Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Princess and Warrior. Enjoy the 1000- word chapter. I don't own Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto, Viz Media and a few others do.

(Land of Waves, 1 day before bridge showdown.)

Kaguya and Fuya removed their boots as they walked in and sat down, Fuya cracking his neck as he did so before turning to Naruto.

"So, while we were dealing with a group of thugs, you guys were dealing with a trio of skilled Mist Ninjas? Somehow I think we still got the short end of the stick here."

Fuya said as Naruto grinned and rubbed the back of his head as he spoke up, turning to face his fellow Genin as he did so.

"What makes you say that? We nearly got our asses kicked while you guys had to deal with only a group of thugs."

Naruto asked as Fuya rolled his eyes before responding.

"Because we still had more to deal with, yet the guys we had to deal with weren't as much trouble as the guys you had to deal with…. It seemed more like they were trying to keep us from helping you then trying to kill us… Besides, why would a Mist Ninja attack just you guys if we were the easier target?"

Fuya asked as Kaguya rolled her head, she cracked her knuckles and then pulled off her gloves to rub her hands before she spoke up.

"What I think Fuya means is, it's a bit odd that the Mist Ninja didn't go after us first, we were cut off and in danger and yet they didn't try and take us out before trying to finish off you guys…. Something I find odd is why Rouge Ninja would go after us just to mug an old man… Just how important is this guy?"

Kaguya asked as Naruto was about to speak up when Hiroki spoke up behind them.

"Fuya, it doesn't matter entirely to you how important this is… At least not yet, I'm going to talk to him and Kakashi… For now, you and Kaguya should rest and prepare for the trip back home… We might not have a long trip home but if we have to deal with more thugs, you two need your Chakra at max."

Hiroki said as Fuya nodded as Kaguya once again spoke up as Hiroki went to leave the room.

"To be fair though, Sensei… We do somewhat have a right to know more about our mission… This was supposed to be a Rank C escort mission… We were expecting to face Bandits…. Armed Rouge Ninjas weren't something we were expecting…. And if team 7 ran into high ranking Mist Ninjas, it means whoever is after Tazuna means business… I honestly don't think whoever is going after him is a bandit leader…."

Kaguya said as Hiroki was silent before speaking as he walked out of the room.

"Let me worry about that, Genin, get some rest for now."

Hiroki said as Kaguya turned to Fuya before speaking.

"I'm not trying to be rude, Fuya… I know I'm a princess and all that but I'm also a ninja…. Which also means I know when someone isn't telling us something, Sakura, Sasuke… Don't you guys know anything?"

Kaguya asked as she turned to the other Genin in the room, Sasuke looked away with a huff, Sakura nervously looked around the room before speaking.

"You guys will find out soon enough, Fuya… Your highness… I'm sorry I can't say a lot right now…. But you guys will know soon enough."

Sakura said as Kaguya sighed and rubbed her head before rubbing her feet as Fuya spoke up at that moment before looking around as he did so.

"Well, it seems we will find out soon enough…. It seems that our Sensei's are angry about something… Maybe we've been lied to more than it seems…. If that's the case then we should be paid for it…. Assuming we are getting paid at all for this."

Fuya put in as Kaguya sighed, they'd be paid even if their target didn't pay them, their home would pay them for their mission… It would annoy them but as a princess, Kaguya knew that they would get money or a reward either way.

"Fuya, if they don't pay us now, the Village will, we've done them a C Rank mission… Fuya, didn't you say you were glad to get this mission either way because it would mean we get to see some action, hmm?"

The Otsutsuki purred as Fuya rolled his eyes before slightly smiling as he spoke up to respond to the princess's question.

"Yes, I did…. But that doesn't mean we should be treated like fools just because we're rookies…. Kaguya, you are one of the top ninjas from the academy… Both of us know there is something they aren't telling us… Anyway, so…. Anyone else think the big bad guy who's trying to kill the bridge maker is going to strike again?"

Fuya asked before continuing to speak a second later.

"If he's willing to fight 5 Genin and 2 Jonin then we have to be on our guard more than ever…. Guys like this don't go down easily…. But I don't know if they guy who we're going to face is a Missing Nin himself."

Fuya said as Kaguya opened her eyes, she had been meditating a moment, Fuya saw her skin grow paler and almost thought he saw a third eye on her forehead before it vanished a second later.

"We need to go to the bridge site, I can sense whoever wants us there is already there…. Perhaps it will give us a few answers."

Kaguya said as Fuya nodded as both pulled on their shoes and Kaguya pulled on her gloves.

"Kaguya…."

Sakura said as Kaguya glared at her before speaking.

"We will be back in a few hours…. Trust us, we can handle this."

Fuya said as the two-left right as Hiroki walked into the room at the moment.
