Vile Here!
It has been a while since I updated this chapter. I tried to put the chunnin exams in one chapter, but I noticed I hit the 10,000 word count and continued so I had to cut it to make it shorter.
Here is the next chapter, Enjoy.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Naruto series.
Chapter 6
The Chunin Exams Part 1
It's that day. The day she has to step outside of the shadows and emerge to the world for them to see her.
And that would be none other than Yami or what the outside world has known her as.
She is Naruto Uzumaki, Captain of the Anbu Interrogation and Torture Department.
Right now she is pissed. She is pissed that the alcohol a few days ago and the following night outs with Anko didn't help erase her memory.
Right now she is going to take it out on the poor genins that are entering the exams.
She is on her way to the academy.
Room 301 is what she is told.
She changed from her Anbu gear to her gear she uses to wear back then. Black cargo pants with many pockets, Anbu battle boots, a dark red waist length coat, black fingerless gloves and her personal body suit that doesn't have a back or sleeves and goes down to her mid thigh. She also got rid of that black hair dye in her hair and burned it off. Naruto's hair style is just tied as a low ponytail, which went down to her ass. Her bangs went to the side and long. She still had her weights on and had her hidden Wakizashis on her back underneath her coat with the belt straps holding them that X in the front. All of her clothing is fire resistant and her coat is also weighted down with seals that are 100 pounds, her arms had weights that were 150 pounds on each wrist and her legs were 200 pounds on both ankles. She completely forgot she had weights on for a year and they were chakra weights so every once in a while they increase when she gets use to them. That's what happens when you forget you had something on for a year and you wonder why you are abnormally strong.
Naruto's duty in the chunnin exams is to give them a written test with a side thing about cheating. She knew Ibiki would do something about making them cheat and she was going to do the same thing, but they will fear cheating. Anko is just doing the usual and make the genin go through the forest of death. She just hopes Anko doesn't jump the gun.
Naruto went up the stairs and reached the third floor. She could of just shunshin in and scare the crap out of them, but she will do it her way.
Naruto reached room 301.
"Do you have information for Gaara of the sand, Rock Lee and some woman named Naruto." Naruto heard on the other side of the door.
Sounds like the Uchiha, but who has this kind of information? Naruto listen in to the conversation and heard detailed information about Gaara and Rock Lee. That kind of information isn't given out to the public and how did he get that kind of information?
"Let's see here Naruto... Naruto... Ah Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto flinched when this person said out her real name. Actually her name was given out to the jonin when Naruto was stated as a proctor, but that's beside the point. The point is, is that this genin is entering unknown territory if he give out her information.
I just hope he doesn't have detailed information on me, besides only the Hokage and the Commander of Anbu has my information. Naruto thought out and began to listen in more carefully.
"She didn't graduate from the academy." The man said and the Sasuke just smirked at that. "Instead she skipped the academy and entered Anbu. She made a new record of gaining captain status that use to be held by Itachi." The guy with the card said and Naruto sworn she felt killing intent from the Uchiha but not enough to make her fear him. "Her taijutsu is Anbu level, ninjutsu Anbu level, genjutsu is also Anbu level and she has an ability that rivals the flames of Konoha."
No doubt this guy is a spy. I should take care of him before he enters the second exam... flames of Konoha? Where did that come from? I'll ask the Hokage later. Naruto thought before she shunshin to the chunnin not wanting to make a scene.
Naruto appeared to the chunnins that were her eyes for the test. "You guys wearing insulated clothing?" Naruto asked as they all nodded. "Good than you remember your roles?" She heard groans from most of the chunnin, but more specifically from two lazy chunnin.
"Do we have to drag the bodies out of the room?" The lazy chunnin complained and his partner nodded.
"Izumo quit your bitching and do what you're told." Naruto said to the chunnin and shunshin to the room with the chunnin.
"Listen up you bastards!" Naruto appeared in the room with a pillar of flames that covered the board and hid the chunnin. This is the first time I did a mass genjutsu in my life. They sure will regret making me proctor this batch of candidates.
The genin in the room were shocked to see that the flames died down and showed a woman with long white hair with black and red clothing and is alone. All of them didn't notice her genjutsu.
Naruto smirked at the candidates that were scared from her little display.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki and I am the proctor of the first part of the chunnin exams." Naruto said and wrote her name on the board... with the right way of pronouncing it. "Say it wrong... well let's just say it will be the last mistake you will make in your life." Naruto warned the group and couldn't help but smirk at their reaction. They were all confused. Most were confused that a little girl was proctoring the chunnin exams and is doing this part alone. Hmm, 80 teams uh.
"There is no way a little bitch like you can proctor the exams!" A nin from kumo said and it was the wrong thing to say.
