ON WITH THE SHOW
Forest of Death pt 2...
Naruto had found a giant hollowed out tree and had Nero and Hinata put at the far back of the tree.
'It'll at least give them some protection from the elements,' Naruto thought, as he checked them over for anything that might have caused them to pass out. Nero just passed out from energy depletion from using his 'Devil Trigger' as his family put it. Hinata however was more dismal she had a combination of chakra exhaustion and her angel blood was kicking in, meaning she was maturing into a half-angel.
Flashback...
Hinata had been in bed for six days now with a mysterious pain in her back, Naruto wondering what it was decided to ask War.
"She's maturing into a half-angel," War answered, looking as Hinata rolled around cringing pain whenever she rolled on her back.
"But why none of her parents are angels," Naruto asked, sure Naruto experienced the occasional headache but he knew it was from him bonding with the Kyubi.
"The Hyuga Byakugan is a dojutusu that was made from the Angel blood that flows through their veins," War explained, "sometime a very long time ago, an Angel must have mated with a human and through a mixture of incest and the unholy ground on which they built the Hyuga clan compound, the Angel blood became dormant it was when you got her away to consecrated ground that the Angel blood became awakened."
"But this house isn't on consecrated ground," Naruto exclaimed, having checked and rechecked the entire Uzumaki compound seven times. War shook his head and lead Naruto to the library and pulled a book from the shelf, opening to a secret passage which led to a hidden monastery.
Flashback end...
'If she goes through it quick she should be up and about in five minutes,' Naruto thought, as Nero began to stir. After a minute of groaning Nero got into a sitting position and began looking around. It was then Nero's eyes went wide and he reached for his sword, it took Naruto about six minutes to get Nero calm enough to form a coherent thought.
"Pale...snake-like guy...peeled his face off," Nero breathed out , Naruto looked confused for a moment then it hit him like a ton of bricks.
"You mean the grass-nin that we saw earlier," Naruto asked, Nero nodded. It was then Naruto heard one of the traps his traps go off followed by a "Damn it." Naruto turned in the direction of the noise and saw a giant tiger with saber like fangs, white fur with the alternating black strips, and green cat-like eye. Naruto was about to go kill it when it got out of the trap, walked over to Hinata, and curled around her protectively.
"That's strange," Naruto said, before he sat at the entrance to the hollowed tree and kept watch. Not even two minutes later a group of grass genin landed at the opposite end of the clearing grinning evilly.
"Looks like we caught some mice scurrying around in the forest," The leader of the genin said, getting a chuckle from the other two. However what the group was not expecting was the tiger, that had sensed a danger to it's new partner, to awaken and let out a roar that shook the very earth beneath their feet. Before the grass-nin had anytime to recover the tiger pounced and began tearing the three man squad apart until the only left of them was a 'Heaven' scroll and their weapons, which Naruto and Nero quickly took. When the carnage was over the tiger began to walk back over to Hinata, before Naruto stepped in it's way.
"Move human," the tiger growled at Naruto, who was shocked beyond belief.
"Who are you," Naruto demanded, drawing Jigoku Kitsune just in case.
"I am Tenikusa, Warrior of the North Wind," the tiger roared with pride which caused Hinata to awaken, her regular Byakugan being replaced with amber colored eyes instead of the full pearl colored ones. When Hinata got up she walked over to Tenikusa and put her hand on his snout, while Tenikusa gently blew on her hand, causing a white light to surround the two. When the light receded Hinata stood in black plate armor with a gold trim and stripe imprints on the shoulders, a helmet in the shape of a tiger's head, two sets of claw like blade coming from the gauntlets, and Tenikusa had a golden saddle on his back.
"You may go noble warrior," Hinata said calmly. The tiger nodded and seemingly vanished into thin air, along with Hinata's armor, the only thing left from that even showed the tiger had been there were the gauntlets on Hinata's forearm. The gauntlets had six inch claws attached to them, gold and black designs going down their length, and a seal of a angel holding a book in one hand and a set of scales in the other. After standing there for two minutes staring at the gauntlets Naruto nodded and headed in the direction of the tower with the rest of his team following close behind.
With the other horsemen...
