Chapter 31. Politics And The Forest Of Death
(1 Week ago).
Inside the Hyuga compound in the main branch household, Hiashi and his brother Hizashi were both in a meeting with the elders, Hizashi was only here to act as a representative for the branch family and nothing more.
"This isn't good.." said one of the elders as he stroked his chin "the Senju boy is getting stronger and not only that but with him rebuilding both the Uzumaki and Senju clan, our prestige and power will start to weaken".
"I agree, Hiashi you need to encourage your daughter more to talk to this boy so he'll form an attachment, then once that happens they shall be engaged and we'll place the caged bird seal on her to ensure none of her children will have the Byakugan" said Hiashi and Hizashi's father. "Hinata is too weak and this will finally make her useful since then we can manipulate the two clans from the inside and have her convince Naruto to give the Hyuga more of the clans powers and rights along with Jutsus".
The other 9 elders nodded in agreement and Hizashi saw in the corner of his eye that Hiashi's closed hand tightened even more, though his face didn't change at all.
"Father that may work but we have to remember, Tsunade is still the clan head for the Senju and she'll see this strategy from a village away" said Hiashi.
"Don't worry, we'll be taking care of that, and soon she won't be of any concern to us or the village, our main goal now is to get Hinata to marry Naruto, then if possible we have him marry branch members so then his children will only be Hyuga" said another elder who stroked the slight stubble on his chin.
"That would be a very good idea, though we will have to be careful given the boy will have lots of political and military protection, from what Hiashi told us, the Anbu and Jonin of the village love him because of his seals he sells" said an elder.
"Hmm we won't need to worry about about that for too much longer, once he's married with our clan members we'll manipulate him into making it so that the seals are exclusively sold by the Hyuga. Also we shall have him commission a new seal to add to the bird cage seal which will make it even stronger" said Hiashi and Hizashi's father.
"Hiashi do you have any other important news?" His father said.
"Nothing is certain but I've heard rumors that Hokage-sama is going to make Tsunade-sama his successor" he said.
"Hmm she would be a good choice but that would make it harder for us to force the marriage... We should call in some favors to either stop it or delay it until the marriage contract is signed" said a elder at the end of the room.
The rest nodded their heads in agreement at that statement "we should try and get it sent through before the Chunin Exams finish and if Tsunade denies it for too much longer we should get the Daimyo involved" said an elder.
Before the conversations could continue a knock on the door was heard before it was partially opened "please forgive me Elders, Hiashi-sama, but an Anbu is here and wished to speak to Hiashi-sama about the usual plans for the Chunin exams".
"I see, tell the Anbu I shall be with them in a moment" said Hiashi who then received a nod in understanding before the branch member left.
"You may leave now Hiashi, these talks are done for now, but remember you must get your daughter to marry Naruto, even if you must force her too" said his father.
Hiashi showed no emotion and nodded his head and left, but on the inside he was boiling with rage against his father and the other elders. They saw the branch family and his daughter as nothing more than tools and the females as breeding stock.
He clicked his tongue in anger, thinking about it reminded him way to much of Danzo, though he was sure the elders have been meeting with said man, but they won't tell him since they don't fully trust him anymore.
"Things just keep getting worse ever since Naruto arrived, the elders, especially my father has become more fanatical and obsessive about making our clan stronger" he thought as he arrived at his office where he saw a Anbu member waiting.
"Hello Hiashi-sama, I'm here for the regular meeting about Chunin Exam rules and how your clan will help" said the Wolf masked Anbu.
Hiashi nodded his head and sat down behind his desk looking at the Anbu before he gestured for him to begin speaking.

(3 days before then).
In the Hokage's office Hiruzen and Tsunade were staring at each other and the Anbu were beginning to sweat giving the stare down between the two Kage level Shinobi.
"Tsunade will you please accept this and become my successor, for the Hokage position" said Hiruzen looking at her.
"And why should I? You have Kakashi or Jiraiya who can fill that role instead of me" said Tsunade looking at her sensei.
"Because Jiraiya is our spy master, he's needed outside the village gathering as much information on enemy villages as possible. And for Kakashi he's a very valuable Jonin and it wouldn't be smart to remove him from the front lines and have him stuck behind an office at all times when he can be training future teams or leading assaults" said Hiruzen.
