Chapter 1: The bet of the world
Once upon a time, there's a wealthy family called Namikaze family; Minato, Kushina and their child, Naruko. They own a family company called; Global Trading Company. Minato the CEO, is a fair and noble man, raising his daughter to follow his footstep. But couple of the members of the Board of Directors; Jafar and Fugaku Uchiha are plotting behind Minato's back to overthrow him as CEO. It was after Minato and Kushina died in the accident, Fugaku took his chance, becoming temporality CEO till one of his sons is ready. And Naruko lost everything; her family, her family company, her home and her family money.
As times went by, Fugaku's younger son; Sasuke, took over as CEO of now corrupted company while poor Naruko was force to work in her lost family company as company's cleaner, never to be CEO. What worst, Sasuke keeps hitting her and trying to make her his wife. But deep down, Naruko hasn't give up hope, for someday, she'll regain her place in her family company.
In the broken down apartment, a 17 years girl with blond hair, is sleeping when her alarm clock went off. She stop it and got up. After brushing her teeth and get dress, Naruko went to have breakfast; a loaf of bread. Then she took out a small fish and cheese.
"Tom, Jerry!" Naruko said.
Then, a blue cat; Tom, and brown mouse; Jerry, rush over.
"It's not much." Naruko said as she hands them out, "It was the best I could do with my low payment."
Tom and Jerry accept the food.
"Now, I'm off to work." Naruko said as she put on he coat, "While I'm gone, you two, behave yourself."
Tom and Jerry nodding. Then once Naruko left the building...Jerry pull out a hammer and slam it on Toms foot, causing him to scream in pain. Tom glare at the mouse who then, run off, with Tom pursuing hm.
Meanwhile, Naruko pull out he golden pocket watch; her only treasure of her family, and check the time, "Only couple of minutes." She then, look at the door's inner, seeing the picture of herself when she was young, and her parents, "Mum, Dad, I'll get our family company back. Somehow..." Just then, she sees horse-drawn tram coming, "Right on the dot."
As the tram comes by, with badly any money, Naruko quickly jump and climb to the roof. An hour later, the tram was close enough for Naruko to jump off near the company, and walk in. Once she sort out paperwork, she went to her locker, grab her cleaner uniform and went to the bathroom to get change.
(Meanwhile)
The Bank of England was peaceful but then, an alarm went off. Then, a black clothed figure jump off the window. The figure runs off as the polices gathering around. The thief runs into the alley and coming out of the other side, is a 16 years old girl with long blue hair and lavender pupiless eyes, wearing purple shirt, black trousers, long blue coat and purple heeled shoes. Her name is Hinata Hyuga from Japan. She patting her handbag as she keeps moving, acting like a normal person.
(Meanwhile)
Naruko washing the window when few of employees; Mandy, Heather, Vegeta and Clayton arrive and saw her. With cruel smirk, they pick up the bin, sneak behind Naruko and then...dump the wastes on her, making a lot of mess around her. They laughs before went off to work. Naruko sighs a bit before cleaning up the mess when suddenly, her skirt lifts up, revealing drawers, causing her face to glow red in embarrassing as she quickly push her skirt down before turn to glare at the ladies; Anastasia and Drizella Tremaine smirking. Anastasia finishing up her apple before throw the apple core at Naruko.
"Clean it up, slave!" Anastasia said before she and her sister went off, laughing.
Seeing what happen, the rest of the employees; Kermit the Frog, Pink Panther, Shrek, Bob Parr, MR Toad, Yusei Fudo, Woody Woodpecker and Belle rush over, glaring at their mean co-workers before with a smile, help Naruko clean up.
"That's so wrong!" Shrek said as he put banana skin into the bin.
"You should be this Company CEO, not that spoiled brat!" Belle said.
"But there's not much of my family members in the Board of Directors." Naruko said, "So, there's nothing I can do, yet."
(Meanwhile)
Hinata walks along the streets. But she see the polices just arriving around so quickly, Hinata wet through the nearby door which is the door of the Global Trading Company. Seeing many people, she rush towards the locker room.
Back with Naruko, "By the way," Belle started, "On my way here, I have heard the Bank of England has been robbed."
"Well, no worries." Naruko said, "Scotland Yard will get that robber."
The staffs growls a bit for the commissioner of the Scotland Yard is...
(Scotland Yard HQ)
"So, let me see if I got this right." Mikoto Uchiha; Scotland Yard Commissioner started, "You were working when suddenly, a person wearing black uniform, including the head, and that person's pets, ambushed you and robbed at least, £700,000."
