Author Note: Sorry for the late update. It is rather rush, actually. I have lost most of my sense of ideas after I entered military service. Right now, I felt like I don't have the energy or power to write any decent stuff. I put a NarutoXFairytail and a brand new NarutoXWarcraft on halt. I don't dare to submit them and I don't know what to do. *Sigh* I guess I just have to wait until I feel the right moment has come then I'll do something about it.

"Are ya fools packed up?" Killer B bellowed.

"Yes, sir!"

"Great! Now let's us set forth to the fourth district of jack-pie!"

Nagato sighed. "Does that even supposed to make any sense?"

"WEEE!"

The redhead and his teammates shook their head in defeat. "This is a joke."

"Let's go!"

X-o~O~o-X-o~O~o-X-o~O~o-X-o~O~o-X

Mei struggled to a stabled, standing position. Naruto sighed and aided the stubborn redhead. "Mei-chan, you should rest a bit more. I've already stopped any possibility for infection on your wound, but if you move around often, you might risk opening your wounds again. I'll complete the mission by myself and-"

"No! I won't give up that easily. Don't you underestimate-"

Naruto grasped Mei's shoulders and scowled. "Nobody is underestimating you, Mei-chan. This is about your safety. Besides, if you can't fight at your full potential, you will ultimately become a liability during the mission. This is an A-Class mission and we must fight at our full potential. I can't help you while fighting. Please, just listen to me for once, okay?"

The redhead bit her lower lips. "I…"

"How about this, I'll go and gather more information about our mission. I'll find out how many base of operation does Owadon has and determine the routes to infiltrate the Aritono tower." Naruto softened his gazes and smiled. "Once I get the information, I'll draw a map to allocate our destination and then we can complete this mission. If Owadon is a threat to Kiri, we will annihilate him and capture his enterprise, claiming it as Kiri's property. If the news is fabricated, we will leave and report back to your brother."

Mei sighed and sat on the ground. "Very well… I'll stay here… but don't you claim all the fun for yourself."

"Heh, I know." Naruto smirked as the redhead conceded to his suggestion. "I'll be going. Don't leave this cave. It might be dangerous."

"I know, stop being a nag and go."

The blond smiled and dissipated his frame into a swirl of leaves.

"Be safe, you idiot." The redhead stared at the distant forest.

Killer B smirked as he and his team had arrived to a deserted town located within the area of Shimogakure, the village hidden beneath the frost. Nagato arched a brow as he examined a restaurant. "Are you sure this is the place?"

"Ya man. This is ma informant's hideout. He knows everything. Every little nookie in town can't escape this guy man." The rapper huffed and stormed into the diner. Without greeting the waiters, Killer B and his students, with immense fortitude, marched into a room, ignoring the cries of the workers. As they approached the last room, Killer B kicked the door open and stared at an unauthorised gambling den. "Oh, hell no! I know I don't think I see what I see what I'm thinking! I know well this is some bullshit. This is supposed to be a goddamn Indian restaurant!"

A white man dressed in blue sarong walked towards Killer B and deadpanned. "What the hell are you doing here, B?"

"Why am I here? I'll tell ya what I'm doing here. Your ass is going to jail. Your ass is going to jail, I tell ya! You tell your little friends here to leave or I'll bust their asses too!" Killer B waved his hands frantically and yelled, "Now pack up your stuff and let's get out of here! Pack up your-"

"Shut up, B! Let's talk outside."

The rapper cocked a brow. "You want to talk outside?"

"Yes." The man narrowed his eyes.

"Cool. Let's talk outside." Killer B swirled around and ambled out of the chamber. The man calmed the crowd and shut the door. Glaring menacing at the rapper, the man growled. "What the hell do you think you're doing here, Killer B."

"Ain't showing ya homie some love no more? Wassup man?"

"Killer B." The man folded his arms. "What's up is that I heard you get your ass kicked from your hometown."

Killer B chuckled. "You're crazy. Who told ya that?"

"I have my sources. Don't you worry about-"

"Those are lies, man! Look, I just need some information from ya, that's all." Killer B smirked. "Come on, Midori. You know shits people know nothing about. If ya don't tell me I'mma bust your ass now."

"Who do you think you are, huh? You bust in here… you embarrassed me in front of my friends? My clients? I'm gonna tell you what I'm gonna offer you." Midori pointed a finger at Killer B and snarled, "I'm gonna whoop your ass."

Nagato, Karui and Omoi stared blankly at the man, who was pointing a finger at them. "And I'm gonna whoop your asses."

"We'll like to see you try, ain't I'm right? We love to see you try-"

Midori swiftly changed into a fighting stance. "Come on!"

