KONOHA'S MAELSTROM
Chapter Five A NEW PLAYER
Naruto sat in his throne room his face was devoid of any emotion his face was completely unreadable his head was resting on his knuckles his gaze reached all of his captains but he focused on none of them "What is the current skill level of the rookie nine?" Questioned Naruto.
Danzo spoke smoothly in his monotone voice "The rookie nine have all made great strides and each one of them have a good grasp of there elemental affinity along with there associated clan Ninjutsu."
Naruto absentmindedly nodded "How do you believe they will fair in the chunin exam Kakashi?"
"I believe that the teams will perform adequately in the chunnin exams." Spoke kakashi in a lazy drawl.
Danzo coughed indignantly gaining everyone attention "Emperor it has been brought to my attention Orochimaru is the Kage of the sound village and has requested an audience with you."
All the captains shifted their gaze to Naruto who seemed bored as ever 'Indeed, he is attending the chunin exam along with the Kazekage."
Danzo eyes widen along with the rest of the captains. Kakashi voiced his concern "My lord they are obliviously working together this could be the invasion Mizuki spoke of."
Naruto smiled ominously "That's what I'm hoping for."
All of captains were confused by the emperors ambiguous words and waited for him to explain himself. However he never did, eventually Naruto broke the silence with a sigh of great boredom he never entered the chunin exam so he had no understanding of what transpired during the event "Where does the first stage of the chunin exam transpire?'
(Konohamaru pov)
"Hey Sakura what do you think about Captain Kakashi-sensei nominating us for the chunin exam?" asked Konohamaru in a serious tone which was quite odd since he was a very exuberant.
Sakura looked down and shuffled her feet a bit nervously " I'm pretty sure we'll do good after all we did get trained by the legendary Sannin, but I'm not sure people die in these exams this isn't a game were risking our lives."
Konohamaru quieted down after Sakura's response but responded with excitement "Well duh Sakura were ninja's of course we risk our lives, why should this be any different besides were an awesome team even with Sai."
Sai said no words at Konohamaru's response and made no movement to act on his words "Yeah I guess your right, cha there's no way we can lose we've learned a lot under Kakashi-sensei's training."
Konohamaru nodded his head furiously in agreement "Yeah that's what I'm telling you, anyway lets go get something to eat I'm starving." And with that Konohamaru bolted forward with Sakura following him in the distant.
"Oof" said Konohamaru upon hitting another object "Watch it kid" said Kankuro.
Kankuro was a puppeteer with paint on his face, his sister stood by him Temari with blond hair and huge fan strapped to here back.
Konohamru got albeit slowly and spoke with his confident smile "My fault man, hey you're here for the chunin exam right?"
Kankuro looked a bit taken back, and looked at the ten your old and said with amusement "Yeah how do you know that brat?"
Konohamaru gave Kankuro a smirk and said "I'm in it too duh, and you better watch out cuz I'm the best Genin around.'
Kankuro laughed, and not a small laugh; Kankuro was on the ground holding his side laughing outright at Konohamaru, Kankuro managed to speak in between pants "You pant the best pant Genin pant, that's to much kid, and you said leaf nin don't have any sense of humor Temari, this kids a riot!.'
Konohamaru lost all the mirth in his eyes. His eyes narrowed in anger his happy go lucky tone was replaced with a cold calculated killer that immediately shut up Kankuro "You shouldn't' judge a book by its cover sand nin."
Kankuro for his part was unable to produce any words and could only nod his dumbly. "Hey Konohamaru were are you?" Yelled Sakura
Konohamaru smiled at Sakura back to his jovial self "Over here Sakura."
Kankuro looked at Konohamaru awkwardly what's wrong with this kid.
"Kankuro get up off the floor." Spoke Gaara who appeared from nowhere.
Kankuro eyes widen and got up to his feet with great haste Gaara then said in a calm but sort of an excited tone "What's your name?" he pointed at Konohamaru. Konohamaru replied in an emotionless tone "You'll find out during the chunin exams." Sakura looked at the trio confusedly
Gaara nodded his head and said menacingly "I look forward to it." Gaara's group then left via shushin.
