"Great job Naruto now we won't be able to finish watching the movie." Sakura scolded as she crossed her arms.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think I was being that loud." I grumble huffing looking away. Sasuke stood quietly indifferent from our bickering.

"Kakashi-sensei said we needed to watch the movie in order to complete our next mission now thanks to you we got kicked out." She went on and on as she plopped back down on her spot in the bench.

"Don't sweat the little things dobe, it's not entirely your fault." Sasuke grumbled as he ruffled my hair and I sighed technically it was entirely my fault but I didn't want to admit that to Sakura.

"Thanks." I grumble pouting as he ruffled my hair, I had gotten used to it. I guess that's just something he did to show his affection instead of a kiss or a hug, but needless to say I found it comforting when he ran his cool fingers through my hair as tried to soothe me by telling me it was alright.

That's when Princess Gale the one we had seen in the movie suddenly galloped past us in a pure white horse behind her the sound of thundering footsteps and men followed.

I was taken back, could this be a real princess! But she was being chased down.

The three of us glanced at each other and sprang into action, Sakura and Sasuke began attacking the men while I went after the Princess. I moved quickly through the crowds which was fairly easy since they were trying to avoid being trampled by the speeding horse. "Hey you're princess Gale right?!" I called out to her but she swiftly maneuvered her horse to a different route ignoring everything I said to her, I couldn't help but become agitated.

"It's rude to plain out ignore people." I huffed as I  did a swift turn following her and catching up to her.

She glared at me and turned down another street. By the looks of it we seemed to be heading back to the place where Sasuke and Sakura had engaged battle.

"Hey are you deaf!" I yelled as I easily jumped on the back of the horse. "I saw your movie not long ago, man it was pretty cool though I didn't get to see the ending." I told her and she barely said anything before yanking the reins to roughly and both of us were thrown of the horse. I fell with a thud and I felt someone fall on me basically crushing me beneath them. "Y-you're heavy dattebayo!" I groan as she got off and I look around to see Sakura and Sasuke had tied everyone up.

"Really Naruto." I heard Sakura getting ready to scold me but before she could we heard a familiar voice. "Well seems like you three met the next client." We looked up to see Kakashi sweat dropping.
_________

To be honest during Sasuke's stay in the hospital he had started acting weird but we talked things out and after the outburst and fight we had he seemed to calm down.

I understood he had been on edge at first from the run in with Itachi and he explained to me what had happened when he passed out and how he was forced to relive that day. It took a bit for me to forgive him but soon things had settled and we all began training, working on our team work, and rebuilding the village.

Soon enough we were back to doing missions and trying our hardest, but that's not all Sasuke and I went on plenty dates and trained together at the moment things were fine.

"These are the clients that hired us for an escort mission to the land of snow." Kakashi stated as we sat in the studio with the camera crew, producers, director, actors and their managers. "So we have to escort the Princes Gale actress?!" I squealed happily and Kakashi redundantly nodded and began explaining the situation but I was to busy poking Sasuke and messing with his hair to really listen.

"That's the overview of the mission, I hope you were all paying attention." Kakashi stated staring straight at me.

"Yeah, yeah it's not like she's a real princess so no need to sweat the details." I wave off and Sakura sighed.

"You weren't listening were you Naruto? Even if she isn't a real princess she is still an actress and targeted, gosh stop messing around and listen to the overview on the missions, maybe then you wouldn't be so surprised over the information we all know." She scolded and I pouted, Sasuke sighed.

"Listen closely I'll explain everything Kakashi sensei said dobe." He sighed and I quickly cheered up.

"Don't spoil him Sasuke-kun he'll make it a habit and keep ignoring the overviews." Sakura sighed scooting closer to him making me frown slightly.

Sasuke explained what sensei had said while kakashi left to retrieve the actreses.

We packed our things and also helped with loading the ship. "The captain has already assigned our room, we will be sharing with someone, it will be two per room. Well at least for you." Kakashi stated as he held a list. "Sakura your bunking with a camera crew member named Naomi, Sasuke and Naruto bunking together, no funny business, and I'll be having a room of my own." Kakashi stated and looked over at us with a closed eye smile, I felt my cheeks turn a bright red as I became flustered when he said 'no funny business,' we were too young to do anything bad, that pervert sensei! It's like I got stuck with all the perverts as sensei's! Pervy Sage is a massive pervert and womanizer who writes dirty books, Kakashi is a pervert who reads those books in public, iruka sensei always falls for the sexy no jutsu, Ebisu sensei is a closet pervert, and my boyfriend is a pervert too. Have I been plagued?!?!

"Ya,ya, heard you loud and clear." I grumble slightly annoyed as I placed both hands on the back of my head like I normally did, Sasuke stayed quiet and didn't say anything Sakura looked upset probably because she wouldn't be with us well more like with Sasuke. "Now lets board and remember to be on your best behavior." Kakashi sensei stated looking straight at me and Sasuke.

I wouldn't be surprised if he figured out that we were dating, it wasn't like we hid it. Especially that teme Sasuke who flirted with me in broad daylight at times even in front of the clients.

But that was because he could careless about their opinion, I on the other had would be a blushing stuttering mess and would usually be quiet as he teased me.

But that doesn't mean I'm the only one that gets teased, I always get him back for the stunts he pulled so we're even.

I followed behind sensei as we were shown the rooms we were going to be staying in, "I need to leave my stuff in our room." I grumble as Kakashi sensei dropped us off at our room.

"Man I'm beat." I grumble as I plop down on the bed and Sasuke took my backpack placing it on the little desk in the corner of the room.

The rooms were small and there were two twin size beds.

"Ahhhhh bed!" I groan as I sink into the bed happily. "We seem to always get roomed together, don't we?" Sasuke chuckled as he laid beside me and I curled up beside him.

"Yeah but that means we can spend time together even in a mission where we are suppose to be all serious and working." I say happily as I snuggle against him taking a deep breath taking in his scent, he had an earthy fresh smell which was intoxicating.

Sasuke bellowed a chuckle as he began stroking my hair with his hand. "You did hear Sensei...... no funny business." He could barely finish the sentence without laughing.

I had completely forgotten about that! I could feel my face heat up at the mention of sensei's comment. "Shut up, it's not like anything is going to happen you pervert." I grumble hiding my face and looking away.

"Alright, alright I just thought I should remind you since you just can never seem to keep your clothes on. It's like you are always changing clothes and I just walk in by accident." He smiled and I pout hitting him lightly on the chest.

"Oye shut up teme." I huffed as I sit up and look down at him. "What I'm just stating facts but I'll be quiet if you give me a kiss." He stated giving me a cheeky smile and I sighed.

"Only a peck on the cheek." I say as I lean down to kiss his cheek and he quickly turns his face and pecks my lips making my face flush red.

"Sasuke!" I gasp surprised at his actions. "Teme." I turn away and lay back down turning my whole body away from him.

"Don't get mad Naruto, you were just so cute." He smiled and laughed as he hugged and pecked my cheek and I was trying hard to hide my red face. "Yeah, yeah you say that all the time." I grumble pouting as I look up at him to see him smiling down at me.

"Yeah I know." He smiled as he leaned down placing a kiss on my forehead and getting up. "We should go see what they are doing, also food should be served soon too." He stated as he stretched and I sat up nodding.

"Okay." I say as I place my hand lightly on my forehead where he had placed the kiss. "Let's go." I say smiling widely as I got up.

I was happy, we weren't just dating, he was my best friend and more. I was content with how things had turned out, at first, I when I met Sasuke and I heard of what happen to his family I wanted to approach him but I never did.

Later on we were placed in the same team and I made him my rival and somehow we progressed to becoming friends and one thing led to another. Now he was my rival, boyfriend and most of all my best friend.

