~oOo~STORY START~oOo~
The tiny gray spider known by the name Chisana, skittered silently through the dark corridors of the Ne (root) organization with her destination being Shimura Danzo's dim office. Several Ne members passed by the tiny arachnid her presence going unnoticed, because of her ability to hide her chakra. Finally reaching Danzo's office, she paused at the voiced coming from within. Creeping through the shadows, she spotted a silver haired male with round glasses speaking to Danzo in hushed whispers. Danzo seemed none too pleased at whatever the male was saying and Chisana raced along the ceiling to get a better angle of hearing the conversation.
"…keeping him hidden within the village," Kabuto whispered, the dim lighting from the lit torches reflecting off of his circular glasses. "Orochimaru-sama wants you to deal with Itachi Uchiha. He is ill and will be weak, but the time to attack is slim because Tsunade-sama has obtained a plant that she is using to make a cure for the Uchiha."
Danzo frowned, his brows furrowed.
"I'll have my best soldiers to deal with Itachi-san. No one can know the truth about the night of the Uchiha Massacre," Danzo bit off, hands balling into fists.
The sharingan hidden beneath the bandages covering his right eye began to burn and Danzo froze. He glanced around warily.
"Someone is here—"
Before Danzo or Kabuto could further move, Chisana summoned Akumu. The solid black spider about the size of a shuriken blended perfectly with the shadows and made it harder for the arachnid to be seen despite his chakra presence being felt by the two shinobi.
"Kokushibyo no Kurasuta (Cluster of Black Death)." A male voice mellowed out and a swarm of seemingly black fog began to fill the room.
The lack of lighting made it difficult for the occupants to see the danger, but the two acted accordingly to the present danger. As the cluster of tiny black spiders covered the two men, the arachnid-like plague began consuming the humans. The cluster retreated, showing Kabuto's red and purple form began to heal, his body extricating the black venom from his veins. Danzo appeared to be dead, until a foreign chakra erupted from the man's right arm and his visible eye shot open. He had used one of the hidden sharingans to save himself.
"Futon: Renkudan (Wind Release: Drilling Air Bullet)." Danzo voiced, taking a deep breath before exhaling.
The blast of wind shot towards the shadows across from him, slamming into the stone wall and causing the foundation to shake. Kabuto finally came to his senses long enough to climb to his feet.
"I'll be leaving," Kabuto said hastily, before using shunshin to reach the closed door.
A tickling sensation came from Kabuto's ear and a cry of pain left the silver haired male as he dropped to his knees while clutching his left ear. One of Akumu's spiderlings began biting the inside of Kabuto's ear canal. Seeing no choice in the matter, Kabuto's hand began glowing blue before he sent the slicing chakra into his own ear, effectively killing the spider attacking him. He quickly began to heal himself of the damage caused by the spider's bite and his own chakra. Kabuto reached for the door handle only to have a few more black spiders drop onto his hand and begin their relentless assault.
"There is only one person alive known to have a contract with the arachnids and he will pay," Danzo sneered before completing another series of hand seals. "Futon: Shinku Renpa (Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves)!"
Danzo released a blast of air from his mouth, quickly moving his head in multiple directions. The blades of wind sliced at the cluster of black spiders and they began to drop to the ground in pieces. When the jutsu began to lose its power and die down, Danzo's eyes widened. He watched as the plague of arachnids seemed to reform themselves, every piece becoming its own spider. The cluster sprang at Danzo, taking his surprise to their advantage. In his crumpled state on the floor, Kabuto forced his chakra no mesu (chakra scalpel) to coat his entire body. This technique gave the silver haired male enough time to make his escape out of the door.
'Gyaku Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Reverse Summoning Technique)!' Chisana preformed the jutsu while the cluster accumulated on Danzo, effectively blinding the man for the moment.
A cloud of smoke puffed and the shining black serrated blade of Kumo no Kosho sliced through the smoke. The blade met flesh and Danzo's right arm became detached from his body. Before the arm could touch the ground, Yami snatched it out of the air and watched as the cluster did what it was good at.

