Naruto Chapter 3 start:
Naruto, his paths, and Mizo made their way towards the gate of Konoha. Their blood pumping now, as they are finally returning to their village. They had their hats, mask, and headbands on. Their headbands were on their left arms.
They both looked ahead they could see the gate now, and their blood was now pumping harder than ever. They were finally home. They walked up to the gates, and walked straight past the guards. The guards looked at them.
"Hey stop." One of the guards said. The paths, Naruto, and Mizo stopped.
"Show me your papers." The guard said.
'Oh shit we forgot about the papers.' Mizo thought. Suddenly one of Naruto's paths pulled papers out of his cloak, and handed them to the guard. The guard looked at the papers, and nodded. He handed the papers back to the path.
"You may go. Good luck in the chunin exams." The guard said.
They kept walking until they reached a place where they could stop. Naruto and Mizo looked at each other.
"It feels good to be home doesn't it." Naruto said looking around. They had made their way to an alleyway, and they both sat down, taking in the feeling of being home again, and seeing all the people they cared about. They quickly got up, and got their feelings out of the way. They knew that if they were to stop this invasion, then they could not stand their and gawk, at them finally being home.
"I didn't know you could forge papers." Mizo said.
They walked out of the alley way.
"See I'm just that badass." Naruto said making Mizo laugh. The quickly asked directions, to see where they had to go to get to the chunin exams. They found out they had to go to the academy, so they may take the first test there.
'Great going back to the academy.' Naruto thought. Naruto looked at Mizo, even though he couldn't see her face, he knew she didn't feel that comfortable here. He put his hand on her shoulder, and she stopped.
"It's okay. No one knows, and I'm here with you, so you'll be fine. I'll take whatever bitch tries to attack you." Naruto said.
"Thanks Naruto." Mizo said smiling under her mask. She felt better when Naruto was there to protect her. Even though she knew that she could take care of herself, against almost any enemy, it was still nice to have him there.
As they walked to the academy, Naruto still knowing where it was, villagers looked at them. They had something to looked at. They saw seven huge figures in cloaks, and wearing straw hats, and mask. Also to make it worse there was one that had a big ass sword on his back.
Naruto then felt something, like a pull. He stopped as did everyone following him. He turned and looked towards his right. He looked down an alleyway, and saw the next street on the other side.
"What's wrong?" Mizo asked. Naruto began walking down the alleyway towards the other street. Mizo followed him, but his paths kept going towards the academy.
"I don't know." Naruto said. He and Mizo made their way through the alley way, and turned to see a fight about to break out. There was this one kid with a cat costume, and makeup on, holding this one kid by his collar. Naruto looked at the kid, and noticed he was smaller than the guy. About to step in he saw someone from a tree near by, throw a rock and hit the cat guy, in the head. The cat guy dropped the kid, who which ran to a pink haired girl in front him.
The cat guy looked up to the tree, and saw the boy. Naruto looked at the boy, and so did Mizo.
"Brother." Mizo said.
"What was that for?" The cat guy asked.
"People shouldn't pick on people, smaller than them." Sasuke said.
The cat guy smirked,"Come down here, so I can kick your ass."
"Kankuro stop before I kill you." Someone said in the tree. Kankuro and the blonde girl beside him looked up at the tree in fright. Saske turned to see a red haired boy behind him on the same branch.
'How did he get there, without me detecting him.' Sasuke thought.
"I'm sorry Gaara, I shouldn't have done that." Kankuro said.
Naruto looked at the Gaara boy,' He is the kid I feel a pull to'. Naruto then noticed the boys chakra,' He has demonic chakra like mine. He must be a jinchūriki.' Naruto thought. Naruto just began to walk away back down the alley, as he saw the people he was watching leaving.
Mizo stood at the edge of the alleyway, still looking at her brother,' I'm so sorry Sasuke.' She thought.
She turned saw Naruto walking back towards the other street, and ran to catch up with him. They both walked out of the alley way and towards the academy.
Naruto then laughed a little," What?" Mizo asked.
"Nothing, it is nothing." Naruto said.
With his paths
His Naraka path, which is the body of Kisame, stood in front of the two chunin in front of a door.
"I told you we are not moving." One of them said.
"I am telling you, just go ahead, and release your genjutsu, or I will take my sword off my back, and ram it so far up your ass, that your gay friend, over there will be horny." The path said pointing at the other genin. Both of the genin look frightened now and released the genjutsu on themselves, and the door, showing it to only be the second floor. The genin turned into two chunin.
"Thank you." The path said.
Back with Naruto
Naruto smiled all the way to the academy. When they walked in the door, they started heading up the stairs, to the third floor. When they got there they saw Sasuke once more. They stopped and let Sasuke, and his team talk to their sensei which had gravity defying hair, and a headband covering one eye. Naruto noticed that the pink haired girl from earlier was on his team.
'Konoha's Copy Cat Nin.' Naruto thought. Mizo looked at her brother and smiled. Atleast he was alright, but what about their mother.
Once Sasuke's team went inside, Naruto, and Mizo walked past the leaf jonin, and walked inside. Every single one of the jonin looked at them with confused glares.
"Nice welcoming party eh, Naruto." Mizo said. (Also if you haven't voted yet for a harem or no, then go to my profile and vote on my poll. Follow the instructions thank you.)
Naruto smiled. They walked through the door, to see all the genin about to take the test stare at them. They then all looked away, and went back to their own business. Naruto looked around, and saw his paths which had their own corner. Mizo smirked, because no one was around his paths, as though they were afraid of them.
Mizo and Naruto joined his paths in their corner, and waited. Mizo kept an eye on Sasuke, until she saw something.
"Naruto look it's the four-eyed bitch Orochimaru had with him." Mizo said pointing towards a white haired boy with glasses. Naruto turned and saw the four-eyed kid talking to Sasuke. Mizo was about to go over there, but her hand was grabbed by Naruto.
"Don't you'll blow our cover." Naruto said. Mizo stopped, she knew he was right, but she wanted to go beat that kid to death.
"Fine, but I swear, if we ever fight him, I get to beat that kid to death." Mizo said.
Naruto smiled, and turned to see the Chunin Exam Examiner.
"Hello everyone. My name is Morino Ibiki, and I will be your examiner, for the first examine. Everyone grab a sheet, and find a seat in the room behind me." Ibiki said. Everyone then grabbed a piece of paper, and went to the toom behind the man, where they were placed in random seating.
Naruto was placed in the top row, while his paths were placed on every row. He turned and looked at Mizo, who was on the row down from him. He then took off his straw hat, as did his paths. Everyone who was in the room, wanted to get a good look at their faces, but was disappointed when they saw their mask.
When everyone was in the room Ibiki began to talk," Now for the first exam you shall answer the nine questions on your sheet of paper. The tenth question will be adminstored by me. Each team has ten points, everytime you are caught cheating, your team loses two points. If you hit zero then you are out of the exams. This test will be forty-five minutes long. Begin."
Naruto was now confused at Ibiki's istructions. He looked down on his own paper, to see questions. He looked at the questions, and found out they were impossible to answer.
'What the ****, I can't answer these questions. The only way I could do this is to cheat. That's it. He wants us to cheat to see our information gathering skills, with out getting caught.' Naruto said. He then looked around, and saw Mizo was already writing down answers.
'She must be copying off of someone that knows them. There must be people they have set in the room, to have the answers on their sheet, for us to cheat off of.' Naruto thought. Naruto put his hand on his desk, and there was a small puff of smoke barely noticable. When he lifted up his hand there was a tiny little bird, with Rinnegan eyes. He then sent the summon to Mizo, to get the answers from her.
He looked at Mizo, who had just seen the summon. Mizo knew what he wanted and let the summon see her paper. Naruto being able to see through the eys of the summon, copied the answers on his sheet of paper. He then got the summon to come back. He ripped off a piece of paper from the test, and wrote on it. He then sent it with the summon back to Mizo.
Mizo got the message and looked at it,"How did you get the answers?" The note said. Mizo then wrote down her reply, and sent it back with the summon. Naruto got the note, and read it.
"I already knew the answers, didn't you?" Mizo said in the note. Naruto mad now sent, back a reply. Mizo read the note.
"Smartass." Naruto said in his reply.
Ibiki looked at the clock, and noticed time was up. A lot of teams had been sent home because they had been caught cheating, and there was a lot of teams left. Ibiki looked at the remaining genin.
