drkprince: Manfe? what's manfe?
Neo Infinity: Yeah, he will of course~ as for Samui, I haven't had any idea about her, and she also won't be coming to the exam as the Raikage already has Yugito and Bee as bodyguards. Two Jinchurikis would already make Konoha feel off, so he can't bring another one, despite Samui is his actual secretary and not Yugito. But chill, she will be coming sooner or later because I really like her character.
atengawchok: Haha, really? Didn't really plan to make it hilarious honestly xD
Borello: Thanks man!
Xerzo lotCN: Yeah, Mei can't get out from her nation as said nation just finished with their internal war. Also can't really put any elder to position too as it will show favoritism/ Sadly, Fuu won't be coming. with all five great villages sending their genins and Jonin, along with three of four Kages coming to Konoha, Takigakure doesn't feel safe to send their Jinchuriki, their only weapon to basically incoming warzone/ Pakura? well, she died because Rasa and her other senior betrayed her, didn't she? which mean she's more or less Rasa's age... honestly, can't see how to make her still alive/Yeah, it'll be slow burn for Anko. as for Hana and Tsume, well, Hana is yet to show him anything interesting about her while Tsume was weak physically because he defeated her, and also from the fact she let her lust controlled her, he saw it as her being mentally weak/The hate is too little that Kyuubi didn't see it large enough to be a 'bite sized'. and haha, let's see how Onoki responded to that/Glad you like it.

Chapter 19, Start of the exam
XXX XXX (Start) XXX XXX
Instinct…
Something primal, something that can't be explained and cannot be gained except by years after years of experiencing many things.
And right now, standing on the roof of the nearest building to the building of the first exam, Naruto is shivering. His animal instinct screaming at him that something… someone dangerous has breached his territory.
He trusts his instinct, he really does.
But as Naruto spread his Kagura eyes far until he can sense farther than the village itself, Naruto still cannot sense that 'something'.
This is dangerous…
Someone has entered Konoha, and the worst part of it, not even his Kagura eyes is able to sense them.
Whoever this person is, they're good.
Good and dangerous.
With a scowl on his face, Naruto's eyes become red and sharp, showing his bare fangs for anyone to see.
He needs to tell the Hokage about this.
With a glaring red flash, it took Naruto less than a second to teleported away from where he's standing.
-With the team seven-
Bruised physically and mentally, Sasuke walked toward the testing room with chest puffed forward.
That… that green thing was able to fool him with his ugly appearance, but now Sasuke knows better. That green boy must be the strongest ninja within the exam this time, while the other should be below that Lee.
"Sasuke-kun~… Wait, why do you look like that?"
The room is full of killing intent, and right as his team enter, they got hit by the brute force of all genin's killing intent combined, though feeling this, Sasuke merely smirked, thinking that they probably feeling threatened by his very existence.
He's an Uchiha… of course they would feel threatened.
His name alone should've made them tremble in both fear and… fear.
And yes, he's that full of himself.
Just as familiar sound of another fan of his hit his eardrum, Sasuke put his guard up, ready to dodge because Ino was a girl who in the academy always tried to hug him without his consent.
.
..
Five seconds not feeling anything, Sasuke blinked his eyes and turned around, and his eyebrow raised slightly in small amount of curiosity, seeing team 8 walking toward his team with calm gait on the steps.
And yes… even that flat Ino.
Actually, the girl isn't so flat anymore.
Slightly it is, Ino has gained more size in chest area, and her height now is somewhat closer to Shikamaru, which mean she gained few cm of height in these last few months.
"Ino PIG! Don't you get near Sasuke-kun anymore!"
Despite the blonde girl haven't done anything except to call on the Uchiha's name, Sakura still nonetheless stand right in front of the boy she like, ready to defend him from vile Ino.
"A-Ahaha… okay"
To most people, it might seem like Ino was backed into the corner by Sakura's glare, while in actually, she merely raised her arms in surrender so that none of her classmates makes anymore scene.
Sakura is fucking stupid!
Even Shikamaru was repeating 'troublesome' under his breath several more times.
Doesn't they know they're currently being watched by most, if not all of the teams for the exam? And here they were going to tell Sasuke's squad to keep silent and find some seat so that they can adjust with their surroundings.
Basically said, they were going to tell Sasuke and his team to be 'ninjas' instead of standing here like some kind of morons.
"Oi! Happy seeing everyone's here! Even flat Sakura and Ino"
Carefreely and loudly, a boy with a white puppy on his vest said with a grin on his face, his right hand raised to get all of their attention.
And of course, not only Konoha's genin's attention, Kiba also gotten himself the attention of other village's genins.
Slap
At the same time, both Ino and Shikamaru slapped their hand to their forehead, shocked and perplexed by their former classmate unchanging attitude.
Just what did they do in all these months?
"Geez, whatever… let's go Cho, Shika. I don't want to be a part of this stupidity"
Suddenly, Ino said that and turned around so that she can get a seat, hopefully where she and her squad can hide from most of the observing eyes of other genins.
Fortunately for her team, the other teams decide that they rather keep watching over the Uchiha just in case he's a major threat on the exam this time.
"What with flat board two?"
Of course, flat board number one is Sakura, as she was and still the flattest among everyone.
