*Quick Note- Originally I didn't even think making chapters based of the movies, but someone mentioned something about it. So, I'm gonna write one. But it'll mostly follow the movie, aside from some obvious points and a few differences. Hope you'll enjoy. Also, thank you 'Royal Twin Fangs'. I never would've thought about your idea. Hopefully it'll make my story at least a little better.*
Chapter 21: Start of a New Mission
"Hey, Naruto!" Guy called, followed by Neji and Tenten. (Lee being in the hospital for an appointment)
"Hey, 'Super Bushy-Brow' sensei. What's up?" "What's up with all the attention, all of a sudden." Naruto thought, as Guy and 2/3 of his squad walked up to him.
"I just wanted to congradulate you on your promotion! Beating Neji the way you did was just incredible! Anyway, this is for you!" Said Guy, handing Naruto something wrapped up in some cloths.
"What is it? Huh, are these...guantlets?" Naruto asked, having unwrapped the cloths.
"Yes they are! They will help you deflect weapons on many sorts, including swords and staffs! I would've given Shikamaru the same gift, but he's not the close-up type."
"Hm, makes sense. Anyway, thanks alot!" Said Naruto, trying on his new guantlets.
"No problem, Naruto!" Said Guy, giving Naruto the thumbs-up.
Neji then walked up to Naruto. "Naruto, may I have a word? Alone?" Neji asked.
"Huh? What for?"
"I have something I'd like to ask you."
"Uh, sure. I guess." Said Naruto, as he started to follow Neji.
Once the two were alone, after being varified by Neji's Byakugan, Neji asked his first question. "Naruto, how is that you beat me? I could see you through the smoke bombs, yet I could see you move in the slightest."
Naruto half expected this question. But he didn't trust Neji with the answer, so he just answered another way. "I can't tell you that, Neji. It's a secret, a secret I don't trust easily to tell others. I was reluctant to tell even my team. They had to earn my trust, and they did."
"And Hinata? Why do you trust her with this secret?" Neji asked.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Naruto asked, afraid that Neji knows more than he's letting on.
"Don't treat me like a 'fool', Naruto. Lady Hinata had dropped a kuni with smoke bomb attached. It wasn't just a coincidence that she dropped the kunai at the exact moment you dropped a smoke bomb. She knows what your secret jutsu is. How?" Neji asked, annoyed that Naruto was trying to treat him like a 'fool'.
*Sigh* "Yea, she knows. But she earned my trust, more than anyone else. She discovered what my secret jutsu was along time ago. She could've told anyone, but she decided to find out why I was keeping it a secret. I'm glad she did. She knew for months before she asked me about it. That proved that I could trust her. When the 'Chunnin Exams' came around, I promised that I'd help her if she needed it. That's why she had she dropped the kunai. Anyway, you don't need to know more than that. Understand?!" Asked Naruto, in a clear but silent threat in his voice.
*Grr* *Sigh* "Fine. But, how did you defy you fate? I said it was your desiny to lose to me, yet you defeated me. How?"
"Because, I don't believe in destiny. It might be your way to cave into destiny, but it's not mine or Hinata's. She wants to change the way of the Hyuga Clan, and I plan to help her. Once I've become Hokage. Anyway, I gotta meet my team for a new mission. I'll see ya around." Naruto exlained, before turning around and leaving for the Hokage's Tower.
Neji just stood there, shocked at what he was just told. He stood there for a good few minutes, before suddenly smiling. "I see. Well, let's just see how things turn out. Either way, I'm looking forward to it." Said Neji, as he started waking back to the Hyuga compound for training.
"Hey, Grandma Tsunade. What's our next mission?" Naruto asked, as he walked into Tsunade's office.
"Quit calling me that, brat!" Tsunade yelled, annoyed at being called 'Grandma'.
"Hee hee."
"Naruto, you're a Chunnin. Act like it." Said Kakashi, before Sakura could scold and lecture Naruto about respect.
"Heheh. It's fine, Kakashi sensei. Anyway, what's the mission?" Naruto asked.
*Sigh* "You are to meet an actress, named Yukie Fujikaze. Thi..." Tsunade began.
"'Yukie Fujikaze'?! From the 'Princess Gale' movies?! Awesome! She's my favorite actress! Haha! Yeah!" Naruto cheered, as he interrupted Tsunade.
"Focus, you 'kuckle-head'!" Tsunade yelled, beginning to get impatient with Naruto.
"Heheh. Sorry, I just got excited. Hee hee!"
"'Kuckle-head'. *sigh* This is an 'A' ranked mission. You four are to protect Yukie Fujikaze, until her next movie is finished. It will be filmed in the Land of Snow. Is that understood?" Tsunade asked, as she was done explaining.
"Yes, Lady Tsunade." Kakashi replied, bowing towards the village leader.
"Yes, Lady Hokage." Replied Sasuke and Sakura, bowing as well.
"You got it, Grandma!" Said Naruto, with casual wave and his signiture smile. "Leave everything to us!"
*Sigh* "I'm starting to wonder is promoting him was the right decision." Was the thought that went through everyone's mind, except Naruto's of course.
-Land of Snow-
Inside a large throne-room, within a castle in the Land of Snow. Three ninja were kneeling before a large man with short black slicked-back hair, wearing a high-collared trench coat.
"Lord Doto, we found her. Yukie Fujikaze is in fact Princess Koyuki Kazahana. The Hex-crystal is also in her possession." Said a man with long grey hair in a ponytail.
"Good work, Nadare. Who is escorting her to the Land o Snow?" Asked the large man, identified as Doto.
"Aside from fellow cast members and the camera crew, only a single squad of Leaf ninja led by Kakashi Hatake." Replied the grey-haired man.
"Hnhn. Sound like an inevitable rematch. Right, Nadare?" Asked the only kunoichi, who wore a similar outfit to her two comrades and had two pink pig-tails.
"Enough talk. Go and greet our 'friends'. And bring the princess back here alive, with the Hex-crystal." Ordered Doto.
"Yes sir!" The three ninja replied, before going to execute their order.
-On a Boat in the Sea-
"Oh man! I'm gonna go crazy, if I have to keep watching this spoiled..." Naruto began, before Kakashi interrupted.
"Now, Naruto. You're a Chunnin, you have a duty to follow through with this mission without complaints."
"Yea, I know. But she's been a pain in the ass this whole time. First, she runs away. Second, she pepper spreys me just before she rips apart the autograph I asked for. Third, she gets drunk and bad-mouths her own profession. And let's not forget that she almost ran over some kids with a horse, and she never bothered to appologized." Naruto explained, continuing his ranting.
*Sigh* "Let it go, Naruto." Said Kakashi.
*Sigh* "Fine. But I'm not gonna like it." Naruto replied.
I know it's been too long, and I'm sorry. I've been trying to think up ways on how I can changesome things, that I forgot about finishing this chapter. The next update will be faster, I promise. Thank you for following, please review.
