The Dragon Has Landed.

Chapter 14 : The Chuunin Exam part 2 ????

Disclaimers: I don't own Naruto or Ranma 1/2 here, except some changes I made to them. The rest aren't mine but I do OWN Max. I ALSO don't own the Master pieces of Mr Jing Yong, Mr Gu Long and other respective writers. I just borrowed them to use here so...um...don't sue me. (DO anyone actually read this stuff?)

Authors Note :

Ah....another month of endless assignments and tests and home works and projects, wonder when will it end ? Tell me oh mighty one when will all these stop and when will the lecturers stop their torturing of our innocent minds ? Tell me, why must we take tests every week and why the exams are so fucking hard, TELL ME !!!

Ah...sorry guys, I was in a shitty mood back there. Anyway, back to my life. I dunno about you guys but the last few days was one of my happier moments as a 18 year old. Why ? Well, most of you that received my e-mails or chatted with me on MSN might know.

THAT'S RIGHT YOU GUYS !! I'M HAPPY EVENTHOUGH MY FAMILY LEFT ME HOME ALONE WITH MY 85 YEARS OLD GRANDMA AND WENT TO A VACATION AT PORT DICKSON !!

I received a link from a friend to some of my favorite 80's cartoons and I even got to download their super cool intros !! Now I know that some of you guys might think that I'm childish for that, what kind of 18 year old am I ? Well, I'm a child at heart and I like it like that just fine. For those of you that are curious about the cartoons I found interesting, here are some of the titles and some info on them :

Kidd Video : Don't feel bad not knowing this great cartoon cause amongst the 20 people I asked....no one knows about this. It's about a bunch of kids playing some songs in a garage and a guy sucked them to a place called the Flipside, which is practically a cartoon land where they were turned into cartoons. Heheh I'll tell more about them. Mail me if you're interested. I spent the whole afternoon downloading the songs here.

Centurions : Yay, I spelled the names correctly !! They were once on my MOST Wanted Toys for my Birth Day....and they still are !! The show is a little weird and the graphics are crappy, but hey I like the suits !! The fact that there's a character named after me is a BIG ego boost.

Mighty Max : Gotta love this for obvious reasons ( Hint : CHECK THE NAME and HIS ATTITUDE !!) Hahaha well, the intro sound track is super cool. No stupid lyrics that call out the name of the cartoon repeatedly like other shows. This intro lets you enjoy a very cool rock n roll music. The voice actor for the bad guy is none other than the Great Tim Curry !! The graphics are also sharp. There was an episode where the bad guys are a bunch of aliens, sounds familiar? Heh, they also look like the Aliens from AVP...well....for me they are. I love Norman's sword.

Visionaries : Again I don't think you guys know this one...or even LIKE it. I don't care, I like it because...because...ahh forget it. I like it and it's final. They have great character plot and it's actually exciting.

M.A.S.K : No , not the green guy that runs around screaming for somebody to stop him. This is an old cartoon where the heroes wear these cool masks that gives them special abilities and such. Love the song, WANT THE TOYS !!

G.I. Joe vs Cobra and G.I. Joe, A real American Hero : There are two versions I think. All I know is that no matter what, THEY ROCK !! YO JOE !!

Rambo : If you don't know this then you're missing out another classic. Like the one in the Movies, Rambo has to be called from whatever he's doing to help defeat some bad guys...although they don't die , I enjoy seeing Rambo dish out endless ammo on the bad guys.

Gargoyles : Another great cartoon I like. Although not as old as the others, I still recommend this to anyone who likes myths and legends. Anyone have the sound track for this one ?

Denver The Last Dinosaur : AAHHHH I WANT THAT DINOSAUR !! Love the songs !! Love the plushies !!

Thunder Cats : Heh, it's kinda hard not finding anyone that DON'T know this cartoon in my country. It's also an epic like the Teenage Mutan Ninja Turtles. Cheetara's hot and I REALLY want that whip Tigra has. Not to mention the Hover boards of Kit and Kat.

Back to The Future, the animated series : Love the movie, love the series. Nuff said. Hey Bill the Science guy is here!!

Where is Wally : I recorded the series back then and paused it and tried to actually find Wally in my 12 inch TV. I was jumping around happily when I found him as I remembered.....even though I did that over twenty times....

Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego : Damn, every time I watch this I was screaming out at the main characters when they missed and failed to catch Carmen. Now THAT'S playing hard to get.

Bots Master : OH YEAH !! I Totally LOVE THE INTRO !! Ninjzz and ZZ, you guys are so cool !! Street Boyzz you guys ROCK !! the only thing is that I never get to have those cool 3D shades.....LASER TIME BOYZZ !!!