As team seven and team eight meet and start to talk with each other, one person, a girl with red hairs is staring at them all as if they were the stupidest humans on the elemental nation.
Well… all except two, the boy with black glasses that sent his bugs around just as he arrived, and the girl with a rather thick hoodie that acting shy and looking at the ground, while in actuality, she's activating her byakugan and starting to check on everyone one by one.
No matter though… she doesn't come to this village to fight in the exam in the first place, but to check on the large chakra she felt few weeks ago.
Naruto Uzumaki.
Uzumaki… he's the one she really wants to meet.
-With Naruto-
The Hokage has been informed, and Naruto even has spread more than a thousand of his clones all over the places and made them transform into rocks, leaves, or just critters. Each also holding a copy of his Hirashin kunai, which mean he can teleport to the nearest clone if one of them got killed.
Anyway… right now, his real body is sitting on the roof of the building where the genins taking their exam.
And in front of him?
It's Killer Bee, holding a bottle of wine that he chugging down as if his life depending on it. Beside the man, a girl also sitting down with uncomfortable, but nonetheless flushing face.
Yugito Nii, the holder of two tails. And it seems she found him to her liking.
"Come yo! Nine O! Wine is very good for your health! Believe it yo!"
A single vein appeared right on the side of Naruto's head, signaling his slight loss of patience.
"Octo-pops… first off, I'm still underage. Secondly, that's the dumbest thing I ever heard in my life. And thirdly, can you fucking stop making a joke of my catchphrase? I have grown out of that and I don't need any reminder of that time"
"Laaaa~ laaaa~ laaaa~"
Another vein popping out as instead hearing him off, the guy with eight tails stuffed on his guts starting to sing, face flushing in red, a sign of him getting drunk.
"Hah! What a joke of vessel you got, Octopus"
"… Does this happen frequently?"
Trying to ignore the annoying, singing uncle in front of him, Naruto turned his attention to Yugito. With the woman's cheeks immediately turn red once his blue eyes locking with hers.
Honestly, when her senior Jinchuriki told her that they're going to meet with the holder of nine tails that defeated the third Mizukage, which also the Jinchuriki of third tails, a cute boy is not something that crossed her mind.
She expected a man full with muscle and battle scars like the Raikage, with eyes full with malice and killing intent so thick that anyone can die just from his stares alone.
Not a cute boy that twitched his nose cutely from a smell of sake, and obviously, not a boy with such adorable glare on his face.
And yes, to her it's adorable how he keeps glaring at Bee with annoyance.
Then again… Bee is annoying as hell, so his glare is understandable.
"Honestly, Uzumaki-san, no. As goofy Bee is, he usually become like this only when he's thinking hard about something"
She has known the man for years, rapping and goofing around is usual for him, but drinking sake? Now that's rare and only happened few times in the past, usually when he was depressed or just thinking so hard about something very important.
"Huh, that's so? Then again, he doesn't seem like a drinker to me, so I guess I'll believe you on this"
That, and the woman doesn't seem lying when she said that.
"But honestly, thinking or not, goofy or not… for some reason I really want to punch him in the face… hard"
"Laaaaaa~ laaaa~ laa~"
Like a stupid drunkard, Killer Bee starting to dance right in front of them… an octopus dance, that's it, moving and waving his arms and legs comically as if they were octopus tentacles.
All the while, the two watching him as if he's the craziest person that exist in their life.
"Fufu, then I guess you and the Raikage-sama is very similar in that regard"
Heard what the woman said, Naruto raise one of his eyebrows questioningly. His attention went from Bee to Yugito after he heard such strange sentence from her.
"The Raikage frequently punched this guy?"
"Yes… I believe in Kumogakure, Bee-sama made it his mission to annoy Raikage-sama at least once a week, and Raikage-sama punched Bee-sama as hard as he can when he caught Bee-sama start to goof around or annoyed him enough"
Once Naruto heard that, he nodded in understanding and palmed his fist.
"No wonder this guy is stupid"
He heard the current Raikage is a strong man, one that can even kill a jonin level ninja with a single punch alone, punch with the full strength of thunder.
Frequently getting punched by that… no wonder Killer Bee turned out like this.
Pfft
"Ahahaha~ that's a good one, Uzumaki-san, though I somewhat agree"
"Naruto… just Naruto please, I don't want my Jinchuriki sister of all people calling me by family name"
Honestly, warmth, and acceptance… that's what Naruto conveyed to Yugito with those words of his. And when she heard those words, her cheeks flushed red as she shyly nodded.
Of course, her friendship and lust also got a major increase from such a thing.
[Yugito Nii]
[Friendship: 55%]
[Lust: 150%]
Seeing this, Naruto had a soft smile of sadness inwardly.
He doesn't know the exact reason, but from Bee's memories, it seems Yugito wasn't seen as Hero to the people of the Kumogakure. Of course, they don't hate her per se… they just, treat her somewhat differently.
Konoha's fault lies in their ignorance and stupidities.
Kumo's?
It's their sexist attitude.
Kumo respect strength, and man is the ultimate symbol of strength to them.
That's why most female ninjas from Kumo are rough and mostly rude or cold, it's their mechanism to be somewhat seen as 'manly' to be accepted by the male ninjas.
