Naruto – The Anime/Manga Series

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto...

A/N: Thanks a lot for the reviews!

One thing though, I know Naruto seems a bit OOC In this fic, but that's just his true nature, from the start. When he's on missions with Itachi and the others, he's cheerful because he only has to focus on the mission and nothing else. The only times when he will be cold, aggressive and, well, bloodthirsty, is when he encounters persons who are linked with his past and who have hurt him in any possible way. For readers that want to see Naruto exceptionally aggressive, don't worry! ^_^ 

Oh, and another thing, if you have something that's wrong in this fic, or something that's 'F@cking boring the crap out of you', to quote a reviewer, please show me arguments and/or ways on how I can improve myself... Or at least leave me an e-mail address along with the anonymous review.

Do realize that there's a major time jump of five years at the beginning of this book, and err… I think people could change in 5 years. Oh, this chapter will be slightly longer. And damn, I didn't think people would mind if I started with Sasuke's introduction in chapter 2

Well, thanks for reading the beginning of Book 2! I will try and make it all believable now!

"A few are coming back, Itachi… What should we do?" Dareda asked.

Itachi stared at the Hokage Tower. "I think Naruto and Mokito are just about done… If they are not, we'll have to stop the few Jounins coming this way.."

Dareda nodded and used Gentle fist to hit the air, thus resulting a small Chakra wave to be shot into the air.

Neji, who was standing by the Hokage Tower, easily noticed the Chakra wave in the air and leaped towards Dareda and Itachi. 'I see… so they must've figured out the distraction…'

There Where When is Now, Book 2

Chapter 2

A legend, that he was, or so he thought when he was a Genin still… Right now, it didn't impress him by the slightest. He was known as the Legendary Hatake Kakashi, who owned one Sharingan eye and had supposedly copied thousands of Jutsu's with it. At the time it seemed rather unlikely for someone to possess so many Jutsu's. But for someone with a Sharingan that would be very possible.

'And now…. I probably own more Jutsu's than Kakashi…' Sasuke thought with a grin as he went through the scroll Orochimaru had given him a few months ago.

Orochimaru had told him to try and teach the Jutsu's that were in the scroll. Sasuke could see by the type of seals that the scroll didn't originate from the Leaf Village. The techniques in the scroll were very hard to learn and Sasuke was getting tired and aggravated at the same time, only having learned 5 techniques in the scroll in these two months. He was known as a very talented Shinobi who could learn everything in a very short amount of time. It was really vexing to find out that this scroll would give him such a hard time.

Sasuke stared at a grinning Kimimaro, who sat on the ground opposite of him, leaning against a tree. Sasuke snarled as he turned back to the contents of the scroll.

"Having trouble, huh?" Kimimaro asked. "You know, I know every basic Jutsu from every Village, even the basic Jounin Jutsus. But I do not know the forbidden Jutsus.. not all of them anyway. But the ones that are in that scroll in your hands I do know."

Sasuke lifted his head to gaze back at Kimimaro. "Show me then."

Kimimaro shook head. "No… you'll have to learn them yourself. Orochimaru told me not to show them to you. He was afraid you might pull your Sharingan eyes out."

Sasuke smiled. 'True, I would have. This is getting so… tiring.. I will continue with the scroll, tomorrow.' Sasuke thought as he wrapped the scroll and rose to his feet.

"Kimimaro, you're looking more awful by the day…" Sasuke said with a shake of his head.

Kimimaro looked at the ground sadly. "I know." Kimimaro watched him walk away. 'The brat's getting more arrogant…'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I found it!! Haha!!" Naruto yelled and turned around, ready to storm out of the room, out of the Hokage Tower. 'Now to get out of here as fast as possible.'

As soon as he jumped out of the room, he stood face to face with three Guards. Naruto's eyes widened. 'Shit..! They might know me!' Naruto immediately improved his own senses, as Kyuubi Chakra boiled through his veins.

