away he knelt down beside the crying boy inspecting the Masterpiece on the stomach pleased that the young fourth Hokage at least made a new Jin chuii with such a strong Heritage he was almost giddy with the idea of molding the boy into koha's Ultimate Weapon anzo muffling a curse he turned around to see his rival Cobi harisen approach with a squat of U what are you doing here harison asked with a scowl I was inspecting the seal heris and danzo replied [ __ ] a believable excuse being one of the best seal users after the fourth and his master Jia the deepening of the scowl and The Frigid look in herzen's eyes told danzo he didn't buy it and harisen asked keeping up public appearances for the approaching forces a seal is a masterpiece the boy is the container of the caoi and know Yoko Dano spoke a bit too loudly for everyone to hear omitting the fact that the Beast would be perfectly contained leaving the more coolest members of the crowd to make their own conclusions but the bit of pushing confusion will turn to hatred and herzen will be forced to hand the boy over to me danzo though with an inward smirk and judging by the gritting of herzen's teeth he knew danzo's game herzen walked away from the orphanage he just left koha's news chinch cricky deep in thought he wondered where kha was was to his painting heart they already found his wife boo buried beneath the rubble where kashina gave birth as family Centric the uzumakis were he was certain kha would not abandon her son it was just one of the many questions of the painful long night however why did the seal break while manado was there how did caoi so suddenly appear next to the Great Walls a beast of such stature would be heard seen and felt through the ground as it approached yet somehow the Beast appeared next to the walls like somebody summoned it but no one could summon caoi right several weeks later underground hideout the calculated risk danzo reminded himself as he and two of his strongest root waited in the dark room for a snake to appear C cooo rang through the room The Haunting sound appearing from a pale snake like man arachim Maru danzo rachim replied you have an intriguing request the man spoke smoothly but what do I get in return in response danzo gestured to his men one of which opened the large scroll with a poof and a gust of smoke kha lay before them I have heard you are collecting people with uzamaki blood for some reason danzo spoke before he could go on he was interrupted by the Snake Man live yamaki danzo with cao's appearance a couple of weeks ago which sadly failed to destroy the village yachu spoke with a mock sigh she is quite dead Jin cricky don't survive the loss of their Beast after all wrong gimo eyes widened in Surprise and slowly made it towards the woman's body expertly taking her Vital Signs and to his surprise and joy the wife of his rival for the Hokage seat was alive guu arachim Mar chuckled in joy I accept your offer danzo come back in 2 weeks here and I will give you the Mutan implant nodding in agreement danzo watched the snake pick up a woman and disappear into the Shadows The Roots must be strong for the lease to prosper danzo spoke to himself several more weeks later arachim Mar's hideout with a cough and a curse arachim Mar checked the last ditch attempt to save his life and once again despite the prime specimen used it had failed his quest to immortality would ironically claim his life cursing all way as he walked towards his study arachim was for once lost at what he could do ever since the Takeover of his first host body he knew something had gone wrong and now he was slowly dying every day he could feel his life force slowly leak out of him his first attempt to avoid that fate was to jump to another body but nothing changed after several other attempts he found out it only fastened the process each takeover harder than the first unsure if he could survive another one he tried other things medicine experiments and artifacts but nothing worked as a last attempt he tried to tap into the potent life force of the Uzumaki Clan sadly the said Clan was betrayed during the second Shinobi War left to die by koha as Kiri and Kumo descended upon the strong island nation like a large pack of wolves after the village suffered significant casualties aiding koha and instead of aiding yashio like Yash ated koha hin decided to let the whirlpool spin to its end koha already had a new Young garii host and saw no further reason to Aid their longtime allies finding survivors was hard long work in the end he found two both were however not related to the main family that truly enjoyed the benefits of the clan so when danzo came around with the princess of the main family whose body was further strengthened by whatever bu would do to make their host stronger arachim Maru was sure he found a solution but it wasn't ad meant in half a dozen or so years arachim would die the very thought of that spouted another stream of curses from the normally compassed man after a while arachim Maru calmed down again and started to think about his future calmly the time he had left was too short to properly build up a force to could destroy koha attempting to entice Iowa into attacking their Archen enemy was unlikely they were rebuilding themselves from the damage the yellow Flash did Kumo suffered from a recent bu Rampage themselves and Kiri was at the verge of Civil War and soon aware koha allies and had no reason to poke the giant always having been the weakest of the great five after the second war that meant he had to make a successor of his legacy but hu arachim Maru murmured to himself as he Le through his Personnel files Kabuto the young genius came to mind but arachim Maru did not trust the boy the others were not that brilliant or had no reason to burn the leaf unless arachim thought I tell them half and full truths to make them hate the leaf chuckling to himself he walked back to his lab and soon started to awake a certain reded Thea groaned as she came to her body feeling weak and stiff instead of the expected white from a hospital ceiling she saw a dark roof where am I the woman managed to croak out welcome to my Hideout Cino voice spoke silkily barer she spat as soon she saw the well-known snake traitor in response the man merely chuckled why did you kidnap me she demanded hotly as she tried to pull herself up I did not kidnap you arachim replied smoothly hearing the disbelieving snort people in the leaf were more than happy to hand you over an exchange for my services at this kash's eyes widened replayed her most recent memories before coming to a conclusion danzo she growled garach maramok praised he wanted to speak more but the woman before him started panicking my son what about my son did that oneeyed bastard get his hands on My Son Your Son arachim Maru blinked in confusion before connecting the dots the fourth used his own son he chuckled out before taken by surprise by the death glare from Ken that bastard lost his right to be my son's father the moment he decided to seal the caoi into my son for koha kashina spat as she wobbly got off the slab she lay upon I need to find nuto kha spoke as she tried to hobble to the exit before she was pushed back into the slab it's far too late for that arachim Maru spoke calmly the ceiling happened nearly 2 months ago at this kash's eyes widened in fear furthermore arachim Maru plowed on do you truly think danzo would allow you to return to koha the fire in kash's eyes told him she hardly cared time to bend the truth a bitter aimer chuckled in his mind for here is and for that matter rimu continued taking Delight in kash's confusion well he kept the boy out of danzo's Paws he did spread the fact the boy is cao's gin shuii kash's gasp told him she knew exactly how hard the boy life would would be meanwhile arachim Maru took a mock thinking pose it's almost like he wants to give koha a scapegoat Egan kha on to make the wrong conclusions by the time she figured it out he would be dead anyways so what do you want from me kha demanded motherly rage getting the better of her turned me into an experiment arachu shakes his head I have much bigger plans for yuk Kushina seeing her enraged expression he held up his hands in a pacifying gesture I want you to become my successor a statement shocked kha from her rage why I am dying Kash rachim responded calmly I made a fatal error and death is the price why me because my time is short and your potential is great then what about lacky or anko as your abandoned student she would make a better successor kha pressed at anko's name arachim Mark's face darkened I did not abandon her she made her choice to delay my pursuers then why do her memories claim otherwise Ken asked skeptically at the saracha rolled his eyes a yamanaka clan can do more than just enter your mind remove moving adding and altering memories is Child's Play for experienced users oh was the intelligent response deciding to push her more I am currently building my own village with respective forces furthermore I already have spies in the leaf seeing kha was catching on he pushed on I can order them to keep an eye out on your baby boy and when you become my successor you can take that power to take back your son perhaps even take revenge on harison for what he did to yashio seeing the woman deep in thought he asked once more so kashina will you become my successor 12 years later Land of Waves nuto hissed as he massaged his arms that yesterday were turned into porcupines by hacku zabu is accomplice during the battle on the half-finished bridge the result of the battle left both of them dead sasu porcupine Kakashi exhausted the local [ __ ] Overlord Gad and him Naruto the hero of the Land of Waves despite the rest of his team's attempts to make Kakashi and sasu cloak like the heroes are you all right Naruto tsunami the bridge Builder's daughter asked worried bracing the kind woman with a genuine smile I am fine tsunami thanks for asking dealing his arms a bit more he decided he needed to use more of his lovable sealed in your stomach fuz Ball's power to properly heal his arms before Kakashi allowed sasu to challenge Naruto again I am heading out for a bit Naruto said to Tsunami where are you going nuto came the hateful tone from Kakashi including a glare from The Lone eye his other Sharingan eye hidden behind his tilted headband Plastering on a fake smile he gave all the caoi haters I am just going around town to get some fresh air and walk off the soreness from all those needles he spoke with fake cheer that's not a problem is it getting another glare from Kakashi but no denial Naruto waves to tsunami and runs off while Kakashi turned around and checked on the still knocked out Sask tsunami could only sigh at the exchange she couldn't understand why the slightly loud but reasonably polite nuto would be so hated by his own team a sentiment the otherwise cheerful boy seemed more than willing to return the rage she saw in the boy's eyes when her son andari started whining about the unfairness of Life made it quite clear nuto knew way more about suffering than a 12-year-old should but the rest of his team either didn't know or choose to ignore it like Sakura did tsunami just wished she could do something talking pleasantly and waving off Praises was a new but very pleasant experience for Naruto who reveled in the positive attention he got the villagers unlike the constant hatred glaring and abuse he normally got back home maybe I should injure Sask a bit more so we could stay here longer Naruto mused Kakashi wants to go back to that H ho as soon as possible for some reason Naruto soon squashed that idea he was far too kindhearted despite everything to do something like that despite his unpleasant upbringing with very few friends moving out of town and doing his utmost to make sure he wasn't SPI upon he gently Drew upon cao's power channeling to his arms who took the brunt of all the needles Haku tossed around as usual the Beast took this opportunity to talk to him you could just use my power to destroy that hellhole ignoring the mindreading Beast he focused the Demonic sha on his arms one of these days you will use my power the Beast roared not taking kindly to being ignored I told you before I am not going to rely on your power the thunderous Nord echoed through his mind one of these days you will realize power is the only thing that counts in this world and you will come begging to me Nudo barked a short laugh never before he stopped pulling on cao's Power and settled down it would take a while before the connection closed again and the last thing he wanted was getting caught talking to the Beast despite being the evidence they weren't the same as Keno has seemed to think a deep growl eleminated from caoi you are just like my previous hosts never using my power unless I force it upon you nuto startled in Surprise usually his shorts conversations over the years was caoi offering power nuto ignoring it and so forth rarely breaching other subjects unless it was advice that Naruto had to admit kept him safe like playing ignorant about being cao's host in the first place until Mizuki conveniently revealed it to him losing himself in the recent memories he remembered playing along with the obvious fake second exam after the normal one was so clearly sabotaged he nicked The Forbidden scroll learned a neat Jutsu from it got Mizuki to reveal the so badly hidden secret about his gin chuii status and got a dubious friendship with aruka an original caoi hater who admitted he was wrong didn't mean the bastard did something with it aside from giving some free raymen he never bothered making up for ignoring all the sabotage attempts now that I think about the Beast went on ignorant of Naruto's moment of introspective your family name is yamaki isn't it yes what about it Naruto responded in his thoughts still unsure when caoi was going hrmph my previous host yuzaki kashina was a fiery loud woman with an unhealthy love for that sloppy Cole Raymond he you could be her son the fox spoke carelessly excited he might learn something about his family Naruto drew a tiniest sliver of cao's power to keep the link open what happened to her she is dead the Beast spoke bluntly taking Delight in nutk deflated expression deciding to elaborate no host survives the the extraction of the tailed beast Nudo sced in disappointment trust caoi to ruin something positive into something horrible still he trusted the enormous being of chakra more than he did to anyone else so far the fox stayed true to his promise to only speak the truth as it knew it still you are probably her son crazy woman was birthing a child shortly before I was released nuto sighed well atlast I know my mother's name now the Beast already having told him about the events as far as it knew to him stopping the draw of power Naruto mediated until he felt that presence disappear from the back of his mind while formulating a decent response to give to the old lying man Hokage about the power he got from caoi when things became too sticky for the beast's opinion satisfied he could talk his way out of it should the old man get suspicious Naruto headed back to tsunami's house ignoring the obvious bias debriefing in front of the Hokage Naruto barely held in a Snicker as the last two Sharingan users in koha embellished their efforts oh the irony when I tell them that the reason caoi attacked koha was that damn pinky eye Naruto thought as sasu showed off his eyes while Sakura squealed in delight and Kakashi nodded in Pride afterwards Naruto spun a convincing Story how sasukes Knockout by haku's needles convinced him he died as the duck bit haired bastard tried to hide behind him pushed him into a rage that caused him to go ban Haku that Nudo was in full control was something the Hokage and Kakashi did not need to know both the old monkey and the copycat bought the story and reminded him not to depend on the power of the dangerous Fox because he could hurt his friends and allies like I have that many Naruto snorted to himself as Naruto was dismissed he heard her is in remind Kakashi about the T in exams freezing nark blood ice cold as he stiffly kept walking no way the team is ready for that damn it that single pink eye will sign us up for the Dual pinky eyes Naruto ranted to himself Naruto was fairly aware what the tanin exams contained having paid attention to the contestants around 3 years ago when they happened in koha still he needed advice and quickly made his way to the hospital to find his longtime friend Kabuto sneaking his way past the inattentive chew and guards he soon made his way to the breakroom hoping Kabuto would still be having dinner before he started his evening shift Lady Luck was once again on his side and he saw the gray-haired boy cleaning up the dishes behind himself hey Kabuto nuto hollered carelessly through the room Kabuto sighed and turned around to face the blonde boy Naruto K he spoke his voice soft what did I say about your manners arudo rubbed the back of his head sheepishly sorry good afternoon Kabuto San here aside Kabuto chuckled in response you will earn one day Naruto K why did you come here the cheu and and exams are coming up and I am sure Cyclops will sign us up Kabuto nodded agreeing with his logic I don't think the team is ready me and duck but the nickname got a disapproving look from Kabuto might be strong enough but the stupid thing is a team effort which we clearly aren't abudo frowned he was under orders to convince the entire team to participate don't worry too much Naruto K the final part is nearly always an individual showcasing of skills judged by chuin and jonan bio's words had the opposite effect than he intended and nuto deflated further I might as well not bother it's not like they'll promote the demon boy no use risking my life just to get duck bit promoted Kabuto withheld an improper word wishing he could smack himself for making such a mistake taking another tack he sighed in agreement that might be true nuto K but think about the trouble you will get into if you don't show up like that pinky eyed Cyclops trains me Naruto complained but before Kabuto respond but you are right as always thanks for the help as always Kabuto remembering Kabuto's efforts to teach him manners he bowed slightly Kabuto beam that his lifelong efforts finally had some results before coming back to Earth and remembering his mission Aro k whatever happens keep an open mind he spoke before turning back to his dishes ignoring the confused look nuto shot him knowing Kabuto could be cryptic time from time he decided to remember the advice and quickly snuck out of the hospital as the starting date of the and exams approached Naruto slowly gained the help Kakashi showed up late to whatever registration was supposed to happen and the team would not participate of course in typical Kakashi Fashion on the day before it started he appeared with forms in his hand cheerfully informing the team to fill them in and appear at room 3001 the next day before disappearing again leaving the group who waited for 3 hours just to receive some forms predictably Sask stormed off intent to train followed quickly by his pink-haired gry leaving nuto behind on the the field who looked at the form like it was a death sentence what to do he started to mumble to himself replaying Kabuto's advice in his head lost in thought he did not sense a person approaching him thinking about the you in in exams a female voice called out shocking nuto out of his thoughts whirling about he saw a bright red-headed woman with blue eyes with black pupils that had a slit in them despite her long hair she wore plain gray garbs with a J and vest indicating her rank her headband a musical note on it uh yes yes I am I am not sure if I should take them nuto hastily answers still distracted by the in his opinion beautiful hair and why would you not you should be strong enough seeing nutk frown at the question surely Canó had trained its ginch cricky well the woman drawled on carelessly nuto shocked took a step back who are you how did you know the woman laughed why Naruto Chan nearly everybody in koha knows about the little fox inside you surely you didn't think the rest of the world would not pick that up as for my name Kaku Odo J and of the Jen and team from Modo nuto felt like banging his head against a rock for the first part like I need an even bigger Target on my back hello world I am the container of the nine tailed evil Fox of Doom he thought sarcastically at the second part he narrowed his eyes at the obvious Alias well what do you want he asked rudely still unnerved about his secret known to the rest of the