The Twin guardians of Hidden Leaf

Chapter 3 chunin exams: Survival Test Battles in the Forest of Death

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto please support the official Release

Naruto and Jiraiya worked on the summoning the rest of the afternoon. Naruto had the summoning down where he could summon most any toad he needed without much effort but the only for he didn't try to summon was the three elder sage toads and Gamabuta.

Naruto went the Uchiha district and had dinner with his sister and his teammate Sasuke's family. Akari asked, "Naruto if he learned anything cool from Master Jiraiya?"

"Yeah, I did, I learned to summon toads" said Naruto.

Being the young and curious Uchiha that Akari is she asks Naruto to show her Naruto looks over to Lord Fugaku and Lady Mikoto basically asking permission since this is their house. They nodded but told Naruto to perform his summoning in the backyard since they knew how big some of the toad summon can be since they had worked with their teammates husband a couple times in their career.

"Summoning jutsu!" shouted Naruto, as he summoned Gamakichi.

"Yo what's up!" said Gamakichi.

"It talks" Said Akari amazed at her brother teammates summon.

"Why you summon me here Naruto?" Asked Gamakichi.

"my teammates little sister asked if I learned a new technique, so I showed her the new technique I summoned you because I thought you be okay playing with her rather than your father or the other toads. "Said Naruto.

"Good call" said Gamakichi.

Gamakichi played with Akari until dinner was ready. Then Gamakichi dismissed himself. After dinner Haruna and Kuro went home. They both sealed camping equipment, food and other stuff.

Team 6 and 7 met up at the 44th battle training zone aka the forest of Death. All the chunin exam applicants arrived and the proctor started to explain the second exam.

"this is the Venue where you will undergo the survival test. The 44th battle training zone but some of us call this forest the forest of Death. Now let me explain the rules before I let the carnage begin. I need all of you to read and sign these waivers acknowledging you might die during this exam. The exams objectives are simple to get to the tower with a set of heaven and earth scrolls. How you acquire the scrolls is simple you all will be given one scroll per team at the start of this part of the chunin exam. The objective is to find the other scroll you need and get to the tower. How you acquire the other scroll is up to you." Said Anko.

All the teams signed the waivers and got their scrolls. Naruto carries the scroll of team seven in a seal on the back of the fabric of his headband. In the first day of the exam naruto and team seven battle a team of rain shinobi. They tried to sneak up on naruto but he sensed them and had them tie up a clone then knocks them out with a simple chop to the back of neck. He searches them and finds the heaven scroll and puts it in the seal. Then tells his team about his encounter. Sasuke is kinda mad at Naruto for hogging the action. As they hurry through the forest a ominous figure sees them and follows them. naruto senses something coming and tells Sakura and Sasuke to get out of the way as a huge strong gust of wind sends Naruto flying. Naruto lands on his feet and unceremoniously attacked by a giant snake. Naruto who is a clone smirks he makes a half ram seal and says release and his gravity seal drops to zero. The clone dodges the snakes next attempt to eat him then does a hammer blow to it noggin dispelling it.

( if you want to know what level was the gravity seal was set at. Take the highest level vegeta did during the android saga then add200 to it. If your wondering how Naruto is even able to pull that off. it's abusing the healing factor given to him by being an uzumaki, a transmigrant of asura ,and the Jinchūriki of kurama.)

The clone senses an ominous chakra near his teammates so he dispels to give his original some information and chakra. Meanwhile with Sasuke and Sakura both have trouble shrugging off the grass ninjas killer intent until they hear Naruto come from behind them they ask if it really him he say can anyone else do this and he makes a half ram seal and yells release as he removed his gravity seal the aura of his strength is unyielding the grass ninja smirk." If you think this show of bravado will stop me from achieving my goals you're sadly mistaken. " said the grass ninja.

"Far from a show of bravado or whatever you said because I have a hunch you are not a genin and if you are who I think you are then there's No reason for me to hold back Orochimaru of the sannin."

The grass ninjas face twitches "what gave me away?" Asks the snake Sannin.

