Chapter 45: In the Exams part 2.

( Exam Room)

Naruto, Yugito and Fu entered the actual Exam room having known it was genjutsu. As they entered they saw many teams notice their arrival.

"Who are they?" Asked Tenten noticing Naruto and both Dark Elf Jinchuriki. Along with noticing the Whirlpool insignia that has a kanji for Dark Elf.

"Beats me... but the red head looks handsome!" Says Ino with Shikamaru sighing and muttered "Troublesome" as Choji didn't seem all that interested.

Lee took notice in them along with a Hyuuga Boy who has a cold expression at them.

"Who the hell are they?" Asked Kiba with his pup resting on his head. While Shino showed no reaction to them. Hinata Focused on the red head.

Gaara and his siblings noticed Yoriichi and his team.

Team 7 glared at Yoriichi and his teammates.

Even the Sound Team noticed the arrival of the Dark Elf Uzu empire.

A Grass nin also eyed the Dark Elf Uzu empire. But focused solely on Naruto.

Naruto saw other teams from other hidden villages that had gotten there before them, and the various trios of teams looked pretty strong. He saw a bunch of Mist, Grass, and even Iwa of all Shinobi teams to show up to this event.

Yugito is somewhat Glad that Kumo isn't in this year's Chunin exams. The last thing she needed was for her village to find her and bring her back.

"Hello! Who are you guys!?" Asked Ino who walked towards them.

"Greetings. My name is Yoriichi Hayabusa Uzumaki. And these two are my teammates Yugito and Fu." Naruto introduced

"Nice name Yoriichi. The name is Ino Yamanaka and those guys over there are my teammates. The dark haired lazy ass is Shikamaru and the F- I mean big boy besides him is Choji." Ino says nearly slipped at calling Choji the "F Word".

"A pleasure meeting you." Yoriichi says as he noticed Tenten and Hinata along with Lee come there way.

"Yoriichi was it? Care to tell me where you guys come from? That insignia on your forehead projectors almost looks like ours that the Jonins wear on their flak jackets or vests." Says Tenten while also looking at the sword Yoriichi has. While Naruto frowned.

"We are from a village called uzushiogakure." Naruto replied with others looking confused except for the grass nin who widened eyes.

"Never heard of that village before is it new?" Ino says

"Let's just say it's been revived." Yoriichi says.

"Say... You wouldn't happen to be related to Uzumaki Shredder?" says Tenten as she had heard of team 7's mission to wave

"I am his cousin." Yoriichi lied since no one but his teammates and Itachi knew of hid identity as Uzumaki Shredder

"That sword. What is it?" Tenten couldn't help but ask

"This Sword has belonged to my Clan in generations... This is a family heirloom." Yoriichi answers as Hinata looked at him along with the rest.

Sasuke scowled of course.

"Why are you all talking with him. He is an enemy!" says Sasuke with Sakura agreeing.

"Why do these chicks have long ears?" says Kiba as he looked at Yugito and Fu. While looking at their asses. Yugito who noticed this made a hissing sound of a cat that made everyone jump back slightly.

"I suggest you keep your eyes elsewhere dog boy." Yugito hissed with him flinching.

"Hey keep it down will you." says a boy with white hair and wore glasses.

"And who are you?" asked Yoriichi

"My name is Kabuyo Yakushi." the boy answered.

"And you are in the exams?" asked Sakura

"Possibly considering this isn't my first run through the Chuunin Exams," said the boy in return before pushing his glasses up.

"Is this you second or third shot?" said Sasuke wondering if he could get some needed info off of this kid before him to advance through these Exams.

"My seventh actually," said the silver white haired boy sounding embarrassed, but Naruto could tell he wasn't, and it made him suspicious of the boy.

"So you suck." says Kiba

"that may have been the case before, but not this year with all the info I've gathered over the previous tries," said Kabuto reaching into his pouch and producing info cards.

Which made Sasuke interested.

"You have Info you say?" Sasuke asks with Kabuto nodding.

"Yes. pick a card out of this deck and it will give you the stats with info on the individual in question. Do I have any takers?" said Kabuto knowing that any one worth their headband that was around them would want info on the competition.

"I want information on Yoriichi Hayabusa Uzumaki." Sasuke says glaring at Yoriichi

"So you know his name. Well let's see here." kabuto says pulling out the card hoping to fish any information on Yoriichi

He looked at the card only to expect info on the card but the card remained blank.

"What? That has never happened before?" Kabuto thought as he looked at Yoriichi who gave him a cold look that sent a shiver down his spine.

"Well?" Sasuke asked impatiently.

"Sorry to disappoint you. It seems Yoriichi's powers and skills are unknown" Kabuto answered with Sasuke scowling.