"What was that about Konohamaru?' asked Sakura.
Konohamaru looked at Sakura and said with a smirk "Competition."
(Tomorrow at the chunin exam)
While they were walking down the hallway Sai said "Sakura, Konohamaru, it would be wise for us to keep a low profile during this exam and not attract any unwanted attention toward us. We must never lose focus we are ninja we must remain vigilant at all times."
The group nodded in understanding. Konohamaru and his team walked into their classroom, when they got there they saw over at least a hundred genins in the room.
Konohamaru continued to walk, "Hey guys come over here we've been waiting for you." yelled Ino to the trio.
Konohamaru sighed "So much for discretion."
After a couple of minutes the Team 7 reunited with the rest of rookie genins. Kiba said
"Konohamaru we trained extremely hard and we won't be losing to you brat." Konohamaru didn't reply he walked to a near by wall and just leaned on it he closed his eyes and remained focus on his task at hand.
After more small talk, a boy with glasses maybe in his sixteen's approached the group and said "You guys really should be quieter you don't want to attract attention to you guys." Konohamaru finally spoke and said in a deadly tone "Who exactly are you and what do you want?"
The boy spoke up and said " My name is Kabuto I'm a fellow Konoha Shinobi, I just wished to be of assistance to you guys, the chunin exam is quite difficult, with some help you guys could probably pass, I have all type of information on any ninja here."
Kiba spoke up said "I want info on Konohamaru." Konohamaru didn't bother to pay attention to Kiba he was more concerned with Kabuto.
Kabuto took out a card and said "Konohamaru Sarutobi grandson of the third Hokage, was requested to be trained by the Sannin Jiraiya under directs orders from the Emperor. Skills wow, Ninjutsu skills chunin, he's able to use two affinities at his age fire and earth, he uses a bo staff like his grandfather excels in hand to hand combat, low to med Chunin strength, he doesn't use Genjutsu, he graduated the academy at an early age of 8 and is the youngest Genin at this exam."
Konohamaru eyes showed brief surprise he thought how did he know that the Emperor told Jiraiya sensei to become my sensei
Kabuto said "Wow kid you're quite the ninja."
Kiba then said "Come on dude, your cards must be busted, Konohamaru can't be that good I mean he's the youngest of us."
Everyone one in the whole classroom went deadly silent all interested in the kid prodigy. Gaara was shaking with anticipation he thought yes you will do well you shall prove my existence.
Ibiki puffed into existence with a group of ninja. He instructed everyone to their seat. Ibiki than spoke up and said "The first rule of the test is that the test is made up of 10 question each question is worth 1 point. Anyone caught cheating will have 2 point deducted from their score, those that lose all their point or don't get any point will fail the test and be sent back to the academy."
Everyone paled visibly. Ibiki then said "Start."
Sai sat their for a moment and finally decoded the true meaning of the test. He looked over to Konohamaru, Konohamaru gave a less than perceptible nod towards Sai; they both looked toward Sakura who nodded to them.
Konohamaru and Sai both then flashed through a couple of hand seals. Konohamaru muttered summoning Jutsu where he summoned a small ape who scurried on the floor and kept its presence hidden and began to get the answer for Konohamaru while Sai, made a couple of ink rats that gathered the information for him, while Sakura actually knew the answer and answered them accordingly.
Most of the ninja's there decoded the meaning of the test and cheated accordingly, but a lot of the ninja failed to do so correctly and were eliminated from the exam. Ibiki then spoke up and said
"Final question will decide if you pass or fail."
Most of the ninja erupted in anger. Ibiki unleashed killing intent forcing them to be quiet he continued and said "Those who do not take the final question, will lose all their points, If you take the test and fail it you will cease your life as a ninja. The only way out is to wait and take it again next year."
Konohamaru sat their and thought it over This whole test has been used to weed out the weak and has not been straight forward , He's been trying to break down our mind, so the point of this test is to weed out the weak again I see.
