(Chapter 23: Time for an Exam)
It was now July as Gohan had returned from having defeated the pretender that was Jinin Akebino and having finally lost his virginity to Tsunami, the Necromancer was all things considered feeling pretty great about his life right now. With him returning to Konoha in good spirits from having protected what was rightfully in his possession and had during this time proceeded to work on finishing out on his Blacksmith profession, with him reaching the level cap of 80 which had only added to his good mood.
Yet even with all of this good fortune in his life he was mostly gearing up for one thing that was finally at hand and that was the Chunin Exams and the invasion that would follow it, as he knew full well that it was going to be at this point where things would take a mass shift in gears.
(July 9th, 998 S.E, Forest of Death, 9:45 Am)
It was a quarter till 10 in the morning as Gohan was finishing his training regiment since he wanted to be in as good shape as possible for what was to come during both the exams and the subsequent invasion.
"Well, at least I'm in good enough shape for the Chunin Exams. But the one thing that still sucks is that I don't have a god-forsaken earth affinity." Gohan spoke in cursing the fact that he wasn't able to have built up an earth affinity which would've been far more useful than his water affinity
Alright since your wanting an earth affinity, I'm willing to make a deal with you in order to gain it.
"Alright, what's the deal?" Gohan questioned curiously
Simple. I'll trade you your current water affinity for an Earth Affinity that's 15 levels higher than it.
"That doesn't sound all that bad. However, I'm sensing a but coming along, so what's the catch to all of this?" Gohan cautiously asked in knowing that deals like this always came with a catch that was attached to it
The catch is that if I do this you'll have to deal with a little modification I made to Gaara, that I felt would amuse me. You agreeing to this trade means that you will have to deal with this version of Gaara's attention being towards you, for certain reasons.
"Well, I can more or less handle Gaara right now. Alright, fuck it why not." Gohan agreed as he soon felt a shift in himself in feeling more stalwart and grounded
Have fun with your newfound Earth Affinity, and as for Gaara...I won't spoil too much for you. So the only thing I have to say is glad they don't know where you live...for now at least.
'Well, that doesn't sound ominous at all..' Gohan thought to himself as he felt so much better
That in mind he used the Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu thrice over and ordered them to start training with the newfound and potent affinity, along with coming up with some new techniques to help in the defensive department along with some A.O.E techniques. So with that out of the way he went to go see how Anko was doing, which wasn't too hard to find considering that she was the only busty, purple-haired amazon of a woman in the village.
"Hey Anko, how ya doing?" Gohan asked as to how the violet haired amazon was doing
"Hey Gohan, I've been doing fantastic. Especially because I just got done showing some punk-ass chunin there place in the pecking order." Anko answered as she pointed over to the quintet of Chunin who were sprawled out as though they went 8 rounds with Mike Tyson
"Well seeing as how they probably got what they deserved, then good on you that you kicked the dog-shit out of them." Gohan said as he briefly looked at the still groaning Chunin's
"Anyways, what did you come here for? Since I'm guessing its not have some 'fun' is it, because if it is then we can be at my house in about 10 minutes." Anko wondered as to what Gohan wanted considering that if they were gonna mess around then they could be at her place in no time
"Put a pin in that for next time, as I've got two things to tell you." Gohan spoke since he'd do more of their 'fun' at a later date
"Well go on and spill the beans already!" Anko told him in wanting to know what it was that Gohan had to tell her
"For one my team and I are in the Chunin Exams. Which means that as of right now I'll be getting my own Chunin vest soon. Besides, I'll get to go on better missions to boot." Gohan responded since he was all too happy to be promoted to Chunin because if he had to chase that cat one more time he was gonna skin it alive
"Well good for you Gohan and since your so excited about the exams, I'm gonna be a proctor for it." Anko said with a mischievous grin of her own
'Oh that's right Anko does become a proctor for the Exams, you'd think with all that I've changed so far that something would've changed.' Gohan thought to himself in remembering that in canon Anko would be a proctor during the 2nd part of the exams
"Which part of the exams are you gonna be a proctor for?" Gohan inquired
"The 2nd part and my favorite one, especially because I have the opportunity to make things a lot more interesting this time around." Anko answered back as she'd already gotten the go-ahead to be proctor and do whatever she wanted concerning this part
