Lord Pain: Hello! I'd like to personally thank all of my reviewers. You make continuing this story worth it in the end! Now then, today I would like, Camior, Shadow, Vengeance, and Kyuubi to tell us a little about themselves. Camior you go first.
(Said boy walks to the stage and gives a slight bow.)
Camior: Alright, my name is Dirge Negrado, also I'm known as Camior in my village. I am Sixteen and the twin brother to Shinobi. My likes are simply my two sibling's, Shinobi and Shadow. My dislikes are the ninja who murdered my mother, and especially my father... My hobbies... Are none of your concern... My Dreams... I'm not getting into that with you.
(Lord Pain frowns as then Camior sighs.)
Camior: Something about me, I wield the sword Rebellion left to me by my father, just as my brother Vergil wields twin short sword's named after my grandfather's personal weapons. My skill with Rebellion is unmatched, even compared to my brother Vergils skill with his twin blade's or a Katana.
(Lord Pain nod's and then motions to the next character.)
Shadow: Yo! I'm Shadow or Janet Negrado daughter to the Onikage and Heir to the Anti-form Bloodline. My likes are my village, and my brother's especially. My dislikes are fool's who attack other's just because of the way they were born or who their parents were. My hobbies... Hmmm... I like to draw... My dream for the future is to be the next Onikage like my dad!
Shadow: Something about me... The Nara and the Negrado families have had a fierce rivalry since before Konoha was even formed. The reason is because of the fact that one clan is a mutation of the other. Most believe that the Nara's "Living Shadow" Bloodline mutated from our "Anti-Form" Bloodline. The reason they think this is because of the fact the Nara's Bloodline seems like a weaker version of our Anti-Form. However no one is actually sure which clan came before the other.
Lord Pain: Right, thanks Shadow. Next up, Naruto's inner self, Vengeance.
(A being in black with chain's on his arm's walks out and glares at the audience.
Vengeance: My name is Vengeance. I have no likes, nor do I dislike anything. My hobbies are also non-existent. As for dreams... Well... I want to destroy the people who made my other self suffer as a child... Something about me... I'm a dude's inner self Designed to control the powers of his bloodline, WHAT DO YOU THINK! Talk to someone else already I'm sick of talking to you...
(With that Vengeance leaves and Lord Pain frowns.)
Lord Pain: Right... Oh well next up, everyone's favorite Fox, The Kyuubi no Kitsune!
Kyuubi: Heh heh. Hi. I'm Kyuubi, never had another name really, I like Pranking people whom I don't like, and learning new thing's... OH! And I love Ramen! I dislike Traitor's, back stabbing bastard's, long winded speeches, and anyone who gets in between me and Ramen. My hobbies... Recent event's have forced me to take up 'Sleeping In' as a hobby... Dreams... To finally get out of the kit once and for all...
Kyuubi: Something about me... Well... As vengeance said I don't want to talk to you anymore...
Lord Pain: (Mumbles)Bitch... Well now that that's over, time for the Disclaimer Guy's!
Camior: Lord pain doesn't own anything from the original Naruto Manga or Anime.
Shadow: He only owns the OC's, Original Jutsu, and situation within this work of fiction.
Vengeance: He is making no money by doing this so don't sue him for it, you wouldn't get anything anyways.
Kyuubi: He's always spending too much money on his manga to pay you anyways...
Lord Pain: (Mumbling)That was mean... Oh well on with the show.

(Academy, Room 53...)
Ibiki, the first proctor had just made everyone sit down in a desk to take a written test. Naruto was sitting down Next to Hinata, the three void nin were in the back, Ino was behind Sakura, with Shikamaru a couple seat's to her left, Chouji, Sasuke was two row's behind Sakura and then to the left, Kiba and Shino were both fairly isolated compared to the other's. Tenten was directly below a light with some mirror's attached to it, with Lee in the middle and just below a light fixture, and Neji he was off to the side of the room away from them. Gaara was near the front, Temari off near the middle on the right side, with Kankuro sitting a few seat's behind her. The last Nin of interest were the Akuma Nin and Kabuto. Kisara was sitting next to Kairi in the far right row near the middle of it, and Aryssa was unlucky enough to be behind Kiba.
Kabuto was in the back next to one of the void nin and was getting bad vibes from him. Shinobi was sitting behind Temari his mask's eye's staring into nothing, Camior was sitting beside Tenten his eye's closed as he pulled his Hittai-Ate/ visor down over them the horn's on top lining up along his head, and last Shadow was in the back left hand corner, beside a pair of muscle bound freak's in mask who dressed like Kabuto. Other wise the whole room was packed full of different Genin all Chunin hopefuls. Then around the entire room sat about twenty Chunin all watching them like hawks. The Proctor had spread them all out so much that Naruto was a little annoyed. Crow had told him about an Information gathering assignment so he could figure out which one this was pretty well...
'But the problem is even though Hinata will use her Byakugan the guy's watching us will still see and mark me for it... I've got to think of something... Maybe my Kamigan can help... No, I've been using it too much as is. I need to do some thing's on my own so I don't become dependent on my bloodline...' Naruto thought to himself then groaned half slumping while he glared at the face down sheet of paper in front of him.
"Papers face down until I give the signal. Now listen up." Ibiki called out to the group who looked at him impatiently. Ibiki wasn't fazed and then picked up some chalk and placed the tip of the chalk on the black board before them. "There are a few big rules that Pertain to this test. I'll write them on the black board and explain them all, but I'm not taking questions, so listen carefully. I'll only say this once." The man called out and Naruto frowned. 'Once more, I am SOOOO glad Niisan told me about the mental part's of the exam... This guy doesn't seem like he kid's around with anything... Maybe torcher... But then it's Sadism there...' Naruto thought to himself while the other nin all seemed to be shaking now as Ibiki turned to begin writing on the board.
"Rule number one! Each one of you starts out here with ten Points. The test has ten questions each worth one point. For each question you get wrong, we subtract a point from you." With that Ibiki finished writing and moved to allow everyone to see the board still speaking. "Get all ten right and you retain the ten points you have. But if for example, you answer three question's incorrectly we take your ten points... Subtract one point for every wrong answer... and your total drops down to seven." Ibiki explained to the class. 'In other words, it I get all ten question's wrong, I'll end up with no points at all... Damn that sucks...' Naruto thought to himself annoyed.
"Rule number two... This written test is still a team event. Passing or failing will be determined by the sum of the points held by all three members of each cell..." Ibiki explained and Sakura slammed her forehead into her desk. "The object is for each team to have as few deductions as possible from its joint thirty-point total." Ibiki continued and Sakura shot up shouting at the proctor with a raised hand.
