The Forest of Death! Part 2 of the Chunin exams!
The next day had finally arrived. The genin had all gathered to a fenced area with a thick dark almost swamp like forest with dark almost putrid greens and browns contrasting against the bright green grass and the khaki soil around them. The leaves hung like thick tangled locks on the hair of dirty street rats. All the Genin looked up at it. They also witnessed several large bugs crawling up some of the trees and a large snake swallow an eagle in one bite.
"This place is kind of creepy….." Kiki muttered as she and the boys looked up at it. The other rookies gathered behind them, getting their own view of what lay before them. Kabuto and his team both wearing the same masks and outfits looked up at it not as phased as the kids. Sakura shivered.
"Wow this place really gives me the creeps." she muttered.
Anko chuckled, with a slightly crazed grin. "It should, they call it the Forest of Death and soon enough you're gonna find out why." She sneered.
Naruto snorted on a confidence high since the first part of the Chunin exams was behind him. He also was thinking that Anko was trying to scare him much like Ikibi. "They call it the forest of death and soon enough you're gonna find out why!" He mimicked in a high pitched voice getting Riku to glare at him ready to hit him. "Do you worst you're not gonna scare me off ya know!"
Anko smiled making Riku stop in his tracks as he eyed her. "Well, well, we have a tough guy." She said smiling almost too sweetly like poisoned honey. She quickly pulled out a Kunai and threw it. Riku darted away as it slit Naruto's cheek and cut off a single hair from a Genin with long hair wearing a large hat as it hit the ground. She then teleported behind him; "Can you handle this?" she asked in a dark and sinister tone. She could sense Naruto's stunned silence as blood dripped down his cheek. "You're not afraid are you? Tough guys like you usually leave their blood all over this forest." She said touching it to get a lick when she sensed someone approach her she turned holding another kunai but saw a long tongue drying out in the air holding the kunai.
"I was….just returning it." she replied.
"Why thank you," she replied taking it as a dark shadow loomed between them especially on the Grass Genin. The air around them was extremely thick. "Ya know I recommend you only stand this close behind me if you want a premature death." She replied taking the kunai from her.
Riku stared trying not to gulp. "And I know why Sitka's terrified of her…."
The woman's tongue slithered back into her mouth. "My apologies, with the sight of blood on your kunai slicing through my hair….I'm afraid I got a little….excited." she admitted her hat shadowing her eyes as her lips curled up into a smile.
Hinata whimpered Naruto's name as the Grass Ninja turned and went back to her group two other Genin wearing the same hats and had a white cord around their shoulders she had a pale yellow tunic stretching down to her calves with dark brown pants and an undershirt and long black hair.
"Likewise." Anko replied as she slowly went.
"Brrr I thought this forest was creepy but that Grass Ninja is even creepier." Kiki thought as the older Ninja went by her. She slowly moved out of the way not wanting to keep eye contact.
Anko smiled as she went back to her place in front of the Genin. "Seems like everyone is quick tempered" she said mostly to herself, before grinning, "must be something in the air. This is gonna be fun."
"You're not doing so cool either, you're the one that threw a Kunai at him." Riku thought to himself as Naruto who was probably thinking the same thing rubbed his cheek a little.
"Now before we begin this test I have something to hand out to you all." She said pulling out a stack of papers."
"What are those?" Nika asked.
"Just standard consent forms." She replied smiling. Everyone stared at her. "Before you enter all of you are going to have to read over this form and then sign it."
"How come?" Naruto asked.
"Because some of you might not come back, and I need your consent for that reason." She replied before smiling. "Otherwise it would be my responsibility." She replied laughing.
Everyone chatted to themselves about how Anko was insane. Some were in disbelief to this. "She's kidding right?" Yoshi asked nervously.
"I don't think so….sadly…." Sakura replied.
"Now I'll explain what you'll be doing on this test. Here pass these out." She said giving the pile to Naruto as he began to do so. "The first thing you need to know is that this test will test every one of your survival skills. Shikamaru yawned thinking how much of a drag it was as Anko pulled out another parchment.
