Author notes ;

Falcon800: yeah Naruto does Inner Moka's catchphrase. I love all kinds of anime and in my story I will be giving nod's to some of my favorites. Some of them will be subtle other's not so much.

Now then this is my longest chapter yet, let me know what y'all think. Also finally got a Beta.

Konoha's council room

The Hokage was sitting back in the council room, the civilian side and shinobi side where in a frenzy. Today the decision was passed down in favor of allowing the mist nin to join the ranks of Konoha. While the shinobi understood where the Hokage was coming from, the civilian side just focused on the bad. In the end it did not matter it worked out the way he wanted. Seeing the business being done with, the Hokage was about to end the meeting when….

" Lord Hokage, before we end this meeting I would like to bring up a serious matter". Said Homura

" What is it councilor?".

" We have reports which involve Naruto".

The Hokage raised a eyebrow at this, Naruto had not been the topic for awhile now. He had just been training and had done nothing wrong, at least nothing that came to mind.

" What exactly is this about?"

" It is about that boy's involvement in the mission to the mist. We have reports about a new weapon he used".

The Hokage cursed his luck, he had no Idea how they found out but he knew where this was going.

" What is this about, Naruto is a shinobi why is a weapon a issue?"

" This weapon was said to cause black flames?"

The Hokage at this point, was thinking about what to do. He didn't want to reveal Naruto's secret, but he also didn't want the council to get suspicious.

" Very well council, Boar! ( Boar shows up kneeling in front of the Hokage) Bring me Naruto Uzumaki".

With Naruto and the other's

Naruto, Hinata, Ayame, Haku and Zaku were at the Yakiniku restaurant. They were all enjoying some lunch having spent the day doing nothing. Naruto wasn't really fond of the Idea of wasting a day. But they were being treated, turns out Gato had a good amount of money in that hideout. They were enjoying their meal when Naruto spoke up.

" What do you want Boar?"

They all looked around, before they could ask Boar appeared in front of them.

" Naruto the Hokage has summoned you, come with me".

Naruto put his hand up signaling Boar to stop. He stood up and turned around, to his table.

" Hey this should be fun, you guys want to come with?"

They all shot a glance at each other, but one look of the smirk on Naruto's face told them he wasn't lying.

The council room

The council had been talking amongst themselves, when the door swung open and Naruto and his group walked in. Seeing this angered the advisors.

" Hey gramps, what's going on?"

" Who the hell do you think you are? Coming in hear like that, and addressing the Hokage in such away!" screamed Homura.

Naruto just stared at her, the same look of disgust was on her face as most of the people in the room.

" Oh would you please such the hell up, you are nothing more then advisors. The truth is your nothing more then relics. Why the Hokage needs you is beyond me, y'all are nothing more than a pain in the ass. And serve no propose".

The room was silent as everyone waited for the reaction, the Hokage had a small smirk on his face. He also realized that Naruto made a point, why did he have them around. Nothing but contradicting him and as Naruto pointed out just being a pain in the ass.

" Who the hell do you think you are?" said Koharu.

" Inventor, ass kicker and lover of ramen. Oh and the one person you should not piss off, or would you like to know your place".

" You dam demo…."

Koharu was about to say the word, but to every one's shock Naruto stood before him sword pointed at his heart. Before anyone could do anything, five ANBU showed up surrounding Naruto swords drawn. Seeing that this has gotten out of hand the Hokage spoke.

" That is enough Naruto! stand down".

" Sorry about that, he was about to break a law. And being the law abiding person I am, I was goanna show him the punishment".

Naruto quickly sealed his sword in his chain, turning around looking at the ANBU he smirked. Putting his hands in his pockets he activated his kamui and walked through the men. The look on everyone's face was hilarious to Naruto as he went back to his group, as they all began to settle down a certain clan head finally noticed who was there.

" Hinata! what are you doing here?" yells Hiashi

" Oh hello Hiashi, what hell does it matter to you. I'm just here with my friends and boyfriend".

Haishi just stood there in shock at what he just heard. While Naruto had a smirk on his face, he was so happy that Hinata was standing up for herself. That and the look on Hiashi's face, was one that you couldn't pay enough to see.

" That is enough, the next person to speak unless spoken to will deal with me". Said the Hokage letting out some KI, he wanted to get the meeting over with.

" Very well, Naruto Uzumaki you have been called here today for matters dealing with your last mission". Said Homura

" What about it?" asked Naruto already having a good idea where this is going

" We have reports saying that you used a weapon that caused black flames".

" So what if I did?"

The old councilor was a bit angry, but one look at the Hokage told her she better stay on topic.

" We want you to hand over this weapon immediately, so that we can inspect it".

" No I'm a shinobi and this is my invention, so I'm under no obligated to give you anything".

" Young Uzumaki, I have lived a long time and seen these flames before. But it was never wielded by an Uzumaki". Said Danzo "( foolish child, I know where those flames come from. And by the end of this, I will know where you acquired them)".

Naruto turned his attention to the old man, he had been told stories by the Hokage of Danzo. But this was the first time they had come face to face.

"( So the mummy final speaks to me, gramps always said to be careful. But he knows about the Amaterasu let's find out how). You know I don't think we ever had a talk you old relic, but I have to ask. You say that an Uzumaki never wielded these flames, and now you have why is that a problem?"

A small smirk tugged at Danzo's thin lips a flicker of interest lit his dark eyes and for a instant his face spoke of amusement before they set back into the normal unreadable mask. It was uncommon for the mask to break and if one blinked they would have missed the amused expression all together. It was very apparent Danzo knew the game Naruto was playing and the fact Naruto thought he could outplay Danzo caused him nothing short of amusement but it was time for Danzo to end this tit for tat...At least for now. He cleared his throat and spoke with a lighter tone." It's no problem at all, it just hasn't happen before. Maybe one day, we could have a talk about how you came across those black flames".

"( Looks like he doesn't want to play anymore, and now he wants to save face). Yeah no problem, can't wait".

" Naruto, would it be possible for you to tell us how your weapon works?" asked Shikaku

Naruto turned to the head of the Nara clan, he had few run ins with the man. And the occasional shogi challenge, Naruto decided to let them know. If they could replicate fine, but he doubted they could.

" Sure no problem, the thing is more or less simple. We all know that weapons could be sealed away correct. ( every one nodes) Good well all I did was create a few seals, that allowed me to take a ball shove a good amount of kunai in it. Then all I have to do is toss it at the enemy activate it, then watch the show".

The whole room began to talk, the weapon was so simple why had no one thought of it before.

" Thank you Naruto, oh and don't forget about our rematch". Said Shikaku with a small smirk

Naruto returned the smirk and nodded.

" Oh yeah by the way, try not to die replicating my weapon. The last thing I need, is for me to get blamed for stupid people's death".

The room went silent again, as they all had their attention on the blonde.

" I did say it was my seals".

" Very well, that is it for this meeting".

Said the Hokage before another argument broke out. Every one began to leave with questions on their mind, and as the Hokage made his way out of the room he knew that he would have to have a talk with Naruto soon.

Few days later on top of the Hokage tower

The Hokage stood at the top of his building, looking towards the sunset. He had been smoking his pipe and going through his thoughts, as he awaited the arrival of his favorite blonde. He didn't have to wait long, Naruto soon arrived and walked over standing next to the Hokage. Neither of them said anything for awhile, as they watched the lights begin to turn on all through out the village.

" It's times like this, I'm glad I've lived this long. Tell me Naruto, how have you been?"

" I've been fine, found something recently in Minato's room that has my attention. Also I started to train Sakura as well, she try's her best and for now that's all I can ask for".

" I see, so what did you find in Minato's room?"

" Something I have only read about before, never thought of all people Minato would have it".

The Hokage let out a puff of smoke from his pipe, he knew that he wasn't getting anything more out of Naruto. For a boy who didn't like secrets, he had a few.

" Naruto, do you know what is taking place soon?"

" No clue, I've been so wrapped up in my work".

" Well let me be the first to tell you, the chunnin exams will be taking place soon. The exams will be taking place here in the leaf".

" Well that sucks, really wanted to get out of the village again".

" Don't worry about that, as you get higher in rank you will be sent out plenty of times. Now then in about a months time the Kazekage and Rikage will be here. Their genin will also be a part of this years exam. Also make sure that you are more careful, ever since your black flames were found out. I feel that Danzo has his eyes on you".

