In the field….

Naruto was currently working on the next step of his training with Kakashi, using the same Kage Bushin technique as they spared with one another and Kakashi was guiding him on some new Taijutsu moves which he could incorporate into his training, and right beside him, his Kage Bushin and Kakashi was Sakura and Sasuke. Sakura was watching in great attention while Sasuke merely looked on.

The Uchiha had been able t see the training method and when he found out that Naruto was training in the art of using one's Nature Affinity chakra, he was not happy, despite Naruto's powers, and that new move that he called the Rasengan, he had banked on the fact that he had both the Sharingan and the Chidori in his arsenal, but now that Naruto was revealed to be a Wind Chakra user and was using a very effective and potentially powerful technique to become stronger, the Uchiha youth was not in the best of moods.

He made that plain enough to Kakashi one night when they were on patrol.

--------

Flashback…

As they did their rounds, Sasuke turned and spoke to Kakashi.

“Hey Kakashi, why the heck is Naruto learning Elemental chakra?”

The Jonin turned and replied.

“I made a promise to him to help make him stronger Sasuke-kun and now that the time is right, and the situation demands it, I have to keep my end of the bargain.”

“So why is he training with Kage Bushin?”

Kakashi then told me about the secret behind the use of Kage Bushin and Sasuke was shocked to hear about this, with that training method he could be able to learn even more techniques to finally have enough ability to be stronger than he was before, the idea of it was so interesting that he grinned at the thought and spoke to Kakashi.

“Then I will use that technique to improve myself as well.”

“No, you are not Sasuke.”

“What is that supposed to mean?”

“Naruto is the only one to be able to use that method of training Sasuke, neither you or Sakura can do it, only he can.”

“Why him?”

“Because he has the chakra needed for the training to work effectively Sasuke. You no doubt are aware of this, but the Kage Bushin No Jutsu is an A-Rank Justus for a reason, as you know of it's need to have the user divide a portion of chakra to make proper Kage Bushin means that most ninja, even myself or the Kage are limited in the making of numerous Kage Bushin because we would severely deplete out chakra, even I would never dare to use it to train myself. Neither you nor Sakura have the chakra needed to maintain that many Kage Bushin, only Naruto does.”

Sasuke could see that the Jonin was not lying at all and the thought of this method being beyond him made him clench his fists even more.

--------

End of Flashback…

Sasuke unclenched his fist and took a deep breath and expelled it out and tried to remain calm as best he could. He recalled Naruto's words about him not intervening if he went after Itachi again, but he also recalled the words Itachi spoke to him back in the inn…about Naruto being better than him and the power in his team-mate being more worthy of his time than him.

(Damn it all….I will beat you yet brother, I swear it.)

Sasuke looked away and decided to busy himself with other matters for the time being, he wanted to avoid looking at them as he felt even more anger. It made him feel even more inferior, it was bad enough that Naruto had this power that his own brother considered worth more than him, then to see him grow even stronger than him by being trained by many people, and lastly, being a Dragon Champion and wielding great powers as well as those which he already had.

Sasuke gritted his teeth and felt another bolt of anger and jealousy rip through his body at the thoughts that flooded his mind. It became a very serious thing for him to deal with and thus he went off to do something to get his mind off his thoughts, all he could think of now was how to defeat Itachi and gain more power in order to do so….but yet, he couldn't do it….because the one who he had once called a dead last idiot was surpassing him in every way and it was painful to admit and humiliating as well.

It was then that he turned to see the rest of the crew getting ready for another shot for one part of the film with the villains plotting a counter attack on the heroes that were currently resting on their journey to reach their target in the script. This was getting on his nerves even more; he wished he would fight a much tougher foe so he could really be able to show that he was still able to face anyone on an even keel.

“Hey Sasuke-kun!”

Sasuke looked up and saw none other than Asuma, Ino, Shikamaru, and Chouji, apparently Asuma's team had arrived on time and they were eager to lend their aid to the coming fight, Sasuke snorted as he looked on at the group and when Asuma spoke in greeting he replied sourly.

“If you're looking for Kakashi, he's over there training the dobe in the Kage Bushin Training technique, now I have to go do my rounds.”

With that out of the

Shikamaru looked at the leaving form of Sasuke and he couldn't help but give a slight sigh.

“What the heck is eating him? He's gotten more anti-social for a reason.”

Ino gave Shikamaru a serious look and replied.

“Maybe Sasuke-kun's just having some bad things on his mind. Either way, we should go see just what Sasuke-kun said about Naruto-kun's new training method, this could be very cool to watch.”

Chouji and Shikamaru, as well as Asuma were surprised by Ino's behavior.

Normally she would have glomped onto Sasuke the first chance she got when she saw him and cared little if Sakura was going to notice, given the fact that both girls vied for his affections, now it seemed that Ino's obsession for Sasuke and even Sakura's own obsession for Sasuke seemed to have lessened. Asuma gave Ino a more intrigued look as well.

(Is it just me, or is Ino showing more interest in Naruto now? Not that I can blame her, considering how much Naruto has grown over the months after all that has happened, but still, this is highly unexpected.)

The same was in Shikamaru's mind as well.

(I was under the impression Ino would shout at me and defend Sasuke like she normally did before, but now she seems to be less interested in him and more in Naruto, not that I should mind, it's her business, but still, it's very unexpected.)

The team moved on and then Asuma commented as he witnessed the training session between Naruto and Kakashi as the Jonin continued to watch Naruto learn how to cut a leaf with his chakra by converting it into Wind and as far as Asuma could see in the massive sea of Kage Bushin, Naruto was having a tough time, but the blonde Chuunin was not planning to give up anytime soon as he continued to fight.

“So Naruto's using that method, suits him well considering his chakra reserve.”

“Why is Naruto using so many clones?”

Asuma looked at Ino and decided to explain.

“Naruto is using the Kage Bushin training technique Ino.”

“How can you use Bushin for training Asuma-sensei? I mean Naruto uses it all the time when he fights, so how can it be used for training?”

“Kage Bushin was designed as a recon technique, as the Kage Bushin can gather information and then when dispersed, the user gets the information that the Kage Bushin has gathered along the way. That is why it is a very powerful jutsu in the sense that when used in training, it can allow a ninja to learn any form of Ninjutsu, Genjutsu or Taijutsu in a much shorter time that if he or she did it normally.”

“Wow! Do you use that too?”

“No and neither does Kakashi, in fact no other Jonin or even a Kage uses Kage Bushin for training.”

Chouji and Ino were surprised at that as they had expected that Asuma used this technique to get stronger, and they also thought all other Jonin use that method, with the exception of Gai as he was never seen using any form of Genjutsu or Ninjutsu.

“Why not Asuma-sensei?”

“Because of the need to divide one's chakra, in order to make Kage Bushin, the user has to divide his or her chakra to make sure there is a decent supply for each Kage Bushin we make if we use that method. But doing so means that for every Kage Bushin a ninja makes, his or her own chakra reserve is dwindled and that limits the chakra available for any jutsu of any kind, thus that weakens the purpose of the training itself. And the fact that when the Kage Bushin is dispersed, it's not just the information that is passed on to the original ninja but...”

“But the mental and physical exhaustion of the Kage Bushin is passed on as well, right Asuma-sensei?”

Asuma nodded to Shikamaru and smiled.

“You are correct there Shikamaru, that is why Kage Bushin are not always used by even high level ninjas for this method of training unless they already have a very high reserve of chakra in themselves, and even then, the chance of being hit by the sheer mental and physical exhaustion of the combined Kage Bushin once they disperse is very tiring, but considering that Naruto's chakra is very large quantities, he can use this method of training just fine.”

