Chapter 33

Sakura ran through the forest the earth scroll clutched tightly in her hand, she was panting as she turned her head to look behind her, she tripped over an overgrown root falling hard to the floor, she tucked the scroll into her chest as she rolled with the fall, she coughed as she tried to catch her breath before sprinting to her feet. She barrelled headlong into solid body, she felt her wrist being grabbed stopping her fall.

"Well, well look at this, a sweet little blossom just brought us our missing scroll how kind." She looked up into the handsome face of a blue haired rain ninja.

"Let go their coming, they killed my team mates please you can have my scroll but we need to run, NOW!" she screamed pulling on the rain ninja's hand.

"What's coming blossom?"

"The wolves." She struggled out of his grip as the first wolf appeared in the clearing. Its coat was a dull grey with a streak of brown running through it. It snarled as it saw the three rain ninja blocking its path towards its prey. It howled its entire body quivering with the sound.

"Kaito, there's just one we can kill it then take her scroll as compensation, for our struggle," a curly haired blond sniggered, his forehead protector wrapped around his upper arm, and his torso bare.

"What do you think Ryuu?" the one known as Kaito asked, turning back to the blue haired ninja.

Kaito had a high collared shirt open exposing his torso, with a belt and shorts, an umbrella tucked into a strap running diagonally across his chest. He had brown hair which spiked up in much the same way as Naruto's did, as was just as handsome as his two team mates.

"Wolves travel in packs, and the blossom said her team mates were killed by them, so they've already killed two, remember Yoshi you're our luck, we can't lose as long as we've got you." Ryuu smirked, causing Yoshi the young brunette to blush as he was pushed behind his two team mates to join where Sakura was cowering backed up against a tree.

They watched as more wolves joined the first one circling them; the wolves had them out numbered four to one. They spotted that two brown wolves each with a darker patch along their muzzles and a lighter bit of fur along the back, both eerily identical where injured her team mates had probably got to those two before they'd been over whelmed. Then that left the other three that had ambled into the picture, two girls from the size of them a white one with smatterings of blonde and a deep black one with a hint of blue to her fur, she wolves were deadly at the best of times but you did not want to leave them to last or take out their mate first. Damn wolves.

The final one was the biggest and was a light brown colour; he was the strongest of the lot, from the size of him. The one that had followed the girl into their path growled hackles rising as Ryuu began to run through hand signs. There were seven wolves altogether, not good odds unless you were a shinobi. Kaito laughed as he pulled his umbrella from his place on his back, this would be fun.

He opened the umbrella twirling it on his shoulder as he eyed the circling wolves, with a snarl from the leader the twin wolves attacked rushing towards them. Ryuu finished his seals as a column of water erupted out of the ground turning into a dragon, the leader wolf's eyes narrowed as it watched the dragon rear its head. It jumped back as the wolf with marks round its eyes bounced off a tree trunk to avoid the dragon its claws extended and mouth open, snarl set in place.

"Should never mess with a rain nin especially one with an umbrella," Kaito laughed, getting ready to release the needles which were hidden inside said umbrella.

"You shouldn't take your eyes off your surroundings, even when surrounded by wolves." Naruto spoke from behind him.

Kaito's eyes widened as he was knocked forwards from the blast of the exploding tag Naruto had placed on his back. Ryuu spun round at the voice as a bird darted towards his head, knocking the female attacking wolves back with his water dragon.

"Same goes for you dragon boy." Sasuke said from his branch above the wolves his hands sat in a familiar seal as he took a deep breath and exhaled his signature jutsu.

He was as the fireball was extinguished by the water dragon which reared its head towards him.

"Not such a wise move, pretty boy." Ryuu chuckled, eyeing Sasuke as he clenched his fist.

Naruto skidded under the twin wolves as they spun to attack Ryuu he pushed up as he reached Kaito, hitting him with a closed fist catching him on the cheek, he used his other arm to grab the strap around Kaito's chest and pulled him forwards as his other fist travelled to connect with his head, he dropped the knocked out shinobi to the ground making sure he really was out for the count, before throwing him over to Sakura who had an out cold Yoshi leaning back against the tree. He smiled and saluted her before bouncing off to help Sasuke fight against the water dragon guy.

