Jonin waiting Lounge
Kurenai sighed, sitting closer to Kakashi, drinking some tea while she sensed Asuma's glare on her as the room was filled with multiple jonins from different villages. Kurenai glanced at Kakashi, while to many, he seemed to be reading his perverted book. She could see that his gaze was somewhere else to be it was exactly darting between two people.
Her gaze felt shifted between them, one was a tall, dark-skinned skin muscular man with a Kumo forehead protector, sunglasses, and seven swords on his back. The person in question was seemingly writing on a notepad and muttering rhymes.
"Is something the matter, Kurenai?" asked Asuma, his eyes narrowing when he noticed her gaze, making his eyes narrow while Kakashi's eyes were shaken out of his thoughts. "It's nothing, I was just noticing Kakashi seemed to be focused on two people mind sharing," asked Kurenai as Kakashi put down his book, surprising Asuma, who hadn't noticed.
"He's no ordinary jonin sensei, his name is Killer Bee and the adopted younger brother of the Raikage, but also the jinchuriki of the eight tails," said Kakashi, shocking Kurenai and Asuma. "How do you know that?" asked Kurenai, looking cautiously at Killer Bee.
"My sensei fought them multiple times, and we managed to identify him," said Kakashi, looking at the other person. "The other is Kandachi, right-hand man to Hanzo of the salamander; if he's here, it's something to do with Naruto," said Kakashi, shocking Kurenai, who stood up surprised but quickly sat down.
"What do you mean by it has to do with Naruto?" asked Kurenai, maybe a bit harsher than she intended, looking at Kakashi, who smiled. "You probably know he's considered a threat to them," said Kakashi. "And you are OK WITH THAT?" almost yelled out the last part, Kurenai.
"Naruto can protect himself after all, I trained him myself and a few others, you being one," said Kakashi while Asuma took out a drag of his cigarette, looking defeated. He had wanted to mend his thing with Kurenai after he cheated, but he saw that Kurenai seemed to like someone else. Maybe it wasn't meant to be, but now his focus was on what could happen.
"They might try to do it in the second phase of the exams," He said, even though it hurt him deep down that another man took Kurenai, he knew he had fucked up maybe even more than ever. "We have to do something!" stated Kurenai, as she had no wish of seeing Naruto being killed, as she had grown quite fond of Naruto, maybe she was still denying she had already fallen in love with him.
"Damn...things look pretty bad for the kid," said Asuma as he puffed smoke out from his cigarette, "But things are worse for him," said Asuma. "How so?" asked Kurenai, already nervous for Naruto's safety. "Well, I heard that this year the first examiner is Morine Ibiki." he dropped the bomb.
"That Sadist...? Well, it seems things will indeed be difficult for the kids." Kakashi said, frowning."Sadist, what do you mean? Who is Ibiki?" asked Kurenai, as she had not heard of the man.
"I'm not surprised that you have not heard of him, Kurenai, since you just got promoted to Jonin after all," commented Asuma. "Ibiki is an expert in the Human psyche, where he can easily find your smallest weakness and get inside your head and break you, and make up give up. He is also the head of the Torture and Interrogation division, making him good at what he does."
At hearing this, Kurenai became worried for her student and frowned slightly at the news, "So what should we do?" she asked. "The only thing we can do..." Kakashi said, "...wait and believe that we've trained them well enough and that they can get through this test."
Testing room
The tension that could be felt in the atmosphere of room 307 was so thick it could be cut with a knife; at first glance, one could tell the shinobi were conducting a simple examination.
"You guys, back off," Ibiki said to a group of genins who looked at him in astonishment.
"But why?" one of them asked, while Ibiki simply looked at them.
"They were caught 5 times outside the exam" before any of them could say anything. Ibiki simply released a bit of killer instinct, which made them shut up, and without saying anything, the group left the place while Ibiki took out a small book and began to read it.
' Wow, Ibiki-san, he's having fun,' said Naruto, who was finishing writing his exam, while he watched another group of genins being eliminated. He saw how the rest of the rookies were managing to get the test questions. Some of them took a while, the blonde thought.
He said as he activated his mixture of Sharingan and Jigan and opened his eyes slightly, and watched as Ino used her body switching technique on different subjects and copied their answers and passed them on to her classmates.
Kiba was being helped by Akamaru, who was on his head, while Shino used some flies to get the answers, while Sakura, Temari, and Karin seemed to be able to answer their questions themselves.
Gaara had created a sand eye, which he sent to travel around the entire room, and Kankuro used one of his puppets to go to the bathroom and avoid Gaara's eye being detected. Both Sasuke, Neji, and Hinata had their Doujutsus activated.
While the sound team seemed to be using Morse code to transmit the answers, Kumo's team identified the sounds in Morse code and began copying them, while Kurotsuchi was using the vibrations that occurred in the tables while people were writing.
As Ibiki and the Jonins would be surprised to catch people trying to cheat by calling out teams that failed. "Hey brat!" Naruto simply looked up to see that Ibiki himself was standing in front of him. "Why aren't you answering the exam?" asked the head of I&T, seeing how the jinchuriki was calmer than the rest of the genins.
Naruto simply looked at the man for a moment and then smiled. "It's just that I finished my exam and I thought I'd kill some time," Naruto said while the head of I&T simply approached the red-haired genin with clear doubts on his face.
"Yeah, right," Ibiki said as he read the exam, and for half a second, his eyes opened and looked at the Hanyou who was smiling back.
Then Ibiki looked at the jonins and chunins stationed around the room, and they shook their heads. Ibiki just sighed and took the exam. "Just don't make too much noise," was all the head of I&T said as I returned to his place.
Almost the entire room looked in amazement at the blonde of the leaf, while Naruto took out a book and began reading. ' Thanks to my shadow soldier's ' Naruto thought as Mizuki's eyes glowed from the shadow of his paper, allowing him to move through the shadows and get him the information.
