I know it has been awhile since I worked on this sorry and I just been stuck on where to go, I guess. I don't know.

Like always I do now own Naruto or Shadow Skill

Chapter 13

Princess or a Shinobi

"I Believe it would be best if we have a ball as a coming out party for me. This will allow the other Nations to know that the Land of Demons still stands strong and the Royal line doesn't end with you Uncle Dais. But it would end with myself as well it will show you have a strong alliance with the Land of Fire." Said Narita.

All eyes were on the girl for she had come on with this plan on the fly. No one had thought about having a ball placing her in the open to set her as bait so her attacker would make a move.

Ibiki smirked. "That might work brat. Too bad I didn't think of that." He said as he padded the girl on the shoulder.

"I believe Ino should go as her double." Said Kurenai as she looked at the two blonde girls.

"No, it wouldn't work. Even with a well place genjutsu we still move way too different from each other. As well it would appear odd that once of the girls are missing from the mission." Said Narita as she looked over at the crimson eye woman.

"Yeah. We've tried that once in the Academy and Shikamaru saw right thought it." Said Ino with a sheepish smile.

"Troublesome blondes. You both need more work on going undercover. Well more you Ino for Narita as gotten into T&I as your father and Ibiki several times already and as my father. Only reason she got caught was she didn't make sure they were not in the village at the time." Said Shikamaru as he sighed looking at the two girls.

"Also, I would need special dresses made for myself and the girls. Something light weight but would pass for ladies of the court. We are shinobi. We are deadly and I rather be deadly then some painted little doll sitting up high." Said Narita as the adults nodded their heads to what she was saying.

"Then we will set up security around the palace and the ballroom for the up coming ball. For I know it will take times to get the nobles and others from other lands here." Said Ibiki.

Everyone nodded their heads to this.

Off in the swamps

"Zabuza-sama?" Question a young voice from the shadows.

Zabuza looked from the window from his large chair. "Yes, Haku?" He asked.

"What are we going to do? This isn't sitting right with me." Said Haku." As she walked out of the shadows.

Zabuza grunted. "I know. I know I have done many things in my past that labeled me as a demon. But what these men are planning for the girl. It is disgusting." He said with a look of disgust on his face.

Haku nodded his head to this. "Then shall we still ally with them or turn on the hand that is feeding us?" He asked his Master.

Palace

Several of the Land of Demon's finest of dressmakers where called to the royal palace to make dresses for the young Princess and her court.

A beautiful battle dress in midnight blue and black was made for Narita that the skirt was able to be removed. Dresses alight where made for the other girls and the two female Jonins.

Narita planned to pair her battle fans with her gown for the ball that night. She also planned for light pieces of jewelry. Nothing that she would miss if she broke it in battle. So, she declines wearing her family jewelry was an understatement.

"It has been a long day. We have several days before the ball. So, I am going to my room to lay down." Said Narita.

The others nodded their heads as Dias had gone to decide for the ball.

Vy had gone to inform his little partner in crime of the upcoming ball.

Town

Vy walks into a normal looking office for a normal looking shipping company.

Troll of a man sat behind a large desk doing paperwork. Said troll looked up at the shadow that was cast over him. "Hello Vy. What brings you to my office?" He asked as if this has something to do with business.

"My new King will be having a Ball into interduce his niece to the world. All local business owners are invited to the ball that will be happening in two weeks' time." Said Vy.

Gato narrow his eyes at the man before him. "That is wonderful news. But I had no idea that the new King had a niece." Said Gato playing the fool for in his office he had locals working and he didn't want to tip his hand.

"Yes, she is the daughter of the late Forth Hokage and late Prince Minato Namikaze and his late wife Kushina Uzumaki." Said Vy with a smile. 'Our plans are being moved up to two weeks' time you old fool.'

"I did not know these was still a living member of the Uzumaki family and let alone the royal family." Said Gato. 'Fine you bastard. I will have everything ready for that night.'

"Well I must be off. I have many to inform of the upcoming ball." Said Vy as he bowed and left the office.

'This just means we have to move things up. Nothing we can't handle. Anyways I need to be moving onto the Land of Wave.' Thought Gato as he wants back to his paperwork.

Palace

Narita went to her bedroom and jumped onto her massive bed. The other girls fallowed after along with Kurenai and Anko.

Narita yawned as she closed her eyes fallowing asleep quickly. She didn't even bother changing out of her dress. So, the young maids quickly moved and changed the girl while she slept.

"Jeez. She can sleep though anything." Complained Sakura as she just glared at Narita as she and the others got dressed for bed.

"Well unlike us. She has had a very busy day." Said Ino as she rolled her eyes at the pinkette.

Sakura just puffed out her cheeks and went to her bed and pulled the covers over her head. The others just rolled their eyes at her.

Narita's mindscape

"Alright Kurama-sensei I'm ready." Said Narita as she was ready to train. She was bored out of her mind from her damn day of doing nothing but looking like a doll.

Kurama look down at the girl as he was sitting before her. "Will be teaching you my fighting style. My jutsus. You will be my heir at the end of this and you may have a beautiful tail and ears as well." Said Kurama with a devilish grin.

Narita looked up at him with wide eyes and then a huge grin. "REALLY!" She squealed as she was jumping around him.

Kurama just sweat dropped at the girls antics. "I'm glad you are alright with those changes." He said with a smirk.

