Naruto the Fullmetal Fox Alchemist
Chapter 10: Exams and Plots
I do not own both genres and I am disappointed with one where the hero complete moron and not realizing the Uchiha is not worth his life.
It has been a week since the murders at Kumo and Team Alchemy's team was enjoying their week off. While the team was enjoying their time off, Naruto was trying to make an important decision, should she allow her team to take the Chūnin exams. While Naruto never took the exams due to getting several field promotions, she did help Anko proctor the exams. She knew how dangerous the exams could be and she was not sure they are ready for this. Especially since many of the teams there will most likely go after her team specifically.
Eventually an impatient fox interrupted Naruto thoughts, "So Naru, are you going send your team to the Chūnin exams?"
"I don't know but I have five minutes to decide," Naruto admitted.
"My advice is to let them. They need to spread their wings," the Ed pointed out.
"Perhaps your right," Naruto stated as she open the door and walk to her team to tell them what she plan.
"You think I should send them to the exams?" Naruto asked quietly.
"I think so, it is a good learning experience," Anko said with a cheeky smile. "Besides, we can't be the only team left out. I heard even Kurenai is going to send her team."
"Plus, what could they possibly face in the exams that are worst then what they already face?" Hana points out for Naruto and help make Naruto's decision.
She then looked around and saw several Jōnin including Might Guy, Kurenai, Asuma, Inferno and the only two Chūnin Iruka and Kakashi with the later because he was a Jōnin.
"Order," the Hokage ordered. "As you all know, the Chūnin exams are coming around and we need to know who are attending. I have already had here a list of several Jōnin, including Guy, who have nominated their teams but now I ask the Jōnin with rookie teams to step forward and tell if he or she will allow their team to participate to step forward."
Naruto looked to her team before stepping, "I Naruto Uzumaki-Eric, right hand woman of the Hokage here by nominate Hinata Hyūga, Shino Aburame and Tukiko Uchiha to participate in the Chūnin exams."
After Naruto nominated her team, Inferno step forward to nominate his team, "I nominate Night Wolf, son of Wolf Dreamer, Bastila Roth, and Revan Roth for the Chūnin exams."
"I also nominate Ino Yamanaka, Chōji Akimichi and Shikamaru Nara for the exams," Asuma stated.
However, before Kurenai could nominate her team, Kakashi step up, "I nominate Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno and Sai for the Chūnin exams."
"Kakashi what the hell are you doing?" the Hokage yelled.
"You can't nominate them, Sakura is on Kurenai's team, Sai return to Danzō's services and Sasuke is under house arrest," Anko explained and all the Jōnin were on edge by the tension Kakashi was giving.
"Besides, you are not even a Jōnin anymore," Hana pointed out.
"Sasuke shouldn't be arrested, and I shouldn't been demoted," Kakashi stated while growing.
"Oh quiet, you and the brat got off lightly," Naruto stated.
"Shut Up!" Kakashi yelled. "You are the reason I was-"
"I am not responsible for every bad thing that happens to you," Naruto interrupted Kakashi. "In fact nearly every bad thing that has happen to you is because of your own actions and your superiors catching you in the act or your sempai reported on you. But then again, it is always the weak minded fools that blame everything on someone else."
"Take that back," Kakashi yelled.
"Why, should I?" Naruto asked and Kakashi answer was tackling Naruto out the window.
All the Jōnin and fox, who fell off Naruto, rushed to see the two freefalling out of the tower. While freefalling Naruto started punching Kakashi to let him go before kicking Kakashi in air while she propelled to the wall. Once she reached the wall, she attaches herself to the wall and use alchemy to create a huge hand to catch Kakashi before he fell to his death. However, it did not prevent Kakashi from landing on his back. Down below, many ninjas including a Sand team and Team Alchemy watched the events.
Naruto then stared down at Kakashi to ask, "Kakashi, what the hell are you doing? Don't you realize that you just throw away your career?"
"Shut up you demon bitch," Kakashi grunted as he got up. "I make you regret for ruining my life."
