The Destruction of Peach's Grotto

Naruto and the others led Peach back to her grotto.

"Naruto, why can't you just tell me what this is all about?" Peach asked her brother curiously.

"You'll see, sis! It's a surprise!" Naruto said.

When they were all the way in the grotto, Naruto pointed up ahead and Peach gasped in amazement at the statue of Mario.

"Oh, guys! You're the best!" Peach exclaimed happily and gave Naruto and the others a hug. She then went over to the statue.

"It looks just like him! It even has his eyes!" Peach gasped as she walked around the statue. "Why, Mario, run away with you? This is all so sudden!" Peach said with a giggle. She spun around in joy. She stopped and gasped when she saw Kakashi in the entrance with an intent look on his face.

"Daddy!" Peach exclaimed in shock.

Naruto and the others hid quickly. Toadsworth, Toadette, and Toad were a few feet behind Kakashi. They had their heads down in guilt.

"I consider myself a reasonable king and I have kept my patience up until now, Peach!" Kakashi said. He stepped out of the shadows and walked toward Peach and stopped a yard in front of her. "I set certain rules and I expect those rules to be obeyed!"

Peach bit her lip and began to explain "But, Daddy, I--" Her sentence was cut short by Kakashi.

"Is it true that you rescued a human from drowning?" Kakashi demanded.

"Daddy, I had to!" Peach said.

"Contact between the mortal world and the Magical Realm is strictly forbidden! Peach, you know that! Everyone knows that!" Kakashi shouted.

"He would have died!" Peach said.

"One less human to worry about!" Kakashi said coldly.

"How can you be so heartless and cold-blooded? You don’t even know him!" Peach snapped angrily.

"Know him?! I don’t have to know him! They’re all the same! Heartless monsters who are only compelled by greed and will kill and destroy anything that’s not like them!" Kakashi shouted.

That did it for Peach, who couldn’t hold it in anymore. "Daddy, I love him!" she shouted with tears in her eyes. Upon realizing what she had just said, Peach gasped and covered her mouth. Naruto and the others gasped as well. Kakashi looked stunned.

"No!" Kakashi gasped. His shock then turned to anger. "Have you lost your senses completely? He’s a human! You’re an immortal!" he yelled.

"I don’t care!" Peach said.

"So help me, young lady, I am going to get through to you, and if this is the only way, so be it!" Kakashi said menacingly. With that, Kakashi used his ninja moves to destroy Peach’s valuables.

Despite Peach’s pleas, Kakashi destroyed every artifact with his ninja moves. He then set his sights on the statue of Mario. He charged up a fireball.

"DADDY, NO!!!" Peach shouted. But it was too late. Kakashi fired the fireball at the statue of Mario, destroying it.
