Chapter 2: Marked
Team 7 was now resting in a small opening under one of the large trees
Sakura was looking at her other teammates with concern but for different reasons.
Sasuke was out cold and sweating profusely as his head tossed and turned as if in a nightmare. Earlier when they found him, he was clutching his neck in agony before he fell unconscious. Sakura had to put Sasuke on her back and led Naruto by the hand somewhere they could recover.
Sakura didn't get very far as Sasuke began to thrash around and hit her several times, at full strength. After feeling the oppressive aura of the woman, running away from the snake on her own, and that unintentional beating she got, safe to say, she was in no condition to fight after that.
Sakura looked over to the only other conscious member but with how still he was sitting at the opening of their little hiding spot, he might as well be unconscious. She had never seen naruto so…emotionally drained. She had always seen Naruto with a positive attitude, always trying to see the good in things, even when the villagers seemed to hate him.
Yes, she was aware of the glares that Naruto got. How could she miss it when every time they went out on some low-rank missions, the client would always sneer at him but smile warmly at the rest of them? She wanted to ask him what he did to cause it but one time she looked at him after the sneer and for a split second, saw a frown on his face. But the second she blinked, it was gone. She thought it was just in her mind but after seeing so many people give him dirty looks, she was doubting that.
But now, here he sat, looking like he learned that his favorite thing in the world was destroyed.
She took a deep breath before shifting on her knees to face him. "Naruto, are you ok?"
Naruto jumped at the sudden question and turned his head towards her. Registering the question, he put on a smile. "I'm fine, Sakura, you don't need to worry about me. Just make sure Sasuke is ok and that you get yourself patched up."
Sakura frowned at what she saw. Despite the smile he had, there was something….off about it. It was like the smile that she put on her face when she had a fight with Ino and she was trying to hide her anger. "Naruto, what - "
"Sakura, just….drop it! We have to wait for Sasuke to get better so we can get out of this forest. Let's focus on that right now."
Sakura chose to let it go since she had a feeling that he really didn't want to talk about it.
Naruto shifted to look out of their little hiding hole as he leaned his elbows on his knees and leaned his head on his steepled hands. Despite how he said they should focus on the exam and try and get out of the forest, his mind wasn't on that. 'Experiment 57. Hokage knew?' He let out a depressed sigh till he heard some scuttling at the tree line. His eyes focused on what it was and saw it was a squirrel. He would have just ignored it but something about it seemed off. Focusing on it, he saw that something was attached to its back. When he saw it scurry toward him, he noticed what it was. His eyes widened in panic and on instinct, grabbed a kunai and threw it.
The kunai flew toward the squirrel but instead of hitting the animal or the ground in front of it, it flew over its head, catching a bit of the paper that slid up, and ripped the tag off it.
The second the kunai struck a tree, the tag it caught lit up before causing an explosion.
Sakura yelped at the sudden explosion before looking to Naruto, who stood up. "What's going on?!"
Naruto looked over his shoulder and told her, "stay here." he walked out and looked into the trees. "You might as well come out. Your little trick failed."
Suddenly, three figures dropped from the trees and stood a few meters away from Naruto.
Naruto recognized them as the team from Oto that attacked Kabuto. Naruto let out a disgruntled moan as he spoke to them. "Look, I'm not really in the mood for a fight so if you want our earth scroll, then you can have it. He reached into his pouch and pulled out one of their spares.
Dosu chuckled as he shifted his feet. "Where's the fun in just taking it without a fight?"
Naruto glared at them as he spoke in a low tone. "I said I wasn't in the mood, so just take the damn thing and leave."
Zaku crossed his arms as he smirked arrogantly. "Little shit thinks he has the skill to take us. Or he is too scared to fight that he just wants to give us his scroll and he won't be hurt."
Naruto's grip on the scroll tightened before he put it back in his pouch. "I tried to be nice." while his hand was in his pouch, he grabbed a kunai that was already preset with a tag. In a quick motion, he sent the kunai at them.
Kin saw the tag and shouted. "Scatter!"
Following the shout, the three of them jumped to the side, with Dosu and Zaku jumping to their right, with Kin jumping to the left.
The explosion from the tag sent each of them flailing in the air.
