A/N: And it's the time for Forest of Death. Enjoy.

As the sea calls 6
Hansel and Gretel

The morning saw all the 26 teams at the Training Ground 44. It was a round area of giant trees and wildlife surrounded by a tall fence with 44 gates. There was thirteen teams from Konoha, four from Suna, five from Ame, two from Kusa, and one from Oto and Taki.

The place looked even more impressive up close and while excited to get and explore the place, Kairi also knew that the participants from Suna would be in serious disadvantage. Ame, Kusa, Oto and Taki all had trees even if they weren't exactly dense forests like the environment presented before them. And of course Konoha-nin were practically in their favorite element.

"This is the location for the second phase of the exam. It's Training Ground 44, but we call it… the Forest of Death." Anko introduced, smiling the entire time. Sadist.

"Forest of Death. Pff. Do your worst!" Naruto shouted from somewhere on Kairi's left. Damn, he was loud. "You're not going to scare me away! I can handle anything!"

"So… looks like we've got ourselves a tough guy." The special jounin smiled and Kairi didn't exactly see what happened but she remembered it anyways. Anko threw kunai past Naruto, earning the boy a scratch on his cheek, and then going and licking the blood off. Creepy. And then Orochimaru, disguised as Kusa shinobi Shiore, returned the kunai to Anko, with his tongue. Super creepy and really disgusting too.

"Why thank you Grass-nin." Anko told the other 'woman'. "You know, I only recommend you stand this close behind me if you wish to reach a premature end."

"My pardon. With the sight of blood on your blade slicing through my hair, I'm afraid I became a little excited. I meant you know harm." Orochimaru replied. Kairi shuddered at the way he spoke. She really didn't want to run into him in the forest, temporally ally of Suna or not. And officially Kairi didn't even know about Oto being an ally. Only that Suna would strike on the day of the finals.

"Seems like everyone here today is quick tempered. There must be something in the air." Anko mused then, moving away from Naruto. "Now before we begin this test, I have something to hand out to you all. It's just a standard consent form. Before the test, all of you are going to have to read over this form and then sign it."

"What for?" Naruto asked. While it was a bit strange that only he was asking questions, it was good that at least someone was.

"Some of you may not come back from this test. And I have to get your consent for that risk. Otherwise it would be my responsibility." The papers were passed along all of the participants while Anko continued. "Now, I'll explain what you'll be doing in this test. The first thing you need to know is that this test will tax every one of your survival skills. First, I'll give you all a description of the terrain on the practice field."

The map of the area was shown. Kairi whipped out her notebook she'd used to record her speed and drew a rough sketch of the area on it. River flowing from north-west to south-east where it split into two. Tower in the middle and a ten kilometer radius to any direction of the tower.

"The 44th Training Ground had 44 locked gates. There are rivers and a forest inside. In the centre is a locked tower, located 10 kilometers each gate." Anko was explaining to the rest. "You'll be fighting to get both a Heaven Scroll and an Earth Scroll. Altogether 26 teams will be taking part in this test, so half of those teams will be going after the Heaven Scroll and the other half will be trying to get the Earth Scroll. I'll hand over one kid of scroll to each team and that's what you'll be fighting for."

"Okay." Sasuke spoke up. "So how do we pass the test?"

"Your entire squad must bring both a Heaven and Earth Scroll to the central tower within five days."

"Completely surrounded by enemies, we won't have time to rest. We'll have to keep a constant watch." The Uchiha stated with narrowed eyes.

"Right." Anko nodded at the observation. "This test also measures endurance behind enemy lines. This is designated to be a grueling test, and I'm sure some of you won't be up for the challenge."

"So… let's say, mid-exam, can we just quit?" Shikamaru asked.

"Of course not. In the middle of a battle you can't just quit. Well, I guess you could but it's probably going to get you killed." Came the flippant reply. "There are also some ways you can get disqualified. First, if all three members can't make it to the tower with both scrolls. Second, if a team loses a member or a member becomes incapacitated and cannot continue. But most importantly, none of you, absolutely none of you, may look at the contents of the scroll until you reach the tower."

Hara scoffed. "Obviously."

Well, at least it was certain that he wouldn't screw with that part of the test. One thing less to worry about.

"What if it just happens to flap open and you read it?" Naruto asked. Of course he did.