"The snake summon, the proctor Anko and you are the only ones who have signed the snake summoning contact and the snake that my clone fought or should I say slaughtered was a snake from the snake summoning contract. Anko isn't allowed to interfere with the test once it's begun unless circumstances deem it wise to do so like you showing up." Said Naruto. Though naruto isn't classified as a sensory ninja in the slightest his years of experience via his clones allowed him to pick up a vague sense of awareness around him. It isn't as refined as the second Hokage or even his fathers technique for chakra sensing. He felt Orochimaru's cold malevolent chakra being concentrated to his arm with a weird tattoo. He also felt two large familiar chakra heading in his general direction. Knowing that his sister and Haku weren't at the level to sense chakra through training he'd have to give them a good beacon to hone in on. Naruto made the ram seal and started to summon chakra. While doing that he enter his mind scape and meets the Fox himself. the Fox is surprised that his jailer decided to come before him he had an idea what was going on outside but didn't have the full story. "So, my jailor has finally come to visit me in my humble seal. what brought you here before me Kit?" Said the Fox.

"I came here to ask for two things One your Name and two your assistance in helping me force my opponent to be on the back foot." Said Naruto.

"Why should I tell you my name if I have one and also why should I help you force your opponent to be on the back foot. " Asked The fox who was genuinely curious of the boys reasons from what he'd seen of the boy. he had let go of his hubris and asked for his help which struck him as odd because his Jailor usually was prideful and boasting as loud as he can.

"The answer to the first part of your question is simple your name isn't Nine tailed fox that's more of title or moniker. Everyone has a name even the sage of six paths had a name though his name was lost through history. As for the second part of your question because I need your help, also because I am one of the Two Jinchūriki that possesses half of your chakra, as your Jinchūriki I am an extension of you and you don't like to be considered weak by any form. Plus Foxes don't cower to snakes they eat them." Said Naruto.

The fox contemplated what his Jinchūriki had said and they were all valid points even if they were all specifically worded so he'd cooperate with his Jinchūriki. "Fine, My Name Is Kurama and I'll help you not because you asked but because I'm bored also let's show this Snake why foxes don't cower to snakes!"

Orochimaru is no sensory ninja by any means but he felt the large chakra that Naruto was summoning go up by a factor at least ten. "I may need to reassess how I fight this child." He said as he enters a vicious and brutal taijutsu altercation with him not being able to land any hits. His field experience was the only thing keeping the Jinchūriki from making him a stain on the forest floor he can only hope the sound four feel the battle and come so they can distract the Jinchūriki enough so he can give the Uchiha one of his curse marks. So far the brat can stand on equal footing with him in taijutsu Orochimaru wondered if the kid was any good at kenjutsu. Orochimaru summoned his sword the Kusanagi blade and takes a stance. Naruto just smirks as he dis appears from sight Orochimaru feeling something behind him slashes diagonally left to right. Naruto catches the blade and with a flick of his wrist he overpowering Orochimaru's grip of the sword. It slips out of Orochimaru's grasp and is sent flying as he is about to retrieve it. It disappears in a puff of smoke. "Where is my sword boy?" Said the clearly unnerved sannin.

It's in Susannoos workshop far from your corruption and also Now I can stop holding back, Right Haruna." Said Naruto.

"Right Naruto," Said Haruna already filled with Kurama's chakra.

"Haku take sasuke and Sakura and head for the tower Haruna and I will catch up and so will Kuro." Said Naruto.

Orochimaru was livid and he lost his legendary sword to a green genin. "Summoning Justu" he shouted as he summoned a giant snake. The snake recognized the brat in orange was scared when ordered to kill the brat he went two feet forward and the two Jinchūriki punched him in his snout and dismissed him. With the uchiha now gone he had no reason to stay and fight the two Jinchūriki. He was mad at Kabuto who was his master spy and Himself for not even he knowing that both the Uzumaki and Namikaze brats were Jinchūriki.

