Thank you so, so, so much for over the 80 views! I am so happy that you guys are enjoying my story. It's time for the chuunin exams. I don't own Naruto or the small references to FMA Brotherhood or devil's a part timer.

A small little thing, Akise doesn't know Orochimaru is the leader of the Otogakure. But Orochimaru does know about the massacre. He doesn't know Akise is still alive. And of course some spoilers from further in the story because of Akise's demon chakra sensory thingy.

Rated T for darkish themes and some swearing

Kakashi's P.O.V.

The next morning I had to go to the Hokage again. Jeez I was trying to be on time for once. And I still got scolded. "Good morning, Kakashi-san, Asuma-san, Kurenai-san and Gai-san, you're not as late as usual Kakashi. Your teams are allowed to enter the chuunin exams this year. Do you accept?" the Hokage asked. "I am sorry Hokage-sama. But the students in the teams you just named are not mature enough to become chuunin yet, they finished pre-Genin school around a month ago." Iruka said. "They are no longer your students, sensei. They are soldiers under my command." I said. Iruka tched and walked away. "We accept." We said in unison. "Good, now go and tell your students." The Hokage said and gave us the entries. "Yes Hokage-sama." we said and left.

"Morning guys." I appeared on a tree branch. "Morning sensei." Naruto said. Akise-kun wasn't there yet. "You guys are allowed to enter in the chuunin exams." I said with an eye smile. "Really sensei? Kakashi-sensei, I love you!" Naruto yelled and jumped on me. "Naruto get off, you're embarrassing me." I said and shoved the blond boy off. "Oh sorry sensei." he said and rubbed the back of his neck. "Where is Akise?" I asked. "He wasn't home when I woke up." I added. "We don't know, he didn't tell us anything either." Sakura said. "Well then, I'll tell him later. If you want to participate you need to turn in the application forms in room 301 by 4 PM tomorrow afternoon." I said. "That's all for today." I said and teleported away.

Akise's P.O.V.

I was looking for the three Oto shinobi. And I walked into them. "I am sorry." I said. "Saku-kun?" Dosu, the leader of this squad asked. "Yo Dosu-san, congrats on becoming the leader of a squad." I said. "Thanks, but I thought you died just like the rest of your clan." He said. "Not here." I stated. "We're being watched." I said, it was Gaara. Hmm another Jinchūriki, as Kakashi-nii-san called them. "Okay, let's go to our hotel. We've got hearing protection there, hm." Zaku said. My best friend, Zaku, had grown so much. He was much taller than me now. {I've chosen to make Akise 139 cm tall, just a little taller than Hitsugaya Toshiro from Bleach. According to the wikipage Zaku is 157 cm tall}. "Yeah let's go." I said. The four of us walked to their hotel. "Tell us, what happened?" Tsuchi asked, she had grown as well. All of them were so tall. And all of them were fourteen. And I was only 11. "We were attacked by demons and they massacred my clan. My mother forced me to leave. She got me out with one of her summons. Some Konoha nin found me and took me to here." I said, it wasn't the complete truth but I was a good liar. "They don't really like your clan, do they?" Dosu asked. I shook my head. "I now go as Hatake Akise. Please call me like that." I said. "Oh okay, protection reasons, hm?" Zaku asked. "Yeah." I said. "How did you know someone was watching us?" Tsuchi asked. "I felt his chakra." I answered coldly. She nodded. "Why are you guys here?" I asked. "The Chuunin exams. The Leader sent us to participate, hm." Zaku explained. "Oh I am late for training, again." I said and rubbed the back of my head. "You, late?" Dosu asked. "I guess my brother's behaviour is affecting me." I said. "I guess you should go then." Zaku said. "Yeah, I think he's not going to like it that I'm late." I said. "Bye Saku, I mean Hatake-kun." Tsuchi said. "Bye guys." I said and left.

"Where the hell have you been?" Naruto yelled. "I was lost on the path of life." I said. Sasuke tched. "Sensei is looking for you." He said. "Okay, what did he want to talk about?" I asked. "The chuunin exams." Naruto said. "Really? I'll go and look for my brother then." I said and left. Ten minutes later I found him sitting on a tree branch. "Kakashi-nii-san, you were looking for me?" I asked. "Yes, why didn't you participate during training today?" he asked, slightly angry. "I was training in the forest this morning and I lost track on the time and when I came to the training field. There was nobody there." I lied. He eye smiled. "Alright, I wanted to ask if you want to participate in the Chuunin exam." He stated. "Of course nii-san." I said. "You'll need to fill in and bring this application to room 301 before tomorrow 4 PM." He instructed. "Yes Sensei." I said. "Stop calling me sensei!" he said, playing like he was annoyed. "Bye sensei." I said and walked away.

