Chapter 3

"End Of Jounin Exams...You Are Promoted Too..?"

Fifteen Shinobi varying from different countries stood before the Hokage of Konoha, Mizukage of Mist, and the Kazekage of Suna. Most of the fifteen going all out to get here, everyone was amazed at the results of the Jounin Exam thus far. The second exam was testing to see your mental stability and abilities in creating strategies. Ibiki was currently standing in front of the Age's explaining the Second Exam.

"You all will be given a team of three. You will do this course twice, each time a the Chuunin taking the exam will be either stuck for a duration of time until the course time ends with me in an interrogation room, and then you will also do it again to rescue the member from interrogation. The Chuunin stuck in the interrogation room with me will be there until his teammates rescue him; he must resist at all costs revealing anything about himself or teammates during the task. During the second run you must take a strategically plan of the rescue, you will have to gather information, and rescue your teammate before he breaks; you are to do anything it takes to make sure the person does not tell anything. Now the team of three you will be given are all consisting of Jounin's from your home country so you can trust them. Each Chuunin will have command of the Jounin's for the duration of this exercise, is that understood?" Ibiki explained loudly.

"HAI!" all of the Shinobi chorused.

"Very good, then the first Chuunin to take it will be, the Sound Nin." Ibiki stated staring at the Nin. "Seeing how you're going first you have to choose, with me first or rescuing first?" Ibiki asked.

"I'll be interrogated first" the Oto-nin said confidently.

The exam took place in the forest of death, where the Chuunin and their team would start at the gates and have to make their way to the tower to rescue their partner, Konoha, Sand and Mist Jounins were positioned throughout the area to try and capture the team to prevent them from making it to the tower, in the Tower the audience was aloud to stand along the balcony and witness Ibiki's crude torture and interrogation methods while also on a large screen watch the Nins make their way through the forest.

The test continued as the Oto Nin had held off for the duration just barley, he was given fifteen minutes to recover from the mental strain put on him from Ibiki, during the rescue the Oto-nin found that he had lost contact with all his team so he moved in and killed the Jounin from sound. People in the crowd were protesting but Ibiki said "You must do anything preventing them from using information".

He was clear and that was the end of it. Three of the Konoha Chuunin Participating passed rescuing and being rescued successfully, one of them failed and the last: Akuma Enja, had not done his yet;

Sound had passed though killing his teammate;

Grass had two Nins one failed due to getting breaking during the interrogation as the other passed;

Sand Had three Nins, all of them passed. The Sand seemed to have been very good at withholding information and strategically strong;

Clouds two Nins failed, after protesting about bias judging the Nins were thrown out by the Konoha ANBU;

Stones one Nin passed though he was extremely good at withstanding torture he seemed to just slip by rescuing;

Snow had one Nin who passed with flying colors;

"Final Shinobi to take the second exam…Akuma Enja!" Ibiki yelled out as everyone in the crowd seemed to now pay very close attention even the people from other countries.

"Choose" Ibiki said simply as he stared into Akuma's eyes fiercely.

"I'll go with you first" Akuma said stoically, Ibiki smirked.

"Good, I was hoping you would, I have been holding off just waiting for you" Ibiki said with a sadistic smirk. "Your Jounin Three Man Team will be, Hatake Kakashi, Yuuhi Kurenai, and Maito Gai." Ibiki said blankly. "Please remove your cloak and take a seat" Ibiki said with a hint of excitement in his voice. Akuma sat down in the chair after removing his cloak with his facial expression not changing.

"Very good" Ibiki said as he then locked Akuma's ankles and wrists and even neck to the chair with chairs. He pulled them all tight as Akuma still didn't show any notice. Ibiki pulled the white cloth of the table revealing numerous torture items: scalpels, screws, there was even a candles with numerous needles leaning against in into the flame. The list carries on; Ibiki looked to Akuma as he picked up one of the needles carefully.

"What Country do you work for?" Ibiki asked blankly. Akuma said nothing as he just stared forward. "Ill Ask again, What Country do you work for?" this time Ibiki said it in a more demanding tone. Akuma said nothing; Ibiki then slowly took the glowing orange end of the needle and pressed it against Akuma's skin, Akuma's eye twitch as suddenly Ibiki grabbed a hammer and slammed the needle into Akuma's flesh, the needle went down until it hit the arm of the chair as now barley any of the needle was seen visible, Akuma's arm tightened as if flexing but he said nothing.

"Fine, well have more fun" and So Ibiki continued to question Akuma to no avail and Akuma began to find more needles in his flesh, which was until Ibiki loosened the chains and picked up Akuma by the throat and threw him to the wall and tied his arms in restraints against it so his back was facing Ibiki. Ibiki ripped the back of Akuma's shirt off reveal more summoning tattoos, Ibiki ignored it as he then grabbed a large whip with a dagger at the end, like wise the daggers tip was glowing orange as it was previously in an open flame.

