her. He also didn't have to worry about Ginny finding any dark magical objects, as Morgana would make sure to hide any dark artefacts and materials. Meaning it was perfectly fine for her to sleep in his bed.

The next morning Revan and Scathach checked out of the hotel and spent the morning looking at various tourists attractions before getting some lunch. After they had their lunch they planned to head towards the Land of Hot water for the hot springs they had heard so much about.

In a casino, Tsunade was on a slot machine with Shizune standing next to her holding Tonton when the slot machine rolled the number seven making Tsunade win the game.

"You won Lady Tsunade," Shizune exclaimed surprised while Tsunade did not look happy at that fact.

"We're leaving Shizune," Tsunade stated neutrally whilst collecting her winnings, and walking out of the casino.

"Shouldn't you be happy Lady Tsunade, you finally won," Shizune said confused by Tsunade's actions.

"I only ever win when something bad is going to happen in the future Shizune," Tsunade said sadly before sighing. "I need a drink."

Tsunade then choose the nearest bar and entering it she saw Revan and Scathach sitting at the bar having a meal and chatting away at each other with a smile on their faces. She did wonder what their relationship was. It wasn't lovers as they aren't close enough for that as shown by their body language, but perhaps friends or a mentor like relationship. Either way, she didn't really care even if they were interesting people. At the moment she just wanted a drink.

Tsunade sat down at the bar a few seats away from them and asked. "It was Lord le Fey and Scathach Lethra wasn't it?"

"That's correct Lady Tsunade, and I see you efforts at the casino last night were a success," Revan said seeing the large pile of money Shizune was carrying around in a bag.

"Yes success," Tsunade said dejectedly getting questioning looks from Revan and Scathach since shouldn't she be happy that she won.

Wanting to change the topic Scathach said. "Lady Tsunade if you don't mind me asking what made you choose to become a healer, as not many choose that career path."

This than kick started a conversation about healing which eventually led to Revan and Tsunade sharing what they knew about healing, with Tsunade knowing considerable more about healing than Revan.

"Tsunade you look lovely as ever," a voice said that was clearly perverted, and one Revan without any difficulty recognised.

Revan looked towards the entrance of the bar and saw Jiraiya with a smile that was a cross between fondness, love and perversion directed at Tsunade. Next to Jiraiya was someone he was fine never seeing again the arrogant ninja Naruko. She was wearing the same outfit the last time he had seen though she had gotten taller, and her curves had gotten more developed.

Even though she was fourteen years old nearly fifteen in a few months she was very beautiful. He could see all the boys throwing themselves at her. The only problem with that, however, was the large diagonal scar that went across her face from the left side of her face to the right side. The scar didn't look too bad. In fact, Naruko looked like she had the scar her entire life with how thin the scar looked. Which he knew wasn't the case. She must have received the scar during one of her missions since he had seen her last.

"What are you doing here Jiraiya?" Tsunade asked annoyed.

"Is that any way to talk to an old friend," Jiraiya said pretending to be hurt.

"Revan," Naruko said surprised seeing him and blushing when she saw how handsome he had become. He was the most handsome person she had ever seen in her age group, and possibly older. And upon seeing Revan looking towards her she blushed even more unable to believe someone as handsome as him could exist.

"That is le Fey to you Namikaze," Revan said coldly.

"Wait Revan, in Revan le Fey the demon slayer," Jiraiya said surprised to see him here, and quickly assessing the man that has the legendary Wood Style. He also leered at the beautiful woman next to Revan, but Scathach ignored him as she was used to men leering at her.

"That is Lord le Fey to you Lord Jiraiya, but yes I am the one know as the demon slayer," Revan said.

"Demon slayer," Tsunade said questioningly.

"What are you doing here le Fey? Shouldn't you be back in Britain where everyone is celebrating your victory over Naga?" Naruko asked with a hint of jealousy.

"I'm currently on a vacation Namikaze not that it's any of your business. And what about you Namikaze did a mission go wrong to result in your face becoming even prettier," Revan said mockingly at the end.

Naruko's face became red with rage. "It's none of your business what happened to my face."

"I take it you two know each other," Tsunade commented watching the insults with Jiraiya who was now sitting down next to her with fond remembrance, as it reminds her of her own team before things went to hell with her teammates.

"Much to my displeasure yes I know Namikaze. I don't suppose there's chance Natsumi is with you," Revan said hopefully.

"Sorry, it's just Naruko and me. Natsumi is back at the village," Jiraiya said watching Revan and Naruko interact with interest.

"That's a shame, I was hoping to meet the strongest and the most beautiful of the Namikaze sisters," Revan said sadly knowing his words will piss of Naruko.

"What did you say bastard?" Naruko asked angrily standing in front of him.

"I see you've become deaf and ugly since the last time I saw you. I guess there goes any hope of you ever being you sisters equal. Then again the odds of that ever happening were one in a million," Revan said with false sympathy.

Naruko's vision became red with rage hearing she was inferior to her demon of a sister and went to attack Revan when she felt something pressing against her throat. Looking down she saw Revan had drawn his wand and was pressing the tip of his wand into her throat.

"You try anything like that again and I will kill you Namikaze, even if you're the daughter of the Hokage. I will not let any Leaf shinobi walk over me, after all, I don't want to lose any more friends do I," Revan said coldly.

Naruko took several steps backwards having realised how close she came to dying, while Jiraiya slowly sat back down in his seat as he was prepared to intervene if thing became ugly. Shizune, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Scathach had seen enough warriors in their lifetime to tell Revan was serious about his threat.

'Oh Minato you've certainly made a mess of things,' Jiraiya thought as Minato's actions had created an S-class wizard that now most likely hated the Leaf.

"What is this about Lord le Fey being a demon slayer?" Tsunade inquired to satisfy her curiosity and to move past this awkward atmosphere.

"Lord le Fey here killed an S-class demon in Britain using Wood Style," Jiraiya explained not surprised Tsunade hadn't heard any of this. As most people don't know what happens beyond the Elemental Nations, and Tsunade doesn't keep up with the news while travelling.

"That's impossible only my grandfather possessed Wood Style," Tsunade protested.

"I'm not lying to you Tsunade. Lord le Fey really did defeat a demon using Wood Style. It was all over the news in Britain, and it was confirmed by the Leaf," Jiraiya said seriously.

Tsunade seeing that Jiraiya was telling the truth spun around to face Revan. "Show me you're Wood Style now," Tsunade demanded.

"No, I won't since I don't owe you anything Lady Tsunade. You need to remember I'm not one of your shinobi under your command, and therefore I don't have to follow your orders," Revan said calmly despite the look of rage on Tsunade's face.