"Ok that I understand but you know the secret to beating paperwork so you don't really need a replacement, besides you are strong enough to hold this position" said Tsunade.
"That may be true, but it's time for new blood to lead this village, also I'm too old and my age is slowly starting to effect my decision making, also if you were to become Hokage then it'd be easier for you to protect Naruto" said Hiruzen.
"What do you mean? I'm more than strong enough to protect him plus I'm the Senju clan head" said Tsunade.
"That may be true, but it's only you and Naruto for the Senju clan, Jiraiya doesn't really count since he's only married to you.
With the fact that it's only both of you and for the Uzumaki it's only Naruto, Akane and Yona that are the last members of the known Uzumaki clan.
Because of this you have a good amount of political power but not enough to stop the stronger clans from trying to sink their claws into you or Naruto to control them" said Hiruzen.
"Like the Hyuga" said Tsunade.
"Indeed, they are a very large and powerful clan, with them being the strongest in the village, though they fear what will come once Naruto gets older and he starts to rebuild both the Senju and Uzumaki clans.
Because of that I want you to be my successor so you can then protect him with your position as Hokage since it'd be much harder for them or anyone else to do any political moves against you or Naruto. Also it'll be harder for other villages to attack him or use anything to hurt him, given he'd be more protected" said Hiruzen.
Tsunade sighed and bit her nail in thought, she didn't want to be the Hokage but at the same time if she was to become Hokage then she'd be able to protect Naruto and Yona, Akane and Fuu. Plus she can also ask for some favors from the Daimyo, after all he's shown a great amount of interest in Naruto and she's hoping that he'd be willing to help protect Naruto. Though she can't rely to heavily on him, especially given she's aware he's subtly pushing his granddaughter to get closer to Naruto even though they are already friends and send regular letters to one another.
"Fine sensei... But just know I'll only be a seat warmer for Naruto until he is ready. Also I'll be changing some things, I need a favor from you in order to help secure my position as Hokage" said Tsunade.
"That is fine, though I'd say wait until he is at least 25 so he can enjoy life and spend a couple years with his soon to be children and wives.
Also what is the favor you need of me?" Said Hiruzen.
"I need you to take away the Konoha Military Police Force from the Uchiha so it's not the Uchiha military police, with you doing that we can then have less Jonin and Anbu protecting the village and have them in the areas we critically need them. Those available forces will be used to patrol the outskirts of the village and border of other nations.
The new military police force will mainly be filled with Chunin and advanced genin along with a couple of Jonin to lead them" she said.
Hiruzen nodded his head, that was a very good plan especially with rising tensions, plus it'll free up Anbu and Jonin so they won't be overworked as much as they are "and who will lead the new military police force?".
"I'm planning to have it be the Inuzuka, they are a strong clan noble clan, plus they are extremely loyal and if I appoint them with this position it'll be another check on the Hyuga which will undoubtedly piss off the elders" she said while laughing at the end.
Hiruzen chuckled and nodded his head "very well, I'll get the paperwork and everything settled for you to become Hokage, I'll announce it publicly on the day of the Chunin Exam finals".
Tsunade nodded her head and stood up "well till then sensei, I need to head back to the Hospital and finish up my shift and catch Shizune up on everything now since if I become Hokage she's gonna most likely be my secretary".
Hiruzen nodded his head and watched as she left before he leaned back in his chair and looked out the window while lighting his pipe and enjoying the taste of the fresh tobacco "things are changing fast and the best I can do is prepare the next generation and make up for my mistakes".

(1 day before the Chunin Exams).
In one of the many dark underground bunkers that Danzo built, said man was sitting in his office doing some paperwork while waiting for his report from Fu and his meeting with the other two Elders.
He was greatly disappointed in both Fu and Torune, even after mind probes and having bugs basically eat the captured Uzumaki for days upon days, he never once gave in. Not only that but before they captured him, he placed a seal on his genitals preventing Danzo from recreating the Uzumaki clan and having them loyal to him.
"No matter" he said quietly "Naruto shouldn't have that seal on him so once he's older I'll have one of my agents take advantage of him so I can recreate a loyal army of Uzumaki" he said with his lips twitching for a moment.
