Yeees, this exam was conceptualized off of the Forest of Death in canon. I wanted something that was alike, but not alike it. This exam is more obviously bloody than the FoD partly because of the different makeup of the village that's hosting it--Kumo is bloodier than Konoha, in nature, in this fic and that's reflected here. Also a big difference is the Forest of Death was designed to give the teams more room to move whereas this testing location is far more stifled and cramped--and cramped, unhappy ninja are not nice ninja. (And, too, we're never told if in canon the teams that don't make it through the FoD are dead or not. Of the Konoha Genin, only Hinata's team killed anyone. They got another team, from their own village, (in the manga, that is, they changed it to another village in the anime) in a trap with flesh-eating leeches and left them there. So, yeah. I think partly it's that the other Konoha Genin were otherwise occupied in canon that makes this seem bloodier ( ... )