Kakashi used 'Shadow Shuriken Justus,' to create fifty Shuriken at Naruto. Naruto counter with alchemy to create a rock wall to catch the shuriken. Kakashi then tried to run up the wall but slip into the hand. Kakashi then remember that the walls have special seals to make them slippery. He also remembers Naruto is a seal master and the seals were on the bottom of her shoes help her run up or down the rock wall. The same shoes that meet his face; Kakashi thought process temporarily stop.
Naruto being piss off, began punching and striking Kakashi with ferocity. She only stopped when Kakashi fell off the hand. Naruto jump and followed him. As the two falls, Kakashi pulled out his Sharingan, and Naruto counter with a 'Chakra Flare Jutsu.' The flare blinded him and gave him great pain due to the Sharingan. While Kakashi scream in pain, Naruto used 'Wind Style: Great Breakthrough Jutsu,' to have Kakashi crashed into the ground, stomach first while slowing her own decent down.
So now, the village audience can now see Naruto standing over Kakashi as he slowly crawled up from the crater. Everyone watched as Kakashi looked up at Naruto with so much hatred while Naruto return with a disappointed look. "Surrender Kakashi and the Hokage will be liniment in your punishment," Naruto reasoned.
"Never," Kakashi stated.
"Be reasonable Kakashi," Naruto pleaded but hope he said no. Unfortunately, she got the one thing she did not want to hear.
"Never, you demon whore," Kakashi yelled out his death sentence.
"Very well," Naruto said while drawing onto the ground a new alchemy circle. "Never is a very long time and I hope you spend an eternity in pain."
Naruto then activate the seal and the alchemistic slowly encase Kakashi into stone, centimeter by centimeter. He slowly reaches his hand out to reveal his Sharingan eye. He then tries to grab Naruto before he completely turns into stone. Naruto wipe his hands off before she looked at the crowd and said coldly, "I am no whore."
Naruto then turned to see her team and a familiar team, which made her change her mood quickly, "Good to see you guys, you save me for looking for you three. Congratulations Team Alchemy, you people has been nominated for the Chūnin exams. I will give you forms later today. Also, it is good to see you too Gaara, Temari and make up boy that screams like a girl. Sorry I cannot chat, but I will probably be chewed out for turning Hatake into a statue. Good day."
Naruto then walked back into the tower as the two teams looked at each other. "Remind, me to never piss off Naru-sensei," Tukiko told her teammates who nodded their heads before leaving to 'the Swamp.'
While Team Alchemy left the scene, Temari looked at her teammates. "You know, I finally understand why people say weird things only happen in Konoha."
Gaara, then looked at the statue to state, "She makes beautiful art."
"Oh, Gaara has a crush," Temari cooed, forgetting the fact she has a partial crush on the same girl, though it was more admirations then love.
The makeup boy named Kankurō, paled before muttering, "Great, now the psychopaths will mate each other to create new psychopaths that will torture me."
It was not Kankurō's day, especially when Temari decided to explain the bird and the bees to Gaara when he asked, "What is a crush?"
At the tower, the Hokage sighed before muttering, "What am I going to do with Kakashi?" He then turn to the stupefy Jōnins to ask, "You were about to say Kurenai?"
Kurenai was brought to reality to answer the Hokage, "Um yes sir. I Kurenai Yūhi like to nominate Kiba Inuzuka, Ami Rika and Sakura Haruno."
"Good, now, you are all dismiss but I like you to leave suggestions to what to do with Kakashi," the Hokage order the Jōnin.
"You mean you are going to leave Kakashi like that?" a random Jōnin asked.
"Why shouldn't I?" The Hokage asked. "If I turn him back to normal, he would be executed for defy my orders, attacking and attempting to kill a superior officer, and treason."
All the Jōnin shut up the Hokage's explanation as they slowly left the room. Once everyone beside Ed was gone, Naruto enter the room and sit in front of the Hokage. She then looked him in the eye to say, "I don't care how badly I will be chewed out or how bad the punishment will be. It will still be worth it."
Ed laughs because he and the Hokage thought the exact same thing, though the Hokage could not laugh and had to dish out punishment. He got a devious smile, "Alright, for the exact amount of time it takes the Chūnin exams to be complete: you will help me fill out my paper work, without Shadow Clones."
