Author's Notes: I skipped the writing part of the Chunnin Exams arc because it seemed...useless?...unneeded?...not sure, but anyway, here's the next chapter, enjoy.

Chapter 10: Forest of Death

The three Genin are unceremoniously tossed to the floor and glare up at their wolf-eared sensei who ignores it completely and puts on a sharp-toothed grin.

"Wait here for the other teams and then the next part of the Exams can begin okay? BYE!" said Siren before he disappeared in a puff of smoke and confetti.

"He needs to grow up." mumbled Sasuke getting up and dusting himself off as his other two teammates got up also and dusted themselves off before Naruto started scratching his back like crazy.

"Naruto, what's wrong?" asked Sakura confused at the blonde fox-boy's behavior.

"Fleas. I drop the Henge and already I'm being pestered by them! Now I know how Akamaru feels." said the blonde scrathing his back.

Meanwhile, said dog sneezes and Kiba also sneezes for no reason.

"Whatever. Let's just get this over with." muttered Sasuke caring very little for his teammates and only wanting to get more power to kill his brother.

After the rest of the teams assembled, and Naruto nearly getting hit in the face with a kunai thrown by a purple-haired woman (Anko), and the signing of a document saying "The Leaf Village is not responsible for your death should you die in the Chunnin Exams, or in the Forest of Death", Team 7 was waiting for the gate they were at to open and they were stuck with an Earth scroll.

After waiting several minutes, the gates opened and Team 7 entered and began looking (cautiously) for other teams. Suddenly the three came upon six frozen people and they stopped.

"W-what happened here?" said Naruto, wide-eyed.

"Looks like somebody froze these guys." said Sakura looking over the statues.

"Tch. It's a waste of time stand standing here, let's get going." said Sasuke uncaring about statues.

Suddenly the tallest of the three on the right exploded and a figure in blue armor with hands that seemed to be made of ice faced the three.

"Give me your Earth Scroll!" yelled the figure glaring at them with his icy blue eyes.

"You want it? You have to take it from our cold dead hands!" snapped Naruto.

"With pleasure." said the figure charging up an ice ball in his hands and Sakura and Sasuke glare at Naruto who sweat-drops.

"Ice Style: Blazing Snowstorm!" yelled the figure and the three are blinded by a raging snowstorm that appears out of nowhere.

"Gah! Can't see!" said Naruto before he felt an ice-cold (pardon the pun) fist punch him in the gut before he was kneed in the face and slammed onto his back. The figure looked down on Naruto, narrowing his eyes in the snowstorm before Naruto popped out of existence.

"Shadow Clone?!" said the figure shocked before he was punched in the back of the head and he whirled around to get a solid punch in the face from Sasuke causing him to stagger back.

"Thousand Years of Death!" yelled Naruto before the figure was sent flying into a tree where he collapsed and instantly got up charging an ice-ball in his hands before he threw the large ball of super hardened ice at Naruto who ducked under it as it flew overhead. Suddenly a shadow appeared over the blue-clad ninja and he looked up to see a fist plant itself firmly in his face before he blacked out.

The figure woke up and found that, not only was he tied up and alone, but his Heaven Scroll was missing and his eyes widened in panic.

"No! If I fail here, uncle's not gonna be happy!" said the figure freezing his restraints before he busted out of them and instantly took off, looking for a team to get either scroll from.

3 Hours Later; Tower in the Center of the Forest of Death (how'd they build that in the middle of the forest anyway?)

Team 7 arrived with both scrolls as a certain blue-clad ninja made his way to the tower at the same time, two separate arms in his hands each holding the different scrolls both frozen solid. He turns towards them, glaring angrily.

"I'm gonna enjoy freezing and then shattering you into itty-bitty pieces!" muttered the ninja, hate clear in his ice blue eyes, sending chills down the team's spines.

5 Days Later

After the rest of teams, those that survived anyway, arrived the next part of the exams began and the first fight was...

Random Grass Genin vs. Nick Saibot

Team 7 noticed on the far side of the arena, two figures watched the as the blue-clad ninja made his way into the arena.

The one on the left was wearing black armor and his skin was very pale and his eyes were blue, the right one looked like an older version of the one in the arena, if it weren't for the very visible eye scar he had.
