I don't own Naruto or Negima.
Thoughts will be italicized.
Inner Sakura or demonic voices will be italicized and bold.
Before I get into the chapter I would like to answer some reviews.
To an anonymous reviewer: The characters I'm using from Negima are not as over powered as you think. They were just able to take their opponents by surprise because they didn't know what they were capable of. To answer the question about how they deal with the extraction of a bijuu from the host, you'll have to read both this chapter and the next one. Oh and one final thing. If you don't like my story DON"T READ IT!
Yuri-Hime-Chan: Thank you for the reminder about Mana's close quarter's combat ablilities. To answer your question about Sasuke's power trip, I took it out because when he woke up there were no enemies around. That meant to me that there was no need for it.
MasterBratten: The girl in Naruto's dream was not Zazie. I've already said that I would like to put her with Shino if anyone at all in this story.
Akuma-Heika: Negi and a few of the other girls will make an appearance in a few chapters, but that's all I'm going to say about it.
Prelims Part 1
Chao stood with her team amongst the other eight teams that made it past the second part of the Chunin Exams.
All nine teams were standing in a huge arena like room. It had two balconies on two of the walls with individual stairs leading up to them. On the back wall was a carving of two hands making a ninja hand sign. In front of the hands were the senseis of each team that passed along with the proctors of the previous parts of the exam and the Hokage, who was giving a speech at the moment about the true meaning of the Chunin Exams.
Chao wasn't listening to the speech because she was thinking back to what had happened three days ago.
(Flashback)
Ibiki lead them through a complex series of corridors before they arrived at a wooden door. Ibiki knocked on the door as soon as they reached it.
The group waited a few seconds before they heard a click from the other side of the door.
Ibiki then pushed the door open and lead them inside. The room Ibiki had led them to was a very familiar one to Chao. It was the one that her and her friends had come to when they arrived in this dimension, the Hokage's office.
The Hokage looked at them before he turned to Ibiki "Care to explain why you brought your team to my office using the ANBU tunnels when they're supposed to be taking the Chunin Exams."
"They told me something very disturbing. It seems that Orochimaru has somehow managed to infiltrate our village and attacked Kakashi's team inside the forest," Ibiki told the Hokage with a lot of concern and worry in his voice.
The Hokage silently cursed "Ibiki, I want you to bring Kakashi and Anko her with their teams as soon as possible."
Ibiki nodded and quickly left the room through the door they had come in.
After Ibiki left the Hokage looked to Zazie "While we're waiting for the others to get here could you answer a few questions for me?"
She nodded hesitantly.
"I just want to know how long it would take for you to extract a piece of your grandmother from someone and what would happen to that person afterwards?" he asked her.
She turned to Chao and whispered in her ear for about ten minutes.
Chao's eyes grew wide as she listened to her. After Zazie was done Chao just stared at her. She then turned to the Hokage "She says it takes six hours to perform the extraction ritual, but the person has to be held down because of how painful it is. She also says that after the piece of her grandmother is removed they'll become a half-demon, because it will only remove her grandmother's soul and not her Chakra. And since demon Chakra is poisonous to living creatures the ritual partially turns the person into a demon so that the Chakra wont kill them."
The Hokage closed his eyes for a few seconds before he opened them again "If the person who went through this ritual manifested a demon-like appearance, could she teach them how to hide it?"
Zazie smiled as she nodded.
The Hokage returned her smile "Alright, I believe by the end of the day you'll have the first piece of your grandmother."
At that moment Ibiki walked in followed by Kakashi, a bandaged Anko, and their teams.
"What happen Anko-sensei?" Ku asked with a look of concern.
"I just had some bad luck with a snake" she replied with a depressed look on her face.
The Hokage frowned "I wish you hadn't gone after him by yourself Anko."
"I'm sorry, but I had to go after him to find out why he's here and to try to stop him if I could" she told him with a determined look on her face.
"Were you able to learn anything from your confrontation with him?" he asked her with a raised eyebrow.
"Only that he attacked the Uchiha," she said as she glanced at Sasuke when he reached for his neck.
"You're all talking about Orochimaru, aren't you?" Sakura said as she looked from Sasuke to Anko to the Hokage and back.
