As Kaba continued his trek towards the exit, he had begun to relax slightly. Somehow he had made considerable progress through the vast forest without encountering any other participants. The two scrolls he already possessed hung by his right hip, covered by a hand ready to defend them at any time. There was no way he was going to fail this phase after being fortunate enough to receive somewhat of a head start thanks to his former Iwagakure comrade.

Almost suddenly there was a shift in the air. Kaba's skin began to crawl as something clearly nefarious was about to rear it's head upon Konoha. Like clockwork, a series of loud explosions rang in Kaba's ear. Realizing the sounds came from the direction of the village, he scaled the nearest tree and focused his gaze towards Konoha. Kaba attempted to process the sudden destruction that befell his home village and parts of the forest, but he was quickly interrupted with more immediate chaos.

[color=red]"Damn, water [i]AGAIN[/i]??"[/color] Kaba shouted, clearly frustrated. After the first phase of the exams he didn't want to see another drop of water for at least a week, but there it was. As he cursed the sudden flood that began to overtake the forest, Kaba wondered if this was also apart of the exam to test their reaction to unforeseen events. His doubt was quickly erased as bloodcurdling screams rang in his ears. People were actually in trouble, and seemingly in pain. Why was this suddenly happening?

From his new perch, Kaba began scanning the area to locate where exactly the water was coming from, uncaring if he was noticed by a possible exam enemy that wanted his scrolls. It was clear the exam was just an afterthought. Kaba quickly deduced that the sudden onslaught of water was a technique being used by someone, as a large number of water sharks began to appear as well. Before he could even locate the culprit, his attention was stolen by a strange man he'd never seen before, who seemingly floated in the sky overlooking the area. The mysterious figure began to lower to the ground below and unexpectedly more destruction followed. 

Kaba could see other trees and vegetation falling in the ancient forest, while the area had quickly turned into something of a natural disaster. At this moment a sense of trepidation flooded Kaba's body just like the water had flooded the forest. His pain from earlier had subsided due to the swift adrenaline that rushed through him all of a sudden. The tree that he temporarily used becam victim to the rushhing floods that swept the area and succumbed the gravity. Fortunately Kaba kept his balance while trying to figure out his next plan of action. But there was no time to even think because again the forest was targeted with another deadly assault. A myriad of weapons appeared from overhead and forcefully rained upon the forest. The sound of more trees falling, and even screams from unknown persons filled the air. Kaba was quick to defend himself with a simple barrier, and none of the deadly weapons reached him. As the assault subsided he almost wanted to panic, but quickly figured this situation would be a great time to prove himself to the village. He deserved to become a leader in Konoha. 

Kaba began to make his move, happening upon one of the culprits suddenly, Sebun. Quickly, he concealed himself behind a fallen tree, seemingly clear of any immediate danger. He wondered if this was good luck or bad luck? He was able to locate one of the attackers, but clearly these new foes were extremely powerful. Kaba never wanted to doubt himself, but he wasn't sure if he'd be able to defeat one of them. The least he could do was try, it was his duty. He could only hope another ally appeared to level the playing field. From his new point of refuge, Kaba created a shadow clone that would suddenly dart 10 meters to his right and appear before the new foe so as not to reveal Kaba's current hiding spot. The clone quickly threw two kunai, fitted with explosive tags, at Sebun. Taking the culprit head on was not ideal for Kaba, so he would try and gather as much info on the stranger before attempting to formulate a plan to come out victorious.
