Chapter 2

"Why do the Councilwoman and Prince Neji want you dead, Your Grace?"

"I caught them in my Cousin's bed together, naked. I have also heard them plotting to kill all of your Vanguard so that Neji can seize control of all of the Guardian forces and bend them to his will, but only if-."

"You are out the way and can't challenge him as Queen." Naruto said, finishing Hinata's sentence.

Hinata nods slowly, Naruto steps into Hinata and wraps his strong arms around her.

"Everything will be all right, I'll protect you. Your Grace." Naruto said softly.

Hinata nuzzled up to Naruto and lays her head on the blonde's shoulder and closes her eyes.

"Thank you Naruto." she whispers.

The next day Naruto and Ghost went to see Hinata before setting off for the Moon and the Temple Of Oryx.

Neji and Hinata greet the blonde Hunter as he entered the Throne Room, kneeling before Hinata.

"Your Grace, I am prepared to depart, I will complete my mission and will return to you."

"Do be careful, Naruto." Hinata says, trying hard to keep her composure.

Naruto nods and gives her a smile and a thumbs up.

Naruto and Ghost teleport onto their ship and head off to the Moon.

"Naruto, what do you think of the Queen's story of the plot to kill her?" Ghost asks.

"Yes, I could sense malicious intent coming from Prince Neji, we need to get this done quickly and get back to protect Hinata so we can be there if they decide to act." Naruto said.

Naruto teleports down to the surface, he quickly calls his sparrow and hurries to the entrance to the temple. Pulling out his Sunshot Hand Cannon, Naruto made his way inside, moving silently, Naruto slipped around a corner. Stopping, the Hunter ducks into the shadows as he spots a pair of Knights and about five Acolytes around a doorway.
