It took the group the rest of the day in order to make it back to Kohona. As the group made it to the gates of Kohona they were greeted by none other than Kuma whom ws standing right beside a woman with long dark brown hair and bright green eyes. The woman was wearing the same outfit as Shippo with her headband tied around her waist. Upon getting closer the groups eyes widened to the size of saucers as the recognized the woman as Ayame.
"Oi, there you guys are!" Shouted Kuma
"Hey everybody." Smiled Ayame as she looked at the group.
"Ayame but...how?" Asked Sango.
"It's a long story but I'll tell you about it later."
"Tell them what?" Said Kuma.
"Nothing you need to be concerned about yet, why don't you go and rest in the hot-springs with Haku, Kouga, and Shippo."
"Hot-springs you say?" Said Kuma as a lecherous grin that would put Miroku, Jiraiya, and Kakashi to shame spread across his face
"And no peeping."
"Damn." Muttered Kuma as he walked off towards the hot springs but not before whipping out a book from inside his robes and letting out a few perverted giggles along the way while blushing.
"What book is he reading to make him blush like that?" Asked Miroku.
"Some perverted book called Icha Icha Paradise." Said Ayame disgustidly.
"Hey my teacher reads that damn book and Ero-Senin writes them! If he reads them then that makes him a pervert!" Shouted Naruto as he pointed at the vanishing form of Kuma.
"Naruto it isn't nice to judge somebody like that." Said Kagome.
"No he's being accurate when he's talking about Kuma, he is a pervert." Said Ayame lamely.
"He seems like a decent young man." Said Kyuubi.
"That decent young man carressed my ass and breasts the day I was assigned to be his Jounin teacher."
"So he's as bad as Miroku and Kyuubi." Said Sango as she cast a glare at Miroku and Kyuubi.
"Thank you for the vote of confidence." Said Miroku and Kyuubi.
"Ayame why are you here?" Asked Inuyasha.
"Waiting for you guys for the past five years."
"Five years?"
"Kouga and Shippo have been waiting a good ten years, Rin has been waiting six years, while your brother has been wating for over eighty-nine years. He created our village in case Naraku decides to show his ugly self."
"So you were right about us being sent us to different points in time in this world Kagome." Said Kyuubi.
"And my damn brother has been looking for us and preparing seeing as how Naraku and his bastards were sent here also." Said Inuyasha.
"But what about Crescent Village?" Asked Naruto.
"It was created by your Sesshomaru two years after he arrived here. Everyone in the village has demon blood flowing within their veins, and we've been allied to the Leaf and Sand since the Third Hokage was chosen."
"Thanks for the info."
"So is there anything else that we need to know?" Asked Kagome.
"Yes in the preliminaries Naruto defeated Hakkaku in your match and Sasuke beat Ginta, also that Rock Lee beat Neji, Gaara defeated Hinata through knocking her out, and Haku was left out of the competition as there was a uneven number of Genins. Also Kyuubi you've been listed as a transfer ninja to Crescent Village so you better put this on your body somewhere." Said Ayame as she handed a Crescent Village forehead protector to Kyuubi.
"Did you just say Haku?!" Shouted Naruto.
"You know him?"
"Yeah...but he's supposed to be dead with Zabuza."
"Well they aren't, they were made Ninja of Crescent Village a year ago."
"Man this is getting confusing."
"So what about Kouga and Shippo?" Said Kagome.
"Kouga is the Jounin instructor of Haku and Shippo is just a Jounin acting as a gaurd for Sesshomaru with Zabuza." Said Ayame.
"Well that seem okay but what about Rin?"
"She's back at Crescent seeing as how Sesshomaru believes something is going to happen during the exams."
"What?" Said Kyuubi.
"Orochimaru is planning to attack but that isn't all, our spies have said that he has amassed an army of lesser demons." Said Ayame.
"Great."
"So what are we going to do?" Asked Naruto remembering Orochimaru.
"Nothing except wait."
The group walked through the streets of Kohona where people were glaring at them, well more like they were glaring at Naruto and Kyuubi as they passed by. The group continued to walk through the city of Kohona before they were stopped by none other than Naruto's teacher, Hatake Kakashi. The Jounin merely raised his one visable eye in amusement as he walked up to Naruto and put his hand on top of his head.
"Yo Naruto how are you doing?" Said Kakashi as he ruffled Naruto's hair.
