Flee on SightAN: Warning! Warning! This is a God-like Naruto story, if you do not like stories like this, than please stop here! This story is purely for my own pleasure of having Naruto stomping mud holes in people and walking them dry.

After Arashi received his application for the chunin exams he decided to walk around the village for a while until his weekly dinner at the Sarutobi compound. It was something he had been doing since his return to the village.

He was walking aimlessly through the village when a whimpering sound brought him out of his thoughts. Stopping in his tracks and looking around he realized that he had wandered into some unknown training grounds and the whimpers were coming from a forested area behind a bunch of marked up trees probably used as targets for weapons throwing.

Following the sound he came upon a mostly all black puppy with a strip of white around its neck that looked like a collar. The puppy upon seeing him bared its fangs and got a feral look in its now noticeable all white eyes, it tried to stand up to defend itself from a possible enemy but let out a yelp and collapsed back to the ground.

"Shh… shh… easy fella I'm not going to hurt you, just relax" Arashi said in a soothing voice. Getting closer to the pup, Arashi saw why he couldn't stand up as he saw a shuriken stuck in the right hind leg of the animal. "Alright fella looks like you got a little trouble there" Arashi said still keeping to a calm tone.

Arashi inched closer so as not to startle the animal and went down on a knee beside the it. Moving his hand slowly towards the shuriken, Arashi was about to take a hold of it and pull it out when the little animal snapped his jaws at his fingers. Arashi pulled his hand back quickly and counted them to make sure he still had all his digits. Arashi looked into the white eyes of the black dog with a small glare.

"Look nobody likes pain unless you're some kind of masochist but I have to remove this and bandage it or you're not going to heal properly. Now let's try this again I'm going to count to 3 and then I'm going to pull it out so think of a happy place and grit your teeth cause it's going to happen"

Looking into the dogs eyes and receiving what he could only interpret as a nod of agreement Arashi started the countdown "1…2…3!" on three quick as a snake strike Arashi yanked the shuriken out getting a small yelp from the pup. Staunching the blood with some gauze from his vest pocket Arashi applied a quick field dressing to the wound "This will do for now, best get you to a real doctor though" saying that he picked the dog up and disappeared in a swirl of leaves to the local vets office.

Arashi reappeared outside of a medium sized white building with a wooden shingle hanging over the door that said 'Konoha's Veterinarian Services'. It was located more in the civilian side of the village for their convenience since civilians rarely had a reason to wander in the shinobi section. Walking into the building with the little dog cradled in his arms Arashi made his way to the empty front desk of the office. Not seeing anyone around he rang the little bell on the desk for service. "Hello? Got a patient for you! Is there a doctor in the house?"

Still not getting a response Arashi walked over to a door with a sign that said 'Employees Only' that lead further into the building opening the door he was met by the sound of barking and chirping so loud he was surprised he hadn't ruptured his eardrums, wincing at the noise he quickly shut the door. "They must have some kind of sound barrier set up. You must feel worst then I do with your hearing." Arashi said looking down at the dog in his arms. "Arf! Arf! Arf!"

"Alright, no need for that type of language. Brace yourself we're going back in" Arashi went back to the door and took a moment to brace himself for the noise before he opened the door and went in. He made his way down the lit up corridor peeking into each room as he went, most were examination rooms and a couple of supply closets. He was near the end of the hall when he looked into one room and stopped dead in his tracks at an amazing sight.

It was one of the most perfectly heart shaped asses he had ever laid eyes on. All he could see, all he was really looking at was that perfect ass in tight gray biker shorts, the other half of this person was inside a dog cage apparently cleaning it out. Arashi was taking in every detail when a bite on the arm from the dog he was carrying brought him out of his dream world.

"Ahem! Excuse I need some help here" he said

The person in the cage jumped at the sound of him clearing his throat and quickly backed out of the cage stood up and turned around. Arashi was once again stunned speechless for a moment. This woman was obviously an Inuzuka by the tell- tale red fang marks on her cheeks. Long brown hair held up in a ponytail with two bangs hanging down the front, round dark eyes set in the soft features of her face was remarkably beautiful, she was also wearing a black wife beater that did nothing to hide her generous c-cup breast.

"Shiro-kun!" the lady exclaimed darting forward and taking the puppy from Arashi's arms. "Oh ,Shiro-kun where have you been you poor little baby?" Arashi was completely ignored as the Inuzuka women took the pup apparently named Shiro into one of the exam rooms down the hall. Not knowing what else to do Arashi followed them to the room with enough time to catch the women consoling the injured animal.

"Does somebody have an owwie, don't worry Hana's going to fix that right up for you" the now named Hana was saying as she unwrapped the field dressing and took a good look at the wound.

"So is Shiro going to be okay?" Arashi asked

"He's going to be fine, what happened?" Hana asked the stranger.

"I was just walking around when I heard him whimpering, I found him in the woods behind some training grounds with a shuriken stuck in him. I dressed the wound and brought him here" Arashi explained. "So his name is Shiro huh?"

"It's actually Shiromaru he's a member of the Inuzuka clan and I believe we're in your debt for finding him. If left too long this wound might have been infected. Who may I tell my clan head we are indebted to?"

Arashi approached the examination table where Hana was putting the finishing touches on a new bandage for Shiromaru "My name is Arashi and from what I have gleaned from you, you are Hana Inuzuka, it's a pleasure to meet you"

Hana finished her bandage on Shiro and then took a good look at her guest. He was about 6' tall blond hair, blue eyes and indeterminate age because of the facemask. He stood tall and proud without a hint of arrogance in his posture. Hana felt a tingle go up her spine as a single word went through her mind as she looked at this man Arashi /'ALPHA'/.

"It's nice to meet you as well Arashi. Thank you again for finding and helping Shiro-kun, he's the most curious pup at the compound always wandering off somewhere" Hana said rubbing the black ears of the now sleeping animal.

"I think as long as he stays clear of the training grounds he should do okay. I have to be going Hana, I hope to see you around some time, we can talk about working off that debt" Arashi said eye smiling as he left the room.

Hana felt the tingle along her spine even more at the hidden meaning in those words "Anytime Arashi anytime"

(Later Sarutobi Compound)

Dinner at the Sarutobi compound is always a small family affair when Hiruzens schedule allowed it. At the small circular table right now were Arashi, Asuma, Konohamaru and Hiruzen. They were talking about a bunch of non -important things at the moment the serious talk was reserved for after dinner when Konohamaru was out of the room. They were finishing up the meal when the subject of Arashis first dinner at the Sarutobi compound came up.

(Flashback about six months ago)

It was a couple of days after Arashi had returned to the village when he was invited to the Sarutobi compound for dinner. He was walking next to the Hokage the long way towards the compound. Sarutobi always liked to take a walk through the village after a long day it helped to relieve the stress of wearing the hat and reminding him of why he took it in the first place. As they approached the front door Sarutobi paused to give his dinner guest a word of caution.

"I have to warn you my Grandson Konohamaru can be a little hyper at times. Try to be a little patient with him if it gets to be too much" Sarutobi said before opening the door.

