[[u]Kazuki Nameni[/u]]

Deep into the heart of the Forest of Death Kazuki woke with an aching pain in his back and several cuts, though neither of them deep, on his left arm. The sun was unable to penetrate the thick branches and leaves, leaving the place quiet, slightly dark and mysterious. His outfit was mostly tattered and took a moment to adjust to his wounds and later then slowly sat up straight, despite his back slightly filled with pain, and observed his injuries. After a moment of observation, Kazuki sighs.Thankfully, the wounds could easily be healed if he were to simply eat a pill - a green pill stored nicely within his pouch. The events earlier was nothing but a blur to Kazuki and simply shrugged. Seconds later, Kazuki's attention is caught by this strange, unpleasant odor filling the air around him. He turns and discovers the bodies of several ninjas wearing strange armor and one of his teammates - Chizu, laying on the ground perfectly still. Motionless.

Dead.

[[u]Kyo Yami[/u]]

Kyo kneeled and sat beside a small stream before taking his hands and placing both into the unusual cold water. The cool felt nice and for a moment he felt at ease before splashing his face once and thus turning his attention at nowhere in particular. The morning breeze calmed him once more before he stood up and gazed left and right. He along with Squad Eleven, the team consisting of Kyo, Renoit and Himari, were recently under attack by another team belonging to the Kirigakure. Kyo, however, single-handedly managed to hold them off while the others escaped with their Earth Scroll. An item necessary to enter the third and final stage of the Chuunin Exams. He began pondering over his options and wondered what to do. "Perhaps I should find my teammates first..." He muttered. "Or maybe track down the Kiri-Nin team that had ambushed us earlier and try to take their Heaven Scroll..." He added, triumphantly for no apparent reason.

[[u]Seni Madala[/u]]

Seni had been mumbling to himself for a while now. He'd been walking aimlessly in nowhere in particular for hours in hopes of running into his teammates. "Honestly..." He sighes. Just a day ago a battle between his team against another from Sunagakure had broken out and Seni got seperated from his fellow comrades during the chaos. Seni found it very hard to concentrate on anything but the events earlier. Their Heaven Scroll was forcefully taken by the Suna-Nin and left with nothing. Now he along with his allies must acquire both scrolls before proceeding to the third and final stage of the Chuunin Exams. And with only a day left, Seni calculated their chance of success and sighed deeply when of how low of a percentage it was. However, he remained optimistic and continued his search for his comrades.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye he saw movement behind several trees...

[[u]Kirimono Murusaga[/u]]

Kirimono found himself laying on his back in a small meadow clearing surrounded by bamboo forestry. It was a cool morning in the clearing, but there were no clouds overhead. He felt a slight pain behind his neck, as if someone had jabbed him there, and sat up straight. He turned left and right, his right hand rubbing the back part of his neck, and surveyed the area. Then it struck him. "Chizu...!" He thought, holding back his tears. He remembered what happened last night. They had been sneaking about and spying on several individuals dressed in strange armor. And before any of them realized they became ambushed. The other teammate of Kirimono's stayed behind and dealt with the attackers while Kirimono himself chased the person responsible for the death of poor Chizu, who was killed first during the sudden ambush. Kirimono didn't recall what happened next after that. Did he manage to confront the murderder? If so, what happened? Or did he simply fall asleep due to exhaustion...If that were true, where did he get the pain behind his neck? Kirimono had many questions pilling into his head as to what exactly happened. He shrugged and stood up slowly and pondered momentarily, taking a brief silence for Chizu. And just recently she became to like Kirimono and looked up to him...

A presence nearby suddenly alarmed Kirimono from his thoughts and became alert.

[[u]Hiroten Takahashi[/u]]

Hiroten, dashing quickly out of a forestry, hurried to escape from his trackers as he emerged into a small valley clearing. He stopped and spun around, his eyes focused towards the dense forestry. Had he managed to lose his trackers? Minutes went by and Hiroten finally relaxed. He simply assumed that he did and turned his head to his left side and had his arm reach into his pouch. He pulled out a scroll that read "Heaven Scroll", and smiled. Hiroten, with the help of his teammates, managed to swipe this from a Genin team from Iwagakure earlier before. He was being chased for well over an hour now by the Iwa-Nin and somehow managed to of lost his followers. Now they had both Heaven and Earth Scrolls and could now enter the third and final stage of the Chuunin Exams. Assuming that he can regroup with his teammates -- who have the other scroll, of course.

ooc: ....so why am i the only one without a secondary task? And who are my teammates? And are all our stories interrlated with another?

Hiroten stopped panting as he regained his breath, he than folded his arms and observed the surroundings the small valley was bordered with forestry. "Darn." Hiroten thought. "We manage to get both scrolls and then we lose eachother? Oh, well, I better go look for them he than began dashing forward heading for the forestry in front of him. Upon arriving he jumped from branch to branch, He often stopped an observed the surroundings seeing the occasional ninja and being stealthful, they had 2 scrolls, there was no need to dive in head first when you have the key to entering the final stage, onward he continued looking for any signs of his comrades.

[Magnet Soldier]

((Do I have the scroll? If I do, I'll just post as If I find it somewhere. You didn't say whether I had it or not.))

"Sh*t." Kazuki cursed, standing up slowly thanks to his wounds. "They were good. Wonder what village they were from." Kazuki surveyed the scene for a moment, looking at the two enemy bodies. They were wearing a strange armor, and both were heavily armed. Kazuki soon realised he wasn't carrying the Earth Scroll they had possessed, and quickly began searching the enemies for a scroll. He found one, but it was a summoning scroll and was ripped. Kazuki groaned, rubbing his left arm. Although the injuries weren't bad, they were many, and altogether made a large wound. "Cant believe I'm wasting this." Kazuki said, flinching as another streak of pain ran up his back. "But I'd better." Kazuki muttered, tossing a green pill into his mouth. He felt suddenly stronger. The cuts on his arm were still there, but were receding. Then he saw something that nearly made him choke. Lying on the floor, a bit away from the bodies of the enemy, was another body. A smallish figure, motionless on the floor. "Oh, god no." Kazuki said, quietly. He walked slowly up to the body, kneeling beside it. "Y'know, I was beggining to get attached to you two, now look what happened." Kazuki said, closing Chizu's eyes. He sighed and grabbed her spare Shuriken and Green pills. He'd used his last Shuriken in the fight, and He'd just eaten his last Green pill. He placed the shuriken in a small pouch on his right leg and put the green pills in a bag on his waist. He also noticed that Chizu didn't have the Earth scroll. "Crap. I'm gonna have to find Kirimono, and hope he has the scroll. Maybe he found Chizu's murderer aswell." Kazuki smiled, solemnly. He would laugh, but when your teamate is dead next to you and your other one you dont know where he is, it's not the time. "Nah. That Numbskull wont have got close." Kazuki rose to his feet, remembering the Ambush.

