Chapter 22 - Chapter 22 Land of Snow (4)

Land of Snow

Roga and Fubuki were descending to the snow village as fast as they could with their suits, both subordinates of Doto. They saw several men with samurai armor who were fighting against the subordinates of the country's dictator, both snow shinobi managing to reach the surface and stand in front of the leader of the troops. 

"What the hell is going on!!" Roga roared, glaring at the leader in charge, a man in his forties or fifties who seemed to have seen better days, as all his clothes were a mess. "Roga-dono, Fubuki-dono, it's good to see you," the man said, bowing slightly to his two Snow Daimyo leaders and bodyguards. "It was a very sudden attack, but they've already managed to attack and destroy several checkpoints," the man said. 

"That's impossible," Fubuki said, looking at her squad leader, who was gritting his teeth in frustration. "How could they destroy so many places in such a short time, in just a few hours?" the pink-haired woman asked the leader, hiding her true feelings. 

"We believe it was an inside job, but that's not the most worrying thing," said a subordinate of both of Doto's bodyguards, drawing the attention of these two. "We have suffered several losses; several of my men have been captured or killed. On the rebel side, it seems that they are mostly civilians and Samurai," reported the man. 

"But according to some of our men, there is a group of shinobi with them supporting the rebels." When mentioning that last part. Roga could only form a mocking smile, knowing who they were. 

"Kakashi Hatake!!!" Doto's main bodyguard roared in annoyance, but before anything else, a smile appeared on his face. "It seems that we will be able to eliminate that bastard after all," said Roga. "It seems like he was right," Fabuki murmured. 

As she kicked Roga, throwing several kunais as her wings expanded, before the sound of an explosion. Boomm.

"What are you doing, Fabuki? Are you betraying us?" said Roga as he picked up from the kick. "I would have to be loyal to you for me to betray you," said Fabuki 

As more explosions followed, Fabuki flew up in the sky, throwing kunais as if they were a signal. " Get all able-bodied and split them up to defend the castle. I'll go after that traitor myself," said Roga, looking at the guards. 

Only for a fire hound to come flying at them, forcing Roga to dodge. "Kakashi Seems like i have to deal with you before killing that traitorous bitch" said Roga "Ice style frost gale!" Roga shouted, firing a blast of ice at the Konoha jonin. 

Seeing the sky-blue-haired boy's attack, Kakashi quickly made hand seals, placing them on the ground. "Earth Style Mud wall!"  said Hatake, forming a wall that protected a large part of the group of samurai from the attack of the Earth Jutsu. Said wall began to freeze and break due to the pressure of the jutsu that it was enduring. 

The left edge of the wall began to break faster than the Konoha jonin could wait for it to break. 

' Damn it, ' the silver-haired man mentally growled, trying to hold the rest of the wall as firmly as possible, only to then hear a scream behind him. 

When the attack ended, Kakashi looked out of the corner of his eyes and saw a couple of samurai fall to the ground, one with his face frozen, which broke into hundreds of pieces when it hit the ground. 

While the other samurai was alive, his left arm and part of his torso were frozen. 

Kakashi, watching the Roga land in front of him, felt a slight chill and looked down slightly, and saw that a light layer of ice had formed on the left side of his arm. 

' Wow, that was close,' thought the cyclops, looking at his opponent. " Looks like I have to get back to training, " said the Konoha jonin to himself, making a mental note for later. 

"Kakashi-dono is fine," said a man behind the silver-haired man, which made Roga only frown in recognition. 

"Well, I think I wasn't wrong when I compared you to a cockroach, Sandayu," the light blue-haired man spat out the last part, seeing how Koyuki's representative was still alive, "Like shit, you're still alive, you damn scum," Roga said with a marked twitch in his eye when he saw his boss's niece's bodyguard. 

"And why would I tell you that?" said the princess's representative. " I must give the boy credit, so far this has gone quite well," thought the ex-samurai captain, looking directly at the enemy. 

"Ice style Ice Spikes." Sandayu stopped his train of thought when he saw Doto's subordinate firing at him. Kakashi stood in front of the man and began blocking the group of ice spikes with a pair of Kunais. 

But a few stakes managed to cut through his clothes. "Sandayu-san, get your men out of here and continue, I'll take care of him," said Kakashi with his Sharingan uncovered. 

Sandayu wanted to argue about it, but he knew that if he stayed, he would be a burden to the Shinobi of the leaf, nodding at the masked jonin man's words and calling his men to leave that place to continue with his attack, leaving the two ninjas for their confrontation to the death. 

Roga watched as the group of samurai began to retreat from the place and turned to the source of his hatred. 

"Well Kakashi, are you going to tell me how all those vermin survived or are you going to leave me in suspense?" asked the light blue-haired boy, seeing how Kakashi just looked back at him without saying a word. "Very well, then die with your secrets, Kakashi of Sharingan!!!" Roga shouted. 

As he began to throw a group of Shurikens at his opponent, Kakashi, seeing the trajectory of the projectiles with his Doujutsu, jumped back to avoid the blows, then took out his kunais and began to block a new wave of Shurikens that the light blue-haired boy had thrown at him. 

The latter began to run towards where the masked jonin man was, who also began to run forward, only for the Konoha native and the Yuki no Kuni native to start a hand-to-hand fight. 

Roga was throwing punches and kicks against his opponent, who was blocking the blue-haired boy's blows while moving the kunais he had in his hand. Kakashi managed to make his opponent back up. 

But at that moment, Kakashi's eye saw Roga perform another pair of seals on his hands. "Ice Style White Snake Fangs," said Roga, so that a pair of curved daggers formed in his hands, which quickly collided with the masked jonin's kunais, and soon both enemies resumed their attempts to defeat the other. 

Only this time, they were both trying to stab each other. Soon, the Hatake let out a slight grunt as he felt pain in his hands, which caused him to get distracted for a moment, a moment that the light blue-haired boy took advantage of to try to stab him. 

Seeing his carelessness, the jonin of Team 7 had to duck to avoid the cut that was going towards his throat. 

He then saw a small opening in his opponent's stance, so he sent his kunai in the direction of the bodyguard's heart, but when Kakashi's kunai hit his enemy's chest, it broke into several pieces. 

Which made Kakashi open his Sharingan eye, only to see Roga's smiling face, but the Hatake didn't have time to think about that when he had a paw from the light blue-haired man with his arm, sending him backwards. 

The masked jonin rolled on the snowy ground as he managed to turn and adjust himself to prepare for the fight again, but out of the corner of his eye, the Hatake could see how the Kunai that remained to him had a light, but present layer of ice on it. 

' That must have been the little pain I felt earlier,' Kakashi thought as he watched Roga advance towards him, throwing punches and slashes at his masked jonin opponent. 

Taking some distance, Kakashi threw some shurikens towards his enemy, who stepped aside to avoid the blow, but Roga saw too late that the shurikens were tied with ninja wire. 

Kakashi pulling the cable made the shurikens change direction and attack from behind Roga, who, this time, failed to move fast enough to dodge the blow, which ended with a few shurikens embedded in his armor, which made the light blue-haired boy groan. 

