Sup peeps! I'm here with the ninth chapter of Naruto: Version 1!
The Forest of Death is awaiting you guys!
So, without a further ado, here we go!
(A/N: For all the writers out there, I understand how you guys feel. My chapters are usually over five thousand words, and yet on Microsoft Word I typed out a whole 15 pages…)
Chapter 9:
The Second Exam
As each genin stared at Anko, she decided to break the eerie silence that had descended upon the group.
"77 genin left, Ibiki? My, you've gone soft!" she exclaimed. "And Itachi, no less!" she added.
"You have Namikaze over there to thank for that." Ibiki said. She quickly scanned the room for golden blond hair (A/N: The most efficient way to search for a Namikaze!) until she saw a mop of it.
"I see…" she mused. After a second, she snapped out of it.
"Alright kiddies, meet me by Training Ground 44 in fifteen minutes!" she said. The foreigners looked rather confused, while all the Konoha genin blanched. Everyone took note of that and turned to them with questioning gazes. They merely gulped and shifted in their seats.
"I'd suggest you all get moving…" she said whilst looking at the very unresponsive group. She disappeared after noting that a large commotion had occurred. Several of the Konoha genin leapt out of the window, with the foreigners following them as to avoid getting lost in the village. After all, they were on a time constraint.
As they all poured in, Anko stood before the main entrance to the training ground. Or should I say jungle?
The grounds were littered with trees and vines and other foliage that was so thick that light became very scattered after about thirty feet into it. They could hear a lot of noise also coming from the jungle. It sounded like a thousand animals were all battling each other and dying. Out of the forest came one Nagato Namikaze.
"Ok shrimps, so the second part of the exam will be held in Training Ground 44, or for you foreigners, Konoha's Forest of Death!" she said cheerily. This drew a very panicked reaction from the group of chunin hopefuls; they had heard tales of the man eating spiders, two feet long leeches, two ton tigers, and just about anything else that you could think of, all residing in the forest they were to enter.
"Now normally, the Forest is off limits to many people, and usually only those above jonin enter. Sometimes they don't ever come out! That's why we decided that you guys will use this as your playground.
Your task is simple. There are twenty four teams; twelve teams will get a scroll with the Earth symbol on it, and twelve will receive one with the Heaven kanji on it. You'll have to get the scroll opposite of the one you start out with and make your way to the tower in the center of the forest to pass to the third exam. You guys will have five days to do this. For the teams of three, you need all three members to advance. For the squads of four, only three of you are needed to get by." she explained. Choji instantly had a question.
"What will we do for food?" he wondered. She shrugged nonchalantly.
"Make due with what the forest provides you. But know this: death from starvation is the least of your worries." she stated with an evil chuckle at the end.
"Anything else?" she asked. Nobody else dared ask another question.
"So kids, a form will be going around thanks to my lovely assistant Nagato," causing him to glare at her, "and when you get one, sign your name at the bottom." Anko instructed.
"What's the form about?" Yugito curiously inquired.
"Oh, it's a release form saying that Konoha is not to blame for your death in the Forest. When we send your corpse back to your village, they know that it's your fault for dying in there." she said in an offhanded tone. Everyone stiffened; they really believed that death would occur, didn't they?
"And one last thing," Anko warned. "Every village has their own way of spicing up the competition in the second exams, making it tougher. Well, this is Konoha's way." she stated. In several puffs of smoke, several people appeared, causing all to blanch.
Among the crowd was the Third Hokage, the God of All Shinobi, the Professor, Hiruzen Sarutobi; the Slug Princess and Legendary Sucker, Tsunade Senju; the Snake Sannin, Orochimaru; the Toad Sannin and writer of Icha Icha, Jiraiya; the Genjutsu Mistress of Konoha, Kurenai Yuhi; the Cold Hearted Master of the Sharingan, Itachi Uchiha; the God of Mortals, Nagato Namikaze; and of course, Kakashi of the Sharingan.
"So…many…high level…shinobi." Naruto stated in awe.
"These guys will act as Challengers. Their objective is to keep you from reaching the base. However, they carry both scrolls with them. If you feel that you can go with one of them instead of hunting for a team; be our guest. If you win, you get the scroll you need. If they win, they take your scroll. And sometimes, they will come to you." she stated. With all the forms filled, the teams spread out to their own gates.
"By the way, don't open the scrolls until you reach the tower." she chided.
