All of the fighters that participated in the Chuunin Selection Exam stood infront of the Hokage and a rather down Tsuchikage. Naruto stood beside Hinata while Gaara and Konohamaru stood beside the couple. Ino ,Temari,Shino, Lee and Sasuke stood along with the four. Ino had lost her fight with Hinata earlier on. She had come prepared in fighting Shino but she never expected for Hinata to win.
Tsunade gaze proudly at the Genins that had pass the selection exam. With a nod from the Tsuchikage , Tsunade pulled out a scroll which contained the results of the exam.
"Congratulations to all of you who participated in the exam..All of you performed well but not all will be promoted. " Tsunade announce while she carefully read the scrolls contents. As if on signal the Jouning teachers appeared behind the two kage's along with the Chuunin Examiners.
"The 5 Shinobi villages and also the minor villagers would like to announce that the following Shinobi's are hereby promoted to the rank of Chuunin." Tsunade said while watching each one of their reactions. All of the participants were fidgeting impatiently , they were anxious to know who were promoted. "Gaara of the Desert , Hyuuga Hinata , Sarutobi Konohamaru ,Rock Lee , Uchiha Sasuke and Aburame Shino are promoted to Chuunin."
Naruto was shocked when he heard all of the names that were called out. Sasuke smirked as he recieved his Chuunin Vest wearing it proudly over his Uchiha clothes. "Hah Even if you defeated me dobe i still win since I've been promoted and not you" Sasuke said while showing off his vest to Naruto. Naruto meanwhile was fuming inside , he glared at Tsunade trying to ask why he wasn't promoted. Tsunade gave him a smile and gave a cough to get the attention of the newly promoted chuunins.
"Uzumaki Naruto..." Tsunade said with authority and a commanding voice. Naruto stood at attention immediately noticing the tone of Tsunade's voice. "Your strength surpasses that of an average chuunin or even the most skill chuunin. I cannot promote you to Chuunin" Tsunade said while looking straight into Naruto's sapphire orbs. "This is the first time in the history of the Chuunin Exams that a Jounin is promoted. Uzumaki Naruto you are hereby promoted to Jounin" Tsunade said giving NAruto a big smile while handling him the Jounin Uniform. All the others were shocked by this new development and looked at Naruto in admiration.
'That dobe surpass me again! Why must I be so weak' Sasuke thought as he glared darkly at Naruto. Not able to take it anymore Sasuke protested "Why is that Dobe promoted to Jounin when we are only promoted to Chuunin??" Sasuke demanded while glaring at Tsunade. "I would say It's because your close to him. Your playing favorites." Sasuke accused pointing his finger at Tsunade. Tsunade's eye twitched trying to calmy herself and trying to stop herself from breaking everybone in the Uchiha's body. Naruto meanwhile was seconds away from ripping Sasuke's throat out for insulting Tsunade.
At this point the Tsuchikage chose to interrupt the arguement "It was not her decision to promote Uzumaki-san to Jounin. It was the Feudal Lord's decision to promote him. We are not the judges that make the decision concerning who gets promoted. The Feudal Lord saw it fit that Uzumaki-san surpasses the expectation for a squad leader." The Tsuchikage glared intensely into Sasuke's eyes and then continued "You Uchiha Sasuke are hereby stripped of your rank of Chuunin and demoted back to Genin..It was a mistake promoting you..You lack manners and you show no respect to your superior."The Tsuchikage said firmly while Tsunade was still angry at the way Sasuke accused her.
"Tsunade-baachan..Don't demote Sasuke to Genin again..he deserves to be a Chuunin even though he lacks manners." Naruto said reasoning with Tsunade to persuade her. Tsunade closed her eyes and nodded , a vein had popped out of her brow. She opened her eyes and started to yell at Naruto.
"HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU NOT TO CALL ME BY THAT NAME!!!" Tsunade yelled loudly at Naruto while the newly promoted chuunins and genins cowered in fear. Sasuke also cowered in fear upon hearing Tsunade's voice.Naruto meanwhile was laughing loudly and began to dance around happily. Hinata joined in after a few leaps then everybody else joined in. Sasuke meanwhile stood there shocked at what Naruto just did for him. "Thanks...Naruto" Sasuke said to himself then joined in on the celebration.
