[In Naruto?!] -- Older Version of Dérive.

| 41 | Land Of The Snow, Here We Come! |

Yosha! The 41st chapter is (FINALLY) here! :D

So sorry to the readers who were expecting a special chapter...I've postponed that - I can't get any inspiration and when it comes to writing the actual chapter, I can't seem to get anything done.

Anywaaays...

UWAH! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! OAO|| THIS SERIES HAS GOTTEN 40,000+ READS AND 500+ VOTES! I CAN'T THANK YOU READERS ENOUGH! SERIOUSLY! YOU DON'T KNOW HOW FUCKING GRATEFUL I AM, AT THE MOMENT ~ >W<

OHHH, I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH <3

SO I HOPE YOU CAN FORGIVE ME FOR NOT PUTTING UP THE SPECIAL CHAPTER!

Not~! ;P

I'm not that desperate as to flatter someone to get them to forgive me :3 I really do mean the thank-you's; your votes and comments are deeply appreciated.

Ma! On with the show, ne! :D FINALLY, WE HAVE REACHED THE FIRST MOVIE IN THE 'Naruto' SERIES! x)

Yasuo: ...it's been a week or so since you've written about me...

Tiffany: Awwh, does w'ittle Yasuo feel alone~?

Yasuo: Wh-what?

Tiffany: Idiot. I would never ask of your feelings out of blatant concern.

Yasuo: That's...really...nice to know (;;A;;).

WARNING: Foul Language. Fluff. Crack! MOVIE TIME!

DISCLAIMER: I, LeTiffany, do not own the manga/anime Naruto or its characters. I only own the story plot and the Original Characters (OC) I create. All credits towards Naruto should go to Masashi Kishimoto.

The weapons strewn across the battlefield were rendered useless, their ribbon-like attachments fluttering about in the wind.

"...we have nowhere to go."

To complement the weapons were fallen soldiers, long dead and hopelessly still. A green-garbed, fatigued man came into your sight, leaning on what seemed like a double-edged sword whilst kneeling on a knee, sweat trickling down his forehead.

"There's no...road...beyond this," he stated, grunting as he closed his eyes.

Another exhausted man, also wearing green clothes (and green prayer beads), is shown, lying flat on his back."It was useless...a journey like this."

A third man coughed, sweat splattered across his make-up-caked face unnaturally, as he came into your line of sight. "This is the end. Let's...just give up, already."

Across the exhausted fighters, a lone woman stood, unwavering in the wind. "There is a way. Have faith. We will find it, without fail."

"But, hime [1]..."

The female turned, and you got a closer look at her face, "Do not give up!"

"Hime..."

A sinister laugh resounded through the battlefield, and you sighed as another man came into your visage, although he was clothed differently from the others, and he had an additional headdress (and a weapon that resembled his headdress) atop of said head.
