A.N. Alright, so far so good, no one has called me out on some things I should have made clearer in the last Author Notes. 1 Everything including Hinata's personality change has all been because of Naruto and Sasuke's changes. Look up Hinata's history and you will see just how influenced her life has been by Naruto. 2Naruto has a new move that I haven't quite explained very well, but I intend too in the forest, but just in case I forget here you go. Shadow Replacement Jutsu: Imagine an L okay? The tall part is Naruto and the leg is his shadow. Just like a normal replacement, this has to have the correct fore knowledge that an attack is coming, it cannot be done just whenever you are hit, same restrictions as the normal jutsu. Now here is the deal, you replace yourself with your shadow, however, you need to be able to do shadow clone jutsu and shadow of the dancing leaf to do this. 3 Orochimaru's Gennin body is gonna be a girl, sorry, I already wrote a lot and I would have to change shit, but think about it, they usually try balancing out Genin teams by having at least one girl on it (At least they do with the Leaf) and his disguise would make more sense with the whole "You messed up my hair" deal and a female body would be even less suspicious. Sorry, I normally wouldn't do this, like Haku, no way would I, that is mostly for echi stories, but for a part as minor as this, gender is unimportant enough I would think.. All happy now? Wunderbar ^^. Alright, let's continue.
Chapters 45 "The Second Exam" - Chapter 55 "All Out War" bring you...
Chapter 12: The Second Exam! The Forest of Death!
All the Genin participants are gathered in front of Anko Mitarashi, in front of a huge fenced off forest. Anko: "Welcome to the stage for the second test, practice area 44. More commonly known as 'The Forest of Death!'" Sakura: "Wow... This is... Kinda creepy..." Naruto: "Hah, there's nothing to it. Their just trying to freak us out. I'm sure the name is just meant to scare us." Anko: "Oh, you'll find out why it got it's name heheh." Sasuke: "Hn, please. As if that would scare anyone."
Anko let a kunai slip out of her sleeve and threw it faster than Sasuke could blink. It slashed his cheek and cut the hair of a female Kusa-nin before being caught by the Ninja's extended tongue. Anko appeared behind Sasuke, holding his chest and face very intimately as she licked the dripping blood from his stunned cheek, which obviously made Ino and Sakura most of all flush red with jealousy, Naruto with ecchi. Anko, smiling sweetly as she licked up the blood off his cheek: "Oh yes, I love that red blood. It's second only to the perfection that are dango." Something quickly alerted her. She pulled another kunai from her other sleeve and pulled it up too the throat of the Grass Konoichi that was directly behind her. Kusa-nin?1, returning the tongue wrapped Kunai to Anko: "Here's you're kunai..." Anko, licking her lips: "Why thank you~." Anko grabbed her kunai back as the two serpent's retracted their tongues and Sasuke was starting to feel a little less than comfortable, but not as much as he expected he would be. "But you know, you shouldn't sneak up behind me unless you want to die." Kusa-nin?1: "Oh, do excuse me. I just get a little exited when I see such beautifully red blood. Plus. You cut my precious hair, I couldn't help it..."
Ino: 'THOSE *****ES!' Sakura: 'Those *****es! What's with those people, they're just sooo damn creepy... I don't trust them, especially not near Sasuke-kun... Especially not that girl from Grass...' Naruto: 'Why the **** are their tongues so long!?' Sasuke: 'Something was off about that Grass girl... Something is off with our proctor too, but how was she able to get behind her like that...'
Anko: "Looks like we have a lot of blood thirsty ones this year." This cued Garra's team to glance at him, only to dart their eyes away when he stared coldly back. "Heheh, this should be fun." Chuunin began passing out papers to all of the participants. "Alright, before we start the second test, I have to unfortunately wait until all of you fill out these papers... There will be deaths in this one so you all need to get these agreement forms signed so I am not held responsible hehe." Some grinned as though Christmas had finally came, but most grimaced, unprepared to put their lives on the line with all of these freaks around.