Konohamaru waited for a couple of ninja to leave then he stood up straightly. Everyone in the class eyes' widen greatly, the boy wonder kid was giving up. Konohamaru then spoke up and said in a confident exuberant tone "C'mon who cares if we won't get to take the test again I mean the Emperor never even took the chunin exam and look how he's doing."
Konohamaru small speech gave the group the confidence they needed to stay. Ibiki sighed and said "You all pass." Everyone erupted in confusion. Ibiki then proceeded to explain the purpose of the test.
After the test was done Konohamaru saw a bundle or bag of some sort burst threw the window. He then threw a kunai pinning the bag to the floor. After a minute of trying to get out a woman came out and unleashed a good dose of killing intent forcing all that were not used to killing intent to tremble. She then said in a deadly tone "Who was it that threw the kunai?"
Immediately everyone pointed to Konohamaru, even his own team.
Sell outs
Konohamaru waved his hands frantically and said "Sorry, sorry, I mistaken you for an enemy."
She then disappeared from view and replied in Konohamaru's ear "You shouldn't speak so freely we're not exactly on friendly terms; I'm going to get you back."
After that she yelled in a demanding voice "I'm Mitirashi Anko and I'll be your second test examiner." She then brought the group to the forest of death.
She instructed the class, about the heaven and earth scrolls. While this was going on Konohamaru was oddly silent but distant as well and focused thoroughly on the exam, he then noticed a kunai coming at him, he tilted his head back and the kunai flew right before him.
Anko moved with such speed most of the genins were not able to see, Konohamaru managed to see her, but it was a blur, he decide to do nothing. Anko leaned on Konohamaru pressing her boobs against his back she said loudly enough for every one to hear "You know it's brats like you that die first."
Konohamaru smirked and said "Its women like you that get divorced first." And he pointed to her clothing or lack there off.
Anko eyes narrowed and said gleefully with a smirk "Not bad brat lets see how far you make it in this exam.'
Konohamaru did not reply and just stood their bored, a moment later a rather tall Genin no older than 15 appeared behind Anko holding her kunai.
Konohomaru eyes widened and shot to the new presence and thought I didn't even sense him when did he move, who are you?
Anko held another kunai in her hand and said "You really shouldn't sneak up on me like that, it could end poorly for you."
The Genin held the kunai, with his tongue and replied " I'm ssssorry I waasss jussst returning your kunai."
After giving Anko the kunai he walked away and disappeared into the crowd.
Konohamaru got over his initial shock then spoke up and said excitedly "Can we start the test now?"
Anko smirked and said "Eager are we, I suppose so." She continued to tell the group about the test, after that she distributed the scrolls to each team.
Sai decided to hold the scroll for his team. Anko then yelled "The second test of the chunin exam begins now.'
Everyone dashed into the forest. Sai spoke and said in a commanding tone "It would be wise for us to set up at the tower, those who go to the tower will likely have both scrolls, and would have been tired from battle."
Both his teammates nodded in understanding and increased their speed. Konohamaru and his team then felt a large blast of wind hit them nearly knocking them off their feet, they managed to stick to the ground by using their chakra , but then a huge snake appeared and launched itself towards them. Konohamaru went threw some hand seals and yelled
FIRE STYLE: GRANDBALL JUTSU unleashing a huge ball of fire that incinerated the snake. The group stood their and contemplated what happened. They all thought the same thing Anko and Orochimaru are the only snake summoners, Anko is the proctor she's not allowed to interrupt the test, that only means.
Konohamaru spoke in a worried, nervous and demanding voice "We have to go now." Sai and Sakura both nodded, and they went as fast as they could to the tower, but they where stopped by, a tall figure.
The figure spoke up and said "Itssss verrryyy impppolite not to ssssayyy hello, and you killed my pet no lesssssssss."
