Chapter 9 Deadly Forestsnakes

"well what do you know, its a pile of lumber, with a fence around it" was all Naruto said behind his back as all of the genin came closer to training ground 44. Of course Naruto knew were it was, as well as what was inside, so it wasn't hard for him to be nonchalant. But that didn't mean he couldn't have a little fun in the end.

As expected from a Jonin, Anko appeared behind him with a kunai in hand, while licking from the cut on his cheek that appeared out of nowhere. Well he just smirked at her antics.

"well Anko, please don't. It tickles a bit, but its annoying" he said, without a hint of cracking. Of course snakes love to play with their prey, what Ive heard. "oh really, then I guess I should just continue" she 'taunted'. She then noticed that he was still smiling.

"Actually its just that if you continue, we might get bonded for life through a bloodbond, and I don't know about you, but I don't feel for a marriage right now" he joked, even as he was dead serious, but boy she wasn't prepared for this. Shocked over what could happen if she was to continue, she suddenly got new power. "Oh but that wouldn't be so bad, wouldn't it Naruto-kun" She said as she slowly pulled away, still smiling. Oh and if you ask how she reached up his 6'8, he was leaning towards a nearby tree with her hanging under a branch. Yes upside down.

Now if we turn attention to the group of gennins, most of them were baffled at how quickly their examiner had moved from her spot in front of the group, to be hanging under the branch, that in less time it took them to focus on the tall blond that spoke to them. While Anko walked back to the crowd, she noticed a note in her hand.

'don't think that you caught me by surprise, Anko. You know far better than anyone what I can do.
If you would like to, we could scare them even more, before we let them lose into the forest.
Ps don't go ballistic, but I think Orochimaru is in the examin group'

At this she snapped her head towards the crowd, malice in her thoughts, gritting her teeth. Taking a long deep breath, she opened her eye's noticing that everyone had suddenly started to back away from her. Now relaxed, intent on finding the traitor, she got to work.

Scaring the living hell out of everyone.

After a, well interesting speech, a scary introduction, and an even more frightening exam-ground, she at last gave out the flyer's. Something about a injury disclaimer. Oh well, no pain, no gain they say.

About a half hour before they were going in, Naruto's luck suddenly took turn for the worst. He meet team 7.

"Oh look its the dobe, why are you here, shouldn't you just give up already cause your nothing in comparison to the great Uchiha clan" guess who. Of course Naruto did the only thing he could do. Turning to the Uchiha, he pulled down his glasses to his nose tip and look at him questioningly.

"Eh, did you say something, Uchiha-san, cause I didn't catch what you said, just something that sounded like 'balls'. So if im right about your question then, no im not gay" he said still looking down at him questioningly, pushing up his shades, shrugging then walking away, leaving a very pissed of team 7, well 2 steam boilers, and a ice-machine. Of course 'someone' couldnt take the joke, charging towards the red-clothed blond, kunai in hand.

Noticing this, he waved of Anko's attempt to stop Sasuke. When he saw her smiling, he waited until Sasuke was an inch from 'cutting' him. But what do you expect from a lightning bolt. Well something shocking, and thats just what he got. When the kunai touched the trenchcoat, he was thrown backwards by a massive electric shockwave, poring right through the kunai, into his body.

Lying there on the ground twitching, while everyone had turned their heads towards the commotion, who all were in shock, no pun intended, when the Uchiha was almost electrocuted. While a shrieking Pinky ran to 'her Sasuke's' aid, a bonechilling voice rung through the area.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, Sasuke, Sasuke, Sasuke. How pathetic wasn't that. I mean, charging right into an enemy, letting rage control you, and falling for something as simple as a Rai bunshin, pity I have to let you live, cause you will probably only cause misery everywhere you go, SasUKE." as the voice disappeared, Naruto appeared next to were he stood before. Walking up to the now slightly twitching Uchiha, he only shook his head, walking away. 'why wont he give up, cause after that little chat with him he should at least have understood what would happen...'

Flashback no Jutsu

In the Hokage's office 4 people were present. Sandaime Hokage, Hatake Kakashi, Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke. Sarutobi looked at the ensemble, and just sighed, took a deep breath and began.

