Chapter 14: Interviews... STOP TALKING!
"W-what is this place?" Naruto questioned.
The second exam was in a place with tall fences and signs that said restricted zone.
"This is the place where the second exam will take place." The proctor Ank informed. "The 44th training area... also know as the forest of death."
"The Forest of Death?" I heard Naruto say as the wind blew my hair back and forth.
Suddenly some kids dressed in a rock came and started chasing Naruto around. Did I miss something?
"Umm... Naruto?" I laughed making him turn around pointing at the box.
"Hey, Konohamaru!" Naruto shouted annoyed. "What are you doing here?"
"I should have expected that from the man I look up too." He says from inside the, very very, fake rock. "Good job detecting me."
"I'd be surprised if Naruto didn't." I muttered under my breath crossing my arms. All of a sudden the rectangular prism shaped rock starts glowing and blows up revealing three coughing children in the smoke.
"Hey, you used too much gunpowder." Kono coughs. The three suddenly stop and look up. The girl stands up doing a weird pose.
"The one who possesses the sex appeal of an adult, and the female ninja from the senior group, Moegi." She yells.
"The one who loves dividing numbers, Udon!" The other boy shouts.
"This village's number one genius ninja, Konohamaru." He introduces himself. "The three of us make-"
"The Konohamaru Corps!" They all say in synch.
"What do you three want?" Naruto questions with his hands on the back of his blonde head. "I'm about to take the Second Exam for the Chuunin Selection. I don't have time to play with you."
"We didn't come here to play." Kono defends with his fist up.
"Yeah, we came here on a story." Moegi says.
"A Story?" Naruto asks with his eyes looking down.
"You mean like newspapers?" I ask trying to see why the kids are interrupting the Exam.
"Yeah." He agrees with us. "We were asked to do an exclusive story on the Chuunin Selection Exams for our school Newspaper."
"So we came to ask you some questions." Moegi adds. "Please cooperate."
"I think he'd love too, Moegi-Chan." I smile pushing Naruto in front of me.
"I'd like to interview you too, please Hima-chan." Kono begs.
"Maybe later..." I mutter looking around for ease droppers.
"But..." Naruto starts.
"Hey! You over there! What do you think you doing?" The proctor yells coming over here.
"Konohamaru wants to do an exclusive for his school newspaper or something." Naruto explains.
"Oh," She rubs her hand on her head. "Yes, I forgot that Hokage-sama mentioned something like that."
"You forgot..." Naruto mumbles.
"We're going to have a ten minute break now." She shouts informing the crowd. "If you are asked any questions, just concede and cooperate quietly."
"Naruto, I'm counting on you!" Kono says putting his notebook up to Naruto. I take this as my cue to sneak away. I can't exactly answer very honestly, can I? I'll just listen later, Naruto will probably talk about him self the whole time. I on,y start to listen when he asks about me.
"Hisui she really nice, and strong! Though she hasn't been on this team long, and she hasn't been to the academy since she was like seven, it doesn't matter about that though because she is my friend and she could beat Sasuke easy." Naruto rants.
At first I was really flattered, but then I sweat drop a little when I hear the end. Of course Naruto, wouldn't want to not mention Sasuke and your rivalry. Next they did Sakura. She really didn't talk about herself very much. She talked about Naruto, Sasuke, and then me.
"Hisui is relatively strong. From what we've seen she has quick reflexes and is great with swords. I'm assuming that's because of her training with The Demon of the Mist, Zabuza Momichi. Other than that I can't tell, she really hasn't fought around us at all. Everybody calls her by her nickname Hisui, so when you talk to her here call her that." Sakura answered before moving on to Kakashi.
"Hey! Hisui!" I quickly stopped breathing from the branch in the tree above them. "I want to interview you, Hisui." Kono yelled lookin for me.
Something hit me in the back of the head, a rock, causing me to fall. I landed on my hands and back flipped into a crouching position. I see Sasuke and immediately know it was him.
"What the heck!" I shouted angrily at him.
"We're supposed to cooperate." Sakura interrupted getting in between Sasuke and I.
"Fine. Ask away." I complied my eye twitching in anger though nobody could see that.
"Tell us about yourself a bit. Then your teammates and your feeling on the Chuunin Exams." Moegi begged.
