Hello everyone. I can't really find a excuse for this late update so I'll be blunt. I somehow lost motivation to sit down and write because I read to many Naruto stories and now I'm just tired of the topic. So I'll try to find new stories of other series to get my head in the game again. Now let me just answer the Reviews and get this chapter on the run.

Naruto and Anko stood before the fence that surrounded the Forest of Death. Anko watched the Genin before her with a sadistic glee while Naruto held her in place with his shadow so she wouldn't do something stupid.
"Now that you are all here we can continue." Naruto began before he pointed behind himself with his right thumb.
"What you see behind me is training ground 44 or as others call it the Forest of Death. In there the second part of the exam will be held. Each of your teams will get one scroll. It will either be a Heaven or Earth scroll and your goal is to get a complete set. You have five days to accomplish this task." he explained while a few Chunins began to give out documents.
"The documents you were just given are insurance for the village. During this exam people will die. Be it due to the dangerous beasts in the forest or through other teams, Before you begin you have to sign this so that Konoha won't be blamed for your death." he explained with a small grin that was overshadowed by Ankos insane one.
"But what about food if we have to stay there for five days." Chouji stammered at the thought that he would starve to death.
"The Forest supplies more then enough food. Be it plants or meat. You just have to know how to find it." Anko explained as she felt Narutos hold loosen on her.
"Once you reach in your documents your teams will get a scroll and a gate number you will start from. You have thirty minutes for this. Any team that has no scroll after that time will be disqualified." Naruto explained as calm as possible as he saw Anko think about how she could torment the Genin.
The Genin began to murmur and shift around as the discussed the documents in their hands. Some filled them without a second thought and some didn't but slowly the first teams came to get their scrolls. Anko in the meantime found a new hobby for herself. If she wasn't allowed to torment the Genin then she would flirt with Naruto as much as she could without anyone interfering.
"Now that we are undisturbed we could finally get to know each other better." she purred as she traced her right index finger across his chest.
"While I find you very attractive Anko-san I don't think it would work out for us. For one you are six years older then me. Secondly my heart belongs to someone else and thirdly it's unprofessional to behave like that out in the open." Naruto deadpanned as he removed her hand tenderly.
"Aww come on. Give me a chance Naru-chan. I'm sure I can make you happy." the young woman pouted.
"Please stop it Anko-san. I want to get this exam started without any problems and then we have our own mission to accomplish. So I need you at your best till this part of the exam is finished." Naruto sighed and straightened his back much to Ankos confusion.
Her confusion was replaced with a maniacal grin as she saw all Genin teams stand before a gate.
"Okay you maggots. Now that you all got your scrolls it's time to get this party started." Anko yelled with glee and the gates opened.
The moment they were open the teams shot into the forest. Once they were out of sight Naruto and Anko picked up their gear from behind the table with the remaining scrolls and put it on. The young vampire felt the skull like seal between his shoulder blades pulsate as he strapped the Fox Fangs to his back.
'The Sword of Sealing Motoko-nee gave me is pulsating. That can't mean anything good.' Naruto frowned.
"Something wrong Naru-chan?" Anko asked as she noticed his frown.
"Call it a bad feeling." the vampire shrugged.
"Should we be worried?" she asked concerned.
She knew that if Naruto had a bad feeling it couldn't mean anything good. Naruto only shook his head hoping for the best.
"Let's go. We can't loose track of them." she urged and they rushed into the forest fully concentrated on their mission.

"Come one Sasuke-kun. We should keep up the pace. Something doesn't feel right." Sakura called over her shoulder as she jumped to the next branch.
"You're right. Something is really strange. The forest is to quiet." Sasuke agreed as he followed his teammate.
A whistling sound caught Sakuras attention and her eyes widened.
"INCOMING!" she yelled and the two jumped away from each other.
The sound revealed itself as a kunai that had been aimed at Sakuras back. The Genin stopped with their weapons at ready crouched on a few branches away. They faced their attacker with dark looks on their faces. There before them crouched a creepy looking man with white skin, long black hair and yellow snake like eyes.