"Uchiha Sasuke, do you know why you have been summoned" Getting a small 'hn' as an answer he continued. "you have been summoned because you, during the wave mission, went against a superiors orders, attacked a A-class missing nin, and jeopardized the entire missions success and the teams survival. By doing such you put your teammates lives at risk, without thinking of the consequences." of course, mister high and mighty didn't flinch at this, causing a frown on all the others. Sighing the Hokage rubbed the bridge on his nose.

"Sasuke, no matter what you feel, you cant just do things like that, cause you will not survive if you continue" the blond bluntly put it. Now the Uchiha was angry. "Oh yeah, like you would know, dead last, your nothing compared to me, you are nothing and that you always will be" he growled, holding his hand on his kunaipocket, though suddenly he was on the ground twitching. Turning his head around, he saw that the blond now sat on him, with a blade against his throat.

"Oh, so im pathetic, then I guess you were born brain dead. The level im at is like Itachi's, a league in its own" he said, now seeing the fury Sasuke's eyes. Turning his attention to the Hokage he spoke. "Hokage-sama, I would advise that the Uchiha, because he cannot be punished, because of the council's decision..." at which Sasuke's smirk came to view, large of arrogance "...i request that his Shinobi-license is revoked on a unknown time period, until he learns how he should behave" now that blew a few fuses.

"WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE YOU FUCKING SON OF A BI..." of course he was silenced when KI flooded his sense's. "Finish that sentence and you'll find yourself on a long stick, pocking out of your ass, hands and feet chained, from the highest point of fall in konoha. Right above a pit of some of the most deadly snakes I can ask for from Anko-sensei, and the most blunt and rusty spikes that can be found around here. Am I clear, cause otherwise, you could chose your other alternative and lose your shinobi-license, period" he said with a chilled voice, shutting the Uchiha's trap.

"I guess its alternative number 1 then, Hokage-sama. How long?" was all he asked as he disappeared, to reappear on the couch watching the scowling Uchiha get back on his feet, glaring at him. "Until the chunnin exams, im guessing the council won't go any further" was all he got as an answer. With one arm over the back of the couch, he just looked down and shook his head, snickering.

"Oh well, better than nothing, but you better know Sasuke, that if you in any way threaten me or any other konoha nin's safety, in your crusade for power and glory, know that, I will personally crush you and your mind if you do. You are nothing but a pathetic hypocrite, if you say that you want to avenge your clan, by killing your brother" he said, as he stood up and walked out ignoring the killer glare from the Emo. Halfway through the door he stopped.

"Sasuke, if the Uchiha clan was so great, then why did Itachi do what he did. Cause I know from personal experience of the man, that he never wanted power more than family. Either the Uchiha drove him mad" he leaned his backwards slightly to the side so he could see Sasuke with his left eye "or someone impersonated him" 'or maybe someone gave him an order' he thought to himself, reminiscing over the thought(remember that thought, 'cause its important, believe it). Walking out of the door, and closing it, just as loud thunks were heard.

"moronic gay lunatic, yep its the truth, no doubt about it" he murmured to himself getting weird looks from the secretary, like WTF.

Flashback no Jutsu Kai

Shaking his head, he collected his thoughts. Shrugging he walked away, still hearing the shrieks of a certain pinky ringing. Getting his scroll, he looked down on its marking. 'Earth, huh. I guess I still have my feet on the ground ne, hehe' he thought as he left the small box shaped outpost. Walking towards his gate, a pair of hands grabbed him around his waist. "hi, Tenten" Chuckling over the antics of the person behind him as he heard a disappointed sigh, he turned to the side and leaned his head backwards, to get a look at his 'captivator', with a big smile on his face.

"So, how is my little weapons-mistress today" he asked the bun haired girl who was smiling at him. She wore a pink shirt with brown pants, and standard shinobi sandals. Hanging on her tights were scrolls, next to holsters, and other weapons. She, of course wore a very sweet smile on her face, you know, the 'treat me like a child agin and I will castrate you and force you to eat both of them' smile. Yes quite the fright, but not for him.

