The wave team was walking back to the building where the exams were being held. Ino wore her light blue armor with a white headband with the wave symbol around her waist. She also had the dark blue cape of the wave ninja. Lee wore his bear outfit proudly with his blue cape. Naruto on the other hand had a red pair of clothes, nothing special but he wore his father's cape and extra pouches full of the special kunai.

"Ahh I remember this place, this was where we were the first time" Naruto said aloud

"Ya, Naruto, it's the same place, hey wasn't this the place that you met Lee?"" Ino added

"Yes, this was where we first met, and I also beat the uchiha around the place" Lee said proudly

"Hahahahah I remember that, it was hilarious watching sasuke think he was all high and mighty because of the sharingan, Lee showed him though" Naruto said through laughs

Yea, well I missed all that Vulcan whined from Naruto's head.

"Well lets go and not be late" Ino said dragging them through the doors even though they had time to spare.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

First Room

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

They were walking down the hall to the room where the examination was going to take place and Naruto saw that they had the same trick of putting up a genjutsu on the door of a room on the second floor. They were surprised to see that there was even more people trying to get into the door than last time. And what was even more surprising was that Kakashi and Gai were poorly disguised and guarding the door. Gai was doing all the work by letting them run into him. While he stood shouting a whole lot of random things about youth and all. Kakashi was leaning against the door reading his familiar orange books.

Naruto started to laugh put Lee quickly grabbed him and ran ahead up the stairs followed by Ino.

Ami was in the other room with her team and saw that Naruto went up the stairs and told her team to follow her. The lightning team wasn't there so they were guessing that they had already been through or were late.

"Well I guess sasuke remembers this thing" Naruto said as they entered the room to see only a few teams, probably 15 judging from a quick count. Everyone looked at Naruto and were completely surprised because he looked like the Yondaime Hokage not to mention he had a phoenix on his head. Sakura wanted to scream out about him insulting their hokage.

"Naruto what do you think you are doing wearing that cape?" sakura demanded

"I shouldn't even answer you" Naruto said taking a seat

"You better or else this will result in a fight" sasuke said

"Why is that?" Naruto said having fun bothering them.

"You are disrespecting the greatest ninja of konoha, you of all people shouldn't be wearing that cape, you don't deserve it and are no where near his power, let alone sasuke's" sakura said aloud so that everyone could hear

"Well Sakura and Uchiha, I am going to wear this cape whether you like it or not" Naruto said not really giving a shit about them.

"Fool" sasuke said as he got frustrated

Ino elbowed naruto so that this wouldn't escalate into a fight and result in their disqualification.

"Fine fine, I don't think that you leaf punks should even hear this but I am only going to because Ino is making me and so I wont have to inform anyone else that is unlucky enough to meet me in the exam."

The tension was gathering very quickly in the room. Everyone was leaning closer and not speaking because they wanted to know why somebody who got thrown out of their village comes back insulting their greatest hero Naruto just smiled and rocked back in his chair.

"For everyone out there, I don't care who it is but listen closely. I have all the right in the world to wear this cape. Especially since it was given to me by the yondaime and by his orders I was to wear it."

"Sure I bet you made that up" sasuke said trying to put Naruto down even though it wasn't working because naruto had just pulled out a kunai and was twirling it on his finger. If anyone had seen the special kunai of the yondaime they would have recognized this one easily.

Naruto continued to twirl the kunai silently while Ino and lee looked on.

"Well the yondaime just happens to be my father" Naruto said causing everyone to gasp especially the rock team.

"Naruto you are the biggest liar I have ever met" sakura said laughing

"I'll bet you made that up just so you would get attention" sasuke said

"Want to bet on it?" Naruto said smirking as he threw the kunai with not much force so that everyone could see it.

Time seemed to slow as everyone watched the kunai edge closer to sasuke. When it was finally within his range sasuke raised his arm and moved to grab the kunai out of the air. As soon as he touched it naruto appeared before him with his arm reared back and a yellow outline around him and his cape. Time returned to normal speed as they saw naruto punch sasuke in the face and send him across the floor. He flew back and hit a desk braking it in half and finally stopped at the wall. He got back up after gaining his bearings and just stared at Naruto

"Still need convincing?" Naruto said with his arms crossed and looking straight ahead.

Just then a puff of smoke erupted in the front of the room and the examiners had arrived. Ibiki surveyed the room and sighed.

