Hey everyone, sorry about the recent absence and not letting anyone know. I had some family issues come up that needed all my attention and didn't have time to write or post anything. Anyways, I'm back with chapter 8 and I hope you all enjoy. As for the poll on the final girl to be added and the second summoning contract, the winners are Karin and Yugioh. He will get the second summoning contract probably during the month break of the chunin exams.
Naruto, Hinata, and Shino were on their way towards the academy where they were told the chunin exams would start. The genin were looking forward to the exams and hopefully becoming chunin by the time the exams were over. As the three neared the academy entrance, they saw Kurenai standing there waiting on them.
"What are you doing here sensei? I thought the senseis weren't allowed to be here?" Hinata asked once the three were close enough.
"Were not allowed to see you all after you enter the academy. I wanted to wish you three luck in the exams and I hope to see you all do well." Kurenai said with a smile.
"We'll make you proud sensei, count on it." Naruto said as Shino nodded before the three continued into the building.
As they made their way to the second floor, they saw a group of genin trying to get into a room. Team eight instantly knew that this was a genjutsu since they were only on the second floor and needed room 301. Deciding to leave the group alone, team eight made their way passed them and continued up the stairs.
As they neared room 301, Naruto felt a large amount of negative emotions. "Kurama, you sense that?"
"Yeah I sense it too. I'll let you know in just a minute where it's coming from." Replied the large fox and Naruto and his team kept walking.
When they entered the room, Naruto immediately started trying to locate the source of the negative emotions. He followed his team over next to team ten so no one would think he was being suspicious. Naruto stopped next to Hinata but his eyes kept darting around the room full of genins.
"Kit this isn't good. The source of the negative emotions is coming from the tallest member of the group of Kusa ninja over there in the corner next to the Uzumaki girl and her team. I have sensed these emotions before back when I was still sealed in your mother." Kurama explained.
"Who is it Kurama?" Naruto asked.
"The snake sannin Orochimaru. It would make sense that he disguised himself to be in the exams if he is trying to invade the village." explained the kyuubi causing Naruto's eyes to widen.
Shikamaru caught the small act and spoke up. "You alright Naruto?" he asked causing the others to look at the blond.
Naruto looked at the Nara and gave him a nod. "Yeah I'm fine, just saw a new friend I want to introduce you all to." Naruto explained as he made a set of one handed signs to the Nara that he learned from Yugao. {Stay here but be prepared for anything.} Shikamaru gave a nod in understanding as he subtly pulled a kunai from his pouch as Naruto walked away.
Naruto walked over to the group of Kusa and Sound ninja. "Hey Karin, you and your team have a minute? I want to introduce you to some of my friends." Naruto asked.
Karin nodded as she, Jugo, and Suigetsu followed Naruto over to his friends. As the four got closer to teams eight and ten, Shikamaru stepped behind the three to keep them from leaving. Naruto turned and faced the three with a deadly glare and a kunai in hand that made them look at him with worry.
"Why are you working with him?" Naruto asked just loud enough for the people in the group to hear.
"Working with who Naruto?" Karin asked.
"I can sense negative emotions and they are pouring off the tallest Kusa ninja over there. I know for a fact that a certain sannin is going to make an appearance during the exams, so it makes sense if that was who I think it is. So I ask again, why are you working with him?" Naruto asked again as the others just tried to figure out what was going on.
"Orochimaru is way stronger than we are Naruto. He is forcing us to work with him and we have no way to escape. We don't want to work with him and if we had a way out, we would gladly take it." Suigetsu said getting nods from Jugo and Karin.
"Can you tell if they are lying?" Naruto asked.
"They don't seem to be, but just to be sure use that seal you made a while back." Replied the fox.
"I can offer you protection here. The hokage will more than likely question you after the exams are over but if you cooperate, I am sure he will let you stay here." Naruto said.
"If it means we can get away from that bastard than I will do whatever it takes." Karin said getting nods from the males of her team.
Chakra covered Naruto's hand as he grabbed each of their wrists. "This is just a safety measure in case you change your minds. Wherever you are, I can track you with that seal and I am the only one who can remove it." Naruto explained before turning to Jugo.
"Lift your shirt so I can see the seal I placed on you." Naruto said. Jugo did as he was told and Naruto's hand started glowing again as he moved his fingers in a few different directions over the seal. "All you have to do now is focus a quick burst of chakra to seal and unseal your power now." Jugo nodded once more before the three left as Fu and her team walked over.
"What was that all about Naruto-kun?" Ino asked.
Naruto unsealed two hiraishin kunai and handed one to Ino and Fuu. "These are for emergencies only. If you need help just throw this into the ground and I will be there instantly. As for you question Ino-chan, I can't really say. Jiji made me promise not to say anything but throughout this exam, be prepared for anything."
(20 minutes later)
Naruto was sitting down at a random seat taking the first part of the chunin exam, a written test. He needed to get Ibiki's attention but didn't want it to seem like to suspicious. "What are you gonna do about this kit?"
"Well first, I'm gonna tick off the Uchiha and get Ibiki's attention. I will let him know where Orochimaru is and hopefully he will be able to do something about him." Naruto replied.
"How are you planning on doing this?" Kurama asked.
Naruto just smirked as he watched Sasuke finish copying down the answers from one of the genin in front of him using his sharingan. Naruto grabbed his own test, stood up, and walked over to Sasuke. Ibiki watched this and was curious as to what the blond was doing. Naruto sat his test down beside Sasuke and took Sasuke's test. When Sasuke started to yell at the blond, Naruto grabbed the back of his head and slammed him face first into the table in front of him before walking back over to his seat.