"Son of a", Roga couldn't finish as he felt a strong blow to the stomach from the Hatake that made him knock the air out of his lungs. Barely recovered from the blow, Roga felt a cut on his shoulder, which made him let out a groan of pain. 

So again, the snow, shinobi started throwing punches and potatoes at his opponent, who began to gain ground, forcing Roga to retreat further and further. 

' I have to get him as far away from the city as possible so I can fight without so many restrictions,' Kakashi thought, recalling their plan, as he hit his opponent and began to get further and further away from the center of the city. 

Flashback 

Moments before disembarking

In the locker room you could see team 7, Kakashi who had his porn book put away given the current situation, Sandayu and Koyuki, who were surrounding a table that had a map of the land of snow, all members of team 7 were silently looking at the map of the land of snow. 

"Sandayu-san, I need you to explain to us exactly what you plan to do and explain to my students what the objective of Doto's guards is," Kakashi said, breaking the silence and causing Sandayu to nod. 

"First, the objective of Doto and his guards" began the gray-haired man looking at the jonin of team 7 "They want the Hexagonal crystal, it is the relic of the Kazahana family, which has been passed down from generation to generation within the family" said Sandayu while Koyuki showed the whole group said crystal and then put it back in her dress. 

"The reason why Doto wants her is not entirely clear," said Sandayu, approaching the map on the table. "When we reach land, we will disembark and head northwest until we reach a pass between the mountains that will allow us to reach the village. That will take us a whole day," said Koyuki's representative and guardian. 

"When we reach the town, we will meet with the rebel group who will be waiting outside the pass when I send them a message," said Sandayu, and then pointed to various points in the city. "Fabuki managed to pass us key information," said Sandayu. 

"In her report, Gato didn't trust her. She had to prove her loyalty by killing her parents," said Koyuki, shocking and earning a gasp from Sakura and Sasuke. "Sadly, they didn't resist and died proud of her. With that, she managed to cement her loyalty to Gato. This allowed her to give key information like. Doto plans to send his men to intercept us in the mountains, to eliminate us and take Koyuki-sama, so that Doto can obtain the crystal and can eliminate her later," said Sandayu, attracting the attention of the Shinobi group and making Koyuki shudder a little. 

"Then we should look for another route to enter the village," suggested Kakashi, who was a little surprised by this information, but saw how Sandayu shook his head and pointed at the map again. 

"That's also part of the plan Kakashi-dono, what happens is that I have men waiting to attack Doto's forces when they arrive at the place" said Sandayu who had a determined look "When Doto arrives we can attack him with all the men we have and that way we will end the main threat in one blow" said the gray haired man hitting his fists. 

Koyuki, hearing this, was seriously confused. "This is too simple that it's hard to believe," said the snow princess, making the whole group nod at the words of the snow heiress, even Sandayu would unconsciously accept that the plan was too simple to be true. 

"Excuse me, Sandayu-san, how can we trust her information is reliable? And what if she was deceived?" Sakura asked the representative, who took a minute to remember. 

"That's impossible, she's one of his bodyguards, how could she lie to her?" said Sandayu. Sakura, who was listening, looked at Naruto, noticing the look he was sending at Kakashi, who nodded.

"What about Doto's forces?" Sasuke asked. "It would be very boring to fight alone against simple pawns," he said, crossing his arms with his typical smile. Everyone present had to suppress a sigh at the Uchiha's attitude. 

"They are mostly lost samurai and mercenaries, apart from his guard. Doto doesn't have a very large shinobi force," said Sandayu, drawing a grunt from Sasuke, who had a look of annoyance marked on his face. 

"TSK, a mere waste of my time," said Sasuke, which made Kakashi sigh, who looked at his student before coming up with a way to motivate his student. 

"MAAA, MAAA, don't be like that Sasuke, some of those mercenaries might be lost ninjas" said Kakashi, gaining the attention of the black-haired boy "And that way we can measure your strength" said the Hatake, which caught the attention of his Uchiha student, who opened his eyes slightly at the idea. 

"Sandayu-san, could you give us a little more detail about the pass area?" Naruto asked, causing Koyuki's representative to look at him for a moment before beginning his explanation. 

"Well, the climb to reach the pass is very complicated, not to mention the sudden blizzards in the area. This will force us to walk to the pass. The area has a small flat area at the top where we can cross without much trouble," said the former samurai captain. 

"We may be walking into an ambush," said Kakashi, making everyone look at him. " Doto might not thrust anyone and use this to weed out traitors. It would be a great way to find out who is loyal to him and deal a blow to the rebel army."

"I wouldn't put it past him to manipulate the information; otherwise, why would this information be leaked so easily?" said Naruto. "I also agree that this information leak was too simple. The location and the attack so quickly leaned to Naruto-kun's and Kakashi-sensei's point," said Sakura as she was hugging Naruto.

Sandayu wanted to respond to the statements made by the Leaf Shinobi, but when he thought a little about the words they said, he found no valid argument to refute those statements. 

"So what do you suggest?" asked the samurai chief. 

"First, we would have to reorganize the plan and relocate the troops. If it is a trap, it would be better if none of them appeared in that place," said Kakashi, nodding to Naruto as if he already had something. "Do you have something, Naruto?" 

"Hai, Kakashi-sensei," said Naruto. "We could follow Sandayu's plan but switch up the force," said Naruto. "What do you mean, Naruto-kun? Is there a way for that to happen?" asked Sakura.

Nodding, "Actually, we could use Inhanced Shadow Clones so they can withstand more than one hit. That, combined with a seal formula that can transform the clones into people. I could create enough for the attack, it can be modified so that Sandayu-san could use it at the moment to open it," said Naruto as Kakashi thought about it, nodding occasionally. 

"It's feasible, shadow clones are not the best since they disperse after one hit. We are playing to get Doto into a safe place so we can counterattack when they least expect," said Kakashi. "And I won't tolerate anyone with an ego trying to ruin it," as most turned to look at Sasuke. 

"Naruto, I want you to find a way to sneak a message to Fabuki so only she could see," said Kakashi, his tone serious. " I have some of her chakra, so I could try to make something." Naruto nodded as he pondered how to do it.

"Sandayu-san, I need you to give me the exact number of men you were going to send to attack, so I can create enough clones to distract Doto, and you and your group can take the city," Kakashi said as Naruto walked towards Koyuki. 

"Koyuki-san, in case Doto has a surprise for us and manages to finish off the Reinforced Clone army, you'll have to act convincingly," said Naruto, seeing that the snow princess sent him a mocking smile, which made the Uzumaki feel a little foolish at such a question. 

"Naruto-kun, Kakashi-sensei, wouldn't it be better for Koyuki-sama to have something to defend herself with in case of any mishap?" Sakura questioned, which earned her a nod from the jinchuriki at the idea. 'Yeah, all of the Naruto-kun girls have a special weapon. When will we get ours' asked the inner. "Naruto-kun said he ordered it so that it might be in 3 to four months," Sakura thought.

"Good idea, Sakura-chan, I think I have something perfect for her," said the Hanyou, and then approached the map. "But for now, we should concentrate on this," said Naruto, making the whole group approach the table where the map was. And they began to plan the new coup against the Doto government. 

End of Flashback

"Sandayu-san, I need you to give me the exact number of men you were going to send to attack, so I can create enough clones to distract Doto, and you and your group can take the city." Naruto looked at Koyuki. 