"Orochimaru the Snake Sannin! What are you doing here?" Sakura scowled and tightened the grip on the ninjato Naruto had given her.
"Oh so you know who I am? Impressive..." the missing nin chuckled but was interuppted by the pink haired Genin.
"Of course I know who you are you pedophile boy lover." she sneered feeling confident despite the dangeorus nins presence.
"Shut up girl." Orochimarus sinister smile vanished and was replaced by a angry sneer.
"Or what? I know for a fact that the worst you can do to me is kill me because you are a limp dick when it comes to women. You can only get off on little boys." Sakura grinned at the furious man.
Sasuke meanwhile twitched at each word of his teammate. He knew that she had gained a huge confidence boost during her training with Naruto but this was going to far. She was litarelly calling for their deaths. It didn't help that the Snake nin seemingly was a pedophile with a high interest in boys because he threw the young Uchiha weird glances whenever he could. Sakura in the meantime was biding her time because she knew that Naruto was nearby. So while she insulted the Sannin she flared her Chakra. Orochimaru was way to pissed to notice the small fluctuations in her Chakra. A few trees away two figures looked at the scene.
"Your girl sure knows how to press the Snake perverts buttons." Anko grinned with glee.
"Oh yeah she sure does. Tayuya taught her well. I'm sure you three will get along just fine once this is over." Naruto grinned as he pushed a small amount of Chakra into the communication seal on his body.
The moment he did that the seal on Sakuras body began to vibrate gently. The grin on Sakuras face grew as she took the next step of her plan. With a small push of her Chakra she activated the fully charged Blood Fang Seal over her heart. The effect came immediately. She felt her muscle tense and her blood began to boil. It felt like a rush of pure power flooding her body and mind. She could feel the air prickle against her skin like a small storm. Her teeth grew longer and sharper while her eyes gained a red tint. She felt invincible almost like she could handle Orochimaru with her pinkie only and her other hand tied to her back. The power inducted haze on her mind cleared as she remembered the order Naruto had given her when he gave her the seal and his trust. The moment the first rush of power was gone she vanished in a blur. Sasuke vanished in the same blur and the two were gone in a mere second. The Snake Sannin stared at the branches the two Genin stood till now with a shocked expression. He tried to wrap his mind around what just happened. He had felt the girls Chakra spike for a second and then they were gone. There was no way for anyone to posses such speed unless one used the Hirashin no Jutsu.
"What the fuck?" he exclaimed but hadn't any time to ponder on it because he jumped back to evade a incoming attack.
He stared at the two newcomers and grinned when he recognized both of them.
"Well if it isn't my little Anko-chan and the Bloody Fang of Konoha. To what do I owe this honor?" he laughed to bide his time to recollect himself.
"Orochimaru of the Sannin you are hereby under arrest for high treason against Konoha. I know you won't come with us peacefully but this will only make it more interesting." the vampire grinned as he pulled forth his swords.
He shot forward and slashed at the Sannin who barely evaded the attack.
'Fuck he is way to fast. I can't evade him and keep an eye on Anko... wait Anko...' Orochimaru scowled before a grin formed on his face.
He formed a hand sign and pumped Chakra into one of the many seals on his body. Naruto took Orochimarus distraction to deliver the finishing blow to the man but the pained outcry of his partner made him stop and turn to her. Anko squirmed on the branch and screamed in agony. The Curse Seal on her body glowed fire red against her pale skin. With one jump the teen was by his partner and crouched beside her.
"Can you hear me Anko?" he asked concerned but kept his eyes on the smirking Sannin.
"Yessss..." she hissed through clenched teeth and gripped his arm.
That was the moment the young vampire made a mistake. He turned to look at Anko and let the Sannin slip out of his sight.
"Killl... hiiimmm..." she hissed before her eyes widened in shock.
There behind Naruto hovered the Snake nin with the sword of Kusanagi in mid swing at the young mans back. Naruto noticed her expression and turned just in time to evade the surely lethal slash if he had been mortal with Anko in his arms. Orochimaru frowned how the vampire escaped his attack but it turned into a grin as he saw something drip down on the tree branch. A small cut had appeared on Narutos right biceps. The teen scowled as he looked at the cut because it did more then just damage his clothes and out poison in his body. The Sannins sword strike had destroyed the seal that held all of Narutos food reserves.