"WAIT A SECOND! The whole concept of the starting points and the deductions is hard enough to follow... But what is this "Team Total" you're talking about?" She questioned and Ibiki twitched at her volume.
"Did you not hear the part about "No questions"? We have our reasons. Shut up and listen. You might learn something." Ibiki told the pink haired banshee, who brought her arm down and lowered her head slightly. "This next bit is crucial. Rule number three: If, during the course of the exam, a candidate does anything out of the ordinary... In other words, anything that leads the proctors to determine that he or she has cheated... We subtract two points from each member of the cheater's team." Ibiki said as a cruel smirk came to his lip's at the fearful looks on most of the Genin's face's. "Exactly! In all probability, some of you will run through your entire allowance of points during the test. If so, you'll be failed and asked to leave." Ibiki then added as a good deal of the Genin began to become nervous.
'I get it... There are more ways to lose a point than just missing a question.' Sakura thought to herself with some sweat on her forehead. "I'll be looking over your shoulders when you least expect it. If you let the Proctors catch you cheating, you'll bring yourself and your friends down! If you aspire to become Chunin... If you want to be the best Shinobi you can be... Then you better start acting like you already are!" Ibiki said a slight curve to his lip's as he saw all the nervous faces. 'Get a hold of yourself Sakura. It's not going to be a problem... Naruto is smarter than he always let on... We should be able to retain enough point's to pass... Besides Sasuke and I'll will easily get through this even if he does fail.' Sakura thought to herself smugly.
"One more thing... If any individual loses all ten of his or her points, that person's entire Cell, regardless of how the other two members do... Will be disqualified!!" Ibiki said darkly and Sasuke and Sakura both hoped that Naruto was indeed smarter than he let on before... 'Oh shit... I'm sooo screwed... Wait... He said if you got question's WRONG! He said if you CHEATED! He never said you couldn't leave the test blank! Of course! If the test is blank and thereby nothing is wrong, it's like you instantly pass because you've got all your point's from the beginning it doesn't matter! Yes! That's how I'll pass!' Naruto thought to himself smirking despite himself as Ibiki declared that they all had one hour to finish. When he gave the signal everyone instantly turned their paper's over and began working, or in some cases waiting.
Naruto looked over the question's and his eye's widened only so slightly as he saw them. 'What the fuck? These are way out of any Genin's league... Their's no way anyone in our age group could figure these out... Much less get them right... Well I'm glad I figured out one of the easier route's to getting passed this without cheating...' Naruto thought to himself and sat back to wait for the tenth question. As he was thinking this, Sakura was figuring out that very few of the people there could actually answer the question's on their own, and Sasuke figured out that the purpose of the test in general was to not get caught cheating. As he did, Gaara glared at Kankuro who nodded slightly, the young boy with the gourd on his back then concentrated and sand started to surround his left hand.
As that was happening Akamaru was looking around and barking the answer's to a smirking Kiba. Shino used his insect's in a similar way also gaining the answer's easily without getting caught. Tenten used a mirror with wire's attached to her hand to get the answer's to Lee and her self. Dosu used the Rhythm, Order, and Number of stroke's from the guy in front of him in order to ascertain the correct answer. Neji used his Byakugan to see threw someone to the other side and copy off them. Sasuke used his Sharingan to follow someone's movement's to get the answer's. Hinata also used the Byakugan to get her own Answer's as the test continued looking over at Naruto who seemed to remain cool as a cucumber even as a Kunai passed him and landed in another Genin's test, thus stopping all of the other applicant's.
"W-what was that for?" The Gennin asked one of the proctor's who told him coldly.
"Thats five strikes... And you're out!" The man stood gaping mumbling to himself as the proctor glared at him lazily. "Take your teammates with you. Out of this classroom. Now." The proctor ordered and three seat's moved the three genin in them leaving the room. As soon as they were gone the other's all got back to their test's, Hinata then looked at Naruto with a raised brow, and he smirked and shrugged. She got the hint and got back to work wondering why Naruto wasn't answering any of his question's.
As the test continued Sakura finished first and felt proud of herself. Just then Ino decided that it was time to make her own move and used her families specialty, the "Shintenshin no Jutsu". She then took over Sakura's body, her own body falling asleep, and proceeded to memorize Sakura's answer's to the question's before leaving Sakura's Body. Shikamaru then used his "Kagemane no Jutsu" to attach his Shadow to Chouji's and give him the answer's, which like Sakura, he was easily able to get. "On your feet number 102. You fail." With that, several of the team's all began to fail, soon after barely twenty five minute's were left and already, fourteen team's were disqualified with more soon to go. However, Ibiki had his eye's on a few individual's. The first was Gaara, who had two finger's to his left eye, next was Shinobi and Camior, both were just laying back without moving a single muscle. Then came the voice Nin, they all seemed to move in sync with one another, and last was Naruto, the boy who was leaning back without a care in the world it seemed...
'Seems one of them figured out the second way to pass the test... A good Shinobi not only needs to be able to acquire information, but to think outside of the normal peramiters given to them, when under pressure. And that Gaara kid... I don't know what he's up to... But he isn't even sweaty, he's perfectly calm in the eye of the hurricane, those two Akuma-nin are the same... Those Garandou-nin on the other hand are unnerving. Not once have they spoken, moved other than to answer the question's, and even then it was all at once and immediate... Almost scarily in sync considering I put them several seat's away from one another... What the hell are they?' Ibiki wondered while subtly glaring at the Garandou-nin. Gaara however was still concentrating on his left hand, soon an eye made of sand appeared from it and used his "Daisan no Me" Crushing the eye and allowing it to get into another Genin's eye's before the eye reappeared and he was able to wright down the answer's he scouted from it.
As they were busy with that Shadow was smiling to herself after she saw Ino's performance. 'So the Yamanaka's done with her pet I see. I better make this fast then, don't need pinky screaming when I use my "Walking Shadow Jutsu" Shadow thought to herself then concentrated, her eye's turned completely yellow before glassing over, as her body got a glazed over look. And then out of the ground at her feet a shadowy figure with glowing red eye's appeared. The red eyed shadow walked along the shadow's, using the mirror blocking some light to get to the same row as Sakura and then it slithered up her leg, distorting it's form until it opened it's red eye on her Neck and looked down at the test, scanning the answer's then moving away from the pink haired girl, and to Camior.
