As Naruto got ready to fight in the finals of the Chunin exams, he decided to go to the stadium and make plans to take down Orochimaru once and for all. As he looked around he knew where to set up his traps, he quickly scanned all the escape route exits, and he was finally ready he knew how to escape unseen by the Konohagakure forces. Naruto was leaving when he saw the Third Hokage approaching him.

"So Mikado are you excited about fighting in the Chunin exams? I mean everyone now wants to see the Uchiha, Gaara, and you fight. Me myself would like to see you and Sasuke fight since both of you have too completely different styles it would be interesting to see the outcome of your battle" as the Third walked along the side with him. "I'm not looking for Sasuke to fight I want Neji simple and plain, what he did to Hinata is unforgivable in my eyes."

"You truly love Hinata don't you Mikado? She is fine thanks to that jutsu you perform so there no need for revenge, remember that they are cousins and Hinata will try to work it out with Neji" as he looked at Naruto with concern.

"I can't forgive him for what he did that was inexcusable for his actions! He tried to kill her I felt his content of hatred for her."

"Yes I know but if Hinata can forgive can't you? Hinata knows that the cure for hate is love, that's why I think she could be a great diplomat for our village. She has a remarkable way of looking at things and the ability to understand people's heart, that is why Neji was so mad at her, she understood him" as they continued to walk around the stadium.

"So you want me to understand his actions for what he did? I know hatred I seen it and felt it firsthand. People don't want understanding, they want themselves to feel superior to someone that dominance is the best understanding for those type of people" as Naruto looked at the Hokage seeing if he had a rebuttal from his claim. "You may have wisdom Lord Hokage but I know the depth of people hatred, it's unfathomable of what they can do to the weak and peaceful. Some are nothing but mindless beast, cruel, evil that only wants to destroy anything in their path. These kinds of people I want nothing to do with but if they come in my presence thinking I'll let them harm me or …." Naruto knew he had to calm himself down.

"Yes people do seem to act that way but its fear that makes their heart become filled mistrust but for every person that gives into mistrust, hate and anger, there are thousands that will want the truth and to understand that person and to fill that person heart with understanding, trust and hope. Those are the future that will build bonds of friendships with their common man. Those are the future and Hinata is part of that generation that will be the beacon of hope for a better tomorrow" as the Hokage started to walk away from Naruto and back to his office." Just think about what I said, there is always a reason someone acts the way they do, good luck to you Mikado Tae Shin on your match with Neji Hyuuga."

Naruto thought hard about what the Hokage said, he thought about Hinata. If everyone had a heart like her, than the world would be a better place to live in. As he sat at the bench waiting for the matches to begin in four hours, he thought he would just sit and contemplate about the decisions of his life. The good, the bad, and every step he took to this point in his life.


As the competitors started to arrive they were all shocked to see (Mikado/Naruto) already there sitting and staring at the sky. As Tenten looked at Naruto she thought he was afraid to face Neji. As she approached Neji she leaned over to talk to him.

"I think that he is afraid of you? He was here early and now he just doesn't have that fighting spirit like he use to have. It looks like the lion is nothing more than a lamb now" as Tenten chuckled to Neji.

"I don't think so, he just defeat Hideo for the right to officially court Hinata. He's a very skilled individual and I will have my hands full when I battle him" as Neji stared at his new rival.

"Get out of here Hideo is more skilled than most high level Chunin and he beat him? Something isn't right about this Mikado, he's from the southern part of the Konoha but no one ever heard of someone that skilled down there and he comes along and make us all look like losers? Be careful Neji if he's as good as the Jonins think, you are in for a battle like none you ever face before" as Tenten wished her friend good luck.

As Naruto looked for Hinata, he saw her with her little sister and walked over to them.

"Hinata I need you to do me a favor, right after my match I need to talk to you. I will explain everything later to you but I really need you to trust me on this" Naruto gave her a smile and walk toward the field.

