I'm doing my best to catch up on all my stories. I finally was able to get a new laptop

Chapter 12

Narita jumped around the room with joy. For she wasn't going to wear the god forsaking ball gowns.

"Where are the battle gowns?" Asked Narita as she looked to her maids.

"Allow us to pull them from the Late Queens closet." Said one of the maids as Narita looked shocked and sadden at the same time.

Hinata walked up to her friend and placed her hand on Narita's shoulder and softly smiled at her. "Don't be sad. Be happy for you are honoring your late grandmothers battle gowns." She told her. Narita just nodded her head as she moved her right hand up to rub the tears from her eyes.

Ino and Sakura looked at the other two girls. "They have to be amazing like these gowns." Said Ino as she smiles at her fellow blonde.

Sakura just shock her head. "You're crazy for not wanting to wear these dresses. But look at who I am talking to. The only girl that many would mistake for a boy if you ever cut all your hair off." She said with a long sigh.

Everyone looked at the pinkette like she had gone out of her mind. "Billboard brow. You know Narita doesn't like dresses and there is trouble coming her way and, in those dresses, will not allow her to fight. She needs something loose fitting to fight in and these dresses are way to heavy and bulky for her to even move in." Said Ino as she just shook her head at her best friend enemy.

After just sitting in a sports bra and boy shorts Narita was falling asleep waiting for her hand maids to return with her new dresses.

"Kit." Said Kurama as he laid down. He needed to speak to the child and inform her that very soon she will begin her training.

Out of a veil of mist Narita appeared before Kurama. Ella had gone off somewhere to sleep or something. He didn't care.

"Yeah Kurama?" Asked Narita as she walked up to the giant fox.

His crimson eyes slowly open to look down at her. "We need to start your training tonight. I can not put it off any longer. For the longer we wait the lesser time I have to teach you." He told her.

Slowly she nodded her head. "Fine Kurama-sensei. Just let me know when we take it out into the real world." She told him.

Just as she appeared, she faded away once more.

"This will test her will and spirit. I just hope it doesn't break her." Kurama thought to himself.

Back in the bedroom

Narita blinked a few times as she was once again listening to Sakura complaining about how unrefined she is and how of all the people in this world. That Narita is the princess of three different lands.

"Oh, shut up!" Said Hinata. All eyes went to the quiet girl and everyone was shocked with her outburst.

"Wow Hinata I can't believe you could ever speak this loud." Said Ino as she laughed at Sakura turning red from embarrassment.

'I need some quiet time to myself. After I'm dressed, I'll slip into the library away from Sakura.' Thought Narita as she looked to the opening door.

Just then three maids walked into the room. "My Lady we have brought several dresses that we hope you will like." Said the youngest of the three maids.

They walked over to the bed and laid them on the bed. The first one was all black with silver butterflies and silver obi. The second is a silver battle kimono with a black obi and the final battle kimono purple with a light purple obi. She looked over the three-battle kimonos.

"I think I'll wear the black battle kimono." Said Narita as she picked up the battle kimono and slipped it on and the youngest of the three maids help the girl with the silver obi.

Sakura just scuffed at Narita and walked out of the room. Ino and Hinata just rolled their eyes at the pinkette. They have grown tired of her bitching as they watched Narita finished dressing with black knee-high battle boots and black elbow length fingerless gloves.

"Wow, Narita your grandma had style. I wish my grandma had this kind of style." Said Ino as she looked at the other two battle kimonos. "Could I barrow the purple kimono?" She asked.

Narita smiled. "You both can wear those two battle kimonos." She told them.

Both girls looked at each other smiles as they rushed over to the bed and pulled off their outfits and changed quickly into their respected kimonos.

Kakashi stood outside of Narita's room and just watched Sakura walk out of the girls' room.

"Stupid Narita." Said Sakura as stormed down the hallway.

Shikamaru looked up at Kakashi. "What is her problem?" He asked.

"She just jealous about Narita becoming a Princess and all eyes are off her and on someone who she believes is below her." Said Kakashi as he went back to reading his book.

Shikamaru just sighed and shook his head. "Troublesome."

Just then the door open and out came Narita, Ino, and Hinata. All three girls looked stunning in their battle kimonos.

"Wow." Said Choji as he was shocked to see them.

Shikamaru and Kiba just nodded their heads in agreement along with Shino who stepped out of the shadows he was hiding in.

"Maybe you boys should ask one of those girls out sometime." Said Asuma as he just grinned at them.

Sasuke just scuffed at the older man and walked off going down the hallway away from them all.

Narita just rolled her eyes. "Is there anyway I could get a different team?" She asked as she looked at Kakashi and Asuma.

Kurenai came walking up to them and smiled at the three girls. "Hello girls. Ibiki would like Narita to come to the library." She told the girl.

Narita nodded her head and slowly walked down the south hallway to the library to where Ibiki awaited her.

"Why didn't anyone go with her?" Asked Shino as he looked at the three Jonin before him.

They looked at the boy and back at each other and quickly Kakashi vanished in a swirl of leaves going after his student while the others ran down the hallway.

