KONOHA'S MAELSTROM
Chapter 6: Everything is not as it seems
(At the Chunin Exam)
Konohamaru and his team which now consisted of solely Sakura changed quite a bit. Konohamaru's appearance was a stark contrast to his former self, his hair grew noticeably longer and was shaggier than ever and fully covered his forehead. He wore a white t-shirt with the Sarutobi emblem in red on his back, and a navy blue scarf wrapped around his neck.
He also sported black Shinobi pants that were tapped white at the bottom and black sandals. Sarutobi grew quite a bit in stature as well and stood at about 5' 4" which was abnormally tall considering his age. Sakura looked relatively similar to her old self, however her demeanor was the greatest contrast in her personality. No longer the cheerful exuberant bubbly person she once was, she radiated a rather glumly atmosphere one that spoke of a dreadful experience.
(Up in the balcony)
The balcony was assembled with the majority of the captains along with the three Kages.
Tsunade, Jiraya, Kakashi, Might Guy, Mangetsu, Danzo and Kurenai stood behind Naruo.
Large amounts of ki radiated off of Tsunade and Jiraya specifically with good reason.
It seems they had a hard time accepting the Emperors decision and kept shooting him glances as if to inform him of there displeasure with the situation . At any moment they seemed as if they where to dispose of Orochimaru on the spot regardless of his decision.
Orochimaru for his part handled the ki well and shook it off with ease, in an attempt to break the awkward silence he grounded out.
"I can't seem to find Sarutobi-sensei "
he sighed dramatically but trudged on hand on his chest in a passionate manner
"Sarutobi sensei was much like a father to me, part of the reason I came was to rekindle are relationship and go on about the will of fire and how I've finally seen the light and errors of my ways, do you by any chance know where he is.?" mused Orochimaru sardonically.
Jiriaya unable to restrain himself anymore stated angrily "You lying snake Orochimaru, sensei saw us all as his children you saw him as nothing more than a stepping stone. Even after all this time sensei couldn't bare to raise a hand against you and after all that you threw it all away and spit in his face ! He believed in you, but now you stroll to konoha and proclaim yourself the prodigal child and return as if nothing ever happened you have the nerve, the audacity, the temerity, the unmitigated gall to show your face in Konoha after everything you have done!? Roared Jiraiya
Jiraiya continued this time in a deadly silence he was on a roll
"Mark my words regardless of what Emperor-sama says you will not leave here ali-"
"Jiraya have you so little respect for me you would openly utter such treacherous words?."
Naruto voiced but his eyes remained trained on the arena. However Jiraya knew good and well he was listening intently for his reply.
Gritting his teeth
"My apologies Emperor-sama I only mean to say I believe this to be an unwise decision." Stated Jiraya stressing the words on unwise.
There was a chorus of nods from the Captains signaling there agreement.
Which Naruto casually dismissed
"When I need your opinion I shall ask for it,to answer your question Orochimaru, Sarutobi is running a few errands on my behalf I apologize for any inconveniences it may have caused you."
Orochimaru nodded his head in understanding and spoke in his silky fluid voice " I sssssee...no matter then ,may I ask as to the whereabouts of one Itachi uchiha we've gotten along sooooooo sssssplendidly yesterday I dare I say I miss his presence ." Finished Orochinaru with a narrowing of his eyes.
Naruto glanced shortly at Orochimaru holding his gaze temporarily before breaking his gaze returning his focus back onto the arena " He is also occupied as of the moment "and as an after thought"he added he is accompanying Sarutobi on his errand run." retorted Naruto with the greatest of ease.
Orochimaru eyes narrowed but he said nothing in response he remained stoic as ever as he quietly absorbed and dissected the new information afforded to him in an attempt to make sense of it for what reason would he send away sensei? Does he not believe sensei capable of defeating me ? Orochimaru pondered possibly,but why send away Itachi away... Had Itachi managed to locate Sasuke? ... Noooo that is impossible it's too early they wouldn't have had enough time to ascertain the location of my base and even if they had I would have been alerted of their prese-
"Is everything alright Orochimaru you seem distressed." Naruto quietly asked breaking Orochimaru out of his internal monologue.
Orochimaru quickly recovered and gave a fake smile " I couldn't be any better."
Naruto gazed lingered on Orochimaru both eyes locking on one another until Naruto finally responded "Good to hear."
Naruto calmly rose from his seated position, he adorned his normal attire consisting of his signature golden cloak signifying him to be the leader of the 12 captains and his black kimono underneath it. His long golden hair swayed with the breeze his azure blues was deep and endless as ever.
