Naruto story
Every team was waiting at the forest of death until a Jounin had arrived and loudly announced to the gathered shinobi to follow him to the stage of the next part of the exam.
As team 8 walked after the Jounin, you couldn't help but look through the gathered crowd of Genin here. You saw your friends, but like you, they were all too anxious to walk over and chat. You caught a glimpse of the team from the sand. Gaar stared into the void, Kankuro noticed his stare and glared right back at him. Only Temari winked at him before returning her attention back to her siblings. They walked up to a Gate with a stall next to it.
"Alright, listen up, you sorry brats!", a loud voice called and the attention was drawn to the shapely figure of Anko, who was standing on top of a stall next to the gate that led into the forest. Like yesterday, she seemed to be in a rather cheerful mood. "THIS! Is the Forest of Death!", Anko explained with a grand gesture towards the obvious forest behind her.
A groan. "Who would've guessed?", Naruto muttered. who was standing right in front of you. In an instant, his disinterest got him a retaliation he hadn't expected. A kunai had been flung right at you, and Naruto, only seeing it from the corner of his eye, only just pulled his head away so that it grazed his cheek. It still cut his skin and created a gash, and blood was quickly flowing out of the small wound. While you caught it.
"That's what happens if you don't pay attention to me...", the Special Jounin said as she stepped towards the frightened Naruto. Then, in a move that surprised everyone, she bent over, giving Naruto a good view of her cleavage and let her tongue dart out over the wound. "I've got a taste for blood. Mmm, so young, so fresh... I hope you make it out alive, boy.", she explained as Naruto "If not... we'll give you a proper burial.", the scary lady said nonchalantly while still wearing that same smile she had before.
"Here. You dropped this.", you said as he handed the kunia to Anko
"Oh. Why, thank you.", she said as she took the kunai and returned to her previous spot on top of the stall.
"Anyways, back to topic.", she announced and held two scrolls aloft. "These two scrolls are called 'Earth scroll' and 'Heaven scroll', respectively. You will start off with one of them, and you'll have to find the other one before you come to the tower in the center of the forest. The time limit is 72 hours to do that!", she said loudly.
"So that means we'll either have to steal it or defeat a team to get their scroll... but we won't know which team has the matching scroll beforehand... man, that sucks.", you heard Shikamaru complain next to Naruto.
"In other words, only half of the teams can advance to the next round?", Sakura asked loudly, getting Ankos attention.
The proctor nodded. "Yup, that's right. But usually, it's far less than that. Other than your opponents, the forest isn't called the 'Forest of Death' for nothing.", she reminded the young Genin with her still unnervingly cheery voice.
She scratched her head a moment in contemplation. That might've been a normal gesture, hadn't she done the scratching with the very kunai she had used to slice Naruto's cheek open. "Anything I forgot? Oh yeah. Folks, you MUST NOT look into the scroll before you enter the tower. If you open the scroll before you're inside that building, you'll automatically be disqualified. In a pretty uncomfortable manner, if I might add.".
"Good good, now each team comes here and signs up. You'll be given a scroll and each team will be led to their entrance.", Anko finished her explanation and jumped down from the stall. Slowly, the teams moved forward to register and receive their scroll, before being led away by the staff that stood ready there.
Some time later, it was Team eights turn. After signing up their names, they drew a number and were handed scroll. They got an Earth Scroll. The number, so they were told, corresponded to the gate where they would be entering the forest.
So, as they were brought to the gate by a Chunin, you took control of the team as he was supposed to. "Hey guys, we have to go over our strategy!", you said.
all of your teammates nodded thoughtfully. You were right of course. "Yeah. Like, who's gonna carry our scroll?", Sakura chimed in. "And what are we gonna do once we're inside...", you wondered with a look at the number of the gate they were standing in front of now. Yup, this would be their starting point. A small clock over the entrance showed the countdown until the gate opened. Only five minutes, and then the second stage of the exam would begin.
"Okay, so what's the plan, you guys?", Ino asked as they waited for the countdown to finish.
"Well, first of all: Who is going to carry the scroll?", you asked, thinking which among them was best suited to carry the important object for the duration of the exam.
Silence permeated the air until finally Hinata said "I think you should do it Shisui". Ino looked at her and saw how serious she was.
"Are You ok with this also" you asks Ino . She shock her heads yes.
"Now that's one thing down, but how about the other scroll we need? We have to get the heaven scroll before we can enter the tower", Hinata said knowingly.
"I think I know what we can do!", Ino said, getting your attention. "I say we spend the first days trying to get the scroll ourselves. If it comes down that we don't have it on the third day, then we can try to get a team as they try to get to the tower.", Ino said,
"Fine, I guess that's the plan.", you agreed as the clock neared the final seconds of the countdown.
"Alright Team 8, we split up as soon as we get in there and i'll send a clone with each of you. if they disappears if we all are together or i"m knocked out. Meet back at the gate in a hour, got it?", you asked getting nods from your teammates as they got ready to enter the forest. "Ino, Hinata", you said getting their attention."Be careful, okay?", you said. The girls looked wondrous for a moment before they nodded with small smiles, seeing how caring you were being at the moment.
Finally the doors to the Forest of Death swung open you made three shadow clones and Team 8 leapt into the forest, gaining top speed rather quickly and splitting from each other as they fanned out into the dense forest. he lost sight of Ino as she veered away from him and finally Hinata not having anything better to do, you decided to search for possible targets.
