Naruto

It was getting darker by the second and it was the third day of the 2nd test in the Chunnin exam. Krystal Nemuri followed her two companions through the trees of the forest of death she was starting to get tired.

"Hey how many more kilometers till the tower,Draco do you have any idea?"
 
Draco stopped, and pulled something out of a pouch. He unfolded it, and then looked through it, seeing the Tower in the distance. He lowered the device, which was a rangefinder, and started to do some calculations on a notepad. He looked at her slowly, and smiled. "About 10 miles, I think."
 
Still waiting till the end of this cursed exam (for being so long), Jin started doing some reading with scrolls he found inside the tower. They were probably some random scrolls left here, or maybe someone left them there. He read them, only learning some new jutsus, but unsuccesfully mastered them due to lack of chakra in his body. Other than that, he just sat there, probably thinking of a song in his head.

"hey do u kno how many days are left of this exam?" asked Jin impatiently.

"dunno, but its either we were too fast and literally kicked all of their asses," said Rock Lee," or they are as slow as snails climbing up an aquarium."

"the only thing to do that would keep us from dying of boredom is to train, and that my friends, will start......NOW!!!!" said Neji, as he swiftly threw some kunais at both of us. Jin obviously sensed this and quickly jumped out of the way, but his hand slipped and the scroll was still sitting there, getting hit with the kunai.

"MY SCROLL!!!!!!!" said Jin. He was reading that and now everybody has to come and ruin the moment. Jin was mad, but no time to think about it as Rock Lee suddenly charged forward towards Jin, unwrapping some bandages of his arm.
 
For a while Krystal was Bucking it Treio and Draco behind her it seemed like hours.(OOC:to me this should be over soon cause everyteam has their scrolls I'm making a long time jump if you don't mind it's 2 hours before test ending ??hope that doesn't throw anyone off)

IC:.:I hope Sakura is there and I hope Sasuke is dead maybe if I wore my hair like Sasuke:. Krystal was lost in thoughts and being careless. She tripped a wire and 2 gigantic logs came down almost crushing Krystal and Treio.

"Whew that was close..." Treio said.

"Ya my bad" Krystal looked at Draco who seemed to be fuming with anger...

Trying to change the subject "Hey isn't that the tower" Krystal pointed towards a gigantic building that was very close.

"Krystal me and Draco have been talking about a strategy and we need to be silent at all costs I know it's close but..."Treios heed of silence fell on deaf ears as Krystal had seen how close it was.

.:Gotta find Sakura:. She was so excited!
 
Surprisingly, their fight actually took them to the top of the building, on the rooftop. Lee tried, unsuccesfully, many times to use his Primary Lotus move on Jin and Neji, but somehow they could always predict his move, even though they always got kicked up first. Jin, on the other hand, knew that his jutsus were limited and were a lot weaker compared to Neji's and Lee's jutsus. Jin just felt an urge of using a newly read jutsu, seeing if it would work. He knew this would mean life or death. If he succeeded, it may change the tide of battle towards his favour, if he failed...they would beat the pulp out of him. Might as well give it a try..,thought Jin. He pulled out a kunai knife and held it infront of him. Then he focused all his chakra into the knife instead of his arms. He could feal the energy surge through his arms, yet he knew it was not enough. Suddenly, his mind and thoughts blurred out, for in reality, he was surrounded with a dark/negative glow around him. He has just unlocked the chakra reserve inside of him. Then the kunai started to glow. Neji and Lee didn't know what was happening, but decided to do something about it. They jumped into the air and started throwing knives, making it as if it was raining knives around the rooftop. Suddenly, Jin started waving the glowing kunai, deflecting each and everyone of the kunai. They were deflected with a such a great force that one of them flew back into the forest, knocking a whole tree down with impact. Another one interrupted a battle between two groups, fatally wounding both teams when the kunai hit the ground.

Jin started moving faster and faster towards Lee and Neji, who randomly decided to double team on Jin, due to the weird glowing energy around him. Neji activated his bloodline trait, the nerves just pumping out of his membranes, his eyes depicting anger and hatred. But Jin never noticed his eyes, his vision blurred out because of an unknown source ordering his body without his free will. The body quickly dissapeared right infront of Neji. Neji tried to sense everywhere. Suddenly, a whoosh of air came behind Neji. Being Neji of course, he saw it, but a bit too late, for his kunai was deflected off his hand.

IC: previous day: Seji had noticed me in deep thought and yet staring at him all the same. 'nani o?' I turned my eyes to the fire deciding what to say.