"Yep. That's correct." Goofy said.
Just then, Droopy Dog, Butch Dog, Spike and his son; Tyke, enter the place.
"Ma'am! We have the artist sketch, based on the eyewitness accounts about the robber's pets." Butch Dog said.
"Good work, inspectors." Mikoto said as she take the papers, sit across from Goofy, "Are those the one?" She asked as she show the first sketch which had chipmunks.
Goofy stare hard before shakes his head, "Nope. Not them."
"OK." Mikoto said as she slide the paper away, "How about this one?" But then, after seeing the second sketch, she's surprise before turn to glare at the inspectors as she hold that sketch out, "THOSE ARE MY SONS, YOU IDIOTS!"
"Oh, sorry, Commissioner!" Spike said.
"THAT'S THEM!" Goofy yelled as he's pointing at the third sketch, with faces of a cat and a mouse, similar to Tom and Jerry, "No doubt about it! It's definitely them. They were with the robber who robbed the bank!"
Mikoto took the sketch to have a look before turn towards inspectors, "Listen up, boys. I want you to find these animals and bring them for questioning. Here their picture."
Droopy Dog took the sketch, "You can count on us." With that, the inspectors went off.
(Meanwhile)
Naruko is cleaning the desk in the office. Just then, Sakura Haruno; the CEO's secretary, arrive.
"Hey you, loser!" Sakura call out to Naruko, "The CEO and the Board Member wishes to see you."
The Pink Panther quickly leap to Naruko's feet and shaking his head, begging Naruko to not to go.
Naruko free herself, "I'm not afraid of them." Then, she went towards the CEO's office.
Once in the office, Naruko see CEO Sasuke and his father drinking tea.
"Care for cup of tea from China, my dear?" Sasuke asked, "Taste great."
"I have no interests with you." Naruko said with a glare.
"No need to be grumpy." Fugaku said, "We're simply creating empire of the whole world."
"You're using MY family company for controlling the world." Naruko said.
"That's what the companies are for." Fugaku said, "Controlling everything."
"My father built this company to help out the world." Naruko said, "He's the most generous and most humble nobleman in the world."
"Your father, is a FOOL!" Fugaku said, "Why sharing when we can have them all?"
"We?" Naruko asked.
"I can see that you and I standing side by side." Sasuke said, "I'm the CEO and I need a wife to have a heir of this. So, for the future of this company, don't be so selfish."
"You are the selfish one." Naruko said.
"Nearly all staffs are loyal to your parents." Fugaku said, "As long you keep resisting your future husband, they will keep rejecting him and the Boards of Directors will have to remove Sasuke and my family will be back to lower life group. So, just stand by Sasuke and marry him. You and those staffs will be more happier than you have now."
"I will NEVER be his wife." Naruko said.
Fugaku growls in rage before he got up, grab Naruko by the hair and lead her outside the office, with Sasuke follows. When stand in front of everyone, Fugaku throw Naruko to the floor before place his foot on her head, pinned Naruko to the floor then, Sasuke tug Naruko's legs under her, rising her rear end in the air as Sakura handing Fugaku a flogger.
Seeing this, Belle rush over, "Leave her alone!" She grab hold on Fugaku's arm, "You have no authorities to do this!"
"I think you have forgotten that I'm one of the Board of Directors of this company." Fugaku said, "So, KEEP OUT OF THIS!" With that, Fugaku shove Belle away.
"Look." Bob Parr stated, "You can't just force someone to marry someone just because you're the board member."
"I'll make you marry my son, even if I have to whip you to do so." Fugaku muttered to Naruko before preparing the flogger.
But before Fugaku makes the first strike, someone grab his wrist. Everyone turn to see Itachi Uchiha; Fugaku's older son and the Governor of the Bank of England.
"Itachi?!" Fugaku asked.
"Not just him." Mikoto said as she join in.
Then once Fugaku's foot lift a bit, Belle and Bob Parr quickly grab Naruko and slide her off before leading her away. By the door, Hinata disguise a cleaner, is watching this without anyone seeing her.
"Now then, as most of you heard, someone robbed £700,000 from the Bank of England." Mikoto said, "My inspectors are searching for suspects as we speak."
"If you ask me, I'm glad that bank was robbed under Itachi's nose." Naruko said, "No offence, Itachi."
"None taken." Itachi said, can't blame her.