"Interesting that you bring that up because I've been making some booby traps that I've been spreading out through the Forest of Death. Since my clones and I have gotten around to making 35% of it have some nasty surprises." Gohan told her as he pulled from his backpack a map of what he'd covered so far with traps here and there
"After all, Anko what's the point of having these exams if things are too easy for everyone. Since I want to make them all work for that Chunin vest...that and I really don't like the majority of Kurenai's team of Neji Hyuuga, so watching them struggle makes it far more enjoyable to me as well." Gohan added with a sinister chuckle of his own, as he figured that his competition shouldn't get off too easily like they had in canon, that and he wanted to make some of them go through the ringer as well
"Gohan...its times like these where I realize that you are the best boyfriend I've had." Anko spoke as her inner sadist was turned on by the fact that all these punk-ass genin would be squealing like pigs with what Gohan had planned
"Thanks, and anyways this is as good as I could get in terms of having them deal with all of what I had planned. So feel free to check some of them out, since I'm always looking for ways to improve them." Gohan replied as he was more than happy to have any sort of constructive criticism on what he's done
"Don't worry I will, because anything to make these little genin squeal and suffer is something I'll be more than happy to do." Anko excitedly told him as anything she could do to help with this endeavor, she'd do so without a moment's hesitation
"Great to hear Anko. Also, I've got other good news to tell you." Gohan said while the amazon of a sadist was pocketing the map he made
"Well, what's the good news that you've got to tell me?" Anko questioned as to what the good news could possibly be
"Alright, remember how I've been studying up on Fuinjutsu for around several months...give or take a few days?" Gohan asked her as she nodded in response
"Well, it just so happens that I may have finally reached a breakthrough in figuring out how to break your seal." Gohan added causing Anko to do a double-take upon hearing that
"Are you trying to fuck with me or are you actually serious about this?" Anko questioned as she wasn't playing around in any capacity
"Nope, I've made a breakthrough that soon enough will have you curse mark free." Gohan answered back
With it being thanks to a combination of Kurama's vast knowledge, his own intelligence and innate skill with Fuinjutsu that he was able to reach a breakthrough in breaking Anko's seal, with him being able to finally able to do the deed by the time the preliminaries were over.
"I..I can't believe this...finally I'm gonna be rid of him." Anko said as the thought of finally getting rid of that last remnant of Orochimaru caused her voice to almost choke up
"Like I told you from the start, that I'll always do right by you." Gohan responded before he was soon wrapped up in a bear-hug courtesy of a very happy Anko
"Thank you Gohan, thank you, thank you, thank you!" A very happy Anko told him while she squeezed him and despite the height difference managed to lift him off the ground
'H-How is she this fucking strong?' Gohan wondered to himself as one thing he'd note about Anko is her high amount of physical strength
"So how long do ya think it's gonna take before you can do it?!" Anko excitedly asked as to when Gohan could get started
"It'll probably be after the 2nd part of the exams is completely over and done with, that I'll be able to do it for you. Since I want it to go off without a hitch." Gohan answered back because he wanted to make sure that the process of breaking the curse seal would go without fail
"...Fine I can wait a bit longer, but still thanks for doing this for me Gohan." Anko thanked him in being elated to hear that she'd have a chance of getting rid of this burden on her neck
"No problem. Anyways, are we still down for tomorrow tonight?" Gohan questioned the busty sadist
"You bet we are! I still can't be how much fun doing all that stuff is, besides I wanna take on one of those mini-bosses on and see if I can get anything new off any of em'." Anko told him with her being very much excited to go demon slaying once again
"Excellent! Who knew that this is what would equate to us going on our date nights." Gohan spoke as he never thought he'd see the day when demon-slaying would count among his date nights, but he wasn't going to argue
"Well, I'll see you later Gohan, as I've got so much fun to prep for the exams," Anko told him with a nearly sinister-looking smile before using her great deal of strength to jump away like she was the Incredible Hulk
'Man having Anko as my girlfriend is awesome.' Gohan thought to himself before going elsewhere
(6 hours later, Uchiha Compound, 3:52 Pm)
It was hours later before Gohan was having lunch at the Uchiha Compound with Yakumo and Sasuke, whom to him was the true Team 7 as they would've gotten rid of Sakura; however, her mother had made enough of a fuss to the Hokage that she was kept on.
