Okay, this is about the size of each of the following chapters, a full five pages long. Many coments on the spelling of resangan. (rasengan, resengan, rasangan) It is what it is people, I'm not changing it because I'm not sure which is correct.

I hope you enjoy this chapter, the only reason I asked for reviews in the first was because I wasn't sure if I wanted to pursue it. Once again, Reviews and Ideas make me type faster. (So does a gun to my head, but lets avoid that area shall we?)


Naruto grinned in an evil manner as his students stood at the edge of the giant battle field. He grinned as they looked at the giant area that was purely a giant combat obstacle riddled course, in the middle their was a fortress that was about the size of four houses put together.

"Your job is to infiltrate the fortress in the middle and receive a scroll, there is only one in the center of the fortress, and it is riddled with traps you have to avoid, it took me two hours to set up the traps."

"The area towards it is also filled with traps, none are lethal, but have paint, or genjutsu instead, if I find enough paint that would cause a severe wound on you, you fail. Some genjutsu you can dispel, others you can't." Naruto explained as he jumped up back to the fortress with out touching the area between. "I will walk inside, when a fire ball shoots out of the pillar on top of the fortress you begin." Naruto said pointing to a chimney.

"You are not allowed to 'eliminate the competition'." Naruto said staring at them. "Or I'll give the hokage a recommendation to postpone your ninja career for a year or two." Naruto said as he ran into the cave which was being lit with torches as he ran.

Naruto ran through the complicated maze often having to stop in order to check a map he had made. "So confusing that any single person could get lost in it, good thing I made a map." Naruto said aloud to himself as he took a right down the maze.

-- Hokage tower --

"Come in." The hokage announced to the knocking at the door of his office. Umino Iruka stepped in rubbing the back of his head.

"Hokage-sama." He said as he bowed. "I was wondering if you could tell me about Uzumaki Naruto." Iruka said the name with disdain as Sarutobi took a long drawl on his pipe.

"Uzumaki Naruto has a few names he's acquired over these past three years. He is also a very good young man, his strength only comes from hard work." Sarutobi said answering several unasked questions. "Though it's going to take a miracle for them to pass his test." Iruka's mouth opened.

"W-Why hokage-sama?" Iruka asked as the hokage stood up looking out the window with his back to Iruka.

"To put it short, his entire personality is perfectionist, he could have become chunin two years younger then he did beating Itachi by a year, but he said he was not strong enough, he measure's his own strength on being able to beat three people of a certain level, that is the level he puts himself at in his mind." Sarutobi said turning around.

"B-But, that would mean. . ." Iruka said as he left the sentence unfinished.

"Hai, he can defeat three high level jounin, in fact that was his test to become jounin." Sarutobi said as he sighed. "Each member of the team he is trying will have to have to be emotional stable, and strong enough to beat three genin. They will also have to be completely selfless." Sarutobi finished. "Your here because you worry for Takashi?" Hokage asked as Iruka froze before nodding.

"Hai. . ." He said looking at the ground. Sarutobi realized he probably crushed the teachers hopes.

"Then again, with Kage bunshin, Takashi alone might pass." Sarutobi said as Iruka looked up. "He asked one request of me in order for him to be a jounin sensei, he didn't have to pass all three." Sarutobi finished.

-- Training ground 13 --

Sasuke, Sakura, and Takashi looked towards the fortress waiting for the signal, they all were extremely nerved by this test, clarity vs speed. Too fast and a trap could take you. Too slow and you wont get there first.

"Agreed, we stick together until the first fork in the path." Sakura said as they all locked pinky's to swear it.

"It seems too small." Takashi said as Sakura and Sasuke looked over to him. "Think of how long it's taken sensei to get to the main room or something." Sakura thought for a second.

"He's got a point, maybe it goes down?" Sakura asked as Sasuke nodded.

"That's probably it." Sasuke said as he flinched, he thought it would be a basic short test through the simple area about 65 meters, instead it might take an hour or two to get down there. "And he's probably got some place where he can watch us."

