Konoha's cinema
Kakashi Hatake, one of Konoha's prodigies. The Copy-Nin or Kakashi of the Sharingan, one of the youngest Jonin, and one of Konoha's Strongest Shinobi, and a Possible Hokage Candidate. He was currently trying to hold his laughter at the scene unfolding in front of him and the Uchiha's anger.
In the form of Haku and Hana, the two girls had also decided to see the same movie that their team was going to view. The former earned a heated glare from Sasuke, still remembering his embarrassing defeat at the ice user's hands. Thankfully, the boy knew better than to attempt anything in the open, especially with her now being a Konoha kunochi.
Much to the shock of Sasuke, Sasuke sees Haku and Hana greet Naruto affectionately with a kiss on the lips. It wasn't a surprise to the silver-haired jonin, it wasn't a secret that Haku liked Naruto spending some time with him, they naturally got close, with Naruto asking out Haku.
Now the three girls, and two Naruto's sat a few rows before them, as the young blonde had created a Shadow Clone so that he could be beside all of his girls, making sure none of them felt left out. It made it all the better for the girls, as Naruto had ensured only he knew which one was a Shadow Clone. Though unknown to either Sasuke or Kakashi, was that the blonde had created a third clone, who was seated behind them. To make sure that the emo duck butt didn't attempt anything during the film.
The one thing that the silver-haired jonin was thankful for was that at least they were behaving, with each girl content with claiming a shoulder of the blonde to lean their head on. With a kiss here and there shared between Naruto and the girls. The last thing he wanted to deal with was two of his students going on one of their escapades in the middle of the theater. Letting out one last sigh, the silver-haired man tuned his attention back to the large screen in the front of the room.
Meanwhile, the last Uchiha seethed in hatred and anger as he stared at the backs of the couple's heads. Incensed that the blonde loser dared to be affectionate with that ice bitch in front of him. It only served to infuriate him further to see Kiba's older sister, Hana, also leaning on the blonde. Sasuke looked at the couple with a sneer of contempt and annoyance because he recognized the girl as Kiba's sister, who was one of the only women that he believed were worthy of being the mothers of his children.
' TSK in the end it doesn't matter, in the end I will manage to take her away from you Dobe, I will have everything I want ' thought Sasuke mentally growled, then smiled maliciously on his face while a hunger for power dug even deeper into his soul ' I am a prodigy, an elite and you or anyone will tell me otherwise ' thought the Uchiha as he looked angrily at the Hanyou.
Naruto could feel the anger emanating from the Uchiha quite easily, because at least in the last few days, he had not felt violent feelings towards him, or at least not with such intensity. Ignoring such intentions, he continued his date with the firstborn Inuzuka.
With Izumi
The fallen Uchiha woman glowered as she sat in one of the back rows to watch her target interact with the women who were romantically involved with him. Something she could report back to Danzo for more avenues to get at the blonde jinchuriki. Not for the first time, she felt conflicted inside as old memories began to resurface.
A life before she served Danzo, before the Uchiha clan was wiped out, Flashes of Naruto and Suki playing with her, them accidentally kissing, their promise, even being there when her mother died. How Naruto would keep her company and even protect her when she was scorned for being a half Uchiha, on her mother's side. Due to her heritage, she was not considered part of the clan itself, with many clan members turning their noses up at her or fixing her with scowls.
The only two were Itachi and Suki, who didn't blame her for her mother's choice to leave the clan to marry her father instead of becoming friends with her. She even believed she liked Itachi until she realized who she truly loved—or so she thought.
Flashback
"Wha-what did you say?" asked Izumi, not believe what she just heard and feeling a bit uncomfortable."I asked if you would like to get something to eat with me tonight, Izumi-chan." Itachi repeated, giving her a soft smile, but something was off.
'A date, he's asking me on a date Why-why now of all times' she thought as she felt strange, everyone knew of her crush on him, or so they thought, but recently she had a revelation of who she truly like. "i-i'm sorry Itachi-kun but I like someone else," she said looking at Itachi thinking he was going to react violently. "Oh" was all he said. "May I know who it is?" he asked with almost an invincible change in attitude.
"I-I can't tell you, Itachi-kun, but I'm sorry my heart belongs to someone else," said Izumi as she decided to walk home ready thinking of ways to ask Naruto.
A Few Hours Later
Izumi was still emotional as she thought of how to ask Naruto out as darkness fell over the village and the moon illuminated the streets. Though as the evening hours crept closer, she also began to feel anxious and nervous, giving her an ominous feeling that something horrible was going to happen, and soon. She did her best to ignore the nagging feeling as she wandered around her small apartment that was located on the very edge of the Uchiha district. However, every time she would pause, the feeling would return with greater force.