"Well everyone we've now made it to the big leagues," Gohan spoke while he brought Yakumo and Sasuke over their drinks after they finished eating lunch together
"Not to mention that this will show everyone what the really Team 7 is capable of." Sasuke added considering that he'd been waiting for the Chunin Exams for a long time now
"What about that cotton candy haired banshee that we're supposed to call a teammate?" Yakumo questioned pertaining to the weakest link of Team 7
"What about Sakura exactly? All she is and ever will be is a useless lump of flesh that's only good for blocking kunai, arrows or anything else that befits the role of being a meat shield." Sasuke callously remarked at the fact that Sakura was only good for being a meat shield and nothing more
"That's the thing Sasuke. Despite her being useful as a meat shield, as she's really effective at stalling long enough for me to get my larger scale illusions off whenever we're out on missions. Even still the fact remains that we're going to be saddled with her during the Chunin Exams and having to cover our asses, because she'll no doubt be some damsel in distress because she can't get her shit together. So my question is what are we gonna about her?" Yakumo questioned as to what they were gonna do about the loudmouthed meat-shield
"It's pretty obvious as to what we should do." Gohan answered back
"What are you getting on about?" Sasuke questioned the necromancer
"Well I think it's safe to say that it'll look a little bit suspicious if we just up and killed our own teammate during these exams, but that doesn't mean she can't have a bit of an accident." Gohan answered back with a malicious smile crossing his face
"I mean all it will really take is one look at Sasuke's Sharingan and it won't be our fault if Sakura just so happens to wander into the woods and gets herself eaten, or better yet walks off into one of the traps I've set." Gohan suggested as a viable way to get rid of Sakura
"That's actually a pretty good idea. Since she's still hopelessly in love with me, that I won't have to try so hard to manipulate her with my Sharingan. If anything she's been perfect to test out more fascinating parts of mine and Yakumo's illusions and the mental aspects of what we can do." Sasuke responded gaining the necromancer's attention upon hearing that
"I never would've expected the two of you to have bonded over stuff like that." Gohan said while Yakumo gave a small smile
"That's the thing Gohan, we've been doing a lot of bonding lately. Since believe it or not it turns out we have a few things in common." Yakumo spoke considering that during their time together they realized they had a number of things in common with each other
That being the fact that they were both driven by vengeance, liked pushing the limits of their bloodlines, and going for walks together; along with the fact that both had managed to get the other into some of their shared interests in the time they've spent bonding. That being for Yakumo managing to get Sasuke to come around to painting and often seeing the avenger let a small smile come across his face when he'd paint, while with Yakumo she'd learned that one of the other hobbies that he'd grown to have was archery in having taught her how to use a shortbow.
"Good that the two of you have gotten along so well...I bet that your fangirls must be foaming at the mouth when they see the two of you together." Gohan said chuckling a bit to himself in knowing that Sasuke's fangirls could act like a pack of wild animals sometimes
"They could try to do something about it, but then it'd wind up with them comatose from my illusions." Yakumo stated almost casually at the fact that she refused to let any of those useless skanks get near the guy she's been getting close to for months
"I'd actually would like to see that happen. Still, in any case, is there anyone whom we shouldn't go after in the exams? Because if there's anyone that you don't want to get eviscerated once we really get started then say your piece." Gohan questioned considering that once they got started then there was no undoing the carnage that was to be done
"I'd like Team Kurenai to be one of the ones we don't eviscerate." Yakumo said catching the necromancer and avenger by surprise upon saying this
"Any reason why you wouldn't want for us to go ahead and kill them?" Sasuke asked in wondering why Yakumo would have them spare Team Kurenai
"First and foremost its not out of any shred of mercy or kindness that I want them alive. However, I want to do this so I can torment Hinata and her death would rob me of the sweet joys of breaking her spirit and her mind. Besides, an added bonus to this is that Gohan gets to turn that Inuzuka who gets on my last nerve into mincemeat." Yakumo explained as to why she wanted Kurenai's team left alive, not out of being merciful, but because she wanted to be able to torment Hinata until it either broke her spirit or mind or until it caused her to commit suicide
"You make a compelling point. Besides, the idea of my tearing Kiba apart until there's nothing left but his blood and guts all over the place in a public setting sounds great to me." Gohan replied as the idea of using his zweihander to dismantle Kiba in a public setting or at least viciously maim him made him very happy
"Now then that only leaves Sasuke, as to whom he wants left alive." Gohan spoke as his attention turned towards Sasuke who had a thoughtful look on his face
"There is one team in particular from Kusagakure that has my attention, or rather the person on said team. Since it we can get them on our side then we'll have a competent healer and medic on our side." Sasuke responded considering that there was one he'd been keeping his eye on as of late
"What makes their abilities as a healer and medic, so good that she's got your attention?" Yakumo asked; curious to know what made this person in particular so special for
"The reason being is that she's an Uzumaki like you Gohan." Sasuke spoke before taking out some pictures he'd taken of the Uzumaki in question
"Her name is Karin Uzumaki and out of the trio she's with isn't only a talented healer, but her life-force is potent enough to where she can use it to heal others of their injuries." Sasuke added as he showed some pictures of Karin that he'd taken being either by herself or with her teammates
"How did you find all this out Sasuke?" Gohan questioned as to how his right-hand found this information out
"Simple. I saw their sensei was in a drunken stupor and taking advantage of the situation; I used my Sharingan and extensively put him under hypnosis. From there I had him spill everything about his team and Karin in general and after getting what I needed I then had to push my abilities of it to their limit and subsequently wipe his mind of the encounter." Sasuke answered back as to how he obtained the information about Karin
"Well, the only thing I can say about that is, you are very efficient at getting info." Gohan spoke considering that he was a bit surprised at Sasuke's ability to gather information
"That's one of the few things people in our generation really take for granted and that is stealth. Something of which I've also been helping Yakumo with and turns out she has a natural affinity for it." Sasuke replied as Yakumo nodded in agreement
"It also helps that my illusions aid in my going unseen and unheard. Honestly, you'd think that as soldiers and assassins we'd learn how to be stealthy for once." Yakumo said as she'd taken to also learning how to be silent and go unheard as part of her training
"Alright so in addition to being great with genjutsu your also shaping up to be a splendid assassin. Well, I think we'll have no problems in decimating the competition. So unless we have any other suggestions, then I think we can call this meeting to a close." Gohan responded as neither Sasuke or Yakumo had anything else to add so with that in mind the Necromancer departed from the premises with a broad smile on his face
'Well the good news for me is that I'm gonna be getting quite a substantial addition to my horde.' Gohan thought to himself at the fact he'd be gaining a numbers boost to his horde soon enough
(2 days later, Konoha, July 11th, 998 S.E, 1:45 Pm)
It was a few days later as Gohan was atop the Hokage Monument in wondering which class he should go for now that he'd completed his Blacksmithing class, with him being stuck between Alchemist for the number of potions he could make and Engineer for all the tech-based goodies he'd be able to create.
