23 First Contact

Next day, Naruto went on to meet the director of the movie and its cast members and they were a bit surprised to see a kid be sent as a bodyguard but they didn't have much of a choice since they already paid for the services. While they didn't take Naruto seriously they couldn't ignore him either as he was Shinobi from Konoha.

Koyuki was not on the set as there was no scene for her to act and with her cold personality she wouldn't come to watch others act out. Naruto did get to meet her on the second day as she pulled off her stunts to run away on a horse being chased by stuntmen who were acting as bodyguards.

She was quickly managed to escape the scene and stopped once the 'Cut' was heard from the director. "Princess Fuun" was a hit movie across the Elemental nations and they were just filming one of the last scenes in the Land of Hotspring. As for the movie plot, it was kept a secret from Naruto though he had little interest in it.

Later that night Naruto watched Koyuki sneaking out of her room and found a bar to drink her sorrows away. She was the heir of Land of Snow and her father had been killed by her own Uncle. Being an actress she didn't show her sadness out in the open but it didn' mean she wasn't affected by it.

Naruto went inside the bar and sat beside's Koyuki and grabbed her bottle. "You look like you need a company. You mind if I join you." Naruto said as he poured himself a glass of wine. Now that he thought about it he didn't get any chance to drink after he was reincarnated here.

Before he was too young and although he was still young to drink now but no one was here to order him around so he decided to take a sip or two. Without waiting for Koyuki's approval Naruto downed the glass as a burning sensation went down his throat and disappeared down his gut.

But the expected result was not there as his body quickly digested the alcohol without letting him get drunk. A surprised and expression appeared in Naruto face as he lamented on his sad fate. Kurama boosted Naruto's healing factor and his overall physical abilities as well and he was pretty much like a captain America if not better.

Drinking Alcohol was like drinking bitter water so it was better for him to drink plain water instead since he was not going to get the kick out of it.

"You... Aren't a bit too young to drink? Kid. And I don't need a drinking buddy so if will. I'd like to be alone for a while" Koyuki recognized the kid as her new bodyguard.

Though she didn't see how a kid could protect her, she didn't voice out her concerns as she was not really in the mood to bicker. The thought of going back to her country was already putting her mind at unease.

Naruto looked at the slightly drunk figure by his side and he would be lying if he said he felt nothing looking at her face. She was, after all, a princess and a movie star with her make up still on. Red rips violet-blue eyes and dark long hair, Koyuki was at the peak of her beauty and Naruto admired the face with content.

"It's okay. This thing is too weak for me anyway. Just drink to your content, I'll escort you back after you are done with your miserable lonely time." Naruto said as he moved few seats away from her and a carbonated drink.

"I don't need your protection and what do you mean by miserable lonely time? You're the miserable one." Koyuki said in annoyance as he directly took a mouthful of drink from the bottle.

Naruto didn't reply and continued to drink his carbonated juice ignoring Koyuki. Veins started to pop on Koyuki's temple as she took another mouthful in annoyance. While Naruto ignored her according to her wishes, it also pissed her off since she was still talking to him.

Timely slowly passed as Koyuki took out her neckless looking at the crystal with nostalgia and sadness. As Koyuki was lost in her memories Asama brusted into the bar in a hurry.

"Miss Yukie, the boat will leave early in the morning so you shouldn't drink too much. It will be bad if you get hangover and seasick at the same time." Asama said in concern as he tried to convince her to leave.

"Uh, fine. Pay the bills Asama." Koyuki said putting on her neckless and wobbled out of the bar putting back her disguise. Asama quickly paid the bills and followed Koyuki in a hurry.

Next day, Naruto got on to the ship along with Filming crew and found a place to sit. There was some scene to be shot in the boat which Naruto enjoyed. It was a different experience as things looked different than what was seen in the movie.

It was a fun experience for him as he enjoyed the vast sea and the real-life unedited parts of the movie right in front of his eyes. Before long everyone was wearing thick jackets and gloves as the boat got near to the Land of the Snow.

Naruto was having a pleasant nap until he was woken up by some heavy sounds. Coming out of his room Naruto saw a giant Iceberg the size of an island floating right in front of their path. While everyone in the crew was crying in annoyance the Director was in high spirits despite being in his Pajama.

He had decided to film in the iceberg and the crew could only follow in defeat since the order was already given out.

Naruto came out prepared as he knew the first contact with the enemy was going to happen in this very iceberg and he was looking for a good warmup in this cold weather.

"Hahaha, it seems you've finally arrived Princess. Well done" The villain of the movie laughed standing at the top of the iceberg.

"It's you Maou." Koyuki or rather Princess Fuun said along with the surprised dialog from her co-stars.

As the filming crew was doing their job Naruto looked around finding three Shinobi hidden in the ice and snow waiting for a perfect moment to ambush. The whole iceberg was probably their set up as well since it was hard to find such a large Iceberg in the middle of the sea without even reaching the Land of the Snow.

They wouldn't have bothered to hide if they didn't sense the dense amount of Chakra being projected by Naruto.

"Okay everyone, I'd like you to move back for a while so that I can deal with our visitors for a moment." Naruto moved out in front of the camera in the middle of the shoot.

"Hey, what do you think you're doing?" One of the crew members cried out but before they could say anymore everyone quietened down seeing three unidentified people emerging out from their hidden area.

"Welcome Friends to the land of the snow." Nadare Roga welcomed the filming crew in his weird grey spandex covered in some metallic parts. Naruto knew it was a chakra armor from the movies and most of the Ninjutsu, as well as Genjutsu, would be blocked by it. But the most being Rank B-jutsu and below.

Naruto created two more clones of himself surprising the ordinary members of the crew and moved out to find one target each.

"Friend, aren't you underestimating us sending only your clones to deal with my teammates," Nadare said he moved to exchange some blows with Naruto.

"It's fine, I'm just looking for a good warm up. My body has been feeling stiff due to the weather. Thanks for coming out to help me get some exercise." Naruto said throwing a punch towards him.

Naruto could have ended the battle with ease but where is the fun in that. Naruto ignored his sage mode as well as Kurama's chakra and went on to fight them on his base form. While Naruto had gotten pretty powerful, he still lacked the fighting experience.

He could just stomp them with pure brute force but he really wanted to gain some hand to hand experience from the Snow Shinobis.
