A/N Ok I should probably explain why his blood is corrosive shouldn't I. I won't have a chance in the story so I may as well do it here. Assuming you read these of course, the people who don't can guess why his blood went up in smoke.

Ok the way it works is the yokai that constantly moves through his chakra network is obviously harmful but it can't hurt Naruto while it remains inside him, his healing factor preventing the damage. But once it leaves his body it goes out of control destroying the cells present. So if it was say a limb the limb would break down, much similar to the effects of passing through the Bijuu Barrier. And the yokai destroys anything it comes into contact with not just Naruto's cells; it destroys everything in its path until it runs out. Now onto the actual chapter.

A/N 2 – sorry if this comes up as a new chapter, it's just a fixed version. I had a few technical errors when I posted this before.

"Speech"

'Thought'

"Demon/Summon Speech"

'Demon/Summon Thought'

"Jutsu"

Chapter 6 - A Snake in the Grass

Team 7 darted into the forest, well Sakura, Sasuke and a shadow clone dashed into the forest. Naruto shook his head before darting off along the fence. When he reached the next gate he channelled yokai to his senses. He took in a deep breath and smelt something very out of place in the land of fire. It smelt like it had rained recently.

"Ame" Naruto whispered under his breath before following the scent trail. He quickly found two genin wearing strange yellow jumpsuits, apparently waiting for their third teammate. What struck Naruto as odd was that one had one eye covered and the other had both eyes covered.

Naruto just shrugged before dropping down behind them soundlessly. He channelled a bit of yokai into his finger causing his fingernail to become a claw. He quickly slit their throats and rummaged through their weapon pouches before finding a heaven scroll.

'Perfect now we have both scrolls. I should probably get another full set just in case.' He thought. He left the bodies before darting off after the nearest scent trail.

This time he found a team of older genin from Konoha, he was going to kill them but decided not to after all for now they were comrades. He quickly stole their scroll without them noticing and took off. He now had two earth and one heaven.

He spent the rest of the afternoon hunting a team with a heaven scroll.

'They were pretty strong for a minor village weren't they Kurama?' thought Naruto as he lay in a river washing the blood from his clothing and nails.

"Hmm, I suppose. For me all you ninja look weak." Replied Kurama.

'Good point' conceded Naruto.

Naruto got up and took off again, this time to reach his team before they set up camp.

He arrived in time to see his team trying to build a fire. Sasuke could supply the fire and Sakura was trying to supply the fuel but didn't want to strain something while carrying large amounts of firewood.

Naruto sighed before walking off and returning with a large dead log. He quickly turned his nails to claws and with a few slashes had reduced the log to smaller chunks.

"There enough wood now fire boy?" asked Naruto sarcastically. Sasuke grunted in response before lighting the fire. Naruto looked at the supplies brought by his teammates and couldn't help but wonder how they thought they could survive an exam like this.

Sakura had a few packaged salads and some fruit. Sasuke was worse though. He had gourmet food products that would cost at least a B rank mission per meal.

Naruto shook his head before creating a shadow clone and sent it into the forest. It came back a few minutes later with two large wild boars stacked onto its shoulders. Naruto nodded to the clone who then dropped the boars and dispelled. Naruto then cut up the boars and started to cook the pieces over the fire. Sakura's mouth was watering but she was trying to pay attention to her salad. Sasuke looked like he was waiting for something.

When the meat was cooked Naruto started to eat. Sasuke coughed. Naruto just looked at him.

"Need a cough drop or something?" he asked.

"I was waiting for you to give me my meat." Stated the high and mighty Sasuke.

"Oh sorry did you two want some. I'm not sure I can spare any. I mean have you seen me eat. I could devour both of these boars right now. But maybe if you ask nicely." Said Naruto. Sasuke grunted and looked away. Sakura looked like she was going to go back to her salad and ignore Naruto until her stomach growled, she looked guilty before swallowing her pride.

"Uh, Naruto could I please have some?" she asked. Naruto smiled before handing her a piece.

"Hn, fine. Can I have some Naruto?" strangled out Sasuke.

"I guess that's the best I could hope from you, eh Uchiha?" Nudged Naruto as he passed over a chunk of meat. The three genin ate peacefully. And set up a roster for when each member was going to take watch. Sakura had a smaller watch than the boys but that's because they didn't want to die in their sleep.

The next day finds team 7 jumping through the forest prepared for anything. Naruto had decided to keep his extra scrolls a secret.

Suddenly Naruto felt a burst of chakra coming towards him, before he could do anything he was blown away by a huge gust of wind.

-With Naruto-

Naruto got up and dusted himself off.

"Bloody Fuuton based Jutsu." He growled out. As he was about to go help his teammates he tensed. He turned around to find a giant snake staring down at him hungrily.

"Oh shi-" started Naruto before he was swallowed by the great beast. The snake had a smug look in its face, if that is even possible. Before it could slither off a red glow seemed to come from within it.

Before the snake could contemplate what the burning sensation in his stomach was he exploded into a shower of guts and yokai. Naruto looked around at all the guts and blood covering him and sighed. It was time to bring out the big guns of cleaning. His shirt was already ruined from the acids within the snake so he unleashed 2 tails of yokai and used it to dissolve the gunk from his skin and pants and totally destroyed the t-shirt and he was wearing. Leaving him wearing just his cargo pants. Luckily he had left his cloak in a storage scroll in his pants.

