Summary: The team fights against Orochimaru

Disclaimer: I do not own this story if I did, then I would be living in a bunker.

Let's begin!


(Last time)

Guys, we need to go all out against him."Sakura says as she starts focusing her chakra on the diamond on her forehead then, chakra starts to leak out of her hands.

A kanji for inner appears on her right hand and the other which is outer appears on her left hand and she smashes her two hands together as power burst out of her body. She then takes a fighting stance.

"Hyoton:Daiguren Hyorinmaru."Haku shouts as she is covered in ice and when it breaks, she's in the same armour that she was during the wave mission and she summons a sword made out of ice and then slips into Zabuza's sword fighting stance.

"Kurama, time to go wild! Hmph, just crush this worm already, Naruto!" Naruto/Kurama yells as the jinchuriki transforms into his bijuu mode once more as the Kyuubi avatar reveals itself. He then goes on his kitsune sage mode and activates his fox blaze, ready for the battle up ahead.

'Sorry, Sasuke. Maybe another time. Now then, that's my boy. Work hard so you can honour the crest that you're wearing on your back. Your father may not show it Sasuke but he talks about you all the time. Mother, Father, Shisui and Itachi. LEND ME YOUR STRENGTH!' The voices inside Sasuke say as his eyes begin to morph into a star-shaped eye.

He then is covered by the same warrior that Kakashi used only Sasuke's colour is purple instead of blue.

The team stands tall against Orochimaru, who licks his lips in glee and awe at the sight before him.

Team 7 and Orochimaru unleash a battle cry as they rush each other, ready for the battle that would begin.


(Now)

Orochimaru dashes at the team, who all dodge him and throw a couple of Justus his way.

Sasuke, in his Susanoo form, readies a chakra arrow and fires at the sannin, who is shot but then turns into mud, revealing that this one was a mud clone.

"Teme, Sakura and Haku. I've got a sealing jutsu that'll stop him from permanently escaping but there is a catch." Naruto says as he looks at his teammates.

"What is it?" Haku asks looking at the blonde jinchuriki.

"The catch is... we'll be trapped here too. So none of us can leave until we kill him or you know, he kills us." Naruto says while scratching the back of his head.

"That's fine. As long as we take that bastard down, then it's no problem!" Sakura shouts as she radiates more than before.

Sasuke knew he had a Jutsu that could use to help win this fight.


(Flashback: Two weeks before chunin exams)

"Sasuke, now that you have the mangekyo Sharingan, I'm going to ask Shizune to transfer each other's eyes so that I can then teach you Amaterasu and Tsukiyomi, little brother!" Itachi says as he looks at his little brother with pride.

"Right. Shouldn't be too hard, right Itachi?" The younger Uchiha asks his older brother but for some reason, he felt unease looking at Itachi.

"I'm sorry, what were you saying just now? I was thinking about something." Itachi asks the young Uchiha, who slowly walks backwards before using body flicker to get away from the murderer of their clan.

Itachi joins Sasuke at the hospital

Despite all that, one could see something on Sasuke. It was a look of happiness because even though he lost it all, even though he decided to fully accept the darkness, there was still some light in his world and Sasuke knew that he would have to protect that light.

No matter what it takes, he would protect Itachi and his happiness. He would make the Uchiha clan proud!


(Back to the fight)

"Orochimaru, you want my eyes? Then, let them go! It's me you want, not them so leave them alone and fight me!" Sasuke roars out as the former sannin stops his onslaught on Sakura, who flips back and tries to go to Sasuke but he stops her with a look.

"Kukukuku, I knew you would see things my way. replies as he begins to lick his lips and then licks his fingers?!

Team 7 wasn't sure if they should just be disturbed quit the exams or nuke the forest out of absolute fear of the former sannin and the threat he is to the team.

"Oh hell no, don't touch him, you freaking pedo!" Naruto yells out and steam can be seen coming out of Orochimaru's ears.

"I am not a pedophile. I just need his body!"He retorts.

"That's pretty much what a pedophile would say if they were in your situation!"Sakura says as she gives the former sannin the bird.