"So, did you make them as I asked" the blond just asked, as the arms released his waist, as she got to work looking through her pack. After a minuet she pulled out a scroll and a small package. "Dad was able to create the blades just as you asked, and the bullets are as good as you can make them. Just watch were you shoot those things, dad and I almost died when one went of without warning." she said as she handed him the things. Smiling he bent down to her level.

"What would I do without you guys. Well I would probably buy from another shop" this making her scowl "but I don't think anyone would be able to create such masterpieces like you guys" he said as he kissed her cheek, which now was rosary red. Chuckling he rose, put the package in his pocket, and the scroll in the empty right-legged scroll-holder. "i hope we see each other soon, but not on the battlefield, may the path always be clear for you, my friend" he said as he walked away, while noticing the Hyuga, who was glaring at him in the background. Shaking his head he went to his gate, now prepared for this trial.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Well, are you going to give up, or do I have to get rough on you" he asked the iwa-nins that had been chasing him since the beginning. But the thing was that Naruto had been allowing them to catch up, just to find out why. But he had a good guess, what it was about.

"No fucking way, we wont let you get away, now that we have a chance for payback for what the Yondaime did" one of the iwa nins yelled. Naruto just looked at him with raised eyebrows, then settling for a loud sigh.

"Why, oh why pops, did you have to have so many friends among the other villages. I mean was it any doubt when, you slew the invading Iwa forces, with one technique" he spoke, right into the air. Well it got the Iwa nins riled, as they charged with doton Jutsu's."Doton: Doroma." (Earth Shot) was heard from the shortest Iwa nin, as he spew a large ball of earth at him. Being as quick as the blond was, he had already moved before the nin even was done with his hand seals, and replaced himself with a Blood bunshin. When the dust rose, they saw that the blond was dead, starting to cheer, but were interrupted when the leader's head suddenly had a hole through his forehead, while blood splattered on his team. Not having time to interpret the incident, the rest died in the same fashion.

Naruto, clever as ever had sent a bunshin in his stead, luring the Iwa nins into position. As the nins had started to cheer that they had 'killed' the son of the Yondaime, Naruto just shot the leader from his position in a nearby tree, with his trusty sniper rifle, which had a large sound dampener on it, sitting indian style while shooting. He then placed the rifle on his lap, inspecting it, then smiling, for what he remembered about the rifle.

He had been reading about a group of people from the old world in one the ancient folders in the library, who called themselves by numbers. The greatest assassins of their time, were there was one man who became a legend. He was rumored to have used the same weapon Naruto used, because of how easy it could be concealed. He didn't know how he looked like, but there was a name in the folder, Mr 47, A class assassin and hitman, what ever that meant.

Returning to reality, he shook his head, sealed the rifle, got up, streatched because he had been sitting like for a friggen hour, yawned... then disappeared, and reappeared among the dead Iwa nins. Searching their bodies for equipment, he found what he needed, a heaven scroll, together with some kunais, tags, rations and other things. Walking away, he turned around, and burned the bodies with a Katon Jutsu, just in case.

Moving through the forest, he noticed that there was a chakra spike nearby. Pulling down his visor, he scanned the premises around him. He saw that there were tree weak blips to the north-west, together with a very strong blip, seemingly someone who was attacking. But when Naruto started to get a feel for who it was, he was taken aback at the feel. Snakes, and lots of them.

"Orochimaru" was all that was heard in the area, after which the blond disappeared, possibly to where the enemy was.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Oh is this all you have, Sasuke-kun, I was hoping for something better." Team 7 had been attacking the kusa-nin for a while now, and yet it seemed like she still had more to give. Using everything from kunais and shurikens, to katon Jutsu's to ink creatures, the kusa nin withstood everything the team threw at her. Sasuke had been scared to death, after the kusa-nin had used a genjutsu that showed them how they would die. Rattling and shaking, he had, with the help of Sai's determination to fight, finally mustered enough courage to fight. After trapping the nin with wires, he had used Katon Ryuuka no Jutsu to burn the nin.