Thus stand the reason why Bee is treated as Hero to Kumo people, being the son of their strongest Raikage and holding a beast that can go on toe with said Raikage in his gut, if that's not an image of Hero to them, Naruto doesn't know what.
As for Yugito…
Sigh
Let's not talk about it.
"Anyway, Yuu, why don't you tell me about yourself? For example, what kind of food do you like, your hobby, or something like that"
Maybe it was the pet-name, but when she heard him calling her with such cute nickname, her blush deepens. Though, she tries to calm herself down by faking a cough and tucking some of her bang to the back of her ear, something that got her a somewhat lady-like image if Naruto can be honest with himself.
Imagining her using a rather tight kimono instead her current battle attire, Naruto blinked because he knew that she would look perfect on it.
"Well…"
And with that, the two just keep talking, all the while ignoring the drunken Jinchuriki nearby, and thus… bond is created.
-Later-
"Let's stop here for today… I've got something that I need to do"
An hour or so later, Naruto stood up and patting away all the dust on his clothes.
He sensed that the genins has finished their first test and currently walking to their second testing ground, which he knows is the forest of death, with Anko acting as the second test's proctor already standing on the entrance fence.
Though…
'Well… Look at that, so many have failed on the first test'
Color him surprise, with such simple test like cheating test, he thought most of the genins would pass, but it seems this year's bunch is not that worthy it to be considered as chuunin candidates.
Hell, he can even sense team seven, or specifically, Sasuke is currently glaring hate to Sakura as they walking to their next destination the forest of death, a sign of them almost failed in their first test… and from what he can see, it seems to be Sakura's fault.
Not that he cares whose fault it was though, as team seven's success is not something that he cares about in the first place.
If they're success? Good for them… if they fail? Well, good luck next time he guesses.
"I… I see"
The current holder of two tails said without showing anything on her face. Though already experienced with something called loneliness, Naruto know that the woman is currently disappointed that they can't talk for a bit more.
… he decided to act of not notice this though, wanting to see what will she do.
"Alright, then see you later then, Yuu"
With a two fingers salute, Naruto flickered away from the roof and start to run at decent speed toward the forest of death, not wanting to use his Hirashin to such close place without any reason.
Behind him, Yugito stares at his disappearing figure with eyes of longing and reddening cheeks.
.
..
…
"So… is there anything you want to check or something?"
The woman named Anko said as she leaning her back on the fence to the dangerous forest of death. Though one of her eyebrows raised slightly when instead any of the genins, it was Naruto that arrived first, sitting on the tall fence as if not to anyone problem.
Of course, her question is kinda legit, as to her knowledge, while the exam is ongoing, no one supposedly can interrupt, not even the Hokage without proper reason.
She and Naruto may be friend, but she is expected to be professional when it come to her job.
"… I had a bad feeling"
"Alright, but I don't want you to interrupt anything, you hear me?"
The boy had strong instinct. Instinct that let him bypass most of the ANBU when he was nothing but a child. But nonetheless, instinct or not, Anko refuse to let him interrupt her sweet time with those incoming chuunin wannabes.
"Loud and clear"
After he said that, Naruto jumped back to one of the tall trees of the forest of death and hide behind its bark, all the while totally hiding his whole presence.
Seeing this, Anko shivered slightly.
Did he learn that from Yugao? He's becoming more and more inhuman as time goes on.
Unfortunately, Anko had no time to think more as the genins slowly come and making lines in front of her.
And in no time, everyone arrives.
Seeing this, Anko grinned… so large that it almost like seeing a cat that smiling after she ate a canary.
She's going to spend her sweeeeet time scaring all of them.
-With Naruto-
"You! You! And You! Disqualified for being so slow!"
As Anko having fun scaring all of the genins, Naruto let out a small chuckle of amusement from his hiding place.
Then again, he's not that hard to find, as anyone that look up probably will be able to see him, sitting on one of the tree's branches while looking down at them all.
He's not trying to hide… not at all.
Of course, as he found himself amused at Anko's antic, Naruto activate his Kagura eyes and start to sense everyone's chakra. Though, he also accidentally sensed Yugito that's hiding few meters away from him, peeking her eyes from behind a tree's bark with reddening cheeks.
Huh… she must've been following him right after she placed unconscious Bee on Kumo's lounge.
As for how she found him… well, she probably tracked him by smell.
To think he would gain another stalker after Hinata and Kurenai…
So cute.
Kurenai starts her stalking on him when she had free time, usually around five pm and forward, while Hinata usually started stalking him before and after her training with her team or her family, the time is kinda inconsistence.
And now Yugito… though she probably won't be able to stalk him as much as the two, being from Kumo and all.
And so, he ignores her for now and once again refocus his gaze on the group under him.
.
..
They already signed the contract that any harm (including death) come to them inside the forest of death by their own will and Konoha won't be taken account if they somehow die inside.
One genin however, really get his attention.
She's one among the three genins from some small village, but… her person scream 'wrongness' to every fiber of his body.
Genin… no, she's Jonin level easily.
Narrowing his eyes, Naruto's palm starting to clutch as the woman easily get behind Anko to give her kunai's back, one that she had thrown to threaten Kiba.
What's her plan?
To kill budding genins of five great villages as they were inside the forest?
