Chibi-sasuke309- Thanks for the corrections. Really? It's Tsunade? I really thought it was Tsunande. It really seems like there are diff translations every huh? Cause I swear I had a review before from someone who told me that Konichiwa was good morning and not hello. But I don't know. I'll just have to be confused. Are you Japanese?
Stoictimer- I'm really sorry. I didn't explain the jutsu clearly enough. Read at the bottom cause I'm going to put it there now. Sorry about that.
Clone-sniper- Interesting…. I think I need my vocab checked again.
LiL-Desert-Demon-Kitsune- Is it because you could do it in 3 days or its easy to write because this story is in Konoha?
Dragon Man 180- Haha. Yeah. Maybe. I might use your idea coming up. I like it. Will you get offended if I do? Like I said in my profile, I'm not really fond of Naruto/Hinata. I REALLY don't see anything at all with them. One is shy; the other is loud. It's really weird….to me. I don't know. I just don't see it.
Sorry I haven't updated for a long time and read!
"Okay, the last question is…. You pass!"
"What the hell?" Kiba stood up and slammed his hands on the desk top, "What happened to the last question?"
"A shinobi must not back out on a mission. You guys all are not scaredy-cats and are confident in your abilities. Great job everyone." Ibiki answered.
The window to Ibiki's right shattered as a new ninja came in. She put her hands on her hips and yelled, "Hi! My name is Mitarashi Anko. I am the examiner for the second exam and you are all to proceed to training ground level-"
Naruto stopped listening and concentrated on the woman's neck. She had some sort of weird seal, but it was covered up. The only reason Naruto paid attention to the scar on the examiner's neck was because it had let out an evil aura. It made Naruto shiver in his shoes.
He stopped thinking when he felt everybody around him move. He went with the flow. While he was walking, deep in his thoughts, he jumped out of them temporarily as he felt somebody hit him in his right arm. It was Sakura.
"Naruto! You are so immature! What were you thinking?" Sakura tried to stare him down.
Naruto looked at her puzzled, "What the hell are you talking about?"
Sakura started fuming at his lack of intelligence. "What were you thinking when you had that nose bleed?"
"What?"
"You were looking my way before you had it you.. you.. .you pervert you." Sakura yelled.
"What? YOU accuse ME of pervertness?" Right then, Naruto slipped and fell on a puddle of yellow water. (Could be Akamaru) He tried to hold on to anything to keep him from following. Sakura. He reached out to grab on to anything. Anything. Sakura…..
"SEE! YOU FREAKING PERVERT!" Sakura yelled. She took a step back and Naruto fell on his face.
Sasuke was at the doorway, waiting for Naruto and Sakura. He was smirking as he saw Sakura getting mad at Naruto.
"Come on you guys. We have to leave." Sasuke called out.
"Ok! Sasuke-kun!" Sakura ran next to Sasuke.
Naruto slowly got up and walked toward them.
When everyone was at the training ground neat the forest of death, Anko explained the rules. There are two scrolls: Heaven and Earth. Each team will be given a scroll. When they go out into the forest, the team would have to fight another team so they could get the other scroll. Then they have to proceed to the building in the middle of the forest. Among the dangers of being attacked by other teams, the chuunins had left traps that should be noticeable from a genin's standpoint. So the genins had to look for chuunin made traps, genin made traps, and other teams attacking them. This wouldn't be an easy task for the genins.
When each team got their scrolls, they went to their numbered gates and prepared to go in. To the right of team 7's gate, there was a group of rain genin. Naruto paid close attention to them as he fingered his kunais.
When the gates opened, Naruto quickly stepped out and threw three shrikens; one for each team member of the rain nin.
The rain nin, not expecting this early attack, was caught off guard as the kunai's hit each of their right legs, making them more easier to track.
Anko and the chuunin were surprised by this sudden attack. Was that young boy eager to fight or did he just do that to save him trouble? Did a genin truly possess such foresight?