TEN MINUTES BEFORE YAMI IS SUMMONED
When Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura and Shikamaru entered Tsunade's office, Shikaku appeared from down the hallway. The Nara clan head was walking towards Yami and the others with his hands tucked into the pockets of his shinobi pants. He nodded a greeting at the five males and Ino, before moving to enter the Hokage's office.
"Kakashi-san, Yami-san, you two may want to sit in on this meeting. It concerns your genin and the results from the Chunin exams," Shikaku stated, stopping just inside the door.
Yami's eyebrow rose as he glanced at Kakashi and Itachi for a moment. Kakashi chuckled, tucking his Icha Icha into his hip pouch before moving to enter the room with Yami. Shutting the door behind them, the two senseis of Team Seven took their place by standing to the side of the room opposite of Shikaku and the four genin. It was not long before Asuma walked through the door to stand beside Yami and Kakashi. The three senseis eyed their students and waited for Tsunade to speak. Sasuke stood, his shoulder tense while Sakura watched the legendary medic nin with starry eyes. Naruto fidgeted in confused excitement and Shikamaru yawned.
"Shikamaru Nara, genin of Team Ten, during the final round of the Chunin exams you surrendered your match to your opponent despite having the position of winning. Within doing so, you exhibited the necessary skills to become a chunin. I, Tsunade Senju, Godaime Hokage, promote you to the rank of chunin," Tsunade voiced, her serious face on full display.
Gapping in shock, Shikamaru was frozen in his spot until Naruto smacked him on the back much in the same fashion he did before the Nara's match. Wincing, Shikamaru stepped forward to receive his chunin vest. Asuma grinned with pride, his teeth clenching his cigarette in the process. Shikaku's smirk was small, but noticeable.
"Sakura Haruno, genin of Team Seven, during your match in the Chunin finals, you displayed an uncanny skill in medical Ninjutsu along with the prospect of becoming one of the best in the field. You were able to analyze and defeat your opponent with the necessary skills of a chunin. I, Tsunade Senju, Godaime Hokage, promote you to the rank of chunin and hereby offer you're the position of studying under me and becoming my apprentice," Tsunade smiled at the pinkette after speaking, watching emerald eyes grow wide.
Speechless, Sakura stumbled over to take her chunin vest from Tsunade. Her wide eyes met the proud looks of both of her senseis and a grin finally blossomed on her face. Finally, Tsunade's teal gaze fell on Sasuke and Naruto. She remained quiet for a moment, enjoying watching the two genin trying to refrain from squirming under her stare.
"Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki, both genin of Team Seven."
Both gulped at Tsunade's hard tone.
"It is no secret that both of you have short fuses that are easily ignited during a fight and that can prove fatal," Tsunade voiced seriously and watched both boys glare down at the ground. "Unsurprisingly, that is the opposite effect of the two of you as it makes you both stronger."
Her words had Sasuke's and Naruto's heads whip back up.
"Not only did you both exhibit the necessary skills during your final matches to become chunin, but when our village, your village, was invaded by enemy shinobi, neither of you hesitated to defend your fellow shinobi," Tsunade stated. "Naruto, Sasuke, when your teammates were in danger, you put your life on the line for them without question. So without any hesitation, I, Tsunade Senju, Godaime Hokage, promote the both of you to the rank of chunin. Also, you both have offers of becoming apprentices that is Sasuke, if Yami is good for you and Naruto, if Jiraiya is okay to you?"
Sasuke quickly looked over at his older cousin while Naruto stared at Jiraiya with surprise and glee. Jiraiya's grinned was quickly mirrored by Naruto's and Yami nodded at Sasuke who was standing in disbelief.
"Of course I want to learn more from you, Ero-Sennin (pervy sage)!" Naruto shouted, thrusting a fist in the air before grabbing his chunin vest from Tsunade's desk.
"Grrr! I told you to stop calling me that, Gaki (brat)," Jiraiya growled, but still grinned.
"Does this mean that I'll be able to sign the Arachnid contract?" Sasuke asked, his dark eyes showing off a rare sparkle.
Yami crossed his arms over his chest and smirked at his young cousin. Before he could answer, he felt the familiar tug of a reverse summoning and immediately moved his right hand to the seal on his left forearm, preparing himself to unseal Kumo no Kosho.