"That's bullshit! And I know it!" Thought Sasuke glaring at Kabuto then at Yoriichi.

"Make no mistake Uzumaki! I will find out how strong you are and defeat you in these exams!"He snarled in thought.

Yoriichi and his teammates were relieved that his powers weren't discovered or known. And the reason for that is because Naruto hasn't done any activities in the elemental nations for awhile. The only activity he has done was taking team 7's mission in wave.

Had he gone under his Uzumaki Shredder persona then maybe everyone would know his skills and abilities and how much of a threat he is. And because he's under a new identity no one knows his skills and abilities.

"Alright you maggots! Shut up and let's get started!" yelled a man wearing a black bandana, black trench coat, and basically black clothing in general with scars all over his body.

"My name is Morino Ibiki and I'm the Examiner for this part of the Chuunin Exams. So sit down, shut up, and prepare to enter a world of hell," said Ibiki making several Genin gulp, a few shake, and several individuals smirked at the thought of this being compared to it.

"And so it begins." Yoriichi says to himself.

For a Hour they did the writing test and passed. Now pleased that they can advance. Their success was interrupted when a explosion happened and looked to see a Banner and a purple haired woman wearing a trench coat.

"Alright brats! Get ready for the next part of the exam with the sexy dangerous Anko!" Anko says with many sweat dropping.

"Anko... your early." Says Ibiki. As the woman looked around

"Sorry. Bad habit. Ok you big babies to the next exam or I will summon my snake friends to play with you," said Anko making almost everyone nervous at that since the larger snake summons could devour people whole.

( Forest of death)

"All right you bakas listen up! Right now you're outside what we like to call around here the 'Forest of Death', which you guys will have to run through in order to get any kind of reprieve, and trust me this place lives up to its name," said Anko grinning at the large group of Genin before her and saw Naruto with his group with a determined look on his face.

"Survival of the fittest," said Naruto grinning with his team in complete agreement.

"That's right gaki. Each team will have a scroll. One scroll could be Earth or it could be Heaven. The objective is to find the team with the opposite scroll you have and then get to the center of the Forest of Death where a large tower is set up for you. You will have 5 days to reach that destination before your team or what's left of it becomes disqualified from the exams. I'm giving you these release forms for each member of your team to sign so I don't get held accountable or the Leaf for that matter if you die," said Anko handing out the release forms to each of the Genins.

It wasn't long before the release forms were signed, the scrolls handed out to each team, and the race for survival was on with the end result being half or less of the current teams starting the exam...finishing it.

"Alright. Let's move." Naruto says as Yugito and Fu nodded and went into the forest.

As they made their way through the Forest of Death in an attempt to make it to the center tower like everyone else was now that they had what they needed to qualify. However, as they ran they came across a blast of killing intent that made them freeze for a good 10 seconds, as it was beyond anything they had ever felt before that was clearly not that of a Genin level Shinobi, and it meant one thing to Naruto.

That someone is clearly Jonin level or higher...

"What is this killer intent?" Asked Fu.

While Naruto inhaled the scent in the air. It smells of Snakes. Yes Anko smelled of Snakes but this one also has the scent of blood on this person.

"Let's go." Naruto says as he dashed off towards that location.

( With Orochimaru)

Having revealed himself to team 7 and marked Sasuke Uchiha with his curse seal. Along with defeating his former Student who still glares at him with defiance

"I will kill you! You bastard!" Anko hissed getting up off the ground as Orochimaru had a look of amusement.

"You can try Anko-Chan. But you will never defeat me. I may have taught you well in my Snake arts. But I didn't teach you everything now did I? You are still the learner while I remain the Master!" Orochimaru says grinning.

"I will kill you! If it's the last thing I do!" She says struggling to stand and pulled out another kunai. But he simply knocked it out of her hand and kicked her knocking her on the ground as he brought out Kusanagi.

"It's a shame that I have to say goodbye to you Anko-Chan. Ready to go to hell?" Orochimaru says ready to stab his former student.

She spat in his face.

"Fuck you!" She cursed

"Very well." He prepared to stab her. Only for another sword to intervene with his. And push him back.

"You?" Orochimaru says glancing at Yoriichi who came at her rescue.

Anko looked up seeing Yoriichi along with his teammates.

"Take them out of here." Yoriichi says as Both Fu and Yugito looked ready to protest but knew better. They had faith in their husband that he could hold his own against one of the Sannin.

"Ah... the Uzumaki. Yoriichi was it? Strange... I thought all the Uzumaki's had perished. Guess they have missed one." Orochimaru Mused

"That's where you are wrong." Yoriichi says glaring at Orochimaru.

