Angel of Death
Chapter 12: Second Exam

Iroh frowned as he looked out over the gardens of his home. It had been several months since but in his free time his mind wandered back to the last conversation he had shared with his old friend Sarutobi Hiruzen. To learn that the quiet, calm boy that had saved not only himself but his niece and nephew from assassination those few short years ago was of the Uzumaki bloodline was shocking. He had thought that with the death of Kushina the entire clan had died out yet he had been around from the beginning and he held no knowledge of it. No in truth it was more like that knowledge had been kept from him as Sarutobi had made clear and spoke as if all of that knowledge was things he’d already known. It meant that somehow he was receiving reports that weren’t the full truth from Konoha and his chain had become corrupted. At the same time he was worried there was a large frame of time in which no one had any knowledge of what the boy had been up to. Yet he remembered their first meeting the boy had simply stepped out of the shadows and cut down three assassins that he himself had missed. There had been no hesitation in his movements and they’d been quick, far too quick for the two children to see.
He knew now that the assassins had been meant to take him out and put in place someone who one Shimura Danzo would be able to have a measure of control over. Back then the boys eyes had been dark as if he was fighting within his own private war. He had also held a particular scent, one that he himself recognized due to the time he’d spent fighting during the previous wars, that of blood. It had been like the boy had been soaked in it which told him in no uncertain terms he’d seen more than his fair share of battlefields. However thanks to the fact that Hiruzen was now utilizing his monkey summons to communicate the more important matters with him he now knew that somewhere within that timeframe he’d become an agent of the Shinigami and even bore the marking to prove it. Such a thing was shocking as while most were unaware their hadn’t been one since Senju Hashirama. That Naruto held that title now would tell anyone knowledgeable not only was he important but that there was trouble ahead of them.
“Uncle, you called for us?” questioned a voice pulling him from his musing.
Turning towards the voice he was greeted to the sight of his niece and nephew standing before him. His nephew Zuko at age 17 stood at about 5’7 with long black hair and amber colored eyes. He wore a pair of deep red robes with a gold trim around the collar and despite his topknot still had enough hair for a tail to fall down to his shoulder blades. His niece Azula was 15 and stood at about 5’4 like her brother she had black hair and amber colored eyes. However her hair was much longer all of it pulled up into the topknot while to bangs framed her face and she also wore a deep red robe with the golden trim along the edges.
“I will be heading to Tetsu no Kuni soon to view the third portion of the Chuunin Exams being held there. I’d like for the two of you to join me.” Said Iroh.
“I may have to push my schedule around but I don’t mind.” Said Zuko after a moment.
“I suppose I have nothing better to do.” Said Azula after a moment.
“Good. I think young Naruto will be happy to see the two of you.” Said Iroh.
“Naruto?” questioned Zuko.
“He is taking part in the exam. I don’t think his skills have slipped enough for him not to make it to the final matches. Azula if you like you can invite those two friends of yours.” Said Iroh; watching the small blush on her face with amusement.

Naruto had known that something was off. Anko’s directions had made the test seem too easy; he should’ve known she’d left something out. That information had been given to them by Kakashi in the form of a riddle that once answered directed them to the mouth of the Three Wolves Mountain. That alone was enough to put a frown on his face; despite the lack of snow covering the area Tetsu no Kuni not the safest of places and had its fair share of predator type animals. The only lucky thing was that the border village they were end sat practically on top of the mountain, but they’d still have to work their way down and then worry about navigating the caves that from what he heard covered quite a bit of distance.
“Naruto you’ve traveled a lot right? Have you ever heard of these caves?” questioned Sasuke.
“Only rumors; from what I was told the caves cover a large portion of the country and had been constructed as both a series of escape tunnels and as a manner of attack in case the samurai ever found themselves boxed into their village.” Said Naruto with a frown.
“The problem however is that once inside we’ll be fighting at half efficiency. Jutsu will be out as even the slightest mistake with a jutsu could cause sections of the caves to collapse. Everything in their will be a closed ranged battle.” Said Naruto before he came to a halt surprising the other two.
“You two go on ahead. I’ll catch up.” Said the blond.
“What’s up?” questioned Sasuke.
“I’ve got to drain the hose.” Explained the blond getting an understanding nod from Sasuke and a disgusted look from Sakura.
As he moved off into the thicket of trees to handle his business he barely managed to settle before an Ame-nin leapt out at him from the treetops while another emerged from the ground and grabbed hold of his legs. As the leaping genin landed he swung a kunai down on the blond only for him to fall right threw him much to his shock.
“You know your eyes are slow.” said Naruto with his back pressed up against him.
The Ame genin could only go wide eyed before his head rolled off of his shoulders. At the same time the other leapt from the ground only for Naruto to dodge around his lunge and take his head off as well. In the distance the third genin could only look on with wide fearful eyes at the sight of his teammates being so casually killed despite the genjutsu he himself had prepared. His eyes widened as the blond seemingly vanished and he began looking around frantically searching for the boy.
“I’m over here.” said the blond from behind him causing the teen to jump nearly out of his skin.
“H-how?” stuttered out the Ame nin.
“It doesn’t matter, you’re already dead.” Just as this was said the Ame-nin fell to the ground holding a large wound over his stomach region.
‘Well it seems my speed training at least paid off. None of these weaklings were able to follow my movements.’ Thought the blond as he went about checking the new corpse for the needed scroll as well as extra supplies.
When he finally caught up to his two teammates they were standing over a ledge that gave them quite the view of the surrounding area. The Plains below stretched out as far as the eye could see and even further beyond that. The sight absently reminded all three of the sights one could see from atop the Hokage Monument. They could also see a few teams making their way down the paths laid before them and the sight caused two of them to narrow their eyes.
“Alright you two let’s go.”
With that said the blond walked right over the edge surprising his two teammates who looked down to find him walking along the bottom of it into a cave obviously using chakra to stay adhered to the surface. The inside of the cave was just as they expected dark, and though there was more than enough room for them to walk fighting in such a confined space would be a chore. Even still they descended deeper in so that they could get the troublesome exam over with.

