Arashi no Sunagakure= Storm of the Village Hidden in the Sand

Raiden smirked as he held Sajin's life in his hands, his blade glowing white with the faintest hint of wind chakra coating it. "I always knew you were a thieving son of a whore but really? Robbing me in this exam? I oughta slit your throat right here and now an watch as you bleed out onto the nice floor."

The tension in the room mounted, Sajin erupted his KI causing a green haired kunoichi to do the same thing. "Sajin wait until the next part of the exam before you start killing each other."

"Raiden put that blade away before I disqualify you."

The blade was back in its sheathe in an instant. Suddenly Raiden's hand shot out wrapping around Sajin's throat and the ginger was slammed physically into the wall. "I won't kill him...much proctors. Just making my displeasure of thieving countrymen well known."

"You touch my shit again...I'll open you up with a spoon." Raiden whispered before dropping the boy.

To make matters worse Neji tried to communicate through the walls using chakra bursts...A brilliant technique but again Sajin was determined to screw everyone over. Raiden's hand shot towards his thigh, Matsuri had confiscated all of their weapons and supplies and placed them in scrolls. It would most likely be ten scrolls; one for Matsuri, three for Mikashi's puppets and weapons with rest for him.

"Time's up...One more question. This time you have two minutes to decide. The three of you are returning from a mission, you are being chased by enemy ninja. You need to get this information back to your country, one person has volunteered to hold them off."

Raiden snorted and flipped the paper over 'Three are one, one are three. No-one left behind.'

Matsuri and Mikashi had done the same. Sajin saw what Raiden had written but didn't clock that Raiden never let anyone know what he was doing unless HE wanted them to. "Dumbass." Raiden said to himself before launching his chakra to his team mates, because of the amount of chakra it took him to launch himself to his team mates he could then launch chakra messages invisible to all but sensors.

The timer went and everyone filed outside "Everyone who left a team mate behind...failed." Cries and screams of outrage came from the genin who sacrificed a team mate.

"Enough...The second part of the exam is to get to Suna. Every possible pathway will take three days." Announced Temari.

"Except for those less travelled...Delusional cliffs, Suicide Gorge." Thought the Suna teams, no genin team ever dared the lesser travelled paths.

"The first ten teams are through to the finals..." The dark haired Hyuga who Raiden chatted to grabbed his team mates and took off running.

"Matsuri, Mikashi lets go...Matsuri on point." Snapped Raiden and they took running Matsuri heading for the gate, Mikashi the fence and Raiden straight towards the proctors.

Temari swung her fan out instinctively, which was what Raiden anticipated, he jumped onto the fan and launched himself out the courtyard sliding onto a tree and to the floor rolling through sand midflight and hitting the ground running.

"It's a race you morons." Shouted Temari sending the others into a mass panic. Sajin and his team took off in hot persuit of Raiden's team, Sajin would be paid an A-rank mission from the Suna Council if he could get them a Muramasa blade.

"Raiden, you do know people are coming after us for your blade." Matsuri said as they bounced through the trees.

"I know...You're a moron not to. Thankfully this is elimination we can fight back."

"HAND OVER THE SWORD!" Sajin yelled blowing his teams cover.

"Matsuri, Mikashi...Head to Scorpion Desert, take us today and tomorrow if we're lucky."

Raiden landed on the tree, unsheathing his blade and pulling out a hooked kunai that tucked nicely into his elbow.

Sajin launched himself forwards forming seals as he went "Futon: Kenjutsu: Messy encounter." Raiden commented slicing with his sword. The blade of wind launched off the sword and hurtled towards Sajin who hastily replaced himself with a log.

Raiden vanished and reappeared again behind Sajin who had tried to assassinate him from behind only to assassinate a log. Sajin gasped as the sword entered his heart from the back. "Futon: Obstruction clearance." Sajin suddenly off the blade in half as two sheets of wind sliced off the blade cutting the dead teen in half.

Mujin puffed his chest out "RAITON: LIGHTNING DRAGON SHOTGUN!" Raiden called spinning lightning between his hands and thrusted sharply outwards and five small dragons launched off his hands and slammed home, shutting down the boy's cardiac muscles.

"Run home...you've lost." Raiden said to the other boy who gulped and fainted falling to the footpath below.