"Alright, while the forms are being passed out, I will explain the rules so listen up and listen good. Simply put, you will attempt the ultimate survival. First off, I'll explain the area a bit so you know what you're dealing with. The forest has a 20km diameter with a tower in the center, which you all will be racing too. There are two rivers that lead to the tower, but other than that, you will mostly be dealing with forest, and a lot of it. The forest is fenced off with 44 gates in which you will all be placed at when we begin, obviously. You will be asked to complete a certain task however so don't think you can just run as fast as you please and be done with it. Using your many weapons, jutsu, etc, you will compete in a no rules scroll battle." She let it all sink in before continuing, curing any confusion that was blowing around. She pulled out two unique looking scrolls. One with the Kanji for Heaven, the other for Earth. "You will fight over these two scrolls of Heaven and Earth. There are 78 people here, meaning 26 teams. Half will get the Heaven scroll and Half will get the Earth, too pass the test however, you will need to make it to the tower with both scrolls and your whole team, all within 120 hours, that's exactly five days."
Ino in disbelief: "Five Days!?" Choji in hunger: "What about Dinner!?" Anko: "You're on your own, a real Chuunin has to be able to survive in situations like this in in desperate situations, though you will usually be able to pack accordingly before missions, you have to know how to survive without any thing but the area around you.. The forest is full of food. Just watch out for man-eating beasts, man-eating plants, poisonous plants, poisonous insects, etc. And even though this makes a total of 13 teams to possibly pass, it is very unlikely even that many will make it. As the days go on, the distance to the goal will be farther as the time grows shorter and the area is crawling with enemies and other dangers. You will not get much sleep. Know now that you will be disqualified if you do not make it in time or are unable to make it with a full team that where all members are all but incapacitated. You cannot quit once you enter the forest, period. Oh, and last thing. Do not look in the scrolls until you make it to the tower."
Sasuke: "And what happens if someone does..?" Anko: "That will be a surprise for anyone who even tries Gaki. 3" Naruto, making his team drop there jaws: "Pft, that's a cheap answer you crazy *****." Anko: "I WOULD KILL YOU IF I WASN"T SURE THAT YOU'RE GONNA DIE IN THERE BRAT!" Naruto, getting face to face with the ice queen, sparks between their eyes: "Hey! No one's stopping you! Unless your chicken freak!" Sasuke, sliding in between and pushing them away from each other: "Alright ladies calm down will yeah? Naruto, just don't die in there and you can kick her ass when your Chuunin." Anko, making Naruto stick a tongue out at her: "Pft, he can try... if you must know brat, a Chuunin will be asked to handle classified information. This is to test your trustworthiness... Anyway, that's it for the explanations. Hand in your scrolls to the booth over there behind me then you will be escorted to a gate, then wait until your escort gives you the go ahead to start. Oh, and last piece of advice, don't die! "
Sasuke is just finishing up his paper work, standing too his feet, he walks with his team over to get their scroll. Sasuke, noticing the draped off area of the booth: 'I see... So you can't tell which team gets which scroll, or who on the team is carrying the scroll. It's just like Ibiki said... In this test, we will risk our lives fighting for information... Everyone is an enemy. Everyone here is determined and people will kill and others will die.' Anko, looking over at Sasuke, looking over his papers once more and smirking: 'Heh, looks like that kid is understanding the meaning of the forms.'
Everyone was positioned in front of the gates, and at the strike of 3:30, the Second Exam had began and all teams darted in. Only moments in and Anko relaxed to the sweet music of anguished screams. The screams were also heard by Team 7, who decided not too stop less they be caught next. About 20 minutes later however, Naruto asked if everyone could stop, to which they questionably agreed. Naruto rubbing the back of his head: "Umm, sorry to stop an everything, but I really need to take a piss..." Sakura: "Ew, gross, well, we have been running for a while, just go behind a tree or something..." Sasuke: "This might even be a good time to camp, Naruto, send some clones to check the perimeter out and watch your back since neither of us want too I'm sure, Sakura and I will set up some traps and the campsite." Naruto making 10 clones nodded before they darted off and he went behind a tree.
