Sry bout the Wait guys, I've been quite busy lately. And as for Osaka, think of her like Kabuto, they other two on his team don't matter, and neither does the Sensei. Osaka is the only important member on her team, and will be playing an important role and soon you will get to see her Jutsu. One more thing, my new comp is giving me problems with word, so it will be done in wordpad until I get it working. Again sry about the wait, Lets Chapter 11 begin.

Chapter 11

Everyone had followed Anko to the place called the forest of death, "Listen up people," Anko said smiling, "this is where the next test will take place."

"But why is it called the forest of Death?" asked Sakura.

"Quite simply because someone will die," said Anko, the smile on her face growing a little.

"Bring it on weirdo!" proclaimed NAruto, "You can't scare me with a stupid line like that!" and with that a Kunai shot right by Naruto, cutting into his face. ANko Imidiatly appeared behind her.

"Better watch what you say," she said running her finger through some of the blood on his cheek, "I just love this color, don't you?" she said refering to the blood. Anko, however, quickly drew another Kunai and almost stabbed the guy with the long tounge who was suddenly behind here, "You should be more careful," Anko smiled, "do that agian and you may die at a very young age."

"My apologies," he said, "But I just get excited at the site of blood," Anko smiled and continued with the explanations.

"Each of you will be given a scroll. Half will recieve a heavan and the other half earth. Collect both scrolls and make it to the tower in the center of the forest. All three members of your team must survive, and only half at most will survive. But don't count on it, and besides. It wouldn't be as much fun for me," and with that the teams were handed their scrolls and sent into the forest from different gates.

Naruto, Hinata, and Lee all stood in front of gate five. In Naruto's possession was the Scroll of heaven, "Shouldn't we come up with a plan of some kind?" asked Naruto.

"Saddly to say, I was never very good at planning things," Lee said a little dissapointed.

"Um, I-I have a plan, N-Naruto-kun," replied Hinata.

"Really? What is it?" asked Naruto walking a bit closer to Hinata.

Hinata turned a bit red as Naruto came closer, but forced herself to speak, "Well, I-I could take Lead, m-my byakuugan is capable of s-seeing any Hidden traps. N-naruto will c-create a few clones to s-scout out other areas so we can find the other scroll faster."

"Thats a great Idea Hinata!" said Naruto patting her on the back. Hinata just turned even redder as Naruto began to walk into the forest. Hinata started to daydream a little but quickly regained and ran a little ahead. They were going for a few hours before the first team they encountered appeared. One of Naruto's clones had come across a team from hidden stone. When he observed them however they had one of the Heavan scrolls.

"Sorry guys, there isn't anyone around here with the earth scrolls. We'll have to head somewhere else," said Naruto.

"Lets head east," suggested Lee.

"Um, we could split up," said Hinata.

"But isn't that a bad Idea?" asked Naruto.

"N-normally, b-but if we keep hidden well enough, we c-could find a scroll f-faster, and find the others and tell them," she said, a little afraid to go out by herself, but remembered what she and Kurenai talked about before the exams started.

"Listen Hinata, I really do like you, but you need to be willing to take a risk," Kurenai said.

"But I-I know I'm not a very s-strong Ninja," Hinata replied twiddling her fingers together.

"Listen, if you don't be a bit more bold thats how it will stay," Kurenai Firmly stated.

"But, I-I d-don't know if I..." Hinata stopped talking, afraid of hearing those words.

"Can be like the one you admire?" asked Kurenai with a smile.

Hinata turned beat red and looked up at Kurenai, "W-what do y-you Mean?"

"Its Naruto, isn't it?" said Kurenai with a small laugh, causing Hinata to smile a little.

"Is it really so obvious?" she asked.

"Don't think of this as a chance to become a Chuunin, but a growing experience. Learn to be like Naruto, and never back down even in the face of death itself," said Kurenai.

"Arigoto, Kurenai-Sensei."

"Right," Lee said, "I'm guessing I'll go east. Lets meet at what is the halfway point between hear and the tower."

"I'll go along with it, but I'm going with Hinata," Naruto said. Hinata turned beat red after hearing this.

"B-but Naruto-kun," Hinata said.

"Listen HInata," replied NAruto, "I know we would cover more ground if we split up, but you are the most likely one to get hurt. Lee is fast enough to get out of just about any situation, while you have expended a lot of energy on your Byakuugan already, you can't go alone," there was a deeply worried look in Naruto's eyes, for he was right. She was quite drained.

"Arigoto, Naruto," Hinata said as the two went to the west.

Lee took off in a hurry. Even though he thought it was a good Idea, he didn't like the Idea of leaving his team behind, so hurried to find someone with the earth scroll so they could get out of there as fast as they could. After a full day of searching he finally found someone. It was a team form hidden rain, but they seemed fully energized. Lee saw that they just took an earth scroll from another weak team.

"Damn it!" yelled one of the Ninja's, "we already have one of these. We need the heavan scroll."

"Stay calm, at least we are shortening the competition. We'll just keep going like this until we get the right one," said another one calmly. They nodded there heads and continued.

IF I follow them until they where themselves out I'll have no problem talking their two earth scrolls and limiting the competion later, Lee thought to himself. He contiued to follow them until the next day, when the team got into a fight and took another earth scroll. This fight however left two of the Nin's completely exauhsted. Lee couldn't lose this opprotunity and attacked.

He started by launching a Kunai at each of the exhuasted ones, catching them off gaurd in their exhausted stages. Lee quickly ran around and hurled another Kunai before they realized he moved, convincing the only one in fighting shape that there were multiple enemies.

The remaining Ninja however realized what happened. He himself was quite fast, se was able to detect Lee''s movement and dodged the Kunai, "Come on out, I know your alone, Bushin Jutsu!" yelled the Ninja creating two copies of himself. Lee Lept from the trees and charged full speed. The two clones quickly broke apart, but Lee was hit with a summersault right to the Chin, "Im and quite fast myself freak," he laughed, "don't think this will go quickly."

Lee simply smiled and thought it would be best to end it quickly so he could get back to his team in near top form, "Sorry, but I can't afford to play, my flames of youth will end this," Lee then began running circles around the man, and quickly struck with the initial Lotus. THe man was out on the ground as Lee grabbed the scroll and began to run as fast as he could to the meating point. However upon getting there he heard a familiar scream in the distance, it was his lovely lotus petal. He ran off towards the scream of Sakura.

Again Sry about the crappy format it will look like when you read it in wordpad format, NExt chapter will cover NAruto, Hinata, Neji, Lee, and Sakura.
