As I stood alongside the trio known as the Sand Sibling's, I began to sense an ominous presence in the midst of the team. I wasn't too keen on why, but the best bet was the younger silbing simply known as Gaara. Let's face it, guy's who don't even got a last name? Guy is either a lone wolf or a complete nut. At least I could say my last name was Uzumaki. Or Urameshi at this point, but on to the story. This guy was the shortest out of us, but looked as if he could kick some serious ass. He carried on his back a large jug, filled with who know's. But when I had met the trio a little while after I aced the phony test, I smelled the familiar stench of blood all over this guy. As I stood by with the trio. I awaited for the first half of the Chunin Exam to begin.

"Welcome to all those who passed our little "test" we administered," Anko announced as she flashed the crowd of genin her signature smile. "Now you will move on to our first half of the Chunin Exam. You must obtain these two scroll's from your opponent..." Anko held up two scroll's, one marked "Heaven" while the other scroll read "Earth" for some reason.

"Their is a limited amount of the scroll's that are in play at this time, each team shall be given one scroll," Anko continued. "Each team must bring one of each of these scroll's back to the meeting place, where we shall have the conclusion of the Chunin Exam. If you do not do this in the limited amount of time given, you are disqualified. No murder is allowed, as well as looking at what is inside of the scroll. Those who do will be punished if the seal on the scroll is broken, no matter the reason. Now, collect your scroll and be on your way." As I came up to Anko to recieve my scroll, she gave me a certain look as she held out the scroll. I knew the look all too well, the "Don't fuck this up Naruto" look. I snatched the scroll from her grasp as I turned around to regroup with my team. As I did, I was greeted by Master, who just woke his lazy ass up from his usual nap.

"Naruto, you are an idiot," Master stated as I sighed in response. "Do you not sense it? The odor on that boy, the one with the red hair. He is a jinchuuriki, just as you are. Of course this doesn't cause for much worry, you having I, the mighty Kyuubi no Yoko sealed inside you...

"Enough you old ass fox, tell me what tailed beast is inside of him?" I demanded as Master growled in response to how I addressed him. "OK, sorry about that. Now tell me, what if his tailed beast can sense you inside me?"

"Quite possible, if it is a tailed beast that has a substantial amount of chakra," Master responded. "We must watch how we move around this one, we might blow our pathetic cover. If our revenge is to proceed, we must move swift and out of sight."

"So... we move like a shinobi?" I asked as Master nodded. "That's pretty obvious, but whatever. Now go away, I'm tired of this conversation."

"Be wary Naruto..." Master warned as I waved off the advice. I looked up from my mindscape, taking a deep breath as I resumed the real world. The siege had begun...

As I met up with the Sand Sibling's, the first thing I noticed was that the one known as Gaara was giving me a glance I didn't like too much. A look that I was the one giving the look in most situation's.

"You got a problem kid?" I asked as Gaara kept looking at me with that look, the look that had killer intent. "Because I swear, you keep looking at me, me and my fist are going to give your face a stern talking to."

"You... I don't like you..." Gaara stated as I tried to hold back from choking out the little bastard. "I want to see you... DEAD!"

"Gaara, stop this now!" Temari shouted as her and Kankuro latched on to both of the psychopath's arms. "Listen to your big brother and sister! You don't need to hurt him, he's on our team!"

"I don't like his face..." Gaara responded as the stench of blood filled the air. I sniffed the air almost like a dog as a stream of sand emerged before me, me taking off into the sky. As the stream of sand followed me, I replaced myself with a clone duplicate, allowing the duplicate to be swallowed in the sand as I retreated to the tree's. I watched from the tree as I contemplated what my next move should be. If I didn't put this little bastard in his place now, I'd kill him later. And I was under an order not too, but what could I do? I was in a situation, so I decided to handle it the Naruto Uzumaki way. Fight first, ask question's after I'm done kicking some ass! I emerged from the tree, alongside several Shadow Clone's I summoned. Gaara glanced over, more sand seeping from his jug, sliding across the pavement before taking off at me. I dodged it by jumping up, the other Shadow Clone's going on the defensive to keep the sand at bay. I sneered as I contemplated what jutsu to display here.

"Suiton Suiryuudan no Jutsu (Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu)!" I roared as a large dragon made of water took up half of the field, going after Gaara with the intent to kill. Gaara sneered as he broke away from hus brother and sister, dodging the water dragon as he held his hand in the direction of me. I glanced down as I was surprised by a stream of sand coming up from the ground, encasing me in a ball of sand.

"Sabaku Kyuu (Sand Coffin)!" Gaara shouted as the sand ball exploded, taking me along with it. Or so Gaara thought as the sand was transformed into mud, the me inside the sand transforming into water.

"Mizu Bushin no Jutsu (Water Clone Jutsu) loser," I announced as I emerged from the ground, using Kakashi's old jutsu. I made several hand sign's as Gaara sent more sand my way, the mud that once was Gaara's sand going up to defend me as a wall.

"Doton Doryuuheki (Earth Rising Wall)!" I screamed as Gaara's sand was transformed into mud due to this.

"Do you think that will stop my hunger?" Gaara asked as he looked up, a twisted grin spreading across his face. "I will see your blood become one with my sand, it's begging me to make it so!"

"OK, you're starting to scare me kid, which is quite the feat," I stated as I eyed the psychopath. "You are straight crazy, nothing more nothing less. But I'll show you what real crazy is, real pain!" As I prepared to unleash some of my hidden power, I was interrupted by an ANBU member, who body flickered before the both of us.