Arashi followed right behind him and took a good look at the inside of the home. The front door opened into a hallway, about fifteen feet from the door was an archway that lead into a sitting area and Arashi could see a set of stairs further along the hallway leading up. Sarutobi paused in the archway to announce his presence "Konohamaru I'm home!" as soon as the words were out of his mouth smoke bombs filled the sitting area.

Jumping in front of the Hokage Arashi prepared to defend him from the surprise attack. Arashi focused his senses on the would be attacker or attackers. Hearing a whistle through the air Arashi shot his hand out and grabbed the air borne weapons. Feeling something off with them he took a quick glance and was puzzled by the weapons 'wooden shurikens, what the hell?' he focused back on his attacker when he heard a very childish voice shout "I got you this time Old Man!" Arashi focused on where the voice came from and saw a hazy figure in the still lingering smoke. Leaf Hurricane! When the figure who could only be the Hokages grandson Konohamaru jumped in the air to perform the attack, Arashi darted into the smoke.

As Arashi went into the smoke the Hokage performed a small wind jutsu to clear the room. When it was clear enough to see, he saw his grandson hanging upside down from his ankle by Arashi who was scratching his head with the wooden shuriken he confiscated from Konohamaru.

"So, I take it this is, Konohamaru, nice to meet you, I'm Arashi" Arashi said eye smiling at the upside down child.

Konohamaru sweat dropped at the nonchalant greeting "Put me down you idiot don't you know who I am?" Konohamaru screamed "Oof!" was the sound Konohamaru made as he was dropped on his head.

"Yeah I know who you are and as a member of the Sarutobi Clan you should have better manners than to scream at a guest in your home" Arashi pointed out mildly.

Hiruzen decided to step in before Konohamaru completely blew his top "Konohamaru go and wash up for dinner Arashi will be our guest tonight"

Konohamru blinked dumbly at his Grandpa before switching back to the masked shinobi while still rubbing his head. "Alright Gramps" he said before getting to his feet and leaving the room.

"Hyper isn't the right word to describe him, I would say he's more lively than hyper" Arashi said

"Aren't they the same thing?" Hiruzen asked curiously

Arashi shook his head no "One sounds like an affliction and the other sounds like a compliment"

Hiruzen decided to keep quiet on the subject and lead the young man into the dining area beyond the sitting room. It was a simple family setting, a small round table with four chairs around it. Dinner was also very simple grilled beef, rice, veggies and soup. Konohamaru came into the room and everyone took their seats and tucked into the meal. It was quiet for a few minutes before the Hokage broke the silence. "So Konohamaru how was your training today?"

"Boring ,all sensei did was talk the whole time, not once did he show us any cool jutsu. Even Ebisu sensei refused to show me any cool jutsu he said I had to master the basics first" Konohamaru said in a dejected tone.

"He's right you know without the basics you have nothing to build on. All the greatest ninja you could name were masters of basic jutsus and using their knowledge of the basics and built on them to make the best use of them" Arashi interjected.

"What would you know blondie?" Konohanaru said as he glared at across the table at the masked guest.

"I was trained by four men who could actually call themselves true masters of the shinobi arts and they drilled into me daily that to be great is to master the basics." Arashi explained "For example if someone gave you a sword tomorrow do you think just having that sword makes you a master swordsman?" he asked

Before Konohamaru could answer Arashi asked him another question "What's your dream Konohamaru, what's your goal as a ninja?"

"My goal is to defeat the Old Man and become Hokage! Ebisu sensei says with his training I'll take the shortcut to brcoming Hokage." Konohamaru exclaimed with fire in his eyes.

Arashi looked across the table at the young boy with calm eyes "First I think this Ebisu guy should be tarred and feathered and hung up naked by his ankles in the middle of the village for telling you something so stupid as to think there is some kind of short cut to the respect and power a Kage wields" Arashi said calmly "There is no such thing as a short cut to power, no amount of cool jutsu will make you Kage material. It takes a certain mental and spiritual fortitude to be a Kage. Can you imagine day after day, month after month, year after year the kind of conviction it takes to send people you've grown up with and people you've seen grow from babies to young men and women and send them out to defend the village knowing there's a possibility you will never see them again?"

Konohamaru was speechless as he listened to Arashi speak. He couldn't imagine sending Udon and Moegi out on some mission and then finding out that they had been killed he could never forgive himself if that happened. "Is that true Gramps?"

"Yes it is, being Hokage is more than being recognized as the strongest in the village. Being Hokage is asking yourself are you mentally strong enough to do what is best for the village" the Hokage said.

Konohamaru sat there in silence for a few minutes "Can I be excused?" receiving a nod from his Grandpa, he went to his bedroom to think about if he really wanted to be Hokage after all.

"Sorry about that Jiji, I didn't mean to hit him with the reality of wearing the Hat like that" Arashi said.

"That's okay Naruto-kun, I was going to explain it to him eventually, maybe I was just scared of this type of reaction and my Grandson hating me for taking away his dream" Hiruzen said sadly. "That speech sounded like the one Tobirama sensei gave me at one point when he was grooming me as Hokage"

"Yeah that's where I got it from. I got a tad bit over confident during my training sometimes. One time I claimed that as soon as I was done training I would come back here and challenge you for the Hokage title. Tobirama sensei sat me down and explained in great detail the responsibilities that come with the job" Arashi said ruefully

"Is your dream still to be Hokage?" Hiruzen asked curiously

"No, I haven't decided on a dream yet, I'll just follow the road of life and see where it takes me" he said eye smiling. "Do you mind if I go up and speak to Konohamaru?" he asked

Hiruzen shook his head no "Upstairs second door on the right"

Rising from his chair Arashi made his to the kid's room. Looking through the open door he saw Konohamaru sitting on the edge of his bed looking miserable. Knocking on the door frame to get his attention he waited for the kid to look at him "Hey Konohamaru you mind if I come in?"

"Sure" He said scooting over to make room for the blonde.

"Why do you want to become Hokage?" Arashi asked

"My name is Konohamaru, I was named after the village but no one calls me Konohamaru, people always call me Honorable Grandson. I'm not ashamed to be the Grandson of the Hokage but I just wish people would call me by my name for a change. If I was Hokage then people would see more than the Honorable Grandson of the Third Hokage. After what you said earlier it seems like a pretty selfish reason to be Hokage"

"Wanting people to know your name is not selfish at all. But there are other ways to do it besides being Hokage"

Konohamaru looked at Arashi with a confused expression "What other ways?"

"How about becoming a Sannin, they're just like Kages but better"

"How can they be better than a Kage? You're just trying to mess with me" Konohamaru said glaring at the blonde.

"No I'm not, think about it. The Sannin are said to be just as strong the Kages throughout the Elemental Nations, they're free to come and go from the village whenever they want, which means they have opportunities to always learn something new. Can you imagine the stories the Toad Sage or the Slug Princess could tell you about their travels. Now the Hokage he's always stuck in boring meetings with the council or stuck doing boring paper work. He barely as time to train and don't even think about getting laid let alone dating someone where would you find the time?" Arashi paused there because of the puzzled look on Konohamarus face.

