The Second Trial

"This is insane, how did you guys make this?!" The group had appeared right outside of a seemingly endless city made of various sized buildings, some small and some touching the sky. Some were made of stones and the others were made of wood. After the puffs of smokes ended, signifying the last of the team's passing the first test, several ninja from various villages walked out of the building. A man wearing the standard Konoha-nin attire walked out in front of the rest and said "Alright I'm the proctor for the second round, my name is Yamato. The second round will be a game of capture the flag in this city with a twist." He gained a rather devious smile and pointed over to a stall that had several Shinobi in it. "Over there you will receive a tag with a number on it, you must capture the corresponding flag, two teams will have the same tag so at least half of you will be eliminated, however it's not only each other you have to worry about when capturing the flags." At this the Shinobi behind him all performed the same seals. Once the sequence was done loud, demonic roars could be heard coming from all over the city. "Those are golems, all infused with each of the five elements. In order to capture the flag you must defeat the golem and the other team must be knocked unconscious or killed. The tags will be synced to all of your bodies and once they detect that a team is unconscious or dead, the barriers surrounding the flag will drop allowing you to get your flag. Once you have the flag you will head to the center of the city, about four days from your current position. You will have one week to get the flag and make it to the center. Don't worry about food there are many rivers flowing throughout the city that all contain fish and their are various plant life as well. Goodluck to you all and be careful this may very well be the last week of some of your lives."

Jeez what a way to get us excited for this, it's the real deal this time though the three of us will need to be careful to survive this. Naruto thought to himself as he and his team walked to the stall to receive their crest. "You guys ready for this?" Naruto asked with concern in his voice.

"Yeah, why getting scared dobe?"

He just glared at the raven haired boy then turned to Sakura.

"Yeah I'm just as ready as you guys are, I'm not holding you guys back anymore I promise." She said with a newfound confidence in her voice.

"Alright let's go!" Naruto shouted with a smile, drawing the attention of various teams.

"Hey uhh we're still in our dress clothes. And why're your clothes all torn? Sakura asked.

"Yeah unlike you they actually cut us, they were shallow cuts thankfully and the chair had healing seals on it, tousan has been working on them for awhile with Tsunade Baa-chan. They only work on more minor injuries though so that's why all of our cuts were rather shallow." Naruto said while he rubbed his hands over his chest on the spot where the Suna-nin had slashed.

While Naruto was explaining, the various teams began shouting at Yamato due to the fact that they as well were all in their dress clothes.

Why couldn't someone else be proctor Yamato thought before he used chakra to enhance his voice and shouted "If you'd all pay attention there are stalls behind each team. In there will be each team member's names, one person at a time will go in there, you bite your thumb and swipe the blood across your name. All of your gear and clothes will appear, now hurry up we need to start soon so once you're changed go and grab your tags then go back to the areas you each appeared in."

Everyone did as they were told and 20 minutes later everyone was back at the starting areas ready to go. "Alright on my count the second exam begins. Three, two, one BEGIN!" Yelled Yamato. And with that everyone took off as fast as possible into the city to find their flags.

"Dobe did you see who has the same number as us?" Sasuke asked as Naruto was the one to grab the tag.

"Yeah it was the Oto genin, they didn't see me though but they started quite a bit away from us

we should find a place to stay in a few hours, damn we were out for awhile before the interrogation." The sun was already beginning to set signifying that they all had actually been knocked out for, at the very least, a full night's rest.

The trio alternated from running along the roads to going through buildings, trying at all costs to avoid running along the rooftops, they did not want to be that open especially with all the many, many teams active. After a bit they found one of the large streams flowing through the city. They stopped and Naruto made several shadow clones to span the river and then they cut the stream allowing Sasuke and Sakura to easily just pluck the fish right out of the stream.

After that Naruto created a small fire and soon the fish were cooking. Naruto used small wind jutsu to divert the smoke, keeping their positions safe.

"Alright that building in the distance, the one with the tree growing through it, we make it there and set camp for the night, it's large enough so that even if someone finds us there's plenty of room to fight properly." Naruto said with authority, looking at Sasuke the entire time, who surprisingly enough, didn't challenge the blonde haired teen.

The group ate then made their way to the building. Once there they made it to the middle of the building where Naruto went about setting perimeter seals. After that they climbed into the tree, the branches were already quite wide and had plenty of leaves even at this height. After making sure that they were secure and hidden in the leaves, the teens dozed off into sleep.

It was the middle of the night when the perimeter seal had been breached, waking him up at the same time as the Kyuubi did.

