Tenten was feeling pissed at the Sound ninja for what her teammate did to Lee. Then she remembers seeing her with Shinigami in the academy yard. Before she joined her team again and saw the kiss on the cheek. Since that Genin possessed by a god scares the shit out of her she won't try to hurt her to badly. So not to make Shinigami more pissed than he is at the moment.
She pulls out a scroll and unseals a about 5 of each Kunai and Shuriken before throwing them towards both the other contestants. She went through some had signs and to say most of the Jonin and Genin are shocked she knows the jutsu."Shadow Clone: Kunai and Shuriken" The 5 kunai became 20 and the Shuriken became 60 and all fly towards the other two in a wide enough arc they had to jump up or back to get out of the way showing her status as the Weapons Mistress was well earned so far.
Shikamaru who is a genius in every sense of the word. He is already smarter than his father and maybe the smartest Nara in clan history. Which is well known even if he tries to hid the fact of how smart he is. He jumps back and using his families specialty he was able to slip into the shadows and hids in them safe from danger for now. He made a Shadow clone to make it look like he was still in the arena while he plans. Kin meanwhile was sweating a bit Naruto was able to help little bit and told to beware of shadows when fighting a Nara since that they use them really well and can almost live in them.
Tenten continued to unleash more and more weapons and launching them everywhere. Shikamaru was slowly able to figure a plan when he saw the amount of weapons on the ground and saw he could use them to connect each shadow no matter what the girls do.
Kin was slowly working her way towards the weapon mistress. Just as she is about to get close she hears."Shadow Style: Black Spider Lily" from behind her and cursed. Tenten and Kin were frozen where they stood. Shikamaru then comes out a shadow and both girls flinch when they see two Shikamaru's. Or the fact that they focused on each other they forgot about him completely. which you never should do when fighting a Nara clan member.
With his clone holding on to every shadow in the area. He walks in the middle and performs a set of handsigns and in such a lazy tone Omoi smiles seeing the similarities of their clans." This is so troublesome I should forfeit but Ino and Shinigami would have my hide not to mention my mother. Well let's wrap this up with this oh and forfeit before this kills you."Shadow Style: Neck Binding Technique". From his shadow this time two Shadows run along the ground. Only to work their way up the two girls bodies before everyone can see a shadowed hand around the girls throats ready to choke them.
Kin who is really only a genjutsu user felt like she had a real hand choking her and yelled out."Proctor I have to forfeit due me not having the strength, chakra and skills to escape from this jutsu."Shikamaru releases her and she practically runs to the Rookie tens side to avoid her team or Orochimaru since she knows where she is safe. Tenten though was struggling against it and was finally somehow able to move her hands. She was able to throw 2 Kunai to pop the one clone and make Shikamaru to move thus breaking the concentration needed to hold his shadows.
Tenten yells to Shikamaru who looked tiny bit winded."You almost had me but due training with the strongest Taijutsu user in the village and maybe in the elemental nations no offence Raikage-dono. I was able to break your jutsu or move on my own. Now I wanted to save this for the finals but I think you might like this and hopefully you don't die from it. "Twin Rising Dragon". She throws two giant scrolls in the air and most people are amazed how long it is. The two scrolls rise about 30 feet up and lift her to the top and slowly when she is in the air. Everyone can see the storage seals covering the entire scroll and get worried for the lazy Nara.
What most people don't see is the smirk on Shikamaru's face. He crouches and performs a set of hand signs and says."Forgotten Shadow Style: Dome of Shadows Might". Soon as he finishes everyone sees all the shadows in the arena disappear and a solid black dome rises around him like a shell. Tenten who is in a giant smoke cloud doesn't see this and sends thousand upon thousand weapons towards the ground where his chakra signature is.
Soon a cloud of dust picks up and no one can see the results of what happened for a second or two. Tenten falls to the ground and is panting a bit since this takes alot of chakra to unseal everything in her two scrolls and send them only in one direction.
Everyone waits for the cloud of dust and smoke to clear with their breathe stuck in their throat. When it does everyone is amazed at the sight. The dome of Shadows Shikamaru made was still there and there was a wall of weapons all the way around the dome. Not a single weapon broke through the shadow shell.
