A/N: Well, I decided to try and update quickly since I left the last chapter on such a cruel cliffhanger. For this chapter, I was never really able to get a definitive answer to how the Edo Tensei sacrifice works, so I am making it in the way that best suits my story. Anyways, now to address two issues.

Yes, I realize that the likely thing for Naruto to do would be to attack Shikamaru before he revealed anything, but that would not make for much of a story. In real life, the person probably would have attacked to interrupt him, but in real life you also can't make dragons of fire with hand signs. It is all part of "The willing suspension of disbelief," one of the core elements of theatre, movies, anime, games or just about anything else that involves a story, so to all of you complaining about how unlikely that was…well, to hell with you.

2. Someone has accused me of making Kin a "Mary-Sue." Now correct me if I am wrong on my terminology, but I believe that a Mary-Sue is an OC character that is ridiculously overpowered, like Super OC only in girl form. Now Kin is not an OC, and as for strength, the only person that she has beaten so far is Sakura, and to an extent Ino, and to be honest, who can't beat them at that point in the story. She then proceeds to get beaten by Temari, so how exactly could that be considered overpowered? I don't know if the reviewer is an idiot, or if I misunderstood the term, but once again, it is my story and I will do what I want, so to hell with him.

Well, I feel better now. Anyways, on with the story.

Shadow Fox

Naruto began to quickly look around the arena to take in what was happening, there were explosions in the village, about three quarters of the audience was asleep, the Hokage and the Kazekage had taken off and many sound and sand nin were suddenly attacking the leaf ninjas. Why were they attacking the leaf? Naruto had no idea what was going on, but his thoughts soon wandered to his missing teammates.

'Oh no, I have a bad feeling about this, I need to find them, quickly.' Naruto thought.

Naruto was about to take off to look for his friends but was stopped as he came face to face with his old sensei, Kakashi, who had been waiting at the edge of the arena to make a big entrance with Sasuke when he heard what Shikamaru said.

"Naruto, is it really you?" Kakashi asked.

Naruto wanted to talk to his old sensei, he wanted to let his old team know that he was ok, he wanted to be able to just talk to all of them and see how they all were, but there was no time right now, he had to go and find his new teammates before anything bad happened. He started to take off again but was stopped again by Kakashi.

"Naruto, this attack, are you part of it? Are you our enemy now?"

Naruto turned towards Kakashi, his eyes holding a pleading look as he spoke, "Kakashi, I knew nothing of this attack, and I would like to help you and take the time to talk, but I have to go find my teammates, I am worried about them. Consider me trash if you want, but I can't abandon them and become worse then trash."

Naruto began to melt into the shadows and this time, Kakashi made no move to stop him. How could he without being a hypocrite? He knew that if he were in Naruto's situation right now, he would want to do the same thing. He slightly smiled, knowing that Naruto was alive and seeing him take his own words to heart. He then went off to go and deal with the attacking sound nins.

----------

Orochimaru was pissed, he had arrived at the hokage tower and was fighting his old teacher, just as he had planned. He had not, however, planned on Jiraiya being there as well, waiting for him inside the tower. How the hell did they know about what was going on? How did they plan for this? He looked towards his former sensei when he began to speak.

"Orochimaru my old student, you really shouldn't underestimate our skills in observation and deduction. Did you really think that you could hide Naruto in this exam and not get our attention. First you give Sasuke the cursed seal, then you let Anko see you, both of these alerting us to your presence. Then you risk sending Naruto to the Chuunin exams here. It was obvious that you were planning something if you were willing to risk him getting caught. So when I heard that Jiraiya was in town, I called him and we planned on what to do. Are you really so arrogant that you thought I wouldn't recognize you in your disguise?"

Orochimaru was upset and a bit worried, but he couldn't let that show, he smirked as he talked to them, "Well, almost our whole team is here, if only Tsunade-hime were here, then we could have a full team reunion."

Meanwhile, off in a distant casino, Tsunade was talking to Shizune about the over usage of sneezing jokes.

Back at the battle, Orochimaru decided that he didn't like the two against one odds, so he decided to make it four against two, he liked those odds much better

"Dosu, Zaku, Kin, come out now."

