Nightmare: Hey guys another chapter is here for you to enjoy and review

Dosu: A bit slow wasn't it

Nightmare: Well since college is finished I have been sleeping too much now its time for the darkness to rise again.

Sasori: Oh man

Nightmare: Oh come on I'm not that bad!

Sasori: Not you its Deidara

Nightmare: God what happened?

Sasori: She doesn't love me and im trying to figure out why.

Nightmare: Yes well…wait SHE!

Sasori: Yes, she's a woman who is reasonably attractive and has a surprising number of fan girls.

Nightmare:…He's a fucking man you retard!

Sasori: Oh well that explains a lot

Nightmare: Just like I don't own Naruto or its characters now let's crack on.

Intro song: monster (by Skillet)

Sakura went back to Naruto just to find Sasuke lying there aswell next to him and they were both beginning to wake up. Gaara re-joined his team after a bit of searching. When Naruto and Sasuke were finally able to stand they felt a bit groggy.

"Hey guys." She beamed with excitement.

"Hey" they both replied. Naruto noticed the scroll that they needed was in Sakura's hand.

"Where did you get that?" He questioned.

"Gaara gave it to me as a present. Now come on lets get out of here." Sasuke wanted to argue her but he couldn't be arsed. So they started travelling to the dome where the next test will begin.

Meanwhile in the deeper part of the forest

"So you didn't get the sharingan I take it?" Dosu questioned.

"Of course not I was about to but Itachi stopped me before I could remove them."

"Wait Itachi what was he doing here?" Kin questioned immediately.

"Spying on me most likely, ordered by that fucking leader!" Nightmare shouted.

"Why? It doesn't make any sense?"

"I don't know perhaps he doesn't trust me or wants me kept on a leash to serve his ideals. No matter I shouldn't have gone for Sasukes eyes anyway they might have the potential but that alone is not enough. I should go for the phoenix rather than the fledgling but it is not a concern as of yet." Nightmare answered.

"Hey you!" A voice shouted in the forest, they stopped immediately and three weak genins jumped in front of them.

"We'll take that scroll of yours if you don't mind."

"Looks like we have some guests. Do you want them?" Dosu asked.

"Oh hell yes I need something to kill." Nightmare said and a short but a painful scream echoed throughout the forest for a second and then became silence.

Sakura and her team arrived at the dome and saw a sign on the door it read 'The earth is the strength of the world, the heaven is the mind both must be with each to achieve perfect harmony.' She was confused by this however she figured out that she had to open the scrolls and lay them on the floor. Suddenly two jounins emerged from the scrolls.

"Well done you figured it out you are allowed to pass." The team went inside and saw a huge arena with platforms to stand and watch, this was an arena designed for one on one combat. Sakura saw Gaara looking at the arena and she saw something peculiar she saw one eye had an emerald colour while the other eye had a gold tinted colour and that half was smiling with bloodlust, she decided to leave it for the time being but she knew she had to keep an eye on him since he or shukaku rather would be a little unpredictable.

Meanwhile in the forest Nightmare just finished with that pathetic group of genins.

"Useless, pathetic weaklings. The darkness has consumed them and it will only be a matter of time before this world joins them."

"remind me never to get on your bad side." Dosu said

"Noted now lets join the others in this dome area thing." Nightmare replied so they went to the dome and found the surviving teams that survived. He also saw Sakura staring at Gaara and looked at him, smiling deviously to himself as he knows what to do with him. They got to a spot to stand on and watched anxiously to see what happens next. Suddenly a poof of smoke covered the arena and when it cleared it showed the examiners plus the hokage himself.

"Well done young ninjas you have survived the last two challenges however there is still too many of you that's why you will compete in a surprise third challenge where you will fight one on one with randomly selected opponents." The hokage stated while most people looked a bit shocked.

"The first match will be Nightmare vs Ichirou Junichi" the examiner named Hayate replied while coughing a little bit of blood.

"Wow I was right you go get to kill him." Nightmare turned around to find Nodoka leaning on the wall with her arms crossed.

"You read minds, you tell the future can you also levitate objects and create a forcefield around yourself by any chance?" He joked.

"Nah at least not yet go on kill him while you have the chance." She asked and he obliged turning around and going into the arena. Ichirou jumped down from the top platform trying to be a badass but he is still hurt from his previous attack and struggled to keep straight.

"You bastard you stole the girl I loved and now you will die!" He shouted at him while Nightmare just scoffed.

"You're a pathetic excuse for a ninja did you know that? She was never yours and you know she was too good for you so you stalked her, admiring her from afar as you know she will never accept someone as weak as you."

"That's it! Your fucking dead!" He yelled and he charged forward to him. Nightmare was just standing there holding a hand over his eye. He was getting closer and closer but Nightmare done nothing. When he was close enough however he removed his hand from his eye and Ichirou just looked at it while moving then one second later he dropped onto the floor. His lifeless corpse stopped just before touching Nightmare's feet.