Samurai Pizza Cats : I'm SO not surprise if no one even bothered to watch this cartoon cause I wouldn't even watch it. BUT...BUT.. I watch it in Japanese and read the subs. The English Dubs are STUPID !! I hate dubs. They ruin EVERYTHING GOOD. Just search for them in Yahoo and you might find them familiar.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : Cowabanga dudes !! Love them, Heroes in a half shell , Turtle Power !! I used to sing the theme songs and actually tried to spell their names Especially Don...Don..Dona...arrrggg where's the Lyrics !!

The Real Ghost Busters : Another epic like the TMNT that people won't ever forget. Who you're gonna call ? Somebody else than me if you want me to take out that underwear.

Jayce and the Wheel Worriors : So it's lame...so what ? I enjoyed this cartoon and that is what matters.

Transformers season 1,2,3,4, The Movie : The only thing I hate about this is the crappy graphics and cheap lines from some characters. Note that this is the American version of the Transformers; the main character is Optimus Prime. I hate Rodimus, such a brat. Star Scream...I missed his voice in the later episodes and his childish plots to take over Megatron.

Transformers MasterForce: Yeeha, now this is 100 better than the American version. This is where the robots require HUMANS to control them. The humans transform into some chip and attached themselves on the cars or planes. Then They Transform and they make these cool sounds and let us see their stats. The Leader here is a Yellow Jet that kinda reminds me of Captain America from the Dubbed version.

Transformers Headmasters: Another one of the Transformers. This one however didn't need the help of humans. The leader, Fotress Maximus is a grey robot that transforms to a Giant head and attached itself to the main HQ of the good guys and it transformed to a HUGE HUGE Robot to battle the bad guys. The same goes for the Evil Decepticons, their leader, Scorpinox, Transforms to a huge Scorpion Robot from the base. The character I really like here is the robot named " Six-Shot " he could Transform into six different things and do jutsus like a Ninja. I remember seing him do a Bunshin.....Oh and they say he could transform into a Seventh change...

Captain N : No it's not captain Nemo. N stands fro Nintendo. Yup, the console Nintendo. It's about a boy sucked into his Nintendo and he gets to zap enemies with his zapper gun. You know, those guns that are needed to kill those stupid ducks in Duck Hunt ? He gets help from the characters of various games like Castlevania and Megaman.

Dino Riders : My friend have the toy of this series and I remember going to his house and play with him every chance I got.

Saber Riders : Need I say more ? The songs are kinda crappy but I sometimes find myself singing to it.

Bravestar : This is the one cartoon that let's the character kiss passionately under the moon light. Cowboys from the future. Sorta like a lone rider thing. Only with animal strength and a talking horse with a big ass gun.

Macross/Robotech : Again...a Great ANIME !! You heard me. This is an ANIME !! Like the Samurai Pizza Cats and Hello Kitty , this is actually an ANIME !! Love the Planes.

Dragon Flyz : Yeah, another one with kick ass dragons !! The songs are nice and the graphics are cool.

Conan the adventurer: Aside from running around almost naked and the anoying Phoenix.....I actually enjoyed this cartoon.

King Arthur and The Knights of Justice : A nice merging between Foot ball and Knight hood

Do you guys think that's enough ? Well ok. Just give me an e-mail if you wanna know more about the cartoons mentioned here. Oh and please, anyone heard about Mighty Max, Kidd Video or even the two Transformers and cartoon here ?

Okay back to the show :

"Speech"

#Thoughts#

The three Mist brothers were preparing for the third test. Unlike the one in the Leaf, the Genins are only given one week to train or rest for the Third part of the Chuunin exam. This time, the Hidden Mist will be alert so that the incident at the Leaf won't happen here. Tsunande even said that she would visit Naruto since the Leaf Ninjas were amongst the Genins that entered the Final Test.

Ranma tossed his empty cup of ramen in the trash and turned towards his brothers " Hey guys, who do you think will pass ? Do you think Naruto will be Chuunin this time ? I didn't see any Chuunin qualities in him from the first and second Test."

Haku nodded " He was as usual, lucky that Hyuuga Neji was with him in the first test. He didn't make any new improvements other than his massive stamina and chakra reserve on the second test. I'm afraid if he didn't do anything to prove his Chuunin qualities he would fail even if he DID get through the third test."

They waited for Max to reply but a knock on the door averted their attention. Haku stood up and opened the door to see a Jounin and a bag of something in his arms standing there.

