Reborn In The Narutoverse

"Thank you for your hospitality; we"ve enjoyed our stay here!" Kakashi replied.

Naruto had been chatting with Inari "Don"t worry about it, Inari. We"ll come back to visit sometimes." Naruto"s eyes started to water, as did Inari"s. "Don"t let it get you down Inari; you can cry if you want."

Inari closed his eyes and shouted "Yeah right, who"s gonna cry? Naruto Nii Chan, you can go ahead and cry yourself."

"Tsk, Yeah right! See ya later." Naruto turned around and started crying as Hinata comforted him by patting him on the back, everyone else tried to hold in their laughter as they walked beside him. Inari started crying too, Tazuna started patting Inari"s head, as he continued to watch Team 7 walk away he said, "That boy touched the hearts of every villager here, he didn"t just help us build a simple the bridge, he helped build up our hopes and courage. You know, we haven"t given this bridge a name yet. How about the Great Naruto Bridge."

Team 7 had finally returned to Konoha; they had gathered in Sarutobi"s office, and were just finishing giving over their mission report. The Hokage"s jaw remained dropped through the whole speech; certain things were removed from the written doc.u.ments so as not to risk information leaking about the Chakra Mine. Sarutobi was more impressed with the fact Kibo managed to subdue a Jonin like Zabuza, and a Chunin level Haku.

When heard the Mizukage was being controlled by a Gen-Jutsu the atmosphere turned somber, "This is a serious matter indeed. I"ll have to scheduled an off the books meeting with the remaining Kage. This couldn"t have come at a worse time; we"ll be holding the Chunin Exams in a month." Sarutobi sighed as he pulled out his pipe.

"During the Exam I"ll have to send out invites the other Kage in secret. We"ll deal with the Mizukage"s issue, you kids just need to prepare for the Chunin Exams, leave this to the adults." Kibo shook his head at the kid comment and informed the Hokage of their adventure to the Land of Whirlpools, Sarutobi"s eyes bulged as he heard they defeated an S Rank monster.

Kibo then stated that placing the sealed creatures in the training cave being a good idea, more specificity he pointed out that the portable training room would be the safest place to store them. After explaining that the room existed in a separate s.p.a.ce than this one, and it wouldn"t be subject to natural disasters like earth quakes Shin.o.bi attacks, Sarutobi was surprised even further. Kibo didn"t say where the room came from, when they asked he just shrugged his shoulders and said, "It just appeared there one day!" he then bowed to the Hokage and left with the others.

He didn"t mention anything about the upcoming events concerning the Chunin Exams, because needed that moment on the roof with the Hokage and Orochimaru. He had plans for that snake, and that eye thief Danzo as well. Kibo was sure Danzo would be joining in on the attack, there was no way he"d miss out on getting his revenge, after all Danzo was that kind of spiteful character that would kill the Hokage just so he could take his place.

Kibo had a month to prepare for the exam, but he hardly any time to train, during this time Team 7 would undertake 10 B Rank missions, and their first A Ranked mission. Since the bridge building incident was upgraded to an S rank, they hadn"t actually completed an official A Rank mission before. Thanks to their hard work, Kibo actually gained and allotted many of his system points to a few good items.

He purchased the final Profession Relic in his 5 year shop, then he purchased a Master Craftsmen Portable Forge Room, it was the single most expensive item he purchased yet.

It cost him 250,000 points, there was a cheaper versions of it that consisted of novice, journeymen, and expert, but he wasn"t willing to skimp on this. If purchasing a better forge would allow him be less wasteful with his Chakra ore; then he wouldn"t even think twice. He then even purchased some additional forging materials, after that he only had 7,500 left to spend on various medicinal herbs for his alchemy experiments, when he was done with that he only had a meager 90 points left.

As for the 1/2 Reibi soul, he knew one day he"d have to find the other half before adding it to his star chamber. Luckily he knew where to start his search, but the location of the Reibi no Yami (Zero-Tail of Darkness) had yet to appear; so he would have to wait a few years.

It was during this point craving phase that Kakashi brought him a bit of good news, "Team 7 has our first official A Ranked mission; we are to escort an actress by the name of Yukie Fujikaze." Sakura and the rest of the girls seemed to have perked up, "You mean the actress who played Princess Fūn in the new movie Clash in the Land of the Snow, that Yukie Fujikaze!?" Sakura said with her eyes glowing, "Good you"ve already seen it; I"ve prepared tickets for the rest of you. So I want you all to watch it so you can get a hold on what our next client is like." Kakashi responded waving the tickets in his hand.

Sakura grabbed one of the tickets and said, "I haven"t seen the movie yet, but I"m a big fan of her films. I"ve been looking for the chance to go watch it, but we"ve been so busy this past week I haven"t had the time. Thank you Sensei!" Sakura gave Kakashi a hug, when Sasuke saw this; his eye brow twitched. He picked up Sakura, and pulled her away from Kakashi while taking his ticket. He gave Kakashi a dark glare as he walked off with his arm around her shoulder. Sakura face was bright red as she could only make out his name with a surprised expression "S.Sa.Sas.Sasuke!" Kakashi laughed and scratched the side of his head.

Kibo thought it was a little strange that this was happening before the Chunin exams instead of after, but the movie timeline never made much sense anyway, so he wouldn"t be surprised if the changes he made in this world make it happen sooner. The rest of team 7 took their tickets and headed to watch the movie. They made sure to buy popcorn and snacks, but because of the Exam being so close to starting, they still insisted of watching the movie from the roof as extra training, Kibo made a floating table so they wouldn"t make a mess, and then the movie started off.

