Angel of The Hidden Leaf

I put on my earpiece that connects to the Tower in the Forest of Death. Then I turn on the little cam on my chest that connects to the projector in the tower. Then I put up a sound proof bubble of air around my head.

"And we're live from the Forest of Death!!!" I exclaimed to the earpiece. "27 Brave souls marches into the forest ready to protect and battle for the scrolls to death! How many teams will succeed? How many teams will fail? How many teams will get one way ticket to their grave? Who knows? Even I don't know!"

Different sounds of mutterings, chuckling, and sighing came from my earpiece. "Haios, I swear..." I heard Kurenai senpai muttering in annoyance.

"Now, now, relax Kurenai san. Your genins already signed the consent. You won't be held responsible for their death." Kakashi said suddenly.

Smacking sound, followed by loud yelping sound came from the earpiece. "Ouch! Kakashi! Don't use substitution on me!" Asuma exclaimed with pained tone in his voice. "Kurenai, Kakashi was just joking, no need to get so serious..."

I giggled a little at their banters before moving my attention back to the forest. I soared around the forest and noticed something quite peculiar.

Naruto, Sasuke, and Haku are everywhere... Literally...

"What's this? Team Seven of Konoha created numerous clones for diversion!" I exclaimed while staring at the army of Transformed Shadow Clone traveling through the forest. I can't even tell which is which from all the way up here. "If this keeps up, they will win this second stage of Exam in no time at all!!!"

"Your genins are impressive Kakashi." Asuma said suddenly. "I haven't seen anyone make that many shadow clones at once. Is this the power of Jinchuriki?"

"Not really, I believe it's the Uzumaki bloodline." Kakashi replied. "Besides, your Ino-Shika-Cho team formation is legendary in capture and interrogation. I'm sure the Nara already has a plan."

"Don't forget that my whole team is a tracker. Getting the scrolls shouldn't be a problem for them." Kurenai said with a hint of confidence in her voice.

Well, isn't this interesting... "How about we all have a gamble? Whichever teams get to the tower last has to treat everyone for Yakiniku!!" I exclaimed.

My earpiece goes silent for a moment...

"Deal!" Asuma senpai exclaimed suddenly. "What do you think Kakashi? Kurenai?"

A chuckle and a sigh answered his question. "Why not? I've seen how my genins fight. I'm sure they can defeat anyone that gets in their way..." Kakashi replied simply.

"Well... It's not like I have a choice either. Count me in." Kurenai replied.

"Then it is settled! A race between the Konoha Ninja! Which will win? Who's going to save their sensei from bankrupt?" I exclaimed in slight excitement. "I don't know!!! But there's Team Ten right there with the legendary formation of Ino-Shika-Cho!"

I hovered down above the tree tops and watched in curiosity as three genins walks into view. There's Choji walking and eating a bag of Potato chips. Ino walking beside him while dragging Shikamaru by his feet.

"Hurry up you lazy ass!" Ino exclaimed in annoyance as she hauled Shikamaru's half-sleeping figure with all her might. She leered at Choji and found him eating away, oblivious to the whole world. "CHOJI! Stop eating and start helping!!!" She exclaimed.

Choji glanced at Ino and smiled at her. "Mm.. Take it easy Ino..." He handed her some of his chips. "Do you want some?"

A visible tick mark appeared on Ino's head. "Why you little..." She smacked the food away from Choji's hand and start screaming to the whole forest. "WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FOREST OF DEATH!!! HOW CAN YOU BE SO CALM!?!?"

"Oi... Ino... Stop screaming around, you'll wake up the whole neighborhood." Shikamaru commented suddenly. "And this doesn't seem like a friendly neighborhood..." He added.

Ino curled her palm into fist. "Why you little..." 'BONK' She hit Shikamaru's head with all her might and glared at him. "Well then stop being a lazy ass you idiot!!!" She exclaimed.

I couldn't help but laugh a little after hearing their banters. I can also hear Kakashi and Kurenai laughing from my earpiece. "Well, there goes your monthly wage Asuma senpai." I said while listening to Asuma's groan of frustration.

With that, I soared away from team ten to check on the condition of other teams.

