Manipulating Time, Again
Sorry, this is a really badly written chapter, its more of a summary but I really want to get on with the actual story, I've already spent 3 chapters on the preliminaries. Granted the first few chapters are really short and only about 2000 words, that still more chapters than I want on the preliminaries.
Chapter 4: The Preliminaries come to an end
Orochimaru observed the pure strength of the girl from Konoha. She looked to be descdnded from the Uzumaki or the senju, both who had extremely strong bodies. That was just what Orochimaru needed - a strong body so he could finally become a full sage like Jiraiya.
Kukukukuku Kakashi's team was turning out to be a goldmine. Orochimaru knew he couldn't take the jinchuriki's body just yet because he was under close protection by the sandaime. Also, takjng over Uchiha Sasuke now would be meaningless, Orochimaru wasn't even sure if the uchiha's body would be strong enough to handle Sage mode.
So it was decided, he would take over the body of Haruno Sakura, before killing the third and then taking over the jinchuriki's body. Pein sama would not be happy but by then, with Sage mode and the original rinnegan Orochimaru would be stronger than Pein. It seemed things were finally starting to go his way.
Then the matchup board revealed his underlings name, Dosu. He didn't care for Dosu anymore but it was still fun to watch Dosu try and prove himself. Then he read the name of Dosu's opponent. The kazekage's son Kankurou. This was going to be the most boring match in history.
So instead he looked over to Naruto, who was staring at Orochimaru intently.
"That D::kbag," Naruto thought as glared into the snake summoner's eyes. As Naruto's whisker marks grew thicker, his pupils began to become slimmer until they were just slits, like a fox. Naruto had found out that he could control his eyes and like the sharingan, he could actively switch between the original rinnegan and his normal jet blue eyes. It was sort of like rolling your tongue, after you had discovered it, it was pretty easy to do.
His attention turned to the fight, where Dosu had just revealed he could manipulate soundwaves to an unsurprised Kankurou.
Then all in one motion Dosu ran towards Kankurou and slammed his palm on the suna genin's chest. He then halted for a minute before releasing a burst of sound that just ruptured Kankurou's body.
'Wait a minute, that's wrong. That isn't how human flesh usually reacts to my jutsu,' Dosu managed to think before collapsing as the flesh turned into bland pieces of wood. The real Kankurou then revealed himself, popping out of the bandages.
"You stupid idiot, you think I wasn't prepared for your stupid vibration crap. That's why I covered the whole of my puppets body with poison before I came to the arena today," Kankurou finished insulting Dosu a few minutes later.
Yugao announced the winner 'Winner: Kankurou.
However, it seems we will have a lunch break before we have the last match"
After which Dosu's heartbeat stopped completely and Kankurou walked back up to the preliminary spectating stands, awaiting his little brother's match to start. Since he was last.
In the unknown
Nagato looked at a squirrel climb down a tree to observe the red haired human. This certainly was an odd place to meet - in the forests outside Konoha - but it was convenient to both Tobi and Nagato who both had business in Konoha.
The squirrel was busy doing its inspection, only to be landed on by Tobi, who didn't care for such puny organisms. If Nagato could kill Tobi, he would've right then and there. But of course, Uchiha Madara was beyond even him.
"Sorry I couldn't meet you in the morning, I had some... business to attend to," started Madara "I want you to keep an eye on Orochimaru, since there is a new kid with the original rinnegan taking part in the chunin exams. Orochimaru is known to get... touchy when with extremely rare bloodline limits, make sure, which is why I wasn't there in the morning."
Pein pretended to listen as Madara briefed him. Could the child with the rinnegan, possibly be his heir - the son of Kushina Uzumaki. Well he was going to find out.
At the preliminary arena.
Naruto looked at the old Gaara. Something needed to be done about him, he needed to be shown that one was only truly strong when they were protecting their loved ones. Gaara had been one of his closest friends, the Kazekage - and now he was back to his bloodthirsty younger self.
All Naruto could do was look at Gaara as he walked down the steel stairs, an air of murderous intent around him. Then Kiba began to walk down the stairs too, with Akamaru. Naruto couldn't allow Gaara to kill Kiba, both of them were too precious to him.
He could tell Lee and Hinata were thinking exactly the same thing. What luck, Naruto had gone back in time to when he was being watched the most by the third. He couldn't even talk to Lee or Hinata; otherwise the third would be onto him.
Naruto decided the best thing to do, was to wait until Kiba really needed help and then jump right in to help him. However Naruto was really exhausted, he wasn't used to his younger chakra levels, even though they were almost s-class level, using the rinnegan for the first time really exhausted his reserves.
