Ok.! Next chappie

Last Time:

"Alright. Are we ready.?" Genma asked.

They smirked. Genma begun the battle.

Kagome watched him from above and her necklace flashed. She looked at Garras siblings and noticed they tensed. Kankuro withdrew from his match and was holding on to his mummy tightly.

Meanwhile the Kazekage was acting strangely. Kagome noticed this and looked back at the battle.

What was going on that they didn't know about.?

Now:

Gaara sat safely in a ball of hardened sand. At the beginning of the match Sasuke had shown his new strength. His speed now rivaled Lee's and his taijutsu has improved drastically. Sasuke had preformed another jutsu that Lee had preformed during his match with Gaara. Gaara had a hand sign up and was chanting unknown things. Sasuke had tried a direct approach by attacking the hardened sand from different angles. Throwing shuriken and punching the shield but it didn't work. And plus the sand would form into spikes and try to strike him which caused a nice cut on his cheek. Sasuke had his Sharigan activated. He watched as the shield never dropped and heard Gaara chanting.

'Well that stuff didn't work. Big surprise. I don't know what you're up too. But stall al you want. Ill use the time to get ready for what i have for you.' Sasuke thought as he lifted his arm and unbuttoned the strap on it.

Meanwhile outside the arena. Trees grew and animals ran. Anbu searched the area. One anbu stopped in the middle of the clearing and look around. He looked closely around checking for any signs of movement.

"Hey you see something." One Anbu said.

"No i must have imagined it." He said as he looked around one final time and racing off.

In the bushes Sound nin watched as the Anbu who almost caught them disappeared. One gave the signal and they moved out.

"Sensei. You said that you guys were late for a reason. Why is that.??" Sakura asked. Her Ino Choji Kagome Naruto Shikamaru Gai-sensei Lee and Kakashi were all watching Sasukes battle through the stands.

"Well that's a long story." Kakashi started.

"Well there's no time for talking we have to do something." Before Gaara stepped int the ring Naruto and Shikamaru saw something horrifying. Gaara killed two ninja who were sent to assinate him by their lord. Gaaras eyes were crazy like. A monstrous beast hand like thing emerged from him and ate the ninjas alive. Narto had been trying to get his sensei to stop the battle ever since then. But he wouldn't listen

"Your right. So shut up and pay attention." Everyones heads snapped up. He sounded so serious. "Keep your eyes on Sauske. Hes about to surprise you." Kaksahi finished. Kagome watched as Sasuke used his chakra to still himself on the side of the arena wall. He made hand signs. She knew exactly what was going on.

Gaaras siblings watched Gaara fight.

"What is he thinking. The signal can come anytime hes useless to us that way." Temari said as they watched him.

"The plan could be ruined we have to do something." Kankuro said.

Shino listened in on their talk. 'Plan.?'

Meanwhile a group of Sound and Sand ninja were creating a summons. They were waiting for the signal. Ready to strike.

Sasuke charged his hand up with Chakra. The chakra builded up into his hand. It would almost look like lighting because of the sound and look. But it was chakra. It cracked and chirped in his hand. He grabbed his upper left arm with his right hand and ran down the wall with amazing speed, cracking the wall in process.

'This cant be. To master that tecnique. So this is what the Uchiha are capable of.' Gai thought

'Excellent.' The Kazekage thought.

'Woah. His chakra is actually visible how could that happen.' Sakura thought.

"That noise. What is it.?" She said out loud.

"Its a jab." Gai started they all looked at him except for Kagome.

"A jab.?"

"Well more than a jab. Its the only technique in Kakashis aisle that he didn't copy from someone else. Its the weapon of choice for assassination. The secret is the speed and focus on chakra. When these to are combined at a high level it makes the sound that you hear. Like birds chirping. That's were it gets its name from. Chidori: One thousand birds.!" Gai finished.

Sasuke had charged Gaaras defense and jabbed his attack right in the center. His hand went through it. Everyone watched anxiously.