A knock on his door caused a grumbling Sarutobi Asuma to wonder why it was he’d allowed the trio of kids he called students to know where his room was almost as soon as he opened the door. Looking at their faces he could tell that they had at least managed to pass the first exam unlike a lot of other teams that had been weeded out by the two first round tests. He could see that Shikamaru was annoyed and probably wishing he’d failed on purpose just so that he didn’t have to go through anything else. Not caring about that for a moment he picked up the scroll he’d been given earlier in the day and handed it to Ino who stood in the center.
“So would you mind telling us where the next exam takes place?” questioned Shikamaru.
“That’s something you need to figure out yourself. All I can tell you is that the exam area is a maze and that to pass you need to come out within a forested area in the given timeframe. On a side note you three had better pass, I have a lot of money saying that you’ll make it to the third round.” Said Asuma causing Shikamaru to sigh and roll his eyes while Ino’s eyebrow twitched at the man’s words.
With nothing left to say the trio of genin left allowing Asuma to close his door. Walking back into the room he was greeted to the sight of the nude form of Kurenai her legs open in invitation while one of her hands was buried within her folds. Smirking at the sight he thanked his luck for being with him today.

Nii Yugito sighed as she looked out at the streets from her seat in the fairly busy café. Though not a jounin instructor she had been tasked by the Raikage to act in the capacity for a particular team of genin. The genin in question were the students of ‘Kumo’s Guardian’ known as B. The team was odd being composed of two kunoichi and one shinobi, a rarity in the shinobi world. B had been appointed the Guardian of Kumo by A the Yondaime Raikage shortly after he took over after the Sandaime’s death. She however believed that the man simply wanted to keep his brother safe and as such chained him to the village and proclaimed him ‘Guardian.’ She didn’t particularly care one way or another, it only meant she got to perform more missions which had eventually cemented her as the third strongest in the entire village.
The team was led by the fifteen year old Samui who was the only one she could actually tolerate. Unlike her two teammates Samui was generally calm and quiet and seemed to possess a maturity beyond her age. The other kunoichi was Karui who was far too temperamental for her own good and more often than not ran on her emotions without thought. Omoi however seemed to be her opposite cautious and level headed though he tended to over exaggerate the results of actions. Despite their flaws she was sure all three would be promoted after this exam as all three were of a chunin’s level of ability, they’d have probably already been promoted if B hadn’t sheltered them away for their training once he got them. In fact he had only allowed them out for missions before calling them back to continue their training. Such thoughts were put on hold as she caught sight of a figure she recognized instantly from the bingo books.
Haku stilled suddenly as she felt a set of eyes set themselves upon her. Discretely checking her surroundings she immediately caught sight of her watcher who was a blond woman sitting at the window seat of a nearby café. She recognized her instantly as Ni Yugito, a jounin from Kumo and more importantly the vessel of the Nibi no Bakeneko. Making a note of her presence in the village she continued her touring which was really a scouting of the jounin ninja within the village. Unlike many others as a Mibu she was not taking this chance as vacation time, but scouting the opposition, after all one had to always have intel on the enemy. More specifically she needed a way to get a foothold into Iwa and Kumo so she was taking note of them the most. If they got a high enough person of interest within either of those villages it would make their plans much easier to put into action. After all no one said that a revolution absolutely had to be bloody and if she had her way theirs would be the cleanest in history.