Zaku was able to right himself in mid-air as he growled at the situation. "Bastard! I'll make sure to…"
But before he could say anything else, Naruto appeared in front of him and buried his fist into his face. The hit was strong enough to send him flying but it was halted before it began since Naruto grabbed his arm with the same fist before spinning Zaku over his head and into the ground.
Zaku turned his head to glare up at the blonde. "You little shit."
Naruto sighed as he stood up off Zaku. "this coming from the guys that started a fight. I even offered you ou scroll so you could leave."
Suddenly, Naruto clutched his ears as a high-pitched sound began to scream in his head. "ARGH!" He fell to his knees as the world seemed to distort. He cracked open one eye to see Dosu with his arm extended, clearly the one making that horrible sound. He was then kicked away by Zaku.
Zaku walked over to the blonde who was still clutching his ears. "Not so tough now, are you?" He kicked the blonde in the stomach, enjoying the upper hand he got.
Dosu on the other hand looked at his teammate while keeping the sound attack going. "Dosu, just finish it. We have our orders."
Kin was rotating her shoulder as she had landed badly from the explosion. "Just kill the blonde so we can get to Sasuke."
Despite how most of his hearing is taken over by the ringing, he could barely make out what they were saying. So he was able to hear her say Sasuke's name. Whatever it was they were after, Sasuke was part of it. He grunted in pain as he felt Zaku's foot hit his face.
Zaku scowled at the two. "That can wait. He's still unconscious from whatever knocked him out and the only one left is that little bitch that hasn't come out. Let me have my fun."
Kin and Dosu sighed in exasperation. Zaku was the hothead of the team that never listened to anyone other than Mistress Orochi.
Zaku continued to kick the blonde a few more times but suddenly found a hand gripping his ankle. The next thing he knew, his foot was yanked, causing him to do an unplanned split. Due to his lack of flexibility and the harsh tug from the blonde, some skin and muscle tore right under the joint connecting his leg to his hip.
Naruto forced himself off the ground with Zaku's ankle still in his grasp before he swung the Oto-nin at Kin, who was too surprised to dodge. He saw her roll on the ground before he jumped towards Dosu and brought Zaku into an overhead smash.
Dosu was able to jump out of the way of the attack but was still surprised that the blonde was able to do anything since the sound attack should have disoriented him. 'He should be wobbling on his feet.' He wondered if his attack was negated but on closer inspection, he saw that the blonde was bleeding through his ears. 'So, it did affect him. He just got lucky by shocking us.' He lifted his sleeve as he figured that it was thanks to Zaku that the blonde got the hits in. 'should just finish him off now.'
Naruto's head dropped as he was seeing double. He was thankful that he was lucky in getting the hits in. He felt like the world was spinning and his lunch was close to coming back up. Feeling Zaku shift in his grip, he tightened his grip causing something to crack.
"Decapitating airwaves!"
Naruto looked up to see Dosu sending out a jutsu his way. He immediately bent back and let the wave of sound fly over him. While bent back, he let go of Zaku, reached into his pouch, and pulled out two kunai that had a wire connecting them. Straightening up, he sent them flying at Dosu not sure if he was aiming right.
Dosu smirked under his mask as he saw that the kunai were going to pass by him. "Poor aim." it was as they got closer that he saw the shimmer of something in between them. "What the hell!" Dosu was too late to avoid it as he felt the wire impact his front and the kunai began to spin around him. He found his arms tied to his side from the wire before struggling to get out.
While the fight was happening, Sakura was watching as Naruto handled the three. When she saw him on the ground, she realized that he couldn't handle this on his own. She pulled out a kunai and was ready to jump in to help but when Naruto grabbed the one kicking him, she waited for an opening since she didn't want to get in the way. She saw that if she jumped in, she would just throw Naruto off and probably get both of them hurt even more. Yet when she saw Naruto tie up the mummy one, she saw the other two come up behind him. 'Oh, no you don't!'
Zaku and kin were sneaking up behind the blonde with the female of the two pulling out her senbon.
Zaku smirked as he saw that the blonde was way too wobbly to do anything. They may have gotten a bit bruised but in the end, this fight was theirs.
