Chapter 21: First Impressions Can Be Cruel

"… You wanna repeat that?" Naruto asked with a deadpan expression as the ninja looked upon him nervously.

"It's an a-actress, sir. She's running a muck through the village. Her and her film people. They're going through the village streets atop horse-back and even causing a panic. When we tried to stop them, she fought us, and with us not wanting to hurt her, she got the better of us. I'm so sorry for this failure, Lord Hokage." the ninja said before bowing deeply to Naruto, baring his neck as Naruto blinked.

"Any civilians hurt?" Naruto asked as the ninja shook his head, rising somewhat.

"No sir, the civilians have remained unharmed." the ninja said as Naruto sighed.

"Good, because if even one of them were hurt, I'd be hearing Sakura's Mom in my ear all day long about it." Naruto said as he raked a hand through his mess of blond hair before he started for the door, "Let's go, Hamachi. We have work to do."

Hamachi Hyuga stood there, rooted to the spot as he watched his leader, his King, and basically his Master walk away from him calmly without so much as yelling. He couldn't understand it, even Lord Sarutobi would have chewed him out as both the messenger and one of the failed party. Hell, Lord Uzumaki even knew his name, and not just as a member of the Hyuga clan, but as a person! He didn't know if that was good or bad thing, but he was overjoyed none the less.

"You coming, Hamachi?" Naruto asked as he looked over his shoulder at the stunned ninja. Hamachi snapped out of his stupor as he blinked and shook his head.

"Right away, Lord Hokage!" Hamachi said as rushed to catch up with his young Lord. Even Lord Hiashi bowed to the kid, and now Hamachi could see why.

The world around Konoha was peaceful. The skies were only partly cloudy, the breeze was refreshing, and the streets were… being mobbed by horses and black knights?

Oh… crap…

"Umm… Sasuke…?"

"Yeah, Sakura? What?" Sasuke said as he jerked his arm out of Sakura's grasp.

"Do you see that?" Sakura asked as she pointed at the stampede of horses and riders coming down the street while ninjas were clearing civilians out of the way. Sasuke actually blinked in disbelief before he face-palmed himself.

"Yes… Yes, I do, Sakura. What the hell is going on now?" Sasuke said in an aggravated tone as Sakura still looked mildly stunned.

"Should we… Should we help?" Sakura asked as she took her eyes away from the chaos and looked to Sasuke for his answer.

"Fine, whatever. It beats mulling around the streets like a couple of idiots." Sasuke said as he jumped to the rooftops, not bothering with the fact that Sakura was blushing as she followed.

"He said couple! We are so together now!" Sakura's inner romantic screamed as she giggled.

"Girls are so weird. Thank god Naruto and I are boys." Sasuke thought as he rushed from building to building.

Sasuke jumped off the building just as a woman riding on a white horse jumped over a large gate next to the theatre, riding away. Sasuke was forced to jump out of the way before the band of horses with riders barged through the gate and after the woman. Sakura jumped atop a horse, and knocked it's rider off just as many Naruto's began raining down from the sky above. For a second, Sakura blushed as she remembered having a dream like that, but then her face went completely red as she remembered… other parts of that certain dream involving her, Sasuke, and ten Naruto's…

Sakura was brought out of her reminiscence when she heard groans coming from the knights Sasuke was defeating. She shook her head as she pulled out ninja wire, lassoing the three riders in front of her and their horses while Naruto's clones took down the rest. A Hyuga clan member dropped down from a building, panting heavily as he knelt before one of the Naruto's. Naruto looked at the scene before him before sighing and looking at Sakura and Sasuke.