A few minutes later a Ame-nin was sent skidding from the bushes holding his gut. Ame-nin?1: "You bastard! How did you get out like that!" Naruto, throwing a tied up Shadow Clone in front of him: "I didn't. You jackass! Who do you think you are trying to take down a guy while he's taking a piss!?" The clone poofed away. "You my friend just fell for my Kage Kawarimi." Ame-nin?1 turned to see A cross-armed Sasuke and Sakura: "This makes no difference, I'll just have to take that scroll by force!" Naruto and Sasuke pulled out a small scroll each from their kunai pouches, laid them out on the ground and slammed their hands into them. Naruto's gauntlets popped on and Sasuke held each end of his kunai chain and Sakura cracked her knuckles, the Rain Genin started shaking as he began questioning his resolve, however, before he knew it he had to duck a swipe from Naruto and jump back from another only for Sakura to trip him causing him to back flip into the air. He decided he would have to tacitly retreat, but then he was wrapped in chain and pulled tight to a branch and his Shoulders were pierced to the tree.
Ame-nin?1, struggling to get out: "What the hell!? Let me go you bastards!" Sasuke, glaring into the foreigner's eyes with his Sharingan, ceasing his movement: "I wouldn't do that if I were you. You are just getting more of the numbing agent that this is soaked in into your own system..." He smirked as he deactivated his sharingan. "Now then, hand over your scroll, or die, simple choice I would guess, wouldn't you..?" Ame-nin?1: "Hah, what kind of moron do you take me for!?" Sakura, hoping over: "One that's dumb enough to try ambushing us alone." Ame-nin?1, with a growing tick mark: "But not stupid enough to have the scroll on me!" Sasuke, once done patting him down: "He seems to be telling the truth... Naruto, chop him down." Naruto: "What? Why!?" Sasuke: "We will keep him tied up, his upper body should be numbed by now, especially his arms, but his legs should still be able to carry him. He wont be able to run though, not with that on his back." Naruto: "In other words, he's going to just slow us down and eat our rations. He'll be a burden!" Sasuke: "He'll be leverage, now trust me and come on already."
Naruto regretfully nodded and charged through the branch above and below the boy from rain, causing him to fall a ways and land hard, the loge it the ground and the boy was on the log. Ouch. Ame-nin?1, groggy and thankful he couldn't feel the entire impact: "Augh, you bastard brats... * Coughs * My team will get me!" Sasuke: "I am Sasuke Uchiha of Team 7 and these are my teammates, Sakura Haruno, and Naruto Uzumaki. Now, What is your name." Ame-nin?1: "What's it to ya'!?" Sakura and Naruto were also quite curious to the quandaries of their comrade. Sasuke: "Well, if we have to deal with each other for the remainder of our test, it would be easier to call you your name than indecencies over and over. I told you our names, what, is, your, name." Ame-nin?1: … "I am Oboro of Amegakure, and that, is all you need to know, not that it matters, you are all going to die anyway you leaf bastards...!?" Naruto kicked the log over, making it roll on top of Oboro. Sasuke: "Now, I suggest you use your legs to get your face up and out of the dirt, thanks to you, our location has to have been compromised. We have to move." NaruSaku: "UGH..." Oboro, on his knees carrying the log on his back: "Bastards..." He was cut off when Sakura pushed the log back on top of him. "****!"
|The next morning|
All awoke and stretched out their tired bodies, well, except Oboro who temporarily forgot about his situation, until an unsuccessful attempt to stretch out reminded him, much to his displeasure. A clone who was sitting at the campfire chuckled as he poofed away.
Sakura, looking over at a disgruntled Oboro: "Wow, congratulations Naruto, your clone actually managed to hold up the fort pretty well." Naruto: "Ha, you sound a little to surprised." Sakura: "Well, it is an exact clone of you,except can't take a hit." Naruto, a little offended : "Hey!" Sasuke walked up next to Naruto and grabbed is cocked fist while Sakura was sticking her tongue at the blonde antagonizing him.
Oboro walked up in front of Naruto and glared in irritants: "I lost to you people..?" Naruto was about input his rebuttal, but his attention was split when a flock of birds flew overhead, followed by a the campfire being blown out and a breeze hitting his face. Naruto pushed Sakura and Sasuke aside and just as a huge gust of wind was hitting him, he grabbed Oboro and forced them around 180 degrees as they flew through the forest.
