Y/N's POV

"W-What is this place?!" Naruto asks looking at all the signs and locks. "This is the location for the second exam, the 44th training field. Also known as the Forest of Death." Anko says. There's a silence as the wind blows, "Forest of Death?!" Naruto asks.

I spot a 'rock' moving towards us again and nudge Naruto. He looks and glares for a bit. He starts to walk and it follows him. He starts to run faster and faster as everyone just stares. Naruto turns around and points at it, "Hey, Konohamaru! What is it that you want?! There is no such thing as a perfectly square rock!" Naruto yells.

"Just what I expect from the man I respect! Good job on figuring it out!" They make it disappear again and start coughing, "Where have I seen this before…?" Y/N wonders as they stand up.

"I'm Moegi of the senior class Kunoichi preschool!"

"I love factoring! Call me Udon!"

"And I'm the most brilliant Ninja in the village! Konohamaru! And the three of us are the Konohamaru Gang!" They all introduce themselves. "Yeah I knew it was you guys. What do you want? I'm getting ready to take the second Chunin Exam. I can't play with you guys right now." Naruto states, "We didn't come to play around! We're on a mission." Konohamaru says. "Yeah, we came here for an interview!" Moegi says.

"Yeah, we were put in charge to write the feature article for the Chunin Exam, for the academy newspaper." Konohamaru explains. "So that's why we came to do and exclusive interview with you. Please cooperate with us." Moegi pleads. "Hey! Over there! What are you doing at the exams?" Anko comes over and asks. "Konohamaru here is asking abo0ut an interview for the class newspaper…" Naruto tells her. She gasps, "Oh, I forgot that Lord Hokage was mentioning something like that." She rubs the back of her head.

"All right, take a 10-minute break starting now!" She announces as I facepalm, "For those who are scheduled to be interviewed, resign yourselves and be coureous." She finishes. "Hey, hey… What's this all about? I thought I was the only one being interviewed."

"Big brother Naruto! I'm depending on you. You are the most important." Naruto smiles at Konohamaru, "In that case, I'll just show you how attractive I am." I facepalm multiple times in a row and shake my head.

Y/N's POV

"Alright, first introduce yourself." Konohamaru tells Naruto and I go up to a tree. I watch from there until I spot Gaara. I jump down next to him. He looks a little surprised. "Hey, Gaara." I greet. He nods, "Did you need something?" He inquires. I shake my head, "We're friends right?" His eyes widen and he asks, "Why? Why are you being so nice I could kill you." I shake my head, "Nah, I want to be your friend because everyone needs a shoulder to lean on every once in awhile. Plus I host the other half of the one tails." He look shocked at this point.

"I guess…" He says, "But I'm still a monster, why would you be friends with a monster I kill people for the fun of it." He states. "I know, but that's not really you is it? I know people by looking into their eyes. YOU are NOT a BAD person." I retort. If possible he looks more surprised when I hold my hand out, "Friends?" He nods slowly and I smile brightly, "Then it's official!"

Gaara's POV

She holds her hand out to me and I'm pretty sure my face held surprise and shock. "Friends?" She asks me. I nod slowly and take her hand. She then smile brightly at me, "Then it's official!" She states. She's the first person since him to be nice to me. But… she doesn't seem like she will betray me… Great my one friend and I might lose her after… "Hey are you ok?" I look up and realize I was just staring off, "Yeah." I say somewhat bitterly. "Don't worry." I look at her, "Don't worry you won't lose me. That's what a friend is, right?" I let a ghost of a smile appear. I haven't done that in ages. Y/N you are and interesting person.

Y/N's POV

I got it! I'm officially friends with Gaara, it took a bit but I got it. I say bye to him and go to check in on Naruto. He just finished going over Sakura. "Y/N is the other girl in our squad. She's smart and strong. She's like a sister to me. Plus she's pretty." Naruto says and I smile softly, "and our team can complete any mission no matter how dangerous."

"I don't think this is good material for the article." Konohamaru says. "Fine, then you show me how to do it." Naruto retorts. "Fine! My name is Konohamaru the grandson of the Hokage. Grandfather is the most important figure in the Leaf Village and is the 3rd Hokage." Yeah so what Naruto's going to be Hokage. I think then I hear, "You mean my son is? Is he really? Minato asks and I nod. And the 5th Hokage is your granddaughter Lord First. I tell him and he goes into an emo corner in my mind, Will the village be in one piece I laugh, Yes. Well… mostly. I say.

I focus back on the conversation, "The fourth was the greatest Hokage this village has ever known!" Really? I'm known? Minato asks, You stopped the 9 tails fox. And go back to focus on the interview again. "That Naruto! I bet he's just making up stuff as he pleases.." Sakura states. I walk over and sit down.

"Now Sakura Haruno, who is my senior as a Kunoichi, teach us about Ninja art." Moegi says. "Yes, I am the beautiful Kunoichi, Sakura Haruno." Sakura starts going over Naruto and I space out, "Rin? What are you up to?" I ask, "I'm helping at the hospital with my medical Ninjutsu. I haven't found Master Jariyah yet though. She responds, Ok that's fine Naruto will find him sooner or later. With the I cut off the conversation.

