Chapter 11: Battle in the Snow, Part 1!
"Alright places everybody, places!" Ordered the Director as cast members and set crews scrambled about. After landing in one of the few available sea ports, the cast and crew immediately got to work as they began setting up the staging area for one of the scenes for the movie.
Off on the side, Team Kakashi had taken point and decided to keep watch around the surrounded area. Why? Well, Kakashi made it a point that these were foreign to them and they wouldn't be sure enough that hostiles would appear, so they would need to keep their guard up.
Currently, Haku and Ankh were keeping watch while the others kept close of the cast and crew. Naruto, however, was idly working on an odd-looking trinket of sorts, which caught the attention of Momoyo.
"Hey, whats that?" She asked curiously as Naruto turned to her. "This? Well, I wanted to try and make a few new candroids, so I'm currently working on this prototype."
As Momoyo looked at it, she saw that it looked like a blue killer whale, but it appeared to be squirming around crazily. "Um, is it okay?"
Naruto grimaced as he looked at the poor thing. "Yeah, she's designed for underwater search and retrieval as well to fuse with the Ride Vendor like what the Cheetah candroid can do, but she seems to be...panicky."
"Maybe she needs water," Momoyo joked as she snickered, but when she didn't hear Naruto talk she turned and sweatdropped at the depressed cloud that hanged over him.
"I'm so stupid..." Naruto muttered before he re-closed the candroid.
As he got up, he walked over towards one of the nearby ponds, which they had to warm up so the crew could get some warm water for some of the scenes, and knelt down close to it.
"Well, here goes nothing..." Naruto said as he uncapped the candroid before tossing it into the water. At first nothing happened, but Naruto was soon happy to see that the Sachi candroid soon rose to the surface and was squeaking happily.
"Heh, glad to see you like it," Naruto stated with a grin while Momoyo laughed at the little robots playfulness. Naruto, however, stopped as his ears began to pick up on something off in the distance. It was small, but it sounded close to that off a whistle, and the smell...it was smoke.
"Momo-chan, be on your guard, I've got a bad feeling that something is gonna be coming our way sooner or later," Naruto warned as Momoyo nodded, picking up the scent as well.
Whatever was the cause of it, would not bode well for the group later on.

(Opening end)
Grabbing the candroid, Naruto re-closed the Sachi candroid and then him and Momoyo made their way back over towards the set crew where they were currently filming one of the opening scenes.
As Naruto approached, he couldn't help but blush as he looked at Yukie, who was currently in costume for the scene they were doing. If Naruto didn't know any better, he'd say that she was actually a princess.
(AN: If only he knew...HAHAHAHAHA!)
Yukie looked absolutely stunning, with a heavy but elegant-looking dress that went down to her feet, her long, raven hair reaching her mid-back, and her pale skin almost gleaming in the cold.
But even then, Naruto could still tell she had so much sadness in her eyes and behind her mask. He had dealt with that kind of mask before but he had grown out of it thanks to his friends back home as well as the Greeed, Bakuryū, and many others.
Momo looked at him and saw the concern in his eyes and could already tell why he was worried. She could sense the emotions that the actress was hiding, but could not tell what was the cause. However, she did notice the faint blush that covered Naruto's face when he looked at her earlier and could barely contain the smirk that she had in her mind.
'Oh~! Is Naru-kun a little interested in the Lead Actress? I wonder how this'll go on from here?' Momoyo thought as she snickered inwardly.
Across the way, Kakashi was looking around in thought as he noted that they hadn't gotten close to any prior towns yet, but even he picked up the faint smell of smoke.
Getting away from the group and cast, he camouflaged his chakra before making a few hand signs before cutting his thumb.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
With a slam of the palm, a puff of smoke appeared before him and soon revealed his summon Pakkun.
"Hey Kakashi, what's up?" The dog asked as Kakashi hunkered down.