Naruto eyes widen and Ed kept on laughing when Naruto yelled out, "Nooooooooooo!"
Break
Several hours later in the dead of night, a silver haired boy was waiting in the shadows. The moon light reflecting of his glasses as he adjusted them to reveal eyes as black as his dark soul. The boy was waiting until he heard his master. "Kabuto," his master hiss, "report."
"Lord Orochimaru," The boy stated calmly. "I am surprise to see you here. I thought you send a subordinate to come due to the invasion being called off."
"Yes, well the invasion maybe off due to that girls inferences. With Rice Country outside my influence now, exposing me in Suna, and even scaring Rock forces so badly that the screams when they hear her name. Of course, they have a right to be afraid and she is a deadly predator," a hooded Orochimaru hissed in announce before he started to smirk. "That does not mean I will be devoid of my Uchiha prize and maybe a few other tricks that Naruto have up her sleeve. So tell me, have the council made any head way to getting the Uchiha out of the house."
"No and after today, I doubt they would even try," Kabuto stated.
"What happen?" Orochimaru asked.
"Kakashi, the Uchiha's biggest supporter, snapped and attacked Naruto in front of the Hokage," Kabuto reported while he adjusted his glasses and smirk. "After a few choice words, he pissed Naruto off so bad that she turned him into a living statue. I believe he will be put in a park as a symbol on how even the mightiest can fall to insecurity or insanity."
"How disappointing," Orochimaru remarked while pulling out a scroll. "Oh well, my ally have came up with seals that will allow me to meet Sasuke."
"So you will you be able to take Sasuke?" Kabuto asked.
"No, the girl's seals that are keeping Sasuke in his house are too complex to break now for the regular price and her new price is too steep for me," Orochimaru had stated as he and Kabuto walked to the Uchiha estates. "However, these seals will allow me to enter with Naruto being none the wiser while weakening the seals to eventually break easily."
"You plan to mark him tonight?" a surprise Kabuto asked.
"Why yes, and he will accept it willing."
Break
In the dark room sat the emo boy known as Sasuke. He looked in the dark nothingness, completing how he will kill his brother and put that bitch in her place. The same bitch that has locked him up here and has everyone turned against him, the hope of the Uchiha clan. He yelled in frustration he throw kunai at a promotion poster with a young Naruto on it.
"My, my, what a temper you have," a strange hissing voice commented.
Sasuke then began turn around violently, trying to find the voice. "Whose there, show yourself."
"Very well," the voice hiss before a pale skin figure reveal himself with yellow eyes that belong to the devil reveal.
"Who are you?" Sasuke asked.
"My name is Orochimaru and I bring a gift to you," Orochimaru hissed.
"What kind of gift?" Sasuke asked out of curiosity.
"That gift that will help you kill Itachi and defeat the girl that put you here," Orochimaru indicated the room, while pointing at the picture of Naruto.
"Give it to me," Sasuke demanded.
"Very well," Orochimaru chuckle before he extended his neck and bite into Sasuke.
Sasuke let out a glass-breaking scream before his curse seal start to form and be active. His entire body began to be cover by black swirls that produce a purple energy over the standard blue. He began to laugh insanely until the power recede.
Sasuke then began to curse, "No, no. Why is my power leaving me?"
"Naruto's seals," Orochimaru answered Sasuke. "They are very impressive. They are able to hold any chakra as long as they are active." Orochimaru smirked while pulling out a seal. "Do not worry young Uchiha. This seal will slowly remove the chakra suppressor seal and allow you to escape in five months to me."
Sasuke gladly accepted the seal, thinking all he would do once he escapes the village. He did not realize that the curse seal would be the ones to weaken Naruto's seals. The other seals instead allow Orochimaru a back door into the soul. If he dies, Orochimaru will be reborn in his new body and no one will be able to stop him.
