Chapter 48

"Formation of Ten Thousand Snakes!" Orochimaru's body falls on the floor. Opening his mouth there came out many many brown snakes that started crawling out.

"Be careful Sasuke-kun," Sakura called out seeing this fearsome scene. Struggling to free herself. Finding herself incapable with all her limbs trapped by the white snakes.

In his mind Sasuke quickly scrolled through the community mall. Searching with his eyes until he found the one thing he's looking for.

'Gate of Healing! OPEN!' Sasuke commanded his body. A rush of energy came through, clearing away the fatigue in his body.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu," over a hundred Sasuke appeared from the smoke. All lined up ready to fight till their death.

Simultaneously all of them performed the same hand signs: Fire Style-Great Fireball Technique. The snakes from ahead started gathering together. Becoming a gigantic mountain of snakes with swords coming out of their mouth.

With over hundreds of clones performing the fire technique became a firework. Obliterating the mountain of snakes with the fire to dust.

Afterwards all the shadow clones collapsed. Disappearing from sight, because Sasuke achieved the limit of his ability.

'Looks like I still am not strong enough!' Sasuke falls on the ground. With his eyelids heavy from fatigue, watching slowly as Orochimaru comes over.

Zung Chomp

Orochimaru's neck extended sinking his teeth on Sasuke's neck. Leaving behind the poisoned curse on his white skin.

With his neck returning back to its original shape, the clone that trapped Naruto and Sakura disappeared.

"I look forward to seeing you again, Sasuke in the quest for power!"

"Aaagh!!!" Sasuke felt huge amount of pain from his neck. Feeling the pain reaching throughout his body.

"Sasuke!! Don't scare me like this," Naruto caught hold of Sasuke's shoulder. Hearing his troubled screaming worried him deeply.

"What did you do to Sasuke-kun!?" Sakura called out. Seeing Orochimaru sinking deep into the ground. Disappearing quickly from their sight.

"Just a little something to remember me by."

Seeing how much pain Sasuke is undergoing made Sakura willed with tears. Hugging him into her arms, her eyes holding with worry.

[Yes][No]

While sinking in the pool of great pain. Sasuke quickly chose to upload the curse.

In a moment Sasuke felt all the pain that came over his body disappearing. As black marks started spreading all over his body. Sasuke could feel something pushed out of his back.

"Sasuke?" With the curse completed Naruto see Sasuke's body transformed. With a pair of hand like wing appearing behind his back.

Sasuke looked down on his hands which are really tan. 'I feel so much power like never before!! The fatigue is gone!' He was quite surprised that the system was able to so easily do this for him.

He find that he still hold control over his consciousness. With no effort Sasuke retread back the wings from his back. Returning back to his original appearance.

He could feel the evil chakra from the curse also disappearing. Soon in a moment the appearance of the tattooed curse disappeared from his neck.

Though Sasuke could feel himself able to transform into that form at any time. Still even in his original appearance he could feel his chakra and physique better than before.

"What's happening Sasuke-kun?" Sakura looked at him with puzzlement. Her large eyes with worry and anxiety.

"I'm alright. Don't cry anymore." Sasuke extended his hands to wipe away the tears from the corner from her eyes.

"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura wrapped herself tightly around him. Crying even louder than before. Tears mixed with both happiness and fear.

"Sasuke!" Naruto also wrapping himself to them. Apparently trying to join the crying group.

Seeing that his buddy is trying to join Sasuke laughed pushing him away. "Sorry Naruto, as you can see-girls only."

Leaving Naruto standing watching awkwardly with embarrassment. Feeling a little annoyed from the abandonment he turned to start drawing circles on the soil floor.

"I was afraid you are dying," Sakura mustered her words between sound of sobs.

"If you keep crying you won't look pretty anymore," Sasuke told her. Stopping her tears Sakura force-kissed Sasuke in the mouth.

Sasuke didn't stop her, french kissing her with his tongue. Then pushing her away while her saliva still on his tongue. "We can't relax here. Let's continue."

"Okay," Sakura said after feeling the thrill of that kiss with their tongues. Standing up while taking hold of hand. 'From now on I will train even harder. So I can support him from the side.' Making a commitment in her heart.

Soon they speed through the Forest of Death. Arriving inside a building with the quote of the Third Hokage framed on the wall.

When they opened up the two scrolls a figure immersed from the steam.

"Hunh?!"

With the dispersion of the smoke the figure of Iruka sensei could be seen. "Hey, kids. Its been a while eh?"

"Master Iruka. What are you doing, popping out of a summoning spell?!" Naruto asked with a face of curiosity.

"It was just good luck that I got to be the messenger for the three of you."

"Messenger?" Sakura asked.

"Yeah," looking at the watch in his hand, Iruka sensei's eyes popped with surprise, "This is unprecedented!! You guys completed the second exam in only 53 minutes!!!"

Smiling, still with shock Iruka sensei closed the large watch, "Congratulations! You've all passed the second exam. This calls for a celebration. I wish I could take you out for ramen at Ichiraku—"

"YESSSS!" Naruto bear hugged Iruka sense around the waist. Sound super excited in his voice to hear about eating food.

"Hey Naruto! Let me finish!

"Yes! Yes! Yes! YES!!" Naruto was already shouting with joy for the ramen, "I'm so happy!!"

"That idiot haha," Sasuke laughed seeing how his best friend is still so silly as always. Sakura holding tight to his hand, looking at him with a bright knowing smile.