"It isn't anything Seji. Just thinking." I looked up into the mist, I suppose if that wasn't there then the trees would still block my view of the stars. "The good news is now that we have the scroll we can reach at the tower in a couple of hours."

...Days Later...

"Look Murame, I am just trying to say it isn't my fault we got lost." I lept to the next branch, and stopped. I guess traveling by river was my idea but I had thought it went directly to the tower, not directly away from it. Had I been right we would of been there much quicker then if we had traveled by tree tops.

I saw an object dart in bellow me, and suddenly the tree was quaking and cracking. I quickly realized it was falling and lept to the next tree and kept going. "That was kuni, and it cut down that huge tree." That feat wasn't easy to do. "We should hurry to the tower."
 
Jin couldn't control himself. His chakra level was going out of his limits. He could burst any minute, and become an imploding ball, sucking everything into who knows where. He quickly thought of a way of stopping this. Remembering about what the scroll said, the key way of maintaining a chakkra lvl is to balance the ying and yang in the body, thus making harmony. He quickly thought of happy thoughts, blurring out the angry thoughts. Suddenly, he felt his pressure dropping, he can think properly, but his body is weak. He fell face foward into the ground, fainting.

Neji and Lee decided it was time to rest, because they knew they would wipe each other out, making them first to fail the second part of the chuunin exam. They carried Jin's body back to his own bed and they all fell asleep afterwards.

After a couple days more of trudging we were close to the tower. It was somewhat insufferable hearing Murame and Ookubo arguing. I kind of ignored them as I walked around. Things hadn't gone totally as planned. Something must have kept our attention away from the tower when we passed it. It didnt' matter, because we could see the tower now. Ookubo said something about a tree falling and I reflexively jumped out from under it and started working a mist as I pulled open my water pack, using the water from there to make the mist. I formed some ice and pointed the way to the tower for Ookubo and Murame while I kept the mist up so that we could run to the tower from under its cover.

IC: Seji was done with taking risks. He put up a mist field and I switched to stealth mode. Taking a few steps toward the tower I quickly noticed that the ground was now covered in a thin layer of frost. Seems Seji's chackra is as strong as it has always been.

"Murame, be careful with the frost." Murame adjusted her chakra briefly and seconds later was walking on the frost and not threw the frost. Seji very rarely disturbed frost of his own making, I wasn't sure if it was deliberate on his part or do to his breeding, either way I envied both of them. I lept into the trees and moved across them to be more stealthy, I was hoping Murame would of joined me. We continued our journey to the tower carefully but quickly.
 
Draco sighed, and walked past the young woman. He was starting to wonder how they were going to get past this exam.

I ran forward, keeping the mist trailing after us as I continued to pour out more water until I emptied the container. It was semi heavy, but now, I had water to work with, which meant that if our attackers decided to do something, I was advantaged. Stopping just after I emptied the container, I turned around and pulled out my two ninja tou. The blades were short and straight, not sharp like a katana but somewhat dull the way I was told they were supposed to be. It took me a year to relearn how to use my chakra and the least I could do for Murame and Ookubo was make sure they were able to go on to do what they had planned. I stood there waiting for long moments and realized that the people who attacked us became confused unable to coordinate their movements. I smiled and put my blades away and walked up to one of them very quietly. Using my chakra I encased the person in walls of ice, turning the air around the ninja into a cage of ice trapping the shinobi in place. As I heard the scream of panic I ran off, taking the mist with me back on my way to the tower. I moved quietly, much of the mist was gone because of the water I expended in making the prison but enough of it was around. The further away I got from the cage it took more concentration, I heard it shatter and I felt them break it. Letting go of my concentration on the water I felt it melt back. It was a waste that I didn't like but it served our purposes and the mist followed in our wake until I felt it safe enough. I stopped far away, dissipating the mist enough to see Murame and Ookubo. Murame quickly dropped down and took the mist, controlling her chakra to bring the mist back into the container as water. Closing the cap I looked at them they seemed to be okay, but I felt the urge to ask anyway "anatatachi wa daijobu desuka?" Murame smirked as she always did when she heard me speak, I don't know why but they always felt I spoke too formally. It was something that was sometimes a point of discussion. Both Ookubu and Murame said that I never talked like this before the incident, but for some reason, something deep down inside me told me it was always better speak in a proper manner.

IC: I stopped at the last tree just feet above the tower. Murame soon fallowed stopping at an adjacent branch. I turned back to see where Seji was. He ran just bellow us the mist thinned so he could see us. We both lept down to his level. He took a quick look at us and Murame condensed the water. 'anatatachi wa daijobu desuka?'