Elsewhere a trio of Iwa nin walked calmly through the cave system in search of the safe zone. This team like most was composed of only a single kunoichi and two males. The kunoichi of the bunch went by the name of Kurotsuchi, the fifteen year old granddaughter of the Sandaime Tsuchikage. She stood at 5’3 and had short, black hair and pupil-less pink eyes; her outfit consisted of a deep red shirt and a pair of black pants, with her hitae-tae secured to her forehead. Her teammates went by the names of Okita Sojiro and Udo Takeshi. Sojiro appeared to be about 14 and was about 5’4” and had brown hair shaped in a bowl style around his head with a ponytail that started at the top of his head and fell to his mid-back. He wore a grey hakama with a dark blue kosode with a katana strapped to his side secured by the obi he wore.
Takeshi dressed in a similar way only his kosode was light green and he wore a black spandex suit beneath it. He himself appeared to be about 13 he had black hair with matching eyes and stood at about 5’0 with his katana strapped to his side in a similar way. In truth she didn’t know why her grandfather had made the two genin much less paired them with her, Sojiro tended to keep to himself when not reigning in the surprising amount of bloodlust that Takeshi had. Aside from that neither of them carried themselves like ninja and from what she had seen appeared to carry themselves more like the samurai did. It’s not like it really mattered though, she’d just been placed with them for the exams and she honestly doubted that afterwards she’d ever be bothered by them again. Her thoughts however were halted as they came unto a split path with four paths they could take.
“We'll split up and meet back here in an hour.” Said Sojiro making an ‘X’ along the ground with his sword before wandering down one of the paths.

A bored look settled over Gaara’s face as the trio of ninja appeared to block his path. Looking them over he found that the group was a team from Ame all of which seemed to dress identical to one another. The leader of the bunch however had spiky brown hair with a strip of gauze covering his forehead and his mouth partly stitched. He also had two scars running up his cheek, one of which has blinded his right eye.
“Well now you guys look lost. I’ll tell you what give us your scroll and that kunoichi you have there and we’ll let the two of you go on your way.” Said the leader as he stepped forward with a cocky smirk on his face.
“He’s dead.” Muttered Kankuro with a sigh.
As if responding to his words the trio of Ame nin suddenly found themselves engulfed in a large ball made of sand. For a few seconds they could be heard trying to break out before the sounds cut off as the ball suddenly imploded and the three were crushed within it. Once done the sand pulled back leaving the mangled corpses of its victims and flew over to Gaara applying itself to his gourd while a small portion lingered in front of Gaara presenting him with the scroll. Kankuro shook his head, it had been quite a while since he’d seen Gaara kill someone in such a fashion, sure he did it but nowhere near as much as everyone assumed he would be doing so when he made his reappearance.
“Weaklings have no business trying to make demands of me.” Said Gaara lowly as if he had read Kankuro’s mind before he walked off.

Nara Shikamaru frowned as he walked through the cave. Unlike many other teams his hadn’t necessarily realized it was a cave they were searching for and had actually been chased into it. He was under no delusions as of all the teams currently in attendance his was most likely the weakest. Ino had been until recently a rabid fangirl and hadn’t taken her training seriously until she’d found out the extent of training that Sakura was getting. He himself was admittedly a lazy ass and would prefer to put in the least effort possible in any given situation, an attitude that had rubbed off on his other teammate Choji. Despite the fact that they all came from powerful clans they all really only knew one jutsu from their particular clans, and while he himself had gotten extra training from Naruto like all things he’d put in the minimum amount of effort.
Because of this the plan of his team was more often than not to run away, until they could work out a way to get their opponent to fall into their jutsu. This time they hadn’t gotten to that point and instead had jumped into a thicket of bushes only to continue forward rolling along the ground. Knowing that going back out would be a bad idea they had decided to push forward. From here on they would have to play the ambush game, he could use the darkness of the cave to great effect with his shadow and with the right positioning Ino’s jutsu would be a godsend as no one would be able to see it coming. Of course that would be easier said than done especially if Ino kept up her consistent jabbering of nonsense just because she was a little annoyed.
“Hey Shika, I was wondering if this safe zone is in the caves how would we find it?” questioned Choji his words even halting Ino’s tirade.
“Look for water. It’s only logical that they would place the safe zone near a ready source of water, especially if it would be used a lot. As such we’d only have to find and follow the water to find the place.” Explained Shikamaru.

Fu sighed as she leaned against the cave wall. She was honestly bored as she hadn’t encountered anyone she felt was worth fighting the whole time they’d been traveling. Even now she merely leaned against the wall watching as her two so called teammates fought the team of Kusa-nin that they had encountered. They were in one of the deeper sections of the caves and thus had more room to fight with though both teams were still opting against using ninjutsu. It didn’t bother her one bit as she knew that her so called teammates actually hated her as did most people in Taki. When she had woken up in a new place so many years ago she’d had no intentions of ever going back to Taki, however she had bitten the bullet so to speak and gone back if only so that their plans could be realized easier.
In truth Taki was a minor village and had no real strength to speak of. However the fact remains they were the closest of the minor villages to reaching the strength of the Great Five as they were the only one to possess a bijuu, theirs being the Nanabi no Kabutomushi which they’d sealed into Fu. Ironically enough when she had disappeared their only saving grace was that people still thought she was in Taki. When she returned however she and the village council had a sit down meeting and they had agreed to certain conditions for which she would stay, of course this was after she’d gained audience with the Daimyo who had seen things her way. Initially they had wanted her to become a shinobi in the beginning but having no true ninja training she had spent the last few years learning and had only recently had she gained her hitae-tae. Of course she was still dangerous even before that her speed combined with her taijutsu and kenjutsu had ensured that, as even without ninjutsu and genjutsu she was the superior of many of their shinobi.
Even still she rolled her eyes as one of the Kusa nin shot forward to attack her and simply tilted her head to the side letting the fool slam his fist into the cave wall. In the next instant she raised her right arm and back fisted him with such force he went flying down the tunnel before landing in a roll and sliding to a stop several feet away. That done she looked back towards the others who were still fighting, sighed again and leaned against the wall.

