Sky Ninja now has its sixth chapter.

disclaimer: i don't own naruto, but i like to draw and make characters for them. they might not make it to the big screen, but it's always fun.

"NARUTO!!!" the scream was heard through half of the forest as all creatures and ninja ran in the other direction away from the noise, knowing not to get near it. For everyone knows that when a women is mad, you're dead.

"I swear it was an accident." Naruto, the not-so-bright-ninja decided to stand his ground unlike Sasuke who as smart as he was performed a replacement jutsu to watch the show from afar in a safe area.

"Oh yeah? Then why were you saying my name in your sleep?" Sakuras face was as red a cherry and as hot as magma.

"You were in danger, I swear." Naruto tried to explain.

See what happened was that while Naruto and Sakura were getting their rest from the night before, Sasuke remained awake on watch duty. Being bored, he thought it would be fun to play a trick on the dobe and his fangirl. So what he did was lie right on top of Sakura knowing she was a heavy sleeper and then performed a replacement jutsu to switch himself and Naruto so that Naruto was lying on Sakura instead of himself. The only thing that Sasuke had no control over, but yet made the prank ten times better, was that Naruto talked in his sleep waking up Sakura. And from there is history, extremely painful history.

Trees flew everywhere as Sakura was trying to get her hands on the slippery blonde. Jabbing with her left, Naruto ducked just enough so the fist smashed into the tree behind him, but resulting with a hole in the tree and a knee coming into his gut.

The knee connected.

The tree fell, on Naruto.

Don't worry everyone, he's okay, he just being dragged by his feet while he's still knocked out cold.

(A/N: I hope you all understand that true morale of this story, "Never get Sakura mad.")

"Hey Sakura." She looked at her raven haired team mate as they walked through the forest. "No offense or anything, but why are you so violent now?"

"You don't like it?" tightening her grip on Narutos legs.

"N-no, not at all." Sakura loosened her grip. "It's just that you used to either stare at me all day with that fangirly look, or you were trying to get my attention so you could go out with me. And now you frankly scare the crap out of me."

"So?"

"What happened?"

Sakura began remembering what had happened on that night, letting out a sigh "Let's just say I got some sense knocked into me. I've learned that I can't always expect you or anyone else to always be their to save me, I have to fend for myself." Sakura heard a small chuckle from Sasuke, which in return had her tightening her grip on the leg once more.

"What's so funny?"

"I'm glad." a confused look could now be seen on the pink haired ninja. "You got out of your fangirl stage. Now we can work as an actual team."

"Glad you think of it that way."

"It was one of the sky ninja wasn't it." this caught Sakura completely off guard, she wouldn't have expected Sasuke to talk about the incident, let alone guess who caused it. All she could do was stop in her tracks and look down to the ground. "Which one?"

"The one who guessed your life." she said bluntly so she could have the same effect on Sasuke.

It did. The Uchiha froze in his tracks as well remembering very well how that shinobi had just taken off his mask that he wore in front of others, how he found out that he could use a kekkai genkai, the white haired sky ninja had rattled his life in less than a minute.

The two continued on through the woods without saying another word to each and after awhile, Naruto came back to the land of the living. Now they could move at full speed throughout the forest. After an hour or two of finding no scrolls, the team had ended up at a creek where they rested up for food.

"I'm going to the bathroom you two." Sasuke said with his back to the two "Don't do anything stupid while I'm gone, Naruto." and with that he went to find the little ninjas room.

Naruto was a bit aggravated from Sasukes insult, but then cooled down once he realized that he was once again alone with Sakura. Fearing that she might try to kill him again, he decided to strip down to his underwear.

"What are you doing?" Sakura asked with her fist clenched just in case.

"I'm going to get some food for us." he then dove into the river in search for fish.

Sakura was now all by herself and just sitting around looking at the sky.

Suddenly, something caught her eye. In Narutos weapon pouch, their earth scroll was peeping out just a bit. This surprised Sakura due to the fact that she thought that the scroll was with Sasuke. It was probably with Naruto because he is the least likely to be trusted with it and no one would think of looking for it on him. But that didn't stop her from walking over and taking out the scroll from the pouch looking at it more closely.