"Now for your last question. If you get this answer wrong you will be put out of the exams." Ibiki said. Everyone gulped. They didn't want to leave the exams so early.
"Also you will never be able to come back, and do the chunin exams meaning, you will always be genin." Ibiki said. Everyone hearing this was shocked, even Naruto. Mizo knew the test, since she had Ibiki when she was a genin.
"Now if you decide to leave, then your whole team has to leave. Choose now." Ibiki said. Everyone looked at each other. Naruto then saw Sasuke, look at Sakura. You could tell she was feeling the pressure.
'I know Kiba wont be able to answer the last question.' She thought. She was about to raise her hand, until she saw a great stare from Sasuke. She then decided not to raise her hand to leave. Mizo smiled liking the fact her brother would stay in.
When this was done over half the genin had left. Ibiki looked at the smaller group he had in front of them," Well, everyone that is still here in this room passes."
Hearing this everyone was in a state of confusion except Mizo. Everyone was about to start asking questions, until suddenly a ball came flying through the window, of the classroom.
Everyone turned to see it was not a ball but a hot woman. Every guy looked at the new woman who was now in the room. She had purple hair, big breast, and a nice butt. Her curves were great, and she was very beautiful.
"My name is Anko I am your second examiner. Please make your way to Training ground forty-four. The next exam starts in one hour." Anko said. She then disappeared into smoke, and all the guys eye candy were gone.
"You heard her, get moving." Ibiki said. Naruto got back with his paths, and Mizo, and they headed towards the training ground. They new that the training grounds went in number order, so they just followed each number.
When they finally arrived at the training ground everyone was amazed at what they were looking at. In front of them was a huge forest, with a tall gate around it. Every genin went to where they saw the Anko women, and waited.
Mizo touched Naruto's shoulder, and whispered in his ear," Orochimaru's here, I can feel him." Naruto nodded saying that he heard her. They then waited for every one to arrive. When Anko saw that it has been an hour she looked at the genin.
"Alright you maggots, this is training ground forty-four. It is known as the Forest of Death, for obvious reasons. Each team will one of these scrolls" She held up a scroll with the kanji for earth, and one with the kanji for heaven."You will either get an earth scroll, or a heaven scroll. To finish this part of the exam you must have both scrolls at the end. Once you go into the forest you will try and get the other scroll, you do not have. Once you do, you will go to a tower, that is in the direct center of the forest. Once you have done that you have completed my part of the exam. Also I need you to sign these wavers, saying that I am not responsible for you if you die." Anko said. She then held up a waver. She had everyone get one, and sign it. Naruto just made up names for each of his paths.
Once everyone was done signing the wavers Anko looked at them," Now to get another scroll you will have to take it from another team. Once you have been given your scroll, you will then make your way to the gate number, we will assign you, and wait for the exam to start. Now everyone fall in line to get your scroll. "
Everyone got with their team, and got in the line. Each team would go into a tent, and come out with a scroll, and then go to their respective gates.
Naruto had a plan for an easy pass. He leaned over to Mizo,"Ok one of my path's teams will get a different scroll than us. What we will do it take their scroll, and then look for your brother. Orochimaru said he would be making his move, during this exam, so we have to stop him." Naruto said.
"What about the other path team?" Mizo asked.
"I have already thought about this. I have made a kage bushin of my Animal path, and put it in the path's team. I then sent the original Animal path back to Konoha, so when we get the scroll, one of my path's team, I will then summon all my paths back to the village. Then it will just be You, my path I'll pick to be on our team, and me left." Naruto said. Mizo thought over the plan, and thought it was a great plan.
"What will the paths do in the village, while they wait?" Mizo asked.
"I'll have them search for clues, about Orochimaru's invasion, and where he might be hiding." Naruto said. Mizo nodded. Then Naruto's Deva path seperated from the other paths, and got near Mizo, and Naruto. He was now on their team. Naruto and his team walked into the tent, and got their scroll.
"Here is a heaven scroll, and you will be at gate sixteen." The chunin said handing them their scroll. Naruto and his group, head out of the tent, and went to their gate. The other paths, which made up two teams got their scrolls, and then headed towards their gate.
"One of my paths' teams got an earth scroll. We will meet them quickly in the forest to get their scroll, and then my Animal path will summon them back to the village, to start looking." Naruto said. Mizo nodded, and turned towards the gate.
"I can't wait to murder that snake." Mizo said.
"If he shows up in there, can you lead us to him?" Naruto asked Mizo.
"Of course I can. I would know his chakra anywhere." Mizo said.
"If for some reason we need help I'll someone my paths back except for my animal path, so just in case it can summon them back to Konoha." Naruto said.
Suddenly there was a big boom, and the gate in front of them opened. It was time, for them to go and meet up with the path teams. Naruto, Mizo, and the Deva path quickly jumped into the gate, and began to head towards the teams. They heard screams of terror, and pain in the first five minutes of them being there, but they still headed towards their objective.
They soon met up with the path teams, and cariied out the plan, and now it was just Naruto, Mizo, and Naruto's Deva path left. Naruto put both of the scrolls in his pocket, and he looked at Mizo. He saw something that he had never seen before. There was a huge bug on her back.
"Mizo there is something on your back." Naruto said about to kill it. Before he could the bug, bit her on the neck, and knocked her out.
"Shit." Naruto said and he killed the bug and caught Mizo before she hit the ground. Her body began to turn blue, and she began to shake. Naruto picked her up in his arms, and began to run to find shelter.
'Don't die on me. If I bring you back, I wont have the strength to do much.' Naruto said. He found a cave, and went inside of it. He sat her down, and got a scroll out. He wiped blood on the scroll, and a ten, and bed came out. Naruto laid Mizo on the tent.
He walked about ten yards away, and put his hand on the ground," Shinra Tensei." He said. Suddenly a huge crater appeared in the earth.
He then began to run through hand seals," Water Release: Water wave." Naruto said. Suddenly water appeared out of thin air, and rushed into the crater, making a pond. Naruto took cloth out of his pocket, and dipped it in the ice cold water. He wringed it out and went over, and put it on Mizo's forehead.
She head stopped seizing, but was now barely breathing. He put his head on her chest, and heard her heart going into overdrive.
'The bug must have given her some poison. I have to get it out quickly.' Naruto thought. He flipped Mizo over on her back, and took off her cloak, so she was now in a tank top. He looked at the bite mark, which was now huge, and purple. He then took out a kunai, and cut the bite stuck his mouth on it, and began to suck her blood. When he got enough in his mouth, he would spit it out. Once he did this a few times he stopped. He looked down, and saw a purple substance flowing out of her body.
'That must be the posion." Naruto thought. He then bandaged the small cut, and turned her back over. He put his head back to her chest, and heard her heart going back to normal. She was going to be ok.
'It'll take her a few days to get back up and running. Hopefully Orochiamru doesn'y show up until then.' Naruto thought. He looked upon Mizo and frowned. He almost lost her. If it wasn't for being out in the world, and traveling, and learning a couple medical things, she would have been dead.
'I almost lost her. I can't lose her. She's my only friend.' Naruto thought.
Mizo sat there still sweating and knocked out cold. He got the Deva patht o go out and hunt for food. It took the path awhile, but it brought back a boar. The path then scraped the skin off, and cooked the meat. Naruto and the path eat, while Naruto just filled a cup he had carved from some wood with the water from the pond, and gave it to Mizo every so often. He would also change out the rag.
'This might set back our plans, but if worse comes to worse, I'll go and find Orchimaru, and leave the Deva path here to watch her.' Naruto thought. He knew Orochimaru's chakra enough, so that he could sense it if he tried.
"But a little help will work." Naruto said.
He ran through hand seals, and said," Rain Tiger at Will Technique." Naruto said. He put his hand to the ground, and a seal appeared. Suddenly it began to rain outside. The rain droplets were infused with Naruto's chakra, so everytime the rain hit a person in the forest Naruto could find the. When the rain came down it hit every animal, and every ninja in the forest. Naruto could practically see the forest in his mind.
He sat beside the bed which Mizo was on, and waited.
Three Days Later
Mizo had gotten better, but still had not gained counciouness. Naruto had been searching for Orochimaru's chakra for the past three days, but nothing had shown up. Naruto had found Sasuke, and his team as they were traveling through the forest, searching for a scroll. He knew that if he followed Sasuke he would find Orochimaru.