Naruto frowned as he made his way through the dark maze-like caverns of the cave. He had been separated from his team some time ago, each of them having been forced to scramble as the ground beneath them tried to swallow them whole. He was actually surprised that anyone would try the usage of such a jutsu within a cave, yet clearly he hadn’t given some people the full credit that they deserved. His thoughts on the matter however were derailed as he came across a rather peculiar sight. With her back against the cave wall a redheaded girl was cowering as a large creature snarled and approached her. The creature was in all actuality a bear only it was twice as big as any full grown bear had a right to be. The bear’s fur was pitch black and marred with splashes of red that thanks to his nose Naruto knew to be fresh blood.
As if it sensed his presence the beast turned and Naruto was greeted to the sight of its blood red eyes. It’s muzzle was also covered in blood as were the large fangs and the claws that tore gouges into the ground as it moved. The sight of these things told him he was dealing with no mere beast, but a demon. Then as if to confirm his thoughs the beast roared and slammed a paw to the ground causing jagged spears of rock to burst out from the ground straight at him. Dodging to the side to avoid the attack he looked up to find the large beast closing the distance far too quickly for a beast of its size should be capable of. Still Naruto saw it coming and for a moment in the eyes of the redhead he seemed to vanish before suddenly appearing directly in front of her. The demon however came to a crashing stop it’s head falling from it’s body just before both of its top half separated from the bottom.
The young kunoichi however didn’t witness this particular sight however. Instead her wide eyes were now locked on the blond who now that he was close she could feel a massive chakra hiding within. Not only that but his chakra was unlike any she had ever felt before chaotic yet tempered, icy yet scorching hot. As a sensor she was used to sensing chakra’s from those around her yet she had never felt one quite like this and despite that felt that she was only scratching the surface with her senses.
“Are you injured?” questioned the blond snapping the Kusa genin from her thoughts.
“No.” answered the girl quickly.
“Then you should leave quickly. That demons carcass along with the scent of blood will lead many more here soon.” Said the blond as he turned and began to leave.
“Wait who are you?” questioned the girl
“Mibu Naruto.”
Without slowing his pace he’d delivered the answer to the question and continued his stride forwards. Once he was out of the girls sight however he burst into to smoke and her eyes went wide at the knowledge that it had been some type of Bunshin.
“So cool.” Whispered the red head in awe and sporting a blush.
Elsewhere within the tunnels Kurotsuchi grunted as her back slammed against the cave wall. Looking up she was greeted to the sight of the blond leaf nin she’d tried ambushing only to find him staring down at her with his arm still outstretched from the palm strike he’d hit her with. Standing to her feet she ran through a few quick seals and spewed out several small fireballs only for him to weave through them like they were nothing leaving them to sail further down the tunnel behind him. Narrowing her eyes she rushed him once more her fist incased in stone as she through punch after punch at him. Despite her ferocity Naruto dodged and blocked her attacks with ease thanks to his superior speed and then spotting an opening nailed her once more sending her sailing down the tunnel before landing in a rolling heap. While she staggered to her feet Naruto paused as the memories of his dispersed clone took just that moment to come to him which caused him to narrow his eyes upon the knowledge of a demon having been there.
Kurotsuchi meanwhile was trying to come up with something to win. In her time as a kunoichi she’d never gone up against someone with such speed and such a strong taijutsu style. She was just thankful he’d put away his swords as she’d seen him cut a boulder she’d thrown at him in half with no effort. Most of those she fought who could hit so strongly were rather slow and those who were fast didn’t have such strength. Yet his style of fighting seemed to give him both at high amounts and what was even worse was that he was making outclassing her seem easy. Seeing him seemingly distracted she took the chance and though angry at herself for doing so sunk into the ground to escape.