Sadly it didn't work. Hearing a maniacal laughter from the place the kusa-nin was, they were frozen yet again. "it seems like you have the skills, Sasuke-kun. You will become the perfect vessel when you grow up" he said as he pulled off his face, showing a pale skinned man, with the features of a snake, with slitted eyes and nostrils. "My name is Orochimaru, and I bestow upon you a gift" he said, just as his neck started to extend. When he reached the Uchiha, he plainly bit him, making him scream in agony, during and after, as a mark started to appear on his neck, after which he fainted from pure agony.

"Kukuku, tell him when he wakes up that he should seek me out if he wants power, and I know he will, just as I..." He didn't get to finish that sentence, as Sakura saw him jumped backwards as were he stood before suddenly exploded. Were he stood before, now was smoking crater. Looking around, she saw him take a step backwards as he seemed to have noticed someone in the trees.

Looking were he was looking she saw him. Standing there on a branch crunched with one hand in front of him on the branch as balance, with a long black coat that flapped in the wind, long blond hair that flew in the wind as well as standing straight up in spikes, with red shades covering his blue eyes, was looking down on them. In his hand was a peculiar item that seemed to fume out of a thick barrel that he was pointing straight up. Knowing who it was she just couldnt keep quiet.

"Naruto, thank god your here" was all she yelled. Hearing this, Naruto looked over to the Uchiha, Sakura and Sai, taking note of their condition, as both Sasuke and sai were out and Sakura was to injured to fight. Shaking his head, he sealed the rifle away again, and stood up.

"Orochimaru" he spoke in a calm voice, looking down on the Nuke-nin. "My orders are to either capture you, or in the most plausible situation, eradicate you" he said as he took of his shades, to reveal his eyes. He then spoke again "Rejoice, scum, as you are the first to feel my power beyond level 6, oh and im impressed that you evaded that attack so easily" just as a breeze blew his coat, flapping it with the wind. Of course, Orochimaru wasn't impressed by the boys acting.

"Well im impressed that you dare to challenge me, and besides, kukuku, no matter what level your on, your no match for me" after which he disappeared, moving as fast as he could to kill the intruder. But when the blond caught his hand, as it was to knock him out and punched the snake straight in the face, knocking him away, he was stunned.

"if thats all you have, I don't even have to go beyond level 5 to beat you, I just don't get it how a weakling like you could become Sannin. I guess that they were in bad days and didn't care if you sucked" the blond said, clearly taunting the Snake. Not falling for it, but irritated at the audacity of the brat, the Sannin started to make seals, while Naruto jumped away.

"Hidden snake hands" was all that was heard, as 6 snakes sprung out of Orochimaru's sleeves, flying towards the blond, who landed on his feet, but got caught by the snakes as they coiled around him. "Any last words, Naruto-kun" snake eyes asked, but his eyes widened when he saw that the blond was smiling, then snickered, then burst into laughter. Not understanding what was so funny, he started to crush him with the snakes. But as he did, the bunshin stopped, to look at him smiling.

"Bunshin raiton daibakuda" at which the blonds eyes started to shine, signaling that it was a clone, getting ready to explode. Realizing this, Orochimaru released the snakes, jumping backwards to get out of harms way. Though the only problem was that the bunshin was able to follow him.

"Hey what is is snake-fag, don't want a hug" it said as it appeared in front of Orochimaru, ready to grapple him, but sadly the snake got away, just as the bunshins fews ran out. As it did, it exploded in a rain of lightning bolts, hitting everything in the area, including the snake-fag, who was screaming like burned alive. Well who wouldn't, when hit by lightning, that is, if they survive.

Sakura, standing on the sideline, was I awe at her old classmates skill and power. But when the bunshin exploded she was terrified as the lightning bolts were heading towards her. Screaming while holding her arms up in defense she waited for the strike... but it never came.

Lowering her arms she saw a tall figure in a now black coat, standing in front of her, holding out his hand. Looking at his hand, her eyes bulged at the sight. He had caught a lightning bolt in his hand, as it sparked like crazy in his open hand. Suddenly he closed the hand, dissipating the bolt. She then heard him snicker as he started to walk away again.

Then suddenly, Orochimaru attacked again, now with a sword, the Kusanagi. Swinging it down to cut the blond in half, it was suddenly stopped by another sword, causing dust and debris to kick up. Standing in a standstill, with the swords crossed, both combatants waited until the dust settled. Though when it did, Orochimaru's eyes snapped open at the blonds sword.

