karoshi: lots of potential in this crowd. hanako: for what? sex? or a fight? karoshi: (smiles evily) both. (one of the boys from the cloud gets up on a table) cloud ninja: listen up everyone! names karumaru nodachi! im the guy from the cloud that will kick all of your asses! karoshi: i would object to that, karumaru was it? karumaru: ah, we have a challenger! you think you can beat me!? karoshi: of course not. i KNOW i can. karumaru: arnt we full of themselves? karoshi: indeed you are. (karumaru seems to be smiling evily the entier time as if hes enjoying himself) karumaru: listen kid, i dont have time to play with you. theres only one person in this village i want to fight. karoshi uchiha! the uchiha brat with the ten tails. he will give a real challnge. karoshi: indeed i will. karumaru nodachi eh? i will remember your name if you remember mine. im karoshi uchiha! your worst nightmare. karumaru: your the uchiha? not what i was expecting. they say your as ruthless as you are strong. i want to see it for myself. karoshi: if its a fight you want then ill take you on anywhere at anytime!
karumaru: here and now then! karoshi: (smiles evily) your on! ( karoshi draws his sword and swings but is blocked by a ninja fist knife, the same weapon as asuma, and karumaru seems to have two of them as well) karumaru: arnt you the eager one? karoshi: please, your smile says your looking forward to this as much as me. karumaru: finaly a real challenge! karoshi: same to you! ikiru: give it a rest you two, nows not the time. (both boys continue a fight that both seem to be enjoying and ignore ikiru) cloud girl: *sigh* ichimaru, if you will? ichimaru: (speaks with deep raspy voice) fine. (the two boys aim an attack and both swing but are interupted when the cloud boy named ichimaru is in between them holding both blades barehanded all in the same half-second) ichimaru: nows not the time, karumaru. karumaru: come on ichimaru, syama. syama: were here to register, not start the exams early. karoshi: damn it. well karumaru, i hope we meet on the battle field. karumaru: same to you karoshi. ikiru: i cant tell, were you both just trying to kill each other or having a party in the form of a fight? karoshi: the second one. (looks down at hand then clenches fist) karoshi: seems i enjoy a blood boiling fight...
(about 5 minutes later they come to the registration table) random chunin: geussing your sighning up? karoshi: yup. team 6. chunin: names? ikiru onoiyari, hanako dengen and karoshi uchiha (the man seems to flinch at karoshis name) chunin: i see. the first exam starts in about an hour ok? karoshi: ok. (they walk away) karoshi: (is clenching his fist obviously angry) ikiru: whats on your mind? karoshi: it was those eyes again...ikiru: what? karoshi: its nothing... hanako: ok. weird. ( about an hour later naruto walks in. many voices from the crowed are saying 'look its lord hokage") naruto: welcome genin. youve all made it. the chunin exams. the test to the level of chunin. congradulations to all of you. the exams are running, alittle different this year. there is a massive group of ninja hear so this years exams will be happen in 4 parts. a timed shinobi race, the forest of death challenge, the piliminary fights and the final part of the exams. the first part is what takes place now. its slightly simple. you ninja will have one week to race to the cloud village and back. chunin must be swift. the route usually takes 2 weeks to get to the cloud but with shinobi speed you may be able to pass. however, those who dont make it back within the time limit will loose and be sent back to being a genin. oh, and a word of warning, there are bandits and other skilled ninja roming the rout to the cloud. you will have to fight for your lives. remember to think, anlyze the situation and come up with a fitting solution. this is key to passing. the are many obstacles on the way there. its up to you to figure out how to do it. good luck students.
naruto: be quick as possible. the race starts in two hours, get rested and stretched. you will have a week to do this. (walks out of the room) karoshi: so its a deadly race first huh? ikiru: what do you guys say we do this like kings! hanako: couldent agree more. karoshi: lets get ready. (about 2 hours later all of the contestants are lined at the leaf gate awating the starting fire) sasuke: you all know the rules and know your way to the cloud. be carefull around the recently constructed bridge. its the only land route to the cloud. its bound to be gaurded. when you reach the cloud gate you will be given a red ribbon. keep it with you on your way back. in order to knock away the competition, students are permitted to attack other teams to take there ribbon on the 2nd part of the race. genin, get ready! ( all the students get into position) on your marks! (all students seem to be gulping with nerviousnes) get set!...GO! ( all students simeltaniously burst off to the cloud) sasuke: there they go. i hope karoshi, comes back ok. naruto: you aint gettin soft on me are ya? sasuke: like hell looser, im just alittle worried about my nephew. naruto: hes got a loyal team. if anyone can survive, its them.
