Chapter 96 - 14.2

?: A desperate move, but smart. [We see a flashback of what happened when the grass ninja threw the kunai]

Sasuke: Move Sasuke! You have to move! [Sasuke raised his kunai and stuck it in his leg. Sasuke activated his Sharingan and took Sakura, dodging the kunai by jumping through the trees.]

?: He conquered fear with pain.

The audience is even more surprised to see what Sasuke did to escape from the ninja.

"So that's what he did." Hawks said surprised.

"H...he stabbed himself with the kunai." Hagakure exclaimed in shock.

"So he can overcome fear and react to get himself and Sakura away from that place." Recovery Girl said in surprise. "It was reckless but effective."

"That way he and young Haruno managed to get to safety." All Might said surprised. "That guy is just amazing."

"If I were you, I couldn't even move." Mineta said scared.

?: Wow this dam wasn't so simple after all.

The audience tenses as they hear the "grass ninja".

"That guy is really scary." Komori said terrified.

"The way he talks…" Midoriya said terrified. "It almost seems like he's taking it all as some kind of twisted game."

"Or a test." Yaoyorozu said terrified.

"Because I have a feeling they're right?" Nezu thought terrified.

[Elsewhere, Naruto uses the shadow clone jutsu, which causes the snake to swell and explode, falling to the ground dead and many Narutos emerging from inside.]

Naruto: I'm sorry, but you chose the wrong Shinobi. I'm going to be Hokage one day. If you think I'm going to end up as snake food, you're crazy!

The audience were both happy and disgusted to see how Naruto managed to get out of the snake.

"Uh, Ew!" Several people exclaimed in disgust.

"Disgusting, but effective." Kamikiri said.

"And at least he didn't leave there anywhere else." Tsuburaba said disgusted when he imagined it.

[Elsewhere, Sasuke pulled the kunai out of his leg as his face exploded with pain.]

Sakura: That wound is deep. Will you be okay? [Sasuke covered her mouth]

Sasuke: We have to move, we have to get away, but how? Where to?

"Your concerns are not unfounded." Natsuo said worriedly when he saw Sasuke's wound. "You should treat your wound as soon as possible."

"Even if your circumstances are bad, you should avoid blood loss, or else it will get worse." Recovery Girl said worriedly.

"In your circumstances you should first stay away from that scary guy first, ribbit." Asui said scared.

"Sakura has a valid point there, they have to move away, but how? And where?" Uraraka said worriedly.

"Oh yeah! Blood!" Toga exclaimed, happy to see her, much to the chagrin of the rest of the audience.

Sakura: I've never seen Sasuke like this. It scares me.[Sakura looked back scared and tried to remove Sasuke's hand from her mouth, which she succeeded] Sasuke a snake! [The snake was about to devour them, but they dodged it just in time.]

"Ah! That was too close!" Melissa exclaimed, terrified when she saw how close the snake came to eating Sasuke and Sakura.

"Another giant snake! B…but where do all those snakes come from!?" Mineta exclaimed scared.

"I don't think we want to know, ribbit." Asui said scared.

"Although we had already been told that this forest is full of dangerous man-eating beasts." Shinso said. "And now it is clear to me why it is called Forest of Death."

"That was definitely more than clear." Kaminari said scared.

Sasuke: This can't be happening to me. I never realized, I'm getting tired.

[The snake coiled around the trunk of a tree, Sasuke saw the ninja's face in it.]

Sasuke: Don't walk away! [He kills it by throwing shurikens at the snake. Sakura and Sasuke were surprised to see that same man emerging from the viper's body.]

The audience watches the scene in front of them in horror. They can hardly believe what they are seeing.

"AHH!" Several people exclaimed in terror.

"Th...that man..." Nezu said, terrified at what he sees, seeing that the terrifying ninja seems to have some connection with snakes, which makes him even more terrifying for him.

"S…it came out of that snake's body!" Awase exclaimed in terror.

"And I don't think I want to know how that's possible." Nejire said scared.

?: I feel your fear and desperation. It is natural. Prey should never let their guard down even for a moment in the presence of a predator. [He looked up and stuck out his long tongue, starting to laugh.]

The audience watches the scene in terror. This ninja somehow manages to scare them more and more. His words cause them such great fear that they become paralyzed with fear, especially those who have animal Quirks. Nezu in particular feels a terrible terror because the ninja has a connection with snakes, which are natural predators of mice.

[He launched himself towards a tree, wrapping himself around a tree and went straight towards Sasuke before the terrified gaze of Sasuke and Sakura, but some shuriken and a kunai stopped his steps.]

"Oh jesus!" Shiozaki exclaimed in surprise. "That was too close!"

"They narrowly escaped." Komori said still shaking from what Orochimaru did on screen.

"Is it..." Asked Fuyumi who can already imagine who threw those shuriken and kunai.

"Oh yeah!" Hatsume exclaimed excitedly.

Naruto: Looks like I'm just in time. [Sasuke and Sakura looked at him surprised.]

"Aaah, by the way, can you repeat the password? [Naruto smiled with his arms crossed.]

"YEAH! Naruto is here baby!" Hatsume exclaimed, causing several in the audience (Jiro in particular) to cover their ears.

"While we understand your enthusiasm Hatsume, I would recommend that you try to control it a little." Power Loader lightly scolded his student.

"Yes, Im sorry." Hatsume said slightly embarrassed.

"I understand you girl, it has happened to me too." Kushina said.

"Like all heroes, He arrives at the right time!" Mirio said.

"I really don't understand what Mr. Nighteye saw as funny about your humor." Amajiki said.

"Oh, come on! I'm hilarious!" Mirio replied to the annoyance of some in the audience.

"Although this time there is no doubt that it really is him." Dabi said. "The emo was not wrong when he predicted that he would not remember the password."

"It's true." Spinner said in agreement with him.

"What heroic music! It's really fabulous!" Jiro exclaimed excitedly.

Sakura: Forget it, I know it's you.

"At this point it is already redundant." Bakugo said. "It's obvious it's him."

"He even forgot the password and everything." Fukidashi said.

Sasuke: Naruto, get away from here! What are you believing!? You don't know what you're up against. [Sasuke turned and looked at him] Quick! Get away now while you still can!

"I know the young Uchiha is only trying to protect him, but Naruto won't leave." All Might said both proud of Naruto's courage yet saddened by the possible outcome. "Young Uzumaki is not one to abandon his friends, no matter how bad their circumstances."

"That's what I like about Naruto." Mirio said. "Don't abandon your friends no matter what."

"And his determination not to give up." Nejire said impressed with Naruto.

Kushina on the other hand is proud of her son and his loyalty to his friends.

?: So you were able to escape from my friend, Huh Naruto? Awesome.

Naruto: Now I understand. So it wasn't an ordinary giant viper, that snake was sent by or that, whatever that demon is.

The audience is shocked and scared to hear what the disturbing ninja just said.

"So…then he was the one…?" Uraraka can't finish the sentence.

"Did he send that snake to eliminate Naruto? Yeah, apparently so." Bakugo said angrily.

"Which means he has abilities related to snakes." Midoriya said writing it down in his notebook. "This just confirms it."

"At least it has no relation to frogs or toads." Asui said, somewhat relieved for not being compared to him too, she already has enough with Toad.

"Oh no, this is definitely bad." Nezu thought, terrified by the snakes.

"Snakes were always Orochimaru's animal, so it's not a surprise to me." Kushina thought, annoyed, cracking her fists. "That bastard, I'll settle accounts with him later. How dare he send a snake after my son!?"

Sasuke: He doesn't understand. You have no idea what you are getting into. What should I do?

"Making a plan to escape would be a good idea." Iida said. "In your circumstances it is the best course of action."

"I hate to admit it but yes." Bakugo said to the surprise of the rest of the audience. "Why the hell are you extras looking at me!? Even I know that they have everything against them!" Although he will never want to admit it, he feels completely afraid and intimated with Orochimaru like he never felt before.