"That'ssssssssss it! You're all gonna die, except for Sssssasssuke-Kun. I will have fun experimenting on your body." Orochimaru shouts as he transforms into a white eight-headed snake.

"Guys, you ready? Let's make some skin us a f*cking snake!"Haku shouts with a glee sadistic smile on her face that has never been present on her ever since she joined the team.

Unless she's always been like this and they just didn't know. Zabuza doesn't really say what kind of training he did with Haku.

Just that it made her the person she is today.

"You heard the lady! It's time for some raw snake on table 6!" Naruto yells as he charges forward with a tailed beast bomb in his clawed hand, along with Sasuke who readies an arrow made out of black and purple flames, courtesy of Amaterasu and his susano helping him.

Sakura jumps up then grabs one of Orochimaru's heads and stabs it with a chakra-enhanced kunai to its brain, killing it for good.

Sasuke launches two arrows and two yasaka beads at four snakeheads, killing them with one shot.

Haku was a little quicker than Sakura by freezing two other heads with her strongest jutsu yet.

"Hyoton: Tenshi no Yuki! Daiguren Hyorinmaru!" Haku roars out then, a gigantic dragon of ice roars and crashes against Orochimaru's other heads, taking them down for the count.

Naruto slams the bijuudama at Orochimaru's main head and destroys it, forcing Orochimaru to revert to his human form.

"Guys, let's end this and we're using that combo!" The jinchuriki shouts at his teammates, who all nod and go inside the Kurama avatar.

(Play music: Short DNA-digivolution theme English dub. You'll see why)

Sasuke covers the avatar with Susano, giving it a really good defence. Especially against a former sannin.

Haku focuses her chakra and gives the avatar wings made out of ice, giving them the ability to fly should the situation prove to be dire.

Sakura channels her chakra around the body of the avatar, creating a blue lightning aura around the newly formed avatar.

"Kurama mode change to Majestic flight mode!" Naruto yells out like a kid, causing Sasuke to facepalm himself.

"Kamidammit Naruto, this is not Digimon!" Sasuke yells at Kyuubi jinchuriki.

"Okay, but you gotta admit that my voice is pretty cool." Naruto reply.

"NO, it's not! Seriously, I should've never shown you that." Sasuke says as he rubs the sides of his head to avoid a migraine.

"Can we kill Orochimaru and then argue? because if you guys continue, he's going to escape." Sakura says and the two boys' eyes widen in shock at that mention.

"No, spare me! I'll be good. I'll never seek you guys again and I will never do another experiment. On that, I promise." Orochimaru says with tears in his eyes as he crosses his fingers.

"Okay!"Team 7 replies.

"Wait, really?" The ex-sannin asks, hopeful that he will live another day.

"Uh, HELL NOOOO! Who do you think we are, the first Hokage?" Naruto says as he jerks a thumb at Orochimaru and makes the sign that Orochimaru is drunk, making the sannin even more pissed off than he already was before.

"THEN YOU CAN ALL DIE WITH ME! EDO TENSEI: SHINI FUIIN!" Orochimaru yells as his body drops to the ground like a rock then his astral projection shoots out of his body.

The shinigami appears and from the looks of it, he's not really happy. Not happy at all.

"Son of yondaime, I wasn't expecting you. I will be taking Orochimaru's soul. Filthy snake, thought that you cheat death, deny me of what I want?" Shinigami says as he stretches his palm out and absorbs the ex-sannin's soul until there's nothing left.

"Right, not that this isn't fun or anything but why aren't you going back to your realm or something like that?"Naruto asks the entity as he scratches the back of his head, unable to comprehend this divine being.

"Because there's another threat in this world called the Akatsuki. They're seeking the bijuu to power an artifact called the Gedo Mazo. I need you, Team 7 to be part of those that will stand against them and prevent them from succeeding in their goals."Shinigami says as he then takes a rainbow-coloured orb and two katanas out of his back.

"I'm gonna guess this is some kind of power booster to help us against the Akatsuki, right?"Haku asks as the Shinigami nods his head.

