"Hmm,"
"Kakashi Sensei! Which direction should we be heading?" Naruto bellowed at his teacher who was standing on the tip of the treetop, scanning the environment. "That way!" He pointed. "It heads to a cliff!" Naruto shouted back. "Well, that's the only way." "Kusso………." Naruto cursed under his breath. "Ikesuo (Let's go)" Kakashi gave the command. The four of them dashed at full speed, jumping off tree branches and tree trunks. "Kuchiyose No Jutsu!" Naruto shouted after he bit his finger and drew a line of blood on his palm before hitting it flat on the ground while burning blue with his chakra. Ancient words spread from the center of his palm going outwards in all direction while circle appear every feet.
Smoke enveloped Naruto who then appear 60 feet above the ground standing on something which is still covered in smoke. Wind blew and the smoke shifted, reveling whats under Naruto's feet..
"Who summon me?" a voice boom. "Gamma-san!" Naruto called out to the frog. "Ha, my little subordinator! What do you need now?" Gammabunta was looking around his front leg and around looking of his enemy. "Erm….. Gamma-san, I need you to just jump over the cliff. It's way to far apart for us." Naruto explained. "Kakashi? It's been a while since we last met. If I recall, it was during the fight with Kyuubi right? Yondaimei called you to find him something to seal Kyuubi right?" Gammabunta greeted. "Yeah. Long time. So, can we get on with our business now? We have to get over the raven. Since you're here, might as well you bring us over." Kakashi said. "Ok, ok. Hold your horses. Grab tight! " Gammabunta warned as he lunched himself and the other on his back hundreds of feet in the air. Sasuke was standing steadily with his feet stuck firm to Gammabunta's back with the help of chakra. Sakura was holding on to Kakashi with chakra on her hands and Mr. Lee was sitting there enjoying the ride. Naruto on the other hand got a VIP seat in front of Gamma's nose. He channeled his chakra to his butt, making him glued fix on his nose. "See that you now managed to stay on me without holding on. Good work my subordinate." Gamma congratulates. Naruto looked back and gave him a wide grin.
"Hey sensei! Why not we just ride Gamma till somewhere near the center city? That way we can get there fast! What do you say? Please say yes..!" Naruto telling Kakashi about his idea and pleading at the same time. "Ok, I can then finish this volume 5 of Icha Icha Paradise that I have just bought." Kakashi then laid flat on his back behind Gamma's shirt collar in a semi-sleeping position, getting comfy and reading his book. Sasuke was just standing there, enjoying the breeze that went by while Sakura kept looking at him like some sort of a hero or a god. He knew she was looking, feeling rather annoying but as he was used to it since in the Ninja Academy. Mr. Lee on the other hand, was sitting where he first sat, reading some scrolls, leaving some on the back of Gamma near him, flowing chakra to them to avoid them from flying away. Naruto was leaning between Gamma's eyes, above his nose, chattering away with Gamma about the fight that he just had, exaggerating some part too much, while Gamma kept hoping more than 100 feet in to the air and back to earth again.
"Wow!" Naruto exclaimed out of excitement. "So, this is how the city's palace looks like!" he continued. His voice boomed across the city, making everyone looking at him with a bewilder face. "Typical Naruto." Sasuke muttered. The palace stood high above the rest of the city, towering every high-rise buildings. It rested above a platform, which rose 20 metres above the city floor. It was clad in magnificent golden-yellow rooftop tiles, which shone like the sun and the walls are covered in light gray coat, with the corner pillars wrap in silver and yellow colour. It stood out from the colourful buildings in the city. It was shimmering three hundred and sixty degrees in all direction. As the sun shone on it, the rays disperse every direction, luminating it.
"Kawaii!" Sakura exclaimed. Kakashi was so absorbed in his book that he peered above the book and said, "What's so cute?" Sakura then gave him a death glare. "Kakashi quickly pretend to be busy reading. "Humf!" Sakura snorted. She drew in a deep breath and said, "Wow. It smells different here than back in Konoha."
"Sniff…sniff." Naruto sniffed the air. "What smell? What?" Naruto exclaimed. "FOOD!" Naruto shouted at the top of his voice. "We are going to the palace then we'll search for food, Ok." Kakashi commanded. "What the!" Naruto retorted. "Kreww" Naruto's stomach also called out, signaling its hunger.
"Sekuoi….(Amazing)" Sakura said. "Naruto, did you know that the shogunate survived because of this palace? It's so high above that they can see the enemies before they can get here. They managed to half the enemy strong before going down with katanas to fend them off." Sakura educated Naruto, passively telling the rest of the gang who were eavesdropping. Kakashi kept his book in the pouch behind him and told the gang, "Ok, let's hurry there." Naruto squinted his eyes at him and said, "Why suddenly you want to rush? We have tones to time to waste you kn……….Krew…." Sasuke looked wildly at Kakashi. "Oh…..He's hungry." Sasuke told. "Heh" Kakashi chuckled while holding his tummy. "Lets GO!" Naruto exclaimed and they started speeding off.
Sasuke tapped Mr. Lee's shoulder "Make a last check that your important stuff is with you." Mr. Lee reached into his pouch and checked. "Yup, all inside." he answered. They sped through many people who to their eyes are just a flash of colours streaking over. They know those are ninjas and they are used to it. It doesn't matter if they rub shoulders or accidentally hit each other.
They then reached the main gate of the palace. Kakashi and Naruto suddenly stop and skidded about 3 feet from where they stop. The others just jumped into the air to avoid collision with Kakashi and Naruto who stopped abruptly. "What was that for!" Sakura shouted. Naruto and Kakashi didn't even turned their head. They were in their fighting stance. Naruto stood there with his hands clutch in a fist and Kakashi lower himself to about Naruto's height, one hand in his pouch and the other hand bend 90 degree forward, ready to fend off and attacks. Sasuke walked to naruto and stood there also. Sakura mean while jumped in front of Mr. Lee and went to battle mode: She lower herself, legs apart to counter and attack, while maintaining balance, readily to take any attack.