No, while her power probably will let her do that, it was just too time consuming as everyone will definitely spread out once the second exam start. And also, if she wanted to do such a thing, it was a bad plan to show her power to Anko of all people, the proctor of the exam in question as she also will start to suspicious and keep her eyes on her.
'That bring us to the least wanted reason…'
To kill the current heir of Uchiha… huh.
That, or the granddaughter of Tsuchikage or the children of Kazekage.
Three big targets, and Naruto doesn't have any care to the other two's team, as they look kinda promising.
Sasuke's team? Not so much.
A rather rude conclusion, but nonetheless, Naruto believed that this time, he's correct on his assumption.
And so, when he saw the gate to the forest of death being opened and all of the competitors start to spread away, he flickered to Sasuke's team easily, stopping said team on their track with eyes as wide as saucers from shock.
"Sup, teme"
He doesn't want to look cold, and so, Naruto gave Sasuke his warmest smile.
… Or at least, he hoped that it's warm.
-With team seven-
Sasuke and Naruto had complicated friendship.
They're friends, and they do think each other as friend.
But at the same time, to outsider's perspective, they're like water and oil, two people that doesn't seem to like each other and want to strangle each other in their sleep if given the chance.
And thus…
"Sup, teme"
Just as the team seven jumped to the nearest tree to start their exam, Naruto appeared right in front of them like a ghost without even any hint of wind moved from his quickness.
To Sasuke, the smile in Naruto's face is that of smugness.
One that currently making him shake in fury.
"Dobe"
Sasuke is calm and collected person, this only broke when Naruto right in front of him. and this is proofed when the blackette immediately growled when he saw his rival appear right in front of him with an impressive burst of speed.
Their auras clashed, creating a rather tense atmosphere for the other two persons in team seven.
.
..
"What do you want?"
In the end, realizing they're wasting time… HIS time by having this stare down (Naruto is not one of the contestants, so he won't incur any loss) Sasuke said that, wanting to know what Naruto want by coming at him at such crucial time.
Naruto and him may be rival, but the blonde's not a person that would use foul play to damage him.
"Catch…"
Uncaringly, Naruto threw a three-pronged kunai to Sasuke, one that he caught easily.
And when he saw the shape of the kunai, the heir of the Uchiha raise one of his eyebrows in questioning manner.
"What's this?"
"I don't have any time to explain… just remember, if you feel like your life is in danger, immediately throw that kunai at your enemy. Though it goes without saying, don't lost it, that kunai is expensive"
Not really… or at least, not really to him.
But still, that hiraishin kunai's price is indeed far higher than normal kunai because normal ore won't be able to hold such strong enhancement like hiraisin's seals.
"Fuck you"
Of course, what Sasuke meant is from the fact his rival… his dumb rival dared to thought that he of all people can loss something given to him.
The kunai?
He still pocketed it, knowing it was actually a blow to Naruto's pride for helping him like this, and thus, he probably has a very strong reason to do it.
Snort
"Glad you understand"
Naruto said as he turned around and disappear once again, leaving the team seven on their own so that they can continue their exam.
"Hmp! Let's go… I'll show that dobe that I won't need any help. Not from him"
Once he ordered that, Sasuke dashed forward, deeper into the forest of death, behind him, his teammates following his order without any argument.
They all have agree that when their sensei is not around, Sasuke shall be the one ordering them.
-With Naruto-
"Naruto-san… I don't expect you to be here"
Sitting on one of Ichiraku's stool, Naruto is calmly waiting for his ramen to get ready. Though he smiled a little when he heard a rather familiar and slightly seductive voice from behind him.
Of course, he rotated the stool he's sitting on as he heard her voice.
"Well, I also thought you would be at Jonin room, watching the exam, Kurenai-san"
Hearing his words, the gorgeous woman smiled a little and gracefully decide to walk to the stool beside him… and of course, she also decided to make said stool slightly closer to him.
Slightly… which mean she and him would have their shoulders touching each other once she sat down.
Naruto smiled amusedly as he turned his face back to the counter and Kurenai taking her seat right beside him. and just as he thought before, their shoulders indeed touching each other.
Hell… she even dares enough to take a hold of his hand because the owner of the ramen establishment is currently at the back, making Naruto's order. Then again, it's also impossible to see that they're indeed holding each other's hand without correct angle.
"Fufu~ I'm hungry and decide to come here to eat… Oji-san! One ebi-ramen please!"
"Aight! Just give me a moment!"
Heh…
Honestly, he also doesn't know how she tracked him, without her having sharp nose like Yugito or byakugan like Hinata. But nonetheless, he refuses to believe in coincidence when it came to his girls, more so Kurenai.
But, let's forget about it for now.
"… How's the others?"
Naruto said softly, his tone taking a slight whispering tone, which make Kurenai nodded softly.
"Other Jonin is still on the watching room, I also left a clone there to make sure I won't be out of the loop as I'm taking a lunch break"
"Is that so…"
Each five minutes or every time something happens (no matter how small it is), Naruto also had one of his clones popped out, keeping him and the other clones updated on everything's going on.
Really… to him, Konoha right now is already as tight as possible with its security.
Unless their enemy is legendary ninja in their own right, Naruto is sure as hell nobody could enter and escape as they please with so many eyes here and there.
Just as Naruto thinking like this, Kurenai beside him already become more daring and wrap one of her hands around his waist, pulling him closer to her, while her other hand going down and start caressing his thigh gently.