"You know things are bad when even Bakugo recommends retreating, ribbit." Asui said scared.

Naruto: Okay. I don't know what's going on here, but you've been bothering my friends and I don't like that! So I'd better drag you snake man into your hole before I make some shoes with you!

Sasuke: Little idiot, the only thing that will get us all killed is that I have to do something, but what?

Sakura: Sasuke?

"Although your lack of fear is admirable, you really should get away from that ninja as soon as possible." Komori said scared.

"The emo is not wrong, so the only thing he will achieve is for that creepy guy to kill all three of them!" Mineta exclaimed in terror.

"Let's just hope they can get to safety somehow." Yanagi said worriedly, while Shiozaki prays for the safety of team 7.

Sasuke: It's useless, there's only one way. [Sasuke deactivated his Sharingan.]

The audience were shocked to see what Sasuke did.

"What!?" Several people exclaim in surprise.

"Why dod you deactivate your Sharingan?! Did he…?" Uraraka asked, before she can say anything else she sees what Sasuke lights up.

Sasuke: I'll give it to you. [Naruto and Sakura looked at him surprised. Sasuke took the scroll out of his bag.] Is the scroll what you want? Then take it and leave us alone.

Naruto: Sasuke, did you go crazy? How are we going to give him the scroll just like that? No sir! What the hell is wrong with you?

Sasuke: Shut up and stay out of the way!

The audience is shocked to see what Sasuke is doing and Naruto's refusal to hand over the scroll.

"He's going to give them the scroll." Hagakure said surprised.

"Maybe that's a good idea, so he will leave them alone." Fuyumi said.

"No, that's the worst thing they can do." Dabi said.

"What?! But why?!" Ashido asked in surprise.

"Because we know how villains work, and once he has what he wants from them he will eliminate them without further ado." Shigaraki said, scaring the audience greatly.

"I hate to admit it but they're right." Naomasa said. "Once he no longer needs anything from them he will eliminate them, and I have no doubt that guy is capable of that."

"Damn! This is really bad!" Kaminari exclaimed worried.

?: Very astute and very sensible. [A snake is seen near a bird's nest] Sometimes the prey is defenseless when they want to save their skins. [The birds began to fly around the snake] They realize that the only hope is to distract the predator with something more valuable.

The audience becomes even more tense upon hearing these words from Orochimaru.

"If there was any doubt that he was going to leave them alone…" Natsuo said terrified.

"Definitely not." Vlad said worried about team 7.

"The way this guy talks…" Koji said disgusted. "It's just creepy. Not just because he thinks of himself as a predator."

"There's no doubt about it. That guy is someone who gives a new definition to the word creepy, ribbit." Asui said scary.

"That monster is the scariest villain I have ever seen!" Aoyama exclaimed in terror. "And I have seen many monsters." He thought in horror as he took a quick look at All for One.

"He is definitely someone very interesting yes." All for One thought with a pang of envy for his terrifying presence, plus something about him reminds him a little of himself.

Sasuke: Take it. [Sasuke threw the scroll at him before Naruto's surprised look and he rushed towards the scroll, catching it.]

The audience were greatly surprised to see that Naruto caught the scroll.

"He caught it!" Mineta exclaimed surprised. "He stopped the emo from giving it to that guy!"

"It was the best thing he could have done." Kurogiri said. "As we already said before, it is extremely unlikely that that guy will let them live even with the scroll in his possession."

"In their circumstances it would be best to flee." Hawks said thoughtfully. "Even though it is difficult, it is better than facing him."

"This guy is on another level." Mandalay said worriedly. "He's even more dangerous than Zabuza, they should avoid him at all costs!"

Sasuke: Enough acting like a hero! Don't get involved in this! Leave it to me. [Naruto turned and punched Sasuke in the face as Sakura looked scared.]

The audience froze in their seats at what happened.

"Oh yeah! Blood!" Toga exclaimed happily, much to the chagrin of the rest of the audience.

"I hate it when people act like heroes. " Shigaraki said, annoyed with the idea of heroes. "Although in this case it goes further than that. Nothing guarantees that he will let them live, Why didn't he want to give it to him?"

"I guess he clings to that hope no matter how vain it may be." Mr. Compress said. "That guy was interested in them from the beginning, so I don't think it's the scroll he wants."

"Why do you say that?!" Kaminari asked surprised turning to face Mr. Compress.

"I think he's right." Nezu said remembering the ninja's previous scenes. "He passed that kunai to the instructor for a reason other than giving her back her kunai, and when he talked to his teammates he said that they would go after those brats, who I now believe were specifically team 7." The audience is shocked to hear this.

"So that means…?" Kendo said surprised. "He was after them from the beginning?"

"So it seems, ribbit." Asui said surprised and scared. "I don't know what he wants from them, but it's definitely not good."

"Whatever it is we'll probably find out." Yaoyorozu said worriedly.

Kushina on the other hand is extremely worried about whatever Orochimaru wants from his son and his friends, although she has a rough idea of what he wants, which worries her even more.

Sasuke: Stupid! You do not know what are you doing.

Naruto: I don't know the password, but I do know who I am. You are the one who distrusted. How do we know it's really you?

Sakura: What are you talking about? Don't be clumsy!

Sasuke: What inconsistency is that? I am mediocre.

"Hey!" Several in the audience exclaimed, surprised by this.

"What's that about?! Of course that's emo!" Bakugo exclaims.

"He even has the Sharigan, there is no way he is an imposter." Iida said thoughtfully. "Not to say that deceiving them now makes no sense. How come Naruto doesn't realize that?

Naruto: Liar! Liar! You may look like him, you may even sound like him, but there is no way you are the Sasuke I know. I don't care how hard your battle was. Surrender? Hand over the scroll? When did Sasuke become a coward? You insist that I don't understand, but you're blocked, right?

The audience were shocked to hear Naruto's words.

"It seems that Sasuke is not the only one who has managed to get to know his teammate better. Naruto has also managed to learn a lot about Sasuke." Melissa smiled.

"You're not really wrong." Dabi said. "Even what we saw of emo, he is someone completely determined to get what he wants, no matter what." Something I totally respect and understand."

"And the way he's acting is not something he would do under normal circumstances." Awase said. "Although this is far from the case."

"So that's it." Aizawa said surprised when he saw what Naruto was doing. "He's trying to get Sasuke to reconsider and not give up even if his opponent surpasses them and scares them."

"That is certainly admirable of the young Uzumaki." All Might said. "Although I wouldn't recommend a confrontation with that guy, but giving him the scroll isn't an option either."

"The best thing they can do is get as far away from that guy as you can." Nezu said, still afraid of Orochimaru.

?: Sad but true. It does not matter. [He lifts the sleeve of his shirt, revealing a mark on his arm.]

The audience becomes tense when they see what Orochimaru is doing and their concern for Team 7 grows.

"What the hell is that thing on his arm?!" Kaminari asked scared.

"Whatever it is, it's not good." Mineta said scared.

"Please God help them." Rezo Shiozaki worried about the safety of team 7.

?: As long as you have the scroll, all I have to do is kill you and take it [He bites his thumb and draws a line of blood on his arm.]

The audience becomes even more scared when they hear Orochimaru and see what he is doing.

"Oh, I like what you're doing!" Toga exclaimed happily upon seeing the blood, much to the disgust of the rest of the audience, mainly the students.

Naruto: Let's see you try! [Naruto ran towards the direction of his enemy.]

Sasuke: No, Naruto!

Naruto: Forget Sasuke, I'm going to do this myself.

?: Invocation jutsu. [He made some hand seals and there was a blizzard and then he found himself on top of a huge snake.]

Sakura: [Scared] Naruto [The snake attacked Naruto, but he dodged it.]

The audience is very scared when they see what is happening on the screen.

"Ahh!" Several people exclaimed in fear.