Meanwhile with Kuro half an hour before. "Wrong set of brats" Said the long haired grass Shinobi went on ahead. "Kill them all" the others two grass Shinobi cracked their necks they grin like a maniacs. "let's kill the leaf trash and catch up with our Lord" Said one to the other.

Haruna was gritting her teeth while she wasn't short tempered like her brother and supposedly her mother she had a line that you didn't cross and insulting her and her comrades was the line that made her fuse shorter or just as short as her mother and brothers. Haruna was about to show them why her father and mother were feared in all the elemental nations. When Kuro grabbed her wrist and said "Haruna Haku go in the direction that grass Shinobi went I'll handle his lackeys and meet you two at the tower. Now go!" Kuro was very pissed off at the supposed grass Shinobi but he was the sensor of his squad besides if he was going to go all out against them he needed his team to be a good distance away so they don't get dragged into the fight.

"That was either very brave or foolish said one of the Shinobi.

"I don't think it was the latter cus I know you guys are four not two you can drop the act and reveal your true selves already cus your boss is going to get his ass handed to him on a silver platter. Tayuya laughed "No way Lord Orochimaru would get his ass handed to him on a silver plater "

Kuro smiles at this tidbit of intel "My friend in the orange jumpsuit is the one wrecking your lord right now." Kuro said as he felt Naruto's and Kurama's chakra. So naruto my friend you've taken your first steps down that path. I wish you luck very few Shinobi have gone down this path and made it to the end of that path.

"How you know there are more of us than the two you see?"Asks one of the lackeys

"Because I sensed six chakra signatures when I spotted you three. Now I only sense five chakra signatures. Now drop your transformation and show me your real faces so I can know who sold their soul for Orochimaru's curse marks power." Said Kuro. They dispelled their transformation and it was just Kuro said there were four body's inside the two transformed ones first was a big guy with a Mohawk a guy with six arms and ponytail similar to Shikamaru's, then there was this white silver haired guy that had two signatures finally there was the reddish pink haired female with a mouth that according to what he been told by his parents his teammates mother would have hit her with a frying pan and rolling pin til that behavior stopped.

"Should we punish him for badmouthing Lord Orochimaru " said the guy with the white silver hair another head grew out of his neck and replied. "We should brother can't let Konoha trash talk down to Lord Orochimaru ."

"Introductions are in order,I am Jirōbō of the South Gate " said the guy with Mohawk now named Jirōbō .

"I am Kidōmaru of the East Gate." The guy with six arms.

"We are Sakon and Ukon of the West Gate. "Said The guy with two heads.

"I am Tayuya of the North Gate you Konoha trash." Said the reddish pink haired kunoichi.

Kuro nodded then made a single hand sign and then said "sealing arts: four prong seal" as he and his clones place a seal on on top of curse marks effectively cutting their power. The four Shinobi are surprised that The genin knew seals well enough to effectively seal off the their curse marks and make them effectively genin level in terms of power skill and ability. The sound four in anger punched Kuro and his clones in the gut none of them noticed their smirk on their faces as they dispelled. Kuro and Naruto during the few months before the chunin exams were experimenting with seals and asked the question how to catch an opponent completely off guard. the answer was simple make them think they won but how would one go about doing that. They put their heads together and this was one of their solutions using shadow clones to power and activate a seal upon being forced to dispel. Three of the sound four dropped to the floor as a seal that was combination of a gravity paralysis and chakra consuming seal. Sakon and Ukon fist hit a log with a sealing tag. (Yes Kuro used the kamawari aka substitution jutsu) then they were down like their teammates. Kuro searches their bodies for scrolls and lucky enough they had couple sets of heaven and earth scrolls. Kuro Hearing a girl scream ran over to where it was the sound genin trio were slaughtering a grass ninja squad. when Kuro jumped into the fight one of the sound genin used a technique called Slicing Sound Waves Kuro countered it with Wind style: Great Breakthrough the wind from that justu over powered the sound genins technique and was sent right back at him slicing his clothes to shreds. The supposed lead of the sound squad ordered his squad to re treat not liking how his subordinates technique was countered. The red haired grass kunoichi brought up her kunai and asked "why did you save us back there?"