"Naruto will you stop beating up the uchiha" Ibiki said as Naruto smiled and returned to his seat. Sakura went and picked up sasuke off the floor and helped him sit.

"I guess Ibiki is doing it again?" Ino said

"Yea, I would have thought him too old by now" Naruto said snickering

"You know brat I can here you" Ibiki said looking right at Naruto who cowered and then found the spot in front of him very fascinating.

"Sorry ibiki?" Naruto said waving causing a few other gennin to snicker at the blatant disrespect.

Nice Vulcan snickered as he flew back to naruto's head

"Well lets get started" Ibiki said as he threw a kunai at Naruto's desk. Naruto knew that it was time to get serious. Ibiki read the rules and started the test. It went on for a while that everyone was freaking out because of the rules and conditions of the exam but those who had taken it before were trying to act normal and actually think of the answers. Naruto was just waving his pencil around and having a staring contest with Ibiki.

Ibiki looked away and cursed causing Naruto to close his eyes and laugh silently. Naruto knew that he won because Ibiki had to continue with the exam.

"Ok time... Ibiki continued but Naruto just tuned him out and fell asleep.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Only a few teams left so there was only 11 teams remaining even though it was nothing compared to when they took it last time.. Naruto figured that there would only be 5 left for the prelims and then the finals. The second exam was actually pretty effective because it guaranteed a decrease by half. "Man whoever thought of this exam sure knew what he was doing" Naruto thought to himself.

After Ibiki finished and revealed his scars to everyone and began informing them about information gathering and its importance on a mission. Naruto however got up and walked to the window and opened it causing everyone to look at him very confused except the examiners who smacked themselves upon the head and laughed slightly.

Sure enough ha few seconds later Anko came bursting through the window and unraveled her banner.

"Hey how come the window didn't break?" Anko said aloud looking around. She kept inspecting the class then she saw Naruto and grinned

"Hey brat, here to screw up my exam again?"

"Not this time Anko-chan" Naruto chimed

"O well punk lets get going, everyone meet me at Training area 44" Anko said and let them to the area.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Training Area 44 The Forest of Death

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Ok brats sign these waver forms so we aren't responsible for anything that happens in there. Remember this is an exam" Anko said before everyone got their wavers and scrolls and separated to their respected gates.

Naruto was holding Ino's hand and pretty much tuning everyone else out while he talked with kyuubi about the other jinchurriki and their demons, gathering info on the demons in particular.

"Ok Begin" Anko screamed out

Naruto stood there before Ino came and smacked him in the back of the head and Naruto quickly cut the link between him and the kyuubi.

"Sorry Ino, Kyuubi wanted to talk about something" Naruto said as he took off with them into the forest. They traveled for about a minute before Naruto had them stop.

"Why did we stop naruto?" Ino asked confused

"Hey Lee, do you think that you could find out where any other teams are by searching through the ground and maybe the trees if you can?" Naruto asked

"That's a great idea, I am sure I can" Lee said and took up a meditative position on a pillar of earth that arose. He sat there and closed his eyes. The sand and dirt around him began to swirl in a slight motion forming a circle around him.

"Well lets leave him to that" Ino said Dragging naruto off to a tree.

"Let me get a fox to keep guard" Naruto said

Why do you need a fox I am right here, you got me Vulcan whined feeling left out

"Vulcan you aren't much in the way of scouting, stick to breathing fire and burning things" Ino commanded

But you don't need to go and waste your chakra on a fox

"Vulcan I am getting a fox because you would fall asleep at every chance you get" Naruto said

Vulcan made a sound that was somewhat like a laugh and then complied

You're probably right there.

Naruto smiled and summoned a fox. The small yellow two tailed fox looked around and sniffed before looking at Naruto.

What do you need Naruto-sama?

"Just to keep watch for a few minutes while I talk with Ino." Naruto said politely . The fox nodded and laid down near Lee. Vulcan frowned as best a phoenix could and went to sleep.

Naruto and Ino sat up in a tree. Naruto was seated behind her and had his arms around Ino's waist.

"Hey Ino" Naruto said as he lay his head on her shoulder.

"If things get too hot or bloody, I want you to leave back to the wave" Naruto said

Ino sighed "Naruto, you know I can take of myself, right?"

"Yes but what happens if somehow the other demons get released?" Naruto pointed out

"Well then I will be right there next to you fighting them." Ino said confidently

"Ok, I didn't think I would convince you otherwise" Naruto admitted

"besides I have enough chakra stored in this seal the I can summon Levi if something bad happens. At least with him I can escape" Ino said referring to the seal on her left wrist.

