Chapter 6: The Killer's Exam
A few months after the mission in Nami no Kuni
Training Ground 7
Uzumaki Naruto blocked another of the Uchiha`s attacks and countered by punching the boy in his face. You see after the mission in the waves Sasuke was somewhat humbled by the fact that he couldn't beat Haku even when he unlocked his Sharingan. The Uchiha`s pride took a blow and he really changed that day. He was excited that he unlocked his doujutsu and immediately challenged the blonde due to his arrogance, which resulted with his ass getting handed down to him in record time.
This really brought down the Uchiha to reality; there will always be people stronger than him. After an entire day of talking with Kakashi, the Jounin managed to convinced Sasuke that acting like an ass all the time is only hindering his ability to get stronger. If he was only nice his team mates might be willing to help him get stronger.
After a few more C-rank missions, Naruto and Yakumo began to notice that Sasuke was actually becoming less of a prick. Swallowing his pride the Uchiha asked for Yakumo and Naruto's help for getting stronger. Yakumo agreed in helping the Uchiha at learning some genjutsus but Naruto well he just left.
Eventually though Naruto was convinced *read bribed* by Yakumo to try to help the Uchiha out. Sighing the blond eventually agree to sparring with the Uchiha. During their first spar the Uzumaki berated all the faults in the Uchiha's stance leading to the Uchiha to snap and go against the Uzumki in an all-out spar. Sasuke spent four days in the hospital but eventually realized the gap between their strengths.
At first he was really pissed but eventually he thought of what Kakashi said and managed to mellow out. He now considered the blond as a sort of rival that he must surpass before he even attempts to fight Itachi.
Sasuke smirked as he threw another punch at the blonde who blocked it once more. He didn't want to admit it but this past few months were fun for the Uchiha. Spending time and getting stronger with his team, he eventually got attached to the two. Yakumo who was always calm, collected, mature, and acted like a mediator between him and Naruto. While the Uzumaki was mostly indifferent to him his one-sided rivalry with the blonde was improving his in greater lengths than before.
He was now willing to work with Naruto and Yakumo and somewhat considered Naruto as his rival. Much to the ire of the blonde when he learned it, Naruto said he wanted none of that at first but after Yakumo almost begged him to be more of a team player the blonde gave in and from time to time actually sparred and gave pointers to the last Uchiha.
The Uchiha didn't know but Eiko was just laughing at the blonde whole time.
"Too slow" Naruto said as he slapped another one of the Uchiha's punches away. "Don't overly rely on your eyes, It doesn't mean shit if you can see it if you can't react to it" he said as he let out an extremely fast knife thrust which hit the Uchiha in the chest and sent him tumbling a few steps back.
"Tsk" the Uchiha said as he charged in. Sasuke jumped and threw a round house kick aimed at the blonde's face only for him to grab the leg. The Uchiha twisted his body and threw a kick using his free foot and aimed for the blonde's arm. The blonde was hit causing him to let go.
The moment the Uchiha landed on the ground he immediately back flipped a few times barely evading a flurry of knife hand thrusts sent to him by the blonde. The Uchiha placed his arms across his body defensively as he channeled more chakra to them trying his best to hold out on the blonde's assault.
The Uzumaki stopped his assault and jumped back, even though hitting the Uchiha was kinda therapeutic for him he didn't really want to kill the guy. 'At least not yet' Naruto thought.
Sasuke was tired and hurt but he just shrugged it off 'could be worst' he though as he rushed in once again fist drawn. He threw a punch which the blonde dodged by ducking, the Uchiha extended his knee and attempted to knee the blonde in the face only for the Uzumaki to sweep him in his legs and punched him in the chest sending him a few feet back.
"Too slow Sasuke you need more physical training, improve your speed and physical strength before you even consider fighting someone of my caliber or higher head on"
"I know" the Uchiha said as he charged once more.
"Yoh!" said one Hakate Kakashi as he appeared in the middle of the training ground via Shunshin
"Hey" Naruto said as he blocked another one of the Uchiha's kicks
"Hn" was the raven-haired teens reply as he twisted his body like earlier and threw a kick aimed for the blonde's face which missed when the blonde ducked. The boy immediately counter attacked by sending a knife hand to the Uchiha's chest, Sasuke managed to block in time but was still sent flying back.
"Umm would you guys stop… I need to announce something…" Kakashi said but was ignored when Naruto charged in and began attacking Sasuke who was desperately evading the blows.
Kakashi sweat dropped as he looked over to Yakumo who was watching by the side "Umm would you stopping the two?" the kunoichi just shrugged as she went through some hand seals. "Genjutsu Shibari!" she said as Sasuke and Naruto were both frozen mid-air as they were about to kick each other. Obviously the two boys both hit their face on the ground making both the Jonin and the Kunoichi laugh. Yakumo dispelled her genjustu as Kakashi began to talk.
"Now that I have your attention" Kakashi said as all of his genin looked at him.
"I just nominated you guys to the Chuunin exams go to the academy tomorrow room 301 around ten am" He said casually as if it wasn't a big deal. If glares could kill there and then Kakashi would've died.
"Why didn't you tell us beforehand sensei? Because if you did you know I wouldn't have asked Naruto for a spar the day before the test!" Sasuke said as he got up his body bruised and sore.
