A/N I'm on a roll two chapter's in two days Hell yeah
Last Time
"Congratulation's you all pass" said Ibiki
"But sir what was the tenth question?" asked Sakura
"Choosing to stay or leave was the tenth question; the exam itself was to gather information as ninja are often given these jobs. It is vital to the success of the mission that the ninja is not caught, but if he is then he won't abandon his comrades to the enemy" said Ibiki suddenly a woman dressed in a tan trench coat flew through the windows.
"Ibiki you're to easy on them, oh well I'll weed out more than half of them" said the woman she wore a black t-shirt with a fishnet shirt over that, fishnet leggings with a black mini-skirt. Her Purple hair was tied into a ponytail behind her head so that it stuck out spiked.
"Anko you're early once again" said an annoyed Ibiki who shook his head looking at the rather attractive woman before him.
***
"Well then I guess I'll do the interdictions I'm Anko and I'll be your second instructor today. Now follow me you worthless group of maggots we're going to forest 44 for the next part of the exam" said Anko disappearing in a puff of smoke.
Everyone in the room left and headed to the training ground that she had told them to meet her at.
Upon arriving there they saw her waiting for them
"Alright you gaggle of maggots listen up I'm gonna give you each a scroll your objective is to get the opposite scroll from another team" said Anko handing each team a scroll.
"Alright we've got a Heaven Scroll, so that mean's we'll need an Earth Scroll" said Kiba as he gave Hinata the scroll.
"Now then the rules are simple you will have a week to find the opposite scroll to the one you've got. Do not under any circumstances open the scroll until you get to the tower in the middle of the forest. You will not be allowed admittance to the tower without both scrolls so good luck" she said as she called each team to a gate that lead into the fence surrounded forest.
"On the whistle the gates will open and your timer will start" called Anko threw a bullhorn.
Everyone waited on baited breath before the whistle sounded and they were off into the dark forest.
Naruto and his team raced into the forest they had all agreed that Kiba should carry the scroll in his bag with Akamaru.
Flashback
"I know you don't have many ninjutsu that doesn't require Akamaru but if he's in there and someone grabs the bag.
He can give them a surprise attack giving us enough time to retrieve the bag and scroll" said Naruto as they walked to the forest gate.
End Flashback
They raced through the forest for a few hours before the sun was at its peak telling them it was midday.
"Alright let's stop and rest" said Naruto whom both Kiba and Hinata decided should be team leader.
Flashback
"We're gonna need a team leader" said Kiba
"Alright then you can do it" said Naruto
"Wha- hay why me?" asked Kiba.
"Simple you've got the nose" said Naruto thinking the argument was over
"Uh, um, eh," said Hinata causing Naruto to sigh.
"Hinata how is anyone gonna know what's on your mind if you don't speak up" said Naruto kindly.
"Well, um, I think that you should be the leader Naruto" said Hinata
This caused Naruto to freeze.
"Yeah you'd make a better leader than I would" said Kiba
"Oh and please elaborate on how you both agree on that?" asked Naruto raising an eyebrow.
"Well you're strong" said Hinata
"You're a brilliant strategist and you're a smooth talker" said Kiba remembering the bell test.
"But I'm not cut out for the leader ship post the bell test was just using you to get Kakashi to fall into my trap" said Naruto.
"You still directed us and the plan worked" said Hinata
"Hinata, Kiba…" said Naruto unable to find away to talk his way out of this he finally shook his head with a foxy grin he said.
"Alright but if I screw up it's on your heads not mine" said Naruto
"Don't worry buddy you won't screw up" said Kiba with a grin as Akamaru gave a muffled bark from within the backpack.
End Flashback
They came to rest outside a small lake that was surrounded by trees Naruto started to perform hand signs at speeds that they were a blur to both Hinata and Kiba.
Once he was finished the air shimmered around the area slightly, then he turned to his team and pulled out a small scroll he unrolled it then touched one of them in a puff of smoke.
Three small fish appeared from within the scroll they were wrapped in aluminum foil that was slightly charred.
"I made these this morning so they should still be warm" said Naruto unwrapping one of the fish and tossing one to Kiba and Hinata.
"Uh thanks Naruto" said Kiba unwrapping his own and began to eat it as did Hinata one bite and both their eyes popped open.