Since he found Sasuke he sent his Deva path to tail him just incase. So far nothing has happened.
With the Deva path
The path looked around and finally found Sasuke and his teammates. They had stopped on the bottom of the forest, and they were looking at Kiba.
"I have to take a wiss. Can I got take a piss Sakura?" Kiba said.
"Are you serious?" Sakura answerd. Kiba was jumping up and down right now because he needed to go to the bathroom.
"Fine, but before you go we need to make up a phrase, which only we can know. So if we ever get seperated, then we know if that person is who they say they are." Sasuke said.
"Fine, but hurry up I need to go." Kiba said.
"Ok how about this one. What are ninjas supposed to do? Look underneath the underneath." Sasuke said.
"Ok got it, I'm going to the bathroom." Kiba said running into the bushes. Sakura had a look of disgust on her face, but it was quickly gone. Suddenly there was a big gust of wind. Naruto used chakra to stick to the tree, while Sasuke, and Sakura were thrown to the ground. They each got up and rubbed their heads. Kiba came out of the bush rubbing his head too.
"Damn what was that?" Kiba said.
Sasuke looked at Kiba," What is the phrase?"
Kiba looked at Sasuke and smiled," What are ninjas supposed to do? Look underneath the underneath." Suddenly Sasuke threw a kunai at Kiba.
"What the hell Sasuke?" Kiba said.
"Your not the real Kiba. The real Kiba would never have remembered that." Sasuke said. Kiba then smiled and a long tongue came out of his mouth. Suddenly Kiba's body changed to that of a grass nin woman.
"Kukukuku you got me Sasuke." The woman said.
Back with Naruto
"Orochimaru is here." Naruto said.
Naruto looked down at Mizo, to see her still asleep. He couldn't leave her alone by herself, even if he put a genjutsu on the cave they were in.
'I have to summon my paths.' Naruto thought. He got a few feet away from Mizo, and smashes his hands towards the ground. Suddenly appearing out of smoke the paths that were summoned by the Animal path earlier were now there.
They quickly turned and ran out of the cave, to go help the other path. Naruto ended his rain jutsu that he had on the forest, so the sun came out.
With the Deva path
The path looked down upon, the grass ninja that just let down her genjutsu. It quickly jumped down from its perch in the tree, in between Orochimaru and Sasuke. Surprised faces looked at the Deva path that was now in front of Orochimaru.
"Go run I'll hold him off." The Deva path said. Sasuke not knowing who this person was grabbed Sakura, and jumped out of site. Orochimaru quickly let the skin that he stole from the grass ninja down to show his true pale face. Orochimaru tried to jump after Sasuke, but was stopped.
"Banshō Ten'in." The Deva path said. Suddenly Orochimaru was pulled by an invisible force towards the path. Orochimaru not having time to react, turned and saw himself getting closer to the path fast, and was punched in the face, and was suddenly sit flying backwards into a tree.
Orochimaru slowly got up, and looked at the masked path.
"Who are you?" Orochimaru asked.
"I am the one who you almost destroyed in your base." The path said. Suddenly Orochimaru's eyes widened in fear, because he knew the power of this man.
"I thought I killed you when I blew up that base." Orochimaru said.
"I guess not. You shall not make it out of here alive Orochimaru." The path said.
"That's what you think, Hidden Shadow Snake Hands." Orochimaru said. He held up his hands and snakes flew out of his sleeves at high speeds heading towards the Deva path.
"Shinra Tensei." The path said. The snakes were blown backwards as well as Orochimaru into the air. Suddenly Orochimaru turned into a poof of smoke.
"Down here." Orochimaru said. The path looked down to see Orochimaru's head stick out of the ground. Orochimaru quickly opened his mouth and a large sword shot out of hit heading for the paths body. The path couldn't move quickly enough and he was stabbed in the right shoulder. Since the sword kept on coming out of Orochimaru's mouth the path was sent flying into a tree, where he stopped, but the sword didn't. It went straight through his shoulder into the tree.
The sword hilt came out of Orochimaru's mouth. Orochimaru's body came out of the ground, and grabbed the hilt, and pushes on it making the sword go into the path. The path cringed in pain.
"Kukukukuku it seems like you are not as powerful as you think you are." Orochimaru said. The path looked up at the snake, and held his hand out.
"Shinra Tensei." The path said. Suddenly an invisible force sending Orochimaru backwards, and falling onto the ground, and the path took this time to take the sword out of him, and throw it to the ground.
Orochimaru got up quickly took look and see the path, but the path was nowhere to be seen. The path appeared behind Orochimaru. He punched Orochimaru in the back sending him flying into the air. Orochimaru yelped from the pain. The path then took out a chakra pole, with a sharp end on it. He held it out in front of him, and pointed it at Orochimaru.
"Banshō Ten'in." The path says. Suddenly the next thing Orochimaru knew was that he was being pulled back again, at high speeds. He looked at the path, and saw the pole. He knew what was about to happen. Orochimaru then hit the pole, and it stabbed straight through his body. The path held Orochimaru there.
"How does it feel to die?" The path asked Orochimaru.
"Tell me when it happens to you. Clone Great Explosion Technique." Orochimaru said. Suddenly Orochimaru blew up in a huge explosion. The path was sent flying back into many trees, knocking them down as he went through them.
Orochimaru appeared in a tree above where the path stopped breathing hard. That kick that sent him flying did a lot of damage on him, and he was getting tired fast. He then saw the path slowly get up from where he landed, and brush himself off. The path then looked up to where Orochimaru was in the tree.
Orochimaru ran through some hand seals and said," Temporary Paralysis Technique." Orochimaru said. For some reason the path could not move, and Orochimaru knew this. Orochimaru quickly jumped down from the tree, and quickly ran over to stab the path in the heart, with a kunai. Orochimaru swung the kunai at the path's heart, but it was quickly stopped when the path could move again. The path grabbed Orochimaru's wrist, and shoved his palm into Orochimaru's stomach.
"Shinra Tensei." The path said. Orochimaru was then sent back by an invisible force, but instead of flying alone the path kept hold of Orochimaru, and flew through the air with him. The path delivered punches after punches to the face of Orochimaru through their flight. Orochimaru gaining back his breathe, he turned the path around, and so the path was on the bottom.
Orochimaru punched the path in the face sending him flying straight towards the ground. Orochimaru landed on the ground safely, and smoke arose, from the impact of the path's body hitting the ground. When the smoke disappeared Orochimaru saw that the hit made an impact in the ground. He then saw the path's body.
"If I remember the doujutsu right, there are more of you. I can't defeat all of you. I can sure as hell defeat one of you." Orochimaru said.
The path in the crater slowly began to get up. When he got up he brushed himself off, and looked at Orochimaru. Orochimaru was in shock that the path actually got back up.
"You are becoming a real nuisance." The path said. The path was worn out and you could tell. It had maybe half of its energy left.
"How are you still able to get back up?" Orochimaru asked.
The path answered by starting to go through hand seals," Demonic Ice Crystal Mirrors." Suddenly ice mirrors formed around Orochimaru. They were all seperated by small cracks, but they were reflecting Orochimaru's image everywhere. Suddenly the Deva path appeared in all of them.
"It is your time to die." The path said. Suddenly the path through a kunai at Orochimaru. Since his image was reflected Orochimaru had no idea where the kunai was coming from, and was hit in the leg.
Flashback
Naruto was making his way towards the Land of Water. He had been traveling for days now, and needed a place to rest. He sent his paths out to search for a place to stay, and they quickly found lodging at a near by hotel. Naruto began to make his way there when he heard crying. He followed the crying until he found a little boy, on a bridge crying. He walked over to the little boy, and put his hand on his shoulder.
"What's wrong?" Naruto asked. The boy couldn't be much younger than him, but he thought he could still help. The boy looked up to see Naruto there, and frowned.
"I killed my family." The boy said.
"How could you do that? You are just a small boy?" Naruto asked. The boy then held out his hand and water droplets began to form above his hand. Suddenly they froze and created ice.
'He can use ice release." Naruto thought.
"My father killed my mother, then attacked me. I killed him, by creating ice just like I did just now." The boy said.
"I can do that to see." Naruto said. Naruto held out his hand and did the same thing the boy did. The boy looked in amazement. This other boy could do the samething he could.
"You can do it just like me." The boy said.