-- 300 meters below the ground --

Naruto sighed from inside the cave, he had learned other jutsu for sure, though only practical ones, everything else was left to resangan. He sighed as he was almost seeing out thirty eyes, it put lots of strain on the mind, it was a technique called tajuu boushi, mass eye. A technique that works as a camera system. He smiled as they all went into the front. . .

-- Team 7 --

Takashi, Sasuke, and Sakura ran into the temple as torches lit as they ran. They all stopped in front of a inscription in calligraphy on the wall.

"The wandering traveler dies alone, the wandering travelers make it home, many paths you take, many lives at stake. All lead to the same inevitable fight, welcome to my fortress tonight." Sakura read out as Sasuke scoffed.

"Certainly does put you on edge, come on lets go." Sasuke said as he felt a grab at his sleeve from Takashi.

"No. This is a definite clue that will determine how we will fair from here on." Takashi said as he read it over again. "The wandering traveler dies alone, the wandering travelers make it home, many paths you take, many lives at stake. All lead to the same inevitable fight, welcome to my fortress tonight." There is more to this.

-- Naruto --

Naruto sat in his secret 'bat cave' as he watched the kids read the inscription. He chuckled at them. "It certainly obvious, though I like that Takashi, looking underneath the underneath just like my old team mate." Naruto said as they continued to look at the scripture.

-- Team 7 --

"The beginning, it says traveler, then travelers. Maybe we go together?" Takashi asked as Sasuke scoffed.

"Then only one person gets to pass." Sasuke said pointing out the obvious. "I'm going, you wont follow me, or I'll make sure to take you out of the contest right now." Sasuke said as Takashi sighed as Sasuke dashed off into the distance.

"Sorry, I'm going with Sasuke kun, I would rather fail then fall under a genjutsu, those are always horrible." Sakura said shivering. He remembered the class when Iruka cast a genjutsu on each student so they would know what it was like.

Takashi sighed as he ran as well, surely a scream or something would indicate a trap if he hit one. He ran trying to catch up when he hit a three way fork. "Oh crap." He said simply as he ran left.

-- Naruto --

Naruto smirked as they each went different ways. He recited to himself. "The wandering traveler dies alone, the wandering travelers make it home." He said as he recited the poem. He grinned as he watched the students make their way through. He had an eye at each turn, trap, and place where something could happen

-- Sasuke --

Sasuke ran through the tunnels reciting his sensei's words. 'Revenge is hollow Sasuke, it will infect you, spread through you, and make you weak.' He stopped as he noticed another poem on the wall. "If you went down the straight path, you're in for a bath." Sasuke read as he suddenly turned only for stone walls to slam on either side of him trapping him, water started coming in through the floor as it began to fill the room. Sasuke turned banging on the walls.

-- Takashi --

Takashi ran, though not too fast as he tried to sense for danger. He stopped as he saw another sign. He looked at it squinting.

"If you went left, in order to live, commit theft." Takashi read as suddenly paint began to shoot out the walls. He was sweating as he found a small shelter, the projectiles seemed to know where he was going. He suddenly saw a money pouch on a pedestal at the end of the hall. He thought over what to do. "If you went left, in order to live, commit theft!" He shouted as he started to run creating Kage bunshin as human shields, they only provided two or three shots before poofing.

-- Sakura --

Sakura ran down the corridor as she saw a sign like the one at the beginning. She looked at the writing as she read it aloud. "You who went right, try to escape the night." She read as suddenly a giant black mass of pure darkness started heading towards her. She screamed as she began to run down the hall, though the hall seemed to go on forever.

-- Naruto --

Naruto sat in the lair with the scroll on a small pedestal, on top of a silky red cushion. He smirked as he watched Sasuke with water slowly coming up.

"How lucky, they each got the one suited to them, just as I thought, Takashi has the most potential as a taijutsu expert, Haruno got good grades in genjutsu, and Sasuke got good grades in mostly ninjutsu." Naruto said as they each were in their perspective trap.

