There a other country and rather massive one at that, Many had called it The West but its place that no one would dare go to since the everyone that lived in the West are unbelievably strong and at some point The West had begin a never ending War which the 5 Elemental Countries feared of what would happen if the West's war comes over to they side and so they build a giant wall that cut off everything from The West and it's war for countless years.

However That war ended 8 years ago and the new Empire that's called The Phoenix Empire had rise up from the ashes of the war and a leader who had lead them into peace, Not many who this person is or where this person come from expect for the people of the West, One this person as well the leader of the Phoenix Empire, Is a woman, two, even since she take the throne she begin wearing a red mask with makings, no eye holes and whats more it covers up her whole head but however she only wears it to outsiders as her only show her face to her people and trusted allies.

And one final thing, She's extremely strong and she has to since she's ruling a whole country after all and her rule only begin 6 years ago just about the same time the war ended.

Now then lets see of what is going on in the Royal Palace of the Phoenix Empire with they newly receive peace

The West, The Palace of the Phoenix Empire, Morning

A woman with long light purple hair standing in front two large doors as she knocking on them "Empress-sama Its time to wake up and begin your daily routine!" said the woman as keeps knocking on the door in order wake up the Empress of the west yet nothing is happening as the woman is slowly getting angry as a demonic visage with a hannya appearing above her head until someone come up to her after seeing there "hey Miya-san good morning!" said other whole woman whose wearing a white Gi and a red skirt which her outfit is made for fighting as it finally shows off her very, very developed and curvaceous body.

Whats more she's not noticing the Hannya that the woman called Miya has on her "oh just trying wake up Empress-sama as she hasn't wake up yet Musubi" said Miya as she about to cut down the sword that appeared out of nowhere but however "But Empress-sama isn't in her room since I see her leaving the palace for a walk" said Musbi who appearing that there nothing wrong at all.

Not only that Miya drops her arms down while still holding the sword, The Hannya somehow get even bigger then it was before as Musubi is still not noticing it all as she thinking about training right now to stronger "well I have to go training is about to time!" said Musbi as she leaves Miya by herself.

Meanwhile at the Palace's Meeting Room

In this room is where a very large round table held at as many people are sitting down as they getting ready for this morning meeting but however all of them felt huge KI and they know why "Looks she did it again, Making Miya-san angry without telling her where she's going" said a man with white hair with red coat with a silver massive claymore with a heavy double-edged blade as it resting against his chair, As the White hair man laughs as he has his feet on the table along a few others in the room "yes she does the habit of doing that after all" said other man who has no hair all but however he has a blue arrow on it as he wearing monk like clothes along a staff at his side and .

"Indeed, I sometime wonder when Miya-san will realize that?" said a man with long sliver hair with glowing green cat like eyes as he wearing long black coat with silver pauldrons, black boots and black trousers and beside him is a seven-foot long katana as he siting down on his chair as everyone else saying things like 'wonder where Empress-same went' or 'should we start without her?' and other things, until "I think we should wait since this very important since it involves with the upcoming tournament thats held here after all" said the guy with red coat.

"Right, And I hear some of our students are signing up" say other man as everyone are saying, 'yes' or 'of course' until "I believe it's one of there times we make a 'bet' to see which students is stronger" said the long sliver hair man as the short sliver hair say, "oh? What do you have in Mr One Winged Angel" as the long sliver hair man smirks "so you are interested Devil Hunter" as everyone are also interested in this bet?

Outside of the Palace, The Main streets of the Phoenix Empire

At the streets of the empire, Its full of many people, but not just humans, there demons, subhumans, you name it, and right now all of them what everyone do in the mornings, try ever get breakfast, a walk or run around or just opening up shop, and so on.

And right now everyone are gathering up in line cause they see a woman wearing a black royal robe which hides her figure very well with red colored dragons them and lines along with combat boots and black combat gloves and all red mask with black marking on it as it hanging onto her side by a chain and whats more she has short blonde hair with blue eyes and 3 whisker like marks on each side of her face, Empress is greeting everyone as she walks by them along with pair of wolves one grey fur and other brown, and both of them are larger then normal wolves since they are Dire Wolves, and they following the Empress, As each villager say "Good morning Lady Empress!" say one "Morning Empress" say other "oh my goodness, good morning my Empress" say an elderly man while a few children come up to her with flowers in they hands.

"For you Empress-sama" said all the children as the Empress bends down as the dire wolves stand next to her and smelling them as she takes the flowers with a smile on her "oh thank you little ones, they so beautiful, Now then do you have classes starting soon? So run along now or else all of you will be in big trouble" said the Empress as the children nods to her as they start running, She watching the kids run with a smile but then "Lady Naruko! There you are!" said a voice as the Empress or rather Naruko turns toward the person who calls out to her.

