Sorry the long wait. I've been pondering with how I want this to go. Hopefully you all enjoy it.

The match was not going in Sasuke's favor. Gaara was toying with the Uchiha, the latter already low on chakra thanks to his previous match with Shino. Gaara's eyes shone with bloodlust and he would stop at nothing until Sasuke was dead, but rather than kill him immediately, Gaara was ensuring that Sasuke would be too fatigued to fight back. Gaara's grin only grew as the match went on, Sasuke finally having had enough. The Uchiha was breathing hard and before he knew it, he was trapped within Gaara's infamous Sand Coffin; and that's when his ancestors seemed to sense his dire situation, and bestow upon him a gift. Sasuke was filled with power, a portion of Gaara's Sand Coffin being exploded outward, everyone freezing. Where had Sasuke gotten this power from? What was this power? Gaara gazed on with a raised invisible eyebrow, while Naruto's grin faded; he was hoping for some Uchiha blood to be spilled!

Sasuke's eyes peered out from the darkness, but instead of his normal Sharingan, it was transformed. His blood red eyes now looked like atom molecules, spread out and meeting equally at the edges of his eyes. "Kakashi-Sensei, what is that?" Naruto questioned, genuinely confused.

"That Naruto," Kakashi said with a sense of pride, "Is the Mangekyo Sharingan, and it is a far more powerful version of the Uchiha bloodline. It seems that Sasuke has temporarily awoken his due to being under chakra fatigue, and a close call with death."

"I see. Interesting." Naruto replied, watching the fight.

Sasuke seemed to have an giant ribcage surrounding him, which completely eviscerated the sand. Sasuke dropped to the ground and let out a yell of agony. "I can't see! I can't see! Everything's blurry in my left eye, and my right eye is completely dark!" He howled in pain, curling up in the fetal postion. Gaara grinned and the sand went to reclaim it's prize, only for Naruto to jump down in front of Sasuke, surprising Gaara.

"What are you doing, clown?" The Sand jinjuriki demanded.

"Protecting a toy." Naruto grinned and chuckled, as his blue eyes bore into Gaara's. "Besides, don't you have a party to get to?" Gaara's eyes widened, as an explosion tore through the left wall of the arena. "Ah, they're here! But luckily for them, I bothered and brought party favors for everybody!" He quickly threw out several grenades and small marbles, setting off a chain reaction. The first few forces of the Sand and Sound were blown to smithereens. He turned and was blasted back into a wall by a wave of sand, only to giggle. "C'mon Gaara, get a little closer!" Suddenly Gaara was in his face, apparently humoring Naruto. "Do you want a way to shut off the demon inside your head?" Gaara faltered for a moment, his eyes wide, "If not, too bad!" A quick spurt of gas in Gaara's face, sent the redhead coughing and sputtering, tears streaming down his face. The sand fell to the ground harmlessly, before Naruto slammed his crowbar into Gaara's head, knocking the boy out. The gas was specifically designed for demons, as the Nine Tailed Fox helped Naruto design it. In Gaara's case, it would allow the boy to take control, but only after the boy was knocked out.

Naruto turned and ducked under a few kunai before he laughed and threw some more grenades in retaliation. Glancing to the side, he saw Orochimaru and the Hokage staring each other down, along with a group of Orochimaru's apprentices preparing to do something. "That looks interesting." He muttered to himself, rushing up the stadium wall and landing beside the Hokage just as a protective dome was formed around them. "This is going to be fun." He commented, taking note of Orochimaru's curiosity gleaming in the snake like eyes.

"Ah, Naru-kun, pleasure of you to join us. It will allow me to test out the Curse Seal, and if it has the correct results that I wanted it to have." Orochimaru grinned and licked his lips, Naruto's world exploding into fire. The curse seal was activated, spreading across Naruto's body like wildfire. However, just as it quickly spread, it receded just as quickly, causing Orochimaru to gasp, "What?!" His eyes widened as Naruto began to chuckle, which eventually transformed into maniacal laughter befitting his mentor. Naruto's head whipped up to reveal dark green eyes, his hair following suit. His lips seemed to stretch into an impossible grin, all the while Naruto continuing to laugh. "What kind of trickery is this?"

"I simply have control over the curse seal," Naruto said in between laughing, "all of the power, none of the draw backs. And it's for you I have to thank, snake face!" He continued to laugh, ducking and backflipping away from the first few attacks Orochimaru struck at him with. "Shall we dance with him, Hokage?" Naruto questioned, the grin never leaving his face.

"It seems we have no choice." The Hokage grumbled, rushing Orochimaru as he went through handseals, "Fire Style: Great Fire Dragon jutsu!" A flaming dragon rushed from the Hokage's mouth, speeding toward Orochimaru who merely chuckled in delight.

