Naruto Fanfic: The Temporal Stormcaller
Chapter 9: The Isles of Doom!
2 weeks before the chunin exams…
"so the chunin exams are going to be held in Uzushio?"
"Yes my lord so what do we do about the plan of destroying konoha?"
"It seems it can wait. We will destroy uzushio instead and kill Sensei and that old fool Daisuke. I will surely give Sasuke the curse seal in the second part of the exams. What about Suna?"
"It seems that Suna will play by Uzushio and Konoha and turn on us. So what will we do Orochimarru-sama?"
"well young Naruto is the son of that idiotic yondaime. Go and call the Tsuchikage and Raikage." Orochimaru ordered.
"Yes my lord."
Back to the present
"Isles of doom…?"
"I really don't like that name."
"I am sure Sasuke-kun can make this round easily."
"Hn."
"Now may I have all of your attention please?" Naruto asked with his chakra amplified voice. "In this part of the exams each team will be given one scroll, either a mind scroll or body scroll. You pass when you get both of them and deliver them to the last island in which there is a tower. Now let me tell you about the geography. The Isles of Doom has 9 islands all joined by bridges 35 meter wide so you can battle it out in the bridges as well. Oh don't even bother water walking. The whirlpools will suck you in and drown you. The volcanoes are also dormant so they erupt any time. The animals you will find there are all chakra enhanced animals and there plants that you can find to eat since you will be taying inside there for 10 days and-"
"10 DAYS?" Ino cried
"Yes Ino ten days. It's a survival exercise after all. So even if you get the scrolls you need to get to the tower on the ninth island on time. Oh yes this is also a test of your trust. Under no circumstances are you allowed to read the scroll. Is that understood?"
After seeing the nods of heads Naruto continued. "For your safety we will have a squad of three H.U.R.R.I.C.A.N.E after you all so good luck. Go to the counter and get your scrolls"
After they did that Naruto opened the gates for the second part of the exams to start. Naruto was sitting down relaxing when his assistant Maein Jishaku came and called him. "Naruto-sama I have something you may want to see."
Naruto intrigued followed him and found three bodies laying on the ground. He recognized them immediately. "Weren't these the participants from Kusagakure?"
"Yes sir their faces have been ripped of. There is only one person in the entire elemental nations who could do this." Maein replied.
"Orochimaru." Naruto said taking in a breath.
"Yes." Maein confirmed.
"Very well then. We must know why he is infiltrating the exams. Bring the 3rd squad of ANBU and the 5th squad of H.U.R.R.I.C.A.N.E right now. I am going to intercept Orochimaru. Also send this intel to Uzukage-sama." Naruto ordered. They nodded and left.
Naruto summoned Draco and ordered him to fly into the Isles of Doom. Draco and Naruto on his back flew through the isles to find the vile chakra of Orochimaru. It proved to be a hard task. He wasn't given the moniker Sanin for nothing it seemed.
"Draco you sense anything?"
"Nope. It seems he is quite good in suppressing his chakra."
"Fine lets just-"
"BOOM!"
"What the hell was that?" Naruto exclaimed.
"Naruto! I found him. He's in the fourth island with Sasuke, Sakura and Sai!"
"What the hell is he doing with them? Let's go Draco!"
"Yup boss!"
Draco flew down to the fourth island where he found a she-male attacking a unconscious Sakura, and barely standing Sai and Sasuke. Naruto landed behind them and Sasuke exclaimed "Dope!"
"Well there goes the elment of surprise." Naruto thought.
The she-male turned around and smiled. "Well Naruto-kun it seems your guards found the corpses."
"Yes they did Orochimaru."
…..
"So you found out who I am? Impressive Naruto-kun."
"Orochimaru?! What's a S-rank missing ninja doing here?" Asked a quite scared Sai.
"I think Sasuke Uchiha is the answer to that question is it not Orochimaru?" Naruto asks.
"Why yes! But before we go towards that topic why don't we have a…..friendly spar eh Naruto-kun?" Orochimaru cackled.
"Very well." Naruto said. As soon as he said that Draco swooped down and sent a wave of fire at Orochimaru. Orochimaru used a earth technique to go underground. Naruto smirked. He told Sai and Sasuke to take Sakura and go to the treetops. After they did so Naruto flew into some hand signs and said "Lightning Style: Decapitating Laightning wave!" Then he slammed his hand on the ground electrifying it. A slight scream of agony was heard then and Orochimaru came out panting.
Orochimaru flew into some hand signs and said "Wind style: Unrivalled winds!" A huge expulsion of wind came thereafter towards Naruto who used his sword to strike at the ground and use the broken bits of the earth as a shield. Naruto then slipped into a stance with his sword as Orochimaru brought out Kusanagi.
"You forced me to bring this out it seems. Too bad if not for the kyuubi I would take over your body and use your body as my host instead." Orochimaru chuckled.
Naruto didn't reply as he ran forward and engaged Orochimaru in a kenjutsu spar. When blades clashed Naruto Naruto's golden chakra seemed to come out at rapid paces until they converged at his blade. "Heavenly Sword Art: Ethereal Blade!" Naruto slashed the sword at his opponent who dodged the attack but received a slight injury in his arms. Naruto then suddenly threw his sword into the air and threw some familiar tri-pronged kunais at Orochimaru. The kunais surrounded the field. Before Orochimaru could react team 7 and he only saw a yellow flash before a cold metallic surface of a kunai was being pressed into the throat of Orochimaru.