"Pakkun, I smelled smoke off in the distance and I know for a fact that we are nowhere near any towns yet, can you go and check where the smoke is coming from as well as who's making it?" The dog nodded his head before he began to run off into the snow before disappearing beyond the hill.
Kakashi didn't want to do it, but if their was the possibility that a sudden attack might occur, they would need to be ready for anything.
~Off in the distance~
Three figures stood still as they watched over the group down below from one of the nearby mountains. One of them looked towards the other two and spoke.
"That must be her, go and tell the leader that she has returned!" The two nodded before retreating down the hill while the one stayed behind.
"Doto, your days of tyranny will soon be at an end..." He muttered to himself as he continued to monitor the group.
~Back with the group~
After about ten minutes, the director soon shouted "Cut!" As the cast turned to him, he spoke.
"Alright, the scenes for this area are complete. Set crews are to pack up the and move forward while the cast follows, as for the ninja's watching over us, your sensei will give you instructions!" As he stepped back, Kakashi came forward and spoke as well.
"Alright! Ankh, Gamel, and Uva will go first with the set crews! Naruto, Momoyo, and Kurama will guard the cast! And finally, Haku, Mezool, and Kazari will guard the rear! I will stay at a distance and keep watch over the group as a whole, dismissed!" With a collective nod, the groups moved to their assigned areas and soon move out.
With Naruto, he was examining the Dino Bracer in curiosity and soon jumped when Kurama poked him on the shoulder.
"Gah!" Kurama giggled as Naruto jumped in surprise before glaring at her. "Not funny," Naruto said with a blush of embarrassment while Kurama looked away innocently.
"What? That wasn't me," She said while Naruto rolled his eyes. Turning back, she looked at the Bracer in curiosity, "So, what is that anyway?"
"A new Brace that was made by the Abarangers. Apparently, when I fell asleep on the boat earlier today Abared appeared in my mind and told met that I would be able to use this, along with a few new forms that would appear if I were to use a Core Medal."
Kurama whistled at this in astonishment. "Thats amazing, but I wonder what those forms would look like, especially what the weapons would be as well."
Naruto nodded as he looked at it, but seemingly stopped his thought process as he listened in closely. The whistling noise from earlier seemed to be closer now, but the smell of smoke was also.
However, his senses soon kicked in as, up ahead, a large train soon appeared as it blocked their path.
Soon, the doors on the separate cars opened up to reveal multiple armored mercenaries while one mounted a large turret.
Getting into fighting stance, the group prepped themselves as an aged man approached from behind the hired soldiers. As his eyes landed on the group, he seemed to smile sinisterly as he soon looked at Yukie.
"Well, if it isn't little Koyuki! You've definitely grown since I last saw you!" Yukie began to shake in fear as the man continued on. "Ah, but I do not have enough time for social gatherings, so I'll make this quick...Hand over the crystal now or I will pry it from your corpse!"
To show his point, the mercenaries manning the turrets pointed them towards her as well as the set and crew members. Naruto was steadily getting angry because of the mans threat, but what happened next pushed him over the edge.
Out of nowhere, an arrow soon embeds itself into one of the mercenaries, who soon falls over dead, as the man's forces soon turn to the shooter.
The shooter, in question, looked like a young man in light armor clothing with a bow and arrow in his hands while behind him others began to appear with different weapons drawn.
"Tyrant Doto! Your tyranny ends here and now!" With that said, the small army soon charges forward in an attempt to bum rush to mercenaries. Sadly, they didn't make it far enough as the turret gunners soon turned to them and opened fire as they shot kunai at them.
Naruto's anger rose to its peak at the sight of the arm getting slaughtered and reached his breaking point. "ENOUGH!" He shouted angrily as he then charged forward as Kurama's chakra covered him giving him a single tail behind him.
Before the others could stop him, he rammed into the train sending Doto and his Mercenaries over as well. When Naruto jumped back, he clearly saw that their was a gaping dent in the side of the train as people began to exit the train through the opened doors. And among them was an annoyed Doto.
