Welcome back everyone. I had a bit of a time-skip here, but I couldn't force myself to write several months worth of an ANBU team doing D ranks and training. I hope you're not too upset, but if you are, the number to my complaint line is 1-800-GOFUCKYOURSELF (hah. See what I did there?)
I don't own a damn thing.

"Alright maggots listen up; I don't like repeating myself!" Yelled Anko as she stood in front of a large crowd of chunin candidates. "As you all know, I am the proctor of this exam. Each team will receive either a heaven or an earth scroll; you have 5 days to obtain both scrolls and make your way to the tower in the center of this forest. Any questions?"
A random genin then raised his hand "Why is this called the forest of death?"
Anko got an evil twinkle in her eye as she replied "Kid have you ever had a nightmare? Take the worst nightmare you ever had, multiply it by 10, and you've got this forest."
Said genin and his team, along with a few other teams were never seen again.
"Okay if there are no more pussies out there, sign these forms, and then 1 person from each team will come to this desk and trade 3 releases for 1 scroll."
"What are the forms for?" Shikamaru asked as they were being passed around.
"To release myself and Konoha from liability if any of you are, oh lets say maimed or killed or anything of that sort." Anko replied in a singsong voice.
"Troublesome. I qu- OW!" Shikamaru began but was cut off when Ino's fist impacted his head.
"Okay, everyone find a gate! The exam begins in 5 minutes!" Anko yelled out as the genin began to scatter.
XXXXXXXXXX
"What's the plan?" Sasuke asked as team 7 gathered at their gate.
"We've got 5 days to get to the tower, so we spend 3 days 'snake hunting' and then go straight to the tower. Of course I don't have to tell you that if you see him, don't engage. We're good but the 3 of us together couldn't beat him." Naruto answered, receiving 2 nods in the affirmative as a bell rang across the forest and the gates opened up.
Team 7 wasted no time leaping through the gate and into the trees.
"Hinata, check the area with your Byakugan. Kagebunshin no Jutsu." Naruto said as 20 clones appeared around him and took off through the forest, all with their Sharingan active.
Hinata activated her Byakugan and searched the area around them for a while before she cut it off. "I don't see anything within a mile besides some genin teams."
Naruto nodded and said "Okay, check every 10 minutes or so for any sign of him or the Oto team."
"Hai."
After several hours of looking, Naruto decided to start looking for somewhere to set up camp.
"Hinata, can you find us a cave nearby to use as a camp?"
"Hai. Byakugan." Hinata replied before scanning the area for a moment and changing their path towards a cave she found a couple miles away.
A few minutes into their travel towards the cave, Hinata waved the group to the ground as a team of genin from Kiri dropped into the clearing.
"Well well, looks like we found our scroll early on." Said one of the Kiri genin.
"Yea, if you just hand over your scroll we will let you live." Said another of the genin with a twisted grin on his face.
"How about this; turn around and leave now, and we'll forget about this incident. Stay, and they won't be able to identify your bodies." Naruto said in his ANBU captain voice.
"Looks like we'll have to do this the hard way." Said the first Kiri genin as they all dropped into their fighting stances.
Team 7 didn't bother to get in a stance, which pissed off the Kiri team.
"Are you not even going to fight back? Do you dare disrespect us?!" the first one yelled out as he began to do handseals. "Suiton: Teppodama!" he said as he fired off 3 softball sized water bullets towards team 7.
Naruto and Sasuke glanced at each other for a moment before they both began to do handseals. "Raiton: Jibashi!" Both called out at once as they fired off 2 large lightning bolts that combined into one massive bolt.
The large lightning bolt tore through the water bullets like it was nothing before hitting the Kiri genin and exploding in a flash of bluish-white light. When the light died down, all that remained of him was a smear on the ground.
"Want to reconsider our offer?" Naruto said calmly as the other 2 Kiri genin scowled at him.
"You killed Oyu! Like hell we'll let you go now!" Said the lone kunoichi of the group as they both lunged at team 7.
"Katon: Hosenka." Sasuke said as he inhaled a deep breath.
"Futon: Rasen Bofu." (Spiraling wind storm) Naruto said as he did the same.