Hanabi looked at Hinata's boyfriend and thought he had that bad boy feature, that's why Hinata was so attracted to him. As they call for the Genin to come to the field, all came and saluted the crowd and the Hokage, as they looked to see who was first it came down to Mikado and Neji. As they walked to the field Naruto felt a little apprehensive about the large crowd and what might happen. As the proctor looked at the both of them he asked were they ready. Naruto asked the proctor if he could ask Neji a question before they start. The proctor gave him permission to ask Neji a question.

"So that attack on Hinata, why go that far? Weren't you assigned to protect her with your life? Why did you make it personal against her, she has one of the kindest hearts I've ever come across?" Naruto waited for an answer.

"She is a failure and future leader of our clan. It was destiny that she became our leader while I was stuck into the branch family. My father gave his life for the main branch and I was left alone to be cursed by a jutsu that can't be removed until my death. She is blessed by destiny as I was cursed, my destiny is to never be defeated and you will be part of that list of enemies I vanquish" as he stared at him with anger.

Naruto shook his head and got in his stance, it was revenge that Neji sought just like him. The proctor yelled fight Naruto quickly rushed Neji who blocked and attacked as well. The Jonins was wondering what Mikado/Naruto was thinking about trying to go head to head with a Hyuuga. As they clashed neither one could get the upper hand, Neji was shocked that his opponent was blocking like an expert so he could not hit his chakra holes. Naruto started to think that Neji was as tough as they come for being a Genin; he was actually giving him a decent battle. As Neji approached he saw an opening and lunged right at his adversary chakra hole and sealed it, he quickly got behind Naruto when he was stunned and swiftly pressed some more chakra holes on his body. As Naruto backed up he could feel his chakra was gone. As Neji smile so did Naruto, which made him wonder what was going through his head.

"You're as good as dead now Mikado! No chakra, no win for you."

As Neji got into the sixty four palm stance he attacked merciless at his adversary. As he looked he noticed that his opponent blocked every single blow thrown at him, Neji couldn't understand it there was no way he should be able to block his attacks without chakra. Naruto saw that Neji was shocked and rushed in and punched Neji so hard that blood flew from his mouth.

"Impossible" yelled Neji! There is no way in hell you could do that? Not against my Byakugan!"

Naruto rushed him once again; Neji performed Hakkeshou Kaiten (Divine Cyclone) and deflected Naruto away from him. Naruto was shocked by that technique and started to approach Neji now with more care. Neji got in his stance once again to perform his sixty four palms and was met with the same effect as before.

"How the hell is he doing this without using chakra, no one is that good to see my attacks? He's still standing there looking at me with those damn eyes of his" as Neji began to get flustered at his opponents arrogance.

This time Naruto waited for Neji to come to him, as Neji attacked again Naruto reached in his satchel and pulled out what appeared to be smoke bombs. Neji jumped back and just looked at his opponent. "Really a smoke bomb do you really think that will work on me? I can see through stone and walls so what make you think that I will be affected by that little smoke bomb of yours?" He gave a smug look at his opponent.

"Whoever said it was a smoke bomb…? Asshole!" As Naruto threw it between them and cover his eyes. It was a special stun bomb that let out a bright light to confuse and disorientate.

Neji went blind for a second, all he could feel was repeated punches all over his head until he succumbed to the blows. Unable to get up, the proctor walked over to Neji and saw that he was beaten very badly and unable to stand up.

As the proctor named Mikado the victor, Naruto came over to Neji.

