Half an hour later, everyone was ready to leave except for Kushina and Kimba, who wanted to do a few things before leaving. Even Rasa stayed behind to help while Karura took both teams to the academy. Kakashi finally arrived but gave a dumb excuse for being late, but that was through out of the window when he was still scared by Kushina. Once the group got what they needed, they headed to the academy to get through the written exams. Still, after a few minutes with the groups just left, Tsunade came to Kimba and Kushina's home as if she had just heard about a fire going off. Shizune was by her side holding information about Kaze, and then Tsunade burst through the door, worrying the trio. "Kaze..." Tsunade started, and then she looked around the ground floor. "KAZE!." she yelled, then she came up to Rasa. "Where's Kaze? I need to find him..." she said with a worried tone. "Wha...Why, what's the hurry?." he asked, not wanting to know what Tsunade could do if she didn't get the needed answers. Suddenly, Kimba and Kushina grabbed each arm of Tsunade. "Mom, please calm down..." Kushina said, and then Kimba spoke up. "Tsunade, what's going on? What's the rush?." he asked, wanting to know what she was all worked up about. "Tell me, how did Kaze come into your care in Suna?." Tsunade asked as she slowly calmed down, and Kushina and Kimba slowly let go of her. "One of my weekly patrols found him at our borders...He said he escaped from Orochimaru..." he said, hoping it was the answer she was looking for.
"Orochimaru..." Tsunade said with much venom in her voice, making the others worry. "What does this mean, Tsunade?." Kimba asked, but then Shizune spoke up, "Kaze is Tsunade's son." her words shocked the others about Kaze's identity. "So where is he?." Tsunade asked as she crossed her arms to see where her 'son' was. "He and the others just left a few minutes ago for the Chunin Exams," Rasa said. As Tsunade was about to leave to find him, Kushina grabbed her Mother's shoulder. "Mom...What are you going to do?.?" she asked, wanting to know her Mother's plans, "I'm going to tell Kaze who and what he is...Then it's his choice what to do." she said as she and Shizune left to heave for the academy then Rasa, Kimba, and Kushina followed behind wanting to see how the Chunin Exams go and see what Tsunade would do, at the academy, everyone was board out of their minds from Lord Fourth's speech then once it was done the written exams could now start up and within a few seconds there has been already a few students who have been caught and escorted out while the rest do their best to try and not get caught. Still, after an hour of the test, many passed, while a good hand failed the first test. Half an hour before the written exams finished, Tsunade, Shizune, Rasa, Kimba, and Kushina arrived in the viewing room to see how everyone was doing. Tsunade stood next to Karura. "Karura, what seat is Kaze sitting in?" she asked as she scanned the room for him. Then Karura pointed to the second last row in front of them. "Well, he's right there; he's doing well, not getting caught," she said as Tsunade crossed her arms and watched over Kaze.
The students who had passed the written exams followed Anko towards one of many entrances of the Forest of Death, but once there, an ANBU known as Bear appeared. He whispered something in Anko's ear. She nodded in agreement, and Bear disappeared. Anko looked at everyone once more. "Alright, brats, listen up." she started, then began to explain how the Forest of Death trail works. About the scrolls, a team needs two scrolls, an Earth and Heaven scroll, and they must reach the centre of the forest within five days from now. Still, if they open their scroll too early, they are out; if they are found injured, they are also out. Still, if they are found dead, they will be sent back to their families. "Does everybody have that? I ain't repeating myself," she said as everyone's heads nodded rapidly. "Good, now get your butts to the other entrance points...." she started as she inhaled, then out hale. "NOW!." she yelled as everyone bolted to their assigned gates. Still, she halted Team Karura and Team 7, "You lot are staying at this gate, and someone is coming to talk to one of you." Anko said as she walked off to the forest's centre and left both teams where they were, "What do you think is going to happen?" Sakura said as some looked worried, hoping none wouldn't be kicked out. Some just shrugged at Sakura's question while waiting to see what was happening. Soon enough, Tsunade arrived with Shizune, but the group seemed to be a little scared of Tsunade's stern look on her face. Then she stopped in front of the group, her arms crossed. "Kaze, step forward, please," she asked. Then he does so, and without a doubt, just looking at Kaze, Tsunade sees the spitting image of herself within, even wearing the same clothes she used to wear when Tsunade was his age, and tears start to stream down her face. "Lady Tsunade...Are you alright?." Temari asked, but Tsunade shook her head. "No...I'm looking at my 'Son'..." she said, shocking everyone, but mostly, Kaze was appalled as he struggled to find the words to answer.
