Anko briefs the candidates on their objectives for the second portion of the Chūnin Exams. The test is structured such that at least half the teams will be eliminated. Before entering the Forest of Death, all teams will be given either a heaven or an earth scroll.

Once inside the forest, the genin must take the other scroll from another team. Only those that make it to the tower in the centre of the forest with both scrolls will advance to the next stage of the exams.

"This sounds scary" Aika said

"Just stick with your team and I'm sure you'll do fine" Sasuke said

"Do your best" Naruto said hugging his little sister

"You too, be careful" Aika said hugging her brother back then running off to her team

Anko hands out the scrolls to each team secretly and opens the forest gates. Soon after, Team 8 searches for a scroll and manages to take a Amegakure team's scroll after trapping them.

Aika and her team stop at a tree to look around. It's hard to know who has what scroll.

"Aika do you sense anyone nearby" Gaara asked

Yep, she was put into their group.

"No I don't" Aika said

"Let's keep moving" Gaara said

"Right" they replied and kept moving