world IR I bring a message from your mother the woman replied my mother is dead nuto interrupted ER you know who your parents are the woman asked surprised nuto was silent for a moment weighing his curiosity for this supposed message against giving away information he decided to play safe only my mother's name and that she could not survive the night I was born she slightly tilted her head processing his response before a slight smile made it to her face era of course youd think she didn't survive the extraction of the Beast smiling further when Naruto took another step back in Surprise his eyes the size of saucer plates clearly you haven't been told about your Clan's bloodline limit plan bloodline limit narudo sputtered out how much did that damn fossil lie to me about not even told about your clan she laughed haven't you heard in class or looked in the library Naruto's face crunched in concentration no I never heard of it and I did read most of the books about Clans mostly so that I know who or what I could face since nobody would teach or help me damn Fox does have good ideas time from time the woman chuckled again irer they really didn't tell you anything did they well your mother is alive she misses you and she will come to get you soon nuto scowled and why would she wait oh I don't know 13 years the humor from the woman's face disappeared she survived that terrible night you were stolen from her arms by the fourth Hokage to be used for the ceiling she was kidnapped and sold away that same night the people responsible are very important in koha by the time she awoke she was far too weakened to do anything Nudo was taken AB by the Venom in the woman's voice but soon soften she truly wanted you Narito Chan and never wanted to burden you with the caoi it is well known Jin cricky our poor know for sure who my mother is who supposedly is kidnapped by somebody from koha and sold off and I don't have a clue who my father is and what happened to him and apparently people in koha should know all of this and that woman then Saku Odo or better known as yamaki kashina heed a sigh as she tried to control the shaking of her body the sheer Terror of the thought her boy might reject her for not being there took a heavy toll on her K Sama Kabuto inquired carefully are you all right she smiled weakly at the ever loyal boy she freed from danzo clutches who was forced by that man to be a contact person and spy on rimu who in turn used him as goer boy and shoved off the more dirty and less interesting experiments on him Kina stopped that she took her teacher interest in experimentation but only took used it as punishment on the scum of the earth and did not force her people to help her in her Endeavors I am all right Kabuto kunun it was harder than I thought I just wanted to pick him up run back to Odo and never let go the buo nodded in understanding one more month Kash s he encouraged it worked kash's smile widened one more month and he'll be mine and koha will pay for their transgressions Naruto withheld a smug smirk as he saw sasu pick himself up from the trashing Rock Lee handed to him his copy ey useless against the boy Supreme speed ver supposed genius he first reveals the first obstacle of the exams and then challenges someone who is clearly Superior to him nuto thought to himself as the team made their way to the correct room once there they were greeted by an i smiling Kakashi who took their forms I wish you luck and remember work as a team and ditch that bastard Fox boy as soon as you can the sooner you die the sooner Sensei can rest in peace we will be fine Naro responded with fake cheer the AA grunted and Sakura just nodded in full confidence the team walked into the room which was slowly filling up with teams from all over the elemental Nations they were greeted with a loud you it even with the clan less dead last and all bero bit back a scathing response now knowing both statements were false and settled by Rolling his eyes as he saw the dog boy followed by the Shai hauga Aris and The Stoke ABA member both politely greeted the team something nuto and Sakura returned the sentiment while sasu silently kept his aloof demeanor Tiba continued his rant which the rest of the group ignored they could however not ignore the loud shriek sasu from Eno as she barreled into the AA knocking him over the rookies should keep it down Kabuto spoke as he approached the group you are attracting all the attention which isn't good in the exams he turned towards nuto I see you decided to come before Naruto could respond Kiba budded into a freight to come nuto a nuto rolled his eyes again I wasn't sure if the team could do it Kiba and yes Kabuto I did thanks to your advice Kiba snorted in response you are the weakest I wouldn't worry about the team Naruto successfully repressed the urge to prove kba was wrong Naruto khun's worries are founded I failed the last exam because the team did not work together oh no kuto San you did the exams before Sakura asked the buo laughed sheepishly yes I did this would be my seventh attempt ah losers stick together I see kibba after to Caputo ignore kibba he has a big Troublesome ego since you have been in the exams before could you tell us more shikimo asked trying to gather information to make it less Troublesome of course anything to help a fellow koha ninja Kabuto responded causing the nine rookie ninja to gather around him the exam is usually in three or four parts with the last part being a public event depending on how many contestants make it through these will be oneon-one team matches since I went through the exam multiple times I gathered data on the possible enemies anybody you want to know about zacu noara rock Le and yamaki Naruto Sask demanded to the surprise of the rest why would you want to know about that loser Sask you could beat him easily Kiba commented before Kabuto could start ignoring the interruption sabaku noara 14 years old he is from sunna so I don't have too much information surprisingly few D ranks 12C rank missions and wow 2p rank missions most jenin don't even do one it also notes he has quite some control over sand must be an unknown bloodline ability he is the son of the current kazakage pretty impressive arudo wondered why Sask was interested in the boy apparently having missed something the marks around the boy's eyes unsettled him it reminded him of his own whisker marks he got from caoi I need to ask caoi about that later I hope it isn't too grumpy broccoli 14 years old he is koha so I got more information on him he is quite good in t Jutsu and and what is this Kabuto frown apparently no talent in Ninjutsu or jinjutsu you don't see that often his teammates are haiji and tenton their Sensei is mid guy as a team he did a wow quite a large amount of d rank missions eight C rank missions and a single B rank one he has no bloodline abilities and his Heritage is unknown as he is an orphan probably because of the caoi attack 13 years ago sasu grunted an annoyance the card giving no more information than before last but not least uzamaki Naruto 13 years old you know where he is from average scores into Jutsu that's weird despite his massive chakra reserves his Ninjutsu knowledge is limited because of those reserves his jinjutsu is Abyssal you also know who his teammates are his Sensei is had a Kakashi as a team he did a number of D ranks and a c rank turned a rank Nudo also did a solo a rank Mission his cabuto recited before a shriek from Sakura interrupted solo a rank Mission no way Naruto Baka has done that I did do that Sakura Naruto said tiredly getting sick of people putting his hard work down ah what did you do then I am sure sasu would have done better than the do Sakura remember the regulations Naruto responded getting more irritated but regulations you just didn't do that mission did you all missions above beer an are not allowed to be discussed in a public place the penalty for doing so is decided by a board depending on the information released Naruto recited use that forehead of yours pinky in the anger of being put in her place Sakura laugh flashed out but Naro handily dodged before it could escalate Sho interfered fighting now is not logical you know why because that could get your team expelled he put down plainly asakura simmered down as I wanted to say before I was interrupted Kabuto started dryly Naruto has yet to activate the supposedly uzamaki bloodline his Heritage is deeply classified Hiba was once again to speak up uzamaki bloodline he is just a clan less dope although the rest did not nod they did agree in their minds Naro meanwhile looked betrayed you knew about a Kabuto why didn't you tell me sorry Naruto K I only read about it recently I just read that the yamaki can make their chakra solid somehow even if I told you what could you do with it Naruto sighed and raised his hands in surrender you are right again Kabuto sorry for snapping at you Kabuto merely waved it off no problem Naruto K I understand the Proctors will come soon I am rejoining my team right on Q the doors slammed open and in a giant puff of smoke a large group of shwing led by a j and appeared all right maggots listen and shut up the first part of the chew and exam start now enter this room and take your seat with your name on it those who fail to follow these simple instructions will be thrown out but flare the man turned around walking into a large classroom many tables formed long lines each table with a single pencil and a paper on it the chewing and hopefuls rushing after him quickly scrambling to take the correct seat Naro quickly found his own seat and found Hinata would sit beside him gracing the girl which caused her to blush when she arrived he couldn't help but remember their first meeting when he Frau off some bullies who had it out for her sadly before they could chat her caretaker came in and took Hinata away the next time they met was much later in the classroom they chatted quite a bit that day despite Hinata's stutter the next day when he approached her she could only stutter out not allowed to talk to you before shuffling off figuring out it was her parents telling her to stay away from again nuto respected her decision yet after a while they started to have short talks after class he suspected Hinata had a crush on him but he acted oblivious reproaching her feelings with smiles and other kind gestures without actually talking about it afraid he would land the girl into trouble if he did reproach her feelings openly he was certain the girl knew about the fox he carried around she once spent a full week constantly stalking him before coming to what he suspected was the correct conclusion he wasn't the fox because she spend more time talking to him afterwards despite the harshness of the punishments coming from her clan when she stayed away too long for that he was eternally grateful to her aside from her only Kabuto was genuine with his friendship the Hokage was a deceiving old man with his grandfather act heruka kept his distance despite his claim to be a friend and the people at the Raymond stand merely served him because they had standards but otherwise did not interact closely with the demon boy you can start now iiki shouted snapping nuto out of his introspective Hast he flipped the form over on Instinct and was consequently flabbergasted by the first question and the second and the third it's time for the 10th question before you take the question you need to make a choice you either take the question and if you get it wrong you will not be able to take the exams ever again or you can decide not to take the question and walk out of that door with your team taking the exams next time the moment of stun silence permeated the room before the first participant shouted you can't do that I can magot a bicki roared back stunning the participant back his chair people did the exams before a girl complained a smug smirk made its way on Bicky scarred face well those exams didn't have me his smile turned bloodthirsty so ready to lose your chance forever becoming chuin that broke the girl and she fled out of room her team soon called out to follow her nutk mind was whirling never take the exams again can he really do that even then there other ways to get promoted a bluff he then felt like slapping himself again chewing in need to make these kind decisions for their team them going into situations without having the full picture he saw hanata a fidget her self-confidence not prepar prepared for this kind of onslaught he quickly scooted closer to her and softly whispered it's a bluff and not achan and there are other ways to get promoted the girl blush deep rad and nodded weakly arudo smiled to himself happy here he paid her help then the smile dropped realizing his pink-haired teammate would probably forfeit herself he quickly Whirled around seeing her slowly raise her hand while she looked at him he bristled at the implication giving up because I am not ready thean shot the girl of the nastiest glare he could muster taking her back back causing her to drop her hand holding the glare for a moment to make sure she didn't get any ideas he turned back towards icki keeping a close eye on both girls more teams dropped out and after a while no more left last chance maggots abcki boomed confidently anyone no very well you all pass once again the room was silent before another uproar came from the remaining participants Nudo flashed a big smile at hanada who once again blushed deeply and nodded her thanks nuto turned back paying attention to ai's explanation and was happy he was thoughts were correct intrigued he saw the scarring on III's skull once again punching him with the reality of being a Shinobi before icki could finish his explanation however a dark blur bash Through the Windows a large black Banner with red letters saying the sexy second examiner mitashi anko the woman anko surveyed the room a bit more than I expected icki getting soft icki snorted we got a talented Bunch this year enko laughed well that doesn't matter I will cut these numbers in half after anko's disturbing statement she would cut the numbers in half she ordered the group to head towards training ground 44 as the different genen and teams scrambled towards the training ground Naruto approached Sakura Sakura he called out causing the pink-haired girl to turn around meeting a frigid glare from Naruto if you ever dare to make a decision for me he left the threat to the girl imagination he quick paing showing she had one before she suddenly recovered are you threading me Naruto Baka she hissed Naruto repressed the urge to slap her Sakura you might be on top of the class because of your bookwork but remember who took down one of of the demon Brothers remember who took down Haku while you were shivering like the little girl you are out of the entire class you are the weakest B the two had their argument Sask approached and watched on silently not truly interested but agreeing nonetheless Sakura glanced towards him at the hope perite would jump in and saf her sasu just grunted hn we need to hurry up before setting off again Sakura gulp once again left alone with the teammate her mother called a monster she was so used to berading the boy she never thought he would bite back like he did now frankly it unnerved her to the core Nudo stopped glaring he is right letun go he spoke coldly his usual cheer far far gone Sakura shivered perhaps Mother was right and quickly followed the boys upon arriving they saw the scantily clad Proctor eating Dango waiting for the last few stragglers to arrive behind her was a large Forest of gigantic trees a massive fence keeping the wild nature contained welcome to the 44th training ground also known as The Forest of death a well-timed Roar from the forest punctuated statement anko shivered in Delight from the fear emitted by frightened jenin her happiness dampened when she saw a certain blonde jenin sobering up she remembered her job now she started holding up two Scrolls in the second exam your team will receive one of these Scrolls your mission is to retrieve the other one by any means necessary there are 24 teams meaning at best 12 will pass aen and starting seizing each other up weily now understanding her statement she made in the classroom you are forbidden to open these Scrolls until you reach the tower in the center of the Forest you can only proceed from there if you have both scrolls the time limit for this assignment is 5 days she ignored the shouts of outrage you are not allowed to leave the training ground no matter what you will only be coming out after 5 days alive or in a body bag she finished with a bloodthirsty grin in order to retrieve your team scroll you need to fill out this form where you basically absolve koha from any responsibility what happens to you inside the forest if you have any questions well that's too bad do try to spill that delicious Red blood of your she finished her bloodthirsty grin growing ever wider the teams quickly filled in their forms and handed them over for their scroll hiding it somewhere on their person while walking towards their assigned gate team seven soon stood in front of gate 27 with their Heaven scroll where the loudspeakers attached to the gate ano's voice came in the second part of the exam starts in 3 to1 start upon Pawn start the gates flew open and each team darted into the forest predictably Sask pulled up ahead implying he would take the leadership role Naruto narrowed his at the aa's blatant attempt to be superior again no he chastised himself best to play along for now this exam is too dangerous for us to fight each other making his decision Naruto fell back to the rear since akura wanted to close to her precious asuk Kan forming a textbook formation meanwhile at gate 20 the team of Kusa jenon also shot into the forest as soon they were out of sight of the fence two of the jenin Disappeared in puffs of smoke the remaining jenon also was clouded in Smoke and soon revealed a familiar reded now where are you son she whispered quietly to herself quite excited see her son's power for herself she had read the reports and could quite clearly see that her boy achievements were written off and time to find out if Makoto's boy is worth saving forming several hand seals in a puff of smoke several man-sized snakes made their appearance she held out a piece of orange cloth for them to taste one of the first things I am going to teach my son is how to dress properly she mused to herself as her minion slithered away Nudo was happy his play along tactic worked the AA was thank smart enough not to L his superiority in the forest and led the team quietly the pink-haired groupy thankfully mimicked his silent lead suddenly midleap Naruto's danger sense tingled but before he could land was blown into a tree by a violent wind Naruto groaned in pain as he attached himself to the tree before he could fall down show yourself and face the aiite saso demanded he was on a branch and managed to keep himself on it with Shakra Naruto quickly scanned the environment for his other teammate and saw her whimpering several trees to his left cradling her arm he couldn't judge from this distance but he highly doubted it was broken if there was enough force in that blast to break bones he would be knocked out by now I missed a familiar voice called out Naruto let fre and O facing a jonan was not on his plan today why are you here Naruto shouted Sask had whipped around to face Naruto you know her dope we need to run Sask she is a Jon and Naruto responded keeping his eyes on their foe the's usual scowl deepened not taking the advice kindly shut up dope don't tell me what to do Theo gritted his teeth really really hating the title dope the woman raised an eyebrow truly took after you father did you sasuka I was hoping to have a little chat with Naruto K here why would you be interested in that weakling I am in a chasuk shouted if it wouldn't take his view away from the enemy Naruto would have face palmed don't provoke her she is stronger than us we need to retreat Naruto shouted again trying to make sasuki sense it didn't work the AA once again took his eyes off IR keep your eyes on your enemy AA the woman taunted with sasu temporally distracting her Naruto silently formed a shadow clone to carry away Sakura but as the Clone landed next to his teammate a blindingly fast kunai from the woman destroyed his clone a trying to run away naroon are you really a coward narudo withheld his temper at the insult but his anger already awoken his inner Beast who took in the event silently better a coward and Alive than a hero and die uselessly the woman smiled in response but before