Tsunade meanwhile along with the Tsuchikage left the stadium followed by a few Jounins and Chuunins. "Begin phase 1 and 2 of the plan" Tsunade said as the shinobi;s behind her disappeared with a puff of smoke. Kakashi meanwhile didn't poof out, he remained behind Tsunade waiting for any orders. "Summon Naruto and the new chuunins to my office immediately" Tsunade said as she heard the alarm go off.
Back at the stadium
Naruto and the new chuunins were celebrating by laughing and making plans to go to Ichiraku. Kakashi arrived just in time to stop them. "Wait..Tsunade-sama said to go to her office now..We have an emergency" Kakashi said as he teleported out of there. Naruto suddenly remembered what he told Tsunade before his fight with Gaara. Naruto and those who knew a teleporting jutsu immediately vanished from the stadium.
Meanwhile at the gates of Konoha.
Orochimaru had arrived on top of Manda while he sent other gigantic snakes to deal with the walls of Konoha and it's guards. His sound shinobis immediately leaped into action attacking the defending leaf-nins. Kabuto was in combat with some leaf-nins while Orochimaru and Manda attacked the gate itself creating a huge hole on it. The other snakes separated from each other and went on separate directions causing havoc.
Back at the tower, Tsunadewas preparing for Orochimaru's arrival while discussing the course of action with the Jounins and Chuunins new and old. "We are under attack by the Sound. They are making their way to this place but luckily I was able to initialize the old plan of the Sandaime. In the third phase this is what we do Sasuke we know that Orochimaru will be after you. So you are to be guarded by three ANBU's and Gaara of the Desert. Konohamaru take Sakura and Ino to the east part of Konoha and lure the sound-nins to the trap there. Hinata your job along with Neji is to contact the Hyuuga for battle. Shikamaru I leave the Nara clan and Akimichi clanto you. Jiraiya and I along with Naruto will deal with Orochimaru. Kakashi you and the other Jounins take care of the rest of the sound-nins. ANBU Squads 1 to 24 when the signal is seen DRIVE the sound out of our village at any cost." Tsunade said while nods of understanding where being shown by everyone.
Tsunade meanwhile gaze out of the tower to see the large form of Manda making their way. "We don;t have much time..Move!" Tsunade ordered which the nins immediately did disappearing from Tsunade's sight. Only Naruto and Jiraiya stayed behind , their breathes held in anticipation. Naruto meanwhile suddenly sense the chakra of a demon. Naruto quickly closed his eyes and used Kyuubi's bloodline to commnicate with the elements.
The winds begun to communicate to him about an ancient evil that now surrounds Orochimaru. The Snake Demon Serpentor , A demon that rivaled the power of Kyuubi. Naruto's eyes shot wide open in shock. He realized this was the demon that Kurama spoke of. He quickly prepared himself for a battle of a life time. On his arms the Black Dragon tattoo and the Fox like Tattoo in his right arm started to glow as if excited about the upcoming fight.
Tsunade quickly threw Naruto a package she got from her desk. "Put It on Naruto..It was your fathers" Tsunade said as he watched Narto quickly tear the wrapping away to reveal the Yondaime's cloak. Naruto quickly put the cloak on and felt the gravity's pull maximize 50 fold. 'Nani??" Naruto thought as he tried to move his body. He pulled the cloak off and folded it quickly. He placed the cloak in a small gate he opened. "It's too heavy I'll wear it later." Naruto said as he sensed Orochimaru arrival. Manda tore thru the Tower's wall ripping it to shreds.
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" Both Tsunade and Jiraiya yelled as they summoned the Slug and the Toad into the fight. The battle of the Legendary Sannins was about to begin when Orochimaru suddenly did something else. "Kuchiyose Edotensei!!" Orochimaru yelled as four coffins began to arise from the dark portals. Orochimaru had summoned the 4 Hokages while he stood on top of Manda. Orochimaru immeiately place seals on the back of their heads before the Third and Fourth would attack him.