The tall figured then unleashed a dose of killing intent that sent fear into Konohamaru and his team crippling them, Konohamaru tried to keep a calm head but he couldn't. He was frantically shaking in fear this was Orochimaru his grandpa's student, the legendary sannin he knew how strong Jiraiya was and Orochimaru was on the same level as him. He had no chance of winning he could only hope to escape with his life and even those odds were extremely thin.
This is Orochimaru, we stand no chance of beating him, why is here, is he planning on destroying Konoha?
Orochimaru then spoke and said "My my I've heard quite a lot about you Konohamaru-kun it seem however you're not quite happy with my appearance, can you guess who I am though?
Konohamaru said through gritted teeth "Your Orochimaru my grandpa's former student.'
Orochimaru chuckled "I'm truly flattered however I'm not Orochimaru but I guess I can't fault you. I do resemble my old man don't you think, let me formerly introduce myself I'm Kobura (cobra) and Orochimaru is my father.'
Team 7 gasped Konohamaru was the first to regain his bearing "Your Orochimaru's son?'
Kobura smirked and said mockingly " I do believe I said that already Konohamaru-kun, I do not like repeating myself, I'm eager to see the skills of the child prodigy, Konohamaru student of the great Jiraiya of the sannin, please try and makes this entertaining for me." and with those words Kobura dashed forward at extreme speed at Konohamaru.
Konohamaru hastily went threw one hand seal and yelled SHADOW CLONE JUTSU one clone shimmered into existence. Konohamaru then went threw some more hand seals, and yelled FIRE STYLE: GREAT FIRE DRAGON sending two huge dragon heads towards Kobura.
Kobura didn't even break a sweat and used his speed and flexibility to avoid the attacks very snakelike and was rapidly gaining speed and narrowing the distance between him and Konohamaru,
He appeared before Konohamaru and delivered a viscous uppercut, his eyes narrowed a bit when Konohamaru dissolved in mud revealing him to be a mud clone, He was forced to flip back away when Sakura flashed through multiple hand seals and yelled EARTH STYLE: MUD BULLET and true to its name multiple mud bullets were launched at Kobura.
Kobura dodged each of the mud shot with great expertise to the point that it looked as if he wasn't trying. Kobura's tongue lashed out at Sakura with frightening speed and wrapped around her throat constricting all of her movement and halting her to a stop, Sai quickly jumped into action Super Beast Imitating Drawing and with a quick flick of his wrist he drew multiple lions on a scroll that came to life and charged at Kobura.
Kobura however didn't even bat an eye and launched Sakura on his tongue at Sai, the lion attempted to block and cushion Sakura but at the speed she was thrown the lion was dispersed and Sakura collided with Sai with great force both were sent barreling into the ground.
Kobura calmly flashed through a couple seals and muttered Binding Snake Glare Spell.
Two large boa constrictors launched out of Kobura sleeves and wrapped around Sakura and Sai immobilizing them completely .
Kobura surveyed the field attempting to find Konohamaru, he didn't' have to wait long when Konohamaru dropped to the ground in the front of Kobura. Kobura merely rose and eyebrow surely the boy wasn't foolish enough to challenge him to a head-on assault or maybe he was Kobura did not know. Konohamaru spoke fluidly even though he was scared beyond his wits "I sent a shadow clone to tell the rest of the Konoha nine that you here, they should be here shortly you've lost Kobura leave.'
Kobura chuckled deviously "My my I never thought you would be so foolish Konohamaru-kun, I guess stupidity is a trait that runs strong in the Sarutobi clan, I mean you grandfather was a very foolish man, he had every opportunity to kill my father but choose against it and he will be the reason for Konoha's destruction."
Konohamaru's eyes narrowed and retorted in anger "You know nothing about my grandfather, you're just the son of a filthy traitor who was upset he wasn't chosen to be Hokage."
Kobura eyes narrowed everyone knew Orochimaru had a sore spot when it came to the Hokage position "Watch your tongue child, you know not what you speak off, I guess it was for the best. I'm glad Father wasn't chosen to be the Hokage of this village only a fool would sacrifice his life to save the village, what a foolish man Minato was. Even with all the talent he possessed ,he was still forced to face death. A trait I however do not share along my father. We have discovered the secret to immortality I learned the secrets of the world that are far beyond your human compression."