Sasuke groaned as he picked himself up off the ground. Looking around he found that he was still within the caverns only on a different level apparently. Thinking back he could remember being separated from his teammates as the portion of the cave they were in began to try to swallow them up. Unfortunately a hole had opened up in front of him while he was running and due to the darkness he hadn’t noticed until he was already falling. At this thought he looking up and was shocked finding there wasn’t a single hole in the ceiling nor was there an obvious source to tell him how he’d gotten into this particular place.
“So you’ve awakened.” Came a sultry yet hissing voice from the darkness surrounding him.
The voice immediately had his attention causing him to spring to his feet activating his Sharingan on instinct. As he spun around trying to locate the voice he cursed the darkness that seemed to be working to hinder his efforts of identifying the mysterious figure.
“You know you are quite the specimen with such a powerful chakra.” Came the hissing voice once again.
“Where are you? Show yourself!” demanded the young Uchiha.
“Ah I forgot those inferior human eyes of yours would render you unable to see here.”
Sasuke bristled at the words since as an Uchiha he held an inherent pride in the power of his doujutsu. The voice chuckled at his reaction before torches lit up illuminating the area. Seated in front of him, legs crossed upon a throne was a woman the likes of which he’d never beheld. As she was seated he couldn’t be sure but he believed at her full height she would be about 5’7, she had long spiky red hair which fell down to her hip. From the amount of skin he could see that she possessed a tan tone. She wore very little in the way of clothing her shirt being sleeveless and only possessing a single strap upon her right shoulder, doing nothing to hide the ample mounds of her breast. Other than that she merely wore a loincloth of a beige color to match her shirt, which only seemed to show off her long and toned legs. Atop her head was a golden crown shaped to look like four horns on the front of her head. At the midpoint between her shoulder and elbow of her left arm she wore a golden armlet with a golden bracelet on her right ankle. Her feet were bare and well-manicured while her hands actually appeared more claw-like in appearance.
“Who are you?” questioned the teen upon taking all of this in.
“I have many titles those known among your kind being ‘Queen of Serpents’ and ‘Yamata no Orochi. You however may call me Megumi’”
While the first title hadn’t meant much to him the second had the Uchiha’s eyes widen as he took a reflexive step back. Of all the creatures that had roamed the world the Yamata no Orochi was at the top of the infamous list right up there with the Bijuu. He could remember as a child hearing stories about the power of the beast who was said to have been the only one with power to rival that of the Kyubi.
“As for why you are here the reason is twofold. First and foremost I believe you and I can help each other. You desire strength and power enough to put you back upon the level of your rival and then to surpass that of your brother’s. My clan has need of a summoner since recently one of the smaller circles have gone rogue and must be reined in.” explained the woman.
“Why me?” questioned the young Uchiha in suspicion.
“In truth I was initially going for someone older and more powerful. However your teammate caught my attention because even as slight as it is I can feel the power of my own rival Ryoko, or as you know her Kyubi within him.”
“What are you talking about Kyubi is dead and has been for nearly fourteen years! In fact your supposed to be dead too for that matter!” exclaimed the Uchiha in shock.
“Foolish human, beings such as myself and the bijuu cannot be killed. We are raw energy given corporeal form. The most that even that foolish pervert Susanoo could do was cause my energy to dissipate for a few centuries. As far as what happened to Ryoko it seems she somehow managed to get herself sealed away into that boy on your team, though she has apparently since been freed. Besides we are members of Kami’s court and none has a wrath greater feared than she.” Said the woman much to the boy’s shock and fear.
“Now then back to why I brought you here and chose you to represent my clan. As I stated your chakra is powerful. However like me your current goal is to restore the honor of your clans name which was stolen through the actions of another.” Said the woman.
“How do you know so much about me?” questioned Sasuke.
“I have had members of my clan watching those of note for the last few months trying to ascertain who would become the summoner. You got my attention due to what certain factors were speaking of about you. However unlike them I care not for your Sharingan, but your strength of character. Admittedly I found this lacking as well at least in the beginning however you seem to at least be trying to redeem yourself. Unlike a certain foolish hatchling I know.” Said the woman though she muttered the last part in distaste.
“Fine then, let’s say I accept your offer. What exactly do I get out of it?” questioned the Uchiha.
“You will receive the privilege of being among the first to sign a celestial contract, a very powerful alliance to have and one I know for a fact your teammate a fact your teammate has. Along with this you will be gifted with techniques that you alone will be able to use. In affect you will receive the same privilege as every other summoner only with a more powerful contract than most anyone can boast.” Said the woman.
“Very well I accept. ” Said Sasuke his words causing the woman to smile revealing a rather sharp looking fang.

Inuzuka Kiba for the first time in his life was in awe. If one were to ask him what he’d thought just two short years ago about Hyuga Hinata he’d have answered that she was weak. When she had graduated as top kunoichi of their class it hadn’t meant much to him at all seeing as what the girls in his class were all like. Now however after having been placed on the same team as her he had noticed a steady change and her personality and growth in her ability. While still quiet she was far from the shy girl that would try hiding herself within her jacket and while not loud like he himself tended to be she now possessed a silent confidence in herself that had once been missing.
Likewise Aburame Shino had also noticed a change in the behavior of his female teammate. Unlike Kiba he had never pegged her as weak instead seeing that it was simply her kind nature that had prevented her from truly flourishing during their time in the academy. Now he could see that while that kindness was still there she now possessed the ability to push it to the side. She had displayed this ability numerous times on various missions but never in a manner such as she had just displayed. Down below he could see the team of genin that Hinata had just taken out with swift and brutal efficiency. He had known that she spent much longer training herself than he and Kiba did yet he had never imagined she possessed such an ability such as what he’d just witnessed. He’d known that the Hyuga clan focused on taijutsu only yet here Hinata had just displayed a technique that would effectively make her a long range threat.
Hinata herself was pleased immensely. She had been practicing hard ever since she had received Naruto’s gift and had finally reached what she believed to be an acceptable level. Her new ability to absorb and manipulate the ambient reiryoku in her surroundings had proven while initially difficult to be far easier than she had first suspected after she’d gotten a feel for it. Most of this she attributed to the amount of control she held over her chakra which in itself was a mix of spiritual and physical energy. With practice she had learned how to create a useable bow and arrows out of pure reiryoku, and with her growing ability she’d even begun to be able to actually see reishi (spiritual particles). Her increase in energy had also had an effect on her Byakugan allowing her to see further than ever and even see the tenketsu that resided within the body. What she’d just done however was using her arrows had managed to strike the tenketsu on each of those below her in effect delivering a ranged juken attack taking away each of their ability to move.
“Hinata what the hell was that!” exclaimed Kiba finally breaking the silence.
“It is just something I’ve been working on.” Said Hinata quietly and without her stutter.
“Well are there any more surprises you’d like to share.” Said Kiba though his grin told Hinata how excited he was.
“Well I will say it’s just one of a series of things I’ve been working on.” Said Hinata causing the Inuzuka boys grin to widen while hidden behind his shades Shino’s eyebrow raised in curiosity.