A knock at the door quickly shook her out of her musing as she felt a rush of excitement wash over her. Swiftly, she moved to the door and opened it, to reveal Itachi standing before her with a small smile on his face.
"Itachi-kun, what are you gla-urk…." A wave of coldness washed over her body as she shookly looked down to see the Uchiha prodigy's sword impaled into the left side of her chest, where her heart would be. Slowly, she slumped to her knees as the blade was ripped out of her body. "Wh-why?"
"Foolish Izumi," Itachi smirked. "Did you think I would care for you? You were a means to an end."
Izumi could only watch as darkness began to claim her vision as the older Uchiha's right eye shifted to a more evolved state, known as the Mangekyo Sharingan. With a tri-bladed shurikan-like appearance, each point bending so that he held a scythe-like appearance. Each tip connected to the body of the 'shurikan' by a small line that protruded from the tip.
That was the last thing she saw before darkness finally claimed her. Her only thought was 'Naruto, I couldn't keep our promise' were her last thoughts.
End of Flashback
Upon snapping out of her memories, her hand immediately shot to her chest where she had been stabbed, breathing heavily. Only surviving due to a rare medical condition that placed her heart on the right side of her chest. A single tear ran down her cheek at the memory.
"Are you ok, Izu-chan?" spoke a voice from her left. Waving her hand dismissively until she heard what she was called. Turning to look at the concerned individual next to her, only froze in shock and even a small amount of fear as she stared into the deep blue eyes of her blonde target. In her heart, she felt happy it was the first time they'd seen each other face to face, and the true concern he showed her only made her want to jump towards him, but something stopped her. Her mission was like she couldn't break free, no matter what.
"I'm fine." She managed to choke out before looking to the front of her, where her target was still seated with his girls. Which made her question where this third one came from. "Just bad memories are all."
'He knows I am following him, but how?' She thought to herself. 'Perhaps I should report this to Danzo-sama… no, he would deem the mission a failure then. I must succeed!' she thought, although she didn't want to it was two forces were fighting inside of her. "I see." The blonde nodded as he turned his attention back to the screen. "The past always does like to sneak up on us when we haven't settled it."
"Cut the crap, how did you know?" She harshly whispered, shooting a glare at Naruto, but he noticed the conflict going through her mind. "Straight to business then, huh?" He sighed. "Do you think I would ever forget your chakra signature? One of the few people I ever truly loved and cared for," he said a bit coldly.
Making her flich and feel sad at the same time she had spied on him sometimes wishing to be forgotten yet she wanted to be with him but before she could respond a dim light shined upon the two of them. Looking over, she could make out the outfit of the usher of the establishment, causing her to seize up as she had snuck in and had no ticket to allow her to be here, thus jeopardizing her mission further.
"Sorry to disturb you, but it was reported that someone had snuck into the viewing. May I see your tickets?" Izumi was about to make a break for it when Naruto had gently placed his hand over her, preventing her from leaving, much to her shock. With his free hand, he produced two tickets to show the usher. "Here you go." The blonde smiled.
The usher looked over the tickets and confirmed they were for the seats the two were seated in, before nodding and handing the tickets back. "Sorry for disturbing your date." The man replied, earning a slight blush from Izumi at the thought of them being a couple, before moving on to the next row. "You can let go of my hand now, Uzumaki." The Uchiha girl softly growled, earning a chuckle from the blonde as he removed his hand from hers. "Why did you do that?"
"Now, now, Izu-chan, since when are you so aggressive for my reasons? I have two. One, I knew you snuck in. Two, is it that bad reuniting with me after so long of absence, even if unintentional?" he smirked, "and for your unasked question. I knew you would sit here because I purposely tilted the tickets for my princess and myself in your direction so you could see."
'He maneuvered me to be in the position he wanted me to be in.' Izumi thought to herself in embarrassment of being so easily manipulated by her target, even when deep down she knew and wanted this meeting to happen. "So, once I knew you would make your move, I bought these two tickets for these seats," Naruto said.
"Then I have failed my mission." She commented with a frown. "I will have to report my failure to Danzo-sama," she said, though it felt more like she was being controlled slightly. "Or, you could continue with your mission." The blonde offered, earning a look of confusion from the Root member.
"No doubt, if you report that you failed, you will be punished," Naruto explained. "I also wouldn't be surprised that once you are of no use to Danzo, he will dispose of you. Besides, it's better to have you than the other ROOT he sends my way. Always with the 'Danzo-sama requires your presence' or 'You will submit to Danzo-sama'." Izumi couldn't help but chuckle at the blonde's spot-on impersonation of most of the Root members.
