A/N: No I have not given up. This chapter made me really expand on where this story is going. Having some trouble with fight scenes. Any volunteers? This starts to bring thing into the light a little more so enjoy. That's you for all the positive reviews and keep them coming. I won't do any direct responses this time in an effort to get thing out a little sooner.

Warning this will be an MA fic. It will have foul language, blood, gore, attempted rape, probably cold blooded sadistic murder, and most likely lemons and limes.

Chapter 15: First Exams

Training Ground 43

Naruto was beginning to regret the terms of this spar. He had done something he promised himself he would never do: underestimate an opponent. Worse he had done so with Hinata. The agreement was no chakra and he would only remove half his weight and resistance. Hinata removed all her seals and only used chakra for closing tenketsu points. At this point it was less of a spar and more of a lesson on how to be a Juken dummy. While he could still move, all four of his limbs were weakened and made avoiding the final attack Hinata was preparing all but impossible.

"Naruto-kun, I want to show you something me and Anko-chan have been working on for a while now." With that statement Hinata to a stance that looked oddly similar to the Juken but looser. Her hand and wrists were looser, her arms and legs showed less tension, and her face more relaxed even with her Byakugan active.

"Gentle Step 64 Water Palms" As Naruto tried to defend himself she simply flowed around his defense. Striking his joints instead of his tenketsu. Naruto found him self feeling an odd sensation. It was only mildly painful. It was incredibly uncomfortable though. His movement slowly stopped. Still on his feet only able to move his neck and fingers he tried to figure out what happened.

"What did you do to me Hinata-chan. I can't move." She just smiled as she walked up to him and stood inside his guard and poked him right between the eyes with two fingers like a Juken strike but with no chakra.

"I win." She sounded quite pleased with herself as Naruto accepted his defeat. "I turned my chakra into water after injecting it into you joints, which I was aiming for instead of you tenketsu. The water fills the space. I then force it to hold its shape and lock your limbs in place. Anko and I figured it was a less painful way to capture someone alive while also rendering them immobile."

"Well can you let me out now. This feels really weird." Naruto asked while whining.

"I don't know. Anko-chan do you think we should just let him go after we have captured him?" The smirk on Anko's face told him all he needed to know. "You mean we have a helpless little Naruto-kun and he wants us to just release him? Oh no we can't do that." She said slinking toward him putting a sway into her hips. Hinata had circled around and was standing behind him at this point while, still frozen in his attempt to block Hinata's attack which she had purposely maneuvered to leave a space to stand in, Anko had ducked under his arms and was now standing inside them and pressing herself up against him.

"So, what do you think we should do with him?" Asked Hinata in a teasing voice.

"Oh, I can think of a few things." Said Anko pressing her self up against him as Hinata did the same to his back. It was at this point Naruto noticed something he had not before. Hinata had developed quite a bit since he left. He had no idea what they were planning but was quite sure he would both love it and hate it. Just when he was about to start sweating from the feeling of two well develops bosoms pressing against him he felt them each kiss a cheek and pull away laughing.

"That wasn't very nice." Naruto grumbled.

"Yeah but you liked it." Anko said gesturing to his waist where he had a noticeable bulge in his pants causing both him and Hinata to turn a deep shade of red and making Anko laugh harder. "Well let's get lunch I'm starving." Hinata nodded and followed after while Naruto remained in place for a few moments while Kurama started to heal him and release the water from his joints.

Making their way to Ichiraku's for lunch they ran into Fuu returning from border patrol with her team and asked them to join them her teammates declined after taking a quick look at Naruto but Fuu didn't catch it. They figured she just wanted to talk to the two girls who were her neighbors when it was Naruto she really wanted to see. Fuu spent quite a bit of time with Anko and Hinata but not as much as she wanted. Hinata was in school and Anko had started working in the IT department while she was going on missions with her team. Usually a patrol or short range escort mission. They were the only ones she could take still because of her probation. This meant she was out of the village around two to three weeks a month where Hinata and Anko were home every night.

While eating Hinata and Anko noticed the look on Fuu's face. She recognized it well and tipped off Anko. Anko found a reason to excuse herself and Hinata leaving Naruto alone with Fuu.

"So, Naruto what has happened since you…we last saw each other?" Fuu asked not quite sure how to phrase it without sounding like she could give something away. "Not much. Lots of training and did some errands with pervy sage." Naruto replied.

"Pervy sage?" asked Fuu in mild confusion.

"That's what I call Jiraiya. After Wolf brought you here we went towards Water Country for a while and ended up on an unpopulated island. Had to leave because the civil war fighting got too close. Just got back last night." Naruto told Fuu. She caught on to what he was saying. There were rumors floating around that someone in a black wolf mask had killed the Mizukage. She had only known of one person that wore one and he had just confirmed it to her.