"Thats impossible. No one can penetrate his defenses." Kankuro said sweat trailing down his face.

"I know. This is bad." Temari said worried. Everything went quiet.

"It is also called lighting blade. It got that name because Kakashi once used it to cut a lighting bolt in half before it hit the ground."

"A lighting bolt.?"

'Yeah right. These old guys and their stories.' Ino thought.

Lee sulked a little. 'I envy you Sasuke. I told you it wasn't enough to copy a technique unless your body has the physical strength to do it. I felt so superior. But now you have trained you body at a speed that equals or even rivals my own. And plus you have the Sharigan.'

Sasuke watched the shell carefully and grabbed his upper arm again. 'Ive got you now.'

Sound and Sand ninja got ready outside the arena. they were already to go they just need the signal.

An anbu black op in the stadium looked at the Kazekage. 'Its almost time'

Gaara saw Sasukes hand touching his shoulder. Then warm liquid fell from his shoulder. Gaara looked at it slowly.

"Mother what is this. Its warm and wet." He touched the liquid and his eyes widened. "Blood.! Its my blood.!" Gaara screamed. They all flinched it sound like it hurted.

"I knew it he is hurt." Temari exclaimed.

Sasuke felt something and tried to detach himself from the shield. Gaara kept screaming while Sasuke used his chidori again to get away .The sand stuck to him as he pulled a away. He managed to get out of the sand grasps and looked into the whole that was made. A weird hand looking thing tried to squash him as he moved out of the way. Sasuke saw an eye emerge in the whole. His eyes widened. The beast growled as the sand started to disappear from Gaaras body.

Genma looked around the stadium. He sensed something. Bad.

Once the sand was all gone from Gaaras body they saw him clutching the spot where Sasuke hit. He was panting with that saw monstrous look in his eyes. He looked at Sasuke and Sasuke backed away.

The Anbu black op touched a mans shoulder and activated a genjutsu. It was time. People all around the stadium start o fall asleep. Feathers fel from the sky as more and more people fell asleep. Kagome Kakashi Gai and Sakura had released the jutsu before it hit them.

"Whats going on.?" Sakura asked.

"I don't know." Kagome replied as she watched Sasuke again. Something was up.

"Now shall we begin." The Kazekage said looking at the Hokage. Just then two ninja that was by his side ran forward and unleashed bombs. Sound nin from outside the arena charged forward. While the others activate the summonings they made. Kakashi and Gai looked around. Anbu black ops ran toward where the bomb was.

'The operation has begun.' Temari Kankuro and Baki thought.

"Lord Kazekage what is this.?" Th Hokage asked

The Kazekage jut looked at him. The Anbus splitted up. And Temari and Kankuro went to Gaara. The ninja that was protecting the Hokage was killed and the Anbus rushed to his side only to be blocked by 4 sound nin. The Hokage didn't know what was going on. The Sound nin landed on the four corners of the Kages positions. They made hand signs and created a barrier. No one could get by. The Kazekage held the Hokage around the neck and had a kunai at hand.

One anbu stood in front of Kakshi and Gai blocking them.

"What are you doing here.? Lord Hokage is in Danger." Gai said

Jut then Sound nin emerged from clothing of regular citizens. They stood by the Anbu while he had a hand sign up.

The Kazekage and Hokage stood in place and talked.

"I don't get it. The Sand betraying the Leaf.?"

The Kazekage chuckled. "Are treaty was a distraction to let your guard down. From now on things are going to change."

"Are you saying your going to start a war.? There are better ways to resolve conflict. There is still time lord Kazekage."

He chuckled again. "I guess fear gets worse with old age. Right Sarutobi-sensei."

The Hokage went wide-eyed. "You."

Two guards of the tower were complaining of missing the Chunin exams when all of a sudden

Boom.!