Sasuke took position in the bush he landed in, determined to hide until he could better get the drop on their attacker, he could only hope his team was okay.
Sakura, sneaking up behind him: "Sasuke, what just happened and where is Naruto-kun!?" Sasuke, putting a kunai to Sakura's throat: "Who are you and where is Sakura!?" Sakura, shocked to say the least: "Sasuke, what are you talking about..!?" Sasuke: "The real Sakura would never call anyone but me -kun, Naruto would especially be the last person she would ever address by such! And no way could the real Sakura sneak up on me like that!" Sakura, thought about that for a moment, did she really just call him that, and not address Sasuke with it... now that she thought about it, in her own mind she has been slowly calling the former -kun more often than the latter lately... but hey, wait a sec, what kind of Konoichi does he take her for!? Sakura, Punching Sasuke's head into the ground: "WHAT KIND OF KONOICHI DO YOU TAKE ME FOR NARUTO-BAKA!? " She quickly held both hands tight onto her mouth wondering if she just said and did what she thought she did. Sasuke went wide eyed wondering the same thing: "Sakura!? That is you!?" Sakura almost in tears: "YES! And I am so sorry for what I just did! I have no idea what came over me! Please don't tell Naruto-kun! I mean please don't tell Naruto-baka! I mean, why do I care! Oh Kami I'm going insane, I'm going to cry T~T. They both quickly straitened out and jumped back over the bush to their camp to dodge a blow from above, barely. As the dirt cloud cleared, they saw a figure rise from over the bush top.
Kusa-nin?1: "Kukuku, very well maneuvered of you both..." The assailant had been no other than that Kusa freak from before. "But not good enough to out maneuver a simple, A Ranked, area leveling, wind technique..? Your blonde friend saw it coming, but," She continued in a mocking, empathetic tone, "I'm sure you two were just to distracted by your little love triangle to notice the first attack hm..? Well sorry that I just interrupted your little flirting session, but I would focus now if I were you..." Sasuke was about to defend himself, but, Sakura beat him to it, making his jaw drop. Sakura pointed her finger at Sasuke and yelled at the intruder with a huge tick mark: "I was NOT FLIRTING with him!" She froze, 'What's wrong with me!? It has to be something in this forest!'
The Kusa-nin walked right through the bush as she finished speaking, ready to end these childish aberrations of what her true reason behind blindly assaulting said children: "Enough, let me see what you can really do without distractions, young Uchiha...?" She was cut short as her tripping of a wire in the bush told her that she may have been underestimating these kids. This was followed by 4 huge pointed logs that came right to her, causing her to simply jump up and dodge, however, dozens of projectiles came from every which aimed just for that spot, preset. 'Kuku, maybe I should have given them more credit, normally, one cannot dodge in air. Still nothing to worry over however...' The Kusa-nin's tongue shout up to a branch and pulled her up, hanging just above the sharp, metallic barrage. Watching the mass collision of projectiles, she was about to complement their efforts, assuming she would see their shocked, grossed out faces reacting to her use of her tongue, but instead was welcomed by the whole campsite surrounded in smoke and if that wasn't bad enough, from the smoke, an exploding kunai had been thrown, aimed for the rest of the projectiles that were just beginning to stop, minus the final projectiles arriving to the meeting spot, bomb balls, which the kunai had set off, all right under her nose.
|Moments later, hopping through trees|
Sasuke, retreating from the encounter with Sakura: "That should buy us enough time to find Naruto..." He then glared at her with a smirk, "Or should I say Naruto~kun..?" 'It's strange, but maybe she is really finally starting to give up on me, now if the rest of the girls followed suit, I may finally be a happy ninja.' Sakura: "Oh, please, don't be like that Sasuke-kun :'(" Sasuke: 'Damn, well, it would be to weird anyway, I'm to used to that damned suffix now.'