Naruto stared at Gate 17, their assigned gate into the Forest of Death. He had been appointed as the leader of his squad in the Forest; he was the strongest, so it was only natural. Haku held the Heaven scroll they had; she was the fastest of them all, and could easily escape with the scroll if they were in a compromising situation.
"On your marks…" Anko stated in an amplified voice. All teams got ready to head into the Forest.
"Get set…" she continued. All of the genin tensed in anticipation of the event.
"KICK EACH OTHER'S ASSES!" she screamed as the gates swung open. Naruto and his squad threw themselves at a high speed into the forest.
In a chakra enhanced burst of speed, our team of four flew through the forest at a very high speed. They jumped from tree branch to tree branch until they came across a very nice and small clearing.
"Alright guys, time to talk strategy." Naruto commanded as they landed inside a small cave.
"First off, Naruto, you know how to make a scroll, right?" Sasuke asked.
"Yes, but we can't open the real scroll so I can't make a copy." he affirmed. Sasuke waved him off.
"Ma, ma, we don't need the insides! Just use the scrolls I know you carry with you at all times to make fake scrolls. Once you make three, hand one to Hinata and I, and keep one for yourself. In the case we've been defeated, hand over the fake scroll." he explained. Naruto nodded and got to working on it after he unsealed his supplies from a storage scroll. He tossed it to Hinata, who easily caught it even without looking.
"What's this?" she asked.
"Hmm…when they said make due with food the forest provides us, we're not going to do that. All of the berries in here are poisonous, and unless we have to kill the tigers and spiders, I'm not up for eating them. Since they don't expect us to be so highly prepared like we are, I made a scroll with food. I trust you with this, Hinata." he stated. She blushed at the knowledge that Naruto trusted her that much before nodding in comprehension.
"Hinata, can you use your Byakugan to tell us if there are any dangers in the area?" Naruto suggested.
"Sure," she replied while doing the hand sign.
"Byakugan!" she said and looked around.
"Let's see…there's the Sand genin about three fourths of a mile away, Itachi is in combat with them…Kakashi sensei is battling the Kumo squad from the confrontation…and Naruto, you should hurry." she stated with while blanching from fright.
"What is it?" he asked as he distributed the scrolls he had worked on.
"It's…" Hinata trailed off.
The Sand genin had been moving along nicely, trying to find a Challenger. At first, they had wanted to set out for a team of genin that was easy enough to win against and just get to the base, but both Daisuke and Gaara vehemently argued against it. Daisuke said that because of his bloodline, he could easily take them on. Gaara stated that killing them would be a very good way to prove his existence. And since Daisuke was the leader and Gaara the most powerful (though Daisuke doesn't think that), Kankuro and Temari had no choice but to listen to their demands.
"Don't tell me that the Challengers are scared of me!" Daisuke foolishly yelled.
"Shut up, you idiot!" Temari hissed. He slowed down enough so that he was at the back of the squad, and with one well placed smack, hit her ass.
"What the fuck?" she asked, trying desperately to keep her cool. Being stuck in the middle of a deadly forest and having several world renowned people and other teams coming after you would make her nervous.
"I'm the leader, Temari, and you have been very bad." he said in a sultry tone before getting in front of her again.
At that moment, they all heard a voice.
"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough," the voice whispered loud enough for them to hear. Kankuro and Daisuke, being unaware and not fast enough, were blown away from their teammate. Gaara's sand was raised to give him protection from the wind. Temari, being the Wind Angel's holder, was unaffected by the wind. Both she and Gaara turned to the apathetic Uchiha that was staring them down with the Sharingan.
"Itachi Uchiha…I shall kill you, and prove my existence." Gaara stated simply.
"You? Kill me?" he asked. In a burst of pure speed, he was behind Gaara, whose eyes widened. The sand had moved, but he had cut through it like it was nothing!
"Let's get started." he said before jumping away as a wind tornado impacted his previous location.
Samui and Yugito sighed as they listened to Karui and Omoi argue. They had been going at it ever since the end of the first exam, and even when they were battling some weak Oto team, who were brutally killed, they had been arguing during the battle.
"No, no, no," Omoi countered. "Samui's breasts are too big for her frame; that's why she hurts in her shoulders. Yugito's breasts are slightly smaller," causing a tic mark to appear on her head, "and she has a little larger frame, so she doesn't feel the pain as often or as bad. You are flat chested; you shouldn't be feeling any pain."
A tick mark appeared on Karui's head. "How do you know if I'm flat chested or not?" she asked. Omoi gave her the "Are you serious" look.
