AK:Sorry I haven't updated in a while, trolls in my sword online fic got me down and life too. But I have been working on other fics to set my mood better and this one did so. As always look up the original story of this reading as it's the reason why I am doing this. Wish me luck!
"Yeah… yeah… okay." Azure King sadly said as the others, Naruto's group, Peach and Queen watch as King was taking a call and was sad. Hanging up he gave a sad smile, "Hey I… uh gotta go, not really up for this. Queen you-"
"I'll handle it, go sweetie." She said as the King wave them goodbye.
"Is he okay?" Ino said placing a hand on Queen's shoulder, "He seems…"
"Yeah… not really good… well the best present for him is to work hard. So who's reading?" Azure Queen offered the tablet.
"I'll take it, the dude is a good host." Kiba said taking the device, "We all need a moment."
Vacation.
It took 3 months to make it happen, and it wasn't easy to clear everything in advance to make it happen either. To book a hotel room on Isle Delfino was easy, actually it was extremely easy. He was royalty, the second he so much as asked to get a room he had become top priority despite Isle Delfino not being part of the Mushroom Kingdom. They used the same form of currency, coins were actually a very common currency used by most of the world... which made dealing with the Bean Bean Kingdom that refused to use them difficult for most of the rest of the world. All the other kingdoms also had their own form of coins, their purple coins... but they still accepted gold coins.
"Purple coins?" Lee asked in confusion. "I don't get it… I thought gold, silver, and copper are the only metals for money."
"That's not true, you see in my kingdom we use a lot of currency types due to our neighbors." Peach started with small piece of paper Queen handed her. "The bean queen uses purple coins, this island that me and Mario went used rare blue coins that had special metal to make. Uh we also take in bills, diamonds, jewels..." She listed off making more pictures and show its equivalence to her kingdom's amount for them.
"Huh… color me impressed."
*BA DUM! PISH!*
"Requiem not now." Queen blushed as her odd creature had a drum and cymbal out before it vanished with the equipment.
Getting the hotel room... easy, very easy... making sure Bowsette did not know he was getting a hotel room... difficult. Well, it was suppose to be difficult, but Bowsette's kidnappings as of late were a little less frequent and she herself was going on a vacation to spend some time with... family?
He didn't know she had any family.
'The fact they want me to build a race track on their island... kind of odd... but I guess they want to be involved more with other kingdoms. Isle Delfino is the number one tourist destination in the world for a reason.' Naruto thought to himself as he looked at Toadsworth on his left side, and Peach on his right side. They were currently riding his personal plane... again, he is royalty so it was expected that he would not take public transportation when there were such dangerous risks to it after all.
Not that he was a stranger to danger.
"That is kinda odd for a tourist attraction…" Shikamaru raised an eyebrow. "Wouldn't the natives be angry about that?"
"Possible because this guy is a magnet for trouble." Sakura said teasing Naruto for his bad luck on certain missions they were in at times.
"Hey I'm not that bad!" Naruto argued.
"Zabuza…" Sasuke stated as the team seven went quiet, mostly to do how fresh the mission was. "Sorry…" He apologized for the sore subject as that was a wake up call for them as well as one of their greatest achievements.
"Let's keep reading, shall we?" Peach suggested hoping to get them into a better mode, as she moves towards Naruto enjoying how warm he felt.
Actually, considering how well Bowsette treated him, he kind of was a stranger to danger. Since she never actually put his life in danger by kidnapping him, all she did was mildly inconvenience him, and stress him out. That was something he was more than capable of handling.
"That… is very true." Sakura stated as she realizes the only way she consider Bowsette hurting Naruto is when she tried to rough handle him over her shoulder and that was the first time they met.
"Oooooh, that looks delicious." Peach was in her own lala land as she looked at the TV in front of them, showing Isle Delfino.
"Peach did you do that when you saw that screen?" Naruto asked as the blonde woman shook her head, patting his arm gently.
"Oh no it was Mario, although I did spot-" She stopped as she saw the Prince Naruto eyes slightly narrowing at the screen on the TV. "Um… Naruto?"
He raised an eyebrow.
This was odd.
"There!" The princess shouted as Queen quickly looked up from watching her game as she lost interest for a moment with this.
"Wait go back." Hinata said as she noticed something, Queen did as she rewound the video to pause what the prince Naruto was watching to notice a dark blur.
