The Forest of Death

The public and safest entry to the Forest of Death.

The forest of death is one of the most mystical properties of Konohagakure no Sato and the entire coutnry itself. The place is extremely dangerous and is the common place for criminals to flee and test their luck against the beasts that lurk inside. It can be a very peaceful place at times and blood thirsty most of the time. It held the Chuunin exams in the days of Naruto in the Fourty-fourth training ground and is a popular place for ninja to lurk.

There are very few secrets known about the forest. Some have reported seeing spirits, sprites and dimensions to other worlds inside. The NCIA were not able to conquer this natural defense, as if whatever that lurks inside was determined to keep them out. In the forest was the first meeting of the Konohagakure Resistance force, where the bodies of fallen soldiers came to life. To its own dismay, part of the forest was burned when Hyuuga Takumi fought a spider-shinobi captain from Otogakure no Sato. Most of the shinobi hadn't perished in the fire and it was put out later. In the recent years it has mostly grown back, at quicker rates than one might think.