If something was on my mind I could talk to him about it, of course I still have Hinata and I spend girl time with her but it's different with Sasuke. We weren't clinging onto each other, respecting each other's space and understanding that we each had friends of our own.

We didn't need to be holding hands or kissing at all times of the day either, because just being side by side or in each other's presence was enough.

He was kind and patient with me as well, we could both express our worries and concerns to each other and we would both be understanding and by each other's side and that was something I really treasured.

We walked out of the room, we didn't hold hands or anything just walked alongside each other. I placed my hands on the back of my head.

"Man I'm starving I wonder what we are going to eat today." I say excitedly as we arrived to where kakashi sensei was. "I see you two settled into your room already." Kakashi started off but I quickly got distracted and went to look out to the open sea.

"Wow the view is amazing!" I gasp as I look around and see the bright blue sea that seemed to glistened in the sunlight.

"Naruto, have you seen the set for the movie?" Sasuke stated and I turn over to him and noticed how they prepared the ship to look as if there had been a battle.

"Wow it looks really realistic, all the arrows and stuff." I say as I happily skip to the set and look around careful not to touch anything.

"You think so?" The director laughed at my reaction and I nodded happily. "We've been in a few battles and it looks kinda like this except with kunai and shuriken and the places where ninjutsu missed us are tattered." I say smiling at him and he nodded.

"Well we still have a few more details we will be adding to the scenery but don't worry it's almost done." The directors gave me a thumbs up and I smiled.

"Dinner will be served shortly as well, you guys should watch the sunset it's a real view." The director stated and I nodded. Kakashi waved slightly and went downstairs to the lower deck.

"Yo Sasuke, lets climb the mask and watch the sunset from up there." I say excitedly he seemed to think about it for a moment but in the end nodded.

"Yeah sure why not." He shrugged nonchalantly. "How about I race you there." I said smirking and he smiled. "Alright, but get ready to loose." He chuckles and for a moment we were still.

"Ready, go!" And with that we sprinted off. It was rather easy climbing up the mask, we were both around the same speed and when we finally got to the top neither of us knew which one got there first.

"I win!" I cheered and he cocked a brow. "Naruto its obvious I was here first." He says crossing his arms. "Tch, even though visuality is suppose to be your strong point, I'm sad to inform you that you must clearly be blind." I laugh waving him off and he sighed.

"Dobe its obvious you don't realize how wrong you are but I clearly won, being an uchiha and all with my speed, no way you could have surpassed me." He replied before we bursted out laughing and sat down to watch the sunset. "Well regardless of who won at least we are here." I say as we were about to watch the sunset.

"Sasuke-kun! " I look down to see Sakura looking for us.

"Huh, Sakura-chan up here!" I yell waving at her. "Watch the sunset with us!" I add and she smiled and hurried up the mask and plopped down between me and Sasuke. "Isn't the view great?" I say smiling and she nods.

"Yeah the colors are very pretty especially how they mirror on the water surface." She says as we all look out into the open sea, the different colors of orange,yellows, pinks, purples and blues lighting up the sky. There wasn't much said as we watched the sunset before Sakura spoke up.

"Oh yeah, dinner is ready." I nod. "Man I'm starving, let's go down and get something to eat." I say as I got up, by now the sky had darkened and the stars were becoming visible.

"Race down?" I ask and all three for us were off jumping down and using the ropes to make it down safely.

The next few days we watched the production of the movie, I was shocked by how Yukie Fujikaze the actress that played princess Gale was a completely different person on the movie set.

"She's so good, if someone were to tell me she was a mean ungrateful stuck up kind of person I wouldn't even believe them." I say as I watch her say her lines and act like the perfect heroine.

"She is an amazing actress you know."Sandayu her manager sighed as she called for him to get her eye drops so she could cry. "But then again she is still as cold as ever." I add and Sasuke scoffed at my comment.

The past few days were nice the only problem was Sakura's restless flirting with Sasuke when we weren't working, it annoyed me yes but I didn't want to sound like an asshole and call her out. Of course Sasuke would reassure me he wasn't being swayed by the sweet talk and I trusted him so I wasn't worried just slightly annoyed.

Although it seemed Kakashi sensei was hellbent on making small remarks on no PDA between us and reminding us that this was a mission so no funny business and to behave although it seemed like nobody was getting where his undertoned comments were coming from.

When we landed on the small island to film the scenery we were instructed to help carry the filming equipment out. Out of the three of us Sakura was the one struggling the most so I offered to help and she eagerly said yes claiming it was too heavy for a girl which I shook off since I didn't feel like telling her that being a girl had nothing to do with her lack of strength training.

"Wow look at all the snow Sasuke." I say as I set down the camera stand leaving it to camera crew to finish setting up.

I leaned down picking some snow up and rolling it into a ball I glance up to Sasuke and quickly throw a snowball at him, he reacted quickly and dodged it. I grind at him and he smirked quickly picking up some snow himself and throwing a snowball at my face and bursted out laughing when it landed.

"Eh no fair." I groaned as I wiped the snow off and quickly started making another snow ball throwing it at him I managed to almost hit him.

We bursted out laughing enjoying our small snowball fight before we mutually declared a tie and went to see if there was anything else we could do to help out the camera crew. Yukie was acting out a part, the 'villain' stood on top of a glacier saying his lines when there was a sudden explosion.

Soot and dust filled the air and the ground rumbled as we were all still for a moment. We stood our ground as Kakashi sensei glanced at us and gave us a nod. We sprung into action to protect Yukie and the camera crew.

I was one of the fastest runners on our team, I quickly ran to the actor that was playing the villain picking him up and hurrying back while Sasuke and Sakura took care of the rest of them, we had to get them out of dangers way.

"Welcome friends to the land of snow." A tall purple haired man with weird armor called out. "You!" Kakashi instantly seemed to recognize them we instantly stood in battle formation ready to attack as soon as the order was given.

"Greetings Princess Koyuki. I do hope you're still carrying around the hex crystal." A pink haired woman spoke up as the smoke from the explosion cleared, her eyes trained on Yukie the actress.

"Naru, Sasuke, Sakura protect the Princess." Kakashi instructed and we quickly got into battle stances around her. "Sakura you stay behind me and Sasuke if they get through me and him you make sure that they can't reach her, we will cover you." I say and she quickly nods backing up and going to where the Yukie aka Princess Koyuki.

"Just like in training?" I cocked a brow glancing at Sasuke and he nodded.

A buff ninja was approaching us in a fast pace and I quickly made sure to be the distraction, with my bright colored clothes and loud personality it was easy making everyone's attention shift to me, whilst Sasuke had a more subtle effect and caught them by surprise or attacked the weak points.

I quickly dodged him, narrowly escaping his attack. I realized that the reason he moved so fast was because he had a snowboard.

While he was busy focused on me Sasuke sent kunai flying toward the ninja. He managed to dodge them but Sasuke had already sent a windmill shuriken  toward him but as soon as it hit we realized that it was useless against the odd armored arm of his.

But that was it for combination attacks because Sasuke was attacked by the pink haired snow ninja. We had to face our opponents alone.
He started fighting with the short pink haired lady and I was on my own.

I didn't have many long distance Justus and although rasengan would work if I had to have back up to use it in a fast speed battle like this.

I couldn't run into this battle carelessly I had to think and find his strengths and weaknesses, he seemed to be quick and by the looks of it strong meaning I was at a slightly disadvantage but thanks to Kurama I was the strongest in our team aside from sensei meaning I had a higher chance in a taijutsu battle, Sasuke was good in taijutsu but he was even better at ninjutsu.

Sakura was average in strength and jutsu but she was smart and she was willing to put her life on the line when it came down to it.

I was engrossed in my battle dodging and looking for openings when I heard someone yell

"Princess!" I couldn't help but look back, was there another enemy, or had Sasuke's or Kakashi's ninja escaped them?

