This revelation earned gasps from both girls. They were both surprised that the shinobi in front of them were traitors, but they were even more shocked at who they were working for and that Naruto knew about it.

"Oh? So you even knew about Orochimaru-sama being here in the chunin exams? I was right to be worried about you...but don't worry...you won't be leaving this forest with any of the information you've discovered." Kabuto stated as he made a hand sign for Misumi and Yoroi to deal with Naruto's teammates.

"You two we need to separate. Both of the masked men are genin level. Split up and take care of them! I'll deal with Kabuto, he's the strongest one of them. Do not let them live, kill them! This is my only order to you two." Naruto declared and the two girls nodded.

Hana and Satsuki both reached for a handful of shuriken from their weapons pouch and threw them at their targets, forcing the two enemy shinobi to separate into different directions into the thick forest. The two females of Team 11 each disappeared from the clearing to confront their respective opponents. It would most likely be close, after all these genin were far more experienced, but Naruto knew that his team would eventually come out on top. However, from what he heard Kabuto is an incredibly talented Medical-nin only second to Tsunade herself. This would take a while, medical-nins were always so damned persistent.

"You're either quite brave or quite foolish to fight me on your own Naruto-kun. I'm on par with Hatake Kakashi, you won't last long." Kabuto stated smugly.

With that said, Kabuto charged.

With Satsuki

Satsuki was combatting the genin known as Akado Yoroi in a denser area of the forest, filled with trees and vegetation everywhere. They had just separated after a small confrontation using mostly taijutsu. Already Satsuki had figured out that she had the edge in this fight, taijutsu was not this man's forte and yet he was a close-range specialist. From what she could see with her sharingan, this Yoroi's only notable characteristic was that he could absorb chakra through physical contact. He was obviously physically stronger than her though, so if he managed to grab her it would all be over.

He charged at her once more with his extended hand, glowing the same color as chakra. Satsuki effortlessly dodged each and every single thrust of his arm, but he just wouldn't let up. The man was a one-trick pony nothing more. If she managed to overcome that chakra absorption ability that he relied so heavily on then she would win the match in a matter of minutes. His speed was starting to overwhelm her and he became closer to grasping her head with each thrust. She narrowly dodged his final thrust, but he managed to graze a lock of her hair. She felt some of her chakra leave her and begun to slow down even more.

'That's all it takes? He just has to touch the smallest amount of my body and that lets him absorb my chakra?...that is so unfair. I can't let him absorb anymore...It seems like he can only use his jutsu through one of his hands at a time though. I just have to get around that right hand of his.'

She could already feel that he had absorbed a small portion of her chakra after only a small amount of physical contact. She couldn't risk losing any more. Taijutsu was out of the option, or is she did choose to use it she would have to avoid his hands where he focused the technique. The young Uchiha decided she would keep her distance for now and see how ninjutsu would work.

'I can't afford a prolonged fight, I need to get back and help Naruto-nii. If these guys are weaker than Kabuto like Naruto-nii said, then he'll need my help to finish that guy off.'

Satsuki jumped back and started forming hand seals. "Katon: Goukyaku no Kutsu!" Satsuki exhaled a fairly large fireball that rushed Yoroi at high speeds. If it hit him it would definately slow him down throughout the rest of the match. However, Yoroi was several years older than Satsuki and was much faster than she had expected.

He easily dodged the jutsu and rushed at her once more. Yoroi quickly went through his hand seals and grabbed his right wrist, his right hand started to glow a light blue color and reached for Satsuki's head. She couldn't get away fast enough and forced to go on the defensive. She couldn't afford to let him touch a single hair on her head with that hand, even the smallest bit of physical contact would cost her a fair amount of chakra.

This went on for a few minutes before Satsuki had enough. She blocked his arm, making sure not to touch the glowing hand, and countered with a palm strike to his solar plexus. This sent Yoroi staggering back a few feet. There wasn't much power behind the strike but she managed to catch him off guard. Satsuki saw an opening and used it to start her counter attack.

She rushed the elder genin and swept his feet out from under him with a sweep kick. Then drove her fist into his stomach, sending him straight into the gound causing it to crack. The female Uchiha wasn't done yet, she reached into her weapons pouch and pulled out another handful of shuriken. She sent them towand the downed man and made a singular hand seal, "Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Four shuriken multiplied into fifteen and were aimed to pierce Yoroi through multiple points on his body.

The traitorous genin managed to recover, but he couldn't avoid all of those shuriken. Two pierced his left leg and one his right arm.

'Tch! She's tougher than I thought. With these injuries I won't be able to finish this as quickly. I just need to get a good grip on her and then this will be all over. One chance is all I need.' Were Yoroi's thoughts.

Satsuki landed on the ground and as soon as she did, rushed the older genin once again to finish her onslaught. Satsuki's right hand rushed at Yoroi, but he was able to block this time. This didn't slow her down though. She brought her left knee toward his right side but he managed to catch it and activate his chakra absorption without forming any hand seals.

'Dammit! I rushed him without thinking and did exactly what I knew what I wasn't supposed to do!...Ugh I can feel my chakra leaving me...I need to get out of his hold.' Satsuki quickly began to feel the chakra being drained from her. She didn't have much remaining as it was, the two jutsus took quite a bit out of her after tree hopping for over an hour. Then she noticed the shuriken protruding from the man's left leg. It was her only option to get away quick. Satsuki brought her right leg up and stomped down on the shuriken, pushing them in even deeper until they were completely imbedded in his leg.

Yoroi felt the sharp pain in his leg and immediately lost his grip on the girl's fist. The man yelped in agony as he tried to remove the shuriken from under his skin. Satsuki slowly regained her bearings and adjusted to the dizziness she felt from losing such a large amount of chakra so quickly. The sharingan user looked up to see her enemy staggering back and screaming in pain as he tried to remove the imbedded shuriken.

This would be her best opportunity and she wouldn't waste it. She disappeared in a burst of speed and reappeared just below Yoroi. She sent a hard kick right under his chin which sent him flying into the air. Satsuki disappeared once again and this time reappeared under him as she used the Konoha Kage Buyou (Leaf Shadow Dance) to prepare for her own unique combination.

"I'll admit this part isn't exactly original, but from here on out it's my own personal jutsu."

Satsuki sent a kick to the side, but it was easily blocked by Yoroi's forearm. He smirked victoriously thinking that he had prevented her from continuing, but what he didn't know was that was only a feint. Satsuki quickly maneuvered to Yoroi's right side and brought the back of her forearm down onto his face, sending him downwards. She followed up with a lariat to his chest and finally a heel drop to his abdomen just before they reached the ground. "Shishi Rendan (Lion's Barrage)!"