"No matter how powerful you are you won't survive the poison of my Kusanagi." Orochimaru laughed with glee.
"Your poison may slow down my healing but I'll survive. You on the other hand I'm not so sure about." Naruto growled and pushed his shadow powers all around them.
The forest grew darker and a malicious aura spread from Narutos body. Sets of red glowing eyes began to appear all around them alongside with devilish growling. Orochimarus concentration on Ankos Curse Seal broke as he made eye contact with one of the eye sets. These eyes held something unsettling.
"Take care of him Baskerville!" Naruto snarled and a figure became visible against the black shadows.
A tall black dog with a spiked collar stepped on the tree branch to Orochimarus right. The dogs long tounge hung from his mouth and its red glowing eyes stared right at him. The man shivered as he felt the dark aura of the animal. Then suddenly 4 more eyes opened on the beasts forehead and fixated on him. The dogs mouth began to stretch open and revealed many rows of sharp teeth. Its fur began to bubble away and revealed dark red flesh. With a snarl the beast jumped forward and attacked the Snake nin. He barely evaded the beast and watched in shock how its fangs sunk into the wood and bit right through the solid wood. The branch broke apart from the bite and with the speed the beast had it continued to fly further. It twisted its body and landed on a nearby trunk and turned its head to the Sannin with a sick and evil grin on its face.
"What kind of beast is that?" he exclaimed frightened.
For once in a long time he felt fear. Fear that came from this unknown beasts malicious aura. It felt even worse then when he faced Manda without a fitting sacrifice. So only one thing came to mind. He turned and ran as fast as he could with Baskerville hot on his tail. Naruto watched the Sannin flee and let his power faded. The forest returned to normal and his legs buckled under him. Anko and him fell on the branch and panted. Anko because she suffered from the Curse Seal and Naruto because he felt the poison spread through his body.
"Anko... I can barely move... You have to take us to safety as soon as you can." he panted and spat out a gobbled of blood.
"I... I'll try." she panted and forced herself to her feet.
With a deep breath to control herself she bend down and heaved the young man in a upright position. With another deep breath she pulled him over her shoulder and took a moment to balance herself with the new weight on top of her.
"Where should we go?" she began to get a hold of her breath.
"We are to far in the forest to make it outside... Bring us into one of the hollow trees that litter the forest." Naruto groaned as he tried to concentrate his healing factor on the poison.
Anko nodded and looked around till she found one not to far away from them. She could only hope that it was uninhabited because neither of them could handle a fight right now. She pumped Chakra into her legs and leaped towards the small cave like opening in the tree. As she landed on the edge of the entrance she looked around. The cave was big enough for the two of them to sprawl and still have space. Finding no traces of any living being inside she jumped in and placed the young vampire against the back wall so he could rest. Anko sat down beside him and tried to relax to let the remaining pain ebb away. While Anko relaxed Naruto suffered from the drain of his energy due to his healing factor. He felt fangs grow out so that they reached out over his lips.
"Everything alright Naruto?" Anko asked concerned for once not in the mood to tease him.
"It's the hunger. Orochimaru destroyed my whole blood supply when he slashed the seal on my body." he growled as he restrained himself from attacking the beautiful woman beside him.
The longer he waited the more appealing the idea of sinking his fangs into her soft flesh and drinking her blood became. His head slowly drifted towards her and his mouth opened ready for the bite but he snapped it back the other direction and clenched his jaw shut. Anko saw it and began to realize what was about to happen. She knew what he needed and that the only reliable source for it was she herself. She knew how it worked. She had seen him drain prisoners more then once and was ready to provide him the blood he needed.
"You... you can take my blood." she offered and pushed her coat to the side to reveal the smooth skin of her shoulder.
Naruto stared at her shoulder with big eyes as his mouth began to water. He felt his reason drift but snapped back to reality.
