"Flash Back"
Chapter 3
"Wait!? What's that supposed to mean!?" Sakura shouted.
At this Morino Ibiki laughed. "There never was a tenth question to begin with... or rather, you could call your two choices the tenth question." He said smiling.
"Huh?" Sakura replied.
"Hey!! That what were the first nine questions for?!!! They were pointless than!!" Temari yelled out.
"They were not pointless…They had already served their intended purpose." He explained.
"! Hn." Temari let out.
"To test you're your individual information gathering ability… That purpose." He said.
'He suddenly changed personalities' Temari thought. "Information gathering?" She asked.
"First, as the rules explained, success on this test is dependent on the whole team doing well. This puts pressure on the each member not to mess up things for their teams." He explained.
Naruto nodded his head with his arm folder. "That was obvious." Naruto said.
'Lair' Three people thought together.
"But the questions on the test were not the types that could be answer by genin. Because of that most people came to the same conclusion that to score points you would have to cheat. Basically…the premise of this test is to cheat. As cheating targets, we had two or more chuunins who knew all the answers mixed into the crowd. To help you guys out. " He explained. As the two chuunin hidden in the group turned back. Naruto saw that the one he cheated off of was the chuunin and blink.
"Man…sure was tough finding that guy." Somebody from behind Naruto said.
"Sure was." He heard. Naruto just stared blankly at Ibiki. Saeko looked towards Naruto with an eyebrow raised.
'So he cheated and didn't know he was supposed to cheat.' Saeko thought.
'I'll just go with the flow.' Naruto thought. "Yeah, you would have to be an idiot not to realize that." Naruto said.
'Wait he cheated and he didn't know. Damn Naruto I thought you would have figured it out.' Shisou thought.
Ignoring Naruto, Ibiki went on, "Of course those who cheated like fools, were systematically failed. "Why? You might ask," he said pulling off his bandana revealing a bald, scarred scalp. Mostly everyone flinched seeing his scalp. "Because… In times information is more important than life… and on missions and on the battlefield. People risk their lives to get it." He said.
'Horrible…Burns, screw holes scars…The after-effect of torture.' Sasuke thought.
Both Naruto and Shisou eyes glazed over as Shisou right hand when to his chest and Naruto's right hand arm began to shake underneath the desk. 'Hehe, must be worst under those gloves. Of course I wouldn't make the mistake of becoming a prisoner.' The one-eyed oto-nin thought.
'I've seen worst.' Katsu thought. Saeko looked uninterested.
"The information an enemy gets after being noticed by a third person, may not always be accurate. Remember, collecting incorrect information can cause heavy loss to both your teammates and your village. Thus, we made you gather information in the form of cheating." He told them as he retied his hitai-ate bandana. "We simply chucked out those who were lacking in that field during that part of this exam."
"I still don't get the purpose of the tenth question." Temari said.
"The tenth question was the main question of the First Exam." Ibiki answered.
"What do you mean?" asked Sakura.
"The tenth question was a 'take or not take' choice," Ibiki explained, "It was a painful two choice problem, those who did not take it failed with their teams. If you chose to take it and could not answer it your right to take the exam would have been stripped from you forever...A truth leap of faith." Ibiki walked towards the center of the room. "I'll give an example..."
"Say you have been made a Chuunin..." he said, "Your mission is the retrieval of a secret document. Your number of enemy ninja, their abilities and their armament are completely unknown to you. You may even encounter traps set up by enemy ninja. Do you accept this mission or not?" he asked them sternly, "Just because your life, as well as those of your teammates may be in danger, are you going to avoid the mission altogether? The answer is No. There are many missions that involve very heavy risks and can not be avoided." He paused for effect, "Your ability to show your teammates courage when needed and to get through even the worst situations is what we look for in a Chuunin, a squad leader. Those who can not bet their fate in a critical situation... Those who give up when given the chance because there is always next year... and then walk away from their chance. Those pieces of trash who can only make cowardly choices… Don't have the right to be chuunin. That is what I believe. Those of you who stayed, who had chosen to take the tenth question, answered it correctly. You have gotten your foot into the entrance and I believe without a doubt that you can get through the difficulties you will undoubtedly face. The First Exam of the Chuunin Selection Exams end right now. I wish you all good luck." he said with a small, proud, smile on his face. Ibiki, Saeko, Shisou, Katsu, and Naruto glanced at a window as a large object came flying threw the window.