Naruto meanwhile growled in anger at the way Orochimaru just summoned the past Hokage's not even paying any respect to the dead. Naruto quickly leaped out of the way as Manda lunged at him. He flipped backwards away from Manda's huge head. "Tsunade-baachan...You and Jiraiya take care of Orochimaru I'll take care of the four Hokage's" Naruto said as he set his eyes on the fourth. Naruto knew that the fourth would be the most dangerous.
Orochimaru was shocked when he saw Naruto standing beside Jiraiya and Tsunade. 'That Kyuubi Brat! I didn't expect him to be here' Orochimaru thought as he and Manda prepared to fight. meanwhile on Orochimaru's arm a seal over his Summoning Tattoo started to glow. POOF Manda began to grow even larger than before.
Naruto vs the 4 Hokages
'Okay this is bad..I gotta go against The Old man and My own Father not to mention the two Hokage's in blue and red.' Naruto thought as the 1st and 2nd Hokage used Kokuangyou no Jutsu while the first used Mokuton: Jukai Koutan to bind Naruto. Naruto struggled to get lose form the vines as the third attacked with a Katon: Karyuu Endan on him. Naruto quickly forced chakra all over his body to form a protective shell from the flames.
A familiar sensation suddenly surrounded the 5 fighters. 'Oh shit.....Dad just had to open his gates' Naruto thought as he opened his eyes to find blue rings of light appearing infront of him. Naruto quickly tore off the vines and used Kawarimi to escape the Yondaime's attack. 'What the hell am I going to do?? I can't fight 4 Hokages!' Naruto thought to himself as he tried to dodge most of the 4 hokage's attacks.
Naruto quickly created 5 Shadow clones to help him fight. He sent two to deal with the 1st and the 2nd and the other 2 for the third hokage. The real Naruto stood along side a shadow clone to deal with the fourth. Naruto charged forward aiming a flying kick to hte fourth's head The fourth evaded the kick and threw Naruto towards a building. The clone was able to connect a punc with the Yondaime's chest. Naruto got up from the rubble and went back to attacking the Fourth.
Meanwhile the other clones were actually giving the 3 other hokage's some trouble. The 4 clones used all of the chakra that they had to overpower the Three Hokages. One clone threw a punch at the Thirds torso creating a whole in it but due to the jutsu's effects the wound just regenerated. The clones regrouped and thought of a plan to defeat the hokage's but it was a 50-50 chance of failing. They knew that they had to finish the fight soon.
Meanwhile the real Naruto was having trouble with the Fourth Hokage. 'Okay What to do What to do??' Naruto thought as he dodge to the right evading a stream of fire that came from the Fourth. He quickly spun around and landed a nice sweeping kick at the Fourth Hokage causing the man to fall on the floor. 'I'll have to fight seriously now' Naruto thought as he ran at the fourth quickly throwing a punch at the man's mid-section. Naruto then took a step backwards and launched a fury of rose petals towards the Fourth.
The petals began cutting up Fourth's skin as the man made his way towards Naruto. In his hand was theh Rasengan spinning wildly and the sound of a thousand typhoons surrounded the area where they were. Naruto silently cursed himself as he prepared his own Rasengan to challnge the creator of the very technique. On the tip of his fingers miniature spinning spheres started to form while on his palm three spheres spun wildly. The three spheres were the size of pingpong balls.'I hope this is enough' Naruto thought as he charged forward meeting the Fourth in the middle. 'I won't lose!' Naruto thought as he went to his full speed.
Naruto vanished from the Fourth's sight while the Fourth leaped into the air in trying to find Naruto. Blue Rings of Light formed under the Fourth while Three other rings of light appeared in a triangular formation. Each of the rings represented the 4 elements that the fourth controlled. 'Oh great This is what the Fourth was famous for..to be able to open four elemental gates. Offensive and Defensive.' Naruto thought as he appeared above the Fourth to ram the Rasengans in his hand. The fourth immediately thrust his own Rasengan at Naruto's Rasengan.