"That makes me feel a lot better." Naruto said

"Naruto, Ino I am finished come on down" Lee called as he stretched from, his sitting. Naruto and Ino quickly jumped down and the fox jumped on Naruto's shoulder and laid back down.

"Well it seems that the rock and lightning teams have joined together and are fighting. One team from mist seems to have already been defeated, I lost the signal of one while I was searching so they might have died. Whoever did it wasn't showing any mercy."

"Well we better avoid them till the prelims, when Ami would be safe" Naruto said

"Why is that?" Ino asked confused just as much as Lee.

"Because she is also hated for having a demon inside her. And she overheard that they were going to kill her after the exams and the invasion because she was getting too powerful"

"Wow no wonder she wants to get away" Lee said. Thinking about Ami and how he was developing a crush on her.

"Well is there any one independent team close to here?" Ino asked

"Yea to the west, seems that once they came in the forest then made a camp and stayed there."

"Probably going to wait for the fifth day to start and get everyone while they are tired" Ino suggested

"Probably not, they would need to hurry, what if someone finishes before them, remember there is one extra team. They could wind up out there and the exam would be over" Naruto corrected.

"Good point" Ino said sticking her tongue out at Naruto.

"Well lets head to them and hope they got the scroll we need" Lee said taking point.

"Aww man, I forgot about the two different scrolls" Naruto whined causing Vulcan to wake up

"Well lets hope it's the right one Naruto" Ino said

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX2 hours later

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The mist team were traveling through the trees at a leisurely pace. They were hoping on taking their time and making it to the tower and find some team that was all worn out and take their scrolls.

Naruto jumped down from the tree and landed on the branch that one of the mist ninja stood on. He grabbed the ninja's hands before he could even react and twisted them around his back so that he couldn't move at all. Naruto picked him up and jumped to the floor with him yelling and struggling the whole time. Their teammates reacted quickly and drew a kunai and jumped towards naruto and their captured teammate.

Lee jumped from the trees and pushed the one ninja to the ground. As soon as he landed a sphere of earth rose and trapped him. The ninja struggled for a second and tried to break free but could not.

Ino kicked her opponent into a tree. He got back up surprisingly quick and tossed a few kunai which she dodged and left int the tree behind her. He did a few handseals before yelling out Hidden Mist jutsu

Ino smiled, her opponent didn't count on her being a water expert. He appeared behind Ino with a kunai and cut her across the back. Ino melted into a water clone. The mist ninja looked around. One direction to the other and couldn't find her anywhere. Ino walked up right behind him and tapped him on the shoulder and then ducked. The ninja swung his arm backwards hoping to hit her but Ino landed a fierce uppercut to his jaws, knocking him right out. She then made a single handseal and let the mist sink back to the ground.

When it cleared Lee was finishing tying up his man and Naruto was walking over with his knocked out.

"Hey Lee, didn't Ino tell us that we were the ones not supposed to drag out the capture?" Naruto asked already knowing the answer and he just wanted to torment Ino.

"I think you are right, we finished ours quickly and she took forever and even made it fun" Lee said while finishing tying up his guy and standing up dusting off.

"Well I found the scroll on my guy" Naruto said giving it to Ino.

"Alright, it's the one we needed" Ino exclaimed

"More scrolls?" Lee asked

"Nah we can let the rest fight it out, remember no one sees this part of the exam.

"Good, I didn't feel like sitting in this forest too long, it gives me the creeps" Ino said as she took off into the trees leading the way. Naruto and Lee quickly followed

"Well should we try and lower the numbers or just go to the tower?" Lee asked

"I say we scout out the other people, it will let us know their abilities and see who makes it" Naruto said eagerly.

"No lets go to the tower, all you want to do is fight them anyway Naruto" Ino said

"I know but that damn uchiha and even the rock bastards" Naruto said getting a little angry.

"Well at least fight them in the arena where others will see, we did come here to make a name anyway didn't we?" Ino said

"Alright to the tower" Naruto complied as they changed directions and made it to the tower.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

After a few minutes of traveling Vulcan told them to stop.

"What is it Vulcan?" Lee inquired looking around

I smell something burning

The fox raised its head and sniffed. I smell blood as well, lots of it

"Should we check it out?" Naruto asked

"Of course, maybe its Ami" Ino said

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Random clearing

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The wave team approached slowly for fear of being caught. They crept along the top of the trees. You would never know they were there unless you saw them. They made no noise and a scent that would need a better than normal human nose to detect. The poked their heads through and looked down.