"Why do you mean getting laid, getting laid where?"

"Ahem, ask your Grandfather after I leave. I heard from an older shinobi who was around when the Hokage first took office he said after a week he was completely gray from doing all the paper work involved with being Hoakge" Konohamaru look scared out of his wits at the thought of going gray "the point is there are other ways to be recognized besides being Hokage"

"Your right Arashi-san, I Konohamaru Sarutobi will be the first ever Monkey Sage of Konoha!" Konohamaru yelled with a renewed fire in his eyes.

"Good for you Kon, I look forward to facing you one day" Arashi said eye smiling.

"You can count on it, don't think I forgot how you defeated me earlier from now on we're rivals!"

Unknown to both Konohamaru and Arashi, Hiruzen had listened in on their talk and though he perked up when Konohamaru declared he would be The first Monkey Sage he stilled walked away with a storm cloud over his head after hearing Arashis accurate description of his everyday life 'I wasn't gray in a week, I was gray in 3 days, it took me a week just to finish the first round of paperwork' Hiruzen thought as he went back to the dinner table.

(Flashback End)

After dinner Konohamaru went to his room to study before bed while the other three went out to the back porch for self –indulgence, a cigarette and pipe for the Sarutobis and sake for Naruto. They were all content with the silence as each man indulged his own guilty pleasure, but they all new that starting tomorrow was the beginning of something they had been preparing for, for six months, the invasion.

"Naruto there is another reason I invited you to dinner tonight besides the fact that I like your company. Before the start of the third round of the chunin exams I want to announce your return to the village as well as your lineage. What do you think about that?" Hiruzen said looking at the young shinobi calmly sipping his sake.

Naruto was calm both on the inside and outside "It's fine with me, I was going to bring the subject up myself pretty soon. I already have plans in place if the council tries to give me a hard time but what about you, keeping a secret like this from the council for six months might get the Hat taken away for good this time."

"I've been playing politics with these people for a long time I'm not worried about that. I am however worried about their reaction towards you"

"Don't be Jiji, I was taught politics from the best and I can use the law like I can use a kunai so don't worry yourself sick. I better be going, long day tomorrow" Naruto drained the rest of his sake and bowing to both Asuma and Hiruzen left in a swirl of leaves.

"We both better get some rest Pops, he's right tomorrow is going to be a long day" Asuma said before finishing his cigarette and using a small fire jutsu to incinerate the butt before going inside.

Hiruzen followed behind his son, thinking about what the future would hold for the Village Hidden in the Leaves.

(The Next Day)

Arashi was waiting at the front gates for his teammates to arrive, he had been there for almost a half hour waiting on them. He barely slept the night before because of the excitement of facing what he hoped to be strong opponents. Today he was wearing green tiger striped camouflage pants with matte black shin guards and black shinobi sandals. He was also wearing a sleeveless mesh shirt with a plain black sleeveless t-shirt over top of it. His arms were wrapped from wrist to elbow in black athletic tape leaving his biceps exposed. He had his fingerless black gloves with the storage seals on the palm shuriken on the left and kunais on the right. He was wearing a collarless flak jacket that matched his pants and he was also wearing two hip pouches on the left and right side. He took out his cornrows and just put his hair in a simple ponytail with his headband still across his forehead.

"You're early"

Arashi looked to his left and saw his teammate for the exams Sasuke Uchiha approach at a casual pace.

"Can't you feel the excitement Sasuke? Better early than too late, now all we need is Sakura and we can get to moving"

"Here she comes" Sasuke said gesturing in the opposite direction he had come.

Arashi turned to look and sure enough there was the pink haired kunoichi.

"Hey Sakura you ready for this?" Arashi asked as she approached.

"As ready as I'll ever be Arashi-san, good morning Sasuke-kun" Sakura replied

"Hn" was the response reserved for fan girls.

"Since we're all here let's do it" Arashi said walking through the gate with his teammates following behind him. Team 7 made their way in silence until they came up on a scene in the middle of the hallway. The door leading to the exam room was be barred by two guys one had spiky hair and three bandages on his lower face and the other had brown hair and a blue bandana style headband on, they were knocking around a guy in green spandex with a bowl cut and a girl in a pink Chinese shirt with her hair styled in two buns.

"Just let us through! We have to take the exam" the girl said.

"You think you're ready to be chunin, come back when you grow up people die in these things" the one in the blue bandana said.

"Why don't you drop the genjutsu and stop cluttering the hall, we have an exam to take" Sasuke said.

Arashi refused to face fault at the stupid arrogance of the Uchiha. 'If he knew why did he open his mouth?'

"You saw through that genjutsu didn't you Sakura?" Sasuke asked the pinkette.

"Of course I did Sasuke-kun, it was obvious" Sakura said.

Arashi barely restrained himself from face faulting at that obvious lie.

"Why don't you make me move punk?" the one with the spiky hair said before launching a kick at Sasuke who threw a kick himself. Before either one could connect the boy in the green spandex appeared in between them and caught both attacks.

'He's fast and strong.' Arashi thought

"Why don't you both save it for the exams? That is where the best will be determined." The bowl cut guy said.

Sasuke and the spiky haired stranber broke apart and regrouped before the spiky hair guy and his friend took off down the hall out of sight.

"Way to go Lee, it was your idea to hide our strength, remember?" the person who spoke was obviously of the Hyuga clan with the trade mark white eyes, he was wearing a black headband with two straps hanging from the sides and a khaki shirt and brown pants with his right arm and leg wrapped in athletic tape.

"I'm sorry Neji, Tenten, I forgot my own plan just that quickly" the now named Lee said by way of apology.

"Forget about it Lee" the girl Tenten said.

"That plan wouldn't have lasted long anyway" Neji said coming to stand next to his teammates and taking a good look at the other genin team. His eyes wandered over both Sasuke and Sakura before dismissing them both before his eyes rested on the blonde shinobi "What's your name?" Neji demanded

Arashi completely ignored the pale eyed teenager and approached his lovely teammate. "My name is Arashi may I have the honor of knowing yours?" he said

Tenten was stunned boys didn't flirt with her. They treated her like one of the guys, most of the time they didn't even realize she was a girl "Higurashi, Tenten Higurashi, nice to meet you" she said sticking her hand to shake.

Arashi grabbed her hand and brought it to his masked lips and kissed the back of it. Tentens blush could put a red apple to shame. "That is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen on a kunoichi" he said softly

"Wha.. what are you talking about?" Tenten stammered.

"The callouses on your hands, they're beautiful, they show your dedication to training it's the most beautiful and sexiest thing ever on a kunoichi."

During Arashi and Tentens introduction Neji stood there stunned, first at being ignored and then as his teammate was turned into putty. "Hey! I asked your name"

"No you demanded my name, its Arashi by the way, being from a noble clan I could only assume they tried to teach you manners and the lessons just didn't take" Arashi said mildly

"Know your place commoner" before Neji could register that Arashi had moved he was staring eye to eye with a fly, holding the fly by the wings with his fingertips was Arashi.