"Yeah I think we are okay." I took a look back to make sure no one was fallowing. "You know," I turned back to Seji. "I really wish you would speak English, that seems to be the norm here and it is best to blend in." I looked at the tower. "This isn't our entrance. We should hurry and find ours, once we do we are safe to recover."
 
Jin finally woke up, rubbing his head. Man, do i have a huge headache, and i feel so weak and shaky... Jin tried to move but couldn't even sit straight up. Neji and Lee finally came in to check on Jin. "Man, how much do you weigh? WE had to take a few stops just to get back into our own room from the rooftop." asked Lee. Neji just sighed and leaned on the wall. "Sorry, i never knew i weighed that much. Must be from all the ramen i eat each day before training." said Jin. He smiled sheepishly, just making Lee laugh. "So whats the update on the second round?" asked Jin. "Looks like only some of them survived all the way through, and only one team except for us got no scratches on them." said Neji turning towards me, "They are from the sand village, and all three have things hung around their backs." "Well at least now we know that maybe our hard training would pay off after all." said Jin. Neji just laughed. "We better get ready for the next round of the exam. Can you move, Jin?" said Lee. "I think i can, thanks." replied Jin, trying to stand up only to be nearly falling back limp, grabbing hold of a chair nearby. "Lee better help u get down the stairs." said Neji, smirking.

I nodded and said softly "um . . . I don't remember what our entrance looks like . . ." while I fixed my clothing a bit.
 
Sonia Ookubo

IC: "You don't?" I crossed my arms and sighed. "Neither do I." Murame smiled. 'You two are just pathetic, it is the number of the gate we went in.' I stopped and thought for a moment. "Your right, so what was that number." Murame's smile disapeared and there was a long pause.

"You forgot didn't you?" She smiled again 'Fooled you! We are two entrances over on the right.' We started walking that way calm and collected.
 
Nanashi/Seki

I looked down sheepishly and said "suma" as I walked over to our entrance following them. I walked up and looked back at them "so . . . we go?"
 
Sonia Ookubo

IC: I stopped in front of the door Murame had mentioned. "I am surprised no one attacked us on our way here. So this door right?" I looked over at her and she nodded. "Okay then." I pushed open the door breaking the paper seal. The three of us stepped into a dimly lit room with words painted on the back wall.

"So what now?"
 
Nanashi/Seki

I walked up to the door and looked up at the poem that was written on the far wall. The words all looked so familiar but I couldn't read it . . . I turned to Murame and Ookubo "warui . . . I can't read it . . . " I looked down and sighed, then sat down crossed legged thinking about what to do next. I heard footsteps and immediately looked over in the direction of the footsteps moving silently towards the group. I saw a group of three, one with white eyes, intriguing I thought, and one of them had green clothing, with an odd bowl cut. I watched them, for a moment and then turned back and noticed Murame was behind me I blinked in surprise and said "hey" softly.
 
Jin noticed that another group had come, Just in time, they were lucky we didn't start without them...But i remember there was another group that entered...With that beautiful girl...and that new kid. I helped them out. I wonder why they aren't here? thought Jin. He started stretching his arms and legs, getting prepared for the next exam.
 
Sonia Ookubo

IC: "Hello" I read threw the riddle a couple of times. "Well I am no master at riddles but I think I know what to do." Well at least I hope this works. I took the two scrolls and set them in front of me. You aren't aloud in the tower with out the two scrolls so we have less reason to worry about thieves. I looked at my team mates. "one of you needs to open this at the same time I open mine.
 
Nanashi/Seki

I nodded to Murame as I wandered back into the room that we came in at. "hai" I said and walked over picking up one of the scrolls looking at her, not quite sure what to do. I leafed open the part of the scroll and looked to her for confirmation.
 
Sonia Ookubo

IC: "heres hoping I am right?" I open and began to read the scroll out loud. The scroll flew from my hands to the earth scroll, a puff of smoke emerged and resided reveling a chunin. Crap I got us kicked out of the exams.

'Congratulations on passing.' Score we passed the second exam.
 
Nanashi/Seki

I nodded and opened the same time she did, and jump back in surprise as the smoke came out, pulling two kunai out I stood ready in defense but realized it was useless after the person gave us their congrats. I sighed, relieved and replaced the weapons. I asked the person "doko ikuka?" and got a response about having to wait for the hokage. So there we were lined up in front of our teachers, and in front of the Third Hokage.