"Yes, this right here contains the full potential of your bloodlines so that you, Haku can fully control ice in any shape and form and can also use her bloodline to its full potential. Sakura Haruno on the other hand can awaken her true self. And as for the swords, they're weapons of my making called a zapankuto."Shinigami says as both Haku and Sakura cautiously step forward and touch the orb, causing them to glow brightly.

"Wait, what's gonna happen to Sakura? And what did you mean by awakening her true self?"Naruto asks as he points to Sakura and Haku's glowing shells.

"About 1145 years ago, there was a man named Eren Yeager, who had the ability to transform into a titan. He had three powers that would forever change the world: Attack titan, Founding titan and Warhammer titan. Separated, these powers were on par with the Ichibi but together, they could defeat the Kyuubi if used correctly. Back to what I was saying, Eren had these three powers. His friend Armin Arlert, had the colossal titan power. Armin settled down with another titan shifter named Annie Leonhardt, who had the female titan power. Another man who knew Eren is Reiner Braun and he had the Armored titan power and due to the death of two of his cadets which ended in him getting revenge, he gained access to the Jaw titan and Cart titan. And the last one is Eren's half-brother, Zeke Yeager and he had the beast titan power."Shinigami explains as Naruto stares at him with wide eyes and Sasuke has his jaw dropped at the thought of Sakura becoming taller than his Suano form.

"Okay, but what happened to them? Those titan transformers... no, titan shifters? Now, that's a name I'm gonna keep."Naruto says as he waits for the Shinigami to further this particular matter.

"Their descendants kept inheriting their powers and eventually, by pure accident, Sakura had gotten them all but they are sealed and can be unlocked by experiencing emotional trauma. If she experiences it, she can unlock a new ability. Right now thanks to my help, she can use the Female titan and the Cart titan's powers. The zapankutos are for Sakura and Haku. Haku's zapankuto is Hyorinmaru and Sakura's is Senbonzakura. Well, this is it. Good luck."Shinigami says as he then leaves, just in time for Haku and Sakura to come out of their shells.

Power was radiating from both of them.

"Amazing! I feel like I can do anything."Haku says as she picks up her Zapankuto then she flexes a little bit of her power by shooting a tree with an ice senbon and it completely freezes it.

Sakura picks up her Zapankuto then bites her hand and transforms into her titan form before reverting to normal.

(AN: Her titan form looks like Annie's)

Sasuke walks to Orochimaru's corpse and picks up a katana that was next to him. The kanji read: Kusanagi.

"Good, now let's end this test. Once and for all."Sasuke says as he then activates his Susano then the other members jump in the avatar and they all fly off in the direction of the tower.


(Chunin exams prelims: 4 days later)

Four days have passed since Orochimaru's death and the end of the second exam of the chunin exams. Team 7 managed to get in the tower first thanks to the help of Sasuke's Susano. Since then, the team has been constantly training with their new powers so that they could be on par with at least low-jonin shinobis.

They were currently waiting for the first match to begin.

"The first match will be Ino Yamanaka vs Hinata Hyuuga."Anko says as the two kunoichis step on the battlefield.

One with determination to surpass herself and the other wanting to brutally murder the former for committing one of the biggest sins on earth.

"I will let you know this, Ino-san. What's going to happen isn't because I hate you. It's because you took him away from me. YOU TOOK Naruto-Kun AWAY FROM ME! AND FOR THAT, I WILL LEAVE YOU TO A FATE FAR WORSE THAN HELL ITSELF! COME, YAMANAKA, THIS IS YOUR LAST DANCE AND IT'S GOING TO BE WITH... THE LAVENDER DEMON." Hinata says in absolute rage as she puts her hitae-atae on her forehead then activates her Byakugan. She starts radiating a high level of killing intent and is aiming at Ino, who takes two kunais out of her pocket and aims it at Hinata.

"Will you let him go already?! He doesn't love you and I don't even if he loves...me. Regardless Hinata, It's time for you to wake up and realize this isn't a fantasy. I'm gonna be the one to give you a huge wake-up call and it's starting now!"Ino says as she radiates chakra around her and strengthens her resolve for what's to come.

This battle was to determine who will be Naruto's future wife and neither one of them would lose to the other. This was a battle of survival.

"Let the battle begin!"Anko shouts as the two kunoichis launch themselves at each other.