"Just remember Hyuga, nobility doesn't mean a damn thing on the battlefield, only skill" Arashi said before letting the fly go. "Tenten it was a pleasure to meet you I hope to get to know you in the future" Arashi said before making his way back to his teammates and continuing down the hall towards the third floor.

They were in an open area about to climb the stairs to the third floor when they were stopped.

"Hold it right there!" the green clad genin said "You are Sasuke Uchiha right? I wish to fight you, for the love of Sakura Haruno!" the announced loudly.

Sasuke smirked at the weird bowl cut wearing genin "Sure I could use a warm up."

"We don't have time for this Sasuke" Arashi warned.

"Don't worry this won't take long" he assured his team.

"Fine but don't take him lightly it could end in embarrassment" Arashi warned.

"Doubtful" Sasuke said as he faced off with the strange genin known as Rock Lee "Even though you know who I am you still know want to fight, that takes a lot of guts"

"We will see if you are still as confident when I beat you, a fair warning, out of all the Leaf genin participating in the exams today I am the strongest and I'll prove it to you right now" Lee declared

The two opponents squared off against each other, Sasuke was in a casual stance apparently not taking the match seriously and Lee was in the opening stance of the Strong Fist style, he was turned sideways with his left arm behind his back and his right hand held out in a bring it on gesture and Sasuke decided to bring it. He sprinted forward in an effort to catch his opponent of guard and once he was in range he threw a right cross and connected with nothing as his opponent had disappeared in a display of speed, he reappeared above Sasuke already in mid turn "Leaf Hurricane!" Sasuke ducked under the round house kick and following his opponents movements held his hands in front of his face in a guard position. Rock Lee continued his rotation from the missed round house and attacked with another kick from a crouching position that went straight through Sasukes guard and nailed him in the face.

"Sasuke!" was Sakuras shout of surprise from watching Sasuke take the hit.

Sasuke was thrown backwards by the power of the kick and laid on the ground stunned for a few moments. 'What was that I know I held my guard up' Sasuke thought. 'If I had my sharingan I would take this guy apart!' Sauke went back on the attack throwing everything he could at his opponent 'Jab,jab, right hook, sweep kick!' Sasuke thought but nothing worked it was either blocked or avoided. Sasuke threw another right cross with everything he had in it but it was caught and countered with an elbow to the stomach that sent him crashing into the wall behind him.

"Sasuke Uchiha, why do you not use your sharingan? if you wish to beat me that is the only way to do so"

"I don't need the sharingan to beat you!" Sasuke snarled and charged once again.

" I believe they're two types of ninja in this world, those that are born with talent like you and those that have to train hard every day of their lives like me! I'll show you hard work beats natural talent any day of the week!" Lee proclaimed before stopping Sasukes charge with a spinning back kick to the chin that launched Sasuke into the air. Lee crouched on the ground and then vanished in a blur and reappeared beneath Sasukes still floating body "Dancing Leaf Shadow!" "Now you're finished!" Lee said as the bandages around his arm began to unravel, before they unraveled too much a pinwheel pinned the end of the loose wrappings into the wall surprising all those in the room.

"That's enough Lee!" a large red tortoise said.

"Oh no this is bad" Lee said throwing his body into a backflip to land on the ground in a crouching position before sprinting to kneel in front of the talking animal. Sasuke too stunned by the events that just transpired was saved from further injury when Sakura broke his fall.

Arashi joined his two teammates as he watched the animal tear into the green glad genin.

"What were you thinking Lee? You're forbidden from using that technique especially on a fellow Leaf shinobi, you know that!"

"I wasn't going to use it, I just got caught up in the fight that's all, honest" Lee said trying to defend himself.

"Silence! You think a lame excuse like that is going to fly. A shinobi never reveals his techniques unless absolutely necessary and from watching this fight, it was completely uncalled for, that's such a basic rule it should be tattooed on your brain. Now stand and prepare to take the punishment for your actions"

"Yes sir" Lee said resigned to his fate.

"Come on out Guy sensei!" in a puff of smoke a man appeared on the turtles back, he was very tall and he was wearing a matching outfit to Lee's except no hand wraps and he was wearing an unzipped jonin flak jacket, he even matched Lee's bowl haircut and had way thicker eye brows "Hey there guys and gals what's shaking?" Guy sensei said standing proud with his hands on his hips and beaming a pearly white smile to all those in the room.

He didn't get an answer as Team 7 was busy sweat dropping at the appearance of the original that Lee was cloned after. The silence didn't last long as Guy sensei scolded his wayward student.

"I'm very disappointed in you Lee, are you ready for your punishment?"

"Yes Guy sensei"

"Okay!, You little idiot!" Guy yelled as he punched Lee in the face and sent him skidding along the floor. When he stopped moving Guy approached his downed student at looked at him with a river flowing from each eye. Lee looked at his sensei with the same expression on his face.

"Sensei I'm so sorry!"

"It's okay Lee, I forgive you! Your youthful exploits are all a part of growing up"

(A/N Brace yourselves people here it comes)

"GUY SENSEI!"

"LEE!"

"GUY SENSEI!"

"LEE!"

"GUY SENSEI!"

"LEE!"

"Something bad is about to happen turn away quick!" Arashi said but it was too late for his teammates. They were forced to witness the most exuberant man hug known to the world, complete with a sunset and crashing waves as a back drop.

"Now Lee give me 100 laps around the practice field as further punishment for disobeying orders"

"Yes sir, Guy sensei!"

"Wait what about the chunin exams? There's no time for laps right now" Sakura said.

"Oh I forgot about that, make that 500 hundred laps for also disrupting the chunin exams!" Guy said .

"Yes Guy sensei!"

"Ah Lee! I'm proud to be your sensei your flames of youth are inspiring" Guy said to his student with pride before finally taking notice of the other 3 people in the room. 'That has to be Kakashi's squad' Guy thought to himself. "Hey how's my old rival Kakashi doing?"

"You know Kakashi sensei?" Sakura asked

"Sure do! We're eternal rivals, have been for years" Guy stated before simply disappearing "my record is 50 wins and 49 losses which is one better than Kakashi" he finished saying from behind team seven. "The facts of the matter is I'm stronger than Kakashi, faster too"

'Whoa that was all speed, he didn't even use chakra to help him' Arashi thought.

'He's definitely faster than Kakashi' Sasuke thought.

"Guy sensei is the greatest shinobi in the world no one can defeat him!" Lee exclaimed after his senseis great show of speed.

"Enough Lee, you all better get going before it's too late. Good luck Lee! Show the world your flames of youth my precious student!"

"Yes Guy sensei! I will!"

"Well ah… Guy sensei ,it was nice meeting you. Lee how about after these exams we have a friendly spar. I'm a student of hard work myself, I would like to know which one of us has worked the hardest, my name's Arashi by the way" Arashi said to Rock Lee.

"I would be honored to battle a fellow student of hard work Arashi-san!"

"Good, than it's a deal, after the exams" Arashi said before making his way to the stairs and up to the third floor followed by the rest of the team.

