'Sasuke I have seen a lot of your fangirls, but I have to say this is the most disturbing one yet.' Naruto says to his friend. Sasuke looks the girl over.

'I have to agree.' He nods to Naruto. Even Sakura manages to agree.

The girl is not very impressed. 'I'll have you know that I'm not a fangirl.'

'That's what they all say. It's all like: I'm not a fangirl, I'm his future wife.' Naruto does his best reenactment of a Sasuke fangirl. It's comical as he makes his eyes a lot larger and dances around all silly.

'I don't mean that either.' The girl is a bit taken aback by their strange behavior.

Sasuke narrows his eyes. 'Then what do you mean?' It's not something stupid right? He hopes it's not one of those people getting off on non-consensual things. That would be a pain.

'I'm going to steal his body.' The girl shows her tongue, it's long and slimy. She licks one of her kunai and that's all Sasuke needs to leave as soon as possible.

'Gross.' Sakura screeches. 'This one really is disturbing.' They've met plenty of strange fangirls over the years, but this one takes the cake.

'Well then. I'll give you a taste of this!' The woman makes some signs and sends a group of snakes after them. Sasuke's eyes widen, he recognizes some of them.

Sasuke holds out his hands. 'Come to papa.' And the snakes slither up his arms and hug him tightly, out of love of course. 'Did you really think snakes would work at me: the ultimate snake master?'

'If that doesn't work I got plenty of other things up my sleeve.' The girl starts to morph into something else. Something a bit manlier. 'Take this.' A sword appears from its mouth and he starts slashing at the group. He does manage to land a couple of hits but nothing extreme yet.

Then before they know it a strange gas starts filling the air. The group put their hands in front of their mouths, it's poison.

'Sasuke what do we do now?' Naruto asks. They've managed to hide in one of the bushes for now.

Sakura is the one to answer. 'I'd say we give him the scroll and move it.'

'Then what? We will lose our scroll.' Naruto shouts softly at the girl. They can't let themselves be known.

'That's not advantageous at all. We'll keep it in mind.' Sasuke says. He takes another look at the strange girl now man. It's like they are waiting for them to come out.

'Can't Sasuke just rinnegan the shit out of them?' Naruto says. It gives Sasuke an idea.

'It might be worth a try.' Sasuke opens a portal right above the guy. He slips himself through and goes for a punch at the head. The man dodges and morphs his neck into a strange shape. He slithers himself around Sasuke's arm and goes for a bite. Sasuke sets him on fire. The black kind.

From then on, the match turns into a straightforward fist fight. Sasuke makes some hits and so does their opponent. Sakura and Naruto watch in awe, are all the genin in this exam this good?

But then something unexpected happens. The opponent makes himself invisible using some sort of liquid. Sasuke loses track of him, there is not even a trace of chakra.

Sasuke looks around, trying to find where the guy is. Then he gets hit in the shoulder and falls over. He can feel the guy but knowing his strange limbs he cannot deduce where he is exactly, it puts him at a major disadvantage. That is until Naruto dumbs some mud over the guy. The guy gets mad at this and launches himself at Naruto.

Sasuke activates his Susanoo and goes to interrupt him. But the guy is slippery and manages to dodge all hits. Sasuke is getting tired. He does not have a lot of chakra and all these powerful attacks drain him rather quickly.

Then the savior of them all: Sakura comes to the rescue. She takes the scroll and launches it at the man attacking them. It hits him on a pressure point in the neck, and he falls down to the ground.

'Sasuke, Naruto follow me!' Sakura screams from the sidelines. She managed to find a path in the forest that they could use to escape quickly.

'What about our scroll?' Sasuke tells the girl. They can't just leave it behind.

'Forget it. We'll take your underground tunnel Naruto!' Sakura looks at the orange boy. Naruto takes this as his sign to move to the front to guide them in the right direction.

'Fine by me.'

The underground tunnel is not too far away from where they were. Naruto guides them through the trees with ease. They have to dodge an enemy team at some point but it's not that big of a deal, they were occupied with something else.

In the end the tunnel starts underneath a hollow tree. That has to be opened with a password.

'Sneaky, sneaky, chocolate bar.' Naruto says. Then the door opens. Sasuke and Sakura watch in intrigue.

'That's the strangest password.' Sasuke says. He's heard that some people use strange ones, but this might be one of the strangest.

'I did not come up with it.' Naruto excuses.

'Where did you learn it then?' Sakura asks. It's not like someone would just walk up to Naruto to tell him.

'The trees told me.'

'Let's just go in.' Sasuke says as he goes inside the pathway that was opened up. Then he takes another second to realize what Naruto just said. 'What do you mean the trees told you?'

'If you listen close enough then the trees can talk.' Naruto whispers to them while looking at all the trees around them.

'What do they say?' Sakura is a little sceptic. She's never heard trees talk.

'Something about missing their beloved creator, and critiquing fashion choices mostly.' Naruto puts his hand on his chin.

'Fashion?'

Naruto nods. 'I'll have you know they have exquisite taste.'

'Do you even know what that word means?' Sasuke looks at Naruto. Naruto doesn't use words like that.

'Of course, I do.' Naruto looks at his teammates and realizes he has to elaborate further. 'Ukki told me.'

'Who's that?' Sasuke never heard of someone like that.

'The plant I gifted Kakashi-sensei.'

'Plants can talk?' Sakura is a bit stupefied with what's just said. They wander the hall a bit further. The tunnel is dark but with the help of a small flame they can easily make their way around.

'If trees can talk what makes you say plants can't.' Sasuke tells Sakura. He's never heard plants talk either but maybe Naruto has some sort of gift.

'I fell asleep against one once and never heard a word.' Sakura says.

'Maybe you don't have the gifts.' Naruto smiles before they reach the end of the tunnel. There is a ladder going up. 'Oh we're here.'

I'm not super happy with this one. I've lost my groove for a bit. I promise next chapter will be better.
