The Next Day.

"Alright then Brats, Listen up!" Anko called from atop the fence. "Welcome to Training Ground 44; or as most Shinobi like to call it: The Forest of Death!" she yelled out. "Here it is that you will be pitted against each other in order to get these two scrolls!" she pulled the scrolls from a trench coat pocket and held them up for the Genin to see.

The forest in front of them certainly looked worthy of such a description, its huge trees giving off an imposing impression along with the malevolent smell.

Well, only Naruto and Kiba could actually smell how dangerous it was, but it was still a pretty big red flag.

"Before I explain the rules of the exam, I need to give you these papers." Anko says, pulling the papers out of her trench coat.

"What are those?" Neji said in suspicion.

"Release wavers." Anko explained. "You guys can and most likely will die in this test, these papers are here so if that does happens, I won't be held responsible. After this, your team will get a scroll and go to one of the randomly chosen entrances for a scroll battle."

She then took out two scrolls, one labeled earth, and the other labeled heaven. "Each team will get either a heaven or earth scroll, your goal is to get the other kind of scroll and then get to the tower in 5 days. You will be disqualified if you lose a teammate, open the scroll before you get to the tower, or run out of time."

"Wait, What about food!?" Choji shouted.

"You'll have to find your own." Anko said with a sadistic grin. "That's about everything about the test. Hope you live, maggots!"

A few minutes later.

Naruto and his teammates were walking through the forest.

"I wonder who should we rush first?" Sasuki wondered. "There are 11 choices to pick from."

"That sound team seemed overconfident," Naruto mused. "Getting the drop on them would be pretty easy."

"Or we could just use your clone to scour the area." Sakura suggested. "And strike at people who are getting weak."

"That's rather boring, but it's also practical." Naruto replied. "I'll try it. Wouldn't hurt."

Naruto makes a few dozen clones and disperses them across the forest, some disguised as his teammates.

"How long before they find someone?" Sasuki asks.

"Not long." Naruto mused. "I'm pretty fast and so are my clones."

The various clones head all over the place, splitting into teams of 2.

One group of clones paused, hearing a scream akin to a death rattle accompanied by a roar.

"Sounds like a team's already getting slaughtered." The clones mused, rushing toward them to get a free scroll.

When he got to where the sounds are, he met an interesting sight.

Two dead Kusa genin, ripped apart and crushed horribly, a good part of their torso completely missing.

"Damn." The clone thought. "Sucks to be them."

A quick check of the corpses revealed rations and weapons, but no scroll to their shared displeasure.

Any further musing was cut off by another scream, warranting more chasing.

He eventually caught up to the sounds to see a redhead hiding up a tree, a tree about to be knocked down by a huge black bear.

"Oh this is too easy." The mused, seeing a free harem member who most certainly had her ex-team's scroll.

The clones proceeded to use a rock wave to bury the beast in rubble.

The clones then walked to the tree, smirks on their faces and started to release their pheromones.

An interesting fact Naruto found about his is that they can use the gifts the Kyuubi gave him, albeit to a lesser extent.

The redhead slipped down the tree, relief all over her face.

"Thank you." She cried, hugging the clone. "I-I'm Karin. Karin Uzumaki."

"Don't mention it." The clone said. "You have your team's scroll, don't you?"

Karin blinked, before sighing. "Of course. That's why you saved me." She was already disqualified, there was no reason to keep these things.

Digging into her pocket, she pulled out an Earth scroll, exactly what his team needed.

"Aw, don't be like that." Naruclone said, walking toward her. "That's not the only reason."

"Uuhh, What would the other one be?" Karin asked, despite having a very good idea what it was.

"I need to bust a nut," The clone said, grabbing her arm. "In you."

To his mild surprise, Naruto saw her pants immediately soaked at that statement.

His pheromones shouldn't be powerful enough to cause that kinda effect.

What he didn't know was that with Karin being a sensor type of Shinobi, and his pheromones worked especially well against them due to the scent being chakra-based.

Despite this, she wasn't going to just bend over on the spot.

"Nononononononono! You can't be serious!" She shrieked.

She flailed against his strength without much success, her physique unsuited for actual combat.

The clone smirked and pushed her down to the ground, using an earth trap jutsu to keep her from running away while he undid his clothes.

"…is there any chance we can talk about this?" Karin said, trying one last attempt to get out of this mess.

"Well, you have two choices." Naruto replied. "Let me fuck your brains out, and get carried to the tower, or try to get to the tower on your own."