He stepped to the front of the balcony making himself visible to all his loyal subjects, the arena quickly became deathly silent "My people I have come to inform you the return of one of our very own Konoha ninja one of the legendary sannin. Orochimaru."
The reactions where instantaneous and varied most of the civilian looked rather confused not full grasping the gravity of situation enough to form an opinion. However the rest of the Shinobi had showed a look of utter disgust on there face and some disbelief eventually it turned into anger and outrage which eventually erupted into a chorus of yells all wishing and demanding Orochimaru's death. Although some waited anxiously perhaps expecting another Itachi like revelation .
The booming chant
DEATH For OROCHIMARU reverberated throughout the entire stadium clearly stating the intent of the Konoha populace.
Orochimaru however didn't seem to be at all bothered or fazed by the entire ordeal.
Naruto calmly waved his hand in a calming gesture ordering his Shinobi and civilian to silence themselves, the shinobi and civilian followed and heeded Naruto's order albeit slowly, the hatred on their face never left leaving a permanently scowl etched on the many faces of shinobi and citizens alike.
"Konoha as the strongest of the former five great villages. We welcome with open hands Otokagure into the alliance Konoha has established with Suna.'
The Kazekage nodded his head in agreement and Orochimaru nodded as well with amused interest.
Naruto continued and commmenced the start of the chunin exam round one "Konohamaru Sarutobi vs. Neji Hyuuga."
The crowd as if forgetting about Orochimaru temporarily yelled in excitement Konohamaru the kid prodigy grandson of the third the professor and Kami Shinobi versus Neji the Hyuuga prodigy.
Konohamaru disappeared from view and appeared in the arena in a burst of intense scorching hot whitish flames that incinerated the ground beneath him in a display of power and proficiency in his fire affinity. Neji performed and executed a simple leaf Shunshin and appeared in the arena.
The proctor eyed both contestants carefully and with a swift wave of his hand the battle had begun, to the crowd it looked like both boys were just standing their emotionless, doing absolutely nothing except for the casual intake of air but to the well trained eye they were battling for dominance seeing whose will was stronger. After a moment Neji activated the Byakugan and spoke up in a calm calculated tone.
"Sarutobi-San it would be an honor to fight you I looked forward to having a great match."
"Likewise ."
Konohamru retorted his focus on one person and one person alone.
(Flashback Training with Jiraya and Konohamaru)
Jiraiya was sitting in a meditative crossed legged stance on a large boulder with Konohamru standing before him.
He spoke "Konohamru you will be participating in the chunnin exam, I pulled some strings and the Emperor agreed it will be in Konoha's best interest to display your skill."
Konohamru slowly nodded his head in understanding.
Jiraiya hopped of his boulder landing in a crouch position and slowly stood to his full height his face morphed into a scowl.
"Konohamaru I'm tasking you with a secret mission, should you face off against Kobura Kill him."
Konohamru looked up to Jiraya in surprise, until his mind drifted back till that faithful day. Sai's head being lopped off continued to replay itself in Konohamru's mind as if he was in some type of time loop, he closed his eyes and forced the visions away .
Konohamru grinned at Jiraya cruelly "It will be done."
Jiraya nodded his head in acceptance " Good... here's a technique that'll be of use to you."
(End flashback back to the fight)
Konohamaru retrieved a kunai from his pouch and assessed Neji and his Byakugan taking in every detail to his posture the slight twitch of his hand as he settled into his clan stance.
Konohamru made the first move disappearing from everyone's view accept the jounins, Neji eyes briefly widen in surprise as he felt an excruciating pain exploded from the bottom of his chin he was lifted off his feet by a snap kick from Konohamaru, Konohamaru followed it up with a spin kick to Neji's gut sending him sailing only to be stopped by crashing into the wall creating a sizable creator.
Everyone assumed the battle to be over, categorically it should have been however Neji started chuckling, blood was seeping through out his mouth but he still had a crazed grin upon his feature until it cooled into a frozen glare he spoke calmly not hinting at all to the amount of damaged he had just received "This will be a very interesting battle indeed."
After a bit of struggle Neji busted out of the crater, and roared "First gate open" Konohamaru's and every ninja's eyes widen, he can open the gates !Konohamaru brooded
Kakashi said to Gai in a dangerous tone "You taught your students how to open the gates?"
Gai struck a nice guy pose and said with an undertone of seriousness "Neji is up to the second gate his flames of youth burn brighter then ever, he should not be taken lightly. I know what is best for my students." He finished in an serious tone that didn't look right on his normal jovial features.