I glance only to see the princess kneeling down Sakura trying her best to get her to safety. I quickly turn back to see the ninja I was fighting when I realized he was going to strike me and I was forced to do a back handspring to get out of the way.

It's like his right arm was enhanced or something because the armor on that arm seemed to cover and strengthen his arm so that he didn't have to worry about hurting himself and was able to use his strength to the fullest.

How did I know? I realized this when he punched me straight in the gut, I felt as the cool air left my lungs and I skidded on the snow covered ground.

Kakashi sensei came to my aid with a water style; Water dragon jutsu. I managed to pick myself up and took a few deep breaths to try and shake off the pain.

"Sensei, there's something strange about their armor!" I yell as we stood back to back, maybe sensei knew what was up with the weird armor.

"Yeah, I know. It's chakra armor created by the ninja here in the land of snow, although it's definitely stronger than it used to be." He replied quickly keeping an eye on his opponents.

So sensei had faced them before, but they have enhanced the armor since he last fought them. I couldn't ask more questions due to having to pay attention to the ninja who were looking for a moment that we put our guard down so they could attack.

"So you remember, the armor increases the chakra within the body strengthening a handful of the more useful jutsu. A chakra barrier gathers around us that is able to deflect the chakra of our enemies as a result ninjutsu and genjutsu is useless." The ninja Kakashi sensei had been fighting stated as he smirked triumphly. Was he an idiot?

He basically just told us that taijutsu is the only thing that can work against them, it was at moments like this I wish I was a taijutsu expert like bushy brow.

The blue eyed, purple haired ninja that Kakashi had been fighting smirked as he did the signs for a jutsu Kakashi quickly going into action and attacking back.

The ninja I had been fighting was heading toward Sakura and I sprung into action leaving the purple haired idiot to Kakashi sensei.

The buff ninja had gotten ahold of the princess and Sakura quickly cut the ropes just as he was going to attack I punched him right on the jaw which wasn't covered in armor.

"Hey asshole that was payback from earlier!" I yelled as I prepared for his incoming attack. 'Kurama help me out!' I mentally called out to kurama and he sighed.

'Stop pestering.' He grumbled annoyed as he let some chakra leak out from his cage. I quickly pumped Kuramas chakra through my system as we both collided I grabbed his fists and started to push back. I started to add chakra to my arms and legs. His eyes widen when he realized that I started pushing him back my strength over powering his. I glanced back

"Sakura get out of there hurry!" I yell but the princess was being uptight and wouldn't move. "We don't have time for this!" I yelled annoyed I was still pushing the other ninja back but I lost my balance and he threw me aside.

Sakura moved just in time to stop his attack to the princess.

"Sakura! " I yelled as she was knocked out I couldn't help but grit my teeth, I had to practice my balance!

I start to get up but the ground beneath me started shaking . "Naruto get everyone out of here!" Kakashi yelled I quickly noticed he uncovered his sharingan. "Multi shadow clones no jutsu!" I yell as I quickly began picking everyone up and running at my top speed towards the boat, I made sure that the real me was the one to take the princess back to the boat since she was the one we needed to protect no matter what.
_____________
We had landed in the land of snow, after the battle we had managed to escape to the boat but the small island was left in a disarrayed mess due to the massive jutsu Kakashi sensei preformed. People were unloading the boat as we were in the cabin figuring out what the next step would be.

"Lets state what we do know, Yukie Fujikaze is her actress name, her real name is Princess Koyuki the rightful heir to the land of snows throne. Kakashi sensei met her a long time ago and was at her side when she was still a little girl. You, Sandayu served the Princess's father the former leader of the clan, Lord Sosetu Kazahana, but ten years ago Lords Sosetsus younger brother Doto aka the bad guy hired a group of snow ninja and instigated a Coup d'etat . The castle was burned to the ground and the princess was thought to have perished but they never found her body. But she's actually alive, am I right?" I say trying to make sure everything I understood was right. Kakashi sensei nodded. "That's right Naruto." He sighed.

"The day I found that the princess was alive I was overjoyed." Sandayu smiled nodded after I had briefed the information.

"I should have died back then." We all turned to see Yukie standing by the door way. "Don't say things like that your highness." Sandayu replied to her comment. "I'm alive but my heart is dead, after that day any tears I had all dried up." She spoke as as she crossed her arms.

"After I found her I became her manager, I bribed my time waiting for the day I could escort her back to the land of snow ." Sandayu stated when one of the film crew spoke up.

"Wait, so what you're saying is that all this time you've been using us?" And Sandayu turned and bowed. "I apologize for deceiving you but it was all for the sake of the people from the land of snow." He turned back to the princess.

"Princess Koyuki, please confront Doto and assume your rightful place as the leader of our land. I will sacrifice my life without hesitation in order to protect you." He bowed down "Please I beg you, take up arms and lead your people." He begged her.

"No thanks." She turned away. "But what about your people?" He looked up at her and she scoffed. "I could careless about them just forget it. " she didn't even look at him as she spoke I couldn't but frown, this man was willing to put his life down for the her and the country but she just took it for granted.

"B-but-" he couldn't finish his sentences as she yelled at him. "Will you give it up already, don't be dumb it doesn't matter what you do you'll never get rid of Doto, okay!" She snapped at him and he stayed silent.

"So what, should he just give up? Your so fucking heartless, this poor man has given his entire life to this land and its people and serving your pampered ass and you just take it for granted!" I snap as I stood up.

"If you keep insulting him like that you'll be dealing with me, because as long as there is hope one may dream and with those dreams the future comes." I say crossing my arms."hmm, I like it it's the perfect theme for our new Princess Gale movie." The director piped in. "Huh director Makino you're really not going to continue filming with everything that's happened are you?" The assistant director turned the the director in shock.

"The movies evolving, just how often do you get to make a movie with a real princess? We're looking at an opportunity of a lifetime here." Director Makino smiled. "I guess you're right, even the 'making of ' will be a hit. We're sitting on the this years blockbuster." The director assistant added. The princess seemed a bit annoyed and was about to say something when Kakashi spoke up.

"Doto's on our trail so running back isn't an option, we have to fight it's our only chance of getting through this."

I couldn't help but smile. "We'all continue the mission and show that creep Doto who's boss!" 

"Movies aren't like real life! There's no such thing as a happy ending in this world!" Koyuki yelled (Yukie) I couldn't help but frown, she reminded me of Inari for a moment. "Of course there is if you're willing to fight for it."Director Makino snapped.

Kakashi sensei sighed. "Normally we would head back to the village to get reinforcements." He stated.

"That's a waste of time, we are fine as it is. It's not someone we can't handle." Sasuke stated smirking and glanced at me.

"Thank you." Sandayu said as he bowed his head. "That's it, the movie is green lit, we will continue to make this movie and you can bet this one will have a happy ending." Director Makino chuckled, I glanced at Yukie aka Princess Koyuki her face showed no sign of emotion at what was being said, I couldn't help but feel bad for her since she had no hope whatsoever.
______________

I was sitting next to Sasuke playing with his fluffy hair as we rode the trucks through the snow.

We had gotten off the ship and helped load the trucks that were going to take us to our destination. Sakura was drinking some hot tea and staring outside the window as we went up the narrow roads through the mountains.

"I've never been up in the mountains like this." Sakura smiled as she looked out the window. "How come there is roads up here?" I ask pulling away from Sasuke.

"There used to be train tracks here but with all the snow they've been covered up." Sandayu stated as he glanced out the window. "Besides our next stop is very close by." Director Mankio stated as he sipped some tea.

"Man this film is going to be great isn't it." I say smiling thinking of all the sceneries and how beautiful the landscape was.

"When will we arrive at our next destination?" Sasuke asked in his normal monotone voice, I couldn't help but smile at him he was always so expressionless when he spoke to other people but he always smiled or showed how he felt when it was just me and him. "Pretty soon we will reach the hideout don't worry." Sandayu stated.