Sasuke was starting to sweat as the pain in his neck started to take over his body; he hadn't rested as much as he should have, as he felt the pain flare as he used his sharigan to dodge the water dragon which was now concentrating all its efforts on him.

Sakura threw her scroll up into the air where Tsubasa caught it and hovered out the way, just above her hidden in the foliage of the leaves. Sakura smirked pulling out a kunai and knocking little Yoshi out; he crumpled to the floor from the blow to the back of his head. She gathered him up and leant him back against the tree, and began searching him for his team's scroll.

"Naruto!" he called out as he was knocked back into a tree, the blonde wolf, and the bigger one walking over to him.

Sakura pulled Naruto's recently knocked out guy to the tree leaning him up against it as she began to search him for the much needed scroll.

"Hey Dragon guy here catch!" Naruto shouted throwing a scroll which slowly unravelled towards the enemy ninja. There was a cloud of smoke surrounding the scroll as the bear Naruto had sealed earlier was finally released.

The bear blinked blearily before a roar erupted from its mouth as it advanced towards Ryuu, who turned the water dragon towards the advancing bear.

"When did you seal a bear?" Sakura cried at Naruto.

"Ran into a girl who was separated from her team mates, any luck finding their scroll?"

"No it's not on either of these guys. Sasuke are you all right?" Sakura caught Sasuke gripping his shoulder above his strange mark, tightly.

"Fine Naruto he must have the scroll." Sasuke slid down the tree, breathing heavily.

Ryuu stumbled back as his dragon splashed against the raging bear, he flung kunai as the bear continued to advance towards him. Naruto tilted his head towards the bear making the wolves head over there. He spun a kunai into his hand and sped towards Ryuu. The wolves launched themselves at the bear, drawing both the bear's and Ryuu's attention.

"What did I say about watching your surroundings?" Naruto's voice came from below him as he looked down to see Naruto poised on one hand as he kicked up towards him. Ryuu was sent back into a tree which he bounced off back towards Naruto, who punched him in the stomach knocking all the wind from him and brought the kunai in hand down on his head knocking him out.

"Alright take him to Sakura," Naruto whistled, as the wolves left the roaring bear, "and will you be quiet!" Naruto shouted catching the bear in the head with the butt of his kunai he danced out the way as the bear sunk to the ground out cold.

"You have one hard hit Naruto," Sakura laughed as the wolves dragged the remaining team mate over, and she leaned him up against the tree, beginning to search him.

"You alright Sasuke?" Naruto asked holding a hand out to his very sick looking team mate.

"Hnn," Sasuke took the pro-offered hand being pulled to his feet.

"AH-HA! I got it! It really is a heaven scroll, great plan Naruto!" Sakura jumped up waving the scroll, making Tsubasa flutter down and drop their earth scroll into her hand.

"Still too far to the tower, to get there like this," Naruto mused. "Hey Sakura, can you set up a genjutsu for when these guys wake up?"

"Sure I'll try what do you want?"

"When they wake up they're bound to come after us, I want you to make it so that the tower is in that direction, just long enough to give us a chance to get a head of them." Sakura nodded putting the scrolls away inside her pouch, and beginning the hand seals for a genjustu.

"And how are we going to get to the tower unnoticed dobe?" Sasuke snorted.

Naruto smiled pointing to the wolves sat waiting patiently next to them. Sasuke smirked, while Sakura added a second genjutsu to the bear just to be safe.

(Line)

Kabuto frowned; he couldn't believe he'd been so stupid to fall for a simple trick. Now instead of being with Sasuke's team, he was in the middle of the forest by himself with no trace of any of the rookies from the leaf village, he twirled Naruto's card in his hand watching as it continued to flash between stats. He needed to find Sasuke and Naruto and fix this problem.

He jumped as a pack of wolves streaked past him. He didn't think there were any wolves in this forest. His frown deepened, when he spotted a little bird hovering by the blondish white wolf's left ear. Now he thought about it was that wolf tinged pink? Clever little gits, the rookies had transformed into wolves and were weaving their way towards the tower. He felt the malevolent chakra that radiated from one of the black wolves, what an interesting development; he pushed his glasses up his nose as the Card flickered again adjusting to what he had just learned.

