60 ch60 Forest of Death (1/2)

This year chunnin exams is mostly similar to the one I had when did mine, except that in the 2nd phase of the Forest of Death it's going to be harder. Lately we integrated gorillas and monkeys to the habitat that got train on how to use tools as weapons. This Monkeys and Gorillas were used for training the elites of the Sword Academy program and we used the Forest of Death as a training ground to train and sharpen their swords skills.

So now the Forest of Death as increased in difficulty thanks to that, just imagine the place were Zorro from One Piece train on the island of Mihawk.  We literally just kind of did that to upgrade the forest.

Because of that the Hokage as integrated proctors to observe and follow from afar to keep an eye on the students taking the exam since we don't want casualties and having the other villages blaming us. Death is still possible as long has its not involve with this trained Gorillas and Monkeys, since they know some basics of the SwordGod style, WaterGod style even some reaching up to Advance.

For that reason the Hokage dispatch also the New Root leader Ebisu since Danzo no longer is part of Konoha , to keep the students from dying from this Monkeys and Gorillas which some are armed with used swords, clubs and makeshift weapons. Only Anbu could keep them at bay since most of them got train by Anbu or by instructors of the Sword Academy and are quiet still tamed by them.

The 2nd exam started not long ago and I am keeping an eye out for my daughter's team, because they specialized on tracking I have to keep my distance by a lot. After all, my daughter's Mirai team as a Hyuga with Byakugan, Shino from the bug clan he could have bugs around the team keeping eye out for everyone. Kiba from the Inuzuka with his pet dog sniffing around and finally my daughter which is a sensor type ninja with a minimum of 100 meters to max of  500 meters radius sensing abilities.

Because of that I had to be creative and hide my presence using my Sage mode to conceal myself from them. At the moment I am in my Full Body Sage Mode using sage chakra to camouflage. Even if they are sensors they can't sense Sage chakra or Nature chakra since they need to train specifically for that. To make this more fun I even transform into one of the Monkeys that are now habituating on the Forest of Death.

So it won't be unusual having a Monkey being curious of these new intruders in the forest and just keeping out an eye out being just a curious George monkey. I did inform Ebisu of what I was doing and make my monkey fur be black as most of the one on the forest are either brown or slight grey. This way Anbu would be inform that It was me in disguise since it would be hard to keep track of Kusei's team which was all comprise of trackers.

So while I was tracking them from afar and observing them, I notice they encounter some tigers and some monkeys. They tigers didn't gave them much problems but the monkeys did as they used rock throws to pressure them as the monkey timed their attacks as they manage to hit them hard. Some even graze their vitals. These monkeys were used at fighting ninjas since we used them to train the elites of the Sword Academy who were already in the Advance Swordsmanship of either SwordGod or WaterGod style. We used group tactics to pressure our students to extract their full potential under harsh circumstances.

The monkey's where also smart enough to pick up the moves of the students some managing to learn basic, to advance swordsmanship. We also provided used worn out weapons to them so they could input a real challenge to our students.

So after 10 to 15minutes of fighting the team of my daughter was getting worn out little by little. Since they got surrounded by about 7 monkeys who used rocks, tree branches and some with worn out clubs or daggers in hand.

They kept fighting for another 10 minutes, they were being pressure since even when the Hyuga girl started using her 8-trigram style the monkeys would always manage to evade on time either by a graze or being help by another monkey since they had impeccable team work. This monkeys also like to taunt their opponents since they even started to imitate her fighting style giving her a hard time since she would be rush by at least 3 monkeys at a time.

Kiba at this time interfere with his dog Akamaru, using their signature move Fang over Fang. Creating some vortex tornados and targeting the monkeys. Which for the first time they got some injuries but not severe ones.  At this moment Shino never moved from his spot but notice he had release bugs everywhere since the start of the fight.

The bugs where draining the chakra of the monkeys slowly but surely. Mirai was in the defensive protecting Shino as he controls his bugs to attack. Since the monkeys notice that they were being drain by Shino the other 4 monkeys where trying to knock out Shino but Mirai would protect him by using Mud wall Jutsu and using her chakra knuckle blade she would start confronting the monkeys who had some used kunai and short sword on hand.

The monkeys where really nimble and started to get serious as they started synchronizing attacks pressuring and trying to find a opening as they also would try to surprise attack Shino.
