Aki, Fuyu, Haru, Natsu | Sasuke Uchiha ♥ Story |

Fuyu 07.

Fuyu 07.

“Alright! All of you listen up because I’m only going to explain this once!” Anko commanded, striking fear and awareness into the potential Chunin that crowded before her. 

“You've all be lucky enough to continue to the second part of this exam, but I can almost guarantee that more than half of you will no longer be lucky.” she paused “From here on out, anything goes. Go out there with the intention to kill anyone that comes at you, after you, and possibly even with you.”

“Have the intention to kill those that are with us?” Fuyu asked herself aloud. Why would we have any reason to ever do that? 

“Psst. Fuyu.” Ritsu called from the other side of Soma. “Don't worry about it, you can trust us the whole way.” he reassured, sending a wide grin her way. 

She forced a returning smile to grace her features, despite the knotting feeling in the pit of her stomach winding up more and more as the time passed by. She would do anything in the world to be able to see any prediction of what might happen during the second phase of the exams. To see if any of her teammates -her companions- will make it though. To see if she would make it through, aliveat the very least. 

But the words that just so happened to slip out Anko's mouth further crushed any trace of comfort she gained from Ritsu's words. 

“Everyone that lives through this phase must participate in the third one. In other words, those of you who were planning on not proceeding to the final phase, will have to die to get out of this exam.”

The eyes of each Genin widened slightly, the sudden addition to the already overbearing pressure registering in their sleep deprived minds. 

With his usual stoic expression, Sasuke looked around him at the diverse faces that surrounded him. After a few moments, his eyes eventually landed onto the worried expression that failed to be hidden by his close female friend. 

Fuyu. He chuckled to himself mentally. You should at least have some confidence in your teammates at the least. 

“Hey! Sasuke-teme!” Naruto called, dragging Sasuke's attention away from the brown headed girl over to the hyperactive blonde. “Don't do anything that will make me have to kill you.” he warned. 

“Shut up, dobe.” he sighed in response. 

A lone 'humph' emitted from the throat of the blonde, as the group of three returned their attention back to the purple headed Jonin. 

“Each team will receive one scroll. That team will be the only ones who will know what type of scroll they received.” Anko began, retrieving two scrolls from a Chunin. “There are 14 lightning scrolls and 14 earth. In order to advance to the next level, each team has to has to attempt getting the scroll that they're not in possession of. In other words, only 14 teams will continue onto phase 3...idealistically. 14 if all of you happen to survive.” she paused “Each team prepare to get your own scroll!” she commanded pointing over at a small table that was covered by a thick orange blanket. “Your team is disqualified if one person dies, or if one of you block heads decide to open up the scroll.” 

“After you and your team receives your scroll choose any one of these gates to enter through. The second phase will start in thirty minutes!”

Fuyu's brown eyes immediately shot over to a group of three that had slowly been inching closer and closer to Team Nagare. After a few moments of studying the three figures, one with a large composite bow that was almost as tall as the young genin and the one carrying it with a quiver hanging slanted on their back, the other with a large Kantana that seemed to way more than he did but nonetheless fit the personality that shown from his facial expressions, then the other, much smaller, teammate having a small Tanto that still posed a threat to Fuyu.
