Naruto (Earlier this Year/Late 2013)

The Crimson Princess of Konoha

One-Shot: The Chunin Exams

A Dusty Alley, Konohagakure no Sato.

"OWW"

"Little Brat, you'll pay for that" says a Suna nin dressed in a black, baggy, full body suit with a red and yellow circle on the front. He is also wearing a black hood which covers his head completely, and has cat-like ears and his Suna Hitai-ate is visible on his forehead and wearing some 'war' paint (cough MAKE-UP cough) on his face as he holds up a little boy wearing a red bandana on his forehead. Normally this wouldn't be anything too unusual, Shinobi in general not being known for their patience. However the little boy in question is Konohamaru Sarutobi, the grandson of the Hokage of Konoha. The Suna nin holding him is Kankurō no Sabaku, brother of Temari no Sabaku and Gaara no Sabaku and son of the Yondaime Kazekage. Standing next to him as he interrogates Konohamaru is his sister Temari whose outfit consists of a single light purple-coloured, off-the-shoulders garment that extended to halfway down her thighs, with a scarlet sash tied around her waist. In addition to incorporating fishnet worn over her shoulders and legs, specifically on her right calf and her left thigh, she has her black Suna Hitai-ate around her neck.

Temari sighs at her brother's actions "Let him go Kankurō, he's just a kid" she comments.

Kankurō growls and shakes his head "No way, I'm gonna teach this little punk some manners"

Before Temari can respond a voice like velvet speaks up "If little Konohamaru-kun needs some manners, I will be the one to teach him, now release the grandson of the Sandaime Hokage or prepare to die" Normally Kankurō would scoff at such a comment, however the strange crimson katana at his throat makes him listen. Standing next to Kankurō is a twelve year old Kunoichi wearing patterned leather armor (Think Royal Vampire Armor from Skyrim) that is dyed a dull red with a crimson cloak with a hood, where a catch for her cloak would be is her Konoha Hitai-ate which appears to act as the catch to hold her cloak closed. The girl is around 170 centimeters tall, just a little taller than Kankurō, while her outfit covers her face and all of her skin, it is easy to see that she has a decent figure with what looks like high B, low C cup breasts and toned limbs without even a speck of unnecessary fat anywhere. In fact they can easily see rippling muscles under her tight clothes.

Kankurō rapidly lets go of Konohamaru who hides behind the newcomer, Kankurō quickly stutters out "I-I've l-let t-the k-kid g-go, w-would y-you k-kindly l-lower y-your b-blade?" The mystery girls aura seems to just ooze smug satisfaction, she then shifts her katana away from Kankurō and sheathes it in a dull red leather sheath on her belt.

The girl seems to smirk before she comments "Good, don't let me catch you doing this again, or else my blade will go for something a little… lower, instead. Understand?" Kankurō's head almost falls off from the nodding he does in order to answer the question, he had picked up the subtle threat to his pride and joy. Temari almost busts a rib laughing at her brother's misfortune. The girl then turns to Konohamaru and says "Head on home, Konohamaru-kun. I have some business with these Suna nins"

Konohamaru nods "Okay Beni-Oneesan" Konohamaru then runs off with his friends towards the Hokage tower.

The girl, now reveal to be called 'Beni', turns back to Kankurō, however as she opens her mouth to say something, she snaps it closed and disappears in a Shunshin leaving behind some strange red liquid. Before either of the Suna siblings can say anything the third sibling slams into the ground at their feet. Before Gaara can get up, a familiar red blade appears at his neck, with the strange girl 'Beni' somehow reaching straight through Gaara's ultimate defense and grabbing his hair and yanking Gaara's head back. Her voice once like smooth velvet now has a echo of anger in it, surrounding 'Beni' is a slight red aura that feels like pure malice "How dare you, Suna scum. You know that you were supposed to report to the Hokage upon arrival, how dare you bring your Jinchūriki here without permission. As the 'Mōmoku Kurenai Tenshi' (A/N Blind Crimson Angel) I cannot allow such a travesty to exist. You will come with me NOW" The last shout stirs the Suna nin, but before they can do anything 'Beni' disappears with Gaara in another red liquid Shunshin to destinations unknown.

Unknown location, Konohagakure no Sato

'Beni' sighs as she places the last of the tracking and containment seals on Gaara, who was quiet now that his 'mother' was silenced. He had been told that outside of certain areas (Training Ground 44 and the Arena) his 'tenant's' chakra was sealed and while he was inside the walls of Konoha his location could be tracked. However while the seals held back his 'tenant's' chakra if he was in a life or death situation the seals would deactivate. 'Beni' disappears in her special Chi-Shunshin (Chi = Blood) to the Hokage's office.

Hokage's Office, Konohagakure no Sato

'Beni' appears suddenly in her trademark 'Whirl of Blood'™ into the Hokage's office where Hiruzen Sarutobi and Fugaku Uchiha are currently talking about the Chunin Exam.

Hiruzen doesn't even react to 'Beni's' sudden appearance he simply says "Hello Benihime-chan, is there a problem?"

The girl whose name is now known as Benihime nods "Yes, it appears that Suna has sent their Jinchūriki, of the Ichibi if I'm not mistaken. I have followed protocol on this and he is currently sitting in my sealing room, with your permission I will return him to his team"

Hiruzen nods "Permission granted Benihime, keep an eye out. Orochimaru has been mentioned by Jiraiya's spies"

Benihime nods "Understood Hokage, I will keep an eye out during the second task. By your leave, Hokage, Tou-san"

Hiruzen and Fugaku nod to Benihime, who then Shunshins away.

