Yo! Say hi to my first ever Naruto/Fullmetal Alchemist crossover! Just to clarify, this story starts a few years after the FMA manga ending. Also, like most of my stories, this has some Sakura bashing in it.

Enjoy!

Also, during Team Elric's confrontation with Kankuro, Kakashi was meant to say 'cousin', not 'nephew'. My bad.

Disclaimer: I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist or Naruto.

And... begin! The Sins of the Shinobi: Chapter 10!

Ed, Al, and Winry stared down the group of four people, all of whom had a headband with a weird spiral-like symbol on it.

"Who are you supposed to be?" Al asked.

The leader, a man with blond hair and blue eyes, grinned. "I'm Minato Namikaze, Jonin of Konohagakure, and those three are my teammates. We're here at Suna's request to explore the Juubi's Fall ravine."

Ed frowned in confusion. "Jonin? Konohagakure? What are those?"

Minato looked at Ed, then at the ravine behind him, then back at Ed, and shock registered on his face. "You three... are from beyond the Desert's End?"

Al snickered. "So many names for a hole in the ground."

Ed nodded slowly. "Yeah, we're from the other side of that thing."

Minato and his teammates exchanged glances. "Amazing." The man finally exclaimed. "Sandaime-sama will want to hear all about what it's like there."

Sarutobi looked up from his paperwork as Minato's team and Ed's group walked in. "Ah, Minato. I heard that your mission was relatively successful."

Minato nodded. "Yes, Hokage-sama. After careful exploration and analysis of the Juubi's Fall, we have concluded that it is, in fact, a giant and devoid of life hole in the ground."

Sarutobi sighed. "I expected as much." His gaze turned to the Elrics. "And who are they?"

Minato perked up at that. "Hokage-sama, these are travelers from the other side of Juubi's Fall. We ran into them right after they crossed it."

Sarutobi stood up in astonishment. "Really. Oh, I must hear more about this!"

Sarutobi tapped his pen on his stack of papers. "Interesting. Both alchemy and this 'auto-mail' would prove to be a major help to Konoha's forces. Tell me, Elrics, how would you like to live in the village and join our Shinobi ranks?"

Ed looked at Al and Winry. "Guys, what do you think? Personally, I think it'll be interesting."

Al nodded. "It definitely will let us learn more about this land."

Winry nodded as well. "And there's no way I'm letting you guys do something crazy again. Without me, that is."

Ed turned to the Hokage. "Alright, we're in."

Sarutobi nodded. "Excellent." He handed them a piece of paper. "Here's the deed to a minor, unused clan compound. That'll be your new home from now on. During the evening council meeting, you'll be formally instated as the Elric clan. Tomorrow I'll personally test you in your fighting abilities to determine your ranks among my forces."

The three bowed and left the office.

"Quiet, you miserable worms!" Ibiki roared, scaring the crap out of everyone. "Right now, for the next hour, I am your God! Your tests are being handed out to you as I speak. There are ten questions on this test and each one is worth one point. If you are caught cheating, you lose two points. Therefore, if you're caught cheating five times, you fail the test. Oh, and this is a team test, so when you fail, your teammates automatically fail as well. Any questions?"

A nameless Genin spoke up. "This sheet only has nine questions."

Ibiki smirked. "The last question will be given to you ten minutes before time is up. The assistants I have around the room will be watching you from every direction, so if you cheat, they'll find out."

Ibiki looked at his watch. "And... begin!"

Greed had had enough. He'd figured out the true purpose of the test as soon as Scarface was done explaining, but it seemed that his host was not nearly as smart as he was.

"Dammit, boy." Greed muttered. "I'm taking over. You're an idiot."

Greed looked around the room. He noticed that the Aburame kid had bugs tracing out letters on his paper, Wrath was copying hand motions with his Sharingan, Envy's host's dog was barking, the girl from Pride's team was shifting around mirrors (honestly, how was that unnoticeable?), and Lust was stealing answers from Sakura with the Yamanaka clan jutsu.