Karin sighed, knowing she wouldn't last a day out here on her own. "Fine. Do what you want."

Naruto laughed. "Good to see you picking the right decision."

He then took off his pants, revealing his large 15in cock.

"Open your mouth you slut, and take my seed down your throat like a good little whore!" Naruto roared. "After that, I will impregnate you! Your cunt will learn to worship this cock!"

Karin's eyes bulged and cunt started to soak through her pants even faster. "Great Sage! This monster will destroy me! Is he even human?"

Then again, she knew didn't have a choice but to do as he said.

She kissed down the shaft of Naruto's length, holding his cock near the tip as she made her way down to the knot.

It couldn't hurt to start with what she said she wanted to do.

She tentatively slid her tongue against the tightened sac holding Naruto's balls.

Slowly, she kissed them, and licked them more, listening to the blonde give a few moans and even slide his hand into her hair.

She opened her mouth and carefully took one in, giving a few firm sucks.

A lustful moan came out of the clone, giving Karin the indication that she was doing something right.

Her throat convulses around his dick, and more slobber collects on her chin, even as she stares right back at him.

She couldn't fight the fire in her loins any more, and she could hardly even remember why she tried to in the first place.

Finally, after a long moment, Karin pulls her hand away from Naruto's cock, plunging it in her cunt while the other continues to knead and massage his balls in a quite pleasurable manner.

"Fuck I'm cumming!" Naruto roared as his cock surged with pleasure and Karin's eyes went wide with surprise before she was blasted off his cock.

His cum having filled her mouth and stomach as she couldn't keep up with the flow and was launched off.

"Ugh, that was good." The clone groaned.

"You done?" Karin moaned, partially muffled by cum.

"Nope!" Naruto grinned. "I still got more in me."

"How?!" Karin cried incredulously. "I could barely keep the first shot down!"

"I'm an Uzumaki too." Naruto said. "I'm a stamina freak that way. Besides you only made one of us cum."

"Oh fuck me!" Karin moaned.

"Literally." The clone laughs as another clone walks over.

"I'm thinking of a spitroast." The other clone said.

"Spitroast?" Karin asked, unfamiliar with the sex position.

"Don't worry," The first clone said. "You'll find out."

With no more warning, the clone grabbed her head and pulled her out of the earth trap and on to his cock.

"Gakh!" She gagged as her mouth was filled with dick.

The other clone took a look at her soaked pants and laughed. "To think We'd get a girl like this so early!"

He then took off the pants and panties, before lining up his dong with her cunt. "Feel my cock pierce you!"

And with that, the clone slammed his hips forward, stealing Karin's virginity with all the finesse of a freight train.

Lighting-like pain surged throughout her body as she convulsed from the first man she had ever intimately known.

It hurt… Kami it hurt like nothing she had ever done. But she wasn't naive. She knew the pain would pass… soon hopefully.

Fortunately for her, the pain did pass quickly, the rapid pounding she was receiving bringing more pleasure than discomfort.

"O-oh," she whined. "Oh, Kami, this feels so good." Her head rolled back as she the sensation of being fucked by something so big almost knocked her stupid, the pleasure coming in too strong not to be felt and adored.

The cock in front of her was not to ignored either, as every thrust from one clone shoved her along the other; and she always ended up bouncing back on him, her tits failing madly and the body burning in pleasure.

Soon, the clones reached their limit.

"Oh fuck yeah!" The oral clone groaned, shoving his cock all the way down her throat and knotting in her mouth.

"Get pregnant slut!" The other roared, punching clean through her cervix and into her womb, knotting her there too.

Karin choked and screamed as she felt a searing hot thick fluid shoot into her from both ends, a vicious orgasm making her entire body spasm.

Over the few seconds, the dicks filled her mouth and the womanhood almost to the point of bursting.

Soon, the knots deflated, leaving the fucked stupid Uzumaki on the floor.

"That was good slut." The second clone stated. "We'll enjoy using you more."

One clone carried Karin to the tower in the center, another took the scroll back to the original along with the stuff from the corpses.

An hour later.

So far, Team 7 had been taking the defensive route, setting up camp and waiting for when other teams weakens to strike.

"Fuck, this is boring." Naruto moaned. "We should've tracked down the sound and beaten them up."

"Can it dobe." Sasuki snapped. "This is the safest way of getting through this part of exam."

