Naruto Uzumaki: Rise To Greatness
..."My name is Kin. Kin Tsuchi. I will do anything you ask of me. Just don't kill me." She knew exactly what the two were talking about. The sound village was cruel. She was no stranger to sexual contact and to her credit, didn't even blush. "Seal her, Ruto. We'll figure this out another time." The Uzumaki sighed but did what he was told. "Anko. I am going to talk with her later. If she wishes to leave, I will release her. No questions asked. We are not running a slave ring. Do you understand me," he asked sternly.
AN: I guess two chapters a week is too much of a challenge for me. I am becoming increasingly busy. My apologies. I'll do what I can, nonetheless.

Chapter 28: An Assault On The Leaf Village
Flashback
After a long day, Naruto had unsealed the sound girl. She looked up at him from her seated position on the floor. "Just who the hell are you? You're no genin, that's for sure." The young Uzumaki chuckled. It would have been much easier if he was dealing with an idiot. Unfortunately, that was not the case. "My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I suppose it is meaningless to try to hide my identity from you. Orochimaru already knows that much. Now. I do not wish to imprison you. You may leave at any time."
Kin was faced with a situation she did not understand. Naruto didn't seem like he wanted to use her for sex. Or even for information. As far as she knew, once an enemy had was no longer useful to their captor, you were to dispose of them. It's how things were done in the hidden sound village... The freedom he was offering could be a lie. No. He genuinely meant it. "You are strange, Naruto Uzumaki... While I appreciate your kindness, I can't return to Orochimaru. That would be a death sentence. He does not tolerate failure and by losing my teammates I have done just that. Failed him. I think I will follow you, for now at least."

Chunin Exam Stadium - One Month Later
"The first match between Naruto Uzumaki & Neji Hyuuga will now begin." Naruto rose his hand. "I forfeit." One by one the matches ended before anything could happen at all. Unfortunately, there was a leaf-nin in every match so they wouldn't be able to get the enemy to waste chakra fighting themselves. Up in the Kage booth, the Kazekage was suspicious. "Lord Hokage, isn't this a time for your village to show off their upcoming ninja? What is the meaning of this?" The old man smirked. "Nice try, Orochimaru."
Feathers began to rain down from the sky signaling a genjutsu being cast over the arena. Metallic clanging could be heard as kunai clashed against one another. The snake man seized this opportunity to bring the third into his barrier. "I hope you've named a successor, old man. Because today is the day that you die." He leapt back and Hiruzen chuckled. "Orochimaru, for someone so bright you are a fool!" The illusion melted away and Obito stood tall, taking the third's place. "You think I would just stand by and let you kill him? It is you who will die here!" Orochimaru clenched his teeth. He had heard a bit about this Obito, character. There was a file on him but all it said was that he led Naruto's genin team. Wait a minute.
"According to the information on you I stole, you're in charge of a genin team consisting of Naruto Uzumaki, Anko Mitarashi, & Yukimi Iburi. I met up with an ANBU unit in the forest of death. I was only able to determine two of their identities which just so happen to be your subordinates. I'm willing to bet that the third person of that ANBU group was your third genin. What a strange coincidence that I would also encounter you here. You must be someone very important. I'm quite lucky I have the chance to eliminate you. After I do that, I can deal with the old man. Summoning jutsu!" Coffins arose from the ground. They were marked, first, second and fourth. The doors swung open dramatically and smoke poured out.
Flashback
The divine being had met with Obito once more. He had tried to bring back the previous Hokage with his life note page. "Obito, there is one condition I have if you intend to use that for people so powerful. There must be balance in the world. If you bring them back, you must also revive the same amount of Kage for villages you are not allied with. A temporary revival is also acceptable in exchange for the return of a less powerful enemy. I leave this choice up to you."
Flashback End
The empty coffins collapsed and disappeared. "Are you surprised, Orochimaru? I know all about your resurrection technique and have countered it quite effectively. In case you haven't been informed, we have an alliance with the cloud village in the land of lightning. They were more than happy to assist us in our time of need, despite our past differences. I even found the ditch you dropped the Kazekage's body into. As we speak, the hidden sand loses morale. I have made arrangements for the body to be displayed to all. They will not fight while knowing that their leader is dead. Your sound ninja can't hope to stand against a single major village alone, but two of them? It's over. You lose!" The sannin member charged in frustration, drawing the grass cutter in hopes of slicing through Obito.