The Hokage sighed, "Yes we are and that's why you've all been brought here. I want to know everything that happened in the forest."
After that all three teams recounted their time in the forest. Team Seven told them of their encounter with Orochimaru, while Ibiki and Anko's teams told of how they combined forces to get the scrolls needed.
It was about ten minutes after the three teams had finished their tales before the Hokage spoke "Kakashi, take Sasuke and Sakura back to the tower. I'll be along shortly to help with the sealing of the Curse Mark."
Kakashi nodded before he led both Sasuke and Sakura out through the secret door.
After they left the Hokage got up from behind his desk and walked around it until he was in front of Naruto "Naruto, could you lift up your shirt so I can see where Orochimaru hit you?"
When Naruto lifted up his shirt like the Hokage asked, the Hokage bent down to look at the seal on his stomach. "Hmm…it seems he used a Five Pronged Seal on you. Thankfully I know the counter seal. Naruto, I want you to hold still while I do this," he said as the fingertips of his right hand began to glow blue. He then quickly shoved his fingertips into Naruto's stomach.
Naruto gasped out in pain as he felt the Hokage's fingers jam into his stomach.
When the Hokage removed his fingers from Naruto's stomach the five extra seals were gone. He then stood up and gave Naruto a smile before he looked at Anko and Ibiki "I want you two to take Naruto along with both of your teams to Seal Room Eight. Chao and Zazie will explain why when you get there." He then led them out of his office through the secret door.
(End Flashback)
Someone shaking her shoulder roused Chao from her thoughts. She turned and looked to see that it was Ku "What?"
Ku pointed to the crowd of adults in front of them "Hokage speech done."
She looked back towards the adults and saw a very sickly looking man standing there looking at all of them.
"Its good to meet everyone. I'm Hayate Gekko, the proctor of the third exam. Before we start the next part of the exam I have to ask you to do something for me. Due to so many teams passing the second exam we need to have a some preliminaries before we proceed to the next exam. Whether you make it to the main exam depends on how you do during these exams" Hayate told them stopping a few times when he started to cough.
"Master Hayate …I don't understand what you mean by preliminaries. Why can't all of the remaining applicants just proceed directly to the next exam?" Sakura asked off to the side slightly concerned.
"Simply put, there are still to many of you left. We can't have our honored guest for the next exam sitting through hours and hours of matches. For the preliminaries and the third exam you will no longer be competing as a team, but as individuals. So now that you know is there anyone who doesn't want to continue?" Hayate explained as he scanned the teens before him.
A white haired boy with glasses and a ponytail raised his hand "Well, I guess that means me. I don't think I can continue."
Hayate looked at his clipboard "Kabuto Yakushi of Konoha? You can go." He then looked at the rest of the teens "Anyone else want to leave?"
When no one answered he gave a slight smile "We'll now begin the preliminaries which will consist of individual combat matches as if this was a tournament. There is a total of twenty-six individuals left, which means we'll have a total of thirteen bouts. Victors will be advanced to the third exam. These are no-holds barred fights that will go until someone dies, is knocked unconscious, or gives up. Proctors will step in if we feel that there is an undisputed winner. We will determine the matches randomly with this" he turned slightly and pointed at the wall behind him.
Everyone watched as a panel on the wall slide open to reveal an electronic scoreboard. After a few seconds it started to flash through names before stopping on 'Sakura Haruno vs. Chao Lingshen'.
Hayate turned back to the teams "Will the two combatants come forward. The rest of you can watch from the balconies."
Chao walked forward and stood in front of Hayate.
As Sakura started to walk forward she was stopped briefly by Naruto who put his hand on her shoulder. He gave her a sad smile "I'll remember you always and put flowers on your grave every year."
She looked at him confused before continuing forward to stand next to Chao.
Hayate looked at he two girls "Sakura Haruno, Chao Lingshen, do you have any objections with fighting each other?"
Both girls shook their heads before they turned towards each other.
Hayate waited for everyone to get to the balconies before turning to the girls again "All right, Begin!"
