Naruto: Dream to Immortality

Chapter 203: The Chunin Exams ..

Title: The Chunin Exams ..

.

A couple of weeks later and the 2nd confrontation with Zabuza happens. When Haku dies from Kakashi's Chidori, Naruto can't help but yell at Zabuza for being a cold monster.

Zabuza on the other hand seems completely calm on the outside  even as Gato kicks Haku's dead body at least until tears come out of his eyes. 

"Kid" He calls to naruto. "Can you let me borrow one of your kunai."

Naruto seems surprised at this. But he complies and throws one of his kunai towards Zabuza, who grabs it with his teeth.

*fwosh*

He immediately starts running towards Gato, who cowers back "K -Kill him."

As Gato is running he screams in terror. "What the hell is wrong with Konoha always getting in my way. That bastard Hokage of yours and now you. Always getting in my way, never letting me develop, I had no way. How can a killer ninja be so good at business, why can't he just keep to his killer way and stay in his own lane."

But even though injured, Zabuza easily cuts through his men like butter and gets critically injured while at the same time he kills Gato by slashing at his throat. While Gato stumbles and falls off the bridge, he has a terrified look on his face. '

"What we aren't getting paid by Gato anymore! Hell, we will rob this place." Says one of Gato's goons. But as they are about to say something more. 

A figure covered in lightning runs through them, shocking their hearts and killing them all. This surprised everyone, even Kakashi, as even with his sharingan out he could barely keep up with the figure.

It all happened in a split second, no one could react

***plop***

As the bodies of Gato's goons all fall on the ground, some with foam coming out of their mouths. That is when the lightning is dispelled and a purple hair beauty is seen, by team seven. It is Yoruichi, she looks at them and waves. "Yo! Brats, hope I am not late."

That is when she sees Sasuke lying on the ground covered in senbon. "Uhhh is he dead?"

Naruto immediately rushes towards Sasuke and Sakura does the same too. But Yoruichi already knows that he is not dead, after all she was hiding all along, looking at the battle for a long time. But she decided to follow her father's orders and not interfere, though she might not be a medical ninja like her father, she knows her stuff. So she already noticed that Sasuke wasn't hit in any vital point by  Haku.

..

-Yami POV-

I look through the files of the Chunin Exam participants. Hmmm it seems like quite some people want to apply for Chunin. Well I guess I will accept them all, they should already know the risks involved. 

Anyway, I will just design the same chunin exam just like canon. I wonder if Orochimaru will dare to attack me now instead of Hiruzen of course I already know the answer to that question. 

.

.

So just like this one months  passes and here I am. Looking through the eyes of my mosquitoes and spying in the Chunin Exam. Yoruichi is in my office, just messing around. I need her here for something about when I give her the order.

.

After they finish the written portion of the exam. I open my eyes and look at Yoruichi, who is just playing chess with her shadow clone that is just sad. Doesn't she have friends?

Oh! Right, she actually doesn't have any friends. Still I ordered heri. "Yoruichi, go and stop Orochimaru when he attacks. Let him battle Sasuke and bite him. Giving him the curse mark, after that you appear and chase Orochimaru away."

She just turns to look at me and nods. Dispelling her clone and going away. I know that Orochimaru will immediately run away and never come back here for years if I appear. But if it's my daughter, that would make him stay and continue his plan.

As Yoruichi is about to jump off the window, I look at her and warn her. "Be careful."

She stops for a second and looks at me. I usually never say this, so it most likely took her by surprise. Still she just smirked. "Don't worry dad, I am your daughter after all."

I just nod at that. "That is true."

I know that there is no way of her dying, or being so easily defeated by Orochimaru.

.

-General POV-

Sakura looks shocked as Orochimaru's neck extends towards Sasuke at extreme speeds and he bites down.

"*aaaghh*" Screams Sasuke as he feels like lava is going through his veins, going from his neck through his body. 

