AUTORS NOTE PLEASE READ
Okay I know you all HATE the fact that Kagome lost her memory, but stop saying rude things.
If you want to judge without knowing what I'm going to do, stop reading. I hate to be mean, but I don't like you guys giving bad reviews on my story. You say its a tiny concussion. I actually mean coma. You see, I'm not very smart. It was supposed to be serious, but since she's a priestess, she heals fast. DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION?! Sorry. This is for the people who wrote the bad reviews...I'm short tempered.
I want to say thank you to the people who supported this story and wrote awesome reviews which encouraged me to keep going.
Just saying. I'm really bad at describing battle scenes. I will try to make it more exciting for you guys.
*ahem*
Anyways, enjoy!
-?-
Yuri opened the gates "you have five days to complete the exam. Go!"
The kids rand into the forest and were out of sight. Team 7 stood panting once they were deep in the forest...except Kagome.
"Ahh that was fun!" She lifted her arms in the air to stretch.
"Do you ever get tired?" Obito managed to breathe out.
"I dont think so" Rin was lying on the ground, exhausted.
"We need to find the Earth scroll so come on" It was obvious that Kakashi was also tired, but he made an effort not to show it.
"Kakashi dont you think we should supply ourselves with food first?" Kagome pointed out.
"The forest has many strange things. For example: that!" Kakashi pointed to a falling leech.
"Gross!" Kagome shrieked as the leech fell with a thud. She summoned two shurikens from the armband she had on earlier and threw it at the slimy animal. It disappeared with a poof. "A summoning animal? Who would want a leech for a summon?" She was disgusted by the thought
"It was probably just for the test" mused Obito
"Yeah whatever. Come on" Kagome truged through the forest without a care. She stepped on many dangerous things, but didnt seem to notice them.
"She's..." Obito seemed to be in a trance by the raven haired girl in front of him. She was a great leader and he bet with her leading, she would fufill her mission and not risk any lives of her comrades.
Kagome held her arm out to signal for the rest to stop. She summoned shurikens and threw it in the trees. Two figures leaped out.
"How?" Dimore asked
Kagome snorted "I'm not stupid"
"Humph. Anyways, what is your scroll?" Mefune had a demanding look on his face
"Oh so you want to battle it out?" The raven haired smirked "What kind of scroll do you have?"
"I asked you first"
"Well I asked you second. Now tell me or you can forget the offer. "
"Earth" Dimore mumbled
'Perfect' Kagome thought "okay. Whoever wins, will get the losers scroll"
"You against me." Mefune pointed to Kagome.
"Fine by me" Kagome "wind style: Two dragon fangs!"
The two silver swords was shrouded in blue chakra. She motioned it in a X motion and was about to let the wind shuriken go until Mefune made a move
"Fire style: dragon balls!" Mefune spit out hot, flaming red fireballs.
"Water Release: Water Encampment Wall!" Kagome slammed her hand into the ground, and a wall made of water was formed. The two elements clashed and the fireball lost its power.
"W-water release?!" Mefune stammered
Kagome gave a wicked grin "care to find out more?"
Mefune blinked several times and let out a growl. Dimore, in the background, was glaring at Kakashi.
'He's challenging me' Kakashi noticed "what do you want?" He turned to the
green haired boy.
"You. Me. Now." Dimore challenged.
"As I thought" Kakashi sighed. Dimore let out a strangled battle cry and charged. Rin and Obito looked horrified at the sight at the four people fighting.
"So...why are we always the ones left out?" Obito asked. Rin just shrugged
Kakashi beat Dimore easily and left him rolling on the ground, clutching his side.
"That was easy" Kakashi grimanced as he looked at Kagome and Mefune.
"Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique!"
Kagome appeared from under Mefune and dragged him down into the earth until only his head was showing. She got up and walked to his bag, and took out the Earth scroll.
"Thanks!" She called out while leaving.
-?-
"Kagome..." Obito appeared next to her
"Hm?"
