A/N: Fic of the month, not much to say, but as always the poll has been up since the start of the month so please vote and enjoy!
Country: Jurai Country
Village: Village Hidden in the Trees
Genin: Masaki Tenchi, Jurai Ayeka, Hakubi Ryoko
Jonin Sensei: Jurai Yosho
Country: Jurai Country is a place tied to special trees dubbed Royal Trees, members of the Jurai Royal Family are bonded with these trees and gained abilities from them. It's often considered a Pseudo-Bloodline Line Limit. Those that aren't part of the Jurai Clan live peaceful lives and enjoy the peace. It should also be pointed out that polygyny is legal in this country.
The Village: Many ninja of the village are members of the Jurai Clan. Due to that any of them are powerful in certain jutsus. However while they are powerful often they are nowhere near the strength of the five great nations.
Genin:
Masaki Tenchi: A member of the Jurai Clan and considered a powerful ninja in his own right (and might be much powerful than though), he so a very nice guy and very attractive, his teammates often fight over him.
Jurai Ayeka: The daughter of the current head of the Jurai Clan and considered the princess of the country as well. She often spoiled and act well like a spoiled Princess. But she is deeply in love with Tenchi.
Hakubi Ryoko: An artificially created human with many skills. Including flight and the ability to walk through walls among other things, she is extremely powerful, however her hot headiness and rash behaves has so far prevented her from being a Chunin. But she is deeply in love with Tenchi, often showing her softer side… when not trying to annoy Ayeka.
Jonin Sensei:
Jurai Yosho: The most skilled Jonin in the village, as well as Ayeka's older half brother. Orin ally wasn't their Jonin Sensei but due to Ayeka and Ryoko's bickering decided to take the job after it had driven other Senseis away. Hopes that at least one of them passes the exam so things can calm down. It should be noted that while he is Ayeka's half brother, both of their mothers are still married to their father.
Chapter 7: Get to the Tower
Back on the first day of the exam the fight for the scrolls was getting rough.
In the forest, a team was searching for a scroll to take that was when they heard crying. That was when they found a little girl crying.
"What's a kid doing here?" asked one of them.
"I have no idea." Said another member.
However they heard a girl's voice call out something strange and suddenly the little girl grew much bigger, had spikier hair, developed claws, and attack the team.
That little girl was Kolulu.
She attack them fiercely.
"Zaker!" called out Kiyo.
Zach's lighting came down and shocked them all.
After they were done they fished through the bags of the other ninja.
"Found it." Said Kiyo.
"Is the right scroll?" asked Megumi.
"It is." Said Kiyo.
"All right! Let's head towards the tower." Said Tia.
Zatch got a bad feeling.
"What's wrong?" asked Kiyo.
"Just that something is wrong." Said Zatch.
They all shrugged and headed to the tower.
Meanwhile a group of ninjas were hiding out in the trees.
"This the perfect place we where could plan out strategy." Said one of the ninjas
"So you think anyone could attack us from up here?" asked a seconded.
"Please, unless they could fly I doubt it." Said the first.
"So incase they could fly?" asked a voice.
They turned to see Ryoko sitting in midair, she smirked and produced strange beams, which she began to use a sword.
"You know your strategy fails due to simple tree training exercise." Said another voice.
They turned to see Ayeka standing upside down.
"Stay out of this princess…" said Ryoko.
"Oh I'd love to, but whether we like it or not we're a team." Said Ayeka.
Strange logs appeared around one of the guys then zapped him.
Ryoko used her energy blade on the other of the ninjas.
"Whoever takes out the third guy wins." Said Ryoko.
"Sounds fine to me." Said Ayeka.
"Can I just give you my scroll and be done with it?" asked the last ninja.
Neither girl said anything as they both attacked him.
Down below. Tenchi sighed.
Once the scream from the trees stopped.
"Tenchi! Called out Ryoko.
She tossed him the scroll, which was an earth scroll.
He caught it.
"That's great…" said Tenchi, "But…"
He held up their scroll, but it was also earth.
"Great…" muttered Ryoko and Ayeka.
"We have to stay in this forest for even longer." Muttered Ayeka.
That was when Ryoko sensed something.
"Ryoko what's wrong?" asked Tenchi.
"Something bad is going on nearby." Said Ryoko.
She flew towards the location where it was going on, Tenchi and Ayeka looked at each other and followed her.
They got to the tree she was hiding in.
"What are you trying to do?" asked Ayeka.
Ryoko shushed her.
She was watching a fight between Gaara's team and a team form rain, well a fight was a less description than anything…
It was more of a curb stomping…
Then Gaara killed one of the rain ninja like it was nothing, using his stand to crush him into goo basically.
