Rise of a Senju Ch 7

Currently Naruto and Anko were just lazing around eating some dango in the tower in the middle of the forest of death. They had eaten enough dango that they were able to make a smiley face on the wall with the sticks.

"So do we just wait here for five days? Is that it?" Naruto asked her.

Anko didn't really respond to him, and threw another stick at the wall starting another picture. There really wasn't that much to do right now; they pretty much had to stay in the Forest. Well at least one of them had to, and there was no way they'd let the other leave. They couldn't even interfere with the exam in any way.

"Well we could watch the teams kill each other maybe?"

"And how would we do that exactly?" Naruto asked her with an eyebrow raised.

"I may have set up a few cameras before the exam started, just to not get bored. Besides I want to see some blood. Considering you're the only other person here, would like to volunteer your blood for me." Anko said, using the puppy eye no jutsu. Normally that would probably work on any living being, but having that look on the face of a crazy sadist just was not right.

Naruto backed away waving his hands in front of himself. "We can watch the little genin if that's what you want."

Anko giggled gleefully, which in itself was very creepy, and pulled him towards the control room in the tower. Inside the room, there was a massive monitor that was pretty much the size of the entire wall. As soon as she sat Naruto down on the couch that was in there, Anko ran over to the screen and turned it on. She grabbed the remote and settled herself down next to Naruto. When she was all settled and comfortable, she turned on the cameras, and was prepared to enjoy the show.

(In the forest)

The Sand team had just met up with a team from Kusagakure. One of the Kusa genin, obviously the leader walked up to Gaara and gave his proposal. "Why don't we team up and kill everyone else here, that way there will be far less competition later on. If you don't agree. Well we'll just have to kill you."

Gaara just stared his cold eyes into the Kusa genin. He then whispered, "Mother wants your blood." Just then sand shot up from the ground and covered all three of the Kusa genin.

(Tower with Anko)

Anko clutched onto Naruto's left arm and exclaimed. "Ooooooh do you think he's gonna kill them. I hope he kills them. There will be such glorious blood…."

Naruto just tuned her out and kept watching the screen. Anko was seriously messed up when it came to blood. Thank Kami she wasn't bored or else she would cut him up.

(Forest)

One of the Kusa genin was able to escape via Kawarimi while the other two were trapped in the sand. The sand imploded, and squashed the two little genin. The last genin alive just stared in fear. A tendril of sand the wrapped around his foot. The sand lifted him up and slammed him into a nearby tree. On impact he lost his breath. He tried to gasp for air, but then the sand rammed itself down his throat filling up his lungs. He couldn't breathe at all; it was getting to be unbearable.

Gaara was just moving his hand with a small grin on his face. Each time he even twitched his fingers, the small genin convulsed. Finally after a few minutes, the genin stopped moving completely. Gaara then made his hand into a fist and then pushed it open. The sand that was inside the boy's lungs and stomach burst out, sending chunks of flesh and blood flying into the air.

(Anko and Naruto)

Both of them just stared at the screen in shock. That may have been a little bit too far; even Anko wouldn't do something that bad would she?

Anko herself looked a little disgusted. It seemed as if the sadist had a limit. This genin was just like the man she hated. He did not care for life at all.

They both decided that they had seen enough for the day, and so they left the room. Since there really wasn't much else to do, they just sparred for the rest of the day, and the next day as well. Heck they sparred for pretty much the entire time they were there.

(Fourth day)

Team seven had just gotten the other scroll that they needed, and were going to find a small space for refuge. They had teamed up with the other teams four teams from Konoha. Really there were only four teams left of the five. Kabuto's team was all killed on the first day by some team from Taki. All of the Konoha's teams: team eight, nine, and ten got their scrolls on the third day. That was when they had all found each other and started to work together. During their time in the forest, they always felt like they were being watched by someone, or something. In fact every team in the exams felt like they were being watched. It was not a good feeling to have at all.

