Chapter 10 Flashpoint Encounter with the Royal Suna Trio

Chapter Subtitle: Let the Chunin Exam Begin!

The Emerging Darkness

Disclaimer: Read the previous chapters

Helltanz's notes: I haven't been able to read my reviews for some reason or access my email in general so I don't know what you wrote, sorry. Though I am aware the story has hit 50 reviews.

Though when I originally started placing my fan fiction works Fury was to be my major project as you can tell from its first two chapters being 2474 words shorter than The Emerging Darkness at 9 chapters. However that was how I intended Fury to be written in long chapters and infrequent updates, while this story was to have short chapters and updated rather frequently. Why I just typed that you may be wondering well someone who was gracious enough to review, thought I was going to fast and that I should slow down and write longer chapters. I, until this point had expected people to want the opposite it was very surprising. However this is the style of chapter I use for this story, though length will very by chapter and arc.

This chapter officially introduces Konohamaru-kun and begins the Chunin exams Arc. I will not tolerate anyone bashing Orochimaru-san, he is my favorite Sannin even if he does act like a weirdo, he has many cool techniques, that and I like snakes.

As you should be able to tell from the title we meet the Royal Genin of Suna: Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro.

Also in this story Isonade is sealed inside Kisame, something that is not true in cannon.

Also Naruto's Sounga is very similar to the Tsurgi Ni Yomi Sounga from Inuyasha in abilities and details. However in appearance Naruto's Sounga is in the shape of a regular Katana, it has a tooth white blade. This story's Sounga only transforms weak enemies into minions unless Naruto slices them with a heavily Youki infused strike, Sounga will also attempt to possess any who attempt to wield it unless they are of Kazama or Mishima blood. I'll explain the other differences at a later date. Naruto gains an ally at the end of this arc it may surprise you who it is. Okay, it has been decided Haku's female.

Okay this next part is explains the differences and similarities between Naruto Gaara. Naruto and Gaara were each used to seal a Biju; Naruto replaced his Biju as the Kyubi. Naruto is only cold and heartless to most people, unlike Gaara. Naruto has friends, Sandaime, Kimmimaro, the Konohamaru Corp, Iruka, and a couple others. Naruto will only kill you, assuming you are not his enemy, if A) you really piss him off, or B) you get in his way, or do something stupid, during a dangerous mission. Naruto's Biju isn't insane. Overall Naruto attitude is somewhat of a mix between Gaara, Orochimaru, plus a more human side. Also just so you know Kakashi doesn't like Naruto, he is just real good at hiding it, so even Sandaime doesn't know.

Chapter begins as soon as Team 7 exits Hokage Tower after giving their mission reports.

Naruto stooped down to greet Konohamaru at eye level, who was waiting outside the tower with Udon and Moegi. "So Konohamaru how are your studies?" inquired the Blond Shinobi.

Konohamaru huffed and growled. "It sucks leader not only is my teacher, Ebisu, who supposed to be some elite tutor a loser but he's a closet pervert, I wish gramps would let you teach me all the time, I mean you can kick anyone's ass or Kimmimaro-sempai he's pretty good he second only to you."

Sakura freaks out. "Closet pervert."

Konohamaru looks at the other two Genin "So Naruto-sensei are these two your flunkies the only thing they look good for is going to get take out and cleaning."

Sasuke's eye twitches. "Flunkies! Who are you calling a flunky you little brat!" Sakura yells and chases Konohamaru as he run off calling her various name (flat chest, ugly, etc.) only serving to infuriate the girl more.

Naruto turns to face Sasuke "Go on and head home Uchiha or go play dress up with your fan boys I mean girls or something." Sasuke's eye twitches again as Naruto sets off after Sakura and Konohamaru.

"Ow." Yelped Kankuro before yanking Konohamaru up by his scarf.

"Sorry about that. Ow! Put me down. I said I was sorry." Konohamaru detects Naruto approaching. "You'd better me down or when Naruto gets here he'll kill you."

"Kankuro." Hissed Temari nervously.

"Oh yeah you little brat."

Naruto watches the scene 'Three Suna Genin, wonderful.' Naruto disappears and reappears in a swirl of Iron sand.

Kankuro froze, not literally, as the sand swirled as Konohamaru cheered. Naruto's arrival. A huge wave of killer intent poured off of said blond Shinobi affecting everyone but Konohamaru "Yes, now put Konohamaru down or I will rip out your insides and feed you to my Satetsu while your girlfriend watches." The iron sands around Naruto's feet starts swirling around him ominously.