"Moukaton: Kajiarashi no Jutsu!" (Inferno Release: Firestorm A/N different from canon 'Enton') Both boys said in unison as Sasuke spat out a volley of fireballs that got absorbed into Naruto's twister, making the small fireballs grow larger and burn hotter while lashing out in a large path in front of team 7.
The female Kiri genin quickly tried to defend herself with a water wall, but the firestorm burned right through it and killed her and her partner instantly.
"Foolish little bastards. We warned em." Sasuke said as he walked over and dug a scroll out of the kunoichi's ashes.
"Fuck this is the same one we already have." Sasuke said as he pitched the scroll to Naruto who stuck it in his pocket.

The next day
Team 7 woke up before the sun rose and set off on their search for Orochimaru once again, hoping to find him sleeping.
It wasn't meant to be, however, as they spent several hours searching with no results. Just as they were about to return to camp for a break, a giant snake crashed through a tree and into the group, causing them all to scatter.
"Hinata, go!" Naruto yelled as landed on a nearby tree. In a battle of the caliber, though she was strong, Hinata would only be a liability; which is why Naruto wanted to avoid the fight in the first place.
Hinata quickly followed Naruto's orders and leapt away from the scene in a blur, heading for the central tower.
"Kukuku SSSSassssuke-kun… I finally found you." Said the 'Kusa genin' that was standing atop the snake.
"Why are you here Orochimaru?" Naruto yelled out as he stared the man… thing… down.
"SSSimple really… I came to give Sssasssuke-kun a gift. Kukuku." Oro said as he leapt from the snakes head so fast the pair could barely follow him with their Sharingan on.
Sasuke threw up a block at the last second, but it did little good as the force from Oro's kick blasted him back through a tree anyways. Oro then rounded on Naruto with a sick smile on his face, before he reached up and literally tore his face off.
"What the fuck is he?" Naruto thought as he watched the man remove his face.
"Kukuku Naruto-kun, I didn't realize you had the Sssharingan too… I'll have to give you my gift as well." Oro said as he jumped back onto the snake before it lunged at Naruto.
"Shit! Kagebunshin no Jutsu!" Naruto yelled out as 3 clones appeared and slowed the snake down enough for him to dodge while doing handseals.
"Katon: Ao Karyuendan!" Naruto yelled out as he blasted a massive blue fire dragon at Orochimaru.
Oro and the snake had no trouble dodging the technique as it flew by them and well into the sky. "Well Naruto-kun. That is an impressssive jutsu you have there… if only you could aim it a bit better."
"Check again Hebi-pedo." Naruto said with a grin as Oro looked up to notice several dark storm clouds forming.
"Oh and what is the purpose of that?"
"Kirin!" Sasukes voice rang out before being drowned out by the sound of thunder as a bolt of lightning shot out of the clouds above and hit Orochimaru before the entire world turned white around them.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Hokage tower
"Hokage-sama there was the signal." Itachi said to Hiruzen as the pair looked out of Hiruzen's window as the large mass of blue fire shot up out of the forest of death.
"Let's move, quick! Neko, Akuma!" Hiruzen shouted as 2 ANBU came out of the shadows and the group took off towards the forest.
As they were leaping along the rooftops at breakneck pace, they noticed the storm clouds building over the forest, but just attributed them to the intense heat from Naruto's signal.
They thought that until an unnatural looking lightning bolt shot out of the cloud and exploded into the ground in a flash of white.
"Shit we need to hurry!" Hiruzen said as the group dug down and found a new level of speed.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
The white light died down to reveal pieces of snake blown all over the clearing, but no sign of Oro.
"Sasuke stay on guard, he's still here." Naruto said as he scanned the area with his Sharingan.
"Shit that was the best attack we have. I hope the backup gets here quick." Sasuke replied while doing his own scan.
All of a sudden, a fairly large white snake popped up out of the ground where Oro was when the attack hit, putting the 2 on guard. The snake then opened it's mouth extremely wide and… regurgitated Oro onto the ground.
"Kukuku that was quite the attack you have. Anyone besides me would have been killed." Oro said as he stood up and 'shed' his half-destroyed 'skin'.
"Bastard… You're not even human anymore…" Naruto said.
"You are correct Naruto-kun… I am beyond you mere mortals now." Oro said before turning his head towards the Hokage tower. "Well it seems someone is coming to ruin our fun. I was just getting warmed up too, damn."