By Sasuke's and Sakura's shock, it was easy to tell the blond haired genin acted by himself. After Naruto threw his shurikens, he grabbed three more and threw them at the rain nin's other leg. Unfortunately, the rain nin were prepared, They blocked the shuriken with a kunai and began to run.
Naruto immediately pursued them. He grabbed three more shuriken in his left hand. In his right, he held a kunai.
In seconds, Sasuke and Sakura stood there alone looking at Naruto's back as Naruto chased the three rain nin.
"Sakura, C'mon!" Sasuke yelled as he ran after Naruto.
Sakura jumped back to her senses and ran also.
Anko smiled as she thought, This chuunin exam is getting very interesting.
"Naruto! Wait!" Sasuke and Sakura yelled as they tried to catch up with Naruto. Naruto still had his weapons in hand.
He was easily gaining on the rain nin because they were injured. Suddenly, he disappeared from both his teammates and the rain nin's view.
The rain nins stopped, confused, and started running again as they saw Sasuke and Sakura give chase.
Suddenly, all three of the rain nin stopped turned around facing Sasuke and Sakura. Two of them had pulled out 5 shurikens each and soon, there was 10 shurikens flying toward Sasuke and Sakura. In seconds, the third one finished his jutsu. He started collecting his chakra but was kicked in the face. The rain nin cried out and fell on the ground. Naruto landed next to him and put one of his sandals smashing on the rain nin's face. His two other hands were occupied with a kunai held at the other rain nin's throat.
Then Sasuke and Sakura arrived. They had successfully dodged the shuriken's safely. When they arrived, the three rain nin were safely wrapped up, lying on the ground. Naruto had just finished tying the last knot.
He looked up at Sasuke and Sakura and said, "Sorry. They have the heaven scroll. The same one as us."
Sakura ran up to him and slapped him in the face. "Sorry? Sorry? You started fighting without a warning, you ran after these ninjas without telling us, and you made us run to catch up with you! You're unbelievably stupid Naruto."
Sasuke, however, was looking at Naruto intently. "Why did you fight them right when the gates opened?"
Naruto looked at Sasuke and said, "Didn't you see them? They were unprepared and because they weren't alert, they got hit with a kunai on their leg. That slowed them down so we could catch up with them. I just wish they had the earth scroll instead. Understand?"
Sasuke nodded. Naruto started taking the three rain nin's equipment. He gave some to Sasuke and Sakura.
"Well, now we just have to find another team. But, I don't think we really have to." Naruto said.
"What the hell are you talking about? Baka. Whoever made you the leader?" Sakura asked.
"He's talking about us." Three ninjas jumped down. They were Konoha-nin. They all were male and were really buff. One had a big katana on his back, (Like Kisame from Naruto and Ichigo from Bleach.) another had two short swords on his back, the last had a long sword on his left hip (like Kenshin).
Sasuke called out, "Which scroll do you have? You are no use to us if you have the heaven scroll."
"Sasuke-kun! You are so smart!" Sakura squealed.
"Then you are of use to us." The nin with the big katana said.
Naruto's eyes narrowed. He went to a stance nobody no one there could recognize, "Bring it on."
Sasuke, not wanting for Naruto to fight all of them, started charging at the three nins.
The three nins suddenly said, "Wait. We have a proposal to make."
Sasuke stopped and said, "What kind of proposal?"
The nin with a long katana said, "Let's have a one-on-one match. If we win, you give us a heaven scroll. If we lose, we give our earth scroll. Only one match though. No seconds. If you cheat, we will be forced to kill you."
"You shouldn't have pity on us." Naruto said, "It's you guys who are going to have their asses kicked. Not ours."
" Really? Well, I only see a scared girl, an overconfident kid, and a boy that isn't going to trouble us a lot. We have the advantage three on two." The man with two short sword replied.
"What do you mean? There are three of us!" Sakura said.
"You do not count as a shinobi. You are too weak." The man with the big katana disgustedly said, "Do you accept our challenge?" Sakura gaped at his comment.
"I will fight whoever you choose." Naruto said. But he was immediately yanked back by Sasuke.
