Chapter 39: Snowfall
The chase was on as the Princes Gale looking woman was riding her horse throughout the town, she crashed with some moving carts, destroying bottles, ruining food and even taking a large brown sign made of cloth. She then grabbed it to remove it from her horse as she then threw it at her persecutors. Though this didn't hinder them in the slightest as they continued their pursuit.
Up on the roof tops, we see our favorite trio watching what was happening as they were just behind them.
Naruto was talking point as his eyes were glued to the Princess Gale actor. "Ok! So what's the plan?" He asked the girls as they kept running and hopping each building.
Hinata activated her veinless Byakugan to quickly analyse both the area and where the chase was heading, once she was satisfied she nodded to her plan. "Alright, they appeared to be normal samurai with no real knowledge or use of chakra, so I believe that best course of action should be separating the persecutors and leading the woman away to safety. Naruto-kun should dispatch a few shadow clones to give us enough time to replace the woman with one of us in a transformation jutsu. Then the other will help out the one that in the transformation to capture them while the last one takes the woman to safety." She explain in great detail the plan.
"I'm alright with that plan, so who is going to be assign what?" Satsuki asked.
"Naruto-kun should be the one to keep her safe while we dispatch the persecutors." Hinata suggested while pointing one finger upward in an intelligent manner.
"Aw. . .how come Naru-kun gets to meet Princess Gale first Nata-chan!" Satsuki whined in a childish manner with a pout.
"Because if by chance we fail to capture them all, he can quickly dispatch them." Hinata quickly replied. When she heard Satsuki mumble still sounding childish, Hinata couldn't help but to giggle. "Now I will be the one in the transformation, so that way when they think the got me, Satsuki-chan will attack them from the rear." She then finalized.
"So a pincer attack, huh?" Kurama deducted. "Not bad strategy." He soon commented with a smirk.
"Yeah! I like it a lot!" Naruto replied with a big happy grin on his face.
Satsuki just pouted in a cute manner once again at that replied. "Your just agreeing because you get to meet Princess Gale all by yourself and get an autograph first!" She accused. "I want an autograph too!" She then wine.
Naruto for his part kept grinning as he just admitted Satsuki was right.
"Now isn't the time for that. . ." Hinata remarked as she pointed ahead. "They're starting to gain some ground on her." She added.
This made the other two to snap back to the situation at hand and nodded in seriousness. Soon, they then separated to fulfill the plan.
Unbeknownst to them, many shadowy figures were following close behind them, but the strange thing was that the leader was grinning widely while their followers had annoyed expressions.
Meanwhile, the Princess Gale was indeed losing ground as the persecutor where hot on her heels. Many of the civilians either jumps or quickly got out of the way as the many horses were right behind her.
Then one of the persecutors looked to the one on his right and he gave him a silent order, which he nodded in response as he then broke out of the formation and headed through an alley. The chase continue on as the princess was forced to take a right at the three way pass, unfortunately that was what the persecutors wanted, as the previous one the had broken off the formation was waiting right in front of her.
At the sight of the one blocking her path, she was forced to hold her horse or risked hitting the innocent civilians. But this too was the intention of the one that had blocked her path, as he then threw a big capturing net at her. But before the net could reach them. . .
WHISH! SHINK!
The sound of whirling of multiple shurikens could be heard as they rip apart the capturing net as then soon were impeded into the ground.
"Huh!?" The one that threw the net got out in startlement. then he heard something about him when he turn up he saw Naruto heading straight at him.
When Naruto was close enough, he then made his signature seal as a few shadow clones came into being.
Taking this opportunity, the princess made her get away while the persecutors that were in the front and back were knocked down by the clones, horse and all.
Then one of the persecutor that didn't had a black samurai armor continued to on. "After her! Don't let her get away!" He ordered as he and the rest passed the clones and continued their pursuit.
The real Naruto just grin at this as he then left the clones with the incapacitated persecutors.
"Oh no you don't dattebakon!" Satsuki playfully got out.
"Looks like the plan is going well." Hinata stated as they both were already ahead of both the princess and the persecutors.
The princess meanwhile was far enough that she couldn't see the men anymore, but she didn't look happy in the slightest as she continued to ride her horse.
Then out of nowhere, a orange blur came and snatch her right of her horse, startling the princess greatly as they both when to another direction.
When the princess was out of sight, Hinata jumped on to the horse and made a hand seal, she quickly turn into the princess as she continue to ride the horse. No sooner she finished this, the persecutors finally catch up to her.
She then when down a stone stairs to try and evade them, but the persecutors threw some round containers with brown liquids in them. When the containers hit the stairs they shattered and released the liquid. This made the horse lose it's balance and couldn't run anymore as it and the transformed Hinata roll on the floor.
"Now!" The one without armor ordered as he pointed at the fallen girl and on command all of the samurai wearing persecutors jumped out of their horses and dogpile the girl. The man then slowly stopped his horse with a smile on his face. "We finally caught her." He said with much happiness in his tone.
Then the capture "princess" struggle to get up as she then delivered a palm strike at the one nearest to her, sending him flying. When she did this she undo her transformation and the saw that it was Hinata.
The man gasp at the sight of this. "Who are you!?" He asked as Hinata struggled to free herself. But no sooner this happen Satsuki appeared right behind him with a very pissed off expression, only paling as he heard the cracking of knuckles.
Satsuki then punched his face in, knocking him off his horse as he then turn to the men holding down Hinata with an even more terrifying look. "I suggest you release my fellow fiancé before this gets messy dattebakon." She soon threatened as her hair was beginning to raise up in nine portions.
This made the persecutors to look at Satsuki with terrified expression underneath their masks as they then released Hinata and tried to escape.
But as they were running away, the same people in the shadows were waiting for them. "Ok, I gotta admit that they are good." The leader then admitted as they soon smirk evilly. "And you idiots had to go and ruin my plan!" The leader shouted as the rest of followers soon began to beat the snot out of all the persecutors via stepping on their faces and easily knocking them out.
Hinata and Satsuki could only looked on in confusion at the sight of just who was now beating the poor persecutors. "What are you guys doing here?" They asked in unison, already figuring out who it was.
The leader's group then palmed their faces as they grabbed their leader by the collar. "I apologize for this Hinata-sama, this was her idea." A familiar mature teenage voice said.
Satsuki was dragging the unconscious leader of the persecutors as she let go of him. "Once again dattebakon. . .why are you guys here?" She then deadpanned the question with slightly narrowed eyes.
The followers turn to look at their leader with an annoyed expression on their faces, while said leader could only look away from the intense and annoyed eyes of her followers.
"Well. . ." A very familiar female began with a very irritated tone.
Flashback no jutsu!
The freshly new yet very annoyed Chunins were walking around a very happy Ino.
"Are you completely serious about this Ino?" Tenten asked in a slightly annoyed tone.
Ino who was simply grinding not even looking at her. "Right or not, your sensei and the Hokage-sama agreed to it." She responded with a very victorious look on her face.
"And how exactly did they agree to this?" Neji soon questioned.
Ino then gave off a cocky smile as she looked at the group. "Let's just say that Tsunade-sama was left off on a bad note with Satsuki-chan and Naruto. So when I told her about my little 'mission', she was happy to let me go out and do it." She replied very vaguely. "That and I came in during one of her rants. . .I never thought Satsuki-chan would get under the Hokage's skin so easily. . .maybe that's why she agreed that this will annoyed the hell of Satsuki-chan if I said that she needed a babysitter until they get to the boat.". She thought to herself as she giggled at the memory of Tsunade's rant. "And as for your sensei, well. . .all I said was that it's a very youthful thing to do an escort so that our fellow comrades are safe until they get to their destination, right?" She added with a shit eating grin.
Tenten smacked her face to that along with Neji at how their friend was able to convince their teacher. "You know. . .I did I thought our sensei wouldn't see past her scheming talk when she said youth. . ." Was all she had to say on the subject.
Ino's smile didn't leave her face as it then changed into a more cocky one. "Well you learn a thing or two when you're under the same roof for a month." She reminded.
"I'm ashamed that I know our sensei little long admit that he is our sensei. . ." Neji groaned out as never had he felt so embarrassed of his eccentric sensei.
"What do you mean? I think it's a very youthful thing to do!" A fully recovered Lee commented with shiny eyes as he had a slightly unconscious Kin in his arms. "We haven't been in a mission with Naruto-kun and the rest of team seven! I for one am happy to be with them even if is just until they get to their boat!" He added with passion.
"YOU ALREADY RECOVERED!?" Tenten then exclaimed as she then looked at the unconscious Kin and could only sweatdrop. "Why am I not surprise. . ." She thought to herself.
"And why are we going along?" Fū asked as she was in the middle of this crazy situation, she was annoyed for being involved in this scheme of Ino, but like Lee she too wanted to go on a mission with Team Seven.
"Yeah! Why the hell are we going too!" Kiba shouted in annoyance.
"Tsunade-sama's orders." Ino quickly answered with a grin in her face, just to the annoyance of the dog user. "She wanted the all of us to go onto this mission after reading our reports from the Danzō Konoha Invasion Incident as sort of our first official Chunin mission without our senseis." She added. "And Gai-sensei was 100% agreed to it really help make them come with me." She added in her mind.
"While I don't mind escorting Hinata-sama," Neji began as he still having an annoyed expression. "I feel used. . ." He then finished.
"Same here. . ." Kiba agreed with narrow eyes.
"Well I think this is going to be fun!" Chōmei shouted as he came out of Fū's seal in his chibi form and began to dance in cheerfulness and excitement. "I finally get to spent more time with Nii-san!" He added.
"So we are only observe and provide support to Team Seven until they and their client are ready to leave for the Land of Snow via boat." Shino stated as he finally made his presence known, as he once again getting to the main point.
"As troublesome as it is. . .that's that. . ." Shikamaru responded as he walked beside his chubby best friend who had an enormous amount of chips on his person, while he rubbed the back of his head in annoyance. "And a mission is a mission. . .as troublesome as it could be. . ." He added as he gave a small annoyed look at his female teammate.
"Can it Shikamaru! You don't see Chōji complaining." Ino retorted.
"That's because you baited him with his favorite chips." Shikamaru deadpanned.
"Munch, munch. . ." Was all the chubby boy had to get out.
"Wow. . .Who knew he was easily bribed with such a cheap bags of chips. . ." Kiba got out as he sweatdropped with Akamaru yipped in agreement.
Kai!
Satsuki merely palmed her face as she looked at the group. " I CAN'T BELIEVE OBAA-CHAN DID THIS! BABYSITTERS!? REALLY DATTEBAKON!" She roared in annoyance as she was already planning her revenge against the blonde Hokage.
The males and Fū meanwhile were tying up the persecutors as they looked at her with an annoyed expression. "We feel the same. . ." They all stated in unison.
Chōmei was jumping on top of a persecutor as he was in his chibi form, so that no one could detect his chakra signature. "Aw man! I wanted I wanted to do some more ball busting!" He whined with a pout.
But before anyone could say anything else. "What are you two doing?" A familiar voice then asked.
"And what are all of you doing here?" Another calm voice asked.
The new Chunins then turned and saw the two who had arrived and was staring at them. "Kakashi-sensei! Haku-sensei!" They all declared at the sight of them while they were on top of a shrine.
Hinata soon stood up as she had finished tying up one of the would be kidnappers. "We stopped an attempted kidnapping." She then explained in a calm manner. "Naruto-kun went after the actor we're protecting."
"I see." Was all Kakashi had to say as he made a smokeless shushin and appeared right in front of the leader of the men, no sooner that happen all of the ropes were cut freeing them on the spot. "I am very sorry about this." He then apologized to the leader as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Oi! Why did you let those guys go! They wanted to kidnap a lady!" Kiba asked as Akamaru barked in agreement.
Haku simply jumped down and landed next to the young Chunins. "While we are impressed with your improved abilities, there seems to be a misunderstand here." Haku then began.
Lee merely tilted his head to that. "What exactly do you mean by that sensei?" He then questioned.
Kakashi turn to them and simply gave a lazy stare. "This is the man who requested our mission." He then revealed.
". . ." There was a small moment of complete silence at this as they turn and see the leader dusting himself of.
"WWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTT!?" The more active members exclaimed in unison at this reveal.
Meanwhile away from the group, Naruto was watching the actor they were suppose to be protecting as she was in front of beautiful pond with clear sparkling water.
Princess Gale meanwhile looked a like was only sitting as she hugged her ankles, while she looked a the waters with a depressed look.
"Are you hurt, Princess?" Naruto asked at the sight of the depressed lady. Said lady only slightly turn towards the blond, he then place both of his hands behind his head and gave his usual big grin. "Aw man! Hey lady, you are the real Princess Gale, right?" He began with an excited tone at seeing his favorite actress. "I. . .I saw your movie and it was so inspiring!" He then added still very excited, while he was doing some of the scenes he saw in the movie, he didn't saw that the princess was heading to her horse. "Man! They were so awesome that I was crying all the while me and Satsuki-chan were screaming and-" was all he could say when the Princess was charging straight at him while she was riding her horse. "Ah!" He shouted as he narrowly dodge it, but because of this he fell on the water.
The princess meanwhile was already far away from the pond as she rode her horse as fast as it could.
"After seeing your movie. . ." A very familiar voice began as it slightly startled the princess. She turn and saw that it was Naruto running right beside her. "I just felt this energy building up inside me!" He continued not even bothered by the fact that he nearly was run over by a horse.
"Kit. . ." Kurama began, already reading the woman's feelings.
"What!? I'm busy here!" Naruto replied.
In response, Kurama just sighed to that in annoyance. "Never mind. . ." He replied. "He'll either figure it out on his own or get involve, either way he'll do something about it." He thought to himself.
"Then shut up!" Naruto shouted, but then the princess smack the horse backside and that made it go even faster. To which made Naruto run even faster as he had to actually place chakra on to his feet to even keep up. "WHAT'S UP WITH THAT HORSE! IT'S FASTER THAN ME!" He exclaimed as he had a frantic look on his face.
The princess meanwhile kept riding her horse as fast as it could. "I'm not going to give up!" A voice that was right behind her declared, this once again startled her as she looked back and saw that Naruto was sitting right behind her. "I'm gonna do my best, too, and the next Hokage!" He declared with his usual big grin. "Oh, Hokage is the highest-ranking Ninja in Konoha where I from." He then began to babble uncontrollably as he then notice something. "Hey Nee-chan, you're great at the reins too! He soon complemented her as she could only watch him a stunned expression. "No wonder you're the number one actress in the Land of Fire. My eyes weren't wrong about you!" He added, but no sooner he said this, the princess eye turned back into a blank expression.
Then suddenly, the princess turned her sight towards the front as she then began to ride even faster than before. as she was riding many civilians were moving away from the crazy fast rider. But as she was riding uncontrollably fast, she accidentally torn off her right sleeve.
Seeing this made Naruto feel a little worried now. "Hey Nee-chan! Aren't you going too fast?" He asked with a worried tone.
The princess however didn't replied as she continued without stopping for a second. Then out of nowhere a few children came out of a corner as the horse were now just a few feet from them.
This made both of them have a startled expression at the sight of the children. "Watch out!" Naruto called out to her.
To that call, the princess soon pulled as hard as she could onto the horse's reins, this made the horse raise its upper body, stopping the horse from harming the startled children. But because of this sudden action, it made both Naruto and the princess to fall off the horse.
Once the children were over their startlement, one of the little girls gasp at the sight of the lady. "Huh!? It's Princess Gale!" She shouted in excitement with stars in her eyes. Then said princes slowly stood up as the children ran towards her.
"Wow!"
