Kukuku! Now we're back to Kuro!

^^; Nyways!

Oh and would you mind reviewing more ;-;? I feel lonely when only like 2 people review D:

Ay ee ay ee ay
I'm your little butterfly
Green, black, and blue
Make the colors in the sky

I've been searching in the woods
And high upon the hills
Just to find
To find my Samurai

Aqua- Butterfly

As Shikamaru was still gawking at the "angel" on the bed, he didn't notice (nor truly care) as Hinata made her way towards Kuro and shook her a little.

"Kuro-Chan time to wake up.." Hinata muttered lovingly as the deep blue eyes of the beautiful snake fluttered open. Kuro slowly sat up then stretched and yawned a large yawn, giving everyone a good view of the tiny (cute) fangs that she had.

"Hina-chan.. Gaara.. Temari.. Shika.." She looked at all of them with her eyes half opened until her eyes rested on Kankuro who stared back. "Mummy?" Kankuro face faulted causing Gaara to smirk and the other two girls to giggle a little, Shikamaru however was quiet.

"Gaara-san here wanted to see you Kuro-chan." Said the Hyuuga Heir gently, rubbing Kuro's head lightly with her palm, causing said girl to nuzzle the hand like a puppy.

"Ah.. Whats it about Gaara..?" Kuro asked lightly.

Gaara cleared his throat a little before sighing. "I am to deliver you, and anyone else you wish to take, to a safe area in the Oto Village." Said Gaara lightly.

Kuro muttered a small "oh" before turning towards Shikamaru. "What're you doing here Shika?" She asked, smiling a little at him. She liked Shika, he was funny and his lazy attitude often gave her a giggle or two when they were in the Academy.

Shikamaru jumped a little, coming out of his daze before his face went back to his normal lazy look. Hinata and Gaara didn't fail to notice the jump, or the daze, but pretended to not notice.

"Ah.." He rubbed the back of his head. "I was apparently resting on the entrance to this place and Hinata asked me to move.. When she went down the stairs I decided to follow thats all." He said and Kuro nodded.

"I see, well.." She frowned a little. "Since you heard that information I can't let you leave just yet.."

Shikamaru understood her words and nodded a little. 'Not that I'd want to leave anyways.' The shadow user thought quietly to himself.

Turning back towards Gaara, Kuro nodded to him. "Okay Gaara I know who I want to take." Gaara nodded and waited for her to continue. At his nod Kuro began to speak once more. "I will have you, your siblings, Shika, Hinata to go with me. But also I wish to find Sasuke and take him with us. Then I want to find Chouji." At this Shika's eyes widened a little. "So that Shika doesn't need to be totally alone." Now his eyes went back to normal and he smiled. "Then I want to ask Lee to come, even though hes still slightly wounded from your attacks in the first part of the Exam."

Gaara smirked at the memory. The first person to ever hit him was Lee, and surprisingly, Gaara didn't want to kill him. He respected Lee's talent. Not even Jounin could touch him with their strongest Jutsu (depending on the Jounin of course, he was sure the Scarecrow could hurt him) yet Lee easily whacked Gaara across the head and nearly killed him. Because of that, Gaara showed mercy.

---Flash back---

Gaara slowly rose from the ground in a wave of sand, his face twisted in a insane grin as he looked at Lee's form on the ground. Lee saw Gaara's sand moving towards him and he attempted to move away but he wasn't fast enough. The sand formed a hand and hit Lee on the neck, knocking him out and surprising almost all of the people watching.

Gai flew down, grabbing Lee and quickly taking him to the Hospital, giving Gaara a respectful nod before leaving.

"Winner Gaara"

---Flash back Over---

"Very well Fox, do you need some more time or shall we go look for the people you wish to take right now?" The sand-raccoon-panda-thing asked.

"I've already got a couple Kage Bunshin's on the job, Gaara." She said giggling a little.

Gaara nodded as Kuro got up and moved towards the door. "Shall we go now?" She asked. "I've asked them all to come to the East gate where the least fighting is going on."

Nodding, everyone followed her to the east gate, Hinata making sure the door to the room was carefully hidden.

Meanwhile at the Arena.

Kakashi kicked another ninja off the stands then threw a kunai expertly towards one of the Ninja's eyes. Said Ninja moved his head to dodge but was then blown up as Kakashi muttered "Kai", which caused the explosion note on the kunai to explode.

His mangled body flew off, joining the other many Oto, Suna and couple Leaf bodies in the area. Sakura was fighting off her own Ninja, his Kunai clinging against hers then she tripped him with her feet before stabbing him straight in throat, causing him to choke on his own blood before he died.

Kakashi put a hand on her shoulder, and Sakura looked up at him with her bright green eyes. Her whole body was covered in blood. She killed at least nine Ninja, and at first it scared her. But after her third kill she seemed to be okay with it. Well not okay, it was obvious she didn't like killing, but she realized that she had to.

