CHAPTER 7


Konoha

Forest of death


Mitarashi anko stood in front of 78 genin and started to explain the 2nd exam " Alright you little shit's, it's time for the 2nd exam. We will give each team a scroll. There are two scrolls. The scroll of earth and the scroll of heaven. To pass this exam you must defeat another team and take there scroll. If you do not have one of each scroll you fail. Once you get both scrolls you have to get to the tower in the center of the forest of death. You have a time limit of five days. Alright guys this is a survival test. I expect that at least one of you will probably die. With that said come get your scrolls."

Out of the 78 Gennin participating in this exam only one wasn't freaking out. " Hay crazy lady you don't scare me. I kick ass in this exam." Our favorite blond screamed

" Oh really" Anko through a kunai witch flew by his head scratching his cheek. She then reappeared behind him and licked his cut " Umm"

Naruto just stood there enjoying the situation , Anko raised an eyebrow 'He likes what I'm doing interesting'.

Ino and Temari though were different 'Get the hell of my Naru-chan' as they glared at her

Then the grass nin with large tongue returned to kunai to Anko , she threatened him to don''t stuck behind there never,

Naruto raised an eyebrow 'What is doing Orochimaru here' (yes NARUTO IS COOL AND NOTICED THE FAKE)

"Alright , let's get this started" yelled Anko


20 min later

Team 7 had received the heaven scroll and just entered the forest of death . Their were jumping tree from tree .

"Alright I want you to listen me well , I don't told this to anyone , only the Hokage , the sannins and Itachi knows" said Naruto , they nodded "I want you to act like this conversation never happened" another nod.

"Okay…" said our blond as he explained the things regarding the invasion , the sand and Orochimaru involvement , they both jaws dropped about this "Don't tell anyone it's important" they both nodded

"Now the dangerous thing , remember Kabuto?" asked Naruto , they nodded "Well he's spy from Orochimaru , he smelled like snakes and knew something that nearly no one should know , you'll have to act like nothing happened" they nodded but Shikamaru interrupted "Naruto the guy with the big tongue , there was something weird about him" , Ino looked at Shika in surprise.

Naruto smirked "Smart as always , you see he's the same guy that used a disguise to do the Uchiha massacre" they both eyes widened "Yep , Orochimaru is here and I don't know what he wants , if he fight us , I want you two to keep distance from me , just try to support me if you saw it clear if not , don't interfere in the fight" , they argued a little but they understood


After 3 hours they stopped to rest , they began to talk about some strategies , then a suddenly a powerful blast of wind send them flying in different directions.

Shikamaru and Ino stopped in a clearing "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT" yelled Ino , then Shikamaru saw a huge snake coming to them , he grabbed Ino a jumped to dodge the blow.

Ino gasped at the snake , "Ino we have to defeat the snake , I think Naruto is with Orochimaru" , now Ino got scared 'Hold on Naru-chan' though the blonde.


With Naruto

Naruto got up to just dodge a kunai that was throw towards him , then he looked around and saw the grass nin looked him with an smirk.

"Hello" said the man , then Naruto acted like he was surprise "Orochimaru what are you doing here? Don't tell me they took the sannin title from you and got demoted to Genin"

Then Orochimaru vanished and appeared in front of him "Watch you mouth brat" as he kicked him in the ribs , but Naruto puffed in a smoke 'Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Doppelganger Technique)' then he turned around when he heard "Katon: Housenka no Jutsu (Fire Release: Mythical Fire Flower Technique)" as small fireballs rushing towards him , he dodge them rather easily , Naruto jumped from the tree and looked at him.

Naruto suddenly activate his fully matured sharingan that make Orochimaru smile 'fully matured like I wanted' thought (OMG THAT SOUNDED EMO). Then Naruto made a cross seal and yelled "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Doppelganger Technique) and then clones appeared rushing to Orochimaru .

While the snake sannin was having trouble with the clones because of the sharingan the real Naruto behind them , make hand seals and said while slamming his hands on the ground "Moku Bunshin no Jutsu (Wood Doppelganger Technique)"


Meanwhile with Ino and Shikamaru

The two were dodging the snake blows and rushes , they tried to hit the snake but without making damage , kunais and shuriken were ineffective too , then Shikamaru looked at Ino "Ino I have a plan" as he began to tell.


With Naruto

Orochimaru had killed all the clones except one , he went to deliver went he fell that someone grabbed his legs , he looked down to see two arms made of wood grabbing him then he heard "A hug" the clone jumped on his arms , and smirked while "Bunshin Daibakuha (Clone Great Explosion)" , ' shit ' though the sannin , then there was a huge explosion .

Naruto waste no time and make hand seals while saying "Katon: Karyu Endan (Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet)" as a fire dragon sprout from his mouth to hit where Orochimaru was , he continued to make hand seals "Futon: Daitoppa (Wind Release: Great Breakthrough)" this time , then the fire dragon crashed along with the blows of wind making a more bigger explosion of fire.