Ino throws her two kunais then does a hand sign and two other Inos come out to play.

Hinata deflects the oncoming kunais and they each land on the left and right side of the arena. The two Inos go where the kunais are located and Ino-prime starts focusing chakra in order to do her clan's famous jutsu, the Mind-transfer jutsu!

"Pathetic! Academy justus won't work on me, she should know that by now. Unless... I see. Go ahead, Ino, do it! Because that your jutsu will be your last."Hinata thought to herself as Ino is done with the preparations of her jutsu and it's aimed at the Hyuga heiress with the intent to settle this, once and for all!

"This is the end, HinatAAAA! MIND TRANSFER JUTSU!"Ino shouts and as soon she shouts those words, her body drops like a sack of potatoes and Hinata freezes, meaning the jutsu worked.

"I, Hinata Hyuga, forfeit-."Says the now possessed Hinata before freezing up and standing there like a statue.

"What the heck is going on here?"Naruto shouts, worried about Ino and this jutsu that she just used against Hinata.

"Ino should've gotten out already. Ino, GET OUT OF THERE! SHE'S GONNA KILL YOU!"Shikamaru yells out before being restrained by Choji, Asuma and Kurenai.

"Kurenai, answer me this. Did you by any chance train your genin in mental resistance?"Kakashi asks, worried about the consequences that could come from this battle.

"No, just Hinata. The girl.. she's too precious to me. I couldn't say no. Besides, it's not like she's actually gonna kill Ino. The two of them are leaf shinobi and we at Konoha respect each other enough to not one another."Kurenai says, defending herself before being given a glare by none other than...Naruto himself!

"So, not only did you neglect two of your students but you also made sure that she could kill people inside their minds? Didn't you think this through or you are just her damned babysitter? Well, Answer me!"Naruto yells at her as the chakra of Kurama starts to leak out of his body but he quickly calms down.

"That's none of your business, genin. What I do to train her doesn't matter to you. If you're so worried, then maybe you shouldn't have broken her heart like you so harshly did. In the end, You are just... a weak, heartless and worthless demon spawn."Kurenai says coldly as she walks over to her seat with a small yet noticeable grin on her face.

"I'm gonna CRIPPLE THIS BITCH!"Kurama roars out within the mental link of his partner.

"Naruto, I'm so sorry about that. Usually, Kurenai is a lot nicer than this. It's probably just the stress of wanting Hinata to win this match."Asuma says, trying to defend his secret girlfriend before leaving to sit next to his team.

"She's gonna pay blood for what she's doing to Ino!"Naruto says clenching his fists so hard that blood starts pouring over before he unclenches them.

Soon, he would realize that his words would be justified.


(Hinata's mind)

"Okay, what just happened back there. I know I hijacked Hinata's mind and I know it worked. Unless I did it wrong? Let's go back and try this again."Ino says as she finds the exit and runs towards it but is then stopped by Hinata herself.

"Uh uh uh, I'm afraid you're not going anywhere until I make you pay for what you've done!"Hinata says as she starts making copies of herself until she knows it's enough and they all launch themselves at Ino.

They then proceed to beat her up until they feel she's had enough.

"Look at you, you walked in pretty confident. In the end, Naruto will hate you because you're weak."Hinata says as she starts making genjutsu to torture Ino.

She does so by showing Ino images of Naruto killing her, having fun with Hinata and other girls and making her friends and family tell her to kill herself.

After a while, Ino loses the light in her eyes as she realizes that she should've forfeited. She shouldn't have gone to fight this... fight this... MONSTER!

"Enjoying yourself, Ino-chan? Cause I'm having a blast. Unfortunately, You need to get out of here so I can break your body. See you soon, buddy!"Hinata says as she makes Ino exit her mind.


(Chunin exams: Outside of Hinata's mind)

They're back but Ino can't move because of what Hinata did to her.

"Ino, snap out of it!"Naruto yells but she's unresponsive and she's able to do is a simple whisper.

"Naruto, it's no use. She's brain dead because OF HER!"Sakura shouts pointing at Kurenai, who doesn't flinch and is instead focused on the match.

