"Action!"
"Shishimaru, pull yourself together!" Fujikaze Yukie wailed, slumped against a male actor's chest. But it was all thunder and no rain; not a single teardrop fell. Although her acting skills were outstanding, her mind was currently preoccupied, making it difficult to concentrate and force herself to cry. She was still planning her escape. If she couldn't escape on the ship, then she would wait until the ship docked and run then.
"Sandayū, eyedrops!"
"Hai!" Sandayū hurriedly stepped forward to apply eyedrops for her.
After finishing, Sandayū returned to Kakashi and Naruto's shadow clone, boasting about how outstanding his little Princess Yuki was and how superb her acting skills were. Sandayū was a servant of Fujikaze Yukie's father, the former king of the Land of Snow. If the two recognized each other, he would indeed address Fujikaze Yukie as Princess Yuki.
The shadow clone listened from the side, pursing his lips. I've seen plenty of this kind of fawning over one's own princess, and usually, they'll add a 'next batch' comment. Complain as he might, the shadow clone still had to study acting; this was a task assigned by the original body. It was just that other clones got to play when they came out, while he had to study, which made him very angry, angry enough to explode.
"Boom!" A huge splash erupted in the water behind the ship.
Naruto, who was training on the other side, had no choice but to create another shadow clone to study acting. The previous shadow clone had been thrown into the sea by Kakashi just before it exploded.
Life is like a play, all depending on acting. He was still resentful about not getting a bento box after that acting showdown with Jiraiya last time.
"Could you guys please stop playing around?" I asked you to learn acting, not to believe in Bin Laden, okay?
"Then let me become Naruko."
"Get lost!"
The shadow clone scampered off.
"Who's Naruko?" Sasuke asked.
"My younger sister," Naruto said irritably.
"???" When did you get a younger sister? How come I didn't know?
————
Two days later…
"Director... B-b-big trouble! There's an iceberg ahead!" The shout of a gofer reached the ears of the two who were training.
Naruto scratched his head upon hearing this. I didn't let Fujikaze Yukie go to a bar to play with a hexagonal crystal. How did you guys know she was Koyuki Kazahana? How did she get exposed then? Wait, I remember she fell down before and the hexagonal crystal fell out. At that time, the only people present were the four of us, a few kids, and the extras led by Sandayū. The four of us are impossible, and the kids didn't even understand they almost died. That means...
"There are bad guys among the extras."
But Dotō Kazahana doesn't know Fujikaze Yukie is Koyuki Kazahana. Could it be he placed spies around multiple suspected targets? The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. The Land of Snow didn't have much money; Dotō Kazahana probably didn't have the capital to cast a worldwide net to find someone. So he could only narrow down the targets as much as possible, arrange for undercover agents, and then send fewer people to search worldwide. Otherwise, how could it be that in the original story, Fujikaze Yukie went to a bar, and by sheer coincidence, only two people were there, and by sheer coincidence, she was seen playing with the hexagonal crystal, and by sheer coincidence, that person was Dotō Kazahana's spy? If things could be that coincidental, the Chinese national football team would have won the World Cup long ago.
Then who is this undercover agent? Did they follow onto the ship or not? Naruto's head ached from thinking. This kind of "who is the spy" game should be played by Shikamaru. Naruto, who had pulled out a few strands of yellow hair from his head while thinking, decided to stop thinking. Forget it, you can stay undercover for now. I'll go kill your boss first.
"What's wrong with you?" Sasuke asked, puzzled.
"Itchy scalp."
"Oh."
Kakashi walked over. "Naruto, Sasuke, follow me. The director is going up the iceberg to film."
"Okay."
On the iceberg, the film crew had everything ready.
"Action!"
"That's... the Demon King!"
"Princess, stand back! We'll deal with the Demon King!"
"Accept judgment, Princess Fūun!" The actor playing the Demon King pointed his sword at Fujikaze Yukie.
"Bang!" Smoke exploded on the iceberg. Kakashi used Body Flicker to appear in front of Fujikaze Yukie. Naruto and Sasuke followed closely behind. The three moved almost simultaneously, but Kakashi was faster than the two.
"Welcome to the Land of Snow," Nadare Rōga said, making a cool entrance from the smoke.
"Thank you," Naruto replied. Since they're extending the courtesy of a host, one should at least say thank you. Moreover, Naruto quite admired this person. He clearly could have ambushed them, yet he insisted on a direct, upfront confrontation – this behavior was very much in line with Naruto's own way of assassination. What's the use of lurking? I'm here to go on a rampage.
"Princess Yuki, did you bring the hexagonal crystal?" a woman standing on the other side asked. Naruto didn't remember her name, only that it was something like Fubuki.
"You are...!" Kakashi recalled the mission he undertook as a child. He had seen these people before. And at that time, his mission target was Koyuki Kazahana. That woman was called Princess Yuki, which means... "You are Koyuki Kazahana!" Kakashi turned his head, shocked. Kakashi genuinely hadn't recognized her before. If she had been an adult back then, it would have been fine, as her appearance wouldn't have changed much. But when he saved her, she was still a little girl. Who could have imagined that after so many years, she would grow up to look like this?
Just as Kakashi was shocked, a fat man in armor crawled out from the snow.
"Naruto, Sasuke, one each. Sakura, protect Koyuki Kazahana. I'll deal with the one at the top!" Kakashi ordered. These two, one has removed his weights, the other has already activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode. Can I even stop them from joining in? Besides, after analyzing, Kakashi also determined his team had a fighting chance.
"Okay."
"Mm."
Naruto, chakra adhering to the iceberg beneath his feet, charged straight at the fat man. Although Naruto didn't remember that woman's name, he remembered she could fly. His current anti-air capabilities were basically zero, so it was better to leave her to Sasuke, who knew how to play with wires.
"Clang!" Naruto punched the mechanical claw on the fat man's arm.
"Brat, not bad speed. But the defense of this armor of mine is very high, you know," the fat man grinned sinisterly and swung his other hand.
Naruto ducked under the fat man's swing. A seven-colored Rasengan appeared in his hand. It had only changed color twice before Naruto slammed it into the fat man's stomach. This fat man was bulky, and with the armor restricting him, his taijutsu was worse than Neji's. It was just that this armor's defense was a bit high.
The fat man was pushed back a few steps by the Rasengan. "Not enough attack power, eh."
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Creating one clone, Naruto's original body continued to press the attack.
Calculating the time, Naruto kicked the fat man in the chest, using the force to propel himself away.
"Don't even think about running!" The fat man ignored the charging clone, and the mechanical grappling hook on his arm shot out. If the original body can't break my defense, what use is a clone?
"Pow!"
"Boom!"
The clone first threw a brick, then exploded. The mechanical grappling hook ultimately still didn't catch Naruto's original body because Naruto discovered a flaw in his self-destructing punch clone: if the person was sent flying, the explosion couldn't hit them...
The fat man, sent flying, crashed into the ice with his mechanical grappling hook, taking no damage from the explosion at all.
Naruto felt a bit sad. Why don't I have a single normal offensive skill? Seven-colored flashing Rasengan, self-destructing clones that can't hit anyone... what kind of silly skills are these?
