Chapter 1 - Staring Death in the eye.

Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura and Sasha had just entered The forest of death where the second exam would take place. They all knew it would not be easy to get their hands on the "earth" scroll that they needed since they had already been given the "Heaven" scroll. However, they had recently been attacked and was now resting, and Sasuke had come up with a password that they needed to help them reqognize eachother, since some where good at copying themselfes to look like the other.

There had been a terrible windforce that had destroyed a large amount of the forest and Sasuke was right now hiding under a bush, locating the new enemy. They soon had made sure that the Sakura that had showed up a few seconds later really was Sakura and not too soon they all saw Naruto running towards them shouting;
" Hey everyone, are you okey?", but it didn't take long until Sakura stopped him, " Naruto, wait minute. Say the password.", she demanded and Naruto smiled, "I got it; It is a good chance when large amount of enemies are making a scene. There are no hideouts in a quiet place. It is important for a ninja to know the right time. The time when the enemies is tired, and has his guard down.". Sakura let out a sigh of relief when she heard that he had said the whole password correct. Sasuke smiled and suddenly throwed a kunai at Naruto but he dodget it and falled to the ground. "What are you doing?", he asked, and Sasuke gave a "hmph" and asked to himself, " This time, we have someone good enough to dodge my attack?".
"What are you talking about, Sasuke-kun? Naruto said the password correctly.", "That's why we have a problem.", Sasuke answered and both Sakura and Naruto looked surprised, " Do you really think Naruto could remember such a long password? If I asked, "What's the password?", What do you think the normal Naruto would say?", he asked Sakura and she gasped and turned to the fake Naruto. " Sorry, I forgot.", suddenly she heard Sasha whisper to her, "I will go and look for Naruto, stay with Sasuke, I will be back as soon as I find him.", and then she disappeared. Then Sasuke continued, "And the movement he showed when he dodged my attack is different from Naruto, very different. Show your real self, faker!", at Sasukes last comment the suprised look on the fake Narutos face was replaced with a scary grin, " I see.", he answered and transformed into it's real self with a cloud of mist. The creature that was now standing before them was something that they had never seen before, the creature was pretty tall, had black and silver noblelike armor on it's overbody, the armor was bent around the neck like a halfmoon, long white hair which almost seemed to have a life on it's own, yellow glowing eyes with slitted irises and was carrying two long swordlike daggers which glowed blue, green and red. The creature seemed to be a man with just alittle thinner legs and hips than normal and had a very handsome face, very womanlike. The creature turned towards them grinning, " But if you knew he was going to forget it...", the creature paused and flickered it's long snakelike darkblue tounge, "Why didn't you use a shorter password?", he asked and Sasuke smiled, " I knew that you where eavesdropping on our conversation inside the ground. That's why I made a long password.". The creature grinned, making the two ninjas see it's fangs for a second, and said, " I see. So you haven't dropped your guard at all I see. Looks like I can have more fun than what I expected.", and suddenly he flickered his tounge again. "He's too creepy...also, I wonder how Sasha is doing, in the search for Naruto", Sakura though.

Meanwhile Naruto was lying against a tree, groaning as he finally sat up. Suddenly he saw a huge snake and a Tyrannosaurus rex looking at him and he though, "I've never seen such a big snake before...and I tought dinosaurs where exstinct!", They both charged at Naruto but suddenlt they fell to bits, the snake in fleshlumps and the T-rex in a cloud of mist, like it only had been an illusion. Naruto smiled when he saw Sasha standing before him now, smiling aswell.
"Sasha! Whare's the others?", he asked, "They are far from here, It will take atleast 20minutes to get there and we must hurry, they had company of someone when I left them, I'm sure that there is a friend of the guy that we was attacked by earlier, but still, let's go.", Sasha said and grabbed Naruto by the arm and jumped off.