And see one of her two head butlers, A man with black hair, red eyes, and pale skin, He typically dresses in a butler's outfit, which consists of black trousers, a six-button double-breasted tailcoat, and a gray vest and white gloves, he is "oh Sebastian, I have to say this is the quickest you ever found, I think you just broken your all time record" said Naruko whose bit cheerly about it as she not noticing that all the woman around are blushing at the sight of Sebastian since he is a very handsome man after all.

"While I do agree upon that But Lady Naruko we must return to the Palace as you have a meeting with the Generals about the upcoming tournament and not only that, it seems that you might have upset Musbi-san once again" said Sebastian as Naruko sweat drops upon that as she a bit scared "Really? All because I went for a walk? Sighs oh well duty calls, Come on guys we heading home now" say Naruko as she telling her Dire Wolves as they wagging they tails in happy.

As they heading back to the palace as Naruko can't held but remember years ago she used to be a Kunoichi of her former home village, Konoha and how loyal she used to toward that village as well remember wearing that horrible orange jumpsuit until that day when she went on that mission to bring back her former teammate who trying become rouge and joining one of Konoha's greatest emery, Orochimaru The Snake Sannin, And she wasn't alone on that mission as there were 4 more on that 5 member team, But each them had to stop Orochimaru's Elite bodyguards know as Sound Four or rather Sound 5 cause later on the 5th member of the elite bodyguards had show up and Naruko had to take him on but thankfully.

Someone show who wearing green jump with orange leg warmers, Which allows her go after her teammate who by the way was Sasuke Uchina, And both them had meet up at a place called the Valley of the End and of course Nauko tries to talk him to convince him to return to Konoha but it fail to deaf eyes as he wanted to fight her as well not wanting to return there, And seeing that she had no choose to fight him so that she could drag him back.

And so they fight, As they fight of what it seen to be forever as both of them get badly injured during all of it, that is until Naruko was victorious and drags Sasuke by carrying him onto her back and head toward Konoha while it was raining on them and one would think she would be beyond tired and exhausted and covering in bruises from that fight, She still more then enough Energy and strength to walk back to they home.

Upon arriving The Gates of Konoha and expecting a mission success, But it turn for the worse as members of the civilian council along with a few Jounins and what happen next, Naruko gets drags in by the Jounin that are following the orders of the Civilian Council members to the meeting is where the blonde girl will be judge and whats more they claimed that Tsunade aka the Hokage 'give them permission to do this' or so say they.

Now in the meeting room inside of the Hokage tower, And Naruko founds herself hold down by the Jounins as other had taken the unconscious Sasuke to the hospital, And right there Naruko days as a Kunoichi of Konoha are over as one of the member of the council told her for hurting they precious Uchina, Even though she was allow to since Sasuke wasn't will to return, But they don't care as they found her unworthily to be Kunoichi or anything as they banish her from the Konoha and she ever to return she will be killed on sight.

And Naruko at that time couldn't believe it, She get banish for just following orders and not only that her dream of becoming had shattered into pieces never able to fix, And right their she started to cry as the Civilian council order the two Jounin to throw her out of the village, thus not allowing her to say her goodbyes to anyone as she gets drag toward the gates of Konoha while hearing the laugh of the Civilian Council as they saying 'we finally get rip of the demon!' along other things.

Naruko shake out of her memories cause one of her dire wolves lightly push her to see that they arrived at the front the Palace so she walk up the Huge doors with the guards on stand by, Upon seeing Naruko they open the doors for "Welcome back Empress Naruko" said both Guards as Naruko say "thank you and keep up good job and don't forget to take a break" as she head inside and walks toward the meeting room where her generals are waiting for her.

20 minutes later at the Meeting Room

Upon entering the room, Naruto gets greeted by her generals as each of them do it in they own way as Naruko sits upon her sit of the table, "All right, Begin this Morning's meeting, Who wants start with they reports before anything else?" said Naruko had become serious along with her face and tone, "Very well, I will go first" say the monk with the blue arrow on his head as he stands up from his sit "In the Bending Faction, We getting 50 new recruits each month and the training new benders are running along well" said the monk whose named Aang, "thats wonderful Master Aang and keep going the best as you can and also hows your future successor? Korra Is it?" said Naruko as she wants to the future leader of the Bender Faction.