"Umm… my bad" Kakashi said
He just got a glare from the Uchiha before he looked at his team mates "I'll see you guys there tomorrow" he said earning a "Yes" from Yakumo and a simple nod from the blonde. With that the Uchiha left the training ground and headed home to rest.
"So…. Want to get something to eat?" Yakumo asked the blonde.
"Sure" he replied as the two began walking back to Konoha ignoring Kakashi who was still there.
"Wait I didn't say you were dismissed yet HEY!" the jonin called out only for all three of his students to look back at him and simultaneously say "Hmm did you say something?" causing the Jonin to facefault. 'They really are my students' he thought.
Streets of Konoha
"So you excited for tomorrow?" Yakumo asked the blond who just nodded.
"Is there something wrong Uzumaki-san?"
"Nothing just thinking about stuff" the blonde answered
Yakumo sighed ever since she convinced the blonde to tutor the Uchiha he seemed to be more distant and indifferent towards her. Even though it was for the good of the team she felt bad for forcing Naruto to do something he didn't. The way he was acting now wasn't exactly helping. Unknown to her was the blonde was actually talking to Eiko at the moment.
'So you want Ninjutsu and Fuinjutsu tonight?' the Bijuu asked
'Yeah I almost mastered that one Kodai Fuin and I need to up my ninjutsu repertoire a bit, it might come in handy for the tests tomorrow.'
'Okay Naru-kun'
'Thanks as always'
Naruto was brought out of his thoughts as he felt a tug in his sleeves. He looked back and saw a sad looking Yakumo.
"Yes?"
"Are you mad at me?" she asked shocking the blonde.
"Why do you think I'm mad and what would I be mad at you for?"
"Well you seemed really cold recently and that started around the same time I convinced you to help Sasuke"
'Ah crap…' Naruto thought as that was around the time he decided to up his training meaning more time in the mindscape and he had to ignore Yakumo most of the time. 'Troublesome' he thought as he looked at Yakumo.
"No I'm not bad…. I've just been thinking about a lot and I mean a lot of things."
"What kind of things Uzumaki-san? Has that teenage hormone of yours popped out and finally decided to take advantage of me?" she asked seriously.
The blonde just tripped and face faulted causing both Yakumo and Eiko to laugh.
'You're too innocent Naru-kun'
'Shut up….'
The blonde stood up as he and Yakumo went around a corner to get to Ichiraku only to see a bizarre scene.
In the middle of the street was a boy with make up on his face wearing what looked to Naruto like Cat like Pajamas with something tied to his back. The teen was holding the grandson of the hokage by the scuff of his neck. Naruto looked around and saw a few more figures. A blonde chick with sandy blonde hair tied into four pony tails, who was wearing light purple clothing with her forehead suna protector around her neck, two small kids, and a familiar mop of pink hair that he ignored, plus that auburn haired boy who was standing on the three hiding with those eye bags and gigantic gourd strapped to his back.
Naruto just waved at the boy who was hiding in the tree as he and Yakumo went forward to try and stop the Suna-nin from doing something stupid.
"Yoh make-up boy"
"Its war paint damn it" the boy replied as he looked at the new arrivals on the scene he looked at the blonde and then at the brunette.
"What the hell do you want? Can't you see I'm disciplining this brat?"
"Oh so you were planning on disciplining the Hokage's grandson?" Naruto casually said causing both the make-up boy and female blonde to freeze up.
"Kankuro put the kid down, now" the girl told the now known boy now known as Kankuro
"Shu-" he didn't get to finish as the blonde's fist connected to his face.
"Sorry I'm kind of in a hurry here I'm starving and it's rude to make a lady wait" he said making Yakumo blush a bit.
"Why you!" Kakurou said as he started to reach for whatever the hell that was in his back only to get another punch to his face courtesy of the blonde.
"So can we go now?" Naruto said directing the question to the suna kunoichi
"Yeah you can, sorry about that" she said as she picked up the now unconscious form of her stupid brother.
"Well then see you tomorrow at the exams" Naruto said as he turned around and called for Yakumo who was talking to kids.
"What is your name?" a voice said coming from behind the blonde not really surprising him.
"Isn't it rude to ask for names without introducing yourself" he countered
"Subaku no Gaara" the voice replied and stared as he looked at Naruto who was already with Yakumo walking away.
"You didn't give me your name" the ichibi jinchuuriki said.
"I'll tell you next time Ichibi" the blonde said as he and Yakumo left the scene leaving behind two wide-eyed Suna genins while one was still unconscious.
"What was that about?" Yakumo asked.
"Honestly I don't know and I don't want to know"
As the two were only about two minutes away from Ichiraku Yakumo suddenly stopped in front of a shop that managed to catch her attention.
"Uzumaki-san" she called out stopping the walking blonde.
"Huh? What is it Kumo-chan?"
"Can we go in here before we go to Ichiraku?"
Naruto just looked at the shop; it was a simple mask shop. He shrugged as he accompanied Yakumo inside.
Naruto and Yakumo spent a few minutes looking around the shop there were a variety of masks, from the standard anbu masks, to masks with the face of famous ninjas, heck there was a mask with Kakashi's face in front of it. Naruto then stopped as he stared at a pair of two masks, one smiling in joy while the other frowning in sadness.
Yakumo noticed this and grabbed the two masks. "Don't you think masks are cool Uzumaki-san?"