Just then the doors opened and Fu Yamanaka walked into the room holding a report.
"Speak" said Danzo putting down his brush.
"Of course Danzo-sama, I'm sorry to inform you but nothing we seem to do to the Uzumaki works, we've been torturing him non stop for 2 months and he has yet to break, not only that but I probed into his mind but he has a memory gem. This makes it harder but he also has seals on it preventing me from accessing his more important memories" said Fu.
Danzo was silent for a moment in thought before his eye opened a bit "what about the seal that prevents him from impregnating people, had that been broken yet?".
"Sadly no Danzo-sama, we've tried everything but the seal won't break meaning you can't have him impregnate the female Root agents" said Fu.
"No matter, we have Naruto and the other two Uzumaki's in the village, so I just need to wait for a opportunity to either capture them or force Naruto to impregnate my female Root" said Danzo. "Now leave I need to finish my work".
Fu saluted him and put his report down before walking out of the room and leaving.
Now that Danzo was alone again his mind then went to the Anbu that Hiruzen has ordered to monitor some of his bases. It did make him frown a bit, how did he learn about some of his bases, though thankfully it seems he only knows about 3 of his bases and not the others, especially his head quarters.
A knock was heard and the door opened and the other two elders entered the room and gave him a bow before they went to the available chairs and sat down.
"Danzo-sama you summoned us?" Said Homura.
"Yes, once I take the position of Kage, then kill the Daimyo to make myself the new Daimyo of all of Hi no Kuni, I shall need you two to maintain my control with these new laws" Danzo said.
Both of the elders remembered the last conversation they had a long time ago about Danzos plans but Koharu had to ask "Danzo-sama how will you prevent people from rising up? With these new laws they will want to revolt".
Danzo looked at her and spoke "well that's quite simple, I'll take away everyone's weapons and make it law that they can't speak up against me, for once you take away the people's way to fight back and make it so they can't speak up, then it's easier to control them. Once I do that I'll make the military stronger and have them completely control the people then they won't be able to do anything".
Koharu nodded her head "very well, I'll ensure the Civilian council approves of this, though the clan heads and Jonin council will be harder to convince" she said.
"I will kill them and place puppets in that are completely loyal to me, besides I won't have to wait long, as long as Orochimaru holds his end of the deal then Hiruzen, Jiraiya, Tsunade and the Jonin that support them will be dead" said Danzo.
"But what about other villages? Seeing that we will be invaded by Orochimaru and the Hokage along with Daimyo and Sannin will be dead, other villages will seize this opportunity to attack us" said Homura.
"I'll have my Root spies sew chaos all over the other villages and if possible kill the Kages" said Danzo.
Both elders nodded and they continued to work out all the knots and kinks in the plan to ensure Danzo will be the new leader of Hi no Kuni and that there is no trace of anything he was doing being led back to him.
"Also I'll need you two to distract Tsunade on the day of the second exam, given Orochimaru is going to give me a opportunity to capture Naruto with a new seal I gave him" said Danzo.

(Back to present).
All the Chunin hopefuls were standing Infront of the forest of Death waiting for Anko to begin her speech about what they will be doing.
Naruto, Akane and Fuu were standing a little bit off to the distance, specifically away from team 10 because of Ino trying to jump him again on the way to the forest of death.
"Akane, Fuu do you see that other red head with the glasses" he said quietly.
Both girls discreetly looked over and saw the girl he mentioned and Akane's eyes widened since she could sense that she's a Uzumaki like her, she also saw the seal on the top of her right hand.
"She's a Uzumaki and during this part of the exam I want us to try and save her ok?" He said hoping they'd agree to his plan.
"If she's part of your family I'll help you Naruto" said Fuu with a smile "but I'll want something in return".
"Sure what would you want?" He asked.
She smiled more and walked up to him and kissed his cheek "I want a date".
Naruto froze and Akane narrowed her eyes "no fair I want one too".
"Well in that case, he can take us both on a date" said Fuu giggling.
Naruto's brain was trying to process this but before he could comment, Anko began speaking.
"Look sharp, greenies! Welcome to training ground 44, otherwise known as the forest of death." She introduced with a sinister flair mixed with dramatics. She had her trademark, bloodthirsty showing, making some of them sweat and the rest feel anxious.
