Jigoku Shoujo: Eikyuu no Sonzai
Chapter Four: Yami no Naka Shoujo

Naruto sharpened her kunai, preparing for the Chuunin Exam. Kakashi had entered her and the others into it, declaring they could handle it. They would be okay, she surmised. They had good teamwork, not great, but good. And they also had a lot of jutsu to draw from.

Their taijutu, she knew, was lacking quite severely. At least Sakura had been able to learn more genjutsu while Sasuke focused on his ninjutsu. She supposed out of all of them, she didn't really train at all except for when it was time for team training. She had been too busy doing her duty.

"Naruto! Come on! Kakashi-sensei is waiting for us," Sakura yelled at her.

Naruto strode over to her and walked alongside her to meet up with Sasuke. All three of them walked to where the exam was being held in, with applications in hand. Their teacher smiled underneath his mask at them and congratulated them for coming together.

"This is a group test. If just one of you didn't want to take it, none of you would've been able to," Kakashi told them.

Seeing all but Naruto actually looking like they were paying attention, Kakashi sighed and let them go, wishing them luck.

Team 7 entered a room full of genin clamoring to be able to go to the exam, but couldn't because they were blocked by two guys next to the entrance.

"This isn't the correct floor," Naruto said to her team.

"There's a genjutsu around the guys and the door," Sakura added, pointing out what was really obvious to them. Though probably not obvious to the rest of the genin.

"Should we interrupt or go to the stairs and continue?" Naruto asked them.

"We should interrupt," Sasuke smirked. Sakura immediately agreed.

"You know, if we don't cut in, the weaker of the genin will be weeded out and our time won't be wasted," Naruto looked at them through the corners of her eyes.

"Sounds good," Sasuke grunted, acknowledging the plan. He'd rather not have to fight weaklings.

They went back out and headed to the stairs, missing blank eyes and two pairs of dark eyes watching them.

They entered the room to the real 301, and saw a roomful of genin meaning business.

"Sasuke!"

"Naruto!"

Sasuke was grabbed by Ino and was twitching madly, while Naruto stood still with Kiba hanging off her neck. She looked to the side and stayed her eyes in that direction, observing the others while ignoring the presence around her neck.

The sand siblings' eyes were drawn to her, feeling something different. It was almost like Gaara. He was madness while she was darkness. It was odd, but they didn't think too much on it as they watched another Leaf shinobi come near the reunited rookies.

"Hey, don't you know you guys are attracting a lot of bad attention right now?" the silver-haired Leaf-nin told them, pushing up his glances.

Kiba and Ino glared at him from their positions around Naruto and Sasuke respectively. He put his hands up in good faith, smiling.

"My name's Yakushi Kabuto. How about all of you?"

Everyone introduced themselves, Sasuke warily and Naruto uncaringly.

"You know, these cards in my hand are chakra cards. I put a little chakra in them and they reveal information on every genin here."

"Uzumaki Naruto," a Hyuuga, Neji if the rookies remembered his name, said.

The weird-looking boy next to him looked disappointed, but then shrugged and said another name, "Uchiha Sasuke."

"Alright, let's do this," Kabuto took out two cards from his deck and revealed the first one.

"Uchiha Sasuke, 30 D-ranks, low genjutsu, above average taijutsu, and above average ninjutsu."

Kabuto took the other card and revealed it, his eyes widening. Nothing came out, except a black-flame crest.

"No information on Uzumaki Naruto," Kabuto said to the silent room. He slipped her card into his shirt, swallowing nervously. He'd seen that mark before, but he couldn't remember when or where. Just seeing it brought shivers up and down his body.

All eyes were drawn to Naruto, who looked impassively to the front of the room. It looked somehow ridiculous with Kiba hanging off her like that.

Chuunin poofed into the room, surrounding them. The head of them, it seemed, was a tall, large man with multiple scars crisscrossing his face and a bandanna covering his head.

"Alright, maggots, let's get started!"

Everyone scrambled to a seat and some of the chuunin began passing out papers.

"This is an actual test," Ibiki said, introducing himself and then started talking about the rules of the test. He noticed Mizuki staring steadfastly to one genin, someone he recognized as the Kyuubi jinchuuriki.

Now why would Mizuki be staring at Uzumaki Naruto?

The genin began putting their brains to use, trying to answer the questions on the paper before them. Some people began to discover the true meaning behind the test. It wasn't long before Ibiki found a bunch of them cheating. He grinned and let the chuunin discovering the cheaters do their job. After that, a lot of teams began to disqualify, dismaying all the genin.

He looked back at Mizuki and saw he was still staring at Naruto. Frowning, Ibiki watched her as well. She sat there, pen in hand, staring back at him with red irises. He flinched and felt a small amount of fear, for some reason feeling more than wary of this girl.

Suddenly one of the chuunin they had placed with the genin, convulsed in his seat before falling to the ground and convulsing more violently as time passed. Ibiki saw Mizuki glance at the chuunin horrified before turning the horrified gaze back to Naruto.

No way, he had watched her. He had a freakin' staring contest with her. She hadn't done anything.

Ibiki scowled and looked at Naruto. His body froze. She tilted her head slightly to the right, eyes fully red and whiskers gone. Her mouth held a tiny smirk on it. He couldn't hear anything. It was complete silence and Ibiki felt deaf. He couldn't hear the pencils scratching, genin mumbling, anything. Her mouth began moving, mouthing something.

"How would you like to try dying this once?"

Then everything went back to normal, Naruto was starting to work on her test and he could hear again.

Ibiki shivered violently. Had that all been a genjutsu?