"They're not bad"
"Hhmm… I like masks, you can put them on and hide your true emotions, act happy while you're sad, or act side when you're actually happy" she said as she switched between the tragedy and comedy masks over her face.
"So do you like masks as well Uzumaki-san?"
The blonde smiled his friend was really strange from time to time "They're not bad" he repeated.
Yakumo just smiled as she looked at him.
"I'll take these two" she said handing the tragedy and comedy masks to the owner of the shop and paying for it.
"Here" she said taking out the tragedy mask and giving it to the blonde.
"Huh? Why are you giving this to me?"
"Because for some reason, I think you're always sad inside." She said as she walked out of the store.
"Huh?" Naruto said as he looked at the frowning mask. Shrugging Naruto sealed the mask into one of the seals in his body and made his way out of the shop.
He and Yakumo then went to Ichiraku and spent an hour eating before they parted ways.
The next day
Naruto woke up around four in the morning he got up and did his early morning routine of various exercises he stopped around seven and took a shower before eating breakfast. He left his apartment around nine as he made his way towards the Academy.
The Uzumaki saw his team standing in front of the academy "Ohayo Uzumaki-san" he heard from Yakumo as he looked at her and returned the greeting with a nod.
"Morning" came from one Uchiha forcing the Uzumaki to return the greeting.
"So is everyone ready?" the Uzumaki said.
After getting nods from his two team mates the blonde kicked the door to the academy open as he and his two teammates entered. The three made it up to the second floor and saw a bunch of student stuck there because of some simple genjutsu. The Uzumaki glared at Uchiha that said something along the line of say some something about the genjutsu and I'll kill you. The Uchiha nodded as the three of them went upstairs to the third floor.
"I challenge you Uchiha Sasuke to a duel!" came a voice from the second floor making the three look back and see a bowl cut haired boy wearing a green jumpsuit.
"Ignore him Sasuke, the exams is about to start in 20 minutes we don't have time to waste" said Naruto making the Uchiha nod.
"Is this how an Uchiha respond to a chal-" he was stopped when the blonde form top the stairs vanished and reappeared in front of the genin. "We don't have time to waste so unless you want me to kick your ass you'd better shut up and leave" said the Uzumaki releasing some KI and making the boy back away.
"Good" said Naruto as he began climbing back up the stairs to make his way to his teammates who already left, not noticing a pair of pupil less white eyes staring at him. "Interesting" he said as he approached his still shaking team mate.
"Let's go Lee" the boy said as the mop haired boy along with a girl with her hair styled as buns made their way to third floor.
"Yoh!" Kakashi said to his team
"It's good to see you're all here, good luck and remember to watch each other's backs " the Jonin said as his genins entered the exam room. The three were drowned by the KI of all the participants in the room. Naruto noticed some high levels of KI directed at him by the guy from yesterday, The Inuzuka heir, and the Yamanaka heir. Did he care? No.
Naruto just leaned on the wall near the back of the hall as he observed what happened.
Some guy with white hair and round glasses approached his former classmates who were having a reunion.
'Knock knock'
'Who's there?'
'A creepy looking kusa-nin looking at you at nine o clock' she replied surprising the blonde.
Naruto continued to ignore the glasses wearing Konoha-nin even after he was attacked by a mummy and discreetly shifted his attention to a woman standing in a corner with a team of Kusa-nins.
'Is it me or….'
'Yes that man is hiding it pretty well but he's reeking of killer intent and snakes'
'There's only one snake user I know of and that's not her so…'
'Fuck' Naruto thought.
'Language Naru-kun'
'The fuck is Orochimaru doing in here?'
'I don't know, why don't you ask him?'
'Yep good idea to go in front of an S-class missing nin and tell him to say hi what are you doing here Oro-frigging-chimaru!'
'Wait… Orochimaru is obsessed with some kind of goal to learn all jutsus or something…. That's what was written in his page in the bingo book or something.'
'Shit… he's after the Uchiha'
'Your team is really a magnet for trouble, next thing you'd know there will a bunch of S-Rank Missins nins after your behind.'
'Don't jinx it! But mmm should I alert Konoha?'
'It's up to you Naru-kun'
'Meh… I'll just see how this plays out.'
He then heard a puff of smoke appear in the middle of the room and there stood a man wearing a black coat with a bandana.
"My name is Morino Ibiki and I'll be your first examiner, now shut up and listen!" the man the then waited for the other pronctors to direct all the genins to their seats to his surprise though Naruto was placed next to the Hyuuga Heiress. Naruto paid attention as Ibiki began explaining the written tests and the rules. He said that cheating was not allowed and that if you were caught five times you and your team were disqualified and that the last question was going to be asked when there was only twenty minutes left. Shortly after that he began with the help of some clones began handing out the exam sheets.
"You have an hour start!" the man said as almost everyone began answering their tests. The smart ones like Naruto and Yakumo just simply answered the questions, the stupid ones began praying to whatever gods they wanted as they desperately tried to cheat and hoped not to get caught. While the other main characters just cheated cause apparently no once notices a dog barking out answers, a huge doll taking the place of a proctor, or the Hyuuga and Uchiha's using their doujutsu.
'Yep best proctors ever, no wonder Orochimaru got in here so easily, these people are retarded' The blonde thought.
