Naruto: On behalf of Hakureisaiga, he doesn't own Naruto or DMC, just the games
Chapter 5- Training and the Siren of the Red Queen
Naruto travelled into the crevices of his mind and met Kasumi, Dante, Vergil, and Nero inside, ready to train him. "Okay, Naruto, I will train you first!" Vergil said, "Now let's start, the Dark Slayer style requires quick dodging and evasion maneuvers, but different from the Trickster style you use."Naruto said, "I am guessing because of the Kyu…I mean, Kasumi."
Vergil nodded, "Correct, Master Naruto! Now in order to get you up to speed, Dante, Nero, Kasumi and I will chase you and launch attacks."Naruto looked at Rebellion and Red Queen's smirks, but what scared him the most was Kasumi's malicious smile. "Wha…" Naruto said.
"Ready, set, go!" Vergil shouted quickly. Naruto spent the next three hours dodging invisible cuts, flamethrowers, bullets, Drives, and Red Queen's combo attacks.
Next, Dante took over after Naruto caught his breath, "Now your warm-up is done, let's train your sword skills against me and my oh so charming brother of mine."Dante grasped his hilt of the sword and Vergil drew his weapon also.
Naruto drew out Force Edge and Yamato out and moved to attack both of them, soon their devil blood kicked in, making it a battle royale with the three of them for 5 straight hours.
Then Nero joined in, making the fight lasting 2 more hours. Kasumi took over, training him her jutsu and trying to awaken his Devil Trigger. Naruto and Kasumi's combined efforts couldn't awaken it for some reason, usually the devil within awakens by training extensively like Vergil or using a Devil Arm like Dante, but neither of those methods works for him.
Kasumi said, "Good, you have mastered Katon: Housenka no Jutsu and Suiton: Suiryuudan no Jutsu. Good thing I memorized Zabuza's hand signs. It's physical training time! Drop down and give me 500!" Naruto knew from experience that if he didn't compile, she would make him run 4 miles while she attacked him with Katon jutsu and projectiles.
So he started his push-ups, then they move on to crunches and sit-ups. Soon Naruto, despite his high stamina, passed out from fatigue. Kasumi then send him back to the real world. Dante said, "Well, that was fun torturing him…he will be strong in no time since time is different than his world."
Kasumi said, "Yeah…"
Dante said, smirking at her, "You like him, don't you?"
Kasumi blushed furiously, "No, I don't!"
Dante's smirk widened even more, "Oh, really? Then why are you blushing so heavily?"At that time,Kasumi attacked him with a mallet that appeared out of nowhere and ran after the retreating Dante.
Naruto woke up painfully, "Damn, I swear my ancestors are fucking sadists, but then again, they are of devil blood though. Time to go and take a test!"
Building- "What took you so long, damn it?" Sasuke said.
Naruto replied, "Sorry, gotta dress to impress!"
Both of his teammates glared at him as they moved inside the building. Team 7 walked into the building to see a couple of seasoned "genin" pushed back a guy in green spandex and tight eyebrows.
"That is the mini Green Spandex Man I saw yesterday." Naruto thought. Then Tenten appeared next to him. "I am guessing that Tenten is his teammate."Naruto thought. He looked to see that she was hit by those guards and decided to put an end to it by shooting a few shots rang in the air.
Everyone turned to see Naruto with Luce smoking in his hand. "I am so sorry for disturbing you but how about you leave her alone now?" the Jinchuuriki said with a boring tone. Sasuke, not wanting to be out done, shouted out, "And while you are at it, dispel the genjutsu!"
Naruto inwardly seethed in anger, "That idiot, the genjutsu was supposed to weed out the weaklings for the test. Man, he is supposed to be a genius!" he thought.
Suddenly the mini Green Spandex Man moved over to Sakura and asked, "Are you Sakura?"
The girl nodded and then he continued, "My name is Rock Lee! Will you honor me by going on a date with me?" Sakura's look changed from indifferent to horror, "Hell no! You are way too weird!"
Naruto helped Tenten up, "You all right, Tenten?"
Tenten grunted, "I'm fine, Naruto-kun." Naruto caught the suffix but chose not to comment on it. Then a boy with pale lavender eyes approached Sasuke and Naruto, "Hey, what are your names?"
Sasuke smirked arrogantly, "Uchiha Sasuke." The pale-eyed boy replied, "Hyuga Neji."