He unsealed the cloak and put it on before dashing to where his teammates where versing what felt like a Kage level shinobi.

Upon arrival he found Sakura unconscious and Sasuke close to it. Across from them was a Kusa kunoichi with half of her face melted off, revealing another face beneath.

"Hmm, Orochimaru of the Sannin. I am honoured." Said Naruto sarcastically. The kunoichi reached up and ripped off the face that once belonged to a poor genin.

"Well it seems my information is out-dated Naruto-kun. You look nothing like the orange prankster that Konoha loves to hate." Mused Orochimaru.

Naruto grinned, showing off his sharpened canines, before making the come gesture his hand.

Orochimaru smirked now before charging at the genin. At first Naruto fought using his own power but recognized he was being played with. With a growl he activated the first tail and started to fight.

His increase in speed and strength took Orochimaru by surprise and resulted in Naruto landing a solid punch to his gut. Rocketing him back into a tree.

Orochimaru looked down for a second before smirking and massaging his throat. Naruto thought he had lost his mind until a snake came out and coughed out a sword.

Orochimaru gripped the sword before darting forward faster than Naruto could see. A sickening squelch was heard and Naruto looked down to see his right arm resting on the ground. He looked to what was left of his arm, the part still connected that is, and sighed.

"I really like my arms Hebi-pedo." Said Naruto as he bit his remaining thumb causing a bit of blood to pool on the thumb.

"Kyuchiose: Two Tails" in a poof of smoke a large fox with two tails appeared. He was about the same height as Orochimaru.

"Sorry Kyuubi-sensei, I needed the other tail for repair." Said Naruto as he peeked over at Sasuke to see him unconscious. 'That was close' thought Naruto.

Kurama just bared his fangs before charging Orochimaru, not even bothering to waste his time with talking. It had been a while since he had been able to move about freely.

With Naruto, he was focusing on the last tail of yokai he could summon up for use. At first nothing happened until a red outline of an arm appeared. Slowly the bones started to grow and hang in the yokai. Naruto watched in fascination as the arm slowly regenerated. He spared a glance to where his arm had fallen to find a smoking puddle.

'Oh that could prove bad for the environment.' Thought Naruto as his arm finished.

He clenched his fist a few times before jumping back into the fray. Orochimaru saw the boy enter and knew things were going to get difficult. He ducked and dodged the best he could but the demon and container worked together perfectly.

He saw a small opening and took it.

"Gogyo Fuin" cried Orochimaru as he plunged his fingertips into Naruto's stomach. The Kyuubi disappeared and Naruto slumped to the ground. Orochimaru smirked before calmly walking over to Sasuke and Sakura who were waking up.

Orochimaru's neck stretched out and brought him close enough to Sasuke to bite him. A sickening scream wrenched its way out of Sasuke's throat as the cursed seal burned its way into his skin.

Sakura watched in horror as Sasuke collapsed and Orochimaru left. She looked around and grabbed her teammates, dragging them to a small cave formed by some tree roots. She went to set up traps in the area before returning to check her teammates, mainly Sasuke.

-Within Naruto's mind-

Naruto found himself in one of the cave portions of his mind. He started to wander towards the open areas but found a wall covering the exits. He could see through small cracks and could hear Kurama screaming faintly.

At first he tried to overpower the seal but couldn't. Sighing in annoyance he started to walk around the cave until he found himself in a room he hoped he wouldn't have to see ever again.

He found himself in the sewer, to be precise, the seal cage.

But instead of a giant demon in the cage sat a boy in an orange jumpsuit, curled in a ball crying.

Naruto walked over and shook him to be shocked to find it was him prior to Kurama changing him. Before he could do anything he was knocked back by a punch from the boy.

"WHY DID YOU FORGET ME!" screamed the younger Naruto.

"WHY DID YOU TURN INTO WHAT THE VILLAGERS ALWAYS SAID? YOU TURNED INTO A MONSTER!" continued Young Naruto.

"You used to think about how you could make someone change to see your point of view but now you think of how to make them bleed out instead." Said Young Naruto.

Naruto looked on in shock, before the shock turned into anger.

"What do you mean, they walked all over us and then you rolled over. You let them trample you. I stand up for myself. I am better than you ever were." Replied Naruto. shook his head before standing up properly and taking a fighting stance.

"I'm the real Naruto, you're just a demonic knock off!" cried out Young Naruto.

Naruto took up a fighting stance as well then realised he couldn't feel any yokai, the seal from the snake was making this fight more even.

"Let's finish this then. Let's see who's the better Naruto. The wimp or the powerful." Said Naruto as he charged forward, his moves matched by young Naruto.

A/N And that's a wrap. What a chapter. Sorry for letting Orochimaru live but it was necessary, sadly. This story won't be updated for a while thanks to my new schedule. Umm so yeah, not much left to say except I hope you're all happy, it is midnight for me as I upload. This is the dedication I give my fans, well not really dedication more like I don't wanna forget what I was going to write.