"Let's just say your chakra feels very similar to a friend of mine. Who knows you might be distantly related." Replied Kuro.

Who's the person who you think I'm related to?." Asked Karin pushing up her glasses. "Naruto Uzumaki," Said Kuro as he drops one of the extra scrolls he had then body flickers away.

Karin looks god-smacked she was just told she was distantly related to one of the strongest genin that she had ever sensed. Her mother always told her of the stories of the great Uzumaki clan and told her that she was part of the clan. She said also an uzumaki can be identified by their blood red, their chakra reserves being on par with most kage, and their strong life force. Karin asked her mother why were they were living like they were. Her mother answers because our clan is feared by many people so it took a coalition of three of the five great nations plus the minor Shinobi nations to take out most of our people. We hide our clan name to stay safe. Karin if you get the chance to go and participate in the Leafs chunin exam do it and you may get out of this hellhole of a village. make it to the preliminary rounds of the final exam and after you bow out if you don't feel up to it then ask for an audience with the current Hokage. Tell him or her your story and tell the hokage of your lineage and the hokage will grant you asylum from the grass village.

"Let's hurry up and go to the tower." Said Karin as she picked up the scroll that Kuro left. Her teammates liked their luck and didn't question what was said about Karin. They got to the tower in hr. and their Jōnin sensei told them they passed. so they should rest and prepare for the next phase. The two guys did as told as for Karin she went to the proctor and asked if she may have a personal audience with Lord third. Anko was tempted to say no but she decided against it unknowingly Saving herself a world of pain later. Hiruzen was by no means in good mood the grass village had 3 of it's genin slaughtered and their faces stolen by Orochimaru and his subordinates. When Anko came in and said a grass genin would like to speak with him he feared the worst. When the genin came in she asked if she may place some privacy seals so they may not be over heard. Hiruzen nodded his consent and Karin set 5 privacy seals one in the center the others in the north south east and west sides of the room. To say he was impressed was an understatement this girl had a knack for seals that reminded him of Kushina and of Haruna. With the seals in place Karin told her tale and asked for asylum from the grass village. So she may not die the way her mother died from extreme chakra exhaustion due to abuse of her chakras healing abilities. Hiruzen was tempted to do it right then and there knowing his student Tsunade would gladly sponsor the young kunoichi. If I were to grant this request what would the name the request be under Karin said proudly Karin Uzumaki. That was when Hiruzen was sold and knew he dodged a literal beating if Kushina ever heard that he ever let one of her clansman stay in one of the countries that were in the coalition to destroy her clan. The part that nobody in the grass village knew her clans name so it made the paperwork so much easier. Back with Naruto and Haruna

The pair of twins were in sync with each other Orochimaru had no ways to dodge the Kyubi enhanced twins so he blocked the strikes but his body could barely handle the toll of taking the strikes by blocking. This being Haruna calling upon Kurama's chakra through her intense rage not by doing it Volertearly her control starts to slip and Orochimaru capitalizes on that and manages to disengage the twins. Runs off with his many snake tails between his legs. Haruna now has lost control of herself and enters the two tails state and start thrashing naruto. Naruto frantically dodges his sisters strikes and tries to think of a way to calm her down he asks Kurama for advice. The Fox is contemplates what to do then decides to help the kit save his sister from her rage. "Kit you are going to have to bump fists with your sister and get on the same wavelength so you can snap her out of her rage." Said Kurama. Naruto bing the faster of the twins managed to bump fist with his sister and then his and her mind were pulled into the mindscape where both Kuramas were behind the seal Haruna woke up from her rage with a headache "bro what happened and why do I have a massive headache?"

the yin half of Kurama answered" your rage from those idiots earlier caused you to draw too much of my chakra and became engulfed by the power luckily your brother and my yin half were here to stop you before something happens that you would regret. "

"Excellent plan Kurama and I see that even split into two parts you are still as cunning as you were when you were a kit" said a voice who's tone demanded respect.