Konohamaru for his part was confused to what Kobura was talking about, But to his credit he didn't seem fazed at all and gave nothing away to his opponent he didn't care, all he had to do was stall until Anbu arrived.
"Konohamaru I've grown tired from this conversation what do you say to us having a small spar?" said Kobura with a sinister smirk.
Konohamaru gulped nervously "I take it I can't say no."
Kobura glare gave Konohamaru his answer. Kobura disappeared right before Konohamaru eyes, he then felt excruciating pain his abdomen he crumpled to the ground dropping to one knee holding his bruised stomach. He was sure he bruised multiple ribs with that single blow. Kobura however did not let up and delivered a viscous kick to Konohamaru's face breaking Konohamaru's nose in the process with a resounding crunch. Konohamaru groaned in pain and attempted to get up only to fall to the ground once more this is the power of a prodigy it figures I stood no chance, at least I'll be able rest now and with those thoughts Konohamaru closed his eyes.
Kobura eyes narrowed the boy seemed peaceful even though he knew he was going to die, this will not due thought Kobura "Well if you're done Konohamaru I guess I'll just have to entertain myself by finishing off your lovely teammates."
Konohamaru's eyes snapped open and could only watch in horror as Kobura deliberately walked slowly to his downed teammates, Konohamaru frantically tried to move move move Konohamaru repeatedly yelled in his mind trying to force, will his body to move but to no avail. Kobura finally got to his destination and stood over Sai and with one fell swoop of the legendary Kusangi
Sai was beheaded and blood erupted from his neck like a fountain freely flowing, coating the grass in a deep red fountain of blood, Konohamaru finally found his voice and yelled in anger rage and despair "Nooooooooooooooooo please stop please stop this, it's me you want."
Kobura smiled cruelly at Konohamaru and said maliciously "Wrong you are of no interest to me anymore, you don't have the strength to save your comrades, if you want to blame someone blame yourself blame your weakness loathe detest your weakness."
Konohamaru sat their silent and could only think back to Kobura's last words blame my weakness its my fault if I wasn't weak I would be able to stop him and protect them if I wasn't weak Sai wouldn't be dead!
Konohamaru was quickly brought of his musing when Kobura continued his pace to his next target. Konohamaru eyes snapped back to Kobura and saw that he was going to finish off Sakura next he had to do something anything.
Konohamaru struggled to his feet and attempted run he managed to wobble faster but he knew deep down he wasn't going to make it please someone anyone help.
Konohamaru could only look on desperately in despair when Kobura begun to swing his katana at Sakura's exposed neck.
Konohamaru eyes widen tears were freely flowing from his face everything was happening in slow motion he looked on with fearful eyes. Kobura was a mere inch away from slitting Sakura's throat when he stopped and turned his head to look at Konohamaru cruelly and mouthed a couple of words to Konohamaru,
Konohamaru managed to decipher the words blame your weakness was what Kobura said and with that he disappeared leaving Sakura untouched and maybe Kobura did it out of the goodness of his heart one would think, but Konohamaru knew that Kobura did it to send a message. The message was I could have killed her and you would have been powerless to stop me resent your weakness I killed your other teammates and spared the other I was able to choose because I was strong, the strong are the only one who decide the fate of others.
A second later multiple Anbu's appeared and were welcomed to the sight of a headless Sai and an unconscious Sakura and a broken Konohamaru.
The Anbu sighed and said sadly "It seems were too late."
The others nodded grimly "Go retrieve both of them and take them to the hospital, they won't be competing in the exam anymore." Said one Anbu, the others nodded and proceeded to pick up Konohamaru and Sakura, however Konohamaru found his voice "I've gotta tell the Emperor, take me to the tower I've got to tell him everything Kobura said."