Chizu had been killed by a Kunai from the ninja's, and the one who threw it laughed and ran off. Kirimono, "The Imbecile," ran after him, and left Kazuki alone to deal with the other two Ninja's. Kazuki managed to get one of them Believing that his teammate was actually Kazuki, and started attacking him. However, after he'd kill his teamate, the Ninja realised what He'd done and turned on Kazuki. Kazuki dodged most of the blows from the ninja's Muramasa, and block the rest with his left arm, explaining the cuts. Kazuki tried to get behind the Ninja, but was surprised by a counter attack, and was thrown towards a tree nearby. Kazuki was nearly out of chakra, and defeated, but managed to distract the Ninja with a Shuriken attack. Then he used Genjutsu to Confuse the Ninja, and finished the ninja off with a fire style Jutsu. Then he fell unconcious from exhaustion.

Kazuki sighed as he remembered Chizu's surprised look when she was hit with the Kunai. "Why am I getting so attached to them?" Kazuki asked himself. "I'm a lone man, I hated being partnered with them, and Chizu always held me back. The only thing she was good at was the fact that she could use water style Jutsu, and was good at using senbon. She was a hold back, ignore her and get the two scrolls you need." Kazuki said, noticing something shine in the armor of one of the Ninja's. "What's that?"

((What is it that I find?))
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Stupid Idiots. Let the Heaven scroll get stolen from a couple of Suna-nin."

Seni sighed and stood up from the rock he was sitting on. He was totally exhausted, having just used his infamous [i]Ice Blade Technique[/i]. He was also annoyed. He was seperated from his teamates, who were bloodthirsty and so intent on killing their opponents they ran off without him, leaving him with the toughest of the group. He managed to just grabbed the Heaven scroll when it slipped out of Seni's pocket after the Suna-nin was being beaten. He managed to escape from Seni, and leave him lost. "Honestly, why do we have to have teamates?" Seni asked himself, sighing. He walked for a bit untill he came to a clearing. There were blood stains on the ground, but noone was there. He then realised where he was. "I'm back where the battle was!" He remembered, realising he'd gone full circle. He was cursing himself when he noticed movement in the bushes nearby. He slowly edged towards the bushes, casually, kunai reading in his pocket. As he got close to the bushes, he disappeared, reappearing behind whatever was in the bushes.

[BLUR]

OOC: Is secondary objective something you should do after a primary objective, or just an alternate choice

Kyo got up, he had made his decision. "I should probably go look for Renoit and Himari, because if I do manage to take the scroll from those Kirigakure ninjas, I would have to find them anyway. I have to also consider the fact that it would be simpler to fight three on three instead of one on three," Kyo thought aloud. "It's no surprise that those two would cause me this trouble, they might even be dead already for all I know," Kyo added. Kyo recalled his teammates last heading south. Kyo took off, jumping south tree branch after tree branch. He hoped that this way he wouldn't have to get into any unnecessary battles. After all, he didn't even have the earth scroll with him. "Then again, it could be worthwhile to fight someone strong to test my limits, but would I have the strength to keep on fighting afterwards?" Kyo thought. "No, I don't think I would, I should just take the cowards way for now, if I am to prove the Yami's true strength later...

[Ghoulish]

ooc: i'll ask again, why am i the only one without a secondary objective...and who are my teammates....and are all our stories inetrrelated.

Hiroten continued to dash from branch to branch, he often stopped picking up the scent of his comrades and following that direction, while soaring from branch to branch, his face looked slightly shocked as he descended to the ground and picked up a peice of clothing, Hiroten studied the clothing peice for a second. "No doubt, he began a battle recently took place here. I can't pick up the scent of my teammates...great this thing may have-wait a minute." Hiroten looked forward with eagerness. he than began sprinting forward jumping from tree to tree, "is that them? It has to be, Darn they better still have the Earth scroll..."

[Ghoulish]

ooc: i guess i'll post again get closer to acheiving my objective...evn though i dont know if im supposed to make up where they are and how they are, u need to explain it better champster

At a rapid speed Hiroten dashed from branch to branch occasionaly leaping over the sudden dispropotioned branch. hiroten stopped as he once again sensed the presence of his team mates. "Their closer, i can ffeel it this way!" he thought to hismelf as he dashed forward reminding himself he still possessed the heaven scroll. Hiroten dashed forward, He suddenly stooped, in a slightly open part of the forest with quite a large area surrounded by trees and bushes, he saw 2 figures appearing to look for someone as they began calling out. "Hiroten!" one was clearly a male and the other was a female. 'There they are!" Hirroten called as he dashed on.

[Champster]

[[u]Kazuki Nameni[/u]]

Kazuki kneeled with one knee and slowly grabbed the object he found interesting. "A kunai?" He said aloud, his eyebrows knitting. This kunai however was different then the average ones. It had strange markings all over it and remembered seeing it from somewhere. Someone he was fond of, someone who had been teaching them. "Amagai-Sensei's kunai!" He thought, finally remembering who it belonged to. As he turned his head, he saw the customised kunai everywhere, including poor Chizu's chest that had been sticking out. "I-It couldn't be..." He whispered, his eyes widening. Was it Kazuki's sensei that had killed Chizu? If so, why? Questions began to pill up inside Kazuki's head as he thought of next on what to do...

