(A/N) Have you missed me?
"Orochimaru!" Naruto shouted. "I thought I recognized your snakey chakra!"
Orochimaru raised an eyebrow. "You can sense chakra? No matter."
Naruto bristled. He'd been taught sensing by Tobirama freaking Senju, the best sensor from that time. That was not 'no matter!' Unknown whether Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage was better at sensing or not. No way to test, unfortunately.
"Why are you in here?" Sasuke asked, knowing full well they were just stalling for time, hoping that someone picked up the chakra Naruto was putting out.
"Oh, I just want to give you a gift, Sasuke-kun."
The three genin shuddered, shifting so Sasuke was in the back. Naruto shifted into the opening stance of the Bone Crusher style, an Uzumaki taijutsu style that was based entirely around strength and utilized bone-crushing strikes.
"Creeper," Sakura muttered, ears flattening against her head.
"On second thought, I would love to take a look at all three of you, and your Sensei too," Orochimaru purred.
The genin shuddered again, Naruto's tails lashing uncomfortably, and Sasuke's feathers bristling.
"Excuse me if I don't want to be dissected," Sakura muttered, shuddering.
"Most people don't," Orochimaru agreed. "I don't usually give them a choice." His neck elongated, and Sakura shifted into her taijutsu style stance as well.
The battle was short, and Orochimaru's head and neck quickly threw them aside far enough they couldn't reach Sasuke before he bit his neck.
As soon as Naruto saw the bite, he began doing a long string of hand signs, leaping closer to get Orochimaru. "You said you wanted to take a look at us? Take a look at yourself!" He finished on snake, and cried out, "Shinwa-jō no hen'yō jutsu!"
A bright light flashed, and when it faded, Orochimaru had passed out.
Sakura quickly picked Sasuke up, looping his arm over her shoulder. "Naruto, I can't carry him myself, those wings are heavy."
Naruto hurried over, and together, they carried Sasuke towards the tower. They had their scrolls, one from an idiotic Ame team, and the one they had started with. They just had to get to the tower.
When they stopped, Naruto pulled out the fuuinjutsu supplies Mito had sent him off with, because 'there was no way in Kami she was sending her relative off without being able to seal things'. Naruto knew exactly one sealing thing that would work on a person. And Mito had him draw it up a lot of times. It was one that technically was supposed to be a temporary Biju seal, but could seal just about freaking everything. Weird bite marks that spawned seals included.
"This is going to knock me out for a few days," Naruto warned Sakura. "It will seal off whatever that mark is completely though, we'll have to ask Mito-sensei about removing it."
Sakura nodded, quickly beginning to layer genjutsu around the cave they'd found. "And Sasuke?"
"Theoretically, he should awaken before I do. But we'll see." Naruto continued drawing the sealing formula. "Technically, the person sealed should be fine a couple of minutes, or a couple of hours if their physical state is worse. Unfortunately, I dunno what's different between a drawn seal, and one transferred by a bite. We just have to wait."
Sakura nodded as Naruto finished the formula. "If anyone finds us, they won't be glad they did."
Naruto nodded. "Thanks." He placed his hand over the seal. "Hold him down, sit on him, I don't care, just hold him down."
Sakura nodded, plopping herself down on his lower legs, and pinning his wrists to the ground with her hands. Before, she would've been squealing at this opportunity, now she really didn't care. It needed to be done, so she did it.
Naruto began pumping chakra into the sealing formula, the writing everywhere beginning to glow and spiral inwards.
A minute later, it was done, and Naruto barely managed to make it to his bedroll before passing out, his tails draped everywhere. Sakura sighed, but adjusted him, fixing his head so he wasn't face down in the pillow, and moved his tails so they weren't laying haphazardly everywhere. She also dragged a blanket over him, then sat down, preparing for a lonely watch. She put a couple more genjutsu up around the cave, if just to amuse herself, and get them better hidden.
Her watch was disturbed a half a day later, while she was forcing the boys to drink water.
"We know you're there," a male voice rang out across the clearing. Sakura sensed her genjutsu being broken and quickly finished forcing water down Naruto's throat. She stood up, carefully hiding her tail and ears before walking out into the clearing.
"This area was layered in enough genjutsu to fool most genin," Sakura said, frowning at the three sound genin. "Most genin and some chuunin."
"I think you have an over-inflated view of your genjutsu skills," the girl said snidely.
Sakura tilted her head, noticing that one of her genjutsu was still active. "Do I? Maybe you do." She tapped her jaw, disguising a few onehanded hand signs in the motion.
"I don't, I assure you," she replied.
Sakura hummed, sensing the genjutsu take effect. It wouldn't actually come into play for a bit, but it was there. "Alright, why don't you try your best genjutsu, and I'll try mine?" Inner Sakura grinned like a shark, knowing the genjutsu disrupting field was there. It disrupted any genjutsu before they could reach the caster, and affected some ninjutsu as well. The genjutsu was to disguise the chakra manipulation exercise to any sensors. Outer Sakura just smiled guilelessly.
The girl nodded, and the boys didn't try and stop her. Inner Sakura danced in anticipation. Outer Sakura showed nothing.
The genjutsu didn't make it to her. She grinned innocently. "Were you going to do a genjutsu?"
The sound girl looked confused and irritated. "I did," she tried again, and once more, the genjutsu didn't even reach Sakura.
Sakura yawned exaggeratedly. "Were you going to do something?"
The girl was getting frustrated, and Sakura could see it. "I am!"
"Wow, your genjutsu are weak, can't even reach me." Sakura scoffed. "Wanna see one of mine?" She quickly cast the Hell Viewing Technique, the one Kakashi had cast on her all that time ago during the bell test. It clearly scared Kin, as she backpedaled rapidly until her back hit a tree. Sakura scoffed, smirking triumphantly. "Scared now?" She spread the genjutsu to the boys, and Sakura smirked as they rapidly backpedaled. They tried to dispel the genjutsu, but she set up a second genjutsu to activate once the first was broken, and they actually screamed, seeing giant leeches and a few other massive predators stalking towards them.
Sakura smirked as they ran off, re-putting up the genjutsu they had broken.
A groan from behind her made her turn as Sasuke appeared at the entrance to the cave. "Wh-what happened?"
Sakura darted over, all but pushing him back into the cave. "Orochimaru bit you, Naruto sealed the seal that resulted from the bite, and he's still unconscious."
Sasuke's stomach rumbled, and Sakura chuckled, rummaging through her backpack and handing him a ration bar. "Thanks," he murmured, downing it.
(A/N) So, yeah, Naruto learned the jutsu that made them like that and then used it on Orochimaru. This'll be interesting...