"No! I will." Sasuke said as he stepped in front of Naruto.
"Yeah! Sasuke, kick their asses for me!" Sakura yelled.
Naruto shrugged, "Don't blame me if you lose." Sakura and Sasuke glared at Naruto.
The man with two short swords stepped up. "I am your opponent. You do not need to know my name. All you need to know is that you are going to lose."
The man pulled out his two short swords and started encircling Sasuke. Sasuke took out two kunais; one for each hand.
The man charged at Sasuke. His first slash was blocked by Sasuke. His second slash swiped Sasuke's chest. The man laughed as he continued to slash at Sasuke. In the first five seconds, Sasuke knew he lost. The man was just too fast for him to block.
Sasuke quickly jumped back at started forming hand seals.
"I WON'T LET YOU!" Yellow chakra enveloped the man's swords as he jumped up into the air. The man pointed at Sasuke and made a swiping motion in the air. A line of yellow chakra replaced the place the man slashed formed and raced after Sasuke. Sasuke, seeing this, stopped his hand seals and jumped away. The line hit the ground, causing a big hole.
The man made more slashing movements with his sword from the air. Naruto, watching from a distance saw Sasuke was going to lose badly. The man was boxing Sasuke in. His first four yellow chakra lines went around Sasuke. His other yellow chakra lines went closer to Sasuke. The man's last two yellow chakra lines were going to hit Sasuke straight on and Sasuke had nowhere to go because of the dust the man's other yellow chakra lines created.
Naruto was about to rescue Sasuke when a snake came up from the ground and let the yellow line hit it. The snake slid toward the man with the yellow line attack, bit him, poisoned him, and swallowed him. His yell was silenced as the Snake's poison silenced him.
Sasuke was dazed. A snake out of nowhere came rescuing him from death. Who sent this snake? Who would help me and is strong enough to summon?
The rest of the sword team was angry. They wanted to avenge their comrade. The man with the big katana drew his sword. By now, his sword was covered with brown chakra. The last teammate held out his long sword. It was covered with white chakra also. Wind picked up as it surrounded his sword. Fire from his left hand added to the power of the sword.
The man with the big katana attacked first. He started slamming the ground so hard, that chunks of rocks flew at the snake. Unfortunately, it wasn't strong enough to harm the snake. The big man did it again. This time, his partner helped. His partner pointed his sword at the snake and wind as fast as a bullet empowered by fire blew at the snake. The rocks, in between the snake and the bullet wind empowered by fire was forced to go faster as the bullet wind fire caught up with it. Then the rocks became a deadly combination of fire and speed. They hit the snake at its body and flesh broke. Smoke rose at its impact.
The rest of the sword team waited in anticipation. That one attack alone took most of their strength. They panted heavily as they tried to rest so the rest of their chakra would come back. The snake turned into smoke and the two ninjas smiled.
Suddenly, the man with the long sword fell on his knees. Another mysterious man stood beside him. The mysterious man punched the man with the long sword in the stomach. His fist appeared at the other side of the newly made corpse. Blood splattered the face of the dead man's friend and teammate.
The man with the big katana was outraged. Once again, brown chakra surrounded his sword. He cut at the man in front of him. The snakelike man dodged every attack he made. The next time the man slashed his sword, the snakelike man quickly caught it and bent it until it was completely unusable. Then he appeared in front to of the other man and punched the guy's jaw breaking it.
The man quickly took out a kunai and stabbed the jaw-broken man. The snakelike man stood up and left his kunai there. He started walking toward Sasuke completely oblivious to the fact that Sakura and Naruto were running to get next to Sasuke. This was done in a completely fluid and graceful motion. He took them out as if it were a simple training exercise. The man had pale skin and really long hair. His face reminded team seven of a snake. The eyes most particularly.
"Sasuke-kun, My name is Orochimaru. Show me how good you are. What I just saw there was pitiful. Your brother, Itachi, is much better than that. If you want to kill him, how are you going to do it like that? I see you have more talent than him. You're just not using it properly. Show me how strong you are, Sasuke-kun." Orochimaru stopped 5 feet away from Sasuke.