[[u]Kyo Yami[/u]]

Kyo had made up his mind. Dashing quickly through the dense forest from tree limb to limb Kyo would try and find his teammates before doing something rashly, such as attacking a team of Genin head on alone. He would avoid people from battling to save his strength for later on. A wise decision, He'd thought. After several minutes he could sense several individuals ahead. Were they his teammates or someone else? An enemy, perhaps? Kyo wasn't sure and proceeded cautiously. He dropped down from above without a single noise at all and hid behind several bushes. "This isn't exactly the best place to meet up, with all these Genin's around..." A man spoke dressed in strange armor. "It couldn't be helped. These are our orders from our master" Said another. Just then, Kyo could see a small boy coming out from the dense forestry. It took a moment, but Kyo realized who he was and uttered one word, "Seiro?!". Seiro was one of Kyo's teammates from Squad Five, a team consisting of him, Seiro and Hana. [i]But what was Seiro doing with these strange men[/i], Kyo thought, [i]and why[/i].

[[u]Hiroten Takahashi[/u]]
Misaki, a girl around Hiroten's age but shorter, smiled as she saw a familiar face coming towards them. "Hiroten!" She sighed with relief. She cared about her teammates and respected them. She was raised like that -- gentle, kind and a caring individual -- but does tend to become easily angered. "Glad to see you in one piece, Hiroten. I was afraid they might of killed you and mutilated your corpse..." Said Numaru, jokingly. Numaru was a bit harsh, optimistic about most things and never seems to care things but his objectives, teammates and missions he's assigned on. He'll occasionally make jokes but Misaki don't consider them funny at all. He was taller then Hiroten. Hiroten jumped down from above and landed with a small thud. "So, I assume that you still have it? the scroll?" Numaru asked, curiously. "Of course he still has it, Numaru ya idiot" Misaki spoke, her voice raised as she gave Numaru a slight punch on the shoulders. "No one can beat Hiroten..." She would smile and blush as her tone became soft and polite.

[[u]Seni Madala[/u]]

Seni moved at rapid speeds and appeared behind someone, or rather [i]something[/i]. "A cat?!" He said, lowering his kunai. The creature simply shrieked at the appearance of Seni and ran off, scared. He would cuss to himself for getting all worked up for this small creature and placed his weapon away. Seni couldn't help but chuckle a bit. Suddenly, something hissed at Seni from behind. It wasn't Seni that made the cat frightened, it was something huge and slithering about. Seni became alert as his eyes quickly narrowed and spun around, his hand now holding a kunai. All he could see in the darkness of the dense forest were two reptilian-like eyes staring at Seni like he was nothing but a meal to it. Then it striked. Its mouth opened wide and fangs came out and tried to eat him up. However, Seni proved to be the fastest and moved out of the way in time. Seni skidded back, entering a small clearing. He nearly stumbled as he stopped but managed to balance himself and stood back up. The large snake, over twenty feet long and 5 feet wide hissed at Seni and slithered towards him. It stopped and raised its head high, its tongue occasionally sticking in and out.

Then it struck again. It spat out large amounts of liquid towards Seni at blinding speeds. And at the same time, its tail dug into the ground beneath it. "Acid?!" Seni thought, quickly thinking of what to do next...

OOC: Wait I have two teams?

Kyo didn't want to have an trouble for no reason, so instead of confronting Seiro he stayed behind the bush to listen in on the strange men. "What are these people up to?" Kyo thought. "And why the hell would Seiyo be with them, wheres his teammates." "Is it possible these men aren't Genin? How did they get here then?" Kyo thought. "If it turns out that these guys discover me here, could I beat them?" Kyo smirked devilishly "Yes, yes I can, but I'd rather not have to resort to that, they probably don't have either scrolls." So Kyo began listening to their conversation.

[Magnet Soldier]

Seni gaped at the Snake, only just gathering himself in time to dodge the Snake's attack. "Crap." Seni cursed, wishing he was with the cat. He suddenly realised what the cat had got all worked up about. It wasn't Seni at all, it was a Giant snake rearing up to attack Seni. The Large, bulging eye's were staring at Seni, waiting for a move, readying itself to dodge. "You wont escape." Seni muttered, jumping on the snake's head. But instead of attacking the snake, he ran down it's back, forcing it to twist itself. Seni did this for a while, untill the Snake had knotted itself up.

Snake: Health: 40?
Status: -Attack & Speed

"Now then, how do you feel now, reptillian imbecile." Seni smirked, preparing a Jutsu. "Water Release: Shark Tooth Technique!" Seni Cried, about 20 frozen spikes appearing behind him, heading towards the Snake.

((Kazuki's going to pick up the scroll now, as you are implying he has one.

Kazuki stumbled, throwing the Kunai to the floor, as if it was diseased. "The old man. He couldn't have, no way." Kazuki stated, gobsmacked. His sensei was the only person Kazuki had ever looked up to, being a master in Genjutsu like Kazuki. "But, he was great. He was a great man, good, not evil. He wouldn't betray the Village. I was much colder than him, much more heartless, and I would never betray the village, so why would he?" Kazuki looked around and was about to run when he fell over something on the floor. "The Scroll!" Kazuki shouted, making him miss a hissing noise to the north of him. "Thank god, some good fortune at last!" Kazuki smiled as he picked up the scroll and stuffed it in one of the pouches on his chest. He then ran off into the forest, grabbing a blood-stained Kunai as he left, drapping it carefully into a pouch as proof for Kirimono when Kazuki found him.

[Kōsuke Ueki]

After some looking in his pouch, Kirimono had realized something. "Damnit." he cursed under his breath. "I must have dropped the scroll after I went unconscious." He then sighed. "Maybe Kazuki has it. If I'm gonna cover more ground, I might need some help." He then began to make hand signs for his Jutsu. "Shadow Clone Technique!" Just then, two clones of him appeared in front of him side by side. He looked towards his left-side clone. "You head Northwest..." He then looked at his right-side clone. "...you head Northeast..." He then pointed to himself. "...and I'll head North, supposedly where Kazuki might be. If any of you find anything useful, return to my body so I can get the full report." The two clones nodded as they both dashed in their commanded directions, as Kirimono headed North. [i]Whoever had killed you, Chizu, I promise that you will be avenged.[/i]

[Ghoulish]

