Naruto began running toward the snake man.

Said man just laughed, "Your a cocky one aren't you?" His question went unanswered as he dodged a punch, "Oh well I'll just have to teach you some manners,"

A third tail sprout out from Naruto's back. It was the only way he could take on the snake man at the moment, "Your a persistent one aren't you?" Said snake man's question went unanswered as three chakra tails went racing toward the man. He dodged them swiftly, "It seems you cannot control this form very well. Thats pleasing to hear," Orochimaru didn't want to deal with a jinchurriki in control of their power.

Naruto simply rushed toward Orochimaru as Sasuke grabbed Sakura who looked even more terrified before, "We need to get out of here... As much as I hate to say it, we're dead weight at the moment," Sasuke's words caught the attention of Orochimaru.

Orochimaru suddenly stopped and a sword came out of his mouth, "I will have to deal with you quickly brat, I cannot let my prize get away," Orochimaru knew that Sasuke would be hiding perfectly by the time he killed the blond brat.

Naruto snarled and rushed toward Orochimaru, forming another Rasengan, "I won't let you get to them," Naruto's voice was now more demonic than ever. Orochimaru personally was fond of the voice. Less annoying than before. He would have laughed at the boy's threat but he noticed he was coming a little too close to comfort and he wasn't a fan of having his insides churned.

Orochimaru extended the Kusanagi's blade to attack the blond brat but he evaded before making his way over to Orochimaru who went through a few simple hand seals, "Wind style: great breakthrough," Another gust of wind was sent through the forest, sending Naruto back and causing the Rasengan to dissipate.

Naruto quickly recovered. He retaliated with one of his favorite wind jutsu, "WIND STYLE: GREAT WIND BULLETS JUTSU!" Naruto spat out thousands of wind bullets at Orochimaru at incredible speeds, One of his chakra tails disappeared though. Oorchimaru was pelted with wind bullets, Dozens piercing his body but nothing that required him to heal at the moment.

Orochimaru just smirked sadistically. The brat was less powerful now. He could now just poke him with the Kusanagi once. But where's the fun in that? "That won't help you. Your wind bullets are insignificant compared to the jutsu I can do," Orochimaru was hoping to strike fear into the feral brat.

Unluckily for him, He didn't. Naruto just laughed, "Show me then creep," Naruto begun rushing toward Orochimaru on all fours, Like a fox. He then jumped into the air and formed a Rasengan, "I'll just smash that ugly head of yours open!" His voice boomed through out the forest.

Orochimaru decided to give the brat just a taste of what he was capable of. The snake like man then went through many hand seals within an instant, "Shadow shuriken jutsu," He threw 25 shuriken which multiplied into 250. All of which were set to pierce Naruto's skull. Orochimaru smirked, "Now off to claim my prize," Orochimaru thought he had won.

Naruto roared loudly, sending all of the shuriken back toward a shocked Orochimaru, "Like I said, Never underestimate Naruto Uzumaki!" Naruto then blazed through some hand seals some more, Another tail of chakra promptly appeared then disappeared, "MASS WIND CLONE JUTSU!" Naruto shouted and roughly a thousand wind clones appeared which made Orochimaru shocked once more. He didn't have time to respond though. naruto knew Sakura and Sasuke were out of the way. This wouldn't reach them. He then went through some hand seals once more. Some Orochimaru recognised very well, "Fire style: Fire ball jutsu!" Naruto spat out a small fireball. Setting the forest ablaze in a massive explosion with his wind clones being the starter

*BOOOOOOOM!*

Naruto's massive explosion soon died out which left Naruto in a one tailed state and Orochimaru as a burnt carcass, "That'll teach you to never mess with Naruto Uzumaki Dattebayo!" Naruto's celebration was short lasted though as he could see the carcass's mouth mouth move and expand. Another perfectly fine Orochimaru stepped out of the carcass.

He clapped, "I'm truly impressed, wind clones as conductors for an explosion. I see that took a lot of chakra out of you. A shame really, you could have lasted just a bit longer against me if you had kept that second tail up," Orochimaru blitzed Naruto, Punching him in the stomach which sent the boy flying away, "Perhaps as a reward I shall let loose a little bit," Orochimaru knew that with Naruto's little stunt there would probably be anbu here soon anyways. He'd be back in a mere minute soon enough after he defeated the brat.

Orochimaru blitzed toward Naruto who landed near Team Seven, "I see its time to claim my prize," He saw a passed-out Sasuke and Sakura hiding together.

Naruto stood up. Now sprouting another tail of chakra once more. It seemed the fox was being real generous today, " I won't let you touch them you pedophilic bastard," The boy's voice sounded more like a growl than anything really

The fox spoke to Naruto from within his mind, "Let me give you some more of my power brat... I don't want to die because some lesser being killed you due to your ego," The Kyuubi was prideful. It as much as it hated its host, considered him a step above the rest of the lowly beings in the world due to being its host. He didn't want to die to a man a few steps below that.

