Chapter 54 - Chuunin Exams Second Phase [1]

''The Second Phase of the Chuunin Exams will happen within the Forty-Fourth Training Ground, this specific Training Ground is suuuuper dangerous!'' Anko said with a smirk before continuing

''It is known as Forest of the Death, I believe the name is self-explanatory, enough of that, I'll start explaining the rules, there are two scrolls, the Scroll of Heaven and the Scroll of Earth, each team will start with one out of these two and will need to rob the Teams with the Scroll you lack in order to pass, when you get both Scrolls, you just need to go towards that Tower in the center!'' She said while pointing out to an enormous tower that could be seen even from their position.

Anko smiled once again before she continued ''Now, I'll need you to sign this Contract, here, if you die, it won't be my responsibility, you can get it there!'' smiling, she pointed towards a desk where a young man stood with a bunch of papers, probably the contracts.

Getting their contracts, Naruto, Haku, Sasuke and Sakura read it briefly before signing it, just as the Exam was about to start, three ''explosions'' of colors were made just behind Naruto, that turned around just to see a somewhat embarrassing introduction

''Konohamaru, the disciple of the great Uzumaki Naruto!'' The boy said while doing a strange pose as an orange-haired girl continued ''Moegi, the s.e.xiest Kunoichi from Konoha!" and lastly ''Udon, I'm intelligent!''

'I'm intelligent, that was it?' Naruto thought speechlessly before asking ''So, what is the purpose of you three coming here? Also, is that Moegi your girlfriend, Konohamaru? He's a bit ugly but I hope you don't mind him, Orange Girl!''

Konohamaru and Moegi blushed slightly before the latter punched Konohamaru's head due to her embarrassment ''Naruto-nii-san, she hit me! Can't you at least protect me?''

''Hmmm? I didn't seem to hear you!'' Naruto replied.

Feeling that the world had no hope anymore, Konohamaru gave up on resisting before he suddenly remembered something ''OH! I remembered, we came here because we're going to interview the participants of the Chuunin Exam, Naruto-nii-san, please be the first to be interview!''

''Everyone, a 15 minutes break because the ''reporters'' from the Konoha's News are there!'' Anko suddenly shouted.

Naruto nodded slightly, much to the Trio joy, that started to throw a barrage of questions towards Naruto ''How do you feel doing such dangerous test with a chance of death? How many missions did you do before? How are you feeling right now?!''

Acting in a somewhat professional manner, Naruto pushed his nonexistent glasses up before he said ''I feel great doing the Second Phase that has a chance of death because it won't matter if a Snake suddenly comes to bite me or whatever, I'll be the winner. I did 102 D-Rank Missions, 69 C-Rank Missions, 15 B-Rank Missions and 2 A-Rank Missions. I'm feeling normal right now.'' [1]

The Trio nodded in a satisfied manner ''Naruto-nii-san, you'll be on the first page, we'll go to interview others!'' Konohamaru said while giving thumbs up to his ''master'' or ''big brother'' figure.

''Now, now! The 15 minutes is up, everyone, choose the one responsible for holding your Scroll and make him get it here!'' Anko shouted loud enough for everyone to hear, as the strongest, Team 7 chose Naruto to get the Scroll and so he did.

Looking over the scroll as they were in front of one from the many gates that they are going to enter, Naruto said to his Team ''Our scroll is the Scroll of Heaven, meaning we need to get a Scroll of Earth, let's go.''

''Cha! Let's go and beat the hell out of our enemies while stealing their Scroll of Earth, CHA!'' Sakura was so excited that she said that out loud, gaining strange stares from Sasuke and Naruto, even Haku looked at her strangely.

'Et tu, Haku?' She thought dejectedly before they entered the Forest of Death, then, Naruto started to feel the entire Forest of Death, after he found the Uzumaki, he said to his team ''I'm going somewhere, here are some Scroll of Heaven Kage Bunshins, if any of you are in danger, just inject chakra in that Kunai and I'll come''

Without further warnings, he disappeared from their vision, leaving an angered Sakura ''Dammit! Naruto always leaves like that, always have something to do! At least you're different from him, Sasuke-kun!'' she said.

Sasuke averted her gaze with slight amount of shyness that went unnoticed by both Sakura and Haku, they soon went down the forest, unknown to them, a certain snake-like man disguised as a woman followed them from the shadows.

Meanwhile, Naruto was flickering through the tree branches while occasionally killing a huge animal that tried to eat him, Kurama was laughing his nonexistent a.s.s off due to such low animals trying to eat his partner.

Appearing in an open circle where a Team of three stood there, looking towards their surroundings cautiously, it was the members of Kusagakure that passed to the Second Phase, Karin being one of their members ''Oi, tool! Let me bite your arm to heal, these bastards from Takigakure almost killed me!''

A member of the Team said despite having only a shallow wound on his face, Karin hesitantly raised her arm, she was used to that as shown by her arm that was filled by bite-like marks.

Just as that member from Kusagakure's Team was going to bite Karin's arm, a sword fell as a hot, red-colored liquid splattered around, drenching the original green grass with blood, staining it with its bloody red coloration, the Sword had cut the Kusagakure member's head.

''Are you okay, Karin?'' Naruto asked the red-haired girl, that nodded unconsciously, they had met just a few days ago but she felt an overly familiar feeling coming from that teenager.

Naruto then looked towards the remaining Kusagakure's Genin with a smile that would be devastatingly beautiful if not because the blood on Naruto's face, his sadistic smile and his eyes, that were devoid of any kind of emotion.

''I-It's you! T-The Sadistic Demon! Why... Why are you here?!'' The Kusagakure's Genin said while stuttering, his voice was filled with fear.

'Sadistic Demon, eh? What a nice title!' Naruto thought, that was a title given to him, acknowledged by the entire World, an incredible feat considering his age, that happened because almost all of the missions he did, when it came to Ninjas and Bandits, none of them died without being tortured gruesomely.

These feats had spread through months, as such, Naruto was slowly acknowledged as the 'Sadistic Demon', a title that he and Kakashi were proud, the white-haired man thoughts were 'My cute otouto has grown up! He even has a title of his own, just like my title that went from 'Copy Ninja' to 'White Fang', I'm finally up to your standards now, father?' he thought.

Just then, Naruto disappeared from his position, akin to teleport, he was already behind the Kusagakure's Genin, that wasn't able to do anything before his head fell to the ground, in matter of seconds, his consciousness faded to nothingness.

Evaporating the blood from his body through his dark red-colored Lightning, Naruto looked over Karin before saying with his trademark, bright smile ''Now I'll be able to introduce myself properly, nice to meet you, I'm Uzumaki Naruto!"