she could reply SAS vented his anger damn you [ __ ] feel honored I will face you before he could do more the woman blurred in front of him and with another spinning kick launched him into another tree nuto rapidly leapt away forming multiple Shadow clones trying to surround the woman well yet again another clone tried to sneak away with Sakura who was now rigid with Terror the woman flared her chakra and a dark feeling settled across the jennin this woman is powerful sassu thought with wide eyes she will do to Bear my Offspring his mind switching from Revenge to rebuild the clan Sask blazed his Sharingan you strong woman submit to the AA Clan and bear the Next Generation you will be richly rewarded he spoke with authority the rest gaped at the Declaration what kha said flatly looking at the AA like he sprung a second head Naruto was sure the woman's kicks broke the aa's brain but happily took the distraction to haul Sakura out of the fighting Zone you heard me become my first wife and together we will rebuild the elitea clan SAS spoke like it was the most logical thing in the world likeo Chan your son is completely bunkers kha thought then her pranking mind set in who and who says you are strong enough for me you weak little AAS were destroyed by a single man she taunted I will kill Itachi sassu cwed leaping across trying to hit kha who grabbed his wrist and flung him back into the tree he came from you are far too weak to kill Itachi as you are now kha spoke mockingly sasu glared with his Sharingan still trying to stand back up but she started teasingly if you master this power I might consider your proposal and with that she launched a snake with lighting speed to Sask the snake biting into his shoulder close to his neck a large seal forming using a snake is so much easier than yourself never understood Orie did it that way kha mused to herself as the seal finished forming the target screaming in pay before falling unconscious a curse attracted her attention to her Target of the Excursion at least it isn't as bad as teia Chan she thought with a frown ignoring the odd interplay of emotions on the woman's face Naruto quickly cooked up his Escape Plan using his favorite tactic mobit with Shadow clones forming the familiar cross-and sign several dozen copies jumped into existence quickly joining its Brethren surrounding the impassive woman before charging her so many narut Kashima spoke huskily a couple of clones blanched at the implication but were soon dispelled with their Brethren as the woman moved an intricate Dance of Death as soon the smoke cleared kha saw she was alone era my boy is smart a grin made its way on her face but I to see how strong he as she quickly leapt forward tracking the path the boy took in his Escape aruto tried to catch his breath both his teammates still in la la land Sask from whatever the woman placed on him Sakura went out like a light when the woman flared a chakra he was grateful for that however he doubted he could haul her around otherwise he managed to find some decent cover and despite the encounter still held unto their scroll with his companions hidden away Naruto finally relaxed to early sadly there you are Naruto K Naruto world to face the voice and quickly ducked before her foot embedded itself in his face rolling away to keep his distance he pmed a kunai and took a defensive stance what do you want He barked tired of being toyed with the woman slightly tilted her head observing him as a specimen in the lab ER I just want to see how strong you are to see if you are strong enough to learn more about your clan she formed a shadow clone who walked into the hiding spot Naruto stashed his teammates away ER don't worry about them I just want to have your full attention she said catching his concerned glance I am surprised you care so much about them they do not treat you kindly Naruto growled I don't care about them but if the mighty AA is hurt I am the one in trouble the woman's playful demeanor evaporated why do you stay with this Village then she asked because I have nowhere else to go Nudo replied tiredly slumping into himself despite the situation his mind went over the option of running away more often than he liked but with nowhere to go he knew he wouldn't survive don't worry Naruto K you mother will come and get you soon she spoke with surprising kindness Naro stood rigid where is she he demanded I will tell you if you are strong enough K replied inwardly hurting to string her son along but revealing herself to early would hurt them both and her plan in the end Theo face turned angry and he spoke inwardly caoi give me your power he demanded his inner beast and he felt the Beast MK I told you would beg me for power the Beast responded smugly Naruto would have rolled his eyes yes you are right now could you give me two Tales of your power we both want to survive this and work with me please a growl communicated the beast's Ascent the red chakra soon wrapped itself around Naruto Thea frowned not expecting her boy to reach for the beast's chakra straight away before dodging left to avoid get clawed apart as the cified Naruto shot forward a quick game of mouse and Cat formed Ken's frowning all the way did he lose control already she wondered as she landed on another Branch nuto soon proved her wrong mid leaped towards her his hand shot down yet the chakra claws remained while he formed the hand seal for the shadow clone technique K's eyebrows shot upwards in Surprise as suddenly two clones poofed into existence grabbed unto her while the chakra arms doubled in size rearing above Naruto as they prepared to Shredder khaa smiled looks like he is in control and had a plan as the claws descended she suddenly twisted and turned tossing the Clones away in a burst in strength before using the replacement Jutsu with an unfortunate log which was shredded and burned by cao's power K's smile widened as consequently escaped multiple attempts on her life by nark clever use of combinations with a limited Jutsu he knew somebody is approaching despite the barrier kha thought as she suddenly sensed the approach of a person despite the seals she placed to have some privacy while she chazzed the boy down quickly dashing forward avoiding impalement by the chakra tail she whipped out a seal from her poach and slammed it unto nutk forehead immediately the cao's Shakra receded and nuto slumped into Dreamland quickly caught by kha before he could fall to the forest floor she smiled softly at her child such a control over the fox's chakra at your aged Nan she praised softly placing the boy safely on a branch she unsealed a scroll and stuffed it down his jacket hiding it from view she also used that opportunity to do a quick health check on her son and took a blood sample a bit small for his age either his uzamaki blood is strong or he wasn't wellfed as a baby she scowled certain it was the second reason nothing I cannot fix he'll be as tall as his sperm donor standing back up to face the Intruder she saw ano land arachim Maru the woman shouted outraged kha quickly switched her Persona kukuku ano Chan is that how you greet your former Master she mimicked rimu why are you what do you want anko demanded hotly while she coiled herself to attack kukuku I just came here to give the a a gift do not cancel the exams or face my wrath Kushina spoke before allowed the mud clone to crumble she herself already well hidden in the trees enko cursed up a storm as soon entered the hide out the anko saw Sask still knocked out sweating badly at the spot she expected she saw a seal it looks like the cursed seal yet very different a new version not able to do much more she quickly inspected the girl beside the AA aside from some nasty bruises she didn't see anything wrong but a sharp slap she rudely awakened Sakura what happened she demanded from the scared and confused girl I I don't know she stuttered out just that the scary woman attacked us she was so strong and Co blinked and suddenly realized that J was indeed a woman how the hell did that happen filing it away for later she refocused on the girl stay here and watch your teammate I will bring your other teammate soon and with that she exited The Hideout jumping over to the still knocked out nuto her distaste for him took over once again taking out auni she briefly considered ending his life right here but that would lead to questions from his pink-haired teammate and if she killed her investigation would happen and she would be interrogated sing she ripped off the seal on his forehead groaning awake he stood face to face with the Proctor what happened she demanded Naruto blinked trying to focus behind the woman hidden in the trees he saw familiar reded mouthing lie that woman attacked us out of nowhere did something with Sasso that formed so black thing on his shoulder he blinked realizing he did not sense his connection with caoi I went berserk on her with the fox's power did I kill her he asked innocently his mind frantically trying to make up a convincing lie you didn't arachim knocked you out with his seal Naruto blinked his curi it blazing seals can do that anko merely shrugged your team is hidden away there she pointed roughly towards The Hideout despite his interference the exam is still ongoing duto groaned in dismay and anko soon disappeared into the forest as he stood up he felt two items hidden in his clothing one labeled Earth the other labeled uzamaki Nudo quickly unfurled the uzamaki scroll and saw several seals in it each labeled his quick scan revealed history bloodline seal Basics there were also some instructions which revealed how to unseal the contents and how to reseal them quickly closing the scroll and stuffing it away in his jumpsuit he made his way towards the hide out where he saw his pink teammate fussing over the still sweating and tossing Sask I am touched that she cares so much about me and pays so much attention to her environment Naruto thought how is he nearly jumping in Surprise Sakura turned towards nuto I don't know she replied pinching his nose about the enormous amount of mistake she just made like failing to verify he really is Naruto standard procedure for treating those who are harmed by unknown means and she is supposed to be the best female student Naruto mused Riley do you think he can be moved he asked instead stuffing his irritation away she huffed and why would you shut up Naruto growled use that enormous forehead of yours and realize it's an earth scroll then try to make the connection we already have in heaven one from there you ought to be able to connect why I am asking if he can be moved and you really should follow the noise protocol for when you are in enemy territory or did you forget those rules already missed stop scores the girl Rose to her feet and rushed him intent to clubber him with her fists as she swung he caught her fist Sakura swung with her other arm which Naruto also caught using his strength he pinned the girl against the wall listen up Sakura you are the weakest out of us I saved you when arachim knocked you and sassu cowed I am trying to make sure we survive this exam now go secure your sassu k for transport while I figure out where that damn Tower is understood the girl nodded frightened realizing nuto no longer was willing to play punching bag nuto released her and marched out still simmering with anger he quickly climbed to the top of one of the taller trees scanning the environment he gave his thanks to Lady Luck for allowing him to spot the top of a building meaning during his wild flight from that Odo woman led him near the tower as he re-entered The Hideout he Sakura had properly bound Sask for transport and without comment made two clones to haul him the tower is 2 or 3 hours traveling from here letun go before it's completely dark the girl nodded meekly and and followed him their Transit towards the tower was uneventful Naruto skillfully scouted ahead and dodged an ambush from an ambitious team this forced them to take a long route around them however and the night had properly set in now the spider forced nap earlier the day Naruto saw Sakura was exhausted and that Tower is further away than I thought or I spent too much time making sure I am on the correct route with Sask still knocked out Naruto admitted he was forced to make Camp finding a suitable hallow to hide in he sent the girl off to sleep ignoring ing he complaints about his lack of sense of direction and timing youd think saving her life would make her at least be grateful Naruto thought as he and his clones finished up setting some bait by the time his first shift was over he saw the girl was still out cold the AA was stopped sweating and mumbling and now lay silent but at least the bastard is still alive near the end of the second shift morning already approaching he shook Sakura awake the girl seemed on the verge of complaining but a glare stopped her in her tracks after a few silent words and where the traps were Naruto finally laid down to sleep only to be rudely awakened by a kick into his side acting on Instinct he rolled sidewards before a second blow could land hastily scrambling to his feet he was greeted by a maniacal Sask who was laughing clad in wisps of black chakra you're finally awake do fight me sassu cackled charging forwards Naruto Naruto would have stared wide-eyed at the AA if he wasn't trying to beat him into a pulp in steady he dived out of the way avoiding the charge stand still and taste my new powers weakling fight me sasu demanded Naruto was still trying to make sense what happened and wondered where Sakura was after leaping clear of the bullheaded AA again he saw the girl just stood there staring Sakura he bellowed getting her attention what the hell is going on the Gir babbled something incoherently causing Nudo to curse under his breath as he avoided another bull charge from Sask stand still you clanless loser Sask bellowed starting to form hand seals knowing the AA would do something involving fire but Unsure how the black ch would interfere or boost the Jutsu Naruto quickly formed several Shadow clones timing to the moment the AA closed his eyes to belch up the fire he jumped up boosted further by the Clones launching him to the underside of a branch further up he quickly clambers around it making himself invisible for the AA below him he heard the AA and San cackling laughing his victory over Naruto Naruto carefully edged towards the edge of the branch peeking down below Sakura the insane AA shouted the dark wisps of chakra moving more irly by the second where is the heaven scroll he demanded shocking the girl out of her stuper narudo had both of them sasu crazed his eyebrow both of them doesn't matter with this new power I will kill the competition easily with that he stomped off not looking back to his female teammate before he got very far however he once again collapsed like a puppet without strings sensing the opportunity Naruto leapt from his hiding place landing near SASS and started binding him up as a prisoner without further Ado Naruto you're alive Sakura shrieked as she recovered from nutk Sudden appearance Sakura pack the stuff we left in the Hallow that isn't burnt to crisp but sasu Kani started to protest move Sakura Naruto snapped that idiot pumped his chakra into the air like there was no tomorrow and to help the competition find us he lit a nice house-sized Fireball but the girl out of sight Naruto stopped his work on the AA for a moment to check if he had all the Scrolls if that bastard burned the uzamaki scroll I am killing him Naruto thought Darkly Naruto however did not have to commit murder Scrolls still on his person their camping gear was not so lucky however all burned to crisp by the AA overpowered Fireball all right let's go he ordered Sakura weakly nodded still overwhelmed by everything that happened Theo landed in front of the large doorway at the bottom of the tower at least the last leg of the journey went without interruption Naruto thought as the team entered the tower they were to their disappointment greeted by a large empty room at the far end of it there was a riddle Naruto shot an hopeful glance toward Sakura hoping that her brain would be useful to the team for a change Sakura you have an idea what we must do now he asked and in return he got a headshake from the girl he cast his mind back to when the instructions happened wondering if he missed something important we have the Heaven and Earth Scrolls what does it mean with if you lack lack what then he felt like slapping himself you are forbidden to open these Scrolls until you reach the tower in the center of the forest you can only proceed from there if you have both scrolls anko's voice echoed through his memories he took both scrolls out of his jumpsuit Su open it on my signal on second thought make sure you throw yours over mine Sakura looked at him like he was crazy what do you mean Naruto be she caught herself as Naruto shot her a glare D do it he said coldly following his command she threw her scroll over the one he laid out on the ground and in a poof heruka stood before them heruka Sensei Naruto shouted putting on his happy mask without thinking causing Sakura to look at him strangely Nudo it is good to see you are all right anko already informed us what happened the hul we'll see you too soon Naro nodded Sakura looked unsure but also nodded after placing Sask in the medic's care both Jen and we soon presented to the Hokage and a group of jonen which included their fellow class members Sensei and the Proctors of the exam Naruto was both glad and unhappy Sacura was interviewed first now that he could properly sit down and Center himself he realized he failed to keep a check on his temper during the exam so far and started to lash out if she was bitter she could spin a tail that would land in trouble it didn't help he also had to quickly cook up a story on how he faced arachim Maru or whoever that woman was if memory served correctly arachim Maru was a guy so unless he was into crossdressing that woman couldn't be rimu Sakura came out way to quickly for his tastes but he understood she was knocked out of the fight very quickly and C entered the room faced with plenty of faces holding barely concealed disdain Hey jigi nuto spoke cheerfully hello Naruto K here is and responded warmly can you tell us what happened in the forest sure jigi after we entered the forest sassu took the lead after a while we were attacked by this weird woman with a wind attack that knocked me into the tree she wanted to Naruto spun his tail trying to stick as close as the truth as he could but he was interrupted by his Sensei zakura said you seemed to recognize her he spoke coldly Naruto nodded vigorously yay I met her the day before the exams started he turned his face into a frown she convinced me to take the exams I thought the team wasn't ready his face turned worried she also said nearly the entire world knows about well you know he finished patting the seal on his stomach Theo noted heris and looked genuinely surprised at the last part effectively making the assembled group forget the rest only icki thought something was off that is worrisome news Naruto K I shall find out if that is true harisen spoke kindly now what did she want she wanted to talk to me at least she said that sasu kept shouting and attacking but she knocked him around without a worried atabo she then used a snake to bite him in the shoulder that gave him this weird Mark with that dark chakra playing the suitable am of emotions on his face I threw a load of Shadow clones at her and ran off with Sakura and Sask I thought I had escaped but she was suddenly on top of me I barely avoided getting my head knocked off Naruto put his best fearful look on his face she also made a clone that went into The Hideout I found I was so afraid she would kill the team jigi so I pulled on CA ub's chakra and went berserk on her he looked down on the ground shamefully for using cao's chakra I so should be getting a W for this Naruto thought in the back of his mind you did the best asked you could Naruto con heares and spoke encouragingly what happened next I don't know jigi Naruto responded still looking at the ground I woke up with that Proctor lady interrogating me she said I was knocked out by a seal afterwards I took Sakura and sasu towards the tower after I found out she left an earth scroll in my jumpsuit for some reason we had to avoid a team so we couldn't make it before night set in he looked up again figing worry after I spend most of the night standing guard I woke up Sakura and let her take over the next thing I know sasu is trying to kill me Naruto displayed his