Break
It was morning and the Genin of Team Alchemy was walking into the academy that was hosting the first part of Genin exams. They were all nervous, to say the least. Naruto did not let them go until they understand the dangers. To say they were scared was underestimated, for they were told the test had a death rate of one out four since other villages use this test to eliminate enemy ninjas. It also drives some of the weak willed insane. However, one lesson they were taught was determination and they will not stand down now.
So now, they found themselves in the exam room waiting for the exams to begin. They looked around to scope the competition. That was when a rookie spotted them. "Well, well, well, if it isn't the most famous team in the exams," boasted a kid that resemble a dog.
"Kiba you idiot," his two female teammates yelled before bashing his head.
The first one was a changed Sakura who now wore a reddish pink battle dress and had short pink hair. Next to her is Ami, who was now wearing a dress of warping similar to her teacher Kurenai. Ami also grew out purple her master and her eyes glowed, brownish green eyes instead of red like Kurenai.
"Kiba, you are so troublesome," a newcomer named Shikamaru told Kiba.
"Hey, where are Sasuke and the new boy Sai?" Chōji asked.
"Chōji didn't you hear?" Bastila asked and Chōji replied with a headshake of no.
"Sasuke was reprimanded for various crimes, kicked out of the ninja forces and was sentence to house arrest," Revan replied for the group.
"Oh, so that is why Ino was depressed," Chōji said before going back to his food while Ino remain quiet.
"You okay Ino?" Sakura asked her childhood friend. To find her crush being reprimanded and punish by someone you look up to do some soul searching.
"I will be. I still need some time," Ino stated as she doesn't blame Naruto, but now wonder what to do now since the thing. She was not sure about what being a ninja is all about with her crush gone.
"I would suggest that you don't get boggle down with your emotions, unless you want to make yourself a target," a silver haired boy with glass suggested to the teams.
"Who are you?" Night Wolf asked the boy.
"My name is Kabuto, a member of team 16 and a contestant of the exams," Kabuto explained.
"You are no rookie member are you?" Tukiko asked.
"Nope this is my seventh time," Kabuto answered with a smile and a reply that cause a ding in Team Alchemy's warning bells. There is no way for an active Genin to fail the exams five times without getting a promotion in the exams or on the field, unless they died.
"So you suck," Kiba comment cause Kabuto to twitch.
"Maybe, but it give me much information with fruit," Kabuto explained while pulling out a card. "And with this information, I can tell these exams will be harder than others."
The card had information of the villages with the number showing the number of teams coming. The list showed a number of sixty teams. "We have teams from every nation, from allies like Sand and Cloud to enemies like Rock Forces and even Mist is sending teams after a decade of civil war. And they brought some elites."
"Like who?" Hinata asked despite her and the rest of team replying what Naruto said about nice people.
"People only do nice things for three reasons. One, to make themselves feel good, second for redemption, and finally to get something from someone else. Most of the time, a person does thing for the third reason and rarely go out of their way to be nice. So when someone goes out of his or her way to be nice for apparently no reason. Be suspicious as they are likely trying to paint a picture to point to someone else, hide their own dirty laundry or use you for their scheme. That is a primary rule when gathering evidence while interrogating."
Hinata thoughts are interrupted when Kabuto told the Genin the elites. "From Sand, we have Team Baki with a puppet master name Kankurō, a wind mistress name Temari, who uses her battle fan to blow her opponents away, and last is Gaara, who can manipulate sand and use it to defend himself and crush his opponents. Their record is 3 B-Rank Missions and 30 C-Rank Missions. Another team from Mist, which will remain anonymous, has a member who not only has the Ice Bloodline but also an apprentice of the Demon of the Mist. So we can expect great things from the first team Mist sent to the exams in ten years." Even those who did not know the people as Team Alchemy think they know.
"Of course, our village is sending elites of our own," Kabuto stated. "There is Team nine or Team Guy. With a weapon mistress known as Tenten, a Taijutsu expert name Rock Lee and finally the Hyūga's prodigy Neji Hyūga. Completed 30 C-Rank Missions and a hundred and fifty D-Rank. Of course, they pale in comparison with our own Team Alchemy."
Kabuto smirk when he put Team Alchemy in the spot light. "It seems the team has done two A-ranks, one C-Rank turn A-Rank and a B-Rank Mission. You are also the team most watch in the exams since this is the first time Alchemy has been used in the arena."