" Yeah I notice, every now and then I find a ANBU following me. But don't worry, I deal with them in various ways".

" Danzo, what is he planning?"

" I wouldn't worry about it, I'm always on guard he won't get anything from me".

" Very well Naruto, train hard and good luck".

Naruto nodded as he shunshin away, the Hokage continued to stare at the village. A small smile came to his face.

" Minato, Kushina your son is growing to be a great man. The will of fire burns strong in him, you would be proud".

Three weeks later team eights training ground

Sakura was laying down on the floor trying to catch her breath. She had never been so exhausted, every muscle in her body ached. Day in and day out she would train like this, Naruto was tough on her but she never once complained. She sat down and notice that the others where coming her way.

" Way to go Sakura, you made it through another day". Said Naruto as he handed her a bottle of water

" Thanks I can't believe you all went through this when you started out. But can I ask, why do I have to wear these weights and y'all don't?"

" Simple, because I told you to". Said Naruto

" Sakura there is more to it then that, you have not trained with us long enough for Naruto to teach you how to apply the seals we have". Said Shino

" Also you have to get us to weight, because the seal we have are about ten times more then what you currently have on".

Sakura's eyes open as wide as she could make them hearing Hinata say that. She began to wonder if any of them where even human. Ten times more, how could they walk let alone train and fight. She shot a quick glance a Sasuke, who turned his head quickly. A slight blush came across her face, between Sasuke and even Naruto they look hot after a work out. Before anything else was said Yamato, Kakashi, Kiba and Akumaru showed up.

" Not every day you guys show up together, and hey you brought a stray and Akumaru".

" What was that Naruto".

Said Kiba growling, Naruto responded by snatching the water bottle out of Sakura's hand and threw it at Kiba's head making it bounce of and roll away.

" Fetch boy". Said Naruto with a grin.

" That's enough Naruto, Kiba you should work on your reflexes". Said Kakashi disappointed that his gennin could not dodge a water bottle.

" Well we came here because we had to tell you something, in a week the chunnin exams will be held". Said Yamato

" This year Yamato and myself nominated you all, now while you are nominated as a team. It is an individuals choice if you want to enter, so if any of you feel like backing out. You have until the day of the exams to do so".

Everyone was quite they shot a glance at one another, Naruto was about to say something when.

" No way! I may not have been training as long as these guys. But there is no way anyone of us will back out. By the time this is over we will be chunnin".

Yamato and Kakashi's eyes widen a bit hearing Sakura say that. She seemed to be having a hard time standing, but the look in her eyes told both of them something had changed in her. They looked at the others to Hinata having a smile on her face. Shino well they couldn't tell, the boy had sunglasses and his coat covered most of his face. While Naruto and Sasuke had similar grins on their face. They exchanged looks with each other, as they began to wonder how much of this was from Naruto's training. The blonde always seemed to bring the best out of everyone.

" Well you heard the lady, oh and sensei do me a favor… tell the other sensei's that their gennin will soon learn their place".

A week later

For the past week Naruto had been training like hell, he knew that this exam would bring him one step closer to his goal. They all trained and pushed themselves to their limits, when the exams where two days away Naruto told them that they would take those days to rest. We currently find our blonde in his bed, today was the day of the exams. Naruto began to stir as the smell of breakfast cooking slowly woke him up. As he opened his eyes he couldn't help but smile, laying down on his chest was Hinata. This had become Naruto's favorite thing about waking up.

" Hey… it's time to get up now".

" I don't want to, five more minutes". She said with a pout not wanting to move

" Usually I wouldn't complain, but today is the day we go kick some ass at the exams. So come on let's get ready".

Hinata continued to pout, she sat up allowing Naruto to do the same. They put on some clothes, since Naruto sleeps in his boxers and Hinata in a night gown. Naruto made his way to the living room. Zaku was helping out his sister with breakfast. While Zabuza was sitting down on the couch reading a news paper and drinking coffee. The food wasn't ready so Naruto decided to sit down.

" Good morning Zabuza, I'm surprised you're here?"

" I tell you brat, they still don't know where to put me. So tell me Naruto you want to have another spar, it would be a good warm up ".

" Yeah it would, but after I eat we have to take off. The exams start early, which sucks because I wanted to work on what I had found".

" You mean that giant chest you found, what's so hard about it? Aren't you a seal master?"

" I am , but this seal is more complicated then anything I've seen before. Add to that, from what I found out I only get one shot to open it. The seals on it have to be removed at the same time, or they will trigger themselves and what ever is inside will get blown up".

" Sounds like whoever set this up, didn't want anyone to get what was inside. Where did you find that thing anyway?"

" Don't worry about that, but yeah your right they didn't want just anyone getting what's inside".

Zabuza just nodded and continued to read, after awhile the food was ready and they all sat down to eat. They talk for a bit and when they finish Naruto and Hinata got geared up. Saying there goodbye to their friends, they shunshin away.

A few blocks away from the exam building

Naruto and Hinata where making there way to the exams, when they saw a few kids running around playing ninja. ( Konohamaru, Udon and Mogei) The kid's then spotted Naruto and Hinata and ran towards them.

" Hey Naruto and Hinata, are you guys going to the chunnin exams?" asked Konohamaru

" Yes and what are you guys doing today?" asked Hinata

" Ebisu sensei said we had a few mission's today, but have to wait till later". Answered Mogei

" Yeah, hey boss do you have another scroll for us?"

Naruto smirked, Konohamaru always called him boss. He didn't know why but the kid looked up to him, and every now and then Naruto would give him a new scroll with a work out routine that they could do. He reached and unsealed a scroll and tossed it to the kid, who instantly went crazy. They all quickly said thank you and took off as fast as they could, as they did Sakura walked up and joined the two.

" Good morning Naruto and Hinata, what was that all about?"

" Oh hey Sakura, it was nothing they are some kids I know. Every now and then I help them train, so you ready?"

Sakura was about to answer when from around the corner there was a scream, they noticed it was Konohamaru. Naruto and the others went to check out what happen. As they turned the corner they saw that Konohamaru was being held up in the air by his shirt. The guy holding him was wearing this full body black suit, his face had purple paint. Next to him was a blonde girl, her hair was in ponytails and she wore a light purple garment, that went down to her thighs.

" Let go of me, I said I was sorry for running into you".

" Not good enough kid, I'm goanna have to teach you some manners".

" That's enough, Kankuro we are not here for that". Said the girl

" Come on Temari, if I don't teach him something who will".

" Hey dumbass, do yourself a favor and put the kid down".

Temari and Kankuro turned their attention to Naruto and the others. Kankuro had a pissed off look on his face after being called dumbass, while Temari looked intrigued at the blonde.

" Oh yeah and what if I don't tuff guy".

Naruto didn't answer instead he quickly ran and snatched Konohamaru away from the guy. Kankuro was shocked he never saw the blonde move, but before he could do anything his neck was grabbed by Naruto. With one hand on his neck, Naruto picked up Kankuro he made it seem easy. Temari realizing what was going on was about to reach for her weapon, when she felt cold steal on her neck. She turned slightly to see that it had been the girl with the blue hair.

" What's the matter? You seem to be having a hard time speaking now".

Kankuro tried to move, but the more he struggle the more the blonde tighten his grip.

" Now I'm feeling pretty good today, so I'll let you go besides your team mate in the tree over there seems pissed off".

They all turned there attention to the tree, as a guy with red hair came out. He wore a black body suit with a open neck t shirt. He had a white cloth that went over his right shoulder, as well as a gourd that was strapped onto his back. On his left side of his forehead was the word love written in kanji. But what caught Naruto's interest was his eyes, they where cold and full of hate.

" Gaara, what are you doing here?". Asked Temari

" You two are pathetic, did you forget why we are here. Now then I would appreciate, if you were to let Kankuro go".

Naruto smirk at this, he let Kankuro go and he fell on his ass. Naruto and Hinata then walked over to the others as Gaara used what appeared to be a sand shunshin to join Temari and Kankuro.

" I apologize for the trouble". Said Gaara his eyes locked with the blonde.

" No problem…. Ichi (one)". Naruto said with a smirk

You could feel the tension in the air, as the stare of between Naruto and Gaara continued. It seemed that Gaara was about to say something when suddenly, in between them landed four new people. ( killer b and his gennie team cannon style looks)

"( Naruto two more of the tailed beast are here)"

( Seems like this exam, will be better then I thought).