Misaki and numaru had been re united with Hiroten. Hiroten smiled lightly at Misaki's comment. "I wish" he said. "Im glad you'se are both fine, now how about wwe get these to the towerr yea?" The 3 nodded as they then headed for the centre of the forest of death, jumping from branch to branch they coninued to pursue their goal of passing the chuunin exams. Hiroten was imensly happy that his friends were unharmed and uninjured, it would make ther task alot easier that they're all in tip top fighting condition

"These are the blueprints our master required" Seiro spoke, handing over a bunch of documents to the strange men in armor. "These weren't exactly easy to obtain..." He added. "You have made the Order proud today, Seiro. Master will reward you greatly for your efforts" Said the man who stepped forward and took the documents himself. The other remained cautious and surveyed the area for any signs of intruders. Thankfully Kyo was a skillful individual in the arts of stealth. He began to wonder where Hana was and was she safe. Kyo wasn't sure at all. This made him worry. Hana wasn't skilled as Seiro or Kyo, but she had her usefulness when teamed together with Seiro and Kyo. "What are you plotting, Seiro..." Kyo murmured. "I should be heading back" Said Seiro, plainly. He turned and proceeded to enter the forest from whence he came from. "Don't let your foolish teammates know about us, Seiro. Or what you are and whom you take orders from" The man warned, his tone becoming serious. "The Order will not tolerate any delays so lightly..." He added. Seiro merely scoffed and vanished into the darkness of the dense forest. The men in strange armor turned and went to the opposite direction.
Kyo pondered on what to do next. Follow the armored men and confront them, ask Seiro about what all that was about or act casually as if he didn't overhear what happened...

[[u]Kazuki Nameni[/u]]

Kazuki was still unsure of himself whether or not to blame Amagai-Sensei. [i]If he had killed her just last night, then what was he doing here in the first place[/i], Kazuki thought, [i]and he was with those armored men, too[/i]. The death of Chizu struck a devestating blow to Kazuki, but nevertheless pressed onward. Someone had to pay and that someone was Chizu's murderer. And the only other way to found out more was to look for Kirimono, Kazuki's other teammate. Kirimono, after all, was chasing after Chizu's murderer. Wasting not a single moment Kazuki hurried as he dashed through towards where he last saw them heading towards west of his current position. "Kirimono, what exactly happened..." He thought, his teeth clenched together. "And did you get him or her?". As he neared a clearing Kazuki could sense a familiar presence nearby. "Kirimono...?" He uttered as he emerged out of the forest and into the clearing.

In the center of the clearing, there stood a boy roughly around Kazuki's height and Kazuki called out to him, "Kirimono...!?". Drawing closer towards him, Kazuki smiled at the familiar face, who had his back turned, and tapped him on his shoulder. The boy didn't flinch or even moved at all. This made Kazuki suspicious and carefully moved around to face the boy. "A Puppet!?" He spoke, slightly taken aback by this unexpected turn of events. He then soon noticed a small hissing noise coming from this thing and gasped. Paper bombs were attached underneath its clothing and ignited, causing a small-scale explosion that would kill those near it. Luckily for Kazuki someone had pulled him away from the explosion in time, only suffering minor burnt injuries on his right arm. He looked up and couldn't believe his eyes.

"Amagai-...Sensei" Kazuki uttered.

[Seni Madala]

The giant Boa had entangled itself up. It merely hissed angrily as Seni called out his techniques' name. Just then a multitude of frozen spikes instantly appeared behind Seni, and as quick as they appeared they blasted themselves hurling towards the snarled up Snake. With a simple movement, the tail, which had dug underneath the ground earlier, moved abruptly creating multiple barrier-like rocks around the Boa in a defensive manner. Only a handful of Seni's frozen spikes made it through the cracks and penetrated the scales of the Snake. It hissed even more as it began to untangle itself. Cleary Seni had made it more angrier. "Clever snake..." Said Seni, complimenting his slithering foe for creating the rock-like barriers. Seni had seconds before the Boa would be able to free itself and attack at him with its full strength. Seni could see it was getting tired. That last move required a lot of fatigue, even for a creature that size. Seni however suddenly felt he wasn't alone. Well, besides the Boa trying to eat him, of course. He could feel he was being watched. Someone was observing his fighting styles and strategies from behind the scenes.

[Kirimono Murusaga]

After the clones had vanished, Kirimono made himself a promise to avenge Chizu. Without a moment to lose he proceeded to dash forward in hopes of finding Kazuki, his other teammate. Perhaps with the Shadow Clones and himself he would be able to triple his chances of finding him. After several minutes the Shadow Clone heading northeast stopped in its tracks and scanned the area. Someone or something had been watching him for a while now. With a quick grab of its kunai it threw it towards where he had seen a figure, trying to make him or her jump out into the open. This little stunt failed as the figure faded away into the darkness of the forest. It could just make itself disappear, which in turn would inform the real Kirimono of what was happening. But that information wouldn't be much use to him if the Shadow Clone couldn't find out who or what was spying on him. A strange, cracking noise bellowed out from behind the Clone and he spun around to see a man dressed in strange armor surfacing from the ground below. The armored man had just struck a sword into the Clone's stomach and exploded in a puff of smoke. The events just now were transfered back into the real Kirimono and stopped.

Just then a small-scale explosion caught Kirimono's attention just ahead.

[Hiroten Takahashi]

Reunited with his teammates at last Hiroten and the rest of Squad Eleven proceeded to the center of the Forest of Death. There stood a large tower that would enable the Squad to finish the second stage of the Chuunin Exams and would be able to enter the third and final stage of the event. "Hiroten..." Said Misaki, slightly nervous. "I'm so glad that you're safe" She added. She held back her tears and wiped the ones that manage to escape from her beautiful brown eyes. This made Numaru slightly uncomfortable and sighed deeply. "Misaki, he's fine..." He whispered, though the two of them could hear him clearly. As they neared the center Hiroten noticed the tower overhead. "We're getting close" Said Hiroten, simply. Numaru merely scoffed and replied, "Well of course we are. I saw that already a minute ago". This made Hiroten chuckle lightly, yet nervously. Dropping down from above the three stood beside the tower and were facing a large metal door. Numaru, acting bravely, proceeded ahead and opened. The doors creaked as they opened and the empty room lit up. Misaki drew close toward Hiroten and walked right behind him, her hands holding onto his sleeves.

