Chapter 34 - Forest Of DEATH

Anko started explaining "Well, i'm going to start the explanation for the second exam. In a word, the limits of your survival will be challenged" she said as she started to hand out the consent forms. "First i'll give you step-by-step instruction on the terrain of this training field. Training field no.44 is surrounded by 44 locked entrance gates. There are rivers and a forest and also a tower in the middle. It's about 10km from the towers to the gate. In this confined area, you will go through a certain survival program. The contents of which are, anything goes, scroll battle"

She then continued "There are two types of scrolls namely the heaven and earth scroll. There are about 26 teams. 13 teams will get the heaven scroll and the other 13 the earth. Only those teams that have one of both heaven and earth scroll will be allowed to enter the tower. For this second exam the time limit is 120 hours ie five days Its a survival exam, so be self-sufficient. According to the rules, you cannot give up mid-way. I want you to spend your five days in the forest" Anko smiled.

"Moving on, here are the conditions for disqualifications. No.1 if all three members of the team can't make it to the tower with heaven and earth scrolls within the time limit No.2 if a team loses a member or if a member became incapacitated. No.3 absolutely do not look at the contents of the scrolls until you have reached the tower. That is all for the rules, though i do have one more thing to say, 'Don't die!'. Submit your consent forms by the collection stalls and pick your gates. All the gates will open simultaneously at 2:30 pm. That is all." Anko concluded upon which everyone went to fill-up and submit their forms.

At this time, I searched for Orochimaru as I already knew his appearance from the anime and discretely planted a tracking seed on him. I also did the same to the sound team as well, just in case. Soon it was 2:29 pm. Naruto, sakura and me assembled at gate no.12. And exactly a minute later anko announced "we now start the second test of the chuunin exam, upon which all gates simultaneously opened.

meanwhile at gate 15, There were three grass ninjas who saw the gates opening. "Target the rookies first." a fat man said. "They said that from now on, it's okay to kill," a woman lifted her hat and spoke. At the same time the sound ninja team started running in. "look for the brats!" the woman said as the trio suddenly increased their speed.

At gate 12, all three of us entered. We ran towards a secluded spot and I scanned the surroundings to make sure nobody is watching. Then I said. "Its time. I'll release the blood clones. You two hide in my Kamui dinension." Sakura asked worried "What about you Sasuke? What if you get into trouble?" Naruto also chimed in "We will also help. You don't have to do it alone." I smiled and said " Don't worry, I have already planted mt wood seed on Orochimaru. And I can always teleport you back outside if needed. I can also teleport inside the dimension If I am in trouble. It will be easier to escape If I am moving alone." Both of them thought for a moment a d Nodded. Sakura added "Sasuke be careful".

I nodded and released the blood clones and sucked in both Naruto and Sakura and turned towards the blood clones saying "You know what to do." The clones nodded and went ahead. I used transformation to change my appearance and used a chakra supression seal and supressed my chakra and made it non detectable. Then I scanned for the tracking seed I planted on Karin and moved in that direction.

As i kept moving in the direction of Karin, I saw a team of unknown Genins hiding nearby setting traps. I rushed near them and knocked them out. Luckily they had the earth scroll which we needed. I out the scroll in my pocket and continued to move ahead while sensing Orochimaru and the sound team. I smiled sensing Orochimaru who was promptly heading in the directions of our blood clones.

Meanwhile, on a grassland beside the training field, three examiners stood by a graveyard. "There are three corpses" one of them spoke.

"This is some kind of ninja art isn't it?" the other one suggested."This is bad. We have a problem from the get go damn it!" the third examiner commented as he examined the corpses up close. Inform anko, the proctor of the second test." he said after a while. "Yes, sir" the second examiner responded as he disappeared.

Meanwhile at the gates of the 44th training ground, Anko sat peacefully having dumplings while also drinking red bean soup on the side.

"Okay, once i've eaten this,i should break through and go wait at the tower for the kids. With this program, the quick kids should clear it soon."

Anko said as she ate the last dumpling on the stick and threw the stick to a nearby tree. "The leaf village symbol, is complete!" she declared being proud of her artistic skill.

Suddenly a man came running in saying "We have a problem, anko-sama." "Huh? what, so suddenly" anko asked with a lazy voice. "corpses three of them. Moreover, they're strange. Anyway, please come!" the second examiner begged anko. "strange?" anko thought. The duo then left to check the corpses.