The kyuubi smirked at Naruto's words, before him stood three of the nine and yet Naruto didn't give a damn. Not that he did either, he is the nine tails after all.

" Well it seems that Ni (two) and Achi ( eight) decided to join in. Judging from your head bands, I say you're here representing kumo. That being said, its nice to meet you". Said Naruto

" I am killer B the eight tail Jinchuriki but your opponent is not me". Said killer B while striking a pose and pointing to his team. Who just sunk there heads at their Sensei's antics.

" B could you stop doing that, I'm Yugito and its nice to meet you too Kyuu ( nine). These are my teammates Omni and karui. She said as her teammates nodded.

As they where introducing themselves, Kankuro and Temari began to freak out a bit. They could feel Gaara's bloodlust rising, he was going to that special place. The place that doesn't end well, for anyone around them.

" Yes, yes blood! Mother will have all of your blood!"

They all turned there attention to Gaara, who looked like he was about to go on a killing spree. What caught Naruto's eyes was the sand around Gaara, it looked like it was dancing around him.

( " seems that the one tails is still bat shit crazy")

( I notice, tell me why does he call him mother?)

(" Don't know, seems his vessel is also a crazy bastard")

Naruto was getting ready as it seemed that things where about to go south. When Yamato, Kakashi and another man appear (Baki cannon style looks)

" Gaara that is enough, we are leaving". Said the man

Gaara just looked at the man, it took him a moment but he calmed down. Taking one last look at Naruto they all walked away.

" Naruto, what was that all about?" asked Yamato he could feel the KI coming of Gaara

" Nothing sensei, just making new friends. But I tell you both, this exam just got more exciting".

" What do you mean by that?" asked Kakashi

" Because, four of the nine are here". Was the blondes answer

The men looked at each other for a minute, and when it finally hit them. They turned to see the kumo team who just waved at them before taking off.

" Kakashi sensei, what's going on?" asked Sakura confused as hell

" Sakura I know that you and Sasuke have trained hard, but if you run into either of those teams. Run away as fast as you can". Was Kakashi's response

" Don't suppose that you would heed Kakashi's warning". Asked Yamato looking at Naruto and Hinata

" Do you expect me to say yes?" was Naruto's answer.

Yamato had a small smirk on his face, he expected nothing less from Naruto. But the presence of the other tail beast, does pose some concern. With nothing else to be said Naruto, Hinata and Sakura began to make their way to the building.

The exam building

Naruto and the others had arrive at the exam building, Sasuke Kiba and Shino had been waiting outside.

" What took you so long Teme?" said Sasuke

" Shut it Baka, we're here now so y'all ready?"

They all nodded and entered together, when they got in they notice a group of people were standing in the hall. It seemed that some people where fighting over trying to get into the door, Naruto was able to pick up on the genjutsu. He looked at the others and they all nodded, minus Kiba who was out of the loop. They went to the stairwell and straight on to the second floor. Making their way to the room, they were stopped by someone calling them out. They turned around to see a guy wearing a green jumpsuit, he had his hands wrapped, a bowl hair cut, and big eyebrows.

" You there, I am here to challenge Sasuke Uchiha". Said the guy

" You know who I am, and you still want to fight me?" asked Sasuke

" Yes I am Rock Lee, and on my team is said to be the strongest gennin. You Sasuke are said to be equally as strong, that is why I am here".

" I don't care about your teammate, but if you want to lose that badly I'll be happy to help you".

Rock Lee and Sasuke jumped down from the balcony they where on. Naruto and the others decided to just watch the show. Rock Lee took his stance with his left hand behind his back and his right hand straight in front of his body. Sasuke didn't bother to wait, he dash forward at Lee with great speed. When he closed the gap Sasuke lunged towards Lee's left, this threw him off because it look like Sasuke had tripped. But what he didn't see, was Sasuke planting his left hand on the floor. Using his momentum, he spun on his hand using his heal he planted a hard kick to Lee's face. When his foot hit the floor, Sasuke quickly drove his knee into Lee's gut causing him to buckle over and roll away.

" Listen Lee, I don't know what you expected but if you want to keep going it won't end well for you".

Rock Lee got back up to his feet after hearing Sasuke's words. He then began to have a smile in his face.

" Sasuke you are good, maybe you will be my rival. But if you think I'm going down easily then you are wrong!"

Sasuke just kept his eyes on Lee, but in a blink he was gone. Sasuke quickly looked around trying to find him, the next thing he knew Lee was driving his right fist into Sasuke's solarplexes. Lee then cocked his left hand back and delivered a haymaker to the face. After the haymaker Sasuke spun around and tried to hit Lee, but was blocked. They continue to get hit after hit on each other, but Sasuke was caught off guard. He had put his arm's up to block Lee's kick, but somehow Lee broke trough and landed a upward kick to Sasuke.

" Wow those two are really going at it". Said Sakura

" Yes, but it seems Sasuke is holding back". Said Shino

" Yeah, but that Lee guy. I can tell, he is nowhere near using his full strength. Hinata use your byakugan, tell me what you see with that guy".

Hinata nodded and activated her byakugan, she began to look at Lee when a look of confusion came over her.

" I don't understand, his chakra network is so thin. It's almost like he doesn't have any network at all".

" What you mean to tell me, that this guy is taking on Sasuke and has no chakra!" said Kiba

" Yes, the way his chakra network is I don't think he could use any ninjutsu, or genjutsu".

Every one was shock to hear what Hinata had said. Naruto on the other hand was interested. ( A guy who can only rely on his fist, sounds like my kind of guy)

" Leaf whirlwind!"

They all turned their attention back to the fight, in time to see Sasuke get sent flying by Lee's kick. He hit the ground hard and stayed there for a second. They looked on as Sasuke picked himself up, and that's when Naruto sensed the spike in Sasuke's chakra. ( So he's finally awakened his)

" You know Lee, I have to thank you. Your giving me a chance to try this out".

Everyone minus Naruto were surprised, Sasuke's black eyes where now red.

"( so that's the Sharigan)" thought Lee as he stayed calm and ready.

" ( it seems that he has two tomes in each eye not bad)" thought Naruto

Lee and Sasuke continued, but to Sasuke's surprise Lee kept breaking threw his defense's. Add to that he still was not used to his eyes. After a few more exchanges they separated, both of them where lightly panting. Sasuke had gotten pissed off at this point, he was getting ready to end this and it looked like Lee had the same Idea. Lee began to unwrap his gauze from his hands, while Sasuke put his hands in the tiger seal. But before things could go further a senbon with a windmill attached to the end struck Lee's gauze pinning it to the ground. At the Same time, Sasuke felt a hand on his shoulder.

" Naruto! What the hell are you doing?" asked Sasuke

" There is no need to take it that far right now, besides we should get going or we're going to be late"

" Lee! I have told you not to use that technique so lightly".

" Guy sensei!"

Naruto, Sasuke and the other's turned their attention to the source of the voice. To there shock there stood a man who looked like an adult version of Lee. Down to the freaking eyebrows, this disturb them all. Guy then walked over to Lee, and clocked him in the face.

" Now then Lee, I hope you learned your lesson". Said Guy

" Yes sir!" said Lee as he began to wrap his hands back up

Guy then turned his attention to Naruto and Sasuke. Not wanting to be rude, he went towards them.

" I apologize for my students behavior. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Konoha's Noble green beast! Might Guy". He said while flashing a smile, which somehow produce a twinkle in his teeth.

Naruto and the other's really didn't know what was weirder, the guys antics or his eyebrows.

" Right well I'm Naruto, and as fun as this has been we need to go".

Not allowing Guy to get another word in, Naruto and Sasuke jump back up to join the others and quickly made there way to the other building . When they entered the building they noticed that at the end of the hall stood Yamato and Kakashi.

" well I'm glad you could all make it". Said Kakashi with his eye smile

" Yes, it's a good thing you are all here. Now then behind this door is the exam room, good luck and give it your all". Said Yamato

They all nodded then proceeded to make their way into the room. When they all walked in, they where instantly the target in everyone's attention. A room full of people, and Naruto could feel all their KI aimed at them. Naruto smirked at this as he began to let his own KI out, he had it in spades and it slowly began to consume the room. He was about to let out more when a familiar voice brought him out of concentration .

" Sasuke!" screamed Ino as she suddenly appeared wrapping her arms around Sasuke.