"It's A…a giant snake again!" Eri exclaimed, terrified when she saw it, Mirio hugged her to comfort her.

"One more!? B…but how many snakes does that guy have?!" Mineta asked terrified.

"A lot it seems, ribbit." Asui said covering her eyes.

"So that guy has a contract to summon snakes." Midoriya said while writing this information down in his notebook. "That explains a lot of things."

Nezu nods silently, because he is very intimidated by Orochimaru and the snakes.

[In another part of the village, a statue of a Buddha was filled with blood.]

Ninja 1: That's no way to treat a Buddha.

Ninja 2: What do you think, some kind of Ninjutsu, right?

Ninja 3: Hmm whatever, it's a problem.

Ninja 2: Just now that things were going so well, this is a bother. [The corpse of 3 of the participants is seen.]

Ninja 3: We have to report this, bring the sensor.

Ninjas 1: Sure. [Disappearing from the place.]

The audience is surprised to see the change of scene and wonder what happened in that place.

"What the hell!?" Bakugo exclaimed in surprise. "What happened there!?"

"Those are corpses!" Sero exclaimed, horrified.

"But who killed them?! And why?!" Nejire asked in surprise.

"This is getting worse and worse!" Kaminari exclaimed in fear, as did the rest of the audience.

"Did he do what I think he did?" Kushina thought displeased.

[On the outskirts of the forest of death, Anko was having lunch. One of the ninjas we saw earlier appears in front of her.]

Ninja: Excuse me, there's a problem.

Anko: What kind of problem?

Ninja: Corpses, three appeared.

Anko: Hey, I'm eating.

Ninja: I think you'll want to see them. They have something strange on their bodies.

Anko: Besides being dead?

The audience is surprised and scared even more when they hear these words, about the victims having something strange besides being dead.

"Something extreme? Besides being dead?" Yanagi asked strangely.

"B…but what could that be?" Komori asked terrified.

"Whatever it is, it is something bad and worrying." Yaoyorozu said scared like the rest of the audience.

"This is getting worse and worse every moment!" Kaminari said scared. "I can't even imagine things getting even worse."

"Kaminari!" Jiro exclaimed to his surprise.

"W…what?!" Kaminari asked surprised.

"You just messed it up! You never say that!" Jiro yelled.

"Oh guys, you have no idea." Felicity thought that she knows perfectly well everything that will happen and how bad it will be.

[Anko arrived at the scene seeing the bodies.]

Ninja: I already searched through his things and found his IDs. They were three ninjas from the Grass village. The three were registered for the Chunnin exams and were killed.

Anko: Their faces... They're gone.

Ninja: Yes. There's nothing where their faces should be, like they've melted.

The audience is left in horrified shock to hear that the dead ninjas' faces are missing, and wonder what could have happened to them to end up like this.

"Ahh!" Several people exclaimed in fear.

"T...their faces..." Uraraka said, stopping herself from vomiting.

"T…they're not there!" Hagakure exclaimed, disgusted and horrified. "B…but how is something like that possible?!"

"Apparently in that world there is a jutsu or something that allows something like that." Yaoyorozu said disgusted. "Though I don't understand the purpose of that."

"What a disgusting thing!" Nejire exclaimed in disgust as did the rest of the audience.

"One moment!" Iida exclaimed making a robotic cut. "That ninja said that the dead people are ninjas from the Grass village, do they have any relationship with the guy Naruto and the rest are fighting with?!" The rest of the audience is surprised to realize this fact.

"It's possible that this is what Tenya is like." Midoriya said while writing in his notebook. "I'm not entirely sure, but I wouldn't rule it out."

"There is no doubt, that Jutsu is his." Kushina thought worried.

Anko: [Furious] There is no doubt. This is his Jutsu.[Anko touched her neck as an image of a man with a snake appeared in her mind] Why is he here? Why did you come to the Chunnin Exams?

The audience is even more confused by what they are seeing on the screen, and now a new concern is added.

"Ehh!? Hold on, if he isn't one of them the who is that man?" Kendo said worriedly. "And why is he there?!"

"Is this… the guy Naruto and the rest of Team 7 are fighting against?!" Yanagi asked scared, as did the rest of the audience.

"Whoever this is, this is bad, ribbit." Asui said scared.

Anko: Let's see, I need photos of what these three looked like. Their IDs.

Ninja: Here they are. [He gives him the three IDs and we can see that one of them is the ninja who is facing team seven.]

The audience feels great fear when seeing that one of the dead ninjas is the one currently fighting against team 7.

"Ahh!" Several people exclaimed in fear.

"It's that guy!" Uraraka exclaimed, surprised to see that he is one of the dead ninjas. "B…but, if he is dead, who is team 7 fighting against?!" Melissa asked fearfully.

"Against someone extremely dangerous." Kushina said, worrying the audience even more.

"That guy scares me more and more. The more we learn about him the worse it gets." Awase said scared.

"I'm really glad he doesn't exist in our world." Mineta said, terrified as he imagined it, like the rest of the audience.

"Oh, you have no idea. If he existed in this world he would rule it without you realizing it." Felicity said. "Although it's not exactly what you're looking for, but oh well."

"That sounds like something you would do!" All Might said, glaring at All For One.

"What can I say? Like everyone, I have goals to achieve, and it seems that there are others who want the same as me." All for One shrugged, much to the annoyance of the heroes and students. "This guy causes me more and more interest. I can't wait to learn more about him."

Midoriya writes down everything he is learning in his notebook.

Anko: So this is the face he stole. This had already happened when... [Anko remembers her encounter with the long-tongued ninja] We have a big problem. We have to hurry. Inform the third Hokage what is happening here, and while there, tell the ANBU special hunters to send a couple of convoys to the forest of death. While I will go after these people. Now go. [The ninjas obey his orders and disappear] He's here. It is in the leaf village. [Anko touched part of her neck again.]

The audience becomes even more worried and scared when they see all this.

"So…so that guy, whoever he is, killed those guys to steal their faces!?" Ashido exclaimed in fear.

"H…how creepy!" Uraraka exclaimed in fear, like the rest of the audience.

"I never thought it was possible to do something so horrible." Yaoyorozu said. "Although I don't know why he did that, he could change shape with the Transformation Jutsu."

"But who is that guy? He must be someone very dangerous if they notify the Hokage and the ANBU." Iida said surprised and worried by these facts.

"That is a good observation young Iida." All Might said, worried. "That guy must be an extremely dangerous criminal if they react that way."

"Oh shit, this is definitely bad!" Kodai exclaimed scared.

"Oh you have no idea how bad it is. It's really still hard for me to believe that Orochimaru has fallen so low. It always seemed a little strange to me, but I never thought I would be able to do something like that." Kushina thought worried.

[We return to the forest where team 7 continues facing the ninja]

?: What a tasty appetizer you are going to be. Doesn't it bother you that he likes to play with his food? [The snake hit the trunk where Naruto was standing, destroying it.

Sasuke and Sakura: NARUTO! [Naruto falls and hits a tree trunk, spitting out blood and then begins to fall.]

?: Enough games. Finish with him. [Naruto opened his eyes, having them red with slanted pupils.]

The students screamed when they see what is happening on the screen. Seeing Naruto again in that state causes deep fear in everyone.

"As if things weren't bad enough." Makoto said worried.

"Th…those eyes!" Asui exclaimed scared. "It's happening again!"

"It's the same thing that happened in Land of Waves." Midnight said worriedly. "The fox is taking control."

"Naruto Hulk!" Katsuma exclaimed, worried and scared.

"It's really scary to see him in that state!" Komori exclaimed scared. "And on top of that this time Kakashi is not there to contain him."

"I don't even know which is worse, that guy or the fox." Sero said scared.

"Does it matter!? They are both equally bad Cellofan!" Bakugo exclaimed. "I just hope he can get rid of that guy."

"This is a really bad thing." Hawks said worriedly. "They are between a subject dangerous enough that the Hokage and the ANBU must be notified, and a highly dangerous creature like that fox."

