Meanwhile at gate 15
There were three grass ninjas who saw the gates opening
"Target the rookies first…." A fat man said.
"They said that from now on, it's okay to kill," a woman lifted her hat and spoke.
>>OPEN!<<
(Whoosh!)
The sound ninja team started running in.
"Look for the brats!" The woman said as the trio suddenly increased their speed.
A few minutes later….
"WAIT!" Naruto screamed.
Sasuke and Sakura stopped. Naruto turned towards a particular direction as he looked towards a tree top.
"So which one do you have, the Heaven or the Earth?"
"Crap!"
A man in pale yellow colour full body suit with a mask flew out trying to flee away.
Naruto vanished from his spot,
He reappeared behind the man as he pinned him down.
"Speak!" Naruto said in a cold voice.
"It's unlucky! I came on my own to conceal my presence but that became my enemy… "
"conceal your presence?" Naruto asked in a mocking tone.
"Your aura pretty much screamed to me that you were hiding"
Meanwhile Sakura had a bewildered expression on her face.
"There was a person hiding, how did Naruto find out?"
Sakura asked Sasuke.
"He is a sensory type." Sasuke explained as he turned back towards Naruto.
"Whoah" Sakura became surprised looking at Naruto in a different light.
"Even if I have the scroll…..You are looking for….."
"It is not on me right now" The man spoke as he tried to struggle.
"I will let you go now…" Naruto said upon which the man ran in top speed away from the scene.
"Why did you let him go?" Sasuke asked seeing Naruto reappear in front of him.
"You heard him…. He did not have the scroll" Naruto smiled back.
The trio kept going forwards for a while until they came across an open spot,
Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura sat down to take a break.
Sasuke faced the group,
"It's about 10 km from the gates to the tower, and we have about five days to get the scroll"
"I think it would be wise for us to take our time, to reach the last two kilometres around the tower, which would be crawling with other teams trying to snatch the scroll as they set an ambush…"
"Mmm" Sakura and Naruto nodded.
At this moment Naruto became surprised
("Looks like he has arrived, with two other ninjas. huh?")
Naruto immediately placed his palms on Sasuke's and Sakura's shoulders.
"Naruto, What… are you doing?" Sakura asked feeling irritated at Naruto's gesture.
"There are three…" Naruto murmured upon which a strong wind blew forcing the group apart as it destroyed the open space.
"A new enemy?!" Sasuke shouted as he tried blocking against the violent burst of wind upon which a huge cloud of sand appeared,
The sand cloud slowly disappeared revealing three figures.
"You guys go play around…."
"I'll go alone!"
The woman commented as the two ninjas beside her disappeared.
"Where's Naruto?" Sasuke wondered as both Sasuke and Sakura were left standing alone in the forest.
The woman then came slowly into the view of Sasuke and Sakura.
"Oh!, You are not letting your guard down."
"This will be more fun than I thought."
The woman commented.
("This person's ….. too creepy!") Sakura thought as she observed the woman.
Meanwhile
Naruto saw a Giant snake appear in front of him.
(HIISSSSSSS!!!!!!)
The snake made a sound as it came forward.
Naruto smiled as he cracked his knuckles
The yellow cloak appeared as he ran forward and jumped over the snake.
(WHOOSH!)
The snake moved towards Naruto as it opened its mouth.
Naruto's chakra grew into an enlarged hand as it grabbed the open mouth and closed it shut.
The giant snake started wriggling around.
He used his hand on the snake that was connected to his body to direct him as he safely landed above the snake.
After he landed Naruto then used his other chakra arm as he closed it into a fist and raised his hand up.
The chakra hand turned into an enlarged fist that floated right above the neck of the Snake.
"Hah!" Naruto shouted as he slammed his hand.
(BOOM!) the snake was crushed into the ground no longer bothering to move.
He then released the Nine tails form and summoned 3 shadow clones.
The clones sat down on the ground as they slowly started collecting the Nature Energy around.
Naruto took a breath trying to concentrate.
He then placed his palm on the ground as he inscribed a marking.
Meanwhile the woman faced Sasuke and Sakura revealing a navy blue scroll in her hand.
"hahahaha"
The woman laughed eerily.
"You want the Earth Scroll don't you?"
"Cause you have the Heaven Scroll" She continued as she brought the scroll near her face upon which her tongue tongue slithered out.