"MR Fugaku claimed the Uchiha's blood are superiors of all and no one outsmart them." Naruko said with a smirk, "Well, this today's event seems to beg to differ."
"Never mind that!" Fugaku yelled as employees that are loyal to Naruko, giggles and chuckles a bit, "Honey, do you know what the thief look like?"
"Not exactly." Mikoto said, "Whoever that robber is, has covered itself with black clothes, including the head. The only clue we know, is that the robber has two pets."
Hinata hearing this, was a bit confused.
"What make you guys think the robber is still in London?" Naruko sudden, asked, "If that robber is smart enough to outsmart Itachi and hide its face, the robber will be smart enough to get away, far away from London itself."
"Oh, really?" Sasuke asked, "OK then, Miss expert of thieves, what would that robber do?"
Naruko pull out her pocket watch, "Itachi, when was the Bank robbed?"
"At 9:15am." Itachi said.
"Then, 20 minutes later, a ship left Dover for Paris." Naruko started, "From here, the thief takes the Orient Express, where he or she, transfers to steamer, from Istanbul to India. In little over a month, that thief could be in one of few places that England haven't own yet; China."
Everyone who's loyal to Naruko, was amazes about Naruko calculations. Even Hinata was impress.
"Hah!" Fugaku said, "Next thing you would say, that anyone can circle the globe and return to England in a fortnight."
"Nope. By my calculations, it would be close to..." Naruko went in thought before continues, "Exactly 80 days."
The employees that loyal to Naruko and her family spirits, applauding for her...
"SILENCE!" Fugaku yelled, stopping them applauds before turn towards the brat, "If you think anyone can travel around the world in 80 days, then pick someone to do so and prove it."
"Very well." Naruko said, "I pick...myself!"
Everyone was shock.
"You?" Fugaku asked.
"I Naruko Uzumaki Namikaze, daughter of Minato and Kushina Namikaze, will prove that it's possible to travel around the world in 80 days."
Before Fugaku say anything, Sasuke step in, "Very well. Then, how about a wager?"
"Wager?" Naruko asked.
"Yes." Sasuke answered, "Name your price."
Naruko stare hard at Sasuke, "If I success the travel in 80 days, everything I lost by you and your father, goes back to me...ALL OF THEM! Every...last...one..."
Fugaku pale a bit.
"Very well." Sasuke said, shocking his father and his fellow board member who just arrived, "BUT, should you fail, you WILL become my wife, and do all the chores; cleaning, cooking and giving me lots of boys. And to add bonus for me, you'll do all those, naked."
Everyone are getting tenses.
Itachi step forward, "Foolish brother, you can't just..."
"Done!" Naruko said.
Everyone surprise about this, even Hinata.
"I, Naruko Uzumaki Namikaze, agree with your term that should I fail, I'll throw away my freedom and be your wife." Naruko said, "The challenging starts tonight." With that, Naruko went off.
The loyal employees gather around and Shrek hold out some straws, "OK, we're drawing straws to see which one of us goes with Naruko. That Uchiha brat will try to cheat."
Others nodding before they take turn drawing a straw. Shrek draw the longest.
"Shrek, we're counting on you." Belle said, "Watch over our true CEO."
A while later, Shrek has exist the building, "OK, better let my family know that I be gone for 80 days."
Suddenly, as he pass the alley, Shrek was hit on the head with a frying pan, and Hinata step out.
"Sorry, sir." Hinata said, "I need to take this spot."
With that, after pulling Shrek into the company's closet and push him in, Hinata run out and looking for Naruko. She managed to find her walking alone, rushing to catch her, "EXCUSE ME?!"
Naruko stop and turn to see a lady coming.
"I've been asked by your fellow co-workers to go with you and help you out." Hinata said.
"I don't need help." Naruko said, "I can do this without anyone's help." Then she carry on.
Not wanting to give up, Hinata follows, "Your friends are worried that Sasuke might cheat."
"He WILL cheat." Naruko said, "But I'll be ready for that. Besides, I already have two allies I have in mind who's brilliant at working together."
Not longer after saying that, once reaching her apartment, there is a crashing sounds and few things throwing around.
"Most of the time." Naruko muttered as she enter the apartment with Hinata following.
Nearby, Droopy, Butch, Spike and Tyke are walking along the streets, searching for the suspects when a picture frame land on Butch's face, "Hey, watch it!" He yelled before looking at the picture carefully then his eyes widen, "It's them!"
