AN: Thanks for the reviews!! I'm glad people are enjoying it. Keep reviewing and here is next chapter as promised. Enjoy
Chapter 4The week of training was up. All of the genin who were to take part in the exam were waiting to be given their scroll and head into the forest. They were all just waiting for one team. Surprisingly enough, it wasn't Naruto's team. The missing team was one that no one really knew. They had come late and stayed hidden while training.
After 30 minutes of waiting, the mystery team finally came to the field. They were a cold looking team. Their faces wore no expression. There was one girl and two boys like most teams. The boy in the middle walked slightly ahead of the others and clearly thought himself superior. His arms and legs were completely covered in bandages. He also had a dark look in his eyes, which could tune whoever was under his gaze to ice. The girl had a smug looking face, as if she knew the out come of the matches before they even started. She also carried a parasol on her back. Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke remembered they once had to fight another ninja who was paid to sabotage the other clan's chance for winning a ran un tea country. They were hoping that her techniques were similar because if they were then they already know how to deal with her if they ever needed to. The last guy on the team was a really big guy. His face was completely blank and impassive. On his back he carried an extremely large hammer and he definitely had the muscles to use it. None of the ninja were looking forwards to discovering what his techniques were like.
"Well, you finally decided to turn up. A few more minuets and I would have had to disqualify you." Anko, the examiner for the second part of the exam said. She was waiting for a reply or excuse but all she received from the ninja was a small shrug from the girl. Anko decided not to push for an explanation; they were late enough as it was.
"OK. After I'm done talking you will collect either a earth or heaven scroll and then go to one of the entrances. No one will be at the same entrance. This is a race to get the other scroll from another team and then make it to the tower in the middle of the forest. Also you won't just have to worry about the teams you are competing with. You also have to worry about the different creatures in the forest. It isn't called the forest of death for nothing. Ok you can now go pick up your scrolls and get to a gate. When the gate opens, the race begins."
Everyone went one at a time to get their scroll. They were all very careful to make sure no one saw which scroll they got, otherwise they would turn into prime targets. Naruto's, Hinata's, Ino's, Neji's, and Nakoto's team got a heaven scroll and the rest got earth scrolls. Everyone was positioned at a gate and ready to go. Finally the gates opened to the dense forest and the race began.
All the teams took of at a fast pace to try and find the brother to their scroll.
"Naruto, Sasuke. We should slow down and conserve our strength. What is the point of quickly finding an opponent if we are too tired to fight once we find one." Sakura said sensibly. Luckily one person on their team had some common sense.
Hinata, Kiba, Akamaru, and Shino had slowed down a little bit into the forest and started going slightly to the left of the direct direction of the tower. Shino said it was their best chance to meeting up with another team.
"I'm hungry. Can we take a lunch break?"
"Choji, we have to keep going for now. How about we stop for food in say 3 hours. Does that sound ok?" Ino asked.
"Ya I guess I can hold on that long." Shikamaru just shook his head and chuckled lightly at his friend.
TenTen, Neji, and Lee were running at a steady pace toward the right of their gate. The noticed that the ones who had never done the exam had gone to that side of the forest. None of them wanted to fight their friends and they knew how strong their friends really were so they decided to find some of the newbies.
Nakoto, Suni, and Hoko stopped after about 1 hour of hard running.
"This looks like a good place to stop and set up our traps." Suni stated. They had run so they were in a direct path of one of the new teams. They had already found them in the forest and had noticed when they got their scroll; they didn't hide it well enough. Nakoto knew they had the earth scroll, which was exactly what they were looking for. They got about half a day's run ahead of the other team and set them up to fall right into their trap. Now all Nakoto, Suni and Hoko had to do was wait for the rookies to take the bait and get caught.
The Mystery team, that had arrived late, was looking for one person, and one person alone. They didn't care about the stupid Chunin exams. It really didn't matter. They just had to please their master. The only thoughts in that team's head were kill and serve the master. They had a bad case of blood lust. The thought of death on their hands caused them to go faster towards their target, who unfortunately was resting directly in their path.
AN: thanks for reading everyone. I had hoped to get two chapters done today but I just don't have the time so you will have to be happy with just one. Enjoy! And review!