"How amusing. You'll be easy to snuff out!" Orochimaru says opening his mouth unleashing a snake with a sword in its mouth sending it at Yoriichi who simply sliced the snake in half.

Orochimaru dodged and avoided Yoriichi's sword slashes and blows and jumped backwards and sent multiple snake swarms at Yoriichi. Yoriichi began to breath.

"Sun breathing form: Burning Bones summer sun!Yoriichi says unleashing a circular wave of fire at the snake swarm incinerating them on the Spot with Orochimaru looking Shocked.

"That sword.. he holds... it's not normal." He thought as he saw Yoriichi charge at him as the Snake Sannin brought up his defense and blocked whatever sword blow Yoriichi may use against him.

Both swords locked into a deadlock as they glance at each other.

Sparks ignited as they Broke apart and exchanged blows at one another with each countering blows.

"He's good... I'll give him that. But not good enough!" Orochimaru thought opening his mouth to send a snake at Yoriichi as the snake opened up its mouth and unleashed a blade. Yoriichi evaded it and backed away.

Orochimaru grinned.

"You are strong. Uzumaki. Maybe stronger than Sasuke. Perhaps I should give you a gift too." Orochimaru says with a wide grin.

"I don't want your gift." Yoriichi replied.

"Oh trust. You'll like it!" Orochimaru says now extending his neck and goes to bite Yoriichi's neck.

Yoriichi frowned as he began to breath again and does a backflip in the air avoiding Orochimaru's bite

"Sun breathing: Setting Sun Transformation!" His sword ignited in sun fire and did a forward slash at Orochimaru's neck Beheading him.

He glanced at the decapitated body of Orochimaru that turned into mud.

"A clone made of mud?" Thought Naruto now looking around for Orochimaru.

A blade out of nowhere impaled Naruto through his left shoulder. As he grunted in pain

"I got you now. Uzumaki. Now you will be my next Vessel. You are strong." He grinned as extended his neck and bit Naruto on the Neck who grunted again feeling the bite mark.

"Damn him!" Thought Naruto as he punched Orochimaru off him. As he clutched his neck and fell on one knee.

Orochimaru felt his mouth burn for some reason and his fangs shattered as he glanced at Yoriichi who was on one knee he frowned why was his curse seal not working on the boy?

( With Origashaku-sama)

She was currently in the middle of something. As she suddenly felt a disturbance.

"Something is wrong... Naru-kun is in danger?" She thought hoping that wasn't the case. Wondering who dares harms her husband and soulmate. She needs to make contact with Itachi now to find out!

( Back with Naruto)

Yoriichi grunting as he is resisting the curse seal and glared harshly at Orochimaru.

"How is this possible..? How are you resisting my curse seal?!" Orochimaru says angrily

Yoriichi began to stand up and glare at Orochimaru as he breathed again.

"Sun breathing form: beneficent radiance!" Yoriichi spirals into the air so fast that Orochimaru couldn't track it as he delivered a powerful burning slash that surrounds Orochimaru as Orochimaru screamed in pain as he was set on fire Yoriichi turns around and noticed Orochimaru also lost two arms and was actually on fire.

"ARRGHHH!!! IT BURNS! IT BURNS! AAAAHHHH!!!" The snake Sannin screamed as he kept burning and looked at Yoriichi in absolute fear. Which is something he had never felt before.

Yoriichi prepared to breath again to attempt to finish Orochimaru once and for all. But suddenly he coughed blood. Orochimaru saw this as his chance to escape. As he ran away still set on fire.. these flames that's still burning him felt like the very sun itself!

He ran and ran out of Yoriichi's sight and to go find a pond to get the flames off him.

This brat scares him. And he has underestimated him! Now he will have to get another body! Asap before this one dies out!

Yoriichi felt tired... as he sheathed his sword and went to go find his teammates.

( Later on)

He had found his team.

"There you are we have been looking for you!" Yugito says as she came and then looked shocked seeing his haggard state.

"Yoriichi-kun!" Fu says running to him.

"You're hurt!" Yugito says noticing the wound on his shoulder.

"I'm fine... don't worry about it..." he suddenly collapsed...

"Yoriichi-kun!!" Both Yugito and Fu says seeing him fall but caught him

Anko who also rested woke up And heard the two.

"What happened to Orochimaru Yoriichi-kun?" Asked Yugito now wanting to finish the job.

"He got away... but don't worry.. I've crippled him..." Yoriichi says as he passed out shocking the two.

Anko looked in disbelief.

"He did what!?" She says in shock no one was able to handle Orochimaru like that! Not even the Sandaime and Jiraiya!