"Sorry it isn't too good I never had much of a knack for cooking" said Naruto touching the scroll again causing three empty cups to appear.
"Naruto are you insane this is delicious" said Kiba as tears flowed from his eyes
"Yes, N-N-Naruto it is really good" said Hinata with a small smile.
This caused Naruto's eyes to pop out of his head
"You can't be serious" he said they both gave him dagger like stares as if he'd said a foul curse word.
"Okay sorry I won't criticize my own cooking" said Naruto taking a bite of his fish, suddenly the wind picked up.
Behind them they turned to see a vortex had whipped up around a Hidden Rain ninja he was wearing an oxygen mask over his face hiding it.
His body was covered in a yellow swimsuit he wasn't gasping for air as was what usually happened when someone fell pray to this Jutsu.
"Alright, you got about thirty seconds before you die from decompression within the vortex so you can either die or give us your scroll" said Naruto
"I…don't…have…it" choked the ninja.
Naruto shrugged his shoulder and walked away from the ninja and sat back down to finish his fish with Hinata and Kiba.
"Ten…nine…eight…seven…six…five…four…three…two…one" he said as the sound of something exploding was heard he smirked.
"One down" escaped his lips that were now curled into a smile
"Naruto" said Hinata
He looked at her confused
"What he was an enemy and I don't take prisoners" said Naruto as the sadistic smile crept onto his face.
"Naruto I'm glad we're on the same team" said Kiba throwing his fish bones into the lake Naruto then got up and walked over to the.
Bloody remains of the ninja blood was scattered across the area like someone had taken hundred's of gallons of red paint and dumped it everywhere.
Some of his guts and pieces of flesh littered the ground Naruto took in a deep breath he relished in the smell of fresh blood.
Then he saw lying on the ground was an Earth Scroll he picked it up and cleaned the blood off of it then brought it back to his team.
"Looks like we're heading for the middle of the forest early" he said holding up the Earth Scroll.
"That's great" said Hinata
"Naruto wear did you get that?" asked Kiba
"I found it on what was left of that Rain Ninja" said Naruto throwing him the scroll to put in the pack with their other scroll.
Suddenly a girl's scream was heard echoing throughout the area
"What was that" asked Naruto covering his ears.
"That sounded like Sakura" said Kiba sniffing the air
"She's that way" he said pointing towards the west of their position.
Naruto and Hinata nodded
"Lead the way Kiba" said Naruto then they took off towards the sent.
Upon arriving they saw Sakura guarding an unconscious Shino Sasuke was fighting a Grass Ninja.
His neck stretched towards Sasuke's unprotected neck only to be stopped inches from biting it.
The head turned to see Hinata was grabbing the ninjas extended throat
"So little girl you want to play" said the Ninja in a hiss like voice.
He then turned his neck to bite her when she disappeared in a puff of smoke
'A Shadow Clone?' thought the Ninja.
As his head returned to his body then three blurs appeared in front of Sasuke
"Heard someone scream thought you could use a hand" said Naruto.
"What are you doing here idiot we had everything under control" said Sasuke
"Funny because from where we're standing you three look like you're on your last legs" said Kiba.
"Hinata, Kiba keep them back I'll handle this guy" said Naruto the tone of his voice cause them both to shudder.
Sakura looked at them confused as to why they would not only listen to Naruto but also shudder from the tone in his voice.
"May I ask the name of my foe" said Naruto
"Orochimaru" said the ninja.
"Naruto" said Naruto as both took a fighting stance.
Then Orochimaru threw several kunai at Naruto only to watch him catch each one with his fingers then throw them back.
Orochimaru dodged the attack then he did a set of hand signs
"Summoning Jutsu!" shouted Orochimaru as a giant snake appeared in a puff of smoke with Orochimaru on top of its head.
Naruto smirked then ran right at the snake he then disappeared then reappeared covered in blood then blood gushed from the snake's neck as.
It fell to the ground dead its body thrashed around uncontrollably before it disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"Impressive" said Orochimaru as he preformed the same hand signs causing three snakes to appeared
Naruto's smirk grew as his eyes glowed with the need for more blood then he disappeared again the snakes soon fell to a pile of bloody pieces. (For those of you who've watched it think Resident Evil one in the laser room at the beginning of the movie)
A clang of metal was heard as Orochimaru blocked Naruto's attack with his own kunai Naruto smirked then backed off and then ran at the man.