"When I look at Samui's breasts, I can very clearly see them. When I look at Yugito's chest, I can very clearly see her breasts. When I look at your chest, I can't see anything besides your clothing." he said.
"And how do you know I'm not using some jutsu to hide my chest?" she asked heatedly.
Throughout the whole ordeal, Samui was rubbing her shoulders.
"Ugh…my shoulders hurt." Samui complained.
"Maybe you should wear a bra?" Yugito suggested.
"Yugito, you know Kumo doesn't sell bra sizes my size." she stated.
"Well, you could try Konoha's," a hidden voice suggested. All the Kumo genin stopped and turned with their weapons drawn. They looked up at a branch high above them to see the masked scare crow, Kakashi Hatake.
"Kakashi of the Sharingan…why are you here?" Yugito questioned.
"My, my, weren't you listening during the instructions? We'd be coming after you all, you know." he said while turning a page in his book. Everyone sweat dropped.
"Lightning Style: False Darkness," Samui performed, hoping to get out of there early. Unfortunately, Kakashi had other plans.
"Lightning Style: Thunder Lance," he said as a small lance, about one and a half feet in length, appeared in his hands after he put the book away. He batted the attack at Omoi, who hadn't expected it and was struck down as a result. The other three gulped.
Naruto cursed as he and his team fled from their Challenger. They had simply been out powered by him. After a short battle, they had to flee from his power. Unfortunately, they ran into the Iwa squad at the same time Nagato, their Challenger, caught up.
"Well this is…interesting." Nagato stated. Everyone except for Han tensed in anticipation. Han was glaring at the Konoha squad full of angels.
"Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu," Naruto said while aiming at the Iwa squad.
"Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu," Sasuke performed to Nagato as well.
The Iwa squad jumped out of harm's way, while Nagato just looked at it before it disappeared into a series of sparks.
"Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu," Hinata said as the water from the nearby pond rose up and assaulted the Iwa squad. Kudzu and Habi had frozen up, and as a result they were hit hard. Haku and Hinata went after them, leaving Sasuke and Naruto to face off with Nagato, as well as Han and Tiar.
Gaara cursed as he sent another sand spike at Itachi, who blurred away from him. He appeared behind Kankuro and kicked him in the spine. Kankuro went with the momentum and landed on his feet before sending Crow out after Itachi.
"Wind Style: Vacuum Serial Waves," Temari said at the same time from the other side as eight sharpened wind blades flew at him. To Kankuro's horror, Itachi substituted with Crow, which was promptly cut into several pieces. Itachi jumped over the remaining blades.
While in the air, Daisuke jumped off a tree and, after getting close enough, kicked at him. Itachi caught the kick, spun and threw Daisuke at Temari, who was trying to launch another attack. Daisuke hit Temari and the two went tumbling until they stopped with Daisuke's face in between Temari's boobs.
"Well, well, Temari, I see you can't wait for my dick inside of you…but since we're in a battle with Itachi Uchiha, I can't right now." he said for once as he shoved her off. He stood up and did more hand signs.
"Earth Style: Earth Dragon," he said as the earth dragon formed from the surrounding dirt and charged Itachi, who did hand signs of his own.
"Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu," he said as the fire ball clashed with the earth dragon. To Daisuke's surprise, Itachi's fireball burnt straight through the dragon with ease and flew at him. Luckily for him, a wall of sand shot up in front of him. The fireball tried to force its way through, but Gaara added Shukaku's chakra to the sand, so the fireball eventually faded.
"Sand Bullet," he said as a compressed ball of sand flew at and slammed into Itachi. Itachi, however, burst into crows.
Kankuro felt a searing pain in his neck before he fell. Behind him was Itachi, who had knocked him out. He turned to face the three genin who had regrouped before him.
"Wind Style: Vacuum Great Sphere," Temari said as the ball of air flew at Itachi.
"Wind Style: Godly Wind from the Mountains," Daisuke said as the vortex of wind flew from his hands at Itachi as well.
"Sand Binding Coffin," Gaara said as he restrained the Uchiha, who made no move to protest or even dodge. He closed his eyes as the wind attacks got closer to him, before opening to reveal the Mangekyou Sharingan.
"Defense of the Gods**," he said as a solid wall made of some force appeared in front of him. The attacks hit the wall and reflected back to hit Temari and Daisuke, who were instantly out cold. As if that wasn't enough, Daisuke landed out cold with his head in between Temari's legs. One of his hands was squashed underneath her ass, while the other was one on of her breasts.