"Okay. My name is Hisui." Lie. "I like Dango and Potatoes. I find the color yellow repulsive. I'm really good with a sword and Water Jutsu." I replied thinking.
"Okay I'll start with Naruto. He's an obnoxious kid, isn't all that bright, and has no sense when it comes to written Exams, but he's a good friend. Now Sakura. She's obsessed with Sasuke, has good smarts, but lacks in the fighting department. Though she is really nice once you get to know her. Lastly Sasuke, he is the last of the Uchiha. I can't imagine that, but I know he's the number one boy rookie."
"Wow!" Moegi's eyes were all bright. "Your so cool, that flip you did when you fell from the tree."
"T-thanks." My face when red a bit as I wasn't used to people complimenting me.
•---•
"This sure is a creepy place." Sakura paled.
"Yeah I guess so... I can't wait to get started." I cheered in the tension.
"Your as bad as Naruto..." She muttered.
"But less stupid." I laughed.
"You will be able to experience why this place is called the Forest of Death." She grinned.
Naruto put his fist on his hips and imitated her. He started yelling about he wasn't scared and she should stop trying to scare them. Yup, he's an idiot. She threw a kunai straight past Naruto's face scratching his cheek.
"Boys like you die in this forest." Anko whispered from behind him. "After spilling out that red blood I love all over the place."
Suddenly a really creepy guy went in from behind her and handed her the kunai with his tongue. I've got a bad feeling about this guy. Just looking at him sent a shiver down my spine. After he complained about the blood and the hair he left walking past us sending a chill through my body. We better avoid that one, I'm not sure that he is a Genin.
"This is going to be interesting." The proctor grinned. "Before we begin I'm going to pass these out to everyone. These are consent forms. Those taking thisExam must sign these."
"Consent forms?" I questioned staring at her.
"From here on, people will die. Therefore before we start you have to sign it." She smiled suddenly. "Otherwise, I'd be held responsible. Now I will begin the explanation of the Second Exam."
"To be concise, you will all go through an extreme survival match. First, I'll explain the training area's geographical features. The 44th training area is a circular region surrounded by 44 locked gate entrances. There is a river, a forest, and a tower in the middle. The tower is approximately 10 km away from the gates.
Inside this limited space, you will have to go through a certain survival program. The program consists of...man competition where anything goes...mover these scrolls."
"Scrolls?" Somebody questioned.
"Yes, the Heaven scroll and the Earth scroll. You will fight over these scrolls, 26 teams in total passed the First Exam. Half of those teams will get the Scroll of Heaven. The other half will get the scroll of the Earth. Simply you have to fight over these." She explained.
"And? What's needed to pass?" Sasuke interrogates.
"Bring the scrolls of Heaven and Earth to the tower with your teammates." Anko responds.
"In other words, the 13 teams, or half the people here, that get their scroll stolen will fail." Sakura points out.
"But it needs to be done within the time limit. This second exam has a limit of 120 hours. Or exactly five days." Our proctor puts away the scrolls. Five days? I'm sure I could do that, but my team isn't very fast.
"Five days?!" Ino shouts questioning her.
"What about food?" Choji yells worried about, of all things, his stomach.
"Scrounge up some. The forest is a treasure box of nature. There should be plenty of food." Anko commands us.
"However," Kabuto interrupts. "There are a lot of man-eating beasts, poison bugs, and poisonous plants."
I just ignore all the random people comments about his subject until she starts counting something on her hand.
"First, a team that cannot bring both scrolls to the tower with the three teammates will fail. Second, the team that loses a teamate or produces an unrecoverable teammate will fail." She stops before adding something. "Just as a note... You are not allowed to look inside the scrolls until you reach the tower."
"What happens if you look?" Naruto asks. What does happen?
"That's a surprise you'll see when you look at it." She says it slowly giggling like a creepy stalker. "If you become a Chuunin, you will be handling top secret documents. It's to determine your reliability. We will exchange three we will exchange three or four consent forms for one scroll at the hut. And after picking your Gate entrance. Everybody will begin." She sighed. "Here's one last piece of advice..., don't die."
Oh I must have made ya mad. Long wait, sorry about that, ya must have been excited for the Chuunin Exams and wanted them to start. I like to go mostly by the actual book so lots of information that isn't usually included in fanfiction.