finest horor face and in the edge of his vision he saw Kakashi's disappointment bastard after he thought he killed he fell over again and I dragged him here I see nuto come now I need you to remember the best you can did that woman ever introduce herself as a rimu nuto shook his head she called herself kinaku Odo when I met her here is inside another dead end still my old student was interested in learning every Jutsu but the curse marenko saw did not look like anything she had what is going on here why would this woman or rimu want the exams to continue what is their game here dismissing the boy he looked at the assembled group what do you think enko spoke up first take the AA out of the exams and keep him inside koha until we know what this new curse seal can do Kakashi bristled and ruin his chances to become chuin anko Shrugged he can be promoted later if he is a good as you claim to be although the kid story say otherwise she jabbed before a fight could break out in the tower office taking him out of the exam could incur whatever wrath rimu or that woman has planned furthermore the political Fallout would be dangerous for his other teammate and it would be bad for koha overall only guy looked unhappy most of the other Joon and were rather uncaring if something happened to the caoi boy harisen raised his hand to silence anko I know it's dangerous anko but perhaps we can use the AA to find out what arachim wants if it's really the Sharingan or perhaps a foil for his true objective both Kakashi and anko looked unhappy at that for different reasons but not a asent now I need some ideas he we can prepare for whatever rachim Maru can do hereis in spoke and the group started brainstorming Naruto quickly made his way down the tower intent to find a silent room where he could meditate he needed to sort out his thoughts he was happy Sakura didn't use the opportunity to complain about his actions he really wanted to read the uzamaki scroll and he still needed to chat with his tenant about the gar guy speaking about the devil he saw a mop of red hair came around the corner and soon stood face to face with a Stoke boy why does have the word love on his forehead Naruto asked to himself can I help you he asked cheerfully Bara just looked at him silently for a moment before speaking our fight will be interesting make me feel alive when we do he turned around leaving a confused and worried Nudo behind shaking off the disturbing experience Naruto soon find an empty room and started meditating deciding to contact the fox first before the Beast got grumpy for not being the top thing on his list he drew ever so slightly on its chakra do not get hit by that seal again the Beast roared in his mind clearly displeased by what happened its effects were most unpleasant for me do not let it happen again understood nuto could only nod dumbly taking off balance by the sudden demand that did not involve setting it free or burning koha as for the reded boy I am certain he contains my youngest brother a chibi my brother is probably corrupting the boy he was always a crazy one Naruto felt like looking outside to see if the pigs were flying because the caoi spoke nearly fondly at the last part a deep snow reminded him the Beast could read his mind start reading those Scrolls I am interested in what the woman wants you to read and learn don't worry I will keep the link open Naruto showed his Ascent by fishing out the uzamaki scroll learn about my Clan's history first or my Clan's bloodline Naruto asked himself hour is far more important than history arudo chuckled at the beast's predictable response and unsealed the bloodline scroll he saw several Family Lines with the main line encircled in red does that mean I am a main branch member the main branch solid chakra release nearly always expresses itself in the form of chains the affinity and latent blood lines the user has initially form the shape of the chains users with an earth Affinity will have rocky extrusions on their chains users with a wind Affinity will have chains with sharp edges water Affinity will result in and teardrop shaped extrusions with the chain being cold well and fire Affinity will result in a spiky chain which will be slightly warm and I find out about my Affinity as a bonus sweet Naruto thought to himself as a big smile made a way to his face the main branch bloodline is active from birth the general bloodline trademarks as long life and increased healing capacities will show drawing out the main branch chains for use is a progress of different training steps nuto spend the rest of the days mostly alone both working on his bloodline and reading his clan long and glorious history how it thrived and grew during the bloody Clan Warrior how it absorbed different bloodline using Clans into itself effectively forming the first hidden village a decade before the senju and ITA formed koha the uzamaki clan aided them in this progress due their longtime partnership with the senju clan and of course the fall of yuz zashi aakar during the second Shinobi War they're being L on both by that woman and gray-haired boy it was an hour before the second exam would end a lot of teams made it through including all the rookies the team with Lee in it the sound team and to Naruto happiness Kabuto's Team Naruto also heard several senior ninja talk about preliminaries so he suspected he was going to fight again soon Naruto shook out of his meditation do you mean with that he asked confused the loud snort reverberated through his mind first gray-haired boy tells you to keep an open mind the next day a woman arrives who knows a lot about things hidden from you and conveniently the next day gray-haired boy confirms it then the woman appears again feeding you more information I wonder how the gray-haired boy will back up what you know Naruto could only cringe at the cold hard logic caou be offered and was once again reminded that behind the usual anger was a cunning worthy of the legends that described it lattery won't impress me muttering about mind reading foxes nuto refocused on his meditation his thoughts were however plagued by ca's Logic is kuto really my friend Naruto wondered perhaps he is caoi spoke almost kindly he certainly does not work for the monkey Summoner so these people most likely from Odo are trying to recruit me silence greeted him the Beast having had enough conversation for the day Naro realized mediating would not work with the subject on his mind and hoped he could control his temp soon senior ninja started to gather the participants guiding them to a large hexagonal room one side of which held a massive statue depicting the ram hand seal as the teams lined up the Hokage the Proctors and the teams Jon and Sensei showed up the Odo Sensei missing well done on Surviving the second exam anko praised the Hokage will now speak to you so pay attention thank you anko now before we start the next part I will tell you about the true reason of these exams true reason the collective hopefuls asked themselves by would allies those neutral to us or even our enemies participate in these exams the Hokage asked the group and subsequently spun a tale about replacement of War friendship and show of strength this exam allows the villages to show their strength of their ninja it only has meaning because you risk your life in it the girl from Lee's team shouted but if we die how does that promote friendship hiding and losing lives feeling each other's strengths and respect that is the Friendship of the Shinobi world the Hokage answered arudo frowned at the statement deaths and losses will only lead to bitter feelings exhibit a the resident lasted he thought to himself as he watched Sask who stood stiffly remember your Village's Prestige is on the line now he here will explain the next part the Hokage spoke in a grandfatherly tone the gester man coughed hello everyone I am jecko hay because either the previous two parts were to easy or you are a talented Bunch we have to many participants for the third part of the exam to correct this there will be one-on-one preliminaries for those who do not feel ready or ar to winded you can leave now this will not affect your teammates thebo glanced at his Sensei a black-haired pale woman with slitted blue eyes who gave a slight nod he raised his hand I am not rested well enough for fighting a glanced down to his paperwork yakushi Kabuto correct hi very well you can leave now Theo walked towards Naruto good luck Naruto K Naruto just looked at him puzzled why are you quitting you look fine Kabuto smiled warmly that's because I am a good medic but I am in no state for fighting Naruto frowned you don't know until you try he tried to encourage Kabuto chuckled in response I am glad you have faith in me Naruto K but perhaps next time and with that he left the room my work is done Kash Sama I see you at The Invasion nuto K while the two were talking the Proctors discussed the only lever this isn't the first time he quit before the last part of the exam hey noted as he saw Kabuto's information this is the seventh time he quit seven times what kind of record does he have anko asked he didn't do much missions but he works at the hospital still strange he isn't pushing himself further he responded with a shrug I should talk to that young man a bicky note and the other Proctor shivered at the word talk anyone else hay asked Sask suddenly twitched in pain his seal flaring earning him a glare from anko Sakura stepped towards him trying to convince him to quit earning her a death glare from the AA like Naruto said don't make decisions for me he growled at her P watched byplay seeing that the AA would be staying he decided to proceed since no one else is quitting we will proceed everybody please head up to the balconies the screen he pointed to a large black screen with a word versus boldly in the middle will tell you who your opponent is he waited until all the people present made their way up the rules are simple you will on the position I indicate and you are not allowed to use any techniques grab any weapon until I give the signal the fight will continue until one participant is knocked out forfeits or killed or when I interfere to stop a what I judge is a killing blow are there any questions silence greeted him and he signaled for the board to select the first opponents the chasuk from koha versus aad mroy from koha before sassu could make his way down Kakashi grabbed his shoulder and spoke in soft tones if you lose control of the cursed seal I will interfere sasu grunted as a reply Kakashi I smiled now go and show them the might of the AA Clan are you sure you want to let him fight anko asked as sasu took his position his opponent already waiting M akaashi spoke heun be fine are you ready ha asked getting two nods in return begin he shouted leaping backwards to get clear sasu tried a straight punch which yo caught and held on too trying to break free sasu lashed out with his other hand which yo also caught Sask started to struggle to break free feeling his chakra leave him you are draining my chakra he shouted yorway merely grinded him wickedly I will not lose I will not lose sassu chanted in his mind suddenly pulling hard while lay a low kick at Yo's Shin unbalancing him allowing sasu to break free sasu panted as yoro slowly circled him looking for an opening to drain the iihad dry yoro lurched forward sasu tried to dodge but the masked man was too fast in his Panic he ignored Kakashi's warning and dug into the power of the seal on his neck the chakra was foul enough to make yoro recoil giving Sask an opening for a furious T Jutsu assault slightly empowered by the small Bashi he is using the seano hist mama he has it under control Kakashi responded unconcerned anko hissed but knew she would be in trouble if she interfered then grapple attempt from Yo forc the fighters away from each other both now panting heavily it is nearly over assum commented to his team saso suddenly darted forward dodging under the grabbing hand of yoy kicking the man upwards he jumped after him and with a heel drop while shouting lion combo sassu kicked yway into the unforgiving Earth knocking him out winner itasasu by knockout the public look bam Kabuto's teammate nearly had him looked like it was Lee's move he used must have used that copy eye of his nuto thought Kakashi appeared next to Sask well done Sask now let's take care of the seal teleporting away with Sask and toe so interested in the rest of the team hypocrite who abandon their teammates or lower than scum was it Naruto mused meanwhile the board spun again the buum auu from Odo versus abiram sho from koha please make your way down hey declared zaku leap down while Sho calmly walked his way down zaku used this opportunity to quickly stretch while secretly double-checking his modifications left arm good right arm good this guy is going down zaku thought with a smirk Sho stood imp passively are you both ready hay asked then go zaku rushed forward intend to defeat Shino with t Jutsu Shino released his insects who slowly started to surround the fighting pair you should surrender you know why because you are surrounded by my insects you wish I were SP decapitation zaku exclaimed quickly spinning around while releasing a high power burst of air from his palms she no ducked Under The Cutting winds but noted his insect allies were not so lucky Bing into his insect Army Reserves he ordered his insects to clog up the tubing of zaku's modification Sho shot forward to prevent another shot taken at him and buying time for his insects to complete their task after a short hand to hand fight Sho leapt backwards his insects informing him their task is complete I have one he declared sted confidently as a cloud of insects Rose around him swarming its way to zaku zaku aimed his arms at Sho and the Swarm before raising an eyebrow a twinge of chakra informing him what is wrong I see clogged my tubna lowering his arms he quickly made several hand seals most Kohan in recognized ending in the Tor seal pton Kakak no Jutsu he exclaimed belching a wall of fire Sho leapt backwards avoiding getting burned but his insects were not quick enough zaku noticed he was getting low on chak but he bluffed his strength anything else you can do he said cockily Cho raised an eyebrow before raising his arm Proctor I forfeit you know why my colony is nearly wiped out winner by forfeit abumi zaku zaku bowed to the crowd before making his way up to his teammates who congratulated him on his win Shino received praise from his own Sensei for a well-fought fight well Shino and zaku had their match Kakashi took sasu to an isolated room prepared for sealing the boy's mark on his neck he was nearly finished when he heard a soft cuko behind him spinning around quickly he stood face to face with Kina now disguised her hair still black her complexion ghostly White and her eyes turned yellow evil sealing method Kakashi she spoke imitating arachim Mark tone is that all you can do she mocked her inner seal Master offended that Kakashi thought he could hold down the seal she made with such an inferior thing thehi responded by charging up Airi which cackled Dangerously In The Silent room the boy will be mine and remember don't even think about canceling the exams cuckoo her piece of misdirection complete she quickly made her exit before changing back to her Jon and Sensei of Kabuto's team disguise returning just in time to see zaku's Victory well done zaku well done she thought to herself pleased how far the jenin had grown this you meet zugi from koha versus kanguro from sunna zugi strolled down towards his starting place like he owned the arena well kanguro walked rather stiffly ready he inquired then fight the moment he shouted fight cugi shot forward grappling kanguro causing him to drop the white bandage package he was trying to unwrap to the surprise of everybody present instead of just using his arms and legs to bind kanguro cugi body twisted and wrapped himself around kanguro and he slowly started to rip K kuro's arms out of his sockets give up you cannot win zugi spoke cockily into K kuro's ear you would be right if that was the real me suddenly came from the package sui's eyes shot open in confusion and suddenly stood face to senin launcher as the puppet's mouth opened wide which promptly peppered his head with needles screaming he flopped away pulling out the needles from his forehead and nose damn you he cursed as he shakily rose the real canura revealed itself from the package and the fake one started to rise revealing the wooden puppet underneath I have already won canura spoke confidently what do you mean with cugi slurred before he slumped forward winner by knockout kanguro now get a medic he faced towards kanguro is the poison lethal and Kuro shook his head he should wake up in a couple of hours he nodded his thanks and signaled for the board to spin bero Sakura from koha versus yamanako from koha both girls made their way down are you girls ready ha asked getting two nods in return then start that's a rather sorry excuse for it to Jutsu fight Naruto thought as he watched are they holding back his thoughts were soon confirmed by a bold declaration from Sakura telling Eno not to hold back the fight heated up and used her hair to trap Sakura for his mind technique to work only to be rejected by Sakura's mind the girls resumed their hand-to-hand fight ending with a double knock out A8 shook his head since both participants are knocked out it's a draw and neither will continue the medic soon came in and carted both off the board spun again tenton of koha versus tamari of sunna both girls made it to their place ready to show them how real kenoi fight tenton asked her opponent who just snorted dismissively tenton frowned feeling insulted he8 decided to start the match before the pre-match banter Set It Off ready then fight he then had to jump backwards to avoid getting impaled by the multitude of sharp objects tenton started to throw deari slightly opened her fan in response and swung at once sending the pointy objects away from her is that all she asked mockingly tenton scowled and opened a scroll launching another wave towards tamari who simply swung her fan again deflecting the attack that was your second chance tamari mocked tenton face started to dis display her anger and she leapt into the air unrolling two large Scrolls twin Rising dragons with multiple poofs of smoke weapons appeared for tenton to throw she launched the entire lexicon of Weaponry towards tamari who was forced to dodge and use Quick wind attack with her fan to avoid impalement the moment tenton lost momentum tamari fully opened her fan and launched to cutting wind tornado who caught tenton midair lifting her further cutting her body and the two unfilled Scrolls once the attack ended tenton was stunned and slowly started to drop to stood below her Landing Zone Place her fan so that tenton would break her back when she fell into it before that could happen a green blur shot forward and caught the falling girl most UN youthful Le boomed Winer by interference toari hey shouted Lee glared at the girl who tried to harm his teammate beyond the need of Victory but before he could launch himself at her a firm hand landed on his shoulder turning around he saw the stern face of his Sensei mid guy shaking his head the most youthful save Lee but do not avenge your teammate that would lead to an un youthful disqualification I Sensei Lee responded sparkles in his eyes from his teacher wisdom now Lee hand tenton to those youthful Medics the said Medics blanched and wait for your match for an explosion of Youth ha gu Sensei the more veteran Kohan ninja sighed in relief that there was no youthful hugs involved not ready for the jinjutsu that comes with it the board meanwhile spun on uncaringly Nara Shikamaru from koha versus tsuchi kin I am fighting a girl so Troublesome Shikamaru complained as he made his way down getting a few encouraging words from Asuma on the way kin meanwhile received her own encouraging words from her teammates both soon stood facing each other are you ready ha asked both of them shikim yawned his Ascent while a high came from kin well then fight in jumped backwards launching multiple senon forcing Shikamaru to dodge her second wave of senon jingled and flew wide raising an eyebrows from Shikamaru who below his lazy exterior had his mind an overdrive trying to figure out tactics preferably without becoming a porcupine in the process his hand dived into his kunai pouch and returned fire while dodging the third a sharp pain in his thigh informed him he was not successful before he could throw his second kunai he