Angel of The Hidden Leaf

Chapter 32: Konoha is not held liable for the threat of...



"Training Ground 44, also known as the Forest of Death; home to hundreds of different man – eating predators, deadly insects, bloodthirsty demons, and basically anything that can kill you dead where you stand." I narrated towards twenty seven genins standing before the gates behind me.

I am currently garbed inside my angel outfit the Hokage gave to me. He told me something about wanting to make Konoha looks as intimidating and powerful as possible. He even told me to show no mercy in this exam.

Some of the genins looked at me in slight fear. With the huge wings I have behind my back and all the weapons currently revolving all around me, only the brave ones and those who know me personally can refrain from shivering in terror.

"Now, before we begin..." I put my hands in my pocket and threw out dozens pieces of paper to the sky. I use the force so that each piece of paper floated down towards each genins in the area. "The Hidden Leaf Village is not held responsible for the threat of minor and major injury, life threatening disease, dismemberment, starvation, crippling, and of course death due to this exam." I explained.

Suddenly, a shadow casts over the gates. I looked up and saw grey scaly skin hanging above me. "Speaking of death..." Everyone's faces paled in fear as a gigantic snake slithered from the gates of the Forest. Some brave ones already armed themselves while the scaredy cats were already running in terror.

"All right, hold your horses brats!" Anko appeared above the giant snake in a puff of smoke. "I am the great Mitarashi Anko and I will explain the terms of this exam." She jumped off the snake and landed beside me.

The Snake slithered down and curled up around us. "As my little friend angel just explain, there is a reason why this place is called the forest of death..." She grinned a little at all the genins in front of her. "Some of you will return in a body bag..."

Then she took out a map of the Forest from her pocket. That is, if you can call an over simplified drawing of green circle with smaller brown circle in the middle a map. "This training ground stretches ten kilometers across with a river and a tower in the middle. You have 120 hours, which is five days for you mathematical morons to get there."

Finally she took out a couple of scrolls from her pocket. "Here are the terms. Each one of you will be given either the Heaven or the Earth scroll. To pass the exam you need both Heaven and Earth, your teammates intact, and get to the tower." I see a bunch genins gasping a little in realization. "That's right brats; at least half of you will be wiped out in this exam. Any questions?"

A certain blonde haired uzumaki with a little fox sitting on his head raised his hand. "Umm, can we team up with other teams?" He asked.

"Of course!" I exclaimed. "If you don't like dying alone, then by all means, go ahead and die together with the ones you love." Naruto gulped a little and took a step back. He glanced a little at Hinata who's looking at him in the distance.

"Anymore question?" I exclaimed.

Then, a long haired genin from Kusa raised his hand. "Yes... Are we allowed to kill in this exam?" He asked.

Anko grinned and nodded a little. "You can get the scroll by all means necessary... Don't hold anything back..."

The genin's tongue slithered out of his mouth like a snake. He grinned a little with bloodlust clearly seen from his eyes. It doesn't take long for me to realize that this is Kabuto's ex master. "Ohoho... This is going to be easy..."

"Anymore question?" I asked.

Choji raised his hand. "Umm, what about the food Haios, I mean, Angel san?" He asked.

Well... This is Choji... What else is he going to ask? "Don't worry, there are plenty of food in that forest. There's fried grasshoppers, roasted cricket, steamed caterpillars, and maybe some healthy greens." I explained simply. "Or in other words, you gotta look for it yourself."

"Anymore question? No? Great! Now sign the consent and get the scroll. We don't have all day." I said before pointing at a stall nearby. "The exam starts soon, so hurry up and sign that form." I added.

With that, the participants grouped together and start talking about their plans in the exam. The Genins from Konoha seems already planning to group together. The Genins from Ame seems to be very excited for what's coming. The Genins from Kusa seems to be pretty calm and confident.

All in all, this Chunin Exam is going to be pretty interesting...

I watched from above a tree where the Rookie Nine grouped together. They seemed to be talking about their plans for this exam. I took the liberty of creating a sound proof barrier around them so that nobody can overhear their conversation.

"All right everyone..." Shikamaru said with a thoughtful look on his face. "There are two big nopes in this exam. Garra the Suna Jinchuriki..." He glanced at the team from Suna. "And Orochimaru the Snake Sannin..." He glanced at the general direction of the Kusa team.

Then he looked at each and every one of his friends with a dead serious look on his face. "If you encounter any of them, flee on sight." Then he looked at Naruto and Sasuke. "That goes double for the two of you. Even if you can hold your own against Garra, we do not need him to go insane in this exam. Avoid him at all costs..."

Well, I guess everyone is ready for everything. I floated back to gate and saw Anko standing there with her snake. "So, when will we start?" I asked.

Anko took out her clock. "In a few minutes." Then she moved the attention to the participants. "All right brats! Go pick the entrance where you wanted to go. Don't keep me waiting!" She exclaimed.