Takashi, Kiba, Shikamaru, and Chouji were all talking among themselves, while Sasuke was conversing with Shino. The Aburame kid was actually very smart, and was like him in some ways. He knew when it was a good time to be silent. Unlike Kiba, Shino was able to refrain from speaking every single minute. Currently he and Shino were talking about the exams, until Shino threw a Kunai into the bushes.

Almost instantaneously everyone in their makeshift camp sprang into action. Shikamaru, Ino, Sakura, Hinata, and Tenten made a back defensive line pulling out kunai and shuriken. Hinata had also activated her Byakugan. While the girls and Shikamaru formed up behind them, Shino, Sasuke, Kiba, Chouji, Takashi, Neji, and Kabuto formed a circle around them. They were the hard hitters, while the girls and Shikamaru were more support people.

They all threw a kunai at the bushes where they heard a noise. Neji saw a distinct chakra source right behind the bush and shouted out to the person hiding there. "Come out now, we know you're there."

"Kukuku. Well done Hyuuga-san. Of course it is expected of you to find me so quickly." The woman who stepped out of the bushes said. She stared over at Sasuke and licked her lips. "Now then why don't you play with a friend of mine while I play with little Sasuke-kun over here." The woman then summoned a large pitch black snake that then charged them.

Everyone had to scatter away from the snake to avoid being eaten. However this was what the crazy woman wanted, she charged Sasuke and punched him in the face.

"Come now Sasuke-kun is this the best the Uchiha clan has to offer me? I'm very disappointed." Once she said this, her smirk that was on her face was wiped out when Sasuke kicked her in the stomach. Sasuke didn't stop there though. He kicked her legs out from underneath her and then punched her chin upwards sending her flying into the opposite tree.

The creepy kunoichi wiped her mouth and spat out a glob of blood. "Interesting Sasuke-kun, you don't even have your Sharingan activated yet and you can still do this. Let's up the speed a bit then."

At the beginning of the fight, Sasuke was doing just fine; he could follow this kunoichi's movements. But now all he saw were blurs. He was seriously being punched around like a pinball machine. Even when he activated his one comma Sharingan, it wasn't enough. Sure he could see her movements, but he wasn't fast enough to dodge or counter. So instead of using just Taijutsu, he resorted to Ninjutsu.

Sasuke quickly finished some seals, "Katon: Hibashiri" he shouted and a jet of fire sped towards the kunoichi who had also finished her hand seals. He wasn't that surprised, when he noticed the kunoichi was about to use a suiton jutsu. The kunoichi shot out a constant jet of water from her mouth, canceling out his own fire.

The kunoichi then canceled her jutsu and charged Sasuke, her neck expanding as she went. Sasuke was frozen on the spot after looking into the Kunoichi's eyes. There was no way she could be human. The kunoichi was about to give Sasuke a very special kind of hickey when all of a sudden she was punched in face from the side. Because she already had the momentum, her face slammed into a tree.

Seeing the kunoichi miss him, Sasuke looked to the side, and saw his friend Naruto. "Naruto what are you doing here, you aren't supposed to interfere are you?"

Naruto without taking his eyes off of the kunoichi told Sasuke. "There is no specific rule that says we cannot interfere. It is mainly just a suggestion. However when someone not taking the exam interferes and tries to attack a shinobi, it is our job to intervene. Many years before you or even myself were born. Kumo used the chuunin exams to try and steal the Byakugan." The kunoichi was just getting back off the ground. "Sasuke just go with your team and camp at the tower since you have both scrolls. There is a barrier around the outside that only lets those with both scrolls enter, and there will be no fighting at all. Just go quickly." Sasuke nodded and ran off before the kunoichi got up completely.

Naruto's attention locked onto the kunoichi and said. "Get out of my forest you snake bastard." He actually growled out the last part.

The kunoichi laughed and said. "I don't know what you're talking about proctor-san. I am merely taking the test."

"Cut the crap Orochimaru. I know it's you." Naruto said as he pulled out a kunai.