The Anbu nodded and proceeded to take him to the Emperor's tower (Hokage tower).
(Emperor Tower)
"Emperor Kobura is-" Konohamaru words died in his throat standing before him was Orochimaru who seemed to be having a chat with the Emperor one that wasn't going to well if Jiraiya and Tsunade facial expression were anything to go by.
"Kobura is what?" questioned Orochimaru to Konohamaru.
Konohamaru for his part was scared, confused and shocked beyond all belief but he was overcome by an immense sense of rage "Your son killed my friend you bastard, you have the nerve to come and waltz in here like you own the place die traitor." Roared Konohamaru and he launched at Orochimaru with great speed with his kunai drawn,
Naruto looked on calmly and impassively with a snap of his finger multiple root agents appeared surrounding Konohamaru preventing any sudden movements he might make.
Konohamaru eyes widen and looked at Naruto in shock and sheer disbelief "What are you doing Orochimaru is a traitor his son killed Sai he has to die."
Naruto looked at Konohamaru and said with disdain clear in his voice at Konohamaru's disobedience "Orochimaru's son is competing in the chunin exam, killing is allowed, maybe next time you should pay attention to the rules child." Stated Naruto.
Konohamaru looked at Orochimaru what's going on thought Konohamaru in shock. Orochimaru discretely winked at Konohamaru as if he was attempting to mock him, this made Konohamaru's blood boil and immediately he found new vigor and struggled harder under his restraints desperately trying to free himself and attack Orochimaru.
Naruto sighed and said "Jiraiya remove your student from my presence." Jiraiya gritted his teeth in anger "What are you doing Naruto this is Orochimaru were talking he's a traitor he deserves death."
Tsunade nodded her head vigorously "I say we kill this snake bastard."
Multiple captains nodded in agreement while other remained impassive to the matter all together. Naruto eyes narrowed and he leveled a death glare and spoke in a deadly tone that vibrated through out the room "Are you questioning my orders Jiraiya?"
Jiraiya for his part was scared shitless this was the first time he saw Naruto act or even speak like that to him it was truly frightening "Forgive me my lord I spoke out of term." Said Jiraiya
Naruto did not ease up and kept his gaze on Jiraiya "See that it doesn't happen again, take your student and leave."
Jiraiya nodded and with a quick Shunshin he was gone with Konohamaru.
"I must say you handled my old teammate rather well Emperor-Sama' said Orochimaru amusedly.
Naruto eyes showed no emotion to Orochimaru and it was as if Orochimaru was an insignificant spec to Naruto and Orochimaru was able to detect that who the fuck does this brat think he is. Just because he wields the Rinnegan he believes hes superior to me Orochimaru the nerve of this child.
"I must say your attendance here is quite surprising." Spoke Naruto finally.
Orochimaru smiled and said "I thought it was time the prodigal child returned."
Naruto openly chuckled at Orochimaru which resulted in Orochimaru releasing a bit of his killing intent unconsciously. Naruto appeared to not have notice and said amusedly "I must say Konoha portrays you wrong you clearly do have a sense of humor 'prodigal child"."
Orochimaru eyes narrowed this boy dare insult him, did he not know who he was, but this wasn't the time for that. If he made any move he would surely die with all the Kage level Shinobi that were in current attendance, to be able to control these Shinobi spoke volume of the boy skills in its own right he would have to bide his time.
Naruto's gaze was no longer fixated on Orochimaru and he turned his head and gazed out of the window and sighed in boredom "Itachi take Orochimaru to his hotel, I'm sure the Otokage would like a view of his former home."
Itachi nodded and proceeded to leave with Orochimaru, Orochimaru new what was going Itachi was there to make sure Orochimaru made no sudden movements or attempts and to keep him in check.
(Back in the chamber room)
"Emperor-sama the second faze of the chunin exam has concluded." Announced once of the captains.
Naruto nodded his head and slowly got to his feet and disappeared with his captain following after him "Let the game begins." Spoke Orochimaru sinisterly in his hotel