With speed that the candidates can't comprehend and Naruto appeared in front of him and kick the guy out of the room. Literally, she kicked the guy in the head and he went flying out of the room, through the window that is three stories high. I hope the fall kills him. Naruto thought as she went back in front of the board.
Again everyone was shocked at what she just did. Most were scared for their lives and made a mental note not to piss her off.
She's stronger than she use to be. Shino thought and wondered why his bugs were going haywire. I see she placed a genjutsu to the entire room. Shino's bugs told him and he isn't able to cancel it.
Damn, Akamaru says she is stronger than before. Kiba thought as he put Akamaru in his coat in fear.
How does she do it? She has this air of confidence and from what I remember she is strong. Hinata thought in admiration of Naruto.
I remember father talking about her. He says that she is a perfect interrogator. Maybe I should ask father to teach me the clan's techniques after the exams. Ino thought.
.........Troublesome.........
Maybe I should try bacon flavoured chips next. Thought an eating Akimichi.
It's her! That slut how ignored Sasuke! Thought a pink banshee.
So this is her. Whatever power you have, I shall obtain it from you.
Hmmm, Danzo-sama said she is the one who ruin his plans to take over Konoha. She seems capable maybe I should... Thought a root member that is teamed up with the Uchiha and screaming pink banshee.
It would be best to stay away from her. She made Gaara submit to her. Thought a shivering puppet user.
She knows how to scare a lot of people... I'm ashamed to have him as my brother. Temari looked over to her sweating bullets brother.
Mother is keeping me from attacking her. Gaara thought of how he is going to kill her.
Gai-sensei! I have finally met your first pupil whose flames of Youth burns Brightly! Thought a bushy brow.
Fate is written for me to beat Gai's first pupil. Thought a smug Hyuga.
I'm surprised she isn't shouting or dressed in a green spandex suit. Thought a weapon mistress.
Kukuku... she is strong. She could be another candidate to become my new host.
In Jonin Waiting Room
The jonin senseis of the genins were waiting in the room resting or talking amongst to each other.
"How do you think the genin are doing?" Kurenia asks the other jonin.
Asuma just took a puff of his cigarette and Kakashi continued on to read his smut. Kurenai just sighed to herself to have non-conversational people to talk with.
"DON'T WORRY KURENIA! THE GENIN ARE CAPABLE ENOUGH TO HANDLE THE CHUNNIN EXAMS!" Gai shouted out, scaring the crap out of the three.
"Hn, you say something Gai?" Kakashi said in his usual tone and Gai was crying a river saying something about how hip his rival is.
"You don't have to worry Kurenia." Asuma said reassuring her that the genin can handle the exams. "They will be fine. Hey Kakashi." Asuma called out to Kakashi gaining his attention. "Who exactly is proctoring the first part of the exam?"
Kakashi just continued on to read and not looking away from it. "I'd say Ibiki is the one who is proctoring."
"Ibiki you say, well there screwed." Asuma said confusing Kurenia and Kakashi just nodded.
"Who exactly is this Ibiki? I heard of him, but no one explained who he is." Kurenia asked hoping to get information on who trained Yami.
"That's right, it's your first year as a jonin, and well Ibiki is an interrogator." Asuma just said and Kurenia just waited for him to explain. "He is so good at what he does; he doesn't need to torture you. In fact, he makes you torture yourself."
"So why is he proctoring the exams." Kurenia continued to ask.
"He doesn't torture the body like other interrogators, he tortures the human mind." Asuma explained to Kurenai. "That is what I heard anyways."
"You know what I heard." The group of jonin turned to an unknown leaf ninja. "Is that Ibiki isn't the one who is proctoring the first part of the exam." This gained every jonin's attention. "I heard he had his apprentice proctoring the exams as we speak." Many murmurs of who exactly is Ibiki's apprentice.
"Does anyone here know whose Ibiki's apprentice is?" A random jonin asked and one stood up.
"I heard her name was Yami." This gained everyone's attention and more people began to talk about this Yami.
"Her real name is Naruto Uzumaki." A jonin said out loud when that information was given out and one person had to know who she is.
"YOSH! MY STUDENT HAS FINALLY MADE IT UP IN THE RANKS! I WONDER HOW HER FLAMES OF YOUTH HAVE BECOME!" Gai shouted out as he had anime tears in his eyes remembering the little fighting machine that he trained a few years back. Most of the jonin were freaked out on the concept that there is another Gai out there beside his pupil lee. Now there are three of them. So they thought. Some pitied the girl to have him as her sensei. Is Gai really that bad...... WELL?
"Has anyone met this Naruto?" Kakashi asked as Gai shouted out and Kurenai raised her hands and people were asking who she is.
"From what I remember of her is that she is powerful and very etiquette with genjutsu and ninjutsu." Kurenia explained and Asuma had a thought.