As the others continued to watch the two ninja spar with one another in the training field, the blonde Chuunin was still trying his best to cut a leaf in half and the same could be said for the large number of Kage Bushin who were very much doing the very same thing as well and Kakashi was still observing the whole situation at the moment Naruto who was listening patiently to his Jonin sensei. There were some shouts of triumph from the Kage Bushin but they were very few in number and Naruto seemed all the more determined to succeed

As the training stopped for the day, the Kage Bushin dispersed and the leaves they each had and those fell to the ground, and Asuma looked at them and was surprised to see that while almost all of the gathered leaves didn't have that deep cuts in them, there were some that were cut. And that was impressive as Naruto had not been trained by a Wind chakra user like him. This meant that if Naruto got the training to master his Wind Chakra, then he would prove to be truly skilled ninja.

(Not bad….his progress might be slow to the casual observer, but to have made it this far using Kage Bushin and not know the secret to using Wind Chakra, he has managed to shorten his training exponentially, it took me a number of years to even come close to using my Wind chakra to the higher levels that I do now. This can prove to be a very interesting time to train Naruto-kun.)

Asuma approached Kakashi as the Jonin checked on his currently sleeping student who was exhausted from the training he was undergoing while still having Holy Talon on his back at the moment. The Jonin sensei of Shikamaru, Ino and Chouji walked to Kakashi and checked on the currently resting Naruto.

“How is he doing?”

“He's tired at the moment, but give him a few minutes of rest and he will be back at it once more, I nearly thought I would have to resort to using sleeping medicine or a sleeping jutsu to make him get some much needed sleep since he has to be playing the part of actor in the whole movie.”

Asuma looked at Kakashi with some surprise and the Jonin sensei of Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto explained what exactly happened on why Naruto was now an actor in the movie that Koyuki was staring in at this point and time and Asuma had to admit that the situation Naruto found himself in at the moment was certainly something that most young men would only dream of.

“Wow, Naruto's actually staring in a film? That will certainly get him noticed.”

Kakashi chuckled and replied to Asuma's words.

“You don't know the half of it Asuma, come on, he seems to be waking up.”

And sure enough, Naruto was already waking up and shaking his head, he was about to get back up and continue the training for a bit longer, until he spotted Asuma and then Ino, Shikamaru, and Chouji. Naruto gasped in great surprise at the sight before him at the moment as he was not expecting to be meeting any other ninja team, he knew that Kakashi was going to send the report of what they had learned to Tsunade back in Konoha, but he was not expecting support.

“Asuma-san, Ino, Shikamaru, Chouji, what are you all doing here?'

Asuma then explained just what he and his team were doing here.

“When Tsunade found out that Kagura was about in the attempt to kill Koyuki, she dispatched us to support you, and I was asked to help you learning how to use your Wind Chakra, since you and I are both Wind Users, I can teach you some of the basic methods, I saw the leaves and you are doing all right so far Naruto-kun.”

Naruto grinned at that praise and replied.

“I haven't split all the leaves yet Asuma-sensei.”

“True, but you are getting there at the very least, you already have the fundamental basics and with my help with the Kage Bushin, you can improve even more. But I think you need to get some much needed rest for the time being.”

“I guess.”

Naruto was allowed to get some rest for the day while Chouji decided to share with Naruto some food he had with him and even have him some Spring Bread, he had been given some before and he liked the bread that tasted very nice to him and figured Naruto could have some so he could get all his strength back. Naruto ate the bread and felt very much refreshed, but for now he had to begin his time as an actor as he was picked up by Koyuki who greeted Asuma and the others, Chouji was not that big a fan of Koyuki but considered her a very skilled actress and even Ino herself was happy to meet the princess of Spring Country and the famous actress who had made a very good number of movies for the past few years. Shikamaru also offered his greetings, keeping in mind that she was royalty after all.

As soon as that was out of the way, the new team were given some new quarters courtesy of Koyuki and then they were able to see the movie being played out by the actors and actresses as well as Koyuki and Naruto. Naruto admitted that he was still slightly uncomfortable with the idea of being an actor in the movie as well as Koyuki's body guard, but it was all right for him at the moment. Naruto however wondered just what was going on with the rest of the world at the moment, he had no doubt in his mind that Akatsuki would still be slinking about and Orochimaru was not going to be idle forever.

--------

In a hidden lair…

“So, what have you to report Itachi?”

Itachi looked at the forms of his gathered comrades in the organization of Akatsuki and both he and Kisame gave their reports on the matter.

“We have managed to track the Four tailed Jinchuuriki and his bijuu but he has not yet fully matured so extraction is not yet possible, and we have continued to search for the sword known as Death Fang as you have requested of us Pain-sama, but it seems that the sword does not wish to be found as easily as before.”

“I see…”

“Why take an interest in such a sword anyway? We are after the Jinchuuriki after all, why then should we deviate from the plan that we have already been able to do for the past many years?”

One of the Akatsuki members spoke, and this one seemed to be like a hunchback of some sort. The others were also seemingly in thought about the matter. Another then spoke as well, next to the hunchbacked member of the organization that Itachi and Kisame were part of.

“I must agree with Sasori-sama, this sword is not what we are hunting, so why bother with it?”

Kisame then replied.

“Because we found out that an old acquaintance of ours has a very vested interest in the weapon itself and if he gains that sword, it could very well be a great blow to our plans.”

“So….Orochimaru is very interested in acquiring this sword as well? Then that could be a problem. Is there no other trace of this weapon Itachi?”

“None that we know of Pain-sama, but from what I and Kisame have found, is that the place that shows it's possible location, feels dead somehow.”

“Dead?”

“Yes, when we first found the sword, the land before it's lair felt…barren, lifeless, almost as if the ground itself was stripped of all life, and there seems to be the stench of death itself in not just the land, but in the air itself. Then the very land is corrupted somehow, and there is no doubt that it's minions will guard their master well and will not hesitate to kill anyone unworthy in the eyes of their master.”

“Very well, the Jinchuuriki are not yet ready to be gathered, for now, this weapon could prove to be useful, once bent to our will and our mission, then we can truly rule this world.”

Itachi however had doubts in that, he had seen a portion of the mind of that evil sword, and while he was always calm and composed, he felt something run through his body at that memory of tapping into the mind of that sword, and that sensation was fear.

The memory of seeing the brutality the sword could do when without a master was very obvious in his memories, but seeing the utter bloodshed and carnage that Death Fang could accomplish once it was in the hands of the once chosen to be it's master….it made him even more worried. But after the time he had been able to hold the sword and it was able to read his mind, he doubted that it could be easily claimed.

As the meeting ended, he made sure to speak to Pain in private on the true nature of the sword, he had a feeling that even Pain would not be easily chosen by the sword. Pain listened intently and then made several commands to another figure and this one nodded and left in a flurry of paper.

--------

“Where are you going Orochimaru-sama?”

“To keep track of my prize.”

“But…you're arms.”

“I will heal them soon enough, now remain here and keep an eye on things for me.”

“Hai Orochimaru-sama.”

“Come Kabuto, we have work to do.”

“As you wish Orochimaru-sama.”

Days later…

Naruto and the others had moved to the next filming location and while the others were on routine patrol at the moment, he was busy playing actor and Koyuki had to admit that he was quick to learn the trade of acting at a much better pace than she did when she was his age, but she was not jealous, more of impressed and very happy with Naruto, he was always attentive and asked the right question as well as always asking for proper advice from her and that made things all the more interesting for her and the crew as well.

So far, Kagura and her compatriot ninja had not made any serious moves on them for some time but that certainly didn't mean that they were not going to try something when the time came so while Naruto remained close to Koyuki to protect her on and off the set, the others did most of their recon and defensive duty, Ino took control of a number of sharp eyed birds to track anything from the sky using her family Body Swapping Jutsu, while Shikamaru and Chouji did their part as well as Sasuke and Sakura did.