"For the second part of the exam, the objective is to retrieve and protect. But first, you all are going to sign these papers if you want to take part in this portion of the exam," she said, waving a bunch of papers in her hand.
As they were handed the papers, Naruto raised an eyebrow at the large letters 'FORM OF CONSENT' printed on top. He quickly read it and signed it, just in time to heat a genin across the group call out.
"What do we need to sign these for? We obviously have to take the exams!" Said a random genin.
Anko easily dismissed the statement and explained with a breezy smile, "Oh, that's your agreement to accept all the risks in the forest, so your respective villages don't blame me and by extension, Konoha for all your deaths, get it?".
Naruto noticed in the corner of his eyes, some creepy Kusa ninja licked her lips at that.
"Alright, listen up or you're going to die before even reaching the halfway mark. One member of each team will take the forms to the row of tents over there, where the forms will be exchanged for a scroll. Some will get a heaven, some will get an earth scroll. You need both, and you need to get both of them to the tower in the middle of the forest in order to pass," she explained. Somehow, her tone turned even more serious after that. Especially when the grin formed on her face.
"Of course, you also need all your teammates to pass upon arrival. You must also not open the scrolls until you get there," she glared at everyone gathered, daring them to disagree with her.
Ino raised her hand, "What happens if we open them in the forest?"
Anko smirked, "Something unpleasant....for you and your team."
Akane and Fuu handed Naruto the papers and they went to the tent to hand in the papers, it was then decided that Fuu will hold the Heaven scroll since she'd be the least likely to be expected to hold the scroll.
Once they exited and everyone else did the same thing they all stood Infront of Anko again to see if she has anything else to say.
Just before Anko could speak, Sakura started to screech "WAIT BUT THIS MEANS HALF OF US WILL FAIL!!!".
"Oh wow I didn't realize that, thank you so much for pointing out the obvious" said Anko flatly as she glared at her. "Anyways the reason why I'd weed out all of the weaklings and you have 5 days to get both scrolls and arrive at the tower".
"But what will we do about food!?" Said Choji in horror.
"The forest is full of food! Giant, juicy bugs and large predators that will eat you first if you don't eat them" Anko absently waved her hand.
Choji looked ready to cry at what she said.
"Can we quit?" Shikamaru asked before wincing as Ino hit the back of his head beard enough that it really hurt.
Anko scowled, "Hell no! You think you can just quit in the middle of a mission? You want to quit, hurry up and die! Unless you want me to be the one that kills you!".
Everyone took a couple steps back away from her before they walked towards the gates they were assigned.
For Naruto he put his arms around Akane and Fuu pulling them in and getting blushes on their faces "listen you know that creepy Kusa ninja".
Both of them nodded and Akane looked over and froze, that ninja was staring at them before looking at team 7 and she licked her lips.
"Stay away from her... I can sense it and her chakra is pure evil, not only that but her levels are probably Chunin to Jonin, but I can tell they are being heavily suppressed" said Naruto. "Also it's faint because of the distance and all the people but I can smell snakes on her".
Now both of them were even more worried "so what should we do" said Fuu.
"Just stay away from her and let's finish this test as fast as possible" said Naruto.
They all arrived at the gate and waited for the Chunin to open the gates.
Just then the gates slammed open and all three of them shot forward into the forest at Chunin level speeds to try and gain as much ground as possible.
"Let's get a mile in and then I'll create a horde of shadow clones to search the area to find a team with the scroll we need for us to ambush, remember we have to finish this test as fast as possible" said Naruto.
"Right" said Akane as she placed her hand on her father's sword and deactivated the seal that locks it in to the scabbard.
"Just tell me where they are and I'll punch them real good" said Fuu with a grin as she cracked her knuckles.
___
After a little while they arrived at a point where they stopped and Naruto created a horde of clones, he then placed two fingers on the ground and kept his sensor skills extremely high to make sure they aren't snuck up on.
For Akane she got a couple explosive notes ready for battle while also coating her blade in a highly toxic poison that makes you bleed from the eyes, mouth and nose and it only takes 5 minutes till you bleed to death. It was a poison her and Tsunade spent 3 weeks making while Akane was training in the medical field with her.