Tenten in complete shock seeing someone able to not only survive that but also make a dome strong enough for it to stay up from the amount of weapons hitting it. In her shock she didn't notice a shadow was creeping along the floor and connects to the shadows of her scroll then to her. A voice from with in the dome says."Shadow possession complete." Tenten in shock watches with wide eyed as the dome fell and there is a shadow clone again with the shadow user with another clone.
One of the Shikamaru's is holding her the other does a hand sign and says."Shadow Style: Massive Shadow Clutch Technique". Everyone in the room eyes pop out of their heads. When they see a shadow was able to pick up every weapon where the dome was. The weapons then float in the air and move towards Tenten and then make a spiky dome around her. Blocking everyone from seeing her and they can see the weapons getting closer and closer. Tenten realizing she is beaten yells out."Proctor I forfeit I am unable to escape and since that was my best technique I can not win due to such little chakra."
The weapons all fall away from her and to everyone's amazement was sorted and was set up so they were in perfect order to be sealed in the right amount for the seals on the paper. Tenten who was shocked looked at The Nara who beat her maybe hoping for an explanation.
Shikamaru who smiles and comes forward with a hand out and smirks before saying."If I had simply dropped them you would of been a while before the next round. And how I know what was in each seal it is simple really I am able to see my surroundings in the dome. So I was able to see where each weapon was suppose to go."
Everyone heard this and again was amazed how smart this kid was and to see what seal through the dust and shadow where each weapon came from is amazing. Tenten smiles in thanks and quickly seals everything and Hayate comes out after they are done and yells to the crowd. "Due to a double forfeit Tenten Ikaros of the Leaf and Kin Tsuchi of the Sound are both out and Shikamaru of the leaf will be moving on to the finals." Now let's move onto the next round the board will show the next match and final round."
Everyone turns to the boards and watches the final three names appear. Hayate yells up to the 3 remaining Genin."Will Zaku Abumi of the Sound and Yoro Zabu of the waterfall and Kegon Zabu of the waterfall please come down and lets get this going."
Most Genin were surprised that Fu's teammates where twins but then when you look at them you can see their are Identical twins. This caused the twins to pale and no one knew this but if one was hit from an attack the other one would get the same wounds. This was due to a special bond they formed in the womb.
Yet after everyone was ready and down to the arena floor Hayate looked to the three Genin around him and asks them all the same thing."Is everyone ready to begin the final show of the day?" The three Genin nod and get into their respective stances and yet the twins both look towards the genin as if they will get him out first.
Hayate brings his hand up into the air before swiping it down and jumping back."Then begin and show what you can do and have good time. Also this is a round with no killing allowed on the arena floor if the person dies later thats fine." The two Genin from the Waterfall village take off soon as he finished talking. Both seems to be running in a random pattern and trying to confuse Zaku.
Zaku leaped back and put both his arms in front of him and everyone paled when they saw the holes in his palms with what seemed to be metal tubes in them. What kind of person allows that to happen to himself.
Zaku interrupted everyone thinking about it when he yells."Let me show you about the future of Shinobi with this . Everyone can see the chakra building in his palms before his voice rings out."Decapitating Airwaves". This sent a giant pressurized sonic boom towards the two Waterfall Genin.
The two Genin were able to jump out of the way just in time to. For what seemed like the thousandth time that day everyone's eyes seem to pop out of their head. As where the blast hit was destroyed the concrete were it it turned to rubble and continued towards where the Kage where sitting as if it was indestructible wave.
Seeing how the wave wouldn't stop before it hits the kage Naruto jumps up and holds up his palm and to everyone's amazement they say the wave get sucked into his hand showing something beyond understanding. He then turns and bows to the Kage's there. Zaku and Orochimaru are in shock that someone was able absorb that attack it made Orochimaru lick his lips but then wince when he remembers what he did to him. Even Orochimaru know he is out of his league at the moment.
By the time Zaku recovered it was too late to do anything both the Waterfall Genin were able to get a hold of him held his arms behind his back and kunai to his neck."Kegon was the first to talk."Zaku we have you in a no win position."
Yoro being his twin is able to finish his sentence."Surrender and leave with your honor as a Shinobi in tact. While getting to live another day."
Zaku one who wants to become powerful enough to kill anyone in his way. Simply smiles and starts molding his chakra again and yells so everyone can hear his conviction."No I will not lose I will Show that I am the strongest in these exams so take this. "Extreme Decapitating Airwaves".