"Please forgive Lady Tsunade, she's just stressed from finding out someone has inherited her grandfather's ability," Shizune said apologising on Tsunade's behalf.

"Can you show me you're Wood Style please?" Tsunade asked much more steadily now.

"No," Revan answered while Scathach smirked at Revan's reply.

Jiraiya seeing Tsunade about to explode again and not wanting to make things worse with Revan as there's still hope he could get Revan to join the Leaf or at least help out when needed, decided to intervene.

"The reason I'm here Tsunade is that I hoped you could heal Naruko's face," Jiraiya said.

'If it was Natsumi that was injured I very much doubt you would come all this way to heal her,' Revan thought resentfully.

"Why should I even help the brat? The scar isn't too bad looking, and scars are an unfortunate hazard of our occupation. Having that scar shows the brat encountered a powerful foe and survived. If anything it'll show she's not some snot nosed ninja that will flee at the first sign of trouble," Tsunade said without a shred of sympathy for Naruko before drinking some alcohol.

Revan found Naruko's look of anger and disbelief amusing. He was sure no one in the Leaf Village had treated her so disrespectfully before. His opinion of Tsunade actually rose from the way she was treating the spoiled brat.

"I'm not some snot nosed brat," Naruko said indignantly but Tsunade ignored her.

"How did she get the scar anyway?" Tsunade inquired not caring but slightly curious.

"Naruko and her team ran into Aoi Rokusho, and he was the one that gave Naruko that scar," Jiraiya said grimly.

"I see, him," Tsunade said heatedly.

"Who's Aoi Rokusho?" Scathach asked making Naruko jealous as Scathach had a beautiful body and a wonderful sounding voice.

"You see dear lady," Jiraiya said charmingly as he always had a weakness for gorgeous women. "Aoi Rokusho is an A-rank rogue ninja that stole the Sword of the Thunder God. A sword created by Tobirama Senju himself that is unlike any other in existence."

"You can flirt with her later Jiraiya, now tell me what happened on the mission," Tsunade ordered having no patience for his usual antics.

"Ruin my fun why don't you," Jiraiya grumbled before getting serious. "Aoi attacked Naruko and her team as they were protecting a noble he was hired to kill. He defeated Naruko in a fight, but before he could land a killing blow Kakashi arrived forcing him to flee, as he knew he was no match for Kakashi."

"For a scar, the brat has only gotten recently it's healed pretty well already," Tsunade said suspiciously.

"It was a light cut and the medics back at the village did an excellent job healing the scar. However they couldn't remove the scar completely, so Minato sent me to find you so you could heal Naruko's face, as you're the best medical ninja in the world, and you could succeed where the other medics failed," Jiraiya said only partially lying.

"I see that makes sense," Tsunade said knowing Jiraiya wasn't telling her everything about the brat.

Revan knowing there was more than was being said used his sensing ability on Jiraiya and Naruko. As he expected Jiraiya has mid S-class chakra levels while Naruko had mid Chunin chakra levels. Underneath Naruko's warm chakra he could feel something foul lingering so he focused on that feeling. When he felt what the source of that foul feeling was, he actually jumped in his seat from surprise.

He had never felt something so evil before. The second chakra in Naruko's body was full of malice and hatred for the world. The only way to describe the feeling was pure evil. Naruko must be a jinchuriki as nothing human could generate such evil. That would explain why her eyes turned red that time they were sparing. She was accessing her tailed beast chakra.

Natsumi is the jinchuriki of the nine tailed beast so what tailed beast did Naruko hold then since the Leaf only had one tailed beast or were supposed to anyway. The more he finds out about the Namikaze family the more secrets he discovers they have.

"You okay Revan?" Scathach asked concerned to the reason he suddenly jumped in his seat.

"I'm fine," Revan said offering nothing else. While using Legilimency on Naruko to see if she knew anything about her tailed beast, but sadly she knew nothing. And he didn't want to risk using it on Jiraiya in case he noticed anything.

'What was that about?' Jiraiya asked knowing something had just happened.

"Despite what you told me Jiraiya I'm not going to heal the brat's face. So you might as well leave as I have more important things to do than see you again after all these years," Tsunade said dismissively.

"If the old hag doesn't want to heal me I'm fine with that," Naruko said angering Tsunade at the old hag comment. "After all Revan managed to heal the eye he was once blind in. Meaning he can do the same for my face instead of the old hag."

"Watch your mouth brat before I knock you out," Tsunade warned angrily. "And you must be mistaken. You can't heal an eye as the nerves in them are too sensitive to ever be healed."

"I'll call you an old hag because that's what you are," Naruko said not backing down. "Besides I'm not mistaken le Fey really did heal his eye."

"Hmm if you really do have Wood Style you might be a Senju. And one of the gifts the Senju clan has is regenerative powers, though nothing on the level the brat is talking about. However with you having unlocked Wood Style that might mean you have increased regenerative abilities, which is what allowed you to heal you eye," Tsunade said thoughtfully. If it was true about Revan having Wood Style that meant he was related to her, making them family.

"I'm not a Senju," Revan said adamantly not wanting the Leaf to say he was related to the Senju clan in anyway, so they could force him to join the village.

"If you come back to the Leaf with us we can check to see if you and Tsunade are related. Don't you want to know if you have any family left in the world?" Jiraiya asked seeing this as the perfect opportunity to get Revan to go back to the Leaf with him.

"I already know I'm not related to Lady Tsunade so there's no need for your tests, and if I go back to the Leaf with you I'll never be allowed to leave," Revan said darkly standing up.

"That's not true. All you would have to do is take a few tests to see if your related to the Senju or not, and then you can leave," Jiraiya protested while the others in the bar could tell things were becoming tense.

"I have no interest going to a village run by that bastard of a Hokage," Revan said coldly. "Scathach were leaving."

Revan and Scathach headed for the exit but Jiraiya placed his hand on Revan's shoulder. "If you can help my goddaughter, and bring some peace to my teammate by doing some simple tests, then you're not going anywhere," Jiraiya said seriously while squeezing Revan's shoulder.

"If you want to touch anything with that hand ever again, I suggest you let go right now," Revan said coldly while Scathach held her spear in an attack position.

"Jiraiya," Tsunade warned as she could tell things were about to get messy. Naruko looked a bit hesitant now not liking where this was heading.

"kid I'm a Sannin, there's nothing you could do to me," Jiraiya said arrogantly ignoring Tsunade's warning.