He turned to Naruto, who said, "You will know my name when the time comes."
Naruto walked off and a moment later, Sasuke and Sakura quickly followed. As soon they were near the entrance to the exams, Lee called out, "Uchiha Sasuke, I challenge you to a duel."
Naruto looked at Sasuke, "Sasuke, we don't have time for this and you are probably gonna get your ass kicked badly." Sasuke ignored him and jumped down the railing to face the Green Beast of Konoha.
5 minutes later- "Told ya you were going to get your ass kicked." Naruto said in an annoying sing-song voice. Sasuke muttered, "Shut up, dobe." Suddenly a squeal was heard and a purple and blond figure ran to glomp Sasuke.
"Hello, Sasuke!" Ino said, attempting to be seductive.
Sakura shrieked, "Get your hands off of my Sasuke-kun, Ino-pig!"
Naruto greeted Shikamaru and Choji, "Hey, Shikamaru, Choji, see any good clouds today?"
Shikamaru sighed, "No, I couldn't because of this troublesome exam."
Choji handed his bag of chips, "Pizza-flavored?"
Naruto nodded his thanks and took a few as another familiar voice rang out, "Yahoo, found you!" Team 7 and Team 10 turned to see Team 8- Kiba Inuzaka, Shino Aburame, and the lovely Hinata Hyuga.
"H-Hello." Hinata shyly said to the group.
Kiba said, "Looks like the gang is all here, I wonder how far we will get. Where is that idiot Naruto anyway?"
Naruto answered, "Right in front of you, dumbass!"
Kiba said, "Naruto?! What's with the wardrobe change?"
The Jinchuuriki said, "Bloodline." Suddenly a guy with silver hair tied into a ponytail and glasses spoke up, "Hey guys, you should be quieter."
Ino blurted out, "Who the hell are you?"
The genin answered, "Name's Kabuto…Yakushi Kabuto, and I suggest again to quiet down or you will piss off those Ame nin behind you."
Sakura asked, "Kabuto-san, is this your second time?
" Kabuto shook his head, "My seventh time, this exam is held twice a year, so this would be my fourth year. I am guessing you want information on the exam, right?" The genin nodded as Kabuto pulled out some cards.
Naruto joked, "Wow, if I knew that we were gonna play Duel Monsters in the exam, I would have brought my own deck. My Dark Magician of Chaos would have destroyed you."
Kabuto chuckled, "These are my ninja info cards, they have information burned with chakra on them and you can't activate it unless I use my chakra on them."
Sasuke asked, "Do you have info on individuals too?" Kabuto nodded and Sasuke arrogantly said, "Sabaku no Gaara, Rock Lee, and…Uzumaki Naruto." The genin except Shino wondered why did Sasuke wanted to know about Naruto.
"Rock Lee, he has done 20 D-Rank, and 12 C-rank. His teammates are Tenten Higarashi and Neji Hyuga, his sensei is Maito Gai. Taijutsu-high chuunin, Ninjutsu-nonexistent, Genjutsu-nonexistent. Sabaku no Gaara, he has done 16 D-Rank, 8 C-Rank, and wow, even a B-Rank. His taijutsu, ninjutsu and genjutsu are unknown, but it says here that he came here without a scratch from all his missions. Lastly, Uzumaki Naruto, he has completed 30 D-Rank, 1 B-Rank, and 1 A-Rank. Taijutsu- low genin, Ninjutsu- high genin, Genjutsu- low genin, Kinjutsu- high jonin. Teammates are you and Sakura Haruno and sensei is Kakashi Hatake." Kabuto read out to the rookie nine.
Everyone quirked an eyebrow when Naruto smirked at the information. "Konoha, along with Sand, Rain, Grass, Waterfall, and Sound are currently taking this exam. The ones you shouldn't worry about is Sound, since it is newly developed now."
The skinny boy with a music note on his hitai-ate said, "Heh, so Oto is a minor village, eh, Dosu?"
The bandaged one known as Dosu replied, "Is that so, Zaku?" Zaku suggested, "Let's play with them a bit." Dosu chuckled, "Hehe, good idea calling us leftovers. Let's add to his data that Oto ninja can be quite destructive. Kin, you stay back." The kunoichi was about to protest, but decided against it and nodded as the two slipped between the crowd.
