Perfection and power are overrated

Sometimes life is like a dark tunnel you cant always see the light at the end but if you keep going you will find a better place

Prologue

Uzumaki Naruto started down the path of a ninja what seemed like years ago now. It had realistically been about one year.

Today seemed like any other day when Kakashi Hatake showed up to the training field late as usual. "YOUR LATE AGAIN SENSEI!" Naruto and Sakura echoed at their teacher. Sakura was trying to keep calm and collected by the ever calm and cool Uchiha Sasuke.

Sasuke only thought of how to gain more power to defeat his brother Itachi, who killed everyone in the Uchiha clan. Sakura was unaware that her obsession was all alone in the world until recently. Naruto had known about Sasukes' clan since their days at the academy.

No matter how hard they tried not one member of team 7 could get the grey haired, apathetic, smut reading sensei to reach the meeting place on time. Kakashi grinned as he approached (as much as one could with 80% of his face covered). "Sorry kids, I got lost on the path of life" kakashi said waiving them off. Naruto looked at their sensei with stars in his eyes "sensei can we go on an A-rank mission today like with Tazuna? Huh? Please?"

"No Naruto I actually have something else in mind for today" kakashi said cryptic as ever. "AWW it's not another lame mission like we did yesterday all I did was get wet" Naruto exclaimed with a frown on his face. "That's because you fell in a 2 foot river baka" Sasuke muttered. "Ok that's enough" kakashi told his students. "What you're going to do today is simply look over these forms" "that's all" a confused look coming over sakura's face "what are they". "They're entry forms for the chunin selection exams, it's your choice if you want to participate they need to be signed by tomorrow and handed in at the academy.

"Sweet no problem we should be able to ace these stupid tests" Naruto was already picturing himself impressing Sakura with his flashy vest. "NARUTO YOU DUMBASS" Sakura yelled slamming a fist on the hyper knucklehead "CHUNIN EXAMS ARE REALLY DIFFICULT WELL HAVE TO DO OUR BEST IF WE WANT TO MAKE IT"

"This is such a waste of time" Sasuke said with absolutely no interest at making chunin. "There will be lots of top ninja participating, it will be a great chance to test your skill in Jutsu" kakashi was hoping that Sasuke would take the bait knowing all three had to enter the exams in order for them to participate. Sasuke just responded with his usual disinterested "Hmph" before grabbing the sheet and looking it over. "All right guys I'll see you later then." Kakashi mused as he vanished in a cloud of smoke.

"Alright!" Naruto started "you guys wanna train today so we can be as ready for tomorrow as possible?!" "Sure why not." Sasuke said with one of his very rare smile. "Then I'm coming too to get stronger" Sakura said to the surprise of her teammates.


CHAPTER 1

Day one of the chunin selection exams

Nothing eventful happened.

Day two of the chunin selection exams

Location the forest of DEATH aka the 44 battle training zone

Team 7 looked anxiously at their entryway waiting to be signaled when the 2nd exam would start. Unbeknownst to them a sinister figure had his eye on the group waiting for the perfect time to strike.

Naruto was rubbing his cheek where some crazy bitch threw a kunai knife at his face. While they were waiting he was thinking this was the opportunity he was looking for to make the villagers look at him with anything but distain he hoped they would look at him with pride as a leaf shinobi.

The gatekeeper finally signaled them to get ready "alright Sakura, Naruto? Are you ready?" Sasuke said finally feeling exited at the chance of taking down some strong opponents. "Hell Yea" was the only verbal reaction from Naruto as they set their ready position. "CHA! I CANT WAIT!" a shadowy figure inside of sakura's head exclaimed. With the sound of chains falling the gates popped open and the various teams from around the nations raced inside in order to find the upper hand against their opponents.

About 30 minutes into the exam Naruto remember he needed to go to the bathroom for the past 2 hours since the proctor cut him. He paused midstride to a stop, "what is it?" Sasuke thought Naruto might have seen an enemy they were targeting their team because all of the other teams thought the rookie team 7 consisted of weaklings. "uhhh…. I have to.. uh you know" as he stood at the ready position Naruto felt an anvil drop on the top of his head. "Not in front of me you don't find a bush or something" Sakura yelled grossed out and annoyed yet again by the unpredictable ninja.