The kunoichi now known as Orochimaru frowned. "Hm now that you've found out my secret I'll have to kill you. You also let my prey escape me. For that you will die slowly." Orochimaru lunged forward and punched him in the face. Before the punch could connect, Naruto grabbed his fist and flipped Orochimaru over his head.

Orochimaru quickly went through some seals and shouted: "Katon: Hiendan" Three balls of fire sped at Naruto who was going through his own hand seals.

"Suiton: Suikoundan," A large shark made of water shot at the fireballs and quickly ate them. The shark decreased in size immensely but continued on its way towards Orochimaru.

Orochimaru jumped to the side dodging the shark's teeth that were just about to rip through his flesh. The shark however changed its direction and once again shot towards Orochimaru.

"Doton: Doroku Gaeshi" Orochimaru created a large wall of Earth right in front of him that took the water sharks attack. He was just about to release the jutsu when Naruto jumped over the wall and slammed his Bo staff right through his back spine. The part of his Bo staff that was inside Orochimaru; spikes protruded out from it and stabbed the Sannin in multiple places. Naruto summoned four more Bo staffs from the ground. He rammed the first two through Orochimaru's hands, and the other two through his feet.

Orochimaru tried to move, but found that he couldn't. He wasn't even able to access his chakra anymore. "What," He began, spitting out blood, "Did you do to me?"

Naruto just looked down at Orochimaru and pulled out a kunai. He used the kunai to slice through Orochimaru's shirt and ripped it off. Orochimaru's eyes widened. "No! What are you doing? I only like little boys!"

"Shut-up you pedophile. I'm not going to rape you. I'm not a sick fucker like you." Naruto summoned another Bo staff, made the end into a large spike and rammed it through Orochimaru's shoulder blades.

Orochimaru roared out in pain. After the pain subsided enough for him to speak, he asked again. "What have you done to me?"

Naruto rummaged through his weapons pouch and finally answered. "Inscribed on each of those Bo staffs stabbed into you are chakra suppression seals. You currently have six cutting off your chakra." Naruto finally found what he was looking for. A large thin roll of paper. He unrolled the paper and started to put it along Orochimaru's back. His entire back was then covered in paper. With a small hand seal, all of the ink transcribed from the paper onto Orochimaru's back. Now his back was completely covered in black ink.

When the ink left the scroll, Naruto removed the paper from his back and put it back into his weapons pouch. His finger then started glowing with chakra, and he put it over Orochimaru's forehead. He touched his forehead and proceeded in drawing a seal. The seal burned into Orochimaru's flesh and left a large mark.

Naruto then stood back up and leaned against a tree. Orochimaru was just screaming at him to remove the seals. "You have ten thousand small exploding seals inside your body, and only I can remove them. Now why don't you just sit back and wait for Anko and a team of Anbu to come and take you to the Hokage."

Within a couple of minutes, Anko and a team of four Anbu came on to the scene. Anko kicked Orochimaru in the face, and then helped the Anbu carry him away towards the I&T department. Orochimaru couldn't do anything at all, so he tried to rile up Anko. His curses and disappointed sounding voice finally made Anko crack, and she promptly struck him in the back. The seals that covered Orochimaru's back all lit up and started activating.

The seal on his forehead also active and swallowed up Orochimaru in a black abyss. Anko and the Anbu jumped back and watched as Orochimaru was gone completely. Anko spun around towards Naruto and demanded. "What happened." Not once did they notice a small white snake slithering away into the trees.

Naruto kept looking at the spot where Orochimaru was. "It would seem Orochimaru was able to access some of his chakra when you hit him. Because of the seals I put on him, they started to explode. The only reason nobody was hurt from the blast is because of the second seal I engraved on his forehead. That seal was a variation on the Ura Shishou. I shortened the effects of the seal to just around the area of Orochimaru's body. And instead of sealing everything into Orochimaru's body I sealed it into the last thing Orochimaru touched. This being a small little leaf. Orochimaru is now dead, and no force on earth should be able to bring him back to life." The Anbu leader walked up to him and told him to come with him. Apparently he had to give his report to the hokage. Since he had to talk with the hokage; that meant Anko had to stay alone in the tower and wait until the exam was over to actually do stuff.