Naruto just sighed as he finished his test and paid little to no attention to the Hyuuga heir who was sitting beside him.
Soon enough time ran out and Ibiki started telling them about how they should quit now or they will never be able to take this test ever again.
'Wow this guy must secretly be the Hokage if he can make a stupid law like that' Naruto thought as he continued to ignore what was happening.
After a few more minutes the man finally said "You all pass!"
The man then started to try to explain the meaning of the test only to be stopped when a round object crashed into the windows, placing a large banner which was now running over the room.
'The sexy and single, Mitarashi Anko!' Naruto thought as he saw the banner.
"Ah crap its Hebi-nee" Naruto said as he ducked down just in time to avoid a Kunai headed for his head. The chuunin proctor behind him wasn't so lucky.
"Hey Anko-nee" Naruto said as he looked at the figure who was standing in the center of the room. She was a woman in her earlier twenties with purple hair shaped like a pineapple. She was wearing a tan over coat on top of a mesh body suit that perfectly showed her curves. She was also wearing a dark orange mini-skirt.
"Hey Gaki" she said as the two knew each other from way back, being a social pariah as well Anko and Naruto met in training ground 44 when Naruto was training and hunting the animals there for food but that's a story for another time.
"Hey" he greeted back ignoring the stares everyone in the room was giving him even his team mates Sasuke and Yakumo were staring at him for kami's sake.
"Well then I'm the examiner for the second part of this test Mitarashi Anko. Come to training ground 44 in 30 minutes be late and your disqualified" the girl said before vanishing using a Shunshin.
Shaking his head Naruto made his way to his team and promised to explain how he knows the instructor to them after the exams. He then directed them towards training ground 44.
Training Ground 44
Naruto, Sasuke, and Yakumo were running through the infamous forest of death. After arriving at the scene Anko explained to all the chuunin hopeful the rules for the test. Find an opposite scroll from yours which can be either earth scroll or a heavens scroll, make your way to the tower in the middle of the forest before day five, and try not to die. She laughed saying the last part which made majority of the noobie genins sh*t to themselves.
"So we've been running for a while now, Uzumaki-san Sasuke-san do you have any plans?" asked Yakumo as she jumped from one tree to the next. Team seven was now in the midst of the forest that was supposed to be filled with gigantic animals but for some reason they haven't encountered any or would retreat the moment they saw team 7. It was as if they were afraid of something.
"We find another team take their scrolls then head to the tower" replied Naruto as if it was the simplest thing in the world.
"Hn" was the reply of the Uchiha as he took out a kunai.
"So finally sensed it too Sasuke?"
"Split up!" Naruto screamed out.
His team immediately complying managed to evade a large gust of wind headed for their direction.
"Oh my, that is quite surprising" said the Kusa-ni who appeared a top one of the trees.
"Hello to you two Orochimaru" said Naruto making the Kusa-nin narrow her eyes at the blonde.
"How did you figure it out?" the Kusa-nin asked as he ripped his mask now revealing the face of one of the sanin and leaking out so much KI that made Yakumo and Sasuke almost faint.
"During the first exams, you were staring too much at me and Sasuke, plus no matter how good you hid it, your KI was still waving off charts, that and you smell like snakes ."
"I'll keep that in mind next time" the Sanin said as he began his attack.
The blonde narrowed his eyes as he appeared in front of Sasuke tanto already drawn just in time to block an attack from the snake man.
"Oh?" Orochimaru said quite impressed that the blonde managed to react on time.
"Now!" Naruto said as he jumped back just in time to avoid a fireball and a bolt of lightning headed for Orochimaru. The attacks hit creating a cloud of dust but to Yakumo and Sasuke's surpise what they found wasn't a damaged snake man but a destroyed lump of clay.
"Fuuton: Daitoppa" Naruto heard as he was sent flying through the forest courtesy of one Orochimaru.
'Shit' Naruto thought as he landed and barely had time to use Kawarimi to evade a giant snake appearing out of nowhere mouth open and ready to eat him.
Naruto back flipped a few times as another snake tried to eat him. Trying to evade the first snake and this second one Naruto looked for his team mates and gritted his teeth.
"Stupid snake man must be attacking them now" he said as another snake appeared out of nowhere.
'Shit' the blonde thought as he kept evading the assault of the three gigantic snakes.
'Ei-nee'
'On it' the bijuu answered as she began channeling chakra into the blonde's body.
"Well time to try this out" the blonde said as he looked at the threesnakes in front of him, activating his eyes he spotted a few points that he could easily exploit.
"Sensou (Flash Dash)" the blonde said as he disappeared in a blur of yellow appearing behind the two snakes.
"You are already dead" he said as the two snakes fell to the ground, existence long gone.
"AAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH HHHHH" the blonde heard making his eyes widen as he immediately used Sensou to get back to his team mates.
A few minutes ago
'Shit' Sasuke thought as he had both his sharing a blazing. This guy was the real deal an S-rank ninja who shrugged whatever he and Yakumo can throw at him.
"My my I'm not impressed Sasuke, I was expecting better from the Last Uchiha" the snake man said trying to aggravate the Uchiha.
"Well…. Fuck you" was all Sasuke said as he got kicked in the gut by the Sanin.
"What was that?" Orochimaru asked as he looked at Sasuke.
"I said F-U-C-K Y-O-U or are you deaf now?" the Uchiha said as he took out some shuriken and threw it at the snake man.