Within two minutes Naruto came back into view rubbing the back of his head in an embarrassed way "wow that was a lot, I wrote my whole name!" Naruto said with pride. Sasuke noticed that Narutos shuriken holster was wrong and quickly moved behind 'Naruto' with a sudden burst while Sakura was in the middle of a rant on 'Narutos' grossness. 'Naruto' surprised by his actions didn't see the fierce backhand Sasuke hit him with slamming into a nearby tree. Sakura surprised at the outburst by Sasuke she thought he was trying to agree with her about his actions. "Sasuke, it wasn't that bad... don't you think you're going overboard?" "Yeah what was that all about?" 'Naruto' was rubbing his cheek when Sasuke tried to follow up with a kick. 'Naruto' dodged by rolling away. Sasuke followed up with a kick that 'Naruto' also dodged by jumping to a nearby tree branch Sasuke was too fast for 'Naruto' and kicked him off of the tree almost as soon as he landed on the branch. 'Naruto' dazed from the kick landed on his head when he hit the ground.

"Look out Sakura I think the tensions getting to him" 'Naruto' was grimacing in pain while rubbing his head. "Yeah right I just struck before you got the chance" Sasuke noted with a cool stare. "Sasuke what are you doing?" Sakura was trying to piece together what had happened with her two teammates she saw how Naruto and Sasuke became intense rivals since the land of waves.

"Take a good look at him…" Sasuke glared at 'Naruto' "alright talk what have you done with Naruto scumbag" 'what the fuck are you talking about?! I AM NARUTO!" 'Naruto' was still rubbing his head but he started to get a look of concern on his face and started to perspire. Sasuke explained with even more confidence and anger than before "then where is the cut on your cheek that the Crazy bitch gave you?"


Elsewhere

Anko Mitarashi was sitting near one of the entrances of the 44th battle training zone eating some Dango when…

"ACHOO.. Ha-ha someone must be complimenting me"


"You also have you shuriken holster on your left leg not your right. Your transformation justu sucks" Sasuke explained and Sakura finally noticing that 'Naruto' was not 'Naruto' at all. "Now who are you and where's our friend?" Sasuke demanded

"Alright you got me" the ninja proclaimed as he transformed into a ninja wearing a tan jumpsuit with a snorkel attached to a gas mask covering most of his face his headband identifying him as a ninja from Ame. "But I'm still gonna take your scroll... so hand it over or else" both members of team seven glanced at each other thinking that this Ame ninja must have hit his head harder that either thought clearly not remembering Sasuke just finishing beating this guy into the ground.

"Or do I have to take you both out?" Oboro rushing Sakura and Sasuke. Sasuke was the first to react. [Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu] Sasuke shot multiple small fireballs from his mouth in an attempt overwhelm Oboro. With a display of agility Oboro manages to dodge Sasukes attack by jumping in the air, draw a kunai, and rush Sasuke, who counters with a kunai of his own. While battling in the air Sasuke sees Naruto tied up in the clearing. To give an advantage Sasuke throws the kunai he has slicing the ropes and draws another one from his pouch. "Thanks Sasuke" Naruto manages to free himself and go on the offensive. While Sasuke is distracted for a split second Oboro throws a barrage of kunai which Sasuke dodges by ducking under a tree branch not realizing that there's a paper bomb waiting for him.

When the paper bomb explodes sending debris everywhere Naruto goes on the offensive and charges the Ame gennin. Sasuke lands on the ground on top of the kunai he freed Naruto with and uses his tree climbing shills to shoot the knife at the ninja. Distracted Oboro dodges Sasukes kunai and right into Narutos own kunai plunging it deep into his chest.

The Ame-nin terror stricken feels the blade easily tear through his left pectoral muscle cut through two of his ribs and slice into his lung barely missing the ninja's heart as Naruto shouts back to his team "careful guys his team could pop out any second. Oboro panting kicks off Naruto & removes the kunai gasping & coughing up the blood that was filling his left lung "I-hack wish. I came al-cough-one to avo-huhg-de suspicion. Big mistake." And with that Naruto let the dying ninja get away as team 7 regrouped.