"So, the rumors are true?" She whispered as low as she could so that only Naruto could hear it. He only gave her a sad nod as he stared at his ramen now getting cold. Seeing the hurt in his eye she just wrapped her arms around him and held him for a moment. "I sorry you had to go through that. If you need anything I will be here for you." Naruto just nodded into her shoulder letting out a few tears. Hinata and Anko helped but knowing Fuu, who was also a jinchuuriki could forgive him after what he did to one of their own was quite the relief.

After their talk Fuu had to meet her teammates at the mission office to report with her teammates as the Hokage was currently out of the Village. Naruto Returned home for some much needed rest.

Two days later while Naruto was laying on the roof of his apartment complex just enjoying the sun and breeze he felt a tug on his summoning seal. It was in the pattern that said he needed to make a flashy entrance. He had been waiting for one of these.

"He says I get two weeks off and then calls me three days later. Some vacation that was." He grumbles quickly jumping done and rushing down and donning his ANBU gear. This time without the hood and cloak. He got tired of wearing that stuffy thing so he made a seal that would turn his hair random colors and styles just to throw people for a loop. After putting on the mask and making sure everything was ready almost 15 seconds has passed. Seeing he was ready he warped away in a swirl emanating from his right eye.

Earlier with the Hokage

This was a dark day for Konoha. Of the three genin teams sent to the Chunin Exams there were only two survivors. Among the dead was an Uchiha who was known to have awakened his Sharingan and both eyes were missing. According to the proctors this is the state he was found in. His other two teammates were also dead. Something needed to be done. This was the second time in a row that Konoha had performed this way and it was not helping business. He would have a meeting with the Council and elite Jounins to discuss what they could do to prevent this. Casualties were expected but not like this and certainly not with an Uchiha's eyes being stolen. After careful thought he decided a statement needed to be made while the clients were still around. After sealing the bodies into a scroll he rejoined the Kazekage, feudal lords, and VIP's that had shown up. He had few options to choose from as everyone looked at him to see what he would do.

Deciding he only had one real option available, one he was unsure of whether he would regret it or not, He summoned Wolf and signaled to make it flashy. Standing next to the Kazekage he simply said in slightly louder than normal voice, "WOLF" making sure to catch everyone's attention.

It worked. Many had heard rumors. An ANBU that would always come when called no matter where he was. It made the Kazekage nervous to see what would happen. He knew for a fact no such ANBU had passed through the gates with the Hokage. He was curious to see how he would get, or maybe already had got, passed the gate. He didn't have to wait for long.

Less than two seconds after the Hokage spoke a massive chakra was felt and swirl began to form in front of the Hokage. Quickly taking the form of a man with green hair about 5'6" tall and heavily muscled. The normal ANBU tattoo that people expected was not there however. Instead in its place was a tattoo that looked similar with the tails on the top and bottom but the center was a full spiral like that worn on Konoha's flack jackets. The man had one final difference. He was standing, not kneeling like most ANBU.

They were quickly surrounded by Suna's ANBU but paid them no heed. "Wolf, this scroll contains the body of Setsuna Uchiha. His eyes have been removed. Find them and bring me the ninja who stole them unharmed if possible." Commanded the Hokage in a stern and angry voice.

"If not possible?" Asked Wolf.

"Alive" was the Hokage's Reply. "Understood" Wolf answered. With that his chakra started to fade calming the surrounding ninja until it disappeared. However they were unnerved by seeing him still standing there until he too began to fade like a ghost. As soon as he was halfway transparent the Hokage walked forward, through where Wolf was standing as he continued to fade, to the Kazekage and asked "I trust this will not be a problem?"

"How did he get into my village? He never checked in at the gate and now you have him hunting down someone who is most likely from another nation in my village or even one of my own.. Are you trying to cause an international incident?" The Kazekage was fuming by the time he finished his speech. The Hokage however was calm and unperturbed. "I doubt it was one of your ninja. They would be unable to use them and hiding it completely would be almost impossible. Wolf is likely no longer in the village and he never passed through the gate. Wolf comes directly to me whenever called regardless of distance. I know for a fact he was in Konoha just before I called him." Rasa opened his mouth to interrupt but Hiruzen just held his hand up so he could finish. "I asked him to bring me the culprit unharmed if possible but alive no matter what. If it is another genin I will simply confiscate the eyes and report his actions to his Kage along with a stern 'warning' for that particular village. After all Wolf is rather good and delivering 'messages' as I am sure you have heard about Taki by now." This conversation became the center of attention almost as soon as it started. The Sandaime Hokage gave away far more then he would have liked but Konoha needed the funds this little stunt might bring.

It was important for everyone there to know that Konoha could still deliver on missions and if he had to put a little fear into another village or two to do it… well it was a risk he was willing to take.