"And let's not forget she spent some time with Gai and her Taijutsu must be very high." Asuma put out there and the three had to agree with that and wondered how strong is this Naruto Uzumaki.
"Wait a minute." Kakashi said gaining both of the jonins attention. "She has spent some time in Anbu's interrogation department, what part of interrogation is she into?" This brought in more conversations on what the rumours say about Yami which they learned is Naruto.
"If what the rumours are true than the genin are royally screwed." Asuma said as he took another puff and Kakashi felt sorry for the genin. Kurenia was only more intrigued by this Naruto.
In room 301
"Whoever is teamed up with that guy, get the hell out." Naruto said as two kumo candidates left the room.
Naruto just grinned and looked over to the candidates. Hmmm, Kabuto Yakushi huh. Guess I'll deal with him later on. She looked over to the genin 8 and one particular genin. A root ninja. Ibiki said that he is to keep an eye on the Uchiha and is to keep him out of trouble. Naruto though as she looked at the pale looking genin who is pissing off the Sasuke fan girls by calling Sasuke dickless which she finds it funny and probably Anko as well. Ibiki said that Danzo was seriously pissed off that he was forced out of the council and doesn't hold any power over Konoha. He didn't show it but Ibiki felt it and it would be best to have him eliminate as soon as possible. Naruto thought of the root leader and looked over the genin and saw a miniature version of Gai. What the hell? He seriously looks like a lost son of Gai, maybe, but it is possible... nah, not possible, one is enough. Naruto just ignored that thought and looked over to Gaara. He seems calmer and he still has that killer look in his eyes and signs of insomnia. He must have nightmares of people he killed before.
"Alright listen up!" Naruto said in her work voice. "Everyone here that is entering the chunnin exams is to sign this waver form here." Naruto held up sheets of paper. "Those here that sign this are saying that it is not my fault that you were killed in the first part of the exam." Naruto again smirked at the more confused looks.
"But we have signed the slips that were given to us!" A random genin yelled out and Naruto couldn't help but laugh, and then soon entered into a laughing fit. The laugh was scaring the hell out of the genin and Naruto stopped.
"Oh you poor delusional genin. Those slips were for you to register you to enter the chunnin exams. These wavers here will guarantee me to not be blame or enter a law suit if you get killed during the time I proctor the exams." Naruto said and still held that smirk the freaked out the genin. Kami, I see why Anko and Ibiki likes proctoring the exams.
After the genin brought in there papers and sign another paper then they were given a place to sit in the room. Once everyone was seated and ready.
"Alright brats, about the written test. You have ten questions to answer in one hour and the tenth question will be given to you when there is fifteen minutes left. Each question equals one point and every point equal ups to ten points. Also, this is a team exam, so you and your teammates test will equal up, which will come to result whether or not you and your teammates pass or fail. Now the rules for the test." Naruto heard some groans for the rules and she cleared her throat. "NO CHEATING!" Naruto shouted as she leaked some of her killing intent that made a few people shiver in fear, but not enough to make them pass out. "Those who are caught cheating will result to them losing two points off their current score. You get a total of five warnings. If you get caught the fifth time, well we'll have to find out now won't we." Naruto left that hang in the air which frighten the genin.
"Ok, just before you begin the test, say hello to my little friends." Naruto held out her hands and a ball of fire formed. It later showed a red slit eye and was soon floating around the room. Many more followed that were acting like sentries that floated to the walls and windows and were keeping a strict eye on the genin. "These little buggers will keep a close eye out on you. One sign of cheating they will tally it up and each are telepathically so each time they spot you cheating it is gathered as one, not an individual but as a whole." Naruto explained to the freaking out genin when the eyes were right in front of the terrified genin. Yup, they will soon regret making me a proctor for this exam.
"Alright, Begin!" Naruto shouted to begin the exam.
All the genins were looking at the paper that is in front of them. Most of the genin had troubled looks when they read the questions.
The questions are impossible to be answered by genin and chunnin. Naruto thought as she sat down on a chair behind the desk in front of the board and started reading a book on earth manipulation. The only way to get an answer is to get the answers from the hidden chunnins. Soon she spotted some genin cheating and some weren`t very that good at cheating until she got a signal to eliminate a genin. Here comes the fun part of the exam.
The genins were trying to answer the exam until they heard a scream of pain.
Everyone in the room looked where the scream was coming from to see those balls of fire was attacking a genin and he soon was engulfed in flames and fallen to the floor not moving. Naruto is actually grinning at the reactions from the genin. Some were freaking out and some weren`t able to move. That is until one was brave enough to speak.
"What the hell, you aren't allowed to do this!" One genin shouted as he is that genin's teammate.
