Chapter 1:

Test of Strength

I called my eagle on forward to try and end the monster battle quickly, but Naruto used a transformation jutsu and made his large toad into a wolf. The large wolf bit into my eagle I leapt off and released him. I landed near Naruto and kicked out at him. He dodged and returned with a punch I leapt high and began to build up my chakra.

"Slingshot jutsu! Chakra strings!" I connected to Naruto with my chakra and pulled on the strings to fling my body at Naruto then punched him in the face and connected to him again. I repeated the move this time not reconnecting. The kid was tired and a bit worn out from using so much chakra and be hit by my two blows. I threw a knife at him and it struck him in the gut. I was so stunned for a moment I didn't act. Then the body transformed into a log. A substitution jutsu. This guy wasn't only wide spread in is jutsu but quick. I saw him jump out from behind a tree. I threw four stars at him and used a shadow clone jutsu on the stars, so now at least twenty maybe thirty stars were flying at him. Naruto did a shadow clone jutsu, and flung himself out of the way.

"Your not bad." said Naruto.

"Thanks same to you." A blast suddenly appeared from behind us. The sound ninja are here, apparently the sand ninja couldn't delay them for long. I was hoping for at least two days. They must of bypassed the village all together, though what they must have been carrying in water and food would've been astounding. I looked at the kid across from me and knew I couldn't do this alone.

"Naruto, Kakashi! Sound ninja are here, and intend to destroy this village, go and tell your hokage! I'll hold them off here!"

"Naruto, you go to tell the village I'm going to help Xilic." Kakashi lifted his headband up over his left eye. Three sound ninja flashed in front of me. I leapt back far enough to see them all.

"Slingshot jutsu! Chakra strings!" I attached myself to one of them and flung forward and stuck a knife in his chest before flying up and repeating the action with another ninja. The last one came at me and managed to catch me in a genjutsu before I could stop it. I couldn't cast a genjutsu, but I knew how to dispel one. I put my hands together and built up some chakra then released the spell. I threw three throwing knives at him, I didn't miss. My aim wasn't astounding but it was above average. Meanwhile next to me Kakashi was moving at about twice my speed, taking down sound ninja all the while. His copy move was not only good but fast, a sound ninja snuck up behind him and stuck him with a star, I watched that shadow clone explode.

I leapt up high and spotted eight sound ninjas down below me. I threw four stars, but only two hit the target. I fell down and performed my summoning jutsu. My eagle took out three more ninja and sent a fourth running off. Just two left. I quickly defeated them with my strong taijutsu. I have only met three who can match my taijutsu. But word has spread around about this kid, Rock Lee, he's another I have to test myself against. I'll have to wait though, now isn't the time for tests.

"Hey new kid, head to the village, I've got this!" Kakashi said to me. Ignoring the fact that I'm not longer any kid, I ran back, well for me forward, into Kohana. I began to head towards the fifth Hokage's office, only seeing now that Naruto must have already gotten there and raised the alarm, because everyone is up and fighting, and those who couldn't, children and very elderly, were nowhere to be found. I saw Naruto using his Resangan on a large snake while he screamed one name.

"Sauske!" So that kid finally decided to come out of hiding. I ran hard forward and the four stars at Sauske. He turned quickly and blocked all of them with his long blade. I drew my own sword from behind my back and leapt at the black haired man. The battle became one of skill with the blade. I swung at his head and he ducked swinging at my feet, I blocked his blow kicking out. Sauske caught my foot and twisted it, I made my body follow the foot but used my other foot to kick him in the face and even with his sharingun his reactions weren't quick enough to stop me. My shoe sole connected with Uchiha's face.

Sauske was sent flying backwards. He spun and landed standing sideways on a wall now Naruto was charging at him with his Resangan. I threw two knives at Sauske which distracted him enough for Naruto to get in under his guard, but Uchiha wasn't still alive because has was stupid or slow. He managed to side-step Naruto's attack. Calling up a shadow clone Naruto flung himself back around at his former friend. Just then another voice calling Sauske's name cut the air. I looked down to see a woman with pink hair running at Sauske fist drawn back. I leapt forward as Sauske began to call on his Chidori. I made my own and the two balls of electricity collided in midair. I was blasted for far up and back that it took me a long time to see where I'd come from.

I made a summon and my eagle flew me back to the battle. Naruto had several shadow clones going and one building was completely destroyed. I threw another star at Uchiha who threw his own and deflected it. I got close enough to Sauske and kicked at his head. He ducked and punched out. I caught his hand and flung him at a building, Sauske summoned a giant snake to the field and landed on it. Naruto did his own jutsu and summoned a giant toad to the battle. My eagle flew forward as Naruto and his toad went towards the back of the snake.

"Don't show him mercy! He isn't Sauske Uchiha any longer, Naruto!" Despite my words Naruto still looked hesitant about actually really hurting Sauske. Instead of taking the opening Naruto held back and didn't attack his former friend. I leapt of my Eagle and threw an exploding tag on my chakra strings then attached the strings to Sauske. The tag exploded and he used a substitution jutsu. I landed tired on the top of an apartment. I was starting to run out of chakra. I do have my limits.

I'm not the one who can call on the Kyuubi's chakra. I shoved the thought out of my head and ran at Sauske again, intending to run him through with my blade. The Uchiha member was quick though and either blocked or dodged every blow I could send his way. Naruto used his Resangan again but Sauske matched him with Chidori, but Naruto's move was far stronger and stuck him in the gut. Sauske moaned and feel backwards, his chest was an angry whirl of skin. I ran at him to stab him in the neck and kill him, but I was stopped, this time by Naruto.

"Get out of the way Naruto!"

"No!" his voice sounded so demonic.

"I'm not asking! MOVE! I've gotta kill him!" I lifted my blade and kicked Naruto in the gut. He fell over and then flipped over planting a solid kick in my spine. He was far far faster then before. I looked and saw lengthened fingernails and fangs on the face with marks now more pronounced. He's starting to merge with the demon?

"STOP THIS! HE'S A TRAITOR! I'VE GOT TO KILL HIM THAT'S WHY I'M HERE! ORCHIMARU CAN'T HAVE ANOTHER NEW BODY! I WON'T WATCH AGAIN!" I yell and kick him. Naruto flips backwards and Sakura runs at me to strike me.

"You can't hurt Sauske-kun!" That's it, I've been holding myself back so I don't actually hurt them, but I'm don't planning with these kids. There not bad, but I'm a top notch chunnin and I don't have time to be playing with them anymore. I need to fill my mission!

"MOVE IT!" I struck her with my hilt and ran at Sauske who was starting to stand up. I swung my blade and Sauske saw it but couldn't dodge. Yet again however, Naurto blocked me.

"You won't kill Sauske-teme!" he spoke with that demonic glint.

"Naruto! Wake up! This isn't your team mate, besides what good can saving him do you?"

"I promised Sakura-chan that I would. I never go back on my word, that's my nido, my ninja way!" for that part his voice was less demonic, more human. I swung at Naruto and he ducked. I leapt high and threw four stars at Sauske, no matter what Naruto and Sakura say, I will kill him!
