Hey peeps. I hope you are enjoying the story! Please let me know what you all think! If there is a fight you would like to see or anything.
"Miz, I am kind of worried." Yuki tells me as we walk toward our destination.
"Why would you be worried?" I answer back with an annoyed voice.
"Well, we haven't seen father for a while..." Yuki says
"So?" I reply
"Well… I thought we would need him to tell us when he plans on giving Sasuke the curse mark." Yuki says in a whisper.
"He will reveal himself soon." I say "besides it is going to be in The Forest of Death, so he will be disguised as a ninja and their team. We should be able to find him easily."
"I know, but we don't even know who this Shiore of Kusagakure looks like."
"Stop worrying, Yuki."
We continue to walk toward our destination because father has disappeared on us, so we decided to follow some rain ninja to the place. We go through what looks like the Leaf village's training field and upon a huge gate. I look around and I see the other ninja have made it, including Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, and the other Genin.
"What is this place?" I hear Naruto say.
I look back at the gate and I see a small poster that says, 'Area forbidden.' There are also some more Leaf ninja here.
"This is where the Second Exam will take place." Anko says to us. "The 44th training area… also known as the Forest of Death."
I couldn't help but smirk at the name. Things are about to get real interesting. This might even be a good place to kill Sakura… that's if she could make it out alive.
"The Forest of Death?" Naruto says with a freaked out look on his face.
'Come on Naruto! I could see Sakura having that pathetic look on her face but not you!' I glance over at Sasuke and he has the same look as Naruto and Sakura. 'This is going to be a hard day.' I glance once more at the gate and this time I noticed that there are all these crazy chains on the gate.
"Looks like they are trying to keep things from coming out rather than going in, don't you think?" Yuki says to me in a whisper.
"No kidding." I say back to him with a small chuckle.
"Hey look at Naruto." Yuki says to me while pointing in Naruto's direction. "He has something following him."
I look and I see Naruto running from some fake rock. It looks like someone is trying to pretend not to be noticed. When the 'rock' begins to run it looks like it has three pairs of legs. I wonder if it is those same three kids that I helped out last time.
"Hey! Komohamaru!" Naruto yells at the 'rock', "What are you doing here?"
"I should have expected that from the man I look up to." Says Komohamaru from inside the box. "Good job detecting me." With that the three of them come out of the box.
"The one who possess the sex appeal of an adult, and the female ninja from the senior group, Moegi" says Moegi.
'What the hell are they doing?' I think as I watch them.
"The one who loves dividing numbers, Udon." Says Udon.
"This Village's number one Genin Ninja, Komohamaru." Says Komohamaru.
"And the three of us make, the Komohamaru Corps!" they all say in unison.
"What do you three want?" Naruto asks them. "I'm about to take the Second Exam for the Chunin Selection." Naruto says with an annoyed voice. "I don't have time to play with you."
"We didn't come here to play!" Komohamaru says.
"Yeah, we came here on a story." Says Moegi.
"Yes, Yes." Says Udon
Udon is not one with many words…
"A story?" Naruto asks
"Yes." Nods Komohamaru. "We were told to write an exclusive story on the Chunin Selection Exam for our school paper.
"So we came to ask you some questions." Says Moegi "Please cooperate."
This is really not the time, nor place. I wonder what will happen to them when Anko sees this.
"Please." Says Udon with a bow.
"But." Says Naruto.
"Hey there! What are you doing?!" says Anko.
Ha! You are going to get it now.
"Komohamaru wants to do an exclusive for his school paper or something." Says Naruto.
"Oh!" says Anko with a surprised face. "Yes, I remember Hokage-sama mentioned something like that." She says with a smile and rubbing the back of her head.
She is just like Naruto…
"Alright then!" she yells out to us. "We're going to have a 10 minute break now. If you are asked any questions just concede and cooperate quietly." Anko tells us.
"Yuki-" I begin to call but when I turned Yuki disappeared. Where did he go? If he makes me answer these question I will personally kill him. I continue to look around and I see Komohamaru asking Naruto questions. Naruto sure loves the questions. I then see Moegi walk over to me.
"Hello, Mizuki…ummm…. Is it ok if I ask you some questions?" Moegi asks me with a scared look.
I sigh. Seems like I have no choice. "Sure. What do you want to ask?"
"Ok!" she says with a big smile. "First I would like you to introduce yourself." Moegi tells me as she holds out a pen and paper.