"It is her!"
"It's Princess Gale! Princess Gale!"
This and such remarks the children said as they were around the lady.
"I am not Princess Gale." The lady finally spoke for the first time.
"I know! You're the actress Yukie Fujikaze. I'm your fan!" The same little girl stated as she then when to her backpack and pulled out a book. "Can I have your autograph!" She then asked as the rest of the children did the same.
The now revealed Yukie Fujikaze soon gained a very annoyed and angry expression to this. "I don't give autographs!" She declared with an angry tone, but the children didn't listen to her as they kept asking for an autograph.
"Me too!" A very underappreciated Naruto asked in an equally childish tone.
"Your a ninja for kami sakes. . .Have some dignity kit. . ." Kurama remarked with a sweatdrop as it reminded him of how he acted before in the academy. "Not to mention your acting like a fanboy dammit!" He then added in annoyance.
"Hey I'm finally getting to meet a big time actor! And kami knows when I'll get another chance like this! Especially when I'm about to leave for a mission and I may never see her again! So let me have my moment dattebayo!" Naruto retorted via mind link.
Meanwhile with the Yukie, she was slowly losing her patience as annoyance began to form in her face as the children constantly asking for an autograph. "That's enough!" She suddenly shouted and the children as this completely silence them. "What's so great about getting my autograph?" She began with a very irritated tone, as she place her right hand on her hip, the children began to look sad at the tone of the famous actor. "You'll just put it away in some corner and it'll just collect dust." She kept saying as the children began even more depressed. "It serves no purpose. . .It's silly! How idiotic!" She finally finished as they then passed the children having enough of their company.
"How awful. . ."
"She's so arrogant."
"She just shattered my image of her. . ."
"She's let a little success go to her head."
This an such comments came from the few civilians that were close enough to had heard the actor say all those mean things to the children.
But Naruto didn't really pay any attention to this comments as all he could do was stare at the retreating Yukie with a stunned expression.
"Yo? You ok?" Kurama asked when he didn't heard even a single thought on his host mind. When he got no response he let out a sigh. "Somehow I had expected her personality to be like that." He added. Then all of a sudden, Naruto stood up and ran towards the actor with a determined face. "And. . .so it begins. . ." He soon remarked with a chuckle.
Back with the young Chunins as they were all waiting at what looked like a movie studio.
"Our mission is to guard an actress, Yukie Fujikaze, who's known for her role as Princess Gale" Kakashi began to explain the mission parameters.
"Guard?" Hinata soon asked, wanting to fully understand what they must do.
"Wait! WHAT!? PRINCESS GALE!?" Satsuki shouted with uncontrollable excitement like Naruto's, forgetting for the moment that she already knew that they were protecting her.
This made all the other young Chunin's, save for a few however, only sweatdrop at this as they saw her practically as a female Naruto.
Haku nodded in response to that, although sweatdropped as well at the Uchiha's reaction. "Well. . .more like escort her to where the filming will be take place while we guard her from any possible dangers." He explained.
"Well that's just for you guys, our only part of this is help you out until you and your client reach the bait." Kiba added with a very uninteresting tone while he rested his chin on the palm of his hand.
"At least sound like you're into this!" Ino complaint from the lack of enthusiasm.
"One, this is hardly a mission and two, you got us into this!" Kiba bark back with much annoyance as he then looked back at Satsuki while her breasts bounced with every action. "Though I gotta say, Satsuki-chan's personality is much better then when she was posing as a guy." He then admitted with a certain smirk on his face.
As a result of the remark, the Inuzuka heir was smacked over the head by Ino. "She's taken already, get over it." She replied as Kiba just groaned and rub his sore head.
"Though I don't agree with his reason for doing this, I would still agree to come as I will alway be ready to protect Hinata-sama." Neji agreed as he slightly narrow his eyes at Ino. "But I hate being tricked into a childish scheme like this. . ." He then added.
"It was a most unyouthful deed at the fact that you were able to convince Gai-sensei of going through with this Ino-san!" Lee agreed with a nod.
"So that mean you don't want to be with Naruto and the girls?" Ino innocently asked as she grinned with an evil like intention.
"No! I am very happy to be spending some time with Naruto-kun and the rest of Team Seven!" Lee instantly replied with a fire in his eyes.
"Hook, line and sinker. . ." Shikamaru commented as he let out a loud sigh. "Troublesome as always. . ." He then got out in annoyance while rubbing his forehead. "Ino, again, why are we really doing this?" He then questioned.
Ino merely pouted to that as she glared at her teammate. "I already told you Shikamaru, Hokage-sama gave us the mission to watch Team Seven until they leave." She responded. "Truth being told I just wanted to see what kind of clothing Naruto choose after I even let my excellent taste in clothing. That. . .and I just wanted to show off my outfits I picked out." She thought as a devilish smile graced her face.
Flashback no Jutsu!
In the Hokage's office. . .
After Kurenai had left the office, Ino came in and tried to convince Tsunade about her request to help out with the escort."This is a ridiculous request you're making . . ." Tsunade stated at her desk with a bottle of sake in her hands. "You are all Chunins with your own separate missions you have to do on. I can't just make up this mission for a reason like that." She explained as she drank some more.
Ino however saw this coming as she didn't felt the least bit phased as she then gave a very sly smirk. "True. . .it is a silly mission, that's why I it will only be until Team Seven gets to their boat, with the excuse to make sure that no interruptions get in the way. . ." She began to say, as Tsunade didn't like that look on the young girl's face. "Well that's on paper." She then added.
Tsunade soon narrowed her eyes at the Yamanaka girl. "What are you getting at? I'm not really in the best of mood ever since this morning. . ." She grumbled out as she drank some more sake.
Ino then sweatdropped to that. "I admit, I heard a little bit of what happened this morning. . .you do scream a lot Tsunade-sama. . ." She then admitted.
This nearly made the female Hokage to nearly spit out the sake in her mouth, she used her hand to clean up the small drips that did came out. "And what does that suppose to mean?" She demanded more than asked.
Ino then decided to get straight to the point. "I've humiliated Satsuki before to the point where she became flustered and embarrassed." She answered.
Tsunade just raise an eyebrow, as a sight that she didn't get the answer. "And that should change my mind how?" She then asked.
"Hmm. . .well for starters. . .I'll make sure she doesn't act the way she does when you're not watching her with how she how she acts and goes on with her seductive self around Naruto," Ino started, she then saw that she was starting to looks mildly convince about the last part of her deal, so she decided to deal the finishing blow. "I'll also try and convince my dad to buy you all you can drink sake for a week after we return from our mission." She then offered.
Tsunade then narrowed her eyes as she looked at where she kept her stash of sake before she groaned at the sight. "Damn. . .Shizune must've found it. . ." She got out in annoyance, she then turn to look at the very evil grinning young girl as she knew she had won in this proposition, but she wasn't going to let her pride be tarnished by a girl much younger then her get the last laugh. "A month plus working as an assistant for me and making sure Shizune doesn't take my sake anymore along obeying my every command."
This made Ino think it. "Well. . .I don't see anything wrong with that, it will cut off some of my free time, but my pride as a fashionista must not be tarnish!" She thought to herself as she then looked down from the Hokage's face. "And maybe I can get some tips to get a rack like that. . ." She added in her head. "Ok! I think we have a deal!" She finally replied with a wide smile.
Kai!
Ino had to admit it was a pretty tough to convince the blonde Hokage. "But it'll be worth it in the end. . .just need to find a way to convince dad about the sake bit when we get back. . ." Ino thought, it was going to be a tall order but she had to fill it or she could be in a lot of trouble. "But it's so worth it!" She added.
Shikamaru only stared at her with his usual lazy look. "Yeah right. . .like I'd believe that. . ." He thought to himself, not even wanting to say it out loud. "Too troublesome. . ." He added.
Satsuki merely raised an eyebrow at the sight of Ino grinning the way she was. "What are you planning Ino-chan?" She deadpanned the question as she looked at her teammate. "Any ideas Nata-chan?" She then asked via mindlink.
Hinata quickly turned to look at Ino and then shrugged her shoulders. "No idea. . ." She simply responded. "But you know how Ino-san is, it must have something to do with us." She soon guessed, as she just figure it out without even realizing it.
"Yeah. . ." Satsuki merely responded as she went towards the Yamanaka heiress. "Though this we only last until we get on the boat so I guess it's not too bad." She then reminded. "Though I still find it annoying to have them like babysitters dattebakon. . ." She added with much annoyance in her tone.
"Well anyways. . ." The right hand man of the director said to gain everyone's attention. "the next "Princess Gale" movie is our first filmed abroad." He then began to explain. "And well, you've seen. . .what the most important person, that Yukie Fujikaze, is like." He then added with a slight annoyance in his tone.
"I'm very sorry." The same man that hired Team Seven apologize for the actors actions.
"Still," The director began as he took a puff of his pipe. "the Konoha shinobi are impressive." He praised, as the young Chunins smiled or grinded at been praised. "They easily beat the men we hired to be her bodyguards stuntmen." He finalized.
"Err. . .thanks you very much." Kakashi got out.
Satsuki merely placed her hands behind her head and smiled in a Naruto like fashion. "We aim to please dattebakon!" She admitted.
Hinata simply bowed at the movie director as her sight caught something, she turn and saw many pictures from landscapes, boats and a photo of the very same actor they had just talked about. "That is a very impressive precipice." She commented as she looked at the ice like structures.
"This is the 'Rainbow Glacier' which is supposed to be found in the Land of Snow." One of the main cast answered.
All of the young shinobi turn to looked at two of the main cast. "Ken! You play the role of Burikinto!" Satsuki said with excitement in her tone.
"The climactic last scene of the next movie will be filmed there." The other main cast member answered.
"And you're Hidero who plays Shishimaru!" Satsuki then revealed with stars in her eyes.
By this point, all the young shinobi could only sweatdropped at Satsuki's fangirl side being revealed.
"Oh the cruel irony. . ." Ino admitted as she watched the Uchiha act the way she did, reminding her of herself. . . even if she couldn't blame her with the handsome actor in the area.
Hinata meanwhile could only giggle, as she then turn towards the director. "I've heard the the Land of Snow is very far away from the Land of Fire, is that true?" She soon questioned.
"That's right," The director right hand man responded with a nod. "The manager, Sandayu, here recommended it." He finished as he pointed as said manager gave a bow. "This Rainbow Glacier turns into seven colors during the Spring." He then added.
stated.
"That's just an old legend." Kakashi began, gaining everyone's attention.
"What do you mean Kakashi-sensei?" Satsuki asked with a tilt of her head, as the rest of the young shinobi's also wanted to know.
"In reality, there is no Spring in the Land of Snow." Kakashi then answered.
"No Spring? How is that even possible? That's that mean it's winter all year long?" Shikamaru asked with a raised eyebrow as this really caught his attention.
"As a matter of fact, yes." Kakashi replied with a lazy tone that one would guess him and Shikamaru would had been related.
"Have you been on a mission there before Kakashi-sensei? It sounds like you have experience there." Hinata then stated her question.
"Your name is Kakashi?" The director asked. "I heard. . .that you've been to the Land of Snow." He then added.
To that Kakashi lowered his face and closed his eyes. "A long time ago." He answered both Hinata's question and the directors statement. Though the young shinobi's could sense that there was a much more hidden meaning in the way Kakashi had said it, but they decided not to asked as they figured it was something personal.
"And I hear that the Land of Snow is a very poor country." A new voice added to the conversation as Satsuki nearly jumped out of her sit when she recognize the voice.
Satsuki turned around and her eyes widen in excitement. "It's Michy who plays Sukeakuro!" She then said still sounding like a fangirl.
This again. . .made every young shinobi sweatdropped. "Well. . .at least she doesn't have hearts on her eyes like those wannabe kunoichis or civilians. . ." Tenten remarked with a forced smile on her face as she then looked at the Yamanaka heiress. "Right Ino-san?" She then remarked.
"Oh come on! Are we never going to let that go!" Ino shouted with annoyance and embarrassment in her tone while also having a blush face as well.
"Past mistakes aren't easily forgotten or forgiven. . ." Neji commented with a wise yet sad tone as he still hadn't forgiven himself for all the times he had mistreated Hinata.
"Neji-niisan. . ." Hinata thought as she knew what Neji was probably thinking. She had long since forgiven him, but she knew Neji had to do something grand for him to forgive himself. So she decided not to say anything.
"Hell yeah." Kiba nodded in agreement. "Sakura is still missing. . ." He thought, true he may never like her, but since she still a Konoha shinobi, he still has the mind to be at least be worried for a fellow comrade.
"The story goes that the former lord was a fanatic for gadgets. . ." Michy started, gaining everyone's attention once more. "and he squandered the clan's fortune on silly amusements." He added.
"Hey, I hope the place has heaters at least. I hate going to cold places." Ken said as he was worried about the cold weather.
"Glad I'm not going to this mission. . .too troublesome to deal with the cold. . ." Shikamaru muttled.
"Ok. . .even I had to agree with the slaker on this one. . ." Tenten admittingly agreed with a sweatdrop, though others had to agree with her.
"Then will you run aya, too?" Bunkinto commented "Like Yukie." He then added.
This got everyone's attention, but before anyone could asked the right hand of the director suddenly came forward with a feared expression. "Hey, give me a break!" He commented.
The director sighed in annoyance. "Is it Yukie again?" He questioned.
"What's wrong with Yukie?" Satsuki asked with a concern look.
This made the main cast of the movie to look at each other with worried expression. "Hmm. . .well, in a way yes." Bunkinto finally answered. "She really doesn't know the meaning of words like 'endeavor' or 'aspiration'. But she was never one to ignore her work." He then added.
"I don't know or care about her personal life. I have no complaints as long as she performs to the best of her ability in front of the cameras." The director stated with indifference. "She was born an actress." He then added with a surprisingly serious tone.
"That's right, it's only since we told her we were going to the Land of Snow. . .that she started running of like that." The right hand man the reliced.
Then an image of a courageous Princess Gale appeared in Satsuki's mind only for it to then shattered in a million pieces. "So. . .she's being slightly spoiled?" She asked as she dropped to her knees while her eyes began to get hollow and lifeless . "DAMMIT DATTEBAKON!" She soon exclaimed in annoyance at the thought.
And yet again, the other could only watch with a sweatdropped, though this time Hinata got out an awkward chuckle at the sight.
A few hours later, at night time. . .
Elsewhere, Kurama was laughing up a storm in the seal as what he received the information from his connection with his pseudo-jinchūrikis. "Well, the Uchiha just got a massive disappointment about that actor you three are guarding." He remarked after hearing the discussion that the two girls were involved with.
Naruto decided to just ignored the kitsune as he continued to follow Yukie.
And speaking of said actor, she began to come out of a clothing store wearing a large pick/purplish overcoat, a brown hat and sunglasses. As she was walking, she stopped and took out her pocket mirror and when she opened it, she saw Naruto on the farest part of the street, leading her to make a run for it.
"Shit!" Naruto got out as he made a run after her. "Get back here dattebayo!" He yelled the order.
And so began the chase, Yukie being a normal civilian level, Naruto easily follow without difficulty. Then when Yukie got tired from running she stopped to catch her breath, as she did this she turn and there was Naruto looking at her no more the a meter or two in length while not hiding all to well.
"She actually thought she could get away from a shinobi." Kurama snarky stated as he rolled his eyes. "And you're really doing an excellent job developing those hiding skills kit." He added once more in the sarcastic tone.
"Oh who asked you!" Was Naruto's comeback, not really denying anything.