"Your Name, Rank, and Country!" Ibiki bellowed loudly in a large demanding tone. Akuma said nothing but was beginning to prepare for the harshest torture anyone had received yet. Everyone in the crowd was becoming worried; Ibiki so it seemed had went easy on the other contestants. "No? Fine, ONE!" Ibiki cried as he cracked the Whip Dagger against Akuma's bare back, a large bleeding cut now went from one end of Akuma's back to the other.

"TWO!" Again Ibiki made another slash mark across Akuma's back, Akuma was now struggling to keep in the pain, as everyone in the audience was disgusted at what Ibiki was doing. Apparently Ibiki had gone about ten times easy on the other contestants. The rookie nin were all watching in awe as they saw the Chuunin not make a sound, the Kage's also were impressed.

"THREE!" Again another whip mark. "NAME, RANK, AND COUNTRY!" Ibiki bellowed. Again Akuma said nothing but he was breathing heavily as the sharp pains were also burning along his back.

"FOUR!" again another Whip mark.

"FIVE!" another whip mark, but suddenly three small black balls fell down and exploded covering the area in a large purple smoke, Akuma closed his eyes before the smoke began to burn as he felt his restraints get loosened and he felt himself being thrown over someone's shoulder. Then all he felt was the cool night air on his back for about a minute where he was then put down, he was now behind a tree staring up at Maito Gai.

"Thanks Gai" Akuma said through gritted teeth, he then saw Kurenai appear beside them then Kakashi.

"Ok I put on a Genjutsu so you can rest for a little while, what did you tell them?" Kurenai asked.

"Nothing" Akuma said through gritted teeth as he was now feeling the burning in his back. "If anyone here knows a healing jutsu now would be the time to use it" Akuma said as he stared at them.

"I know one" Kakashi said as he quickly flipped through seals and his hands started to glow green, Akuma turned to let Kakashi at the cuts on his back.

"Kurenai I need you to remove the Needles" Akuma said as he started to feel the stinging go away in his back. Kurenai did what she was told as she carefully removed the needles. Kakashi then healed up the small holes.

"Wow, Ibiki said he was holding off to go hard on you I guess he really did" Kakashi said with a slight chuckle.

"Now once we go back to the Tower we can start the second part." Kakashi said with his tone going serious. "lets go" he said as then the group disappeared in puff of smoke.

Tower

Five minutes after the smoke cleared the audience saw Akuma and the rest of his team walk through the doors and into the main room where he was being interrogated, medical Nins quickly checking his previous wounds. They left him alone after finding none. Akuma looked to Ibiki who only nodded in recognition. He picked up his stuff and put on his equipment as he turned back to the team.

"You will choose who is to be interrogated" Ibiki called across the floor. Akuma looked to his team.

'I need Gai for his Speed, Kakashi and his Sharingan could help me but so could Kurenai's genjutsu, and I don't want to put her in that position. Mentally I think Kakashi would be the middle where Kurenai would be the strongest...' Akuma thought to himself, he finally rested his gaze on Kurenai.

"You up for it?" he asked worry clear in his voice.

"Yea I'm fine" she said with a little blush. Akuma turned around to glare at Ibiki.

"Kurenai will do it" he said sternly, almost daring Ibiki to hurt her. Ibiki smiled sadistically.

'Though he knows it will hurt him and hamper him he realizes she is the strongest mentally, and he also realizes he needs Gai's and Kakashi's speed and tactics.' Ibiki though to himself as Kurenai took a seat in the chair he sealed her restraints as Kakashi and Gai disappeared in a puff of smoke; Akuma gave him one last glare as he too disappeared. Ibiki turned around to look at the crowd.

"BEGIN!" He yelled as then he turned around to grin sadistically at Kurenai.

At Gate 11

"Ok so what's the plan?" Kakashi asked as he and Gai looked to Akuma questionably.

"Alright, the forest is filled with Mist, Sand and Leaf Jounins so I'm going to have to depend largely on you guys. I'm going to make clones of you that will follow me and then when I'm in the middle of the forest I'll make a large chakra pulse so that everyone in the forest can feel it, when you guys feel it boot it to the tower, I may have been able to draw the Jounins to my position and their may still be some lingering behind so you guys will have to be alert, meet at the tree where you guys brought me and ill meet you there, don't worry I got an idea of how to get away from the Jounins and I wont be followed so don't worry." Akuma said as he quickly laid down his plan. "Any objections?" neither Kakashi nor Gai said anything Akuma nodded as he created a cross seal and two clones of him popped up beside him in a poof of smoke.

"Henge" they both said and turned into Gai and Kakashi.

"Their Chakra reinforced so their stronger and I also have a couple surprises inside them" Akuma said grinning. "Alright wait here till you feel the pulse" Akuma said as he and the two clones leaped off into the forest at a blinding speed.

"Did we tell him you're not allowed to kill the Jounins?" Gai asked.

"Uh, I don't think so" Kakashi said as he pulled out his orange book beginning to read.

Somewhere In the Forest Of Death

"Alright you guys are ready right?" Akuma looked to 'Kakashi' and 'Gai'. They both nodded. Akuma created the tiger seal and then looked around.

"CHAKRA PULSE!" he yelled as then a large ring of chakra shot throughout the entire forest. Akuma then began to feel numerous strong targets coming towards them.

