Arc 3: the chunin exams part 1
it had been several days since they got back from back from the land of waves and Kurama was resting up, Haku had been placed as a nin for team 7 during c levels and above but wasn't allowed to do petty tasks because of her background. They wear still checking out her loyalty to konoha but the only one she thought she had any loyalty to was Kurama, she understood his pain for something that wasn't his fault though Kurama made sure it didn't get into "that" area because of his relationship with Hinata.
Hinata was getting stronger by the day, her chakra reserves wear growing thanks to experience and she learnt new jutsu including the gentle step twin lion fists, her medical skills wear increasing after Kurama taught her how heal. She began to learn how to heal increasingly more dangerous wounds and create cures and medication out of leaves, needless to say she already a good medic nin.
Kurama Uzumaki formally known as Naruto Uzumaki had learnt how to control his seal more unlocking a third state known as Gekido state. Each of the marks of his seal allowed him to go into a different form this allowed for different Jutsu to be used and change his affinity. his newly unlocked Gekido state once active allowed his hair to grow longer and retain its yellow colour his eyes became more red and his whisker marks grew bolder, this form allowed him to control and manipulate black flames that he could spit, throw and fire. He already discovered his wind and fire affinity and experimented with his fire abilities he discovered he could use his wind and fire to create smoke this allowed him to create smoke release, the abilities wear limited at the moment the best he could do was solidify the smoke in order to create some weapons these included Kunai. he could also now absorb smoke into his body, but in reality he just put smoke cells on top of his existing cells and skin and cloths this allowed him to create kunai at will.
Sasuke's skill didn't change much to his disappointment or rage, he flipped a table once or twice but inside he was even more pissed he was at the level of killing himself to activate his Sharingan but nothing worked, the Pathetic uchiha watched as his teammates grew superior in strength, jutsu, chakra control and more while he was left in the dirt, even Kakashi was pissed at his lack of progress despite learning the chidori they still had superior power.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
It was Friday and Kakashi had just told them about the chunin exam and all had accepted even Haku was included they wear all exited everyone had accepted, they met each other at the correct room not the Genjutsu room and applied afterwards they walked into the room.
"Hey Sasuke" yelled Sakura, all of them groaned expect Haku who didn't understand
"Oh shut up you whore" Hinata quickly yelled back
"Fuck off you slut all you want is Naruto's cock"
"And you don't want Sasuke's"
"Well id didn't hear a denial"
"Hey well guess what at least he likes me" sakura was furious she went into to punch her but then felt a hand on her wrist, the next thing she was new she was thrown towards Hinata who knocked her out.
"Thank Kuramamaru-kun I needed to put that bitch out" making the blonde haired Uzumaki smile
"you're welcome" he beamed back, making her giggle while Kurama chuckled with her, all the other wear quite shocked first the young "timid" hyuuga heiress just knocked out sakura Haruno, second she and Kuramamaru had just giggled about it like it was nothing and third she was FUCKING GIGGLING a spectacle no one had seen from the shy Hyuuga.
"Hi…hi. Hinata!?" exclaimed Kiba, kiba always tried to talk to Hinata but he realised she liked Kurama more maybe that's why he bullied him as a child but he was still always left in the dirt.
"What!?" she barked making him flinch
"It's just" he paused "why have you changed so much" she looked at him puzzled
"I don't know what you mean by changed, I haven't even changed a bit"
"Well actually" started shino, sakura, Sasuke and kiba
"Whatever" said Hinata before she turned around to Kuramamaru dismissing there concern
"Hey you guys calm down" said a Unknown voice
"Kabuto!" yelled a happy Kuramamaru
"Oh hey there Uzu" he replied
"Wait Kuramamaru-kun you know him"
"Yeah I've known since I was a child but he was part of the Anbu adoption program, so I didn't meet him much"
"So why did he call you Uzu"
"Oh that's my nickname, because im from the Uzumaki clan"
"A bit uninspired don't you think?" Kurama just shrugged his shoulders and laughed
"So you want to get some info on your opponents"
"Sure" said Kurama
"Okay then, who" asked Kabuto
"I want to see who the best of my team I also want to see Gaara of the sand's card" he said
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
it had been 4 days since he meet Gaara of the sand and let's just say they didn't get on with the sand nin immediately the only sand nin there that seemed a challenge was Gaara of the sand, what scared the sand nin was Kurama's likeness to Gaara. It scarred them shitless to see a second Gaara walking around, but it might of secretly comforted Gaara and Kurama to know someone else knew there pain.
"Are those sand nin" asked Hinata as they hopped from building to building to ichiraku's
"Wait what?" asked Kurama he said stopping he looked down to the pavement wear he saw three children one he recognized on the ground in front of two sand nin one was a woman with blonde hair the other was a man with black clothing and purple war paint with a puppet attached to back covered in cloths.