"I can't believe I loss to that freak! If I had the sharingan I would've wiped the floor with him" Sasuke growled out between clenched teeth.

"Not likely Sasuke" Arashi said calmly.

"Who asked you?"

"Didn't you see the scars on his hands when he took the wraps off? Some of those scars were fresh, I wouldn't be surprised if he was out training this very morning. He probably trains until he drops every day and even with the sharingan you would have trouble" Arashi explained.

"Hn whatever" was the Uchihas response.

As they rounded the corner they stopped in surprise to see Kakashi leaning against the wall next to the door leading to the exam room.

"Kakashi sensei what are you doing here?" Sakura asked

"I'm here to wish you all good luck in the exams, I was also here to stop you if you showed up without the full team"

"I thought you said the exams were optional" Sakura said.

"They are optional as a team, I didn't want anyone pressured into participating before they were ready, but since you all showed up on your own it doesn't matter anymore. Beyond this door is another step towards your future goals, good luck" Kakashi said before disappearing in a cloud of smoke.

"Well lets go this exam isn't going to take itself" Arashi said kicking the door in and striding through. As soon as he entered he was blasted with Killing intent strong enough to make a fly faint, this was nothing compared to the killing intent he felt from people like Zabuza or his own senseis. He glanced out the side of his eyes to see how Sasuke and Sakura were doing. Sasuke was shrugging it off with no effort but Sakura was already shaking in her sandals. "Remember what I said back in Wave about killing intent Sakura"

Sakura looked into Arashis calm blue eyes and remembered what he said back in Wave about using your own intent to offset someone else's. Taking a moment to calm herself she was about to think of something that would piss her off enough to shake off this killing intent when the answered landed in her lap or more precisely on Sasukes back.

"Oh Sasuke-kun I've missed you so much! Being apart for so long has been dreadful" Ino Yamanaka, Sakuras old friend and new rival said from Sasukes back. The killing intent was completely forgotten as she saw this. "Back off Ino pig Sasuke's mine!"

"Well if it isn't miss forehead they let anyone into these exams apparently" Ino said in a haughty tone.

"They let pigs in here don't they!"

"What did you say billboard brow?" Ino demanded glaring into Sakuras eyes

"You heard me!" Sakura said glaring right back.

"Do you two have to be so loud and troublesome all the time?" a lazy voice said interrupting the screaming match.

"Mind your business slacker!" Ino snapped.

"It is my business, your screaming match is bringing a lot of unwanted attention" the slacker pointed out. Ino and Sakura looked at the other participants in the room and sure enough all eyes were on them, and they didn't look to happy. Once Sakura stopped arguing with Ino the killing intent came back seemingly stronger than before. Ino was also feeling the effects.

Arashi, tired of the minuscule killing intent approached the top of the stairs and looked out at the other participants "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU LOOKING AT?" Arashi screamed and unleashed a killing intent that flooded the entire room. While most of the aspiring chunin were paralyzed the truly weak ones collapsed under the weight of the killing intent.

Arashi cut the flow of killing intent and went back to his team. When Arashi returned he saw that 3 more people and a dog had joined the cluster of chunin candidates. One was an Inuzuka male, a female Hyuga and the last guy could have been anyone, the only thing that could be seen was spiky brown hair and sunglasses.

"Who the hell are you? That was unreal?" the Inuzuka said.

"I'm Arashi the new member of Team 7 and that was very real" he said calmly.

"What happened to the other guy?" the slacker from before asked.

Team 7 answered in one word "Tora" that was all that needed to be said.

"That was some display back there, you might want to tone it down though" a smooth voice said from behind Arashi. He turned around to come face to face with a silver haired shinobi in glasses.

"What's it matter to you how I act?" Arashi said 'Something about this guy is raising the hair on the back of my neck'

"Just thought to pass on some advice to a fellow leaf genin, I've been in these exams before and they're not easy. I'm Kabuto Yakushi"

"How many times have you taken the exams Kabuto-san?" Sakura asked

"This is my seventh time" Kabuto said smiling sheepishly.

"That doesn't bode well for the rest us then" the sill unnamed slacker said.

"It has given me a chance to gather information on certain villages and every year I come closer to reaching chunin. These are my info cards" Kabuto said taking out a deck of cards from his hip pouch "with these I have info on just about every participant in the exams"

"How do they work?" Sasuke asked interested in trying to find a weakness on certain people.

"Well its simple really, the cards respond to my chakra once I channel chakra into them all the information on the card becomes visible"

"And you have information on everyone participating in the exams?" Sasuke asked.

"Everyone" Kabuto confirmed.

"How about, Rock Lee of the Hidden Leaf, Gaara of the Desert and Arashi of the Hidden Leaf?"

"You already know their names, too easy" Kabuto said before taking out three cards and laid them out on the floor in front of him.

"Let's see first up Rock Lee, he's a genin of the Hidden Leaf and a member of Team 9. His teammates are Tenten Higurashi and Neji Hyuga they are students under jonin Might Guy. He's been a genin for a year and this is his first time in the chunin exams. As a member of Team 9 he's completed 37 D-rank missions, 12 C-ranks and 1 joint B-rank. According to his stats he has exceptional taijutsu and very below average ninjutsu and genjutsu" After he finished reading off the info card he placed it back in his deck.

"Now Gaara of the Desert, he's a genin of the Hidden Sand not a lot on him accept that this is his first chunin exam, he has completed 10 D-rank missions, 20 C-ranks and 3 B-ranks as a special note it says he completed every mission without so much as a scratch" Kabuto said in an awed tone.

"Lastly is Arashi of the Hidden Leaf, well this is surprising, it says that Arashi only recently joined the Hidden Leaf six months ago and in that time has done 30 solo D- rank missions before joining Team 7 on a C-rank turned B-rank mission. His teammates are Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno, they are students under Kakashi Hatake. As a special note it says that Arashi was a bounty hunter before joining the village" Kabuto paused there with a look of concentration as if trying to remember something. "Wait Arashi the bounty hunter?" he asked spinning around to face Arashi who had been reading over his shoulder "I've heard of you, you're on the Land of Fires Watch List. I have a copy right here" he said reaching into his hip pouch and feeling around for the book he was looking for.

"Hey Shikamaru what's a 'Watch List'?" he heard Ino ask the one she had called a slacker earlier.

"Well you know how each village has a Bingo Book?" he asked. After receiving a nod of understanding he continued his explanation "Well a Watch List is the same thing only it's available to everyone not just shinobi like a Bingo Book is. Most of the people on a Watch List are considered just as dangerous as trained shinobi, the only difference is they're not affiliated with a village which is why they can't go into a Bingo Book or be labeled a missing ninja" Shikamaru said and for once looking wide awake.

"I found it, alright here we are, Arashi also known as The Perfect Storm because he has never failed to turn in a bounty. He has turned in 42 D-rank bounties, 54 C-ranks, 22 B-ranks and 13 A-ranks. His skills remain unknown except for being extremely fast and proficient in taijutsu. Apparently no one has ever lived to say what kind of ninjutsu or genjutsu abilities he has." Kabuto just looked wide eyed at Arashi who returned the look with a disinterested look of his own.

