Uzumaki Naruto Chronicles Rewrite
Chapter 31
Forest Of Death
AFTER CAREFUL DELIBERATION I CHANGED THE LAST CHAPTER CHAPTER 30 PLEASE GO REREAD!
Author's notes: Special thanks to Danny vs a Month, nightwind83, Rose Tiger, and luisdox for their reviews. To the guest reviewer asking about other pairings, you will see some continue to develop as the story goes on. Anko Kakashi will be big, I will continue with Itachi and Hanara as well. Temari and Shikamaru will be present as well. As for other pairings I am taking suggestions. However it will take time to develop them I will develop them in that time. However that being said while other pairings will be present the story is going to be centered on Naruto and Hinata, and how they repair their broken relationship.
Anko burst through the window and shouted "I am your second proctor!"
Naruto, Shikamaru, and Hinata all sweatdropped, Anko in charge of an exam meant hell was on the way.
Anko grinned at the three of them, "Oh! I see you three made it through Ibiki's test, now that I look at you all, can't help but see that a lot of you passed."
She turned to Ibiki, "You're getting soft in your old age Ibiki."
Ibiki laughed at her, "Anko, how much you have to learn." He liked Anko, she worked for him in the TI division. She was an up and coming star of the division at that. She was pretty messed up. Word was, Orochimaru had her for years, doing who knows what to her. He shook his head. She came out of it messed up, but she was a good person, and if you actually gained her trust, and her friendship, you wouldn't find someone more loyal. Kakashi was a lucky man, to have her.
Anko took the ones who passed the first exam down with her to the forest of death. She handed out waivers to everyone and explained the exam, "Alright maggots listen up, you will each get a scroll, either a heaven scroll or an earth scroll, your objective is to get to the tower in the middle with both scrolls. Do not try to fake one, and do not try to open them until you are in the tower. You have 5 days. Good luck."
With that everyone went and got a scroll, Naruto grabbed theirs and sealed it in his arm. With that he and Shikamaru headed to their gate. Kabuto came over to try to talk to Hinata but she just brushed him off ignoring him. He wouldn't back down that easy though and kept at it. Pestering her. Until she finally just walked away.
Shikamaru just laughed, "Easy Naruto, maybe you will get a shot at him later on."
Naruto looked at him, "I can't watch this shit much longer, I am going crazy, if I don't get a shot at him at some point, I will be beyond pissed."
Shikamaru raised an eyebrow, "Aren't you already beyond pissed"
Naruto just glared at him, "Shut up Shikamaru."
Shikamaru laughed at him again, as Hinata finally reached them, Naruto still fuming. Hinata glanced at him.
"What's wrong with Naruto?" Hinata asked, not realizing he had seen her arguing with Kabuto.
"Nothing don't worry about it Hinata." Naruto told her before they got ready for the exam. Naruto got ready stretching slightly.
A flair went off and Naruto and his team sprinted throught the gate. They traveled through the team, Hinata in the middle of the two boys as they jumped through the trees. Hinata found their first team to fight and they jumped down after them, Hinata staying in the trees with her bow out and an arrow knocked. Naruto jumped down and drew Kitsune from his back.
The team was a group of rain ninja. They stared at them wide eyed as Naruto sent fire chakra into his sword, swinging it. A giant fireball shot out of it and scattered the team from rain. Naruto charged the one that seemed to be their leader, he disappeared and reappeared infront of the ninja swinging his sword. The ninja barely got his kunai up to block, Naruto's sword cut through it like butter and into the ninja. Naruto fired off another fireball from his sword blasting the ninja into a tree and knocking him out. Injured and slumped over. Naruto turned to see that Shikamaru had his staff out and had knocked his opponent unconscious. Hinata's opponent had multiple chakra arrows in his joints, stopping him from moving.
Naruto walked over to him, "where is your scroll?"
The ninja looked at him terrified, his squad had just been decimated. "It is in my leader's back pack. Please just take it, leave me alone!"
Naruto grinned, he walked over took it and he and his team left in a hurry, back into the trees.
Naruto turned and looked at his team, "I am impressed you guys put in a lot of work with Kakashi on that training trip huh?"
They both nodded and they continued going, unfortunately they got the same scroll they already had so they continued looking.
The next team they came across was a team from the stone village. Naruto told Shikamaru, and Hinata to attack them head on and Naruto would provide backup but he wanted to see what they could do.
Shikamaru sighed, "Fine, Hinata let's go!"
Hinata jumped down first as Naruto threw Kunai into the battle. The stone shinobi attacked them, but Shikamaru drew his staff and extended it rushing in. Hinata jumped in and attacked the first man with a palm strike. The man was about to dodge when Shikamaru trapped him in a shadow, releasing the shadow right when Hinata hit him, incapacitating him as he dropped. She turned and fired a round house kick at the next man, as Shikamaru hit the other with his staff.
The man dodged Hinata's kick and jumped at her with a kunai, she knocked his hand away and then struck him in the head knocking him out.
Shikamaru hit his opponent another couple times with his staff before tripping him and firing the staff into his head knocking him out.
Naruto dropped down and searched all of them, finding the scroll. He grinned it was the one they needed. He nodded to the other two before shooting into the trees.
They continued to travel until they saw Sasuke's team. They were on a path heading straight for them. They jumped into a clearing and waited.
Sasuke jumped down and laughed. "I didn't think a loser like you could get this far in Naruto."
Naruto laughed, "Sasuke, you know your team can't beat mine. Do you really want to fight?"
Sasuke laughed and charged at Naruto. Naruto started hitting Sasuke. The two started to duke it out, while Kiba jumped down in front of Hinata.
He smirked, "Hinata, I still owe you one for last time."
Hinata shook her head, "Do you really want to fight me? Isn't Shikamaru a better target for you?"
Kiba laughed and charged her. She batted his claws away, and kicked him away, only for Akamaru transformed into Kiba and attacked her as well. Hinata fought hard trying to beat back both of them.
Shikamaru on the other hand fought Sakura, he was not hard pressed to beat her. He knew she was almost as smart as him, but she actually had very little stamina and fighting abilities. Shikamaru grinned and charged her with his staff. She drew two kunai and started fending off his attacks, but he continued spinning the staff at her. Nonstop the spinning staff kept hitting her kunai. He jumped back ran through hand signs and yelled, "Shadow possession jutsu." His shadow shot out and Sakura tried to dodge it but didn't have time. He stood up and she stood infront of him. He charged chakra into his staff extending it and hitting her head with it hard. She dropped to the ground and he laughed.
Shikamaru turned to help Hinata next. She was not faring as well against both Kiba and Akamaru, her clothes were cut up and she was bleeding. But she still wouldn't stop. Shikamaru dashed in and caught Akamaru off guard, batting him away with the staff. Then he jumped back and waited for the right opportunity. Hinata was faring much better now. She tried to sweep his legs but Kiba just jumped back. What Kiba didn't know is that Shikamaru was waiting for him. He jumped right onto Shikamaru's shadow.
Shikamaru stood up, "Shadow possession success." Hinata grinned, Kiba, you are in my range of divination." She go into a stance, "8 trigrams: 32 palms"
Shikamaru dropped his shadow just before Hinata hit Kiba. Hinata hit Kiba over and over, striking many different chakra points. Finally she finished and Kiba dropped down to the ground, unconscious.
Naruto and Sasuke batted at eachother, knocking each other through the forrest with multiple attacks. They were in a clearing, both staring eachother down, when a giant snake crashed through the ground swallowing Naruto whole. While Sasuke was attacked with a giant wind release attack as he flew through the forest going deeper and deeper.
