(Fang Island: Home of the Uzumaki - Saldris Oxzume - 0900 Hours)
Cold red eyes opened slowly regarding the person next to him silently. He was tall, abnormally so, he was about 155cm tall with blonde hair and cold blue eyes, eyes, he thought similar to himself in a more bloodthirsty way. But the thing that set him on edge was the bulk and robust form of the man next to him, he was in 3 words, swoll as fuck. He wore black pants that compressed to skin-tight levels from the shin down. Black combat boots, a red t-shirt with a black Uzumaki swirl on the right arm and a black & red katana. He was sitting down, right palm in front of him facing skyward and had several ethereal chains materialize from his palm making them sway and dance like a snake. As if reading his mind they suddenly went rigid and then began to rattle ominously and hiss at the occupants in the room a few minutes later of building tension and the room had fallen silent except for the eerie rattling of chains.
He sighed, there were around 1000 other people in the room, all of which had never met each other before. Sometimes he fucking hated the Uzumaki, but he had to admit they were damn efficient. The Uzumaki empire prided themselves on strength, therefore, those without it were below civilians in the eyes of the Uzumaki. All of the occupants in the room were fighting for the privilege of attending the academy, all those in the tournament were TC's(Trained Cadets) and had completed the Pre-Saldris-Training, PST for short. PST was needed so that the more privileged of the Uzumaki didn't trample over the less privileged Uzumaki in Saldris.
The Academy was not really an academy per se, due to the unusual age of attendance, at the age of 12, the best TC's were gathered together and put into a no holes barred/ battle royal style tournament 'Saldris' and whoever emerged was chosen for UAUE (Uzumaki Armed Unit Enforcement) training, those who got in usually later became the best of the best, naturally there was no killing in the tournament, they were family after all. Those who did not get into UAUE were sent to SUAT(Standard Uzumaki Army Training) and then sorted and selected at a later date. Those who did, however, get into UAUE were given monikers to be known by for the duration of their training at the Academy. After the selection, they were given new monikers for unknown reasons, only those in the Uzumaki army knew what the selection was due to it being of PX(Privileged Unknown and below) class knowledge. The Enforcers in training would train together for 2 years at the end of their training they would then have a tournament known as the 'Teething' which decided their rank among the class, there were five spots or titles; Todur, God Of Wind and Knowledge, Amthar, God Of Fire and Purity, Aione, God Of Earth and Fortitude, Ceher, God Of The Sea and Regeneration, Kihidar, the beast of rage, after the 'Teething' they would be given a year to further hone their skills, after they would take place in a ritualistic combat event known as 'Fangs', the prize being the right to go through selection first, one of the greatest honors for an Uzumaki.
This room was filled with the participants for the 1st of 4 different brackets for Saldris. He wanted to study those around him more but, Saldris was about to begin so he just quieted down and planned out his strategies. He never saw the grin that emerged from his previously stoic neighbor.

The blonde soldier watched with silent and focused eyes as a particular fellow red-haired pack member studied him. He hated the way they looked at him as if he was, going to rip out their throats and devour them, they were pack he would never do that... probably. He grinned savagely the moment the red-haired flesh-sack looked away, he was going to devour them, rip them apart and DRINK THEIR BLOOD, his grin becoming more insane and sinister the more he became agitated. He calmed himself, those around him had begun to inch away and lower their hands threateningly, he knew he got too excited, he would never really do that... to them anyway. A few moments later he was surrounded by a supposedly uncaring ring of people with their hands on their swords in a, so far, semi-loose grip. He growled deep in his throat as a warning, if they even twitched they were going to fly through a wall or two, family or not, NO ONE threatened the Alpha. Their hands tightened instantly but, before something could happen the cage was opened.
The walls of the cage had fallen away to put them in the middle of a roaring crowd and high slated metal walls. The arena was split into 2 different parts, one was a large walled off circle containing god knows what and a forest with a small clearing, which is what he supposed they were in currently. The change was sudden but he knew the first rule of survival, NEVER let your guard down. So he supposed it was okay.
A mighty golem 'statue' at the head of the arena began to rumble and shake, it previously hollow stone eyes became alit with blue energy, the golem stood up to its full height, the previously 15ft crouching statue was now around 30ft tall, it surveyed the crowd and as if coming to a decision it nodded its head and then grinned, speaking in a deep rumbling voice he roared out" WELCOME COMPETITORS! THIS IS SALDRIS, THE COMPETITION THAT WILL BEGIN YOUR CAREER AS AN UZUMAKI SOLDIER! REMEMBER AND NEVER FORGET, FAMILY, HONNOR, AND BATTLE! WE ARE UZUMAKI! SO ROAR AND LET THE WORLD KNOW OUR MIGHT! " The little speech from Vae'arl seemed to bring the crowd and participants a rush of scorching adrenaline, they chanted and stomped in unison "UZUMAKI IS FAMILY! UZUMAKI IS STRENGTH! UZUMAKI IS FORCE!", they then broke out into nonsensical cheering. The golem was a missionary from the Black Stone Golems, a large and incredibly powerful group of summons that lived in the Living Stone Hedge, the golem was made from Pure Stagnate the active form of Living Stone, the golem was known as Vae'arl.
Then a physical force slammed onto the arena. "LISTEN UP MAGGOTS!" yelled out a bulky red-haired man with pale skin in full samurai armor "YOU WILL BE DIVIDED INTO QUADRANTS, THIS IS THE FIRST STAGE OF SALDRIS, OV!" everyone was drawn to the top of Vae'arl's head were the man resided, without warning he slammed his hand down and a blue wave pulsed through the ground until it hit all of the participants. The participants then glowed blue and were flash summoned to four different parts of the arena, then an earth-rumbling sound was heard and 4 walls made of flowing earth emerged from the ground to divide the arena into quadrants.
He scanned his surroundings, it was a large forest with mountain level metal slated walls. He grinned savagely, a dark glow lighting up his cold and unfeeling eyes. Now he could hunt and he could devour and now no one would be able to stop him, this was war, and although he would not kill he would maim, injure and hurt.
The man spoke again "THIS IS A SURVIVAL TEST YOU WILL BE GIVEN 2 DAYS TO SET UP A HOME BASE AND ELIMINATE COMPETITION ONLY WHEN 24 PEOPLE ARE LEFT WILL SALDRIS-OV END, YOU WILL RECEIVE FURTHER DIRECTIONS LATER ON. NOW..." he paused and then bellowed in tandem with Vae'arl "GO!". The resulting shockwave created a massive blast of air that flash hardened the earth walls.
And with that Naruto disappeared without a trace into the forest that ringed the arena.
First Chapter boys! (And girls) I am sorry this first chapter was so short but please tell me what you think.