Fugaku turns back to Hiruzen and says "I'm glad Benihime-chan has recovered, I still remember that night"

Hiruzen sighs at the memories of that bloodstained night "As do I Fugaku, as do I. That night changed so much, her innocence was lost. I still remember the energetic child she once was, she still has nightmares about it you know" Fugaku nods softly. The two powerful men and the ANBU guards in the room bow their heads in remembrance of the beautiful and energetic child that Benihime used to be, she had touched their hearts.

Crimson Princess

That Night, Benihime's Apartment.

Benihime's Nightmare

Blood.

The smell of it is thick, Benihime screams at the pain from the lacerations on her stomach, her tears run down her face and chest into the ruin that used to be her abdomen. The villagers jeers at her pain, suddenly a one-armed one-eyed man stands over her with a Kunai. He slashes at her face, Benihime feels a sharp cutting feeling on her face and everything goes white, then black, then Red.

RRROOOAAARRR

A inhuman roar rips through the night, the one-eyed man is torn apart by just the force of the roar, Benihime clad in a red aura tears through the villagers like paper, among them are the Civilian Council, the Advisors and the clan elders of both Hyūga and Uchiha, all are slain within seconds by the possessed Benihime. Rivers of blood run down the walls of the alley she's in, oceans of blood lie everywhere. Even though she is blind, Benihime sees, in front of her is the Hokage, the old man, the kind one

Gasp.

Benihime gasps for air as she tries to dispel the remnants of that night. She curls up into a ball and sobs quietly to herself. No matter how hard she tries she can never forget that fateful night almost nine years ago, and she knows that she never will.

Benihime soon falls back to sleep, luckily it is a dreamless one.

Crimson Princess

Room 301, the Konoha Shinobi Academy

"ENOUGH"

Benihime's KI fills the room and the Oto Genins fall to their knees along with the rest of the Genins, even Kabuto is affected by the raw malice and pure evil in the Killing Intent.

Benihime lowers her KI and scowls at the Genin "The next fool to fight when they haven't been told to will be sent back to their village in pieces. If that fool happens to be from Konoha, they will spend the next week in the I&T department. Am I understood?" The last question is asked with a simple threat laced into it 'Fuck with me and it will be the last thing you do' Unsurprisingly all of the Genin nod in fear.

Benihime smiles "Excellent, now we will be doing a written test. You will all be given a number and told to sit there, attempting to sit anywhere else will not be tolerated. On the test is ten questions for each question you have a point, any question left unanswered of answered incorrectly loses that point. Anyone caught cheating loses two points. If by some chance a fool reaches zero, they and their team will be disqualified. Remember, until the third task you and your team win and lose as one. That is all. You have forty-five minutes to do the first nine questions before the tenth is asked, now find your seats" Every Genin quickly gets to their assigned seats, Benihime sees that all the Genin are seated, nods and says "Begin" Every Genin turns their test over and begins.

The next forty-five minutes becomes Benihime's relaxation time, she simply sits at the desk in front of the room and does nothing. The Genins however panic slightly before moving on to their own methods of cheating, most of which Benihime spots. She however doesn't do anything as they are suitably well disguised and won't be noticed unless under careful scrutiny. However of the Fifty teams there, it quickly dwindles down to only twenty eight.

Soon the forty-five minutes are up and Benihime stands up and says "To all those still here, now we move onto the next part. The tenth question. But first you must decide whether or not to take the question, for if you chose not to you immediately fail the Exam, BUT if you do take it and fail. You will NEVER become a Chunin. It is now your choice" During the next five minutes six more teams drop out. Only Twenty-two are left.

Benihime stands up and says "All of you wish to take the Tenth question?" The Genins left all nod their affirmative.

Benihime smiles under her hood, and then says "Congratulations, you've passed. Now I can already hear you wondering how, and that is simple. The tenth question was in fact the only question and that was, do you take a difficult mission? Even if you and your team may die? Many would say No! However as a Chunin and Jounin of your villages, you MUST say yes. For if you don't many of your friends and your village's civilians may die. I once again congratulate you on passing the first round of the Chunin Exam" A mere second after Benihime stops talking, a round ball smashes through a window and unfolds into a banner stating.

Introducing the Sexy Second Round Examiner

Anko Mitarashi

Following the banner is a dark shape which unfolds into a woman who has light brown, pupil-less eyes, and violet hair which is styled in a short, spiky, fanned-ponytail. She is wearing a tan overcoat with a purple in-seam, which has a pocket on both sides, and is complete with a fitted mesh body suit that stretches from her neck down to her thighs. She is wearing a dark orange mini-skirt, with her Hitai-ate is on her forehead, a small pendant that looks like a snake fang on a thick cord rather than a chain to prevent it from being easily torn off in combat, a wrist watch, and pale grey shin guards. She also has a dark blue belt around her waist that connects to her skirt that has an appendage-like sash.

This woman is the Snake Whore of Konoha.

Anko Mitarashi.

Benihime raises an eyebrow "Wow, Anko. You're actually on time for once, I thought you were becoming the inverse Kakashi for a while there, not that that's a bad thing"

Anko blushes and laughs "Yeah, well. Kurenai-chan held me up for a little bit, that's why I was on time. Wow, twenty two teams? Have you lost your touch?"

Benihime sniggers "Nah, Got a lot of brass balls and steel boobs in this group. I even flared my KI at them in the beginning"

Anko raises her right eyebrow and then looks out at the Genins "Wow, that's impressive. Alright enough of that, you lot. Meet me at Training Ground 44 tomorrow morning. Okay?" Without waiting for an answer Anko jumps back out the window she jumped in through.

Benihime raises her other eyebrow before she shakes her head in pity. She then says "Training Ground 44 is north of the Sakura Hot Spring. Any Chunin or Jounins can direct you"