An hour later
"Pencils down!!" Ibiki shouted as all the aspiring genins stopped writing and looked at the instructor, who stood in front. "It's time for the last question," Ibiki said with a grim smile on his face.
"But this question has its own rules," Ibiki said while some of the genin complained slightly for more rules. "Do you have a problem, idiots!" he said while releasing a strong killing intent that fell on everyone in the room.
They said as the genin teams grouped with their teammates. "Well, if you can answer this question correctly, you'll be able to move on to the next phase," Ibiki said calmly. "But, those who answer incorrectly will be disqualified and will be marked as unfit to rise to the rank of Chunin, so you'll be Genins for the rest of your pathetic lives," Ibiki said.
"That's not fair," said a Leaf genin. "You can't do that," said one of the mysterious Ame genin. "You don't have the authority to do that," said a Grass genin.
"Others had already taken the exam in other years and are here," said an Iwa genin, while banging on the table, and many other genins shouted their thoughts.
"SILENCE!!" Ibiki shouted, unleashing some killer instinct, silencing everyone present, some of whom couldn't breathe. "Life isn't fair, and it's bad luck that you've been dealt me," Ibiki said with a creepy smile worthy of a torture master.
"This answer will only affect the one who quit and not the entire team, but to have the slightest chance of surviving the next test, it's essential that the entire team be together," Ibiki concluded.
"I don't care what you two do. If you want to leave, I can handle everyone by myself," said Sasuke while smiling cheekily, which earned him some annoyed looks from those who managed to hear his words.
Naruto took a thinking pose with his eyes closed, and then opened them and looked at his team. "I came here for a reason, so I'll keep going," Naruto said while winking at Sakura, who giggled and nodded.
After none of the remaining participants seemed to have any intention of withdrawing, Ibiki simply looked at them indifferently. "Anyone else who wants to withdraw, this is your last chance," Ibiki said as he watched as none of the genin seemed to want to give up.
Ibiki simply sighed and looked listlessly at all the participants. "You passed," he said, causing the room to remain silent for about two minutes.
"WHAT!!" several genins shouted, while Ibiki laughed dryly and looked at the genins. "What happened to the last question?" asked Kiba, who, like others, was confused but satisfied with this.
"This was the last question, to see if they had the guts and see what they would do when they were against the wall and had the option to get out easily or would they take the risk" he said and then removed his ninja headband that covered his entire head, to show something that some genins remained silent and afraid of. Ibiki's head had several scars from cuts, burns, and some sunken stitches on some parts of his head.
"Because in the shinobi world, information is a double-edged sword, in which it can benefit their villages or harm them, and everyone will do whatever it takes to get it," he said, then covered himself with his handkerchief.
"When you become Chunins, you will have to make crucial decisions, decisions that will depend on you and put your teammates and yourselves at risk," said the supervisor while the participants remained silent, listening to his words.
"But well, now-" before Ibiki could continue, the window broke, and then a large sign with the words was placed on the desk.
THE SENSUAL AND SEXY INSTRUCTOR OF THE SECOND PART OF THE CHUNIN EXAMS
"Get ready to suffer, brats, because I am your instructor for the second part of the Chunin Exams. I am the powerful and sexy Anko Mitarash," Anko said as she entered through the window and jumped in the air, and landed on Ibiki's desk, while holding a flag with the words Victory.
The genins from all the villages were silent for a few seconds until they took a good look at what the girl was wearing, and the male part began to get a little nosebleed seeing how Anko was dressed, while the female part some looked at her as if envious of her body and others with shame seeing how she was dressed.
"You're early again, Anko," Ibiki said as he raised the sign to make himself noticed, while Anko laughed a little, embarrassed.
"Hehe, sorry," she said, looking at the group of genins "4… 8… 12… 16… 28, wow, 32 teams, wow, wow Ibiki-san, you're softening up, you're left with quite a few," said Anko, looking at Ibiki, who simply snorted a little.
' Too many, there were almost 100 teams at the start,' thought almost all the participants, while some had a few drops of sweat running down their necks.
"Well, maybe these brats just got lucky in the first half, or there are some promising genins this year," Ibiki said as Anko looked back to where the genins were.
"Maybe," she said, looking at Naruto and giving him a slight greeting that the blonde returned, and then the purple-headed Jonin returned to her sadistic instructor phase. "Well, it doesn't matter when I'm done with them, there will be less than half of them left," she said while licking her lips.
This earned him a few blushing genins because of the way he said it. "Okay, brats, meet me at training ground 44 in 15 minutes, and whoever arrives late will be disqualified and will be the plaything of my cute and tender snakes," said Anko until a snake appeared from her sleeve and she began to pet it.
"So don't make me wait," Anko said, then disappeared in a shushin of leaves, and the genins began to leave the classroom, leaving Ibiki alone.
Ibiki sat at his desk, took his hand to one of his pockets and took out a sheet of paper, from his drawers he took out a blank sheet of paper, he began to look at the exam and write on the blank sheet of paper, after a few minutes he stopped writing and looked at the sheet of paper. 'ibiki-san, Kabuto Yakushi, might be a spy working for orochimaru, he's chakra levels are near that of Kakashi-nii and yours, he also smells like snakes similar to the sound team.' said the note
"Well, this is certainly interesting," said Ibiki as he put the note in a pocket of his trench coat. "Your boyfriend is quite entertaining, Anko," Ibiki whispered as he continued through the hallways with a small smile on his face. "Now I have a spy to catch," he said, leaving the room humming a happy tune.
Forest of Death
Imposing, terrifying, and intimidating.
These were the words that the genins could use to describe Training Ground 44, or better known as the forest of death, since each of the aspirants could see and feel a strange chill when looking at the high treetops.
More than one of the Chunin aspirants could have sworn to hear voices inviting them to enter the forest, as well as voices that almost sounded like wails and cries for help. This caused some of the participants to swallow their saliva when they saw said forest behind a barbed fence with several danger and stay away signs.
