Sleepless D: Here we go people, another chapter, you must really like it to read it this far. Peace out.

Everyone stared at the electric board, waiting for the names to stop; it then showed two names 'Takumi Munashi Vs Tenten'. Everyone looked at the two contestants for them to get to the arena.

'Munashi? Why is that name familiar?' All of the high ranking ninja wondered but the Wave team

"Will the two contenders come down and prepare for the ninth match, after a second they were both on the main floor staring at each other.

"So what does a lovely young lady as you specialise in?" Takumi asked with a grin.

"Long ranged weaponry." Tenten smiled.

"Really? This should be interesting." Takumi grinned.

"Why?" She asked, seeing his reach for his back and quickly yanked out a very long samurai sword from his back.

"A swordsman Vs a weapon mistress...who will be the better?" He asked.

"Well...I certainly hope me." Tenten giggled and took out two scrolls.

"You may begin." Hayate says and takes a step back.

Tenten quickly jumps back and opens her scrolls and quickly smears blood on them, making weapons shoot out and he aimed them at Takumi. He just stood there and watched as the weapons flew towards him, he noticed a few smoke bombs hit the ground near him and covered his line of sight in hopes to make it hard for the man. The weapons hit the ground and hopefully its target, Tenten waited for a minute as the smoke cleared, she readied her weapon to attack again should he still be standing.

The entire room were shocked that Takumi stood there while scratching his arm like he was waiting for something and all the weapons were scattered around him and very dented. "What the?" Tenten said astonished.

"I hope that's not all." Takumi said while kicking a small kunai near his feet with the other weapons.

Tenten frowned at this and quickly sent a few kunai at him with paper bombs attached to them. 'This'll make him move.' Tenten grinned.

Takumi smirked and quickly placed his sword back behind him inside his oversized jacket, making it look like his putting it away and shocking most people by this. When the kunai were a few feet away, his arm flashed and a small explosion occurred, sending small scraps of metal everywhere, the smoke cleared and Takumi's blade was smoking.

Xxx

"What was that?" Lee asked.

Neji was confused as well and quickly activated his Byakugan and was shocked by one thing and confused by a second thing. "He has two sheaths; one for his sword...while the other one appears to have paper bombs in it." Neji answered Lee's question first.

Both Kakashi and Guy heard this and were shocked by this. "So that's why his last name's familiar..." Kakashi said, making everyone look at him.

"W-Why? W-What's familiar about T-Takumi's last n-name?" Hinata asked, scratching the animal like Naruto who grinned at the attention as he sat next to her.

"He is the son of one of the Seven Ninja Swordsman of the Hidden Mist." Someone said near them, making some of the Genin jump and look to see Haku standing nearby. "His father and Zabuza worked well together...they were the leaders of the coup d'état and they wanted to run the Mist village their way. But they also wanted to take out the Fourth Mizukage because they were some of the people that knew he was being controlled and wanted to do something about it...however Jinpachi*, Takumi's father was given a mission with a large team shortly before the actual coup d'état. Only survivor came back saying that a snake man attacked them and killed Jinpachi and took his sword." Haku said.

"W-What?" Hinata asked in disbelief, remembering a snake man attacking them before, Kakashi was on the same lines and wondered if it was Orochimaru that did it.

"Zabuza gave Takumi that sword as a gift, to remember his father and to ready him for when they find the original sword." Haku said.

"But how do you know if it was the 'snake man' that killed him?" Guy asked.

"Because the two ninja's that survived was Jinpachi's loyal friend, he's been looking after Takumi since that day and he's standing right there." Haku points towards her assigned Sensei.

"If he has been taking care of this person, then why is the person's chakra coils been destroyed?" Neji asks, now stating his original shock.

Everyone looked at Neji in confusion. "His chakra coils are in worst shape then Lee's, and his isn't naturally done." He says, still watching Takumi deflect weapons thrown by Tenten. "It's a miracle he's even alive."

"Well...Zabuza and Jinpachi had more planed then to take care of the Mizukage...because the Mizukage had a tailed beast in him." Haku began, the younger ones hearing this were confused and had heard of Tailed beasts, but for someone to have one inside him, the seniors there were a little surprised but they'd heard rumours, Naruto on the other hand just stared at Haku while he spoke. "Takumi was born years before the coup d'état but they had been planning before that, they had Medical ninja's destroying Takumi's coils to use him as a container when they defeated the Mizukage.

"T-That's horrible." Hinata said.

"I agree!" Lee announces. "No person should be treated like that to be used as a tool! It's so unyouthful!"

"That's the way for the Shinobi; we're used as tools of war, even if it's a family member." Kakashi sighed, he never liked that saying.

"But if it was altered by Medical Jutsu, then his coils should be healing, not remain like that." Neji said.

"That's when Kenta comes in." Haku nodded towards his 'Sensei'.

"What! I'll show him not to use people like that!" Lee yelled and began to walk towards the man.

