Reviews

Revanofthesithlord - Yeah don't worry Minato will get whats coming to him!

Deiru Tamashi - damn that 10% and good guess on Kurenai.

Shadowninjamaster - Thanks!

Tsukoblue - Thanks!

Animaman - I don't think Naruto and Sakura are to rushed I mean there only on talking terms really and it's only because of Ayame that Naruto would even say she's a friend, also Sakura tried to save Ayame in the mission of the wave and if you do that then Naruto would forgive almost anyone. As for Mei..yeah she's a bit full of herself.

rheafica - Oh you won't hate one of those 4 people soon ^^..well I hope you won't!

NarutoKushina - I went into some detail on the harem at the bottom of this chapter, I'm really conflicted with Kakashi becuase of upcoming events!1 :( and Kushina's talk with Naruto and Ayame will some this arc but it will be awhile as theres alot to clear up before that talk happens :)

Chilledkitsune - I wouldn't say Mei is with Minato she may have her own ways to know things...and Anko is a strong ninja who knows when she might pop up.

Generation zero - Good guess..damn that Minato!

9m4re - Thanks i'm glad you love her!

Azrael Akuma - Yeah I highly dislike Kurenai as well, I have no regret if I do end up killing her this chapter...but who knows if I will kukuku

Dragonbolt 21 - I would venture to say that list will be changed in the coming chapters..not saying if you would take someone off or add someone though :)

Dragonpony022 - Ok first off about Sakura..she will find happiness even if she's not in the harem...I'm gonna say thats a chance..and SMALL chance she might make it into the harem in the future but if she doesn't her character is still gonna be very important to the story in the future. Also thank you for praising Mei I had her character completely planned from the first chapter and to be able to write her now is such an amazing feeling.

s.k.f.f.f - She is a kage :)

Destiny's bond will - Something like that :)

Warzpark - You are right if Mei were to fight Kyuubi 1v1 she would lose..but she's not fighting the Kyuubi she's fighting Naruto who has less then a quarter of the Kyuubi's power and she's shown in the wav to know a hell of alot about biju's..so if Naruto fought her a lost she might know how to extract the Kyuubi and turn the fox into her personal tool...that's what Kyuubi feared.

Kage88 - Is that a good thing?

Naruhina 123 -If you want to know if theres gonna be lemon between mei and minato please pm me and I will tell you, I think saying it in a chapter could ruin the story for some people, as it might hint at things happening in the future.

Zewi - Continue to read and find out..

Sabery - Mei could be an actress I think, and yes good guess

Please read the bottom of the chapter as theirs a poll at the bottom of this chapter..not a very important one but still one you may want to see.


Chunin Exams Part 2


Ibiki then looked at the top of the steps and saw a raven haired beauty walk down them she had every man looking at her as if she was a goddess, her red eyes simply peered forward, she then turned around. "My name is Kurenai Yuhi, I'll be the proctor of the second part of the exams." The woman with the red eyes scanned the room until her eyes meet with Naruto's, her cold dead eye's clearly conveying her emotions.

Those eyes clearly showed that she was going to kill Naruto.


Kurenai's eyes weren't only seen by Naruto's though, his girlfriend Ayame also saw the way this jounin was staring at her boyfriend, the two lovers meet eyes and gave a nod to each other signaling to the other that they both saw this. "Now then if you will all follow me we will begin the second part of the exams." The red eyed woman said as she began to walk outside as the class full of genin followed her.

Naruto and Ayame stayed in the middle of the pack trying to stay out of sight of the jounin. "Naruto-kun do you know her?" Ayame asked the boy who continued to watch the jounin from behind the genins.

"No I don't know who she is, though it's obvious she has a problem with me and I don't think its because I'm the kyuubi." Ayame nodded her head getting the same feeling from the woman. "Those were the same eyes I had when Anko-sensei was taken from me." Naruto continued knowing that this woman must think he took something dear from him.

"Naruto-kun stay with team 7 she won't attack you around Sasuke-kun and Sakura-chan." Ayame said trying to devise a plan where Naruto wouldn't have to fight this woman in combat and possibly die.