"Alright, everyone, welcome to training ground 44, or as others call it, the forest of death," said Anko with an amused smile. "Or as I like to call it, my playground," said the purple-haired girl with amusement.
"It's a training area for the anbus and some unfortunate jonin, it's an area of more than 20 kilometers of pure forest where everything that moves will try to kill you and eat your eyes like candy," said Anko as if it were the most normal thing of all.
"And it isn't unusual for the occasional shinobi to disappear," said the snake tamer, chilling the blood of more than one of the aspirants.
"PPFF a mere attempt, a simple forest, what a pathetic waste of time for a Uchiha," Sasuke said reluctantly, then felt something warm sliding down his cheek, and then felt the cold metal on his throat.
"You know the first ones to die and die in this 'simple forest' are the arrogant and confident ones." Sasuke looked at Anko with a sweet look, then smiled, "And I think you fit that definition perfectly," he said with amusement.
"Anko-chan, could you leave him? I still need him alive," Naruto said as Anko let go of Sasuke while she had a small pout on her cheeks.
"MOO, you are so bad, Foxy-kun, at least let me have some fun," said Anko, then smiled and quickly hugged the blonde and placed them among her attractions. "Or maybe we could have another kind of fun," said the snake charmer, making more than one person have a nosebleed.
"I would like to participate in that 'fun', Anko-chan" said the Hanyou in a husky voice, bringing out some blushes from the feminine side, and some perverted fantasies from the masculine side, Naruto separating from his lover looked at her with a little amusement "But for now, we have work to do, although I could make it up to you later."
But before either of them could take a step, Naruto suddenly tensed up, which Anko noticed. But before she could say anything, she saw the kunai she had thrown at Sasuke appear in front of her, but held by a tongue. "Your kunai, I believed you dropped it." The woman stated with a hint of amusement in her voice.
"Oh, thank you, genin-san," Anko said with a smile. "I couldn't sense when she appeared," she thought, looking at the "woman" in front of her. "But you should be more careful when standing on the back of a foreign jonin; she could have killed you," Anko said with a nonchalant facade.
"Ara, in that case, excuse me, Jonin-san," said the Grass Kunoichi with false concern as she handed the kunai to Anko. "Well, anyway, thank you," said Anko, watching as the 'woman' bowed in respect. "It's nothing," said the strange Kunoichi as she walked away.
Anko reluctantly had to suppress her urges and return to the front of the genin. "Now you will be given one of these two scrolls," she said as she took out two scrolls from her trench coat that had the words heaven and earth written on them. "Your goal is to obtain the missing scroll, by any means you see fit," Anko said.
"You'll have five days to get the two scrolls and reach the tower in the middle of the forest," Anko said. "What about the food?" Chouji said, obviously scared, as he swallowed a few chips.
"There will be enough things in the forest for you to catch to eat unless they eat you first," Anko said with a giggle, while some turned pale at those words. "And one more thing," Anko said as a stack of papers appeared in her hands.
"I need you to sign these consents," said Anko, receiving questions from the genins as to why. "Some of you are expected to die during this part, and we don't want your villages to blame us for that, so these papers will free us from responsibility in case you die during the rest of the exam," Anko said bluntly.
"Besides, you can exchange them for a scroll to continue with the exam. If you don't sign them, you'd better go to hell," Anko said as she handed out the forms.
Some thought so at first, but in the end, all the contestants signed the form (team 7 had the earth scroll) and exchanged it for one of the scrolls; all the participants were taken to different exits around the forest of death.
"Everyone ready." Anko's voice was heard through a speaker as everyone got ready, "Ready… DON'T DIE… Hajime!!" and with that, the doors opened and the test began.
cryptology team
"Yukira, come look at these," came the sudden voice of Shion at finding something. Yukira surprised walked over to Shion. "What did you find out?" she asked, leaning in as she observed the notes on her papers. "Naruto-kun had given us these papers with his blood in the glasses when I found this," she said.
"No way these are Names of councilors tied to crimes and deals with criminal organizations and our security. What about the others?" Yukira asked, shocked about what they discovered. "The kidnappings of children from villages and towns show links to being bought through channels that all three of Naruto-kuns bank accounts and some business funds of Danzo and ROOT seemed to be diverted," Shion said, leaving the accusation on the air.
"We need to tell Naruto-kun about this," said Yukira before stopping. "Damn it, I forgot he's taking the chunnin exam," said Yukira, blushing with embarrassment as she had jumped to see Naruto again. Shion nodded, "We can leave a message at his estate and report to the Hokage. Plus, we have gotten close to his girlfriends and managed to go into his room," said Shion, blushing at the memory.
Forest of Death
Team 7 could be seen collecting the scroll from a rain team that tried to kill them. "Stupid idiots thought they were enough to defeat an Uchiha, HA, not even in a thousand years will they be able to catch me," Sasuke said with a sarcastic laugh, standing on the corpse of one of the rain genins.
Naruto, ignoring this, just let out a sigh. "Did we get lucky?" asked Sakura, looking at her blonde companion, who showed them an earth scroll. "No luck, Kami, this is the 3rd team with which we have the same scroll," Naruto complained, making everyone snort. "Let's go," said the blonde as he jumped onto a branch and began to walk away from the place, followed by his team.
The team was jumping from branch to branch at a moderate pace while searching for the team. "Stop," said the blonde, making the whole team stop.
"Now what, Dobe?" asked Sasuke while Sakura watched Naruto close his eyes for a few seconds, then open them and point to the right. "To the right about 50 meters," said Naruto. "There is a team that seems to be somewhat separated from each other; it seems they are setting some traps," said the Hanyou.
Sasuke just smiled. "It seems that, if you are useful after all, Dobe, now-", the Uchiha stopped when he saw how the Uzumaki raised an arm and stopped him, which made him enraged. "What do you think you're doing?" Sasuke asked in annoyance.