"Children… Everything forbidden must be prodded." Kairi muttered, rubbing her forehead. Her cousin was… an idiot. He could think on his feet and be surprisingly smart occasionally but he was also so incredibly… dense. Yet… Kairi really wanted to get to know him. But not now. Not yet. She had to wait… Maybe even until Naruto returned from his training trip with Jiraiya. If that were to even happen in this world. Probably yes, but Kairi couldn't be too sure anymore.

"Let me put it this way, young man. You. Don't. Want. To. Know." Anko replied the boy, still smiling. "There are times when a ninja will be asked to carry secret documents. The scroll rule it to test your integrity. Okay, we're done. Each team, take your consent forms and exchange them over there for scrolls." The woman pointed at the booth where a couple of chuunin were manning it. "After that, you'll be taken to a gate and the exam can start."

Kairi read her form and signed her name on it. Hara and Souseki followed the suite. A curtain was being pulled around the booth, obscuring the view of the genin. Thus they couldn't know which scroll went to which team and who of the team members was holding it.

"So we're going blind into this…" Souseki murmured, shooting a dirty look at the booth and to the woods itself then. He apparently wanted it all to be over and done with quickly. Prissy bastard. Thankfully not vocal though.

"If you have some good spying tactic in mind, you are welcome to share." Kairi said dryly.

"Sorry, no. But we probably should go the get our scroll before other teams try anything." The boy replied.

"I agree." Hara muttered.

"So… You're from Suna." One of the chuunin went through the consent forms and wrote down their names. "Jyari Hara, Souseki Nagaya and Kairi Fuukatsu."

Kairi held back a twitch of her mouth when she noticed Hara ready to retort at the wrong order of names. Souseki didn't look much happier either but kept his mouth shut.

"Here is your scroll. You'll start at gate 19." Next chuunin gave a black scroll to them. Earth.

"I'll take it." Hara grabbed the scroll and tucked it to his weapons pouch. Kairi considered fighting for it but decided not to. The situation would only escalate and she might end up attacking her own teammate. And she really didn't want to be disqualified for that reason.

The teams went to get their scrolls. Thankfully it didn't take long. Kairi didn't like waiting and she was getting pretty much impatient. Like a strong gust of wind trapped in a jar. She wanted to act, not sit and wait idly.

"Listen up! All the teams have received their scrolls, so everybody go your gate and wait there. When the gates open, the test is on!" Anko told them.

Gate nineteen… With they all at gate one and the circumference of the fence being over 60 kilometers… 62 and bit more actually. That distance divided with 44… distance between the gates was bit less than one and half kilometers… 1.4 actually. That multiplied by 19 in the other hand was 27.

"Twenty-five kilometers until our gate. Let's hurry." Even if the start time would be around half past two.

Two-thirty the gates were opened. Kairi, Hara and Souseki dashed into the woods and up to the trees. While on the way Kairi flipped through what she could find from her archive. Having cheat-codes was sort of handy and she didn't feel sorry at all for using them.

"The Oto team is one gate to right. No team is at the gate directly on the left but afterwards there is Konohan team, Team 8, Kusa team with Orochimaru, empty gate and then Team 7." Kairi thought. The Konoha team between them and Team 8 was probably the one that got targeted by the leeches. So definitely not that way.

The girl dug out her notebook and flipped open the map she'd drawn and started marking the little info she could get from her Archive. She almost could remember what scroll each team had as it had also been listed at wikia back them but for the life she couldn't recall them at the moment. Well, maybe didn't need to.

"Alright. Let's stop here." Hara announced and landed on a branch. Souseki and Kairi landed either side of him. "We're going to split up and scrounge food and search other teams. This way we'll cover more ground much quicker." The boy dropped three kunai to form a triangle shape on the branch. "We'll meet back here in two hours."

"Are you sure you want us to split at this point already? We should secure our rations yes but there are all of the teams still in the game and at their strongest at this point. It's not safe for us to be on our own yet." Souseki frowned.

"I'm the team leader. I make the decisions in this team like I've done before." Hara growled.

"Nagaya is correct though." Kairi said. "We should look for a place to camp and remain stationary for the remainder of the day. We only have bit less than five hours of daylight left and in the middle of woods even less."

"AAHH!"

A scream echoed throughout the forest. It was the Konoha team confronted by Team 8.