"How do you know about Itachi? I'll kill you!" Sasuke yelled.
Naruto, on the other hand, was dazed as he saw this man was the genin that he had felt the aura of evilness in the first room of the first exam. The presence of the evil snake-like man was overwhelming the atmosphere around him. But luckily, Naruto did not have the ability to sense what Orochimaru could do when he was serious. He was only feeling the power in Orochimaru's playful state.
Naruto recovered quickly, but knew he had lost time. He ran silently (for a genin) straight at Orochimaru. He could not think of a plan due to the lack of time. Naruto ran at Orochimaru with his hands outward just like the Ibiki race runner guy but more to the sides.
Naruo's long sleeves hid his whole arm so that no flesh could be seen. If one looked carefully, one could see that Naruto's sleeves were a little bulky as if trying to hide something. In his mouth was a kunai. When he was about 8 feet away from Orochimaru, Naruto drew back and spat a light bomb in the shape of a kunai out and released chakra. This spitting motion helped Naruto run faster at Orochimaru to the point of stumbling quickly. He then directed his chakra and pushed the bomb straight at Orochimaru's feet. Naruto threw the 2 balls for two reasons. One, it was a light ball and it would temporarily blind everybody within eyesight of it for 5 seconds. Two, when Orochimaru sidestepped it, he would be completely unable to move away because of his shock and his unpreparedness.
Orochimaru sidestepped to the side and chuckled, "Pathetic." His eyes widened as he realized it was a bomb. The next millisecond he would realize it was a light ball. Before the light ball shaped as a kunai hit the ground, Naruto was only 5 feet away from Orochimaru. At that moment, Naruto, in his mind, placed Orochimaru at that part and closed his eyes. His weapons retracted from its cover revealing itself to be a short foldable sword. At the same time, Orochimaru put his hands together and made a seal. The flash bang blew up and blinded Orochimaru, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura. Naruto slashed four times at the spot where Orochimaru was. For each hit, Naruto could feel that it connected.
In five seconds, the genins eyesight's cleared. A log was at the place where Orochimaru should have been and it was chopped into four pieces. Naruto made small motions with his weapons and it retracted into a small pocketknife. He looked around to see if he could find out where Orochimaru was hiding.
"Heh Heh…. So hasty to fight, but I have no use with you. All I want is Sasuke-kun. He is the only purpose right now. You are just an annoying little fly." Orochimaru's voice rang out all around Naruto. By this time, Sakura had caught up with Sasuke. Sasuke was quivering with anger and quickly looked for Orochimaru.
A large snake came up from the ground and headed straight for Sasuke and Sakura. Sakura screamed. Naruto broke his mind from concentration and tried to think of a possible way to save Sakura and Sasuke. He soon realized his mistake.
The snake that was heading for Sasuke and Sakura simply disappeared. It was a genjutsu. Naruto's eyes widened in shock. He had been tricked. In a blink of an eye, a snake flew right were Naruto was standing and opened its mouth. The last thing Sasuke saw as the snake slidded away was Naruto holding the snake's teeth with his feet and hands.
Orochimaru dropped down from a tree in front of the remaining two genins. The two genins looked into his eyes and became trapped in their own fear. It was the kanashibaru technique. This technique trapped the opponent in his or her tracks and made them fearful of their enemy. All Anbu ninjas can use this but the person who could do this the best was Orochimaru. The two genins could do nothing as Orochimaru slowly walked towards them.
"This is bad. This is not good at all…" Naruto muttered as he was using all his strength. He was bleeding. He was bleeding a lot. Naruto did not take out kunais fast enough so he had to hold the teeth with his bare hands and sandals. The snake's teeth quickly tore through Naruto's sandals. The only reason why the tooth did not pierce through Naruto's foot completely was because of all the hard and rough training that he had endured. But that did not mean it did not pierce the skin.
