A/n: Hey, It's time to announce the winner of the poll…

KIBA!

…I didn't see this one coming. I always thought that Neji would make the better antagonist. I might just run with Neji as the antagonist, it would do good for KimiTen pairing, so if you don't like it, too fucking bad!!!

Kyourimaru-Heh, you do that. But credit me, ok?

Narai Moroha-I see your discomfort on the Kiba-Neji situation. But hey, not everyone gets what they want. I'll leave the whole Itachi Ayame thing for the reader to decide. Also, I already have the --------------- thing, so I don't need it. Yeah, Tayuya was a bit OOC with her conversation with Kimimaro, but remember in canon—Kimimaro threatened to kill her.

Unices: thanks, I think the fact that Neji will be antagonist will turn away some people, but those who remain loyal have my deepest gratitude.

Exile-kun: Lol, Kiba wouldn't make a good antagonist anyway, after all he has no evil gene in his body.

Leaf Ranger: Yeah, Team 7 have subconsciously made enimies

Ok, on with the show!

--------------------

Itachi was seen walking in to the local weapon shop, His eyes seemed indifferent to the un trained shinobi, but one with skill could see he was anxious about something. Could the source be in this very shop?

When he opened the sliding door, he was greeted by a man with scars all over his body behind the counter sharpening some swords. The man was middle aged, and had narrowed eyes, he looked up at the Uchiha and smiled. "Ahh, Itachi-kun, I have your order."

Itachi nodded. "I'm pretty sure it wasn't an easy sword to forge."

The man sighed. "Damn right it wasn't, you better be lucky I decided to forge a weapon of this caliber, now follow me to the back." Itachi nodded and followed.

--------------------

Team 7 came to a stopped in a clearing, Naruto looked around and said. "Yo, I gotta go to bathroom, be right back." Sasuke griped and Sakura decked him on the head. Naruto shook it off as nothing and went off somewhere in the woods.

Moments later, Naruto walked out. "Hehe…I wrote my whole name." He said with an annoying nasally voice. While Sakura was berating him Sasuke charged at him and with a kunai. Naruto saw this and jumped back and pulled out one of his own.

"Sasuke-kun what are you doing? That's Naruto!"

"Yeah you teme! What the hell is wrong with you?"

Sasuke scoffed. "Shut up you phony. Your transformation skills suck. My brother doesn't sound like that, nor is he shorter than me. Plus, you have a kunai holster, Naruto didn't wear one, and your whole demeanor screams 'fake'"

'Naruto' burst into smoke to reveal an Ame-nin wearing a breather. "You saw through my disguise…you're pretty clever."

"Actually no." Sasuke deadpanned.

"Whatever, you're outnumbered 3-2! Come out guys!" No one came out; the Ame-nin looked around wondering what the hell were his teammates doing.

"Correction; you are the one who is outnumbered." The real Naruto said as he emerged.

Sasuke smirked. The ame-nin turned to see the boy, grinning dangerously. "Where are my teammates?" He asked nervously.

"Oh, I killed them." He said rather cold bloodily. "And you're about to die too, right Sasuke?"

Sasuke nodded with a hint of bloodlust within his Sharingan eyes. Sasuke charged at amazing speeds towards the Ame-nin, the mask-wearing ninja sensed this and jumped back. Then called out two Water Clones to engage Sasuke.

Sasuke smirked and drew his sword, which he called Uchiwa and slashed at a clone, which blocked with a kunai, Sasuke jumped back and charged forward again, this time with a downwards slash the Bunshin jumped and the other clone tried to engage Sasuke, but he easily kicked it aside.

Sakura watched in mild horror at the look in Sasuke's eyes as he charged into battle. She was still shocked at Naruto declaration. Why did he have to kill his teammates for?