A few minutes later, I saw a blur of green on the branches below me. I soared lower and try to keep up with what it seems a clone of Gai Senpai. "Team Gai is soaring through the woods faster than most contestant! Will they get there faster than anyone else? Heck if I know!"

"Hmm... Haios san, can you zoom in on them?" Kurenai said suddenly.

I nodded a little and flew a little more down. Soon enough I can hear what they are saying. "Slow down Lee. The exam has just begun." The Hyuga said suddenly. "We should save our strength for the fights."

Lee looked back at his teammates. "Forgive me everyone." He grinned at them. "But I can't stay still! I am excited to see what kind of Strong Opponents we're going to fight!!!"

"Well... At least don't move too much Lee..." The girl said suddenly. "Not all of us has as much stamina as you, you know?" She added.

Gai's clone suddenly stopped in his track. He turned around and saw his teammates looking in confusion. "Well then..." Lee leaned down a little and put both hands behind his back. "I SHALL CARRY YOU TO THE TOWER TEN – TEN SAN!!!" He yelled out, expecting to give Ten-Ten a piggyback ride.

Ten-Ten face palmed and Neji could do nothing but sigh in frustration. "Nevermind..." The girl muttered. "Let's just go..."

"WAIT!!" Neji exclaimed suddenly. His byakugan blared to life and he quickly looked around in alert. "Someone is watching us!" He took out his weapons in alert while everyone else prepared their stance.

That's odd... I don't feel anyone around them. Could it be that the Byakugan is much more powerful than my force sense? "Umm... Haios san? I believe that you've been spotted..." Kurenai senpai said suddenly. "Maybe you should go?"

"Eh? You sure about that? I'm pretty far high up you know?" A kunai went flying past my face followed by a Demon Wind Shuriken. "Okay, they spotted me." I quickly turn off my vacuum shield and soared down towards them.

"Oh hi! It's me, Angel, you don't have to worry. By the way, you got some good eyes for being able to spot me like that." I told them with a sheepish look on my face. Then I tapped on the camera hidden on my chest. "Don't pursue after me okay? I'm just here to keep an eye on everyone so we can score you all better. See ya!!"

I soared up into the sky, leaving Team Gai alone to sort out their problem.

After flying for a while, I finally spotted Team Eight jumping through the woods while being chased by some Kusa nin I don't recognize. I held back the urge to help them and decided to just watch from afar. Killing is not prohibited in the exam so it's kinda hard for me not to help them.

"Gyah!" Hinata suddenly slipped on her steps and start falling down to the ground below. Before she could hit the ground though, Kiba jumped down to catch her. "Um... Th-Thank You!' Hinata exclaimed as Kiba gently sets her to the ground.

The Inuzuka dragged Hinata away from a Kunai flying at their direction. "Cover me Hinata! We got company!" He exclaimed while taking out his own weapons. A bunch of shuriken flew towards them and Kiba deflected it with his Kunai.

A genin appeared on a branch above them. "Hehe! We got ourselves some fresh meat!" The brown haired genin said. He snapped his fingers and his teammate appeared beside him with Shino being held by his neck. "Surrender now or we'll kill him..."

Kiba gritted his teeth at the sight of Shino being held hostage. "Shino you idiot..." He rummaged through his pocket and took out a scroll. "Here..." He held out the scroll in front of him.

"Damn it..." I heard Kurenai muttering from the ear piece.

A red haired girl suddenly walked out of the bushes. She looked at Team Eight with a suspicious look on her face. "Is that the real scroll?" She asked while observing Team Eight closely. Suddenly, her eyes widened in realization.

"They're clones!!!" She warned her teammates.

The genins from Kusa watched in disbelief when they all suddenly turned into Uzumaki Naruto. "You got me, ehehe..." They all exclaimed at the same time. Then the clone that's being held hostage flashes a little.

When the team realized it, it was too late. The clone exploded right in front of their face and knocked them off the branches to the ground below. The remaining genin, the red haired girl, looked at the rest of Naruto's clone in fear.

"You're all... Exploding Shadow Clones?" She asked warily.