"Hokage-dono with respect I must ask that you recall him and allow us to look for the thief. This is my village and I keep order." Replied the Kazekage trying to regain some measure of control over the situation. "That young man was known to have an awakened Sharingan. A weapon of my village I will never allow to be stolen. As we speak I am sure he has already picked up the trail." As he said that Wolf reappeared. Much to the shock of everyone again. This time simply fading into view as if her were a ghost. But he was not alone. Three unconscious and tied up genin were with him.

"What is the meaning of this?! You come into my village and attack a foreign shinobi the have the nerve to pull this." Rasa was practically screaming and his ANBU were waiting for orders to arrest Wolf. Wolf however paid him no heed nor even a glance. After the Kazekage's outburst the Hokage nodded at him to report.

"I began by sweeping the rooms of all the genin. After finding the blood of Setsuna on the weapons of these three I sought them out. I found them having a discussion as to what would be done with the Sharingan eyes they had recovered in broad daylight no less. After listening and learning that they had already been taken out of the village by a waiting Kumo ANBU during the second phase of the test, I decided to make myself known. After a quick…Interview I learned that not only are these three actually chunin but they were given instruction to deliberately target any Dojutsu users they came across as well as any female kekkei genkai holders that could be taken. They presented completely fake ID's to enter and paid off a proctor to let them through. The proctor will be delivered momentarily." At this he turned to the Kazekage and motioned to the three who were joined by the proctor when a Wolf clone appeared with a tied up but otherwise conscious and unharmed sand ninja.

"Kazekage-sama I leave these men in your care to punish as you see fit. As you said this is your village and I have no authority to deal out punishments. However the Kumo ANBU who left last night with the eyes is mine." Turning to the Hokage "I am only a clone The real me is going to cut the ANBU off in Hotsprings Country this afternoon and will deliver the body and eyes to his family before your return. What do you wish for me to do with the Kumo ANBU?"

"Kumo needs a very clear message sent to them that this kind of behavior will not be tolerated. Not by Konoha or any nation hosting the Chunin Exams. Deliver his corpse to the front gate of Kumo. Tell them that I and Kazekage-dono send our regards." Said the Hokage before turning to the Kazekage, "If that is ok with you Kazekage-dono." Only receiving a small nod from Rasa. He then dismissed Wolf and the clone popped. Sighing he prepared for the inevitable backlash that was coming. His message had been sent loud and clear, but now he would learn the price.

The Kazekage had his ANBU arrest the men and take them for questioning. He had been made to look a fool after he had yelled at the Hokage only to find one of his own partly responsible. The Hokage did however give a small face saving measure in the message to Kumo. That wasn't going to help with the people in the room but it was still a small win for Suna. His Daimyo was not impressed so he had to try and save more face and be harsh with punishments. Not to mention it had taken Wolf only 15 minutes to find all involved parties. That was something that even surprised Hiruzen.

Seeing the excitement die down the Hokage took his leave. He had some major decisions ahead of him and he need time to think. His village was already starting to feel the impacts of their last two showings. Showing Naruto off a little might stop the bleeding but something drastic needed to change or things would get much harder in the future.

With Naruto

Wolf had just sent his clone to the Hokage after delivering the culprits and was getting ready to make a Hiraishin jump to his first training island. Since he had left a seal there just in case. The whole time he was shaking his head about how stupid those chunin were. Discussing it in broad daylight aloud no less. No wonder they were sent. If they died it wouldn't be much of a loss. His problem now was how to send a message. If there was only one ANBU it would be easy. Just leave his corpse at the gate as instructed. If there were several, which seemed more likely to him, just leave one alive and let him report after having taken the eyes. The second option was to deliver all the bodies to the village gate. That however would be annoying. Kumo would probably over react and try to chase him. Why did he have to be told to do that?

'Well no point worrying about it right now. Just have to burn that bridge when I get to it.' Thought Naruto as he made his way to Hot Springs country. Flashing to his training island and then quickly moving to the most direct path that the ANBU would likely take left him stand around for almost two hours before he sensed his objective approaching. He was right is was two full teams. This time they would be prepared. Word of what happened to Taki's ANBU had no doubt gotten out. 'That's what I get for being cocky I guess.' He thought.

So Wolf Stood on a branch, high above his targets path, his arms crossed, waiting. He no longer wore his cloak like normal. After he finally managed to prefect a hair color change seal, which turned out to be way harder than he thought it should have. But then again things that seem simple rarely are simple. When the Kumo squads were about three jumps from his position he moved.

Appearing suddenly in front of the foreign ANBU caused them to stop just 20 feet short of his tree. All of them immediately drawing their weapons. Wolf made no move. He was still deciding how to handle the situation. The silent standoff continued for several seconds before Wolf spoke.

"I believe you already know why I am here. Will you return the eyes or do I have to take them?" His voice was calm and collected. He spoke with complete confidence in his ability. The Kumo-nin were split however. Some a little put off that he got so close without them noticing almost like they had come to him rather than him chasing them. Little did they know that's exactly what had happened. After a short delay their leader, wearing a mask with lighting on it spoke.

