OH! I am sooooooooooooo sry!!! An almost month update! Damn school! I have no more time anymore. (... someone help me...
Well, Chapter 6 is finally up....please review. Your reviews would be very helpful since I'm all busy with school. Well enjoy!
Is Naruto a vampire? Yes and no. He likes to drink blood cause it taste good and makes him stronger. But he doesn't need it to survive. Vampires need blood to stay alive.
Chapter 6: The Second Exam: Secrets...
Sakura and Shikamaru watched as Naruto came from the trees with the scroll of Earth, the one that they needed.
Sakura thought that the red on his clothing seemed to be more vibrant but she brushed the thought aside.
"Now we head for the tower," Naruto explained. "Since most teams more than likely haven't gotten their scroll yet, let's take our time and not waste our energy heading to the tower."
The other two agreed. They team began to make their way to the center of the forest. About an hour or so, Naruto stopped halting the others. It was night and the moon was bright.
"We should make camp now." Naruto then walked over to a large tree. "This is a good spot. You guys rest, I need to go do something." With those last words, Naruto faded.
"How troublesome..." Shikamaru sighed.
Sakura just stared at the empty space where Naruto just stood a few seconds ago...
A figure stood on a large tree branch and rested. His pale face was peeling and his long hair covered his face. He had just undergone a battle...
"Naruto..." he spoked while smirking.
"Orochimaru..." Naruto spoke behind him.
"Come to meet your old master?" Orochimaru chuckled.
"This isn't a reunion!" Naruto yelled. "Why the hell are you here? This is my mission. You are not to interfere!"
"I am in no way interfering with your mission, but I may interfering with your desires..."
Naruto glared at him.
"I want the Uchiha, and I can see you want what he possesses. It's a race to see who gets him first." Orochimaru smiled.
"Well, damn the Sharingan, but you still are interfering. How will I become a chuunin if you destroy this village? I know your desire for vengeance. What if Itachi hears about this?"
"Damn Itachi and the Akatsuki!" Orochimaru lifted up his fingers. "I no longer wear the ring! I left the damn organization!"
Naruto clenched his fist. "Sensei..." Naruto lunged at Orochimaru and grabbed his throat only to find it turn into mud. Naruto immediately turned around completing a round house kick. His kick hit something, but it was only another Orochimaru decoy.
Orochimaru's laughed was heard all around him.
"Naruot-kun...I like you. You and Kabuto are my best subordinates. We'll meet again soon..."
Naruto relaxed and listened as the laughing died away.
"Sensei..." he whispered to himself.
Naruto then felt a presence approaching him. Naruto faded away to high up above the trees.
Naruto peered down. The examiner Anko was trailing Orochimaru.
"Anko?" Naruto wondered...
Flashback...
Naruto was just a tiny kid and was just sitting on the floor when a purple haired girl appeared in front of him.
"Aw! What a cute little thing!" the girl spoke while pinching Naruto's cheeks.
Naruto just stared dumbfounded at the weird girl.
"Cute? You call the possessor of Kyuubi cute?" Orochimaru asked.
The girl turned around and nodded.
"Anko...a ninja doesn't think something is cute..."
"I'm a girl..."
"Ninjas must kill one another without hesitation..."
"I'm a girl..."
"Ninjas must enjoy the taste of blood..."
"Ew!"
End flashback...
Naruto sighed.
'Anko...I remember now. She was Orochimaru's former subordinate...'
Naruto faded away back to camp...
The next morning...
The three were back on their way to the tower when they were stopped by Naruto once again.
"What is it?" Sakura asked.
"Follow me..." Naruto commanded and sprinted off.
The two followed and hid behind a bush.
Sakura gasped.
Ino and Hinata were fighting off the three Sound-nins. Sasuke was unconscious and Hinata looked pretty beat up.
The Sound-nins just laughed as they kept attacking the two girls.
Suddenly, out of no where, there was a green blur and a Genin appeared. It was Rock Lee.
"If I am to win Sakura's heart, then I must become stronger! To become stronger, I will defeat you!"
Dosu merely chuckled and charged at Rock Lee. Lee dug his hands into the ground and pulled out a large piece of the tree roots preventing Dosu from continuing with his attack.
"I saw you move before. There's some sort of trick to it right?"
Lee hopped back and began unwrapping his bandages. Dosu charged once again. Lee suddenly disappeared and reappeared underneath Dosu giving him a powerful upward kick in his chin.
"I'm not finished yet!" Lee cried out. His bandages began to wrap around Dosu and constricted him. Lee then grabbed Dosu and began to spin into a whirlwind downward.
"Take this! Secondary Lotus!"
Zaku gasped. He completed a few seals and thrust his hands into the ground right before Dosu slammed into it.
Lee watched as the dust cleared and Dosu pushed himself off the ground.
"That is a terrifying move. I dropped into a sponged ground, but it still hurt like hell. Now it's my turn."
Dosu charged again for the third time and missed completely. Lee stood for a few moments and collapsed. He then vomited and blood dripped from his ear.
"It's sound. You dodged my fist, but my sound attacked you. The human eardrums vibrate to hear sound. It will shatter at anything above 150 decibels. And, by applying shock to semicircular canals, an opponent will lose his sense of balance."
Dosu then charged at Sakura. Lee then appeared and diverted the attack but lost his balance.
"Looks like my previous attack is still working." Dosu then gave a punch that was blocked by Lee. "This arm amplifies the sound that is generated to its maximum, like a speaker.
