Infernal Fox

Disclaimer: I don't own this… I love writing this for my fans… IF I have any and will love to see some reviews on it but I don't own this.. Ranma is made by Miss Takahashi and Naruto is made by it's creator whose name probably will pop into my head once I post this or something like this. I just had to write this as a small gift to everyone who congratulated me with my birthday which was on the 5th of December.

Second Test! Slaughters are for those in lust of Blood!

---

He looked at the gates surrounding the forest and he grinned as he looked at Anko who grinned at the rest of the Genin assembled before her. She grinned and then began to repeat the rules for those that hadn't really listened the first time she had told them. She saw her precious pet arrive next to his team and she grinned and said: "How nice of you to have finally arrived my pet. Come to mommy." She hugged him in an intimate way, mashing his head against her breasts.

The first feeling he got was the feeling of her soft breasts against his head. He grinned and then made sure that the breasts would caress his face even better then before by moving his face a little bit. He could practically feel the envious stares being directed at him at the moment.

Ranma took no time to think more of it as he hugged Anko a little bit and then decided that this was enough cuddling with the woman. He slowly let go and hoped that she would let go. She did let go but only after fondling him a little bit in some areas that were likely to be groped. He could still fell his butt as she had punched it. He didn't know why she had a fascination with her but still he didn't want to know where she got those weird ideas from. Maybe it was genetically transferred from mother to daughter. He'd like to meet her parents once and see if they were also loony like Anko

He looked around and saw the big trees and could faintly hear the cries of different animals from within the forest. It looked like some ominous fortress they had to invade, with death traps in every corner of it, aching to kill them. He looked at a particularly massive tree and then eh saw it topple to the ground and a giant caterpillar or whatever it was crawl up a neighbouring tree and he watched as it fell to the ground with a creaking sound.

His face seemed to be uninterested in the speech that Anko was giving at the moment and she threw a kunai at him, intending to scare him a little bit before she continued. The kunai came closer and closer to the boy and she was about to watch the blood come from the wound the kunai would inflict but she saw his hand already in the motion of grabbing the kunai out of the air. She could see that he was actively looking at her and then the kunai was grabbed from the air and then she could feel a presence behind her as well as cold steel rest to her throat and could feel a slight pressure on her back.

Ranma grinned as he could feel the kunai come closer and closer to him and he began to slowly charge up his muscles to grab the metal out of the air. He wouldn't allow himself to get hurt. He was going to seek out the rest of the loons that followed him and then he was going to make something of a massacre occur. They won't know what hit them if they survive.

With those thoughts running through his head he looked at the Genin. Most looked to be harmless and one even seemed to be capable of inflicting at least some damage to his team-mates. He felt a sting of loathing pass through his body as he looked at those who were looking at him with disapproving eyes.

I'll make them feel the agony they have made me feel while I was in Nerima. I will make them scream in fear whenever they meet me. His thoughts took a turn for the dark side and then he began to think about how easy it would be to just grab the purple haired slut by the hair and then smash her face into a tree. Gaijin. You I kill…what irony it would be to scream that into the bitch her face and then watch the life seep out of her eyes. He mentally scoffed at the memory he had of the girl and then tried to focus on different people.

His eye fell upon a youth who was wielding a sword with practised ease but didn't seem too mart in the brains department. The hamaka that he wore seemed to be a size too large and Ranma mentally groaned. The only thing that was off was the poetry and then Kuno's presence would be complete. He didn't know whether the man's mouth had been taped shut or that he was just in awe of the fact that Anko was practically half naked standing there but Ranma would expect him to go and rave on and on about a wild untamed princess…

His eyes left Kuno and he mentally shuddered when he thought about Kuno reproducing with some female. It would be totally devastating to anyone looking at the children of him. His eyes landed upon a girl wielding a spatula and a bandolier with spatula shuriken. So the self-proclaimed 'cute' fiancé has also come to play with the big and bad Shinobi. This might turn interesting…