Everyone visibly paled, meanwhile Konohamaru was waiting in anticipation and hopped up and down beginning to bounce on the balls of his feet in order to make any quick and decisive moves to evade the onslaught that Neji would undoubtedly unleash, to Konohamaru's surprise Neji remained rooted in one area and started to roar his power continued to increase until it engulfed his whole body.
Neji then roared once more "Gate Two open." The air around Neji began to distort, his chakra could visibly be seen by the naked eye it surrounded his body. Everyone watched in amazement at the Hyuuga prodigy power began surging exponentially.
Konohamaru heart plummeted to his stomach he hastily went threw his seals as beads of sweat slowly trickled down the side of his face and yelled FIRE STYLE: GREAT FIREBALL JUTSU sending a massive torrent of flames towards Neji.
Neji reacted by quickly spinning and sending a steady output of chakra from each of his pours creating what appeared to be a dome of some sort and yelled ROTATION. The Hyuuga clan had a look of astonishment and pride that a Hyuuga at such a young age could master such an advanced technique it was an impressive feat no doubt. The fireball upon meeting contact with the dome dissipated.
Neji then shifted his body into a peculiar stance with his back arm cocked up and his frontal arm lowered, he had crouched down like a Bengal tiger ready to attack his prey and waited for Konohamaru to make his move.
Konohamaru responded with a quick one hand seal and muttered SHADOW CLONE JUTSU, three shadow clones puffed into existence all the clones without hesitation charged at Neji with blinding speed. The first clone aimed a spin kick to Neji's head, but Neji reacted with great expertise and caught the clones leg and the launched the clone into another clone dispelling them both.
The last clone attempted to attack Neji but was dispelled by a vicious punch to the gut by Neji who all the while maintained eye contact with the original Konohamaru, his eyes never wavering .
Konohamaru winced slightly at the memory feedback he had received form his clones. Konohamaru quickly regained his composure and began to analyze Neji's skill set He's proficient at hand to hand combat as long as I keep my distance, I should be able to pull out this match.
Konohamaru then went threw another string of hand signs at a rapid pace and yelled
FIRE STYLE: GREAT FIRE DRAGON TECHNIQUE sending five massive dragon heads barreling into Neji,
Neji smirked and flashed through multiple seals himself and uttered WATER STYLE: MULTIPLE GUN SHOT BULLETS
Neji spat cannon ball size water bullets continuously at the oncoming fire dragons head until they subsided and faded from existence.
Neji looked up only to see Konohamaru had vanished from his previous position frantically he attempted to locate him but could not do so. Neji slowly calmed his breathing and waited patiently for Konohamaru to make his move he did not have to wait long two hands suddenly clasped against his ankles dragging him to the ground, submerging under ground in the process.
Konohamaru suddenly jumped out the ground and stood in front of Neji. He wore his usual confident grin only for his eyes to turn into utter shock when Neji dissolved into a puddle of water.
Konohamaru turned around quickly and hastily searching for Neji and was met with two palm to his stomach. Neji calmly muttered
WIND STYLE : TWIN HURRICANE to giant twister of wind erupted from Neji's palm and they grinded into Konohamaru's abdomen until he was lifted off his feet and propelled into the arena wall were he slowly descended from the wall and crumpled to the ground.
Neji calmly turned his head to the proctor in which he nodded and stated in a professional tone "Shousha Neji Hyuuga."
The crowd erupted in a cacophony of applause up in the balcony Orochimaru spoke in his snakelike mannerism and said in his silky tone "I'm impressssssssed by this new generation of genins, to able to have and effectively use two type of affinities is an incredible feat on its own, they both posses the ability and intellect to become chunin."
The Kazekage nodded his head in agreement Jiraiya disappeared from the balcony and gather his student. Naruto rested his head upon his fist in his signature pose and bit out with distaste "Konohamaru will not become a chunin, he lost failure is not to be rewarded, should this have been a real battle he would have been killed that is the fate of the weak."
Orochimaru and the Kazekage rose an eyebrow at the harsh words of the Emperor but spoke no further words on said matter.
Gaara vs. lee, Gaara wins
Shikamaru Nara vs. Kin tsuchi, Shikamaru wins
Zaku Abumi vs. Shino Aburame Shino wins
Misumi tsurugi vs. Kankuro Kankuro wins
Akado Yoroi vs. Kabuto both forfeit (how? We don't know)
Temari vs. Ten ten Temari wins
Hinata Hyuuga vs. Choiji Akimichi Hinata wins
Kiba Inuzuka VS Kobura,
The crowd erupted in anticipation this was going to be an exciting battle to watch .
