Sexiest Woman ALIVE!!

"Tada~!"
Everyone stared dumbfounded at Mitarashi Anko.
"You're late." Ibiki grumbled.
"Ah well since Foxy wouldn't allow me to make a banner yesterday I had to do it today."
Sasuke and Naruto face palmed.
'There is a reason I didn't allow her to make the fucking banner'
Kurama chuckled.

"Now! You weak and hopeless genins! You have ten minutes to get to the forest of death! After that you will be disqualified!"
Anko jumped out the window, waving her banner around in accomplishment.

Naruto ran out the window with Mito following. Sasuke followed after them with Sakura chasing after him.

"Oh come on!" Mizo complained.
He jumped out and followed his teammates, grumbling complaints along the way.

They jumped down barely making it as Genin behind them started to pound on an invisible barrier, yelling to be let in and most crying.

Anko whistled.
"That was a close one."
Naruto held a thumbs up. "I'll always be on time."
She shook her head before handing them the papers.

"What the hell are these?"
"Well by the conditions.. it seems a permission slip."
"A what?!"
"Like this one here, if you die it is not our fault. If we don't sign it we can't compete the second stage." Naruto stated.
"Done."
They looked at Sasuke in disbelief.
"Sasuke-kun don't carelessly sign! We could die!"
"Well it is the Forest of Death." Naruto chuckled.
"Aren't there man eating animals in there?"
"I'm supposed to know?"

Naruto signed the paper on his leg.

"We only need three Genin to enter the Chunin exams so two of you don't need to sign if your too scared."
Mito clenched the paper and signed it. He handed it over and Naruto took it along with Sasukes. Mizo signed and Naruto took it.
Sakura looked at Sasuke and clenched the paper in fake determination before signing it.

Naruto took the papers over to the tent and took the scroll a Jonin handed over. He hid it in his back pouch before making a circle around him with his teammates.

"What are we doing?" Mizo sighed.
"Hiding me because I have the scroll."
"So why's a scroll important."
"I have a feeling it's how we pass this test."

Naruto drew a seal on his arm before lowering the earth scroll into it. Mizo and Sakura groaned in disgust while Sasuke couldn't seem to care less. Naruto covered the seal with a henge and stood.

"Alright! Seeing you all have a scroll or didn't sign the paper! I will tell you the rules now!
"Number 1! Anything goes! You can kill, torture, steal! Number 2! That scroll you have, either it's heaven or earth! Is how you pass this test! You need both of the scrolls to complete this stage so yes! Half of you will NOT be passing! Number 3! You survive! Kill animals, eat them raw, I don't care but you need to survive in the forbidden forest for 7 days!
"If you fail to do so you are out! Now pick a gate and wait for my signal!"

They walked to gate 34 seeing it was the closet one. Sasuke saw some of the other team eyeing them, probably trying to figure out where their scroll is and if it's a heaven or earth.

"We can die."
They looked at Sakura who seem to just now realize what she signed.
"Yep." Naruto popped the 'p' and Sasuke shook his head.
"We'll need to be strategic in the Forbidden Forest, it's called that for a reason."
"Well what do you think we should do Mr. Top of the world." Mizo grumbled.
"Wait until no one's eavesdropping then talk." Naruto cut in.
Sasuke nodded. "That would probably be the best."
"Of course it is, I said it."

Sasuke rolled his eyes. Naruto smiled and bumped his hip on Sasukes. He looked over and stuffed his hands in his pockets as Naruto continued to do that.

"Alrighty! Ready! Steady! Go!"
Anko waved a flag as the gates opened and the Genin jumped in.
