They had finished dead last, but it was still a pass no matter how embarrassing. As the Hokage explained the next part of the exam Date tried to formulate a strategy, he could tell other people might stick with their and pick off loners to get that they needed. That meant being alone was a dangerous option, but before he could even speak to the couple about his ideas they were gone. Well that sucked and to his surprise Kobito was gone as well, Date at least thought his old friend would say goodbye. But that was the world they lived in, no goodbyes or farewells for those who did not deserve it. [color=E54515]“SENTOU KAISHI; LET THE BATTLES COMMENCE!”[/color] Boomed the Hokage's voice followed by a gunshot. That meant it was time to suck it up and find a way to come out on top of the examination. Date knew this was not that last part it was just to help further weed out the weak so he could not afford to be stopped here. Date's plan was simple find a good 1v1 and win the fight, if that did not work he would need to be more crafty but the rules they set made things fairly straightforward and easy. Before he could even leave out into the forest, Date heard a series of explosions and the ground shake around him. Like anyone else who was still inside, Date ran out and climbed a tree to get a batter view, the explosion came from the village and this caused him to turn a pale shade. His mother was there, she could be hurt, or dead, its not like she spoke or moved she kind of just sat there and stared off into space s there was no way for her to call for help. Date had to decided what to do, go to the village or commit to his duties and find a culprit, and for once in his life he trusted that his father wold keep her safe and choose to stay in the forest and search form here. While he looked at his burning home a flood washed through the forest. Weaker trees, like the one he was on, began to sway and give under the pressure of the water. Date jumped from tree to tree until he found a stable one, the water had stirred up weak rooted tress and the ground was soaked. This kind of made him smile, the one place that needed water was burning, and the place that did not need anymore was flooding. Soon after that thought he activated his Sharingan to get a better look around. He could tell the forest was in chaos, whether it be from the destruction in is face or the massive amounts of chakra being used in the distance. There was something that caught his eye, a man he had never seen before was floating in the sky, and when he came down the sky rained metal. [color=FA8072]"What th-"[/color] Before he could even finish his though weapons fell upon the forest, Date used his Sharingan to out maneuver the ones that might have hit him and once he found balance on tree again he sighed. Looking around he could see the destruction, swords, spears, arrows, all types of weapons littered about, the flooded forest floor, the Forest of Death really matched its name now. Then he had an idea, Date knew it was silly thought but what if this was apart of the exam the only reason he considered this was because the Kages had the power to teleport them to a random forest and make a tornado (he could only imagine what the other test were) so could they do this as well? His gut was telling him to shut up and stop speaking nonsense. Date stuck with his gut and followed the man from the sky. On his way in the direction the man came down, Date came across three individuals: one he vaguely recognized as Kaba Joukaku, Date only knew his face but that was it never met the guy before. The man with the fox aura that was attacking Kaba was, well he was supposed to be dead, and lastly the man "Sebun". Date knew Kaba would not be able to take them on together, he could feel the power radiating form them and doubted that even if they worked together they would stand a chance. Despite his gut telling him not to, as a ninja he had to rush from the trees to Kaba's aid. It was his duty to help his fellow shinobi out right? Date shook his head and proceeded towards Kaba with red and black eyes ready for a fight.