"Congratulations on completing the second stage!" A voice boomed over the room and in the center appeared a Jounin belonging to the Leaf Village. His outfit was that of a Jounin's and had his headband around his neck. He was tall, mascular built but seemed one of those lazy-type individuals. "Now, if you would..." He said, his hand extended. "The scolls?" He added.

"I see now, Seiro, that you are hiding many secrets," Kyo thought. He knew that he should have just pretended that he never heard what he did so he could just regroup with Seiro and Hana to find the second scroll and move one to the next stage, but Kyo knew that he had to pay much closer attention to Seiyo from now on. "Damn it! I'm just wasting time like this! But what should I do? I guess I'll have to let Seiyo get away with whatever he is planning for a little longer, but after that Seiyo, I'm coming for you," Kyo mumbled to himself. He took off to where he just saw Seiyo heading to. "If I run, it will take me less than a minute to catch up to Seiyo, so be it," Kyo said. "Seiyo, if what you are involved in has any harm to my advancing to a chunin, I will have no mercy on you, I will kill you slowly and painfully," Kyo thought.

[Kōsuke Ueki]

After hearing the explosion up ahead, Kirimono telepathically informs the remaining Shadow Clone to head to the area where the other Shadow Clone appeared. The Clone nodded and dashed West towards the location. Kirimono then began to head towards the location of the explosion. It was only a few minutes away. And maybe he might find Kazuki there as well. But as of now, everything is still a mystery to him, regardless of what information's been given to him at the time.

[Ghoulish]

Hiroten looked at namaru, the 2 then nodded at ech other as Namaru gave Hiroten the Earth scroll, Hiroten then took out the heaven scroll he was holding and looked towards Misaki, who smiled in comfort and relief as they had completed the chuunin exams 2nd last stage. Hiroten took the 2 scrolls and handed them to the jounin ninja who took them both. Hiroten than walked back and stood next to his companions, Misaki moved slightly closer to Hiroten causing Namaru to sigh. "So, we passed right?" Namaru asked in slight frustration. Hiroten and Misaki looked on eagerly waiting the response. Hiroten then folded his arms, "How many other teams have maded."

[Champster]

[[u]Kirimono Murusaga[/u]]

The Shadow Clone dashed quickly toward where Kirimono had mentioned telepathically, while he himself decided to check what exactly was happening just over the horizon. Just earlier an explosion peaked his interest and couldn't help but investigate. Perhaps he were to find Kazuki there. As the Clone neared where the other disappeared, it dropped to four limbs and hid. He could see two armored men walking side by side, talking to each other. They didn't notice Kirimono's clone at all. "He killed her? His own student?" Said one of the armored man. "Yeah, I believe her name was Mizuki or Chizu or something..." Said the other. The Clone now had information regarding Chizu's murderer -- Amagai -- An individual who grew attached to his three students despite how little they spent together as a team. Kirimono's Shadow Clone disappeared, allowing the real one to gain information of what the armored men had just said. Kirimono, who had been running towards where the explosion occured, stopped and couldn't believe what he had just learned. "Amagai-...Sensei?" He thought. This possibly couldn't be true. Their very mentor had slain his own student in cold-blood.

Kirimono didn't know what to do or think, but something told him to press onward and find out what happened just ahead.

[[u]Kyo Yami[/u]]

Kyo vowed to watched Seiro cautiously now that he revealed his true indentity -- A spy working for some mysterious organzation -- and would never let his guard down around him or let him out of his sight. He would watch and observe Seiro, letting things play itself out until the right moment. Then he would strike, without showing any mercy to his teammate. He followed after Seiro in hopes of running into Hana, their other comrade. And after a few leaps and quick dashes there he arrives where both Seiro and Hana were standing idly near a small pond. It was quiet and the sun was almost reaching its highest point during the day. "Kyo!" Hana screamed in delight as soon as she saw him. Seiro simply turned toward the direction Kyo came from and smiled. "Glad to have you back, Kyo" Seiro spoke politely. He was charming, but Kyo could see it right through him. A deceitful individual whose sole purpose was to leak out information to his organization. Kyo sighed deeply and mustered up all the strength from punching the guy and smiled. "Kyo, you simply won't believe what happened. Seiro here managed to grab a scroll from these Genins dressed in strange armor!" Hana exclaimed. She was an energetic person, had a tendancy to overeact and easily suprised by things.

"Yes. While you had our backs covered as we ran off we were confronted by these armored Genin and took their scroll. Now we have both" Seiro smiled, his hand raised and extended it. He held the second scroll and they could now enter the third and final stage of the Chuunin Exams. Kyo wasn't surprised at all. Seiro had been a weak person from the start. He was kind and polite, but was afraid to act bravely and shy at most times. But this was probably a ruse to deceive people around him. People like poor Hana who cared about Seiro due to his personality and what she calls him [i]adorable[/i]. "Shall we proceed to the tower located within the center of the Forest of Death?" Seiro smiled even more as he lowered his arm and placed the scroll back into his pouch. His glasses shimmered brightly as the sun had reached its highest point in the sky. A clear sign that it was in the afternoon. "Lets go!" Said Hana, cheerfully.

[Hiroten Takahashi]

After receiving the two scrolls the Jounin instructed the three of them to wait while he checked if they were real or not. With a single hand seal the Jounin then uttered one word, "Release!". He opened and read the contents of the scrolls and smiled. "You pass!" the Jounin said, his smile never faded. Misaki, who didn't do much but heal her teammates during these past four days whenever they were injured, smiled happily. "Sweet!" Said Numaru, punching the air in excitement. "Other then you three there has only been one team who made this far" the Jounin added, though he didn't want to give out more details any further then that. Or rather, he couldn't since he didn't which other team made it to the third stage. As the Genin cheered for completing the second stage a familiar individual appeared before them in a puff of smoke sort-of-fashion. "Yo" The newly appeared Jounin spoke calmly towards his students, his hand waving once at them. "Hatori-Sensei!" Misaki smiled to see her Sensei after these four brutal days within the Forest of Death. "We made it, Hatori-Sensei!" Numaru answered. Hiroten stood there, rejoicing with his teammates.

