Nikki's POV

"There's something kind of creepy about this place." Sakura said creeped out off by the sight.

Anko laugh a bit. "This place is called the Forest of Death, you'll soon realize why." She said.

"The Forest of Death, you'll soon realize why." Naruto mocked, swing his hips causing me to giggle.

"That kind of threat won't work on me one bit! I'm not scared!" Naruto pointed at Anko with confined.

"Really?" Anko asked, making me suspicious of what she was going to do. "You've got a lot of energy." She said before she suddenly throw a kunai at Naruto, giving him a small cut on hit cheek which surprised me.

Anko disappeared and reappeared behind Naruto in a second. "A kid like you dies at very beginning, dappled with the red blood I like."

I look at Naruto worried as I grab a hold of Sasuke's arm.

Suddenly Anko pull out another kunai and helt it up at a grass ninja, who stood behind them, holding a her kunai with a tongue.

I was super creeped out at how long her tongue is while moving close to Sasuke.

"I'm returning your...kunai knife..." A female grass ninja told Anko.

"Thank you for taking the trouble..." Anko and the grass ninja glares at each other. "But...don't stand me, thirsty for blood. If you don't want a quick death..." She told the grass ninja while taking the kunais.

"Well, it's my nature to act up at the sight of red blood. And my precious hair was cut so I got excited..." The grass ninja said.

"I'm sorry..." Anko apologies.

I let go of Sasuke's arm and walk over to Naruto. "Are you okay, Naruto?" I asked, handle him a handkerchief.

He nodded before looking at the grass ninja and stick out tongue out which made me sweat drop.

"Evidently, we've got a lot of hot-blooded kids time. This will be fun." Anko said chuckle as Naruto glares at her.

"Well, before we start the second exam, I have to pass this out to you!" Anko walk back to stand in front of everyone and pull out a stack of paper from her coat.

"It's a consent from, before you can take part in the test you have to sign this." Anko told us.

"Why?" Naruto wondered.

"From here on out corpses are going to come out, I have get your consent to that! Or it'll be my responsibility." Anko said, laughing as it was a joke. "Well, I'm going to start the explanation for the second exam. In a word, your survival will be challenged." She hand out the consent form.

"First, I'll give you step-by-step instruction on the terrain of this. Training Field." Anko opened a scroll that revealing the training field. "Training Field Number 44 is surrounded by 44 locked entrance gates, there are rivers and a forest and a tower in the middle. It's about 10 kilometers from the towers to the gate... In this confined area, you will go through a certain survival program. The contents of are...anything goes scroll battle!" Anko explained, putting the scroll away and put out two different ones, one black and one white.

"Scroll...?" Sasuke and I question in confused.

"Yes... I want you to fight for two scrolls, the Heaven Scroll and the Earth Scroll. All together 26 teams got through the first test. Half of them...13 teams get the Heaven Scroll, the other half get the Earth Scroll. I'll hand over one scroll to each team. To put it simply that's what you're vying for." Anko explain to us.

"And the conditions to pass?" Sasuke asked.

"Three of you bring both the Heaven and Earth scrolls to the tower in the center." Anko told us.

"That means that of the 13 teams, half of them will fail for sure..." I said and I saw Sakura glares at me which make me think that she was going to say the something.

"Except it has to be in time. For this second exam, the time limit is 120 hours. Do it in exactly five days!" Anko told us, surprising me and did others.

"Five days." Ino said.

"What do we do about food?" Choji asked, freaking out.

"Be self-sufficient! It's a treasure trove in the wilderness. There's more than enough for food..." Anko answer him.

"However... It's teeming with fierce people-eating animals, poison bugs, poisonous weeds and much more." Kabuto said.

Making Choji more sad. "No way..."

Ino glance at him. "Fool, that's why it's called survival!"

"Besides, it's improbable that 39 people, 13 teams will pass." The Hyuuga guy from Lee's team, Neji said.

Lee continue. "The interval for activity gets longer with passing each day, while the time for recovery get shorter... Seems pretty grueling!" He smirk.

"On top of that, you're surrounded by nothing but enemies even falling asleep will be a problem..." I looked at Sasuke concern for our team but he held mine hand and give it a soft squeezes.

"And, besides those injured during attempts to capture scrolls...there will definitely be people are unable to endure the rigors of the course." Anko said.

"Umm..." Shikamaru raise his hand up. "So you can quit in the middle of it?" He asked.

"According to the rules, you cannot give up in the middle of it!" Anko told him strictly. "I want you to spend five days in the forest." She smile.

"Just like I thought... This is going to be a pain!" Shikamaru complained.