"Ara ara, look at this, Izu-chan laughing again," teased Naruto after hearing so long of being apart. "At any rate, I suspect your mission is to gather information on me, and no doubt subdue or eliminate me." It was more of an observation than a question, still, Izumi nodded in confirmation. Knowing it was useless to hide it, as her target had already discovered her anyway. "Then I highly recommend you continue with your mission, though your secondary objective is well out of your reach."
"What do you mean?" Izumi inquired, feeling insulted that the young blonde would imply that she lacked the skill to fight him after all they had trained with Kakashi for some time. "What I mean is that I've only gotten stronger. And I know more than I let you guys believe." He stated Izumi didn't doubt his words. The look in his eyes told her everything she needed to know.
"Or," He continued. "You can return to your master, report your failure, and be severely punished." Deciding enough had been said, Naruto stood up as the movie ended, following his team and mates as they vacated the theater. Leaving behind a conflicted, fallen Uchiha to digest over his words.
with Team seven
"Had a good date, Naruto-kun?" Sakura teased after Haku and Hana had separated from the group to go about their day, though not before giving their blonde mate another deep kiss."It was enjoyable." The blonde smirked. "So, looking forward to meeting Yukie Fujikaze?"
"What do you mean?" The pinkette asked, wondering where this question came from. Though she did love the actress's movies, she pondered what the connection between the movie they had just watched had with meeting the actress. Then it dawned on her. "Our next mission will involve her, won't it?"
"Good chance it will." Naruto nodded. "Why else would we come to see her latest film as a team?" as they walked up to the rest of the team. "Well, ready for the mission?" said Naruto. "But Naruto-kun, they haven't given us any information yet-" Sakura said, stopping mid-sentence, then thinking better of it and looking at her sensei. "Kakashi-sensei, we're going to work with bodyguards for the actress Yukie Fujikaze, isn't that true?" Haruno asked.
Kakashi looked at his student and gave her a smile with his eyes. "Very perceptive, Sakura," praised the jonin. "And if it seems our mission consists of-" before he finished, the entire group saw a woman riding a horse pass in front of them. All members of Team 7 could distinguish that the person riding the horse was the actress from the Princess of Wales film series, Yukie Fujikaze.
Not a second later, they saw a group of about 10 men in samurai armor chasing her on horseback. "Well I think our work found us" said Kakashi watching as another small group equally dressed as samurai "Well I'll take care of this group, you three go get our client and protect her, bring her back before the day is out" said the silver-haired man, receiving a nod from his students who began to run in the direction where the woman had gone.
With the genius of Team 7
The three members of Team 7 watched as the group of samurai they had managed to catch up with after a race saw that said group had managed to corner them.
"Well, apparently there is no need to use lethal force, so no ninjutsu or Taijutsu, since with so many people on the streets that would be dangerous, and they are not a threat," said Naruto.
"And who put you in charge, Dobe!!" Sasuke growled, not wanting to have to follow the orders of someone he considered inferior to him
" I don't sense that they have large amounts of chakra, so they don't seem to represent a great threat" said the Uzumaki seeing that the raven was still upset "And it will also be a perfect opportunity to show that simple samurai are no match for an Uchiha" said Naruto wanting to bite his tongue for what he had just said. But seeing how the Uchiha smiled, he simply sighed mentally, while he had to admit that his idea, as much as he disliked it, worked.
The group made their way through and knocked down one of the men on horseback. The rest of the group charged at the group, leaving an escape route for the actress. Watching as the woman left, Naruto looked at how his group was handling everything without any problem.
"I'm going to follow our client. Can you take care of this?" the blonde asked. "Don't worry about it, Naruto-kun," Sakura said.
It was the only response from his teammate while the Uzumaki could see how the Uchiha launched himself against the group, the Hanyou shrugged and continued off in the direction the woman had taken to escape on her horse, at the moment that the Uzumaki turned a corner.
He found a little girl of about 6 years old, who was crying, thinking that the girl could be hurt the blonde got down and put himself on the girl's level.
"Are you okay, little one?" the Uzumaki asked, making the girl look at him with tears in her eyes. "What happened?" he asked in a kind voice.
"I-it's just that I s-saw Y-Yukie-sama and I s-asked for her autograph and she m-screamed at me, and ran off on a horse," said the girl while more tears came out of her eyes.
Naruto sighed and placed a hand on the girl's head.
"I'm sure she didn't mean it," said the Hanyou, making the girl look at him. "Yukie-san must always be dealing with people asking for a picture or an autograph, and I bet having to do that every day tires her out," said the blonde.
At this point, the girl had stopped crying and began to pay attention to the jinchuriki, where the latter continued speaking.