Oro then extended his neck and shot his head towards Sasuke so fast that he didn't have a chance to move. The head wrapped around his torso 3 times before Oro reached his shoulder and sunk his fangs in… just as Sasuke disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
"Ahhhh!" Naruto yelled out as he felt Oro bite into him, mixing their chakras and forming the cursed seal on his shoulder. Naruto felt like liquid fire was running through his veins. He was sure that any minute he would die from it. Sadly though, the sweet blissfulness that is death wouldn't claim him.
"You're not Sasssuke-kun, but you'll do. I must take my leave now, your friends are…" That was all Naruto heard before he blacked out from the pain.
Naruto spent what felt like 10 years having the worst nightmares of his life, before he finally woke up. He could feel the vile chakra from Oro coursing through his veins, as well as the malevolent chakra of Kurama. It almost felt as if the 2 were fighting for dominance. But goddamn did he feel strong.
He finally willed his body to stand up, and noticed that Sasuke was outside of their shelter in a battle royale with a Kumo and Oto team, and he wasn't fairing well. He then noticed that Hinata was unconscious against a nearby tree. Oh hell no. He felt the power of the both of his warring chakras increase 10 fold, as every genin in the clearing, including Sasuke, froze in place. Some of them dropped to the ground and passed out while pissing themselves. 1 of them actually took a kunai out and buried it in his own brain from the killing intent that was radiating off of Naruto.
He stood up and walked outside of the cave, causing another two to take their own life when they saw Naruto's appearance.
He had elongated fangs and claws, and his whisker marks were more defined. He looked feral, and very fucking scary. Aside from the normal feral look he had black flame like markings covering most of his skin, and had a deep purpleish-red chakra shroud surrounding him with 3 tails waving behind it.
"Which one of you bastards hurt Hina-chan?" Naruto said in a demonic voice.
"I did! What are you gonna do about it?" Said the Oto genin in the yellow shirt with brown spiky hair.
"Zaku you fucking fool!" hissed the one wrapped in bandages.
"It's Orochimaru-sama's orders Dosu. We have to kill him or die trying."
"I'll take my chances fighting Orochimaru." Dosu said as he turned and leapt off towards the treeline.
He didn't make it 10 feet before there was a spray of blood from the place his right shoulder used to occupy. Everyone noticed Naruto holding said arm with his foot on Dosu's back, but he was also still standing in front of the cave.
"I never seen him make a shadow-" Sasuke thought as the 'Naruto' by the cave faded away. "After image? Shit he's fast."
"AHHH!" Screamed Dosu as he grabbed his bleeding 'stump' with his good arm, before his body was rocketed into the ground by Naruto, causing a large explosion.
"W-W-What the fuck are you?" Yelled out the Oto kunoichi.
"A nightmare." Naruto said before Zaku found both legs missing.
As Zaku lay on the ground screaming in pain, Naruto spoke over the shouts "Remove this fucking trash from my sight before I kill you too. Make sure he lives."
Kin didn't need to be told twice as she grabbed Zaku and leapt into the trees in a blur.
Naruto then turned towards Sasuke "Didn't I say fucking leave?"
"Naruto it's me, Sasuke!" Sasuke shouted as he started backing away in fear.
"Die." Naruto said as he blurred from existence and reappeared in front of Sasuke with a dark purple rasengan in hand.
"Osaeru Fuin!" Hiruzen's voice called out as he appeared between Naruto and Sasuke and drove his palm into Naruto's chest, blowing him back several feet.
Itachi, Yugao, and Zabuza dropped from the trees and surrounded Naruto as the chakra shroud faded away and he returned to normal.
"What… happened?" Naruto muttered out weakly.
"Goddamn snake. He marked you with his cursed seal and it, along with the Kyuubi, were influencing you." Hiruzen replied as he walked closer.
Sasuke, for his part, relieved his bladder and dropped to the ground in a cold sweat now that the adrenaline was gone. "He was only a second away from killing me… Holy fuck…"
"Sorry…" Naruto muttered out as he tried to sit back up. Hiruzen assisted him before turning to look at the cursed seal.
