Exam two: Orochimaru.

Naki glanced around then walked to the Hokage Tower. She entered quickly and the old man looked at her, then smiled from his place on his desk.

"Come, Sit down." He said, pointing to the seat in front of him. Naki bowed and did as told; her one brown eye scanned the room once before going to the old man. He nodded quietly then sighed. "Do you know why you are here?" asked the Hokage.

"…I……do slightly." replied Naki.

"You and I are the only to know of your families death, and lives...You and I also know your families deep secrets. I know how you feel toward your team, I know you think something might happen. For what is happening, you will need to put your trust in them. Trust them, and help them. Don't be like you were last time…" he whispered. Naki's face turned to an enraged look, one like the time she was on the card.

"My family died in a manner I don't want falling upon my companions. If I trust them, their deaths will come…painfully and slowly." Said Naki. The Hokage nodded.

"I understand, but I also called you here for this." Said the elder man. He turned in his chair and pulled a small box out that was a purple outlined in gold. He handed it to her, who opened it…and looked at it in confusion, her face changing out of it's Original angry look to that of her normal look around her team. The man nodded. "Your family would want you to have that." He said standing. Naki nodded and looked at the time, causing the old man to smile. "It's fine, I made sure to make it so you'd be on time." said the Hokage. Naki pocketed the object and bowed, then left. "think of what I said Nakimetsume…"

Naki ran across the large field, stopping in front of Anko, the Examiner.

"Hey. Do you know where my team is?" asked Naki.

"Naki right? Hokage-sama told me about it. They are lined up at gate 12." Said Anko. Naki nodded and gave her thanks then ran off to gate 12, which was only a couple meters off. Naki stopped next to Naruto and took a breather.

"Sorry about that. Hokage-Sama took his wonderful time bugging me about stuff that needed no prodding." Said Naki in an exaggerating manner. Anko nodded at her watch and put a thumb up to Naki, who put hers up in response. Anko rose her hand…and slammed it down.

"Start!" she shouted and the gates slammed open, allowing all the Genin to enter the Dark forest. As they leaped foreword, they stopped in a large opening. Naki looked around cautiously. After walking for about…a minute screams echoed loudly. Naki sighed, rubbing her temples.

"Sasuke-san. I'm leaving to go scout." Naki knew Sasuke would have trouble telling her and an enemy apart. She walked over, whispering something in his ear then walking off, completely disappearing after walking for about two feet. She quickly skid to the left off a large tree branch then charged foreword. With a quick snarl, she ripped foreword, meeting Huganmatsu. He blinked in surprise.

"You found me fast Naki-chan!" said Hugan. Her face was turned to an emotion filled rage. Her face it's original scowl. She put her hand out in front of her and put it so the finger tips went upward, like a claw. She turned in downward and slammed it downward, causing the floor to crumble into a mess of leaves and wood. Hugan looked confused. "Why did you go and waste your Chakra to show me that?" asked Hugan, glancing at the girls claw shaped hand, which had electricity surrounding it.

"It's showing you the nearness of your death." Naki glare hatefully. Her hand was soon surrounded in gold electricity, pulsing angrily. "Time to die Hugan…time to die…" Naki's anger scowl turned into a evil smile. "What killed my family..." she whispered somethings, Naki went through rapid unknown handseals that exist only through her family. When she finish, her evil smile twisted into something much more sinister. Hugan didn't have much time; He blinked, and then next found… himself headless.

---

Naki grunted, picking at her nails. Something stained them, so she was cleaning them by the river. "That's funny. I told Sasuke-san I would meet them here in 3 and a half hours…it's been 4." She muttered in an annoyed manner. "Should I go get them…?" she asked herself. She shrugged and nodded to herself. She found herself…worried. Her mind was telling her she cared, her heart told her she cared…but she refused it herself.