Orochimaru grimaced in pain. He would have to retreat right now. On the outside he chuckled before saying "Well Naruto-kun it seems sparring with you has been fun. We'll fight another day but not now."
He's neck extended as he bit into Sasuke's neck who screamed out in pain. Naruto looked to see Orochimaru gone. Just then HURRICANE and ANBU arrived. Naruto looked and saw that team 7 already had both the mind and body scrolls. Naruto sighed and ordered "Take them to the tower. They have both scrolls so they pass though barely. ANBU search the village immediately for any signs of spies and double agents."
"YES SIR!"
With that team 7 and the two divisions of Anbu disappeared. Naruto and Draco looked at each other before both disappearing in a poof of smoke.
…..
In the tower 10 days later….
Kakashi had given the evil sealing on Sasuke. Sasuke and team 7 was now recovering quite well. After the tenth day they were called down to meet the Uzukage and jonin Commander Naruto and the rest of the passed teams.
All three rookies from Konoha and Rock lee's team from Konoha had passed. A team from Suna, a team from Kumo, a team from Iwa, A team from Taki, a team from Kusa and a team from Hoshi(hidden star) had passed.
Only 10 teams out 50 teams had passed. Meaning out 150 genin only 30 passed.
Naruto then addressed. "First of all I would like to congratulate all of you for passing the second phase of the chunin exams. I would also like to congratulate all of you for not dying considering out of the 120 failed genins 65 of them died…."
Naruto smirked when he heard a lot of gulps.
"Well anyway we here to fix the matchups of the finals of the chunin exams where it will be a one on one tournament. Even if you win the tournament you may not be chosen as Chunin and even if you lose your match you may be chosen as Chunin should you show good enough skills.

…..
It had been few days since the second test and Hinata had come upto Naruto and asked "Naruto-kun can i…. I train with you?"
Naruto was taken aback by the question before asking "And why may I ask Hinata-chan?"
Hinata blushed at the given suffix at her name before replying "Neji-niisan has long had a grudge against the main family of the Hyuugas for sacrificing his dad to save mine. I want to help him out of that shell by knocking him out of that shell." Hinata replied with stuttering.
Naruto simply smiled and said "Good answer."
Naruto moved forward and touched hinata and Teleported to one of the training grounds.
"Alright Hinata-chan I know about the hyuugas Juuken so I am going to ask how good are you in it?" Naruto inquired.
"Umm I…I am average but…..but I don't know why but but I have some difficulties in…in it." Hinata replied.
Naruto thought for some time before taking out a paper. "Hinata-chan this here is chakra paper. When you send your chakra in here you can find your chakra element. Once do it please."
Hinata nodded and sent her chakra into the sheet of paper. Immediately it started to get soggy and wet and sfter somewhile it slowly crinkled up as well.
"Well that confirmed why you have difficulties in the Juuken. You see Hinata the Juuken was made for Earth Style users which most of your clan is attuned with. But your elements are Water and Lightning. One which is weak against Earth and one that is stronger than Earth."
Hinata nodded her head and asked "But…..but Naruto-kun how….how can I get better…..better then? My clan will…..willl be furious if I…I learn ninjutsu other than…than that of the ninja arts or…or use another taijutsu style."
"True but some emergency ninjutsu is needed just in case. Here lets go do some elemental manipulation." Naruto said.
A week later
"Well you got the the leaf wetting and leaf wrinkling exercise down. Now I am going to give you some basic jutsus for your elements. A hyuuga using ninjutsu should surprise any ninja. So use that to your advantage." Naruto explained. "Here this scroll contains the jutsus for Water Style: Water Whip and Water Style: Water Torrent. This scroll here has Lightning Style: Lightning whip and Lightning style: Thundershock. You can also use the lightning and water whip in conjunction to help you."
Hinata nodded and started to practice. With Naruto's supervision Hinata got the two C-rank and two B-rank jutsus down in another week.
:Now Hinata-chan this is where we start the real training. We will now modify the Juuken." Naruto said shocking Hinata
"Modifying…..the Juuken?" Hinata asked in shock.
"Yes. You will use your Water release and Lightning release in conjunction with your taijutsu. That should make your progress go higher and faster and easier."
Hinata nodded and with Naruto she got into work. She irst started with only one element. Water release and her taijutsu proved to be instrumental as the flowing water and Juuken actually complimented each other. With the water she could lash out with her Juuken. Then she started with her Lightning release Juuken. With it she could shock her opponents by a mere gentle touch sending lightning waves to her enemy. She could also surround lightning around her to act as a defence. Finally she combined the two. Both of the two complimented each other and then she was ready. She named the new taijutsu the Flowing Gentle Fist. It worked in conjunction with the byakugan, Juuken, Water release and Lightning Release.
After two weeks of starting the taijutsu exercise.
"Well Hinata-chan you have improved much in this month. See you tomorrow in the finals and good luck!" Naruto exclaimed happy for Hinata's improvement.
Hinata was happy. Now she was very happy! She nodded her head vigorously and they said their goodbyes and she left for a good nights sleep before the big day tomorrow….