Naruto disagreed, 'I don't want to lose control again, I might hurt Sasuke and Sakura,' His reply angered the fox but he had no time to reply as Naruto watched Orochimaru bite into Sasuke causing him to awaken in pain and promptly pass out again. Naruto knew this was bad, "You gave my friend a hicky... Ew gross," He was truly mad as he could feel the evil from the mark. It was more evil than even the Kyuubi's chakra.

Orochimaru ignored the comment, "Now I'll deal with you brat," A bunch of snakes appeared from his sleeves and rushed toward Naruto. Their poison from just one of their fangs alone could take down an elephant in a mere minute. He wondered what it'd do to a human... if there were a thousand fangs.

Naruto flashed through hand seals once more, " Wind style: Great breakthrough!" The snakes were sent flying away quickly, Naruto rushed toward Orochimaru and they engaged in Taijutsu

Naruto swiped at Orochimaru who kept dodging skillfully. Punches were thrown from both sides, Orochimaru's damaging Naruto slightly whereas Orochimaru was evading most of Naruto's hits. It was an uphill battle for Naruto though that's for sure.

Orochimaru eventually Kicked Naruto away, over to Sakura and Sasuke, Orochimaru then walked up to Naruto, Five glowing finger tips, "Its been fun brat. But I need to go now," Orochimaru grabbed Naruto with his tongue. As painful as it turned out to be and lifted his shirt up, "Five element seal!" Naruto turned into a log, "What?!" Orochimaru saw a sphere of chakra go through his stomach. Blood gushed out of his mouth, "The kawarimi jutsu?" He looked behind him and saw Naruto in a three tailed state with his hand going through Orochimaru's back and spine. That would kill anyone else.

Another Orochimaru crawled out of the mouth of the previous one and Kicked Naruto in the face, sending him flying away.

Orochimaru then followed with the five element seal formed in his hands, "Five element seal!" He slammed it into Naruto this time as they landed back where the rest of team seven was. Orochimaru's hand slammed into Naruto. Hard and he immediately passed out after trying to fight against his power being taken away.

Orochimaru was happy with his handy work, "Now off to the tower as an unassuming Oto jonin,"

Soon 5 anbu entered the area, "Inu you might want to see this!"

"What!"

Kukui's pov

The sea of flame died down and we were rushed by a hoard of lightning clones, "Wind style: Great breakthrough!" Tenten spammed the great breakthrough, dissipating the clones with ease. It we made it out of here alive I was doing something nice for her.

I engaged in taijutsu with a boy who had a scar round his left eye and nose, "Hey ugly lets try to keep this civil," I grabbed his left hand as I punched him in the nose with my free hand. I used his hand to go through hand seals, "Fire style: Fireball jutsu!" I spat out my most iconic jutsu at the boy, hoping for a kill but my luck was cut short when a chukuto chopped through the fireball.

I looked to the person with the blade. Omoi, "I won't let you kill another one of my comrades, " He spat out a stream of lighting which shocked me and went for a slash at my throat, "This is for Komoi you bastard," I kawarimied with a log and the chukoto went straight through it. It would have been me.

I waved from my pearch on a tree nearby, "Nice swing. Would have been better if you actually hit me," I then unsheathed my own blade, "Here let me show you how a pro does it," I channeled lightning through my blade as well and dropped down.

*Clang!* Our blades collided midair as I felt danger sense go off. I ducked under a kunai that was aimed straight for my head by Karui. She had joined the fight. I was taking on three whereas Tenten was taking on two, "Its three vs one you bastard. you can't win!" Karui looked very happy. Man I hated life sometimes.

I shrugged, "I like these odds but I'd like it even more if I had some help, Lightning release: Lightning clone jutsu," I spat out three lightning clones. Thankfully this was one of the few jutsu I was able to do, "Now I like these odds a lot more," I grinned and me and my clones attacked.

2 went for the guy with the scars. I went for Omoi and the rest went for Karui. I noticed Tenten was holding them off with Hidan's scythe. It seemed she was fairing a lot better than me. Good to know. She could hopefully go find Mika soon and make sure she's okay. I could take these three on myself. If need be I'd just use... My train of thought was cut off by one of them announcing a jutsu, "LIGHTNING STYLE: LIGHTNING DRAGONS JUTSU!" Three dragons made of lightning materialised nearby the scarred kid who was smirking, "This is my most powerful jutsu. With the thunder roar be gone!" The lightning dragons roared at me and began to rush toward me at an exceedingly high speed.

I saw them in slow-motion. I didn't have time to dodge. I could pad the blow but I'd be knocked out... shit. It was a loose loose situation here no matter what I did. I'd die no matter what now. Damn bullshit jutsu. Even if I tried that one I'd fail. Fuck it I'd take my chances.

I tapped my foot onto the ground and raised a wall of lightning. The dragons went through it but their momentum was slowed down enough to where I'd survive. In my last moments of consciouceness I saw Tenten pierce the heart of one of the other genin. One down... four to go.

I grinned as I passed out. Hoping I wouldn't die.

Tenten's pov: third person

'This is bad. Kukui's passed out and Mika's not able to fight. What should I do?' Tenten had just taken out one of the Kumo genin. The other three had just knocked out her teammate and were now ready to focus on her. They looked pissed.