NARUTO GET OUT OF THERE!

He had never heard the Kyuubi sound this way, he knew whoever was coming towards them was not someone to mess with so with that in mind he threw all subtlety to the wind and shouted "SASUKE SAKURA RUN!" The teens were up in an instant and one look at Naruto was all the reasons they needed to take off. Naruto slapped a few explosive tags onto the tree and took off after his friends. After they were on the roof of the next building Naruto shouted "KAI!" Causing the tree and building to go up in flames as a massive explosion shook the area. Before the teens could relax a giant snake shot out of the explosion, completely unharmed by the raging inferno.

"Oh Kami no, Sasuke it's a snake summon, we need to get out of here fast." He looked over to Sasuke who had gone pale at the realization of just who it was they were dealing with. Meanwhile Sakura looked to be getting confused more and more by the second. "What does it matter that it's a snake summon?" She asked.

"Two people have the contract, one of them is back in Konoha, the other is Orochimaru." Naruto said in a grave voice. Sakura paled at this, everyone knew about the snake sannin and what he was capable of. "Summoning jutsu!" Naruto shouted. Immediately afterwards the trio were suddenly elevated several stories higher than they originally were. "Gaki you ready for that drink?" A deep loud voice said, if the explosion hadn't woken everyone up, Gamabunta's voice would've done the job. Naruto shot off several blasts from his ring high into the sky that all exploded loudly. "No sorry Bunta-San but I have a snake problem, I'm alerting tousan right now but I need your help if I want me and my friends to survive this." "What!? That bastard Orochimaru is here, but why?"

"My my Naruto-kun Minato and that fool Jiraiya have taught you well." Orochimaru said as he appeared from the floor. "Ah Bunta how nice to see you, perhaps I should summon Manda for you to play with." The Snake Sannin said with a smile.

"Please do I've been needing a new wallet." Bunta said, a large puff of smoke escaping his mouth.

"Summoning jutsu" Orochimaru said with a smile. A giant three headed brown snake appeared. Both the snake and Orochimaru struck forward, Gamabunta drew his blade then jumped forward, right when he was over the snake he swung the blade down, taking all three heads off at once. He landed on another building with a resounding boom as it was strained to carry his weight. "Striking shadow snakes!" The serpent's began wrapping around Gamabunta's legs, but despite his size Bunta could move with incredible speed and agility and such in one fluid motion he spun in a full 180, slicing through all of the snakes. "Alright Gaki, do you know your dad's or Jiraiya techniques with me?"

"Y-yeah I do"

"Alright good I'll supply the oil, you and whoever else can up there supply the fire. Toad oil gun!"

"Ready Sasuke?"

"Yeah Katon: fireball jutsu!"

"Katon: fireball jutsu!"

The boy's fire collided with the oil and the entire area in front of them was covered in the enhanced flames.

"My my that's quite the jutsu." Gamabunta turned around to see Orochimaru standing without a scratch on him. He smiled and slammed his hands down again, summoning two snakes that were much larger than the first one. "Kill the toad!" The snakes lunged forward and Gamabunta jumped out of the way, shooting water bullets as he did. Orochimaru used the distraction to get behind the giant toad and jump up onto him with a smile as he stared at his prey.

"Katon: crescent slash"

"Fuuton: crescent slash"

Naruto's technique combined with Sasuke, creating a much larger and faster blade of fire that Orochimaru jumped over. Due to the night covering some of their movements they were able to hide a surprise for the snake in the attacks and once the snake had landed they both pulled back, bringing in the shuriken that they had hidden in the attacks, attached to ninja wire. The blades curved around the snake several times then the boys pulled again tightening around him. "My whatever will I do now?"

"Sakura we'll make an opening, go in and hit him as hard as you can once you see it." Naruto said as Sasuke shouted "Katon: dragon fire jutsu."

"Fuuton: drilling wind bullet" the bullet combined with the fire, creating a fast moving inferno that hit the sannin, engulfing him in flames. Sakura ran forward and with all her strength delivered an uppercut to the flaming mass launching it high into the air. Once it hit its peak in ascent, the boys pulled the ropes down and to the right, slamming him into, and sending through, the roof of a nearby building. Naruto ran forward and jumped over the building and shouted "demonic ring, multiple blasts!" He fired off several shots of bijuu chakra into the hole, sending the snake all the way to the floor. Naruto landed on the building then jumped back to his friends. "Stay on your guard." Naruto said, worry still in his voice.