"Oh I guess you notice my sword" he asked, as he watched the snakes reaction. "Its a family heirloom, that my brother, Kaze Uzumaki, gave to me when he died. It has never found another sword that can match its strength, and you are one of the first to see it on the battlefield, teme" he said as he started to push back. Okay, now Orochimaru was scared, as he wasn't prepared for this. He hadn't predicted that someone strong enough to wield the sword of everlasting wind(i know, corny, but hey I couldn't come up with something better. It wont be used anyway)

"Oh is the snake afraid, good, cause..." he started to push even more, when suddenly "YOUR DEAD, YOU DIPSHIT" he roared as he drove the sword away, leaving Orochimaru wide-open, as he slashed his midsection apart, then spun the sword over his head and cut him from head to tow. As he stood up, with the sword in hand, Sakura was about to go over to the blond and praise him, or scold him, depending on which personality ruled, when she saw his face twist in an unusual scowl while sheeting it on his back.

"Ah Orochimaru, why cant you just play like a good boy for once and do things by yourself" he spoke loudly. Suddenly, the snake-fag fazed out of the tree on the other side of the clearing.

"Oh Naruto-kun, you are truly powerful, I guess I will get two new vessels after this" he spoke in his irritating voice. Naruto was still as passive as always, pulling out 'the death', while walking forward, he stopped at the edge of other side of the clearing from Orochimaru, then standing with his gun arm pointing straight out towards Orochimaru. Then holding out his other arm out in front of him, he started.

"Orochimaru, the element for your destruction has been decided" he announced, making the Snake-sannin raise an eyebrow at what he meant. Moving his hand in front of him, then reaching towards the package he had gotten from Tenten earlier. Opening his ammo pockets, which were around his waist, there were several different colored bullets in separate pockets all the way round. He picked out a red one, and held it with his thumb and index finger, toying with it.

"The color that will burn everything to oblivion, Hell Fire Red" he said as he cocked the slide back, and loaded the bullet in the gun. With a click the slide shut close, as he raised the gun towards Orochimaru yet again, who was grinning like an idiot, then started to charge towards the blond.

"I don't know what you are planning but I wont allow it, if it would spell problems for me, so just die, Naruto-kun" he then flicked his wrist as a kunai appeared. Getting closer, to most it would seem like Naruto had lost, sadly for Orochimaru, such was not the case, as he suddenly stopped by no real meaning. Twisting his head around him, he searched for the reason, then looked at the ground. Thats when he saw it.

"Like it, I created it just for this kind of occasion" the blond asked proud. It was a special seal, that was made on the ground. "The purpose of the seal is to capture the enemy if they step into the seal. Sadly I cant allow you to get away alive." he said. Suddenly the black gun started to glow, with seals appearing on its sides, with a fierce red aura, then bursting into flames, though they didn't seem to affect Naruto at all, who was smiling.

"The bullet I put in the gun is a special bullet. It is infused with a specific element depending on the color." At which the snake understood what he was doing. "So I can only say one thing to you. Go burn in hell. "Fire release: Fire of the unyielding Hell" As he spoke, he charge chakra into the gun, as the flames started to swirl into the gun again, until all of the flames had disappeared into it. Time seemed to stop, in anticipation of what would come, as Orochimaru struggled to get away, and Sakura held her breath. Thats when Naruto pulled the trigger.

It was unbelievable. The power in the shot was enough to create a beam large enough to encompass even the largest tree on its width. The flame that was produced was causing the ground to become glassed, a testimony of how warm it was. As the beam of pure flame, closed in on Orochimaru, he prayed that he would live to punish the brat, as he only said one perfect word, describing his situation.

"Ah Shit!"

As it hit, he disappeared in the light that the beam produced. As the beam continued, it shoot through several tree's, scourging everything in its path. As it dispersed, the blond stood there, with the black gun in his hand hanging his arm sloppy along his frame, as steam and vapor oozed of it. Orochimaru was gone, but he knew he had gotten away, swithing with a thushi bunshin at the last second. But he had been injured in the process anyways, so it was a good day for the tall blond.

