I DON'T OWN NARUTO IF I DID KAKASHI WOULD HAVE KEPT HIS SHARINGAN
Last time on 'A Child of Legends'
"They really are an exceptional bunch"
Anko then looks over as them "I don't see it. Well follow me".
As they follow they reach a forest, Anko begins to speak "Welcome to Training Ground 44, also known as the Forest of Death".
This time on 'A Child of Legends'
Anko then continues to speak "Be prepared, because you're about to find out firsthand why they call this the Forest of Death"
Kiba laughs, mocking Anko "Ooo, you're about to find out firsthand why they call this the Forest of Death". He then continues to speaks "You think this is supposed to scare us"
Anko then laughs, before throwing a kunai at Kiba, grazing him. She begins to speak "Cocky ones like you are the ones who die first. Not to mention spilling all this warm red lovely blood of yours". She says as she licks his wound
Suddenly a kunoichi of Kusagakure comes up behind, holding a kunai with an extremely long tongue. She begins to speak "You dropped your kunai"
"Thanks, but don't stand behind me, that's a quick way to die".
"I'll try but the sight of fresh blood gets me excited, not to mention getting revved up from losing a strand of my precious hair".
Then Anko begins to step up and speak "Alright, who is the gaki that made so many of you pass"
Naruto steps forward, as Anko begins to look at him. "Oh you it's you Gaki. If I knew you'd cause so much trouble I should've ended you back at the Dango place"
Naruto and Anko both laugh, while everyone else looks at them like their insane.
Anko then pulls out forms "Now I need you to sign these forms saying Konoha isn't responsible for any injuries, deaths or anything else once you enter the forest of death. If you don't sign you aren't legally allowed to continue. You don't want me to get in trouble".
Shikamaru then speaks "This is bothersome. Do you expect us to sign this form before we know what the test is".
Anko pulls out two scrolls, one white that has kanji for heaven and one black that has the kanji for earth. She then begins to speak "Each team will start with one of these two scrolls and you must get to a tower in the center of this training field". She begins to hold up a map "As you can see you'll start of in one of the forty-four gates, the tower is approximately 10km away and a river splits the forest in two. You will have five days to finish the test. Does anyone else have any questions".
Choji begins to ask "Five days, what do we do for food"
"This forest has plenty of resource for you to eat, of course there are all ones that will eat you but don't worry" Anko says, non reassuringly.
Naruto then asked "Are there any rules".
"Oh yes, there are two rules. Rule 1: If one of your teammates is dead, or injured to the point they can't continue you'll be disqualified. Rule 2: When in the forest you can't open your scroll/scrolls. If you want to know what happens then open the scroll/scrolls yourself"
Naruto then asks another question "Is there a limit to the scrolls you take".
"You can take as many scrolls as you like, just as long as you follow the second rule". As Anko looks around, she begins to speak once more, "Since you have no more questions please form an orderly line with your team". After each team fills out their form they go behind a certain to receive their scroll.
As Team 7 go to their point, they begin to discuss who should get hold their Scroll of Heaven'.
Sasuke then begins to speak "As the strongest of the three of us it's only logical I should guard our scroll"
Sakura also talks "Yeah Sasuke-kun should be the one who guards our scroll".
Naruto sighs "I don't want to argue right now teme, just guard the scroll".
As the gates begin to open, the teams run out. After 5-10 minutes passes Team 7 decide to stop and access their situation. As they stop, Naruto begins to speak "I've got to take a leak" as he goes behind a few trees".
As Naruto walks away, three Ame genin, all having brown spiky hair wearing a yellow jumpsuits, gas masks and sashes around their head. One of them begin to speak "So he beat Aoi-sensei. I guess we should thank him since he betrayed us".
As the genin begin to run towards Naruto, they here a laugh, they turn to see a second Naruto as he speaks "Bunshin Daibakuha (Great Clone Explosion). As Naruto jumps down, he sees one of the three genin barely survived by usings his teammates to shield himself. Naruto then draws his katana, slicing the genin in two, as he grabs their scroll and walks back.
As Naruto returns, Sakura looks at him "What did you do Naru-Baka, we heard the explosion"
Naruto begins to talk "I got us another scroll. Unfortunately it's another Scroll of Heaven. In order to save time we should split up, I'll search the left, you two search the right", Naruto then begins to run off. After around fifteen minutes of scouting Naruto finds nothing. As he turns to head back, he quickly dodges as a large snake appears out of nowhere.
As Naruto jumps out of the way, pulling out his katana and running electricity down it "Chidori Nagashi (Chidori Current)". As Naruto runs towards the snake, slicing it in half. As Naruto looks at the snake's corpse he sees the skeletons of a team with a Scroll of Heaven. As Naruto picks it up, he begins to panic "Orochimaru must be planning something, I remember that Mizuki took interest with Sasuke, that means he's after him.
