My Damned Life || A Naruto Fanfic [COMING SOON]

6~ Now, the Forest of Death!

"Now before we being this test i have something to hand out to you all. It's just a standard consent form. Before this test all of you are going to have to read over this form and then sign it."

"What for?" The blond kid asked. And Rielri made a mental note to learn the kid's name. Goal number 2, right after getting out of this second phase alive.

"Some of you may not come back from this test, and i have to get your consent to that risk. Othersise it would be my responsibility." Anko Sensei laughed.

"Ooo, scary." Mando says, taking a bite of his apple.

"Where did you-" 

"Shh, i'm trying to pay attention." Mando cut me off, shoving his left pointer finger against my lips as he took another bite of his apple.

"Now, I'll explain what you'll be doing on this test. The first thing you need to know is that this test will tax every one of your survival skills."

"Called it." Kando says, putting an arm around his brother with a sattisfied smirk on his face. Mando pushes his arm off before he gets handed the stack of consent forms.

"You'll be fighting to get both a heaven scroll and an earth scroll. All together 28 teams will be taking part in this test. I'll hand out one scroll to each team."

"Alright, then how do we pass the test?" The Uchiha asked.

"Your entire squad must bring the heaven and Earth scroll to the tower. Oh, and one more thing. The test has a time limit, your team must complete the challange in 5 days." Anko Sensei put the scrolls she was holding into her jacket pocket.

Mando dramatically sighed as Kando pat his back as if to say 'you got this'. I sent a wary smile to the both of them, kind of scared of what was to come.

"Just look around the forest is full of things to eat, there's plenty to feed all of you."

"Yeah but that's not the only thing the forest has plenty of. There are man eating beasts and poisonous plants in there." A guy with gray hair and round black glasses says to Anko-sensei.

"This test also measures indurance behind enemy lines. This is designed to be a grueling test, and i'm sure some of you won't be up to the challenge." Anko Sensei sends a smirk in our direction.

"You don't think she means us, right?" Mando asks, fearfully glancing at me.

"I'm-" 

"She's only joking." Kando cuts me off as he puts his arm on top of my head. " Ain't that right armrest?"

I Hmph and turn my head to face the other direction.

"So um, let's say mid-exam, can we quit?" Asks  someone from the group.

"Of course not, in the middle of a battle you can't say 'sorry, i quit'. Well i guess you could but it's probably going to get you killed." she smiles, in what i could only describe as in a weird way.

Kando starts laughing, and trying to use his hand on the arm that wasn't on my head to cover his mouth and hide it. "Hey, didn't that question sound like something Mando would ask?"

"Does not." Mando pushes Kando's arm off my head and replaces it with his own, standing on the balls of his feet to become taller. " I never quit."

"Yeah right, you can't even clean your room without storming out and saying how hard it is." Kando replies, and lifts his eyebrows up at mando in a teasing way.

"Hey hey, stop fighting right before an exam." I cut in, not wanting their teasing to turn into anything bigger. I pushed Mando's arm off, earning a pout from him. "Besides, i'm pretty sure the person that asked that question had a perfectly good reason why."

"Of course you would say that. It was your boyfriend that asked the question afterall." Kando points at the boy who asked the question, who just happened to be Shikamaru, the pineapple.

"Oh-" I cute myself off, before i grab a strand of my hair and straighten it out with my fingers. " I did not know that"

"Wowly woah, you aren't denying he's your boyfriend." Mando says, looking at my wide eyed.

"He's not my boyfriend." I say, as i balance from one foot to the other to try and avoid the awkwardness.

"So he's your boyfriend." Kando asks in a teasing way as he raises his eyebrows and smirks.

"No he's_"

"Rielri's got a boyfriend." Mando says in a sing song way as he tilts his head at me. " Rielri's got a boyfriend.

" He-"

"Ther's no use in denying it Ri, you have a boyfriend." Kando says. "And i think we should go and see what he thinks about this. Don't you think brother?"

Mando nods at him. "Why of course brother. Lets go."

Kando and Mando turn to walk over to Shikamaru's direction. I quickly grab their arms and yank them towards me.

"You idiots what do you think you're doing right before an exam trying to go over and interogate a perfectly innocent person." I scold them.

"He isn't innocent. He's your boyfriend." Mando says matter of factly with a large nod.

"For the millionth time, he is not my boyfriend!" I say, maybe a little too loudly as many people's heads turn in our direction, including the person of question and his teammates. I smile shyly as i swiftly apologise and turn back to Anko sensei with my head down as she tilts her head in my direction. 

"It's nothing Anko Sensei, we were just teasing Rielri." Kando says as he straightens himself out, ashamed to have been caught in that situation.

"Right, well as i was saying. None of you shall look at the content of the scrolls intill you reach the tower." She continues, ignoring us but no doubt going to question us later.

I look over at the direction of Shikamaru to find him already looking at me. I smile wide at him, despite my embarrasment from the earlier situation. He sends me a small smirk back before he glances back at Anko Sensei.