"That doesn't make it less boring." Naruto snapped back. "I hope something happens eventually."

"Oi!" A familiar voice roars over them.

The three look up to see one of Naruto's clones in the trees.

"Did you find a scroll already?" Naruto asked.

"Yep." The clone said, handing the earth scroll over.

"Looks like we win." Sakura said.

"Don't get cocky." Sasuki stated. "We still have to get to the tower in one piece."

The three genin get up to rush to the tower when Naruto's senses pick something up.

"Uh guys?" Naruto states.

"We have company, don't we?" Sasuki growled.

"Yep." Naruto said. "Get ready. Sakura, behind me."

Sasuki jumped into the trees, her sharingan trying to see the ninja they're facing.

Sakura hides behind Naruto, as she was instructed.

However none of it prevented an enormous gust of wind from flinging them across the forest.

"Argh!" Naruto roared as he sent flying.

Soon, they hit the floor with a crash.

"Ugh," Sasuki groaned. "What ju-"

"SNAKE!" Sakua screamed, pointing up.

Naruto and Susuki's heads both whip around, seeing a monstrous snake right behind them.

"Get out of the way!" Naruto roared, making seals for a powerful wind jutsu and blowing it away.

Sasuki on the other hand, unleashed a barrage of fireballs at the beast, the fire and wind combing and lighting the snake up.

"Good reflexes." A calm voice speaks out from the shadows.

The team turns around to see a grass nin walking toward them.

"Who are you?" Sasuki snaps.

"Just a ninja in this test." The woman states.

Without any more warning, the woman rushes toward at a high speed.

Sasuki fired off a particularly big fireball, boosted by Naruto's wind jutsu as well.

The woman ducked under the jutsu and swung a fist at Sasuki, who managed to dodge it by the skin of his teeth.

Sasuki immediately drew a kunai and slashed at the grass nin, lightly cutting her cheek.

"Impressive." The woman said, swinging her hand and blowing them both away.

"This woman is far too strong to be a genin." Sasuki said. "We have to run."

"I doubt that will work." Naruto objected. "She clearly faster than us and can hunt us down before we get to the tower."

"Oh?" The woman pondered. "Surely you don't think you can take head on?"

Naruto growled. "Don't underestimate me!"

Sasuki swallowed her growing panic and unlocked her sharingan.

"Two tomoe in each eye already." The woman stated. "Marvelous."

Sasuki jumped and shot off a few fireballs before trying to stab her through the face.

The grass nin slipped through the flames with relative ease, before grabbing the arm Sasuki tried to stab her with.

Undeterred, Sasuki immediately tried to kick her in the face.

This attack actually connected, though it didn't seem to do much.

A fast-paced taijustu battle ensued, as the kunoichi traded blows with each other.

"My sharingan can barely keep up with her," Sasuki thought in a panic.

Never a taijustu prodigy, Sasuki usually relied on her eyes to get an edge in battle, but against this ninja, it was the only reason she was lasting long at all.

Sasuki jumped back, narrowing avoiding a sweep kick, only to take wind bullet to the stomach in midair, knocking her to the ground but thankfully not off her feet.

Naruto scowled and made a few dozen wind clones to swarm the woman, while Sasuki made hand seals for a big fire jutsu.

"Do you think this came trap me?" The woman mocked as she cut down three clones.

"No need." A clone shot back."We're just waiting for Sasuki."

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet!" A huge dragon of flame rushed out of Sasuki's mouth and crashed down into the clearing, the many wind clones feeding the flames greatly.

Naruto had a feeling that this wouldn't be enough to kill her and that she would stop playing around by now, and so did Sasuki, so they booked it, leaving more Wind and Earth clones in their wake.

Naruto even pulled on the kyuubi's chakra to make himself faster.

Sakura, who had been hiding this whole time, jumped on Naruto back as they ran.

However, the two ninjas had underestimated just how worse things would get as the clones saw the wreckage.

To their shock, they saw a entirely different face under the grass nin's, a pale white face with slit eyes.

"What the hell are you?" A clone asked in shock.

"I am Orochimaru," The monster answered, surveying his damage.

His limbs were covered in second degree burns and his disguise was completely totaled.

If he were anyone else, he'd be dead.

Orochimaru grinned to himself.

"Ku Ku Ku Ku. Screw just marking the Uchiha," He thought. "I'm going to put a curse seal on both these pleasant surprises."