"Please god help them." Rezo Shiozaki worried. "Don't let a tragedy happen."

"This is definitely not good." Kushina thought worried.

Naruto: Hyaah! [Naruto kicked the snake hard in the head and we see a close-up of its red eyes with slit pupils.]

?: What great power. It is impossible. [Naruto began to hit the snake several times.]

"His strength in that state is truly incredible." Honenuki said impressed. "We had seen it before, but still…"

"Even so, that guy, whoever he is, remains calm." Iida said surprised. "As if he has everything under control."

"It doesn't matter how much that guy believes in himself." Bakugo said annoyed. "Sooner or later he will fall like all villains!" The villains upon hearing this roll their eyes.

Sakura: [Surprised] How incredible, he went crazy. Where could he have gotten so much power from?

"Oh right, they hadn't seen him in that state in the Land of Waves and they don't know what the jinchuriki is either." Tokage said. "It's the first time they've seen him like this."

"Probably at least Sakura felt it, but only now can she identify that it was Naruto." Kendo said, to which the rest of the audience nods in agreement with this theory.

"I hope they don't reject him for that." Toga said, worried by the idea of Sasuke and Sakura rejecting Naruto or seeing him as dangerous for something he didn't choose.

"Let's hope not, Toga." Spinner said, the rest of the audience shares his concern, but they didn't say anything.

"Fortunately that didn't happen." Kushina thought, relieved at the fact that her son's friends didn't reject him.

[Naruto lunged at the snake again, while his enemy had thrown a fireball at him. Naruto fell and crashed into the trunks of the trees until he was unconscious in one of the trees.]

The audience is surprised to see that Orochimaru can fight without flinching against Naruto even in that state and are also concerned to see that Naruto was greatly affected by the attack.

"Please Naruto, get up!" Katsuma exclaimed worriedly, his sister hugged him to try to ease his worry.

?: That look of fire, there's no doubt about it.

Sasuke: What? Is it really Naruto?

"Wait what!?" Iida exclaimed, surprised when he saw Orochimaru's reaction. "Does he know what Naruto is?!"

"So it seems." Midoriya said surprised, although he still does not write anything down on the ninja page he has because he is not entirely sure if he knows anything about Naruto or not. "Although I have no idea how that's possible, since neither Zabuza nor Haku seemed to know anything about it."

"From what we saw only the adults of Konoha knew about Naruto being the fox's jinchuriki, due to the Hokage's decree, and it makes sense that they wouldn't divulge it to other villages." Yaoyorozu said thoughtfully. "Which means that guy might be someone from Konoha."

The audience was greatly surprised to hear this.

"That's actually a good theory." Nezu said. "That would also explain why Anko seems to know who he is."

"B…but, if it's someone from the village, why is he attacking them?!" Kaminari asked confused.

"I have no idea." Asui said scared. "But they may reveal it to us later, ribbit."

?: Things are getting interesting. So let's see how you do Sasuke. [The snake quickly approached Sasuke who could not move due to fear.]

Sakura: [Terrified] Sasuke!

Sasuke: [Terrified] Aaah!

The audience gets very scared when they see what is happening on the screen.

"Ahh!" Several people exclaimed in fear.

"Now your target is Sasuke!" Yanagi exclaimed worried.

"Oh my God!" Shiozaki exclaimed scared. "That guy… whoever he is, he's too annoying!"

[In another place, Anko was jumping between the trees.]

Anko: This can get worse. I have to hurry... and pray that it's not too late.

The audience tenses seeing Anko and her nervousness on the screen.

"Yes please. Let it arrive as soon as possible!" Awase exclaimed scared.

"You know the situation is bad when you see his reaction." Present Mic said worriedly, as did the rest of the audience.

[Naruto blocks the snake's attack by stabbing it with a kunai before the surprised look of Sasuke and Sakura.]

Naruto: Hey, aren't you hurt? Really scaredy cat? [Sasuke's eyes widened as he saw Naruto's red eyes.]

Sasuke: Naruto. [We see the flashback of the mission to Land of Waves where Sasuke asks Naruto the same thing]

"Well, he finally gave it back to him." Kaminari said somewhat surprised by this.

"Yeah." Mineta said also surprised. "Although I take back what I said. "I'm really not enjoying this like I thought I would."

Naruto: Stand there like a scared rabbit? No sir, you are not the Sasuke I know.

[Naruto was held by his arms by his enemy's tongue before the surprised gaze of his companions.]

Naruto: Hey no! Gross! Put me down before I tear your tongue out!

The audience is shocked and horrified to see what is happening on the screen.

"Ahhh!" Several people exclaimed, scared at what they were seeing.

"He held him with his tongue!" Asui exclaimed, scared and disgusted when she saw that the disturbing ninja and her shared one thing, this is at least a little better than with Toad since unlike him, the ninja has no relationship with frogs or toads, but with snakes.

"That guy…" Melissa said scared. "Even with Naruto in that state he can do that like nothing!"

"He is much stronger than Zabuza and Haku without a doubt." Hawks said worriedly.

"Fuck!" Bakugo exclaimed annoyed, he had never seen a villain like this in his life, who paralyzed him with fear. It's a much worse feeling than AFO.

?: Extraordinary so the nine-tailed brat lives. [Making some hand seals] I see. When his anger is uncontrollable, a little of the nine-tailed fox's Chakra is released. [His fingers began to have a purple Chakra.]

The audience is shocked to hear Orochimaru's words.

"This confirms that this guy, whoever he is, knows that Naruto is the fox's jinchuriki." Thirteen said worriedly, as did the rest of the audience.

"And it also confirms the fact that the seal weakens when Naruto gets angry, in a similar way to the Hulk." Midoriya said while writing in his notebook.

"Yes, that's just part of the fox's Chakra, I don't want to know what happens if even more Chakra is released." Awase said scared.

"That surely is something extremely bad and dangerous." Asui said scared.

"It is." Kushina said, worrying the audience even more, since Naruto in that state is already quite dangerous and they can't imagine that he could be even more so.

?: Wow, you must have had an interesting childhood. [Lifts his tracksuit with his tongue while a seal appears on his stomach.]

"Interesting is one way to put it." Spinner said annoyed as he remembered Naruto's hard life.

"B…but what is he doing?!" Ashido exclaimed, scared when she saw what Orochimaru was doing.

"Whatever it is, it's a bad thing." Komori said scared.

?: The spell that sealed it in you appeared on your skin. Five point seal. [He raised his hand hitting him on his stomach, other seals appearing on the one he already had on his stomach.]

Sakura: Sasuke, quickly do something! [Sasuke had been shocked.]

[Naruto's eyes returned to normal and he fell unconscious.]

The audience was greatly scared to see what Orochimaru is doing.

"Ahh!" Several people exclaim in fear.

"What is he doing to him!?" Fuyumi exclaimed in terror.

"5 point seal? What's that?" Bakugo asked confused by this.

"It is a jutsu through which the user can create a seal capable of blocking or disturbing the flow of Chakra of his target. What that ninja did by concentrating the Chakra in his fingers and then hitting Naruto's stomach which is where he wanted to place it. "Once the seal is completed, the person becomes unconscious for a long period of time." Kushina explained worriedly to the surprise of the rest of the audience.

"Wow." Midoriya said while writing in his notebook.

"So that means, he will no longer be able to summon the fox Chakra?" Yaoyorozu asked.

"Indeed." Kushina said.

"Oh wow." Kodai said surprised. "Although at times like this I don't know if it's a good or bad thing that he can no longer access the fox's chakra."

?: For twelve years the seal had remained sealed. Soon the Chakra of the demon and the child will be one.[Taking the scroll out of his bag.] But for now, you're just a nuisance. [Tossing it with his tongue.]

"What does that mean?" Midoriya asked confused by this fact.

"You will see it later." Felicity said, much to the annoyance of the rest of the audience, although they understand that it will probably be revealed later, so they return their attention to the screen.

