Hiruzen sat rigid in his chair, facing the three powerful shinobi in front of him. The second the three of them walked in, they had called for an absolutely private meeting. Hiruzen called off his ANBU guards, and activated a security seal hidden on his desk. He waited patiently as Hashirama sent out a burst of chakra to scan for eavesdroppers.

"We're secure." Hashirama said, calling back his chakra. Madara nodded to Tobirama, who stepped towards Hiruzen.

"Hiruzen, we have grave news." Hiruzen's eyebrows raised high. "Five days ago, in the Forest of Death, we were almost separated from the Genin of Team 7 by an overpowered Wind Jutsu. I ran off and helped Sakura while Nii-san helped Naruto." Hiruzen's brow furrowed as he thought. Calling for absolute privacy just to tell him about an overpowered wind user and that Team 7 had been split for a few minutes?

"That is not the worst part." Madara cut in, his Sharingan slowly spinning to life. "I went after Sasuke, and after finding him, we waited for the others. After about two minutes, I felt a... powerful chakra signature. Sasuke could not feel it, but I could. A powerful shinobi had infiltrated the Exam, and was targeting a specific member of Team 7. Sasuke-kun." Hiruzen's eyes narrowed. The Konoha Chunin Exams had been infiltrated, and Konoha's only alive Uchiha targeted?

"Who was it. Who infiltrated my village and threatened my genin!" Hiruzen shouted, though he had a feeling he knew exactly who they were talking about. The three older shinobi glanced at each other, before Madara cleared his throat to continue.

"His chakra felt sinister, strange. Corrupted. There was a hint of Hashirama's chakra signature within it as well." Madara gave Hashirama a meaningful glare as Hashirama grumbled something obscene. "But that's not all. I could tell that he had a summoning contract. With the Snakes." Hiruzen's vision tinged red and he growled, voice thick with guilt and anger,

"Orochimaru."


A/N: Ahem. In response to a bunch of reviews stating the same thing over and over, Naruto doesn't know that he can make the Three Revived Ninja to do his bidding. Do you people really believe that Naruto bothered to read the instructions to the Edo Tensei? He's Naruto. He just did that hand seals.

Also, the Three Revived Ninja wouldn't allow Naruto to control them. Naruto can influence them, but he can't outright control them. Naruto is not a sealmaster, and he cannot recreate Orochimaru's method of controlling Revived shinobi.

Hope that cleared some questions up. The next chapter should be up sometime tomorrow night.