Fuu cracked her neck and knuckles while also stretching her back "hey Chomei you ready for this test?".
"Yes, I'm quite excited to see how you and your team face up against other villages" said Chomei.
"Yeah I'm excited for it, though I am a little nervous because of that Kusa ninja" said Fuu.
"I can't sense the same way Kurama does but even I can sense the evil chakra... It makes our chakra look nice in comparison" said Chomei.
"Found a team" said Naruto suddenly as he opened his eyes and stood up "it's a team from from here... But I have good news, it's the 3 sons of two of the civilian councilor's".
"Can we kill them?" Said Fuu and Akane at the same time.
"We'd be doing the world a favor" said Naruto "alright now let's go before they decide to move".
They all shot off heading to the location and after a couple minutes they arrived at the scene where they saw the three genin arguing.
"I TOLD YOU TO BRING A WEEKS WORTH OF FOOD AND YET YOU ONLY BRING 2 FUCKING RATION BARS!!!!!".
"Hey come on man... It's... Not that bad" said the other guy with red bloodshot eyes.
"Are you... WE ARE IN THE FUCKING CHUNIN EXAMS AND YOUR HIGH!!!!" Screamed the leader.
"I mean yeah dude... It's like not that hard.. we just need a scroll and I have a bunch in my pocket" said the high one. "Besides... I also brought some of my dad's money... We shall be fine".
Before the leader could scream he heard the sound of thousands of birds chirping before he felt white hot pain in his chest, he looked down and saw a hand covered in lightening chakra sticking through his chest.
"HEAVENLY KICK!!" Yelled Fuu coming down from the tree and her foot slammed into the other ninja killing him on impact.
The high one panicked and tried to run away and not even save his comrades, he ran for a couple feet before his eyes widened as he saw his father walk around a tree.
"HAHA take that demons!!! Now that my father is here and he's on the civilian council, your in trouble!!!" He screamed out with a smile.
Just then a blade pierced his chest and his eyes widened in horror and he looked over to see it was his father who stabbed him through the chest.
"D-dad why?..." He said coughing up blood and it felt as if his chest was on fire and it was spreading through the rest of his body.
"Because you are a disappointment" he said ripping the sword from his chest making him fall to the ground, dead before impact.
"That was pretty brutal Akane" said Naruto looking at her.
"He's the son of a Civilian council member you said would make sure the prices of everything were fives times the normal prices, so I call this fair" said Akane cleaning her blade from his blood.
"Fair enough" said Naruto as he opened up the kunai pouch and pulled out the earth scroll "ok now we need to find and rescue Karin from Kusa, I just discovered where she was".
"Alright let's go!" Said Akane happily since it meant they'll get another clan member.
They all took off once more leaving the bodies and raced off towards where Karin was. It only took them 30 minutes of running at Chunin speeds to arrive but when they did, Naruto sensed that dark chakra again and it was fighting Sasuke and Sai.
"Shit.." he said as he landed on a branch "you two grab Karin and get out of here now!".
"What why?" Said Fuu concerned.
"That dark chakra is here... And it's easily Kage level reserves..." He said feeling his blood pumping "look I'm the only one that can buy us time and can control enough tails to even the odds... So I need you two to take Karin and get to the tower and alert any Jonin or Anbu".
Both girls were reluctant but agreed, they knew he was stronger than both of them and if they joined they might get in the way "fine..." Said Akane "but you better come back alive or else!".
"Don't worry, I won't die until I'm at least a hundred or two hundred years old" he said before shooting off.
"Ok let's get Karin and get out of here" said Fuu as she and Akane jumped down to said girl who was hiding in a tree trunk.
Karin looked worried as she saw the two new comers.
"Don't worry, I'm a Uzumaki and Naruto asked me to save you" said Akane extending her hand to her.
She looked a little worried but stared at her for a little bit and gently took her hand.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Kukuku poor Sasuke-kun... Your brother is so much stronger than you" said the Kusa ninja.
Sasuke glared at him with his two tomoe sharingan, beside him was a very injured Sai who was holding his bleeding arm and off in the distance was Sakura, who was being Sakura.
"Well Sasuke-kun if this is all you can show me then I'm surly disappointed in you, Itachi could take on entire squads of Anbu while he was your age and yet you can't handle little old me only using Jonin levels" said the Kusa ninja.
"SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH!!" He screamed back as he went through hand signs "Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu!".
A large fireball the size of a wagon went flying to the Kusa ninja but he bent at a weird angle that shouldn't be humanly possible and dodged it.
"Kukuku it seems you have a bit of fight left in you, I guess I can give you my gift then" his body then extended and his lower half looked like a snake as he charged towards Sasuke at speeds only his eyes could keep up with but not his body.
Before Sasuke could fully register what was happening the Kusa ninja but his shoulder making him scream in pain as a seal formed on his shoulder that looked like three tomoes. After that the ninja retracted her body and grinned darkly while licking her lips again.
"Hmhmhm you shall soon seek o-" the Kusa ninja stopped as a kunai landed before her feet and exploded, destroying the tree she was on.
The nin managed to substitute in time but her skin was slowly starting to peel off from the damage of the explosion.
"An explosion like that is used for destroying light fortifications, not killing ninja... Whoever threw that wants me dead" she thought but then her ninja instincts kicked in and she turned around and was met with a chakra enhanced fist to the face.
Naruto watched in satisfaction as the Kusa ninja went through two trees but his happiness was short lived as it turned into a mud clone.
Once he realized that his body tensed and he sent out a chakra puls before jumping up into the air dodging an attack from the ninja.
Going through quick hand seals Naruto built up water chakra in his body before shooting it out "water Style: water gun Jutsu".
Easily dodging the attack, the Kusa ninja began speaking "How fascinating, you only needed to use 3 hand seals instead of the normal 10... Show me what else you can do Naruto-kun".
Naruto narrowed his eyes and landed on a branch and looked over with his eyes widening seeing the mark on Sasuke's shoulder, he then felt his blood run cold realizing who he was fighting.
Orochimaru of the Sannin, his grandparents old teammate.
"Kurama... I normally ask you for permission but I need at least 4 tails right now!" Said Naruto knowing as he was right now he wouldn't stand a chance.
Kurama opened his eyes and quickly went through Naruto's memories and realized who he was fighting "got it".
"Ok Orochimaru... Let's fight" said Naruto as red chakra started to form around him before his skin began to peel.
"Kukuku so you knew who I was... Your even more fascinating to meeee" Orochimaru said as he peeled his mask off "it makes me wonder how you knew. Also I see you can control the Kyuubi's chakra... I can't have that happening now can I".
Naruto said nothing as a red and black bubble formed around him that ks to his skin and blood peeling and boiling off of his body to mix with Kuramas chakra.
After a moment Naruto appeared and he was in his 4 tailed state, meaning he was as strong as the 4 tailed monkey, if not slightly stronger. Naruto's chakra exploded in a wave of power before he let out a loud roar which should alert every single ninja in the village.
Orochimaru went to taunt but he was met with a sickening punch that sent him flying through the forest for over 2 miles.

(2 minute ago at Hokage tower).
Meanwhile in the Hokage tower Hiruzen was talking to Tsunade when the window was opened and Jiraiya entered.
"Hello Hime, sensei how's it going?" He said with a grin walking into the office and kissing Tsunades head before sitting down.
"Jiraiya I'm glad your here, with you here it'll be harder for Orochimaru to try anything" said Hiruzen.
"Haha so I'm the snake repellent, let's hope It works or you might want a refund" said Jiraiya with a chuckle.
Hiruzen couldn't help but laugh at that before he turned serious "do you have any news?".
Jiraiya turned serious and nodded his head "yeah, really bad news... Suna is starting to send forces near our borders, Oto is doing the same but has a large army of missing ninja too and I got even worse news. Iwa just announced that 200 ninja turned into missing ninja".
"This isn't good... I'll have to inform the Daimyo and ask him if he still wants to come or not, because of he does we'll need more protection for him and given we will have 3 armies against us, we'll have to pull forces off the border without drawing suspicion" said Hiruzen.
"Sensei what should we do about the 200 missing Iwa ninja?" Said Tsunade.
"Nothing publicly, we can't accuse Onoki of this unless we want to loose the chance to use this same strategy in the future, so all we can do is hope we bring enough ninja into the village" said Hiruzen.