A few hours had passed we had already come to a stop and were resting when the assistant director ran to us. "Mister Maniko,  Yukie has vanished!" He exclaimed. "Inform the ninja right away." Director Maniko ordered. The assistant director informed Kakashi sensei and that's when Kakashi sensei gave us our orders to find her.

"Radio in if she turns up?" Kakashi ordered and we all fanned out. I closed my eyes concentrating and searching for koyuki's presence. She wasn't far so it wasn't that hard to find her. I was off moving through the snowy terrain when I saw her running as fast as she could not bothering to see where she was going as she tripped and tumbled down on the ground.

I sighed I had to help her since she was our client. "So how much longer are you going to try to run." I say as I walk toward her and looked down at her. "Tch c'mon everyone's waiting." I sigh helping her up.

"Get on my back I'll take us back." I say and helped her on, she didn't say anything and was quiet. She wrapped her arms around my neck holding on tightly.

"Why do you keep coming after me?" She asked as I carried her back. "Cause it's my mission it doesn't matter how much you hate it. I'll keep coming after you. Just try to hide, I'll find you." I say slightly annoyed with her. "Well you can drag me back but all I'm going to do is act for the camera and that's it." She stated but I ignored her. I had to go through a tunnel that dug through the mountain.

There wasn't much light but if I kept walking I knew the exit would soon show up. Suddenly I heard a sound. "Shhhhh." I look around the tunnel we were walking through as the sound kept getting louder.

"It's a train." Koyuki stammered. " wha what!" I turned to see a bright light and I paled. "Oh that train!" I turn around and began running at my top speed but Koyuki was a little too heavy for me to run in my normal speed.

"It's gaining on us." Koyuki yelled as she looked back to see the train hot on our heels as I ran. "Not if I can help it!" I yelled back as I huffed moving my little legs as fast as I could. "We will never make it!" She panicked gripping tighter and I growled.

"Shut the fuck up lady! I said I'm going to get us out of here!" I yelled as I took deep breaths and pumped chakra in my legs speeding up.

"It's pointless we're going to die!" She cried out clenching on to me harder. "It's not over yet, I'll be dead before I give up, I plan to live on longer than this !" I yell as I kept speeding up. "C'mon c'mon c'mon!" I yell as I got closer and closer to the exit and kept going. We were about to get killed when I side stepped out of the tunnel and we both tumbled out of the way.

I laid on the cold snow huffing a grin spread across my face as the train swooshed by us."hehehehehahahah we made it!" I cheered breathlessly as I try to steady my breathing.

"Koyuki it's been a while." I heard a man call out and instantly sat up. "It's Doto." Koyuki gasped looking to where the train had stopped.

"Ten years, hasn't it." The man added and came into view he was tall a bit chubby had small blue eyes and looked to be around his 40's. He looked down at us from the train. Before he could say anything else logs fell on the train and there was a loud war cry. "With Princess Koyuki at our side we will triumph against Dotos tyrant rule." I turn to see it was Sandayu I could see that he had come with reinforcements.

They all charged to attack but for some odd reason Doto didn't even looked fazed. The armed resistance made it down the hill charging at full speed to the train, blades prepared for battle when there was a sudden bang.

On the train there had been kunai placed like crossbows and they were launched simultaneously showering over the arm resistance. I watched in horror as the kunai's rained on them penetrating their armor and flesh. Most of them died from the fatal wounds and collapsed on the floor. It was a one sided slaughter.

I looked around some could still move and were alive while others laid motionlessly as their blood stained the snowy ground that's when I heard a ticking sound and another loud blast and more kunai came raining down.

Sasuke moved quickly being able to block the second round of kunai that was going to fall on Sandayu. Before they could reload the next round of kunai there was a blast above the tunnel and a small avalanche causing the snow to fall on the train and stop the contraption. The train began moving and I knew it was safe to move. "Lets go help the injured and regroup with the team." I say my voice slightly trembling as I helped Koyuki up and led the way. She walked behind me quietly as I began trying to find survivors.

We administrated first aide and Kakashi was teaching us what we needed to do since this was our first time treating wounds this severe.

I made a mental note to start learning some medical skills upon returning to the village when I realized that this was a needed skill.

"This wouldn't have happened if they hadn't stood up." Koyuki stated emotionlessly and I couldn't help but feel annoyed. "Princess koyuki, forgive me for involving you in this mess." Sandayu choked out his the gashes and wounds covered his body, blood was pouring down the side of his face, we had managed to remove most of the kunai but he was hit on his liver and had internal bleeding and none of us knew medical ninjutsu.

"We had managed to keep believing because we knew you were still alive. Please don't give up on this country, it needs you more than ever. Please, continue, believing , and save us." He coughed blood spilling from the side of his mouth.

"I don't have much time left, but don't waste your tears on me." He let out a deep breath and laid motionlessly as the light left his eyes.

"You're a fool, I cant cry.... you have my eye drops." She spoke without a single emotion or expression. "Lets go, our lives are in danger here, we should head home." She said as if nothing had happen and that was the final straw.

"Go home to where?! I thought this was your home, wasn't it?! Where the hell do you need to go back to! Your place is here! Face Doto and put your house in order! These men gave their lives to you and to reclaim their home, are you going to let their sacrifice be in vain!" I snapped as I furiously yelled at her, I felt Sasuke place his hand on my shoulder to hold me back.

"You know nothing, this wasteland of ice can't even be considered a home. Especially while Doto's around." She replied looking away from me. "But aren't you the one with the power to change that? I mean that's at least that's what Sandayu believed." Sakura interjected as she crossed her arms underneath her light tan snow cloak.

Koyuki stayed quiet for a moment. "I've had enough of this!" She snapped trying to storm off once again and I wasn't having it I wasn't going to let her run off like a child again much less track her down all over again.

"Wait a minute I'm not done with you yet!" I grasped her arm and she yanked her arm away. "Leave me alone already!" She growled I was about to retort but there was a loud rumbling sound and this giant blimp came to view. I gawked as I saw it that's when I saw one of the ninja by the door and I instantly reached out for koyuki but she was snatched up.

I moved quickly and used a kunai and rope to get a hold of the blimp. They started off and kunai with special kind of tags were thrown out and began causing large spears of ice to shoot from the ground the second they made contact with the floor.

I hissed as I felt the cool air as I climbed my snow cloak fluttered in the breeze. I held on and made a shadow clone jutsu. Using my shadow clones I started climbing and managed to make it through the door before they closed it. I ran in ninja started surrounding me and I quickly hid amongst my clones as they tried to find the real me I ran past them and into a different room hearing Doto talk about using a hidden fortune to gain superiority over the five great nations.

"Not on my watch ya bastard!" I yell as I saw them. He gawked at me for a second clenching his fist, Koyuki's eyes widen in surprise to see me there "You! How did you get in here!" Doto hissed as he turned to face me completely his grey and blue clothes slightly fluttering as he moved. "Don't underestimate a ninja ya old fucker." I growled when I suddenly felt ropes around me. "The hell." I grunted as I was tied up by some sort of reinforced strings.

"Apologies, as you can see the runt was a handful." The weird purple haired ninja stated. "Well he knows the shadow clone jutsu." Doto grunted in annoyance. "Well whoever this brat is, their level of chakra isn't something to laugh at, we should put the contraption on him it would be good to test it out." The buff ninja that I had fought earlier stated.

"He would make an interesting test subject." He stated. "Take his cloak and jacket off so we can place it." The purple haired ninja grumble and the other two held me as they removed my snow cloak and unzipped my jacket.

"Get off me you fucking bastards." I hissed as I struggled in their grip the purple haired ninja held this circular device that emitted purple electricity and I could feel my breathing become heavy as I began to try to get free kicking around but they had a iron grip on me. I almost broke free at the last moment but he placed one part on my back and another right underneath my breast.