He idly noted that the sand on him grew so much so that it covered him. Gaara instantly called out-
"Sand Coffin," he said as it restrained the Uchiha. He closed the hand. "Sand Burial."
The sand instantly imploded, destroying everything within the contents of it. Sand and…wood rained down upon Gaara. He cursed, realizing that Itachi never meant to battle him. Itachi had just knocked out three of his teammates, leaving him alone in the middle of the Forest of Death.
Itachi sat in a tree nearby Gaara, blending in with the surroundings and feeling rather accomplished. Honestly, he didn't even need the Mangekyou Sharingan; he had used it because he had wanted to test his newest Sharingan technique, the "Defense of the Gods," out. Tsunade had found out why the people with the Mangekyou Sharingan went blind long ago; it had been because forcing out chakra from your eye was very stressful on the nerves. After a cure had been made, Itachi's sight stopped fading, and he could use all his techniques with ease.
Content with his damage, he went off to go find another team to...play...with.
Kakashi threw his thunder lance at Yugito after swatting Samui's lightning attack at Omoi. Yugito did a back flip onto a lower branch, already doing hand signs.
"Lightning Release: Bolt," she said as a bolt of lightning came from above and tried to hit Kakashi. He, however, had used the Substitution Jutsu with Omoi. Omoi, already unable to move because of the earlier attack he had been hit with, has hit with a lightning bolt that had enough voltage to knock him out. He hit the ground hard.
"Ninja Arts: Dance of the Blade," Karui said as she appeared in front of the masked man. She slashed at Kakashi several times, but the Master of 1000 Jutsus blocked each attack with a kunai. She smirked and created a second blade with lightning. She tried to run him through with that sword, but Kakashi just puffed into non existence. He appeared before her and slammed his fist into her face, sending her tumbling into Samui.
Yugito threw a kunai with an explosive note at the man, who grabbed it and threw it back. She cursed for setting a delayed timer as she jumped away. The bomb kicked up rock and dirt, hindering her vision of Kakashi.
"Lightning Style: Electromagnetic Murder," she heard him say several times. She jumped up as four identical blasts of lightning swarmed her from all sides. In doing so, however, she made a grave mistake.
"Lightning Style: Static Tower," he said. The lightning attacks all exploded, raising a blast of electricity into the air. Seeing as how she had jumped straight up, it slammed into her, hitting her with high amounts of voltage. In fact, if it weren't for the Nibi no Nekomata inside of her, Kakashi was sure that she would be little more than a pile of goo. However, seeing as how it was, she just fainted from the instant damage being dealt to her. With a thud, she crashed through several trees and landed on a tree branch.
Kakashi turned to meet a wind vortex flying at him. He jumped up and away, fleeing from the battle after knocking both Yugito and Omoi out. Both he and Itachi both realized then that they had forgotten about collecting the scroll at that point, but it really didn't matter, right?
Samui dropped next to Yugito, as Karui did Omoi. She cursed. Omoi would be fine; after all, he had an affinity for Lightning, so the attacks he was hit with weren't that bad. Yugito, however, had been hit hard with a very strong jutsu; it was likely that she would be out for a day or two. At least, she thought, that they still had the scroll.
As Karui hauled Omoi and Samui picked up Yugito, she idly noted that her shoulders hurt much more than before.
Haku threw another senbon in Kudzu, who had been trapped in her ice mirrors for quite awhile. He had appeared to be the Taijutsu master of the group, so once he was in the dome, he couldn't really do much. In fact, he hadn't touched Haku ever since the battle began, because Haku still outmatched him in Taijutsu.
With another flick of the wrist, a senbon pierced a pressure point in his neck, instantly knocking him out cold. Haku turned her attention to Hinata and Habi.
Hinata broke free of the third Genjutsu she had been caught in and charged Habi. The girl was talented in Genjutsu, but Hinata's Byakugan saw through them all clearly. She appeared in front of the Iwa genin, hitting her tenketsus in her shoulder before Habi could realize.
Habi lamely swung at Hinata, who side stepped the attack before catching the girl's wrist. She quickly disabled all the tenketsus in her arm, before weaving her way back to the girl's main body. With 33 hits, Hinata managed to seal off all the chakra to the girl's legs, which brought her down. And with a simple kick to the head, the girl was out cold.
Hinata grinned as she pulled out the Earth scroll from Habi's unconscious corpse. With it, they could get into the tower now! She turned to Haku, who had been watching the fight, before they both nodded and went back to the main battle.