Lifting up the gun to look at it, he saw the seals on it disappear. Tilting it to the sides he inspected it, finding no visual problems with it. Smiling ear to ear at the capability's of the gun, he holstered it he turned to team 7.

What was still awake of the team was gaping at him like a fish on land, with eyes to match. This was beyond anything possible. It was the impossible. The blond had defeated one of the Sannin by himself, and with a Jutsu that she never had heard of. It was mindbogglingly insane. Thats when she noticed that he stood in front of her. Sighing he held out his hand, in which it was a earth scroll, the one Orochimaru had on him, as he found it a minute earlier.

"Take it, your team has suffered sever setbacks, not because you weren't ready, but because of interferences from outside. Take this scroll and continue" he said in a commanding voice, though he was sincere in his willingness to help others. She just nodded her head, and took the scroll.

As Naruto walked away far enough, he pulled out a small device and started to push some buttons. Putting it down, it sprung to life, folding out, as it started to glow in the center. Suddenly the projected body of Anko, not higher than his leg, showed on top of the device

"Hey, Anko are you there" he asked. "Naruto, I don't have time right now, you dipshit" she yelled, seemingly pissed, and he knew why. "Sigh, Anko-nee-chan, please calm down long enough so that I can talk to you, okay" this cause her to glare at him for a moment before she took a deep breath and calmed down. "Okay Naruto, im calm now, so tell me what it is thats so important that you prevent me from hunting him down" she spat out the last part, even though her voice wasn't calm in the first place, not mentioning Orochimaru's name.

"Thats just it Anko. I had a little feud with him just a minute ago, and I cause heavy injury on him." Now, this wasn't just any news, it was the big bang for Anko. She had waited years to strike at him when he was at the weakest as revenge, but Naruto brought her down fast "Though even if hes injured hes extremely dangerous." she was scowling at the brats audacity to claim that she couldn't take care of herself. "Its just that, he has more tricks in his sleeves, possibly spy's, and I just don't want to lose another family member" yes, he thought of her as a family member, a crazy one, but still, family. She stared at her feet at this, as she knew how it was.

"Don't blame yourself, Nee-chan. But if your going to hunt him, just be careful. The one I attacked was the real deal, but before he got himself killed he switched with a mud clone, and disappeared. Though he was injured non the less" he said, snickering. Anko was now smiling at her ototo.

"Anyway, I got to get going. Ill see you at the tower, so stay alive, okay Anko-nee-chan, ja ne" he said as the connection cut, and the device folded itself together. Picking it up he headed towards the tower, bent on protecting his village... and finishing this exam, no matter what or who happened.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Since it wasn't many teams that had come in yet, he walked through the tower, studing the old building. He knew the history of the place, being an old prison for high ranked prisoners. I mean who would be mad enough to run through a forest full of deadly animals, and plant's.

As he walked down the corridor, he came to a recreation room. Feeling bored he sat down, and pulled out a book and started to read. About an hour or two later, he was disturbed by a sudden rise in KI in the room. Lowering the book, he saw it was the sand siblings, with Garra in the middle, having a throwing fit of maniacal smile. Sighing he just stood up to walk away, but was stopped by sand blocking his way out.

"Ehm, could you please move the sandbox, I kinda wanna go this way" he said waving behind his back towards the sand nins. Hearing a laughter behind him, he knew what would happen, as he disappeared just as the sand in front engulfed the Blood Bunshin he left behind. He knew the future for it already.

"Sabaku Kyu" as these words were heard the sand imploded, crushing the bunshin. Shielding himself from the experience, by refusing it access, he escaped knowing how unwanted this 'hug' was. Watching from the shadows he noticed Garra's siblings scared facial outfits.

"Garra, you just killed the Sandaime Hokage's personal apprentice. When he finds out, our heads will roll" Temari just stuttered, shaking in fear at what would happen if they would be caught. "You shouldn't have done that Garra. Well get in trouble if we are caught, and then the plan will be exposed" Kankuro tried to sound normal, but failed.

Understanding that these three were a part of the invasion, he decided to appear. Umping the effect, he made a genjutsu on the wall, creating a sort of black hole, scaring the group, except Garra, of course. "Well, well, well. I didn't know you were a part in the invasion of konoha." he asked coldly as he walked out of the wall, with a really scary smile.