Naruto shook his head though. "No I will go alone this time." Ayame was about to interject but Naruto interrupted her before she could speak. "We are heading to the forest of death it's basically my home, I know it better then anyone in this village, it's also away from everything so the sound of fighting will just be thought of two genin having meet and had a disagreement." Naruto gave a sigh. "This would be the best place to fight her for me if there are others with her then I will be easily killed if they were to come at me all at once at least in this forest I have the advantage." Naruto said with confidence present in his voice.

Ayame didn't like this one bit her boyfriend having to fight alone but she needed to be with her team also. "I swear if I sense anything wrong I will come to help you Naruto-kun." Naruto gave a smile happy his girlfriend wasn't going to fight him to hard on this, he knew it must be killing her to know that he would probably have to fight to the death in the forest if there theory was correct. Naruto would be sure to make it up to her later.

As the group stopped so did Ayame and Naruto not speaking anymore as the genin had stopped talking so there voice wouldn't be drowned out by the group any longer. "Now then everyone please take on of these papers." Kurenai then beckoned two genin forward as she gestured for them to take the two stacks of papers and fill them out. "This is a release from, it basically says if you die in this part of the exam that your village will take no action against Konoha." A lot of the genin started to shake at this feeling for the first time in most of there life's that they could die here.

"Now then in this part of the exam we will be giving each team one of these scrolls, one will be the scroll of heaven and the other the scroll of earth." Kurenai pulled out the two different scrolls and showed them to the genins. "To past this part of the exam you must find another group who has the opposite scroll that you own and take it by any means necessary, your team must then find the tower within the forest of death and enter it will both scrolls intact." Kurenai put the scrolls back down and looked at the genin once more. "You have five days to accomplish this, if you fail then a jounin will find you and escort you out of the forest. Are there any questions?" The jounin looked around seeing no one having any questions for her. "Ok then come forward as a team and let one of the chunin here give your team a scroll, oh and one last thing you are allowed to kill anyone in this forest." Kurenai had found Naruto in the group of genin and stared directly at him.

Naruto stared back, his eyes showing no fear as if to say he will be waiting for her challenge. 'This will be a hard fight to win kit, we know nothing about her and by title she should be much stronger than you.' The Kyuubi said trying to figure out if the kit was really ready for this. 'We have to fight strong opponents one day and this is one fight we can't avoid it seems.' Naruto responded as the Kyuubi grunted in agreement.


Hours later in the forest of death


Naruto laid in a tree watching some frightened genin run for there lives as his snakes attacking them, as the genin were back into a corner with his snakes surrounding them completely he moved forward as the snakes moved out of the way so he could move through. "Now then your scroll please." Naruto said in a kind tone as he watched the female of the group grab the scroll and basically throw it into his arms. "Thank you." Naruto gave them a smile as his snakes backed off and he moved away leaving the genin scared but alive.

"Well that was a bit to easy." Naruto thought to himself as he felt eyes watching him, they had been the entire time he entered the forest, it was no secret he knew she was around and she knew that he knew. They were just waiting for the right time to engage one another it seemed.

Naruto moved through the forest as he came into a small opening one very far from where any genin would be. "There shouldn't be any interruption here proctor-san you can come out now." Naruto said as he sat on a branch waiting for the jounin to come out.

She jumped from a nearby tree and landed in the small clearing her eyes meeting his once more her body now shaking uncontrollably with rage. "To think you even use her jutsu's." Kurenai's face showed the hatred and pain in her eyes. "Do demons not care about anything but themselves? She loved you and you don't even care." Kurenai's eyes were started to waver as they wanted to go from dead to saddened but she wouldn't let them holding back all the tears she had until this demon in front of her was dead.

Naruto took a jump from the branch and landed in front of her. "Would you mind telling me what all I did to cause you such pain?" Naruto continued to look at her as he figured out from her speech she had to have a connection with Anko but he didn't know how. "I would like to know why you hate me so I can apologize before our battle if I really did do something this terrible in your mind." Naruto said knowing almost for a fact that he didn't do anything to cause this woman the pain she was in.