Sakura begins to panic, Sasuke was trying to fight of the mysterious man that attacked them. However he seemed to be on a completely different level and was able to beat Sasuke, leaving a mark in his neck. As the man lunges with a kunai towards Sakura, a flash appears in front of him, and Naruto appears blocking with his katana, and begins to speak "Sakura take Sasuke and run".
Sakura looks at him "If h-he can beat S-sasuke-kun so e-easily, you c-can't b-beat him. P-please come with u-us N-naruto, you'll d-die.
Naruto jumps back, before responding "I promise that I'll survive, just run. It's either all of us die, or I try to beat him".
Sakura only nods, grabbing Sasuke and running away as she thinks "Please Naruto, just be ok"
Naruto begins to talk "I wouldn't expect you to be coming out so soon Orochimaru"
He begins to laugh "Well Naruto-kun, I thought I'd give Sasuke-kun a little gift. Looks like I'll get a personal chance to repay you for what you did to Aoi".
Naruto laughs "Are you sure you want to, you can still try to escape. To be able to sneak in you'd have to supress your chakra, you can't reach your full potential."
"Please, Aoi was nowhere near strong, without his Raijin no Ken he'd be around chunin level. Even in this weaker state I am still strong enough to beat him"
"If this is what you want". Naruto only smirks "Whatever Jutsu 2.0". Naruto begins to through most of his tools around. As kunai, shuriken and senbon begin to fly at Orochimaru, who proceeds to dodge them all, smoke bombs begins to be thrown, creating a cloud of smoke in the area. As Orochimaru jumps up, avoiding the smoke he begins to think "I may have underestimated him, he was able to turn my former teammates failure into a working technique".
Suddenly, Naruto appears behind Orochimaru, and whispers "Amaterasu".
Instinctively Orochimaru dodges, barely avoiding the the flames.
Naruto begins to speak "You were the third person who gets to dance my Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan after my sensei and a certain hunter-nin"
Orochimaru begins to to think "He has the EMS, you could be useful in the future Naruto-kun". "Impressive Naruto-kun, if I didn't know of that jutsu I'd be dead. You might rival Itachi Uchiha one day"
"My eyes can do things Itachi can only dream of"
*Flashback brought to you by Itachi taking an eye exam*
"So honorable Naruto, we've tested your Mangekyō to see what your abilities are"
"Yes Zetsu, what are they"
"Well, it appears that Senju genes are working with your Uchiha genes to simulate Otsutsuki genes"
Naruto began to ask "Would that affect how my Mangekyō works"
"It provides three benefits: Firstly it allows you to use every technique of the Mangekyō instead of the limitation of one technique per eye, secondly it allows you to be insusceptible to genjutsu even something like the Tsukuyomi can't affect you and finally you can use your chakra to awaken the different stages of sharingan in others".
*Flash forward brought to you by Itachi with a seeing eye crow*
Orochimaru begins to form hand signs "Futon: Katon Daitoppa (Wind Release: Fire Great Breakthrough". A large tornado of fire then comes flying towards Naruto, who uses a Shunshin to appear behind Orochimaru, kicking him down into the smoke, where he hits an explosive tag, and his left hand gets impaled with a kunai.
As Orochimaru picks himself up, he looks at him "Kukukuku Naruto-kun, you're making me use some of my stronger techniques. As he goes to form hand signs he looks over to his left hand, being completely numb and motionless".
Naruto begins to laugh pulling out a vile and beginning to speak "I'm guessing you know what this is"
Orochimaru's eyes begin to widen as he realises what is in the vile.
Naruto continues to laugh "The best part that kunai got some of it in your bloodstream. Enjoy you last few minutes before the poison shuts down your heart".
Suddenly Orochimaru begins to regurgitate another version of himself, leaving his old body behind.
Naruto looks at him and begins to speak "Impressive, but maybe this will work. Mokuton Hijutsu: Jukai Kōtan (Wood Release Secret Technique: Nativity of a World of Trees)". Suddenly saplings begin to grow stronger, as the trees begins to try to whip and bind Orochimaru.
With this Orochimaru really begins to panic, he begins to think "Naruto has the Shodaime's legendary technique, even if I use my regeneration technique I'll still be attacked. I'll have to Kawarimi with one of my fake team. Suddenly Orochimaru is replaced with another fake Kusagakure shinobi, now bearing an Otogakure headband. Naruto then proceeds to use Amaterasu to kill the shinobi, before releasing his jutsu.
"So that was Orochimaru, pretty underwhelming if you ask me Kit."