While Naruto was too busy talking to Kurama, Yukie took this chance and began to ran away again. She continued running at her full speed through the alley ways as the sunset rays were at their last. Then she took on turn to the left almost falling from the bag of trash that she passed through, as she continued to run she turn her head to see if she lost Naruto, but no sooner she did this Naruto was standing right infront of her while being upside down and his feet were stuck on steel bar. "Ah!" She shouted in startlement and fell backwards, losing her hat and glasses in the process.
Naruto didn't said a word while staring at her intensely for a single moment, then he pulled out a signing board and permanent marker out.
"Fanboy. . ." Kurama remarked.
"Shut it!" Naruto replied but his face stayed the same.
Yukie was panting as she was clearly tired from all the running. "All right already." She said with a tired and annoyed tone.
Upon hearing this made Naruto gain a shit eating grin. "Yes!" He shouted as he jumped down and when he landed, he gave the board and marker to her.
Yukie simply took them without looking at Naruto. "What's your name kid?" She then asked.
Naruto placed his hands behind his head and grinded. "The name's Naruto! Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze!" He declared with happiness of getting his favorite actors sign autograph..
Yukie just sighed to that. "Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, right?" She asked. "It had to be long. . ." She grumbled lowly as she began to write something.
Naruto smirked to that. "Yeah, I'm a chunin of Konoha along. . .with. . .my team." He explained as his eyes wandered to the really pretty stone around her neck. "Nice necklaces nee-chan." HE commented. No sooner he said that however, Yukie's hand began to wonder to her hair, then she quickly grabbed her right earring and pressed it, this caused an orange spray to hit Naruto's eyes. "Ah! W-What was that!?" He asked as he began to rub his eyes while moving without direction.
"Pepper spray to keep away staker." Yukie said without remorse as she stood up.
Naruto began to backpedal from the pain and when straight towards a wooden post that was wolding a large pile of wood, upon impact the post was broken and all of the wood landed right on top of him.
Yukie stood up and then began to break the board, it took a moment but she finally manage to break it in half, then she continued to tear it until it was tiny pieces as threw them to the sides. "So stupid." Was all she had to say as she turned around and left the unconscious boy under the pile of wood.
Kurama came out of the seal in his chibi form while he was on top of the pile that was on top of his host. "Real smooth kit. . ." He commented while having a big sweat drop falling from his head.
To which was replied by the sound of an agonizing young preeteen.
Later that night. . .
Inside of a bar, we see Yukie looking at the same weird shape stone attach to her necklace. "You've got to be kidding. . ." She said with sluggish tone, sign of her being drunk. "Who'd want to go to the Land of Snow?" She added in a mumble.
Then one of the customers finished his last drink and after he left the money he stood up and began to leave in a very drunk like manner, but his was strangely leaning towards where Yukie was sited. Just as when the man was right next to her, his hand stretched and then. . .
Naruto burst into the bar between Yukie and the man. "I've found you, Princess Gale!" He declared as Kurama in his human transformation walk passed them and began to order a drink, while the earlier man was strangely unaffected by the sudden appearance of the blond and continued to walk towards the exit.
In response to that, Yukie put her necklace back to its place around her neck. "I told you. I'm' not Princess Gale." She stated.
Naruto gave a very annoyed expression to that. "I know that!" He shouted with much annoyance. "How dare you trample on my pure intentions! I don't know how great you actresses are, but I won't forgive what you did!" He then declared in heated fury.
"Took him long enough. . . Kurama grumbled as drank his sake
Yukie then lazily drank another cup of sake as she then turned towards the blond. "Actress? Great?" She asked with much sarcasm in her tone as she then began laugh loudly while Naruto watch on with a very stupefied expression. "That's ridiculous!" She then said as she filled her cup with more sake. "Being an actress is the pits! It's work that only the lowest of the low would do." She declared as she took another drink.
Naruto's expression then change to one of complete confusion as he didn't understood what she meant by that.
Kurama meanwhile narrowed his eyes as he heard the actress's declaration. "Sadness, depression, fear and self loading. . .She's hiding something. . .something had happened to her. . ." He thought to himself, blocking out his container from hearing it.
"We act out lies from scripts written by people. . ." Yukie continued as she lean on the table. "It's so stupid." She added depressingly.
"Um. . .are you drunk?" Was Naruto's brilliant question.
"Wow. . .You're really smooth kit. . ." Kurama commented as he was genuinely baffled by Naruto's complete lack of tac.
Naruto merely gave his fuzzy prisoner the middle finger as a response.
But before anyone else could say or do anything else. "Shut up! Get lost!" Yukie shouted with both anger and annoyance as she prepared to throw her glass, while Naruto remain in place not looking scared at all.
The man that had stood up earlier was now simply standing right at the front of the exist, but when he heard that shout he began to move again. But just as he was about to open the door, it burst open as Sandayū entered the bar with Satsuki and Hinata right behind him, while the other newest Chunins simply decided to wait outside the bar. "Lady Yukie!" He called out to the actress while said actress simply filled her cup once more. "The boat for the Land of Snow will soon set sail." He then advised.
Yukie merely groaned to that as she looked at her manager in a drunken matter. "So?" She bluntly asked.
"Ms. Yukie, please be reasonable." Hinata politely requested as she looked at the drunken actress.
Satsuki nodded in agreement as she placed her hands on her hips. "Yeah! This is a big deal dattebakon!" She stated her piece.
However upon seeing Naruto the girls and said blonde were slightly shocked at seeing the other. "Naruto-kun!?/Satsuki-chan!? Hinata-chan!?" The trio got out.
"Now it's a party." Kurama joked with a chuckle as he took another cup of sake.
Yukie then looked at the two female Chunin with a dazed expression. "Who the hell are you two?" She then asked once more in a blunt tone. But before the two girls could respond however, Yukie continued with a sigh. "You know what, don't care." She added with a very rude tone this stun both girls, more so Satsuki. "I'm dropping out as Princess Gale." She then declared this shock everyone present in the bar.
"WHAT!?" Both Naruto and Satsuki yelled in horror.
"Just like that!?" Hinata exclaimed as she was more startled that such a great actor like Yukie would simply quit like that..
Haku meanwhile narrowed his eyes. "Aren't you being over dramatic?" He then questioned.
Yukie then turn towards the girls in a very drunken manner. "You think so? It happens often. You know, the lead actress changes for sequels. The directors change. . ." She began to explain as Haku couldn't really counted as he himself wasn't very knowledgeable about this things, but he didn't have too.
"Enough of that!" Sandayū shouted as his patience had reached their limit while Yukie look at him with a bored expression. "This role. . .the one of Princess Gale. . .You are the only actress who can play her!" He declared with passion while Yukie didn't looked the least bit motivate or cared at all.
Kurama looked at this scene with narrow eyes. "Why is he like this? I know that managers had to deal with the whiny demands of the actors, but this sound way more than just that. . ." He thought with much suspicious. "There's definitely more going on here. . ." He added to himself.
"Besides, if you drop out at this stage. . .you'll never be able to find work in this industry again!" Sandayū continued.
"So? I don't care." Yukie simply responded in a low tone.
"Lady Yukie!" Sandayū shouted with a startle tone.
Satsuki meanwhile had a very annoyed and angry expression at seeing what hers and Naruto's favorite actor was behaving as she then looked at her teammates. "I never thought she would be this bratty. . ." She said via mental communication.
"Tell me about it!" Naruto replied with just the same amount of annoyance and anger as his fiance.
"Maybe. . .but don't you think it's more like she doesn't want to go?" Hinata theorized.
"Ah that's just her being stubborn dattebayo." Naruto responded.
"Yeah!" Satsuki agreed with a nod.
Hinata simply shook her head in a negative manner. "No. . .more like," She began as she activated her Byakugan and saw the dark blue color aura around her. "Sadness. . .pain. . .and" She listed off as she then noticed a small bit of red and vomit yellow. "Anger and fear. . ." She finalized.
Kurama smirk at that. "Your getting better at using the Emotions Byakugan of yours Lavender Eyes." He admitted.
"But why the hell would she be feeling those emotions?" Satsuki then asked.
"I honestly have no idea. . ." Hinata admitted. "However. . .I think she might have a sad past. . ." She then deducted.
"Huh? What do you-" Was all Naruto and Satsuki could got out.
"Well it can't be help." Said a very familiar voice.
"Huh?" Yukie got out as she turned at the sound of the very familiar voice, but once she did she saw Kakashi with his Sharingan eye fully exposed as the tomoes began to spin around the iris. Yukie had a shocked expression as she saw this and soon fell unconscious with Kakashi narrowly caught her.
Satsuki in response to that with a pout and puffed up cheeks. "You gotta teach me that next time Ero-sensei." She remarked.
The earlier man was still right at the doors exist, but when he heard everything he open it and passed the rest of the young Chunin.
At an unknown location. . .
"I see. So she has the Hex Crystal." Said a very deep voice as he place down a large vintage glass of wine onto his chair arm.
In front of him was a man kneeling before the first, he was a relatively normal size man, which had a scar on his right eye, but it wasn't damaged at all, he was wearing a ninja outfit with a snow color theme of light blue, dark blue and white, he had white hair that had it tight into a ponytail while his forehead protector had a snow symbol on it. "It seems there's no mistake that the actress, Yukie Fujikaze is infact Koyuki Kazahana." The white hair man declared to the sitting man.
Right besides the white haired man, was a pink haired woman using the same ninja outfit as him, but she had a very unique helmet which had the same symbol as well as it had two holes on the sides that she let some of her hair out, making it look like twin tails. "It was worth the ten years it took to find her." She then stated.
The last man in the room was a much bulkier man that was also wearing the same outfit as the others as it also looked as though he had something metallic covering his arm and finally had an happuri-style forehead protector with the same symbol. "Heh, one young woman. . .that will be easy." He said with an arrogant tone.
"That Kakashi Hatake is her bodyguard." The white haired man stated.
This got the other two's attention. "Kakashi Hatake!?" The bulky man said with startlement.
"Hmm~ Interesting." The pink haired woman said with a very excited tone. "It will be a clash of fate then." She added as the white haired man remained quiet.
Then the sitting man face was fully revealed as he was a man on his early forties while he watch the latest movie of the Princess Gale. "Bring her to me, dispose of anyone standing in my way." He then ordered.
Later on at the docks, the film crew was getting the last of the supplies on the ship as they were almost ready to depart to the film location. Kakashi was already inside of the ship as he had to place the unconscious Yukie inside for her to rest while most of the young Chunin's help out however they could with the supplies. As for our favorite trio however. . .
"Ino-chan, why are we wearing our cold resistant clothes now?" Hinata questioned as a sweatdrop run down her head, as she really didn't saw the meaning in this as she alongside Satsuki were wearing their winter clothing that Ino had picked for them. But the only difference was that on both girls jackets they had placed symbols, Satsuki had placed the red swirl on both her shoulder sided, showing that she had truly given up on the Uchiha symbol, while Hinata had her clan symbol on her right shoulder and on the other side she too placed the red swirl.
"We weren't supposed to wear them until we're about to reach the Land of Snow!" Satsuki stated as she had her hands on her hips.
Ino merely smirked as she looked at the Team Seven members. "Well besides wanting to see your full outfits, it's better to be prepared early." She advised with a very smooth and convincing tone. "That and I am not leaving until I show off my clothing and see what Naruto choose while denying my fashion advice!" She thought to herself.
Shikamaru meanwhile rubbed his forehead as he already figured out what his teammate was really thinking and what her true motive behind this so called 'mission' was about. "Troublesome. . .fashion crazed girl. . ." He grumbled.
"We better at least help them get all the supplies on the ship." Tenten then reminded, as she also knew what the Yamanaka heiress was thinking. "This is why they still tease her about being a fangirl. . ." She grumbled to herself.
'YES!" Lee suddenly exclaimed with a fire in his eyes. "IF I CANNOT HELP BRING ALL THE SUPPLIES ONTO THE SHIP IN LESS THAN A MINUTE, THEN WENT WE RETURN BACK TO KONOHA, I MUST DO ONE HUNDRED LAPS AROUND THE VILLAGE ON MY HANDS!" He soon declared.
Kin could help but sweatdrop at this declaration. "Isn't that a bit much?" Kin asked, though she had a slight blush on her face.
Neji only sigh with much annoyance at the sight of his over zealous teammate of his. "Lee has always been this way, you should have been used to this with all the time you spent with him." He reminded with a sigh.
Kin only blushed more to that. "R-Right Neji-san. . ." She got out, though her mind was taking what he meant the completely wrong way as her head began steaming. "Does that mean he see's us like that!?" She thought with much embarrassment at the thought of being seen as a couple.
Naruto just came out of the room as then looked at the blushing and steaming Kin as he turned his head towards Lee. "Oi, Kiba. . .does Kin-chan. . ." He started as he blinked a couple times. "You know. . .like Hinata-chan when she's with me back at the academy?" He then asked.
Kiba meanwhile turn and gave a deadpan expression. "Jeez. . .What was your first clue Naruto?" He then whispered back. "The fact that her face is redder than an apple or the steam coming from her face." He added with much sarcasm in his tone.
"It is pretty obvious kit." Kurama deadpanned in his human transformation, though had a slight drunk like blush on his face. "Letting myself get drunk is fun. . .thank you Anko-chan. . ." He dumbly added with a witty and perverse smirk.
"No one asked a drunk like you." Naruto replied while not even looking at him.
"Kurama-niisan. . ." Chōmei grumbled out in his human transformation with a sweatdrop running down his head after hearing Naruto's very accurate comment.
"Never would've thought he would purposely get himself drunk." Fū admitted.
"Oh! In this form we have much less chakra and our real bodies are still in seal up so we're more or less human." Chōmei explained his host question.
"Then would that mean that you could also be killed?" Kiba asked with a slight stupefied expression.
This caused both Naruto, Fū and the Bijū's to look at him with a baffled expression.
"Oh! Come on! Is this going to be a running gag!?" Kiba then asked as he was ready to pulled out his hair off as the rest just chuckled at this.
"Nah, even if we do die in this form, we would just dispersed into chakra and our conscious would simply return back to the seal. Think of it as faking the enemy out." Chōmei then added as he placed his hands behind his head in a relaxed position.
"But wouldn't you be targeted if you do that? Can you even fight in this form? After all your real bodies are seal inside of us." Naruto asked.
"Well since this is technically a fake body, we can give it as much of our power as we want, but alsong as our seal that keeps us seal will let us leak out, so even if we can't use our full power, we can still be a real threat." Chōmei explained then he looked at his older yet very drunk oldest brother mumbling about Anko in a very graphic scene. "Though I think Kurama-niisan's abusing this with his nighttime affairs." He added with a sweatdrop.
"That's completely obvious dattebayo." Naruto remarked with a sigh of annoyance.
"Also Naruto-nii," Chōmei then started as he smiled at the blond Chunin. "Nice look!" He complimented.
Upon hearing this comment made every person that knew him turn and really get a good look at him. They each gave a surprised expression at the sight of him.
Both Hinata and Satsuki eye's when wide as their faces turn bright red at seeing their fiance's new clothing. "HE'S SEXY!" They both thought in excited unison.
Ino also join in the blushing competition as her own face match theirs, but she was feeling conflicted on the inside. "No way. . .that color blind, dense, fashion unworthy nitwit, picked a better outfit than the one I wanted to pick!" She screamed on the inside as her fashionista side took a mortal blow.
Tenten meanwhile just smirked at the sight of him. "Not bad, you look like a real hunk." She admitted with a teasing tone.
Neji first looked at Hinata before he then looked at Tenten and merely sighed. "While I do agree that these clothing do fit you and their look are appropriate for a shinobi, do not do something that will make Hinata-sama unpleasant with them. . ." He commented with narrow eyes.