" Ino pig, get off Sasuke!" yelled Sakura as she tried to get her off him

" what a drag, Ino would you stop. Hey Naruto, Hinata, Shino how have you guys been?" asked Shikumaru

" We've been good, it's good to see you both Shikumaru and Choji". Said Hinata happy to see her friends. They began to talk amongst themselves, when a guy came up to them.

" You guy's really know how to make a entrance, but do yourself a favor and keep a low profile".

" Who the hell are you?" said Kiba trying to look tuff in front of Hinata

" Sorry where are my manners, I am Kabuto and you are all the rookies ( cannon style looks). You guy's are the talk of the exams, haven't been in the field a year and already taking part in the exams".

" Naruto, this boy reeks of snakes and dark chakra".

" ( I notice, he's a lot stronger then he looks. What do you think a guy like this is doing here?)"

" I do not know, be wary of this one".

Naruto came back to reality, just in time to hear Kabuto saying he had information on everyone. Seeing this as a chance to get what he wanted he spoke up.

" So those card's of yours, do you have one for everyone here?" asked Naruto

" That's right, this is my sixth year taking these exams. And you don't go through them, without picking up a thing or two".

" Alright, how do they work?"

" That's easy, all you have to do is tell me something about the person your looking for and I'll do the rest".

" Ok then tell me, what do you have on Gaara of the sand village".

Kabuto nodded and took out a card from his deck, he then placed it on the floor and began applying chakra with his finger. After a few seconds the blank card start to have writing on it.

" Alright let's see Gaara of the sand, he is the son of the fourth Kazekage. Has forty D ranks, ten B ranks and get this five A rank mission. But that's not all, reports have said that Gaara has never been hurt in any of these missions".

" What the hell! You mean to tell me that guy never once got hit? What kind of monster is he? Yelled Kiba while the other's were thinking along the same lines.

" Hey, what do you have on Naruto Uzumaki?"

They all turned around to see Yugito walking up to them. Kabuto began to go through his cards, while he did that Yugito made her way and stood next to Naruto.

" You know Yugito, if you wanted to know something about me all you have to do is ask".

" Aww don't be like that, I was just curious". She said in a playful tone that slightly pissed off Hinata.

" Alright Naruto Uzumaki, he has fifty D ranks, one C rank and what's this a S rank!? That's not all, he also has a weapon that can wipe out a small army and causes black flames!"

When Kabuto finished, he looked up and locked eyes with the blonde. Every one was quite, Naruto on the other hand was pissed off. Most of the stuff that was said he could care less, but that S rank no one was suppose to know about. Mainly because it was not an S rank, he just got the pay as if it was one. But how the hell did he know that.

" What have you been up to?" asked Yugito

" Don't worry about that, and Kabuto we will have to talk soon".

When Naruto finish saying that, the door on the opposite side of the room opened. Shinobi began to come in through the door, they all surrounded the sides of the room. When they filed out a single man in a black trench coat came in.

" Alright all of you, sit down and shut up. I will not be repeating myself, I am Ibiki the proctor of this exam. The first part of the exams will be a written test. You will all start with ten points, and be graded as a team. Each wrong answer is minus one point, but if your caught cheating you loose two points. Show us that you are exceptional shinobi, there is also going to be a final question to be given ten minutes before the time is up. Now then you have two hours, begin!"

Everyone began to work on their exam, Naruto looked at the test and thought one thing. ( "So these guys are trying to get us to cheat, with out getting caught. There's no way that they expected everyone to know the answer to these type of questions"). Naruto looked around and notice that the others figured things out, now he had to figure out what he was going to do. Then it hit him, there was one more question and he was willing to bet it was a bullshit question. He looked down at his paper and began to write stuff down, when he was done just sat there and waited. As the timed past he saw multiple people get their asses kicked out, some cried another even tried to get in a fight. He looked at the clock and saw that it was time, Ibiki stood up and walked back to where he was before.

" Listen up it's time for the final question, but before I give it to you there is a rule I must let you all know. The rule is simple, it is up to you whether or not you want to answer the final question. The reason behind that is because if you get this question wrong. Then you will be barred from taking the exams again".

" What! What kind of rule is that? There are people here that have token the exams before". Yelled Kiba

" While that is true, they did not have me as a proctor. Now then you have five minutes to decide".

Ibiki looked around, and it did not take long for people to raise there hands and say they where out.

" Are you done wasting my time!? Your intimidation tactics suck, and your supposed to be the head of the interrogation unit. What the hell are you going to do next? Water board the elderly in front of us?" said Naruto

Just about everyone's jaw was on the floor even Ibiki looked pissed, and that doesn't happen to often. But as he stared down Naruto he saw that the blonde wasn't going to back down. As he was about to say something, something came crashing through the window. Two kunai were thrown into the wall and unraveled a large banner and in front stood a woman.

" Alright you brats the sexy, single snake mistress of konoha is here! I am Anko ( cannon style looks) and I will be your next proctor". She said while doing a pose.

At this point everyone was royally confused, even Anko was out of it as she saw all the blank faces. Turning around she notice the look on Ibiki's face.

" Your early again, I haven't even told them the answer to the final question". said Ibiki

" How the hell is that my fault, you never take this long"

Ibiki let out a sigh, he turned his attention back to the class who was still a bit confused.

" If you haven't figured it out yet, you all pass. The point of the last question was to see which of you, has the stomach to do the mission. In other words the fact that you stayed, means you passed".

" Right now you have half an hour, to meet me at training ground forty four". Said Anko before shunshin out of the room.

Everyone began to make their leave, as they did Ibiki called over the blonde.

" Hey brat, how did you know I was head of the Interrogation unit?"

" You just gave a test that revolved around getting information, and I know a few things about the importance in that. The same way I also know that training ground forty four, is also known as the forest of death".

" You telling me you been there before?" said Ibiki a bit impressed that the blonde seem smarter then most kids his age.

" No, I know of it but never gone in. Now then, I'll be leaving. Oh by the way not that it matters, but here is my written exam. I wanted to make sure, that you read it".

Ibiki took the paper and Naruto walked away, when the blonde left the room Ibiki began to read the paper. If you where to look at Ibiki's face, and go in slow motion you could actually see his transition from annoyed to rage.

" Naruto!"

Naruto, Hinata and Shino arrived at the training ground. They all took in what was in front of them, a massive forest was in front of them. Naruto could feel the forests as if it was a living thing, the edge of the forest was sealed by a chain linked fence. Multiple warning signs spread throughout the gate, and right in front of it were a couple hundred gennin waiting for their proctor. Naruto began to look around the place, a small smirk came across his face. When it did however, a kunai came flying at him and cut his cheek and caused him to bleed lightly. Suddenly behind him Anko appeared, she was holding the kunai with Naruto's blood on it.

" You know Gaki, it's the cocky one's that die first". She said as she licked the kunai . " And by the way you taste, I'm sure that the beast inside there will be after you".

" Oh yea? I guess I should keep my guard up, by the way…"

Naruto quickly grabbed Anko's wrist the one in front of him, and activated his Kamui quickly phasing through her. When he pulled her he used her confusion to his advantage, snatching the kunai out of her hand. He put his arm around her waist reached over and lightly cut her on the cheek, he then licked the kunai as Anko watched.

" You know, you don't taste to bad yourself". He said with a smirk

By the time Anko process everything that just happen, her face was red as hell. She wanted so badly to get even with him but knew she couldn't, the dam exam was going on. But instead of physically hurting him, she went another way.

" If you wanted a date that badly Gaki you should have asked. But I don't think your girlfriend over there, likes the way your holding me".

Naruto turned his attention Hinata who was walking over, Anko smirked at her genius move.

" Naruto! If you wanted to get another girl.. You should have told me and Ayame sooner".

" What! You telling me this Gaki has two girlfriends?" yelled Anko feeling her plan back fire

" Yup and they don't mind sharing, so let us know". Said Naruto as he let Anko go and walked away with Hinata.

Anko stood a bit lost for words, it took her a minute to compose herself. Looking around she notice that she was the center of attention.

" What the hell are all you Gaki's staring at? She yelled as she went to get the exam started

" Nice one Hinata". Said Naruto with a smirk

" Naruto I love you and so does Ayame, and we really don't mind sharing".