Naruto dodged yet another punch from Han before responding with an axe kick. Han blocked with a cross guard. While they were like that, Nagato called out.
"Shinra Tensei," he said as both ninjas were rocketed away from him. Han smashed through a few trees and rolled across the ground some distance, while Naruto crashed through some trees but actually managed to grab a branch. He did have experience with the jutsu, after all.
"Fire Style: Fire Fox Jutsu," he said, creating a few foxes of fire.
"Lightning Style: Lightning Bear Jutsu," he said as three bears surrounded him in a triangle.
"Wind Style: Wind Falcon Jutsu," he said as several birds of air shimmered to life and perched on a tree.
"Ice Style: Ice Wolves," he finished, creating a pack of wolves made of frozen water. He nodded as they all set off to finish Han.
Nagato stood, fairly certain that because Naruto was such a hard worker, he would go after Nagato. However, what happened instead is that Sasuke appeared to combat him instead.
"What happened to your opponent?" he asked, amused.
"He…died." Sasuke said rather bluntly. The guy had been caught up in a fireball and burnt to a crisp.
"I see…" he said as Sharingan met Rinnegan.
"Water Style: Twin Rising Dragons," Hinata's voice said.
"Ice Style: Black Wolf Barrage," Haku's voice rang out.
Two water dragons rose up in a synchronized dance, as five black ice wolves charged Nagato. He had seen this jutsu once in the Snow Country; the user would make black ice wolves that were much stronger and faster than the regular ones. They also had to power to launch ice beams, something that he noted after he had been attacked by three of them.
"Fire Style: Flame Trail," Sasuke said as several walls of fire appeared; one would burst up then calm down, then another in front of it, and so on and so forth. Nagato rolled to the side as it burst out from under where he used to be standing.
Two wolves practically flew at him, snarling as they went. Nagato ducked under one, side stepped another, and jumped as a third had launched a beam of ice at him. The fourth had run up the side of a tree and attacked him midair.
"Shinra Tensei," Nagato said as it neared him. The wolf, along with the other four wolves, were thrown away and shattered against the ground into crystals.
While he was descending, the two water dragons charged him. He cursed because he knew that he couldn't use the Shinra Tensei again for a bit.
"Bansho Tenin," he said while pulling a huge boulder to him. He smirked as it flew in front of him just as both dragons collided with it, causing it to break but doing the job. Both water dragons were turned into puddles. Nagato landed and flew at Sasuke.
Han groaned as he sat up. The last jutsu had packed a real hard punch. But he was a demon; he would not let the puny little mortal defeat him!
As he stood, several wind falcons and ice wolves attacked him. He looked at them before snorting. He then did several hand signs.
"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet," he said as an earth dragon appeared out of the ground and sprayed earth bullets everywhere. The projectiles managed to hit about four ice wolves and, to Han's surprise, only phased through the birds of air that flew around, constantly swiping at him. Once the dragon ran out of bullets, it roared, stood up and thrashed two of the remaining three wolves. The final one managed to find his blind spot and slammed into him. Han groaned as his left arm was encased in a very delicate frosting that was slowly spreading across his arm. He figured that it was frostbite.
'Five Tails, why aren't you melting the ice?' Han demanded to know of his demon.
"It's infused with high levels of angelic chakra…my chakra is too weak to deal with it. That, and if you die, unlike the other Jinchuriki, I can go to Hell, have fun battling stuff for a while, and come back after a few thousand years or so." he stated without really caring for his Jinchuriki. Han growled a very feral growl. This thing that was supposed to support him was hindering him! Without it, he couldn't even use the Steam jutsu he knew.
A few foxes of fire appeared and charged him while confusing him. They traveled quickly, leaving embers wherever they stepped. They crossed each other's paths very often; some fell back, others charged ahead, some jumped onto overhead branches, and two even merged into what appeared to be a fox with two tails!
Han raised a hand with a kunai, ready to protect his persons. The ice had cut off all circulation to his arm, rendering it and his jutsu useless. Even if it hadn't, it was still so numb that he couldn't feel it.
On the inside, the Gobi knew that it was much, much worse. The ice had penetrated several pores, freezing up several bundles of nerves and making the muscles harder. The bones were developing frost as well. Even the blood had stopped moving as fast; it was simply too cold to travel around.
Honestly, the Five Tails did not care.