Never expecting this, Naruto blushes softly.
"Kurenai-san… we could get caught"
Ninja may have been busy with the exam going on, but civilians doesn't. and from the edge of his eyes, Naruto could easily see people walking around, doing their everyday work.
Basically said, if one were to focus enough, they could see their closeness easily.
"I already casted few illusions around us, so it's alright"
The woman said calmly, her own cheeks also reddening from her own daring act. Though, it still doesn't stop her hands from doing what her inner heart wants.
"I… I see…"
Despite calming down, Naruto still has his cheeks reddening even more than before, feeling his friend's hand soft touch to the sensitive area of his thigh.
Naruto can't fault her.
Unlike Luka and Yakumo, one live in the same house as him and the other one is not a ninja, thus not entitled to that much work. Kurenai herself is fully fledged ninja, one that also has her own squad to manage.
Free time is something that Kurenai rarely have.
This act of her… is her own way to say 'I miss you'.
"… Say, let's have a date tonight"
Of course, she dares to said this because she knew that Luka will be busy later this night doing patrol around the tower where the genins going to stay.
As for herself?
Well, she doesn't have any shift, as only some newly minted Jonin or the Jonin that doesn't have any squad to manage got the patrol shift.
Which mean, she can have him for herself this whole night, something she rarely can have, with the boy having time curtain and all, thus cannot go out at night until late and all.
"M-Mnn, s-sure"
Maybe from their close proximity, or maybe because of other reason (whichever it is, Kurenai doesn't really know) the boy beside her has his cheeks blush even more.
Gently, the woman cupped his cheek from seeing this. Her own cheeks become red as she feels her heart beating faster as her love become adorable in front of her.
And so, she leans her face closer to him, intend to kiss those soft lips of his.
.
..
…
"Jiji! Me and Kurenai will have to go for a bit!"
Just are their lips almost touch each other, Naruto's face become cold as he stopped her lips with his index finger.
And after he screamed that to the man on the kitchen, he took Kurenai by hand and teleported away with a red flash. With the woman herself can do nothing but to grit her teeth in frustration, knowing what could make her love become so serious in a second.
There goes her kiss…
Someone… will have to pay for this pain within her heart.
-With Sasuke-
His life is in danger…
Sai got himself thrown pretty far from some kind of wind attack, huge snake following after him. his status… is not something that Sasuke can answer for now.
Sakura is being useless as usual and gotten herself knocked out from the killing intent their enemy cast out.
And so, right now, Sasuke found himself facing against one of the most infamous ninjas within the elemental nation.
Orochimaru…
Of course, Sasuke is not a ninja that can face off against someone of Sannin caliber like the man. But… his pride refused to let him call on Naruto's help.
And thus, he was bitten, then beaten like how a genin got himself by a Kage class ninja.
His pride wanted to say that the member of sannin himself didn't pull any punches. But his mind realizes that if the man didn't pull any punches, then he surely would die by now.
"Ufufu, Sasuke-kun… is this all you can do? Itachi is far stronger than you at your age"
"Don't you dare say his name!"
Hate… bitterness… and every other negative feeling come out of Sasuke.
But bruised and beaten, he can do nothing but to glare on the man with hate filled sharingan, something that has been awakened the moment he got himself beaten so badly by Orochimaru to the point of almost dying.
His feet, his hands… everything feel as if all of the bones inside those limbs are broken.
Gritting his teeth, Sasuke can only put one of his hands on his pocket and grab the kunai given by Naruto, though… he doesn't immediately throw it.
Seeing this, across of him, Orochimaru smirked.
"Oho… do you perhaps have some kind of plan, Sasuke-kun? Go on then… do it"
'He's… underestimating me!'
Full of anger and desperateness, in the end Sasuke took out the kunai given to him and throw it as hard as he can toward the snake faced man.
Of course, he regretted it as his broken hand screamed in pain from such movement.
"Gaaah!"
Oh wait… he screamed too.
Unknown to him, across of him, Orochimaru widen his eyes the moment he lay his eyes on the kunai thrown.
And he also didn't get any time to dodge, because right as the kunai was in front of him, a red flash blinded him, followed by a painful strike to his head that's strong enough to throw him off from the tree he's standing on despite the chakra he channeled into said feet to make sure he stayed stuck.
"Kurenai, give me some support… I'll also try to make as much commotion as possible to get the attention of nearby ninjas"
Raising his head, Sasuke widens his eyes as he sees his rival standing on the place where Orochimaru used to be, beside him is the teacher of team eight, both is currently staring on the ground, where the snake man is, glaring at the two.
"Na-"
"Sasuke, what are you waiting for… Run"
Red eyes… full of malice and hatred stares right into him as his rival turned his head sideway and locked gazes with him.
Fear… unlike anything he experienced before drowned Sasuke, so much that he found himself cannot speak and breath. Though it broke instantly the moment Naruto turned his gaze back toward Orochimaru.
"I'll hold him here… but that's all I can do. Take your teammates and run as far as you can, preferably to the tower if you already have both scrolls"
FLASH!
"Ten no yoroi! Level two!"
