Chapter Six: Snakes
Morning of the Fourth Day. Twenty-Four Hours Remain(1)
It has been three days.
Naruto was stripped to his underwear and headband. He and a few clones were trying to catch some fish in a small stream they found on the second day.
After a set of struggles, Naruto and the platoon of clones caught a few fish, which were burned cooked by Sasukes fire style.
Meanwhile...
"Ah man. Why can't there be any fire, I am going to die from hunger." Natsu said to Wendy and Gajeel.
"Get over it, Salamander. You forget, I need iron. Wendy is the only one who doesn't need to worry about dying from hunger." Gajeel snapped.
"But you can also eat shadows, can't you?" Natsu replied.
A light bulb appeared above Gajeels head. Soon shadows were going down his throat and into his stomach.
"They did not taste good, but I'm full." Gajeel turned to Natsu," If I can eat shadows, can you eat lightning?"
"Maybe, never tried. If one of my opponents use lightning, I'll try."
"Well, we should not stay her very much longer." Wendy said.
As soon as those words left her mouth, three waterfall ninja appeared, each having a bamboo umbrella.
Meanwhile...
Team 7 walked through the dark forest, keeping an eye out for other teams. They wondered around and came across no one.
Sun set...
As the sun set in the late evening, Team 7 still have yet to get a Heaven scroll yet.
They stopped to take a break, when...
"Guys, I got to go!" Naruto said, while walking deeper into the forest.
Sakura was mad and, then again, happy. She was with her Sasuke, all by herself.
She moved closer to him and said," Sasuke..."
Sasuke turned to see Sakura, her lips out to kiss him, when she stopped when they heard a rustling noise.
Naruto stumbled into the clearing they were in.
"Wow that was quick, even for me." He said, with goofy grin on his face.
Sasuke quickly attacked Naruto.
"What the hell, Sasuke. Why are you attacking Naruto?" Sakura asked.
"This person isn't Naruto. Naruto is right handed, not left handed."
"Naruto" started to laugh. "Very observant."
A poof of smoke, revealing a rain ninja with a face mask was in Narutos place.
"But know I will take the pleasure of killing you two."
With Naruto...
"HOW THE HELL DID THIS HAPPEN?" Naruto shouted.
While doing his business, Naruto was attacked by a giant snake, who had chased him and eventually, swallowed him.
So now, Naruto is in the belly of the beast, so to speak.
"Well, if I'm going to die, I will die full."He said, pulling out a rice ball, which evaporated when a chunk of the slime touched it.
"Wait! That's it."
He made a cross sign.
The snake slithered through the forest, when its stomach started to bloat, and got so big it exploded, revealing a battalion of Narutos.
The snake wreathed back and forth before it stopped moving, dead.
Naruto took deep breaths, dispelled his clones, and walked off to find his team.
With Hinata and her team...
Shino, Hinata, Kiba, and Akamaru were traveling to the center of the forest to the tower, having just getting the second scroll.
Kiba sniffed the air.
"Wait!" He said.
Shino and Hinata stopped and looked at him. He sniffed again and said, "I smell blood, and lots of it."
They took off in the direction, following Kibas nose.
Team 8 soon found Natsu with his team along with the team of waterfall ninja.
Two of the members were out cold, covered in blood, where the leader twirled his umbrella, shooting senbon needles at him.
Gajeel stepped in front of the attack. As quick as a flash of lightning, he grabbed all the needles, putting them in his pocket.
Akamaru whimpered, snuggling closer to Kibas chest.
"Is he okay?" Hinata whispered.
"Yes, he's fine. But the ninken hounds from my clan can smell chakra. And according to Akamaru, they all have strong chakra."
Shino nodded, he held out his hand and a few microscopic insects flew out and landed on the three fairy ninja.
Hinata said nothing. She understood what this meant, but she felt content.
Wendy stayed behind Natsu and Gajeel, who punched the living crap out of him. He fell over, out cold.
Natsu, who picked up their scent, looked in their direction and said, "You three can come out. We already have both scrolls."
Team 8 slowly came out of their hiding spot.
Natsu pointed at Hinata and said, "HEY, I KNOW YOU!"
Hinata was as confused as a baby.
"Yeah, you're the girl who helped the stupid blonde kid with the whisker marks during the first exam." Natsu continued.
"How do you know that?" She asked.
"He would not have accepted your help if I did not give him the push to do so." Natsu stated with a huge grin.
Gajeel stepped forward.
"Did you three see our fight with the waterfall ninja?"
"No, we were passing by, when Kiba smelt blood. We came to see what had happened and saw the last of them shoot the needles." Shino said plainly.
Gajeel smirked, 'I like this guy. Always straight to the point.'
Hinata looked at Wendy, who smiled at her warmly.
Wendy walked over to Hinata and stuck out her hand. Hinata slowly did the same. As this happened, a friendship was created between them, but was not yet realized.
Kiba glared at Gajeel. He had not forgotten the 'Bitch-man' comment.
He cracked his knuckles. Natsu noticed this.
"If you want to fight someone, you can fight me." Natsu said, punching his fist into his hand.
Wendy and Hinata instantly tried to stop the arguing and both teams headed to the tower.
Meanwhile with team 7...
Sasuke and Sakura where breathing very hard.
Shortly after defeating the rain ninja, another ninja tried to attack them.
But this time, it was the same grass ninja from a few days ago.