"Naruto told me how you've treated him in school and on your team. I don't like it when people hurt my brother and that's all you've done to him the whole time you've known him. Even though you didn't want to go out with him you could've at least still tried to be his friend, but no. You had to hit him and degrade him every time he was around you. I'm going to make you pay for everything that you've done to harm him. Oh and by the way, I still remember the agreement that you and I made during the second exam. I'll still train you after this, but I'm going to show you what you should be capable of if you had been training this whole time instead of fawning over some emo with a huge ego" Chao told her with a lot of anger in her eyes.
Sakura flinched and took a step back "I-I'm s-sorry. I-I'll t-try to be k-kinder to h-him."
"Oh, you wont be trying. You WILL be kinder to him or I'll making your training so difficult that Anko and Ibiki would have nightmares about it" Chao told her as an evil grin appeared on her face.
Sakura paled as she stared at Chao. She then turned to the proctor and started to raise her hand to say that she was going to quit. When her arms were grabbed and shoved behind her back.
Chao leaned in and whispered in her ear "Don't give up so easily. How are you going to find out where you stand as a Kunoichi if you don't test yourself." She then pushed her forward.
After Sakura stumbled forward she turned around rubbing her arms "I don't stand a chance against you. I only know what they taught us at the Academy."
"That's all I've learned too. Besides, you're the one with the advantage. I haven't really had to use what I learned there for two years," Chao told her with a frown.
Sakura stood there thinking, "If she really does only know what the Academy taught us, then we're on even footing."
Inner Sakura tool that moment to speak up "She also said she hasn't used any of her skills for two years. That means we have the advantage with only being out of the Academy for a few months."
Sakura actually agreed with her inner self and got into a basic Academy stance "Alright Chao, let's see if you really were a 'Rookie of the Year' two years ago."
Chao mentally smirked "She actually fell for it. I thought she was smarter that that. Though this gives me a chance to see how capable she really is," Chao thought as she got into a basic Academy stance as well.
After Chao got into her stance Sakura charged towards her as fast as she could. When she was right in front of Chao she aimed a punch at her face.
Chao dodged the punch easily and aimed a kick at Sakura's side.
Sakura put her arm up to block the kick that she knew she wouldn't be able to dodge. When the kick connected with Sakura's arm it pushed her to the side a few feet.
Sakura winced as she rubbed her arm. She then looked at Chao with a confused look on her face. She then attacked Chao again throwing punches and kicks at random trying to hit her.
Chao dodged everything she threw at her. As she was dodging a smile started to play on her lips. "I thought you were better than this Sakura. You're fighting like a first year Academy student," she said as she taunted her opponent.
Sakura turned red with anger and attacked Chao with even less focus than before.
Chao sighed as she continued to easily dodge the attacks. After a few minutes of this she noticed that Sakura was getting tired. She decided that it was time to stop the fight. She waited until she saw an opening, then quickly rushed in and landed a series of blows on Sakura's body and head.
Sakura realized to late that Chao had lied to her about not having kept up with her training. She was able to block a couple of the punches that Chao aimed at her, but was unable to stop the rest. As she began to lose consciousness she thought, "I'm going to have to ask if she was serious about training me when I wake up."
Hayate shook his head as he watched Chao finished her fight against Sakura. "That pink haired girl didn't stand a chance against that Chao girl," he thought as he stepped forward and raised his hand "I'm calling the fight. The winner is Chao Lingshen"
When Chao heard Hayate start talking she stopped he assault on Sakura. After she heard him declare her the winner she turned back to Sakura who was on the floor unconscious. She then knelt down and threw one of Sakura's arms over her shoulder. Then she picked her up and carried her up the stairs to the balcony where their teams were waiting.
Chao lay Sakura against the wall behind Sakura's teammates.
"You held back didn't you sis" Naruto asked Chao as she stood up.
Chao snorted, "Yeah, I wanted to see if she actually had any potential as a Kunoichi. What she showed me down there was that she does have potential. It will take a lot of work for her, but if she does start training she could become as good as Anko."
Chao then walked to the railing to stand with everyone else as they awaited the pairing for the next round.
They all watched as the board started to flash through names. It stopped showing the names of the next round 'Sasuke Uchiha vs. Tsurugi Misumi'.
Off to the side they saw Sasuke smirk as he thought "Probably just some loser."
Sasuke then jumped the railing to get to the arena floor.