Asuma had begun to teach Naruto that in order to learn how to use his Wind Chakra properly, he had to imagine his chakra taking the form on a pair of blades meeting one another and cutting the object in between. To prove his point, Asuma explained the use of his trench knives which he had made from a special metal that uses his chakra. He tossed one of the knives without the chakra in a tree and it was buried deeply into the tree. Then he used the same knife but imbued his chakra into it and then to Naruto's surprise, Asuma's chakra enhanced trench knife tore through the tree and was buried deeply in the rock behind it, Naruto was impressed and Asuma replied that with ore training and expertise, Naruto could be able to make the knife go through not just the tree, but even through the rock itself all the way to the ground, that was why Wind Users were deadly fighters in mid to close range combat. Naruto smiled and began to use the training handed to him by Asuma while still using the same method of using his Kage Bushin.

It had taken quite a number of tries, not to mention the need for Naruto to play the part assigned to him as an actor Naruto had finally mastered the basics on how to properly use his Wind chakra and began to study some brand new moves in order to add to his arsenal of jutsu, and skills as well. So far he had to yet master some aspects of chakra training but for now he had some new moves that could prove to real assets in a fight when he needed them.

Asuma had to admit that with his now present knowledge of Wind based attacks and his formidable arsenal of abilities with Holy talon and his already Chuunin and somewhat Jonin level abilities, Naruto would grow up to be a very talented ninja. His maturity was also a nice change, instead of being dense as before, Naruto was more attentive and serious, and revealing his inner abilities more freely, shown though the use of Kage Bushin which both he and Kakashi had agreed was very advanced as Naruto began to be more tactical and cunning with the use of his Kage Bushin.

However, they knew that Naruto still had to learn how to part a waterfall using his Wind Chakra, but since now was not the time, they couldn't go that far, of course Kakashi had another person who he knew could prove to be very helpful for Naruto.

As the filming continued, Naruto was about to receive news on a very special part of the film, after filming a very powerful battle sequence in which he was supposedly injured in the fight, Naruto was eager for the part of the movie, however, he had no idea that the next scene incorporated a particular scene that requires him to do something to Koyuki.

--------

Naruto and the director as well as the other ninja teams were in a meeting and they were happy that so far, there had been no attacks towards the film crew as well as towards Koyuki, but the others were shocked when the director and Naruto were talking about the film and then the blonde gave a deep blush and quickly shouted.

“I HAVE TO DO WHAT?!”

As the others wondered just what was going on and Kakashi as well as Asuma walked over to the director and asked what was going on, the very second the director told the two Jonin was he told Naruto, both men were stunned and both looked at one another and when they walked back…Asuma was blushing bright red while Kakashi was scratching the back of his head while Naruto was still blushing bright red which began to pique the interest of just about everyone in the Konoha teams, with Sasuke being the first.

“Hey, what the heck is going on with you Naruto?”

“They…uh… want me to…”

“They want you to do what? Quit beating around the bush here.”

Naruto however was not saying anything else and seeing that his student was not going to say anything else and neither was Asuma, Kakashi decided to speak.

“The director said that they are about ready to shoot the scene described in the book that was based on the film, Naruto-kun and Koyuki-hime….have to do the deed for this film, this being an adult romance and action movie and all.”

The second that sunk into their minds, the others shouted.

“NARUTO HAS TO DO WHAT?!”

Sakura turned and looked about.

“Hey? Where is Naruto-kun?”

Chouji looked about and shook his head.

“I wish I knew, but I can bet he has a LOT to think about at the moment.”

For once Shikamaru smiled at that and the lazy friend of Naruto had to admit that he WAS a bit jealous of Naruto, but he was not going to say that out loud, there was no telling how the others would react to his words. The Nara clan heir than wondered jus what was going through the mind of his blonde Chuunin companion, he could bet that with what he had just been told, Naruto was no doubt trying to figure out a way to get out of this mess.

Ino herself was not very happy with the news as she looked at the set which was getting ready for the bed room scene, and she couldn't help but say her worry out loud.

“By Kami, I thought we were supposed to help Naruto-kun, Sasuke-kun, Kakashi-sensei, and Sakura deal with some renegade ninja who want the princess dead, not be witness to a darn pornographic movie….with Naruto-kun being in the starring role with said princess no less!”

Chouji then replied.

“We can always move away and not watch it after all Ino so you don't need to look right?”

Ino looked at Chouji helplessly; she was trying her best not to lose her cool at the thought of having someone who was a complete stranger to her having the chance to do the deed with Naruto, and in a movie no less. But she couldn't reveal to anyone, especially her sensei and her team-mates how far she and Naruto had gone.

Sakura was thinking the very same thing as well, when she found out that in the next scene, Naruto and Yukie had to do the bed room scene, she was utterly shocked and vowed to make Jiraiya pay for having to make the book and more besides, as well as her own sensei for putting Naruto in a situation like this, she wanted to say something but she knew she couldn't reveal to everyone that she and Ino, as well as other certain women.

However, they could only wait and see just what was Naruto's decision on the matter but Kakashi, being Naruto's Jonin sensei decided to go see just how he was holding up. He knew that something like this might happen at some point, but he was hoping that someone else would have to take his student's place. However, he decided to chat with Koyuki to see just what she had to say about this situation first, it was important to get the woman's take on the situation, therefore he would have some information to work with.

--------

In the trailer…

Naruto tried to calm himself and relax as he knew that the time had come for him to act one the one scene that he knew was going to get him deep into a world of trouble and exposure….and there was a big emphasis on the world exposure at that. He had no idea what to do or how the heck he got roped into this plan but there was no backing out now. He knew that this was going to happen since this WAS following one of the Pervy Sage's books, but why now of all times, not to mention that this was not what he had in mind when he was taking this mission.

It was then that Kakashi came into the trailer with a very serious and somewhat torn expression on his face, at least on the portion of his face that was not covered by his mask. The Jonin then spoke to his student.

“Are you ready for this Naruto?”

“Kakashi-sensei….we don't have to do this do we? I mean…”

“I know you feel very uncomfortable with the idea of doing this in public Naruto, but you are part of the cast now and this is a key part of the movie, not to mention that this is needed.”

“Is it really needed? I mean….won't Koyuki-hime be opposed to this thing, we're talking about her having to lose her….well…”

Kakashi had to admit that he was torn between feeling rather sorry for Naruto's sorry mental state, and also feeling very amused and interested to see how this situation would play itself out. As much as he wanted to assure Naruto that this was part of his job, he had to admit that the idea of doing the deed with a complete stranger was something most people would show some level of discomfort in doing, not to mention doing it in public. Of course, Naruto and Koyuki were not strangers to one another, they knew each other well, but the fact remained that Koyuki was and princess and was the one that Naruto was assigned to protecting. He himself had to admit that this was certainly unexpected and there was no doubt in the Jonin's mind that this was something Naruto was NOT prepared for. Besides, there was no doubt in the Jonin's mind that if ever the film was made public, Naruto would never know a moment's peace the very second his name which was no doubt going to be in the credits of the movie came out and things were going to get very hairy on other missions soon enough.

However, he did have a chat with Koyuki earlier and he had tried to find out how Koyuki felt about the whole thing, and what he learned was what really got him very much surprised him to the core.

“I had a chat with Koyuki-hime earlier….and you know what she said to me?”

“What?”

“She's all right with it, as long as you are.”

“Wait!! Are you pulling my leg Kakashi-sensei?! Koyuki-hime actually WANTS to lose her….”

Kakashi nodded and replied.

“Those were her exact words and she wants you to be the one to do it, and she's agreeing to taking some birth control to make sure that things don't get too complicated. I was surprised abut his myself, I actually suggested they get a double, but Koyuki insisted she wanted you.”

“W-Why me?”

Kakashi sighed and replied.

“I think that is a question you should ask her, not me, I'm not exactly the right person to be asking that sort of question.”

Naruto knew that Kakashi was right about that word, if he wanted to really know just how Koyuki felt about having him be the one to take her virginity, then he would have to go there to her and ask her directly, but he kept in mind that she was still a princess so he would have to be at his best behavior before her and try not to act like a complete idiot before her or say something that could be considered as insulting to the princess. He had to remain calm and try to find out just what were the princess' thoughts on the matter.