Orochimaru smiles at this. "Come and seek me Sasuke. When you want power you will come to me. I know you will."

As Orochimaru says that, Sasuke falls unconscious on the giant tree trunk. She looks at Orochimaru and with tears in her eyes says. "Sasuke will never join you.

Orochimaru smirks creepily at that. "Oh, I wouldn't be so sure abou-"

As he was about to talk more

*fwosh*

Yoruichi, covered in lightning, appears next to Orochimaru and before he even has time to react. 

<DYNAMIC ENTRY>

*BOOOM*

Yoruichi hits Orochimaru on the face his body flies away like a ragdoll. Going through several trees. 

Yoruichi immediately follows him, leaving the Genin behind. And around 200 meters away, she sees Orochimaru on the ground. But as she gets close, he turns into mud.

*tch* 'He escaped.' Thought Yoruichi, looking at the mud substitution technique. She can't even sense him anymore. Though she is sure that the one she kicked was the real Orochimaru. 

'He must have used substitution midair.' Contemplates Yoruichi, coming to her conclusion. But still keeping her guard up, just in case. Also her hearing and sense of smell is enhanced by her using different Jutsu, one belonging to the Inuzuka and the other to the bat summons. He can't hide his presence perfectly after all, especially while moving close by.

.

Orochimaru on the other hand is already underground, quite far away from Yoruichi. 

'As expected of Yami's daughter. She is truly fierce. I wanted to see Yami's son, but that would be too dangerous.' Contemplates Orochimaru. 'Especially now that Yami most likely knows of my presence.'

.

What Orochimaru didn't know was that Yami already knew exactly where he was. What he is doing, his future plans and things about himself that even Orochimaru didn't know. Though Orochimaru never underestimates Yami, he can never be at his level of understanding anymore. So Yami's plans are beyond Orochimaru's schemes.

.

Yoruichi just checks around and in the end she does as her father told her to. Now that she finished what she needed to do, she has to go back and look over Kiba. 'Father predicted that Orochimaru might go after Kiba. And even though a Hokage isn't supposed to be biased. Dad always says that family is everything, even if the whole world hates you, your family will always love you.'

.

.

One week later and Yami is in the Preliminaries looking at the genin, he stands in front of them. The genin all feel a certain  invisible pressure, as if they MUST listen to the Hokage. They all assume that this is the feeling of being in front of what is considered the best Kage in history. Even some of the other lands have to grudgingly admit that Yami as a Kage is effective. Though they still keep propaganda around, about the evilness of Yami Inuzuka.

So Yami goes high up in his seat and looks around for any disguised Orochimaru and nope there isn't one. Though there is one of the Sound 4, Tayuya, she is acting as the Jonin teacher of the Sound Genin team.

The first fight was..

Sasuke vs. Yoroi, just as Yami predicted Sasuke won. 

Zaku vs. Shino, Shino won. 

'Shino truly is something else. Might look to have him in the Anbu, that cruelty needed to cripple an opponent for life is something else.' Contemplates Yami.

Misumi vs. Kankuro, Kankuro won

Sakura vs. Ino, tie/both got eliminated from the tournament.  'Now talk about trash level Genin, they would definitely belong in the Genin corps.' Judges Yami.

Tenten vs. Temari, Temari won. 'Hmmm Tenten is good enough for a Genin, but Temari is not only a counter to her abilities but at the same time, she is a high Chunin level of power already.'

Shikamaru vs. Kin, Shikamaru won. 'Smart, as expected of a Nara.'

Then comes the fight of Kiba vs Naruto Kiba just looks at his father high on the pedestal while thinking.  'I will prove that I am worthy of being your son'

..

AUTHOR NOTE:

Didn't wanna waste time on some useless fight that you have already seen, so I just gave Yami's thoughts as a side comment to refresh your memory.?

P.S: Extremely boring for me to write canon moments, so I will just give an overview of what happend just yo jog your memory of the events.