Aang sweats drops slightly as he say in a worried tone "well She rough on the edges but she's a good girl deep down in despite how tough she acts and her training are going somewhat well even thought she's a bit inpatient" as Naruko giggles a bit "Well she is what? 14 years old? All teenagers are like that" said Naruko as Aang nods "true and thats it for my report on my side" said Aang as he sits down as other sit up and this it's the man with the short sliver hair and red coat "I see that it's your turn Dante, Tell me whats your report of the Devil May Cry Faction?" say Naruto as she wants to hear the report from there.

"Well At this moment my Faction looking for rouge demons that had escape during the end days of the War and of course to Capture them but all else fails we just kill them before they could harm any citizens" said Dante as Naruko "I see, Dante do make sure they don't warm anyone if their were to attack here and have your hunters do help everyone move away from the danger" Said Naruko as Dante "well do Miss Empress, On other note, New trainees are doing all right even though my brother is the one training them" said Dante.

"Right, Since you're not the training type yet you have only one student and I have to say he's very stubborn one that boy" said Naruko as Dante laughs a bit about it "Yeah Nero is Stubborn but also hot head, But why is he's so different then his dad I may never know" say Dante as Naruko tries to understand how Nero has Vergil aka Dante's twin bother as his father, "Well thats all I got for now" say Dante as he sits down and place his feet onto the table as he waits for this meeting to finish.

Then "Now then, I do believe it's my turn" said a deep yet powerful voice as a very large elderly man with white crescent-shaped mustache along with a black headband thats covers up his head, with a white coat like a cape but no shirt as his chest has scars that he got though many years of battle in the war and his name is Edward Newgate or better known as Whitebeard speck up and whats more he doesn't have to stand since he's tallest one in the room "Navy Grand Commander Whitebeard, Hows everything in your Faction?" said Naruko as she wants to hows the navy part of her empire.

"Same always, Training and teaching there new wet behind ears trainees how steer the ships from the smallest to the biggest" said Whitebeard as he rubs his neck a little as Naruko "I get the feeling it's them again? Luffy and his friends?" said Naruko as she knows about the trouble Luffy makes "yes that little Monkey will be the death of me I swear, I don't know how Ace puts up with him" said Whitebeard as he wonders how his star student puts with him as "well they are brothers after all" said Naruko as Whitebeard let out a big sigh "you have a point their, Maybe I should just let his grandfather handle him".

And with that ends with Whitebeard's report, And so everyone give they own reports to Naruko and once they are finished they begin the next part of the meeting, The Upcoming Tournament they going to host here in the West Empire, "Now then let's start with security during the Tournament, I will have Sephiroth's Soldier and Dante's Devil May Cry Factions be on guard in case of any attacks" said Naruko As Dante and Sephiroth nods as they will in form they faction about it, As she goes on what each Faction of the empire will do during the Tournament and once thats done.

"Now then, Who do we send to delivery the invitations though our neighbors? the Elemental Countries" said one of the generals as they think about it, They could send of they best Shinobi to go their but then "I will go then" said Naruko as everyone right away went against it since they fear for her safety not just as they empress but a friend and comrade even they know she's the strongest among them "no way! that's out of the question Empress-sama!" say other of the generals "you could be assassinated while you are there!" said other.

Naruko sighs and say "guys look I know you worried about me but I can take care of myself and besides I'm not going by myself, I'm bring Selvaria with me" said Naruko as she looks toward a woman with long sliver hair with red eyes and wearing a black uniform with a small cape and whats more she's the top generals as well the most loyal to Naruko since the blonde empress save her during the war long ago.

"Oh thats good to hear" say one as everyone else are feeling at ease, "and a few of member of the Creed Faction just in case someone tries to kill me from the shadows" said Naruko as she see the leader of the Creed Faction nods to that as he would send couple of them to go with her.

"And with that this meeting had adjourned" Said Naruko as everyone get up from they sits as each of them tell her to be careful on the way to Elemental Countries leaving only Naruko, her Dire wolves, Sebastian and Selvaria, "Selvaria meet me at the airship within an hour" said Naruko as Selvaria nods as she does a slightly bow to Naruko "of Course Empress-sama" said Selvaria as she leaves to get prepare for the trip, "All right then I should inform everyone I will be gone for a few days and leave a clone to handle the paperwork" said Naruko "Of course Lady Naruko, Is there anything else?" said Sebastian As Naruko knees down to her Dire Wolves and starts patting them "yes, make sure my Dire Wolves are feed and have they walks as they don't like being inside too long" said Naruko as she rubbing the fur of the two Dire Wolves with he right now.

