"Hold up." I say to him. "The sand. You came here from the Sand."
"Yes I came from the sand." He answers me. I laugh out loud at this.
"So you live here now." I ask Soul.
"After the exams I-"Soul is cut off as Hayates' voice comes over the sound system.
"We welcome all the villages to our humble village. The exams shall start in 5 minutes. All teams entering the final round need to go to their assigned room."
I turn around and head to room 3 where our team was stationed at. I lean against the wall analyzing my teammate's expressions. Itachis' face was like my, a neutral stone face. Yuki lips where a thin white line. "Scarlet Uzumaki and Soul Uzumaki please be on standby." Hayates voice crackled over the system. I got up and nodded to Itachi and Yuki and they nod back. I walk out of the room and to the elevator. I steady my breathing as the elevator lurches downward. The elevator slowly makes it way downwards. It takes about five minutes to get to the bottom.
I step out into the bright sunlight blinking it away. I step out into the arena dry grass crinkling underfoot. I walk to the middle to where Anko waits. "Soul Uzumaki, Scarlet Uzumaki, you two will be the first match of the day. If you wish to drop out say so now." We don't utter a word and Anko nods her head. "If you wish to surrender during the match please voice it. I am allowed to call the match at any time. I will tell you when to begin." Anko walks a good distance away before she brings her hand. "BEGIN!" She shouts and I immedently backpedal away. Soul stands there glaring at me as if I had a killed animal.
"Let the real fun begin." He utters to me as he suddenly appears behind me. I
"The fun won't begin till we make a move." I whisper to him as one of my clones hold a kunai to his back.
