"Next up is Genma…" Tsunade says quietly into the mike, not wanting to disturb the couple. She smiles softly at them. 'Awe…young love. Maybe I should bring him back completely…' She nods silently. 'I'll do that…'

'I can't believe he…I can't believe he…I'll kill him…I'll KILL him…she was MINE' Genma thinks, shaking in silent fury. 'I'll castrate him, stick and arrow through his heart, behead him and then I'll burry him 600 feet under so he STAYS dead!'

"Genma!" The man's head shoots up, surprised at getting yelled at. "You're up!" Tsunade shouts, tapping her foot on the floor impatiently. People laugh when a swift pink blush crosses his cheek.

"H-hai!" (Y-yes) He hurries to the stage, selects the song he had thought up of from the first time he heard about it, and pressed play. Music similar to Deidara's comes out.

Itachi hangs his head forlornly. "No…not this song, too!" he whimpers.

Deidara giggles and grabs his arm. "See? I'm not the only one who likes Creed! Young Grow Old!" He laughs more, using Itachi as a support so he doesn't fall and mar his pretty, girlie face. (Deidara: HEY! Author: XD)

"He said he's falling to pieces
Fighting the boy and the man
Over his shoulder there was freedom
But consciousness has tied his hands" Genma signs. He, unfortunately, did not live up to his fellow exam proctors' legacy. He wasn't excellent, but he wasn't horrible, either.

MEANWHILE

"So…you really love me?" Anko questions, looking up with starry eyes at Gekkou. He nods and kisses her again.

GENMA WAS IGNORED COMPLETELY BY THE WOMAN HE LOVES (Genma: Did you have to use capitals? T-T Author: Why yes…yes I did…)

"Embodied youth was his distinction
Now inhibition's in demand
So driven by his fear of weakness
That's his key to understand" He sings, trying to hold back sorrowful tears.

'Poor Genma…' Kakashi thinks watching the dejected singer. "Hmm…he looks upset, no?" he questions his two students.

"Hn…he seems a little distressed…" Sasuke agrees. He looks over to Sakura. 'She's been sad like that…she should be able to recognize and realize the cause for it.'

"I agree…but I just don't know why!" Sakura admits. She looks slightly concerned. "I've never seen him like this!"

Kakashi smiles. 'So neither of them can figure it out…' he silently laughs. "Well…he should be fine in a little while! Don't worry your pretty little heads over it!" He sniggers at his students' glares.

"So far in a distant land
There's a fight between boy and man
See the light through the open door
Sit and watch as the young grow old" Genma frowns. 'I wish I had used a song to get back at Gekkou-ass…'

"Trading places in the circle
Turn the glass, spill the sand
They say that time can make the difference
But age doesn't make you a man" 'And from what I see…' Genma thinks grimly. 'Neither does death…'

"So far in a distant land
There's a fight between boy and man
See the light through the open door
Sit and watch as the young grow old

So young but overblown
So young but overblown
So young but overblown"

Orochimaru frowns. "I don't like this song. I don't like it!" He grabs Kabuto and shakes him roughly. "I DON'T LIKE IT!"

Kabuto frowns and turns slightly green. "O…ok…sir…let…me go…PLEASE!" Orochimaru lets go of the youth. "Yahhh!" Kabuto falls to the ground and just lies there.

"Take a look now, see the boy is weakened
Watch him fade, watch him fade away
Take a bow and the boy is defeated
Is this the way, this the way?
So far in a distant land
there's a fight between boy and man
See the light through the open door
Sit and watch, as the young grow old"

Genma gets off the stage and sits in a corner, embarrassed that he sounded bad.

Tsunade grabs the abandoned mike. "NEXT UP…HAKU!"

Poor Genma. I like him! I really do! I'm just feeling mean today…
