AN: Alright, this is my fourth fanfiction, note, I do realize I make a lot of mistakes, and I'll hopefully fix them a bit later. Any big mistakes, please let me know. R&R
"Kukuku, Sasuke-kun, didn't think you could defeat me like that, did you?" Orichimaru said, rising out of the ground near Sasuke, who had frozen in fear. That had been his strongest attack and the snake survived.
"Leave Sasuke alone!" Naruto yelled, charging the sannin.
"Kukuku, they sure do make some weak gennin in this village now a day," Orichimaru said, turning to the charging blonde, only to dodge an extremely fast chakra claw, aimed for his head.
"Watch who you call weak," Naruto replied back, killing intent and malice crawling through the air, his voice full of a promise for pain.
"Kukukuku, looks like there are a few strong ones," Orichimaru said, dodging a powerful attack by Naruto, only to move right into the path of Sasuke's fireball. He swatted the fire away, but was stabbed with several shuriken hiding inside the massive fireball.
"Never let your enemies get behind you, teme," Naruto said, instantly behind Orichimaru. The snake sannin turned his head just in time for a chakra enhanced punch to snap his head in the opposite way, a sickening crack being accompanied by the punch. Sakura passed out at the carnage from the punch, Sasuke vomited, and Naruto smiled maliciously, the fox's intent slowly consuming him. Orichimaru's head hung, by literally a thread, a muscle to be exact; the rest of his neck was torn and destroyed, spraying blood everywhere. The blood would sizzle as soon as it hit Naruto's thick, burning cloak of chakra. The chakra cloak receded after Orichimaru's body collapsed to the ground, all hint of life leaving it. As soon as the cloak receded, Naruto collapsed to one knee, panting heavily, while Sasuke helped a now semi-conscious Sakura to her feet.
"Dobe, what the hell kind of power was that?" Sasuke said, half out of fear, half out of anger he didn't possess that power.
"What *pant* power? What the hell just happened?" Naruto asked, regaining enough strength to stand, however wobbly, and he leaned against the tree nearest him.
"What do you mean what power, Dobe? You just killed Orichimaru of the sannin, and you're saying what power?" Sasuke asked, becoming frustrated.
"I just did WHAT?" Naruto half asked, half yelled the question, looking down at the lifeless body of Orichimaru. He immediately lost everything in his stomach, losing everything he ate until all he could do was dry heave. "I did that?" Naruto asked, receiving a nod from Sasuke.
"Yeah, you did. How the hell did you get that red chakra of yours?" Sasuke asked, trying to gain answers. Naruto just shrugged, he didn't know of any chakra other than blue.
"Come on, lets get to that tower, the snake over there gave us the earth scroll," Sasuke said, helping Sakura to walk.
"Hold on, we'll travel much faster if my clone carries her," Naruto said, throwing his hands in his favorite handsign. Sasuke just nodded, hand Sakura off to the clone, and they jumped into the trees, heading to the tower. What they failed to notice was another Orichimaru crawling out from the throat of the dead body, completely unscathed.
"Damn brat, he packs quite a punch," the new Orichimaru said, rubbing his jaw. He stood up, cracked his back, and disappeared. He knew that, even though he couldn't get the Uchiha today, he could move forward with the invasion, and get the Uchiha's body a bit later than planned.
Tower, 1 hour later
"That was tiring," Naruto said as they walked into the building. They were met with the site of Gaara's team, Temari and Kankuro sleeping against the wall. Gaara stood silently, sending glares towards the new team to make it.
"Uzumaki, my mother wants your blood, something about the most powerful being in a wimp's body," Gaara said, walking towards Naruto.
"Well, since we made it into the tower, that's going to have to wait," Naruto said, resting his back against the wall opposite Kankuro and Temari, Sasuke following suite while the clone laid Sakura on the ground next to Sasuke, and disappeared, leaving the two teams to rest. Naruto was just starting to doze, Sasuke already asleep, when three loud voices were heard from outside.
"Oi, we're finally here! My back hurts," a feminine voice rang out as they entered. There were two girls, and a boy. The girl that the voice belonged to have a presumably large bust and long blonde hair.
"Shut up and rest, we're the third team he-" the second girl started, but stopped, holding her head in what looked like pain.
"Yugito, you ok," the first blonde asked, hurrying to her teammate's side, while the boy stood unwavering, sucking on a lollipop.
"Yeah, I'm fine, just it again," Yugito said, standing up straight again. Her 2 blonde ponytails waved as she shook off whatever plagued her head for those quick few seconds. "Now come on, let's rest, we've got three more days until the second ex-" Yugito was cut off as a wave of sand was sent at her. In an instant, a cloak of purple flames surrounded her body, turning the sand into glass when it hit the cloak.
"DIE!" Gaara yelled, sending another wave of sand. The boy and girl on Yugito's team jumped to safety, and Naruto jumped up. He charged Gaara, trying to end it before anybody was hurt. He was met by a fist of sand, sending him bakwards before his own cloak of red chakra enveloped his body.