Sakura: There's no way I'll survive. This will do. [Sakura threw a kunai in Naruto's direction, holding him to the trunk of a tree so that he wouldn't continue falling] Sasuke? What about you? [Sasuke still didn't respond much to Sakura's concern] Hey! Say what you want about Naruto. That he's a brat, that he's a nuisance, that he's just a child, but at least he's doing something! At least he's not a coward!

"Thank goodness she, at least she was able to avoid the fall." Nejire said relieved upon seeing this.

"Yeah." Asui said. "Although the situation is still bad."

"Especially with Sasuke." Hagakure said worriedly. "Sakura is at least trying to do something, but he is paralyzed by fear."

"It's good to see that the girl has been able to grow and understand her teammate better." Midnight said proudly.

The villains for their part (Shigaraki in particular) do not say anything, they reflect a little on Sakura and the progress, and recognize that there has been a small change in her, although there is still a long way to go.

[Sasuke closed his eyes while a man appeared in his mind with his back turned, showing only the color of his eyes.]

?: Silly little brother, you can't kill me. Your hate is not that strong. You're not that strong. You appreciate your life too much. So run! And live with shame.

"Sasuke's brother, whoever he is, is a horrible person." Makoto said displeased. "Telling him something like that after wiping out his entire family!"

"That guy is definitely a psychopath." Iida said extremely displeased. The rest of the audience shares the sentiment as they can't imagine what kind of twisted being Sasuke's brother must be to murder his entire family and act that way.

Kushina on the other hand is sad because she knows perfectly well everything that happened with Itachi.

Sasuke: No. [I activate his Sharingan.]

?: Mmm it's finally happening. Finally, his Uchiha blood boils.

"Good!" Katsuma exclaims when he sees that Sasuke regained his will to fight. "That's Sasuke!"

"That guy…" Hawks said, looking at him suspiciously. "It almost seems like it's what I expected."

"Do you think that was what I was looking for, teacher? Sasuke?" Tokoyami asked his mentor.

"It seems to be the case." Aizawa said, the rest of the audience is worried when they hear him, and they wonder what intentions this guy has with Sasuke.

"Oh, this is certainly interesting. And that's just what I would do. That boy has great power, one that I wish I could add to my collection." All for One thought, increasingly interested not only in the Sharingan, but also in the ninja that Team 7 is fighting.

Sakura: That's much better.

?: [Smiles] I'll play with him a little, and I'll be able to see the magnitude of his powers. [There was an explosion of smoke and the snake disappeared from its place.]

"P…play?! Has he been doing that all this time?!" Mineta exclaimed, surprised and scared.

"So it seems." Asui said surprised and scared. "All this time he was testing them, and it wasn't even with all his power."

"Yes, this was a game for him, I don't even want to imagine what all his power is!" Komori exclaimed scared.

"Especially considering he fought Sasuke using the Sharingan and Naruto in his fox-Hulk state." Yanagi said scared.

Sasuke: I've only worried about surviving. [Sasuke took out a kunai and held it in his mouth.] With the goal of defeating my brother. What a fool I have been. Now I see the truth Naruto! Sakura! If I don't have the courage to face this demon, how do I expect to be able to face him?

"So that's his motivation." Dabi said, happy to see that Sasuke hasn't abandoned his goal of revenge. "I really like this guy." The rest of the audience (except for the villains obviously.) are somewhat upset by this as they think that Sasuke should not pursue revenge. Iida in particular identifies to a certain extent with him, because he also experienced a thirst for revenge after Stain attacked his brother, but thanks to his friends he was able to reconsider and see the error of this, in addition to serving as a lesson to improve. as a hero and a person, and hopes that Sasuke can do the same.

[Sasuke ran towards his enemy, throwing some kunai, being dodged by the ninja. Sasuke lunged at him and threw some kicks at him, each one dodged. The ninja kicked him, but it was dodged by Sasuke. The ninja ran to where Sasuke was, who did the same, kicking and punching him, each one being blocked by his enemy. Sasuke turned to kick him, but the ninja jumped back dodging his attack. Sasuke turned around, but the ninja ran away quickly and Sasuke tried to follow him, seeing everything around him.]

Sasuke: I can see it! [He throws a fireball at him, then inhales and throws a huge fireball again while his enemy kept his arms in the shape of a cross protecting himself.]

The audience is surprised to see the fight between Sasuke and Orochimaru.

"I…impressive." Shoji says surprised, he can barely believe what he is seeing.

"Sasuke is very skilled." Kendo said impressed with his skill.

"His fire techniques are incredible." Shoto said impressed as well as his brothers.

"That other ninja is also very strong and fast." Iida said in amazement. "And to think he's holding back."

[Sasuke jumped back when he saw that his enemy had crawled underground.]

Sasuke: He is good. He anticipates my attacks and is accurate. He can see my movements,It is not like this?

The audience gets tense when they see this, especially because they know that the ninja is just playing with him and testing the extent of his abilities, although they don't know why this is, but whatever it is it's a bad thing. So far they have more questions than certainties about this mysterious and disturbing ninja and they hope to learn more soon.

[Anko continued jumping in the trees until she was standing in one of the trees.]

Anko: The sun is setting. I have to find him soon. My odds are bad enough without it getting even worse in the dark. But why now? Why couldn't it be later? Well, it doesn't matter, it's already here. It's time to end this.

Everyone's tension increases after seeing this.

"Does she know that guy?" Mandalay asked. "From her reaction it would seem to be the case. Not to mention that she seems to be very concerned about his presence there."

"Well, she have plenty of reasons to be worried with that guy." All Might said, extremely worried about Team 7.

"Please god, help them." Shiozaki is worried about Team 7, who is facing someone extremely dangerous.

[The ninja launched a wave of wind destroying a part of the tree and being dodged by Sasuke. Sasuke stood under the branch of a tree and rushed towards his enemy, hugging him around the waist, falling to the ground, who hit his head from the impact while Sasuke continued to cling to him.]

Some in the audience are happy to see this and are excited to think that Sasuke was able to defeat the terrifying ninja, while others keep their guard up because they know that the ninja would not be defeated so easily.

[Sasuke jumped back seeing the body of his enemy that was turning into mud.]

Sasuke: [Surprised] Substitution! [A kunai passed close to his cheek, cutting him so that later several kunai began to be thrown at where Sasuke was, each one being dodged by him. Sasuke threw himself down, pulling out a thread and holding on to a branch. He turned and fell on one of the branches. When he looked ahead, he realized that his enemy was coming towards him, hitting him in the face, and then hitting him in the back. stomach, a knee to the face and another blow to the face, falling to the ground.]

"Ahh!" Several people exclaimed, terrified at what they were seeing.

"The substitution jutsu!" Iida exclaimed when he saw what the ninja had done. "Good heavens! That jutsu can be very useful, but at the same time dangerous in the wrong hands."

"Like transformation, ribbit." Asui said.

"Oh no!" Yanagi exclaimed worriedly as she saw how the ninja attacked Sasuke.

"That villain is far superior to the young Uchiha." All Might said worried about Team 7, frustrated by the fact that he couldn't intervene to help them.

Sakura: Sasuke.

?: What a disappointment you have turned out to be. [Sees Sasuke lying on the ground.] Your ancestors would cry. The Uchiha clan should thank me for killing you… you silly little worm.

The audience becomes very worried and scared seeing what is happening on the screen, and by the fact that the terrifying ninja was going to kill Sasuke. Midoriya, Mirio, Mandalay and Pixie Bob prepare to cover the children's eyes if necessary.

[Sasuke opened his eyes, while behind the ninja's back something had exploded causing him to fall to the ground, Sasuke jumps back and throws some shuriken with threads at him, leaving him cornered.]

"Oh yeah!" Hatsume exclaims excitedly. "Sasuke is still here!"

"Emo, now that he has regained his courage, will not be defeated so easily." Bakugo said.