"Keeping you from doing something stupid again," Naruto said. "Jumping in head-on will only get you killed," he said firmly. "Ha, like a small group of useless people could stand up to a member of the strongest clan of all," said Sasuke as he tried to go after the genin team.
"Sasuke, what Naruto-kun is suggesting is reasonable," said Sakura as Sasuke looked annoyed at her, which she ignored. "If you think I'm going to listen to this nuisance, you're very wrong, damn bitch," said the Uchiha, causing Sakura to bristle at the comment while holding back her anger to beat down the Uchiha again but before the pink-haired girl could do anything, Naruto grabbed him by the shirt and looked at the Uchiha with a cold stare.
"Listen to me you fucking bastard, and I hope you have this engraved in your head" Naruto soon lifted Sasuke from the ground which surprised the raven a little "I can stand you insulting me for anything, but what I can't stand is seeing how idiots like you insult other people just because you think you have some advantage over the rest" Sasuke saw for a moment how the blondes eyes turned blood red which scared him quite a bit.
"Got it?" he asked, radiating killing intent that sent a chill down the black haired boy, who nodded nervously. "Good," said Naruto, putting down the Uchiha who cleaned his clothes a bit. Naruto sighed to calm down. "Now what I was planning was for us to ambush each of them at the same time," said Naruto, receiving a snort from Sasuke and a nod with a smile from Sakura. "Okay, this is what we will do..."
Naruto started drawing some lines with a branch that was lying around. You could see Team 7 started running across the forest floor until the three genins heard some sounds and jumped back. "Well, well, what do we have here?" said a Shinobi from Yugakure (Hot Springs Village, where Hidan is from) who was standing on the surface of a tree.
While his companions seemed to stand by his side, "We can do this the fun way or the boring way," said another of them. "Hand over your scroll and leave," demanded the third while Team 7 showed no sign of wanting to hand over the scroll. "Great, it must be for the fun," said the third ninja.
With a subtle signal, the hot spring genin jumped towards Team 7, and each one started a small Taijutsu fight. "I'm glad it's in fun mode, but this will be over soon," said the apparent leader, throwing a punch at Sasuke, who was dodging the blows with a smile.
"It seems you've never heard of the Uchiha, and to your bad luck, you're facing one," said Sasuke as he dodged a blow from the leader and hit him on the head. "Please don't make me laugh, this won't serve as a warm-up for me," said the Uchiha, so that the leader of the group simply clenched his fists and looked at the Uchiha.
"You'll see, bastard," he said, quickly throwing a large number of kunais at him, which Sasuke dodged, but the leader of the group intercepted him when he dodged the kunais, sending Sasuke a series of kicks and punches to the face and chest, making him retreat.
"Now die," said the leader, kicking Sasuke in the head, leaving him stunned. The genin of the hot springs quickly took out a Kunai and knocked Sasuke down, who looked at him and tried to cover himself, but the leader of the group stabbed him in the chest with the kunai.
The genin saw the light leave Sasuke's eyes. "It seems that the famous Uchiha clan is nothing but pathetic weaklings", he said, wiping the blood off his hands as best he could. "Hey, you two are done," said the foreign genin.
The other two genins appeared in front of him. "Ha, these leaf shinobi are weaklings. The blonde did know how to fight, but nothing serious," said one while the other simply nodded. "The girl had her tricks, but in the end, they weren't enough. It's a shame he had to kill her," said the other genin while the leader simply shook his head.
"And they have the scroll we need," asked the leader as one of his team handed him the scroll. "Okay, let's go to the" at that, the scroll turned into a black liquid while the world that the group of hot spring ninjas saw began to shine, which blinded them.
"Wow, this is a bit sad," said a voice that seemed to echo, while little by little the ninjas tried to regain their sight.
"A waste of my time indeed," said a shadow as the genins began to regain their sight and saw three silhouettes.
"And it's not even my best Genjutsu," sighed the third shadow. "And I was dying to try others," said a female voice. The genin team from the hot springs saw how Team 7 was standing in front of them with Sasuke with his arms crossed, Sakura looking at the group without anger, and Naruto spinning a Kunai.
The foreign genins tried to back away in surprise, but realized they were tied to a tree by their arms and legs with a rope. "But you... How... are you supposed to be!!" the leader shouted.
"Well, no, they fell into a simple C-rank Genjutsu," Sakura replied with a bit of amusement in her voice. "But when did they prepare the Genjutsu for all three of them at the same time?" one of the group asked.
"Job secret," Naruto said with a finger in front of his lips as he looked at Sakura and winked at her, making her blush a little. "Anyway, thanks for the scroll," Naruto said as he began to leave.
Sasuke had another idea to do with the tied genins, so he smiled with amusement, which scared the tied genins a little, but before the raven could reach his Kunai, Naruto spoke, "I think that would be a bad idea, Ducky-chan," said Naruto without turning around to look at Sasuke.
"What are you talking about, Dobe? In these exams, it is not unusual for people to die," said the dark-haired man while looking at the back of the Hanyou, who was about to stop the Uchiha, but Sakura intervened this time.
"Well, if you want people to know that the great Uchiha-sama got his hands dirty by worthless genins instead of more worthy opponents for someone with the Uchiha clan name, I wonder what they'll say," Sakura said thoughtfully.
Sasuke simply frowned and began to move forward. "They're not worth my time," the dark-haired man simply said as he began to remove the genins from the place where they were tied up, and thanked the pink-haired girl, who simply smiled.
Sakura looked ahead and began to walk beside Naruto while Sasuke stood at the front of the group, and the team walked away from the place. "Very smart, Sakura-chan," said Naruto while smiling at Haruno. " Why, thank you, Naruto-kun, maybe later I could get a reward," said the pink-haired girl with a slight blush on her cheeks. While Naruto smiled, leaning in to her ear, "Are you ready to take that step with me?" his voice was like a whisper, yet it sent shivers through Sakura, who nodded. After learning about her family and how her relationship with Naruto had changed her, it wasn't a challenge; she wanted to spend her life with him.