'So Shadow's using her Jutsu... Good... The sooner this damn Test is over the sooner we can complete the mission...' Thought Camior as the shadow took control of one of his arm's and hand and then started to right with it, quickly finishing then making it's way over to Shinobi and doing the same to him before returning to Shadow. She closed her eye's, opening them once more to show her normal blood colored hue's and smirked as she began to right down the answer's herself. As they did this Arissa smirked and focused her chakra before creating a genjutsu, her eye's briefly glowing red. She then got up and walked in front of one of the proctor's, waved her hand and grinned as she walked next to Sakura and looked at her answer's. She then modified the Genjutsu and both Kisara and Kairi suddenly saw the answer's in front of them. They both smirked and started to right over what was on their paper's as Arissa walked back to her seat and started to right down the answer's herself.
"Excuse me." Came Kankuro's voice as he raised his hand.
"What is it?" One of the Proctor's questioned of the boy.
"I've got to go to the bathroom." Kankuro told them and was soon handcuffed.
"Of course. One of the Proctors will accompany you." Ibiki said and Kankuro smirked.
"Why not?" he asked and walked out of the room the "Proctor" Following him with a rope... Gaara glancing at him as he left before returning to his own work. In the men's bathroom Kankuro stood with the "Proctor" behind a wall of sort's. "They think they're so slick." Kankuro said to himself with a smirk. "And yet they never even noticed that there's been one extra Proctor this whole time! Pretty sad!" Kankuro said while some of the Proctor's face crumbled. "Nice going, Karasu!" Kankuro said before letting out a sigh. "... Now then, give me all the answers in order , starting with number one..." Kankuro said chuckling darkly as his puppet did as told...
Back in the classroom, even more of the team's had been disqualified from the test, the only one's remaining, were also the only one's who Ibiki knew would be tough to crack. 'Now that we've weeded out the worse case of the slackers... Lets move on to the most important question. Forty five minute's have passed. The time has come.' Ibiki thought to himself with a frown on his face. "All right! Here it comes. Get ready for the tenth question." The large scarred Proctor suddenly said as everyone then stopped writing. Temari frowned wondering ware her brother was with the answer's to the test. "And before we get to the question itself... I'm adding one more new rule." Ibiki said darkly to the class his eye's shadowed by his Hittai-Ate. Just then Kankuro and the "Proctor" walked back into the room and Ibiki smirked. "Heh. Looks like you're in luck. The time you spent playing with dolls hasn't been completely wasted." Ibiki said and Kankuro flinched ever so slightly, did her know about Karasu? "Don't worry about it... Sit down." The scarred man ordered and Kankuro made his way back to his seat dropping something onto Temari's desk which she took quickly without anyone noticing.
"Let me explain... That this rule... Is absolute..." Ibiki said darkly looking at all those still gathered in the room. 'An absolute rule...? Why do I have a bad feeling about this?' Naruto wondered to himself. "First... You must Choose... Whether to accept or reject this tenth question!" Ibiki stated and Naruto frowned in thought.
"Ch-CHOOSE?" Temari shouted sitting up and glaring at Ibiki. "What happens if someone doesn't accept the question?!" She demanded of the scarred man who remained silent for a short time, closing his eye's.
"If you reject the question and don't even try to answer it. You'll lose all your point's immediately..." Ibiki said opening his eye's to glare at everyone in the class. "... And fail! And both of your teammates will fail right along with you." He told them with a cold tone to his voice.
"SAY WHAT!" Shouted one of the nin.
"THEN WHY WOULD ANYONE CHOOSE TO REJECT IT?" Demanded the nin beside of the first one to speak.
"Because... Of the other rule." Ibiki said darkly and several of the Genin started to sweat. 'Oh come on. What more can he add?' Sakura wondered to herself with wide eye's. "If you try to answer the question... and you get it wrong... You will never be permitted to apply for the Chunin exams ever again." Ibiki told them shocking all of them and making Kiba growl.
"YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS! THAT'S REDICULOUS!!!" He shouted Akamaru barking with him in agreement. "There are plenty of other Ninja here who've sat for the Chunin exams more than once already!! We know there are!" The dog boy exclaimed as Naruto looked deep in thought, trying to remember everything that Crow taught him about being a "True" shinobi...
--------------------
(Flashback No Jutsu)
Naruto was seven, and Crow was about nine. The two boy's were standing in front of the third floor of Naruto's Apartment building. It was also the only floor that wasn't completely destroyed or in need of serious repairs... Well okay it did but it was better then the other two floor's. "What are we doing Niisan?" Naruto questioned of his brother and Crow grinned behind the wrapping's over his mask and handed something to Naruto.
Naruto raised a brow as he looked at the box in his hand's and looked questioningly at his older brother. "Open it Naruto." Crow stated and Naruto did only to raise both his brow's. The first item was what looked like an old-fashioned spring loaded Grappling hook designed to be secured to someone's arm. Then was about five simple looked Shuriken only they were in an X shape and curved at the end's. A silver bracelet of some kind with a black gewel in it. Last was a single Kunai that was longer than normal, colored black and didn't reflect any light, with a red edge and marking's on the blade, a curved blade making it look like a mini-katana or Tanto, and blue leather wrapped around it's handle.
"Niisan what are these for?" Naruto questioned and Crow eye smiled to his Otouto and then pulled a scroll from behind his back.
"Those Naruto, are the only tool's a "True" shinobi will ever need if they are good enough." Crow said and Naruto frowned.
"But I've seen Ninja with more stuff." He stated and Crow nodded.
"True Naruto, But what about Jounin? I know you watch them so tell me what do you see them carrying?" Crow questioned and Naruto frowned.
"Some Kunai, Shuriken, and... Scroll's... That's about it Niisan." Naruto stated and Crow nodded. "But what about this Grappling Hook and Bracelet? What are they for?" Naruto questioned and Crow eye smiled.
"Alright. The Bracelet has a special seal embedded into that gem. The Gem will change color's based on the alertness of an enemy in the area." Crow stated and Naruto's jaw dropped.
"WOAH! How's it do that Niisan?!" Naruto questioned excitedly and Crow snickered.
"Sorry Otouto, even I don't know that. It was from my mother's clan. I've only got a few of them left so don't lose it." Crow stated seriously and Naruto nodded his head. "The Seal also has a second function as well Naruto. When you wear it the jewel allows anyone else wearing the jewel to speak with you simply by thought." Crow stated and Naruto grinned. "Yeah it's the coolest thing ever I know." The older boy said eye smiling as Naruto nodded his head vigorously.
"So is it mine?" Naruto questioned and Crow shook his head no. "Huh... Why not?" He questioned with a small pout and Crow chuckled to himself.
"Because Otouto. Those are only for training. The seal may work in real life situation but it only has about a ten foot radius at best. Not good for long mission's that have you against multiple target's. It can only "Lock On" to one single person at a time, and then only the person closest to you. I don't think you should become to attached to something that's so limited." Crow explained and Naruto pouted while looking at the Bracelet.