"Easy!? He is facing a monster!" Kaminari exclaimed scared.

"That boy's skills are fascinating. Rarely do you see so much power in someone, especially someone so young."All for one thought, fascinated by what he is seeing. "I understand this guy perfectly, whoever he is. Maybe I should take notes from him.'

"Oh yeah! That heroic song again!" Jiro exclaimed excitedly. "It's always great to hear her!"

?: Incredible, a triple windmill Sharingan attack.[Sasuke moved the strings holding him, leaving him trapped in a tree while he tried to move, and then Sasuke was seen performing some hand seals.]

Sasuke: Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu. [A huge amount of fire was created that was directed towards the enemy ninja and was even able to pass through the tree.]

The audience is shocked and marveled at the power and abilities of Sasuke, particularly a certain student and his brothers.

"Awesome!" Katsuma exclaimed excitedly upon seeing Sasuke's attack.

"What an impressive technique." Shoto said impressed. "I want to try something like that."

"He was even able to get through that tree." Midoriya said in amazement as he wrote down in his notebook.

Dabi, for his part, looks in amazement at the technique and decides to try it too, since he recognizes that it is a great move with which to burn Endeavor alive.

Sakura: He did it...

[The fire technique disappeared as Sasuke breathed heavily.]

Sakura: Sasuke, you did it. Are you okay? [Sees her exhausted companion] Don't worry, it's all over.

"Over?! Really?!" Ashido asked.

"Hopefully!" Hagakure said.

"There is no need to declare victory yet." Aizawa said looking suspiciously. "That guy won't go down easily."

"As much as I hate to admit it, you're right Shota." Present Mic said worriedly.

[The ninja let go of the threads and began to make some hand seals, Sakura falls to the ground without being able to get up and Sasuke was the same as her.]

Sakura: No, impossible.

The audience is horrified to see that the ninja was not defeated even though they know it was too good to be true, especially if Naruto in his Hulk form with the Fox Chakra couldn't do much.

?: A lot of mastery with your Sharingan for your age. You are a real Uchiha after all [Part of his face had come off and we can see white skin and an eye very similar to that of a snake, plus his voice changes to a more terrifying one.]

"O-okay, like it wasn't scary enough before, now it's much scarier!" Mineta exclaimed, scared at what he was seeing on the screen.

"H-his eyes." Awase said terrified. "It's like looking…"

"At a snake..." Nezu whimpered, never in his entire life had he felt so frightened and helpless over a villain, a feeling he loathed with all his being.

"He's the scariest villain I've ever seen!" Katsuma exclaimed in terror, to which the rest of the audience nodded in agreement because they agreed with the fact that Orochimaru is the scariest villain they have seen so far, not even the alien at the end of Avengers emitted such a terrifying aura and a similar murderous intent.

The villains (specifically All for One) were really becoming very interested with this guy, since they have never seen anything like this, not even AFO can be as intimidating as this guy. Not to mention the fact that until now the ninja has been holding back and they want to see his full power.

"This is really interesting. I never thought I would have so much competition. First the alien from Avengers and now this." All for One thought.

?: Yes, you will be perfect. It's obvious that you are his brother. [The ninja moves the hand of his Headband, revealing the sound symbol. Sasuke tried to move but stopped when he heard that.] Maybe your eyesight is sharper than Itachi's.

The audience is greatly surprised to hear the ninja's words, since they did not expect him to say something like that, in addition to the fact that he is wearing a sound headband.

"So that's the name of Sasuke's brother." Midoriya said while writing it down in his notebook.

"Itachi... Uchiha." Iida said thoughtfully. "So that's the name of the monster that massacred his entire clan."

"But… does that mean that whoever this guy is knows him? And from where?" Yaoyorozu asked, surprising the audience after realizing this fact.

"That is a good question young Yaoyorozu." All Might said. "Hopefully those questions will be answered in the future."

"It's not that strange either." Bakugo said annoyed. "A monster like that guy would surely know someone like that."

"On the other hand, that guy is from the sound village!?" Jiro exclaimed, surprised when she noticed it.

"We don't know, maybe he stole someone else's face." Melissa said.

"Eww! That is so horrible and disgusting!" Hagakure exclaimed, disgusted when she remembered it.

Sasuke: Who are you? what do you want?

?: My name is Orochimaru, but as for what I want I will wait until we meet again. Which will not happen until you have finished this exam with the best grade. [The scroll he had taken from Naruto began to burn.]

Sakura: The scroll.

"So that's this man's name." Midoriya said while writing it down in his notebook.

"Orochimaru, I will definitely remember that name." All for One said.

All Might grumbled something, disgusted with his nemesis, although he internally recognized that he would not forget Orochimaru either.

"H…-he burnt the scroll!" Uraraka exclaimed in surprise.

"How are they gonna pass the exam if the parchment is gone now!?" Iida exclaimed making a robotic cut.

"How could I understand a disturbed villain like that!" Bakugo exclaimed, much to the annoyance of the yelled in rage.

Orochimaru: But first you will have to defeat the sound ninja who is hidden and who serves me.

"So this guy Orochimaru is not only from the Sound village, but he also seems to be the boss of at least those who are taking the chunin exam." Midnight said worried about this turn of events.

"This is definitely bad." Haws said worriedly. "The situation was already critical with this guy, but now there are additional enemies to worry about."

"The situation just got even more complicated." Tokoyami said worriedly.

"Tch, whatever way they will defeat those villains!" Bakugo yelled hiding his fear.

"So how do they defeat this guy. Dyna-idiot guy?" Toga teased doing a creepy grin.

"Shut up you crazy bitch! Sooner or later all villains will fall! Just like you and your loser friends!" Bakugo exclaimed furiously.

"Whatever you say." Dabi said without care.

Sakura: I have no idea what you're talking about, but if you're done, why don't you just attack? If we will never see each other again.

Orochimaru: You and I will meet again. [Orochimaru made some hand seals, stretching his neck and then biting Sasuke's neck.]

The audience is greatly horrified and scared to see that Orochimaru bit Sasuke's neck.

"Ahhh!" Several people exclaimed in terror.

"He…bit him!" Eri exclaimed in terror, Orochimaru makes her very afraid, partly because for some reason he reminds her of Overhaul. Mirio hugs her to comfort her.

"Why!? Fuyumi exclaimed in horror.

"Whatever it is is a bad thing." Natsuo said horrified.

"And why do I have a bad feeling about this?" Melissa said thinking about Orochimaru's sayings.

"Unfortunately you are not wrong." Kushina said saddened because she knows that Sasuke is going to end up joining Orochimaru in his quest for power to get revenge on Itachi.

"But that's a story for another time." Felicity said to avoid spoilers, much to the audience's concern.

"What kind of technique was that?! He did something to him, but what?" Midoriya thought, worried about Sasuke.

"So Orochimaru has interest in the Uchiha boy. No wonder considering his power, potential, and inner darkness. He's doing something I would do." All for One thought, surprised when he realized this.

Sakura: Sasuke, no [Orochimaru stopped biting him and returned his head to normal, while a mark in the shape of three tomoes emerged from Sasuke's neck.]

"What is that thing!?" asked several in the audience, horrified at seeing the mark that had appeared on Sasuke's neck.

"You will learn later." Felicity said. Midoriya, for his part, draws the strange mark in his notebook.

Sakura: [Worried] Sasuke! [Sakura looked at Sasuke worriedly when she saw that he was complaining about the pain] Damn! What have you done to Sasuke!?

Orochimaru: I just gave him a small parting gift. [Sasuke fell to his knees touching his neck.] Very soon Sasuke will come looking for me, desiring my power. In the meantime, really enjoy the display of powers you possess. [Orochimaru disappeared, sinking into the tree branch.]

"That Sasuke is going to look for his power?! As if something like that were going to happen!" Exclaimed Yanagi, who can't imagine Sasuke doing something like that, like some girls in the audience, while others have a very bad feeling that they hope won't come true.