Killer B clenched his fists. "Do it! I dare you! I'll kill you and say you trip!"

Nagato shook his head and sighed. "I think you should-"

Midori spun around abruptly and attempted a kick at the redhead, only for his attack to be caught. "Hey, that's rude."

Withdrawing his foot, the man charged at Nagato. Unexpectedly, the redhead stood behind Midori in a blink of an eye and subdued him with a grapple manoeuvre. "We can do it the hard way and I get to break your wrist in front of your men; imagine that humiliation. Or you can do the easy way and tell us some information; that way, you get a chance to live. Now choose!"

"A-Alright, I say! I say!"

Nagato smirked. "Then what are you waiting for? Talk!"

Scanning the vicinity, Naruto sped towards an unprepared guard and clamped a hand on his mouth before dragging him into darkness. Naruto whacked the man's head and snatched his collar roughly. "Let's make this quick. I got questions. You got answers. I ask, you tell. I don't ask; you don't speak. If you are good, I'll consider sparing your life. So, do we understand each other?"

The poor sap nodded obediently.

Naruto smirked. "Good. How many bases of operation do your boss have?"

"F-Five…"

"Where is it?"

"One… post is here… the other four are to the north, south, east and… west of Kusagakure."

The blond tossed the guard on the ground and sat on his back with his legs crossed. "Do you know where it is?"

"I-I won't tell y-"

Naruto smacked his head and snarled. "Talk!"

"F-Fine…"

X-o~O~o-X-o~O~o-X-o~O~o-X-o~O~o-X

Nagato and his team dashed through branches and sped up his pace.

Karui groaned as her fellow redhead sped up his steps. "Hey, you idiot, are you rushing to your death? You're too fast!"

Nagato sighed and stopped in his track. "You're too slow."

Killer B arrived to the group and scratched his temples. "Let's just rest here, ya fool! We will set off in twenty minutes!"

Omoi smirked. "Finally, we can rest! All this running is killing me!"

"Ah, stop being a whiny bitch, Omoi!" Karui exclaimed.

"Whatever you say, Bitch-slap." Omoi snickered while the girl fumed in anger.

Nagato clapped his head and broke the inevitable disparage between his teammates. "Alright, break it up. We shouldn't quarrel amongst ourselves. Instead of trying to beat each other up, why don't the two of you practice some exercise to enhance your chakra level."

"Nagato is right, fools!" Killer B declared. "Omoi, Karui, listen to Nagato's advice."

"B-But why, Killer B-Sensei?" Karui asked quizzically. "He is just a genin."

"You should look underneath the underneath, little girl. That's what my brother always said." Nagato smirked and sat beside a tree. Folding his arms underneath his broad chest, the redhead closed his eyes and calmed his mind. In the state of tranquillity, Nagato meditated.

Karui sighed. "Well, he is strong, but…"

Killer B placed a hand on her shoulder. "He is a genin because ma brother wanna test his allegiance. You shouldn't look down on him just because of ranks, ya fool! Look at him with ya heart and judge him with a clear conscience, not ya pair of bias eyes!"

"M-My heart?" The redhead cocked a brow. "My heart has no eyes."

"He's trying to be symbolic, idiot." Omoi rolled his eyes.

"Why you-"

"Go and do some practice exercises, Karui, Omoi. Our destination is a two days trip." Killer B chided. "We have to save enough time for everything! Now go!"

Karui scratched her hair and growled. "It's just an escort mission! And Nagato has already beaten that guy down! He confessed everything. There would be no ambuscades or any other enemies in our path! Why afraid? I say we should just chill and-"

"Just go do some training and stop slacking off!"

The redheaded girl dropped her head in defeat. "Yes, sir."

X-o~O~o-X-o~O~o-X-o~O~o-X-o~O~o-X

"So you're right after all. You sure are one reliable guy." Naruto smirked as he patted the sobbing man's shoulder. "All the bases of operation are heavily guarded. As expected. What makes it suspicious is the fact that the crates are all imported from other countries. Basically, Owadon-san is borrowing Kirigakure's fame to import weaponries from other nations to his company. In other words, if anything fails, he can defame Kirigakure, and Kirigakure will receive vituperation from other countries. What a perfect plan."

"Y-You're smart… Although Owadon-sama is very secretive of his plan, I do know he is working with someone."

"A businessman aspires to gain fortune and wealth, not to become a tyrant of politics. Even if said businessman wishes to become successful dictator, he still needs formidable ally." Naruto grinned and muttered frostily. "I have a hunch."

"Hunch? What is it?"