(Line)

The wolves darted past following the lead of the black wolf with a blue tint, as she jumped between the trees. They had broken the perimeter of the tower moments ago, and she was now searching for three doors next to each other so they wouldn't be separated for too long, she stopped as she found what she was looking for as Sasuke dropped the henge. The other wolves all followed suit, revealing the rookie nine stood in their place.

"Each team should take a different door." Shikamaru nodded strolling over to the door on the left with team eight walked over to the door on the right leaving team seven to take the door in the middle.

"See you on the inside." Naruto smiled pushing open the door, with its seal still intact.

(Line)

Kabuto and his team stepped into the tower, earlier than expected, walking through to find Orochimaru leaning against the wall.

"Kabuto you look troubled." Orochimaru chuckled.

"I am sorry, I wasn't able to gain the data you seek, this is all I have." He handed over a card to him, bowing low.

"What do you think of my choice?" Orochimaru pushed chakra into the card watching as it lit up and reading the information displayed.

"I doesn't matter what I think, you've already made your decision." Kabuto replied. "I think you should see this though." He held out another card and watched as it lit up flickering between stats.

"How very interesting, indeed." Orochimaru's tongue darted out, "You've done well my spy." He disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

(Line)

Team seven walked into a room with a large calligraphy square on the wall, Sasuke moved away from their supporting embracing reading the message written there.

"It makes no sense, without heaven, what's that supposed to mean?" Sasuke pouted.

"There must be words missing, maybe they're in the scrolls. That's why we couldn't open them before; we needed to open them in the tower." Sakura laughed, it echoed round the room.

She pulled the scrolls out, handing one to Naruto as Tsubasa settled in Naruto's scarf.

"Open them at the same time." Sasuke noted, crossing his arms.

Slowly they undid the scrolls opening them up to arms length when they noticed the markings on the scroll throwing the scrolls away from themselves as smoke started to emit from the centre of the seal written inside. Hands at the ready in their weapon pouches they waited as the smoke cleared.

"Hey, long time no see." Iruka smiled at them.

Naruto removed his hands from his pouch slowly as the fact that Iruka had come out of the scrolls registered. Kakashi hadn't come to greet them. Iruka watched the emotions flicker across Naruto's face before he was engulfed in a hug by his favourite blonde. He smiled wrapping his arms around Naruto.

"I don't understand why Iruka sensei was summoned?" Sakura turned to Sasuke who looked just as shocked as she did.

"At the end of the second test we chunin can meet up with the exam takers, and I was allowed to greet you."

Kakashi didn't want to come did he?" Naruto whispered.

Iruka pulled back holding Naruto at arm's length. "He did, but I asked to come in his stead, I hardly get to see you guys anymore, well except you Naruto, but it's nice to see how much you've grown all of you." Iruka smiled.

Naruto quirked his mouth, stepping back he knew Iruka was lying and that it was for his benefit more than the others. Iruka pulled out an old watch and looked at the time.

"Hmm not bad, it's only the third day of the test and all the rookies arrived together, which is quite a unique feat really. Anyway I'm supposed to tell you three that you've passed the second part of the chunin exam. Congratulations." He watched them all sink to the floor as they let their exhaustion take over.

"So what would have happened, if we had opened the scrolls Iruka sensei?" Naruto asked leaning back on his hands.

"Right well as I'm sure you figured out the test was set up to test your ability to perform missions correctly. So if you were to break the rules and open the scrolls those exam takers who failed to follow the rules would have been put in to a state of unconsciousness for the remainder of the test period, those were our orders."

"Great plan Shikamaru," Naruto smiled.

"Hmm, oh yeah Sensei what does the writing on the wall mean? There's a word missing or something so we can't figure it out." Sakura asked meekly.

"Yeah I'm supposed to explain that as well." He cleared his throat. "It's the motto of the chunin written by the third hokage."

"Something overly complicated which is actually really simple." Naruto shrugged.

"Yeah he does tend to be like that. Anyway, in this paragraph heaven means the human mind and the earth refers to the human body. If you lack heaven seek wisdom, be prepared. If you lack earth, run in the fields, seek advantages. Naruto?"

"Basically the first part says; gain knowledge and prepare for missions. While the second part says train hard. Over complicated see." Naruto shrugged.

"You can tell him that." Iruka laughed, "Now if you have both heaven and earth you can succeed in even the most dangerous missions. Basically all missions become safe and easy."