"It will be done Lady Naruko, While we at it, What about Musbi-san? Cause right at this moment she looking for you" said Sebastian as Naruko starts sweating about it "w well I will deal with her when I get back!" said Naruko as she quick gets up and grabs her mask "anyway I need to get going!" said Naruto as she place her mask on as the chain veil come out of the mask as it starts covering all of Naruko's hair until the blonde hair can't seen though the thickness of the chain veils all the way to her neck.

Then Naruko activated a seal that she has on the masked, What the Seal does is to change her voice like that no one in the Elemental Countries won't know who she is and she plans to long as possible, "Now then, I will go on my way, And please inform me in case of major trouble were to happen while I'm gone" said Naruko under her disguise voice as she head toward the ship while creating a clone for the paperwork and Naruko makes sure it would last until she returns.

Back of the Palace, Docking

Naruko with her mask on arrived at the docking bare that houses both air and sea ships as she see Selvaria along with a few members of the Creed Faction with they hoods on in order to hide they faces as they waiting for Naruko as Selvaria "Empress-sama! The Airship, The Queen of the Air and its crew are ready and waiting upon your command" said as she see Naruko with her mask on nods, "Very well And the Captai-" before she could finish, "WHY DO YOU WAKE ME UP THIS DAMN EARLY AND I DON'T GIVE A FLYING ASS OF WHO IT IS!" yelled an angry man who as has blonde hair with goggles and he's wearing a white shirt with a blue pants along with a spear as his weapon of choose, His Name Is Cid and he's an angry man.

"Sorry for waking you up this early Cid, I know that you really hate morning and prefer waking at noon, But we have places to go and you're the only one who could plot The Queen of the Air" said Naruko as Cid see her and sigh as he calms down a bit "All right then since you apologize so I will let it slide this once you get me? Anyway where are we heading your Highness" said Cid as he has his arm cross as Naruko informs where they need to go and why she needs to go there.

"To the Elemental Countries? Thats a Day or two flight from there and back, for the glory of the Empire we head over their but Heres a question for you Empress, Are you even ready to head to that place?" said Cid as he wants to if Naruko could go to the place that she had once called home, "Yes, I'm after all that place is no longer my home" said Naruko as Cid lights a cigarette "alright then, YOU LOT! GET YOUR ASSES ON THE ABOARD OR ELSE WE LEAVE WITHOUT YOU! AND I WON'T TURN BACK TO PICK YOU UP!" yelled as he telling all the crew mates to get on aboard to the ship as Naruko along with Selbaria and the few members of the Creed Faction walk inside of the ship.

A few minutes later

After getting the engines ready along with everyone getting onto they sits and everyone from outside of the ship are untiring the rope thats holding it like that nothing would hold it down to the ground, And The Queen of the Air begin lift off as it move up into the air.

On the Streets of the Phoenix Empire

The people stop of what they doing as they see a very large Blimp with Mark of the of a Phoenix on the side, They know right away it's The Queen of the Air taking flight, So everyone knows that the Empress will be away for a while so all of them wave they byes to the ship.

In The ship

Naruko looks down from the ship and see her people waving they byes to her, that brings a smile under her mask, "We will be back before you know it Empress Naruko, Don't you worry" said Cid whose on the wheel as Naruko nods "Your right Cid, Anyway our first stop will be Sunagakure In the Land of the Wind" said Naruko as Cid said "hold on isn't that place covering in sand? And not only that they are one of two allies we have outside of the West" wit Naruko "That is correct Cid" said Naruko "Well all right then, I swear all this trouble just for a Tournament" said Cid as he steer the blimp toward where Sunagakure is but first they need to head over to the wall.

A day later, Elemental Countries:Land of Wind, Sunagakure

A group of Suna ninja waiting at the front the entrance of the village and with them is they Kage, They 5th Kazekage whose name is Gaara as he wearing his kage Rope white and green with red hair and a tattoo Kanji of "love' on his forehead.

And why is he their instant of in his office? Well he receive a message from the Empire of the West that Empress is on her way to his village though her airship for something, So now he and his ninja are waiting, "Gaara" someone called him out and turn to see his sister walking up to him as she wearing the Sunagakure's jounin outfit with a large battle fan on her back and her hair is sadly blonde with four consecutive ponytails,Her name is Temari "is it true that the Empress of the West is on her way here?" said Temari as she see her brother/leader nods to that.

"Yes, but for what reason? I don't know, Maybe she will inform us when she appears" said Gaara and on cue, The Airship, The Queen of the Air appeared above them as a door opens from the bottom part of the Blimp as rope drop down as Gaara and everyone see Selvaria going down by rope, Then lands on the ground "General Selvaria welcome to Sunagakure, And where is the Empress?" said Temari as Selvaria points up and everyone look up and well.