There was a grass team there surrounded by the rock and lightning teams. One of the grass team member was knocked out and the other was unconscious and bleeding heavily. The last teammate was a girl that was standing to protect her teammates even though she apparently only had one usable arm and plenty of cuts and bruises.

"Stop getting up already, we are still going to kill you" Kenta said. He was about 6' 2" and stood with the standard lightning village uniform except for his shirt. It was a bright yellow which counteracted his dark pants. He had a pair of fingerless gloves and a kunai holster on his right arm. His black hair was cut very short and his headband was proudly across his forehead. He held an air of confidence, naruto figured it was he who held the 6-tailed demon.

The grass kunoichi stood defiantly and held her ground.

Ami looked saddened and stepped forward "leave her alone already, they have given us their scroll and their teammates is going to die soon" she pleaded

Jack and Rizu, who were Ami's teammates stepped and grabbed Ami on each arm and pulled her back.

Kenta looked back to Ami. "You too are defying me?"

"Yes, there is no need to fight her any more, leave her be, she has already given you their scroll." Ami shouted.

When the wave team heard this they were disgusted because Kenta was doing this for pleasure instead of getting a scroll. They all silently looked at each other and all got the same message. 'Help them if needed'

Kenta stood looking at Ami and then appeared in front of her with amazing speed and backhanded her right out of the grasp of her teammates. Jack and Rizu looked appalled.

"We're through with you, enough of your damn games" Jack said aloud. Jack wore a pair of brown pants and black boots. His torso was covered by a brown vest that had a multitude of pockets and zippers. His headband was around his left arm.

"What are you fools going to do?" Kenta said laughing

"Stop you at least" Jack exclaimed

"Pssh like that will happen" Kenta said laughing a little harder now

"Or we could tell the leaf" Rizu said thanking the gods that he though of something. Rizu was a shady character. They couldn't tell what he was wearing because he had a cloak on that covered his face and entire body.

"If you do I will personally kill you" Kenta threatened

"Then leave them alone, as well as us finish the damn exam yourself" Rizu said as he turned and tended to Ami, who was crying and had her knees pulled up to her chest.

"Come on Ami, we're leaving" Rizu said as he pulled Ami up and put her arm around his shoulders.

"You think that you can just walk away from this" Takara said. He looked just like his other teammate, Nobu. They both wore dark yellow vests over a black long sleeve shirt. Their pants stretched to their ankles and had nothing on them. There was a kunai pouch on their left and right hip though.

"Exactly, its way too late for this, you are already involved with the invasion not to mention one of the key parts." Kenta said with his voice rising evidence of his rising anger.

"Well either way we are out" Rizu exclaimed still happy

"Whatever lets just finish off these grass weaklings" Takara said as he quickly drew a kunai and tossed it to one of the downed ninja. The grass kunoichi hesitated for a moment because she wasn't paying attention. The kunai streaked towards her teammate and she freaked because she couldn't stop it.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Up in the trees

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Shit we gotta help them" Lee said moving a little.

"No wait, someones coming" Naruto said stopping Lee

"Are you sure?" Ino asked

"Yes trust me"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

A smokescreen soon filled the area making everyone cover thier eyes and try not to inhale it.

Kenta yelled in frustration and did a wind jutsu that cleared the smoke away. When it was done the grass ninja were no where to be found.

"Damn it you rock asses" Kenta screamed and charged them with his fist reared back.

He got ready to hit Ami again but Jack kicked Kenta aside into a tree

"I thought we told you bastards that we were done" Jack said voice dripping with anger.

"You really think..." Takara started

"You can handle us" Nobu finished as they both started running and Kenta joined them

Jack and Rizu took up defensive stances in front of Ami

The look-alikes went after Rizu who switched very fast from his defensive to a charging run. He struck both of them in the chest and knocked them back although they were still on their feet.

Jack however wasn't having as good of luck. Kenta had ducked under Jack's attack and delivered a chakra enhanced strike to his shoulder and had disabled Jack's left arm. Jack was bleeding from the wound and panting from his blood loss.

"Time to die rock traitors" Kenta said beginning a jutsu.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Should we help them?" Lee asked wanting to help very bad.