A flash of blinding light and a thunderous roar of a thousand Typhoons engulfed the surrounding area. The three Sannins paused in their fight because they felt th power being displayed by the Father and Son. Naruto was breathing heavily from the last attack. The fourth had pulled back slightly on the last attack knocking Naruto out of the way. 'I have to seal their souls..' Naruto thought as he quikly used the Tree of illusions to bind the 4 hokage's in one spot.
'Please forvie me for what i'm about to do' Naruto thought to himself as he wiped a single trail of blood on a scroll. His blood started to spread all over the scroll forming kanjis nad symbols. "Sealing Skill: Soul Entrapment" Naruto said as he place his hand before the scroll pouring chakra on it. A ghostly hand came out of the bloodstained scroll and reached out to the 4 Hokages. The hand reached inside their bodies and began to pull out the souls. The fourth suddenly started convulsing as his gates opened up and change to their negative form. 'Shit..Dad's the Negative gates..' Naruto thought as he braced himself for the damage that was about to occur.
Meanwhile back to the Sannins
Orochimar was outnumbered by the two Sannins. Manda lay motionless behind him , Gamabunta's dagger deeply imbedded right thru it's mouth pinning him to the ground. Tsunade and Jiraiya were panting heavily , Gamabunta and Katsuyu lay behind them motionless as well. Orochimaru was holding Kusanagi by the hilt while he waited for both to attack him. Without waiting for their attacks orochimaru wiped some blood on Kusanagi's blade. From the blade dark marks appeared on it the kanji for Demon Snake appeared. Orochimaru quickly raced the newly powered up Kusanagi into the air. From the ground a large snake erupted and encircled Orochimaru. It wrapped around him and seemed to melt into his pale skin.
"Mwahahahahaha So This is what it feels to have demon chakra" Orochimaru announced as he tested his new power on his two forner comrades. "With the Demon Snake Serpentor blessing me with his power I am unbeatable!" Orochimaru said as he rammed the Kusanagi right thru the unsuspecting Jiraiya. Jraiya coughed up blood as he tried to pull out the blade. Tsunade immediately went to help Jiraiya pulled the blade out. Blood dripped on the ground as Jiraiya lay on the ground , his life slowly being taken away from him. Tsunade started doing healing jutsu on Jiraiya trying to stabilize the wound and stop the bleeding. "Don't Die on me now Jiraiya!!" Tsunade screamed as she furiosly tried to heal his wounds.
"How Touching" Orochimaru sneered as he raised the Kusanagi to finish off Tsunade and Jiraiya. "Konoha falls Today!" Orochimaru yelled as he swung the sword downward towards a crying Tsunade. The Kusanagi was met by a Katana and a war boomerang stopping it's progress. Naruto had arrived just in time to stop Orochimaru from killing both Tsunade and Jiraiya.
"You!" Orochimaru yelled as he was pushed back by Naruto. "You've thwarted my plans for the last time Brat!" Orochimaru said as he prepared to finish off Naruto with a Kinjutsu but Naruto who was now completely pissed off didn't care what Orochimaru did to him. Tsunade had stabilize the wound and was currently watching Naruto's back. Jiraiya meanwhile was trying to tell Tsunade to get the hell out of there before Naruto lost it.
"Tsunade get us out of here Naruto's pissed off and the last time that happend Thousand were killed" Jiraiya said while trying to raise his body. Tsunade meanwhile carried Jiraiya with her remaining strength to a distance. Kakashi Gai and Asuma had arrived to assist Tsunade and Jiraiya. Sasuke had also joined in to help. All of them saw Naruto literally glowing with Red Chakra.
