Chapter 4:the chunin exams continue
All 26 teams stood in front of a forest that seemed to radiate malicious intent, the fence separating them from it was covered in warnings saying things like 'danger', 'warning, you will die' and 'forbidden' and even from their they could see that the place held insects the were bigger than they were. And if that were the case with the insects then what would the actual wildlife be like. Anko walked up to in front of the group, "this is training area 44, otherwise known as the 'the forest of death'" one of the Genin stuttered out"t-the forest of... Death?"
As Anko explained the rules of the test nine people were twitching in anticipation. This was actually quite obvious actually, what with the tails and ears, they stuck out like sore thumbs. As the waivers were being passed around those nine only had a brief glance at ti for any fine print before signing and handing the forms in for their scroll, and earth scroll to be precise. Meanwhile through the whole thing Anko kept scaring almost all of the Genin. As the test began they all raced in, this was gonna be fun.

As Narutos team jumped from tree to tree ready for a battle they began to talk "any strategy?" called Sasuke. "I think so" Sakura replied and explained her plan "we need to attract the attention of the other teams, but not intimidate them" she said, letting of a small burst of chakra, "and that should do, the other teams should be here soon" suddenly a huge wind ripped through the area. even if the three tried to use chakra to stick to the ground the ground itself was picking blown away from under their feet, Sakura and Sasuke managed to grab a hold of each other and stay together but Naruto was blown away before they could get him.

At the end of a long smoking trench lay our protagonist, Naruto. As he got up and stretched his back, feeling his joints pop as memories of what happened came to him, "Well i guess i better find Sasuke and Sakura, No telling what could happen to the-" suddenly he curled over onto all fours and when he rose his head again his eyes were a terrible blood red. He bared his fangs, and charged away.
Meanwhile inside the mindscape both Minato and Kushina were freaking out "whats happening to my little boy, how do we stop it"mean while Chibi was laying on the ground in a thoughtful position, WELL, he said slowly IT WOULD APPEAR HE HAS GONE TO FAR AWAY FROM THE OTHER MEMBERS OF HIS TEAM, HE HAS GONE INTO A FERAL MODE. Seeing the worry written on the faces of the other two he immediately continued DON'T WORRY, HE'LL SIMPLY TRY TO FIND THE NEAREST MEMBER OF THE FOX NINE AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES HE'LL BE FINE AND BACK TO NOWMAL AGAIN. The two parents looked relieved
PagebreakPagebreakPagebreak
Six figures in the forest all turned their heads to one area in the forest, in groups of three, they were almost enjoying getting their scroll from the teams they were fighting. They felt as if they were a wall that had suddenly had some bricks removed. In their groups they all turned to each other and without a word nodded, together they all headed for the spot. They first to arrive on the scene were Kiba, Hinata and Shino, what they saw truly amazed them, Naruto was in the middle of a clearing, standing on all fours with his tails lashing around, destroying everything they touched. But what shocked them were his eyes, the were blood red and had the look of a wild animal, darting backwards and forwards, looking for any potential attacker.
"w-what hap-ppened to h-him?"Hinata said, her fear showing quite obviously in her voice HE GOT TO FAR AWAY FROM ALL OF YOU, AND AS SUCH HAS REVERTED TO HIS INSTICTUAL STATE TO PREVENT MENTAL DAMAGE Chibi said . "so, thats what you ment when you said that we had to stay close together" Shino said cooly "if i remember correctly you also said that he will turn back to normal after a certain amount of time near us." as he finished saying this Shikamaru, Ino and Choji came into the clearing, just as a faint feeling came over all of them, even the out of control Naruto, who immediately sped away. "Quick follow him, aargh this is such a drag"called out Shikamaru as they all sped away.