Both boys proceeded to the arena kobura disappeared in a flame Shunshin and slowly his figured formed in a formation of snakes while Kiba walked. Genma started the battle. Kiba grinned in excitement.
Kiba then said in his cocky tone laced with bravado
"I've trained extremely hard with Captain Kurenai-sensei theirs no possible way some loser son of a traitor can beat me, we got an easy win against the snake freak."
The crowd roared in agreement eager to see the Inuzuka clan heir put what most likely was the bastard of the snake traitor in his place.
Kobura looked up at his father as if searching for an answer and receiving none and then at Kiba and sighed boredly. Kobura calmly gazed at Kiba who was beginning to get unnerved at the intense stare. Kobura slowly closed his eyes
Seconds went by 5, 10, 15 30
The wind shifting his hair and rustling the leaves around him slowly he opened them to reveal the Sharingan fully matured no less,
GASP...
The Shinobi looked downright shocked, galvanized and were in outrage at the shocking turn of events.
"How the hell does some bastard have the bloody sharingan?" roared a Konoha nin.
The crowd voiced there agreement and displeasure at the turn of events, shouting jeers and other obscenities at Kobura.
Naruto up in the balcony was no less surprised, his eyes narrowed ever so slightly at the sudden turn of events. This was not at all foreseen, his gaze demanded an explanation.
"I must say Orochimaru I'm rather surprised at the sudden occurrence of the Sharingan in your son. I was unaware that you were of the Uchiha descent."
Orochimaru did not let the subtle insult deter him in the slightest "Not at all Emperor-sama his mother was merely a descendant of the Uchiha clan."
Retorted Orochimaru easily as if those very lines where rehearsed. Which in all likelihood could very well have been the case.
Naruto eyes shifted briefly on Orochimaru and he spoke with finality that demanded answers the consequence would not be pleasant nor would anything less than the truth be tolerated.
"I see... what exactly was the name of this mysterious Uchiha?" questioned Naruto.
Orochimaru retorted easily and said without skipping a beat "Forgive my rudeness Emperor-sama, but my beloved passed away and I rather not bring up such old painful memories."
Naruto smirked and conceited the small tactical defeat "Forgive me Orochimaru for bringing up such painful memories, let us return our attention on the exams."
Orochimaru nodded and both resumed there focus and attention toward what would surely be an interesting match.
After genma commenced the match.
Kobura without delay quickly threw a kunai at untraceable speed far superior to the average skill of a chunnin let alone a genin at Kiba's head; Kiba barely dodged thanks to his advance hearing but was still gifted with a small cut that appeared upon his forehead. Kiba shaken up slowly gathered himself to his feet and slowly turned his head to Kobura who remained rooted in his spot.
Kiba looked on in utter fear and despair in the span of what appeared to be at best ten seconds Kiba realized he was utterly outclassed and held no hope of winning, sanguinely and shakily he retrieved a kunai from his pouch and steeled his resolve for the fight. He was no coward he was a shinobi of Konoha and would die if need be it , he was broken out his musing when Kobura spoke with such finality as if his words where the resounding truth of a deity "Quit now, and I won't have to kill you."
Kiba looked as if he was ready to accept and take him up on his offer but a bark from Akimaru gave him the courage he needed, gathering his courage steeling his resolve he stood up defiantly at Kobura making his final stand and yelled "Fuck you snake freak il-" he was unable to say a single word more he looked down in shock to see Kobura's fist lodged in his stomach when did he move?
He looked up to Kobura's face and saw his Sharingan spinning ominously wildly , he was unable to produced any words. Kiba slowly stepped back and clutched his stomach he slowly dropped to his knees and threw up a glob of blood coating the floor of the arena in a sanguine red and a began dry heaving, convulsing, continuously for a few seconds until he could regulate his breathing.
Akimaru ran to his master's aid and began licking his hand in an attempt to console and heal him.
Kiba looked up in utter despair this was the end he knew it.
He braced himself for what was sure to be a killing blow.
However it never came
Kobura began to slowly and methodically make his way to the stands "Where are you going?" Croaked Kiba in frustration at his own weakness.
Kobura stopped briefly and looked at Kiba with an apathetic gaze and grinned "I give up, this tournament no longer interest me... congratulations on your win."
Kiba eyes widen to the size of saucers "What the fuck are you talking about?" Yelled Kiba.
Kobura however did not deem him with a response and disappeared with the wind.
Everyone in the stadium sat in utter silence and disbelief not exactly sure how to respond.
Genma calmly walked up to Kiba inspecting if he was alright and stated unsure "Winner by forfeit Kiba Inuzuka."