"Where are you aiming at Sasuke?" the Sanin asked as all the shurikens missed.
"This" the boy said as he finished some hand seals "Katon: Ryuka no Jutsu (Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique)"
The Sanin's eyes widened as he saw the extremely thin wires connected to the shuriken earlier wre actually being used as a path for the flames to travel on. It was good but wasn't good enough. The man was about to used Kawarimi but suddenly noticed his body couldn't move.
"What th-" he said as he saw the last genin of the team standing in the corner holding a hand seal.
'Genjutsu Shibari? (Illusionary Bindign Technique), well it seems that the Kurama has fight in her as well the Sanin thought as he dispelled the genjutsu and Kawarimi'd just in time to avoid the flames.
"Did we get him?" Yakumo asked as she stood beside Sasuke,
"No" the Uchiha said as he took out a Kunai and stood behind Yakumo in a defensive position, catching up Yakumo did the same as both looked around ready for any attack or to be surprised when the snake man appeared from underground and kicked Yakumo and Sasuke away from each other.
Yakumo began going through some hand seals and began to use all the Genjutsus and Ninjutsus in her repertoire to try and fend off the Snake even the Kokuangyo no Jutsu or her Genjutsu based Raiton were just shrugged off and her attempts to get closer to the Uchiha were met with a back hand from the snake.
'Gi….. cont…..i….L….l…po…..wer…' Yakumo heard as she clutched her head.
'No not now' she thought as she saw Sasuke trying to fight the Sanin in Taijutsu of all things.
The snake man eventually kicked Sasuke away and started talking once more. Yakumo couldn't exactly here what he was saying but when she saw that Sasuke was badly beaten and barely conscious. The moment Orochimaru extend his head she knew she had to do.
Yakumo channeled chakra to her legs as she ran towards Sasuke using Kawarimi she switched positions with the Uchiha.
"AAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH HHHHH" Yakumo screamed out as she felt the man's fang sink into her skin along with the searing pain of a seal being branded on her neck.
Orochimaru smirked he has this Sharingan in the bag or not. His eyes widened as he saw who was it the he had just bitten it was the girl. 'Where the hell' is Sasuke he thought ignoring Yakumo who is currently on the ground screaming in pain.
"Ah! There you are!" he said as he spotted the now unconscious Uchiha lying on the ground only a few feet away.
"Now then to put the se-" was all he said as he was forced to jump back to evade a blade of wind heading for him.
"Kaze no Yaiba? (Blade of Wind)" the snake said as he ducked and spun around kicking the blonde boy who suddenly exploded.
'Shit' he thought as he immediately created a Tsuchi Bunshin and replaced himself with it as he sunk underground.
"Tsk" Naruto said as he sliced the Tsuchi Bunshin in half.
The blonde looked around and saw his two team mates now unconscious because of their injuries. 'Ei-nee more chakra please at least a tail's worth' the blonde asked as his tenant kindly complied creating a cloak of red chakra with one tail behind the blonde.
The blonde jumped up to a tree just in time to avoid hundreds if not thousands of snakes coming out of the ground. He inhaled as he side stepped avoiding a punch from Orochimaru who was now coming out of the tree. He blonde went through some hand seals and fired a Fox shaped fireball at the man only for him to slither away to avoid it.
'Shit' Naruto though as he continued looking at the snake's body.
'You've been experimenting on your body too much' the blonde thought as he saw a lot of lines along the snake man's body but for some reason he could only spot a few points on his body.
'Can't go for the one hit kill, he's too fast for me to even get in range and hit one of those' the blonde thought as he threw a kunai with an explosion tag at the snake man.
"You're absolutely marvelous Naruto-kun" the snake said as the smoke created by the explosive tag receded.
"If it wasn't for that fox I would've loved to make you one of my possible vessels. Well at least after Sasuke."
"You really do love little boys a tad bit too much don't you Orochi-teme?" The blonde snapped back getting only a chuckle from the snake man.
"Joke all you want Naruto-kun but one thing is for certain I won't leave until I bite Sasuke" Orochimaru said as he popped into smoke revealing himself to be a Kage Bunshin not really surprising the blonde as the real one appeared from underground just slightly in front of the blond.
"Gogyo Fuin (Five Elements Seal)" the snake man screamed out as purple flames formed around his fingers.
He missed the smirk on the blonde's face and that cost him his plan.
"Gogyo Fuin Taiko (Five Elements Seal Counter)" the blonde said as orange flames appeared on his fingers. He trusted his arm out his fingers meeting the snakes.
There was a flash of light as both were pushed away from each other.
"What did you do!" the Sanin screamed out as he fell on his knees. His chakra was going insane inside him and he couldn't control it property.
"Well you did try to use a fuinjutsu against a Uzumaki so I just showed you whose better at the art." The blonde said as he made his way to Yakumo ignoring the now furious Orochimaru.
"Your chakra will be disrupted for the next day so if you'd want to escape I suggest you hurry up right now. As much as I want to go ahead and kill you while you're as harmless as a garden snake my companions need medical attention first and who know" the blonde paused as he made a Kage Bunshin to take care of Sasuke while he lifted up Yakumo bridal style and deactivated his Magan. "You might be useful to me in the future" he followed with a hint of coldness in his voice making the sanin's eyes widen.
