Naruto's grumbling was getting louder and louder, annoying his fellow ninja and inner companions. He was working himself into a temper with the frustration of how ridiculous the situation was. There they were, four Kohona ninja (and an buji and ancient wraith), totally capable of protecting their client easily against any idiot coming for her, able to move faster than any citizen could imagine, forced to an crawl because of a 'kid' determined to give his life to protect someone who didn't care about them.
He and his teammates could have had her there and back by now! Instead he was forced to slow down so the stupid idiot could relatively keep up, or at least keep them insight. And add to that the stupid girls “I’m a princess” attitude and “I’m soo deserving of your reverence and obedience because only I can do this” was even getting to Sakura.
Even Neji was starting to develop a tick above his eye because of it, Sakura looked about to punch someone out for some quiet. Finally Neji moved to his side, knowing as team leader it was HIS responsibility to keep the peace in their team "Naruto......"
"What!" he snapped then winced visibly and the Hyuga just got the impression one of his 'tenants' had told him off "sorry" he said softly.
"I understand your feelings on the situation here, but we have to abide by the clients wishes.”
"I know" he sighed "it's just so stupid. We would have finished and be home by now if it was just us. And not only is he slowing us down, he will get in the way more than help if we're attacked. I mean we'll be too busy trying to defend HER as well as HIM. Four of us will have no problem defending one person, but with THIS guys here..." he thumbed in the direction of the “Guardian’, his own twitch showing when, as if to prove him right, he almost tripped over his own weapon "SEE!?"
Neji sighed audibly, pinching the bridge of his nose "I know" he looked at him "maybe you should scout ahead for trouble." Naruto looked at him funny. "With your abilities it would be easier for you to spot trouble before it comes" he explained.
"If an attack comes, it would be from the rear, more likely" Naruto said thoughtfully "however..."
The next thing Neji knew there was THREE other Naruto's in line with them. He sensed power from them all, however two in particular..... He raised an eyebrow at the other "clones?"
"They're a variant of the Shadow Clone jutsu, Blood Clones. Each is my perfect copy and will be able to physically fight like an other me, only they won't dispel until I will it or they are physically killed-or me."
"And the other two?"
Naruto grinned "so you were able to tell?" when Neji snorted Naruto's smile widened "you're right, they ARE different. One is neesan and the other is niisan. This way we have extra protection in my guise." He motioned to the one to Neji's right "neesan will guard our rear" the one on his left "niisan will take our right" the other but true clone "our left."
"A solid plan" Neji said "how will you keep in contact?"
"My Blood Clones and I share an telepathic link" he said "they will alert me of anything."
"And how will you alert US?"
"I'm telepathic" he grinned "you'll know." When Neji frowned again he quickly added "or if that makes you uncomfortable, as Balance Guardian I share a connection with Sakura. SHE can alert you."
Neji hesitated, was he REALLY afraid of Naruto talking in his head? What was it about it that made him uncomfortable? Was it the fear that Naruto would know his every little thought, every little secret and desire? Or just the idea in general of someone else inside a part of him so sacred as your own mind.
Naruto answered this thought "I can only read surface thoughts, what you are thinking intently at the time. Unless you bring up some deep dark secret and start thinking intently about it, your inner thoughts are safe from me. Hinata on the other hand....."
Neji looked shocked "HINATA can read minds?!" then his eyes narrowed "how did you know that was what I was thinking?!"
"It was written all over you face" Naruto grinned "for someone supposedly cool and in control you show A LOT of emotion. As for Hinata, what do you think being the Guardian of the Mind means? But don't worry, she knows family and friends desire their secrets and privacy, so she wouldn't do that to you. After all, we are ninja and sometimes you do things that are top secret and need to remain that way."
This relieved him but further conversation cut off when the clone Naruto identified as his 'brother' cleared his throat loudly. "Right" Naruto sweat-dropped "go" he said to them and with an flash of blonde and orange the clone and disguised buji and wraith were gone, each taking point in their assigned direction.
Naruto gave him one last look and was gone.
Neji turned to the other two “let’s move faster, we may loose him.”
“Right” the other two nodded.
Later that night Naruto brought the young man some food “Here, you’ll need your energy, we’ll be running all day tomorrow too.”
“That’s very kind of you” he said graciously.
After he had finished eating Naruto asked by way of conversation “so, about these visions.” The young man looked at him before answering “she can only see someone’s death if they’re an attendant, or close to her.”