'Who the hell is this guy?' Was the thought on most of the rookie's minds once this information was revealed.

All thoughts of Arashi were replaced by an explosion of smoke at the front of the classroom "Alright you maggots enough grab assing" a deep voice said from the smoke. When the smoke cleared a tall imposing figure in a black trench coat was standing in front of a group of Konoha shinobi, he like the rest of them was wearing a gray outfit and he had a blue bandana headband on "I'm Ibiki Morino proctor for your first test, line up, turn in your applications, take a number and sit in your assigned seat the test is about to begin"

'About damn time!' was Arashi's thought as he made his way to the front to turn in his application.

(With the Rookie Senseis)

"They should be just about to begin the first portion of the exams how do you think they will do?" Kurenai asked.

"Before I found out who was the proctor for the exam I would say they had a fair chance, now I'm not so sure" Kakashi said looking up from his favorite book.

"Why? Who's the examiner?" she asked

"Ibiki Morino, with a sadist like that I charge their chances have dropped significantly"

"Who's Ibiki Morino?"

"I forgot that you're only a recently promoted jonin Kurenai so you wouldn't know who Ibiki was just yet. Ibiki is the head of the Torture and Interrogation department and one hell of a scary guy on top of that" Asuma said for once enjoying a cigarette without being glared at by his own students.

"What Why would the Hokage put someone like that in charge?" Kurenai said worried for her students.

"Relax Kurenai, he won't touch them, he doesn't have to. Ibiki's style of interrogation is more mental than physical. I just hope these kids are mentally ready, Ibiki has been known to break people down into sobbing messes with only a few words" Kakashi said before going back to his book and ending the discussion.

(Back in the Exam Room)

Arashi was now seated at the front of the room with the Hyuga girl who introduced herself as Hinata through a bit of stuttering seated on his right and a genin from Sand on his left. After looking at the test he knew even though the questions were hard he could answer them without any problems and after hearing how the point system was set up and the rules if caught cheating, he knew that the purpose of the test was information gathering. So he just tuned out the rest of the speech and thought back to some inconsistencies about that Leaf genin Kabuto.

'There is something seriously off about that guy. There is no way he could gather that kind of information just by participating in other exams. Besides he said this was Gaara's and Lee's first exam so he shouldn't have any info on them, I know for a fact that mission reports and shinobi records are for Hokage and jonin sensei eyes only. He could get away with knowing who is on Lee's team and his sensei but he shouldn't know how many missions he has been a part of or what they were ranked. The most disturbing thing about him though is he smells of snakes, not just any snakes, snake summons. They're only two people I'm aware of that should smell like snake summons so either Anko or Orochimaru is getting up close and personal with this guy on a regular basis. I have to talk to the Old Man asap'

Arashi was brought out of his thoughts by a black gloved fist slamming down on the desk in front of him and a scarred face almost nose to nose with him "I'm sorry, did you say something?" Arashi said.

The entire room face planted at the casual response to Ibikis scare tactic ,except for one person. Rock Lee had a blazing inferno in his eyes when he heard that response 'Guy sensei, is it possible to have more than one Eternal Rival? If it is, I have second rival in the hip and cool Arashi!' Lee thought

"I said 'Are you ready for the tenth question?'" Ibiki repeated himself.

"I don't see why not, bring it on Proctor-san" Arashi said calmly

"Are you sure? Get this last question wrong and it could destroy your shinobi career"

"If I wasn't prepared to put my career or my life on the line than I wouldn't be here, so give me your question."

Ibiki stared into the blondes eyes a moment longer trying to get him to blink first before he straightened to his full height and returned to the center of the room. He scanned the room trying to spot another target to maybe try and get these numbers down a little more. But looking out at the sea of faces all he saw was determination. "I see no one else will be leaving so those of you remaining… you all pass" he said with a smirk at the end. The response he got was what he expected.

"WHAT!"

"What are you talking about? What happened to the tenth question?" a voice in the back your asked.

"Settle down and listen, I'll explain. The first portion of the exam was meant to test two things. One as you may have already figured out was your information gather skills. The questions were designed to be impossible to answer and basically force you to cheat. Your ability to gather information on your enemy could determine the success or failure of a mission" seeing that he had every ones full attention Ibiki continued "a chunin is a mid -level shinobi who is expected to lead his own squad into combat on his own. Question ten was designed to see who amongst you actually had the guts to move forward towards a seemingly impossible goal. The ones who refused to take question ten have showed they do not have what it takes to be chunin, not now maybe not ever. Again congra-"

Before he could speak any further the window to his right exploded in a shower of glass, the reason for the broken window turned out to be a cloth ball that was unfurled to reveal a banner that said 'Second Exam Proctor the Sexy Anko Mitarashi' the sexy purple haired special jonin herself was standing in front of said banner with a wide cheesy grin. "Hello boys and girls I'm Anko Mitarashii, proctor for the second portion of the chunin exams, are you ready, good follow me!" Anko said raising her fist in the air.

"You're early Anko, again" Ibiki said stepping out from behind the banner.

"Ibiki what's with all the teams? I think you're losing your touch" Anko said smirking at her fellow interrogator.

"Maybe this is just a better crop of candidates this year."

"They don't look like much, it doesn't matter cause by the time I'm through over half will be eliminated" Anko said with a blood thirsty smirk on her face. "You creampuffs have had it easy up until now, but starting tomorrow you better be ready to kill or be killed. I'll tell your senseis where to meet me, I suggest you all do some heavy praying tonight because tomorrow you're going to need it. Dismissed!"

With that warning and dismissal the chunin hopefuls filed out of the room to prepare for day two of the exams.

(Back in the classroom)

Ibiki was collecting the test papers when he came across something interesting. It was the test paper of the blonde kid in the mask. The interesting thing about it was that it was blank except for the name Arashi at the top. "I can't believe I passed someone who didn't answer a single question, an interesting guy this Arashi" he was about to place it in the pile with the others when he noticed a slight distortion. "A genjutsu?" Releasing a burst of chakra on to the sheet of paper Ibiki's eyes narrowed as he read the message.

'Ibiki-san

I have a few concerns about the genin known as Kabuto Yakushi, earlier he displayed some information no mere genin should have. He said he has taken the exams 7 times before and that was how he came to know what he does, but I don't buy it. He has the reserves of a jonin level shinobi and if my sensing is correct he has the control of a medic nin, how the hell he's still a genin is beyond me. Most disturbing of all is he smells strongly of snake summons. I would go to the Hokage myself about my suspicions but as you know anyone participating in the exams is forbidden from communicating with their Kage unless of an emergency and having a suspicion doesn't count. Ask the Hokage what he wants me to do about him.

Arashi'

"Like I said an interesting guy this Arashi" Ibiki said to himself before disappearing in a cloud of smoke to deliver the message to the Hokage.

(The Next Day)

"Well, I'm surprised all of you showed, did you enjoy what might be your last night on earth? Good, I welcome you all to Training Ground 44 or otherwise known as The Forest of Death" Anko said smirking at the scared faces.