For a second, on the screen, he was pretty sure he saw Peach... a shadow that looked like Peach, jumping around in the background. Unsure of what to make of that, he looked at Peach.
"A shadow Peach? Where did that come from?" Choji wondered.
"Yeah, I wonder that too." Kiba added. "Princess?"
"Did you see..." Naruto stopped when he saw her eyes were heart shaped, and she seemed unable to hear his words. "Toadsworth, did you see that... well, you're observant." Naruto stopped himself from even waiting for the answer when he saw that Toadsworth was in lala land as well, no doubt imagining how relaxing or fun vacation was going to be.
"I think it's safe to say that Naruto is the only person who actually has a brain here." Ino deadpan at the horrifying thought of a Naruto who might be the single person to notice something obvious to everyone.
"Yeah, that's kinda scaring me now…" Sakura agreed with her own deadpan adding a sweat drop to that.
"Yup!" Kiba and Shino nodded.
"Uh-huh," Team Guy also agreed.
"...I hate you guys so much…" Naruto said with a cloud of depression over his head.
"We love you too, you idiot…" Sasuke crossed his arms.
"Ahem… shall we keep going?" Peach clapped her hands twice, before moving her hand to hold Naruto's own. "Don't worry, you're a kind person."
The teen smiled as he nodded to her kind words, "Thanks dattebayo!"
"Dat… what?" Peach looked confused, before the story moves on.
The adviser, the guy who didn't do all that much, was stressed out... ignoring the fact that Naruto was the one who ran the kingdom and dealt with other kingdoms... and Bowsette.
"That… sounds so unfair." Sasuke said as the idea of being stressed without working seem pathetic.
"Well it could be the stress of the kidnappings." Sakura said to her crush who nodded to that acknowledgement.
The last few kidnappings had been the most... embarrassing to say the least, though they failed.
He still needed to apologize to Bowsette for that last one.
"Wait…" Neji raised a finger at this tadbit, "Why would he be apologizing?"
"And how many kidnappings that Bowsette do!?" Tenten asked incredulously.
"Tenten-chan, Neji asked why not how many." The bowl cut teen said as Tenten glared at him.
-Failed Kidnapping 1-
"Thank you Queen Bean, it's always a pleasure doing business with you."
Standing in front of Naruto was the massive figure that was Queen Bean, not massive like Bowsette... but her entire body was shaped like her namesake. She had green skin, with a massively rounded and... there were no kind words. She was overweight to the extreme, though there was muscle there too. Still, standing at a tall height greater than his own, his hand was minuscule in comparison to her own massive one, and shaking it was a bit of a challenge.
"Holy crap, she's fatter than me!" Choji cried out. "And here I thought I eat too much!"
"HOLY CRAP!" Shikmaru screamed out as he never thought he heard his friend admit that. Ino just went back to her seat in shock as she couldn't believe what she heard.
"Uh… is that… really the Queen of the Bean Kingdom?" Kiba asked Peach for confirmation.
"Yes, we met… and I think she is the only Queen at the moment in the whole planet." The girl said as took a moment to think about it.
"But… wouldn't you be a Queen too since there's no one else to take that role in the Mushroom Kingdom?" Lee questioned.
"Well my father is still in charge." Peach stated as she gestures to Naruto, "And like Mister Naruto's counterpart, I do most of my father's duties as he is still grieving for the loss of my mother."
"Oh… I'm sorry to hear that…" Sakura said sadly.
Peach shook her head as she spoke softly, "It is fine, my mother told me to always remember her in the best way possible."
Usually, he went to her kingdom to do their business deals, but this time she had traveled to his castle, which was a novel experience.
"Nothing dear Prince, it's always a pleasure... if only you were green, you would be just my type." Queen Bean noted as she let go of his hand.
"Uh-uh, no~ thank you!" Naruto shook his head wildly, waving his hands frantically.
"Haha, she has a husband… I think, since I met her son." Peach said patting Naruto's shoulder kindly.
"Thank god!" Hinata sighed silently as she hoped no more rivals for that Naruto to have.
He was going to need his arm put back into its socket again, and a massage to reduce the soreness of that. Every time he dealt with her, she was friendly, but she did not know her own strength.
"Well, I'll see you... out..."