"Don't tell me you're…" the snake man said as he looked at the genin in shock
"ORRRRRRROOOOOOOOCCCCCCCCCCCH HHIIIIIMMMMMMAAAAARUUUUUUUUU UU" came a familiar voice near their area.
"Tsk" the snake sanin said as he fled the scene.
'Interesting, you are very interesting Uzumaki Naruto' the snake said as he had his reunion with his old student.
After another few minutes carrying Yakumo the blonde placed her in the ground as he looked closely at her neck.
"Ten no Juin (Cursed Seal of Heaven)" the blonde said as he activated his doujutsu and saw some malicious points and lines along the seal.
'Eiko-nee'
'Yeah Naru-kun?'
'Is its actually possible for me to stab the point and have no repercussions on Yakumo?'
'There is one way you can use Kaija Hoin(Evil Releasing Method) to release the soul of the snake man then kill him, but to do that you need to use Shisho Fuin(Four Symbols Seal) toplace the soul in a vessel first before you can kill him.'
'Would an animal suffice? ' Naruto asked as he saw a small black snake slithering in the ground
'Yes Naru-kun' she said as Naruto made a clone to capture the snake.
'Well here goes nothing' he thought as his clone brought him the snake.
Naruto went through the necessary hand seals and brought his hand into the mark in Yakumo's neck "Kaija Hoin!" the blonde screamed out as he pulled Orochimaru's soul at out of the seal as his clone began doing some hand seals as well "Shisho Fuin" the clone yelled out as he grabbed the soul of Orochimaru and sealed it within the black snake.
"What the he-" was all the snake could say before a tanto met one of the points in the snake's body killing it on the spot.
'Did that actually kill Orochimaru?' he asked to his tenant.
'You killed a fragment of the man's existence he won't be killed but he will be severely weakened.'
'Good' the blonde thought as he looked at Yakumo.
'Sorry I wasn't there to protect you' he thought as he brushed her hair to the side of her face.
"Well then I need to find an Earth Scroll but I can`t just leave them here…." He thought as he placed his chin under his hand adapting a thinking posture.
"Well look at we have here!" came a voice behind the blonde.
Naruto turned around and spotted a three-man team from Iwa.
The blonde just smiled.
5 Days Later, Tower in the middle of the forest of death
Naruto, Sasuke, and Yakumo plus a bunch of other genins were currently lined up in front the Hokage. Five days ago Naruto arrived in the tower carrying an unconscious Yakumo and Sasuke after Naruto kindly "borrowed" an Earth Scroll from the Iwa team kami bless their souls. They were actually the second team to arrive in the tower only beaten by the Ichibi's team. Sasuke eventually woke up and the blonde told him what happened. The Uchiha was furious towards the snake sage and worried for Yakumo as she was still unconscious during the time. It took two whole days of sleep before Yakumo woke up. After waking up Yakumo immediately ensured her team mates that everything was fine, but Naruto noticed that from time to time his team-mate and friend would clutch her head. He asked her what it was about but she told him it was just a harmless migraine.
If only he knew he could've done something if only he knew.
Naruto yawned as he looked at the other genins who survived the earlier part which to his consisted off mostly teams from Konoha *cough rigged cough* along with a team from Oto with the mummy and the team from Suna with the Ichibi. Speaking of team from Suna make up boy was still staring at him. He looked at the direction of the boy and mouthed out
"I know I'm sexy but stop checking me out" he said angering the suna-nin and making his sister laugh at his expense.
Naruto just shook his head and looked in front of him, returning his attention to the old man who was still delivering a speech about the will of fire. Yep he was basically ignoring it. So he really barely noticed Gekko Hayate take the place of the Sandaime and began explaining that they had too many participants and something about having preliminary round or something.
The blonde just remained silent as various voices complained about how this is not fair yada yada yada. Oh and he also saw that white-haired kid from earlier quit.
'Pansy' the blonde thought as he watched the boy leave 'Or not' he thought as he smelled faint traces of snakes from the man.
'Huh… guess that's why I get for not paying attention to those who I consider Minor characters' the blonde thought.
"First Match Uchiha Sasuke vs Akado Yoroi!" said Hayate as he ordered the rest of the genins up to the upper levels of the hall.
Naruto just smirked as he looked at the battle that Yoroi guy just basically told Sasuke flat-out that he can absorb Chakra through skin contact. The Uchiha took great advantage of that fact by distancing himself from the guy. He then burned the man alive with a fireball.
"Winner: Uchiha Sasuke" Hayate said earning a loud screaming squealing fan girlish noise from one Yamanaka Ino.
"Second Match Aburame Shino vs. Abumi Zaku"
Naruto frowned as he watched the match. Like the other guy this Zaku talked too much. We're frigging ninja's for kami's sake stop talking and just spam the shit out of that useless wind technique. If he was against this guy he would've shown him what a real Fuuton attack could do. Shame though since that chances of that happening was rendered null when his the boy's arms exploded because of Shino's insects.
"Winner: Aburame Shino"
"Third Match Yamanaka Ino vs Kurama Yakumo"
This one actually got Naruto's attention as he'd really like to see how the heir of the famous Yamanaka Clan would deal with a real Kunoichi.
"Hajime!" Hayate said as the two combatants began their battle, if you can even call it that.