He was not going to have to leave the trailer as the door opened and in walked none other than Koyuki, the princess of Spring Country turned and smiled at the two of them and spoke gently to Kakashi.

“Kakashi-san, may I ask you to leave me and Naruto-kun alone for a while, there is something important that I need to discuss with him.”

Kakashi could tell that Koyuki was serious and he had to agree that now was not the best time for him to be here as this was going to be a very serious conversation between Naruto and Koyuki, and as much as he wanted to find out just what exactly was going on, he respected both Naruto and Koyuki to give them privacy they deserved for this moment, he might LOVE the Icha Icha paradise novels but even for their sake he was not going to court a princess' wrath, and considering Naruto's stellar growth, he needed to allow him to grow even more, and this time as a man and not just as a ninja.

Had Kakashi been aware of Naruto's recent escapades with a number of women from Konoha, he would have thought of things quite differently.

As the two were finally able to have some peace and quiet together, the princess looked at her ninja guardian and something of a crush as he blushed profusely at her and she could understand why he was acting this way towards her at the moment, but she knew that she needed to take the initiative in this matter, the thing at stake was not just the movie…but her feelings for the blonde Chuunin. In truth, she was not entirely happy with the idea of losing her virginity to just any person, she knew that there would be a number of men who would be more than happy to do the deed with her….but she was not that kind of person as she wanted her first time to be special, she knew that it would be impossible with the fact that she was an actress and this was an adult film, but when she recalled Naruto, she jumped at the chance to pick him for the role.

Now she had to convince Naruto to do it with her.

“Naruto-kun, are you all right?”

“Um….Koyuki-hime, do we really have to do that scene?”

“I believe so, but I wouldn't have it any other way Naruto-kun, but I want you to be willing to do this with me.”

“Why me? I mean….not that I am not honored or anything….it's just hard believe that you would want me….to be your first after all, even if this is a movie.”

“Because I want you….and not just because you are a good actor….because I do want you to do it with me. Or am I not your type?”

“NO! I think you are a very beautiful woman Koyuki-hime….if you really want this…

“I do, so what is your answer?”

--------

On the set…

Everyone was busy getting things ready for the more adult scene in the whole film, this was the scene where the critical battle was over and both the Princess and the one guard played by Naruto who she had fallen in love with finally have the time for themselves and get to know one another in a very intimate fashion. The stage was being set up and those who were not essential to the whole set were told to get outside as this was a major shot.

The director sighed as he watched the whole set getting ready for the scene, this was by far the most serious and also the most delicate part of the movie, as much as he wanted to make the movie perfect, he was still not sure about the acceptance of the two who were going to play a part in the movie, he knew that Koyuki was all right with the whole idea, but what of Naruto, the young man was central to the plot and scene and thus needed to be ready.

The man knew that what Naruto was about to do was something that most men would have some reservations over, but they would jump at the chance to do the deed with a famous actress and a princess as well. But Naruto was not that kind of person as he already knew, so he hoped that somehow, the blonde Chuunin would be willing to take the plunge so to speak.

He turned and in walked both Koyuki and Naruto, along with Kakashi and the other Konoha ninja as well as Asuma and both Chouji and Shikamaru were giving Naruto some very teasing looks while Sakura and Ino were giving Koyuki very intense glares, Sasuke was actually giving Naruto a slightly envious look, while Kakashi and Asuma were talking a bit.

As soon as the group stopped before the director, he decided to venture the question that he knew would embarrass Naruto to the end.

“Are you willing to do this Naruto?”

The blonde Chuunin looked at the director and Koyuki as well as the others who were waiting for his answer and he gave it. He knew he was never going to hear the end of this once he made his decision, and normally he would have turned it down, but for Koyuki's sake, he would, plus the fact that she had wanted this for a long time and he was the only one she wanted to do it with ever since getting the script for the film, he felt that he couldn't hurt Koyuki's feelings on the matter. As much as he knew he was going to get into some serious danger with this move and who knew how things were going to go back in Konoha….but there was no turning back now for him or her.

“I'll do it.”

The director gave a sigh of relief while Koyuki smiled even more, earning some very heated glares from Sakura and Ino, while both Shikamaru and Chouji nearly chocked on their tongues, Kakashi was actually blushing and Asuma was trying his best not to laugh, even Sasuke was blushing somewhat at what his blonde team-mate had just spouted out of his mouth.

“All right then, you have five minutes to get ready Naruto-san, so I suggest you relax and be ready.”

As things were getting underway, Koyuki bid the others farewell for now while she got ready for the scene, and that left Naruto alone and in the gun sights of all his companions as well as the Jonin. Asuma himself couldn't help but finally burst out laughing and even the normally cool headed and relaxed Kakashi was wearing a very wide grin on his face while having it hidden by his mask, Chouji and Shikamaru however were not content with just standing there as Shikamaru spoke.

“Are you absolutely serious about this Naruto? You realize that you've just agreed to take part in an adult movie right?”

Naruto shook his head and replied.

“I know that Shikamaru, but I have no choice, Koyuki-hime wanted me to do it….and well, I can't exactly go against the client.”

Shikamaru knew that Naruto had a point, with Koyuki as the client, and still very much in command of the situation, and the fact she was royalty, Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi would have to follow through with what she wanted. Still, the idea of being ordered to have sex in front of a camera in a film which was n doubt going to be seen in every theater in the whole world was certainly something he was happy that he was not going to be part of lest his parents were going to ride him hard, namely his dad of all people, and for some reason, he shuddered at the thought of what Meer might do to him, though why her opinion would matter to him so much was something that would escape him.

The others were also very much in shock at this turn of events, and both Sakura and Ino couldn't help but try to calm down and seeing that the film was soon going to start, both Jonin sensei decided to herd their respective students out of the area, leaving Naruto enough time to relax himself and as soon as it was time for them play their parts, the blonde Chuunin did the same as he took the position of being on the bed and Koyuki was there tending his supposed wounds. This was going to be the opening of it all.

As things got underway, Naruto could only hope that he didn't mess this up and decided to recall all the things he had learned since his first night and hoped it was enough.

(If you wish to read the lemon version of this story, then you where to go right?)

--------

The next day…

Naruto groaned as he got out of the trailer the next day and headed off to stretch his limbs, naturally, he was wearing his normal under garments and headed to a nearby fire pit and with practiced ease, got a fire going, no one else was awake and he sat down and looked at the flames in order to make some sense on how far his love life had gone since that scene…. and the following night in the trailer. He was thankful the trailer was sound proof, but he double layered it with a silence spell just in case.

As he sat there, he was greeted by a hug by the said princess/actress who kissed him on the neck and smiled at him as she sat next to him.

“Are you all right Naruto-kun?”

“I-I'm fine….just, trying to deal with the fact I just made…”

“Made love to a princess who is an actress in a movie? Yeah, I guess I can understand that part.”

“Koyuki-hime, I had no idea you were a virgin….and I'm sorry if I hurt you in any fashion.”

Koyuki gave Naruto a gentle smile and replied.

“I'll admit, it hurt at first, but I knew about that for a while, after all, I had to learn at some point and time when I became an actress. To be honest Naruto-kun, you might already know this, but you are the very first man who made me a woman, but when you and I did that in the set, I could tell that you have some experience before on how to properly pleasure a woman. So that tells me two things….”

“The first is that you have been reading all those men's magazines I've hard men read about all the time. And the second….is that you've done this before, haven't you Naruto-kun?”

Naruto gulped at that and tried to think about what to say as he had no intention of revealing the very secret he swore not to tell but ended up telling Jiraiya anyway and that landed him in this very same situation. However it seemed that he might not need to as Koyuki spoke.