"YOU LOOK INCREDIBLY YOUTHFUL NARUTO-KUN!" Lee declared with a fire surrounding him.
"Y-Yeah, You look great in that Naruto-san." Kin agreed with a red face as she look away from Lee, as she imagine said boy wearing something like that. "I don't know if I should say something to that, because I don't know I could handle something like that. . ." She thought with conflicted feelings, as she did wanted Lee to wear something like that, but she knew she would faint on the spot if she did.
"Looking good Naruto." Chōji simple commented with a simple nod of approval.
"Troublesome. . ." Shikamaru muttered. "Girls always fall for the good looking ones. . ." He added. "Better him than me at least." He thought.
"Why the hell did he become the ladies man!?" Kiba questioned in his head in annoyance.
"I BET YOU THIS MADE THE GIRLS WANT TO RIP THOSE NEW CLOTHES OFF JUST SO THAT YOU COULD RAPE HIM LIKE WILD DOGS!" Kurama then loudly remarked in a drunken matter before hiccuping.
This instantly made said girls and the other ones to blushed crimson red. Though the two girls didn't denied it.
In front of them was Naruto as he wearing black snow combat boots, black snow pants, a long sleeve dark orange turtleneck sweater, but the more eye drawing pieces of his outfit was that on top of his sweater was a very silky looking jacket as it was a black and orange linings on the sleeves and throughout the jacket, another thing was his gloves, the black on the top part and orange on the bottom. So as a whole, Naruto did looked really dashing and attractive. "Oh shut up. . ." Naruto simple said to the drunk, resisting the urge to dropkick the fox.
Ino was the first of the girls to come back to reality. "N-Not bad Naruto, but I could've picked something better had you let me!" She declared while pointing at her fellow blond, though the blush on her face clearly said otherwise.
Soon enough, Satsuki recovered, but her blushed didn't lefts as she began to smiled evilly. "Man I'm glad I'm gonna be on the ship with Naru-kun and Nata-chan! Obaa-chan can't stop me from sleeping with my man now! Mwhaha!" She thought in satisfaction.
"I'm going to spend much time with Naruto-kun like this?" Hinata thought with much embarrassment before looking towards the excited Satsuki. "Satsuki-chan's going to sleep strip us again. . ." She figured with as a darker blush colored her face immediately.
But before anyone else could say anything, the whistles on the boat went off, signalling that it was time to depart.
"Looks like our mission is done. . ." Shikamaru stated with his usual lazy tone.
"Looks like it." Kiba agreed as he looked at the now returned dazed Yamanaka that returned to looking at the Uzumaki. "Oi blondie, satisfied?" He then asked.
This made said Yamanaka to recover from her daze. "W-What do you mean? This was a mission from the Hokage-sama! It had nothing to do with me!" She instantly declared in a defensive manner.
"Smooth. . ." Kiba retorted with a shit eating grin. But this was rewarded by a kick to the lower part of his body. "GAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" He then wailed out as he fell to the ground holding said area.
Ino said nothing as she went back to the girls from Team Seven with a very satisfied smile on her face. "Now that the mutt is dealt with, good luck on your mission Hinata-chan, Satsuki-chan." She sweetly said with a slight tilt of her head.
"Right back at ya." Satsuki replied with a satisfied smirk. "And tell Tsunade-Obaachan that I win this round!" She added.
Hinata meanwhile sweatdrop at the sight as she turned to the Yamanaka heiress. "Just tell her for me that we apologize," She then requested.
Ino then grinned very evilly to Satsuki's response. "And do be sure that you don't used the weather as an excuse to get too warm with Naruto." She stated with a shit eating grin, though made sure to remember Hinata's request.
The girls then went nuclear red and their ears turn into steam pipes that gave a whistling sounds to that comment as they couldn't so much as baffled a single word from the embarrassment.
"I'll be sure to let her know." Ino instantly responded as her grin never left her face. As she then turn and began to drag the suffering boy by the legs as he whimpered even more from the bumps on the board to decent the ship.
The rest could only watch this with a sweatdrop falling from their faces.
"Anyways. . ." Fū then started. "See you three when you get back. You gotta give us all the details of the mission afterwards." She then requested.
"Just don't get killed." Shikamaru stated. "You three always seem to end up getting into trouble somehow." He added with his hands in his pockets as he followed Ino and the whispering Kiba.
"Make sure you tell me how's the food there." Chōji simply said as he followed the rest of his team.
"HAVE YOURSELVES A MOST YOUTHFUL TRIP PROTECTING SUCH A FAMOUS ACTRESS!" Lee loudly requested with a thumbs up to the three.
"Make sure you all stay safe you hear?" Kin said with smile.
Hinata and Satsuki finally manage to recovered as they both sigh at being outwitted by Ino, but they still nodded to Kin. "Of course." Hinata responded with a reassuring smile.
"Our luck isn't that bad dattebakon." Satsuki giggled out with her hands on her hips as both Lee and Kin began to descend the ship.
"Do be sure to protect Hinata-sama." Neji all but ordered Naruto with a serious expression as he also began to descend the ship but stopped as he turn and activated his Byakugan. "And keep her pure." He added with a very deadly tone the promise pain if did otherwise.
To that, Hinata's full body turn crimson red once more to that as Satsuki playfully touch her hips in a teasing manner.
This easily made Naruto sweatdrop. "Man do I look like I'm a horny fox like this guy?" He asked as he pointed to said horny fox.
"Hell yeah. . ." Kurama remarked, instantly getting dropkicked into the water from the blond. "Agh!" He shouted as he hit the water.
"Well at least that'll make him sober." Fū commented with a chuckle.
"You had it coming Nii-san." Chōmei commented as he lean on the boat's edge as were the last to leave alongside a silent Shino, who only gave a simple nod.
"SCREW YOU KIT! I'LL HAVE ANKO-CHAN CHASE AFTER YOU FOR THIS!" Kurama roared after resurfacing, then he soon notice the the boat was leaving. "HEY! WAIT FOR ME!" He then ordered as he latched onto the side of the ship.
This was soon followed by a roaring laughter from the trio at the situation there demon fox companion was in.
A few miles off the main land. . .
"Wow! Feel that ocean breeze dattebayo!" Naruto started in an excited tone as he lean in the boat's edge and let the wind hit his face.
Satsuki stretched her arms out as she took it in. "Yeah! This is the first time being here in the big blue!" Satsuki agreed with the same excitement.
HInata nodded in agreement as she watched the rippling waves. "It feels so different from the time we when the Wave." She said with a small happy smile.
Satsuki dropped her arms and turn towards her fellow fiance. "It really does." She replied with a smile. Then she crossed her arms below her breasts and began to think of what Hinata had said. "Guessing we should get used to seeing new and unfamiliar stuff like this for future missions." She added as she tilted her head to the side.
"Hell yeah!" Naruto then remarked as he placed a hand on the female Uchiha's head. "We're gonna be doing and seeing a whole lot more of this from now on! That why this is but a taste of our new adventures!" He added his own piece.
Hinata nodded in agreement. "That's right and hopefully we get to meet new friends along the way as well." She said her statement. "But as long as I'm with you I feel we can take on anyone and anything." She added with a kind smile.
"Yeah!" Satsuki replied as she turned around and looked towards the movie crew on the ship. "So, this is what it's like seeing a movie crew prepare. . ." She then stated as she leaned against the edge of the ship that was facing the center of the mass as she watched the movie crew checking the equipment.
"You three owe me for knocking me off the ship. . . Kurama growled in his human transformation as he glared daggers at the Team Seven members.
Then the other two members of Team Seven also leaned against the side of the ship. "Your fault for being drunk so early." Naruto simply stated as the girls began to giggle at the comment.
Kurama then lean on edge. "Listen you little-" He began to say but before he could say say another word. . .
The sound of a door bursting could be heard. "WHAT THE HECK IS THIS!?" A very familiar female voice shouted.
This sudden burst from the door caused Kurama to lose his grip and go over the edge. "AH!" He screamed as he landed head first. The impacted made some of the crew to wobble and looked towards him, then they continued as nothing had happen. "Well looks like sleeping beauty just woke up." Kurama soon deadpanned as he was on his head.
Up top, the trio began to laugh so hard that their sides began to hurt from too much laughter, much to the fox annoyance as he bowed to get them back for this.
A few minutes later. . .
Team Seven plus Haku was waiting at the left upper part of the boat, Naruto and Satsuki had a very bored expression on their faces as they really wanted to see the filming that Yuki was about to do while Hinata and Haku simply waited with patience and Kakashi simply lean on the edge of the edge of the boat while reading his little orange book like always and Kurama in his chibi form was on top of him while reading the same book as he laugh perversely.
Naruto and Satsuki were staring at Yukie getting her makeup on and her hair ready by the crew members, while said lady had a very broad and unmotivated expression on her face. "That lady. . ." Naruto began with an annoyed tone getting the girls and Haku's attention. "I don't think I'll get along with her." He then added.
Satsuki meanwhile nodded in agreement. "Yeah, same here Naru-kun." She responded.
"What are you saying you two?" Kakashi said as he looked at the actress in mention. "You have to protect her, no matter what. This is an important mission." He reminded with a serious tone.
"How come? She's already shattered how I thought about her?" Satsuki then asked with much annoyance as Naruto nodded in agreement.
"Regardless of what, this is an A-rank mission." Kakashi then clarified.
"Wait what!? AND A-RANK MISSION!?" Naruto and Satsuki both asked at the same time while Hinata had her eyes widen by this revelation.
"Tsunade-sama told us this already." Haku then reminded, though sweatdropped at their reactions.
"While I know that Yukie-san may be a very famous actress, why is guarding one actress be rank so high Kakashi-sensei?" Hinata then asked as she couldn't see why this would be an A-rank.
"You'd be surprised. Famous people are often targeted" Kakashi replied with a lazy tone. "Furthermore, it's difficult to know who the enemy is. So caution is extremely necessary when asked to guard a high rank official or famous person." He then added.
Hinata nodded to that as she now understood then she turn to her other sensei. "So Haku-sensei, do you feel anything since we're coming up to the Land of Snow?" Hinata asked, remembering that he uses Ice Style ninjutsu.
Haku then closed his eyes as he felt the cold winds coming and passing him. "Hmm. . ." He started as he began to get a good feel of both the wind and the ambients. "It seems as though. . .I feel more into my element. . ." He stated. "It is as if that my Ice Style Ninjutsu will be enhanced during this mission." He explained with a small smile.
"Cool! You can feel that!? How do you do that!?" Naruto started to asked with an excited tone.
"It's just a natural feeling for an Ice Style user like me. It's the same kind as any winter back when I lived with my parents. . ." Haku explained before trailing off as memories of those times began to rush through his mind.
Seeing the sad look on Haku's face made the trio look just as sad at accidentally reminding their friend of what happened to him, then Kakashi in a rare moment of parenthood, he placed his book back to his pocked and then place his hand onto Haku's shoulder and gave him a kind smile underneath his mask. "That past may never be change, but remember you are not alone now." He said in a very serious yet kind tone.
This made the rest of Team Seven smile and gave nods to assure that they felt the same way while Kurama just gave his usual smirk like smile.
As a result, Haku just gave a very grateful smile and nodded to his stepfather. "Yeah. . ." He simply replied. "Thank you. . .everyone. . ." He got out.
Then the sound of a light turning on was heard, this made the shinobi to turn and saw that the rehearsal was beginning. "Finally!" Naruto and Satsuki got out in unison.
Yukie was kneeling on the floor as she still had that unmotivated look on her face.
"Lights okay!" One of the crew reported.
"Sound okay!" Another reported.
"Camera ready to roll!" the cameraman also reported.
"All right! Let's do it!" The director shouted in his megaphone. "Starting rolling from the first take!" He then order and was replied with a 'right!' from the rest of the crew.
"All right! Scene 23, cut 6, take 1. . ." The director assistant stated. "Action!" He then declared.
Suddenly, Yukie became full of energy as she got into her character. This sudden change shocked both Naruto and Satsuki as they thought they were back in the movie theater. Yukie then launched herself towards one of her teammates as she grabbed his clothes. "Shishimaru! Hang on!" Princess Gale shouted with fear for her fallen comrade.
Shishimaru groaned weakly. "Princess. . .I was no use to you. . .Please forgive me" He said weakly as his voice was full of regret.
Gale just shook her head. "What are you saying!? Thanks to you, we found courage within us!" She stated with sadness in her tone.
Shishimaru smiled weakly to that. "Princess. . .I wanted to see beyond the rainbow. . .with you. . ." He slowly said as his head fell and his eyes closed forever.
"Shishimaru!" Gale wailed with grief.
Naruto, Satsuki and Hinata watch with impressed expression. "What an actress!" Satsuki declared with an amazed tone
While Naruto nodded with dumb expression. "She's so different from the real person!" He added.
"I would say it's shinobi worthy to a certain sense." Kurama then admitted. "Though Anko-chan's better!" He added in his head before gaining a perverted smile.
"That is Lady Yukie. . ." Makino declared as the manager watch without ever looking away from the actress performance.
"Huh?" The trio said in unison, not understanding what the manager meant by that.
"Once the cameras begin to roll, there is no one who can come close to her in acting." Makion then declared with total confidence.
This made the three to began to think if they really knew who Yukie really was as they turn back to the scene.
Gale was still holding onto Shishimaru as her hands shake, then another moment Gale began to wave towards the camera. "All right, stop." She then said.
"Wha-!?" The crew got out.
"Huh!?" The director got out.
"What was that!?" The assistant asked.
"What?" Naruto and Satsuki got out as the trio turn towards said manager with a confused expression on their face.
"Sandayū. . ." Yukie called out as she waved at him. "Get me the drops for tears." She requested to him.
This in turn startled said manager. "Oh yes, yes. . ." He got out as he then went towards her. Once he was next to her, he pulled out an eye dropper and place a few drops on her eyes.
"Ready?" The director asked.
"It's overflowing! Hurry and roll the camera!" Yukie shouted in a hurried tone of voice.
"Goodness! Hey, start with the close-up." The director ordered.
"Right!" The camera man replied.
"Okay! Scene 23, cut 6, take 2! Action!" One of the crew stated.
While the was happening, Naruto and Satsuki had a very annoyed expression on their faces. "What. . .was. . .that?" They both asked the out of breath manager.
Said manager then looked at the two. "Ah, Yukie-san just requested the fake tears to use to help for the scene." Sandayū explained as he began to clean off his sweat.
This made Kurama laugh his ass of while the trio look at him with deadpan expressions.
Meanwhile back in Konoha, the young Chunin group that Ino had gathered together made it back to their village safe and sound.
"Well then," Ino started as she stretched her arms as she was taking the head of walk. "That was a thing." She added.
Kiba could only narrow his eyes at Ino. "More like a complete waste of time. . ." He commented with a deadpan expression.
The others nodded in agreement to that, not denying it to being true. "Troublesome. . ." Shikamaru mumbled with a yawn.
"Are we done here?" Neji then questioned, also clearly annoyed by this so called 'mission'. "I have training to attend to with Hiashi-sama." He stated.
Fū nodded as she lean near Shino. "Yeah I have to go too, Shino promised to tell me more about some of his insects and projects he's been working on."
Then Chōmei came out of his seal and went into his human transformation as he began to dance once he landed on the ground. "Yeah! I hope we get to see more cool looking insects!" He commented with excitement. "Though I'm still on top of the insect tower!" He thought in a somewhat cocky tone.