What he didn't realize was that the angles of his hands would cause the airwaves to hit each other. Soon as the airwaves hit each other it cause a massive explosion with them all at the centre of it. This send the twins into the walls and knocked them out and Zaku arms actually exploded from the airwaves hit and destroyed his hands and send him flying towards the statue and Tsunade. Since he was sent forward to fast. She was barely able to dodge the boy missile. Naruto caught the boy before he slammed into the Statue and maybe killing him on contact since he was heading face first. Naruto realizes he was already dead and bows his head.
Hayate when and checked on the two Waterfall Genin and waved the Medics forward and looks to Naruto who was checking out Zaku. After a few seconds He looks and up and shakes his head no. Naruto then closed the boys eyes and unsealed a blanket. To cover the boy so no one has to see the amount of damage done to him from the jutsu.
Hayate bows his head in a silent prayer for the dead boy even if from a future invading village. He turns to the Genin who some are pale some are crying for the dead boy even if he was a demented and rapist a death so young is a waste of life." Due the death of Zaku Abumi and the knock out of both Yoro and Kegon Zabu of the waterfall. I will say this is a round where no one advances. Now that the preliminaries are done can I please have the winners of each round come down here."
Naruto, Fu, Naori, Yugito, Gaara, Neji, Dosu, Kankuro and Shikamaru all come forward and stand in front of the kage's and the Jonin gathered there all but one seem proud of the Genin except for Neji since he was the only one who seemed like he was above the Hokage. Anko comes forward with a box in her hand. Before she could talk Tsunade steps forward and starts a small speech.
"I want to say congratulations to the nine Genin that are standing here. This goes to show you are the best of this years Genin in this exam for the most part. Now before we get to the next part I want to tell you. That you will have a month before the third part of the exams. This is so that you will be able to grow stronger and train. Now I bet most of you are wondering about why take a month. Well we have to be able to send word to the villages themselves and to the Lord's of the lands participating or the Diamyo's. This is a show that will be broadcasted to every village so even if they can't actually come to the exams people will see how you act and how strong the Villages are. Now Anko has nine numbers in a box and everyone will pick a number. You will find out more after you get your number."
Anko still looking like a grim reaper comes forward with the box and says to them."I will be coming to each of you and you will pick a paper out of it. You can not look at the paper. After everyone here has their number Ibiki the Sadist will come and collect them from you after that I will tell you the results."
She was interrupted by Shikamaru Nara."I am guessing this third exams is like a tournament and is one on one." Anko chuckles and replies to the Nara."Of course a Nara would figure it out that fast. But that changes nothing."
She walks up to each of the Genin and they Pick a paper and Ibiki follows up after she gets to the ninth person and takes the paper back. He writes the positions on the clipboard when he is finished he stands in front of everyone again and shows the tournament set up. Three Genin pale and Shikamaru moans about fighting a girl.
"Shinigami vs Neji Hyuga"
"Shikamaru Nara vs Fu"
"Kankuro Tottori vs Yugito Nii"
"Gaara Tottori vs Sasuke Uchiha"
"Dosu Kinuta has a Bi first round"
Everyone's a little worried Since Neji is fighting Naruto since he did try to kill two of his precious people one is a future wife. Neji being the stuck up ass he was scoffs and smiles thinking it was a fluke he won before. Neji thinks he is fated to win and that the Daimyo will tell Tsunade to promote him anyways. He turns to Naruto and says in a arrogant tone."You should just quit I am fated to win these exams I may not be able to get promoted. I will still show that Fate has declared me the best Genin. You are nothing but a speck in my way so forfeit now and save yourself the future pain."
Tsunade and few others are shocked he would talk like that considering what he has done so far today and this wasn't even at full ignore him completely and just stares at Tsunade who has to recover and says to the other Genin."Well anyways everyone we all can leave this place and get started on your training now and hope you are able to get stronger. Shinigami I will be revealing your Vessels identity at the finals as a warning since that be the only way to advance I hope you understand".
Naruto nods under the mask. since he had expected this Tsunade smiles and says to the Genin."Now everyone get the hell out of here and hope you will be able to put on a good show in a month."Tsunade dismisses everyone in a simple fashion since she and the Raikage have some more details to handle before they go in front of the council.