"U-um, N-Naruto-kun?" A small voice from beside him asked. "You k-know, you can look a-at my answers if... if it'll h-help." The girl stuttered.

Greed eyed her curiously for a few seconds. He vaguely recognized the girl, (a Hyuuga by the looks of it) from the Academy. She tended to sit in the back of the room, constantly blushing and trying to avoid any attention. Because of that, Greed had no idea what her name was. His host probably did, but...

With one sentence, Greed changed the course of history.

"Who the hell are you?"

Ibiki chuckled as his assistants forced yet another team to leave. He looked around the remaining Genin. "OK, it's time for you all to get the last question. Now, getting this question right will automatically make you pass my test. However, if you choose not to take it, you fail now and have to try again in six months."

Kiba shot up. "Why would we want to not take it then?"

Ibiki smirked. "Because if you choose to take it and you get it wrong... then you fail and will be banned from future exams forever!"

The man gave a sadistic grin. "So, who's feeling lucky?"

Ibiki chuckled under his breath as a few more teams left.Looking around the room, he saw twenty-seven teams remaining. "Alright, I don't think anyone else is leaving. For those of you still here... you all pass!"

Ino jumped up. "What the crap? What just happened?"

Smiling at the Yamanaka's confusion, Ibiki decided to elaborate. "You see, as a Chunin, you'll often have a mission that could very well mean your or your teammates' deaths. Now the question is, if you take the mission and find yourself in a risky situation, do you risk your life for success, or do you retreat and save your life, but at the cost of failure and disgrace?"

No one had the answer to that.

"You should always risk your life, especially if the village safety is at stake." Ibiki roared, ripping his headband off at the same time. A large mass of cuts, burns, and scars was revealed. "The enemy will jump at any chance to capture you if they can. Should you get captured and interrogated, you tell the enemy nothing! The secrets of your villages are more important than your own lives! It's harsh, but that's the truth of the Shinobi world. By risking everything on the tenth question, instead of playing it safe and deciding to try again next time, you all proved that you have what it takes to be Chunin. That's why everyone here passed."

Ibiki re-tied his headband as the Genin cheered. Wait till they get Anko's test. Speaking of which...

A ball of black cloth burst through the window, unfurling itself and flinging kunai into four corners of the room. The stretched banner read "The Sexy and Awesome Anko Mitarashi. Proctor of the Second exam!" A woman in a beige trench coat and purple hair appeared in front of the banner.

She looked around the room. "What the hell, Ibiki?" She demanded. "Are you losing your touch or something? There's like 81 kids left here, man!"

Ibiki sighed. "Maybe there were just good candidates this time."

Anko scoffed. "Whatever. By the time I'm done with them, their numbers will be cut in half!"

"Alright, kiddies, follow me!" She yelled. "To training area 44, and the second stage of the exam!" She commanded, before jumping out the way she came.

The Genin looked at each other in puzzlement, before slowly trailing out of the room.

Alright, kiddies!" Anko announced. "This is Training Ground 44, commonly known as the Forest of Death."

She smirked at the scared and apprehensive looks she was getting. "It's also going to be your home for the next five days."

She laughed as shouts of protest rang out. "Here's what will happen. Each team will get either a Heaven scroll or an Earth scroll. Your job during this exam is to get the scroll you don't have and make it to the tower within the five minutes."

Anko gave a predatory grin. "It's time to let go of delusions and morals, kiddies. Killing is allowed in this exam, and rest assured that while you might not want to kill, others won't hesitate to kill you. It's kill or be killed in there, and I personally prefer kill."

Anko gestured to the tent beside her. "A random scroll will be handed out to you. Like I said, you have five days to acquire the other one. Once you've done that, get to the tower in the center on the forest. The sooner you get done, the more time you have to rest before the third exam."

Anko smirked. "One last warning." The woman's grin stretched to near-impossible length. "Don't die."