The Jounin earlier disappeared and was off to his other duties while Hatori remained behind. Hatori was in his mid-twenties and short for his height, but was muscular in built. His hair was black and spiky, much like the famous Kakashi Hatake from the Leaf Village, and had all sorts of weapons strapped around his back. Hatori has a distinctive scar across his face which he has had since childhood, and had brown eyes. He would become serious during battles but remained calm and collected whenever he's not. He was a humorous man and often showed compassion to his friends and enemies alike. He wore his headband around his waist like a belt buckle. "I know its kinda early, since you guys just finished the second stage and probably want to rest, but I was able to speak with Konoha's Hokage and they granted us to use one of their training fields" Said Hatori, calm and stood firm. "More training?" Moaned Misaki. "Awesome" Smiled Numaru. "Yes. You three have passed and should train some more before the third stage begins" Hatori added, chuckingly lightly. "Or, you could take a little rest and go back to the Leaf Village" Said Hatori. "I vote for take a little rest" Misaki replied with her hand raised. "Training!" Numaru shouted, thrilled. "Its up to you, Hiroten. I don't mind either way" Hatori finally added. They all looked at him and waited patiently for his answer.

"Wow, great job Seiro. Now how did you all of a sudden get the strength to defeat three nin all by yourself?" Kyo asked. Seiyo just looked at him, not knowing why he was saying this. Kyo sighed, "Nevermind I guess this forest is making me crazy, lets just finish this stupid stage." Both Seiyo and Hana agreed. "As soon as this stage is finished," Kyo thought, "I will confront Seiyo and make him answer my questions truthfully. And I guess I might have to tell Hana about him at that period too." Kyo smirked, "If things go badly, I can just kill both of these weaklings so I don't have to get myself in any drama or any unnecessary trouble," Kyo thought. Kyo despised fighting weak ninjas like his teammates, but he might have no choice later on, he just hoped Hana wouldn't defend Seiyo, or he would kill her too.

[Magnet Soldier]

Kazuki smirked and turned around to face a familiar face. "Amagai-sensei." Kazuki simply stated, chakra emanating from him. Just as he faced Amagai, staring into the face that was once the only face he'd ever looked up at, he vanised. When he appeared, he held a Kunai to Amagai's throat, but was looking away intot eh tree's his other hand outstreched to face the direction he was looking another Kunai in it. "Stop playing games Sensei. I know this is a Genjutsu. Two reasons why really. Number one is because you dont use Shadow clones, they aren't your style. And number two, I can tell when someone's using a Genjutsu. You know my clan, and the powers I have." Kazuki smirked and flicked his wrist, lopping the head off the fake Amagai. "Remember this Kunai." Kazuki asked, throwing the Kunai into a tree Next to where Amagai was hidden.

Seni Knew he was being watched, but ignored it. He didn't want to give away any secrets, so he was just going to use Taijutsu. It was only an over grown snake, and he was the best Taijutsu User to have ever Graduated from The hidden mist village. "Die Snake." Seni laughed, throwing three Shuriken at the Snake, also ap[pearing on top of the Snake, about to stab it in the eye.

[Ghoulish]

Hiroten looked at his comrades for a brief second, it was up to him to come up witht the decision, trasin, or rest, he looked at Mizuki and stated. "Mizuki, i'm sorry bu that stage olf the chuunin exams was one of the hardestordeals ive put myself through, if we want to pass the nexxt stag, we need to train. I'm all for training sensei." Hiroten replied as Numaru smirked happy over hirotens choice. Hiroten looked towards mizuki who remained her cheerful self. Hiroten clenched his fists in excitement, he wanted to get stronger, and this ewas the way to do it. "Whenever your ready sensei."

[Kōsuke Ueki]

Kirimono advanced forward to where the explosion took place, which was in fact the same direction of where he was fighting. He then began to think. "Amagai-Sensei, but how? I don't believe it, I never will!" His mind was racing, in denial of what had happened to Chizu. As he made it to the area of the explosion, he stopped, thinking that someone might be expecting him. He jumped up into a tree above him and looked at the area. It showed a black spot in the middle of the area where the explosion took place. Some smoke was still emanating from it. After a few minutes of looking, he believed that he was alone. He jumped down and walked through the area. After looking at the explosion site, he concluded that this explosion was caused by a paper bomb, lit and detonated by a chakra fuse. It might have exploded next to someone, someone who got in the way of it out of nowhere. He then looked at how the rubble was positioned and realized that someone a few feet to his front might have been impacted by the explosion, killing him/her instantly if very weak. He then moved his face forward.

Just then, Kirimono saw something he wished he didn't want to see: the body of Chizu. As he walked up to it in tears, he bent down towards it, checking for a possible pulse. Before that, though, he thought, [i]Who...who did this to you Chizu? Who caused this!?[/i] Then, strangely, he felt a very small pulse on her neck. She was alive, but barely. Holding back anymore tears, Kirimono sighed as he made a smile. "Thank you." he said to himself. He then saw a kunai next to her head. He picked it up and observed it. He then made a conclusion. Amagai-Sensei DID attempt to kill Chizu. Forcefully gripping the kunai in anger, Kirimono threw it against a tree. He then looked at Chizu. "Don't worry, Chizu, I'll find Amagai-Sensei and get my answers." He then lifted her up and began to dash Northwest, the direction leading to the center of the Forest of Death. [i]Why, Amagai-Sensei, why?[/i]

[Champster]

[Kazuki Nameni]

Amagai, hidden behind a tree, merely smiled at the thought of what Kazuki had said about noticing this being Genjutsu. He was indeed talented and Kazuki's Sensei couldn't be more proud of his students. The kunai struck the tree where Amagai hid and without having to look at it he knew exactly what Kazuki was talking about. He turned and leaned his back against the tree and frowned the moment he remembered Chizu and what he did to her just yesterday. "Its better if neither Kazuki nor Kirimono didn't find out..." He mumbled, biting onto one of his thumbs lightly momentarily. He sighed deeply and swallowed up his guilt and knew what to do next. "So, I guess I've been found out..." He said, his voice slightly echoing throughout the clearing. He stepped out of hiding and dropped down from above. Dust kicked off as he landed with a soft thud and slowly rose and stood firm. "Eh, Kazuki...?" Amagai added as he smiled at his student.

