I do not own any thing from anyone in any way.
the newly formed team seven were standing outside the building where they would be talking there test for the chuin exams. The past week had a lot of changes Mira and Natsu were moved to the anbu with them becoming Tsunade's only two body guards. Naruto and Sasuke were now going out even thought Sakura tried her best to stop it before they walked into the building an anbu agent formed in front of them in a swirl of black leaves.
"Hello anbu demon" Sakura said not wanting blow Mira's cover.
"I just wanted to wish you good luck and Natsu sends his wish too"
"by the way where is Natsu sensei" Sakura asked.
"Well let's just say he was a little busy but you'll see him later" Mira said but if the three could see the demonic grin under her mask they would fear for there lives. Mira left as the three entered the building heading to the testing room. When they made it to the second floor there was a genjutsu on the whole floor. Sasuke noticed right away but Naruto fell for it. There where two chuin standing at the door used a transformation jutsu to pretend to be genin. They were stopping anyone who tried to enter. Naruto was going to comfort the two but Sasuke took his hand and took him to the next floor with Sakura close behind.
"what was that about" Naruto asked when they stopped in front of a door labeled three hundred.
"the whole floor was under a genjutsu you idiot" Sasuke all but yelled as he turned to enter the room. When they entered they saw that the room was full of ninja from different villages most where either from the leaf, sand, or rain. The thing Naruto took the most notice to was that everyone was give them the death stare.
"I would suggest you two stop holding hand began leaf ninjas is enough of a problem. But two member of two of the most powerful clans to ever live dating is not a good look for you" a young man said walking in behind them. Naruto quickly let go of Saskue's hand as he turned around to see shikamaru with his team.
"Sup shika" Naruto said waving to his old class mate.
"You do realize that if we have to fight everyone will come after you two right"
"That's the least of my problems I think there is another tail beast around here nine tails want shut up" Naruto whispered to Saskue before Saskue could respond they heard yells on the other end of the room. They turned to find a sound ninja getting ready to attack a ninja from the leaf faster than anyone could see Naruto vanished before reappearing in front of the sound ninja and with one swith movement Naruto move the in coming fist before bring the fist down into the ground before speaking for only him to hear.
" If you want to live through these exams I wouldn't attack anyone from the leaf understand" Naruto didn't give the ninja the chance to respond as he walked away rejoining his team with the leaf ninja he saved following close behind.
"Hey my names Kabuto. thanks for the save"
"Its no problem" Naruto said before Saskue pulled him to the side.
"What was that" Naruto starred at Saskue as if he had lost it.
"Don't play dum" Naruto sigh as he looked back to the ninja still giving him the death glare.
"that gauntlet on his hand used some kind of sound in that attack but I used my chakra cloak to block it" Saskue seemed to be pleased with the answer leaving Naruto to talk to the now know Kabuto.
"since you saved me is there any person you want to know about" Naruto took on a thinking pose but was hit in the head as Saskue answered for him.
"can you tell us about Natsu Dragneel, Guildart Clive, Naruto Uzumaki, Saskue Uchiha and that guy" Saskue said pointing to a sand ninja with red hair. Kabuto pulled out a stack of cards and flipped through them till he found the one he was looking for he placed in his hand before moving some chakra into the card.
"OK Natsu Dragneel he is said to be the strongest ninja since the first hokage. he trained under Guildarts and was made elite jounin straight out of the academy. something not seen since Itachi Uchiha. there is even a rumor that he not only has the Sharingan but the Rinnegan as well and if that not a enough to prove his strength he has control over all five element as well as future training under the lion sage. he is also the leafs second Jinchuuriki and maybe the sixth hokage" the group stared a look of surprise as he moved to the next card.
" Guildarts Clive is hands down one of the most destructive ninja to ever live. the jutsu he uses is called crush. its defense is almost as power as its offence. he leads a group of elite ninjas know the fairy guard. they are as stronger if not stronger then the anbu. its rank consent of Guildart Clive, Gray Fullbuster, Mirajane Strauss, Lucy Heartfilia, and Natsu Dragneel. they can be identified by the fairy mark on different parts of there body. there is much know about him other than that he is the first person to sign with the lion sage" Naruto nodded knowing that no one other than Natsu or the hokage knew much of his life.