Raiden caught up with Matsuri and Mikashi, they had become intimate with the wind blade Raiden carried and could tell from his stance he had already killed a few people. "Who were they?"

"Sajin and co. Killed two of them. Now let's get outta here." The three began to move. Two Ame-nin teams tried to attack them but Matsuri caught two and turned to red iron, Raiden fried two more with a tesla flow technique and the other two were caught in Mikakshi's Encore.

"Some people are just too easy." Raiden said absentmindedly as they set up camp two thirds of the way from Konoha.

Mikashi snorted at that as he unfurled their sleeping bags inside of his puppets. It wasn't going to be comfortable but it would suffice, they'd need their wits for Scorpion Desert a ninety mile long twenty mile wide stretch of desert right in the middle of 'storm land' filled with chakra scorpions the smallest of which was about the size of Raiden who was close to 6'.

"Over there...In that clearing I see three Suna-nin."

"It's the Hyuga and his team mates...Be ready."

True enough the three Konoha nin arrived in the encampment followed by another six. "What's up with you leaf-nin?" Growled Raiden going for his blade.

"We don't wish for a fight...We merely seek clarification."

"Look, the three of you remind us of my our first genin exam with Subaku no Gaara..." Began the male Hyuga.

Raiden's eyes widened "THAT explains those orders...do not kill any Konoha nin with white eyes or their team mates."

Matsuri snorted "I'm surprised you followed those orders considering they came Baki."

"Baki trained the Kazekage. Plus the Kazekage gave us the orders personally so we couldn't exactly disobey them right Raiden." Questioned Matsuri iron sand appearing in her hands.

Raiden gripped his blade and jumped upwards reappearing behind a pouting Tenten. "Raiden...let...her...go." Matsuri ordered as the Hyuga and Spandexed teen readied themselves to attack.

"I just wanted to see the blade." Suddenly Tenten was sent into the Hyuga curtesy of a harsh shove and Raiden's KI began to flicker and his eyes began to flicker between emerald and forest green.

"I've killed close to three hundred people including countrymen because of the blades, I possess."

"Why did you kill your own colleagues?" Asked Tenten paling slightly at the monster she unleashed.

"I have eight of the Muramasa Elemental Blades and no I'm not about to tell you which ones I have or give them away. My aim is to collect them and hide them away from the world as so far it has worked." Raiden explained.

"Explains the body count but countrymen?"

"Our council that advises the Kazekage is corrupt...They think they can order us around." Raiden said smirking.

"Raiden does his best to infuriate them, by turning up late, ignoring them and then dismisses himself. When summonrf on down time wastes time arriving unless the Kazekage orders it himself." Matsuri said smirking at her questionably sane team mate.

The group chuckled at that, Raiden groaned popped his back. "Matsuri, Mikashi, you two good for another couple of miles?"

"Raiden are you touched in the head?"

"If we move now, we can hopefully reach the 'Desert Storm' by midnight and hopefully be a good third into the Scorpion Zone by sunrise and possibly be in Suna before the heat sets in."

"We knackered...Unless your willing to haul us in a puppet alone and unprotected." Protested Makashi.

"I've done worse...I killed eight people in my previous war whilst I had a caved ribcage, broken tibia and fibia and a trapped femoral artery...Now shut up and get in the puppets." Soon enough Raiden dismantled the camp, placed his sword on his hip and the puppet on his back.

"I'd advise you don't follow me...For that death is certain." With that he jumped into the trees.

Temari and Shikamaru had made their way to Suna and were now looking at map loaded with chakra dots of all of the participants. It appeared Mikashi and Matsuri were now attached firmly to Raiden "It apears your lot have performed a jutsu of some kind."

"More like Raiden's built up momentum and the others couldn't keep pace so he's stashed them in Mikashi's puppets." Temari said with a dry grin.

Raiden gulped down three soldier pills, with his near experiences he had generated a much higher tolerance for restricted rations such as chakra pills and solider pills. A typical shinobi could only ingest three chakra pills and six soldier pills in a three day stint, Raiden could stomach at least three times that amount before the effects began to take hold.

He raced through the darkness, unknowingly taking the lead and being the first team closest to Suna. However he was being persued, Neji and Hinata had got a good look of his chakra and they were following at a sedate pace.

The trees fell away revealing the barren desert and an ethereal silver glow. "Here we are...Certain death."