She was able to take on Sasuke, easily scaring him to where he stabbed himself in the leg to move.
The grass Nin smirked, her tongue licked her lips repeatedly.
Sakura stood there and watched as Sasuke was able to bind the grass Nin with wire and use his fire style, being guided by the wire.
As the flames died out, the grass Nin looked up. Her face had been burned off and looked like it was melting.
The wire slacked, the grass Nin jumped from her confinement and ran to hit Sasuke, who was standing there paralyzed.
The punch landed and he flew down a few branches and landed on a giant oak branch.
"MY my, you are tough."
Sasuke looked up to see the grass Nin raises out of the tree as if it was water.
Sasuke stood up and pulled out the Earth Scroll and said, "Okay, if I give you scroll, you'll leave us alone."
The Nin nodded.
Sasuke went to throw the scroll to her, when Naruto appeared next to him, his hand on Sasukes wrist, and his back to Sasuke.
"Naruto, what are you doing!?" Sasuke shouted, Scared out of his mind.
Naruto grabbed the scroll, put it in his pouch, and back handed Sasuke in the face without looking at him.
"You aren't Sasuke."
"What are you talking about? Of course I am the real Sas..."
"NO YOU AREN'T!"
Naruto turned, his eyes burned with fire.
"The Sasuke I know would never give up no matter what."
Naruto turned to Grass (I'm tired of writing 'grass ninja' so I'm naming Orochimarus disguise 'Grass').
Sasuke looked on at Naruto, not even noticing Sakura when she got to his side.
"Are you the one who sent the giant snake after me?"
Grass licked her lips, "Yes, I sent it to eat you. But it failed."
Grass rolled up her right sleeve, unveiling a black spiral tattoo.
Grass bit her thumb and spread it on the tattoo. She then made hand signs.
Grass slammed her hand into the ground, saying, "SUMMONING JUTSU."
A giant cloud appeared. Once it disappeared, another giant snake was there, with Grass onto of its head.
The snake lunged.
Sakura grabbed Sasuke and jumped along-side Naruto.
The landed in some higher branches. When they landed, Sasuke wiggled out of Sakuras grip.
The snake appeared and lunged again. Sasuke grabs Sakura and throws her to Naruto, who was on a higher branch.
Sasuke turned and the snake was 15 feet away and quickly getting closer.
He closed his eyes, waiting to get hit.
When he opened his eyes, Sasuke saw Naruto.
Naruto held a kunai in his left hand, which had pierced the snakes' mouth, and his right hand held onto the scales.
"Hey," Naruto said, his voice sounding deeper, "You aren't hurt are you..."
Naruto looks up. "Scaredy Cat."
His eyes are blood red and his pupils are slits.
Sasuke looked at Naruto, he activated his Sharingan. Sasuke saw that Naruto was releasing corrosive orange chakra.
Naruto yanked out the kunai, spun around, and punched the snake, sending it flying.
Grass jumped off as it puffed out of existence. She licked her lips as she dodged the barrage of punches Naruto threw at her.
'This kid, he must be the jinchuriki of the Kyubi.' Grass thought as she continued to dodge.
'If we continue, I might lose. So let's fix that.'
Grass channeled chakra into her fingers. Blue-purple flames appeared on her finger tips.
As Naruto jumped at her, Grass rammed her hand into Naruto's Stomach, 'Three-Pronged Seal'
As soon as she removed her hand from his stomach, Naruto felt his chakra drain out of him. He landed and collapsed.
Grass panted.
A kunai zipped past her pasty face.
She turned to see Sasuke, kunai in his right hand.
Grass laughed.
"What's so funny?" Sasuke managed to say.
"What I find funny is that you stand there, bravely, but your shaking like a child."
She ran through some hand signs, stopping at the double half ram sign.
Sasuke let out a yell. He turned his head to see Grass's head at his neck, biting him. He looked back at her body to see her neck had stretched.
Grass pulled back and stepped back. Sasuke gripped where she had bit him. Three black tomoe appeared on his neck.
"What...did...you do?" He grunted.
"Just a farewell gift. Until next time, Sasuke."
At this Grass sunk into the tree branch and Sasuke collapsed.
Sakura, who just woke up, saw Sasuke fall. She Jumped to him and Naruto. She made sure they were alive before moving them.
With Natsu...
Team 8 and Natsu's group made it to the tower. It was three stories high and looked abandoned.
The two teams split up and entered two different doors.
Once inside, Natsu, Wendy, and Gajeel saw a white poster with words on it.
It said:
If both Heaven and Earth open their doors,
Then Hell shall open its door.
Wendy took out the Scrolls. Gajeel and Natsu were still thinking about what it meant.
"Guys we have to open them." Wendy said.
"But that crazy snake lady told us not to." Natsu said.
"Yeah, but that was when we were in the forest, dumb-ass." Gajeel said.
"YOU WANT TO FIGHT?"
POOF
"ENOUGH YOU TWO!"
Two armored hands grabbed their skulls and slammed them together.
"ERZA-SENSEI!?" they shouted.
They looked and, low and behold, was their sensei, Erza Scarlet.
She wore her custom made Heart Kreuz armor, with her hair down.
"Well, at least you haven't forgotten me."
"Aye." Was all Natsu could say, he was sweating up a storm.
(1) I love the Legend of Zelda series. This is from LoZ Majora's Mask, which came out for the N64 in 2000 and it has a 3DS remake coming out in March of 2015