With Ino and Shika

They keep dodging the snake according to the plan , they jumped together and Shika said "Now Ino" then the two began to make hand seals and said "Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu (Fire Release: Grand Fireball Technique)" from Ino and "Futon: Renkudan (Wind Release: Drilling Air Bullet)" from Shika , then the fireball and the air bullet combined in a more powerfull fireball that hit the snake in the head , when the fire and smoke disappeared , the snake laid dead on the floor.

"We did it" exclaimed Ino then they saw explosions "Ino let's go there it's probably Naruto" replied Shikamaru , as they rushed there.


With Naruto

Naruto stood there watching as the smoke vanished then he saw the real Orochimaru burned , bruised and bloodied looking at him pissed .

Ino and Shikamaru just arrived and saw the state that Naruto and Orochimaru was an jaws dropped.


Meanwhile outside the forest of death

Anko relaxed with a sigh as she took another bite of the stick of dango. For some reason, the taste of her favorite food had increased by twenty percent during the exams. While normally she would've wondered what could account for this, but she determined it had to do with the thoughts of all the Genin probably engaging each other in mortal combat.

She took the final bite of dango, and tossed the empty stick into a nearby tree. Said tree, was now decorated by what must've been almost thirty or forty sticks. All of them were arranged into the Konoha leaf symbol. She took the final sip of her bean soup, and tossed the cup into a nearby trash can, and hopped to her feet.

"Guess I'll head for the tower… The actually talented squads ought to be able to clear the test in under a day's time." she said to herself.

No sooner had those words left her mouth, did a cloud of smoke appear behind her. The woman turned around to see a Chuunin with glasses and a hitai-ate tied on top of his head like a bandana. He looked worried about something, causing the woman to sigh in disgust.

"What's with the look?" Anko asked.

"Terrible news, Anko!" the Chuunin replied.

"Already? What the hell could the problem be this soon?"

"We've found dead bodies! Three of them!"

"Dead bodies?"

"Yes! Please, it's easier to show! Come quickly!"

Anko followed the Chuunin as he requested. He ended up leading her to a small graveyard located in the outer parts of Konoha. Two other Chuunin were already there, examining the dead bodies that the one with glasses informed Anko about.

"Here they are…" the Chuunin told her. Anko walked over for a closer look. "We went through some of their personal belongings, were able to determine that they were from Kusagakure, here to take part in the Chuunin Exams. The weird thing about them though, was that their faces were gone, almost as if they had been melted off. The skin is smooth, like they never even had them to begin with."

Anko's eyes widened as the words of the Chuunin came together in her mind.

"You… What the hell are you doing here?" she thought. Her head jerked back and looked at the Chuunin. "Quick, show me the pictures from their I.D. cards!" The Chuunin produced them at once and handed them to Anko. She gasped in horror as she saw them. "SHIT!"

"What is it?!" the Chuunin asked in confusion.

"Just go get Hokage-sama. Tell him about what you found, and that he sends two ANBU into the Forest of Death!" Anko ordered. "I'm going ahead to catch the imposters!"

The Chuunin nodded and left Anko to do as told. Said woman jumped the fence into the forest, and began jumping from tree to tree. Her heart was racing in fear, anticipation, and anger.


With Naruto

"Your good Naruto-kun , it seems I choose well" said Orochimaru then he make a hand seal and said "Kanashibari no Jutsu (Temporary Paralysis Technique)" that froze Naruto making incapable to move then sannin smirked as he rushed to him.

Kyuuby was watching the battle and suddenly make pumped demon chakra to Naruto body.

Naruto sensed that and thank him the Kyuuby , then when Orochimaru was about to reach him , he quickly made a Rasengan with his hand 'the brat knows Rasengan?' but it was too late , the sannin watched as Naruto slammed the Rasengan on his stomach making him flying far away , but he was a sannin none less , Orochimaru extended his arm and said "Seneitajashu (Hidden Shadow Many Snakes Hand)" as snakes appeared rushing to Naruto , our blond was exhausted , the snakes bitted him and slammed him to a tree.

"You did well Naruto-kun but the entertainment ends here" said Orochimaru , then his neck enlarged and his face rushed towards him . Naruto saw this and made hand seals slammed and bitted by the snakes and said "Katon: Ryuka no Jutsu (Fire Release - Dragon Fire Technique)" then a spread of fire rushed from his mouth to the snakes towards the Orochimaru .

Orochimaru head arrived at Naruto a bitted him on the neck , Naruto screamed in pain but the fire arrived at Orochimaru arm burning it , Orochimaru face contracted on pain and retracted his neck .

Naruto fall on his knees grabbing his neck and screaming in pain , there was a cursed seal of heaven like the ones that he gave to Sasuke on his neck , Ino and Shikamaru rushed to him .