"I can't…" she whispered to herself. She then pushed herself to go faster, her legs hitting the ground harder. A loud noise echoed off the branches. She jumped into the water, muttering something. She landed on top of the water, electricity shooting out of the bottom of her feet, then she charged foreword, faster. Naki pulled the scythe out, her feet hitting the ground even faster. She skid to a stop where she had left her allies. …the place was…empty? She found a splotch of blood of the ground, two Kunai stuck on a branch behind her. She touched the blood; it was caked onto each other but seemed relatively newly shed. She walked around for a couple of minutes, then hearing feet contacting with branches she ran in that direction. When she got there, she noticed a worn out Sasuke, breathing in and out heavily, Sakura beside him. Naki let a breath she didn't know she was holding out. she looked for Naruto, not finding him she started to panic…then calmed herself and looked at someone stringed to a tree. Naki walked up the tree to where Sasuke was and breathed out loudly.

"Na-Naki!" said Sakura.

"Ya, I got worried." Said Naki, smiling. "I'm glad to see you all u-…." Naki looked to Sasuke's bleeding leg. She bent down in front of him, about to heal it but he put a hand up.

"Save…your Chakra." He said breathlessly. Naki had a brief moment of worry passing on her face before nodding and standing. She heard…snaps…she turned and stepped back in surprise. The man who had been…burnt out of what she had seen was walking toward them, another layer of skin under the layer he was wearing. Naki got in a fighting stance. Sasuke placed a hand on her shoulder. "Don't. You are no match for him." Said Sasuke. Naki sighed.

"So? I told you I had a bad feeling. Well…hey, can't say I didn't warn you. She lowered her stance, her eyes glaring. "You look familiar…" she whispered. The man smiled evilly.

"…I know you…I remember you well, young Prodigy." Replied the man.

"Orochimaru!" snarled Naki. Sasuke looked at her in confusion.

"Young Prodigy? Her grades were average, if not worse." Thought Sakura. Naki glared hatefully at the man.

"Is that anyway to look at me?" asked Orochimaru. Naki glared still, hard and angry.

"Sorry Sasuke….I don't think I'll get to drag you to the Ramen shop after this after all…pity, I was so looking foreword to it." she muttered.

"What do you mean?" asked Sasuke.

"I want you and Sakura-san, to find Naruto-san and run." Said Naki.

"…Are you mad?" asked Sakura. "Your going to get yourself killed!" shouted Sakura.

"…That's not what I care about. My family died, I felt useless when it happened…just like you Sasuke-san. But…what killed my family is what hurt me even more. Maybe, you guys can get awa-"How very touching girl, but I don't have time for this. My new retainer is behind you." Said Orochimaru. "GO!" shouted Naki. Sakura looked at Naki, then grabbed Sasuke's hand and started dragging him.

"Sakura! What are you doing?!" shouted Sasuke.

"Sakura-san's right Sasuke-san! If you get away now you have a chance." said Naki. Sakura dragged Sasuke farther. Orochimaru went to go after, but a fast body slammed into him. He glared at the small girl. "Your fight it with me!" shouted Naki. Orochimaru aimed a punch; she dodge, as expected then he unexpectedly faked a kick, and tried to punch her side. But he failed to notice her left eye, open and wide. Her gold eye glared at him, easily dodging and kicking out her left to trip him. He jumped, avoiding her legs then she lifted her knee up, all while aiming a punch to his face. Orochimaru narrowly dodged, but when he landed, her knee flung out, effectively knocking him off the branch they were on. He quickly landed on his feet, then leaped back up, to find Naki not there. She appeared behind him, and she put her hands together, forming a large fist and slamming the man down to the ground. When she landed, the mud clone turned back to mud, and the real Orochimaru burst out from the ground, aiming a punch at the girl who barley dodged. "His speed matches mine if not faster!" she thought dangerously. It went on like this for a while, dodging, occasionally getting hit, and trying to hit him and fail. Her chakra was starting to run thin after what she did to Huganmatsu. Orochimaru kneed Naki in the chin, causing her to go flying upward, and he long kicked her back down, causing her to break the branch and fall down several before slamming into one of the bottom, spurting blood out of her mouth, she hacked in pain, spurting the blood all over the floor. Orochimaru then landed, slamming onto her back while she was coughing. She fell down in her blood, spurting more out. Orochimaru touched the blood, grinning widely.

"Ready to give up, young prodigy?" asked Orochimaru. A Shuriken slashed Orochimaru's cheek, causing him to look to Sasuke.