"Sorry for you're lost, but I did say you'll find out what happens when you get caught cheating and he indeed got caught." Naruto said not looking away from her book. "Since you are his teammate I suggest you leave or do you want to die with him." Naruto said and soon two genins attacked Naruto but they were intercepted by the balls of fire and killed. "Alright back with the exam."
Some of the genin were having second thoughts about the chunnin exams. Naruto noticed that few of the genins weren't affected of what happened in front of them. He is definitely a spy. His chakra reserves are jonin and what idiot shows information he gathered from other villages to other village ninja. Naruto thought.
20 minutes later
The tension in the room started to get unbearable fifteen minutes ago. A few more genin were killed from cheating and tried to fight back, but all was futile.
Naruto started releasing heat from her body to heat up the room. People usually break in a heated room. Naruto thought as she continued to watch the genin, as some genin release some of their collars trying to cool off, but the room is still too hot.
"I can't take it anymore!" One genin stood up and ran out of the room and he didn't get killed. Most of the genin look dumbfounded that nothing happened to him
"You guys realise you can leave right?" Naruto said and some of the genin were gawking at her or their jaws touching the tables. "You guys thought you had to sit through this didn't you?" Naruto asked them and more than half of the genin left the room. Wow, that leaves 35 teams left. Damn it! I need ten more teams to go.
The genins weren't trying to cheat, but some were bold enough to cheat.
Hinata Hyuga used her Byakugan to cheat and she stopped using it once she got the answers. She really knows how to use her family's eyes and she saw through my genjutsu. The other Hyuga is using his Byakugan to his fullest and was smirking at his accomplishment of getting rid of her genjutsu. Damn stoic Hyugas. The Aburame is using his bugs to get his answers. The Aburame are good with information gathering. The Inuzuka is getting the answers from his dog. Why isn't the chunnin signalling for his elimination...? I see, they don't speak dog. Then she looked upon the pink banshee and she was using her huge head of hers. That head of hers is only good for target practice. Then she came across the trio. Damn lazy ass bastard is sleeping. The Yamanaka used her family's jutsu to enter the pink banshees head to get the answers. Naruto thought she would be a good interrogator if she joined Anbu. The Uchiha was using his sharingan to copy his answers. He even copies handwritings.
Then she looked at the mini-Gai. She followed his eye sight to see him looking at mirrors at the ceiling and a ninja wire connected to his partner. Even if they are not together, they are still working together. Naruto looked at the red headed sand ninja named Gaara who was just sitting there doing nothing. The cat suit guy is sweating bullets. Looks like I ruined his plan to get the answers. Naruto thought while she looked at the female of the group is glaring at her brother.
"Alright you bastards!" Naruto yelled out as it is the last fifteen minutes of the hour. "Alright now there are more rules for the 10th question." Some were more confused by this and some were talking amongst each other. "Ok you can choose whether or not to take the question." More of the genin were questioning this. "If you choose not to take the question than you and your team is out of the exams. For those who take the question and gets it wrong... well, you get killed." This caused uproar in the room.
"What do you mean we get killed if we get the question wrong? There are those who have taken the chunnin exam more than once before." A female leaf genin said who is teamed with the Uchiha and the rest of the genin nodded.
"Well, they didn't have me as a proctor for the exams. Now if you don't want to take the question than leave." Naruto said and some of the genin leave. "Alright, let me remind you to those that are going to answer this question, you get it wrong..." Naruto unsheathe a hidden wakizashi and stabbed it on the table. "... you die." That scared more of them out of the room. Damn it! 27 teams. I would have thought the rookies would have left the room, but their pride is going to get them killed. Naruto looked at the female Hyuga who is smirking at her. She seems to get what I am doing.
"Alright then!" Naruto said to the remaining genin as she stood up from her desk. "You guys... Pass."
...
Wait for it.
...
...
"WHAT!" There it is.
"What do we mean we pass? What happened to the 10th question?" the female sand ninja said who is shocked from this happening.
"There is no 10th question. It is a life or death decision. To become a chunnin you must be able to make a life or death decision or in your case risk it." Naruto explained as the genin began to calm down and Naruto sheathed her wakizashi.
"What about the test." One genin asked.
"Yeah, it was a waste of time!"
"It wasn't a waste of time." Naruto said as she did a hand seal. The ashes where the genin were killed disappear and the balls of fire disappear and in their place were chunnin. "The test is a way to see how well your information gathering skills are." More were confused and Naruto just sighed. "You see the test is to see how good you are to cheat which is a way to say how well you gather information." Soon the genin understand.
"But what happened to them." The genin motioned to the bodies that are piled at the back.
"You see I wanted you genin to realise that you can get killed being a chunnin. Some missions you are to spy or gather information for your village. You see what happens there is you only get one try and not five tries. You get caught you get tortured or killed or interrogated. That is why I made you guys witness what will happened if you get caught. Even if they get killed five times over." Naruto looked at the clock. Five more minutes for Anko to take the genin.