"Indeed. This project I speculate that will take a few years to accomplish and I which to have Fū-san to provide assistance." Shino agreed as his thoughts went towards some specific insects from a very unique insect user. "I can only make speculation towards how he is doing right now. . ." He thought to himself.
Chōji's stomach meanwhile growled before he then went and patted it. "I guess I'll go get something to eat." He decided as his mind was debating on eating barbeque or steak for dinner.
"YOSHA!" Lee suddenly exclaimed. "SINCE WE HAVE RETURNED, I SHALL NOW WHAT I HAD PROMISED MYSELF AND RUN AROUND THE ENTIRE VILLAGE ONE HUNDRED TIMES ON MY HANDS!" He declared as he literally went onto his hands with his legs in the air and then went to do as he just declared while leaving a trail of smoke behind.
Everyone then sweatdropped to that as a reaction, though they were all used to it by now since being under the same roof for a month.
"I-I'll make sure he does collapse." Kin then muttered as she went after the over zealous Chunin.
Shikamaru then looked at the Yamanaka heiress with slightly narrow eyes. "You should go and report your satisfaction to Tsunade-sama." He remarked as he then began to go on ahead.
Neji then nodded in agreement. "Correct. After all, this was your idea to do this waste of mission." He then reminded as he too began to leave.
Ino merely pouted as watch the rest of Chunins left after they all nodded in agreement. "Sourpusses. . ." She grumbled out and began to walk alone. "Well atleast I got to show off my persuasive skills and my fashion sense to boot too." She then bragged with a cocky tone though she then gain a sulky expression. "I still can't believe that Naruto got a better fashion sense than me!" She complained as she really felt wounded by just admitting this to herself as she then headed for the Hokage Tower.
Elsewhere. . .
A female, brown haired Chunin had arrived at a weapon shop as she then entered it. "I'm back." Said Chunin called out.
"Ah! Your back Tenten." A gruff voice called out as it was followed by the sounds of banging metal.
Tenten instantly recognized that voice. "Yeah! Just came back from this short mission, need any help dad?" She asked as she entered the foraging area and saw her mask covered dad working on a hot blade. "It looks like you need it." She added with her hands on her hips.
Said father then placed the heated blade in a large tub of water, causing steam to be created as he backed away and removed his protection mask, revealing an middle age man with brown spiky haired man that connected down to a long beard tight with bandana. He had a very serious expression with sharp looking eyes as he looked at his daughter with his X styled scar on his left cheek. "Yeah! I'd much appreciate it." He said as he wiped the sweat off his face. "You can work on those weapons over there as I work on this one," He informed his daughter as he placed his mask back on and then picked up his hammer. "This custom katana is really time consuming and the other ones got to be finished by tonight." He said with a muffled tone and began to work on an extra long katana.
Tenten meanwhile placed her working apron on and grabbed a forging hammer as she too began to make the finishing touches to the order. "What's so special about that one dad?" She asked.
Her dad then smirked as he displayed it. "When this is complete, it'll be able to conduct any elemental chakra for a user." He then explained as he then pulled out a katana that was as long as him.
Tenten was in a mid swing when she hear that. "Wait what!?" She got out as she missed her hit and caused it to fall to the floor along with the hammer. There was a massive tremor as a result when she hit the floor and multiple unfinished and unsharpened weapons fell on top of her, her head popped out of the massive pile of weapons. "Doesn't that mean it's made of chakra metal!?" She then asked as she really did cared about being buried on a pile of weapons.
Her father only chuckled at that little display. "That's right, this baby is made of sixty percent chakra metal, so this this is built to last." He bragged as he then continued to hit said weapon with his hammer.
"Sixty!?" Tenten shouted with eyes nearly popping out of her skull. "That's a small fortune! How did you even afford to get that much metal!?" She added with a baffled expression. It was a natural reaction, after all chakra metal is a very expensive metal, it really didn't manner the size of any weapon, if it has chakra metal it is worth a lot of money, so you can imagine the shock to know that a katana made of sixty percent was anything but cheap. "Are we bankrupt!?" She asked with horror filled eyes. "I don't want to sell all of my weapons!" She declared as she began to cuddle some of the weapons like they were toys.
Tenten's father laughs at his daugther reaction. "Nope! I got it at a good price." He then revealed as he smirked. "This baby is gonna go up for a high price when it's done." He declared in satisfaction.
"Who the hell could afford something like that!?" Tenten then asked.
"Sorry, but you know the deal, customer confidentiality. Can't have anyone know which customer has what, especially this baby." Tenten's father reminded as he began to look for any imperfections.
Tenten pouted to that as she saw that the blade was forged well. "So can it work with any elemental chakra types?" She then asked out of curiosity.
"That's right, any chakra element should work, in theory." Her father declared.
"In theory?" Tenten repeated. "What do you mean? I thought chakra metal does work with any element, that's why it such an expensive yet highly valuable metal." She then asked.
Her father nodded to that. "Yes, that is the reason why weapons made of this rare metal is such desired to any high ranking ninja. Fire would cause it to burst into flames and will make any cuts with it burn with intense heat, lightning will electrically charge it making any hit by it paralyzed upon impact, wind will sharpen it making it three times more sharper and depending on the skill level, even create a small vortex around it, earth will create a coating of earth around it that will make its blunt force very destructive and water can have a similar effect as the first effects as wind but can also extend to be like a whip." He explained the possibilities of the blade. "But like all things, it all depends on the imagination and creativity of the user to really make of any weapon." He added with complete seriousness.
Tenten meanwhile was amazed at the incredible weapon her father was working on. "Dad. . .this weapon. . .Kami. . ." She breathed out.
Seeing his daughters stun expression made his smirk. "But! You really don't need to know that until you actually begin your elemental training and to actually finish this training would take a long time for any ninja to use any elemental jutsus, let alone perfect it." He then added as his smirk never left his face.
This made Tenten to gain a tick mark on her face. "I'm a Chunin now! So I can start that training and I will perfect it so that I can use any elemental chakra onto my weapons!" She then declared.
Her father then slightly frowned to that statement, but knew his daughter was right. "She may look like my wife, but on the inside she's exactly like me." He thought to himself, holding back how proud he felt of this. "Alright. . .if you can afford the chakra metal for the warehouse load of weapons you have that is." He then advised as he began to work again with the katana.
Tenten just huffed as she knew there was no way she could ever afford to get that much chakra metal even if she work for her whole life, so she decided to simply continued to finished the order of weapons, then when she was about to swing the hammer, she remembered something. "Oh yeah, dad." She called out.
Her father then stopped his progress and looked at his daughter. "What is it?" He asked as he lower his hammer.
Tenten also lower her hammer. "You explain about the different effect of the elements with chakra metal, but you never explain what you meant by in theory any elemental chakra part." She asked.
Her father raised an eyebrow and then her remembered. "Oh! That!" He got out as he finally remembered what he wanted to tell her. "Well like I said in theory, any elemental chakra should work onto chakra metal, but that only applies to just a single type of chakra, but there is a class of unique chakra element I myself do not know if it will work." He began explain.
"And that is?" Tenten asked as she was now very curious what her father had to say.
Her father then looked straight to his daughter's eyes. "Sub elemental chakra, or more commonly know as elemental bloodline chakra." He then revealed.
Tenten raised an eyebrow as she tried to understand what that was, they she remembered a certain girlish boy. "You mean like Haku-san's Ice chakra?" She soon asked.
Her father nodded. "Correct, after all Konoha doesn't have any elemental bloodline chakra and others from other nations are either extinct or never tried it before, so we don't really know if that type of chakra would either work on the chakra metal, nor if the chakra metal would be able to handle such chakra." He then clarified.
"Wow. . .I wonder what would happen?" Tenten got out.
"Well it's just a guess, but it would either work like any other element or the chakra metal may not be able to handle it as sub elemental chakra combination of two elements." Her father theories.
Tenten nodded as she really wonder what would happen. Then she remembered another thing. "And when are you going to teach me the more advance things of forging, I really want to make better weapons like that katana or other like the powerful ones you make." She then asked.
Her father began to think to his daughter's question. "Mmm. . .You know what?" he began as he then nodded. "I think you're about ready to learn the more advanced forging teachings, but remember this, this teachings can be used for so much more that just making weapons." He then clarified as he then began to hammer the katana.
"Huh?" Tenten got out. "What do you mean? Isn't this these forging teaching meant to only making weapons? I mean isn't that what forging stands for?" She soon asked with much confusion.
Once again her father stopped the hammering and turned to his daughter, but this time he looked at her with a very intense and serious expression, that slightly startled his daughter. "Listen very carefully Tenten," He began as her daughter look at him with her giving her undivided attention, as she knew that when her dad talked like this it mean it's very serious. "These advance forging teaching are not just for forging or creating weapons, these teachings will help you create just about anything you can possibly imagine so long as you use your imagination and also if they are bound to the law of logic of our world." He then explained in greater detail.
Tenten gulped at that, it being a rare sight to see her father this serious. "L-Like what dad? Can you give me an example?" She asked as she now wanted to know more of what these advance forging teaching could do.
Her father closed his eyes as he began to think very deeply. "It is as said Tenten," He began to explain as his hand began to reach a simple looking metal pipe. "You can make just about. . ." He started as then grabbed it and then in a quick movement he thrusted the pipe forwards.
Once he did this, the top part of the pipe open and a blade came out of it just an inch from reaching her forehead. The sudden sight of the blade made Tenten fell to her back side with a shock expression. "W-W-W-W-W-W-" She babbled in complete stupefied tone.
"Anything. . ." Her father concluded as he then retreated the blade and with a quick moment the blade return to the pipe. "So don't go assuming that these advance forging teachings teachings will create simple slash, pierce or hitting weapons like the one you normally use." He added.
Tenten was still in a state of pure shock of what she just saw. "G-Got it." She barely said.
Her father could help but chuckle at the sight of her baffled daughter as he tap the pole in his shoulder a couple of time. "But in all seriousness, what I'm I'm about to teach you will help create anything but like I also said it must be bound to the laws of logic of our world." He repeated. "You must have a very clear image of what you want to create, like this one for example." He said as he pointed at the pipe. "By using the insides of an hollow pipe, and using simple automatic machinery that works with the slight movement activation, I created a mechanism on the inside to have a blade come out when a sudden thrust is give to it." He explained the workings of the hidden blade. "Simple yes, but in a really fight this could be a deadly weapon in the right hands, so with this teachings you can create much more than just this, you can create things that this world has never seen or heard before, all you need is knowledge, a little imagination and most importantly the determination as well as motivation to not give up on your idea, and never before seen creation is yours for the making." He concluded as he gave the pipe weapon to Tenten. "So, any questions?" he then asked with a smirk on his face.
Tenten soon grabbed it and then began to examine it, she gave a thrusted and the blade came out. This made a smile appeared on her face. "Just one. . ." She started. "When do we start!?" She asked with excitement and sparkles in her eyes.
At the Hokage Tower. . .
Ino had just finished explaining the details of the mission. "And that's what happened in the end Tsunade-sama." She finalized as she had a satisfied smirk on her face.
Upon hearing this report, Tsunade also gain a smirk, but hers was filled with much more satisfaction, just border line of one of a sadistic one. "Excellent work , I see we both got what we wanted without those three finding out anything." She declared as she clasp her hands together.
Ino smiled widely to that. "Yup, it would had been bad on my part if I didn't fulfilled my end of the bargain." She commented as she hid a frown. "Though now I wonder where Naruto got those clothes of his. . .maybe next time I should question him." She then muttered as she placed her hand on her chin as she honestly wanted to know.
"You can worry about that later." Tsunade responded as she heard the young blonde's muttering, as she then looked at the Ino with a serious expression. "How would you determine the abilities of Team Seven?" She then questioned.
"Eh?" Ino got out, not expecting the Hokage to asked that sort of question, especially to her at least, she then tilted her head and began to recalled what she saw. "Well. . .they really do work well together and not just because of their relationship." She started.
"How so?" Tsunade asked as she waited with patience.
"Well, in the report I mention about the chase, well during that persecution, the three shown a remarkable teamwork from the three as a whole, Hinata had an incredible planning strategy skills that could give Shikamaru a run for his money, as well as an almost flawless execution from Naruto and Satsuki, as he took the actress in the small window during the chase, as Hinata took her place and Satsuki flawlessly took out the leader of the group." Ino explained, listing off each piece. "Well this was when they thought it was an actual attempted kidnaping that is." She then added as she raised her hands up and shrugged her shoulders.
To that, Tsunade nodded as she recalled the Team Seven members fighting Kabuto, how the three indeed work almost flawlessly against the glasses wearing traitor, both individually and as a team, how they manage to convince and as well bringing her to Konoha to deal with the civil war. "Impressive, she manage to get the same conclusion as I had when I first meet them." She thought to herself, getting more intrigued by the girl in front of her. "Mmm. . .maybe it's a good chance to get to know my perverted little godson and his little girlfriends better." She added in her mind. "And what can you tell me about them? Individually. And what is your personal relationship with each of them?" She then questioned.
Ino once again placed her hand on her chin as she thought about it. "Well first there's Hinata, back at the academy she used to be the shy and a real wall flower like girl, she couldn't really talk to someone without stuttering a storm and she had an obvious crush on the certain blond prankster you and I know." She began the description of the female Hyuga of Team Seven..
Tsunade blinked a couple of times to that as she then recalled how Hinata acted during the hunt. "Really? I myself find it hard to believe that the Hyuga was like that." She commented.
Ino giggled to that in response. "I wouldn't blame you Hokage-sama, I myself was also shocked by the complete personality change, but it's the truth." She reassured. "But I also think that being with Naruto was what changed her." She added.
"So it was a slight confidence boost from the gaki and a little influence when the two started dating then." Tsunade deducted.
Ino merely shrugged her shoulders in response. "That's what I thought, although I get the feeling it's more than just that." She got out as she began to try and remember how that happen. "After all it was about in the second part of the Chunin exam that she really made that improvement, so something most had happened during that time." She then theorist.
"I see," Tsunade responded with a nod. "And it is possible from what Jiraiya told me, that the Hyuga's improvement might've also have been from a slight influence from Kurama making her a pseudo-jinchūriki to prevent her and the succubus like Uchiha from going to Orochimaru. . ." She thought as she tried to fit the pieces together. "But it's very impressive that she got a grasp on that much without knowing anything at the time." She added in her mind with an impressed tone. "And what about the blond gaki and the Uchiha?" She then asked, deciding to get as much information as possible.
This got Ino to regain her attention to her leader. "Oh! Yeah, well. . .Please forgive me for saying this but at first. . .I really didn't care much for Naruto at the academy." She began to say with a hint of regret on that decision.
Sensing that, Tsunade just nodded and decided not to make any prejudgements. "Go on." She ordered with a neutral tone.
Ino noded in response to that. "Yes, well at the academy he was the dead last of the class so me and probably most of our class didn't thought of him as anything but an annoying failure so I personally never wanted to hang out with him, but just to make clear, I never believed those rumors before I found out that he was the jinchūriki, a monster or the Fourth Hokage's son, I just never like him personally that's all." She explain as she wanted to make clear that she never hated him. "I was. . .just more interested in Satsuki-chan at the time when she was disguised as Sasuke." She then added.
Tsunade could feel that the fellow blonde was telling the truth so she decided to not held it against her. "Very well, and how to you think of him now?" She asked.
"Well I'm not one of his new fangirls." Ino then joked with a giggle escaping her mouth which made Tsunade growled at that little comment, this made Ino to quickly shut up as she saw that her leader didn't like fangirls too much. "A-Anyways. . .I now see him a good and loyal friend, but I also don't see him as anything like a dead last, his now a very good ninja and I can pretty much admit that aside from Satsuki and Hinata, he may be the strongest out of our entire age group." She then added with a sincere tone.