Naruto, still running on demon chakra, was carrying his teammates through the forest at great speeds.

"A hit like that should occupy her for a while." Naruto said.

"What is she?" Sakura snapped.

"Hell if I know," Sasuki hissed. "All I know is that she's way beyond chunin level."

"Shit!" Naruto snapped.

"She popped all of your clones didn't she?" Sasuki deadpanned.

"Yeah!" Naruto said. "And she apparently has a face underneath her other face, and is a guy!"

"Of course!" Sakura shrieked. "Why wouldn't she be?"

"She's also closing in!" Naruto roared.

"What do we do?" Sakura panicked.

"Simple." Naruto said. "I'll hold him off."

"And how the hell are you gonna do that?!" Sasuki snapped.

"I've got a plan!" Naruto snapped back. "Now beat it, Uchiha!"

"He's coming!" Sakura screamed, pointing at snake-eyed monster chasing them.

"Weren't you the one that decided to fight me head on?" Orochimaru mocked, now using his own voice. "How come you're running now?"

"I needed a little time for this!" Naruto roared.

The others quickly got off him as his chakra spiked and a cloak of red charka formed around him.

Orochimaru frowned, he couldn't use the five pronged seal without burning his hand, and most other seals would be difficult to do in such a dense forest.

The only good solution would be brute force into submission, not something he lacked, but not something he excelled at either.

"Let's see you fight me now!" Naruto snarled, extending the hand of his cloak to grab him.

Orochimaru jumped over the hand and unleashed a huge fire jutsu that blew up a good swath of the forest.

Naruto screamed, his cloak shielding him from the flames, but not the temperature.

Sasuki and Sakura were able to feel the shockwave of the attack from a good distance away, while Naruto was blasted into the floor hard.

"Fuck." Naruto swore, before shooting a wind dragon bullet at the bastard, it was a lot harder to use jutsu while riding on the Kyuubi's chakra, but the payoff was quite worth it.

A blast of wind that launched everything within sight into the sky, including Orochimaru.

Naruto scowled, seeing the Orochimaru turn to mud.

"Where is he?" He growled.

He swung his hand and leveled another swath of the forest, revealing Orochimaru making seals at a incredibly fast pace.

"Shit!" He roared, jumping at him, prepared to make a fast wind jutsu-.

"Lightning Release: Zap Cannon."

BOOM!

A blast of yellow electricity slammed into him in midair and threw him across the forest at a almost comical speed, crashing though trees and rocks in great numbers.

Naruto heard the Kyuubi roar in pain in its head before going silent at hitting the ground.

Naruto groaned as the red chakra dispersed, leaving his body unprotected, burnt, and still twitching from the electrical shock.

"To wield the Kyuubi's chakra so easily," Orochimaru walked, admittedly tired from this endeavor. "You are quite the interesting jinchuriki."

"Go...to...hell..." Naruto rasped, barely able to get back onto his knees.

"Don't worry, I will not kill you." Orochimaru stated. "It would be a waste to end someone so promising, instead I will give you a gift."

To Naruto's surprise, the man's neck stretched and his head flew over to his neck and bit him on it.

More to Naruto's surprise, it hurt, far more than it should have.

His neck burned as if acid were running through it.

Agonized rasps came from his mouth as Naruto thrashed around in pain.

He barely registered Orochimaru picking him up to do god knows what else to him.

Orochimaru debated using the Fived-fingered seal on him to keep the Kyuubi in chains, but that could damage his chakra control and lead to him being killed by the sound genin before he got a chance to see more of his power.

"Besides, why handicap such a promising vessel?" Orochimaru mused to himself. "Should the Kyuubi be sufficiently tamed, he could be an exceptional asset."

And with that, he rushed for his other vessel.

Sasuki and Sakura were rushing towards the tower, planning on telling everyone about the rouge ninja rampaging through the forest.

Sasuki even left wire traps for the mad man with shadow clones.

Unbeknownst to Naruto, Sasuki had copied his shadow clone in one of their spars.

The chakra cost usually deterred from using the jutsu, but this situation called for desperate measures.

Unfortunately, Orochimaru was barely slowed down by the traps and clones, deciding to cut the playtime for now.

Sasuki barely felt something prick her neck before it exploded in pain.

Sakura whipped her head behind to Sasuki on the ground, writhing in pain, and Orochimaru right behind her, Naruto slung over her shoulder.

Throwing caution to the wind, Sakura charged the man, who merely dropped Naruto to the ground and jumped higher into the tree.