Naruto frowned, so her ‘predictions’ were only in her own personal time line, interesting.
“So you can never avoid it, even if you know what’s going to happen?”
“Right. No matter what you do, your death can not be cheated in the end. Although every vision she has ever had has been centered on people who were already willing to die for her, and did so without question. If they had stayed safe and tried to live, I’m very positive Lady Shion would have died herself. But lately, many of the people in our land have begun to fear her fortune, going out of their way to avoid her. I can’t say if she will always see true. Perhaps it all depends on the people who are revealed in them.”
“I understand” Naruto nodded to him “she must be lonely, I guess that’s why she acts so spoiled.”
“Her story is a sad one.”
“So, what about YOU Taruho? What if she said YOU were going to die?”
“My clan is DEEPLY endeated to Lady Shion’s mother. If I could repay that tidings by safe-guarding her life, then I would gladly give up my life. Nothing can change one’s destiny as long as the heart remains true.”
Razeil snorted in his head “Another one. Geeze.”
“I guess it’s time to go then” Naruto rose “are you ready?” pretending not to have sensed the figure behind them this entire time. Even pretending to be surprised as he turned to see her. He even acted surprised and shocked at the following conversation, although he expected as much.
Razeil spoke again “only sees visions of the death of those close to her or attendants. I don’t know about you but this sounds fishy.”
Naruto snorted “of course it is, people she knows and people who revere her. If she says they’re gonna die, they believe her and jinx themselves. They so believe her that when the time comes to DO something about it they are so sure she’s right they actually LET it happen.”
“That won’t happen here” Kyuubi said firmly “even IF you start to believe her, we won’t let it happen.”
Later they stopped on top of an stone pillar at the center of an river while Neji explained his reasoning for the route, Naruto playing dumb again. The appearance of a water dragon sent them up the side of the cliff face while Naruto slowed to a stop, calling to them “GO! I’ll buy you time!” Neji opened his mouth, but Sakura called “Let him, he knows what he’s doing!”
The Hyuga nodded and the group started faster while Naruto stood his ground. When the dragon was a few feet from him he grinned and murmured “great fireball jutsu.”
An giant ball of spinning flame shot out of his outstretched hands, engulfing the dragon in it’s power, causing the loud his of evaporating water to make it sound like an unearthly scream. Once on land up top the group surrounded the priestess, Naruto appearing and taking his place.
Neji activated his bloodline, looking for the ones controlling the dragon and located them, but when Lee followed Naruto the winged-tailed boy rolled his eyes in his direction. Oh well, at least he’d get some fun out of this.
Luring the stupid red head into the forest was just the beginning of his plan, the idiot was so confident he was all-powerful he went without caution. The continued attacks Naruto avoided easily while pretending to be barely getting by.
*Same as anime*
“I guess I’ll tell you, my only job was to separate you from that byukugen user.....why are you laughing?” Naruto smirked at the puddle “you think I didn’t know that, you think HE didn’t know that” he snorted “idiot.” Before the enemy could react, Naruto muttered “fire glyph.”
“Fire wh.....” Miyuki's words were cut off as the entire area around him, air, earth, all sides burst into an flame like he had never felt before, burning him with an unearthly heat and pain “WHAT IS THIS?!" Naruto’s entire appearance changed as he spoke “it’s called an fire glyph, magic so ancient it predates that stupid so-called demon you want to raise. Predates chakra and even THE SAGE. MY people made it. MY people who never die of age or sickness.”
“What are you?!”
Naruto stood tall and proud, revealed in his full glory “I am the last of the Ancient Vampires, the last of the most powerful beings ever to walk the ancient lands before ANY of the nations began. Walker of the world of the dead, the Spectral world, able to travel through the land of the dead to reach his destination in mere seconds.”
“It doesn’t matter, you are too late.”
Naruto grinned “that is where you are wrong,” his body dissolved and as it did he spoke softly “enjoy what’s left of your life while you have it, for soon I shall claim ALL your souls and take them with me to the afterworld.” And was gone.
Naruto knelt down beside the body of Taruho, struggling with himself for what he should do next. He touched the body briefly, about to use his power when a voice behind him spoke “Taruho was a fool. Death was his choice. There’s no need to mourn the IDIOT.” Naruto glared at her, not thinking of what he was saying, but when she fled he was forced to follow.
He listened while she spoke, all about her burden, understanding just a little more. If she believed there was nothing else but death to those around her, he would prove her wrong, he vowed. He knew what he had to do, and it would start with the disguised body not far away.