"Yes I can. I can do it quite well. I can stay here, and teach you for awhile, but I'll have to go." Naruto said. The boy smiled and hugged Naruto.
"What is your name?" Naruto asked.
"My name is Haku." The boy said.
Flash back End
Orochimaru pulled the kunai out of his leg, and waited for the path's next move. The path quickly jumped out of the one mirror he was in and punch Orochimaru in the face, sending him to the ground. The path then quickly jumped into another mirror.
Orochimaru slowly got up, and stood in his defensive stance.
'He some how moves faster while using this jutsu.' Orchimaru thought.
The path then jumped out of the mirror he was in and attacked Orchimaru. Orchimaru caught a glimpse of him, and ran bit his thumb. He then wiped it on a tattoo on his arm.
"I have you now, Summoning Jutsu." Orochimaru said.
There was a large poof of smoke. The path's mirrors were now just water on thr ground, and the Deva path was thrown far away into a rock, which he cracked when he hit.
Oroachimaru now stood on a huge snake easily as big as a tower in Amegakure. The path fell off the rock onto the ground, and hit the ground.
"Orochimaru, you better have sacrifices for me to have, since you have summoned me here." The giant snake said.
"I'll give you sacrifices, once you eat him." Orochimaru said pointing towards the Deva path which was now on the ground. The giant snake now looked at the Deva path, and it hissed.
The Deva path slowly got to its feet, and looked at Orochimaru on his giant snake. That shot took a lot out of him. He smashed his hand to the ground, and a pillar of smoke, just as big as Orochimaru's summons smoke, came into the air. When it disappeared, a giant six headed dog was in its place. Each of the eyes of the six headed dog had the Rinnegan, and they were all staring at Orochimaru.
The dog suddenly began to run towards the giant snake. The giant snake with Orochimaru on its head shot at the dog with great speed. The snake almost bit the dog, but when it was close enough the dog split into six different dogs, and they all dodged the attack. Each dog then used their own speed to bite down on the snake. The snake hissed in pain, and then disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Following suit the dogs disappeared also.
'This battle has probaly caused a lot of fuss. I have to end this quickly before the anbu, or even the hokage get here.' Orochimaru thought. Orochimaru landed on a tree branch near the Deva path and looked down on him.
"It has been really great seeing you, but I must leave." Orochimaru said. He was about to leave when suddenly he was surrounded by the other paths of pain. They had finally made it to the battle scene.
"You've got to be shitting me." Orochimaru said.
"Nope." The human path said as the path punched Orochimaru sending him flying through the air. While in mid air, the Asura path appeared above him, and kicked him downwards towards the ground. Orochimaru could no longer breathe since he was kick so hard in the gut. The Deva path tired fell down, and watched the battle going on in front of him.
Orochimaru hit the ground with such power, that it sent smoke flying everywhere. When the smoke disappeared there was a huge crater with Orochimaru in the middle of it.
'They are here, I must leave.' Orochimaru said. He then began to sink into the ground. The paths seeing this all jumped in the crater about to stop him, but it was too late, Orochimaru was gone.
The Deva path now able to move walked over to the crater.
With Naruto
'Shit he got away. I need to summon the Deva path here, so we can go onto the next round. The others can just be summoned back into the village to continue their search.' Naruto thought. At that time the Animal path summoned them back to Konoha, to continue searching. Naruto himself then summoned the Deva path back to him. With the little medical jutsu that he knew, Naruto healed most of his wounds, but the Deva path still had to rest.
Suddenly as he was doing his medical jutsu, red chakra began to cover the Deva path's body. The red chakra healed all of the Deva path's wounds, and when the red chakra receded the Deva path didn't even have a scratch on him.
'Must have been the fox.' Naruto thought. He then turned his attention back to Mizo. He changed her towel, and laid it down on her forehead.
'I wonder if the fox will do the same thing to Mizo, if I allow it to.' Naruto thought. He then turned Mizo over on her back, and began to do some medical jutsu. Suddenly like before red chakra began to envelope Mizo. It healed the wound on her back, and Naruto was now surprised.
Mizo then began to open her eyes," What happened?" Naruto looked at Mizo happily.
"You were bitten by a poisonous bug, it almost killed you, but I got the poison out quick enough before it could do any real time damage." Naruto said.
Mizo then remembered feeling a lot of pain in her back, and then blacking out.
"How long was I out?" She asked.
"Three days." Naruto said. She then remembered Orochimaru," What about Orochimaru has he come yet?" She asked.
Naruto then proceeded to tell her about everything that took place while she was bedridden. She had a look of disappointment on her face, because she wasn't able to fight the snake. She looked down at herself and noticed she was wearing her tank top, showing her cleavage. She got up quickly and grabbed her cloak. She then put it on, embarrassed about what she was wearing. She then began to head towards the cave's exit. Naruto got up.
"You shouldn't be moving right bow. You just got better. We will rest here for the night, and then we can go to the tower tomorrow." Naruto said.
Mizo knew he was right, and went and laid back on the bed, she looked over at Naruto, and frowned.
"Where will you sleep?" Mizo said.
"I can sleep on the ground it is no problem." Naruto said smiling.
Mizo not wanting him to sleep on the ground said," Why don't you come and sleep in the bed with me."
Realizing what she just said she blushed," I mean if you don't want to that's fine."
Naruto blushed also, but climbed in the bed, and faced away from Mizo," Thank you." He said.
"No problem." Mizo said. They both then went and headed off to sleep. Before Naruto went to sleep though he had his Deva path put a genjutsu on the cave, so no one could come in.
The Next Morning
Naruto slowly opened his eyes to see bright sunshine. He looked up, and saw something he didn't expect. He saw Mizo on top of him sleeping on his chest. He blushed and looked at the sunlight hit her face. She slowly began to move, and she finally moved and looked at Naruto in the face. She then looked and saw she was sleeping on him, and blushed. The quickly jumped out of the bed, and turned away from each blushing.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to." Naruto said. He turned towards Mizo who was now looking at him, and they both blushed again.
"It's fine, just don't do it again alright." She said. He smiled and scratched the back of his head.
"Of course no Mizo-chan." Naruto said.
'Mizo-chan, I like the sound of that.' Mizo thought, thinking of the way Naruto's muscles felt. Naruto looked out of the cave, and saw the sunlight.
He turned to Mizo and said," We have to go if we won't to get settled in at the tower. We only have a day left if I remember. I think that's what it said in the waver." Naruto said. They got over their embarrassed states, and packed everything up into storage scrolls.
His Deva Path released the genjutsu on the cave, and they headed out towards the tower. They reached the tower, in very little time, and entered it. They made their way through the corridors inside, and found the main office.
They went inside, and looked around. There was woman sitting at a desk, which looked up and saw them.
"Do you have both of the scrolls?" The woman asked. Naruto took out both of the scrolls, and showed the person at the desk.
"Well tomorrow you will meet, with the others who passed the test in the testing room, at five p.m. Here are your room keys to stay the night. Good luck in the next round." The woman said handing them each a key. She then took the scrolls from Naruto, and gave them a map, to tell them where everything is. She showed them where their rooms were located, and they were off on their way.
Naruto and the Deva path shared a room together, while Mizo being a girl got her own room, since she was the only one from her team. They decided they would meet up with each other in the cafeteria they had in the tower, in an hour.
Once they found each other they went to the cafeteria. Once they walked in the doors of the cafeteria, all eyes were on them. They looked around and saw a lot of the people they saw from before. They saw the team with the red head boy named Gaara, and then they saw Sasuke's team.
'Looks like my little brother made it.' Mizo thought. They each got their lunch and sat down at a table far away from everyone. Every time they would take a bite, they would lift up their mask, but then put them down, so no one could see their faces, even the Deva path eat. Once they were done eating they left the cafeteria just had they had entered it, quiet. Before they left the cafeteria, they felt a huge amount of killing intent.
They turned and saw the kid with the glasses," There's the bitch, seems like Orochimaru got him through." Mizo whispered to Naruto. They then left to go to their separate rooms. This was the first time in a long time, Naruto could get some sleep, without worrying about someone coming in the night, and killing him. He decided that he would go to sleep now, even though it was early in the afternoon, so he could be well rested for tomorrow.
He sat in his bed for awhile, and thought about the events that had occurred yesterday. He had lost Orochimaru, and now he had no idea where he was. This was bad, but he knew the snake's plans, so all he could do now is sit back and wait for Orochimaru to make his move.