"Hey what do you think you doing!" yelled Kurama as he jumped from the roof and smacked the purple war paint wearing one in the face knocking him to the ground causing Kurama to fling himself into the air and land on his feet, "Konohamaru are you alright"
"Yeah Kurama" he weakly said
"You bastard you'll pay for that" yelled an enraged konkoro
"Konkoro stop" said a firm voice they both looked up there was a younger sibling standing on a tree branch with his hands crossed "come on let's go" he looked at Kurama, "interesting you must be Naruto Uzumaki the jinchuriki of the Nine tailed fox"
"How did you know" he asked both of the other stopped and starred "besides I've retracted my name im known as Kuramamaru now!" he announced
"Interesting, the reason I know is that I can feel it's presence within you it's stronger Ive ever felt you've embraced you're hatred as have I, you've a become demon like me" he smiled "I am the host of the one tailed beast Shukaku of the sand I understand your pain Kuramamaru Uzumaki, I find it interesting that you renamed yourself after the demon that made your life a misery"
"Well actually two things, one my mother named me this when I was a child in honour of the demon and two the beast himself comforted my lonely existence by adopting me"
"Mothers, hmm is your mother alive Kuramamaru"
"I don't know" he said angry
"Interesting so why wear you called Naruto before"
"Because my fucking father the fourth hokage minato Namikaze, sealed it within my body after ripping it out of my mother's body and hopefully wanting absorb its chakra and use it as a weapon"
"I believe that you're mother is wanting to meet you" he smiled "soon Kuramamaru you will find your destiny and soon a new family" he said before he disappeared in a puff of smoke revealing he was a Shadow clone.
"So that was Gaara, why is abscessed about his mother"
"Gaara is adopted, he had the Shukaku sealed within him when we found hm and we took him in, are farther his adoptive father wanted to control the Shukaku from the moment we found him"
"Found him?" he questioned
"yeah 13 years ago there was disturbance in the mountains nearby a small village wear some of our sages rest was attacked by a unleashed Shukaku it was sealed in Gaara everyone was dead and we believed that the creature killed the sealer though we never found any proof"
"Hmmm"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"the three of you easy" Kabuto placed his fingers on two cars they began spin as an profile appeared on the first two they wear Sasuke and Hinata "okay says hear that Hinata is an A with her Ninjutsu B with her Taijutsu and C+ with her Genjutsu she's been on 40 d rank missions, 2 C rank, 4 B rank and 0 a rank or s rank"
"Wait since when did you go on an additional C rank and 4 b rank" asked Sasuke
"After I left the hospital I was only there a day Kurama healed most of my wounds on the way home, so I was fine"
"Argh" was Sasuke manage in his rage
"Next we have Sasuke Uchiha A+ Ninjutsu, C Taijutsu and C Genjutsu 40 d rank, 2 C rank, 0 B, A and S ranks 40 D rank, 2 C rank, 1 B rank and no A or c as expected" he said "Finally Kuramamaru Uzumaki S+ Ninjutsu, A Taijutsu and B Genjutsu 40 D rank, 4 C rank, 6 B rank and oh wow an A rank and hell even an S rank how the hell did you get those"
"Well I may have snuck into the Hokage's office found a few S-ranks and A-ranks completed them and told the Hokage" he smiled "there pretty easy"
"Hell you have Senjutsu score hear as well, you're a C rank but no one else hear can do that instantly makes you a Jonin"
"Well what about Gaara"
"oh yeah S rank in Ninjutsu and A in tai while lacking In Gen with only a c, he's completed 100 d ranks, 30 c ranks, 10 a ranks and 3 S ranks never done any be ranks and adopted son of the fourth Kazekage"
"Interesting" he said Sounding like Gaara himself
"You sounded like him then" Hinata Giggled
"Interesting" he repeated like Gaara making her giggle
"Oh this is interesting you and Gaara haven't come back with any significant wounds" everybody gasped other than Hinata while Kuramamaru just grinned.
"That's bullshit it has to be" yelled Sasuke
"Well I can vouch that ive never came back with a wound" said a stern voice standing behind them was Gaara
"So then you must be Gaara? Im looking forward to facing you" said Sasuke
"The only person I want to face is Kuramamaru Uzumaki" he said pointing at the blonde
"What why would you want to fight a loser like him he has no skill, why would you want to fight him instead of the last Uchiha"
"Because you wear in the hospital for 3 weeks while the Uzumaki was only in there for a day, obviously he is stronger than you"
"what no he's not, I mean if he didn't come back without a scratch then why was he in the hospital" Gaara just shrugged his shoulders and walked off
"Argh" suddenly a door flung open
"ALRIGHT MAGGOTS IT'S TIME TO TAKE THE WRITTEN TEST" barked ibiki he quickly went through the rules while some got upset, they began the written test in 10 minutes. Kurama had finished the test and started to take a nap, meanwhile Hinata used her Byakugan to steal Kuramamaru answers she felt a little dirty doing so but it didn't matter knowing he didn't mind. Meanwhile Sasuke just wrote down the answer though he was stuck on number 6.
After a hour and a half they wear told about question 10 and passed then Anko came in fucking up her presentation which made Kurama smile. Then she took them to the forest of death a statement which is quite funny seeing how uncaringly she told them about it and the rules.
"Hmph sounds easy" suddenly a Kunai whipped past his face and a small cut appeared on his check suddenly Anko was behind him with a Kunai licking the blood of his check.
"if you think this going to be easy, then your sorely mistaken" she said with a Kunai to his face all he did was smile what shocked her is when she looked at the cut it was gone.
"What's the matter have you spotted my gift already?" he questioned
"I would hardly call it a gift" she thought but what creeped her out more was his red eyes wear now slited
"Oh you look like you're about to shit your pants" he laughed "anyway my team should go its way, bye" making a awfully pale man smiled he turned to the hooded figure next to him and nodded making the figure disappear.