"Then what's the grappling hook for?" He asked and Crow smirked.
"Now that and the other thing's you can keep. The reason for the Grappling Hook is cause you can't always chakra to walk up wall's or other thing's. This allows you to scale building's without your chakra flaring and alerting anyone to your presence." Crow explained and Naruto shrugged and placed the bracelet on his left forearm and the grappling hook on his right arm. He then put the Kunai in the back of his belt and the Shuriken in his pocket. "Alright Naruto. My family on my mom's side were all "True" Ninja. They practiced the art of Silent killing. They were so good at what they did that no one ever knew they had been there till it was too late." Crow said and Naruto raised a brow.
"What does that have to do with anything Niisan? And why are we even here anyway?" Naruto questioned and Crow sighed.
"I'm going to be teaching you the way's of the true Shinobi otouto. Just like my mother taught me. She used a specially designed Genjutsu, combined with specially designed target's to train me. All of the Target's are really Scare crow's, with special seal's on them to make them appear real when the Genjutsu is activated. Obviously I wouldn't normally be able to use a Genjutsu, however this is similar to the Chakra Shell Jutsu." Crow said and Naruto tilted his head to the side.
"So... I'm learning the art's of the True Shinobi you always go on about?" Naruto asked and Crow nodded his head with a smile. "Oh, okay. That sound's cool Niisan!" Naruto said with a grin and Crow eye-smiled.
"Alright then Naruto. The first step is for you to put some Chakra into that bracelet and then walk threw this door." Crow stated while pointing to a large door behind him. Crow then put on a bracelet and then sat down, his leg's in a lotus position. Naruto channeled chakra into his bracelet before taking a deep breath and walking threw the door's and into his new type of training...
(Flashback No Jutsu, KAI!)
--------------------
'Stealth and Cunning, The first tools of the true Shinobi... Darkness and Shadows, The true Shinobi's greatest Allies... Knowledge and Heart, The Shinobi's ultimate weapon... Strength and Honor, The true Shinobi's greatest power... Niisan, said that the True Shinobi should remember these lesson's above all else. To be a Shinobi is to be the wind... To live the life of a Shinobi is to be no one... To take the life of another, is the only life of a Shinobi... To be a tool, is to be weak... But why do I feel like I'm missing something from Niisan's lesson's...?' Naruto wondered to himself staring at Ibiki unblinkingly.
"Just your rotten luck. I wasn't making the rules in past years. I am now. Come back and reapply next year, and the year after that." Ibiki said darkly a smirk on his face. "Anyone who has any doubts would be smart to reject the tenth question right now." Ibiki stated still smirking darkly and Naruto frowned. 'Yep... Defiantly a Sadist at heart...' He thought to himself glaring at Ibiki while trying to remember what he felt he was forgetting...
'Talk about a no-win situation... Even if one cell member rejects the question, then all three team members fail for the year. If anyone accepts the question and can't answer it... He'll be stuck at Genin level for the rest of his life! Heads you win, tails we lose!! No sane person could make such a choice!!' Sakura thought to herself biting her lip and Naruto and Hinata both looked at each other worriedly.
"Ready?" Ibiki questioned of the class. "Then let's begin. Those who choose not to accept should raise their hands. Once their number has been confirmed, they will leave the room." Ibiki stated as the class seemed to tense all at once. Naruto lowered his head in thought, his hair shadowing his eye's even over his head band. 'This is crazy, I need to become stronger, and I can't do that if I remain a Genin for life... But I don't want Sasuke or Sakura to have to fail because I give up... oh Kami-sama why do you hate me?' Naruto thought to himself angrily as the person beside of him then raised his hand.
"I-I... I quit! I'm rejecting the question!" The man said standing up and Naruto looked at his shaking form. "Genna!! Inaho!! Please forgive me!" The man said while shivering and Naruto looked at him sadly.
"Number 130! Number 111! You fail right along with him." One of the Proctors said and two more nin got up, their seat's scrapping along the floor. Soon they all left the first man cursing his luck as he walked away. Soon five more men quit on the spot, ending their team's chances of going on further in the Cunin exams. As Naruto continued to debate in his own head he suddenly steeled his resolve and glared at the Proctor for this exam. 'He thinks I'm gonna break just cause of some stupid test? That's it! I almost forgot this damn test is half mental half practical. The practical is either information gathering, or as I figure to think outside of the normal perameters of any given situation. The mental is to endure psychological torture! If I'm right then this is just to make sure everyone left is worthy of becoming a Chunin!' Naruto thought to himself and smirked slightly.
"Do you actually think this little stunt of your's scares anyone?" Came a voice from the back and Ibiki looked to see Shadow glaring at him with a frown on her face. "Listen here and listen well bub! I'm no quitter, it takes more than a piece of shit proctor like you to make me crack!" She stated sitting up and glaring at Ibiki who frowned at the girl. "I don't run from anyone or anything! And I don't give a kami fucking damn whether you like that or not you scarred up freak! I'll take this question and shove it up your ass before I give up, Dattebayo!" Shadow shouted and Sakura sweat dropped as did Shinobi and Camior.
'Is it possible... ANOTHER FEMALE DOBE NARUTO!?!' Sakura wondered glancing at the girl who sat back with a smug smile on her face.
'Uggh... She's as insufferable as ever... And she really needs to reign in that temper... She's just made our job a helluva lot more difficult with the number of team's she just encouraged to stay...' Shinobi thought to himself as Camior slammed his head into his desk moaning about needing a new sister... Ibiki frowned and looked around the class before shaking his head.
'Seventy-eight of them are still here... Hmmmm... That girl is interesting I'll give her that... But she needs to work on her mouth... Still, she's dispelled everyone else's doubt's with her little speech. It's more than I expected but... There's no point in dragging it out any longer thanks to her... No one else will quit.' Ibiki thought smirking despite himself then looked to the other Proctor's who all nodded their head's to him. "So, Everyone who is still here..." Ibiki said looking at all the Genin before grinning to himself. "... You've just passed the first exam!!!" He exclaimed shocking several of the Genin and Making Shadow fall out of her seat and gape while Camior and Shinobi sweat dropped.
'Don't tell me... She didn't even figure out that this test was half psychological torture... Why did we have to have her on our team...' Shinobi wondered to himself as Camior was glaring at their sister annoyedly.
"What do you mean, "Passed"? When did that happen? What about the tenth question?" Sakura questioned looking at Ibiki confused. The scarred man grinned making a few of the Genin shiver as it didn't look right on him.
"There is no tenth question... At least not beyond the whole "Accept or Reject" thing." Ibiki explained confusing more of the Genin while Naruto smirked glad he figured it out or he would have been the one shouting at Ibiki.
