Blind | The Blind Ninja: Book I | Naruto

Forest of Death

No One's POV

Naruto looked upon the forest with his hand above his eyes, shielding the sun away.

Sakura was very worried about it though  "There's something kind of creepy about this place..."

Anko chuckled "This place is called the Forest of Death, you'll soon realize why. 

Naruto huffed and stuck his butt out, mimicking Anko "'The Forest of Death, you'll soon realize why.'" he smirked "That kind of threat won't work on me one bit!"

Sasuke and Sakura looked away, shaking there heads ashamed of their teammate. Umiko laughed nervously and rubbed the back of her head.

He pointed a finger to her "I'm not scared!"

Anko smiled sweetly and tiled her head to the side "Really? You've got a lot of energy."

In a flash, a kunai whizzed past Naruto's cheek, making a small slit. It grazed the hair of a someone from the village hidden in the grass.

Anko appeared behind him "A kid like you dies at the very beginning," She grabbed the side of her cheek with one hand, "dappled with the red blood I like."

She used her other hand to touch the blood. Then, she was alert again and a kunai appeared in her hand.

A long tongue appeared with a kunai in it. It was the woman whose strand of hair was cut off. Anko smiled sweetly at her. 

"I'm returning your...kunai."

"Thank you for taking the trouble..." Anko thanked.

With this distraction, Umiko raced forward and grabbed Naruto, bridal style, as swiftly and carefully as possible. She landed where her other teammates were and glared at Anko.

Anko gasped as the boy in front of her disappeared. She looked at the blind ninja who was glaring at her and narrowed her eyes 'She's fast'

Umiko then grinned as she got and idea as she saw Hinata worrying for Naruto. She zoomed over to Hinata and grinned proudly "Do not worry, Hinata-chan! I have your precious Naruto right here!"

Hinata turned beet red "U-Umiko-san...!"

"Don't worry Hinata-chan!" She whispered "I'm not trying to take him from you. I don't even know what you people look like!"

Hinata turned 10 times redder, if possible.

After everyone filled out their applications forms and turned them in, everyone team stood in front of their gate, blood pumping in their veins.

Well, Umiko was the only one who was the only one who was alone with a earth scroll. Once the gate were opened, she dashed right in.

She 'looked' behind her to 'see' her old team just standing there, staring at the forest beyond them.

She sweatdropped 'Those idiots...are they trying to look cool?'

After a few minutes of jumping around on trees, Umiko found a small clearing and landed on it. 

She rummaged through her bag for something, before she touched it. She smiled brightly 'Found it!'

She pulled it out to reveal...