The team began to head towards the tower in the center of the forest. The trip was going smoothly. Naruto stretched his senses out as far as they could go to attempt to detect any other teams nearby, half expecting another ambush attempt from a possibly more skilled team. However, what the blonde hanyou was not expecting was for a mighty gust of wind to come up out of nowhere while he was in mid jump, blowing him away from his team. Much to Sakura's shock, who was firmly planted on one of the branches.
"Naruto-kun," Sakura called out worried as she dodged a barrage of Kunais along with Sasuke, and both landed on a large branch. Sakura was ready to go help her blonde-haired companion. But out of the corner of her eyes, she saw three shadows moving in the way Naruto was thrown, sensing their killing intent. Her mind raced, wanting to go and support her mate, but also.
"KUKUKUKU" both genins heard a small laugh that froze their blood. "What a coincidence to meet you again, little genins, and sorry about your partner, but I didn't want you to interrupt our little meeting." The two members of Team 7 saw how a Grass Kunoichi appeared from the shadows.
"Hey Sasuke-kun, it's good to see you again," the Kunoichi said with a smile as she let out her killer instinct. Both Sasuke and Sakura shuddered a little as they felt the pressure on them.
'The Killing Intent is heavier than Momochi Zabuza's, ' both genins thought, trying to get him to calm down and look at their opponent. "What do you want?" asked Sakura. "This girl isn't a simple genin, this is getting worse and worse," thought Sakura, seeing how the woman laughed a little.
Or, well, what I simply want is you, Sasuke-kun," said the Kunoichi, pointing at the black-haired man while licking her lips with an inhumanly long tongue, which sent a slight shiver down both genins' spines.
"But enough of the talk, let's begin," said the Kunoichi, jumping towards where the two members of Team 7 were, who barely had time to jump to the side.
Sasuke activated his Sharingan with two tomoes and, taking out a kunai, he launched himself to confront the grass woman. Sakura took a little longer to catch herself and began to see how the Uchiha launched several blows and cuts with the Taijutsu style of his clan.
"KUKUKU But what beautiful eyes you have" said the woman dodging each blow from the brunette who was beginning to get impatient "They are more beautiful than I remembered, now I want to have you even more Sasuke-kun" said the woman grabbing both of the blonde's hands while she just smiled at him in a macabre way and with her tongue she licked the Uchiha's cheek.
Making him shake a little, but before anything else could happen, the woman had to move her head to the side to dodge a Shuriken that was coming towards her head, and then catch it with her other hand to see how it caught the pink-haired girl.
But she just smiled and then dispersed into smoke, quickly realizing, she let go of Sasuke and stepped aside to avoid a blow from Sakura with chakra scalpels in both hands, but that distraction gave Sasuke a chance to replace himself with a log, which made the woman frown.
"Are you okay?" asked Sakura, receiving a grunt from the Uchiha. " It's fine, " Sakura said to herself as she looked at her options. " If only we were a little closer to the ground, I could do some extra techniques," the pink-haired girl mentally complained.
' Damn, what's going on because I can't land a single hit on her ?' Sasuke wondered, looking towards where the grass woman was. ' Who the heck is she ?' Sasuke thought as an idea occurred to him.
Taking his hand to where his bag of shurikens was, he looked directly at the Kunoichi. "You know, I think I underestimated you; you are more skilled than you look," said Sasuke as he got back into his fighting stance. "Hey..." said Sasuke, looking at his partner.
"I'm going to need you to cover me," said the Uchiha, making the girl look at him strangely.
"Do you have any plans?" Haruno asked, seeing how the Uchiha nodded. "Are you going to tell me?" Sakura asked without receiving any response from her partner. "Something or a sign that I need to know?" she asked again.
The black man simply shook his head. "Everything will be clear, soon," said the Uchiha as he took a pair of Kunais in his hand. Sakura had a bad feeling about this, but at this moment, she didn't have many options. "Now," Sasuke said as he threw the pair of Kunais.
For her part, Sakura made a hand seal. 'It would be better to have every advantage possible. Thanks to Kakashi sensei and Naruto-kun for giving us access to our resistance seals,' thought Haruno. 'Kai' thought the pink-haired Kunoichi, feeling the weight of her body released, and she felt lighter.
"Okay, here we go," Sakura said to herself, heading towards where the Kunoichi was, who easily dodged the kunais. The woman saw how Sakura was running towards her, and she simply smiled and waited for her in her place. But the woman quickly opened her eyes slightly.
" Kai," he said with a hand signal to see how the girl disappeared, and seeing how Haruno appeared in another place, which was ready to hit her using one hand to deflect the blow and catch the pink-haired girl by the throat.
But the clone smiled, so that the woman's ears could hear something.
" Earth Style: Mud Bullets." The woman looked to the left and saw three bullets heading towards her. She quickly used the clone she had in her hands, which had not yet dissipated, to throw it forward.
The clone received the first projectile that made it dissipate, and then its body moved backward in an impossible way, which surprised Haruno too much, but the most amazing or disgusting thing was hearing how the woman's bones adjusted and returned to their original position.
The woman then pulled out a kunai and, without looking back, blocked a blow. Sakura was surprised, not because the Kunoichi blocked her blow, but what surprised her was that it seemed like she wasn't even putting much force into her grip.
"Very clever, but not clever enough," he said so that both the Grass and Leaf Kunoichi could dodge a few kunais coming towards them.
' Son of a -' Sakura thought as she stepped back, as she was almost cut by kunais and shurikens.
Looking at her opponent, she saw how the woman had managed to dodge the kunais while still having the same mocking smile on her face.
"I got you," said Sasuke, attracting the attention of the grass Kunoichi.
She saw how the black haired man seemed to pull something, so that the next second, she felt how her body was held by several ninja threads. Sasuke began to make some hand seals.
"Fire Style Great Fireball," shouted the Uchiha as he fired a fireball, which headed directly against the Grass Kunoichi, hitting her point blank. Sasuke was happy to see his work done, but both he and Sakura realized that their enemy's body had turned into mud.
