Choji paused in his eating for a minute before shrugging off that ntal image and continuing to chow down. Ino continued her description of Naruto's mories, "That was just the first one, and I couldn't turn it off. I was in his body while this strange silent man in a mask just beat him while he was tied to a chair, he never spoke, he just kept hitting him and hitting him for hours until all I could see through his view was blood. All of the mories I saw were just like that, I finally had enough and cancelled the jutsu."
Shikamaru just stared at the girl, "Wow, that's kind of hardcore. You felt everything happen as if you were there? That ans that it wasn't a trick or anything, you really were in Naruto's mories doesn't it?"
Ino shook her head, "Naruto couldn't have been any older than seven or eight years old when any of the things I saw happened. If it wasn't a trick then I sure as hell can't believe that those things were his actual mories. Those were things that dad told the Anbu did on a regular basis. There's no conceivable way that while we were preparing for the academy, Naruto was taking on Anbu level missions. That just doesn't make sense." Shikamaru stayed silent and pondered Ino's words, 'The things that Naruto did when he fought everyone, those techniques, that fighting style, the way he carried himself. All of those things didn't just co out of nowhere...'

(Forest of Death)
With ga faces on, Team Gai headed into the restricted area of the Forest of Death where the level of peril went up. The forest grew darker, and it wasn't just because the sun was setting, the canopy was beginning to completely block out the sunlight above. Faint sounds of inhuman screeching rang out in the distance and was growing ever closer. The tense waiting was broken when the blonde that they were looking for flew past them into a tree, followed by the biggest spider that any of the genin had ever seen before, it was easily the size of a full-grown adult male and had launched itself at Naruto, fangs dripping venom.
Naruto pulled up his ninjato and drove it right through the spider's face, sending the blood of the arachnid spraying all over the place. Swinging his blade upwards with a burst of wind chakra to bolster it he cut straight through the deadly creature.
Spitting on the corpse of the spider he turned to Team Gai, "Oh sweet Kami, what are you all doing here? Do you know where you are?"
Lee ran up to Naruto, "We've co to protect you Naruto-kun! We'll get you out of here in one piece, it's a promise!" Gai walked up to the two, "It's as Lee said, we've co to get you out of here before the sun goes down. Co on Naruto-kun, let's escape."
Naruto looked at Neji and Tenten who were both serious, but otherwise fully calm. He shook his head, "Gai-sensei is this the first ti that you've ever co this far inside of the Forest of Death?" Gai nodded and Naruto sighed, "You guys have no idea what you're getting into. Neji activate your Byakugan and tell what you see."
Neji did as instructed and gasped as he shakily spoke up, "I see at least a dozen of the spiders that Naruto just fought surrounding the area, watching us."
Naruto nodded as he saw the other genin pale, "That's why I don't tell anyone that I train here. There's no one that I would feel safe putting into this kind of situation. I co in here to fight against opponents that are willing to fight and kill . I can't take on people, but if I want to split a spider in half there are always a few dozen skulking around this place. It's the closest thing to simulating a real full pitched battle against a vicious enemy that you can get, definitely not for genin."
Naruto propped his ninjato on his shoulder, "Since you're here now I have to cut this session short. I was going to keep going until midnight and then make a mad dash out of here to escape, but having you guys show up has forced to skip straight to the bat out of hell rush that I was planning for later. You guys brought too many of them here. They'll co in waves to try and wear us down. You fight until I tell you to run and you follow out. Keep your eyes peeled when we break out, those sneaky bastards like to hide in the canopy and jump you from the shadows."
Tenten had to choke down her fear at the situation and brandish kunai when Naruto placed his hand on hers, "Naruto-kun what are you doing?"
Naruto's eyes darted around the area, "You're going to need sothing bigger than those. That will just piss them off. Kami, I just had to get stuck in this situation with a team of taijutsu specialists. None of you know any jutsu or how to use your elent with your fighting do you?"
Lee blinked at him in confusion, "Will taijutsu not work on them Naruto-kun?"
Naruto looked at Gai and Lee, "If you can generate enough force to crush the exoskeleton then it can, but you don't want to stay up close with these things unless you can smash them in one shot."
Gai shot Naruto a shiny smile, "Naruto-kun, it's ti to show you what good old-fashioned hard work and youth can do! Lee and I will have no trouble dealing with these spiders with our taijutsu! Neji how about you?"
Neji stood in his jyuuken stance, "If they have a chakra system, and they do, I can fight and kill them."
Naruto looked at Tenten who put her kunai up and unsealed a battle axe from a scroll, "I'm ready!"
Naruto stared at her blankly, "Tenten, you can use an axe? That's aweso..."
The first spider saw a mont of weakness and jumped from the trees at the group. Naruto jumped in the air and gave the spider a wide berth while swinging his blade. Extending the end of his sword with wind chakra he cut right through the spider and landed on the ground, "You fucking eight-legged pieces of shit just don't get it yet do you!" Naruto ford two Kage Bunshin to watch his back as he ran directly towards the closest spiders that would jump at him. He cut out one of the spider's legs from under it using a one-handed swing while simultaneously driving a Rasengan into the torso of another, carving into it with the force of a drill, sending guts all over the place, "I'm not trapped in here with you! You're trapped in here with !"
Naruto's clones ran to back him up as three more spiders erged from the surrounding area to attack. The giant arachnids were now extrely wary of Naruto's sword, seeing as how it had been his weapon of choice for the entire day's events. Getting sick of how the spiders were avoiding him he ripped a sword from one of his Kage Bunshin's hands and threw it at one while enhancing it with wind chakra, impaling it against a tree and killing it.
