A/N: Well, this update shouldn't surprise anyone that read my last author note. Anyways, this is the second part of the last chapter I cut out due to it being too long. Don't get me wrong, long chapters are a good thing, I just like keeping my words per chapter steady, though I know in the final chapters it they will be rather lengthy.

I Do Not Own Naruto or BloodRayne.


In front of a dark forest with a fence around it, Naruto was leaning up against the said fence as both Gaara and Yugito looked at him worriedly with a hint of curiosity. He refrained from growling at them as he repressed all the memories that the female Inuzaku brought him. As he did, he looked both dead in the eyes before calmly speaking. "I do not and will not say anything. Both of you will learn in due time, but it is not now, so let it drop." He spoke forcefully at the end, trying to end the attempted prying into his past.

Yugito shook her head lightly as she sighed out loud as she looked over at him. "As much as I want to let it drop for now, neither of us can. She is obviously affecting you so we need to know what it is so we can help. I can understand not telling the other three, but we are your friends and we can help you as we know what it is like."

Naruto narrowed his eyes lightly at her as Gaara nodded along with her. Neither would desist until he told them, yet he did not want to. So instead, he turned away from them. Yugito growled at him as he did this as Gaara was deliberate on whether to attempt to use his sand on him to try and pry the information out of him when the dual breed spoke. "Do you really wish to know?" Both nodded at him as Yugito crossed her arms around her chest as Gaara glared at him. "Fine, but I will not tell you, but give you something to mull over. Mostly everyone only physically harmed me while some tried to break me mentally. She went out of her way to hurt me in every possible way that she could and enjoyed every second of doing it. Among everyone in this village, I loathe her the most."

The blood drained form Yugito's face while Gaara looked mildly stunned at that. Yugito looked pityingly at Naruto but quickly shook that out of her system as she looked at Naruto as she thought of everything that could be done to a four to five year old. She shivered lightly at the mere thought as it was something she couldn't contemplate as a child was suppose to be free and innocent and even her childhood wasn't all that bad. She would have said something about it but others began to arrive cutting her off from doing so as she had noticed that almost everyone there had their attention on them, more specifically Naruto.

She refrained from growling as mostly all the girls, not including the Konoha kunoichi and Kin were looking at him in a slight daze of aw and even Kin to some extent was as well, though hers was more respect then aw. The others were ticking her off as they seemed to becoming fan girls and the last thing she needed was more competition since Gobi was more then enough for her already. Putting her jealousy aside, she also noted that he had all the Konoha gennins' attention on him as well, mainly because of what Kabuto had said earlier.

Yugito mentally sighed as she really didn't like being the center of attention, but knew this was coming soon as Orochimaru had told Naruto to use his real name. Then again, Naruto seemed to be relishing in it which was quite odd to her but she put it aside for now seeing that Naruto was hard to predict and read. Gaara really didn't look like he cared at all, which was close to the truth although he was getting slightly ticked at the fact they wouldn't stop looking at them.

Naruto began tapping his foot in annoyance as he could sense and see all the proctors setting everything for the exam up, yet they were no closer to completion then they were twenty minutes ago. Soon as he thought that, a poof of smoke erupted in front of most of the gennin revealing Hana and her three dogs. Naruto instantly began reigning in his emotions and killing intent as he knew now wasn't the time. Even so his blood began boiling making it harder to control making it all the more difficult for him to reign in his growing blood lust.

Unaware of the potential danger of Naruto's growing rage, Hana looked over all the gennin with her cold gaze only warming up when she looked over towards Kiba and hardened when she saw Naruto. Turning away from him, her gaze returned to its normal cold glare as she looked over the rest of the gennin before speaking. "Alright, seeing that all of you are here we can begin the second part of the exam which you will be partaking here in training ground forty-four, also known as the forest of Death." Mostly everyone paled at the ominous name except for a few, including Naruto, that smirked hoping the forest would live up to its name.

