Hey guys! Sorry for being so late, my free time has been almost nil, then I got a whole lot of it but when I tried to write this chapter and the new chapter for 'The Straw Hat and the Black Cloak', I had them done, but rewrote them a whole lot, and so it's kind of been a hassle lately. That doesn't even include the amount of times my internet dropped out, it's like I live in the Blue Mountains or something. Whenever I tried uploading anything, it crapped out and I lost it. I usually write it on the site in the copy and paste thing because I don't have Word or anything. Anyway, things happened but now it's all sorted out. Also! Thank you to everyone who has stayed with me so far, I appreciate it. The current results for the poll are;

Yugito Nii - 6

Fem Nine Tails - 6

Hinata Hyuuga - 3

Temari - 3

Tenten - 2

Other Fem Characters - 2

Ayame - 2

Ino Yamanaka - 1

OC - 0

No Pairing - 0

Without further ado, let's start the next chapter!

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, but, if Kishimoto were asleep with the rights next to his bed, then maybe I could steal them. Or not, it would be too troublesome.

As Naruto and his team were travelling back to the Hidden Leaf Village, 5 Sound Ninja jumped in front of them. It seemed that these five were the reanimated Jirobo, Kidomaru, Sakon/Ukon, Tayuya and Kimimaro.

"You guys again, I thought we already had our little fights, and I'm pretty sure my teammates beat all of you. I don't like to brag, but I'm pretty sure I'm stronger than all of them." Naruto said with a grin as he got into a battle stance.

"We have been given more power by Lord Orochimaru himself, we will defeat you and take you to Lord Orochimaru himself, Uzumaki." Kimimaro stated as he took a sharpened bone out of his palm and held it like a sword.

"Kukuku, now that won't be necessary Kimimaro, I can do this myself." A snake like voice said as a figure stepped out from behind the tree.

"Lord Orochimaru, please, let me show you my new power." Kimimaro said as he knelt before his master.

"No, he is too strong for any of you, I will fight him myself. It will be quite the challenge, kukuku." Orochimaru said as he approached Naruto.

"Sasuke, Sakura, you two take care of the other five, I'll take care of the Snake-Pedo." Naruto said as he started to walk off the path into the forest, leading Orochimaru away.

"Why you dobe? Why do you fight the strongest enemy, I should, I am stronger than you!" Sasuke yelled

"Shut up Sasuke! He is after me, plus I smashed your ass into the ground when I did the skill test and became a Jonin, therefore I am stronger. So shut your whining and get ready to fight!" Naruto replied back to no small amount of frustration. Sasuke grit his teeth and drew his sword, facing the five enemies who were now in a formation, Jirobo at the front, Kidomaru, Kimimaro and Sakon/Ukon behind him in a line, from Sasuke's left to right respectively, and Tayuya at the back, making the formation look like a plus sign.

"So Naruto, how have you been all these years? I heard you were banished from the village, what are you doing with that headband on your arm, hm?"

"Shut up snake face, I have no right to answer to you, nor anyone else besides the Hokage and Pervy Sage. You just decided to be a crybaby and start experimenting on people because my dad became the Fourth Hokage instead of you, you're just like Tai Lung. You could start a club! Crybabies Who Hurt People Because They Don't Get What They Want. It'll be fun." Naruto replied.

"Ooh, scathing, but can we get on with the fight already? I'm getting quite bored." Orochimaru said as his tongue flicked out of his mouth like a snake's.

"Let's."

Naruto and Orochimaru stood, not making a single move, as a single falling leaf touched the ground, they struck. Naruto sped towards Orochimaru with a right cross. Orochimaru blocked his arm, grabbed it and flipped him over his shoulder. As Naruto hit the ground, he ripped his arm out of Orochimaru's grip and rolled to the side, dodging the stomp that would have caved his head in. Naruto jumped to his feet just in time to catch a roundhouse kick from Orochimaru before throwing it back violently, however, Orochimaru slightly bent his knees as his foot hit the ground, keeping him balanced, before Orochimaru received a haymaker to the face. As Orochimaru's body started to spin, he dropped to the ground and swept Naruto's leg out from under him before grabbing his foot and pulling Naruto towards himself, Naruto ripped his leg out of Orochimaru's grasp before taking a second to jump to his feet. But that second was all that Orochimaru needed to elongate his neck and sink his fangs into Naruto's neck, implanting him with a new curse mark. The Cursed Seal of Hell, an amalgamation of the Cursed Seals of Heaven and Earth. Naruto fell to his knees, screaming in pain and holding his neck.

