Chapter 56 - Chuunin Exams Second Phase [3]

Seeing the rising Chakra and murderous intent, Orochimaru liked his lips excitedly before his arms turned in three snakes each, shooting towards Naruto ''It doesn't matter what, your body will be mine in the future!'' the snake-like man said.

''Is that so?'' Naruto said while evading the six Snakes easily, then, he flickered in front of Orochimaru and punched out, his fist connected with Orochimaru's face and then, dragged him down all the way to the ground, a loud explosion being made as ground dust rose up.

The explosion attracted attention of the Jounins, principally Anko, that was investigating a certain member from Takigakure 'That can't be...' she thought before speeding up towards the Forest of Death. [1]

''Kukuku, how strong!'' Orochimaru said as his long tongue licked his lips in an excited manner despite the falling skin of his face ''Ah, I'm excited to see how you'll turn out, how you'll grow strong, Naruto-kun! When the time comes, your body will be mine!'' the snake-like man continued before disappearing within the

Naruto was utterly disgusted by the man weird habits so he didn't chase, deactivating the Kyuubi's One Tail Cloak, he noticed that Haku was gasping slightly, not moving even slightly ''Haku, are you ok?' the blonde teenager asked.

''Y-Yeah, I-I'm just... overwhelmed.'' Haku said as he gasped even more, inside Naruto's mind, Kurama said 'Kit, he's overwhelmed by the combined murderous intent from both you and the Snake Weirdo, also, why did you let him escape? If you used the Three Tails Cloak, killing him was actually possible.'

'Hmm, I just felt disgusted by him so I didn't chase him, besides, I feel something interesting will happen if I let him run away.' Naruto said, he could clearly feel that it wasn't Orochimaru full strength, if he wanted, activating the Three-Tails Cloak would give him an incredible boost in strength and would allow him to overwhelm the Snake Weirdo.

His current limit was using the Five Tails Cloak and even with that, it took a big burden on his body, not because it is weak or something, rather because he's still underdeveloped, his 12 year old body isn't developed well enough to take the backslash of using anything higher than Five Tails Cloak.

Kurama had also told him that his Tailed Beast Cloak is different, the Nine Tails Cloak is different from the rest but for that, it would wait for him to become 15 year old, where his body would be developed enough for it.

''Let's go back to Sasuke and Sakura, Haku, from the sound of it, they've probably finished with the huge Snake.'' Naruto said towards the long-haired, slightly feminine teenager, that nodded, ignoring the huge pit left on the ground due to Naruto's punch, they disappeared from the spot.

Flickering through the tree branches, they appeared within the area Sasuke and Sakura fought against the Snake and saw the Snake, that was now cut in four parts, the duo had quite a few injuries over their body, Sakura having a bloodied hole on her shoulder and Sasuke one on his leg.

They were sitting on the ground while gasping ever so slightly, approaching them, Naruto said ''Quite a rough battle, eh?''

''...''

''It was a joke, anyway, bite my arm, it'll help to heal your wounds...'' Naruto said after noticing their silence before saying to Kurama 'Hey, Kuu-san, can you use a bit of your Yang Chakra to help them with the healing alongside my Uzumaki's vitality?'

'Tch, asking me to do such work, damn brat! Fine.' The fluffy Fox complained even though he ended up agreeing to it anyways 'So tsundere...' Naruto thought to himself.

They did as Naruto said and after a few minutes passed, their wound was almost completely healed, as such, both were utterly shocked ''If you had the ability to do this, why did you use it only now?!'' Sasuke, that is Naruto's best friends, asked without care.

Scratching the back of his head, Naruto said ''Because I didn't want to.''

'Makes sense, typical of Naruto!' Sasuke thought while laughing slightly, then, he asked ''So, why did you disappear back then?''

''Oh, it's just that I tracked down a Scroll of Earth, we can go to the next part already. What? Don't look at me like that, I just tracked it through a Technique I developed, I didn't cheat or anything.'' Naruto said before justifying himself under the judging stare of his best friend.

'Actually, I used my Space-Time Manipulation to track it down but this counts as my own ability, heh.' Naruto thought smugly under the speechless gaze of Sakura and Sasuke.

''Why didn't you say that from the beginning? If you did so, we could've hid within a cave and waited for you without needing to fight that damn Snake!'' Sakura said, shooting out all of the acc.u.mulated annoyance in her body, however, Naruto ignored her and touched Sasuke's shoulder, the black-haired teenager then touched the shoulder of Haku and Sakura.

Through his Space and Mind Eye Perception, Naruto had already found the tower, as such, he threw a Hiraishin no Jutsu Kunai there, he could teleport with it, after all. [2]

His Teammates already know of his Hiraishin because he didn't need to hide it anymore, his real trump card was his Space-Time Manipulation, then, the four of them entered the tower, just to be greeted by Iruka, that appeared from the scroll and started explaining a lot of things, ignoring all of it, his ears just picked the last part.

Scratching the back of his head, Iruka said ''Your Team has broken all of the previous records by completing the second phase and has arrived in just half an hour, because of that, you'll need to wait in an allocated room till the time is up, all of the necessary things will be given to you in the meantime!''

Without further warning, he disappeared in a puff of smoke, looking at each other, the Team Kakashi shrugged their shoulders before going to their allocated room, waiting for everyone.

[1] I can feel some of you will probably complain that Orochimaru was originally disguised as a Kusagakure Genin, however, I changed it to Takigakure for the sake of my plot development!

[2] Space and Mind Eye Perception is the name Naruto gave to the fused version of his Space Perception and Kagura's Mind Eye.