"In this test, you will be tested on your survival skills along with your team work, stealth, fighting prowess and intelligence gathering." Many raised their eyebrows at this as they were just tested on the last, but continued listening as Hana continued on with her speech as she pulled out a brown and white scroll. "You will be given on of these scrolls from the booths over there. Your task is to collect the opposite scroll, meaning if you have heaven scroll you need to get a earth scroll and vice versa. But these scrolls won't be laid out around in this forest, you will have to take them from other teams by any means necessary."

Most of the gennin nodded at this while a few frowned but continued listening as she wrapped up her speech as she pulled out a stack of papers. "After you get both scrolls, you will head to the tower in this forest. There is a map over at the booths, but you cannot take it with you so you'll have to memorize it and the position of the tower as I will not tell you. Now I need you to sign these forms for liability so your home villages can't complain about us is you die from this point on in the exam. Once you sign them head over to the booths and hand in your papers with the rest of your team to get a scroll and the gate you will be assigned to. And on one last note, if one of you are to die or be incapacitated when you reached the tower, you fail the test."

As she finished she began handing out papers to each of the gennin though she had the last gennin she handed the papers to, which happened to be Hinata to hand the rest to Oto shinobi since Naruto was there. While most of the others found this odd, Naruto was actually grateful as if she had been within arms reach of him, he would have probably lost to his instincts and would have attacked her. Shaking his head, he quickly signed the paper before turning to the sound three. "Alright, you have those kunai I gave you?" All three nodded in confirmation so Naruto could continue. "Good. Now I doubt you'll have to use them, but if you are in a situation you can't get out of, throw them into the ground and I'll be there in a flash."

Remembering what happened in the mourning, all three nodded knowing how fast he could move from the fact he killed the Root Anbu and had given Kin and Zaku the answers during the first exam without anyone seeing him. Naruto nodded back at them before heading over to the booth with the others behind him. Handing his papers to the proctor along with Gaara and Yugito, the proctor pulled out a covered scroll to keep it from being seen. "Your gate is number nine."

Naruto nodded as both Gaara and Yugito attempted to find the map in the said booth, but were unable to as Naruto had already begun to walk off towards their gate. Quickly catching up to him, Yugito gripped his shoulder and growled lightly at him as Gaara gave him his patented glare before speaking. "We need to see the map."

A grin appeared on Naruto's face as he reached into his pouch and pulled out a rolled up parchment. "You mean this map?"

Both refrained from sweat dropping and failed as Naruto grinned not unlike a certain fox before they shook their heads and sighed. After a few moments they were standing at the gate, going over the map. Well Naruto was; both Gaara and Yugito were glaring at him before the latter spoke up. "You know that's kind of cruel. I know you don't like it here, but you know if no one knows where they are going then only we..."

"Incorrect. If you haven't notice there are eight booths meaning there are eight maps. While the bitch was handing out the papers to sign, I stopped time and grabbed all eight maps and secretly put one map in one person's pouch of the seven teams I want to pass which in turn are some of our targets and will help make the tournament at the end interesting."Naruto interrupted as he rolled up the map and threw it towards Yugito, who in turn stared at him.

"Well, are you going to tell us which teams you gave the maps?"

"Nosey are we?" Naruto grinned as Yugito glared at him with killing intent leaking out while Gaara looked semi amused and pissed at the same time making Naruto's grin widen. "Well I guess I'll tell you two. I obviously gave one map to the others sound team. I also gave one to four Konoha teams with our targets on them. Now as for the other two I gave one to Kabuto's team as we know they will pass anyways. Finally, I gave one to the Kusagakure team."

Both Gaara and Yugito raised their eyebrows at the last team and the sand user was the first one to openly question him. "Why exactly the grass team?"

Shaking his head lightly at both of them, the dual breed began to inspect his blades before answering them. "There is something weird about the one with two different eyes. That one eye of his... can follow me while using Stop Time. Only Kyuubi and Rayne-kaa-san can actually see me while using it and even she has difficulties without using Beliar's eye. So seeing that his eye was following me in the first exam, I believe it to be the other eye of Beliar."