"First team down." Kairi said. "I sounded close. We better continue moving. I suggest north."

"The screams came from south-west so I agree." Souseki nodded.

"Fine…" Hara groused. "We'll find a camping place and then split to search for supplies."

"That sounds viable." Souseki agreed. Kairi sighed but steeled herself.

She could do this.

The place to camp and rest at came in a form of a giant hollow tree which had dried up and remained standing. Not rotten at all despite the humidity of the air.

Hara placed the three kunai mark on the ground in the shadow of the tree and then 'ordered' them all to scatter.

"Don't fight, don't fight… Don't fight or you end up killing him…" Kairi hummed the mantra and headed north-west.

Her exploring came to abrupt stop when she head a familiar noise and muffled screams. It was something she could never forget hearing. The sound of sand crushing things around it. Had she really wandered this close to Gaara's team and the soon-dead Ame-team?

Kairi landed on a branch overlooking the small clearing. Team 8 was hiding in the bushes. Sand was wrapped around two Ame-nin, the first one being already crushed to death.

"Bye bye…" Temari waved at them.

Then two other sickening cracks could be heard. Kairi pulled a face. While quick and relatively painless, that was also incredibly messy way to die.

"How lucky, it's the Heaven Scroll." Kankuro picked up the scroll one of the Ame-nin tried to offer them in exchange of their lives. "Ok, let's head for the tower."

"Shut up. I haven't had enough yet." Gaara glared. Had he heard when Team 8 tried to leave or was he a sensor too?

"Let's stop, Gaara."

"Are you afraid? Coward."

"Gaara! You may be alright, but this is too dangerous for us!" The puppeteer spoke up, walking closer to his younger sibling. "We only need one scroll! Any more it…"

"Don't tell me what to do. You piece of trash." The red-head prepared to twist his wrist and end the lives of the Konohan team too. All the while being engaged in staring contest with the older boy.

"Gaara. Leave it. You've done everything needed of this day already." Kairi spoke up from her perch. The Suna siblings and also the Team 8 looked up at her.

"Kairi…" The jinchuuriki narrowed his eyes at the girl he wasn't allowed to kill. "What do you want?"

"I heard some noise and came to investigate. I need to return to my team soon though. In the meanwhile…" The girl deliberately looked down at Team 8. "Those rookies are no harm to you. And you've not laid your eyes on them yet, have you? Thus you have no reason to kill them."

Logic. While Shukaku had temper and could twist Gaara's opinions and emotions, it was logic that got through to the boy. It was logic that made him follow orders even if he had no loyalty to the village itself.

"Fine…" The boy formed a cork for his gourd and plugged it in. He turned around and began walking towards the tower in the north. Kairi let out a sigh of relief, tension leaving her once again.

"Kairi-san… Thank you." Temari told the girl before following after her little brother. Kankuro nodded at the blonde too.

"You're welcome." Kairi muttered and with one last glance at team 8 of Konoha, she left the clearing and the corpses there behind her.

Kairi was just returning to the camp site when she felt it. A strong gust of wind and the following killing intent, saturating the entire forest with it. The girl landed shakily and fell on her knees. While confronting many strong enemies, none of them had given out a killing intent such as this. It wasn't passive like Gaara's which was directed at everyone. Not this was focused and active but without care of who would be trampled in the process.

Souseki landed next to Kairi.

"You felt it too?"

"Hard not to. That's practically a beacon for everyone to stay the fuck away from there." The girl nodded and got back on her feet. "I… I found some edible berries and mushrooms. There's a rabbit's hole about five-hundred meters east but it might be empty."

"I checked out the river. The water there is drinkable." Souseki told her. "There was also some bird nests nearby but I decided not to disturb them just yet."

"I think we should use what we can find during the first days and save our ration bars until we are too exhausted to scavenge. They don't go bad after all and we don't know how long we'll be here in the end."

"Sounds reasonable." The boy nodded. "We should wait for Jyari-kun to arrive so we can continue making plans."

"Yeah…"

Eventually Hara arrived too, looking harried and shaken. He had also felt the killing intent. On his arms he had a stack of firewood.

"Let's rest." The self-appointed leader said. "It's soon dark anyways. We'll set up a watch and cook dinner."