After calming down, Tsunade once more nodded to that. "That can be an understatement to say the least, especially with the Nine-Tails in him, but he also learned a jutsu that would take years to master in a manner of days out of pure hard work." She stated/bragged to his godson accomplishments.
In response, Ino did a double take to that. "He did what now!?" SHe asked in shocked.
Tsunade simply smirk at the baffled expression on the girl's face. "Mastering one of his father's jutsus, one that took him and Jiraiya years to master. Same with those girls of him." She briefly explained.
Ino merely giggled awkwardly as she had a sweatdrop running down her forehead. "OK. . .I really am glad that we're friends now. . ." She got out with a small chuckle as well with a slight fear in her tone.
Tsunade once again smirk to that. "Yes you are." She stated in a joking manner as she then got serious. "And finally, what can you tell me of the Uchiha?" She finally asked, as she and Naruto were the ones she really wanted to know. "That little succubus is going to get it in the end. . .I swear it. . ." She thought in a devilish tone as she then remembered something. "Oh! And you can skip about her past, she already told me about how she disguised herself as a male since the Uchiha Massacre out of fear of the Clan Restoration Act." She then added as she had a hint of anger and fury in her tone.
Ino slightly winced as she rubbed the back of her neck. "Well. . .like I said before, I used to think she was a hot guy and like more of the other girls, I had a crush on him and wanted to possess him all to myself." She admitted.
Tsunade's eye began to twitch to that. "And?" She asked as she really hope there was more to that, or she would deal with a very scary fangirl hater.
Ino shivered as she gulped. "W-Well, after learning about the real girl, I admitting was a bit jealous at the fact that she had the massive bust she had." She added to what she had to admit while she began to pull her hair violently. "I mean seriously! Double D cups at twelve!? How the hell can you be that lucky!?" She added the question with much jealousy in her voice.
Tsunade sighed to that in response. "Let's just say that a curse embedded in girls of the Uchiha Clan, they are both blessed and cursed with breasts like that at a young age." She explained. "It's what my grandfather told me when he was teaching me to gamble when he was having one of his drunken moments." She added, as he was the one the influence the woman in the evils of gambling.
Ino on the other hand had a completely lifeless face as Tsunade had unintentionally killed her hope of getting breasts like those and that Satsuki was predetermined with having killer breasts. "THAT SO NOT FAIR!" She roared in her mind with uncontrollable fury and jealousy.
"I believe we're getting off topic now." Tsunade stated in a serious tone as she lightly bopped the girl on the head. "Give me some more details on the Uchiha." She then ordered.
"Ow! Hai. . ." Ino got out as she rubbed her now throbbing head. "Well, after I learn the truth about her gender I found out that Satsuki was an really incredibly strong, likeable and sociable girl, the complete opposite of Sasuke." She listed off with a smile. "And to tell you the truth, had I even tried to talk to the three of them, I sure we would had been really good friends. . ." She added as she looked downwards and had a sad look on her face.
To that last bit, Tsunade could feel the regret in her tone. "I see, so if you had the chance, you would want to go on more missions with her to become better friends with her and the rest of Team Seven?" She then asked.
This made Ino raise her head and nodded with a happy smile. "Yeah! Being with them makes me feel like I could be better than I ever thought I could had ever would had." She stated with pure honesty.
Tsunade gave a gentle smile to that. "Well, at least it shows that you're trying to change yourself." She stated as she then looked out the window. "Come back here tomorrow for another mission, except this one being by yourself." She then ordered.
Ino looked confused to that, but she nodded all the same. "I understand, Hokage-sama." She replied with a small bow.
Tsunade nodded to that. "Very well, that will be all, your dismissed." She concluded.
"Hai!" Ino replied as he gave another bow and then turn around to leave the office.
Once the younger blonde had left her office, Tsunade leaned back on her chair. "Well I got my small revenge and I got the info I wanted from my godson and the girls." She commented with a smirk, as it then turn into a sly smile when she remembered what the female blonde Chunin had said during their discussion. "This girl has the potential for being an interrogator." She thought with a very intense fascination to the young girl's potential.
One day later. . .
Back on the ship, the skies was now darker shades as they were now really closed to get to their destination, then the three young Chunin all sneezed in unison. "Someone must be talking about us." Satsuki got out as she and the others huddled around a furnace inside of the ship to stay warm.
"Probably your fan clubs." Kurama joked as he once more rested against the side of the boat.
This made the trio to gain a shivered down their spines. "Don't remind us dattebayo. . ." Naruto groaned out.
Just then, the ship suddenly stopped. "Whoa!" Naruto shouted as he fell backwards.
"Kya!" The both girl shouted as they too fell, but they fell forward and right on top of Naruto. "Ouch. . ." Satsuki got out.
"Is everyone okay?" Hinata asked.
Yeah I'm ok." Satsuki replied.
"Um, girls?" Naruto asked with a muffled tone, these made the girl moan from the sudden vibration before they both looked down and they saw that they were pressing their breasts into his face. "While I don't mind your melons on my face, can you please get off me dattebayo?" He then asked via mind link.
Both girl's face turn scarlet red as they stood back up with incredible speeds. "Geez Naru-kun, if you wanted to feel them, you could had at least do it in bed with Nata-chan." Satsuki then stated in a seductive tone while licking her lips.
Now it was Naruto's turn to become fully red while Hinata was now crimson red. "S-Satsuki-chan. . ." The two then got out in stuttering unison.
Kurama on the other hand was laughing perversely to all that. "That ero perv is going to love to hear about this! And Anko-chan would be so proud of her so called little sister!" He declared.
Satsuki merely shrugged her shoulders to that. "It's just my way of showing my love for my hot man and sexy woman." She explained. "Naru-kun and Nata-chan were the best things that had ever happened to me." She declared proudly.
"D-D-Director! This is terrible!" The shout of a film crew member could be heard from the outside.
"Something must've happened." Naruto stated as he looked towards the door. "We better go and check it out." He then said.
"Right!" Both girls replied while nodding at the same time.
Kurama just sighed to that in annoyance. "Too early for this. . ." He whined with a grumble.
The four of them run out their rooms and they saw every single person out staring at something, then they looked up and they gasped in unison, while Kurama whistled at the sight. "That's one big iceberg dattebakon!" The Uchiha Heiress exclaimed as she pointed at it while the other three said nothing but looked at it.
"What is this!?" The director got out with a baffled expression.
"When I woke up this morning, out path was blocked!" The director's assistant told him with a worried tone. "What should we do!?" He then frighteningly asked.
The director then went silent as he began to think. Then after a moment his eyes suddenly open his eyes. "This is it! This movie is gonna change everything!" He suddenly declared.
"Huh?" His assistant got out with confusion.
"Fool! Look at this perfect location!" The director suddenly shouted as he pointed at said location with his hand. "How can we not shoot here!?" He then declared.
"Huh? HUH!?" His assistant shouted in shock.
The director tighten his fist with passion. "When things like this happen, we say 'the Movie God has descended!'" He said with passion as he then pointed as his crew. Everyone, prepare to disembark!" He then ordered.
"You gotta be kidding me dattebakon. . ." Satsuki got out.
"Well, now. . ."A very familiar voice said, these made the trio to turn around and saw it was Haku and their lazy sensei as they walk towards them. "It will make things interesting, huh?" He commented with a smile on his face.
"Yeah right. . .It freezing out here dattebayo!" Naruto shouted as he began to shake uncontrollably while the girls did so as well, but with less overreaction then their future husband.
"Well it could had been worse had you haven't already had your clothings." Haku replied with a chuckle.
"He got you with that one kit." Kurama then remarked with a witty smirk. "I don't even feel a thing." He then boasted in a cocky tone of voice
"Only because that body isn't technically real ero-kitsune. . ." Satsuki retorted with narrow eyes as she blow hot air to her hands and then rub them together to gain some heat.
"But it's as Haku-sensei said, be glad that we came prepared." Hinata reminded.
"Only because we had Ino to bug the hell out of us to wear them for her fashion obsession. . ." Naruto stated with a deadpan expression.
"So true Naru-kun." Satsuki agreed as she grabbed Naruto's arm and place it close to her body, trying to gain more warmth as this action made said blond gain his own warmth via blood pumping throughout his body and face.
Hinata saw this action and decided to do the same. "At least you found an excuse to share your love Satsuki-chan." She got out with a giggle as she herself did the same with Naruto's remaining arm.
"You do know that you three can just use my chakra to warm yourselves up right?" Kurama then stated. "I swear I told you about that." He then added with his arms crossed over his chest.
"We know!" They instantly replied as Satsuki had a huge grin on her face and Hinata simply smiled happily at the close contact.
Naruto merely smiled back as he let the two cuddle up to him. "Good to see that you two still love a crazy blond like me after everything." He then joked with a chuckle.
"Well, as enjoyable as watching this, I think we're being called." Kakashi interrupted with his normal lazy tone while pointing at the camera crew.
"Hey! We need help here! So get the equipment down now!" The Director shouted towards the shinobis. "And if you damage it, you're paying the repairs!" He added.
Satsuki then pouted to that as she stopped her cuddling and stood. "Hai. . ." She got out in a somewhat unenthusiastic tone. "When this over, the three of us are going to enjoy a long and warm night of naked cuddle time Naru-kun, Nata-chan!" She demanded via mind link in a more excited tone as she when on ahead with her hips swaying from side to side.
Naruto nearly got a nosebleed to that, while Hinata's face was dark red and her front hair cover her eyes.
"Yeah. . ." Kurama then started with his own nosebleed. "She is definitely different from other female Uchihas, they were never that seductive. . ." He admitted with a perverted chuckle. Though that was short lived as Naruto did another drop kick, but Kurama was ready and dodge it. "Ha! Not this time!" He bragged, however he was to busy bragging that he missed Hinata giving a Juken strike. . .down below. . . "AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!" He then started wailing in a high pitched and girlish tone as he fell to his knees while grabbing his lower region in agony.
To this, Naruto and Hinata didn't even so much as look at the agonizing Bijū as they simply when to help out the crew, but Kakashi and Haku could see that they both had a very satisfying expressions on their faces.
"I think he would had preffered to had fallen to the ice waters instead of that." Kakashi simply commented.
"I had to agree." Haku simply replied as he and his step-father when after their students. As the discussion went on, they all ignored the whimpering Bijū as they went to help with setting up for the movie scene.
"There. . .so going to get it for this. . ." Kurama got out as his voice still sounded high pitched while he planed for his his revenge, he then tried to get up only to feel the after effects of a Juken palm strike to his lower part. "AAAAAAAAHHHHH! FORGIVE ME ANKO-CHAN!" He then wailed in pain as he fell onto his face.
After a few minutes. . .
Yukie and the rest of the main cast were in front of a portable heater to gain warmth as the were waiting to start acting. As Yukie, Naruto, Satsuki and surprisingly Hinata gave a group big yawn. "Too early, too cold." They all thought in unison.
"All right, we're ready to roll! Stand by!" One of the film crew declared.
Then the assistant manager place the clapperboard in front of the camera. "All right, scene 36, cut 22. Action!" He declared as he gave a big snap of the clapper.
On top of the iceberg the movie villain began to laugh evilly as he looked at Princess Gale and her remaining comrades. "So you made it here, Princess Gale!" He declared with arrogance.
Instantly, Gale and her companion place their hands onto their weapons. "You're. . .Mao!" Gale shouted in surprise.
"Princess! Please stay back!" Sukeakuro told her as he blocked her with his hand.
"We will take care of him!" Bunkinto added as he too agreed with his comrade.
Mao only scoffed at this. "All your worthless men are no match for me!" He declared and with a stretch of his hand he was ready to make his attack.
Suddenly at the exact time Mao did this. . .
BOOM!
An explosion suddenly came from the top of the iceberg.
This startled Mao as he turn around. "Huh? What's going on?" He asked with a confused and baffled tone.
Everyone then turned to see that Kakashi had thrown something to where the explosion went off. "What're you doing!?" The director angrily asked at the Jonin.
"All of you, get back!" Kakashi suddenly ordered with a serious tone.
"Father, that was. . ." Haku started as he prepared himself.
Up where Kakashi had thrown the explosive kunai, the snow was beginning to shift and then came out as he didn't had a single scratch on him. The teal haired man then looked down at the crew and shinobis. "Welcome, to the Land of Snow." He declared as he crossed his arms and gave a small smirk.
Kakashi's eye widen as he looked at the man. "You're. . .!" He got out the sight of the shinobi. Then he turn to Mao's right and they saw a woman with pink hair tied in pigtails.
"I welcome you, Princess Koyuki. . ." The female revealed. "You did bring the Hex Crystal, didn't you?" She then asked.
Kakashi meanwhile gasped in honest surprise as he turn his face to Yukie. "Princess Koyuki!?" He got out in a shock tone.
"Huh!?" Satsuki got out as she watched what was going on. "Princess Koyuki?" She thought in confusion as she looked at Yukie. "Oh no way dattebakon!" She exclaimed in her head.
The others could only have a baffled expression as they didn't understand what just happen.
Suddenly, a few meters away from the other, a beefy man came out of the snow. "I've gotta hand it to you, Kakashi Hatake. . .We couldn't get any closer than this." The man declared began with a chuckle.
"Naruto, Satsuki, Hinata!" Kakashi shouted gaining the trios attention. "Protect Yukie! Haku, your with me!" He ordered with his single eye was filled with absolute seriousness, his team only nodding in response as they got their weapons out. "Everyone, return to the ship!" He then added to the crew, who was just confused at what was going on
"Fubuki, Mizore, get Princess Koyuki." The teal haired man ordered in a calm tone as he jumped down.
"Yare yare. . ." Mizore simple said as she too jumped.
Kakashi didn't waste any time as he dashed forwards and climb up the ice mountain, then they both stop right before the classed and began to stare at one another.
"It's been awhile, Kakashi. Not running away? Like last time?" The teal haired man taunted.
"Nadare Rōga." Kakashi revealed as he knew who the man was.
Then the two dashed forward and both gave a small brief fight as Kakashi jumped backwards to dodge Nadare's kick. The two began to climb up the ice mountains as they continued their battle until the temperature started to go down even further as the enemy didn't notice a mirror hovering over him.
Back with the trio, they all took a protective formation around Yukie and the other two actors.
Naruto smirked as he took out a scroll and unsealed his Executioner's Blade. "Looks like we can finally get in on the action! We can finally warm up now dattebayo!" He remarked as he took his kenjutsu battle stance.
Satsuki took out her new shield and place it on top of her metal bracelet on her left arm and made an strapping click sound. "I always wanted to be in the movies dattebakon!" She agreed as she hold her tanto in her right hand.
Hinata took her Juken battle stance and activated her Byakugan. "Hai!" She also agreed with nod as she let her chakra coat her palms. "We'll protect Yukie-san." She then stated.
Naruto was the first to act as he charge at the beefy male enemy known as Mizore.
"Fuckin' knew something was going to happen!" Kurama got out as he stealthily returned to the seal. "Kit, run wild! Girls, you do the same and kick ass already!" He then ordered.
Mizore then took out a metal board and place it on the snow, after that he jumped ontop of it and it began to move him at incredible speeds.
Naruto dodge his initial charge with ease as Fubuki then made a quick turn around and charge again. This time however Naruto was ready and got into position as he stretched his blade and charge forward. "Take this!" Naruto declared as he swing his blade at the enemy.
Mizore didn't so much as looked the least bit worried or concerned as he only smirk.