"What do you think you're doing here?!" One of the guards yelled. He didn't even have time to react at the sudden pain in his neck, as Naruto leaped forward to slash the guard through the neck, creating a big gash in the guard's neck. As Naruto appeared behind the remaining two guards, the one that got attacked fell on the ground, dead.

The two remaining guards stared at the Shinobi before him, who had a scroll in his mouth and big claws as hands. Claws he had just used to kill their friend. What was more terrifying were the young man's eyes… which were blood red. The two guards steadied themselves, one gripping a Kunai and the other a small sword.

"Surrender! We will not let you go!"

Naruto smirked as he made six Kyuubi Clones appear behind the two guards. The real Naruto quickly jumped away as the Kyuubi Clones started ripping the two guards apart.

"Sorry, but I can't let you escape." Shikamaru stated as he had trapped one of the intruders with his Shadow Imitation. The other two had managed to evade it and were up in the trees watching.

Kisame snarled as he stood in Shikamaru's shadow. "Damn brat, you'll regret capturing me like this."

Shikamaru shook his head, making Kisame's head shake as well. "Idiot." He began, stretching the insult. "I can kill you if I want to, you know. Just tell me your intentions."

Shikamaru didn't seem to have recognised Gaara. Then again, Gaara had changed.. new clothes, new hairstyle, the only thing that remained the same was the scar on his forehead. He narrowed his eyes at the shadow-using boy and remembered that the same technique was used on him many years ago as well.

Sinobi snarled, already doing hand seals. They were surrounded by many Leaf Chuunins and a few Jounins. 'I bet the Kyuubi Clones know not to interfere, because Naruto had ordered them not to if there were people who could recognise him. I guess me and Gaara will have to save Kisame.' Sinobi finished his hand sealing and faced Gaara. "Oy, time to finish it up here!"

Gaara nodded and grinned evilly.

Shikamaru narrowed his eyes. 'Damn, They're just going to attack. Figures.. I hoped they wouldn't attack while I had this guy trapped.'

The battle began to unfold before him, while Kisame couldn't do a thing.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mokito was avoiding Tsunade's blows, but no longer with ease. Tsunade was slowly wrecking the entire room with her inhuman strength and was slowly trapping Mokito, so she could no longer move away. 'This is getting dangerous…'

Tsunade smirked as she saw Mokito look around for an escape from her next attack for just a split second and that's when she rammed her full on the face. Mokito was rammed through the wall. Tsunade's eyes widened as she saw Mokito being grabbed by the other intruder, who was just as fast. They were out of there in no time at all. 'Damn! I couldn't even see the other's face!'

Tsunade immediately went in pursuit. 'That other one must have stolen something! This is so frustrating!'

Tsunade landed on the ground and saw the guards who were guarding the Hokage Tower this day. They were both dead… Tsunade narrowed her eyes. 'What the hell is going on?!' She immediately continued her pursuit.

"It took you long enough, Naruto!" Mokito yelled as Naruto released her and they continued their sprint. "Damn…" Mokito robbed the sore spot on her cheek. "That hurt soooo much…"

Naruto only glanced at Mokito once, before he threw the Scroll of Hidden Seals at her. "Take this. It's time to let the others know we have the scroll."

Mokito caught the scroll easily and watched Naruto perform several hand seals, jumped, turned around and faced the Hokage Tower, which was now far in the distance. "Gufuu no Jutsu!!"

A huge tornado suddenly made his way towards the Hokage Tower. Neji, Dareda and Itachi had used Henge to conceal their real identities and were fighting a few Jounins on a roof when they saw the tornado in the distance. Itachi, Neji and Dareda nodded to each other. Dareda and Neji performed a Heavenly Spin together, unlike any seen before. "Kaiten!!" The huge whirling motion made sure there was a certain distance between him and his attackers. While he performed the Heavenly Spin, Itachi had made his escape as fast as he could. Dareda and Neji fell, because of the gigantic Kaiten, through the roof downwards and made their escape on the ground.