Orochimaru licked his kunai then attacked Naruto another clang of metal was heard then a yells that echoed throughout the forest.
Naruto jumped back his breathing was heavy and labored Orochimaru was clutching his face as it sprouted blood threw his finger tips.
"Come now is that all you've got?" asked Naruto Orochimaru started to laugh as he removed his hand from his face to show.
Snow white skin beneath the tan skin as well as a yellow eye with a vertical pupil that resembled a snake's eye
"So you want to play rough huh" said Orochimaru.
He then did a set of hand signs
"Snake Poison Fang Jutsu" he shouted but wasn't aiming for Naruto two fangs shot from his mouth towards Hinata.
Naruto disappeared in the blind of an eye and took the fangs in the arm his eyes were no longer blue but scarlet red.
His pupils became vertical slits a red chakra began to swirl around his body his fingernails became longer and claw like, his whisker marks became thicker, his eyes were then had a dark outline around them.
"Never try to harm my friends" he growled as the fangs fell from his arm as the wound hissed causing it to close wile steam issued from it.
"Well, well you're just full of surprises aren't you?" said Orochimaru wile Naruto smirked.
"You don't know the half of it" he said as he did a set of hand signs
"Fire-Wind Style: Flaming Vortex Jutsu" shouted Naruto as the wind picked up and then fire appeared from within the vortex.
Naruto then caused the vortex to float towards Orochimaru, who did a set of hand signs
"Summoning Jutsu" he shouted as a giant gate appeared from beneath the ground blocking the flaming vortex.
He was so preoccupied with the Jutsu that he didn't notice the air around him shimmer
"Wind Style: Vacuum Vortex Jutsu!" shouted Naruto as a vortex appeared around Orochimaru who turned into a rock.
'A substitution' thought Naruto as Orochimaru appeared behind him he then started to thrust a kunai in Naruto's back but was stopped.
By a strange wave of pain in his stomach he looked down to see a chakra tail had pierced threw his body.
He looked at Naruto to see he was covered in the Fox Shroud Naruto turned to Orochimaru with a smirk.
Suddenly he disappeared in a puff of smoke
"A Shadow Clone huh well if that's how you want to play" said Naruto performing the single hand sign.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu" he shouted as the area was filled with twenty Naruto's
"Alright you guys find him" said Naruto the clones nodded and disappeared.
Naruto then turned to his team
"You guys alright?" he asked looking them over they both nodded he then looked at team 7
"What about you two you alright?" asked Naruto they both nodded.
Naruto's mind was bombarded with images from the Shadow Clones as they were defeated by Orochimaru.
He shuddered as one fell into the jaws of a summoned snake, then his face went pale not from the images in his head but the image that was right in front of him.
Orochimaru had Sakura by the throat with a kunai inches away from it
'I couldn't sense him' he thought
"Awe what's the matter Kyuubi brat afraid that I might kill your little friend here?" asked Orochimaru slyly.
Naruto shrugged
"Kill her she's of no importance to me" said Naruto Orochimaru smirked as he slid the kunai across her throat only to watch her.
Disappear in a puff of smoke
"A Shadow Clone" said Orochimaru
"Yeah I had a feeling you'd try something like that so I made Hinata, Kiba, Sasuke, Sakura, and Shino leave the area. You and I are the only one's here" said Naruto smirking as he fell on all fours.
"Now I can show you my true power" said Naruto again as his Fox Shroud began to bubble as a second tail formed.
Then a third tail formed Naruto left out an inhuman roar that echoed throughout the area he then ran towards Orochimaru at a god like speed.
He then clenched his fist and punched Orochimaru sending him flying threw several trees he then ran at the Snake Ninja and slashed his stomach only to see snakes.
Pull him back together Orochimaru did a set of hand signs
"Snake Imprisonment Jutsu" he said as a giant cage made of snakes appeared from the ground Naruto slashed at the cage with his chakra claws causing them to burn and die.