"So the missing words?" Sakura asked.

"The words which represent chunin. The person word from the scrolls goes there so the last sentence reads; these rules will guide a person's extremes."

"But that's wrong, missions aren't safe or easy, you should never let your guard down, grandpa has seriously confused me there." Naruto shrugged.

"How would you have put it?" Sakura snapped.

"Those with sound of mind should fulfil their body, while those with sound of body should fulfil their mind. Those with both sound of mind and body shall step forward unto new challenges, for only then will you succeed." Naruto sighed, a yawn escaping him.

"You'd make a great sage Naruto, always rather wise," Iruka laughed. He watched them all yawning as their exhaustion caught up with them. "I know you guys are tired but just hang on for a little bit more then we'll get you guys fully rested. The five days of survival were to test the basic skills of the participants, to see if they had what it takes to become a chunin. You three all successfully pass that. Chunins are at the military rank of captain, you guys will have the responsibility of guiding a team. The knowledge, stamina, and inner wisdom are all need for your future duties; I want you to remember this motto when you challenge the next step in these exams. That is all I have to pass on to you." Iruka smiled.

"Right. Thanks Iruka sensei." Naruto smiled.

"Let's get you guys to a room while we wait for the last two days to be over and the next part of the exam to begin." Iruka smiled.

(Line)

Iruka quietly closed the door behind him as he left a very exhausted team seven asleep in bed. He looked up as Asuma walked over with Kurenai; both had a raised eyebrow at seeing Iruka there.

"Where's Kakashi?"

"I'm not really sure; he came to ask me if I'd mind greeting them when this was over with." Iruka shrugged.

"I told him about Naruto." Asuma nodded.

"Oh right that makes so much sense now, he asked to see Naruto's file when I was filling out some paper work, I think he gets it now."

"But it's too late, he's lost Naruto." Kurenai said leaning against the wall.

"No not entirely, I think Naruto knows he needs to step away, it's not fair on any of them otherwise. No Naruto knows what he's doing, he cares about Kakashi too much to cut him out of his life, but it will take something big for Naruto to believe Kakashi is sincere about his well being. They're a lot more alike than you think." Iruka rubbed the bridge of his nose sheepishly.

"But do you think Kakashi will figure that out?" Kurenai asked looking between the two men.

"For their sakes I hope so." Asuma sighed moving the cigarette from one side of his mouth to the other.

"Anyway when did you two get together?" Iruka asked looking between the two.

"We're not together." They both spluttered moving apart instantly.

"Okay, okay sorry, be a shame if you two weren't, you'd make a really nice couple." Iruka smiled walking back down the corridor that the two jounin had just come from.

The two jounin looked to each other blushing furiously.

(Line)

Team seven woke early on the final day, and wandered out to find food and their fellow rookies, stepping into a large room with lots of food, they found Choji eating his way up and down the buffet set out for them all. Naruto and Sakura dragged Sasuke over, piling a healthy heaping onto his plate before making themselves one up each.

"I still think you should go to the medic's Sasuke and you too Naruto, you seem off."

"I'm fine Sakura, honest, but Sasuke..."

"No! I will not do anything until Kakashi sensei is here. Lazy bastard can't even be bothered to turn up." He muttered under his breath as he ate his food.

"You're a lot grouchier today what did you do yesterday while we were asleep." Naruto tilted his head to the side.

Sasuke ignored him, he had taken a walk around the tower while his team were asleep he'd come across team Gai training, well Lee training with Tenten, he watched his sharigan active as he observed their movements, he smirked when Lee used his signature move, that could be quite a useful technique.

"Hey Earth to Sasuke, we've got a few hours to kill before this part of the exam is over what did you want to do?" Naruto asked.

"Train, we've been resting too much lately."

"You can never get too much rest look at Shikamaru," Naruto laughed.

"My point exactly." He sneered, "Are you two coming?" he stood from their table.

"Well at least he's including them both now." Kiba muttered.

"Yes but he hasn't got that thing on his neck checked out. Did Naruto tell you what was wrong with him?" Shino turned to Hinata, who was looking worriedly after team seven. She shook her head as team ten followed their gaze.