"Hey! Then why did we have to suffer threw the other nine questions?! That was a total waste of our time!" Temari shouted at the man angrily and Ibiki chuckled to himself.
"There was no waste. Those questions had a purpose, which they've already served." Ibiki told the girl and she questioned him of what that was. "Our goal was to test your skills... At spying!" He stated and Temari looked confused. 'He seems like a completely different person...' She thought seeing as Ibiki was still grinning and happy looking.
"... Our skill's at Spying?" She questioned and Ibiki nodded his head.
"Remember the rules at the beginning? You pass or fail as part of a three-man cell. With that rule, I assured you with the fear that anything you did wrong... Would bring your teammates down with you." Ibiki explained as some murmers came from the remaining Genin. "However... The questions are beyond the level that Genin could be expected to handle. So most of you having reached that same conclusion... Had only one way of retaining your point's... By Cheating." Ibiki said while a smirk came onto Sasuke's face. "In other words... We set up the test on the assumption you'd cheat. And, to ensure there would be suitable targets for you to cheat from, we snuck in a pair of ringers... Two Chunin who already knew all the answers." Ibiki said as two of the remaining nin smirked and looked around making Naruto frown as he saw the one right in front of him. 'I had the fucking answer's right in front of me, eh... Kami-sama really hates me today...' He thought to himself with a frown as Ibiki then reached back behind his head.
"Of course anyone who cheated in a clumsy or obvious way... Failed." Ibiki said while removing his head band and all the Genin eyed his head, seeing the multiple scar's there. "Because there may be circumstances where being caught in the act of espionage can cost you more than just your life. You pay in ways that can be taken from you little by little, time and time again, when many lives hang in the balance." Ibiki said still smirking. 'Burn scars... Puncture wounds from where screws were used... Long slash marks... He's been tortured!!' Sasuke thought to himself as Naruto and Hinata both came to the same conclusion.
'Cool... I bet his hands are even worse! But that's what he gets for being dumb enough to get captured. It'll never happen to me!' Dosu, the bandaged sound nin, thought to himself smugly while looking at Ibiki. Gaara looked at the man unfeelingly however he felt something and glanced over towards whatever he felt. 'Something here... It scares mother...' He thought to himself silently looking around the room.
"The information you obtain can't be trusted... If you can't keep your presence secret from the enemy." Ibiki said while retying his Hittai-Ate around his head. "Learn that and learn it well. If you bring back Intelligence from a suspect or a compromised operation... You're doing your enemies' work for them, putting those you serve in danger. That was why we maneuvered you into using Espionage skills to cheat. It was the quickest way of weeding out the students who skills aren't yet up to snuff." Ibiki explained and Temari furrowed her brow.
"... Okay... But what was the deal with the tenth question?" She questioned and Ibiki smiled widely not appearing as scary as he did before.
"Ah! The tenth question... Was the first real test on the exam." Ibiki said confusing them all once more as he closed his eye's in thought. "Let me explain... The tenth question... Was a choice between two options... That were both difficult and dangerous. Those who chose to reject were failed, and their friends along with them. Those who chose to accept and couldn't answer the question... Lost any chance of ever even trying again." Ibiki explained opening his eye's. "It was a nasty, unfair, no-win set of options." Ibiki said while the class remained silent. "So why did I present them? Let's suppose you all go on to successfully attain the rank of Chunin. You are assigned to steal a vital enemy document... Knowing nothing about the skills, deployment, or military preparedness of your foe. You may have to cross a territory that has been heavily mined and set with traps. Now... Do you accept your mission? Or do you reject it... Rather than place your own life, or the lives of your companions, in jeopardy? Could any Chunin get away with only taking on the safe jobs?" Ibiki questioned looking around the class room to see if any would try to answer before doing so himself.
"Of course not! No matter how dangerous the risk... There will be missions that you cannot decline. A ninja must demonstrate valor that inspires those around him... Helping all to overcome their fear. This is the talent that we most value in the commander of a Chunin cell! Those who can't gamble with their own fate... Who would trade today's certain risk for tomorrow's uncertain future... Never taking the chance that lies before them... Are weaklings who make only weak and easy decisions. In my opinion they don't belong in the ranks of the Chunin at all." Ibiki bellowed looking over the group as Shadow grinned smugly and Shinobi and Camior both sighed in annoyance with their sister. "By choosing to accept... You answered the almost, insoluble tenth question correctly. If you keep that spirit, you can probably conquer all of the many doubts and difficulties you'll face." Ibiki said then smiled while looking at those still remaining.
"You've passed the first hurdle. Part one of the Chunin exams is now concluded. I'll pray you fight the good fight!" Ibiki finished and suddenly something crashed threw the window and Ibiki mentally sighed as a banner appeared blocking him from view. The sign on the banner read. 'Here comes The Second Exam Proctor: The lovely and (Still) Single, Anko Miterashi!' 'She's early again...' He thought one of his eye's twitching. Meanwhile the student's were gaping as Kisara and her team groaned...
"Alright, I'm the second chief examination officer... Anko Miterashi!! Time's a-wastin', People. Let's go!!" Anko shouted then raised her arm. "Follow me!" She exclaimed and Naruto held a hand to his face trying to stop his laughter reading the slightly revised sign with tear's in his eye's. 'How the HELL did she make Tokubetsu Jounin? She's fucking out of her mind and stupid as... IS THAT NIISAN!?!' Naruto thought then inwardly questioned seeing said boy under one of Anko's arm's glaring at her with righteous fury.
"Put. Me. Down. Anko..." He growled at the girl who stuck her tongue out at him.
"Your early again..." Came Ibiki's voice from behind the Banner and Anko's head tilted to the side slightly with a half embarrassed, half annoyed look on her face. 'WHY THE HELL DOES SHE GOT CROW-KUN UNDER HER ARM LIKE THAT?!' Were the thought's of both Ino and Kairi as they glared at the Jounin woman. "By the way... What's with the kid?" Ibiki then asked as Crow twitched slightly at being called a kid. Anko blinked then had a barracuda's smile on her face.
"Found him peeping." Was all she said and Crow growled at the older girl.
"No... I found YOU peeking..." Crow growled and Anko blushed before whistling innocently slapping her hand over Crow's mouth, while Ino growled at her.
"Don't listen to him, he's just trying to get out of his punishment... Wanna help with it Ibiki?" Anko said then questioned while Crow struggled to get her hand off his mouth. Ibiki frowned while looking at the girl then told her flatly.
"No..." Anko just shrugged and looked over the group before frowning.
"Ibiki! You passed twenty-six teams?!" Anko asked still holding the struggling Crow. "Obviously you went way too easy on them." Anko stated factly as the scarred man twitched slightly.