Once he was free he set his sites on Orochimaru to see him disappearing within a tree only to be grabbed by Naruto.
And pulled out then slammed into the ground Naruto then did a set of hand signs
"Fire Style: Kyuubi Inferno Jutsu!" he shouted as nine balls of fire appeared behind him then blew towards Orochimaru like.
A set of flamethrowers Orochimaru had little time to act as he disappeared into the ground.
Naruto then jumped to the ground to see he had disappeared suddenly five glowing lights of chakra appeared beneath his feet.
"Five Elemental Prong Seal!" shouted Orochimaru hitting Naruto in the stomach Naruto suddenly felt all of his power leave him.
He fell to the ground still conscious
"Interesting, you actually managed to harm me" said Orochimaru grabbing Naruto by his neck and picking him up.
Naruto could see that part of Orochimaru's arm had a shiny burn on it Orochimaru then opened his mouth allowing a sword to come out of his throat.
Using his tongue he made to slice down when he heard
"Fang over Fang!" then two vortexes flew towards him he dropped Naruto and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"We'll meet again Naruto we'll meet again" said Orochimaru as he disappeared into a tree.
"Naruto" shouted Hinata as she ran over to help him
"Thanks Kiba" said Naruto getting to his feet by the time Hinata got to him.
"Dude I think when we get to the tower you need to rest for a bit" said Kiba
"No, there'll be ninja waiting around there to attack anyone coming towards it" said Naruto.
He then felt himself falling backwards as his world became dark
"Naruto!" was the last thing he heard from whom he wasn't sure.
***
Naruto awoke to find himself lying on a very comfortable bed there was a heavy object on his chest he looked to see Hinata was once again there.
He, laid there for a wile until she stirred she looked to see Naruto was awake the shot straight up her face was as red as red could get.
"I-I-I-I'm s-s-s-o-o-o-ry" she said
"You know Hinata I've got this strange feeling that you like me" said Naruto with a smirk causing Hinata to become so red her blood vessels threatened to burst.
"W-w-w-w-h-at g-g-g-i-v-v-es y-y-ou th-th-that id-d-d-ea?" asked Hinata
"Well the fact that you always blush when you're around me uh, the fact that that last two time's I've been bed ridded I've woken to find you laying on my chest having been up worrying about me" said Naruto his smirk was even bigger.
"I-I-I-m-m-m-s-s-so-ry" she stuttered
"Funny thing is I don't see anything to apologize about because I like you too Hinata" said Naruto.
Hinata looked at him for a few seconds then hit the floor with a loud thud this caused Naruto to bust up laughing as he helped her into his bed.
He then walked out of the room after Hinata had awoken, she then told him that Sasuke's team had helped them get to the tower, plus got themselves a Heaven Scroll.
"So what was inside the scrolls?" asked Naruto as they made their way to the entrance room of the tower where Kiba was waiting for them.
"Hey Hinata, Naruto I see you're finally up, what happened?" asked Kiba
"I'm not sure that Orochimaru guy attacked me from below with some weird Jutsu then the next thing I know Kyuubi's power was gone" said Naruto.
"Well now that you're up how about we open the scroll leader?" asked Kiba tossing him a scroll.
"Huh some leader not even five minutes into the forest and I'm down for the count" said Naruto bitterly.
"Naruto if it wasn't for you Sakura would've been killed by that guy" said Kiba
"Yeah and you're also the one who defeated that Rain Ninja" said Hinata without a single stutter.
"Alright stop patronizing me and lets open these things" said Naruto he pulled one as Kiba pulled the other at the same time.
There was a puff of smoke then Iruka appeared before them
"Iruka sensei" said all three of them
"Hey guys" said Iruka.
"Iruka sensei what are you doing here?" asked Hinata
"The hole point of this exam was for you to obtain the scrolls right" said Iruka they all three nodded.
"Well a ninja is often times given secret documents that he must not open for one reason or another also it, showed weather or not you could. Keep the scroll's safe once you had both of them and I must say you three did splendidly. The scrolls themselves were a Summoning Jutsu that would call us regardless as to weather you had both scrolls.
But if you had only one scroll you were to be knocked out by me or who ever you were to summon then you would fail the exam" said Iruka with like he was giving a lecture to his former students again.