"First I'll give you all a description of the terrain on the practice field." She said unrolling a map. "The forty-fourth battle training zone has forty-four locked gates. There rivers and a forest inside. In the center is a locked tower located ten Kilometers inside. It's in this confined area that you'll undergo the survival test. The test consists of," she said putting the scroll back into her coat and looking up at them. "An anything goes battle to get your hands on these scrolls." She said pulling out two scrolls, one with a dark green outside the other was an off white.
"Both of them?" Riku asked.
"Yes, you'll be fighting to get both a Heaven scroll and an Earth scroll." Anko replied. "All together 26 teams will be par taking in this test which means half of them will be going after the Heaven scroll." She said gesturing to the white scroll in her right hand. "And the other half." She said jesturing the Blue one, "Will be going after the Earth Scroll. I'll hand over one of each to each team and that's what you'll be vying for." She replied holding both in one hand.
"Okay so how do we pass the test?" Kiki asked.
"Your entire squad must bring both a Heaven and Earth Scroll to the tower." Anko replied.
"But that means at best half of us are gonna fail!" Naruto stated.
"Or even less both can get the scrolls," Riku added.
"No one said this was gonna be easy, oh and by the way the test has a time limit you must finish it within five days." Anko said putting the scrolls back in her jacket.
"Five days out there?!" Ino asked in shock.
"WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO FOR FOOD?!" Choji shouted.
"Look around you, there's plenty of stuff in the forest enough to feed you all." Anko replied simply.
"Yeah but that's not that's not all the forest has to offer. There are also man eating beasts and poisonous plants out there." Kabuto pointed out.
"Awww maaaaaannn!" Choji groaned. "Quiet down this is why they call it survival."
"That means with these circumstances there's no way half the Teams will pass the test….." Neji muttered. Lee nodded.
"With the days getting longer the nights are getting shorter which means there will be less time to rest….a challenge indeed!" he said perking up his teeth glimmering.
Riku looked to the foreboding brush. "But that means we'll be completely surrounded by enemies there won't be time to rest we'll have to keep a constant watch."
"Right this test is designed to test endurance behind enemy lines, it's mean to be grueling. And chances are some of you won't be up for the challenge." Anko replied.
Shikamaru raised his hand. "So uh, let's say mid exam, can we quit?"
"No you can't just quit in the middle of a battle." Anko scolded before thinking. "Well I guess you could but it might get you killed," she said, finding the thought funny.
"Oh just great!" Shikamaru sighed, this gonna be a drag….." he sighed. Ino just had a perturbed thousand yard stare as Choji ate more of his chips.
"There are also some ways you can get disqualified," Anko added. "The first is simple if all three members of a Team fail to make it to the tower with both scrolls after five days; Two If a Team loses a member or if one or more becomes incapacitated and cannot continue. But most importantly none of you absolutely none of you must read the contents of the scrolls before you reach the tower."
What happens if it flaps open and you just happen to read it?" Naruto asked.
Anko laughed at him. "Let me put to you this way kid. You. Don't. Want. Too. Know." Naruto groaned hanging his head. "There are times when a Ninja will be asked to carry secret Documents the scroll rule is to test your integrity. Okay we're done each team take your consent forms and when you're done hand them in and I'll exchange them for a scroll." She let out a sigh. "Oh and I have one more piece of advice. Don't die!"
X X X
As the group gathered around, Kiki scribbled her name onto her sheet and had taken hers and boys bags, looking over the supplies. "Four canteens of water, two boxes of matches, three day's supply of food, a week's supply of medical equipment, and thirty kunai between us and everyone's stocked well on ninja tools." she sighed in relief. "We'll have to hunt if we can't make it there by the third day but that's better than nothing, tools, water and first aid are more important anyway." She started packing it up. Riku on the other hand was sitting on a large rock to survey the area. He was about to sign his own name but observed the desk where the wavers would be exchanged for scrolls.
"I see how it is, we won't know which team has what scroll or who's carrying it….stealing information is really a matter of life and death…." He thought to himself as he signed the waver. No backing out now. "Just like Ikibi said, everyone's equally determined to pass….And all of them are our enemies."
Naruto quickly signed his own waver. As did the other genin who were willing to participate, that surprisingly included Sakura and Shikamaru.
Anko watched as the Genin talked amongst themselves, she smiled "Well it looks like they're starting to understand what's really involved in this test."