"Uzumaki, give me one reason I shouldn't kick you out of here right now along with your team?" asked the proctor.
"You said that if we are caught cheating five times that we will be thrown out. That was only the first time I have even touched my test paper which means it is the first time I was caught cheating." Naruto said as he erased Sasuke's name and wrote his own and started checking the answers. He then started making hand signs that he knew Ibiki could see.
"If anyone else tries that you are out of here." Ibiki said as he watched the Uzumaki send him a message.
{Orochimaru is here in the room disguised as a Kusa ninja. Three rows behind me, all the way to the left near the window.} Naruto signed getting a nod from Ibiki as he motioned for two ninja to move in.
The two ninja approached the disguised snake sannin and stood right behind him. "Please come with us. We have some questions we would like to ask you." One of the ninja said.
"Of course." Was the Kusa nins reply. He stood from his seat and pushed in his chair. Before anything could be done, he spun around and kicked one of the ninja into the other and jumped through the window and took off across the rooftops with leaf ninja after him.
"Looks like he got away." Kurama spoke through the mental link.
"Yeah, but hopefully they can catch him before it's too late. Until then we will just have to watch our backs and be prepared for anything." Naruto replied getting a mental nod from the fox.
(Forest of Death)
Team eight was hopping through the trees looking for a team that would hopefully have an earth scroll to pair with their heaven scroll. They had been in the forest for about five hours and had yet to run into any of the other teams. Fu and Ino still hadn't used the hiraishin kunai Naruto had given them so he knew they weren't in any trouble. But with Orochimaru still around, he wanted to get the scroll they needed and get to the tower as soon as possible.
"Naruto, get out of the way now!" Kurama shouted to the blond. Naruto grabbed ahold of Shino and Hinata and pulled them both to the right just as a large snake landed where they were moments before.
"Shit, it's Orochimaru." Naruto said as he saw the snake sannin land on the giant snake's head.
"So the kyuubi brat is taking the exams too. Maybe I won't have to do too much to destroy Konoha after all." Orochimaru thought as he started making hand signs. "Fire style: fire dragon jutsu!"
Orochimaru blew a stream of fire from his mouth that took on the form of a large dragon. The dragon then rushed forward toward the three genin. Naruto activated his mangekyo sharingan and jumped in front of his team. "Susanoo!" Naruto shouted as the yellow ribcage and arms grew around Naruto. This time though, the left skeletal arm had a shield in its hand and used it to stop the jutsu.
Orochimaru was surprised to see one of the sharingan's strongest techniques used by this boy. "So you must have a sharingan too. I thought Sasuke and Itachi were the only Uchiha left alive but it seems I was wrong." Orochimaru said with a smirk. "Perhaps I can use him to destroy the village and then just take his body after he tired and wore out."
"Guys, we have to get out of here. We can't take on a sannin." Naruto said as he and his team started backing away from Orochimaru.
"Now we can't have you leaving just yet. Earth style: earth spears." Orochimaru called out.
Team eight started to dodge the attack but Hinata moved just a split second too late. She let out a scream of pain has one of the earth spear was stuck in her side. "Hinata-chan/san!" Naruto and Shino both called as they rushed to her side.
Naruto bit his thumb and quickly went through a set of hand signs. "Summoning jutsu!" Naruto called out. There was a poof of smoke and when it cleared Niji and Akane were sitting there. "What do you need Naruto-kun/sama?" the two dragons asked.
"Akane, I gave a summoning seal to Zabuza Momochi back in Wave. Summon yourself to that seal and bring the female that is with them back to Niji's location. Tell them it is an emergency." Naruto ordered before the dragon nodded and vanished and he turned to Niji.
"Niji, take Hinata-chan and Shino and get them away from here now." Naruto said as the young dragon started to grow big enough to carry the two ninja.
"You can't fight a sannin by yourself Naruto-san. You need help." Shino said.
"No, Hinata-chan is hurt and is the main priority right now. I will try and hold off Orochimaru as soon as I can. When Haku gets here, have her look over Hinata-chan the best she can. Now go and keep her safe." Naruto said as Shino nodded before picking up Hinata and jumping on the dragon's back.
Kurama watched from within the seal as Naruto tried to control his anger. The large fox noticed a change in the blonde's chakra and tried to pinpoint the location. When found it was coming from Naruto's eyes and was shocked to see his sharingan begin to change. What used to be the mangekyo sharingan was now replaced with purple eyes with a ripple pattern.
"The rinnegan, it can't be." Kurama said to himself when suddenly a figure appeared in front of him. Kurama looked down to see the figure of his father.
"Protect this boy Kurama. He is destined for great things one day." Stated the sage of six paths before disappearing. Kurama started to shout for his father but was stopped by Naruto speaking.
"How many tails do you think I can control right now Kurama?" Naruto asked.
"With the training you have been doing for the past few years, I would say about three tails worth before it would start to consume you." Replied the fox.
"Alright then, give me everything you can then. I am going to kill this bastard." Replied the blond. Naruto stood from the ground and stared directly at Orochimaru as red chakra begin to surround him. In a matter of seconds, Naruto had a chakra cloak that resembled a fox with three tails.
"You die today you son of a bitch!" Naruto shouted.
Not quite as long as my other chapters but I felt this was a good place to end it for now. Next time will be Naruto vs. Orochimaru with maybe one or two other people joining in and probably the preliminaries. I don't know if I will write out every fight or not for the preliminaries. I already have the fights planned out thanks to the help of DominoNamikaze2010, but if there is someone you want me to write a fight out for. Let me know and I will see what I can do. Anyways, until next time.
