Nightmare: Hey guys sorry I couldn't update sooner

Dosu: So what's the excuse this time

Nightmare: my router short circuited so I had to get a new one but it took forever.

Dosu: exact...wait what? U had a good reason?

Nightmare: Of course man bloody hell

Nodoka: Well it could be worse

Nightmare: yes I could be a drunk

Konoka: I thought that you were

Nightmare:...just because I drink a couple of bottles here and there doesn't mean I'm a drunk. Anyway I don't own the characters or the anime itself but I do own this story so lets start.

Intro song: Deprival and Naturally(by XodiacK)

Everyone who was left which was quite a lot of people walked through the hole to find a huge forest with trees as tall as skyscrapers. Everyone who wasn't from Konoha didn't know what this was but it was about to be explained.

"Alright." Shouted Anko. "This is the forest of death this is going to be the place of your second exam, the test of combat, what you have to do is very simple. Half of you will receive an earth scroll and the other half has the heaven scroll. The objective is simple just get the other scroll from the one of the other squads."

Everyone nodded in understanding after all this can't be a proper chuunin exam without getting their hands a little dirty. Everyone had to go sign a form just to say that they are able to compete and they are responsible to whatever happens to them. Once everyone signed these forms they lined up in front of the forest and waited for some kind of signal. While they was waiting Sakura was looking at Nightmare from the corner of his eyes watching him closely she knew he was planning something but she didn't have any evidence of it but her gut instincts told her something was wrong and that he was strangely familiar. Nightmare saw her staring at him and he chuckled to himself slightly, her distrust of him would be...useful for his plans. Meanwhile he saw some dude who was 'making a move' on Nodoka and for some strange reason he wanted to snap his neck like a twig and make him suffer but he didn't know why and that infuriated him.

When Anko blew her whistle everyone assumed that was the signal and they all jetted off into the forest in different directions. About 10 minutes later Gaara's squad got into contact with its enemy.

"Well, well what do we have here the famous Gaara Sabaku, the demon of the desert, oh man those rumours were full of shit." Said the leader.

"are they now? Perhaps you would prove that to me." Gaara replied coldly while the other guy looked fearful of him now.

"S-s-sure yeah I'll prove everyone wrong, I shigure of the hidden mist will destroy you." He smiled confidently as he threw his umbrella in the air and it spun and it released thousands of shurikens and kunais in all directions. Some of them ended on the ground creating a field of dust between him and Gaara. He was so confident that he started to walk away laughing. When all of a sudden he couldn't move his right foot it was as if something was holding it.

When the dust cleared up he looked to find Gaara completely intact, the kunais and shurikens were stopped by the floating sand around him and when he looked down a sand hand was holding him down. He pleaded for his pathetic life but Gaara being Gaara wasn't having any of it. Soon the hand wrapped all around his body and Gaara controlled the sand to pick him up.

"please I'll do anything just don't kill me." Shigure pleaded but Gaara simply replied

"You signed your death wish when you attacked me." He coldly replied and crushed his entire body, it was so quick and yet so painful. Blood was scattered all over the place while shigure's two teammates quickly stepped back.

"H-here's our scroll just take it man, take it and leave us alone." One of the teammates asked very fearful of what he was going to do to them.

"...Thank you and now it's your turn." Gaara said as sand wrapped around both of them and utterly crushing their bodies almost into dust. Of course Temari and Kankurou felt they were like third wheels to him because of their fear.

"Let's go." Gaara said sternly and finally Kankurou had enough and held him by the collar which of course he wasn't expecting but had not shown it in his face.

"Listen Gaara I'm sick of you keep bossing us around all the time and making us feel adequate."

"Is that so? You do realise what I can do, just because your my sibling doesn't mean that I won't kill you." Gaara replied while Kankurou replaced his anger with fear of him yet again and immediately let go of him.

"Now...let's go." Gaara ordered as he moved on ahead while the siblings just looked at each other with scared faces and quickly followed him.

Meanwhile Nightmare's team exploring the forest in search of enemies for their scrolls and blood. They were deep in the forest while something caught Nightmare's edge of his eye, it was Nodoka and that other bloke he who saw, he was holding her collar and pushing her into a tree he knew that he had to help her after all she could be useful for his plan.

