Team 7 was separated by a violent wind. But that proved useful for Naruto, as he found 2 dead Grass ninjas, who had a complete set of Scrolls with them. He took them. He then ran to the last place his team was at.
'Naruto. Summon my powers. Your heightened sense will prove useful' Kyuubi said Naruto nodded, transforming into his Hanyou form. He only had 1 chakra tail, but it was enough.
"West" He said, following their scents. He ran as fast as he could, before seeing Sakura fighting violently, and Sasuke was down, with a curse mark on his neck.
"SAKURA. Step Down" Naruto said. Sakura growled, before returnign to normal. Naruto charged at the Ninja, who simply managed tp place a chakra seal on top of his current seal, reverting Naruto's demonic chakra back.
"Impressive. Remember thy name. Orochimaru. Tell Sasuke that name, as I can guarentee you, he will seek me out for power" Orochimaru said, as he left. Naruto swore.
"He was the one who cursed Kyuubi to attack Konoha. That Bastard" Naruto said, as he slipped into a sleep.
He woke up some few hours later, when He saw Sakura had cut her hair, and was a bit bruised up. Sasuke was also up.
"Damn. I feel awful" Naruto said, stumbling to get up. He got up.
"Okay. I would like to know what happened, while we get to the tower" Naruto said. The three began to head to the tower.
"When you were knocked out, the Sound ninjas attacked. I cut my hair then, more caring about being a ninja, then a girl" Sakura said. Naruto sighed.
"I felt this power, after Lee, Shikimaru, Ino, and Chouji helped stave them off. We're lucky nobody took our scrolls" Sasuke said. Naruto nodded.
"This exam is beginning to really concern me. First Orochimaru, who gave you that curse, then his minions. I know. I have my ways to access this info. But there is more. He is one of the Legendary 3. No question, he is evil, and wants to control the Sharingan. That's why he marked you Sasuke. For control of the Sharingan" Naruto said. Sasuke paled at that thought.
Soon, they entered the tower. The placed their scrolls on the pedestal, and a summon was seen. It was actually one of the other Sanin, Jiraya.
"Jiraya-Sanin. What are you doing here?" Naruto asked. The semi-old man, Jiraya, chuckled.
"Well, my sensei, the Hokage requested that I come. We know you 3 had an encounter with Orochimaru. Unfortunately, I can't remove Sasuke's curse, but I can remove the seal he placed on top of you, Naruto" Jiraya said.
A few minutes later, Naruto had the fifth seal released.
"The fact you 3 have made it this far is a good thing. I'm here for a while, since I heard that Orochimaru was here. Anyways, I'll be around the village for a while. You know the normal areas to find me. I think it's time for 'That one Move' Naruto" Jiraya said. Jiraya then vanished.
"Are you serious?" Sakura asked. Naruto nodded.
"He wasn't joking" Naruto said. Sasuke was lost.
"Ummmm...what exactly are we talking about" Sasuke said. Naruto smirked.
"My father's special move. The Rasengan" Naruto said. He was smiling now, and for good reasons.