"Yeah, but then again he was holding back"
"As so were you, but then again you are pretty much an honorary Bijuu with your skills"
As Naruto began to use his sensory skills he felt a dark presence. He begins to think "What is that, it couldn't be Zabuza or Orochimaru, it could only be Anko or….. Sasuke".
As Naruto rushes over, he sees a fight between a team of Oto nin, the same ones who attacked Kabuto and Sakura, Team 8, Team 10 and Team Gai and Sasuke, curse marked activated and a two tomoe sharingan attacking them both. As Naruto gets close, he draws his katana "Jinton: Sairento Jikkō (Swift Release: Silent Execution)". Slicing through one of the males, going for the other until the female pushes him out of the way.
As the other shinobi looks over in horror, he begins to speak "Kin, Zaku". He then rolls a Scroll of Earth over, and continues to speak "At this state I have no chance of beating you Uzumaki. I need to investigate something further, so I would like to call a truce for now. Please take this scroll, but next time w-I'll kill you".
"Before you leave Oto nin, I like to know the names of those I dance with
The Oto nin just walks away "It's Dosu, you should remember the name of your future executioner"
As Sasuke comes running towards Naruto, laughing maniacally "DOBE, ONCE I KILL YOU I SHALL BE ONE STEP CLOSER TO HIM".
Naruto then creates a large group of his chakra chains around him, pinning him down. Naruto then hits him over the head with his katana hilt, knocking him out.
As Sakura and Ino yell at Naruto, Shikamaru helps Choji up, Tenten helps Lee up, Hinata and Shino help Kiba up and Neji just watches.
Naruto then asks so what scrolls do you need, and Hinata, Shikamaru and Tenten say in sync "The Scroll of Heaven".
Naruto justs laughs, it's your lucky day. Naruto proceeds to though on to Hinata "Got this from some Ame nin", another one to Shikamaru "This one from some skeletons" and a final one to Tenten "and this one from a certain snake". Naruto then pulls Sasuke on him back, grabs Sakura and uses his Jinton: Shin Hiraishin no Jutsu (Swift Release: New Flying God Thunder Technique) teleporting them in front of the tower.
As Naruto and Sakura enter the tower, no-one is there except for a large hung quote of the Sandaime, which reads
"If qualities of Heaven
are your desire,
Acquire wisdom and
knowledge to take your mind higher.
If Earthly qualities are what you lack,
Train your bodies in the field and prepare
to attack.
When both Heaven and Earth
are opened together,
The path of peril will
revert to the righteous path forever.
This " " is the secret way…
...that guides us on from this
place today"
Sakura then looks at it confused, as she begins to speak "What does it mean"
Naruto then speaks "It means we should open the scrolls
"But Anko said we couldn't"
"Anko said we couldn't open the scrolls inside the forest. We're no longer in the forest, we're in the tower".
Then a voice, coming from Naruto's back begins to speak "The dobes right, we should open the scrolls".
"Hey teme, you think you can stand"
"I should be able to dobe".
Naruto then helps Sasuke stand up, making sure he's stable.
Naruto then throws the Scroll of Earth to Sakura. He then speaks "Alright, on 3, 2, 1". They both simultaneously open scrolls at the same time, to see Kakashi appearing. "Maa, you made it, I knew you could do it".
Sakura then asks "Kakashi-sensei, what does the blank space mean"
Kakashi responds "It means a person or people. Chunin are responsible for leading their teams, they can't fulfil this role without having both the traits of heaven/intelligence and earth/strength".
As Kakashi then opens a secret door, leading to a main room. As the three enter the room, Kakashi closes the behind them, separating them. As they walk through they reach a room, where the only other people in the room are the Three Sand Siblings, who stay on opposite sides. As time passes, only a few more enter: Yugito, Fuu's team, Team Gai, Team 10, an unknown Kumo team, Team 8, an unknown Iwa team and finally Kabuto's team.
Suddenly, appearing with a Shunshin a sickly looking ordinarily looking brown haired jonin with a sword strapped to his back appears, before the senseis, the other two proctors and the Hokage appear as well.
The man begins to speak, coughing a few times in his speech "Hello I'm Hayate Gekko, the proctor of the third stage. Now I would like to talk about an underlying message in these exams. Despite there being no major wars there is still instability. Along with achieving the rank, these exams are to fight for the honor of your village. However due to others putting in too many genin we'll have to host a preliminaries". Hayate then glares at Ibuki and Anko
Anko then begins to speak "What can I say, they really are an exceptional bunch". Ibiki then shoots Anko a smug expression, before looking like his normal, emotionless self".
"Now, to get the chunin rank you must pass the preliminaries, however if any of you feel the need to surrender please raise your hands".
Then, five ninjas proceed to raise their hands
