Hrmmm… I've been really into this fantasy book, yes, I am that much of a dork, but who cares… Anyways, it's an R.A. Salvatore book, and it's AMAZING! And a long series, so it's kept me busy! But it's called, "The legend of Drizzt." I advise everyone to read this! Though, the beginning of the first book is slow for the first 10 pages, but after that, it's soooo great, seriously! Well, here it is though, the mix of the Drizzt series and Naruto… Wow, how bored am I? Lol, enjoy and review please! Oh! I do not own Naruto or anything that has to do with the Forgotten Realms. And the only thing I did make up was Kuro, the village hidden in darkness…

Atsusa: Drizzt's Kekkai Genkai, it gives Drizzt Infravision, AKA, he can see heat, like a snake does.

Yami-Kyuu: Sakura's Kekkai Genkai, it gives her the power to summon darkness that even Drizzt's Atsusa cannot see through.

Kuuchuufuyou: Artemis's Kekkai Genkai, it gives him the power to levitate. It drain's a bit of his chakra, though he can go fast, slow, though not side-to-side.

Chapter 1: Village hidden in the Darkness…

----------

Sakura stood side by side with her two teammates. She gave them both a warm smile, only receiving one back from each. Slowly, they walked out from the well-hidden stairwell and out into the world of light. Sakura glared into the sunlight and winced, along with the two males behind her.

"I guess we'll be out here for quite a while…" Artemis muttered under his breath. He hardly ever hid his disgust of things, or even tried to. He was used to being scolded, but he always took it with apathy, knowing full well there was nothing they could do that would change him.

Sakura smiled back at her dark-haired friend. "Sorry Artemis-kun, you'll have to get used to it just like me and Drizzt-kun. Though you don't have to worry about being blinded quite as much as him." She jabbed a thumb in the direction of her ebony-skinned friend. It was true, he had never before been out in the sun for any longer than two days, and he had taken time in between to rest his sensitive eyes.

Drizzt sighed though said nothing. He flipped a strand of his white hair out of his face and walked forward. "While I am excited to be out here, in the sun, I am a little worried about how my Atsusa will work. It might just turn out that everything will be white…" He sighed and rubbed his temples. "At least this won't be a boring trip…" Sakura and Artemis nodded their heads in agreement, and slowly made their way to their destination.

"I can't wait for it to start!" Naruto wailed on the top of his lungs in the Ramen booth, annoying his two teammates. Naruto continued his conversation to an un-hearing Sai, and un-caring Sasuke. Sasuke had just about enough of Naruto's rambling, and got ready to yell, when luckily, someone cut in for him.

"Oi, you there, kid with the whiskers!" he heard a feminine voice call out. He turned around along with Naruto and Sai to see three shadowy figures, all with capes, and all with the hood up. Their capes blocked their hitai-ate, but he knew they weren't from around Konoha.

The one who had spoke up originally was smacked on the head from the other black-hooded figure, while the other in the purple hood started to break them up. When they had settled, the purple hooded had won and got the two black-hooded figures to stop fighting, and they all three turned their attention back onto Naruto, Sai and Sasuke.

"Err, sorry about that…" the smallest one yelled, coming closer, the other figures in tow.

Slowly, they let their hood's fall, revealing a pink-haired, green eyed kunoichi, the first to originally talk to them; a dark-haired nin with dark untrusting eyes, the same who had started a fight with the kunoichi; last to reveal themselves was the same who had stopped the two's bickering. He had dark skin, ebony, almost pitch-black, for a lack of a better word. The most interesting thing about him was not quite his dark skin, but the white hair and purple eyes he had. It had to be the most amazing thing almost anyone could have ever seen on a human. But the thought was quickly shrugged off as Sasuke spoke up.

"Who are you guy's, and what do you want with Naruto?" It was less of a question then a demand. He wanted answers, so Sakura decided to give it to him, despite his rudeness.

"I," the kunoichi with pink hair pointed to herself, "am Sakura Haruno. These are my two teammates, Artemis Entreri," she pointed to the dark eyed male, "and this one's Drizzt Do'Urden. We're here for the chunnin exam's, but we got her a bit early and need to find a hotel or Inn to stay at."

Sai cocked his head to the side, obviously confused. "I'd be glad to help, but would you mind telling me where you're from? I don't recognize your hitai-ate." He flashed them his fake grin.

