Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, and for the record, if I did, you would never hear the phrase 'Believe It!' Ever. I do however own all my original characters. I bought them at a flee market for 3.50
"America" – Speech
'America' - Thoughts
America – emphasis
America – indicates extreme emphasis. And the letters aren't fat, they're just big boned.
It's time. To rock. That's right, my second fic has now begun. This fic is an AU of Naruto NOT A HIGHSCHOOL ONE! It takes place during the chuunin exams and splits off from there, and it is significantly more serious than my other fic (it would be hard not to be really), so if you have aversions to sort of dark material (blood, death, carnage, rape, pillaging, etc.), get thee gone! Also, you'll notice I try (note the extreme emphasis) to be funny with most of my AN. This is because I usually write comedy, and it feels kind of wrong to write something that never makes anyone laugh, so get used to it. And no, this is not yaoi. OR yuri. F34R MAH S7R41TN3SS!!
Ahem (Actually, it's not hentai in any form)
Anyway, that was my humor for the day, don't expect much more. On with the story!

The sound of a thousand birds filled the air. Naruto watched in awe as Sasuke gathered lightning in his hand
'That is freaking AWESOME! But… Isn't that Kakashi-sensei's jutsu? How is Sas- Oh right, Kakashi-sensei probably didn't spend that whole month just teaching Sasuke-teme how to copy Bushy Brows.'
Naruto sniffed derisively 'You don't see me copying other people's moves! Only someone as lame as that bastard would rely on copying other people with his precious sharingan.'
Of course, completely missing the irony of Sasuke being trained by the infamous copy-nin himself, Naruto went back to watching the match, though he suddenly felt a little drowsy.
Sasuke looked up, then like a flash of the lightning he wielded, he streaked towards Gaara. He briefly saw thin tendrils of sand belatedly rouse to block him.
He smirked 'Too slow'
The next second, his arm shattered the shell of sand protecting his opponent and his lightning reached out and licked blackened trails in the boy's skin.
Gaara opened his eyes and screamed.
There was a muffled whump and a glint of sun on metal.
Then there was a rain of steel.
Thousands of kunai fell from the sky, and the ground was splattered with red.
With one scream, an eternal silence followed.

Ouch, cliffhanger. Yes, this is the way a real insane ninja-snake would have done it, and that happens to be exactly what Orochimaru is. So anyway, that's the first chapter. Actually, I'm kind of liking this as a one-shot now, but I have more chapters ready. Well, please read and review, and tell me what you think. One-shot, or series? You decide! Okay, actually you'll tell me what you want and then I'll decide, but your input matters! Probably.