"Why you little" she started but stopped when Ibiki stopped her
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
it had been about 40 minutes since they got into the forest. Kurama was in charge by a land slide and they wear constantly moving suddenly a large snake appeared and attacked them spreading them out.
"Aak" spitted Sasuke as he fell to one of the tree branches.
"Argh" said Hinata as she hit the floor
"Hmph" muttered Kurama as he landed on the three trunk.
"ahh" said Haku as she landed several feet away from them
"Interesting out of the four of you, you landed on your feet" said a pale man
"Who are you, no normal genin should be able to summon!" He yelled
"And you are able to tell that I am using a summon and that normal genin would be unable to perform such a Jutsu, well done Kurama"
"How do know my name?!" he yelled back jumping to the ground picking up Hinata
"Im okay Kuramamaru-kun" she answered as she got up
"Sure"
"Yeah"
"hmm it seems like this Young Hyuuga is a large concern to him" he smiled "I will give her and him the curse mark to bend there will and have them come to me with her natural power while Kyu gets to have her son back" his head suddenly extended and bit Hinata's neck she started to spasm out of control as purple chakra covered her body.
"What did you do to her!" screamed Kurama in utter rage. he grabbed Orochimaru's head and slammed it into his knee, before slamming Orochimaru twice in the face causing him to retract his head, blood poured out of his noose and his mouth.
"Nothing much I've just given her a cursed seal"
"What kind?!"
"What do you mean "what kind"?"
"I already have a cursed mark mine is known as the Oni mark"
"Interesting the one I have just given your teammate is the cursed mark of Hell, im sure she will love my little gift hell maybe she will forget about you and become my apprentices" he said grinning a slimy smile
"You take that back you BASTARD" Kuramamaru voice became more demonic as his body transformed he grew orange hair and his became more red his finger nails grew longer and turned black he grew a chakra shroud with three tails "I AM THE SON OF THE KYUUBI NO YOKO, I AM KURAMAMARU UZUMAKI YOU WILL FEAR MY NAME WHEN I SHOUT IT OUT, IF YOU KILL ME YOU'LL CALL IT SELF-DEFENCE IF I KILL YOU I'LL CALL IT VENGANCE" he screamed as he lunged at Orochimaru but he avoided his attack.
"Now, now if you kill me how will you ever find your mother" said Orochimaru as he smiled with a shit eating grin
"WHAT! HOW DARE YOU TALK ABOUT MY MOTHER, SHE'S DEAD KUSHINA UZUMAKI IS DEAD"
"Not really if you want to find out you must come to Oto" he smiled "there you will meet her"
"BULLSHIT ONCE I GET THERE YOU'RE GONNA BACKSTAB ME OR TRY AND TORTURE ME FOR INFORMATION ON KONOHA, I'VE READY BEEN TOLD THAT LIE AND IM NOT GOING TO FALL FOR SUCH A PATHETIC LIE" he screamed red chakra began to condense itself into a ball "KAGE TAMA" screamed Kurama as he shot various black tentacles towards Orochimaru who jumped out the way, however his summon did not feer better as 60 shadow tentacles impaled the massive snake to the ground.
"Such power at such a young age" Orochimaru gasped "he could give any of the Sannin a run for their money" unknown to them Sasuke was alive and could see the battle well except the curse mark being placed on Hinata.
"now's my chance" his mind raced "HEAR I GO!" he yelled as he throwed a giant shuriken at him he dogged it but it cut his face making his mask rip off revelling Orochimaru they both gasped while Hinata layed uncurtains.
"Wow really Orochimaru of the legendary Sannin, huh you're pretty pathetic you know that"
"what how can you just be like 'hey your one of legendary Sannin huh" and shrug your shoulders like you don't care" demanded Sasuke
"Because I don't"
"wha" the next thing he knew he just watched Kuramamaru attack the Sannin after a bit he caused the Uchiha to be knocked out from the chakra they wear releasing, after a bit Orochimaru retreated. While Kurama wanted to follow him Hinata being his most important thing in the world needed more attention.
"Oh Hina-chan what did he do to you" he said leaving his demonic form
"What Happened?"
"Oh Haku there you are wear have you been"
"I was attacked by this woman, crazy bitch bit me then I passed out"
"Yeah so much happened I didn't know you left"
"What Happened?"
"Some guy on a snake attacked me and bit Hina-chan I think he was gonna bite me but i stopped him"
"Hina-chan?" she said raising an eyebrow
"What about it" he hissed
"It's just that such a title is reserved for loved ones" she paused "oh I get it she's you're girlfriend"
"WHAT?" yelled Kuramamaru Blushing.
"Ninja must always hide his emotions" she said grinning
"Haku are…are you joking" his flustered state soon turned to a state of embarrassment
"Why are you looking shocked" she asked grinning
"Whatever just help me with Hinata?"
"I'll try my best but I can't be as good as I should"
"Why because im a shadow clone"
"Then wears the real you?"