"Kuso… I just hope this fat snake doesn't have poison in its sacs…" Just as Naruto said that, he looked up and noticed the snake's sacs containing poison in them. Just my luck… Naruto thought.
Naruto quickly jumped away as the snake let loose of its poison. Naruto was able to avoid most of the poison but some of it had got his right leg and now it hurt a lot.
Naruto was going to have to finish this quickly or he wouldn't be able to heal his poison and help Sasuke and Sakura with Orochimaru.
Naruto started to make hand seals as he was running from the snake. The snake started destroying all the trees in its path looking for one little genin. Naruto finished his hand seal and started his technique. Lightening spread all across is fingertips and only there. He started running at the snake. But his leg started hurting because of the poison and he had to stop kneeling with one leg down. The snake saw this weakness and quickly struck.
The snake was about to reach Naruto when he suddenly leaped up and, on his way up, touched the snake's head and shocked 100 volts into its head. The snake was blinded for a second but the second was all that Naruto needed. He quickly made one hand seal and struck the ground. Out of the ground, a large lance came out (Almost like FMA, but its not alchemy, its summoning.). Naruto quickly grabbed it and struck the snake through the place between the head and the rest of the body. The strike severed the head and body apart. The body, however, did not stop its motion and rammed into Naruto. Naruto dropped the lance and it disappeared.
The snake, however, did not disappear for it was dead. It would return to its realm when the master picks it up. Naruto was trapped under the snake and the poison was spreading throughout his leg. The snake's body was a little too heavy to push off. Naruto was trapped again.
Orochimaru had gotten up close to the two genins. He made a hand seal slowly and binded them to the tree. Suddenly, Orochimaru looked at the direction in which Naruto was carried of by his snake. Orochimaru walked over to Sakura first. He had created a new idea.
"My dear, Do you care for Sasuke-kun?" Orochimaru asked.
Slowly, she nodded her head.
"Enough to kill someone?"
Sakura's eyes widened as he said this. She thought this over carefully and reluctantly nodded. She dared to speak, "But not someone I hold close to me."
"Good. Go that way and you will find your other teammate. Kill him and Sasuke will live. Do not and I will kill Sasuke and I will know if you did it or not."
Orochimaru created a kage bunshin and said, "Go with her and watch if she kills her teammate or not."
Sakura reluctantly pulled out a kunai and ran in the direction Naruto was in.
Sasuke was too paralyzed in his fear to think or say anything as Orochimaru directed his attention on him.
"Now, back to you, Sasuke-kun." Orochimaru licked his lips like a snake preparing to eat a tasty meal.
The poison hurt Naruto. It hurt him a lot. It was affecting his systems so much that he could not think. A voice in his head was growling for him to get up, but Naruto was too feverish to pay attention. The snake's body pinned his arms to the ground so he could not reach his legs. The poison left Naruto too weak to lift up the snake. He had waited too long to heal the poison. And that mistake was going to cost him. It was going to cost him good.
Naruto heard some shuffling behind him. He painfully twisted around to look at the person. To his relief, it was Sakura.
"Sakura! Help me take this snake off me! I need to take the poison of my…" Naruto stopped as he saw Orochimaru standing next to her. After a minute of observation, Naruto knew it was a kage bunshin.
Back where Orochimaru and Sasuke were, Orochimaru bit at Sasuke's neck and left a seal. Sasuke screamed and fell to the ground as Orochimaru's ropes came off. Sasuke immediately blanked out as he hit the floor.
"Sakura! What the hell are you doing?" Naruto whispered feverishly. His whole front was wet because he was sweating like a pig.
Sakura was kneeling down next to Naruto and rose a kunai to stab Naruto with. Behind her, the kage bunshin of Orochimaru's grabbed a sword from the dead genin's hand from before and poised to strike at Sakura as soon as she killed Naruto.
"For Sasuke." Sakura said as she thrust the kunai at Naruto.
TO BE CONTINUED
HAHAHA Cliffhanger! Hope you liked it. Well, until next time. Now for Revenge.