'Well..I guess there's only one way to settle this.' Gohan thought to himself as he pulled out a coin from his pocket
"Heads for Alchemist and Tails for Engineer," Gohan said before flipping the coin into the air
Thanks to Gohan's great amount of strength the coin went soaring a few dozen feet into the air like a metallic bullet, with it being moments before it soon descended downwards and landed in his palm where he saw that it was on heads.
'Well, Alchemist it is then.' Gohan thought to himself as he pulled up the production class selection and selected Alchemist and went to see about how his stamina and health potions would stack up
You've now selected the Alchemist Class.
You gain 5 INT per level of this class. Level 1/50
The following recipes have been unlocked. Health, Stamina and Mana Potion Recipes
Health Potion Recipe
Restores (Alchemist level X 2)% of the drinker's health
Ingredients: 2 items with the restore health effect
Stamina Potion Recipe
Restores (Alchemist level X 2)% of the drinker's stamina
Ingredients: 2 items with the restore stamina effect
Create Potion
MP Cost: 240 per potion created
You get to create a potion from those on your recipe list
"Well it may not be much at a starter level, but its still good enough." Gohan said to himself as he knew it wasn't much now, but it would still be something else once he hit the higher levels
'In any case, I might as well put my clones to work so I can get started on stockpiling potions.' Gohan thought to himself as he used Multi Shadow Clone jutsu to make 50 clones
"Alright listen up, because I'm only going to say this once. I want one half of you to get started on gathering ingredients for potions and then the other half will get started on producing them. Are these orders made clear to you?" Gohan ordered his shadow clones
"Sir yes, Sir!" The shadow clones chorused before vanishing
"Well, this was a productive use of my day, now what else is there that I could do." Gohan wondered to himself as to what he should do
"Let's see there's the jinchuuriki of Shukaku's siblings causing a ruckus with your teammates if you want to do anything about it." Kurama suggested considering that they sensed the negative emotions of Temari and Kankuro near Sakura and Sasuke
"Well then how about I give them a greeting then." Gohan said as he soon leaped from the Hokage Monument and onto an adjacent building
That in mind he began to leap from building to building like he was the Incredible Hulk until he soon crashed down on where Sasuke and Gaara's siblings were, with him doing so via doing a superhero landing that caused a small crater in the ground and took a small chunk of his health in the process.
'Definitely worth 1,800 health.' Gohan thought to himself as he dusted himself off
"Hey, Sasuke how ya doing?" Gohan questioned while Sasuke had a hand on one of his rapiers
"I was doing fine until this cretin who by the looks of it likes wearing makeup started making a mess of things by picking on the Hokage's grandson. Personally, I think he's a drag queen in the making." Sasuke remarked causing Kankuro to grind his teeth in anger
"Its goddamn war-paint!" Kankuro furiously exclaimed
"What it does look like is that you're auditioning to be a dominatrix's gimp. Especially, since the bodysuit and makeup really doesn't help your case." Gohan retorted causing Kankuro's face to burn red with anger while Temari laughed at the jab towards her brother's masculinity
"How dare you! Don't you know who I am?!" Kankuro seethed
"It's like I just told you, you're a closet crossdresser who gets off on picking on little kids. Then again what my friend here does also make sense considering that you do look like you would be someone's gimp. Honestly, Gohan you'd think that if he was any self-respecting ninja that he'd dress like one and not like he's ready to go work at the world's shadiest strip club." Sasuke spoke causing a vein to pop up on Kankuro's forehead out of sheer anger
"Sasuke whatever he's into is not our business, so let's not kink shame him any further than he already has been," Gohan added while the puppeteer was now red-faced with anger
"That tears it! I didn't I'd use this on a bunch little bastards like you but now your gonna pay!" Kankuro exclaimed as he wasn't gonna let some tree-hugging bastards make fun of him
"Well, this should be entertaining to watch Sasuke slashing Kankuro into bits." Gohan thought to himself before he felt a strong amount of bloodlust
"Kankuro what do you think you're doing." A voice spoke that caused him and Temari to freeze-up in terror of the all-too-familiar voice
"Oh shit, its Gaara!" Temari and Kankuro thought as their younger sibling appeared from seemingly out of nowhere
"Answer question now Kankuro or the ground gets repainted in your blood." Gaara's voice spoke as soon enough they came into view causing Gohan's eyes to widen
'What the fuck, Gaara's a fucking girl.' Gohan thought to himself in shock
While this version of Gaara wore the same clothes her canon counterpart did except more form-fitting to show her feminine form as well as there being something off-putting that creeped Gohan out when he saw her. With her having longer brick-red hair that went a few inches past her shoulders, her pupilless bloodshot teal colored eyes having bloodlust, stoicness and something else he couldn't put his finger on, her having a slender yet still curvaceous figure with a C-cup bust that stood proudly on her chest, wide hips and a rather bubbly rear.