"I'm fine Kakashi-sensei, how about you still reading that perverted book Ero-Senin writes?" Laughed Naruto.
"Of course, just got the limited edition one with five really hot girls and a hapless guy that manages to get with all of them."
"Geez this book seems so dirty....mind if I read one." Said Miroku as he walked up to Kakashi.
"Here's volume one." Giggled Kakashi as he whipped out a gold plated volume of Icha Icha Paradise.
"Thanks."
"Kakashi-sensei you pervert!" Shouted Naruto while Miroku began to blush and giggle as he read the book.
"Oh quit I was trained by the Forth who was trained by Jiraiya-sama whom was trained by the Third, meaning that since you're trained by me you're going to be a little pervert yourself." Stated Kakashi.
"Like hell I am!"
"Anyways how are you Yoko no Kyuubi?"
"How do you know?" Said Kyuubi as he looked at Kakasi uneasily.
"Sensei told me what would happen if the fail should weaken and you two split."
"Kyuubi what is he talking about?" Asked Sango.
"Something that me and Naruto will explain later, now's just not the time." Said Kyuubi.
"Anyways I'll escort your friends to their sleeping quarters for tonight Naruto and Kyuubi, see you at the finals." Said Kakashi as he walked off with the others leaving the two psuedo brothers alone in the streets.
"Well Naruto let's go, you need to rest up before the finals."
"Yeah. Hey let's have some ramen for dinner!"
"Heh, sure bro." Smirked Kyuubi as he slung his arm around Naruto's shoulder
The Uzumaki brothers went back to their apartment where they ate some ramen and Kyuubi taught Naruto a few genjutsu before the blonde haired youth fell asleep. The following day the stadium was filled to capacity with many villagers and ninjas from Kohona and some from the foriegn villages. Naruto stood in the center of the exam field where he saw Kuma giving him a thumbs up while Rock Lee was standing around and talking to the Sand trio of Kankuro, Garra, and Temari. Looking around some more he saw Haku standing next to Shikamaru whom was just staring up at the clouds while Shino was standing mutely. In the stands Inuyasha and the others were sitting down rooting on for Naruto while some villagers just glared at them for even mentioning the name Uzumaki. Soon Iruka walked out onto the field and the Genin began to line up.
"Okay everyone, welcome to the Chuunin Exam Finals. Now all of you here are here to demonstrate your skills to everyone here in hopes of being promoted to the rank of Chuunin. To let you all know you are to fight until you are unable to continue or give up of your own free will. Also if you aim to kill your opponent after they've surrendered you will be disqualified." Iruka said as he overlooked the Genins, "Alright, for the first match we have Kuma Oryn of Crescent Village and Temari of Sand Village."
"If anyone said I'd have to fight a cute girl like yourself in the Chuunin Exams I would have called them a damned liar." Kuma grinned as everyone except for himself, Iruka, and Temari left the arena.
"I'm flattered but that won't get you nowhere in this fight." Smiled Temari as she pointed her fan at Kuma.
"Well it couldn't hurt to try."
"So shall we start?"
"Hell yeah! DOTON! DORYUU ENDAN!" Said Kuma as he finished a set of hand seals as a large dragon had made of dirt came from the ground and shot several masses of mud at the girl.
"NINPO, KAMAITACHI!" Shouted Temari as she sent Kuma's attack flying back at him with a huge gust of wind.
"Hey, no sending back attacks!"
"Shut up and fight!"
"Whatever you say! MOKUTON! JUKAI KOUTAN!" Kuma said, much to the surprise of most of the older ninjas, as a minature forest erupted in the middle of the arena.
"KUCHIYOSE! KIRIKIRI MAI!" Said Temari as she bit her thumb and slid blood over her fan and swung causing a badger with a bandanda over it's left eye and surrounded by sickles and other bladed instruments to appeared and reduced the newly created forest to firewood.
"Crud...GAIA ORYN!" Shouted Kuma as he he drove his hand into the ground and pulled out a sword made out of rock which was covered in dark green vines that was just as big as Zabuza's decapitator sword, "GAIA BIND!" The teen then swung the sword in a wide arc sending out a wave of thorned vines flying at Temari's summon wrapping around it tightly before it puffed out of existance.
"You're really letting it all hang out aren't you?" Smiled Temari as she lept away from Kuma.
"You know it! Hah now that you don't have that damnned fan you can't use your jutsus." Kuma smirked as he rushed at Temari and began to slash away until he sliced Temari's fan in two.