Smoke appeared out of the forest and rose a giant three headed snake. It was scaly and had on a scarf like cloth. It slithered toward the exam area with Sound and sand ninja in tow. The two guards put out an alert and started to attack the invaders.

Sasuke looked at where the Hokage were.

"What the hell is going on.?" He asked.

"Sasuke.!" He heard someone yell. It was Kaogme. She jumped off the railing and ran toward him. "Whats happening."

"I dont know.!" He

"Gaara.!" They heard Temari exclaimed. They looked to see Gaara in pain. "Stop Gaara.! Fighting this battle is pointless."

"I must kill him." Gaara said pushing them out of the way. Baki appeared.

"What are you three doing here. Cant you see the operation has already begun.!" He yelled.

Gaara bent over in pain clutching his head. "His wounds are worse than i thought. And his chakra is almost gone."

"Well does he have enough to..-"

"No that's impossible now."

"Idiot. Its because he tried to transform to early." Baki said as he turned to the two. They looked at him until Genma appeared in front of them.

"Whats going on.!" Sasuke asked.

Baki looked back to Gaara. "We need Gaara for this. So no matter what he will do his part. Is that understood.?"

"Got it." Kankuro said supporting Gaara by throwing one of his arms over his shoulder and using his other arm to support Gaaras body.

"What about you sensei.?" Temari asked.

"Ill take care of these three." He said looking back at them.

Genma allowed a sweat drop to drop.

"Go.!" Baki said as the three siblings took off.

"Is the host of this party Orochimaru.?" Genma asked. Kagome gasped.

"Don't know and don't care. Now lets get things started." Baki said getting in a stance.

"Sasuke and Kagome. I'm sorry but the Chunin exams are over. You have achieved Chunin level. Now put your training to use."

"In other words were suppose to take down Gaara right.?" Sasuke asked.

Genma nodded. "Be careful thought. This is the real deal not a get going." Sasuke nodded and he and Kagome raced after Gaara and his siblings.

"Hold it right there.!" Baki said throwing Kunai at them but they were blocked by Genmas kunai. Kagome and Sasuke jumped over the wall and out the arena.

Kakashi watched as his students left.

"Well we intended to capture those two while Gaara was causing trouble, but i guess that wont happen." The Kazekage said

"Oh i see. So Sasuke Kagome and The leaf village was your target right.?" The Hokage asked.

"Do you really think that the Leaf village gave me any interest. If Gaara returns ill show you something interesting. But anyway I've out maneuver you I've defeated you."

"Nothings done with until its over with. I taught you that years ago didn't i." The Kazekage grabbed his face a nd peeled off the skin. Reveling..

"Orochimaru." The Hokage finished. "I knew this day will come. But you wont defeat me that easily."

Orochimaru chuckled. "I told you. You should have picked the fifth Hokage before this because right now you are going to die." Orochimaru said

"Hey look over there." Gai pointed to where the Hokage was.

Kakashi looked inside the barrier. "Orochimaru."

Sakura gasped. 'Orochimaru what is he doing here. Don't tell me hes after Kagome and Sauske again.!'

"Kagome Sasuke." She tried to look for them but they were gone. Sound nin pounced to attack her but Kakashi tackled them down.

"Sakura it was a Good idea to teach you Genjutsu. You have a real talent for it. Now wake Naruto from the Genjutsu. You are all going on a mission."

"What kind of mission.?"

"This is the first A-rank mission since the land of waves."

Sakura looked up. She was ready.

"Listen Carefully i want you too wake up Naruto and Shikamaru. Sasuke and Kagome are following Gaara and the other Sand ninja. Follow after them." Kakashi lifted his kunai to his thumb and made a cut. Blood came out and he made hand signs. "Summoning jutsu." He placed his hand on a random guys back and poof there cam a puppy.?

"A puppy but shouldnt i wake Ino and Choji.?"

"No Having more than a four man squad will make things difficult. Pakkun here will lead you to Kagome and Sasuke by scent."

