"If you take one step outside the forest, you will fail this. If you give you fail. If you die you fail." She said as he gulped. "I warn you know this forest is feared even by chunins the monsters in here are giant and ferocious. This is your last chance to give up if not walk in there and accept the challenge."

Naruto never being one to deny a challenge walked into the forest as the gate opened. "I see then now the test will commence."

Day 1

Naruto was shivering as he walked in the forest, "Damn it, it's cold!" Being outside with only pants in the middle of a forest as it was getting dark he couldn't help but feel cold. He shouted out as he eventually found a spot where he could camp out "Fist, I need uhm fire wood! That's right!" Naruto said to himself as he then made a hand seal channeling chakra he shouted the name of one of the only Jutsu's he knew.

"Kage Bunshin No Jutsu!" (Shadow Clone Jutsu)

Several clones of Naruto appeared in puffs of smoke as they all set out for fire wood. Naruto sat down near where the camp fire was wondering how he should start the fire. "Let's see uh don't you just rub two stick's together?" Naruto thought out loud. Naruto grabbed two sticks and held them together as he began to rub them.

Naruto didn't how long he spent attempting to make the fire. He though was never one to give up. So for the next few hours he sat their only to make nothing. Naruto groaned as he then sighed.

What other way was there to make fire? Naruto then remembered something about hitting rocks together as he began to look around he grabbed two rocks and began trying to hit them together. Naruto was near the firewood however no spark every came from the rocks. Eventually Naruto switched back to sticks.

It took him hours but finally two hours later he had made a small camp fire.

Day 2

Naruto woke up next to his fire as he stretched as he felt a cold shiver down his body. Naruto turned to see his fire was almost out. "Oh crap!" Naruto got down and tried to heat the fire up however nothing worked on it. "Just hold on I'll get firewood!" Naruto shouted and ran off to gather firewood.

Naruto was in near a few trees as on instinct he jumped back as something came flying past him. Naruto looked to see a large white tiger staring him down. Naruto's eyes went wide as he jumped out of the way from a lung. Naruto dropped the fire wood and ran. At the moment he had nothing to defend himself with.

Naruto kept on running as even he wasn't crazy enough to fist fight a giant tiger. Naruto though then saw it a sword sticking out from the ground. Naruto glance around and saw no one not even the tiger. Naruto walked to the sword as he pulled it out admiring the blade.

The handle was made for a single hand as it was made of a black metal. Naruto had always believed sword handles where wooden why was this one metal? He then looked at the blade as it was the length of his arm it was a thin and straight blade that had a single edge, the top of the blade on the edge side curved to the back side of the blade forming a point.

Naruto glanced around and saw no one around. The blade also looked old as he stared noticing a little rust on the blade, "What the hell is this?" Naruto said looking at a seal on the blade. "What does it do?" He asked himself unsure at the time as he then began to channel chakra to the sword as blue light shot out of the sword into Naruto.

Naruto was pinned against a tree as a red light began to come from him towards the sword. Naruto screamed as the red light grew bigger and eventually he passed on the ground.

Day 3

Naruto woke up in the clearing and blinked to himself as he groaned and was surprised the tiger hadn't attacked him. Naruto looked and saw the blade from earlier though what shocked him was what he saw. The blade's edge was now a dark blood red, the rest of the blade turned pitch black as Naruto also saw nine red strips around the handle.

Naruto picked the blade up with ease and was shocked at how the weight somehow changed. He didn't know why but he knew this was the same blade from before. Just to make sure he checked the but of the handle to see the seal from earlier still there.

Naruto then decided to head back to the fire he made. As he walked he carried the sword in his hand having no type of sheath for it. Naruto eventually got to his fire. Naruto sighed seeing the fire was out and he had forgotten the fire wood.

"Damn it…" Naruto sighed and was about to go back for the fire wood until he then heard a loud screech. Looking up he saw a large black bird diving at him as his eyes widened. Naruto began to run out of instinct as the bird swooped in at him.

Naruto leaped up on the top of a branch as the bird kept going. Naruto jumped at the bird his sword aimed at the bird's body. Naruto landed on the bird as the blade stick into the bird's body. The bird then began to go nuts, flailing into trees and the ground as an attempt to get Naruto off.