"I see," Revan stated darkly. "Then you will die."

Revan caught Jiraiya off guard with his speed when he punched him in the chest sending him flying through the wall of the bar, and into the street. Jiraiya proving he was a Sannin quickly recovered in time to see Revan above him about to give him a dropkick, making him roll out of the way of the attack.

Revan's dropkick left a huge crater in the middle of the street sending civilians running away in fear. Not wasting any time Revan drew his wand and sent dozens of spells at Jiraiya. Jiraiya didn't know what the spells did but knew it would be a bad idea to get hit by them. So he jumped onto the roof of a nearby building.

"Lord Jiraiya," Shizune said running to help him but was forced to narrowly dodge a spear thrust from Scathach.

"You three aren't going anywhere. Jiraiya wants to force my student to go to the Leaf and become a weapon of the village, and I won't allow my student to suffer such a fate. So if you want to help him, you'll have to deal with me first," Scathach said with the presence of a true warrior Queen.

"Jiraiya might have many faults but he is still my friend, So I'm going to tell you this only once. Step aside," Tsunade said getting into a fighting stance.

"Yeah he might be a pervert but he's still my godfather, there's no way I'm not going to let le Fey hurt him," Naruko said drawing a kunai.

"So you would rather I let my student be forced to become a weapon of your village because you know what will happen to him if he is taken to the Leaf," Scathach said silencing Naruko who knew what Scathach said was the truth, and had nothing to say in response.

"Enough talking, we can settle this once we've won," Tsunade said cursing Jiraiya for escalating the situation.

Shizune jumped forward and shot seven senbon from her mouth that Scathach easily blocked with her spear. Naruko then launched herself at Scathach forcing her to block attacks from Shizune and Naruko at the same time with her spear. Scathach spun around kicking Naruko in the side of the head sending her flying across the bar while she spun around her spear, and aimed it for Shizune's head.

Shizune barely dodged the strike, but the spear did cut her cheek slightly. Scathach swept Shizune's feet from out underneath her with a kick and brought her spear down to stab her in the chest. Instead of stabbing Shizune Scathach was forced to raise her spear to block a punch from Tsunade that sent her flying out of the bar.

"Earth Style: Earth Dragon," Revan said sending a large earth dragon at Jiraiya.

Jiraiya formed one hand sign and created a wall of lighting in front of him that destroyed the earth dragon.

"Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu," Revan said sending a giant fire dragon that filled up the entire street, and then with his wand casted numerous wind spells that increased the potency of the fire dragon.

"Shit this kid is impressive," Jiraiya said before smashing his hands on the ground and creating multiple mud walls.

Revan watched as the fire dragon easily destroyed the mud walls, and went onto destroy the rest of the street. Sensing Jiraiya above him he immediately looked up and saw him in mid-air holding a blue swirling ball of chakra in his hand.

"Take this. Rasengan," Jiraiya shouted aiming for Revan's chest.

Revan brought his wand up and pointed it in Jiraiya's direction creating a magical shield. A battle of wills commenced between Revan and Jiraiya as one poured magic into a shield, and the other tried breaking through it. Revan then brought up his empty hand and sent a wandless and silent Blasting Curse at Jiraiya.

Jiraiya seeing the curse travelling unheeded through the shield dispelled the Rasengan and grew his hair extremely long, and wrapped himself in it. Sadly he wasn't completely successful in defending himself, as he felt his left arm gain some damage from the curse. Revan then sent a Melting Curse at Jiraiya's hair that made contact, forcing Jiraiya to create some distance between them.

"Shit," Jiraiya stated cutting off the melting part of his hair before it could harm him.

In the middle of a ruined street not far from Revan and Jiraiya's fight Scathach was dodging Tsunade's punches and kicks, which were leaving craters in the ground from the strength of the attacks. Naruko seeing Tsunade needed assistance created a hundred Shadow Clones and sent them to attack Scathach.

"You'll have to try harder than that child," Scathach commented easily dispatching the clones while avoiding Tsunade attacks.

"How strong is she?" Naruko asked angrily.

"I'm far too strong for you to deal with child," Scathach answered with a bloodthirsty smile as she was enjoying every second of this fight. She could have easily ended the fight, but she wanted to drag it out so she could have as much fun as possible.

At that moment an explosion was heard and Revan and Jiraiya appeared in the street engaging in a battle of high level taijutsu, that only Tsunade and Scathach could keep up with. Revan threw a roundhouse kick at Jiraiya who blocked the attack and retaliated with a punch and kick that pushes Revan away. Revan attacks again and successfully hits Jiraiya with a kick and punch combination, that he then flows up with a punch to Jiraiya's torso.

Not giving Jiraiya time to recover Revan sends Jiraiya reeling with an attack combination that forces him to retreat to a safe distance next to Tsunade.

"I see things are going well on your end," Jiraiya said sarcastically noticing the destruction in the street.

"Like things are going any better on your end," Tsunade snapped.

"Le Fey's tougher than he looks. If I want any chance of beating him I need to use my sage mode," Jiraiya said seriously really regretting trying to force Revan to join them on the way back to the Leaf.

Shizune having hidden emerged from a nearby alley shot poison mist from her mouth at Scathach. However, Scathach did the last thing anyone expected, she ran through the mist of poisonous gas as poisons don't affect her, and catching Shizune off guard stabbed her through the stomach.

"Shizune," Tsunade screamed horrified, seeing a spear protruding from Shizune's back.

"I was expecting you to put up better fight than that," Scathach said disappointedly.

"I'm going to kill you," Tsunade roared angrily.

"Here you go, you can have your student's body back," Scathach said uncaringly, while throwing Shizune's body at Tsunade.

Tsunade froze when Shizune's body landed in front of her splashing her with some blood. Jiraiya mentally cursed seeing Tsunade's fear of blood acting up at a time like this.

"Tsunade snap out of it Shizune is still alive, but she won't be if you don't heal her," Jiraiya said having noticed Shizune still breathing but barely.

"She's alive," Tsunade said quietly but still in shock.

Jiraiya gritted his teeth knowing he wasn't in a great situation to be facing an S-class opponent. Knowing he couldn't win against Revan and his friend and protect Tsunade at the same time he drew a three bladed kunai from his pocket and threw it at the ground. Except it never made it to the ground as it flew into Revan's outstretched hand who then sealed it away.

"You won't be summoning the Hokage to help you any time soon Jiraiya," Revan said coldly as he knew he would lose if Minato appeared before him.

'Dam it,' Jiraiya thought.

Naruko could tell they were in a tight spot and she knew their odds of winning weren't high so she said. "Is there any chance we can solve this peacefully."

