9. Preview Chapter
As the feathers began falling Naruto rose his right hand and purple flames appeared on his fingertips before he disappeared. Gaara's eyes widened as he folded over the blonde's hand and lost conciousness.
As he did, enemy nin dropped their disguises only to be brought down by senbon needles thrown by a figure who darted through mirrors that had appeared all around the arena in an instant.
"Gaara!" Temari yelled out in fear for her brother as she and Kankoru rushed towards the two.
Naruto took out two kunai from his pouch and sent them spinning end over end at the two. The two kunai missed them by the barest of margins before swinging around the two sand shinobi and wrapping them in the chakra strings that had been connected to their middles. Naruto made a fist and yanked on the strings sending the two flying before suddenly stopping as Naruto intercepted their flight paths with half fisted hands inn their stomachs knocking the two out as well. Naruto then spun and thrust out his arm sending a huge blast of wind out slamming into the sand trio's Jounin sensei who had tried to sneak up on the blond. The man shot across the arena and impacted the far wall before falling over unconscious.
Naruto turned his head to Sasuke who had stood frozen during all this and said "Oi, Uchiha! Get your act together and go meet up with Uncle Kakashi!"
Sasuke shook his head before jumping up into the arena seating to find his Jounin sensei.
Scene Change: Village Wall
Three large clouds of smoke suddenly appeared in the forest outside of the forest as war cries sounded. The clone that faced the left and right snakes both took out a vial that contained blood and poured the contents onto their palms before taking out a pill and popping it into their mouths. The two then jumped off the wall while they ran through hand signs.
As cries of "Summoning Jutsu!" rang out, two more large clouds of smoke appeared before dispersing and revealing the blondes standing on top of two of the big three. As the two clones looked across the distance to each other they pulled out kunai and held them in a reverse grip and nodded to each other before disappearing into the forest.
Scene Change: Roof Over Kage Seating Box
Orochimaru and Sarutobi were staring each other down as they were surrounded by a purple box barrier.
"KuKuKu, Oh, how I've waited for this day. Soon you'll be dead sensei and the Leaf village shall burn!"
Sarutobi smirked and said "There's just one problem with that plan of yours Orochimaru."
Orochimaru cocked his head and gained a creepy smile as he said "Oh, and what's that sensei?"
Sarutobi's smirk turned evil as he said "I'm not your sensei." before being covered in smoke revealing Naruto.
"WHAT?" Orochimaru shouted out. "But if you're here, than where is he?"
Naruto smirked as he took off his coat revealing a sleeveless shirt and said "Right where he needs to be leading his people. You see Orochimaru, the Hokage decided that his time would be better spent elsewhere so he had me take his place. You should feel honored, you'll be the first person see me earn my name of the Flash Fire."
Right after Naruto finished speaking, the sound of fingers snapping sounded as Naruto shot his right arm to the side and it became coated in fire.
Orochimaru's eyes narrowed dangerously before his sick smile returned and he said "You are thirty years too young to be trying to go against me you brat! Still, you should provide some entertainment I suppose. I was planning on having Kabuto summon her when he fought you but I think I prefer summoning her alongside the others."
Naruto's eyes narrowed and he said "What nonsense are you talking about you snake?"
Orochimaru's grin became even sicker as he ran through hand signs and called out "Forbidden Art: Impure World Ressurection!"
Naruto's eyebrow rose as four caskets rose from a black portal. The caskets lids then opened revealing their contents and Naruto's eyes widened before narrowing as he growled out "You bastard."