Many of the genin shielded their eyes from the flying shards of glass. Kunai flew from the mass as it seemed to expand. When everyone looked up from the chaos that had taken the room by storm they saw a huge banner with a barely dressed woman in front of it. She was very attractive and was a spitfire of energy. She wore a fishnet tank top, a barely legal miniskirt and a tan trench coat. The banner behind her read 'Second Examiner, Mitarashi Anko is here!'.
"Listen up maggots! This is no time to get happy!" the scantily clad woman shouted, "I am the second examiner, Mitarashi Anko! Let's start the next exam! Follow me!" She said pumping her hand in the air.
'Damn' Shidou thought with a slight blush. It just so happens that Naruto thought the exact same thing.
Ibiki peeked from behind the banner and looked at her. "Bad timing." He said. Anko blushed in embarrassment as she frowned.
'This examiner is Naruto-ish…at least how he used to be.' Sakura thought.
"Seventy eight...?" she asked with a cocky smirk, "Ibiki, you let twenty six teams pass?" Now she was the one speaking in the annoyed tone while Ibiki was glaring at her. "The test was way too easy this time."
"We simply have an exceptional batch of students this time," commented Ibiki. Anko merely huffed in aggravation.
"Oh well..." Anko sighed. "I'll at least cut them half in the second exam." she said darkly.
'At least in half…cut us' Sakura thought scared.
"I'll give you all the details when we change places. Now follow me." She said with a evil look on her face.
Outside of a dense forest
"Danger stay out" Naruto read out loud as he looked at the sign on the gate surrounding the dense forest.
"This is the location of the second exam," said Anko, "Konoha's infamous 44th training ground... The Forest of Death!" she said with a sinister smile.
"The Forest of Death?" asked Naruto.
"What a creepy place..." commented Sakura.
"You'll soon find out EXACTLY why it's called the Forest of Death," said Anko.
"Humph...It just looks like a big forest to me." Naruto mocked. Anko smirked.
"Forest? That just an over grown garden waiting to be cut down." Shisou said stopping by Naruto's right side.
Anko smirk widen as she drew two kunai quickly and threw them at the brothers. Naruto and Shisou didn't move as the kunai flew pass them slightly grazing their face before hitting the ground behind them. Anko appeared behind them with a kunai to each of their necks. "I like you two…" She said semi-seductively before licking the blood leaking from Shisou's cheek. "Because kids like you get kill quickly and spraying the red blood I love" She said switching to Naruto and licking the blood off his cheek.
'Weird woman.' Shisou thought.
'That actually feels nice.' Naruto thought. She suddenly sensed someone and drew a kunai. Anko's eyes suddenly darted away from Naruto to the approaching figure behind her. Drawing a kunai from her wrist holster, she moved to defend herself from her possible attacker, who simply held the kunai Anko had just thrown in her long coiled tongue. Before Anko or the ninja could say anything, the nin felt a sword as his and Anko felt one on hers. They looked at the blades and followed them to the owners. Anko saw Shisou on her right with his nodachi in hand while the female Kusa nin behind her saw Naruto at the end of the sword.
"That wasn't very nice." Shisou said like he was talking to kids.
"Yeah. You two have been very bad girls. We may have to punish you." Naruto added.
"But we could ignore it if you two promise to play nice for now on." Shisou said.
"Or you could just take the spanking." Naruto added directly towards Anko.
"Which one…" Shisou started.
"Will you pick?" Naruto finished. They both had eerie smirks on their face. Anko and the Kusa nin eyes twitched as they looked at them. The Kusa nin turned to Anko with a smirk.
"I guess I will have to apologize now. Though I was just returning your kunai to you" The kusa-nin replied. She didn't look the least bit surprise that they were there.
"Than I guess I should thank you." Anko replied taking the kunai from her tongue. "But you know…You shouldn't sneak up behind me unless you want to die" Anko said with her eyes close. The Kusa nin was about to reply when Anko let out a yelp as two hands hit her backside. She turned her head to her side looking at Shisou and then Naruto with a blush of embarrassment on her face and a cold glare.
"We told you to play nice. Didn't we?" Shisou said.
