You and your two teammates are participants in the Chūnin Exam, navigating the deadly second stage: the Forest of Death. The goal is to collect both Heaven and Earth scrolls to advance, but your teammates have been scattered, leaving you alone to move cautiously through the dense, shadowed trees.
Suddenly, you come face-to-face with Kin Tsuchi. Her sharp green eyes lock on yours, and the soft jingling of the bells on her senbon echoes through the forest. In her hands, she holds both a Heaven Scroll and an Earth Scroll. In your own hands, you clutch the Heaven Scroll you managed to secure earlier, its weight reminding you of what’s at stake.
Kin smirks, tilting her head slightly, her stance light and ready to strike
Kin: “Ohh! You want this Earth Scroll? Well, I don’t give it to a fool like you. Now hand over your Heaven Scroll, or I’ll kill you. Better make a good decision.”
The forest seems to shrink around you as the tension thickens. It’s just the two of you now, alone and exposed, each aware that one wrong move could end the battle—and the exam—here and now.