"An apology is no longer needed only your dead body under my feet." Kurenai said as flower pedals started to drop in front of Naruto's face his eyes watched them for a second as he looked back to find Kurenai completely gone, he searched around for her having but there were no signs of her.

Naruto tried to moved but found himself stuck in place when he looked behind he he saw that a tree's roots had him wrapped up and unable to move. Naruto then sensed her presences once more as he looked up and saw the woman's upper body come out of the tree, she then moved down placing a kunai on his neck.


Elsewhere in the forest of death


Ayame was pacing around as team 7 had built a camp fire having receiving there second scroll. "Ayame-chan it's gonna be ok I'm sure Naruto-kun is fine." Sakura said giving her friend some confidence hoping to calm the young red head.

"I just have a bad feeling Sakura-chan what if he dies." Ayame began to pace faster then before. "Maybe I should go find him we have the scrolls and you two are strong enough to protect them." Ayame said instantly feeling bad about saying it knowing it would weakening her team.

"Just shut up and let the dobe die if he's that weak." Sasuke said as he laid against a tree tired of watching this girl worry about her boyfriend.

"W-what did you just say." Ayame instantly turned her heels so she was walking directly toward the Uchiha. "Say it one more time so I can end you right now." Now then this wasn't like Ayame to basically give death threats but when two things happen she gets like this, When her boyfriend is in a life of death situation and when it's Sasuke Uchiha who pisses her off and right now both were happening.

Before she could make it to Sasuke it was Sakura who jumped in front of them blocking her path. "Ayame-chan just calm down it will be ok let's not fight." Ayame took a deep breath calming down. "Great then that's settled so how about this when we finish a small rest we will go look for Naruto-kun as a group does that sound ok?" Sakura looked at Ayame who nodded her head sadly, she then heard a grunt from Sasuke thinking it was the best answer she was gonna get.


Back with Naruto and Kurenai


As the cold blade of the kunai reached his throat the young boy's body stiffened as memories of the time he cut his own throat trying to kill himself played back in his mind as regrets for ever trying that also went though him.

"Now then you want to know what you've done, now that I've got you like this I will tell you demon everything you have done to destroy my life to make me a shell of my former self, to take everything from someone." Naruto continued to stare at the woman as she said this.

"First you killed the third hokage, he was a great man he was a hero of this village and you the Kyuubi not only killed hundreds of people but even that man." Kurenai let regret sweep over her face. "But I told myself you weren't the Kyuubi you were a child the villagers wrongfully assumed was the Kyuubi." Kurenai's kunai pushed further into the teens throat as the pain of the hokages death ran through her mind.

"Then Anko-chan you, she told me how great you were how you were like her and it was the first time she was free to be herself." Kurenai had a tear run down her face letting her sadness finally overtake her emotions. "But then she died to because of you the Kyuubi, even then though I thought you were a child and that Anko-chan just died on a mission like many others had. That she couldn't have loved someone so dearly she couldn't have been so blind." Naruto reacted with a soft smile as the words love and Anko were used in the same sentence.

Seeing this Kurenai pushed the blade into his skin causing small amount of blood to cover the blade as Naruto grimaced in pain. "It wasn't until Asuma-kun's death that I finally realized what you were, what kind of demon you were and it was all thanks to Hokage-sama." Kurenai then began to speak of the day she heard of Asuma's death.


Flashback


Kurenai was getting dressed for the evening she had a red a black dress on that showed much of her body and had some black lingerie underneath it she gave a smile as she started to pose in front of her mirror. "Your gonna knock him dead Kurenai, he's gonna fall for you instantly." Kurenai started to run her hands over her body obviously pleased at her figure and how she was hoping it was gonna give her a victory on her date tonight.

She then heard a knock at the door. "Oh Asuma-kun is here." Kurenai ran to the door before stopping herself. "No don't act like you've been waiting this whole time, let him wait so he doesn't think I'm that interested." Kurenai told herself as she tried to calm her beating heart.

She let the door knock once more before finally opening it, on the other side wasn't the man she was suppose to date this evening no it was the leader of the village the fourth hokage himself. "Hokage-sama what are you doing here?" Kurenai said confused as to way the hokage would pay her a visit.