Fifteen years ago, he had been wandering the forests of the Land of Earth- peacefully, might I add. He hadn't been destroying anything at all; simply walking around in the forest, looking for something foolish enough to challenge it. Alright, maybe he had massacred a few bears here and there, but he hadn't done anything destructive lately…
Well, maybe going on a rampage and blowing up three small villages could go under that category.
But anyway, he had been walking around trying to find something to pass the time when a platoon of Iwa ninja had ambushed him. They used special ninja wire reinforced with .3 inches of titanium- the only thing the Gobi's vile chakra could not corrode. After that, they had brought him a baby and with some jutsu had sealed him inside of the child.
When they had first met when Han was 10, the Gobi actually tried to befriend the child after watching the first ten years of his life shrouded by sorrow, grief and loneliness. But the child, delusional from the torture and abuse he suffered, had vehemently refused and called the Gobi out. The Gobi tried repeatedly to help the child, but after a while, he absolutely stopped contacting the boy. After that, the relationship plummeted from zero to below zero. Now it was rather a relationship of two beings who wanted desperately to kill each other. And the Gobi was tired of hauling his ass around.
Han weakly slashed at one fox, who ducked and hit his leg in a shower of flames. He screamed as the foxes quickly consumed him, burning everywhere except the frozen arm. When Naruto walked up to him, he shook his head in disgust.
"I should kill you." he stated. Han closed his eyes.
"Then do it. Send me away from humanity; for I do not belong in this society." he said.
Naruto gave one final look at him before nicking his thumb. He made a few hand signs.
"Summoning Jutsu," he said as a lion appeared. It roared before stalking over to Han.
Naruto walked away as the lion proceeded to eat his dinner.
Nagato looked up to see Sasuke doing more hand signs.
"Fire Style: Fire Fists," he said as flames appeared over his hands.
"Lightning Style: Reflex Shock," he said. This lightning jutsu had been created by Sasuke and Naruto a few months ago. It sent electricity up and down the nerves at a faster pace, increasing speed, strength, reaction time, and sight.
Sasuke blurred in front of Nagato and attempted to hit him in the right cheek. Nagato ducked and came back up with an uppercut. Sasuke whipped his body around so that he was behind Nagato and swung at the man's spine. In response, Nagato performed the Shinra Tensei again. Sasuke was thrown into the air, with his fire fists disrupted.
Hinata appeared behind him and tried a palm strike on a tenketsu in his leg. Nagato jumped over her and landed behind her. As she turned, he grabbed an arm. Doing a front flip over the girl, he separated her shoulder as he threw her over to Sasuke. He caught her and quickly put her down, remembering the conflicting Spirits rule. She screamed in agony as she felt the pain in her shoulder.
Naruto was traveling through the forest at a normal pace until he saw Gaara's squad resting. All of them were awake, though Temari, Daisuke and Kankuro looked a little disheveled. Gaara looked relatively normal, but he had a contemplative look on his face.
"Alright guys," Daisuke stood up. "We're going to sleep now. Kankuro, you can hit the hay. Gaara, since you don't sleep, you can stay out here and alert us to enemy incomings. Temari, I want a private word with you." he said in a serious tone. Gaara stayed where he was, and Kankuro nodded as he went in the tent. He decided to follow Temari and Daisuke as he knew that whatever they might have said could impact the exams.
After a fifteen minute trip, the trio arrived in a small clearing. Daisuke turned to Temari as Naruto tuned an ear to the conversation.
"So, Temari, what do you think of the invasion plans?" Daisuke asked. Naruto had to stifle a gasp. Invasion? What invasion?
"Hmm…I think that Iwa and Suna is more than enough to take Konoha down." she surmised. Naruto clenched his fists. Iwa and Suna were going to invade Konoha? "However," Temari continued, "I'm not sure why we're doing this. Lord Kazekage has never thought of conquering Konoha before."
Daisuke merely shrugged in response. "Unfortunately, I am neither the Kazekage nor a psychic; I rarely know what Lord Kazekage is thinking. Secondly, please come over here." he asked of her. She did as she was told. Before she knew it, Daisuke had pushed her against the wall and taken her first kiss.
(WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! INTIMACY HAPPENING NOW! SEMI-RAPE!)
Temari pushed against Daisuke, but her strength was failing her. After the battle with Itachi, she hadn't her usual strength. For the whole trip, she had to deal with slaps to the ass because of the douche and Gaara and Kankuro couldn't do anything lest they receive the wrath of the Kazekage. Now that she thought about it, for the first time in her life, she gave up. Daisuke would have her way with her.
