Naruto had been awakened from the sleeping genjutsu that had fallen over the entire chuunin exams crowd. However, Naruto didn't await orders when he felt something wrong with his precious people, instead he sprang away towards the massive purple cube sitting in the middle of the village.

Landing at the outer edge of the ANBU sitting there and watching he frowned, finding that not a single one of them made a move to help his Jii-san. Something wasn't right, and after a few minutes of observing them, he figured it out. The cube blocked people from coming in from the sides and the top, but he could see that it didn't cover the ground as well. He could use this.

Dropping off the roof, he found a window ledge and used it to enter the building. Thankfully this building was fairly open, and he could remember the layout of the cube above. Getting to one of the corners, he smirked as he found that the corner only stuck out of the ceiling an inch, giving him the perfect target. A wad of explosive tags later, and he was on his way back to the roof.

Getting back up there, he found the ANBU still sitting there like bumps on the log. "Hey, what are you idiots doing? Go help him!"

One ANBU, wearing a bear mask turned to him, and sighed. "We tried, and can't get through that purple wall kid... go help the others fight..."

"BAH!" Naruto snorted before forming the right hand seals "KAI!"

The massive explosion not only took out the corner, but launched the enemy ninja up into the barrier that prevented those inside from just attacking him. The resulting red paste fell to the rooftop as the barrier collapsed from the missing support. "And that's how you do it, now go help the Hokage!"

Bear let out a grizzly chuckle as he began heading in to help the Hokage fight. "I like your style kid... come with me, and show us some of that guts you had at the Chuunin exams."

Naruto didn't need to be told twice, and the fight that he and the ANBU charged into could only be classified as a one sided massacre... of Oto forces. Halfway through, Naruto summoned Gamabunta, who squished an entire squad of Oto ninja, and the top three floors of the building. It was during this that the turning point occurred. As Orochimaru was summoning forth the Kusanagi, the collapse of the building caused his head to snap in the wrong direction at the wrong moment, sending the blade through the snake, and his brain to end up sticking out of the top of his skull.

The rest of the Oto forces seemed to sense the loss of their leader, as the vast majority suddenly stopped and surrendered. Many of them seemed to be rubbing the base of their necks, and looking around in stunned wonder at everything around them.

Gamabunta looked at the squishy red past that coated his foot silently before sighing. "Kid, you owe me some sake for this one..." Looking up, he caught something that made his frown deepen. "What the hell is Shukaku doing over there?"

"Huh? Oh, well if Jii-san's okay..." Naruto answered back, looking at Sarutobi, who was organizing the containment of the prisoners. "I guess we can go help over there now..."

As Naruto rode off astride Gamabunta, Bear stood next to the Hokage with a proud stance to his body, and in a bemused tone asked. "So... when's he taking his Jounin exams?"