"What are you…" she stopped to cough. "…Doing here! I told you to run!" screamed Naki. Sasuke's Sharingan flared, and Orochimaru grinned widely, his head bursting foreword and biting Sasuke's neck. Naki's eyes widen, and her gold eye spun quickly, before fading to a yellow…then to a dark yellow, then the Chakra disappeared, causing her left eye to turn back to its normal pure black. She cursed. "I can only hold Kuroshin for so long, it eats my Chakra like a monster." She thought, coughing more blood up. Sasuke's scream of agony brought her out of her thoughts. She crawled toward Sasuke, all while looking for Orochimaru. She didn't spot the snake-like man so she poked Sasuke gently. "Sasuke?" she asked softly. He fell to his knees, yelling in pain. She looked for Sakura, but didn't find her anywhere. "Sasuke!" said Naki, shaking the boy. He grabbed her hand, squeezing it. she couldn't help but yelp, for the landing on her hand had not been soft. The most she felt was her ribs…but Sasuke seemed he himself was in pain. Naki looked around for Sakura again, then carefully tried to lift Sasuke up, only for her herself to scream in agony. She fell back down, smart enough to land on her side and not her ribs. Sasuke tumbled down next to her, who squeezed her hand harder. "Sakura-san!" shouted Naki in joy. Sakura, who had Naruto on her back, smiled at the girl.

"Sasuke-kun!" shouted Sakura, running faster to the boy.

"Sakura-san don't touch him. He's in great agony right now." Said Naki. Naki's free hand wandered to where he was holding his neck. Her fingers pushed his hands away. She looked the mark over then blackish red Chakra flared around her hand. She attempted to heal the Tattoo like seal but failed miserably. Sasuke had gone limp, meaning he had fallen asleep. "Sakura-san, Find Anko-chan and tell her Naki had sent you, tell…" Naki took the time to cough. "Tell her Orochimaru is here." Said Naki. Sakura looked at her in confusion.

"But you…and Sasuke-kun!" shouted Sakura.

"…we will be fine. I've got one last trick up my sleeve even my family itself can't beat." Said Naki. Sakura gave her a worried look.

"But…"

"Sakura! I need your help! I broke two ribs, I can't move very far. You're the only one who can do this! Please Sakura…" asked Naki. Sakura nodded, a look of determination in her eyes. She gently put Naruto down and ran toward the gate exit, which wasn't far from their current location. Naki nodded. "Be safe." Naki carried Sasuke and Naruto to a small cave like tree's under roots. She looked at Naruto, who looked mostly uninjured. She rubbed her forehead. Right after, Hugan's two allies appeared in front of her. She glared angrily at them. "Leave me alone…" whispered Naki.

"You killed Hugan-san!" shouted Remi.

"….Do I look that dead to you?" Hugan's body was there, the head in his hand, talking. Naki sweatdropped.

"…yep…so not dead…" she muttered.

"That hurt by the way." Said Hugan, placing his head on his neck. Naki stood weakly.

"Ready to die?" asked Remi. Naki glared.

"Naki!" screamed Sakura. Naki looked at saw Sakura coming toward her.

"Where's Anko?" asked Naki.

"She's not there!" shouted Sakura. Naki cursed. Sakura looked to the ninja's.

"…Sakura…I hate to do this but I require your help to destroy the enemies." Said Naki. Sakura nodded.

---

Sakura, bruised and battered laid on the ground, her hair short, for she had cut it before time when it had snagged in Remi's fist. Beforehand, Zaku, Kin, and Dosu had come to aid them as well. Naki, she was against a tree, a Kunai sticking out of her stomach. Naki's eyes turned to Sakura, who presently was being kicked. Naki pouted.

"Well…I find this unfair…" she thought to herself. She gripped the Kunai and pulled it out painfully grunting. She aimed, and while Remi had not been paying attention it slashed her arm, causing her to yell in pain and turn to the grinning brown haired girl. She stood and her scythe was grabbed from it's place on the tree. She stood in a stance, ready to fight. Remi stopped her kicking and raised to punch Naki when a familiar voice echoed above them.

"Sakura, Naki who did this to you?" he demanded.