Orochimaru in his seat on the balcony openly chuckled at his son peculiar display "You'll have to forgive me Emperor-sama my son has become quite the rebel in these past few years you know how teenagers are."
Naruto nodded and then retorted in an even tone " All is forgiven, I'm impressed by your sons aptitude in the shinobi arts, attaining skills above most Jonin at such a young age few can say they have earned so much in so little time."
Orochimaru did not immediately respond to the compliment at first and instead he analyzed the Emperors words. It seemed like he was able to produce an accurate assessment of his son's strength with his son revealing so little of his ability "Indeed my son is a chip of the old block, as the people say."
"...Indeed." Naruto begrudged.
He will be problematic in the near future
(Back In the arena)
Genma announced "Round two of the chunin exam will now begin between Neji Hyuuga vs. Gaara of the sand."
"Lets fucking go I have five on the Hyuuga." Eagerly stated a citizen,
"No way are you fucking blind did you see what that sand kid did to that rock lee kid no way he loses."
Answered just as eagerly another citizen who was possibly intoxicated if the smell and stench of booze was anything to go by.
" Hey i'll take a piece of that action"
Another voiced
Needless to say the audience where pumped up for the match.
The Hyuuga heir put on an exciting show against the grandson of the third and Gaara completely decimated rock lee.
The crowd roared in anticipation and many began shouting and waving there money frantically eagerly awaiting for the match to begin. Neji looked calmed and emotionless to everyone he remained stoic and reserved in his posture. Neji began walking to the stand when suddenly he felt a huge hand on his back, he looked back and saw Hiashi with a very serious and expression upon his face, over the past few months he smiled more frequently due to absence of the elder and the pressure of in fighting of the clan.
Hiashi spoke " Neji be careful this boy is unlike any opponent you have ever faced till now, he wields the power of a biju, If it comes down to it quit the match the Emperor has already declared you worthy of the mantle chunin, think ahead as the heir of the clan."
Neji nodded with a low bow of submission "Arigato Hiashi-sama, I shall bring honor to the Hyuuga clan."
I don't doubt it
With those words Neji disappeared from Hiashi only to appear in a gust of wind that left small wisp of leaves floating around him. Gaara performed his sand Shunshin and stood their shaking in excitement. Genma looked wearily at the Gaara, he could feel the blood lust radiating off of the boy, practically rolling off of him in waves he sure as hell wanted no part of him. He glanced at the the Hyuuga and was surprised to see the Hyuuga showing nothing but focus and determination in this battle .
And with a sigh he said "Begin."
Immediately a wave of sand was dispersed towards Neji, Neji in response looked completely unfazed and merely activated his Byakugan.
Neji weaved to the left and dashed towards Gaara with incredible speeds. He pulled out one kunai and threw it towards Gaara, Gaara's sand quickly reacted, creating a wall of sand., what happened next shocked Gaara,
Gaara sand was pierced by some invisible blade even more so, he looked at his cheek and saw a shallow cut appearing upon his face, His eyes widen he felt his cheek only to find some strange liquid was trickling from said cheek.
Gaara yelled in his mind what is this... sweat?, could this be my blood, this fool must die!
Gaara looked at Neji with absolute hatred; he spoke in deadly sharp voice
"Hyuuga you will pay greatly for what you have done, Mother feast on your blood."
A massive wave of sand was sent towards Neji, Neji responded immediately and hastily proceeded to race threw some hand seals at a alarming rate and yelled
WIND STYLE: GREAT BREAKTHROUGH the huge compressed ball of air collided with the wave of sand, to Neji's surprise the wave of sand pushed threw the ball of air with relative ease and continued on its descent towards Neji, to the immense surprise of everyone Neji vaulted on top of the sand and began charging towards Gaara.
Gaara controlled the sand and launched various attacks towards Neji however he smoothly evaded the sands attacks acrobatically as if he were in a parkour event and continued charging towards Gaara with what appeared to be a swirling blue ball of water in his hand.
Gaara in his defense brought an outrageous amount pile of sand up a sent it crashing down towards Neji, Neji continued charging the sand headfirst,
The crowd waited in anticipation on the edge of their seats. the wave of sand was getting closer and closer and closer to Neji. Should it hit, it would without a doubt result in his demise, by the second Neji was getting closer and was making ground on Gaara with his attack poised and ready.
At the very last second he ducked under the wave of sand and leaped with his hand outstretched WATER STYLE: WATER VORTEX plunging the compressed ball of water into Gaara's torso blasting Gaara back into the wall he slammed into wall with a sickening thud creating a massive crater upon impact.