The blond deadpanned and jabbed the man's forehead. Immediately, the man collapsed on the ground and fell into an unconscious oblivion. "Nosy fellow. By the time you wake up, you will forget everything. That's a good thing anyway. See ya."

X-o~O~o-X-o~O~o-X-o~O~o-X-o~O~o-X

"So, remind me what are we doing again?" Karui growled.

"Escorting our client safely back to Kumogakure." Killer B frowned.

"This looks like an easy mission." Omoi smirked.

Nagato remained aloof as he walked quietly behind the carriage. "This is too peaceful, isn't it?"

When the cart, pulled by two horses, crossed over a bridge, the redhead muttered to his superior. "This is a trap."

Killer B blinked. "W-What?"

X-o~O~o-X-o~O~o-X-o~O~o-X-o~O~o-X

Mei settled herself on a branch as she watched intensely at the legion of troops stationed in Owadon's headquarter. Naruto sat beside the redhead as he fiddled with his blade. "You sure about this? There is quite a sum of ninja there. You're injured."

"It's just a scrape. It'll heal. Most importantly, we need to exploit Owadon's motive." Before Mei jumped to the terrain, Naruto seized her shoulder and halted her movement. "Look at that."

Mei was shock when she recognised a wanted criminal associating himself with Owadon the businessman. "Konoha's Densetsu no Sannin? Orochimaru? What is he doing here?"

"Apparently, from my sources, he is the mastermind behind Owadon's heinous scheme." Naruto stroked his chin before he felt a disruption from the surrounding. Instantly, a violet blur blitzed into the factory, wrecking havoc as the place erupted into a chain of disastrous explosions. The workers tried to flee, but they were massacred in a spur of moment. The other ninja tried to retaliate, but they were decapitated swiftly. Mei blinked as she registered the new chakra signature. "Oh no! What is she doing here? Did my brother dispatch her here?"

Naruto scowled. He was surprise to see a young woman, with a lithe frame, dressed in a sensual purple breastplate that exposed her slender shoulders and toned stomach. She was donned in baggy trousers with dark tights underneath and fingerless glove that revealed her pink fingernails. Her black hair was worn as horns, which was fastened by pink ribbons above her bangs. However, her left eyes were blinking a malicious glow as she eradicated her enemies ruthlessly. "Do you know her?"

Mei bit her lips. "She is a member of the Nanatsu Megami no Kiri. Her name is Han Juri. She is an untamed animal who seeks only to kill and destroy those who stand before her. She has an insatiable thirst for blood and she kills without any mercy. She never respects the law and rarely obeys orders. She is infamous for her brutality as she does whatever it takes to achieve her goals; she has even killed her own superiors just because they hindered her during a mission, which is why she earns herself the nickname as Juri the Tyrant."

"Sounds sexy." Naruto grinned. "I'm gonna go play with her. Mei-chan, go and capture Owadon. It will be nice if he stays alive. As for Orochimaru and Juri-chan, I will do something about them."

Mei nodded and vanished into a whirlwind of smoke.

X-o~O~o-X-o~O~o-X-o~O~o-X-o~O~o-X

Konan stared apathetically at the defeated form of Yahiko. "Namikaze, you will be next."

Minato raised his hands in a surrender notion. "Hold up, lady. We only wish to meet Hanzo."

"I thought I have established the fact that Hanzo will not meet the three of you. Leave now or you will be dealt with."

Jiraiya sighed and muttered. "Minato, bring Yahiko back."

"Jiraiya-sensei! We-"

"We will leave here. It seems we are unwanted. If this continues, Konoha might have a new adversary. That is the last thing we need." Jiraiya deadpanned. "Let's go."

Konan remained impassive as she spoke monotonously. "You are wise as you are strong, Jiraiya-dono. You have made the right decision."

Minato sighed. "I guess you're right, Jiraiya-sensei."

Hoisting an unconscious Yahiko above his shoulder, Minato and Jiraiya disappeared into nothingness.

Konan spun around and ambled gracefully back to her chamber. "What a waste of time."

X-o~O~o-X-o~O~o-X-o~O~o-X-o~O~o-X

"Orochimaru!" Juri screamed as she charged towards the sly Sannin.

"Oh, if it isn't you again, Juri. Settling petty vendetta, I assume?"

Orochimaru ducked a few kicks from the girl, but he was surprise when one of the attacks connected to his face. Without hesitation, Juri jumped into the air acrobatically and delivered a roundhouse kick, pummelling the Sannin into a crater. "I hate you, Orochimaru. For what you have done to me. Now die!"

Forming a few hand seals, Orochimaru licked his lips with his serpentine tongue. "Oh? You have become stronger since the last time we fought. Let see how you deal with this! Striking Shadow Snake!"