Then the window shattered. A ball that soon opened up and two kunai pinned a piece of cloth to the ceiling showing a message.
The sexy and single 2nd Proctor Anko Mitarashi.
At least she gets her timing right. Naruto thought as the black cloth covered her view of the genin.
"Don't relax just yet!" Anko said with a microphone in her hand. "You still have to get through me. Anko Mitarashi!"
"You can get rid of the microphone Anko." Naruto said as she burned the banner that covered her view.
"Hey! It took me two hours to make that!" Anko yelled into the microphone and right in front of Naruto's face.
"It took you two hours to make that banner?" Naruto asked as she slapped the microphone out of Anko's hands.
"Well, I was kind of drunk and I... let's just say I was drunk ok." Anko dropped the subject as she counted the numbers of genin. "Ha! You lost the bet!"
"I only needed two more than you would be paying the next time we go out drinking." Naruto said as she remembered her bet she made with Anko. If Naruto has 25 or more teams remaining in her time proctoring than she would be the one to pay the next time they go out drinking.
"Yeah, don't worry, it was your first time proctoring and not bad by the way. I'll get rid of half or more when I go through with them." Anko said with a wicked grin.
Naruto felt pity for the genin. They just went through her and now they are going to be proctored by someone who doesn't know the meaning of restraint.
After the genin left and Naruto was just sitting on a chair not bothering to look over the papers. She snaps her fingers and a group of Anbu appeared in front of her.
"Follow me."
5 Days Later
"Is this accurate Kabuto?" Orochimaru asked his spy Kabuto who happens to be alone when he entered the tower and his clothes were a bit burned and sliced up.
"Yes Orochimaru-sama. Sasuke's skills during the exam are on that card." Kabuto said as he straightens his glasses and handed the info card to Orohimaru.
"What happened to the other two?" Orochimaru narrowed his eyes at Kabuto when he asked that question.
"I got figured out as a spy and narrowly avoid capture, but the other two were killed. I have finished my intended mission though." Kabuto held his guard up as Orochimaru chuckled at Kabuto.
"Kabuto. You have become careless in your spying. After all, that Naruto was eyeing you suspiciously from the moment she entered the room and captured us in a genjutsu." Orochimaru smirked with that information. "No one was able to capture me in a genjutsu before, she is a threat to our plans Kabuto. Don't underestimate her." Then he grinned evilly that shook Kabuto's spine. "She will become an excellent host." Orochimaru took a scroll out of his pocket and handed it to Kabuto.
"The Plan's for Suna." Kabuto stated as Orochimaru nodded.
"Don't fail me again Kabuto or else I will…" Orochimaru left that unsaid but the message was clear. He melted into the wall signalling he left the area.
Kabuto pocketed the scroll and shunshin away.
Tower Office
Kabuto shunshin into the office that the Hokage, Tenzo, Ibiki and Anko were in.
"Did it work?" Anko asked as Kabuto shimmered away and in his place was Naruto.
"Please don't make me do that again." Naruto said just before she released a shiver that shook her body. "Oh god he wants me to become one of his hosts!" Naruto began to have a small breakdown, but a hidden stash of sake was able to prevent her from breaking down.
After much needed sake Naruto has calmed down and gave the scroll that she received from Orochimaru to the Hokage who looked it over.
"It was risky, but you were able to get this much out of him." The Hokage said as Naruto was taking another gulp of sake.
Now she regrets capturing Kabuto.
5 Days Ago
"Alright you maggots! It's time to start the 2nd exam!" Anko shouted signalling the genin to enter the forest. All the genins entered the forest... except for a certain individual.
Gate 43
"Kabuto Yakushi." Naruto said as she is standing in Kabuto's way to enter the forest. "I wonder if that is your real name."
"Yes, it is my real name." Kabuto pressed his glasses in place and he is wary of her presence. "Do we have a problem Naruto-kun?"
"I hear you have information cards. Mind showing mine." Naruto asked as Kabuto handed her information. "You really have some talent in information gathering." Naruto said as she looked at the very detailed information of her. "Tell me, how a spy like you haven't gotten caught yet?"
This caught Kabuto and his teammates off guard and Naruto just burned her information card and snapped her fingers again as the Anbu that followed her pinned the genin down, but they were putting up a fight. Kabuto killed two Anbu with chakra scalpels and one of his teammates died trying to escape.
"Damn it! Go warn Orochimaru." Kabuto said as he was fending off the Anbu.
Orochimaru. Naruto went to intercept the other 'genin'. "Going somewhere." Naruto throws a punch but the guy grabbed it and Naruto felt her chakra being absorbed. The guy started chuckling.