"But hey if you want a spanking just tell me. I'll be happy to oblige." Naruto said huskily with a smirk. Most of the genin started to snicker at the exchange while a few of them had different opinions.
'Hn, I was right in picking him as my target. His brother is strong I'll give him that but he just seems wrong to me, plus he's holding the katana a little too tightly. I can't wait to fight you Naruto hopefully you will be the one to give me the challenge I need.' Saeko thought with a glint in her eyes.
'I barely saw them draw their katana. They remain me of Saeko. I guess I really will have to add Naruto to my list but Shisou comes first.' Katsu thought. 'Though Saeko would be mad if I took Naruto out before she fought him. Hn, what to do?' He thought smirking.
'You're going down fucker.' Shido thought glaring at Naruto.
'How did they get pass her like that? They couldn't be stronger than me. She must have let them pass.' Sasuke thought.
'Naruto you pervert, I'm going to kick your ass.' Sakura thought.
"Hn, Maybe I'll take you up on that offer later fox boy but for now when have a test." Anko said with a predator-like leer. Naruto and Shisou sheath their blades and moved away from Anko just incase she would attack them. They were lucky when she just walked back to her previous position. Shisou eyed the kusa nin before he walked back to Naruto's side. The Kusa nin smirked and walked back to her team.
"Hey Shisou." Naruto whispered.
"Yeah?" He asked.
"Did we just get away with smacking her ass?" Naruto whispered.
"Yeah I think we did." He said. They looked at each other before they busted out laughing. Anko coughed getting everyone's attention. She glared at the two demon container before speaking.
"Now, before we start the second exam... I have to pass these out to you," she reached inside her trench coat and pulled out a stack of forms. "Release papers. If you wish to take this exam, you have to sign these first."
"Why?" asked Naruto curiously.
"Because there WILL be deaths in this exam, and if I don't have you sign one of these... It would be all my responsibility." Anko answered with a smile, "Also, it's less paperwork this way! Now, I have to explain this exam to you. To make a long story short, you will be part of the ultimate survival exercise." She handed a nearby genin the stack of release forms and they were being passed around to each of the Chuunin hopefuls.
"Survival... Troublesome..." muttered Shikamaru lazily.
Pulling out a map she began to further explain. "First, I'll explain the layout of the exam. Around Training Ground 44 are 44 locked gates. There's a forest, a river and a tower in the center. It's about 10 kilometers between the gates and the tower. During the survival portion in the forest you are to perform a certain task. Each team will be given a scroll marked either heaven or earth. Twenty six teams made it past the first exam, only half... Thirteen... will each get a heaven scroll; the other thirteen teams will each get an earth scroll. Each team will battle for the other one's scroll. You must make it to the tower with both a heaven and an earth scroll with every member of your team."
"So thirteen teams will lose their scrolls?" asked Sakura. "That means half the teams participating will fail."
"True, but there is also a time limit," Anko added, "This portion of the exam will last only 120 hours. Exactly five days from the beginning of the exam."
"F-Five days!" shouted Ino.
"Wh-what about dinner!" shouted Chouji.
"Sorry maggots, but you're on your own!" Anko informed them. "The forest is full of food. Scrounge some up if you have to!"
"Just watch out for the man-eating animals and poisonous plants and insects..." commented Kabuto.
"Ah, man..." Chouji complained.
"That's why it's called survival baka!" hissed Ino.
"It is highly unlikely that thirteen teams will pass." Neji said.
"And as the days progress, the distance from the goal will become farther and farther," Rock Lee added, "And the time to rest will become shorter." He then gave a competitive smirk. "This will definitely get interesting!"
"And the entire area is virtually crawling with enemies..." noted Sasuke, "It is unlikely that anyone will get much rest in any case..."
"So, not only will people fail by losing their scroll, but also if they fail to arrive within the five day time limit." clarified Anko, "While others will perish under the harshness of the course."
"Ummm..." said Shikamaru raising his hand, "Are you allowed to quit during the exam?"
"As a rule, no, there is no giving up in the middle of the exam," Anko replied with a scowl at the Nara boy's question. "You WILL be in the forest for five days regardless."
"Troublesome..." he mumbled, while Ino was visibly restraining herself from bashing her teammate over his head.