"Don't." Haku tells him, he looks at Haku in protest but Haku spoke again. "That's one of Takumi's dreams...he wishes to become the next container for his father, that's why it's been continued for this long, and there's complications because the Three Tailed Beast is missing since the Forth Mizukage vanished, but we believe him dead**." Haku said, making everyone look in surprise but said no more about it. "His other dream is to find his father's killer and take the sword back." Haku said, Naruto couldn't help but look surprised in his animal state, along with the others.

"Well that's understandable...what is that boy doing?" Kakashi asked, seeing the Wave ninja begin doing hand signs, surprising everyone that he was going to try and do a Jutsu.

"He can't possibly-" Neji said, but was shocked when he shot a water ball at Tenten, who had only managed to dodge. "Impossible..." He said aloud.

"Yes...but if a person tries hard enough, even people with no chakra control can use Jutsu's...but it come at a heavy price." Haku said, wondering what Takumi was thinking by doing that.

Lee looked in shock and admiration. 'Even someone that's chakra coils are worst then mine can use Ninjutsu...Maybe someday I can do the same...' He smiled

Xxx

Takumi dropped down and was breathing hard, cursing that he got reckless by attacking her like that because she managed to cut him a few times. "I can't do that again..." Takumi breathed as he stood back up. "Maybe something that requires less chakra..." He said, only managing to dodge more weapons thrown from Tenten.

"Stay still!" Tenten yelled, throwing everything she had in one scroll at him before going to another.

'I've got to hide." Takumi thought as he did a few more hand seals, after a few seconds a thick mist covered everything, this made Tenten worry as she had lost sight of the target.

Xxx

Neji and Hinata activated their Byakugan to see what's going on; they saw Takumi breathing heavily against a wall while Tenten was looking everywhere.

"What the hell! We can't see the fight!" Ino yelled in anger.

Naruto just grunted in annoyance that he couldn't smell anything anymore.

Gaara was highly annoyed because his sand was getting damp, but it was safe enough to use without worry of it being too hard.

Dosu couldn't help but smirk, knowing he'll be able to follow the fight by sound and vibrations in the air alone.

Xxx

Takumi regained his breath, knowing he wouldn't last much longer if he continues to use chakra like this, he rushed towards where he knew Tenten was, his steps weren't as quiet as he would like because of all the weapons around. He saw Tenten and quickly placed his sword against her neck, making her pause in fear. "You better...give up..." Takumi told her, he was shocked when he saw her smirk.

"Make me." Tenten said and puffed away into smoke and left behind a small ball with kunai sticking out of it, he then noticed a paper bomb on it and cursed.

'Substation with a bloody Exploding Sphere!' Takumi yelled to himself.

He noticed a giggle coming from the mist. "I've won." She giggled, Takumi knew that it was Tenten; he quickly moved his sword back into his jacket with much force, he whipped it out and launched it at the direction she came from, just before the ball exploded and sent him flying into the wall. It missed Tenten and was embedded in the ground next to her, she was confused. "What the-" She began but saw several paper bombs attached to the sword and it exploded before she could react and flew several feet away.

The mist started to clear and Hayate stared to see an unconscious and burnt Tenten and Takumi embedded into the wall, he walks over to him and also sees that he's unconscious. "Both contenders are unconscious, meaning that both participants won't go to the Third test." Hayate announces.

Medical ninja make their way to the two Genin and take them away as the board came to life once again. 'Hinata Hyuga Vs Neji Hyuga' was shown on the board; the air seemed to intensify when they saw this for some reason.

Hinata started to shake with fear as Neji smirked and made his way to the arena, Naruto noticed Hinata shaking but managed to make her stop by nibbling her hand for stop stroking him. "Oww! Naruto-Kun! D-Don't do t-that!" She told him.

Naruto just grinned and tackled her, scaring her once again as he was trying to rip her coat off, Kakashi picked him up by the scruff of his neck and held him away from Hinata. "Hinata, you're keeping everyone waiting." Kakashi smiled as he held the now struggling Naruto, Hinata grew nervous as she looked at Neji. "Don't worry; I know you'll do well." Kakashi told her.

Hinata nodded and jumped down and faced Neji, he just glared at her as she looked at him. "I never imagined I'll face you in combat Hinata-Sama." Neji said.

"Me too...Neji..." Hinata whispered.

"You may begin!" Hayate announces and steps away.

"I must tell you something." Neji said to Hinata, she looked at him in confusion. "You'll never defeat me, you'll be better off to forfeit now." Neji told her with hate in his eyes.

Hinata looked surprised and nervous now, Neji continued telling her that she's weak and pathetic, not meant to be a Shinobi and that she couldn't change that. Hinata started looking depressed as Neji continued his assault of mocking her and putting her down, everyone that knew Hinata was shocked by Neji's talk about destiny.

Naruto managed to get free while hearing this, his eyes were more white and his teeth seemed to sharpen as he stood and watched Hinata being put down, he walked up to the railings and slammed his fist down on it, causing it and the ground below it to shatter and collapse. "HINATA! KILL THIS BASTARD!" Naruto yelled in anger, sounding more animal then human, Hinata was surprised that he could remember her name and smiled cause of it.