"Koyuki-san, in case Doto has a surprise for us and manages to finish off the Dark Clone army, you'll have to act convincingly," said the Hanyou, seeing that the snow princess sent him a mocking smile, which made the Uzumaki feel a little foolish at such a question. 

"Naruto-kun, wouldn't it be better for Koyuki-sama to have something to defend herself with in case of any mishap?" Sakura questioned, which earned her a nod from the jinchuriki at the idea. 

"Good idea, Sakura-san, I think I have something perfect for her," said the Hanyou, and then approached the map again. "But for now, we should concentrate on this," said Naruto, making the whole group approach the table where the map was. 

And they began to plan the new coup against the Doto government. 

" Ice Style Avalanche of Snow Wolves," he said, so that, like the previous time, a group of wolves charged at Kakashi, who began to dodge the wolves' attacks, but had to double his efforts when he saw how Roga attacked along with them. Kakashi is making a hand seal. 

" Shadow Clone Jutsu," said the masked man, making 4 copies of himself appear. "Everyone knows the plan, so let's go," said the original Kakashi while the entire group of shadow clones nodded and charged towards the wolf pack and Roga. 

At that moment, Kakashi's clones began to fight against the wolves. They saw that, although there were too many of them, they were sure that the original plan was going to work. A clone charged against two wolves with kunais in both hands, while another charged against another group of wolves, while the last two were supporting the original. 

With Sakura and Sasuke 

Both genins were running through the city, seeing how people had rushed to hide inside a house to avoid confrontations as much as possible, but the two genins jumped back when a few kunais stuck in the ground where they had been. 

"Oops, my bad, thought you two were some guards," said the pink-haired female as she landed in front of them. An amused smile played at her lips while she looked at Sasuke. Who was irritated but held his tongue after Kakashi had already started to limit him, a UCHIHA ELITE, humiliating him, and even ignoring his requests to get stronger. Even when he held his tongue back with his useless team.

"Well then, follow me, there are a few secret passages we could use to finish the guards," said Fabuki as she led them away with Sakura and Sasuke on guard. 'And here I thought they were going to make the prick suffer a bit,' Sakura sighed as she mentally lamented to herself. 'Well, I guess next time, ' the inner said hopefully.

With Naruto and Koyuki 

Naruto was watching as Doto looked like he was about to foam at the mouth from the anger he could feel and see on the snow tyrant's face, Naruto getting into a fighting stance with his Katana held in a reverse grip one one hand while on the other a kunai, while the Naruto bent his knees slightly. 

Doto gritted his teeth to try to calm his anger while giving the other two crew members of the airship a murderous look. 

"You miserable worms if you think you can stop me," Doto growled as he tore at his clothes. 

"I will crush each one of you personally!!" Doto shouted furiously, revealing armor like that of his group of bodyguards, but it was black. "With your deaths, nothing will stop me," Doto said as he charged at Naruto to try to hit him to crush him against the ground. 

"Die!!" said Doto, but saw how the Jinchuriki moved to the side to dodge the blow, but his surprise didn't last long because he felt Naruto send a kick to his face sending the tyrant to the side of the cabin and burying him a little in the metal, Doto was momentarily stunned, when he came back to his senses he moves to the side to dodge a cut from the Uzumaki "Little Bas-¡!". 

"Release," hearing those words, Doto stopped when he recognized his niece's voice behind him. When he turned to see her, Koyuki's uncle had to cover his face with his arms when a knife pierced the forearm of his armor, which surprised the snow tyrant. 

"But what?" said the snow tyrant, somewhat confused as he was covered with two more knives, the older Kazahana jumped back to get some distance.

 "I hope you like my gift, Koyuki-Hime," said Naruto, making the princess smile while two more knives appeared in her hand as she threw them again at her uncle, who this time dodged them, watching as the knives hit the metal wall with their tips and fell to the ground. 

"I love them, Naruto-kun," said Koyuki, who stood next to the Konoha-Nin. Doto noticed how the knives that his niece had thrown at him were no longer where they had been before. But before he could ask how that was possible, he saw the Uzumaki disappear from his place and appear in front of him. 

The next thing Doto felt was the sharp pain he felt and that was increasing, moving his eyes a little he saw how the jinchuriki was in front of him and he sent a horizontal cut towards his chest, although he only managed to cut the armor, but at the same time it hit the man's bones hard. 

With Kakashi 

Each clone prevented the snow wolves from supporting Doto's bodyguard, allowing Kakashi to take control of the fight again. Kakashi managed to grab a punch that was going towards his chest, pulling his enemy towards him. Kakashi kneed his enemy in the stomach, causing him to be stunned for a moment. 

That moment was used by Kakashi to send a diagonal cut with his kunai across his enemy's chest, who, upon feeling the cut, sent a blow to Kakashi that sent him backwards. Rogan took distance and saw with anger how a little blood began to drip from his shoulder, which made him grit his teeth. 

"You damn piece of shit!! I'm going to rip your damn head off" said Roga as he ran at full speed to enter into a pure Taijutsu combat, where with each passing moment Roga's movements and blows became more and more erratic and wild "Stay still" demanded the light blue-haired man. 

Kakashi, watching his enemy's blood fall against the snow, had an idea, but he needed to wait for the right moment. 

"Okay, I'm fed up with this," said Rogan, who began to make seals with his hands. "Let's see if you can escape from this. I will annihilate you, and in this entire area, only rubble and your corpse will remain," said Roga, who finished his jutsu. 

"Ice style Ice whale," He shouted as a huge ice whale about 25 meters long began to form above him and Kakashi, which began to fall towards where the masked jonin was. 

"Damn," said the Hatake, his mind racing to find a way to stop the jutsu from destroying the houses with people inside, while with every second the whale's body got closer and closer to the ground. 

At that moment Kakashi cursed the Sharingan's photographic ability, he even thought it was a kind of punishment for such an ability, since at this moment seeing how his doom and that of several innocent people was slowly approaching, quite ironic if you ask him, by pure instinct Kakashi began to expel more chakra as a preparation to do something. 

Without Kakashi realizing it, his Sharingan began to spin so that it became a different pattern. Kakashi, who was still watching, began to feel how his chakra reserves began to decrease, but before he could do anything, he saw how the Snow Whale began to be absorbed by a whirlpool. 

Soon the structure of the whale was slowly being sucked into the whirlpool, but before the whirlpool could absorb what was left of the whale Kakashi had to hold his left eye as he felt a red-hot rod being thrust directly into his brain through his eye. 

The remains of Roga's Jutsu fell to the ground and caused a curtain of snow to rise, covering the entire place. Roga covered himself with his arms when the curtain of snow reached him. After a few seconds, the snow dissipated, and the light blue-haired man saw Kakashi's figure fall to the ground on his knees, placing a hand on the ground. 

Roga smiled as he saw his enemy on the ground and began to walk to where Kakashi was. When he was in front of him, he saw that the Hatake had a little snow on his jonin uniform, which had some cuts. Seeing the masked man, he saw how he was panting from exhaustion and holding his left eye. 