Later as he left with the priestess he left a blood clone behind, he was NOT leaving his team mates unprotected, even if he had to do so from the shadows.
He needn’t have worried, they handled themselves nicely.
On their end Naruto swooping in with wings spread as the priestess fell towards the river below. Her eyes widened and she stuttered his name. “Yes priestess” he said as he caught her up in his arms and changed direction by banking his wings “what you see is the REAL me, not the disguise you saw before.”
“But....”
“Don’t you see, priestess, if your visions can be flawed, it can be wrong.”
“But you...”
“Would it surprise you, priestess, to know I am an walker in both worlds. The land of the living and the land of the dead are both my homes, my playgrounds. I can not die because I will not will it” his wings flapped “look at them, one symbolizes the world of life, the place we all live in. The other the land of the dead, were ALL SOULS go to be judged, and then reborn again. All those who died have other lives to live now, new families, new loves.”
“Yo...you mean Taruho....” Naruto smirked but answered “yes priestess, he is being reborn as we speak.”
"W.....what are you going to to do?"
Naruto grinned "I'll hold the army off until the others arrive. YOU go inside and complete the sealing. Once done we meet up and escort you back to your home."
"But...." she started and he smiled down at her "trust me, priestess. There is a difference between destiny and fate."
"What do you mean?"
"I'll tell you when all this is over. So you HAVE TO survive it, right? We both do."
She looked at him long and hard before a slight smile managed to find it's way onto her lips and she nodded "right."
With an dizzying swoop the winged and tailed boy dropped her off in the entrance and landed in front of the statue army, body in an defensive crouch "go, Shion-sama, go now and take care of that fool. You can do it. I'll join you as soon as I can."
Hesitantly she nodded and made her way inside.
Halfway inside she was again assaulted with the vision of the others death, causing her to collapse a little against the nearby rock face. Only for a voice to accompany it "it's not real, priestess, neither my appearance nor my death."
"How did you....."
"My brother spirit is even more ancient than this guy claims to be. He bares power only dreamed of. It is through HIM I can do what I can and through him I am protected."
Forcing herself to her feet Princess Shion moved on, trying to stay strong and hold on to the thought of what she had to do and the thought that IF this vision was wrong, IF it could change and she still lives, there WAS ways to save her people as well as herself. She just had to find them.
When she reached the chamber with the sealed body she was shocked, someone was already there!
A black haired man sat there, slumped in a chair.
“You have come” the figure sneered “you look like Miroku. Come now, let us make a young priestess feel welcome.” As the soldiers approached the figure continued to speak “my name is...Hidetoshi. Long ago your mother, Miroku stood in the path to my ambition. I wonder, do you remember that day? We had resurrected Moroyo assuring his return and the thousand year kingdom was within our grasp. If only your mother had not been there to RUIN IT!!”
Cornered by the artificial beings Shion panicked and called forth a power she never realized she had, severing an soldiers arm in mid-swing before cutting the others down.
“Such shock upon your face” the figure rasped “is it possible you are unaware of the power you possess? This is certainly surprising, as old as you are, have you really learned NOTHING?!”
“I KNEW you could do it, priestess. You are strong, you need only believe in yourself" The voice in her head said,giving Shion the strength to struggle to her feet “every day I prepared for this moment, I mastered...”
The figure smirked “the sealing jutsu. Have you now?” he chuckled at this “then by all means, hurry over here and seal me away. If you can.”
“I’m here with you, priestess, maybe not in the physical, but in spirit. I’ll protect you.”
“WE will protect you.”

“WE will protect you.”
Two other voices in her head echoed the other. She could sense the power behind all three and this gave her the strength to move forward.
Just passing the figure he grunted at her “there’s something you should know. It’s actually impossible for me to kill you. And by the same token, you haven’t the power to eliminate ME. Because originally, you and I were one and the same entity.”
Shock filled her “I don’t believe you! You’re just trying to trick me with your lies!!!”
“What reason would I have to lie?”
“It doesn’t matter priestess. Even if-by some chance-it was true, you are you just as he is he. You are two different beings no matter the origin. It changes nothing. I still care about you and so does everyone else.”
Stealing herself Shion moved away from him “I’m going to do it now.”