"She's been knocked out the woman made her faint when she bit her"
"Dam it wear are you"
"By the bank of the nearby swamp ill look after Hinata and Sasuke" he nodded and quickly reappeared with the young momuchi in hand putting her besides the two other, after two hours Sasuke woke up but he wasn't in a good mood. I mean picture this you're a stuck up uchiha with the biggest ego ever you ware top of your class in everything, than the next thing you know the dead-last, the loser, the dobe, the monster, the freak that everybody hates turns around and defeats one of the three kage level Sannin. how would that make you feel well for this particular uchiha pretty fucking pissed. Next Haku woke up when Kurama checked her back he saw a tattoo with three tamoe in a circle what was worrying Kurama was Hinata she was out cold her body spazemed occasionally so that wasn't a good start next was her pained expression and finally he was worried about Orochimaru I mean one of the legendary Sannin just attacked him, sure he was pretty weak but he thought Orochimaru was more concerned with putting the curse mark on Hinata and was probably holding back. what concerned him more is the fact that he said his mother is alive Grimm memories of that family popped into his mind though Orochimaru wasn't one to trust he wondered why he would say something like that though it might have been a ploy to get to betray the village and go to Oto.
The others (Sasuke and Haku) went to try and ambush a squad for their scroll in the meantime Kurama was taking care of Hinata suddenly a group of sound ninjas and leaf Nins appeared there wear six in total and they drew out there kunai.
"Kabuto what are you doing?"
"Sorry Naruto uh I mean Kurama it's just businesses" said Kabuto as he drew his Kunai
"Let me guess you want my scroll"
"Indeed"
"So why don't you kill the sound nins and take there's"
"Because they have heaven scroll and so do we, I already know you have earth scroll"
"Dam it, I don't want to kill Kabuto nor do I want to kill his team but there forcing me to well kill them"
"Zaku go ahead have some fun" said the masked one
"Sure Dosu" he paused "decimating airwaves!" he yelled hitting Kurama he was stunned he was seeing triples no quads he suddenly smacked in the mouth by the ninja and thrown across the floor. Next Dosu attacked him followed by kin the repeated attacks caused Kurama's head to throb he entered Oni form and sent on of his liquid chakra tentacles to kill one of the leaf nins, knowing they wear not expecting a upfront attacked they dodged and Kabuto throw a couple of senbons but they wear useless as he summoned a shroud of red chakra deflecting them.
"Trust me Kabuto they wear useless my last mission and there useless now" he laughed now only seeing doubles.
"Decimating airwaves" Kurama was then thrown across the area "Decimating airwaves" he yelled again injuring Kurama while he was down.
"You bastard"
"Again" blasted him
"Again" blasted him again
"Again" blasted him once more
"Aaaaahhhh" he screamed as he was hit was the third repetitive attack as he fell unconscious
"wait what's this power" they gasped when they looked behind them, standing there was Hinata purple chakra flowed around her in a ghostly shroud she had spiral like marks around the right side of her body and her hair had black streaks in it.
"don't you dare hurt Kurama-kun or" she paused "I'll kill you" she hissed with venom in her tone
"calm down little girl" started on of the leaf nin but the next thing he knew his arms had been removed, Hinata licked the blood of her arms as he wailed in pain hinata turned around to the second nin before driving a kunai into his throat. the others got the message and ran for the hills. Hinata quickly ran to the unconscious Kurama and started to treat his wounds.
"kuramamaru-kun I can't lose you I just can't" she begged
"Wha who are you" he spoke
"What it's me Hinata?"
"Really what's happened to you, you look different you have black and blue hair it looks so pretty" he said reaching out for her head making her blush
"Kurama this isn't time for you to be commenting about my hair save your energy"
"I love you Hina-chan" he said falling unconscious again making her blush
"No Kurama wake up please" but it was no use quickly Sasuke and Haku appeared and found the transformed Hyuuga she turned around to see them instantly she was angry "you, you abandoned him now look what happened" she yelled "if you didn't leave he wouldn't be wounded I'll kill you!" she yelled activating her Byakugan she summoned her twin lions and jumped to them however now her lions formed in purple chakra and looked more like tigers than lions.
"What the who are you" exclaimed Sasuke dodging the attack
"Shut up Sasuke! Kuramamaru hated you, you wear so stuck up for your precious clan what if you clan hated you then you wish they wear all dead" he froze realising that her conflicting emotions was driving her mad.
"Hinata wait he's not dead" yelled Haku
"What!?" exclaimed Hinata
"Hinata?" asked Sasuke
Hinata leaped to Kurama her black hair disappeared as well as the spirals on her right side and deactivated her byakugan shocking Sasuke who thought she was someone else.
"He's been wounded but he's gonna be okay"
"Oh Kuramamaru-kun as long as you're okay I'll be fine" she said
"Hmm it's obvious you have feeling for him hinata, I don't wanna be intruding in anything but why"
"when I was young some bully's cornered me and wear picking on me but that's when I meet him he saved me from those bully's" she paused as she smiled "you should have seen his clone at the time it was really pathetic still he saved me I always noted that he looked in the face of danger with such with such courage, When I got older in fact it was only a couple of weeks ago I started to talk to him more he said he would never let my clan hurt me again"
"That must have been before the land of waves mission I overheard that when I told about the meeting"
"What do you mean let your clan hurt you?" immediately she tightened her fists
"my clan always looks at me with such hatred they don't see the next hyuuga heiress they see a screw up that can barely take any punches im so weak but" she paused "Kurama has faith in me and says that one day I will be a strong Kunoichi I must become stronger no I need to become stronger in order to protect who I love" she looked at Kurama with her lovely lavender eyes.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Three hours later and Kurama had woken up
"Hey what's going on you guys" mumbled Kurama as he got up though he was instantly floored
"Kuramamaru-kun" yelled Hinata as she lept on top of him hugging him
"Whoa" he yelped as he blushed on the ground it was qrite a sweet scene to watch Haku smiled even Sasuke couldn't help but smirk
"Come on you guys me and Haku Stoll a scroll let's get to the tower" they both nodded
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
1 hour later
"Wear almost there" said Sasuke
"Come on let's keep on moving" said Haku
"Hmph come on squad 7, let's rock" yelled Kurama letting a bit of the old Naruto out, making them all chuckle
They suddenly barged into the tower with grins on the four face when they discovered that only the suna nins had arrived yet Gaara smiled knowing he finally had some one that was worth his effort while tamari and konkoro wear shocked they wear four of them.