The three teammates emerged, wondering why they were being called out during a battle against the Sandaime hokage and another Sannin.

"What do you plan on doing with three genin Orochimaru? You know that they wouldn't stand a chance against us?" Jiraiya asked

Orochimaru merely smirked as he walked over towards the three teammates.

"It is time that you all made yourselves useful to me, prove your loyalty and give your lives for my benefit."

Orochimaru then formed some hand seals before he reached out and grabbed Dosu by the head. Dosu's vision began to blur as he felt as if the life was being sucked out of him. Through the blur in his eyes, he could faintly see what looked like a box coming out of the ground with the number one on it. He watched as the box came fully out of the ground, the last thing that he saw before the last of his life left him and he collapsed to the ground as a lifeless corpse.

Sarutobi and Jiraiya watched as the Shodaime emerged from the box. They were disgusted that Orochimaru would use such a technique, and yet at the same time they were worried. The two of them together could easily beat Orochimaru, but if he was able to bring back the bodies of previous hokages to fight for him, then they could be in trouble.

Zaku and Kin were not really worried about who it was coming out of the box, that didn't matter to them, they were simply scared. Dosu was dead, and it wasn't any leaf shinobi that killed him, it was Orochimaru, their own leader. What scared them even more was that he had the same thing planned for them. The Shodaime rushed forwards to attack Sarutobi and Jiraiya, as well as to keep them occupied while Orochimaru proceeded with the next otherworldly summoning. Both Jiraiya and Sarutobi were trying to attack the Shodaime quickly and then get past him to stop Orochimaru, but any damage that they caused was healed almost immediately, since his body wasn't a natural one. Orochimaru smirked as he approached his remaining two subordinates.

"So which of you would like to be the next sacrifice for my summoning?" Orochimaru asked them.

Both of them began to back away as Orochimaru continued advancing towards them. Then suddenly, Zaku jumped out in front of Kin.

"Quick Kin, run away! Get out of here and go find Naruto while I hold him off." Zaku told her.

"Zaku no, you won't stand a chance against Orochimaru, we both need to run, I can't just leave you behind." Kin replied.

"If we both run now, he will kill us both. Get out of here and try to find a way out of the barrier, then go find Naruto."

"…but…"

"GO NOW!"

Kin took one last look at her teammate before she ran away with tears in her eyes. She may not have liked him much before, but after Naruto had shown up, the three of them had been very close. She was soon out of Zaku's sight, leaving him alone with Orochimaru.

"Orochimaru-sama, what are you doing? We all looked up to you. You saved me as a child, you gave me power. I had vowed that day that I would serve you to the best of my abilities, so why would you throw us away like this?"

Orochimaru then began to laugh as he fixed his gaze with Zaku's, "You are all simply tools to me, tools to be used and thrown away. You say that you want to serve me as best as you can, then offer yourself as a sacrifice so that I may achieve victory."

Orochimaru began walking towards Zaku again, his arm outstretched towards Zaku's head. Just as he was about to grab onto Zaku's head, Zaku jumped back and shot out a Zankuuha blast towards Orochimaru, knocking him back a bit.

""Stay back, or else I will use the weapon that you gave me to destroy you." Zaku told Orochimaru. This only caused Orochimaru to laugh.

"Do you really think that I would give you a weapon that I myself could not defeat? You only prolong the inevitable."

Zaku smirked at that. He knew that he could not defeat Orochimaru and had no intention of doing so. He planned on doing exactly what Orochimaru had said, prolonging the fight, giving Kin time to escape.

'Naruto, my friend, the only thing that I can do for you now is buy some time for Kin to escape and find you. I wish you both the best.' He thought to himself.

----------

Kin was running, tears blurring her vision as she made her way through the tower. No matter where she looked, she couldn't find a way out of this barrier. She had just reached yet another dead end, but this time when she turned around, she saw Orochimaru, leaving her trapped.

"Ah, my last sacrifice. You really should not have run away like that. You should have just accepted your role as my sacrifice. Oh, and don't bother trying to put up a fight, it would be quite a hassle, and it didn't do your friend very much good."