He was joined on the arena floor by an older boy wearing a veil across his mouth and glasses.
Hayate looked between the two opponents before he gave them the signal to start.
Tsurugi went on the offensive first. He charged at Sasuke and aimed a punch towards his head.
Sasuke blocked the punch easily, but was caught off guard when Tsurugi's arm started to spiral around his. In an instant Tsurugi had managed to snake his entire body around Sasuke's like an anaconda. Tsurugi then proceeded to constrict his arm around Sasuke's neck until everyone heard a snap.
When that happened Tsurugi was engulfed in a puff of smoke. As the smoke cleared it showed that Tsurugi was actually wrapped around what looked like a piece of stone.
At the moment the smoke cleared a dozen shurikens and kunai with ninja wire struck all around Tsurugi's surprised form. This was followed by the yell of "Katon – Ryuuka no Jutsu." Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Sasuke in the air with a mouth full of ninja wire. Then they watched at flames traveled down the wires to the ground, where the flames engulfed Tsurugi.
When Sasuke landed he smirked as he watched his opponent writhe in pain from being burned.
Hayate stepped forward and raised his hand "This match is over. The winner is Sasuke Uchiha."
After Hayate declared the winner a group of medics came in and put out the flames covering Tsurugi. After they were done they put him on a stretcher to take him away to be treated for his burns.
Sasuke ignored what was happening to his opponent when he was declared the winner of the match. As he walked up the stairs of the balcony he was thinking, "My opponent was so weak I didn't even work up a sweat. I hope I get a better challenge during the third part of the exam."
Most of the other Konoha Genins looked at Sasuke with apprehension, because he had a look of enjoyment on his face when he burned Tsurugi.
When Sasuke joined his team on the balcony he leaned on the railing to look out over the arena, while ignoring everyone else.
After the medics had taken Tsurugi's body away for treatment and removed the stone from the arena the electronic board started to flash trough names. The board stopped showing 'Ku Fei vs. Dosu'.
Ku smiled when she saw her name come up on the board.
Just before she jumped over the railing Chao grabbed her arm. She leaned in and whispered in her ear "Be careful Ku. He was one of the enemy Genins that was after my brother and Sasuke. Try and finish this quickly."
Ku looked at he and smiled "I no lose to him. I promise," she told her before she jumped over the railing and joined her opponent on the arena floor.
Hayate looked between the two opponents before he said "Begin!"
Ku charged at her opponent and swung a punch at him with her right hand aimed at his stomach.
Dosu smirked when he saw the girl start to punch him with her right hand. Just before the punch would've hit him he blocked with his left arm and swung his right arm at her head channeling Chakra into his gauntlet and aiming the sound waves towards her left ear.
When Ku's opponent blocked her punch and went to try and counter punch her in her head she ducked but she immediately felt like she had vertigo. "What you do to me?" she asked as she jumped back to try and regain her balance.
"All I did was send a Chakra infused sound blast into your ear," he told her in a cold manner. "You wont win this fight. I use sound and it travels faster than anyone could ever move. There's no way you'll be able to beat me," he continued while taunting her and letting his arm with the sound gauntlet hang out.
Ku took the cloth off of the back of her dress and pulled it tight between her hands. "I need to somehow damage or destroy that gauntlet on his arm," she thought as she regained her balance and stared at Dosu's right arm.
Hinata watched the fight and was confused when she saw Ku take the piece of cloth off of the back of her dress. She turned to Chao, who was standing right next to her, and asked "W-why d-did she t-take t-that c-cloth o-off her b-back?"
Chao looked at her and smiled "She's going to use it as a weapon. It's called a cloth spear and I've only seen her fight using one a few times."
Hinata turned to watch the fight again "I wonder how she's going to fight with it?"
Ku charged at Dosu again, but this time she stopped about three feet away from him. She then threw one end of her cloth spear at Dosu's gauntlet.
Dosu was completely caught off guard when she aimed for his gauntlet and was unable to stop her attack.
Ku's cloth spear wrapped around the gauntlet. She then yanked on it with all of her strength, which pulled Dosu off of his feet and sent him flying towards her. She let go of the cloth when she saw her opponent coming at her. Just before Dosu would've slammed into her, she punched him in the stomach. She hit him so hard that he was sent flying backwards and slammed into the wall.