"Start setting up traps" Akuma said as 'Gai' and 'Kakashi' began to do what they were told. Not ten minutes after Akuma said that just after 'Kakashi', 'Gai' and Akuma regrouped in the center what seemed like a small clearing did they feel the presence of about Seventy-five shinobi.

"Give up you've failed this exam you have no choice but to surrender no matter how good you are you cant escape from all of us" one of the Leaf-nin said confidently.

"I wouldn't dream of it, NOW!" Akuma yelled as he suddenly cut a string and the three Shinobi flew threw hand seals.

"Wait…GAI DOSENT USE JUTSU'S HES A FAKE!" one Leaf-nin yelled loudly as the cut string suddenly led to hundreds of kunai going off where every Nin began to dodge and weave around them. Once the group were finished their handseals they quickly yelled.

"KIRIGAKURE NO JUTSU!" Akuma yelled as a heavy mist began to sink in filling the entire surrounding area for a hundred feet filled with heavy fog.

"KATON: GOUKAKYUU NO JUTSU!" 'Kakashi' yelled as he sent his attack directed into the group of Shinobi, some burned but most of them got out of the way. That's when 'Gai' aimed his technique to where some shinobi leaped away too.

"SUITON: SUIKOUDAN NO JUTSU!" 'Gai' yelled as some of the mist became less dense and a large shark made of water was sent flying towards the shinobi some of them being sent back into trees with a large thud. That's when the kunai's flew, there were too many to dodge as 'Kakashi', 'Gai' and Akuma all were hit with who knows how many kunai. As each of them fell to the ground blood slowly forming down their mouth as the mist faded away. One of the Leaf-nins came up to check the Shinobi lying in the middle of the field. 'Kakashi' and 'Gai' weren't moving as blood rolled down their cheeks and from their gaping wounds onto the ground, the Nin then heard a mixture of laughing and coughing as he walked over to Akuma. He looked down to see Akuma laughing and coughing up blood as he was slowly dieing.

"Surprise" he laughed as then 'Akuma', 'Kakashi', and 'Gai' disappeared in a cloud of smoke leaving three large boxes filled with Kunai, Shuriken and about a hundred now sizzling Explosion notes.

"COVER!" the Leaf-nin said as he quickly leapt away and hit the ground as the explosion notes went off sending the barrage of Kunai and Shuriken flying through the air in all directions. After about a minute of groaning and some of the Shinobi getting up from the large barrage they heard more sizzling. They all turned to see the Kunai's that were launched all had explosion tags now sizzling. They picked up their injured and all of them quickly disappeared in a puff of smoke as hundreds of explosions were heard throughout the forest.

Tree Beside The tower

"Umm…I guess we didn't tell him that he wasn't supposed to kill" Kakashi said while scratching the back of his head. Gai sweat dropped as suddenly the two whipped around seeing Akuma standing their with a grin on his face.

"It would have helped if I knew not to kill, I don't think I killed any but I know a lot of them are going to be pissed and are going to need medical attention." Akuma said with a soft chuckle.

"Anyways that took up not a lot of time but we still need to rescue Kurenai, so what's the plan?" Kakashi asked quickly.

"Ok, Gai I'm goanna be focusing this on your speed and Kakashi's Sharingan, I'm going to try and keep you too out of as much danger as possible. So I'm going to use Kirigakure no Jutsu and have the mist there, you and Kakashi will move in and grab Kurenai, when you get the signal I will have released her from her restraints by then and distracted Ibiki enough that you guys can get away. If I'm not at this point twenty seconds after your out leave without me and ill make sure he can't get any information from me." Akuma said seriously. Both Gai and Kakashi nodded as they leaped into the tall tree's branches and the onto the top of the tower, two Jounin's were standing look out along the balcony as Gai dropped down and knocked both of them out before either could alert anyone. Kakashi and Gai proceeded through the balcony and awaited on the roof of the stadium without anyone noticing them, they stood their looking down attached to the roof with Chakra on their feet.

Ibiki apparently had ignored physical pain and for the five minutes that the test had taken place so far he had been attempting a mind Jutsu to break down Kurenai's mental defenses, so far both Ibiki and Kurenai were sweating quiet a lot. Suddenly Ibiki moved as a Kunai flew past him. Ibiki quickly grabbed the whip with the searing hot dagger at the end and prepared for Akuma, Akuma took out four kunai and quickly whipped them at Ibiki, Ibiki dodged easily. Ibiki then saw what Akuma was hoping he wouldn't; he saw that the Kunai that flew at him at cut the chains restraining Kurenai releasing her, suddenly Ibiki saw Akuma fly threw hand seals.

"KIRIGAKURE NO JUTSU!" Akuma yelled as heavy fog filled in the area blinding everyone from seeing the arena. Suddenly the mist disappears and only Ibiki stood their holding his whip. Everything giving any idea those Konoha-nins were there was gone, Ibiki smiled as he saw the Kage's stand up from their seat.

"He Passed, and for the rescue in record time" The Hokage said.