"You're cruel"
"Hey, I got the scroll fair and square. Now come on. We're going to the tower."
"Okay"
-?-
*at the tower*
"Woah" Kagome marveled. She shook her head "come on let's go"
"Watch out Rin!" Kakahsi warned
"Hm? Eek!" A gigantic serpent lunged at the medical ninja.
Kagome summoned a kunai and charged at the snake she stabbed it in the eye and it hissed in pain. It tried to eat her, but she summoned her dragon fangs, and slashed the giant snake's neck off.
"Ew" Rin wrinkled her nose in disgust
The swords disappeared "we're wasting time. I want to get this over with" Kagome had a bored expression on her face.
-?-
*at headquarters*
"How did they get there so fast?" Tsunade wondered. She smiled. As a daughter of Minato, she was destined to do great things.
"How are things going?" A white haired man asked
"Jiaraya"
"Kagome's doing better isn't she? Last time I saw her, she was just a little kid" the sage smiled.
"Yeah. Hokage-sama is going to ask her to join ANBU when she is a Jōnin" Tsunade remarked
"I will be looking forward to that day. And I'm sure that her parents are too."
Jiaraya said
-?-
"Finally!" The door bursted open and four kids walked in.
"So where do we go now?" The boy with goggles asked
"Hm...well I guess we're supposed to open it, because Yuhi sensei said do not open the scrolls until we get inside the tower" Kagome said
"You and Kakashi open it" Rin said
"Okay" Kagome tossed the earth scroll to a silver haired boy. He caught it and place a finger, about to open the scroll. Kagome did th same thing. "3...2...1..."
They opened the scroll at the same time on the floor and a puff of smoke came out. Minato was standing there, hands on his hips.
"You pass" the blonde haired sensei smiled
"So how do we get out of here?" Obito asked
"The way you came in" Minato chuckled
The team groaned and looked at their sensei who was now gone.
"Great. More giant snakes and decapitating them." Kagome frowned
-?-
*at headquarters*
"Your students are good Minato" Jiaraya mused.
"Arigato sensei" Minato bowed.
"Kushina's going to have another child?" Tsunade asked.
The yellow flash nodded. "A boy"
"What's his name going to be?" Tsunade was looking out the window at the forest of death.
"Naruto"
"Naruto? Uzumaki Naruto eh?" She nodded approvingly "I can't wait to see what kind of child he is"
Minato laughed "me too"
-?-
"Oh that was tiring" Kagome stretched her arms in the air
Obito ran to the nearest water source and dived in. Rin laughed and knelt down by the pond and splashed her face with water. Kakashi sat down under a tree and closed his eyes. They heard a shriek coming from the forest and stopped what they were doing.
"Should we go help?" Obito asked
"No. We passed. Plus, they should survive on their own" Kakashi pointed out.
They resumed to enjoy themselves until they heard another scream followed by another and another until probably everyone in the forest were screaming.
"Okay. This is getting out of hand. I'm going in" Kagome summoned her swords and ran in the forest.
"H-hey! Dont go in by yourself!" Kakashi yelled, coming after her. Obito and Rin followed. They entered a clearing and saw Kagome fighting a...is that a...hydra? They turned their head to see Kagome doing a few hand signs
"Fire Style: Fire Dragon Bomb!"
The hydra was burnt to a crisp, and the people were unharmed.
"You know, I want something more of a challange" Kagome huffed
"That was as hard as it can get in Konoha" Kakashi said stunned
"Well bye" she turned and went out of the forest of death like it was just another building.
"How does she do this?" Obito shook his head
"Well...um...I really don't know." Kakashi noticed a paper bomb "this was a trap" he realized "run!"
*BOOM*
"What?" Kagome was thrown into a tree. "Ow..." She winced as the moved her arm. "Great. I broke my arm." She scrambled for the nearest twig and tore a peice of cloth from the hem of her shirt. She straightened her broken arm out, placed the twig on it, and wrapped the cloth around the twig and her arm to steady it.