Naruto Chapter 3 start:
Naruto, his paths, and Mizo made their way towards the gate of Konoha. Their blood pumping now, as they are finally returning to their village. They had their hats, mask, and headbands on. Their headbands were on their left arms.
They both looked ahead they could see the gate now, and their blood was now pumping harder than ever. They were finally home. They walked up to the gates, and walked straight past the guards. The guards looked at them.
"Hey stop." One of the guards said. The paths, Naruto, and Mizo stopped.
"Show me your papers." The guard said.
'Oh shit we forgot about the papers.' Mizo thought. Suddenly one of Naruto's paths pulled papers out of his cloak, and handed them to the guard. The guard looked at the papers, and nodded. He handed the papers back to the path.
"You may go. Good luck in the chunin exams." The guard said.
They kept walking until they reached a place where they could stop. Naruto and Mizo looked at each other.
"It feels good to be home doesn't it." Naruto said looking around. They had made their way to an alleyway, and they both sat down, taking in the feeling of being home again, and seeing all the people they cared about. They quickly got up, and got their feelings out of the way. They knew that if they were to stop this invasion, then they could not stand their and gawk, at them finally being home.
"I didn't know you could forge papers." Mizo said.
They walked out of the alley way.
"See I'm just that badass." Naruto said making Mizo laugh. The quickly asked directions, to see where they had to go to get to the chunin exams. They found out they had to go to the academy, so they may take the first test there.
'Great going back to the academy.' Naruto thought. Naruto looked at Mizo, even though he couldn't see her face, he knew she didn't feel that comfortable here. He put his hand on her shoulder, and she stopped.
"It's okay. No one knows, and I'm here with you, so you'll be fine. I'll take whatever bitch tries to attack you." Naruto said.
"Thanks Naruto." Mizo said smiling under her mask. She felt better when Naruto was there to protect her. Even though she knew that she could take care of herself, against almost any enemy, it was still nice to have him there.
As they walked to the academy, Naruto still knowing where it was, villagers looked at them. They had something to looked at. They saw seven huge figures in cloaks, and wearing straw hats, and mask. Also to make it worse there was one that had a big ass sword on his back.
Naruto then felt something, like a pull. He stopped as did everyone following him. He turned and looked towards his right. He looked down an alleyway, and saw the next street on the other side.
"What's wrong?" Mizo asked. Naruto began walking down the alleyway towards the other street. Mizo followed him, but his paths kept going towards the academy.
"I don't know." Naruto said. He and Mizo made their way through the alley way, and turned to see a fight about to break out. There was this one kid with a cat costume, and makeup on, holding this one kid by his collar. Naruto looked at the kid, and noticed he was smaller than the guy. About to step in he saw someone from a tree near by, throw a rock and hit the cat guy, in the head. The cat guy dropped the kid, who which ran to a pink haired girl in front him.
The cat guy looked up to the tree, and saw the boy. Naruto looked at the boy, and so did Mizo.
"Brother." Mizo said.
"What was that for?" The cat guy asked.
"People shouldn't pick on people, smaller than them." Sasuke said.
The cat guy smirked,"Come down here, so I can kick your ass."
"Kankuro stop before I kill you." Someone said in the tree. Kankuro and the blonde girl beside him looked up at the tree in fright. Saske turned to see a red haired boy behind him on the same branch.
'How did he get there, without me detecting him.' Sasuke thought.
"I'm sorry Gaara, I shouldn't have done that." Kankuro said.
Naruto looked at the Gaara boy,' He is the kid I feel a pull to'. Naruto then noticed the boys chakra,' He has demonic chakra like mine. He must be a jinchūriki.' Naruto thought. Naruto just began to walk away back down the alley, as he saw the people he was watching leaving.
Mizo stood at the edge of the alleyway, still looking at her brother,' I'm so sorry Sasuke.' She thought.
She turned saw Naruto walking back towards the other street, and ran to catch up with him. They both walked out of the alley way and towards the academy.
Naruto then laughed a little," What?" Mizo asked.
"Nothing, it is nothing." Naruto said.
With his paths
His Naraka path, which is the body of Kisame, stood in front of the two chunin in front of a door.
"I told you we are not moving." One of them said.
"I am telling you, just go ahead, and release your genjutsu, or I will take my sword off my back, and ram it so far up your ass, that your gay friend, over there will be horny." The path said pointing at the other genin. Both of the genin look frightened now and released the genjutsu on themselves, and the door, showing it to only be the second floor. The genin turned into two chunin.
"Thank you." The path said.
Back with Naruto
Naruto smiled all the way to the academy. When they walked in the door, they started heading up the stairs, to the third floor. When they got there they saw Sasuke once more. They stopped and let Sasuke, and his team talk to their sensei which had gravity defying hair, and a headband covering one eye. Naruto noticed that the pink haired girl from earlier was on his team.
'Konoha's Copy Cat Nin.' Naruto thought. Mizo looked at her brother and smiled. Atleast he was alright, but what about their mother.
Once Sasuke's team went inside, Naruto, and Mizo walked past the leaf jonin, and walked inside. Every single one of the jonin looked at them with confused glares.
"Nice welcoming party eh, Naruto." Mizo said. (Also if you haven't voted yet for a harem or no, then go to my profile and vote on my poll. Follow the instructions thank you.)
Naruto smiled. They walked through the door, to see all the genin about to take the test stare at them. They then all looked away, and went back to their own business. Naruto looked around, and saw his paths which had their own corner. Mizo smirked, because no one was around his paths, as though they were afraid of them.
Mizo and Naruto joined his paths in their corner, and waited. Mizo kept an eye on Sasuke, until she saw something.
"Naruto look it's the four-eyed bitch Orochimaru had with him." Mizo said pointing towards a white haired boy with glasses. Naruto turned and saw the four-eyed kid talking to Sasuke. Mizo was about to go over there, but her hand was grabbed by Naruto.
"Don't you'll blow our cover." Naruto said. Mizo stopped, she knew he was right, but she wanted to go beat that kid to death.
"Fine, but I swear, if we ever fight him, I get to beat that kid to death." Mizo said.
Naruto smiled, and turned to see the Chunin Exam Examiner.
"Hello everyone. My name is Morino Ibiki, and I will be your examiner, for the first examine. Everyone grab a sheet, and find a seat in the room behind me." Ibiki said. Everyone then grabbed a piece of paper, and went to the toom behind the man, where they were placed in random seating.
Naruto was placed in the top row, while his paths were placed on every row. He turned and looked at Mizo, who was on the row down from him. He then took off his straw hat, as did his paths. Everyone who was in the room, wanted to get a good look at their faces, but was disappointed when they saw their mask.
When everyone was in the room Ibiki began to talk," Now for the first exam you shall answer the nine questions on your sheet of paper. The tenth question will be adminstored by me. Each team has ten points, everytime you are caught cheating, your team loses two points. If you hit zero then you are out of the exams. This test will be forty-five minutes long. Begin."
Naruto was now confused at Ibiki's istructions. He looked down on his own paper, to see questions. He looked at the questions, and found out they were impossible to answer.
'What the ****, I can't answer these questions. The only way I could do this is to cheat. That's it. He wants us to cheat to see our information gathering skills, with out getting caught.' Naruto said. He then looked around, and saw Mizo was already writing down answers.
'She must be copying off of someone that knows them. There must be people they have set in the room, to have the answers on their sheet, for us to cheat off of.' Naruto thought. Naruto put his hand on his desk, and there was a small puff of smoke barely noticable. When he lifted up his hand there was a tiny little bird, with Rinnegan eyes. He then sent the summon to Mizo, to get the answers from her.
He looked at Mizo, who had just seen the summon. Mizo knew what he wanted and let the summon see her paper. Naruto being able to see through the eys of the summon, copied the answers on his sheet of paper. He then got the summon to come back. He ripped off a piece of paper from the test, and wrote on it. He then sent it with the summon back to Mizo.
Mizo got the message and looked at it,"How did you get the answers?" The note said. Mizo then wrote down her reply, and sent it back with the summon. Naruto got the note, and read it.
"I already knew the answers, didn't you?" Mizo said in the note. Naruto mad now sent, back a reply. Mizo read the note.
"Smartass." Naruto said in his reply.
Ibiki looked at the clock, and noticed time was up. A lot of teams had been sent home because they had been caught cheating, and there was a lot of teams left. Ibiki looked at the remaining genin.