The Jounins were still waiting for the Heavenly Spin to stop spinning and when it did stop they were surprised to see Neji and Dareda were gone.

All Neji and Dareda had to do while escaping was simply giving one Gentle strike to an attacker and be on their merry way. In no time they caught up with Itachi.

Mokito and Naruto were now the only ones who still had to escape from the Village. Naruto suddenly let Kyuubi Chakra surround him and powered up a great deal. "Mokito… time to fly.."

Mokito's eyes widened as Naruto grabbed her and Naruto increased his speed even more. Mokito made sure she held on to the scroll.

Tsunade gritted her teeth as she saw the biggest tornado come before her and had to prevent it from harming the Hokage Tower. "Shit!! Now I can't go after them!"

Outside Leaf Village, Shikamaru was panting. He was forced to release the Shadow Imitation on Kisame as Gaara had engulfed him with sand from a distance. Shikamaru started cussing inwards because he was just about to kill Kisame.

Kisame chuckled as he joined Sinobi in the fighting, while Gaara walked over to Shikamaru. He planned on killing him right then and there, until one of the Jounins suddenly threw a rain of Kunais at him. Naturally, the Shield protected him and Gaara turned towards his attacker. Shikamaru planned on attacking Gaara from behind, but a lightning bolt suddenly struck him in the chest, making Shikamaru get thrown through a few trees.

Sinobi smiled. "You owe me one, Gaara!"

Gaara didn't react to that and watched as the Kyuubi Clones suddenly threw themselves into the battle as well. 'So the clones were waiting for that guy to be knocked out..' Gaara thought as he threw the unconscious form of Shikamaru a last glance.

'Now we'll win this for sure..' Gaara thought with a grin as he begun hardening his sand and attacking all around him, very gleefully.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"We're being followed by three people." Dareda stated. "And Naruto is using his advanced Chakra to move out of the village." Dareda finished, with advanced Chakra, of course meaning Kyuubi's Chakra. "Naruto and Mokito should have no problems getting out of the village… I am more worried for Sinobi and the others."

Itachi nodded. "Hmm, they will be able to handle themselves.. Right now I think they know it's best to run…"

"Kakashi, Gai and Jiraiya… they are the ones following us." Neji suddenly brought into the small conversation. "What should we do?"

"Jiraiya? But that's the legendary one, right?" Dareda pondered. "We can't afford to be recognised… Too bad, though, it would be interesting to fight him.."

And Itachi began performing one high-level Genjutsu after the other.

'What's…..?' Kakashi stopped jumping. "Genjutsu.." He stated as he saw a huge pile of trees blocking their way.

Jiraiya and Gai had already stopped beside him. The three easily undid the Genjutsu, only to see there was a Genjutsu on top of this one. This time, it showed they were in the middle of Leaf Village, while they were in fact in the forest. Kakashi narrowed his eyes. "This is very high-level Genjutsu… used for escape. It might take a while for us to get out of these sets of Genjutsus… and by the time we do… they will be long gone…"

Jiraiya sighed. "Do it as quick as you can anyway… I have a funny feeling about these intruders…"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sasuke was as free as a bird. Something one wouldn't expect for someone who was, at the same time, a subordinate of Orochimaru. But Sasuke often took long walks and Orochimaru knew Sasuke would come back anyway. There simply was no place else where Sasuke could grow stronger faster. This day, Sasuke had wondered off from the others as well, and when he was drinking water by a small river, he sensed people. Sasuke narrowed his eyes and quickly and as silent possible, leaped up at a tree and concealed his own presence.

What Sasuke saw, or who Sasuke saw, made his eyes widen a great deal. Familiar figures from the past. Though all five of them were still Chuunins, Sasuke mused. What were they doing here? They were very close to Hatsu's barrier. The barrier he had created to keep out enemies, like Akatsuki members or hunter-nins. He didn't expect these four to come here. They had changed quite a deal…

Hyuga Hinata was the current leader of the small group. Sasuke could sense she was the most powerful one of the group. 'She must have developed her Hyuga abilities.' Hyuga Hinata became a nice-to-look-at woman. With her hair slightly longer and her posture way more confident, she became very pretty.