"Unpredictable ninja you truly are, I never saw that coming. You let me seal your chakra holes on purpose didn't you? You let me think that I was in charge and when I got frustrated I started to think irrationally and I paid the price"

"Yes I let you seal my chakra holes, I seen your teammate Rock Lee fight without chakra against a tough opponent. He used every bit of his strength to overcome an impossible odd and almost won. He inspired me to think outside of the box of being a ninja, he had no chakra but he had courage to do what was needed to win by his heart and skills. I waited for so long to have this match, I trembled with rage on all the terrible things I would do to you for hurting my Hinata! I pictured you broken beyond repair; I wanted to unleash all of my hatred and rage on you. But the thought of me harming you would destroy Hinata; I couldn't bear for her to be sad for something I've done. That's something I could never live with is me being the cause of her pain. When you told me why you tried to harm Hinata, I finally understood you Neji. You are so much like me except I am no genius; all I had was anger, hate for being wronged my entire life. I was ready to punish the innocent along with the guilty because of their hatred for me, then your cousin appeared like an angel and she took me out of the darkness and into the light. She showed me understanding and kindness, friendship and love, she tried showing you the same but you refuse because you had distrust in your heart. Make your own destiny and make many bonds with the people who want to be by your side" as Naruto walked away he knew that he had to come clean with Hinata.

Hinata heard every word that her beloved said and heart melted with happiness that she never felt before in her life. He called her my Hinata, she knew right there that she had his heart. She could only classify this new sensation as a new emotion with no name or definition that adjectives couldn't properly describe, it was only an emotion that was discovered and belong only to her. She smiled and headed toward (Mikado/Naruto).

The Hokage heard his words and was glad that the young Genin was starting become something greater. He listened to the roar of the crowd on seeing a spectacular first match.

Sasuke came onto the field and looked at his rival.

"I wish to challenge you Mikado, you are my equal in every way possible my sharingan is waiting to see every little move you make" as he looked at him sinisterly. "I need to prove myself and my abilities and you are so worthy of me facing you."

"I have no quarrel with you Uchiha, but I have some advice. Power is just an illusion; the real power is protecting the ones you love. I just realized how powerless I am, my abilities could be so much more if I had someone precious to me to protect sooner. If I'd found out that information earlier I would truly be unstoppable ninja. Hinata makes me stronger, even in my dreams I'm not as powerful as when I am with her. Give up your quest for power and revenge, it's a hell filled with seclusion and despair that will only send you to an early grave quicker." Naruto walked past Sasuke.

Sasuke grabbed Naruto's arm stopping him completely. "You're spewing that sentimental bullshit to me! You didn't become this way because of love it was hatred simple and plain, I sensed it when I first met you at the first exam your hatred made the hair on my neck stand up. You know just as well as me, hatred makes your ambitions reality, it gives you motivation for you to succeed!" Sasuke let go of Naruto's arm and walked away.

Naruto shook his head and walked off the field and straight to Hinata handing her a slip of paper. She quickly released Neji's pressure point on Naruto and left his side and did what was on the paper he asked her to do.

The Jonins and the Hokage were impressed by his ingenuity on facing a Hyuuga prodigy; some were starting to wonder if this exam was truly putting him to the test.

The proctor told the crowd that the next match will begin in a half hour, which now was the time to get refreshments from the stadium food court.


As the next match was ready to begin it was Sasuke versus Gaara. As they came onto the field Gaara could feel the difference from last time they battled, he was starting to feel that lust again. Sasuke was more focus and ready for action, especially learning a new technique from Kakashi that could defeat Gaara and even Mikado as well. As they waited for the proctor to tell them to start, both had killing intent that flared. As they heard the word start, they quickly performed their fighting stances. Sasuke jumped backed after he seen Gaara command his sand to come out his gourd, Sasuke threw a couple of shurikens that were easily absorbed by the sand. Sasuke ran toward Gaara but the sand came into defense as he looked at Gaara face to face he suddenly disappeared from Gaara's view. Sasuke moved at Rock Lee speed and came from his blind side and knocked Gaara off his feet. The crowd was going crazy from the action taking place on the field. Meanwhile a jutsu started to be performed on the crowd as they started to fall asleep, the Jonin knew the invasion was about to begin. As the Hokage stood up he was prepared for battle alongside his comrades, when suddenly the Kazekage grabbed the Third Hokage.

"This ends today Sarutobi-sensei, the Leaf village dies tonight by my followers" as he looked at his former teacher.