"Would you look at that. The brat is a little lady." The pink haired shinobi girl smirked as she activated the device on me. I felt a shock of electricity go through me and I felt as if my chakra was being sucked right out of me. I couldn't help but shriek in as my muscles contracted, I squirmed in pain as I fell foreword.

When the pain subsided I was breathing heavily I couldn't feel my chakra and I was no longer able to move or feel. I dispelled all of my shadow clones and was trying to muster the strength to move but couldn't.

"Not looking much like a ninja now aren't you little lady." The purple haired ninja mocked as he lifted my face up. I glared at him noticing I was free.

I instantly tried to attack him using a kunai to try and cut him but he moved back just in time to avoid my kunai. I fell my vision becoming blurry as I felt him kick me before loosing consciousness.

I open my eyes to see I was in an all familiar sewer. Man why was my mind scape and sewer it's almost as if it was telling me my mind was in the gutter. "Well well look who it is." I heard a deep voice and look up to see kurama.

"Surprise, its me?" I say sarcastically. "Look at the mess you've got us in."kurama grunted as he glanced at me not bothering to get up from his laying position. "I'll find a way out once I wake up." I groaned as I waved him off sighing as I tried to think on a plan. "You can't use your chakra that device sucks it all up." He stated and I sighed. "Well it will get full at some point." I grumble trying to think of an escape plan.

"Hey kurama can I borrow your chakra ?" I asked and he cackled. "Like hell you can, you got us into this mess with your whole 'ninjas never give up' act so you can get us out." Kurama snickered and I sighed. "Fine I will." I huffed splashing some of of the water at him. "Tch brat." He used one of his tails to splash me back, he didn't look angry but he was entertained. I laughed as I was splashed by the water.

"You know Kurama you don't have to be grumpy all the time." I smile at him and he looked away. "Whatever kit." He grumbled. I smile at him when he glanced at me and I felt myself waking up. "I'll see ya later." I say as I begin to regain consciousness.

I slowly began to open my eyes to see I was hanging in a somewhere, the cell I was in was dark and I was cuffed from the ceiling I looked down to see if I still had the device on but couldn't tell cause my boobs were in the way.

I sighed and took a deep breath trying to use my chakra which resulted in a feeling of pain erupting from my abdomen it felt as my abdomen had been split open I could feel my muscles twitch and my body shake in pain as I continued to use my chakra. "Ahhhhhhhhh grahhh!" I screamed as I took a break breathing heavily and tried again trying to break free.

I tried a few more times before I realized I couldn't use my chakra. I was huffing trying to catch my breath when I lifted my foot to my face I had placed a small metal file there in case something like this happened.

I took it in my mouth but I heard voices and quickly acted as if I was still passed out. When the voices left I noticed Koyuki in the cage in front of me. I looked at her and she looked back at me.

"Serves you right." She grumbled and I snickered. "Right back at you." I say as I looked at her. "Yeah I know." She grumbled looking down.

"Why do you hate this land so much?" I ask and she glanced at me. "There's no spring in this land, it's always cold. When I was little my father would always say 'you'll see when the spring comes Koyuki.' But this land has no spring, my father died, I fled. I was always running and lying, I stopped believing then and became an actress the only thing I was good at. My life just fell apart." She spoke softly.

That moment I began trying to file the chain holding me up. I had to lift my body up causing my wrists to hurt.

"That's not going to change anything you know." She stated and I kept going ignoring her discouraging words. I kept going until the file slipped from my mouth.

"told ya. It's best when you give up. It's easier." She grumbled to me. I thought about myself for a moment, what would have happened if I had given up back then when I had no one. How lonely I had been how they all treated me......treated me like trash. But even with all of that I found friends I found people who believed in me and trusted me, cared for me. If I had given up then I wouldn't have found any of them not my team not my sensei's not Pervy Sage much less Sasuke.

"You know when I was younger, no one cared for me, I was pushed around and treated pretty shitty in my village and I thought I didn't belong anywhere that no one would care if I vanished, but, but I still found friends, I found so many people that cared for me and good things happened but when you give up everything from your dreams to your hopes vanish. I'll prove to you that, even through hardships if you believe there's a chance for your dreams to become a reality!" I hissed as I let out as much chakra as I could I ignored the sheering pain through my stomach and tried to pump chakra into my arms and pry them apart. I suddenly heard a snap and I was set free from the chains.

I couldn't help but smile as I gritted my teeth from the pain.

"Now let's get you out." I say getting up slowly slightly stumbling as I walked toward the bars I gripped them about to pry them open why I suddenly felt a shock. I shrieked as I fell back, they had electric jails, great.

I was thinking of a way to get out when I heard some voices and I played dead. I heard them mutter something about how did I get out, I heard them unlock my cell and walk in to chain me up again and as soon as they were close enough I sweeped my leg underneath them and quickly punched the other guy in the face and threw the one I had tripped to the jail bars shocking him knocking him out and I round house kicked the other guy knocking him out before throwing him to the bar as well. before snatching the keys from them and taking the cuffs off and getting out the cell locking them in there.

"Hey princess no hope lets get you out." I say as I opened her door and lead her out. "Lets go this way we will find a way out." I say trying to pry the device off me when I heard an explosion. "My team must be this way." I say as I took her hand and we ran together of course I stayed in her speed.

We ran until we were half way across a bridge when a ninja threw a shuriken and then appeared behind us. " I'll deal with this bastard." I hissed getting ready to open a can of ass whooping.

"Wait wait Naruto it's me." The ninja took the mask off and it was Kakashi with his navy blue mask on. "Sensei?" I straighten up before he tosses me my jacket and ninja pouches. "Oh okay... thanks." I say putting my jacket on and my pouches as well. "Hey this place is crawling with guards lets go!" I heard a familiar voice and turned to see Sakura and Sasuke running our way.

"Sakura, Sasuke !" I smile at them as they made it to us and we were off. "Here this is yours." Kakashi gave Koyuki her hex crystal back and she looked at it. "thank you." She muttered as she placed it around her neck.

We had made it to the exit when we were faced with Doto. "Well done Koyuki." She ran off to Doto who was on top of a tall platform.

"Roga! Kakuyoku! " Doto called out as the purple haired (Riga) and pink haired ninja (Kakuyoku) showed up blocking our path.

"Don't be too surprised I mean I am an actress." Koyuki smiled as she placed the hex crystal in Doto's hand. "There you have it. Another brilliant performance by the the great Yukie Fujikaze." Doto laughed as he mocked us.

"Yes it was all an act." Koyuki kept going as she suddenly pulled out a blade and stabbed Doto. We gasped as we saw the scene unfold.

"You." Doto gasped. "I told you I am an actress ." She hissed when he grasped her by the neck. "You wretch!" He yelled. "Koyuki!" I gasped. "It's okay Naruto I always knew that if I ever return to this country I'd die here." She managed to gasp out.

"Koyuki he's going to!" I called out in terror,  she glanced at me. "At least I could .....Naruto thanks to you that I could stop running away in the end." She whimpered . "No all your doing is running away, don't throw your life away like this!" I yell as I watched. "I'm sorry father, Sandayu ." She gasped as she pushed him they tumbled off the edge of the platform koyuki laid motionlessly on the floor and I ran. Was she alive she could have killed her self with the katana and falling from that height.

"Koyuki!" I made it to her only to get punched in the jaw and falling to the floor, I look up to see Doto.

"Did you think you could kill me with this toy?" He asked as he snatched his cloak off to reveal an armor. "That's right, a chakra armor. Our latest prototype. "He smirked koyuki coughed and gasped for breath. I hissed and got up

"Don't touch her!" I yell running back to attack only to get punched and thrown back. I couldn't use my chakra. "Your chakras sealed off." Doto smirked and I gritted my teeth.