As he said this, both their eyes widened in surprise and Yugito quickly spoke. "If you are sure it's the eye of Beliar we need to take it out of him right away..."

"Yugito, have you forgotten what happens when you are handling one of the pieces of Beliar?" Naruto interrupted her again. Yugito flinched lightly as she knew all too well what would happen having seen someone handling one before it violently replaced the corresponding part in the handler's body. Naruto nodded lightly at her. "Good, now you know we don't have anything on hand to remove it without it replacing one of our eyes. The only bright side is the damn things are indestructible so we don't have to worry about damaging them."

Both nodded lightly as Yugito rolled out the map and began to look at it before handing it to Gaara. Once he had finished looking over it and pocketed it, the three waited for their gate to open. Fortunately they didn't have to wait to long as all the teams were at their gates ready to go, though slightly miffed at not knowing where the tower was. As everyone was finished gearing up for the start of the exam, Hana's voice was heard over the intercom. "Gatekeepers, open the gates and initiate the second exam."

As her voice faded away, the gate slid open and Naruto walked into the forest closely followed by Gaara and Yugito. After a few moments, they took to the trees and began hopping tree as Naruto activated his Aura Vision to search for a target. Looking around for a few moments, Naruto motioned them closer as he pointed out an Amegakure team in the distance. Jumping closer to them, each of them noticed their umbrellas. Understanding why the used them, the three looked at each other, trying to stare the other two down as all three of them spoke in unison.

"I want them."

Blinking at each other in confusion before shaking it off, Yugito held out her fist. "Jenken."

A smirk graced Naruto's lips as he nodded and held out his fist thinking this was in the bag. Unfortunately Gaara noticed this and frowned. "Without using powers."

Yugito nodded in agreement making Naruto frown and pout. Having both of them glare at him, he dropped the act as he nodded once more and agreed with the stipulation. Seeing him agree, Gaara moved his hand forward before the three went through the motions before throwing out their choice. As they looked at their choices, both Naruto and Yugito frowned at their flat hands as Gaara had his in the shape of scissors. Gaara shrugged uncaringly though mentally chibi Gaara was jumping in glee.

Gaara shook that image out of his head as it was unbefitting of him as he stood up and disappeared in a swirl of sand only to appear behind the three unsuspecting Ame gennin. He questioned if the three were actually gennin as they seemed a few years older then Yugito. Not really caring about their age, Gaara's sand began to pour out of his gourd as the three realized someone was behind them and whirled around to face them only to see the sand jinchuuriki. He refrained from growling in annoyance as the three let up their guard slightly not thinking he was great enough of a threat to warrant their full attention. He would make them pay for that.

The leader of the three Ame gennin stepped up with both his other teammates flanking his side. As they did so, both Naruto and Yugito appeared besides Gaara, flanking him as well since they weren't going to do the fighting. The Ame team looked slightly frightened seeing the blonde boy making Naruto smirk while Gaara frowned even more. Sensing this, Naruto leaned up against a nearby tree and crossed his arms over his chest while looking over at the Ame team. "Hn. You needn't worry about me. He's your opponent, not me. Besides, do you honestly think you are worth my time?"

Seeing them being irked by his comment, Yugito nodded in agreement as she placed her hand on her hip and grinned at the three making their anger increase even further. "I have to agree. They don't seem to be worth or time. Hell, I don't even think they are worth Gaara's time either. Maybe we should leave since there are bound to be stronger teams to fight."

Gaara was beginning to get pissed at their interference when he noticed the blood lust and killing intent coming of the three Ame shinobi. A small smirk graced his lips as he noticed their leader grabbing his two umbrellas as his face was twitching in rage. Seeing this, Gaara nodded in agreement and was about to turn around when the leader yelled at them in fury. "NEVER TURN YOU BACK ON AN ENEMY!"