Inuzuka Kiba… Still as rash as always, or so Sasuke figured. The boy, now a young man, with his now taller dog by his side, could have lost some of his old nature. Judging from his stance, Kiba could be more controlled of himself now.

Akimichi Chouji was one of the biggest changes. Sasuke narrowed his eyes at the fat boy who was now no longer fat. He actually looked well built and the confidence on his face was very apparent. 'He must have found a way to use those Akimichi pills in a better way… Somehow, I find it hard to believe that he lost so much weight… even if it has been five years.' Sasuke smiled as he saw Chouji take some food from his pockets. 'But some things don't change..'

Yamanaka Ino, with two swords and a bow on her back. 'That will get in the way in a real battle.' Sasuke thought as he observed her more thoroughly. Her hair was long again, a few long hairs were hovering in front of the right side of her face, while the rest was wrapped in a big bush of hair behind her, almost reaching her butt.

And then there was Haruno Sakura, Sasuke couldn't help but blink at her. Her hair was longer, though not as long as Ino's and her hair barely reached her breasts. Sasuke narrowed his eyes, there was something very strange with Sakura, he felt a very strange change in her. Sure, she was more confident, but that was only logical after five years. There was something else, as if she was OVER-confident.

Suddenly, Sasuke's eyes widened as he saw Akamaru bark at Kiba. Then he saw Kiba sniff his nose around and he watched how Kiba's eyes wandered over to his direction. He gritted his teeth as he watched how Hinata activated her Byakugan. 'I can't believe this!'

Hinata's eyes widened as she noticed who it was who was watching them. 'Sasuke-kun?'

The other four prepared themselves, not knowing who it was they were facing. Sasuke raised his Chakra a great deal, making sure the others could sense him and would come to his help fast. Four against one wasn't fair. He could probably win this, but not without getting hurt. And he couldn't afford getting touched by the Hyuga girl or be overtaken by the Yamanaka girl. Sasuke jumped down. 'Perhaps I should talk until the others come here..'

Sasuke began with a sentence that was perfect for the situation. "It's been a while…"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"There are too many!! We'll have to run!" Sinobi yelled as he was surrounded by two Jounins and a Chuunin.

Kisame and Gaara looked coldly at Sinobi. "Why don't you go berserk, Sinobi? It could help a lot in this situation." Kisame yelled as he dodged several attacks and reflected many Kunais with his big sword.

Gaara didn't even have to dodge, since he had all his defences activated. He simply picked an opponent to crush and did it. But he had to admit, there were far too many and his Shield of Sand had proven to be insufficient a few times already.

"If I do go berserk, Hoshigaki, you know fully well that I won't be able to control myself." Sinobi stated as he kept his attackers at distance with a few lightning bolts, but was kicked hard in the back after he finished his sentence.

Kisame gritted his teeth as a Kunai hit him in the left leg. "Damn you!!" He yelled as his sword expanded in the width and ripped the attacker apart. Kisame quickly jumped away from a rain of Kunais and performed a water Jutsu to keep the Chuunins busy.

"We should go… I want to prevent me from getting hurt.." Gaara suddenly interjected. "There are more coming this way.. I will use my Carnage attack as we flee.." Gaara stated as he got ready to jump. He quickly threw an enemy away using his hand of sand.

Sinobi and Kisame nodded. Kisame created a huge wave of water as a barrier so the three of them could make their escape. As Gaara took a gigantic leap, he turned in mid-air and performed several hand seals. As the huge wave Kisame had created diminished, he started his attack. "Suna Shuurajou!!"

And the hardened sand with hundreds of sharp spikes attacked every Shinobi that would dare follow them. Gaara smiled and followed after Sinobi and Kisame.

