Lee's unyielding spirit began to drop as he could not spot his opponent. He looked down from the stands and noticed the girl from the mysterious duo in front of him.

"I'm sorry, but you must leave, as I am waiting for my opponent." Lee said trying to be polite.

The proctor looked to Lee incredulously "This is your opponent."

Sakura observed at the two people on the stage "I thought Toru was a boy's name."

"Don't be certain that those are their true names," Gaara said seriously.

Lee was unsure how to feel about facing such a frail young female who would usually be the type of person he would vow to protect. She was small, being a good three inches shorter than him and she had an innocent face, at least that's what he thought based on what he could see of it. The mask obscured any easy to identify features. Her blank black eyes though, were quite unnerving. He took a fighting stance and waited for her to make a move. Lee had decided that he would try to take her out quickly with as little pain as possible. He felt somewhat bad for the petit kunoichi.

He waited for a few moments and she had not made a move. She stood there waiting. He would feel bad about making the first move but if this battle was to progress he would have to. He darted behind her at an almost blindingly fast pace and swung his leg at her head. She leaped forward onto her hands and then swung her legs around at his head. He had moved out of the way of her attack, but he was shocked at how well she reacted to his assault.

Toru pulled out two kunai and began to swing them around on wire strings, much like a rope javelin. She had figured out his range and was now trying to prevent it.

"That's it." Gaara remarked.

"You mean…" Sakura looked to him. Her attention was quickly grabbed by the action on the ground.

Lee could get past her, but he would need his full speed. He went about removing his leg weights when shuriken were launched with deadly accuracy at him. He narrowly escaped the barrage of weapons but noticed they too had wire strings attached to them. A blue fire fed along them and Lee made for the air, his foot getting slightly scorched. While in flight, he removed his leg weights and then disappeared through his sheer speed and got behind Toru. He almost landed a well aimed punch but she rolled out of the way as the flames died down.

There was no way she could have seen him approach from behind. He was too fast. "How is she doing this?" Sakura asked amazed.

Gaara scanned over the now dangerous genin and spotted something "What's that on her shoulder?"

Sakura squinted and noticed it. The lizard that was spying off her test was watching the kunoichi's backside, "She must be able to see whatever that lizard does! That's how she can see Lee's attacks coming!"

Lee overheard Sakura's revelation. It was helpful, but not terribly so because he couldn't think of a way to counter her second set of eyes. She had retrieved a large number of shuriken from her pouch now and with a puff of smoke she was now holding one demon wind shuriken. She heaved it at him and he fell back, expecting it to lose momentum. She made a hand sign and it turned into the original smaller shuriken she had retrieved. They continued at him and he dodged quickly. Lee didn't see one of them though and it hit him in the shoulder.

"This doesn't seem to be going well," Kakashi commented.

"Nonsense! Lee can take down this little girl with the power of youth!" Gai replied to his rival, desperately not wanting to have his student shown up by the pink haired girl that took the floor last match. Kakashi sighed. He knew that Lee's opponent had many more tricks up her sleeve and wasn't going to give up easily.

Toru had halted her assault presumably to gather a plan for her next move. Lee quickly took advantage of this and made directly for a kick to her head. It landed and her head began to turn. Shockingly she didn't fly backward, but instead her head kept turning. It turned one hundred and eighty degrees around, totally facing behind her.

Lee was petrified. Had he just killed the young maiden of which he was forced to battle? She didn't fall to the ground. She stood there and those in the stands could see a distinctly shocked look in her eyes. Lee trembled, hoping that he had not just murdered the girl who had proven to be a worthy competitor. Soon enough though, her head began to turn unnaturally. Her head rolled around with the sound of her spine shifting and blood rushing through her veins. Lee was taken aback by this but relieved somehow that she was alive.

She grabbed shuriken once again and aimed straight for his vital points. She maneuvered them with the strings now seeking for his throat and vital organs between his ribs. Coming back to reality he dodged, one of the shuriken hitting him in the thigh. His leg hurt but he couldn't let that slow him down.

He went toward her and attempted a flurry of punches and kicks. She dodged and then pulled out a kunai. Toru then placed the kunai in the pressure point between his collar bone and shoulder. She applied pressure, sinking it into his flesh and he blacked out.

Gai looked at his unconscious student in complete and utter astonishment. He had truly believed that Lee had the upper hand and would win. Gaara and Sakura's suspicions of the two, now obviously deadly genin were only confirmed with this display of skill. The girl still on the stage moved some of her black hair out of her eyes and waited for the medical nin to rush to the field and remove that green suited genin that she had defeated. Gai rushed out of the arena to the infirmary.

The next match was revealed to be "Gaara vs. Shino".

Author's Note: I just killed off Lee *dodges rocks being thrown* JK! JK!

Oh my! Three chapters in one night? What is this madness. (Its the procrastination of homework, but who's asking?)

You my have figured from the amount of detail in this chapter that Toru is an OC of mine. If you want to know more about her or just want some minor spoilers, you can find her wiki page here: wiki/Toru_Narisada