He looked at her face and saw that training under Cologne seemed to have done her some good since she seemed to be trained more in the use of the weapon she favoured, the spatula. She'll kick some ass with the spatula. But she'll not be able to stand up to me. He looked at her face which had a focused expression on it. She actually seemed to be focused on something. Probably me, since I'm always on the top of her list. I wonder how she would react if she knew that I screwed several women at the same night and in the same room. It was funny to see how Haku liked it… she screamed louder then I had anticipated. Maybe I should drop a hint that Kakashi would need to invest in something that would keep the sound inside so we don't interrupt the sleep of the neighbours. Oh wait… they are humans so they should be able to bear with the sound…

His thinking had made him zoom out of the living world and the kunai got closer and closer to his face before he suddenly snapped back to attention and then with a lightning fast movement pulled the kunai out of the air and then he looked at Anko and he turned into a small blur which then reappeared behind Anko and put the kunai at her throat, making it dig slightly into the flesh but not enough to hurt her.

"Do you like being put into this position?" he asked her and she grinned. She knew that he could easily kill her if he moved with that speed and still he didn't kill her. She grinned and said; "If you would kindly let me go, my precious pet, then I can continue with giving you measly Genins the rest of the instructions…" she grinned and then turned to look at him and then caressed his cheek a moment before she turned back to the Genin and said; "Now that's and example of how a Chuunin should react to any aggressive action directed at them. Come on and sign your forms and then we'll start the test." She gave a cheeky smile and then handed Ranma an empty form and then whispered in his ear: "Survive this and I'll allow you a very special gift, pet. Not many men would dare to deny themselves my body and you might just get it if you surprise me during the exam. I'll be monitoring you, my pet so don't worry. All I want to see is the crimson flood from your enemy's veins."

She gave him a small kiss on his lips and then began to get her own gear prepared. She would need it to survive in the forest. It would make her life easier while in the forest. She looked at the Genin, some were chatting with their team-mates about the exam and the others were warily looking at the rest of the competitors. She saw the red-haired kid send glances of reverence towards her pet. She grinned once again as she noted the attention the red-haired boy seemed to lavish upon the blonde kid and she could not contain her mirth and let out a series of giggles, which seemed to become more insane after each had come forth from her mouth.

The way the people were looking at her didn't bother her too much. She was used to the stares from people ever since she was a child. Whispers always seemed to follow her wherever she went and she had adopted an outgoing personality which fitted her just fine. The bloodlust that had always being running in the family seemed to have taken root within her as well and she was just every bit as sadistic as her father is. She could sill remember how she used to hang skinned rabbits in front of the doors of people that she disliked and then hear their screams as they saw the skinned rabbits hang with the rope around their necks.

She had never been caught by anyone except her father who had at first mildly scolded her and then he heard the screams and had praised her on making that prick scream. She had eaten Dango with him that evening and he had gotten her hooked on the stuff. She still remembered how his pale visage was so proudly looking at her and then he spoke to her with that voice that always seemed to be something like a snake's hissing: "Anko-chan why don't you go and train tomorrow in the new technique you learned today? I will join you in practise after I finish a mission that Sarutobi-sensei gave me this afternoon."

Her feelings at that moment were indescribable. The joy she felt when she was training with her father always made her feel loved. The way they fought each other made her feel happy whenever their kunai's clashed. She sighed once, a trance slipping over her as she thought back to the fights she and her father would have as a training session. She looked at him and saw the pale skin, so unlike her own skin which she had inherited from her mother's side of the family. She watched as he came at her with high speeds, becoming a blur to her eyes. He looked at her and then decided that she was worthy of attacking ands he delivered a blow with the kunai to her left calf and then disappeared once again.