After 10 minutes Neji's team appeared which pissed of Hinata and neji
"How could I the hyuuga prodigy be beaten by that pathetic excuse for a arg" exclaimed Neji but the next thing he knew was Kurama holding him by his throat
"Don't you dare threaten Hina-chan like that or I'll KILL YOU!" he yelled
"Please don't kill him I haven't been able to beat him!" exclaimed a green suit wearing bowl cut with bushy brows.
"Who are you" asked Kurama as he dropped neji who was gasping for air
"My name is Rock lee I hope to become a ninja who can only use Taijutsu" he responded "for the power of youth burns bright within my soul" he exclaimed
"Yeeah" Kurama said awkwardly
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
After 15 minutes team 8 appeared as well as the sound team and the lone Kabuto who was put onto the sound team. Meanwhile in the forest Anko was running through the forest she detected Orochimaru's chakra hours ago but still couldn't find him she also detected a more dark and sinister chakra (Kurama's chakra) she continued until she hear an yell.
"What the" she exclaimed as she went towards the yell when she got there she found a woman with pale skin she had red hair and she had slited golden eyes before they turned into crimson eyes similar like the team 8 leader. "who are you" causing her to turn around she was wearing a red uniform that was similar to the sound 4 with black belt and a black and red gourde on her back filled with napalm.
"ah don't you remember me" making anko look puzzled "princess Anko" Anko gasped
"you, you can't be"
"but I am" she paused "I would kill you but the memories get in the way I have to say thank you for not being like the rest of the village and not attacking my son"
"What since when did you have a child" she asked
"13 years ago on that night"
"but how are alive"
"Unfortunately I was captured and then" she paused "I meet Orochimaru" making Anko gasp
"What are you doing hear"
"Just thinning out the numbers for my son" suddenly her body became black and wrapped away without a trace.
"dam it" said the purple haired snake mistress
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
1 day later
an day past but nobody else arrived weather it was killed by the woman or just didn't make it either way the Chunin exams had to go on Sarutobi told them the "true purpose" of the chunin exams, Kurama looked around the room he saw team 8 with kurenai, team 6 also known as shika-ino-choji with asura but also saw the sand siblings and baki while the sound ninja had a mysterious woman with purple hair like Anko's, she had purple eye shadow along with purple lip stick pale skin apparently her name was Aki the last team is what disturbed Kurama the most it was the same man who disguised himself as Orochimaru his other two team member wear probably in on it as well.
Kabuto quiet and soon the fights began, the moved to the seats wear they could watch the fights and the large screen the screen start to scan through the names everyone was tense everyone knew toughest ones wear Gaara, rock lee and Neji still no one knew that the former class clown turned psychopathic bad ass Kurama and the supposed 'weak' hinata would dwarf all of their powers.
NARUTO UZUMAKI VS KIBA INUZAKA pinged the machine
"Naruto why did they change his name" thought the mystery woman
"It's are lucky day Akamaru we get the scraps" he laughed as he walked down the platform suddenly Kurama threw a kunai everyone gasped other than the mystery woman and Hinata when Kunai hit the floor everyone noticed the talisman on the kunai, Sarutobi's eyes widened suddenly Kurama was right in front of Kiba who flinched.
"What's the matter pup" smirked Kurama
"HAI"
Immediately kiba found himself dodging blows from Kurama he jumped away making distance between them.
"Whoa what the hell when did you get so strong"
"LIKE I TOLD YOU INUZAKA I ALWAYS THIS STRONG I HID BEHIND MY MASK, AFTER IRUKA TRIED TO KILL ME NARUTO UZUMAKI DIED!" he yelled in a crazed and husky voice "DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND MY POWER IS GREATER THEN ALMOST ANYONE IN THIS ROOM HELL I CAN RIVAL A FUCKING SANINN" he laughed "NOW YOU WILL DIE"
The seal on his neck grew as it covered his body his hair grew longer it and became this time a dark traditional Uzumaki red his body was covered in a strange tattoo and his claws and canines grew longer his eyes glowed red and the white became black this was stage 2 of his seal Gekido causing him to grin.
"He has a curse mark but Orochimaru not has made one like that!" thought Mysterious woman who was disguised as Aki
"Gekido state fire style kage flame jutsu" yelled Kurama suddenly a ball of black fire like the grand fireball technique was lunched out of Kurama's mouth like a seething dragon filled of darkness and hate, Kiba was scared shitless but he managed to dodge the attack as the fire inflamed a wall.