“You don't need to tell me the details Naruto-kun or who you lost your virginity to, I don't mind that you're not a virgin yourself, though I must confess….I had hoped that you were a virgin so the experience would have been more interesting. But at least you were able to make it all worth while. Just tell me something.”

“What is it you want me to say Koyuki-hime?”

“Am I a good woman in bed?”

Naruto quickly blushed bright red and he was feeling his temperature rise at such an outlandish question that he was amazed that he was not cooking like a crab in a stew pot at the moment. The question was so outlandish, so personal….so downright unexpected that he had no idea what to do. He managed to recover and knew that if he answered wrong, she would no doubt take offense, and if he answered right, then who knew what she would do to him. He gulped and replied as best he could.

“Y-Y-You were….great Koyuki-hime, I'll…admit that you….uh needed some other moves, but you were great either way. I'm sorry, I don't know how to answer….that question properly.”

Koyuki smiled and hugged Naruto and replied.

“You don't need to, just to know that you think I was great is enough for me, besides, if I have some deficiencies I can always learn how to do better. By the way Naruto-kun…”

“Yes?”

“I loved what you did to me in that scene….you were great in there, and more. I might even consider marrying you and having you as Daimyo of Spring Country, I'm sure Sandayu-san would love that as he considers you a good man.”

Naruto blushed even more that as he tried his best to not embarrass himself even more and then Koyuki spoke.

“And if you ever have another love interest, don't worry, I'm more than willing to share you.”

Naruto felt like he was about to pass out from all the thoughts running in his head at what Koyuki was telling him right now, he prayed she was just kidding, if she knew that he was in love with eleven women, who knew how she would react. However….Koyuki dropped the real anvil right on Naruto's head as she made him face and without any hesitation at all, just pure desire, affection and anticipation…she kissed him deeply and replied.

“Naruto-chan….I'm not joking, I am dead serious.”

As soon as the intense lip lock was over….Naruto did the one thing most young men would do…

He fainted.

--------

Later….

Naruto was very busy getting dressed for his next scene and he had to deal with the fact that all the while as he was having break-fast with the rest of the cast, they were asking him on how well did he do in the scene with Koyuki and he couldn't help but blush and reply as best he could without being utterly embarrassed by all the questions heading at his direction.

It certainly didn't help matters when Koyuki showed up and a number of female staff and actresses began to ask questions on how well did Naruto perform in the scene. Thankfully, despite her teasing of him, the blonde Chuunin was relieved that Koyuki didn't tell them everything that happened between them and how she herself felt in the whole situation, only that he was a very good man to be with, yet that was enough for the women to sigh and give very hungry stares at his direction.

As soon as the footage was completed, Naruto had to sit through a full three hours of the video of his scene with Koyuki being replayed for possible errors and mistakes done during the whole scene, it made matters all the more distressing when Koyuki and the others were there as well, namely Kakashi, Sakura, Sasuke, Asuma, Chouji, Ino, and Shikamaru, all the men were looking on utterly amazed that they were actually seeing Naruto making love with a women who was a princess and actress as well, while Ino and Sakura gave him some rather intense stares as well as staring at Koyuki who was smiling all the while as she recalled all that they had done in that once scene alone.

Afterwards Naruto found himself being stared down to by Kakashi once they were all done eating break-fast and the Jonin looked dead serious and then to Naruto's surprise, the Jonin patted him on the shoulder and spoke.

“I'm proud of you Naruto.”

“Huh?! What are you talking about Kakashi-sensei?”

“For one thing, you managed to get the job done, and you finally got to try it out being with a woman in the very intimate sense. That might even give me some inspiration in the future when the movie is finished.”

Naruto looked at Kakashi and wondered if his teacher had grown another head while he was away and busy. However the Jonin replied a bit more seriously.

“However, I can bet that performance you gave is really going to throw you into the proverbial description of being a steak being thrown into a pack of wolves. I doubt the Hokage is going to like the idea all that much once that part of the movie comes out, not to mention the exposure is really going to get the women's attention if any of them watch that film. And considering the fact that majority of the movie goers will be men, well, things can get very hairy.”

“You should have thought of that before you had me take the lead role Kakashi-sensei!”

“I know, but nothing we can do about that now can we? The best we can do is see things through, and made do with what we have.”

Naruto sighed and wondered just how his life had gotten this interesting.

Meanwhile, Sakura and Ino were having their own field day as they were allowed to witness the video of the scene and they were blushing at the sight and vowed to do what they could to get Naruto alone first chance they got, while Koyuki smiled regally at the video and blushed somewhat as she recalled just what they did together. The two ninja then spoke to the princess when they were finally able to speak to her.

“So….how was the scene?”

Koyuki grinned and replied.

“Naruto-kun was awesome, certainly a great person in the sack. That with his very compassionate nature makes him a man worth being noticed. I'm actually kind of unhappy that he was not a virgin when we did it, but at least he knows how to make a lady happy.”

Both Kunoichi blushed a bit and mentally spoke the same phrase that they would never speak out in public.

(You have NO idea just how good Naruto-kun is yet.)

Koyuki then spoke.

“The fact that it was my first time was certainly nice.”

Both Kunoichi were naturally stunned by that fact as they realized the implications of Koyuki's confession, Naruto had not only been with Koyuki in an adult scene, but had taken the princess' virginity at the same time. But what Koyuki said next really surprised them.

“I would love to meet the woman he lost his innocence to, since I don't mind sharing him at all, even if I might decide to marry him once he's a bit older.”

Both Sakura and Ino were blushing bright red and both spoke at the same time.

“YOU WOULD MARRY NARUTO-KUN?!”

Koyuki smiled at that and replied.

“Of course I would, I told him the very same thing this morning, and he would make a fine leader both as Hokage and Daimyo of Spring Country.”

Both Sakura and Ino then did the one thing that they would do in that situation, they quickly blushed bright red at the words that Koyuki said and they couldn't help but wish they could tell her that Naruto was taken, but the two of them couldn't do anything about it at the moment as Koyuki was a princess and they were still Genin as well. The thought of sharing Naruto was not that bad for them as they had done it before themselves, but it was something entirely to know that a princess like Koyuki was willing to share Naruto as well.

Koyuki smiled as she meant every word, she knew for a fact that some rulers in other nations in the world had mistresses, while others had more than one wife, and while she was not really into that sort of trend herself, she was more than willing to try it out if it involved someone like Naruto.

The filming went on and Naruto was once more playing the role that was assigned to him and both him and Koyuki were ready for the rest of the movie to be filmed and it was not going to be very long before they would all reach the end. Naruto and the others knew however that Kagura's allies, her, and no doubt her employer would be very eager to strike once more at them once the chance came to them. Such foes were not going to let failure stop them a second time.

--------

And they were very much right…

--------

Some distance away…

Kagura watched as the film was well under way and she was eager for a fight once more as she turned to her employer who had decided to take a look at the situation himself to see just what sort of opposition he had to deal with in being able to finally see Koyuki dead by the hand of her and his servants. The new ninja forces were the normal grunts, but it seemed her employer had decided to test some of his own forces and directed the unit towards one blonde ninja in particular.

“I don't see why you should be sending those rejects to do my work C, I can handle this myself.”

“I have no doubts about your abilities Kagura, I just need more information to perfect the process, plus at least these rejects have some use despite how misshapen they are at the moment. The blonde ninja is of interest to me, something about his abilities can be useful.”

“So you want him as a test subject for your…procedures?”

“Maybe, but I won't be able to determine his usefulness if I don't see it for myself. Now do what I ask, and when the time is right, you can have your revenge.”

Kagura smiled beneath her mask and signaled the ninja before her to launch the attack and this time a band of massive giants were coming with them, this fight might kill Koyuki as well and save her all the trouble of trying to finish off the princess. As she made her move, the lumbering giant humans…or what used to be humans were coming along.

--------

Naruto and the others were suddenly alerted by Ino who was using a nearby hawk to spot the incoming force.

“We've got some company!”