"Um if I may, wouldn't it be easier to cancel the Chunin Exams?" Said Shizune.
"No" said Hiruzen "this is a extremely important event which will generate millions of Ryo for the village, also the heirs for the Uchiha and Uzumaki/Senju are going to be competing, which means nobles and dignitaries from almost every single village across elemental nations are going to be here". He then took a drag from his pipe "plus with us knowing the upcoming attack we can show the whole world just how strong we are".
Before conversations could continue they all felt Kuramas chakra then a roar they haven't heard in over 12 years.
"ANBU GET SEVERAL SQUADS OF ANBU NOW!! Whoever Naruto is fighting is powerful enough to make him use the Kyuubi's chakra and this much isn't a contestant!".
"HAI!" said the Anbu before one left.
Jiraiya and Tsunade already jumped out the window and we're racing to the forest as fast as they could.
"Hold on Naruto I'm coming!!" Thought Tsunade.
___
Naruto charged forward and ripped a chunk of this section of the forest apart as Orochimaru dodged.
"Hmm, it seems you can control it... I'll have to seal that up or kill you... Or better yet cripple you" said Orochimaru darkly.
A red blur shot out again and managed to his the snake again making him smash into a tree but he fell apart in mud.
"Snake hand Jutsu" said Orochimaru as his hand turned into a snake and it but Naruto's neck but it did nothing but piss him off.
A swipe of his tails tore him in half and made Orochimaru fall on the ground.
But instead of bleeding, he just laid there completely emotionless until a pair of hands exited his mouth and Orochimaru pulled himself out like nothing happened.
Naruto felt his anger boil so he brought his tails together about his mouth and started to gather chakra into a tiny ball, after a little bit Naruto opened his jaw with a sickening crack and he ate the chakra ball.
Orochimaru watched in fascination before his eyes widened in horror realizing what he was doing, he quickly bit his thumb and went through hand seals.
"Summoning jutsu: Triple Rashōmon".
Infront of him three massive gates were summoned and they could be seen from all over the forest if you work close enough or high enough in the canopy.
Naruto opened his mouth and shot the tiny ball of chakra and once it hit the first gate it tore through it like nothing, but then it hit the second and exploded but still destroyed it and then it hit the last gate, destroying it as well.
Orochimaru grinned at seeing this before he was hit with the explosion which destroyed 1/9th of the forest and ended up killing 4 other teams.
The smoke was so thick that nothing could be seen, but after a little bit it cleared up and Naruto didn't see him or sense him.
Seeing that he most likely dead, the chakra started to recede and it got to the point where it was almost gone, that's when a sword shot out of the ground and almost pierced Naruto In the chest, but luckily the yokai was thick enough to stop it.
Naruto gritted his teeth and tried to call upon more but the seal wouldn't let him giving he just used 4 tails and started to give it back to Kurama.
"So the sword can't pierce... Oh well.. I'll just have to use this seal Danzo gave me" Orochimaru thought before his mouth opened wider and a new him shot forward while the sword had Naruto pinned.
Him seeing this he sent out chakra chains to kill the snake but he dodged then easily and his right hand lit up with Kanji on each finger.
"FIVE ELEMENTAL SEAL!!!" yelled Orochimaru as his palm slammed into Naruto's stomach.
"KIT MOVE N-".
Naruto froze as Kuramas chakra disappeared and the sword pierced his shoulder making him scream, but then he saw Orochimaru with a new seal on his palm, one he didn't recognize at all.
"DEMON EATING SEAL!!" He said lifting Naruto's shirt and slamming it on the other seal.
Once that seal was placed Naruto felt nothing but white hot pain and he started to scream in pain as it felt as if his stomach was being burned from the inside out.
"Kukuku have fun Naruto-kun, that seal will destroy the chakra network around your stomach, think of it as a gift to ensure you can't get in my way" he said darkly before sinking into the ground and disappearing.
Naruto puked out a massive amount of blood because of the seal and poison, he didn't think it could get any worse until he felt Kuramas chakra starting to leak out of him to escape because the Eight Trigrams was heavily damaged.
"Damnit... Kurama.. someone... Help me" he said before puking out more blood and collapsing on the ground trying to suppress Kuramas chakra so it can't escape or else it'll kill him and Kurama would never forgive himself.