"This year, it appears that we have an exceptional crop..." He stated and Anko looked at everyone while Naruto tried to keep from busting out laughing as Crow tried to get free from Anko.
"Yeah right. I'll cut down the number by half before the next test is done." Anko said with an evil grin however a few people were having trouble not laughing when Crow finally freed his mouth from Anko's hand.
"HEY YOU CRAZY ASS WHORE! STOP TRYING TO SUFFICATE ME! I DIDN'T DO A DAMN THING! NOT MY PROBLEM YOU FELT LIKE SPYING ON BOTH THE GUYS AND GIRLS TODAY!! BUT WHY THE HELL DID YOU HAVE TO GRAB ME AND BRING ME HERE!? I THOUGHT YOU INVITED ME TO WATCH WITH YOU, NOT GET KIDNAPPED!!" Crow shouted making Anko turn a rather interesting shade of red as Ibiki raised a brow smirking. The whole class minus Ino and Kairi busted out laughing at Anko's expense as any chance of her intimidating them was shot right to hell...
"Err... Okay... Let's just go... Follow me..." Anko said feeling humiliated as Crow continued a long list of thing's he'd seen her do and several of the class laughed or, in some cases, got a nose bleed.
--------------------
(Outside the Forest of Death...)
Crow sat murmering about demonic snake whore's and how they shouldn't be allowed near innocent perverts. The rest of th class were still trying to recover from the thing's he'd listed off a few having nosebleed's, other's a large case of the giggles while Anko just had an eyebrow twitch in annoyance. "This is the arena for the second exam: Training ground 44. Also known as... The Forest of Death!" Anko said grinning and Crow snorted.
"Ain't that dangerous..." He muttered and Anko grinned once more.
"Hey, ain't that the truth!" She stated and Crow rolled his eye's.
"Well, it looks pretty scary." Sakura mumbled looking at the forest and Naruto snorted.
"Pft. This place isn't that bad. Niisan had me train here from eight to twelve." Naruto stated factly and Sakura's eye's widened.
"Hmm. Pretty cocky ehh brat?" Anko said before flinging a Kunai at Naruto that cut his cheek slightly. She then appeared behind the young Genin and licked some of the blood off, and though he didn't see it, one of Hinata and Kisara's eye's twitched. "It's tough guy's like you who are always the first to go. Spilling all that rich, red, lovely, luscious blood..." Anko said while Naruto just blinked blushing as Crow frowned. 'Damn... He gets all the luck...' The masked boy thought to himself as Anko then gripped another Kunai from within her coat and quickly brought it up.
"Your Kunai knife... I believe you dropped it." Came a slithering voice from a tall genin who's tongue had extended to present the woman with her knife, a straw hat on shadowing his/her face. He/she also wore tight black pants that seamlessly combined with his/her sandals, long black hair, a short sleeve shirt that was long like a loincloth in front, a large purple rope tied around his/her waist and a black collar that reached up his/her neck. Anko graciously took the knife with a smirk on her lips, still licking some blood from her own lip's.
"Don't just stand behind me... Radiating blood lust... Unless your in a hurry to die." Anko said cheerfully while the nin's gaze lingered on Crow. The boy's eye's narrowed dangerously a small amount of Killing Intent leaking from him as his muscle's tensed.
"I'll try to keep it under control... But the sight of warm, fresh blood really makes me crazy... And I was already revved up... From losing a strand of my precious hair." The nin said and Crow's eye's narrowed dangerously as the Grass-Nin turned on his/her heel and walked back to his/her team...
"Looks like we have a hot-blooded team on our hands this time out! Heh... Should be fun..." Anko said to herself while Naruto quickly got away from Anko rubbing his cheek still annoyed that Kyuubi didn't heal anything as small as a minor cut or scratch. "Alright. Before we begin the second exam... There's something I have to hand out." Anko said quickly producing a large handful of form's. "These are consent forms. Everybody has to sign one." Anko said and Sakura blinked.
"Why?" She asked and Anko grinned.
"We want all the details covered before the first deaths occur. Sign before you go in, so we can't be held liable. You wouldn't want me to get in trouble would you?" Anko asked sweetly and Crow rolled his eye's as she tried to look innocent. "First, I'll explain what the second exam entails. Then you can sign the forms. With the other two members of your cell, bring the forms to the hut behind you and submit them." Anko said still cheerfully then looked around. "Got that?" She questioned and didn't wait for a response. "Now, about the exam. To put it simply... It's a no-holds-barred survival test." She stated and several of the Genin blinked.
'Survival eh... Another pain in the-neck exam! Blehh!' Shikamaru thought to himself with an annoyed frown on his face. "Let's start with the topography of this training ground. I'll explain the rest later." Anko said holding a map up for all the genin to see. "Training ground #44... Is bordered by a circular perimeter, interrupted at regular intervals by forty-four locked gates. There are forests and a river... And in the center is a tower... About ten kilometers from those gates. Within the confines of this carefully delineated area, you're going to undergo a survival test. During the course of that test, you may any ninja art or weapons you have at your disposal." Anko said then let the map roll back up. "Its a kind of fight-to the-death version... of "Capture the flag"... Or in this case, "Capture the scroll." Anko said while putting her map up.
"Scroll?" Asked one Genin and Anko grinned.
"Exactly!" She said holding out two scroll's one with a black border, one with white. "There's a "Scroll of heaven" and a "Scroll of earth"... And your objective is to acquire both scrolls." Anko explained and Shinobi frowned under his mask. 'Why no Scroll of Hell? It would be more of a challenge if there was three scroll's... Besides... I like Hell more than heaven...' Shinobi thought to himself while his brother thought something similar to him. "There are seventy-eight of you here. That's twenty-six three man cell's. Thirteen teams will start out with a heaven scroll... And the other thirteen will start with an earth scroll. But you need both scroll's to pass." Anko explained to them all before taking a breath. "So your objective is to hold on to your own scroll, get your hands on one of the other kind... And then bring them both... To the tower at the center." Anko explained as all of the Genin figured only half or less was going to pass this next exam.
"Also, there's a time limit! You have 120 hours in which to complete this exam... Exactly five days!" Anko explained and Ino sighed while Chouji complained to her about food. "Food's your problem, not mine. The forests are full of nature's bounty. Of course they're also full of man-eating animals, deadly insects, and poisoness plants." Anko said offhandedly as Chouji slumped. "There's no way as many as thirteen teams will pass this. As the time shortens, the trials will come harder and faster... With less recovery time for any mistakes, accidents, or injuries. You'll be surrounded by enemies at all times, so you'll have to sleep with one eye open. So in addition to those who die in attempt to defend or capture a scroll... Some of you are bound to succumb to exhaustion, exposure, starvation, and dehydration." Anko said then grinned at the Genin holding one finger up.