"You bastard!" Sakura screamed. "What did you do to them?!"

"Ku ku ku. I merely gave them a parting gift." Orochimaru smirked. "I'll be going now. Tell those two that I plan on seeing them again."

Sakura glared daggers at the man, who seemed to slowing flickering away.

"And one last thing," Orochimaru added. "Get them ready for the sound."

And with that, Orochimaru disappeared, leaving Sakura with two tortured teammates.

Sakura dragged her teammates away from the destruction, hoping beyond hope that her teammates were okay.

Thankfully, she found a clearing with enough room to do proper medic work.

The problem was, she didn't know what the injuries were.

On sure, the burns and bruises were undone rather easily, but the mark on the neck wasn't like anything she'd heard of before.

What's worse, if something comes before they wake up, she would be completely defenseless.

The only thing she could do at that point was booby trap the area and pray to the sage that they would wake up soon.

Naruto groaned as he opened his eyes, seeing nothing but purple mist everywhere.

"Where the hell am I?" He wondered.

A sob caught his attention and he waded through the mist, wondering what it was.

Then he saw what it was.

Himself, only younger and beaten.

"Why do they hate me?" The copy cried. "What did I do to them?"

Faceless shadows emerged from the mist, spewing hate and disgust.

"You are a such a shame."

"Dead last..."

"Don't look at him dear...that only deserves your scorn."

"Why are you alive, while so many of us perished?"

"You...You're responsible for all of our misery...You. Must. Die."

"My life is ruined... Because of you."

"They hate us..." The young Naruto said. "For something we have no control over...Why should we help this village? Why don't we burn it to the ground?"

Naruto was silent up to this point before he regained the ability to speak. "Because this way is better."

"What?" The young Naruto said, visibly surprised.

"I have no intention of becoming the very monster Konoha thinks me as." Naruto snarled. "Call it pride, but giving any of those bastards the satisfaction of being right pisses me off! To prove them wrong, to make them see their own stupidity and how it would've destroyed what was left of their village if not for my goals! That would more satisfying than any destruction!"

"You forgive them?!" The young Naruto snarled. "For all they've done!?"

"Hardly." Naruto scoffed. "I merely see no gain in senseless destruction and murder. I don't plan to become Hokage to help the village, I plan to be Hokage to rule it."

"That's the Naruto I know." A familiar voice snarled.

Suddenly, the world trembled.

Red chakra erupted from the ground, washing away the mist, swallowing the shadows, consuming the fake Naruto.

Naruto turned around, facing the perpetrator.

The Kyuubi no Kitsune.

"I could've taken them." Naruto smirked.

"That may be," Kyuubi said. "But you need to see this."

Naruto took a look at the cage the Kyuubi was in, seeing many different and unwelcome things.

Purple Chains of flesh covered the whole sewer, tying the cage and making it hard to see the kyuubi apart from his face.

"What did that bastard do to us?" Naruto snapped.

"He placed a seal on us, with the intention of enslaving us." Kyuubi snarled. "I can even feel a shard of his soul here, trying to corrupt our minds."

"Great," Naruto groaned. "How do we get rid of it?"

"I could assimilate it like with our woman," Kyuubi stated. "But there are three problems with that."

"There's always a catch isn't there?" Naruto moaned.

"Quit whelping." Kyuubi snapped. "First, I'm not sure how long it would take. Depending on how much of your body it's corrupted, this could take weeks."

"Second, I'm not sure what would we get when I do so, as this is a type of seal I've never encountered before." Kyuubi continued.

"Well, few sane people would be willing to break off part of their soul and shove it in someone else." Naruto replied.

"Fair point." Kyuubi stated. "The last problem is this I won't be able to give you chakra while I'm doing this without reprocussions."

"Okay." Naruto said. "I guess I'll have to make due."

"Fine then." Kyuubi said. "Better wake up then."

A red flash of light blinded Naruto, and his eyes opened to the blue sky, just in time to hear a pained yell.

Earlier:

Sakura sighed as she looked over her teammates prone bodies, still asleep but at least not in pain anymore.

She looked around to see no enemies heading toward her, and laid back on the ground, distraught.

The tension was killing her, waiting for Naruto and Sasuki to wake up, while also fearing that someone would show up, and take their scrolls and/or kill them before then.

Eventually, the sound team did come, and unfortunately, neither Naruto or Sasuki was awake for it.