"Well, well, I have no idea what you did to eliminate so much of my attack, but it certainly cost you a lot," said Roga, standing in front of the Hatake. "Well, it's time to collect my prize," said Roga. 

Doto's guard lifted the tired Kakashi to face him and placed his hands on his neck, and began applying pressure. 

"Which will be taking your life little by little with my own hands," said the light blue-haired man with a big smile that was accompanied by eyes full of pure bloodlust, but while he was strangling the leaf ninja, he heard some murmurs coming from his mouth. 

"MMMM, any last words?" he said, bringing his face a little closer to his opponent, but he didn't loosen his grip on the masked jonin, who looked, opened his right eye, and took a second before answering, "Go ahead, I'm all ears," said Roga 

"L-Look t- ... " Roga felt his entire body go numb when the 'Kakashi' in his hands exploded in a burst of electricity, which immediately paralyzed him. When he regained his bearings, he could only hear the sound of several birds. 

" Chidori !!" Kakashi shouted, piercing Roga's chest from side to side. Roga had a look of pure surprise and disbelief at what had happened. Roga forced himself to look up, seeing the image of a Kakashi who seemed to be about to faint due to exhaustion, this being the last thing he saw when his eyes darkened forever. 

Slowly, Kakashi removed his hand from Roga's corpse's chest, which, after Kakashi removed his cigarette, fell to the ground with a thud, only for Kakashi to follow shortly after, breathing heavily. Kakashi reached with his left hand towards one of his pockets, then took out a soldier pill. 

"Well… this should… help," he said as he took the pill and swallowed it, relaxing his breathing a little. Kakashi felt his chakra reserves begin to stabilize, letting out a sigh, he looked up at the sky for a moment. "I wish they made them with a better flavor," the Hatake said out loud to no one in particular. 

Kakashi sat for a moment, feeling his entire body still ache from the excessive chakra consumption. 

' But what happened? ' the Konoha jonin questioned himself as he placed his hand on his left eye, feeling how it still hurt. "Even dead, you still save me, eh. Obito," said Kakashi, who let out a sigh to look up at the sky for a moment. 

The masked man managed to spot the airship he had seen before and saw how it was heading towards a mountain in the distance. Kakashi managed to stand up, wiped the blood from his right hand, and stretched a little. 

"Damn, I wish I could continue my cultural reading," the Hatake said to the air as his hand went to his ninja bag for some reading material. 

Kakashi just sighed and took his hand away from his ninja bag. 

"There will be time for that," he said to himself and looked ahead, listening to how some battles were still being fought. "Well, work calls," with that, Kakashi left to support the rebels. 

With Naruto 

After sending the slash to Koyuki's uncle, Naruto stood next to the man and then gave a small jump and sent a kick to Doto's face, who was momentarily lifted into the air due to the force of the blow and then crashed into the metal floor. 

"How did you manage to cut me? This armor is invincible!' Doto growled as he barely recovered from the attack, holding the place where the cut was on his armor. 

"And you are not wrong," Doto looked at the Hanyou for answers. "Your armor can absorb chakra, but," Naruto said, placing one of his swords in front of his face and sending a dark smile to the Kazahana. "But i'm not using chakra it's all my skill!" said Naruto Doto was weighing his options, he looked for a moment at his opponent and his niece, then briefly looked out the window and saw that he was close to the ice pillars 'If only I could distract them long enough' he thought and then smiled at his idea. 

Naruto, seeing Doto's smile, got ready to act, but he didn't expect Doto to take out about 4 kunais with explosive tags. 

"Let's see if they can survive this!" shouted the snow tyrant. 

Causing the Uzumaki to open his eyes to what Koyuki's uncle was about to do, but before he could do or say anything, the Uzumaki saw how Doto threw the kunais towards the walls, causing them to explode, leaving a smoke screen, while Naruto grabbed Koyuki and protected her from the explosion. 

After the smoke cleared, both Koyuki and Naruto looked ahead. 

"Good luck with the landing," Doto said as wings sprouted from his back and he exited through one of the holes left by the explosions. Once outside the airship, the snow tyrant threw another pair of explosive kunais towards the aircraft's engines, destroying them and causing it to wobble and begin to fall. 

Smiling with satisfaction, Doto headed towards where the ice pillars were. Meanwhile, inside the Ship, it was all chaos, but Naruto could be seen applying chakra to his feet to stick to the ground and to help the snow princess. 

' Damn it, we have to get out of here before- ' his thoughts were interrupted as he saw the engines destroyed. 

Feeling the tremors of the explosions, Naruto briefly looked through the hole that's until he spotted something coming their way. "Idiot, did you forget you can fly?" Kurama's voice echoed in his mind. 

Naruto, embarrassed, scratched his head. "I forgot." Several tremors throughout the airship were felt. Seeing his options were limited, he made a decision, carrying the princess bridal style, the Hanyou looked at the princess. 

"Hold on tight, Koyuki-Hime," said the Hanyou, making the Kazahana surround his neck with her arms. With they jumped through the hole in the wall, the moment they both left the airship, it exploded. 

The blast wave hit the couple, causing Koyuki to release her grip. The world seemed to move very slowly as they stared into each other's eyes while moving further and further away from each other. 

"Damn," said the Hanyou. Naruto tried to reach the princess and extended his hand to try to catch her. Koyuki, mimicking the action, tried to grab the jinchuriki's hand, but only to miss by a few centimeters between them. 

"Naruto-kun" said Koyuki as the two fell and the distance between them began to grow, Naruto managed to orient himself in the air, then he began to look around until he saw Koyuki a few meters away, at that moment he created a golden chakra chain and tried to throw it so Koyuki would take it. As he threw it, managing to wrap it around Koyuki's, but due to the air breaking the chain. 

"Shit" said the Uzumaki seeing how his plan didn't work, each moment was getting worse than the last, the Hanyou looked towards where the falling woman was who was trying uselessly to reach him with a face of pure terror. 

Back to the situation, Koyuki was terrified, she didn't know what to do, and despair and regret began to flood her head. 

' What do I do? I don't want it to end like this,' thought the Kazahana desperately, thinking of the snow village, of Sandayu, of her father. ' I'm sorry, I'm sorry I couldn't make you carry everything, I should have been there for all of you, ' thought Koyuki in pain. With a sad look, I look at the red-haired Ninja. 

' Naruto-kun, there was something I wanted to say, ' she said, bringing a hand to her heart and giving a dejected look, accepting her fate. ' But I think I'll have to wait until I meet you in the afterlife to tell you, ' the Snow Princess thought sadly and on the verge of tears. 

Only for something to catch his attention, flying towards them. It was Fabuki flying up as she managed to catch Koyuki as she flew a bit higher until Naruto noticed the engine failing. Naruto, realizing it wouldn't hold on much longer, activated his diamond as lines started to move through his body. As he fell at a greater speed just as the engine failed, both Koyuki and Fabuki looked shocked. 

'I don't want to die yet. Being unloved without anyone.' thought Fabuki. As they closed their eyes. Only for the next moment, for both to open them as warmth spread through their bodies. Their eyes widen as they can see themselves floating. "How?" Asked Fabuki.

"How are we floating?" said Koyuki. "Not the moment we still need to finish your uncle Fabuki-chan, go ahead and finish the raid on the castle," said Naruto as Fabuki nodded a blush present as Koyuki felt her chest tighten ever so slightly.