“The truth is, the seals soul purpose, is to join you and I as one” the figure continued “Miroku, your DEAR mother, accepted that.” She paused, horror filling her. “Yes, that’s right, your mother exists within ME. To prevent ourselves from abusing such enormous power we split into two entities. Two hearts, two beliefs and thus we have lived, forever at odds, staring each other down. Although somewhere down the line one became even more alone, the other the good priestess. We can not be bound by words like light, dark, good, evil....”
“Don’t listen to him, priestess” the OTHER voice said “He is trying to discourage you, scare you. Stay strong, show him the strength of the Priestess Of The Ogre village. I believe in you. We ALL do.”
Strengthening her resolve the priestess started what she needed to bring about her destiny.
*Anime guys*
“I’m coming, priestess” Naruto sent as he ran inside, glad it had been SASUKE that had turned up to help with the fight, although making Shikamaru bring him there through the shadows was a bit much “just hold on.”
“I failed Naruto” she sobbed “ he got in, he’s in his body, I’m a failure.”
“No you are NOT, priestess, there is always hope. If he was really restored, why is he still there? There is a chance. I’m coming.”
She heard him call her name and sobbed “I don’t deserve to protected, by you or anyone else.”
Sensing the danger to her Naruto moved forward, towards her, only to stop as the ground rumbled and shuddered under their feet. Ruptures sprung up and energy flowed out, the ground under her collapsed and swallowed her up. She heard Naruto cry her name, but she was lost in despair and couldn’t answer.
However a tiny bell charm on her jacket glowed brightly.
“There is no need for tears, as long as you possess that light, I can not absorb you into me. But are you sure this is what you wish? You may not like what you see. The end of this world for instance?”
“You can not have her” Naruto snarled as he batted aside the tentacles of energy attacking him “you may think you are some sort of all-powerful being, but a lot has changed since you last walked the earth. Powers rise and fall, other powers take their place and ancient powers are awoken once more. Everything on the surface of this world has a better, something stronger than it and you are just another one of those too stupid to know their time is gone. I will NOT let you have her, just as I will not let you leave this place.”
The evil voice snarled out an laugh “and you A MERE CHILD think you can stop me, HAH! Don’t make me laugh BOY.”
“As I said” Naruto grunted “stupid, If you had any brains in that stupid shell you call a body, you would notice I am not alone.”
“WHAT!” simultaneously as Naruto slammed an rasengan into the energy around him, two OTHER figures, one male and one female were doing the exact same thing.
Power exploded, causing the creature to cry out.
Glancing down at where the young woman he was supposed to protest had disappeared in concern he was surprised to hear her voice IN HIS HEAD “Naruto, you must....LIVE!!” power surged around him, bright, clean, protecting HIM despite his promise to protect her. It filled him in such a way he had never felt before and he almost screamed with it.
What was she doing?!
Any blows from the attacking power bounced off him and some sort of shield while the tentacle that had touched him exploded.
Inside Shion was coming to terms with herself and what she was supposed to do while outside Razeil and Kyuubi landed beside their brother. “This is going to be difficult” Razeil said “He IS powerful.”
“But not as powerful as us” Kyuubi grinned, cracking her knuckles “It has been a while since I have had a good fight. All those idiots before The First were such a bore and not worth my attention.”
“Really” Razeil seemed to roll his eyes at her “sometimes you are so....uncouth. Undoubtedly both Naruto and Kain’s influence.”
Before he could speak again another had, the one they faced “I know that voice, I remember it....” The things attention seemed to shift to the wraith “YOU! IT IS YOU!! AFTER ALL THIS TIME!!! I KNEW IT WAS YOU!! I WILL MAKE YOU PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID TO ME!!!”
Kyuubi blinked at her brother spirit “friend of yours?” and Razeil shrugged casually “I have no idea.”
This seemed to piss the enemy off even further “IF IT WASN’T FOR YOU AND THAT DEGENERATE KAIN I WOULD HAVE LONG RULED THIS WORLD!!! INSTEAD THAT FREAK SENDS ME TO THAT WARPED VERSION OF A WORLD WHERE I HAD TO RUN FROM CREATURES WANTING TO EAT ME!! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT I HAD TO DO TO GET BACK HERE, TO LIVE AGAIN!!!”’
“Sorry, but I do not remember you, at ALL” the wraith said casually, the three separating as an tentacle came down on the spot they were and a scream of fury filled the air. “My betrayal of the vampires who taught us, then Vorador’s murder of six of my fellow guardians. I thought to control those that replaced them but all my plans-ruined by that idiot-and YOU!! You sent me to that place, YOU!! Kain may have killed me, but YOU were the one that forced me there!!”