She cursed as she knew that she had lost him at the moment and waited for the next attack. She could sense him moving all around her and knew that he wasn't afraid to hurt her in any way to incapacitate her. He wouldn't kill her but at least send her to the hospital for a few weeks. Every time she got there she was subject to the sighing from the medic-nin that would help her recover slightly and she often found herself thinking about the things that she had already done to this date. She blocked the kunai as it was about to be impaled into her shoulder and then she decided to do something different. Her hand began making one-handed seals and she could feel the current of Chakra flowing through her body and a snake came forth from her sleeve and bit her father in the arm. A proud grin came onto his face and he said: "Very good Anko-chan. You are a true successor to my style. Here's a present for almost defeating me."

She could see his neck lengthening and then felt two fangs sink into the flesh of her neck. She gasped as she could feel something alien being injected into her veins and she fell to the ground. Her father looked at her and then said: "Taste ultimate power Anko. Taste the power and do not let it consume you. Goodbye, my daughter."

He was gone in a storm of leaves and she remembered how the room had looked before she blacked out. She could feel the pain of whatever her father left behind on her body and she groaned once before she could feel the pain beginning to dull as she felt her consciousness slipping and she fell into a world full of maddened dreams of people dying.

When she had woken up she could feel a stinging pain in her neck and could see the white ceiling that usually accompanied her visits with the hospital. She looked to see if someone was close to her and she saw an old and wizened man wearing the hat of the Hokage and a grim look on his face. "Anko-chan… Can you tell us where your father is?" she shook her head as she had no idea where he was and what he had done to her.

A remorseful look came over the old man's face and said; "Your father defected from Konoha three days ago. While ANBU checked your home they found you lying in the training ground, apparently undergoing some sort of seizure. What did he do to you, my child?" she could feel nothing but trust towards the man, who had been the one to take care of her father in his Genin days as his sensei and said to him, her voice shaking a little bit: "He told me something about me being his successor to the style. Then he told me something about ultimate power and the last thing I remember is pain…"

She shook her head to clear herself of the fuzziness that was still lingering in her head from having been unconscious for so long. She looked at the man who was looking at her. She could feel his tenseness and she just stared at the man who was the Sandaime Hokage: "What are you going to do about daddy, Hokage-sama?"

The man just gave her a weak smile and said: "Your father just made some bad choices in life, Anko-chan. He left the village for his own gain and thus is branded as a Nukenin. I'm sorry Anko-chan." She looked down and a tear slipped from her eye. "Daddy…. Why did you leave me Daddy?" she was feeling the ache of having her father abandoning her just like that and she could feel the ache increasing every moment as she recalled the times she would play with her daddy and sometimes with Tsunade-Neechan. For some reason her daddy and Tsunade-Neechan were best friends of sorts while Jiraiya-jiji always seemed to be left out. She vowed that she would get something.

She called herself out of her memories to see that tears were coming from her eyes and she softly said: "Why did you leave me daddy? I miss you so much." She snapped her head up once she heard a shout from a Chuunin to let the Second Exam begin and she saw that the teams were already rushing inside. Damn I did let them get away without me. Now I need to search for my precious pet… maybe this will be fun…

He looked at the other contestants the moment that he had signed his form as Uzumaki Naruto and then gave it to the Chuunin. He saw that Anko was preparing her gear as she was also going into the forest to keep an eye out for the teams. I wonder how those idiots are going to survive within the forest… he was looking at a boy who seemed to be around seventeen and was in the possession of an umbrella with foreign designs on it.

The black hair as well as the spotted bandana was a clear give-away. The boy known as Hibiki Ryouga was amongst them and probably had some lessons in speed training from Genma. He looked to have more speed capability since his legs looked a little more adapted to running or it might just be that the light was making them look thinner. He didn't seem to have gained some special skills but Genma you could never know. The time Genma had surprised him by kicking him into one of the cursed pools was still fresh in his mind.