"I-I was just showing that little brat over, t-to respect his elders." Kankuro near stuttered out with all bravado and prior rage having quickly been extinguished under the gaze of his youngest sister
"You wasted time on bullying children..you are a disgrace to our village. If I didn't need you for the exams, you would be dead on the spot right now." Gaara told him with her voice despite not being outwardly angry the heavy amount of bloodlust underlying it made it not a thinly veiled threat but very much a guarantee
"Also, why didn't you stop any of this Temari? Especially when we have more important things to concern ourselves with than Kankuro's incessant need to prove he's a man." Gaara questioned her elder sister as to why she didn't stop Kankuro from wasting their time
"I-I can explain." Temari answered back near fearfully of her sister's wrath
"Yes, you will. However, the both of you return to the hotel with Baki-sensei now. Have I made myself clear?" Gaara ordered her siblings who not wanting to risk Gaara's anger immediately returned to the hotel before Gaara turned towards Sasuke and Gohan
"What's your name?" Gaara questioned with her eyes locking onto Gohan in particular
"My name is Gohan Uzumaki, why do you want to know." Gohan wondered before Garra strode over to him and stared at him with those piercing teal eyes
"I've heard so much about you and you interest me. Mother may want your blood, but I want to know more about you." Gaara spoke before her pale hands grasped Gohan's face to make him look her dead in the eyes
'Why do I feel so creeped out.' Gohan thought to himself at being unnerved by Gaara
"I'll be seeing more of you in the exams Gohan Uzumaki because you're just like me and soon enough I'll have you no matter what." Gaara said as what creeped Gohan out was the fact that he now saw a small smile on his fellow jinchuuriki's face
"Alright, well that's nice and all, however, I think you should go ahead and catch up with your teammates." Gohan told her as he felt really creeped out by the female version of Gaara
"Thank you for reminding me of that, as I need to talk to them about wasting time. However, I expect to see more of you during the Chunin Exams. Until next time Gohan Uzumaki, I'll be seeing you very soon." Gaara spoke as Gohan had figured out that what he saw in Gaara's eyes besides mania and bloodthirst was lust that was directed at him before she disappeared in a sand shunshin
"Are you ok Gohan?" Sasuke asked the necromancer who still looked creeped out
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just..just a bit uneasy after that is all." Gohan answered back in having found himself been creeped out by the female Gaara
"Do you want me to follow them?" Sasuke questioned
"No, besides we still have to finish up our game plan for the Exams." Gohan answered back
"Anyways, I'll see you and Yakumo later tonight for team meetings." Gohan added as Sasuke nodded and Gohan went off elsewhere
Well looks like you found out that surprise I've been working on.
"Wait a minute you mean to tell me that Gaara being a girl is your doing?" Gohan questioned the system
Ding, ding, ding we have a winner. You're correct my making Gaara female was my doing, but I also did a little something extra to her as well.
"What the fuck did you do?" Gohan questioned the system whom he could've swore was laughing inside of his mind
Oh that's simple. I may or may not have made her a Yandere that likes you in particular. I thought it'd be an amusing change up and I was right it was.
"...What the fuck is wrong with you?" Gohan wondered
Hey when we agreed on the trade for your Earth Affinity, you said you wouldn't bitch about it. Besides, now you and Gaara are gonna be getting to know each other really well during the exams.
"Yeah that's if she doesn't either try to give Shukaku my blood or try to kidnap me and do who knows what to me." Gohan spoke considering that it was gonna be hot mess trying to deal with a Yandere female Gaara on top of everything else
Well, in any case, have fun with her. Hey, who knows maybe you can get lucky with this one like you did with the hot piece of as in Wave.