They See the Empress atop of her airship as she looking at the village of Sunagakure, "What is she doing?!" said Temari as she wonders if the Empress is crazy or something but she won't say it out loud since they are allies after all, "Empress-sama had sense something that doesn't belong so she trying found it" said Selvaria, As both Garra and Temari couldn't help but feel like there enemies are they way here.

The Empress keeps looking for what she had sense until she spots something very far away, Even though it's very hard to see what it is but she can detailed the color of it and it's white and there nothing that is white at this part of the Land of Wild since it's covering in sand, "I see you there" said the Empress as she rise up her arm as a web of sealing marks appearing onto her skin and clothes.

"Release Seal Number 8, Lance of Destruction Lighting" said the Empress as a weapon with a black stuff with decorated circular wheel with a lighting bolt on it as it connects the shaft with the spear heads as the blades are black with a white edges, And whats more it's generating a deal amount of lighting all on its own and thats' without any Charka appeared , Everyone see the weapon that the Empress holds, "Selvaria j just what is that weapon!" said Temari as she never seen anything like it, "That's one of Empress's Arsenal of destructive weapons, There 18 of them and Empress has them all cause they are far too powerful and dangerous to left in some vault, That's why she carries them in seals that she had place onto her body" said Selvaria as Temari couldn't believed of what she hearing from her own ears.

As The Empress twirls it allowing it to generating even more lighting onto the lance until she stops spinning it as she gets into the throwing pose with the lance in hand as she adding in her Charka, "all of you better to take cover right now" said the Empress as she about to throw the lance as Selvaria nods and yells out "Everyone do as she says! that Lance alone could take down a huge army and a fortress with just one throw!" as every Suna Shinobi about to do so as Gaara created a sand wall around everyone.

As Empress throws the Lance of Destruction Lighting, Upon letting it go as it being thrown from the Empress, The lance Instantly disappeared follow by a great force of wind blowing everything away as the blimp is move by it as well a sound of lighting that could be heard for miles on end, As the Lance is breaking the sound barrier as it heading toward its Target.

Where the Target is

A man with blonde hair with upward pony tail wearing a black coat with red clouds on it with an eye scope on his left, And what's more he's riding the sky on a white looking bird, "Man Sasori is really inpatient guy but whatever just long as we get Th- huh? what is that?" said the blonde man whose named is Deidara as he see something heading toward him and it's coming in fast, So he quickly tried to use his eye scope and see a lance covering in lighting, "W What is that! I have get out of it's way or els-" but it was too late Deidara.

Cause the Lance hits him right to his chest thus pushing him off the 'bird' in watch the force behind was too great that it make the 'bird' explode thus making Deidara falling down to the ground and he tries to do something but the lighting that's coming from it making his body very numb as blood coming out of his mouth, "d damn it what the hell is thing!" said Deidara who is wondering where this weapon come from and he get his answer then.

"That would my Lance of Destruction Lighting, And right about now lighting that's pulsing into your body since its inside of your chest is making your body very numb and that's just the small amount of it, Wait and see what a much larger amount does" said a voice as Deidara see a woman with a red mask and black clothing with red dragons on appeared on him as she holding the lance that still in his chest, "w who the fuck are you?!" said Deidara as he once again tries do something but his arms aren't responding to him.

"Sorry I don't give out my name too easily, But there something you can tell me and that's Empress of the Phoenix Empire and if you're wondering where, It's in the West" said the Empress as both of them still falling, As a bit more blood coming out of Deidara's mouth "w wait y your from the West? I thought you people don't get involved with here cause you guys are at war" Deidara as both of them are very close to the ground now as Empress "that war ended long time ago, Where have you lived in? A cave? But it doesn't matter cause " pulls out the lance from Deidara's chest who yells in pain from it, " You're going to died now but to make sure cause I know who you are and you can do" said Empress as she used the blades of the lance and cuts off both of Deidara who screams even more in pain as he yells at her "YOUR BITCH!".

"Like I haven't heard that one before" said The Empress as she disappeared into flash of black light, Leaving only Deidara fall to his head and he can't do anything about it and make it worse for him, He didn't get to get out in a bang as he hits the ground.

Back at Sunagakure

Everyone saw a flash of black light as it turn out to be The Empress with her Lance in hand "take cares of that, Sorry about that, it was that there someone was going to attack your village and he was wearing a coat with red clouds" said Empress as Temari say, "The Akatsuki! You easily take down an S-rank missing Shinobi! You Westerns are something else" said Temari who is indeed impressed, "Enough of that, Anyway today I come personal to invite you the Kazekage and your village best fighter to our first even tournament that will be held at The Phoenix Empire" said Empress as Gaara "really? Why are you doing that?" say as he wonders why an empire with a lot of power such as the Phoenix Empire hold such a thing?