"Erm guys I got to do something real quick go on without me I'll be right back." Nightmare said stopping.

"Why?" Dosu asked looking puzzled while Nightmare directed Dosu's gaze using his eyes towards Nodoka and then he immediately understood

"Oh ok let's go guys." He ordered while Kin just looked at him and he had a look that said 'tell you later'. So Dosu, Kin and Zaku left to go in search while Nightmare stealthily went down to say his greetings to this pathetic man.

"Look Nodoka I know you love me and I love you so why can't you accept your feelings." He said looking desperate.

"I don't know maybe it's because I don't have any feelings for you now fuck off!" She yelled being pissed off with him.

"I can't do that Nodoka because I know what you want and only I can give it to you." He was moving his face closer to hers while she turned away from him but he kept grabbing her head and keeping it straight. About 1 second before they kissed, Nightmare most fortunately interrupted them as he jumped down behind him.

"Hello am I interrupting something?" Nightmare asked the guy just looked at him in disgust.

"So your the one who's brainwashed Nodoka eh? Well buddy you just signed your death wish." He shouted at him while Nightmare was confused was just plain confused with him but he didn't show it. The guy screamed and charged at him with his kunai but when he was close enough Nightmare gave him a strong punch to the stomach. He groaned with agony as he bent down.

He wasn't finished there though, Nightmare then kneed him and hooked him in his right jaw and sent him flying and he slammed against another tree. Nightmare picked him up by his collar and was about to use his deadly jutsu when Nodoka just shouted "STOP!" He just looked at her questionably.

"Let him go Nightmare!" He was confused as to why she would say that but for some reason he did comply even though he wanted to make him suffer. The boy just dropped to his knees and was coughing up blood and Nodoka just walked up to him, he thought that she finally accepted his feelings for her but instead she punched him in his left jaw and kicked him while he was down a couple of times and she continually beaten him while Nightmare just looked at her in amazement and had an interested look in his face.

"Now get out of here!" She ordered and he immediately scarpered off not before yelling "Don't worry babe I'll keep loving ya but your boyfriend is gonna die."

"Wow you have...interesting friends." Nightmare said.

"He's not my friend just a fucking stalker, his name is Ichirou Junichi I just said hi to him one day when he was alone and now he thinks I love him.

"Wow what a dumbass, why did you let him go though I would've killed him.

"Meh I have a feeling you will soon and besides if I might as well make his life as painful as possible."

"...You are an interesting woman." Nightmare intriguely(sp?) replied and then remembered he had to go back to his team.

"I best be off see you later." He waved at her as he jumped on the branches and went off to join his squad while Nodoka just stood there surprised by him and interested, she did hope that they meet again but she didn't know why and that infuriated her. She went looking back for her own squad but she was always thinking about him.

When Nightmare rejoined his squad he found them just standing, waiting for something to happen.

"Oh Nightmare your just in time Orochimaru-sama is about to make his move." Zaku greeted while pointing at Sakura's squad meeting Orochimaru in disguise and so Nightmare just watched this unfold.

"Hello Sasuke." Orochimaru greeted

"Who are you?" Sasuke replied.

"I'm someone who can help you gain what you seek." He explained offering his teachings to him.

"Sasuke don't listen to him he can't help you with anything let's take him down." Naruto shouted while Orochimaru just evily smiled at him.

"If that's the case then by all means try to hit me...if you can." He smirked while doing hand seals for a summoning jutsu. When it was successful a giant snake leapt out of the ground and tried to eat Naruto while he was dodging but eventually he was swallowed and the snake slithered away.

"Naruto!" Sakura screamed as she went off to chase the snake leaving Sasuke all alone with Orochimaru which is a terrible thing to have done.

"Now that their gone Sasuke-Kun come with me I have something to show you." He hissed as he led Sasuke closer to him and made him follow him deep in the forest. Nightmare was of course pleased with this course of action.

"Now that Orochimaru and Sasuke is gone now is the perfect time to show ourselves to evaluate the enemy." Nightmare smirked deviously as he ordered the squad to follow them.