Hinata giggled at Naruto's expression, and In Naruto's mind he was thinking that his life wasn't so bad. After a few minutes Anko had called all their attention.

" Alright listen up, this is my home away from home the Forest of Death. The next part of the exam is simple. In the center of the forest there is a tower, all you have to do is make it to the tower. Oh and your going to need two scrolls, a heaven and earth one. ( she said as she held up the scrolls) Each team will start of with one scroll, you need to take the other from any other team you come across. You have five days to reach the tower, oh and before you start your going to need to sign some waivers. Odds are most of you wont make it, and we don't want to held responsible". She said with a evil smile that send shivers down a few backs.

" It looks like your suggestion, to gear as if we where going out on a mission was good". Said Shino

" Yeah, but I don't think that we will need it. Look the easiest thing to do will be to head straight for the tower. We can either kick who's ever ass we run into, or wait and kick who's ever ass show's up".

Hinata and Shino nodded, the plan was simple and it would get them what they wanted. After each team when in and got their scroll they all lined up at their gate. Naruto showed them the earth scroll they had gotten then seald it away in his chain. As they waited for the signal, Naruto began to feel his surroundings. He couldn't sense Sasuke and the other's near him, which was good. Even though it was every team for themselves, he didn't want to have to take out his friend's…. At least not yet, not long after, the signal was heard and they jumped into the forest.

With team seven

Team seven had been making their way through the forest at top speed. They had Akumaru up front and Kiba in the back, they figured that with their noses they could pick up if any one was close.

" Sasuke, how about we take a break Akumaru could use some water".

" Alright Kiba, but we can't wait to long. I want us to make it as close to the tower as possible before it gets dark".

They stooped next to a stream , while Kiba was busy helping Akumaru Sakura went to talk to Sasuke.

" Hey Sasuke, do you think that we will run into the other's?"

" I don't know, but it doesn't matter whoever we run into they will have to deal with me".

Sakura nodded she really likes it when Sasuke acted that way. As they enjoyed there rest Akumaru started to bark. They all stood up and ready themselves, Kiba began to sniff around trying to find a scent.

" Kiba, you got anything?" asked Sasuke

" Yeah the scent is a bit faint, but someone is here". Said Kiba

" Can you tell who it is?" asked Sakura

" Like I told you Sakura it doesn't matter. Whoever you are, show yourself!"

From behind one of the trees came out Rock Lee, they all kept their guard up as Lee approached them cautiously.

" Please I do not mean you harm, I just came because I need to say something".

" What would that be?" ask Sasuke his Sharigan flaring to life, he still had a score to settle with Lee

" Sakura, you are the most beautiful person I have ever seen. Please be my girlfriend, I would protect you with my life".

There was a uncomfortable silence, Lee's words ringing in the pink girl's head. Ordinarily, Sakura would have flipped out.

" Look Lee I'm flattered, but I just don't feel the same way as you. If you want to be friends that's fine, but I don't want to hurt your feelings".

" Sakura your word's are as kind as you are, I knew I made the right choice. I will be your friend, and one day I will win your love".

" Ok Lee, but remember we're friends. Now you should get out of here, this is a test and you should be with your teammates".

" Not to worry Sakura, on my team is said to be the strongest gennin. They will be fine without me, I will go with you".

" What!? We can't trust you! How do we know, this ain't some kind of trap? I say we just tie him up and leave him here". Said Kiba

" I am not a lier, just like Guy sensei my word is my bond".

They all stood there trying to figure out what to do. Sasuke kept watching Lee carefully, he couldn't pick up any type of deception.

" Alright Lee, if you want to go with us that's fine. But if you try anything, then we will finish what we started". Said Sasuke

" What!? Sasuke what are you thinking? We can't trust this guy".

" Kiba shut up, we are going now".

Kiba was pissed off, he didn't trust Lee and didn't like what was going on. But he couldn't do anything, Kakashi had told them that Sasuke was in charge. They all got ready, and took off back into the forest.

With Naruto's team

Naruto and the other's were making good time through the forest, Hinata was up front her byakugan activated as she continuously kept looking at here surroundings. Shino was next, and at the end we had Naruto with his senses no one could sneak up on him. They had been going for awhile when Hinata signaled for them to stop, they all landed on the same branch of a tree and waited.

" What is it Hinata?" asked Naruto

" Up ahead is a team, they haven't noticed us yet". Said Hinata

" Nice alright, just wait here and I'll….." Naruto stopped talking when Shino put his hand on him.

" Naruto I know you're the leader, but allow me to take care of this".

Naruto and Hinata shot a look at each other, not every day Shino wants to do something on his own. But seeing nothing wrong with it Naruto just nodded. Shino took off in the direction of the team, while Naruto and Hinata hanged back.

" What do you think he is planning?" asked Hinata

" Don't know, but this should be good".

Shino quickly got himself in range of the other team, he saw that it was three leaf shinobi. The three did not notice Shino at all, this is mainly due to the fact that Shino is great at stealth. Hell from time to time Naruto would tell him, that part of his training was to try to sneak up on him or Hinata. Although he could never do it, he had come pretty close from time to time. Shino put his hands on the floor and hundreds of bugs came out. The bugs slowly started to make their way towards the three, as they neared, Shino readied himself. The three genin had been sitting down trying to catch their breath, as they began to talk the swarm hit them. Each of them didn't know what to do, as they try to stand up they found it difficult. But they weren't giving up that easily, they made it to their feet and were about to try and make a move when Shino dropped down in the center of them. Shino quickly round house quick the closes one to him, then threw two kunai at the other two piecing their legs. The three hit the ground as Shino just stood there and watched his bugs cover the three. After a few more seconds, the screams of the three stopped. Naruto and Hinata jumped down and join Shino, who was currently retrieving the scroll.

" It seems that we where lucky". Shino said as he tossed a heaven scroll to Naruto.

" No kidding, damn Shino not bad". Said Naruto as he sealed the scroll

" Yes with that scroll, we can pass the exam". Hinata said with a smile while Shino just nodded.

They where about to take off when Naruto just stopped. Hinata and Shino waited as it seemed that Naruto was deep in thought.

" ( Fox, what the hell is that?)"

"( kit I don't know, but I can sense that your other mate is there)"

"( This chakra, what the hell is it?)"

"( What will you do? Are you off to play hero again?)"

Naruto stood there trying to figure out his next move, he didn't know what was going on. But this feeling he had was one he could not ignore. And besides, he kind of liked Anko she seems like fun. Naruto turned back to his teammates.

" Listen you two take these scrolls and haul ass to the tower".

" What do you mean? Where are you going? Is everything ok?" asked Hinata as she and Shino where confused

" To be honest I don't know, there is something in this forest that shouldn't be here. I need to go take care of it, but you two head to the tower and don't stop. You each have my seal on you so when I'm done I'll catch up".

Naruto didn't wait and took off, as Hinata and Shino saw him disappear into the forest.

At another part of the forest

Naruto had reached the source of the chakra, as he hid amongst the tree's he saw that Anko was pinned up against a tree. As he focused, he finally saw who it was.

"( Crap of all the people, Orochimaru what the hell is he doing here?)"

"( Naruto this is not someone to take likely)"

"( I know, the fucker is a sannin. Fox as soon as I get Anko out of the way, give me everything you can. Hopefully I can buy us some time)".

Naruto made a few clones, and gave them orders. He then turned his attention back to Anko and Orochimaru. He quickly wrapped up his chains and got ready.

" What the hell are you doing here Orochimaru?" said Anko as she was trying to break free but to no avail.

" My, my Anko-chan is that anyway to speak to your sensei. It's been far to long, but I see that you haven't been using the gift I gave you".

" Go to hell! You call the curse mark a gift! I'm going to kill you, if it's the last thing I do!

" kukuku, it seems you haven't learned anything. And as much as id like to stay and teach you again I'm afraid that there is someone else who needs my gift".

Anko's eyes widen with fear when she heard those words, having heard them herself long ago. Orochimaru then let go of one of her arms, as he pulled back his arm Anko could only watch. As Orochimaru sent his fist forward, Anko did something she had never done before in a fight. She closed her eyes, bracing herself for what could be the end. She was shocked when she felt no pain, and instead heard Orochimaru scream in pain. When she opened her eyes, she couldn't believe what she was seeing. Naruto had caught Orochimaru by the wrist, but his hand was on fire. When Orochimaru let go of Anko's other hand, Naruto quickly delivered a hard strike with his lighting hand to the face of Orochimaru. He was sent flying from the force of the hit.