"And whats more whats the prize!" said a man whose wearing a black jumpsuit that with a hat that look like cat ears and purple mar- I mean war plant! And carries a couple of scrolls on his back and he is brother to Temari and Gaara, whose name is Kankruō as he going though the crowd.

"Oh that? The Prize is Billions Yen and all payed to our best Spa of the Empire and that just the first place" said The Empress and she could have swear heard something of sound from everyone expect for Gaara, "Oh right you question, The reason why is that, To show everyone that there no war going on anymore in the west" said Empress as she answers Gaara's question, "But you're not the only village we inviting, I'm going to invite the other major villages" said Empress.

And Gaara say, "Even Konoha? Cause that village had become the weakest village among the 5 major villages" as Empress "I see, So the rumors are true then, Konoha had fallen from Grace because something happen 6 years ago that had cost them all they allies as well they trading routes and barely getting any missions from the outside" said Empress as Gaara nods to confirm them, "yeah what you heard is right, But not many knows how it happen but a few do, But I don't have to tell you that right?" Gaara as he knows whose it is behind the mask.

"You get that right anyway I would love to stay to chat some more but we have other villages go and people to invite, Oh one last thing, The Tournament begins a mouth from now and there will be transport ships to you pick 5 days before the tournament begins" said Empress as she waves bye to her dear friend as she grabs a hold of the rope as it gets pull up by the blimp as heading up in the cargo bay.

As the Queen of the Air begins move again and heading off to the next village with everyone heading back to the village leaving only Gaara and Temari by themselves, "It's nice to see that she's doing very well, I have to say, She become very strong then she was back then" said Temari as she too knows about Empress, "indeed and I could tell even though she's wearing mask, that she's very happy and that reminds me, Temari do you remember when I agreed becoming allies to the Phoenix Empire?" said Gaara as Temari looks at him.

"Yeah it was about what? 4 years ago, why do you ask?" said Temari as she wonders what is Gaara on about "well I might have put you onto a marriage contact as part of the allies" said Gaara as he say it like was nothing as Temari on other hand "you what! Are you kidding with me Gaara! Just because you're the Kage doesn't mean you could sign me into a marriage without my permission!" said the angry Temari even though she doesn't know whose she marrying to.

Hours later, on Route toward Konoha

It take many hours but Empress was able to invite the Kages of Kirigakure, Kumogakure and Iwagakure and the Leader of Land of Iron's Samurais Mifune, But there a few things she had to deal with, Like Kumogakure's Raikage wanted to face the strongest man in the Phoenix Empire but he's unknowing challenging Whitebearg, And there The Tsuchikage boy was that old man a headache, Naruko want so badly to shut him up with one of her weapons down his throat cause he was on and one about the greatness of Iwagakure but stops when he throws out his back, And as for The Mizukage was easy enough to deal with and Naruko could very well tell that she wanted to go on that spa and the same goes for Mifune as he wish for his man to enter.

So Now that just leaves Konoha left to invite, So as they heading toward there, Naruko is in her private quarters as she having some Tea and a few sandwiches with her mask on the small table in front of her as she looking out the window as the trees moving by, "I can't believe I'm heading back after 8 years since there fools banish me but who cares" said Naruko as she stretch her arms a bit then hears Cid from the speakers, "Empress Naruko we will be appearing within 20 minutes to Konoha so get ready if I were you" Said Cid though the Speakers and before Naruko could thank him "WHERE MY GODDAMN LUNCH! I'M STARVING OVER HERE!" Cid shouted into the Speaker leaving Naruko to sweat drops.

Then Naruko a giggles a little as she finished up eating her sandwiches and tea before putting her mask back on, afterward Naruko with her mask on leaves her quarters and Head toward the cargo bay so when they arrived and she would will get down from there.

Meanwhile Konoha

Long ago Everyone would think about Konoha the once great village among of the five major villages and how great they used to be, But now in there passed 6 years Had not so great specially that they lost all they alliances, Trading Contacts, barely getting any mission from people from outside the village thus they getting no money on what so ever, Nobody really knows how this come to be expect a few like of them, Like Konoha's Leader The Hokage as she knows how this come to be.

And it was because the actions of the Civilian Council that did something behind her back, And by something she mean how she found out they banish the person who bring there alliances as well trading contacts all because that person had hurt they oh so 'beloved' Uchina during that retrieval Mission since the Uchina didn't want to come willy and had to used force.