Tenten dodged a chukoto slash from all but one of the genin. Her arm sliced open and it hurt a lot the girl grinned, " You bitch! We finally got you. This is for our comrades!" Tenten knew that this was going to be lights out for her. She didn't like it. The four Kumo genin jumped into the air, "And after we're done with you we'll torture your friends!" Tenten didn't want that to happen. She looked for an out. A way to escape but they had her surrounded.

In her mind the kind being that helped her against the iwa genin spoke, 'Use my power child. You are not ready to take these ones on yourself. I'll teach you the way of true power,' Tenten knew that trusting the voice was a bad thing. She really did. But it had been so kind and encouraging to her. Only asking for the scythe she had gotten from Hidan to be used in the killing of her opponents. That truly wasn't an inconvenience either as Tenten enjoyed using the scythe.

She saw four people descend upon her. She knew it was do or die now, 'Okay!' The voice internally smirked and tainted chakra coursed through Tenten. Powerful chakra. Suddenly the corpse of the previous genin she had killed sprung to life. Blood poured out of it and rose to Tenten's defense. The Kumo genin were shocked and horrified.

Omoi looked the most horrified, "T-thats Somoi's blood... You monster!" He regained his composure as the blood thickened and hardened. Forming a dome like barrier above Tenten. Tenten was in awe at the sight. She then heard the very nice sound of blades shattering as they hit the blood dome. The blood liquified again and went on the attack. Forming four red tendrils that attached themselves to Tenten's lower back. They then proceeded to become pointy.

Karui glared at Tenten, "What are you?" She was horrified that someone could use blood Jutsu. The mere thought of it was horrifying. She only hoped that she couldn't control blood from inside people.

Tenten smiled, "A shinobi," The four tendrills combined together and smashed down onto the ground and quickly reformed as dust was kicked up. This was good for Tenten. Really good, "A shinobi who is very angry right now," Tenten had successfully turned the tides of battle. She quickly made it to Kukui and stood over him. Now knowing where he was and knowing he'd be safe. It'd allow her to go crazy.

The Kumo genin couldn't see a thing. They were terrified by one person now. The tables had turned drastically and Karui didn't like it, "We need to get out of here!" Karui's voice boomed through the area alerting the other Kumo genin and Tenten to her location.

The other Kumo genin grouped up with each other, " Where's Korui?" Komoi asked as soon as the team regrouped.

"AHHH," A voice that was filled with pain screamed.

"We need to go help him!" Omoi didn't want anymore of his comrades to die. First Marui. Then Somoi. Korui couldn't die too. No way. The scumbag still needed to pay up for last weeks lunch! All jokes aside. Omoi didn't want a friend to die.

Karui and Komoi shook their heads, "We need to get out of here. They would want this," Karui's words hurt Omoi. They just couldn't leave him to die. But he knew it to be the truth.

Omoi lowered his head and the Kumo genin retreated.

Back with Tenten she had just finished sacrificing the Kumo genin. She was horrified, "I really just did that. Oh my god. I just did... That felt horrible..." Her wounds regenerated as she decided to pick up Kukui and go find Mika.

The kind voice spoke up once more, 'Do not feel ashamed of your actions child. You have saved your teammate using the power I gave you. Nobody would judge you for doing so,' The voices words calmed down Tenten a lot. They were reassuring to her.

Tenten smiled, 'Thank you for your help,'

The voice smirked once more from their prison, 'It was of no problem to me. I only want the best for my disciples. Now we shall go find your other teammate,'

Tenten nodded and soon she found Mika.

Chapter end!

Well that was fucking awesome. I loved writing this chapter. I really fucking did although I lost motivation half way through. I originally started this three days ago. Lol. Anyways I hope you enjoyed as the forest of death isn't over yet. We still have a chapter or two to go! I originally intended to show Tentens fight with the two other Kumo genin but I'm going to be honest they were meant to just be fodder. A plot device. They worked hella well.

Anyways we will have a lot of stuff next chapter! I hope! Anyways I'm not going to make this too long so lets just end this with a few more nuggets of info. Kukui would have stomped the Kumo genin had he had all of his jutsu. Most of his jutsu are countered by the Kumo genin but there are a few that don't like the great fire annihilation and two other jutsu I won't spoil. Mika could have helped in the fight but she'd be a lot slower with her leg injury. Tenten could have taken out the Kumo genin separately. But thanks to specialization they are kinda crippled when they don't have access to their specialties. Thats kinda what I wanted to show here.(EDIT: I also forgot to mention Orochimaru and Naruto. Orochimaru was playing around. He could have stomped Naruto if he was being serious. Naruto would have needed 5 tails to beat him. Even then its iffy)Kukui using other people's hands for hand seals will continue to appear. I love the concept of it and frankly it should have been used more in the series.

Now that that's out of the way. Question of the chapter time!

Question: If you could have any digimon which one would you have? (I personally would have either a Patamon or an Agumon... No I'm not getting the angewoman or lilithmon. No I'm not horny,)

Now Tobi-kun out!

Ta Ta!
