Senju Teruko

"Looks like he won." Kenji thought. Kakashi escorted Sasuke away and Naruto became curious.

"Oi Sakura." he said and Sakura turned to him.

"Did you see some kind of werid wound on Sasuke's neck?" Naruto asked her. Sakura went blank, Kenji stepped in.

"Yeah, Orochimaru branded it on him. While you were out cold Sasuke attacked us. He's not safe to be around." Kenji said. "You should've seen Sakura's sissy look then! It was great!" she whispered to him.

"Umm, now then. We'll get right to it and begin the second match." Hayate said. Everyone watched the electronic board shuffle through names. It stopped on Zaku Abumi vs Aburame Shino.

"Speaking of which, how did they survive?" Sakura asked. The Sound Genin team all had stab wounds,

"They probably cheated their way out of that forest." Kenji answered. Zaku and Shino faced each other in the arena. Kenji saw that Zaku's arms were being slung.

Hayate started the match and got out of the way. "Hey, Sakura. Do you remember when that guy broke his arms or something?" Kenji asked Sakura.

"Huh? Now that you mention it. I can't remember him breaking his arms. . . Why are they in a sling?" Sakura asked.

"If you fight here you'll be finished. Withdraw!" Shino demanded his opponent. Zaku didn't listen to his warning and brought out one of his arms. He tried to attack with one arm. Air blasted out from him palm again and Shino fell flat on his face.

The audience from Konoha started to get worried. The arena become very dusty and Zaku was sure he was winning. "Hey, get up!" he said.

Shino stood up and when the dust cleared everyone could see insects crawling out from Shino's body and all over the arena. "These things are called "Kikaichu" they attack their prey in groups and eat chakra." Shino told him. "When attacked by this multitude. . . Make no mistake, you're finished." he said

Zaku growled at him. "If you don't like that, give up. That would be in your best interests. If you use your left arm technique on me, I'll simultaneously have the bugs exploit the opening from behind. Conversely, if you use your technique on the bugs, I'll simultaneously exploit the opening." Shino said. "Either way, you won't be able to get through this." he deduced and made the tiger seal. "An ace in the hole is something you set aside." he said.

Zaku aimed his left hand at Shino. "Don't underestimate me!" he yelled and aimed his right hand at the insects. "An ace in the hole is something you set aside, right?!" Zaku yelled.

! Shino was shocked that his statement was thrown back at him like that.

"Nani?! He could already use his right arm?!" Kiba exclaimed.

"I knew it. He was faking it this whole time." Sakura said.

Zaku was ready to blast both Shino and the insects. Then a lot of chakra dispersed into the air from Zaku's arms.

! Kenji gasped.

Zaku groaned. "My arms!" he screamed and looked at his palms. There were loads of insects crawling into his air tubes. Shino appeared behind him, when Zaku tried to attack him physically Shino punched him in the face and Zaku fell to the ground. Hayate decided that Shino was the winner and Zaku was taken away. Shino started walking back upstairs.

"Suge, I never knew he was that strong." Kenji said, she watched Shino walk up.

"Phew, he really gives me a chill." Kurenai thought. "But he's much better than that girl." she thought as she threateningly looked at Kenji.

Kenji noticed her and looked down shamefully. "What!? So Shino, you were that strong, were you!? Dang it!" Naruto exclaimed. Sakura had her hands close to her chest.

"I thought he was a creepy person from long before, but. . ." she said.

"Umm, now then, I would like to get right to the next match." Hayate said.

Then Kakashi appeared behind his team. "Yo." he said.

"Kakashi Sensei!" Naruto said.

"Huh, someone conveniently takes a whole match just to take care of Sasuke." Kenji said.

"Well, I ran into a small thing. . ." Kakashi lied. "I don't think I should tell her what really happened." he thought.

"What about Sasuke-kun? Is he ok?" Sakura asked.

"Well, he's fine. He's sleeping soundly in the infirmary." Kakashi answered. Sakura sighed in relief. "However, with Anbu ops standing as guards. . ." Kakashi thought.

"Oh!" Naruto uttered. The electronic board said Senju Teruko vs Kankuro. Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi looked at Kenji.

"Na-Nani!? What are you guys looking at me for?" she asked.

Kabuto's teammate, Teruko walked downstairs. Kankuro also started walking, the kunoichi that was going to fight had long white hair and red eyes. She wore a blue long sleeved shirt with a high collar that covered her mouth from a normal angle and dark brown pants. Her collar also had the Senju clan crest on it. She wore dark grey ninja sandals and her headband was tied around her forehead. The knot was visible at the back of her head.

"That girl. . ." Kakashi said.

"Huh? You know her too?" Sakura asked.

"Well, I ran into her a while back. . ." Kakashi answered.

"How badly did you lose?" Kenji asked.

"She had me on my hands and knees." he admitted.

"That bad?" Naruto asked with a drop of sweat.

"Tch! She's just a pretty face, she's not gonna put up much of a fight. In that case. . ." Kankuro thought and set his possession on his back down. "I'll end this quickly with my trump card." he said.

Teruko furrowed her brows she took out a kunai knife and flipped it in her hand. She bent her knees and stood in a stance. She and Kankuro glared intensely at each other.

"Now, start!" Hayate started the third match.

Teruko instantly stabbed Kankuro's hand with her kunai. "She's fast!" he thought. Then she pointed the blade up and raised her hand with her knife slicing right up his face. He fell back dropping his bandaged wrapped tool.

Sakura and Naruto gasped. Teruko flipped her knife to her side and started walking, she stepped past Kankuro's tool and stopped in front of him. She used her foot to turn him over. She gasped.

"Now it's my turn." an inhuman voice said.

Teruko threw the kunai at his face and then she jumped back escaping a puppet's arms. "That was close." she thought.

The bandages unravelled revealing Kankuro controlling the puppet. "So that's his real body. . . He switched himself out." she thought.

"It's over!" Kankuro said and yanked his hand towards himself. The puppet rushed over to Teruko but she didn't budge.

"W-what is she doing!?" Naruto asked.

"This puppet. . ." Teruko said.

? "What is she saying?!" Kankuro thought.

"Wouldn't happen to be made of wood, would it?" she asked. The puppet suddenly stopped half a meter from her. It's stop was so sudden that her hair blew back a little.

"What!?" Kankuro tried controlling the puppet but it couldn't attack Teruko.

"That's unfortunate." Teruko said. She turned and raised her right leg. She spun it around in a roundhouse kick and smashed right through the puppet. It's pieces fell to the floor.

"That's impossible." Kankuro said.

"Now," Teruko turned around to face Kankuro. She made the hand seals boar, dog, ram and held her palm in front of her. "Suiton: Hahonryuu!" (Water style: Ripping torrent). Water spiraled in her palm and she threw it at Kankuro creating a vortex.

The water hit him and pushed him into the the wall. The wall cracked and he fell down in a puddle from Teruko's jutsu.

"What a wimp." Teruko said.

Hayate looked at the setting. "The winner of the 3rd match is Senju Teruko." he announced.


Whaddup! I decided to write out Shino's fight because I think he deserves way more attention than what he gets. I'm gonna skip Sakura and Ino's fight cuz I thought it was lame. :P