"Pulse your chakra into this seal if you want to upgrade your seal to level two for more power Naruto, I'll be waiting. Kukuku." Orochimaru said as he gave Naruto a slip of paper and walked towards where the reanimated Sound 5 were.

"Stop, I'll... get... you...ughh..." Naruto said as he slipped into unconsciousness.

"Come, Kimimaro, Sakon, Ukon, Jirobo, Kidomaru, Tayuya, our job here is completed." Orochimaru said, instructing the Sound 5 to stop their battles. "We will see Naruto and Sasuke again soon I think. Kukuku."

"Orochimaru! I'll kill you!" Sasuke screamed as he sped towards the third member of the Sannin. However, all six enemies vanished in a Body Flicker. "Damn it! Sakura, go check on Uzumaki."

"Right."

As soon as Sakura said that an explosion of purple chakra alerted the two to Naruto's presence.

"Is that Naruto?" Sakura asked Sasuke.

"Damn, he must have got him with a cursed seal. It seems more powerful than mine though, and mine was supposed to be tied with the most powerful along with Bone Freak's." Sasuke said to himself.

Naruto came stumbling out of the forest and immediately noticed the other two members of Team 7.

"Hey, what the fuck is wrong with you cocksuckers..." Naruto said as the purple chakra cut off and he fell to the ground, unconscious once again.

'Great, now we have to lug him allll the way back to the village, damn it Uzumaki.' Sasuke thought to himself.

The Next Day

As Sasuke and Sakura walked back to the village with Naruto on Sasuke's back, a Hidden Stone Ninja appeared in front of them.

"Not again, what do you want?" Sasuke asked the ninja.

"We just want Uzumaki, our Tsuchikage wishes to speak to him. Hand him over and there will be no dispute." The ninja said.

"I don't really like him, but I am not handing over a ninja who is possibly one of the strongest in the whole village, plus I don't think that I am content with not having a rematch. So I'm not handing him over to you." Sasuke replied.

"Too bad, I guess we will be going then. Goodbye, Uchiha." The Stone ninja said as he faded out of existence.

"Shit, genjutsu!" Sasuke realised. "Release!" Sasuke released the genjutsu, but it was too late, the Stone ninja was gone, along with Naruto.

"Ah, shit. Well, this doesn't look good."

A Few Days Later

Naruto woke up on a couch, a vaguely familiar couch.

"Hey asshole. You up yet?" A female voice asked.

"Who-wha-huh?" Naruto said as he was still drowsy. "Kurotsuchi, wha-what happened?" Naruto asked as he saw the granddaughter of the Third Tsuchikage standing in front of him with a very large stomach.

"You happened, since you left eight and a half months ago I've been feeling sick, I was removed from active duty four months ago. I guess you didn't know did you, that's why you left. Can you guess why I'm mad?" Kurotsuchi said angrily, before sitting down on the couch.

"Wait, so the night before I left wasn't a dream?" Naruto asked.

"Nope."

"So you-me-us-that?"

"Yep."

Naruto then passed out once again.

Well, wasn't that fun? So, hopefully I can finish the next chapter for 'The Straw Hat and the Black Cloak' soon. Anyway, thank you guys for reading this. Every time I look at the views, favourite, stuff like that, I just get blown away, and realise how many people enjoy this. I guess I haven't been thinking about it lately, but again, just looking at those things, really just overwhelms me. So thank you all for reading this stuff. I mean, you guys are the reason I write, your feedback and the amount of you who enjoy it, that motivates me when I look at it, and that is probably the reason most writers write, because they are motivated by you guys, the readers, as well as just putting their imagination onto 'paper', so to speak.