"Now for your last question. If you get this answer wrong you will be put out of the exams." Ibiki said. Everyone gulped. They didn't want to leave the exams so early.
"Also you will never be able to come back, and do the chunin exams meaning, you will always be genin." Ibiki said. Everyone hearing this was shocked, even Naruto. Mizo knew the test, since she had Ibiki when she was a genin.
"Now if you decide to leave, then your whole team has to leave. Choose now." Ibiki said. Everyone looked at each other. Naruto then saw Sasuke, look at Sakura. You could tell she was feeling the pressure.
'I know Kiba wont be able to answer the last question.' She thought. She was about to raise her hand, until she saw a great stare from Sasuke. She then decided not to raise her hand to leave. Mizo smiled liking the fact her brother would stay in.
When this was done over half the genin had left. Ibiki looked at the smaller group he had in front of them," Well, everyone that is still here in this room passes."
Hearing this everyone was in a state of confusion except Mizo. Everyone was about to start asking questions, until suddenly a ball came flying through the window, of the classroom.
Everyone turned to see it was not a ball but a hot woman. Every guy looked at the new woman who was now in the room. She had purple hair, big breast, and a nice butt. Her curves were great, and she was very beautiful.
"My name is Anko I am your second examiner. Please make your way to Training ground forty-four. The next exam starts in one hour." Anko said. She then disappeared into smoke, and all the guys eye candy were gone.
"You heard her, get moving." Ibiki said. Naruto got back with his paths, and Mizo, and they headed towards the training ground. They new that the training grounds went in number order, so they just followed each number.
When they finally arrived at the training ground everyone was amazed at what they were looking at. In front of them was a huge forest, with a tall gate around it. Every genin went to where they saw the Anko women, and waited.
Mizo touched Naruto's shoulder, and whispered in his ear," Orochimaru's here, I can feel him." Naruto nodded saying that he heard her. They then waited for every one to arrive. When Anko saw that it has been an hour she looked at the genin.
"Alright you maggots, this is training ground forty-four. It is known as the Forest of Death, for obvious reasons. Each team will one of these scrolls" She held up a scroll with the kanji for earth, and one with the kanji for heaven."You will either get an earth scroll, or a heaven scroll. To finish this part of the exam you must have both scrolls at the end. Once you go into the forest you will try and get the other scroll, you do not have. Once you do, you will go to a tower, that is in the direct center of the forest. Once you have done that you have completed my part of the exam. Also I need you to sign these wavers, saying that I am not responsible for you if you die." Anko said. She then held up a waver. She had everyone get one, and sign it. Naruto just made up names for each of his paths.
Once everyone was done signing the wavers Anko looked at them," Now to get another scroll you will have to take it from another team. Once you have been given your scroll, you will then make your way to the gate number, we will assign you, and wait for the exam to start. Now everyone fall in line to get your scroll. "
Everyone got with their team, and got in the line. Each team would go into a tent, and come out with a scroll, and then go to their respective gates.
Naruto had a plan for an easy pass. He leaned over to Mizo,"Ok one of my path's teams will get a different scroll than us. What we will do it take their scroll, and then look for your brother. Orochimaru said he would be making his move, during this exam, so we have to stop him." Naruto said.
"What about the other path team?" Mizo asked.
"I have already thought about this. I have made a kage bushin of my Animal path, and put it in the path's team. I then sent the original Animal path back to Konoha, so when we get the scroll, one of my path's team, I will then summon all my paths back to the village. Then it will just be You, my path I'll pick to be on our team, and me left." Naruto said. Mizo thought over the plan, and thought it was a great plan.
"What will the paths do in the village, while they wait?" Mizo asked.
"I'll have them search for clues, about Orochimaru's invasion, and where he might be hiding." Naruto said. Mizo nodded. Then Naruto's Deva path seperated from the other paths, and got near Mizo, and Naruto. He was now on their team. Naruto and his team walked into the tent, and got their scroll.
"Here is a heaven scroll, and you will be at gate sixteen." The chunin said handing them their scroll. Naruto and his group, head out of the tent, and went to their gate. The other paths, which made up two teams got their scrolls, and then headed towards their gate.
"One of my paths' teams got an earth scroll. We will meet them quickly in the forest to get their scroll, and then my Animal path will summon them back to the village, to start looking." Naruto said. Mizo nodded, and turned towards the gate.
"I can't wait to murder that snake." Mizo said.
"If he shows up in there, can you lead us to him?" Naruto asked Mizo.
"Of course I can. I would know his chakra anywhere." Mizo said.
"If for some reason we need help I'll someone my paths back except for my animal path, so just in case it can summon them back to Konoha." Naruto said.
Suddenly there was a big boom, and the gate in front of them opened. It was time, for them to go and meet up with the path teams. Naruto, Mizo, and the Deva path quickly jumped into the gate, and began to head towards the teams. They heard screams of terror, and pain in the first five minutes of them being there, but they still headed towards their objective.
They soon met up with the path teams, and cariied out the plan, and now it was just Naruto, Mizo, and Naruto's Deva path left. Naruto put both of the scrolls in his pocket, and he looked at Mizo. He saw something that he had never seen before. There was a huge bug on her back.
"Mizo there is something on your back." Naruto said about to kill it. Before he could the bug, bit her on the neck, and knocked her out.
"Shit." Naruto said and he killed the bug and caught Mizo before she hit the ground. Her body began to turn blue, and she began to shake. Naruto picked her up in his arms, and began to run to find shelter.
'Don't die on me. If I bring you back, I wont have the strength to do much.' Naruto said. He found a cave, and went inside of it. He sat her down, and got a scroll out. He wiped blood on the scroll, and a ten, and bed came out. Naruto laid Mizo on the tent.
He walked about ten yards away, and put his hand on the ground," Shinra Tensei." He said. Suddenly a huge crater appeared in the earth.
He then began to run through hand seals," Water Release: Water wave." Naruto said. Suddenly water appeared out of thin air, and rushed into the crater, making a pond. Naruto took cloth out of his pocket, and dipped it in the ice cold water. He wringed it out and went over, and put it on Mizo's forehead.
She head stopped seizing, but was now barely breathing. He put his head on her chest, and heard her heart going into overdrive.
'The bug must have given her some poison. I have to get it out quickly.' Naruto thought. He flipped Mizo over on her back, and took off her cloak, so she was now in a tank top. He looked at the bite mark, which was now huge, and purple. He then took out a kunai, and cut the bite stuck his mouth on it, and began to suck her blood. When he got enough in his mouth, he would spit it out. Once he did this a few times he stopped. He looked down, and saw a purple substance flowing out of her body.
'That must be the posion." Naruto thought. He then bandaged the small cut, and turned her back over. He put his head back to her chest, and heard her heart going back to normal. She was going to be ok.
'It'll take her a few days to get back up and running. Hopefully Orochiamru doesn'y show up until then.' Naruto thought. He looked upon Mizo and frowned. He almost lost her. If it wasn't for being out in the world, and traveling, and learning a couple medical things, she would have been dead.
'I almost lost her. I can't lose her. She's my only friend.' Naruto thought.
Mizo sat there still sweating and knocked out cold. He got the Deva patht o go out and hunt for food. It took the path awhile, but it brought back a boar. The path then scraped the skin off, and cooked the meat. Naruto and the path eat, while Naruto just filled a cup he had carved from some wood with the water from the pond, and gave it to Mizo every so often. He would also change out the rag.
'This might set back our plans, but if worse comes to worse, I'll go and find Orchimaru, and leave the Deva path here to watch her.' Naruto thought. He knew Orochimaru's chakra enough, so that he could sense it if he tried.
"But a little help will work." Naruto said.
He ran through hand seals, and said," Rain Tiger at Will Technique." Naruto said. He put his hand to the ground, and a seal appeared. Suddenly it began to rain outside. The rain droplets were infused with Naruto's chakra, so everytime the rain hit a person in the forest Naruto could find the. When the rain came down it hit every animal, and every ninja in the forest. Naruto could practically see the forest in his mind.
He sat beside the bed which Mizo was on, and waited.
Three Days Later
Mizo had gotten better, but still had not gained counciouness. Naruto had been searching for Orochimaru's chakra for the past three days, but nothing had shown up. Naruto had found Sasuke, and his team as they were traveling through the forest, searching for a scroll. He knew that if he followed Sasuke he would find Orochimaru.