Minato looked at her his eyes cast with sadness. "Kurenai-san I..I" Kurenai saw his face and instantly knew what was happening this was just like when Anko died, the same face the same tone her body instantly started to shake as she started to whisper the word no to herself repeatedly trying to pray this wasn't the news she thought it was. "Kurenai-san we found Asuma-san's body, he was found dead outside of Konoha we don't know why he was out there."

Kurenai fell to her knees her eyes leaking tears as her eyeliner started to run down her cheeks. "No..no that can't be true we were suppose to." Kurenai looked up at the hokage her body shaking her lip trembling. "W-who did this?" Kurenai asked as Minato simply shook her head.

"Please follow me if you want those answers Kurenai-san." Minato watched the raven haired woman nod her head knowing it took everything in her just to stand up and follow the man, the trip to the morgue was nothing pleasant as not a word was said.

As the two entered the building they headed to a room in the basement, upon entering they saw a metal table with Asuma's lifeless body laying there, Kurenai instantly ran toward him trying to make sure it was him trying to find some way to say it wasn't him but as she came into arms distance of his body she saw that it was indeed the man she loved and there was a giant claw mark across his body as it look like the claw of a giant beast ripped through his torso.

Minato moved to the crying woman as he placed his hand on her shoulder. "I wanted you to see this for yourself so there was no doubt." Kurenai looked over at Minato clearly showing she didn't wanna see this. "You know that only the demon child can cause this kind of marks you saw these when you were only a child when the Kyuubi attacked." Kurenai nodded her head once more.

"H-hokage-sama what are we gonna do, he's killing our ninjas can't you stop him you destroyed him once you can do it again." Kurenai said in a hopeful voice but her heart dropped when the hokage shook his head.

"Sadly I can't do anything to people outside this village he is a mere child if we were to kill him in cold blood we would lose all our funding and help from other villages." Minato then slammed his hand on the table. "Damn that demon he's still taking everything I hold dear from me and theirs nothing I can do, first my daughter was corrupted by him and now he's trying to take my wife from me as well." The hokage said as a small tear ran down his face.

Kurenai then realized what had to be done. "Hokage-sama can you make me the proctor of the second part of the chunin exams." Minato looked at her as he raised his eyebrows. "I will do what needs to be done." Minato clearly understood what she meant and nodded his head making her the new proctor of the chunin exams.


Flashback end


"You see demon your tricks will no longer work on me or this village any longer, I am the mistress of genjustu and I am here to end you." Kurenai then went for the killing blow.

Naruto bite his lips as he let out a loud grunt as the blood rushed from his lips, he did this just in time to dispel the genjutsu he was in a dodge the blow, as he rose up he stared once more at the woman. "I really thought I did something to you but honestly you are blind to the truth of Konoha and are just looking for a scapegoat like the villagers." Naruto then went into a fighting stance.

"Y-You took everything from me, I have nothing to live for anymore!.A scapegoat..no I'm looking for a fox and I found him, so now he dies." Kurenai rushed at the boy kunai in hand as she prepared a battle of taijutsu with the boy.

The two ninjas found themselves on almost even foot with Naruto getting the slight advantage. "Snake hands jutsu." Naruto said breaking the taijutsu duel as three snakes jumped from his sleeve and hit Kurenai in the leg as they bit down.

"Ahh!" The woman screamed as the used her Kunai to cut the heads off the snakes barely missing cutting her own leg. "Look's like I won't win a war in close range." Kurenai said as flower peddles once more surrounded Naruto and caused him to lose sight of her.

This time the genjustu she cast was much like the last one but this time the veins came from the ground and pulled the boy down so his back was on the floor the veins then wrapped around his arms and legs and finally his mouth leaving him no way to defend himself.

The last thing he noticed was that his hearing was gone as well, he felt a sharp pain in his side, looking down he saw a kunai stuck in it, then from the other side. The boy let out muffled screams of pain as the genjustu was wearing on him and he couldn't find out where she was he couldn't hear anything.