'Where are you-' Sasuke thought in disbelief and then felt a gust of wind hit him from behind. "Shit," said the Uchiha, who was dragged backwards, where he threw a kunai with ninja thread, which stuck into the bark of a tree.
Sasuke, using that, managed to swing until he was able to stand on the bark of a tree. "KUKUKU, It seems that I will be able to play with you a little longer," said the Kunoichi of the grass, looking at both Sasuke and Sakura. "So who will be the first?" said the woman.
Sasuke simply growled as he began to run on the bark of the tree to head towards where the foreign Kunoichi was, who simply smiled a little, but before he could say anything else, she quickly opened her eyes to look ahead. And see how Sakura was performing some hand seals.
"Earth Style: Mud Bullets," said Haruno, firing her attack again. The Kunoichi simply stepped aside to dodge the pink-haired girl's attack.
But in doing so, the woman had to raise her arms to block a kick from Sasuke, to begin to move, dodging the cuts that Sasuke was throwing at her, and then.
Soon, both fighters began to fight in a Taijutsu fight, where Sasuke's blows began to get closer and closer to her enemy, who simply began to use her arms to begin blocking the blows, cuts, and kicks that the Uchiha was throwing at her.
The Kunoichi soon decided to go on the offensive, and when she was about to throw a punch towards her face, the Grass Kunoichi quickly moved her head to the side to avoid a kunai that was going towards her head.
Then she looked ahead and saw another pair of shurikens heading towards her, where she could notice that the shurikens came from Sakura.
' TKS, what a pain,' the grass native mentally growled, then she hit Sasuke in the chest and sent him backwards, so that with great speed he dodged the shurikens. Soon, the woman began to run through the branches of the trees to head towards where Haruno was.
Which began to jump between the trees. "Little busybody," said the black-haired Kunoichi to stand face to face with Sakura, who placed herself on guard, which brought a smile to the Kusa-Kunoichi, who saw how Haruno launched herself against her, to which she simply blocked her blows.
But not after a few blows that Sakura so that the Kunoichi of Kusagakure then sent her a blow that sent Sakura against a tree, raising a bit of dust and splinters, so that a moment later the pink-haired girl's chest was pierced by the Kusa-Kunoichi's fist.
"One less problem," said the black-haired woman, only to be surprised when the face of the team 7 member began to crumble into the ground. "An earth clone," said the Kunoichi, surprised.
" Earth Style: Cal Prison," the foreign kunoichi heard a voice behind her only to see the earth that was around her arm harden and a bit of the earth wrap around her feet to harden again, soon the Kunoichi looked back to find Sakura "Not bad, girl, so you replaced yourself and created this clone right after I threw you against the tree" said the Kusa Kunoichi.
' Damn, that was close,' Sakura thought, feeling how her body was somewhat beaten up. ' If I hadn't been training physically, I would be unconscious with the blow he sent me, ' Haruno thought, feeling how her body still felt the blow she received.
' I'll have to thank Kakashi-sensei for teaching me earth clones and lime prison later, ' Sakura thought as she looked at her trapped opponent, who simply turned her head to look at her and effortlessly broke through.
But soon both kunoichis opened their eyes, as a pair of when Kusa's Kunoichi took a step forward, her entire body stopped to collide with something very thin.
When they looked at what it was, they noticed that it was a ninja cable, but they didn't have time to say or do anything because soon the black haired Kunoichi's body was pulled back by the cables and kept stuck against the tree.
Soon, Sasuke appeared on a tree in front of the Kunoichi and Haruno, where he was holding the cables.
"Die, you damn bitch" said the Uchiha as he began to perform some hand seals. " Fire Style: Dragon Flame," said Sasuke, shooting a torrent of fire from his mouth that took the shape of a dragon's head and shot out at his opponent.
Sakura saw how her teammate's jutsu could reach her, so she quickly moved away from the place, managing to dodge the fireball. "AHAHAHAHAHA" were the screams that could be heard from the Kunoichi as she was burned by the Uchiha's jutsu, who was looking at his work with some pride.
"What the hell is wrong with you!" said a more than furious Sakura, as she landed to the right of the Uchiha, who didn't even look at her. "Was your plan to use me as bait?" shouted Haruno.
"It was the best opportunity and the necessary one to be able to distract her so that she would fall into the trap" said Sasuke simply the Uchiha "Even if my jutsu reached you it would be an acceptable loss" declared the Uchiha, with each word that the possessor of the Sharingan said made Sakura's fury begin to increase.
"KUKUKUKUKU," before either of the two genins could say anything else, they heard the woman's laughter again.
Both genins stopped when they heard the same laughter from the grass woman. They both looked towards where her corpse should be and saw how, in that place, they could see a clay statue that was crumbling.
"Wow that was wonderful, I have to say that to a certain extent they have good teamwork" both genins saw how the Kunoichi of the grass emerged from one of the branches with a smile, while a part of her face was torn, but instead of blood gushing out or seeing muscles, they only saw a yellow eye accompanied by insanely white skin.
The guy just peeled back his skin and smiled at the group.
"Now let me formally introduce myself," he said as he leaned with an arm across his chest. "My name is Orochimaru," he smiled as he watched the two genins widen their eyes in surprise.
' Orochimaru, one of the three legendary Sannin and a defector from the Leaf, ' Sakura thought as she was trembling a little, having such an adversary in front of her.
' A deserter who was considered one of the most powerful ninjas,' thought Sasuke as he looked a little dazed at the Sannin.
"Now… for having managed to entertain me a little, I will give you a reward…" the woman dragged her voice a little while "I will take you a little more seriously," the woman said before disappearing.
Sasuke and Sakura could only blink once only to feel a sharp pain on their faces, then crash into a tree, ' Damn it ' Sakura complained and then received a blow to the stomach from Orochimaru that left her barely conscious, Sasuke watching as the Sannin was moving away from the pink haired girl and heading towards where he was with the same maniacal smile on his face.