"Did you guys see anything interesting while in the woods?" Souseki asked when they sat down to prepare the mushrooms and berries into a makeshift soup-slash-stew. Hara captured them a rabbit which he skinned and gutted for the stew. While Kairi did not have a stellar opinion of the boy, she did admit that he knew basics quite well.

"Nothing interesting." Hara shrugged. "You?"

"A couple of teams were already heading for the tower but I guess it was only to set up an ambush. I also saw a Konoha team captured in a net and the ground covered in big leaches. They were barely alive."

"I saw Gaara slaughter an Ame team and then almost kill one of the Konoha rookie teams who were watching from the bushes." Kairi replied. "Team 1 is probably already at the tower since they got their needed scroll from the Ame team."

"Kazekage's children are all powerhouses and monsters and the youngest one is the worst of them all." Hara scoffed. "I'm glad I don't need to be anywhere near him."

"Yes… Temari-san is cruel and brutal when it comes to her enemies, Kankuro-kun has a hair-trigger temper and Gaara is plain blood-thirsty." Kairi agreed slowly. While she didn't like speaking ill of any of them, it didn't mean that she was wrong either. Each of the Seand Siblings were difficult to work with and she thanked her lucky stars that she'd had no need for that prior these exams.

The stew was moderately good considering the circumstances. As they prepared for rest Kairi used her fan to scatter the smell of food so it wouldn't attract predators, human and animal alike. The fire still burned, providing light for them. While it could attract enemies, that's what watch was for. And the traps laid on the surrounding area.

Hara took the first watch and woke up Souseki for the next one. Meaning that Kairi had the last and worst one. Well, she could handle it.

During the night she had a lot of time to think about the exam and the teams. What she'd seen, heard and felt thus far, supported canon but at any moment the things would diverge. But how… that was the question.

In any case Kairi needed to act quickly and get the scroll. Or two because it was likely that Hara would force them to split the first thing in the morning and there was no guarantee that when they'd meet again, Hara would still be in the possession of their scroll.

Kairi's prediction proved correct when, after eating the remaining berries for breakfast, Hara told them to dismantle the traps and get moving. Apparently they wouldn't stay another night in the same spot. Sensible.

But apparently this time splitting meant that Kairi was alone while the boys stuck together. Well, fine. She could do this on her own too. Probably.

The girl headed towards the river. There she'd probably meet a lot of teams who'd still have their scrolls. And there she'd ambush them. Especially Konoha-nin were bound to underestimate her a Suna-nin born at desert in such environment.

Kairi landed with a minimal splash on top of the water. While different from sand or even tree walking, the fundamentality between the three was the same. The use of chakra at one's feet in order to progress on an unconventional terrain.

She laid a hand on top of the water to support herself and detect vibrations while she concentrated on the air around her. She was out in the open. She was basically begging people to attack her straight forwardly. Not that they'd hit her. Genjutsu existed after all and with it Kairi produced an image of herself two meters before her while hiding herself. The genjutsu was about her less threatening appearance that she used to fool Genma and Gai. Something to make people underestimate her.

And soon enough a barrage of kunai flew through the air. Kairi made her genjutsu to turn and try to dodge but ultimately failing.

"Gah!" The image let out, momentarily sinking into the water but pulling herself up then and glaring up at the attackers. A Konohan team. The image had bleeding wounds but she pulled the imaginary kunai from her arms and side out letting them sink into the water just like the original kunai had after phasing through the illusion.

"Little Suna girl. You look lost." One of the attackers sneered. The other two chuckled at it.

"I'm not."

Kairi moved behind her genjutsu and created a wind clone inside it. Then she jumped up to the nearest cliff that allowed her have the high ground. Moral and otherwise.

The first one of the Konoha-nin jumped down to attack the presumably weakened and injured girl. When hitting the clone, he got slashed by wind blades.

"What…" The boy let out before sinking into water, his blood already starting to dye it red. He wasn't moving. The cuts had been so sudden and so deep that there was no hope for him.

"She took down Mebachi!" Another genin shouted.

"We need to get out of here…" His friend whimpered. Kairi dislodged her fan and flipped it open. One hundred and twenty degrees open, o-point-seven meter radius and a handle clicking into place that was also o-point-seven meters long. Black metal with faint golden sheen on the fabric of the fan and the wrappings on the handle. Kairi could use it both one and two handedly, depending on the situation and the technique. Her fan's name was Kogonhi – Golden Ratio – which was funny because golden ratio was also known as golden cut. Something that she was very proficient in doing with the fan.