"He's quiet good but I have not seen him before how long has he been here?" The Mizukage asked.

"A little under two months" the Hokage answered.

"Interesting" The Kazekage Gaara answered.

"Ibiki call him back and tell him he's passed.

"Hai" Ibiki answered as he then moved a microphone from his ear piece down to his mouth.

"Akuma Enja and your Jounin team please return to the tower to await your results." Ibiki said, Ibiki's voice echoed throughout the entire arena and forest.

After about five minutes Gai, Kurenai, Kakashi and Akuma appeared in a puff of smoke. They all stood their not saying anything awaiting the verdict.

"In 5 minutes and 34 seconds you rescued your teammate their fore making a new Jounin rescue record." The Hokage announced.

"You Also Did Exceptionally well at lasting during a live interrogation though that could have lasted a lot longer before a teammate could rescue you" the Kazekage said.

"Therefore we have concluded that you Akuma Enja will…." The Mizukage started.

"Pass" all three Kages said at once. Akuma smiled as he hugged Kurenai all of a sudden, after realizing what he did he let Kurenai down both of them blushing.

"Good Job Akuma" Kakashi said with a smile.

"YOU LET THE PASSION OF YOUTH GIDE YOU TO VICTORY!" Gai yelled giving Akuma a thumbs up.

"Couldn't have done it without you three" Akuma said as suddenly the Hokage coughed again.

"The Final Exam will be to test your abilities, in Genjutsu, Taijutsu, and Ninjutsu and to test your bloodline techniques" The Hokage said aloud her voice caring throughout the arena.

"Please divide amongst yourselves into your proper countries, Each Kage will be your judge as we go around looking at everyone, with your Jounin team you were assigned in the Second Part of the exam you're to test out all your Ninjutsus, Taijutsus, and Genjutsus skills." The Kazekage explained. Everyone did as they were told quickly organizing into their proper countries, and so each person began practicing on their Jounin team as the Kage's came around everyone getting one solider pill to regenerate any Chakra or health lost from the previous Exams.

Snow's Shinobi passed showing quiet a verity of Jutsu's surprisingly as he also showed a unique bloodline ability to be able to create snow from anything that had certain components;

Stone failed showing that he only knew Doton Jutsu's and not even one single Genjutsu technique;

Two of the Three Konoha Nins passed as one of them was not able to keep up in Taijutsu;

The One Sound Nin is currently being guessed about, as he showed some advanced jutsu's but his Taijutsu was kind of lacking;

The One Grass Nin failed as he showed he knew only low level Chuunin Jutsu's and his Taijutsu was very low; Finally the Kage's made their way over to Akuma who was pleasantly chatting with his group of Jounin's.

"Hahemp" the Mizukage coughed.

"Oh Hello Hokage-sama, Mizukage-sama, Kazekage-sama" Akuma said bowing.

"Now we know you have quiet a various amount of Jutsu's but would you mind showings us your strongest summon? As the Hokage here has been talking about you for quiet some time, I imagine it will be your fox tattoo correct?" The Mizukage asked curiously as he stared at Akuma stoically.

"I take it you saw that summoning tattoo during my interrogation Mizukage-sama?" Akuma asked a kind of disgust in his voice.

"Hai, I did" Mizukage said with a pleasant tone.

"Well you said strongest correct?" Akuma asked.

"Hai, if you would be so kind as to show us your strongest summon" The Kazekage said with interest in his voice.

"Fine, please stand back everyone in about a forty foot radius" Akuma said aloud as he removed his shirt, he looked around to see everyone clear from him. Akuma sighed, he looked up to the roof.

"OHI! The roof isn't big enough" Akuma said loudly.

"Don't worry about it, it can be fixed" the Hokage said, clearly interested. Akuma sighed and mumbled something. He then bit his thumb and quickly flipped through hand seals as he slid his bleeding thumb over the largest tattoo in the middle of his chest and then ended by slamming his hand onto the ground.

"KUCHIYOSE NO JUTSU: DORAGON!" Akuma shouted loudly as suddenly a large puff of smoke was seen and people heard the roof break apart and slowly began to crumble. Then everyone heard the large flapping of heavy wings, and what sounded like a tail that who knows weighed how much, but it sounded really heavy. As the smoke cleared everyone looked up to see a large black dragon, his black scales were gleaming as his tail had razor sharp spikes leading up the tail and along the sides of the dragons back, its large wings looked ferocious as well but the webbing looked to be made of extremely strong and durable velvet or silk, the large dragon had razor sharp teeth and his eyes were yellow. It's eyes shifted around as everyone in the room shuddered at the killing intent radiating off this creature, and from the feeling of its Chakra capacity had way to much, even the Kage's were awed at the size of the thing.

"What have you summoned me for Akuma?" Konran said loudly. Akuma bowed to the great beast.

"Konran-sama I have summoned you to show the shinobi of Konoha that I am worthy of becoming a Jounin and so they have asked me for my strongest summon, and naturally you would be my choice". The great beast's cold yellow eyes shifted around then focusing on the Kage's, the Kage's flinched feeling the killing intent radiating off the beast.

