Chapter 26

The crowd moved slowly as they entered the stadium and found toward their seats. The Oni nins found their seats closer to the actual battle ground. They waited in anticipation for their surrogate son's and his friends. Kenshin was grinning practically bouncing in his seat as he sat next to his sister. Mina rolled her eyes but was just as excited to watch her brother fight. Lunair smiled at her husband as he motioned for the powerful oni that naruto had mated with.

Kyo, Ryu, and Kai laughed as they tried to picture the mortals reactions to Naruto and his pack mates. Kai growled as he pointed towards the kage box. "I smell serpents and they ain't friendly.'

Kai nodded spotting where the smell was coming from it was a man dressed in the kage robes of the wind village. He sneered at the humans surrounding him they didn't even understand that they had a snake waiting to strike at them. He glanced at ryu twitching his ears to show that they needed to be prepared for anything. Shintaro noted their signaling and tapped his wife making sure that she had the message before passing it on to the other oni nin with them.

All the noise ceased as the Hokage stood and signaled the people to silence. Smiling the Hokage gestured for the only ninja standing in the arena to open the doors. Ladys and gentlemen we are about to watch the first round of th echunin exams which consists of a few tests so it would be in the interest of everyone to watch the viewing screens as our genin begin their trials."

Sarutobi sat down and watched as the screen lit up to show the entrance to the area 44 or the forest of death. The spectators would only be able to watch through a few of the cameras placed around the stadium and forest. This was to keep an eye on the participants and make sure no extras were sneaking in. The first group to show up, on screen were a team of rain nin decked out in their camouflage and rebreathers . They looked to be tracking someone and were bouncing from tree to tree in pursuit of their prey. The audience watched as they came across the kazekage's children. To say the least their deaths were brutal and done with prejudice. Temari sliced the nin with her fan creating a shield for kankoruo to move and manipulate his puppets into poisoning them. Finally Garra let his sand form a cocoon around each of the nin one tendril leaked into their packs and retrieved a scroll before in a second the cocoons were rapidly contracted spewing blood into the trees and forests around them.

Watching the audience waited for the next battle to come on screen. It was only five minutes before the next two teams crossed paths. It was team Kurenai and a group of mist shinobi. Hinata frowned as she stared at her opponents. They were an all male team consisting of what looked like twins dressed as if they were trying to knock off mummy men. They were wrapped in medical tape from the nose down the only things interrupting this were their pants and shoes. Each twin wore a large shuriken on their backs. The only difference seen between the two were the color and pattern on the wraps; one was blue and the other green.

The last opponent looked to be a few years older than the other two making him around seventeen instead of fifteen. He wore a thin cameo outfit with knee high boots and a spiked chain wrapped around his waist as a weapon. Shino sighed as he let his bugs loose under his pants; silently willing them out beneath his pants legs and into the surrounding area to keep watch and act as weapons if need be. Kiba and Akamaru simply growled at the intruders and got into a defensive fighting stance. "who are you?"

The older of the mist nin raised a violet eyebrow and smirked, "Well, well if it isn't a few young tree huggers. Why don't you be good little kiddies and hand over your scroll before we decide to hurt you."

The member of the audience were surprised when instead of simply giving up Hinata one of the most shy girls to leave the academy snorted and laughed in their faces.

"Yeah right as if we would hand over our prize to you people. Che you would have to pry it from our corpses you mummified kinky rejects."

Shino, Kiba and Akamaru laughed as they settled behind their female team mate knowing that she would want the first crack at the enemy to test herself against people she could hurt. Sliding into a stance similar to that of the junken Hinat smiled cruelly at the other nin. Tilting her head to the side she made a come on gesture that had Kyo and the others in the audience that knew her laugh. "What bitches do you need an ingrained invitation, lets get this show on the road."

Hiashi and the rest of the hyuugas were shocked at the heiress's use of such crude gestures and language. The elders of the clan silently vowing to brand her once the tournament was over.

Hinata laughed as she imagined the look on the faces of her so called family. It had been a while since their opinions actually mattered and today she just wanted to show her pack that she wasn't just a kitten but was a full on predator. Observing the three in front of her she summoned a small amount of her demon chakra and let it shift her nails into claws.

This moment was so subtle that no one in the audience or the enemy nin could tell the difference. Grinning she slid her left foot forward and let her fangs come out to scare the others. She wasn't surprised when they laughed but just let her smile widen before disappearing from their line of sight.

The audience searched to and fro for the hyugga but none save Kenshin and the rest of the Oni nin saw as the girl slipped between the three cutting them and poisoning their chakra without them even knowing it.

It was like an instant passed before all three collapsed screaming in agony while Hinata appeared back beside her teammates licking the blood from her arms. She smiled into the camera her eyes glinting and her fangs showing to the audience in a predators smile. Purring in a deep smoky voice "Let the games Begin."