Right after Naruto said his words, he dashed… so fast that Sasuke can't even see him despite his evolved eyes. And when he looked down, Naruto is already on the ground, fighting on equal ground with the one of the infamous sannin, red, haunting armors covering some part of his body and a lone sword on his hands, with the snake sannin himself already have his own sword in hands, clashing his with Naruto again and again, each clash creating a loud 'clang!', so loud that he's sure that they're using all of their strength on each strike… strike with the intention to kill.
Clenching his hands so hard now that Sasuke saw how much strong Naruto is, Sasuke can't do anything as he turned around and take Sakura under his arm.
His body screaming in pain for each movement… but Naruto is right. He can't stay here, not when the snake sannin can move so fast and probably end him in a second when he got the chance.
He needs, no… he must get as far as possible from the two.
Unknown to him, as the feeling of envy to Naruto and hate to his own weakness began to take seed, the marking on his neck began to glow red.
-With Naruto-
Really… it just his luck to get called by Sasuke just as he and Kurenai want to kiss.
Kurenai is annoyed, it's easily seen on her face. But then again, he's also annoyed despite not showing it.
Clang!
Smack!
Just as he and Orochimaru clashed their sword again, Naruto let his sword slide as he went forward to give a rather painful punch toward the man's face… strong enough to throw him away painfully. And of course, because he's currently channeling Kyuubi's chakra, that punch should've burn the man's face from the toxicity of said red chakra.
"Ufufu, now that's what I call punch… you're so very like your mother in that regard, Naruto-kun"
Unfortunately, the man come out unscratched from the attack, laughing. His burned skins sliding down just like how snakes shed their skins, revealing new and healthy skins under the shed skin.
Naruto himself doesn't let himself got taunted.
Quickly, the man threw a kunai to him… or at least, to the tree meter away from his current location… which do nothing of course.
"Annoying…"
Clicked his teeth, Orochimaru let out a surge of his chakra for a bit, breaking the genjutsu he's under. His eyes glaring up toward Kurenai, but know that he can't do nothing with the vessel of the Kyuubi right in front of him and definitely will attack once he gave the boy any opening.
Of course, Naruto doesn't let Orochimaru words break his concentration, knowing that not only anger will cloud his judgement, his voice will also let the man know his location and pretty much let he know whether he's inside genjutsu or not.
He's not fighting solo, but fighting with Kurenai as his supporter.
He can't let her talent go to waste, not when he's fighting against one of the sannin.
He has activated his Kyuubi's armor, something that definitely alerted every patrolling ninja and ANBUs inside the forest of death.
In no time, they will definitely come.
However, it seems Orochimaru soon realize his plan and let out a smirk.
"I see… from the data given to me, you're barbaric and unstoppable when you're fighting. But if you're like this, then it means you're buying time, right? It seems you have both quality of your parent then, Naruto-kun. Though then again, I always hated that righteous bastard, Minato"
BAM!
The snake sannin got himself a wrath filled punch to the gut from that 'bastard' comment.
In front of him, Naruto is glaring hard to him, his red eyes glowing with anger at the prospect of someone calling his father bastard.
That's… his right!
"The only one can call him bastard… IS ME!"
Of course, Naruto's explosion come at the cost of one of his hands as Orochimaru felt his move from the air movement and quickly stretched his neck and bit into Naruto's punching hand just as he's getting himself thrown once again.
"Ghk!"
Venom spread from the bitten point, and Naruto found himself losing his ten no yoroi state immediately.
"It's the kind of poison that spread faster the more you channel your chakra… So, I turned off your armor"
'Thanks, Kyuubi-san'
Of course, cut off or not, the pain is still there.
… Most people would have passed out from the pain the moment the poison got injected.
"Naruto…"
"I'm alright… just keep supporting me"
Kurenai is worried, seeing him suddenly cut off his powerful armor right after he got bitten. But once she heard his words, she nodded and do few hand seals and start to cover herself and Naruto with genjutsu, one layer for herself and two layers for him.
His safety is more important than hers.
Few minutes waiting and Orochimaru still doesn't come out from the dust, Naruto use his Kagura eyes…
"Got you"
Of course, the moment he channels his chakra, Orochimaru sensed him despite not seeing his form with his eyes. And the man came out from the ground, grinning like mad man and pushed his flaming five fingers toward Naruto.
"GAAAAAH!"
Pain…
Pain like no other fills Naruto from the sudden attack.
But of course, he still felt it as his connection with the Kyuubi is being forcefully severed.
Eyes filled with rage, Naruto ignored his pained body to give the man a rather mean haymaker, followed by an uppercut that throw him upward.
"U…"
A second him created with a puff to give him a lift, and with the force of being thrown, Naruto dug his feet into Orochimaru's gut.
"… Zu…"
Another seal less clone appeared, digging its fist into the man's face, followed by it letting Naruto step on it so he can stay on the air before dispelling itself.
"Ma…"
In a way that only Naruto can think off, he spun and kicked the man on his family jewel. And feeling as if his whole body crumbles from the inhuman pain, Orochimaru widen his slightly teary eyes.
"… Ki!"
Ignoring the man's pitiable face, Naruto spun once again and gave the man an axe kick right at the top of his head, throwing the man to the man downward until he hit the ground… painfully.
BAM!
"Naruto Uzumaki! One hundred sword combo!"