Gaara displayed a huge gash on his stomach blood was pouring profusely out of his body and he began muttering incoherent unintelligible things.
Temari asked in a concerned and anger the million dollar question.
"What the hell is going on!? Why didn't Gaara's sand protect him, why was that boy able to walk on Gaara's sand so easily? Why is Gaara losing!?"
Baki answered in a worried tone "That boy is truly a genius, look at him he's calm and reserved even when facing Gaara of all people, the boy skilled fully glided on Gaara's sand using his wind chakra. He even managed to use his wind chakra to distort Gaara's sand at the last moment to land his strange attack."
What the hell are these Konoha ninjas feeding these kids nowadays
Temari yelled " That's impossible to use wind chakra to such a degree would take years of mastering for even an advance Jonin and your saying this boy no older than 14 can do it with such ease?
Temari didn't want to admit, but it overwhelmed her to see Neji using his wind element to such a degree. It frightened her more to think of what a clan full of ninjas with his capability could do.
Gaara had a smile of absolute glee on his face unperturbed by the small hiccup which would have been certain death for anyone not a Jinchuriki and then his face turned murderous he said solemnly
"Mother wants to come out you will die now; she will bath in your delicious blood this is it ! This battle has becoming most exciting oh mother will enjoy your blood. "
The sand rose around Gaara and encased him in a dome of sand. Neji pulled out a couple kunai and threw it and thrusted his hand out and calmly intoned
WIND STYLE: GALE FORCE the kunais velocity increased greatly and slammed violently into the dome but only managed to penetrate roughly an inch deep into the dome before bouncing harmlessly off.
Neji white eyes narrowed his breathing was greatly haggard from using so much chakra he steadily went threw some more hand seals and yelled
WIND STYLE: PRESSURE DAMAGE, sending a huge blast of condensed air toward the dome sand, the dome shattered.
Revealing what should have been Gaara but what was left in his place will haunt Neji for the rest of his life.
Gaara took upon the form of the mini Shukaku, Gaara began laughing manically and sneered
"What's wrong Hyuuga not so confident anymore, I can feel the fear radiating off of you, you are not worthy of existence my will to live is stronger than yours!"
Orochimaru had a wicked smile of utter glee "It's about time."
He waved his hand discretely signaling the order.
Gaara flashed through multiple seals and intoned Forced sleep Jutsu
Gaara immediately fell asleep there was massive surge of power exuding from Gaara, he was then lifted off his feet sand began to pour out of all his pores he began to yell in pain and rage and suddenly it all stopped and a massive explosion rocked the stadium plums of smoke blanketed the entire arena, until it dissolved standing in all his glory was the one tail Biju Shukaku.
The shukaku was free
Naruto up in the balcony while all this was going on still looked relatively unfazed "I'm disappointed Orochimaru was this how you were intending to destroy Konoha?"
Orochimaru eyes had a certain gleam in them "Silence fool even you don't have the power to fight a biju alone and if you summon the Kyuubi here you'll forfeit the lives of all the people here face it you lost.' Followed by his sinister kukkuu laugh.
Naruto sighed "Betrayal you see coming is trivial betrayal you don't see is the fearsome one, Konoha has setup it defenses for your betrayal your army and the Kazekage army have both been decimated, and by now I'm sure you can feel the drain on your chakra.'
Orochimaru eyes narrowed and slowing his face twisted from anger to shock and to a look of understanding "You've been draining my chakra how?"
Naruto smirked seeing no harm in enlightening Orochimaru " You have your old teammate to thank for that, he is extremely gifted in the art of fuinjutsu he created a massive absorption seal and incorporated it into Konoha's security system. Everyone who is not registered as a citizen of Konoha will slowly have their chakra drained and depleted, they are essentially powering there own demise the seal uses the siphoned chakra to power itself.'
Orochimaru eyes widen in shock he swiftly stood poised ready to strike Naruto only to stop when he felt the cold steel edge he knew all to well placed at his neck more precisely his jugular.
Danzo stood behind Orochimaru with his lone Sharingan gazing at him intently, the Kazekage was unable to make any moves either because of the timely interruption by Mangetsu who encased the Kazekage in a dome of water.
Orochimaru retracted his gaze from Danzo and narrowed his eyes at Naruto "I see you know about his Sharingan, its not that far of stretch for me assume he told you everything about me." Orochimaru paused briefly attempting to gauge Naruto's reaction.
Naruto smoke smoothly "Indeed Orochimaru I know all about your interest in the 1st Hokage's cells."