" Gaki what are you…..".

Anko did not get to finish as another Naruto showed up and carried her off.

" ( Alright let's go fox!)"

"( Right!)"

A shockwave of chakra exploded as Naruto went into three tails mode. With his Mangekyo Sharigan behind his genjutsu, he readied himself. But what happen next was weird even for him, Orochimaru stood up his face and wrist burned from the hits. He looked at Naruto and opened his mouth to ridiculous proportions. Soon Orochimaru vomited himself out, and stood there looking good as new.

" kukuku, well if it isn't the nine tails jinjuriki. My you grew up to be big, and it seems you can tap into the foxes power".

" Orochimaru… why are you here?"

"kukuku, you sure are a brash one. What makes you think I'm going to tell you?"

" I'll tell you what I tell everyone else. You have two options, you could either tell me… or I make you!"

" My a brash one indeed, but enough stalling. I will play with you for awhile, now show me what you can do".

Naruto smirked, Orochimaru had called him out to a fight. And while yes he was trying to stall for a bit, this was an invitation he could not refuse. Naruto shot forward at top speed, the tree underneath them begging to crack from the pressure. They began to go at it in hand to hand combat, but for the first time Naruto could not land a hit on him. Every time he was close, Orochimaru would bend his body to strange lengths. And countering Naruto every chance he had, Naruto then tried to sweep his legs which made Orochimaru jump. Seeing this Naruto jumped straight into the air using all his force and drove his knee right into the stomach of the sannin. Orochimaru began to spit out blood, but Naruto then put both his hands together and slammed them with great force to the back of Orochimaru. It sent the sannin flying, hitting the branch they had been standing on hard enough to cause it to break sending him hurling to the floor. As Naruto was falling he made a clone and both of them flew through hand signs.

" Fire style: Dragon Flame bullet!"

" Lightning style: False darkness!"

They sent the jutsu flying, as the lightning and fire collided with it's target. There was a mass explosion, as Naruto used his clone to sling shot himself away from the blast. He landed a few feet away, he stared into the fire he knew that this was not over. He began to feel around, and just in time he sensed Orochimaru beneath him. Jumping out of the way in time, he saw Orochimaru spring out of the ground a sword coming out of his mouth. Naruto got some distance between them, and once again Orochimaru stood there good as new.

" kukuku, you really are interesting. It's a shame I can't use you, but I guess the Uchiha will do".

" What do you mean use me? And what do you want with Sasuke!?"

" Now that would be telling, but I must say he has a certain gift that I will have soon".

" You're after the Sharigan, I wont let you take Sasuke!"

" It seems that our time is up, but don't worry we will meet again real soon".

Orochimaru began to sink into the floor, Naruto tried to catch him but it was to late he was gone. Naruto was pissed off to say the least, Orochimaru had just been toying with him. And now he knows he needs to find Sasuke fast. When he got back up, he noticed that the Hokage in full battle gear and a few AMBU had arrived. Seeing this he powered down .

" Naruto what happen are you ok?" asked the hokage he looked around and saw the place was decimated.

" No, Orochimaru is here and he's after Sasuke".

" What!? I need to stop this exam immediately, everyone here is in grave danger".

" No! I will get to him first and then take his ass to the tower. Stopping the exams won't stop him, I'll get Sasuke. And one or two of you go get Anko, my clone took her about a half mile that way".

" Naruto do you have the scrolls?"

" Yes Hinata and Shino are waiting for me, now then I'll be going I have to find him".

The Hokage nodded and took off, Naruto then sat down in a lotus position and began to concentrate. But was having a hard time, his head was not clear from the fight this was going to take him a bit.

With team seven and Lee

Sasuke and his group had been making their way through the forest, having gotten the scroll they needed they where going full speed towards the tower. Suddenly Kiba signal them to stop, they came to halt in the middle of a clearing of the forest. As they looked around to see if any enemy was nearby, Akumaru began to whimper .

" Akumaru what's wrong?" asked Kiba as he tried to help his partner calm down. Then echoing all around them was a creepy laugh.

" Kukuku, I guess it's true what they say. Animals can sense, the presence of evil".

From the ground not far away from them, Orochimaru rose and stood there before them.

" Who the hell are you? And what did you do to Akumaru!" yelled Kiba as he charged Orochimaru

" Kiba don't do it" yelled Sasuke but his warning fell on deaf ears.

Orochimaru smirked as Kiba neared him, with little effort Orochimaru side stepped him before kicking him away to crash into a tree.

" Kiba!" yelled Sakura as she wanted to move but could not. Neither could Lee or Sasuke, as they felt crushed with KI. As Orochimaru began to walk closer, the feeling grew and grew inside of them.

" Sasuke, I came to give you a gift".

Orochimaru lunged forward, as he neared Sasuke he was blindsided.

" Leaf whirlwind!"

Rock Lee managed to hit Orochimaru, causing the sannin to get sent flying sideways. Not wasting any time, he turned around and slapped both Sasuke and Sakura.

" Snap out of it, we need to get out of here now".

Sakura and Sasuke snapped out of their trance, when they looked at Lee they notice he was bleeding from his hand. It seems that he had stabbed himself, before they could do anything however Orochimaru got their attention.

" Do you really believe, that you can get away from me?"

Orochimaru charged the three, but this time they weren't backing down. They knew they only had one chance. Rock Lee and Sasuke went first, as they both threw a straight to the face. Orochimaru easily caught there fist, but before he could do anything Sakura jumped high and launched kunai at him. Letting go Orochimaru began to jump back to avoid the kunai. As he did Sasuke went through hand signs.

" Fire style: fire ball jutsu!"

Orochimaru smirked as the jutsu neared him, jumping out of the way he quickly put his hands up to block Lee's kick. Grabbing onto his leg Orochimaru swung Lee, who hit the ground hard. He then turned his attention to Sakura and Sasuke, and notice Sasuke's eyes.

" Oh Sasuke, what amazing eyes you have. Although, I don't think you've fully matured them yet. At this rate, you will never reach Itachi".

" What did you say!"

Sasuke rushed Orochimaru, his anger taking over. They began to exchange blows but Orochimaru was too fast for him. Sakura seeing this, began to think, she had to find a way to help without getting in the way. That's when Lee joined her.

" Lee are you ok?"

" I am fine Sakura, but this is not good. Sakura I'm about to something, when I do grab Kiba and you guy's run".

Sakura was about to say something when they heard Sasuke screaming in pain. Orochimaru had been beating the crap out of him. And was currently holding Sasuke by the neck.

" Poor Sasuke, you will never be stronger if you keep this up. Why don't you let me give you power".

Orochimaru began to open his mouth, when he let go of Sasuke to get out of Lee's attack. Orochimaru felt annoyed, but he knew he would have his prize soon. Lee stood there, he knew that this next move would have to do it. Orochimaru watched as Lee unwrapped his gauze when he was done Lee began to run with incredible speed around him. Orochimaru watched as he waited for the genin, soon Lee appeared beneath him and kicked him with such force that Orochimaru was sent into the air. Orochimaru quickly saw that Lee had appeared behind him, then the gauze from Lee's hands wrapped around him sealing him tight inside a cocoon. Lee then grabbed on as he and Orochimaru, began to spin around as they went head first to the ground.

" Primary lotus!"

Sakura and Sasuke watched as Lee and Orochimaru hit the ground. Sasuke made it back to his feet, as he went to join Sakura. The dust began to clear and they spotted Lee, he was on one knee outside the crater that he had made.

" What are you still doing here!? I told you to run". Lee yelled as he was trying to make it back to his feet, but was having a hard time doing so.

" What do you mean Lee you got him". Said Sakura

" Sakura go get Kiba, we need to go now". Said Sasuke

Sakura was about to move, when Orochimaru appear behind them. Before Sakura could react, Orochimaru had snakes that came out of his sleeves. And wrapped her up

" Sakura!" yelled Sasuke and Lee

Sasuke turned back to Orochimaru who was now next to him, Orochimaru's neck began to stretch as his teeth became fangs. Orochimaru was inches away from Sasuke's neck, when Lee jumped between them. Sasuke watched as Lee's arm went in between Orochimaru's mouth, and the fangs dug into it. Not letting go of Lee's arm he swung him over his shoulder, letting Lee roll away clenching his arm. " ( I wonder what will happen)" thought Orochimaru, he then turned to Sasuke who was still trying to process what happen. He tried to take a swing, but Orochimaru slithered around him. Sasuke then felt the worst pain in his life, as Orochimaru dug his fangs into his neck. Screaming in pain Sasuke fell to the floor.