"Hmmm…" Hiruzen pondered out loud before he pulled out a scroll and unsealed a large scroll from it. He then unrolled the large scroll that had several sealing marks written on it and shifted Naruto's body onto it before starting a long series of hand seals. "Naruto-kun, be still; and this will hurt like a bitch. Fuja Hoin." Hiruzen said as the seals began to glow around Naruto before they receded onto Naruto's skin and formed a seal around the cursed seal, making Naruto scream in pain once again.
After a few seconds, the seal receded into Naruto's skin and he quit screaming, though he was breathing hard.
"One more time… Osaeru Kaifu." Hiruzen said as he stuck his palm to Naruto's chest and released the suppression seal.
As soon as the seal was released, the cursed seal glowed for just a moment while leaking purple chakra, before the glow stopped and a fountain of red chakra blasted out of the seal, causing Naruto to pass out.

Naruto's mindscape
"Fucking pathetic. You got marked by that damn snake and I had to save you again." Kurama growled out as he stared down at Naruto.
"I appreciate the help, fox. But don't talk down on me, you couldn't have done it if not for Jiji's help."
"I am the mightiest of demons! I didn't need that decrepit old bastards help for anything!" Kurama roared out.
When the fox insulted Hiruzen, Naruto's eyes unconsciously shifted to the Mangekyo again as he leveled a glare at said fox.
"There you go with those goddamned eyes again! I didn't mean any insult, he is fucking ancient by your standards!"
"Don't ever speak I'll of Jiji again, or your stay here will be a hell as my mindless slave." Naruto said as his Mangekyo began to rotate slowly, driving the point home.
"Grrr." Kurama replied as Naruto left his mindscape to find himself in the same spot he was before with Hiruzen looking over him.
"Naruto-kun, how did you destroy the seal?"
"Kurama did it." Naruto replied "When I first woke up earlier, I could feel the curse seal and Kurama fighting each other. When you suppressed the cursed seal he didn't have any problems negating it."
"I see… well this turned out much better than it could have. Hurry and get to the tower so we can check over you good." Hiruzen said as he and the 3 others shunshinned away.
"Sasuke, you okay?" Naruto asked.
"Yea… just a bit scared… or terrified."
"Sorry about that… the cursed seal was fucking with my head bad… the only person I could recognize was Hinata-chan."
"Don't worry about it, I know you wouldn't do anything like that."
Naruto, being the prankster that he is, flashed his eyes red for just a moment before leaning in close to Sasuke. "Wouldn't I?"
"Don't fuck with me right now!" Sasuke yelled out as he punched Naruto in the face and leapt on top of him, intent on beating him to death.
XXXXXXXXXX
Hinata POV
She had just woke up, and was still fairly disorientated. She saw Naruto and Sasuke several feet away.
"Don't… It… You… do…like that." Was what she heard before seeing Naruto lean in really close to Sasuke.
"Fuck… me… now!" she heard as she saw Sasuke knock Naruto back and pounce on top of him.
"EWWW FAGS!" She yelled as she turned away and puked a little bit.
"Huh?" Said Naruto and Sasuke at the same time.
"You were about to fuck! EWW!" She yelled back.
"No… I was killing Naruto because he's a dickhead." Sasuke said, still confused.
"But you said 'Fuck me now' and jumped on him?"
"No Hinata-chan, he said 'DON'T fuck WITH him RIGHT now'." Naruto added in.
"Oh… I'll be watching you two just in case…" Hinata said with uncertainty in her voice.
"Sigh. Did we get the scroll we needed from either of those teams that died?" Sasuke nodded affirmative. "Okay you two come hold on." Naruto said as he pulled a three pronged kunai out of his pocket and threw it high in the air towards the tower. "I've never tried to take more than just myself, hopefully it will work." Naruto said as team 7 disappeared in a flash of yellow light.

Hope you all enjoyed. Just to clarify some things, the first exam went pretty much the same as canon (minus loud Naruto's shouts), and the second exam did as well, except for Dosu's death. (well, as you seen it wasn't the same, but the results are the same as canon minus the Oto team.
Review reply:
Supervegitofan: I agree with you about the gender changing thing. I couldn't take a male character and make him a female, it's just not right. Haku though, I think Kishi was stoned when he made Haku. He is clearly a girl but Kishi just hit the bong one time too many and thought it would be funny to fuck with us.