"A peaceful option from you Namikaze, now I've seen everything, and it's funny you talk about peace when it was Jiraiya who started this," Revan said darkly making Jiraiya and Naruko shiver from his tone.

"Your right this is my entire fault. I let my emotions get the better of me. That's why I'm asking we end this right now. We just walk away, and everyone lives," Jiraiya implored.

"I am not blind to the fact that you are only asking for the peaceful option because you know you will lose. If the situation was reversed you would have dragged me to the Leaf to become a weapon," Revan said and Jiraiya and Naruko knew he was right.

"Your right, but if you kill two Sannin Minato will never forgive you, especially for killing his sensei," Jiraiya warned.

"You mean the two Sannin that were attempting to abduct a hero from a country that ended their alliance with the Leaf not long ago because the Leaf kept trying to subvert the Ministry. If this became public knowledge Britain would be in the right, and the Leaf would be in the wrong. Which is something you surely don't need with the Leaf's current reputation," Revan rebuked.

"I say we kill them all to serve as a message to anyone that would try something similar," Scathach said with a bloodthirsty look in her eyes.

Naruko didn't like the feeling of her life being in the hands of someone else and said trying to hide her fear. "Kill me, and my Dad will kill you regardless of any laws."

"Like I care," Scathach said scaring Naruko as she could tell the bloodthirsty woman meant it.

Revan knowing he wasn't ready to make an enemy of the Leaf at the moment, decided to go with the peaceful option.

"Here's the deal Jiraiya, we go our separate ways and you will never bring up this incident between us again, and I won't tell Britain how the Leaf tried to abduct their hero ruining the Leaf's reputation even more. Do we have a deal?" Revan questioned darkly his eyes glowing with power.

"We do," Jiraiya said knowing this was the best he was going to get, and this situation was his fault, to begin with.

"Excellent, and if I hear even a whisper of Leaf shinobi coming for me in revenge, I will ruin the Leaf's reputation," Revan warned.

"Understood," Jiraiya said knowing Minato will choose the best option for the village.

"I'm glad we could reach an accord between us," Revan said even though everyone knew they had no choice, but to agree to his demands.

"Are you sure we can't fight them for a while longer?" Scathach asked eyeing them intently making them tense.

"No Scathach they've learnt their lesson," Revan said walking towards Scathach, but keeping an eye on the Leaf ninja.

"That's a shame I was enjoying the fight," Scathach said unhappily.

"I'm sure there will be plenty of fights you can enjoy in the future," Revan said placing his hand on her shoulder and teleporting the both of them away from this location.

Jiraiya remained tense for a minute before relaxing when he was sure they were gone with Naruko relaxing as well, following Jiraiya's lead.

"How are you coping Tsunade?" Jiraiya asked while she was healing Shizune who was now breathing easier.

"So much blood," Tsunade said still in shock, but still had enough awareness to heal Shizune.

"Come on kid help me carry these two back to the inn," Jiraiya said picking up Shizune gently.

"Yes pervy sensei," Naruko said helping Tsunade walk back to their inn.

Naruko couldn't help but think back to Revan's fight with Jiraiya and notice how powerful Revan had become. While she didn't care either way if Revan became a weapon for the village or not, she did think of all the opportunities it would provide her with to torment her demon of a sister. With how handsome Revan was she wouldn't mind dating Revan and could use that to cause distress for her sister. By pointing out she was dating her friend, and they had no need for her now, so she should go and be alone like a good little demon.

The more she thought about it the more she liked the idea. Who knows perhaps one day that dream would become reality, and it didn't hurt she was attracted to Revan's power and looks. Despite the fact that this entire thing was a total mess, she did learn how strong and attractive Revan was, therefore she didn't mind getting into a fight with Scathach that much. It's not like she was the one that was hurt. In fact, she was already getting some dirty ideas for her dreams tonight involving a naked Revan.

A whimper from Tsunade reminded her she had some company, and she couldn't help but be dissatisfied with Tsunade. Taken down because of some blood splashing on you was extremely disappointing. She was just glad it was Shizune that was injured and not her. It might sound heartless but it was the truth.

"What are we going to tell my Dad when we get back?" Naruko asked as they passed civilians who were coming to look at the destruction from the fight now that things had calmed down.

"I'll take full responsibility for this mess. And the entire thing should be pushed under the rug as like le Fey said, the Leaf can't really afford another scandal right now," Jiraiya said entering their inn.

"So le Fey and his friend will just get with attacking us," Naruko said annoyed wanting him to become the Leaf's weapon so she can cause her sister distress.

"I technically attacked first by trying to force him to return to the Leaf with us, and this is the shinobi world, sometimes it's simpler to just forgive and forget, then make a bigger mess of things," Jiraiya said entering their room. Knowing his desire to help Tsunade recover from her depression by seeing if she had any family left, had caused plenty of trouble for the Leaf.

"So the Leaf and Britain will pretend this never happened then," Naruko said putting Tsunade on her bed.

"Well the Leaf and le Fey, but yes that's right," Jiraiya said tenderly putting Shizune on his bed and checking her condition and was relieved to see she would recover.

"How's Shizune?" Tsunade asked coming out of her shock.

"She'll make a full recovery thanks to your skills," Jiraiya answered.

"That's good to hear," Tsunade said relieved before glaring at Jiraiya. "I nearly lost Shizune today because of your actions Jiraiya. So I want answers. Who is Revan le Fey? And how does he have Wood Style?"

"I don't know much about le Fey, but I'll tell you what I do know," Jiraiya said knowing Tsunade assessment of today was correct, and he owed her answers. Unfortunately he didn't know much about Revan, but hopefully, Tsunade would accept what he did know, and not punch him through a wall for a lack of information.

Revan and Scathach appeared at the base of a mountain in a country that borders the Land of Hot water.

Scathach then turned towards Revan and asked. "So are you going to explain to me who the dirty old man was?"

"The dirty old man as you call him is Jiraiya and is one of the Leaf's strongest shinobi. He was the teacher of the current Hokage who is the strongest shinobi alive. That's why I didn't kill Jiraiya as the Hokage would have hunted me down to the ends of the Earth in revenge, and I am no match for him at the moment. So I let him live to avoid that and to inform the Hokage that I will not bend backwards for the Leaf despite what they may desire," Revan said.

"It's probably for the best you start filling me in on all the important people in the Wizarding and shinobi world, that way I know who we're fighting next time," Scathach said.