Before they could make a move, Kin reacted to a kunai strike at her. She bent back to avoid the strike before jumping away from the pinkette.
Zaku turned to her to see what the hell happened but that was his mistake.
Naruto heard the noise and turned to see what it was. He saw Sakura attacking the female Oto-nin while the other male was looking in their direction. Spinning around, he brought his fist into the male's face. Wanting to end this, he brought his fingers up in a hand sign. "Shadow clone jutsu!" He made four clones before they all charged at Zaku. since the oto-nin was still stunned by the hit, he was unprepared for the combo Naruto gave.
Naruto lowered himself and sent a straight right fist into Zaku's stomach.
A clone jumped onto the original's back before lifting his foot into Zaku's chin causing Zaku to fly upward.
The next clone jumped into the air before bringing his heel down onto Zaku's sternum and sending him back into the ground.
The last two jumped even higher before they before dropped into a side-by-side flying kick into Zaku, causing the ground to crack and Zaku to cough up blood.
Naruto wasn't sure what was happening. He felt lighter, faster, stronger, and right now, he was…. He wasn't sure what he was. Angry? depressed? Sad? What was he?
Before he could do anything else, he heard the female speak.
"I'd back off if I were you."
Naruto looked over to see the female Oto-nin standing over a kneeling Sakura, holding her by the hair and a kunai in her other hand. He looked at Sakura and saw that she seemed to be trying to get some dizziness out of her eyes. 'Must have been hit by some other sound crap.' His eyes shifted to the mummy wannabe and saw he was still tied up. The one he was beating on was still on the ground, conscious, but groaning in pain. With the distance he was from Kin, he wouldn't be able to get to her in time to save his teammate.
Kin brought her kunai closer to the pinkette's neck.
Naruto lowered his arms and dispelled his clones.
Kin scoffed at the sight. "Gave us so much trouble and now look at you. Becoming an easy target all for this pathetic girl. She your crush or something?" she asked mockingly, reveling in the fact she has the upper hand.
Naruto glared at Kin as he really wanted to punch the girl. "No, she's just a friend and teammate." Naruto felt his mood drop the more he was in this situation. His mind was already whirling and his body felt odd. Not just that but when he used his shadow clones, his chakra felt off. "When I get my hands on you, I'm going to beat you into the ground."
Kin scoffed at the threat. "You won't even get the chance. Now be a good little Konoha lapdog and go get Sasuke Uchiha out here."
Naruto grit his teeth as his fist clenched. 'I seriously just want to be alone right now!' he took a deep breath and was about to do what she asked, mainly to lower her guard but to his displeasure, he saw Zaku getting up and Dosu had made his way to join Kin, with the wire now off him. 'ugh!' He started turning only to pause when something caught his eye. His mood improved as he smirked at the three Oto-nin.
Kin glared at the boy and shouted. "Well, go get him or I cut this little bitch's throat!" she brought her kunai closer to the neck of her captive.
Naruto's glare returned as he pulled out his own kunai. "No, you won't."
Kin was about to prove that she will till she felt her body seize up. "What the…!"
"Shadow possession Jutsu, success."
Dosu looked behind them to see another team from Konoha. He was about to lift up his sleeve to attack but…
"Eight trigrams: sixteen palms!"
Dosu was suddenly hit by a girl that dropped in and slammed her palms into his chest.
Zaku didn't have a chance to even say anything as…
"Leaf Hurricane!"
He was slammed by a green blur.
Naruto sighed as he looked up at the arrivals. "Thanks for the help, guys.
Shikamaru smiled at Naruto as he held his jutsu on kin. "We would have done something sooner but it takes a bit for my shadow to move without being seen.
Hinata tied up Dosu properly before looking up at Naruto. "It was when Shikamaru was able to get the girl that I was able to take out Dosu."
Lee gave a nice guy pose to Naruto. "I could not leave fellow allies to face such hardships."
The rest of their teams dropped in.
Tenten sighed in defeat as she looked at Lee. "weren't we just going to observe? You just go rushing in when we hadn't even come up with a plan."
Lee looked apologetic to Tenten
Ino walked up to Sakura, who was still in Kin's grasp. "How you doing, Forehead?"
Sakura looked up with a weak smile. "I'd be better when she lets go."