The only thing surprising Kakashi was that she was actually able to do it. Orochimaru must be using inexperienced Ninja for this part of town, or maybe Sakura was better then she let on.

Kakashi was so lost in thought that he didn't notice Sakura shaking him, trying to get his attention. "Kakashi-sensei?" She said, making Kakashi come out of his thoughts.

"Ah sorry, was thinking." He explained giving her one of his eye smiles. "Are you okay?" At her nod he smiled but then he saw something that made his eye widen. "Sakura! Its Kuro!" He said pointing over to where there were several Ninja, all Oto, surrounding a black haired girl.

Sakura narrowed her eyes a little before nodding and running off to the spot, surprising one of the Oto Nin's as she stabbed him in the back then sliced upwards, cutting open his back and head. The other Oto Nin looked at her in shock, giving Kuro a chance to kick one off the stand and throw a bomb after him then slice the neck of the last one with a Kunai.

Kakashi walked up, smiling at both his students, but his eyes turned serious as he looked at Kuro. "Kuro.. Where were you?" He didn't fail to notice the narrowed eyes of Sakura staring at Kuro.

Kuro looked up at him with cute eyes and started hugging him and nuzzling his chest. "Kaka-senseiiiii" She said in childlike cuteness. Both Sakura's and Kakashi's eyes bulged out and stared at the black haired snake lady.

Kakashi pulled Kuro back, making the girl whine, and held her there. "What're you doing Kuro!?" He asked in a surprised voice.

Kuro stuck her tongue out. "I'm not Kuro, I'm just a little Shadow Clone!" She said grinning then added, "Do you know where Lee is? I want to make sure he isn't in trouble since theres a lot of Ninja's here and he hasn't fully recovered yet."

Kakashi pointed over to the other side of the Arena, where several bodies flew away from a green blur, a couple being knocked away by a similar blue blur. Kuro nodded and hugged Kakashi once more before running off to Lee.

Sakura looked at her Sensei softly. "Should we follow her?" She asked, a small trace of venom laced in her voice.

Kakashi shook his head. "No, we have more problems over here, come on Sakura." They then ran off, fighting other Ninja's of the Sound.

At the forest, Sasuke was sleeping peacefully on the tree, for once not having nightmares about Itachi killing his family when he felt a sharp pain in his side that made him jerk awake. His eyes fluttered open and he glared up at the black haired lady that was glaring right back at him.

"Get up Uchiha, Kuro wants you to meet her at the East Gate" Said the girl and Sasuke raised an eyebrow.

"Aren't you Kuro?" For his question he was rewarded with a sharp kick in the side.

"I'm a Shadow Clone you idiot! Now hurry up!" She then started to stomp off, with Sasuke following behind. She then turned and glared at him. "Stop staring at my ass!" then she started to walk off again.

Sasuke raised both eyebrows now. He never even glanced down there but now his eyes were curious. Smirking Sasuke followed the girl closely.

Chouji was hiding. He was scared, and worst of all he couldn't find his friend anywhere.

'Shikamaru! Where are you when I need you?' He thought worriedly while softly munching on his chips that he held. He was hiding on top of Shikamaru's favorite spot. The place where they first met. Smiling at the memory he momentarily forgot the place he was in, and the status of his village.

Then he felt a hand land on his shoulder and he nearly jumped out of his skin. When he looked

up there was a tall black-haired girl staring down at her with those blue eyes that seemed to shine with brilliance. She smiled kindly at him.

"Chouji-Kun, please come with me. Shikamaru-Kun wanted to see you." She said gently leaning down and helping the boy out of his hiding spot under the bench.

Chouji stared at the girl and stared into her eyes. They were the same as Naruto's, but seemed much kinder then usual. "Uh.. Okay.. Who're you?" Since he had not come to the Arena Chouji didn't know of Kuro.

She looked at him confused then realization came upon her quickly. She smiled and bowed slightly. "My name is Kuro, Kuro Hebi. I am Naruto as well. I was hiding my gender so that I couldn't be abused for being a female." She answered softly as Chouji's eyes widened considerably.

"Your Naruto?" He said disbelievingly.

She nodded. "I'm only a Shadow Clone of Kuro but yes.. She is Naruto." She said then added. "If you don't believe me then I'll say what only Naruto or Shikamaru could know." Chouji's eyes narrowed a little but he nodded and she smiled brightly at him. "In our academy days when no one was looking you would sneak two rice balls into Ino's lunch with a note saying that "these are specially coated to not give you even an ounce of fat so you don't have to worry about blowing your diet by eating these." though she just passed it off as Sasuke's doing." The Shadow-Kuro smiled seeing Chouji blush.

He always liked Ino, though he found her scary sometimes, he wanted to protect her from everything. He felt more like a big brother to her then anything else, even though she was a couple months older than him.