Naruto noticed that Queen Bean, instead of a chair, had been sitting on a knocked out Bowsette... for the past 2 hours.
"OH MY GOD, SHE'S DEAD!" Everyone but Peach shouted in horror.
"No, no she isn't… I think…" Peach leaned in before nodding, "Nah, she's fine."
"YOU CALL THAT FINE!?" Everyone shouted at her.
-Failed Kidnapping 2-
"I'm the Big Bob-omb, baron of all blasting matter, king of ka-booms the world over!"
"..." Everyone's eyes widen to comical portions to see a living and talking bomb standing in front of Prince Naruto.
"Well that's new…" Naruto commented.
"Hmhm," Peach arily giggled at the stun surprise of her new friends, "He surprised me too, I didn't know most of his kind were able to talk."
"Nice to see you again King Bob-omb, I hope the ride over here wasn't too bumpy for you." Naruto didn't mind dealing with this explosive monarch too much, since his kind was part of the Mushroom kingdom. While he held the title of King, he was still subservient to those of the Toadstool family as a general rule.
"And as always this Naruto doesn't seem to give a flying fu…" Kiba winced as the others glared at his words, "luck… to a talking bomb that can kill him…"
"Real smooth there…" Shikamaru deadpanned.
Though, he was annoying.
Like how he leaned forward right now.
"Still no mustache on that face of yours, as a Prince, you need one to show your servants your status... you should take after me, and grow out a fine one... but nothing will compare to my... my... my-"
"I can't imagine Naruto having a mustache…" Ino deadpanned, looking at the male blonde and tried to imagine him with one, but when she did in her mind, it looked pretty stupid.
"I CAN~!" Naruto smiled as he had a thought bubble of having the King of Kaboom's moostache. "Heh~!"
Naruto sighed and took put a helmet on his head, before he grabbed his blast shield and held it in front of him. He came to the meeting room prepared for the worst, knowing that there was a chance a sneeze of epic proportions could happen.
"That explains why he is so ok with having a bomb near him." Sasuke said as this Naruto has a plan for everything, he might have a plan for a plan for a backup plan.
"Prince Naruto, prepare your hand, because today is the hand I take it for my-"
"Oh no…" The girls' all winced as they saw the King's finally unable to hold it any longer.
*BOOM*
Just as soon as Bowsette jumped through the window and landed in the middle of the room, King Bob-omb exploded and sent her flying right back out the window and into the distant skies above. Naruto had already been fully prepared, and suffered no damage from the blast. The king of explosions on the other hand, was on the ground out cold from his own explosion.
"Looks like Bowsette's blasting off again." Kiba snickered.
-Failed Kidnapping 3-
"Prince Naruto, it's been such a long time!"
The gang just watched as they saw Prince Naruto's slightly annoyed face as he heard the woman's voice greeted him. Peach on the other hand was excited by this voice, as she knew who it belongs to.
'Bowsette, why can't you kidnap me?' Naruto thought to himself as he was picked up and hugged by perhaps the one person he just could not deal with. She looked a lot similar to Peach honestly, but with more tanned skin, a rounder face, brown hair, and she wore a yellow princess dress.
"Wait, he wants Bowsette to kidnap him?" Sakura said confused.
"Wow, you've been doing sports... muscles, and you've grown your hair out a little, just love this look. Hey, you should take off your shirt so I can see if you've changed..." Daisy said as she inspected his body, and he managed to get out of her grasp. She laughed in a good natured way, her voice showing off her tomboyish personality as she wrapped an arm around his shoulder. "Glad that you're safe from that nasty Bowsette girl. Aren't you happy I showed up unannounced?" Daisy asked with a large grin.
The group looked at Peach… then the screen, then back to Peach… and repeated this process over twenty times. "Are you sisters?" Everyone asked astonished at the sight of a near perfect peach in tan skin.
The blonde shook her head, "No, why do you say that?"
Naruto just groaned.
"Oh I get it, she must be a big sister who bosses or overprotects him." Kiba said as he remember his own sister always making angry for doing her chores when their mother wasn't around.
"Makes sense." Shino shrug as he didn't have a big family, the only person he ever saw a sibling figure was pretty nice to him.
Right, because if she had announced herself, he would have made sure he was kidnapped again. She didn't need to know that though.
Shikmaru nodded, "Right, because last time he literally handed himself to Bowsette to ruin the last one."