As he stepped out, he looked at Naruto in undisguised anger as he spoke. "So, you dare stand in my way of obtaining power? I've dealt with this land's militia daily, and I certainly won't allow someone like you to hinder my plans!"
Naruto glared at him in hatred as he crouched into a striking position. "Power, is that it? You kill these people just to gain power?!" At this, Doto grinned evilly.
"Of course! These lands hold a powerful treasure, and I intend to take it for myself!" Doto then began to form hand signs as Naruto took this as his chance.
"Not gonna happen!" Naruto then charged once again, but sadly Doto was able to finish the signs just as Naruto got halfway there.
"Begone! Ice Release: Black Dragon Blizzard!" With a thrust of his arm, he used the ice in the area to form an ethereal black dragon that soon launched forward.
Due to Naruto's speed, he was caught off guard as the dragon then slammed into him and, due to the force of it, was sent flying as the dragon carried him high up into the air before slamming itself and Naruto into one of the nearby mountains.
"Naruto!" Kakashi, Kurama and the others shouted as they soon found themselves being fired at as one of the mercenaries began to fire at command from Doto at the rest of the group. Haku acted fast and summoned forth several ice mirrors to block off the incoming kunai.
"Everyone retreat now!" Kakashi shouted as he soon ordered the cast and crew to follow him as he led them away from the area. As the others began to follow them, Kurama looked back in worry and hoped that Naruto would be alright before following the others.
~With Naruto~
Just after the dragon had crashed, Naruto was lying down face-first in the snow as the shroud of chakra then dissipated. We would be lucky that it had lasted so lang as it was able to take in most of the brunt of the crash.
As Naruto laid motionless, he was soon approached by two figures. They looked at him in concern as the tallest one then picked him up gently before taking him with them.
~A few hours later, with the others~
The others were currently inside of a cave as they were taking shelter from the blizzard that had come in. While others were taking turns as the lookout, Kakashi decided to go and get answers.
"You know that man, don't you?" Kakashi questioned as he approached Yukie, who was huddled next to a fire for warmth. She didn't do anything, but sighed as she turned to him.
"...Yes, he is my uncle, or rather WAS. Ten years ago, he killed my father in order to take the title of Daimyo and to get to me. My father had spoken of a way to bring spring to this land, but he was never able to accomplish it after what Doto did, and had entrusted me with this crystal."
"So I guess that also means your real name must be Koyuki, isn't it?" Again, she nodded as she
Kakashi nodded, but what he said next caught her off guard. "Then why not finish what your father started?"
She didn't answer for a second but then spoke softly. "I was weak, and scared, I didn't know what to do. I had just seen my father murdered before me by my own family, how could I honestly try and stop him?"
Kakashi didn't say anything at first, which almost prompted her to speak again, but he soon spoke up once again.
"While I can't say I've dealt with that, I do know someone who's dealt with things a lot more terrible than what you've gone through." She turned to him with a look of anger and confusion.
"And who would that be?"
"Naruto."
She stopped as he said that, clearly confused by what he had said. Naruto, as in the kid she spoke to on the boat?
Seeing her confusion, he decided to elaborate.
"Naruto...did not live a great life. He was always hated for something he had never done, and ridiculed about so many things he was accused for. The villagers treated him as a demon, along with a few shinobi, but he didn't care about it. He had friends, people he considered family, and didn't care what others thought of him, and to this day he continues to fight for what he believes in."
She had remained silent through Kakashi's speech, but decided to ask the obvious question. "And what does to fight for, exactly?"
Kakashi was silent at this but a smile soon covered his face, though unnoticeable due to the mask, and uttered one word before leaving.
"Peace."
With that, he left Koyuki as he returned to the other team members. Koyuki was slightly astonished at the man's answer, but couldn't help wonder if the kid would be able to do it.
"Maybe..." She muttered quietly as she stared into the fire.