And it had the expected effect, as everyone looked like they saw a ghost, looking towards the dead 'blond' at the door. Instead of a mess of flesh, it was just a pool of blood. Wide eyed they turned their head towards the original blond, who was gone.

Suddenly Kankuro and Temari felt an arm on their shoulders. Turning their heads between each other, the blond was standing their, shaking his hanging head. But both saw the grin he had. And now they were afraid, cause he was chuckling evilly.

"hehehe, oh you guys, if you don't behave, I will be forced to dispose of you, just like I did with Orochimaru." Okay, now if the threat wasn't enough, the name he said was the icebreaker, cause they were shaking in their boots. Raising his head he came in height with Garra, he grinned even more.

"I expect you to behave, and stay out of the invasion." he said, as they grew wide eyed "Cause if I see you then, I will end your existence" at which Garra grew afraid "And no matter how much you want to live, no matter how much you try to survive, either with your own will, or that worthless Sabaku no Shukaku, you will die" he said with a tone cold enough to freeze a iceberg.

Releasing the sand siblings he stood up, and walk out of the room, leaving behind three scared nins. Stopping in the door he turned around, glaring at them. "Anyone who hurts my precious people will face my wrath, as I can make a raging Kyubi no kitsune, seem like a cuddly fox cub in comparison to when im angry." he finished as he disappeared in black flames.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

It had been five days since the beginning of the second exam, and all of the remaining teams were standing there in the hall. Naruto saw that all of the teams from his year had made it, and of course Gai's team, as he saw Tenten, who was looking at him. Waving slightly, with a foxy smile, she just blushed, looking away.

'Cute' he just thought as he lowered his hand, just as he saw hinata, who was looking him, and doing the same again, though she was probably close to fainting instead.

'Girls, sheesh' he though as he shrugged listening to the explanation the old Hokage gave to the exams in general. 'War huh, well I hope he has been informed about the current situation, cause it will be important that he knows' he thought as he suddenly saw the Uchiha grabbing his neck, just as Sakura seemed to plea to him.

''its no use Sakura, he wont listen to anyone, if they stand in his way of killing Itachi. Besides, that cursed seal just brings out that desire even more, making him more resistible to the temptation for power' he thought as he returned to the exams, noticing that his name was on the board above and next to his name was... Inuzuka Kiba.

Tuning out the 'crys for help' in the form of Kiba trying to trash talking about him, stating something about him being the dead-last and all. 'Oh so im the weakest, well time to put the street dog through a crash course in behavior, cause he will crash into the wall when im done with him' he thought shaking his head, staying behind while everyone walked up on the balconys around the arena.

"Oy, dead-last, why don't you just give up now so you don't have to be hurt, I mean you are really weak, everyone know's that" kiba was taunting him, but instead he was actually just being helpful to Naruto.

"Hey, can you make your dog shut up, cause he's really irritating right now, barking around like hes something. I mean, come on, since when did it have a leash, or a bath for that sake" he said nonchalantly looking p on the balcony's, counting the bars in the reeling, not taking not at the scowling face of his opponent.

"Hey you have no right to say such things about Akamaru, you worthless piece of shit" he roared getting ready to begin. Naruto had just raised his head to count the sealing tiles as he spoke.

"Actually I was talking to Akamaru, not you Kiba" he said, still counting the tiles on the sealing, just as the match began. Well kiba was mad, thats one thing easy to understand, cause he charged straight at the blond, rearing his hand to cut him. Naruto... well was still counting the sealing tiles, not interested, or just didn't show it.

Now when people act like this, there are two possible explanations. One, which most ninjas who were against Naruto, and a few in his years, thought he was just not noticing the attack and already lost. Second, which 'almost', that includes Sarutobi, Anko, Ibiki, Hayate, a good portion of the Anbu there, all of the rookie twelve and sensei's except Sasuke, the sand nin's (reluctantly), and a certain snake, hidding in the surrounding area. All these know why. He just didn't care, cause he didn't need to.