"That doesn't look so scary, quit trying to look tough and let's get on with this!" that ill -advised outburst came from none other than Kiba Inuzuka. As soon as he was done talking a kunai sail past his face cutting his cheek just above his clan tattoo. Before he could even register what happened there was a sickly sweet voice in his ear.

"You know it's always the dogs who bark loud that have no bite. You better watch yourself in there little Inuzuka." Anko feeling a presence coming up behind her released another kunai from her sleeve into her hand and was about to lash out when her previously thrown kunai appeared over her shoulder being held by a tongue.

"Here is your kunai back Proctor-san" the person said in a whispery voice

"Why thank you Grass-nin, but you know I wouldn't advise coming up behind me like that again unless you're suicidal" Anko said with a grin.

"My apologies I meant no offense, I guess I'm just a little anxious to get started" the Grass-nin said before moving away to rejoin her team.

"I guess everyone's a little excited this morning, let's get back on track" Anko reached into her pocket and pulled out a stack of papers "Before I explain the rules of this portion of the exams you all have to sign these waiver forms or you cannot participate" she said passing them around.

"Why do we have to sign these?" someone asked

"So that Konoha and more importantly I cannot be held accountable for your deaths and trust me there will be deaths" Once Anko received all the waiver forms she once again reached into her pocket and pulled out two scrolls, one had the kanji for heaven and the other earth "Each team will be given either a heaven or an earth scroll, your objective is to reach the tower in the center of the Forest of Death, with both scrolls and all your team members. You have five days to complete your objective"

"Five days? What are we supposed to do for food? I can't go Five days without food!" Choji cried

"You can hunt, you can fish, hell, if you get desperate enough you can eat each other, I really don't give a damn. I will give you two pieces of advice though don't open your scrolls until you have both of them in the tower and beware humans are not the top of the food chain inside Training Ground 44, Now line up get your scrolls and get to your gates!" Anko ordered.

A half hour later all the genins were at their assigned gates waiting for the word to begin. "My last warning don't die!" and with that all the gates sprang open and the chunin hopefuls sprinted forward in their ambition to achieve a higher rank.

Fifteen minutes into the second exam Team 7 stopped in a clearing to discuss strategy.

"Okay guys how do you want to do this?" Arashi asked the other two on the team.

"I say we head towards the center of the tower anyone who makes it that far will have already been in a fight and will either be injured, tired or both. Set some traps or find a nice ambush position and its over before it begins" Sasuke said laying out his plan.

"That's a solid plan Sasuke I'm for it. There's no telling what the third part of the exams are ,so it's best if we conserve our energy and strength" Arashi said

"Sasuke-kun that is an awesome plan, I can't believe you came up with that all by yourself so fast" Sakura said beaming at Sasuke.

Arashi just shook his head at her 'If this girl doesn't straighten up she's liable to get herself killed' "Here Sakura hold onto this" Arashi said handing him the heaven scroll he received earlier.

"Why give it to me?" Sakura asked surprised.

"Anyone we came across would expect either Sasuke or myself of having it. I'll be back in a second nature calls" Arashi said moving of into the trees in the shadows of the clearing. When he was sure he was alone he unfolded a piece of paper that had been passed to him when he received the heaven scroll. After reading the short message which consisted of six words

'Keep an eye on him.

Saru'

he used a small fire jutsu to destroy the paper. Arashi raised his fingers in a cross shape and seal and whispered his favorite jutsu "Shadow Clone Jutsu" an identical Arashi materialized beside him, turning to the clone he gave his orders. "Get back to the team and keep an eye on them, you have enough chakra to last for at least 3 days if you use it carefully but first take care of our guest"

"I'm on it Boss" the Arashi clone said as he turned towards the Rain shinobi who dropped his genjutsu the moment he knew he had been discovered. "I hope for your sake you have an earth scroll on you" the clone said.

The Rain ninja had a moment to regret his stupid decision to stay and spy on this particular ninja. He was there when he let of that killing intent yesterday and he heard bits and pieces of his record as a bounty hunter. Knowing these things he only had one thing to say "What the fuck was I thinking?"

The original Arashi took off in the direction of the gate he saw Kabutos team lined up at as soon as he gave his clone the order. He was hoping there would still be a decent scent to follow by the time he got there. When he arrived at the starting gate of Kabutos team he lowered his face mask slightly and channeled chakra into his nose and took a deep sniff. He had to take a moment to separate the smells. He finally picked up the one he was searching for 'Gotcha' Arashi followed Kabutos scent at a sedate pace and kept his distance, not knowing what type of skills Kabuto and his team possessed he didn't want to get too close.

Eventually Arashi got within sight of the mysterious team when they decided to take a break. Channeling chakra into his ears he tried to eaves drop as much as he could from the distance he was at. He was so far away all he got were faint whispers "Orochimaru-sama…. the Uchiha….pass the test" Arashi couldn't risk getting any closer without getting caught and he couldn't risk channeling more chakra into his ears without blowing out his eardrums.

Arashi was about to settle down to wait for Kabutos next move when he froze in surprise because his clone had been dispelled way before his time. He quickly sifted through the memories of the clone.

(Arashi clone a.k.a AC)

"I hope for your sake you have an earth scroll on you" AC said, the response he got, told him all he needed to know.

"What the fuck was I thinking?" the Rain ninja said before he felt something wet running down the front of his chest. Looking down he was surprised to see the wetness was blood, he also realized he had trouble swallowing, before he knew it he dropped to his knees and as he vision went dark the last thing he would see was his own blood staining the forest floor.

Ac wiped of the blood of the kunai he used to cut the Rain ninjas throat and resealed it back in his glove, before walking out to rejoin his teams. "Alright let's go" he said

"What took you so long?" Sakura asked

"Ran into some wildlife, let's get moving" he said and jumped into the trees. Sasuke and Saukra followed shortly after and the three traveled along tree hopping for close to an hour when a massive gust of wind separated the three. While Sasuke and Sakura were blown onto the branch of a nearby tree, AC having taking the brunt of the gust of wind was knocked a good distance away and to the forest floor. AC stood up to get his bearings when he felt hot air being blowing against his back. Turning around he came face to nostril with an enormous green snake. Taking exception to the snake's closeness he reared back and punched it in the snout "Stop steaming up my tail! What are you trying to do wrinkle it?" AC demanded

The snake was momentarily stunned by the strength of the punch before it shook it off and lunged for his target. AC evaded the snake's quick lunges in a zigzag pattern going from tree to ground. He was knocked off balance when the snake shot his tail into the ground where he was about to land and before he could regain his balance he was swallowed whole. The snake let out a satisfying hiss before retreating into the forest, before it could fully leave the clearing it just had its meal in, the snake paused with what can only be a confused expression before its head was separated from the rest of its body by a wind enhanced kunai held by AC.