'Great. Now I gotta figure out how to not stick my dick in crazy.' Gohan thought to himself in knowing that with having to deal with a Yandere Gaara this was gonna be one hell of a clusterfuck
(July 13th, 998 S.E, 2 days later, Konoha, 2:10 Pm)
It was another few days later before Team 7 had arrived at the area where the 1st Part of the Exams would be taking place, with Yakumo having seen past the illusion used to dupe the other genin teams and soon enough they quickly headed up the stairs.
"Well, at least we've got decent competition," Gohan said as he saw a number of genin teams with them
"It also seems as though this competition is trying to intimidate us. Pathetic maggots the lot of them." Sasuke scoffed at the pathetic amount of killer intent lobbied at them
"What do you guys want to do about it? Since Sakura if off bickering with Ino, that just leaves the 3 of us to do what we want." Gohan questioned his teammates
"How about we show them what killing intent really looks like. After all, I think they should know what it and knowing fear really looks like." Yakumo suggested in thinking that it would be a great idea to show them what killing intent and fear really looked like
"Excellent idea Yakumo. On the count of 3 we let them have it in full effect." Gohan said with a malevolent grin on his face
That in mind Gohan counted from 3 and soon enough they let out their own killing intent which was made all the more potent with Yakumo using her illusory prowess to make the effects of it seem all the more powerful. With everyone either being brought to their knees or breaking out into a cold sweat from the combined killing intent as terror filled their hearts, yet throughout all of this there was one person who wasn't brought to their knees or feel fear from any of this and it was Gaara who looked more turned on than anything.
'I want him, I want him, I want him now!' Gaara thought to herself as she felt aroused by the display of terror that Gohan had orchestrated
"Well, I think that ought to show them who's boss." Gohan stated as they ended the wave of killing intent
"Gohan...why the fuck..would you do that?!" Tenten's voice rang out as she was in a thin sheet of cold sweat from the sheer amount of killing intent
"How'd you know it was me?" Gohan questioned
"Only you would be crazy enough to do something like this. By the way, what possessed you to even think of doing this in the first place?!" Tenten questioned as to what would possess the necromancer that thinking scaring everyone nearly half to death was such a great idea
"That's easy Tenten. I wanted to let all these idiots know who was on the pecking order and this seemed like the best way of doing so. After all, they gotta learn that their place is beneath me sooner or later." Gohan told her as to why he unleashed the wave of killing intent onto everyone
"...Sometimes I wonder why you have to be as you put it, such a mad lad." Tenten spoke while Gohan chuckled at the description of himself
"Well, for the most part because its stupid fun." Gohan replied as he saw Rock Lee otherwise unaffected
"By the way, how is it that he isn't affected by what I and my team did?" Gohan added in wondering how the up and coming taijutsu specialist wasn't affected by the combined killing intent
"Honestly, I don't know. At this point I'll concede to it being because of his Flames of Youth." Tenten responded considering that it was more or less thanks to Rock Lee's supposed Flames of Youth that he wasn't really scared of anything
"In any case, I'm happy you and Rock Lee are gonna be in the Exams...Neji not so much" Gohan spoke as he was happy that Rock Lee and Tenten would be participating, but Neji he wasn't so happy about
"The same could be said about you and Sakura. Is it a bad thing that I hope something bad happens to Neji and Sakura because anything to shut either one of them would be a godsend." Tenten wondered considering how her patience with Neji was at this point, paper-thin
"Not really. I mean to be perfectly honest do they have anyone that really likes them at this point?" Gohan responded considering that at this point did anyone really like Neji or Sakura
"I don't think so considering that even Lee has started to get fed up with Neji's attitude and he has enough patience to equal Neji's ego." Tenten told him as even the ever-enthusiastic Rock Lee was getting tired of Neji's arrogance and belief in fate
"Wow, you know you're doing something wrong when even Rock Lee is getting tired of your shit." Gohan spoke surprised that even the Youthful Green Beast was getting tired of Neji
"Even still good luck Tenten. Since I'm still gonna beat you in the final part to all of this." Gohan added while Tenten had a large smile on her face
"You can damn well try Gohan, but you're gonna have to earn that victory. Especially since you aren't the only one who has a few new tricks up their sleeve." Tenten replied while in her excitement small bolts of electricity briefly arced between her fingers
"I'll hold you too that Tenten, anyways I'm gonna regroup with everyone, so I'll see you later." Gohan told her as he walked back towards Sasuke and Yakumo
"Alright you guys, so how are we looking concerning our competition?" Gohan questioned his two teammates in particular
"Well, that Sound team looks like a bunch of cocky bastards. With their schtick being more than obvious if the one with the extremely douchey haircut wouldn't stop bragging about how better they are is anything to go off on. However, its nothing we can't handle." Yakumo told him as the team from Otogakure she briefly encountered wasn't anything too difficult they couldn't handle
"Good to know. Anything else you'd want to bring up?" Gohan questioned the illusionist
"Apparently, that crazy redhead from Suna that seems to be interested in you asked this guy named Kabuto on some info on you. From there, once she heard that you've done a shit-ton of missions...more of which I'm surprised you've done and well Gohan. Let's just say that when she heard of the bloodshed you've been up too she looked more or less turned on by it." Yakumo answered back making Gohan cringe at the fact that when he briefly looked towards Gaara her eyes still had lust that was now a good deal more potent than before
"...I really gotta work on making sure that she can't get to Tenten or Anko because I'm not fucking around with a yandere Gaara." Gohan thought to himself in knowing that he'd have to start getting things started on safeguarding Anko and Tenten from Gaara should she come for them
"Well at least we know who were giving a clear birth. Alright, Sasuke any good news you've got?" Gohan asked the avenger
"I do actually. It just so happens that I had managed Karin to very likely come to our side." Sasuke responded gaining Gohan's attention
"Really? How'd you do that?" Gohan asked wondering how Sasuke managed this
"Simple really. It turns out that Karin isn't all that well-liked by her teammates, with her having told me of how she constantly gets made fun of or used to heal her teammates or sensei for even simply flesh wounds. Suffice to say, all she needs is not that much prodding and she'll join us soon enough." Sasuke replied as to the fact that Karin wouldn't need much to betray her team
Since the avenger could see it as plain as day that Karin hated being on her team; through the sheer resentment, anger and hate she had for being stuck with them and knew that all she needed was a good enough reason to leave them for good.