With a quick thrust of his arms, his two umbrellas were open and thrown into the air with more velocity then needed as Gaara slowly turned back and coldly gazed at him while his sand began swirling around him. Seeing this made the leader smirk as his umbrellas began spinning wildly. "Ha! That feeble sand of yours won't be able to stop this! Die you bastards!"

Thousands of senbon rained down upon Gaara spinning completely around him as they seeked their target before all flying towards him like miniature missiles. And an explosion of sand erupted on impact covering the area Gaara was standing. The leader smirked in victory as he turned to Naruto and Yugito only to see them completely unfazed and rather bored. His anger grew by two fold believing they weren't taking him seriously and was started to command his umbrella rain down his senbon on them.

"Is that all?"

His eyes widened in horror as he rapidly turned back to were Gaara was to see the sand and dust cloud settle down to see Gaara unharmed. His blood drained as he noticed an incomplete sphere of sand surrounding the Ichibi vessel with his senbon piercing almost every square inch of it yet they hadn't even made it a centimeter in the inch thick sand barrier. Not believing what he had seen, he commanded his umbrellas to shoot every last senbon at him in hope it would pierce his barrier. In response, Gaara summoned more sand and blocked each senbon that flew towards him with the utmost ease.

The Ame gennin's horror drastically grew seeing this as Gaara glared viciously at them. He already disliked being thought less of, but calling his sand feeble was crossing the line. He prided himself in his sand and his ability to control it with and without Shukaku's help. He had finally gotten it to the point that he could block attacks subconsciously with his sand alone near the level Shukaku did for him, but he still occasionally used the tanuki for help especially if he had to concentrate on the battle. So by disrespecting his sand was directly disrespecting him and no one messed with Sabaku no Gaara and got away with it.

As the senbon halted, Gaara's sand lashed out towards the unsuspecting leader and quickly wrapped around him like a cocoon as he slowly brought one of his hands forward while extending his other arm and caught a falling umbrella. Placing the umbrella over him as if to stop rain, Gaara smirked slightly as he clenched his fist tightly almost driving his nails into his skin. The Ame gennin screamed for only a few second the sand completely crushed his body while his blood shot out in every direction, drenching everything in its path.

The ex Ame nin's teammates screamed and yelled in horror as they tried to run, but the sand quickly caught them and wrapped around them so they had no way to escape. Gaara glanced at the coldly as he extended his hand forward once more to their fright when he felt his wrist being gripped to see Yugito besides him. "Stop, they've had enough." Looking into her eyes before looking over towards Naruto on his right and seeing the look on his face nodded as he released the two from their sand. Seeing he had released them, Yugito walked forward and grabbed their jackets and hauled them up. "Alright, now give us your scroll."

The one in her left hand nodded as he pulled out heaven scroll and dropped it on the ground. Yugito let the two of them go and picked up as the two scampered away from the area in a panic. Examining it for a second to make sure it was a real one, she tossed it over to Naruto who in turned pulled out their covered scroll as he hadn't deemed it important enough to look at yet and uncovered it to reveal it was an earth scroll. Nodding lightly as he pocketed them into his pouch, Naruto looked over to Gaara. "That was kind of vicious, even for you. Try and keep contro of yourself and never attack those that don't need to be."

Gaara nodded lightly as he had lost control over himself again but had been getting better at controlling himself of lately. Nodding back at him, Naruto turned over to Yugito before narrowing his eyes as he turned to the bushes as his blades sprang to life. "Enjoy the show now did we?"

Before either could figure out what Naruto meant by that, he had appeared by the bushes and swung his arms forward, slamming both Kiba and Shino into a tree with their jacket collars caught by the blades. Both of their eyes had widened at this as Hinata looked stunned before she activated her Byukugan, only to find an arm wrapped around her neck and waist tightly while sand gripped both of her arms. She mentally cursed as the blonde haired girl had managed to use her blind spot to get behind her and not being able to notice the sand around her earlier.