He walked at a slow pace, closing the distance between the two. He eventually came into a halt from proceeding any further and glared at Kazuki with his red eyes piercing into Kazukis'. His skin was slightly pale and wore dark clothing with a black jacket that had long coattails. His messy blue hair fluttered with the wind as a part of his bangs fell between his eyes. "I'm curious as to what will you do next, Kazuki" Kazuki's Sensei said, calmly. He was different then before. He was kind, cool and collected and shared a bond with his students. Now he seemed to be toying with Kazuki, taunting him as if he were to try and provoke Kazuki into attacking him. But he knew too well this wouldn't work on him. "I suppose you have several questions, Kazuki. Please, let us talk like we use to back when we were still Sensei and student" He added. Kazuki couldn't believe what he had heard. Its as if his Sensei was implying that they were now enemies.

[Seni Madala]

The large snake hissed at Seni even more when the kunai's had hit its target. However before Seni could stab it it flinched and twitched uncontrollably, causing him to lose his balance and fall off from the giant creature. Seni managed to land on his feet and backed away, watching the snake as it began to flee away from him. Clearly it had underestimated Seni. He smirked for a moment and turned to the direction where he had heard a rustle and told whoever was watching him to come on out. "I know you're there" He said, his eyes focused on one particular spot where he saw movement behind several trees. A Genin from Tsuchigakure slowly walked out from his spot, proceeding with caution. "Y-You managed to repel that giant snake..." Said the brown-haired boy. "It was nothing" Seni boasted. "Now then, why are you here spying on me" He added, his eyes narrowing. "M-my teammates w-were killed by that s-snake..." He answered, stammering a bit. "So?" Replied Seni, uninterested in hearing out the Tuschi-Nin. He reached deep into his pouch and pulled out a scroll. "Here, you deserve this". In his hand he held one of the two scrolls needed to enter the third stage of the event. Seni pondered for a moment. "This seems too good to be true..." He thought. "I have been chasing that snake for two days now trying to avenge my friends...but you killed it. So here, take this scroll. I don't need it" He added, insisting Seni on taking the scroll from him. Seni had suspicions about the boy and his [i]story[/i].

[Kyo Yami]

Seiro narrowed his eyes momentarily and glanced at Kyo for a brief second. But before anyone could notice his glare he quickly turned facing the direction where the center of the Forest of Death was located and spoke casually, "It should only take us about a few minutes to reach the tower" He explained, pushing his glasses lightly from falling off. He raised his arm and extended his index finger pointing towards where the tower stood. "Lets go" He said, though it sounded more like a command. This made Hana slightly uneasy and felt this tension between the two. "Whats going on...?" She whispered softly under her breath. Seiro took the lead and jumped onto a tree nearby, motioning both Hana and Kyo to follow him. Hana hesitated for a moment but shrugged and went after him. Kyo soon followed and kept his distance from Seiro and never let him out of his sight. As they jumped and leaped from tree to tree Seiro looked over his shoulder and saw Kyo eying him. "Whats wrong, Kyo? You have been staring at me for a while now" He asked, curious. Kyo stammered for a bit but managed to answer him quickly, "N-Nothing. I'm just surprised you were able to handle all three Genin at once". This made Seiro smile and chuckled lightly. "I see..." He said, plainly. He turned his head forward and paid attention at the large structure ahead. "There it is!" Hana smiled.

The three jumped down from above and landed right beside the large metal doors. Seiro took a step forward and pushed the doors lightly, causing them to creak as they opened. The room was empty, dim and dark. The sunlight coming from the open doors were bouncing off from the floors and onto the ceilings and were the only source of light within the room. "Hello?" Hana spoke as she and her teammates scanned the room. Just then the lights turned on and a Jounin abruptly appeared in front of them. "Miharu-Sensei!" The female Genin exclaimed. The Jounin was tall and muscular in built. He had a bit of a messy short grey hair and had a strange contraption strapped around his back. He was tanned since he had been living in Sunagakure for the rest of his life and wore customized clothing. As Seiro reached into his pouch Miharu, Squad Five's Sensei, told him it was not necessary. "I already believed you guys could make it here. And besides why else would you come here without the scrolls" Miharu smiled. He was a polite individual, but harsh to those who were his enemies or who he despised. He always remained calm and collected but would become serious during battles. "Take the rest of the day off. I'm sure you've earned it" Miharu ordered. Seiro and Hana both nodded and dashed off towards the Hidden Leaf. But not before Seiro giving Kyo this strange look. This made Miharu curious. As the two disappeared Miharu stopped Kyo from going anywhere and asked, "Whats troubling you, Kyo? Is there something the matter?".

Misaki moaned yet again, but probably thought it would be for the best if they did train. "Oh well, it can't be helped" She sighed. Hatori merely laughed and suggested that she pick up some food for the team. "We'll be at training grounds seven, Misaki" Hatori said. With a simple nod and a farewell wave she dashed off to the Hidden Leaf to gather some food for her teammates. Numaru meanwhile was pumped and ready for anything, despite just finishing the second stage of the Chuunin Exams. "Lets go already!" Numaru ordered as he ran off towards nowhere in particular. "Its the other way!" Hatori chased after him in a comical fashion. Hiroten smiled and went after them. The team was back together again and they were now all focused on training to further their skills as ninjas. After catching Numaru somewhere within the Forest of Death the three were now at the training grounds just outside of the Hidden Leaf. Numaru had been told to punch a tree bark until he could no longer feel any pain, a difficult task indeed. Hiroten meanwhile was sitting down and meditating on the ground while his Sensei had continually been stacking pebbles on his head, which also proved to be difficult. "Hatori-Sensei, why am I doing this again" Hiroten asked, trying his best to balance the pebbles stacked on his head but failed and every single one fell. "You're not suppose to balance it with your body, but with your mind" Hatori answered. "You mean Hiroten has telekineses powers?" Misake spoke as she emerged out of a forestry and entered the training grounds.