"Yes you two will do well." The snake jumped up out of the hole without a scratch on him. He had a wide grin as he stared at the trio. He jumped forward as one of his snakes crashed into the building, gashes all across it. The sannin landed and shot forward. Naruto called forth some of the nine tails chakra, coating him in a shapeless red mist. The sannin ran forward, engaging the trio in a taijutsu match. Naruto and Sasuke fought well together with their swords and would purposely leave openings for Sakura to throw in punches, overall their teamwork was almost flawless. Despite this, they couldn't land a hit on the snake who had yet to throw a punch himself.

A single pink petal fell in front of Orochimaru, soon many began falling all around him A genjutsu huh, these three could grow to be something special. He dispelled it right as Sakura was throwing a punch. He caught the punch and pulled her arm forward, throwing her off balance. He landed a quick succession of blows to her side. As he was about to kick her in the back Naruto and Sasuke appeared and slashed at him, forcing him to weave around the attacks. They came at him from both sides, the snake grabbed their blades with his hands then jumped and performed a powerful split kick to both the boys sending them back a good distance.

Sakura was still recovering on the floor after the attack hmm this will be much easier with one less problem he ran towards the downed girl picked her up by the throat and delivered a swift knee to her stomach then threw her with enough force to go through the wall of a nearby building.

His final snake crashed to the ground, missing it's head. Damn that toad, I will need to finish this soon Minato will be undoubtedly be on his way he ran towards Naruto who had just stood up.

Damn it we can't hold off much longer, tousan should be here soon but this guy is just toying with us what the hell does he want. The blond moved to slash forward and created a rasengan when Orochimaru dodged the feint. The snake grabbed his wrist and diverted the rasengan by pulling the blond forward into the sannin's fist, depriving the boy of oxygen.

Sasuke saw as Orochimaru's neck elongated and then went down, biting his friend on the neck before tossing him aside. He felt a burning is his eyes, so far he had been unable to properly follow the snake, but now his movements became readable, he could see more definition as the snake ran forward and was able to easily dodge the snakes that shot from his arm. "Good Sasuke, you've gotten all three tomoe now." Orochimaru said with a smile that would be enough to chill mosts blood cold. His neck elongated again and flew at Sasuke who didn't have the speed necessary to dodge. He felt a burning and then pain like he had never known then the world went black.

"Let's see if you two are strong enough to survive my gift." And with that the snake went into the ground as if it were water, ripples spreading out over the area.

Sakura woke with a start to water being sprayed into her face. "I'm almost out of chakra and I need to get the three of you out of here I can't make it too far but many other teams will be converging on this area to see what happened, grab the other two, the snake did something to them hopefully Minato will know what to do." Thankfully she still had plenty of chakra and was able to pick up both of her unconscious team members and hold on as the boss summon leaped away. She had to steel herself when she first saw her teammates, the site bringing her close to tears. Have to be strong, they need me right now more than ever to protect them.

"Alright I'm about empty i'll dispel before I land so I won't give away your position by all the noise when I land, so prepare yourself to jump." Before he dispelled Sakura jumped off onto the roof of a nearby building, shortly after a cloud of smoke engulfed the area and she took of running as fast as she could while holding her teammates under each arm. Can't run far like this but I need to still get away from here. Thankfully Bunta had left her not too far from a stream, she could feel the heat radiating off from the boys so she would need that water to try and cool them off.

She made her to a larger building that was a few seconds dead sprint away from the stream. She again went to the middle of the building and set the boys down. She went through Naruto's gear and found more perimeter seals, she then proceeded to set them about in the corners of the room and then cast a genjutsu, making anyone else see a false wall a few feet in front of her. Given to her lack of experience with the technique, someone who looked close enough might be able to tell that it was a genjutsu but hopefully it would give her enough time to either flee or make a plan should the situation arise.

The seals are set and the boys have wet rags on their foreheads, I need sleep, can't defend them properly if I'm half awake when an enemy comes. With that the pinkete fell into an uneasy sleep.

Outskirts of the city

"Why are you here Orochimaru." Minato said as he landed on a very large branch of a tree,his signature tri-pronged kunai in hand. Orochimaru walked out of the trunk, using the same technique as when he went sunk into the building. "Ah now is not the time to reveal my plans Minato, however I must say Naruto is quite skilled for someone his age." The snake said with a smile. Minato's grip tightened considerably on the kunai and his face set in a stone like mask, completely devoid of emotion, giving him a very intimidating look, the look of a hardened Shinobi. In a flash he appeared behind Orochimaru, a very large rasengan fully formed. The jutsu ripped right through him, but instead of blood, mud and rocks flew everywhere.