"Okay. My name is Mizuki Kyoto. I am a Genin from the Hidden Sound Village. I am here taking the Chunin Selection Exam with my twin brother, Yuki Kyoto." I tell her.
She writes all of this down and then looks up at me. "Do you have any dreams or goals?"
'I do have one dream…' I think to myself. 'That dream is to make a true friend and to truly belong in a village, but I can't tell her that. I guess I have no choice but to lie…' "I don't have any big dreams, but only small little ones and my current small dream is to finish this Chunin Exam."
"That is pretty cool." She says as she writes on the little notepad. "What can you tell me about your brother Yuki? And why are there only two people on your team?" she asks me.
'Perfect, I could test out that lie now.' I think to myself. "There are only two people on the team because when we were in our academy there were not enough students to make perfect three man squads. No matter which way you divided the students there were either one to many or one to less. Thus they decided to divide us in threes with one team of two." I say to her with a straight face. "The hard part for the sensei was choosing which two students will be the two man team. They decided it would be Yuki and I because we were/ are the strongest of the Genin."
I wait till she finished writing what I had said into her little notepad before I continue.
"Now about Yuki." I say with a sigh. "He is one that worries about getting in trouble. He has no problem following me in whatever I say, but he worries and lets the others know the dangers of doing something. He is a good team member. He also likes to joke around a lot and day dream at critical times."
She writes all of that down. "Geez thanks Mizuki!" she says with a smile.
"No problem." I reply with a smile.
"Hey! Your ten minute break is over." Yells Anko. "Everyone come back now!"
"See ya." I say to Moegi as I walk back. When I get half way back Yuki jumps down next to me. "Where were you Yuki?"
"Who me?" He says with a smile. "Well I was up in a tree watching you get questioned. You didn't say anything about the mission right?" he says with a worried look.
"No Yuki. I told her exactly what we are going to tell Anko if she asks. About why we are a two man squad." I tell him.
"Good!" Yuki says with a smile.
"You will be able to experience why this place is called the Forest of Death." Anko says.
I watch Naruto as he makes fun of Anko. I walk over to him and punch him in the head. "Naruto. Pay attention if you want to survive."
"But there is no point in trying to scare us like that." Naruto says as he rubs the spot of where I punched him. "I'm not scared at all."
"Really? You sure are energetic." Anko tells him with a smile. She then throws a kunai at him that grazes his cheek. I watch as the kunai as it nearly misses a grass ninja. Anko then appears right behind Naruto while saying, "Boys like you die the fastest." She then holds onto his right cheek while the left one is bleeding. She then moves her left hand to touch the blood on his cheek. "After spilling all that red blood that I love all over the place…" she then pulls out another kunai to attack a grass ninja with a long tongue that is holding the kunai that Anko threw. Naruto has a petrified face.
Is that father? I look at Yuki and he is studying that ninja too.
"Here's your knife." Says the Grass ninja with the long tongue.
Anko looks back at him with a smile, "Thank you. But don't stand behind me like that. That is unless you want to die young." Anko says as she grabs the Kunai and the Grass ninja puts the tongue back in his mouth.
I look at the grass ninja's outfit and I realize that it is the same outfit as fathers. It is the usual tan shirt with that ugly looking purple tube like bow on the back. He really out did himself. I now see that Sasuke Uchiha is going to get this curse mark.
"Well, I get itchy when I see blood. Also my precious hair was cut, so I got a little excited." Says the ninja.
"Yuki-kun…." Hinata says
Yuki looks at her with a small blush. "What's up Hinata?"
"I hope… that Naruto-kun will be ok…" she says with worry.
"He will be fine!" Says Yuki with a smile.
"Looks like we now know who Shiore of Kusagakure is."
"indeed." Yuki says.
"I'm sorry" says the Grass ninja as he begins to walk away.
"It looks like there are a lot of hot headed people here today." Anko says with a smirk. "This is going to be interesting."
'You're the most hot head person here, Anko.' I think as I watch her.
"Before we begin the Second Exam, I'm going to pass these out to everyone." She says while holding out consent forms.
I watch as everyone gives her a 'what the fuck' face. It seems like we will be expected to die…
"These are consent forms that. Those taking this exam must sign these." Anko tells us.
"Why?" Naruto asks.
"From here on people will die." Anko says with a smirk.
I also smirk as I look at sakura. When she meets my eye she flinches and then looks away. 'Ha. Wimp.'
"Therefore we need peoples consent before we continue." Anko tells us. "Otherwise I will be held responsible." She says with a chuckle. "Now I will begin the explanation of the Second Exam." She says as she passes the consent forms.
