I don't own Naruto!
"The 10th and final match. Fighters step up. Kinuta Dosu vs. Chouji Akimichi. 10th match begin!"
"Do your best!" I hear Shikamaru say.
"Fatty!" Ino screams right afterward.
I then look at Chouji and see that he is pissed off. "Seems like he doesn't like to be called fat." I say to Yuki.
"Too bad he is…" Yuki says
"Ninpou Baika no Jutsu!" Chouji yells while putting up a hand sign. He then becomes really fat. "And Konoha Style hand to hand combat!" His arms, legs and head then go into his body as Blue Chakra comes out of it. He then begins to roll at a high rate as he yells, "Meat tank!" Chouji begins to roll after Kinuta, but he is rolling slowly.
"Alright! Crush him, Chouji!" Ino yells out.
Chouji continues to follow and try to trample Dosu, but Dosu jumps out of the way and Chouji crashes into a wall.
Dosu jumps up as he says, "You're not able to move like that, now." I look at Chouji and notice that he is stuck in the wall. "I will take advantage of that!" he then punches Chouji; his arm is practically stuck in Chouji's body.
"I have ear plugs so it is no use!" Chouji yells!"
"No it's over for you." Dosu then holds up a hand sign sending vibrations through Chouji's body. Then a lot of smoke appears. Chouji is back to his normal size and knocked out.
"More than 70 percent of the human body is made of water…. Water transmits sound…" Yuki says while looking down at Dosu and Chouji. "In other words, Chouji's whole body was like an ear. It didn't matter if Chouji had ear plugs or not."
"I guess your right… being a sound ninja has its perks…" I say while looking at the battle field.
"Winner, Dosu Kinuta." Hayate says.
Dosu then walks away.
"The main matches will finally begin." Yuki says.
Hayate says, "That concludes the Third Exam's preliminary matches."
All of the winners stand in a line to hear what we have to do next.
"To those who have made it to the main matches of the Chuunin Exam's Third Exam. All but one is here, so congratulations." Hayate says
"I will now begin the explanation for the main matches." The Hokage says.
"Bought time…" Yuki says under his breath.
'The plan father has in mind with this old hag. Hmm… I guess he did rub him off in the wrong way, he better hurry and finish his half of the job.' I think.
"Your main match fights will be shown in front of everyone." The Hokage says. "We wish for all of you to show off your abilities as you country's representative power. There for the main matches will begin in one month."
"We're not going to do it right here, right now?" Naruto asks.
"One month is a time to conduct appropriate preparations." The Hokage says.
"What do you mean?" Neji asks.
"In other words, we are going to announce to the feudal lords and head ninja of the individual countries that the preliminary matches have ended." The Hokage says. "Time is needed to gather those people for the main matches. This is also preparation time for you candidates."
"I still don't understand. Explain." Kankurou says.
"This time is used so you can know your enemy and yourself better. This is a time to analyze the information you have gathered during the preliminary matches." The Hokage says. "The battles we had been just like real combat situations. It has been done where both parties knew nothing of each other. But the main matches will not be like that. There are those who have revealed everything to their rivals. To make things fair, work hard and improve yourselves on your own in the next month."
'Looks like Yuki and I got a month to goof off!' I think happily. 'And train.'
"I want to let you guys go, but there is something important we must do before the main matches." The Hokage says.
"What is it? I have to hurry and train!" Naruto says.
"Don't get so hasty" the Hokage says. "Take a piece from the box that Anko is holding."
"I'll walk, so take it in turns." Anko says as she walks to each of us. "Take just one"
"Everyone got one?" Ibiki says. "Now, tell me what number you got starting from the left."
"Ten" Dosu says
"One." Naruto says
"Nine" Tamari says
"Seven" Kankurou says
"Three" Gaara says
"Eleven" Shikamaru says
"Two" Neji says
"Eight" Shino says
"Five." I say
"Four" Yuki says
"So he must be six" Ibiki says.
"We will now tell you the match ups for the tournament" the Hokage says
"So that what we drew for…" yuki says.
"Sir" Ibiki says as he shows us the match ups.
I looked at the board and see that I am up against Sasuke and Yuki against Gaara this should be fun.
"I have a question." Shikamaru says. "If it is a tournament, that means there's only one winner, right? Does that mean that only one person can become a Chuunin?"