"Are you sure? I don't know if I can stop once I start. The poison was potent enough to challenge my healing factor and that drained my reserves more then I thought. Plus that's not what I'm worried about most." he explained with a growl.
"Ye... yeah... I trust you not to kill me. I can handle a little pain if you're worried about that." she puffed her chest in pride.
"Pain?" Naruto grinned despite the strain the hunger had on his mind.
"What's so funny?" she asked confused.
"The only pain you'll feel is when my fangs pierce your skin after that is only unlimited pleasure." he grinned but balled his fists so hard that he drew blood.
Anko stared at him in shock before she began to imagine the possible pleasure. A goofy grin made itself to her lips and she felt her privates get moist.
"Let's do it." she exclaimed with a big grin.
'I hope I can stop myself from killing Anko. She may be a big tease but she is a precious friend.' Naruto thought to himself as he leaned over to her.
His fangs paused just before they touched her skin and gave her a look. Anko only nodded and closed her eyes. A sharp pain shot through her shoulder but before she could cry out it another wave washed over her. A wave of pleasure. A loud moan escaped her as her mind succumbed to the pleasure. Without thinking about it she wrapped her arms around him and pressed him against her. Naruto for his part felt his mind warp and succumb to the same maddening pleasure with each drop of blood he took from her.
Soon the two struggled to remove their clothes and Naruto release hit bite on her shoulder before he moved to her mouth to give her pleasure filled kiss. Anko ignored the blood that covered her face as he devoured her mouth. To her it was just a extra to the madding pleasure. Soon be bit down on her shoulder again but began to fondle her bare breasts. She on the other hand used her left hand to stroke his hard abs while her other hand stroked his boxers that strained against his hard erection. Naruto growled against her shoulder as he felt her soft hand enter his boxers and start stroking his member. He followed her example and slipped his hand between her legs and began to finger her drenched slit.
"Take me. TAKE ME NARUTO!" she exclaimed as she came from his fingers only and ripped his boxers in the process.
Controlled by his instinct he followed her order and once again released his hold on her shoulder before he spread her legs. He poised his cock against the entrance of her slit and with one thrust he shoved it in whole. Anko gasped as another hot wave of pleasure enter her body along with the pleasure from his bite. She could only scream as her mind finally shut down from all the pleasure. The next few hours were spend in blind pleasure with more bites and kisses exchanged between them. Soon after they finished they succumbed to the darkness of sleep.
The next morning the first beams of the morning sun broke through the thick layer of leaves over the forest and into the hollow tree. Naruto was the first to stir because he felt the sun on his skin, while it didn't hurt him he still felt disturbed by the tingling feeling it gave him. His eyes opened and he blinked against the sun light before he sat up and focused on his surrounding. He saw many clothes sprawled around the cave and felt the wood against his naked skin. Then he noticed the nude and blood daubed form of Anko sleeping beside. The taste of her blood still lingered in his mouth but unlike the day before her kept control of himself. His hunger was stilled for the moment. He eyed the nude woman with care as the haze over his memories of the last night began to lift. A small blush worked itself on his cheeks as he remembered each little and perverted detail of it. Though the smile was crushed immediately as he remembered the crush he had on Ino and how he had betrayed his own feelings towards her.
"Sometimes I hate my vampire instincts." he growled and slapped himself in the face to get his mind back on track.
"Hmm? Wha? Where am I? I don't remember getting hammered last night." Anko moaned as she sat up.
She looked around and stared at the nude Naruto. It took her a moment to realize what or who she was looking at before a massive blush worked itself on her face.
"Na... Naru-chan?" she asked shocked.
"Good morning Anko." he answered with a creepy smile that seemed very similar to her own.
"Wha... oh the exam... Orochi-teme... the sex..." she murmured as she remembered.
"Come on get dressed we need to get going and inform the old man about what happened with Orochimaru." Naruto explained as he unsealed a spare set of his clothes and sealed away his old clothes.