"Earth Style: Mud Wall jutsu!" The dragon destroyed, Orochimaru turned and gracefully dodged Naruto's katana, which embedded itself within the mud wall. Grunting a bit, Naruto unsuccessfully tried to remove it, only to be kicked away by Orochimaru. The Snake Sannin merely pulled the katana out effortlessly, before speeding toward the Hokage. However Naruto wasn't through with the man who bestowed him this gift, he had yet to thank him! He quickly began to sprint toward the both of them, throwing several playing cards and shuriken, watching as Orochimaru deflected or dodged them with ease. Naruto grinned, one of the cards exploding near Orochimaru's feet, only for the body to fall into a pile of mud. "Kukuku, you must be faster than that, Naru-kun." Orochimaru hissed behind him, stabbing Naruto through the chest, only for Naruto to disperse in a cloud of green and purple smoke. "Very good." He licked his lips, parrying with the crowbar that sailed downward at him, Naruto vaulting over the Snake. They traded blows, their weapons sending sparks flying about. Orochimaru hadn't forgot about the Hokage, for he simply backhanded Naruto away for the moment and turned, spitting out several fireballs, "Fire Style: Fire Ball jutsu!"

"Water Style: Water Wall jutsu!" The two attacks canceled each other, while the Hokage quickly preformed an intricate number of handseals, "Summoning Jutsu!" A poof of smoke later and a giant monkey stood next to the Hokage, "Hello, Enma."

"Really? You're going to call that damned oaf to help?" Orochimaru sneered, chuckling.

"Hello to you to, Hiruzen. Finally going to finish off your old student?" The monkey king questioned, staring down Orochimaru.

"We're going to try." The Hokage confirmed, Enma wordlessly transforming into a giant battle staff, sailing into the Hokage's open hands. The Hokage and Orochimaru charged each other, trying to gain dominance and win the battle. Orochimaru slashed at the Hokage, only for his old sensei to send him flying back thanks to Enma practically extending his body while in staff form.

Naruto groaned and shook his head slightly, wiping the blood from his mouth, "Pack quite a punch, don't you?" He giggled slightly before slamming his crowbar into Orochimaru, the Snake Sannin flying back toward the Hokage. "Shall we play some pin ball?" He quickly produced several grenades and launched them, laughing while doing it. The explosive projectiles landed near Orochimaru and the Hokage, both of whom were too busy fighting each other to notice. The explosions tore up the ground and area around them, but Orochimaru's charred body wasn't among them. "Damn." He turned slightly to see the Hokage and Orochimaru still at it, and Naruto rushed forward to help.

"Senile old fool. You and a monkey think you can defeat me? Let's not forget about the clown." He turned and slammed his fist into Naruto's stomach, before slamming the boy into the ground. "You were supposed to be a perfect experiment, Naru-kun. A perfect specimen. But you're obviously defected!" He slammed his foot into Naruto's side, the boy skidding back a few feet. "Once I'm done with the Hokage, I'll deal with you." The Snake Sannin manipulated his body and twisted out of the Hokage's attack, before grinning. "How about I even the score?" He quickly did a numerous amount of handseals, slamming his hand into the ground, "Forbidden Jutsu: Impure Resurrection Jutsu!" Two coffins rose from the ground, the Hokage's eyes growing to the size of saucer's, before narrowing.

"Orochimaru, how could you? Sinking so low as to summon the dead to do your dirty work?" The Hokage reprimanded. "I should have finished you off years ago, but now I will correct my mistake!" He grasped Enma tightly, just as the corpses of the First and Second Hokage stepped out from their coffins. "The First and Second Hokage? My predecessors? You chose them?"

"Would you have rather chosen your successor?" Orochimaru hissed out, grinning.

"We're sorry, Hiruzen." The First Hokage stated.

"We have no control of what we're doing." The Second Hokage continued.

"Do not worry, I shall cut the strings from the puppeteer who controls you!" The Third promised, before laughing was heard. The previous Hokage, the current Hokage and Orochimaru turned to see Naruto laughing as green and purple smoke filled the area, a scroll beside Naruto's body. "Naruto?" The Hokage questioned. His laughter grew, only for a second voice to be heard, this one more sinister and promising pain.

"What the hell?" Orochimaru questioned, his eyes narrowed. However he let out a gasp, as the second laugh continued to grow. "Is that...?" He wondered.

All around the broken arena, laughter was heard, causing everyone to momentarily freeze in what they were doing. Ino was staring at the dome, her mallet raised over her head, which she stole from Harley. Shikamaru and Choji were about to form a combination attack, whenever they heard the laughter. Sasuke and Gaara were still unconscious from the fight, while Neji and Hinata finished their Gentle Fist style on two Sound ninja. Kakashi's eye widened slightly, as he looked to Asuma. "Is that who I think it is?"