"I agree. After all, I know this won't be the last time I fight Leaf ninja. Not with how power hungry, and paranoid they are of people outside their village," Revan said. He could accept not being trusting of people as he was the same, but their paranoia was very annoying to deal with.

Over the next several days it took to reach the Land of Hot water Revan informed Scathach of all the influential and important people in the Wizarding and shinobi world. He even included mercenary organisations like the Akatsuki. That way if she ever encountered them she would recognise who they were by the cloak they were wearing. Revan also told her about his relationship with Natsumi, and how she and her sister don't get along at all. He didn't tell her the reason why, as it was personal to Natsumi.

One night while Scathach was sleeping in one of the tents he had brought with him he visited the Shadow Realm and stored Minato's kunai there in a scroll. He did this because he didn't want to take any chances that Minato could teleport to the kunai even if it was sealed away. And with it being in another dimension he could study it without Minato teleporting to it to stop his efforts.

Hopefully one day he would understand how the Flying Thunder God Jutsu works, and remove the advantage Minato has over his opponents with that technique. There by allowing him to possibly kill Minato if they ever had to fight in the future.

He also dispatched some clones to find Aoi Rokusho for trying to kill Natsumi and to retrieve the Sword of the Thunder God. Seeing as he wouldn't mind having a look at something created by Tobirama Senju himself.

The clones would head to the last location Naruko saw Aoi which he knew thanks to looking through her mind, and then search from there. With any luck, the clones would find Aoi before he left the Elemental Nations, as he didn't fancy coming back just to kill one person.

On the fifth day of their journey, they reached a large town near the sea that had hot springs available for tourists. It turns out some of the hot springs could be rented out by the wealthy, so only they would have access to them.

Not wanting to share the hot spring with peasants Revan rented the hot spring as money was no concern for him. His decision was something Scathach agreed with as she didn't want to experience her first time in a hot spring with strangers. Instead, she would rather it just be the two of them.

"This is lovely," Revan commented relaxing naked in a hot spring that had massive walls to offer complete privacy.

It had been a long time since he had last used a hot spring, and he was enjoying the experience. The door to the hot spring opened making Revan open his eyes, and saw Scathach enter the room wearing only a towel to cover her body that did nothing to hide her plentiful curves.

"Scathach what are you doing here. I thought you were going to use the hot spring later," Revan said surprised and slightly embarrassed while covering his privates with his hands.

"That was the original plan but I didn't want to use the hot springs by myself. Thus I thought I would join you," Scathach said sitting down in the hot spring not too far away from Revan while keeping her towel wrapped around her.

"I should go," Revan said getting out of the water.

"No. Please stay," Scathach said pleadingly reaching across and grabbing his hand.

Revan could see the fear in her eyes and realised she really didn't like being alone. This explained why she's been practically been attached to his hip since their journey began, she's terrified of being by herself at any time.

"I'll stay," Revan said knowing he'll only cause her suffering if he leaves, and why he doesn't care for her that much he is starting to like her. So he sat back down, but not before summoning a towel to cover his privates with.

"Thank you," Scathach said letting go of his hand.

Revan knew he needed to help Scathach get over her fear of being alone, but didn't bring it up right now as he didn't want to make things awkward between them at the moment.

"How are you enjoying your first hot spring?" Revan asked looking at Scathach who was resting her head against a rock and letting out a relaxed moan.

"It's wonderful. I wished I had one of these when I was Queen," Scathach replied.

"If you did you would have spent all your time in the hot spring instead of ruling your people," Revan said teasingly.

"I certainly would have not. I would have used to only relax after a stressful day of ruling," Scathach protested.

"I believe you," Revan said sarcastically.

"Is that sarcasm I detect Revan," Scathach said narrowing her eyes.

"Of course not your highness, I would never think to use sarcasm on you," Revan said smiling.

"Good that's what I thought," Scathach said with a regal nod. The two of them stared at each other for a few seconds before they burst out laughing creating a more relaxed atmosphere.

The two of them enjoyed the hot spring in silence just enjoying each other's company for several minutes before Revan broke the silence.

"Can I ask you a question Scathach?" Revan said.

"Sure go ahead," Scathach answered waving her hand lazily while still managing to look regal.

"I noticed during our fight with the Leaf ninja that you had a bloodthirsty smile on your face. I take it your one of those people that really enjoys fighting?" Revan asked.

"I've always enjoyed fighting as long as I can remember. Unlike when I was fighting you I was sane enough to take pleasure from the fight I was having with the shinobi. That's why I didn't kill them as it had been so long since I had a fight I could enjoy, I wanted to drag it out for as long as possible. Does it bother you that I enjoy fighting so much?" Scathach asked hesitantly not wanting to alienate Revan.

"Not at all, you're a warrior, Queen. It's understandable that you would like fighting. While I don't like fighting, and only enjoy the occasional duel, that doesn't mean I'm going to think less of you for enjoying something that I don't," Revan said as he wasn't a judgemental person, and as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. He doesn't see anything wrong with people having their quirks or likes.

"I'm relieved to hear that," Scathach said joyfully glad that Revan doesn't find her bizarre as she had known some people that were put off by her bloodlust. "Since I answered one of your questions do you mind if I ask one of my own?"

"It's only fair so go ahead," Revan replied.

"Why are you so distrustful of people?" Scathach questioned as she's never seen someone so cautious of people before.

Revan was silent for a moment before answering. "I learnt from a very young age to never trust the face people show the world, as people could be using it to hide their cruel nature. I've met people that look and act kind, yet are a monster underneath their mask. To make sure I'm never taken advantage of by those that are secretly cruel, I never trust people I've only known for a short while. It's only after months of knowing them will I discover if they are trustworthy people, and deserve to be called my friends."

"In the past, someone close to you took advantage of your trust hurting you in the process didn't they," Scathach said softly.

"Something like that yes," Revan said his mind flashing back to the matron and Hanare, and how they both hid the monsters they really were.

"I promise anything you say to me in confidentiality will remain a secret, and I will never betray your trust like others have in your past," Scathach said unwaveringly.

Revan smiled. "I believe you, but I've known you for less than two weeks, and that's not enough time for me to trust you. However, that doesn't mean you won't earn my trust one day."

"I'm your teacher so of course you can trust me, but I'm fine with waiting for the day you do," Scathach said gently.

"I'm glad to hear it as it proves you're trustworthy if you're not immediately demanding my confidence," Revan said happy with the turn of events. "By the way, Scathach do you have any interesting stories from your time as Queen?"