Kakashi and the others nodded and they moved out to intercept the incoming force while Naruto quickly got ready to defend both Koyuki and the people as well. The security detail got ready as well though Naruto knew that they would not be able to hold their own if attacked the full force of the attackers, Naruto then decided to unleash one of his trusted spells. He summoned his Dragon Fire and spoke out in the same arcane tongue.

“PIERCING GAZE!!!!”

Naruto's eyes expanded and he saw the same bands of ninja that were heading right for the others, but when he spotted the juggernauts that were heading to the others, he quickly realized that he was needed there, the giants who were taller than any normal person he had ever seen in his life were grotesque….resembling humans to some degree, but had metal in their bodies and in their skin as well…it was like a monstrous combination of human and metal.

(What the heck are they?!)

Holy Talon itself spoke.

((“I am not very sure Master Naruto but I can read their minds to some degree….they were tortured and mutilated by someone who appears to have no care at all if they lived or died, they have been bound to that form for the rest of their days….”))

(By Kami….who could do something like this?!)

((“ I have also determined some similarities to the techniques used Orochimaru there, though these do not match at all to the ones I've seen.”))

(Orochimaru did this?! Damn that bastard!!!)

Naruto went to work and he summoned his warriors and dispatched a number of Zealots, Falcon Rangers, Sword Adepts, and Silver Star Mages to defend Koyuki and the others. All the while, the director, mirroring his own actions back in Snow/Spring Country recorded the whole thing on his camera. Koyuki knew that she could trust Naruto but she still felt very worried about her beloved's safety all the same.

Naruto arrived in time and blocked the attack of some of the ninja behind Sasuke who had already dispatched several other ninja who were coming towards them. Both team-mates moved on to join the others where Kakashi fought off several more of the normal ninja while Asuma joined in with the use of his trench knives in battle as more ninja were sent down to the ground. Sakura and Ino were busy fighting it out with Sakura using the strength training handed to her by Tsunade to even the odds while Ino managed to defend herself well enough with Shikamaru using his Shadow Manipulation jutsu to even things up in this fight while Chouji used his clan's ability to send more of their enemies flying away from them. Naruto however directed his focus on the giants as these were too dangerous to ignore, he trusted his comrades to handle the other ninja but these giants were different.

The others were shocked at the arrival of the massive warriors before them and the looks of the warriors made them sick. Naruto quickly used his Dragon Scale Defense spell to block the incoming attacks and protect the others.

“Gross! What the heck are they?!”

Ino said with horror as she looked at the beings who were once human. Their flesh had massive scars and signs of being tampered with, some had exposed flesh and bone mixed with metal and more. Some of them were firing shuriken and kunai at the shield that Naruto erected while two tried to stab at it with massive katanas built into their arms, resembling the weapon Zabuza used to wield.

“They appear to be human, but experimented on.”

Shikamaru replied as the ninja that were still about tried to attack them. Naruto then replied.

“We don't have time, I'll deal with these guys, you guys handle the ninja.”

The others could tell then and there that Naruto was not in the mood for an argument and they agreed, even Sasuke did so and as soon as Naruto unleashed a powerful wave of pure wind to knock aside the attackers, he moved in and engaged the five giants while Kakashi, and the others fought with the remaining ninja who had drawn out their swords and were all moving for the fight. Naruto took out a kunai and used his Dragon Fire.

“SPEAR!!!”

The kunai glowed and quickly extended into a massive spear that Naruto used to fight with, he spun the weapon to block a number shuriken fired by one of the giants who's upgrades resembled Zaku's Air intake valves, but instead of air pressure, these fired shuriken that apparently were razor sharp and from what he could smell, were coated with some sort of high grade poison. Naruto used his training with the Steel Lancers to turn his weapon into a shield and moved closer and then when a pause of the attack came, Naruto launched his spear into the leg of his foe with a lunge and then forced the giant back with a powerful kick, that sent it back a bit before he pulled out the spear and then he turned, stabbing the converted kunai into the ground and flipped up to avoid a descending strike with another giant who focused on him. As he landed and rolled away as several kunai were fired at his direction and managed to avoid three more with one of the three launched kunai cutting his clothes, but thankfully his Orchaelium armor was able to withstand the strike as well as the rest of his outfit.

Holy Talon then was able to hear the thoughts of the giants' minds, the sword then could see and sense the great anguish and torture these former human ninja had and it is aw how they were mutilated and converted to their current forms, and the Holy Dragon Sword felt great pity for these men and Naruto could sense it.

(What's wrong?!)

((“I can hear them Master Naruto, they are begging for death, they are in constant pain.”))

(Can't we save them?!)

((“No….they are too far gone, their normal minds have been lost to their pain and suffering that they have been subjected to, they only wish to die.”))

Naruto then was able to avoid the attack and moved to fight back with his spear on the attacker, evading the attack of both blades and moved closer saw the face of the apparent leader and he heard the whisper.

“Kill…me please….make my pain stop….I beg you, kill me!”

Naruto knew that Holy Talon was right, there was no other way, he hated killing but there was no other way now and feeling the same sentiment as well as seeing the looks on the faces of the others told him that now was the time. Naruto then moved aside and took out Holy Talon which glowed deep golden and he attacked. One giant tried to use a pair of built in spears in his hands but Naruto sliced them off, showing the powerful cutting strength of the sword and then quickly unleashed a powerful rising slash that gutted the foe before him.

He then leaped over the fallen body and attacked the same one he had wounded with his converted kunai turned spear and then cut down more of the shuriken and then used his Kage Bushin as shields and quickly leaped over them as they took the hits and he threw Holy talon right in the chest of his foe and then landed hard on his opponent and cut him clean in half Naruto turned and blocked a powerful slash from another one of the giants who wielded a sword and he moved out of the way and then leaped up and with one powerful slash cut the foe in half.

He turned and face both the leader and the last of the five foes before him and moved into attack, they all used their weapons to cut him down as he ran towards them but he rolled forward and evaded the attacks with speed and precision and then stood up to cut down his foes, the last of the giant soldiers cut down as Naruto attacked with a diagonal cut and he then reversed his grip Holy Talon, making the sword point blade first behind him and he then pushed backwards….stabbing the leader right in the chest as it turned to attack him.

As soon as that was over, Naruto pulled back and then cut down the leader of the five giants

Naruto wiped the tears from his eyes as he removed Holy Talon from the chest of the monster that was once human like him. The being that was once human, which was now misshapen and twisted by the horrific experiments done to it looked at him with eyes that were quickly going blank. But he recalled the last words the being who was once human spoke to him as he was finally freed from the grasps of the pain and suffering.

`T-Thank you.”

The blonde Chuunin looked at the mess before him and couldn't help but feel a bit sicker as the bodies of the beings that were once ninja were finally dispatched by the others as well and it made him feel all the more sick to see that these people who were once human like him were reduced to this monstrous and tortured existence.

Kakashi and the others had dealt with the rest of the ninja and then turned to see the carnage before them and even Sasuke had to admit that what he had witnessed was certainly something that sickened even him. The beings before them who who were no doubt sent by Kagura's employer no longer resembled anything human despite their still human like faces. As they finally moved ahead to join Naruto to see the leader of these beings finally slain by Naruto and Holy Talon, Naruto the spoke to Kakashi as he looked at the dead before him.

“I didn't know what to do….they were in so much pain….they asked me to kill them.”

“Naruto….”

It was then that some new voices came into the area.

“Not bad kid, you've got skill, even though these rejects of my experiments had more than enough power to beat a number of junior ranked Jonin you defeated them, you've got skills.”

Naruto turned and so did the others as Kagura appeared once more and next to her was man who wore a robe and had a headband on his forehead. The man then spoke to Naruto with a very serious but calm air about him, despite that Naruto could tell that the man was eying him as some sort of lab subject, and that angered the blonde Chuunin and Dragon Champion greatly.