Naruto held on as best as he could however the bird decided to do a long flip as it was flying upside down! "What the hell!" Naruto shouted holding the blade as tight as he could. Naruto then saw it. The blade began to slip out as Naruto's eyes widened when the blade went out of the raven's body Naruto fell down hitting tree branches along the way.

His body stopped on a branch as he laid their sword style in hand his body hurt too bad to move. Naruto closed his eyes and welcomed the darkness that came.

Day 4

Naruto groaned as his body was still in pain, Naruto grabbed his sword and jumped on the ground as he began to move somewhat shaking the pain was intense to him. Naruto wasn't use to feeling this much pain usually a fall like that would be nothing something was wrong and he knew, but that wouldn't stop him he would pass this test he only had three and a half days left.

Naruto walked and heard forward and heard a familiar growl. Naruto groaned couldn't he have one peaceful day just one!" Naruto turned and saw the white tiger from earlier. It was growling at him as it lunged forward.

Naruto took his sword and swung as the tiger leapt out of the way, Naruto jumped back and holding the blade in a reverse grip made a cross hand seal.

"Kage Bunshin No Jutsu!"

two other Naruto's appeared each of them having a blade replica however Naruto noticed their blades wasn't red like his instead they were a dull black, but the thing that shocked Naruto was he was going for five not two of them. They all charged however the tiger swung a paw as the wind made all the clones disappear.

Naruto then charged at the tiger as the tiger clawed Naruto sending him flying into a tree as three large gashes formed on his body. Naruto was going to get up however he soon found the tiger looking straight at him and began to sniff him? Naruto watched as the giant white tige's ear twitched as it darted off instantly.

Naruto let of his sword as it clung on the ground he then closed his eyes again. Hopefully tomorrow would be peaceful but he doubted it.

Day 5

Naruto woke up and grabbed his sword. He then blinked and found something off to his side. Naruto crawled towards it his body not wanting to move much at all. He saw a box with a red cross on it and his eyes widened. A first aid kit what luck! Naruto opened the box up and saw the inside of it a sewing needle, ointment, bandages, and a disinfecting spray.

Naruto also saw a single pill in a packet that read soldier pill on the label. He then saw another book "How to sew up wounds. Naruto looked at his chest as the bleeding had stopped but wasn't sure if it was infected.

Naruto opened up the book and gulped at the instructions that were given. Naruto took his and began to spray it with disinfection as he held it to the wound. If it sealed while infection was inside of it then he would need to get the infection out the only way he knew how was to reopen the wound.

Naruto grit his teeth has he pressed the sword against his wounds he watched as the wounds began to bleed a strange yellow. He wanted to scream in pain but he knew this had to be done. Naruto eventually stopped as he then got the ointment in the box as it said it would draw out any leftover infection as he pressed it to his body it began to burn.

Naruto looked at the other two gashes as he began to press his sword against them. After finishing the other two wounds he then grabbed the bandages and began to wrap it around his stomach and chest. It wasn't a professional wrap however it did do its job good enough. Naruto looked at the soldier pill he read the effects of how tired he would be after wards.

He put it into a pants pocket and decided to keep it until Later. Naruto stood up as he was getting hungry and stumbled some. Naruto looked at a bush of a berries and was about to get one. A squirrel dashed ahead and snatching one. When it bite into it the next instant it fell over dead. Naruto gulped and sighed as he pushed himself against a tree.

"Maybe just a little bit more sleep." Naruto said closing his eyes.

Day 6

Naruto woke the next morning and redressed his wounds. He usually healed faster what was happening? He shook his thoughts off and began to walk. Damn he was hungry he needed to eat something. Naruto walked wondering what he should eat and decided on finding an animal to eat. He couldn't trust the plants after all he had no idea if they were poisoned.

Naruto came to stop as he noticed a small bundle of wood and realized this is where his fire was made. He sighed seeing the fire was now out. "Damn it." Naruto then heard wings flapping and a growl and blinked. He walked to a clearing to see the large white tiger there.

But then Naruto saw it was fighting two giant birds like the one he fought from before. Naruto though saw the tiger pounced on one bird taking it down. The other bird screamed in rage as it clawed the tiger's eyes. The tiger began swiping as Naruto noticed it had killed the other bird. The bird then glanced off as Naruto's eyes widened.