Scathach laughed recalling fond memories. "Oh do I have some stories to tell you. Let me tell you about the time…"

They spent four days at the hot springs as it was a nice relaxing experience for them. Revan was a bit uncomfortable sharing a hot spring with Scathach at first. Given that she was just wearing a towel to cover her beautiful and curvaceous body, which his teenage mind couldn't help but notice. However, over time, he got used to sharing the hot spring with Scathach, as bathing like this with a man wasn't that big of a deal for Scathach. She would never do it with a complete stranger, but with someone, she knew and trusted she saw no problem with it. It's not like she was naked or anything.

The last woman he saw only in a towel tried to seduce him, but he could tell Scathach was nothing like Yugao. She was far too honourable to seduce someone, and with the occasional flashes of the inner turmoil, he would see in her eyes. It was clear she was in no state to pursue anything with anyone anytime soon. After they left the hot spring they headed to a nearby city that was next to the sea to try the fish there. Apparently the freshly caught fish they sold tasted exquisite, so Scathach and Revan decided to try some.

"It was during a Quidditch match that hundreds of Dementors attacked the pitch," Revan said telling Scathach stories from his time at Hogwarts when he sensed about two miles away from them a person being chased by fifteen people. The person running was a civilian as was the group chasing them, except for two people that were Genin level in strength.

"There's someone being chased about two miles from here by a large group of people. I'm going to investigate it," Revan announced.

"Then I'm coming along as well then," Scathach stated not taking no for an answer.

"That's fine with me, just don't get left behind," Revan said before flying in the direction of the group of people, with Scathach running on the ground in the same direction.

Nearing the person that was running away Revan turned invisible and watched as the person wearing a cloak fell to the ground in exhaustion, and the group chasing them caught up with them. With the exception of the two Genin level people that he could tell were shinobi by their body language. The rest were clearly bandits.

"You have nowhere to go now, Princess. I suggest you give up peacefully, as your uncle so desperately wants to see you again," the leader of the bandits said mockingly.

"I am no fool, Doto doesn't care about me. He only wants to kill me to secure his rule in the Land of Snow," a woman's voice said from under the cloak.

'So it's a coup of some kind then,' Revan thought getting ready to leave, as he had no desire to get involved in what could possibly turn out to be a civil war between royal family members.

"You have no choice Princess you're coming with us. But first boys why don't we enjoy this beautiful woman in front of us, seeing how I've never had a Princes before," a bandit said cruelly making the Princess take a few steps back in fear.

'Those pieces of scum are dead,' Revan thought disgusted and mad with rage as he hated nothing more in the world than rapists.

"Now come here and suck my co-" a bandit said before his head was separated from his body spraying blood everywhere.

"What," the leader of the bandits said surprised as his men were cut down before his very eyes. Within ten seconds all of his men were dead leaving him the only survivor. The last thing he ever saw was his men's body's falling to the ground before his neck was snapped in half killing him as well.

"Disgusting filth," Revan said scornfully watching as the leader's body fell to the ground, and no longer invisible

"Who are you?" the Princess asked fearfully wondering if he was going to have his way with her as well.

"I am a traveller that saw what these men were about to do to you and intervened before they could commit such a sickening act. As no one should suffer such a fate," Revan answered as the world was a better place with these men now dead.

The Princess warily watched the man that had saved her, and due to his disgust and anger from what those men had tried to do to her, she didn't think he would do the same to her. That doesn't mean she would trust him though.

"I see you've already dealt with the pursuers then," Scathach said landing next to Revan.

"They were easily taken care of," Revan said apathetically not sparing a single thought for the men he had just killed.

"I can see that," Scathach said not bothered by the blood everywhere.

"Who are you two?" the Princess demanded having enough of them talking casually while surrounded by dead bodies.

"I am Lord le Fey and this is Scathach Lethra," Revan said.

The Princess eyed le Fey and saw he did have the bearing of a noble, but he was certainly not like any noble she had ever seen or met. Scathach, on the other hand, held herself like a warrior and a Queen. From the way, they held themselves she didn't think they had anything to do with Doto.

"Thank you for rescuing me Lord le Fey," the Princess said in an emotionless tone.

"You're welcome, but if you don't mind me asking what is your name?" Revan questioned ignoring her dead tone.

"I am Yukie Fujikaze," Yukie said lowering the hood of her cloak revealing the face of a beautiful woman in her early twenties. She has long black hair with bangs on either side of her face, and violet blue eyes.

"You're the famous actress from the Princess Gale films," Scathach said surprised to meet the main actress of the only film she had ever seen. "What are you doing here?"

Yukie flushed in slight embarrassment. "I was avoiding my escort as I wanted to be alone for a while."

"That really worked out for you didn't it," Revan said dryly making Yukie flush even more in embarrassment.

"I take it you're staying at the nearby city," Scathach said.

"That's right," Yukie said warily still not trusting them.

"Then we're escorting you back to the city," Scathach stated like she was issuing a royal decree.

Revan weighed up the options in his mind, and though he didn't want to protect Yukie. There was no way he was letting her walk back to the city by herself, and possibly be raped by other men looking for her. He could never live with himself if that fate befell her. However, if she died on the way back to the city he wouldn't care in the least, as she meant nothing to him.

"I'm perfectly fine heading back to the city on my own," Yukie protested.

"The men that were following you say otherwise," Scathach said unimpressed. She had seen plenty of nobles in her time that think they don't need any kind of protection while travelling, which always results in them killed by bandits or other types of scum.

"Fine I'll come along with you," Yukie said dejectedly.

"Good then let's move, it's an hour walk back to the nearest city," Scathach ordered making Yukie move quickly due to her commanding presence.

One the way to the city Scathach mainly talked with Yukie about being an actress, as she was very interested in the life of a movie star. Yukie seemed surprised by the topic of the conversation but indulged Scathach with her questions. Revan could tell from Yukie's cold and melancholic tone that she was a very apathetic person. That was something he never expected from an actress such as her.

On the way to the city when he was close enough, he sensed three low ranked Chunin and one mid-level Jounin. The biggest concern from this revelation was that the Jounin was a jinchuriki though he didn't know for which tailed beast. He hoped they didn't run into each other as he had enough of shinobi recently, but he discreetly warned Scathach as it was better to be prepared than be caught off guard.

"Well we're here," Yukie commented upon reaching the city.

"What a view," Scathach said looking out upon the ocean.

"Come on I'll buy you a drink as thanks for escorting me here," Yukie said already heading towards a bar.

"Sure I'm up for a drink," Scathach said following Yukie as she was looking forward to a drink.