And how long did it take for The 5th Hokage Tsunade to found out? The Day after when they Banished Naruko Uzumaki and boy was she angry no she was furious as she tells them had no right do such a thing behind her back, She wanted to badly hurt them doing it, But there one way she knows that would truly, And that they beloved Uchina, So she told them that Sasuke won't get any training in any form for 5 years and if she found out someone did train Sasuke, She will have him executed in front of everyone.

But it was too late, Cause word of Naruko's Banishment had ranch so many ears like getting a message from Sunagakure and how they have break off they alliance along by many others and The Wave village won't be in a contact with someone who would banish a hero whose just doing they were told to do, And Tsunade the only way to found fix this was to found Naruko and bring her home, That's why she had Jiraiya to found her with his spying network.

Which Jiraiya would glad to do it, So by using the network, Only to found out that Naruko had gone to the west by going over the wall which it wasn't good at that time, Cause it was going though war, And so there was nothing else that Jiraiya could have done to get her since he has no resources or people there to help him, Which Naruko could have died or went into hiding or anything since they don't know what become of her.

And not only sometime ago, They found out that the war ended 6 years ago lead by someone which they couldn't found out who it is as well about The Phoenix Empire that rise from the ashes of that war.

Right now At the Hokage Tower in the office, As a woman with blonde hair wearing a grass-green haori with the kanji for 'gamble' and Underneath she wears a grey, kimono-style blouse with no sleeves, held closed by a broad, dark bluish-grey obi that matches her pants, her name is Tsunade and she is looking though the funding of this mouth and they not looking good, Cause it going down because the low rate of missions, and so Tsunade lets go of them and rubs her head in order stop the upcoming headache, "We have to get new funding or else" said the tried Tsunade as she turns away from her desk and looks out the window to look at the village but however.

She notice something heading on they way, She quickly gets off her chair and calls forth the Anbus and to follow her to the Gate to see whats going while hoping that it's not an invasion.

At the Gates of Konoha

Everyone had stop of what they doing cause they see the blimp flying above them and all of them asking each thats full of questions like what's going on? It is invasion? It could be anything as every Shinobi try get villagers away from the area as Tsunade finally appeared along with The Anbu following by, "Everyone remain clam I will handle this-" before she could say more, The Cargo bay door opens up from the bottom with robes dropping down from it.

Then Next thing they know, They see a woman with long sliver hair coming down by robe and lands on the ground while many man of Konoha are stun by her Beauty as well other things which makes mades the one with girlfriends or wives mad and smack them they heads.

Then a girl with pink hair and green eyes as she wearing the Chunin uniform of Konoha as she come up to Tsunade "Lady Hokage what's going on?" said the girl with pink hair as Tsunade say without looking at her "I don't know but I'm going to found out" said Tsunade as she walks up to the sliver hair woman while the Pink hair girl couldn't help look at the breasts of the sliver hair woman and she right away gets jealous as she thinking about something how life is unfair with her.

"Greetings traveler! Welcome to Konoha and I"m its Leader The Hokage Tsunade Senji and you are?" said Tsunade as she being very polite, "I'm Selvaria, One of Generals of The Phoenix Empire" said Selvaria as Tsunade know it, "wait doesn't that mean your from the West?" said Tsunade as everyone begin talking among themselves, "She's from the West? I thought they at war?" say one "yeah I thought so too but it see they not anymore" say other "what a hottie! I wonder if she's taken?" say one of the simple guys, "I guess woman from the West are well more Developed then I thought! But how old is she?" say one of the girls as they wonder of what did Selvaria do to get such a figure.

"Yes that is correct" said Selvaria as Tsunade say "then you're an envoy to delivery from your Emperor If I'm correct?" as she hopes she get it right, And before Selvaria could say anything "I'm afraid thats were you are wrong Miss Hokage" said a voice from above as Tsunade see the Empress who going down along a fully armored guard with a helmet on to cover the face as Selvaria doesn't remember coming along but decide to be quiet about it, "Because I along rule The Phoenix Empire there for, there is no Emperor" said The Empress as she lands on the ground as too the guard thats with her.

"oh I'm sorry about, I just sigh never mind, How I help you Empress mmm?" said Tsunade as she hoping that The Empress could give the female Hokage her name but "Empress will be just fine" said Empress as she looking around and the poor state that Konoha is in, "Right Empress, As I'm saying How I help you?" said Tsunade as she wonders why someone the leader of an Empire doing here anyway? "Its simple really, A month from now My Empire will be hosting a Tournament and I'm have personally inviting all five major villages of the Elemental countries both they leaders and they best fighters to come to enter or just simply watch the match, And In case you ask, the first place prizes are billions Yen and all payed trip to our best Spa in the empire as well the runners up they gain Thousand and the last places well You guess on that" said The Empress.