(Hokage's office)

The Anbu leader that brought him in was standing in the far back corner of the office, and vanished in the shadows. In the Hokage's office, Tsunade, and Jiraiya were already speaking with Sarutobi. When Tsunade saw him enter, she pulled him into a bone-crushing hug. Fortunately she released him just as he ran out of air. When he tried to explain himself to her, she just punched him in the face. Now she held back a lot considering he didn't fly through the wall.

Sarutobi ordered him to tell him exactly what happened, and how he even managed to kill him. Naruto then explained how he subdued Orochimaru. The only reason he won was because Orochimaru was holding back. He couldn't risk using too much of his power lest he gained the attention of the anbu or the hokage. So when he got hit with his Bo staff, since it had chakra suppression seals on it, it messed up with his control, preventing him from using any jutsu.

Sarutobi sat back and smoked his pipe. "Very well. I will give you the bounty for his head since we have eye witnesses of his death. You may go back to the exams tomorrow when you've had a good rest." Naruto nodded and started walking towards the door.

Before he got five feet to the door, Tsunade grabbed his collar and dragged him over to the Senju compound. Shizune was already making some dinner in the kitchen. She was going to say hi to them, but saw the look on Tsunade's face and just stayed in the kitchen. Tsunade sat Naruto on the couch and started chewing him out. "Do you know how dangerous that was, you could have died! Orochimaru is one of the Sannin; you should have run from him…." She kept this rant on about how he was stupid and all of that for another ten minutes.

"I didn't die though, he did. So what's your problem?" Naruto asked her.

Tsunade just glared at him. "Just don't do anything incredibly stupid again ok." She hugged him and then went into the kitchen to help Shizune.

(Forest of Death: Tower)

Due to the fact that too many teams passed through the forest, they were holding a preliminary round. The instructor for this part of the exam didn't look like he cared at all, and just told everyone but Sasuke and some Akado Yoroi to wait on the balcony above the arena.

As everyone was leaving the arena, Kakashi appeared and told Sasuke to do his best. The fight began, and Sasuke was being forced on the defensive for a little while. Sasuke noticed each time he was hit, he lost a little bit of his chakra. He activated his Sharingan, and then the fight turned a little one-sided in Sasuke's favor.

Apparently even when Sasuke hit Yoroi, his chakra was absorbed by Yoroi. Sasuke finished up the fight, by using the Omete Renge. He had copied this from Lee when they sparred just before going into the first part of the exam.

Shino Aburame vs. Zaku Abume.

"Humph, I wanted to fight the Uchiha. I'd be a legend if I beat him," Zaku mumbled as he walked down the steps into the arena.

Shino like always was silent as he walked down to the arena floor.

The fight, if you could even classify it as such was over very quickly, with Shino as the victor. Shino had noticed a few large holes in Zaku's arm guards, and sent his bugs to plug the holes. Zaku was able to use his Zanhuka, but Shino dodged it by going underground.

When Zaku tried to fire off another Zanhuka, both of his arms exploded. His screams of agony were terrifying, and when he passed out, they knew it had to be extremely painful.

As soon as the match was called, the medical ninja came and retrieved Zaku and sent him to the hospital. Takashi looked back at Kakashi and asked him what happened to Zaku. Kakashi then explained to him that because those holes were plugged up, Zaku's jutsu had nowhere to go, so it backfired on Zaku and exploded.

Sabaku No Kankuro vs. Tsurugi Mitsumi

This fight like shino's was very quick. Although it was a loss for Konoha. Mitsumi had charged Kankuro and was about to kick him in the stomach. Before he got the hit, Kankuro's body opened up and swallowed up Mitsumi. It turned out Kankuro was actually nothing but a puppet, while the real Kankuro was on the puppets back wrapped in cloth.

Several kunai appeared and drove through holes in the puppet, impaling Mitsumi many times. He was dead before he even touched the ground. There was no real reason for the medics to be there, except to take away the body.