Droopy, Spike and Tyke gathering, seeing a picture of Naruko, Tom and Jerry. Spike took out the sketch and look at it before look at the picture, then back to sketch, then back to picture. He does it many times.
"They badly look alike." Spike said with Tyke bark in agreement.
"And that girl must be the bank robber, no doubt about it!" Butch said, "We must tell the commissioner at once!"
Within the apartment, Jerry was running away from Tom who's holding a frying pan. After few runs, Jerry pick up the streel pipe and hit Tom's knee before Tom wrack him with frying pan. The pipe and pan hitting goes on and speed up for a while before the pipe and pan disappear without them notices. Tom and Jerry swinging their arms like they're still holding pipe and pan, for a while before realizes they not holding anything. They turn to see firmed Naruko. Tom and Jerry smile sheepish.
"Honestly, guys." Naruko said before notices the girl's smirking, "FINE, FINE! You can come. But don't drag us down! Now, go get your things and meet us at Dover deck in exactly 30 minutes. Don't be late or we'll leave without you."
"Right, getting my things." Hinata said as she step back few times, "See you soon!" Quickly, Hinata rush out fast.
"Strange girl; whatever her name is." Naruko said before turn towards her animal friends, "Tom, Jerry, get yourself ready. We are going for a little trip."
Tom and Jerry were confuse about this as Naruko start packing.
"I mean, we are going around the world through 80 days." Naruko said.
Surprise at this, Tom and Jerry did the cartoonish pocketing and pull out the insides, penniless.
"I know we badly have any money." Naruko said, "But we'll find a way. I MUST find the way."
"Perhaps with your family money, ma'am." A gentle voice suggested.
"That would be helpful, Alfred." Naruko started as she close her suitcase, "But you know..." Naruko's eyes widen before turn to see Alfred Pennyworth; her family's butler, "ALFRED!"
She quickly run towards Alfred and hug him who hug back.
"I have heard the news. You're hoping to win back your father's company by traveling around the world in no more than 80 days. So, with some help of a good young man, I manages to sneak most of your family money without Uchiha family's knowledge." Alfred said as he hold up a large carpetbag, "These should be enough for your quest. You'll find your new passports in the bag as well, I also arranged a transport to Dover port."
Naruko took the bag as Tom and Jerry went to pack their things, and open it, seeing lots of money. Naruko turn to her former butler, "They'll know you helped me." She said with worry as he was forced to serve the Uchiha Family since her parents died.
Alfred laughs a bit, "What more can they do to me? I'm already old."
Naruko made a small smile as she hug Alfred who hug her back.
"I'll success my quest, Alfred and we'll all be free." Naruko said.
(Meanwhile)
The door sudden open and Butch charge in with others follows, "Commissioner!"
"Whoa!" Mikoto said, "Inspector Butch! What's the meaning of barging into my office?!"
"My apologies, Commissioner." Butch said, "But we have found a clue of the robber and her pets!"
"Her?" Mikoto asked.
"Look!" Butch said as he handing the photo frame, "Here's the culprits' identify!"
Mikoto took the photo frame and look at it before her eyes widen, "That's Naruko!"
"So, that's the thief's name?!" Butch asked, "Just say a word and we'll go arrest them."
"Hold on a moment." Mikoto said, "By the time you get to her place, she'll be gone by now."
"What do you mean, Commissioner?" Spike asked.
"Naruko is going a long trip." Mikoto said, "She no doubt, set off to France, a start place for around a world trip. She must return to London by no more than 80 days."
"Preposterous!" Butch said, "This is without a doubt, her plan to escape with the stolen money! We got to stop her now!"
"And what if you are wrong?" Mikoto asked, "If we arrest Naruko and her pets, and turns out they haven't robbed that bank, the England will be a laughingstock! The reputation of Scotland Yard will be ruining!" Mikoto clams down a bit, "We need more proves and clues. Plus, this trip of hers decides her fate and the Global Trading Company. We'll wait for them to returns. By then, we might have the real culprits."
"But that robber will NOT return, escaping from us!" Butch said.
"I know Naruko." Mikoto said, "When she makes a promises, she intenting to keep them. Now, get back to the streets and searches more clues and stay away from Naruko."
"But..." Butch tries to say.
"Dismiss." Mikoto said.
Soon, the inspectors exist the H.Q.
"I'll head to the Bank of England to searches some clues." Droopy said, before went off.
"Butch, you'll go that way, while my son and I will go this way." Spike said, "Maybe we could found those culprits when we at least expected." Then he and his son went off.