"How would you feel if you were constantly asked to sign one or take a picture of yourself? I bet a person would get tired of that, don't you think?" Naruto said in a soft tone.
"I guess it wouldn't be nice," the girl said, as Naruto stroked her head again, making the girl giggle slightly.
"Now could you tell me where she went?" said Naruto, making the girl point to where her client had gone, speeding up his pace a little and managing to catch up with the woman, who was about to leave the town towards a small forest.
When he came into sight, he saw that the actress had black hair and a gentle diamond-shaped face. She was wearing a green kimono with dark purple edges, she had a dark green jacket over the green kimono, and she had a pair of simple shoes. The jinchuriki hurried to avoid losing her.
Jumping into the air, Naruto landed on the horse, causing the woman to look at him in annoyance.
"You're not going to take me back," the woman said as she increased her speed in an attempt to throw the blonde off the horse.
"Who said I was going to take you back?" asked the Uzumaki sitting on the horse causing the woman to open her eyes a little. "My orders are to take you, but they didn't specify that I had to do it immediately," he smiled with a foxy smile.
The actress was slightly surprised by the blonde's words.
"In that case, don't fall if I go faster," said the actress, seeing that she wasn't going to take him, she would take advantage of her little moment of freedom, so she continued riding. For his part, the blonde saw that the woman had talent for riding a horse. 'She's not doing badly at all, he must have learned how to perform a scene or two,' thought the Hanyou as they both entered the forest.
Naruto felt a strange sensation coming from the actress who was directing the horse, trying to focus on her a little more to determine what it was, Naruto could feel said sensation a little stronger while looking at the actress's back.
' She seems to be... happy? ' the Uzumaki questioned himself, trying to decipher how the actress felt. As he deactivated his dojutsu, still discovering things about his bloodline.
After a few minutes, he saw how the horse slowed down to reach a small lake, and both passengers got off the horse, which went to drink some water while the actress sat under the shade of a tree.
"So Yukie-san could tell me why she started running away from all those men," he said, watching as the woman took her legs in one arm while looking ahead with a disgusted face.
"That's none of your business, brat," Yukie said in a growl.
"First of all, Yukie-san, I have a name, my name is Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki" the Uzumaki answered in a calm tone "And secondly, it would be good to know, since if it is something that makes a famous star like you run away, it must be something serious, and since I will be one of your bodyguards, I should have that information to be able to protect you better" the Hanyou refuted, smiling, seeing the woman sigh.
"Well," Yukie gave in to the logic of the blonde's words. "It happens that my production company is thinking about making a new film, so they have asked the author of Heart & Soul to direct it," said the actress with a small smile, which was replaced by one of disgust.
But Naruto felt as if what he had digested was a half-truth, which surprised the Uzumaki, but he decided to ask another time. "But then the production decided to take one of the most recent works of the Icha's Icha series," Yukie said with annoyance, making the Hanyou frown at his godfather's actions on his father's side. "I can imagine the rest," said the blonde, although he felt he was unhappy with something a little deeper.
"And if the producer doesn't respond to our request, I'll be forced to participate in that damn production," she said, picking up a rock from the base of the tree and sighing sadly. A second later, she threw the rock toward the lake, causing it to splash a little. "Well, in that case, luckily, we ran into each other," said the blonde. "What do you mean?" Yukie questioned.
"It happens that I know the author of Heart & Soul" said Naruto with a smile, this made the woman open her eyes in surprise and then stand up from her place and approach the Uzumaki, who stopped her before advancing further "But, first of all, to confirm that I'm not lying, I'll prove it to you" said the Uzumaki.
"You don't happen to have a copy of the book" asked the jinchuriki watching as the girl took out a copy of her third book from her clothes and held it in her hand "Okay, first go to the author's bibliography" said the Hanyou while Yukie didn't understand what he was doing, but decided to do it since if this young man knew the author he would avoid making the pervert's movie and would take any opportunity.
"Now take both the sheet that was before and the one after the bibliography," indicated the blonde to whom the actress followed the blonde's instructions. "Now place them in front of the light," said the Uzumaki.
When Yukie completed the last step, she saw that there were some numbers above the car's name.
Naruto handed him some paper along with a pen.
"Write those numbers under the letters of each letter of the name and then order them from lowest to highest," said the Uzumaki. Yukie did as instructed, and when she finished, she saw what she had written on the paper.
"Uzumaki," the actress said out loud so that at that very moment, the black-haired girl turned her head at great speed and looked at her future bodyguard with complete disbelief. "Y-You are the author," said Yukie, who received a smile from the blonde with blue eyes.
"N.U Kitsune, or rather Naruto Uzumaki, at your service, Madame," said Naruto, bowing politely. "It's always nice to meet an admirer," said the blonde. After a couple of minutes, when the brunette managed to recover from the shock, she looked at the Hanyou again.
