This is a Naruto Fan Fiction only.

As soon as she got to the gate she turned around and began her explanation of the phase. "First off you need to sign a waiver, you see in the next phase you can actually die. Killing is also allowed, so we need the waiver so that our village is not liable."

"As soon as you sign you will need to pick up a scroll from this bins here, one per team. You will either take a heaven or an earth scroll. The task is to find the team that has the scroll that your team does not have and take it. You will then go to the center of the forest to a local structure for the next phase. You are forbidden from opening the scrolls anywhere other than inside the structure."

She looked at me and then at Sasuke smiling, "You got six days to get the scroll you need from another team and reach the structure. If you are done with the waivers hand them in and ask your questions then."

Sakura looked terrified for some reason, honest she was not the only one that looked scared for some reason. "What are we going to do about sleeping quarters, or food in the forest?"

Darn it, that reminds me I had a delivery to make here. I walked over to Anko who was smiling at me, she was smiling like the cat that just ate the canary.

"Sakura there is plenty off food in there if you know where to look, for crying out loud I grew up getting my food here. Speaking of food Anko I got a box of extra sweet Dango with your name on it."

I walked up to her and handed her the box, she did take the box but decided to give me a hug as a thank you. When she was hugging me I decided to whisper something in her ear.

"Careful of that kumo kunoichi that was close to me, she smells an awful lot of snake, you know what that means." She smiled and gave me a quick kiss on the cheek.

As I walked back I could see Sayomi glaring daggers at Anko. It was kind of strange seeing her in her male form giving Anko a jealous glare.

As I got back I felt something get thrown at me. The kumo kunoichi I warned her about caught a rather nice looking kunai with just her tongue. She then handed it to me, for a second I had the disgusting feeling that it would be covered in spit, gladly that was not the case.

"Nice catch, that's a delayed birthday gift little brother. You know you should make a party next time on your birthday. It would make it a lot easier on me, Mizuki and Kakashi to find you to give your presents you know."

I looked at Anko who was smiling as she finished saying that. Some guys from other villages flat out said that I was lucky to have a big sister like her. Only thing that came to mind is that these guys simply didn't have a clue and were just saying that because of her looks.

I looked at the kunai and realized what it really was, it was a signal kunai that ANBU use in case they need back up. The blade was nice size, grip but a little heavy on one side of the blade.

I saw Sayomi picked the scroll and the three of us walked into the forest. It truly felt like coming home, and for some weird reason the trees seems happy to see me again.

"Sasuke we need to come up with a pass phrase. Any of these idiots can knock one of us out, and pretend they are that person to get our scroll." For once the pink banshee actually had a good idea, I looked at the sky. No it doesn't look like it will rain today.

"When does a ninja strike?" That is the question. The answer is, "When hidden in shadows and opportunity calls." This should help us distinguish a real team member from a fake one.

Sayomi really had a nice idea, and I knew that if any one in our team was not going to remember it was Sakura. After all the answer had nothing to do with either fashion or Sasuke.

"So dope how about you contribute something to our planning and not just stand there like a toad on a log?" I had to remember that the person saying this was the same person that was screaming her head off when she was in bed with me last night.

"I will send shadow clones to scout. Once we find the team with the Earth scroll we can either have them attack them to distract them and we take the scroll or we can simply go and fight them head on. I guess I will leave the decision to you Teme, or else pinkete over there is going to complain."

We have gotten pretty good at acting like we hate each other thanks to mom's training. She often said that a ninja needed acting skills in order to be better at infiltration missions and slipping through people on the streets. As a ninja we must live in the shadow of the world, the place where no normal civilian dares to look.

"As you said we will use your clones to scout our target but don't even think about sending those clones to do our work! We be a laughing stock if we took the coward's route. You find the team with the scroll and then we hit them hard. Failure is not an option."

I understood that she really wanted to pass the exams and much or even more than I did. I guess she finally got tired of hiding her true self or maybe she felt like she needed to come out of hiding to prevent some other girl from taking me away from her. I wonder if she ever found out about my brief meeting with the children of the Kazekage.

My shadow clones went through out the forest and thanks to me knowing many of the languages of the animals in the forest I got a pretty good idea where I could find the team we were after. A spider matriarch told me she saw a scroll like I described on a bunch of Suna ninja.

"Gee, thanks a lot my old friend. It's nice to know you haven't forgotten me. I guess being neighbors for so long left an impression. Say hello to the kids and look at where I was standing. I left you something as thanks."

I stepped off and went towards the meeting point. Just as I was jumping from one tree limb to another a giant snake tried to take a bite out of me. "Hey Scales go get a bird, but leave me alone or you are going to regret it!"

The snake laughed as I said that. "The bird wouldn't be half as satisfying as you are. Someone seems to have a bone to pick with you, and he sent me to either slow you down or down right eat you. I am leaning towards making a snack out of you!"

I knew exactly what this serpent was talking about. I looked at her and smiled my coldest and most sinister smile I could. I sent killer intent her way that made drops of water freeze in an instant.