~With Naruto~
As Naruto began to stir, he couldn't help but feel an odd embrace covering most of his body. After a few seconds he opened his eyes and was soon treated to an odd sight as he found himself under the covers of what appeared to be a bed, and later noted that he was also inside a house.
Looking around, he noted the place looked well refurbished and quite clean, and was honestly almost reminded of home. What did, however, catch his sight was the barely noticeable amount of purple hair that was slightly poking out from the doorway.
"Uh, hello?" Naruto called out, and was surprised to a young girl around his age, poke her head out. She had long purple hair that seemed to go down to her mid-back, along with pale skin and clear blue eyes. She also appeared to be sucking on a sucker for some reason.
"Hello," She said in a slight monotone voice as she smiled lightly, "How are you feeling?"
"Much better now actually, that guys' attack must've had far more force than I had expected," Naruto said awkwardly as he couldn't but berate himself for his damn recklessness.
The girl nodded, and suddenly jumped when she felt someone tap her on the shoulder. Hearing a small chuckle, Naruto raised an eyebrow in confusion at who did that, and when the mysterious person revealed herself he was almost at a loss for words.
The new visitor was a beautiful young woman who wore a white adult kimono, standard sandals, and light shirt with the other girl, she had pale skin and light blue eyes, but her hair was a mixture of purple and silver and was tied up into a bun. But, even she had a lollipop in her mouth.
'They must be related...' Naruto thought amusedly as the mysterious woman approached.
"You sure are quite the healer, when we found you earlier we were worried that the wounds might've been too much, but it appears that their was no need for concern." She seemed so elegant with how she spoke, but he could tell both of them were not normal.
"Yeah, I have a very useful healing factor," Naruto chuckled as he scratched the back of his head, earning a giggle from the woman.
"Well, I suppose it is only fitting for us to introduce ourselves," She said as she bowed lightly along with the young girl. "My name is Tsurara Shirayuki, and the young lady next to me is my daughter, Mizore Shirayuki."
"Hello," Mizore greeted softly getting a smile from Naruto at the girl's shyness. Deciding to do his part, Naruto decided to introduce himself.
"Well, I'm Naruto Uzumaki, Genin of Konohagakure!" Naruto introduced in his ever so cheerful voice, though was quite surprised to see Tsurara leaning in excitedly as she had stars in her eyes.
"Your a ninja?! Do you run really fast? Are you super stealthy? Can you teach me?!" She continued to ask repeatedly before Mizore decided to calm her down the best way she knew.
CLANG!
Tsurara was soon sprawled out on the floor as a steaming bruise was currently planted on her head, courtesy of Mizore and her...ice club.
Naruto was slightly bewildered by the the object, seeing as he didn't detect any usage of chakra at all in that technique, and was now really curious as to who these two were.
Mizore noticed this, and decided to explain.
"Yeah, me and my mom aren't normal by all means. You see, we're what humans call Yuki Onna, or 'Snow Woman' as they say. We have a strong control over all things ice-related as well as snow-related and can even create and mold objects out of thin air."
Tsurara, after recovering, decided to add in her bit as well. "Correct, but because of this our species can't survive in hot climates like desserts, but we can live in normal temperature areas quite well."
Naruto didn't say anything, but couldn't help but say something on his mind. "Cool."
Tsurara looked at him oddly. "Thats certainly not the reaction I expected."
"What do you mean?" Naruto asked curiously.
"Well, most people are often terrified of us because of all the stories that surrounds our race, but you seemed to have taken it quite well." Truly, she was very surprised by his answer as most men often try to run once they hear this piece of news.
Naruto scratched his nose at that. "Yeah, I'm honestly used to meeting strange people. I mean, I've got a few friends that are Homunculi made from a humans' greed, a Bijuu that was sealed into my gut after I was born, and a cat and fox that are made of pure data. At this point, I've gotten used to it already."