A snake materialised from Orochimaru's tongue and it lashed towards Juri. The girl grinned devilishly and attempted to kick the snake, only to be startle when the reptile wrapped itself around Juri's frame. Her struggle was to no avail, Juri groaned in exasperation and her eyes sparkled off a dangerous vermillion. Orochimaru's smirk widened. "I see you are trying to use thatagain. You know you can't handle that kind of power, Juri."

"Shut up!" Juri's aura exploded into pink flames and she incinerated the snake with her sheer chakra. Her voice distorted and her gait became feral. "I will kill you."

"Oh, such bold words." Orochimaru snickered. "That's what you always say, after I beat you into a broken toy. Futon: Daitoppa!"

The Sannin thrust a palm forward and a shockwave of wind expelled from his hand. Juri gritted her teeth furiously and shielded herself by seizing the wind with her hands, before crushing it and dispersing the assault with ease. Orochimaru grinned. "Oh? You have mastered that dojutsu, huh? You are indeed a prized toy, Juri. Why don't you come back to my side and-"

Juri interfered with the Sannin's speech as she swung her foot in an attempt to cleave off her nemesis's head. Unfortunately, Orochimaru had caught her leg in the nick of time. "Oh, didn't I teach you any manners? It isn't nice to interrupt somebody's speech, especially when they're talking."

"I will never return to your side, you monster!"

Juri and Orochimaru twisted their attention to the sky before they leaped away. Spontaneously, Naruto landed on their vacated spot and embedded a crater on the ground. "Oh, I'm missing out the fun."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes viciously. "Who are you?"

"Who am I? I'm Mister Kickass, that's who I am," Naruto quipped. "Orochimaru, your involvement with the crime lord, Owadon, is considered an atrocity. Are you defecting from Konohagakure?"

"Who knows?" The Sannin smirked, but his bravado was attenuated when he witnessed the intruder's eyes. It was the legendary Rinnegan. Orochimaru gasped inwardly; the Rinnegan was a fabled dojutsu that belonged to a venerated entity akin to a god. The unsurpassable power belonged to those pair of divine eyes were what Orochimaru truly wanted. The Rinnegan could grant him immortality and fulfil his wish to become omnipotent. "T-The Rinnegan! You have them! You! But… how is that possible?"

Naruto smirked and pointed a thumb at his eyes. "You want them? You have to work for it."

The blond instinctively dodged a foot and grasped the offending appendage. "Oh? You must be Juri-chan?"

"Who are you? How do you know my name?" The girl spat. "Whatever. He is my prey. Fuck off or I'll kill you too."

"Feisty." Naruto grinned. "I like that."

Juri went into a chaotic rampage as she struck the blond with a foot, augmented with raw chakra. "Don't get in my way! Die!"

Naruto performed a few back-flips and threaded a few hand seals. "Katon: Goryuka no Jutsu!" (Fire Release: Great Dragon Flame Technique)

The blond inhaled a deep breath, channelled his chakra into his lungs and unleashed a gigantic serpent, composed of blazing flames, towards Juri. The girl growled in frustration before she stopped the assault with her bare hands, dissipating the flames within her grasp. Naruto was somewhat disgruntled by Juri's prowess. "She just squashed that fire like it was nothing. Does she not feel pain from that burning sensation? Or is she secretly a masochist? I can see she is that type of woman who loves S&M."

Naruto cracked his knuckles and frowned. "Juri-chan, why are you here? This mission has already been taken by me-"

"I don't care." Juri switched her deadly glare at Orochimaru. "As long as I can kill him, nothing matters to me."

"Oh, how scary, Juri." The Sannin sighed. "As much as I hate to say this, I do not have the time to play with the two of you. You, boy with the Rinnegan, I will remember you. As for you, Juri, better luck next time."

Spontaneously, Orochimaru's frame melted into a pool of mud, much to Juri's vexation. The girl swerved her sight at the blond and snarled in chagrin. "It's all your fault that that scum gets to escape!"

Naruto smirked. "That's my line. You do know this is not your mission, right?"

"Naruto is right." Mei emerged from the shadows and stood beside the blond with an irritated frown plastered on her beautiful features. "Juri, why are you here? Who sent you?"

"Mei…" Juri calmed her rage and flipped a hand seal. "I do not wish to mingle myself with the likes of you. And you, blondie. I will have my hands on you someday."

"Kinky." Naruto winked playfully at the girl. "Need some leather and whip?"

Juri's frame dissolved into a swirl of purple inferno before she vanished from the site. Naruto huffed and stared at Mei. "She is one crazy girl."