"I'm going to absorb all of your chakra until you have nothing left!" The man said as he pinned Naruto down and started absorbing Naruto's chakra faster.
Naruto was just laughing at the man's attempts to absorb her chakra. This was unsettling the man absorbing her chakra. "You want my chakra?" Naruto said sweetly that would make you back away in fear. "FINE! You can have all the chakra you want!" Naruto released her first stage of Jigoku Uyoku and she soon was engulfed in chakra. The difference between her original and Jigoku Uyoku's chakra is that Jigoku has a hint of fire chakra inside it. The moment the guy absorbed that chakra he felt pain in his body and it started to spread all over his body. The pain soon got unbearable he released Naruto from his hold. "What's wrong? Didn't you want my chakra?"
"What the hell are you!" The guy was trembling as he soon began to feel more pain in his body. "What did you do to me!"
"I didn't do anything. It was my chakra." Naruto said as the guy's skin from his body started to melt. "You see my chakra has a hint of fire in it and it is coursing through your chakra pathways and your body can't handle it." Now he is engulfed in flames. "Your body can't handle the flames so you will just turn to ashes." True to her word the fires burned away and left ashes in his place. She went back to where the Anbu were fighting Kabuto and they were getting there asses handed to them. "I leave you guys for a minute and you need my help." Naruto appeared behind Kabuto and knocked him out like he was nothing.
"I'm sorry Captain, but he is stronger than he appears." The leader of the squad said.
"I see, then take him to the interrogation rooms and wait for my orders." Naruto ordered the Anbu as they gave her Kabuto's information cards and left the scene. Naruto was looking over the cards once she figured out how to work the cards. Each card she looked at she couldn't help but laugh at the lack of security in Konoha. She left via fire shunshin.
With the Hokage
The Hokage was doing his regular thing and fighting the evil paperwork. He had to send invites to Konoha's clients and the Daimyo. It is hard work to write letters. He groaned after finishing writing one letter to a client.
Kami, I'd do anything for a break. The Hokage thought and Kami answered with a pillar of fire... wait a second. Kami doesn't answer with a pillar of fire.
"Hokage-sama, I just captured a spy and I think he is working for Orochimaru." Naruto said giving the Hokage what she has discovered.
As long as it gets me away from paperwork. The Hokage thought.
"From what I gathered, this Kabuto has gathered information off other villages and most of the information is about Konoha's patrols, security and ninja information." Naruto handed the Hokage the info cards she got off Kabuto.
The Hokage looked over the cards and each one his mood changed from carefree to seriousness and Naruto knew she have to be professional when he gets like this. "Where is Kabuto Yakushi?" The Hokage asked with a serious tone.
"I ordered the Anbu to put him in an interrogation room." Naruto replied.
"Right, I want you to start getting information out of him as soon as possible and I want to know what my wayward student is going to do." The Hokage ordered and Naruto nodded before glancing over at the window for a second and then fire shunshin out of the room.
"So Orochimaru had returned to Konoha." The place where Naruto glanced at a man was sitting on the window. "And who is the fire cracker?" The man with long spiky white hair, with a green obi with a red vest on asked.
"It would seem that way. Orochimaru has finally come back to Konoha to destroy it." The Hokage said not looking at his student Jiraiya. "And I advise you to stay away from her. I wouldn't want your ninja career to end right now." The Hokage warned his student but he knew that he wouldn't listen to him when it comes to woman. Jiraiya still trying to get a naked picture of Tsunade is proof of it.
"I was just asking old man. You made it sound like she is strong enough to defeat me." Jiraiya started laughing at what he just said but the Hokage kept his serious look. Jiraiya soon stopped laughing when he didn't get the old man to loosen up. "Seriously old man, you need to lighten up."
"She is strong Jiraiya. If I had to say how strong she is, I'd say she is able to keep up with Gai on an all-out taijutsu fight." The Hokage said as Jiraiya shivered at the thought of the green beast. Even he wouldn't know if he would be able to fight Gai on an all-out taijutsu fight. "I'm not so sure about her other areas."
"If I had to say, she could become a Hokage right now but I will have to wait for her in a few more years." The Hokage said as Jiraiya does still not believe someone like her is that strong. "Her Name is Naruto Uzumaki."
With Naruto
Naruto is walking in the halls of Anbu HQ and she heard a commotion.
When she got there the door to the interrogation room was broken down with Kabuto standing above the Anbu that were ordered to guard him.
"Didn't like your living arrangements I take it." Naruto taunted Kabuto as he just smirked.
"I had to admit Naruto-kun, you caught me off guard for the third time." Kabuto said and Naruto had to wonder about how she caught him off guard three times. "Confused, well the first time is you catching me in a genjutsu during the exam. The second time is you catching me being a spy and the third is you knocking me out. You won't get a fourth time." Kabuto ran towards Naruto while chakra engulfed his hands showing the chakra scalpels.
