Naruto walked back to the other genin as Anko spun around and grinned at them. "Welcome one and all to the second stage of the Chunin Exams, training area forty-four. Or as I like to call the Forest of Death."
"Ah! My home away from home." Naruto said with a smile, making many of the genin who head him turn and look at him with an incredulous expression.
Anko snickered a bit, "You gakis are looking are looking at one of my favorite training grounds, The Forest of Death, you'll find out why it's called that soon enough."
"Ha! You can't scare us lady!" Kiba scoffed, trying to hide how nervous he felt staring into the forest in front of him. He had heard stories of this place from his mother, and if she was afraid of it then that meant the place was to be avoided at all costs.
Anko grinned as she threw a kunai at the dog using ninja, slicing his cheek open. Before Kiba could even yelp a hand gripped onto his skull to hold him in place while Anko appeared behind him and licked the Genin's blood from his cut.
"You know, its tough guys like you that spill that delicious blood I love so much all over the forest's ground," Anko grinned as she continued licking the petrified Genin's cheek.
"Naruto-kun no offense, but your friend really scares me," Tenten whispered into the blonds ear.
Naruto just chuckled, "Yeah she tends to scare people the first time they meet, but she's not bad once you get to know her. However, you really need to ask yourself this, is she creepier than the Lee and Gai-sensei's sunset genjutsu of youth?"
An involuntary shudder ran down Tenten's spine, "…I don't think anyone can match that level of creepy." She had, had more than enough of that genjutsu to last for several dozen lifetimes over.
Anko grinned in amusement as she watched Kiba look shocked, embarrassed, turned on and scared shitless all at the same time; kami how she loved messing with these genin. She stopped her blood sucking when she felt a presence behind her and drew another kunai, turning to see a strange woman with a straw hat and an overly long tongue with her kunai being held in said tongue.
"Here's your kunai proctor-san," the woman spoke in an eerie yet perfectly understandable voice, despite having her tongue sticking out.
"Why thank you," Anko smiled as she took the kunai and put it away in her pouch. "But next time I would recommend not sneaking up on me like that, unless of course you have a death wish."
"I apologize, I just get excited at the sight of blood, and your kunai cut my precious hair so I couldn't help myself," the Kusagakure (Hidden Grass Village) kunoichi licked her lips.
"Well it looks like we've got a bloodthirsty bunch this year," Anko said, turning her attention to Naruto who was still speaking with Tenten. "Oi! Gaki, get over here and help me pass out these papers!" Anko reached into her trench coat and pulled out a stack of papers from…somewhere, where exactly somewhere was, was a question up for debate considering she had no pockets on her persons or her…clothes.
"Whatever," Naruto said as he made several Kage Bunshin to help Anko pass out the papers. "You just don't want to do it cuz you're so damn lazy!"
"Oh! Perhaps we need to play some more tag, that way I could show you how lazy I am." Anko gave Naruto a sweet smile.
Naruto paled, "Um…no thanks, I take back what I said."
"Good!" Anko gave one of the clones the stack of papers. Said clone gave several sheets to the other clones and then they began to pass out the papers.
"Before we begin the second exam I need you all to sign these forms. There'll be deaths in these exams and if you don't sign them I'll be the one they hold responsible, suffice to say I don't want to have to deal with the paperwork when your village bitches and complains to me about your death. But before we get started on the blood bath that I hope will come, I'm going to explain the second exam to you. After that your team will check into the booth behind me."
"You will be attempting to live through what will be considered the ultimate survival test. Each team will go through one of the forty-four gates and head towards the center of the forest where you will find a tower. However, before you get to the tower you have an objective you must complete. You are to use whatever means you deem necessary to obtain one of two scrolls, a heaven or an earth scroll. Half of you will get one, while the other half will get the other."
"So we not only have to go through this forest, but we also have to get our hands on the opposing scroll and take them to the tower with both intact?" Sasuke asked.
"Yep! That's pretty much what it comes down to," Anko said with grin. "However there is also a time limit. You only have five days to retrieve a scroll and get to the tower."
"Five days!" Ino shrieked.
"But what about food!" whined Chouji.
"There's plenty to eat in the forest, either that or you can kill an enemy and eat them," Anko's grin turned bloodthirsty, causing many genin to shudder. "Now there are two ways you can fail this test. One is if you don't show up at the tower within five days with both scrolls or don't show up at all. And two is if one of your teammates dies in the middle of the exam. Also, I shouldn't need to say this but you cannot look inside the scroll until you reach the tower."
"You know, the way you tell me not to do something really just makes me want to do it, you know, so I can spite you," Naruto spoke up, grinning at the purple-haired proctor....
