So, I just realized I never put this before my other chapters, and figured I should. Just to clarify, I don't own Naruto.

Mutterings of "This is creepy" and "what is this place" abounded in the crowd of nervous genins. The proctor Anko let them wonder and stared at them as they grew more nervous

and tense. Her mind however was on other things. 'That was Kurenai's gaki that Ibiki nodded to… I wonder what he did. I guess I have to wait until this test is over, but that doesn't

mean I can't do something to test him here…' All of a sudden, Anko's thoughts were interrupted as she heard someone call out above everyone else "I refuse to be

afraid!" Anko looked up and smirked when she saw who had made the comment. 'Well, this does give me an opportunity to test him…' Anko thought as she launched a kunai at

him. Anko sped behind Naruto to lick at his tasty blood, but Naruto had leaned just a little to the right, avoiding the Kunai. Anko leaned against Naruto and sighed into his ear.

"It's a shame, I was looking forward to trying your blood."

"Well you wouldn't be the 1st to want some of my blood for no reason, can't say anyone's ever wanted a taste though." For just a second, Naruto's eyes flashed with the

pain and sadness of someone who'd never been loved. Anko saw it and faltered for a second, her eye's the same as Naruto's, before putting her smirk back on.

"You're a spirited one. To bad ones like you are quickly killed, spraying that red blood I love." Naruto quirked an eyebrow in response and responded:

"Well its not like you were able to get any of it." Anko grinned. "Guess I'll have to fix that." She reached towards his cheek, kunai in hand, only to be interrupted at the sight of

a tongue, kunai in grasp reaching forwards. "Here's your Kunai" the creepy grass ninja said. "Why thank you." Anko responded. "But unless you want to die, don't sneak up

behind me." Anko strode toward the front of the group once again and announced "Before we start the second test, there's something I have to hand out. You brats have to

sign these wavers. There will be lots of lovely deaths in this exam, and I don't want them to be my responsibility. Alright, after you sign, each time will go to that booth over there

and get either a heaven or an earth scroll. You're job will be to survive in here for five days, get whichever scroll your missing, and make it to the tower alive. Have fun, and

remember there are no rules. But, you might want to watch out for the man eating beasts, poisonous plants, and poisonous insects. I love those cuddly things, but other people

don't. I wonder why…" Everyone shivered, but signed their forms and began to walk over to the booth to get their scroll. "Oh yea" Anko added " Anyone who tries to open

their scroll before they get to the tower will get a nice surprise. Have fun kiddies."

Team seven got their heaven scroll and walked over to gate 12, anxious to begin.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

As soon as the proctors at all fourty-four of the gates unlocked them, the teams bounded into the forest. Naruto quickly said to his teammates before they could go too far in

"Guys, I've got a plan." But his plan was quickly squelched as Sakura bashed him on the head "Baka! We'll follow whatever plan Sasuke-kun thinks is good." Naruto sighed to

himself knowing there was no point arguing. Sakura was impossible to deal with when it came to Sasuke. Quickly, he decided to make kage-bunshins without his team mates

knowledge, and have them act as scouts and guards for his team. "I got to take a piss." Naruto admitted. "NOT HERE!" Sakura yelled. "DO IT IN THE BUSHES!" Naruto strolled

away, thankful that his team didn't suspect anything and quickly made twenty kage-bunshins to trail his team. 15 of them henged into other nins

and ran off in groups of three while the other five henged into birds.

Meanwhile…

Naruto walked back into the clearing "Man so much came out. I feel great now!" He exclaimed to his teammates. Sasuke without a moment's hesitation launched a

kunai at Naruto, only to have him poof into a rain-nin. Sasuke smirked, "Nice try, but Naruto wears his kunai holster on the other leg." Sasuke and the rain-nin quickly leapt to

fight. Sasuke stabbed the rain genin, but the genin quickly ran away. Naruto walked back into the clearing just in time to see this happen and was very glad he had the kage

bunshins watching. "If we get separated again, even if it looks like one of us. Don't trust them. We'll use this as a code- A large amount of loud enemies is the friend of the shinobi.

Hide and remain silent. A shinobi must understand the proper time, when the enemy is tired and ill prepared." Sakura quickly nodded in agreement, while Naruto simply looked on

confusedly. He may have come a long way intelligence wise since he started training harder, and having clones read in the library every day, but there was no way he could

memorize a password that long. It was ridiculous. Suddenly, a huge wind swept through the clearing, Naruto tried to stick to the ground with chakra, but the wind was too strong.

So, Naruto quickly kawairmied himself with a nearby clone, cast Meisaigakure no Jutsu on himself, and watched as his clone was blown away. Sasuke and Sakura quickly tested

each other, but as Naruto stepped into the clearing and got the code right, Sasuke quickly launched a kunai at him once again. "Naruto" quickly undid his henge and reveled

himself to be the creepy grass genin from before.

"Impressive that you knew, this will be more fun that I thought."

Naruto watched in horror as the creepy tongue genin swallowed his earth scroll and flinched as the clone he kawairmed with got dispersed after being swallowed by a snake.

Naruto almost froze in fear as he watched his teammates get trapped in a gen-jutsu, but quickly shook his fear off. 'This is what I trained for… so I could protect everyone.'

Thinking through his arsenal of techniques, Naruto cast a Magen: Nijū Kokoni Arazu no Jutsu genjutsu that Kurenai had taught him on the ninja. Naruto continued to watch in

horror as the genin, no-no way it could possibly be a genin, as the creep stared and laughed as Sasuke stabbed himself to escape the illusion. Naruto franticly tried to think of

a plan, but dashed into the clearing tackling a huge snake and knocking it away from his teammates. Standing on a branch, Naruto looked down at his team mates and said

"Sorry guys, I forgot the password."

"kukuku, I gues you dealt with my snake Naruto-kun."

"No, but some of my kage bunshins did."

'If I couldn't beat him, there's no way that dobe can. I have to survive so I can kill Itachi there's nothing else to do' Sasuke thought to himself and spoke up

"If you leave, I'llgive you our scroll."

Naruto looked at Sasuke furiously and yelled " You idiot, he doesn't care about the scroll. He want's us. There's no way you're the real Sasuke. He's not acoward."

And with that, Naruto leapt at Sasuke and smashed him in the face. Naruto watched as the creepy ninja summoned a snake. Naruto quickly kawairmed himself with

one of his clones once again. But this one was different. *BOOM* The clone exploded against the snake as it attacked. As the snake died, a Naruto clone threw kunai at the ninja

while Naruto leapt at the Ninja from behind, katana in hand. Naruto swung at the nin's neck, only for the ninja to melt into mud. The grass ninja reappeard once again. Naruto's

hand appeared from the ground as he tried to pull the enemy underground, but he got away again. But Naruto was no longer calm, red chakra started to leak out of him, his

canines elongated, and his eyes turned into red slits.

"Well know that is unexpected." The creepy ninja said.

Before anyone could blink, he was in front of Naruto slamming his fingers into Naruto's stomach and throwing him

against a tree. Sasuke decided to finally fight. So, Sharingan blazing, he launched shuriken at the man and quickly followed it with a fire technique.

"kukuku" The man chuckled as he easily got away from the attack. "I am Orochimaru. If you want power, you will seek me out." Orochimaru's neck snaked forward and he bit

Sasuke on the neck.