(Line)

Izumo and Kotetsu had finally managed to get to the room at the top of the tower with the Hokage, Anko, and Turtle, the latter two sat on the couch. Anko was rubbing her curse mark the Hokage had resealed it earlier and was now checking on her to see if she was in any pain.

"But isn't Orochimaru one of the three legendary leaf ninja, listed in the hand book as an S class missing nin that even the ANBU can't get close too, I thought he died already." Kotetsu spoke to Izumo.

"Naruto would tell you about him, you're lucky he's been asleep for the past two days." Hikaru flinched knowing he would be in for it when he saw Naruto next.

"What's the big deal with Naruto anyway; even Orochimaru was impressed by him." Anko muttered.

"You'll see," Hikaru stated.

"Okay but why would Orochimaru come back to the village now?" Izumo continued his earlier conversation with Kotetsu.

"Sasuke." The Hokage puffed on his pipe making both chunin look at him in shock.

"Why him? Naruto's so much better." Kotetsu whined.

"Doesn't have a blood line limit though does he?" Izumo hit his partner; the Hokage chuckled at their faith in Naruto.

"Hikaru I think you should let Naruto know you're alright while we head down to the arena, Kotetsu would you let Takeru and his team know Naruto is here, for me thank you." The Hokage turned smiling.

The screen to their left buzzed as Kotetsu disappeared in a swirl of leaves.

"Anko Sama, the time limit is over and we have confirmed that twenty seven candidates have completed this portion of the exam, we will begin making arrangements for preliminary rounds to commence, before the third test. The second test is now officially complete."

"Well let's continue on as planned, but keep an eye on Orochimaru's movements."

"Yes sir."

(Line)

Kakashi was sat in a bar; he had to get to the tower he was already running late. He was nursing the same glass that he had ordered when he came in three days ago. His lone eye kept roving over to the older Ino-Shika-Cho team as they talked about the upcoming chunin exam. He spotted a piece of paper being returned to their table, he downed the glass quickly moving his mask out of the way, and stood up making his way over to their table.

"Shouldn't you be at the tower by now?" Inoichi looked up as Kakashi leaned on their table.

"Can I see that piece of paper that's been floating past the bar?"

"Why you're not allowed to bet, you've got students in this one?" Shikaku put his glass down.

"Here," Choza held the sheet out. "When's he leaving?"

"After the exams." Kakashi stated turning the sheet over. He re read it handing it back to Choza with a nod and left the establishment hands in his pockets.

"Who's leaving?"

"Naruto. He's being transferred to another team." Choza stated.

"Damn it who won that bet?" All the shinobi turned to the bar keeper who pulled out a stack of papers much like the one that was sat at their table and quickly rifled through them, finding the bet sheet he needed he frowned when he read the name.

"The Hokage,"

"What I thought he wasn't allowed to bet."

"Wait what exactly did he bet on?"

"That Naruto would be the first to leave Kakashi's team. Most people Said Sasuke. All it's got written here is Sarutobi."

"Wait that could be Asuma,"

"No he wouldn't bet on Naruto, would he?"

"Hey how long did Kakashi's team last?"

There was the sound of trifling paper again as bar keeper went back through the bet sheets.

"Eleven months."

"Bloody hell! That's a record and a half for Kakashi."

"Not really he's three days late."

"Wow that's impressive for Kakashi."

"Why was he so interested in our new bet sheet?" Inoichi asked.

Choza held the sheet up, it was a bet sheet for who they thought would make chunin Naruto's name was the most backed.

"He's finally starting to see Naruto only took him forever." Shikaku sighed.

"Guess we'll have to see who's left after this, shame we can't get live updates anymore." Inoichi pouted flopping onto the table.

(Line)

The genin were all getting ready to enter the main room in the tower with their sensei's lining the wall; Naruto was talking to Iruka, he didn't pull him up about lying, he was reading the document Iruka had handed him, he looked up into Iruka's hopeful smile.

"Well, what do you think? Is that something you'd be willing to do?" Iruka asked a blush creeping along his cheeks as he scratched his nose.

"You'd really want me to do this? I mean I'd love to but are you sure?"

"I wouldn't want anyone else." Iruka smiled putting a hand on Naruto's shoulder.

"Okay, but on one condition." Naruto smiled, "I'll take the chunin academy instructor exam, if you train as though you were going in for the jounin instructor exam." Naruto smiled.