"No, that's not how it is." The Hokage says. "These main matches will have judges, including me, Kazekage, as well as the feudal lords head ninja from the other countries, who will be potential clients. These judges will grade you by watching you in the tournament. And those who are qualified to be a Chuunin even if they lose in the first round will become a Chuunin. "
"So there's a possibility that everyone here can become a Chuunin?" Tamari says.
"Yes, but that also means that it's possible for no one to become a Chuunin." The Hokage says. "Winning the matches in the tournament means that you are able to show off your skills more. Understand Shikamaru-kun? That is all. We are adjourned until next month."
"So are we free to leave?" Yuki asks while tilting his head.
"Yes you are free to leave." Hokage says.
"Kay, Bye." Yuki says as he leaves. "Come on Mizuki."
I then walk out with him as the other ninja leave.
"I cant believe I am going against Gaara." Yuki says with a defeated look. "That is guaranteed death."
"Oh come on Yuki." I say with a reassuring voice. "You are strong, you will be able to defeat him. You could use that speed you so badly wanted to use against him."
"But I don't want to die…" He says.
"You will be fine."
"Mizuki we need to talk." Yuki says with a different tone.
"What is it about?" I ask him.
"We need to capture Sasuke and fast… when would be a good chance to get him." Yuki whispers as he looks around.
"I see..." I say to Yuki. "You are worried about Naruto, correct."
We proceed to leave the building and head to the wall of the city.
"He is the problem…. Sasuke, an avatar of vengeance, who has survived to kill his brother. He won't die until he completes his goal." Yuki says.
"What is your point?" I say to him.
"When he fights he knows he can't win, but fights father without the fear of death. One would think he was the type who was more careful with his life." Yuki says. "According to the info we gathered, Sasuke's heart and goal have changed because of the contact with that nine tailed kid."
"I do agree Naruto is very influential to Sasuke." I say as I remember how they interacted. "We have to separate them as soon as possible. We need to dye him back to father's color."
"How do you think we should capture him?" Yuki says as he jumps up to the top of the wall.
I quickly follow. "Well I am fighting Sasuke last and maybe during the fight we can set up a way to capture him."
"This is true." Yuki says with thought. "We also need to activate stage two of his curse mark."
"Well we will need that box to put him in after we seal it." I say to him.
"What box?" Yuki says confused.
I sigh as I say, "The one that we were placed in during the transition to stage two of the curse mark…"
Yuki shakes his head still clearly confused.
I do a face palm as I attempt to explain the box to him. "it is a brown cylinder box, with fathers purple rope thing around it." I look at Yuki's face and see that he is starting to remember. "Once the curse mark is touched, by father, you, or I, it will begin to phase into stage two. Because of that, the stage two is most dangerous, so to keep the person at bay, for the time being, we place seals all around the box to keep them in. the seals are released once the one inside the box successfully enters stage two."
"Oh!" Yuki says in excitement. "I remember that box!" He then stands up. "Looks like we are going to have to find father, correct?"
"Correct." I look around trying to see where father would be. "We would have to find him first, and I doubt that would be easy."
"It shouldn't be that hard, Mizuki-Chan." Yuki begins to pace. "We could use the Byakugan!"
"How would that help?"
"We could use it to find his chakra in the city." He proceeds to do a hand sign as his eyes turn a ghostly white. "He masked his chakra so that only we would be able to notice It." he finishes his hand sign as he says, "Byakugan!" revealing the veins in around his eyes. "Now to find him." he begins to scan the village.
"Did you find him yet?" I say impatiently
"I would find him faster if you would help." Yuki says as he continues to scan.
"It would be bad if we both show the Byakugan. I am trying to keep a low profile for the both of us." I say with a smile.
"Shut up Mizuki, we both know you just don't want to do it."
"What are you-"
"Found him!" Yuki says while pointing in the general direction father is at. "Let's go." He then gets up, deactivates his Byakugan, and jumps on the roof tops of the buildings.
I follow him closely.
"Let's update with father, and then we can sit down and eat." Yuki says
"Fine…" I say as my stomach growls.
"Hehehe your hungry aren't you."
"…" I continues to jump. "Yes, but we still have to talk to father."
"Ugh! Fine!" He says as proceeds to jump faster through the roof tops.
Yuki leads the way.
"How much farther?"
"He is right around this corner."
We jump down from the roof and see Orochimaru leaning on a pole.
"Hello father." We say with a bow.
