The two met in a flash of chakra, kunai meeting in a flash of sparks. They then separated, flipping backwards to face each other, only to meet again. After a couple more moves the other five members of The Skulk Seven all relaxed and looked bored "Typical" Sasuke murmured, crossing his arms over his chest while Shikamaru slumped against the railing and his eyes went half-mast.
"They're not even trying" Choji moaned.
"Another bloody spar section" Sasuke said with a sigh. The sensei's all looked at the five Skulk members "how do you know they're just sparring? Didn't Naruto and Kiba agree to go all out before they started?"
"An all-out SPAR, it's normal between them with being both canine oriented."
"How can you tell they're not serious?"
"If they were Naruto would be using Soul Reaver and Kiba would Kenshi (Dogteeth)" Sasuke pointed out.
This they understood and for a while they just continued to watch, taking note of various moves and areas for possible improvement. Across the area, Termari watched with a clinical eye, her mind going a mile-a-minute about where she could go with the other ninja's training, where she could adjust his training and what areas he was better at, allowing her only to worry about REFINING them.
Gaara watched his older brother 'play' with his friend and adopted brother, monitoring his every move and every breath, his demon half also watching and enjoying the show. "He is strong" it said inside him with a grunt of amusement and humor "he is enjoying himself as well. He obviously has started training under sister, started but fights well."
Kankuro on the other hand watched in awe, gulping when he realized he could have had to face THAT if it wasn't for Gaara. He was suddenly glad his brother had been purified and they had decided to help the Leaf, he couldn't imagine those lethal moves not killing him almost immediately.
In his Kazekage disguise Orochimaru watched with the expression of vague attention, while he was actually watching keenly and with great interest. He had watched his future student with fascination, but to see the boy who had purified him so easily and one of his so-called Skulk let loose on each other was fascinating. However he could tell BOTH boys were not using nearly a quarter of their chakra, let alone actually fully 'releasing their potential', in fact they seemed to be playing, like a couple of puppies play-fighting in the grass.
He suddenly blinked, actually that analogy worked, they both WERE canine oriented.
He glanced at the Third from the corner of his eye. This was his Master, his sensei and the two had been exchanging information since the fights began using the code only an sensei and students would know. The only other who would understand this would be his teammates, and they weren't here.
He was fascinated by the idea of these children being some sort of guardian of the earth, each baring access to a certain element, the Uzumaki boy being the pivotal point of them all, controlling who had certain access and amounts of that energy, although Orochimaru had the distinct impression that this was a warning from his ex-teacher not to try and control the boys ability, because they could easily shut it down from their end.
The snake nin smiled to himself, he wouldn't trust himself either. There was no telling when the ninja with the patch realized the jutsu around him was gone and came to renew it. Sure he wasn't as...helpless now as he was then, he had all that knowledge from his evil years, but if this guy was the same as the one manipulating all these events in his beloved village, he would probably have a way to get to him again without his knowing, perhaps a spy or spies among Sound. If he started acting different in his 'village' they would report back.
He wished he had the boy's ability to read minds, it would make life so much easier. He could find those very spies and know how to act around them. Maybe he could...borrow him?
Orochimaru blinked, nope, scratch that thought, life wasn't meant to be easy, he'd learned that the hard way when his parents died.
Although he might later suggest it to Sasuke when he was among them. Perhaps when Naruto came for one of his fake trips to get his friend back they could find a way to maneuver him around the living quarters and scan his people.
Orochimaru had already found a way to keep an eye on his state. He had seen the rescue of the girl by Team Seven and the light of hero worship lighting her eyes as she looked on his future student. Learning she was an Uzumaki and could scan chakra systems so in depth had given him an idea.
So he had waited until she left the group and grounds, headed home alone and spoke to her, offering her a place in Sound as his personal guard. He promised her he'd teach her everything she wanted to know, train her to be a better fighter and that if she did, she would be able to be there when Sasuke joined. The two could be friends and get to know each other. Her parents were dead, the village had failed to protect them, to aid them, she had no obligation to them. He even promised to help her avenge them by finding their killers if she so desired.
The girl was shrew, asking immediately what was in it for him.
So he told her about the ninja in the eye patch who had made him evil with a jutsu that contaminated him, turning him against all he cared about, all that meant anything to him. A jutsu would affect his chakra, it HAD affected his chakra. If SHE was to join, if SHE was to become his bodyguard, not only would it mean no one else but her would know how his chakra worked well enough to recognize future contamination, but if she got close to Sasuke, no one would think twice about her going to his room at odd hours.