"You think that I wouldn't be prepared for something like this? Well that'll cost you! RYUUJIN NO MAI!" Temari declared as she pulled out a smaller fan which was decorated with one red crescent slash and a circle, which caused Inuyasha and the group to look on in shock.
Up in the stands, Inuyasha and the others were watching with great intrest as they saw Kuma being swallowed up by Temari's attack.
"Hey wasn't that Kagura's fan?" Asked Kyuubi.
"Yeah...but why would a human girl like her have the fan?" Said Sango.
"And know Kagura's most destructive attack." Stated Miroku as he watched the battle intensely.
"This is intense...hey Kagome is Kuma alright?" Asked Inuyasha.
"Kuma...he's okay there's some type of barrier surrounding him." Said Kagome as she stretched her senses over to Kuma and saw the outline of a barrier surrounding him.
Back with the Genins...
"Man this is over, Temari has this in the bag." Said Kankuro.
"I don't think so." Said Haku.
"Oh you're that Haku kid right?" Said Kankuro as he turned around to face Haku.
"Yes, and it would be wise not to underestimate my teammate seeing as how he hasn't even begun to use his family's specialty."
"What, you mean that kid down there has a bloodline limit?"
"You could say that, Kuma can use magic."
"Magic...okay somebody's been hitting you on the head to much."
"Believe what you will for now because you're just about to turned into a believer."
With the Jounin instructors....
"So Temari is using her mother's move." Said Baki thoughtfully.
"Her mother was a ninja?" Asked Gai.
"No..well she was a woman came to our village ten years ago. She was incredibly strong and believed in nothing but freedom she also cared for Temari and her brothers like they were her own. Besides if I were you I'd start getting the boy's cofin ready because I know of nobody who've survived that attack."
"Don't underestimate Kuma." Said Ayame sternly.
"How can't I when he's being pummeled by my student's attack?"
"Because the Oryn family from Crescent Village teach their own only a set number jutsus which are mostly earth and wood. The number they learn are between six and ten but they're the only ones in the known world that can use magic and summon the creatures known as Aeons." Said Kakashi as he took his head band from over his eyes.
"Seems like somebody's has done their homework."
"No, I've just done a few missions with a Oryn girl before when I was thirteen...man the times we had." Said Kakashi as he closed his eyes as if he was smiling.
"The only Oryn female around that I know of is Kuma's mother Shara." Said Ayame as Kakashi's eyes snapped open in shock.
"Is she married?"
"Nope, had Kuma out of wedlock when she was just fifteen, from what I heard her father said he was going to feed the guy that got Shara pregnant to the Aeons."
"Oh shit." Muttered Kakashi as he looked down at Kuma.
Back on ground level, Temari was panting as she watched as her attack finally died down with a grin which was soon replaced with a look of shock as she saw Kuma sitting on the ground with a smile on his face and a small greenish-white cabbit with long purple tipped ears, a red jewel on it's forehead and a long fluff tipped tail sitting on his shoulder.
"How the hell could you survive that?!" Shouted Temari in disbelief.
"Oh nothing my little friend Carbuncle couldn't handle..isn't that right?" Cooed Kuma as he scratched the creature under it's chin before getting up.
"You're begining to get really irritating."
"I hear that alot, Carbuncle cast Protect around the entire crowd okay?" Kuma said as Carbuncle happily bobbed it head and lept off of his shoulder as his jewel began to glow. The crowd looked on in awe as they saw a silvery wall form in front of them before it vanished completely, "Alright I didn't want to do this but since my jutsus and lesser magic aren't working I guess it's time for me to use my powerful summoning magic."
"Magic...wait a minute are you saying that you're a Mage-Nin?!"
"Haven't you heard that all Mage-Nins come from the Oryn family." Smirked Kuma as in the Genin waiting area Kankuro watched slack jawed, "Now if you don't mind I'll be winning this match. Soaring through the skies, bringer of the rains of life, lord of of the winds, I beckon you to bask my foe in your righteous rage, I summon you....QUETZACOTL!"
The sky above Kohona began to be covered by thick dark clouds. In less that twelve seconds everything was dark with the exception of lightning which was arcing its way across the clouds and into the arena. A loud bird shrill was heard as a bolt of lightning struck the middle of the arena blinding everyone except Kuma in its wake. As the light died down the audience was captivated at a large jage colored eagle with two streaming tail feathers, large golden eyes, and electricity racing down its body. The bird lowered reared back with its beak open before it snapped it forward sending a blast of lightning at Temari. The girl was sent flying backwards into the side of the wall. After the creature finished its attack, it vanished in the same way that it appeared leaving the sky cloudless once more.