("What….the….") Sasuke thought.
("…") while Sakura stared.
Both of them watched the woman perform the most grossest act as she wrapped her tongue around the scroll and started to swallow it down whole…..
(Author's note - you got a deep throat going for ya…. ;) oops this is PG-13 :) )
She gulped it down as she said.
"Well, let's begin..."
"the battle for the scrolls."
"LIFE OR DEATH!" She said with a firm voice as she unleashed a powerful killing intent.
"NARUTO!" Kurama cautioned.
"Yeah! I know" Naruto said as he flew to the direction of the strong killing intent.
(poof) One of the shadow clones disappeared as Naruto closed his eyes
After 2 jumps Naruto saw the scene where Sasuke and Sakura had been petrified with fear written all over their face.
("Perfect") Naruto thought as he activated
(Whoosh!) Naruto had teleported.
Sasuke and Sakura fell down as they knelt on the ground.
(katcha!)
(katcha!)
Naruto appeared as he sent a palm against the nape of the duo forcing them to become unconscious.
(Author's note - Naruto had placed the flying raijin jutsu formula onto Sasuke and Sakura when he placed his palms on their shoulders.)
Before Sasuke and Sakura could fall down.
Naruto collected the two as he glared into the woman's eye and dropped a kunai before he teleported once again.
(Whoosh!) Naruto appeared in the place he had marked as he dropped the two onto the ground gently.
(Whoosh!) Naruto teleported as he once again reappeared in front of the woman, where he had last dropped the Kunai.
"Are you Naruto?" The woman asked with an unpleasant voice.
Naruto then looked towards the woman.
"I am Uzumaki Naruto." He calmly stated.
"Seems like you brought that snake down brilliantly. But what surprises me more is that you seem to know the body flicker technique or should I specifically say the Fourth's Flying thunder god." The woman said.
Naruto looked carefully at her as he said
"You seem to know a lot about my team and especially some history about the leaf village… So why don't you show yourself by removing that mask of yours!"
The woman frowned at this thought as she replied.
"It is currently inconvenient to show my face in the village for now…." She tried to excuse herself.
"I know it is you…..Orochimaru…" Naruto continued.
"IMPOSSIBLE…" Orochimaru screamed.
"How did you know?" He asked feeling as though his plans had been seen through.
"Oh! You just said it yourself…" Naruto said as he sneered internally.
Orochimaru pulled a long face as he slowly pulled his mask off.
("Hah! How I missed that expression, That is the most fitting expression Orochimaru had back before he changed, The one he has now is kind of hard to figure out as it reveals no emotions, maybe he should have just stayed a bad guy…..But I am here to turn him back once again….") Naruto sighed as he thought.
"Now that you know me, I must silence you….." Orochimaru said as he suddenly jumped towards the ground as he simultaneously converted his lower body to that of a snake's tail and moved around quickly.
Naruto activated as he started running away from Orochimaru.
Orochimaru stopped for a moment as he sneered
"Looks like my suspicions were correct, you are indeed the son of the fourth hokage."
Orochimaru said as he started moving around once again.
Naruto kept dodging every time he got close as he jumped in another direction.
Meanwhile
On a grassland beside the training field
Three examiners stood by a graveyard.
"There are three corpses" One of them spoke.
"This is some kind of Ninja Art isn't it?" The other one suggested.
"This is bad"
"We have a problem from the get go….Damn it!" The third examiner commented as he examined the corpses up close.
"Inform Anko, the proctor of the second test." He said after a while.
"Yes, Sir!" The second examiner responded as he disappeared.
Meanwhile at the gates of the 44th training ground
Anko sat peacefully having dumplings while also drinking red bean soup on the side.
"Okay, Once I've eaten this,I should break through and go wait at the tower for the kids."
"With this program, the quick kids should clear it soon…."
Anko said as she ate the last dumpling on the stick and threw the stick to a nearby tree.
"The Leaf Village symbol, is complete!" She declared being proud of her artistic skill.
(WHOOSH!)
"We have a problem, Anko-sama!"
"Huh? What, so suddenly" Anko asked with a lazy voice.
"Corpses three of them!"
"Huh?"
"Moreover, they're strange."
"Anyway, please come!" The second examiner begged Anko.
"Strange?" Anko thought.
The duo then left to check the corpses.