"I'll beat you to impress Sasuke!" said Ino as she threw shurikens at the Kurama heir which the girl evaded.
Shaking her head Yakumo just charged in and began fighting the girl with Taijutsu. She knew it was her weakest point and was constantly reminded about it every time she saw Naruto practicing his Katas or sparring with the Uchiha. So she was quite surprised when she found out that she was actually beating Ino in it.
'God…. She sucks…' Yakumo thought as she threw another punch hitting the Yamanaka in the cheek and sending her rolling back.
"Is that everything you got you bitch?" said the Yamanaka heir trying to provoke her opponent.
"Hmm did you say something?" Yakumo replied ignoring the sounds saying 'Damn you and your hipness' coming from the crowd.
"Well then time to end this" the Yamanaka said as she got ready to use her clan's signature ability.
The eyes of one Kurenai Yuhi from the crowds widened as she saw what Ino was about to do. This didn't escape the eyes of Naruto.
"Shintenshin no Jutsu (Mind Body Switch Technique)" she screamed out as her body fell limp on the ground.
Exactly five seconds later Ino began screaming as she clutched her head in the floor. Yakumo just shrugged as she walked to Ino and kicked her in the gut knocking her out.
"Winner: Kurama Yakumo" Hayate said as Yakumo left the stage and made her way back to the stands.
"Good job" the blonde said as Yakumo passed by.
"Thank you Uzumaki-san" she said as she took a few more steps only to fall on her knees and clutch her head.
Naruto was about to ask her if she was okay but was stopped when Kurenai went over to Yakumo.
"Wha?" was all Naruto said before Kurenai and Yakumo vanished via Shunshin.
"What was that about?" the blonde asked as he looked at Kakashi and Sasuke who just shrugged not really knowing what happened. Although Kakashi did have an idea, he didn't want to tell it to the genins since it was not the proper time for it.
"Fourth Match: Uzumaki Naruto vs Inuzuka Kiba" Hayate announced as the blonde heard a loud "Yahoo!" coming from the side.
"Good luck Naruto" he heard from both his team-mate and sensei as he jumped down into the arena.
Kiba and his partner Akamaru were about to make their way to the arena but stopped when Kiba felt a hand on his shoulder. Turning around the Inuzuka saw his team-mate Shino gripping his shoulder
"You should give up" the man said coldly earning a growl from Kiba.
"Why? I'm better than that teme!" Kiba said as he glared as his team-mate.
"You will lose" was all Shino manage to say as Kiba ignored him and walked down to the stage.
"He might kill you" Shino added earning a gasp from their third team-mate.
"Naru-kun won't kill him" HInata said defending the blonde.
The Aburame knew better, one of his bugs actually saw how Naruto dealt with the Iwa-nins and it was not a pretty sight.
"Ready to Lose Baka!" Kiba said cockily as he got into his family taijutsu stance with Akamaru at his side.
Naruto just looked at Hayate "You heard him, he's ready to lose" the blonde said earning a sweat drop from the proctor as he signalled the match to begin.
The Inuzuka immediately ran forward and threw a punch that the blonde lazily blocked and countered with a kick to the dog's face pushing him back.
"Huh? You really are all bark and no bite" the blonde said angering the Inuzuka and making him charge forward once more.
"Hmm…this is getting in the way" the blonde said as he kicked Akamaru away.
"Grrr…" Kiba said as he spun around heading for the blonde "Tsuga (Passing Fang)"
The blonde looked at the attack; it was so slow, so slow compared to that girl in the waves months ago, slower than Orochimaru.
'Was that what it is like to be weak?' he thought as he extended his left arm forward and grabbed the Inuzuka's head while he was spinning. Kiba was shocked at what the blonde did but was soon snapped out of it when his face met the pavement. He felt his whole body bounce off the ground due to the blonde's strength. His half lided eyes widened when he saw a foot right in front of his face.
'Shit' was all he thought as he was sent crashing into the wall of the arena right next to Akamaru.
All of the ninjas except the Hokage, Kakashi , Team 7, and Shino were shocked at the blonde's display of power. They knew he was rookie of the year and was somewhat strong but this was insane. The older ninjas thought it was just dumb luck or that the Kyuubi was the one who made him stronger, but this this wiped out all of their doubts, in front of them now was a boy an extremely strong boy with limitless potential that they were glad was on their side. While the younger ones save a raccoon, a hyuuga, and gai jr, did not want to fight the blonde anytime soon even Sasuke had more common sense to try to fight him now.
"Is that all?" the blonde asked as he haven't even moved from the spot he was on.
"No…. way…. You dobe….." the Inuzuka said as he slowly got up.
"Tell you what Kiba, make me move from this spot and I'll give up the match" the blonde said earning a bunch of murmuring from the genins watching.
"Take the deal Kiba" Shino thought
"No way in hell!"
"Well if you say so" the blonde said nonchalantly as he watched Kiba take a food pill and give one to Akamaru as well.
"Shikyaku no Jutsu(Four Legs Technique)" Kiba said as he got on all fours Akamaru standing on top of him. "Jujin Bushin(Beast Human Clone)" Kiba said as Akamaru transformed into another Kiba.
"Gatsuga(Fang Passing Fang)" Kiba screamed out as he and his partner started to spin at ferocious speeds. Naruto observed as the attack hit the surrounding area stong enough to actually break the concrete.