His gaze rested upon another person, a boy wearing thick glasses and a white robe. The sneer was hard to hold back once Ranma saw that duckling trying to act cool like he actually had a purpose and to enact revenge against him. Mousse still looked like the frightened little duckling he remembered him to be. The mission Ranma had done where he had met with Haku had proved to him that there were no qualms about killing your opponent and he knew that Mousse would be a good competition for Lee's team-mate. He seemed to be in the possession of even more weapons and no training potty at this time. So he still has revenge on his mind. I can see it in his eyes, that lust for vengeance that also shines in mine. But we shall teach him his place as a lowly mortal, shan't we do that Kyuubi?

The voice that answered him from within held a small hint of amusement as it spoke to it's container as well as partner in crime. "Hmm so the little frightened ducky has already become one of our preys. I remember how he used to pull out a lot of weapons the time we fought him back in that horrible world. The pollution was slowly beginning to kill off my body and made me want to destroy that world and rebuild it from the ashes. Can't the humans see that they are harming themselves by the things that they call technology?" Kyuubi's response to Ranma's query was simple at to the point. Ranma looked at Mousse for a few moments before he decided that he had enough things to worry about and that the wonder duckling should be regarded as a minor threat to his health.

His eyes traversed the group of Genin and he watched as the ones from the different villages quietly conversed about the strategy they would use. He could feel some powerful Chakra's between them, some hidden behind barriers and some hidden due to the force of will from the user. He began to mask his own chakra and then decided that it would be easy to do just like those he had seen and began to make sure that he wouldn't be singled out, but merely seen as not worth the effort to kill. Why exert yourself if you can kill them when they don't think you are worth the effort to kill?

A dark grin spread over his face as he began to think of killing these measly Genin. He had no love for them and that showed with the way his eyes turned a brilliant red as he activated his Sharingan, but was careful to mask it with a minor Genjutsu. He looked at the gates and then headed inside with Sasuke and Sakura, not really paying too much attention to them but saying: "Let's go and get ourselves a scroll!"

He grinned widely as all three of them disappeared into the forest and he said; "I'll go and check out the forest, I'll be back in ten minutes at most." With that he was off, leaving behind a bunshin that looked exactly like him. He grinned and he transformed into his normal self once he was out of sight. His nine tails swayed slightly in the wind and he looked positively creepy the way his Sharingan eyes seemed to spin, taking in every bit of the scenery and adding it to his memory which could be useful to him. He began to dart through the trees in search of an enemy to fight and blood to shed.

He looked at the three Nerima Wrecking Crew members and he grinned. He had found his first target. He began to hide in the tree he was currently standing in and he looked at Akane who was talking excitably to Ukyou about how they would rescue Ranma and then make sure he got his just punishment for going away.

Ukyou was thinking among the lines of making sure that they had a huge batter of Okonomiyaki dough and a room and a bed and some shackles to bind one to the bed and then they could have some fun with him.

Shampoo was more interested in having Ranma's child and bringing them both back to the tribe. It would bring her great honour as well as a possible place as matriarch.

Ranma began to feel his blood boil in his veins as he looked at the trio. His eyes seemed to spin very fast and he dropped out of the tree and grinned as neither of the women had discovered his presence yet. He tapped Shampoo on the shoulder, making her turn around but he was long gone and had tapped Akane on the shoulder too, making her turn around too and stare at the empty space. Ranma felt an exultation well up within him and he couldn't resist but grab Ukyou's butt although he knew he had to wash his hands afterwards in the hot blood of his enemies…. Not these enemies though. He had a rather special fate in mind for them….

