(crowed cheers) sasuke: naruto, have the judges decided on anything yet? naruto: theres talk among them but nothing official. i suspect well have to air the results on the leaf news tonight. give em enough time to reach a decision. sasuke: i see. so? naruto:so...what? sasuke: how do you think they did? karoshi and ikiru? naruto: hmm. good question. ive never seen two genin fight with such power. by the way, what do you make of that chakra that was spewing out of ikiru? sasuke: sharingan couldent make heads or tails of it. its unkown entierly. naruto: i see. ill have some of my best men look into it. not sure well find much though. (finnaly a few hours pass and karoshi awakens in the hospital with ujinomaru, hanako and the cloud team all sitting around his hospital bed) karoshi: unnn...where am i? ujinomaru: look whos awake. glad to see youve come to karoshi. karumaru: knew ya couldent have died on me! welcome back. you and ikiru beat eachother so bad the doc thought you two were finished. but your bodys are healing at an unreal rate! karoshi: ikiru? oh! the exams! how did? hanako: you and ikiru used those jutsus in your hands and collided them. you both were knocked out as a result. the battle was called a tie.

karoshi: a tie? ikiru: thats right (is laying in hospital bed next to his) apperently those jutsus were even more powerfull than we could have thought (smiles like naruto does with eyes closed and big almost dumb grin) karoshi: *smiles* well ikiru...guess were evenly matched. ikiru: nah. i was holding back. karoshi: the hell you were. i woulda kicked your ass if i had been at full power! ikiru: yeah right! you were at full power! karoshi: stop acting like you wernt! (all the others in the room just laugh histaracly) ikiru and karoshi: what!? ujinomaru: just relax you two. the news is about to come on. i geuss youd like to see who passed on and became a chunin right? (the tv is turned up) tv anchor: tonights top story, the chunin exams comes to a dramatic close. through each event of the exams the genin fought so hard to make it. we have here a list of those who passed on. we will read about each. hailing from the hidden cloud, the only to graduate from the cloud is karumaru nodachi. he showed corage in the face of danger and the mind to get the job done perfectly. coming from the hidden leaf, lord hokages very own child, and gentile fist user, hinata uzumaki has passed for bravery and her tenacity.

news anchor: also hailing from the leaf, twin blade master and amature medical ninja hanako dengen has risin to the rank of chunin. and from the leaf, one of the strongest leaf genin ikiru omoiyari has passed to chunin. and...this just in. the final disicion by the judges. after a heated debate the most contraversial desicion has been made. from the leaf, fire jutsu master and swords man, plus the ten tails jinchuriki host, karoshi uchiha has passed to the rank of chunin. ujinomaru: i dont belive it...my whole team has passed to become chunin...(the three children are going wild celebrating) karumaru: how do ya like that!? karoshi moved up with me! ichimaru: enough with your gloating, blood thirsty moron. karumaru: your just jelous cause i passed and you dident. ichimaru: you little...wanna fight? karumaru: im going to beat you down! (ichimnaru and karumaru fight in a corner while team 6 continues there celebration.) news anchor: also this just in from jonin patroling the south border. it is belived that kukaku inuza of the newly formed akatsuki has been seen with an unknown figure. be wary and be on the look out for a man with long blond hair wearing a large black robe with red cloud paterns and a man with very large red hands with him. karoshi: kukaku...and another man with large hands? like what we heard in the forest of death. ujinomaru sensei, was anyone able to figure out about the massicre in the forest of death? ujinomaru: nothing. exept kukaku was the culprit for sure. his chakra signature was found all over the victems. karoshi: *clenches fist* to think we met him...it must have been just after the kills. ujinomaru: calm down. there sending teams after him right now.

hanako: im with karoshi here. after what we saw its hard to imagine the soft spoken gentile man we met during the race was behind two massicres. what did they want at the cloud? ujinomaru: a scroll. they wanted the clouds seeling scroll. dunno why. its all sealing jutsus in it. nothing that would benifit akasuki. ? dont forget that they are akatsuki and they always have a reason for there actions. (all turn to see naruto and sasuke walk in the room) karoshi: uncle sasuke...lord hokage...sasuke: congrats on the promotion everyone. hard to belive so many have passed this year its amazing isent it naruto? naruto: you have no idea. even my own flesh and blood passed. (hinata apears from behind naruto acting shy) hinata: glad you passed karoshi...karoshi: you t-to hinata. you were amazing out there! hinata: you to. ive never seen such power from a low ranker like us. karoshi: same. nice mastering the rasengan. even if it is downgraded. ikiru: want some alone time? (karoshi kicks ikirus broken leg) ikiru: owwwww! hanako: you should realy start to see that coming by now. hold still. (starts treating his leg) karoshi: maby you to need some alone time-hanako: go no further! like this is any different from your crush on hinata! (hinatas face turns totaly red and karoshi is blushing big time)