" What did you do? What did you to the both of them!?" yelled Sakura as she was cutting her way out of the snakes.

" kukuku, I just gave a gift to him. And one day he will come to me, in search of power". Said Orochimaru as he began to sink in the floor. The snakes soon disappear from Sakura, standing back up she saw that Kiba was once again walking towards her.

" Sakura what the hell happened here?" he said looking around and seeing the unconscious teammate and Lee.

" Kiba grab Lee we need to hurry, we have to find a place to rest for now". Kiba nodded as he went over to pick up lee, while Sakura got Sasuke soon they all took off in look of refuge.

With Naruto

Naruto had been running through the forest, he wasn't able to fully concentrate. That's why earlier, he had caught a glimpse of Gaara killing a few rain shinobi. He continues to search when something hit him, turning around but what threw him off was. That it wasn't just one source of dark chakra but two, not wasting any more time he took of at full speed. When Naruto arrived he did not know what to make of it, it looked like all hell had broken lose. Sakura and Kiba where kneeling next to each other, looking like they had gotten their asses handed to them. Ino, Shikumaru and Choji where also there, but not looking like they where faring any better. But then he turned his attention to the source of dark chakra, it was Sasuke and Lee. Sasuke was currently holding both arm's of a shinobi, Naruto noticed the dark flame like pattern covered his face and arms. Lee on the other hand stood over a downed opponent, with one foot over his face. Naruto also notice that the guy's arm, more specifically the metal he had on it before was completely destroyed. Just like Sasuke Lee had black marks on his face, his however looked like lightning bolts scattered all over him. The girl who was with them earlier laid a few feet away, she seemed to be unconscious.

" What are you doing? Let go of me! We surrender". Yelled the one Sasuke was holding down.

" That's funny, I don't remember asking if you did. Now then, these arm's of yours".

Every one could only watch in horror, Sasuke slowly began to pull the guys arms back. What made it worse was the look on Sasuke's face, he looked like he was taking pleasure in this. It didn't take too long for the screams of the shinobi to stop, Sasuke let go of his arm's as he fell to the floor unconscious from the pain. Seeing that it was over, Naruto jumped down landing near the two.

" Damn Sasuke, did not see that coming. Now that your finished, what say we all head to the tower and call it a day".

Sasuke and Lee turned to see the blonde, as a look of relief came over Sakura. While everyone else thought he was nuts, Sasuke and Lee where out of control.

" Naruto! I want to fight you!"

" Yes! These two were weak, and my flames of youth are strong. I will fight you too".

Sakura began to feel fear again, Sasuke was so different so cold. And Lee, what she saw him do. Naruto on the other hand, began to wonder. What the hell had gotten into them, what did Orochimaru do.

" Listen you two, I usually don't back down from anything. But right now our comrades look like crap, how about we get this test over with. And then I can beat the crap out of the both of you".

" NARUTO!" yelled both Sasuke and Lee, as they rush the blonde. Naruto got ready, the three began to have an all out fist fight. Naruto found himself playing defense, not only that but he couldn't get a hit in. When he would dodge a punch from Sasuke, he would have to block from Lee's attack. Not only that but Sasuke was hitting harder and moving faster, and Lee was hitting with the same amount of force.

" This is incredible, how is Naruto doing this". Said Ino shocked at what she was seeing.

" This isn't good, we need to think of a way to help him. At this rate, Naruto will lose". Said Shikumaru as he began to rack his brain.

" Don't get involved, Naruto can do it". Said Sakura who got a look from every one that said, are you crazy.

Naruto began to push back the two, but it wasn't easy. Lee tried to do a round house kick to Naruto's head but was caught. Naruto then swept his other leg, as he did that he spun around to dodge Sasuke. But instead of moving away, he spun into the ground driving his elbow into Lee's solarplexes. "( one down)" Naruto thought as he quickly moved, getting back to his feet Naruto quickly got close to Sasuke. Catching his left hand Naruto then haymaker Sasuke in the face, but Sasuke did not fall. Instead his head snapped back, this caught Naruto by surprise he thought he had hit him hard enough to knock him out. Instead Sasuke return the favor, causing Naruto to let go of his hand. When Naruto was turning from the hit, Lee showed up and landed a hard strike to Naruto's face. The two began to tee off on the blonde, who kept trying to get his bearings. As the charged for another attack, they where pushed back by a shockwave. Not being knocked down the two stood there, seeing Naruto as his chakra swirled around him.

" Ok… now I'm actually pissed off!"

Faster then before, Naruto rushed and got between the two. He quickly drove his elbow into Lee's face, turning around he blocked Sasuke's punch only to grab him from the back of the head and hitting him with a knee to the face. Not stopping he turned back in time to dodge Lee's attack . Naruto then began to deliver a series of body strikes to Lee, who fell to the floor. Naruto was about to hit him again, when he notice the marks on his face receding. Turning back to Sasuke, who was picking himself of the floor.

" Hey you!"

They all turned there attention to the source of the voice, Naruto saw that it was Lee's teammates. Neji and Tenten ( cannon style looks), Neji had his byakugan activated as he was staring down the blonde.

" Your going to pay, for what you did". Said Neji

Naruto didn't acknowledge him, as he turned his attention back to Sasuke. Sasuke tried to attack Naruto again, only for Naruto to dodge and get behind him. He grab Sasuke in a full nelson, then turned to Neji.

" Neji, get your ass down here and seal him up".

Neji was about to go off, when Tenten put a hand on his shoulder and just nodded. He then looked back down to the blonde before jumping down and closing a few of Sasuke's chakra points. Naruto then let go of Sasuke who fell too the floor, he then went over to Lee and slammed his hand into his back.

" Fuinn Jutsu: Paralyze Seal!"

Neji and Tenten where shock, Neji was about to attack Naruto when Naruto turned back and put his hand up.

" Hold on, I don't feel like having to kick your ass too".

" What did you say!" said Neji as he took his stance

" Look dumbass, I just put a seal on him. He is fine, just making sure that he won't be able to flip out again. Sakura, Shikumaru do you guys have the scrolls?"

" Yes we got them, we where going to the tower when…" said Sakura

" Yeah I know, what about you?" said Naruto to Shikumaru

" Yeah we got them too". Was all he said

" What about you?" said Naruto turning back to Neji

" What does it matter to you?" said Neji not really trusting the blonde

" Look I'm about to take us to the tower, you can go or stay I don't care. But I'm taking Lee with me".

" Do you think, I will let you?" said Neji, Naruto then walked over to him getting right in his face

" Lee needs help, and I wasn't asking. Trust me when I say this, your picking a bad day to fight me".

" That's enough you two, Neji he is right Lee needs help now. And if he can get us there fast, it would be better then dragging Lee through the rest of the forest". Said Tenten

Neji clench his fist, but he knew she was right.

" So tell me, how do you plan on getting to the tower?"

" Simple just grab Lee, and you over there get Sasuke and come over here. All you have to do, is grab on to me and I'll do the rest".

They all did what Naruto told them to do, after what they saw. Pissing off the blonde was not the way to go. Making a circle around him, they all placed there hands on Naruto. Naruto then closed his eyes, soon there was a flash off light and they were all gone.

At the tower

Hinata and Shino had been waiting outside the tower for what seem like an eternity. Hinata's worry grew and grew, but soon it was over. They saw the flash, there was Naruto along with every one else. Hinata and Shino ran over, but Hinata fear returned seeing Naruto's condition.

" Naruto!" yelled Hinata as she got to Naruto who looked like he was about to pass out.

" Hey I'm sorry to worry you, but it's ok now".

Shino then went over to check on the others. He helped them get onto their feet, as they where shaking off the effects of the jump. Before anyone could ask any questions, Naruto and Hinata began to walk into the tower. Seeing this, everyone followed as they entered the tower they saw the first floor was just a empty room. Looking around they saw that at the end of the room was a large frame, walking over Naruto began to read the damn thing.

" Hinata, give me the scrolls". Said Naruto, she took out the scrolls and handed them over. Naruto then opened them both, as he did he quickly threw them to floor a few feet away. Soon there was a puff of smoke, and there stood Yamato.