"Unfortunately he will go with him." Felicity thought, saddened at the thought of Sasuke deserting and going with Orochimaru in his quest for power.

"And on top of that, that damn monster leaves as if nothing had happened!" Bakugo exclaimed annoyed. "You can tell I really enjoy all this!"

"For him it was nothing more than a twisted game." Shoto said incredibly uncomfortable with this. Clenching his fist in anger

[Sasuke screams in pain. Which causes Sakura to approach her partner worried.]

Sakura: What happened? What did he do to you? Don't worry! You're going to be fine, Sasuke [Sasuke ended up falling into the arms of an unconscious Sakura, much to Sakura's concern, who screams for Naruto to help her. She hugs Sasuke worried and scared] I don't know... what am I supposed to do?

The audience feels great concern when they see how everything has ended, although Orochimaru is gone, both Sasuke and Naruto are unconscious and do not know if they will recover, or if someone else is going to attack them.

[In another part of the forest Orochimaru appears on a tree branch, Anko was still running with a worried expression on her face.]

Anko: I can feel him. He is near. [Anko jumped into a tree, while Orochimaru began to get into another tree. Orochimaru opened his eyes when he saw the person in front of him.]

Orochimaru: Wow! Anko it's been a while now.

Anko: There's no time for reminiscence. You are a class S criminal, head of the most wanted.

The audience is surprised to see not only that Orochimaru is an S-class criminal but that he also seems to know Anko.

"An S-class criminal! But how is it possible that such a dangerous guy could sneak into the village without anyone detecting him!?" Vlad exclaimed in disbelief at what he heard.

"That's actually a good question." Midnight said in agreement with her colleague.

"First he steals that super important scroll and now this. They should really improve their security system." Power Loader said.

"And not only that, but it also seems like he and Anko know each other." Kendo said.

"Yeah but how do they knew each other?" Midoriya said with interest while writing down the information he is learning in his notebook.

Anko: You must be defeated and I am the right person to do it. [Anko took out some needles from her sleeves.] Because at the end of the day you are the one who taught me everything, right sensei? [Anko threw the needles at him.]

Orochimaru: Not everything. [Orochimaru stretched out his tongue to attack Anko, but she dodged it.]

The audience is in total shock upon hearing this as they never expected that Orochimaru would have been Anko's sensei.

"Him!? That psycho is her sensei?!" Tsuntori exclaimed in surprise.

"B…but how did they let a guy like that teach classes!?" Thirteen exclaimed in surprise, since she can't think who could think that that is a good idea.

"I really have no idea." All Might said surprised. "And Aizawa thought I was a bad teacher."

"Actually Orochimaru is many things, including being a good teacher. At the time Anko admired and respected him a lot." Kushina thought.

"Actually that explains a lot of things about that crazy woman." Bakugo said, to which some nod in agreement.

"And that confirms that Orochimaru belonged to Konoha." Midoriya said while writing in his notebook. "That also explains a few things about him."

[Anko stood on top of a tree, but was grabbed by the wrist by Orochimaru's tongue, pulling her off the tree, but Anko falls on her feet.]

Anko: Viper Shadow Attack. [Some snakes began to come out from under Anko's sleeve, attacking the place where Orochimaru was. Anko pulled her snakes, bringing Orochimaru's body with her, throwing it into a tree, and then began to return the snakes to his body. Anko placed her hand on top of Orochimaru, stabbing her hand with a kunai.]

"Oh wow! Anko is really very skilled! I really like her a lot!" Toga said excitedly.

"You can really tell that she learned from him." Mr. Compress said. "She can summon snakes just like him."

"Even if he didn't teach her everything, he did teach her that." Spinner said impressed by Anko's skills.

"Is incredible!/Lame!" Twice exclaimed.

Midoriya, for his part, writes down in his notebook what he is learning about Anko's abilities.

Anko: Gotcha. Very well lend me your left hand. [Anko took his hand and started making some seals.]

Orochimaru: That hand position...

Anko: Well, it's over. You and I are going to die here. Ninja Art: Twin Snake Sacrifice Jutsu.

The audience is shocked to see that Anko plans to sacrifice herself to stop Orochimaru.

"She's going to sacrifice herself!" Komori exclaimed in surprise.

"She must have thought that's the only way to stop him." Hawks said. "If she is making that decision it is because she has no other plan."

"That is the will of a ninja." Kushina said. "Be willing to do anything to protect our village and the people we love, even if the price is our lives."

"That is certainly something admirable." All Might said admiring the heroism and will of the ninjas. "Although I wish there was another way that didn't involve sacrificing yourself."

"We would all like to, but unfortunately it is not always possible. It's hard, but that's what it is." Aizawa said seriously.

"But what is that jutsu?" Midoriya asked with interest.

"A forbidden jutsu that allows you to summon snakes which kill both the one who summons it and the enemy." Felicity explained, to the surprise of the audience, while Midoriya notes in his notebook.

"What does it mean for a jutsu to be forbidden?" Shishida asked with interest.

"They are techniques that cannot be used or taught because they are considered extremely dangerous or against nature." Kushina explained. "Although I can't say I'm surprised that Orochimaru knows and teaches those things." This greatly surprises the audience.

"Wait! Does that mean you know him?!" Kendo asked in surprise, to which Kushina nods affirmatively in response, but Felicity interrupts them before they can ask her anything else, so the audience returns their attention to the screen, although their curiosity about Kushina and Orochimaru increases, but they hope that they will Answer your questions at some point.

[Orochimaru started laughing.]

Orochimaru: Speak for yourself Anko. [Orochimaru appeared behind Anko, surprising her.]

Orochimaru: Yes, that's right. Substitution! [He tears off what was left of the skin on his face.]

"That jutsu again." Iida said as he saw the replacement jutsu once again. "It really is a problematic skill."

"You said it, ribbit." Asui said.

"So that's what he really looks like." Midoriya said while drawing it on the page he has of Orochimaru in his notebook.

[Anko looked back forward, seeing the Orochimaru she had trapped turn into mud, while the real Orochimaru laughs sinisterly.]

Orochimaru: Of course you now belong to the elite. A virtuous warrior. How disobedient you are for using the Forbidden Jutsu I taught you. [Anko took out the kunai that had stuck in her hand and threw it at Orochimaru, but he caught it with two fingers.] No, it won't work Anko [Orochimaru made a hand seal immobilizing Anko and then approached.]

Anko: Why...why are you here?

"That guy really is very skilled." Hawks said surprised by Orochimaru's abilities. "And even now he's not serious."

"He is certainly an extremely dangerous villain." Present Mic said. "I'm really glad he doesn't exist in our world, I don't even want to think what he would do, or how we could fight him."

"Oh, you really have no idea." Felicity said. "If Orochimaru existed in your world it would be something truly disastrous for you. He would be even worse than any villain you know." The latter greatly terrifies the audience. The villains on the other hand are extremely impressed by Orochimaru and also somewhat intimidated by him.

"It's just fascinating." All for One thought, although he also feels a pang of envy of .

"Anko asked a good question, why is Orochimaru there?" Mandalay said.

"I hope he give us an answer to that." Naomasa said worried about Orochimaru's intentions. "So far we've seen that he has an interest in Sasuke, but I don't think it's just that."

"Whatever it is, it's not good." Makoto said.

Orochimaru: I am deeply hurt after so long I expected a friendlier reception.

"But what is this guy up to?! Like he invited her to have tea or what!?" Kamikiri exclaimed in disbelief at what he heard.

Anko: Don't tell me... you're here to assassinate Lord Hokage.

Orochimaru: No, not yet. I don't have enough subjects yet to dare. But I've heard a lot about this village, and I thought maybe I could make it my own.

The audience is horrified to hear this.

"He…he wants to kill the Hokage!?" Uraraka exclaimed, surprised and horrified by this.

"And take over Konoha!?" Ashido exclaimed.