Higirashi Tenten vs. Sabaku No Temari

Like the battle with Kankuro, this fight was rather unfortunate for the leaf. The fight was extremely one-sided. Tenten just got an unlucky opponent. A wind user versus a weapons mistress that was just disaster for Tenten.

Everything she threw at Temari, was just blown right back at her by a wind jutsu. The blond girl didn't even show off, all she did was unravel her battle fan and swing it. It had three moons, and when the third moon was shown, she would lose.

Tenten paid no attention to the girl, there was no way she would lose and just did a dance with two giant storage scrolls, launching many weapons at Temari. Even with all of the weapons, none of them were able to hit the sand-nin. It was a fruitless effort, as all of her weapons were once again flung back at her.

Tenten had gotten cut with her own weapons, and because of it she nearly passed out. Temari was then just about to slam her fan into Tenten's stomach when Lee appeared and grabbed her up. "That was a very unyouthful thing you were just about to do. To kick an opponent when she is clearly unable to fight back. I will run twenty laps for this unyouthfullness to make up for your nonexistent youth!"

Another god awful green spandex wearing weirdo appeared down in the stadium. "Yosh I will run with you Lee and if I cannot, I will climb the hokage monument with only my thumbs!"

"Yes Gai-sensei!"

"LEE!"

"GAI-SENSEI!"

"LEE!"

"GAI-SENSEI!"

The two hideous bowl-cut shinobi began to hug each other, then a sunset with a beach complete with crashing waves appearing behind them. Normally this scene would melt people's hearts, with a sunset setting in the sky in brilliant shades of red, orange, and a tad bit of blue.; but with the beauty was destroyed with the two hugging and screaming each other's names.

The people in the stands shrieked in terror as they felt theirs eyes start to burn out of their sockets.

Kurenai Yuhi, Konoha's genjutsu mistress tried to dispel the obvious genjutsu. She made the release seal, and even tried to overpower the genjutsu. She put 3/4ths of her chakra into trying to dispel it, but it would not work. "Why won't this dispel? It can't be real!"

It was so bad that some of the weaker genin committed seppuku to rid themselves of this monstrosity. Luckily the two hugging clones separated before any of the other genin died of unnatural causes. The next fight started immediately so that everyone could forget about the two odd hugging people.

Haruno Sakura vs. Yamanaka Ino

So far this had to be the worst fight anyone had ever seen. The girls only used the things they were taught in the academy with a few thrown kunai and shuriken. And then they kept talking about who was going to marry Sasuke; it was very annoying.

Ino had come out on top though, due to the use of her family's jutsu. She managed to trap Sakura with Shintension and forced Sakura to forfeit before Sakura could attempt to break free.

Ino's sensei, Sarutobi Asuma looked over at Kakashi and said. "Have you taught her anything yet?" Granted he hadn't taught Ino that much, but have her start learning her family techniques.

Kakashi sighed. He knew that Sakura, as it is, isn't ready to be a kunoichi. "I had taught her tree and water walking, but she just doesn't have enough chakra, and she's always trying to get Sasuke's attention. She just doesn't seem like she wants to learn."

Nara Shikamaru vs. Tsuchi Kin

"Why do I have to fight a girl," Shikamaru grumbled as he went down into the arena. "This is such a drag."

Kin then jumped down from the balcony into the arena. "You think because I'm a girl, this fight will be easy!" Kin yelled angrily. Even from still being in the balcony, she still heard what Shikamaru had said.

Shikamaru just played on the defense, dodging Senbon that the girl was throwing. Heck he even got her to tell him how her technique worked. Who in their right mind would tell an enemy the secret to their techniques.

Kin had, from the beginning, thrown regular Senbon at Shikamaru. Later on, she threw more, but with bells attached to them. Through the bells, she casted a genjutsu on Shikamaru, making him see doubles.

Of course Shikamaru, being the genius that he was, use his shadow possession to trap her. Then, Shikamaru said he'd kill her if she didn't forfeit. Of course this was a bluff, he wasn't going to kill her, but kin didn't want to take that chance and forfeited.