Since he found Sasuke he sent his Deva path to tail him just incase. So far nothing has happened.
With the Deva path
The path looked around and finally found Sasuke and his teammates. They had stopped on the bottom of the forest, and they were looking at Kiba.
"I have to take a wiss. Can I got take a piss Sakura?" Kiba said.
"Are you serious?" Sakura answerd. Kiba was jumping up and down right now because he needed to go to the bathroom.
"Fine, but before you go we need to make up a phrase, which only we can know. So if we ever get seperated, then we know if that person is who they say they are." Sasuke said.
"Fine, but hurry up I need to go." Kiba said.
"Ok how about this one. What are ninjas supposed to do? Look underneath the underneath." Sasuke said.
"Ok got it, I'm going to the bathroom." Kiba said running into the bushes. Sakura had a look of disgust on her face, but it was quickly gone. Suddenly there was a big gust of wind. Naruto used chakra to stick to the tree, while Sasuke, and Sakura were thrown to the ground. They each got up and rubbed their heads. Kiba came out of the bush rubbing his head too.
"Damn what was that?" Kiba said.
Sasuke looked at Kiba," What is the phrase?"
Kiba looked at Sasuke and smiled," What are ninjas supposed to do? Look underneath the underneath." Suddenly Sasuke threw a kunai at Kiba.
"What the hell Sasuke?" Kiba said.
"Your not the real Kiba. The real Kiba would never have remembered that." Sasuke said. Kiba then smiled and a long tongue came out of his mouth. Suddenly Kiba's body changed to that of a grass nin woman.
"Kukukuku you got me Sasuke." The woman said.
Back with Naruto
"Orochimaru is here." Naruto said.
Naruto looked down at Mizo, to see her still asleep. He couldn't leave her alone by herself, even if he put a genjutsu on the cave they were in.
'I have to summon my paths.' Naruto thought. He got a few feet away from Mizo, and smashes his hands towards the ground. Suddenly appearing out of smoke the paths that were summoned by the Animal path earlier were now there.
They quickly turned and ran out of the cave, to go help the other path. Naruto ended his rain jutsu that he had on the forest, so the sun came out.
With the Deva path
The path looked down upon, the grass ninja that just let down her genjutsu. It quickly jumped down from its perch in the tree, in between Orochimaru and Sasuke. Surprised faces looked at the Deva path that was now in front of Orochimaru.
"Go run I'll hold him off." The Deva path said. Sasuke not knowing who this person was grabbed Sakura, and jumped out of site. Orochimaru quickly let the skin that he stole from the grass ninja down to show his true pale face. Orochimaru tried to jump after Sasuke, but was stopped.
"Banshō Ten'in." The Deva path said. Suddenly Orochimaru was pulled by an invisible force towards the path. Orochimaru not having time to react, turned and saw himself getting closer to the path fast, and was punched in the face, and was suddenly sit flying backwards into a tree.
Orochimaru slowly got up, and looked at the masked path.
"Who are you?" Orochimaru asked.
"I am the one who you almost destroyed in your base." The path said. Suddenly Orochimaru's eyes widened in fear, because he knew the power of this man.
"I thought I killed you when I blew up that base." Orochimaru said.
"I guess not. You shall not make it out of here alive Orochimaru." The path said.
"That's what you think, Hidden Shadow Snake Hands." Orochimaru said. He held up his hands and snakes flew out of his sleeves at high speeds heading towards the Deva path.
"Shinra Tensei." The path said. The snakes were blown backwards as well as Orochimaru into the air. Suddenly Orochimaru turned into a poof of smoke.
"Down here." Orochimaru said. The path looked down to see Orochimaru's head stick out of the ground. Orochimaru quickly opened his mouth and a large sword shot out of hit heading for the paths body. The path couldn't move quickly enough and he was stabbed in the right shoulder. Since the sword kept on coming out of Orochimaru's mouth the path was sent flying into a tree, where he stopped, but the sword didn't. It went straight through his shoulder into the tree.
The sword hilt came out of Orochimaru's mouth. Orochimaru's body came out of the ground, and grabbed the hilt, and pushes on it making the sword go into the path. The path cringed in pain.
"Kukukukuku it seems like you are not as powerful as you think you are." Orochimaru said. The path looked up at the snake, and held his hand out.
"Shinra Tensei." The path said. Suddenly an invisible force sending Orochimaru backwards, and falling onto the ground, and the path took this time to take the sword out of him, and throw it to the ground.
Orochimaru got up quickly took look and see the path, but the path was nowhere to be seen. The path appeared behind Orochimaru. He punched Orochimaru in the back sending him flying into the air. Orochimaru yelped from the pain. The path then took out a chakra pole, with a sharp end on it. He held it out in front of him, and pointed it at Orochimaru.
"Banshō Ten'in." The path says. Suddenly the next thing Orochimaru knew was that he was being pulled back again, at high speeds. He looked at the path, and saw the pole. He knew what was about to happen. Orochimaru then hit the pole, and it stabbed straight through his body. The path held Orochimaru there.
"How does it feel to die?" The path asked Orochimaru.
"Tell me when it happens to you. Clone Great Explosion Technique." Orochimaru said. Suddenly Orochimaru blew up in a huge explosion. The path was sent flying back into many trees, knocking them down as he went through them.
Orochimaru appeared in a tree above where the path stopped breathing hard. That kick that sent him flying did a lot of damage on him, and he was getting tired fast. He then saw the path slowly get up from where he landed, and brush himself off. The path then looked up to where Orochimaru was in the tree.
Orochimaru ran through some hand seals and said," Temporary Paralysis Technique." Orochimaru said. For some reason the path could not move, and Orochimaru knew this. Orochimaru quickly jumped down from the tree, and quickly ran over to stab the path in the heart, with a kunai. Orochimaru swung the kunai at the path's heart, but it was quickly stopped when the path could move again. The path grabbed Orochimaru's wrist, and shoved his palm into Orochimaru's stomach.
"Shinra Tensei." The path said. Orochimaru was then sent back by an invisible force, but instead of flying alone the path kept hold of Orochimaru, and flew through the air with him. The path delivered punches after punches to the face of Orochimaru through their flight. Orochimaru gaining back his breathe, he turned the path around, and so the path was on the bottom.
Orochimaru punched the path in the face sending him flying straight towards the ground. Orochimaru landed on the ground safely, and smoke arose, from the impact of the path's body hitting the ground. When the smoke disappeared Orochimaru saw that the hit made an impact in the ground. He then saw the path's body.
"If I remember the doujutsu right, there are more of you. I can't defeat all of you. I can sure as hell defeat one of you." Orochimaru said.
The path in the crater slowly began to get up. When he got up he brushed himself off, and looked at Orochimaru. Orochimaru was in shock that the path actually got back up.
"You are becoming a real nuisance." The path said. The path was worn out and you could tell. It had maybe half of its energy left.
"How are you still able to get back up?" Orochimaru asked.
The path answered by starting to go through hand seals," Demonic Ice Crystal Mirrors." Suddenly ice mirrors formed around Orochimaru. They were all seperated by small cracks, but they were reflecting Orochimaru's image everywhere. Suddenly the Deva path appeared in all of them.
"It is your time to die." The path said. Suddenly the path through a kunai at Orochimaru. Since his image was reflected Orochimaru had no idea where the kunai was coming from, and was hit in the leg.
Flashback
Naruto was making his way towards the Land of Water. He had been traveling for days now, and needed a place to rest. He sent his paths out to search for a place to stay, and they quickly found lodging at a near by hotel. Naruto began to make his way there when he heard crying. He followed the crying until he found a little boy, on a bridge crying. He walked over to the little boy, and put his hand on his shoulder.
"What's wrong?" Naruto asked. The boy couldn't be much younger than him, but he thought he could still help. The boy looked up to see Naruto there, and frowned.
"I killed my family." The boy said.
"How could you do that? You are just a small boy?" Naruto asked. The boy then held out his hand and water droplets began to form above his hand. Suddenly they froze and created ice.
'He can use ice release." Naruto thought.
"My father killed my mother, then attacked me. I killed him, by creating ice just like I did just now." The boy said.
"I can do that to see." Naruto said. Naruto held out his hand and did the same thing the boy did. The boy looked in amazement. This other boy could do the samething he could.
"You can do it just like me." The boy said.