"Begin" Yugao shouted, you could tell she was getting tired.
Immediately Gaara manipulated the sand out of his urn and completely covered Kiba and Akamaru with it.
"I will validate my existence by... killing you", Gaara scream "Mother wants you to die."
"Gatsuga," Kiba screamed as he burst out of the sand, blood covering his body, from where the sand had shredded it. He couldn't talk; he was in too much pain.
"You think that that will stop me, I'm on a whole different level than you," shouted Gaara, as he used his sand to cover up Kiba again.
This situation continued, where Gaara trapped Kiba in sand then Kiba would break out using Gatsuga only to further injure himself.
Meanwhile Naruto started to feel hazy, he couldn't collapse just yet though.
"Shunshin jutsu" (Body flicker technique) he muttered as he flickered to Kiba. Sakura and Sasuke were the only ones who were able to look at him before he was transported
"Shinra tensei" the whole arena floor cracked as Naruto collapsed, he had used too much of his bloodline on its first out.
Kiba also collapsed drenched in blood, before the both of them were carried away.
"Winner: Gaara" uttered Yugao, before she followed the medics carrying Naruto's body. She had cared for the boy since he was very young.
Then the third started to address the genin about the Chunin exam finals, as if he didn't care about Naruto. But everyone could tell from the tone of his voice that he did.
The next day.
Naruto woke up the next day with Katsumi watching over him. Ahh the beautiful Katsumi, she had been his first friend, other than Yugao and the guys at Ichiraku Ramen.
"You have a visitor Naruto chan," she said politely, smiling. It felt weird, the tone of her voice made him feel like it was one of his own talking to him. Then his mind turned to the visitor, who couldn't be at this point in time - Orochimaru, Jiraiya, third, Sasuke, Sakura, Lee, Hinata?.
Instead walked in a guy lashed out in Anbu armour, without the Anbu mask. It was Kakashi sensei. "Sensei, why are you here?"
"I told you I'd make it up to you didn't I?" said a smiling Kakashi. Had Kakashi really come back in time with him, Lee and Hinata?
"Why the Anbu gear?" Naruto asked again, as he started to get up.
"Because I know your potential and I am going to train you in some... special areas," Kakashi answered taking out his Katana.
"But what about Lee and Hinata?" Naruto asked once again, now putting on his forehead protector.
"They're fine; I've already had a talk to them. They are going to train for a month. As for Sasuke and Sakura, I have special... friends teaching them. Now quickly get ready because I just got special permission from the hokage to take you on a training trip for the month. But first we have to meet up with someone, who you'll be very pleased to meet" finished Kakashi, after (very carefully) destroying the window with his raikiri. Doors were for idiots, plus he needed to impress Katsumi, now, didn't he.
At the Hot springs.
Sasuke looked at this bumbling idiot, who was right now, soaking in all of the heat from the burning springs, still wearing his stupid black shades.
"What is wrong with you, let us train," Sasuke shouted for the 729th time.
"It is important for us to relax as well as train, as a shinobi hoh must keep balance over your life," replied Ebisu for the 729th time, pushing his shades further up his nose.
"I can't stand this, Kakashi is probably somewhere out there training Naruto to the max, while we're sitting around in some hot spring doing nothing," Sasuke blurted.
Then Sasuke saw the worst thing he had ever seen since the Uchiha Massacre, as Ebisu started to get up. "Oh kay, if you want we can do this right now, right here so we don't waste time."
"No, I'm sorry, its ok," Sasuke half coughed half vomited.
"Then I guess you won't mind if we stay in for a bit longer then, "Ebisu finished smiling, still wearing his stupid shades.
However Sasuke only had it second worst.
Sakura tried to keep her eyes on Anko's face. But with Anko's physique and so much cleavage, it was so hard - even for a female. She just couldn't understand how a woman could be so perfect.
And how a woman could be so scary. She now knew why Anko didn't usually have many people come over. She had insisted on the snake being allowed to breathe fresh air. And so naturally Sakura wouldn't have minded. But these were snakes as thick as her waist and now they were starting to slide all over her, examining every detail.
"So you want to become a chunin huh?" Anko asked "I know I was the second exam proctor but Kakashi kun personally requested me to train you up for the finals." Anko didn't add the part that she could never refuse Kakashi kun.
Sakura just stared into Anko's deep eyes, both Naruto and Sasuke were so much stronger than her - "Hai."
"Why are you kn such a hurry to train, do you have a boy to impress? Anko continued "You know that's the sweet thing about having me as a teacher. Why don't we talk about that dreamy Uchiha boy for now."
This snake summoner understood just how she felt. Sakura was finally home.