suddenly heard jingling and lost his sense of balance poison no jinjutsu shikim thought biting his lower lip to break him free just in time to roll away he felt something snap against his body and heard a single Jingle snap wire connected to Belgian Jutsu time through the s of the Bells he thought now effortlessly countering the next jinjutsu attack with his chakra wire cast Shadow a smile would have made its way on the boy's face if he wasn't lazy he quickly sank onto his knees forming his hands into the proper seal his unexpected movement caused kin's next wave of senin go over him who was getting irritated or jinjutsu wasn't taking hold before she suddenly froze up a faint smirk managed to make its way on shikamaru's face who saw kin had her hand full with senon forced to mimic Shikamaru who moved his hand that the senon threatened to piece kenk throat forfeit e drawled lazily kin grimaced I forfeit she responded Winer by forfeit narish Shikamaru shikim released his Jutsu and kin slumped in defeat however an approving nod from the disguised kashina Rose her spirits and she quickly made her way back to her team who offered words of consolation while shikimaru received praise Naruto felt obliged to send an approving nod to Shikamaru he saw the Pencil Thin Shadow move along the Shadows of the wires realizing slightly after Shikamaru how the Odo girl jingled the bells the board spun and Naruto saw his own Name uzamaki Naruto from koha versus inuka Kiba from koha Yahoo we got an easy win kibba laughed Naruto kept his face impassive but inwardly Revenge will be so sweet Naruto thought almost bloodthirsty without Mizuki to get on my case whenever I win back at the Academy I can finally get some payback ready to lose you clanless loser aimu stand to the side I don't need your help for this Naruto ignored him waiting on ha to start the match pay attention you failure of a ninja kibba demanded Naruto just looked at kibba board further riling up the boy show him what you can do Naran Kash cheered in her mind beat that fox boy to pulp kikurin I thought echoing the thoughts of several jonen present seeing the banter wasn't going anywhere are you ready boys both of them nodded then fight they'll finish this in one move passing Fang Kiba shouted rapidly spinning turning into a gr Razer sharp cork screw that spun its way towards Naruto passing fangha Naruto thought his mind and overdrive as kibba spun closer I can see you aim at my side and your head is exposed Naruto quickly stepped so kibba would hid in dead center anchored himself to the ground with chakra and cocked back right fist you know the technique but you haven't mastered it you are wide open timing it just right he plunged his right fist into the eye of the storm raking the right side of kiba's head hard as Kiba spun into his fist kba's attack lost its spin rapidly Naruto weakened his hold on the ground and allowed him to be pushed back by kiba's momentum his right fist hurting badly as it kept knocking into kiba's spinning head under pressure from holding the attacking dog boy back judging kibba lost enough spin his left fist thundered into an uppercut flying past the spinning clawed hands and hitting kiba's chest just under his neck before bouncing upward and hitting his jaw kiba's Vector was redirected upward slowly raising into the sky Naruto spiked his chakra to his feet launching himself upward something he learned during the tree climbing exercise he misjudged however and used to much chakra missing the chance to use his fists but settled for a devastating kick to kiba's midriff Knocking him away Landing roughly halfway the other side of the Arena while Naruto landed clumsily unbalanced by the rough aerial kick theam yuk Kiba cursed groggy raising to his feet while Nudo regained his balance akamaru letun go he ordered tossing a pill for the dog to eat Naruto was too far away to do stop it he tossed a kunite to try to keep the dog off balance but the dog handily dodged it crunching down on the pill while it did the dog's fur turned red Beast human clone akamaru poofed into Kiba Naruto grinned you want clones you get clones cage bunin a small Legion of clones appeared around nuto Who Bull rushed a pair of kibas despite the pain nuto managed to inflict with his combo Kiba kept up his best fighting through the mass with bestial efficiency yet for every two clones he dispelled he took a hit I am going to lose against that loser at this rate where is the real one kibba thought trying to use his nose as the Clones were without smell after a couple of frantic seconds he found the real nuto standing at the back of his homemade horde follow me akamaru he shouted leaping into the air towards Naruto Naruto's eyes widened in Surprise Kiba managed to find him but then smirked by jumping kibba left himself open a counter plan formed in his mind and he quickly made a couple of clones both of them aimed their bodies at a Kiba before supercharging the chakra output at their feet but the double loud bang leaving a small crater at their launch site both clones rocketed towards the kibas knocking into them bodily before dispersing by the pressure of the impact knocked out of balance Direction and Blinded By The Smoke both Kiba and the transformed acumera landed roughly near Naruto who hopped back his hord of clones descending upon the pair like a pack of raptors before Naruto's clones could properly start the beating heade interrupted winner by interference yamaki Naruto Naruto surprised by the suddenly declaration quickly dispelled his clones before it was used to disqualify him a small true smile made his way on his face when he realized he had a measure of payback for all the crap Kiba gave him and that he earned a genuine chance to be promoted well done Naran kashina thought impressed how Naruto controlled the fight with well time to Jutsu and a single Jutsu showing another inventive way to use the shadow clone technique most of the remaining public was less happy realizing the unpopular boy might actually make the promotion with Odo and sunna both having participants they would also be sending their judges and if the koha ones would judge him unfairly that would attract attention they did not want to have ignoring the inner turmoil of the room the board spun uncaringly forward while the Medics carted off a cursing kibba hyuga niiji from koha versus hyuga Hinata from koha Nudo saw the anger in nii's eyes and realized he would vent that on Hinata worried but aware he could not do anything he watched helplessly as hate started the match and niji started assaulted Hinata with words targeting her fears and self-confidence narudo gritted his teeth as he saw the girl's confidence falter then she glanced at him and nuto responded by flashing her a big grin and a thumbs up hidden from the rest of the room it seemed to work the girl gathered herself and told her cousin to fight and fight they did a rapid Clash of finger pokes Palm strikes and other gentle fist attacks clashed back and forth initially hinatas seemed to keep up but nii's experience won in the end slowly closing her tin kutsu in her arm While redirecting the girl's counter strikes to nonvital places with a powerful blow to the chest niiji knocked hanata to the ground yet hanat stubbornly refused to stay down much to nii's ey the second round of fight fighting was clearly in nii's favor the damage the girl had taken slowing her down too much throwing her back on the ground it is you who has hurt nii nen hanada spoke softly after the match ended in niji's favor standing back on her feet despite the beating she took nii eyes conveyed Untold anger and he rushed forward to finish her off stopped inches away from dealing a deep Blow by the Proctor and the three instructors more protection for the main family nii raged he shook his head protecting you from disqualifying yourself and murder charges hyuga get back up the balconies niji stomped off well hanata was taken away by the medics Nudo dearly wanted to leap off the balcony draw upon cao's power and Slaughter the bastard for hurting his family member who cared for him he was certain whatever issue he had with the main branch family hanata wasn't a part of it she was far too kind for that the growl at the back of his mind warn him he was drawing on his tenants chakra and he stepped back reigning in his anger thankfully the rest did not notice his loss of control and watched as the board spun again Brock Lee of koha versus gar from sunna gar teleported down in a swirl of sand looking bored Lee meanwhile Unleashed a loud Yosh as he hopped down brimming with excitement are you too ready hi a certain green clad Jen and boomed gar merely nodded then fight hay yelled leaping backwards not to get caught in the storm of Youth he just Unleashed Lee shot forward aiming a flying kick at G's face to nearly everyone's surprise Sans suddenly sprang from the gourd blocking the kick jumping off Lee blurred to gark side aiming a straight punch yet once again the sand interfered gar looked bored at Lee is that all before aiming his arm at Lee soon as senin he intoned calmly as more sand poured out of the gourd forming senin the size of his forearm before they launched rapidly at Lee Lee ducked and weaved beneath the attack hoping gar spend all his sand on the attack he launched forward but the sand thwarted him again Lee was forced away from gar by another barrage of sand Simon I seeing his minii wasn't making any progress shouted take them off Lee looked surprised as he hopped to the top of the statue Standing On Top of the finger I thought I could only take them off to protect those dear to me Lee shouted back ducking to avoid getting his head taken off by another super sized needle of sand I louded guy simply boomed back hi Guy sensei Lee shouted energetically he quickly duck down again removing his leg weight holding them up he dropped them some of the Watchers made fun of the weights gar merely watched wondering if the fight would become more interesting when the weights landed making a large crater a giant dust cloud and a worthy boom he smiled knowing it just got better as Lee shot forward again many times quicker that before actually bypassing G's mobile sand defense and showing gar War a sand armor over his skin as he landed his blows cracking the armor Naro could only watch with awe impressed by what a dedicated student could do taught by a proper teacher Baris started moving around making it harder for Lee to hit him and riding the blows that came through his defense to reduce the damage having uncrossed his arms he actually looked like he was fighting now a maniac grin made its way on his face yes make me feel alive he shouted and he ordered his sand to envelop Lee deari could only shake her head it was roughly a month ago when kha changed gar seal and had a heart-to-heart talk with gar she did this after she defeating him in battle afterwards her brother actually apologized to her and kanguro for what he had done her baby brother learning the voice in his head was actually a murderous Jack being she wasn't sure what she wanted from her now sword off sane brother but at least to make me feel alive while fighting ugara beat the shut up or I murder yugar hands down as an added bonus ever since kha had her talk with her father the man actually seemed to dethaw a bit trying to reconnect with his estrange children deari welcomed the change with open arms always wishing she could keep her family together like her mother did before she died to ca chibi and her brother kanguro kept his distance like a true Puppeteer and he watched what happened without interfering personally gar rejected all attempts at reproach bitter over what happened but at least he stopped trying to murder the man the loud Yash shook her out of her thoughts and saw the green spandex Boy Rap gar and his bandages midair having launched gar upwards with a devastating kick after breaking out of the sand envelopment both boys started rapidly spinning to the ground front Lotus actually worrying toari Gara might get hurt the loud boom and an enormous dust cloud hid both before suddenly a green blur slammed into the wall and a maniac laughter emerged from the cloud as the Dust settled it showed gar with a maniac grin yes make me feel alive Lee dug himself out of the wall standing groggily he perked up when his Sensei shouted Lee the Lotus of the leaf blooms twice Lee responded with a loud High Sensei guy pointedly ignored the horrified look the Koh Jon and Sensei shot him Lee took a wide stance gar just stepped back and watched interested in what kind of power up his opponent would make this time kman Kai Kim and Kai s and Kai Lee chanted at each K more energy started to spark around him his skin turning red with a final kyara would be wearing a chess meire smile if he could his blood boiling with anticipation he would be disappointed however the greencloud boy turned into a blur rapidly striking him multiple times his sand armor chipped away with each powerful blow his sand defense far too slow to keep up his sand was blasted all over the arena by the power of the greencloud boy Baris suddenly felt himself kicked upwards even as he flew up more blows landed on him there suddenly was a pause acting on Instinct realizing the final blow was coming his gourd disintegrated forming a shell around him just as leit pounding him into the ground obscuring his form by the big dust cloud that sprung up from the impact most kenoh had jenon cheered at the apparent victory of their fellow jenin but stopped when they heard a pain no from guy as Lee landed he was suddenly slapped into the wall by a thick tendril of sand knocking the boy out yes you made me feel alive we must fight again the insane boy demanded from the unconscious Lee heay quickly darted forward forward checking Lee's vitals winner by knockout gar deari sighed in relief glad her brother made it kanguro smiled as gar appeared beside him well done gar you made us worry gar blinked in surprise I am sorry I did not intend to he spoke silently tomari felt like slapping kanguro he is trying damn it don't be gar you are safe that is what matters she quickly gave him a short hug to reinforce the message B smiled at the interplay between the siblings happy she managed to teach the bullheaded kazak AG he tore apart his own family with what he was doing and had done losing the only thing he had beside his village baruto felt both awe and worry he knew he was stronger with cao's chakra but as the woman in the forest had shown it did not make him invincible and the power both displayed made him realize how far behind he was the last two participants knew they were up but they had to wait until the worst of the damage was repaired with some Earth Jutsu Lee having made multiple craters into the floor and wall during this Kakashi returned with an exhausted Sask well that is proof why SAS never responded to his heart of fan girls Naruto joked to himself it also shows that Kakashi truly bends over for the AA Clan Kakashi shot nuto a glare when he heard he won his match damn you couldn't you just die already and leave us in peace Kakashi complained in his mind before distracting himself from his unwanted student with his orange book akimichi Chi from koha versus Kuda doou from Odo announced as soon the arena was repaired DOI looked reluctant but was promised barbec if he won meanwhile the heavily bandaged Odo Jen and waited patiently for choji to come down are you too ready both boys gave him a nod very well the last match fight barbeck choji shouted as a war cry rapidly expanding in size he8 knowing what an akamichi could do rapidly bailed out dosu didn't and his lone visible eye widened in horror as in giant joji bore down on him snapping out of his surprised stuper dosu quickly jumped aside avoiding becoming a human pancake Joi made a surprisingly sharp turn for his bulk forcing dosu to rapidly evade again this time dosu managed to create some distance trying to figure a way to hit the enlarged boy's head who re aimed himself and spun into gear for another charge this happened several times each time dosu attempted to hit choji and choji trying to squash dosu suddenly choji changed tactics adding a spin to his role making him a giant curveball trying to capitalize on doss's tendency to jump to his right it failed however dosu could Dodge on time and managed to swipe out joi's head the melody arm dosu used completely disorientating and nauseating the boy thinking victory was his dosu stopped to catch him breath trying to control his rapid Beating Heart from surviving multiple attempts of getting the set organ squashed out of him and completely failing to notice how the disorientated choji kept rolling around making a slow lazy turn before approaching him from behind knocking him over and crushing his legs uunk loud Cry of pain was too much for joi's head and with a load groan he returned to his normal size laying on his back whining to himself P waited hoping choji would recover since doss's crushed legs would prevent him from standing up sadly after a minute it was clear joji was incapacitated since both Fighters cannot continue it's a draw he declared and soon the Medics came in carting both boys to the hospital after the arena was cleared out hay appeared in the middle of it if all remaining participants could line up here he ordered they did so and we soon presented with a box each of you will draw a number from this box this will decide your lineup nii went first to he declared three from gar eight tamari declared six Karo added one from Naruto who smiled inwardly he could get some payback for Hinata poor Sask said seizing up gar having missed the fight seven trouble Sara complained five from zaku P quickly wrote down the numbers the third exam matchups will be this the first match is yamaki Naruto against haug genichi the second match is gar ofsa against aasu the third match is abumi zaku versus kanguro of sunna the fourth match is narish shikimaru versus tamari of sunna from there it's logical what would happen next these fights will happen a month from now taking in the quizzle glances from The Chew and hopefuls he chuckled this will give Keno had time to prepare for the event as many foreign dignitaries will come to watch are there any questions shikima spoke up will only the winner become Chew in it would be so Troublesome to win but question hay admitted no each fight will be judged by the president in cages and a high ranking member from The Villages who attends that means for the coming exams there are six judges you need to impress winning gives you another chance to impress the judges beruto smiled inwardly despite lying to him often the old monkey was at least fair to him meaning at worst only one judge could truly be against him any more questions a silence responded him very well we will see you all next month take a good look at your opponent and prepare well good luck arudo glanced at nii before walking toward sasu Kakashi Kakashi Sensei Naro spoke with fake cheer how would you be training us the coming month honestly Naro already had a good suspicion what the answer to that would be Kakashi I smiled at Naruto sorry nuto I would be training sasu here good luck and with that he poofed away with sasu K to Baki the sunna Jon and Sensei looked surprised at the blatant favoritism and how only guy seemed to be disturbed by it from the koha teams kha would have sighed if she didn't have to keep her disguise on well what do you expect from a student from that man she thought before she could consider approaching the boy in her current disguise guy marched over towards Naruto a most UN youthful action from my usually youthful comrade as nii will be training with his clan and with Lee and tenton in the hospital allow my youthful self to train you until they recovered Theo blinked in Surprise not expecting a jonan to offer him help a smile made his way to his face thank you very much gu Sensei when and where do we meet meet me tomorrow at the west gate at 5: in the morning we will start with a most youthful Sprint around the village guy boomed all right thank you again I see you then Sensei Nudo replied with equal Vigor not noticing the death glare Kash was shooting guy in her disguise if you dare to corrupt my son guy I will murder you revive you and then torture you before murdering you again she thought dangerously one week after the preliminaries hidden lab the buo entered the dark lab where kha was fussing over a cooling corpse K saw he spoke softly I have the test result Kash turned to face him and Kabuto K she asked no warmth in her voice he is indeed your son Kabuto spoke quickly