"Mission accomplished."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Itachi, Dareda and Neji arrived at the spot they had agreed to meet after the mission, they saw Naruto and Mokito were there earlier than them. It wasn't that much of surprise to them. They already sensed the other three coming their way and Dareda and Neji had confirmed so with their Byakugan.

Mokito watched the Scroll in her left hand while she rubbed the sore spot on her cheek with her other. "We had more dangerous missions than this one.. but I never got hit this hard before.." She whined. "Damn.. and that was just one hit… How long did she have to train to get that much strength?"

Naruto only grinned and didn't feel like saying anything.

Gaara, Kisame and Sinobi took that moment to land in front of them. Itachi nodded. "Well, let's go."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sakura was too shocked to be able to open her mouth. 'Sa.. Sasuke-kun! Is that Sasuke-kun? Yeah, that's Sasuke-kun!! Is it really Sasuke-kun?! Sasuke-kun!!!'

Ino's thoughts were almost the same as they stared at their idol. She was totally frozen as she stared at Sasuke.

Kiba snarled. "So, we encounter a missing-nin… I say we take him back to Leaf Village. What do you say, Akamaru?" Akamaru barked, although he was very aware of the Chakra that radiated from Sasuke's body. Akamaru barked at his boss to inform him of this.

Kiba narrowed his eyes. "Well, I expected nothing less from this guy, after five years.."

Chouji simply stared at Sasuke. 'Ok, this guy is definitely out of our league… but if we work together..' Chouji narrowed his eyes and steadied himself.

"Uchiha Sasuke. Are you willing to come back with us? Or.." Hinata find herself interrupted by Sasuke. Or rather, Sasuke answered her second question.

"You'll have to force me." Sasuke stated with a grin. "However, I do not wish to fight. Can't you just.. run off and let me be?"

Sakura and Ino were still speechless, so the leader, Hinata countered. "No, you are a missing-nin of Leaf Village. You will come with us."

Sasuke shook his head and sighed. "I don't want to do this.. You guys should know when to challenge someone and when to not challenge someone."

Kiba had quite enough of this guy and performed a single handed-seal with his right arm. "Sankontessou!!"

Sasuke easily dodged the attack by stepping to the side. "In this battle, every little amount of Chakra you lose with every attack is very important. You just lost precious Chakra, Inuzuka."

Kiba narrowed his eyes. "Don't underestimate us!"

Sasuke narrowed his eyes, ignoring the all too familiar sentence. "You guys are already too late.." He stated as he pointed behind him. Where Teri and Hatsu stood, itching for a battle.

Akamaru barked his lungs out at Kiba, telling him these new two arrivals together with Sasuke would definitely be too much for them. Kiba growled.

Hinata gazed at Akamaru, before facing the three Shinobis before her. "We will" She got interrupted by Sasuke again.

"No, you won't. We will leave here peacefully.. if you follow, you're dead." Sasuke finished, turning around and jumping away. Hatsu and Teri groaned and followed after him, disappointed since they really wanted to kill them..

Hinata turned around. "We have to go back as fast as we can! We now know of Sasuke's location!" Her words however, were only heard by Kiba, Akamaru and Chouji. Sakura and Ino were still watching the retreating form of Sasuke.

When Sasuke, Hatsu and Teri entered the camp again, Teri spoke up. "Oy, Sasuke, don't you think it would be best if we had killed them? They now know our location."

Sasuke's eyes widened. "Shit!"

Hatsu stopped Sasuke from returning. "Too late, they're long gone… Besides, Orochimaru can put a Genjutsu around anyway. Don't worry."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"They've taken the Scroll of Hidden Seals.." Tsunade stated. Before her stood most Jounins.

Jiraiya nodded. "This is very dangerous. We do not even know WHO took it. If the one who stole it can actually understand everything that's in the scroll… we have a big problem… Especially… if they find Naruto.. If only we knew who it was.."

