Back with Anko
The teams of genin were all stood in front of a gate, "And…" Anko started, the genins all got ready to run, a determined look on their face "Start!" and with that the gate opened and the genins quickly ran in, Anko replaced herself with a clone and quickly went into position, changing into her Hunter outfit on the way.
2 hours later
Team 7 were fighting some snake freak and they were all tired as their foe was strong, Team 8 and 10 were also there as they were all nearby. Another gust of wind suddenly knocked them back, hitting the trees behind them, before they fell onto their knees. Orochimaru stretched his neck towards Sasuke and was about to bite him when a shuriken flew out of nowhere towards his uncovered neck, making the sannin quickly retract it and everyone turned to their right where they saw someone appear on the tree's branch, it was a Hunter Nin.
"What is a hunter Nin doing here?" Orochimaru demanded as he glared at the ninja
"Orochimaru, you are sentenced to death for re-entering the village after being banished" he said coldly, ignoring the man's question.
"Why you little" he sneered and started attacking him.
While they were fighting the others teams watched in awe
"He's really good" Izuna commented
"He should be, he is a hunter Nin after all" Kiba said
"But he's not just any hunter Nin," Shikamaru started "he's Ookami, the youngest to ever be one and the 3rd most powerful" the others looked at the Nin in shock and saw that it was true when they spotted the tattoo of a snarling wolf on his stop right arm.
"But how did he know what was happening?" Naruto said
"It's most like the fact that they have been scouting the place for Orochimaru" he sighed "troublesome"
Suddenly they saw a shower of snakes heading towards them at an alarming rate, the genins didn't have anytime to escape, Sakura screamed as they all closed their eyes and covered their heads, waiting for the pain that was definitely going to happen, but after sometime nothing happened, the group slowly opened their eyes to see three other Hunter Nins in front of them, their arms raised and they could see why when they looked over their shoulders and saw a shield protecting them, the Hunter Nins lowered their arms and the shield shattered like glass.
"It's about time you three got here" Ookami said as he dodged another snake aimed at him
"Sorry but we had to take care of some sound Nins that attacked us" the one with the tattoo of a snake coiling around their arm said, they were obviously a girl judging by their voice.
"So what do you want us to do?" the one with the bear tattoo asked
"I want serpent and crocodile to the genins to the tower while bear and I will fight the sannin" Ookami said, the people mentioned nodded as Bear sprung into action and started fight the sannin besides him.
"Ok you lot, follow us" Crocodile said and with that he jumped through the trees, the genins following behind with Snake at the rear.
"Oh no you don't" Orochimaru yelled angrily as he ran towards the group, but then jumped away when Ookami brought his sword down on him.
"You're not getting away that easily" Ookami said as he ran forward, sword ready to strike, Bear was doing the same thing.
In the tower with the Yondaime and Sarutobi along with several ninjas
The group had just watched what had happened through the crystal ball and they all sighed in relief when they saw they Hunters arrive on time to stop the sannin from biting Sasuke.
"It's a good thing Ookami arrived on time" Minato said in a relieved tone.
"What should we do now?" Kakashi asked
"I want you, Kurenai and Asuma to greet your teams while the rest of us will sort everything else out" the three said person nodded and disappeared "ok, we believe that there is going to be a war coming our way" he said seriously
"What makes you say that?" Genma asked
"Jiraiya's network have found out that the Sand has been allied with Sound" Sarutobi said
"Then they betrayed us" a random Jounin said
"Not quite, in fact, one of Jiraiya's spies has found the body of their Kazekage, who seems to have died a week before" Minato said, the ninjas started murmuring to each other before quieting down again "the people in Suna doesn't know about this yet"
"So it means that Suna is being led by an impostor and they don't know about it" Hayate said as he coughed
"That's right"
"So what do we do?" Raidou (minus the scar) asked
"We'll start making the plan along with the council members; it's likely that the invasion will occur during the third exam" Sarutobi said
"It seems that Orochimaru has gotten away" Minato suddenly commented drawing them back towards the crystal ball just in time to see the sannin sink into the ground, but the occupants in the room did see a lot of blood on the man's clothes, they saw the Hunter Nins nod towards each other before disappearing, Bear in a swirl of water and Ookami in a flurry of black feathers.
"It seems that they managed to at least badly injure the sannin, which is a feat in itself" Aoba commented
"Yes, he isn't the 3rd ranked Hunter for nothing" he said proudly
With Kakashi and Co
The three jounins waited for the genins to arrive, which they did a few minutes later, the Hunter Nins weren't with them.
"Glad that you all made it through" Kakashi said as he smiled, his eye turned into a crescent shape.
"Why are you three here sensei?" Sakura asked
"We're here to tell you lot that you pass" Asuma said
"But we didn't get another scroll" Ino protested
"We know but the Hokage allowed it," Kurenai said "this is to make sure that nothing else bad happens"
"You mean with the paedophile of a snake going after Sasuke and me?" Izuna asked
"That's exactly the reason, it seems that he's after the Sharingan" Kakashi said seriously
"Why would he want to have the Sharingan?" Naruto asked
"That's an S-class secret" Asuma said seriously "now we'll take you all to your rooms to rest up"