"Then Naruto-san, would you accept to create the petition for the movie script?" said Yukie, who looked a little more animated.
"Of course I accept, Yukie-san," Naruto said, smiling. So he decided to play a little with the actress ."After all, I can't let you make a movie written by a self-proclaimed super pervert, who calls his cheap pornography art," Naruto said with a smile, making the woman start to laugh.
Naruto heard the woman's laughter and found it pleasant and melodious, which caused him to look at her for a while with a smile.
The actress saw how the blonde stared at her and spoke again.
"Is there a problem, Naruto-san?" asked the black-haired girl, making Naruto blink a little and then realize what she was doing.
"Oh, excuse me, I just realized that you look better when you smile, Yukie-san," said the jinchuriki,scratching his cheek a little embarrassed by what he said.
While the actress had a slight blush on her cheeks because, usually, people told her that she had a beautiful face, a good body, or things like that, but no one had given her a different compliment.
Shaking off those thoughts as he looked at his book, he had an idea.
"By the way, Naruto-san," said Yukie, drawing the blonde's attention. "Could you please sign my copy, Naruto-san," said the black-haired girl, a little embarrassed, since she was usually the one who was asked to sign things.
"It will be a pleasure for my Yukie-san", said the Uzumaki to sign the book and see how the woman had a nice smile on her face, which caused him to smile as he returned the book to the black-haired woman.
"Thank you very much, Naruto-san," said Yukie with a smile.
"I should be the one thanking you, Yukie-san," said the Uzumaki, drawing the woman's attention. "It's not every day I find out that one of my plays is going to be performed by one of the best actresses in existence, and one with such skill. It's a pleasure for me," said the blonde.
But immediately the Hanyou saw 'Yukie' had a sad look on her face so he could feel the same emotion emanating from her.
Naruto watched as the woman approached the lake and sat on the shore while having the same sad look on her face.
"Excuse me Yukie-san, did I say something that upset you" asked the Uzumaki, to which the woman did not respond immediately, Naruto asked again, called her again and saw that it took her a few seconds to respond which surprised the blonde a little "Yukie-san, is something wrong" asked the Uzumaki.
As she approached and sat next to the actress, who continued to radiate a feeling of sadness, for a few minutes, the ebony actress just stared at her reflection in the lake water without turning around.
"No, you didn't do anything, it's just that…", Yukie slurred her words, which had a certain dejected tone "It's that every time I look in a mirror I always try to see a better version of myself, but all I see is a simple actress who tries to escape reality through acting" said the brunette with a sigh.
"I always play characters who are strong leaders or brave warriors, only to realize I'm not their equal, and at the end of the day, I question whether what I'm doing even makes sense or if it matters," said 'Yukie' with a hint of melancholy.
"Then I think you're not seeing what you're doing well" said Naruto making the woman look at him "When I saw your movie I saw the way you play your role it's as if you gave life to the role in such a way that it's very moving, and above all that realism that you put in is what makes it so incredible" said the jinchuriki.
"I can also assure you that even those little things are what inspire people and make them happy. If that doesn't have any importance, then I don't know anything," said the blonde, shocking the woman. She had never seen her job that way.
"Thank you, Naruto-san" said the black-haired girl showing a soft, but at the same time sweet smile, although it didn't last long since she remembered what she did to that little girl "Now I feel guilty for yelling at that little girl" said Yukie with guilt in her voice, while the blonde stood up and held out a hand to her.
"Then we'll have to go and apologize to her, don't you think so, Yukie-san?" the Uzumaki said to the woman. They both stared at each other for a moment. The actress accepted the gesture and took the blonde's hand, but she suddenly felt something.
' They are very firm, but ' the actress thought, looking slightly at the jinchuriki's hand. ' At the same time, they are very warm and kind, ' the black-haired woman thought, feeling something familiar in his grip.
'Yukie' just sighed and looked at the boy firmly. "Well, if I'm going to do that, you better be a good bodyguard and take me to town properly," Yukie said, trying to sound serious as she dusted off her clothes.
Naruto, wanting to play a little with his client, smiled like a fox.
"In that case, I assure you that you are in good hands," said the Uzumaki, then took the woman princess-style, which drew a small cry of surprise from her.
At that moment, a Dark clone emerged from the shadow of the Uzumaki, which was ignored by the woman, since the brunette was more focused on the actions of the original blonde. The clone headed towards the horse that the actress had used to get to that place.
"W-What do you think you're doing?" 'Yukie' said with a blush on her face, seeing how the blonde was carrying her.