Orochimaru stood up, he had given the curse mark to Sakura, and now that the second to last preference was handled it was time for the favourite. He had found out about the almost endless lifespan of all the members of the fox nine, it was impressive, and one could never be too careful, so he planned on getting all nine of them. Because the sharingan would allow him to copy jutsu Sasuke was definitely his first choice, but their was no telling what could happen, so it would be best if he had more of them, he planned on using these chunin exams to get a curse mark on all nine of them, immortality would be his "so, Sasuke" he said as Sakura fell to the ground behind him in pain "now that Sakura is out of the way how about you and me fight" he quickly went over how he was currently feeling, that fight had lasted for five minutes, yet it had taken the chakra of several jounin more than it should have, so his news about her having a field that drained chakra, amazing. "what have you done to her? And who are you?" Sasuke shouted, brimming with anger, thanks to Kurama transforming him he had lost the possessing desire to kill Itachi, he saw that friends were more important. He knew that this man had to pay. He felt his power surface, as Orochimaru saw it his sharingan went from three comma marks to six in each eye. Orochimaru was startled, "hmm, if the number of marks are anything to go by this will be a challenge. He took up a defensive stance "come now, Sasuke, show me what the Uchiha can do" Sasukes thoughts were going along a completely different line, if i can hold him of until Naruto gets here than between us we might stand a chance, with that thought in mind Sasuke charged
PagebreakPagebreakPagebreak
Orochimaru was amazed, he had taken up a defensive stance in logic, if he could outlast Sasuke than he could apply the curse mark in his moment of weakness. But so far Sasuke was showing almost no signs of fatigue, he was tempted to go on the offensive but hen he consoled himself that if the boys sharingan was on the level he suspected than he could have trouble in the offensive stance, but still, he thought, at this rate I'll have trouble standing so much as a chance at outlasting him so he went on the offensive.
Immediately Sasuke noticed a difference in what the man was doing, he suddenly jumped up his speed an insane amount, the power of his sharingan was more than enough to track it but he still couldn't get the timing right, that would take practice. He was having trouble with the fight and was losing before a a loud cry was heard from the other side of the clearing. Both Sasuke and Orochimaru looked in that direction to see Naruto his eyes just suddenly changing from blood-red to his normal cerulean blue. But with him was Ino, Shikamaru, Shino, Choji, Kiba and Hinata, all of their tales were waving around agitatedly and a look of rage on all their faces. Sasuke smiled while Orochimaru seemed to look almost worried. "Well, Orochimaru, i would certainly like to see how you're going to slither out of this one"
Meanwhile most of the Fox nine were relieved that Naruto was back from his instinctual mode. "good to have you back Naruto" Kiba beamed, Naruto returned with his trade-mark Fox grin "good to be back, acting like a wild animal isn't any fun, I'll tell you that" at this point he noticed Sakura, her body twisting in pain, almost straight away his demeanor darkened "who did that to Sakura?" Sasuke jerked his thumb, "this guy, he calls himself Orochimaru" Naruto turned towards the pale skinned man "you, you're going to pay for this" he charged, murderous intent in his eyes.
Thinking fast Orochimaru bit his thumb, went through five hand signs and slammed his hand to the ground. A large seal array spread from the palm of his hand and a poof of smoke raised up. Eight Giant snakes came rushing out, each one charging for a different conscious member of the fox nine. As the hanyous faced against the snakes Orochimaru used the breif amount of time that he had to think of a plan.
Seeing and opening in Inos field of vision he launched a kunai, Ino had to very suddenly move away from the snake to avoid it, suddenly a burning pain spread from her shoulder, she turned her head to see Orochimaru biting her neck. Before the pain became too much and she passed out.