With this she led her teammates deeper into the forest after retrieving the scroll they needed.

In the Audience

The konoha citizens were appalled at the barbaric display that the young hyugga had put on but those from other nations were clapping at her ruthless show. The oni nin were laughing knowing that by the time the next round began they would have a whole hell of a lot of money thanks to Naruto and his friends. Anko was laughing her ass off as she watched the supposedly timid huga destroy ninka after ninja while her partners hung back and watched.

Kurenai couldn't stop staring as her sweet little sister talked trash and cursed a few of the nin out before castrating a few who spoke of raping her and then stringing up the rest after she finished their beat downs. Orochimaru was fascinated as he watched one of the hyugga fight in a new style using jutsu he had never heard of.

Back in the Forest

Naruto laughed as he heard the screams of several teams and the laughter of his panther demon pack mate. He continued walking with his teammates ignoring the whining that the pink haired bitch was doing. He kept his ears peeled for the sound of enemy in the vicinity. He heard a crash to the left and silently melted into the surrounding forest leaving his so called team with a clone.

Swiftly he made his way to the source of the sound only to spot a team being attacked by the forests resident giant tigers. Climbing into a tree he lay on his stomach watching as the oto nin were attacked and basically shredded. Laughing to himself he jumped down when they were all dead. Making his way through the gore he collected their pouches and the scroll before leaving the area. Stopping for a moment he sealed the new supplies into a scroll before making his way towards another team that was a few meters to the left of his position.

It was a team of iwa nin and he was in the mood to play. Making a oni hand sign he changed his henge to resemble the fourth hokage. Jumping down with a kunai in his hand he smiled at them. It was hilarious their mouths had dropped open and they shivered in fear. Naruto got tired of this after five minutes. "Well are you going to attack or just hand over your scroll?"

This seemed to jolt them back into reality and caused them to attack the look alike. Using rock and lightning jutsu they tried to contain Naruto and kill him using combinations. Naruto laughed and used one of his favorite ANBU tricks. Silently he called a wind to him and then released it turning it into a cutting current that tore into the iwa nin. When the tornado stopped they were all on the ground moaning in pain but alive.

Smiling to himself he stripped them of their scroll and left them there to survive on their own. Hopping from tree to tree he found his way back to team seven before switching places with the clone and dismissing it. Turning to his teammates he pointed upward. "YO I think we should get off the ground before night hits or we might get it by the animals that live here."

Sakura screeched at him causing his ears to lay flat "Why should we listen to you dead last we have to follow Sasuke."

Sasuke looked from one to the other before jumping into the trees and continuing on in a random direction. Naruto sighed before he got ahead of the idiot and subtly lead them in the right direction. He ignored both of them as he hunted for a new challenge knowing that one of the oni groups would have snuck genin into the tournament. Giving a glance at the two idiots he let lose one of his powers to sharpen his senses.

Taking a deep breath he let the scents of the forests he sifted through them in quickly he found his targets. Three scents that bore an animal like quality hidden under a powerful seal to keep others from sensing them. Sasuke and Sakura warily looked at their teammates as he laughed maniacally at nothing. Moving a few steps away from him Sakura could only take the laughing for a minute before she blew.

"Naruto-baka what are you laughing at now there's nothing here" She screeched pathetically.

Naruto covered his ears as soon as she opened her mouth muffling enough of her sonic screech that it wouldn't damage his ears. Once he was sure that she had finished screeching he glared at her his eyes flashing red for a moment beneath his genjutsu. "Do you want us to be discovered? No you probably don't even think."

He prowled closer to the "Does the fact that we are in a miniwar zone even cross that giant mind of yours? What does only the Uchiha comments get through to your thick head."

Haruno tried to splutter out in denial but couldn't really refute what he had said. All the while the Uchiha was leaning against eth tree brooding in silence. A rustle to the left of the clearing they were stopped in was heard. Naruto jumped into a defensive position while the others reacted after he did. Sakura pulling a kunai while sasuke glared at the bushes a handful of stars ready for launch.

Out of the bushes stepped a lone nin. He was dressed in cameo made to blend in with mountains instead of forests. He bore a sword on his back decorated like a rock dragon in tones of grey and silver. His hair was wrapped tight in a bandanna a lone silver streak hanging into his face. Mercury eyes looked out of a tan face a smirk firmly entranced on his lips.

"Yo you must be Kenshin's kid Naru-chan nice to meet you I'm Hideki Shima your new opponent, and hopefully your future partner as well."

Naruto laughed leaning his body into a crouch. "Well we'll see about that show me what you got and maybe I'll let you live."

Okay till next time and bring on the battles hopefully I'll give better fight scenes.