All of the larger trees were marked with his Hirashin as Yamato simply made sticks to begin with and then Minato would appear at each one, growing them using his Nine tails chakra mode. The large ones required much more time though so he would grow them as much as possible in a day then leave to grow the others but rather than run back he placed his Hirashin mark on them.

"Ah ah ah Minato, now is not the time for fighting though that will come soon. Do not stop the chunin exams or interfere with them in any way Minato, otherwise I promise you I will destroy Taki first and every village I come across on my way to Konoha." The snake said with a smile before Minato sent his arm right through the Sannin's stomach, his chakra mode activated. The sannin again turned to mud but another one did not reappear. He deactivated the nine tails chakra mode and sighed as he ran his hand through his hair, contemplating his options.

Damn it that wasn't an empty threat and I can't go about running through the city trying to find Naruto, Kichi said that he was still alive so I have to trust that he's completely okay. Gamabunta had sent Gamakichi to inform Minato of what happened with their fight with Orochimaru. He had appeared as fast as possible and could feel Orochimaru's chakra using sage mode. He teleported back to the main building in the center of the city, he needed to inform Jiraiya of this so they could make a plan on what to do next.

Next Morning

Sakura awoke to hearing slight groans coming from the boys. She took the rags off, which thankfully weren't too hot, and quickly went to the stream and back, placing the cold rags on their foreheads again. She had never appreciated the harsh training she went through after the land of waves more at that time as before the genjutsu creating the wall would have all but emptied her chakra reserves, now it had barely put a drop in them. She had worked hard to get her chakra capacity up as before it was, in all honesty, just above a civilian's, very low for even a fresh genin.

She went about the day setting up traps all over the very large floor she was in, there wasn't separate rooms, the wide open spaces were considerably better for open combat and well why waste the chakra in creating thousands of buildings with separate rooms in each one.

Naruto awoke inside the familiar sewer that housed the Kyuubi. After walking for a few minutes he arrived at the cell only to see the demon fox banging against the seal, with each bang some of the demon's chakra slipped out.

Damn that snake

"Kyuubi what's going on what are you doing?"

Do you remember anything about your encounter with the snake? The Kyuubi said in between slams.

"I remember fighting Orochimaru...he uh he knocked Sakura out…we fought one on one and...MY NECK" he reached to his neck and when he pulled his hand back he saw it was covered in a black liquid. "What the what is this?"

Orochimaru put one of his disgusting experiments on you, a curse seal. It allows him to put some of his chakra inside of you which will grow with more usage of the seal, allowing him to exert control over the person with the seal. I'm trying to force more of my chakra into you which will over power and break the seal but this damn snake applied a rather powerful one. It's making the process much more difficult, you're lucky that my chakra is healing you otherwise you'd be in immense pain. The demon said this last part with a hint of disappointment.

Naruto looked down into the water and saw his reflection without distortion. He turned his head and saw the seal which looked like three slightly curved lines, which spread out a rip-like pattern over his neck. The liquid was falling from the tips of the lines and they seemed to be getting shorter, although very slowly. "Well I appreciate the fact that you care enough about me to do this."

I'm not doing this for you, you pathetic human. I can't have a host who is the subject of a disgusting humans experiments or slave, knowing that man, it would not end well for me and I will not have my host used as such.

"Hm, you're doing it because you like me." The blonde said with a smile.

I will enjoy the day I finally am able to kill you. Now shut up I need to concentrate on loosening this damn seal.

Naruto decided to stand and watch as the giant demon smashed into the seal continuously. The ink from the seal began to fall off quicker now, soon it would be completely off.

Sakura awoke and immediately began looking around from the cover of her genjutsu, the perimeter had been breached. She saw immediately saw the culprits, the sound trio.

Damn it are we that close to the golem or do I have that bad of luck that they landed in this building.

"Where the hell are they Dosu? They're not here!" A boy wearing a beige shirt with two black stripes and three prints of the kanji for death down the front said to his other teammate, identified as Dosu. The boy looked like a mummy with bandages covering most of his face, leaving only his left eye uncovered. He also wore a large poncho with long sleeves, a snake patterned scarf around his neck and a straw raincoat protruding from the back of his scarf. The boy also had a large device on his arm that had several holes in it.

"Shut up Zaku I know what I'm doing." He then looked to their last teammate, a girl wearing a green vest and snake patterned pants and scarf. "Kin." He then looked forward. The kunoichi nodded and with extreme speed threw several senbon straight ahead. Sakura tensed, but didn't move as before the senbon could hit kunai shot forward, deflecting the senbon.