"What how did he do that!" yelled Sasuke who was enraged as a non-Uchiha had such a powerful fire style, the overzealous uchiha had forgotten that not everyone had to be an Uchiha to use fire style.
"Attah boy Kurama kick his ass" said Hinata as he beamed a smile to him, the mysterious woman as Aki
"Hmm she seems to like him I guess I won't have to kill hem"
"What" yelled Kiba Was the only thing he could say as two large chakra arms grabbed on to him tightening his grip on him from his back, Kurama put his hands under him blue and red bubbles flew out of him and wear fused and merged together Sarutobi gasped as he realised he had summoned the Kyuubi's chakra.
"STOP HIM, STOP HIM FOR THE LOVE OF KAMI STOP HIM" yelled Sarutobi, Kakashi and asura jumped into action while team 8's leader stood there frozen remembering the technique, yet it was too late the blast was fired a Kiba was killed the shockwave knocked Kakashi back as well as Asura.
The smoke began to Clear and there was a massive creator wear Kiba once stood all there was now was blood, flesh and bone.
"Karma's a bitch" said Kurama deactivating his seal.
"You Bastard!" yelled Kakashi and kurenei who attacked him throwing blows at him Kurenei attacked him with an s level Genjutsu but the Jutsu didn't work meanwhile Kakashi tried to punch him.
Kurama thenn Knocked out asuma and Kurenai before doing the same to Kakashi before poofing up to a balcony, Hinata looked at him with a evil smile and kissed him on the check making him blush.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Kurama had been apprehended he wasn't going to be thrown in prison nor would he receives any punishment but he was told he had to leave the stadium doing so they took him to a room gave him a chair a table and some lunch and left looking the door.
Kurama just put his head down on the table after finishing the bowl of Raman and put in a corner so he could lay his head on the table when suddenly a woman began to seep throw the locked door, Kurama instinctively leapt out the way and prepared a kunai she was seeping out slowly but the moment she was out of the door and stopped seeping she suddenly appeared in front of Kurama deflected the kunai in his hand took his pouch and threw it away before…hugging him?
"Wha, wha what are you doing"
"I'll explain everything but I need a moment"
"Get of me you're not my mother" he said shoving her of, instead she smiled and deactivated her henge showing him her bright red hair.
"Yes I am"
"What!?"
"Im your mother"
"Bullshit the last time anybody said that was when that family tried to kill me get away from me you're not my mother!" he yelled "what's your name anyway"
"Kyu Uzumaki"
"Well my mother was named Kushina didn't skin that pale just go away" he yelled
"Hey what's going on" said Anko "wait it's you"
"Hmm do you know this woman Anko?" asked Asura who was accompanying her
"Yes I do" but before she could finish Kyu attacked them with her snakes making them get knocked out suddenly the woman disappeared.
"What the hell was that" said Anko out load as she got up
"that bitch said she was my mother" as he put out a hand to pull her up which shocked her a bit after watching the same child that murdered a 13 year old boy in cold blood he seemed to be quite polite even if he did just curse in his last statement.
"Thanks" she paused "what your name again" she asked
"Kuramamaru Uzumaki" making her eyes widen she connected the dots just then she realised the encounter with her previous sensei was the mother of the host of the nine tails It all made since yet still she couldn't help but notice how she revealed to her children as sons.
"Do you have a Brother or anything?"
"A brother no why do you ask"
"Oh no reason"

"Lord Hokage-sama I have urgent news" said Anko
"my former second Sensei has returned I believe she is after Kuramamaru"
"Who?"
"The Uzumaki"
"Why did you call him that?"
"He said that was his name"
"Interesting still I am forced to keep the chunin exams open maybe we can lure her out during the Finals"
"Yes lord Hokage but I also request something"
"And what is that"
"After Kakashi got out of hand and tried to kill Kurama I Believe that I should start training him"
"Oh really" he responded "why is that"
"well I just feel this urge to help him he has a lot of talent already but I could teach him Taijutsu and Genjutsu as well as Summons of which he lacks"
"Very well you will start his training during the break between the prelims and finals" she nodded as she poofed away

Hinata saw Kurama as he approached the stand and hugged him while he hugged back, Sasuke looked at the pair and raised an eyebrow while Haku just smiled.
"so what happened?"
"ino and sakura had drawn, shika, temari, konkoro and dosu won the only ones left are me, hinata, Gaara, rock lee, neji and some guy I don't care about named yori anyway the screens about to get started"
HINATA HYUUGA VS NEJI HYUUGA pinged the large screen. Instantly the two Hyuuga smirked evilly as they both jumped down and landed on their feet.
"Hmph pathetic heiress" said the smug Neji making Kurama growl
"Shut up you fucking rat" shocking him while Kyu smiled
"Wow she's seem pretty tough" thought Kyu
"HAI"
Immediately they ran to each other Hinata dodged several blows from Neji while she activated her Byakugan, she jumped out the way of his eighth blow to activate her twin lions which shocked Neji as he had not seen them before. She ran towards him landing two relatively powerful strikes on his body, he swiped her feet under making her land to the ground but she jumped out the way.
"that jutsu that supposed to be for chunin" he chuckled "I guess are timid hyuuga heir has a ace up her sleeve well I let you have a look at mine" he said resting into his gentle fist stance before his activating Byakugan he ran towards her "64 palms!" he yelled before striking her multiple time darting her around like a pinball.
after the jutsu was complete she stood there wounded but hurt almost all of her chakra points wear blocked.
