The Six Eyes of the Snake Chapter 6
AN: Genokiller is back with another installment of The Six Eyes of the Snake. School has been crazy lately since its getting toward the end of the year and since I was tricked into the yearbook class I'v got to make like 30 pages of crap so my writing is a bit slow for that reason but I'm doing what I can and that work is reflected in the following chapter.
Note the numbers so far of the poll will be revealed at the end of the chapter.
Disclaimer: Fine I'll say it I don't own Naruto. You happy now Kishimoto? Cause I'm not, life sucks.
Chapter 6 Survival Training
The new team seven can now be found sitting under a tree waiting for their sensei to show up. They didn't have to wait long since in puff of smoke their snake like sensei arrived. "Alright gaki's for your genin test you have to steal these bells from me who ever doesn't get a bell will be tied to that post," As he gestures to three posts all stuck into the ground, "and will be promptly sent back to the academy for another year of training." As he held up two bells. (1)
They looked at him curiously all noticing the lack of a third bell but it was surprisingly the prince brooder Sasuke himself who decided to voice the teams thoughts, "But sensei there are only two bells wheres the third one?"
The pale sannin chuckled and responded with, "Well I do seem to have only to bells its seems one of you is going back to the academy regardless kukuku."
They all had a look of astonishment on their faces but if one looked closely you could see a glint in the eye of a particular dense spiky blonde haired genin who realized he already knew the secret to this test.
A few moments later Orochimaru set a timer on a stump and then spoke, "You have till noon to take these bells from me," as he tied then to a belt loop on his pants, "Now go!"
Mere seconds after he gave them the ok to go they were completely out of sight and a lesser ninja would have lost them entirely but he wasn't a sannin for nothing as his sensing abilities were rather skilled even for not being a sensor type shinobi he could detect his apprentices strong chakra signal moving towards the other two smaller ones who were hiding.
He mentally cursed as he wondered how he figured out the meaning so quickly, he than mentally cursed, "Damn you Jiraiya you must have told him the story of when we took this same test. Damn it." But he had already began the test and he knew he wasn't allowed to change it but after thinking back on it he realized they would have passed anyway probably so he'd let it slide but he'd make sure to have a few choice words with Jiraiya the next time he saw him.
With Naruto
He ran through the woods looking for Hinata who he knew would be the easiest to convince to team up and he could only hope that the two of them could get through the Uchiha's thick skull to get him to understand the only way they are going to pass is to work together.
He dropped behind her and tapped her on the shoulder only to have to avoid a juken strike but when she saw who it was immediately blushed and stuttered out an apology.
He waved his hands in dismissal knowing she probably felt bad and than spoke, "Hinata we need to work together in order to pass.
As he said those words Hinata began creating a new color of red on her face with how much she was blushing. 'He needs me!' she thought excitedly.
As Naruto continued, "My god father Jiraiya had this same test when he was a genin and he told me the only way to pass is to work as a team."
When she heard this Hinata deflated a little bit but was still happy that Naruto came to her first.
They then dashed off to find Sasuke and hope that they'll be able to get through his thick ego.
They found Sasuke quickly with help from Hinata's Byakugan. They found him hiding in a tree near a clearing where their sensei was just sitting there meditating. Naruto tapped him on the shoulder only to have to bend backwards at an angle that for a normal person would be considered impossible.
When Sasuke saw who it was he put his kunai away and asked gruffly, "What are you two doing here I don't need your help to get a bell."
Naruto sighed expecting this but proceeded to tell Sasuke, "We need to work together to pass the two bells are a trick to split us up, this is the same test that sensei and his team mates had back when they were and my god father ero sennin told me stories of when they took the test and how they discovered the secret to passing, and it was to work as a team and later became famous ninja known for their incredible skill and team work."
Sasuke absorbed the information and decided to weigh his odds and decided that his odds against a sannin alone was pretty slim even people with a god complex admit that fighting any of the sannin is no easy feat especially one known to be the strongest of the three. He nodded and gestured for Naruto to continue.
Naruto obliged and said, "okay heres what were going to do..."
Back with Orochimaru
Orochimaru was just sitting in the clearing meditating while waiting for his new students to make the first move. It had been awhile and they still hadn't made their move. While most new teachers would than get up and start looking for them he just smiled knowing that taking longer but being more efficient is better than going fast and having a possible error.
Orochimaru knew that even if Naruto hadn't already known what the test was about would have been able to figure it out quite easily but that still didn't mean he was any less cross at his peeking team mate any less.
He was than interrupted from his thoughts as he found kunai coming at him from three different directions. Three blurs than launched from the different points around the forest and attempted to assault him. He had to be very careful of his pale eyed student since even a tap from her could do serious damage.
He than noticed Sasuke jump back and start going through hand seals than said, "Katon: Great fire ball jutsu." As he finished the name of his technique a medium sized ball of fire came from his mouth and rushed at Orochimaru he noticed that his two other students had substituted away leaving logs with exploding tags in their place.
Orochimaru realized that they had planned this maneuver and executed it perfectly as he did a quick shunshin away from the colliding balls of destruction. The three genin hopefuls than jumped from where they were to each other, "D-did we get him?" asked Hinata.
Naruto responded, "I seriously doubt it sensei is a sannin you know he wouldn't let something like that hit him, but that leaves the question, where is he?"
As he said that snakes shot from the trees faster than they could follow and proceeded to wrap up Sasuke and Hinata while Naruto was just barely able to blow them away with a Shinra Tensei. He had just drawn his sword to cut his team mates loose when he suddenly noticed a glint of steel out of the corner of his eye and quickly spun around and clashed blades with his sensei.
