As he left Tobi had an surprise look on his face because he wanted to fight him, because Tobi could sense a large amount of chakra coming from him. Afterthat, then Sakura tried to convince Sasuke to dropped out, but Sasuke refused to give up and said " Although he doesn't actually care about becoming a chūnin, he must see how he does against some of the best new ninjas so he can avenge his family." Then the genins looked up at the screen to find who will be the first to spar. The screen said Sasuke Uchiha vs Yoroi Akado.

As Hayate signaled for the fight to begin, Sasuke and Yoroi got in their fighting stances. Then, Sasuke bite that he had suffered from Orochimaru started giving him intense pain, so he wasn't able to use ninjutsu or genjutsu.