"Kyuubi's chakra is leaking out This isn;t good" Kakashi said preparing to use a sealing skill incase something went wrong. Jiraiya held his hand as if to say no. He shook his head and explained to those present. "That chakra is Naruto's ....It seems the seal that Yondaime placed on him had done it's job in absorbing Kyuubi. In exchange for the Kyuubi's soul Naruto recieved Kyuubis powers including the Kyuubi Bloodline" Jiraiya explained while wincing in pain. "The last time Naruto was pissed off was back in Kuruda where he defeated a thousand soldiers from invading the city." Jiraiya said shivering at the memory.
Back to Orochimaru and Naruto.
"You are no macth for me brat! I have fused with the Demon Snake Serpentor..i am blessed with his powers While you still have that Kyuubi sealed inside of you!" Orochimaru taunted as he finished forming the necesarry handseals. "Kuchiyose Edotensei!" Orochimaru yelled as he tried to summon the Hokage's again. Naruto just glared at Orochimaru , his once sapphire orbs were now replaced by the blood red eyes of the Kyuubi.
"Your summons wont come" Naruto said simply as he held out the four scrolls which contained the souls of the Hokage. "These are suppose to be respected and yet you tainted their clean souls with your evil!" Naruto screamed angrily a wave of red chakra bursting out of his body creating a small crater from where he stood. Naruto then held out Black Wing and His Katana apart. The blades were shown to Orochimaru as he charged towards the teen. "Uzumaki Kinjutsu: Dance of the Hell Blades!" Naruto yelled as red chakra poured into the two weapons changing the black and silver blades with a tint of red.
Ororchimaru countered with his Demonic Kusanagi in parrying Naruto's attacks. Naruto began to spin and slash wildly at Orochimaru using the two weapons to cut Orochimaru's defenses. Ororchimaru saw a vulnerable spot in Naruto's attack and lunged forward. The Kusanagi piercing thru Naruto's sides. The teen grunted in pain as he held the sword tightly in his hands. 'That hurt!' Naruto thought as he executed a double slashed at Orochimaru followed by a kick to Ororchimaru's chin.
This sent Ororchimaru flying backwards from Naruto's attack. Naruto meanwhile didn't want the snake a chance to retaliate. He quickly raced after Orochimaru using the two weapons to stop Orochimaru. Orochimaru saw his chance and swung the Kusanagi upward meeting the Katana's blade. the Kusanagi cut thru the Katana causing the broken blade to fly into the air. The attack sent Naruto skidding backwards he looked at his now broken sword. 'Kuso now what do i do??' Naruto thought as he saw a laughing Orochimaru begin to advance on him again.
Naruto quickly blew out a small sigh as he figured out to do. Ororchimaru leaped high into the air as he performed a jutsu which enabled him to wrap snakes around his Kusanagi. "DIE BRAT!!" Ororchimaru yelled as he descended towards Naruto.
'Shit no time!' Naruto thought as the bandages on his arm quickly unwrapped itself and black flames flew out of the teen's arm. "EN SATSU KOKU RYUU HA!!" Naruto yelled as he unleashed the fury of the King of Evils on a very very shocked Orochimaru.
"IMPOSSIBLE!! how can this brat control that!" Ororchimaru said as the black dragon began to burn him with its flame. Ororchimaru glanced sideward and saw Sasuke standing with the others. 'Perfect' Ororchimaru thought as he braced himself for impact.
Kakashi and the others were shocked to no end at what Naruto just did. "What is that thing?" Sasuke asked as both of the Sharingan users activated their eye abilities. 'Kaakshi and Sasuke soon found out that the move could not be copied at all. Jiraiya meanwhile was trying to see what was happening. They wanted to know if Ororchimaru has been defeated.
Naruto meanwhile knew that even if he unleashed Jaou on Orochimaru the snake would still be able to stand up. He waited for Orochimaru to appear above the smoke since the battle wasnt over yet. 'I better go all out now.. I have to finish off the fight now!' Naruto thought as he tried to sense Orochimaru's presence.
BOOM Ororchimaru flew out of the rubble and towards Sasuke. Ororchimaru used his tongue to capture Sasuke by the throat squeezing tightly on his neck. Orochimaru flew out of the battle area as four of his personal guards appeared beside him. Sasuke was struggling to break free from Ororchimaru's tongue but Ororchimaru was using some sort of poison that began to sap Sasuke's strength and chakra.
