After listening to Inari's story everyone decided it was time to go to bed because they would have to get up early to make it to Konoha as fast as possible.

While everyone else was sleeping peacefully, Train was still thinking about what Inari told them. 'So she feels sorry about her actions, does she? Well she was seven at the time, and it's not like she knew about their plans in the first place' thought Train before finally falling asleep.

~~~~Time skip~~~~ next morning

After everyone was up and packed, everyone was finishing breakfast and talking about things.

"I hope I'm not intruding, but you never actually said why you're going to Konoha." Tsunami stated while picking up the empty plates. "No, it's okay," said Sven, "We're supposed to protect some noble's daughter." "Really, I would've thought they could just hire some ninja to do that?" asked Tsunami. "Well, I never really thought about it, with the amount we're going to get paid who really cares." Sven replied thinking about how they would soon be paying off all of their debts. "Sven you haven't forgotten about the 'incredibly dangerous criminals' that are after her, you know, the ones we're supposed to protect her from?" asked Rinslet, somewhat sarcastically pulling Sven back to reality.

"Well, on that happy reminder, we should probably get going," Said Train, before any of their patrons could ask about the 'dangerous criminals' they were talking about. "You're right Train," said Eve, turning to Tsunami's family she continued, "Thank you for your hospitality ma'am. I am sorry if we were an inconvenience to you."

"Oh, it was no problem at all, it was fun cooking for a lot of people, and Inari seems to have taken a real liking to Train, maybe when you're job is done you can come back to visit." Tsunami said

~~~~On the road~~~~

(Nothing much happens, they just talk about minor things)

~~~~Konoha village~~~~

Walking up to the gates of the village, the group is stopped by Izumo and Kotetsu who are, once again, on guard duty.

After telling them about their business in Konoha they are pointed in the direction of the Hokage tower, ("Not that we'd miss a huge building like that," muttered Rin "The place is the biggest building in town")

~~~~Hokage Tower~~~~

After making their way to the tower they went to the counter.

"Yes, what can I do for you?" asked the receptionist, trying to act cheerful. "We're here for a meeting with the Lord Hokage." Sven said, having been made the official spokesperson (mostly so Train didn't accidently say something that would give him away). "Okay, do you have an appointment?" the receptionist asked. "Well, no we just got here, were here to see him about the job he posted." Sven explained. Hearing this, the receptionist seemed to get shocked "You're here about that job, I didn't think anyone would take that, just wait a second, I'll go and tell Lord Hokage." The receptionist hurried up the stairs to the Hokage's office.

~~~~Hokage's Office~~~~

The hokage was in the middle of a conversation with his family when the receptionist came into the room.

"Is there a reason you are interrupting my meeting with my family?" asked Minato, trying to remain patient.

"I'm sorry sir, but some people have shown up to accept the job you sent out." The receptionist said

"Really, the timing couldn't be better then, send them up." He replied glad that someone had finally shown up, that he almost forgot that his wife and daughter were in the room with him, along with Jiraiya.

"Exactly what job is she talking about, dear?" Minato's wife, Kushina asked confused

"Yeah dad, why you need to set up a job for people outside the village? You could just order the ninja to do it." Natsuki, his daughter, asked also confused about the sudden revelation of a mysterious job.

Well Minato was trying to explain the job to his family the group was coming into the room. Noticing the team the occupants of the room turned to look at the prospective bodyguards for Konoha's princess.

"So, you must be the team that accepted the job as my daughter's bodyguards." Minato said "Please introduce yourselves, and if you don't mind after that I'd like to see a small test of your skills to prove to me that you're right for the job."

A.N.: I am really sorry it took me so long to get this story updated, however like I said before I am basically making this up as I go along so don't expect everything to be like the cannon Naruto story, after all the appearance of a group they have no info on will really throw a wrench in the Akatsuki's plans.
