Somewhere on the borders of the Fire Country, the chakra forest finds it's beginnings which leads far up into the mountains, eventually leading to the Akatsuki Mountainside base. The forest is old and the trees are incredibly large, with gnarled, dark-reddish trunks and wide branches perfect for running around within and leaping from tree to tree. The entire forest is covered in a thick fog which makes visibility within the trees minimal, only about 50 feet around. The air even seemed to be partially saturated with chakra particles, making tracking someone, even with a doujutsu exceedingly difficult.
From the upper mountain lakes, several rivers flow through the forest, which can at times act as place markers, but the forest itself seems to delight in fooling travelers who come through it and had been known to create illusions of waterways simply to throw people off. The forest is also quite dangerous, being home to many strange and exotic creatures and would, if travel through it were to be recommended to anyone, would only be recommended to Chuunin level ninja or above.
The members of Akatsuki have studied and mapped out the chakra forest, so they know it like the back of their hands. But to all foreign shinobis, thread carefully.
Requirement: Foreign shinobis must post three times before proceeding through the forest, and one of those posts must be fighting some sort of beast.