"I can also use my Chakra and join the sound together to control it to the target!" Lee gave a cry and then collapsed to the ground unconscious.
Kin then charged at Ino with a kunai and swung. Pink hair flew into the air. Sakura had pushed Ino aside while the kunai passed harmlessly by while cutting her hair. Everyone gasped.
Sakura then threw a few kunai at Zaku. Zaku merely smirked and held out his hands and created a blast of wind. The wind caused the kunai to be deflected back and Sakura and cut her up, but the razor winds also cut up Sakura, Ino, and Hinata.
Dosu began to charge but found that he couldn't move. Shikamaru was standing next to him with their shadows connected.
"The Shadow Bind technique..." Dosu muttered.
Kin stared at Dosu but made the mistake of not paying attention when Ino used her mind-transfer technique on her. Kin (Ino) placed a kunai against her throat.
"Don't do anything or I'll kill myself," Kin (Ino) threatened.
Zaku merely smiled and attacked Kin (Ino). "So, if I attack you in this body, you get hurt in your original body as well." Ino canceled her technique and went back into her own body.
Kin fell to the ground unconscious while Ino wiped the blood away from her mouth. Shikamaru's technique canceled.
"It's over," Shikamaru said hopelessly.
Dosu sighed. "We let our guard down."
Dosu then charged at the nearest person who was Hinata. Naruto then appeared suddenly blocking the attack from hitting Naruto. Dosu stared into the eyes of the demon.
Before the sound was released from the amplifier, Naruto quickly grabbed it and used his own chakra to neutralize it and chipping off a piece of it. Dosu broke free and jumped back.
'Who the hell?' Dosu thought.
Then, in one quick moment, everyone's attention was diverted to a growing mass of chakra, Sasuke.
"Girls, who did this to you..." he asked. He looked at his hands. "This power...He gave it to me. I understand now. I am an avenger. I must obtain power no matter what, even if I must let the devil take hold of my body...
"So. Who did it? Say it!"
"I did it!" Zaku cried it. Sasuke's eyes glared at Zaku. The black markings now covered all of his body.
Naruto clenched his fist. 'He's strong...the cursed seal has increased his power...'
"Dosu! Don't be afraid of this half-dead guy!" Zaku cried out.
"Zaku! No! Stop!"
"I will kill them with all this! Maximum Air Cutter!" A big blast flew from Zaku's hand causing everyone to take cover.
"Heh. They blew up into pieces."
"Who did?" Sasuke spoke standing right next to Zaku. He hit Zaku causing him to fly to the side.
"Zaku!" Dosu cried out.
Sasuke completed a set of seals. "Kataon, Housenka!" Flames flew from Sasuke towards Zaku.
"Don't get cocky! I'll erase it!" Zaku then blasted air extinguishing the fire to reveal shurikens.
"What?" Zaku cried as he fell back.
In a flash, Sasuke appeared behind Zaku and had a foot against his back while holding his two arms. Sasuke began to apply pressure to back.
"You seem to be proud of your arms..."
"Stop it..." Zaku begged. There were two snapping sounds as Zaku screamed in agony.
Sasuke then looked at Dosu. "That leaves you. You better entertain me better than him..." and he approached Dosu.
Everyone stared in fear but Naruto knew exactly what to do. Naruto quickly appeared in front of Sasuke and they stared eye to eye. Two dark-clothed shinobis with red eyes were staring at one another.
"Stop..." Naruto spoke.
Sasuke's markings began to fade away and he fell down on the ground. Ino and Sakura rushed to his side.
"You're strong," Dosu spoke. He took out his scroll and placed it on the ground. "Let's make a deal. Please leave us alone for now."
Dosu walked over and picked up his comrades and walked off.
Sasuke stared at his shaking hands. "What was I..."
Two other people appeared next to Lee. It was Hyuuga Neji and Tenten. The picked up Lee and then left. Sakura, Ino and Hinata were huddle around Sasuke.
"We must leave Sakura. He will be fine. I am confident. He won't be easily killed or defeated. You will see him again at the tower," Naruto told her.
Sakura hesitated but then stood up. She said good-bye to everyone and her welcomes when they thanked her. Naruto, Sakura, and Shikamaru then left for the tower.
'Sensei...are the Sound-nins fodder for Sasuke? And this is the first I've actually seen the Sound techniques. You've never showed me them...Sound attacks, interesting.' Naruto touched a piece of the amplifier that had chipped off.
After about an hour, they made it to the tower and walked in. They read the sign and they opened both of the scrolls and threw it on the floor. There was a puff of smoke and Kakashi stood before them.
"Yo!" he greeted.
"This is a first. You are actually on time," Naruto spoke.
"Uh...yeah. I'm just hear to congratulate you for passing the second exam. Now you guys must rest and wait for other team members to get here and wait for the five days to be up. There's a room behind that door so you can rest and freshen up." he explained.
"Out of curiosity, who made it here first?" Naruto asked.
"Mmmmm.......I think it was the Genins from Sand that made it here first, setting a new record too!"
Naruto walked over to Kakashi and whispered something in his ear. Kakashi nodded.
"Well, I need to go now! Bye!" Kakashi disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Naruto began to make way to the door while the other two followed.
"How troublesome. We have to wait..." Shikamaru sighed.
Sakura just followed while thinking of what happened in the forest...