Something involving heavy crunching and eating… he watched as Ukyou turned around and looked straight into his Sharingan eyes. He grinned and said: "It's a pleasure meeting such fine young girls in the forest… You are searching for a scroll, are you not?" the question was asked with his voice being slightly different then the one he had used while he was still in Japan. He looked at the girls and a terrible smile came on his face and he said before any of the girls could reply. "Just let me take yours and in won't kill you. You look too weak to be of much use in the exam." He grinned and then suddenly felt something heavy hit him in his head, and then promptly watched how the mallet turned into sawdust the moment it had hit his head, making his hair become full of it and he looked at her, Sharingan blazing and he said: "Wrong move little girl." With a motion he was behind Akane and then grabbed her hand and then pulled her close and then began to ignite the air around him, making an inferno spring from his body, while he was protected from the heat by the use of his tails, letting Akane gain a nice tan and also putting her out for the count just because the heat sucked out all the air in her lungs and she blacked out because of it. He looked at the unconscious girl and said: "Any of you wanting to try their luck with me? And don't even think about pulling out those bonbori, purple girl." He looked at Shampoo who bristled in fury and shouted:

"DEMON MAN NO DEFEAT SHAMPOO! SHAMPOO KILL!" she attacked with her bonbori and Ranma nimbly dodged, being amused by the girls attitude and when she was close enough he grabbed her and then began to squeeze her breasts roughly, making the Amazon flush even more because she hated being molested by someone. Ranma pushed her away from him and then let his tails hit the ground, and a massive earthquake was felt all over the Forest of Death, the trees shaking under the seismic attack from Ranma no Kyuubi. He looked at the girls who lay scattered on the floor and said; "I don't think you are fun enough to play with. I'll see you in the finals. Ja Ne!" With that he was gone, leaving behind and unconscious Akane and a confused Ukyou and a fuming Shampoo who vowed to kill the Demon man once she got time.

Ranma sailed through the trees in his run towards the next living target. The Konoha Hitai-ate wasn't visible but it didn't need to be visible when he encountered a party of Iwa Genin. He grinned and then slammed his tails into the ground, causing an earthquake once again and making some of the trees fall down, which the Iwa Genin evaded, all but one and Ranma relished in the dull thump and the screams of the trapped one while his team-mates tried to rescue him.

Ranma landed on the tree, causing it to sink down on the Genin even further and he relished as the screams grew even louder, begging for rescue and if someone could please kill him if it wasn't possible to rescue him. "Such weak humans… Is that all you can do, just scream and hope someone will rescue you? Such foolish dreams for one so young as you." He grinned and then raised his clawed hands to the sky and then let them impact with the tree trunk and he watched as the tree trunk split in half, making the unlucky Genin also be split in half. Ranma looked at the Iwa Genin who assumed an attack position and then all things happened so suddenly that it made Ranma's blood boil out of the excitement for the kill.

One of the Iwa Genin hoisted a piece of ground out of the air and then threw it at him while the other apparently was busy with a long amount of seals and Ranma could feel his blood beginning to reach out for their blood splattering over him. He looked at them and then disappeared in a flash, smashing the boulder made from the ground into bits and then disappeared once again in the cloud of dust that had been made by him. He grinned as he stabbed one of the Iwa Genin, the one making the hand seals, in the back with his claws, ripping out his spine and then making sure that there would be no pain involved or any sound, so he ripped off the head too. He looked at the other Iwa Genin and saw that he was not paying any attention to him and Ranma decided to make some use of his genjutsu so he made a few simple looking hand seals and the team-mate looked around to see what the hell was happening when he felt strange and suddenly saw all kinds of spiders and other things appear. Ranma took that time to steal the kid's scroll, seeing that it was the one that they needed to pass.

He began to walk backwards, frightened by the limbs of the spiders that were still coming towards him, not realising that they were simply a genjutsu. He bumped into someone and was relieved that his team-mate was there to help him. He turned around and saw his team-mate looking at him, a cut at his neck and blood coming out of his neck with a great gushing amount the bloodied form began to walk towards him, making sounds to indicate he wanted help. A scream came from the Genin's mouth as he could feel the spiders crawling up his legs and begin to go under his clothing, still not realising that it was just a genjutsu and that it wasn't real. He saw his team-mate come at him and embrace him. The stench of death filling his nostrils and making him sick. He looked at the bloodied form and screamed once again, a heart wrenching scream this time as he was hopelessly caught within the genjutsu.