"Very well, but I will leave now if you have nothing to kill," Konran said as he then disappeared in a puff of smoke, letting the rest of the roof fall in and onto the arena floor.

"..What power" the Hokage managed to get out as she looked to Akuma who was yawning.

"Do I pass?" Akuma asked lazily, the Kage's merely nodded at such a spectacle.

"Anyways…um…yes, anyways, will everyone please form in front of us" The Kage's announced as they stood in front of all the shinobi, the Nins bowed respectfully and stood at attention.

"As of know, you all have received the Jounin Rank, you have shown that you posses the necessary skills to become a Jounin and to receive the Jounin name" The Hokage said with proud ness in her voice.

"Now If You Will Please step forward to receive your respective Jounin vest" The Kazekage said stoically. Slowly one by one each new Jounin stood forward receiving their vests, one by one Akuma finally stepped forward to receive his Konoha Jounin vest.

"Akuma if you would see me in my office after you are dismissed" The Hokage said staring at Akuma, her eyes held a little joy or proud ness or something that was hard to distinguish. Akuma stepped back and stood at attention with the other newly ranked Jounin.

"Dismissed" The Mizukage said staring at all of the Jounin. Each Jounin then bowed again and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Hokage's Office

Akuma stood in the office at attention with his new Jounin vest wearing it proudly, Tsunade sat at her desk staring over a mound of paperwork at the New Jounin as the ANBU captain stood beside Tsunade.

"You Know Akuma, you never did tell me how you knew Jiraiya." Tsunade said with a curious look on her face.

'Shit, Kurenai must have told her what I said during the mission' Akuma shuddered as he remembered what happened.

Flash Back

Kurenai had been held back most of the way to the clearing from beating the crap out of Akuma and Kakashi, they both were walking smiling happily back toward Konoha when suddenly it was time to stop.

"Can we get something to eat?" Naruto groaned for the umpteenth time.

"FINE! Kiba, Shino go get something to eat" Akuma said annoyed. Kakashi turned to look at Akuma.

"Aren't Kiba and Shino holding back Kurenai…?" Kakashi trailed off as he and Akuma turned around preparing for the worst and they saw it as Kurenai was standing behind them with a kunai in hand. Both Kakashi and Akuma sweat dropped and gulped heavily as they quickly turned around to run away when suddenly Kurenai grabbed hold of them both from the collar. After that the beating was just quiet a big blur.

End Flashback

Tsunade coughed catching Akuma's attention back to her. She raised her eyebrows and Akuma decided to tell her.

"I met Jiraiya-sama during a journey I was on, he was actually the one that told me I should come here, and he was fighting four Nins from the Akatsuki. So I helped out and together we were able to fend off the Nins and they retreated. He had explained to me why they had attacked him and where he was from, and when he said Konoha I asked how it was faring from the Kyuubi attack, he said it was just fine since it was destroyed. But something didn't seem right so I decided to follow up on it and came to Konoha, and you know what happened from there" Akuma said as he told Tsunade what had happened. She stared at him for a moment before looking down to a couple of papers then she looked to the ANBU captain, he merely nodded. The ANBU commander stood forward.

"You will be advanced to the rank of ANBU for the time being until you are able to take a squad of Genin's after the next Genin Exam and if they fail to pass you will be put back as your ANBU status... You will be given your uniform and you will choose three members to form your squad, all three must be approved by me. Understood?" the Captain asked.

"Hai" Akuma merely nodded as he followed the ANBU captain out of the room. The doors closed and Tsunade sighed.

"after this announcement I'm curious to see how the village looks at Naruto, if he is hurt, I fear that Akuma will take him from Konoha, though it would probably be for the best they would be labeled as Missin-nins, both of them would be labeled S-class Missin-nins actually." Tsunade sighed as she turned her chair around to look out the window.

"What would you do Sarutobi?" Tsunade asked to no one.

Unknown Armory

"Grab your uniform and mask, from now on no one is to know your identity as an ANBU, your squad will be an assassination squad due to the fact of your silent killing abilities. Understood?" The White robed ANBU asked.

"Hai" Akuma nodded in understanding as he took a regular ANBU uniform, he looked through the masks and found a bird mask to his liking. He removed his gear and quickly armed himself.

"Please keep your top uniform off for now as you will have to choose a tattoo for your ANBU squad." The Commander said, Akuma nodded as he attached his Katana from his old gear to his left side and his kunai pouch on his right leg. He stood up and pulled around a black cloak around himself as he then quickly threw his old assemble into the incinerator burning the gear.

"That way no one can be sure who you are, follow me to the tattoo artist." The Commander said leading Akuma to the parlor. Akuma sat down in the chair and showed the tattoo artist the design; it was a dragon slithering around a black crystal.

"Alright hold still" and slowly the tattoo artist took a scolding hot kunai and began to design, Akuma held in the pain as he felt the searing hot kunai against his skin. Finally after 15 minutes the artist was done, and quiet well as a matter of fact.