The three tree ninja were shocked.
"We really should get out of here." Said Tenchi.
"You're right." Said Ryoko.
They all left trying their best to ignore Gaara's kill.
As the day went and it became night, many of the ninjas hunkered down for the night.
The next morning a group of ninjas went through the bags. And was shocked.
"The scroll is missing!" yelled one of them.
"What! But we watched the bag all night!" yelled one of them.
"How is that even possible!" yelled the third.
Nearby Nami was holding the scroll.
"I told you so." Said Nami sticking out her tongue.
"Fine, let's go to the tower." Said Zoro.
Both Luffy and Zoro went in different directions.
"Wait!" yelled Nami ,"One more thing!"
She began to pound the two, leaving them both conscious but not enoguh to fight her as she dragged them away.
Both of them had terrible sense of directions.
"I swear you two have the worst sense of directions in the forest." Said Nami.
With the Springs Team, Ryoga sneezed.
"You okay?" asked Ranma.
"I'm fine." Said Ryoga.
"Someone must be talking about you." Sighed Akane with a shrug.
"I guess." Muttered Ryoga.
That was when they saw a group of ninja nearby.
"You ready?" asked Ranma.
"Oh yeah…" said Ryoga.
"Let's go." Said Akane.
All three of them began to beat up the other ninja and managed to take their scroll.
"All right! Time to head to the tower!" said Ranma.
"Well after we… you…" said Akane.
"right." Said Ranma.
Both of them looked at Ryoga.
"Oh come on!" yelled Ryoga.
They splashed him with cold water turning him into a pig.
"We'll turn you back when we get to the tower, okay…" said Ranma.
"Sorry but you sense of direction won't help us." Said Akane.
And so they trekked.
Meanwhile with the Ocean Nami counted to drag them.
"Hey!" called out a voice.
Nami turned around saw Usagi and her team. It was after they helped Team 7.
"You heading to the tower too?" asked Usagi.
"Yeah." Sighed Nami.
"Are they both alive?" axed Makoto.
"We're fine…" said Luffy.
"These two idiots don't know where the tower is." Said Nami, "so I have to drag them there…"
"Oh come on that can't be true…" said Ami.
Nami let the two stand up.
"Which way is the tower?" asked Nami.
Both of them pointing in different direction, which was nowhere near the tower.
The Moonlight Team all sweat dropped.
And so Nami dragged Luffy while Makoto dragged Zoro.
"Why are you even helping us?" asked Nami.
"Because we're friends." Said Usagi.
"You haven't earned my truth yet though unlike Naruto..." muttered Makoto.
"You ran into him?" asked Luffy.
"Yeah we did." Said Usagi, "Orochimaru is after one of his teammates."
"What you're kidding?" asked Luffy, "Wait… who's Orochimaru?"
Nami sighed, "You're kidding right?"
"nope!" said Luffy.
"You're the grandson of the king of the pirates and you don't know who Orochimaru is…" said Nami, "What had your grandpa been teaching you?"
"You know what's been teaching him…" pointed out Zoro.
Nami sighed.
They soon got to the tower.
"All right! I guess we part way for now." Said Usagi.
"Yeah!" said Luffy getting up.
The two shook hands.
"Good luck." Said Usagi.
"Good luck to you too." Said Luffy with a big grin.
Both of them went to gates they were supposed enter the tower.
Night came around again…
The next morning the tree Team was angry.
"We stole three scrolls, and all of them the same one." Said Ryoko.
"Well at least we're cutting out the competition." Said Tenchi trying to look on the bright side.
"Oh I have an idea…" said Ryoko.
"I doubt anyone brought booze into this forest." Said Ayeka, "So don't think about it."
Ryoko glare at her teammate.
"Now, now… I'm sure we can figure something out." Said Tenchi.
That was when they found themselves surrounded by a trio of ninja.
"Two girls? Must be a weak team." Said one of the ninjas.
"What did you say?" asked Ryoko and Ayeka at the same time.
Both of them attacked the other team fiercely.
"All right! Finally!" said Ryoko holding the scroll it was the one they needed.
So they headed for the tower.
Meanwhile with Naruto's team… well they almost didn't listen and opened the scroll but thanks to Kabuto they didn't.
Kabuto as it turned out got seprated from his team which was headed to the tower, and Team 7 agreed to accompany him to the tower.
It took all night thanks to a rain team thy ran into before but they managed to get the scroll they ndded.
And made to the tower at the last minute.
And so many teams passed so far, but none of the knew the next part of the exam… or how tough it was going to be…
Only time will tell.
Next Time: Many teams had to made it passed the second part of the test, however due to the fact there needs to be preliminaries in order to make it smaller. What will happen? Find out next time!