Ranma's insane laughter joined his screams as they were heard through a part of the forest, making everybody wonder who the hell was laughing in such a matter and why the person was laughing. Ranma made a few hand seals and his tails all flared to life, making a bright light appear around him and suddenly one reached out and grabbed the scroll from the corpse of the spine ripped one and then a huge flare of crimson chakra was given off and a firestorm blanketed the area all around the genjutsu'ed Genin.

The firestorm continued until Ranma's chakra died out, letting an area come into view which was totally devoid of anything save a few charred and burnt trees, with some burning trees on the side. A maniacal grin was on Ranma's face as he looked at the carnage he had brought to this place and he grinned and then was gone in a poof of smoke.

He darted through the trees, scroll in hand, and transformed back into Uzumaki Naruto and then came back to Sasuke and Sakura who stood frozen on a branch. He looked at them and then noticed a huge Chakra source in the neighbourhood and then turned around to look at a serpentine man who exuded the same chakra he had sensed. "Who are you and what the hell have you done to Sasuke?"

"Kukukukukuku and who might you be, little boy?" the man looked at him and Ranma fought the urge to just sock him in the face but kept it to himself and said; "I am Uzumaki Naruto, the future Hokage for this… village." The word village had been spewed with venom in it and the man looked at him with some hint of surprise before covering it up and said; "Well, well, it seems that one such as you might not be able to fit in my plans at all. Then there is nothing left but to dispose of you…" the man looked at him and then snakes shot out of the sleeves, aimed at Ranma who grinned as he saw the attack. He had been anticipating it, the attack making him feel alive once again as the bloodlust reached a critical mass within his body and he exploded in movement, jumping forwards, towards the snakes that came out of the man's sleeves. Then he got to the snakes, his sword lashed out and cut them in two with a small movement of the blade. One slipped past and its fangs sank into Ranma's shoulder. He stopped on a branch in front of the man and said: "I'm impressed by that technique… it looks like you summon the snakes within your sleeves and then command them to attack a target…"

Without a warning he jumped forwards, right at the strange pale man who smiled and a shockwave of energy washed over Ranma, who simply wasn't fazed at all as the Killing Intent came over him, having felt worse whenever he met up with the Kyuubi as the Demon emanated pure terror. He wasn't afraid of it since he feared none…

"Impressive…" Orochimaru commented as he saw the child still come at him, knowing that there would have to be some sort of trick involved since no child would be foolish enough to rush into danger headfirst. But then again, there could be people who were dumb enough to try and do that. He dodged the first strike by leaning backwards, then blocked a kick with his hands, also beginning to counterattack immediately, using a kick as a good measure to keep his opponent at bay.

A sly smile was on Ranma's face as he tested his opponents defence. It seems like this guy was on a totally different level then any other Shinobi that he had met, even Kakashi not reaching this amount of skill. "Tell me who you are and I will leave… I would like to know the name of a being which can resist me…"

Orochimaru made a small smile slip onto his serpentine face and he said; "Very well… I suppose I could give me name since you seem to think of me as lower then dirt, something which I am not, let me assure you. My name is Orochimaru Mitarashi."

Ranma perked up at the name and said; "A relative of Anko-chan?" he looked at the man who also looked at him and said; "Yes, I'm her father… What's your relationship with her?"

Ranma absently scratched his head, feeling the urge to sweat drop. "Well… she calls me her pet, hugs me close to her whenever we meet, usually cuddles me and has given me a leash and collar which I usually wear… look its here, underneath my coat…" he let the collar become visible to the serpentine man who simply sweat dropped.