" Sensei, what are you doing here?" asked Hinata

" Well it's part of the exam, the scrolls are summoning's and if you where to open them before you reach the tower. Then we where order to knock you guys out, now tell me what happen?" he said while looking at Naruto, it was rare to see the blonde in this state

" I'll explain later, I'm guessing we passed and they need help". He said while pointing to Sasuke and Lee

" Right, you two take them to the third floor. For the rest off you, open your scrolls your sensei will know what to do. Now you three come with me".

Yamato began to lead the three through the tower, after climbing a few stairs they ended up on a floor that had many room's. He led them to a room, at the end of the hall going into the last room.

" Naruto tell me, what happen to you out there?"

Naruto went on to tell them what happened, as he told his story Yamato's blood boiled. Not only was someone from his past back, but he attacked his student. When Naruto was done, Yamato told him he would have to go with him to the top of the tower. The Hokage was there, and Naruto would have to tell him everything. Naruto agreed, but told Yamato that Hinata would have to come. Yamato just nodded, after everything that's happen he knew Naruto had a reason. When they got to the room they quickly made their way in, seeing who it was the Hokage ordered the ANBU to leave. Naruto quickly applied his seal to the room, he didn't want anyone to hear anything.

" Naruto, Hinata it's good to see you have made it. And it seems that you, were able to get the other's here to".

" Yeah, but gramps I wasn't able to get to them before Orochimaru. He did something to Lee and Sasuke. They changed, I had to power up to beat them both. What the hell did he do to them?" the Hokage sunk his head when he heard Naruto's words, he knew what Orochimaru did.

" Naruto, Lee and Sasuke now have a curse seal on them".

" What the hell is that?"

" In his twisted endeavors, Orochimaru learned about seals. He went as far to create his own much like yourself, however this curse seal is like a poison".

" Hokage do you mean it's killing them?" asked Hinata worried about her friends.

" No it's not killing them physically, it has more to do with their mind. The seal grants the user a great amount of power, but the more they use it the more they get addicted. Slowly it begins to drive them mad, as the craving grows more and more within them to posses more power".

" I see, and with someone like Sasuke. I guess he is betting that the seal will make Sasuke want to go to him for more power. And from the way your speaking, there probably isn't a way to remove it".

" You are correct, not even Jirraya could do it. He tried to help Anko, but he never found a way".

" That would explain why she was acting the way she was in the forest. Gramps is there anyway you could bring her here, I want to take a look at the seal myself".

The Hokage nodded as he flared his chakra, soon a Ambu showed up and took off to get Anko. They did not have to wait long, as the door opened and in walked the purple haired shinobi.

" Gaki, I'm surprised your alive".

" Good to see you too, now listen I need you to show me your curse mark". Anko froze up a bit, as she turned to see the Hokage who nodded for her to go ahead.

" I don't know what your looking for, no one could help me". She said as she removed her trench coat. She then pulled on her shirt a bit so that Naruto could see it. He carefully examined it a few times, he had never seen a seal like this. But he needed more information.

" Hey, can you do what Sasuke did and make that seal spread over your body?"

" What!? You mean that basterd did this to someone else?"

" Yes, so can you do it or no?"

" Yeah I can, and just so you know when the marks spread over the body. It's called stage one." Anko began to activate the seal, as she did that Naruto activated his Sharrigan. He saw how the seal began to glow before spreading over Anko, when she was done Naruto took a step back. He realize that the seal was tuned to Orochimaru's chakra, it would take him some time to find a way to remove it. He also notice that Anko felt pain using the damn thing, and that he could fix.

" Are you satisfy" asked Anko she really did not like what she was currently doing. Naruto did not answer, as he was deep in thought.

" Hey gramps, I'll be right back". Said Naruto as he flashed out of the room.

When everyone realized what Naruto just did, they turned to see Anko. Her eye's were wider than hell, she hadn't seen that flash in a long long time.

" Did… did that kid just".

" Anko, I'm sure you have a few questions right now. But for now, you are not allowed to say anything of what you just saw. Am I clear?" Said the Hokage, to which Anko just nodded. One thing was sure in her mind, Naruto was full of surprises. After a few minutes of waiting, there was another flash and there stood Naruto holding a very large scroll.

" Alright Anko, I can't remove the damn thing right now. But I can do the next best thing". He said as he put the scroll on the ground, opening it and revealing a large seal.

" And what is that?" she asked.

" I'm going to seal the damn thing so tight, that it won't hurt you. So it's like it won't be there, at least until I can get the thing off you. Now take off your shirt, and sit your ass in the middle of the scroll". The Hokage quickly turned his head, not wanting anyone to see his nose bleed. While Yamato, just turned around to give Anko privacy.

" Wow Naruto, haven't even bought me a drink and your already getting me out of my clothes". Said Anko as she did what Naruto said, Naruto began to write kanji all over Anko's upper body.

" Alright there I'm done, now this may hurt for a bit". Said Naruto as he stood over Anko.

" It's alright, I can take it". Naruto nodded as he began to go through hand signs.

" Fuinjutsu style: Evil Sealing Method"

The marks on Anko's body began to glow, soon all the kanji began to retreat to the point of the seal. Soon the kanji formed a circle around the curse mark, when the light died down Naruto carefully watched. The kanji had set, and his seal seem to be working.

" There you go, how are you feeling?" Anko did not answer, instead she jumped up and wrapped her self around Naruto. This once again caused the Hokage to turn away, as the half naked Anko was really holding on tight.

" It's like it's not even there, I can't feel it at all". She said as she gave him a kiss on the check.

" Alright Anko, as much fun as this would be. I need to seal up, Sasuke and Lee". Anko snapped out of her happy trance, and understood what Naruto had to do. The Hokage sent one of his ANBU to get Sasuke first, as they waited the Hokage noticed Naruto's condition. He had never seen the blonde this exhausted, Naruto was using the wall to keep himself standing. Yamato notice as well, he was worried about him.

" Naruto maybe you could wait a bit, it looks like your about to collapse". Said Yamato

" I'll be fine, not everyday stuff like this happens. Not going to lie, by the time I'm done with the both of them I'll probably pass out". When Naruto was done Sasuke walked in, noticing who was in the room he walked over to Naruto.

" Naruto… about earlier I don't really know what happen. I felt strange, and acted out of instinct".

" Save it, that doesn't matter right now. All that matters is sealing up that mark on your neck, now sit in the scroll".

" But why this power is…"

" Sasuke, Naruto is trying to help you" said Hinata when Sasuke saw the look on her face. He knew that she was right, Hinata face was one of concern. Nodding he did as he was told, Naruto did the same process but in Sasuke's case he passed out. When they where done the Hokage had a AMBU take Sasuke to his room, not to long after that Lee walked in to the room.

" Naruto, I am really sorry for my un youthful actions earlier. Please accept my apology".

" It's fine Lee, look before I do anything. Hinata use your byakugan, and check Lee's network for me". Everyone was trying to figure out where Naruto was going with this, but Hinata did as she was told. If the look on her face was any indication, what she saw shocked her.

" I don't understand, his chakra network has changed".

" what do you mean Hinata?" asked the Hokage

" well when I first saw Lee with my byakugan, his chakra network was very thin. But now, the chakra network is different its like every one else's".

" Lee do you know how to gather chakra?" asked Naruto

" Yes, but I have never been..".

" Then do it now" said Naruto he wanted to see for himself. Lee nodded and put his hands together, soon they all watch as Lee began to put out a large amount of chakra.

" This is incredible, but how is this possible?" asked Lee, he never felt this before.

" Lee where is your curse mark?"

" You mean that strange symbol on my arm, it appeared after that strange man bit me". He said as he showed the mark to everyone. Naruto kept staring at it, he saw that it was not activated when Lee gathered chakra. "( it looks like the damn curse mark actually did something good)" thought Naruto.

" Alright Lee, listen I need to seal that mark away. But don't worry I'm sure that it won't take away your new network" . Lee nodded as Naruto did the whole process once more, just like Sasuke Lee passed out. Soon Lee was taken away, as Naruto turned back to the Hokage.

" Alright gramps, I'm going to pass out now I'll see you in a day or two". Naruto began to fall backwards but was caught by Yamato. He then excused himself with Hinata and left to take Naruto, as they left the room the Hokage worried about the future of his village.