Kurama's eyes widen when he felt something from the enemy's armor. "Kit! Get out of the way!" He then ordered.
Naruto though confused by this did as he was told as he move to his right to dodge, but his blade was still in the path of the charging shinobi. Just when the blade and Mizore meet each other, a energy field appeared around the area of impact that made Naruto loose his hold of his sword, losing it it in the process. "Shit!" He swore as he watched spinning through the air.
Satsuki however started going through the hand signs as her final one was the monkey hand sign. "Lightning Style: Spak Bullet!" She declared as she began to fire small bolts of electricity from her hand.
Hinata meanwhile also went through a group of hand signs as she landed on the tiger sign. "Water Style: Liquid Bullet!" She stated as her cheeks expanded before firing water at a high velocity at the pink haired shinobi as well.
Unfortunately it was all for not as just like when Naruto's sword had hit Fubuki, the attacks also were repealed.
"What the hell!?" Satsuki got out at the sight of their jutsu's disperse.
Hinata meanwhile looked at their opponent, using her Byakugan and began to focus on the man, they she was that the enemy was completely covered in a barrier of chakra. "It's their armor! It looks like it's producing some kind of barrier!" She reported to her teammates/fiancés via mental link.
"There what!?" Naruto got out in shock as he quickly went to get his blade back.
"I figured as much, those armors did emit a large amount of chakra, so it was used as a barrier." Kurama stated with narrow eyes.
But before they could say anything else, Mizore came down the snow with the same metal board. "Ice Style: Tsubame Blizzard!" She declared as ice shape projectiles went after both girls.
Both Satsuki and Hinata manage to dodge the attack by cartwheeling out of the was of the attack."Ice Style?" Hinata thought as she had to dodged another oncoming attack from the birds of ice. "They're different from Haku-sensei's." She revealed once more via mind link.
"Well lets see if their just as strong!" Satsuki declared as she began to go through the hand signs again, this time ending with a tiger seal. "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" She declared as the name implied a giant fireball was sent after the birds of ice, melting them on contact . This instantly made Satsuki smirk at what happened. "See! Not even close to Haku-sensei!" She declared.
"We still have to hold these guys off." Naruto reminded as he was able to get his sword back before narrowing his eyes as he then turn towards the Hyuga Heiress. "Hinata-chan! Help Princess Gale and the other get to safety!" He ordered her.
"Right!" Hinata responded with a nod as she then dashed towards the stunned actors.
Yukie meanwhile gain a shocked expression at the sight of this shinobi battle. Hinata then appeared in front of the actors. "Hurry! Please return to the ship for your own safety!" She told her and the other actors. The two actors instantly complied and began to run, but Yukie didn't so much as move a muscle. "Yukie-san!? What's wrong!?" She asked the young woman.
Satsuki meanwhile got a quick glance at the actress as she then went to rush in at the pink haired shinobi. "A trauma, I know that look anywhere. . ." She stated to the others via mind link.
"Princess!" Yukie's manager called out.
This made Yukie's eyes to widen as she slowly turn towards him. "Sandayū. . .you. . ." he called out as she had figured out something about the manager.
But before anyone could do anything else. "Ice Prison Jutsu." Fubuki declared as she placed her right index and middle finger on the icy ground. Instantly, many ice pillars began to erupt from the icy ground under them and began to head towards Satsuki.
"Shit!" Satsuki swore out as she began dodging. "Shit shit shit shit shit!" She kept repeating as she kept moving from pillar after another.
"Use this to move towards the enemy!" Kurama advised to the Uchiha. "Turn the attack against her!" He ordered.
"Huh!?" Satsuki got out as she continued to dodge the attack she then understood what he meant. "Oh! I get it!" She got out as he made a quick turn and headed towards the enemy kunoichi. "SURPRISE BITCH!" She then called out as she jumped on top of one of the pillars that was already out and jumped above her.
The pillars then rushed right towards it's caster. "Like that would work idiot!" She could out as she simply made more pillars as a shield and stopped the attack.
"Gotcha dattebakon!" Satsuki's voice called out as she was right on top of her made the same hand seals as before. "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" She called out again as she unleashed her fire jutsu.
"Damn!" Fubuki swore as she was hit with the jutsu, but like the other one, the jutsu only dispersed. "Is that what you thought I would say?" She remarked with a smirk.
Satsuki only smirked as she then suddenly exploded in a puff of smoke.
"Huh!?" Fubuki got out as she then saw a blur right below her.
"You really thought that was my only trick ya pink haired bitch," Satsuki taunted from behind the female pink haired shinobi. "Well you're wrong!" She declared while balling a fist and delivering it straight to her face, sending her flying as a result. Unfortunately, it wasn't strong enough as she quickly recovered and sent another barrage of ice birds towards her. "Crap!" She got out as she forced to dodge and deflect the attack with her blade as the attack was too fast and too close for Satsuki to use another fire ball.
Meanwhile at the sight of the fire, Yukie was left in a petrified state as memories of fire and ice began to fill her mind and fall to her knees in fear and terror. "Princess!" Sandayū called out once again
At the sound of the manager's shout, Naruto quickly turn to look. "Eyes on the fight!" Kurama shouted just in time when the bulky man charge at his host once again.
Naruto quickly turned as saw the man went and used his armored arm to delivered a massive punch at him. "Dammit!" He got out without his blade he was forced to dodge the initial attack, but the man didn't stop his assault as he continued to throw punch after punch, one of the punches always being from his huge metal armored hand.
"His faster than he looks and his a lot more stronger than you, if you let even one punch hit you, you're in a world of hurt." Kurama advised.
"No shit genius!" Naruto retorted as he desperately continued to dodge the barrage of punches. "Tell me something I didn't already figure out!" He added as he dodge a punch that nearly hit his head.
"Plus not to mention you can't use any Earth Style attack in this ice surface. . ." The demon fox then stated in a joking manner.
"Again, I don't need to be reminded dattebayo!" Naruto once again stated.
"So use your Wind Style attacks." Kurama soon ordered without missing a beat.
"But what about that armor!?" Naruto then asked.
Kurama only smirked as he added something more.
Naruto eyes widen when heared that. "SAY THAT AT THE START!" He roared as he focus his chakra at his feet and made a big leap on the air.
Mizore only smirked arrogantly. "Stupid move brat, you left yourself wide open!" He shouted as he stretched his metal arm ready for a heavy swing at Naruto.
As Naruto was doing a backflip, Mizore didn't saw that Naruto was making hand seals, once he finished readjusting himself in midair he gave him a big smirked. "Did I?" He said with a even bigger smirk.
The moment Mizore saw the the blonds hand was covered in wind chakra, he knew he messed up. "SHIT!" He shouted.
"WIND STYLE: BEAST WAVE PALM!" Naruto declared as he unleashed his jutsu.
But only for Mizore to grin in return. "Is that what you thought I would say!?" He shouted, the large man had full confidence that his armor would protect him, as he kept the same stance to be ready to hit Naruto with a full swing.
Naruto only grinned in return when the wave of air took a sudden turn and hit the large pillar of ice, cutting it in half. This caused it to fall right on top of the bulky man. "NO!" He shouted but it was to late at he was hit by the massive pillar.
Naruto grinded widely at this "Ha! It work!" He shouted as he landed on the ice ground.
"Yeah, because I told you do to it. " Kurama bragged. "If chakra based attacks don't work, then hit him with something solid or in this case a fuckin' huge pillar of ice!" He then added.
"Yeah yeah yeah!" Naruto responded mentally as he rolled his eyes as he unintentionally let his guard down.
Kurama's eye widen when he felt something coming fast. "KIT! INCOMING!" He shouted but it was too late.
Mizore suddenly appeared right below him as he then cock back his huge metal arm and with a sudden steam coming from its elbow part sent and even faster punch at Naruto. "SHIT!" Naruto cursed as the punch was so fast that he could react in time was sent flying straight into a pillar of ice, shattering it on contact and burying him.
Kakashi meanwhile glanced at the fallen actress as he then watched her manager taker her away. Then turn to look at his fallen student. "Naruto!" He shouted in concern. "Haku! Stale him! I got to help them!" He then ordered his stepson.
Haku without saying a word, did as he was told as he then dashed out of his mirror right behind Nadare as he used an ice sword to try and slash him, but the teal haired shinobi was fast enough to turn and block him.
"Oh, a fellow Ice Style user, I had no idea that Konoha was teaching their shinobis to use it." Nadare got out, being slightly impressed.
"You're wrong about that," Haku responded as he began to make single handed signs with his free hand and began to gather his ice chakra, this made the water around him start to form around the two shinobis and began to form hundreds of ice needles that hovered in the air them. "I am a true user of Ice Style as this is my bloodline." He revealed.
Nadare's eyes widen to this. "What!? The Ice Style Bloodline!? But they should've all perished during the Kiri Bloodline Massacre! One survived!?" He thought in shock to this revelation.
"Ice Style: Thousand Needles of Death!" Haku shouted as as he then jumped into the same mirror he came into dodge the attack.
"Dammit!" Nadare cursed as he was forced to do a Kawarimi just as one of the needled manage to hit him, but was distorted by his armor while the substitution was then hit by ice needles. The real one was a few feet away from the place his subtitle was attack. "That was close. . ." He thought with much relief as he decided to head were Kakashi went, but as he did, he failed to miss a tiny insignificant scratch on his armor.
Kakashi jumped down the mountain of ice as he went to Mizore while rapidly did an enormous amount of hand seals at insane velocity. "Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!" He declared as the water of the ocean began to rise to the icy ground as it then began to twist until it turn into a massive water dragon and gave out a might roar.
Hearing Kakashi's voice, Mizore turn and saw the massive dragon coming at him, but when the dragon hit him, the head of the beast dispersed upon contact with him and, using this change, he jumped out of the attack.
Not so far from the battle. . .
The director was still sitting in his seat as his crew was moving the filming equipment as they ran near the battle. "Keep rolling even if it kills you! Show them the cinematographer's pride!" He shouted with passion while they continued to film everything.
Back on the battlefield. . .
Naruto struggled to get back up as he removed a big piece of ice of him. "Ok. . .that hurt. . ." He got out with a painful tone.
"No shit genius, that was enough force to kill a lesser man." Kurama commented. "But are you a lesser man?" He then taunted.
"Hell no!" Naruto replied as he stood back up with his usual energetic self. "I'm going to be Hokage!" He then declared with conviction as he punched the sky.
On the other side of the battle field, Hinata and Satsuki heard the declaration of their favorite boy/lover and both giggled. "And we're gonna be his wife!" They both declared in unison via mental line, feeling reenergized.
This made Naruto blushed upon hearing that. "R-Right!" He then replied.
"Naruto!" Kakashi got out as he landed next to him.
This instantly made Naruto return to his battle stance and stood back to back with his sensei. "Sensei! Kurama told us that these guys have some kind of barrier like armor! Our jutsu's are useless!" He reported to his sensei.
"His right, those are Chakra Armor, invented specially for the Ninjas from the Land of Snow." Kakashi explained in a more calm tone.
"Chakra Armor?" Naruto asked as that was the first time hearing about this. "Have you ever heard something like that?" he then asked the girls via mental link.
"Never heard of it." Hinata replied.
"Me neither." Satsuki responded. "Though Tenten-chan would have a great time if we get one for her." She added in a joking manner as she could picture the brown hair weapon user drool at the sight of the armor.
Kakashi single eye then narrow slightly. "However it's far more effective than before." He mumbled to himself.
"So you remember. . ." Nadare asked. This made Kakashi turned and saw that Nadare was right on top of them on an ice mountain. "This armor increases the Chakra within one's own body and strengthens various Jutsu. A Chakra barrier is created around one's body. . . and deflects your chakra. . .creating an anti-Chakra barrier. Ninjutsu or Genjutsu. . .they're all useless!" He then explained in detail in a bragging tone.
Haku then came and landed right besides Hinata as he heard everything. "This is not good, these armors will give them the advantage in a chakra base battle." He commented with a worried tone. "Though this does give me more jutsu obtaining. . ." He thought.
Then Nadare made a few hand seals. "Ice Style: Tearing Dragon Fierce Tiger!" He declared.
"Water Style: Water Dragon!" Kakashi then declared.
Then water and snow began to raise as the water turn into a water dragon, while the snow turn into a tiger/dragon hybrid. The two attacks charge at each other, but the water dragon was completely overpowered as it turn into ice and then shattered by the opponents attack. It then went after Naruto and Kakashi. This forced teacher and student to jumped out of the way.
As this was happening, Mizore rode his snowboard as he headed towards Hinata's position. He then stretched his metal arm while pointing at Yukie and it shot three strings at her, ensnaring her movement.
Hinata saw this and quickly intercepted that attack by pulling out a kunai and cutting them, then she took her Juken stance ready to fight the enemy.
Mizore continued to slide down with his metal board. "Get out of my way little girl!" He roared as he cocked back his huge fist.
Hinata easily saw that and with grace she narrowly dodge that attack, she then when to give a Juken strike at his head, but like before any jutsu the chakra that was sent to his head was deflected and only lightly hit him.
Seeing this, Mizore then gave a hammer strike at Hinata's head. Acting quickly, Hinata narrowly dodge the attack by jumping backwards. "I looks like the Chakra armor can also deflect the chaka from even my Juken strikes. . ." She analysed with a frown in her face as now her primary form of combat was now rendered useless. "This is not good. . ." She then added in her head.
Then in a fast movement, Mizore readjusted himself and jumped upward as he then gave another swing of his hammer like arm, this time Hinata could dodge this attack and was sent crashing down. "Ah!" She cried in pain as she spat out small amounts of blood.
"NATA-CHAN!" Satsuki screamed as she saw the pain her fellow fiancé was in, but was unable to do a thing as she wa force to dodge another barrage of ice birds. "Oh you fuckers are dead now!" She roared in her mind in pure fury as whisker marks began to appear on her face.
Naruto however looked at this with widen eyes as his eyes began to slowly change. "Shit. . .the beefcake made a huge mistake." Kurama commented as he could feel some of his chakra being flown into his host.
Mizore then readjust himself as he was preparing himself for another blow to the fallen Hyuga. "Say good night little girl!" He shouted with a grin.
Hinata could do nothing as she was just now began to use Kurama's chakra to heal, so she was completely left vulnerable. Hinata could only shut her eyes as she waited for the attack.
Then Mizore's huge hammer fist swung down with all his strength, as it was only a meter away from hitting her however. . .
"GAH!" Mizore screamed in pain as he was sent flying upon feeling a fist to the face. He then began to roll on the icy ground as he then stood back up while feeling his busted cheek that was now bleeding. "Who the hell!?" He got out as he looked where Hinata was located.
Where he was originally was Naruto, who had his arm stretched out in the form of a fist, signifying that it was him that punched the enemy shinobi. His eyes were now red and his pupil turn into fox like slits. "Don't you fuckin' hurt my girl. . .or I'll kill you dattebayo. . ." He growled out.
Even though Hinata was in pain, she still couldn't help but blush at being called his girl by her love. "N-Naruto-kun. . ." She weakly got out.
Mizore on the other hand was furious at being slugged by a child. "Don't get cocky you brat!" He roared in anger as he charged at Naruto while he cocked back his huge fist and sent it straight at the blond.
Naruto didn't so much a move a single muscle as he only stare at the incoming attack. Then when it was just a few meters away. . .
THUNK!
The sound of metal was heard when Naruto actually grabbed the fist with his right hand. Mizore was so mad that he didn't even processed what just happen as he then sent his other hand to punch Naruto, but like last time, that one too was caught by Naruto's' left hand.