"Well hello, Ichibi, Matabi," Naruto spoke up, demonic influence in his voice. The two other jinchuriki froze, their own biju had warned them of the weak boy with the strong biju. Immediately, Gaara stopped his attacks and shrunk into a corner, and Yugito dropped her cloak.
"Now, that's better. Who's up for a round of Shogi?" Naruto asked, the Kyuubi still in control. Yugito sweat dropped at this, and Gaara showed no emotions.
"Oi, Kyuubi, is that all you ever want to do?" Yugito said, her own demon taking over.
"Hey, I like to terrorize villages from time to time," Kyuubi spoke out, causing Matabi to break out into laughs.
"Alright, I guess we should give them back their bodies," Matabi said to Kyuubi, who reluctantly gave Naruto back control. Both Yugito and Naruto dropped to one knee, Yugito being the only to know what just happened.
"What the hell just happened?" Naruto asked Yugito, who was in a similar condition to his.
"You know what a biju is, right?" Yugito asked, before being interrupted.
"Yeah, and I know the Kyuubi is sealed into me. What does that have to do with anything?" Naruto asked. The two other members of Yugito's team walked back over to join the conversation.
"Well, from time to time, in moments of danger, these biju sealed in us take control to help save us and/or to scare off potential attackers. Some people have enough control that they can allow their biju to take control and have some fun once in a while," Yugito explained, watching as Naruto nodded.
"So, the Kyuubi took over? If so, then that means you have one too!" Naruto said, glas to find someone like him.
"Yeah, unfortunately. Wait, I thought the fourth Hokage killed the Kyuubi?" Yugito asked, watching Naruto's face contort in a mixture of emotions.
"That's what I thought to, until the night I graduated the academy," Naruto said, anger filling his voice.
"Oh. What's your name?" Yugito asked, trying hardest to be nice.
"My name's Naruto Uzumaki, the future Hokage!" Naruto yelled out excitedly, watching as Yugito's team face faulted.
"Well, nice to meet you, Naruto. My name's Yugito, this is Samui, and he's Atsui," Yugito said, gesturing to her teammates who waved when spoken about.
"How are people like you and me treated in Kumo?" Naruto asked, risking a nervous glance up from his feet.
"It's great; we're treated like protectors, not demons," Yugito said, immediately regretting her words when Naruto's face filled with anger and sadness.
"Lucky you, I've been treated like the demon, been nearly killed, and worst of all, every day of my life up until the academy, I was beaten to a near bloody pulp," Naruto said, tears falling from his face at the memories.
"Naruto, I'm so sorry. If there's anything I can do to help you, let me know," Yugito said, looking at Naruto's sad smile.
"It's ok, I'll just have to become Hokage to prove the village I'm not the Kyuubi," Naruto said, wiping away tears. Yugito nearly cried at this, he was put down so much; he just wanted to be Hokage to prove them wrong. She thought back to the picture her 'grandfather' had shown her of the Hokages, until it dawned on her.
"Wait, you know who you look a lot like?" Yugito asked, Naruto just shook his head.
"No, is it someone in Kumo?" Naruto asked.
"Not even close. My adoptive grandfather showed me a picture of the Yondaime Hokage and the others, and you have the same hair and eyes as him," Yugito said, receiving a confused look from her new friend.
"I've never been told that. How does your grandfather have a photo of the Yondaime?" Naruto asked.
"Well, in the third Shinobi world war, the Raikage, my grandfather, fought the Yondaime, and the Yondaime was only man at that time to match the Raikage in speed," Yugito explained, receiving an understanding nod from the whiskered boy.
"Yugito, we're going to get some rest, you joining?" Samui asked.
"Nah, I'm going to talk to Naruto for a bit," Yugito said, receiving a funny look from Samui.
"Yeah, sure you are," Samui said, walking out of punching distance as Yugito blushed fiercely. She threw a kunai at Samui who just dodged it, laughing as she did so. Yugito's team sat down against the third of four walls, getting some well-deserved rest. Gaara stood off in the corner, scowling.
"So, is life in Kumo that good for people like us?" Naruto asked, trying to change the subject. Yugito nodded, trying to contain the blush.
"Yeah. I just wish I would've run away after the first few times," Naruto said, frowning.
"Well, why didn't you leave?" Yugito asked, the blush disappearing.
"Well, I had a few people that cared about me. Jiji-san, Teuchi and Ayame, Inu-san, and Neko-san," Naruto said, smiling.
"Sounds like some good reasons. Hey, you want to be friends?" Yugito asked.
"Sure. Good luck in the finals," Naruto said, yawning as he drifted off into an exhausted sleep. Yugito, despite her team being asleep against a different wall, sat down next to her new friend and fell asleep, subconsciously laying her head on his shoulder. The four teams drifted off into sleep, all but Gaara, who was plagued each time he slept.