Kin collapsed to her knees. Zaku was dead, and she would be next. She couldn't get away, and she wouldn't have a chance fighting against Orochimaru. Why did this have to happen? Just when she had figured out how she felt, she never even got to tell him. Naruto…she wanted him to be with her right now. Not to be sacrificed, but she didn't want to leave him, she didn't want to die here…alone…

"Such useful sacrifices you all have made. Not only can I use your lives to summon past hokages to fight by my side, but I am sure that Naruto will be very upset once I tell him that his dear teammates were killed by the leaf ninja. He will be upset, who knows what he will unleash."

Orochimaru smirked as he formed some hand seals and reached his arm out towards Kin's head. Kin had resigned herself to death, there was nothing that she could do. Tears flowed from her eyes as his hand reached her head. The last thing that she could think about was how she would never see Naruto again as her world went black.

Orochimaru smiled as a box with the number four emerged half way out of the ground. There was no way that Sarutobi and Jiraiya would be able to defeat himself and three of the past four hokages, one of which being the Yondaime, considered the most powerful of the hokages. Oh how he despised that man; using him to destroy the village would be fun. The summoning was half complete, there was nothing that could be done to stop it. However, he suddenly had to remove his hand from Kin's head as a shadow spike shot out of the floor towards his arm.

"What the Hell do you think that you are doing to Kin-chan, she is one of your own soldiers!" Naruto yelled as he emerged from the shadows. He had managed to get under the barrier through the shadows and had arrived to the sight of Orochimaru sucking the life out of Kin as a box was emerging from the ground.

"Ah, Naruto-kun. I was hoping that you would not be here to see this. You see, they may be my ninjas, but they are useless as they are. They were simply pawns, pawns that I sacrificed for much more powerful pieces. Dosu was easy enough to deal with, but Zaku was much more difficult about things, but he still didn't last too long."

Naruto was seething at this point. His teammates were gone, his first real friend his own age killed by the man he served, and Kin…He began to see red when suddenly, both Sarutobi and Jiraiya appeared, along with the Shodaime and Nidaime. Sarutobi saw the box with the number four on it and immediately began to form hand seal. When he was finished, a fireball flew out of his mouth and incinerated the box.

Orochimaru frowned that he could not complete the summoning of the Yondaime, but he figured that he could still achieve victory with the Shodaime and Nidaime.

"Humph, it's a shame that you interrupted my jutsu like that, making my sacrifice useless. Left between life and death from an unfinished jutsu, I dare say that the only person who could save her would be our dear friend Tsunade-hime. No matter though, I should be able to take care of the two of you with only two hokages to assist me." Orochimaru smirked until he suddenly felt a chain wrapped around his neck. He turned around to see that Naruto had attacked him. His smirk returned though as he reached up and pulled the Kusanagi blade from out of his mouth. He then proceeded to cut through the chain, releasing himself while Naruto stumbled back from loss of resistance.

"Naruto-kun, you are a much more valuable piece then a pawn, I would have preferred to use you as my next vessel, but that is not possible. However, remember that all pieces are used for the benefit of the king. You are a missing nin, you have nowhere else to go, now stand aside or I will dispose of you just as I disposed of your teammates."

A sudden burst of chakra and killing intent caused Orochimaru, as well as Sarutobi and Jiraiya to look over at a now enraged Naruto.

"Kid, this is as much chakra as you can take. Your body can handle more of my chakra then it did the last time you used it, but you still can't use much." Kyuubi told him in his mind.

Naruto rushed forwards with a barrage of punches and kicks, all the while working to avoid any counterattacks Orochimaru made with his sword. Even with the power boost that he got from Kyuubi, he was no where near Orochimaru's skill, experience or knowledge. Add to that the fact that he was completely blinded by rage, and the result was that Naruto's assault was not really amounting to anything. Orochimaru soon found an opening in Naruto's guards and backhanded him with the hilt of his Kusanagi, knocking him off to the side.

"It is a shame that you chose to betray me like this Naruto, you would have been a very useful subordinate in time, but I am afraid that now I have to end this."

Orochimaru charged forwards with his Kusanagi, intending to impale Naruto with it. Naruto closed his eyes and awaited the blow, only to feel a warm liquid hit him. He looked up and saw the body of Sarutobi, run through by the Kusanagi sword still in Orochimaru's hands. Sarutobi had seen what was about to happen to Naruto and rushed towards him and he intercepted the blow with his own body.