-- Takashi --

Takashi ran ask he dodged left and right, after the first couple meters he found out they shot from the roof too. He ran panting as he saw the pouch right at the end of the tunnel. He dived over the pedestal paint still shooting as he grabbed the pouch doing a somersault for recovery.

He smiled as he heard a noise inside the pouch. He looked in to see four slips, one said wisdom, one said strength, one said intelligence, and the other said willpower.

-- Sasuke --

Sasuke suddenly noticed a small hold not quite big enough for his hand to fit through. He looked through and saw three targets made of paper. He flashed through seals ending on tiger. He blew out a breath as he managed to hit one of the targets.

He grinned as he flashed through again hitting the other two. He panted lightly as the water flooded down through the floor again, and the doors opened. He grinned as he noticed a tag around the pole holding up the targets. Somehow they had not burned. He picked them up looking at them. They said charisma, constitution, weakness.

-- Sakura --

Sakura continued to run from the darkness, she suddenly stopped, nothing like that really exists, she paused as she turned and ran towards it. She drew her hands back in a tiger seal at her waist. She charged forwards into the darkness, an incredible cold washing over her body as she thrust out the tiger seal.

"Kai!" She shouted as the darkness began to disappear. She smirked as she pumped her fist into the air. "Yatta!" She shouted as she noticed four paper slips fluttering towards the ground. She picked them up as she looked at them. They said love, friendship, united.

-- Naruto --

Naruto grinned from his lair in the place, they still each had three more tests ahead of them. Though they didn't have to know this, but he liked crushing hopes it makes the person stronger. He monitored the three as he watched them head away from the challenges. He chuckled, as he grinned to himself. "Warm ups over ladies." He said as the three genin hopefuls continued down the corridors.

-- Takashi --

Takashi ran around corners as he saw another sign. He looked at it reading it. "To you who took this path, rest your head. For soon your going to be utterly dead. Little children playing hide and seek, " Takashi read with a frown. "Damn these signs are getting on my nerves!" He shouted out as he looked around waiting for a trap.

Well he didn't see a trap, but himself. His mouth was hung open wide as the clone waved and greeted him. "Hello." It said as Takashi stared at it.

"What? Who are you?" Takashi asked gaping at it.

"I'm you, I've taken over your body. Your dead." It said simply as it giggled like a little boy. Takashi looked to himself noticing he was glowing slightly and was translucent. "Catch me if you can!" It shouted in a child like voice as It began to run around a corner. Takashi chased after it.

"Hey come back!"

-- Sasuke --

Sasuke came across another sign as he read it out. "Boys are made of snips, snails, and puppy dogs tails. While tigers are made of teeth and katydids, but mostly chewed up little kids." Sasuke heard a growl as he stiffened.

He turned around to see three large tigers staring at him. "Stupid poem!" He shouted as a battle cry charging Kunai in hand. He shoved the kunai at one only to see it jump back quickly. 'These aren't normal tigers.' Sasuke thought as the beasts circled him.

-- Sakura --

Sakura noticed a sign again as she turned to read it. "Your too up tight, you need to be more flimsy. You might get lose from this fright, The only hint is Kawarimi." She read out as cement walls landed on either side of her and the roof began to close in on her. She turned to see a small hole near the bottom of the wall. Only big enough for a kunai. . .


I'm trying to make Naruto seem like one of the devious evil masterminds. . . No not the stupid ones from saturday morning cartoons.

"Maybe I'm better off being a bad guy ne?"

I don't know Naruto, in this story you idolize a protector of konoha, so you don't have any option in the matter.

"What? That's slavery!"

Indeed it is, now go back to your box before I decide tonights meal will be served cold.

There you have it, Naruto might be a good bad guy, but I'm better.

"Good bad guy? Isn't that a contradiction?"

So is military intelligence, but that's life.

Sasuke, don't heat up Naruto's dinner tonight, he won't listen to orders.

"Yes, writer-sama."

Good mindless slave, want a doggy treat?

"Your too kind."

Ahem, anyway review and give me ideas,

NO RESANGAN SPELLING REVIEWS!