Naruto and Kabuto watched them, and at the last second, Naruto appeared in front of Zaku and Dosu with his prized guns in their faces. "Look, I know we are all eager and everything, but save it for the exam."
Suddenly a man shouted out, "I'm Morino Ibiki, the first proctor of the exam. Oto, stop this foolishness or be disqualified." Dosu apologized, "Sorry, we were a little excited." Ibiki muttered, "Excited, my ass."
Then he cleared his throat, "Which brings up the first rule, no fighting unless I give the word. The unfortunate bastards who break that law will fail immediately, understand?" The crowd shuffled a bit uncomfortably as the proctors smirked darkly.
Zaku smirked confidently, "This exam sounds easy."
Ibiki continued, "Now for the seating arrangements, you will pick a tab with a number on it and sit at the appropriate seat, then we will hand out the exams."
Naruto muttered, "Great…a fucking paper test." Soon everyone was seated, Naruto sat down to see Hinata next to him. "Hey, Hinata." Naruto greeted her with a warm smile.
Hinata answered shyly, "H-Hello, N-Naruto-kun. L-Let's do o-our best."
Naruto nodded as Ibiki said, "Don't turn over the tests until I tell you to do so. First, we must go over the rules and no questions will be answered, so listen carefully. You each start with 10 points, the test has ten questions, if you miss one, you have nine. The second rule is that it is a team test… to see if how much your test can hold up to 30 points."
Sakura shouted, "I don't understand this system and why it is a team test." Ibiki barked, "If you shut the fuck up, I can tell you! Why the fuck I say no questions will be answered." The man calmed down and continued, "The third and most important rule is that if anyone who is caught cheating will have their points subtracted by 2 points."
One of the proctors commented, "We have our eye on you guys."
The crowd looked a bit shaken as Ibiki said, "Realize that the weak ones who get caught are destroying themselves. As shinobi trying to become chunin, be proud ninjas. The final rule…is that if a teammate don't answer all question correctly or loses all points will fail…along with their 2 teammates."
Sakura thought, "What?!"
Naruto thought to himself, "Hmm…I sense two people who want to kill me. Feh, they can try."
Ibiki said, "You will have one hour to complete the test…Begin!" The genin turned over their tests and began scribbling their answers.
"What the hell?! You have to be Sakura to answer these damn questions." Naruto thought. He looked in the corner of his eye to see Sasuke using his Sharingan to copy an undercover chunin's movements.
"Why is he cheating…wait a minute, Scarface gave us plenty of freebies to cheat. So maybe…the true test is that he wants us to cheat and not get caught." He thought to himself.
The Jinchuuriki muttered, "Kuso, I don't have anything in my arsenal for cheating, I guess I have to wait until the tenth question." Soon a minority began to cheat.
Hinata and Neji with their Byakugan, Gaara used his Third Eye, Tenten used the mirrors to give Lee the answers, Kankuro used his puppet Karasu, disguised as a proctor to pass answers to Temari, Ino used the Shintenshin no Jutsu on Sakura, then gave Shikamaru and Choji the answers via jutsu. Soon over the hour, 13 teams failed the exam being caught cheating.
Ibiki said, "Okay, now we begin the 10th question, but I must apply the added rules for this question." Kankuro walked back in with the 'chunin', "You had fun playing your doll." The puppet master stiffened, "He knew about Karasu?!"
Ibiki continued on, "The rules are for you to decide to take it or not." Temari yelled, "Choose?! What happens if we say no?" Ibiki's eyes darkened, "That's easy, you fail. Your points turn to zero and your team is evicted from the exams."
A random genin shouted, "What the hell does that supposed to mean then?! Of course we will take it!" Ibiki smirked, "If you answer incorrectly…you will never be able to take this exam again."
Kiba shouted, "You can't do that, there are guys here who took this exam before."
Ibiki smiled darkly, "That year, they didn't have me, so it is my rules now, but if you choose not to take it, you will be able to take it next year."
Another random genin shouted, "This is bullshit!"
Ibiki turned to her, "Tough nubs!! Now there is anybody who doesn't want to risk the tenth question, please raise your fucking hand."
One by one, genin dropped out and were escorted out the door. Ibiki asked, "Anyone else?"
Naruto slowly stood up and when a proctor was about to call his number, then Naruto brought his fist down, cracking the table and slightly scaring Hinata."Scarface, if you think that using that tactic to scare us, then they are mistaken, so take that and shove it up your ass."