"You're right this finally ends tonight, Orochimaru" as the Third Hokage broke from his grip.

As the Sound and the Sand attacked they were surprise that the Leaf seemed prepared for the attack. Orochimaru called Jiroubou, Kidoumaru, Sakon, Ukon and Tayuya to form a barrier around him and the Hokage. As they performed the barrier, Orochimaru was ready to take on the Hokage. As Orochimaru approached the Third Hokage the barrier came down, as he looked to see what had happened his followers all received kunais to their head as they lay slumped over dead. As he looked around he saw Naruto coming out from the shadows holding a kunai. Naruto looked down it seemed that Tayuya was still alive, he missed her head but got a large portion of her neck.

"You traitor!" Tayuya looked over and saw her teammate's dead. "I'll kill you fu...fuc…king bastard." She tried to activate her curse seal but Naruto flipped her over and pressed his kunai deep inside her chest. All Orochimaru could hear was her screaming in agony. Naruto flipped her on her stomach and drove the kunai in her back as she slumped over. He pulled her head up by her hair and slammed her head down on the concrete as he looked menacingly at his former sensei.

"You little shit! How dare you betray your master I will kill you for this treachery I trained you and this is what I receive for my thanks! I should have killed you the moment I met you" as he roared in anger at Naruto.

"Should've, could've but didn't. Next time you won't be so careless." Naruto stood over Tayuya and pulled the kunai out of her back." I told her that she would one day meet the end of my kunai, I feel so much better now that she kicked the bucket it feels so…so liberating now that's she gone." Naruto kicked her dead body three times in the ribs as he had a fill of contentment of her demise. "Sorry but it looks like there won't be a next time for you to kill me, here come the ANBU and some Jonin to help send you to hell!" Naruto gave a wicked little smirk.

Orochimaru pulled out his sword and cut Naruto across the chest and a puff of smoke appeared.

"Damn it a Shadow Clone, I'll kill you for this!" as he took off running from Kakashi and the ANBU.

The third Hokage looked in horror on what was done to Orochimaru's student, he couldn't believe the cruelty that emanate from someone so young. As he looked down he saw the young girl was still breathing but barely.

"Medics come help this girl now! But be very careful when you're healing her, she's one of Orochimaru's subordinates."

They quickly tried to heal her as they tried to stabilize the kunai wounds to her upper body and neck. The Third Hokage quickly left the young girl and went to join the battle.

Orochimaru knew that his plan had failed miserably thanks to Naruto's betrayal. He was surrounded by almost every Leaf ninja and villager that could fight and he knew that his death would be immediate if he couldn't find a way out of the village. As he ran away from the villagers he was surrounded by Kakashi and twelve ANBU operatives at a dead end street of the village.

"You're finally going to die Orochimaru any last words before we send you to the spirit world?" Said Kakashi who quickly pulled out his kunai.

"Well I guess before I die you should be warned of the one who betrayed me, he probably made plans of some kind by taking a certain prize kekkei genkai out of the village, maybe a love stricken Hyuuga? I'm pretty sure she will be worth some money for ransom to help build up support for the Sound village for his rule? I'm pretty sure that is what he's planning. He was smarter than I thought; he didn't need to lift a finger to get rid of me" as he chuckled to himself on Naruto cleverness." Mikado Tae Shin will definitely do what I couldn't do, destroy all of you and this village you so much cherish. He's already trained to perfection by yours truly" as he backed up just a bit.

"Mikado is your student?" Yelled Kakashi.

Orochimaru quickly slammed his hand onto the ground and summoned a giant snake to help him escape from his captors. As the snake swallowed Orochimaru whole, it quickly burrowed underneath the ground saving his master.

"Quickly go tell the Hokage of Mikado and his connection to Orochimaru, I'll go and retrieve Hinata Hyuuga from him. I can move faster by myself and you need to get rid of these invaders that stand in your way" as Kakashi started to fight more Sand and Sound ninjas they tried to take him down and stop him from leaving the village.


