《Fox》The Forest of Death
Advertisement
Me, Naruko, Sakura, Kurama, and Sakuke all break down the 4th wall and bow.
"We are sorry about the author's stupid questions," We all say in unison.
"Now Kurama," I start. "Fix the 4th wall."
He scoffed.
"Cause Naruko, Sakura, and Sasuke have to participate in the Chunin exams," I stated.
Kurama asked raising his eyebrow(?).
I laughed evilly. "Because I control the Chunin exams." I waved my hand in the air and bricks and cement appeared, along with a metal door and keycard. I pocketed the keycard and turned to Kurama. "We break down the fourth wall a lot, so just install that door there after you build the wall."
He wined in question.
I gave him a deadpan look. "Cause I don't want to."
he wined yet again.
"I also have to watch the Chunin exams on Netflix and use my brain so I can make it go my own way. Now shut up and get to work or else I'll erase you from this story for a while," I said while glaring at him.
He cried anime tears and got to work.
I clapped my hands twice and the story started.
"Uh Kurama..." I say to my fox in my mindscape. "Why isn't the story starting?"
he replied while rebuilding the 4th wall.
"She has to find Naruto then," I said breathing a sigh of relief.
Kurama grunted.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN OFF TRACK?" I screamed at him.
He said.
"Oh good," I say and then wait a moment. The story still hasn't started. "I thought you said that she was watching Naruto!"
Kurama said looking through the fourth wall.
"Stupid author..." I start to say and then the story started up.
...
A scream was heard throughout the forest, and that one scream let everyone know that the test has begun.
"That sounded like a scream," Sakura inferred. Sasuke and I nodded in agreement. "I don't like this place."
"Oh come on," I stated putting my hands behind my head, "There's nothing to be scared of, it's going to be a piece of cake." I tried to put a smile on my face but failed.

'I need to scope the landscape and look for enemies, but they'll get suspicious if I do that.' I thought to myself.
"Hey guys, I kinda need to go... you know," I stated heading to a bush.
"YEAH RIGHT," An angry Sakura screamed, bonking me on the head, letting everyone in the forest know our location. "GET OUT OF HERE YOU, WHAT IS THIS? A KENNEL? NOT IN FRONT OF ME YOU DON'T. GO FIND A BUSH OR SOMETHING!"
'What does she think I'm standing by?' I thought sarcastically. 'But all in my favor.'
I went behind the bush and used my Flying Thunder God technique to scope out the area that I put seals on as we were going. I put a shadow clone in my place just in case I encountered someone. To my surprise (not really), there were already enemies heading our way, and they captured my shadow clone. They probably heard Sakura.
I went into a tree and hid, seeing that the person was disguised as me.
"Oh wow, that was a lot," the fake Naruto stated. "I wrote my whole name."
I cringed. How dumb do they think I am?
"You are such a pig. You're really disgusting sometimes, you know that Naruto?" Sakura yelled raising her fist.
I saw Sasuke's eyes widen and then he attacked the fake Naruto. Took him long enough.
"Sasuke, it wasn't that bad. Don't you think you were going a little overboard?" Sakura asked him with a worried look on her face.
"Yeah," fake Naruto said rubbing his face, "What the heck was that all about- oof!"
Sasuke kicked him in the face this time and fake Naruto went flying. He went for another kick, but fake Naruto dodged by jumping onto a tree, Sasuke close behind. Fake Naruto then went flying out of the tree as Sasuke was in pursuit. They both landed, one in front of the other.
"Stay back Sakura," fake Naruto stated. "I think he's gone crazy!"
Sasuke grabbed a kunai. "Yeah you wish. I just attacked you before you could."
'You expected him to attack himself?' I thought sarcastically. Kurama busted out laughing.

