Dark in the Forest of Death
I do not own nor claim to own Dragon age origins, or Naruto.
In the Forest of death in the hidden Shinobi village known as Kohona, the second preliminary exams were happening where genin from all of the hidden villages came to compete to become the shinobi rank of chunin. A lone shinobi jumped through the trees, he and his kind were known as collectors, he was a simple ninja from Iwa, sent to recover a heaven scroll, he had not had much progress however, it was the third day and it was just wrapping up. He needed to find shelter fast, lest he be eaten alive by the monsters that inhabit this damned forest. He saw a small cave nearby 'a perfect safe haven' he thought. It was not. He approached the cave, it was dimly lit and noises were resounding, the crackle of a fire, the sharpening of blades, and the turning of a spit. He used his stealth skills, to avoid the attention of the inhabitants in the cave. Crouching in an inlet of the cave as he watched what was going on. Twisted deformed humanoids were sitting in the center of the cave, the spit was being turned by a short goblin-like member of the group, and on the spit was 'a skinned human body' he nearly retched, the only thing stopping him is that if he did, the sound and smell would definitely attract these things, then he'd be the next meal. He watched as a taller figure with a spiked helmet (Hurlock Alpha) approached the roasted carcass attacking those that dare try and steal his right to first bite 'The alpha always gets first pick' he thought as he watched the alpha rip off the cooked skinless human arm through sheer strength, tearing tendons and muscle with ease. As the alpha walked away with his prize, he choked back vomit as the rest of the horde devolved into a mindless feeding frenzy. The horde surrounded the carcass and pulled, tore, and bit off what they could get a hold of, blood and internal organs were flying, he watched as a short one came in with a butcher's knife and came out with the heart of the diseased ninja. However when he turned to look away from the horrid sight he saw the alpha examining the ninja's headband, it was from an Iwa Genin at that moment he reached the tipping point, all of his training to control his emotions suddenly went to waste as he remembered the feeding frenzy on a brother in arms, he made the hand sign for a jutsu, one that would kill all of these monsters! However as he raised his arms to the position of the hand sign, he felt a sharp pain in his back, he looked down, and saw the unmistakable tip of a dagger piercing his stomach, his vision became blurry and he fell limp on the rusted steel tip of the knife.
The Genlock Rogue had hid behind the human as he entered the cave and stabbed him while he was most distracted. The gunlock removed the shiny headband the human had and began skinning him. Maybe the alpha would let him have first pickings this time.
Sakura was fighting the sound ninja that had tried to take the scroll. 'Just my luck, Naruto and Saskuke are still out of it.' Sakura thought as she held her kunai in one hand. However she saw strange shapes behind the sound ninja and winced as a loud shriek pierced her ears.
An: Prologue is up, but so many questions remain unanswered. Will the sound genin survive the Sharlock's attack? Will team seven survive as well? What of Ino, Shikkamaru, and Choiji? We'll just find out next chapter won't we?