After taking a breath, Koyuki took Naruto's hand, and they both headed towards the area where the tyrant had gone. 

Naruto and Koyuki arrived at an area below the top of the mountain where several crystal pillars could be seen. In simple words, it was an impressive view where you could see large structures that, with the few rays of sunlight, drew different colors. 

Koyuki and Naruto watched as Doto stood in front of a huge crystal pillar, the man looking like he had only arrived moments before them. 

"Isn't it beautiful?" Doto said to his two companions, who stared at the man. "Who could say that behind this simple structure lies the key to shaping the 5 nations to my liking?" Doto said as he took the crystal in his hands and headed toward a small crack in the ice pillar. 

Koyuki started running until she was grabbed by the arm by Naruto. 

"What are you doing? Should we stop him before he activates it?" Koyuki said, but Naruto didn't let go. 

"Koyuki-chan," said Naruto, making the woman stop and look him in the eyes "Do you think your father would build some kind of machine of mass destruction" questioned Naruto which made the woman shake her head "Then we have to observe" she said while Doto embedded the crystal in the slot. 

"Be honored for you will be the first to die by the ultimate weapon, the weapon that will destroy those who oppose my word, THE WEAPON WITH WHICH I WILL RULE THE FIVE ELEMENTAL NATIONS!!" shouted the Snow Tyrant and raised his hands to the sky, at that moment the whole place began to shake. 

At that, the crystal pillars, except for the one in the slot, began to divide so that they began to move. The crystals moved until they arranged themselves into a large structure with the faces of the crystals that concentrated the little light that was generated in a point on the mountain. 

Little by little, the ice began to melt until a sound of gears moving was heard; at that, all the ice on the top of the mountain began to melt, revealing a huge machine, which made Koyuki smile when she recognized it from one of her father's projects. 

"A heat generator" Koyuki said in a low voice so that her smile grew more when she saw that the top of other mountains the ice was beginning to melt and they showed the same machine "They are heat generators, it is a project that my father had once worked on" said the black-haired girl while taking Naruto's hand out of excitement. 

"Looks like your father found a way to bring spring to the Snow Village," Naruto said with a smile as he looked at the princess, who could barely contain her happiness. 

"Generators" both heard Doto's voice, so they turned to find the man clenching his fists and punching the ground in frustration. "Everything I worked for and this is what I get!! Damn hot air machines!!" Doto roared as he continued beating the ground in frustration. Koyuki took a few steps forward and looked at her uncle. 

"It seems that you were the one who didn't know my father, dear uncle," the younger Kazahana said with a mocking voice at the end, making Doto look at her furiously, who rushed to attack the princess only to receive a strong blow to the chest that destroyed his armor in that part and had sent him back. Doto stood up to see Naruto standing in front of him with a dark sword in his hand. 

"I'll carry out the orders of the new Daimyo of the Snow Country, I will be the one to end your miserable existence" said Naruto looking at the man who looked back at him, the snow tyrant gave a furious look to the leaf shinobi who had ruined his plans and killed his men. 

"DAMN BASTARD!!!" the man roared angrily as he lunged to try and hit the Hanyou, who only dodged the slow and predictable blows that Doto was throwing at him "I'LL KILL YOU AND HER!! I'LL KILL YOU ALL, DAMN BASTARDS!!" the older Kazahana shouted as he threw another punch at Naruto who ducked to send a combo of blows to the stomach and face that made him retreat. 

"Fire Doto" said Naruto while imbuing his sword with Katon chakra which gave it an intimidating effect that scared Doto who took a step back "Enjoy an eternity of torture as Shinigami's toy" declared Naruto his eyes turning different colors one turned Black with a golden slit a thin golden ring with golden beams that looked like the sun three golden Tomos. While his other eye was crimson red with black tomos, they had an eerie glow.

That was Doto's breaking point as he began to run, turning his back on Naruto, who smiled and, kneeling a little, placed the sword as if it were sheathed.

"Dance of the Sun: Hell's call," said Naruto, appearing in front of Doto. The last thing he saw were bright flames that briefly overshadowed those of the sun. 

"NNNNOOOOOOOOO" was the last thing Doto said before his whole body slowly began to shatter into ash. Koyuki saw how her uncle had disappeared forever from this world, which made her release the breath she didn't know she was holding. 

Feeling a weight lifted from her back as she looked forward again, the princess could see Naruto begin to approach him, until they were face to face. 

"What is this father?", both Naruto and Koyuki heard a girl's voice, both looked for the source of the voice until they saw that the only glass mirror that had not moved showed two figures, one was a man who looked a bit like Doto, but was shorter and wore glasses. 

The other figure was a girl who had her dark blue hair in two braids and was wearing a pink noble dress. Both figures were in front of the crystal. Naruto immediately recognized the man as Soutetsu Kazahana, Koyuki's father. 

Naruto looked at the princess, who had a few tears on her face, not wanting to say anything, the Uzumaki just took the woman's hand, Koyuki, feeling the Hanyou's hand squeezed it while letting a few tears fall. 

"It's a small project I'm working on, with it you'll be able to see through time, and it might even bring spring to our village," said the former daimyo, making the girl open her eyes in surprise. 

"That's amazing, but how does it work and when will I see it?" the girl asked, causing the man to laugh a little and place his hand on his daughter's head, which got a small laugh from Koyuki, both the girl and the adult. 

"Maybe when you're the new Daimyo, Koyuki-chan," Soutetsu said to his daughter. 

"By the way, Tou-san," said the girl, making her father look at her. "What is spring?" asked little Koyuki. 

"It's true, you haven't visited her yet," said Koyuki's father as he looked at his daughter and smiled at her. "How about when we get back to the castle, I'll tell you about it?" said the former Daimyo, earning a nod from his daughter. Both father and daughter held hands and began to walk away. 

Which his father looked at again. "Eto, Dad, what if I want to do something other than being the Daimyo?" little Koyuki asked the former Daimyo. 

"Well, that wouldn't be a problem," said the man, making the girl smile. "Do you have something in mind?" asked the man, making the girl nod to the question. "May I know what it is?" said Koyuki's father, making the girl look at him with excitement. 

"I want to be an actress," the little girl said, causing a look of surprise to appear on the former daimyo's face, only for a smile to appear on his face. 

"In that case, I would like to be the first to see how you act," said Koyuki's father, earning a nod from the girl version of Koyuki. The next second, the crystal returned to normal, causing the image to disappear. 

Naruto felt Koyuki hug him as tears began to flow from her eyes. 

"Thank you, thank you," said the snow princess in a calm voice while Naruto caressed her head. Koyuki, feeling the caresses, snuggled further into the Hanyou's chest. 

"You're welcome," said Naruto. Koyuki opened her eyes, which had a look full of kindness and love, and looked at the Uzumaki, who was also looking at her. 

As they stared at each other, they began to close the distance between them and before, as they closed their eyes, a ray of light bounced off the glass so that it reflected all over the place, bathing the environment in various colors, so that in the next second the princess and the shinobi joined in a simple, but pure kiss. 

They released all their emotions and feelings for each other at the same time, both of them separated and put their foreheads together, while both shared smiles of authentic and pure happiness. 