Orochimaru smirked as Ino fell to the ground, "two down" POOF he turned his head, and his eyes widened, both Sasuke and Naruto had both not only defeated the snakes he had sent after them, they had proceeded to punch them so many times on their way to falling that they looked more like giant flesh bags in the breif glimpse he got of them as they disappeared. Each of them looked at Ino, then at each other, then at him, both their eyes were cold, and full of such venom that even he would flinch at the sight, they both spoke in a cold, venomous tone saying everything in perfect sync. "Orochimaru, how dare you" at the last word both charged forward, mirroring each others movements and launched a barrage of Punches upon him, thinking quickly Orochimaru substituted with Shikamaru, hoping to leave them open, and it worked. They were both moving to fast to stop and hit Shikamaru instead. At that point both Choji and Hinata were distracted from their fights, too distracted to notice both Orochimaru and a mud clone of him extend their necks. Inflicting the curse mark on them. Orochimaru Smirked, "four down" suddenly he felt five energies, the chakras of the remaining fox nine, skyrocket. As he turned to see them all staring at him his breath caught in his throat. All of them had evidently just been pushed over the edge, their eyes were all blood red and slitted, even Sasukes, but the six commas of the sharingan were still there and red chakra was pouring off of them. He discreetly made a hand sign behind his back, glad that the Hyuuga had been taken out of the picture. Suddenly five mud clones sprang to life behind each of them, each biting one of their necks. As they all collapsed in pain they heard one last thing from Orochimaru "come when you're ready to gain more power."
-mindscape-
As Naruto, Sasuke, Kiba, Shino and Shikamaru woke up in the ever present ankle deep water of the Mindscape they were greeted by an unusual sight. Hinata, Ino, Sakura and Choji were sitting patiently around Chibi. But that wasn't what was new, what was odd was that both Minato and Kushina were Missing, Naruto was the first to comment on this, "hey, wheres Mum and Dad" all the others were wondering the same thing. WELL, NOW THAT YOUR ALL HERE I CAN TELL YOU AND NOT HAVE TO REPEAT MYSELF Chibi said THEY'RE OF LOOKING AT THE SEAL THAT OROCHIMARU PLACED ON EACH OF YOU, TRYING TO FIND AND DRAWBACKS TO IT THAT MUST BE REMOVED. At this point both of them suddenly burst into the room "what coincidental timing" muttered Sakura, she may have improved her temper after the transformation but she was still highly irritable. "well" began Minato, "i have good news and i have bad news, the good news is that using this curse mark would grant you huge amounts of power and bring your power level up to ANBU" everybody looked hopeful at this, "the bad news is that it has so many draw backs that even me and Kushina would have extreme difficulty in removing them, Orochimaru didn't earn his title as a sanin for nothing, and he sure does know how this stuff works, and even if we tried to remove all the bad sides while keeping the good parts it could potentially kill even you" all of them were down cast, "so we almost completely removed it, we've kept one trait to it, ment to be a drawback, but actually helpful to you. You see the curse mark would originally prevent your chakra capacities from going to a certain point, this point would only increase if you used it, but that put incredible strain on the body and deteriorated your mental health, Orochimaru would then use the small mental connection you had with him to start changing your personality to obey him, but we're just going to keep the ability to prevent your Chakra reserves from growing" at this point everyone looked confused "but isn't that a hindrance?" Choji asked. Kushina shook her head and began her part of the explanation, "no, you see your chakra reserves can't grow any bigger any way, but they are like rubber, plus your healing comes with a small level of natural adaption. What the Curse mark is going to do is compress your chakra reserves for about one week. This will increase the density of your chakra, something that is happening to you naturally anyway. Your body will always continue to make chakra of that new density. Then we release the constriction and after a few days your chakra reserves fill back up to normal size. Unfortunately if we compressed your chakra too much it would throw your control to the point that what you had after the transformation would look good and it would hurt like heck, so in the end it will only double the increase of density, but hey, every boost counts"