Chouji stared at Kuro and nodded. "Okay I believe you.. I only told Naruto and Shikamaru about that and I doubt they would've let it slip." He never told Kiba, the 3rd member of the four trouble makers of the Academy, about that because he would've either pointed it out when Ino was going after Sasuke or made fun of Chouji about it.

Chouji then thought of something and grinned, staring at Kuro. "But just in case you just took the information from them in order to get to me. I'll ask you something truly only Naruto could know." Kuro tilted her head curiously as Chouji's smile grew. "What is the best food ever?" He asked and Kuro's eyes bulged out.

"Ramen of course! Nothing could be better then the food of the God's!" She said with a bright scenery appearing behind her and her eyes on fire like Gai or Lee's. Chouji laughed.

"Yeah your Naruto alright.." He smiled. "Okay where are we going?"

"To the east gate!"

Shadow-Kuro #1 ran across the stands quickly, dodging any attacks sent – or just misfired – her way. She still hadn't found Lee. But then, just as she was about to jump off to go search somewhere else she saw a blue blur crash in front of her feet. She eeped and jumped back to see a bleeding Lee staring up at her.

"Naruto-Kun..?" He asked softly, his eyes swirling around.

"Er.. Yes! Um.." She fiddled with the hem of her shirt before helping Lee up. "I'm Kuro, or rather I'm a Shadow Clone of Kuro." She said gently, her voice laced with something Lee could not figure out.

"Ah.. Yes Kuro-Chan!" Lee gave her the good guy pose and she had to cover her eyes from the shine of his teeth. "Your fire of youth shines brightly Kuro-Chan!"

"Ah.." She blushed a little. "Lee-Kun could you come to the East Gate please? Its important! And you can tell Gai about it but he can't come cause the people here need his help okay?" Lee narrowed his eyes in suspension but nodded.

Kuro smiled as he talked with Gai who nodded and ran off to fight more Ninjas'. Then Lee ran back over to her and nodded. "Okay lets go Kuro-Chan!"

She nodded in return and they both ran off.

At the East Gate almost everyone was there, but Gaara was impatient. He was considering just leaving now and leaving Lee behind, but Kuro stopped him by challenging him to a Shoji game which he agreed too as Shikamaru acted as the Ref to watch out for cheating of any sort.

As they were almost done with the game, which both were enjoying, Lee ran up with a Kuro Clone following close behind. The clone poofed away without a word as Lee joined the small crowd around the two that were battling it out.

Gaara was just about to win, he was one step away! But then.. Kuro moved a piece and said "Checkmate" Gaara imminently looked for a way out but saw none, he let down his defense on the left side causing it easy for one of her pieces to move in and capture his king.

Sighing he nodded. "You win." Kuro cheered and jumped onto Hinata, causing the girl to fall back in surprise as Kuro kissed her, which caused most people's eyes to bulge out in surprise.

Coughing, Kuro got up as Gaara disposed of the Shoji board (it was made of solid sand) and helped Hinata up. Turning towards the people gathered here she smiled at them.

"Okay first thing before I explain what we are going to do. What we are doing will be leaving us out of the village for a long long time and you will most likely be labled as missing Nin's." All leaf Ninja, minus Hinata and Sasuke, imminently had shocked faces but Kuro continued, ignoring them. "But we will not assault or harm any Ninja's of this village unless they attempt to first and even then we will not kill them unless they're someone who deserves it." She noticed Lee frowning and she turned towards him. "Lee-san you do not have to come but I ask of you to not tell anyone until they figure it out themselves."

Lee slowly looked at her and sighed. "Will it make me stronger if I come? And promise I won't have to fight Gai-Sensei?" He asked softly and she smiled at him.

"You will be very very strong if you come, and I promise you won't have to fight Gai if you explain that we're not against the leaf." At Lee's nod she turned towards Gaara. "Gaara I will tell you this that I have no intention of staying with Orochimaru for long." Gaara looked at her with a surprised look. "I do not wish for us to have to fight people of this village but I will be making a secret force." She looked at all of them. "You will all be apart of that force and eventually we will add more. I have the rest of the Rookie Nine and the rest of Lee's team in mind and probably some Oto Nin's that aren't completely loyal to Orochimaru." The others nodded, Lee smiling at the thought of having Neji and Tenten with him once more, before she continued.

"If there are any doubts, you may leave now. But know this.. You will not have a second chance.. and there will be a point where you will wonder if you did the right thing." The others stared at her, only a couple seemed reluctant to come. "For those who are wary of coming, I will tell you this.. Orochimaru can give you power, a lot of power, but I know of where to get more. This will help you protect the people precious to you. Orochimaru isn't friendly with Konoha and will most likely attempt to get us to hate it. Pretend you do! But never truly do!" They all nodded slowly and she smiled moving towards the gate.

"Now lets go my friends! To our new lives!"

Chappy end!