"So now that, that's settled tell me what you three have been up to since you left the academy" said Iruka.
They then began to tell Iruka about what happened when they took Tazuna to the land of waves, how Naruto wasn't as much of a psychopathic killer as he was before.
"I'll still kill if I can" said Naruto defending himself when it was brought up, they then told him about what had happened in the forest.
"Well guys sounds to me like you've had a pretty eventful day" said Iruka 'I'll have to tell Lord Hokage about Orochimaru' he thought.
"Yeah so now what are, we going to do next sensei" asked Kiba
"Well you'll have a week off to train then there'll be a preliminary fight examination" said Iruka they all three nodded.
"Now then you three are free to go" said Iruka with a huge grin
'They've grown up so much its hard to believe they're really the same kids that I taught only a few months ago' thought Iruka.
The three Chunin hopefuls nodded then walked out the door and headed to the village for some R&R.
"Hey Naruto you gonna train with that guy Jiriaya again?" asked Kiba
"Yeah he's really an amazing teacher he helped me unlock more of Kyuubi's power wile I trained with him I hope he can remove this seal" he said pointing to.
The five Elemental Seal on his stomach that over shadowed the normal seal that the four Hokage placed on him.
The three friends turned to each other and said their good byes then headed home well one did anyway.
"Hey Hinata I've just remembered something" said Naruto
Hinata stopped and turned to him
"W-w-w-what i-s-s-i-t" she stuttered.
"On the bridge at the land of waves you wanted to tell me something what was it?" asked Naruto.
Hinata's face turned as red as red could get
"Well…I…um…I…wanted…"
"Come on Hinata I told you before how is anyone gonna know what you want if you don't speak up?" said Naruto teasingly.
"W-w-w-e-e-e-l-l-l-l-I-I-I-I-l-l-l-o-o-o-v-v-v-e-e-e-y-y-y-o-u" said Hinata she then blushed furiously.
'He's going to hate me now' she thought as Naruto looked at her in shock
"You do?" he said in disbelief
All Hinata could do was nod at this point.
"Hinata" said Naruto
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you" she shouted
"What upset me how could you upset me with that do you know how long I've waited for someone to say that to me?" said Naruto.
"Naruto" said Hinata Naruto then walked over to her, he wasn't sure why he was doing it but it felt right, he leaned in and kissed her on the lips.
Hinata felt stunned
'Naruto's kissing me, oh what do I do' she thought then it was as if it was automatically answered for her as she kissed him back.
After about five seconds they both released only to breath
"I'm sorry Hinata I shouldn't have done that" said Naruto
'Why do I feel this way towards her what is this feeling?' he thought.
"Its alright Naruto I'm not mad" she said with a smile on her face.
"Really" he asked this time she leaned in and kissed him, after anther five seconds they broke apart.
"I'll take that as a yes" said Naruto with a smile, she smiled back at him then they walked back to her house.
To find Hiashi waiting for Hinata the sight of the two of them holding hands made him smirk, then he put on the stern face look.
"Hinata what are you doing?" he asked as sternly as he could
"F-F-F-a-a-a-a-t-h-her-Naruto's j-j-just w-w-w-walking me home" said Hinata.
"It looks more like he's holding your hand to me" said Hiashi sternly again.
"I'm sorry sir it's just I really like your daughter and she likes me too" said Naruto pulling his hand away this caused Hiashi to give him a death glare.
"If I ever catch you so much as thinking of any other girl besides Hinata I'll break your neck" said Hiashi trading his stern look with a smile.
"You approve father" said Hinata without stuttering this surprised Hiashi the most
"Yes, I approve he's a good man and I know he'll protect you" said Hiashi Naruto then pulled Hinata towards him and kissed her full on the mouth again.
This caused Hinata to faint
"Uh Hinata we've really got to work on that" said Naruto wile Hiashi stood there leaning against a fence post laughing so hard tears fell from his eyes.
He then took Hinata inside and bade Naruto a goodnight Naruto nodded then went back to his apartment with only one thing on his mind.
'Someone love's me' he thought.
A/N I hope you liked the ending to this chapter I'm not sure if I did the love scene right I've never done one before I'm usually all about smash'em an bash'em so if the love scene sucked please forgive me