Just as the name said, as Naruto descend back to the ground, a hundred, glowing blue swords appeared around him, each have the same level of chakra as a chuunin should and currently pointing at the downed form of the sannin.
And with a wave of his hand, Naruto ordered all of those swords to attack Orochimaru.
Swish
Swish
Swish
Swish
Again and again, the swords coming down, with Naruto himself landed on one of the nearest tree's branches in one knee, all the while holding his stomach with pained expression.
If the man were to get up from this attack, Naruto honestly doesn't know what to do.
"Naruto-kun, are you okay?"
Appeared beside him, Kurenai immediately put her hand around him and try to help him stand. With Naruto himself sling one of his hands around her shoulder for balance.
"I'm fine"
Right after Naruto said that, ANBUs start to appeared from all directions, each perching on different tree branch. But nonetheless, all of their attention still focusing on one thing… and that's to the ground, where the dust slowly settles.
They all sensed three chakra signatures just now, and knowing two of them should be Naruto and Kurenai, then the other one should be the enemy.
A formidable enemy, as even Naruto got himself so wounded.
"… He got away"
Ignoring all of the ANBUs that already unsheathing their swords, Naruto said that after once again activating his Kagura eyes… and sense no signature of Orochimaru.
And once he let go of Kurenai for a bit, Naruto took a step forward with sharp, blue eyes…
"ONE OF YOU! GO TO THE HOKAGE AND TELL HIM THAT OROCHIMARU IS WITHIN THE VILLAGE! AS FOR THE REST, SPREAD! GO WITH A SQUAD OF TWO AND SEARCH EVERY INCH OF THE VILLAGE TO SEARCH HIM! PRIORITIZE GIVING SIGNAL WHEN ONE OF YOU FOUND HIM, DO NOT ENGAGE! I REPEAT, DO NOT ENGAGE!"
"UNDERSTOOD!"
His charm is equal to his charisma, and so, once he said his order, all of the ANBUs immediately moves just as he told them to. No hesitation in their steps once he told them that their enemy is Orochimaru.
"Naruto…"
Once again, Kurenai slinges his arm on her shoulder as she helps him to stand, knowing how hard it is for his current body to do even a simple thing like standing.
He may be able to fool those ANBUs, but she notices how his bitten arm trembling in pain from the injected poison.
"Kid, you okay!?"
Just as Kurenai want to flicker, Anko appeared with worries in her eyes.
-With Anko-
She sensed Naruto's demonic chakra from afar, and knowing it meant he was fighting an enemy, she dashed right to his way, intent to help.
But she froze when she was few hundred meters away from him, sensing the vile chakra of her former teacher.
And as she sensed that, the vile mark on her neck began to pulsed painfully, so much that she could do nothing but to knelt and holding her neck while holding back a silent scream.
And now, she came late…
"Kid, you okay!?"
She can't help but to worry over him, seeing his slowly paling face.
"Anko! Thanks goodness you come… he's poisoned, please help him"
Her best friend said, a mix of worry and fear tainting her gorgeous face.
But then again, of course she will help. Kurenai doesn't need to ask for her to help Naruto of all people.
"Of course, lay him down… slowly. I'll suck the poison from his bloodstream"
There's nothing perverted about it. As the former student of Orochimaru, Anko has slight resistance to any kind of poison, no matter how dangerous it is.
And knowing this, Kurenai does what was told without any argument.
.
..
Few minutes later, color start to return to Naruto's face as he letting out a sigh of relief… though his clothes already drenched so hard from his fever.
A small aftereffect of the poison… it shouldn't be dangerous to him.
*Ptui*
Once Anko spat out the poison, she wiped some trail of blood from her lips, then put the back of her hand on Naruto's forehead while her other hand on his chest, where his heart should be.
The beating is normal… he should be fine now.
"Naruto, do you still feel some kind of pain?"
Of course, she asked for precaution, just in case she missed something. After all, her former teacher is good, there's some chance that he mixed his biting attack with some kind of smaller, but effective attack.
"I did on my left leg… but the dose was weak. My chakra already purified that poison"
"I see…"
Just in case, Anko checked said leg and indeed, there's a very small wound, as if he was hit by a senbon… and just like he said, the purple (a sign of the poison) already disappearing.
"Alright… you're fine. Nai-chan, you should bring him to your home, let him rest for today. I'll join the ANBU to search for that man"
"I see, then please be careful, Anko-chan"
With Naruto having a fever, Kurenai in the end start to carry the boy bridal style. Something that the genjutsu mistress doesn't have any problem with, if Anko can say from the fact she can see that her cheeks become red the moment Naruto wrap his arms around her neck.
Heh… such love birds, these two.
"Once again, please be careful, Anko-chan"
"Hai hai"
With that as her last words, Kurenai starts to jump toward her house.
Though of course, Anko raised one of her eyebrows when she saw that the woman is so slow on her speed… she's very sure that Kurenai can be faster than that.
Though… once she focused her attention enough, Anko snorted amusedly.
Kurenai is currently groping the boy's bottom… whether he realize it or not, Anko doesn't know.
Then again, she doesn't really care about those two's relationship. Let Kurenai and her fetish of ass make her day… though she is very curious what will Naruto do once he realize what having sex with Kurenai consisted off.