"They've set traps huh, don't move forward, Zaku if you would do the honors."

"With pleasure." The boy said with a grin as he outstretched both of his hands and with a shout said "Slicing Sound Wave!" The blast went through the fake wall and smashed into the actual one, raising dust and debris. When the dirt settled there was a gaping hole present but no people were present.

"What the h-" was all the mummy boy got out before explosions went off, bringing down the entire building.

Sakura was standing on a much lower building, the boys behind her. Part of her provisions was a way out, she had weakened a section of the wall behind her to the point where simply leaning against it would've caused it to crumble away. The second the boy, Zaku, had raised his arms she pressed on that section and jumped out holding the boys. Then she set off her trap, causing the whole building to fall in tremendous explosion. She grabbed the boys and began jumping across the rooftops as fast as possible, attempting to get away from the large cloud of debris currently trailing after her. Soon the debris inevitably caught her, forcing her to jump down into an alley between two buildings for cover. The cloud flew past over head for a time then it ended. As she was about to let out a breath in relief, the unmistakable sound of metal flying through the air reached her ears. Immediately she jumped up back to the roof tops, the alley was two narrow to fight properly.

Following after her were the sound trio, looking no more worse for wear than they had before "H-how? I dropped that building on you guys how the hell are you alive still?"

"It'll take a lot more than that to kill us, didn't you see what Zaku was able to do with wind? He simply shot a powerful blast above and below us, giving us somewhere to land and preventing any debris from falling on us." Dosu said with a happiness in his voice that chilled Sakura, he enjoyed the process his victims went through when they realized their attacks had completely failed.

"How about this, you hand over your two friends there and I'll kill you fast, a quick shot of my air will puncture right through you, you won't feel a thing. So how about it hm?" Zaku said with a smirk. Sakura got into a fighting stance, choosing to not give a verbal response.

"Hm, stupid choice, but this way is much more fun for us, Slicing Sound Wave!" Sakura ran forward then crossed her arms. However instead of slicing right through the young girl, the blasts were stopped completely. Zaku's once arrogant face morphed into one of shock, bordering fear. "What the hell?! Nothing can block that nothing at all!"

Sakura looked up and smiled, her arms were a deep brown almost black. "Well apparently they can't cut through diamond." She said with a smile, truth be told though she didn't have anywhere near mastery over earth spear and in fact her skin wasn't as hard as diamond yet, closer to perhaps tempered steel. She'd be able to block that attack consistently, but if he shot a considerably stronger variant, well she didn't want to test that out.

I'm only going to have a few attacks while using this, it drains my chakra rather quick, I need to make sure to land only at most two hits on each of them. Any more than that and I'll be running low on chakra and the attacks won't be as effective.

She shot forward with blinding speeds, focusing chakra to her leg to give her an increase in take off speed, running straight towards Zaku. Her darkened fist collided with the boy's stomach, launching him away and off the roof. She then turned towards Dosu and ran at him, engaging in a taijutsu match. The mummy like boy opted to dodge her attacks rather than block, her jutsu was deactivated but he knew she'd use it the second she saw an opening. She couldn't seem to land a hit on the boy, every punch and kick she threw the boy dodged, but he hadn't gone on the offense yet. Unfortunately she didn't know Dosu's ability with sound control from his gauntlet, and soon her vision doubled. Dosu saw her eyes quickly dart to the left and right, he smiled under his wrappings and threw a punch, catching the pink haired girl right in the jaw. As her body turned though, she grabbed the hand he had punched with and turned more, pulling the boy with her. She caught her footing and continued the initial turn until she threw him right into the last remaining team member, sending both teens off the edge of the building, joining their other teammate.

Sakura jumped down, throwing kunai at the trio, who were still gathering their bearings, during her descent. The kunai were to separate the group, which they did, and once she landed she dashed towards Kin who only had time to put her arms up in a measly defense that the pinks haired kunoichi broke through easily using earth spear, the attack completely shattering Kins right arm as that had been the one to take the full force. She then changed direction and went after Dosu as Zaku was still on the ground recovering from the blow.

She and the boy again engaged in a fierce taijutsu match, the boy again dodging the attacks. She was more aiming to hit his gauntlet than him as she had not wanted to got through a repeat of the effects from the tool. The lashed out with a low kick that was a feint as instead of completing the kick she placed it down and pulled her body forward, extending her reach and slammed her fist into the gauntlet. Unfortunately she hadn't been a hundred percent sure that the attack would hit but she still cracked the device nonetheless.

