Chapter 75

Last Time:

The director filmed as Naruto took off, tears streaming down his face. "We're going to be millionaires!" He yelled happily.

Now:

~ A Week Later – With Naruto ~

Naruto watched as Koyuki stared down towards her subjects. As soon as Doto was eliminated, the people wasted no time in placing Koyuki as the new Daimyo of the Land of Snow. He grinned as she waved to him, only to feel a sharp smack upside his head. "What did we tell you, Naruto?" Yugito demanded, a dangerous tone to her voice. " My eyes are only for you two, and no one else." Naruto quickly replied. "Good. We wouldn't want a repeat of what happened after we caught you and Koyuki, now would we?" Samui whispered in his ear, making a cold shiver run down his spine.

"No, of course not!" He replied quickly, making Yugito and Samui smirk at how whipped he was. "Behave, guys. I still don't know how Naruto's even standing after what you two did to him, but the fact is he is." Darui said behind them. Koyuki suddenly approached them, making Yugito and Samui look at her with careful eyes. "Hey there, Naruto-kun. Guys!" She finished. Everyone muttered a quick greeting, the only exclusions being Yugito and Samui. "It's a shame, isn't it?" Naruto asked, trying to get their attention on to another subject. "After all of this time, the generator wasn't finished." He mused.

"Yea, everything will probably be back to snow in a few weeks." Darui agreed. "Yea, but if we take what we already know about the generator and begin pouring more research into it, the land of snow could become the land of spring pretty soon." Koyuki said, not about to let anyone rain on her parade. 'Tony, I get the feeling you would love this place. Everyone here seems to have your thirst for knowledge and your ingenuity..' Naruto mused as he heard the princess go on about the generator. "But it's too bad. You're a great actress, and to have to retire at the peak of your career to run the land of snow.." Samui chipped in.

"Who said I'm retiring?" Koyuki asked in a playful tone, turning everyone's attention onto her. "But, aren't you going to run the land of snow now?" Yugito asked. "Of course, but I have been an actress for most of my life. I'd be crazy to give it up now." Koyuki said with a wink. "Actually, an author should be delivering a script today for a part he wants me to play in his movie. Their turning his entire line of novels to the big screen!" Koyuki finished excitedly. "What movie is it?" Naruto asked, slightly intrigued. Before Koyuki could answer, a poof of smoke appeared before them all.

Naruto instinctually unsealed his shield and got into a defense position, only for a white haired man wearing a headband with the kanji for oil on it to appear before him on top of a large toad. " I am the gallant toad sage Jiraiya, the envy of all men and desire of all women!" The old man replied, making everyone sweat drop. "Wait.. Jiraiya. That name sounds familiar.." Samui said, mulling the name over in her head. "Ah, yes! I am the infamous writer of the Icha Icha Paradise books!" Jiraiya said, tears streaming down his face at the fact a female pervert recognized him. "Wait, of course!" Samui said as she reached into her ninja pouch.

She pulled out a small, orange book and handed it to the old man with a pen. "Can I have an autograph?" She asked, slightly ashamed. The old man giggled perversely and took the book, making a quick signature in it. Naruto slowly leaned over to Yugito, who was blushing at the fact Samui had that book on her. "Hey, what's Icha Icha about?" Naruto asked, genuinely curious about Samui's favorite book series. "Porn.." Yugito replied, making Naruto blush. "Wait a minute! You're telling me you don't know of the wonders of Icha Icha paradise?!" Jiraiya demanded, tears streaming down his face at the misfortune of his fellow man.

"Um.. No?" Naruto replied, making Jiraiya look at him in shock. "My poor boy, you need to be more like your beautiful friend over here!" Jiraiya replied as he pulled out a copy of his first book and handed it to Naruto. "Educate yourself, my boy!" He said, then turned to Koyuki. "Princess, I have brought the script for the movie!" Jiraiya said happily as he handed her the green booklet containing the script for the Icha Icha Paradise movie. Koyuki looked through it, then turned to Jiraiya. "Alright, I'll do it. On one condition.." Koyuki said, making Jiraiya tear up at the fact such a beautiful woman agreed to act in his movie.

"Of course! Anything you ask, princess!" The man said in a giddy voice. "For all of the x-rated scenes, you have to use a double. Since I am Daimyo of the Land of Snow, I cannot have my public image tarnished by my doing actual porn." She said, making Jiraiya deflate slightly. "Alright.." He said in a pouty voice, still slightly excited by the fact he had gotten the great Yukie to act in his film. As soon as he turned to see Samui put her book back in her ninja pouch and Yugito talking to the blonde in the assault uniform get up, a perverted idea crawled into his head.

A giggle escaped his voice as he turned to Samui. "Well, the director still has a few parts in the movie he needs to fill. Have you ever considered acting?" He asked Samui, getting a harsh glare in return from the girl. He then turned to Yugito, his inner pervert still willing to fight the good fight. "What about you, gorgeous?" He asked Yugito, getting a harsh glare from the girl as she began charging fire chakra into her hands, a blue blaze springing to life. He tried to turn and run, only to come face to face with Samui, her sword with the dragon design in her hand. With little effort, electricity began surging through it.

"Jiraiya-san.." Naruto said in a quiet tone, catching the attention of the old sage. "Do you know what a pissed of woman does to a pervert?" He asked, trying to give the old perv a hint. "But she shouldn't treat me like that! I'm not a pervert!" Jiraiya said, making Naruto look at him. "I'm a super pervert!" he proudly declared, making Naruto sweat drop. "You might want to run now." Naruto said as he motioned to the girls behind him. Jiraiya nodded and ran away as quickly as he possibly could, Yugito and Samui after him.