When I get back Sakura is talking about Sasuke… Of course. "He not only graduated at the top of the class. He's also the most popular. He can even hold his own against Kakashi-Sensei." She starts fangirling again and I look at her strangely. She finally move on. "Y/N she's pretty strong I guess. She doesn't notice it but I think all the guys have a crush on her. Well except MY Sasuke." She starts going on about our team and I walk away.

"Hey Shino." He looks at me, "Hey." He replies. I walk over to him, "What do you think the second exam will be like?" I ask. He just shrugs, "Well nice talking to ya. Bye" I wave and he waves back. I walk over as Sakura finished talking about Kakashi-Sensei. I think I'm going to take a nap.

Y/N's POV

Oh! It's over. Naruto's stares at the forest, "There's something kind of creepy about this place." Sakura says. Anko smiles, "This place is called the Forest of Death, you'll soon realize why." Naruto snorts, places his hands on his hips and imitates Anko. I laugh as everyone else deadpans. "That kind of threat won't work on me one bit! I'm not scared!" Naruto yells.

"You've got a lot of energy." Anko says. She then pulls out a kunai and throws it at him. It cuts him on the cheek. She's lucky that comes in handy later or she would if or it… I look over and see, Orochimaru… In disguise nonetheless but Ick. She appears behind Naruto, "A kid like you dies at the very beginning, dappled with the red blood I like." She then turns and grabs a kunai. She holds it defensively as a young hands back her other one, "I'm returning your kunai knife." The 'lady says while Naruto looks terrified. "Thank you for taking the trouble.*stare* but don't stand behind me, thirsty for blood. Unless you want to risk a premature death." She grabs the kunai, "Well, it's my nature to act up at the sight of red blood. And my hair was cut, so I got excited." 'She' said smiling creepily.

Naruto starts sticking his tongue out trying to get it to be as long as 'hers' as 'she' walks away. "Evidently, we've got a lot of hot-blooded kids this time. This will be fun." She says smiling. Naruto looks at her holding his cheek and shutting one eye.
"Well, before we start the second exam, I have to pass this out to you!" She hands out… wavers. "Before the test all of you will have to read and sign this." She states.

"What for?"Naruto asks. "Some of you won't come back from this test and I have to get your permission for that risk. Otherwise it will be my responsibility." She smiles at us and laughs, "Well, I'm going to start the explanation for the second exam. In a word the limits of your survival will be challenged. First I'll give you step-by-step instruction on the terrain of this Training Field." Training Field my butt! Maybe try… Lost woods or Skeleton Forest! Maybe even one of the Hunger Games fields. I think and focus back on her saying, "This is a anything goes battle for these scrolls."

"Both?" Sasuke asks, "Yes, I want you to fight for two scrolls, the Heaven Scroll and the Earth Scroll. All together 26 teams got through the first test. At least half will be eliminated." She explains, "Ok, how do we pass?" Sasuke asks. "Your team has to bring both the Heaven and Earth Scrolls to the tower in the center." She replies.

"That means that of the 13 teams half will fail for sure." Sakura says. "Except it has to be in time. For the second exam, the time limit is 120 hours. Do it in exactly five days!"

"Five days?!" Ino yells, "What do we do about food?" Choji asks. "Be self-sufficient! It's a treasure trove in the wilderness. There's more than enough for food." Anko says.

"However… It's teeming with fierce people-eating animals, poisonous bugs, weeds and much more." Kabutt oh sorry, Kabuto says. "No way…" Choji sulks. "Quiet down. That's why it's called survival!" Ino says.

"Besides, it's improbable that 40 people, 13 teams will pass." Neji says, "The interval for activity gets longer with passing each day, while the time for the recovery gets shorter… Seems pretty grueling!" Lee says, smiling. "On top of that, you're surrounded by nothing but enemies, you won't have time to fall asleep." Sasuke susses out.

"And, besides those injured during attempts to capture scrolls… there will definitely be people that are unable to endure the rigors of the course." Anko states. "So can you quit in the middle of it?" Shikamaru asks. "Of course not according to the rules you can't give up in the middle! I want you to spend five days in the forest." Anko replies smiling. "Just like I thought. This is going to be a drag." … Everything's a drag to you… but- no, just no comment. "Moving on, conditions of disqualification."

"1 if all members of the tea-" I cut her off, "If your team can't make it to the tower you're out. Losing members is also disqualification. Lastly you can't pass without both scrolls and do not. Under any circumstance. Open that scroll before you have both at the tower." I sigh, "It's bad if you do, so don't." Anko looks at me, "Yeah… What she said. But anyways, There are times when a Chunin must deal with super-secret text. This is to test your reliability. That's all. I'll exchange your consent forms for the scrolls in that hut over there." She points at the other ninja sitting there. "After that, pick your entrance, and all the gates will open simultaneously!"

Everyone looks and she sighs, "One more word of advice. Don't die!" She exclaims. Everyone gives a determined look and starts to get their scrolls. We got a Heaven Scroll after turning in our forms. We take gate #12, "We won't lose! Believe it. I'll bring down whoever comes near me." Naruto rambles on. At least I know how to release the 5 fingered seal but… I'll wait for a bit. Oro, huh? I wonder what will happen… I think.