They stopped when they were met by a familiar face, dusting it's otherwise untouched self, off. Kusa-nin?1: "Kukuku, very cleaver of you, I let my defense down for a second and look what happens, I mess up my hair and I probably need new clothes too. Good thing I managed to get by the rest of your little surprises you had laying around, both in hidden in and around the smoke covered area, heh, very well done indeed, but you won't get that close to getting the better of me again, I promise you that..." Sasuke and Sakura armed up, seeing that they may have to actually engage this freak head on. The Kusa-nin pulled out her scroll. "You want my earth scroll right..? It would go nicely with your heaven scroll wouldn't it? Now it would just be a shame if you just try to run away like that again and leave this here, so lonely the poor thing." Sasuke clenching the kunai in hand tighter: 'Damn, he's right, we need that scroll, it doesn't seem we have a choice. If only I had my chain right now, I hope Naruto's okay too of course.' "But of course you would like to have ours to now wouldn't you..?" Kusa-nin?1, surprising the leaf Genin: "Sure that would be nice, but I could care less for it. One way or another, I will test your skills Uchiha. Now, if we are done playing, I suggest you don't disappoint me, for if you do, I will kill you. But not after I kill her in front of you. Yes, I can smell the fear radiating off you, you shall be devoured like the prey you are, and your blonde friend was kukuku..."
Sakura: !? "What happened to Naruto-kun!?" Kusa-nin?1: "I would be more worried about what is going to happen to you, now then," The Kusa-nin further petrified them as she wrapped her tongue around her earth scroll and deep throated it, swallowing it whole, "Let's begin the battle for each others scrolls, with our lives on the line!" The Kusa-nin glared up at the two of them, his glare piercing their souls, their minds were filled with visions of their immanent, gruesome, deaths. Sasuke first labeled Genjutsu as the cause, but no, he understood. It was this woman's pure KI (Killing Intent).
Sasuke was Shaking, he just couldn't get a grip, he looked over to Sakura who he hoped was in better condition, but, at least he wasn't shedding tears and relieving himself over the ground below... though, her eyes were closed and she was clenching her fists, trying to get a grip, but to even less avail than Sasuke himself. Sakura: "S-Sasuke... Naruto-kun, I, I'm s-so-sorry..." Sasuke: "Sakura!?" 'Damn, this is bad, we, we Have to run!' Kusa-nin?1: "Heheh, you can no longer even move... Bad news... I'm getting bored..." She had two kunai at the ready to through right into their four heads. They were going to die here.
Sasuke's sharingan flared, forcing himself to move, even if just a bit, just enough. The kunai stuck in the tree behind where the two once were. Kusa-nin?1: "Interesting, he used his Kunai to stab his own leg. To injure his own body to erase the feeling of fear with pain... Kuku, just as I thought, he is no ordinary prey...
|Up and away on a branch|
Sasuke and Sakura are trying to regain themselves from the traumatic experience they had just endured. Sasuke is franticly looking around, making sure the freak doesn't get the drop on them again. Sakura finally calms down enough to speak.
Sakura, re-focusing on her current area and situation, looks to Sasuke, looking for any answer he could offer: "Sasuke! What just happ-" She was cut off by a hand slamming her mouth shut. Sasuke, letting loose some sweat: 'Damn, we have to run before he finds us again, but how, he caught up so fast last time!' Sakura, a little caught off guard, not even giving her close contact to her so called flame a second guess: 'I have never seen Sasuke so panicked, that is not a good sign, at all... !' Sakura was struggling to shake Sasuke's hand off her mouth to warn him of an incoming threat, but he was so zoned out, he paid her no head, so she just grabbed his whole arm and rolled them off the branch where a giant snake had just landed, fangs first.
Sasuke, noticing the situation: 'Dammit! I was panicking so much I didn't notice the damned snake!' Said snake dove again for the two, causing them to split up, the snake however, decided to chase after the air born Sasuke. In the snakes eyes, Sasuke was reminded of the Grass Konoichi again. "Get away from me you freak! * Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu! *" He launched the ball into the Giant serpent's maw and down his throat, sufficiently blowing up the the things head into an engulfing flame. The burning Carcass landed on a branch, and the leaf Genin watched as a familiar shape rose from the beasts flesh.
Kusa-nin?1: "You should not relax for even a moment. Prey should always be trying their best to run away... In the presence of a predator!" She suddenly swirled up the branch, heading fast to the frozen duo, until her path was blocked by a barrage of projectiles, barely missing her head, nipping off some hair much to her displeasure. Sasuke and Sakura were stunned out of there stupor, traced the source of said projectiles. Sasuke smirked as he quickly caught his chain, being thrown to him courtesy of a blonde friend...
