Luckily, Rikou was warned by his father about the written exam's final question; It was always a trick, never serious. Rikou walked alone to the Forest of Death, hoping to see his teammates and try to develop a plan early. One thing about having a brother and sister in the same group was the constant fighting, but Rikou often tried to resolve it. The reason he didn't walk with them was that he secretly stashed a bit of supplies for himself and his team if they asked nicely; a pack of food. Rikou managed to exploit a loop hole in the Forest of Death Exam, this being you are allowed to bring any tool required like kunai, needles, shuriken, but Rikou's tools were food. Even though bringing food was against the rules, the no food rule was over turned by the tool rule. In the end, Rikou was technically allowed to bring food now to the Exams. The supplies were simple: A bag of potato chips, six rice balls, and a pack of unopen ramen. Water was also contained in the pack, three bottles for each team memeber. Rikou didn't want to be selfish and only bring supplies for himself, though the bag of chips were all his, once again his greed for food stepping in. Now he only needed to find Emi and Hiro before the exam started.

Jubei remembered the trick of the written exam the first time he took it. So, when the proctor mentioned the final question, he was able to relax a little more. The next proctor came into the room and told them it was time to go to the Forest of Death. The group made their way out of the building and into a grassy field that would eventually lead them to their destination.
It bother Jubei to be ignored by Mai. Ever since the beginning of the exam, she had not said a single word nor threw a passing glance. She seemed so obsessed with this new guy, who was apparently named Akira, as the name arose many times in the conversation. It was interesting because Jubei had never heard of this guy. Plus, he had not seen a handband that signified his village of origin. He was very suspicious.

Emi, of course, remembered the trick question from her own chuunin exam, and finished with the rest of the survivors. She left quickly, hoping to avoid Hiro, who was probably still angry at her.
And the next exam will be even more troublesome. Hopefully he'll get over it by then, so we can work together.
She passed Mai, who was enjoying a lively conversation with some guy. Emi took a long look at him, and frowned. I suppose he's good looking. But he talks too much. Its annoying. She continued on ahead of them.

Cinderella, Are you really that happy?
Cinderella, Are you really that lucky?
I wanna know is your life like you dreamed...
"See you around, Akira!" Mai said cheerfully, giggling a bit. They had arrived at the Forest of Death, and needed to get into their teams.
Glancing around briefly, Mai located Jubei not far off, and walked over to him.
"Hey, where've you been?" Mai asked curiously, smiling.
Somethings wrong..
'Cause all my glass shoes break.
And no one's ever held this damsel in distress.

Hiro finally waking up from his nap to notice everybody already gone from the room.
Aw crap! I hope I am not too late.
Hiro sprinted to the forest of death and finally caught up with the students. He found his Emi chilling at a corner looking annoyed as usaul. He approached them a little tired and catching his breathe.
"Sorry I am late. I fell asleep during the exam" he explained.
Than he gave a sour look to Emi,
"Your lucky we passed the written exam. Besides that I saw Rikou in the classroom where is now?"

Jubei immediately put on an act when Mai came to talk to him. He could not let her see that he was anything but happy.
"Oh, I've just been here. Looks like we finally got to the Forest of Death. This should be a lot of fun, considering how much more powerful we are than the others."
He smiled and scratched the back of his head, much like Naruto did in his youth.
"Getting both scrolls will be a sinch... you can count on that."
With that, he made his right hand into a fist and punched his left palm.

Emi was sitting, waiting for both of her teammates, annoyed at all the people around her, when Hiro came running up. "Sorry I am late. I fell asleep during the exam"
She grinned mischievously. "I know," she replied, as Hiro frowned at her.
"Your lucky we passed the written exam. Besides that I saw Rikou in the classroom where is now?"
Emi looked around, and saw their third teammate standing by himself. "I see him. Come on." She stood up, and headed over to Rikou.

Cinderella, Are you really that happy?
Cinderella, Are you really that lucky?

"Yeah, it will be!" Mai said happily.
They were then handed forms to fill out, like their first year.
The forms, as always, were specifying the risks of going into the Forest of Death. You know, death.. carnage... possible concussions. That kind of stuff.
Mai filled it out, without reading anything, and held it between her fingers.
"You almost done yours, Jubei?" She asked, looking at the boy.
Somethings wrong..
'Cause all my glass shoes break.
And no one's ever held this damsel in distress.

Jubei made a few more marks on the form and then stopped.
"Yeah, I'm done. None of that's really important, anyway."
He held the paper at his side and looked into the forest beyond the large fence.
"So, what's our tactic?"

Mai thought for a moment, before answering.
"Hmm. It seems we can't be too obvious that we're, well, you know."Mai said, watching those around them. "But, we also have to win. So, why don't we just use the same one our parents used? We'll wait for 2 days, and if we don't get one by then, we'll just jump the teams who have both already, when they head to the tower on the third day.
"There's nothing wrong with copying our parents, right?" Mai asked, smiling. "Well, unless you have a better suggestion."

Jubei laughed.
"No way! Using our parents' technique is perfect."
He reached into his longcoat and made an inventory check.
"I just hope I have enough equipment."
He pulled his arm back out and folded his arms across his chest.
"I really hope we get to fight someone. I've been wanting to test my better techniques. I'm not allowed to use those on my dad because they're not for sparring."
Jubei tilted his head to side and looked at Mai.
"How about you? Anything you want to try out?"

Mai looked at the ground, with a slight blush from embarassment.
"... Maybe a technique or two..." She said quietly.
Mai laughed nervously. She knew her accomplishment of 3 tomoes at the age of 8 was big, but she loved the idea that her sharigan had almost become as sharp as her father's, Sasuke.
Heck, maybe she'd learn Mangekyou before her father did!
But really, she had some new techniques that she'd been hiding in secret, and wanted to show Jubei, and get his approval.
Mai checked her own supplies, and realized she had one pack extra on her.
Looking inside, her face fell as she picked up a note, written neatly in her mother's handwriting.
"Just because you're on a mission, doesn't mean you get to slack off in your training. Here are some supplies for..."
Mai crumpled up the note, and threw it over her shoulder. She looked inside the pack, and sure enough, it was filled to the brim with medical supplies.
Thanks mom.. Mai hissed lightly in her head, and her anger showed on her face.

Jubei made an over exagerated expression of shock on his face.
"What!? Just one or two!? Come on, you should have like... a million!"
He sighed quietly and looked back at Mai.
"Well, I guess you don't want to spoil any surprises. We might have the elimination round like our parents did. I don't blame you for not wanting to tell me then. But, I don't mind saying so. I've got a few I'm really looking forward to using... some I created all on my own."
Jubei grinned at his accomplishment.

"Heh." Mai laughed, her anger blowing away with the gentle breeze that passed through.
Finally, Team 7 was called to the tent, to recieve their scroll. Mai started over, and realized Jubei wasn't following.
Grabbing his hand, and tugging him along, she pulled him into the tent, and they recieved....
Mai exited the tent, still latched onto Jubei. She had handed in her form, and was pumped to get going.
((For suspense, no one say the scroll they got. Contact ech other over PM to confirm the scroll.))

Jubei went into a state of total relaxation when Mai grabbed him by the hand. His mind was completely elsewhere and he had no idea what was going on. He mindlessly handed in his form and continued to follow after Mai.
"Huh? Wha-? We got a scroll? Alright!"
Jubei threw his fist into the air and brought it back down in front of him triumphantly.
"Let's rock!"