"Yeah... it's... unfortunate what happened last time."
"So, why don't we take this conversation into your private hot springs... I know you've got a really good one hidden." Daisy judged him with an eager face.
"1000 ryo says Naruto's getting laid." Kiba said.
*WAPISH!*
"OW!" Kiba was smacked on the head by… Hinata of all people.
"T-That's not the Daisy I know." Peach blushed on how...crass her best friend as acting.
She remembered bathing with him all the time as a kid, seeing as their kingdoms were super close, and the Kings always had them play together when they were doing King stuff. They played, bathed, and had fun... though Naruto always seemed so happy when she was leaving... but that was just excitement for the next time she would come over.
"But it seems that she inherited Naruto's stupidity." Sakura deadpanned as she realizes that the tan girl might be the Naruto-equivalent to their Naruto.
"Hey, I'm not that bad!" Naruto complained. "I just… don't pick up on things that quick…" He mumbled.
"..." Hinata just blushed as she made a mental note to do something that Naruto could see her feelings.
"We're adults now, we can't be-"
"Oh come on now, you've got nothing I haven't seen before... unless you never got bigger, and you're embarrassed about it." Daisy laughed at her own joke, while Naruto shivered in annoyance. "To think, all those I yanked on it must have made it bigger." Daisy grinned as she fondly remembered learning the difference in sex, by seeing a naked Naruto and yanking on his thing.
"Peach, what the hell is wrong with her!?" Sakura demanded.
"T-That's not the Daisy I know!" Peach shouted blushing on her tomboy friend… talking and doing such things to Naruto.
"Is she really that desperate?" Neji asked before shaking his head, "Wait… Peach-hime, is it true that Daisy was, as you stated, a tomboy?"
"Yes… why do you ask?" Peach questioned.
"Perhaps she is acting like that, as a sister figure for Naruto. A very...boyish sister." he stated as the blonde princess nodded agreeing the idea as it seem more likely as Daisy had Peach growing up making her a tomboy, but with more girlish tendencies.
Naruto shivered at the memory.
"Geez, just what the hell did I do to get her attention anyway? It's not like I'm into her or anything…" Naruto furrowed his brow in annoyance.
"I feel ya man." Shikamaru said as did the rest of the males who twinge at the idea of a girl yanking on their tools, it wasn't a sexual fun yank but to test how far it can be pull…
"Oh grow up, its not like its that painful." Ino rolled her eyes at their childish fears.
"Like you know!" The boys shouted in unison before they slap high fives around like a certain team of penguins.
"Oh hell no, you are not taking MY Prince-"
"Bowsette!" Daisy turned around, jumped up, and slapped Bowsette in the face the second that she laid eyes on her. The second the slap connected, Bowsette went flying through the air, clear over the castle until she was out of sight.
...
Daisy had a mean slap.
"Damn…" Kiba blinked.
Tenten eyes were filled with stars and awe as she saw someone else do the Legendary Sannin, Tsunade's, one hundred mile slap! "COOOL~!"
-Failed Kidnapping 4-
"I've got nothing planned for the rest of the day... after I get dressed, I should see if Peach wants to golf." Naruto, with a towel around his waist, sat down and started to dry his hair with the blow-dryer. It was just one of those rare days that he really didn't have anything planned.
"Wow, everytime I just want to hit that!" Sakura blushed at her former best friend, drooling over the Prince like that every time he reveals some skin.
"Yeah right." Naruto pouted.
He had no meetings.
There was nothing that needed his dire attention, nobody was going to be visiting from other kingdoms. Bowsette had just kidnapped him yesterday, so there was little chance that she was going to do it today. Overall, he didn't have anything to do now. Piranha Plant was in New Donk City... doing who knows how many of the men there, she was on vacation. Koopa was sick, though she just needed some rest. Goomba was with Shy Gal, the two of them were having a girl's day together, doing whatever it was they did.
Everything was just... kind of boring.
"Wow… talk about chill." Shikamaru commented. "Wish I could be like that."
"You already are." Choji added.
"I just wish Naruto is like that now." Sasuke said as he would be friends with this person, hell he can even buy that Prince food if his Naruto can trade places with him.
Heck, even a Bowsette kidnapping would be welcome over this boring atmosphere of having nothing to do. The vacation to Isle Delfino wasn't for another 3 weeks either.
