SON OF THOR

5: Screwing with Minds & Sadistically Fun Games

"I did, good sir," Naruto said, stepping forward, his hand resting on the handle of his hammer, "I wasn't aware that it was yours."

Ibiki narrowed his eyes and glared down at the blonde before grumbling, "You've earned yourself the pleasure of taking the first number, punk. I'll admit, it was kind of ballsy of you to step forward like that though."

"Thank you," the young Asgardian replied with a smirk. He took the first number and sat down in the direct center of the first row, as per the arrangements. Naruto remained silent as he took a glance around him, noting the lack of décor on the room's walls. He then noticed the stack of papers on the other desk in front of him, and a groan came from his throat.

A pale skinned blonde on his left nudged him in the arm and he turned to look at her. She was a Kumo shinobi, based on her headband, and her face had a feline build to it. Her green eyes narrowed at him before she hissed, "Keep your displeasure to yourself, rookie."

"Aye, methinks ye have me village confused with another," Naruto whispered back, turning his attention forward again, "Tis a free land here, one can voice his displeasures."

"Smartass," the girl snapped back. Her unease in being in an alien environment was evident in her actions. The attractive blonde next to her didn't help with her biju's 'need' being voiced every three seconds.

Naruto snickered, unknowing as to how he got such a good comeback to the girl's words. A figure sat beside him, turning his attention from the Kumo kunoichi to the newcomer. A smile crossed the God of Thunder's face and he greeted the girl quietly, "Ohayo Hinata-chan. Fancy meeting you here."

"K-Konichiwa, Naruto-kun," Hinata greeted back shyly as she felt her blush increase tenfold and started to fiddle with her fingers.

Naruto smiled at the strange girl before relaxing back in his chair. A moment later, Naruto felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned to see the face of Sabaku no Temari, who smiled slightly at him.

"Hey handsome," she greeted with a small smile, "Small world."

"Not really," Naruto replied with a small grin, "But still a pleasure to be seated near yet another beautiful maiden such as you, Temari-chan."

"Well, well, punk," Ibiki said as the last of the genin went to take his seat in the back, "Been a while since I've seen a ladies man like you at an exam."

"A what?" Naruto repeated in confusion as he looked ahead at the proctor. The black clad man shook his head in disbelief before he addressed the room as a whole.

"Alright you maggots!" Ibiki shouted, making everyone sit up straight in their seats, "Keep your traps shut, cuz I'm only saying this once! The first exam is a written test of knowledge. There are nine written response questions, the tenth will be given by me after forty-five minutes has passed. There are a few stipulations, though. If you get caught cheating five times, you fail! Every team starts with thirty points, for each cheat noticed you lose six points. If one member of the team fails, you all fail! Tests are face down on your desks. BEGIN!"

The sound of papers flipping over before pencils started scribbling everywhere was loud, but nothing Naruto couldn't block out. The test's hidden assignment was easy as day to see through; Ibiki had given them a limit as to how many times they could cheat, not once had he said they couldn't cheat. After thanking his Mother and Father for heightening his observation skills, Naruto wondered how he would get the answers when he recalled a spell Heimdall had given him and a small smile crossed his face. He took a deep breath before chanting in Asgardian, "Hear me, Oh Guardian of the Rainbow! Assist me in this quest and one favor I shall owe!"

The blonde Asgardian was unaware of the strange looks he was getting from those near him. His words were a foreign language, but he understood them all too well. He silently thanked Heimdall when he opened his eyes and saw his own face in the third person, his normally electric blue irises glowing golden as Heimdall lent him his eyesight.

Naruto's attention went to the boy with veins popping out around his eyes. He was writing furiously and Naruto managed to get all of the answers from him easily enough. He went back to look at his own body, slightly disturbed and fascinated to see himself writing the answers down as he stared blankly ahead. When he had finished and answered all of the questions, Naruto silently thanked the Guardian again before he closed his eyes and slumped forward, dead to the world while recovering from the risky spell.