"Now go and assemble your squad of three more." The ANBU commander said. "Bring them back here to get the same tattoo" he finished as he disappeared in a puff of smoke. Akuma let the burning pain dissipate before he threw on his ANBU flack jacket and black mesh shirt under it. He turned around and pulled his heavy weighted black cloak around himself and put its hood up, he put his bird mask on that covered up whatever was left of anything showing it was him except his tattoos all over his body. Suddenly Akuma then disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Anko's Apartment

Anko heard a knock at her apartment door as she slowly got up from her seat; she lazily pulled out a kunai and opened the door to see an ANBU member standing there.

"Mitarashi Anko, are you interested in becoming a member of an ANBU assassination squad?" the ANBU with the bird mask asked with a monotone voice. Anko's eyebrow raised, no one around Konoha trusted her seeing how she had been Orochimaru's apprentice. Then it clicked. She smiled evilly as she jumped up wrapping her legs around the ANBU's waist and arms around the ANBU's neck.

"Oh, is Akuma Enja going to pick lil ol' me for his ANBU squad?" Anko said pushing herself back to look into the eye slits of the mask. She heard the man sigh and removed his mask revealing Akuma. She smiled evilly.

"Well I suppose, as long as I can spend time harassing you" Anko said while smirking.

"You're going to be the death of me Anko" Akuma said lazily. "Report to the Ninja Monument in half an hour" Akuma said as Anko jumped off him and let herself down onto the ground, Akuma put his mask back on and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Small Restaurant

"Damn this food is good Izumo" Iwashi said while chewing on some sushi.

"Remind me again why I keep making bets with you?" Izumo said sadly as this was the third time this month he had to pay for both their food.

"I warned you about that Akuma guy Izumo, but no you wanted to get cocky and think I didn't know what I was talking about" Iwashi said grinning gleefully as he ate some more sushi.

"You really are a …" Izumo started but was soon cut off when both of them saw an ANBU member with a bird mask appear in a puff of smoke beside them.

"Kamizuki Izumo, and Tatami Iwashi, report to the Ninja Monument in ten minutes" and with that the ANBU with the bird mask left Iwashi pulled the chopsticks out of his mouth.

"You see what I saw?" he asked Izumo.

"You mean the same Katana Akuma Enja killed that sound-nin in the Jounin exams with was on his side?" Izumo said curious.

"No, I mean that" Iwashi said excitedly as he pointed to a dish that said 'Buy 2 Bowls of Sushi and Get the Third HALF PRICE!', Izumo sighed.

"Were going to be late" He said lazily.

Ninja Monument twenty minutes later

"Good you're all here" the ANBU member with the bird mask said as he looked at the three people in front of him. Izumo and Iwashi looked a bit scared to see Anko here as they then turned back to look at the Bird masked ANBU. He removed his mask and lowered his hood revealing Akuma Enja.

"As of this moment you are all part of my squad, second in command will be Anko, and third will be Izumo. I have selected you three because you all have some experience in some sort of silent killing. I chose you because of our squad, it is going to be an assassination squad, and though as long as the mission is complete it is ok by Konoha standards, if the people get in so much as a word out then I will put you all through the harshest training you can possibly imagine understood?" Akuma said sternly.

"Hai" the three Jounins answered. Akuma sighed this was going to be a lot of trouble, he looked to the three and then flipped through some one handed seals he slammed his hand onto the ground as a large black dome encircled the four ninjas. The Ninjas looked around then looked to Akuma for an explanation.

"You are all in this dome for one reason, being apart of my team means we can trust each other, now I'm going to inform you of something no one else is allowed to know." Akuma said sternly as he pulled out a black forehead protector, with it was scribed with the Kanji of 'Shadow' with a large scratch through the middle of it.

"This village was where I was before coming to Konoha, you are to tell no one of this and I was not even supposed to tell you of this but I am because you're my team and we may encounter Nins from this village. They are known as the Hidden Shadow Village, weather you wish to believe it or not they are stronger then Sound and their Sakage could going full out defeat the leader of the Akatsuki, they are a village that has existed since the dawn of the Ninja villages, it is the first and last Ninja village that will exists. They do missions for themselves only, they will destroy villages and countries that have become too overpopulated or too powerful for their liking, and they are the scale to keep balance in the order of the world.

They kill without any emotion as they believe compassion leads to a weakness that ultimately leads to death, Shadow Village is not to be trifled with a single Jounin from Shadow Village could take down three of Konoha's. I want you to know if you ever see this symbol, run don't look back, just run because if they find out you know then they will hunt you down." Akuma said in all serious in his tone. Not once did his dead serious tone fade, it stated strong making sure to get the point across, everyone in the dome nodded as suddenly the dome released it self as Akuma put away the head protector.

"Very good, now go report to the ANBU designer to get your tattoos and equipment." Akuma said gleefully. Izumo and Iwashi stared in confusion while Anko just smiled sadistically. The three Nins disappeared in a puff of smoke as Akuma smiled.

"I think its about time to check in on Naruto-kun" Akuma said gleefully as he disappeared in puff of smoke.

Training Field 8

Shikamaru lay lazily on the ground staring up at the clouds when he heard a "poof" beside him. He yawned and sat up looking to the ANBU member with the bird mask standing their staring at him.