"Lets go koyuki, Beyond the rainbow." He smirked as he picked her up. Wings like contraptions sprouted from the back of his armor and he began to take flight. There was a explosion and he was about to escape but threw a ropped kunai around Doto's leg and I was pulled off the ground. I could barely hold my grip since I no longer had my gloves.

We were flying off and I wasn't planning to let go. "Brat!" Doto hissed as he shook his leg trying to shake me off. I held on as well as I could I tried climbing but Doto used the small katana koyuki stabbed him with and cut the rope.

"Naruto!" I heard her scream as I free fell. I looked down closing my eyes, the trees broke my fall and I landed in the snow. I gasped in pain arching my back as I screamed from the impact.

It took me a few minutes to finally be able to get up. I wobbled toward the direction of Doto and Koyuki. I couldn't use my chakra and it was getting hard to move without it.

I walked on a snow covered road searching for them in the sky. "Hop on." I turn to see Director Maniko on an electric sled. I couldn't help the smile as I got on.

"Do you know where they went?" I ask and he nodded "we have an idea which way they went." He stated and I sighed. "Give me a second I'll pinpoint their locations." I say concentrating on the chakra.It was hard because of the device but I felt Sasuke and Sakura and judging by the flares in them they were in battle, Kakashi was fighting as well.

I felt Doto's and koyuki's chakra and knew where they were. " that way." I pointed forward .

For some odd reason it was getting warm but I didn't have time to worry about that. I had lead us to them and when we came to a stop I dashed toward them Doto looked pissed and annoyed.

He did some handsigns and a black dragon came over me I felt when it made contact with my body. I gasped in pain as my body was crushed as I was hit by the jutsu. I heard my name being called out. I took deep breaths lifting my sore body up if only I could use my chakra.

"What's the matter, I hardly felt a thing." I say as I stood up. "Naruto stop he's going to kill you!" Koyuki yelled. "Trust me! Trust me I won't lose to him!" I yell as I poured more chakra into the device I bit my bottom lip as I felt the pain in my abdomen."is the chakra leaking out?" Doto gritted his teeth as he thought I was using chakra somehow. Before I could dodge he rushed toward me attacking using his armor and strength to punch me, the ice crumbled beneath me and I fell into the icy cold water.

I felt my vision blur, shit where was kurama when I needed him. "Hey kurama help me get this shitty device off!" I yelled internally and I heard him grunt as I felt a surge of chakra and the device bursted due to chakra overload.

I smiled as I began swimming upward using my chakra to make shadow clones and send them to fight while I found somewhere else to surface from. I swam until I got out the water from another hole and made two more shadow clones as the rest were destroyed. "It's over !" Doto cheered. "Not yet I told you already it ain't over to justice prevails and evil is wiped out! Every good story's gotta have a happy ending!" I smile as I began making a rasengan.

"Naruto you're the strongest ninja I've ever known!" Koyuki yelled and I smiled " yeah I know, I am going to become hokage ya know!" I smirked as I charged forward using my chakra.

Doto wasn't a ninja so his reflexes weren't that good,  he was an easy target. I rammed my rasengan against his armor making it burst and fly back crashing into a the ice. I fell back taking deep breaths man did I hurt my body ached and I doubt kurama would be able to stop the pain and heal me quickly. I laid on the grass, the snow had suddenly melted away the sky was a light blue and the land wasn't covered with snow anymore.

"Now that's a happy ending ." I smile closing my eyes I was to tired to move.

"You're lucky I decided to help you." Kurama grumbled .

I drifted off I tried to move but my body wouldn't respond and I fell asleep.

When I woke up I was in a hospital. "Your finally up you've been asleep for two days." I glance over to see Sasuke and I couldn't help but smile. "We beat Doto didn't we." I smile and he nodded walking toward me placing a kiss on my forehead. I smiled blushing slightly.

"You're reckless you know, this time you had me worrying about you." He stated and I chuckled. "Now you know what it feels like to have to wait till I woke up." I say smiling . "Yeah and it's not fun, you took forever ." He chuckled taking my hand in his. "So how's the situation?" I asked "They will have celebration to congratulate koyuki for becoming their leader again. And it's still spring outside ." He stated

I turn to see out the window. "How is it spring?" I ask and he sighed. "There never was a fortune hidden it was actually a heat generator that was hidden by the clan." Sasuke stated and I chuckled.

"So Doto betrayed his family in search for a great fortune that was never there?"

"The hex crystal was the key to turn the generator on, Doto thought it was the key to the so called fortune." Sasuke added and I nodded in understandment. "When's the celebration?" I ask. "Today." Sasuke stated and I smiled.

"Hurry up and get dressed, okay? " he stated pointing at my clean clothes sitting on the nightstand. I nod as he walked out of the room, I slowly got up my muscles sore from staying in one spot to long and from the amount of stress from not using chakra.

I slip off the white hospital gown noticing I was basically covered in bandages I remove some of them leaving on the ones that were actually on wounds that hadn't healed yet, I slipped on my sports bra, underwear, pants, shirt and jacket. Thankfully Sasuke had left me my lighter jacket that wasn't for freezing weather. I brushed my messy hair making it become fluffy and I walked out of the hospital room.

"Naruto you're up." Sakura was holding a bento with food. "Hey Sakura." I say smiling at her. "Well at least the food won't go to waste." She smiled holding the bento up.

" Here I was bringing it to you in case you woke up, you did great out there the other day. Doto is in prison now and the snow ninja were taken in custody too." Sakura stated and I nodded as I took the bento.

"Really? Well at least we won't have to worry about them now." I say happily and thanked her for the food as we started making our way to the reception of the hospital so I could sign myself out.

I was happily eating the bento she gave me. "Where's Sasuke?" I ask her. "Kakashi sensei called for him a few minutes ago to help Koyuki." She stated and I nodded in understandment. "C'mon the celebration should be starting soon." She smiled and led the way.

I smiled and followed right behind her. The streets were filled with stands and the people looked happy, there was a parade that was assembling readying for the performance to congratulate Koyuki.

"Naruto, we will be over there."I turn to see Sasuke and smiled. "Oh there you are Sasuke-Kun." Sakura smiled she was walking alongside me holding my festival food because one of my arms was all bandaged up since I over exerted myself like always.

"Sorry about suddenly vanishing, Kakashi sensei wanted me to help a bit with a few things." He stated he didn't sound excited but his voice at least sounded happy and non monotone.

"It's fine, now where did you say our seats were?" I asked as I looked over to the benches and he pointed to the one that was a little higher and closer to the front.

It was late afternoon when the parade started, Koyuki wore a traditional kimono with shades of light and dark pink and different shades of green and purple to match the ivory in her clothes she also wore a weird hat and the people were cheering as they saw her she was riding on a seat that was being carried by fancy dressed men. They proceeded to crown her as daimyo of the land and she took her rightful place as the heir.

Sakura was telling me about what happened on their end of the battle how Sasuke and her fought off the ninja and realized the center of the crystal on the armor was their weak point and how Sasuke's chidori cracked Doto's armor when I fell into the water.

She also explained that when I hit him with my rasengan it was what caused the armor to completely be destroyed and that Sasuke had trusted me even when it looked like I wasn't going to get back up.

"Naruto!" I turned and saw Koyuki. "Congratulations on taking back your home." I smiled at her.

"Thank you, although it wouldn't have been possible without your help, thank you for not giving up on me and dealing with my antics." She replied looking down slightly remembering the things she had said, I waved my unhurt arm.

"It's fine, it's all behind us now your a Daimyo and the land is no longer a frozen wasteland." I say and she nodded. "The land will go back to being cold soon, the heat generator wasn't complete but with the information we have and more research we will find a way to make it permanent." Koyuki stated.

