Strangely enough, after your death-to which you have forgotten-you were transported spiritually to the world of Naruto.
You are given options, and with your memory of this favorable anime.. you choose out of excitement.
How will this journey turn...
Ito heard some leaves rustling unnaturally and kept his eyes close and faked sleep until the person got closer. He felt a hand and he instantly grabbed them by the wrist. Hearing a small gasp in the process. Ito saw that the hand belonged to someone that he instantly recognized.

There he saw the red hair girl, who was clearly frightened. Ito stared closely at her wrist, he was about to speak but two other figures revealed themselves and threw shuriken knives in the process.
Ito quickly let go of her and had his hand out and created some wood that was enough to block the attack. The weight of the wood nearly brought him upside down the tree branch he was tied to. Once he took the wood off, he used the sharpness of the spare kunai he had left to cut off the rope.
Ito jumped down the tree and got ready for battle. He was not his usual self, in fact he felt genuine anger. Had he not encountered the Uzumaki girl, then surely he would've not remembered her existence and they would've been disregarded and left alone.
" What scroll do you have?" Ito asked, looking around the area while having a hand near the handle of his katana.
" Hand over yours and we'll consider letting you live!" A voice echoed within the trees.
[•••]
At the tower, Naruto and the others were being congratulated by Iruka. The former teacher expected the blonde hair boy to be hyper but surprisingly he was quiet.
" Hey no need to feel down, you made it right on time, unexpectedly early at that. I am proud of you all." Iruka included the others.
Naruto didn't seemed moved, rather he felt more guilty. Iruka sweat a bit from the reaction.
' Is it because I said that I couldn't buy him ramen? No.. only Ito would react that way, but..' Then Iruka realized it.
" Don't worry, I'm sure he's doing fine. Ito wouldn't give up that easily." He reassured his former students.
[•••]
Ito stood there, reaching into his kimono and pulled out the heaven scroll. He had his hands raised up holding the scroll in one hand as if he were submitting to defeat.
" Take off the blade!" Ito then took it off and tossed it to the ground a few feet in front of him. He stared at the blade for a few seconds slightly squinting his eyes that went unnoticed.
The two grass ninja jumped down from their hiding spot, one had their hand out.
" You should be lucky we're sparring you." One of the boys said, walking closer to Ito. Though he stopped walking.
" Hey hurry up! I don't want to stay here longer." His teammate said.
Karin looked at her teammate from afar, wondering why he stopped. She took a few steps back, having a feeling that something bad would happen just from looking into the boy's chakra. Then her teammate turned back around facing them. She was confused since he looked angry, he ran at his comrade full speed and stabbed him.
" STOP!! HEY!" The now injured comrade yelled mixed with pain and fear. Karin slowly looked over to the opponent, his eyes were red.
' W-What...' Karin thought.
Blood splattered into the air, blocking her view. She wondered what made him have such vengeance towards her teammates. Ito was walking towards the now lifeless body and the other who hovered over it with the bloodied kunai in his hand. Karin wanted to run away from fear, but oddly stayed put and watched.
The ninja was put out of genjutsu, and he looked in shocked and fell back on his bottom, throwing up from the site. He had brutally killed his comrade and made him almost unrecognizable. By instinct her teammate called Karin so his other teammate can bite her arm.
" K-KARIN GET OVER HERE HURRY."
" She's not under your filthy rules anymore." The grass ninja froze in fear, he turned around, shaking from where he sat. His eyes were begging for mercy.
" P-Please! Don't-"
With a swift swing, his eyes turned dull, he had been decapitated on the spot. Ito had no mercy. That was the first time that he stained his hands.
Now it fell silent, only the sounds of the breeze along with the rustling leaves could be heard. Ito swung the blade at a low angle to get the dripping blood off though there was visible stains left behind. Ito tainted his mother's blade with blood. He wondered, did his mother shed blood using this katana?
Ito looked at the gruesome site, it could pass off as one of Gaara's kills if not worse. He placed the blade back into it's sheath, and headed toward the bodies. Examining their bags, eventually finding the scroll hidden in one of their back pocket.
Ito finally glanced up and met with red eyes, he felt like a monster for killing her teammates without mercy. Though, she did not look at him like a monster.
Karin POV
I was wondering why I continued to stay put. Something wanted me to stay while the other wanted to run away. Maybe.. I was afraid of being held accountable for the deaths of my teammates. Maybe.. I was worried of what'll happen to me after this exam.
The male before me, had visible spots of blood on his clothes. It was obvious that he had killed people.
Why am I standing foolishly instead of escaping when I had the chance?.
' Maybe because of his chakra...'
Maybe it was because I was used to seeing people dying back at the hospital. I didn't feel so frightened of it after all, it was hard to read but this person had the intent to protect. But it is damn weird!
' Did he want to protect me?'
I was lost deep in my thoughts that he had already stood in front of me. His hand reached out to me and I only stared, and I flinched out of reflex. He retreated his hand and slowly brought it closer. I closed my eyes, expecting my demise.
No POV
Though her demise did not happen. She opened her eye and saw that he took off her headband. Ito walked away from her and tossed it to her former comrades. Karin watched as he performed some hand signs, and saw him bring out large bright flames. Burning her dead comrades along with her Genin headband. She felt her forehead where he headband originally was.
" They will no longer control you, I promise that. You are free." Ito spoke, his back facing Karin.
Seconds later, she felt tears prickling at her eyes. Something she thought that had long been drained.
Ito had both scrolls and could now return to the tower where the rest of his team was. His hand slightly twitched uncontrollably.
A/N: Well, Ito just killed somebody. Two people exactly.
MAN IDK WRITING THIS MADE ME FEEL SAD. KARIN MUST BE PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS.
That's a wrap up for the second test. Until next time. Btw, how was this chapter?