"I am unaware of what you speak. We are simply returning home from our mission and do not have any 'eyes' with us." Their leader was aware of exactly what he meant an also who they were dealing with. What he didn't know was how the man got in front of them. Wolf was not happy. It is one thing to lie, its part of being a ninja, but it's another thing to lie after you have already been confronted about it by someone who knows that truth. That's just spineless.

"Don't play game with me. He," Wolf indicated the man in the middle of the group, "is carrying the Sharingan eyes of Setsuna Uchiha. I will used whatever force necessary to recover the eyes. If you continue to stall hoping the backup you signaled when you first saw me will arrive in time I will just kill all of you and take them back from your corpse." The Kumo ANBU cursed under his breath. This man was indeed a skilled sensor. Seeing as denial didn't work maybe a threats would.

"Do you really think you beat all of us? Even if you can, the time it would take would allow our backup to arrive. Combined that with the fact that seven of us should be enough to hold you here. You have no chance of victory. Why don't you save your own life and get out of our way?" Threated Lightning. With a sigh Wolf shook his head almost as if he were dealing with a child.

"If that is how you will have it so be it. I pray your families have good fortune after your passing." With that statement wolf released the seal hiding his chakra. The Kumo ANBU's reaction was instant. The one holding the eyes was shifted to the rear as the rest prepare for an immanent attack. Wolf left no doubt of what his next actions would be. He charged.

Halfway into his leap he simply disappeared. It was only instincts that saved his first target. Raising his sword the Kumo ANBU blocked a strike only to be push back several yards by the force. Causing him to fall through the trees until he landed on a large enough branch to hold him. The rest decided to scatter and make their way to the ground in order to eliminate as much of Wolf's speed advantage as they could by cutting off the option of coming up from below. As they moved down Wolf pursued the one holding the eyes the hardest.

The ANBU not holding the eyes formed up on the ground and were prepared to counter attack when the eye carrier reached them. Seven of them started covering the escapes of the eye carrier. But something was not right. Wolf only avoided their attacks after he sensed something new from them. They were nervous but it didn't seem to be about the fight or death. Not even the eyes seemed to be that big of a deal. Their attacks were slow, to him, but something else was there. Then he saw it. They were not going for lethal blows. Only disabling one. He couldn't tell if they were meant only to slow him down or disable him. Without warning he ceased his efforts to see their reactions.

The Kumo ANBU were greatly surprised when Wolf stopped and sheathed his sword. 'Why are they leading me this way? It might be an easier path but no shinobi would take the easy path over the quickest. Not while carrying something as important as an active Sharingan. Kurama, what do you make of this?' He thought and asked as he watched the Kumo ANBU cease their retreat which told him even more that something was not right.

"I'm not sure. They seem to be leading you somewhere for a purpose. I my memory recalls correctly the hills just a little way ahead is where a mine used to me. One that they used for ore that was eventually turned into chakra metal because it seemed to absorb charka better than normal. It would be a good place for an ambush. The ore in the hills might absorb enough residual chakra to make it hard or impossible to detect an ambush." Spoke Kurama after a moment of thought. 'I see. A very good way to hide a large number of Ninja or just a few very strong ones. But how would they know it would be me to come after them? How could they guarantee I would find them here or at all before them made it back to their village?'

"It doesn't matter. If you come they get to try a probable ambush and if not they get a pair of Sharingan eyes. There was really no downside. It would appear the people of Kiri didn't leave your name out of things like you requested." After hearing that it made more sense. He had killed a Biju and it had not stayed quiet for very long. The fact that someone had already made the leapt that it was him since he had a different mask didn't make him too happy. Kumo would just be the first of several that may try to kill him to weaken Konoha. Now he was really struggling for an answer. Did he simply kill them, take the eyes, and disregard the ambush? Did he allow it to happen and either make an example out of them or simply escape after retrieving the eyes once he knew the full purpose of it?

'I know I'm going to regret this later but it really is the only way to make sure this turn out right.'

The wolf masked figure had been staring at them for several seconds after putting away his weapon. They hadn't counted on him stopping. They thought he would have a singular purpose in getting the eyes back. What they had been told about him said he had no mercy yet he had not tried to kill them even once beyond the first swing of his sword. While they tried to figure out what to do he charged again.

This time Wolf pushed them harder he forced them to retreat faster. He didn't want any time for a message or signal to be reached. After a mile and a half of, half chase, half fight they came to a rocky outcropping that all eight ANBU turned and made a dash for. Pursuing them he came around the same outcropping to see quite a surprising sight.

A/N: And ending with a little cliff hanger. Been a while since I got the time and energy needed to write and hopefully it's back for a while now.