"You bastard what did you do to him" yelled Ino "Oh I just gave him a cursed seal , he could live or die , he will be in a lot of pains for a while" replied Orochimaru , then he bring out a earth scroll and throw it to them "That's a gift for wounded me" , then he disappeared .

"Ino , Shikamaru , I'm losing conscious , you must grab me and we should hide for a while" then he fell knocked down on Ino arms , she hugged him , placed on his back , and left.


Hours later

Mitarashi Anko cursed under breath as she leapt through the forest. It was already dusk, and there had still been no sign of her target.

"I have to find that teme and soon!" Anko said aloud as she traveled. "The darker it gets, the worse this whole mess will get. But why did you choose to show up now? What are you after?!"

She chuckled and shook her head as she leapt tree to tree. The only sound she made with each leap being her own breath.

"It doesn't really matter…" she went on. "If it really is you, then we'll end this here and now. This has been coming for sometime now… Years even… And I will be the one to kill you, even if it kills me."

She jumped to another branch, stopping to catch her breath. Anko rested a palm against the bark of the tree, and began to look around, slowly closing her eyes.

"After all, it's my duty… My life's mission! It's what I learned from my greatest sensei ever… What I learned from you…" Anko finished. A smile graced her lips as she looked back at a face appearing in the tree. "Isn't it, Orochimaru?"

"Anko-chan" said Orochimaru , as he grabbed his burned arm

Anko raised an eyebrow , he saw the state of Orochimaru , bruises , blood and burns over all the body , his arm was burned up and he have a circular bloody wound on his stomach

"You look like shit , I must congratulate the one who did" snorted Anko "Naruto-kun strong I hope he survives" , 'The kyuuby kid did this , holy shit' though Anko.

"What have you done to him" yelled Anko , "Oh I gave him a gift like you" replied the sannin making Anko eyes widened "Yep I gave him the cursed seal" said Orochimaru "You bastard" yelled the woman.

"Sorry Anko-chan as you see he did a good number on me , until we meet again , as he disappeared "SHIT" yelled as she rushed to the tower.


Later

Team 7 with Ino carrying Naruto hide themselves in a cave , they laid Naruto on the floor . Ino put a wed towel in Naruto forehead , she saw that he was in pain then he noticed red chakra around the seal on his neck.

"Shikamaru is that?" asked Ino , Shikamaru nodded "That's the Kyuuby chakra perhaps he's helping him , let's wait to see that happens".


Inside Naruto mind

Naruto was in front of the cage were Kyuuby was .

"Sorry Kyuuby I couldn't kill him" said Naruto

"Hey kit , he's a sannin , if he got serious you would have died probably but you wound him pretty badly"

"What about the seal he put me on the neck?" asked Naruto

"That's a cursed seal , he would mess with chakra , and trouble your judgements but don't worry I'm getting rid of it , I will take time but it will vanish" replied the fox

"Thank you Kyuuby" said Naruto then the fox replied "Now get rest and sleep"


Later

Anko arrived at the tower , he went to the room where the jounins where , inside there was some two chunnins , the two sannins , the Hokage , and the jounins Itachi , Kakashi and Kurenai , Mitoko was there as well , she wanted to see the fights there were discussing that some teams arrived already like the ones from the sand.

Then they saw Anko painting "Anko who was the intruder" asked the Hokage . "I was Orochimaru Hokage-sama" they all gasped "You saw him"asked the old man.

Anko nodded "It seems he fought Naruto" , now nearly all panicked "he have burns and bruises over all his body , his left arm was all burned and he have a bloody circular wound on his stomach" finished the woman

"That's a rasengan wound" said Tsunade , then Kakashi and Anko said "He knows Rasengan?" she nodded making them stare in awe

"Did he told you anything?" asked Jiraiya , Anko nodded "He said he gave Naruto a cursed seal" , then Tsunade punched a wall making it disappeared , Mitoko as well as Itachi were pissed.

Quote : they all know already about Kabuto


Later at the cave

Ino and Shikamaru were taking care of Naruto , then they saw the red chakra fade , they look over the neck and the cursed seal was no where

Then Ino smiled "It seems Kyuuby get rid of the seal" , Shikamaru smiled and nodded , then Naruto groaned and opened his eyes "Woah what a ride" said , then Ino hugged him hard "I was so worried Naru-chan , I'm sorry we didn't arrive sooner , we have to fight a huge snake" .

"Kyuuby got rid of the seal isn't" asked Shikamaru , Naruto nodded , "do you have any bandages?" asked the blond then Ino pulled some "You have no wounds why do you need it?" asked the woman.

"I want you to put them over the cursed seal was , Orochimaru doesn't know that I can get rid of the seal" explained Naruto "Troublesome but clever" replied Shikamaru with an smirk.

"He gave us the scroll isn't?" asked Naruto , they nodded "Let's go to the tower then"