Nightmare just nudged him with his foot to check if he was alive, it didn't move.

"looks like he's dead. How did that happen?" Nightmare asked.

"I don't know but we'll analyse him in the mean time you won by default." Hayate responded. Nightmare just shrugged his shoulders and went to his team while smirking the entire time that no one noticed, well almost no one. Sakura, Gaara and even Naruto saw that he was hiding something. Nightmare and Dosu walked out to get some fresh air.

Meanwhile a medical forensic team put him on a stretcher and took him to the autopsy for examination to see how he died.

"You are such a convincing actor you know. Do you think it was wise to use that special jutsu of yours." Dosu asked.

"Thanks man and I think it doesn't really matter, not really since they will not notice anything is wrong yet until they open the body but they can't prove it was my fault can they? I need to talk to the organisation for my report. You need to go back there just in case they get suspicious."

"Got it, you just tell them your damn report."

The two went off in there separate ways. Nightmare found a spot in the darkness near the dome that was perfect to establish communications. He got there and sat in a meditating position where his mind had established it. Where he and 8 other people showed up were standing in a circle in holograms.

"hey guys what's up?"

"Your late Nightmare" Said the man with purple eyes.

"Sorry I had to wait for my turn to fight luckily I was first."

"I trust things are going well?"

"Of course the plan by Orochimaru is proceeding well, both jinchuriki are in sight and the sound village invasion will be ready by the end of the month and when its finished, the village will have seen better days." Nightmare chuckled.

"Oh I was meaning to ask you do you know where Itachi is leader?"

"I stationed him at the hidden cloud. Why?"

"No reason at all, I better be off before they get too suspicious." Nightmare's hologram vanished.

"He's hiding something about Itachi." The big puppet replied.

"Of course he is! Itachi just loves to get involved in everyones business. Hm!"

"It doesn't matter just as long he gets us the information we need." The leader replied.

"that's all dismissed." All of the holograms in the circle disappeared. Nightmare went back to the dome to find a couple of fights have been finished. Sasuke won his fight and so did Naruto with his fight. It was now Shikamaru vs Kin. He stood next to Dosu who looked a little tense.

"What did I miss then?"

"Nothing interesting Gaara has yet to fight, how was the report?" Dosu asked

"The usual, however leader didn't order Itachi to come here."

"Really then why was he here for?"

"His fucking brother, during the massacre of his clan Itachi spared his life."

"Why?"

"It's obvious enough isn't it? However let Sasuke deal with him we'll see who is the stronger soon enough."

While they were chatting Kin managed to catch Shikamaru with her bells which made him see several sound clones. However She was being careless and overconfident which gave Shikimaru the chance to use his shadow clone jutsu. He possessed her shadow which forced her to let go of her bells which made her sound clones disappear. She had the look of fear in her eyes as he grabbed a shuriken from his pouch which made Kin do the same. She had a feeling about what was going to happen, he was going to kill them both!

Shikamaru threw the shuriken and so did Kin however just before it reached them, they bent backwards which made Kin smash her head on the wall leaving a small trail of blood trickling down. Shikamaru assumed she was finished and released the jutsu however Kin smiled as her confidence shot up realising he let his guard up. She shot up and released strings from her gloves which emitted a high frequency sound. Shikamaru screamed as it was beginning to shake his body, he found himself becoming increasingly dehydrated and woozy but he didn't know why.

Kin released the set of strings from her left glove and used the right one to fling him to the wall, then to the other one and finally hovered him up and brought him down face first. She let go as she was again overconfident that she was going to win. He was struggling to get up but when he did he was groggy wondering around a bit.

"Anything to say before you stay down for good?" She asked with pleasure.

"Yeah actually you should look behind you."

"What wh-" She was interrupted as a shadow hand grabbed her throat and began choking her, the shadow was coming off the platforms. She was getting wheezy and holding her throat even though that accomplished nothing. She went on her knees, looked at Dosu one last time and she fell to the ground, unconsciously.

Dosu was getting ready to jump in but Nightmare stopped him.

"She is not dead, just unconscious alright you can make him pay soon enough."

Dosu knew he was right so he stepped down but he still couldn't stand the sight of her lying on the floor as if she was dead. Hayate announced Shikamaru the winner and he went to the medical room to make himself recover while a medical team picked up Kin and took her to the hospital.

"The next match will be Sabaku no Gaara vs Rock Lee!" Hayate announced and Nightmare was going to watch this battle with interest to see if he actually needed to make Shukaku come out and play.

Ending song: Stay down (by Revoker)

Nightmare: That's all you people are getting

Dosu: Why!

Nightmare: for more reviews and more anticipation that's why even though the fight scenes are crap.

Kin: Really? I got beaten by being choked!

Nightmare: It's better than the anime fight where you got beaten by smashing your head against the wall.

Kin: hmm…Touche

Nodoka: next update by any chance?

Nightmare: Soon ok god I can't rush these even tho their shite

Nodoka: you should have more confidence in yourself.