Temari had nothing. Gaara and Kankuro were too far away to assist her. Even if they weren't, when they returned to Suna they would get the worst punishments ever. And at the same time, if Temari resisted, then Daisuke would tell the Kazekage. Either way, some dumb shit would happen that screwed Temari over. And if Daisuke wanted to screw HER over, then she would let him do it to stay alive.
She didn't really enjoy it, but she didn't resist. Nor did she participate in the relations. She just stood there, moving occasionally whenever he required her of it.
She felt Daisuke grasp at her breasts again. This time, to his delight, he seemed to have broken her spirit, her resistance. He had no bloodline and had no reason to fuck Temari over; he just wanted to have sex with her. She was hot. That was all the reason he needed.
To him, she was the sexiest person in Suna, and he'd be damned if he didn't tap her ass at least.
He kneaded her breasts while making his way down her neck. After placing a hickey, he tore the dress off, leaving Temari in a bra and panties. He eyed her again before going back to his work. As he played with her breasts, he also grinded against Temari's pinned form.
After a while, Daisuke flicked the bra off, revealing her C-cupped breasts. He quickly grabbed them once more, giving the nipples flicks as he did so. He took one in his mouth and sucked, flicked and bit it. Yet to his disappointment, she didn't moan. So he tried a more physical approach.
"Moan, BITCH!" he said while slapping her across the face. She fell, in both pain and shock. She now wanted nothing more than to bash his head in. Before she could go any further, however, something else hit him.
(SEMI-RAPE SCENE IS OVER! STORY RESUMES)
That something revealed itself to be one Naruto Namikaze, seething in rage. If there was one thing he hated, it was rapists. To degrade such a person by raping them was NOT ok in his books.
Temari looked at him in shock. Not only did this boy, no, this man barely know her, but he had saved her twice! She looked at him in shock, happiness, and to Naruto's confusion, lust?
He decided not to focus on her and instead turned his attention to the enemy. Daisuke stood up, anger clearly visible on his face as he clutched at his chest, the area of impact.
"How dare you interrupt me?" he asked while doing hand signs. Naruto did his own signs.
"Wind Style: Godly Winds from the Mountains," Daisuke said as the vortex of wind flew from in between the space that resided between his two palms.
"Lightning Style: False Darkness," Naruto said as the lightning spear came out from his throat and flew at the wind attack. Though lightning was weak against wind, Naruto's jutsu overpowered Daisuke's.
"ARGHHHH!" Daisuke screamed as he was blasted through several trees before hitting the ground next to Gaara, who looked at him before shrugging.
Naruto grinned and turned back to Temari to meet her lips against his. They stayed like that for a minute before Temari pulled back, with a blush adorned on her cheeks. Naruto's face was a bright reed as well.
"Um…w-w-what was t-that f-f-for?" Naruto stuttered out, cursing himself for sounding like his favorite Hyuga at this time.
"Well, although I barely know you, you've saved me twice from that pig. You're our enemy, but yet you keep helping me, and I felt the need to repay you." she said.
That was when they both realized that Temari was still naked. Both quickly separated by about a good three feet before looking away from each other. Although, the perverted part of Naruto couldn't help but glance at Temari's figure every few seconds. He then sighed.
"Listen, how about when this is over, we go on a date, maybe?" he asked. Temari didn't even need time to think it over. She just automatically said yes.
Then, surprising Naruto, she jumped on him and wrapped her legs around his torso, grinding against his cock, which he had been trying to get to go down for quite a while now. He was put in further shock when a hand reached down and gave it a squeeze. When Temari looked up, however, her expression was dazed and her eyes glazed over, as if she wasn't there.
"You know," she slurred, suddenly sounding drunk. "I can do many more things then make wind…" At that point, however, she apparently came back to her senses. She yipped and backed away.
"I'm sorry! I didn't know what came over me!" she apologized. Instead of getting an angry response or even a sexual response, he just smiled at her.
"Hmm…Matari was always known to be a wild one…" he stated. Temari relaxed.
"Umm…I don't suppose that you have a spare set of clothes, do you?" she asked. To her surprise, Naruto nodded.
"Actually, I do. It's in this scroll I carry around for girls." he said while pulling out a scroll labeled "Girls" from another, larger scroll called "Storage." Temari could only imagine how many things were in the scroll.
He tossed out a shirt and some jeans. "Here you go. The shirt might be a little baggy, but I think that the jeans will fit." Temari gathered the clothes and her discarded bra before heading behind the tree to get dressed.