Naruto had to end this quickly and used her Jigokugan on Kabuto. She put as much chakra she had into her genjutsu and without her knowing, she unlocked the third stage of the Jigokugan.
"Welcome to hell, Kabuto." Naruto said before unleashing her genjutsu.
The Genjutsu
The place is dark. Pitch dark. Darker than dark. So dark you get lost in it. Not physically, but mentally.
What is this genjutsu? Like a genjutsu is able to trap me. Kabuto motioned his hands to a hand seal to release himself from this genjutsu, but he noticed that he can't feel his hands. What! Where's my hands! Kabuto was feeling around and he couldn't feel his hands.
What kind of genjutsu is this. Kabuto tried to gather his chakra but he didn't feel anything, nothing, just emptiness.
I have to get o... He soon couldn't hear his own thoughts.
People wondered what it is like to be in darkness.
Illusion Ninja Art: Devouring Darkness
It was something Naruto created. It is a genjutsu that would devour you completely. The darkness will consume you.
This is what Naruto created to answer 'what it is like to be covered in darkness?'
Is this what hell really is? Naruto thought as she cancelled her genjutsu.
Real World
"AAAAaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Was heard across Anbu HQ.
Naruto watched Kabuto quiver and ball himself as he soon passed out from that mental ordeal.
"What is going on here!" Naruto shivered from that tone of voice and knew who it came from.
"A prisoner escaped and I had to subdue him Ibiki." Naruto motioned to the shivering Kabuto.
"He's the spy?" Naruto nodded and Ibiki had to sigh. "You had to destroy him." Naruto had to sheepishly scratch her back.
"Well I don't want to increase the repair bills of what jutsu I do." Naruto said not wanting to pay for the damage she would probably have done if she had a straight fight with this Kabuto. "Besides his mind is so wrecked I can interrogate him more easily now." Naruto said as a squad of Anbu grabbed Kabuto and put him back in an interrogation room.
"His mind is so messed up he might not give you some kind of information." Ibiki said to Naruto as she just smirked and showed Ibiki her new eyes. This time it is the same with another crescent moon that is pointed down that is merged with the other crescent that is point up with a slit going down the middle of both. "What can it do now?"
"I have no idea."
In the Interrogation room.
Kabuto was strapped down to his chair. It wasn't any normal chair, it is THE chair, the chair that absorbs your chakra from you and won't allow you to use any of your chakra.
It is something that Ibiki made for such an occasion.
"So chakra suppression seals don't work on you." Naruto said as she examined Kabuto who looks like shit by the way. "Enjoy your stay in darkness did you?" he flinched and she couldn't help but grin at the thought of using it more. "So tell me, what is Orochimaru doing in Konoha?"
He kept silent holding his resolve.
Naruto just smirked at Kabuto's attempt to stay silent. Time to give it a try.
Soon Naruto's eyes turned bright red with a slits with two crescent moons pointing up and down that are joined together in the middle of the eye. When Kabuto looked at Naruto's eyes, his eyes soon looked blank and he was in a trance.
"Kabuto, you are a truthful boy." Naruto said hypnotizing Kabuto. "Are you a truthful boy?"
"I am a truthful boy." Kabuto said as he became the truthful boy.
"Kabuto, you will tell me the truth when I ask you a question." Naruto said wondering how long she will last using the hypnotize eye.
"I will tell you the truth when you ask me a question." Kabuto was just blank as he said this and Naruto took out a recorder and a notepad with a pencil.
"What is Orochimaru doing here in Konoha?" she asked him.
"Orochimaru is here to destroy Konoha and take the last Uchiha as his new body." Naruto was writing this down and a recorder was recording this.
"How is he planning to destroy Konoha?"
"Orochimaru made an alliance with Sand and is taking the Kazekage's place in the Kage's both during the last part of the exam." Kabuto gave great detailed information of what the invasion plans were, from the attack from the stadium to the summoning of the snakes. Naruto had bead of sweats coming down her face showing she is having trouble holding her Jigokugan in it's hypnotize state. She activated her first stage of Jigoku Uyoku to increase her time.
One minute and forty seconds is a good improvement of the Hypnotize eye. Naruto thought as she continued on with her interrogation. It wasn't much but she felt there is more to this. "How did you get Konoha's patrols and information?"
"I received them from a root member." Naruto snapped the pencil in her hand when she heard that.
"A root member?" Kabuto said yes. "Do you know who the leader of root is?" Naruto asked hoping he will answer.
"The War Hawk Danzo." Kabuto told her as she activated her second stage of Jigoku Uyoku to ask more questions.
"How long has Danzo been giving Orochimaru information on Konoha?" Naruto asked as she was grinning like a mad scientist hearing this information.