Ahh… she has her first crush… on a kid no less… but still there must be something that compelled her to do it since she is usually conscious to do what she wants…

Orochimaru almost chuckled at that thought… Anko did have a great love for Sake, he had experienced that first hand when she had grabbed a small bottle of Sake and had proceeded to drink it until it was all gone and then she had stripped and had been about to show her naked 12 year old body to the world to see until he had grabbed her, tied her to the ceiling and then had made sure that she got sober by concocting a hangover cure which would literally be able to revive the dead IF they ingested it… he hadn't tried to do it because he knew that it wasn't possible but Jiraiya had named it the living dead potion once… but it did get rid of the hangover within ten seconds… and managed to sober up anyone… instantly…

"The name is Ranma… the last name is still under debate though…" he grinned once and assumed his true form, the tails swishing in the air, making Orochimaru tense up a bit. If the Kyuubi's container resembled the Demon in itself then there might be one hell of a fight going to occur if he didn't halt it. The feeling that there would be a gigantic battle was also within Ranma's mind as he looked at the Sennin, who looked back at him with a dark smile on the man's face. The feeling of power within his veins increased until Ranma knew that there would be enough to light up the world for an age, though Kyuubi commented that it was but the barest minimum that he could use, due to the fact that there wouldn't be enough chakra pumped through his body without instantly immolating the body.

Orochimaru sized Ranma up and Ranma did the same, the power filling him with the image of carnage within his mind. "Help me destroy…" He uttered, before shooting forwards, the image of himself blurring into a shapeless blur, Orochimaru dodging it with difficulty, the tree behind Orochimaru being torn apart by the hit that was delivered to it, and Ranma attacked once again, a punch landing on the man's cheek, sending the man into the foliage, from which serpents shot, which attached themselves to his wrist, biting deep within the flesh, making him feel the pain of them biting him and poison being injected in his veins. The feeling of the venom within his body ignited the blood lust within his body, making him look at the serpentine man, his body springing forth like a bullet from a gun and his hand hit Orochimaru in the chest, the claws digging a gash deep into the man's skin, making the man's eyes widen slightly and a glimmer of light reflecting off something in the man's mouth could be seen, the feeling that something was amiss being within Ranma's veins. A sword shot from the man's mouth, making it almost impossible to dodge, but Ranma's tail lashed out and caught the sword by the blade, the blade cutting into the tail slightly, the blood dripping on the unsheathed metal.

"Kuso!" Ranma's voice hissed, looking at Orochimaru with venom in his eyes and voice. The feeling was mutual as the man looked at the gash, from which blood was coming at a steady pace, and suddenly the man's lips seemed to part, a grin forming on the man's face. "Very well… You've become strong, Ranma-kun. I will let you date my daughter… but now I must be off, I got more things to do…" the man disappeared suddenly, before Ranma could react, and he shook his head, muttering about old men always having such a hurry…

Orochimaru watched the Kyuubi's container for a few more moments, satisfied with the reaction. The plan to make sure that the Kyuubi's container would be on his side was working, since the kid showed a great deal of disloyalty to Konohagakure. An alliance would be mutually beneficial…

Somewhere, Ranma sneezed…

The feeling that something monumental would happen wouldn't be shaken off, but he wasn't worried at all, since there was very few that could harm him…

He made his way back to his team-mates, only to see Orochimaru giving Sasuke a little kiss on the neck, after which the boy screamed and then a marking appeared, with orochimaru disappearing afterwards. He looked at the pinky and then sighed, henge'ing back into what Naruto looked like and then joining her, showing his scroll to her, and she said that Sasuke still had their scroll.

They made their way to the Tower, Ranma thinking about a good way to invent some new technique, which would be of use to him in a large scale battle against a single opponent, thinking about a good way that it could be used…

A new chapter done after a long time… SORRY! But my hand is a bit hurt, so my productivity goes down a bit… As it is today the day in which 5 years ago a plance crashed into the Twin Towers, i express my dearest wishes that something like that does not happen again, since it made me rather afraid to go on planes... but that is merely side business...

To everyone who lost a relative in that disaster: you have my support!

As a second question: Reviews are appreciated...