ikiru: see there it is. whenever someone mentions you and her and relationship you both blush hard core. karoshi: how about your unatruly confusing reactions to you and hanako? same princable. ujinomaru: you guys practacly just admited to your crushes about likeing them...(hanako and hinata have red faces and can hardly move) naruto: well me and sasuke will be leaving. come on ujinomaru. (face turns serious) i need to speak with you about something very importent. ujinomaru: yes sir. stay as long as you need to guys. the boys will be in those beds for a while. dont do anything inaproprate now...(hinata faints with a strangly calm sigh and hanakos face is a deep red) karoshi: she fainted...wait...is it more humid in here now? (meanwhile with naruto and ujinomaru) ujinomaru: so what is it lord hokage? naruto: well...ive got some worries about karoshi. during the exams he used its chakra. he maintained controll cause i could teach him how to controll a small amount of the ten tails chakra. however i made a startaling discovery during our training. ujinomaru: what happened?

naruto: well...karoshi and i started our training. i examined his seal witch was holding the ten tails down. the seal has gotten signifigantly weaker than when it was sealed into him as a baby. now i expected a small amount of weakening due to the amount of power the ten tails possesses. but this much was beyond my expectations. ujinomaru: what are you saying? naruto: whatever happens do not let karoshi get very angry. if he does the ten tails will find its holding on karoshis hate. while we trained he became enraged about his own weekness. that escalated into a very powerfull rage against the village. the bijus cloak apeard and he sprouted seven tails. ujinomaru: S-SEVEN!? naruto: yes. karoshis rage was so powerfull that the ten tails could controll him to the 7th tail. if karoshi goes through such rage again, he will distroy everything. the ten tails is a ferocious beast more powerfull than all the previous kage. its power can consume karoshi and erode his kindess into nothing. making him the most dangerous threat to man kind.

ujinomaru: your kidding? karoshi has that much distructive potential in him? sasuke: and more. were only discribing the potential of a biju cloaked 7 tailed karoshi. a fully released ten tails is more than 20 times as dangerous. ujinomaru: what can be done with so much power? sasuke: this is where things get rough. only two things can happen. and the other option...is not an option to us. either karoshi learns how to keep it under his controll or...naruto: theres been some talk among the black opps that the answer is killing the ten tails by killing karoshi...ujinomaru: what! why would they!? sasuke: dont forget this village has little love for him. his distructive personality and inability to conbtroll the ten tails has the village nervious. they hate him. and want him dead. ujinomaru: i dont know how karoshi goes through this alive. by all means he should have commited suicide years ago. naruto: yeah. hes been through a hell even worse than my own.

ujinomaru: and what of this new akatsuki? naruto: not sure. there goal and leaders remain a mystry. i have indentified two of the akatsukis members however. first is kukaku inuza. hes a former sand puppet master. they call him the second coming of sasori exept he possesses no puppet. his chakra strings are his weapon. and aperently hes fearsome like that. the other is... a huge problem. ujinomaru: explain. naruto: have you ever heard of a man named itsuchi komura? better known as wasp? ujinomaru: i do not. sasuke: wasp is the only known jinchuriki besides bee, naruto and karoshi. ujinomaru: that is not possible. all the others were killed for the 4th great ninja world. sasuke: we thought so to. but we made a startling discovery.

sasuke: listen. a biju is a massive hunk of chakra that became so powerfull it took form and life. during the 4th great ninja war, there was so much released chakra, that several new biju were created. like the previous biju there power is mesured by there tails. and wasp possesses the most troublesome one. an 8 tailed dragon. ujinomaru: no way...a biju is in the akatsuki? wait...that means they have a different goal from the previous akatsuki. sasuke: bingo. they want something different. i think they will try and take the other biju as well but there location is unknown. as for wasp, he is a former cloud ninja. his weapon is a large 3 bladed sythe. its blades are rather thin. capable of killing easily. his hair is exactly like madara uchihas. covered eye and all. also he does not have his own chakra system. his biju witch is under his compleate controll is his chakra source. they work together almost willingly. its scary. sasuke: our enemy is very powerfull. we know not where there are yet. itll be sometiume before we engage them directly. also kukaku seemed to be looking for someone. i would be carefull. odds are after after karoshi.