"It's not obvious," said the blonde, maintaining his smile. "Since you're going to play a princess in your next movie, what better way to escort her than this way?" said the jinchuriki as if it were the most common thing in the world.
And before the actress could claim the Hanyou, he began to jump from tree to tree at a moderate speed so as not to inconvenience his passenger, while his clone took the horse towards the village.
'Yukie' by pure instinct put her hands around her bodyguard's neck, after a while the brunette managed to settle on the blonde's chest, feeling the heat emanating from him which calmed her and made her feel safe.
After a while, they entered the town and Naruto using his sensor abilities was able to sense where the girl from a while ago was, after a small apology from the actress to the girl, she asked for her autograph again, to which Yukie nodded.
With that done and a few photos and autographs later, the jinchuriki and his companion said goodbye to a smiling little girl, who was jumping for joy through the streets.
After saying goodbye to the little girl, Naruto turned to speak to his client.
"Well, we'd better meet up with the group," Naruto said.
"Don't even think about it, I won't be back," said the actress.
"But if you don't go you won't be able to give your product the news that I've accepted the job of writing a script for your movie, so I don't see the problem" said the blonde, Yukie was about to speak, but the jinchuriki got in front of her.
"Unless there's something else I need to know, so you don't have to go back to the recording group," the jinchuriki said, causing the woman to quickly close her mouth.
'Yukie' reluctantly accepted the boy's logic, seeing that she had nothing to use as an excuse without revealing certain things. The woman gave in to the blonde's requests.
As they were about to retreat to their intended destination, the actress stopped the Hanyou by holding the sleeve of his black jacket, causing Naruto to turn around and look at the actress.
"If I'm going back, it would be better if you took me," said the black-haired girl, then told the Uzumaki to carry her again like he did a while ago, earning a surprised face from the Jinchuriki.
"OK" was all the Uzumaki said before carrying the woman bridal style again. "Ready, Yukie-san," said the blonde, receiving a nod from the actress. Which at this moment had a blush on her face.
20 minutes later
"Yo," Said Naruto as he landed with 'yukie' still in his arms. Soon the blonde lowered the actress and then headed towards where his jonin sensei was, who at this moment was talking to a man, the Hanyou could see how Sakura was helping some 'samurai' who were beaten and some had some bruises with a little medical Ninjutsu, but from what the jinchuriki could see there was nothing serious.
He also saw Sasuke behind the Hatake, the Uchiha was with his arms and a bored look on his face, soon the Copy Ninja noticed the presence of his other student.
"Oh Naruto, you're back, and I see you also brought Yukie-san," said Kakashi with his classic eye smile. "Well, it would be better to catch you up, this gentleman is Yukie-san's representative, Sandayu," said Kakashi, pointing and showing the aforementioned.
Sandayu bowed slightly to the Hanyou in greeting, then stood up straight again.
"Thank you very much for bringing our lead actress, Naruto-san," the man said. "Now we can begin our journey to finish this movie."
"Sandayu, I need to speak with you and the director privately later," Yukie said, approaching the man. "Now I hope the carriage is ready," the actress said, causing the gray-haired man to shudder slightly.
"Eto, well… Yukie-sama… you see what happens is that the place we are going to will not be by land," said Sandayu, making the woman look at him directly. "We will arrive by boat," said the gray-haired man.
This made the woman just sigh a little.
"Well, let's hurry up. I want to get this over with as soon as possible," said the lead actress.
Naruto had a small doubt about what all this meant and looked at his jonin sensei, looking for answers.
"I'll explain it to you later, Naruto," said the Hatake, causing the blonde to nod.
"I'll take your word for it, Aniki," Said Naruto. "It seems that you like to bother our client, Naruto," said the team's jonin sensei, earning the gaze of both people as he read his famous book.
"Then why don't you escort Miss Yukie to her hotel room so she can collect her things, but I suggest you don't take too long to take advantage of the situation," Kakashi said with a small laugh, making both the aforementioned woman and her student blush.
Before either of them could say anything, the actress and the jinchuriki could see Kakashi leaving the place without paying much attention to the glances, but at that, the silver-haired man turned his head slightly to look at his red-haired student.
"You have one hour to get ready," Hatake said, walking over to inform the rest of Team 7.
Naruto just mentally sighed at his elder brother figure's actions and said goodbye to the two present, jumped onto the roofs, and headed home to get ready for his next mission, and let everyone he knew know that he was going to be gone for a while. As Sakura chuckled while also leaving, 'This mission is as simple as I thought it would be,' Kakashi thought, already wanting to warn Naruto.
Land of Snow Castle
You can see a castle which was built on a huge snowy mountain and which also seemed to be in the middle of a snowstorm, the lights of the place were on, and although it was a little after noon, the place needed the lights due to the storm, in one of its rooms.