"I know, right? Her irate temper is basically why nobody wants to work with her." The redhead sighed. "At any rate, we should return to Kirigakure. I have already executed Owadon. He has already confessed his conspiracy and his treachery intention. I have already sealed his head into my scroll. I will submit the report myself to my brother; you don't have to worry about that. As for this enterprise, Kirigakure deserves the right to confiscate this property and claims it as its own. I will hand a contract of such to my brother too."

"Are you always that efficient?"

"It is part of my job." Mei offered a pleasant smile to the blond. "Let's leave this place."

"You know, you look more beautiful when you smile. That scowl on your face that you constantly wear won't do you good." Naruto softened his gazes. "You should really smile more."

The redhead felt her face heated up, and she tried to hide her miserable fluster from the blond. "S-Shut up! Stop spluttering crap like that."

Naruto chuckled softly. "Anything you say, Mei-chan."

X-o~O~o-X-o~O~o-X-o~O~o-X-o~O~o-X

"You really have some guts trying to fool us, huh?" Karui slapped the head of the assassin, who were bound by ropes tied around him.

"H-How did you know-"

Nagato stepped forward and smirked. "Simple. You make two critical mistakes. For starters, I must say that your plan is smart, but not smart enough. You plan to have ninja from Kumogakure to escort you personally into our village; therefore, you will be able to bypass the security of the village's gate with ease, since you are a client. However, your first mistake comes. If you really are a merchant, there should be goods in your cart. But why is your cart empty?"

The assassin stuttered. "H-How d-did you k-know the cart is empty? I did not even open it for inspection and it is sealed-"

"That is why you are an idiot." Nagato crossed his arms and squatted down beside the assailant. "When the cart crossed the bridge, I can't help but think something is missing. My puzzlement is solved when the cart rode past a rock."

"W-What?"

"If a carriage is loaded with goods, it should logically be heavy. Hence, when the carriage rode past a rock, it will take a considerable amount of effort for the horses to pull the carriage over said rock. However, the wheels of your cart simply drove over the rock without making any tiny stops. You see, those tiny stops determine the weight of a carriage. If it is heavy, those pauses are visible. In another words, the heavy carriage would ride up the rock slowly before descending down in a quicker pace."

The assassin widened his eyes as he registered the redhead's logic. "T-This guy… he picks up on my plan through such a simple observation?"

"However, your cart simply rode past the rock, as if there is nothing inside. Why will a merchant, who is supposedly importing goods into a village, bring nothing with him to sell? That concludes the first mistake you've made." Nagato raised two fingers and chuckled. "Lastly, your fatal mistake. Those horses you are using, they don't belong to Shimogakure. They are horses that are adapted to the warm climate of Iwagakure. If they lived in cold places such as Shimogakure, they will inevitably die. It is safe to say that you are not a merchant from Shimogakure. So what are you? There is only one answer to that rhetorical question."

"D-Damn it… I should have listened to my instinct and buy horses from Shimo!" The assassin bit his lip. "Irrelevant. You will not get anything out of me. I won't say a single-"

Nagato grasped the hapless assailant's head with his gloved hand and grinned. "Whoever told you that I need to extract information from you through your mouth?"

X-o~O~o-X-o~O~o-X-o~O~o-X-o~O~o-X

"So, Juri intervened? That woman is really doing her best to piss me off." Yagura grumbled. "Anyway, I congratulate the both of you for completing this mission. Now that Owadon is dead, Orochimaru has to find other people to stockpile his weapons. I don't really know what Konoha is up to, but whatever the case is, we will be prepared for them."

"I don't think Orochimaru's allegiance is with Konoha anymore, Yagura." Naruto folded his arms under his chest and frowned. "Do you really think a nation, such as the Fire Country, requires the likes of Owadon to purchase weapons from other countries? I'm sure they have their own connections with the other nations. There is absolutely no need to buy firepower from the black market, because financially, they are considered better than most villages. In another words, he is working under his own agenda."

Mei blinked. "Are you suggesting that Orochimaru is planning to betray his village?"

"It is only an assumption, but a plausible one." Naruto smirked inwardly; he knew well what Orochimaru would do eventually. "The Sannin is only invincible when Tsunade, Jiraiya and Orochimaru fight together. If Orochimaru decided to leave, Konoha's strength would be diminished. Regardless, Kirigakure will benefit from it, along with Kumogakure, Iwagakure and Sunagakure. Firstly, this village is still building its strength up, and I have the perfect plan for our next operation to take place in order to boost Kiri's financial budget."

The Mizukage smiled. "I would like to hear that."

Naruto scratched his hair and sighed. "It involves a particular small village. That's just a hint. When I've planned everything out, I'll give you a detailed report."