"I won't give up *huff huff* not until *huff huff* I prove to him *huff huff* im truly strong *huff huff*" said the panting Hinata
"Why, why would you go so far for him?, he's a monster! Don't you know that!" he yelled
"Silence" she yelled "don't you dare call Kuramamaru-kun a monster he's anything but and if he's a monster than im monster too" she said "and now you threaten him I want to prove that im strong enough to protect him and the others I love like my little sister and Kuramamaru-kun" she said throwing some punches.
"the problem is Hinata no matter how much you try you be doomed to failure" he said blasting her in the gut she flew across the prelims arena floor before flipping over and being knocked out cold.
"Im sorry *cough* my Kurama *cough* maru *cough* Kun but I can't go on".
"Hinata!" yelled Kuramamaru as he jumped to her even though she was across the room and he was from 50ft balcony making everyone, he ran to her and sat on his knees.
"Don't worry" she will be okay said a medic nin
"You" he turned to Neji "just you wait neji hyuuga IM GONNA KILL YOU!" he exclaimed with pure venom in his tone.
"Okay you two settle down" said hyate
"Fine" they said simultaneously

GAARA UZUMAKI VS ROCK LEE pinged the machine, Kurama, sasuke's and rock lee eyes shot open.
"wait you two are from the same family, but you a sand nin and you're a leaf" asked Sasuke
"well actually wear from an all but destroyed clan" making Sasuke eye widen "see are clans fuinjutsu accidently destroyed the land of the whirlpool and destroyed uzushiogakure they wear spread out and my mother fled to konoha while Gaara's mother must have gone to Suna still im surprised to meet another member of my clan"
Sasuke was speechless not only was the Uzumaki a clan but they wear all but wiped out like his own.
"so then are konkoro and Temari member's two"
"no just me"
"Interesting" instantly Kurama thought of Hinata's giggle and became concerned
Gaara leapt to the ground and faced toward lee, the growing killer intent on Gaara's face scared temari.
"this isn't good"
"why"
"when he's like this he's a monster"
Meanwhile rock lee had been forced to take of his weights
"There just weights what's the difference" said temari
"No their chakra weights the more chakra you put into them the heavier they are"
"So how much do they weigh"
SMASH
"About that much" laughed Kurama
suddenly Rock lee rushed around the tournament but it was no use even if lee gave Gaara a cut lee managed he had to use 8 gates but Poor lee discovered it was hollow meaning the now exhausted lee would collapse anytime soon quickly Gaara latched onto him using his sand and preformed sand coffin which caused the Taijutsu ninja to be incredibly wounded.
"I must kill him" said Gaara but Rock lee's sensei might gai stopped his attack his head started to throb while Kurama's head throbbed to just a bit as well, Gaara began to yell about his mother before he calmed down and walked away.
Afterwards Sasuke won his fight with the yori and they began to leave but as they left the hokage appeared before Kurama and asked to have a word with him.
"Naruto I know that you're very strong but there someone who would really like to work with you on your jutsu with you her names Anko mitarashi she wants to become your teacher and sensei while during the break" Kurama eyes widened he was going to correct the hokage on the fact that his name was kuramamaru but he didn't know whether or not he was in on it and second he was too excited about learning from the snake mistress of konoha Anko mitarashi herself.
"Are really that's really cool" he said
"You will meet her in the morning at the training ground wear kakashi usually trains you" causing Kurama to chuckle "what is it"
"Nothing really just the idea of Kakashi teaching me anything pretty silly anyway what happened to him"
"Kakashi has been taken to have a psych evaluation and 30 day discharge from duty along with asuma and Kurenai"
"Okay, bye"
"Bye" as he watched Kurama run off into the distance after Hinata
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The next day Kurama arrived and sat down quickly Anko appeared
"You got her fast"
"Im half an hour late"
"Well im used with Kakashi being late for 2 so your pretty early for me" making her chuckle
"Okay so then you're Kurama correct" he nodded "well my name is Anko mitarashi Im gonna be your new master/sensei from now on okay" he nodded "today im gonna try and teach you how to summon and if you get that down I'll be able to show you how to preform hidden shadow snake hands" making him beam a smile back on her if anything made him happy in this world it was trustful people, Hinata and learning new Jutsu his chakra control had improved radically since the land of waves hell it was incredible before he knew initially how to manifest and control chakra so this was going to be easy.
"So how do I do it"
"well first you need to sign this scroll" in a puff of smoke a large scroll with summoning Witten on it was shown, Kurama unrolled the scroll to see several names: Orochimaru, Anko, Kabuto and Kushina Uzumaki which shocked Kurama.
"How the hell is my mother's signature hear"
"Huh wait is this Kushina person your mother"
"Yeah"
"that can't be you wear orphaned by birth but this signature appeared last year"
"WHAT!"
"well maybe it's coincidence"
"yeah" he said "though when I think about that woman said she was my mother and Orochimaru did mention her still I don't believe my mother is alive I mean I know Uzumaki life span and resistance is massive and all but I don't think having a biju's chakra taken out and then back in wouldn't kill a host" he thought
"Just write your signature in blood" which made Kurama raise an eyebrow but quickly bit his thumb wrote his name and the scroll then rolled itself up before dispersing.