"It's over. I'll see you another time, Ino-chan."Hinata says as she begins beating the living crap out of Ino.

For a while, all the spectators could see was a one-sided massacre. Screams of absolute agony and pain could be heard across the whole stadium as Hinata continued to mercilessly beat


Ino until she either dies or she says she gives up on her Naruto-Kun.

Yeah, Love is absolutely ridiculous.

Hinata ends this battle by striking Ino's spine, crippling and possibly ending her shinobi career.

"This battle is over! The winner of this battle is Hinata Hyuga! Someone bring the medics and Tsunade!" Anko shouts as Tsunade, Shizune, Sakura and Naruto all run towards Ino.

"Naruto-Kun, did I do-!"Hinata says before being cut off as Naruto passes over her cradles a motionless Ino.

"Hinata, I'm gonna make you pay for what you did to her! I hate you, your sensei and your damn clan for not even stopping this! I make this promise, I will not stop until you suffer just like she did. Do you think Naruto will love you after what you did? Think again, you crazy b*tch!"Sakura says as she shoulder-bumps Hinata and continues her way to Ino and heal the minor damage that was done to her.

"Always her! It's always her! It's always gotta be her! I proved my worth to Naruto-kun but he still went to check on her! What does she have that I don't? Kurenai-sensei lied. True love doesn't exist! She lied to me! She will pay for lying to me! She said if defeat Ino in front of Naruto-kun, that he would fall in love with me. We would be holding hands then we would be getting married and have two kids named Boruto and Himawari. IT'S NOT FAIR!" Hinata thought, seething in anger, jealousy and hatred as she looks at Ino being carried bridal style by Naruto and the two leave the stadium along with Sakura, Shizune and Tsunade.


(With Hiruzen)

Hiruzen was livid! Is this what the Hyuga taught the heiress? Is this what Kurenai taught her? NO, this is not the will of fire! This is the curse of hatred and all of this for a boy. Granted, Naruto could use some love in his life but this is not the way to do it.

He would teach Kurenai a lesson she would not forget for the rest of her life. She didn't learn with Yakumo but now because of that, Hinata, Kiba and Shino would be the last students she would have. And it would stay like that until HE said otherwise. Why, because he was THE Hokage and it was high time that he start acting like it.


(After two hours)

Ino was stabilized for now but the rage was still present, especially in Naruto who would throw death glares at Hinata whenever he had the chance.

Now was the time for vengeance. He would not stop until Hinata was begging for a mercy that he wouldn't give.

It seems Shinigami heard his plea for revenge because he gave him an opponent from her team that he kinda wanted to beat into a bloody pulp. This was perfect!

"Naruto Namikaze vs Kiba Inuzuka! May the two get on the battlefield!"Anko shouts as they make their way to the center.

"I want a clean match, Naruto-gaki. No use killing him if you want to make her pay. You should beat the living s*it out of him so she can learn not to mess with you. Anyway, let the battle begin!"Anko says as she motions for the battle to begin.

Kiba makes Akamaru swallow 3 pills and then, he gets on all fours.

"Naruto, ready to go? Just remember, Don't kill him for what sensei and Hyuga b*tch did. Make them pay at their own time. Let's go, PARTNER!"Kurama shouts as Naruto goes into his chakra mode and takes out the Raijin no ken and two Hiraishin kunais.

The two dashes at each other as the war between these teams has just begun.

The question is, who will win? A fully serious yet angry Naruto or the very arrogant and brash Kiba?


END!

Hey guys, hope you enjoy that chapter as much as I did. As of now, Orochimaru is dead and there will be no reviving him but the Akatsuki is still at large and without Itachi or ? to be around, who knows what they will accomplish? And what happened to the curse mark and will it ever show up again? Find out on Rise of the fox.

I hope you liked my explanation of Sakura's bloodline since I felt she should contribute a little bit more to the transformation sequences. Will I include more stuff like this? Who knows, so stick around and you may be shocked by what I do.

I wanna give a huge thanks to all of you readers especially TigrezzTail. You've been a huge boost to me wanting to keep writing this story. It is my first story so I want to see this through. But anyway, thanks for reading.