Managing to stand up, Sasuke saw how Orochimaru continued to stare at him, but at that, Sasuke felt how the snake man began to send him a great killing instinct.
Sasuke just gulped as he felt the great pressure that seemed like it was going to crush him. The Uchiha tried to move, but his legs wouldn't respond. 'Because I can't move, come on, move,' he said to himself. ' Is it because I'm... maybe I'm weak-... '
With that thought he just gritted his teeth in frustration while stabbing a kunai into his leg to get over the scare 'No, I'm an Uchiha, an elite, the strongest of all, I'm not the one who should feel fear, my enemies are the ones who will feel fear when they see the abyss that exists between them and my power ' he thought while his gaze darkened.
And he starts making some hand stamps. " Lightning Style: Electric Killer " Sasuke fires a pair of rays, which Orochimaru simply sinks into the tree branch, then appears a few meters from the Uchiha. "Come on, Sasuke-kun, don't tell me that's all you've got." Orochimaru sighed as if disappointed. "Itachi-kun was a bigger challenge." Sasuke just clenched his fists in frustration at his brother's mention. "Maybe you're not as strong as I thought."
And with that, Sasuke just screams in rage and charges at the Sannin with his Sharingan burning. "Shut up, bastard. Fire Style: Great Fireball. Sasuke fired again at Orochimaru, who just smiled at the Uchiha's unbridled attack.
With a few hand poses, Orochimaru simply smiles. " Water Style: Pressure Bullet," said the Sannin to fire a water bullet from his mouth. The moment the two jutsus meet, they both cancel each other out at the same time.
"KUKUKU That's it, come on, Sasuke-kun, come on, make this more entertaining," said Orochimaru as the fog dissipated to show an angry Sasuke.
"HAHAHAHA I'll kill you!!, I'll kill you!!, I'll kill you, damn son of a bitch!!" Sasuke shouted, watching as Orochimaru deflected one of his blows and landed a blow to the pit of his stomach that left him breathless and made him spit saliva. Without giving him enough time, Orochimaru jumped towards where Sasuke was and planted a kick that sent him backwards.
Sasuke ends up crashing into a tree with a little blood coming out of his nose and mouth, seeing how Orochimaru was still in front of him without a scratch was enough motivation to get back up.
"Tell me, Sasuke-kun, do you know why you can't beat me?" asked Orochimaru, seeing how the Uchiha didn't answer him he decided to continue, "It's not because you're weak or anything like that you're someone with a lot of potential" said the Sannin seeing how Sasuke loosened his fighting stance.
This made the Sannin smile and lick his lips. "You know, I can give you the power you seek, a power so great that it will make the most powerful in history look like simple children compared to you," said Orochimaru, causing Sasuke to only open his eyes in disbelief. "Why would you do that?" the Uchiha asked suspiciously.
"It's that you remind me of me when I was your age, you're trapped in a village that limits you, people don't give you what you deserve even when you are more than capable of anything and above all they limit your potential to be the greatest of all" said the traitorous Sannin, this made Sasuke only clench his fists in frustration as he felt identified with the Sannin's words.
Orochimaru, seeing this, simply made a seal with his hands so that his neck stretched supernaturally. "HAHAHAHAHA" was Sasuke's scream as he felt Orochimaru sink his fangs into his neck.
"This is the power I offer you, Sasuke-kun. Use it and then come find me," said Orochimaru as he retracted his fangs and his neck from Sasuke, who only shuddered in pain and then grabbed his neck before falling unconscious. Orochimaru just watched his work and smiled afterwards. "Now I just have to"
" Water Style: Great Water Dragon." his monologue was cut short as he had to dodge a large water dragon crashing where he was. Orochimaru, with great agility, managed to avoid the blow from the water reptile.
To then look in the direction in which the Water Dragon was shot and then have a big smile on his face, "Oh, Naruto-kun, it's good that you're here, I hope you liked my gift that I gave you," said Orochimaru.
"Well, if that's your idea of a gift, I can't imagine how you greet people when they visit, you damn pedophile," Naruto said with a smile, making the Sannin just look at him angrily. "I'M NOT A PEDOPHILE!!" Naruto watched as the Sannin lost his composure for a few seconds as he remembered how he got here.
Change of Pov
A few minutes earlier, "It's our chance," said one of the figures, looking at Naruto, separated from his team and was a perfect shot to eliminate him. 'We'll see, let's go, ' said another figure, earning a grunt from his teammates as they rushed through the trees. Two were able to catch the glance of the female teammate. "They are a bit better than we expected, but nothing we can't handle," said the other figure.
Rushing through the trees, they sneaked in each member of their "team" in a tree with a different view of their target, hiding their chakra to the point they seemed not to be there. As they noticed Naruto was suddenly attacked by a giant snake trying to eat him, only for Naruto to jump back as he went through seals. Yelling, "Fire Style BlazingArrows," as fire arrows shot out of his mouth.
Before they could act, his fox appeared, fighting the snake, angry at hissing at him. This one thing made the two figures already narrow their eyes. Only for them to be shocked when the snake disappeared, as Naruto calmed it down before he went to sleep again, earning a sweatdrop from them. But Naruto seemed to notice them, and before they could move to attack, he threw smoke bombs in their direction.
Once the smoke disappeared, they noticed he wasn't there. "Damn it, we should have killed him," said the figure. "You're wrong, he was on alert all this time, we have been following him. Right now, whoever is attacking them is clearly of a higher standing than us, so we will get him once they are separated again. I'm guessing one will stay back while the other goes to find the missing scroll."
"What do you mean?" said the other figure. "The attacker is a jonin; if they make it alive, they would have lost the scroll, that'll be our chance to attack when he's weaker and more stressed," said one. "I wanted to have a fair fight, but I won't complain about an unfair fight," said the other figure.