"Kagome!" Three objects flew past her. A concerned Rin, a freaked out Obito, and a worried Kakashi.
"Hey" Kagome said weakly.
Rin raised an eyebrow "Broke your arm" she stated. "Here" she began healing Kagome's arm.
"Ah. Thanks" Kagome sighed
"Sure no problem" she giggled at Kagome's reaction.
"We need to get out of here" Obito was shaking.
Kagome hit him on the head "I THOUGHT YOU WERE BRAVER THAN THIS!"
"Itai..." He mumbled
"Come on" Kakashi grabbed Kagome's arm and pulled her through the forest.
"What about the others?" She asked
"Its a survival test."
"Hey wait up!" Now Obito was the one pulling Rin.
Soo there was fire and it was coming fast. How it started, no one knew. The four kids ran through the forest as fast as they can. They were by the gates when Rin tripped.
"Rin!" Kagome ran over to help her. The flames were closing in.
"No! Dont!" Rin shouted, but her best friend wouldn't listen. Kagome knelt down and hugged her.
"Your my best friend. You go, I go" she whispered. Rin's eyes widened with shock. The scorching hot fire suddenly engulfed them.
"Kagome! Rin!" Kakashi had tears streaming down his eyes. He had lost two of his teammates and best friends. They brought him happiness and joy. He remembered them laughing and having a good time.
Kakashi looked over at Obito who was stunned. He was frozen in place and wouldn't even blink.
"She...they...died together..." Obito said in which was barely a whisper. He also had tears running down his face.
Ninjas weren't supposed to show emotion...but who cares now?! His friends were dead! He couldn't take this anymore. He went to a tree and started punching it, cursing under his breath. 'Why? Why? I couldn't protect them. What kind of friend am I?'
Obito was staring off into space. 'Why them?' He wondered
-?-
It was dark and the fire was still there
Kakashi and Obito slept outside, due to the shock that had emotionally damaged them. Nothing would be the same for them again. They woke up hearing footsteps. Kakashi eyes snapped open and sat up. 'Kagome? Rin?' He turned and saw none other than his sensei. That just made him feel worse. "Gomen...sensei..."
Minato had sad eyes, but he smiled anyways. He stared at the fire for a while until he heard a voice.
"Minato-sensei"
"Hm?" He turned to Kakashi who was gripping his hand tightly.
"Do you think...they're still alive?"
"Thats hard to tell. I hate to admit it, but most likely not" he turned back to the fire that was dying down. He wanted to go in. He wanted to, but he can't.
He turned away not wanting to think of his dead daughter. 'Kushina would be devastated. Kagome had been on the verge of death a lot now. Now...it's over...'
"I can't afford to think like that" Obito got up and walked by the fire. "They must be alive. They have to be.
"Obito your chasing false dreams"
Obito turned to Kakashi "YOU WANT THEM DEAD DON'T YOU?!"
"No...I don't" Kakashi had a look of hurt in his eyes
"Then why?"
"I-it's a fire. No one can survive"
"you should have more faith in them!"
"I dont think its the time for arguing now" Minato crossed his arms.
The two bickering kids stopped and looked at their sensei. They could see that he had been crying.
"Hai" they both replied smugly at the same time. They gave each other a glare before turning away.
'I wonder what happened to the competitors...' Minato was buried deep in his thoughts. His mind was asking him so many questions. The thing what he was most concerned about was who started the fire.
Kakashi was angry and started punching the tree...again.
"CHIDORI!" That left a smoking hole in the tree. He kept repeating that process until the tree fell down. He was weak due to the amount of chakra he used, but he didn't care.
After five trees were knocked down, Minato spoke up. "You're going to die if you keep that up"
"Whatever" the angry boy scoffed
A loud cough was heard. They looked among themselves and realized it wasn't them. They turned to the dim fire and stood in shock.
"*cough* were you that upset Kakashi?"