Sasuke jumped back and ran through handseals. "Katon: Phoenix Fire Jutsu!" Multiple fireballs shot out from his mouth, one clone was incinerated while Sasuke quickly stabbed the other. He then looked up at the Ame-nin who was scared shitless. Sasuke ran up the tree the Ame-nin was on, the enemy genins' eyes widened, he tried to jump, but his body wouldn't move, Sasuke took this opportunity to stab the petrified genin in the chest.

When the body fell, Naruto hopped down from his spot in the trees and searched him, to his surprise—the guy had a heaven scroll. Naruto smirked. "Yo, Sasuke!"

Sasuke looked over his shoulder, he was currently cleaning the blood off his sword. "I found the heaven scroll!"

Sasuke got up as soon as the blood was gone and ran over to see. "Yup, it is! Now we can go help Hinata's team!"

They were about to leave when Sakura made her presence known. "Hey! Are you just gonna act like nothing happened?"

Naruto looked over his shoulder. "Whaddya mean?"

Sakura shook her head in frustration. "You KILLED that guy and his team? Was that necessary? All too just get a stupid scroll?"

"Yes." Sasuke answered.

"I can't believe you two! You could've just knocked just knocked them out or something, so why kill them?"

"Because Sakura…In the shinobi world, when you are entrusted with something important as these scrolls, you have to expect to forfeit your life if enemies were to arise to take it." The Uchiha replied emotionlessly as he and Naruto kept walking.

"That still doesn't justify what you've done? You two are monsters!!"

Naruto and Sasuke stopped. Sakura was immediately on edge. The blond of the team exhaled as he looked up at the towering forest before them. "Look, killing isn't a choice, it's a job. We don't like to kill, we aren't used to killing, and we never will. But we learn how to turn off our emotions. Sakura, if we had just 'knocked them out' they would just wake up, and seek us out again and challenge us. In the real world, do you think an enemy shinobi will just 'knock you out' and wait for you to regain consciousness while he has an important document? No. He'll kill you. No remorse. No exceptions."

Sakura couldn't believe what she was hearing, but she just simply nodded and followed after them.

--------------------

Meanwhile, Team 8 was racing against time, they have to find Team 7, and warn them of Gaara. Hinata gulped for the third time in less than an hour the memory of the red head still in her mind.

-Dzero9-ton: flashback Jutsu!-

Team 8 was currently spying on a match between that sand team and an Amegakure team. Akamaru began to whimper.

"What's wrong Akamaru?" Kiba asked in a whisper. The puppy began to whimper more.

"What's he saying?" Hinata asked.

"He's saying that the one with the umbrella is dangerous!" Kiba replied

Team 8 watched as the Ame-nin launched a barrage of needles at Gaara's team. Gaara simply stood there. The team watched in shock as a wall of sand formed around him, protecting him from the needles.

"…I see, how I could I have mistook that!"

"What is it, Kiba?" Shino decided to ask.

"Akamaru said that the umbrella guy was in danger! He said that Gaara was the dangerous one! And that sand…It stinks of blood."

Team 8 watched as the Ame team was crushed by the sand, they looked away in shock. But what he said next almost made Hinata faint:

"Next on our list is Uzumaki's team…I can't wait."

-Flashback Jutsu: Release!-

Now team 8 was desperately searching for anything blond, pink, or a jacket with an Uchiha Fan on it. Hinata was scared for Naruto-kun, Sakura and Sasuke. Kiba, while he didn't like Naruto—didn't want him to get killed. Shino just didn't want to see Hinata cry, that was enough for him.

--------------------

Team 7 sensed that they were being followed by not one, but two teams. This put them on edge. When they reached another clearing Sasuke devised a plan.

Out of nowhere, I great gust of wind appeared, quickly thinking, Naruto put his hands together and slammed his palms on the ground. "Bracken Dance!"

Bone spikes surrounded the team, and they braced themselves against them. The wind died out, and out appeared the team from Kusa.

Naruto and Sasuke's eyes widened. They haven't sensed them at all!