Just as the punch was about to land in the tall blonds face (as he had to jump), just quarters of an inch away, he disappeared, startling the Inuzuka, who landed on his feet, ready to attack again. Scanning the arena, he saw the blond, who was standing against the opposite wall, reading a black book, which surely enough got on Kibas nerves.

"HEY YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!!!" he roared, as akamaru came up to him reluctantly. Noticing this, kiba was wondering what could make his companion afraid of attacking. Shrugging it of, he tossed his friend a soldier pill, causing Akamaru to grow larger, and turning red instead of white. "All four jutsu" And "Beast clone Jutsu" heroared, as Akamaru turned into the more feral look alike kiba. Running towards Naruto who still was reading, they charged with their special strike.

"Getsuga" As they were spinning towards the blond, Naruto decided that playtime was over, as he put the book away, and stepped towards the spinning kiba's. As they got in range, he suddenly caught both beast-nin's around the neck, with his bare hands, stopping their attack. Now this is the thing. To stop the spinning momentum of two fast spinning people requires a lot of strength and timing to be able to catch them by the neck, also to add at the same time. Well for those who didn't know about the blonds skill, well their jaw's must have reached china by now.

Staring at the scared Inuzuka, Naruto looked at both the owner and his companion, then back. "Kiba, give up now, okay. I stopped your best attack like nothing, so you don't have any more tricks. Or is it that you have to console with your owner, right Akamaru" he joked setting the, now normal dog back on the ground, who was wimpering about. "Akamaru, attack him" kiba was commanding, but no one was listening to him. "Akamaru, why arent you..:" but he suddenly hit the deck, hard.

"Kiba, you slacker, do you think you could win right now. If this was a life or death battle, you would be owing me your life, so just take it like a man, and just give up" Naruto asked/commanded, still with a calm, and collected attitude, while he was sitting on kiba's back. It took a moment but...

"Proctor, I give up." he said, still scowling how he had lost so easily. As he felt the weight on his back disappeared, he got ready to get up when a hand appeared in front of his face. Looking up he saw the tall black clad blond, standing there, with a smile on his face, behind his shades.

"Nice fight kiba, but you got some way yet to go, but still, a really good fight" he said happily, grinning from ear to ear. Losing his anger, kiba just chuckled as he took the hand and got up. "Dont think that it will be as easy next time, dobe" he taunted, but Naruto just took a scolding look, as he bent down. "Well then, who was it that got his as kicked then, D-O-B-E." he said as he disappeared to appear next to the Hokage, and a happy Anko, who was suddenly clinging to him from behind.

"Hey Anko, not now. There are kids watching. We don't want to give them nightmares don't we, right" he asked jokingly, as she let go and walked around, to stand next to him. Looking at her, he didn't see any injury's, but he was still worried. "hey Nee-chan, any problem" he asked as he watched the next match between Sasuke and a kusa nin.

"Nope not a thing, that I can remember, that is" she said happily, causing Naruto to chuckle. "Oh boy, this is going to be a long exam, isn't it." he asked the aging Hokage, who just nodded, while smoking his pipe.

"Yep, it will really be, a long, interesting and eventful one, that is one thing for sure" he said as the match ended, with Sasuke taken away, even thought he won. 'Lady luck will only help you so far, Sasuke. When she stops helping you, will you survive the fall, or will you sucumb to the snakes temptation' was all the blond thought as the matches continued on, one after the other.

Next chapter 1 Month to the storm

Hi everyone, im sorry that I havent been adding chapters as often as I wished, but we had a horrible storm during last friday and as a result, we had a longtime poweroutage. Not funny, not funny one bit, and I mean it. No Tv, No Computer, No Console, No Fanfiction, Nothing.

Let me put it like this.

I was B-O-R-E-D to extinction.

So I hope you can forgive me. Also to add is that school, even thought its not a problem, takes a lot of time, so I can only get one chapter out every three, YES, three (3) weeks. I know, boring, but this is life as we live it. Until next time schools of a week, which should in the end of march, this will be life as we know it.

But do not fear, the great Fanfiction gods will see things in our favor one day, oh and anything you find that matches anything thats already used, disclaimer forever, I mean it.

So to next time, eat the green stuff on your plate, don't drink to much and please, just stay alive, dammit.