The two then were locked in place as Mizore was struggling to move. "What is this Chakra. . .!?" He thought with shock and slight fear at the immense strength from the young boy.
While Naruto continued to hold him down while he looked at him with a wild look as his teeth turn into fangs.
On Satsuki's side. . .
Fuyuki meanwhile was having her own difficulty as an enraged Satsuki suddenly appeared in front of her and grabbed her by the neck. Satsuki's appearance seemed to be just as feral as she had a similar appearance as Naruto with whisker like mark and her eyes were a combination of her own Sharingan and fox like pupils. "YOU GUYS ARE FUCKED UP NOW BITCH!" She roared as she then went and slammed the pink haired shinobi to the ground, creating a massive crater where she landed.
"T-This chakra. . ." Fuyuki got out as blood leaked down from her head.
Satsuki then jumped towards her and place both her hands together to make a hammer fist, she then swung it with everything she got towards Fuyuki while said pink Kunoichi meanwhile had to jumped out of hte way as Satsuki's attack created a bigger creature by the impact of her attack.
The attack even sent some big ice debris towards Mizore that she was forced to use an ice pillar to protect herself. Then out of nowhere, ninja wire came and tied her to the pillar. "What!?" She shouted in startlement.
Satsuki meanwhile kept growling in a feral matter then went through the hand signs once more. "Fire Style: Nine Kitsune Flames!" She declared when she appeared right in front her.
"Wait what!?" Kurama exclaimed with wide eyes. "I didn't teach her that!" He stated in confusion. "How the hell is she using a kitsune based attack!?" He soon declared the question.
At the declaration, Satsuki's hair clumped up into nine tail-like bundles before the ends suddenly had blue flames at the end of them. "Burn in hell!" She roared as she sent the nine flames at the enemy.
The blue flames then used the ninja wire as guide and when straight at Fuyuki, then Satsuki gather more of Kurama's chakra as she did one more hand seal. "Fox Flame Dragon!" She then shouted as the nine flames merge together to make a giant fox/dragon hybrid and it let out a might roar while headed towards Fuyuki.
Thinking fast however, Fuyuki extended mechanical wings from her armor and cut through the wire, then just as the blue fox/dragon hybrid was about to hit her, she flew away with her wings, though the ice pillar that she used before was completely obliterated by Satsuki's attack.
Satsuki growled at the retreating Kunoichi. "Come back here bitch!" She roared at her, but it was a given that the enemy kunoichi didn't so much as replied to that as the Uchiha Heiress could only curse up a storm.
Back with Naruto. . .
Naruto was still holding down Mizore while said bulky man could only struggle to move.
Hinata meanwhile finally managed to heal all of her injuries and Kurama's chakra as she sighed with relief. "Thanks for healing me Kurama." She thanked him via mental link with a grateful tone.
Kurama only smirked at that. "No problem white eyes." He replied.
Hinata then stood up as she looked at her feral stated future husband. "I'm ok now Naruto-kun! I'm feeling much better now!" She told him.
Hearing Hinata's voice, this instantly calmed down Naruto and his eyes returned to normal. "Great! Get Princess Gale out of here!" He then ordered again while he kept Mizore at bay.
Hinata nodded as she turn towards the young woman. "Yukie-san, hurry and return to the ship!" She told the petrified woman as she was still on the ice ground.
Yukie then began to recalled more memories of her childhood, as images of a building catching on fire began to filled her mind.
"Princess!" Sandayū shouted loudly at her.
Then images of a broken mirror, a man laying on the ground and finally a smaller Yukie screaming at her father while she was being taken away by an ANBU filled her mind.
"What're you doing!?" Naruto asked as it was now getting difficult to hold Mizore off. "Hurry and go!" He then shouted.
"Princess! Hurry! We must get to the ship!" Sandayū pleaded to the actress.
"No. . ." Yukie replied as she hunkered down.
"You must hurry or your life will. . ." Sandayū he then tried to reason.
"I don't care if I die!" Yukie interrupted, shocking the man. "I won't go!" She then added with terror filled eyes and then held her head with both hands. "I won't go to the Land of Snow!" She shouted with a terror filled voice.
"Quit acting like a spoiled brat-!" Naruto tried to say but he couldn't say more as Mizore took this distraction to hit him and sent him flying. "OH KAMI DAMMIT!" He got out in annoyance.
Mizore then pointed his metal arm at Yukie once more, but unlike last time the whole metal hand part was sent flying, this time a feral looking Hinata. "Not this time dattebahi. . ." She declared in a calm tone as she then stood in front of the attack, she activated her reddish pink Byakugan and got into the Juken Stance.
Then as if in slow motion, Hinata stretched her arm out and hit the huge hand away. "WHAT!?" Mizore shouted in startlement at what the so called little girl he called battered away his attack as if it was nothing. But he quickly recovered as he recovered his weapon momentum and began to spin it around to gain a lot more speed and then he smashed it downwards.
Seeing this made Hinata's eyes widen. "Oh no!" She shouted as she knew she couldn't stop the attack this time even with a bit of Kurama's chakra. Thinking quickly, she then jumped backwards on reaction, but when the attack hit the icy ground it made a massive impacted that sent Hinata flying again. "KYA!" She got out as she then hit the ground and began to roll until she made a complete stop right next to Yukie and Sandayū.
Naruto finally manage to stand up as his eyes widen when he heard her scream. "Hinata-chan! Are you ok!?" She asked via mental link.
Hinata place her hand on her face as she shook her face to get rid of the slight pain. "Hai, it was just a lucky shot, I already recovered." She replied as her eyes returned to normal and she began to pant slightly.
While this was happening however, Yukie felled unconscious by all the mental stress. "Huh? Princess!"Sandayū shouted in concern as he kneeled besides her.
Kakashi meanwhile gasp as he saw that his students were in trouble. "Haku! The others are getting tired. Take care of him while I take care of the others from getting Yukie!" He ordered as he went towards the trios side.
"Where to you think your going Kakashi!?" Nadare shouted as he went after Kakashi.
Haku however didn't let him have his was as he conjured another ice sword and gave a vertical slash to halt his charge. "As if I'll let you!" He declared as he then went and did a horizontal slash.
Nadere easily dodge the attack by doing a backflip and took some distance. "Your good kid," He began as he gave a few hand seals. "But your not good enough against me! Ice Style: White Whale!" He finished as he conjured and gather a lot of his chakra for the jutsu.
Suddenly right in front of Haku, an enormous horned whale made of ice and snow emerge from the ice ground. But thanks to Haku's speed he made including ice mirrors and went inside to dodge the attack. unfortunately doing so was what Nadere wanted as the huge whale was then began to descend right on Kakashi's path, while said one eyed Jonin jumped away.
Satsuki then landed next to Naruto. "What the!?" She exclaimed as she saw the jutsu. "A WHALE!?" She then exclaimed.
"Uh. . .yeah. . ." Naruto got out as he then looked at the jutsu.
Hinata soon arrived as she also witnessed the jutsu "Run?" She then asked after a moment of silence.
"NO KIDDING! RUN YOU IDIOTS!" Kurama then exclaimed the order as the three did as such.
The whale was so huge that the moment it crash on the large ice land, it broke of a huge portion of it.
Kakashi then landed on top of one of the natural ice pillars in a crunching pose. "I see. . ." He began as his back was pointing at the enemy. "That was an interesting jutsu." He finished as he then turn to revealed that his Sharingan eye was now fully expose. "Well then. . .here's mine!" He declared with complete seriousness. "Naruto! Satsuki! Hinata! Take everyone and go!" He then ordered his students, as the three nodded and went and did as they were told.
"What about me?" Haku asked.
Once Kakashi saw that his students were now out of the way, he turn to his stepson. "You may take a few few back." He responded in a joking manner as he began to make the same hand signs as Nadere, seeing this Haku instantly did as he was told and used another mirror to get out of the way. "Ice style: White Whale!" He declared as an exact snow whale duplicate of Nadere's jutsu appeared behind him.
Haku was now near the trio as he saw his stepfather's jutsu with wide eyes. "That jutsu. . ." He got out with a rare slacked jaw expression. "I have got to learn that. . ." He admitted.
"At least you'll be able to." Hinata admitted.
Nadere however only smirk as he saw this. "A copycat. . .as always." He simply stated in an unimpressed tone and began to make the same seals as well. "But with the same jutsu. . .we can't settle this!" He then added as yet another whale emerger behind him.
"Settle?" Kakashi asked with sarcastic tone. "Sorry, but I can't grant that wish." He then added.
"What!?" Nadere asked as he was shock at hearing this.
Then as the two huge snow and ice whale were about to clash, Kakashi's suddenly bend slightly downwards. This made it push the other to the center of the iceberg like island, at the crash of both of the whales, crushing and completely destroying the center of ice island which in turn shattered everything else.
As these was happening the Team Seven members had already manage to secure the rest of the film members and boarded the ship while it began to ship sail as they watched the destruction. "Well. . ." Satsuki started as she gain the Naruto's and Hinata's attention. "That was a thing." She got out and the two could only nod in response, not able to say anything else to what happened.
JG (JGResidentEvil)'s A/N: What's up everyone! This is JGResidentEvil here with another complete chapter with my partner, fight2protect!
F2P (fight2protect)'s A/N: Yo! Glad to finally finish this! Sorry for the long wait, we were a little busy.
JG: In more ways than one. ^^"
F2P: Yup! To start with, I like to make an announcement.
JG: You mean we, correct?
F2P: You know what I mean! Anyways. . .the announcement is this, me and JG are proud to say that we as writers have finally level up! We no longer are beginers. . .we are now . . .AMATEUR RANK!
JG: You know it my friend! . . .thought that really doesn't make it sound any better. ^^"
F2P: True, most would think that, but we as writer feel proud to finally improve, so we like to made this announcement with a special gift for all our faithful readers.
JG: It may have been done before, but this times they are better, another complete rewrite of the first three chapter!
F2P: NO! They are now REMASTER!
JG: Oh yeah! XD But the title of the story is still gonna be the same.
F2P: Right, but we want to make one thing clear from the very start, we only remastering what was there to begin with and we will NOT change the major aspects of those first chapters.
JG: So no to making Satsuki-chan's personality a complete cut copy and paste of Sasuke. That concept has been done already so no to that!
F2P: Now what these remaster chapters WILL have is a much better structure to make the reading much better and flow more easily, they will filled in any plot holes it may have had before and have some additional scenes as well.
JG: Plus some sweet new titles, so you won't be confused. I will now place them below to let you know the new names of the three first chapter:
Chapter 1: Who is the true Last Uchiha!?
Chapter 2: A Spicy Wake-Up Call
Chapter 3: Ironic Teams Unleashed
So, what do you think? When everyone sees these titles, that means the the chapters have been remastered to the newest form, so keep an eye out for the three chapters. We can also tell all the bashers to suck it, we may be editing the chapters to make them better and remastered, but the criticism you can try to unleash for the bashing part of the fic and to make us change it will not change either.
F2P: Right! So suck it! No one is forcing you to read this fic!
JG: We however do have another reason for the long waiting for this chapter. . .and this reason was something that almost made me want to give up on writing. . .
F2P: This goes for those assholes that like wasting their lives making only negative criticisms on our fic without so much as mention ONE single positive nor constructive criticism.
JG: People say that negative criticism can be good for a person. . .well there's some people that it won't work the way they think. . .and I'm one of those people. . .
F2P: But don't think we're just saying this just to rant, we actually do accept criticism with both the good and the bad, but most people don't even know how to be a constructive criticism. As we did made an honorable mention of a reviewer before as he/she DID gave a very good criticism and THAT did help us improve. And we also did had another pre-reader to help out with the structure for the remastered chapters as well, so we were very thankful for that as we also improve because of that as well.
JG: That is true, however. . . we had to let him go when he made suggestions that completely went against what this story was originally. This all started with a certain site known as Spacebattles where they basically went and completely bashed this story when I only mentioned it and asked for ideas to help make it better. The site responded instantly with hate comments and other bullshit like 'delete the story all together'. . .there were also other things that went on that caused me to be derailed and unfocused when it came to writing. . .like an enhanced writer's block that was like a virus. . .
F2P: I'm just really glad that you didn't as that would put an end to this awesome story, as it still have much more of epic and funny moments for our true readers.
*Dangan Ronpa Theme starts playing*
JG: Eventually, I was able to get out of the criticism induced slump thanks to some of my college friends that reminded me this: 'It's a fan fiction, it's suppose to be where you can do whatever the fuck you want'.
F2P: HERE HERE! And they were 100% right! Fuck those haters! This is for YOUR amazing fic and you should only do what you think is right FOR you! And for those true and faithful readers that actually love this crap! XD
JG: This story may have canon moments, but this is not canon! Like how Team Seven doesn't have to be the same setup or personalities as the series! As long as there's at least a valid reason, it's alright!
F2P: Yeah! And for your loyal readers like that guest reviewer that we made the honorable mention, please give uses more criticism like that to help this make this fic even better. So we can show those haters that this story CAN be an awesome story! *Screams towards the heavens*
*Theme ends*
JG: This time, there isn't going to be review responses, oh no don't worry it's only for this time.
F2P: Right, this AN is for this announcement only we will make the responses on the next chapter. And we may have a small special thing for you, it's nothing special but hope you like it. Now for the- *stops suddenly and begins to look around*
JG: . . .What are you doing?
F2P: *Continues looking around* It's just their has been a. . .PLAGUE. . .of UNINVITED guests lately, so I just want to make sure this time it doesn't happen. . .
JG: Ah, I can't blame you for that, first Hinata's then Satsuki's, jeez that was annoying to deal with.
F2P: *Turns towards JG with angry expression* Are you kidding me!? Those three made my life a living hell last for the two chapters! I do NOT want to deal with someone looking for Naruto!
JG: *Sweat drops* Yeah, as if we need-
?: Mmm~? Did someone mention monsieur fox?
F2P: *Freezes up and pales* No. . .Please not him. . .*Mechanically turns around* anyone but HIM. . .
JG: *Eyes widen before twitching* OH FUCK ME! YOU THIS TIME!?
?: *Sudden heavy rock music* Oui monsieur! It is I ?!
F2P: *Screams like a lunatic and charges at ?*
?: *Easily dodges him as he grabbed F2P in a headlock before bring him to the ground* As I had thought, no allegiance whatsoever. *Wags finger*
JG: WHY ARE YOU HERE!? *Completely ignoring F2P's situation*
?: Mmm~? Why? *Stands up and releases the agonizing F2P* Well wouldn't I be here if not to show that unfashionable little fox that my ways are correct!
JG: *Slaps forehead* Really!? That's your reason!? We're aren't even up to you yet!
F2P: *Struggles to get back up* Sure. . .ignore the guy that's trying to keep this idiots a secret. . .
JG: My bad!
?: Enough of this Une bêtise! Let me battle monsieur fox!
F2P: You shut it! *Then begins to laugh evilly* To bad for you there's something you didn't know. . .
?: Oh~? And what is that monsieur F2P?
JG: *Groans, but hides fear of partner going insane.* Now what are you doing?
F2P: *Continues to laugh insanely* Did you think I was letting this happen again? I made sure of one thing if someone tried to come here.
JG/?: What/Nani?
F2P: We ran out of time! *Then laughs insanely*
JG: Oh yeah!
?: NOOOOOOOOOO~! *Then begins to run away in a dramatic fashion*
F2P: *Continues laughing insanely*
JG: Ok then, this has been JG along with F2P here signing off for now. Later everyone! *Starts inching away from the insane laughing F2P*
F2P: PEACE *Laughter* OUT! *laughter*