"Huh well good luck, although to bad your going to give up acting." I say as I slightly rocked back and forth on my feet.

Koyuki smirked. "I never said I couldn't continue to act and be the Daimyo." She smirked holding up a movie script and winked."I have to go." She smiled as she left and I waved she probably had work to do.

"Wait a minute I forgot to get her autograph!" I gasped and sulked. "Tch dobe." Sasuke rolled his eyes and handed me an envelope and I opened it peering inside to see a picture of Koyuki and me, the writing read  'never give up on your dreams' and her autograph but I looked like a mummy all bandaged up and unconscious. "You guys could've tried to make me look nicer, dattebayo!" I gasped as I held the picture in my hand.

We only stayed in the land of snow till I was well enough to travel. After saying our goodbyes we traveled back to the  village, it took a few days before we arrived back.

"Home sweet home." I smiled as we passed the village gates. "You guys go home and unpack, I'll be turning in our mission report." Kakashi stated as we arrived.

"Do you think we are going to have a day off tomorrow?" Sakura asked and Kakashi shook his head. "Starting tomorrow we will began team formation training." Kakashi said.

"So make sure to show up at the training grounds early." He gave his famous closed eye smile and poofed away.

"And here I thought we would finally have some relaxing time." Sakura sulked and I smiled. "It's okay Sakura we need the training considering we only have very few battle formations that we learned in the academy and we need to adjust them to our set of skills." I say happily as I stretched.

"Hmm I guess your right." Sakura smiled tiredly. "Hn." Sasuke hummed nodding in agreement. "Well I'm going home and unpacking, I have things I want to look up." I say yawning slightly. "Like what?" Sasuke asked glancing at me.

"I'm going to see if I can learn more of first aid, I don't have the chakra control like Sakura to learn medical jutsu, but a bit of medical knowledge wouldn't hurt and maybe fuinjutsu." I say shrugging.

"Good chakra control?" Sakura mumbled thinking about what I said and she smiled brightly.

"Maybe I should try to learn medical ninjutsu, like Naruto said I have good chakra control. I might not be good in combat but if I learn medical ninjutsu I can patch you two up and benefit the team." Sakura thought out loud. "Ya, you'd be a great medic Sakura." I say happily as I pat her back.

"I should check out some medical ninjutsu books and maybe I can ask for an apprenticeship, but that means I won't be going on a lot of missions." She stated and I shrugged.

"But you'll be stronger and we can try to specialize in other things and it's not like d rank missions take much time." I say smiling and she nodded.

"Well I don't see why you can't, it's a good idea getting a medic on the team." Sasuke grumbled thinking back to the land of waves, chunin exams and our last mission. If we would have had a medic things would've gone smoother.

"Well I'm going home, if y'all want we can meet up for dinner later." I say shrugging and the two of them nodded.

"My apartment, at 7 pm, I'll make sure to make some good dinner." I say smiling as they agreed and we went our separate ways. I walked down the street I could feel a few glares but ignored them, they can't hurt me anymore because I'm stronger than when I was little.

I unpacked my bags and decided to clean up the little mess in my house since Sakura and Sasuke were going to come over. I checked my fridge and threw away whatever expired and made a list of things I needed to make dinner later today and changed into civilian clothing being black tights and one of Sasuke's shirts I stole that didn't have a high collar with the Uchiha clan symbol on the back which fit me a bit below the butt although the front was tight due to my breasts and a loose light orange jacket I also took my headband off. I grabbed my frog wallet shoving it in my pocket along with the list and library card.

I first headed down to the library and quickly went to the shinobi area and began looking for a medical book and fuinjutsu scroll. I picked out all of the medic books that taught herbs and first aids but I didn't find any fuinjutsu scrolls. I went to the librarian

"Excuse me, where can I get Fuinjutsu scrolls?" I asked and she glanced at me frowning as she noticed me but ignored me.

"Um hello, I'd like to know where I can get fuinjutsu scrolls?" I said a little louder so she would pay attention to me.

"I'm sorry but you must be a certified ninja to check out fuinjutsu scrolls." She stated quickly and began ignoring me again. I couldn't help but frown as I took out my library card.

"Well that's fine, as you can see on my card I am a certified ninja and have clearance." I hiss in a low tone and she frowned as she looked up at my card.

"I meant chunin level clearance." She stated and looked away back to reading whatever the hell she was reading.

"Well I'd like to check these books out." I say placing the scrolls and books on the table. She frowned and was about to say something.

"These are cleared for even civilians, don't worry I checked." I say narrowing my eyes at her knowing she'd try something like saying only for chunin level or something along the lines to deny me services.

Although I was lying through my teeth these were all for ninja only. She checked them out and scanned my card and gave my books back. "I'll need the card too." I say waiting for it and she frowned sliding it out from the book she was trying to hide beneath probably to try and get rid of it. 

The old man hokage had made sure that all of my things like my library membership, house lease, bills, medical records or bank account weren't tampered with by civilians or that they could black mail me with them since they did try to at times.

I carried my books and scrolls home before almost kicking  grandma Tsunade's office door down. "Grandma Tsunade I have a question!" I raged and she looked up she was with Shizune sorting papers, Shizune sweatdropped. "Is it true fuinjutsu novice books are for chunin only in the library?!" I asked practically jumping on top of the desk, Shizune was about to scold me for manners but the Tsunade spoke .

"No, it's available to all certified leaf village ninjas, but may I ask why you want to know?" She asked cocking a brow in annoyance with my antics.

"Well I want to learn fuinjutsu but the lady won't let me check out any books and she wanted to steal my super official library card with shinobi clearance." I say holding out my library card. Tsunade frowned at what I said.

"What do you mean steal?" She asked sounding angry at what I told her. "Yeah, she also completely blew me off at first and she tried to hide my card and not give it back to me, she was also about to tell me I couldn't check out medical books either." I say frowning.

"Old man hokage was always making sure that they didn't try to mess with my official paperwork or erase my information from important documents, I'm lucky she let me check out books." I say and Tsunade looked pissed.

"Well you should've told me sooner, Shizune make sure there's a new librarian soon and Naruto if anyone tries to deny service to you like that again tell me. " she stated in a low tone.

"Right away, lady Tsunade." Shizune nodded and went to go do as she ordered.

"So you want to learn fuinjutsu?" Tsunade asked cocking a brow and I quickly nodded. "I want to learn medical ninjutsu but I don't think I have good enough chakra control so I'll learn some more non jutsu techniques." I say smiling happily and Tsunade smiled.

"You know those things are basic I could teach you and I could have Shizune teach you about ointments and poisons." Tsunade stated and I smiled widely and nodded.

"Yeah I'd like that!" I squeal. "First read the book you checked out and work on your chakra control then I'll teach you. But you can start training with Shizune when ever and for fuinjutsu here." She stood up and motioned me to follow her which I did.

We walked down the halls and made it to the scrolls room, she led me inside and started looking through the scrolls.

"Here." She started handing me a few red colored scrolls and the one big one. "You should use these to study, in sure if you try hard you can master sealing ." Tsunade stated and I try to hold all of them in my arms.

"Thanks baa-chan!" I smile happily as she hit my head. "Stop calling me grandma." She hissed in annoyance making me almost drop the scrolls. "Ow ow that hurt." I whimpered as I teetered. "I'll make sure too study really hard." I grumble. " I'll bring them back when I'm finished with them." I say and she shook her head.

"Keep them just make sure to keep them safe." She added and I nodded as I walked out. "Bye! Baa-chan!" I smile hurrying out so that she couldn't hit me again, I hurried out the hokage building with the scrolls and was heading home.

After a while my arms and shoulder began to hurt from carrying the heavy scrolls especially the big one I had strapped on my back.