and relaxed when a big smile made its way on kashk face emboldened he asked why did you have me to test at Kash Sama k s Kabuto Kan the sand a is a bigger snake or rimu could ever be and then there is danzo kha scowled sometimes the two of those could be the same if either of them thought my son's Heritage was to Troublesome as Nars put it they could transfer the caoi to another blonde kid and have n Chan killed but it doesn't matter now kha chirped gloomy atmosphere disappearing he is really my son so I should talk to him again soon kabudo could only shake his head at his master's Antics on other news the preparations with sunno are going according to plan how is garan doing kha asked he is doing better now he longer hear shikaku since you improved his seal Kash Sama he picked up a taste for fighting however you flatter me Kabuto Kan that is good to hear I saw his battle US during the preliminaries perhaps when he is older he will appreciate life beyond fighting my boy turned out rather well despite what happened to him kheen amused one week after the preliminaries Hokage office dakan I am glad you could make it harisen spoke warmly as his student entered the office as s say I came as soon the Toads informed me you wanted to see me jera the toad San and responded Yes jera we have reason to believe arachim Maru is after the Sharingan and will return later to the Village to exact his revenge theer and his hand through his long white hair I see so you want me to train the AA kid pisin shook his head no Kakashi has that handled Jer is side in relief but perhaps you want to train nuto K herzan asked jera looked puzzled nuto who is he the man asked pisan looked at Jura like he sprung a second head Naruto minado's and kash's kid yeah what about it the kid he is your godson harisen exclaimed shock jera had forgotten the man seemed so pleased when the pair informed him so what jera asked his interest in the conversation gone gisin looked flabbergasted at jera before a hint of annoyance said in before he could speak however just because he is my godson doesn't mean I need to care about him jera spoke being a godparent means looking after your godchildren If the parents can't hear his in thought but before he could voice it jera went on the only thing I care about sunade boobs my research for my books and my secret wish that arachim was a woman what harisen blurted out surprised and disturbed by that wish in the set outfit all right young Naruto let us do 100 youthful pups Naruto would have groaned if he hadn't learned that would result in more youthful exercises despite the man's dubious anity nuto would be the first to admit the man knew his stuff Naruto's T Jutsu was mostly imitated what he saw from other classmates seeing that the instructors preferred to give him improper instructions guy quickly saw this and moved in to correct this where possible Naruto had hoped he would teach him the basics of Goen but guy had explained that was a dojo style and he was was not planning to take another Apprentice although disappointed Naro understood and respected the reason happy he was not denied because of the fox like many others did after each morning torture which guy insisted was training Naruto spend the afternoon working on his Clan's bloodline the days before the preliminaries happened Naruto managed to manifest a solid blob of chakra a week after his own very rough chain formed he was puzzled by its shape however like described it had two edges indicating wind chakra yet also blunt by formed sometimes with some kind of oval shape on top of it sometimes else the spikes had other blunt spikes Sprout from them nevertheless at the end of the second week he had managed to smooth out the chain only preserving the edges of his wind element after a rather strenuous morning Naruto was once again hidden in the forest practicing his bloodline chains he had learned after experimenting that the chains formed the easiest on the palms of his hands and oddly enough the center of his back at other places it took a couple of seconds for the chain to form and even then it would grow many times slower he launched another chain at the tree pushing and shaping his chakra as quickly as he could the chain shot across the clearing embedding itself into the with a quick pull it shot free and nuto rotated on the spot slashing multiple trees with a chains Edge before it broke apart in a Golden Glow IR an edge chain Harare of course wind element users are rare themselves Naruto jumped to the center of the clearing forming multiple Shadow clones on the way to guard his back so jumpy the reded woman called out as she calmly appeared from behind a tree quite impressive considering I gave you the scroll 3 weeks ago despite the situation Naruto couldn't help but blush under the praise he did resist the urge to rub the back of his head however keeping his defensive pose she chuckled now I believe I promised to tell you about your mother back at the forest of death Naruto stiffened the woman threw a scroll nuto tapped one of his clones to get it who carefully unfurled it when it didn't explode in his face he handed it nuto who tried to read it while keeping an eye on the woman a basic biography he quickly noted looking further he soon saw a picture of a bright red-headed woman with blue eyes with black pupils that had a slid in them Naruto blinked looked up and could help but to compare surprised he blurted out you are uzamaki kashina yes I am she spoke seriously her playful demeanor gone nuto narrowed his eyes why why lead me on I had to make sure you we my son she replied bluntly W what her voice grew agitated how close are you to harisen infused by the counter question he was silent for a moment considering if he should be honest or reply with the answer anybody from koha would expect well she isn't from koha and I want to know not close at all he lied to me my entire life by the looks of it she smiled the agitation seeping out of her that's good to hear I had to make sure I was afraid he would have killed you soon after the ceiling placing the caoi in another child because of your Origins she rushed out Origins your lovable father is the fourth H kid she bluntly threw at him bero gaped the samey that ruined his life was his own father taking his silence to continue she started the night you were born aask Naruto recovered and held up his hand I know what happened that night caoi told me kha blinked not expecting that you talk to it him yes I do it's the reason I can use his chakra that well since nobody trained me now it was kash's turn to Gabe never expecting her boy to make some sort of peace with a hateful furball she had carried so why did he seal caoi and me why not back into you he asked now knowing his mother was present during the ceiling and had contained the caoi before he wished he hadn't asked the question tears sprung to her face as painful memories resurfaced I wanted to do that datab ban but that man insisted koha needed a weapon if the fox was sealed back into me we both would have died not wanted to hurt his apparent mother he tried to ask his next question more carefully so who are what made you leave their face turned angry tears still flowing the oneeyed bastard danzo did moments after the ceiling he and his private little army appeared knocking me out and dragging me off here isn't or somebody loyal to him must have been close since you are not an emotionless puppet what happened afterwards Naruto asked quietly a month afterwards danzo sold me like cattle to arachim Maru arachim Maru tried to use the uzamaki Vitality to save his life but when he found out he couldn't he made me his successor instead to conserve his legacy before narudo could ask the question she went on I tried to get you earlier but I was foiled by the amboo guarding you later you were too wary to go with my agents but I was betrayed like Mizuki did nuto blinked Mizuki worked for you she nodded the change of subject allowed her to regain her calm composure yes his orders were when you failed the exam to fool you into thinking you could do an extra test outside the forest from there he would take you to Odo that night the gate guards worked for me that's why you could get so far unnoticed because they were under orders not to inform anybody of you leaving I see here replied dumbly memories of instances of strangers subtly or not so subtly trying to get him to leave koha his own distrust and fear of the consequences holding him back after a moment of remembrance while the woman know my mother watched on silently so what now now you stand there while I hugg the stuffing out of you Nan Kina thought but she said now nuto you make a choice a storm is coming will you stand with me or with koha Nudo wanted to LEAP up and shout yes I will stand with you but logic told him not to make such a decision lightly can I think about it he asked instead the crestfallen expression hurt his heart but he steal healed it betraying your home how much you hate it had dire consequences 3 days I will look for you in 3 days she responded thank you here replied but she already had disappeared alone in the clearing he sat down trying to process the new information after reading the scroll she had handed to him his mind whirling he decided to ask the inner Fox hoping the Beast had a convincing argument either way channeling some of the beasts chakra the Beast replied the moment the link was established she is strong and will keep you safe until you are strong and enough to keep yourself safe aruto S I should have seen that one coming he braced himself for an acidic reply from the fox but it stayed silent I could ask Kabuto but if caoi is right he is with a woman I can't talk with hanata about betraying The Village Naruto thought pinching his the bridge of his nose although those same people are the only thing I care about in this Village and one of them is most likely on Mom's side nuto thought unknowingly starting to refer the woman as his mother despite Kabuto's bias he still decided to seek him out however he was disappointed Nar saw that he was supposed to be on duty but couldn't find the man to his disappointment and he retired for the night he did quickly visit hanata but she was asleep the wounds nii inflicted taking a heavy toll on the girl it strengthened nutk desire to turn the boy into pulp kha felt like crying after nuto asked for time think she was certain the boy would leap at her and they both would hug each other until deep in the night where then kha could haul her boy to a close by Hideout and spend the night snuggling with each other making up for for 13 years of lost time but instead her boy kept this distance she felt like running to sunna where K cabuto was currently coordinating odo's forces Wrangle him for not properly preparing her son to face her but she knew that would be unfair and he was competent worker killing him would be wasteful and too much of a rimu style it's going to be a stressful three days datab ban she muttered trying to let sleep claim her the next day Nudo learned from guy that although he was welcome to join the morning warming up Lee and tenton had recovered and he would return turned to training them despite his disappointment nuto thanked the man for his help after his last morning torture he once again tried to find Kabuto yet failed to so left on his own devices he logically tried to wait all his options the more I think about it the more I wonder why I didn't just say yes Naruto mused as he watched out of his ratty apparent window so why didn't I Naruto asked himself thinking more he realized he was afraid afraid to come up short and die before being free or hold back and turned into some kind of puppet for those old people before he could examine his fears further somebody knocked on his front door he walked over looking through the spigas right into the scarred face of iiki for a moment fear overtook him thinking the woman claiming to be his mother sold him out before coming down if that was the case he'd be dogpiled by Ambu by now he opened the door good afternoon he spoke neutrally doing his utmost to keep his Poker Face on the bicki looked at the blonde boy before him it was clear the boy was nervous about something he hoped the boy was just nervous facing the head of the T and ey but deep down he suspected it was more good evening yamaki San can I ask you a few questions of course come in nuto replied neutrally without further comment iiki marched into the apartment noting with some distaste it was not really habitable the boy merely making the best of it he quickly picked a spot to stand taking command of the conversation by gesturing the boy where to sit leaning against the wall he made sure he did not stand confrontational you are friends with you Kushi kuto correct Naruto nodded for how long Naruto paused thinking over the question 6 or S years that is a long time then surely you know where usually could be found they're also looking for Kabuto Naruto asked himself yay I know his shift by heart but I couldn't find him the past two days Naro replied honestly an inquiring eyebrow shot up why are you looking for him I said to much Naruto cursed to himself I was looking for advice about the hyuga fighting style Naruto lied bicki sensed that Naruto was lying by the hesitation but couldn't find why he would be lying his knee-jerk reaction would be that it was related to the entire rochim Mar Fiasco but his own research proved Kabuto rarely left the village on missions or otherwise so it was unlikely Kabuto was an agent of arachim changing Tac why not ask your Sensei that Kakashi is far too busy training the AA to pay attention to me Naruto said bitterly and I can hardly ask guy about his own student iiki sighed knowing Kakashi's unreasonable hatred All Too Well icki wondered how oblivious Naruto truly was to the hatred around him from what he had seen during the exam the boy was intelligent despite the academy rapports saying otherwise and he sensed that the boy was being sparse with the truth when he reported his encounter with the snake it left the III with the question why was the boy afraid did arachim make him an offer the best way to answer that was to haul the boy to TI Andi but the Hokage would protest furthermore the boy has proven he could access the beast's chakra when pressured which would be unhealthy for the interrogators talking to the boy like this would not get him anywhere and Reporting it directly to the Hokage would end up him being painted as one of the caoi haters which he wasn't he knew enough about the human psyche to see the boy was not the fox or Fox controlled very well if you see Kabuto let him know I want to talk to him Naruto blinked by the sudden change of conversation I willab biki was glad he already turned his back to the boy otherwise the boy could clearly see the narrowing off his eyes most people would ask are they in trouble good day yamaki he bit out before marching out of the door trying to figure out the best way to inform the Hokage the boy might not be loyal so they don't even trust me anymore huh Naruto thought as soon acki was gone damn it aside from Hinata there is no good reason for me to bother even staying here I hope she'll forgive me when I leave the third day came soon enough and nuto was back in the clearing trying to form multiple chains without them reverting to their more uncontrolled state where they would easily disintegrate so did you make your choice his mother's voice called out the woman hidden in the trees thy did Mother I will stand with you what do I do bisha beamed with happiness when she heard that and wanted to do three things first hug her son to death then twist his ear for making her worry lastly make him call her mom instead of going all formally on her however as much as she loed it family bonding had to come later she smiled at Naruto I am glad you made up your mind curiously what made you doubt she asked the few bonds I have with the village and fear Naruto replied on ly K raised an eyebrow but decided to drop the issue very well as much as I love to take you with me and never look back koha won't leave us in peace not with you being the container of the fox kha spoke furthermore we both have problems with people in this rotten Village benom started to enter her voice I have gathered a force and I have allies we will strike soon to [ __ ] The Village [ __ ] why not destroy it Naruto asked intrigued bash smiled happy to see nuto truly made up his mind destroying a Village is hard Naruto Kung at any given moment roughly a third of the village fighting force is outdoing missions patrols are stationed at outposts kha started to Pace even with all the ninja Wars only a handful were truly wiped out Beyond recovery ashena smiled grimly again although Clans can be stubbornly hard to wipe out n bero nodded understanding his mother's point after koha is struck and weakened IA will be watching very closely the fourth did make them hate kohath thoroughly with those two Villages snapping at each other like Rabbid dogs it will give Odo and its allies time to capture and consolidate pieces of fire country Nudo was silent kashina kept on talking but that is for the future now we need to focus on the now I believe you have a score to settle with the hyuga Naruto scowled at the thought of niji good show them family is important Naruto nodded one of the main beliefs of the clan family sticks together he thought kha Taps her chin in thought making Minor Adjustments of her plans in her mind I will use the start garak kan's match as a signal I will need to remind garan not to kill the AA however she saw nutk disappointed face we will get him later that day he just needs a bit more time to be useful she teased seeing nuto looking at her in confusion now Naruto K how many tales of cao's chakra can you use and stay in control three I think Naruto replied nervously surprised by the sudden change of TAC you think kha echoed Naruto looked both embarrassed and stressed it's not like I got a lot of chances to practice with the fox dato gash blinked and then groaned Naruto fidgeted afraid his lack of control would ruin his mother's plan you have my verbal tick tears comically sprung from her eyes I had so hoped you hand B Naruto looked absolute flabbergasted shaking her head and getting back on track the signal will be quite clear when it does follow garan and protect him until he is ready his siblings will tell you what targets you will attack unless you have a preference Theo shook his head I wish I could tell you more Naran but it's safer if you don't know that way you cannot ACC accidentally give away information you wouldn't want to have a chat with acki nuto grimaced already having had a chat with acki he told his mother so I see kashim contemplated iiki always has been a sharp one I will tell Kabuto Kan to stay out of public eye when he comes back just keep looking for him otherwise icki will get even more suspicious ER before I forget kha pulled a scroll free and tossed it to Naruto who unfurled it quickly scanning it he saw it was a Jutsu scroll learn a new Jutsu in less than two weeks he muttered to himself but kha heard him I know it is short but do your best n she suddenly brightened up do you know the secrets of the Shadow clone Naruto CLS the scroll I do but it gives me an enormous headache if I try to use it for training I understand I see it as a kinjutsu for more than just its large chakra cost Kash replied I am looking forward to seeing you deal with that hyuga nuto smiled and kha disappeared Sask was panting after an round of endurance training ever since Kakashi took him to train him one-on-one he had been pushed hard finally I am getting stronger to kill him the Avenger thought IR training hard I see a woman's voice called out sasu quirrel towards the origin of the voice you he hissed me the concealed Kashima taunted show yourself and dare to face the aiham Mite kha shot forward appearing at the AA side her body horizontal supporting herself with her hands one foot was kicking sas's legs under him the other hit the back of his head forcefully planting the ai's face into the ground she gracefully flipped away from Sask standing upright like nothing had happened sasu groaned and slowly picked himself up you are strong truly worthy of becoming my wife Thea had to reign in her temper dearly wishing she could hit the boy very hard on the head perhaps fixing him really is that the only thing he thinks about killing his brother and demanding strong women to become his wife the did you master my little gift already then sasu growled before admitting I can't use it anymore and use it anymore