For the first twenty minutes, you found no sign of any other team anywhere you looked. 'This is bad, I haven't seen even a foot print! Where can these teams be?', you thought to yourself as you leaned against the tree you were standing on. "Maybe I should head back to the meeting spot?", you asked yourself again quietly before you hear someone screaming close to your location. So you rushed off to see what the screaming was about.
As you got closer you could hear what sounded like a bear roaring. As you got to a giant opening you see a giant bear moving to the red haired girl that you saw when taking the quiz she tries to run but she trips on a tree root. You jump down from the tree and kick it in the head four times and knock it out.
"you ok. and where is you team" you ask. while standing on top of the bear. She reaches for her glasses that fell off of her when she fell
"yes i'm ok" she tries to stand but as soon as she puts weight on her right ankle she falls. but you catch her before she hits the ground
"looks like your body is saying other whys" he says "my name is Shisui Hashirama Uchiha II"
"Karin Uzumaki as for my teammates they died by the bear attack."she says with her head down. You wonder if she's related to Naruto "I don't think I can continue like this so can you take me to the closes gate so I can leave" so you take her to the closes gate which happens to be the gate your team entered in "thank you for helping me and saving my life i can't really give you anything for it. but i can give you this" she hands you the Heaven scroll.
"thanks" you say as you take it. But before she lets it go she gives you a kiss on the cheek.
"that's also a thanks for for rescuing me" with that she was gone.
You sat there another twenty minutes waiting for your teammates after the all arrive you said " alright you all ready to go to the tower.” Ino and Hinata look at you funny.
"we can't go to the tower yet we don't have the heaven scroll yet" says Ino,
"oh you mean this" you say as you hold up the scroll.
"how did you get that" asked Hinata
"I was given it for rescuing the person who gave it to me" you said
"the person who gave it to you was a girl was it not?” ask Hinata
"how did you know" you ask
"just a hunch" Hinata said
"now the question is who is she" asks Ino staring at you
"someone you don't know but her name is Karin Uzumaki" you told them
"Uzumaki do you think shes related to Naruto" asks Ino
"I don't think so she doesn't look anything like Naruto." You say "but i think we should be moving to the tower before someone tries to attack us.”
As they opened the door to the tower, the team were pleased to find that the sun was overhead, meaning it was late afternoon. They could relax for a bit before the next exam took place.
When they walked into the empty room, you and the others stood there for a moment, looking around. "You'd think they would have someone to greet you here.", Ino muttered, not liking the cold welcome they got in the building.
"Wait, aren't we supposed to open the scrolls as soon as we get here?", Hinata pipped up, remembering the strange exam ladies instructions to the T.
Grinning, you nodded. "That's right, Hinata", you said, pulling both of the scrolls from your pocket and handed the other to Ino. At the same moment, both members of Team eight opened the scrolls and white smoke erupted from the paper. "Ah! What is this?", Ino yelled in surprise as you realized what it was. "It's a summoning! Quick, toss it to the floor!", you yelled as Ino quickly obeyed.
When both scrolls landed, the smoke grew in size before a clouded figure could be seen through the smoke. As the smoke slowly dissipated, Team 8 was overjoyed to see the familiar and smiling face of their teacher, Kurenai. "Hello, Team 8. Good to see you all made it here.", she said, "I'm very proud you were able to pass this exam. That you stand here means you worked together as a team, and that is much more important than individual skill. Yes, I was certain you were able to do it. you all also set a new record by finishing the exam in three hours" Kurenai praised her team.
"actually Shisui was given the scroll Kurenai" Ino said
"really why where you given it" Kurenai asks looking at you
"I just saved a girl from a big bear and took her to a gate because she twisted her ankle" You said
"well that is the first time I’ve heard someone getting a scroll that way" Kurenai said
"the weirdest part about the way he got it was the girl last name was Uzumaki" Ino said
"that is a little weird. i'll tell the hokage about this" kurenai said. She then turned around and opened the door behind her. Team 8 followed her and they entered an empty lobby sense they were the first ones there Kurenai lead her team to there bedroom as they entered you saw that they had three nice beds, spacious enough and comfy-looking. Ino was naturally overjoyed and Hinata was blushing as you can see there and you were grinning because you knew most likely they would be sharing just one or push them all together.
Meanwhile, Ino had looked around and opened a door that led to another room. What was behind that door made the girl squeal in joy. "Ooh, we even have a bathroom.", Ino cooed. As she turned back to the assembled people, during that you threw your ninja bag on a bed and got into that bed. With that you were asleep.
"he fell asleep really quick" said Ino
"yes he did, but he has been very busy lately some times we don't see him for a few days and when we do see him he's always looks half dead but he'll still come to practice when he's around" Hinata says as sits on the same bed you are on
"I wonder what makes him like that" Ino says as she gets on the bed as well. but when she gets on she knocks over your bag and all your stuff falls out "whoops my bad" as she goes to pickup the stuff that fell out of the bag she notices his make "whats this" she asks as she holds up your ANBU mask.
"It looks like a mask that the ANBU would wear" Hinata said " check to see if there's black clothing, a grey flak jacket, metal arm guards and gloves" Hinata tells Ino.
Ino looks threw the bag and sees everything Hinata listed off "so then this explains everything" Ino puts everything back i the bag and closes it up. Hinata and Ino lay down with you.
As team 8 walked after the Jounin, you couldn't help but look through the gathered crowd of Genin here. You saw your friends, but like you, they were all too anxious to walk over and chat. You caught a glimpse of the team from the sand. Gaar stared into the void, Kankuro noticed his stare and glared right back at him. Only Temari winked at him before returning her attention back to her siblings. They walked up to a Gate with a stall next to it.