“You have skills kid, I would like you to join me…”

“And allow you to murder Koyuki-hime? I will never betray her faith in me, I will kill you this, I swear it!”

“For what?”

“For what?! For trying to harm some I consider a friend and doing this these people! What kind being subjects people to this torture?!”

C then looked at Naruto and replied.

“You think that I am a monster right kid? Then you are right, but I am a man who is willing to create the perfect weapon, and if I have to kill a hundred people to create it, I will! For in the marriage of flesh and steel will come the new era of weapons.”

“What the hell are you talking about?!”

“Think of it kid, ninjas who are melded with bodies of living steel, even the puppetry style of Suna would pale in comparison with the creation of a fully living army of machine ninja, The ultimate marriage of flesh and steel chakra and metal. The ultimate living weapons!!! That is my dream and if killing a hundred can help achieve that goal, then I will gladly kill a hundred, and a even more!”

“The reason I want Koyuki dead is that she has stopped me from getting the needed material in order to perfect my creations, how to pace the very soul and conscience of a ninja into a living body of metal. A body made of metal is stronger than ANY form of flesh.”

“I had a partner once, his name was Orochimaru, it was with his help that my dreams began to take shape, to create ultimate living weapon, but he turned it down, all because of your team-mate, the brat with the Sharingan.”

Sasuke growled at the insult and spoke.

“You dare to mock the Uchiha and the Sharingan?!”

“I do, you might be a skilled warrior, but you're still human after all, you can still die, but my creations will last forever, they do not know fear, suffering, pain, and all that weakness of humans….”

Naruto had enough of the man's words, he had been able to see the minds of the giants he had slain thanks to Holy Talon and he shouted out in rage.

“LIAR!!!! You tortured and mutilated these men and I will make sure that you pay for it all!!!”

“I'd like to see you try.”

Naruto roared and attacked quickly, charging right at C to end his life for the horrors he put those people through and he was going to see this through as he charged with Holy Talon at the ready to strike. However he was forced back as a number kunai tied with chakra strings came at him as Kagura made her move to stop him from getting any closer to her employer. The former Konoha ANBU then took out her blade and fired more of her kunai at Naruto who quickly cut those down with Holy Talon and blocked her follow up attack with his chain mail, allowing the blade to miss his head as he moved his arm aside and then he responded with a powerful slash of his own that Kagura evaded as well.

Kagura flipped back and fired more of her kunai while placing her ANBU blade back into the sheath and she managed to land a punch at Naruto, but the blonde rolled with it and then moved aside and caught Kagura in a hold and flipped her away and she landed back on the ground nimbly and she spoke to him.

“Not bad, but even a Chuunin like you can't stop a Jonin level ninja like me, and when I get my hands around Tsunade, I'll…”

“You dare to lay a hand on Tsunade while I am around, I'll gladly slice off that offending hand and make you eat it!”

Kagura smiled at Naruto, seeing that there was great affection between the young man and her enemy, and figured she could use this to her advantage when she finally got the chance to capture and defeat Tsunade, Naruto Uzumaki might be a powerful fighter but he was still only human, and humans have weaknesses.

The former ANBU Jonin then gave Naruto a cruel smile as she spoke.

“You've got some skill kid, even for a Chuunin, I'm going to enjoy this fight!”

Naruto took out both his katanas and blocked Kagura's attack with her kunai and he blocked those attacks well enough and then flipped forward in a spinning motion with both swords before him, making him spin like a double bladed top and attacked Kagura and as soon as he landed, he placed aside one katana and switched to using a single one and then he used some of his Wind Chakra training to even up the odds.

“FUUTON!!! SHIPPUU KEN!!!!”

Naruto channeled his chakra into his Orchaelium constructed katana and then lashed out at Kagura and the renegade ANBU moved back but was surprised when she was cut on the left arm and stomach as the glowing chakra moved outward like a whip, increasing dramatically Naruto's attack range, the cuts were not that deep, but they bled a bit more than usual and her mask was finally sliced off….revealing her very attractive face. The former ANBU moved back and looked at the damage on her body as well as her clothes and spoke.

“So you're a Wind chakra type….impressive move by the way… that must be your signature jutsu then?”

Naruto however got up and readied his katana for a fight and Kagura smiled even more….this boy was a fighter, she wondered what she could do to him once she was able to beat him and take him with her as a prisoner, maybe after she had her fun, she could present his mangled corpse to Tsunade before she killed the Hokage. But she placed that aside for now and readied herself for another fight until C spoke out to her.

“That's quite enough Kagura….we've got enough data for now, this might have not been a direct attack on the princess but the data we have is enough for me, she can die another time.”

Kagura nodded and moved away before Naruto could attack her again, and then C took out a massive ball of explosives and threw it at Naruto who quickly slices it in half and rendering it useless. But the people get away and Naruto manages to curb his anger and re-sheaths his sword and Holy Talon spoke to him.

((We will get our chance Master Naruto.))

(I know, let's go see who has been hurt.)

Later, Naruto and the others checked on the crew as well as Koyuki, thankfully no one was seriously wounded or hurt, just a few scratches and cuts, that was about it, but it still angered Naruto that the bastard named C and the rest of his cohorts, including Kagura were attacking innocent people and he vowed to track them down once the film was over, it amazed him that the other members of the cast were still there but they were ready for the ending of the movie. The director himself, was still ready to finish filming.

There was no doubt in Naruto's mind that there would be others who would find out about the truth of what happened here and he vowed to make sure that Koyuki would be safe and unharmed until this film was over. No harm was going to befall her that much he swore on.

--------

Kabuto and Orochimaru managed to evade being spotted for the moment by Orochimaru using a snake summon to recon the camp and had witnessed the whole fight and the former Konoha Sannin had to admit that seeing his former ally was quite the surprise still, and to see how far he had progressed with his research was amusing, but he smiled as he saw Sasuke there, he still had every intention of claiming Sasuke's Sharingan, but not now.

Now was not a very appropriate time for him to make his presence known for the moment as he observed the whole thing, it seemed that Naruto was being trained by BOTH Tsunade and Jiraiya as he could see some traces of his former comrades' training on the boy, as he was showing better control of his chakra, and the pink haired one, Sakura Haruno' use of medical Jutsu mirrored Tsunade's own skills in the art of healing. And he had seen Naruto use his Wind Chakra in battle with Kagura as well.

(Impressive….I wonder how far Sasuke-kun will go once I get him to train with me?)

“Naruto-kun has grown a lot hasn't he Orochimaru-sama?”

“That he has….and Sasuke-kun is green with envy….this will prove to the key to my plans Kabuto. Come, we have much to do, with Naruto-kun and the others doing this mission and with C, or rather Chumaza-san.”

“He was the one who aided you in your research into creating weapons of war with the fusion of weapon and flesh, am I correct?”

“Yes….he had good plans, but I learned enough from him and then with Sasuke-kun, this research no longer interested me, now it seems that he wants to take his revenge…stupid fool, brave but stupid either way. Come Kabuto, we need to head back and do some more work.”

“Hai Orochimaru-sama.”

--------

Unknown to al involved….someone or rather something else was watching them as a dark form with blood red eyes and wearing a a deep black robe.

--------

In a hidden cave…

The inner sanctum of the pit beneath the earth was filled with the deep purple light coming from the viewing portal as the watcher

“Intriguing one, that mortal, he may be of use to me, it is time I added a new part of my army. And the others…they are also interesting”

Death Fang said in malevolent relish as it viewed the sight before it, it seemed that some wretched mortals in this world actually HAD promise after all. This one who resembled a snake in complexion seemed to be worth his time, at the moment at least, and his companion, the one with glasses was also worth his attention. The woman was very interesting, but the man was barely worth the notice, except for their leader, who's cruelty and willingness to mutilate and torture those who were his slaves made the evil sword smile in it's own fashion.

“To think there such mortals in this world….good.”

