On top of the trackless drain.

Celestia was sighing in the heat spinning around slashing her swords to cut bandits as she said, "Too hot to do anything flashy!"

Shikamaru just used shadow position to hold back a large number of them , and plus they are destruct by you and Fluttershy in bikinis." He then used shadow needles making the normal shadow strange hands turn into spikes to impale them!

Shino send out a bug swarm right down the throats of a bandit to kill him by suffocation, "No one looks at the flutter melons but me!" he sound enraged

Fluttershy covered her chest and was red as she let out an "Oh my!" While a giant Salamander behind her bit off a bandit's head, " I knew summoning one of my lizards was a good idea in this heat!"

Celestia giggled as while cutting off a guys head as she said, "Don't' be shy flutters you got it so flaunt it! it motives Shino!" She said pointing with a wing to see him having his swarm take on his form and strangle a shinobi for him, "Case in point that he can now make copies of himself out of his hive!"

Soon the bandits were abandoning the place fearing two of the leaf's demons! Not much later as the sun was setting Celestia was hovering arms cross eyes rolling as the prince Michiru want to talk he was a kind man if not a bit stupid. He asked, "So what kind of King does the leaf have?"

Celestia rolled her eyes, "the leaf's leader is an hokage with is decide by private vote not bloodline!" the prince looked confused so she explained, "Short order if your family is large enough to found as a clan or has money you are noble and get one member the current leader of it on council there job is to be advices and if the hokage doesn't pick the next one before dying they decide on possible replacements and decide by how many agree on the possible replacement with the one with the most agrees getting the position! "

the prince held his chin as he said, "A bit complicated but to teach there own I guess but what happens if it's a tie?"

Fluttershy form above said, "They decide on either two tied possible fight winner gets it or ask and if one of the two turns it down it's over right then and there keep in mind it's a shinobi village!" She said before coming into view as she said, "My turn to watch the found!"

Michiru held his chin as he looked to a sigh and said, "A circus My son loves the circus and he hasn't smiled much this whole trip, the only reason I left home on this trip across another land was because I felt like he and I were not spending much time together! Would you mind if we went if only for my son Hikaru to get a smile!"

Fluttershy nodded and said, "We don't mind but I mask ask if you care about your son why aren't you with him right now!"

the prince sighed, "well I offer him to ride with me but he turns it down I honestly think sense me and his mother split he blames me! I mean I don't blame him I mean as a royal he has to live with me and thanks to royal law a royals ex wife can't be in the capital with it's an island nation the whole place is the capital so she's on the man land and I have to go through the process of planning a trip and getting it approved by my father just to take him to see her, I mean we've been gone for months in a big twisted patter!" he said drawing with his finger, "Just so we could be in her home town four times I still love her and don't know why she left me I gave her everything she ever wanted."

Fluttershy held her chin, "you ever stop to think by doing that she felt like you were trying to buy her like an object and not caring about her as a person!"

the crescent moonkingom's prince held his chin as he said, "Could be I'll apologies for that if it works me and her can at least become friends! That way when I am king I can remove my fathers no ex-wives of royals on the island so I can offer her to move back so she can spend more time with our son she may accept to it being at the castle so the kid doesn't have to pick do I go to mommy or daddy's house every day!"

the Pegasus girl smiled as she happily said, "See you learned and got better and it didn't coast you a thing!" the prince held his chin as he said, "True I am paying you as a bodyguard not as an adviser" he seemed stunned and confused, "May be that's why my son loves that bow he got form his mother as she made it herself and there buy is a gift that coast nothing!"

Later on while most were at the circus Shikamaru was on the train talking into the phone with Twilight, gee what the hell is the range on this things! Anyway how does it go studying the magic rock! Over "

Twilight then said, "it hasn't been easy with Akamaru and Spike being the most sickeningly sweet couple ever up in the corner, but I found out that it works similar to sage jutsu! Pulling in chakra form the air, but it doesn't stay chakra it converts to another form of energy or Gelel energy as I have no other word for it. over!"

the dark haired boy looked up at the night sky as he said, "Well that's odd but explains how there abilities seemed to be a bit rule braking! Has the wolf lady spoken over?"

Twilgiht then replied, "Ino used her mind reading jutsu to confirm fugai's claim to memory lose, as Temujin didn't lose memory when his stone died after fighting his former master it's probably has to do with the curse mark like monster form she used! And also can't find out why Temujin's stone died! Over!"

Shikamaru rolled his eyes and said, "I think the guy made his stone die as he probably start to think the stones bring nothing but evil and were too troublesome! Over!"

Twilgiht sound like she was thinking about it, "well it's close to magic so possible man! over" at with point it looked like the circus was being loaded up on the train.

Shikamaru then got up and said, "I got to go looks like the prince ought the whole circus for his son over!"

Michiru then walked up and said, "No I did not buy them My son won a shooting contest were the ring leader said he could ask for anything in the circus for a prize if he won. My son asked for the saber tooth tiger. The ring leader looked said as it was like part of the family so I offered to give them an area to perform in on my island that way they still get the tiger and my son has his hard earned prize no money traded hands and my son smiled or gasped in shock! I'll have to thank the yellow one for her advice when I see her next! Now I offered them a free right too so sorry for the extra work load!"

while they traveled

Hikaru was blinking at the tiger's cage as it roared and Fluttershy said, "he is sensing your fear! And as I understand animals he says that's why he doesn't like most things he likes the monkey kiki has he shows no fear! And he likes me as I can understand him! But hates Shino because he makes him itch like flees, kind of a chatter box he is!"

unknown to them a Bandit jumped out of the shadows holding a knife as he said, "hand over the prince!"

Fluttershy turned and quickly used a wing to hold back the knife as she said, "Nice try I heard your breathing miles away! You think my ears are for show! Hikaru behind you!"

the little prince rolled and in a moment he spotted the bandit that was behind him was holding some kind of long needle covered in something clearly a knock out drug and in a moment he fired plastic arrow at the lock for the tiger's cage as the needle was heading for Chamu.

In a moment the plastic arrow turned the knob opening the cage letting the saber tooth jump out avoiding the needle as it roared and tackled the bandit that almost had the prince!

Fluttershy smiled as she happily said, "he liked that!" she then landed a hoof to the other bandit's stomach knocking him out!

She then grabbed the downed needle as she said, "I know this, this sleeping drug is poisons to felines Chamu would have died if not for you Hikaru!" in a moment the tiger walked over and nuzzled the boy happily making him smile as he petted the large cat making it pur!