Anko only nodded dumbly as she watched him move around. Drinking in every detail of his body. How his muscles flexed under his skin or how his eyes held a mysterious glow that was noticeable whenever he turned away from the light. Suddenly she realized what she was doing and jumped to her feet to get dressed as well but something felt amiss. The constant sting in her shoulder was gone. She looked at it and stopped in mid step. The mark that had plagued her mind and body for years was gone. It just wasn't there anymore. It just vanished over night. The only thing that remained was a bite mark like scar.
"Na... Na... Naruto..." she stuttered in shock.
"Is something wrong? Do you feel sick?" he asked as he donned his leather jacket.
"My... my... my ma... ma..." she stuttered unable to comprehend the situation.
"Your mama?" he asked confused.
"MY MARK YOU IDIOT!" she yelled and pointed at her shoulder.
Naruto stared at her shoulder in confusion before realization dawned on him. The Curse Mark on her body had disappeared and left behind was a mark that resembled his bite mark. He tried to remember what he did that could have destroyed the mark. It took him a while but he came to a conclusion.
"I think I sucked out the part of Orochimarus soul that was within the seal and without it the seal couldn't hold itself together and collapsed." he explained with a thoughtful expression.
"But... how?" Anko asked stunned.
"I'm the Shinigamis representative in the mortal plain. Did you really think I could only look cool and do some fancy tricks? Like Motoko-nee I can affect a soul directly." he explained calm and strapped his blades to his back.
Anko nodded dumbly to stunned to make a scene and put on her cloak. A few minutes later the two Jonin left their hideout and hurried towards the Hokage tower to give their report. As they ran the young vampire extended his senses and felt for the five Blood Fang Seals that were inside the forest. Four of the were on unused and on standby. Only one was activated but set to standby. But all seals were inside the tower much to his relieve. He also didn't feel any newly placed Curse Seal so he knew that Sasuke was safe for now.
"By the way Anko. Can we keep what happened here to ourselves?" he asked a bit unsure.
"You mean our passionate..." she grinned but was interrupted by him.
"Yes I mean that. You know that I like someone else and I already feel bad enough that I betrayed my own feelings for her. While I undoubtedly enjoyed it, it doesn't change the fact that I still stand to my feelings." he sighed as he imagined how Ino would react should she ever find out about his weakness.
"Okay but you're making it quite hard to because it was really good." she smiled and swore to herself that she would find out who he liked and talk her into sharing him.
Pumping more Chakra into their legs they leaped from the thick forest into the smaller trees and continued towards the tower.

"You think Naruto-nii will be alright?" Sasuke asked as he and Sakura ate their lunch.
"Of course he'll be fine. Sensei is strong. I'm more worried about that Anko woman. She has a history with Orochimaru. She could have become Senseis weakness if things turned bad." Sakura mused more to herself then to him.
"Very reassuring Sakura. You just know how to build up my confidence in Naruto-niis safety." the Uchiha mumbled with a mock frown.
"Sorry. I'm also worried about him but I'm sure he is fine." she assured him.
"Got that right Sakura. No way in hell will Naruto-sama die because of the snake pedophile." Mikado exclaimed as he and his team walked up to them with their trays in hand.
"Hey there. How are you today?" Sakura greeted the Uzu team.
"Everything's fine Sakura, thanks." Ayuna smiled and sat beside the bubble haired girl.
The boys only nodded their answer and sat down with their own food.
"So how did you two get here so fast? You were here before us and that freaky Suna team." Tobimaru asked curious.
"I snitched a extra scroll when I handed our wills back to get a scroll." Sakura shrugged much to the Uzu teams shock.
"So you cheated?" Ayuna asked shocked.
"We are ninja. Cheating is our middle name right after deception." the Konoha girl grinned.
"That so bad ass." Mikado laughed and the others followed his example.
"I still don't know how you pulled that off." Sasuke grinned as he calmed down a bit.
"I learned a lot from Sensei. He even taught me how to pick pockets in broad daylight even if the person is looking at you." she grinned and Tobimaru smiled.
"So you learned one of Uzus mandatory skills for the academy? Impressive for such a short time you've been there." he complimented her.
"Thanks." she blushed at the praise.
