Something Interesting

Chapter 21: Chuunin exams – Snake sannin

Kurai and Arcana resumed their search for team 7 after acquiring the Earth scroll.

"Dude, if Aqua, gets angry then the scroll is gonna work… hopefully." Kurai said to Arcana.

"I agree dude, hopeful she won't be too angry when we show her."

Kurai then stopped, "Dude I sense a huge chakra signature far to our right and 3 others, I think it's them."

"I sense it too, is it them?"

"Let's have a look, after all only Aqua is able to tell people apart through their chakra signatures."

"How does she do it!? Isn't that hard for a genin!?" Arcana asked while they were making their way towards the chakra signatures.

"Hey, we not normal genin. There it's them!" said Kurai seeing Orochimaru and team 7.

Naruto was unconscious, a kunai was keeping him hanging against a tree as it was thrust against the trunk, his jumpsuit near his back was attached to the kunai keeping him hanging. Sasuke and Sakura were helpless.

Arcana and Kurai got closer but at different points hoping not to be noticed.

Soon Orochimaru made his move he extending his neck to make in insanely long, he was going to bite Sasuke!

…

…

But he was denied! Arcana superman punched him against his temple. Orochimaru's neck was extended and his face slumped but he then retracted his neck and adjusted his head looking pissed.

Orochimaru, still with his false face on looked at Arcana standing before Sasuke and Sakura "How dare you interrupt, I will kill you and…"

Orochimaru was then Interrupted by Kurai, "Hey Snake baka!"

Orochimaru turned to look behind him and was hit with a lightning bolt in the face which destroyed his fake face.

"Kurai, Arcana what are you doing here?" asked Sasuke.

"Never mind that, his not down for the count…!"

As Kurai said that Orochimaru stretched his neck and was attempting to bite Sasuke again. This time he was too fast for them to stop. Sasuke fell to his knees in pain and put his hand on his neck.

"I am Orochimaru, remember me Sasuke and if its power you want then seek me out! My gift will help. Kukukuku!" that was the last thing Sasuke heard as he passed out.

"Sasuke!" Sakura was at his side now.

"Sakura, take your teammates and go." said Kurai seriously.

"W…what about you two?"

"Just go!" Arcana told her and she obliged.

"I know you can get them if you want but you did what you wanted to do isn't that right?" Kurai questioned the sannin.

"Kukukuku! Very perceptive, do you two really think you can beat me?" Orochimaru asked the boys.

Kurai jumped to Arcana's side, 'We probably can't, what was I thinking!?'

Then the two boys felt numb and they saw themselves dying a gruesome death.

Arcana stood there in a daze and started sweating. Kurai felt to his knees.

'T…This is too much… I can't…' Arcana was in a panic.

Kurai wasn't doing so good either, 'I…can't speak… I don't want to die like this!'

Arcana stabbed himself on his arm to break the illusion.

Kurai soon saw that it was just an illusion and stood a bit shaky but standing nevertheless.

"Kukuku! How interesting!" said Orochimaru amused, his creepy voice just made it worse.

Kurai looked at Arcana saw something strange, a blue flow inside him with a bit of green.

When Arcana looked at Kurai he was shocked, "Rai, Your eyes!"

"Yes! That is the bloodline of the Uchiha! The legendary sharingan! So there are other survivors…

It was true, Kurai had a pair of sharingan!

"…regardless having a backup isn't a bad idea!"

Orochimaru stretched his neck again in that inhuman way and was going to bite Kurai and give him the curse seal!

…

…

Denied again! Kunai was incoming from above forcing the sannin to retract his neck.

"Kukukuku! It's good to see you again, Anko-chan."

Anko was on a tree above the boys, "What are you doing here!?" Anko asked her former sensei he smirked, "I want the power of the Uchiha so that I can master every jutsu there is."

"So you want that boy, Sasuke?"

"Kukukuku! Yes Anko-chan, I gave him the same curse seal I gave you. He even shows more promise than you did."

"If he doesn't die!" Anko spat.

"He'll live and he will seek me out, are you jealous Anko-chan?" he was taunting her.

"Then why were you going to bite that kid?" Anko asked indicating Kurai who had his back to her.

"Kukukuku! Hahahaha! Why indeed, imagine my surprise when I discovered that there was another survivor of the Uchiha."

"What are you talking about?" she asked.

"Dear Anko-chan, allow me to explain, that boy possesses the sharingan and he awakened it right in front of me!"

"Kid, look at me!" she demanded.

Kurai looked at her and confirmed what Orochimaru had said.

"So it's true…" Anko then jumped between the sannin and the boys

"Get out of her you two! Now!"

The boys nodded and made a run for it.

After moments of running Kurai spoke, "He isn't pursuing us, I think he let us go…"

Arcana was silent.

Kurai was blaming himself, 'Damn, my curiosity nearly got us killed! Some tactician I am.'

After a while Arcana spoke, "We should get to Aqua, my clone dispelled when Orochimaru had us in that… that…" he couldn't finshed, he didn't want to think of that, he felt so useless, 'Damn it! What if Anko wasn't there, he would have bitten Kurai and there was nothing I could've done!'

"Let's hurry, we got the scrolls still." Kurai said in a happier tone, he wanted the tension to go away.

After about 15 minutes they found Aqua without running into any trouble and they were grateful for that.

As they approached Kurai deactivated his two comma sharingan, it was quite easy, like flipping a switch.

Aqua looked at them, "You two have some explaining to do…"
