Book 1: The Scarlet Thread (Kakashi Love Story)

Naruto The Movie: Guardians of the Crescent Moon Kingdom, Part 2

Izayoi's P. O. V:

Naruto, Sakura, Lee, Hiro, Kai, Amaya, Kakashi and I watch as Michiru writes down the check for the circus.

"Is that for real?!" A performer exclaims, frozen in shock.

"Hey! Snap out of it, buddy! It'll be alright!" His friend says as the showman trembles before the Prince.

"You can cash that as soon as we get to the island, okay?" Michiru says to him, and the poor blonde man shakily nods his head.

I stand beside my husband as we watch the performers pack up the tent, and put the animals away. Naruto says in awe, "Amazing. This guy bought the whole circus?"

A woman leads a zebra past us. Behind them Chamu lounges on a crate under a tree and Kiki munches on an apple next to him.

Chamu opens his mouth as he roars and Kiki goes to feed him his apple, but pauses as Michiru, Hikaru and the showman walk past wth another performer.

"Well, to be honest, I've always wanted to play in the Land of the Moon at the likes from all I've heard," The showman was saying. "Err, don't worry, Your Highness! We'll give you a great show! You won't regret it!"

🗡🗡🗡

We continue travelling once the tent was packed up, and reach a dock awhile later.

An old man says to Michiru, "My Prince, I'm afraid a storm at sea has prevented the royal yacht from meeting us here as expected. I've had to make provisional arrangements for another ship to take us home. Not to worry. It won't be long."

Michiru tells him assuringly, "Very well. In the meantime, I've got an important call to make here, anyway."

Michiru had bought a huge bunch of flowers as we make our way to our next destination. The carriage stops outside a lovely house with a vegetable garden in front. In that garden, kneels a woman with long brown hair wearing a sleeveless green dress.

I stand next to Kakashi as the woman gets to her feet and turns towards us, a straw basket in hand. Michiru hums happily as he exits the carriage with the flowers in his arms.

The woman goes up to the house as Michiru smiles widely at her. He greets, "How wonderful to see you! Amayo!"

Amayo gasps and drops the basket upon seeing Hikaru, as the boy steps down from the carriage. She steps on a berry as she runs past Michiru.

Michiru throws you his arms as he exclaims, "Oh, my honey!" But the woman runs right past him to his son, and squats down in front of him.

"Hikaru?! Is that you?! Hikaru!" Amayo sobs as she throws her arms around the surprised boy. "My beautiful boy!"

Then she must be Michiru's wife...

Naruto says, "Huh?! Wait, that lady's the Prince's wife?!"

Amayo pulls back and rests her hands on Hikaru's shoulders. She says happily, "Look at you, Hikaru. You've grown!" Michiru goes up to her and clears his throat while waving a bouquet of roses at the pretty brunette. She gives him an arched eyebrow as Amayo turns her head to him. "Who are you?"

Michiru gasps in shock and says in a hurt tone, dropping half the flowers, "How can you say that, Amayo?! Don't you recognise me?!"

"Impossible...! Michiru?" Amayo muses, studying him.

"Of course it's me!"

Amayo gasps as she rapidly shakes her head, eyes turning to stunned, animated white circles, "What?! No! No, I don't believe you!" She hugs her son. "You're too fat!"