Uchiha Itachi looked out over the village beneath him with apathetic eyes. As the rain fell before him it appeared as if the Kami were crying over the village as the rain never seemed to stop. Such matters however were meaningless to him and as such his thoughts lay elsewhere. His quiet time ended however as he sensed the appearance of a figure behind him. Turning slowly he was greeted to the sight of a man who stood at about 5’7 and had medium length spikey orange hair. He was covered in piercings including a metal bar through each ear, three studs through the side of his upper nose, and one spike stud on each end of the bottom lip. He also had three piercings on each wrist, and at least one on his upper wrist as well and most importantly a pair of light purple eyes with a ripple-like pattern, these eyes being the legendary Rinnegan. Other than that he was clad in a black cloak with red clouds designed upon it. This man was Pein, the leader of the group of S-class nuke-nin known as Akatsuki.
“I have just received word from Zetsu concerning surviving Uchiha’s numbering over fifty. Would you care to explain this?” said the man.
“It is simple I don’t believe in unnecessary death, killing untrained children would have qualified as unnecessary. Unlike other members of this group I am not a monster who enjoys killing, or need I remind you I only joined as our goal is to bring about a lasting peace.” Said Itachi his eyes still showing apathy.
Pein knew this already for it was the exact reason he’d partnered him with his current partner. Unlike Itachi his partner Kisame seemed to revel in death something Pein blamed on his upbringing in the ‘Blood Mist’. As such Pein had taken the opportunity to put the two together knowing that Itachi would be able to reign in Kisame’s bloodlust, which would bring in much unneeded attention to the group. Though none would admit it the fact was that Itachi was thought of as the second strongest of all of the Akatsuki and many were unsure who exactly would win in a fight between the two of them.
“Whatever it is that your plotting in that brain of yours Itachi, know that it had best not go against our plans.” With that said the one called Pein vanished.
Itachi didn’t even blink instead merely returning his sights outwards, though his hand within his robe settled upon the handle of a sword.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked up as a presence made itself known to his senses one that he hadn’t felt in quite the long time. Looking up from his paperwork he was greeted to the sight of a man he hadn’t seen in well over a decade. He stood at 6’2 and had waist-length, spiky white hair tied back into a pony tail, with two shoulder-length bangs that framed both sides of his face. He also had red lines that ran down from his eyes and wore a horned forehead protector with the kanji for 'Oil', which the old man knew denotes his affiliation with Mount Myōboku, the home of the toad summons. He wore a green short shirt kimono and matching pants; under which he wore mesh armor that showed out of the sleeves and legs of his outfit. His outfit was completed with hand guards, a simple black belt, traditional geta, a red cloak with two simple yellow circles, and a toad summoning scroll on his back. He also had a tattoo on his left palm which resembles one that Gama has on his as well. This man was one of his original set of students and a legend in his own right by the name of Jiraiya.
“Jiraiya my boy, it has been far too long.” Said Hiruzen as he stood to his feet.
“Yea sorry about that sensei but as you know I’ve been kept incredibly busy lately.” Said Jiraiya rubbing the back of his head in a sheepish expression.
“Indeed, it seems the world is becoming more active lately.” Said Hiruzen.
“I’ve done a bit of digging unfortunately I’ve yet to come up with anything regarding this Mibu clan.” Said Jiraiya with a sigh after a few silent moments.
“Naruto is being tight lipped about them as well. All he is willing to share is that they are all people he grew up with.” Said Hiruzen.
“Has the council been informed of this?” questioned Jiraiya.
“No right now they are all content. They are willing to leave his past alone for the time being since he did us all a favor in killing Danzo.” Said Hiruzen causing Jiraiya to whistle.
“I’m still impressed the kid managed to get the drop on that jumpy bastard.” Said Jiraiya
“Is there any truth behind the rumors of him being in Tetsu no Kuni before?” questioned Hiruzen.
“Not yet, everything is still mere speculation. However I did learn more about this group that he was suspected of being part of. The original name we had turns out to be a mere nickname, other names for the group from what I’ve managed to uncover were Goyosei (The Five Shining Stars) and the Cursed Wave. While no one seems to know their real names they were mostly known as Gorre the Machinator, Macha the Temptress, Innis the Mirage of Deceit, Magus the Propagation, and Skeith the Terror of Death. Those are just the most well-known of the names they went by. If Naruto is part of this group he would be one of the last three as each were rumored to be the youngest.” Explained Jiraiya with a sigh.
“Well I’m willing to bet that Mibu Haku and Mibu Kimimaru were part of this group as well.” Said Hiruzen removing his pipe from his drawer and lightning it.
“Once again sensei this is still all speculation. I can’t be for sure as only grunts talk about them and half of them aren’t even sure they were actually real. I can’t get a definite answer without going after the top brass which is far too risky.” Said Jiraiya removing a pipe of his own from a seal and copying the action.
“I also went by Uzu.” Said Jiraiya catching his old sensei’s attention once more.
“The place is indeed active again and it’s sealed up tighter than a virgin’s butt hole.” Said Jiraiya causing Hiruzen to nearly snort.
“I see, but it’s too early to celebrate. We’ll need to learn the identity of its leader and what their plans are before counting them as allies once more.” Said Hiruzen thoughtfully.
“Perhaps we’ll know soon then. They sent a team to the exams.” Said Jiraiya causing Hiruzen to look at him in surprise.
“They’re at that type of efficiency already.” Said the old man in shock.
“I thought the same thing when I found out. But apparently the team was spotted by one of my people the other day.” Said Jiraiya.
“Jiraiya I’d like you to train Naruto for the third exam.” Said Hiruzen suddenly.
“Already?” questioned Jiraiya.
“I’d like to train him personally myself but I can’t teach him the technique Minato wanted him to learn.” Explained Hiruzen.