A small tiger cub as it let out a whine the large tiger attacked the bird as the bird floated up letting the tiger crash as the bird then clawed it's throat killing the tiger. Naruto didn't know why but he had frozen in thought.

It had killed the other bird easily meaning it could have easily killed him. Now that he thought it only attacked him when he got close to here. It was only protecting it's cub. Naruto saw the bird dive at the cub as rage filled him.

How dare this bird kill its parent then the cub! Hell no he wouldn't stand it. Naruto dashed forward unconsciously channeling chakra into his sword. Naruto used his sword to block the talons of the bird as the bird felt the blade cutting into it's his talons the bird went to fly away however Naruto swung slicing off its talons the process.

The bird then pecked Naruto in the cheek has he went tried to dodge the bird made a scar on his face they went from his bottom right cheek to the bridge of his nose as he then stabbed the sword through the bird's stomach. The bird then fell over dead.

Naruto looked to see the tiger cub trying to wake its mother and sighed. He knew what it was like to be an orphan and from what he could tell there was no father since only the mother was defending the cub. Naruto looked at the birds as he was still hungry.

Naruto sat next to a camp fire eating meat as he had roasted the birds he had cleaned his wounds again and the one on his face he was lucky as the disinfection spray would last one more day for tomorrow the day he went back.

Naruto had no idea how he changed but to him it was like a cloud had lifted from his mind allowing him to think. Like a giant head ache was gone. Naruto felt a nuzzle at his side and blinked as he saw the tiger cub from before. He sighed as it stared at the meat in his hands.

He had already eaten enough as he then gave it to the cub that began tearing into it. "I see your lonely like me know huh." The cub looked up at him from his meat and then walked onto his lap and sat in it. Naruto blinked at the cub. He was going to move it but it was already asleep. Naruto sighed as he laid down the cub snuggling up to him. Naruto closed his eyes glad he would be out of this forest tomorrow.

Day 7

Naruto woke up to see the tiger cub was staring at him. "Were you waiting for me?" The cub he swore nodded. Naruto stared at it, "Well how about Kella." He said as he swore the cub blinked at him. "It's a nice name right." Kella nuzzled his leg as if nodding to him.

Naruto grabbed his sword as he began to walk around trying to exit the forest as he then began to get lost. Naruto sighed as he decided to head in one direction he eventually made it to the large gate. Though it was getting dark now he then walked around the gate trying to find the entrance as he then saw his sensei Komachi.

"Komachi-sensei." Naruto said with a grin she though was looking at his sword with wide eyes.

"Naruto come here now." Naruto blinked and ran to her Kella behind him. "What happened to the sword?" She said as Naruto told her exactly what happened. She nodded though the light disturbed her.

"Alright then Naruto the Hokage will want to know about this, but we can tell him tomorrow you deserve rest." Naruto nodded as Kella stood beside him. "And who is this little guy?"

"Girl actually." Naruto corrected and then told his sensei about the large birds and tigers.

"I see now then go home however I will need to take that sword to the Hokage." Naruto nodded as he held the sword for her to grab. As she grabbed it the sword heated up and began to melt.

"What the hell!" Naruto said freaking out as Kella was growling at the sword.

"I see take the sword home with you and report to the Hokage at five O'clock in the morning take the sword with you." Naruto nodded picking up the sword. "Here," She tossed a black sheath to Naruto. "You cannot go to Konoha walking around with an unsheathed sword."

/

The next day

Naruto was glad to finally be home as he had on a black under shirt and his baggy orange pants. The jacket felt too hot for him at the moment as he then strapped his sword to the left of his waist. Naruto then felt Kella jump on his shoulder and let out a purr. "Come on Kella its time to see Jiji and the psychopathic sensei." Naruto said as he couldn't think of anything else to call that woman.

The two made it to the Hokage's office as Kella had jumped off his shoulder to walk beside him "Hey Jiji!"

Author Note

I will try to make each chapter at least 2500 - 3500 words please remember I am still just a beginner at writing fanfics so please if you have a question or I misspelled something please let me know so I can fix it or answer your question. Also the first chapter was shorter mainly because it was a prologue. The reason for my word limit is mainly because of grammar errors I can keep to a minimum this way. I'm just not use to typing out long chapters.