"You could say that I could also use a snack too, and a nice leather gloves. You think you scare me little one, then sorry to tell you, your threat had no effect on me. Don't mess with a nine tails fox or you will be the one to end up a snack!"

As we fought each other I slowly worked my way towards the meeting point. She was slowly working my last nerve, but the second she said that she would kill anyone whoever loved me, that is when the kid gloves came off.

I immediately did a series of hand signs and as soon as I finished I began to throw towards her direction one rasengan ball after the next, she screamed in sheer terror as she dodged the rasengan barrage I was sending after her. She dispelled and returned to her own real.

As I made my way I saw Sakura about to be devoured by Manda the chief of the snake clan. I used the flight of the thunder god technique to get between him and Sakura as he was trying to take a bite out of her or simply swallow her whole.

I looked at her with my eyes no longer looking human, if the reflection from her own eyes told me anything. I smiled as I noticed she was truly having a hard time. "You aren't hurt are you, kid? You fraidy cat."

I held the big snake's jaw shut. "Hey, Manda your daughter send her regards, I might have unintentionally scared her into a panic, you might want to check up on her. Me and the old snake summoner got somethings to talk. Don't worry we will be back when you get back."

The large snake looked at me like I was a worm, "Who do you think you are to think that you can talk to me at all!" I told him I was a nine tails fox. This made the snake shake his head and disappeared leaving Orochimaru to fall until he was standing on a nearby tree branch.

From everything Anko told me there was no doubt this supposedly kunoichi was not a woman, and most definitely not from Kumo. This was no one but the traitor of Konoha, the Snake Sennin Orochimaru.

I looked at him and sneered at him, I didn't like one bit the things he did to Anko and I would have to be a cold corpse, or a pile of ashes before I let him do that to my lover!

The seal I removed from Anko was something that would cause nightmares to anyone who knew about seals, well anyone except me that is. He implanted a part of his soul inside the seal, and it was set to trigger if he dies anywhere near her.

The way the disgusting thing worked was the second he died near her, his soul would transfer directly into the one with the seal nearest to him, and thus he could take over the body of his intended victim and thus escape death.

It was clear the seal was meant to weaken the person's soul in preparation for Orochimaru to take over the body. This sick thing was something no self respecting seal master of the Uzumaki clan would even suggest creating.

"You can drop the act, I know exactly who you are. The one and only body snatching, gay, pedophile traitor of Konoha! The snake sennin Orochimaru, so why not drop the disguise already. It's not like there is a squad of ANBU ready to pounce on you to end your life."

He didn't like what I said by the looks of it. "Kukuku, Naruto you are always full of surprises aren't you. You are wrong about two things Naruto I didn't betray Konoha the village betrayed me after they named your daddy Hokage instead of me."

He began to pull off the skin off the Kumo Kunoichi sort of like pulling off a mask. "The second thing you got wrong is that I am not a pedophile." I guess I should at least give him credit for not denying that he was a body snatcher, and gay.

"Now Naruto I have nothing against you, in fact I don't know why you are so hostile towards me. I would think you would enjoy the destruction of the place that brought you nothing but pain and humiliation. Instead you are being very rude and mean to me."

He looked at Sasuke, "In truth I have no intention of harming you or the members of your team. I was merely here to offer Sasuke my help in obtaining his revenge against his brother, I can offer him much better training and power if he would only accept my help."

I smacked my face with my open hand. "Please Orochimaru you wouldn't do anything if it didn't benefit you. I know about that cursed seal of yours, and by the way I also know how to remove it. Anko doesn't have it on her body anymore. So why bother placing it on anyone? The second I can I will remove it."

He looked rather amused by what I said, "If Jiraiya is unable to do it what chance do you have of doing that? Nice bluff Naruto, but what makes you different than my fellow sennin?"

I decided to use my fox form, and I could feel as my skin peeled off and fur began to cover me. I could feel all nine tails growing out of me and I knew I was in full nine tails form.

"It's quite simple for me to do that. I have the knowledge of thousands of years and control forces you and the other ninja in the world can't even dream off. Now I know my dear sister in law Anko wants to be the one to kill you, but nobody said I couldn't rip off a few limbs off to make it easier for her. Get your dancing shoes clown face, cause it's showtime!"

I began seeing that my words actually did sink in and he was furious as hell about it. He spent at least half an hour ranting about how I ruined his precious creation and how I wasted years of his life due to the wasted effort. All the while sending one horde of snake after another at me.

Good think I can use my fire to simply send wave after wave of fire at said snakes. If I didn't mind where those snakes came from I would say I had enough roasted snakes to feed Konoha for the next thirty years, but I do know where they come from so I decided to burn them ashes as the still raving Snake Senin ran away for dear life.

"Darn it, that would have been the perfect gift for Anko! You alright Teme, Banshee done feeling sorry for her self yet?"

Sayomi looked at me and then at Sakura who was still in the fetal position. "Actually Dope I think you going furry scared her more than Orochimaru and his snake ever did. How about you turn human, and help me keep her airways cleared before she chokes to death? We don't want to explain that to her mother."