Ibiki thought in amusement, "Hmm…nobody had ever had the guts to call me that in a long time." Then Ibiki spoke, "Are you sure you want to take the risk? If you get this question wrong, you'll remain a genin forever."
Naruto spoke with conviction, "Then I will be the strongest genin ever then, titles are nothing when it comes to terms of strength. An inexperienced jounin can be defeated by an experienced genin."
Ibiki looked at the crowd, now sporting looks of confidence, "Interesting…that speech gave them back their confidence and spirit." The Tokubetsu Jounin thought to himself. "Time to give them the final verdict." The scarred man said, "For those of you remaining her, you…pass."
The genin all shouted, "SAY WHAT?!?!?!?!"
Sakura asked, "Then what about the tenth question?" Ibiki answered with a smile, "Your choice to take the question was the tenth question." Temari shot out, "So what about the other nine, what was their purpose?"
The Torture and Interrogation leader said, "Those questions were not for a genin to answer unless you are a genius, forcing you to cheat, so we had two or more chunins located near you to help up out. Those who cheated poorly failed."
Ibiki chose this time to untie his bandana to reveal his scarred hand full of burns and screw holes, "Because…at times, information is more important than life, and people will risk everything to get it." Sasuke thought. "The after effects of torture."
Naruto thought, "Damn, somebody tried awfully hard to get into that head of his." Ibiki retied his bandana, "If the enemy notices you, there is no guarantee that the info will be accurate. Information can be a powerful weapon for your country and teammates."
Temari said, "Demo…I don't understand the final question."
Ibiki sighed, "The 10th question is based on a choice, a leap of faith that could make you or break you. The ability to face any hardships and be perilous is the qualifications for a chunin. So I wish you guys luck."
Naruto smirked at him and to his surprise, Ibiki returned the smirk. "Interesting kid…" Ibiki thought. Suddenly Ibiki detected movement at the window to find a banner flung into the room. It began to unwind to reveal a woman in a fishnet and long-sleeved beige trenchcoat.
"You guys should not be celebrating this early yet!" She shouted. The banner had been embroidered with "The Sexy Mistress, Anko Mitarashi." Anko said, "I am the second examiner of the exam, now let's go."
Naruto whistled, "Hello nurse!"
Anko thought, "Who is that kid, he looks sexy."
Ibiki came from behind the banner, "Anko, you're early…again."
Anko retorted, "You left 78 pass, your test is way too easy."
Ibiki said the last part lowly, "There are some interesting one this year…especially the silver-blond kid." Anko scoffed,"Heh…fine, my test will cut them in half." Sakura thought, "In half?!" The promiscuous woman shouted, "Follow me!"
Training Area 44-"Welcome to the second part of the exam, Training area 44 also known as the Forest of Death." Anko said. Naruto said cockily, "I bet that this place doesn't live up to its name." Anko smirked and threw a kunai at him, which he caught in the air.
Anko appeared behind him, "Guys like you always get killed quickly." Naruto smirked, "Really? Are you sure about your theory, miss?" Anko suddenly felt the coldness from the barrel of his gun. "Cuz I am sure I can change your mind in many different ways."
Anko asked, "How many?"
Naruto answered, "69."
Anko said, "Heh, I like your style, kid. Anyway, I need you to sign these waiver forms, that way if you happen to die, we don't get blamed for it."
Some of the genin got a little unnerved by her smile. "Okay, the rules are simple…you guys will fight over two scrolls labeled Heaven and Earth in a no holds barred event. Your team will receive one of those scrolls and make the search for the other, but this will last only five days and you must make it to the tower located in the middle. If your teammate is killed, you open the scroll, or don't make it in time, you fail the exam. Now choose a gate and a word of advice…just don't die."
Each genin walked to their designated gate and when Anko gave the order to start, they ran through. Naruto gripped onto Yamato tightly as he thought, "It begins."
Hakureisaiga-Done with that damn chapter, next time, Naruto meets his first Devil Arm challenge and some demons along the way
Dante-Also somebody will be caught in the crossfire. Who will it be? Find out next time on TOTAL…DRAMA…
Hakureisaiga-Wrong show, dammit (Begins to chase Dante around with a chainsaw)
Naruto- Bye
