I return to see that Naruto was awake and was active as ever, seeing which I smile. I immediately hugged naruto and said " sorry naruto, I couldn't protect you ", naruto replies " nee-chan , you were unconscious at that time so it's not your fault and I will get stronger and protect you"
I smile seeing his determination and say " Mm I will wait for you ".
Sasuke wakes up and was a little weak but it is good enough that he did not succumb to the negative emotions and give in to the power of the seal. I call Sasuke to come towards me.
I say " Sasuke, Orochimaru's seal is like a double-edged sword, if your will and mental power is strong you will be able to control the seal or else you will succumb to its power. Let me show you it's power."
I then activate the seal I feel many negative emotions that are trying to agitate me but I soon control my emotions and draw the dark chakra from the seal, slowly dark black tattoos appear on the right half of my body and my chakra increases. Everyone gets oppressed because of this dark chakra.
I say to Sasuke " This the gift Orochimaru gave us but I can feel fluctuations of a stranded soul in the seal, according to my analysis Orochimaru is planning to occupy your body using the seal. I told you the information I knew the rest is in your hands"
He says " Then aren't you afraid of Orochimaru taking your body ?"
I reply " Of course not there are some people in my body(Minato,kushina remnant chakra ) who I think he would not want to face besides I have a guardian beast protecting my body(nine tails)
Sasuke says "what? guardian beast?"
to which I reply "I will tell you some other time"
Tenten then comes over and takes lee with her.
Neji who was on the tree thinks 'if Sasuke can use the energy in seal-like Scarlet he will be a difficult opponent to deal with ' They then leave from that place. Ino was helping sakura tidying her hair while naruto was making fun of Shikamaru .
Elsewhere Anko was talking to other Anbu about Orochimaru when suddenly an instructor of the exam arrived and showed a video taken in the tower 93 minutes after the exam. Temari, Konkuro, and Gaara have arrived in the tower and they were completely unharmed, especially Gaara did not even have dust on his clothes which shocks everyone.
The Anbu sigh ' They are simply monsters even I cannot guarantee that I can cross the forest with even getting dust on me. They beat the previous record by 4 hours huh."
We take rest for two days to recover from injuries and then eat some fishes by the side of the river in the morning on the fourth day. Sasuke goes to bring some wood meanwhile naruto suggests to use a normal scroll and disguise it as heaven scroll as were lacking a heaven scroll because Orochimaru burnt it.
Naruto was going to open the earth scroll when I tell him " naruto, you better not open scroll "
Kabuto slowly walks towards us and says " naruto you better listen to your sister or else you will suffer. I already saw a few members opening the scroll. The scroll contains a strong hypnotic seal which will make you sleep for 5 days hence missing the exam "
Sasuke arrives and sees that kabuto was present and immediately takes a kunai, kabuto says " You
don't have to worry, I am not here for your earth scroll"
Sasuke then relaxes a little and says " So you are also searching for a heaven scroll-like us "
to which he replies" no, actually I already have my scroll and was on my way to the tower " and shows both of his scrolls.
He was then walking away from us when Sasuke stops him and asks to hand over the scrolls, to which naruto opposes while sakura was also unwilling to take the scroll.
Kabuto then says that he would suggest to us the path we should follow to get the scrolls.
He explains to us about the three types of people that are going to present near the tower on the 5th day
1. The people who already have scrolls
2. People like them who are going to steal scrolls
3. People who will collect extra scrolls for other purposes.
Sasuke then says " I now understand why you wanted us to come with you, you want us to protect you if anyone ambushes right " listening to which kabuto smiles. We then reach in the middle part of the forest, it was dark and I was sensing many types of insects nearby, I also sensed some chakra signatures nearby and alert my teammates.
Suddenly many clones of a person come towards us while penetrating everything in their way, which I find strange. Naruto gets excited about a fight, so do i. We then get into a battle position.