"And cut!" said a voice that made both the Kazahana and the Uzumaki open their eyes and separate. 

Only to look to the side, where both could notice how the filming group, along with Sandayu and the rest of Team 7, were watching the scene, Koyuki and Naruto said nothing as they looked at the people who had appeared. 

Which also didn't say anything. 

"This is going to be an instant hit!" shouted the director, the only one who could say anything at that particular moment. Soon after, Fabuki started to catch up with Koyuki, both having to talk about a certain blonde.

Five Days Later

It had been nearly a week since the fall of Doto, the tyrant ruler of Yuki no Kuni, and the ascension of Koyuki Kazahana to the throne. Word had spread like a wildfire across the country, which had led the citizens across the country to hold massive celebrations in honor of the princess. During that time, the princess and her childhood friend had sat down and talked in great detail with Naruto and Sakura in private away from any prying ears about the blunette's relationship with the young hanyou.

During their talks, Naruto had explained everything to Koyuki. From his earlier years in the village, to his first meeting with the Shinigami, and how he became a hanyou through a deal, which surprised them that he was a servant to the god of death. 

When Koyuki had inquired about Sakura and by extension, the blonde's other mates, the pinkette had simply smiled and showed her the mate mark on the base of her neck. Explaining that she had agreed to be one of his mates after she had her eyes opened about her former crush after their missing in Nami no Kuni. Much to her embarrassment for her past actions, the pinkette had confessed to at one point being a fan girl of the brooding emo. Though when asked if Sakura had any regrets in becoming a hanyou, the pinkette merely shook her head and smiled. Citing that she would easily make the same choice if given the option to go back in time and change things.

After receiving a detailed explanation of the positives and negatives of being a hanyou, Koyuki had insisted upon being marked as one of the blonde's mates. Once again, Naruto had reminded her that this would be a lifetime bond that would last centuries, if not more. While Fabuki, who had been listening to everything, wasn't sure about it and asked the blonde for some time wanting to think about it, suggesting some dates to spend some time with him since she hardly knew him. 

The princess was another deal; she made a small jest that she would be able to take care of her people and ensure the travesties that her uncle had committed would not befall her people once more. With Sakura as their witness, Naruto marked Koyuki as his mate. The blonde and princess share a passionate kiss afterwards, making the pinkette feel a little jealous of being left out. Giving a slight pout, only to earn a kiss from Naruto.

"You'll be staying until the movie finishes, right?" asked Fabuki. "That was our original mission, so yes," said Sakura with a knowing smile. 

Naruto was grumbling about his payback on Kakashi for making him accept the damn job.

A few days later

Koyuki smiled lovingly as she looked down at the blonde who was currently transformed beneath her. Arching her back in pleasure as she moved her hips back and forth, giving the blonde beneath her a good view of her ample chest in all its glory, as sweat glistened on her exposed skin. Giving her a more angelic look. Reaching up, Naruto gently guided his angel back down to him, capturing her lips with his own, eliciting a pleasure-filled moan from the young princess. Breaking the kiss, she smiled as she gazed into his eyes, a glazed look of lust shone within her violet-blue eyes.

 

"And cut! That's a wrap!" The director yelled, earning a round of cheers and applause from the entire film crew as they had finally filmed the last scene for the movie. All that was left now was the post editing and such.

 

Smiling, Koyuki leaned back up and draped the blanket around her so that the rest of the film crew didn't see her body. Though not moving from her position on top of her blonde mate. Before doing the scene, the princess/actress had insisted that the camera be set up in a way that it only showed her back. Allowing only Naruto to see her bare chest.

"Hmmp, it should be me I'd show her what it meant to do it with a Uchiha," said Sasuke, his eyes glaring at Naruto as he balled his fist.

"With a tiny dick like your I'd doubt you would make it past 3 seconds or is it that you swing the other way" said Sakura giggling as Sasuke glared at her ready to attack but Kakashi stopped it. "That's enough, Sasuke," said Kakashi, looking at Sasuke. "And, Sakura, stop teasing Sasuke, we never know if it might be real." 

Sasuke glared now at Kakashi for his insinuation that he was gay, HIM and UCHIHA, it would be his family's shame, deciding to stomp away angrily. As Koyuki and Naruto appeared, having dropped their transformation. "What are you guys talking about?" said Naruto. "Oh, nothing, just how Sasuke might swing for the other side," said Sakura, giggling. "Oh well, then want to get something to eat?" asked Naruto, looking at Sakura and Kakashi. "I already ate, Naruto, you guys go ahead, I'll be in my room since we are almost finished with the movie, I'll be packing my things," he said before leaving with a giggle.

"Actually." She whispered, just loud enough for the two to hear her. "I would like to continue this scene." Sakura nodded but felt a pang of Jealousy. She had been with Naruto longer and had yet to do it, with Naruto insisting that she do it when she was ready. Yet he was happy with her and showed it in many ways, making Sakura doubt if she deserved it. But Naruto, noticing her mood, made a clone. As he grabbed her and they vanished.

Lemon Warning 

"Are you sure about this, Koyuki-hime?" Naruto asked, bringing his hand up to tenderly cup her cheek. Prompting her to lean into it. "I am Naruto-kun." She smiled as she leaned in once more and kissed him deeply. One of which he eagerly returned. "It's time to give him the reward you deserve for saving us all, Naruto-kun," said Koyuki, who was wearing a set of blue chlorine underwear, which matched her hair. Koyuki approached the redhead, swaying her hips, attracting the Uzumaki's attention, which made her smile. 

Not to be outdone, Naruto took off his clothes to stay in his boxers, while he smiled back at the snow princess, who admired his well-worked physique. When they were in front of each other, they both kissed. 

Both the blue-haired girl and the Hanyou were melting into a kiss, where each one was fighting to dominate the other. They both fell on the bed with Naruto on top of Koyuki, while they both continued kissing. 

Both separated due to the lack of air, leaving the princess with a small gasp, but Koyuki moaned again when she felt the redhead's hands on her, which began to run over and caress the Daimio's breasts through the fabric of her bra, which drew some muffled moans from the blue-haired girl who tried to contain it by biting her lower lip. 

Both began to sink deeper and deeper into lust due to the heat they were both feeling. The jinchuriki, using both hands, tore the bra, freeing the woman's breasts, which surprised Koyuki, who saw how the daughter's shinobi began to knead her breasts, causing her pink nipples to harden under Naruto's caresses. 

"AAAHH~, Naruto-kun~~!!" Koyuki moaned as she felt the Jinchuriki's firm and hard hands, who began to suck the woman's left breast, drawing several moans from her as she felt the Uzumaki's tongue brush against the tip of her weight, sending an almost orgasmic sensation to the ruler of the snows. 

While with his right hand he squeezed the other nipple increasing the sensation and causing Koyuki's panties to start to get wet, Naruto sent his right hand inside the woman's panties "Wow, you are eager for this, KO-YU-KI-CHAN" said Naruto feeling the wetness on Koyuki's bottom who blushed at those words. 

Naruto broke the blue embers and could see a speck of hair and a light trail of the Kazahana's juices sliding down the actress's legs, which made him smile. 

