Naruto looked left and right, wondering where the heck his teammates where. He jumped forward, using a huge burst of speed, leaving a team who had been previously stalking him way, way behind.

He felt a sense of foreboding.

'Kyuubi?' He asked mentally, and felt the giant beast of destruction inside him shift around.

'Yes, kit?' the nine tales asked.

Naruto looked around in unease. 'I sense something, but I can't really tell what it is. Can you check for me?' he asked.

'Yeah, sure. Move over.' the fox answered, taking control of Naruto's body, as easy as moving to the driving seat of a car. Blue eyes changed to red, and Naruto's body took an animalistic appearance. The ruby eyes scanned the area and Kyuubi's nose took in all the scents around him.

His eyes widened. 'KIT!'

'What?' Naruto's voice asked.

'I smell a giant snake!' With that, Kyuubi retreated into Naruto's mind like a wuss. Naruto jumped into the air, narrowly missing the near fatal strike of the just-mentioned snake. It crashed into a tree, hissing angrily.

'Kyuubi!' Naruto cried.

'Snake Man...Bad Things...Bad Things...' Kyuubi rambled, rocking back and forth, sucking his thumb.

Naruto threw a few kunai around the snake's eyes. 'Kyuubi, I thought you said you were over the snake incident!' Naruto, while mentally talking to kyuubi, didn't notice the snake opening it's mouth. A second later, he found himself in the belly of the beast...literally.

'Holy fudge!' He cried.

'SNAKES AR EVIL!!' Kyuubi was screaming.

'SHUT THE (hooplah) UP!' Naruto was screaming.

'yum!' The snake was thinking.

Naruto looked around, hands on his ears. "For the love of all that is holy, SHUT THE HELL UP!" He bellowed, making Kage Bunshin fill the snake, making it explode, and making the Kyuubi shut up.

Naruto stood up, squeezing the blood and guts out of his hair, and brushed it off his clothes. He blew out slowly. 'There we go..,'

'Kit...' Kyuubi said, shocked.

'Yeah?' Naruto asked, starting to run again. '...Are you sure you're not a girl? It's like you have PMS...'

'Heheh, I'm sure.'

Naruto headed toward another place that smelled of snake. Jumping down a branch, he gaped at what he saw. Sasuke and Sakura were shaking, and holding out their Heaven scroll to a strange snake man.

'THE SNAKE MAN!!' Kyuubi shrieked.

Naruto jumped forward, and grabbed the scroll before the snake man could get his hands on it. Sasuke looked up and growled.

"Naruto! He's way too strong for us!" He cried. Naruto put the scroll in one of his hidden pockets.

"Oh, and you think giving him the scroll is going to help us any? He'll just kill us after!" Naruto shouted. The snake man laughed.

"kukukuku... you have a smart friend, Sasuke-kun." The Snake man, who Naruto was pretty sure was Orochimaru, purred. Naruto looked between Orochimaru and Sasuke in shock.

'Did he-'

'Yes he did' Kyuubi said. 'He did say Sasuke-kun.'

Orochimaru was currently staring at Sasuke, his abnormally long tongue licking his lips.

'...ewww...' Nearly everyone in the vicinity thought. Orochimaru jumped forward, toward Sasuke.

"Oh no you don't!" Naruto cried, and raised his hands, preforming seals.

"Wind Style: Slashing technique!" He called, and moved his hands, clawing at Orochimaru's direction. A blade of wind shot toward the snake man, and he jumped out of the way, only to have to dodge again as another shot forward. Orochimaru continued playing around for a bit, but soon he tired of the genin's feeble attempts to hurt him. He jumped forward suddenly, appearing in front of Naruto, and kicked him to the other side of the tree.

Orochimaru started making seals, and placed his hand on the floor, after smearing a bit of his blood on his tattoo. A ginourmous snake appeared in front of Naruto. He swallowed, moving slowly, as to not make himself appear too much of a target to the snake.

The serpent looked at it's master for a moment, then nodded, as if receiving a non-existant command. It returned it's gaze to Naruto, and shot forward.

Naruto cursed; this snake was much bigger and faster than the one he had encountered earlier, and he had trouble missing it's strikes. He heard Sakura scream something, and turned quickly to see Sakura and Sasuke both working against the snake sannin. He grinned, but the grin soon disappeared, when the snake's tail came for him from the right. He jumped, to miss the strike, but the snake, who was obviously smarter than the other one too, swung his tail up to meet him.

"AHH!" he cried, as his back violently met the bottom of a tree branch. Everything seemed to slow down. He heard Sakura screaming his name as she punched the snake in the face with all her might, making it disappear, Sasuke gasping as he saw Naruto in the air, and Orochimaru's laughter.