Minutes passed before Naruto regained consciousness. He sat up and rubbed his eyes, pulling Hi-ishi out to look at them in the reflection of the sleek Uru metal. The demigod put his hammer back at his side, not noticing the wide eyes on the cat-like girl on his left. She had read texts concerning the hammer the boy wielded, believing them to be only myths of the earliest settlers of Kumogakure. If that was what she thought it was, she had to alert the Raikage immediately.

Naruto flipped his paper over and sighed out of boredom as he rested his head in his hands. The demigod silently wished something would happen to cure his boredom. A whisper in his head suddenly made the boy brighten and a grin appear on his face. The head examiner had his eyes focused on someone he was yelling at to get out otherwise he would have seen the gleam in the electric blue eyes of the boy right in front of him. Naruto held a half-ram seal in one hand, subconsciously noticing one of the chunin examiners marking something on their clipboard, and whispered another spell, "Time is short, day is long, have the mortal Ibiki sing and dance this song..."

Ibiki felt a glaze come over his mind, causing it to fog before he suddenly threw both of his arms out, hands flat down. He knew it was a genjutsu, but for some reason couldn't break it. His mouth was moving and his voice was speaking, no, singing foreign words against his will. The head of ANBU I&T had never felt more humiliated in his life! Trapped in his mind while his body sang and danced to some song called 'Mock-Arena' (Macarena). The genin testing and the other chunin examiners stared at him in disbelief save for a few. A Oto genin wearing a hetai-ite similar to the Nidaime's was holding his stomach as he laughed and a kunoichi with long black hair wearing a Kusa headband was giggling into her hand; the Inuzuka heir was pounding his fist on the table; an Kumo kunoichi with red hair was laughing aloud; and the damned blonde right in front of him was lip-singing the words he was singing with a smile, revealing it was he that had entranced him.

Ibiki continued to sing and dance until forty five minutes had passed and Naruto released the spell. No sooner had he done so did the head examiner slam his hands in front of the smirking blonde and snarled, "I'm going to get you for that..."

"But you're such a good dancer, Ibiki-san," the boy replied with a smile. Ibiki merely growled again before pushing back to a standing position and looked over all the smirking and snickering genin with a furious glare.

"Is something funny?" he asked in a deadly quiet voice promising pain while releasing his killing intent. The genin all silenced and he smirked, "That's what I thought. Now...forty-five minutes have passed so it's time for the tenth exam. Before I give the last question though, I should warn you; Answer incorrectly and you will remain a genin for the rest of your life!"

A collective "WHAT!" accompanied with shocked faces crossed the genin, making Ibiki smile even more. A Suna kunoichi behind the shit stain, as he deemed the blonde jinchuriki that hypnotized him, stood and exclaimed, "You can't do that!"

"Oh but I can!" Ibiki lied with a smirk, "You see, all of your Kage's signed agreements to allow me to keep whoever I want back. Basically, your fate rests in my hands...unless you quit now and try again next time."

As the Suna kunoichi sat down with confusion written on her face, he elaborated, "Simply raise your hand and you forfeit the exam...well, you forfeit your team too, but that's your problem. Any takers?"

Immediately four hands, none of which belonged to the same team, shot up. Chunin examiners called out the seated genin's numbers along with their respective teammates. Some cried, some snarled in outrage, and some simply waited until they left the room to take the forfeiters down. More hands slowly shot up from around the room, causing the numbers to drop from a large two-hundred-something genin to barely one hundred. From her spot in the back, Haruno Sakura struggled with herself on whether she should forfeit or not.

If I do give up, Sasuke-kun will have to suffer for another year* until we can try again, she thought. Her inner voice, Ayane as she named her, spoke up, Yeah! But Naruto and Sasuke-kun can handle whatever problems we come up against with no problem if we continue! Naruto-baka would be in the same position as me, though! We'd be nothing but dead weight if we continued as we were! Um, Hello! Have you seen what Naruto-kun can do? He's got a freaking battle hammer that smashes walls with a single swing! Remember that training exercise against Kakashi-sensei where he used a type of electricity attack! Kakashi-sensei formed a clone and took him aside for some special training after that, remember? Oh yeah...