"okay now all you have to do to summon is take a bit of blood just bite you thumb and slam your hand on the ground and put chakra into it remember the more chakra you put into it the larger the summon will be"
"okay" he said before biting his thumb
"You don't have to bite you thumb again it should already be bleeding"
"Actually it was all healed dang it now ive got to bite it again"
"What let me see" he showed her and to her amazement was completely healed
"anyway let's do this" he said before biting his thumb slamming the ground before summoning MANDA!
"who summons me, oh hello Anko your sensei's been pain in the ass bit what do wish me to do"
"I didn't summon you he did" she said pointing to the blonde
"hmm, and who might you be"
"my Name's Naruto Uzumaki" causing the Snakes eyes to fly open
"you must be Kushina's child"
"huh what do you know about her"
"that she is your mother and is working with Orochimaru apparently from what I can tell she was forced to leave your village"
"your not lying to me are you"
"of course not im summon wear bound to be truthful to are summoners on panalty of execution"
"Well then I don't know how to feel on one hand I want to drop everything and find my mom on another I want to train and third she's working with that bastard Orochimaru"
"Wait have you meet him?" asked Anko
"Yeah he bit Hina-chan"
"Huh wear is she we need to find!" she panicked
"What's the matter?"
"She has a curse mark"
"How do you know?"
"I have one"
"Oh Can you tell me how to control mine"
"Wait you have one two"
"Yeah but mines from the Kyuubi, it's cursed seal of destruction it doesn't have any side effect unless it's active when active I become a killjoy so I use sparingly my only problem is that im prone to random spasms of killing intent"
"Yeah mine does that to ill teach you how to control it but let's find you girlfriend" she joked at the last part
"Hey" he groaned
"Now now do you want me to teach you" he nodded fastly as they left
"Hey guys im still hear" he said "ah fuck it they don't about me im going home" he mumbled angrily before dispersing

Hinata was resting in her favourite spot in the village…the forest of death hanging out by the chunin exams tower when Kurama arrived.
"Kurama" she said happily "hey who's that?"
"oh this is Anko-sensei she's been training me but she wants to see if you have a curse ma" he was cut off when Anko quickly removed Hinata's jacket to inspect her neck, he couldn't help but grin he noticed Hinata's lacy bra but quickly looked the other way when he noticed Anko's scowl even though Hinata was blushing she was doing her best not to faint.
"SHIT!" exclaimed Anko as she saw what she was dreading their planted on her neck was a mark it was black and had six tamoe around it a kanji for love which was bizarre.
"What's the matter"
"she has a curse mark, this one seems to have a total of four stages from the chakra complex, seal and lock there are several forms of complex's and this one has surpassed even my own"
"what's a complex"
"Well most people have their own chakra network well when a curse seal is made an extra chakra network is made and generates own purple chakra or red chakra in your case they are then connected to your real network, in the first state they are completely unconnected with the chakra network. However if you perform a form of the play possum jutsu and temporally kill yourself then contain yourself in a special sealing jutsu the seal will connect itself to your real network allowing the chakra to flow through your body supposedly farther stages allow farther integration and upgrades to your form however the purple chakra degrades the user's soul to that of absolute evil"
"I see if it wasn't for the side effects I would be inclined to use my seal more often, but I don't want my Hina-chan to go through being well dead" making her blush as he gave her a hug.
"anyway I think we should get back to are training don't you think Kurama" said Anko which he responded with a nod they left but Kurama promised he would see her after he training and tell her about his cool new jutsu and what to expect at the finals.

it had been 2 hours since Kurama and Hinata last saw each other and now that Kurama had learned his uber cool Jutsu he was heading off to the ramen bar and he quickly arrived sitting down he said hello to Hinata and ordered a bowl of red miso ramen.
"So then what did you learn?" asked Hinata
"I've learnt to summon snakes and use hidden shadow snake hands"
"So now you have a lot of snake jutsu"
"I wouldn't call it a lot but yeah I have learnt quite a few Jutsu"
"Cool"
"Have you learnt anything?"
"Yep I have learnt 64 palms and I have created a jutsu based of it called protection of the sixty four palms"
"Bit long don't you think?"
"What should I shorten it to?"
"How about just something shorter"
"I guess I can call it 64 palm Tama"
"Sickage"
"Look, Kurama in the finals if you fight neji im gonna tell you a secret on how to defeat him there's a blind spot directly behind the eyes of the Byakugan" she whispered into his ear.
"Thanks that will come in handy if I fight him"
"your welcome Kurama-kun" she said as she laid her head on his shoulder he didn't mind he just eat his 18th bowl of Raman before nuzzling her head
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX
"it seems that we have tricked the Inuzaka clan into letting are sound nin in believing we are going to kill Kuramamaru but in reality we will burn the Village hidden in the leafs to the ground" said Orochimaru as a slick sharp toothed grin spread across his face.
"I hope everything will go to plan but I feel my children will reject me"
"Don't worry I believe if we but give them enough dishonour to their villages there come and be reunited with their mother, Kushina the Kyu sword master of Otogakure"
"Yes lord Orochimaru"
Author's note: so yeah I bet your wondering who Kyu is and her background well you'll just have to wait and see : ) anyway im gonna write the next chapter which well be the finals qnd the begging of the invasion then chapter 5 will be the end of the invasion and the beginning of the Tsunade arc.
