2. Escape from the Forest-

The 12 Genin rushed home to their parents to quickly gather equipment for their first mission as real ninjas. Kakashi sped home and when he reached his house, he ran upstairs to his room. He got to his weapon drawer and pulled got as many shuriken and kunai as he could fit in his weapon pack and he ran back downstairs. He went to his refrigerator and grabbed some chicken and rice and heated that up in the microwave. He quickly ate as his mom and dad came home. He finished his food as soon as they were able to see him in the kitchen. "Sayonara, Kaa-san, Tou-san", he said it to his parents as he rushed out of the door. He reached the Ninja Academy, he had ten minutes left. "I shouldn't have rushed so much", he thought to himself. After waiting by himself for five minutes people started to arrive.

"Okay, now that you're all here, we will start the mission", said Iruka. "Let's all go to the forest now". He escorted them to the entrance of the forest and told them, "You may start, but stick together. If you don't you might not make it out alive".

The teams rushed through the entrance.

"It's been so long. Shouldn't we have finished by now?" complained Hayoto.

"We only ran for about three miles", replied Shizu.

After a little bit more running, the twelve of them heard a loud noise. They all stopped and listened when a large gust of wind separated the 12 of them in half. Teams 1 and 3 were blown in the same direction and teams 2 and 4 were blown in the opposite direction.

Meanwhile, team two and four were walking, hoping to find the exit of the forest, or at least find the other teams.

"KAKASHI!" yelled Musashi. "SHIZU! TETSUMA! CHOUKO! HAYOTO! DAICHI!" yelled Musashi, but then he felt a great pain in his left shin. "OW"!

"Shut up", said Reiko as she lowered her leg away from Musashi. "You're going to attract rabbits".

"Rabbits have come", said Maasaki softly in a monotone voice.

"Crap", shouted Genta as he backed away from the rabbits.

"What are we going to do?" asked Marumi. There are too many of them to fight.

"Just because there's a lot doesn't mean we can't fight", replied Jin. "Let's go".

The six of them then rushed towards the rabbits. Musashi was attacked by a rabbit that latched onto his right arm and he hit it with his left hand for about a minute until he realized that he could use a fire technique to burn the rabbit away before it gnawed of his whole arm. Musashi snapped his fingers and said, "Fire Release: Small Flame", lighting up his 5 fingers on his right hand. He directed the fire towards the attacking rabbit, roasting it. "Take that you stupid rabbit!" yelled Musashi at the burning corpse.

Maasaki used his White Laser technique. He shot the laser at the 5 rabbits in an arc, cutting each rabbit in half.

Reiko dodged jumping rabbit attacks for about a minute until she could find a time to attack. "Wind Release: Air Blade", said Reiko. This unleashed a giant, green boomerang-shaped blade of wind at the rabbits. This chopped the rabbits in half like Maasaki did.

Genta was fighting the rabbits in hand-to-hand combat with the rabbits by punching each of them in the face, most likely breaking their nose. "Falling Fist!" yelled Genta as he jumped into the sky and crashed down with his fist forward; creating a shockwave that destroyed the surrounding rabbits.

Marumi, even though a specialist in genjutsu, still knew a powerful offensive technique. "Shuriken Rain!" she yelled. This summoned many shuriken from the sky falling onto the rabbits, stabbing them, and killing most of them.

"Triple Kage Bunshin!" yelled Jin multiplying himself into 3 people. He then combined that technique with Exploding Replication to blow up 10 rabbits into pieces.

Maasaki saw Musashi's arm was bleeding from the rabbits, so he walked over and said, "Mystical Palm Technique", healing his arm.

"Wow, we really killed this rabbits", said Genta.

Team 2 walked away like nothing happened while team 4 stood for a while looking at the thousands of pieces of rabbit.

After some more walking, they reached the exit and waited for Team 1 and 3 to come.

While Team 2 and Team 4 were out of the forest Team 1 and Team 3 were having troubles with the killing rabbits of doom...

"How many are there?!" wondered Daichi as he skid away from the cannibalized rabbits. Tetsuma then angrily threw one of the rabbits harshly toward the ground... most likely killing it in the process.

"I don't know Daichi," replied Hayoto calmly as he made sure Kasshoku was still with him. "Kasshoku Drill!" This launched Kasshoku at the rabbit and also caused Kasshoku to have chakra surround him creating a magical drill.

Kakashi began engulfing his hands in ice and said, "Ice Release: Hail Bullet". This sent dozens of pieces of ice flying at the rabbits.

Shizu stood in the back, forming water that circled in her hand. "Water Release: Water Flow!" yelled Shizu. This sent a surge of water out of Shizu's hand hitting the rabbits.

Chouko stood silently beside her brother Tetsuma drew two sais with her kekkei genkai while her brother summoned crows with the kekkei genkai. "Black Feather," he said, causing his crow to shoot their black feathers rapidly at the rabbits. Chouko ran at the rabbits with Kakashi close besides her slashing the rabbits with his Ice Slash technique while Tetsuma's crows chewed the rabbits to pieces.

"Hayoto, watch out!" shouted Daichi as he rushed over to Hayato who was clueless of the rabbit that was about to attack him. "Lightning Rod!" yelled Daichi. Daichi threw a symbol on the rabbit and lightning roasting the rabbit, but he was attacked by another rabbit that Hayoto punched away. Daichi still got hurt but not as serious as Hayoto's injury would have been. The battle against the cannibalized rabbits and Team one and three went on for a bit more. Shizu fell down exhausted, she wasn't used to this much fighting before. Chouko suddenly threw her sai at her. For a moment it was as if Chouko was aiming for her but it was merely another cannibalized rabbit that was close to attacking Shizu. After that little incident the rest of the journey out of the forest was fairly easy, but quite annoying. Daichi continuously commented about the run in with the cannibalized rabbits and "when are we gonna get out..." It felt likes weeks before they got out of the forest to see Team two and Team four waiting, some patiently and some impatiently.

"It's about you guys came out of that damned forest," complained Musashi.

"Yeah, what took so long?" wondered Reiko. Maasaki merely nodded in agreement. It was typically for Team 2 to act so "cruel" to their fellow classmates. Kakashi stared at them annoyingly whereas Team 4 looked at the concerning. In Team 1, Kakashi's arm was bleeding lightly while Shizu had a cut a little above her eyebrow and a few scratches and bruises here and there, and Tetsuma had no injuries whatsoever. On Team 3, Daichi was limping slightly; Hayoto had small cuts around him along with Kasshoku and Chouko had a small cut on her leg and cheek. The only member that people were able to stand had to be Maasaki. The mission was over... now was time to go to the Fruit Village.