A.N. SO SORRY EVERYONE! I have been SOOOOOOOO Busy lately it's crazy, I'm not going to start throwing out excuses or anything, but I hope your still with me readers ^^" I am already writing the next chapter now, and I will try to really make it a good one to say sorry lol. Alright, well, see you all next time ^^

"But you know, you shouldn't sneak up behind me unless you want to die." Kusa-nin?1: "Oh, do excuse me. I just get a little exited when I see such beautifully red blood. Plus.

Ame-nin?1, struggling to get out: "What the hell!? Let me go you bastards!" Sasuke, glaring into the foreigner's eyes with his Sharingan, ceasing his movement: "I wouldn't do that if I were you. You are just getting more of the numbing agent that this is soaked in into your own system..." He smirked as he deactivated his sharingan. "Now then, hand over your scroll, or die, simple choice I would guess, wouldn't you..?" Ame-nin?1: "Hah, what kind of moron do you take me for!?" Sakura, hoping over: "One that's dumb enough to try ambushing us alone." Ame-nin?1, with a growing tick mark: "But not stupid enough to have the scroll on me!" Sasuke, once done patting him down: "He seems to be telling the truth... Naruto, chop him down." Naruto: "What? Why!?" Sasuke: "We will keep him tied up, his upper body should be numbed by now, especially his arms, but his legs should still be able to carry him. He wont be able to run though, not with that on his back." Naruto: "In other words, he's going to just slow us down and eat our rations. He'll be a burden!" Sasuke: "He'll be leverage, now trust me and come on already."
Naruto regretfully nodded and charged through the branch above and below the boy from rain, causing him to fall a ways and land hard, the loge it the ground and the boy was on the log. Ouch. Ame-nin?1, groggy and thankful he couldn't feel the entire impact: "Augh, you bastard brats... * Coughs * My team will get me!" Sasuke: "I am Sasuke Uchiha of Team 7 and these are my teammates, Sakura Haruno, and Naruto Uzumaki. Now, What is your name." Ame-nin?1: "What's it to ya'!?" Sakura and Naruto were also quite curious to the quandaries of their comrade. Sasuke: "Well, if we have to deal with each other for the remainder of our test, it would be easier to call you your name than indecencies over and over. I told you our names, what, is, your, name." Ame-nin?1: … "I am Oboro of Amegakure, and that, is all you need to know, not that it matters, you are all going to die anyway you leaf bastards...!?" Naruto kicked the log over, making it roll on top of Oboro. Sasuke: "Now, I suggest you use your legs to get your face up and out of the dirt, thanks to you, our location has to have been compromised. We have to move." NaruSaku: "UGH..." Oboro, on his knees carrying the log on his back: "Bastards..." He was cut off when Sakura pushed the log back on top of him. "****!"
|The next morning|
All awoke and stretched out their tired bodies, well, except Oboro who temporarily forgot about his situation, until an unsuccessful attempt to stretch out reminded him, much to his displeasure. A clone who was sitting at the campfire chuckled as he poofed away.
Sakura, looking over at a disgruntled Oboro: "Wow, congratulations Naruto, your clone actually managed to hold up the fort pretty well." Naruto: "Ha, you sound a little to surprised." Sakura: "Well, it is an exact clone of you,except can't take a hit." Naruto, a little offended : "Hey!" Sasuke walked up next to Naruto and grabbed is cocked fist while Sakura was sticking her tongue at the blonde antagonizing him.
Oboro walked up in front of Naruto and glared in irritants: "I lost to you people..?" Naruto was about input his rebuttal, but his attention was split when a flock of birds flew overhead, followed by a the campfire being blown out and a breeze hitting his face. Naruto pushed Sakura and Sasuke aside and just as a huge gust of wind was hitting him, he grabbed Oboro and forced them around 180 degrees as they flew through the forest.
Sasuke took position in the bush he landed in, determined to hide until he could better get the drop on their attacker, he could only hope his team was okay.