The next morning my team and I walked to the academy and entered. "Why bother? Someone as talentless as you won't ever succeed as a shinobi." One of the guys in front of the door of classroom 301 said, he knocked down a kid in a spandex suit. He looked a lot like Gai-san. "Please, we're begging you. Let us in." a girl with two buns said. She got knocked out. "You misunderstand!" the other said. "We're just trying to spare you. The Chuunin exam is extremely difficult. We failed three times so far." He added. "Besides that chuunin are cell commanders. They lead their units. And you little punks have the nerve to apply?" the other chuckled. "We're saving a step by weeding out the obvious losers beforehand." He added. "That might sound good in theory. But you'd better let me and my friend here through." Sasuke said. "Tch drop the force-field illusion you created while you are at it." I said coldly. "So you figured that out huh?" one of the two dudes said. "We have business at the third floor." Sasuke said. "Sakura you noticed it too right?" I asked. "Of course I noticed it. Obviously we are still on the second floor." She answered. "Heh, impressive. But just seeing through it is not enough." One of the dudes said and attacked Sasuke. The Gai-lookalike stopped the guy who attacked Sasuke. "Wow he's so fast." Sakura said.

"That's not what we agreed, you're the one who insisted we should avoid drawing attention to ourselves." A boy with long black hair and complete lilac eyes said. "B-But..." the lookalike stuttered out. "Here we go again." The girl with the buns said and shook her head. "Hi my name is Rock Lee. You're Sakura right?" he asked. "Would you like to go out with me? I'll protect me with your life." He added. "No way." Sakura said. "What are your names?" the lilac eyed boy asked Sasuke and I. "It's common courtesy to give your name first." Sasuke said with a cocky grin. "You are rookies, how old are you?" the same boy asked. "None of your business." I said. "Now Sasuke-kun, Naruto-kun, Akise-kun let's go." Sakura said and pulled us through the hall. We walked to the third floor. "Yo you with the scowl, wait up." Lee appeared. "What is it?" Sasuke asked coldly. "Right here, right now. Want to fight?" he asked.

"You want to fight me right here?" Sasuke asked. "Yes!" Lee yelled. "I am Uchiha Sasuke." He said. "Let's fight!" Lee yelled. He winked at Sakura. "No way! Those eye lashes creep me out." she yelled. Naruto looked annoyed Sasuke got all attention. "Let me handle him, just give me five minutes." Naruto said. "I have no interest in fighting you. Only Uchiha." Lee said. Naruto ran at the in spandex clothed boy, but he caught Naruto's arm and threw Naruto onto the floor. "Mark my words, none of you will beat me." He said. "I am the greatest fighter among all the junior ninja in Konoha." He added. "This could be fun, I accept your challenge." Sasuke said. "Don't do it Sasuke, we have less than half an hour to submit our applications." Sakura said. "This will only take five minutes." Sasuke said. "Konoha Hurricane!" Lee yelled. He threw Sasuke over the ground. "Sasuke!" Sakura yelled. "What the hell?" Sasuke said and stood up. "Come on." Lee said. "Sharingan." Sasuke said and his eyes changed. He ran up to Lee. He moved faster than a normal human eye could see and kicked Sasuke full into his face. Lee appeared behind Sasuke, but he fell down on top of Lee. Suddenly a tortoise appeared. "That's enough Lee." It said. "Hey that thing over there is a turtle." Naruto whispered. "Ah the exuberance of youth. All of you are full of it." it was Gai-san, oh God no. "He has bigger eyebrows than Lee." Naruto whispered. "Hey don't make fun of Gai-sensei!" Lee yelled. "Idiot!" Gai yelled and punched Lee in the face. The two of them started crying and hugged each other. "How is Kakashi-sensei?" Gai asked. "You know sensei?" Sakura asked. "Do I know him, heh?" He chuckled. "I should say so, we are arch rivals!" he suddenly appeared behind us. "Hello Akise-kun, how are you?" he asked me. "I-I am good, Gai-san. How are you?" I said nervously. "I am happy, you are as youthful as ever." He said with a smile. Sasuke seemed annoyed he couldn't beat this kid. "Sakura, Naruto, Akise let's go. We have applications to turn in." Sasuke said. "Yeah!" Naruto and Sakura yelled. I nodded and we left the two spandex clothed males alone.