~ Back with Naruto and Koyuki ~

Koyuki giggle as she watched the old pervert try to outrun the young kunoichi after him. "Koyuki-san, I would like to ask a favor of you.." Naruto said, making the young princess turn to look at him. "Naruto-san, how very forward of you." She said in a sultry tone, making him sweat drop. "It's not like that, Princess." Naruto replied, making her look at him with curiosity in her eyes. "Then what is it?" she asked. "I would like to get a copy of the designs for the chakra armor your uncle and his underlings developed. And if I could, I would like to get a look around at their workshop." Naruto finished.

Koyuki looked at him hesitantly. "Naruto-san, I have to be honest with you. While I do appreciate what you've done for me and my country, that armor is a secret to the ninja from the land of snow." Koyuki informed him. Naruto nodded and picked up a cup of tea. "I understand that Koyuki, but I in no form or shape plan on rebuilding it. I just need a few aspects from it to help me with my own project." Naruto explained to her. "I won't release the design from the chakra armor to you, Naruto-san." Koyuki said firmly. "However, I will be more than glad to give you the design for any aspect of it you need." Koyuki finished.

Naruto sighed and turned to the chase. "Any way of me pulling the hero card on this one?" He asked in a joking tone. "Sorry, but someone told me that I had to man up and take responsibility for my land." Koyuki informed him, making him grin. "Alright, I guess I can live with that. As for the aspects I need, I just need the part of the armor Doto used to store chakra in, the regulator cables he used to help direct the flow of chakra through the armor, and the design he used to make wires capable of conducting chakra." Naruto finished, making Koyuki look at him with careful eyes.

"Naruto-san, why would you need all of that stuff?" she asked. "I have a little project that I'm working on, but I've encountered a few problems with powering it. I believe with these components, I could finish my project." Naruto said to her. "All I ask is that you never use it against the land of snow.." Koyuki said with a sigh. "Come on princess.. It is me, after all. What's the worst that could happen?" He asked with a smile. She nodded and walked away. "My people will get those plans to you in a few days." She said as she left. Naruto nodded, until a girly squeal resounded through the pavilion.

Naruto turned to see Jiraiya hog tied on the ground. Yugito was stacking fire in a small bundle as Samui sprayed him with lighter fluid. Yugito quickly stuck an apple into his mouth after he squealed. "Hush you. We wouldn't want word getting out before dinner." She said with a sadistic smirk, making tears flow from Jiraiya's eyes. "All right girls, let him go.." Naruto said as he approached the impromptu bonfire. "Naruto-kun, you're right on time." Yugito said as she handed him Samui's sword. "You get to carve the pervert!" She said in a giddy voice.

Naruto nodded and approached the downed Jiraiya with the sword in his hand, but cut the rope holding the man hog tied. "Alright girls, we can't afford to strain relationships with Konoha. And besides, we have a few days left in the land of Snow. I'd rather spend them with you two than in jail." Naruto informed them, making them sigh. "Fine.." Samui said and Jiraiya left, thanking all of the perverted gods that he managed to get away.

~ Time Skip – Two Days – Port of Land of Snow ~

Naruto grinned as he looked to the approaching Koyuki, her entourage of snow ninja making sure she was kept safe at all times. "Here is what you requested, Naruto-kun." She said as she handed him a large scroll. Naruto nodded and leaned into a large barrel. "Let's see.." He muttered as he looked through the scroll. 'Fabrication of chakra wire, practical uses, chakra core manipulation, advanced chakra seals..' Naruto read from the scroll. "Alright, everything seems to be in order." Naruto said as he rolled the scroll back up. Naruto nodded and made three clones.

The clones began lining the barrels next to each other in a neat row. The snow ninjas tensed and watched as Naruto went through a series of hand seals. "Summoning Jutsu!" He said and slammed his hands onto the floor. In a large poof of smoke, Eptesicus appeared before our heroes. The snow nins tensed as the large bat unfolded its wings and shook itself loose. "Naruto.." the large bat said, making Koyuki tense. "Eptesicus, I got your favorite treat.." He said as he motioned to the line of barrels. Eptesicus nodded and went to drink the sweet mango nectar, leaving Naruto and his team to their own devices.

Koyuki stepped up, hugged Naruto, and gave him a small kiss on the cheek. "Take care, Naruto-kun." She said to him. Naruto nodded, only to yell as Yugito pinched his butt. "Ow! What was that for?!" He demanded. "Just to remind you who's in charge." She replied with a wink, making him sweat drop. The snow nins withdrew their weapons as Eptesicus approached Naruto and motioned for them to get on. Before Naruto could stop them, Koyuki stepped up. "This team from Kumo are friends to the Daimyo of the land of Snow, and no harm will come to them." Koyuki declared, making the ninja stand down.

Naruto thanked her and was about to jump onto Eptesicus, only to yell as Samui pinched his butt cheek. He turned with a mock glare to her, only to get a smirk in return. "What?" She asked in a sly tone. "Yugito got her turn.." Samui finished, making Naruto sigh. He helped her on and without warning, Eptesicus took off. Koyuki smiled as she watched the hero of the land of snow fly away. 'Thank you, Naruto-kun.' She thought as she saw the large bat disappear into the horizon.

'You gave me the one thing this land took from me. You gave me hope.. and the courage to never give up!' She finished with a smile on her face and tears streaming down her eyes. She happily waved to the small speck in the sky, truly happy for the man who helped her and her country.

A/N: Alright, now we have a few things being foreshadowed for the future. Will they turn out perfect, or will the usual kink be thrown into the plans? Want to find out?