'I wonder what it says on the inside?' Sakura looked over at the river. Naruto was no where in sight. She looked over in the other direction towards the forest. There were no signs of Sasuke coming out anytime soon. She redirected her attention back to the scroll in her hand. Lifting up her other hand, she began peeling away the tape that kept the scroll closed.

POOF!

A gray haired shinobi appeared in a puff of smoke right next to Sakura and holding the scroll down on the ground.

"I wouldn't do that if I were..." the ninja didn't finish his sentence as a kunai now laid on his throat which was held by Sakura.

"...You."

Just a few seconds later, Sasuke appeared from the bushes zipping up his trousers.

"Man, what did I eat?" thinking out loud to himself. That all stopped until he noticed Sakura standing next to a ninja unknown to him. But what he was happy about was that his team was had the advantage.

"So. What did you find Sakura?"

"He's trying to steal the scroll." Sasuke eyes widened up and instantly moved his hand to his pouch.

"How did you get the scroll from my pouch?" Sakura looked away from the hostage and looked a bit confused. She found the scroll in Narutos pouch, not Sasukes.

"I found it in Narutos pouch." Sasukes eyes widened even more. He wouldn't expect Sakura to be able to swipe anything from him without him noticing. But Naruto?! He was possibly the worst when it came to stealth (orange suit).

The water splashed as the blonde ninja of Team 7 rose out of the water with three fish in hand.

"Alright! Lunch is on me!"

Of course, Naruto has been fishing all this time and does not know what has happened yet. So when he saw the ninja and Sakura, who he actually recognized as Kabuto from the first part of the exams, he was happy to see him.

"Hey Kabuto! Didn't know you'd be here. I better get more..."

"How did you get the scroll from my pouch Naruto?!" Sasuke interrupted Narutos greeting to Kabuto.

For some reason, the blonde now had a confused look on his face like Sakuras. "I had the scroll? I thought you had it, Sasuke." now it was official, all of Team 7 was completely confused.

Kabuto then cleared his throat, making sure he didn't cut his own neck on the kunai, to obtain the team which right now had no idea what was going on anymore. "Ahem, I wasn't trying to steal the scroll."

Sasuke was the first to leave the land of confusion only to question Kabuto. "Then what were you doing?"

"I was trying to stop her from opening the scroll." both Naruto and Sasuke now looked at Sakura with disbelief, they were told specifically not to open the scrolls until they had both and reached the tower.

"Sakura, put down the kunai. He's a friend." Naruto tried to get the weapon away from Kabutos throat.

Sakura looked at Kabuto and saw that his headband wore the symbol of a konaha-nin. So without any delay, she took the kunai away from his neck and a look of shame came onto her face.

"I'm sorry. I thought you were trying to steal our scroll."

Kabuto rubbed his neck while sweating just a bit. "It's alright. I'd probably have done the same thing in your position, nice job." this compliment brought a smile and relief to Sakura as she believed she was forgiven.

"So what's your real reason here, Kabuto is it?" Sasuke asked with his usual careless stare.

"I was just passing by and I saw her trying to open the scroll. So I came to stop her."

"Hmph!" Sasuke snorted at the explaination. "That excuse is almost as bad as Kakashi-senseis own. Now tell us the truth." this gave Kabuto a small smirk across his face.

"Very well then, I was on my way to get to the tower to meet up with my team. Sakura, as you call her, was looking about holding a scroll. I saw she was alone so I was going to take the scroll. But when I found out that the scroll was one I already had, I was going to leave. That's when her kunai came in." his face then met the ground as a fist slammed into the top of his head from everyones favorite female with pink hair.

"So I was right!" Sakura now rubbing her knuckles getting ready for him to get up.

For Kabuto that was his first mistake. He got up onto his feet moving his jaw back and forth. "Ok, I deserved that. But-" another fist went straight into his gut and he went back down to the ground.

"Sakura! Stop being so violent!" Naruto shouted out dropping the fish and heading over to Kabutos aid.

"I kinda like the new Sakura." Sasuke said with his trademark smirk.

This of course got Sakuras attention. 'He was right. That sky ninja was right! I'm gonna have Sasuke!' her train of thought was broken when Naruto started yelling and saying that he had already met Kabuto before.