'Hmm… Ei-nee can you sense if HE is watching?'
'Yep, he is in the second floor in one of the viewing rooms'
'Thanks as always Ei-nee'
'No problem Naru-kun'
'Well time to show that stupid perv that I learned this technique so he'll teach me some new stuff' Naruto though as he lazily placed his hand to his side palm facing the sky as a small orb of concentrated chakra began forming around it.
The blonde smirked as he heard gasps coming from around the room specially the ones coming from Kakashi and Sarutobi. In the room in the second floor an old man with spiky white hair wearing a green kimono and a red coat with getta sandals plus head band with the Kanji of oil written on it smirked.
"I give you vague instructions and you managed to recreate it, you really are Minato's son."
"Rasengan (Spiralling Sphere)" Naruto said as he met the two spinning fangs coming towards him head on with the A-rank jutsu.
Soon enough the Inuzuka was sent spiralling back by the attack already unconscious before his body even hit the wall.
There was silence….
It was disturbing…
"Umm.. proctor-san?" the Uzumaki said looking at Hayate.
"Ah forgive me Winner: Uzumaki Naruto" he announced as the blonde Shunshin'd back to his place beside a wide-eyed Kakashi and Sasuke.
"What?" he asked.
"You know what I'm not even surprised" Kakashi said as he shook his head.
Sasuke was about to ask the blonde to teach him but was cut off by the blonde. "I won't teach it to you Sasuke but I heard our sensei has a technique as strong as this one have him teach you that" Naruto said making Sasuke switch his attention to the Jonin.
"Fifth Match Sabaku no Kankuro vs Tsurugi Misumi"
Naruto watched as cat boy used his doll to kill the Konoha-nin.
"Winner Sabaku no Kankuro"
"Wow and I thought you couldn't even get gayer, make-up, a black dress, and a doll?" I feel sorry for you Naruto said earning a tick mark from Kankuro who needed to be restrained by his jonin sensei Baki from attacking the boy.
"Sixth Match Sabaku no Temari vs Ten Ten"
A simple wind jutsu and the weapon mistress got owned.
"Winner: Sabaku no Temari"
Naruto just shook his head at the quality of the recent Konoha kunoichi's besides Yakumo each and every one of them were bad.
"Seventh Match Nara Shikamaru vs Tsuchi Kin"
This match actually had Naruto laughing it was just like Shikamaru to fight like that. Making the girl hit her head in the wall and knock herself out. Yep classic Shikamaru
"Winner: Nara Shikamaru"
"Eight Match: Hyuuga Neji vs. Hyuuga Hinata"
Naruto winced at the one sided fight. He felt indifferent about the Hyuuga heiress but even she didn't deserve that kind of beat down.
"Winner: Hyuuga Neji"
"Ninth Match: Akamichi Choji vs Kinuta Dosu"
Naruto face palmed Dosu just punched Choji….. that was it….
"Winner: Kinuta Dosu"
"Last Match: Sabaku no Gaara vs Rock Lee"
This match had Naruto's attention as he closely observed the Ichibi jinchuuriki's abilities. 'Interesting an auto mated defense made of his sand good for both offense and defense but he lacks speed and he's pretty much defenseless if that sand is taken out of the picture' Naruto thought as his eyes narrowed. 'That guy in green isn't bad as well he's fast as me but his fighting style is too straight forward he relies too much on his speed' the blonde saw that the boy was getting tired 'and he needs to work on his stamina' he thought as he watched Gaara eventually finish the match by crushing the boy's left arm and leg.
"Winner: Sabaku no Gaara"
"Now to all the winners please come back down here so you can draw from this box to see who you'll be fighting in the finals" Hayate said as everyone picked their numbers.
"Okay number one and two please step forward" the man said as Naruto and Neji stepped forward.
"First Match Uzumaki Naruto vs Hyuuga Neji"
"Three and Four"
"Second Match Aburame Shino vs Sabaku no Kankuro"
"Five and Six"
"Third Match Sabaku no Temari vs Nara Shikamaru"
"Seven and Eight"
"Fourth Match Sabaku no Gaara vs Uchiha Sasuke"
"Last Watch Kinata Dosu vs Kurama Yakumo"
"You have one month to prepare for the finals, use your time appropriately" the Hokage said.
The genins all nodded as they except with their senseis except for Naruto who decided to stay in the place.
"So are you going to be willing to teach me for this past month Ero-sennin?" the blonde asked as the man appeared in the room.
"Yep, you really shocked me there you mastered the Rasengan, How long did it take you to figure it out?"
"A month" the blonde said as he looked at the Gama-sanin
"So are you going to be peeping or are we going to be training?"
"Can't we do both?"
The boy just shrugged as he walked out of the tower the sannin just slightly trailing from behind him.

A/N: My interpretation of points is that the points are what makes you you so what makes a living person living or what makes a jutsu a jutsu. The lack of points in Orochimaru's body is due to the fact that he splits his soul everytime he uses his curse on someone. So he is somewhat spltting up what makes him him.
Understand? Yeah cause I don't lolz!
ANN: Yep sorry if it feels like I'm rushing the events cause truth be told I just want to time skip to tsunade retrieval arc but that ll look like me just flipping all off my readers off. So I say just grit your teeth and read cause awesomeness will come in the future.
