Chapter 1-A Sound problem
Flying in a north westerly direction towards the tower (at a dragging speed due to the 2 people weighing him down), the armored figure of Uzumaki Naruto was now looking for a spot to rest and recover, from his teams encounter and relieve his arms from their burdens. After 10 minutes of flying, Naruto finds a resting spot in a hollow of a tree that looks as though it was a redwood and begins to float down slowly.
Once his feet met the ground, Naruto walked into the trees hollow area and drop his cargo, then moved back so he could dispel the armor. Once dispelling, the armor then reformed behind and became translucent, before disappearing leaving Naruto in his high viz. orange jumpsuit, which he had to open the zip of the jacket, to accommodate his now broader chest and shoulders. After the armor was released and sent to the Bio-boost dimension, Naruto then walks to the opening of the hollow, where he punches the ground and thinking, 'Doton: Tsuchi-ryu Heki no Jutsu,(1)' to cause a wall of rock to be built, which then closes off the opening and left the hollow darkened.
Now in the dark, Naruto whom (after the many millions of times he had been left out at night) could see in a perfect pitch, rose his hand and began to make a writing gesture, making lines of light form into the different strains of kanji, that then interlocked and form a web of seals, 'Fuinjutsu: Sōhōkō mirā Fuin,' Naruto thought, as the kanji sealing web expanded out and covered the interior of the hollow. Once the kanji had been set in place, they then began to glow and expand, after the glow subsided, the tree looked as if it took the translucent appearance of viewing side of a 2 way mirror, so all of those inside could see out but those out couldn't see in.
After finishing the tasks of protection and surveillance, Naruto then worked on the basic needs of man: Food and Water, so using an advanced earth style chakra control, Naruto melted into the earthly floor and exited the hollow, where he then headed back to the a creak he had spotted a few minutes earlier. Making his way to the creaks edge was the easy part, fishing for any (well) fish was a little more challenging, but Naruto still be the cunning prankster he was, had found an effective method and after 2 minutes, we find him now using: Suiton: Tsuba hari on the jumping fish.
10 hours after Naruto had finished fishing, Sasuke and Sakura had regained consciousness as they could smell the aroma of Narutos cooking, and wanted to see where it was, when they found the smell they saw that it was coming fish being fried on a long slab of flat rock, which was over a large arrangement of white hot coals (A.N. the frying slab is made of a multitude of rock, all of which have different rate of heating, tempering and finally liquefaction [turns to lava]) which was providing heat to the cooking slab.
After 10 minutes of staring at the 'cooking stove', Sasuke and Sakura finally notices Naruto sitting off to the side with a makeshift chopping board, where he was cutting up some wild grown potatoes into fingers, which he was then shallow frying them in the oil from the grilling fish. As Naruto was checking on the Damper bread, which was cooking in his surprisingly fire proof jumpsuit Jacket, he heard the sound of stomachs growling and looked up to see his teammates staring at the food with a large amount of hunger. "Well, don't just sit there, serve yourselves there's plates over there," Naruto said as he points for carved wooden plates, as they then snap out of their trances and then pick a plate, before they used a kunai to lift a piece of fish, a serve of chips and slice of damper.
Tentatively taking their first bites, Sakura and Sasuke soon found their food to be of good quality (as they would never see Naruto as a good cook, before they then began to eat in earnest devouring all of their food and after they finished, they find that Naruto had also finished and was now sealing the leftovers into a food preservation seal, which he had then placed into his waistpack and started to kick dirt and soil onto the fire to extinguish the coals. As Naruto was completing his tasks, he was thinking about the encounter they had with Orochimaru and what happen to him, knowing that it would be an idea to inform the Hokage and seeing as Sasuke had given up their scroll, it was likely that they'd have to find and ambush another team just as they enter the central tower perimeter clearing, so he was preparing himself to tell them that.
Meanwhile in a branch of a nearby tree, 3 ninjas whom bore the headband symbol of a musical note, sat by waiting for the knowledge that the barrier jutsu they had crashed into to fall so they could then confront and kill Uchiha Sasuke as per the orders of their master and Otokage Orochimaru. Back in the barrier, Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura start to plan their attack, which they poured of a map of the forest (A.N. I have always thought that a map should have been issue out so those are competing in the exams, for obvious reasons) and seeing as it had half a day to get their shit together from their previous fight, but before they could move, night fell and an odd sense of exhaustion kick in and force the team to go to bed for the night.
Late that night, a large influx chakra woke up Naruto, Sakura and the sound, to see that the chakra was emanating from the last Uchiha, and the biggest spike had been centered on his neck area, where he was branded by: Orochimaru. Using the sensing ability he had again from his past life, Naruto found out that the chakra was an extremely corrupted from of senjutsu and it was corrosive to Sasuke mental state, after discovering this Naruto then turned to Sakura and found she had been frozen in pure horror, over what was happening to her love and that made Naruto see that she'll be useless, so he then began to create several Kage Bushins to guard the are while he could drop the barrier and put of his focus of seal the dark sage mode away.
Outside of the hollow, the 2 male members of the sound team dived into the area as soon as they felt the barrier go down, as they both ignore the cry of, "Zaku, Dosu wait," from their female teammate. Back on the ground area, where Naruto's clones had taken up guarding, as Dosu and Zaku appeared several away from themselves. 10 minutes after landing infront of the clones, Dosu and Zaku charged at thinking, 'These are just illusions, they pose no threat,' but the thought was shot lived as the clone on the left most side of the hollow, took a deep breathe and exhaled a 20 miles wide fall of golden red fire, that races towards the 2 sound genin. Switching with nearby logs, had saved Zaku and Dosu's life and then they went back offensive, now knowing that one of the clones was a Kage Bushin and this was when Zaku threw up his arms and commanded, "Saundo hakai no nami," firing off a burst stream of compressed air, towards the center left clone, only for the clone on the right of center to punch and caused a wall of obsidian black rock to rise from the earth, blocking the attack and the genins view of the targets.
After Narutos earth designated clone, blocked the incoming attack with: Doton: Kokuyōseki no kabe, all the other clones then jumped up the wall and moved into a flanking position, where they then fired off a Katon: Hihebi no Jutsu, futon: Kazekiri no Jutsu, Doton: Tsuchikiba no Jutsu and a Suiton: Teppodama, which disabled the 2 genin and caused them fall to the earth in a state of unconsciousness.
20 minutes later, found the arrival of the final and female member of the sound team to show herself. After show herself, she introduces herself as, "Tsuchi Kin," and then proceeded to explain why they had been following them, this of which got her on Sakura's bad side and the latter of which was about to wail on the former, before stepped between them, stopping them cold and said coldly, "Sakura, Kin is risking her own life in talking to us," before he looked around, sighed and continued with, "But this is not the place to speak, so I suggest we wait until we are infront of Hokage-Jiji, alright?" they both then nodded and then Naruto then sent his to pack up his teammate and then started to make a move to the tower.