The story then began with Naruto meeting with Kabuto in the first part of the Chunin Exams to find out just who one of those sky ninja were. He then said that the search resulted in Kabuto getting shocked by his own info cards which was a complete mystery to him and everyone else that saw it.

"So you couldn't find out anything about them, but instead you received more questions that could make you go insane if you thought about it long enough." Sasuke summarized the entire story with just one breathe, Kabuto nodded.

"I haven't seen them in battle yet, but when I do, I just hope it's not me against them." Kabuto replied.

"We've seen one before. He saved us from some snakes that a grass ninja sent after us." Naruto spoke out.

Both Kabutos and Sasukes eyes went wide as completely different thoughts went through their minds.

'What! I never saw any sky ninja, during that battle. Could it have been the reason why that grass freak let go of me?'

'The master has actually confronted one of them? And lost? No, that can't be, he must have already bitten Sasuke. That was his only objective. But this leads to thinking; who are these sky ninja!'

Kabuto was first to leave his thoughts and had spoken up. "I do apologize for trying to steal from you, but I must be off, my team is probably wondering where I am by now."

"Alright. Seeya later Kabuto." Naruto waved good-bye with his foxy grin plastered on his face. Kabuto nodded and vanished in a swirl of leaves, but not until he got a good look at the mark on Sasukes neck.

We find Kabuto reappeared only a few hundred yards from where team 7 was.

"So how's the masters pet?" a shinobi was leaning against a tree with a bandana covering up most of his face.

"Something's gone wrong with the curse mark." Kabuto replied.

"What happened?" another shinobi came down from the branch above.

"It's not complete. Our master must have been ripped off of Sasuke too soon."

"Will there be any side effects to it?"

"I don't know. But he is still alive so it was somewhat a success. Now only time can tell if he can handle it."

"I've never seen an incomplete curse mark. This is going to be interesting when we watch him fight."

"It will indeed." the three then disappeared into the trees to the tower.

(Team sky ninja)

The three sky ninja had met up with each other about an hour ago.

Now, we see that four to six ninja are down on the ground wounded or dead. Seirei was holding in his hand a heaven scroll, notifying that they have accomplished their task.

"Well brothers." Seirei turned to Musuko and Chichi who didn't even have a scratch on them. "We finally got a heaven scroll. We have been performing very well with our mission. But now, I believe we can kinda relax now."

"What do you mean, brother Seirei?" Musuko asked.

"I mean that we can now act like immature children and run like crazy to the tower screaming out random stuff, just for the fun of it."

"You truly did have a sense of humor when a fight was about." Chichi said which only gave Seirei an encouraging smile.

"Let's go!" Seirei held the scroll high up in the air as he shouted out 'WE GOT TWO SCROLLS! WE GOT TWO SCROLLS!'

Chichi and Musuko just shrugged and joined their brother in this running of the idiots. "WE GOT TWO SCROLLS! WE GOT TWO SCROLLS!"

(Team 7, near nightfall)

Naruto and the gang were leaping from branch to branch continuing their search for that one stupid scroll that they haven't found yet.

A growl was heard coming from Naruto now. More specifically, his stomach. "Man, I'm getting hungry. Shouldn't we be near the tower by now?"

"Yeah. We've been traveling for hours and still haven't seen even the rooftop of the tower." Sasuke didn't answer, he just looked forward with a thinking kind of stare. "Sasuke. What's the matter?"

"Something's not right. We're running around in circles." Narutos eyes went wide followed by Sakura.

The three then stopped and took a look at their surroundings. Everything seemed oddly familiar, in fact, it all looked the exact same.

"Are we...trapped in a genjutsu?" Sakura looked about her seeing everything was the same.

Sasuke nodded. "These guys are good too. That is with Genjutsu. They probably do this to tire out their opponent and then take them when they're weak, cowards."

"But a good plan." a voice from all around was heard by Team 7. "You guys are pretty tired. Now if you don't mind, we'll be taking your scroll." just then, twenty to thirty ninja arose from the ground like they were zombies.

"Clones." Sakura said as one arose from behind her to strike.