Naruto smirked lightly at the fear on their faces before frowning as he noted the Aburame's bugs trying to crawl onto him. Shaking his head as he had though ahead of time and applied bug repellent, he looked at the two before glaring at Kiba. "Mutt, you are lucky I don't kill you right here and now for what your sister did to me. But I'm above killing relatives for revenge so consider yourself extremely lucky. But I will say this, if you try to hunt me down and kill me like your family wants, I will kill you without hesitation. And don't think I can't do it as if you didn't notice the situation, I have you by the balls." He added the last part to keep the arrogance of the Inuzaku from emerging and making him say something stupid that probably would have left him in a mess.

Turning over to the Aburame, who was still trying to get his bugs to climb upon Naruto and drain his chakra even though the kikai would die if they feast on him due to his vampiric nature, he pressed him tightly against the tree. "Now you, aren't you suppose to use your logic? If so, why do you follow your clan blindly when you know they are heading down the wrong path? Just look at what has happened in the last couple of years and you will understand why it's not very logical. Now if you ask me it is very dumb, but I'm not an Aburame so I won't complain." Both looked at him in confusion as his words began to absorb into them when Naruto continued now looking at both of them. "Now that I have you thinking, I'll be leaving you alone, but first..."

With a quick snap of his blades he grabbed their faces and smashed their heads into the tree knocking them out cold. As they slid to the ground, Naruto reached into Kiba's jacket and pulled out a shivering Akamaru. He tilted his head at him before growling lightly as if talking to him. In response, Akamaru yipped a few times and Naruto nodded before growling something else as he placed the small dog back on its partner. Turning away from the pup, his gaze turned on the former Hyuuga heiress before to Gaara and Yugito. "Release her. We have a few things that need to be discussed."

Both nodded knowing this already released her before sitting her down on a chair of sand Gaara had created. The said Hyuuga looked at all of them in confusion but knew for a strange reason she wasn't in danger so she deactivated her Byukugan. Gazing at them cautiously, Hinata turned to Naruto. "What do we need to discuss? We have never met to my knowledge so if we could make this quick because unlike you, we still have to get our other scroll."

Naruto raised his eyebrow as no one had ever talked to him like that as Gaara refrained from snickering while Yugito mouthed touché. Shaking his head of her tone and attitude towards him, Naruto feigned innocence. "Oh, poor princess. I reassure you that we won't be wasting your time. And how can you not remember me? We used to play with each other in the park until your father nearly killed me for being near you." The last part he said in a sickenly sweet voice that made everyone there flinch.

Hinata's eyes widened in recognition as a touch of her past self surfaced. Naruto mentally smirked as he saw this and was already liking what he saw as she spoke weakly. "T-that was you? B-but you look so d-different?" Suddenly her cold exterior returned as she clenched her fist tightly. "So it was my father that forced you to leave. I should have known that cold hearted fuck would do that. Ha! I bet he got it when he forced you out seeing who you are."

A soft sigh escaped Naruto making Hinata looked up at him in confusion. Shaking his head, Naruto looked down at the female Hyuuga. "So you don't know why or how I was 'chased' out of the village."

"No, I know why you were chased out. You were the child the Yondaime sealed Kyuubi into therefore Kyuubi." Naruto narrowed his eyes hearing this, not liking the fact that soon as he left they told the younger generations of his former burden. Before he could respond, Hinata continued on. "If you ask me it's a load of crap. Sure, you may have the fox sealed within you but that doesn't mean you are it. Hell if you were Kyuubi you would have killed any of the villagers that treated you badly. Anyways, to answer your second question, I do not know how you were chased out of the village."

Naruto nodded lightly as a light smile crossed his face already liking the girl more and more before his face dropped as he remembered the events of the day Rayne, Kyuubi and Itachi took him from the village. Sighing lightly as he leaned deeper into the tree, Naruto looked over at the Hyuuga. "It's simple. The villagers nearly killed me. In fact, they should have succeeded by all means." Hinata paled as her old self tried to pry its why back out as Naruto continued. "If it wasn't for Rayne-kaa-san killing all of them, feeding me some of her blood to become dhampir and Kyuubi turning the rest of my human side demon I would have died that day. Hell, even Itachi killed those two Anbu and his best friend to protect me that night. After they saved me and left the village, all three took me under their wings."