"Winner, Kuma Oryn!" Shouted Iruka after a minute had passed.
"Maybe I went a bit overborad summoning Quetzacotl huh?" Said Kuma while looking at Carbuncle as he raced over to where Temari was laying.
"Ahh..." Moaned Temari.
"Hey don't move you just got smacked with over 1,000 volts."
"It hurts...I can't move my body that much."
"You'll be fine in a manner of minutes, so lets just get you to the waiting area so my friend can help you out." Said Kuma as Temari gave him a weak nod.
"You are a very tough opponent." Said Temari as Kuma lifted her up in his arms while Carbuncle lept onto Temari and began to lick her cheek.
"So are you, nobody besides my mom, the Tsukikage, and Shippo-onee have ever made me summon a Aeon before in battle."
"Thank you."
"Don't mention it." Smiled Kuma as he carressed Temari's butt.
"Hey watch your hands you little perv." Said Temari slyly while Kuma tried to act innocent.
"I know not what you're talking about."
Back up in the Kage booth, The Third and the Kazekage were talking about the recent fight.
"That was a most interesting fight."
"The boy, Kuma, has drawn my attention. To think that somebody can actually use magic, he should be able to win the entire tournament."
"Well gentlemen I believe that we should wait before we make assumptions like that." Said Sesshomaru as he stepped out of a shadow casted by the Hokage's Jounin gaurd.
"Ah Tsukikage how are you?" Smiled the Hokage as the Sesshomaru sat down next to him.
"I'm well, now let's watch the rest of this exam now and see the outcome." Smiled Sesshomaru as Zabuza appeared behind him.
At the Genin Waiting area everyone was talking about the results of the match just like the rest of the crowd.
"See I told you not to underestimate Kuma." Smiled Haku.
"So you were right." Said Kankuro as he waw Kuma jump up onto the rail of the waiting area.
"Oi Haku can you help her get her mobility back?" Said Kuma as he gestured to Temari.
"I'd love to." Smiled Haku.
"I saw you." Said Garra as he walked up to Kuma whom was setting Temari down on the floor.
"What are you talking about?" Asked Kuma.
"I saw you fondling my sister in the arena. Don't ever fondle my sister unless you feel that living is overrated." Stated Gaara coldly as he gave Kuma the 'I will kill you' look.
"Uhh sure whatever you say...creepy ass kid." Muttered Kuma as he watched Garra walk away.
"Ero-Mage." Said Naruto as he glared at Kuma.
"Whatever Bakakage."
"Alright for the next match we have Rock Lee of Leaf Village and Uchia Sasuke of Leaf Village!" Shouted Iruka as the crowd went wild at the mention of the name Uchia.
"Alright, time for me to show that my victory over Neji in the preliminaries wasn't a fluke." Said Rock Lee as he jumped down to arena.
"Humph." Scoffed Sasuke as he teleported into the ring with leaves swirling around him.
"Let's give it our all Sasuke." Said Lee as he gave the 'Nice Guy' pose.
"Shut up before I kill you before this match even starts." Said Sasuke coldly as he glared at Lee with Sharingan eyes activated.
----------------------------------------------------
Kuma: Damn, man that was a pretty good workout if I don't say so myself.
Naruto: You're a pervert.
Kuma: No I'm not....though I would like to....
Gaara: Are you speaking of doing anything perverted with my sister?
Kuma: No....
Gaara: For your sake you had better not.
Naruto: Ha! Ero-Mage!
Kuma: Don't call me Ero-Mage damnit!
Haku: Idiots. The Chuunin Exams continue on with the match between the Genius of Hard Work, Rock Lee versus the No. 1 Rookie Uchia Sasuke. Something isn't right as Sasuke starts out with an intense killing intent as he to the surprise of all activates his curse seal to level two. Rock looks like he's about to loose but what's this...he's unlocking seven of the Eight Celestial Gates. But Sasuke's power is beginning to overwhelm him and cause him to loose control and attack the crowd and Rock has only one choice but to open the final gate knowing full well it'll kill him. Next time on Foxed, Shiki Renge. The Death And Rebirth Of The Beautiful Green Beast.
