38 [Anko Mitarashi!]
'...so what the fuck was the meaning of the 10th question...'
Sakura vocalized everyone's feeling and Ibiki-san spent the next few minutes terrorizing the future pillars of every country present by showing the hazards of the shinobi lifestyle...
'I thought the scar on his face was pretty bad but looking at the state of his skull… So this is what would happen if I ever get capture...'
A depressing atmosphere settled on most of the genins as we understood the implication of those scars… I think back to the day when I had my first kill…
'I sometimes forget the dark realities of our world...behind all this awesome power and jutsu's there is a dark reality hidden...'
While I was contemplating the dark reality and all the death and misery around us, and I sense a jounin-level human cannonball smash through the window…
'no...I don't need any more surprises today...'
The new entry in my weird ninja diaries is Anko Mitarashi apparently...her level is 125 and her dressing sense is...quite open? it is the safest word for that attire...Judging by her first words, the only thing I can imagine her as, was a female version of Naruto and the world has enough of that…
"I am the Examiner for the second test, Mitarashi Anko, now let's go!!!"
'Go where?'
---------------------------XOX----------------------------
'So honestly speaking I don't like the vibes around this place...'
All 24 teams stood before a caged forest with massive trees covering the perimeter… The forest looked dark and damp and did not feel like a fun place to go…
'Plus that name doesn't do its image any favours...'
"Welcome to the stage for the second test, Practice area 44, also known as 'The Forest of Death'".
'Yeah, that would do it...a scary name and a scary place, perfect place to test little genins if they can survive or not...this...please end this day...I can't take any more surprises...'
I felt a massive amount of monovalent chakra coming from the grass-nin and I am pretty sure that he did not have that much chakra, to begin with when the first exam started…
'There is a lot going on under the surface...I need to find an ANBU but how...that's right that might work...'
I leave the main area quietly and ran towards away from the training ground before flaring my chakra in the same pattern in which Kurenai-sensei did… It took a second before a team of anbu came but upon noticing me they each drew their blades…
"How do you know that code genin..." The leader stepped forward and spoke in an authoritative tone…
"I saw my Sensei use this code to call an ANBU team once so I tried that...nevermind that, I am a participant of the Chunin exams and I notice that a genin from grass village has the chakra reserves of a kage and his chakra is quiet distasteful...the important point was that I had scanned everyone before the first test started but then he had genin level chakra reserves...My sensei is Kurenai Yuhi if you can get this information to her or investigate a little I think it would be best...the rest is up to you..."
I bow a little and wait for their reply…
"What's your name kid?" The team leader with the fox mask asked me so I naturally replied, "Tobi Shou"
"Well then Tobi-kun, I think it would be best you go back so that your absence isn't noticed, don't worry we will pass this information and investigate at once..."
We exchanged nods before I dash back to training ground 44 and stand beside Hinata and Shino…
"What happened Tobi-kun..."
"Nothing much for now I'll tell you guys later, Shino did you place tracking bugs on everyone?"
"Yes I did, do you know why because that way we can easily track them after we figure out what our scroll is..."
'Say what now…?'
"What do you mean scroll?"
"Oh! Right Tobi-kun, while you were gone the proctor explained the rules of the second exam...basically there are two types of scroll one Earth and other Heaven...each team needs both the scrolls within five days in order to pass the exams..."
'So that's what she meant by at least cutting them in half...but what does at least mean?'
"Anything else…?"
"Yes, you can collect as many scrolls as you want but in order to pass the exam you need to travel to a building at the center of the training ground with everyone in your team conscious...you can not open the scroll no matter what...and also you need to sign this form in order to get the scroll..."
'Hmm...so we can take more than one scroll now and reduce the competition and critically injure opposite team members so that their whole team fails...There certainly will be a lot less than 12 teams advancing...'
"Shino place your tracking bugs on anyone with the scrolls...since we can take extra scrolls we will just attack teams until we find the right one...Also, ignore the grass team and the rookie teams...you know what, leave the sand team as well, I don't think I wanna fight them in this unpredictable environment..."
"But why the grass team...?"
"I'll tell you later...let's first get the scroll..."
We walked towards the tent where the scrolls were given to each team…We gave them our consent forms and they passed us a scroll with the Kanji for 'Heaven' on it…
We exit the tent together as I store the scroll in my inventory…
'Alright, now we need to follow the instructor to the gate...'
The gates were spaced with quite some space between them so it took us a few minutes to arrive… we waited for 15 minutes before the gates were finally opened…
"Shino closest team?"
"East 1.5 km"
'Let's get this party started...'
'Mind's Eye of the Kagura...'