"But its a puppy."

Pakkun arrived in Sakuras face. "Alright listen up little girl. Don't be going around saying I'm just some cute puppy."

'But i didnt even say cute.' Pakkun was indeed a puppy. He had a baggy face and sharp teeth. He had the ninja headband tied around his head and had a cape like cloth on his back.

"Alright its time. Sakura wake Naruto and Shikamaru." Sakura nodded and crawled toward the two while Kakashi helped Gai fight of some more Sound nin. She made hand signs and tapped Narutos head. With a mutter of release Naruto woke up as confused as ever.

"Sakura..Whats going on here-"

"Get down.!" Sakura pushed Naruto to the ground and the kunai that came their way crashed into the wall. "Just stay down ill inform you later." She crawled over to Shikamaru ready to release him but she noticed something.

Shikamarus eye twitched. 'Shikamaru..' Sakura thought angrily. Pakkun went over to his leg and took a nice bite out of it. Shikamaru yelped as he woke up and started to shake his leg.

"You released Genjutsu too you faker.! Why were you asleep this whole time.!?"

"I didn't want to get involved. I couldn't care less about Sasuke. Kagome alright but shes a pain." He said taking Pakkun from his leg and squeezing his face causing him to bite his hand again. Sakura ignored them and Naruto looked around.

'Whats going on.?'

"Naruto watch out.!" Naruto turned and saw a Sound nin aiming for him. He flinched as Gai came and smashed the ninja against the wall.

"Such speed.." The ninja said

"Not just fast powerful." Gai said as he punched the ninja through the wall.

Kakashi appeared in front of the group. "Now im going to give you instructions. Go and find Sasuke and Kagome. Stop them."

"What did something happen to Sauske and Kagome.?" Naurto asked.

"Ill tell you on the way now lets go." Sakura grabbed Naruto and jumped out of the opening Gai sensei made.

Shikamaru watched them. "Why me this is such a drag." Pakkun sighed and bit his hand again and dragged him out of the building. Shikamaru still yelping.

"Do you think they'll be ok.?" Gai said.

"They'll be find. Pakkun will protect them if they don't go to far." Kakashi reassured as they joined the battle again.

Unknown to them Shino was listening to them. He disappeared and followed Sakura and gang.

Sasuke and Kagome raced after Gaara and his siblings. They had a head start so Kagome and Sasuke were behind.

"I could sense them. We're not too far away from them." Kagome said as she accelerated off a branch. Sasuke nodded through his newly grown hair. If i didn't mention he was also wearing all black with the Uchiha symbol on the back. They raced forward and forward. They were getting close.

Sniff Sniff Sniff

"This is bad they are still on our tails." Pakkun said. Sakura Naruto he and Shikamaru went ahead and followed Kagome and Sasukes scent butt hey had Sound ninja followers.

"Well we have no choice but to ambush them before they ambush us." Naruto said. They all shook their heads.

"Naruto think.! They have much more experience than us and they are a higher level. We cant compete with that.!" Sakura said.

Shikamaru thought about things. He knew they have no talent for jutsu and their opponents were way stronger. What a drag. And they had to catch up to Kagome and Sasuke. So..

Shikamaru stopped and turned in the enemies direction. Everyone looked at him and stopped.

"Shikamaru what are you doing come on.!" Naruto exclaimed.

Shikamaru just smiled. Well this is the only option we have. Their have to be sacrifices to complete a mission. And you guys have to make it to your teammates in time. Ill hold them off the best way i can."

Naruto bit his lip. "But Shikamaru-.."

"Just go Naruto." Shikamaru turned and smiled.

They all hesitated but left with a good luck.

'Troublesome..'

Kankuro and Temari panted. They were losing the Uchiha and that girl but they were rapidly catching up.

"Yes i can feel it they are hot on our trail." Temari said

"What do we do then.?" Kankuro asked with Gaara on his side.