Sasuke breathing hard after the exchange explained "that alone proves we can't trust appearances… we have to come up with a code that only we know." Sakura didn't know any coding skills so she asked "alright so what should our code be?" Sasuke thought for a moment and said "ok listen up.. The question is: when does a ninja strike? And the answer is: a ninja waits until the time is right when his enemy sleeps and drops his guard when his weapons lie forgotten in the stillness of the night that is the moment for the ninja to strike. Ok?"

Sakura always was good at remembering poems and such so she could remember it easy "got it". Naruto looked at Sasuke with a quizzical expression and asked "you uh got any shorter ones?" Sasuke counting on this in case of sharp ears around said "no that's what we're going with." Naruto tried to catch himself and said "yea I got it I just thought it would be a passWORD… not a passSPEACH." Sasuke and Sakura deadpanned at Narutos obvious lie. When suddenly a scratch formed on Narutos other cheek shocking team seven just before [Fūton:Atsugai] a giant wall of air blasted the area effectively separating team 7. When Sasuke bumped into Sakura he demanded the code which Sakura recited perfectly.. A few moments later Naruto jumped near them and Sasuke asked the same question getting the same result. Team 7 let their guards down then Sasuke throws a kunai at 'Naruto' making him dive comically to the ground. "HEY WHAT WAS THAT FOR?"

"I have to admit your better than the last guy." Sakura shocked asked "wait he got the password right why did you attack?" "That's precisely the point you think Naruto could memorize that, And getting it word for word? Yeah right.. Narutos about as sharp as a crayon, All right come out here and fight us whoever you are."

A look of shock turned into a look of sinister pleasure as oorochimaru appeared disguised as a Grass ninja. "my, my aren't we the cleaver one." Oorochimaru stared at the young Uchiha. "Tell me. Did you know I was listening to your conversation when you made up the password?"

"no that was just a precaution in case anyone was around us."

"I'm impressed… however I have only a little time to play with you." Sasuke and Sakura stared as oorochimaru removed his hat and licked the edge of it with his long tongue in excitement. 'Soon.' He thought 'I'll have an ideal body one capable of sustaining me for a long time to come'

Oorochimaru then took his earth scroll and ate it in one gulp by stretching his jaw & using chakra to seal it away with so many other things. "I see by your reaction that you would love to get your hands on my earth scroll. I bet it would go nicely with your heaven scroll." he finished with a sinister smile.

That's when it hit them a dark malevolent presence seeming to draw the life right out of them. "well, when this is all over one of us will have both scrolls…" Sasuke and Sakura couldn't even move they both felt if they twitched the wrong way this Grass ninja would kill them without a sweat. "and the other.. will be dead" oorochimaru said in the sickly sweet tone of the grass gennin.

Sasuke saw and felt the flesh rip right off of his bones while Sakura could feel her vital organs burst from her body like a caged animal set free. While they were struggling to survive this onslaught the grass ninja launched two kunai at them easily shredding through the metal in their forehead protectors digging past the thin layer of tissue and muscle driving through the bone and into the brain gore spattering their bodies and the ground around them.

Sasuke reeled back once the genjutsu was lifted and struggled to fix his thoughts in proper order he finally managed to kneel down and spew his lunch all over the ground in front of him.

Sakura still in a state of shock couldn't move to even do that. Sasuke knew they had to retreat ASAP but he couldn't move let alone speak. He tried forcing himself to move through willpower and succeeded only in standing upright. "Very good now what happens?" The grass ninja was mocking the poor little avenger.

"Don't worry it will be over soon. After all you've already seen it happen haven't you?" the smile returning to his face his malevolence growing even stronger with each step as the grass ninja moved closer drawing two kunai preparing to strike " I expected you to be more of a challenge how disappointing." With that oorochimaru launched the two kunai at Sasuke and Sakura killing intent reaching an apex.