The click alerted the two genin who looked up at the cliff where Kairi was standing, her fan at ready.

"Hello. I apologize the inconvenience but I'm going to take your scroll." She smiled. Yes, she had just killed their teammate. But in these exams, just like in real life, it was kill or be killed. But she didn't take pleasure in it. No, she was cold, swift and clean when killing her opponents. Like nightly desert wind.

"You… You killed Mebachi!" Genin number two screamed. "You will pay!" Kunai was drawn and thrown. Kairi waved her fan and steered them aside. The genin clapped his hands together then and began going through hand seals for a fire jutsu.

"Stop! Don't you see she is wind type! Even if fire is superior we might too -…" His friend yelled at him but too late. Fire was lit. Kairi twisted and jumped down the cliff, her fan weaving through the air and fanning the flames on. If not for the river and thus moist ground and plants, the fire probably would've spread much further. The girl landed lightly on top of the water once again, right next to Mebachi. She went through his pockets and pouches, finding Heaven scroll from him. How lucky.

"Now… I don't necessarily need to kill you here, especially considering that you are disqualified anyways. But what you decide to do next, has everything to do as to what I'll do to you." The girl spoke, slipping the scroll into her backpack.

"You bitch…" The genin number two growled.

"Yeah, no." Kairi deadpanned.

"You will pay."

"You already said that."

"I'll make you pay!" And he dashed towards the girl. Kairi lifted her fan and spun around in spot once. She channeled her chakra through the metal, into the kanji for 'wind' painted on the fabric.

"Fuuton: Kinkaze no kiri no jutsu!"
(Wind Release: Gold wind cutter technique)

It took down both genin. Gold may be a soft metal but it was pure too. Chemically as well as spiritually. And thus it the attack, imbued with wind chakra that was naturally half spiritual, worked so well.

"That's one team down." Kairi mused, looking at the three bodies floating in the river. The water wasn't probably drinkable anymore. "I need to go and meet with the boys now." She unfolded her fan and clasped it behind her back before jumping back to the trees.

Momentarily she thought she felt something nasty in the woods but it was gone soon enough.

"I wonder what that was…"

On her way to find her team (why hadn't they agreed on a meeting spot?), Kairi came across a gruesome sight. A Kusa team slaughtered by a boar. The smell of blood but lack of smell of rotting flesh indicated that they hadn't been dead for long.

"Karin…" The girl gasped, dropping down at the sight of red hair. Yet another difference. Sasuke hadn't saved the girl and thus the sensor-medic Uzumaki was now out of counting. "Well, at least Orochimaru didn't get her…"

Kairi felt bad to go through the girl's and her friends' possessions but she did find another Earth scroll from there. It would become handy later.

"You will definitely need that one." A voice spoke up from above. Kairi looked up. Kabuto was standing in the branches.

"Oh yeah?" The girl asked.

"Yes. Since my team just acquired your team's earth scroll." The spy smiled pushing his glasses up. "Don't worry, they're still alive. But you should probably hurry to help them."

"You wouldn't mind telling me whereabouts they are?" Kairi hedged. This situation… wasn't surprising per say but she hadn't expected it to be Kabuto's team that took the scroll. Admittedly they were really good.

"Three hundred meters to north-east."

"Thank you, Kabuto-san." The girl nodded and the two of them departed ways.

Hara was unconscious while Souseki had broken arm and a black eye. Both of them suffered from chakra exhaustion.

"So… You lost the scroll." Kairi deadpanned.

"Yes… The Konoha team was going easy on us though."

"I see. Well, thankfully I got heaven scroll from one team and scavenged earth scroll from another one's corpses."

"Oh?" The boy blinked. "That's… good. Thanks."

"Can you wake up Hara? I can give you both soldier pills once we have eaten." The girl dug out three ration bars and bottle of water.

Souseki crouched to shake Hara awake. Disoriented the other boy was and thankfully ate and drank slowly and in silence.

"Do you think you can run?" Kairi asked. "I have the scrolls. We can get to the tower now."

"Yeah…" Hara muttered and got on his feet.