kha echoed in her thoughts blurring behind Sask harshly tugging aside his clothing that concealed the mark kha eyes widened in Surprise the copycat is better at sealing than I thought ER allowed somebody to mess with it n Thea Stood Still just answering with a simple aen this might hurt a little kha spoke cheerfully before poking the seal Kakashi overlaid over her Mark Sask would have collapsed in pain if Kash Hadad and grabbed his neck with her other hand working with one hand on the containment seal she destroyed its contain functions while still making it look functional she carelessly tossed the AA back to the ground clapping her hands like she wants to clean of the filth on it IR ER it couldn't hurt that much inwardly however kha was displeased Kakashi's seal ruined the timing I had he won't be ready until weeks after the invasion Amit woman treat me with the respect the AA deserves he demanded still face down on the ground ER are you sure you are man enough for me kha taunted it worked with a snarl the AA boy Rose wisps of black jack emitting from the seal moments after a loud sassu cooed through the forest shocking sassu cout of his anger stopping the seal to emitting chakra moments later Kakashi appeared next to the boy show me the seal he demanded Sask reluctantly showed it unsure what to expect Kakashi sighed in relief must have felt it wrongly then the containment seal is still working Kakashi I smiled to sasu sorry I must be mistaken I will be working on the camp then continue your cool down as soon Kakashi was gone Kina reappeared you nearly gave us away there sasu turned towards the woman how do I use this he demanded I thought the AA Prodigy would have figured it out by now sasu wanted to attack her but suddenly realized why she was taunting him anger was a trigger Kash smiled mockingly as a look of understanding dawned on sasukes face you either get angry or you focus your own chakra on where the seal is located it will bleed back more powerful chakra in return making you stronger of course you should only practice when Kashi is not anywhere near otherwise he will seal off that power again and how else would you kill Itachi sasu snarled again like a rabbit animal and leap towards the woman to attack but before he could reach her she suddenly turned brown dirt and crumbled several days later The buo observed from the darkness as Baki finished the Proctor he jeo who interrupted their meeting Kabuto was glad he forced himself to learn the basics of using jinjutsu cleverly covering up the side of the fight he silently watched as Baki skillfully used his blade of wind to out maneuver The koha Swordsman cutting deeply into the man's torso killing him he leapt towards Baki landing near the man the plan is still go on despite the interruption he spoke before leaping off Aki merely offered a grim smile before leaving the scene himself making sure he left no traces of his presence nor that the koha man left any clues behind on what he discovered the next day pisin pinched a bridge of his nose problems seem to be stacking up lately first is this mysterious Village a tuger popping up with rumors arachim Maru is the oage the same oage he received a confirmation letter that he would be watching his Jen and participate meaning he either invited arachim legally into his village protected by international law for the rumors are false despite their sources and the amount of times it popped up over the years his former Prodigy student made his appearance during the second exam in the guise of a reded female either implying arachim learned a Jutsu that allowed to steal a person's face or he succeeded in his quest of immortality by taking over the lives of people the woman's description made him worry she was in Uzumaki which made a logical choice for aimu to take over with their long lifespan still it implied survivors he had genuinely hoped that with kash's disappearance the only remaining uzamaki would be oblivious to his Origins loyal to koha it seemed however that Kiri and Kumo were not as efficient as he had hoped sadly the boy was also the container of the nine-tailed fox despite acki suspicions otherwise her is in doubted the boy would defect somehow thanks to his environment he was far too wary of other adults aside from him his lying back at the training ground 44 was simply because he afraid heisen convinced himself gisen wished he had taken the time to talk to the boy one-on-one but arachim maru's appearance cut heavily into his time further compounded by the question mark that was akushi Kabuto who in hindsight was clearly a spy but for who and telling nuto his only friend was a traitor would be a tricky case when he thought he finally had time hey jeo is found death either cut by a wind-based attack or a sharp blade that left the rather annoying question of why what did jeo find that caused him to be killed lastly there was the marked last loyal AA hereis in shuttered at the thought his former student could do combining his immortality Jutsu with the AA eyes possibly making his dream to learn every Jutsu a reality in the end he could only watch and hope the various divisions he had under his command could figure out it before it was too late because he couldn't here is in realized he spread himself to thin with all the events that happened the past month besid out his frustration and prepared to meet his foe his mighty pen in his hand and assaulted the hordes of paper day of the third exam nuto was both excited and nervous excitement that he could settle his Grudge with nii and if everything goes according to plan he'd be with his mother tonight he was nervous because that same plan meant he would be taking his first human life he had taken enough lives of animals but that was purely for survival during the rougher patches in his life he realized killing a human would be different he had planned to make nii his first for trying to kill hanada nuto managed to get full story why niiji hated Hinata so much from the girl when he visited her yesterday in the hospital denada however urged him not to kill niiji however not wishing to break her kind heart he settled on maming I wonder how my chains edges cut human flesh Naruto thought sadistically he truly was nervous about failing however Naruto for the first time in his life realized he truly wanted to prove himself to someone namely his mother despite having barely spoken to her the emotion she displayed struck a cord in his well hidden heart double-checking his kunai pouch tugging his clothing for the last time Naruto set out towards the arena keeping himself to the back alleys and out of General sight the last thing he wanted was a group of civilians or Worse ninja stopping him from showing up he made his way to the arena without accident and joined the sand siblings who were early together with zaku the group was soon joined by a yawning Nara who was complaining the entire thing was to Troublesome shortly before they were called out nii walked in his very stance shouting he had already won the entire thing looking at the other participants as they were bugs only Sask was missing as the assembled jwan and Hils marched out forming a line in front of the cage balcony pisen in full Hokage outfit soon made his appearance the public applauding him loudly he watched with pride towards the three jenin before frowning slightly seeing Sask was late he was soon joined by shinkiro the fourth kazakage also wearing the full cage outfit however his were colored yellow lastly a woman joined the pair her hair fiery red violet eyes gazing regally she wore a dark dress a massive uzamaki spiral on her back a small musical note in the center of it eloh shiroan hok Dono kha spoke formally harisen looked like he saw a ghost arise from the grave Ken he blurted out K grinned impishly hello old monkey she replied protocol be damn she thought gleefully I thought you died that night here isin said shock still clear on his voice kha put on a show looking surprised why would you think that it was your U that told me nichan and manoy died that horrible night pisin could not help shooting a glance towards the lower seating area where the Elder Council and danzo sat Kina smiled inwardly after reading everything in arachim maru's archives I started to suspect the two of you were two pe's in pod danzo Shadow hiding in the light you project here Isen it's just that your Shadow does things on its own Theisen's mind world so busy he never took in The Coincidence of appearances between kha and rimu before he broke out in a cold sweat K's son Naruto was down that Arena if she still has that temper here is in shivered damn you danzo what kind of mess did you make trying to get a pinch cricky damn it if Kina tells this to Naruto Naruto might go berserk and I can't trust kha to stop him from rampaging in koha here is in thought making a mental note to recall Yamato as soon as he got a chance shaking himself out of his shock stuper he quickly drone out an introduction before signaling the new Proctor shiranu jenma to start the first match yamaki Naruto from koha versus haiji from koha br you too Gema asked the boys one standing nobly feeling victory was assured the other hunches like a hunter ready to pounce very well fight GNA declared before leaping clear neither boy moved both in battle ready stances nii spoke up give up Fate has declared me the Victor Naruto mocked looking around are you sure I am not seeing any signs and senen guy didn't declare you the winner Naruto taunted back predictable I had a month coming up with witty comebacks a dead last without a clan like you would not understand and fate my victory is ensured nii replied hotly without a clan ha Naruto smirked forming a chain in each hand slowly letting the chain grow forming a small pile on the ground nii's eyes widened as he saw the solid chakra stay in shape honestly I don't understand you Branch members Naruto monologues when there is finally a kind gentle and caring soul in the main branch instead of cherishing it letting it grow stronger strong enough to open the lock on your bindings you push that Soul away like the main branch did you make your own fate and you decided to stay a slave thenada blushed at nunk monologue well aware who Naruto was referring to Hai scowled at the boy's words painting the hyuga in a bad light Hanabi who had been brought along to see the pure blood of the hyuga clan in action now saw a reason why her elder sister was so smitten with a boy nii grimaced at the punch line and with a wordless gnarl his bloodline flared and he charged forward Naruto responded by yanking his right arm back bringing the chain he was holding into movement the chain flew backward he then he made made a horizontal slicing motion with his arm while focusing the chakra at the tip of the chain upward the combined motions caused the chain to move like a giant falling sword nii spotting the Chain's rapid approach halted his charge and dived left the chain embedded its height into the ground forming a swallow trench niji quickly recovered and continued his charge but Naruto was already moving swinging his left arm outward he made an horizontal slice once again using his limited control over the chain to make it act like a large whip nii dived under the SW wipe and soon started to close the last distance between the two smirking as it seemed Naruto Tangled himself up accept you fate nii bellowed as he prepared to strike Naruto smirked in return and used his control of the chain to the fullest making the chain embed in the ground move its entire length towards nii mom could probably ride her name in the air with her chains in the air with a control you can get over them however instead of disengaging to avoid the blow nii allowed the chain to bite into his side and soldiered on striking multiple times for ing Naro to clumsily block the blows with his left arm several tetu were closed but before nii could capitalize Naruto ducked under his next blow and moved his right hand already dropping the chain it held which started to disintegrate he formed a new chain on his open Palm improvising it as a stabbing weapon striking nii's wounded side the blow caused nii to Flinch for a vital second although Naro could barely feel his hand he could still use his elbow and used it as a cheap shot to slap nii's face both Fighters took a step away from each other nuto backpedal further nii in Hot Pursuit after shaking off the pain forcing his numbed hand into its half of the Shadow clone Jutsu handal he quickly formed a clone the Clone used the substitution jutsu with him taking the next set of Rapid blows before poofing out of existence nii who had a full-blown smirk at what he thought was Landing crippling blow turned to full surprise his opponent disappeared before he noticed Naruto in his 360 Vision his lips curled in displeasure as nii Whirled to face him Nar formed more Shadow clones to buy himself more time grimacing in pain as he forced more chakra through the remaining tetu in his left arm I hope the fox can fix this if he lands more blows nuto inwardly mused nii remained calm as he was quickly surrounded fighting Stokely through the storm skillfully avoiding nut's blows while Landing his own destroying the Clones with frightening efficiency nuto would admit he was impressed although his chains were not enormously sharp they did cut flesh nii had taken two blows to the right side now slight L bleeding but he kept fighting like he was not hit at all joining his horde of clones trying to find an opening he rubbed his left arm without noticing niiji who was systematically scanning all the Clones with his Byakugan saw the odd movement and rushed forward breaking through the surrounding line nuto his view blocked by his own clones could not react on time a clone however saw it happening and substituted itself with nuto taking the blow Naruto unaware what gave him away did his best to blend in his dwindling horde realizing sending a limited number to engage niji would not work as the boy Superior speed and experience in hand-to-hand combat would Prevail Naruto mentally went over the options he had caoi chakra Last Resort my new wind Jutsu will only push him around he is too good to be caught off guard by that attrition might work but he has a way to find the realy he is too fast for my chakra chains to hit perhaps a well-timed team attack from clones can do the job I only need to further open up the wounds I already made huming to a solution he made a new batch of clones soldiering through the pain his left arm provided him the new clones quickly filtered through the current ranks coring nii and preventing new uninformed clones to enter the fry well this provs I can work well with myself Naruto joked inwardly nii already having observed the changing pattern before he even finished the last of the Clones narrowed his eyes I did not expect to be forced to use Kon against him but jumping is far too dangerous he saw the telltale signs of the Clones to pounce and saw they were too well coordinated for him to gain an open as the Clones launched themselves forward niiji started to spin the main branch hyuga gasping in Surprise as they recognized what he was doing Akash Kon the whirling Dome of blue chakra stood firm in the sea of approaching clones dispelling them all Naruto and the uninvolved Clones gazed closely as the smoke was pushed away by the sphere as niiji started to slow down a couple of ambitious clones charged forward hoping to use his disorientation nii quickly showed he was not disorientated nuto gritted his teeth as the remaining clones charged in to buy him more time now I got to deal with an omnidirectional defense too I could try to exhaust him by trickling in more clones as he spins but I do not know how much chakra costs him to keep the defense up thankfully he doesn't move wait a second nuto smiled grimly if this doesn't work it's going to be hard he thought as he summoned a new gang of clones who already knew what to do nii tried to interrupt the process but the Clones smoothly absorbed his Interruption and once again prepared to launch themselves at him however instead instead of launching as soon as they could they stood teasingly all ready to go at him nii in the center of the circle ready to use Kon again nii used his 360° Vision trying to figure out why the delay was he soon found it one nuto most likely the original was forming an extremely thick chain as understanding crossed his face the Clones launched themselves akush mcon once again the defense weathered the attack flawlessly however this time the remaining clones threw themselves one after the other at the sphere other clones formed half a ring prepared to force niji into his Kon again nuto meanwhile made the most thick and stiffest chain he could he was completely absorbed in this process and sincerely hoped his clones would succeed in distracting miji he left himself wide open judging the chain long enough by feeling nuto opened his eyes and saw his clones managed to keep up their distraction their numbers were dwindling rapidly however he noticed the formation of the chain and all the earlier clones but a dent in his reserves and cursed himself in his mind for forgetting about the invasion but the warri he charged forward as he closed near the blue protective sphere he jumped upwards made a full turn his axis building up momentum for his chain before unleashing it in a devastating horizontal swing the far end of the chain gauged a trench into the ground catching some of his own clones before it slammed into nii's defense niiji having seen the incoming attack increased his efforts to strengthen the barrier the chakra barrier grinded away the chain but inside nii was losing speed the chain broke first cracking before violently dissipating the force enough to unbalance niji out of his Ultimate Defense the remaining clones immediately pounced on him niiji put up a desperate defense initially successfully keeping them at Bay but then the earlier half ring of clones charged in forcing nii to face them no time to start spinning for new Katon without meaning to he allowed a clone to enter the hyuga secret blind spot the opportunistic Clone Landing a blow on his head niir reacted immediately but the rash action left him open for another clone who took a cheap shot at his open wounds in his side shocking him with pain even as he dispelled the offending clone more blows found chinx's defense even as he nearly dispelled all them another clone came to his right side clearly attempting to hit his wounds his palm lashed out but surprisingly the Clone left arm raised in defense nii's Palm slapped against it but the Clone didn't dispel instead thundering Its Right fist into his side he is the real one nii thought before grunting in pain as the attack hid but before he could do anything nuto right hand grabbed unto the offending Palm using it to drag nii's sight into his Rising knee The Cry of pain told nuto the pain broke through the boy's impressive mental fortitude using the opening a remaining clone kicked nii's legs under him another one jumped on his back as he toppled down grabbing an arm into a submission hold the Clone who kicked nii taking the other one a third restrained his legs the real nuto took out a kunai kneel down and placed it to nii's neck the bacugan enhanced glare greeted him but did not stop him from making the final taunt where is your fate now II the winner is yamaki Naruto GNA shouted stopping the match before the hyuga boy would risk his life for his pride the Clones dispelled and Naruto Rose back to his feet and walked towards the area the Medics were waiting a team quickly making its way over towards niji hoisting him up as they tried to staunch the bleeding only the foreign public applauded for nuto impressed ferocity of the fight and the will both boys displayed to win nii looked at the sky as he was turned around Darkness encroaching his vision where is my fate indeed he could not help but think he rose above it he had to accept then his taunt at the beginning of the match echoed through his mind who Could That hanata am I truly that blind Darkness claimed him before he could answer himself page balcony as the fight started uzamaki Naruto kashina echoed after the announcer she turned towards heisen that would not be my uzamaki Naruto I hope she asked with anger blazing in her eyes here is Insight it is he replied plainly I hope he was treated well despite being the unwilling container then Iris eyes widened at her blatantly revealing a secret in front of a third party but did not answer that was answer enough for kha we will have words she said with a glare yes we