Chapter 4

"Hello, Sasuke-kun."

Sasuke jumped forward and moved away from the creepy voice and found the genin with the long tongue appeared.

Sasuke armed himself with a kunai and prepared himself. "Who the hell are you and what do you want?" A tight knot forming in the pit of his stomach.

The strange genin licked his lips with his very long tongue and said, "You will find out when I get there."

Sasuke couldn't help but gulp at the dark statement.

(Present)

Naruto went through hand seals and his arms were covered in Kyubi's chakra as he let the snake swallow him, letting the corrupting chakra burn and melt away the inside, making the snake trash around hitting and breakdown trees in the general area and it soon fell down with a thump, its flesh breaking down and melting a hole where Naruto stepped out of covered in several snake guts.

'Not really appetizing Kyu-chan.'

'Maybe not for you now, but you will get used to it. After you used my chakra so much and for so long that it is affecting your body structure.'

'Can I still-'

'Yes, Naruto-chan you still can.'

'Sweet.'

'You need to find your awful teammates, you know'

'Can't we leave them to die?'

'As much as I would love that Naruto wait until the third task, then slaughter everyone.'

'Very well.'

Naruto went to find an earth scroll and find his team and soon stumbled upon a group of Kyubi haters that followed in their teacher's footsteps of hating him. He hid in the shadows and waited, listening in on their conversation.

"Where do we start now?"

"We need to find a heaven scroll first of all."

"What about the demon brat's team?"

"No."

"Why?!"

"Because the Uchiha and the council woman's daughter is on that team."

"Dammit, maybe if we kill him we will be pardoned? They will promote the Uchiha anyways, plus the demon is an easy target."

"Oh, I'm easy, huh?"

Three heads snapped up to the trees to find the source of their conversation.

"You shouldn't really talk about someone behind their backs, they could be listening and planning your horrible demise."

"Get him!"

The three Kyubi-hating genin went to attack him with their weapons, but Naruto beat back all of them, by the end of the fight, if you could call it that, they were all on the ground, beaten and Naruto without a scratch.

"You bastard!"

"Come on, shithead. I've many insults but that is just weak, make better ones!" Naruto snarled in reply

They went to attack him once more, but Naruto planted his fist into one of the genin's chests created a sharp crack and loud scream erupted from his mouth along with spit and blood as he crumbled to the ground, clutching his chest as he tried to breathe before falling still forever.

The genin looked at the blonde in shock and terror. This was not the boy that would help torment with their sensei, where did the loud dead last that would shout he would be Hokage. Well, he has been dead at the age of three.

Naruto gave a shark-like smirk and cracked his knuckles menacingly that made their stomach well up in their throats.

Blood-curdling screams lit up the forest, making shudders run up the spines of most of the genin in the forest.

By the time Naruto was finished the area was coated with blood and pieces of meat that could be considered body parts of several people, well if you could look close enough. He pocketed the earth scroll and went to find his teammates if he could call them that.

"I wonder if Sasuke got the log taken out of his ass for another thing?" Naruto thought as he traveled by tree.

Back to Sasuke...

"Oh, the pain~!"

*I'm sorry... not really*

Sasuke was panting heavily, his clothes were torn and he has bruises over his arms and legs, the opponent in front of him was not even damaged and was taunting him with that damn tongue..he shuddered at what happened when got to close.

"Come on, Sasuke-kun. I though the rookie of the year should be stronger than this, I guess standards of Konoha had fallen since your brother who is much better than you."

Sasuke's sight went red at the bastard's statement and went to attack him with fury, punches and kicks in rapid succession and managed to push him back, throwing kunai with ninja wire attached and managed to trap the creepy genin to the tree and bluntly hit him with a fire jutsu, finally managing to hear his death screams.

Sasuke panted as he looked at the smoldering ball of flames and allowed himself to smirk.

However, the flames cleared and Sasuke's eyes widened in disbelief.

The tree was burnt but no dead body and he got caught in a tight unrelenting grip which made him pale to a pasty white.

"Sasuke-kun..." Afterward, well I will let your imaginations do the thinking for that.

Some time later, Sasuke was propped up against the tree unconscious, his shirt torn open with bite marks his chest and stomach, his pants are still upright but the awkward way he shifted his position says something. Lastly, was a bite mark of a curse seal on his neck.

As the genin now known as Orochimaru let the boy to his devices, he would come to him later, it has been too long since he has had someone who interested him so much.

He flashed away and Sakura was roused from her unconscious state.

She rubbed the sleep from her eyes but then recognized she was in the middle of the second part of the chunin exams and she rushed to find her beloved Sasuke.

Soon she was able to find her beloved and was barely able to stifle a scream at his appearance. She checked him over being very touchy in handling him and was able to bandage several bruises and bite marks, she didn't know what to think of the curse seal on his neck but was able to get them to lower ground along with why his ass cheeks are so red.

Sakura placed traps around the surrounding area and armed herself with a kunai guarding her love.

Naruto, on the other hand, went to go find his team so he could leave, he wondered if Sakura died, though.

Later on, he found his team, Sasuke was in the cave, his scent was very heavy considering he smelled sweat, Sakura was guarding him with a kunai looking a bit fearful.

Naruto jumped down and Sakura threw a kunai at him, but Naruto caught it between his fingers and moved into Sakura's line of sight.

She opened her mouth to berate him, but Naruto made the motion of zipping his lips and Sakura could feel her lips fail her.

"Listen pinky, I don't care. I got a scroll, don't ask how I got it, I won't tell. We need to get the Uchiha and get to the tower. Do you understand?"

She nodded, walked into the cave and grabbed a hold of the Uchiha's collar, knowing it would piss Sakura off and jumped up towards the tree with surprising speed, making Sakura struggle to keep up with him.

Soon the team arrived at the tower, with Naruto dropping Sasuke in a heap on the ground and took out two scrolls.

He opened them and threw them on the floor, smoke appeared and out came Iruka.

"I see you all made it...what happened to Sasuke?"

"Apparently he is ill..." Naruto said, plainly.

He didn't really care, but the scent of his blood was unnerving and a certain something that made him flinch but placed out of his mind.

Iruka took Sasuke with him but told the story of Earth and Heaven. Naruto went on his way and Sakura went inside the tower, then arrived on the third day, the team has two days to rest before the third exam.

Soon it was time for the third exam, Sasuke had his curse seal, sealed by Kakashi who put his unwavering faith in him that he wouldn't fall to the darkness.

All the Konoha's team made it, Suna's, and Kabuto who quit.

[You all know the scene.]

Sakura vs Rika

Sakura thought it would be an easy match, Rika knew she was going to be annoyed at the end of this.

Everyone left the stage, besides those called out and said, "Are you ready?"

Sakura replied yes, while Rika just nodded, not even interested in getting into a stance for Pinky, which irrated her to no end.

"Fight~!"

Ending it! Next chapter, I will see you all later!