"Argh my arm, you bitch I'm going to enjoy killing you." Dosu said with a rage that was unusual for him. He struck forward but he had not meant for the attack to actually make contact, she had leaned her and his arm came parallel with her ear. She quickly activated the jutsu on that area of her head to hopefully lessen the damage caused, which somewhat worked. She saw double again and went off balance slightly but it was nothing the young kunoichi couldn't handle. Fine I can't accurately hit him then I'll go for a wide area attack. She leaped back then dashed forward and jumped into the air, planning on landing with an axe kick that would have create a decent sized crater had Zaku not used his wind to soften the ground so much that she instead sunk her leg down to her thigh in the soft ground.

Zaku was having a lot of trouble standing up, in fact he was positive that the punch had broken some ribs and possibly ruptured some organs so all he could do at that point was shoot his air into the ground as he couldn't move all to well. But even doing that was enough as Sakura was struggling to pull her leg out. By this time Kin had recovered and threw two senbon that landed behind Sakura. The two senbon had bells attached to them that gently jingled in the breeze. The sound hit Sakura and her arms almost gave out as the world tripled.

"Good job Kin, time to finish this." Dosu said as he flicked his gauntlet and watched as Sakura's eyes widened as his technique hit her and she fell backwards. Dosu walked over to Zaku and helped him up "Alright finish her Zaku." Dosu said, sounding very pleased that they'd be able to carry out their mission now. Sakura had managed to get back on her elbows after she had lost her breakfast, the sounds giving incredible vertigo. She could see Zaku raise his arm and activated earth spear on as much of her body as possible before the wind hit her, sending her through a building.

"There's no way she survived that, now hurry up and go kill those kids I-he then leaned over and spat out blood-fuck I need to be healed-he spat up a much larger glob of blood-that stupid bitch" Zaku said, his breathing and talking becoming more labored with each word.

Before the trio could take another step they felt fear. Fear like they had never felt before as a roar rang out. An evil, demonic, monstrous roar rang out and shook them to their core and then a red blur landed in front of them and stood up, looking at the trio. They saw a blonde haired teen with blood red eyes. His pupils were now horizontal slits, his whisker like marks had grown and became darker. His lips gained a black outline and his canines had grown longer and sharper. But the most noticeable change was the red shroud surrounding him, with three tails swaying behind him. The chakra that was rolling off of the blond haired teen was even more oppressive than Orochimaru's, causing the trio to almost shake with fear.

His tail shot out behind him, wrapping around his teammate and bringing her forward. The chakra spurred her awake and she gasped when she saw Naruto. Sakura had various gashes all over her body, with a large concentration of them on her stomach. There was blood coming from her ears and her cheek was swollen slightly. Overall she looked like close to death. Covered in blood, visibly weak and pale. Naruto felt his rage grow and a nub of a 4th tail began to grow

Moments Earlier: Naruto's psyche

"Hurry up furball I don't know how much time has passed I need to make sure my friends are ok!"

Silence you insolent worm I am not doing this for you I am doing this to ensure I don't become a slave now stay quiet damn it

"Alright alright don't hurt yourself big guy." Naruto said with a snicker as the Kyuubi was slamming into the gate with much more force than before. Definitely going to need tousan to look at the seal afterwards, he's pumping quite a bit of his chakra into me. Can't be good for the seal I don't want him to be able to exert any more influence on me than he already has.

He looked into the water and saw the seal fall away faster and faster, ink trailing down his body. With one last mighty slam the seal broke. Naruto shouted in pain it he felt like his neck had just been branded as the seal popped off. The quick burst of pain was enough to drop him to his knee as he shouted. "Fuck that hurt, anyways time to leave, I know I know you did this for yourself but thank you Kyuubi."

Naruto wait

"Eh what's up?"

The Kyuubi smiled and let out a roar then, with much more force than before, smashed into the seal, causing it to visibly bend forward. His chakra shot out and immediately consumed Naruto who screamed in pain as the chakra wrapped around him. His eyes shot open and the chakra engulfed him. His mind went blank for an instant as all he felt was burning, he was faintly aware of a sound coming from his throat that sounded like the Kyuubi's demonic roar. His body moved on it's own at first and he was over the building landing on the floor. He saw the sound trio and saw the trail of carved earth. He knew who was at the end of that trail, seeing her in that shape caused him to feel rage even greater than when he saw Sasuke fall. He wanted to tear these guys apart limb by limb.

