Chapter 25
Second Test Begins
"This is your second test I am Abrume Shino." The man with sunglasses said "be prepared for pain, suffering, even death" as Shino said this he looked at Shiro dead in the eye. "but this second test will consist inside of the forest behind me. The forest of death"
"Why do all the forests have to be called 'dark' or 'death'?" Rio whispered to Jin who smirked.
"Do not underestimate the things you will encounter" Shino said "killing is permitted in this test. So beware. This test is fairly simple to start. You will have five days to reach the center of the forest where a tower is. Not only that you must bring with you two items. The Heaven Scroll, and the Earth Scroll. One of those two will be given to your team at random. You must retrieve whichever scroll you need from another team by ANY means possible. Now you will go through that tent one team at a time so you cant see what your opponents have and which of your opponents have it."
one hour later
Team 7 was standing at one of the many entrances. Shiro stood with his arms crossed while Anna and Kai were looking at him. "Well what do you think?" Kai asked
"I think that Anna should hold the scroll" Shiro said holding out the earth scroll. Kai nodded in agreement
"Why do I need to hold it?" Anna asked
"cause you're the least likely to have it" Shiro said "You seem to be the weakest of three of us"
"Weakest? Fuck you shithead" Anna responded
"With an attitude like that I doubt that we'll lose our scroll anytime soon" Kai mused
Meanwhile
Shino stood outside with Tsuki and Kiro. Shino spoke first "I think that you both should go in there, I feel that something is gonna happen in there" Both Chuunins nodded and headed inside the forest. Shortly after the two left a ninja with silver hair and a mask on appeared behind Shiro. This ninja also had a Katana on their back. "bout time you got here" Shino said
The ninja nodded before Shino spoke again "okay show the leaf that the white fang has been reborn" Shino said "alright go on"
White fang hurried into the forest quickly. Shino on the other hand smirked 'this is going to be the end of the Tykiei's for sure' Shino thought
Meanwhile
Jin and his teammates stood at their entrance. "So do we have a plan Rio?" Jin asked
"Why do I always have to come up with the plans?" Rio asked
"Well then who else is gonna come up with a plan?" Jin questioned "Maya? Me? What are you crazy?"
"Well forgive me for wanting you guys to come up with your own ideas" Rio replied
"Fine here's my plan, we get in there we split up and take out as many teams as possible?" Jin said
"Sounds fine" Maya said from the other side of Rio
"Fine we'll do that" Rio said "see you come up with a plan"
"Oh go fuck yourself" Jin replied
"I'll pass" Rio responded
Meanwhile
Rock Gai was currently doing jumping jacks while talking to his teammates "What are we gonna do when we get in there?" Gai asked
Anna grunted while Tohpka shrugged "what are you looking at me for?" Tohapka asked
Gai shrugged back "I dunno"
"its plainly obvious that we should lay low and wait till we find a weak team. Take their scroll then quickly proceed to the checkpoint"Koari said
"YES WE SHALL RULE WITH OUR EXPLOSIVE YOUTH!"Gai said raising his fist to the air.
"Right" Tohapka said rolling his eyes
The Gates all opened and each team proceeded inside the forest. Gai and his teammates proceeded inside traveling from tree to tree. Gai looked through the forest and he noticed that it was packed with the large trees. He also noticed the lack of sunlight in the forest. You could see very little if any sunlight and it obviously came from the trees. It would be an obvious advantage to those who used water jutsus.
Meanwhile
The team from the sand walked on the ground. "so Doragon, do you think we should hurry or take our time?" Tora asked his red haired cousin.
"I think we should get there with time to spare, no point in waiting till the last minute." Ninpuu spoke in place of her brother. "besides I'm anxious to see what our competition is like"
"We'll find out soon enough wont we?" Doragon said as they continued to walk. Suddenly a group of mist-nins appeared around the group. "about time you idiots showed up" Doragon said not flinching or acting surprised that the mist-nins had shown up. "next time you guys wanna ambush make sure your not too loud" he continued smirking with his hands behind his head.
"So who wants to take these punks out?" Ninpuu asked "I don't really care"
The mist-nins looked around nervous before one of them spoke "one of you cant beat three of us!"
Tora stepped forward "how much you wanna bet?" Tora said smirking before turning to his cousins "let me handle these three"
Ninpuu nodded and Doragon shrugged "alright but I take on the next bunch" Tora nodded.
Tora cracked his knuckles in his hands what are you three waiting for come on! I'll take you all on at once!" there were two mist-nins in front of him and one behind him. 'ready pal' Tora thought and a deep response replied 'lets rip some people to pieces!'. a dark red chakra burst around Tora and it spiraled around his body in a powerful aura. Tora's nails lengthened to claws and his teeth sharpened to fangs. His blue eyes changed shape to red ones with slit pupils. One of the mist-nins panicked and moved too soon. He leaped at Tora with a kunai drawn. Tora sidestepped him and extended his leg tripping him. The Mist-nin skid across the dirt. Tora smirked and began to a sort of dance with one leg dropping back at a time. He had begun his Ginga. It was the basis of Capoeira, a style of dancing and martial arts mixed together formed in southern Brazil.
Another Mist-nin charged forward and Tora simply spun around touching the ground with his right hand as his left leg extended and smacked into the temple of the mist-nin sending him to the ground out of the fight. The next one charged forward and Tora placed his right hand on the ground while smashing his left leg on top of the head of the mist-nin slamming him to the ground unconscious. The first mist nin that had been tripped turned and began to run only to meet a wall of sand. He looked over at Doragon and Ninpuu. Doragon smirked showing his jagged teeth while Tora tapped the nin on the shoulder. He slowly turned around to meet the fist Tora's right hand breaking his jaw and cheekbone. Then the aura around him stopped swirling and died down.
"Don't you think that was a bit much you two?" Ninpuu asked
"of course not" Doragon responded "They're still alive after all, that's all that really matters."
"Yeah they should be happy I didn't rip their throats out!" Tora exclaimed grinning showing his pointy fangs
"you could have easily Tora" Ninpuu replied "to you, it would be like snapping a twig"
"Fun huh" Tora said smirking
"Ok Tora you can let go of the Demon now" Doragon said to his cousin
"But me and Kitsune we're having so much fun" Tora exclaimed as his fangs disappeared and his claws retracted to nails. The last of the red chakra aura disappated and Tora blinked a few times until his blue eyes returned to normal. Doragon reached into the pocket of one of the mist-nins and held up a white scroll to go with their black earth scroll.
"that was simple enough" Doragon said as the three walked through the forest.
meanwhile
The members of Jin's team stood on the edge of a large branch. "Okay" Jin said "we're gonna split up we'll meet back here in two hours" both Rio and Mya nodded. "are you guys just gonna nod off whenever I make a suggestion?"
"Seems like a good idea right about now" Mya commented before leaping away. Rio was about leap too when Jin stopped him.
"So….are you gonna follow her?" Jin asked smirking Rio looked away from Jin's eyes. "I'll take that as a yes, that solves one less problem. Make sure she stays outta trouble"
"Wait WHAT ARE YOU IMPLYING!" Rio shouted but Jin ignored his teammate and jumped away. "YOU BASTARD!"
Unknown to both of them they were watched from afar by the White fang of Konoha. 'the target must be eliminated'.
meanwhile
Shiro and his two teammates were currently formulating a plan. Well attempting to a plan more like brainstorming.. Well it started off as brainstorming and broke down into arguments when Kai made the comment 'who would follow Anna because of her looks' which resulted in a screaming contest. Not the best plan for our heroes. It quickly alerted any enemy within a five mile radius. That was their downfall.