"I am glad you made it after all." Kakashi stood in front of the real classroom 301. "I wish you all good luck." He said and the four of us went in. there were people from almost all villages. It was just as incredible as I remember. The last time I was eight though. Team 8 and 10 were there too. "You are new Genin, this isn't a school trip." A grey haired male said. "Tch we know that. Who do you think you are?" Sasuke asked annoyed with Ino and Sakura fighting over him. "My name is Kabuto. Look out for those Amegakure shinobi, they can beat the living crap out of you." He said. "But it is probably unavoidable, you rookies think you know everything. I remember what it was like." He stated. "Kabuto-san, is this the second time you applied?" Sakura asked. "Nope, my seventh." Kabuto answered. "You have a lot of experience and know what to expect." Sakura said. "Wow Kabuto-san, you're the man!" Naruto yelled. Kabuto started to explain his skill but the Oto Nin caught my attention. I made my way to them. "Yo." I said. "Yo Hatake-kun." Dosu said. "Good luck Hatake-kun, you're going to need it, hm." Zaku said, but smiled in a way I knew he was playing.

"My name is Uzumaki Naruto, and none of you are gonna beat me!" Naruto suddenly yelled. "What is his problem?" Ino asked. "We don't know either." Sakura said. "Good luck with that team as well, Hatake-kun, hm." Zaku said. "You should go back to them." Tsuchi said. "Yeah, you're right. See you." I said and left. The Oto Nin attacked Kabuto. He easily dodged it, but Dosu did break his glasses. There was an explosion and the examiners appeared. "All of you sit down!" the man with many scars over his face said. "My name is Ibiki Morino. I am your examiner." He said.

I am skipping the writing test. Since it was way too long. Mostly because I am excited to get to the Forest of Death part which will be different from the manga and anime.

The written exam had finished. "For the second part is a trip to the Forest of Death. My name is Mitarashi Anko. With the other members of your team, bring these contracts which makes sure it isn't our fault if you die during this part of the exam." She explained. We all signed. Some hesitated but we all did it. "Now about the exam. It is a no-holds-barred survival test. There is a scroll of earth and a scroll of heaven. You need both to pass. Some teams have a heaven scroll and some an earth. You need to obtain both scrolls and bring them to the tower at the centre of the forest. You get exactly five days for this. You are forbidden to look into the scrolls till you enter the tower. My advice is, stay alive. Keep in mind everyone is your enemy." She explained. Everyone got in place. "Now, start!" she yelled. Soon after we entered the forest Sasuke punched Naruto. "Sasuke-kun what are you doing?" Sakura asked frightened. "Sakura-chan get back here. That is not Sasuke." I said. "Heh, heh how did you know?" 'Sasuke' asked. "You don't have the Uchiha's charka circulation." I said and attacked him with one of my kunai. I killed him and he turned back into an Amegakure shinobi. "Sasuke!" Sakura yelled as he came out of the bushes. "That bastard knocked me down and used some kind of jutsu on me. I couldn't move." He explained while I was searching the boy's body for anything useful. "Naruto, are you doing okay over there?" I asked while he got up. "Yeah. Damn Amegakure shinobi." He said and we continued. The other two Amegakure shinobi attacked us as well. Sasuke took one down with effort and I killed the other one. Sasuke was lecturing us on not trusting someone blindly. There was a gust of wind. "New enemies?" Sasuke asked. And we all jumped up. "If we lose each other the password is Ninki." He whispered. We nodded. Naruto was distracted by one of the three enemies. "Naruto look out!" I yelled, a snake attacked Naruto from behind. He was able to take it down. "Since you guys already have the heaven scroll. We can fight to the death for the other." The dude who summoned the snake said and swallowed the scroll. He used a Genjutsu and Sasuke and Sakura fell under it. The man was going to kill Sasuke and Sakura! I ran to them but one of the snakes blocked me out. Naruto suddenly screamed and caught the attention of the man and the snakes. I ran to Sakura and Sasuke. Trying to get them out of the Genjutsu. "We need to run." Sasuke said who recovered from the Genjutsu. He activated his Sharingan and tried to look for a way out. Naruto was still fighting the snake-like man. I took down the other two shinobi. Oh no, Naruto's demon was coming out again. I was too far away to stop it.

