the second part of the exams: the forest of death!

( it has been about two days now. the contestents have healed from all there injurys. about 3 teams failed the first part of the exams and the remaining genin wait in a room for the 2nd part of the exams and the procter to arrive as it turns out whoever they are is late) karoshi: its been nearly 30 minutes! where is our procter!? ikiru: no idea. hanako: if there much later im gonna be killing someone tonight. (in all of this someone walks up to karoshi. she is hinata uzumaki. the chiled of hinata and naruto given her mothers name. she looks exactly like her mother. karoshi seems to stifen up when she gets close) hinata: hi k-karoshi. glad you made it to the exams. karoshi: you too hinata. hows things? hinata: same as always. dealing with idiots for teamates. (both laugh) hanako: you certainly act differently from your mother given that you look just like her. hinata: well remember who my father is. ikiru: haha! true true. karoshi: so h-hinata...how did the exams go so far? hinata: w-well...aside from the cloud problem pretty good. we got through with n-no problem. karoshi:g-good. glad y-your alright. kabuto: hinata! hes arriving! hinata: ok! well i-it was nice seeing you again, karoshi. karoshi: likewise h-hinata. (she leaves) ikiru: ive never seen a more obvious crush. karoshi: what are you talking about? ikiru: oh come on, the stutering, the blushing and the kind words. karoshi: you dont know what your talking about. ikiru: ah but i do. karoshi: shut up, our procter is arriving. (a man walks up to a podium and to everyones supprise it is kakashi hatake) kakashi: hello everyone. my name is kakashi hatake. sorry i got lost on the path of life- all genin: YEAH RIGHT! kakashi: aperently im known alittle to well haha... well anyway its time the exams progressed.

kakashi: listen carefully. when this exam is finished your numbers will be cut in half. all genin: *gulp* kakashi: over there are two private booths. you will send one person from your team there to get a scroll. the scrolls is going to be your targets. there are two different types of scrolls, a heaven scroll and an earth scroll. your job is to obtain both scrolls and make it to a safe house in the middle of a forest. random genin: so what forest do we do this in? kakashi: well...theres the fun part haha... ikiru: what do you mean "funn part" kakashi: im getting there hold on. each team will find and attack other teams to obtain there scroll. you need one heaven and one earth scroll to pass. there is also a time limit on this. 5 days to make it from the starting point to the safe house. along the way you will face, rouge ninja, other teams, and deadly animals and insects. be carfull if you want to live. they call this forest...the forest of death. people have and WILL die in there. it tests the survival skills of a ninja. the dangers are countless and failing chance is at 70%. 50% will fail absolutly. the other 20% is determined by other factors. good luck to you all. meet me at the gate to the forest in 15 minutes. on your scroll should be a piece of paper with your gate number. go to that gate. all of you start in different gates. oh, and one more thing. no matter what happens, no matter how tempted, even if your life depends on it, do NOT open those scrolls untill you arrive at the safe house. or else...

kabuto: what do you mean "or else" kakashi: trust me when i say, you dont want to know. all genin: *gulp* ( 15 minutes later team 6 stands at there gate, gate 69.) karoshi: so...this is the forest of death. (monstreous roars echo from the forest as well aas weird animal sounds and a massive snake is seen going through the forest) hanako: well its been nice knowing you both. ikiru: relax youll be fine. for i will rescue you in a pinch! i will be your knight in shining ar-(hanako kickes him in the nuts) ikiru: ouch...need more armor...(falls over) karoshi: nice shot. hanako: ive always had good aim. so when are we supposed to start? ujinomaru: when i open the gate. karoshi: sensei. why are your here? ujinomaru: the team leaders come here to open the gate at exactly 1pm. then the test starts. 5 days to get to the inner safe house. and get the other scroll. hanako: oh right. karoshi, witch scroll do we have? karoshi: a heaven scroll. ikiru: then all we need is an earth scroll. ujinomaru: good luck you three. make me proud. karoshi: of course sensei. no one will beat us!

ujinomaru: 3...2...1...go! (gate swings open and the team begins the exams) karoshi: come one guys, staright forward! ikiru: lets do this! ( the kids run for a long time finnaly stoping at a tree with a cave under it. it is now 8pm on there first day) karoshi: weve made some good time here. so well rest at this cave. this will be a camp for us. ikiru: no arguements. ill gather wood. hanako, catch us some fish. or hunt for wildlife to eat. karoshi, keep a sharp look out. give the word if someone shows. karoshi: sounds like a plan. listen, its possible that someone will use the transformation jutsu as opposed to force to obtain the scroll. keep a password in mind. "death" will be our one word password. ikiru: got it. im off! (walks into the forest) hanako: best get to it. ( runs off) karoshi: geuss i should get started. (climbs a tall tree) karoshi: lets see...i dont see anyone near. ? thats what you think. (turns around to find a hidden rain ninja with a cloak. the ninja knocks him to the ground) karoshi: after my scroll eh? hmmmm...how would you like to be my first test subject? ninja: what? (meanwhile hanako is hunting) hanako: lets see...(is stalking a deer. a twig snaps and the dear bolts for it) hanako: damn it. guess ill try somewhere else. wait...that twig wasent me-( is cut of by a swift kick to the face) hanako: why you. (another rain ninja also in a mask and cloak comes out with a kunai drawn) hanako: i was hoping i could let loose. lets go! (she runs forward but the rain ninja flips over her trying to attack her from behind but hanako turns to face him blocking his attacks) hanako: wanna tell me why your here!? ninja:... hanako: silent huh? well ill make sure to loosen those lips!

