Chapter 119: Chapter 119
Anko smirked, "Well if you do open either of the scrolls you'll be in for a nasty surprise. So for your benefit and my entertainment I hope you don't, I want to see you fight. So now that the explanations are done, sign the form and turn them in at the booth, then pick a gate and prepare to begin the exam."
As soon as she finished the chunin pulled a black curtain over the booth so that no one could look in. Everyone walked away after that, going somewhere to sign the forms before walking over to the booth to get their scrolls.
Sasuke looked down at the scroll he had received. It was a heaven scroll, meaning they would need to get an earth scroll to pass. He looked over at Naruto who was grinning from ear to ear, reminiscent of the crazy proctor who had just finished speaking, while Sakura was looking into the forest with a nervous expression.
There's bound to be deaths in this exam. I hate to say it, but I'm confident Naruto can handle anything that comes our way; however I'm unsure if Sakura will be able to deal with it. Sasuke looked into the forest that his team was going to be stuck in for five days. Whatever the case, we're going to need to be careful in this forest if we want to survive.
"You excited teme?" asked Naruto, smirking as the raven-haired Genin looked at him.
After a moment Sasuke smirked as well, showing a rare display of comradeship with his blond teammate. "Of course. This will be a great opportunity to test myself against ninja from other villages."
"This will definitely be one hell of a party, I can tell you that," Naruto grinned.
Suddenly Anko's voice came on over the speakers, "The second test of the Chunin Exams begins…now!"
The gates opened and the teams shot forward, heedless of the dangers that awaited them. Naruto and Team Seven stopped as the sounds of screaming began to echo through the forest. They had known there would be deaths, but actually hearing the screams of people who may be dying at this very moment really made the dangers of this forest sink in.
"Dobe, from what I heard from your conversation with that proctor you've been here before?" asked Sasuke.
Naruto nodded, "That's right; I actually train in here several times a week. You could say I know this place like the back of my hand."
Sasuke grunted, "So then what would you suggest we do?"
Both Naruto and Sakura looked at their teammate in shock; neither of them had expected Sasuke to ask someone else for their opinion.
Naruto was the first to recover, "Well we came through gate thirty-three, if we head two miles east we'll run into a river that will take us all the way to the tower. My suggestion would be to take that stream all the way to the tower and then set traps at said tower, since we already know that everyone will be heading their eventually. Of course in this sector there are several man-eating plants so we'll have to watch out for them. Our best bet for avoiding them will be to stick to the middle ground along the tree branches until we reach the stream."
Sasuke nodded, "I think that's the best plan we can come up with given the circumstances."
"You know, you seem pretty chill with essentially giving me the chains of command teme." Naruto raised an eyebrow and grinned, "Admitting my superiority?"
"Hardly," Sasuke scoffed, "but you know this forest better than I do, so it would be stupid of me not to at least get your input when coming up with a plan."
"That's so heartwarming to know you trust me teme, I'm touched."
"Just don't get used to it."
The two smirked at each other before moving again, making a confused Sakura follow them. After several more minutes of running Naruto stopped.
"Why'd you stop dobe?" asked Sasuke.
"Gotta take a leak," Naruto replied.
"Gross Naruto, don't say such things in front of a lady," Sakura crinkled her nose in disgust.
"A lady? Where?" asked Naruto grinning like a madman as he moved behind a large bush, leaving a fuming Sakura.
Finished listening to the call of nature Naruto zipped his pants back up and was about to go back to his team, when he heard a noise. Turning around he was just in time to see an Ame ninja rush up to him.
Naruto had no time to act as the Ame ninja stabbed him with a kunai. However the Ame ninja was surprised when Naruto disappeared in a puff of smoke. The real Naruto jumped right on top of the Ame ninja's head, smashing him into the ground where he met blissful unconsciousness.
Grabbing the Genin by his light tan jumpsuit Naruto hauled the Genin into the clearing where his two teammates were waiting.
"What happened?" Sasuke asked as he eyed the unconscious Genin.
Naruto scowled, "Bastard tried to jump me while I was answering the call of nature. Seriously! Who does that? Isn't this a violation of one of the man laws or something!"
Sasuke just rolled his eyes at how over dramatic his teammate was being, "Does he have a scroll?"
Frowning Naruto dropped the Ame Genin and search him, grinning triumphantly when he found a scroll, but frowning when he saw that it was the heaven scroll.
"Great, another heaven scroll," Naruto sighed. "Looks like our luck is good, but not good enough to get what we want."
"Quit complaining," Sasuke said, "at least it means one less scroll for someone else." He looked down at the unconscious Genin. "We should tie him up and then we need to come up with a codeword in case we get separated and someone tries to do this again."
Naruto created a Kage Bunshin to tie up the Ame ninja. The blond looked at the heaven scroll in his hand before sealing it away in a containment seal on his wrist. After that the three gathered around each other.
"Alright, we'll need a codeword in case an enemy captures us and tries to disguise themselves to get close. If we do this and the person gets it wrong we'll assume it's an enemy." Sasuke stopped and looked around to make sure no one was listening in. "When someone asked for the ninja song nin machine, this is the answer you give them, 'A large amount of enemies is the friend of the shinobi, hide and remain silent. A shinobi must understand the proper time, when the enemy is tired and ill prepared.'"
Naruto blinked, "Why the hell would you want us to say such a long ass phrase. I thought this was a password not a poem."
"What's the matter baka, too long to remember?" asked a smug Sakrua.
Naruto glared at her, "Of course it is! Only someone with a large ass brain like you could remember that," He dutifully ignored the pinkette's growl, "Look I've got a better idea." The blond pressed a hand to his left torso and unsealed a brush and a bottle of ink.