"Old man…" Naruto stuttered out.

"Naruto, I am glad to see that you are ok…(cough)…I am glad that I got to see you one more time before I go."

"No, you'll be ok old man, just please don't die."

"Sorry Naruto, but I won't pull through this one (cough), Naruto, know that you are not a missing nin, you can come back to Konoha if you want to (cough)."

Orochimaru smirked. He may not have intended for it to go this way, but he still managed to achieve his goal of killing his old teacher. Now killing his old teammate and Naruto would be easy. His confidence turned to fear however when he noticed what Sarutobi had been preparing as he ran towards Naruto.

"The Shiki-Fuujin." Orochimaru sputtered out.

"Correct my former student, it is a kage's job to protect his people, even at the cost of his own life."

The Death God himself soon appeared, and the artificial bodies of the former hokages were soon turned to dust. Orochimaru himself felt his soul being torn away from him, but Sarutobi's wound from the Kusanagi caught up to him, and only managed to seal away the use of his arms before he fell down, dead.

'Damn it, it will be difficult for me to fight with Jiraiya when I don't have the use of my hands. It looks like I will have to retreat for now. I will deal with Jiraiya and Naruto at another time, but first, I should have a little fun.'

"Well, it seems that I will have to take my leave for now, but before I go, let me leave you a parting gift Naruto-kun."

Orochimaru's neck suddenly began to stretch out towards the body of Kin. Naruto rushed over towards her, but was unable to stop Orochimaru as he bit down into Kin's neck. Kin's body jerked unconsciously as Naruto finally reached her and held her in his arms. He saw three small markings take shape on her neck and he wondered what he had done to her.

Orochimaru had the four members of the sound five release their barrier as he made his retreat. Jiraiya chased after him, but was unable to catch up to him as multiple sound nin appeared to slow him down. He eventually gave up chase and went back to have a talk with the boy, Naruto. When he returned to the Hokage tower though, he found the boy missing, along with the bodies of the three sound genin.

----------

Naruto stared at the two makeshift gravestones that he placed in the spot that he buried Dosu and Zaku. He had never really had much of a chance to get to know Dosu, but he was still upset by his death. Then there was Zaku, the first friend his age that he had ever had. He was hit much harder by this death then he had been by Dosu's. He cursed himself for not being able to find his teammates sooner. If he had found them sooner, if he had arrived sooner, then he might have been able to help them escape, they could have still been alive right now. As he stared at these two graves, he thought of a third death that had hit him as hard as Zaku's death had, The Sandaime hokage himself, more affectionately known to Naruto as "The old man." The old man was the first person who had shown any form of concern or care for Naruto, he couldn't believe that he was gone, sacrificing himself for his sake. Tears began to well up in his eyes at the loss of the people important to him. He had never had that many people who cared about him, and he had just lost about half of those people in the course of one day.

His thoughts then turned to the man that had caused all of this. Orochimaru…he had killed them all himself, used them like tools and threw them away when they were not needed anymore. His thoughts flashed back to Zabuza and Haku, but there was a big difference between Zabuza and Orochimaru. While he never showed it much, Zabuza had cared for Haku, but Orochimaru…they were all nothing more then tools for him. He knew that he was no match for Orochimaru yet, but he vowed that one day, he would have his revenge.

He then proceeded to look at the girl that he carried in his arms. Kin…she was not dead, and yet at the same time, she was not alive. Not only that, but she had those strange markings on her neck that Orochimaru had given her when he bit her. Naruto stood up as he began to steel his resolve. He had failed his other teammates, but he would not fail her. He shivered uncontrollably at the thought of losing her. He cared for her a great deal, he just couldn't lose her now, it would be unbearable. He begin to walk away from the graves, vowing to return at another time. As he walked away, he had only one thought on his mind.

'Tsunade.'

----------

In the forests of Konoha, Uchiha Sasuke could be seen fighting for his life against a seemingly invincible opponent in the sand nin, Gaara. He was low on Chakra and was losing the fight, even with the use of his cursed seal. It seemed that he was doomed to die here at the hands of this crazed sand nin, never to accomplish his goal of killing his brother. Just as a hand of sand made its way towards him, it suddenly stopped as the boy held his head in pain, seemingly talking to himself.