"Sasuke, no!" Sakura yelled as Sasuke began to attack fake Naruto.
"Okay then, bring it on," fake Naruto stated taking out his own kunai.
They lunged at each other, kunai's clashing. That happened three more times until Sasuke backed off.
"Sasuke, what are you doing?" Sakura questioned.
"Take a good look at him," he answered. "What have you done with Naruto?" Sakura gasped.
"Wha-What do you mean? I am your Naruto," Fake Naruto said sweating a bit.
"Then where's the cut on your cheek?" He said as if he was so smart.
"I healed it," Kurama answered like the smart butt he is.
I cut my cheek with the kunai again. We can't have him suspecting me.
(Anko cut his cheek with a kunai before the second exam began.)
"I guess you didn't know that Naruto got a cut on his cheek before the test began," Sasuke stated like the 'cool guy' he was. "You also have your kunai pouch on your left leg instead of your right. The real Naruto is right handed." Sasuke didn't lower his guard. "You created an illusion worse than Naruto's, who are you really?"
Oh the irony.
There was a poof and standing in fake me's place was a mist nin. He had brown spikey hair and what looked like an air mask was over his mouth. "Okay you got me, but I'm still going to take your scroll," he stated. "Now hand it over or else."
Sakura brought out her kunai and got into a defensive stance. Good girl.
"Now," he said creepily, "which one of you has the scroll?"
They both glared at him, giving nothing away.
"Humph, fine then. I guess I'll just have to take you both out," The masked ninja said lunging for them.
Sasuke jumped up into the air and started doing some hand signs and putting his hand to his mouth.
Fire Release, Phoenix Sage Flower Technique. A C rank Jutsu. Go Sasuke!
The fire made craters in the ground where the nin was once standing. Key word, once. That stupid ninja completely dodged it!
They both flew at each other and there kunai's met each other in the air.
"Ah, ah help me!" my shadow clone screamed.
Sasuke made an annoyed face and threw a kunai at the ropes trapping my clone.
"Thank you," the clone yelled as the ropes broke.
"Keep your mind on the game," the mist ninja yelled throwing kunai at Sasuke.
Luckily, Sasuke went behind a tree branch and all the kunai hit it.
"Paper bombs," he yelled as the paper bombs exploded. He went flying to the ground, but he landed smoothly.
The masked nin showed up behind Sasuke with a kunai in hand. "Sorry, but this is one test that you're going to fail. Now hand over the scroll or you die."
Kurama questioned me.
'No, it's to much fun watching them.' I thought back in response. 'I like seeing Sasuke getting his butt kicked.'
Kurama sighed, but I didn't respond. The fight was getting good.
"Sasuke!" Sakura yelled, diverting the ninja's attention for a second.
Sasuke smirked and my shadow clone threw a kunai at our attacker, but he dodged. Sasuke sharingan blared and I saw the kunai hovering below his foot. This is new.
With a shout, he threw the kunai with his chakra at the attacker and the ninja barely dodged. With his attention diverted by the strange technique, Sasuke attacked him head on. His kunai dug into the imposter.
"Are you alright?" Sakura yelled in worry.
"Don't just stand there," Sasuke yelled, "Watch out! The others could strike any second now!"
The enemy threw Sasuke off him and spoke. "I wish I didn't come alone. I didn't bring the others around cause I didn't want to arouse suspicion. My mistake."
I rolled my eyes. He shouldn't of said that. He could've bluffed his way into escaping.
The enemy then retreated and Sasuke didn't follow like the dummy he was. That guy might've had the scroll on him and he let him get away! The stupid idiot.
I switched places with my shadow clone and followed behind them as we went to a thicker spot in the forest.
Something big is coming. I just know it.

It is also my second wish to eventually make this story into a webcomic, either by myself or with a team if possible. Thank you for taking this journey with me, and enjoy reading! ( You can alternatively read books in the series as standalone fictions, but they connect to one another though a running theme and mystery that evolves and progresses with the main character. ) Alternate Blurb for the Singularity Cycle series: Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters mythical creatures beyond her restless imagination in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is gifted with abnormal magic, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world more dangerous than its beautiful facade could hide. Finding new friends along a path riddled with tragedy, Essairyn must learn who to trust as deceit and betrayal lie behind kindly faces. Life in this deceptively promising world slowly spirals down a path of no return. This is not a game, but cruel reality. Her simple adventure became the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tore even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought they were. And not even the fickle gods could change the time-worn destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence.

Cursed Forest
This is a high fantasy story with horror elements, featuring the map-maker and half-elf Aspen, and his friend Sekafi, a hyena-like humanoid as they are sent on a mission to map out unknown territory and encounter a monster. Soon they're involved in something larger and more dangerous than they ever wanted. What happens next, you'll find out when you read. This is the first story I'm publishing here on RoyalRoad. I wanted to try this site out since it's more geared towards fantasy. I've been at Wattpad for about 2 years under the same name, but since I'm not writing romance I haven't gotten much steam there. This is my latest story, and it's also published on Wattpad in the book called Short Stories. I wanted to start with something new and unfinished here. I'll try and update at least once every other week, sometimes more often. ~RiisingNovels