"Then I hold your word for it." Yagura sighed as he gazed quietly through his window and watched the fireworks exploded in the night sky. "The festival has started. You should have a look."

"Festival?"

Mei took the opportunity to interrupt as sorrow was displayed on her face. "It is our annual festival to celebrate the defeat of the Sanbi."

Naruto cringed and looked at Yagura, who was awfully calmed. "And you're not… annoyed?"

"Why should I? I have gotten over it. Besides, I am the Mizukage." Yagura smirked. "I have already gained recognition from my people. The minority who still hates me… well, there is nothing much I can do to steer their heart. At any rate, you should go and have a look. It's quite lively out there."

The blond sighed. "Very well."

X-o~O~o-X-o~O~o-X-o~O~o-X-o~O~o-X

Naruto, along with his pet sabre-toothed tigress, strolled the dazzling streets of Kirigakure, bustled with people and the harmonious ambience in the air was lively. The blond spotted children scurrying the alleys, food stalls scattered throughout the districts and fireworks bursting vibrantly in the atmosphere. Naruto's handsome attributes attracted gossips from the female populous, while his pet gained mixed attention from the crowd. "Mimi-chan, do you want candy floss?"

The tigress nodded fervently.

Naruto turned his sight at a food-cart and smiled at the vendor. "Hey, can I have two of those candy flosses?"

The cart owner returned an appreciative smile and handed the treats to the blond. Overpaying the vendor, Naruto gave the candy floss to Mimi, which she happily chewed her sweets. The blond patted his tigress's head and bit his candy floss. Surveying the vivacious festival, Naruto caught a glimpse of a familiar entity ambling across the road nonchalantly with bags of food in her hand. "T-Tenten?"

Naruto walked briskly towards the mysterious woman and called out, "H-Hey, wait up! Tenten!"

The woman paid no thought at the blond's cries and continued walking. Naruto finally chased up to his target and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Tenten, is that-"

Reacting to impulse, the woman seized the blond's wrist and her foot blitzed forward, halting barely inches away from his face. "W-Whoa! Tenten, is that… you?"

"Tenten?" The woman arched a brow and discarded her threatening posture. Naruto whipped his eyes at the brunette and blinked. She wore buns styled on either side of her head, which was a typical oriental fashion. Dressing in a blue cheongsam, her ethereal physique was outlined with enchanting curves and voluptuous bust, and her muscular thigh showcased her combat prowess. Alluring hazel brown eyes, delicate pink lips and an aura of charisma scintillating grace, her beauty was breathtaking. "I think you mistook me as someone else. I am not… this Tenten you speak of. My name is Chun-Li, head of the Xiang clan. If this is your despicable ways of preying on girls, then you're asking for a death warrant!"

"Okay, you're not Tenten. I get it." Naruto raised a hand, signifying a surrendering notion. "But the two of you look quite the same. Same hairstyle… same anger management issues…"

"A-Anger management issue? Why you…" Chun-Li puffed her cheeks in exasperation and glared viciously at the blond. Suddenly, her umbrage subsided and she whirled around. "I have more important things to do than to bicker with someone like you."

The brunette walked away, much to Mimi's annoyance. "Naruto-sama, should I eat her?"

"She really looks like Tenten." Naruto sighed and stroked his tigress's head. "No. Let's follow her."

The blond secretly tailed after the brunette and they ventured through numerous passages. When the blond and his pet arrived to Chun-Li's destination, they were surprised as children threw themselves at her. She ruffled the youngling's hair fondly and shook her bags of food. A boy stared with stars of admiration sparkling in his eyes and said hurriedly, "Onee-chan! What did you buy for us? Did you buy anything nice? Huh? Did you?"

A girl tugged on Chun-Li's clothes and beamed. "Onee-chan, did you buy lollipop for us?"

"I bought everything." The brunette grinned cheerfully. "Come on. Let's go inside!"

"Yay!" The children cheered and followed as Chun-Li skipped into the orphanage.

Naruto, concealed behind a tree, smiled. "So, she bought all those groceries for those orphans. Despite having some serious anger management issues, she has a kind soul."

"What should we do, Naruto-sama?" Mimi queried.

"I was born in an orphanage. I can understand what it's like to have no parents." The blond grinned. "Let's go! Follow me."

Before Naruto could approach the building, he instinctively ducked a foot and flipped acrobatically backwards. The blond was flabbergasted when his assailant's leg pierced through a concrete wall. "Why are you following me, you creep?"

"Uh…" Naruto's shoulders slumped and he sighed. "I think we got on the wrong foot, lady."