Death was sitting on top of his horse, Sorrow, sullenly looking at the horizon, Strife was sitting on his horse,Rage, itching to find War and get his secrets, and Fury was sitting on her horse,Wrath, ready to tear Uriel's wings off and shove them down her throat. When they got to the rendezvous point they saw someone, who they thought was man, with unnaturally pale skin, yellow serpent like eyes, and hair as black as the deepest part of Hell.
"Ah your the riders the Charred Council spoke of," the man said chuckling a little, and causing Death to become wary of him.
"What's your name," Death asked, already reaching for Harvester. The stranger just smiled a deceptive smile and waved for them to follow, which they reluctantly did. After thirty minutes of following the stranger they came to clearing filled with tents bearing either a hourglass or a musical note on the sides.
"I am Orochimaru," the stranger said, bowing humbly. When Death heard the name Orochimaru a angry glint came into his eyes and he began to reach for his scythe but stopped and brought his hand back down to his side, the anger never leaving his eyes. Strife and Fury were shocked for as long as they knew Death he never got mad, was never sad, and was never happy, in all honesty he was only ever sullen.
"The Council has told us that you know where War is," Strife said, temporarily taking over the leader potion.
"Ah yes him," Orochimaru said in a contemplating manner, "He is currently within the walls of that city."
Orochimaru pointed to the walls they were encamped outside of and then he went into a explanation about how he planned to invade the city, kill it's leader, help them get War so he could be brought to justice, and take over and make it a central hub for the Charred Council's operations on Earth. To Death it was all complete bullshit but to Strife and Fury it was too good to be true, so they immediately became suspicious.
"When will the invasion take place," Fury asked calmly, and she began edging away from Death who was letting off so much anger she thought he'd go on a rampage.
"In a months time," Orochimaru answered, "Now if you'll excuse me I must finish making plans."
With that Orochimaru walked inside a red tent that bore a musical note on a flag and left the three horsemen outside.
With Team 10...
Team 10 had just made it to the tower with two days to spare and when they walked through the doors the scrolls began to spark and shake. Making a quick decision Naruto unraveled both the scrolls and threw them across the room. Once the two scrolls touched the ground there was a puff of smoke and Iruka appeared with a large smile on his face.
"Hello Team 10," Iruka greeted cheerfully.
"Hello Iruka-sensei," Naruto greeted calmly, like what had just happened hadn't affected him.
"You guys never cease to amaze me," Iruka said, "You're not only one of the first ones here but you seem to have gotten stronger since you've been in Training Ground 44."
Iruka then proceeded to give them the layout of the tower the bedrooms were on the second floor, public showers on the third floor, the cantina was on the fourth floor, the training room was on the fifth floor, and the arena was on the bottom floor. Team 10 nodded and they all went to go take a shower. Naruto had just got done taking his shower and was going to go train with his new weapon when he saw War leaning against the wall.
"Hello War-sensei," Naruto greeted, and began to bow to War when the red rider stopped him.
"Naruto how many times have I told you never bow to me," War reprimended. Naruto looked down in shame until War put his gauntleted hand on his shoulder.
"Come tell me what happened in the Forest of Death," War said and began walking, with Naruto following close behind telling him everything that had happened. When Naruto got to the part about what Cain the Conquerer had said War immediately stopped dead in his tracks.
"What was it he said again," War asked concerned.
"He said 'You can't be the Kyubi no Kitsune'", Naruto restated, noticing the look of curiousity that appeared on War's face along with the look of concern.
"Naruto I need you to let me in your mind again," War told Naruto, who nodded and closed his eyes. War put his gauntlented hand on top of Naruto's head and went into Naruto's mindscape.
Naruto's Mindscape...
War looked around and noticed that the sewer that had previously been Naruto's mindscape was now replaced with Medieval Barracks that had weapons lining the walls, oak bunk beds placed every two feet apart, and at the end of the barracks was a kite shield that had a nine-tailed fox as the coat of arms. War began looking around for Naruto and found him outside the barracks sitting on a throne with the mighty Kyubi no Kitsune sitting at his feet like a common house pet.
"Hello War," Kyubi greeted solmnly as he spotted War approaching the throne. War simply nodded and began looking around and he spotted Cain the Conquerer standing at a gate with his ax at the ready. War walked over to Cain the Conquerer and looked out over the forested landscape outside of the castle.
"Hello Cain," War greeted, occasionally looking over at one of Hell's ex champions.