And Just Hearing the word 'billions' Tsunade eyes turn into Yen symbol as she thinking all that yen would indeed help out Konoha's funding greatly and before she could say anything, "you might as well give me cause no one could ever come up with me" said A voice that full of arrogance which that really pissed off Tsunade cause she knows who said that, While some the girls starts squeaking along with the girl with the pink hair as they let out The person's name.

"Sasuke!~" said all the girls who are the fangirls of his as Selvaria and the Empress see a guy with black hair with a hairstyle that looks like certain birds's behind as he wearing a blue shirt and black pants along with a sword to his side and he is Sasuke Uchina, The lone member of the Uchina clan, "Oh? per tell why should I do that specially that the Tournament hasn't started and you didn't win" said the Empress as she tries to keep herself in control since she always hated his guts ever since they Academy days.

"Thats why, Cause I'm a Uchina, An Elite one at that and while I'm at it, How about you and that sliver hair woman offer your hands in marriage to me" said Sasuke in a demanding voice and the reason why he's doing this cause he had heard that there no Emperor which means he just simply get The Empress fall for him like every woman do when they first see him.

And not only that he could all the resources of the empire at his disposal and Kill his older brother as every one of his Fangirls are glaring at the Empress who isn't bothered by them as Tsunade one inch away from punching Sasuke's arrogant face for doing this in front they guests but then.

"Sorry but you're not my type and not only that I don't like people tries demand something that not theirs, Now then off you go boy, I'm specking with your Hokage" said the Empress as she blow off Sasuke like he was nothing to her, Which greatly angers him, So he tries to grab the Empress but however, The guard Grabs Sasuke's arm and twist it then makes him down onto his knees and appeared from the shadows two Creed guards had they hidden blades that inside they gauntlets At Sasuke's neck and all of this happen within a sec.

As the Guard yelled out "DON'T YOU TOUCH OUR EMPRESS YOU TEME!" as Sasuke is in pain as his arm is being twisted by guard and not only that he notice the tone from the guard's yelling sounds very familiar even though it's been long time but there no way he couldn't forget it, "Is that you?! Naruko!" said Sasuke as Tsunade is shock to hear as long with everyone else and before anyone could do anything, "That's enough Naruko, Its time to go and You should know Miss Hokage I don't blame you or your village for his actions, So I will expect you and your fighters to come and the airship will come pick you up at your gates 5 days before the Tournament, For now have a nice evening" said The Empress as 'Naruko' lets go of Sasuke's arm as she walks up to the Empress along with the Creed members as they Rope and gets pull up.

As Tsuande tries to stop them so she could at last talk to Naruko but it was too late as they already on board as Tsunade yells out to Naruko "Naruko wait!" as the Cargo bar door closes as the blimp begins to leave, As everyone start talking, "I can't believe it, Naruko is with The Empire!" say one of the villagers, "Me too! And it see she that Empress's guard" say other, As everyone keep talking while Tsunade doesn't know what to do but one thing for sure she needs to talk to Naruko and to do that she needs to go the Empire but first she needs to formed a team.

Miles away from Konoha, The Queen of the Air, Naruko's private quarters

"Was it alright for you do that Empress Naruko?" said Selvaria as she wonders it was okay for Naruko for doing that "Yes, Cause it would give them more reason to come because in truth There someone I want to join the Empire" said Naruko who has her mask off as The guard turn out to be a clone of her and Naruko already dispel it when they left, "and who it is Empress Naruko?" said Selvaria as Naruko say "someone very dear to me" said Naruko as she looks out at the window.

Then the Creed guards come in "Empress, We found a few stole ways but there no worry as we already eliminate them" said one of the Creed Guards as the other place a Anbu with a Kanji of 'root' on it along with blood of the dead, Naruko say to them "good job guys, Why don't you guys take it easy on the way to the Land of Spring for all your hard to keeping this trip safe" said Naruko as the Creed Guards "We will Empress" say as they leave the room leaving only Naruko and Selvaria in the room.

"Well I don't know about you Selvaria, But I'm going to train a bit, After all I can't get rusty just because I'm the leader of a whole Empire" said Naruko as she gets from her sit and heads over to the Airship's training room, "I will come too Empress" said Selvaria as Naruko "Very well, Since I do need a training partner" said Naruko as both of them leave the room and heard toward the training room.

As the Queen of the Air heads back to the Phoenix Empire, Everyone from all 5 villages are getting ready for the tournament as well deciding who take, They have a mouth to decide, What will happen next? Whose to say?