"If kenta goes for a kill yes immediately" Ino stated

"Lee give Vulcan your weights" Naruto commanded. Lee looked at Naruto like he did gai at the exams. He then took them off hastily and waited, his legs aching for speed.

"Lee you go first, I'll be your back up, and Ino will be mine. Try not to use your earth skills yet"

"Alright" Lee replied never taking his eyes of the conflict.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Rizu noticed that jack was getting his ass beat and knew he had to do something because the look-alikes weren't a pushover.

Kenta finished and shouted Lightning strike the clouds turned black and a bolt of lightning struck Jack. When it cleared there was a burnt log.

"Nice move jack" Rizu called dodging a punch from Nobu and kicking back Takara.

"Will you shut up" Kenta screamed frustrated at the situation

"Whats the matter, thought we were pushovers?" Rizu teased

"I will kill you" Kenta screamed anger pouring of him.

Rizu charged Nobu and Takara and threw two kunai as the spearhead of his attack. He then did handseals. Rock dome he continued his string of handseals Strike of the Bear as the kunai zoomed to their targets the earth all around them curled up making no way out. A bear made of earth rose up and ran following the kunai. Nobu and Takara looked to each other and nodded.

They turned so that they were touching each other on the shoulders. They did the same seals and yelled Strike of the Thunderbird

Lightning seemed to rise from their feet and work its way up to their heads surprisingly fast. Then a ball of lightning formed in the middle of them and then shout out at a tremendous speed in the form of a bird with a flowing tail. The kunai were batted away and the bird continued to towards the bear.

Rizu smiled under his cloak and put his hands together almost as if praying and waited. The thunderbird crashed into the bear and dust and smoke was thrown up into the air. When it cleared the bear was still standing but was obviously hurt from the attack. It had a huge burn mark on its chest and lots of cracks. The bear looked towards the twins who were now charging with a fist of lightning. The bear braced itself on all fours and roared right into them. The roar suspended them in mid air and blew their clothes back. Dust and leaves were flying everywhere

The twins faltered for a moment but made it to the bear. Their fists struck simultaneously and the bear shattered. However, what happened next surprised them even more. Rizu attacked from the bear's shadow and sliced Nobu across the chest badly and Takara along the right arm.

They both stammered back and Nobu fell down from the wound on his chest. Takara stumbled and tried to flex his arm but to no avail.

"Damn it you two, you couldn't take care of him" kenta screamed

"Nope" Rizu replied with the same happy voice he had from the beginning.

"Was I talking to you" Kenta yelled at Rizu who just looked at him.

Jack finally succumbed to the womb and fell to the floor and fainted.

"Hah, now you finally lose" kenta said as he charged jack Rizu looked on still smiling and threw a kunai at kenta's path. Kenta cursed under his breath but looked to takara and nodded. Takara started running towards jack while kenta switched and ran towards Rizu.

"Exactly what I planned" Rizu said smiling.

"Shut up, I didn't think I would have to use my demon's power on such a weakling but you aren't that weak" Kenta said as yellow chakra began to pour off him. Takara neared jack and was about to deliver the final blow with a kunai when jack turned over and launched a kunai that hit Takara in the shoulder near the neck, putting him out of this battle.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"I guess we might not be needed after all" Ino said still serious

"Maybe not, but now we got a jinchurriki to deal with" Naruto pointed out as if they never saw it

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Kenta charged rizu with newfound speed and agility although rizu was able to block and doge, even though he couldn't launch an offensive. He punched at rizu but he blocked it with his elbow crashing down into the fist. Kenta growled and lashed out again with the other hand except this time it was flowing with lightning. Rizu fell to the ground and swiped his hand across it and brought it back up to block. Earth and rock followed the hand from the ground and stood strong against the lightning punch. All the lightning was absorbed into the ground and the fist stopped.

"I am really going to kill you know" kenta exclaimed

"O really"

"Yea I have been playing around but time to get serious"

he charged and rizu got into a stance waiting but kenta disappeared and rizu was knocked back into a tree. As soon as he hit the tree, kenta crashed into him and even more dirt was thrown into the air as well as a stray bolt of lightning.

When it finally settled rizu was sunk into the base of the tree and his arm was bent backwards obviously broken. He tried to get up but found that his nervous system was scrambled from some sort of lightning attack.

"I told you that it was pointless" kenta bragged as the demon resided.