(somewhere in the forest team 6 runs forward) karoshi: alright guys listen up, this race is a week long but we will shoot for the soonest time possible, avoid fights and run as fast as possible. ikiru: sounds like a plan. there will be plenty of fightning later : agreed...hey karoshi? karoshi: yeah? hanako: while we run i need to talk to you about something. karoshi: then go ahead. hanako: do remember anything from your fight with tazumaru? karoshi: no. still a gap. why? hanako: well im going to tell you about what REALLY happend when tazumaru hit you. karoshi: sensei said he took care of them. why would he lie? hanako: to protect you. karoshi: explain. hanako: when tazumaru hit you, you passed out. however your body remained standing. karoshi: standing? hanako: when you passed out, you were no longer yourself. tazumaru stoped shaking and staring at something, terrified about something. that was only moments before you impaled him with your sword. karoshi: i did what!? and i dont remember this? what do you mean "not yourself"? hanako: when i saw your eyes i became horrified, because your eyes we animalistic with snake pupils exept...they were blood red... karoshi: my eyes? hanako: no...they were the ten tails's eyes...karoshi: (speachless) ikiru: im afraid its true. you were on all 4s, and had 10 lightning tails sprouting as if you were the lightning tailed wolf, only smaller. it was you who killed them both. karoshi: i see. so those stab wounds werent from senseis blade, but the simeltanious impaling of them with multiple lightning tails.
ikiru: this dosent seem to supprise you. karoshi: it dosent. its happend before. when i was very young i used to loose myself often and attack villagers who ridiculed me. this is why the village hates me so. hanako: i see. and you cant controll it? karoshi: no. its chakra is to powerfull. ikiru: i see- (several cloaked men apear suddently and attack simeltaniously) karushi: what the!? hanako: (draws both short swords and in an instant takes down 5 of them. karoshi has watched this happen with his sharingan) karoshi: lets see if i can do that (imatating the same moves hanako just did he finishes the remaining 5) ikiru: hey, hey now, save some for me! karoshi: my bad. we'de better be going. (it has now been about 2 days into the 7 day time period. team 6 has moved swiftly encountering only small troubles like bandits, rouges and dangerous animals) karoshi: this is going smoothly so far. we should make it to the cloud either late tomarow or early the next day. ikiru: good. we have a good time period. ? stop where you are children karoshi: whos there (a strange man walks out with loing blonde hair and a very odd looking robe that is black with red cloud paterns on it. the robe seems to cover all his torso, arms and legs) man: my name is kukaku of the hidden sand village. state your bussines on the cloud path. karoshi: that headband is scratched. why? kukaku: its an old war injury. now state your bussiness. karoshi: we are participants in this years chunin exams. kukaku: i see. you there boy, is your name karoshi uchiha? karoshi: whats it to ya? kukaku: i was told to guide you through this part of the forest. all the way to the cloud. ikiru: then welcome abord kukaku! karoshi: best we get going, lest we fall behind. kukaku: very well. lets go. (while the 4 travel they begin talking) karoshi: so kukaku, tell us about yourself. kukaku: my full name is kukaku inuza, i was born and raised in the sand village as a puppet master shinobi. nowadays i serve a national orginization called the "akatsuki" we are a multi national group of highly skilled ninja that do free favors for the ninja world. ikiru: like what? kukaku: we hunt rouge ninja as well as do smaller tasks for villagers. karoshi: very cool. i may join someday. kukaku: im sure you would be welcomed.
ikiru: how far to the cloud village? kukaku: about another half a days run. well be there by later tonight. karoshi: good were making very good time. kukaku: indeed. ( as the day progresses the 4 have made it to the cloud gate) karoshi: guys we made it! kukaku: ah, the hidden cloud village. well this is where we part. your only obsticals are you fellow students and time limit. good luck you 3. karoshi: thank you. chunin: here is your ribbon. keep it with you and present it to naruto when you get back. (kukaku: walks casualy into the cloud village) hanako: ill hold on to the ribbon. ( ties the ribbon on her pony tail) cloud chunin: be on your way. karoshi: lets go guys ikiru: no problem. hanako: lets go. ( team6 begins the run back and about 30 minutes later they are ambushed by random genin) genin: hand over the ribbon and ill let you all live. ikiru: this one is mine guys. (ikirus right arm seems to discharging) genin: please, just give up! you will never win. ikiru: give up...trying to make me give up! (punches with right arm and his fist seems to collide with the air causeing a very loud thunderclap, at the same time the discharged lightning chakra creates a 4 foot wide, 4 foot high area of total distruction infront of him going out for about 30 feet) karoshi: (has sharingan active) that was awesome ikiru...where did you learn that? ikiru: made it myself. its a good attack. ? good thing it was so loud karoshi: who is there!?
(the cloud team jumps down from a tree) karoshi: here for the ribbon are we- karumaru: no. its a good thing we found you. you were just at the cloud village right? karoshi: yeah why? karumru: how was the village? karoshi: seemed normal to me. karumaru: when my team arrived there the village was in a state of emergency due to an attack. karoshi: what!? karumaru: did you see anything strange? karoshi: no. do you know who did it? karumaru: yes...it was only one man...hes a rouge shinobi from the sand. hes extremely powerfull and was able to attack the village and steal a speacial seal scroll all while fighting jonin off. karoshi: do you have a name? karumaru: yes. he was called "kukaku" team 6: *total shock*