It was then that the sword willed away the portal and spoke as it was covered in the blood red and midnight black aura that radiated pure evil and malevolence. The sword spoke softly to the others who were there in the chambers.

(((“Ahhhh….it seems we have guests, I was wondering who would stumble on this place. Servants….make sure they are properly entertained when they arrive.”)))

“Yes Master….”

It was not long before the Chaos Dragon Sword looked to see the arrivals, a young woman with a flower in her hair and another young man and both of whom wore the same cloaks as that of Itachi and Kisame. The Chaos Dragon Sword observed them as it opened it's powerful eye at the new arrivals.

The young man then spoke in a calm tone.

“So we have finally found you, do you know who I am?”

(((“If I were to recall mortal, you are in MY domain, you had best observe proper manners while in my sight, lest I allow my servants to cut you down.”)))

“You cannot harm me, I am God.”

Death Fang was silent for a moment or two and then began to laugh….it's maniacal and blood lusting laugh filed the very room and then it looked at the two.

(((“You? A wretched little human having the gall to call yourself a God in front of me?! Hmph! You obviously are deluded to think you have even the tiniest speck of authority to call yourself a God here in my lair. What makes you think you are even a God human?”)))

“I am Pain.”

(((“Ah, I know you well enough, you are the leader of that rabble that came to my previous lair, Akatsuki if my memories serve me right….I am curious however, how did you find my lair?”)))

“That does not matter….you will serve me as my weapon for peace.”

Death Fang then growled with fury, controlled fury, but fry nonetheless.

(((“You dare to command me? You, a pathetic little human who has the gall, disrespect, and the cowardice to be using the body of your own deceased friend to come here instead of coming here into my lair yourself in order to properly claim MY power? You have some nerve to think that I will be claimed by a mere corpse that you control like a little puppet. Besides….for someone of your supposed power, you are very weak and pathetic to be serving another who I have no doubt is the TRUE leader of Akatsuki, and not you, so what makes you think I will obey a pathetic figurehead of a leader?”)))

Pain stopped at this and so did his companion. The fact that the sword knew who they were and what was the truth about them

Death Fang laughed a little and replied.

(((“Did you really think I will be so easily fooled brat? I have not lived millennia to be fooled by someone as foolish as you. You are a foolish idiot to be coming here, calling yourself God and planning to use me for your dreams of peace, Pain. Apparently you were NOT paying attention when Itachi told you of my powers. If you are curious why I know these things, it's fairly simple, I can read the minds of others easily….I can even read yours and your companion's for that matter.”

“You lie….”

Death Fang laughed.

(((“How much are you willing to bet on that….Nagato? Or should I refer to you in that body of your friend named Yahiko that you control?”)))

Death Fang laughed even more as both Akatsuki members looked at the evil sword and then it spoke once more.

(((“You are foolish to think that just because you have not gripped me in your hands, that I will not be able to read your mind Nagato….look around you, do you really think that this entire cavern that you are in is merely stone?”)))

The two looked and then to their surprise…the walls began to creak and there in fissures on the rock….were giant eyes! The eyes were organic and seemed to look at them with a piercing stare that forced them to gaze at the eyes. And then Death Fang spoke.

(((“My Lair is an extension of my power, boy….here I rule, and your vaunted Rinnegan is of little consequence to me! But enough prattle, come now, if you think you can claim me boy….why don't you try? Or are you too frightened to come out of that wretched cave in which you hide and face me in your real form, or has your use of the devices of which you control this corpse as your own avatar made your body so weak you cannot leave it? Come now Nagato….show me your vaunted power as God….or will you run like the pathetic, weak, foolish, and callow coward that you really are?”)))

Author's notes:

Ahhh….feels nice to be working on this story again, and this time we have some fairly interesting happenings coming up for this chapter, it seems that Akatsuki is taking a more active role in looking for Death Fang and it seems that Pain and Konan have found the sword that Itachi described.

However, it seems that Death Fang has learned a lot more than just Itachi's plans concerning his little brother, it knows Pain's plans and his true identity and the truth behind Akatsuki….showing once more that while it is a weapon of mass terror, slaughter, mayhem, and death, it is a very intelligent being and not one to be easily fooled.

And it considers Pain weak and cowardly….how will this encounter play out?

See it all on the next chapter which will wrap up this arc.

Kagura continues her vendetta and plans to face off with Tsunade in the near future but now plans to strike at the one that Tsunade cares about. What does she plan to do to Tsunade when given the chance and how will Naruto factor in her plans?

--------

Now on to a more interesting topic…

Some readers have sent me PMs with the request which asked me if I could give Naruto a woman partner who was not human since most of Naruto's lady loves in this fic are human. And I have to agree that the idea does have a great deal of merit, some have suggested to me to include Elven females, and even female Dragons, and I have to admit I am leaning to that idea myself, it will certainly add some much needed spice to the story.

In that regard, I plan to set up a poll soon, and the question is fairly simple. Do I include a band of female elves into the mix, a band of female dragons in humanoid form, or a mix of both groups?

Anyway, this will by my first poll so expect this to be fairly new, feel free to place your suggestions whenever you can, and the idea that gets the most votes wins.

Also….what will be the resulting fallout once the movie is finally completed and shown before all the people who are fans of Koyuki, as well as the audience in Konoha?

That will be worth seeing now won't it?

Here's a simple taste…

--------

Trailer…

Tsunade was shocked by this and she glared at Kakashi with undisguised surprise….and wrath, making even the level headed Copy cat Ninja of Konoha sweat a bit, he knew his decision to have Naruto act in the film might not sit well with some people, but even more so with the Hokage.

“HE DID WHAT WITH KOYUKI KAZAHANA?!”

“As I stated before, the situation that Naruto found himself in a few weeks before required him to be part of the acting staff of the movie and there was a good….”

“I AM WELL AWARE OF THAT KAKASHI HATAKE!!! WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS WHY YOU EVEN ALLOWED IT?!”

“I actually wanted to have them try someone else to take Naruto's place. But Koyuki-hime herself suggested Naruto and personally requested him to be the one to be in the scene.”

“SHE DID WHAT?!”

As soon as things were finished, Jiraiya looked at Tsunade who was glaring at him and she sighed as she looked at the information and spoke seriously. She knew that as client, Koyuki had the authority to ask for a ninja's services, even those that were of a VERY personal nature, thought that was never know to happen often. Naruto was by far, the ONLY Konoha ninja on record to be asked that.

“Damn you Jiraiya, you and your perverted books have finally put Naruto in the firing line, I don't know where you get those perverted ideas that made that book, but if I ever find out, you are going to be in serious trouble…now get out, I have a lot to think about, namely on how to avoid having Naruto being grilled by every woman in the village…”

(Including myself….)

Jiraiya nodded and left….a massive grin on his face as he walked away….it turned out even better than he hoped. Though he did feel a great deal of pity for Naruto as he knew that the films were no doubt about to be circulated all over the world, Naruto was going to be the most recognized ninja for the next few years, he was looking forward to that actually.

Meanwhile, Tsunade decided to contact all the other women who were very much part of Naruto's love life, she knew that as soon as those films came out, there was going to be a maelstrom of trouble to deal with. She didn't even want to guess what would be the outcome if anyone else got to see that movie.

In a secret lair….

Kabuto pushed up his eyeglasses a bit while trying his best not to laugh out loudly, while Orochimaru looked on, and as soon as the film was over, the snake Sannin gave a slight smile.

“My Naruto-kun….I have to admit you have moved UP in the world.”

Orochimaru had to admit that while he was no fan of movies, this one was very interesting.

“Kabuto, make sure that this tape is kept well away from the men….I am not in the mood for them to be distracted yet.”

Kabuto nodded and the snake Summoning Sannin spoke.

“One more thing…drop by Konoha and leave Naruto-kun a message, tell him that the movie was nice.”

Kabuto gave a slight chuckle and nodded once more.

“I'll do that Orochimaru-sama.”