Once he finished, Hinata was battling her old self and was struggling to maintain control. Just barely reining it in, Hinata gritted her teeth and closed her eyes in an attempt to control herself. Once she did, she opened her eyes and looked straight at Naruto. "I see. I would leave under those circumstances myself... Screw that. I want to leave this forsaken village now! Is there a way you can take me with you?"

Yugito refrained from growling out loud as she instinctively felt threatened by the blue hair girl. Oddly enough she was beginning to understand what Gobi went through everyday when she was so close to Naruto. Noticing this, Naruto smiled lightly at her before turning to Hinata. "Sorry, but no." Hinata narrowed her eyes at this and was about to get up and leave when Naruto continued on. "But, I have something much better." Her interested suddenly spiked as she looked at Naruto expectantly earning her a grin. "You see, Oto is planning an attack on Konoha, but not to destroy it. Only to liberate it and return Konoha to its past glory. All three sannin are leading the assault along with Rayne-kaa-san."

Hinata's eyes widened as far as they could before they returned to normal as a wicked smirk crossed graced her lips as she looked Naruto dead in the eyes. "So how can I help?"

Naruto couldn't help but smirk back at her as he leaned off the tree and began stretching his arms out. "All I need you to do is to convince the branch house to join in our struggle. In return, Jiraiya and Orochimaru will remove the cage bird." Hinata smirked and quickly nodded in agreement as she had been recently sleeping in the branch house's section of the Hyuuga complex, which was only a quarter of the size of the main branch. Naruto seeing her agree offered her his hand to help her up. "But remember to keep this secret so only tell those you trust within the branch house so they can spread the news as they will know who are the main branch lap dogs better then you do."

The female Hyuuga nodded as she took Naruto's hand and stood up and stretched lightly. "I will. And I guess you should be leaving now. It seems they are about to get up." She pointed to both Kiba and Shino who indeed were being to stir.

Seeing this Naruto, nodded lightly as he handed her a Hiraishin kunai. "If you need my help, throw that into the ground and I'll come."

With that he along with Gaara and Yugito disappeared into thin air as both Kiba and Shino slowly began to awaken. Hinata could only smirk as she pocketed the kunai in her pouch as she walked over to her two teammates. Finally she could get back at her father.


Naruto sighed as they were waiting nearby the tower, picking off any teams that accidentally found themselves at the tower. A day had pass and not a single team he had planted a map on had made it to the tower. Hell, he couldn't even see any of the teams with his Aura Vision meaning they were at least a mile away from him at best. The only bright side of the wait for them was that they had picked up five scrolls, three of which were heaven and the other two were earth. He honestly didn't know what to do with them all, but it was better then allowing teams he didn't want to enter the tower.

Shaking his head of that thought, he turned to the sleeping form of Yugito and smiled lightly at her. He examined her for a few moments before catching what he was doing and turning away with a small blush as Gaara raised his eyebrow at him. Ignoring the red head, who was mentally planning on using his sand sphere to entrap the two until they admitted they liked each other, Naruto looked around the nearby forest with his Aura Vision and sighed. Not a single soul was close other then the teams they had already took a scroll from.

Getting more restless then before, Naruto snapped his blades into place and began expecting them once more in a mediocre attempt to hide his boredom. Of course Gaara already could see this quite easily but chose not to say anything. The sand jinchuuriki wouldn't admit it, but he actually liked listening to the sounds of the forest as it soothed him, though not as much as a full moon. Then again, he noted the blonde actually never was really truly calm unless he was in battle or with either Gobi or Yugito. It was quite odd to him, but at the same time it made sense as he knew the blonde dual breed's to halves were almost always constantly and pointlessly warring with each other.