Koyuki not wanting to be left behind managed to move to position herself in front of the Uzumaki's crotch who had a front row view to see her wet panties, Koyuki could see the tent in the Uzumaki's boxers and taking them off masterfully she could only open her eyes in surprise when she saw the almost 10 and a half inch meat stick in front of her face. 

' Oh Kami, that's real,' Koyuki thought as she began to use one of her hands to start masturbating the redhead, who let out a moan at the woman's touch. Koyuki brought her face closer to the tip to begin licking it, and soon after, put it inside her mouth, taking about five inches. 

The redhead began to lick the princess's vagina, which was overflowing with juices which he began to lick with his tongue, while with a free hand he played with the princess's clitoris, who moaned as she began to move up and down trying to swallow the entire length of her lover, managing to swallow about 8 inches. 

The redhead began to move his tongue more intensely inside the blue-haired girl who began to go faster trying to make the Hanyou cum, but after a few minutes she felt how she was reaching her limit, which was the same case of the redhead who felt how the princess continued to swallow his member. 

Koyuki felt Naruto's penis tense and then felt a large amount of semen explode inside her mouth, at the same time letting her juices out on the redhead's face who still had his tongue inside the Daimyo, Koyuki did her best to swallow as much as possible, but even so a little of the redhead's semen escaped from her mouth, the Kazahana released the Uzumaki's penis after cleaning it as best as possible. 

The Uzumaki wiped some of the woman's cum with one hand and then licked it. 

"MMM, you taste delicious, Koyuki-chan." After that, Naruto placed the actress on her back on the bed and placed himself on top of her. Hanyou admired the figure of the woman who was catching her breath. 

"Ready for this, Koyuki-chan" Asked the redhead, while Koyuki saw how Naruto's penis was still hard as a rock and was a few centimeters away from entering her and the two of them becoming one. 

"Please be gentle... it's my first time" said the actress surprising the Hanyou, but he quickly got over it to kiss her, and place his member at the entrance of the actress who let out a stifled gasp in the kiss, Naruto broke the kiss and looked at the woman who placed her hand on the Uzumaki's cheek. 

"Understood Daimio-sama" said Naruto taking the Daimio's hand and interlacing his fingers, looking at her he saw how Koyuki had a mixture of love and lust that made him even more excited and then he began to slowly insert his penis into Koyuki's vagina. 

"AAHHHH~!" were the screams of Koyuki, who arched her back as she felt her walls being opened little by little, until she reached a barrier that made her tighten the grip on her hand., Koyuki just nodded with her eyes closed. 

"AAAAHAHAAH~!!!" Koyuki let out a scream as she felt Naruto break her hymen, letting a few drops of blood fall onto the bed. The redhead began to move slightly so that the Daimyo could get used to the new sensation. At first, Koyuki only felt pain, but little by little, the pain Koyuki felt was replaced by pleasure little by little. 

"Ah~!! YES, faster Naruto-kun, don't Ah~ stop!!" Koyuki said as she wrapped her arms around the Uzumaki's neck as he continued entering and hitting the woman's womb, who began to let out several moans. Bringing her legs to his shoulders Naruto began to enter deeper, causing Koyuki to stick out her tongue and her eyes to look up, feeling the redhead stretching her vagina. 

"Don't stop Ah~"!!, more Ah~ push harder Ah~ split me in half, Naruto-kun" Koyuki moaned. Naruto took her by the hips to push harder. "Then no AAH~ I'm going to hold back," said Naruto, slightly lifting the blue-haired girl to begin entering them more, going up and down with quite a bit of energy. 

"I-I'm cumming, I'm cumming Naruto-kun" she said as she felt the redhead increase the speed and intensity of his thrusts, while she gripped the sheets tightly. 

"I'm cumming too - Koyuki-chan" he said as he felt himself getting close to his limit, giving the last thrusts the redhead gave one last thrust that made Koyuki arch her back "AAAAAHHHHH~" they both screamed and at the same time they both released their cum. 

Koyuki's mind went blank as she felt herself climaxing while her tongue was hanging out of her mouth and her eyes were in the back of her head, Naruto fell beside her as he could hear the blue haired girl's moans/pants, the redhead pulled his penis out of the Daimyo's vagina and settled next to her. 

After a few minutes, Koyuki managed to catch her breath and looked at her lover. "T-That was amazing, N-Naruto-kun," said Koyuki, still catching her breath as she felt the redhead hug her. "I wish you could stay so you could help me make the movies," Koyuki settling on the Uzumaki's shoulder. 

"You don't have to worry about that" Naruto said looking at her "The scroll with the seal that he gave to Sandayu can create clones of me that will help you in everything you need" he said so that in Koyuki's mind some not very saintly ideas began to form, which made her blush quite a bit. 

"Besides, we have to take advantage of this night, don't you Koyuki" said Naruto making the blue haired girl look down and see the Hanyou's shaft still on the warpath which made her smile "And the night is still young" said the redhead to see how the blue haired girl settled on top of him, where she placed him with his back on the bed and her on top of him. She settled herself with her legs still trembling as the Uzumaki's cock was at the entrance of her vagina. 

"Now, Naruto Uzumaki, it's time for you to show your loyalty to the new Daimyo," Koyuki said with a sensual voice that brought a smile to the redhead, while she inserted the Uzumaki's cock into her pussy. "Your wish is your command, Koyuki-sama," Naruto said as he placed his hands on the Kazahana's hips and began to move, causing Koyuki to kiss him as he continued to enter and exit her. 

Nearly an hour had passed as the two lay there. Naruto couldn't help but smile as he gazed down at the sleeping form of the princess. Gently, combing his lover's hair. Though he knew he should get her someplace more private. Knowing the last thing either of them needed was for some curious stagehand to walk in on them. Gently, he picked her up and shifted her into a bridal position before melting into the shadows.

Within the blink of an eye, the two arrived in the princess's private quarters. Walking over to the bed, Naruto summoned a shadow clone to prepare the bed before he set the sleeping princess down to allow her to sleep. However, before he could pull back to leave, she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him into bed with her.

 "Stay." She murmured, half asleep, smiling, Naruto complied. 

Change of Pov 

Fubuki never considered herself a girly girl. Always focusing more on her training as a kunoichi, instead of obsessing over her looks to catch the eyes of boys in her class. While the other girls were fussing over their hair and makeup, she was out improving her hyoton jutsus. When the rest of the girls in her class were spending their weekends at spas and salons, she would be in the training field practicing her taijutsu. So why now was her face doing a perfect impersonation of a tomato?

Because her hand was firmly being held by the blonde shinobi who had all but single-handedly saved her country and restored its rightful ruler to her throne."Are you okay, Fubuki-chan?" Naruto inquired about his impromptu date as he noticed the heavy blush on her face. Mentally chuckling a bit at the contrast of the fierce kunoichi and her right now, even though they had talked about everything that had happened, with Naruto giving more detail about his life. 

With both their lives being very similar, their bond increased rapidly as they hung out and talked, making the Uchiha jealous he had another, making him rant to Kakashi while the latter ignored him and gave a thumbs up to Naruto while wiping a tear, muttering 'they grow up so fast.' 