"Thats not exactly what I meant-..." Hatori replied but was rudely interrupted by Numaru. "You mean he can move stuff with his mind?". "No! And that's basically the same thing!" Hatori shouted in a comical fashion. He sighed and continued, "Lets take a break and eat since Misaki brought our meals". The three nodded in agreement and sat down on the ground in a circle facing one another. Numaru gobbled down his meal without any effort and went back to his training; punching a tree until he could no longer feel any pain. "Ow ow ow ow ow..." Said Numaru after delivering each punch. Misaki couldn't help but giggle at this. After the three had finished there meals Hatori stood up and spoke, "Lets try this again, Hiroten. What I meant about the mind was your chakra. Try to balance the pebbles with your chakra, which in turn would increase your effectiveness in chakra control" He explained. Misaki watched in great interest as Hiroten began to meditate whilst his Sensei started placing pebbles on his head.

[Kirimono Murusaga]

Kirimono, holding Chizu with both hands, was grateful that she was alive. Why just yesterday she had been struck by a kunai from their very Sensei and had been left to die. She was bleeding but Kirimono stopped it temporarily. He wasn't much of a medic but he realized she must of had a Green Pill stored within her pouch. As he searched with his free hand into her pouch whilst holding her he couldn't find anything but personal items. He remembered Chizu had a healing technique and could easily heal her wounds but could not for the life of her move or even speak. She was slowly slipping into unconsciousness and Kirimono tried many things to keep her awake. "Hang on, Chizu. You'll be fine" He said, smiling at her. She mostly had her eyes closed but every now and then opened them for a brief moment. "Amagai-Sensei...has some explaining to do..." He growled quietly to himself as he looked up and saw a small clearing overhead. Before emerging out into the clearing Kirimono stopped and observed the area ahead and made sure it was safe to proceed. If he were to get attacked now he would clearly be at a disadvantage. He surveyed the area and from the looks of things saw two figures face one another. As he focused on the two he quickly recognized them and gasped. "Kazuki! And Amagai-Sensei!!" He thought to himself, dropping to his knees slowly and placed Chizu gently down on the ground. "Kiri-...mono..." Chizu whispered softly but lost unconsciousness. Kirimono could barely hear her since he was focused on the two figures.

Kirimono, confused about what is being seen, at first thought of confronting the two, but thought Chizu came first, since he cared about her safety too much to leave her out of his sight. [i]I almost lost you once, and I'm not gonna let that happen again![/i] he thought. Since he was very vague on what to do with her wounds, he had no choice but to confront Kazuki and Amagai-Sensei. So he lifted Chizu up and placed her by a nearby tree. Kirimono then gave a cold look towards Amagai-Sensei. "You!" he yelled as he pointed towards Amagai. "You almost killed Chizu. Why is that? Answer me!" He was furious, wanting answers. He then summoned a Shadow Clone that appeared right next to Chizu, so nobody can take her away without him knowing. He then began to slowly walk towards Amagai, enraged by the very action of trying to kill one of his very students for possibly no reason whatsoever.

"There might be something wrong, and it is troubling me, but I'm going to talk to Seiyo about it" Kyo replied. "No disrespect to you, Miharu-sensei, but it's between him and I." Miharu nodded. Miharu knew that he shouldn't get in Kyo's way, because Kyo would fight him if he would. Kyo himself knew he wasn't at Miharu's level yet, but he would try to kill him anyway if he got in his way. He thanked his sensei, then went to Konahagakure. "Seiyo is suspicious of me, I can easily tell, he believes I know something. Now it's time for me to find out the truth, and if it's what I expect, then say your final prayers Seiyo," Kyo thought. When he finally reached Konoha, which didn't take too long, he immediately began searching for Seiyo. Kyo wondered if he would even be able to find him, but he needed to confront him alone. But his wishes would not come true. Hana had been following Kyo from the moment he came into Konoha. Kyo kept on searching, until finally, near a remote area on the outskirts of Konoha, he found him. He was standing next to a river, staring at it. "So you finally came, Kyo," Seiyo said noticing Kyo's chakra. "Seiyo, I saw you speaking to those armored nin about an order and how you would do them proud, and also that you shouldn't let your teammates know. Well your teammate found out, so tell me who those nin were, and if they have anything to do with me, be aware that I won't hesitate to kill you..."

"Chakra control is essential for your Kekkei Genkei," Hatori began as he folded his arms while talking to Hiroten who stood next to Namaru and Mizuki. "To be able to prolong a Kekkei Genkei can eb the determinent to a successful battle." Hiroten looked at his hands then looked up, "Right let's continue!" Hiroten then sat down with his legs crossed. Hatori then placed a pebble on his head, the pebble didn't seem to wobble, as he placed a second it could be seen in Hiroten's face that he started to put more effort into it as the difficulty increased. As the third was placed it lkooked as if it was certain to fall, however hiroten only just managed to keep them standing. Hatori smiled as he saw the chakra flow in Hiroten, much of the chakraa was flowing through is head, this was a difficuult control technique as the head can only sustain control for so long. hatori then slwoly placed the fourth on causing all the rocks to fall after a brief 2 seconds. Hiroten panted as he opened his eyes, he was sweating heavily. "Nodoubt this will be a challenge.." Hiroten thought

Kazuki smiled. "Yes, there are a few things. The first is why? No, not why did you attempt to kill Chizu, but why you used a Kunai which branded with your own style, a Kunai use always used when training us? If you didn't want to be found out, why use such an obvious method?" Kazuki asked, sighing. He noticed that Kirimono was in the bushes nearby, and had someone with him, a female, Chizu. "And also, why did you not check whether Chizu was really dead, if you did want her to die. Kazuki sighed and moved one of his eye's to look at the bushes, turning slightly to hide it. It was a trick he'd learnt ages ago. "As Chizu is here, in this clearing now." Kazuki explained, watching the spot where Kirimono was hiding. "And Kirimono is here too. We all know what you did, and you wont get away." Kazuki explained, drawing a Kunai from his Belt. "Now answer my questions, Why did you use your Kunai and not an ordinary one. And why did you not check whether Chizu was dead or not? Give me an unsatisfactory answer, and I'll kill you, and you know that I will not hold back, that is not my way." Kazuki explained, aiming his Kunai at Amagai.

Seni sighed walked up to the boy. He was about to grab the scroll, when he vanished and kicked the boy in the stomach. "Tell me the truth, Boy. Tell me who you really are, who you work for and why you are doing this." Seni asked, pointing a kunai at the boys throat. "Or I will kill you."