"Now, as this is an exam, there are a few things that will get you disqualified," Anko continued, "First, if your team does not make it with BOTH scrolls at the end of the five day time limit. Second, if your team loses a team member through death or incapacitation... In other words, if even one of your teammates is unable to physically carry on. And a final rule... You MUST NOT look inside the scrolls until you make it to the tower."
"What happens if you do?" asked Ino.
"For anyone who does... They will be in for a surprise, and believe me kid, you DO NOT wish to find out," Anko replied with that sadistic smirk that even made the most stoic Genin a bit unnerved. "There will be times where a Chuunin will be asked to handle classified information. This will be to trust your trustworthiness. Well, that's all for my explanations! We'll exchange three forms for either a heaven or an earth scroll over there," Anko said pointing to a desk set up nearby. "And then we will choose which gates will be your starting points and then you will all start together! One final word of advise..." she said with a sigh. "Don't die!"
After everyone was handed a form Naruto went and leaned against a tree. He quickly read the form before signing. He than turned around and looked across each of the teams and smirked.
"Strong opponents, all in the same area all fighting for scrolls, this is exciting." Naruto said with excitement in his voice.
"Calm down, we haven't even started yet. Though I have to agree." Shisou said appearing next to him. "Did you finish filling out your form?" He asked. Naruto nodded before turning to him
"Hn, you know we will also be enemies." Naruto said.
"Yeah but lets avoid each other until the next exam. I want to fight you when everyone watching. That way I could gloat after it's all over and you can't try to change how things happened." Shisou said with a playful smirk.
"As if you will defeat me." Naruto replied.
"You two talk as if you're sure your going to get the chance to fight each other. After all you could be defeated by someone before then." Katsu said walking up to them with his team. Naruto and Shisou turned towards him and his team and smirked.
"That won't happen um…" Naruto started.
"Oh where are my matters. My name is Tamotsu Katsu, That's Osamu Shido, and since you didn't meet her yet." He said looking at Shisou. "She is Busujima Saeko." Katsu said. Shido looked at them blankly while Saeko glanced at Shisou before looking towards Naruto.
"Uzumaki Naruto." Naruto said smirking.
"Uzumaki Shisou." Shisou said also with a smirk.
"Now as I was saying. That won't happen because we are the best and can't be stopped." Naruto said.
"You're very cocky" Shido said with a glare.
"Not cocky. Just very, very confident." Naruto said smirking. Shido glared harder and opened his mouth to say something when Saeko stepped up.
"It's good to be confident in your self but do you have the skills to back it up?" She asked calmly.
"Of course I do Saeko-chan." Naruto said smiling. Saeko looked stunned that he added 'chan' to her name. Shido growled at Naruto and stepped to him.
"You…how dare you address her so familiarly?" Shido snarled.
"Well it was quite simple. First, since I know her name I opened my mouth and said it. Then at the end of her name I said 'chan'. Do you understand now?" Naruto asked slowly. Saeko stared at him with a small grin on her face. Shisou and Katsu were looking at them trying to hold back their laugher. "Though if you don't, I would understand after all you don't look the least bit smart to me." Naruto added.
"You bastard." Shido let out lunging at him. He would had hit him too him if Naruto didn't crouch down to pick up an crumbled paper that was oddly between his feet. Shido crashed into the ground as Naruto looked at it.
"Hey look I found a hundred ryo." Naruto said standing back up. He pocketed it and looked around. "Hey were did Shido-teme go?" Naruto asked. Shisou and Katsu at this point were opening laughing. Even Saeko was chuckling. Naruto turned around to see Shido on the floor and titled his head. "Hey, why are you on the floor?" Naruto asked innocently making them laugh harder. Shido stood up and growled.
"You…you piece of trash!" Shido yelled. At the moment Shisou, Saeko, and Katsu stopped laughing. Naruto and Shisou took on a serious look as they stared at Shido. Naruto turned from him clutching his fist tightly and wordlessly walked away to find his team. Shisou Stared at Naruto before turning back to Katsu.
"It was nice to meet you. But I have to go to my team now. Hopeful we will get to fight in the last round." Shisou said.
"I hope so too." Katsu said. "But I think Saeko would rather fight your brother." He said glancing at Saeko who was still watching Naruto.
"I kind of figured that when I first saw her. Though I was hoping she found him cute enough to date." Shisou said smirking. Saeko snapped out of her thinking and looked towards Shisou with a light blush on her face. Katsu blinked a couple of times before chucking.
