I've got four broken ribs and a fucked up face and my fucking teammate that I got injured protecting has decided that he needs to kill me, and for what? To test himself? The dirty fuck.

Well if he thinks im about to sit and beg for my life he must be some sort of cunt, what a lot of people don't seem to realise about me is that I should have graduated from the academy three years ago two years above my age group if not for me failing on one pathetic ninjutsu, no leg ups for me like a demented spandex wearing freak I know but I got over that I moved past my anger at that situation because I had a team people who would acknowledge me, people who care for me, who would protect me as I protect them but if this is the sort of attitude I receive for saving this dirty fuck's life, fuck him, fuck everyone what have they done for me? Fuck all that's what.

It was a real life changing moment and it happened in seconds One second I wake to see Sasuke standing over some sound-nin with purple chakra spewing from his tenketsu covered in some sort of freaky tattoo and the next hes glaring at me spouting some fucking bollocks about testing his power well that's it the gloves are off jumping back to put some distance between myself and the rampaging lunatic I plan my attack I can't get caught up in a ninjutsu battle with him mostly because I dont know any offensive jutsu but also because he seems to have power to burn at the moment I summon about a hundred shadow clones.

Its easy to tell hes enraged, not thinking straight where ordinarily the sharingan would allow him to chew through my clones lashing out on all sides to take them down he has tunnel vision for where I was when I summoned the shadow clones, where a shadow clone now stands having kawarimi'd with him in the initial confusion, hes fighting like an idiot and hes taking the blows to prove it unfortunately for me he seems to be shrugging them off like they're little more than annoying gnats.

I had hoped I would be able to overwhelm him with superior numbers and knock him out but as I watch him tear through the last couple dozen shadow clones it occurs to me that I may have to cripple him, Joy, I can already see myself being lynched by the fucking council right now, some righteous retribution.

Fuck it, I watch dispassionately as one of my dopplegangers stabs him hilt deep with a couple of kunai in the back of his hamstrings taking care to avoid his femoral arteries, killing him would cause me all sorts of issues not the least of which would be failing this exam.

As the clone that hamstrung him moves to knock him out with a quick blow to the back of the head its forced to dodge the shuriken sent by my obviously distraught teammate, its clear where the loyalty lies there fortunately for me she's about as useful as tits on a bull and is quickly dealt with by an almighty right hook to the face and by god her head is as hard as a fucking rock my hand is throbbing like all hell and I think I dropped a fucking knuckle never the less shes out and her nose is now plastered across her face, well there goes what little looks she had stupid bitch that she is.

Picking up the Heaven scroll while directing my clones to do the same to my teamtraitors I turn to face the other teams still here Teams 9 and 10 the Hyuuga from Team 10 looks at me for a moment before grabbing the spandexed freak and leaving.

"How about" I intoned "You lot go your way and ill go mine just like with them" I say indicating towards the direction Team 9 have just gone.

"No need for things to get messy " raising my arms in a calming and non-threatening manner but even as I say it I can tell things aren't going to go that easily Ino looks about as pleased with the situation as I am, which is to say just about one step down from outright murderous.

"YOU!, YOU DEMON!"

Sigh, this wasn't going to end even close to peacefully.

"How could you do that to your teammates! My mother was right about you, you are a Demon."

"Ino" Shikamaru started "Perhaps we should just lea..."

"Are you crazy? Didn't you see what he did to them"

"What I did to them?" I question "I didn't attack them I just defended myself, the only reason they aren't dead right now is they are members of my team, with you I would have no such compunctions from gutting you like a two ryo whore"

Instead of backing down as i'd hoped she drew a kunai, well fuck that, before she could blink I rode her to the ground and held a kunai to her throat predictably I was frozen solid as Shikamaru used his family justu on me.

"I'm sorry about this Naruto but we are going to take your scroll and your teammates." moving me off Ino and into a standing position.

"Is that so Shika? I can already see the strain holding that technique is doing to you, I just have to much chakra for it to be easy, why im sure just the littlest thing to distract you will blow your concentration and let me tell you now you really dont want me to have to break out of this my way, so how about you just let me go give me your scroll and we can leave without this turning bloody."

"No way!" Ino screeched "Shika he still has the kunai in his hand make him stab himself"

He paused for a second before looking me in the eye and saying "I'm sorry Naruto i'll make it quick"

As my body moved to reverse my own kunai towards my heart I said "I'm sorry too Shika" and flicked my eyes towards the person behind him.

A dawning look of horror overcame his face as he heard a blade slicing through flesh and he realised I hadnt yet dispelled the shadow clones left over from my battle with Sasuke and in that instant his concentration was lost and the battle was won in true ninja fashion with deceit, cunning and misdirection.

The instant his shadow disconnected with mine I lunged and slashed at Ino's throat then stabbing her a half dozen times before she hit the ground dead, at the same time the shadow clone which had slit Chouji's throat rammed his kunai home through his ear while Shikamaru went down in a hail of kunai fire from the dozen or so clones left.

Rounding up all the serviceable equipment I found on the bodies I made my way quickly and uneventfully to the tower carrying my still unconscious teammates.

It was time to show the world the new me.