"So, I guess the first step is chakra control?" Asked Narita as she knew his chakra was different from humans.

"Yup. So, make about 50 clones and have them meditate while I have you work on the katas on my fighting style. The shadow skill is a good style and not many can battle against it. But there are other styles that can give it a run. So, I want you to be able to have a backup. Maybe even work both style into one and make a new style." Said Kurama as he shrank down into a human from. He was about 6ft 6 with long red hair and crimson eyes. He grins at the girl as she blushes looking up at him.

"Does my little kit have a crush on me?" Asked Kurama with a chuckle.

"No-nooo. Shut up and get teaching Kurama-sensei." Said Narita.

Ella watched from the shadows. "He is right. There is always another style or fighter that can better then yourself." She said to herself as she went back to what she was doing.

Next Morning

Narita woke up sore the next morning. "Man, slave driver." She grumbled to herself.

Slowly she climbed out of bed and slowly moved to the bathroom to take a nice long bath. She was truly in need of it after last night.

Slowly undressing Narita got into the bath and swam around a little as the others slowly fallow in after her.

"Morning brat." Said Anko as she got into the large bath.

"Morning Anko. Are the others joining us soon?" Asked Narita as she was now in the center of the large bath.

"Yes, I was just getting everyone up." Came the voice of Kurenai-sensei as she was fallowed in by Ino. Hinata, and lastly Sakura.

"Are you excited about the ball Narita?" Asked Ino as she go into the bath.

Narita shook her head no. "Not really. I am not in the mood for all the suiters to be coming full force again."

"Yeah I don't blame you." Said Anko.

"Why not? You can be a Queen and have any guy you want. Well not any guy. For Sasuke-kun in mine." Said Sakura.

Narita rolled her eyes. "Trust me you can keep the teme. I don't want him. All these asshats that have been coming to "try to be my suiters" just want me for my titles, not for me. I want to marry for love. Not because of duty or title."

"Whatever. I would do it." Said Sakura.

"Even if it meant losing your Sasuke-kun?" Asked Narita as she glares at the girl.

Sakura turns away. "Well no. I want him to be mind."

"Well forehead you got your answer." Said Ino with a grin.

"Whatever." Said Sakura with a huff.

"Alright girls that is enough. It is going to be a long day. We have training and other things to do today." Said Kurenai.

"Hai Kurenai-sensei." Said all the girls as Anko just grinned at her best friend.

Narita had left over 200 clones in her mindscape to work with Kurama. Ella hadn't felt like training lately. But it was mostly she knew the foxes time was growing short. This Narita knew she needed to tell her Uncle about and maybe Ibiki and the others. But she did fear how they would react to her "changes".

After an hour they had gotten dress and Narita and the girls in battle kimonos and ready for the day. Still Sakura refusing to wear one of the beautiful kimonos. Oh well her lost.

Dais stood in the hallway. "Narita. You will be doing some more royal training." He told her as she pouted. "Come on stop your pouting. You know this will help you as well once you become Hokage. If that is still your dream once you leave here." He tells his niece as she looks up at him a little confuse.

"Why wouldn't I want to be Hokage?" Asked Narita a little confused.

"Well you are in training to become a Sevaar. The title that was once held by your Grandmother and our Great Grandmother Elle Ragu." Said Dais as he smiled at the girl.

"Oh. How do I get the title?" Asked Narita a little curious.

"Well three days after the ball will be the Land of Demons Sevaar tournament." Said Dais.

Narita's eyes grew wide as she looked at Kakashi-sensei. "Can I take part?" She asked the silver hair Jonin.

"I'm not sure. Your team isn't ready yet for a tournament at that leave." Said Kakashi.

Dais just laughed as he looked over at Kakashi. "This isn't a team-based tournament. It is a single based one. So, I believe Narita would do just fine in it. I know the pink one still has a lot to go before she would even think about taking part. Her other teammate. Maybe in a year or two he would be ready." He told Kakashi.

Kakashi raised an eyebrow to this. "Are you sure Narita would do fine in it?" He questions.

"Yes, no I am not looking at her as my niece. But as a shinobi or a warrior. She is very skilled and very unpredictable and that will help her greatly on the battlefield and in the tournament." Said Dais.

"What makes you think. I an Uchiha isn't ready for a tournament like that?" Asked Sasuke as Sakura fangirl behind him stroking his ego even more.

"This right here proves you are not ready for something like this tournament. Maybe taking part in the Chunin exams will help put you in check." Said Dais as he glares at the boy before him.

They went on with their day. The sensei's took their teams to train while Anko watched over the young girl and her uncle.

It has been two weeks and it was the night of the ball Vy and Gato had met up several times laying out their plans.

Zabuza had his own plan and sold out his troll of a boss. Ibiki was glad to pay the ninja's price. It was very simple. Take Haku and protect him. Maybe allow him to join the village as well. For he was tried of running and there was foreseen end to the bloodline civil war at any time soon.

Zabuza had been set up to work as Security and Haku wait staff. This lead Vy and Gato to believe their plan was on trace when they were wrong as hell.

Narita in her beautiful gown along with the girls. For this Sakura was for once was wearing Narita wanted her to wear.

Even Anko was in a beautiful gown form her fishnet outfit. Needless to say. She cleaned up nice.

Next time the battle and will Narita become a Sevaar or wait?