The two were soon staring at him in utter confusion and disbelief while Naruto seemed to laugh at their expressions. "Yeah, my life can be quite the exciting one!"
Tsurara broke from her trance first and laughed lightly at the kid's remark and soon joined by her daughter as well. Naruto grinned, but soon stopped cold.
"Wait, how long have I been out?" Naruto asked getting a small look from Tsurara.
"Only a few hours, why?" Naruto's eyes widened as he seemed to grow very concerned. Mizore, noticing it first, looked at him in worry.
"Is something wrong?" To this, Naruto turned to them.
"No, well, yes. My team and I were escorting a film crew so that they could make their movie, but we were soon encountered by some guy named Doto and his soldiers. Suddenly, a group of civilians armed with different weaponry tried to attack them from the side, but were gunned down before they could even make it. I got so angry, and I slammed into the train they rode in causing it to flip, and soon went after Doto. Before I could react, he hit me with some black dragon and I got launched onto the mountain, but my team was still down their!"
The two seemed to grow angry when he mentioned Doto, but were also sympathetic at hearing how things turned out. When he noticed their anger, Naruto grew confused until Tsurara decided to inform him on what was going on.
To say the least, when she was done he looked ready to skin Doto alive and leave him to the birds. And it only made more sense that he had some understanding as to why Yukie, or rather Koyuki, seemed so distressed about coming back here.
Thinking for a second, Naruto turned to them. "Tsurara-chan, Mizore-chan, is their a way to get down this mountain so I can reach my team?" The looked surprised by this, and had the decency to blush for the kid's choice in names, but nodded nonetheless.
"Yes, there is, but its very hazardous due to some of the wildlife that live on the mountain," Naruto nodded, but was stopped when he heard the next part.
"However, I wish to make a trade." Naruto and Mizore looked at her confused until Naruto asked, "And what trade would that be?"
"Easy, I will guide you down the mountain in order to avoid getting attacked by the wildlife, and in return," She stopped for a second as she looked away before turning back.
"I wish for Me and Mizore to accompany you back to your village!"
Naruto didn't say anything and Mizore looked shell-shocked until both of them replied in sync.
"WHAT?!"
"I wish to come with you and bring along my daughter," She said simply as she still had a smile on her face.
"I know that, but, why?" Naruto asked as he tried to understand why the woman wanted this.
"Because of my dream!" She announced loudly, scaring Naruto and Mizore at her sudden declaration, "For years I've trained to become the world's greatest spy, but I was never allowed to become one due to clan laws, but with this I'd be able to finally achieve my dream!"
Naruto and Mizore were silent still, though Naruto could honestly say he knew where she was coming from since he had the same thing going for him as well.
However, Naruto decided to ask something else that caught his attention. "Ok, but why do you want Mizore to come along also?"
Tsurara stopped as a soft smile came forward. "Truthfully, I think it'd be a good idea to take her because...its lonely here. To be honest, you're the first person we've seen in quite awhile ever since we left our village to get away from all the rules and restraints they had. And, to be honest, its a much better option for her to be away from the village, especially after the priest tried to marry her off to some ponce."
Mizore frowned in memory, clearly annoyed still at how that had almost happened. Naruto didn't say anything, as he began to think for a bit, and wondered if it was a good idea or not.
The two certainly were quite the interesting company, and would do quite well if they were to join up in the ranks, but would they really be okay? He could clearly see how strong they were, even if they didn't have much training yet.
His thoughts soon came to a close when he looked at their eyes without them noticing, and could tell that they had some hope in them, and could tell that they would like to leave this place.
With a final answer, he finally answered.
"Alright, lets do it!"
(And cut! Alright, this chapter took awhile to get done since I had to look back and forth through the 'Rise of the Supernovas' chapter and this one, so I apologize for the wait! But nonetheless, Tsurara and Mizore have been introduced and will accompany Naruto to the final battle of this Arc and finally back to Konoha!)