As the fox nine sorted through that Chibi decided to make some light conversation YOUKNOW, I'VE DONE A LOT OF THINKING ABOUT THAT RED-HEADED KID, GAARA, AND I THINK I KNOW WHY HIS CHAKRA SEEMED SO OUT OF PLACE IN IS THE CONTAINER OF THE ONE TAILS, A TANUKI, OR RACOON-DOG, THE SHUKAKU. BUT THIS BRINGS ME TO A FEW OTHER THINGS THAT I NEED TO MENTION, IF ANY OF YOU FACE HIM. YOU SEE MY LITTLE BROTHER SHUKAKU WAS ALWAYS A BIT SENSITIVE, AND ALL THE DEATH THAT HE SAW OVER HIS YEARS IRONICALLY TURNED HIM INTO AN INSANE COLD-HEARTED KILLED. BECAUSE OF THIS IF YOU FIGHT HIM ITS LIKELY HE WON'T TAKE YOU BACKING DOWN AS ANSWER SO I SHOULD PROBABLY TELL YOU ABOUT HIS ABILITIES, HE HAS CONTROL OVER SAND. Everybody sweat dropped, "excuse me if I'm wrong here but that doesn't seem very dangerous" Ino stated. HEY DON'T UNDERESTIMATE IT, HE CAN USED THE SAND AND INSTANTLY COMPRESS IT AROUND YOU TO CRUSH A BODY PART, OR JUST THE ENTIRE BODY, TRUST ME, IT'S GRUESOME. Suddenly Shikamaru Jumped up "hang on. Our bodies are lying around in that forest, this could get us ki-" DON'T WORRY, ME, MINATO AND KUSHINA ARE ALL CONTROLING ONE OF YOUR BODIES EACH RIGHT NOW WHILE WERE TALKING, THIS IS WHY IT TOOK THEM SO LONG TO ANALYSE THE SEALS THAT YOU ALL HAVE, BEACUSE THEY HAD TO MAKE YOUR BODIES MOVE AND CARRY THE OTHERS TO A SAFE SPOT, NOW AS I WAS SAYING, INO, IN TERMS OF BEING ABLE TO FIGHT YOU WOULD PROBABLY BE ON PAR WITH HIM BUT HE HAS YOU TOPPED ON EXPERIENCE, BECAUSE OF THIS I HAVE TO SAY THAT YOU FIGHTING HIM IS NOT A GOOD ADEA, CURRENTLY IF YOU WANT TO FIGHT HIM YOU WOULD NEED ABOUT TWO TAILS MORE CHAKRA THAN HIM- "wait" Sasuke interrupted "didn't you say that your chakra density as a tailed beast in creases over tome, your all several hundred years older than us, shouldn't your chakra be two or three times denser? And under that circumstance how is it possible for Ino to match him in raw power"
GOOD QUESTION SASUKE, WELL HERES YOUR ANSWER. US TAILED BEASTS WE ARE CONSTRUCTS OF PURE CHAKRA, THIS MEANS THAT APROXIMATELY TWO THIRDS OF OUR POWER IN A FIGHT WOULD BE USED TO HOLD OUR BODIES TOGETHER, THUS IN TERMS OF RAW POWER ANY ONE OF US WOULD BE ABOUT EQUAL TO ONE OF YOU. HOWEVER THEIR IS ONE THING THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE HERE AND THATS EXPERIENCE, WE MAKE UP FOR YOUR HAVING PHYSICAL BODIES THAT TAKE LESS FOCUS TO MAINTAIN BY HAVING MORE EXPERIENCE, THAT IS WHY YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE AT LEAST TWO TAILS MORE POWERFUL THAN ONE OF US IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO FIGHT ONE OF US AND COME OUT ON TOP. As the hanyous around him digested this informationMinato and Kushina spoke up "Their, we're done with the modifications to the seal, and with that out of the way you should probably come back to reality, after all, theirs some group of weirdos trying to get past the few traps we set in defense" and with that all nine were rejected from the mindscape.
-real world-
Zaku smirked, "hey Dosu, can i just blast the traps" and man that was almost completely covered in bandages, only revealing his right eye nodded, "yes, please do, that last trap almost got us" Zaku smirked and nodded. He took another step forward and a twang rang out from his foot, the eyes of all three widened, a trip wire thought Kin as a hail a kunai came flying at all three of them. Reacting on reflex Zaku thrust his arms forward, "splicing sound wave!" he yelled as a burst of air came rushing forward, throwing all of the kunai out of trajectory. Zaku smirked, and pointed his arms in the direction that they were moving, "splicing sound wave" another rush of air came from his arms setting of and nullifying every trap along the way. "well, i think that its safe to go forward now" both he, Kin, and Dosu, but the bandages made it impossible to see that, smirked and walked calmly forward.