The creature suddenly took a scroll from it's pocket that it had in the armor. Sakura gasped when she saw what scroll it was and the creature chuckled before asking, " You want our scroll of Earth, right?", then he rised his hand with the scroll and said, " Since you three have the scroll of Heaven...", Suddenly it paused and extanded his tounge and suddenly wrapped it around the scroll, before he slowly helped the scroll down he's throat by the use of his hand and then swallowed it entirely.
Sakura gasped. "Now, let's begin...", he said and flickered is tounge again, "...The fight over our scrolls...", both Sakura and Sasuke gasped this time, as he slowly brought his hand, that also had armor on the fingertips, like claws, in black, and made his eye more visible which ofcorse made them stare at the hellish eyes. " By putting our lives on the line!", he hissed and suddenly both Sakura and Sasuke gasped again, as they where dragged into an illusion, they both felt the pain as if it was real as they where both tortured and killed in many different and horrible ways. And in the end of it they heard a terrible scream which sounded so unholy that it could be. When the illusion faded away, they could both feel their hearts beat in a very fast peace, they could actually hear their pulse in the ears, and Sakura collapsed and Saskuke panted and thought weakly, "An illusion?", before he threw up. The creature seemed pretty bored by this but it smiled devilously and flickered it's tounge as it stared at them. Sasuke tried to stand but quickly fell to his back, "No...It was just an intent to kill! Not an illusion at all, then I'm sure we would have been dead since the only intent itself seemed so real...I can't believe it, after just seeing his eyes, I was imprinted with an image of my own death, who...who is he?!", he thought in panic and stared at the creature. "You can't move already?", the creature asked and Sasuke tried to move again but to no avail, "He's going to kill us!", he though in panic, "MOVE!", he kept saying to himself, and suddenly he was able to reach his kunai and managed to stand up but stopped when the creature smiled again, " What are you going to do with that?", he mocked and Sasuke gasped as he realized that he was way to paralyzed to move further. "Relax kiddo, it will end in a flash..." , the creature said and took out his left swordlike dagger and walked towards them. "You won't have time to suffer. I was expecting alittle more fun, but...", he said and rised his dagger which started to glow green and red, "Now I am disappointed!", and then he threw his dagger which splitted in two daggers and Sasuke saw the shapr edge coming close to them, and with them, death. Just as the daggers would hit both of them, Sasuke saw them disappearing in a mist or smokelike substance and then reappearing in the creatures belt, this time, one again. The creature laughed outloud and suddenly Sasuke regained his movements, he had realized that this had only been a mock charge and now he quickly stabbed himself to replace the fear with pain and he cought Sakura in his arms before he ran. The creature was smiling, it had been deeply amused when the boy had replaced the fear with pain to let him regain movement. He though. soon chatched the boy's scent by his blood from the wound he had created and followed the trail. Sasuke suddenly spotted the creature, running after them, and jumped onto it's armored back, forcing them to make a "clir" sound and since he could have sworn that two of the creatures hairstrands formed into snakes and hissed at him, but he shook his head, he had no time to be silly and now he activated his sharingan and used his "Sharingan-Controlled Triple Windmill Blades" and forced the creature to the nearby tree, binding the wires with the tree and the creature, making it unable to move. Sasuke smiled and suddenly used his Katon, Ryuuka no Jutsu(=Fire element, Dragon fire Technique.) and a huge amount of fire made it's way in the direction of the creature. The heat and force was anough to burn the other side of the tree, but the creature didn't make a noise. Sasuke was breathing heavily, his chakra was now gone, for now, and he had fought one of his thoughest battles yet. Sakura was coming towards him, stopping when she was by his side, and asked, "Are you okey? Get a hold of yourself.". The creature remained still, until it tired and broke the wires grip like they had been made of air, and walked forward abit, and then it opened it's eyes, it's irises became even more slitted as the creature was looking at the two ninjas. Sasuke and Sakura gasped and Sakura was forced down to her knees as Sasuke gritted his teeth, trying to stay upright. "Is he using some form of Paralysis?", he though as he fought against the will that wanted him down on his knees. "I am surprised, I must say, and impressed. That you managed to actually damage me, even if it is healed now and was just a scratch. You entertain a powerful lord like me, congratz, you should feel honored, honored but foolish'.", he said and Sasuke could hear that it's voice changed, it was still same as before but a slight female was also in the creatures voice, but the female voice seemed not to keep up with the rest of the voice and repeated the last letters in a word or sentense, and it sounded like two persons talking at the same time, which made it even creepier. Sasuke groaned as he felt the power of the paralysis get stronger, but he kept on his feet. "Who are exactly are you?!", Sasuke asked, enraged and the creature smiled, holding up their "heaven" scroll. "It's not the time nor place for presentations, we will have to do that later, look up.", Racktas said and flickered it's tounge again. Sasuke did that and spotted Sasha, carrying Naruto and was standing on a tree, visible for them to see, and then she jumped down to them. setting Naruto on the ground and helped Sakura and Sasuke up. "Racktas, you moron, you almost scared them to death, you know?", Sasha said and held Sakura carefully while Naruto helped Sasuke. "I couldn't possibly letting such a oppertunity slip by, now could I, their fear was delicious, and by the way, is that any way to great a "friend" after so many years?". Sasha sighed and stared at Racktas, it hasen't changed since it joined the Hellsing Organisation, for a few years ago. "Um, Sasha...", Naruto began carefully as Racktas stood beside him, and the sun, shining on Racktas, made it really look lika a noble creature, as he stared in awe at this, "Who is this?".

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa *cough* *cough* aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! First chapter finished, damn...I have cramp...><'

Yaaaay for Racktas beeing evil and Sasha to save Naruto from a the snake and T-rex. Btw, Racktas wasen't really going to kill Sakura or Sasuke, he/she is just like that in general, kinda like Orochimaru, only 10000 times stronger and more evil. Also, he/she knew that they where with Sasha and was just giving them alittle scare.