No, it was too real to be a genjutsu. No one had been able to see it but him, but Ibiki was quite sure he had just been messed with by Naruto. A mere genin.

"Time's up!" Ibiki hid the tremor in his voice. He did the tenth question part and the genin not brave enough left with their team. Ibiki passed them and waited for Anko to crash through, like she always did. When she did, scaring most of the genin, Ibiki hightailed out of there to find a place to calm his breathing.

"What's got you worked up?" Anko grinned, punching Ibiki hard on his arm.

Ibiki shook his head, sitting in the jounin lounge still not able to forget the incident. It had been an hour since.

"Fuck it, Kakashi, your kid is one hell of a shinobi," Ibiki cursed, startling the others.

"Huh? You mean Sasuke?" Kakashi asked, tearing his attention away from his book.

"No…the blonde. Uzumaki. Brat pulled me into the best genjutsu I've ever been in. I doubt Kurenai would say anything different. Made me second-guess if it was genjutsu or not, it was freakin' real."

Kurenai blinked, "What happened?"

"She just did something that made me lose hearing and no one noticed anything out of the ordinary between me and her. She didn't have the whiskers and her eyes were just this blood red. Not slitted eyes or anything like the Kyuubi's. This was her eyes just plain red. And she was smirking at me. She mouthed the words, 'How would you like to try dying this once?' to me and then suddenly everything went back to normal. I was fucking shivering in fear and disturbed.

"This happened after one of the chuunin we placed in there convulsed to the ground. Mizuki had been staring at her, but after that he glanced horrified back and forth between the chuunin and her. I thought it was no way that she could have done it, we were just staring at each other minutes before, and she had red irises then. I had looked over to see her staring at me with completely red eyes. And then that chuunin dropped from nowhere. She had messed with me!"

"What?" Kakashi blinked in surprise.

Anko had narrowed her eyes suspiciously, her thoughts being confirmed. "Mizuki, huh. Ibiki, just a while ago we were trying to find out if Jigoku Shoujo was true. You were interrogating someone at the time. Well, I met her and then dragged Mizuki here because I suspected he knew something. He told us about her and showed us the flame-crest on his chest as a mark of the covenant he made with Jigoku Shoujo."

"A flame-crest on his chest? The man I was interrogating at the time, had one too," Ibiki told them.

"Bring him," Anko looked serious.

Ibiki nodded and had some lower shinobi bring the man there. He was rugged, with looks that were still handsome if it weren't for the mad gleam in his eyes and the haunted manner in which he acted.

"You had a flame-crest on your chest, I remember," Ibiki started off, knowing he didn't have to psychologically mess with this one. This one was crazy already, nothing could really daunt the man.

The man laughed, "The mark of the damned."

Anko nodded and she said bluntly, "Yeah, I guess. Do you know who Jigoku Shoujo is?"

The man looked at her sharply, his eyes glaring, "Jigoku Shoujo, the avenging angel. I hated that man so much. Even after the deed was gone, I didn't feel an ounce of remorse. I'm glad he was sent to Hell."

Anko was about to talk again when the man cut her off, "It's a mark of ruin," he ranted. "He cannot return from it, cannot go back on your contract. I'm okay with that! I feel no remorse!"

The shinobi who brought him in moved to restrain him, but Ibiki told them to wait.

"Pretty little girl, pretty, pretty! Jigoku Shoujo, you say? Enma Ai, you say? Uzumaki Naruto, you say? Avenge, avenge! Bring Hell forth and grant revenge! Kitty, kitty, kitty… are you lost?" he sang the last part, seeming even more mad than they had thought originally.

The shinobi began dragging him away, but he was still ranting, "Boss, they call me? Taicho, they say! Have you heard of Enma Ai? Jigoku Shoujo really exists! Why, why, why? I sent that stupid Amekage to Hell!"

He screamed as he was dragged out.

"Naruto…Jigoku Shoujo?" Kakashi couldn't believe it. But he knew Enma Ai was Naruto, so saying that Enma Ai was the Hell Girl…and flat out even saying Naruto's name when he was sure that that man couldn't have met Naruto…

"I knew it," Anko closed her eyes, ignoring the others staring at her from her words, "As soon as I met her, I was thinking how alike she looked to Kakashi's kid."

"But why? Why does she do this?" Kakashi asked frustrated.

"There's only one way to find out," Anko said determinedly. "The second part of the Chuunin Exam. We call her again. Is there anyone who hates someone here?"

"I sent her to Hell," Hayate said glazed, staring at his glass of water.

"I heard a rumor the Hyuuga head almost sent the Raikage to Hell," a random person said.

"I sent my best friend to Hell for double-crossing me."

"I sent my husband to Hell for cheating on me."

"I sent someone to Hell for bullying me for so long."

A bunch of people in the room began confessing. Anko looked incredulously at them.

"Why then? Why didn't you tell us earlier that any of you had met her? That you knew her, knew about her!"

A handful of the confessors touched the places where they were marked, some of them pushing aside their clothing.

"We respect her. Grateful for what she has done for us, happy she has fulfilled our need for revenge. But no one speaks of her. Not the truth at least. The ones who meet her, do not respond to the rumors. They know the truth. They will not open their mouths to speak of her like gossipers, because they know the truth. And they don't have to share it because no one else will understand. The pain one suffers and then her getting revenge…we don't have to tell the world because it's enough that we know."

The rest were speechless at the last confession of theirs.

"You want to speak to her, then I will send someone to Hell," Kurenai said, surprising everyone.

"K-Kurenai, you?" Asuma stuttered, his cigarette falling to the ground.

"Hai. I want to send Hyuuga Hinabi to Hell."