Ino looked over to Shikamaru with a frown on her face and her hands on her hips. "You going to just sit there or are you going to let her go?"
Shikamaru sighed. "Troublesome blonde." he was about to move to get Kin to let Sakura go but froze when a dark presence was felt.
The whole group had felt it and turned to where they thought it was coming from.
Sasuke was standing at the entrance of their hiding spot with a dark purple aura surrounding him. He looked around at the scene as his eyes saw Sakura gripped in the hand of the female Oto-nin. "I'd suggest you let her go."
The Oto-nin were all panicking as they understood what the dark aura meant. It was then that it clicked in their head why Mistress Orochi had sent them to kill Sasuke.
They were sent to be a test for Sasuke, to be killed by the boy.
Kin was trying to open her hand in order to let go of the pinkette's hair but thanks to the jutsu, her hand remained closed. 'Shit, shit, shit, come on, let go!'
Sasuke gained a dark look as he walked towards her. "I said, let. Her. go."
Everyone there remained still as they didn't like the feeling coming off the boy.
All but one.
Naruto stepped in front of Sasuke and held a hand up. "Hold it, Sasuke."
"Get out of my way, Naruto."
Naruto didn't like the tone that Sasuke was giving him but he needed to stop Sasuke from doing anything that could cause problems. "Shikamaru already has her caught so just let him deal with it."
Sasuke's eyes shifted to the Nara and saw that his shadow was indeed attached to Kin. However… "not good enough." He continued his pace but was stopped again when Naruto put his hand on his chest.
"I said to let him handle it." He narrowed his eyes as Sasuke looked down at his hand. The next thing he knew was his arm being pulled to the side.
"You're in my way." Sasuke threw Naruto to the side and crashed into the side of a tree.
Naruto groaned as he pushed himself off the tree and scowled. "I am not in the mood for this!" he looked up to see Sasuke walking toward Kin, and jumped off the tree.
Shikamaru began to walk backward, causing Kin to release Sakura and do the same. He didn't know what the hell was up with the Uchiha but he didn't want to be in the middle of it.
Sasuke had a mad gleam in his eyes as he was looking forward to tearing the female apart. It was then his instincts told him to look out but as he turned his head, he felt a fist impact his face. But he was still able to grab the wrist of the one that punched him and threw him away.
Naruto spun in the air and landed on his feet before he charged at Sasuke.
Sasuke blocked Naruto's oncoming fist before bringing his other fist at Naruto's chest.
Naruto deflected the fist before turning sideways and slamming his shoulder into Sasuke. He followed up with a kick to the Uchiha's stomach.
Sasuke stumbled a bit before he allowed the power surging through him to amplify his moves. He was in Naruto's face in an instant and did a four-hit combo before sweeping the legs from under the blonde.
Naruto landed on his back and groaned before opening his eyes to see Sasuke bringing a foot down on him. He rolled away and jumped to his feet to summon a pair of shadow clones to aid him.
Sasuke pulled out a kunai and sidestepped them before slashing the two clones away. Once they were dealt with, he spun to the original, who charged at him, and jammed his kunai into the blonde's shoulder.
Naruto ignored the pain and griped Sasuke's throat with one hand and the other on the one that held the kunai.
Sasuke gripped the wrist of the hand holding his throat and held the kunai still in his grasp. He grinned as the dark power continued to power him up and he began to push Naruto back and causing the blonde's feet to leave small trenches.
Naruto did his best to push back but the power Sasuke had was making it harder. Gritting his teeth in both anger and pain, he began to push back even harder and soon found that he was matching Sasuke's strength.
What he didn't know was that the dark power that Sasuke had, was leaking onto Naruto and something on his back began to glow red. The red marking then spread up o Naruto's arm and he gained an aura himself, but his was red and black.
Many of the rookies felt the pressure from the two dark auras that began to flail around the area, and a few of them fell to their knees from it.
The Oto-nin, who were already wounded and exhausted, fell unconscious from it.
Choji, Sakura, and Ino lost their lunches from it with Hinata and Tenten close to following. The rest felt their knees buckle instead.