Shikamaru suddenly interjected. "I.. I was attacked by sand.. I don't know if we can conclude something out of that.. but at least we know it was a Sand Shinobi."

Another Jounin snorted. "Well, I was attacked by lightning."

Another followed saying "And me by water."

Tsunade groaned. "So this is not getting us anywhere. Jiraiya, what's in that scroll anyway?"

Jiraiya pondered a bit before answering. "Well, just the forbidden Jutsu's of this village. Ninjutsu, TaiJutsu, Genjutsu.. all of it… or well, in other words.. Kinjutsu. Kage Bunshin, Opening the Celestial Gates and Kuchiyose Edo-Tensei are a few examples…"

A silence fell as Jiraiya explained. The Jutsu's were all very powerful no doubt. Kakashi broke the silence.

"They used very high levelled Genjutsu us. These people were no ordinary Shinobi… They easily breached the defences of the Village, which means it was someone who knows our village from the inside." Kakashi summed up. "And Hat here.." Kakashi said, looking at the Hyuga Jounin beside him. "Had spotted someone.. with a Sharingan.."

Tsunade's eyes widened. "What?!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Orochimaru.. We have a problem." Hatsu stated as he walked towards Orochimaru, who was busy looking into a certain scroll. "Intruders.. two of them.."

Orochimaru glanced at Hatsu. "Wait a minute, Hatsu.. I'm almost finished." He stated, still reading the scroll. "We'll deal with them.."

"Orochimaru, One of them… I already know for a real fact.. it Aburame Turin.. one of the Akatsuki. I can sense that girl anywhere… That Bug girl just leaves such an obvious scent of… well… bugs. "

Orochimaru dropped the scroll on the ground and stood from his seated position. "Aburame, ey? It must be because of Sasuke, who increased his Chakra outside of your barrier yesterday, that made them come here and check it.. It's an unfortunate coincidence that those two were close. Now they will also find your barrier."

Hatsu nodded. "Yes… and my barrier is very sensitive against… bugs… especially Chakra-eating bugs.." Hatsu stood up. "It seems they also broke your Genjutsu around my barrier."

Orochimaru nodded before he started thinking. "They're with two, we're with five. We will have to fight against them… We'll win this, we outnumber them by a great deal.."

Hatsu turned around. "They just broke the barrier… they should be here soon.. Let me round up the others." Hatsu said, before he ran to collect the others.

Before Hatsu could go and collect Sasuke and Kimimaro, the two Akatsuki members stood before him.

Doro Odei smiled as he and Turin landed before Hatsu. "Nice barrier you left, here, Hatsu…" Turin said while grinning evilly.

"We can move like the wind… or have you forgotten?" Doro asked.

"It's been a long time since I last saw you… Our leader thinks you've betrayed us… is he right?" Turin asked, eyeing Hatsu.

Doro remained silent and watched how Teri and a stranger approached them. Turin narrowed her eyes at the stranger and looked straight into his eyes. 'That's Orochimaru…' Turin thought as he heard two others approach them, two other strangers he simply did not know.

Doro narrowed his eyes. 'Damn… I never thought they would be with this many people… If it's going to be hard, I think it's going to be summon time… Or maybe Turin has a plan.'

"Nice of you to visit… However, you are not welcome here." Orochimaru started. "But now that you know our location, we can not let you leave.."

Doro narrowed his eyes at the stranger before him. "So, you're the leader of this little petty group?"

Orochimaru frowned. 'Ah, of course, he can not see past my new body.' Orochimaru chuckled. "Doro, you idiot. It's me, Orochimaru."

Doro's eyes widened. "What.. I see.."

Turin stepped forward. "I does not matter. We work with special signs… we leave these signs behind so other Akatsuki members can find us. We left one straight before your barrier, Hatsu. It radiates a special Chakra for a very long time and only us Akatsuki members can recognise it. You three WERE Akatsuki members and you won't be able to find it."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes. "You two will die here anyway, so it doesn't matter.. We'll find another place to live."