“Wait” Razeil’s eyes narrowed “Moebius? Moebius the once Timestreamer?!”
The evil laughed, loudly, harder and harder until it managed to speak “yes you fool. Do you REALLY think death could stop me?!”
Naruto laughed “you have no power anymore, old one. The pillars are completely gone, your position taken out from under you by someone more deserving. The only thing you have is the power the THING you called an god gave you before you died. HE is gone as well, long gone.”
The evil laughed “ah but there you are wrong for when I absorb the Priestess Shion I will become what I was always meant to be. And nothing you can do can stop it.” The laugh boarded on maniac “and who knew it would be my own ancestor to give me this. That fool of a woman Aerial believed I loved her, that me, a young handsome guardian was in love with her and wanted to be with her. She bore me child, but then the NERVE of those freaks took it away from me before I could use it for what I needed and worse still, turned my little lover against me, sent her running straight into that idiots arms!!!” he seemed to gain control of himself “well, no matter, with her descendant I can get what I needed now.”
The three exchanged looks. If what the former Timestreamers words were to believed, Meobius convinced Aerial the Balance Guardian he was in love with her to ensure she had a child to use for some nefarious purpose. Only the vampires must have sensed something wrong and had taken the child away for it’s own protection. Aerial then either was convinced or found out about the Timestreamers plans for her and moved her love and affection to Nupraptor. Maybe as Balance Guardian she sensed the growing darkness inside him. Something Meobius had done previously had allowed him to escape the Spectral realm a few hundred years ago and since then he had been looking for the descendant of his and Aerials child.
It explained her ability to see into her own timeline.
He must have found what he needed in Shion’s mother, Miroku, despite her human blood, but something had prevented him from getting what he wanted from her. Perhaps it was Aerial’s power inside her was too strong for him to control, which was why he was seeking her daughter, thinking she would be weaker.
But he would soon be proven wrong. Even with it locked away, Naruto could see her inborn power, it was in her aura. “What?! Is this!?” the evil suddenly said in panic.
“I understand” the young priestess said in her mind “I know now how the power must be used.” With a surge of control she cried “RELEASE!!”
Even Naruto was shocked by what was revealed.
......"Finally, I know my destiny.”
Before she could think, that voice was back “I told you, priestess, there is a difference between destiny and fate. YOU are NOT fated to die, not for a long time. We will protect you even if you tried to protect me.”
“We can protect ourselves” another male voice spoke “we are beyond death as long as us three stay together.”
“Who are you?” she asked.
“We are one with Naruto. He is our brother, but also a part of us. We protect him with our existence and he will protect yours” the female voice spoke, then, in union with the other “We are the link between the land of the living and the land of the dead. Both these worlds are a part of us.”
“I am the Yin.”

“And I am the yang.”
Suddenly she understood, she felt power flowing from the ninja, power like nothing she had ever felt before. Whatever the winged and tailed boy was, the very spirit of the earth blessed him, reached out to lovingly comfort and protect him like an long lost son. His fate stretched out so far she couldn’t even fathom it’s reach and influence. He wouldn’t die here and now, he was too important. Images of his future flashed before her.
Standing in an formal kimono, an beautiful woman on his arm who looked like him except her wings were black feathered, an man with white eyes on her left and another with white skin and long hair, eyes yellow on his right. Behind them was a male the same age with pale white skin and black hair and eyes, an beautiful woman with green eyes and long red hair on HIS arm.
An double wedding, she realized.
In the audience was another male, older than the second but almost his image except his hair was long and black, a woman with blue hair done up in a bun by his side......
A second image, the same young man with pale skin and black hair but his eyes red, facing another the same wearing ancient armor, hair long and thick and wild, one eye ringed violet while the other was closed. He had the older man impaled on an glowing sword that seemed aflame. Behind them Naruto was mirrored the other, HIS twisted sword impaling the figure just inches above the others. Something was happening. An glow about the figure was moving, moving down the sword towards the black haired boy. It thrust its way into his body, causing the body to scream and let go of the weapon. When he rose again, evil was in his face and Shion gasped when she saw the blood and death of thousands in his demonically red eyes. Before she could consider what this meant the vision was playing again the same, only THIS time something was different about the glow. Where before the glow was dark and twisted and SINGULAR, there was two, the dark and twisted one accompanied by a pale white one that seemed to flow-almost like the waves of an ocean-in and out as if trying to get stronger then getting weaker. The young man seemed to see this for his eyes narrowed and he twisted the sword, just slightly, causing the figure to grunt in pain. but the distraction was all the two needed as as she watched the white one raced down the blade instead of the dark one, entering the boy.