Revan took a moment to look at a large boat that was docked not too far away from him, as that's where he could sense the jinchuriki currently was. He hoped this was as close as they ever got to meeting each other. After Scathach had her drink he was leaving the city immediately, as jinchuriki bring nothing but trouble.

Revan heading towards where he sensed Yukie as Scathach was undetectable to him found Yukie knocking back her drinks like she was trying to drown her worries away. While Scathach sat next to her drinking at a modest rate.

"There you are Lord le Fey, I thought you had abandoned us," Yukie said already tipsy from drinking so much.

Revan gave a look towards Scathach that said really. "What she's paying," Scathach said unabashedly as drinks you didn't pay for always tasted much nicer in her opinion.

Revan gave her an unimpressed look before ordering some tea. With his physiology, it was impossible to get drunk which he was grateful for, but that didn't mean he liked the taste of alcohol. He didn't mind a glass of wine every now and then, but he wasn't a drinker like Scathach apparently was.

A few hours later he was bored and ready to leave as he had no desire to deal with a drunken Yukie. He was fortunate it took a lot of alcohol to get Scathach drunk due to her being half demon. Otherwise, he would be dealing with two drunken women right now.

"It's time to leave Scathach," Revan stated standing up while pulling his hood up to cover his face.

"Are you sure you want to leave Yukie in her current state with all these men here giving her lecherous looks?" Scathach asked pointing to the men that were looking at Yukie leeringly, who looked way suddenly when it was pointed out what they were doing.

"Fine we'll take her back to her room," Revan said knowing as soon as they were gone a man would come, and take advantage of her.

"You can carry her seeing as you're a gentleman," Scathach said good-humouredly walking past Revan.

"I should have left you outside the city," Revan said annoyed throwing Yukie over his shoulder so her head was resting against his back.

"I'm flying," Yukie giggled drunkenly.

"Definitely should have left you alone," Revan said with a shake of his head before snapping his head towards the door when three Cloud shinobi entered the bar. They were around fourteen to fifteen years old.

The only male of the group was dark skinned with short spiky hair and dark eyes. He was wearing a Cloud flak jacket and had a thoughtful expression on his face, and was carrying a long sword on his back. He was also sucking on a lollipop.

One woman was dark skinned and has long spiky red hair and amber eyes. She was wearing a long short sleeved dress with fishnet stockings and was flat chested. She like her male teammate also carried a long sword on her back.

The last Cloud ninja was a tall fair skinned woman with a curvaceous figure who had an aloof expression on her face. She has blue eyes and blonde hair in a bob style. She was wearing a very low cut outfit that displayed a lot of her sizeable cleavage, and a short skirt. She carried a tanto on her lower back.

"Yes we've finally found Yukie," the male said relieved. "I was worried she got into an accident that would then cause an international incident with the Cloud Village which would then result in-"

"Shut up Omoi," the red haired woman said angrily punching him on the head. "I don't want to hear any more of your ridiculous theories."

"There's no reason to be so angry Karui, just because you're jealous of Samui's large breasts compared to your non-existent ones," Omoi said rubbing his head.

"What did you say you bastard?" Karui asked angrily and a bit embarrassed.

"Enough," Samui said in a cool voice silencing her teammates.

"Yes Samui," Omoi and Karui said at the same time lowering their heads in apology.

"If you could hand Yukie over to us so we can take her back to our boat, it would be much appreciated," Samui said looking intently at Revan trying to intimate him.

"I'm afraid I'm going to have to refuse your generous offer," Revan said while Scathach got ready for a fight as she remembered their last encounter with ninjas.

"We've been hired to protect Yukie. That means I'm going to have to ask you to hand her over so we can do our jobs," Samui said with her teammates slowly slipping into a fighting stance.

"Le Fey what's going on," Yukie complained wiggling around which knocked Revan's hood of his head and making Samui's eyes widen in surprise.

"Your Lord le Fey the demon slayer," Samui said knowing things had just gotten more complicated. The Raikage didn't fully believe Revan was an S-class wizard thinking it was some kind of ploy between Minato and Britain, before the alliance with the Leaf ended. But Revan was at least A-rank from the result of his fight with Naga. This meant her and her teammates were no match for him if things turned out for the worse.

"I'm surprised you know who I am," Revan remarked using Legilimency to see Samui's memories of her listening to the Raikage and her sensei, as they discussed what the Daily Prophet said about his victory against Naga.

"You mean this frightening guy is the demon slayer from Britain," Omoi said worried, while thinking about how this could lead to the mission failing.

"Yes this is Lord Revan le Fey an S-class wizard, and otherwise known as the demon slayer for killing a demon that was terrorising Britain," Samui said stunning her teammates.

'Shit this isn't good. We're no match for an S-class threat even if he's a wizard,' Karui thought in panic, and it didn't help that Revan had Wood Style making him a serious threat.

"I had no idea you were so strong le Fey," Yukie said while slurring.

"Miss Fujikaze I must ask you that you come back with us to the ship," Samui said knowing fighting was not an option and so used diplomacy.

Yukie wiggled around on Revan's shoulder forcing him to put her on the ground and then pointed her finger at Samui. "That's no way to talk to my saviour. It's because of le Fey here that I wasn't abducted earlier."

"Miss Fujikaze I need you to tell me everything that happened during your earlier abduction attempt," Samui said since such knowledge could be important for the mission. Not knowing Revan was reading her mind to discover if she was truly Yukie's bodyguard which she was.

Yukie opened her mouth but then fell unconscious from drinking so much, but luckily Samui caught her before she hit the ground.

"Lovely," Samui said annoyed passing Yukie to Omoi for him to carry before turning to Revan, and presumably his friend. "Lord le Fey could you please come back with us to our ship where you could explain the abduction attempt on Miss Fujikaze to our sensei. It would greatly benefit our mission if you did so."

"Give me a minute," Revan ordered leaving no room for suggestions before putting up a silencing charm, and turning to Scathach while keeping an eye on the Cloud shinobi out of the corner of his eye. "I'm happy with just leaving right now. What about you?"

"First of all I take it these shinobi were telling the truth about being Yukie's guards," Scathach said causally whilst twirling her spear around, enjoying how tense this made the shinobi.

"They are," Revan confirmed.

"Yukie's in safe hands now, thus I don't need to worry about her anymore, but I am very interested in her apparently being a secret Princess, and if we go with the Cloud shinobi we might find more out about her, and why she's in hiding," Scathach said, since it might be interesting after all.

"You do know this could draw us into conflict with her Uncle who tried to kill her earlier, and I have no desire to get involved in a royal family dispute," Revan said perfectly fine with just walking away.

