   Naruto Story Chapter 7
Chapter 7: The Second Test! Life or Death!
"Are you okay, Rima?" Mizu asked, looking at him sitting by the tree. "Hmph. She can't take me down that
easily." He said in a mean tone. "Okay....test two...hmm...ya know...I did'nt think you would get this
far.....so I have'nt thought about a second test yet." Keiko said, smiling. "WHAT?!" We all shouted.
"Hehe.." She rubbed the back of her neck. "How about we take a lunch break and take the second test after
wards? It's almost noon." She asked, looking at her watch. I decided to take my team to my grandma's res-
araunt for lunch. We ate alot of ramen and talked about ourselves. Even Rima said something. When we got
back to the forest, she said we would be around water for our second test. "Oh yeah!" Mizu said. "Water
is my element!" She exlaimed proudly. "Swimmming is a great way to build muscle. The stronger you are, the
more chakra and better control you have." She winked. When we got to the river, she told us to swim from one
end to the other. It's not a race, so you don't have to rush to get ahead of each other. Just make it to the
other end." She dissappeared. "I'll be waiting at the other side! Ready...set.......go!" She called. We swam
off. Mizu was ahead of us. I swam as fast as I could, but I could'nt keep up with Mizu. Rima was way behind.
"I....hate......swimming!" He shouted. We were running out of energy and getting slower and slower when we
heard a roaring noise. "It's too loud out here!!" Rima called. By that time, we were all together. Soon,
the water started pulling us along. "Oh no! It's a waterfall!" Mizu shouted over the roaring noise. I saw
Keiko on the riverbank. "Oh I forgot about the waterfall....this will be a great way to pass the second
test! Save each other from drowning!" She called. "What?!" I thought. "She wants us to try to get out
of this by ourselves?" I thought. "We are all gonna die!" Rima said. We were getting closer to the waterfall.
Rima spotted a rock standing up from the top of the waterfall. He pulled out some rope, and grabbed the rock.
He quickly tied the rope around the rock and grabbed my arm as I was falling down the waterfall. Then Mizu
grabbed my foot. "Gotcha." Rima smiled as we hung there. But, the rock was so slippery and the water was
rushing so fast that the rope slipped off and we all tumbled down. Rima and I held on to each other and
screamed. Mizu concentrated her chakra. "It's no use! I'm not strong enough to break our fall! She called as
we tumbled closer to the sharp rocks and rough water. "Rocks! Rima shouted. Rima
let go and made some hand signs. suddenly the rocks busted into sections big enough to land on. I grabbed
Mizu and Rima's hands and turned so I would hopefully land on my feet on a large section of rock. "Are you
insane? You'll die if you try to land like that! Mizu mustered up all of the chakra she had and we floated safely
to the rock. We sat there gasping for air, soaked. But our troubles were'nt over yet. The rock flipped over and we
were back in the water again. Mizu was too weak to swim because she used all of her chakra to break our fall. Rima
was holding on to her, fighting the tide. Keiko was watching. "Keep going guys you are doing great!" She called
from the bank, running after us. "Worthless teacher! Is she trying to get us killed?" Rima said, fighting the
water and holding Mizu at the same time. Suddenly I remembered a jutsu I had just learned. I threw some roses
in a straight line accross the river to the bank. Rose whip jutsu! I shouted, making signs. The roses turned ino a
whip. Keko picked up the end of the whip avoiding the sharp, poisonus barbs. She carefully pulled me in. I reached over
to grab Rima's hand, but he was too far. "Rima!" I shouted over the rushing water. "Don't worry, I'll find a way out of
this!" He shouted, still fighting to get to the shore. "We've got to save Rima and Mizu!" I shouted when I got to the
riverbank. "Yes I know!" Keiko said as we ran after him as the current carried him down the river. Soon, he got to an-
other waterfall that dumped into the ocean! I got an idea. "Hold on Rima! I'm coming!" I pulled out a rope I was
carrying, and tied one end to a tree. Then I tied the other end around my waist and jumped into the river. I fought
the rushing water as I got closer to Rima. "Here.....save Mizu.." He pushed her to me. I grabbed her around the waist.
"What about you?!" I called as he got closer to the fall. "Don't worry about me!!" He shouted, and then he dissappea-
red over the waterfall. Keiko pulled us back to the shore. I felt like crying. "We have got to go see if Rima is okay!"
I shouted to Keiko, then took off down the river. When I did'nt see him anywhere around the waterfall, I started to
cry. "He sacrificed himself to save us..." I said to Keiko. "Hey! Is anyone up there?!" I heard a voice call from the edge
of the cliff. I looked down, and saw him hanging on to a rock sticking out of the cliff. He was so far down, he was almost
about to be swept away by the water. "Rima!" I was so happy. "Hold on, I'll save you! Keiko, do you have any ropes or
anything?" I asked her. "Yeah....she reached into her coat, and pulled a rope off her belt. "Here." I threw it down to
Rima. "Grab a hold!" I called. He reached up and grabbed the rope. He clung to it. Keiko and I had to struggle to pull
him up. He sat on the bank, breathing heavily.