Finally after what seemed like hours of never ending pain he saw the woman in front of him, she straddled his body and allowed him to have his hearing once more. "Now look at the face of the one who killed the Kyuubi, look at the face of the one who will avenge all the love ones that you murdered!" Kunai pulled her kunai back and prepared the final blow.

What she didn't expect was the boy to free himself from the genjustu and land his blow first, she found before her blow could hit him he had already stabbed her in the chest, she dropped her kunai before grabbing the spot it was stuck in. "H-how did you." Kurenai made sure there was no way he could dispel her genjustu how did he.

The boy push her away before standing up. "Quite easy actually." Naruto then undid his jacket to reveal his bare chest and wrapped around that chest was one of his snakes. "After learning you were a genjutsu expert I wrapped a snake around me to bite me whenever I had become effected by one of your jutsus." Naruto then looked around. "Now stay here while I look for a medic for you."

Naruto was about to leave to find help when the woman started to curse him. "I'll kill you demon..." Kurenai then started to cough up some blood as she got to her knee. "And then I will kill your corrupted lover." Kurenai smiled at Naruto a blood started to flow from her lips.

She then felt fear overcome her when Naruto's body started to become covered in orange chakra as he let out a laugh that would send fear down anyone spine. "I was gonna let you live, that was until you threatened my lover." Naruto's voice became more demonic during his sentence.

"Let's play a game Kurenai-san, it's one that Anko-sensei made up." Naruto's smile became fox like. "It's called snake and fox, it's where the snake chases the fox and if the fox is caught it dies." Naruto then moved forward. "Well your not a snake or a fox but you get the point..don't get caught."

Kurenai was overcome with fear and stood up on her wobbly legs as she started to stagger away from the fox barely able to move and losing so much blood she would die soon but she was to prideful to just let this fox get away with this.


With Ayame and Team 7


Ayame and her team awoke from there small nap, they all looked at the equipment they had making sure none of the scrolls have been taken, after successfully checking the equipment Ayame felt something. "Naruto-kun." For some reason she could feel his chakra it just flared up. 'It must be the Kyuubi's chakra..he's in danger!' Ayame quickly packed her gear.

This caused the other teens to stare at her. "I know where Naruto-kun is, we have to hurry he's in trouble!" Ayame said her voice showing her worry clearly to the other teens, Sakura didn't say anything and started to pack her gear faster, Sasuke even packed his gear faster then normal but not because he wanted to help Naruto he just wanted to get out of this forest.

The teens jumped tree from tree about five miles it seemed from Naruto which caused her pace to quicken trying to get to him, the teen felt she was at her full speed until her legs were caught, she looked down to see a snake wrapped around her ankle. "Naruto-kun's snake?" Ayame questioned as she looked at her team and saw they were being held by snakes as well.

"Oh I'm sorry but that isn't your Naruto-kun's snake." Ayame looked up at the new voice and saw a pale skinned man who was both tale and skinny his face looked a close to a snake as a human face could. "My name is Orochimaru it's a pleasure to finally meet you Ayame Namikaze." The man said with a smile.

Ayame looked at her teammates and realized they didn't know who this man was. "W-what are you doing here." Ayame knew she and her team were out of there league, her trembling body should be enough to warn them but sadly they didn't see how scared she was of this man.

Because Sakura had broken free of her binding and jumped at the man he arm pulled back chakra powered, she tried to punch the man but missed completely as he dodged the tree she hit though quickly exploded on the part she hit.

"My I would think Tsunade-san had trained you with that kind of strength." Sakura then engaged him once more and the man dodged her. "Well you see Ayame-chan I'm here for Sasuke-kun, so if you would please hand him to me I would be forever grateful." Orochimaru spoke to Ayame all while dodging Sakura's attacks like they were nothing.

Ayame saw her friend fighting and grew some courage as she broke her bindings. "Geez that's a tempting offer cause I hate the Uchiha..but he's still my teammate." Ayame then moved her hand preparing to cast a jutsu. "Shadow clone jutsu!" She yelled as the area was filled with clones of her, she looked over a Sasuke who used his fire jutsu to break his bonds.