Suna Team
"Damn, how boring," said Kankuro as he watched Temari search between two genin bodies that appeared to be made of grass, which had some blood stains on their bodies, along with some sand on their sides. "And we have it this time," asked the puppeteer to his sister, who was still
"Calm down, Kankuro, why don't you check what's left of the other one?" said Temari, looking with Kankuro at a small pile of flesh and blood covered by sand next to the bodies of the two genins. Kankuro simply avoided answering when he saw Temari find a scroll.
"And we have it," asked the puppeteer, seeing how his sister shook her head and showed him a sky scroll. "Shit, another one," said Kankuro reluctantly.
"We'll have to keep looking," Temari said as she put away the scroll.
"That doesn't matter," said Gaara with an emotionless voice, who was a few meters away from his brothers. "Move, it's a waste of time." With that said, Gaara began to walk past his brothers.
But out of nowhere a huge tiger launched itself towards where the Ichibi's jinchuriki was "Gaara be careful" Temari shouted to her younger brother, who didn't even look at the tiger, and before anyone could think of anything the tiger was already being held by thick sand tentacles that were wrapped around its legs, thorax, snout, mouth, tail etc.
"How annoying," said Gaara until the tiger began to moan in pain as the tentacles began to strangle him tightly. "AHAHAHAHA," the tiger growled one last time before the tentacles broke every bone in his body and left him in a bloody pulp.
"Let's continue," Gaara said with annoyance, but then he stopped to look to the left for a moment while squinting his eyes. He stood there for a few seconds looking at a group of bushes.
"Gaara," called Kankuro, watching as his brother stood still in one place, seeing how he looked at him and passed by him, "It's nothing, let's continue," said Gaara as the Suna brothers left the place and jumped through the trees.
Temari sighed "I wish we could face good opponents, this is kind of boring" said the girl with pigtails while Kankuro nodded. "If I wanted to return to Uzumaki to settle some scores," Kankuro said with a snort at the end, while Temari laughed a little.
"Why did you forget the store where you could buy your makeup or sorry war paint?" Temari said, covering her mouth to muffle a laugh.
Kankuro just gritted his teeth until an idea occurred to him. "Besides, I'm sure you'd like to see him again and try to pet him again, hey Temari," he said, causing the aforementioned to blush heavily, which brought a mocking smile to Kankuro.
"HAHA, you like that boy," laughing and closing her eyes, not seeing how Temari gritted her teeth and took her fan in her hands, while more red settled on her face. "SHUT UP IDIOT," and Temari hit Kankuro on the head with her fan, which caused a large bump to stick out of his cat suit. "I was just curious to see if they were real," the Kunoichi of Suna excused herself.
"Or you just wanted to pet him that much," Kankuro said with a laugh. "Kankuro, you want to die," Temari said as she took her fan back into her hands. Kankuro, knowing that he was playing with fire, tried not to continue with his attempts to mock him.
' Or fuck it, life is too short, you have to enjoy the moment,' thought the puppeteer. "Well, you could check if they are real if you invited him on a date," said the second brother, so that Temari would have enough.
With a quick movement, Temari, with a strong blush that could be both from anger and embarrassment, hit Kankuro on the head, making him fall to the ground, where he was nailed to the ground with his legs sticking out of the ground ' It was worth it ' thought Kankuro, surprisingly still alive.
' It seems that one does gain toughness when you make women angry,' thought Kankuro as he managed to get out of the hole and face a more than furious Temari, only to give her a mocking smile.
"You don't seem to understand, do you?" Temari said, preparing for another blow.
"Enough," said Gaara, stopping the fight between his two brothers. "We're wasting time, let's continue," he said, so that the three of them started jumping between the tree branches again.
As they continued jumping, Temari had a small mental dispute 'Going out with Uzumaki Naruto' she thought, and then imagined herself and the blonde on a date, which made her smile, but then she remembered the reason why they were in the Chunin Exams.
' That won't be possible, although if it could be done,' she thought to herself, shaking her head, she continued jumping through the trees.
Where the Suna team used to be
Looking behind the bushes, you could see Team 8, with Hinata covering Kiba and Akamaru's mouths, while Shino was by her side while sighing a little.
"Hinata-san, have they already left?" asked the Aburame, seeing how his partner had the Byakugan on. "It's safe now," he said, releasing the dog boy and the dog.
"Why did you do that? This is so awkward," Kiba complained as he watched Hinata wipe her hands. "We could have ambushed them and gotten the scroll we needed."
"Believe me, at the time I liked having to cover your mouth with my hand" Hinata said seriously, finishing cleaning her hand with a small water jutsu "Besides, if we had done that we would have scored in the same place as the tiger and the other shinobi who faced that boy over there" Hinata said, looking at the rest of the genin and then at the tiger.
Kiba shivered and simply had to agree with that. "We'll have to continue," he said as he began to sniff around.
"Something important, Kiba-san," Shino asked, to see how Kiba opened his eyes and rubbed his nose as if trying to get rid of something. "Kiba-san," Shino raised his voice a little to see how the boy with marks fell on his butt and looked forward.
"What's wrong? What did you smell?" Hinata asked as she focused her Byakugan in Kiba's direction, seeing that it wasn't where the Suna team had gone.
"YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO THAT WAY," Kiba said quickly, pointing west and missing his companions. "This smell is heavy and disgusting, it's like smelling thousands of rotting corpses," he said with a grimace of disgust.
"We better go in another direction, let's move," Hinata said with Shino nodding.
"There is someone who named you the team leader," said Kiba, and then received a dark look from Hinata that made it as if the whole world sank into darkness, and from the Hyuga's Byakugan, a dark blue energy came out while she continued looking at Kiba, who only dryly brought it.
"I think another direction isn't a bad idea," said the Inuzuka, trying to look like he didn't give in, while Akamaru was trembling under the girl's gaze. "Okay, let's move," Hinata said with a smile as everyone's color returned. Team 8 soon began heading east in search of other opponents.