"Sakura look out!" a kunai went straight down the middle of the quiet assassin, diminishing it to a gooey puddle. Sakura looked around to expect that Naruto was going to ask if she was alright.

"Are you alright Sakura." this didn't surprise her whatsoever, but what did was that it wasn't Naruto who asked. It was Sasuke.

"Yeah, I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me." Sasuke smirked and went back to fighting the clones, which Naruto was enjoying so much.

Naruto was busy swinging around his limbs and yet not touching them. "That's a clone." another swing "That's a clone." another swing "Dang it! Which ones the real one." he continued to swing punches and kicks until his goal was complete.

Suddenly, the earth began to quake beneath their feet.

"What the heck is that?!" Naruto looked around as well as Sakura and Sasuke.

Finally, the cause showed up. "WE GOT TWO SCROLLS! WE GOT TWO SCROLLS!" yep you guessed it, the sky ninja, by luck, had showed up and running at full blast ready to plow down anything in their path. And what was in their path you ask? Why, the clones of course.

The sky ninja ran right through each and every one of them,. The three still screaming about them having two scrolls, they left as quickly and as strangely as the entered.

Everyone, including the enemy ninjas, stood completely still trying to think of what the heck had just happened. That was all changed when all the clones that Team 7 were fighting disappeared leaving only three ninja with gas masks standing in front of the.

"What the? How did that happen? We were underground!" the ninja that shouted then heard something that he really didn't want to hear. Knuckles cracking. "Oh man."

Sakura started the beatings with a few anger induced punches which left them completely open for Sasuke and Naruto to have their own fun. After what seemed hours to the enemy ninja, they were finally passed out from so much pain. Naruto leaned down and picked up a scroll that fell out of one of the shinobis pocket.

"Alright, we got a heaven scroll!"

"And look." Sakura pointed towards the direction that the sky ninja headed. "We're almost to the tower. The genjutsu must be down now." and with that, the three konoha nin ran straight to their much wanted destination.

When they reached the tower, Team 7 arrived at their door huffing for air. They finally made it. On the last night and basically the last hour, but they did it.

Entering they saw a large room. On the other side of them was a large statue of two hands in the form of a ram seal and an upper deck around the walls. Above the statue was a large poster with writing on it.

"What does that say Sakura." Naruto asked.

Sakura began translating. Once she did, she summarized that they must now open the scrolls.

Naruto took hold of the heaven scroll while Sakura had the earth scroll. Opening them at the same time, a puff of smoke exploded from the two scrolls. The team took battle position not knowing what was going to happen next.

"Congratulations, you passed the second par-" the voice could only say that much as a fist came out of nowhere and sent it flying into the air. Landing on the ground, Team 7 found out that it was Iruka, and that he was knocked out cold.

"Sakura." the kunoichi turned to Sasuke. "I understand you're a bit more aggressive. But this is taking it too far."

Sakura giggled "I'm sorry, I guess I don't my own strength."

"You can say that again." Naruto commented.

"Excuse me?"

"Nothing! Nothing."

Just then another puff of smoke appeared, this time the person walked out. It was the Hokage himself.

"So Iruka, is this our last team?" the Hokage didn't get an answer as he then realized that Iruka was out. "Am I to guess that you guys did this?" both Sasuke and Naruto pointed to Sakura who was now completely defenseless.

"I'm sorry, it was an accident."

"Don't worry. He's had worst. Well then, since you guys appear to be our last team who made it, you should probably be sent to your rooms. Tomorrow, we continue the exams." the Hokage then vanished in another puff of smoke leaving the three alone.

They went to their rooms to sleep for the night. But it seems that someone else was still awake.

"So, the curse mark is incomplete. This could lead to some problems."

"Also sir, I heard that you had an encounter with a mysterious ninja when you fought Sasuke."

"That I did. He must of been the one who made the mark incomplete. He punched me off the tree while I was still attached to Sasuke."

"These ninja could pose as a threat."

"Or a great ally, we still don't know whose side they are on yet. Let's just hope that they are on ours. And if they aren't, hopefully we can defeat them with ease."

"Anything else sir."

"Just keep an eye out, that is all."

Whats gonna happen next? Only way to find out is by waiting, reviews might speed up my process too. Well i gotta go, ttfn, ta ta for now!