Meanwhile, up front, Naruto was frowning. His mother had taught him that no matter what, a leader wouldn't risk something that could diminish his/her country's ability to defend itself, something his father confirmed during a lesson in battle strategy. The blonde God of Thunder crossed his arms over his chest as he thought over what Ibiki said.

It had to be an empty threat, Naruto mused, Even if Sarutobi-jiji-baka did sign something like that, the Council would stand against it and demand the paper would be torn up. Other villages would be in the same position, this is definitely a bluff!

"Hold your ground, friends!" Naruto said, standing from his seat with his hammer in his clenched hand, his narrowed eyes locked on the head examiner as the (hopefully) final forfeiting team left the room. Ibiki returned the look with a blank one crossed with curiosity and slight anger, most likely from his prank, before Naruto continued, "No leader in his right mind, be they King, Queen, Kage or otherwise, would chance diminishing their fighting forces. Your words are nothing to scoff at...be they true. You have a silver tongue my Uncle must have granted upon you, long before he switched his ways, and I shall not stand for it. I am Naruto Thor'sson and I never surrender! Especially not to lying fools such as yourself!"

Ibiki mentally swore profanity after profanity at the blonde as many in the room regained hope and courage to take the final question. The Hyuuga girl that was about to crack under his gaze now had a glimmer of hope in her eyes, and her shaky hand that started to rise rested atop her desk as her will held strong. The I&T head smirked as even more sat up straighter in their seats before he looked back at the blonde. With a small sign of admiration in his eyes, Ibiki thought, So the Yondaime's heir proves himself...and here I thought the prankster was all talk. He might just be a very good Hokage if he makes it that far.

"Guess we'll see if you're right, punk," Ibiki replied before looking back at the class, "Final time I'm gonna ask; Anyone else want to give up?"

Naruto also turned and held his hammer tighter and spoke again, "If any still have doubts, the words he speak are nothing more than lies. No one man should have the power over the future of a foreign nation! Hold strong!"

Ibiki bit back a smile before looking at the chunin, many of whom were looking at the blonde with shock and awe, and looked back at the room saying, "Well...I guess I have nothing better than to pass you."

Before Naruto could say anything else he whipped his head back to Ibiki with wide eyes, "Ibiki say what?"

"Ya gave a good speech kid, sit down and I'll explain," the examiner said with a smile. Naruto nodded dumbly and sat down, confusion written on his features. Ibiki laughed quietly at all of the confusion on the genin's faces before he spoke again, "The main point of this exam was to test your information gathering skills under pressure. The ones that failed obviously needed more practice."

"But what about the tenth question?" Yamanaka Ino asked as she spoke up, "I mean...what is it exactly?"

"The tenth question was a test of your camaraderie, bravery and leadership skills," Ibiki explained as he started undoing his headband. Once he had finished, many of the Rookie 9 had gone green, save for Sasuke and Naruto, both of whom seeing worse. There were holes, scars, and even burns on the scarred man's scalp, making it slightly grotesque for many who looked upon it. After relishing in their disgusted faces, Ibiki continued, "Information is the most vital treasure anyone could obtain. Many will do whatever they can to get it, like threatening your friends and family, or even yourself. By staying in the room you showed you not only cared for your teammates, but you'd be willing to sacrifice your future for them. Hence, I say again, you all pass."

While many absorbed the reply the examiner had given them, Ibiki noticed a black blur approaching through the window and sighed. He stepped back as the blur crashed through the window and two kunai impaled themselves in the ceiling with a black banner dangling from it, written in white was, 'Presenting the Second Test Examiner: The Sexy and Single Mitarashi Anko!' and in front of it was a scantily dressed woman. She had purple hair done up in a pineapple-like ponytail and wore a fishnet shirt that revealed her impressive assets to the world underneath a tan trench coat and above a rust-colored skirt. She had ANBU grade shin guards over her sandals and a sadistic grin on her face.