They got caught by one of the traps, the one with the exploding log, but the mummy looking one blew it apart before it could go off.

"Hello there." One of the ninja drawled. "Where's Sasuki?"

"Asleep." Sakura snarked, trying to let as little fear creep into her voice as possible. "You can wait, but girls don't go with the clingy type."

"Heh!" The girl of the team snorted. "Girl thinks she can mouth off in a situation like this."

"Trust me dear," The mummy said. "You don't want to say anything you might regret. We are far beyond your level."

"Then come on," Sakura taunted. "Kick my ass. Just don't be surprised when my teammates wake up and beat you into a bloody puddle."

"Really?" The third sound nin said, shaking his head and smirking. "I'm pretty sure I'll kill them after we kill you."

"Don't count on it." Sakura said, making seals for the chakra scapels.

"Ah." The mummy said. "Chakra scapels, you're a medic nin aren't you?"

"Glad you noticed." Sakura said, before charging at them.

She knew was boned even if it wasn't three on one, but she thought this would be better than dying doing nothing.

She swung at the ninja, intending to make them back off, but only the kunoichi lept back, and not very far at that.

The boy with holes in his hands swung at Sakura, who narrowly dodged it, only to be blown back by a blast of air from his hands.

"Fuck!" Sakura cried as she hit the floor.

The three ninja quickly closed in on her and held her down on the ground.

Sakura tried to shake them off, but getting her head stomped into the dirt quickly stopped that.

"An admirable attempt from the medic, but not enough." The mummy mocked, drawing a kunai. "But don't feel too bad, you never had a chance."

Sakura closed her eyes, unable to stare her death in the face, knowing that her teammates would come with her soon.

"Dynamic Entry!"

A green blur slammed into the dogpile, sending the sound nin flying.

"Wha?" Sakura said in confusion.

"Three on one is most unfair!" A bold voice called out. "And murdering for no reason is no way to represent your village!"

Sakura looked up at her savior, a boy dressed entirely in green spandex.

"Who the hell are you?!" Zaku snapped. "And what are you doing here?!"

"My name is Rock Lee!" The boy said. "And I plan to stop you from killing my fellow leaf nin!"

"Why help me?" Sakura asked. "You aren't on our team."

"But you are of our village." Lee replied. "And no Konoha ninja would let his friends die if he can help it."

Lee sprung into action, leaping across the clearing and kicking Dosu in the gut.

From there, a wild and chaotic battle occurred, Lee's speed and strength dominating the sound nin at first.

Unfortunately, it only took one shot from Dosu's attack to severely disorient him.

He was forced to use his Primary Lotus to take out just one of the sound nin, only for that to be foiled as well.

Just like that, Sakura was on her own again.

She tried everything, from exploding tags the team got from Karin's teammates to the academy three techniques, nothing worked.

However, the timely arrival of Team 10 stopped her death right in time yet again.

Sakura was never more thankful of her rival popping out of nowhere.

The situation got even better when Ino possessed on the sound nin and held her hostage.

However, the sound nin's willingness to injure their own teammates and general ingenuity gave them the upper hand yet again.

That is until Lee's teammates came a knocking.

"No one wails on our teammates and gets away with it!" Neji snapped, before noticing a dark energy with his byakugan.

"Someone thinks they're tough shit." Zaku mocked.

"Stop acting cool and come down here then." Dosu taunted.

"Actually, I think this fight just got taken out of our hands." Neji stated.

Dosu blinked in confusion, not knowing what he meant by that, until he felt a huge surge of chakra and killing intent behind him.

Everyone's eyes were drawn at the sudden plume of purple chakra coming from Sasuki, who was slowly getting up.

"Sasuki!" Sakura nearly cried in relief, a bright smile on her face as she began to rush over to her.

Though it was quick to disappear as she shot her a particularly harsh glare, one that was a very far cry from the stoic, 'I'm too cool to feel emotion' face she usually had.

Even more shocking was the flame-like markings covering half of her face, and the purple aura she was emitting.

"Sakura..." Sasuki spoke. "Who did that to you?"

"S-Sasuki?" Sakura stammered. "What happened to you?"

"Don't worry." Sasuki said. "It's only the power flowing through me...actually, I've never felt better..."

Shikamaru immediately ran for cover. "Ino! Get back in your body!" He called out frantically. "Choji! Get over here too!"

Neither needed to be told twice.

"Sakura..." Sasuki spoke. "Who did that to you?"