She came out a minute later. "Let's go back to my teammates and explain what happened." Naruto nodded, albeit a little hesitantly. He knew that Gaara was on Temari's team, and he had no way of knowing if he was going to be attacked by the Jinchuriki or not.
Three minutes later, Gaara looked up and narrowed his eyes as Temari and Naruto arrived. Instantly, the sand started to swirl around him.
"Calm down Gaara, he's not here to hurt or attack us!" Temari exclaimed.
"Yea, I'm pretty sure that we have our two scrolls already, so I don't have a reason to fight you." Naruto explained. Gaara froze, as did his sand for a second, before it dropped back to the ground.
"I trust you for now Uzumaki. Mother decides that she doesn't want your blood." Gaara said.
"Dude, you've got to stop with the whole 'Mother' thing. Shukaku is a nice demon and all, but he's gone a little off the deep end because of a failed sealing attempt into the first Jinchuriki. And Shukaku is a guy, so calling him 'Mother' is totally inappropriate." Gaara blinked uncomprehendingly.
"Shukaku is mentally unstable, and you can go crazy too if you don't stop going around killing people because you need to feed its thirst for blood." Naruto clarified.
"But I need to kill them to prove my existence…" Gaara mumbled.
"Gaara, by killing others, you don't prove your existence. You prove your existence by helping others." Naruto retorted. "From the son of the Hokage to the son of the Kazekage, I tell you that people will only recognize you based on your most prominent feature; I'm the honorable son, you're the Ichibi Jinchuriki. However, by helping others, you can create a reputation of your own that truly proves your existence." Naruto reasoned.
"…" Gaara sat in a contemplative silence. Was there any truth behind his words?
"Anyway, an incident happened in the forest just now…" Naruto began as he described the battle with Han and onward. Gaara couldn't help but feel relieved that Han was dead. The guy was just…Gaara didn't even have a word to describe it.
As Naruto finished the tale, Gaara took one look at the still unconscious Daisuke before crushing him with sand.
"Oh, and Gaara," Naruto called as he got ready to rejoin his team. "If you want, my father can redo your seal so you can sleep." Gaara's eyes widened.
"…Thank you, Naruto." Gaara said. Temari and Kankuro looked at him in surprise. He sounded different and much friendlier than either of them could remember. Naruto simply smiled in return before jumping away.
"Temari, Kankuro, we have a scroll to get." Gaara said to them. They nodded and the trio jumped away.
Nagato jumped over Haku and landed an axe kick, sending her skidding away. He ducked under a right hook from Sasuke and palmed him away, into a tree. He then turned to Hinata, who finished the jutsu for a second jutsu.
"Water Style: Gunshot," she said as a small orb of water came flying at Nagato. He easily dodged it.
"Ice Style: Gale Force Winds!" Haku exclaimed, trying and succeeding in catching Nagato off guard. He froze over in a thick layer of ice. Haku looked in satisfaction until the Nagato inside the ice poofed into nonexistence.
"Shinra Tensei." she heard from behind her as she, Hinata and a recently recovered Sasuke were all thrown through the forest. They were all caught by a Naruto clone before they could land.
"Glad you could join us." Sasuke said while stretching and groaning thanks to a new bruise on his ribs.
"Glad I can make it…Shinra Tensei!" Naruto said as Nagato appeared. He watched, satisfied as his older brother was sent flying through the air, although Naruto knew that he could catch up easily with them.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu," Naruto called out for extra insurance as he sent a batch of five hundred clones to distract Nagato. He turned to his team.
"Guys, let's move. He's not going to be distracted by that for long." he commanded as the four jumped away.
Finally, after about four more hours, they reached the tower, much to their delight, as Sarutobi, Itachi and Kakashi had all been chasing them. They sighed in relief as Iruka came out of their scrolls and led them to their rooms.
Hey, they had four days left and were the first to arrive. Life was good.
Cut!
That was my second exams for you, with several different battles taking place at once. Good, bad, ok? Review on your thoughts for the story, or if you want a question answered, or just want to be a kindred soul and provide me with a review.
Seriously though, come on and review. My story is over 30,000 words long and this is the tenth installment…under 30 reviews isn't good.
Those thoughts aside, special thanks to redlox2, who leaves a review for every chapter. Thanks!
Oh, and for those who don't know, I have a new story out called "The Demon's Blessing." Check it out if you like Rinnegan or possibly Godlike Naruto.
Alright guys, until next time