Uzumaki Kushina stared hard at the two figures before her, both of them covered from head to toe. She had summoned the two after receiving a report from the sensei of the team she’d sent out for the exams. Upon receiving notice that the team had made it pass the first exam she began making preparations for the journey to Tetsu no Kuni in case the team made it to the final round.
“I just received word that the team I sent has made it to the second round of the exams. Furthermore I’ve just been sent this by another source.”
So saying them she handed a scroll over to one of the two figures. The scroll was a list of names for the villages participating and of anyone of note that was sent. As the two finished reading it they looked up with active eyes getting a smirk from her.
“Prepare for a journey, we’re about to make the world see ghosts.” Said Kushina smirking mischievously.
As the two left and she was alone the woman sighed wishing not for the first time she didn’t have to play shadow games. She knew she had never been any good at this type of thing as she didn’t have the patience to sit around and wait for things or for subtle manipulations which was why she was perfect as an active duty kunoichi. More than that however she was tired of waiting to see her son and while he had written her lately she wanted nothing more than to hold him and not let go. She couldn’t wait until the day this all ended when she could run that masked bastard through with her sword for ruining her life.

Nii Yugito sighed once more in boredom as she sat within the café. It was now the second day of the second exam and she was finding herself increasingly bored. Such boredom however ended as a pair of individuals walked over and sat directly across from her within her booth. Eyes narrowed at the pair of Kiri nin she was about to speak up when she was beaten to the punch.
“You are Nii Yugito, correct?” asked Kimimaru in his usual dull tone.
“I am, what’s it to you.” Answered Yugito.
“We would like to extend an offer to both you and Yoruichi.”
Almost as soon as that was spoken Yugito grabbed her head in pain before looking up with one of her eyes now a golden color. While the other eye retained its original dark coloration there was a change in the way she carried herself as instead of tense she was now seemingly relaxed her arms spread out on her seat as she leaned back into it.
“So who are you two that you would know my name and that I was here.”
Even as she spoke her tone of voice was slightly different than before but not by much. Instead of answering verbally however the two merely raised their right hands as markings appeared upon them. The marking was one that she was intimately familiar with though Yugito wasn’t. What was upon their hands were glowing black and red markings in the shape of a skull.
“So you work for the boss, what can I do for you then?” questioned Yoruichi.
“It’s more like what we can do for each other. We would like to extend an offer to Yugito to join the Mibu clan, as an incentive we will set you free.” Said Haku calmly.
“Why would you do that, and what would you get from this?” questioned Yoruichi.
“We know the truth about the bijuu as you can guess. More importantly there is a force at work actively trying to revive the Jubi.” Said Kimimaru causing an immediate reaction.
“Impossible. That thing is gone for good, no coming back! Besides no one can control the Jubi its raw chaos given form.” Said Yoruichi.
“We know this but it is still a threat we need to take seriously. The force behind this commands a group of S-class ninja the majority of which have no clue what’s truly going on. While Yugito is strong these guys travel in two’s and thought she may beat one she’d be far too exhausted to overcome the second. She would have a better chance of survival with you free and in possession of your contract don’t you agree?” questioned Kimimaru.
“Ryoko, Kukaku, and Chomei have already been released and returned to Takamagahara to prepare.” Explained Haku.
“The kitten is begging for the answer so I’ll ask so she can here you say it. Why not just inform the Kage’s of this and let them take care of it?” questioned Yoruichi.
“A foolish choice. The Kage are all stuck in their ways and would only succeed in giving away the fact that we are aware of the threat while greatly underestimating the enemy. Instead we shall take the time until they act to train and hone our abilities.” Said Kimimaru.
“There’s more though isn’t there?” questioned Yoruichi with a raised eyebrow.
“Perhaps however we cannot answer that until Yugito and by proxy you join us. You will see what a few of us are capable of during the exams the former hosts of Ryoko, Kukaku and Akiresu are participants.” Said Kimimaru.
“Of course we will eventually reach out to the rest of the nine as well. However for right now take this time to allow her to think this over.” Said Haku before both stood to their feet and left with short bows.
‘Okay what the hell was that?’ questioned Yugito finding herself suddenly back in control of her body.
‘That kitten was something I had thought would never happen. The Kami have gotten involved in these affairs.’ Returned Yoruichi.