"Moving on, conditions of disqualification." Anko said, hands on her hips. "Number 1, if all numbers of teams can't make it to the tower with the Heaven and Earth Scrolls within the time limit. Number 2, if a team loses a member or if a member become incapacitated. There's that, and this is a supplement... Absolutely do not look at the contents of the scrolls until you have reached the tower!"

"W-what happens if we look at it halfway through?" Naruto asked curiously.

"When you look at you'll find...out!" She answered.

"Huh?" Naruto deadpanned while I raised on eyebrow.

"There are times when a Chūnin must deal with super-secret text. This is text your reliability. That's all the explanation! I'll exchange your three consent forms for the scrolls in that hut over there. After that, simultaneously! *Sigh* Finally, just a word of advice... Don't die!" Anko told us.

Everyone when in small group to discussed their plans or somethings while I stood with some trees, reading the consent form.

"*Kayaa!*" I squeak when something blow my neck. I turn to see Sasuke, laying over me with his hand above my head while the other one in his pocket, smirking at me.

I blush. "What is it?" Playing with my fingers, shyly.

"Hmph..." Sasuke smirk as he gently life my chin up and kiss me with my hands on his chest while his was above me, against the tree trunk.

"Mn..." Our kiss turn to a make-out as he had lick my lips, asking for permission which I allow then our tongues dance together. I felt Sasuke slide drop my body, down to. My hips and give it a gently squeeze earning him a moan from me.

"It's about time for the scroll exchange." A proctor announce causing us to pull apart.

I blush while Sasuke was a bit annoyed before we went to regroup with Sakura and Naruto as it was our turn to hand over our consent form and received our scroll.

"Teams who have taken the scroll, stay with the representative and move to the gate! We'll all start simultaneously in 30 minutes!!" Anko instructed.

We went to our gate, gate 12. "Okaaaay! I won't lose! I'll bring down whoever comes near me." Naruto proclaimed as she punch the air which Sakura nodded in agreement.

"We gat this!" I cheered, raising me fist up.

"We now start the second test of the Chūnin Exam!" Anko announce as the gate opened the forest.

I kept my guard up and I was handing Sasuke's hand when suddenly scream could be heard through the forest.

"Wasn't that someone screaming just now?" Sakura asked as the birds reacting to the scream and fly away. "I-I'm kinda getting nervous."

"Me too." I said nervously.

"I-It was nothing, Sakura. Believe it!" Naruto tried to reassure her while Sasuke rubbed his thumb on my knuckle.

"I-I have to pee..." I sweat drop at Naruto.

Sakura punch his head. "Y-you...fool! What are you doing in front of a lady! Go to the grass!" She said angrily at him as a bump appeared.

Third Person's POV

"Aaah, that was a lot! I'm refreshed." 'Naruto' said as Nikki and Sasuke exchanged a nod.

"Like I said, not in front of a lady--!" Nikki interrupt Sakura as she had throw a shuriken at 'Naruto' dodge but Sasuke appeared behind him, punching him to a tree. "S-Sasuke, Nikki...no matter what, you don't have to go that far." Sakura said shocked.

"W-what was that for...?"'Naruto' didn't get to talk, Nikki came at him with a kick. He flip backward which Sasuke awaited and punch 'Naruto' up a brand which him swing to sit on it only to be kick down by Nikki and Sasuke.

"What are you two doing...all of a sudden?!" 'Naruto' asked.

"What you ask? That's my line, isn't it?" Sasuke said.

"Sasuke!" Sakura exclaimed as he pull out a kunai a launch to 'Naruto'

"It can't be helped!" 'Naruto' said, pulling out a kunai too.

"Nikki! Let me handle it!" Sasuke exclaimed before crashing blades with each other.

Nikki was watch the spark from the blades with her guard up.

"Sasuke, please stop!" Sakura bagged him as she still haven't catch on.

Nikki couldn't take it. "Sakura! Look closely at him!" She snap, confusing her.

"Talk! Where's the real Naruto!" Sasuke demanded.

"I have no idea what you're talking about!" 'Naruto' said.

"Yeah right... Then what happened to the scratch on you face?" Nikki smugle when she saw him flinch in shock as she knew she had caught him.

"Also your shuriken holster is on your left leg. That guy's right handed!" Sasuke pointed out. "You're worse at transformation than Naruto, you phony!"

'Naruto' smirk as he reveal his true self, a rain ninja. "Unlucky! You got me. In that case..." The rain ninja said. "Which one of you got the scroll?"

Their didn't answer as Sakura pull out a kunai and took a fighting stance like Sasuke and Nikki.

"If you listen to me obediently, I'll spare your lives." The rain ninja said but all he received was glances. "I see! Then I'll resort to force!" He ran toward them, kunai out.
