#18 The Second Exam

So the Three went on their Path and Haru transported the Ball, which was 30 cm long and weighed about 3 kg.

They ran for a good half Hour until another Path led to theirs.

Rei, Haru what do you think?

Should we try to trap another Team here or do we want to keep going because there's a chance Nobody will come down the Path.

What does your Byakugan say Rei, can you see someone on the Path?

Wait I'll have a look.

Thick Veins formed around Rei's Eyes, but after 5 Seconds he said the Path looked empty.

Then let's move on we shouldn't waste Time.

The three kept running and after 2 Hours they came to a huge Stone Platform into which several Paths led and at the end of the Platform was a suspension Bridge that led to the other Side of the Gorge.

Rei check if someone is there. Understood.

I see 6 People hiding in the Ground I think it's the two Teams from Sunagakure. What do we want to do?

I have a Plan Haru said.

Sounds doable. Haru walked onto the Platform with his Ball.

Hey Guys here comes one of the Konoha Ninja's, but why is he alone?

The Six jumped out of the Ground and surrounded him, three of them holding Kunai and three had pulled out Puppets for the fight.

Haru screamed please don't hurt me my Team was attacked by wild Animals they were huge and my Teammates died trying to save me, he then started crying.

Come on folks, that's a small Child, we can't hurt him, can we?

Watch out you give us your Ball and then you can come with us and we'll make sure you survive the Exam, well what do you say?

Haru wiped the Tears from his Face and said mocked them.

Haru's shadow got all 6, they had neglected their Cover.

What are you doing, why can't we move anymore?

Like I say, I screwed you Guys.

Just because I'm younger than you doesn't make it safer for you to handle me.

You can see my Headband, you Idiots, have you ever seen that they are simply distributed them to someone like that?

People you can come the Idiots fell for it. Look for their Balls.

Well wait, when your Jutsu stops, we'll tear you apart.

Bla bla bla.

Hey Haru, I have their Balls they were in their Holes.

Well then I'll follow right away.

Hoseki it's all your fault, he's just a little Boy we can't hurt him, you've always been a Softy.

The next Moment Haru loosened his Grip on them and Ura cloaked him into the appearance of a 7-foot-tall Rob Lucci with two Sharingan Eyes in his Eye sockets. What kind of Jutsu is this?

Anyway, let's tear him apart.

The Puppets attacked Haru with Blades but their Blades broke and the Kunais ricocheted off his Body.

Haru grabbed one of the Puppets and slammed it to the Ground, breaking it into a thousand Pieces.

I'd still like to play with you, but I still have an Exam to complete.

Haru turned and ran away from them, but they chased him across the Bridge.

Haru got to the end of the Bridge and turned around.

He held one of his Claws to the Rope of the Bridge and let his Claws grow.

A genin from Suna shouted no please don't do that, we can talk about anything. But Haru ignored him and said Shadow Shave.

The suspension Bridge slowly descended into the Gorge.

Haru waved at the Genin and they quickly tried to hold onto Something.

Two of them fell down the Gorge when the bridge hit the Stone Wall.

Haru that was pretty mean of you.

I know, but somehow they deserved it. The Three were now standing at a Cave Entrance and each of them had a Ball in their Arms.

I would say Saha use your Sharingan and lead us through the Cave.

Ok follow me, the Three went into the Cave and it was getting darker and darker, guy's here are two Ways one leads up and the other leads down which one should we take?

Let's go upstairs, so they went upstairs and soon saw an Exit.

It got lighter again and they noticed that there were huge Nests made of small Bushes in front of them.

Haru went into one of the Nests and saw another Ball in it and his Brain clicked. Guys, we'd better get out of here.

Why Haru?

Because our Balls are actually Eggs from something big.

The Other two were shocked by what Haru said, the next Moment the Three heard a loud screeching Scream and saw a 20m Bald Eagle flying towards them. Haru and the Others ran back towards the Cave, but the Giant Bird reached them before.

Haru threw then his Egg as high as he could, hoping the Bird would try to catch it and he was right the Eagle tried to grab the Egg and the three had enough Time to run back into the Cave.

That was close, this Cattle almost tore us to pieces.

Haru thought well yes, we should have taken the way Down.

They then went Together again to the fork and followed the Path down, on the Way Saha said Guy's here are everywhere Cobwebs.

I think there are giant Spiders here.

I may have to tell you that I'm scared of Spiders.

That's bad should I send Ura in front to get rid of them?

If you could do that for me It would be really nice of you.

Thank you.

Ura you heard it go ahead.

Yes Master, we don't want our Beloved to get scared.

It sounds really weird the Way you say that.

The Group walked on and Saha suddenly started screaming there is a Spider.

Ura came back at that Moment.

Why is She screaming I killed Them all. Saha it's good, she's dead, she can't hurt you anymore.

But it's still gross.

They walked on and the Path narrowed until it was filled with Water.

I think from here we have to dive should I let Ura see how far it is?

Yes.

Ura went into the Water and after 20 seconds he was back

"Master the Water Passage is 5m long and leads into a large Cave with a high number of other Water Paths that have Aymbols at their Entrances".

Understood Ura good Job.

Guys the Passage is 5 m long ,It's doable ura says it leads into a large Cave.

Then let's go swimming the Three of them dived through the Passage and came out on the other Side.

Haaa great now my Clothes are wet and i'm cold said Saha.

We feel the same.

The Cave they entered had Luminescent Stones on the Walls that lit the Cave up brightly.

Ok and what now?

Let's see if we discover something that shows us the Way forward.

So the Hallway from which we came had a Square above it, if we only knew which Symbol leads to the Goal, because they all have different Symbols.

I'll just send Ura into the Corridors, maybe he'll find a Clue.

Ura go!

Ura searched the Corridors for almost 2 Hours and found a Symbol that looked like a Snake in an underwater cul-de-sac and then came back to Haru.

Master I saw a Snake Symbol with my Sharingan in the Corridor.

Guys Ura found a Snake Symbol I think we need to look for that Entrance look for the Symbol.

Over here, it's here called Rei.

Ok then we get wet again.

All three dived again and this Passage was at least 20m long but all Three made it.

To cross it Haru took one of the Glowing Stones with him, to be able to see something while diving.

They emerged and continued down the Hallway.

They were cold and they shivered, but then say saw a light after half an Hour and they saw a House that stood under a Circular Cave Opening.

The Sun was already setting.

The House shone in a red Light and next to it was a 6m tall Cherry Tree and the Cherry Blossoms fell all over the Area it was beautiful said Sagitha.

They knocked on the Door and Bee opened the Door amazed and said your Team was really fast, apparently you choose your Paths wisely in the Past.

Give me the Eggs they are pure Protein, if you eat them every Day you will soon look like me, Masculine.

Come in I have a Fireplace in here too.

I think you don't need a second Clue.

They gave Bee the Eggs and went in and while they were warming themselves by the Fireplace, Bee cooked the Eggs in the Kitchen and then brought Scrambled Eggs to the Troupe.

You can have more when Everything is empty, we still have that Stuff here plenty. After they had eaten, Bee wanted to show them their three Rooms, but they said they only needed 2 Rooms.

Bee asked Them why only two?

Sagitha then grabbed Haru's Hand and said Haru is my stuffed Animal and I think he needs his Cuddles after this Say.

Bee's Jaw dropped and he asked so is he a real Man already?

And he's playing for you, Teddy?

Maybe it's because of his red Hair,i felt right from the start it exudes a nice Flair. Bee then thought about dying his hair Red, but decided not to.

They then all went to their Rooms and Bee continued to wait at the Door to see if other Teams would come Today, but none came and so he went to sleep.