Kankuro gulps 'This guy is scarier than Gaara.'

Naruto glances at Gaara's hiding spot, the sand shoots off slicing the branch off forcing Gaara to appear. "Kankuro you are an embarrassment to our village if you cause any more scenes I will kill you."

'Shukaku's vessel?' 'Yes' 'Thought so.'

Gaara turns to Naruto giving a low bow causing the other two Suna Genin and Sakura's eyes to widen. "I apologize for his stupidity and his behavior. I am Subaku no Gaara, may I ask your name?"

"I am Kazama Naruto."

After the Suna trio exit Naruto's company.

"Gaara what's going on?" inquires Temari.

"He scares mother." The two Suna Shinobi pale.

Kazama Manor

"Ah welcome back Naruto-sama."

"Hello Kimmimaro-kun how are things."

"The intelligence network reports that Suna and Oto are unusually active they apparently formed some kind of secret alliance according to multiple sources they are going to attack Konoha during the upcoming Chunin exams which you should probably be training some more."

"Your right Kimmimaro though not necessarily for the exam more so for a war. I need you to pass the information on to Hokage Oji-san."

"Hai Naruto-sama."

Both Shinobi vanish in yellow flashes.

Team 7 meeting grounds the Next day

"Ah Naruto Sasuke glad you could make it. I have decided to nominate you three for the Chunin Exams. Here. Fill out these forms." Kakashi removes the application forms from his copy of Icha Icha Paradise before handing them to team 7 and vanishes in a swirl of leaves.

Naruto growls "To think our application were in such deplorable reading material." The blonde Shinobi glares at the other two Genin. "This test will reflect all of us our teacher may be a loser and an idiot but I will accept nothing less than perfection and if you even think of not showing up or embarrassing us in any way I'll hunt you down and use you as fertilizer. Any poor performance will affect the team and the judges of us. You two had better not screw up or I'll-"

"Hunt us down and feed us to your sand." finishes Sasuke rubbing his arm where Naruto had hit him with Satetsu jutsu earlier in the day during their weekly spars for some reason his chakra was having a hard time flowing in that arm.

The Trio arrived at the first exam Sasuke and Naruto were both challenged by Rock Lee who also flirted with Sakura. Sasuke fell to Lee's superior Taijutsu however Maito Guy had arrived before Naruto and Lee could fight. The green beast stating "Naruto-kun's flames of youth burn so immensely bright that he may both be even more hip and cool acting than my eternal rival Kakashi without fear of his flame diminishing." Followed by his signature Good Guy Pose with Beach Sunset Backdrop, before asking something when Naruto answered causing Gai to wail about underestimating the Power of Youth that Naruto had. After this the team made it to the waiting area where the met with the other teams notably Yakushi Kabuto. Said Genin made an unpleasant comment about sound, when one of the sound ninja tried to attack him Naruto intercepted and broke the Oto Genins arm with burst of black chakra causing the Genin to crumble to the floor howling in pain attracting the Proctor Morino Ibiki who inquired as to what happened to which Naruto responded by saying "I merely defended a fellow Shinobi of leaf Ibiki.

The first exam passed without much incident, unless you can count Naruto telling Hinata that 'Don't worry Ibiki is really just a begin softie when you get to know him even if he tends to like his job to much' written in Naruto's ever useful Iron Sand, about 14 teams, 4 of those from Konoha, passed and moved on to the second stage. The proctor unfortunately Naruto recognized as Mitarashi Anko, Kimmimaro had complained many a time about her for various offenses ranging from trying to stealing his lunch, Dango, to sending her snakes at random people and generally being not quite right in the head.

Helltanz's Notes:

And if your wondering I made it so people can have more than one summon depending on their strengths, Kimmimaro as Naruto's apprentice was allowed to sign the Shinigami contract he also has signed a contact with the dragon clans, If anyone's wondering he normally will summon the Azure Dragon Boss, Teng Qing Gong, to help him against powerful enemies, as you may see in later chapters.

Still waiting for suggestion for Kyubi's name or any of the other Biju for that matter.

Also I have decided that this will probably be a no pairing fic for Naruto unless I can figure a way to work it in. Naruto however will be friends with Hinata; she will still have the crush. Don't yell at me for this I used to really enjoy Naruto Hinata until most of them became so annoyingly cliché.