"Did you give her a means to contact us, for when she wants us to come and take her away?" Gohan questioned while Sasuke nodded
"Yes. I gave her a modified flare that would alert us to her location is and from there we can eliminate them." Sasuke answered back in having made sure to give her the modded flare, so that when the time came she'd give the signal for them to come and welcome her into the fold
"All that really can be said on that subject, is great work Sasuke." Gohan congratulated his right-hand who let a smirk cross his face at that
Soon enough the 1st part of the Exams proceeded in standard fare like the original with Ibiki showing up trying to intimidate all of them, before giving them the tests and telling them to commence doing so. With Gohan easily flying through the test portion considering that he was far above average in terms of intelligence, meanwhile, Sasuke and Yakumo were able to go through the exams by their own means of passing through it.
Sasuke using his eyesight to occasionally glance off of Shikamaru's own test paper, while Yakumo made subtle use of illusions to get Sakura to write her name on her own finished paper and give it to Yakumo before working on it herself. With minutes passing while teams were being dropped after being so blatantly caught cheating, yet time soon expired for everyone who was furiously writing down their final answers before Ibiki gave them the whole schtick about the 10th question.
With the necromancer having to give credit for Ibiki hamming up the intimidation part of it, so as to weed out any weak-willed fools who thought that this was gonna be a sunshine and rainbows filled walk in the park which had caused several more teams to drop out in the process. Which left the rest to have turned in their papers to Ibiki on his desk, all the while the heavily scarred tokubetsu jonin gave them a cruel unflinching stare that let them know that they were maggots he could easily grind beneath his heel.
Once that was all said and done Anko soon came bursting through the window like an absolute madwoman and soon enough landed on her feet where soon enough a banner read The Sexy and Not so Single Anko Mitarshi. With that happening Gohan and Yakumo who had heard about the rather eccentric sadist had prepared scorecards for this occasion, as Gohan held up an 8.5 out of 10 and Yakumo a 6.5 out of 10 for her entrance.
"What the hell! That was definitely better than a 7 out of 10." Anko said feeling her pride take a hit at the score Yakumo gave her
"Well, it would've looked a lot better if you had gone all out for it. Let's see.. you could've added fireworks, maybe come in riding on one of your summons as well. If you had done any of those things then that would've made it a 10 out of 10." Yakumo responded considering that Anko could've done a lot better in her opinion
"...Shit, that's a good idea." Anko admitted at the fact that she could've done so much better with her entrance now that Yakumo brought it up
"Anyways, Ibiki you must be getting soft. Especially because there's this many fucking genin still around." Anko added at seeing 56 genin teams still around
"Well, Anko this year we've got one hell of a stubborn lot this year. So I did what I could to cut them down to size, but then again I figured you'd have more fun in that department." Ibiki said with a smirk on his face all the while Anko had a massive grin on hers
"Are you kidding me Ibiki. By the time I'm done with them, there won't even be half of them left." Anko sinisterly replied with laughter that made a large handful of the genin feel chills run up their spine
"As for the rest of you, follow me because we're about to get this show on the road." Anko said while the rest of the genin filed out Gohan only had one thought on his mind
'I swear this is gonna be my favorite part of the exams.' Gohan thought to himself while thoughts of expanding his horde through the slaughter of these maggots filled him with a malevolent glee
So that ends it all with the Chunin Exams finally getting underway, but not before the Game made a tiny modification in the form of a female Gaara that wants Gohan to herself. How will this all affect things for Gohan..well you'll just have to find out in the new chapters of A Necromancer's Path to Power.