Doro suddenly turned serious. "I'm sure you have your evil plans, Orochimaru, as always. However, you won't have the time to work them out. Our leader has already collected three of the ten Scrolls of Hidden Seals... And you… have the one form the Sound Village… Please, hand it over and do not force us to kill you.."

Teri frowned. "Are you stupid? We are with way more and you dare threaten us?! I will make you learn not to underestimate us, you fool!"

All of them took on a fighting stance.

Sasuke leaped forward, towards Turin, but was immediately yanked back by Kimimaro. "No… don't attack that one physically.."

Sasuke frowned. "Why the hell not?! I can do more than you can, Kimimaro!"

"It is rather obvious you do not have your Sharingan activated, Sasuke." Hatsu suddenly spoke up as he stared at Doro and Turin. "You can't attack Turin head-on. With a simple touch on her body you're down.. She is a bug.. literally.. and a very poisonous one at that. One touch will, in fact, kill you."

Sasuke was released by Kimimaro and spoke up. "What if I just don't attack her face? She's fully clothed anyway."

"My advice to you from now on… Activate your Sharingan. Those are no clothes… those are millions of bugs…" Teri spoke. "I can hear all of them.."

Sasuke took Teri's advice and activated his Sharingan. His eyes widened at Turin's body… With his Sharingan he saw Chakra all around Turin, but also he saw the Chakra was moving. 'So the Chakra.. the bugs are the Chakra.. This is a Bloodline Limit?'

Turin smiled. "If you're not going to attack, I will!"

She approached Sasuke and Kimimaro and followed them as the both jumped away in great speed. Doro meanwhile did a few hand seals and glared at his three opponents. "This will be a very hard battle.. Uindo Tate!"

"Heh, you actually think that puny shield will protect you?"

Doro smiled. "For the most part, yes. Only very powerful attacks will get through this shield, but most powerful attacks are incredibly slow compared to the weaker ones. That's why I.." Doro jumped backwards. "Prefer to attack from a distance!"

Orochimaru smiled. "Fool… You don't know what you're up against."

Hatsu and Teri began performing hand seals, while Orochimaru vanished from view. Doro suddenly made punching movements directed at both Hatsu and Teri. Hatsu and Teri immediately jumped away, as from Doro's hands, powerful wind blasts came out.

Hatsu landed a few feet away and had finished his hand seals. Teri had landed on a tree branch and was also finished and was ready to attack Doro. Doro smiled as he suddenly screamed and expanded his Wind Shield. From behind, Orochimaru was swept away by the huge wind blasts that were surrounding Doro.

"Hakaze Atemi!!" During his yelling, Hatsu had already begun his running towards Doro. Doro snarled as he started jumping back, Hatsu's Leaf attack was easily being cancelled out by Doro's Wind Shield. The leaves were simply blown away as soon as they came to close. Hatsu suddenly began attacking more rapidly and stronger, bigger leaves. Doro watched as the attack was about to finish and Hatsu put all his might into the last leaf. Doro made his entire Wind Shield block the leaf, making sure it wouldn't come through.

"Mokunen!!" Teri suddenly screamed as she appeared just beside Doro, precisely after Hatsu's attack had finished..

And all forms of sound disappeared for Doro Odei… 'I'm… deaf?'

TBC..

A/N: Thanks for reading!! I understand if things seem a bit rushed, especially during the fighting, but these two chapters were just a start, so you can sort of see how strong everyone has become and where everyone is standing in the good-evil bar. I hope you like it! I've got perfect plans for later chapters, oh and there will be pairings, but probably in Book 3… Oh, and as for spreading the situations in the first chapters over more chapters… I'm considering it.. But right now… I'm going to try and draw my OCs and the adult forms of the Genins Naruto, Neji, Gaara, Sasuke, Ino, Hinata, Kiba, Shino, Lee, Ten-Ten, Shikamaru, Chouji, Kankurou, Temari and Sakura. Fanart… never tried that before… I could definitely use some help!