After a few more minutes of their calm, but cautious walking, they came across the clearing that their targets were in, all nine were just starting to stir. Dosu spoke out in a long drawn out breath "hmm Naruto, Sasuke, Hinata, Kiba, Choji, Shino, Sakura and Ino. Our true targets, it really is annoying that the whole reason we entered these tournaments are to kill these nine little brats, but i guess that we just have to do as lord Orochimaru says"
PagebreakPagebreakPagebreak
All nine woke from their talk in the mindscape, Sasukes hand immediately shot to the crook of his neck. He felt for the shape of the mark now that it was changed, he had a glimpse of it on all the others as the fell unconscious. On all of them it was the same, three comma-like marks, like the marks of the sharingan. As he felt around he got an idea of the marks shape, it felt metallic, and it amazed him, it was the Japanese writing for eight. Looking around he saw that all of the others were also starting to feel out their mark, and they all simply had the Japanese for the number of tails they had, do you like it, it's a unique effect that we added, it's actually just another seal we placed over the first, it will allow you to sense each others presence, it will help if your suspicious about each other, plus in case of emergencies it can make a mental connection between you, but remember its in case of emergencies, it can cause mental trauma to overuse it.
"so then, where are the 'weirdos' that are trying to get past the traps?" Naruto asked, as if in response three figures jumped down from the trees. Separated from them by only an interwoven set of tree roots. "That would be us" said Dosu in his deep gravelly voice, the other boy on the team spoke up "yeah the sound trio, and don't you forget it, after all, we'll be the last people you'll see before you die" he said as a confident and arrogant smirk made its way to his face. "so, lets get started" said the woman standing next to him as she drew a number of senbon from her weapons pouch. Naruto let out a full blown grin, channeling a small portion of his chakra to his hand he touched the tree roots in between him and the three sound ninja. The result was immediate, while Narutos hand was forced back all of the tree roots blew outwards. Dosu chuckled "in a bit of a rush now are we? Don't you realize that in order to get to you we would have had to get through those roots, and they are quite sturdy, so why did you waste your own energy trying to get through them, that must have been taxing" the only response he got was a chuckle from Naruto, followed by the rest of the nine hanyous, except for Shino, as usual, soon they were practically rolling on the ground laughing,
"hey what's so funny you little brats!" Zaku yelled, very obviously annoyed that they weren't taking him seriously. Sasuke was the first to get up followed by the others and Naruto last. As Naruto was wiping tears of mirth from his eyes Ino decided to explain "well you see, even i have more than enough chakra to do that, and i could do it several times before I become exhausted, but Naruto, well, he has over two-hundred and fifty times as much Chakra as i do, and you think that it was anywhere near taxing for him to use that, he could use that so many times he could just level this forest" at this statement all three of the Sound ninjas eyes widened, when suddenly they all felt something on their backs.
Turning around they saw Naruto standing their, with a tail extended and touching each of their backs. "you know, i can channel chakra to my tails very easily, now, surrender your scroll, and i won't give you a repeat of what happened to that tree" he said. At this point one thought was running through all three of their heads how did he get behind us?. However of the three only Dosu was able to recover fast enough to ask, "h-how?" he stuttered, fear evident in his voice. Narutos Face split into a full blown fox-grin "ha, just because i wear an orange suit doesn't mean that I can't be stealthy" he boasted. Most of the fox nine sweat dropped.