The one named Artemis grunted and pointed to his neck in general. "Were from, as you could see, Kuro, village hidden in the darkness. Not to may people even know it exists." He then pointed directly at the hitai-ate. It had an odd symbol resembling a sharp-toothed shark. (it look's like this[: VVVV : )

Sasuke gave them a suspicious look, but nodded. "The best lodging that you could get at an affordable cost would be the Hoteru. It's just around the corner, you'll see the sign on the door." Sakura gave him an appreciative smile, and a small bow, and turned to leave. Drizzt did the same, while Artemis just walked away. Sasuke 'hmph'ed and turned back to his bowl of ramen.

Naruto just watched them leave, their hood's back on. When they were out of view, he quickly whispered to Sasuke and Sai. "Matte, that girl, Sakura, she was cute, ne? And what was with that Drizzt guy? He looked awesome!" Sai shrugged and took out his sketchpad.

"To be honest, he'd make a wonderful sketch, along with that gaunt guy. What was his name? It started with and 'A'…" he stopped and pondered his new problem.

Sasuke shrugged, stood up and paid for his money. "See you tomorrow at the exams." He mumbled out at left, leaving poor Sai all alone with the hyper active Naruto.

"Good thing we got this room!" Sakura sighed as she fell right on the couch. "We went all the way from Lightning to Fire!" she sighed again and snuggled into one of the pillows.

"Hey, Drizzt, Sakura-chan. Did you feel that one kid's chakra? The one called Naruto?" Artemis asked, genuinely curious.

Sakura raised her head off of the couch to stare at him, deep in thought.

"Yeah, it had a weird demonic touch to it. What do you think Drizzt-kun?" their ebony friend just shook his head.

"There's no doubt that it was there, but it was so faint… He may have some type of suppressed power or whatnot." He looked at his teammates with concern. "We should stay away from that one, along with the boy who had given us the directions here." Sakura and Artemis both nodded.

"Let's get some rest though. I wanna be ready for tomorrow." Sakura yawned. But before she made it to one of the three beds, she gave a thoughtful look to the bathroom. "Well… I'll take a shower first." With that, she was gone, not to be seen again for a good hour, seeing as how they had traveled through lots of mud.

"Oi, Drizzt, what do you think?"

"What do you mean, Artemis?" he gave him a confused look from where he sat down in a small chair by a window.

"Do you think that we'll pass this alright?" Artemis had no hint of fear in his voice, but her knew places were different. Maybe Konoha had nin's trained just as well as they did in Kuro, then again, maybe not. Either way, he wasn't afraid, though he was curious as to how much of their power's they would have to reveal.

Drizzt shrugged. "We'll do whatever it takes to pass. Remember, we are representing Kuro over ourselves." He then looked Artemis straight in the eyes. "And Artemis?" the male addressed nodded. "If we have to fight against each other, you and I, don't hold back." Drizzt put on a bit of an evil smirk, as did Artemis. Both had been rivals from the day they were born. Both happily accepted the rivalry as well.

"Hokage –sama. The nin from Kuro have arrived, sir. They will be participating in tomorrow's events."

Sarutobi nodded and turned around; facing the window of the Hokage's office, pipe in his mouth. "We will survey them closely tomorrow. Kuro has recently informed us that the three they sent here are supposedly already of ANBU status. The only reason they are not yet ANBU is due to the fact they have an age limit…"

The three ANBU in the room nodded, bowed and poofed away.

'Let's see what the new generation has in store for us…'

Sarutobi sighed and sat back down. Looking down to a file on his desk. 'Sakura Haruno, Drizzt Do'Urden, and Artemis Entreri. All come with their own Kekkai Genkai!?' he was shocked and wanted to read ahead, but quickly refrained from doing so. 'I will wait for when the actual exam's start.'

He sighed and walked out of his office to get some fresh air.

"Konan, I want you to look up more information on this so-called Jarlaxle Do'Urden." Pein (Pain, I don't really know which one is right… Just leader, how's that?) Commanded from the tower balcony in Rain.

Konan quickly nodded and fluttered away in a million little pieces of paper.

'This 'Jarlaxle' could be a great gain to Akatsuki… He has all of the qualifications, but appears to be a bit of a leader…' He sighed and turned to retire to the sleeping chamber. 'Maybe we could persuade him to join, as we did to Deidara…'

Yay! There's the first chapter! I hope you guy's liked it! I thought it was good… But that might be because I actually read both of the novels… I doubt there is many people out there on this website that even know what a drow is…

BTW! IMPORTANT! In the 'Legend of Drizzt' books, Drizzt is a 'Dark elf,' AKA, a drow. And the drow are, literally, 'Dark elves,' and they area an evil race, but Drizzt was all nice and stuff… And he had purple eyes, while most drow have red eyes… Anyways, the drow are very evil, and are a 'slit-thought' community, and you're most likely to get stabbed in the stomach than stabbed in the back…

Read and REVIEW!! Please!!!