Naruto was finally far away from the village and was headed to the area where he would meet Hinata. As kept running to his designated area a giant snake came from underground nearby him startling him for a second. As the snake opened his mouth he saw Orochimaru with a fury on his face he never saw before. Naruto quickly darted to a wooded area to take cover from the giant serpent; Orochimaru knew that his summoning snake would not be able to move efficiently in the wooded area so he dispatched him to fight his former pupil one on one.

"You little bastard, all of my men have been slaughtered because of you. And for what? You want to destroy the Leaf all by yourself?" Orochimaru prepared to attack his former disciple.

"Interesting you found me so quick and escaped from the ANBU, you really are impressive as they come but I have business to take care of and I will see you some other time."

"You will die and all for nothing the Leaf is strong as ever and wise about you now so what are you going to do Naruto-kun?"

"I don't care about destroying that hell hole of a village anymore, I have the woman of my dreams and it can't get no better than this" as Naruto jumped down to look at Orochimaru. "I'm no longer your weapon, no longer your ninja, I'm my own man now and I'll have a life with the woman I love,"

"You betrayed me for a girl! A stupid, insignificant and useless girl who's only taking up space in this world? It's time to get rid of you…you useless Jinchuriki" as Orochimaru nostrils flared with anger at his betrayer. "I'm going to make sure that I feed you into itty bitty pieces to my snake summons. You have totally fucked yourself Naruto!"

Orochimaru attacked quickly hoping just to kill him and leave his body for the vultures to scavenge. Naruto ducked and blocked his attacks but did not strike at him. As Naruto dodge his assailant vicious attacks he released his wind jutsu at Orochimaru, as Orochimaru dodged his hostile attack from Naruto, he grabbed him by his throat and slammed Naruto full force to the ground. Naruto quickly wrapped his legs around Orochimaru's arm to bring him down, Orochimaru arm bent like rubber and was released by the arm bar that Naruto put him in. Naruto jumped back and threw two kunais at his target and release an exploding paper tag to get away from his sensei's attack. Orochimaru dodged and used his tremendous speed to punched Naruto in his stomach and planted a well place punch to his head. Naruto staggered but quickly recovered and tried to use the Sarutobi Shadow Dance. Orochimaru caught his elbow and side stepped his leg sweep and got behind Naruto and lifted him up by his neck with his arm. Naruto choked and quickly used his flexibility to kick Orochimaru in the face by bringing his leg straight up by his head striking his former sensei. Orochimaru released the choke hold as he saw Naruto flee from him once again.

"Come and face me you scared little Jinchuriki! You weak, pathetic bastard. I want to see you suffer, if I have to wait five life times I will see you broken in more ways than one."

"You better do it now, because in one year's time I will surpass you and then I'm coming to kill you! That's a promise of a lifetime…believe it!"

As Naruto jumped to the highest branch of tree to look at a new approach on how to handle the situation at hand, he saw Hinata coming from the bushes; Orochimaru noticed her also and smiled at the outcome.

"Mikado-kun what's happening? Who is this man you're fighting and why did I have to meet you here?" As she stood there confused.

"You took my dream I guess I'll take yours!" Orochimaru growled at Naruto with hate, Naruto never heard in his master's voice sound so murderous.

As he darted toward Hinata with his fangs extended to bite her neck, all he could hear was Naruto screaming run away from him. As he approached Hinata at full speed he saw the fear in her eyes. Soon as his fangs penetrated her, it caused an explosion that was heard throughout the forest. Naruto disguised his Exploding Shadow Clone as Hinata.

"Not only am I a good ninja but also a great actor, I been practicing that jutsu for over a month just hoping to use it and to see if it works. This is different from my Shadow Clone Explosion; it's more like a grenade type explosion with my wind element and the Nine Tail's chakra combined inside a Shadow Clone. Once you activated it you received not only the explosion but also the wind cutting and tearing your flesh from your bones, this technique destroys your body on a cellular level it's like being cut by a million razors over and over inside your body" as Naruto felt proud of himself for pulling it off.