"He's a noble. There's no way he or any of his men could be a match for the both of us. Hence I don't see the harm in going with the Cloud shinobi, and explaining things to their sensei," Scathach said.

"Very well we'll explain things to their sensei, and then leave," Revan said before dispelling the silencing charm, and turning back to the Cloud ninjas. "My friend and I will come with you to your ship to explain things to your sensei."

"Thank you," Samui said politely as this made things much easier.

"A word of warning before we leave with you, if this is some sort of trap I will kill you all," Revan said deathly seriously making the ninjas shiver slightly in fright. He knew it wasn't a trap as he had read their minds, but he didn't want them to think they could order him around just because he was going to their ship with him. That's why he gave them a threat to remind them how strong he is compared to them.

"Don't worry, all you have to do is explain things to our sensei, and then you can leave," Karui said trying to act casual, but was clearly bothered by the threat.

"Then lead the way," Revan ordered motioning towards the door.

"Certainly Lord le Fey," Samui said respectfully before Karui could make a comment about him ordering them around.

In the back of the bar a man watched as the ninjas, and their companions left the bar. 'Doto will want to hear about this Lord le Fey,' the man thought, leaving the bar to contact Doto about what he just witnessed.

Revan watched as the Cloud ninjas lead them towards the ship where he could still sense the jinchuriki.

'The jinchuriki is their sensei then,' Revan thought wondering what sort of person this jinchuriki is.

"Miss Fujikaze," a tall man said approaching them once they had boarded the ship.

"She fell unconscious from drinking too much director," Omoi said passing the actress over to the director of the Princess Gale films.

"Now that she's here we can set sail," the director said pleased before ordering one of Yukie's assistant to take her to her room.

"We can't set sail just yet director, our companions need to talk to out sensei first," Samui said making the director finally notice the two people standing next to the shinobi, and he couldn't believe he never noticed them before with their powerful presence.

"Who are you two?" the director asked knowing they weren't normal individuals as that much was clear.

"The silver eyed man is Lord Revan of the Most Ancient and Most Revered House of le Fey. He is an S-class wizard and is most commonly known as the demon slayer for killing a demon that was plaguing his country. He was a large contributor to his country ending their alliance with the Leaf Village, and is the only person since Hashirama Senju himself to possess Wood Style," an attractive woman said emerging from below deck getting astonished looks from the crew, and particularly the director.

Revan kept a calm look on his face as Samui's sensei approached them. "You know your facts, Miss..."

"I am Yugito Nii," Yugito said. She has long blonde hair, dark eyes and was wearing red lipstick. She was wearing a shirt sleeved black and purple blouse and black pants.

"A pleasure to meet you, Miss Nii, your students invited us here so we could explain some things to you in person," Revan said wanting to use Legilimency on her, but he wasn't sure what would happen if he used it on a jinchuriki, so he stopped himself.

"Samui, why did you invite Lord le Fey here?" Yugito questioned hoping things hadn't become difficult.

"Lord le Fey stopped an abduction attempt on Miss Fujikaze, so I thought it would be best if he came along with us to explain what happened to you, as it might help us with our mission," Samui answered.

"You stopped my lead actress from being abducted," the director said.

"I did yes," Revan stated.

"That's wonderful to hear, and is it true you really killed a demon in your home country?" the director asked eagerly making Yugito get a sinking feeling in her stomach.

"Yes I killed Naga using Wood Style," Revan responded getting an uncomfortable look from Yugito knowing Wood Style is extremely effective against jinchuriki.

The director had no idea what Wood Style was. He presumed it was sort of shinobi magic, but he was excited by the thought of this man having killed a demon.

"As thanks for rescuing my main star how would you like a role in my film? After all, nothing could make my film better than having an actual demon slayer act as a demon hunter in my film," the director said already imagining what people will say about his film.

"I must protest director," Yugito said not wanting Revan to be a part of this ship's crew, as she didn't want an S-class wizard next to her squad for the entire duration of filming. She could sense Revan's chakra level and it was S-class level, meaning she and her team were no match for him if they ended up fighting.

"I'm the director of the film, not you ninja. I decide who is in my film, and if I want Lord le Fey to be part of my film then he's going to be part of my film, and you won't change my mind," the director said sternly making Yugito sigh in defeat as she had to go along with the client's wishes.

"Will I get a part as well since Revan and I are a package deal?" Scathach asked very interested in the director's proposal.

"Sure," the director said. The beautiful purple haired woman could be the demons slayers partner or something. It's not like having an extremely gorgeous woman in the film would hurt it.

"Come on Revan accept the offer, it'll be fun being actors in a film," Scathach said wanting to be an actress as she has never tried that before.

"Did you forget about our earlier conversation?" Revan asked. Seeing that Doto was still targeting Yukie, though he was surprised by how excited Scathach was at being an actress.

"We can handle anything he throws at us," Scathach said dismissively as she really wanted to be an actress, or in reality she wanted to try new things to take her mind of the time she spent in the Shadow Realm alone and insane.

With how powerful the two of them are, anyone who Doto sent after them would be killed quite easily. However, the thing that was convincing him to accept the director's offer was how Scathach eyes lit up at the offer of being an actress. This is the most excited he has seen Scathach since they had arrived in the Elemental Nations. If being an actress helps Scathach recover, and therefore let him learn rune magic that's what they'll do. Despite how much he didn't want to.

"I accept your offer director," Revan said politely.

"This film is going to be my masterpiece," the director said eagerly shaking Revan's hand in thanks. "Lower the sails were heading for the Land of Snow."

"This will be an interesting experience," Scathach said as she watched the crew run around getting the ship ready to sail with Revan mentally agreeing with her.

Yugito and her team couldn't help but feel apprehensive as they were spending the next few weeks with an S-class wizard that possessed Wood Style making him a serious threat to them, and there was nothing they could do about it.

End Chapter


Scathach has latched onto Revan as he was the first person that was kind to her when she left the Shadow Realm, which is why she is so attached to Revan. On the surface, it may appear Scathach is fully healed, but underneath she has a lot of issues that Revan is trying to heal.

Tsunade has finally been introduced leaving only one Sannin left to go. Her role might have been small, but with her knowing Revan has Wood Style. She will stop at nothing to know how he has her grandfather's power, and if he is related to her. She also carries a grudge against Scathach for almost killing Shizune.

The next chapter will loosely adapt the film Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow though there will be plenty of changes to make it fit into my world, that way you're not reading a repeat of the film. For example, the chakra armour that the snow shinobi wear in the film doesn't exist in my world.