Shaking his head, he was wondering if he should make a cottage of sand when Naruto jumped up and began scanning around for something. The red head blink in confusion before he noticed the blonde fingering his pouch and understood that one of the sound three had to have thrown the Hiraishin kunai. "Go ahead. I'll look over Yugito while you're gone."

Naruto nodded in confirmation before he used Stop Time and rushed towards the kunai marker as nothing but an extremely thin line of black and red light that was almost unnoticeable by even the best shinobi. Rushing through the rather large forest, Naruto turned left as he followed the resonating pulse of the kunai before he jumped into a clearing with the sound three badly beaten down. But he couldn't blame them as they seemed to have been ambushed by the other three Konoha teams. Appearing by the kunai, which Kin had thrown, he deactivated Stop Time and appeared in front of the sound three.

Everyone stopped and looked on at shock at the blonde haired dual breed, but none more so then the sound three themselves. While both Kin and Zaku were grateful beyond all measures that he came, Dosu was kind of upset but wouldn't allow his pride to screw him over as he knew he wasn't a match for nine skillful gennin and knew deep down that the blonde was.

Turning back to the three Oto gennin, Naruto shook his head before pulling Dosu up before he reached into his pouch and handed him both a heaven and earth scroll. The bandaged sound gennin blinked in confusion as Naruto turned around and faced the nine gennin. "Those are two spares we got. Now head for the tower. I'll catch up to you in a few minutes; I have some business to attend to here."

Dosu looked at Naruto for a second before shaking his head knowing he could handle the situation as he walked over to Kin and Zaku and helped them up and began heading towards the tower. Once they were out of the area, flipped his blades to rest as he stretched out and as he didn't want to kill any of them. Soon as he finished stretching, he slid into his battle ready stance as a grin graced his lips. "Finally, a decent work out. Hopefully none of you will disappoint me. Especially you Uchiha, I've been waiting for a chance to see what you can do."

Sasuke narrowed his eyes at this as he slowly slid into the Uchiha's basic stance when he heard Neji snort and step forward. He narrowed his eyes further as he didn't want to be interrupted, but let him do so as Naruto just seemed amused. "Do you honestly think you can beat all of us? You may be the Yondaime's son, but you are nothing compared to us or him."

Naruto's coy grin never left his face as he turned towards the branch house prodigy and tilted his head towards him. "You're right, I'm nothing compared to tou-san." Neji looked slightly surprised as he didn't expect Naruto to admit it. Naruto's grin widened even further seeing this before his face turned deadly serious. "I'm even stronger then him."

Before Neji could look further surprised Naruto was on him and landed a somersault kick to his chin, sending the Hyuuga prodigy levitating into the air. Naruto quickly flipped in mid air and thrusted his palm into Neji's chest sending him flying into the bushes faster then anyone except for Naruto could see. As the others slowly caught what happened, Naruto's coy grin returned in full force as he returned to his battle ready stance. "Now, shall we begin?"

Lee not being one to say no to a challenge quickly rushed towards Naruto. Naruto quickly ducked under and sweep kicked him before gripping his leg and throwing him at Shikamaru, who had tried to use his clan's special technique on him. The lazy genius didn't have the time to dodge and took the full force of Lee crashing into him. Chouji jumped forward using his Bubun Baiki no Jutsu and grabbed Naruto as he jumped back up as Ino went through the hand seals for Shintenshin. Naruto purposely allowed her to finish the seals and used his Aura Vision to track her soul heading for his.

Seeing the slow movement of her soul, Naruto mentally sighed as he easily broke free of Chouji's grip before gripping his elongated arms and using him as a bat as he smashed the paint tiger heading towards him before throwing Chouji into the young root Anbu. Turning around, he noted that Ino's soul was near him and jumped up to avoid it when a barrage of kunai, shuriken, senbon and other weapons he couldn't name rained down on him from every single direction. A small smirk graced his lips as he noted Tenten had thrown each of them at him and had attached wires to them. Even though the weapons wouldn't hurt him all too much, he wasn't going to humor her into thinking she could hit him.