"For the past 4 years." Naruto was writing this down with the broken pencil she broke.
"What are Danzo's plans?"
"He is very secretive but he made it very clear he wants the current Hokage dead so he can take over the village once the invasion is over with."
"Is Danzo planning to take over the village when it is weak?" Kabuto nodded his head and she had to use her third stage of Jigoku Uyoku as the flaming tattoo covered her back, arms and up to her neck to her cheeks and the coat she is wearing is able to withstand the flaming tattoo. "Is there any meetings with root or sand nin?"
"I am to meet a root member after the second part of the chunnin exams."
"Where do you go to meet them and are there any requirements so they won't suspect a spy?" Kabuto soon gave her the information she needed and deactivated her eyes and tattoo. She was sweating like crazy and breathing harshly. Kabuto looked confused and was wondering what is going on. "Thank you for your time Kabuto." She left the room leaving Kabuto in the chair.
"4 minutes you can use your hypnotize eye." She turned to see Ibiki leaning against the wall and she gave him the recorder and the report. "Get some rest for now and meet me at the tower in the forest of death." Naruto nodded then use what is left of her chakra to shunshin in her room.
3 Days Later
The Hokage, Anko, Ibiki, Tenzo or Commander, and Naruto were in the Hokage's office in the Tower in the Forest of Death. The Hokage put up a silence jutsu so no one can hear what they are about to speak.
"Is this accurate?" He asked the head of the interrogation department which is Naruto.
"I had Ibiki to take a shot at Kabuto and he gave almost the same thing, but my info is more accurate." Naruto said in pride and Ibiki was again in a battle over killing her or being proud of her. Anko was grinning like crazy and the Hokage wondered what made her more cheerful. "I also had Anko interrogate him as well." The Hokage now understood why Anko is so... cheerful.
The Hokage nodded this and continued on with the report. He was most disturbed when he was told that the sand village is going to participate in the attack as well. The Hokage sent Anbu to coordinates to a place that Kabuto has given and confirmed that the Kazekage is dead, which he will have to bring to the sand village attention but hold that out until it is necessary. But the most disturbing information is that Danzo is giving Orochimaru information of the village for a couple of years now. This is what he is going to need to kill him.
"Any ideas on how we are going to have to go through with this?" The Hokage asked the four people in the room.
"Well, we can't bring this information to the village right now." Tenzo said as everyone agreed. "We will have to keep Orochimaru in the dark as much as possible."
"We won't be able to bring this information to the sand village as of now. It is like what Kabuto said, he is taking the Kazekage's place during the chunnin exams and we know that he has the ability to take people's faces." Ibiki said to the group.
"He is currently controlling the sand village right now." Naruto said getting a nod from Ibiki.
"If that is true, then bringing this information to the sand village will just warn Orochimaru of his plan's being founded out." The Hokage said as they continued to figure out what to do with this information. "We'll continue on with this meeting after the second exam is finished. You are all dismissed." Everyone left the office to do whatever it is they do.
A Day before the Exam
Naruto couldn't believe what she is hearing.
The Hokage wants her to meet Orochimaru when Sasuke enters the tower and he hasn't entered the tower yet. Kabuto's mission was to get personal observation skills of Sasuke during the Forest of Death phase and he has to present this information to Orochimaru.
Ibiki and Tenzo insisted they would send Tenzo in Kabuto's place. Anko wouldn't be the best person to go near Orochimaru. After all she barely escaped Orochimaru alive when she went to go hunt him down and since she has the curse seal she will be recognised by Orochimaru.
Naruto on the other hand is a specialist in genjutsu and many areas, but she is able to put a strong genjutsu on herself, she can hide her dojutsu with a genjutsu and make Orochimaru believe that he is meeting Kabuto. After all, the Hokage wants to make Orochimaru believe that Konoha doesn't know about the invasion.
Even if he has to go this far, after all, Kabuto seems to be in the middle of the plan.
After she successfully tricked Orochimaru and downing some sake she has returned to her old self. She has never met anyone who would grin so evil before and his presence has scared her.
Who knew that Kabuto had it rough.
He also stated that she will be taking Kabuto's place with his meetings.
Yes, Kabuto has it rough indeed.
Day of the Exam
"I"M WHAT!" Naruto shouted to Ibiki and Anko.
"You're going to referee the preliminaries. Hayate is busy at the moment and there is too many genin that passed so we need someone to referee." Anko said as she looked down at Naruto who is radiating a mass amount of heat and killing intent.
"But it is a waste of my time. I still have to go plan out to meet this Baki and-"
"Either you do this or I am going to make you do some of my paperwork." Ibiki threaten Naruto who stiffen at the threat of doing paperwork.
"Fine." She gave in.
To be Continued