"All right maggots lets-Huh?" Anko stopped in her own speech as she counted the remaining genin before rounding on the scarred man, "Ibiki-chan! You let almost one hundred gaki through? Someone's getting old, eh?"

"Oh shut up, Anko," Ibiki sighed out, "Can't you feel the tension? You're early."

"She can be early all she wants! She's fuckin hot!" Kiba shouted from the back of the room, many boys nodding their heads in agreement, Naruto and Sasuke being among the few that nodded their heads slightly, trying to remain inconspicuous. Anko rounded on the group with a grin.

"I don't know who said that, but I will find out and when I do..." She started before a snake bit onto a drooling chunin examiner's crotch, causing the man to scream in pain before falling to the floor, unconscious. Anko grinned again as the many boys paled and covered themselves, Naruto being among the few that didn't. He did wince as a phantom pain from training with Hogun back in Asgard came to the forefront of his mind.

"Well, you get the idea," Anko said with a shrug before smiling again, "Ok, Gaki, follow me to the second exam! Anyone fifteen minutes late fails!"

She leapt out the window, many boys struggling to get up without whacking their 'problems' against the desks they tried to free themselves from. Naruto waited for Sasuke, who had a slight flush on his face, and Sakura, who seemed depressed over something, before he smashed a gaping hole in the wall with Hi-ishi and they leapt through it. The rest of the genin following shortly after them.

After the teams who arrived on time made it, those late were instantly failed and sent away from the exam training ground. Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura looked up at the gate around the large forest with wide eyes. Many teams followed their example.

"I don't recall this training ground," Naruto muttered. The other two members of Team 7 nodded in agreement with his statement. Anko smiled at their awed looks and mentally counted to three before a roar echoed from the forest. Sasuke and Sakura took a step back in surprise while the blonde grinned and his hammer left his waist to his hand, electricity crackling around it.

"Now that sounds fun!" he shouted eagerly, earning looks of surprise from many of the genin also startled by the roar. Anko laughed, earning all of the attention, before grinning.

"Glad you think that now," she said to the blond that shouldered his battle hammer with an eager gleam in his eyes, "Because this is known as the most dangerous training ground to all the Jonin in Konohagakure, me notwithstanding. It's known officially as training ground 44, but unofficially it's called The Forest of Death. There's tigers the size of elephants, immense insects, and even a few uncharted man eating plants in there, I think. The base of this exam is to obtain two scrolls," as she said this she held two scrolls out, one with the kanji for Earth and another for the kanji for Heaven, "Earth and Heaven. You will start with one, random of course, and earn another one by fighting another group for theirs. Oh, but first you've gotta sign these."

Some Chunin began passing papers out, many signing their names as soon as they got them. TenTen, concerned as soon as she read the paper in her hand, suddenly exclaimed, "This is a life or death waiver!"

"Well duh," Anko said while many of those that signed instantly paled. Noticing this, Anko grinned and continued, "Geez, you all act like we're stupid enough to send most of you to your deaths and let your country try to pin the blame on us. Well, this way they can't!"

While Naruto signed, he allowed a small smirk to cover his face as he spoke softly to himself, "Please...my teachers would kick my ass if I arrived home because I fell in battle against a mortal. This will be easy."

No sooner had the words left his mouth did a kunai fly past his cheek and cut along one of his whiskers. A weight became evident on his body and Naruto grunted softly as Anko smirked and wrapped her arms around his neck. The blonde demigod flushed red when he felt the woman press her assets into his back and whispered hotly into his ear, "I love when overconfident gaki like you go into the forest. You never come out and your sweet blood is donated to people who need it more than you...like me!"

After saying that, she slowly licked the blood off his cheek, creeping out and arousing the boy. Many girls that had seen the blonde glared at the older woman in jealousy of being so close to the attractive demigod while most boys shuddered even further in fear. Attacking the jewels are one thing, but licking blood afterwards...that's so not right.

