Naruto grinned as he walked up causing Koyuki to frown at how wrong it looked, "actually it was neither."
The young Daimyo had no time to react as a cloth was smothered over her nose, Koyuki's eyes widened as she tried to struggle. Unfortunately who ever this imposter was far stronger than her and she felt her eyes flutter closed and eventually everything went black.
Naruto grunted as he skidded back from the powerful slash, as soon as his backwards momentum cease Naruto launched himself at his opponent again. A toad with two curved swords Known as Gamataken, because Naruto had no set sword style he was having the toads who could use bladed weapons help him. They had agreed to teach them their style of fighting letting Naruto get accustomed to various Toad Sword Kata's, Naruto found that this was something he enjoyed the most when working with the toads and had created several Kenjutsu moves that he and the toads he worked with used in conjunction. After blocking several more slashes and stabs Naruto and Gamataken jumped apart, bowing to each other.
"Excellent job young one," Gamataken said in a voice that was very similar to a samurai speaking to his apprentice, "you are learning well."
"Thank you Gamataken-sensei," Naruto said as he unsealed a bottle from his wrist and took a long drink. He looked over at the sky and realized that it was getting late, looking over at the sword fighting toad he bowed again, "I must be getting back soon. It was nice studying with you as always."
Gamataken nodded before bowing and returning to the summon world.
"OI! Ero-sensei," Naruto called out to Jiraiya who was over at the small river, no doubt looking at the women who were playing there. Grinning Naruto used the Orokie No Jutsu to transform into Naruko, a female version of Naruto with long blond hair done up in twin pony tails and a figure that could rival Tsunade. Walking behind Jiraiya 'Naruko' put her hands over the white haired perverts eyes and pressed her ample bosom into his back, "Jiraiya-Sama, why watch those girls when you can study me," 'Naruko' said in a sultry and seductive voice that sent chills down Jiraiya's spine.
"I knew you would you come out to play sooner or later you little minx," Jiraiya said with a perverted grin and a large nose bleed as he turned around. Only to be disappointed as Naruto dispelled the transformation.
"Come on perv," Naruto said as he hooked a thumb over his shoulders pointing towards the palace. "Time to go back," turning around Naruto started walking. Jiraiya caught up a moment later grumbling about disrespectful Gaki's not letting an old man get his looks in.
Naruto frowned as another of the maids told Naruto that she had not seen Koyuki anywhere; it was not like her to be late for one of their dates. Deciding to question the person who was the most likely to see Koyuki last the blond made his way towards the director's office, when he got their Naruto knocked on the door. He waited for several minutes and after Receiving no answer he frowned before opening it. The entire office was empty with no trace of the man having even been in it yet, frowning Naruto made his way to the set.
When he got their Naruto eyes widened, everyone was currently lying on the ground unconscious. Moving over to the Director who was slumped in his chair, Naruto unrolled a scroll and unsealed several medical contents and a chemistry set. He took a small blood sample from the man and put it in a dropper, dropping it in a beaker with several chemicals in it. He stirred the contents until it was a light purple and then took out a special piece of paper containing a seal on the inside and unrolled it. The seal was another one of Naruto's inventions and was made to give him a diagnostic of any foreign substances in a person's body, using a sample of some one's blood and mixing it with chakra conductive ink that was normally used for sealing Naruto had been able to use this as a replacement for the diagnostics jutsu that Tsunade and other medics were capable of performing. Placing the blood on it he watched as the symbols for the seal began to move towards the blood sample, the ink coalesced into the center and started forming words listing off the different compounds that were found in the man. One of which Naruto recognized as chloroform and another as a form of nerve gas, narrowing his eyes Naruto made his way to Koyuki's room.
Smashing through the door the Naruto looked around the room and saw the small area near the Mirror/desk combo where Koyuki did her makeup was a bit of a mess with the chair knocked over and several make up kits scattered around it. Walking over to it he channeled a small amount of Kyuubi's chakra into his nose, there were minute traces of chloroform in the air here as well. Naruto mind began to deduce what happened as he realized someone must have infiltrated the palace, snuck in chloroforming Koyuki either sometime before or after letting a bomb of knock out gas in the set room. The blond frowned knowing that sneaking into the palace would be a nearly impossible task, even for some one of Jiraiya or his caliber, meaning there's a traitor either living in the palace or Koyuki's court.
Making several hand seals Naruto slammed his hands into the ground and summoned a small messenger toad, "I want you to go to Jiraiya and tell him that someone has kidnapped Koyuki. Let him know that there is a traitor either within the palace or on the Haru No Kuni council and ask him to find out who it is," Naruto ordered without preamble. The toad realizing this was important nodded and went to find the Toad Sennin.
Naruto used his enhanced senses again to see if there was anything that would help determine who the attacker was, hmm… there is a faint trace of earth… this left several possibilities but one of them stood out to Naruto the most. Crouching down similar to a blood hound Naruto began to sniff out the source of the smell.
Koyuki woke up with a groan; she opened her eyes blearily trying to get the faint blurriness out of her vision. Blinking a few times as she looked around, finding herself in what looked like one of the abandoned factories where Doto had built his war machines. She tried to move a hand to her face but soon found them to be bound, her eyes widened as she tried to get out only to find that she was having no such luck. Looking at herself she found that she was tied to a chair that was bolted to the floor, her ankles were bound to it and her hands were tied around the back. She tried to wiggle her arms and loosen her bindings so she could get free.
"That won't work," Koyuki eyes widened as she looked up to see a man with scraggly black hair and green eyes grinning at her. "That ninja wire is strong enough to hold even the most powerful shinobi; a little spoiled princess like you will have no luck escaping those."
Koyuki glared at the man, knowing that he was the one who most likely kidnapped her, "Who are you? What do you want with me?"
Onato paused as he seemed to think about answering before he shrugged, "I suppose it doesn't matter if I tell you. It's not like your gonna live long anyway, your just a means to an end for me; I'm simply using you to get to the person I want to kill."
"The person you want to kill?" Koyuki questioned as she studied the man, he was definitely a shinobi that much was clear. Except he didn't show any Hitea-ate, meaning he was either a missing ninja or was trying not to implicate his country. "And who is it you want to kill?" she asked, determined to get a much information as possible.
Onato gave her a grin that sent chills down her spine, "why I'm gonna kill your boyfriend of course!"
"Naruto…" Koyuki breathed as her eyes widened.
"That's right," Onato laughed, "I'm finally gonna get my revenge by killing the son of 'that' man! Then I'm gonna kill you…" he walked up to her and Koyuki began to fight with her bindings even more. "It's a shame I gotta kill you though, you're quite the specimen." he trailed a finger along her jaw but was forced to pull it back when Koyuki tried to bite it, "Haha! And feisty too it seems. Hmm… perhaps after this is over I'll have some fun before I kill you."
Koyuki shuddered at the tone in the man's voice; it was a tone that had insanity mixed in with lust; obviously this man had lost his mind a long time ago.