That woman is a lesbian. She may have been able to love him for some kind of reason, but it doesn't change the fact that he is a male with a working penis, something that Kurenai actively avoid…
Huh… then again, she doesn't really want to get that curious about them.
Though, inwardly, she really wanted to at least tried to touch that ass of him.
… it looks so cute and soft, after all.
-?-
Walking with definitely limping legs, Orochimaru entered his secret base, his eyes glaring into nothing.
"Orochimaru-sama, welcome back… are you alright?"
Of course, he's greeted by one of his elites four, with the chubby teen immediately have eyes of worry when he saw his master's condition.
"It's not of your concern!"
Orochimaru was a calm man… but never… never have he found himself oh so humiliated by someone not even of legal age.
His glare right now, is a glare that can kill a person if he were to focus more of his killing intent.
"Hiii!"
Jirobou, a large teen with chubby body pressed his large body against the wall once he got hit by his master's glare, definitive tears on his eyes from his fear of dying, so bad that even his life flashed over his eyes for a second when he got hit by said glare.
Ignoring this, Orochimaru continue his walk to his chamber.
Naruto Uzumaki…
The son of his once hateful enemy, Minato Namikaze.
Just like his father, his son is also a boy full of will and never give up attitude, fighting despite his body condition like that.
… sickening grin appear on Orochimaru's face.
He will kill the boy… slowly… and painfully.
So painful that he will scream loudly, and so loud that even his parent in the pure land hears his pained scream.
However, first off… he really needs to find some pack of ice for his pained jewel.
Such underhanded attack… one could ask why the hell the boy isn't a ninja. Hell, even Orochimaru is curious about such a thing. Surely a boy who can attack with such cruelty without any hint of hesitation is a sign of good ninja.
… a very good ninja.
-With Naruto-
Sneeze
Cutely, Naruto let out a sneeze.
"Ufufu~ sorry, I just can't help it"
Laying naked on Kurenai's strangely very soft bed, Naruto let the woman wipe his sweating body. Just a seconds ago, she wiped the sweat on his face, and a strand on the towel in her hand touched his nose a little bit… thus, he sneezed.
"It's alright, Kurenai…. And I'm sorry, we can't do our date"
Naruto's apologetic face is full of honesty, he does truly feel bad that just as he promised her a date just an hour ago, now he can't fulfill his promise.
And seeing this, a gentle smile took over Kurenai's face.
"Don't mind it. I'm just glad you're alright"
With a soft, blushing face, Kurenai leaned her face down and kissed him on the forehead, then rest her own forehead on his, so that they're staring eyes to eyes.
Her long, shiny black hairs covering their faces from the world, forcing Naruto to see her… and only her inside such privacy.
Red and blue meet each other as Naruto and Kurenai staring at the person in front of them, growing blushes on their cheeks.
And their lips get closer…
And closer…
.
..
…
"Kurenai! Open up! Let me see my boyfriend!"
Just as their lips almost touch each other, a loud voice of Luka can be heard from the outside. Which make Naruto tilted his face to the left for a bit, amused, though also made Kurenai's lips met his cheek instead of his lips.
"…"
Kurenai is angry…. Well, more like annoyed honestly, but the annoyance she feels is so great that Naruto can only thought it as anger.
However, the red eyed woman merely let out a beautiful smile at him, despite the obvious vein on the side of her head.
"I'll greet her in… why don't you just rest for now, Naruto-kun?"
To Kurenai, her anger is justified.
Hour or so ago, just as she wanted to kiss him, that damnable Uchiha dared to threw Naruto's kunai and called him and her (Naruto was the one grabbed her. But nonetheless she will blame that Uchiha instead of her love). which led them to the forest of death to fight against Orochimaru of all people.
Now, the fight was fought without any of them sustain permanent injury… which is good.
However, her date has been canceled because Naruto was badly poisoned by the member of Sannin, which, she doesn't mind as she will nurse him back inside her residence.
But just as she wanted to kiss him, someone interrupted her… again.
'Fuck you… Luka'
With a calm looking face, but nonetheless heavy heart, Kurenai climbed off from the bed and smiled at the boy on top of her bed.
"Okay, I'm actually pretty tired… good night, Kurenai"
"Good night, love"
Once she said that, Naruto gave her a light and warm smile before he takes a nearby body pillow and start to hug it and close his eyes.
And seeing this, Kurenai turned around and walk to her house's door…
Someone's going to be her punching bag today.

[?] : ?
Naruto's current lovers: Yakumo Kurama, Ido Yakumo, Kurenai Yuhi, Luka Haruno (Luka Megurine), Mei Terumi.
Possible lovers: Anko, Yugito, Samui.
Those three in possible lovers are the only ones I can think for now... though, most of you would probably say 'how about Mikoto?'
well, the thing is, Naruto saw the woman as his own mother, and I can't make Naruto and Mikoto be in relationship without making Naruto look like a pervert, which he isn't.
Of course, I had an idea to let Naruto comfort Mikoto the day Sasuke went to Orochi... but that's just... predictable honestly. And I kinda don't like predictable xD
if any of you have an idea on how too add Mikoto to the harem, then, do please write it in review section, simply because that section is the only one I keep my eyes on. As for PM, I usually opened ff from my phone, and the app just doesn't catch your PM at all.
well, I guess that's all.
cyao~