"Prince Naruto/Prince!"
Naruto froze completely after jumping when Bowsette and Peach both came rushing into his room out of nowhere. In deep thought, he hadn't heard them running down the hallways, and he hadn't been expecting them.
"Look he actually has something other than a deadpan face." Choji said as he ate some chips that Queen made for him.
"Tell this loser that you love me more/Show this Koopa that I'm your hero!"
Violence was never the answer to anything.
"Oh great…" Naruto facepalmed.
When the two of them stopped what they were doing, and saw that his towel had slipped off, and his body was still wet from his bath, they each had their own reactions. Bowsette, who had never seen a naked, male, humanoid in her life wasn't quite sure what to make of the sight. She appreciated the view though, she wasn't aware of how Naruto compared to other men.
"Eeeeeeek!" The girls all blushed heavily. Though Hinata stared longer than usual with a goofy smile as Queen pulled out a black bar and placed it over the Prince's package.
Although the strangest thing Queen noticed was that Princess Peach wasn't with the blushing group. But in deep thought as she looked Naruto, using her power she listen when she saw the outsider of the world speak softly. "It's really is a odd thing, I know he took my place in that world. But up close he does resemble me alot just as a boy...a very handsome looking boy." She ended that last bit with a soft smile and almost impossible blush, not from lust but slight embarrassment of complimenting herself and Naruto.
"That is really cute/You're bigger than my brothers."
The boys just slap a hand over their faces then groan at the two females reactions…
"What?" Sakura asked as the boys pointed at the screen, knowing the author would most likely explain why they were cringing at the sight.
At the same time, they were really in sync today, they both said things that were equally embarrassing for Naruto. Peach had brothers, with little sense of shame, that she lived with so it made sense for her not to be too embarrassed over a naked man. She appreciated the view, but this was still within the realm of normal for her. Her cheeks were a little pink, and she averted her eyes when she realized she was staring at the prince naked.
"I don't-" Ino started as Choji raised a hand knowing it was next.
Being called cute was humiliating.
Being compared to a girl's brothers was weird.
"Ooh…" Hinata said as it did made sense on why the boys had those reactions.
Naruto's mothers had taught him patience, understanding, and how to solve problems without violence. He had been a pretty rowdy child himself, and he did have a temper that he bottled up for the sake of his kingdom. He never had any weak moments where he would allow his temper to control him, at least, he had never found himself in a situation as an adult where he would be this embarrassed, humiliated, and caught naked like this.
"I think he hit his idiot limit." Neji mumbled as they watch as the prince twitch before moving his hand to the ground.
Naruto slowly wrapped his towel back around his waist with a burning red face, an intense blush. He walked right in front of them, and he gestured for Bowsette to lean down to his level.
"AH! He's going to propose!" Ino said slightly a little off put at the timing but-
Naruto grabbed both of their heads... and with one smooth motion, he slammed the two of them together head to head so hard that they collapsed in a heap on the floor. Naruto's whisker marks thicker and more animalistic in his humiliation, and his eyes burning red in color, to make his fire-like blush.
"OOOOOOOOOOOH!" Everyone cringed, hearing the sick impact of two skulls crashing against each other.
"Or… not…" The blonde female said watching the Prince leaving the two behind.
-End of Montage Flashback-
Yeah, he owed Bowsette an apology after that last one, he shouldn't have allowed himself to get so overrun by his embarrassment and get caught up in that. He never knew why Bowsette and Peach were together in the castle, and no alarms had sounded to announce her. Still, he was ashamed of himself for laying his hands on somebody in violence. It went against everything his mothers had taught him as a child.
"Wow even when its not his fault, he still is a gentleman." The Naruto of Konoha said as he scratches the back of his head, "I would have never been that cool with that."
Next time he saw Bowsette, he was going to ask her why she visited his castle the other day without breaking a window, and apologize for hurting her.
"And why haven't he married her yet?!" The girl's screamed at the lack of romance between the two as the Prince wasn't going to put a ring on that girl.
Maybe he would bake her a chocolate and cherry flavored cake, that was her favorite flavor after all.
"AWWWWW~!" The girls gushed as they just hope they their fav shipping would go. Who else can be just as good or better as Bowsette? Some kinda shy ghost girl?
