Chapter 16 The plan

"Damn. We lost them." Nadare said as he looked at the boat that set off.

"And how did you get trapped in your own Jutsu?"Nadare asked as he and Mizore looked at Fubuki who was trapped in an ice prison.

Mizore pulled out a talisman that generates heat as the ice started to melt. Fubuki who was set free said.

"That kid. That red hair kid got the ability to copy any Jutsu just by seeing others use it," she said.

"Ice prison. I never thought that it would be a double-edged sword for us." Mizore said.

Ice prison is a Jutsu that manipulates the ice with the use of chakra so it bypasses the defence of the chakra armour.

"I see that's how you were trapped in the ice prison. We should not let our guard down just yet. We might still get another chance to get the hex crystal." Nadare said to his men.

Back on the boat.

"Kakashi sensei. Can you please explain to us what is going on?" Sakura asked.

"It seems like I can not hide her identity anymore," Kakashi said.

"Yukie Fujikaze is just an alias. And her true identity is Kazahana Koyuki." Kakashi said.

"The former heir to the land of snow?"Kin asked.

"You know?"Kakashi was surprised.

"Princess. That explains her arrogance." Ino said. Sakura was shocked by the sudden revelation.

"I have read the history of the land of snow from a few books that lady Tsunade gave me." Kin said.

"Good. So I don't need to explain to you anymore." Kakashi said.

"But we don't know so can you please explain to us Kakashi sensei," Sakura said.

"Fine. You see a few years ago. I was sent to the land of snow to help the Daimyo of the land fight against one of his relatives that seek his place. However, I was not strong enough back then to lead them to victory as the castle fell. But the daimyo wasn't mad that I failed instead he made his final request to me. To escort the Princess. His only daughter out of this land. So I did." Kakashi said.

"So you broke one of the village's rules?" Kin asked.

"You know not everything is about the rules. Sometimes you have to adjust them to make the most out of any situation." Sakura said to him.

"Like how your beloved Sasuke did?"Kin replied.

Causing sakura to get mad as she tightly holds her fists like she was about to punch someone.

"So Kakashi sensei. Did you know that she was a princess the moment we got the mission?" Ino asked to ease up the tension between Kin and Sakura.

"No. I just found out. I knew that she was hiding something but I didn't think this was what she was hiding." Kakashi said.

"And When I found out that the Princess was alive I rejoiced." One of her retainers who was disguising himself as a worker on the movie set said.

"I should have died back then," Kazahana said as she stands near the entrance of the door where the ninjas were talking from.

"You must not say that princess. We prayed and hoped that you were alive." the man said.

"I am alive but I may as have been dead." She said.

"After that day my tears dried up," she said as she looked at them.

"Huh then all of the time you were deceiving us." the other man who worked on the set asked.

"I am deeply sorry but this is for the future of the land of snow. Please overthrow Doto(the current daimyo of the land of snow) and take back your rightful place." the man said as he bowed himself in front of Kazahana.

Kazahana just look at him without replying.

"I think we should help out." Kin said to Kakashi as he subtly asked for his permission.

"What's gotten into you? I thought you only care about your mission and the village." Sakura said as she mocked Kin.

"In exchange, you will have to help us get the technology that the three ninjas used," Kin told her.

"Ahhh. I can't believe I am going to help this child overthrow a government." Kakashi said as he sighed.

"Kakashi sense? You are seriously not going to."Sakura said in shock.

"There is no way for her to survive as long as the daimyo of the land lives. So the only way we can clear our mission is to."

"Overthrow the person that seized the throne in the first place." Ino completed Kakashi's words.

Kazahana looked at the four ninjas that are already deciding her fate without having to listen to any of her words.

"Hey what do you think you are saying? There is no way this is going to work." Kazahana yelled at them.

"We will not know unless we try." The director who was just sitting without saying a word finally intervened with her.

"So it is decided that we will resume filming." the director said.

"But." someone who works on the movie wanted to object to this thinking that it will be too risky.

"Think about it. When will we get another chance to film a movie about saving a real Princess?" The director said.

"We will make our own happy ending." One of the workers said as everyone apart from Kazahana got up and leave the room.

"We are going to get you your throne back. Whether you like it or not. So just shut up and go with the flow." Kin whispered into her ears as he put his hand on her shoulder before he left.

At that moment in time, Kazahana knew that the person that was in from of her was only there for himself and doesn't care about what she thought.

Thinking back to her situation she didn't think her Saviour was an angel that God sent to wipe out all her worries or the devil that she have to make a deal with to get a happy ending.