Though he’d lost track of time since being within the cave Naruto knew that he was now well into the second day of the exam. He had found Sakura easy enough earlier in the day though he could tell that she’d been through her own share of trouble especially as her hair was much shorter than when they’d entered. As it was it was only his sense’s that were leading him towards Sasuke as he’d locked onto his particular energy signal, a trick he’d picked up quite some time ago. At the same time the closer he got to Sasuke the more he was sure he was being watched, finally however out of the darkness Sasuke emerged though slightly different than when he’d last seen him. Naruto couldn’t tell why but for some reason the Uchiha had an increase in confidence and when he looked at him with a challenge in his eyes the blond honestly wasn’t sure if the boy had been possessed, at the same time he also took note of the new chokuto the boy carried.
“So now that we’re all together again can we please find a way out of here.” Said Sakura breaking the stare down between the two males.
“Sure follow me; I already know where we need to go.” Said Sasuke turning and walking back from where he’d come.
“So Naruto when did you plan on telling us about the Kyubi?” question Sasuke after a few silent minutes.
At this questioned Naruto immediately stopped an action neither missed which forced them to stop as well. Turning towards them both could see that the blondes entire demeanor had changed and he was now quite serious as if he was preparing for battle. His eyes were narrowed and cold causing Sakura to unconsciously shiver.
“What exactly are you talking about?”
Though poised as a question both suddenly knew that Naruto was looking for a specific answer and judging by his stance he was prepared for a confrontation if he didn’t like the answer he received. Sakura however was confused since she remembered quite clearly learning in the academy about the death of the Kyubi. Sasuke however shrugged as if the matter was simple suddenly reminding Sakura of their time in the academy when Sasuke was far more arrogant.
“The head of the serpent clans was sleeping here. When I came across her she told me about you and your connection to the Kyubi.” Explained Sasuke.
“Well no wonder you stink of snakes and they’ve been following us around. Still who’d have thought you’d actually live through the signing of a celestial contract.” Mused Naruto as he began walking again.
“Naruto what are you talking about?” questioned Sakura.
“Kyubi was sealed in me the day I was born. However after confirming that the attack wasn’t her fault I found a way to release her without doing harm to myself.” Explained Naruto with a shrug.
“But they told us…” started Sakura with wide confused eyes.
“Kyubi can’t die Sakura. As a being made out of chakra she would have reformed eventually anyway.” Said Sasuke.
“As for when I was going to inform you, probably the same time you told us about the evolved form of the Sharingan” said Naruto causing Sasuke to actually go wide eyed and nearly trip.
“How?” questioned Sasuke in surprise.
“Ryoko told me when she was explaining to me what had caused her to attack Konoha. It also helps that Itachi was once my assigned guard and would hide me in a place where I was able to learn of that level and how it is achieved.” Said Naruto the bombshell catching both his teammates by surprise.
“I don’t get it isn’t a second level something that should be known?” questioned Sakura.
“That’s a question for another time and another setting. We have a test to complete at the moment, and we’re almost there.”
As Naruto said this they emerged from out of the caves into a large forested region. Looking about they could see several samurai walking about one of which immediately walked up to them. Presenting the two scrolls he’d been holding the group was led into what appeared to be a tower which they guessed acted as a base. Inside they could see several more as well as one Yamanaka Ino who looked up almost as soon as they walked in before jumping up and greeting them.
“Well you made it forehead and it only took you a day and a half. Unfortunately for you it seems your team is the last of our group to make it here.” Said Ino
“Well how long have you been here Ino?” questioned Naruto.
“My team got here about ten minutes ago.” Answered the blond girl.
“So who all made it?” questioned Sasuke.
“Well like I said our group, plus that older Konoha team the one with Hinata’s cousin. There’s a team from Iwa, one from Suna, Kiri, Kumo, Taki, one from this new village called Oto and Uzu so far.” Explained Ino getting a nod from Sasuke.
“So where are Choji and Shikamaru?” questioned Sakura after a moment.
“Well after we got here Choji had one of these guys lead him to the eating area, Shika had one lead him to the rooms we’re using until the test is over. He’s most likely already sleep right now.” Said Ino with a frown.
“Right food sounds good.” Said Sasuke marching off in the direction Ino indicated with Naruto and Sakura following.