To add to the pinkette's embarrassment, Koyuki (who knew she was going on a date with Naruto) had insisted she wear something other than her typical battle-ready gear. Gone was her chakra armor set up and hooded coat; instead, she wore an elegant kimono, showing off her figure more than she would have liked. Even her wild hair had been done up in braided loops. The only piece of attire from her old outfit she had been allowed to wear was her hitai-ate, which now hung loosely around her neck. "I'm fine." She replied rather quickly. 'I swear, Daimyo or not, I am going to get Koyuki back for this.'

"If you say so." The blonde chuckled, causing the pink-haired snow shinobi to scowl. Though the scowl softened when he gave her hand a reassuring squeeze. "So, how about we kick off this date with a simple lunch?"

"Fine." Fubuki relented, though with a small smile tugging at her lips. "There is a good restaurant just a few blocks away."

 Nodding, the blonde hanyou led his date through the bustling streets of now-named Harugakure, formerly known as Yukigakure, due to the heat generator bringing spring to the country. Though after a bit of debate, it was decided that Koyuki would only have the generator on for six months out of the year, so as not to hurt local businesses and trades. Not to mention, allowing the citizens to become more acclimated to the new weather patterns brought on by the heat generator.

After walking for nearly twenty minutes, the duo arrived at their destination. A quaint-looking cafe nestled in between two large buildings, making it easy to overlook if one was not paying attention. Entering the establishment, the two were immediately hit with the scent of freshly baked pastries, along with a mixture of various coffees, tea, and chocolate permeating the air.

"Smells good in here," Naruto commented. Kurama added a wonderful comment on the place and a certain taste. "It does." Fubuki smiles as the two sit down at a vacant table in the corner that has a chair on one side and a bench seat on the other, near the wall. "This was my parents' favorite place to relax. I'm glad it survived Doto-teme's reign."

A twinge of sorrow washed across her face at the memories of her parents. Seeing this, even though they'd talked about Naruto, knowing some topics were still sensitive decided not to pry, but seeing her right now, he reached over the small table and reassuringly squeezed her hand to comfort her. Receiving a small smile from the pinkette at the gesture. Just before anything could be said, a waiter had arrived to take their orders. Fubuki had gone with a sweet roll filled with chocolate, and a mug of hot chocolate, while Naruto had gone with a simple hot strawberry and vanilla tea, with small baked rolls filled with cream cheese.

"Would you like to tell me about them?" Naruto inquired. "My father was a doctor, probably one of the best in the hospital where he worked. He could diagnose what was wrong at a glance. Taking his job very seriously." She began with a soft smile as she recalled her parents."And your mother?" he asked. "She was a no-nonsense kunoichi." The pinkette replied. "She took her career very seriously and trained hard, made sure I didn't become one of those useless fan girls that obsessed over looks when I began the academy."

"Something tells me there is a funny story as to how they met." Naruto grinned as he speculated that something, no doubt embarrassing for one of her parents, had happened to get them to meet one another.

"Well." Fubuki couldn't help but giggle slightly. "From what I was told, my mother had been training with her teammates when one of them accidentally set off an explosive tag next to where they had set their training kunai. As a result, when it went off, one of the kunai got impaled into my mother's rear."

"And as chance would have it, my father was the only doctor on duty at the time." The pinkette continued. "Usually, with such an injury in a sensitive area, a female doctor would administer the treatment. But with no other female doctor on call, my father was forced to treat her."

"So, I am assuming that your father asked her out on a date shortly afterwards?" Naruto ventured. Taking a sip from his tea that had arrived, along with their other orders, while Fubuki was reminiscing about her parents.

"Actually, from what my mother told me, she demanded that he take her on a date." She chuckled, taking a drink from her hot chocolate. "While she was grateful that he didn't even chuckle at her predicament, her pride demanded that he treat her to dinner for seeing her in such an embarrassing state."

"Sounds like a book-worthy meeting." The blonde commented, prompting the pinkette to giggle once more."I just wish I could have saved them." She sighed, gaining a distant look in her eyes. Seeing this, Naruto moved out of his seat and sat down on the bench and bringing her into a firm hug as he rubbed his hand along her back in a comforting manner. Allowing her to bury her head into his chest as tears fell freely from her eyes at the memory of her parents.

"They loved you a lot." He finally spoke softly into her ear. "They knew what kind of bastard Doto-teme was, and they were prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice to ensure you lived to see a better future for this country." Gently lifting his hands to her face, he softly positioned her head to look him in the eye as he wiped away her tears with his thumb.

"And now look around you." He smiled softly at her. "With your information, we were able to remove Doto-teme from the throne and restore Koyuki-hime to her birthright, and freed this country. You made this possible."

To punctuate his words, he lightly kissed her forehead, causing the poor girl to blush up a storm."Thank you, Naruto-kun." She smiled, likewise wanting to truly get to know him and having been hesitant to ask about his parents, but since she was sharing, she decided to take a chance. "What about your parents?"

"Well." The blonde frowned slightly. "Both died the night I was born. My mother died to protect me, while my father… my father died trying to make me into a weapon for the village when he sealed the Kyuubi inside of me."

At this, Fubuki's eyes widened in shock. With a small sigh, Naruto began to tell her the story of his life thus far. Finding out his father had intended to have him conditioned to be a mindless weapon for those who were power hungry within the village, and how he avoided such a future with the help of his precious few people. Namely, Kakashi, the person he viewed as his older brother, his Hebi-hime, Anko, and his Queen of Blades, Yugao.

After a bit of hesitation, she looked at Naruto. "C-could you mark me as well?" she stuttered out. "I-i think I'm ready for it," her voice began to gain courage."Are you sure you want me to?" The blonde asked in a serious tone. "Like I said, this would be a lifetime bond spanning hundreds of years, if not more."

He received his answer in the form of a deep kiss initiated by the pink-haired kunoichi. Probing his lower lip with her tongue, begging for entrance. Which he allowed, as he returned her kiss. Letting his tongue battle hers for dominance. After a few seconds, the couple broke the kiss, with Naruto smiling at the now flustered Fubuki.

"Very well." He smiled before turning his attention towards the waitress and requesting the check. Paying the tab and leaving a nice tip, he got up and held out his hand towards the pinkette, who took it. Allowing him to help her to her feet, before being led out of the small cafe, "I'll let the real me do it. That's the most ideal, don't you think?" he said with a smile. "Fabuki blushed but nodded. 

A few minutes later, the real Naruto appeared, and both felt excited and nervous at the same time. Without hesitating, she wrapped her arm around his in an affectionate manner, as she leaned her head on his shoulder.

After walking around for another twenty minutes, the two found themselves alone in the middle of a spacious park, full of sakura trees and various other foliage that was coming to life with the arrival of spring in the country. Giving it a beautiful setting. Smiling softly, he turned towards his pink-haired date, bringing her in close as he wrapped his arms around her waist, prompting her to return his embrace.

"Are you ready, Fubuki-hime?" he asked. Receiving a nod in confirmation, he watched as the young woman closed her eyes. Leaning in, he bit down on her shoulder, causing her to gasp slightly as he began to pump his hanyou chakra into her. Out of instinct, she bit down on his shoulder as well. Allowing their chakras to mix and, in the process, accepting his mark. After a handful of seconds, they released each other.