Ayame looked at her teammates and they each nodded there head knowing they would have to fight as a team to survive this fight, many of Ayame's clones attack Orochimaru head on, they were all defeated easily as snakes rose from the ground biting each one of them.

Sasuke had managed to sneak around Orochimaru and jumped from a clearing. "Fire style: fireball jutsu." He said as fire erupted from his mouth and covered the arena Orochimaru was in, the sannin though easily jumped out of the fire.

Orochimaru then looked up to see the remaining clones of Ayame were in the air they all had a hold of Sakura they all then threw the girl downward using chakra enhanced strength to give her even more speed, the genin was to fast for Orochimaru to react and Sakura's fist connected solidly on his face. "HELL YEA!" the pink hair genin yelled as the sannin was punched so hard he went through multiple trees before crashing hundreds of feet away.

Sakura then placed a hand on her arm. "You see that Sasuke-kun, it was pretty easy!" Sakura then turned to look at Sasuke only to find Orochimaru there his body formed into a snake wrapped around Sasuke's body. "Quite the skilled genin we have here, I would enjoy to have you all but Sasuke-kun is my most important prize." Before the two females could react Orochimaru had bit Sasuke on the neck.

Ayame and Sakura ran to try and stop Orochimaru but he disappeared before they could get to him, the sannin had left Sasuke who was now passed out on the ground, the two teens then saw a mark on his neck. "What is this Ayame-chan." The red headed girl only shook her head not knowing either. "We have to get him to the tower Ayame-chan!" Sakura said realizing his life might be in danger.

Ayame looked toward Naruto's chakra signature and sigh knowing that she couldn't leave Sakura alone with Sasuke she had to hope her boyfriend made it she had to have complete trust in him, the two woman picked up and scroll and headed for the tower.


With Naruto and his Prey


Kurenai looked down her vision becoming blurry as she grabbed her chest and blood covered her hand. "I can't move much further." Kurenai felt her body losing it's strength fast.

"Oh Kurenai-san." Naruto said as she looked up and saw him right over her, his body becoming even more feral, if Kurenai had the strength to scream she would. "I won't prolong your agony any longer, you can thank Anko-sensei for that she wouldn't want me to make her friend suffer any longer." Naruto straddled the woman much like she had to him as pulled the kunai from her chest which caused blood to start rushing from the wound. "Now then." Naruto looked down and noticed the blood of hers was now covering his pants.

"Gaki what are you doing! Why the fuck are you hurting Kurenai-chan!" Naruto looked over and saw Anko as clear as day like she hadn't aged a single day since he last saw her.

"Wow I'm losing it I'm seeing things." Naruto then turned his attention to Kurenai.

The woman wasn't paying any attention to Naruto though she was looking directly at Anko's form. "Anko-chan your alive, I'm so happy." Kurenai gave a bloody smile at her friend as she closed her eyes happy her best friend was alive.

"Wait you saw her to then this isn't a illusion." Naruto looked over to the spot Anko was in a saw she was gone. "Anko-sensei?" the chakra cloak vanished from him as she jumped from on top of the woman and ran in the direction of Anko's last know location. "Anko-sensei!...ANKO-SENSEI!" Naruto yelled out but there was no response nothing at all.

Naruto gave a deep sigh. "We were both seeing things I guess, I mean she hadn't aged a day if she were alive she would look older." Naruto punched a tree nearby. "I'm a idiot, I went through that hell training and the first time I see an illusion of her I freak out."

Naruto walked back to Kurenai's location to find that the woman was gone only a pile of blood where she had been laying. "There's no way she got up on her own."


Authors note


Ok quick poll time.

Will it be ok if I skim over some of the canon fights like Neji/Hinata, Rock Lee vs Gaara as those fights will be the same as the anime and would probably set back the release of the next chapter by at least 4 days since I have a big dislike of writing things that happened directly in the anime without adding anything of my own in there.

Yes or No?

Also one last thing quick thing on the harem it's right now set to 5 people not including Naruto there may be other added if I think the 5 women are becoming boring but until I get those 5 set with Naruto everything else relationship wise with him will be held off.