Orochimaru showed no reaction except for the tightening off his jaw "I see then may I ask then what was the point of this then allowing us to come into your village surely it couldn't be for the sake of killing me alone."
Naruto smiled "Allow me to tell you this then, I fear not the lions led by sheep I fear the sheep led by the lion."
A look of confusion dawned Orochimaru pale visage until he smiled as well "You wanted us out of our village so you could attack?"
With the bulk of our army here Orochimaru briefly glanced at the Kazekage
Our respective hidden village's are left unguarded.
"Indeed as we speak the sand village is being invaded, however I must commend you Orochimaru even Jiraiya spy network are unaware as to the where about nor the location of your village."
In Suna
Standing at the apex of a rather large mountain was Itachi, flanking his side where Sarutobi and Mei behind existed no less than 5000 shinobi.
Itachi from his part looked on solemnly at his peers he nodded to both his respective captains and looked to large gathering of shinobi behind him, he held one hand high and his sharingan flared to life " To day Konoha conquers Suna in the name of Emperor-sama destroy any Suna nin that gets in your way, show no mercy by night fall Suna will be ours !" And with the descent of his arm the massive pile of shinboi descended on Suna for what was to be a bloody massacre.
RROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAr,
Naruto discussion was interrupted by Shukaku's booming voice that reached throughout the whole entire arena "I'm finally free, yeah its time to cause destruction and mayhem."
Naruto sighed tiredly it would seem his work was never done, he slowly descended from his throne were he hopped over the balcony and fell. To everyone it looked as if an angel no a god was descending from the heavens to the ground. Naruto fell in a slow motion to ground through the usage of shinra tensei and landed without so much as a thud.
Naruto waved his hand and multiple root members jumped to the corner of the arena and simultaneously flashed through multiple seals
Ninja Art: Four Flames Formation
They all said in perfect harmony.
A massive purple cube barrier surrounded the arena encasing Naruto Shukaku and Neji in the violet barrier.
Shukaku stopped his rambling when he noticed the massive dome that encased him, he looked down and saw two small figures "Human what have you done?" Questioned the Biju.
Naruto did not respond but merely approached Neji "You've done well, take cover and remain out of the battle." Neji nodded and quickly retreated to the furthest corner to gain cover.
Shukaku roared in anger he was not one to be ignored especially to a lowly human and he unleashed a massive compress ball of air the size of a building straight at Naruto at insane speeds. Naruto with his back turned calmly raised his hand and the ball of air immediately dispersed.
"My my Shukaku I had expected more of Kurama's little brother."
Shukaku ceased all his movements and glared at Naruto his eyes cold "How do you know that name who are you?"
Naruto smirked happy he finally attained Shukaku's attention "It would seem I hit a nerve, as to how I know kurama's name it is fairly simple I was his former container I released him he is now free we now are partners that is all."
Shukaku looked on in disbelief he wouldn't have even believed the boy if he did not know Kurama's name however this was preposterous, absurd for Kurama of all to side with a human!? This would require further investigation out of all the Bijuus, Kurama kept his name sacred there was a paucity of beings who knew kurama's name only one being human.
"I see... human I must say that was unexpected for you to have ascertain the name of my brother, however what could you possibly hope to gain exactly by fighting me.'
Naruto said impassively "It's up to you, if you fight me it'll only end poorly for you."
Shukaku was deathly silent and out of nowhere he erupted into a fit of laughter and began to roll on his back from the laughter he pounded the ground in mirth the earth giving way and cracking under the pressure of the mighty Biju, eventually he stopped and rolled to his stomach and looked at Naruto eye to eye there face only a couple mere meters apart.
"What makes you think you have a chance of beating me human, Is it because you have Kurama on your side.?"
Naruto calmly intoned his Rinnegan and it appeared in all its glory once more sparkling with their golden hue, Shukaku eyes widen in shock " I see you have the eyes of father... your are an interesting human." he said begrudgingly. I take it you wish to wield my power as well as Kurama's.'
Naruto gave a ghostly small smile "I can offer you freedom in return for your servitude."
Shukaku eyes showed confusion and anger "You contradict yourself ningen how can you have freedom and servitude at the same time."
Naruto waved his hand dismissively "I can free you from your container in return you'll become my summon that is all, you'll be free to unleash your powers on my enemies.'
Shukaku smiled deviously "I see and what if I say no?"
Naruto smile slowly morphed into a cruel frown, an insane amount of blood lust began to pour off Naruto.
An ungodly amount of chakra was released he slowly began to levitate into the air his body began to cackle with lightning with surges that erratically shot through the arena blasting multiple debris into the dome eradicating them upon contact.