Sasukes vision blurred he saw the kunai leave the grass ninja's hands and he saw his life pass by his eyes. Eating dinner with his family, setting up kunai targets while Itachi's back was turned, his father teaching him the [Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu] and him succeeding after days and nights of practice, and finally his brother standing over his parents bodies with blood and gore strewn about the room, Itachi's reason for letting him live. That snapped Sasuke back quickly grabbing a kunai and stabbing himself in the leg to overcome the fear he grabbed Sakura and jumped to safety.

"so that's how it is eh?' oorochimaru stared at the two kunai he just threw impacted into a tree. "I wonder how my pet is doing."


Somewhere deep in the forest

"rrrrrgghhh, I have to get around this snake and get back to my team they could be in danger" Naruto was facing his own problem in the form of a 70 foot anaconda. "I know"

[Kage Bunshin no Jutsu]

Naruto spawned 50 clones and each clone threw a kunai with a paper bomb attached to each. The kunai did little to damage the snake. Like throwing cotton balls at a kid. Some did imbed in the scales of the snake after a second all the tags started to spark and with that Naruto snapped his fingers and "boom"

Naruto sped through the snake gore and mess he made after destroying it in such a fashion. He quickly followed the trench made from the Fūton technique back to where his comrades were defending an onslaught from oorochimaru.

Seeing his friend was on the verge of death he spiked his chakra calling on the strength he showed on the bridge against Haku. Narutos features changed his hair becoming wilder, his canines growing to an animalistic length, the birthmarks on his cheeks flaring taking on a feral quality and his eyes turning blood red while his irises narrowed taking on the traits of the fox inside of him

Feeling his blood boil Naruto Leapt in the way of what seemed like a final blow from a summoned snake to the winded avenger Naruto made it just in time. With blades sticking out of the snakes head he panted to Sasuke "Hey, kid you aren't hurt are ya? Scaredy cat?" Sasuke replied with his signature "hmph" and simply stated "showoff".

With Sasuke looking away with his remark oorochimaru seized the opportunity and flash stepped behind Sasuke jabbing him in the back of the neck sending him flying into Sakura who tried to catch the now unconscious Uchiha. Sakura watched in horror knowing what the ninja from the grass village was capable of.

Naruto didn't even see the Sanin move oorochimarus tongue slipped under Narutos arms caching him in a full nelson hold. With his tongue reaching up to reveal the kuubis seal he held his right wrist with his left hand his fingertips glowed blue the kanji was visible within the small blue flames. Jīn, mù, shuǐ, huǒ, tǔ one the seals were completed the vile grass ninja exclaimed [Gogyō Fūin]!

With that Narutos Kyuubi features receded. Naruto could barely stay conscious he knew the tongue lady was powerful to take so much power away with a punch. So in a last ditch effort Naruto side kicked the grass ninja in the jaw successfully releasing the hold the grass ninja had on him. Naruto landed on a separate tree branch trying to make it to Sakura so they could escape. However Oorochimaru quickly recovered and flash stepped in front of Naruto. With eyes wide Naruto found himself looking at a torn face of the grass shinobi revealing a green eye that was slitted with pale skin showing under what was now clearly a mask Oorochimaru then told him in his normal voice. "You are too weak to defend yourself from the cruelties of this world" while grinning and stepping closer oorochimaru continued "poor boy… you don't even realize you've been put under a spell most of your conscious life. You truly are sad but I can teach you to become strong and I can help you draw on a power unimaginable" oorochimaru looked at the boy with pity as he continues his melody. "What do you mean I've been in a spell" Naruto tried not to believe this man's words. "Why my boy most of your real memories are sealed away and some others were changed under a genjutsu spell making you believe lies."

Narutos eyes widened in shock coming to a realization that his life had been filled with unexplained coincidences. " why my dear child" Oorochimaru continued "why don't I show you the 90% of your life that's been a lie" and with that Narutos mind became a sea of agony as seals were ripped open and he saw what the Hokage, some spike white haired old man, kakashi sensei had sealed away

Epilogue

Hope is the worst of evils, for it prolongs the torment of man.
