"I will take the scroll of Heaven," Shiro said to Kabuto and Yoroi.
"Do you have a reason why you want to take it?" Kabuto asked Shiro.
"I am trained by Hayate Gekko who is proficient at transparent justu. I don't need to say any more than that right?" Shiro replied.
The truth is that Shiro wanted to hold onto the scroll because he does not trust Kabuto.
"Then you can take it since you are the best candidate among us, Remember if you believe your opponent is stronger than you just run. The scroll and your life are the most important things." Kabuto said while smiling as he handed the scroll to Shiro.
Scroll and my life, huh? If you weren't acting so suspiciously nice I would have trusted you. Shiro thought in his mind.
"Now that we have decided that Shiro will be carrying the scroll let's move out."
"Right." The three Shinobi entered the forest of death.
*****
The main goal of the mission is to get two scrolls of different types and reach the tower in the centre of the forest during five days.
There are two scrolls. The scroll of Heaven and the scroll of Earth.
And each team only starts with one scroll. You have to obtain the remaining scroll from the other teams by using various methods.
Losing your life during this test is something that can happen and the examiners and the person who killed you will not be held accountable.
"Do you have any sensing techniques?" Shiro asked Kabuto as the team entered the forest.
"Hey. What scroll do you have?" As soon as they entered the forest they were spotted by a team that went in before them.
Shiro prepared to take out his katana but Kabuto put his hand in front of him to stop him from getting into the fight.
"I see. You are not going to let me fight. The two are going to fight while all I have to do is run away and hide right?" Shiro asked.
Kabuto nodded.
"Enhanced Form." Shiro then yelled out as neon blue lines appeared on his body.
He then quickly dashed away using the increase in speed that he got from his enhanced form while leaving Kabuto and Yoroi to take care of the enemy.
"That guy must be the one carrying the scroll. Go and get him." The person that looked like the leader of the other team said as one of his teammates followed Shiro.
"I am sorry but we can't get eliminated from this tournament just yet." Kauto said while smiling.
A blue blade made out of chakra called a chakra scalpel was created within one of Kabuto's hands.
He then used it to cut off the arm of the enemy team's leader.
"Ahhh." The other team leader yelled out. He was unable to react because of Kabuto's superior speed and swift actions.
His other teammate tried to use some kind of jutsu to attack Kabuto so he started to make some hand signs.
But his head was smashed onto the ground by Yoroi's hand which was covered in chakra.
The man whose head was smashed onto the ground started to become thinner and thinner.
As if all his nutrients and energy in his body were sucked out of him before eventually losing his life.
Kabuto also finished off the leader of the enemy team.
"Should we go and help the kid? These guys are weak but they are still threatening a genin like him." Yoroi asked.
"Let's just follow and observe them. I have a feeling that the kid might be more special than we might have originally thought." Kabuto replied while wiping the blood from his face.
He then checked the two bodies to find the scroll. And found an Earth scroll from the leader's body.
But he decided that he would not inform Shiro about that.
*****
"As expected, people who took an exam like this are no joke," Shiro said.
The shinobi who followed him was trailing him. However just barely.
"Bang"
"What was that?" Shiro was alarmed when he heard a loud noise at that time.
Being on guard is not a bad quality to have however when you are being chased getting distracted is not a good thing.
"You are distracted." The enemy Shinobi said as he threw a few paper balls that had gun powder inside them at Shiro.
"Tsk." Shiro reacted too late as the paper balls exploded near him and sent him crashing to the ground.
The place where he fell was covered by a large amount of dust.
"Did I get him?" The enemy Shinobi said as he waited for the dust to clear.
Going near an enemy that he is not sure that have been defeated is a stupid thing and the enemy Shinobi knows that so he decided to play smartt but he was not expecting Shiro's next move.
"Wait. What was that sound?" the enemy Shinobi said. He heard a sound within the smoke it was not particularly loud but he was sure that he heard it.
"Fire Style." A voice was heard as Shiro flew towards the enemy Shinobi while holding back one of his hands.
It seems that he has jumped.
"Fire Fist." He said as he covered one of his fists with flames before arriving near the enemy shinobi and then launching a punch at him with the fire-covered fist.
"Ahhh." The enemy yelled out in pain before falling onto the ground with injuries.
Unlike Kabuto and Yoroi, Shiro didn't kill his opponent.
However, that was not because he was unwilling to kill, he had already blood on his hands on his last mission.
But because he didn't take much damage from the paper bombs that the enemy used.
He knew that the paper bombs would deal more damage to him if they were designed to be lethal.
But the ones that his opponent used weren't strong enough to kill only enough to just knock a normal ninja out.
"He does not seem to be holding a scroll," Shiro said as he looked for the scroll on his enemy's unconscious body.
He then put him under the shade of a tree and decided to head to the tower since he didn't know where his teammates were.