"Naruto, I don't know."

"You're the most competent ninja I know, you're teaching the next generation how to be better than the last, and I don't what to overtake you."

"I think you already did that Naruto." Iruka laughed.

"Then help me take the next step, help me become better by becoming a better ninja yourself, can't have you lagging to far behind sensei."

"I'll always have something to teach you Naruto." Iruka smiled pulling Naruto into a hug.

"Is that a yes?" Naruto laughed.

"Yes, Naruto that's a yes." Iruka chuckled.

Asuma watched the two admiring how far Naruto was willing to push people to not only make themselves better but also himself. He chuckled as he spotted someone else that Naruto would make into a better shinobi. Asuma smirked looking past Naruto's head causing Naruto to frown and turn. There walking with the Hokage was Ibiki and Anko with a blank masked ANBU trailing behind, Naruto looked back at Iruka to get permission to move, with a small nod and a push he was given permission.

There was a flash of blonde as Naruto shot towards the advancing group Ibiki pulled Anko out of the way as the Hokage stepped aside so that Naruto could fly straight into the ANBU's arms.

They watched as Hikaru wrapped his arms tightly around Naruto squeezing just as tight as Naruto was. Hikaru felt Naruto's body start to shake and slowly realised that Naruto was crying.

He felt a fist hitting his chest.

"You are so stupid! Why did you do that? Why? You could have died! Don't ever, ever do something like that again. I don't want to say good bye, not again, I can't lose you. I can't lose you too I'm not strong enough, I can't lose you not after Cat died and Rabbit left me," Hikaru froze at the mention of Rabbit as did the Hokage and Ibiki. "I couldn't bare it if I lost you too, please never leave me. I need you." Naruto wailed.

"I'm not going anywhere."

"That's what Cat said, look where that got him!" Naruto snapped.

"Naruto," Hikaru soothed the crying boy rubbing his palms across Naruto's cheeks. "I'm not Cat, yeah I'm not as cool, or as skilled as him, but I'm trying, I'm learning new things and getting stronger every day. I'm not the best ninja here or even in the village, but if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be half the person I am today. You are my reason for fighting, for protecting this village. That's why I did it, because I couldn't bear the thought of anything happening to you. I promise I won't ever, ever leave you." Hikaru held Naruto at arm's length. "You are my most precious person; I will never let you go. I swear."

Naruto hugged Hikaru tightly as the tears streamed down his face. He had never been more scared then when he thought he'd lost Hikaru, he couldn't lose him or his last link to Cat. He pulled back asking a silent question with his eyes, which Hikaru answered his eyes shining back, he pulled him back into the hug nodding his head, as confirmation.

"I want you to have something," Naruto pulled back, wiping his eyes and twisting his body so that he could begin rummaging in his pouch pulling out a white object. "Here since you broke yours." He pushed it into Hikaru's hands.

"Naruto, I can't. I can't take that from you."

"Just this once, just once, I didn't even know I'd packed it. Please if only just for now." Naruto pushed the white porcelain mask back into Hikaru's hands.

"Thank you, I will wear it with honour." He slowly stood up turning away from the assembled shinobi, and slipped the blank ANBU mask from his face to replace it with Naruto's mask.

He turned back round the red painted cat mask staring out at them. The adults of the leaf gasped as they realised Naruto had given his most treasured possession to his ANBU.

"With honour Naruto sama." Hikaru bowed to Naruto.

Kakashi stood behind the other jounin instructors, he'd watched the whole display between the ANBU and Naruto, and felt his heart clench at how distort Naruto was when he thought he'd lost him. He gripped the scarecrow in his pocket tightly as he wished that Naruto cared for him that deeply, he hoped there was a way he could make it up to him.

I was going somewhere with the three new characters but yeah I dunno, I will probably come back to them later in the story if anyone is wondering why they are named, more than anything, and I might have written this chapter after finishing the hunger games series, Mockingjay, and umm it might have accidentally influenced this piece which i didn't notice till my sister went over this chapter. Also thanks for pointing out my mistake with Kabuto hopefully I changed that in this chapter.

Thanks for reading. Remember I'll post on my profile in advance when I'm posting the next chapter. Don't forget to check the poll on my profile.

Review if you like or don't like.