"Hai?" Shikamaru asked lazily.

"How has Naruto-kun been doing Shikamaru-san" The ANBU said, Shikamaru recognized the voice.

"He has done quiet well, he is very good at strategy once I found something he could relate it too. And once I threatened him about telling you to restrict him eating Ramen for a month if he didn't calm down he did pretty quickly." Shikamaru said with a laugh at the memory.

"I see, very well thank you Shikamaru" the ANBU said. He pulled out a pouch and jingled it and threw it over to Shikamaru.

"Hmm? I though you were paying me?" Shikamaru said looking into the small pouch to see it filled with gold pieces. Shikamaru's eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets but as he looked back up the ANBU was gone.

Training Field 10

Lee was currently climbing trees with his chakra, the ANBU watched him from the bushes.

"107…108…109…110" Lee counted as he finally reached 110 he stopped and sat down on the ground exhausted.

"I see your coming along quiet well Lee" said the ANBU from behind Lee. Lee turned around quickly to see the ANBU with a bird mask.

"Who are you?" Lee asked curiously.

"It's me…Akuma" Akuma said lazily. Lee laughed.

"Oh, its you, Naruto-kun is coming along great, we gave him more weights and by the looks of it you were adding more weight with your chakra from wherever you were weren't you?" Lee said excitedly.

"I see thank you very much for helping him, is he used to his speed by now?" Akuma asked.

"Yes he's the same weight I am at maybe a bit more" Lee said with a laugh.

"I see, well once again thank you and if you need more help on that technique I showed you just come ask" Akuma said as he disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Training Field 7

"YOU BAKA WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING!" Sasuke roared, the ANBU sat in the bushes watching Sasuke and Naruto laying in a heap in the middle of the clearing, Sakura was hidden on the other side of the field in the trees and Kakashi was standing their reading his Icha Icha book, as he had just recently spared against the two shinobi laying on the ground. Akuma smiled.

'Good the training with Shikamaru did pay off, he's not showing his real capabilities, and he's holding back that hens even faster and stronger then Sasuke I honestly thought he would've tried to rub it in his face.' Akuma thought to himself while watching the group. Suddenly Kakashi disappeared in puff of smoke and reappeared beside him.

"Hello again, made ANBU did we Akuma?" Kakashi said with a small chuckle.

"Hai, you want to put on a real good spar for your little ninjas?" Akuma said his mask hiding his evil grin. Kakashi smiled.

"Hai, Hai, this will be fun" Kakashi said as he then disappeared in puff of smoke. Akuma's hands formed the seal of the ram as just mumbled.

"Henge No Jutsu" and suddenly a poof of smoke formed around him and he was now a large man wearing an all brown uniform, his hitate had the Kanji of Stone on it. He looked down on the ground as all three Genin's were standing in front of Kakashi who was speaking. Akuma jumped onto the ground and slowly moved forward into the bushes.

"So We have received word that Stone has been doing large operations and that apparently spies have been caught in the other countries, this leads us only to believe that the Stone has a spy in Konoha. We have been ordered to fish him out and capture him for interrogation." Kakashi said with seriousness in his voice. "This mission is a high ranked B rank mission. The spy is rumored to be at least Jounin level, so we must be very cautious". Kakashi looked to his group to see if they understood.

"YATTA! A MISSION WHOOP!" Naruto yelled jumping into the air pumping his fist into the air, Akuma sighed.

'I actually wonder if he's acting' Akuma thought to himself.

"Hmph" Sasuke just smirked.

"BAKA SHUT UP!" Sakura yelled punching Naruto on the head. Kakashi sighed as then Akuma started flipping through fast hand seals. He ended it with horse and then slammed his hands onto the ground.

"Donton: Yomi Numa No Jutsu" Akuma said quietly as suddenly a large swamp with brown water started to form under the group of shinobi. Akuma leaped out drawing four kunai and threw them at the Genins, the Genins tried to dodge but suddenly they all got hit. Akuma smiled as he landed onto a tree branch suddenly Akuma saw Kakashi move forward and attack but as Kakashi went to punch Akuma ducked down and flick his wrist two kunai flying out from his sleeves as he then pushed forward and drove them through Kakashi's throat. Akuma waited for a minute then heard a poof and saw his kunai's embedded into a log, he dropped the kunai's having the log fall to the ground and looked to see the previous Genins were also logs.

"Kai" Akuma said roughly as the swamp disappeared. Akuma looked around to see nothing but the empty forest so far, he heard the birds chirping and he saw the clouds in the sky when suddenly something kicked in.

"Damnit, Genjutsu" Akuma said as he formed his hands and dispelled it. He opened his eyes to see Naruto standing in front of him with a Rasengan in hand waiting to be embedded into his stomach, Sakura standing farther back smiling, and Sasuke and Kakashi to his left and right with Kunai's at his neck.

"Kuso" Akuma said. "Good try though" Akuma grinned as he disappeared in a puff of smoke. The group stared in awe when suddenly Kakashi whipped his kunai at Sasuke hitting him in the arm he flew forward and kneed Sasuke in the gut then spun around and delivered a kick sending him flying and into Sakura.