Dosu nodded "fine, you get our scroll, and you let us leave, but next time we'll be prepared" with that he removed his scroll from his kunai pouch and handed it to them. "remember kid, next time" he said as he, Zaku and Kin jumped away. Naruto turned around and held out the scroll, "so do any of you need a heaven scroll" Shikamaru stepped forward "thanks for the offer but we were already beating up some weak team before you went into your instinctual mode Naruto, and as such we already have our set of scrolls, try asking Kiba" immediately Kiba stood up, "yeah, same goes with us, besides you need it anyway se you at the tower." Naruto looked hurt, "hey, are you saying that because we weren't lucky enough to come across some weak team that we're less powerful, its not our fault that we happened to come across an S-rank rogue ninja, I mean he managed to beat all of us at once so how were we supposed to beat him by ourselves" he said, anger evident in his voice, Kiba waved him off in reply "yeah I guess you got a point, well I guess we all have to go to the tower now, see you their" and on that note all nine walked towards the tower on their own separate routes.

Obiro, Mubi and Kagari sat waiting for a victim of their Genjutsu "heres comes a team" the Obiro "lets see, duck butt, pinky and an orange wearing idiot, and their all weirdos that wear fox clothes if the fake tails are anything to go by. This couldn't be easier, now lets go, as soon as we cast this Genjutsu they'll begin to walk in circles, as they tire out we'll come in with our clone Genjutsu to wear them down more before claiming victory, Got it" he began a set of hand signs "now, go" he cast the Genjutsu, yet the Genin just kept on walking through it, "hmm, i must have made a mistake in the hand signs" he repeated the hand signs "now,go" still they kept walking in a straight line. "oh man, Mubi, you just try the oil clone Genjutsu, we might still be able to get them" Mubi nodded and began a short series of seals, "oil clone Genjutsu, go" nothing happened, "ehe, uh, Kagari, try the mist clone Genjutsu if that doesn't work then we'll just have to leave these guys alone."
"oh I recommend you do that any way" said Naruto, having been watching their dialogue the whole time. All of their eyes widened "now" Naruto said, malice evident in his voice "how about we work this way, i won't take your scroll and you leave us alone, then you might be able to get to the finals" they all considered the option, "well i guess I'll choose to...oh, I know, since your all by your self I'll just beat you up and take your scroll" said Obiro, Charging towards him. Naruto shook his head, "wrong choice, see ya" suddenly he puffed into smoke.
Kagari looked around, "how could he have enough Chakra to use the shadow clone jutsu" he wondered. "hey over here, and guess who's scroll I found" called Naruto from a different tree before hopping down to his teammates and running away, all the while waving a white scroll in one of his tails.
PagebreakPagebreakPagebreak
Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura stood before the tower, "well guys" said Naruto, excitement evident in his voice "we still have two days left, so when we get in I'm gonna teach you what is probably the most useful jutsu ever!" Sasuke and Sakura sweat dropped, "so, loser, you finally gonna teach us how to use shadow clones huh" Sasuke deadpanned, Naruto froze and slowly looked around "well of course, the shadow clone jutsu is perfect for a fight where one is outnumbered, or if you need small jobs like grocery shopping done even, heck thats what i use it for often enough" again Sasuke and Sakura sweat dropped "Naruto, that Jutsu has a high enough chakra consumption rate that it was labeled forbidden, deadly to use in high amounts, and you used it to do your grocery shopping" Naruto blinked "well yeah, I had so much Chakra that I figured I'd avoid doing petty jobs and simply train instead, but any way we gotta get in there so i can teach you the Jutsu, come on" and with that they walked in.

"bored bored bored bored bored bored bored bored bored bored bored bored" Naruto chanted. "yes we get that your bored Naruto but we already learned the Shadow clone, although I must say one thing, how is it that you can use just the one unique hand sign to do the work of the normal three that are necessary for shadow clones?" Sakura asked. Naruto just looked at her owlishly "what do you mean?" Sasuke just huffed Naruto, you need to use three normal hand signs in order to use the shadow clone jutsu, you however, use just one hand sign, and it seems to do the work of all three. Although, I do agree about being bored, so how about we go to the mindscape, find something to do" Narutos face broke out in a grin "yeah, sure, can't wait to see Mum and Dad again, lets go."