"Enough, this battle is over!" the person shouted as Gaara laughed maniacally, sending a stream of sand at the ANBU member. The ANBU member body flickered from the sand, appearing behind Gaara with a poison needle in hand. I sighed as the ANBU member had Gaara in a acheckmate, or so he/she thought.

"Continue this battle and you will be disqualified from the Chunin Exam," the ANBU member warned as Gaara glared at the masked individual.

"Whatever..." Gaara growled as he turned away, both Kankuro and Temari following him.

"Nice job there Haku," I stated as the ANBU member removed his/her mask, revealing Haku.

"How did you know it was me?" Haku asked as I grinned in response.

"Now who could wear that outfit better than you?" I asked as Haku blushed. "Actually, I just know your scent. For some reason, I've had an acute smelling ability, I don't know why."

"That is due to me, of course," Master responded as I moaned in response. "I did a little adjustment on your body recently, you should begin to feel the effect's more and more as time goe's by. I can't have my host so weak, can I?"

"Like I was weak to begin with," I stated as I turned back to Haku. "So, he put you on ANBU huh? Bold move, no doubt."

"Yes, but one I'm used to, wearing the mask and all," Haku replied as she brushed her hair back. "You do know your team is leaving you right?" I glanced back as my team indeed was far ahead, me taking off as Haku watched me.

Flashback

"Haku, you seem to be adjusting well," Orochimaru stated as Haku placed the ANBU mask upon her face. "With Naruto taking the life of your master, I expected you to be more... sad then you are."

"My master died a shinobi's death," Haku answered as she fitted herself into the ANBU outfit. "Could you leave? I want to get changed..."

"I can give you the power you seek to avenge him," Orochimaru interrupted as Haku let go of her hair. which she was placing in a bun. "I can give you the strength you desire, the strength to even kill Naruto. Just do me one thing... be my eye's and ear's for a while. I need the Akatsuki to think that Naruto has placed the wool upon my eye's while I gather my army to defeat them. It will not be easy, with them having Itachi Uchiha and Pain, but I can make due. Will you joiin me?"

Flashback end

Haku bit her lower lip as she turned back, still unsure of her decision. But as she would soon know, there would be consequence's sure to come...

As Itachi and Kisame stood outside the Akatsuki Hideout, an unexpected guest arrived at the hideout.

"Well, look who it is," Kisame announced as he gave the incoming person a grin. "Kimimaro, I've heard of you. Now what would one of Orochimaru's pawn's want with us?"

"Madara-sama sent me here to speak with the one known as Pain," Kimimaro stated as Itachi's eye's widened in surprise.

"This is Madara-sensei's secret seed?" Itachi wondered as Kimimaro turned to him.

"Madara-sama told me to only speak to you Itachi, and you Kisame," Kimimaro continued as Kisame grinned. "I have information on Orochimaru's action. Something so big, that you might want to hear this now." Itachi and Kisame guided him in as Kimimaro stood before the entire Akatsuki.

"What is it that you want pawn?" Pain asked as Kimimaro cleared his throat.

"Orochimaru is planning to use the Endotensei to resurrect a team of shinobi from back in the day, including the First Hokage," Kimimaro explained. "It is said that a upgraded version of the Endotensei can be found in the Hokage's room. He is planning to steal this in the uproar, then use the upgrade to stage an assault on the Akatsuki."

"Does he think such a feeble plan could possibly work?" Pain asked as Kimimaro continued.

"He is not finished yet... he has found the location of where the Sage of Six Path's was buried," Kimimaro continued as Pain's eye's widened. "Not buried, but a place where he was sealed in a time space jutsu. The jutsu can only be undone by a dense amount of chakra from a specific person and certain jutsu that is unknown to me. Supposedly, only a person that is a decendent of the Senju Clan can release it."

"That doesn't make any sense, why would Madara be so calm then?" Itachi thought as he silently listened. "The Sage of Six Path's is the most powerful being in the existence of the shinobi world. So why would he... unless he is planning upon this as well... but the Uchiha clan is a not a descendant of the Senju Clan..."

"Meaning, Naruto Uzumaki right?" Pain announced as Konan looked up from folding a piece of paper. "Naruto is an Uzumaki, a direct decendant of the Senju Clan. So he would be able to undo the seal, along with the other remaining Senju, which is Senju Tsunade. That must be his plan... We could never defeat the Sage of Sox Path's..."

"So we just give up then?" Sasori asked as Deidara snickered.

"Sasori my man, why give up when we can face a legend hmm?" Deidara asked as Pain nodded.

"Yes, but my Rinnegan is no match for the Sage's Rinnegan..." Pain responded as everyone looked at the current Rinnegan holder. "We need to nip this plan in the bud... we are going to assault Orochimaru as he assualt's Konohagakure. Konan, Itachi, Deidara, Sasori, and Kisame, you will travel to Konoha to put an end to this foolishness. I shall meet up with you when I have accomplished my own mission."

"And what is that, my fearless leader?" Kisame asked as Pain narrowed his eye's.

"Kill Senju Tsunade..." Pain responded as his hologram disappeared. "Make sure to bring back Naruto Uzumaki as well... by any mean's needed."

Orochimaru's siege has begun! Akatsuki soon to enter the fold! The battle for the shinobiu world will begin... next chapter!