"SASUKE-KUN!" Sakura cried as she checked over Sasuke. Naruto growled harshly.

"What Did You Do That For Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto said staring at Kakashi confusingly. Kakashi stood still staring at Naruto.

"What You Actually Think I would stay here in Konoha? It is foolish to stay in a village filled with no good talent like you. Sasuke decided he wanted to leave to find power he hurt his friends and didn't care about them and he put himself above everything else, to me HE IS WORSE THAN TRASH! Sakura merely pays attention to her precious Sasuke-kun… when she should help you Naruto she cares about that piece of shit lying on the ground. Naruto you are the only one here actually worth training, come with me, that way I can take you to a village where you will be accepted, and where you will have actual teammates." Kakashi said venom in his voice. Naruto seemed to not move an inch, as his emotions stayed the same.

"NEVER!" Naruto screamed as he ran forward attacking Kakashi, Kakashi moved and twisted Naruto's arm behind his back, he tripped him and pushed him into the ground.

"Don't you remember, how Sakura didn't even say thank you for bringing her precious back? Sasuke actually said he hated you for bringing him back, don't you remember the cold stares these villagers give you every day…don't you want revenge?" Kakashi whispered into Naruto's ear as he released his grip and back up. Naruto began contemplating.

'He's right why should I protect a village that doesn't care about me? I mean why I shouldn't just kill everyone here, if I went with Kakashi, he could teach me' Naruto thought to himself. Naruto slowly got up.

"Ill come" Naruto answered roughly. Kakashi smiled his attitude changing completely.

"Ahh Good! Alright kill them so we can cover our tracks out of this dump" Kakashi said grinning. Naruto began walking over to Sakura cradling a broken Sasuke, Naruto grinned as he pulled two Kunai from his pouch. He stared sadistically at Sakura who stared up at him in horror.

"Die Bitch" Naruto spoke with venom as he then raised both kunai into the air and pulled them down, suddenly Naruto spun around and jabbed Kakashi in the heart, Naruto pushed in with all his might as suddenly Kakashi poofed into a cloud of smoke.

"Very Good team" Kakashi said appearing in a puff of smoke, beside him stood Akuma wearing ANBU gear with his mask in his hand. They were both smiling.

"You showed your abilities well out and you showed your loyalty to Konoha" Akuma said with glee in his voice.

"Now we will treat you all to dinner" Kakashi said with a prideful grin. The group began walking but Akuma stuck out his hand stopping Naruto from going. Once the group was out of hearing ranger Akuma turned back to face Naruto.

"Good job Naruto, both your teachers told me you have done well so far, and so for that heres a gift, I as only able to learn the Rasengan, all the other jutsus your father created are based around your blood limit. Your blood is thicker or something allowing it to travel at those speeds without evaporating. Anyways hide that in your pocket and catch up with the group I got some stuff to do." Akuma said throwing Naruto a large scroll. Naruto pocketed it and ran off grinning broadly as Akuma disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Naruto caught up to his group and walked off smiling as Sasuke found his arm to be perfectly fine and found that the kunai thrown at him was only a dud or something but the wound was non existent. Akuma sat back in the trees looking on with an evil grin hidden behind his mask.

'Perfect, now that the seeds of doubt and hate are planted into his head soon I will be able to corrupt him and bring him with me, destroy the Akatsuki, reunite the demon lords and destroy sound and then the rest of the Shinobi villages Kage's and then finally I WILL RULE ALL OF THE SHINOBI IN THE WORLD!' Akuma though and grinned evilly at his plan.

OOC

SO how did you all like this chapter? I honestly don't care if you didn't like it anyway lmao, well anyways I decided that I let you in on this little secret in this chapter yes Akuma has his evil side like everyone else, but of course his evil side corrupts most of him more so then anyone else….but anyways, comments or complaints tell me about it and about the parings you want. And if your wondering about Chapter Twos jutsu error, someone has pointed out to me the one that Kakashi taught Sasuke someone asked me about it because he already knew about it but I was saving it for another chapter but this jutsu is stronger and so can be used without wires like its original form does.

Kirigakure no Jutsu

A Ninjutsu technique that covers the area surrounding the ninja using it completely in mist. Perfect for silent killing, since there's practically no visibility within the area of this jutsu.

Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu

This Ninjutsu is a very powerful technique, and most Genins are not capable of performing it due to the large amount of chakra it uses. The user must first gather a large amount of chakra in his hand and mouth; this attack is pretty similar to a flamethrower.

Suiton Suikoudan no Jutsu

A Suiton (water type) Ninjutsu technique where the ninja focuses their chakra through surrounding water and manipulates it into a swirling wall around them, and then directs it at their opponent in the shape of a monstrous shark made of water.

Kuchiyose no Jutsu

Having signed a contract in blood, any ninja with this Ninjutsu technique can summon a beast, or beasts, from another plane of existence to use in battle. They must use their own blood as a "sacrifice" to summon them, after performing the hand seals corresponding with their animal.