Sakura, sneaking up behind him: "Sasuke, what just happened and where is Naruto-kun!?" Sasuke, putting a kunai to Sakura's throat: "Who are you and where is Sakura!?" Sakura, shocked to say the least: "Sasuke, what are you talking about..!?" Sasuke: "The real Sakura would never call anyone but me -kun, Naruto would especially be the last person she would ever address by such! And no way could the real Sakura sneak up on me like that!" Sakura, thought about that for a moment, did she really just call him that, and not address Sasuke with it... now that she thought about it, in her own mind she has been slowly calling the former -kun more often than the latter lately... but hey, wait a sec, what kind of Konoichi does he take her for!? Sakura, Punching Sasuke's head into the ground: "WHAT KIND OF KONOICHI DO YOU TAKE ME FOR NARUTO-BAKA!? " She quickly held both hands tight onto her mouth wondering if she just said and did what she thought she did. Sasuke went wide eyed wondering the same thing: "Sakura!? That is you!?" Sakura almost in tears: "YES! And I am so sorry for what I just did! I have no idea what came over me! Please don't tell Naruto-kun! I mean please don't tell Naruto-baka! I mean, why do I care! Oh Kami I'm going insane, I'm going to cry T~T. They both quickly straitened out and jumped back over the bush to their camp to dodge a blow from above, barely. As the dirt cloud cleared, they saw a figure rise from over the bush top.
Kusa-nin?1: "Kukuku, very well maneuvered of you both..." The assailant had been no other than that Kusa freak from before. "But not good enough to out maneuver a simple, A Ranked, area leveling, wind technique..? Your blonde friend saw it coming, but," She continued in a mocking, empathetic tone, "I'm sure you two were just to distracted by your little love triangle to notice the first attack hm..? Well sorry that I just interrupted your little flirting session, but I would focus now if I were you..." Sasuke was about to defend himself, but, Sakura beat him to it, making his jaw drop. Sakura pointed her finger at Sasuke and yelled at the intruder with a huge tick mark: "I was NOT FLIRTING with him!" She froze, 'What's wrong with me!? It has to be something in this forest!'
The Kusa-nin walked right through the bush as she finished speaking, ready to end these childish aberrations of what her true reason behind blindly assaulting said children: "Enough, let me see what you can really do without distractions, young Uchiha...?" She was cut short as her tripping of a wire in the bush told her that she may have been underestimating these kids. This was followed by 4 huge pointed logs that came right to her, causing her to simply jump up and dodge, however, dozens of projectiles came from every which aimed just for that spot, preset. 'Kuku, maybe I should have given them more credit, normally, one cannot dodge in air. Still nothing to worry over however...' The Kusa-nin's tongue shout up to a branch and pulled her up, hanging just above the sharp, metallic barrage. Watching the mass collision of projectiles, she was about to complement their efforts, assuming she would see their shocked, grossed out faces reacting to her use of her tongue, but instead was welcomed by the whole campsite surrounded in smoke and if that wasn't bad enough, from the smoke, an exploding kunai had been thrown, aimed for the rest of the projectiles that were just beginning to stop, minus the final projectiles arriving to the meeting spot, bomb balls, which the kunai had set off, all right under her nose.
|Moments later, hopping through trees|
Sasuke, retreating from the encounter with Sakura: "That should buy us enough time to find Naruto..." He then glared at her with a smirk, "Or should I say Naruto~kun..?" 'It's strange, but maybe she is really finally starting to give up on me, now if the rest of the girls followed suit, I may finally be a happy ninja.' Sakura: "Oh, please, don't be like that Sasuke-kun :'(" Sasuke: 'Damn, well, it would be to weird anyway, I'm to used to that damned suffix now.'