Old man!" Said both Kurama.

Both twins look at the man that the tailed beast affectionately called old man.

"Who are you." The twins shouted .

"I am Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki also know as the sage of six paths. I am also your very distant ancestor." Said the sage.

"How are you here ? The twins asked in unison.

Hagoromo smiles at the twins curiosity. "What do you know of the tale of the sages sons ?" asked Hagoromo.

"That you had two sons the elder Indra and the younger Asura. Indra was a true prodigy while Asura had to work hard to get on the same plane of skill." Said the twins.

"Correct, and I choose Asura to be my successor because he thought cooperation and understanding would lead to peace while Indra thought differently. My boys have fought over centuries as transmigrates the latest in pair was in Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha. The current pair of transmigrates is you and Sasuke, Naruto boy. As for how I am here you have both half Kurama inside you that is enough of a strong tether to summon my soul here. Naruto you being younger brother Asura transmigrate just strengthens the tether. Now you two can summon my soul to this space in your mind. Now go you two have an exam to finish." Said the sage.

Kuro walks over to see Haruna and Naruto bumping fists with each have the aura of Kurama chakra but the chakra seams to be settled down. They both open their eyes and say "Wow that was amazing!"

"You can say that so you guys have started on that path already?" Said Kuro.

"Yes we are and you are not afraid of us ?" Said Naruto.

"No I am not because you are you and Kurama is Kurama just because he's sealed inside you guys doesn't make him you or you him. "Said Kuro "now let's meet up with Haku and others and go to the tower. "

Wait we still don't have the heaven scroll we need to pass." Said Haruna.

"That's old information Haruna while I sent you and Haku after Orochimaru I took care of his men and helped myself to their scrolls so we have the scrolls need to pass." Said Kuro.

Haruna since her tailed beast state was due her rage rather than Kurama cooperation was exhausted and had Kuro and Naruto help her get to the tower. They met up with the others. Sasuke smirked "what took you so long got held up by a fox and a snake ?" asked Sasuke .

"You wouldn't want to know the half of it " Said Naruto and Haruna in unison smirking at each other. Each team enters the respective room and opens the scrolls Lady Mikoto was summoned by team 6 and Iruka was summoned by team 7.

"Congratulations you guys passed the 2nd phase of the chunin selection exams the poem on the board overhead was written by the hokage stating the objective that chunin should strive towards.. If qualities of Heaven is what you desire acquire wisdom to take your mind earthly qualities is what you lack prepare to attack. When heaven and earth are opened together the perilous path will become righteous forever. What It basically means if you lack power in your mind then build it up by reading. If you lack physical strength do your physical conditioning everyday and don't slack you have both the power of your mind and body working as one even a dangerous mission will be a lot easier. Now go inside and get some rest you guys will need it." Said Iruka and Mikoto.

Teams six and seven arrived only half hr before team eight. Karin's team arrives five minutes after team eight. Team or the sand siblings arrived half an hr before teams six and seven. Both Kuramas sense the presence of several Tailed beasts both foxes let their hosts know that there are several Jinchūriki in the area. since they didn't sense that much tailed beast chakra in the forest they assume that they are not participating in the exams at least not a lot of his brothers and sisters hosts. by the end of the 2nd exam 11 teams passed 6 from the leaf one from the sand ,one from the waterfall, one from the cloud, one from the Stone, one from the sound. given the chance to bow out of the preliminary rounds Kabuto Karin and two of the waterfall Shinobi and one of the Stone bow out. With 28 combatants the names were selected through a electronic lottery.

A/n:Finally done I know the fight scene is kind lacking in details but I will make the preliminary rounds more fun but some are the fights will be one sided so I won't go into detail. Like for example Garra will slaughter most people I put him up against. With Lee he was pushed to his breaking point in the manga and anime.I had the grass Shinobi from Karin's team survive the forest but both of them will be defeated by redheads the stone team is there for fodder and a reason for Han and Roshi to be introduced. The cloud team is for Bee and Yugito to be introduced btw Team B Karui, Samui, and Omoi.