Naruto went after Ororchimaru to try and get back Sasuke. Ororchimaru's four guards quickly created a diversion to allow their master to escape. The ANBUs were in hot pursuit on Ororchimaru's trail but the remaining sound-nins that were still alive stopped them on their tracks. Naruto let out a roar of frustration as he fought his way out of the masses in trying to catch up with the fleeing snake.
Orochimaru held onto his prize as he squeeze Sasuke into unconsciousness. 'Soon i will have my perfect body' Ororchimaru thought as he leaped form tree to tree towards his lair.
"NO! DAMNIT!!" Naruto screamed as he slammed his hands on the ground causing tremors to shake the crumbling buildings. Tsunade placed a hand on Naruto's shoulder. "don't worry Naruto we will get Sasuke back" Tsunade said as she went to check on the wounded. Jiraiya meanwhile limped his way to Naruto and gave him a reassuring smile.
"Dont worry Naruto we will get the Uchiha back..if we can't.." Jiraiya's voice trailed off. Naruto already knew what would happen if Sasuke wasn't taken back. Naruto got up from where he was kneeling down and began to walk back towards the Village Center. Bodies were scattered everywhere Leaf-nin and Sound-nin combined. Some Stone nins were lying here and there.
Orochimaru had captured Sasuke and escaped with a torn off arm and a few major burns. Naruto had really caused Ororchimaru some major damage.
Orochimaru was cursing as he winced in pain. ' Damn that Kyuubi brat! That technique tore off my arm!! Now i only have on arm and It will take months even years to regrow this arm. once again someone has stolen my jutsus from me!' Ororchimaru raged on as he waited for the rest of his troops to return back and perhaps Kabuto would come and heal him. unknown to him Kabuto was still in the Leaf village.
Kabuto was pinned on the wall by a huge hand made out of sand. Gaara had captured Kabuto who was trying to escape the battle earlier. ANBU had arrived to bring Kabuto in which Gaara gratefully handed over the spy. "He has lost the use of his arms" Gaara said calmly as he started to walk towards the Tower for any further instructions.
The INOSHIKACHO teams helped contribute in the battle while the Hyuuga's wasted the Sound-nins in the front gate. The Aburame clan had helped the Inuzuka Clan in wiping out those Nins that entered the village.
Tsunade was abit happy since minimal loss and damage happend to the village. The lost of Sasuke to the enemy still was a big blow to their forces. Tsunade wanted to immediately dispatched some nins to recapture Sasuke but now was not the time.
Orochimaru was enraged when he found out that Kabuto was captured. Now he had to wait for a year for his whole arm to regrow. He was an idiot when It came to healing jutsus the only thing that Orochimaru failed at. Orochimaru placed Sasuke in a secure cell where the Uchiha won't be able to escape. Orochimaru will have to place a brainwashing jutsu on the Uchiha survivor for the boy to be in his control. He needed to contact Serpentor again and demand more power and to heal him but with out both arms to perform the summoning jutsu he could not do it.
Naruto meanwhile requested that he go obliterate the Sound Village and bring Sasuke back but Tsunade denied him the permission because they had to fix the village first and gather their forces. "Don't worry Naruto Ororchimaru can't do any jutsus with the way you tore off his arm It will take him a year to regain that arm unless he has a medic which i doubt since we have his righthand man" Tsunade said , her gaze only on Naruto who still hasnt changed his clothes.
Naruto gave a sigh in defeat and said "Fine I'll go change and begin training. I know that Orochimaru won't rest until he gets Sasuke's body." Naruto said as he teleported out of Tsunade's office . Tsunade gave a sigh of relief and went back to work , Jiraiya meanwhile just stood leaning against a wall waiting for Tsunade to speak.
"Go with Naruto Jiraiya..Finish his training....We don;t have time" Tsunade ordered not taking her eyes off the papers. Jiraiya just nodded and followed Naruto towards the teen's house.