"Hello War," Cain greeted back solemnly, his eyes never leaving the horizon.
"You told Naruto about Kyubi," War stated, "Why?"
"I saw an image of Kyubi when he is in his warrior form," Cain answered, glancing down at War, "It surrounded the boy like an image of what he truly is."
War sighed before exiting Naruto's mind and looking at Naruto in a mixture of concern and worry, for the young boys fate.
2 days later...
The aged Hokage sat on a balcony over looking the arena as he saw the few teams who made it to the tower in the appointed time, though he had teams out in the forest searching for stragglers or corpses. The Hokage nodded to Hayate Geko who coughed, immediately getting everyone's attention, and made the announcement.
"Congrat-cough-ulations to all those -cough- who made it here," Hayate said, "How-cough-ever there are still -cough- to many of you -cough- for the third part -cough- of the Chunin Exams."
"What do you mean," Kiba shouted at the top of his lungs, making him get on Naruto's nerves for some reason.
"-cough- The many dele-cough-gates and -cough- feudal lords -cough- that come to watch this event -cough- don't want to see a -cough- all day event -cough- so we must -cough- narrow down the number of -cough- competitors," Hayate answered, " If anyone -cough- wishes to -cough- leave please -cough- do so now."
Kabuto was about to walk out of the room when he felt a massive amount of spiritual pressure bearing down on him. Turning his head as much as he could he saw Naruto looking at him, and for a moment Kabuto thought he was looking at the devil himself. Hokage nodded and smiled before pointing to the screen next to a statue that had it's hands in a ram hand seal.
"This board will randomly pit two genin against each other," the Hokage explained, before giving a chunin a nod. The screen lit up and after 30 seconds it stopped.
"And the first two combatants are Naruto Uzumaki and Kabuto Yakushi," The chunin at the screen announced, "Everyone else please leave the arena."
Everyone else immediately left the arena, either out of fear or just following orders, and watched the two combatants. Kabuto was going to try and forfeit again but Naruto fixed him with another glare that caused the boy to cringe. Naruto drew his ax and stalked towards the boy and everyone there swore they saw a image of a warrior in blood-red armor surround the boy and when Naruto got to Kabuto he took the flat of the ax and hit Kabuto as hard as he could in the chest with it, and the majority of the audience cringed when they heard Kabuki's crack from the pressure of the blow. Kabuto doubled over in pain and began to cough up blood as he hit his knees.
"Kabuto Yakushi you are charged with the crime of high treason to the village of Konoha,"Naruto announced as he put the ax blade against the back of Kabuto's neck before raising it high above his head, "your punishment is death by beheading."
With the last word said and the sentence finished Naruto brought the ax down hard loping Kabuto's head off and sending it to the ground. Naruto merely sneered at the beheaded corpse and kicked it, to make sure it was dead, before sneering more.
"You can stop faking," Naruto said, sending the entire congregation into a outrage until they saw the body twitch. After Naruto said that snow began to fall inside the arena as Kabuto's head reattached to his body a long chain sprouted from a collar that appeared around his neck, he got on all four as blueish-gray fur sprouted from his body, yellowish eye with a blood red iris, a long tail sprouted from the bottom of his back, and he turned into a 10 foot tall wolf-like creature with salivating jaws and razor sharp teeth.
"You dare strike me human," the wolf-like creature said, "I am Fenrir, Hound of Destruction, Devourer of Gods, Destroyer of Life!"
After the beast finished his introduction it attacked Naruto, who had just enough time to get his ax in a defensive postion. When Fenrir impacted Naruto's ax Naruto's heels dug into the concrete and he slide back about five feet before he finally stopped completely. Fenrir however did not give Naruto a minutes rest and charged again only to be met by the sharp side of the ax. Quickly moving away Fenrir moved about halfway acroos the arena, giving Naruto enough time to draw Jigoku Kitsune. Fenrir charged, not even looking at Naruto's other hand, and went wide eyed as Naruto shoved his blood-red blade down Fenrir's throat. Not even a second later Fenrir was engulfed in pitch black flames, with the only thing remaining being a twon set of gauntlents with claws coming a good two feet from the knuckles. After a moment of shock the proctor finally called the match.
"Winner: Naruto Uzumaki," The proctor said, as Naruto walked hirashined up to his team.