At the back of what looked like the main room, there was a huge throne where a man with long black hair and an impassive face sat.
The man was wearing a white royal kimono with a white cloak that went from his shoulders to his feet, with hair and eyes of the same color, robust and tall, it is noted that some facial marks near the eyes seemed to be between 40 and 50 years old.
Said subject was Doto Kazahana, the current leader, or rather tyrant, of the country of snow
He saw the large door to the room open and three figures enter, taking a few steps before kneeling in front of the man, who maintained a look of disgust as he looked at his subordinates.
"He called us, Doto-sama," said the first figure in the middle, that of a man.
"Apparently I have received news that my beloved niece is apparently still alive" said the now identified as Doto with annoyance while the group had a look of surprise "So I want you three to take charge of eliminating that scum" said the tyrant of the country of snow.
"You want us to take care of that little nuisance, right, Doto-sama?" said the apparent leader of the group, causing Doto to nod with a smile.
"I hope you don't fail me, Roga," he said to the leader. The whole group bowed and left the place, leaving a thoughtful Doto looking at the door through which the group left.
"Your daughter resembles you, my dear brother," Doto said to nothing and then laughed a little. "It's somewhat nostalgic, you always gave me too many problems and now, even after death, you have managed to find a way to get back in my way," the Snow Daimyo said and then smiled.
The man stood up from his throne and began to walk down a corridor in the castle, which was lit by torches. The man stopped in front of a painting showing an older man of about 50 years old, and next to him were two children, one of whom was a few centimeters taller than the other. He looked at the painting for a moment and continued on his way.
Doto showed a neutral face as he headed deeper into the castle, and upon reaching a door, he looked again towards the place where the photo was.
"Well, in the end it won't be a big problem and when I get the weapon you hid all your life, my dear brother," said the Daimyo, as he left the hallway, soon the black-haired man began to wander around the place calmly.
Until he started to go down some stairs until he reached a door, which was slightly larger than it should be, the Kazahana pushed and entered the room.
In the room, a group of 7 people could be seen standing in front of what appeared to be a black suit of armor.
Which was connected with some tubes to some machines, the five people did different things, two soldered the armature and put a few things on it, another two typed on a board that was at the back of the room, another person cleaned the armature and the last two wrote some things down on a notepad.
Doto approached the group of people, more specifically the group that was taking notes and speaking.
"It's finished," said the Kazahana without specifying which of the two men he was referring to, so the person closest to him, who turned out to be a man, approached the leader of the snow people.
The man appeared to be about 40 or 50 years old, he was wearing a lab coat and glasses. The man had black hair, but with a few visible gray strands.
"Doto-sama," said the man, bowing slightly to his apparent leader. "We have finally been able to carry out the final tests, and if everything continues as it has been, the project will be completed in about two weeks at the most," said the man.
"You have 10 days," Doto said, causing the entire team to look at Doto as if he had grown a second head.
"But, but Doto-sama, we can't reduce the manufacturing time like that otherwise-" the man tried to negotiate.
"You have ten days," the Daimyo said again as he turned around and looked at the entire group. "At least you must not want to see your families again, since my patience is running out," declared the Kazahana looking at the entire group who were completely afraid.
And with that, the man left the place smiling, where he went back up the castle stairs until he came across the same photo he had seen before.
But this time, the Snow Daimyo focused his gaze on the smallest child.
"The good thing about all this for you, my dear brother, will be that in the end, both you and my beloved niece will be able to meet again after so much time, and I will be able to have the world at my feet. From what I see, it's a win-win for both me and you," Doto said.
"After all, no one will be able to defeat me," said the Snow Daimyo, looking out a window where a town could be seen, where people were wearing coats because of the cold, then he looked towards a mountain that seemed to have about six pointed peaks.
"When I get the weapon you created, my brother, the five nations will tremble before my power," he said, putting a maniacal smile on his face. "Hehe he HEHE HAHAHAHAHAHAHA", Doto opened his eyes a little and looked at the ceiling while laughing maniacally.
With ROOT
"It's been nearly two weeks, Izumi," Danzo stated as he glared down at the woman before him. The old war hawk had expected immediate results when he had dispatched the Uchiha woman. Instead, she had so far only relayed information he already knew. "What is your progress?"
"Forgive me, Danzo-sama, but I have made little progress in my task as Uzumaki-san is currently out of the village on a mission with his team," Izumi reported, her eyes to the floor.
"Why didn't you pursue your target then?" The bandaged war hawk inquired, not taking his eyes off her. "Outside of the village, there would be a higher chance of the Kyuubi Jichuriki being isolated."