Instead of being in pain and letting go the black haired other accepted it, his eyes flashing between red and the same violet as the other. He said something to the impaled other she couldn’t hear, his eyes flashed and the man screamed in agony, going down on one knee as the dark one was sucked into the tailed boy’s sword, completely absorbed by it.
There was a flash, another scream, this one of pure fury and terror and it was gone.
Suddenly, before she could recover from the vision something grasped her and was pulling her loose.
*anime guys*
“I’m with you mother” Shion murmured as the being around them exploded with power, exploded with the force of Naruto’s chakra combined with hers. She had never felt anything like it, it was wind and fire and light and threaded through it all, the cool of death, but not in an threatening way, more like the peace and tranquility she imagined those passing happily must have felt, a change, walking into a new wonderful world where all pain and fear were gone and only peace and happiness remained. Somewhere that made her think of her mother and she was happy when she thought about her mother being there.
“NOOOO!” the evil called helplessly “I was going to rule this world! I was gong to be a god!!”
Naruto landed next to two figures waiting for them, a beautiful red headed woman and an strange.....man. The man spoke and she was shocked when she recognized it “go back where you belong, you old goat. Your time has come and gone.”
“Let’s get out of here” Naruto said and the four nodded, the female disappearing while the male seemed to fade away, leaving Naruto to pick the priestess up and carry her at an dead run out of the mountain while it exploded around them.
“Where did they go?!” Shion yelled over the sound of the volcano erupting.
“Don’t worry priestess, “ neesan just returned to her place inside me. Niisan went to make sure our....mutual enemy got what he deserved.”
“What do you mean?”

In the Spectral realm Razeil phased in and looked around.
He soon spied the glow of an soul, floating there as if confused. He snorted at it “poor, poor Meobius, reduced to the same as everyone else when they go. You must feel so cheated now. You’re great victory ripped from you by a boy barely past an child.”
The soul flew towards him, as if to hurt him, but stopped dead when he pulled his cowl down slightly from his face.
“So, still afraid of destruction. You should be, this time I don’t plan on leaving anything behind” his voice was a smirk though when he spied something behind. He stepped back a bit “but this time, I’m not your instrument of death, that I think belongs to those you deprived of their meal for so long.”
The soul spun, only to find itself trapped by none other than an Vampire Wraith, and though it struggled, though it obviously cursed, it could not escape it’s fate.
Razeil smiled as only he could. He would remember this one, it would escape it’s destruction at his-or Naruto’s-hands for a while for the ‘favor’ it’s hunger gave them.
*************************************************************************************************************************
A safe distance from the now volcano a group of rookies and their sensei’s stood. “Well, it could have played out a lot worse than this, I guess.”
“They ended up creating a new volcano, huh” Lee grinned.
“That dobe” Sasuke smirked “I TOLD him not to destroy anything!”
“What do you expect?” Shikamaru rolled his eyes at it.
Approaching their location, Shion spoke “Naruto you can put me down.” Naruto alighted on an cliff face and gently put her feet down, waiting until she was steady before letting her go. Ignoring those behind them they both turned to look out over the area, each affected by the events that had just happened.
Finally Naruto spoke softly to her “well, I guess your priestess days are over.”
“No” she answered “there will always be a need for one. I realized something in there, it’s the evil that lives in man’s hearts that gave rise to Moroyo. Whose to say that he won’t return to this world again and again?” Naruto smirked from his position slightly behind her, he KNEW that particular evil would not be returning. But she didn’t need to know that if it gave her a sense of purpose.
“And I realized I must be especially careful of an certain genin” her voice took on a playful tone before going serious “but you don’t have to worry, I won’t curse my fate anymore. In fact I think I understand what you were trying to tell me, about the difference between destiny and fate. Destiny is what you make it, while fate is what comes from destiny. I understand now.” Her head turned to smile at him while the others moved to join him “I’m a priestess, that’s MY mission. Isn’t that right, Naruto?”
He smiled back, glad she had finally learned the difference.
She turned back the sight before them and said quiet innocently “then of course there’s my power. It has to be passed on to the next priestess too. How about it, Naruto, you want to help me with that?”
Naruto looked at her and spluttered, backing away from her. While the others laughed at his reaction INCLUDING Shion, he stuttered “Why is it always ME!!”