As Naruto was busy looking over his gear one more time, he noticed Hinata standing under a tree. "Hey what are you doing all the way out here?" he asked she turned in surprise.
"Oh Naruto!" she gasped.
"Oh I Just uuhhhh nothing…." She replied looking away.
"That's Hinata for you…." Naruto thought to himself. She suddenly saw the cut on his face.
"Oh your cut!" she gasp before reaching into her pocket. "Here I have this!" she said
"Hey Naruto!" Riku shouted catching the boy's attention.
"Oh uh gotta go!" he shouted waving back not even seeing the ointment as he rushed to meet his team mates.
"Oh….I'll just hold onto it then." she thought.
Soon the curtain that had been pulled up had been pulled back. "Alright everyone we're going to start handing out scrolls." He said. The groups of genin all got up and one by one all the teams made their way to the booth to get their scrolls.
"I wonder if any of them will survive this." Anko asked herself watching. Naruto handed over all their wavers as they obtained a Heaven scroll. Soon the last of the scrolls were passed out "Listen up all the scrolls have been handed out so go to your gate and wait there! When the gate's open the test is on!" she called after checking her watch, and they each went to a gate.
Hinata's team, were at gate sixteen, Kiba let out a cheer. "We rock at survival there's no way we can lose at this." He glanced over, "Hinata, you'd better be strong for this!"
"Uh right," she muttered a little unsure.
At gate twenty-seven was Shikamaru's team. "The test could cost us our lives…..this is such a drag!" Shikamaru sighed. "But since we have to do it, it'll be smart to attack a weaker team first, like Yoshi's" Ino nodded before looking at her other team mate with an exasperated raised eyebrow. Choji was too busy going over his food.
At Gate Nine was Sakura's Team. "I hope you two are ready," Yoshi said.
"Even if we weren't, its too late to turn back now," Nika said. "We gotta see this through, no matter what." He said as Sakura nodded Inner Sakura fist pumped.
"Chaaa! Bring it on! We're gonna win this! There's no way we'll lose!"
Riku's Team was at gate twelve, "Alright! I dare you to try Ninja! I'll throw anything you dish out back, believe it!"
Kiki nodded determinedly as Riku looked up at the forest confidently, "Yeah that's right!" he said.
At gate twenty had Dosu's team at it smirking. Dosu whispered to them quietly, with a chuckle. "The Time has come to carry out our orders in the open. Kabuto's Team was at gate thirty eight and Gaara's six.
"Great not only will I have to deal with the punks on the other teams, I'll be with Gaara and he might try to kill me…." Kankuro thought nervously. He had glanced at Temari, knowing she was thinking the same thing, there was fear in her eyes.
At Gate fifteen were the Grass Genin lead by the girl who had returned Anko's kunai. "We'll target the rookies, they're easy prey!" said a large one with black eye shadow and lip stick one with a stone mask was listening in. They wore ninja fishnet clothing and black and white robes as the leader spoke up.
"We'll get their scroll from them in no time. Anything goes right?" she said sinisterly.
At Gate forty one was Team Guy. Lee's eyes burning with passion. "Guy Sensei, I will make you proud! Just watch, soon everyone will know the name Rock Lee!" Neji gave a confident smirk along with Tenten waited at their gate.

Soon one of the proctors came up and unlocked the chains from Team Seven's gate. Soon the locks and chains were pulled away. One more minute, passed. "Alright heads up you maggots! The second part of the Chunin exams has begun!" she shouted loudly, the gates flung open and everyone rushed in.
The Grass Ninja leader as she ran called out to the others. "You know who we're looking for!"
"Right those three brats." The other replied.
Team Seven marched into their own gate as Naruto cheered. "Well alright, here we go guys!"
"YEAH!" the two shouted.
Teams ten, eleven and Gaara were already flying through the trees.
"Sakura I think I have an idea, let's find somewhere secure to talk!" Yoshi called.
"Okay!" Sakura replied with a nod as Nika and Tiko followed Yoshi towards a small grove.
Team eight landed a few meters into the forest and began talking. "Okay first thing we've got to do is to find it. Are you ready Hinata?" Kiba asked.
She nodded and charged up her chakra clasping her hands together with one finger up, "Byakugan!" She declared as she began detecting for their target.