The air began to circulate at much greater speed causing hurricanes, twisters, tornadoes that shredded the earth beneath its might. Multiple geysers began to sprout from beneath the ground quickly flooding the arena. Naruto's gold eyes shone brighter than ever sparks of electricity began to emanate from them. his hair began to rise from the influx of his power and sheer magnitude of his chakra.
Shukaku himself was submerged in the water that began to freeze on its on accord he was being repeatedly slammed into the dome due the force of the strong winds. Naruto slowly walked towards Shukaku it looked unreal the way he was walking on the air, he finally reached Shukaku and spoke in a deadly silent tone one that spoke of imminent death "You will die, I will permanently erase you from the plane of the living.'
Now killing a Biju was impossible (or was it?) but the way he said it made him rethink his earlier assertion.
Shukaku was a very prideful Biju but even he knew when to cut his loses "Very well honor you bargain human and you have my aid in battle."
Naruto smiled cunningly 'I'm glad you came to see it my way.'
Naruto slowly lowered his power level and hopped onto Shukaku's head and placed his hand on Gaara's head he intoned
Absorption Soul Technique, Naruto slowly began pulling out Shukaku's gargantuan soul that was compressed in Gaara's tiny frame and managing to release it. Shukaku slowly formed from his sand into his massive being "Yessssssssssssss fuck yesssssssssssss I'm finally freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee."
In his delight Shukaku began to hop around, he was truly free from the boy it almost felt to good to be true. He slowly came to an abrupt halt stopping his dance momentarily and turned to Gaara who was lying on the water motionless "Do not kill that boy, I will kill you if you do he has suffered enough already."
Naruto raised an eyebrow at Shukaku's strange behavior as far as he was aware Shukaku held no attachment to his container. "Very well it matters little to me what happens to boy however I assure you no harm will befall I take it you wish to see Kurama." Shukaku nodded. Naruto flashed through multiple seals and placed his hand on the one tail Biju and said silently Reverse summoning Jutsu in a massive plume of spoke the massive biju had disappeared, Naruto waved his hand and the Anbu dissolved the dome.
Naruto shusined once more to his balcony and looked on in amusement at Orochimaru baffled face "Orochimaru what did you hope to gain by destroying Konoha? You couldn't have possible thought you could win."
Naruto arrogantly stated Orochimaru narrowed his eyes at the boy, who did this brat think he was I was on the front lines in the shinobi war battling against hanzou while he was still pampers it wasn't right he who had researched for the truths of the ninja world was never able to attain a fraction of what the boy had, he was simply born with those gifts.
Orochimaru was deathly silent
Until he erupted into a rancorous fit of laughter, he quickly slammed his head backwards breaking Danzo's noise forcing him to released his hold on him and in that split second
All hell broke loose
He disappeared instantaneously only to appear behind Naruto lifting him by the back of his cloak and in the same go launching him towards the arena.
Naruto made no move at all to stop him
They both landed in the arena with audible thud
Orochimaru wore his snakelike smirk completely sure of his win.
Naruto rose an eyebrow skeptical at the sudden change with Orochimaru
Does he wish to challenge me surely he knows even should he kill me my captains will kill him
The Kazakage that was encased in mangetsu water dissolved into gold matter only to appear by Orochimaru in the face off against Naruto.
The captains gasped in shock and were immediately on edge. This was turning from worse.
They immediately reacted in attempt to aid there commander however it was all for naught.
A familiar purple dome was erected and encased the arena effectively isolating the captains from there commander. The sound four held their hands clasped in the ram seal to effectively maintain the jutsu.
Naruto looked on impassively at the scenario that had just transpired in front of him.
What is his end goal, does he mean to use me as a hostage or kill me ?
Naruto " You cannot win Orochimaru should you kill me you have no hope of making it out alive."
Orochimaru quirked an eyebrow. And laughed a booming laugh a condescending laugh one of full joy and said in a deadly sweet tone that sent a shiver up everyone's spine " Kill you? Kkukkukuuku Your a fool my dear boy I have no interest in killing you, he said "as if it where the most preposterous thing he ever heard" nor do i intend destroy Konoha... it would be sssssuch a wassssste to let ssssssuch a fine magnificent body as yourssss go to waste I wouldn't dare think to kill you."
Naruto narrowed his eyes and after a span of what seemed at most 10 seconds of intense silence he closed them.
" I am the intended target am I not?"
Orochimaru smiled cruelly displaying his sharp canine barring at Naruto hungrily as if Naruto was a tasty morsel on the menu.
Naruto nodded his head in resignation.
I have lost...
