Chapter 23 - the terrifying forest of death

" Damn it's an earth scroll we need a heavens scroll."just then I heard a scream that sounded like makoto.

Immediately we ran to their aid.

We found the trio of asuma's team standing face to face with a giant serpent.

I smirked this is going to be fun kuchiyose no Jutsu. I summoned tengue and Fei-long to help deal with the serpent Fei-long the dragon was more than a match for the serpent in size and power.

As I rushed to help makoto and Jin I found that koushi was dealing with the grass ninja.

I used my denjin-senko to execute my fūton: Fūjin-dusutā.

The powerful teleporting wind hook punch hit the enemy sanin hard in the chin with enough force to knock him into a tree I aimed for the body instead of the head.

The grass ninja came at me with the ninja art of the hidden snake sword.

Using limitless guarding along with my chokuto I was able to defend against the attack even though it came at me fast.

I used the fourth form of the water sword style: striking tide using a series of flowing sword swipes I blitzed Oorochimaru with a chain of seemingly endless strikes.

Oorochimaru managed to defend against most of them but my speed was in its own Right very deadly the. I used my Sūiton: suiryuu-giri.

The sword slash sent a water dragon at the snake sage and knocked him flying into a tree.

"Jin get your team and get outta here that guys a sanin." I shouted.

The trio of them escaped and I used my demon fusion to fuse with tengue forming an armor around me and causing my speed to blaze with fire.

" Hehheh so your truly an interesting ninja namikaze Hayabusa-kun." Said Oorochimaru.

" I won't let you go after Jin or any of my teammates and I definitely won't let you get near me." I said.

The snake sage cackled.

" And what power do you think you have that can stop me?" Asked the snake ninja and he came at me I formed a rasengan in my left hand and hit him in the chest with it.

But he used his skin shedding technique to heal himself and make himself faster.

I smirked as he came near me I span around sweeping my sword down at an angle taking out his legs.

The snake sage fell back before shedding his skin and becoming a new faster Oorochimaru.

Then I focused and right as he was upon me I used a chain of flowing slashes to counter his attacks again and again we repeated this cycle until Oorochimaru fell due to chakra drainage.

" I shall continue this another time but know this Hayabusa those eyes of yours and your body shall be mine." Said Oorochimaru.

" Try and touch me you pedo and I'll cut of everything except your damned head." I bit back at him

He escaped and I went and regrouped with my team we continued through the woods and we found ourselves making camp.

As we sat by the fire side I told them the last bit of the saga.

" And upon seeing the emperor torture his son lord Vader became anikin Skywalker once more and took the emperor by the throat and tossed him over the railing into the power core and killing the emperor." I said.

" Wow so Vader had some good in him after all." Said Hanna in amazement.

" Get some sleep girls tomorrow we search for the heaven's scroll." I said.

I then summoned tengue kobold and ogre.

" Keep watch over us while we get some sleep." I said.

The trio nodded and prepared to defend us I set up a barrier seal and we were able to camp for the night.

It was about four in the morning when we each woke up and continued our way through the forest of death until we came upon a team who had an heaven scroll.

" It's obviously a trap." I said.

I summoned pixie.

" Pixie you steal the scroll while I distract these guys." I said.

I made a ram seal and summoned ten Shadow clones don't get me wrong I can summon at least four hundred using the normal shadow clone Jutsu it's just that I only needed ten at the time.

I then transformed three into kisumi Hanna and myself and three into Jin, koushi and makoto.

While I turned two into earth scrolls and I had two come with me.

The teams attacked the enemy ninja but they failed win intentionally then once the enemy had the two clones that were scrolls I jumped out and took em out using a combination of a Souten-ryuu-ranbu and the kamikaze-geri.

Two down the last one pulled out a paper bomb and tried to throw it at me but I used my sword to cut the fuse before the flame could hit it.

Then the enemy tried to get my in a choke but I used a move from taijiquan called synching the chi I raised my hands up getting the boys arms in a grip before pulling his arms down and bringing my knee up into his chin with a knee lift strike.

The blow caused him some brain damage and he fell to the ground out cold as pixie got the heaven scroll.

I returned to my teammates the two girls were eyeing pixie up.

" Hayabusa I didn't know you had the summoning Jutsu what is your contract." Asked Hanna.

" It's called the yo-kai clan." I said not really a lie see the term Demon from shin megami tensei is an umbrella term for any and every monster from myth folklore or religion even if they were considered holy beings like angels hell there was even a ghost rider demon and yo-kai means literally beautiful evil a term the west has related to demon however it literally is an umbrella term for many kinds of monsters.

" I see so that explains the tengue and the dragonoid you summoned earlier." Said kisumi.

In their team the roles were like Charlie's angels kisumi was the smart one, Hanna was the strong one and I was the leader.

As we left with the heaven scroll we managed to get to the tower to my surprise both team asuma and team Gai were there.

" Well looks like the elite nine are all gathered and waiting for the exam to begin." I said.

" Heh I'll be ready for anything that comes." Said Jin.

" This shall be a great challenge for my enryuu-ken." Said Talon Suzuki.

"We should be wary of our opponents." Said kisumi.

Chibiretsu barked.

" That's right buddy we'll do this for the pack." Hanna said.

" I'll make my grandpa proud of me." Said koushi.

' I think this is the perfect chance to get Jin to notice me.' Thought makoto.

" I might finally get the chance to use my ninpo." Said junko musashibu.

' I'll prove my clan that I am the superior member than the clan shall recognize me as the heir to the branch family.' thought hizumé.

As the three teams put their scrolls in the alters three small explosions happened and put came the three sensei's.

" Congratulations you've all made it passed the second stage now comes the hard part the semifinals." Said kakashi.

" You guys have made me proud now go and make yourselves known to the ninja world." Said asuma.

" YOSH remember to fight youthfully." Said Gai.

" You do realize that is not how you use that word right." Kakashi informed his rival then he addressed all of us.

" you guys should head into the arena here and get some rest while the other teams are making their way here." Said kakashi