Neji looked and glared at Naruto while the people near him tried to not get shaken by the force of his hit and stop him from jumping down and kill Neji. "Pathetic person, he can't even keep his hormones under control, he won't make it far with that brain of his." Neji said and turned to Hinata and was surprised by Hinata's eyes. 'Her fear is gone...but there's something else...' Neji thought as Hinata got in her Gentle Fist stance and he did the same. "I take it you won't give up." Neji says.

Hinata's answered that by charging at him, Neji did the same and they started attacking each other and dodging every attack, this continued for a minute and they both jump back. Hinata had been hit in a few none critical areas while Neji was surprised that she hit him at all while having the same damages.

Naruto pushed the small group of ninja off him and stood by what was left of the railing and watched, the others watched Naruto to make sure he doesn't do anything rash. Hinata and Neji went back to attacking each other, making small hits that didn't look painful but were very agonising, Naruto was getting annoyed and grabbed onto the railing and was crushing it with his grip. "BEAT HIM!" Naruto ordered Hinata.

When Naruto said that, Neji just chuckled believing that it was useless, but was very surprised that when Hinata moved her palm at his face and he was sent flying backwards. He managed to land safely but it felt as though he ran as fast as Lee into a metal wall, he blinked as he saw Hinata's eyes. "W-What is the meaning of this?" Neji said quietly, seeing something that shouldn't be in her eyes, one black dot in each eye. 'A Hyuga never has developed pupils before...' Neji thought, wondering how she gained those.

Hinata glared at Neji and thrusts her palm at Neji and he went flying again and he landed with difficulty on his feet. "What's going on?" Lee wondered.

'Is she using... Eight Trigrams Air Palm?' Neji wondered as she thrusts her palm again, but Neji dodged it this time and charged at Hinata, she continued her thrusts towards Neji until he was a few feet away from her. She went on defence and kept blocking Neji's attacks as he continued, cursing as he was failing. 'I won't lose to Hinata! I'll have to use my ultimate technique against her!' Neji thought to himself, annoyed that he'd have to use that technique against her, he moved back and quickly went into a new stance. "Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!" Neji yelled and charged at Hinata.

Hinata didn't have time to react and got it, 'Two, four, eight, sixteen, thirty-two.' Neji would yell but Hinata pulled her palm back and launch it towards Neji as he was about to finish. 'Sixty-four' Neji yelled, Hinata's palm stopped an inch away from his face and both of them were sent flying away and crashed into the ground. Hinata's charka was sealed while Neji just got hit point blank range by an Air Palm, they remained laying there in pain and Hayate stepped forward and looked at them both.

"Since both fighters are still awake, I'll allow then to have the chance to stand within ten seconds, if neither should stand beforehand, they'll both lose, if one stands then he or she wins and if both should stand, then it'll continue." Hayate said, showing ten fingers and started counting down.

Both Neji and Hinata were trying to stand as quickly as they could, but it was easier said than done, they only managed to get to their knees when five seconds remained.

They placed their hands onto their knees to try and push themselves up. 'How is she even moving?' Neji wondered, feeling blood pore down his face by a broken nose,

Four, they used all their strength in them to put one foot on the ground, Hinata started coughing up blood by trying to move.

Three, they were shaking as they tried to stand up, both cringing in pain as they managed to lift their other leg up.

Two, both were shaking on their feet, feeling like they'll drop, but they needed to stand up properly.

One, thump.

"And the winner is...Neji." Hayate announced, Neji looked over to see Hinata laying on her face, but Neji didn't care, he was in too much pain but tried to hide it as he moved back towards his team.

"HINATA!" Naruto roared, pure anger printed on his face as he tried to go to her but Kakashi held him back.

"Relax Naruto, she'll be fine, just relax and we'll go visit her after this has finished." Kakashi told him, Naruto relaxed a bit but glared at Neji as the Medical ninja fixed his face because Neji didn't want to go to the medical ward.

Neji wandered towards his team and somehow managed to jump up to them and relaxed by resting against the wall. "I'll...kill...you..." Naruto said darkly and animal like as he glared at Neji, wanting blood.

"You won't be able to." Neji said as he looked at the now active board that showed the names 'Gaara Vs Rock Lee'

(This match is the same with even more reactions by their power)

Naruto grinned and wondered if he was faster than Lee when he went supernova, but was highly angered by Gaara crushing his arm and leg. "New...predator..." Naruto mumbled.

'Why are all the weak showing such strength?' Neji wondered.

"Pathetic." Gaara murmurs and vanishes into sand and stands by his team.

'This mission has become a suicide mission...But I now understand your plan Orochimaru...' Dosu thought. 'I have to come up with a plan...'

(The last battle ended the same with Dosu winning)

Xxxxx

All of the graduates stood before the Hokage and listened as they were told they have a month till the final exam to rest and train and so on and so forth. "You'll pick a number out of the box." The Hokage said and Anko steps forward and holds the box before the group.
