A Journey Through the Universes

A dense impenetrable forest with huge trees whose crowns seemed to pierce the clouds.

Suspicious movements in the shade of trees, causing the students of class 1-A a chill on the skin.

But the most important thing is that their teacher, Uzumaki Tetsuya, was standing in front of their line, and behind him were men and women of different ages who looked around with fear and apprehension.

The guys could tell for sure that they were all Shinobi ... a bad feeling appeared in each of them.

– And so, as you can see, I have created a special platform for you. This is called the training ground "Forest of Despair", it is in it that your exam will take place. Tetsuya spoke with a kind smile, pacing from side to side.

Then he took out a bunch of scrolls from the seal and put them on the ground. There were two kinds of scrolls. Some were green, others were red.

– Before I say the purpose of the exam, let me introduce you to each other – pointing to his students, Tetsuya said – These are students of the Konoha Academy, and they are taking the genin exam. – then his hand pointed to the Shinobi – And these are criminals, nukenins, who were carefully collected by me for your exam from all over the land of Fire. –

The two groups exchanged ambiguous glances, but they were united by the way they looked at the red-haired monster.

– And now the purpose of the exam. Students take a green scroll, criminals take a red one. Each of you will drop blood on the scroll, thus activating it. After that, you will be taken to a random location in the Forest of Despair. – Tetsuya paced from side to side – The essence of the exam is simple. Criminals, in order to get freedom, need to kill a student, pick up a scroll and open it at the same time with their scroll, after which you will be teleported to freedom. The students also need to kill the criminal, pick up the scroll and again open it at the same time with their scroll, after which you will be taken to a safe zone and your exam will end there. –

As the story progressed, Tetsuya's students became more and more nervous. This was not what they expected. The guys from other classes just show a few techniques and pass a writing test, and they got survival games.

None of the students opened their mouths to ask, "Are you serious?". They knew that their sensei was more than capable of such a thing.

Many guys were covered in cold sweat from the way criminals began to look at them.

And the nukenins looked at them as if they were slaughter meat that would give them a ticket to freedom.

– All of you are approximately equal in strength. Tetsuya added, "I personally checked it out. The only advantage that the nukenin team has is experience and this is not a small advantage, but you are my students, which makes you roughly equal. Finally, I will say... if one of you does not want to take my exam, then you are free to leave now and thereby fail the exam. Yes, you will return to the academy, but in a year you will be able to take the exam again and it will definitely not be me who will take it, which means it will be much easier… So anyone who wants to can leave. –

A few seconds of silence and a girl slowly came out of the system – Sorry, Sensei. –

All the kids in the class knew her. She was the weakest of them, and she was at the end of the list all the time.

"Nothing, Sato. You don't have to apologize for that. Tetsuya shrugged his shoulders. –

About half of the class went out of order at once, and, funnily enough, mostly boys.

Everyone who got out of line apologized and left with their heads down.

– Everything? Well… Now we have a preponderance in the direction of criminals, but do not be afraid it is solved quickly. Tetsuya finished with a smile and snapped his fingers.

Instantly, the heads of a group of nukenins exploded, showering with scraps of "thinking" and blood of nearby neighbors.

Students and criminals were equally divided again.

Naturally, there was a reaction to this.

Some girls could not restrain their vomiting and ran into the bushes to free their stomachs.

The remaining nukenins cast a furious, fear–filled glance at Tetsuya, and he certainly noticed it. - Why are you looking at me like that? Did you think I would just let you go without insurance? Remember, go outside the forest and your brains will fertilize the soil here, okay? –

Naturally understandable, and therefore they all nodded like dummies.

Minato and Kushina were also pale from such a performance, although the blonde was even whiter.

– Sort the scrolls. –

With a wooden gait, the students and criminals came up for the scroll.

– Good… Is everyone ready? – the hero asked and after waiting for the "nods", he said – Then we begin. –

A second and all the students, as well as the criminals, disappeared from their seats.

Yes, in just a few hours Tetsuya was able to understand the thunder god's technique, as well as improve it to the second level, as Minato did in the canon.

But the hero certainly did not stop there, since the technique will soon be able to reach the so-called third level.

No one will argue that Hiraishin is a wonderful universal technique that, coupled with reaction speed and open gates, can turn Tetsuya into a real God of War.

Kushina. From the third person.

A moment and the red-haired girl moved.

Looking around, Kushina realized that she was in a small clearing of this gloomy forest.