Inuzuka Kiba vs. Higaru Takashi

"Hell Yeah!" Kiba yelled, "Lets win this Akamaru!" The two then jumped down to the arena and were walking to the proctor.

Takashi slowly walked down, infuriating Kiba since he really wanted to fight. Takashi didn't exactly care to fight, even though he was proficient in fight, he didn't exactly like to.

"Come on Takashi," Kiba growled, "Let's get this fight started!" Kiba was really getting impatient, as was Akamaru who was barking inside of Kiba's hood.

"Just hold on Kiba, I don't even want to fight, but if Shikamaru did, I guess I have to." Takashi then stepped into his Taijutsu stance and nodded towards the proctor.

Kiba charged him, and punched his face. Naruto moved his head and struck Kiba's side with three fingers. He then hit the back of Kiba's spine with a chop of his hand. Akamaru had then jumped up to bite him, but he just pinched the dog's leg.

Kiba started coughing up blood, and found he couldn't move his legs. "What did you do to me?" Kiba said between spitting out blood. He knew this was going to be a hard fight, but he didn't know it would be over so fast. Since Takashi came from a lesser known clan, he didn't know what to expect from him. Since he was an Inuzuka, it was fairly obvious what he was going to do. Besides taking him out, Takashi had also disabled Akamaru by doing something to one of his hind legs.

Takashi looked down at Kiba and put a kunai up to his neck. "I'm not telling you my skills Kiba, to do so would give you an advantage in the future, and would give any of these genin from other village's information on me. I would rather remain unknown at the moment."

Kiba knowing he had nothing else he could do; resigned himself to his fate and forfeited.

Sabaku No Gaara vs. Rock Lee

"Yosh!" Lee shouted, pumping his fist in the air. "It is finally my turn!" When the proctor started the match, Lee disappeared in a burst of speed, and used the Konoha Seppuu.

However the kick didn't connect as sand had shot out of the gourd strapped to Gaara's back and blocked it. Lee jumped away once the sand tried to grab ahold of him. He launched himself back at Gaara again, and tried to get past his defenses.

Naruto, who was standing next to Hiruzen along with Jiraiya whispered in his ear. "This boy is also a Jinchuriki."

Jiraiya then said, "He contains the Ichibi. To think Suna would send an unstable Jinchuriki. That could be seen as an act of war."

Sarutobi listened, but dismissed their words of caution. There really wasn't anything to fear, Konoha survived the Kyuubi, they could survive the Ichibi, especially if it was trapped in a human body. Besides Suna and Konoha were allies. As they were talking, Lee had just gotten flung by the sand into a wall.

Lee started running around Gaara, creating a dust cloud around the sand genin. Lee then shot at Gaara faster than any of the other genin could see. Because of his speed, Lee was able to punch Gaara straight in the face, and then run away before the sand could hit him as well. Lee then went back into the dust cloud and continued running. Fast as lightning, to some of the genin, Lee gave Gaara a rising kick in the chin.

Gaara however only went slightly off the ground because of it, but lee kept hitting him higher into the air with each punch and kick. Ass soon as they reached the appropriate height in the air, Lee wrapped bandages around Gaara and rotated them as they started to fall to the ground.

"Omote Renge!" Lee pushed off of Gaara allowed him to reduce the damage inflicted on himself while Gaara taking the full hit. When the dust cleared, it showed Gaara with multiple cracks all along his body. The cracks all across his body fell to the ground showing that it was a type of armor. The little flakes that fell on the ground turned to sand. The sand the crawled over Gaara's body and reformed.

A huge wave of sand covering the entire arena came and tried to swallow up Lee. The sand wrapped all around Lee, and was compressing his body.

However before he could be completely crushed Lee shouted. "Kaimon: Kai" The sand around his body was pushed away as a huge amount of chakra was released, and his skin turned red.