I went home and placed them on the bookshelf and hurried to do my shopping and maybe stop for some ichuraku since I had hours before my teammates would come. I bought some rice meat and lots of veggies to cook with. I made sure to get napkins and some drinks to go along with it too. I was carrying the heavy bags thinking of what else I should improve on when I stopped at ichuraku ramen shop. "Serve me a miso ramen!" I cheered happily as I took a seat placing my things on the floor and nearby just in case.

"Oh hey Naruto you're back from your mission?" Techicu asked as Ayame came over to where I was. "Long mission eh Naruto?" She asked and I nodded. "It was another a ranked mission. We are going to take it easy for a while though." I say smiling as teaching started making my ramen. "Did you go shopping.?" Ayame asked as she pointed to my shirt and I shook my head. "It's Sasuke's, I stole it from. Him the other day." I whisper and she laughed. "Already stealing your boyfriends clothes?" She asked and I blushed.

"It was soft and look it has the Uchiha sign on it." I say slipping my jacket off and turning so she could see and she smiled.

"He won't get mad?" She asked and I shook my head. "I sorta asked for it and he said yes I was going to take it either way." I shrugged slipping my jacket back on and rolling up my sleeves as she placed my ramen bowl down.

"Well I think it's cute." She stated and I smiled. "Thanks, itadakimasu." I say placing my hands together and began eating. "So how long have you been dating?" She asked and I thought for a moment.

"Almost five months." I say as I ate. "That's quite some time now isn't it, and what about training." She asked as she picked up another customers bowl.

"I've been training extra hard, Pervy Sage went on a mission but he will be back soon. Kakashi sensei said we are training on team attacks and I'm going to learn fuinjutsu and probably some medical ninjutsu."I say smiling.

"Sealing and medical training, both sound hard but I wish you good luck.." Ayame smiled and I nodded as I continued eating. She had to go attend other customers.

I quickly finish my ramen and sit back smiling. "Another bowl?" Teaching asked about to serve me again and I shook my head. "I'm going I have things to do." I say paying and getting up grabbing my groceries. "But thanks for the meal." I smile and wave as I left. I smile as I walk not paying any mind to the people around me or what they said. I open my apartment door and walk inside.

"I'm home." I call out although I know no ones there and I set the things down in the counter and began putting the groceries away and wipe down the counters before heading to my room and stripping as I walk into the bathroom, I draw a hot bath to soak in after my shower. I quickly get in the shower and wash my hair with my lavender scented shampoo and conditioner.

I scrub my body with a lavender scented body wash and rinse before dipping into the tub and letting out a sigh. ' hmm what am I going to do after I get out.' I thought to myself.

'I can start reading some of the scrolls Tsunade gave me and taking notes, then I can cook some meaty meal and rice to accompany it.' I nodded to myself as I relaxed and soaked.

Half an hour later I was brushing my blond hair and wearing some sweat pants baggy shirt and my light orange jacket I put a pin to pin my bangs back and slip on my socks and plopped down in front of the coffee table where the books and scrolls were at. I set my note book and pencil down and began reading the titles of the scrolls placing them in order from novice to master and did the same for the medical books. I first picked up the medic books and organized them on the bookshelf and then the scrolls leaving only the novice one so that I could start studying it. I opened it and I was instantly tired but I began reading.

Surprisingly it was pretty straight forward and made it easy to take notes on before I knew it I was already filling out pages of reminders and notes on what I was reading. At first I had thought it would be boring but it wasn't. Time seemed to fly because when I looked at the time it was already five. I placed a small piece of paper as a book mark in the scroll and rolled it up leaving it on the table as I got up stretching my back popping it .

I went to the kitchen to get dinner ready. I cut the meat up added seasoning and began cooking it while I prepare the veggies separately, I also set the rice cooker and left the rice to cook.

I began making the onigiri stuffing ready just the way Sasuke liked it with salmon in the center or tomato and meat. Before I knew it there was a knock on the door and I turned down the flame and quickly went to open it.

" I'm coming!" I called out as I opened the door to see Sasuke, he was wearing civilian clothes and left his ninja tools at home. "Hey." I say pecking his cheek and let him in.

"Hurry up I'm still cooking." I say as I hurry back to the kitchen.

"It feels weird not carrying my ninja tools."Sasuke says as he plops down on the couch. "Yeah it's cause you never take yours off." I laugh as I turn the flames back to normal and went back to cooking.

"Hey dobe what with the scroll?" Sasuke called out from the couch I glanced at him seeing he was reading it. "It's fuinjutsu, I'm going to start learning it." I say smiling.

"And this?" He asked and I glance to see him pointing at the notebook. "Those are little notes I've been taking, I thought I'd take notes to help me remember and study it." I say. "When did you out of all people start studying?" He asked "Today actually." I reply as I start making rice balls.

"Today! It seems you have real knack to it. Can you even understand it? The wording is jumbled and it makes no sense."Sasuke states and I cock a brow.

"What do you mean, it's talking about the stabilization and structural build of a seal and how to balance it." I say and he looked at me as if he had two head.

"I'm not going to question it." He sighed as he leaves it and walked into the kitchen placing a kiss on my cheek.

"How about I help you out." He says smiling as he washed his hands and dried them and began helping me make onigiri. "Sure." I say smiling as he molded them and added the filling.

Soon enough there was another knock on the door, Sasuke and I were almost finished making the onigiri and the food was ready.

"I'll go get it." I say as I rinsed my hands and went to open the door. "Coming!" I yell as I open the door. "Hey Sakura, come in." I say happily as I step to the side, she wore a light green frilled colored shirt and dark grey pants.

"Hope I'm not here to early." She smiled as she took her shoes off at the doorway. "Is Sasuke-kun here yet?" She asked and I nodded pointing to Sasuke who was making rice balls.

"I thought you were  going to cook?" Sakura was confused. "Yeah he came early so he decided to help me with the rice balls." I say as I walk to the kitchen.

"Here let's start eating." I say as I set the food on the table and Sasuke washed his hands.

"I hope you like the cooking." I say shyly as we all took a seat I brought out the plates and served them.

"Itadakimasu." We all said before we began eating. "Naru the drinks." Sasuke reminded me. "Oh yeah I forgot!" I quickly got up grabbing mine and Sasuke's favorite drink.

"Sakura which flavor do you want we have orange, Mountain Dew or just coke?" I ask and she points to the coke and I brought them to the table. "Here you go." I passed her her drink "and your favorite." I gave Sasuke his.

"You like orange soda?" Sakura asked and I nodded for him. "Its his favorite I have an entire stash for when he eats here." I say. "Oh so you come here often?" She asked and he nodded. "We train all the time." I add.

"So you never told us what you were going to do for personal training." I say glancing at him. "I'm going to get Kakashi sensei to train my ." He points at his eyes as he stuffs his face with meat and veggies.

"Sharingan training?" I say nodding in understandment. "What about you Sakura, are you going to apply for medical classes?" I asked glancing at her.

"I asked lady Tsunade to be her apprentice today. It took a while but I convinced her." She smiled happily. "You naruto?" She asked I smiled widely.

"Baa-chan gave me fuinjutsu scrolls so I'm going to start studying." I smile. "Good, tomorrow we start team formation training." Sakura smiled "Yeah, we get to make combo attacks!" I cheered.

We talked about what training methods we thought we were going to do and about the missions.

Soon enough Sakura had to go because she didn't want her parents to worry although she did help me pick up the plates." Aren't you going home?" I asked Sasuke as he helped me by drying the dishes and he shook his head. "Nope, I'm staying over." He smiled proudly. "Tch fine just don't get any Pervy ideas pervert ." I hum.

"I won't, I won't." He chuckled. "Besides I left clothes here so I can change and I did bring my ninja tools just not on me." He smirked and I sighed. "You might as well move here. since your always here." I chuckle and he paused and acted like he was in dee thought.

"Hmm you're right dobe." He stated and I smiled. "Teme."