"You never know. She could probably want that too. But only time will tell since… she won't even tell me." Katsu said smirking. Saeko narrowed her eyes at him but said nothing.
"Ja ne" He said turning around while casting Shido a glare that made Shido flinch back. Saeko and Katsu held a expressionless look as they watched Shisou leave. Saeko remained quiet and went to lean on the tree to fill out her form while Katsu looked at him with a heated glare.
"You fool. You just made yourself two enemies." He whispered.
"So what? Both of them are weak. They couldn't stand up to me" He replied smugly.
"Hn." 'You are truly a fool Shido… Their eyes, they changed. They held darkness deeper than the darkest abyss. To think one sentence would set them off.' He thought turning around. 'But that just makes me want to fight them all the more. I bet your feeling the same way cousin.' He thought looking towards Saeko as she finished filling out the form.
'His eyes they turned red. Is it a kekkei genkai? No…the only one with red eyes in Konoha is the Sharingan and that has black tomoe in them. His was just red with a slit.' She felt Katsu and Shido stand next to her as she turned around and leaned against the tree. She looked over and saw Naruto standing next to his female team member on his right and the Uchiha on his left.
Reading over his form to make sure every thing was correct, Sasuke watched as they put up a curtain around the desk that had been set up. 'I see... So you can't tell which team gets what scroll... Or even who on the team will be carrying it... Just as Ibiki said... We'll be fighting and risking our lives for this information...' He looked over to Sakura to see her a little nervous and shook his head. He turned to Naruto to see a blank expression on his face. 'What wrong with him?' He thought.
At this moment Naruto was pissed. No beyond pissed. He was so angry he couldn't come up with a right word to describe how pissed he was. That one line brought up a whole lot of bad memories that he did not want to remember, most being violent. He looked at Shido with a glare. If he was anywhere else he would have be dead either by Naruto's hand or Shisou. Naruto turned and saw his brother glancing at him as though expecting him to do something. 'Shisou was always better at holding his emotions in.' Naruto thought. He reached into his pocket and started to finger a necklace that Shisou gave him a few years ago. He came out of his trance when he heard Anko talk.
"Alright, it's about time to exchange for the scrolls!" shouted one of the proctors.
In groups of three, each team moved towards the desk to turn in their Release Forms and retrieve their scrolls.
'I can't help but wonder how many of the teams will actually make it...' Anko checked her watch, "Once you've received your scrolls follow an instructor to your gate of entry! We'll start in 30 minutes!
"Alright!" Kiba shouted. As his team arrived at Gate 16, "This sort of thing is our specialty."
He then noticed Shisou seemed out of it. "Hey, Shisou, you Okay?" He asked.
"Yeah I'm fine. Just thinking." He replied.
"You shouldn't worry about your brother. He will pass." Shino said.
"I know." He said. 'But that doesn't stop the feeling that something bad is going to happen to his team.' Shisou thought.
At Gate 27...
"This sucks... But I guess we'll have to do this troublesome exercise..." complained Shikamaru. "Normally, I'd say we go after Naruto's team, but after what we've seen today, he's come farther than any of the rest of us. Not to mention Sasuke definitely isn't a slouch either. The only one we don't really know about is Sakura, but since Naruto's a lot stronger than he used to be, it stands to chance that she is too," Shikamaru said to Ino and Chouji.
"Hey, which one should I have?" asked Chouji rustling through his pack looking at each bag of chips.
"Baka!" Ino shouted as she bonked him on the head, "Pay attention!"
At gate 23
"So what's the plan?" Katsu asked Saeko.
"Why are you asking me? You usually come up with the plans." She replied.
"Even if I do, we usually wind up using you plan after hearing mine. So I thought to just skip the process." Katsu said.
"But that isn't why you're asking me." Saeko replied.
"As fast as ever I see. So are we going after Naruto's team in the forest?" He asked.
"Why would you want too?" She asked him.
"Well I would rather fight Shisou in the next exam so all it leaves is Naruto." He said.
"I say we take him out in the forest." Shido said with an evil smirk.
"I want to fight him in the next exam too so we'll avoid him for now." Saeho said ignoring Shido's comment.