-mindscape-
Naruto opened his eyes, and nearly fell over from shock "what are all of you doing here?" he accused, pointing his finger at the other six of the fox nine. Shikamaru just yawned "Aargh what a drag, well, you see Naruto, we all come from clans, meaning that most of our Jutsu are Kekkai genkia, you may have taught your signature moves to each other but we can't do that, so we came in here to pass time" he nervously raised her hand "well Shikamaru, before the transformation i had my 'bloodlines' weighing me down and forcing me to do a bare minimal of work, because of this the only jutsu that i knew were the academy ones, and Naruto can already do them" she said nervously "Plus the only non-academy jutsu that I knew were fire style jutsu, and they require an elemental affinity, so i couldn't teach him a jutsu either, we just learned the shadow clone jutsu" Kiba looked taken aback. "you mean that Naruto just taught you his specialty jutsu free of charge"he said. Sakura looked insulted "well we agreed that we would teach Naruto some jutsu that he could learn as soon as we learned them as a way to pay him back. Do you honestly think we would be selfish enough to just learn Narutos signature jutsu and not give anything back"
LOOK WE ALL KNOW THIS ARGUMENT COULD GO ON FOREVER, SO HOW ABOUT SOMETHING THAT CAN PASS YOUR TIME HERE. NOW MINATO, KUSHINA AND I HAVE FIGURED OUT WHAT WOULD BE PERFECT TRAINING FOR YOU, WATER WALKING. At the groups stunned look he decided to elaborate IT'S WHEN YOU CALIBRATE THE CHAKRA IN YOUR FEET AND CONSTANTLY EMIT IT TO STICK TO THE SUFACE OF WATER, IN FACT, AFTER YOU'VE MASTERED THAT WE HAVE A THIRD LEVEL OF CHAKRA CONTROL TRAINING, BUT THAT COMES WHEN YOU'VE MASTERED PERFECT CHAKRA CONTROL IN TWO YEARS, RIGHT NOW YOUR CONTROL IS JUST GOOD ENOUGH TO HAVE GOTTEN THE HANG OF THIS BY THE END OF THE NEXT FEW DAYS NOW GO.
-real world-
Narutos eyes snapped open, "that was weird, right guys" at his nodded response from Sasuke and Sakura he perked up. "now we have some training to do" he sped off out the door. "he's such a weirdo sometimes" Sakura said, shaking her head and following him out the door slightly slower. Sasuke just shook his head "and to think, if it weren't for him we would all be dead" he quietly chuckled as he walked out the door.
They found Naruto talking to one of the chunin that were in charge of guarding the tower from people who would sneak in. As he walked back his tails being flayed out behind him similar to a peacocks plume, showed his pride in himself. "well guys they say that they have a large body of water for us to train in water walking while we wait for the challenge to end" both of them nodded before heading off.
PagebreakPagebreakPagebreak
Naruto arrived with Sasuke and Sakura at around the same time as the other six. "well Sasuke, how about a bet?" Naruto asked, tails twitching in excitement. "what do you have in mind?"Sasuke asked, though he tried to sound emotionless as possible he couldn't help but let a note of anticipation into his voice. "well, how about the one to master water walking the first out of us has to pay the ramen bill of the other for one lunch?" Sasuke considered his options, on one hand their was getting free ramen the best food in the world, but on the other hand their was the potential risk of having to pay for Narutos ramen for one meal, and even an Uchiha would have trouble paying for that. "fine, Game on Naruto" forget the risks, ramen was way to good to miss the opportunity. Narutos face split into a grin "sure, after we've done that then its time to blow everyone else in this exam away"
End
Well guys what do you think, I've decided that since i had no votes on the poll that there will be no pairing, and i want more reviews, pleeeeease. Anyway I want reviews to explain what to keep going, also i want you to tell me if the second genre should be fantasy or humor. I want reviews for what Narutos space time ability should be. Oh and i know what the affinities are going to be too, but i wont tell you nya nya nya nya nya. So review for just about anything, even constructive criticism. Also, reviews do help me try harder and actually try to publish within the week aim, because i have pretty much abandoned that, i just post 'em when they reach around 5k, hope you enjoyed the chapter. later.