Before Anko could release the aroused teen in her grasp, a taller kunoichi leaned over her and her insanely long tongue held out the kunai. Naruto was disgusted by the tongue, but the disgust faded quickly as Anko pressed herself against him again. The purple haired kunoichi smirked and took the kunai with the snarky comment of, "Thanks, but don't sneak up on people like that. It'll get ya killed."

"Of course," the kunoichi replied with a smirk, "I couldn't help myself, you sliced off my beloved hair and the boy's blood just got me so...excited."

"Understandable," Anko said, hugging the blonde to her again, this time openly choking him, "If I could I'd keep him all to myself! He's so cute and cuddly and his blood is devine!"

"Let...me...GO!" Naruto shouted; sick of being held around the neck like a toy and tapping into his true strength, sending those around him back five feet with the explosion of wind and lightning. As the twister died down, Naruto took in some deep breathes before finally having recomposed himself. He handed his paper in to a chunin examiner, gaping at him in shock, before returning to his team and entering a tent where Sasuke received a scroll and a number for their gate.

As they stood outside of their gate, Anko reappeared hugging the demigod again. Naruto scowled in anger and reached for his hammer, stopping as a kunai appeared at his neck. Anko grinned and spoke softly to him again, "Ya got guts, kiddo. But be sure I'll get you back for knocking me on my ass."

"Seems as though you enjoy being knocked around like a common slut," Naruto shot back with a growl as his eyes narrowed and lightning danced across them. Anko's sadistic grin widened and she pressed the tip of her kunai into his neck as her pupil-less hazel eyes narrowed in anger.

"You're pushing your luck, gaki," she whispered, "But I like that. I'll be watching you."

Anko vanished back to the main testing room and spoke into the microphone, sending her voice to many of the teams outside their gates, "There's a few rules I forgot to mention! Don't open your scroll until you receive both and are at the Tower or else. You have five days to complete this exam, I saw a Akimichi and didn't wanna deal with his whining. Oh, and anyone that brings me a vial of the blood of my favorite blonde gaki from Konoha gets a bonus."

Naruto groaned while his two teammates scowled. That made them a main target, and against twenty-something teams that was definitely bad. Before the buzzer went off, Anko gave one last helpful piece of advice, "One more thing: Just Don't Die!"

The buzzer sounded and the genin all stormed into the forest. Teams found a safe area to plan while many planned on the move. The Kumo team being one as such. A dark skinned boy with white hair sighed as his red-haired counterpart argued with their team's captain as they ran along the forest floor.

"Geez Yugito, you make it seem like he's actually holding Mjolnir!" the girl said. Yugito, the milky white skinned girl on the team that had sat next to Naruto during the first exam, looked back in annoyance at her teammate.

"I said it looked like Mjolnir, Karui," Yugito deadpanned. Ignoring the snort of disbelief, she looked over at their male teammate and said, "Is he nearby, Omoi?"

Omoi sighed at being brought into the conversation before nodding. There were just some times he hated being a sensory type ninja. Yugito nodded back before looking at Karui, "You and Omoi will deal with the Uchiha and the pinkette. If that is Mjolnir, and from what we saw at the beginning of the exam, I think it is, I might have to go Two Tailed to beat him."

"Then we take the hammer?" Karui asked, still skeptical of what it was. Omoi spoke up suddenly.

"I wouldn't," he said, "Mjolnir can only be carried by those it deems worthy. If that guy picked it up, only he can hold it. We'd be better off trying to take him back to the Raikage."

"If he believes the message you sent via Owl," Karui pointed out. Yugito shook her head and they leapt up to the trees. The girl groaned as he Biju made itself known.

"I still say you should rape his fine ass," a feminine feline-like voice purred. The pale Kumo genin shook her head and looked forward. She had a mission to complete and a warrior to return to her home.

AN: What would Kumo know about Mjolnir? Why is Yugito intent on getting Naruto back to Kumo and not obsessed with getting a Byakugan? And what about Naruto's team, will they get through the exam without being attacked by teams targeting them due to Anko's challenge? Only the next chapter will answer the questions!