They stopped when they were met by a familiar face, dusting it's otherwise untouched self, off. Kusa-nin?1: "Kukuku, very cleaver of you, I let my defense down for a second and look what happens, I mess up my hair and I probably need new clothes too. Good thing I managed to get by the rest of your little surprises you had laying around, both in hidden in and around the smoke covered area, heh, very well done indeed, but you won't get that close to getting the better of me again, I promise you that..." Sasuke and Sakura armed up, seeing that they may have to actually engage this freak head on. The Kusa-nin pulled out her scroll. "You want my earth scroll right..? It would go nicely with your heaven scroll wouldn't it? Now it would just be a shame if you just try to run away like that again and leave this here, so lonely the poor thing." Sasuke clenching the kunai in hand tighter: 'Damn, he's right, we need that scroll, it doesn't seem we have a choice. If only I had my chain right now, I hope Naruto's okay too of course.' "But of course you would like to have ours to now wouldn't you..?" Kusa-nin?1, surprising the leaf Genin: "Sure that would be nice, but I could care less for it. One way or another, I will test your skills Uchiha. Now, if we are done playing, I suggest you don't disappoint me, for if you do, I will kill you. But not after I kill her in front of you. Yes, I can smell the fear radiating off you, you shall be devoured like the prey you are, and your blonde friend was kukuku..."
Sakura: !? "What happened to Naruto-kun!?" Kusa-nin?1: "I would be more worried about what is going to happen to you, now then," The Kusa-nin further petrified them as she wrapped her tongue around her earth scroll and deep throated it, swallowing it whole, "Let's begin the battle for each others scrolls, with our lives on the line!" The Kusa-nin glared up at the two of them, his glare piercing their souls, their minds were filled with visions of their immanent, gruesome, deaths. Sasuke first labeled Genjutsu as the cause, but no, he understood. It was this woman's pure KI (Killing Intent).
Sasuke was Shaking, he just couldn't get a grip, he looked over to Sakura who he hoped was in better condition, but, at least he wasn't shedding tears and relieving himself over the ground below... though, her eyes were closed and she was clenching her fists, trying to get a grip, but to even less avail than Sasuke himself. Sakura: "S-Sasuke... Naruto-kun, I, I'm s-so-sorry..." Sasuke: "Sakura!?" 'Damn, this is bad, we, we Have to run!' Kusa-nin?1: "Heheh, you can no longer even move... Bad news... I'm getting bored..." She had two kunai at the ready to through right into their four heads. They were going to die here.
Sasuke's sharingan flared, forcing himself to move, even if just a bit, just enough. The kunai stuck in the tree behind where the two once were. Kusa-nin?1: "Interesting, he used his Kunai to stab his own leg. To injure his own body to erase the feeling of fear with pain... Kuku, just as I thought, he is no ordinary prey...
|Up and away on a branch|
Sasuke and Sakura are trying to regain themselves from the traumatic experience they had just endured. Sasuke is franticly looking around, making sure the freak doesn't get the drop on them again. Sakura finally calms down enough to speak.
Sakura, re-focusing on her current area and situation, looks to Sasuke, looking for any answer he could offer: "Sasuke! What just happ-" She was cut off by a hand slamming her mouth shut. Sasuke, letting loose some sweat: 'Damn, we have to run before he finds us again, but how, he caught up so fast last time!' Sakura, a little caught off guard, not even giving her close contact to her so called flame a second guess: 'I have never seen Sasuke so panicked, that is not a good sign, at all... !' Sakura was struggling to shake Sasuke's hand off her mouth to warn him of an incoming threat, but he was so zoned out, he paid her no head, so she just grabbed his whole arm and rolled them off the branch where a giant snake had just landed, fangs first.
Sasuke, noticing the situation: 'Dammit! I was panicking so much I didn't notice the damned snake!' Said snake dove again for the two, causing them to split up, the snake however, decided to chase after the air born Sasuke. In the snakes eyes, Sasuke was reminded of the Grass Konoichi again. "Get away from me you freak! * Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu! *" He launched the ball into the Giant serpent's maw and down his throat, sufficiently blowing up the the things head into an engulfing flame. The burning Carcass landed on a branch, and the leaf Genin watched as a familiar shape rose from the beasts flesh.
Kusa-nin?1: "You should not relax for even a moment. Prey should always be trying their best to run away... In the presence of a predator!" She suddenly swirled up the branch, heading fast to the frozen duo, until her path was blocked by a barrage of projectiles, barely missing her head, nipping off some hair much to her displeasure. Sasuke and Sakura were stunned out of there stupor, traced the source of said projectiles. Sasuke smirked as he quickly caught his chain, being thrown to him courtesy of a blonde friend...