Now then onto the reviews from the last chapter.
LionLordEscanor: Dope name btw. Also glad you liked the story and I'm trying to work on that issue you've mentioned which a task and a half to do considering the boatload of characters to get through. But hopefully, I can manage to improve from that issue and make this story all the better for you to enjoy.
Silver's Lining: Here's the thing in that we're still in early Naruto where nothing really major happens until after the Chunin Exams. And it won't be until after that where things start really popping off and Gohan's quests start getting further weight added onto them, so I understand where your coming from but once the invasion is over and done with then things are gonna start changing soon enough.
MasterofDragonsGod: She's one of my favorite Yugioh monsters too. Up there with Red-Eyes Black Dragon.
frankieu: Glad you liked the bit with him saving Wave and all and as for what Gohan will get once he gets through level 100 of Warrior it'll be some new advanced classes to go with his furthering of the Warrior class. Also I've got no clue on what his possible summons will be.
Neo Infinity: Yeah I agree with you that Gamer stories underutilize her since she along with some other Yugioh monsters I've got planned will eventually be making an appearance into the story soon. Oh, trust me he'll be putting the Mama's Boy perk to good use soon enough.
Curious Guest: Glad you liked how Jinin was used since he was a great counter for Gohan who could bypass his defenses to the point where if it wasn't for Kurama he would've been a dead man more than likely. Yeah you never suspect the quiet housewives to be the most excited ones to go down. Hope you like my little surprise with Gaara along with another one I've got in store for the Chunin Exams. Also, yeah Jiraiya will make an appearance soon where Kushina will talk with Jiraiya about what the hell happened. Also there will be a meeting where Team 7 in the mission to track down Tsunade and force her back to the village that neither Sasuke nor Yakumo will have her woe is me pity party considering how both of them have suffered far more than her and as such aren't gonna have any of it. Also, the civilians are gonna have a field day seeing as how one of them will get ballsy enough to throw a brick at her face out of pure spite.
John50: Happy you liked the chapter. Also, she won't really be mad considering to her its great that Gohan got some experience so that way she won't have to deal with a virgin floundering in bed because he doesn't know what the fuck he's doing. And Gohan will show off more of what he can do since he has to hide some of his aces in the hole after all. Mei will be introduced after the Tsunade arc considering that's when I'll be doing the whole Civil War with Kiri.
TheOnlyKing: Trust me Gohan is too considering that I wasn't gonna have him stay a virgin for too much longer. Also yeah I plan on making the Toads more similar to a crime family sort of based on Mafia's and such considering that in that vein they will be a lot more ruthless. Considering that just because Ma and Pa are the ones who want to be peaceful doesn't mean that the bulk of the Toads are gonna be like that which will cause some friction that will be shown in later chapters.
piddle: The original name for it was gonna be " All hail the Mother Fucker" to answer your question.
The Dark Wolf Shiro: Nice to see you again. Also, it really does help to be a hero doesn't it. Considering that he'll never be one outright but he'll damn sure enjoy the benefits of being one.
Guest: Good idea on Tsunami and something I've considered seeing as how it would make logical sense for Tsunami to be Tazuna's successor.
L.B.N: Glad you liked the chapter and sorry if the lemon wasn't all that good considering how it was my first attempt and I will do my best to improve from there. And just hope you'll continue to read more.
Reikon67: Gohan's conquest may possibly lead to him finding more Uzumaki since I find it weird that all of the Uzumaki were terminated and besides its one of the many dirty deeds that Hiruzen might have done in order to make sure he remained on top.
Krystian Garlicki: Happy you liked the chapter and hope you'll continue to read more
And cut things there as I hoped you enjoyed this chapter that finally kicks things off into the Chunin Exams arc, but without further delay let's get down to it now shall we.
First up we've got Gohan making a trade/deal with the Game and the revelation that he's extremely close to breaking Anko's seal which I hoped y'all liked considering both will lead into things I've got saved for later on.
Following that up, we've got the true Team 7 making their game plan for what to do and who to go after in the Forest of Death, which will play its part in the next set of chapters.
Next up we've got the introduction of a genderbent Gaara which I thought would be fun to do considering that it shows that whenever you make deals with the game, then the consequences of such will affect the world your playing in so to speak.
Lastly is the 1st part of the exams that I hoped you guys liked as I cut out the Kabuto and Ibiki parts due to the fact that when writing this out, it more or less dragged the story down and didn't really add onto anything new that wouldn't feel redundant.
That being said please favorite, follow, review and share this story as much as possible; because I'd like to see how far this story can be taken and become something pretty dope in the long run. Also please remember that flames won't be tolerated since they're merely a waste of everyone's time and the fact that I appreciate constructive criticism as long as you do it in a well thought out and respectable manner.
With all that being said this is Pravus666 signing out until next time, with the next part following the 2nd part of the Exams within the Forest of Death so stay tuned for that.
