A/N: Thank you everyone for being so patient! I've been dealing with some writers' block trying to figure out how the next part of the exam is going to go and what to do with Sasuke, but I've got it mostly figured out so hopefully, I'll be able to update more often and not have y'all wait so long. Hope you enjoy this chapter after so long of a wait. -XOXO ^~^/
"This is the location for the second phase of the exam." Anko explains, "It's the 44th battle training zone. But we call it, the Forest of Death."
The wind whistles as it blows and I faintly hear Naruto echo her. I glance over at him and see a square rock inching towards him, then start following him. I trail him with my eyes as they run back and forth gaining speed. He yells at the box, getting a muffled response before it explodes revealing Konohamaru and two others. Moegi and Udon.
"A newspaper? I don't remember having a newspaper when we went to the academy?" Ichigo blinks. Taro and I shrug. Anko proceeds to announce a ten-minute break. The three of us find a shaded tree and plop down.
"'Forest of Death', huh?" Ichigo mutters.
"Yeah," Taro nods, "Sounds spooky."
I lightly smirk and giggle, "We'll be fine."
They snort. "With you around? Definitely."
"Well, that doesn't mean we shouldn't be careful. Especially with everything going on, we must stay alert, understand?" They nod. We sit in silence until Anko gathers everyone's attention and we stand and walk closer.
"So," Anko smiles, "looks like we got ourselves a tough guy." I twitch as she pulls a Kunai, swiftly throwing it and cutting Naruto on the cheek. I breathe in slowly, my smile a little more forced than usual, Taro and Ichiro glance at me, then each other, then seem to come to a silent agreement not to say anything before looking back at Anko. I notice she also manages to cut a single strand of hair on a grass nin. Red dot. Another deep breath.
Anko disappears and reappears behind Naruto, moving so fast it looks as if she teleported, leaving nothing but dust at her feet. "You tough enough to handle this? You're not afraid are you?" She taunts. "Tough guys like you usually leave their blood all over this forest." She continues, before freezing and swinging a Kunai behind her at the approaching grass nin, who holds her previous Kunai with an outrageously long tongue.
Everything muffles as I use Observe on the grass nin, I hear their words but it doesn't process in my brain. I stop breathing as I read the information displayed in front of me. I'm vaguely aware of Taro and Ichiro trying to get my attention, Taro putting a hand on my shoulder.