"Now lets talk about the rules... And what offenses you can be disqualified for! Obvious, the teams that fail to reach the tower in time... As a three man cell, carrying both a heaven and an earth scroll... are out." She then held up two finger's still grinning. "So is any team that loses a member, whether to death or to severe injury." Anko said and placed her hand's in her pocket's. "And under no circumstances... Can you leave the forest before the time is up. No recess. No time-outs." Anko stated and then smirked. "Also... You're forbidden to look at the content's of the scrolls until you're inside the tower." Anko said and Naruto raised a brow.
"What happens if we sneak a peek?" He questioned making Crow snicker.
"Maybe something good, probably something bad, it's half and half, you'll never know!" She stated out smirking at the young boy. "If any of you make it to the Chunin level, there will be times when you'll be entrusted with top-secret documents... So consider this a test of your trustworthiness. That's all the explanation you get. We'll trade one scroll for every three form's. When you've got yours, choose the gate you want to start from. Everyone will begin at the same time... Oh, and one final piece of advice... STAY ALIVE!" Anko shouted then puffed and appeared next to Crow. "Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a small teen boy, I need to make cry!" With that Anko and Crow both vanished in a plume of smoke as Ino growled angrily.
"OH SHE BETTER RUN!" She shouted angrily and Naruto snickered. The team's all got their scroll's before walking to their assigned gate's.
"I wonder what she's going to do to Crow?" Naruto wondered as they sat at a gate. Soon all of the teams were finished getting their own scroll's and moved to their own individual gate's. Else were with a megaphone in hand, Anko was sitting on Crow's back as the boy shouted indignities at her as loud as he could struggling to get out from underneath her.
"Alright! Let's start part two of the Chunin exams start... NOW!" With that, the gates opened and all the team's ran quickly into the forest jumping from tree branch to tree branch. "Heh, now the real fun begins..." Anko said as she sat on Crow then frowned. "Now then, ware's Orochimaru at kid?" She questioned and Crow chuckled darkly.
"You should know Anko... He's hiding in plain sight after all..." Crow said then vanished making Anko frown.
"I hate it when they do that..." She said and then sighed and walked towards her favorite Dango shop to get a quick bite while the test continued...
--------------------
Naruto felt someone following him and frowned. Sasuke had the scroll, while that would seem like a good idea, Naruto had a bad feeling about something. "Sasuke, I'm going to go check something out." Naruto shouted and Sasuke nodded as he and Sakura continued on their own course and Naruto stopped standing in the tree's a frown on his face. "You might as well come out, I know your there..." Naruto stated coldly as the tree's around him shivered. He then looked to his side as a single blur stopped beside him. Blue eye's met the blue eye slit's of Shinobi's mask, as the two looked at one another with nary a word at first.
"So... You sensed my presence then... Fine work, Naruto-san..." Shinobi said softly and Naruto frowned at the other genin.
"You didn't bother to try and hide your chakra, you wanted me to notice you..." Naruto said factly and Shinobi chuckled to himself. "What do you want?" Naruto questioned eye's narrowed on the boy who turned his head and looked upwards as the sun was covered by the clouds...
"It's going to rain..." Shinobi said ignoring Naruto for a few moments... "As for what I want, Naruto-san... That is none of your concern..." He stated then flipped to the side and placed his hand's on the handle's for his two Wakizashi's. "And for now... I have more pressing mater's to attend to than simply speaking with you Naruto-san..." With that Shinobi pulled both his blade's out of there sheath's and Naruto's brow raised, one was pitch black, the other was pure white... "Now then... Last of the Uzumaki... Show me... Your true power..." He stated getting into a fighting stance his blade's facing backwards pointing outward. Naruto took one of his own the blade's on his gauntlet's extending...
"I take it there's no talking you out of this?" Naruto questioned and Shinobi chuckled to himself, the smirk clear in his voice...
"You got that right..." With that Shinobi charged forward swinging one of his blade's at Naruto. Naruto blocked using the blade of his left gauntlet then caught the other blade with his other gauntlet. "Hmmm... Your not bad..." Shinobi said then surprised Naruto as he flipped kicking him in the chin and forcing him back. "But not good enough..." Shinobi said still upside down his feet hanging onto a tree branch above him making Naruto growl. Naruto grabbed a Kunai from his case and flung it at Shinobi who hmphed, and then released his control on his chakra falling down while he also shifted his weight to land on his feet and move backwards catching the Kunai in hand and flinging it right back at Naruto. Naruto quickly ducked the Kunai barely missing his head as it then embedded itself into the tree behind him.
"Whoa... Your really good..." Naruto admitted and Shinobi just chuckled and held his blade's once more, the blade's of his twin wakizashi pointing to his sword's. Naruto smirked and then concentrated some chakra and got into his own stance. "But... I'm just getting warmed up..." Naruto said as then his Purple Chakra started to surround his feet, spinning around his feet like a mini tornado. Shinobi was oddly calm as he simply crouched down getting ready for any attack. "Demonic Claw Style!" Naruto stated as his chakra darkened even more making Shinobi raise a brow. The red head's hand's then formed claw's, the boy's kanine's all lengthened into fang's, over his body a Chakra shell shaping scale's appeared, and his Kamigan activated. 'So then he's going to really try and fight me...' Shinobi mused then smirked as the boy ran forward at otherwise blinding speed's but the masked Genin simply caught the boy's claw's with his blade's. He then quickly moved his right foot forward and swept Naruto's feet out from under him.
Naruto grunted as he hit the large branch he had been standing on and glared at Shinobi. "As I said before Naruto-san. Your skill's may impress your friend's... But I am not so easily impressed by a few fancy moves..." With that Shinobi lunged at Naruto with a second kick knocking the boy back and into the tree. Shinobi then ran forwards towards Naruto who frowned and flipped up then placed one foot on the tree and crouched into it. As soon as Shinobi was close enough Naruto launched himself forward spinning forward.
The Two Genin hit one another and fell off the tree still fighting with one another as one of Shinobi's blade's was knocked out of his hand. Shinobi spun in the air attempting to kick Naruto but the boy blocked with his arm's. Shinobi then brought his Wakizashi down on him and Naruto used his other arm to bock the bade. Shinobi inwardly frowned as he then used his remaining hand and punched Naruto knocking him back and ending the fighting as Shinobi landed on his feet, Naruto on his back. Naruto flipped back to his feet and glared at Shinobi who held out his empty right hand and the Wakizashi that Naruto knocked out of his hand flew right back into his waiting hand.