Gaara was fighting with the voice of Shukaku in his head. While the demon was usually restless and bloodthirsty like this, it was going absolutely nuts right now. He could not make out the entirety of what it was saying, he could only understand broken fragments of it.

"Fox…nearby…like me…but different…no power…no control…kill it…kill the fox…we will be greatest…we will be lord…"

"We will go after this fox once we are done with our mission, we will attack in Konoha, wouldn't you like their blood?" Gaara asked the demon inside of him.

"NO…WE GO NOW…FOX MORE IMPORTANT…GO NOW!"

Gaara held his head due to the enormous pain he was feeling due to the Shukaku. It would not go away unless he obeyed the demon, so he began to run off, leaving Sasuke, Sakura and Temari behind him in the forest as he went to look for this "Fox."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A/N: And that is it for this chapter. Sorry that I kind of avoided most fights, but I really didn't feel like dealing with them this chapter. Anyways, I would also like to see no being nitpicky over jutsu use in this chapter, I tried to keep things fairly accurate, but this way worked best for me, so deal with it.

On a second note, yes I did kill Zaku, no whining. I just tend to like death as a plot point, so it is pretty much guaranteed that in any story that I write, someone is going to die. However, I can't believe that you all thought that I was going to kill of Kin. It can't really be much of a Naru/Kin fic if they never even admit there love to each other. I am ashamed of you all for thinking that.

On a third note, I forgot to mention two Naru/Harem stories in my list that are up there, and I felt bad because they are good, and one of them his a nice scene about Kin loving Naruto(Viva le Revolution), although it is still in the early stages. Anyways, those stories are Naruto: Love Hina Style (not a crossover, but an inspired by fic) and Girl Fight. Both of these are written by the same author. Go, read, enjoy.

And on a last note, I would like to say that I am amazed that there was actually a winner to last chapters contest. Congratulations to Veiled Reticence for recognizing the technique from Grandia 2…I honestly didn't think that anyone would get that one.

And now, chapter three of "The adventures of Naruto and Super OC."

--------------------

Naruto was now at upper jounin level strength thanks to his training, and he was only 8 years old. One night when he fell asleep, he found himself in a sewer. He walked forwards and found a large fox in a cave.

"Hello Kit."

"Hi, are you Kyuubi."

"Yes, let me take on a human form so that it is easier to talk to me and so that the writer can stop using bold type."

Kyuubi then turned into a girl with red hair, and nine tails, and a large chest, and other generic female Kyuubi descriptions.

"Holy hell, you are a girl!"

"Yes, indeed I am. I would like to say that I am very sorry for the way that those villagers have treated you because of me, it breaks my heart every time I see it. You do not deserve this kit."

"It's ok, it is not your fault."

"I am glad to hear that."

"Hey Kyuubi?"

"Yes?"

"Can I call you kaa-san?"

Then A tear formed in Kyuubi's eye, because all that it really takes to make a demon cry is for a young innocent boy to call it mother."

"Or course you can my little kit…ok we are done here, wake up now."

A few months had passed, an Naruto had now reached Anbu levels of strength. He was reading a scroll when he accidentally moved the paper across his finger, making a small cut.

"Quick Kit, come to my cage!" Kyuubi shouted in his mind. Naruto complied and entered the sewer in his mindscape.

"Quick, tear a small piece off of the seal!"

Naruto complied and soon felt a rush of Chakra throughout his body. He suddenly got taller, his eyes turned red, his ears got pointed, his teeth got longer and sharper, his whisker marks more defined, other generic demon-Naruto description, and if the author feels so inclined, maybe even a tail. Naruto looked at his new form for a while, and then noticed the small paper cut on his finger healing up.

"…YOU FUSED WITH ME OVER A STUPID PAPER CUT!"

"I'M SORRY, ALRIGHT. I PANICKED WHEN I SAW YOU HURT."

"Oh well, I forgive you kaa-san. It's not so bad, and now I am even more powerful, probably Sannin level."

"Well, that's good, now go back and train some more."

And so, that is what he did.

Next chapter: Naruto returns to Konoha to join the academy.

--------------------

That's all for now.