Black marking began to creep up on Naruto's face but his focus was on the Uchiha in front of him. Sasuke may be a lot of things. Hot-headed, driven, and a bit arrogant, but the look in his eye right now was something that Naruto would never expect to see.
Manic.
Naruto began to push even harder as his blood dripped down his chest. "Is this how you are, Sasuke? An ass who doesn't even listen to your friends?!" not getting an answer, he chose to hit low. "What would Satuski think of you if she saw you like this?"
That snapped Sasuke out of it as his eyes went wide in shock as the marks on his face began to recede. Once they were gone, the dark purple aura around him faded away.
At the same time, the same happened to Naruto's markings.
Once they were gone, everyone let out a gasp as if they just came up for air.
Sasuke blinked before looking around in confusion. "What….?" it was then that he felt something wet on his hand. Looking at it, he saw he was holding a kunai in Naruto's shoulder. "Naruto!"
"Just pull the thing out." was his dry reply.
Sasuke nodded before pulling the kunai out of his shoulder before dropping it and reaching into his pouch to pull out some medical bandages. "Satsuki would kill me if she finds out I did this."
It was a sad attempt at humor but Naruto was thankful for it. His mood though dropped as now that his mind wasn't on the fight, it went back to his nature. He looked at the blood that was soaking the bandage that Sasuke put on him as if it was mocking him. He couldn't help but think that was stupid even for him but he didn't even know what to think anymore.
"Ok, what the hell was that?"
Naruto and Sasuke looked up at the rest of the rookies as they got closer to them.
Sasuke looked down as he was deep in thought. "I…. don't know."
Sakura coughed as she still felt some foul taste in her mouth. "I think it…. Was something that woman did. She bit Sasuke on the neck and I saw those weird markings return to it."
Sasuke gripped at the mention of it. "... great." Despite how the power was intoxicating, he was sure that his sister would not like it. He could see the fear in the rookies' eyes, he could only imagine how terrified Satsuki would be.
Neji was the next to speak as he pointed at Naruto. "What about him?"
Naruto looked up from his downtrodden look and tilted his head. "What about me?"
Ino let out a sigh before she spoke. "Some markings showed up on you too."
Naruto raised an eyebrow. "Huh?" he looked down at himself and tried to find a mark on him that he saw Sasuke had on his neck but there was nothing. "I wasn't bitten by that …" his words died as every time he thought about the woman, his mood just dropped.
Shikamaru thought about what they saw before bringing up an idea. "Maybe it was a bleeding effect. Being so close to Sasuke while he was like that may have spread it to him as well. He wasn't acting all crazy when it happened and it disappeared when Sasuke's disappeared."
Naruto paused for a bit and nodded as it kinda made sense. He didn't feel crazy like Sasuke did.
The rest of the rookies seemed to accept it but a few were still wondering. Shikamaru was one of them. Despite his giving the explanation, he had no idea since he didn't know what the mark was meant to do.
Naruto and Sasuke got up and looked at their teammate.
Sakura saw the looks and smiled. "I'm fine. I just feel some pain on my head"
Tenten sighed in exasperation as she shook her head. "This is why it was recommended that you don't have long hair. It's easy for the enemy to grab onto."
Ino looked to Hinata as she asked. "Is that why you have your hair short?"
Hinata poked her fingers in embarrassment as she answered. "No…. I just like it this way."
This brought a chuckle out of them before Naruto spoke up to the rest. "Well, we have the two scrolls we need so we should head to the tower."
Sasuke looked at Naruto in confusion. "When did we get the other scroll?"
Naruto pulled out the scroll from his pouch. "That crazy woman gave it to us. Said it was a gift." He kept the rest of the reason to himself. It wasn't something he wanted to talk about.
Kiba pointed at the unconscious Oto-nin. "What about them?"
Sasuke glared at the three as he still felt anger at them for what they did but held it back. "Look through their things and maybe they have a scroll one of you guys' needs."
Neji scoffed before crossing his arms. "We already have the scrolls we need."
Kiba was eager to look through weapons pouches and soon found the scroll they had. "Perfect, we got it!"
Ino looked over at him. "Hey, what about us? Shikamaru was the one that saved Sakura."
"Yeah, but Hinata was the one that took out that Dosu guy."