"…the none important people Sasuke…-san…" she whispered, looking to the boy, his body covered in tattoo's purple chakra flaring angrily.

"…Answer me specifically!" he snarled. She unconsciously stepped back in fear, a repulsive scent fled into her nose, and she hardened her stance.

"We did it. Got a problem about it Uchiha?" asked Remi. He turned to them, and disaster occurred, the tattoo's spread across his face, and he charged, stabbing Remi in the stomach with a Kunai, then kicking it deep into her, then charging to Zaku, ripping his arms out of their sockets completely. Naki grunted and looked to Sakura who looked frozen in fear.

"Sakura…do something!" shouted Naki over to Sakura. Sakura looked at Naki in confusion. Usually…she was calm, she looked fearful and fragile…maybe even weak. "SAKURA! Do something! He could kill us all! My body's snapped! I can't move!" shouted Naki. Sakura nodded, she tackled Sasuke to the ground, whimpering for him to stop. He growled at her, and the tattoo's retreated. Naki sighed in relief. Dosu looked to Zaku and put down his scroll and ran off, the other sounds followed, Hugan winking before leaving. Naki smiled at her scythe, letting go of it, as soon as she did she fell on the ground tired. She then noticed the approaching figure and grabbed her scythe, standing again. She held the scythe out, glaring at the approaching human. Kabuto appeared from the darkness, he waved. "Wha-…ohh! Kabuto-san!" said Naki, slamming her scythe on the ground.

"I heard from a little birdie you all needed some help getting another scroll." Said Kabuto. Naki looked to Naruto and walked over to him, using her scythe as a cane. She nudged Naruto with her foot, which caused him to mutter many random things before grabbing her foot.

"Sakura-san…some help… please." Begged Naki. Sakura nodded and rushed over to the troubled girl.

---

Naki tossed a rock carelessly over the water, watching Naruto attempt to catch some fish. Kabuto sat beside her, curious.

"What are you doing Naki-kun?" he asked.

"…being bored." She replied dully, her eyes looked…so focused on the water.

"Mind if I ask you some questions?" he asks.

"Sure, for those cards right? Ask away." She said simply.

"Do you live with your sister?" he asks.

"…yep, and a brother, a mom a dad, a whole happy family." She said, smiling widely. Kabuto nodded silently.

"Just as I thought…she would lie." He thought to himself deeply.

Naki stared in horror, her mom's arm hanging from the top of the broken door, impaled there as if she ran away and got it snagged on the sharp point it was impaled on. The whole door was caked in blood…Naki's eyes were full of fear, terror. Naki dared herself, and entered the room, following the red paw prints into the house. She looked inside, the body of…what she supposed was a human, on the floor in a bloody heap. The limbs were in different places, horribly chewed to pieces. She looked around then yelled out.

"DAD!" she screamed out, looking for her father. She trudged into the bathroom, the bathtub, full of blood instead of water, a body laying limply in it. her horror stricken face gained a more tired look and she turned, screaming in fear and horror. She ran quickly through the house and heard crying. A sign of hope appeared on her face and she went into her older sister's room, seeing an older brown haired woman on the ground crying.

"…nee-san!" cried Naki, walking toward her older sister. The woman burst into a bigger fit of cries, thinking Naki of the monster that had just ripped her family to shreds in front of her very own eyes.

"Get away you beast! Monster! Horrendous, Hideous monster!! I'll kill you before me!" screamed the woman, shakily picking up a blade from her side and thrusting it at the girl in front of her. Naki fearfully stood still, her body frozen. The sword slashed her shoulder before falling uselessly to the floor. "I won't let you kill me beast!" Her sister shakily raised the kunai knife from her other side and while her brain was jumbled, stabbed herself right above the heart, barley missing it. She screamed in agony and Naki fearfully stared at her sister.

"Nee-san? Nee-san!!!" screamed Naki.

Naki unconsciously touched her upper shoulder. "Shout, scream in agony, throw me a disguise…I'm still a monster in everyone's eyes…" Naki quietly whispered to herself. Kabuto looked to her.

"Did you say something?" he asked.

"No…nothing…" said Naki standing up and smiling reassuringly. "Lets get those Scrolls."