Team Guy was already making their way through the trees. Lee getting ahead, "Take it easy Lee, the test has only just begun."
"That may be," Lee replied not turning his head focusing on moving. "Whoever our enemies are, I want to find them before they find us!" he declared.
"You hot-blooded fool," Neji joked.
The sound Ninja jumped through the trees as well. "We have only one target stay focused…." Dosu instructed.
X X X
"So Tiko, you understand the plan right?" Yoshi asked.
"Steal the scroll we need, sneak away, and we head off with the two scrolls to the tower, meow." He replied.
"Perfect, now all we have to do is find a Heaven scroll. Get it and we're done. Anyone comes after us we'll be fresh and ready to go!" Yoshi declared.
They suddenly heard laughing it was Kala who was sitting eating with his Team Kala tossing the Heaven scroll around a bit before putting it down. "I knew this was gonna be a piece of cake!"
"Mmmm cake…." One of the thugs said as Team Eleven watched them carefully. Tiko's ears were twitching his eyes scanning the area to see when he could go as Kala hit one of his team mates in the head.
"Hey Bozo focus, once we eat we're out of here! I wouldn't care but I'm pissed at you for making me miss breakfast, seriously what would you idiot's do without me!?" Kala snapped placing down the scrolls and standing to glare at them more, as Tiko grabbed the scroll and ran off with it back to his team and they scampered off. He sighed, sitting back down and went to take a bite of an apple when he noticed something missing but it was too late. He looked around frantically. "Where's the scroll? WHERE'S THE DAMN SCROLL?!"
Tiko and the others cheered laughing as they used the body flicker technique to get as far from Kala as possible. "Alright anyone else feel super avenged right now?!" Yoshi asked happily.
"CHAAA! I do! Let's go to that tower!" Sakura cheered as they rushed forward to their target, inner Sakura showing through, all three had also been targets of Kala's bullying in the past. Nika laughed as well.
"If we keep this up, we might even get head of the other teams! I wonder how long Choji will hold out." He said as they jumped through the branches.
"Are you kidding me? He's eating now!" Sakura said flatly.
X X X
As predicted Choji was sitting eating a bag of Potato chips, "Hey I've gotta keep my strength up don't I?" he asked before going back to stuffing his face.
"You and your food, this is a survival test you know! You should've packed more Kunai and less Candy!" Ino growled.
Shikamaru gasped having heard something. "You guys, quick hide!" he said urgently as he and Ino jumped into the bushes pulling Choji along. It was a team of Rain Ninja he gasped when he saw a stray potato chip and shut his eyes however the Rain Ninja went having not noticed the chips on the ground. Ino sighed in relief as Choji just stared blinking.
"Aww man I've gotta deal with five more days of this?!" He groaned in his mind.
X X X
Another team of Rain Ninja spotted and even heard Kiba talking to Shino and Hinata as they watched. "So if the tower is initially where everyone is headed I say we lay a trap near it and take the scrolls as they come."
Akamaru sniffed growling a little bit. Kiba smirked, "well, well we've got company." He said alerting the other two.
The one rain ninja with a brown jumpsuit black hair and eye tattoos sneered. "Stupid brats, they're acting like they want to get caught."
The one in a grey jumpsuit and helmet smiled watching as he jumped onto the tree next to his orange haired partner. "Well it seems they've sensed our presence but they're so lame that they can't even pin point our location." he said landing.
Suddenly the one with tattoos looked very pale. He started to look faint. "Hey what's wrong?" Asked the orange one he turned slightly trying not to fall. He could suddenly see the back of his shirt wriggling. "What's with your shirt?!" he asked getting scared now. Suddenly something large and black with dark brown stripes poked out. "UHHHHHG WHAT IS THAT?!" he shrieked as more like it fell, Shino and the others watched. The two screamed as they were attacked, Kiba and Shino laughed.
"Well, well, looks like the leeches found them. They sense body temperature and perspiration and in a group they swoop down on their prey. If they suck your blood for five minutes, it's all over." Kiba said.
"They're very intelligent and we took advantage of their instincts to capture the enemies." Shino added as one tried to get up only to have several stuck to him trying to suck him dry as several dead ones surrounded them as they got extremely weak.