Temari pulled out string. "Just leave tit to me." She did something with the strings and they took off.

"They were just here." Kagome said arriving where the siblings were. "They went over there." She pointed. Sasuke stepped forward and activated a string the pressure went to a piece of paper and boom.! A paper boom went off. Kagome stepped back from the blow but she also activated a paper bomb. They maneuvered their way out of the mine field direction of the siblings.

"Dammit.! There coming again.!" Temari exclaimed. She couldn't believe that didn't work.

Kankuro for once had enough of running. He stopped on one branch which caused Temari to stop. "What are you doing.!?"

"Temari take Gaara. Ill hold them off."

Temari took Gaara confused. "Are you sure.?"

"Yeah now get going." She nodded and flew past some branches. Kankuro turned from her direction to see Kagome and Sasuke staring right at him.

"She took Gaara." Kagome whispered.

"Well looks like you punks are going to have to face me first." Kankuro said taking off his puppet from his back.

Sasuke frowned. He didn't have time to fight him.

"Why dont you go after Gaaa. Ill take him." Kagome said almost as if she read his mind. She took out a kunai and Sasuke looked at her.

"Meet me there when your done." He said getting ready to take off. Kagome smirked.

"Dont worry ill be there." Sasuke nodded and went past Kankuro. Kankuro tried to stop him but Kagome stopped Kankuro with her knives.

"You're fighting me now." Kagome said balling her fist and crouching in a stance. She knew hat Kankuro was a puppet master. This wasn't going to e easy. But she knew it wasn't going to be hard. Kankuro growled and unwrapped his puppet and attaching his chakra strings.

Kagome disappeared before his eyes.

'What.!?' He looked around for her chakra signal. But couldn't find it. She reappeared behind him and stabbed him with her kunai. Kankuro yelped. But she noticed. This wasn't him. It was his puppet. The puppets disguise broke as its body turned to her and a blade with poison came from its mouth. She quickly moved out of the way before it can puncture her skin. She looked around.

'So hes working rom the shadows. No big deal.' She thought. She closed her eyes and made a hand sign. She focused her mind to locate his chakra signal. She found him.! The puppet approached her fats as she dodged another blade. The puppets arm unattached from her punch and fell to the ground. She took another punch to the stomach of the puppet that sent it breaking into a lot of pieces. But with that came purple smoke it was gas. A deadly poison in it. She covered her mouth quickly and tried to move from the smoke but she couldn't see. The puppets mouth clattered as it tried to stab her with the body blades. Her necklace activated her shield and the poison couldn't get in. The puppet was deflected and due to the shields light Kagome was able to move out of the poison. She breathed in some air and stood up the shield deactivating.

Sniff Sniff Sniff.

"Two figures are fighting ahead."

"Who are they.?" Sakura asked pushing off a branch stopping.

"I can tell one of them is Gaaras sibling -Sniff- The other one seems to be Kagome."

"What Kagome.! We have to help her.!" Naruto exclaimed

"No. I don't think that's wise we better go around them." Pakkun said.

"But what about the mission it was our mission to stop Sasuke AND Kagome." Sakura said

Sniff. "I sense another presence near that battle. Who ever it is That person will help her. Now we have to follow Sasuke. Hes going after Gaara alone." Pakkun finished as he sprang forward.

Kankuro scowled in the bushes. This girl was strong indeed. He sent his puppet after her again.

Kagome dodged the blow from the puppet. It patched back together and was now coming after her again. She needed a plan to get rid of this thing and go to Sasuke. She tried to think of one but it wouldn't come to her. She punched at the puppet again.

Thanks to her thinking session. She didn't notice that one of the puppets legs were missing. Kanuro smirked as he moved one of his finger the leg quietly cam behind her and pointed out a blade dripping with poison. It charged at her back while she was fighting the puppet.

The blade broke through a body.

OmG Suspense. Can anyone guess who the body is.? Is it Kagomes. Might be haha (Evil laugh)