"I thought he was dead!" Asuma replied, growing pale. Naruto and the second laugh continued to laugh, until it eventually stopped, and clapping was heard.

"You've done good, Naruto. You've done extremely well." The voice spoke, sending chills down everyone's spine. The voice seemed to be magnified by some sort of jutsu, everyone hearing it. "Now that you've let me out of the box, it's time for everyone to receive their gifts from good 'ol Uncle J." A figure stepped out of the fading smoke, Ino glancing at Naruto and the male, seeing the similarities and why Naruto was so clown like. The male's skin was stark white, his hair and eyes a dark green. His lips were etched into a permanent grin, red lipstick covering his lips and some of his cheeks. He had a purple dress suit on, with a flower on the front of his suit jacket.

"I did my best, Joker." Naruto replied, Orochimaru's eyes widening at the mention of the name. This simple normal human, this so called Clown Prince of Crime is who made Naruto into the psychotic killer he was today? The Joker's piercing green eyes landed on Orochimaru as he grinned.

"Ah, you must be Orochimaru! I've read all about you in the Bingo Books that Naruto provided me with before sealing me up. One of the Three Legendary Sannin, right? It's a pleasure! I'm the Clown Prince of Crime, formally known as the Joker!" The Joker proceeded to let out a laugh and Naruto joined in before the two clown like people began to walk toward Orochimaru. "So, should we get the Snake, or should we get the two that are going to harm the old man?" Joker questioned, his grin growing.

"Hey Hokage, what do you want? Want to take on Orochimaru, or the previous Hokage's?" Naruto called out, only to receive his answer as Orochimaru launched forward, snakes trailing out from his arms. He quickly produced his revolver and fired, the snakes dropping dead harmlessly, while the Hokage dealt with the previous Kage. The Joker laughed and threw out several playing cards, knives, and explosives, none actually hitting Orochimaru. "Has being sealed up really made you that bad of an aim?"

"I wasn't aiming for the big snake, Smiley!" Joker replied, his eyes dancing with amusement. The explosives, playing cards and knives all landed in or around the previous Hokage's, the explosives going off a moment later. "Why not help out the old man? We all know his health is declining!" He chuckled, ducking under a kunai swipe and parrying with his own playing card. Realizing he was going to be pushed to the ground if he didn't act quick, the Joker quickly sprayed out some acid from his flower, Orochimaru's face receiving the deadly chemical. The face quickly melting, Orochimaru transformed into his true form: A giant white snake with the face that everyone knew Orochimaru by. His eyes gleaming with hate, Orochimaru rushed forward with the intent to swallow the Joker and Naruto whole.

"Oh no you don't!" Enma cried out, slamming down onto Orochimaru, causing the former Leaf ninja to cry out in pain. The Hokage quickly trapped the giant snake within the use of tree branches and vines.

"No, no! It can't end like this!" Orochimaru cried out, desperately trying to escape. He struggled, writhing against his restraints, only to stare at the end of two rocket launchers, held by the two clowns. Knowing his death was imminent, Orochimaru quickly produced Ksuangi and launched it, watching as it was deflected by Naruto's rocket launcher. "I hate clowns." He deadpanned, staring down at his killers.

"It's been a real laugh." Naruto said, bursting out in laughter, the Joker joining in as they fired.

XxXx

"Are you sure you won't stay?" The Hokage questioned.

"Nah old man. Smiley has to get back out into the world. I mean, I love Konoha, but it just isn't my environment." Naruto responded. He had just finished burying the Joker, as the Clown Prince of Crime was sealed up only to be unsealed whenever Naruto needed him the most. But being cooped up in a scroll for that long can take a toll on one's body, and quickly after the battle ended, the Joker deteriorated, turning into nothing more than ash within a purple suit. "How's Sasuke?"

"Blind, and his chakra sealed. His sperm wasn't powerful enough to revive the Uchiha clan, but we did recall Itachi from his long mission. We told Sasuke the truth, and in time, I think he will forgive Itachi. Where will you go from here?" The Hokage questioned, staring at Naruto as he quickly put on his mask, grinning once more. Ino was by his side, clad in her black and red outfit, Harley's old mallet slung over her shoulder.

"Wherever the world needs smiles, old man. Wherever the world needs smiles." Smiley replied, letting out a laugh, Quinn joining him shortly after, the two making their way from the gates of Konoha, and into the world beyond.

I know, weird chapter. The Joker made a return for a brief moment, and Orochimaru died! I know the manner in which Orochimaru died is a little stupid, but I mean, c'mon, it's the Joker. Be happy about him, but not on how Orochimaru died! It's been a fun ride writing this. Enjoy!