"What the hell are you..." Naruto questioned softly so Shinobi wouldn't here him as the strange aura around the boy made it nearly impossible to read his feeling's.
"That is for you to find out another day Naruto-san..." Shinobi stated darkly and Naruto's eye's widened. The masked nin didn't wait for Naruto to get back on the defensive as he rushed forward swinging his Wakizashi at him and Naruto ducked rather than falling for the same trick and punched the nin in the stomach with both arm's. Shinobi skidded back away from Naruto before hitting a tree with his back. Naruto then ran at him and jumped up into a roundhouse kick, connecting with the nin's head and sending him spinning to the side.
Shinobi however put a hand onto the ground before he hit and flipped himself to his feet. Shinobi then flung his blade's into the air and rushed towards Naruto. He quickly swept the red-head's feet out from under him then kneed him in the chin. Grabbed him by the head and flung him back and into another tree as his sword's cam down and he caught them in hand. Shinobi then ran at Naruto once more fieghning to the left and attacking from the right cutting Naruto along the stomach then kicked upward and nailed the genin in the chin.
Naruto spat out some blood that pooled in his mouth and glared at Shinobi as he looked at him from behind his mask. "Is this the best you have Naruto-san? I was told to expect more of a challenge from the last of the Uzumaki clan..." Shinobi said simply and Naruto snarled. The young red-head then flipped back to his feet and dropped down flinging his left leg out and sweeping Shinobi off his own feet making him land on his back. Naruto then brought his foot up and swung it down at Shinobi who rolled to the side as the foot connected and broke the ground. Naruto frowned and then punched the ground, Shinobi rolling away again before flipping back to his feet.
"You're very good Shinobi-san... But I can't be kept from my team too long..." Naruto stated about to leave but Shinobi ran at him sheathing his sword's and punched him in the gut knocking him into a tree.
"No Naruto-san... You don't seem to understand... You are not leaving here until one of us is beaten..." Shinobi stated and Naruto growled. The two then heard a loud boom and felt the wind shift for a split second and Naruto's eye's widened.
"That came from the direction of Sasuke and Sakura!" Shinobi looked in the same direction and nodded his head.
"So it would seem... Now it appears you have no choice but to defeat me... If you wish, to see your friend's alive again at least..." Shinobi said darkly and Naruto growled and kicked off the tree into a spinning roundhouse kick which Shinobi blocked making Naruto's eye's widen as Shinobi then grabbed him by his jacket and flung him back into the tree. "Do you really care so little for your comrades, that you can't find the strength to defeat me?" Shinobi questioned while falling into another Taijutsu stance. Naruto growled, glaring at Shinobi his mind cursing his luck to have this freak as his opponent. 'This guy... He's unreal, he even landed on his feet from the height we fell from, and I could barely do the same... I'm not even wearing my damn Restriction seal's for Kami-Sama's sake! What is he?!' Naruto thought to himself and ran forward kicking at Shinobi and the boy punched him in the face knocking him to the ground. "It appears... You have nothing left to give... Naruto-san..." Shinobi said then placed his foot on Naruto's chest...
'Dammit... I need more strength... I need more power! I HAVE TO BEAT THIS GUY AND SAVE SAKURA AND SASUKE!!' Naruto thought to himself and heard a deep voice speak into his mind... 'Why?' The voice asked him in it's rumbling tone. 'Why would you wish to save such fool's? What have they ever done for you?' The voice questioned and Naruto growled. 'Their my teammates! My friend's! I won't allow them to be hurt if I can help it!' Naruto roared and felt something start to cover his body... 'Alright then... If you're so sure... TAKE MY STRENGTH!!' The voice shouted and Naruto's eye's bolted open to look at Shinobi, his whisker mark's becoming more defined and his hair becoming more like fur than hair.
Shinobi was then knocked off of Naruto as a massive amount of Chakra flung him back. The masked Nin flipped in the air once more and landed skidding back on his feet as Naruto stood up, Kamigan eye's glaring at him. 'So... Now Kyuubi comes to play...' He thought to himself as Naruto then roared and ran forward even faster than before and kicked him in the chin sending the boy flying upwards. Naruto then jumped into the air and brought his fist down on Shinobi's face and plowed his hand and Shinobi's head into the dirt below.
Naruto Growled as he removed his hand from Shinobi's face and the mask he had been wearing cracked... Then broke and Naruto saw some of the boy's true face. He like his brother had silver hair, his eye's were closed at the moment, but he had some sort of mask over his lower face that was blue and black...(Think Sub-zero's Cryo-mask.) Naruto shook his head however and looked in the direction the explosion had come from earlier and quickly ran to assist his friend's...
"Damn Ver, you got your ass beat." Came Camior's voice as he and Shadow came out of the darkness and Shinobi chuckled to himself and sat up his cold blue eye's opening.
"Sorry Dante, but it will take more than him to beat me." Shinobi stated and Camior glared at his brother.
"That's not my name anymore Ver... Unlike you, I don't want my two name's associated with one another..." Camior stated darkly and Shinobi chuckled to himself once more.
"So... Is he strong?" Shadow asked and Shinobi sighed.
"He's strong... But not strong enough... He'd easily be beaten by all of us combined." Shinobi stated and Camior grinned beneath his mask.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Camior stated and then jumped into the tree's to give chase. Shadow looked to her other brother who seemed to stare at the sky, his silver lock's falling down to cover his face and ear's.
"Vergil?" She questioned softly and the young man lowered his head to look at his right hand. "You alright?" She questioned moving towards her brother who looked at her with one eye.
"Yes... I believe so sister... Better now than I was before." Shinobi stated and lifted his hand up to slick his hair back, some spiking outward. "Now the real game begins at last." Shinobi stated taking his Hittai-ate from his neck before tying it around his forehead and pulling it down to cover his eye's like his old mask. "Come, let's catch up with bigger brother, before he does something stupid..." Shinobi stated and Shadow giggled as they both jumped back into the tree's and gave chase... This exam was far from over however... And the real fun was only just beginning...

Okay. Now someone asked me about the two Shinobi Nation's I made last Chapter. Void of the Land of Death, and Demon of the Land of Shadows. These are not like Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, or Lightning Nation. In the Naruto Manga there's multiple Nation's but not all of them attended the Chunin exam's in Konoha. I believe that there is at least twenty Shinobi nation's and village's. The only difference between them and Konoha is that their not as LARGE as Konoha and it's rival's. However, Hidden Demon is a "Great" Shinobi Nation, it's just been moved from Whirlpool country which was originally Hebungakure, meaning Crow and Naruto are both descendant's of the Hidden Heaven village.
