Chapter 3-Into the Forest – the second round begins

In a pretty much abandon compound, a figure with a ducks ass shape of black hair, brooded fumingly, his name: Uchiha Sasuke and he was pissed off, because of one person: Uzumaki Naruto – now known as Namikaze Naruto, why: because of him, he an elite heir was removed from the ninja corps for being an accessory to attempted murder and it, got his chakra and bloodline sealed off, along with blacklisting himself from the stores outside of the compound, however that changed when a slithering voice said, "If you wish to have your power back and more, meet me in the forest of death," before the voice vanished.

Now with our hero Naruto, as he woke to the smells of breakfast cooking in his home, smiling widely knowing it was Haku – his second girlfriend and fiancé, cooking up a storm. 10 minutes later, Naruto joined Haku in the kitchen after he showered and changed into an outfit similar to yesterdays, except for the addition of combat boots modified with anti-slipping-anti-friction fuinjutsu seals and a pair of fingerless hiking gloves, which had three ports on each knuckle, plus one port on the wrist below the palm, the function of these ports are different depending on the bloodline power, Naruto sets (e.g. if used Spydermonkeys power, then the wrist port would allow him to fire out webbing like rope, while using another power would let him produce chakra enhanced blades from his knuckle ports.) while he his fight.

2 hours after a hearty breakfast of: sausages, bacon and eggs, Naruto and Haku headed off to meet Hinata and then made their way towards the Forest of Death. Standing outside of the gate to the forest, were the genin hopefuls whom were waiting for the exams to start, while others were waiting for their lazier teammates to arrive, which took them 4 hours to arrive, while Naruto, Haku, Hinata and Anko had arrived with 1 hour to spare they of course were given early instructions and were issued with their scrolls (an earth for Hinata and a heaven Naruto and Haku), then the formers began to strategize how they were going to pass this portion exam when Aburame Shino arrived, 10 minutes into the process and joined into the brainstorm (not the alien). Finally as the lazy dregs of the genin teams showed up, Naruto, Haku, Hinata and Shino had decided that it would be beneficial to form an alliance and team up against the other team, after all better to have 6(.5) on 3 odds in your favor, than to go 3 on 6 against you.

"Alright you maggots, this is what you'll be doing for the second task," calls out Anko as she holds two different scrolls, she how this portion of the exam works, while team 7 and 2/3's of team 8 simply watched while not really paying attention and had only giggled when an arrogant kid – had mouthed off and Anko scratched cheek in the process. When the entry speech was handled, the wavers signed and the scrolls retrieved, did the teams head towards their entry point of the forest and waited for the count down.

Meanwhile several hours after the start of the second exam, found a new energized Uchiha Sasuke, sporting his new cursed mark form of: Demonically scaled skin, wing shaped like webbed hands and the level three Sharingan, glided over the Forest of Death, scanning every nook and cranny, searching – no wait he was hunting, hunting the one whom wronged him: Uzumaki Naruto or as he calls him Dobe. Now back with Naruto, as he and Haku caught up with team 8, though Inuzuka Kiba had only agreed to the team up, out of being threaten by Hinata's castration technique, where they then headed for the tower in the center, thinking that their chances were high on passing if they waited close to the tower and ambushed the teams, heading directly for the finish line, while also looking out for ambushes themselves.

"Katon: Gōenka no Jutsu," was sounded by a sickeningly familiar voice, causing several pillars of fire to erupted from five fireball blasted spots around teams 7 and 8, catching them in an ambush by one: Uchiha Sasuke, the fires which were then strengthen by another voice sounding, "Fūton: Daitoppa," which summoned a great gust of wind, that fanned the flames into an inferno. So to protect his Allied team, Naruto slammed his bloodline filter commanding, "Diamondhead," then he ran threw 6 hand seals of: Boar, Tiger, Inu, Dragon, Rat and Snake, before slamming his hands to the ground yelling, "Shōton: Kurenai no Kajitsu," generating a wall of light green crystal, that rose out of the ground and formed a dome around Naruto and his friends.

Looking in the direction the fireballs come from (once theShōton jutsu absorbed the chakra of the fire), team 7 and 8 saw: a boy of a twelve year old stature of the new Uchiha Sasuke, whom was accompanied by a figure in her late teens, wearing the standard garb of the Kusagakure ninja, but Naruto could sense something off with her chakra, feeling it was more male chakra then female chakra and it was a Kami's lot stronger then a teenagers, before turning towards his friends and began commanding, "Haku-chan, Hinata-chan, Shino-san, you handle Sasuke-teme, while Kiba and I handle the kuniochi," while the three former nodded and jumped out of a hole Naruto made, Kiba on the other hand glared and huffed, "Who put you in charge?" but, "Can it Kiba, this is if I guess is truly Orochimaru, so you've always talked big, now's the time to prove it," was all he got, which had him grinning widely for some reason."Shōton: Shōtsume no Yaiba," called Naruto, as he dashes towards Orochimaru, generating three claws of clear green crystal from the knuckle ports of his glove, while Kiba ran threw hand seals, before bringing both of his hands together and yelled, "Shikyaku no Jutsu," as his stature became more canine, then as he leapt in the air, Kiba then commanded, "Tsūga," while he spun himself into a drill-like form, as Naruto had also leapt, but he then entered a Helicopter-like spin, as he reported, "Rasentsume no Kiba," but they missed their target, as the Hebi Sannin leapt backwards at the right moment, before using a replacing himself with a large log, with the jutsu: Kawarimi no Jutsu. Which he used, to escape the vacuum wave caused by the spinning jutsus.

With the Kawarimi no Jutsu cast, Orochimaru switched with a mud clone he had on standby and prepared his counter with, "Kuchiyose no Jutsu, Sōtōja," as bit his thumb and smeared blood along the snake tattoo on his arm, before running threw hand sign of: Boar → Dog → Bird → Monkey → Ram and then slamming his hand to the ground, making kanji web out from his hand and then caused a plume of smoke to form. From the plumes of smoke ejected twin demonic snakes, which rushed at their target: Inuzuka Kiba, however the snakes forgot 2 things: 1; they had 2 targets and 2; Naruto had just slammed his hand over the face of his belt buckle yelling, "Heatblast," then made the ram and tiger hand seals, yelling "Katon: Ni Hiken no jutsu," allowing his fists to erupted with intense bright blue fire, before using them to intercept the 2 snakes making puff away in a cloud of smoke. But that didn't deter the Hebi-Sannin, as he flipped threw: Boar → Dog → Bird → Monkey → Ram and then commanded, "Kuchiyose no Jutsu, Oni Hachi Hebi," summoning a demonic Hydra, but that was met with a, "Gao Gatsūga," from a newly transformed Kiba and Akamaru, whom was in the form of a giant 2 headed wolf, while Naruto used, "Katon: Hi Shunpo," to jet himself to the overhead position of Orochimaru and made several hand seals, before thrusting his hand towards Orochimaru yelling, "Katon: Bāningu Atakku," launching a large sphere of black fire, before retracting one hand with his fingers point to the sky and commanded, "Katon: Biggu Ban Atakku," throwing another large ball of fire, this time it was a blinding white color, the attacks hit the Hebi-teme dead on, as the diameter of the spheres were 10 feet in length and blasted while Orochimaru was only 3-4 arms length distance away from Naruto, the resulting Kablam, rocked the surface of the Forest and left a cylinder shaped crater, in its wake.