"Naruto Uzumaki is one of the last living Uzumaki. he trained under Jiraiya of the sannin. he is the second Jinchuuriki of the leaf and son of..." before he could finish Naruto took the cards ripping them up before setting them on fire. before Kabuto could get angry an jounin walked in to the room have everyone sitting away from there team.
"i know we need to know about that sand ninja but if he knew who my parents are then he more of a threat the the sand ninja" Saskue gave a small nodd as he walked away from his boyfriend.
"my name is Ibiki Morino and i will be in charge of the first part of the exams. you have one hour to answer the nine questions in front of you. the last five minutes you will be give the tenth question now begin"
/forty minutes later\\
the test had made it the final minutes of the test and most of the ninjas where done but one. Naruto had all but lost it. Sasuke used his Sharingan to copy the movements of the other ninjas and Sakura probably knew the answer. he didn't want to be the reason there team fail. Sasuke would lose it if they didn't make it to the next part so he has to get the tenth question right. it had made it into the final five minutes of the test and Ibiki spoke up.
"before your are given the tenth question i have to tell you that if you are to get it wrong you will remain genuin for the rest of your life." the room remade quite for a few minutes Naruto and some other ninjas got up getting ready to leave before they could leave the room a aura of a light galaxy blue covered the room. before Naruto did the one thing he did best.
"since you gave us a question its only far we give one. why would even ask us that we are ninja every mission we go on could be our last so we going to learn if we haven't already learn that there no time to second guess your self and to use everything we have to reach our dream"
the room was silent once again as the ninjas who where getting ready to leave sat back down relieving that the words Naruto spoke where true. Ibiki held the same glare he held through out the test before a small smile married his face.
'that's the same thing Natsu said to me. this must be the brother he was talking about'
"because i want to see your resolve and it seem your is so stronger that even the ninja who don't even know you want to follow you but can you keep that resolve"
"you better believe it because when you take the red hot habanero and the yellow flash you get yourself a orange hokage."
'so he is there son' Ibiki thought as the window was smashed as two ninja came flying in. as the smoke cleared they saw a pure black banner with crimson red and galaxy blue words.
the leafs sexes plus the leafs strongest equals your worst nightmare
the group heard a dark chuck as they saw a pair of crimson red eyes.
"no way anyone but them" Naruto began to panic as Saskue too realized who was in the smoke. when it cleared they could see Natsu and Mira standing back to back.
"i am Natsu Dragneel and i will be in charge of the next part of the exams you all have five minutes to get to the forest if death" the leaf ninjas knew of the place and where told to say away from it. now they have to take their exams there what is Natsu thinking.
"you have three minutes left" Natsu and Mira vanished as the ninjas left the room. Naruto lazily walk to Saskue's side as Sakura ran to the door.
"what are you waiting for we need to go" Sakura said while Naruto talked to Saskue about Kabuto.
"Sakura you know we cant leave til Natsu gets there" Saskue said as Naruto garbed his hand as they walked to the door.
"OK it time to go place you hand my shoulder and we'll leave" Sakura waited a few moment before placing her hand on his shoulder as they vanished leaving only a stream of orange with small high lights of galaxy blue.
/outside of the forest of death\\
/Natsu POV\\
"Naruto should be right behind us the others may not know it but since i'm in charge of this round Naruto has the upper hand." the moment Natsu's feet touch he saw a beam of orange past by him. team seven was the to arrive as many other followed.
"and that's time" only two thirds of the ninjas had made it in time all the rest where Disqualified. another woman jumped from the trees as Natsu turned to speak with her.
"nice of you to finally show up Anko."
"what ever Natsu that five minutes timer wasn't apart of the plan" Anko said with announce clear in her voice.
"i know but thanks to my brothers big mouth we had to many teams"
"alright are we ready" Natsu nodd as he stepped forward getting the attention of all the ninjas present.
"for this part of the test each team will be given a scroll by these young lady's it will either be a heaven or earth scroll. you job is to find a team with the scroll opposite of you when you have both scroll head to the tower in the center of the forest and no matter what do not open your scroll. you have five days to complete or you will be Disqualified" with the wave of his hand the ninjas shoot off into the forest separate into there three man teams to come up with a plan.
/Naruto POV\\
"OK i have a bullet prof plan." Naruto said with his normal grin grin as Sakrua tried her best to out talk him.