"Why am I not surprised." Vlad said. "Coming from a villain like him, it was to be expected."

The villains looked at him rage, but chose not to answer him because they know that it is useless to argue with the heroes.

[Anko fell to the ground on her knees with a pained expression, touching her neck.]

Orochimaru: It's the brand, right? I just put the same curse mark on it. [Anko's neck had the same mark as Sasuke's] To a young boy very recently. A very promising prospect.

The audience is surprised to see that the mark on Anko's neck is the same one that appeared on Sasuke's neck after Orochimaru bit him.

"It's the same brand!" Natsuo exclaimed in surprise.

"But what is that thing?" Melissa asked. "He said it's a curse mark but what exactly is it?"

"It is a mark that Orochimaru places on his most powerful servants, biting them on the neck. Although you will see more details later." Felicity said to the surprise and interest of the audience. Midoriya, for his part, writes this down in his notebook.

Anko: I see you haven't changed anything. He will die before serving you.

Orochimaru: It's likely. I'd say the odds are ten to one, but I think the boy could survive like you did.

Anko: You sound very interested in that boy, huh? [Orochimaru touched her cheek, scaring her.]

"Die!?" Several people exclaimed, horrified at what they heard.

"Sasuke is going to die?!" Eri asked terrified since she doesn't want Sasuke to die.

"Who has odds of surviving ten to one!?" Hatsume exclaimed in horror.

"That's another thing about cursed seals, very few people can receive them and not die." Felicity explained to the horror of the audience. "As Orochimaru said, the chances of him surviving are ten to one."

"Does that mean it's happened before? Have people already died who were given that mark?" Fuyumi asked horrified.

"Oh yeah. A few years ago Orochimaru put the mark on about 10 children including Anko and she is the only one who survived." Felicity said horrifying the audience even more.

"That monster!" Mirio exclaimed furiously. "How dare he do such atrocity!?"

"I share the feeling." Nejire said furiously. "If he were here I would hit him!"

"He is really a monster, ribbit." Asui said, the rest of the audience nodding in agreement finding Orochimaru's acts atrocious.

The villains, for their part (except for AFO, Shigaraki and Kurogiri, who are already used to things like that) feel quite uncomfortable with this, since they may be villains but they don't do things as cruel as that.

Kushina for her part shares the audience's distaste for Orochimaru's actions.

Orochimaru: Jealous? That's what you can't forgive me for, right? For having used you and then pushed you aside. Somehow that young man has even more potential than you. There is a reason he is the heir to the sublime skills of the Uchiha clan and his physical condition is excellent. Yes, and he could also be my heir that I have sought so much. Finally he makes things interesting. Whatever happens make sure that no one stops the exams. Three of my followers are also candidates. I must see how far they can go [Disappearing in purple flames] Keep this in mind. If something happens to deprive me of my fun, it will mean the end of the leaf village.

The audience is greatly terrified upon hearing Orochimaru's words, especially his final threat about destroying Konoha if their "fun" was affected. Shiozaki prays, worried not only for Team 7, but for all of Konoha.

[Elsewhere Team Guy was resting for a moment.]

Neji: Well, we've had enough rest. I think the other teams will look for us soon, and that means it will be time to attack. You know the plan we split up and spread out, and no matter what happens if another team contacts us or not, we will meet back up at this point. [Neji stuck a kunai in the indicated spot] Yes? [Their companions nod in agreement and the three leave.]

The audience watches them in silence, wondering what will happen to the ninjas on Guy's team and also worried for their safety as well as the rest of Konoha and exam participants.

[In another place in the forest Sakura is with her companions, but she is worried about their state]

Sakura: At least Sasuke can breathe better now, but his fever still hasn't gone down. [Sakura looks at her two companions worried] It seems that at the moment everything depends on me.

"They are in serious trouble if she is the only one who can do something." Spinner said.

"They are dead in the hands of that fool." Shigaraki said.

"Hey!" Nejire exclaimed annoyed. "She has grown and will be able to help her teammates without problems!"

"Nejire, while it is good to have confidence in Sakura, her situation right now is not good at all." Amajiki said worriedly.

"Let's not forget that Sasuke could die at any moment." Shoto said, earning him several glares. "..I apologize if I was too direct."

"Please lord help them." Pray Shiozaki. "Please let Naruto and Sasuke recover."

[In another part of the forest Anko was bandaging the wound on her hand.]

Anko: I've already wasted a lot of time. Someone must tell Lord Hokage. [Anko was surprised to see that there was a tiger in the bushes and then two more tigers appear] I don't have time.

"Great." Ashido said distressed. "Right now this had to happen."

"Can she handle those tigers? Under normal circumstances I wouldn't hesitate, but considering she faced Orochimaru and has that mark I'm not so sure." Midoriya said worried.

"I think so." Mirio said to try to encourage the audience, that with everything bad that has happened in this episode, they need to hold on to hope.

Koji, for his part, is surprised to see the tigers, since he did not expect that there would also be tigers in the Forest of Death.

[Anko touched her neck in pain. One of the tigers falls to the ground while the other two were immobilized.]

Anko: It's a paralysis Jutsu.

"See? I told you, she's fine." Mirio said.

"Although she didn't perform that jutsu. "Someone helped her." Shoto said.

"But she's still safe, which is what's important." Mirio said to which the rest of the audience nods in agreement, relieved that Anko is okay.

Midoriya, for his part, writes down this new jutsu he saw in his notebook.

?: So there you are Anko. [Two ANBU appeared jumping near Anko.]

Anko: Hey ANBU idiots. Don't you think it took them a long time to arrive?

"You should be more grateful." Tokage said. "They just saved your life."

"And they sure went as fast as they could." Ashido said.

"Although it would have been nice if they arrived to fight Orochimaru, but oh well." Aizawa said.

ANBU Ninja 1: Hey, don't be rude. [Anko fell to her knees complaining of pain] Anko, are you okay? What's going on? The curse mark has appeared that means... Orochimaru.

ANBU Ninja 2: What... here? No.

"Unfortunately it is true." Asui said, still scared of Orochimaru.

"And I completely understand their concern. Orochimaru is possibly the most dangerous villain I have ever seen." All Might said worried about Konoha. "It's almost like…"

"Me." Said All for One, the rest of the audience becomes even more scared when they realized that in fact Orochimaru is something similar to AFO.

"Damn!" Bakugo exclaimed annoyed.

"And we still haven't even reached Akatsuki or Madara, true heavyweights of villainy, although Orochimaru is not far behind." Felicity thought.

Ninja ANBU 1: Quick, we must hurry we will take you to Lord Hokage.

Anko: No, take me to the tower.

Ninja ANBU 2: What are you talking about? You know we must raise the alarm at the first sign of Orochimaru. This is more important than the Chunnin Exams.

Anko: I know, but... Then bring Lord Hokage to the tower. I'll explain everything there.

"That will be the best." Mandalay said. "Especially considering that Orochimaru has threatened to destroy Konoha if the exams are interrupted."

"Having the Hokage decide the best course of action is the best option they have." Hawks said.

"Yes sensei, you are right." Tokoyami said in agreement with his mentor.

[Sakura was sleeping being watched by the sound ninjas.]

Dosu: We found them. Well, as Orochimaru ordered, we attacked at nightfall, and remember our objective is Uchiha.

Zaku: Yes, but if the other two get in our way we'll kill them, right?

Dosu: Sure.

The audience tenses enormously upon hearing these words, since they know that the sound ninjas are Orochimaru's subordinates, and because Team 7 is currently in a position where they are easy prey.

[The next morning Sakura wakes up, but her classmates are still unconscious.]

Once the episode ends, the audience feels hopeless because of how bad the circumstances were, not only for Team 7 but for all of Konoha with the threat of Orochimaru and the sound ninjas. Although they have hope that the Hokage will be able to resolve the situation, the truth is that it will not be easy. Nobody says anything as the next episode starts playing.