Hayate watched as Dosu's unconscious body fall down off from the wall before he turned to Ku "Ku is the winner."
Ku then walked off the arena floor as a group of medics came to take Dosu away to the infirmary. When she got up to the top of the balcony and rejoined her teammates she reattached the cloth to the back of her dress.
The Genins then all turned to look at the electronic board to see who would be in the next match. The board finally stopped on the names 'Kiba Inuzuka vs. Kotaro Inugami'.
Kotaro turned to Anko "How much can I use against him?"
"I'll let you know as the match progresses," she told him with a grin on her face.
He gave her a thumbs up before he ran down the stairs to the arena floor.
Kiba watched the exchange between his opponent and his sensei. He didn't understand what they were saying, but he didn't really care. He knew he was better than him because he was older and had been a Genin for a few months, not the week that his opponent had been.
As Kiba joined his opponent on the arena floor he took Akamaru off of his head and sat him on the ground next to him.
Hayate looked between the two opponents before he told them to begin.
"This is going to be an easy win for me" Kiba told his opponent.
"Why do you say that?" Kotaro asked.
"Because I have more training and experience than you, so I'm obliviously going to win this. Plus I have Akamaru to help me" Kiba said with a smirk.
"I wouldn't be so confident about your companion being able to help you in this fight" Kotaro told Kiba while pointing next to him where Akamaru was.
Kiba turned to look at Akamaru and noticed that he was shaking very badly. He then turned back to Kotaro "What did you do to Akamaru?"
"I didn't do anything to him" Kotaro said with a shrug, while thinking "The poor little guy's probably finally caught a good whiff of my demonic scent."
"Fine. I'll beat you with out him" Kiba growled before he got down on all fours "Ninja Art of Beast Mimicry! Shikyaku no Jutsu!" After he said that his eyes became slitted, his canine teeth elongated, and his fingernails sharpened.
When Anko saw Kiba do his Beast Mimicry Technique she smiled "Kotaro! Show him your version of the Beast Mimicry!"
Kurenai and the other members of Team Eight all looked at Anko when they heard her yell that to her student.
"What do you mean he has his own version of the Beast Mimicry? That's an Inuzuka Clan Jutsu. There's no way he could even be able to copy it" Kurenai told Anko trying to hide the confusion in her voice.
"Let's just say Kotaro is more in tune with his inner canine than your student could ever hope to be. So watch and learn," Anko replied with a huge grin on her face.
When Kotaro heard Anko, he smiled as he revealed his ears and tail while extending his claws.
Kiba charged towards Kotaro like a wild animal. He was low to the ground and running on all fours as he headed towards him.
Kotaro didn't try to move as Kiba charged at him.
Just before Kiba would've slammed into him, Kotaro dodged out of the way. This forced Kiba to stopped his charge and start looking around for his opponent. When he found him, his opponent was crouched down next to Akamaru and looked like he was whispering something into his ear. After a few seconds Akamaru looked from Kotaro to Kiba before he ran over to him.
"What did you do to him?" Kiba asked him as Akamaru stopped next to him.
"I just told him that you are going to need his help if you want to win" Kotaro told him with a smirk.
Kiba growled when he heard that. "If that's how you want it, fine" he replied as he threw a pill into Akamaru's mouth and then swallowed one himself.
After Akamaru swallowed the pill his fur turned red and he jumped onto Kiba's back.
"Art of Beast Mimicry – Jujin Bushin" Kiba yelled out at the same time as Akamaru barked. There was a puff of smoke and as it cleared it revealed two Kiba's, with one standing on the back of the other. The two Kiba's then lunged at Kotaro, they were moving faster than Kiba had when he first attacked him. Their attacks against Kotaro were synchronized, barely giving him any time to dodge.
"Looks like your Genin's in trouble. It was a stupid move he made letting Akamaru help Kiba" Kurenai told Anko with a smile.
"Yeah, he's got some stupid honor streak that I'm trying to force him out of" Anko replied with a frown.
"It's sad that he's going to lose this match now" Kurenai grinned while glancing at Anko and her team.
"He not out of this yet. He just needs an opening and he'll finish it" Anko said with a smirk as she continued to watch the match without blinking.