The kunoichi of the team laughed. "Kukukuku… Impressive, such a use of bracken dance, I never seen it used like this in a while. You truly are Kushina Kaguya's son….kukuku…"

Naruto's eyes widened. "How…do you know my mother?" Both of the unknown teams were piqued by this.

The kunoichi waved off her teammates. And they vanished within the woods.

"Tell me, how do you know my mother? ANSWER ME!" Naruto demanded, his eyes turning red.

The kunoichi just grinned and charged at them with blinding speed, she went up and kick Naruto and the stomach, and combo'ed him into the tree trunk behind them. Naruto cracked the trunk and landed with a thud. "Naruto!!" Sasuke shouted.

Sasuke ran at the kunoichi with his sword, he pushed Sakura away as he slashed at the Kusa-nin; she just smiled and drew a kunai. They engaged in a one-sided fight with Sasuke getting kneed in the face, the Uchiha drew back, clenched his face as the kunoichi back handed him so hard, he flew into a tree trunk next to Naruto.

Sakura watched in horror, she spun around to come face to face with the odd kunoichi. All of the sudden, she witnessed different versions of her death, over and over. Sakura fell to the ground, unconscious.

Sasuke and Naruto looked up at the kunoichi and gritted their teeth. "This is no ordinary kunoichi…" Naruto said as he stood up, his hand bracing the tree.

Sasuke nodded as he stood up to, they watched as the kunoichi took the earth scroll from Sakura's pouch, and put it to her mouth and swallowed it whole. The boys looked in awe and disgust.

The kunoichi laughed again. "My name is Orochimaru." 'She' said, she touched 'her' headband and it turned to a music note, rather than the zigzags. She then ripped off her face, to reveal a man with pale skin and snake-like eyes.

The brothers immediately knew who it was; they just hoped that the other teams spying on them would help soon.

Orochimaru bit both his thumbs, and made handseals and shouted "Summoning Jutsu!" Two giant snakes appeared in a poof of smoke, and with a hiss, they both charged at the brothers.

Both of them jumped over the snakes, with a silent nod, they made handseals:

"Futon: Whirlwind Fist!"

"Katon: Grand fireball Jutsu!"

The wind strengthened the fire and engulfed the snakes. When they landed, they immediately charged at the snake Sanin, Sasuke went to grab Sakura as Naruto drew a two bone swords, He ran at Orochimaru and engaged him in a kenjutsu-taijutsu fight. Naruto stabbed, Orochimaru dodged. Naruto swiped, while the snake blocked with a kunai.

Naruto was getting frustrated, he kicked at Orochimaru's chest and used the momentum to flip back, he hopped lightly on his foot "Genji Dance" He rushed in at blurring speeds and spun around rapidly, Orochimaru getting struck, he was eventually launched into the air—the blond stopped and threw finger bullets and him, taking the snake higher, Naruto then jumped, his back facing Orochimaru's front. "The final blow!" He shouted and with a quick turn, he launched an array of bone spikes from his chest, Orochimaru was buried in them, Naruto landed and smirked at his handiwork.

The bones vanished into fine particles. Sasuke appeared next to Naruto, and smirked at him. They looked to see not blood, but mud.

"Shit!" They both shouted.

Out of the ground, Orochimaru appeared and punched Sasuke away, He grabbed Naruto by his neck and held him up, the snake sanin went closer to his ear.

"Do you want to know how I know your mother?"

Naruto was visibly shaking, sweat pouring down his body.

"I killed her, just after you were born…kukukukuku…"

--------------------

A/N: ooooh! The plot thickens! Orochimaru turns out to be Kushina's killer. And don't ask why her last name is Kaguya, it's pretty damn obvious. And I hope I got Genji Dance right, It was the move Kimimaro uses in Ultimate Ninja Storm. Oh, and don't forget about the two mystery teams, they'll appear soon. And also…Oroachimaru is sooooo gonna pay for that.