After all, part of being a ninja was seduction, and with her obvious crush (which she vehemently denied) it would make it even more believable.
She hesitated, uncertain.
So Orochimaru handed her a locket on a chain. She frowned "what's this?"
"There is a tree just outside your village, a dead tree, near a river. It has the symbol of my village carved into it, a musical note."
She nodded "I've seen it." He nodded to the necklace "that contains a small vial of my blood and chakra and will only open to you when in proximity to that tree. IF you decide to come to me, remove the vial and smash it against the symbol. It will activate the chakra inside the locket and transport you to a safe location nearby. Once the vial is removed it will alert me and I will send Kabuto, my most trusted ninja, to that spot to escort you back to me."
"What if I give the locket to another?" she frowned at him.
"It will instantly dissolve."
"What if another takes it from me under suspicion? I AM bringing home the dead bodies of BOTH my team mates while I am unharmed. How will I escape to you if it's destroyed?"
The snake nin had grinned "ah, that's the wonder of this locket" he held out his hand "rub your thumb along the back of the locket twice and make sure you concentrate a tiny amount of chakra on the tip of that very thumb. Then hand it back to me."
Frowning the girl did so.
About ten seconds after touching his palm the locket burst into flames and dissolved. The red head had frowned deeper at him "what does that prove? How does it possibly help..."
Orochimaru had held up a hand for silence and after about ten minutes he lowered it and grinned "check you left ninja pack."
With a frown she did, eyes widening when she pulled it out.
Stepping back Orochimaru started to disappear into the shadows "you have one week to decide. After that, from the minute I gave you the locket, an timing jutsu went into affect. If you do not use it within the week it will dissolve perminately. I await your choice." Then he was gone.
His attention was jerked back to the present as The Third made a noise "finally, they are getting more serious."
Orochimaru looked back with interest.
In the ring the two suddenly sprang apart, Kiba going on hands and his toes, Akamaru by his side. After a few in and out swipes at each other Kiba grinned "Shadow clone jutsu!"
An exact copy of Kiba appeared, But Naruto seemed to have no problem against both. plus the white dog.
When they broke apart once more Naruto grinned "Summoning Jutsu, Reitekina Hikari!" There was a large puff of smoke and when it cleared half the crowd gasped and Orochimaru's eyes widened slightly in surprise and awe. There, sitting by the boy's side was the most magnificent cat he had ever seen. It was much bigger than the boy himself, built in muscle and sinew and sleek multicolored fur of an orangeyellow,white and black. The feline was obviously a predator, made for hunting and killing large prey and looked like it could easily bring down a fully grown ninja with no problem. Orochimaru shuddered as something instinctual in his body reacted in recognition to the animal.
Those jaws, as the cat yawned in boredom, looked like it could easily fit around his head and crush it.
Naruto grinned and as they watched what could only be described as an 'free-for-all' began between the two versions of Kiba, Akamaru, Naruto and the huge cat. Orochimaru leaned slightly towards the Third and signed "what is that cat? I have never seen or heard of such a summons before."
"Naruto tells me it is called a Tiger and is one of a group of extremely rare summons found in Kain-sama's sanctuary. it is suspected that Kain-sama found those scrolls long before even knowing what they were and is the reason no one has ever found their like before. A few of Naruto's fellow Skulk Seven have already gained such new summons. This one, nick named Rei, is VERY protective of Naruto and has apparently adopted herself as a type of mother figure. It seems these cats are very social animals. They are also apex predators."
The disguised snake-nin could understand that.
Kiba suddenly caught their attention with a cry of "ManBeast Ultimate Jutsu...Fang over Fang!"
Naruto seemed to easily avoid this, moving aside and punching the blur of movement into a wall while the great cat just sat and battered the clone then dog into a wall. It gave a dog yelp. Naruto grinned and looked at the cat "should we show them, Rei?" The cat looked bored as it spoke "if you wish to, Naruto-cub."
Naruto put his hands into a familiar sign "Shadow clone jutsu!" When a clone popped up the cat lopped over to it's side. Naruto spoke to Kiba as he rose, struggling to his feet, his companion by his side "here's something we've been keeping to ourselves but working on for a while" the chakra of all three flared and Naruto cried "Beast Merge, cloneBeast combination!"
As everyone watched in awe the cat reared up onto it's hind legs and the clone crouched slightly, sliding sideways, his body going slightly transparent where the two met. After there was a brief flash of light everyone gaped at what they saw.