"Get off me!" one cried weakly only to trip a wire getting them caught in a net screaming. Kiba smirked
"There's one team down." he said as they shrieked, which could be heard by Anko who smirked.
"Sounds like the fun has begun," she said with a dark chuckle.
X X X
Team seven also heard a shriek. Kiki jumped, covering her mouth. "That sounded like a scream…." Naruto said nervously.
"Yeah….we better hurry," Riku said. "Let's get an Earth scroll and head to the tower."
"First we have to find another team." Kiki added. She looked around at the forest, the screams going very silent. Some disturbed birds flew right over them. "I do not like this place…." She muttered.
"Uhhh Excuse me," Naruto said trying to find a bush. "I gotta…ya know…"
"Right, hurry up and be careful." Riku said as their friend disappeared a few feet away.
"I feel like we shouldn't split up here….." Kiki muttered.
"He'll be fine," Riku assured. After a couple of minutes, they suddenly heard tumbling two Naruto's rolled out of the bushes.
"Get off me!" One shouted punching the other. Riku immediately suspected Genjutsu and maybe Naruto had a shadow clone stand watch, but when it didn't disappear that wasn't it.
"Naruto!" Kiki shouted.
"Kiki, Riku quick, this guy's a Rain Ninja trying to impersonate me!" One Naruto shouted. The two nodded and came after him leaving the other Naruto alone.
"What the hell don't just attack! You could kill your team mate!" 'Naruto' Snapped.
"Yeah we would if it wasn't obvious!" Kiki growled tying him up with vines and lifting him up.
"Whoa, how'd you find out so quickly!?" Naruto asked as the other slashed at the vines with a kunai.
"Take a close look at him." Riku replied as Naruto looked then he grinned.
"Well, well, looks like he sucks at transformation." He said tempted to laugh at his doppelganger.
"Yeah that one doesn't have the cut on his face you got from Anko, not only that the shuriken holster is on the wrong leg." Riku replied.
"Yeah you kept it on your right leg since your right handed." Kiki added, before turning her gaze onto the fake. "I'm surprised someone as lame as you made it this far into the Chunin exams, let alone got recommended at all." The other Naruto growled.
"I thought rookies were supposed to be easy targets!" he growled before changing back into a rain Ninja wearing a pale yellow jump suit and a mask that made his voice sound like it was going through a modifier. "Guess I have no choice, which one of you has the scroll!?" he asked the team was silent. "If you give it up quietly I'll spare your lives." No one reacted.
"Fine then I'll just have to take it from you!" he shouted rushing forward at the three of them.
Riku was the first to jump, weaving hand signs. "Fire Style Phoenix flower Jutsu!" He shouted small fire balls rushing down towards the Rain genin who expertly dodged it but was immediately hit by a beam of wood Kiki had quietly summoned to knock him into a tree. Naruto wove hand signs of his own before sucking in air.
"Wind style Great Breakthrough Jutsu!" Instantly the Rain Ninja was hit with a powerful burst of air and sent flying into a tree with enough force to knock the air out of him. However it changed into log. "Substitution?"
They looked around for the enemy genin. Kiki however saw something leap towards Riku. She gasped using her chakra she launched herself towards him. "Behind you!" she shouted. Riku turned as she flew by, pulling out two kunai and slashing the genin's chest causing an 'X' shaped mark that started to bleed as he hit the ground with a thud. Kiki and Riku leaped back by Naruto.
"Alright, Kiki!" Naruto cheered happily.
"Don't let your guard down; remember every teams a three man cell! The other two might not be far behind!" Riku barked quickly.
"Uhhhgggg…" the rain genin groaned getting up clutching his upper torso. "I wish…. I came alone to not seem suspicious. Big Mistake!" he muttered throwing down a smoke bomb and escaping.
"Man what an idiot, coming alone…." Riku sighed.
X X X
The group walked for a little bit not wanting to go too far away from each other in silence before Riku stopped them. "Listen we can't stick together forever out here, and if we get separated again it'll be very easy for someone to get the jump on us by disguising themselves as one of us. So we'll need a pass code." Riku replied.
"Okay, like what? It can't be something easily guessed." Kiki pointed out. "And if a different password is given we have to assume they're the enemy no matter what."