Chun-Li narrowed her eyes and growled. "Frankly, I've never seen you before. Who are you?"

"Uzumaki Naruto." The blond scratched his head nervously and chuckled. "I came to apologise."

"U-Uzumaki Naruto?" The brunette gasped. "You're Mizukage-sama's personal advisor."

"Yeah, I guess that's me."

The Raikage sighed as he stroke his chin. "You have done well, Nagato."

"Iwagakure is desperate."

A huffed indignantly. "That old fool. He thinks he can just send some flimsy assassin to kill Yugito-chan and gets away with it?"

Nagato stared stoically at the Raikage. "That serves more of a reason why you should accept my next proposal, Raikage-sama."

The wrestler arched a questioning brow. "And what is that?"

"Make Yugito my apprentice."

"So you're Mizukage-sama's cousin? It's not every day you get to meet a member from the Uzumaki clan." Chun-Li smiled. "Your clan was once a prestigious clan who was famous throughout the world for breeding talented seal masters. The Xiang clan was an ally to the Uzumaki clan. However, during the first war, your clan faced extinction while we lost countless kin. Although the Xiang clan isn't destroyed, I'm the only member left."

Naruto chuckled. "Well, it's better than nothing. Look at me, my clan is lost. I'm just a nameless advisor to Yagura, nothing more, nothing less. I came here to find a home for myself. I want to escape the deplorable society of our current era. The fist doesn't do the talking. We should never resort to violence unless absolutely necessary. Standing up to the repugnant bureaucrat is one thing; standing up to an army of delusion narcissists is another."

Chun-Li smirked, "Sometimes, you just have to stand up, even when standing up isn't easy. That's what life is all about, no?"

"I guess." The blond sighed.

"Anyway, enough of that philosophical debate, I want to know more. I heard some rumours circulating in this village."

Naruto cocked a questioning brow. "Rumours?"

"Apparently, people are saying you defeated Mizukage-sama, the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist and Mei-san. Defeating Mei-san or the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist are considered overly impressive, but defeating Mizukage-sama is just… crazy."

The blond blushed in embarrassment and waved a disapproving hand. "Lucky win, really. W-Wait, you sound like you know Mei-chan. Do you know her?"

"Hmm? Mei-chan? How suspicious."Chun-Li grinned cheerfully and nodded. "Yup, after all, the both of us are members of the Nanatsu Megami no Kiri. Of course I know about her. She is a good friend of mine."

"W-Whoa, hold up!" Naruto stroked his chin and scrutinised the brunette's physique. "Y-You're a member of the Seven Goddess of the Mist?"

"The title is an exaggeration. We're mere humans, not goddess." Chun-Li smiled. "But yes, I am a member."

"Then you must be powerful."

The brunette's cheeks flushed crimson. "N-Not really."

The children interrupted their conversation and hugged Chun-Li. "Onee-chan is the strongest woman in the village!"

A boy with an unkempt appearance growled at the blond. "You can't beat Chun-nee! She is the legendary Rankyaku no Chun-Li!" (Chun-Li of the Storm Leg)

"Mosuke!" Chun-Li reprimanded. "That's just an epithet."

Naruto shook his head and patted the brunette's shoulder. "That's awesome! You should be proud of yourself. I have always admired strong women like you. I believe woman and man are equal. You don't really need to learn how to cook to be someone else's wife, but if you know the culinary arts then that's a bonus."

Chun-Li giggled. "You're odd… and funny."

"So I've been told." The blond smirked and stood up abruptly. "So? Mind having a friendly spar with me?"

"Here?" The brunette was surprised. "You sure about that?"

Offering a hand, Naruto bowed in a debonair manner and smiled. "Would you so kindly give me the honour to fight you, Chun-chan?"

"C-Chun-chan?" Chun-Li was flustered and nodded meekly. "S-Sure. Let's do it."

X-o~O~o-X-o~O~o-X-o~O~o-X-o~O~o-X

Juri sat on her bed and tossed a few files on her table. She had 'borrowed' those classified documents from the Mizukage's office. Seizing a file with her toes, Juri grabbed the document, flipped to a particular page and she had an avid read. The psychotic smile tugged at her lips widened as she browsed through the content of the paper. "Uzumaki Naruto, I will make you my plaything. Just you wait, darling."

The woman licked her lips sultrily and crackled into a lunatic laughter. "The things I would do to you once I have you captured. You will be mine, Maki-chan!"

X-o~O~o-X-o~O~o-X-o~O~o-X-o~O~o-X

"Just a friendly spar, Chun-chan. Go easy on me." Naruto smirked as he braced himself for the inevitable. Ready in a fighting stance, the blond watched as Chun-li gracefully raised her toned leg and performed a few kicks. "Let's see how strong you are, Chun-chan."

