Naruto: Rinnegan Chronicles

Priorities

Snow Country: Mountain Tunnel

The sudden sound of a horn echoed through the tunnel as the frozen railroad tracks at their feet began to thaw until the tracks were usable again. Yugito stopped at the sight and looked back towards where the sound originated but only saw a light.

"It's...a train," Koyuki said in confusion. She hadn't seen one since she was a little girl; the only ones used were in Snow Country and they had been frozen over after Doto rose to power.

Yugito shot her a surprised look, "you've got to be kidding me".

The horn echoed again as a large steam-powered train came into view, barrelling down the tracks. "We should get out of here!" Koyuki yelled in surprise.

Yugito turned and ran in the opposite direction, "I hear you!"

She ran—Koyuki on her back—with the train following close behind. Her feet were pumped with chakra to increase her speed, her muscles shifting every time had feet touched the ground. Despite her efforts however the train slowly gained on them; it was then that they saw the end of the tunnel. Yugito didn't stop even as they jumped out of the tunnel and rolled across the snow covered ground.

The train screamed passed but slowed to a stop along the cliff; Koyuki shook her head to get rid of the dizziness clouding her vision and saw that the convoy wasn't there. However stand atop the platform on the train was her uncle...Doto...the man who ordered her father's death.

She didn't know what to say...

"It's been a long time...Koyuki," the Snow Daimyo said into the mike he held with a smirk on his face.

"Doto..." fear consumed Koyuki for that single moment.

"It's been ten years; come now. Don't be shy; let's get a look at that face," Doto said with that same damn smirk.

Yugito stood up in front of the princess causing Doto to narrow his eyes, "hey paedophile. It's against the law to hit on your niece, you bastard".

Doto sneered at her, "mind your place little girl".

"Make me," she growled as her eyes flashed purple.

Before Doto could answer her challenge several logs barrelled down the hill and slammed into the side of the train surprising them. They looked up and saw Sandayu standing with an army of samurai, ready to put an end to Doto once and for all.

"There you have it men! Princess Koyuki is here to watch over us! With her at our side victory is ours!" Sandayu called out and the samurai cheered.

"Sandayu...you idiot; what are you doing?" Koyuki asked barely above a whisper.

"Hear me Doto! We've waited a long time for this day of reckoning to come! Asama Sandayu and fifty loyal warriors stand before you to avenge our beloved ruler Sosetsu-sama! You will die here Doto!" Sandayu shouted raising his weapon into the air.

"I thought you'd destroyed the last of the insurgents," Doto said annoyed.

Nadare bowed his head apologetically, "I'm sorry. It appears we missed a few; we will deal with them now".

Doto just sneered as he gazed at the group, "it doesn't matter. Men such as these can't understand anything but complete annihilation...wipe them out".

"Attack!" Sandayu called out and the group dashed down the hill with their weapons raised.

The side of the train opened however to reveal dozens of tubes along the carriage; a nameless Yuki nin stood at the controls. He turned the gears and suddenly dozens of kunai shot out from the tubes creating a wall of flying kunai. The samurai stopped dead in their tracks as their eyes widened at the approaching swarm of death.
