Dark Ninja 10:

Danger in the Forest: Orochimaru attacks.


Team Dark and all the other squads were taken to the forest, when Anko stated rather boldly "Welcome to the second exam simply titled The Forest of Death. Your objective is simple, you each have a scroll, a heaven and a an Earth scroll, all you have to do is get the scroll, and make it back to the tower within Three Days. If you can't, go home, we'll fish your bodies out later."

Shadow nodded slightly, as Rouge was handed an Earth Scroll. Shadow than turned as he was the gentlemen who sat next to him during the first part, eyeing Sasuke. He walked to Omega and said "Omega, you've upgraded your scanners right?"

The machine nodded "Upgraded to scan chakra levels incase we are battling an unknown enemy, does Shadow want to scan someone in particular?"

"Yes" Shadow said nodding "Can you scan the guy who's creeply staring at Sasuke?"

The machine turned the scanners on and started to report the information. "Warning, apon further scanning, I have detected that the man staring at Sasuke, is wearing a disquise, the man could possibly be the infamous S-Rank criminal Orochimaru"

Shadow looked at him "Who? Omega, report on him"

Omega stated "According to Konaha Records, Orochimaru is a powerful criminal, who fled Konaha to avoid arrest for insane experiments. He is one othe legendary Sanin, with a power of unimaginable levels. However, there is a slight possiblity that the scanner could not be used to scanning for chakra, so this unit could be wrong"

Rouge walked up to them, "Okay so we have to find someone with the heaven scroll when they let us in" She looked at her two friends "Something happened?"

Shadow stated "Omega might have found something, if so...be on guard." He than looked back at the gate about to open "So...the white one?" Rouge nodded "Lets go"

The three ran into the forest, and imidiatly jumped over a kunai from some nameless ninja. Shadow jumped up and kicked one in the face. Rouge, flew up and tossed the other to the forest floor below, and Omega punched one in the face, causing them to drop the heaven scroll. Omega picked it up "Scroll capture complete, targeting location of the tower, location comfermed, 400 meter to the south."

Shadow than stopped "Omega scan the area for Squad 7"

Omega did what he was told, as Rouge looked at Shadow "What are you thinking about Shadow?"

Shadow responded "Well, two things, one they could be in trouble with a dangerous criminal, two...since we're finished already, it would be smart of them to form a temporary alliance with us"

Rouge was about to say something, when Omega said "Squad 7 detected." Omega turned "200 meters west." Shadow nodded, and started Omega and Rouge following him. Omega said "Scanning for signs of Orochimaru...scan comfermed...also 200 meters west."

Shadow growled "This speed is pointless, lets hurry" the rest of Team Dark, did what they were told and increased their speed heading to Squad 7

Meanwhile, Squad 7's situation couldn't possibly be worse, one their scroll is gone, eaten by Orochimaru, who was looking at a frightened Sasuke, with a beaten Naruto wrapped in some vines. Orochimaru smiled, and extended his neck like a snake, biting Sasuke like a vampire with Sakura only able to look on in horror. The second his head came back he chuckled, than was interupted by a firm kick to the face.

Shadow backflipped on the tree branch, and looked at Orochimaru who was dazed from the shot. He looked at Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke. Than back at Omega and Rouge. "Rouge, help Sakura get Naruto and Sasuke out of here. Omega, go with them for protection."

Rouge than looked at Shadow "Shadow, this is no time to..."

"Just do it!" Shadow barked coldly "I'll keep him distracted...and for god sakes, what EVER you do...DON"T DIE ON ME"

Omega stated "It is impossible to argue with Shadow when he is like this..suggesting we listen to him."

Rouge, looked at Sakura, and flew to her. "Okay Shadow, just...be careful allright?"

Shadow just stood there as Orochimaru got up. "How dare you hit me? Its pointless anyways...Sasuke will come to me eventually...in search of power. As for you, you disgusting rodent, I'm afraid your insolence will not be tolerated."

Shadow stood camly "For one thing, I'm not a rat...I'm a hedgehog, and the Ultimate Lifeform. Another thing, you have no idea what you are up against pal"

Orochimaru stated coldy, as a sword came from his mouth into his hand. "Well than hedgehog, I am Orochimaru, the REAL ultimate lifeform"

Shadow stood his ground. "Thats where your wrong, " He tossed a emerald in the air, and vanished in a green light going for another kick, but was quicky brought down by small snakes wrapping around his leg tossing him to the ground. Shadow got up quickly but Orochimaru swung his blade. Shadow moved to the left, and his hand glowed yellow trying to place a chaos spear into his opponent, but Orochimaru just used his blade to reflect it to another direction. Shadow used this opertunity to surprise Orochimaru with a punch to the face.

Orochimaru rebounded quickly, as his blade glowed in the light. It was sent flying at Shadow, who kicked it down with his foot, not without getting cut on his leg ofcourse. Shadow still stood tall, and said quietly "I underestimated your abilites just a tad." he reached at his wrists "However...I will not, do that again." The braclets fell to branch he stood on,as he picked them up, and chucked them in the direction his friends were going.

He than, jumped, his body having a yellow aura spewing out of him, as he punched Orochimaru through several trees. He was than behind him in a flash, and punched him in the stomach, causing the Sanin to cough up blood. He than kept punching and kicking until Orochimaru was sent through more trees. His stanima fading, Shadow stumbled, but his body glowed red. Orochimaru came from the trees, as Shadow said "CHAOS..." When Orochimaru was right next to him he finished "BLAST!"

Unlike the time with Zabuza, this blast was MASSIVE creating a large orb that destroyed the part of the forest they were at. Shadow stood on the broken tree, and looked at his opponent. He rose laughing the whole way. "I see, I am guilty of the same mistake you were, underestimate." His neck extened,and before Shadow could react, Orochimaru bit his neck the same way he did Sasuke. However, Shadow grabbed his neck after words. "I HAVE HAD..." He flung him through a dead tree "ENOUGH OF YOU!"

Shadow wobbled, as he was caught by a concerned Rouge, who saw Shadow's Chaos Blast, Rouge saw something on Shadow's neck, but decided it was wiser to get out of there. Orochimaru laughed "Well...he certainly...is powerful...I'll have two...for the price of one"