Narita walked into the library to see Ibiki standing over by the window over looking the south garden. He could see Sakura pacing back and forth, saying something under her breath. He shook his head as he turned away from the window.

'That girl shouldn't be allowed to continue being a shinobi. I should look into having her pulled from the program.' Ibiki thought to himself as he looked over at Narita as she entered the library.

"Nice hiding spot Ibiki." Said Narita as she walked over to the table, he had his paperwork littering the table.

"It was the only quiet place in this whole place. As well, this is the only room that isn't bugged." Said Ibiki.

Narita laughed at what she was told. "Yeah, I found a few bugs in the throne room. As I found one in my room as well as the hot spring." She told the head of T&I.

Ibiki raised his eyebrow as he looked over the girl. "Do you have any idea's who was the one that planned it?" He asked.

"Yeah, I have one in mind and I believe you are thinking of the same person." Said Narita.

"Vy." Said Ibiki as a shadow over took his face.

"The one and only. He has been watching me in the throne room as well in the dinning room. Kyubi has told me. That my food has been poisoned several times. But I didn't want to worry everyone. So, I kept quiet about it." Said Narita.

Ibiki's hands tighten into fist as he looked at the girl before him. "You should have said something about it to me or even Anko. Hell, you could have told Kakashi." He said as he growled walking up to the girl.

Kakashi stood in the doorway as he heard what Narita just said. His eye was wide as he was pale as a ghost. "I'm going to kill that man." He said as he turned to go hunt down Vy.

"Don't you dare Kakashi." Said Ibiki as he voices promised him pain and suffering for whatever he was planning do to this shady man.

The others had caught up to them. Asuma and Kurenai had puzzles looks on their faces as to the look of rage on Kakashi with a small mix of fear and Ibiki killer intent was rolling off him in waves as Narita just stood, they're just looking at her sensei and the others before him.

"What did we just miss?" Asked Asuma as he walked up to Kakashi trying to push the man into the library.

"That bastard has been poisoning her. This whole time that bastard is trying to kill her. The only thing stopping him is that she is special and if it wasn't for who she is tied to…..." Kakashi couldn't finish what he was saying for he was being over come by his emotions and this wasn't good for he thought he had better control over his emotions.

Asuma's eyes widen as what Kakashi just said sunk in. He was about to turn around and storm off after the man. "Don't you dear." Said Narita as her voice broke the silence.

Everyone in the room looked over at the girl.

Narita just shook her head as her hair cover her eyes. "We will not move on him. We need to do this right and any miss step could endanger my uncle and this land. For we need to find the puppet master that is working behind the sense." She told everyone.

"She does have a point. For it we move now. He will know that we are on to him. For now, we should just leave him in the shadows." Said Shikamaru.

"I know he is questioning himself at this moment for ever poison he has tried on me hasn't worked and he has even tried mixing a few." Said Narita.

Some creepy shadowy place

"Gato-san just remember our plan. I will give you control of all the shipping and you give me control of this country. For those two fools of the Namikaze family are fools and don't know shit." Said Vy.

Gato smirked at the man. "Yes, I know. But a little birdy told me that the girl is the lost Princess of Konoha, the land of Whirlpools, and now the land of Demons. She has a very heft price on her head if she was sold to the right person." The shrimp told the man.

"I can careless about that trash. I have been trying to kill her for a while now." Said Vy as he scoffed at the man for even talking about the girl.

Gato sneered at Vy. "Well stop trying to kill her. After her uncle is no more, we could sell her as a concubine to the highest bidder. For the Daughter of Minato would bring in a heft fee." He said with a laugh.

Vy looked over at the man. 'He does have a point and I will need the funds for whatever is to come.' He thought to himself.

"Fine, I'll let her live for now. But this is something I do not plan to regret in the future." Said Vy as he turned away from Gato.

"Ha-ha. Fine." Said Gato as he waved off the man.

'That fool. I'll kill him what he is no longer useful to me.' Thought Gato as he turns away with his chair. He looked out the window behind his desk. "Soon, it will all be mine and mine alone."

Off in the shadows stood Zabuza as he listens into the two men as they talked. 'The girl is turning into something very special the more I hear about her.' He thought to himself.

Zabuza faded away.

Back with Narita

Dais walked into the library. He looked around as he saw Kakashi, Asuma, and Ibiki with rage written all over their faces. He looked over at Kurenai.

She looked away from him and down at the floor.

"What have I missed?" He asked everyone in the room.

"Someone has been poisoning me." Said Narita as she looked up at her uncle.

"What?!" Said Dais was horrified from what he just learned.

"The one we believe that is behind it is Vy." Said Ibiki as he looked up at the Prince.

Dais just stood there. His world was spinning, and the whispers of his kingdom did have him on edge for awhile and he did hope with the return of his brother this would stop whatever that was going on in the shadows that will hurt his kingdom.

"I wish I could turn a blind eye to his actions. But it looks like the plan I had was no more. Now I have to find away to set him up." Said Dais.

"Let's stop thinking about this and get down to business." Said Narita as she sat down at the table where Ibiki had been working at.

Okay I think this is good enough for now and we will pick up where I left off here. For we will focus on what Kurama wants to do with Narita and how she will progress in Shadow Skill.