Standing in front of Kiba was a very tall man, wide shoulders and a powerful build. His hair was long and flowing down his back, blonde with orange highlights and black strips, he wore black leather pants and boots and a sleeveless leather armor-padded on the chest and legs. Leather armlets encased wrists. The figure held a beautifully intricate sword in one long-fingered clawed hand and red, orange yellow and black flowing silk scarves hung from various sections of the armor, giving the effect of flowing colored robes hiding black armor underneath.
The figure's eyes were red with cat-eye pupils and when he smiled widely he revealed fanged incisors more delicate but dangerous than the Inuzuka's. "Let's see who's best, neko or inu" he said in a sweet lilting voice which have every woman in the room sighing dreamily.
Kiba gaped, mouth opening, closing, opening, closing before he managed to say "how did you...?"
"I got the idea from neesan merging with me and have been experimenting with it and Rei. As you can see, we managed to perfect it."
"That is...SO COOL!" Kiba yelled, then hearing a cough, blushed "right" and got back into his fighting stance again "let's see how you fare against THIS," Kiba then the clone jumped onto the dogs back with a cry of "Inuzuka style! Man-Beast Team Transformation Combo! Three-Headed Wolf!"
There was a puff of smoke and when it cleared there was a huge three headed dog there, snarling in their place. While everyone was shocked at the raw power in front of them the figure just rolled his eyes "please, you expect ME to fear your little trick?"
"Try this then, Tail chasing, rotating fang!" The huge animal became a mass of fur and claws, however instead of being afraid or moving away the figure just stepped directly into it's path, one clawed hand out as if waiting for something. He spoke as it drew closer "typical inu, running straight in headlong without a minute thought instead of evaluating your enemy and their weak spots. If you learned to watch and learn how an enemy works, you could easily beat them. For instance, you have a blind spot."
Before anyone else could speak the figure's outstretched human flashed out and the next thing anyone knew was the beast was hanging from his clawed hand which was clamped around the neck of the middle head. The claws were dangerously close to the veins there and one nudge in the wrong direction and he could be bleeding out in seconds "you rely too much on brawn, Kiba Inuzuka. I thought the others had pounded that out of you by now. Or is this your mother's influence."
In the stands, Tsume Inuzuka growled angrily.
The dog choked and there was a puff of smoke as the jutsu cancelled, leaving the clone to dissipate and Akamaru to drop to the floor, Kiba's neck still clutched in his hand.
Choji frowned "I don't get it, how did Rei know which one was Kiba?" Shikamaru snorted "he sensed which one the chakra was coming from." Asuma added "that AND just before he transformed Kiba was on top of Akamaru, meaning he was in the middle, so the middle head."
Shikamaru either nodded or nodded off.
Akamaru growled and jumped to aid his master, only to have the figure casually knock it away. When Kiba's eyes narrowed in fury at this and he went to move the figure held up his other clawed hand which glowed faintly "you know what these claws are capable of more than any other, Kiba, do not be a fool."
The dog-boy looked frightened and choked out "I give!"
As Naruto was proclaimed the winner and the group cheered, Kunerai turned to Hinata before she could join her mate as the summon and clone dissipated (after the cat affectionately rubbed her head on his side, made a kind of chafting noise) "what DOES those claws do that scared your teammate so badly?"
"Well they have various effects depending on how much or how strong it is when she uses it. Too strong it kills instantly, about medium it can cause lasting agony for at least a week, but the one that scared Kiba is the weak one."
"And what does THAT do?"
"It makes him loose his inhibitions. He runs around nude singing nursery rhymes on the top of his voice" with that she moved down to join her mate, leaving the team leaders stunned and a little amused watching after them.
**************************************Chapter end******************************************************
Sorry this chapter is a little short guys and the battle was...anticlimactic, but I wanted to show just how outclassed Kiba is. I couldn't remember is the exams allowed for the use of summons or such, but since shadow clones are allowed and summons are really considered a weapon, I thought this would work.
I have also decided from now on for lack of a title for them and sick of constantly referring to the group as "his brothers and sister" I am calling the group The Skulk Seven, because minus Kyuubi and Razeil (who are considered part of Naruto) there IS seven and they are an Skulk-a fox family. Also if you didn't know when a tiger chafts at you it means it's pleased to see you, like an cat's affectionate noise.
Anyway I wanted to end the chapter here because the next chapter will be during the start of part three of the exams. I know a few of you are honestly looking forward to seeing the training between Naruto and the siblings, but there wouldn't be much to write about and Sasuke's training with Kakashi would go the same way except more concentration on the control of his energy. Any parts of interest might appear later on as flashbacks.