"My, my." The snake man said. Naruto attacked the man. He grabbed Naruto around his neck and putted a jutsu onto his stomach. "Sasuke, Naruto needs you!" Sakura yelled. Sasuke sent several jutsu to the snake man. He all easily dodged it. "My you really have control over the Sharingan." He said and his face started to melt. His Hitai-ate changed too. The sign of the Otogakure! He performed a jutsu and his neck extended. His head and neck moved to Sasuke's! "No!" I yelled and unsheathed my katana which I had been hiding under my kimono. I barely managed to block his attack. "Those markings on that sheath, could it be?" he asked surprised. "Stay away from my team!" I yelled. "Your team? Don't make me laugh. You could kill them just as easily as I could, you are way stronger than them." He said. "What do you want from Sasuke?" I asked angry. "I wanted him, but seeing that you're alive I think I need to make a change in my plans." He said. "Saku Akise." He added smirking. "S-Saku?" Sasuke asked, he sounded scared. "Kukuku, you didn't tell them you are from the Saku clan." The snake said. "The Saku clan?" Naruto asked, he had calmed down and his demon chakra had reduced to his normal chakra. "You really didn't tell them, didn't you Saku-kun? I could understand that, you don't want them to hate you too." the snake said mockingly. "Who the hell are you?" Naruto asked the snake. "My name is Orochimaru. I am the leader of the Otogakure." He smirked. "T-The leader of the Otogakure." I repeated, I felt terrified. That didn't happen often. The leader of the Otogakure, my Leader. "Run." I told my team. "He is way out of our league." I added and helped Sasuke up. "You guys aren't going anywhere." Orochimaru said. Dosu's team came out of the trees. "I am sorry Saku-kun, but Orochimaru-sama wants us to keep you here." He said. "Dosu-san, please. Let them go, I'll stay here." I pleaded. "You want to sacrifice yourself for three weak Genin you met a month ago?" Orochimaru asked mockingly. "Yes I am willing to sacrifice myself for my friends." I said with a smile. My team smiled too, even though Sasuke still looked terrified.

"Very well, I won't do anything to your so called team. But you'll let me do anything I want to do to you." Orochimaru said. "I accept your offer. But if you touch them I won't hesitate to kill you." I stated coldly and let go of some of my killer intent. It scared my team. And Dosu's team looked slightly bothered by it. But Orochimaru probably didn't even feel it. "Come here Akise-kun." Orochimaru commanded. I hesitated for a second but I knew he would kill my team if I didn't. "Good boy." He said as I walked to him. He took my mask down and my eye-patch off. "Open your eyes." He commanded. I slowly opened my eyes. I saw him smirk when he saw my eye. "A demon marked you?" he asked. "Yes." I answered. "Good, that's even better than I expected." He said and took my mask down all the way to my shoulder. "You know, I wanted to give the Uchiha a curse seal. But I think you'll do much better, you are a member of the strongest clan of the Otogakure after all." He said and bit me where my shoulder and neck met. "I didn't know what seal I should give you. You seem pretty hard to break, so I've chosen to give you the strongest mark. You belong to me now." He said and smirked. "And I also know you want revenge on the demon that killed your family, you know you want to. I can give you that power." Orochimaru said. I did want his power, I wanted to kill Lucifer. "I'll see you soon Saku-kun, when you are looking for power to kill him." Orochimaru said. I started to black out. It hurt so incredibly much. Why did he do this to me? What does he want from me? I felt like I was on fire. "Get rid of the other three." He commanded Dosu's squad. "Yes Orochimaru-sama." they said and I blacked out completely.

Sasuke's P.O.V. (Finally someone else, sorry that there was so many from Akise's perspective last and this chapter. I wanted you to have a first perspective view of Akise's feelings and actions.)

He is a Saku, a fucking Saku. A demon summoner. He summons demons to fight. I should have known, his chakra was not like sensei's. That means they aren't family either. Who the fuck is he? "Get rid of the other three." The snake commanded the squad of Oto shinobi. "Yes Orochimaru-sama." they said. "What? You made a deal with Akise-kun. You can't do this to us!" Naruto yelled. "Heh, heh, Saku-kun is out right now. He can't do anything to save you now." The leader of the squad said. "We're really sorry, I wouldn't want to hurt my best friend's feelings. I don't understand why a Jounin, no, a professionally trained assassin would care about you, hm." The boy without the bandages said. Akise was moving again. "He made a fucking deal." He said. "Saku-kun?" the leader asked. "Damn it Dosu-san, he made a deal with me. He wouldn't hurt my team." Akise said. "We'll leave." The girl said. "Thank you, thank you so much Tsuchi-san." Akise said and bowed. They left and Orochimaru left the heaven's scroll. Akise smiled and fainted again. "Let's go to the tower." Naruto said. "Yes that's the best idea. Akise needs medical attention." Sakura said. Didn't they know how dangerous he is? He is a Saku. The most dangerous clan I knew. "Okay. Let's go." I agreed.

Hi there. I am so sorry for skipping the written exam, but I just didn't think it was interesting. I chose to give Akise a curse mark, because I didn't want the story to be too much like the canon story. The stuff Akise goes through will be different from Sasuke. Since Orochimaru wants to do something different with Akise than he would with Sasuke. But you'll find that out soon (Two or three chapters later... sigh something will come in between, like Naruto Shippuden. Ugh damn those fillers. I won't do fillers though.). the names of the three Otogakure ninja are the real names, Kinuta Dosu (the one with the bandages), Abumi Zaku (The other boy with shi, or death on his shirt.) and Tsuchi Kin (The girl). Zaku ends his sentences with hm, just like Deidara, one of my favourite characters.

Bye bye.