"I doubt that. Kiba and Akamaru won't give him any openings," Kurenai told her with confidence.
"Are you sure? Would you like to make a beat?" Anko asked her.
"I don't see why not. I'm bound to win it, so what will you wager" Kurenai asked her with a shrug.
"If Kotaro wins you'll let me train your Genin's for one month" Anko told her.
"All right, and if Kiba wins you'll let me train your Genin's for one month" Kurenai countered.
Anko turned to her and stuck out her hand "Deal."
Kurenai shook her hand "Deal."
After a few seconds of dodging the two Kiba's attacks Kotaro quickly put his hands together and yelled "Eight Shadow Splitting Technique". In an instant a cloud of smoke engulfed Kotaro. When it cleared there were eight Kotaro's grinning at the two Kiba's?
"You wont beat me with a move like that" one of the Kiba's said to the group of Kotaro's before both of them charged the group and started to twist their bodies yelling "Man-Beast Ultimate Jutsu – Gatsuuga!" Both of the Kiba's bodies started to spin so fast that they looked like two huge drills.
Kotaro frowned when he saw the attack coming. He sent all of his doubles to try and block the attack while he jumped out of the way.
After Kiba's attack destroyed his doubles without stopping they changed direction and headed towards Kotaro again.
When Kotaro saw the attack come towards him again he summoned his shadow wolves and tried to have them stop Kiba's attack.
When Kotaro summoned his wolves from the shadows Shikamaru's eyes widened in surprise "How did he do that with the shadows? I've never heard of anyone being able to do that, not even my father. Who is this Kotaro? It's as if he's from both the Nara and Inuzuka Clan's. How is that even possible?"
As Kotaro's shadow wolves slammed into the two Kiba's attack it covered the entire arena in smoke.
After the smoke cleared it revealed Kotaro standing in a defensive stance and a ragged Kiba standing next to an unconscious Akamaru.
Kiba not willing to give up charged at Kotaro aiming a punch towards his head.
Kotaro shook his head as Kiba charged him. He ducked under Kiba's punch before he quickly slammed his fist into Kiba's stomach.
Kiba's eyes widened in shock before he passed out from the wind being knocked out of him.
When Kurenai saw Kotaro knock Kiba out she frowned. She then turned to Anko who was smiling at her "I guess you win the bet. Though I really thought that Kiba would've won that fight."
"Well that's what happens when you don't have all the facts before hand," Anko told her as they both turned back to the arena floor.
Hayate stepped forward raising his hand "Winner Kotaro Inugami!"
After Kotaro heard this he picked up Kiba and threw him over his shoulder. He then walked over to Akamaru's unconscious body and picked it up before walking up the stairs to the balcony where both of their teams waited.
When Kotaro got next to their teams he put Kiba and Akamaru down against the wall. He then turned to Anko and smiled "How was that Anko-sensei?"
Anko looked at him and frowned "It was going good until you did that honorable thing and talked Akamaru into helping Kiba. How many times have I told you to stop doing things like that?" she said as she slapped the back of his head.
"Ow!" Kotaro replied as he rubbed the back of his head.
At that moment Shikamaru walked up to them "Kotaro, I was wondering if I could talk to you about those shadow wolves you created?"
Kotaro looked at him confused "Sure, but can it wait until after the prelims? I would like to see how everyone else does."
"Yeah, do you mind if I have my father there also?" Shikamaru asked him.
Anko stepped into the conversation at that moment "That won't be a problem, but I'll have to be there. Though we should also include Kiba and his mother for the conversation."
Shikamaru nodded "That would probably be for the best." He then walked back over to his teammates to think about how Kotaro used the abilities that he did.
Kotaro looked at Anko "Do you know why he wanted to talk to me about the shadow wolves?"
Anko sighed, "The abilities you displayed during your fight against Kiba are those of two different clans from Konoha. The Inuzuka, which Kiba is from, and the Nara, which Shikamaru is from. The Nara's fight by controlling shadows so that they can immobilize their opponents and you saw how the Inuzuka's fight in your match against Kiba. So you can see why Shikamaru wanted to talk to you, right."
Kotaro nodded before they both turned to see who would be fighting in the next match.