Naruto watched as the two began to argue about who got the scroll but he didn't really want to be here any longer. "Guys, we should get going."
Sakura and Sasuke looked at him and wondered why, with the male of the two voicing it.
Naruto pointed at the forest around them. "We have already dealt with more than I'm sure we need to, since we fought with some crazy snake lady and we have the scrolls we need. Let's get out of here before something else happens."
Sasuke and Sakura thought about it and had to agree. They were pretty much done with this forest.
Naruto called out to the rest. "Hey, guys, we're heading out! You guys figure out who gest their scroll!"
The teams looked over to them and nodded before waving them off.
Team 7 then jumped into the trees to head toward the tower.
Tenten watched them leave before asking the rest of her team. "Maybe we should go with them. We have our scrolls so we could head there ourselves."
Neji didn't move as he continued to watch Team 8 argue with Team 10 about the scroll. He had reason to stay and he was going to do it.
~later~
In another part of the forest, Hiruzen was looking at his Anbu helping Anko Mitarashi onto her feet. She had given him the message that Orochi has indeed infiltrated the village. He would have shut down the Chunin exams in order to find the vile woman but the warning had him on edge. He looked to his other anbu and asked. "Any news on where Team 7 is?"
The Anbu shook his head. "No sir. With all the chaos that happens in this forest, we are having trouble tracking them."
Hiruzen kept his frustration inside but he didn't like the fact that Orochi was here and was after Team 7. 'Whatever she is after, I cannot allow her to succeed. He looked at his Anbu and ordered. "You are to find team 7 immediately!"
Before the Anbu there could answer, another Anbu team arrived.
"Sir, we found Team 7."
Hiruzen looked to the leader of the team and asked. "Well?"
"Sir, they have arrived at the tower about an hour ago and are now resting in one of the guest rooms."
Hiruzen grumbled a bit before ordering. "I want a team to observe them at all times and inform me of their condition."
One of the other Anbu spoke up from here. "Sir, they informed Chunin Iruka Umino about a mark that Sasuke had received from the snake sannin. There is already a team keeping watch over them during their stay in case there is anything wrong with the Uchiha."
Hiruzne thought about what he was told. 'Was her goal only Sasuke? There is no way she would not recognize… though she is known for discarding useless material. Perhaps… no. I cannot be complacent about this.' Looking back at the Anbu, he ordered. "Keep watch on all of them."
Nodding at his orders. They left.
Hiruzen then looked to the Anbu still there. "Take Mitarashi Anko to the hospital. I must return to my office since there are still a couple of days till I must make an appearance at the tower." with Orders given, he left the area in haste as he had a new task.
After making it to his office, he dismissed the Anbu stationed there as his guard as he bit his thumb before going through hand signs. "Summoning jutsu!"
In a puff of smoke, Monkey king Emma appeared. "So what is the problem, Hiruzen?"
Hiruzen had a grave look on his face as he spoke to his personal summon. "Send a message to the toads. I had hoped to give them a bit more time, but I must order them back slightly sooner than originally planned."
Emma could see the urgency in the old man's face. "Something happen?"
"...Orochi is here."
The monkey summon grew serious and nodded. "On it." and with that, he disappeared from the office.
Hiruzen moved to sit at his desk and let out a sigh. He sat there in silence for a minute before he reached into a drawer. He paused for a second at something inside before he moved his hand again and grabbed his crystal ball. Focusing his chakra, the ball began to gain an image of Naruto, who was laying on his bed in the guest room. "Hmm."
End of chapter
I'm sorry this chapter is short. The next one should be longer
Several bits of foreshadowing in this chapter and I won't spoil anything. But I leave the speculation up to you since I enjoy reading them. I will say that there are a bunch of surprises coming soon
Who could Hiruzen be referring to? Find out next chapter.
Part of me wants to skip the prelims but with how I changed things, I have to do them. But who will fight who?
Naruto is in the middle of an existential crisis and he doesn't know what to think. This isn't something you take easily and he hasn't had much time to actually think much about it. But how can he handle something like this when no one else can help him?
Also getting rid of some tropes since they have been done to death at this point. You know, Emo Sasuke, and all that.
Not much else to say but I hope you enjoyed the chapter
Flames will be ignored.