will hear as and glared back you can fight it out later shinkiro spoke gruffly we have Jen and to judge both of them are doing well he said as Naro made his second attack with his chains perisan nodded and focused on the fight shinkiro and kha shared a glance the final part of their misdirection campaign complete Kash was surprised hin did not interrogate her on the usage of the Uzumaki bloodline I should have told him not to use it until the Invasion on the other hand he needs it without resorting to the caoi she noted to herself as Naruto started the final Clash of chain against Kon both have the strength of vuan and shinkiro mused aloud however the hyuga Allies too much on his clan arts and did not seek a way to escape being surrounded I do not think he is ready just yet harisen and kha nodded their agreement the uzamaki clearly lacks experience he was surprised multiple times and underestimated the hyuga speed he needs more experience before climbing the ranks I am surprised you let such a green Jen and participate Hokage Dono pis in frowned realizing Kakashi did a below par amount of missions with his team I agree kazaki Dono he replied Down Below in the arena Naruto walked into the hallway connecting to the participant Al Cove in the hallway stood a single amboo he wore a mask with red markings Naruto stiffened damn it I was so focused on beating nii I completely forgot I shouldn't be able to use my chains don't worry Naruto K nothing is wrong spoke the Ambu his voice familiar to Naruto knowing he couldn't use the mank real name helmet he asked he could see him blink through the eye holes and then he swore saw the smug smile under the mask correct Naruto K should sasu be disqualified take your time fighting gar Kabuto said cryptically Aro nodded clearly there was a backup planning quassuk and gar didn't Clash having said his peace Kabuto swirled around and walked away Naruto continued his track he played the fight in his mind damn I was so focused on beating him down I completely forgot to leave him a mark to remember me by I could have poked out an eye at least arriving at the contestant Al Cove he nodded towards the sand siblings before standing next to Shikamaru croud STS Lee gaped he couldn't believe the Rival he so far failed to beat was defeated by a junior jennin such a youthful fight guy exclaimed tears in his eyes perhaps this defeat will set niji on youthful minid tenton was utterly surprised too not leaving niiji Was Defeated and only able to use one of his Aces over at team kurai the emotions were mixed hanada was happy nuto managed to win and her cousin was not badly hurt kibba was angry niiji failed to beat up nuto still smarting over his loss his mother took his defeat as an excuse to train him into the ground Sho observed it all quietly having nothing against Naruto although he was intrigued by the chakra chains ganai was angry the boy had won but the anger was less than usual because she saw kha sitting in the cage balcony alive and well she could not wait to talk with her surrogate mother asking her where she was Dias suuma behind Team Kur and I chatted over Naruto's surprising progress impressed by the fight Asuma himself slowly took a drag from his cigar unlike most others present his stay at the 12 Guardians allowed him intricate knowledge over the Lesser known Bloodlines and he was well aware that Naruto's chakra chains indicated him as a main branch family member of the Uzumaki family despite his lack of red hair he had also seen Kina and it was quite likely in his mind that she was the boy's mother with her being a cage of foreign Village the nonsense koha but the boy through could be used as blackmail against koha the potential to tarnish koha's image was quite great zakura seeing the power and ferocity of the fight could not help but wonder what she was doing in her life Naro seemed to have improved by a giant leap deep down she had to admit he was Far stronger than she credited him for something he showed repeatedly in the forest what have I been doing she asked herself realizing how much she did not train while Nar and sasu trained themselves hard the next match will be gar ofsa against a chasuk from kohna declared gar appeared at his starting point in an explosion of sand saso did not appear the public started to fidget wondering where koha's Golden Boy was here Isen up in the cage balcony side I see he has taken Kakashi's habits he spoke tiredly however it's Unbecoming of a chunin to be late I think I will disqualify him Bish and shinkiro shared a glance although they had a backup plan it relied on GAR to control his hunger for battle usin KIRO made a contemplative sound perhaps we can push their match back the AA boy is very popular is he not herzen nodded hesitantly perhaps we can push the match back to the end his lateness will be taken up in his judgment Thea chuckled you just want to see your own boy in action shinkiro Khan the kazaki had Shrugged guilty as charged but agree please push back the match Hokage Dono her is and watch the byplay between the other two leaders they know each other well why would they want sassu to fight very well he stood up GNA pushed the match to the back and start the next one this was greeted by a cheer from most koha inhabitants baruto muttered something about favoritism gar looked bored out of his mind kanguro and zaku glanced at each other the next match will be K kurova against abumi zaku from Odo could you please make your way down here both walked down the hallway leading to the arena quickly glancing around to make sure nobody was listening in kanguro Spoke softly get hit by the needles in the mouth before handing zaku a small vial zaku started to open it but was stopped by a soft afterwards and quickly pocketed the vial both soon stood at the center of the Arena are you both ready he asked the pair getting two nods in return well then the second match Starts Now GNA shouted upon the signal canura leapt backwards unfurling the white package on his back revealing his puppet zaku quickly raised his arms and shouted decapitating Airwaves kanguro jumped left to avoid the wind wave he sent his puppet right zaku tried to keep an eye on both but the puppet suddenly charged forcing zaku to lose sight of kanguro diving under the multi arm jab before making a roll to avoid impalement by a hidden wrist knife zaku raised his arm aiming at one of the limbs but he purposefully hesitated for a second allowing kanguro to move his puppet to avoid damaging it zaku rapidly backpedal away from the puppet who telegraphed its next attack aiming two of its arms the same way as Aku did before suddenly a slot opened and a hail of senman shot out zaku aimed his own arms with open Palms decapitating Airwaves he countered blowing away the needles the puppet dodged and fired another volley which zaku countered the puppet's mouth flew open showing the hidden launcher underneath unable to see kanguro himself zaku took it as a signal to get hurt however getting hit from this distance would look suspicious so he charged making it look like he would try to destroy the puppet up close the puppet also shot forward hidden wrist blades popping out of each arm as the pair closed the mouth lock fired zaku dodged but left his legs exposed two bites of pain informed him he successfully got himself hurt damn seeing yourself getting hurt as a mission what I do for Odo he thought Riley to himself soon enough his vision started to blur his sense of balance started to feel off nearly getting himself cut up by a slash from the puppet rapidly retreating he shouted loudly what did you do to me zaku sincerely hoped kanguro understood his poison took hold he would not be able to dodge properly in the state he did the puppet halted its charge from the trees on the arena kanguro shouted back you have been poisoned forfeit zaku found he put up a convincing display of frustrated anger before sloughing I forfeit give me the antidote he demanded Winer by forfeit kanguro jenma declared don't worry it's not lethal kanguro replied as he revealed himself you'll be on the toilet for a while though he walked towards the place he dropped the bandages he used to hide his puppet in and reaped taking a long time to do so betting the hint zaku charged off the arena rushing by the who came up he sensed a couple followed him rushing into a public stall he closed the door behind him and started to make convincing sounds that he was very sick meanwhile he took the vile kanguro handed to him are you all right sir the medic asked unable to see him no I am acting like I am throwing my insides out of course I am all right zaku thought putting up the D ninja act he slurred out I will be fine he heard the medic ey just remember to drink enough water but take it slowly as soon the Medics were gone zaku hen himself and snuck out intent to rejoin his team before The Invasion kicked off page balcony Baku was putting up an act the cages discussed their match K sighed outwardly but inwardly she was impressed by both how they improvised a fight without orders and actually did it without spending themselves zaku is not ready to become a chuin if he plays by the puppeteers rules without trying to break free the Hokage not it is a scent I agree I am not sure about kanguro he did not get the chance to show enough he did strike me as is not decisive enough the kazakage nodded I agree he stated simply inwardly he was thinking hard why did zaku allow himself to be hit by the mouth launcher weight didn't K Kura mention he would hide his debilitating agent in a today o you are getting promoted my boy he finished his thoughts with an hidden smile proud stance iiki narrowed his eyes as zaku made his escape the same feeling of wrongness he had been feeling a lot lately surfaced once again he suspects some of his follow ninja also saw the several hesitations through the fight are they friends he asked himself the interactions between the Jen and during the first exam and preliminaries would not indicate so the oage and kazakage are quite friendly with each other however I don't like this there are too many fishy things going on iiki Rose to his feet and tend to chat with zaku can't drag him to T and I the nonsense it would trigger is to dangerous especially if they were hesitating because they are friends or some other stupid reason the bear was now on the prowl the Beast sadly smelled its prey to late BINA tamari ofsa and Nar shikima make their way down here jenma asked tamari leaped out of the AL Cove floating down serenely towards her spot thanks to her open fan Shikamaru stood and lazily started to raise his hand nuto saw the action and realized shikimaru would declare it to be Troublesome and forfeit that he would do that for something as important as this he couldn't help but think even with the knowledge the event would be canceled soon still Sask isn't here time to buy some more time he thought with a smirk show some backbone Shikamaru he shouted before booting the lazy Nara bodily out of the AL Cove and into the arena Shikamaru landed face first into he hard ground but somehow prevented getting himself hurt Naruto took the subsequent complaints about Troublesome blondes as a jolly good job well done anara picked himself up and slowly sloughed his way to his position jenma seeing the girl was rearing to go looked at Shikamaru are you ready he asked how Troublesome I don't want to hurt a girl the mari's eyebrow started to Twitch in Anger jenma upon seeing this decided to start the match not to get caught in the femine fury very well he spoke solemnly fight and with that he High tailed to the arena Edge his Retreat proved to be right upon the word fight toari fully deployed her fan and with a mighty swing tried to bisect the Nara her own plans to stretch out the fight forgotten Shikamaru proved to be agile and ducked under the horizontal cutting wind before leaping to the closest forested area in the arena slashing winds hot on his heels I can destroy these trees but that will cost me more chakra than I want to use she thought pause gave Shikamaru to think sinking down into his thinking pose while hidden he formulated a strategy forming an hand seal a shadow shot out tamari recognizing what happened jumped backward leaping onto the branch of a tree he threw the first kunai tamari dodged her eyes narrowing as she tried to figure out what theara's plan was she started to slowly circle around before she had to jump back his shadow reaching much further this time did he fake his limit last time she asked herself then she saw thanks to her movement the shadows of of the trees were pointed towards her his shadow can piggyback on other Shadows before she could think further another kunai shot from the foliage forcing her backwards she itched to swing her fan and retaliate but each kunai came from a different spot meaning unless she went all out she would not be able to land a hit gritting in her teeth in frustration she allowed herself to be hurted around she suddenly saw something in the corner of her eye a parachute he tries to make a spot for his shadow to extend to she moved the other way gaining distance thinking had seen through his plan the sudden freezing up told her otherwise how she asked shocked in response he turned his head and her turned with it the parachute she saw earlier was just a part of the plan his shadow extended from the forest into the shadows of a few of the throne kunai through the shadow of the parachute into the trench nuto made when he attacked to break nii's C the large semicircular trench was deep enough to cast a shadow incited tamari stood on the other end shikim raised his hand tamari was forced to follow what is he is doing the girl thought Panic coming to the front Proctor I forfeit jenma blinked Winter by forfeit toari why you had me tamari demanded I am nearly out of chakra and winning would be to Troublesome tamari felt the urge to Pummel the lazy Nara but refrained she huffed childishly before walking towards the exit of the Arena Pig balcony a very tactical fight I would suggest you both promote them kha advised here is in spoke up I agree with Shikamaru but tamari no offence to your daughter kazaki Dono just went along ASA shook her head no she tried to form counter plan and did not unleash wanting destruction trying to get her objective restraint is an important part too something most genen and lack theara as expected from the clan just proved Superior during this tactical play bazak tapped his chin I will consider it I will ask if Baki thinks she is ready butar ofsa and a chasuk from koha enter the arena jenma shouted once again gar appeared in A Storm of sand but his opponent was nowhere to be seen the public started to get Restless jenma glanced at herzen waiting for the order to disqualify him he turned to his fellow cages well then shall I disqualify him the kazakage nodded slowly seeing no way to delay the match further Kino also nodded gisen turned back to face jenma and stood up to announce it himself before he could however a whirlwind of leaves appeared in the arena and sasu and Kakashi appeared Kakashi I smiled towards jenma are we on time he asked asked innocently Sask was seconds away from being disqualified Kakashi ey smile disappeared and he looked shocked to the cage balcony he stared straight into herzen's disapproving eyes but nearly dropped his book when he saw kha kha is alive he robotically teleported to his fellow Joan and Sensei a feeling of Glee entered him perhaps she is here to kill the demon getting revenge for her husband she must have stayed out of sight to get stronger he was pulled out of his thoughts by gu jabbering H did you say something he ignored gu random about youth congratulations about nii's Victory Kakashi spoke nii lost guy bit out not angry that nii lost but that Kakashi just presumed his own student Was Defeated Bashi looked surprised he did before scowling must be the Demon's power then I know it trains its mortal shell hard but without proper guidance he shouldn't be strong enough to beat nii but how is this possible without anybody noticing down in the arena Sask stood confidently prepared to fall to the might of the AA Clan he spoke out of rote gar just looked bored his arms crossed I just have to fight this weakling for 5 minutes then I can go all out against the strongest of this place yes I will feel alive he glanced at his siblings and I will keep them safe sasu gritted his teeth annoyed at being ignored are you too ready jenma asked well then fight outside kenoa walls well hidden between the patrol routes provided by Odo spies covenants of Summoners waited patiently a Watchman was keeping an eye on the Life feed from the arena signal the men to gather their chakra into arrays of seals along the line the man and woman from Odo and sunna made their final checks preparing to go into war saso shot forward and respond Sharingan blazing into life showing greatly increased speed his first straight jab was blocked by garisan defense sasu cidly Sid stepped jabbing again this time his blow glanced off gar sand armor while the third blow was blocked again raising an eyebrow in interest gar released more sand the extra sand blocking the next Flurry of Blows betting bored again gar raised an arm sand flowing further out of the gourd soon a shuriken he intoned the sand rapidly shaping into shuriken before launching themselves at Sask who ducked under first wave leapt over the second before backpedaling further thanks to his bloodline easily predicating the paths of the projectiles saso scowled despite avoiding any damage himself he had yet to land a blow his pride was getting hurt gently tapping into the cursed seal he felt extra power flow through him Bashi raised an eyebrow he faintly felt the cursed seal power power but he didn't see the Telltale dark chakra anko felt it too and she started to feel her own seal hissing all the while Kakashi considered interfering but with the Hokage displeased by his lateness he did not want to ruin sasukes chances to become chuin GNA seemed not to notice with increased speed and vigor sasu charged forward again once again Landing blows through gara's mobile sand defense but none of the damage truly stuck and soon sasu sported a bloody gash on his arm when a sand shuriken managed to Nick him despite the warning from his eyes he couldn't move away quickly enough growling in frustration but unable to draw more power on the mark lest it becomes visible he decided to pull out his Ace getting distance from gar he was glad the deranged boy stayed on the spot like a loyal puppy waiting to be kicked sassu thought cruy as he started the 12 hand seals Gori he exclaimed lightning chirping like a thousand Birds putting his remaining power into his legs saso shot forward jadori charged hand hanging low cutting a shallow trench despite what the outside whir thought gar had learned a lesson from fighting Lee it is one thing feeling alive fighting a strong opponent but taking a pummeling is a bad idea it worries the few people he cared about hence as saso rapidly closed he pulled apart his gourd and pulled as his sand into a solid wall in front of him the moment he was sure he was out of the AA sight he started to move out of the way too late however and a Lightning Charge jab broke through the wall cutting into his shoulder red liquid started to gush from the wound gar looked horrified at it my bloody managed to exclaim looking back at the wall frowning he pushed the entire structure away from him with his chakra the loud thud indicating he succeeded in pushing away the AA as the sand reather around him he locked eyes with his sister and brother he saw unabashed worry in both their eyes and his anger surged and insane glint appearing in garunk eyes you words failed him die the boy raged tapping into shukaku's chakra bisha cursed inwardly fervently hoping at least the eyes would survive the mauling from the enraged inin cricky she glanced at shinkuro whose hand was resting on the arm of the chair one finger extended Sask who initially beamed his superiority was now forced to run for his life the anger gar launched one sharp sand projectile after the other it was clear for everyone present the very Earth gar stood on was grinded into sand by chakra alone fueling The Barrage bash realizing that GAR might be too enraged to notice the starting signal discreetly dropped some explosive tags under her seat when shinkuro pulled in his last finger both leaped upward shinkuro using his hand to drag a surprised pison by the Scruff of his neck the rest of the public saw the cage balcony suddenly be covered in Smoke moments later it violently exploded
