Hey guys, DragonEmperror2810 here once again!

Just a little warning, this particular chapter will be shorter than the previous ones. I originally wanted to make it longer but a minor Writer's Block prevented me from going any further so I decided to post this one first to get it out of the way.

On to the reviewer's review section:

To :

Thanks, I'm glad you like it!

To Spark681:

Oh, you'll find out soon enough, my friend.

To Minato 1:

Thanks, I'll be sure to keep up the effort!

To mellra:

To be honest, I've no idea how much more chapters I'll do until the first season but I'll do my best to reach it as soon as possible. And yes, Naruto and Princess Celestia will play a bigger role than the ones in canon. I'll guarantee you that. As for Discord…you'll find out soon in the near future. And thank you for the compliment, I wouldn't say I'm talented in art just yet but I'll continue to improve myself to become one.

To Guest:

Well I originally planned it to be a marem but seeing as how I've already seen plenty of them in the Naruto x MLP fandom, I decided to be unique and make a single pairing instead. Plus, I have made quite a few plans for him and Princess Celestia already in which I'm sure you'll find as equally entertaining as a marem story.

To Moss Stories:

Well, I can't guarantee fast updates but I'll try my best to make each chapters as entertaining as possible for everybody.

To Guest (2):

Fun Fact: Naruto is actually older and more experienced than Cadence and Shining but he let them think otherwise. Less troublesome, he said.

To Antex- The Legendary Zoroark:

Simple answer, lots of things happened, lots and lots of things.

To Arashi Uzukaze:

Oh yeah, about that. I was actually about talk about something to you but I sent the PM to the wrong guy. But in any case, the problem has passed and everything's fine now so don't mind about it.

To Arashi Uzukaze (2):

Well, I've got no problems with bestiality but for the sake of general public's comfort and smoother flow of storyline, I decided to make Naruto as a pony. Besides, there aren't that many fanfictions that portrays pony Naruto so I'd like to make one.

To Guest (3):

Well if you don't like it, you're more than welcome to stop reading and ignore this story. I'm sure there are plenty of other stories out there in the fandom, both in and , that fits your particular taste. You just need to keep on looking.

To bjh93jwh:

Thanks, I'm glad you like it.

To I know I know:

No, I don't apparently.

First Mission

Back in Konoha, the Hokage office is the heart of operations for all its shinobis. It's the very locations where leaf shinobis headed off to both receive and conclude their missions given, regardless if it was a top-secret or just an any day E-rank missions.

Many people had always assumed that the Hokage office or the Hokage building in general was always carelessly left unguarded. That was far from the truth. Hidden out of people's sight were a dozen of ANBU shinobis who kept a lookout of the Hokage every twenty-four seven. They're required to remain in their posts until the next shift of ANBU showed up to replace them or when the Hokage ordered them to for privacy situation.

In this world, there was no Hokage office. There wasn't even a Hokage building even. The only thing that was close to such was the spacious room within the center of the Canterlot Castle famously recognized as the throne room where Princess Celestia often resided when dealing with the usual kingdom matters.

"Uh, Princess Celestia, You left the window opened."

Whether if Princess Celestia was surprised or not, she didn't show it. Instead, she casually put the paper parchment she was busily examining this whole time, got off her throne and stepped down.

"I figured you'd come prefer the window over the door. After all, you said it yourself that you favor such unorthodox entrance." The Princess of the Sun stated before mildly frowning. "Though I sincerely wish I was wrong."

"Heheheheh, that's how I roll."

"In any case, thank you for coming, Naruto." Princess Celestia said. "I appreciate the help."

"Its fine, I could use a little workout anyway." He replied with a smile. "So what do you want me to do, Princess Celestia? From what Cadence spoke, it sounds really important."

That was far from the truth. She didn't actually make it sound as such. It was the orange stallion himself who made a big deal out of it. Even to the point where he downright abandoned her in the middle of the city as soon as he received word about it.

"Tell me, Naruto, have you heard of a place called Ponyville?"

He nodded affirmatively. "Yeah, it's that small town that's not too far from here." Raising a hoof, the blonde pointed towards a particular window where a small town can be sighted just beyond the horizon. "What about that place?"