The intro began with Princess Fūn history, she was an exiled princess forced out of her land at an early age by an evil adviser of her father"s. The man killed her family and she managed to escape, after a lengthy journey of her growing stronger and meeting worthy allies. The princess returned to her land, Fūn"s nemesis, Mao, challenged her group with an army of undead soldiers. His dark intentions seemed to prevail; that is, until Princess Fūn and her teammates, Shishimaru, Brit, and Tsukuyaku, unleashed the power of the Seven-Colored Chakra upon him. They saved the day, and Naruto, who was watching from afar couldn"t have been more elated. He started cheering when one of cinema managers threw a flash light hitting Naruto on the head. He hit the ground and started rubbing his head and shouted "Hey old man! What was that for?!"

"You little runts snuck in didn"t ya!?" The cinema manager shouted, everyone else jumped down and showed their tickets; unfortunately the audience of the movie began to throw objects at the team for making so much noise while they argued with the cinema manager.

As the team is forced to leave the theater without being able to see the ending, they gathered in at an unused construction site near the building, when Sakura shouted, "d.a.m.n it Naruto! You couldn"t keep your mouth shut for ten more minutes! We missed the ending of the movie!"

"Sorry Sakura, I"ve never seen a movie before, most people in the village usually threw me out before I could even watch. I was a little excited; I"ll pay for the tickets so you and Sasuke can watch it again later." Naruto then whispered "You can watch it alone with him."

Sakura stopped just as she was about to slug Naruto, "Naruto is getting better on how to handle Sakura"s outburst." Kibo actually liked the movie, it so much better when you can just cast Jutsus rather than using computer animated special effects, but when the two mixed it was actually way better than anything they could do on old earth.

"Ahh the seven colored light reminded me of my sister Suzaku, her seven colored flames would burn in a similar fashion. They could bring an eternal spring to a winter land, or burn a person"s very soul to oblivion." Seiryu mentioned as a sense of sadness could be seen on his face. Kibo sighed and wondered if there was any connection to the Rainbow Chakra and Suzaku, but he didn"t think that two of the sacred beast would end up here; the odds were astronomical so he put the thought to the back of his head.

Sasuke seeming to have heard Naruto said, "Nah, I"ll just wait till it comes out on sale, and watch it at home."

Sakura was about to resume with the punching, when Hinata stepped in-between them and tried to play mediator. Suddenly the actress who they were suppose to protect, Yukie Fujikaze herself jumped the fence next to Team 7 on a large white horse. She had long black hair that was flowing in the wind with long bangs that ran down on each side of her face.

Her face was one fit for the movie screens as she looked like a supermodel, her aquamarine eyes were slightly slanted and her eye brows were thin and well groomed. The young maiden wore an expensive green blouse under a loose pink jacket and had on light brown gloves, her attention only focused on Team 7 for a second, before dashing off madly on her steed.

The men she was being chased by were wearing kabuki-samurai armors, and riding large brown war horses. Each of them carried large rope nets in their hands, and shouted commands to their comrades as they charged in the direction of the actress. Naruto, and Hinata ran on top of the roofs staying close to Yukie, some of the armored men threw a net out that was about to capture her, but Naruto threw a few Shuriken shredding it into pieces, while Hinata"s clones knocked out the men with her gentle fist.

Yukie seeing this took off again, and while Naruto and Hinata chased after her, Karin, Sakura and Sasuke pushed the bulk of the attackers away from their target. After they quickly beat them down, and just finished tying them up, Yamato and Kakashi appeared on a nearby roof top and shouted "What are you doing?"

"Killing some time!" Sasuke said with a child out tone as he clapped his hand together like he was whipping off dust.

"These guys were chasing down our client; we"re just tying them up so they can answer some of our questions.

As Kibo stood in the distance trying not to laugh, Kakashi flickered over cutting everyone"s ropes; he picked the only man without the armor on, and started apologizing.

It turns out that they were actually stuntmen disguised as bodyguards, led by Yukie"s manager, Sandayū Asama. He was an elderly bespectacled man with grey hair that was pulled back into a small rat"s tail hair style. As Kakashi Finished informing them of this misunderstanding, he looked around and scratched his head while saying "Hey! Where are Naruto, and Hinata?"

Naruto and Hinata had chased down Yukie several times, and things played out similar to the original timeline, except this time Hinata joined him in his antics. After her constantly trying to ditch them she managed to drench an unexpecting Naruto with pepper spray under the guise of giving him an autograph. While Hinata took care of him Yukie made her way to find a place to drink at.

Kakashi and Yamato joined the crew and were informed of their difficulties with Yukie, "For some reason she"s adamant about not going to the Land of Snow, if she doesn"t do this and quits out on the final movie in a series, it could ruin her career." The producer said with a disappointed look on her face.

"Is that the place your going to do last movie!?" Sakura asked, looking at a huge icy island.

"Yes, that"s the Land of Snow, the only place we can get the kind of scenery we need for the film." The producer said, as a man ran in. "Sir, we found her! She"s at the bar, and two Genin are accompanying her."

Kakashi and Yamato let out a sigh of relief, "Good then, lets head over now, if we get to the dock quickly, we can still make it on time."

Team 7 met up with Naruto, and Hinata they both had disappointed faces on as her manger Sandayū tried to motivate her. Seeing that this was going nowhere, Kakashi used his Sharingan to knock out Yukie and carry her to the ship.