"Fine with me but If I wind up fighting him, just to say no hard feelings." He said.
"If you don't kill him there will be none." Saeko said emotionlessly.
"That's hard to guarantee." He said with an evil smirk. Saeko merely looked at him and turned back to the forest.
'They are ignoring me.' He thought clutching his fist tightly.
Over at Gate 12...
"Finally we are starting." Naruto said excitedly.
"Shannaro!" Inner Sakura agreed with Naruto, while Sakura merely smiled and Sasuke gave his trademark confident smirk. From a nearby loud speaker Anko's voice was heard at each gate.
"The second exam of the Chuunin Selection Exam begins now!" After she said this a loud horn sounded and each of the gates opened.
The team walked into the forest and after a few minutes a sudden scream stopped them in their tracks
"That was fast." Naruto said.
"That looks like it's started," stated Sasuke.
"I'm a little nervous..." said Sakura.
"We should probably speed up before all the scrolls are taken." Naruto said. Sakura and Sasuke nodded and they jumped to the trees. After ten minutes of leaping from the trees, Team 7 stopped and landed in the clearing.
"So anyone got a plan?" Naruto asked. They both looked at him before going deep into thought. After a few minutes Sasuke looked up.
"We should head to the tower. Everyone else will be headed there so we have a better chance of finding someone with an earth scroll than to just go looking around." Sasuke said.
"Great idea Sasuke-kun" Sakura shrieked.
'That isn't that complicated. But what else to expect?' Naruto thought. "Your plan sucks." Naruto said.
"Naruto shut up. You're just mad you didn't think of it." Sakura said.
'Bitch' Naruto thought.
"We will stick to… look out!" Sasuke said grabbing Sakura and jumping out the way. Naruto jumped back quickly as a dozen of kunai came raining down on them. When they landed they turned quickly to the direction of where the kunai came from. They saw a genin from grass. She has long black hair and is wearing beige shirt and blue pants.
"Ku, ku, ku, ku. Look what we have here. An Uchiha, Haruno, and an Uzumaki. It must be my lucky day." She said.
"Lucky day? Yeah right you're going to get your ass kicked." Naruto said recognizing the girl.
"Really now?" She said with an amused smile on her face. She reached into her kunai pouch and brought out a brown scroll with the Kanji for earth on it.
"Hey she got the earth scroll." Sakura said. Sasuke smirked arrogantly as he looked at her.
"How about your hand that over and you will leave here alive." Sasuke said smugly.
"Ku, ku, ku if you want it come take it from me." She said opening her mouth. She put the scroll in her mouth and swallowed it.
"Ewww! That is gross. I don't even want that scroll anymore." Naruto said with a disgusted look on his face. Sakura and Sasuke nodded as they stared at the grass ninja.
"Lets see what you got." She said pulling down the skin under her right eye. Suddenly all three of them were hit with intense killing intent. Team 7 saw various flashes of their own deaths splayed right before their very eyes. Blood was everywhere, kunai embedded into their foreheads, bodies mutilated until they were just barely recognizable. All three of them looked in shock frozen at what they just saw. Two of them out of fear while the other of out of shock. They started to shake as they stared at her.
'A genin should not be able to do that.' Naruto thought as he recovered from the jutsu. The grass ninja looked at Naruto as he stopped shaking her smirk getting wider.
"You are very interesting Uzumaki Naruto. How about we play?" She said.
"Fine with me." Naruto said smirking. He walked in front of his team and made a T-like sign. "Kage Bunshin no jutsu." He said. Three clones appeared in a puff of smoke. Two quickly grabbed Sakura and Sasuke and leap off into the trees with the other one heading into the forest after them. Sasuke tried to protest but couldn't due to the affects of the jutsu. Naruto turned serious as he looked at the Nin. "Just who the fuck, are you?" Naruto said.
"It seems you realized I'm not a genin Uzumaki Naruto or should I say your real name? Namikaze Naruto, son of the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato, and Uchiha Haizai, the strongest Uchiha that generation since Itachi. Too bad you haven't activated the Sharingan. You might have been a great container"
"I repeat, who are you?" Naruto asked spreading his legs with his left arm limp in front of him and his right hand on the katana on his back.
"I'm Orochimaru of the legendary Sanin." She said with her voice changing into a masculine one and her pulling down her face. Yellow eyes locked with Naruto's narrowed blue eyes.