"At the centre of the town, there's a structure called Golden Structure Library. It's the town's one and only library that was recently build just a few years ago." She began as she brought forth a picture for him to see. Sure enough, there was indeed a treehouse there. It wasn't as big as he originally thought it would but it definitely looked cozy for a living. "Every year, the Canterlot archive curators would deliver a dozen of books which are to be added to the library's growing collection."

"But I'm guessing there's a problem with the delivery?" He asked, adding one and one together, his eyes still focused on the picture in his hoof. Although he doesn't question the feats these ponies were capable of doing courtesy of their magic, the blond found himself questioning how they were able to build such place without a Mokuton user.

The white Alicorn smiled at his sharpness. "Yes, there is." She acknowledged. "Just a few days back, we received a word that our usual delivery workers were having a difficulty with their work. As such, they wouldn't be able to help us for this year."

Putting the picture away, she finally turned towards Naruto with her usual gentle yet serious expression that he had grown accustomed to. "This is where you come in, Naruto. I need you to deliver those books to Ponyville by tomorrow on behalf of the Canterlot's main archive."

"Seems easy enough. I'll do it." He acknowledged without missing a beat. "How long will I have to stay there?"

"Wonderful. Then I advise you to pack up your lbag by tonight then because you'll be leaving tomorrow first thing in the morning." There was a momentarily pause before she continued. "…you do have a bag of your own, correct?"

…..

Following the mare-in-charge's words, Naruto managed to gather his belongings for the trip. He didn't have that many necessities to begin with so he didn't have to worry too much.

Unfortunately for him, somepony did.

"Do you have your toothbrush?"

"Yes."

"What about your manecomb?"

"Got it."

"Your umbrella?"

"…ye—wait what?"

Cadence sighed exasperatedly at his response. "Come on Naruto, you can't honestly go around without carrying a umbrella by your side."

Naruto gave her a confused look at that. "Uh Cadence, I have hooves, you know."

"So? Doesn't mean you can't use one."

"Cadence," Shining spoke, resting a reassuring hoof on her shoulder. "I think he got the message."

Said pink Alicorn simply sighed in defeat. "Sorry, I'm just…I'm just worried."

"Guys," He said to earn their attention. "I'll be fine. It's not like I'm leaving Equestria or anything."

"You promise you'll send letters?"

He rolled eyes at that. "I only be away for a few days. Three at most." He reminded with a smile, prompting her to pout indignantly. "Alright, alright, I promise."

"Good, I expect you to keep your word for it."

"I still think you should wear the armor." Shining remarked after having a good look of his current getup.

It wasn't anything fancy but Naruto had decided to wear a cheap brown cloak that was wrapped around his body, giving him a ragtag kind of adventurer. Tucked underneath said cloak was his handy dandy knife strapped to his left forehoof. He still didn't want to use the kunais he brought along since that would arouse suspicion to the ponies around him.

"Not a fan, remember?" He said with a grin. "Besides, you yourself said that I have the option to wear the armor or not when I'm outside the castle grounds, remember?"

"Unfortunately." He lamented to himself. "In any case, try not to do anything risky when you're out there. Me and Cadence won't be able to cover for you if anything bad happens."

"That's true."

"Oh, come on everypony, I'll be fine." He retorted. "All I have to do is just deliver some dusty old books in a town nearby and stay there for a few nights. It's not like I'm venturing off into somewhere dangerous or anything."

Shining and Cadence shared uneasy looks at each other. "We know that but still…" Cadence looked like she had something to say about that but whatever words she was about to say next, it was drowned when the train suddenly whistled to life.

"All aboard the train to Ponyville!" The conductor declared as he popped his out from the train window.

"I guess that's my cue to go." Without a moment to miss, he enveloped his two friends in a big surprise hug, surprising the two greatly. "Don't worry guys, I promise not to make any trouble there."

"Alright, you better keep your promise!" Cadence warned firmly as they watched him slowly make his way to one of the many . "The last thing I need to hear is some news about a Royal Guard setting a treehouse on fire by accident."

Stopping his advance to the train, the blond flashed the pink Alicorn a mischievous smile. "No promise on that one!"

And that's the end for chapter 8. Don't forget to post a review and tell me what you think of this chapter as a whole! I'll see you guys very soon. DragonEmperror2810 out!