The older and more experienced shinobi won and Naruto had to jump back. He knew his sensei was holding back a lot or else he would be dead and never would have had time to see the glint of his swords blade. He jumped away while doing some hand seals than spun and launched the attack at his two tied up team mates and yelled, "Futon: wind cutter!" He didn't put near as much chakra into it as he normally would have but he was trying to save his friends not turn them into deli meat so he only put enough chakra in the attack to hurt the snakes so they would release them by forcing them to return to their home.
Orochimaru looked at his apprentice and smiled in pride as he could tell he had taken his teachings and the teachings of all the past Hokages to heart. As he was thinking this he heard the timer he had set go off.
As the three young children sat in front of them and asked them, "All though I assume Naruto already told you the meaning of this test I'm going to ask anyways do you know what the secret to passing the bell test is?
Sasuke decided to answer, "Teamwork," he answered since he had thought more about it as they had been going through, "the point of the bells was to separate us and try to make us compete for them but the way you pass iss seeing beyond that and working together."
Orochimaru smiled as he could already see a change in Sasuke's behavior. He looked over at his other two bloodline holding students and saw determination to do well shining in their uniquely colored eyes. He knew they were going to become a team to rival any other and perhaps take the bannister as the next three legendary ninja.
Later that Day (Sasuke)
Sasuke was returning back to his compound after his passing his second genin test. He was happy and also strangely happy with his team. When he first heard they would be placed on teams he had thought that team mates would only slow him down. But he was noticing that they were actually helping him do better. The plan of attack they had thought of during the test was something that he wouldn't have been able to come up with alone.
And when Orochimaru had tied him and Hinata up with snakes it was Naruto who freed them and he was shocked to realize it felt nice knowing you had people there you could trust to watch your back. As he got closer to his compound a thought crossed his mind that he never thought he would ever in a million years think, "Maybe they could help me deal with HIM."
Later that Day (Hinata)
She walked home timidly walking through the gates and passed the branch member guards. She than approached the main building where the clan head and his family live and she entered the building and was about to head towards the gardens in the back when she heard a stern voice behind her.
"Hinata," her father called out, "Come here at once I must talk with you.
She quietly made her way over to her fathers nearby office and took a seat on one of the large and comfortable chairs that were in front of his desk for when there were important visitors over.
She squirmed slightly under his intense stair until he finally spoke, "So I hear that you passed your second genin test, is this true?" he asked.
"Y-yes tou-sama it is." She answered.
He responded, "Good be sure you do not do anything to dirty our clans reputation, Orochimaru is a powerful shinobi be sure to learn from him well Hinata.
"H-hai tou-sama." She responded.
He nodded to her and dismissed her. She nodded and left the room quietly.
With Naruto
Naruto decided to just go back to his apartment. Having nothing else to do he went home and made himself a quick dinner of some left over sushi he had in his fridge from the other day. After words he went to sleep early so that he would have more energy for the next days team training.
Once he fell asleep he found himself in front of a similar cage. Groaning since he didn't want to talk to fuzzy wuzzy and just wanted to rest. So he yelled, "Yo fuzzball why'd you call me here I'm trying to sleep!?"
He saw the Kyubi come into view before he spoke, "I thought you wanted to know more about your Rinnegan but I guess I was wrong good bye then."
Naruto's eyes widened at this and immediately called out, "Wait wait I do want to learn more.
The Kyubi chuckled before speaking, "I thought you might have a change in heart, as I was saying you currently possess 3 of the six main paths of the Rinnegan, the first one you unlocked was the Deva path which allows you to use your gravity techniques, next you unlocked your animal path which allows you to summon all forms of creatures and animals, and last you have unlocked the Preta path which allows you to absorbs an infinite amount of chakra. The next one I believe you will develop is called the Asura path which allows the user to summon mechanized armor to enhance them in battle and allows you to augment your body with extra limbs and various robotic weaponry. (2) I shall not reveal to you the others just yet as you are not even close to unlocking them. The last two are quite difficult."
Naruto groaned in disappointment wanting to everything he could about his bloodline but he knew the Kyubi wouldn't budge since it never had in the past.
After their talk the Kyubi let Naruto's mind go to slumber land
Chapter End
An: I know this chapter is significantly shorter than the last one but that is because the next one is going to be very long if my prediction is correct since I'm going to get most of the way through the wave arc if things go according to plan. So again I am sorry but I'll make up for it in the next chapter.
Now to the poll I'm sure your all anxious to know how its going but I was greatly disappointed at the few amount of votes I got. Though before I reveal the results I should explain how I cast votes I only allow each person one vote so if one person votes for two people each of those people get half a vote not a full one. So please remember this if and hopefully when you vote in the future. So if you have two people you like but one you like more put that one instead. If you have already voted but would like to change your vote feel free but please tell me if you do I would greatly appreciate it if you tell me that you are revoting to help me.
Behold the current runnings:
1. Kin 3 1/2
2. Tayuya 2 1/2, Tenten 2 1/2
3. Ino 2
4. Shion 1 1/2
As you can see the current runnings are Kin in first with 3.5 votes and Tayuya and Kin right on her tail with 2.5 votes each. Lagging in third is Ino with a total of 2 votes and Shion in last with 1.5 votes.
Remember vote for who you want to win I had a couple people review without voting which is ok I love all reviews except for flames but if your going to review I would greatly appreciate it if you voted.
With these parting words this is Genokiller saying goodnight/good morning/ or good afternoon (whatever time it is for you the person reading this).