"What are you doing here then snake-teme?" Naruto asked in a dangerous tone even though he knew he didn't stand a chance.
"I would so love to take your body, Naruto-kun, but since you're useless right now, I'd rather not. I'll just take your older brother after all he is much more powerful than you." He said smirking.
"I will not let you near my brother." Naruto snarled angrily. He ran at Orochimaru while reeling his fist back. Naruto threw a punch when he reached Orochimaru just to have it blocked. Orochimaru punched Naruto away. He watched Naruto hit a tree before hearing a burning sound. He looked down seeing a kunai with a explosive tag on it and jumped away as it exploded. Naruto landed on the ground drawing his sword and holding it slanted in front of him. The stainless steel shinned brightly reflecting the suns rays of the blade. He saw the dust disappear revealing Orochimaru who was farther away from the blast area.
"Kukuku you're a pest." He said laughing. He bit his thumb and did a few hand seals. "Kuchiyose no jutsu!" A giant brown snake appeared underneath Orochimaru. "Eat him" He said. The snake looked its eyes on Naruto and quickly dived towards him with its jaw open. Naruto simple smirked as he added chakra to his sword.
"Kenkai: Chakra no yaiba." Naruto said. Visible whitish blue chakra engulfed the blade and expanded forty more inches longer and 10 inches wider. The chakra took on the form of a double edged sword with the sword as the medium. Naruto held the sword horizontally as the snake came closer. Naruto acted quickly just as the snake reached him. Naruto jumped to the right side causing the snake to rush into his sword. Just as the sword was in it's mouth Naruto twisted the blade so the edge was pointing upward and the other one was pointing towards the ground. Naruto jumped up swinging his katana upward.
Orochmaru leap off the snake as the sword sliced through its flesh, cutting its eyes to it's upper jaw off the rest of the body. Blood flew into the sky as the chakra blade disappeared. The top part of the snakes head hit the ground with a loud thump causing dirt to be lifted into the air. Naruto looked around as he descended to the ground. Right when Naruto landed he doubled over coughing out blood due to the fist in his stomach. Orochimaru pulled his fist back and brought his right leg upward kicking Naruto in the face. Naruto flew back into the air and landed face first on the ground. After a few seconds when Naruto didn't get up Orochimaru walked towards him.
"I see. This is all you have to offer." Orochimaru said stopping right in front of him. Naruto eyes snapped open as he quickly pushed himself off the ground with his hands. Naruto flipped in the air aiming to kick Orochimaru. The sanin leaned back dodging the attack and punched the demon container in the middle of his back. Naruto flew back but continued his flip, landing on the ground in a crouch as he slid back. He came to a stop and slanted his sword right in front of him. He didn't get a chance to recover as he heard a shout.
"Sen'eijashu" Orochimaru said as multiple snakes came from his sleeves heading towards Naruto. Naruto quickly brought his sword up while releasing chakra into the air. He gathered the chakra lashed wind around his sword as he jumped back dodging the snakes. The snakes turned and headed towards him. He raised his sword overhead ready to strike.
"Futon: kyokudo reza Kaze." Naruto yells swinging his sword downward. A large gust of wind comes down from his sword hitting and slicing up the snakes. Blood and snake parts fall to the ground as Naruto lands. He turns quickly leaning back dodging a punch. Naruto swings his katana horizontally at Orochimaru's head. He ducks only getting a few strains of hair cut. Naruto lets up his feet trying to kick him only to be blocked. Orochimaru rose quickly giving Naruto an uppercut also lifting him into the air. Naruto flew back but recovered flipping in the air and landing on his feet.
Naruto panted as he wiped the blood off his chin as he stared at the smirking snake summoner. Naruto stood up and added chakra to his legs for a burst of speed. "Ku, Ku, Ku, Ku. Since you favor Kenjutsu let me draw my blade." He said. "Kusanagi no Tsurugi: Ku no Tachi!" Orochimaru opened his mouth and a huge snake head appeared and opened its' mouth. It seemed to be spitting out a sword hilt. He grabbed the hilt of the sword and pulled it from the snake's gaping maw as it retreated back into his own mouth. "Lets go Naruto-kun." He said mockingly ignoring Naruto's disgusted looked.