"i don't think you should be captain i think it should be Saskue that means were going to use his plan"
"actually Naruto is going to be team caption so listen to his plan" Sakrua tensed under Saskue's glare as Naruto" began to speak.
"i going to send out a hundred clones with the scroll to draw out some with the earth scroll when they attack my clone will leave my thunder god seal and we will go there" Saskue nodded as he leaned up against a tree as Naruto made a hundred clones that flooded in to the forest with the scroll head out for all to see.
/thirty minutes later\\
Naruto had been meditating focusing his mind on where everyone of his clones were. Saskue was asleep with his head in Naruto's lap. after a few more minutes Naruto eyes shoot open as one of his clones was destroyed.
"alright its time to go." Sakrua ran over to Naruto side as Saskue activated his now fully evolved Sharingan ready for battle. the three vanished leaving the same stream of orange. in a tree a man stood watch as an almost snake like tongue pulled out a sword from his mouth.
"ill have fun with them" the ninja shoot off into the forest where team seven went to. in the matter of moments team seven where standing in the same spot Naruto's clone was earlier and where starring down the team with sand ninja Naruto faced before the exams started.
"oh how the gods have blessed me i get the chance to kill you" the ninja with the gauntlet hand said as he took off at a speed Naruto didn't think he had. Naruto quickly block the attack as his jacket sleave turned blue keeping what ever attack that came from the hole at bay. the moment Natsu ready his self to attack anther ninja sound ninja placed his palm in front of Naruto face as a burst of chakra shot out of the tube. the attack was inches away from Naruto before he vanished before appearing above the two grading there head before bring them down into the earth.
"Fox Style: Twin Fang" the two ninjas barely picked them selves up as Naruto and Saskue began to go through hand signs. the two each took a deep breath before launching there attacks.
"Fire Style: Grand Fire Ball Jutsu"
"Wind Style: Fox Kings Rage" Saskue shoot out a fire ball three times larger than him self as Naruto launched a wind attack that took on the shape of a foxes head. Saskue's attacks would have been almost impossible to escape but when Naruto's attack combined with it the flames turn into an unstoppable flaming fox head that easily scared the land for the next few years.
"you two over did it we didn't even get the scroll." Sakrua yell looking over the body of the heavy burn ninjas notice that they aimed the attack to hit there third team member.
"I took the scroll when I dodged the attack from the second ninja" Naruto said showing that they had both scrolls they need to pass. Naruto put the two scrolls into a storage scroll that used a blood seal to in sure that no one could use the scrolls to pass even if they could take it from them. unknown to them a ninja watched there entire fight waiting for his chance to strike.
'I cant fight them two at the same time even if I use a summon that wouldn't hold that Uzumaki brat for long. i should just mark the Uchiha and let him seek me out his self' a snake moved from the mans clothes as it moved down a the tree Saskue was leaning against the snake opened it mouth and bit down on Saskue's neck as he screamed out in pain Naruto pulled out a kunai pierced the snake with ease as Saskue fell to the ground as a mark formed on his neck.
"that wasn't a normal snake it was a summon and it did something to him we need to get to the tower now" nodded as Naruto picked Saskue up placing him on his back.
"lets go Sakrua i sent one of my clones to mark the tower when this test first began" Sakrua placed her hand on his shoulder as they vanished in a beam of orange. in the matter of minutes they where at the tower door that Naruto quickly kicked down. when they got inside they found a stone tablet telling them to open the scrolls. Naruto place Saskue on the ground as he pulled out the two scrolls before opening them in a poof of smoke Natsu appeared.
"I didn't expect any thing less from you three your the first... what happen to Saskue" Natsu asked as he made his way to where Saskue was.
"a snake bit him but I think it was a summon because it vanished after I could get it" Natsu quickly turned Saskue's head to see the bit only to find a seal on his neck.
"t-this cant be its a curse seal."
"Natsu whats wrong tell me whats going on"
"take Saskue to Kakashi and anbu demon should be with tell her to give word to lady hokage we have a code snake" before Naruto could ask any thing Natsu was gone in a swirl of energy.
it shouldn't take to long tell the Uchiha comes looking for more power so tell then i leave" the snake like man was on the edge of the forest when a crimson red energy attack rushed towards him. the man quickly dodge it before flashing through hand signs sending a huge fire ball towards his attacker. the attack was cut in half as Natsu brought his sword down on the man who was a earth clone. Natsu used his bigger blade to black an sword attack from the man from behind. the two broke apart before starring each other down.