As the weapons were about to make contact, he disappeared in a flash of red and black light and appeared directly behind the stunned weapons mistress. With a quick chop to the neck, she was out of the battle. Naruto back flipped over the charging Sasuke making the Uchiha stumble before he quickly turned around only to meet a foot to his face courtesy of Naruto. Not having a second to rest, Naruto bent backwards as he dodged Lee's fist before grabbing it and slamming the weighted taijutsu user down on top of Sasuke like a hammer.

Naruto spun around and backhanded Neji as he reappeared onto the battle field and sent him stumbling back. Naruto was about to charge and take him out of the fight right then and there when he barely avoided a fist that connected to the tree right besides him and snapped it like a twig. Back flipping a few times, Naruto looked mildly stunned that it was Sakura that had thrown the punch before narrowing his eyes as he knew that technique belong to Tsunade meaning the council managed to get the secret on how to use it out of her, or possibly Shizune as the latter was easier to bully around.

Before he could think on it further, he tried to move but found himself unable to. Looking down he noticed a shadow holding him down as Shikamaru forming a rat seal. He narrowed his eyes lightly at this before he noticed Chouji using Baika no Jutsu and began rolling towards him like a steam truck. Just like with Tenten, Naruto wasn't going to humor them as with a quick blast of youki he had broken free of Shikamaru's shadow, sending the shadow user stumbling back before bring his fist back and slamming it into Chouji's spinning form. The large shinobi never stood a chance as he was rocketed back and rammed into awakening Ino, taking both out of the fight as they slammed into a tree.

Once again he quickly spun around and grabbed both Sakura's and Lee's fist before moving with unreal speed as he kicked them in the stomachs and used them as platforms to jump over Neji and Sasuke. As he landed behind them, he chopped Neji's neck taking him out of the battle before backing handing Sasuke into a tree, putting him in a daze. Taking a quick look around, Naruto disappeared before reappearing in front of Sai as he had almost finished painting what seemed to be the Yondaime. With a quick flip of his one of his blades, he sliced the notebook in half before he struck the painter in his face with a well aimed palm strike, putting him down for the count.

Quickly grabbing a few of the stray kunai from Tenten's earlier barrage, he threw them towards Shikamaru and caught him by the clothes and pinned him to a tree. He quickly appeared in front of him and delivered a strong punch to the gut taking the lazy genius out of the fight. Turning around, he noticed both Lee and Sakura charging him from direct angles. Having enough with Sakura's super strength, Naruto flashed in front of her and landed two palms strikes to her lungs making her double over in pain. With a quick strike to the back of her head, she was out like a light leaving only Lee and Sasuke as the only combatants left.

The two really didn't look to eager to continue fighting as Naruto didn't even look tired and he had successfully knocked the other seven out without taking any damage. Looking at each other, the two nodded as they slid into their stances and waited for Naruto to make the next move seeing as they had been the aggressors for most of the fight.

Naruto grinned seeing this before he finally noticed Sasuke's fully developed Sharingan. He made a mental note to tell Itachi of this before he flashed behind the two of them much to their surprised. With a mere tap to his shoulder, Naruto had put Lee to sleep before turning to Sasuke. "Well, as much fun as this has been. I best be off." With that said, Naruto turned around and began walking away. Sasuke gritted his teeth at this not liking the fact that he had just been brushed aside like he was nothing and would have charged Naruto when the said boy spoke. "Sasuke, your brother would be proud of you."

Sasuke's eyes widened hearing this before all the air rushed out his lungs. Looking down, his eyes widened to see Naruto removing his fist from his stomach. His eyes rolled into the back of his head as they returned to their normal state as he crumpled to the ground, out cold.

Shaking his head lightly, Naruto turned back around and headed towards the Oto team so he could lead them to the tower.