"That was disgusting as well as a waste of chakra. I better get back if those two are dead the Boss is not going to be happy" AC said hopping back into the branches of the trees. He made his way towards the sounds of battle and arrived just in time to Sasuke get bitten in the neck and collapse screaming in pain "Shit! What the hell happened here?" Memorizing Sasukes and Sakuras position AC went through several handseals and called out his jutsu "Genjutsu: Infinite Darkness!" the area was blanketed in pitch black. Under the cover of the jutsu AC raced in and retrieved both of his teammates and left the area as fast as possible while carrying both. "Sakura calm down, it's me! It's hard enough carrying Sasukes dead weight I don't need you making it any more difficult" he said trying to get the struggling girl to be still.

"Arashi thank Kami you're alright. We were about to come look for you when this weird Grass ninja popped up out of nowhere. She challenged Sasuke to a fight for the scrolls but right from the start we were over powered. It was like she was toying with Sasuke the entire but at one point she got really excited about something, that's when I noticed Sasuke had red eyes, he awakened his sharingan. It wasn't long after I noticed it, that the Grass nin bit Sasuke and you arrived" By the time Sakura finished her story she was running on her own alongside Arashi.

"Okay let's find a place to rest and take care of Sasuke"

He finally found a spot to rest that was easily defendable. He set Sasuke down in the hollow of a tree and turned his head to look at the wound the mysterious ninja had left, he barely held back a surprised gasp as he saw the curse seal on Sasukes neck 'That was Orochimaru!' AC knew when he was in over his head, if Orochimaru came back he wouldn't last long enough to do any body any good, it was time to call in the original "Sakura" he said getting her attention. She had been sitting near Sasukes feet with her arms wrapped around her knees clutching them to her chest, staring into space.

"I want you to set up some perimeter traps while I scout the area. Stay near Sasuke, I'll be back when I'm through" AC said leaving the hollow of the tree.

"Wait! You're just going to leave me here…alone?" she whispered the last part.

"You should have been told this a long time ago Sakura, but when you accept the headband with the leaf insignia on it you forfeited any rights to remaining a child. It's time to act like a shinobi and do your job, for now your job is setting perimeter traps and keeping watch over Sasuke" Arashi said with his blue eyes staring into her green ones. When Sakura lowered her head to stare at her knees, Arashi sighed and knelt in front of her.

"There is a kunoichi in you that is waiting to come out and show the world what she can do, but right now, that fan girl is in control. When this is over I'm going to introduce you to someone that is going to take that fan girl beat her to within an inch of her life and introduce the kunoichi to the rest of her comrades who have been dying to meet her. You can start by digging deep inside yourself and finding those skills that the fan girl has hidden deep within you and protecting your teammate" Arashi stood up and once again made his way from the hollow of the tree "I have confidence in you Sakura don't let me down" he said before disappearing into the shadows. Once he was out of sight of Sakura AC dispelled himself to give the original an update on what was happening.

Back in the hollow of the tree Sakura Haruno was preparing to do what she was ordered to. She was determined to put more effort into her ninja skills. She pulled off her hip pouch and dumped everything on the ground to see what she had to work with and couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.

A normal hip pouch would have things like soldier pills, first aid kits, ninja wire and exploding tags. What did Sakura's have? Make up, perfume and even small bottles of shampoo and conditioner. 'I'm so pathetic. Now I know why Arashi gave me the scroll, no one would suspect the weakest member of the team to hold the means of passing or failing the exam. Sakura didn't stay down for long, she went to the still unconscious Sasuke and took his hip pouch off him and went through it. Finding the items that she could use to make traps she walked out of the hollow with one more thought before she set to work. 'I won't fail you…Arashi-kun'.

(Back with the original)

'/I better get back there. I'll pick up Kabutos trail later' /with one last glance at Kabuto and his team he took off in the direction of his downed team. He had to travel most of the night and stop every now and again to avoid confrontation with some other squads, particularly the Sand squad with the red head on it.

He watched from a position high up in the trees as he used is Sand to crush a Rain team into nothing. By the time he got to the clearing he could hear the sounds of battle before a foul chakra seemed to fill the surrounding area. Arriving on the scene he couldn't believe what he saw, Sakura was beaten and bloody, Rock Lee was sprawled out on the ground and Team 10 was completely incapacitated. Sasuke was up and looking lively with the exception of a some weird tattoos and a demented smile on his face as he broke the arms of the Sound genin with spiky black hair. Arashi used the shunshin to appear behind him and used the edge of his hand to chop him in the neck rendering him unconscious again. "Alright enough of this shit, I've been awake all night, got swallowed by a snake yesterday and I haven't been laid in 3 days" cue the sweat drops from the still conscious guys and blushes from the still conscious girls "I'm a little on edge, I could snap and kill everybody in this clearing if I don't get some rest soon. So if you want to avoid that give me your scroll and we'll call it even for attacking my team" he said addressing the Sound team member with the bandaged head.

"How do I know you'll let us go when you have the scroll?" he asked

"You don't but I can just as easily take it from your corpse, just as easily as you can set it on the ground and leave with your team" was Arashis cold respone.

Not seeing any other options the bandaged sound ninja pulled the scroll from the inside of his jacket and set it on the ground and backed away from it. Arashi picked up Sasuke and moved away from the other downed male member of the Sound team whom he was standing behind the whole time during the negotiation and walked forward at the same time as the leader of the Sound team. Once they had swapped positions Arashi walked to the tree where he had originally laid Sasuke and set him there once again.

"I don't mean to be rude and while I appreciate your help, I think our team needs a moment alone and you need to see to your own team needs" Arashi said with his back turned to those still in the clearing.

"He's right, it's only the second day and now Lee is only at half strength, we're going to have to waste another day for him to recover" Neji said approaching Lees slowly recovering form.

"Let's get going guys" was Shikamarus lazy drawl.

"Wait at least let me fix Sakuras hair for her" Ino said as she approached a still somewhat disoriented Sakura.

"Leave it, It's as much a battle wound as the scars she received today, she can have it fixed later, now is not the time for that" Arashi said stopping Ino in her tracks. Arashi approached Sakura and picked her up bridal style and also carried her to the tree and sat her next to Sasuke, even though he didn't show it he knew when Team 10 and Team 9 left the clearing and then the area. "After I treat your wounds we'll rest for a while and then we're heading for the tower alright? We have to get Sasuke checked out as soon as we can"

"Okay Arashi-kun, whatever you say" Sakura mumbled as she drifted off to sleep.

Arashi raised his eyebrows at the kun suffix added to his name. 'Since I can't follow Kabuto without leaving my team behind, we might as well get the hell out of this forest and hopefully into some real beds. Besides with Orochimau targeting Sasuke, better safe than sorry'

An: My longest chapter yet 12,000 words. Okay next chapter prelims and the invasion. Fair warning, don't expect to read every prelim battle, I don't have that kind of patience to sit down and right out ten separate battles. Anyway read and review

PS: Drop a thank you to Adrien Skywalker author of 'The Nidaime's Heir', ToBetasered author of Uchiha Fukurou and TheDemonKingNaruto author of some of the best Godlike Naruto fics I have ever read, they really inspired me to put out another chapter after reading their stories.