Kill them Naruto, destroy them, coat the streets with their blood. Do it. Look at what they've done to your friend. She's half dead. She's going to die Naruto. Because of them. Kill them. Kill them. KILL THEM NARUTO

His tails shoot forward and impaled them, going through their stomachs, slowly cooking them from the inside out. He lifted his tails, raising the trio causing them to scream even louder in pain. Their throats sounded as if their throats were being ripped to shreds. Relish that sound Naruto, take joy in that power you feel now, that you were able to make those who've done your friend harm suffer.

He put them back down, withdrew his tail from their stomachs, then engulfed their heads. They screamed then his tails turned rapidly. When his tails let go of their heads the trio fell on their stomachs, however their faces were looking towards the sky. The Jinchuriki had turned their heads in a complete 180. Hahaha yes good Naruto good. He faintly heard an "oh Kami." But it seemed far away. All the boy could focus on was the pain and rage, that was until he felt another chakra almost as evil as his own. He looked up to the roof and saw purple swirls of chakra then his best friend jumped down, covered in glowing red markings that soon turned black but the swirls of chakra remained.

He's fallen to Orochimaru, end him he is a threat to you now.

The boy is a demon Sasuke, use your new power and end him, he's not human look at what he did to the others. Kill him Sasuke.

The boys looked at each other and ran toward one another with speeds impossible to keep track of and engaged in a ferocious taijutsu match, each boy lost to the demons in their heads

Elsewhere

For once Shikamaru was not having a troublesome day. His team had found the other team that had the same tag, a group of genin from Kumo and team 10 easily defeated the Kumo-nin without breaking a sweat. The Lazy genius trapped one while Ino started a fight between the other two then Choji dropped all of them with his human Boulder. Now all that was left was to find the golem.

Well unfortunately for the Nara, having a non-troublesome day was not possible in their line of work. The oppressive chakra hit them like a truck, causing them all to immediately stop dead in their tracks.

"W-what is that?" Ino said, her voice wavering

"Don't you guys remember?" Both Ino and Chouji shook their heads no.

"Remember when Hokage-sama was gaining control of the Kyuubi's chakra? It felt like this, but not as oppressive and evil."

"It's obviously not Hokage-sama, oh Kami we need to go check it out Shikamaru, Naruto-kun is in trouble!"

"Yeah Shikamaru, this can't be good, something bad is happening over there." Choji said, worry etched into his features.

"Troublesome, fine let's go"

The trio took off much faster than before, the chakra becoming more and more vile with each step. They landed on the rooftop of one of the few remaining buildings, the sight shocking them. Below them Naruto and Sasuke were fighting fiercely, moving at incredible speeds and causing massive amounts of destructions.

"Lightning Gun!"

"Wind Cannon!"

A giant bolt of lightning shot from Sasuke's hand. Naruto put his hands in front of himself and thrust them forward, launching a large distortion in the air that ripped apart everything that it passed. The two techniques met and the Lightning bolt dissipated but the wall of wind continued, just barely missing Sasuke.

"Lightning Blast!" A continuous stream of lightning shot from the raven haired boy's hand, some bolts went stray, tearing through whatever they made contact with and turning the dirt ground to glass. Naruto took a large breath but instead of wind coming out, flames shot out continuously, the boy was breathing and inferno. The Justus collided and seemed to be evenly matched for a moment. Then Naruto's flames began to overpower the lightning.

"We need to stop this now they'll kill each other! Where's Sakura?" Ino yelled while frantically searching for her rival. It didn't take her long to locate the girl who was sitting against a building, attempting to pull herself up.

"Ino wait!" Shikamaru shouted but Ino still jumped down and ran towards the downed girl.

"H-hey forehead." Ino said with forced cheerfulness as tears began to form at the sight of her once best friend.

"Ino y-you guys need to get out of h-here." The girl said, each word causing her pain.

"We need to get you out of here first, then we'll focus on stopping those two, everything will be ok though." Ino said as she leaned down and wrapped an arm around Sakura as the pink haired girl put her arm around Ino's neck. Ino stood back up, bringing Sakura with her.

"Choji go watch over them, I'm going to stop Naruto, once I do I need you to try and stop Sasuke alright?"

"Alright be careful Shika."

The two boys took off in opposite directions. Choji landed next to the girls and Shikamaru landed behind Naruto. "Shadow possession jutsu!" His shadow stretched out and connected with Naruto's. At the same moment Choji arm and hand grew to large sizes and he wrapped his hand around Sasuke, leaving only the boys head popping out.