The girl still has not moved away from the recent performance, and therefore sat down on her knees, trying to calm her stomach.

–Ha ha ha!" the nine–tailed one inside her laughed, "Your nephew put on a great show!" –

- "Why was it necessary to do this?" Kushina asked mentally, turning her head.

- "Heh! Don't blame him, he did it with the best of intentions." –

- "Explain. – said the girl, getting back on her feet. She finally felt a little better, but her pale face still spoke of the recent shock.

– "Listen, even though I promised him to help you, but that doesn't mean that I have to be your babysitter." – the fox twitched his mustache.

"Well, Kurama..." she pouted.

- "What is Kurama? I didn't tell you my name so that you would bother me with them. Think for yourself why he did it, move your convolutions." – the demon folded his paws on his chest, and then added a little kinder – "As a last resort, I'll give you a hint." –

- "What would scare us?" –

- "No." –

- "What would teach us?" –

- "Almost." –

"What would... what would we get used to blood and murder?" –

"Yes, you figured it out yourself. Progress." – eared clapped his hands, but the problem was that his voice was full of sarcasm, and a fanged grin shone on his face.

Kushina pouted – "Don't force me to Kurama..." – the girl said in an unkind voice.

– "Huh? Hmm." – the fox chuckled, flashing a smile – "Otherwise what?" –

"Otherwise I'll go on a diet." –

The fox tilted his head in perplexity.

"It means that I will only eat tasteless lean food. No Tetsuya treats. Absolutely nothing." – Kushina grinned insidiously, feeling Kurama's eyes widen.

"You wouldn't dare!" –

- "I dare." –

"You can't get me hooked on this food and then blackmail me!" –

- "I can." –

"You're punishing yourself too!" –

"So what? The main thing is that I will annoy you with this." – the little girl smiled maliciously.

- "I will complain!" –

- "Well, to whom?" –

"To your nephew who imprisoned me here." –

- "Pfft! Do you think he'll take your side and not mine? Don't fantasize." –

- "Asshole!" – the fox exclaimed – "Now I believe that you are Mito's sister..." –

Kushina wanted to tease the fox again, but then her instincts howled, and she quickly jumped away.

– Element of Fire: Great Fireball Technique! a woman's cry rang out from the side.

Fortunately, Kushina jumped back in time, thus managing to dodge a large fireball.

Seeing that the red-haired girl was able to dodge, the woman immediately rushed to the attack, not wanting to miss even the slightest advantage.

As soon as Kushina landed on the ground, a fist rushed into her face with a rhinestone.

– Damn it! Kushina exclaimed, closing her eyes, taking the blow in her hands.

– Die brat! Die for my survival! – the criminal shouted furiously, throwing a stack of kunai after her, which safely stuck into Uzumaki's hands.

– Sssss! Kushina hissed in pain, feeling the kunai enter her hand.

The woman grinned when she saw that her attack was successful, and therefore she decided to finish what she had started quickly.

She dashed towards Kushina, with a kunai in her hands, and somewhere halfway along the way she felt something was wrong.

With a painful smile, Kushina exclaimed – Explosion! –

There was a loud explosion and the red-haired girl was doused with warm air, mixed with a rain of blood.

When Kushina blocked the woman's blow, she managed to throw out an explosive seal, which quickly disguised itself on the ground.

– Fuuh, I won ... – the girl said with a smile, almost without reacting to the fact that she had just turned a rather cute blonde into mincemeat.

- "Pfft! What's to be happy about?" – said the demon – "You are much stronger than her, even without me, but this woman still managed to hurt you and catch you by surprise. You're relaxed. You're confused. Shame," the fox boomed, shaking his muzzle.

- "Kurama! Remember about the diet!" –

- "Hmm!" – the fox chuckled and fell silent. That he's his own enemy or something? There aren't many pleasant things in his life, so he wouldn't want to lose them so easily.

Suddenly Kushina rushed to the place of the explosion, exclaiming – A scroll! –

Her hands, by the way, have already recovered.

Running up, she saw a pair of torn feet and a scroll. He looked as good as new, as if he had not been in the epicenter of the explosion.

Picking up the scroll, Kushina put it in the unloading and stomped in a randomly selected direction.

"Aren't you going to finish?" –

- "No." –

- "Why?" –

"I want to help the others." –

"That's stupid." –

"No, it's not... But even if it's stupid, then what? I still want to help them." –

- "Do as you like." –