"Kyumon: Kai!" The amount of chakra being released was at least doubled. All of the wounds he had received began to heal with each passing second.

Kakashi faced his friend and asked, "How many of the gates can he open?" It was quite impressive for a genin to even unleash the first gate since it was an extremely dangerous Kinjutsu.

"Five," Gai said the pride evident in his voice.

"Seimon: Kai!" The chakra Lee was releasing was now tripled and his skin was turning a dark crimson red.

"Shomon: Kai!" Lee's body was now extremely red, and it seemed like his veins were actually out of his body. Only Hinata and Neji were able to see that the veins were really chakra coils because of their Byakugan.

Lee burst off the ground in an explosion of dust. The ground he stood on was now a large crater. Gaara didn't have enough time to so much as breath as Lee punched him in the face. Gaara was sent flying back and Lee appeared behind him in a burst of speed and used another kick to launch him in the air. He then sent Gaara smashing into the ground with a heel drop. Lee was just so fast, that it looked like Gaara was simply flying around the arena from being hit so much.

Lee then did a spin off of his initial attack, the"Ura Renge!" Lee was able to push off before they hit and land on the ground. Unfortunately because of opening the gates, he couldn't move his body at all, and just hoped the match was over.

Gaara if anything was not harmed, more annoyed if nothing else. Lifting up his hand, a tendril of shot towards intent on killing the person who made him feel pain for the first time in his life.

Before the sand reached Lee, a dome of water surrounded him, protecting him from the sand. Gaara however had his sand go through the water, but once it touched the water, he was unable to control it. Gaara relentlessly tried to kill Lee, but found he could not do so. Naruto appeared next to the proctor and whispered in his ear. The proctor then called the match in gaara's favor since Lee was unable to move.

When Gaara left the floor, Gai appeared next to Naruto. "Thank you Naruto-san. If you hadn't interfered im afraid Lee may have…"

"It's fine Gai-san," Naruto said while he released the water dome. "Lee worked very hard to get where he's at. I would be very sad if his career ended here in a pointless match."

The medics took Lee away, who was now unconscious, and were going to approach Gaara. They saw that he had no noticeable injuries so they left him alone. The KI helped send them away as well.

Temari walked slowly up to her brother who had now reached the balcony. She was going to touch his shoulder, but a small tendril of sand appeared on the area she was about to touch. "Are you alright?" She asked, lowering her hands back to her side.

Gaara looked at her with a blank face. "Mother is silent," Gaara said, as he watched Naruto converse with the Jounin-sesnei's from Konoha. "She is wary of that ninja, she does not wish for me to kill him."

When Gaara said mother, she knew who he was talking about. For a Bijuu to be wary of someone, that was very scary.

The rest of the fights were rather uneventful, considering the people just finished up quickly not showing any of their real skills. Naruto had wanted to see Kabuto fight, however the shinobi forfeited for some reason.

(Unknown tunnel)

The silver haired medic-nin was standing in a dark hallway awaiting his master. Just then a small white snake slithered up into his range of vision. The white snake then transformed into Konoha's most hated missing-nin. "Kabuto." The snake like man hissed, "What do you have for me?"

Kabuto pushed up the glasses on his face and hand Orochimaru several folders. "The chuunin you fought is Naruto Senju. Apparently he is the last male Senju, Tsunade's son to be exact, and the son of the Yondaime hokage. It is unknown to me if he has the Mokuton, but he is also the container of the Kyuubi no Kitsune. It is also unknown if he has learned to control the Kyuubi's power or not as of yet."

Orochimaru nodded as he read through the folder. Looking at the picture of Naruto, he remembered Minato Namikaze. The man stole his rightful place as the Yondaime hokage, and then his son almost kills him. Granted he was severely weakened at the time, but he should not have been able to become so close to killing him. "Keep going on with gathering information, I need to make more preparations for our attack. If all goes well I shall have the power of three Jinchuriki during this invasion." Orochimaru then stepped into the shadows and left.

Hey everybody hope you liked this chapter.

Don't forget to review!

Ja Ne!