" why are you hear...Orochimaru." the now named Orochimaru smiled before shooting at Natsu with his sword ready to strike. Natsu quickly blocked it before attacking with his second sword. Orochimaru used his body's momentum from his to move above Natsu's sword.
"does it really matter Dragneel" the snake man asked as he put more space between the two. Natsu grunted his teeth as he tried to come up with a way to get the snake sannin.
'there is no way i can bet him in this state i just hope grandma will get here in time.' Natsu was pulled from his thoughts when Orochimaru sent another fireball at Natsu who cut it in half.
"you.." Natsu's power rose as his eyes sifted into the sharingan as it continued to rise as he sent a galaxy blue and crimson red slashes.
"Getsuga Jujisho" the two attacks formed into a cross shape attack that raced to Orochimaru who began to go through hand signs. the sannin slammed his hands on to the ground. in a poof of smoke a snake appeared taking the full blow of the attack. as Natsu began to sink into the ground. the Dragneel quickly jumped out of the trap only to find five clones of the sannin standing around him.
"sorry Dragneel but i cant play any longer"the five clones said in unison before attacking Natsu. the young hybrid quickly end the clones only to find the troublesome snake was gone.
"this is going to be a problem." Natsu said out loud as he placed his swords in there places. when Tsunade came crashing into the ground creating a crater.
"its a little to late for that" Natsu face palmed as he began to make his way to the center of the forest.
"don't walk away from me Natsu tell me what happen" Tsunade yelled as he continue walk while shouting back.
"i need to go check on Saskue so you can read it in my report." before she could say anything else Natsu left in a swirl of energy.
"i am sick of you doing that. i know you can hear me" in the tower Natsu couldn't help but laugh as he made his way to where Saskue was.
"did you get him" Kakashi asked as he walked out of the room Saskue was in.
"the slippery snake got away. did you help Saskue."
"the best i could" Natsu walked to the door of Saskue's room to find Saskue in the bed sleep with Naruto laying next to him with his arms wrapped around Saskue holding him close.
"Naruto is taking it hard he hasn't left his side for a second"
"i know they have became a lot in the last week and there team is stronger thanks to it" kakishi nodded in agreement as the continue two walk.
"we have four days left can i leave it to you and Anko"
"sure commander dragon" anbu demon answer as she appeared in a swirl of black leaves.
"..but where are you going." she asked as Natsu ready his self to leave
"we have anther of my bothers little projects is close by and i need to go and handle it "
"you cant go alone take me with you" the anbu said as she grabbed his arm.
"don't worry i am taking Lucy and gray they both faced against a demon before" Natsu jumped out of a window and began to make his way to the main gate were Lucy and Gray was waiting.
'but some how this one is different' Natsu thought as his exited the forest and landed on a roof top.
'why is there no kind of chakra coming from him and then there a second on who just came out of no where who are these demons they have to be the strongest ones i have face.' he thought as he raced across the roof trying to leave the village as soon as possible before the two demon got to close to any village because he knew right know he couldn't face off with any of the five kage let alone there Jinchuuriki and there village ninjas. after five more minutes of running Natsu land in front of the village gate where gray and Lucy where waiting.
"what took you so long your almost thirty minutes late" gray said with a little angry in his voice
"well i ran into a snake..." Natsu said as he was interrupted by a familiar voice.
"Orochimaru was here in the village" the voice yell as Natsu turned around.
"nice of you to finally show up Naruto has been worried sick about you Jiraiya."
"where is he"
"he at the tower in the forest of death and he's with Saskue just so your not surprise when you get there" Jiraiya gave a questioning look to Natsu not really understanding what he was talking about.
"look i don't have time for this you have missed a lot Guildarts is always a little drunk but at least he's present in our life" Natsu said as little anger began to come from his voice. Jiraiya was about to say something when Natsu stopped him.
"before you give me that you where on a mission remember that Guildarts do just as much as you and then sum. i am tired of your lame excuses you better get your act together or ..." before Natsu could finished Guildarts appeared and placed his hand on Natsu's shoulder.
"Natsu don't say anything that you may regret. lets head out to the mission and talk about it when we return" Natsu gave a nodded and walked past Jiraiya through the gate heading for his mission with the other three members of fairy guard not to far behind.