Naruto jumps towards Kin as her sensei is reaching for her to take her away."Sorry Sound Sensei I have to borrow your Genin. This is a order from the Hokage offering Asylum to Kin Tsuchi. She is also under my protection also all of the major clans protections. So unless you want to fight Konoha for one genin I suggest you back away. I hope you step away from her and go train your other genin Dosu he needs it if he wants to survive the finals". With that Naruto picks up Kin bridal style and disappears using pure speed only.
Orochimaru is cursing since his plans and forces wouldn't be able to invade sooner so maybe he has a chance to kill this Shinigami possessed boy. Yet without his sword or the Curse seal being able to affect him it be harder. He grabs Dosu and head to the morgue to pick up Zaku since he still needs the body for the invasion. Also he wanted to see Kabuto but when he went to see him the boy was gone and couldn't feel his chakra anywhere in the area. This made him furious since Kabuto never abandoned him before and always reported in soon as he could.
The rest of the Rookie 10 all come back to the house at once using the Thunder God. The Rookies all head in side and decide to wait for the sensei's come back from the tower and watching the videos since it is part of the valuation of becoming Chunnin. Also they were showing all the council the videos of the exam well the fights nothing else.
A clone of Naruto comes down the stairs and whispers into Naruto's ear. He nods to the clone and it dispels."Naori being curious decides to ask what's going on."Naruto you are being secretive what is going?Also please take the mask off it is slightly creepy almost as bad as Orochimaru?"
Naruto turns and takes the mask off considering the last comment."Well when Kabuto was on his way to the match I saw him grab his neck and rub it like a seal flared up a bit. So after when he was in the medic bay. I snuck in a clone in and snuck him back here and kept him asleep as i looked over him for seals and maybe a curse mark as well. What I found was that he has a Loyalty seal and a few others all keyed into Orochimaru. I destroyed them and set up some fake ones so it looks like he still had them. When he woke up he has no memory of the last 15 years of his life so. I have been helping him out and showing him all the memories he had under the seal. I may be immune to certain things and what Orochimaru made him do as his slave is something even. I didn't think someone had the guts to do someone else.
So I am going to hid him here for now. He also had every single detail of the invasion in his mind and actually when he was here just before a removed the seal a new order was implanted into his head. To kidnap any of the Rookie ten while killing men if able to. But since I removed the seal and restored his memory. He wants to go to the I&T division and surrender any and all information about Orochimaru also I now know where to find Kin's sisters. So during the month off I am going to Get Karin and during the Invasion I will get Tayuya. She is one of Orochimaru's main bodyguards but seeing Kin and Karin might help her choose to stay and abandon him since they are safe and sound and way from him. Since they both were forced to join Orochimaru."
Everyone is shocked to say the least since he thought of this and is willing to help a spy and 2 slaves of Orochimaru. Finding out 2 of them are family helps them accept the fact. Of what he wants to do and are willing to help them since only 2 of the others are in the finals.
Naori walks up to Shino and bows to him since she couldn't before."Shino I am sorry about destroying a hive I shouldn't of got so into the fight. I will say you are stronger than anyone would expect I just hope you will forgive me."
Shino who still wears the sunglasses out of habit now. Puts a hand on her shoulder before making her stand at her full height and replying to her."Naori Uchiha that was a good fight and to be honest you showed me what exactly I still need to work on plus before that fight I never fought with weapons besides against clones so that was a great learning experience. So Thank you and let's put that behind us. A suggestion though if you are fighting a ally please don't stab them with a flaming sword using your blaze style." Naori only nods and they all enjoy the time together since everyone will be training hard after this.
Since they have an invasion to get ready for. They all start planning out about what could happen. What the best situations and teams for dealing with everything. Then If that fails they will prepare for the worst. Also they have to worry about a snake getting things he needs or wants. Like Kin and Naori. Kin because she has some of the details of the invasion and Naori for her sharingan. Since he doesn't know about her EMS. She will be able to surprise her if it comes down to it.
She also has the grass cutter now so his best weapon is gone. Yet that does not mean he is not a one trick pony. This is a man that is just as smart as most Nara and cunning and slippery as a snake. THey all agree the next month they will spend in the Dojo and since they know none of them can beat Naruto they need to be stronger this is the best way. They yet to find out Naruto has been sending clones down their to practice his seal making and making new jutsu. Even when there is no one in there.