I look at Yuki as I whisper, "You better not die on me."
He chuckles as he says, "You better not slow me down."
We grab out consent forms and sign them, while Anko continues, "To be concise, you will all go through an extreme survival match. "
'Survival match huh. This will be easy. Yuki and I had to survive every day with those missions father gave us.' I think with a smirk.
"First." She says while showing us a tiny map. "I'll explain the training area's geographical features. The 44th training area is a circular region surrounded by 44 locked gate entrances. There is a river, a forest, and a tower in the middle. The tower is approximately 10km from the gates. Inside this limited space you will have to go a certain survival program. The program consists of…" she says as she puts away the map. "A competition where anything goes over, these scrolls." She says as she pulls out two scrolls.
"Scrolls?" Yuki asks.
"Yes." Says Anko, "The Scroll of Heaven and the Scroll of Earth. You will fight over these scrolls. 26 teams in total passed the first exam; half of those teams will get the Scroll of Heaven." She says while holding up the white scroll. "The other half will get the Scroll of Earth." She says while holding up the blue scroll. "Each team will get one of these scrolls. Simply you will have to fight over these."
"And what's needed to pass?" I ask her.
"Bring the Scrolls of Heaven and Earth to the tower with your teammates." Anko says.
"In other words, the 13 teams, or half of the people here, that get their scroll stolen will fail." Sakura says.
"But it needs to be done within the time limit. This exam has a time limit of 120 hours." Anko says, "or exactly five days."
'That is more than enough time to get these scrolls.' I think to myself as I eye the competition.
"Five days?!" Ino says.
"What about food?" says Chouji.
"What's wrong? You guys don't know how to survive in the woods? Or find food for yourselves?" I say coldly.
Yuki chuckles at my statement.
"Scrounge it up yourselves." Anko tells them "The forest is a treasure box of nature, there should be plenty of food."
"However." Yuki says with a smile. "I bet there are plenty man-eating beasts, poisons bugs, and poisons plants."
"Oh no." says Chouji.
"Stupid that's why it's called survival." Ino tells him.
"Also, it is not possible that 13 teams or 39 people to pass." Says Neji.
"As time passes you will be required to move more." Lee responds. "So, the time to rest your body will be shorter. This seems quite rough." Lee says with a smile.
"And were surrounded by enemies." Sasuke says. "We won't be able to sleep in peace."
"People will get hurt in the process of fighting over the scroll." Anko says. "And those who cannot bear this programs strictness will emerge, as well."
"Excuse me." Shikamaru says while raising his hand. "Can we quit in between?"
"As a rule you are not allowed to give up during the exam. You will spend five days in the forest." She says with a smile.
"Just as I thought." Says Shikamaru. "How troublesome."
"While we are on the topic, here are the conditions that will make you fail." Anko says. "First, a team that cannot bring the two scrolls to the tower with the three teammates will fail. Second, a team that loses a teammate or produces an unrecoverable teammate will fail."
'Shit. That means I cannot kill Sakura… I need to make sure that Sasuke makes it to the end, alive…' I think as I give Sakura a look that says you are lucky.
"Also just as a note, you are not allowed to look inside the scrolls until you reach the tower." Anko says.
"What happens if you look inside?" Naruto asks.
"That's a surprise you'll see when you look at It." she says with a teasing voice. "If you become a Chunin you will be handling top secret documents. It's to determine your reliability. That's it for the explanation." She says. "We will exchange three consent forms for one scroll at the hut, except for that one team with two members. You're a special case." She says while pointing to the small hut. "After picking your gate entrance, everyone will begin at the same time." She sighs. "Here's the last piece of advice. Don't die!"
Yuki and I already signed our consent forms so all we have to do is get a scroll. I watch as the Leaf ninja begin to put a curtain up. 'I see…so we don't see what types of scrolls each team has and which of the three is carrying it. It is just like how Ibiki said. In this exam, gathering information is done by putting your life on the line. Everyone is an enemy.' I begin to look at everyone. 'The determination here is solid. That means we will kill each other.'
"We are going to have to be careful with Gaara." Yuki says calmly. "He is similar to us. He won't hesitate to kill; only he seeks the kill."
I look at Yuki as I stand up. "Do not worry, Yuki, we will make it alive."
He chuckles. "You better be right, but if I pass out you will carry me on your back right!" he says with a grin.
"Lets go get the scroll you moron." I say as I walk toward the hut.