Naruto shook off his disgust and suddenly burst forward with incredible speed with his sword pointing to his right side. Naruto swung his blade horizontally only to hear the clang sound of the metal of the two katana colliding. Naruto spun to his left twisting the blade and swung it horizontally again. Orochimaru looked on with glee as he blocked other strike. He pushed Naruto blade back and went on the offensive. Naruto tried to block as many swings as he could but Orochimaru was just too fast. For every one that he block or evaded, he would get cut twice. Soon Naruto was covered with bleeding wounds as he continued to block attacks. 'Come on Naruto. You are stronger than this. See his moves.' Naruto thought. Orochimaru's strikes started to get clearer to Naruto but he still wasn't fast enough to block most of them. Naruto had enough and jumped back.
He added chakra to his sword again as he landed. "Sonikku yaiba" He said swinging his sword downward. A vertical sonic arc appeared heading straight for Orochimaru. He jumped out of the way dodging the attack still smirking. Orochimaru looked upon Naruto, his black shirt that now had several slashes through it showing his bloody chain mail shirt. Orochimaru ran towards Naruto at a quick pace with his sword positioned for a thrust. Naruto could now pick up most of his movement and jumped to the side dodging the strike. Once he landed he ran at him while adding chakra to his sword. "Ryuu no Mai: Sonikku kata." Naruto said as he reached him. Naruto brought his sword upward hitting Orochimaru's Kusanagi and pushing Orochimaru into the air. After he was high enough Naruto jumped after him. Orochimaru saw this and got ready to defend. Naruto started thrusting his sword forward multiple times only for Orochimaru to block them. After fourteen thrusts Naruto then spun in air and hit Orochimaru's sword causing him to fly towards the ground.
Naruto quickly started swinging his sword towards the snake in multiple ways releasing sonic arcs. After he was done he dropped to the ground and wait for the dust that was picked up to clear. After a few seconds he saw through the dust cloud seeing only mud. 'Fuck' Naruto thought. He sheathed his sword and did some hand seals as he looked around for the snake. He sensed a presence behind him and jumped forward though he wasn't quick enough to completely avoid the slash from Orochimaru. Naruto gritted his teeth trying to block out the pain as he turned around. "Katon: Goukakyuu no jutsu." Naruto said blowing out a huge fireball.
The fireball complete engulfed Orochimaru making him scream out. Naruto stopped the jutsu and looked at what remained. He saw a burned log and quickly turned around drawing his katana and holding it in a blocking position. Orochimaru swung his sword down at Naruto with a smirk on his face. His Kusanagi cut straight through Naruto's katana as he brought it down. Orochimaru's katana tip hit the ground as blood erupted from the long gash coming from Naruto's collar bone to his waist. What was left of Naruto's sword dropped from his hand, just before Naruto himself fell to the ground. "Ku, Ku, Ku, Ku. You did pretty well Naruto-kun but not well enough." Orochimaru said as he watched Naruto half opened eyes.
Just then they heard a loud scream that came in the direction of where Sasuke, and Sakura was taken. "Ah! It seems like my clone is finally done with Sasuke." He said looking off into the forest. He turned back to Naruto and smirked evilly.
"B-bastard." Naruto said weakly.
"Ku, ku, ku. Still have enough energy to insult me I see. Oh well time to go after your brother." He said. Orochimaru looked at a tree to his right before laughing evilly and disappeared. After ten seconds Naruto disappeared in a puff of smoke just the broken remains of his sword behind.
Naruto growled from his hiding place behind a tree knowing that he had been let go. He is holding his wound that was starting to heal with a red glow. 'Fuck he not only wounded me but he broke my sword.' Naruto thought. 'If I didn't see my clone here I might have actually got that full strike. But this is my own fault for letting my anger control me again.'
Naruto forced himself to stand up and walked from behind the tree. He walked over to the stop were his clone was. He looked at the remains of his katana and shook his head. He turned around to where he heard his teams scream. 'I'm s-sorry A-Aniki b-but you are going to have to fight on your own.' Naruto thought weakly. He focused on Sakura's chakra signature and started charging up chakra. 'I c-can't s-stay here. I m-must get t-to my team.' He thought he started to move only to fall on something. He blinked before sighing as he was picked up. "Go..to my team." He said. The clone under him nodded before dashing quickly.