Orochimaru body was cut severely and his right arm was missing, he could barely stand and was in no condition to fight. Just as things looked as if it couldn't get any worse Naruto charged Orochimaru with a true Rasengan connecting him with a full blast. As Orochimaru flew back into a tree he just looked at Naruto stunned that he completed the jutsu. Orochimaru spat up more blood than he seen in his whole life of being injured, this was truly the off spring of Minato and Kushina.

"I told you that Rasengan would be the ultimate offensive weapon in my arsenal, and I'm going to keep on modifying it until it reaches legendary status" as Naruto looked into his hand seeing he had the power of life and death in his palm.

"The pupil now equals the master congratulations, but be warned there are others that will come for you so I can wait for your death by the hands of the Akutski or myself. You are on borrowed time Naruto-kun; sayonara Naruto-kun when we meet again it will be for the last time. Either I'll kill you or you'll kill me" as he disappeared into a tree.

"Until that day sensei, live long and well because the day we meet again I'll have more jutsu's that will end that wretched existence of yours."

Naruto quickly headed to the real Hinata destination to inform her of his plans for the future for the both of them. As he ran quickly as possible to get to her, he had no clue on how to tell her he was Naruto Uzumaki. As he looked he seen her by the area he asked her to wait by.

"Mikado-kun I heard a loud explosion I was going to check it out but I didn't want to miss you. Why did you make me come out here and what about the Chunin exam finale? What is going on telling me it was about life and death to leave and meet you here? Hinata looked at her fiancée begging for him to give her some most needed answers.

"Hinata I need you to trust me completely, I have lied and deceived you and what I am about to tell you may cause you to hate me. The Leaf was attacked but I've informed them of Orochimaru's plans, the Leaf is victorious but I once served Orochimaru. Now I am my own man and free from him and I want you to come with me so we can have a future together."

"You lied to me and betrayed me and my village! You are a traitor and you used me completely for your own agenda! Stay away from me; I trusted you and you made me believe in you, you made me fall in love with you. Is Mikado even your real name? It's not is it?" As she screamed in terror to get away from Naruto she punched his chest and smacked his face as she tried to run back to her village.

"Wait" as he grabbed her around the waist, Mikado is not my name but you know me. Look at me and you will see who I am" as Naruto loosened his grip and held her tight as he spoke tenderly to her.

"I know your face and I never met you when I was younger, let me return to my village and you can go to hell whoever you are" as she kept struggling to get away.

"Look into my eyes and you will see the extension of my soul who I really am, just look into my eyes and I will show you who I am" as Naruto gently turn her around. Naruto pulled back all of his hair from his brow to reveal her his eyes completely to her.

As she decided to look just to get away from him she saw his true eyes. She knew those eyes but she knew it wasn't possible.

"You wanted to find Naruto right? I… am... Naruto Uzumaki!" As Naruto was about to change his appearance, Hinata looked at Mikado fearing she hadn't heard right about him being Naruto. Out of pure instinct Naruto felt some kunais heading in his direction, he quickly pushed Hinata away but accidentally pushed her down too hard were she hit her head upon a rock knocking her out.

"So you betrayed Hinata and your master Orochimaru. So are you going to try and sell Hinata to get money for your complete sovereign of the Sound village too? It doesn't matter you will die this day you little bastard" as Kakashi revealed his sharingan eye.

"I don't know what you been told but you got some arrogance thinking I will just roll over and play dead for you! I heard of your legendary skills through Jiraiya and Orochimaru how you're some type of genius way back in the war days; you mastered a thousand jutsu and the son of the legendary White Fang. Doesn't sound impressive to me mastering a thousand jutsu with that pilfered eye of yours, it means that you are way below average because you didn't learn it with your body. So back down or be put down, you scarecrow looking son of a bitch" as Naruto took his stance to face Konoha's most famous and dangerous ninja.