But instead of going to search the town and streets, Butch quickly ran to the horse carriage and climb in, "To the Dover dock and step on it!" The carriage starts moving, 'If she thinks I'll miss a chance of arresting those thieves, she's sadly mistaken. I'll chase that Naruko girl, arrest her and her loyal pets and bring them in. Then I'll be promote. Possibly, to Commissioner. Commissioner Butch Dog. Nice ring to it.' He thought.
(Meanwhile)
Jafar is sitting in a bar, in the darkest corner as masked man show up, "You wanted to see me, Mr. Jafar?"
"Yes, Slade." Jafar said, "I have a job for you."
Hearing that, Slade sit down across from Jafar, "What's this job?"
Jafar pull out a photo of Naruko and show it to Slade, "I need this girl to be taking care of. Kill her if must."
"Why so important about her?" Slade asked.
"If she managed to regain that company, it will be back to the way it was during Minato." Jafar said, "Too nice, humble and peaceful in my taste."
"I see." Slade said, "And what in it for me?"
"£500." Jafar started.
"That doesn't sound right." Slade said.
"£500,000." Jafar finished.
"Oh." Slade said, "I'll take the job."
(Meanwhile)
Fugaku went into the dark room where a few men are. Sitting in front of the men, is a man with claw mark on his face, in dark red sleeveless bodysuit, purple cape, helmet with the Foot clan symbol covering his forehead, armour mask that covers his mouth and nose, shoulder armour with two straight curved blades on both shoulders, arm armour with four straight curved blades on both arms, knuckle armour with two longer curved blades on both hands, calf armour with four straight curved blades on both calves, named The Shredder, the evil Warlord of Foot Clan in Japan.
"It would seems your way of 'keeping it safe', is not guaranteed as you claimed." Shredder said.
"Well, you should have warn me about someone trying to get it." Fugaku said, "And unless that prized object returns to me, the deal is off."
"Then, I shall retrieve it and kill that thief." Shredder said, "Once I get it back, this time, keeping it extremely safe." Then suddenly, Shredder and his men disappeared, leaving Fugaku growls in rage."
(Meanwhile)
Hinata arrive the dock, waiting for Naruko while writing a letter, "Dear Father. I have found my fast way back to Japan to make our village safe once again."
Then, once the letter is sent, Hinata took out the item wrapped in cloth, out of her handbag, before unwrap it, reveal small ruby Nine-Tailed Fox statue. She stare at the most important object of her village in Japan. Then, she hears horses coming and quickly, re-wrap the statue and put it back in her handbag before turn to see a horse carriage and Naruko along with Tom and Jerry climb off, pay the driver before the carriage went off.
"You're here." Naruko said.
"I don't have anything much." Hinata said, "So, I able to arrive in time." Then she notices far behind Naruko and her friends, the polices are gathering, asking anyone they come across.
" I see." Naruko said, "By the way, I never catch your name." Seeing her 'bodyguard', looking at something, Naruko slowly turning...
"PING!" Hinata said, got Naruko and others' attention, "...Maggie Ping. That's my name."
"Maggie Ping?" Naruko asked, "You seems to be Japanese-ish."
"...I'm a Japanese from my mother side while...French from my father side." Hinata/Maggie said.
"French-Japanese person?" Naruko asked, "Weird world." Then, she took out her pocket watch to check the time, "Never mind. We need to catch our ship to Pairs. Let's good, Miss Ping!"
"Oui, madam." Hinata said before she quickly follow Naruko towards the dock where their ship is.
Just arriving, is Butch Dog, "There they are. Using a ship to escape. If I can capture them and bring them in, I'll get that promotion!" With tat, after paying the driver, Butch sneakily follow Naruko and her companions.

"Yes, I have a job for you two." Sasuke said, "My future wife tries to escape from me, by traveling around the world. And if she makes it back to London in no more than 80 days, she'll have everything and I'l lose my chance to have her."
"Well, what do you want us to do?" Horace asked.
"I want you to grab her, keep her in abandoned tower or something and lock her way till 80 days are up. And while you wait, I want you to break her spirit and will so she'll just be my wife without fighting."
"How are we going to do that?" Horace asked.
"Whipping, spanking, beating." Sasuke said, "I don't care. Just as long you don't take away her virgin as she's is mine and mine alone. Got it?!"
"Right!" Jasper said, "Not to worry, I'll capture her and 'break her rebel spirit' while wait for 80 days. Let's go Horace!"
"Right, Japer." Horace said.
