(Howdy all Espo here.
As you can see I am writing again. I will be working my hardest to pump out some new chapters, since the proof reading took way longer than I had thought. You can blame festive times, my own laziness, work, and sickness.
As it is I am back and I will be uploading all fully proof read chapters soon to the stories they belong and will post proof read in any stories that are as such.
I also plan on bring in 4 new stories. One will be a small one to three chapter story. The others will be full fledged Fanfictions.
Sorry again for taking so long and please enjoy, and please review.
And lastly before i forget this did take a slight rewrite, not much though. Mostly once i uploaded the proof read chapters you will noticed i solved an issue for Naruto learning about the different generation.
He will now only be able to learn about the next Generation Gen 3 once he has completed his training with Generation 2. I did this as a way to make it so i can add in Generation 6 if need be, and any other Generations that might come along without making a confusing reason as to how he never noticed them before.

Chapter 19
Naruto sighed as Hinata, Yugito, and he made their way across increasingly deeper snow. Not a far ahead the last city in the northing part of the Land of clouds that had boats that could reach the Land of Snow. Yugito walked beside them no longer bound, but not willing to fight them anymore, as her reason to fight had been taken from her. At the last town they had passed through Naruto had gotten a Bingo Book to help settle Yugito's worries about being placed in it.
Sadly this backfired rather badly on Naruto. Later that night at after setting up came they opened it up to check it. And not even two pages into the section for the missing cloud ninja her name and picture was placed. As well as an A-rank for her rank of danger. Naruto and Hinata could not help but stare at the bingo book in shock. Yugito broke down on them crying a little to herself about how unfair life was.
Hinata and Naruto at once setting about helping her feel better. Saying it was not her fault she was placed in the book that it was their own and they were sorry for it happening. It was nearly an hour later before she was starting to feel much like her normal self when she told them it was probably not their fault. She explained there had been actually a lot of people out to get her at her old village for one reason for another.
What finally brought Yugito back to her normal self fully was when Naruto cut her bindings that held her hands and feet together. Before both Hinata and Naruto gave her a hug again saying they were sorry. Yugito smiled lightly and thanks them both for at least caring for her, even if she was still technique the enemy. Sighing she pocketed the book and looked at the two of them before shaking her head. Saying she could not believe what she was about to do, but since she was now a missing ninja of the cloud village she would help them find safety. Rather than taking them in as proof she had not become a missing ninja.
As such she was the one who was buying the three tickets that would be needed to make the last leg of the journey to the Land of Snow. Once she had them she met with Naruto, and Hinata who were both waiting for her with three steaming cups of hot chocolate at a nearby store. Taking her cup she hand them each a ticket before thanking them for getting her one as she took a sip almost burning her mouth with the drink.
Hinata smiled as she looked at the ticket before pocketing it, "Thanks again Yugito."
"You are welcome, just remember don't lose it. I used the last of my money to get these, as my ninja paper would only send up red flags," Yugito said taking another sip of her drink.
Naruto nodded before taking a drink saying, "We know and will be careful Yugito."
Yugito nodded looking out over the land before letting out a small sigh, she was sure this would be the last time she would see her native land for a while. T,urning to Naruto she then asked, "So once we get to the Land of Snow, how are we going to make a living? I know the money you have left on you we will be needed for food and shelter in the coming days."
"Well we can take basic jobs I am sure," Naruto said noticing their rather lack of happiness towards this idea of simple jobs.
"That sounds too much like D rankers all over again," Yugito said looking at him annoyed.
"It will only be until the news of us all leaves our own villages has finally blown over and settled. Then we could change jobs say Bounty Hunters or high grade guards," Naruto said, "Or anything we can come up with."
Yugito nodded, "Okay, I can agree to that, as much as a normal life would be nice..."
"It would be to boring for us to want to remain in it," Naruto finished.
"Agreed," Hinata said with a slight smile before taking a small drink of her hot chocolate.
"Good now before we talk anymore we should get to the boat," Yugito said leading the way out of the show into the snow filled streets.
Naruto and Hinata followed her into the street moving quickly to stay warm in the cold freezing cold. Soon they found the boat that would be taking them to the Land of Snow and boarded at once. Once on board they made their way to the cabin they would be staying in for the trip over and carefully locked the door and covered the windows. Yugito knew that there was nearby ninja patrol and she did not want to risk getting seen and fight breaking out.
Once they were sure they were safe from being seen or found they sat down on their beds and did a quick check on what they still had felt that was of any uses outside their clothing. Naruto was doing pretty good as he still had his world atlas, his chakra gem and some of the chakra seals as well. Hinata had a good deal less outside some basic ninja weapons, for she had been forced to pack and leave quickly or her family would have noticed.
Yugito had the next most amount of usefully ninja tools as when she had left to follow them she was fully packed. Plenty of Kunai, throwing stars, ninja wire, chakra, and blood piles, though, all her food rations had been eaten already on the journey up. She also had some good ninja cloaks. When asked about it she said that everyone was given a full weeks worth since the Land if Lighting got colder quicker than most others, and freak snow storms were always possible. Meaning she would keep them stocked with weapons for a little bit, as well as kept warm even if the clothes would have to be refitted for Naruto and Hinata.
Naruto sighed slightly seeing there almost less than adequate supplies for the next few weeks. As well as the little money they did have, which was only enough for loggings a day or two as well as meals for those days. Looking at the others he nodded as they began to work on refitting the cloaks so Naruto and Hinata had two that would fit them. After this was done they sealed up their things again and sat back down on their beds waiting for the boat to leave port.
As they waited though Yugito spoke up and asked, "So Naruto you never told me much about your summons."
Naruto nodded, "Yes I know, I have not forgotten."
Hinata nodded remember the two nights before they had gotten to this port city that they had told each other their own pasts leaving nothing out. Naruto was the only one to leave something out as he said when he told them he would also let them meet Kyuubi so they could learn about the contract from the one who had actually made it. Rather than from just Naruto, who was still learning a lot from it.
"So we get to see Kyuubi today?" Yugito asked.
"No not today, as I said had my reasons for waiting and not summoning Kyuubi. Remember no matter how I go about it, when I summoned him even in his smaller forms I still put out enough chakra for a large and very power jutsu," Naruto said getting a nodded and an annoyed look from the girls.
"Fine but you had better hold true to that promise," Hinata said with a slight glare.
"I will, I will," Naruto said in a defeated tone.
Yugito laughed light as she glanced out the window and noticed the boat had shifted and was moving slowly out of port. She got up and looked out the window before smiling. They were indeed headed out of port, so turning back to the others she smiled.
"Okay. We are on our way out of port. Let us hope this new life is just as good if not better than our old ones," Yugito said getting a smile and a nod from both Naruto and Hinata.
Yugito smiled to herself feeling surprisingly happy as she sat back down her bed before deciding to take a nap to make the long hours of the trip to pass quickly. Naruto and Hinata copied her idea and soon the whole group was asleep. Though, as they slept none of them noticed two creatures peer into the cabin through the hole in the curtains. They two creatures watched them for a few moments before noticing the summon scroll that Naruto had next to him. They nodded to each other before disappearing without a trace.