"Could you teach me how to do that Sakura? That sounds really useful and cool." Sasuke asked his teammate.
"Sure. I would love to." she smiled.
"By the way Sakura, did you hear the latest rumor before we left Uzu?" Ayuna asked with a evil glint in her eyes.
The boys knew that glint. It was the sign of a gossip lover. They shivered at the thought but kept their thoughts to themselves.
"You mean that one were that fisherman saw fish walk on land like a human?" she asked which gained disbelieving looks from the boys.
"Noooo... that's so yesterday. I mean the one that Naruto-sama is in love with a Konoha Genin." she grinned.
This one gained wide eyes from everyone at the table while Sakura also began to sweat. She knew who Ayuna was talking about but she promised her Sensei not reveal anything about it. Unfortunately the other girl noticed the nervous twitch of Sakuras eyes and grinned victorious.
"You know who this rumor is about don't you Sakura?" she grinned and the boys turned to the poor girl.
"Naruto-nii is in love with a Konoha Genin? There are not many girls that are ranked Genin. Four in fact." Sasuke mused and the Uzu team grinned even more.
"Who would that be except Sakura here?" Mikado leaned forward to listen better.
"Well there is Hyuuga Hinata, Yamanaka Ino and TenTen." the Uchiha listed the girls with a wide grin.
"Nothing against Sakura but I don't think it's her. I saw how you two interacted and there was nothing more then friendship." Tobimaru explained as he remembered her time in Uzu.
Sakura remained tense as she knew that they were now closer to the truth then they should be.
"Maybe we should think about this from a different angle." Ayuna offered and gained the others attention.
"Does Naruto-sama have any hobbies that could relate to any of these girls?" she asked and Sasuke began to think about it.
"Well Naruto-nii has a large flower garden that he tends to with a slight obsession. That's something he has in common with the Yamanaka clan since they own a flower shop." he mused as the Uzu team grinned in victory.
"But Sensei also likes his tea ceremonies." Sakura interjected to throw them of their hot trace.
"That's true. So it could also be Hinata." Sasuke amended.
"And what about his Fox Fangs. TenTen has been bugging him to test them since we came back wave. She came to his compound during the first day of my training and asked about them." Sakura hoped that this was enough to keep them busy.
"I don't think that counts as a relation since he is not some nut job like she is." Sasuke stopped the idea immediately.
'Well shit. I'm sorry Sensei but I think they are to close to the truth for me to stop them without raising anymore questions.' Sakura thought dejected.
"That reminds me. Isn't Tayuya-sama also after Naruto-sama?" Tobimaru asked and threw the group into a new topic.
"You can say that again. I lived with the two of them and Tayuya-sama made no secret of it that she wants into Senseis pants whenever she gets the chance." Sakura laughed and thanked the boy in her mind.
"So Nii-san has two woman that want him and one he wants. How come he is so popular?" Sasuke thought aloud.
"It's his body." Sakura said offhandedly and gained weird looks from everyone.
"What?" Mikado asked as he saw Ayuna ascend to her imaginary wonderland.
"I mean that his body possesses a natural aura that comes with his Kekkei Genkai. It gives him a aura that make woman like him but he has it under control. The fact that Anko-san and Tayuya-sama are after him is probably a coincidence seeing as they have similar personalities." she explained now calmer because they avoided the dreaded topic.
"How do you know that?" Tobimaru asked curious.
"Sensei explained me a lot about his Kekkei Genkai and I even got a few chances to talk to Motoko-sama." she explained and pushed her plate away finished with her food.
"Who is Motoko-sama?" Ayuna asked confused.
"Motoko-sama is the Shinigami. She is the one that raised Sensei together with Kurami-sama." Sakura stated calm while the others stared at her in shock.
"You talked to the Shinigami?" Sasuke whispered awed.
"Yeah. She's really nice. She even taught me a bit of shogi." she shrugged before she stood up to put her tray away.
"Come on guys. We should use the time in the tower to look around a bit and maybe find something out about the people we might face in the next exam.", she stated and the others followed her eager to find a weakness of their potential enemies.