( the fight drags on with neither able to land a single succesfull blow. they seem to maintain a stalemate blocking or dodging eachothers attacks. just then, the two are cut off when a person flies in between th two. that person is also a rain ninja with a mask and cloak who is followed by ikiru holding his kunai) ikiru: attack me suddently will you, ill teach you a lesson! ( as ikiru passes hanako, not noticing her she takes the opertunity to attack her opponent and lands a sword swipe on his left shoulder) ninja: gahhhh! hanako: so you can talk. nows the time to contiue talking if you wish to leave here alive. ninja:... hanako: arnt you the stobborn one? ikiru: dont bother. mine wouldent talk either. there pretty good. as if theyre the same power level as us. hanako: well why dont we show them our full power? ikiru: no holds barred. (weaves several sighns) lightning style: bolt blast! (ikiru: puts his hand out and a bolt of lightning is blasted at the ninja who dodges it just in time. with no time to evaid, the ninja is struck with hanakos kunai, hitting him in the chest) ninja: gah! hanako: is that all you can say? (she apears right in front of him and uses her sword to cut a 3inch deep gash going from his left shoulder to his right kidney. he falls to the ground dead) ikiru: my turn (weaves several sighns and creates an electrical charge in his arm. he punches the air useing the same thunderclap jutsu as before. the ninja is caught in it and has most of his bones broken or shattered) ikiru: that takes care of that. if we were both attacked, then karoshi is probobly fighting one as well. we should go check on hi-( a massive explosion around karoshis area cuts them off) ikiru: shit! lets go!

(when the two ninja arrive the area is demolished and scortched to a heavy degree. in the middle of all the distruction is karoshi standing over an unregognizable scortched body) ikiru: what the hell happened here!? karoshi: heh heh. my new jutsu is a succsess. come on guys. we need to move camp so we can find a place to camp. hanako: well if we stay were gonna be found. ikiru: lets go. (after some traveling they find a cave that should work just fine for camping) karoshi: this will work. ikiru, get some wood. hanako, food. ill keep a look out and set some traps. ( about an hour later the students are sitting in the cave around a small campfire roasting some fish) ikiru: ahhh. lookin good. never knew you were such an amazing cook hanako! hanako: what can i say? ive learned alot from my mom. karoshi: good thing to. well need such skills in the future. hanako: then were set. ikiru: by the way hanako, you seems to read alot. you packed sveral books with you. what are they for? hanako: well ive been studying medical ninjutsu to help the team. so far ive learned a ton. should we need it in case one of you get injured i can attend to your wounds.

ikiru: thats so awesome! karoshi: ill say. they say every good team needs a medic. hanako: besides i want to do more than just fight when i can. this gives me more options in battle. ikiru: thats just what we need. a power house with medical skills. (hanako seems to blush) hanako: am i that strong? ikiru: take it from me, your amazing! karoshi: why dont you both just kiss and get it over with? (both ninja just freeze and blush before before freaking out) karoshi: what? ikiru: what makes you think were together!? karoshi: the way you look at her, the kind words, the blushing- hanako: we are NOT dating, dumbass! karoshi: please like its not obvious that you two like eachother. ikiru: why you liitle-(just then karoshi gets an angry look in his eye just before swinging his sword at ikirus head. when ikiru ducks karoshis sword slashes a 3 foot centipied on the wall behind ikiru) ikiru: what was that fo-(turns and sees the dead centipied) ikiru:...thanks...you know you coulda warnd me before swinging! what were you trying to do!? kill both of us!? karoshi: (sits back) possibly. ikiru: ill kill you! karoshi: bring it dickface! ikiru: die emo boy-(is cut off by a swift punch from hanako) hanako: keep it down so we dont get found out. idiots.

( after a long rest they wake up and begin there journey again.) karoshi: ok 4 days left. how far are we hanako? (is holding a map of the forest) hanako: according to the map we can make it in the shortest time of 5 or 6 more hours. karoshi: lets find a team with an earth scroll. ikiru: good idea. hanako: im gonna climb that tree and see if i can find someone. (hanako climbs the tree) karoshi: what do you see!? (no response) ikiru: hanako? hanako: theres something weird out there! i can see smoke rising about 4 meters from us twards 2 o clock! (jumps down from tree) hanako: lets go. (they run twards the mystry smoke and arrive to a clearing and a major shock. the field is covered in both bodys and mass amouts of spilled blood) karoshi: wh...what is this? hanako: karoshi! we found one whos still alive! ( hanako is treating a man with a badly cut stomach but is managing to breath) karoshi: what happned to you? man: (is struggling to breath) a man...with blond hair...and a long black robe...his partener...with massive metal hands...came from nowhere...and killed us...all...(dies from blood loss) ikiu: shit, hes dead. karoshi: man with blond hair? hanako: man with massive metal hands? whats this guy been smoking?ikiru: well there is some good news. i found an earth scroll. the bad news is that it was in the hand of a dead genin. karoshi: somethings odd about this. the cuts that cover everyones bodys are far to thick to be a sword or axe wound. ikiru: wait...blonde hair and a black robe...he cant mean...team 6: kukaku!