Now the voices in their heads are going off big time, especially when Kabuto laid down the cards with the stats that only their respective Kage can look at. Team Alchemy were about to comment and accuse Kabuto to lying, when an explosion and voice rang out. "Quiet you maggots; my name is Ibiki and welcome to hell."
Break
Meanwhile during the exams that tested the Genin intelligence-gathering while remaining subtle at their desks. Naruto and company were talking too one of their village's guests: Zabuza Momochi.
"So we arrive in Kiri during its final battle with rebels pushing the loyalist back. So I get the bright idea to sneak behind the enemy forces while Haku goes and tell the leader of the rebellion what I was doing. Anyway, just as I was beginning my signature scare, the fifty loyalist forces went screaming (snicker), 'It's the Demon of the Bloody Mist,' and ran out of area and meet their fellow men. They also panic and ran to the rebel forces and surrender to them so the Demon of the Bloody Mist doesn't kill them and eat their flesh and soul ha-ha-ha-ha." By then Zabuza, Team Alchemy and anyone listening in were laughing at the ridiculous notion.
"Apparently Yagura used me as propaganda to keep his subordinates further in line by creating this fairy tale that I am a demon who haunts Water Countries dreamed and tried to snatch victims to make them disloyal to him, use them and eventually kill them in ways I mention before." Zabuza comment with a snicker, "So Mai, decide to dress all the rebels in outfits similar to mine to scare the loyalist and also do comparison to see if the men fits the clothing." The girls groaned while the men smirk and Zabuza continue his story.
"Anyway, are forces spread out and scared most into submission while killing those truly loyal to Yagura by targeting those not scared. Eventual the village was clear and all that was left was Yagura. So Mei and I handle the fight. The fight was long with Yagura crushing several building while he was in the three-tail form. Eventually we wore him out and Mei vaporized him with her lava bloodline. So in the end, the tyrant dead, Mei became the new Mizukage and I became head of the ANBU and kept the idiots who were small fire but still loyal to Yagura in line." Zabuza finish the story with a grin and the other Jōnin were impressed.
"So brat, anything interesting happened after you guys left Wave?" Zabuza asked.
"Yeah," Naruto said reluctantly. "We played a game of wits with the serial killer name the Questioning Doc in Kumo."
"Oh, I heard of him," Zabuza commented. "He makes me look like a normal person and I killed off my academy class to pass a test."
"What is worst is that he escapes again and had someone exploded in front of my Genin," Naruto stated with a bit of anger.
"Man, you sure know how to keep busy," Zabuza had commented.
It was then that a scared up Ibiki walked into the room and towards Naruto. He then stands up to begin to announce who had past or who had failed. Out of sixty teams, only eighteen past and said with pride. After he announce that last teams that past, he hand Naruto the three test papers from her Genin. "What is this?" Naruto asked.
"Your Genin left a message," Ibiki simply stated.
Naruto raised an eyebrow before looking over the message on the back. The two girls put down simple observations: he is too nice, gave out information that is not available for a Genin to see and finally how he had not been promoted even after seven tries in the exams. However, what really scared them is Shino commented that his insects smelt light snake musk off Kabuto.
Naruto gave a message to Ibiki to give to the Hokage. Naruto, Anko and Hana ran to the Forest of Death. She will not let her Genin come to harm by the snake bastard.
Sorry for the delay, I have been busy since finales began. By the way, have a Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
Author Notes
A) Check out previous chapters, I been fixing them up again and fix a few more grammar mistakes.
1) I wanted Kakashi and Naruto's fight to be different from EroSlacker's story and figure unplanned fight with Kakashi snapping at Naruto would fit the bill.
2) Yes, there is no invasion because Orochimaru does not have the numbers to attack Konoha.
3) I thought it would be funny to have Ami act like Kurenai.
4) Before people complain, from my experience, those three reasons are the main reason people are nice. I have meet no one or seen no one do a good deed and work so hard unless is for the same reasons.
5) People of Kiri = People of North Korea