"Yes I can. I can do it quite well. I can stay here, and teach you for awhile, but I'll have to go." Naruto said. The boy smiled and hugged Naruto.
"What is your name?" Naruto asked.
"My name is Haku." The boy said.
Flash back End
Orochimaru pulled the kunai out of his leg, and waited for the path's next move. The path quickly jumped out of the one mirror he was in and punch Orochimaru in the face, sending him to the ground. The path then quickly jumped into another mirror.
Orochimaru slowly got up, and stood in his defensive stance.
'He some how moves faster while using this jutsu.' Orchimaru thought.
The path then jumped out of the mirror he was in and attacked Orchimaru. Orchimaru caught a glimpse of him, and ran bit his thumb. He then wiped it on a tattoo on his arm.
"I have you now, Summoning Jutsu." Orochimaru said.
There was a large poof of smoke. The path's mirrors were now just water on thr ground, and the Deva path was thrown far away into a rock, which he cracked when he hit.
Oroachimaru now stood on a huge snake easily as big as a tower in Amegakure. The path fell off the rock onto the ground, and hit the ground.
"Orochimaru, you better have sacrifices for me to have, since you have summoned me here." The giant snake said.
"I'll give you sacrifices, once you eat him." Orochimaru said pointing towards the Deva path which was now on the ground. The giant snake now looked at the Deva path, and it hissed.
The Deva path slowly got to its feet, and looked at Orochimaru on his giant snake. That shot took a lot out of him. He smashed his hand to the ground, and a pillar of smoke, just as big as Orochimaru's summons smoke, came into the air. When it disappeared, a giant six headed dog was in its place. Each of the eyes of the six headed dog had the Rinnegan, and they were all staring at Orochimaru.
The dog suddenly began to run towards the giant snake. The giant snake with Orochimaru on its head shot at the dog with great speed. The snake almost bit the dog, but when it was close enough the dog split into six different dogs, and they all dodged the attack. Each dog then used their own speed to bite down on the snake. The snake hissed in pain, and then disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Following suit the dogs disappeared also.
'This battle has probaly caused a lot of fuss. I have to end this quickly before the anbu, or even the hokage get here.' Orochimaru thought. Orochimaru landed on a tree branch near the Deva path and looked down on him.
"It has been really great seeing you, but I must leave." Orochimaru said. He was about to leave when suddenly he was surrounded by the other paths of pain. They had finally made it to the battle scene.
"You've got to be shitting me." Orochimaru said.
"Nope." The human path said as the path punched Orochimaru sending him flying through the air. While in mid air, the Asura path appeared above him, and kicked him downwards towards the ground. Orochimaru could no longer breathe since he was kick so hard in the gut. The Deva path tired fell down, and watched the battle going on in front of him.
Orochimaru hit the ground with such power, that it sent smoke flying everywhere. When the smoke disappeared there was a huge crater with Orochimaru in the middle of it.
'They are here, I must leave.' Orochimaru said. He then began to sink into the ground. The paths seeing this all jumped in the crater about to stop him, but it was too late, Orochimaru was gone.
The Deva path now able to move walked over to the crater.
With Naruto
'Shit he got away. I need to summon the Deva path here, so we can go onto the next round. The others can just be summoned back into the village to continue their search.' Naruto thought. At that time the Animal path summoned them back to Konoha, to continue searching. Naruto himself then summoned the Deva path back to him. With the little medical jutsu that he knew, Naruto healed most of his wounds, but the Deva path still had to rest.
Suddenly as he was doing his medical jutsu, red chakra began to cover the Deva path's body. The red chakra healed all of the Deva path's wounds, and when the red chakra receded the Deva path didn't even have a scratch on him.
'Must have been the fox.' Naruto thought. He then turned his attention back to Mizo. He changed her towel, and laid it down on her forehead.
'I wonder if the fox will do the same thing to Mizo, if I allow it to.' Naruto thought. He then turned Mizo over on her back, and began to do some medical jutsu. Suddenly like before red chakra began to envelope Mizo. It healed the wound on her back, and Naruto was now surprised.
Mizo then began to open her eyes," What happened?" Naruto looked at Mizo happily.
"You were bitten by a poisonous bug, it almost killed you, but I got the poison out quick enough before it could do any real time damage." Naruto said.
Mizo then remembered feeling a lot of pain in her back, and then blacking out.
"How long was I out?" She asked.
"Three days." Naruto said. She then remembered Orochimaru," What about Orochimaru has he come yet?" She asked.
Naruto then proceeded to tell her about everything that took place while she was bedridden. She had a look of disappointment on her face, because she wasn't able to fight the snake. She looked down at herself and noticed she was wearing her tank top, showing her cleavage. She got up quickly and grabbed her cloak. She then put it on, embarrassed about what she was wearing. She then began to head towards the cave's exit. Naruto got up.
"You shouldn't be moving right bow. You just got better. We will rest here for the night, and then we can go to the tower tomorrow." Naruto said.
Mizo knew he was right, and went and laid back on the bed, she looked over at Naruto, and frowned.
"Where will you sleep?" Mizo said.
"I can sleep on the ground it is no problem." Naruto said smiling.
Mizo not wanting him to sleep on the ground said," Why don't you come and sleep in the bed with me."
Realizing what she just said she blushed," I mean if you don't want to that's fine."
Naruto blushed also, but climbed in the bed, and faced away from Mizo," Thank you." He said.
"No problem." Mizo said. They both then went and headed off to sleep. Before Naruto went to sleep though he had his Deva path put a genjutsu on the cave, so no one could come in.
The Next Morning
Naruto slowly opened his eyes to see bright sunshine. He looked up, and saw something he didn't expect. He saw Mizo on top of him sleeping on his chest. He blushed and looked at the sunlight hit her face. She slowly began to move, and she finally moved and looked at Naruto in the face. She then looked and saw she was sleeping on him, and blushed. The quickly jumped out of the bed, and turned away from each blushing.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to." Naruto said. He turned towards Mizo who was now looking at him, and they both blushed again.
"It's fine, just don't do it again alright." She said. He smiled and scratched the back of his head.
"Of course no Mizo-chan." Naruto said.
'Mizo-chan, I like the sound of that.' Mizo thought, thinking of the way Naruto's muscles felt. Naruto looked out of the cave, and saw the sunlight.
He turned to Mizo and said," We have to go if we won't to get settled in at the tower. We only have a day left if I remember. I think that's what it said in the waver." Naruto said. They got over their embarrassed states, and packed everything up into storage scrolls.
His Deva Path released the genjutsu on the cave, and they headed out towards the tower. They reached the tower, in very little time, and entered it. They made their way through the corridors inside, and found the main office.
They went inside, and looked around. There was woman sitting at a desk, which looked up and saw them.
"Do you have both of the scrolls?" The woman asked. Naruto took out both of the scrolls, and showed the person at the desk.
"Well tomorrow you will meet, with the others who passed the test in the testing room, at five p.m. Here are your room keys to stay the night. Good luck in the next round." The woman said handing them each a key. She then took the scrolls from Naruto, and gave them a map, to tell them where everything is. She showed them where their rooms were located, and they were off on their way.
Naruto and the Deva path shared a room together, while Mizo being a girl got her own room, since she was the only one from her team. They decided they would meet up with each other in the cafeteria they had in the tower, in an hour.
Once they found each other they went to the cafeteria. Once they walked in the doors of the cafeteria, all eyes were on them. They looked around and saw a lot of the people they saw from before. They saw the team with the red head boy named Gaara, and then they saw Sasuke's team.
'Looks like my little brother made it.' Mizo thought. They each got their lunch and sat down at a table far away from everyone. Every time they would take a bite, they would lift up their mask, but then put them down, so no one could see their faces, even the Deva path eat. Once they were done eating they left the cafeteria just had they had entered it, quiet. Before they left the cafeteria, they felt a huge amount of killing intent.
They turned and saw the kid with the glasses," There's the bitch, seems like Orochimaru got him through." Mizo whispered to Naruto. They then left to go to their separate rooms. This was the first time in a long time, Naruto could get some sleep, without worrying about someone coming in the night, and killing him. He decided that he would go to sleep now, even though it was early in the afternoon, so he could be well rested for tomorrow.
He sat in his bed for awhile, and thought about the events that had occurred yesterday. He had lost Orochimaru, and now he had no idea where he was. This was bad, but he knew the snake's plans, so all he could do now is sit back and wait for Orochimaru to make his move.