"Sakura is there any chakra suppression seals!? I can't hold him much longer!" As it was the boy was already beginning to stretch as Naruto struggled to move. Let go of ME! Naruto yelled.

"Oh crap he's strong I can't hold him much longer either, we need to knock them out!" Choji said. "ENOUGH LET GO OF ME!" And with that Sasuke broke Choji's hold on him, forcing the boy's hand opened. "Time to end this." The boy began performing seals, the purple chakra began swirling violently. Lightning began crackling around him.

"SASUKE DON'T" Sakura yelled. The jutsu didn't launch but lightning was still crackling around him. "Sasuke please stop-she didn't know where her strength was coming from but she began walking to the boy- This isn't you, we're your friends, please stop-by now she was just outside of the area where lightning was crackling, if she took another step she would surely be caught by a stray bolt-stop the jutsu Sasuke please-the jutsu deactivated, she walked over to him and wrapped her arms around him, his back still facing him-please Sasuke enough this isn't you, fight this we're your friends" the seals receded and Sasuke felt all his strength leave him, both teens collapsed to their knees, Sakura still holding onto him, her tears were falling freely now. "S-Sakura, th-thank you." He said faintly.

"NO!" Shikamaru shouted as Naruto gave a short bark-like roar that sent a shockwave out, releasing the jutsu in the process. Naruto dashed at the two now on all fours Sakura closed her eyes and held Sasuke close, there was nothing anyone could do to stop him.

"NARUTO" the boy was inches away from hitting the two, his chakra claw outstretched, when he heard the voice, stopping him dead in his tracks. He slowly turned his head and saw a girl with mint green hair and orange eyes who had a similar red cloak surrounding her, with two wings coming out of her back. The girl jumped down and walked over to him. Everyone just watched in stunned silenced as she put her hand on him, and leaned in whispering in his ear. After a few moments their cloaks deactivated at the same time, Fuu caught Naruto before he hit the ground, he fell unconscious the second the cloak fell.

Shikamaru was the first to find his voice "W-who are you and how did you do that?"

"Fuu, me and Naruto met in Suna, and as for what I did, well you all saw what I am, we're the same and he isn't the first Jinchuriki to lose control and he won't be the last, I just told him what he needed to hear to fight back for control." Fuu sprouted wings once more but before she could take off with the boy Sakura yelled "Wait! Where are you going?"

"What, after all that I'm taking him away, I'd assume you all hate him now or are at least afraid of him" she said with a cold voice

This comment made everyone who was still conscious confused "why would any of us hate or be scared of him? You said he lost control yeah it was scary but that was the Kyuubi not Naruto, we don't blame him for that. And you just save all of our lives, in my book that makes us very good friends" Sakura said with a warm smile, with everyone else nodding in agreement

"He was telling the truth." Fuu said to herself in shock. "Thank you, we need to get out of here everyone in this city probably felt the Kyuubi chakra and there are plenty of teams that are just wiping out others to lessen the competition."

"Alright you can carry Naruto, Choji can you carry Sakura and me and Ino can carry Sasuke."

"Yeah I can carry her" Choji then got on his knees, allowing Sakura to get on his back. Shikamaru and Ino caught Sasuke before he hit the ground, they each had an arm around him and they put his arms around their necks. Fuu wrapped her arms under Naruto's arms and sprouted wings, since she had more control her chakra was radiating off in waves and didn't give off an oppressive feeling miles away.

They all ran until dusk fell and then made camp for the night. They were getting close to the center so the area was littered with Golems, forcing them to backtrack some so they wouldn't be near the creatures. That was not a fight they were willing to take, especially with two people unconscious again and the one person having no chakra and injured. Thankfully none of the injuries were serious.

"Why aren't you with your team and why did you come to Naruto?" Ino asked curiously.

"My team already finished, we had just finished off our golem when I felt the Kyuubi's chakra, my other team members continued forward but I flew towards the source as fast as I can go, I already knew it was the Kyuubi's chakra when I first felt it so I knew Naruto-kun was in trouble. As to why I came to him well he's my friend and I knew he needed help."

While Ino was very appreciative towards the girl who saved their lives, this did not mean that she didn't feel jealousy towards the girl when she called Naruto Naruto-kun.

"So how did you two meet again? Like exactly?"

"That's enough Ino, troublesome woman."

"Will you be quiet Shikamaru?"

"It's late, we need to start look outs while the others sleep, I'll go first then Choji then Ino so if I were you I'd get some rest." The lazy Nara said as he looked outside and saw jutsu being flung out in the distance, far away from where they were now.