One of the clones shook his head. "No, we're just shadow clones." Then they all made a hand seal and four more Naruto appeared all around them. "Now, hand us the scroll!!!"

The red haired girl gulped a little. "I don't have it... It's with my team mate." She replied.

All Naruto nodded and looked at the two unconscious genins in the distance. One of them stepped towards the Kusa Genin to get the scroll. "Hehe! Got an Earth Scroll!" He exclaimed followed by a cheer from the rest of the clones.

The red haired girl sighed a little in defeat before walking towards her team mates. She took out a knife from her pocket and made a small wound on her hand. Blood dripped down her skin as made her teammates drank it.

The clones just watched the scene in front of them with a shocked look on their faces. "EH!? Your team mates are vampires!?!?" They all exclaimed in surprise.

The girl shook her head. "No, just that my blood have healing and medical properties." She muttered. "It's a power get from my lineage."

"Oh, so what's your lineage?" Naruto asked her.

The girl looked at him for a moment. "Uzumaki... I'm Karin Uzumaki..." She muttered.

Six Naruto and I gasp in pure shock the second we heard that. "WHAT!?!?" They all yelled out in pure shock. "You're an Uzumaki?!?!"

Karin nodded a little. "Umm... Yes..." She muttered a little.

Suddenly, one of the clones ran up towards Karin. The girl held out her weapon defensively and the clone stopped in his tracks. "N-no... I'm not going to hurt you!" Naruto exclaimed with a nervous smile on her face.

"Then what are you..." Her words were cut short when the clone suddenly lunged at her and embraced her into a hug. Karin, feeling the soft embrace of the shadow clone couldn't help but gasp in surprise. "Wh-what?"

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki!" Naruto exclaimed in excitement. "My mother was also an Uzumaki..." He let go of her and smiled a little. "It's nice to see that there is still more of my clan out there somewhere..."

Karin smiled a little after hearing that. "Nice to see you too... Cousin." She chuckled a little. "Even if it's just a clone." She added.

Naruto grinned and looked at the scroll in his hand. "Well... Just because we're cousin doesn't mean you're getting this scroll back!" He pocketed it and jumped away to the tree above him. "I'll see you later Cousin!!!"

Karin waved him off and noticed that there are still five more Naruto surrounding her. "Umm... What are you doing?" She asked them.

The clones shrugged in response. "I dunno..." Then one of them transformed into a couch. "Ooh! Good idea! Ne, Karin chan, do you need a rest?" They asked.

Karin looked at the sofa in front of her. Then she glanced at her teammates lying unconscious near her. "Can you help me get them on the sofa?" She asked them.

The Clones nodded and the sofa transformed into a bed. A couple clones lifted Karin's teammates and put them on the bed. "Thanks for the help Naruto." Karin said while climbing on to the Shadow Clone. "But are you sure it's safe for me to sleep out here?"

"Of course! We'll protect you Karin chan!" Naruto clones exclaimed. Then one of the clones turned into a Kunai and landed near Karin. The girl picked up the kunai and smiled a little.

Now that I know that they're safe, I decided to leave them to check on the other teams. Now that I know that Naruto also made a decoy of the whole Rookie Nine, I'm starting to doubt that the Team Ten I saw earlier is the actual Team Ten.

"You still can't find our genins Haios?" Asuma asked suddenly.

"Or maybe they've grouped together?" Kurenai asked.

"Why don't you ask the clones?" Kakashi pointed out.

I didn't ask the clone because I am a stupid idiot who didn't thought about it. "Okay then..." I flew down to the ground and caught a shuriken from one of the clones. "Chill guys, it's me." I created a bubble vacuum around me to stop anyone from hearing. "Where's your boss?"

The Clones looked at me in suspicion. "If you're Haios, then tell me something only Haios knows." They exclaimed.

I rolled my eyes a little. "Your father was the fourth Hokage." I muttered.

"Oh! That's right! You are Haios!" Then they took out a fake scroll and handed it to me. "Here, Sakura chan told me to give this to you." They said.

I looked at the scroll in my hands before nodding a little. "Thanks Naruto. I'll be going now, don't get in trouble okay?" I said before soaring off into the sky.