"Soldier pills for each of us. The tower is to north-north-west." Kairi gave the one of the small round tablets for both boys and ate one then herself. Using wide-range genjutsu for multiple senses, an elemental clone and then her tessenjutsu had dented her reserves a bit too much for her to run safely the entire time to the tower. Especially if they'd need to fight other teams trying to ambush them.

Hara ate the pill and got on his feet, basically rejuvenated and already taking charge.

"Let's go."

Kairi just sighed. Souseki checked his own bandaged and braced arm but nodded. It was time to go.

Giving a soldier pill for a concussed was not a good idea. But in order to get out of the woods as fast as possible, they had no other choice. With Kairi leading and Souseki holding the rear while keeping an eye on Hara, the trio made their way towards the tower in the center of the area.

Thankfully they didn't meet with other teams until very close to the tower. Kairi heard them before seeing them and thus attacked first. She twisted her fan open and waved it at the direction of the sound.

"Fuuton: Ookaeami!"
(Wind Release: Great Cast Net)

The brilliant thing about nin-tessenjutsu was that it didn't require hand seals as long as you knew the different forms and katas for using the fan. And judging by the cries and crashes, the ambushing team had been forced to retreat.

"That should keep them distracted…" Kairi said. "You guys hanging in there?"

"Yes. How long until we are at the tower?" Souseki asked.

"Just a couple of hundred meters. There shouldn't be any other teams expecting us before that. Not so close to this one." The girl replied.

And she was right. The trio arrived to the tower without much difficulties (other than Hara losing his footing when landing) and went in through one of the doors.

A/N: Alright... I made some references to what Silver-Queen mentioned in the chuunin exam arc. Like the team floating in river that Shikako&co saw when heading for the tower. And of course Karin's team...

I hope Kairi doesn't come off as too OP but I need to remind you that she is practically chuunin level already and older than Konoha twelve. Hara and Souseki in the other hand are about the same age than Team Gai.

I love Kairi's fan. It's beautiful. Speaking of which, I drew her recently. Found in deviantArt, Here is as much of the link as I can put here: /art/Naruto-SI-OC-Fuukatsu-Kairi-664895499

-fatjack36:
Yes, as soon as I read Kiba's line I just had to reference the song.

-10th Squad 3rd Seat:
Thank you!
I'm not sure if Shikako would also react similarly. Maybe. Usually when SI-OC is directed to Yamanaka jutsu they somehow gain another personality(an older one) to deal with memories. I decided not to go that route and keep Kairi whole. But I still wanted something to happen.

-gonewind321:
Chapter 1: Thank you. I just adore Minato and it's pity we don't see him that much in the end. But thankfully that gives leeway to us fans: :)
Chapter 2: Kairi is good but has had seriously bad luck. Maybe she'll be luckier soon...
Chapter 3: Do you mean just honorifics and the fact I use Yondaime and Sandaime or do you include my one time use of 'omoshiroi' (='interesting') to this too? I try to curb my habit. It comes in phases to me though. Sometime I feel the urge to add and add Japanese words to the dialogue and sometime I etiher feel lazy and not interested or then I gringe at the though of being seen as 'weeaboo'. Kairi recognizes Shikako as an anomaly and seeing as she herself is a reborn soul, she doesn't see it as too far fetched to think Shikako as one too. It'd explain the Nara's reactions to Gaara and well... everyone is unreliable narrator and Kairi needs to discern what is ripples and what is unshakeable canon. And not to rely too much on her Archive.
Chapter 4: I agree. But people want to stick to familiar environment. That's why there are so many Konoha fics, especially about people born in Naruto's generation or even as replacing one of the Rookie 9. While Kairi -by her own words- values her own survival more than her village, she is still a Suna-nin and thus will act on her orders. Ah, yes, that's true too. Personally I like Catch Your Breath more than Dreaming of Sunshine and right now I don't even remember anymore which one I read first. Something about Kei appeals to me more than Shikako does. Oh well..
Chapter 5: Thank you. My chapters might seem a bit short and cut a lot of things but it's because I assume that people have read DoS and the original Naruto chapters. Kairi got her chance to shine in this chapter and will shine in the preliminaries too. :) And of course there will be more spying eventually.

-Tsuki:
Nice to see you here too!
Thank you. I'll try my best. Now I should get writing the next chapter. After school stuff though. :)

-calcu22:
Thank you. That's great to hear.