"Exactly," Riku said as Naruto nodded along. "But we won't be using a password; we'll ask questions only our real team mates would know."
Kiki said smiling. "Nice work. That'll make it hard for anyone to impersonate us."
"Okay what should I ask you guys if I get separated?" Naruto asked.
"Something only me and Kiki would know. Like who were the first two Ninja we encountered while escorting the bridge builder. Or what's the head of the Rogue Uchiha's name." Riku replied, none of them had noticed that there was a mysterious reed behind them sticking out of the ground. Naruto smiled and opened his mouth but Riku shushed him. "Even walls have ears." He added.
"Alright let's get that other scroll." Naruto said as he stood. But he suddenly felt a slight cut on his cheek he checked it. "That's weird, it's almost like….." there was suddenly a large torrent of wind coming at them a high pitched whistling hit their ears as they were sent crashing through the forest.
The leader of the grass Ninja finished her jutsu before addressing her companions "You two go out into the woods and fan out, I'll handle this alone. This shouldn't be too hard."
"Right," one of them said as they took off.
X X X
Having been knocked off a tree truck and crashing into a bush, a dazed Riku shook his head to clear it and hid in the bush as he tried to figure what just happened and where his team was. He sensed something and jumped out with a kunai, "Kiki?!"
"Yeah it's me, was that a wind jutsu?" Kiki asked.
"First answer my question? What's my favorite food?" Riku replied warily.
"Shrimp and pork dumplings with sauce to dip which needs a perfect flavor balance for you to enjoy it most." She replied.
"Ok good, it is you," He sighed in relief. "Where's Naruto?"
"I think he got the brunt of it. Which means….he could have been swept half way across the forest…." Kiki said fearfully. "I hope he's okay."
"Heeeyyyy!" shouted Naruto as he rushed over. "Are you guys okay?"
"That was fast, and not in the direction of the Jutsu, could he be... " Kiki thought. "Stop!" she shouted making him do so. "Answer the question, who were the first two Ninja we encountered while escorting Tazuna the bridge builder." She said tipping off Riku that something might be wrong and remembering her analysis of the attack.
"Yeah, it was Haku and Zabuza." The blond haired boy answered. Instantly Riku threw a kunai, but Naruto dodged in a way that reminded him of Itachi's movements.
"Hey what's the deal, that was exactly right!" Naruto shouted.
"Are you sure?" Riku asked, "Because it doesn't sound right to me. Its true we did encounter them. But Zabuza was the third and Haku the fourth. The first two we encountered were the Demon Ninja brothers. Not only that the way you dodged was not a Naruto move."
"Yeah the way you moved just now, that wouldn't be out of place for a way Kakashi sensei, or Itachi to move but not Naruto." Kiki added.
"I knew she asked that question to make double sure, it's common knowledge we did fight Zabuza and Haku but it's not nearly as widely known we found the Demon Ninja brothers first."
Naruto smiled an uncharacteristic smile, licking his lips "What a clever boy." He said in a completely different voice. He dismissed the disguise leaving a powerful burst of smoke revealing the Grass Ninja from earlier her hand on her hat. "Why not use an actual password like a Ninja creed."
"Because personal questions like that work better," Riku replied simply. "That makes it so much harder for the enemy to imitate our team mates. Also questions like the one Kiki asked could also work as a trap if they didn't know little details like that."
The woman pulled down the rain hat and smiled licking her lips again sending chills down their spines. "I'm impressed you certainly haven't let down your guard have you? This promises to be very entertaining." She chuckled.
"She's the embodiment of creepy…but where is Naruto?" Kiki thought to herself.
X X X
"You really are hopeless aren't you? Taking a jutsu to the face like that." The Kyubi's voice rang as Naruto sat up rubbing his head. "Ow stupid fox I'll show you hope-" he groaned before his mind kicked in, "ack! Someone attacked!" he said jumping up, kunai out ready to strike. But there was no one. "Riku's got the scroll! That means they're after him! I've gotta get back to the others. Okay, Okay which way do I…." He said as a shadow loomed over him. He sensed it and gasped jumping away but the snake rushed after him. Naruto wasn't able to out run it and was completely swallowed screaming as he traveled down the snakes throat into the upper stomach, The snake, then contently slid off.