"With all due respect, Danzo-sama." Izumi ventured. "Even outside the village, Uzumaki-san is well protected and, due to his past treatment by the civilians, hardly ever lets his guard down. The Haruno girl that is on the team is also one of his girlfriends, and is never far from him, not to mention that his sensei Kakashi is already on alert with the mission and treats Naruto as a brother, never far but always helping and guiding him," she said.
Danzo seemed to mull over this. He already knew from his sources that the pink-haired girl was romantically involved with the Jinchuriki, but was now beginning to wonder if he could use the boys' love interests as a means to trap the brat and finally get him to submit to becoming his weapon. "And what of the women involved with the jinchuriki?" The bandaged man inquired. "Could they be used to lure the jinchuriki into a trap?"
"I do not think so, Danzo-sama," Izumi replied with a slight frown. "Almost all of them are formidable and would attract too much attention if we were to attempt to abduct them. And the only civilian is constantly accompanied by one of the others." The old war hawk could only frown at this. It almost felt as if each of the brat girls was specifically instructed to look out for one another to reduce the chances of any sort of action taken against them.
"I expect immediate results upon the Jinchuriki's return," Danzo commanded, looking down once more at the Uchiha girl before him. "I will not accept any further failures from you, Izumi." He left his unspoken threat hanging in the air. "Of course, Danzo-sama." She replied automatically. "You are dismissed." The bandaged war hawk dismissively waved his hand.
Without another word, Izumi stood and left the room. Hiding the fear she felt, as it was very clear what the threat was. If she fails one more time to acquire her target, she will be disposed of. Though from her conversation with the blonde jinchuriki last week, she already knew she was doomed to fail. Recalling the words he spoke to her in regards to Danzo.'I wouldn't be surprised that once you are of no use to Danzo, he will dispose of you.'
'It's true.' Izumi thought to herself with a frown. 'Danzo-sama has made it clear that he already thinking of disposing of me.' Meanwhile, Danzo watched as the Uchiha girl left the room before turning his attention to another individual who was in the room. "Has there been any leads for the Yakumo girl, Sai?"
"No, Danzo-sama." The emotionless boy replied. "If the jinchuriki is involved, then she is likely at his compound. I have been unable to confirm that, as the security seals around the Uzumaki compound are extremely complex."
"That damned-able woman was far more efficient with seals than Minato could ever hope to be." Danzo mused. "Continue searching for a way into the compound," he said. "Of course, Danzo-sama," Sai replied. "Is there anything else you require of me?"
"Yes." The old war hawk stated. "Have two Root squads follow Izumi. If she shows any disloyalty, they are to eliminate her."
"It will be done." The boy said before standing from his kneeling position and setting off the complete the tasks given to him.
"Are you sure it's wise to just eliminate her? She could be used for breeding." Said one of his shadows. "Hell, I would even volunteer. She isn't bad looking."
"Unfortunately, her Uchiha blood is too diluted to guarantee the Sharingan is passed down." The old man informed his partner in the shadows. "She is also unable to fully utilize her own, which also makes her useless as a test subject. Still, we can give her body to Orochimaru."
Hidden Mist Rebel Camp
Mei, Ameyuri, and Ranguki, along with Ao and Zabuza, were returning from scouting some more regions, trying to find any more bloodline users as well as civilians that needed help, along with several clones of Naruto helping them. This had been the most helpful in capturing the enemy posts.
As they entered the camp when they were shocked to see several men wounded and ice covering several parts. Soon, everyone rushed to help the wounded man as they saw two women, one was a slender and very youthful woman with blue eyes and black hair, and she wore a scarf, tied into a knot around her neck, with full lips. A beauty mark on her right side of her face. She was wearing a black kimono with a white obi with large breasts. She wears a thin golden necklace tucked between her cleavage and a long pink scarf over her shoulders.
The other was a slanderous, youthful woman with fair skin and long, black hair adorned at the back by a large golden ornament in the shape of a crescent moon with numerous small lines radiating outwards. She likes the first, a black kimono with a white obi beneath a white long-sleeved haori, over which she wears a further white robe fastened at the front near the center of her chest.
"Unohana, Senjumaru What happened here? Why are there so many injuries?" asked Mei, looking shocked. Naruto slowly came closer and tapped her shoulder to calm down.
"It was Esdeath she suddenly locked and picked her handcuffs, and attacked, saying that we've kept her from her Master long enough and she wouldn't leave him waiting much longer." Said Unohana
"The rebels went to try and subdue her, but she was too strong and beat most of them without breaking a sweat, then left, saying he won't have to wait long, and she was going to Konoha," said Senjumaru as she was also healing some people. "This is bad," Mei said. "I wouldn't worried be worried about Ameyuri fighting the clone," said Rangiko.