Naruto immediately dashed forward and lunged at Chun-li, but to his surprise, she had delivered a swift kick into the blond's gut. Naruto burst into smokes, revealing to be a clone. Nevertheless, Chun-li wasn't fazed at the slightest and scanned her vicinity thoroughly. "Naruto-san must be hiding somewhere in these woods. He is good at concealing his presence; I can't even track any leakage of chakra from the forest. I just have to wait until he attacks."

In a spur of moment, three Naruto leaped into the sky and each of them crafted the same hand seals within seconds. "Katon: Dai Endan" (Fire Release: Great Flame Bullet)

Chun-li merely smirked and infused an immense amount of chakra into both of her fists. Thrusting her arms forward abruptly, the martial-artist bellowed. "Kikoken!" (Energy Work Fist)

The blazing bullets shot from the clones were nullified by a condensed chakra expulsion from Chun-Li's palm. Naruto dispersed his clone, retrieved the mandatory memories and grinned. "Oh? Kikoken? Is that her clan's secret technique? It looks like some sort of Rasengan to me. There are no seals involved; however, she releases that potent chakra, instead of holding it like I do. Very impressive."

Naruto instinctively sidestepped a kick from Chun-Li, who appeared out of nowhere. The blond parried his opponent's kick with his forearm, blocking strikes while formulating a counterattack. Chun-Li smiled as she slammed a foot on the ground before launching a devastating kick at Naruto. The blond was startled by the almighty force produced from Chun-Li's kick, which broke his defence instantly. "W-What brute strength-"

"This is it! Xiang Hijutsu: Hazan Tenshokyaku!" (Xiang's Secret Style: Supreme Heaven Arising Kick)

There was absolutely no way for Naruto to retaliate. He was sent flying into the air, kicked numerous times by the monstrous power of Chun-Li's kicks and pummelled into the ground, forming an enormous crater in his crash site. The martial artist was surprised when Naruto burst into smokes. She dropped on the ground and studied her surroundings. "He swaps himself with a clone in the last minute. His reflexes are top-notched."

"For a second, I actually thought you're trying to kill me, Chun-chan." Naruto materialised his frame behind Chun-Li and placed a hand on his hip. "What's with women and their legs? I've been meeting chicks who have a harsh kick nowadays."

"Hmm?"

"I'm sure you know a girl who goes by the name, Han Juri."

The mention of that name brought Chun-Li uneasiness. "I… know her."

"Rivalry?"

The Chinese woman shook her head and bit her lips, suppressing her unfathomable anger in the process. "N-No! Nothing of that. I… I j-just don't talk to her much. Shall we resume with our match, Naruto-kun?"

Naruto raised both hands in a surrender notion and chuckled. "No thanks. I forfeit. If I did not utilise my clones in the nick of time, you would have broken my hands and crippled me."

Chun-Li bowed apologetically and scratched her scalp in modesty. "I'm sorry. When I get into fights, I try my best to restrain myself. It isn't easy to control my strength."

The blond deadpanned as he stared apathetically at the cheerful woman. "I can see. With that kind of brute strength, I wonder whether she has any boyfriend or not."

Diverting his attention to his right, Naruto tossed a kunai to target, and the projectile sailed into a bush. Chun-Li was mortified and twisted her sight to the intruder. A silver-haired boy emerged from the grass and approached the blond with a respectful bow. "Naruto-sama, I have done with the first phase of the training regiment you have instructed. And here, your kunai."

Naruto smirked as he received his kunai and quipped, "You're pretty good there, ain't ya, brat? Catching that kunai ain't easy task, especially when I throw it. Oh, by the way, this is Chun-chan. Chun-chan, this is my little apprentice, Kimimaro."

"Kimimaro?" Chun-Li blinked in recognition. "As in, Kaguya Kimimaro? Why is he your apprentice?"

The blond shrugged. "Long story short, I found him, adopted him and made him study under my tutelage."

"That sure is interesting." Chun-Li smiled. "Why don't you come to my manor? My clan's estate is just located beside the orphanage."

"I… don't wish to impose-"

"N-No! I insist. It's the least I can do for you." The brunette grasped the blond's hand and beamed. "It has been a while since I have a good fight. It's hard to find tough opponent nowadays. I have tea, snacks and many more. Please…"

Naruto sighed as he saw Chun-Li unleashing her ultimate jutsu.

The puppy-dog pout.

"Alright, alright." Naruto conceded and patted Kimimaro's shoulder. "Kimimaro, listen up. Sometimes, there are battles that you just can't win."