"Well you won" rizu said angering kenta that he was still happy

"Time to die" kenta said again and threw a flurry of shuriken that raced towards him. Rizu accepted the inevitable and closed his eyes waiting for the attack.

Rizu heard a loud 'crack' and opened his eyes to see a green and brown figure standing in front of him with a large branch that all of the shuriken were sticking out of.

"I was wondering if you guys were going to help" Rizu said laughing a little.

"What do you fools want" kenta said

"You have your scrolls, there is no need to harm them at all" Lee stated

"But there is another reason that you do not know, that he must be killed for" kenta shot back

"Well what reason would that be?"

"Like I would tell you" kenta said surprised at the question

"An invasion on the leaf" rizu said from his position in the tree

"Damn you Rizu!!!!!!!" kenta screamed and threw more kunai that embedded in the branch again

"Well that is your business and not ours, if and when that attack comes that is your priority and has nothing to do with us"

"Then why are you helping this weakling and team?"

"Because we are trying to create an alliance with rock"

"You lie"

"Believe what you want" lee responded still holding the large branch in his hands

"Well this is getting us no where and I cant have you going and telling the leaf about this plan so I must kill you as well" Kenta said and started to gather the demon's chakra again. He dropped into a unknown stance and charged, lee dropped the branch and ran towards kenta.

Kenta swung but only hit air, Lee however had dodged the punch and nailed kenta in the stomach knocking the wind out of him and almost breaking his rib cage completely. Kenta stumbled and then fell on the floor. Lee stood over him.

"I suggest you leave now" lee said

"LEE, THERE YOU ARE!!!" Naruto yelled as he and Ino dropped onto a branch surrounding them

"Sorry guys" lee said quietly

"Whats going on here" Ino faked

"Nothing, we were just leaving" Kenta said and sighed not wanting to take on all three members at once. He got up and picked up both teammates and ran off, the whole while lee had his eyes on him

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Ino saw over Rizu healing his nervous system with jack and ami laying next to them.

"Well thanks guys, like I told Lee I was wondering when you guys were going to do something" Rizu said with his eyes closed as Ino worked on him

"You mean you detected us?" Naruto asked

"Yea, although I felt you through the trees" rizu explained

"What?" naruto asked completely confused

" I am skilled in using and feeling the earth, I can feel even the slightest of vibrations was carried top the ground through the trees"

"O well that is very useful, but why do you wear the cloak" Naruto asked

"Naruto" Ino scolded as she elbowed him

"No its alright, I get this a lot , we were it because it's a part of my clan's tradition that's all, See" Rizu said as he pulled down his hood. He had blood red hair and a scar down his left cheek. His eyes were a vibrant green that continued to flow around his pupil.

"Wow, that was unexpected, but nice eyes, is it a bloodline?" Ino asked

"Sorta, this is just the mark of my clan"

"O, well they are still cool" naruto said

"There we go all done, I fixed the nervous mess but I cant do anything about the arm, when you make it to the tower I will get granny to fix it up" Naruto said as he stretched a little.

"Who?" Rizu asked confused

"He means the hokage" Lee said

"Wow, he says that to the hokage and gets away with it?"

"Well I wouldn't say get away, but she lets him live" Ino said laughing

"Well thats the funniest thing I have heard all day" Rizu said chuckling

"So do you think you can make it to the tower?" Ino asked

"Yea, we got both scrolls and even If I cant use this arm I can make some mud clones" rizu said as he stood up and flexed his one arm and didn't even try to use his other one. He concentrated and then 3 mud clones rose up and the all flexed both hands.

"See there you go, good as new and besides I can avoid anybody from their slightest of movements"

"Ok well hope to see you at the tower and preliminaries" Naruto said as he waved and then turned to the forest

"I will see you there" Rizu said as he and his clones picked up his downed teammates.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The wave team was traveling through the forest with Vulcan flying beside them. He had given lee back his weights and lee whined for a moment because he liked not having them on.

"Well I think that there was more to his eyes than feeling and hearing the vibrations of the earth." Lee said

"Yea you're probably right he did feel like he was keeping something from us, but hey I would have too"

"Got a point there" Ino added

"Well we ready to show off the power of wave?" naruto asked

"YEAAA" lee yelled

"Of course" ino said proudly

Hey let me out when you get there brat, I've been cramped in here too long

"Haha fine" Naruto said to himself and Ino and lee looked at him.

"Kyuubi?" they asked simultaneously

"Yea, he's already whining" Naruto said laughing and the team arrived at the tower.