Dosu, who was more aware of Orochimaru's secret seals, backed up slowly, suddenly remembering Sakura's warning, and not wanting to feel the Uchiha's wrath.

Zaku however, was ignorant of the seal, and far more rash. "That would be us." Zaku said arrogantly.

"Zaku, you idiot!" Dosu rasped as Sasuki turned on her sharingan and glared at them.

"What?" Zaku smirked, holding out his hands. "Don't tell me you're scared of this bitch? She just got up from fighting Orochimaru! We're just finishing the job! Super Sonic Waves!"

What could only be described as a bladed shock wave leveled the entire clearing, when the attack ended, nothing of Team 7 could be seen.

"Heh." Zaku smirked smugly. "Blew them all away."

"Not quite."

Zaku's head whipped around in shock, only to be punched in the face with enough force to send him flying into a tree, when he got back up, his nose was dripping with blood.

Sasuki looked upon her bloodied hand with a smile, as if pleasantly surprised by her own strength, turning around to Sakura, who had just registered that she was carried out of the way of the attack.

"Such speed..." Dosu gaped. "Such strength..."

"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower!" Sasuki roared, shooting a huge barrage of fireballs at Zaku.

Zaku immediately tried to blow away the flames, only for them to reveal shuriken.

Zaku leapt back desperately to avoid the shuriken, but was immediately knocked back to the ground by Sasuki, her increased speed still very apparent.

Zaku tried to get back up, only to be stomped back to the ground and get his arm grabbed.

"Those hands seem..." Sasuki drawled. "quite dangerous...I'm afraid...I'll have to...'disarm' you"

"What..." Zaku gasped. "What are you doing?!"

CRACK!

A agonized scream could be heard across the forest as Zaku's arm bent unnaturally sat the seams.

Sakura was frozen, Sasuki's new strength and attitude unlike anything she had seen.

She was about to get up and calm her down when she noticed something moving beside her.

Turning around, she saw Naruto getting up as well.

"Mas-Naruto!" Sakura wailed, barely managing to catch her slip. "Something's up with Sasuki!"

"What?" Naruto stated, still somewhat groggy.

That is, until he saw Sasuki in the middle of breaking someone's arm.

"What the..." Naruto gasped. "Sasuki!"

"Hm?" Sasuki looked over. "Ah, you woke up."

"What are you doing?!" Naruto yelped.

"These guys were going to kill us," Sasuki said nonchalantly. "But I'm talking them out of it."

"Sasuki!" Naruto snapped, getting up quickly. "Something's wrong with your chakra!"

"I know..." Sasuki said with a dark grin. "But I feel so much stronger with it."

"You dumbass!" Naruto roared. "Don't you remember that the guy that gave you that thing tried to kill you?!"

Sasuki actually paused at that, calming down to get her head straight, as she did so, the marks started receding back into her neck.

A strong pain from said made her drop Zaku and drop onto the floor, writhing in pain.

"Sasuki" Both her teammates squealed, rushing toward her.

Naruto held her up, while Sakura used the mystic palm technique to relieve some strain in her body.

After a while, her breathing calmed down enough to speak. "What the hell happened?"

"That monster gave you and Naruto marks on your neck." Sakura said.

"Mine didn't go off," Naruto said. "But yours did."

"Why?" Sasuki snapped, irritated that she went crazy and he didn't.

"I'll explain later." Naruto replied. "For now we still have one more sound nin to fight."

Naruto gave a dirty look at Dosu, who immediately raised his hands in fear.

"I know when I'm beat." Dosu said. "I can't take everyone here on. Just let me leave."

Naruto blinked, noticing that two other teams of Konoha were around.

Sakura, on the other hand, was giving Dosu a nigh-homicidal glare. "The hell you are! You think you can beat up our friends and threaten our lives...and just leave?!"

Dosu placed a scroll on the ground. "I'll give you this, take it and let us go."

"We already have the scrolls we need." Naruto snarled.

Dosu took a step back. "Well, I have nothing else of value."

Naruto would've demanded that he'd leave the girl, but that would look really sketchy in front of the others.

And other than that, he couldn't really think of anything of value.

"You owe them for sparing you here." Neji said suddenly. "That should be proper payment."

Naruto mulled it over and stated. "Yeah, that should do. Now get out of here before I change my mind."

Dosu gave a sigh of fresh air, picked up his teammates and ran as fast as he could.