" Yoshi-san, what brings you here ? " asked Haku and smiled at the bearded Jounin who grinned in return. He let off a sigh and gave Haku the bag.

" Hello Haku-kun, these are the results and matching we had for the Final Test. " said Yoshi in a tired tone. The bags under his eyes revealed that he hasn't slept in quite a while. Haku bowed and took the bag while Ranma invited him for a seat and a cup of tea.

The Jounin declined and smiled sadly at them " Love to but I still have a few houses to go before I could hit the sack. Bye guys..." then he vanished.

" Now that's what I call a man who takes his job seriously." said Ranma.

Haku closed the door and nodded to Max " So...what are your decisions? "

Max smiled at his brothers and said in a familiar voice " That....is a secret." then he was attacked by two pillows from Ranma and Haku.

One Week Later.....

The Genins were gathered at the Mizu Stadium like the one in Konoha except this one was a little smaller. The place was filled just like the previous exam but this time more Anbus where spotted and many Jounins were stationed at the gates of Mizukagure.

Naruto stared at the Jounin Guide that brought them here and was excited to beat the crap out of his opponents. Neji scanned the place with his Byakugan and noticed the hidden Anbus. Then he spotted Max and his brothers sitting at the balconies with the other Jounin Instructors from other villages. The Sand team and Leaf team was there as well.

Gosei waved at his brother who smiled and returned the wave.

Soon the Mizukage gave his once over speech of congratulating the genins that passed the second test and then a Jounin appeared to give the topic of the last test to the Chuunin Exam.

A man with a scar running down his left eye with a hand guard walked up and made his intro to the Genins.

" My name is Kosame and I will be the referee for the last test of the Chuunin Exam. The last test requires the Genin group to fight amongst themselves until the other two is unable to fight or shall they give up, the remaining Genin will proceed to fight the other Genins. There are five teams, and there will be five Genins to proceed the second phase. Then they will defeat the remaining Genins until only one shall be the victor. The rules are simple, it's free for all and killing is permitted but I will stop the fight when I see that the victim is no longer able to defend himself. After all, we must keep the body counts to the minimum. The second rule is that each match will last for only 20 minutes max. After that time limit the judges will decide who will proceed to the next fight. " then he took out a walkie-talkie and called for the screen to show the fighting teams to go first.

The Genins were shocked beyond anything else and were too stunned and confused that they didn't move but stared at the examiner. Fight amongst themselves? This was unheard of by the Konoha Genins. The Jounins however narrowed their eyes and shook their head at this.

Kakashi sighed, just typical. The Mist made the same thing a few years ago. Fortunately, the Jounins were given permission to interfier the fights.

Naruto was jumping around shouting insults " Hey Hey !! What do you mean fight among ourselves? We're a team !! How can we do that ? Kill ? I can't do that to my friends !! " the cold glare from Kosame made Naruto to listen o what he's about to say.

" If you are unable to do so, then you are unfit to be called a Ninja. We are tools for the country and our Mizukage, we are Shinobis that fight the enemy and won't blink in the face of death. Fighting your close friends is a good beginning to help you in future battles. Your best friend might be your worse enemy one day...." then he pointed at the large screen on the left wall.

-----------------------

Then Kosame called for the first team to battle to come forth. The other teams must clear the arena and wait at the balcony. Naruto couldn't help but kept to his thoughts.

# What can I do ? What can I do ? I can't hurt Sakura-chan or Raku but if I don't I'll lose.....even if I win, I'll have to fight the other guys that passed the match...# Then he realized that his match was the luckiest one...the few things that made him worry was the fact that he must fight his team member and the safety of Hinata....and Hyuuga Neji.

He turned to look at the white-eyed fighter and smirked as the Hyuuga was looking at his way. He smiled and tied his Hai-ate proudly on his forehead and went to see Hinata.

The girl was shaking from the moment she heard about the topic. She knew she was not as fast and strong like Kiba and her Gentle Fist was weak against the smart Shino and his bugs. When she saw Naruto, her heart rate went up and her breathing was harder.

" Hey, Hinata-chan, good luck and kick Kiba's ass for me !! You can do it !! " said the blonde Shinobi totally oblivious at her state. Unknowing to him, it actually worked to calm Hinata down. His confident smile raised hers and she started to walk down the stairs with a " Thank you Naruto-kun." and waited for the Referee to start the match.

Kiba was troubled, as was Shino. They knew about how Hinata would felt and actually considered asking her to quit but the stern look and the determined heart she had made them proud. She was going to give her all.

" Kiba-kun, Shino-kun...let's give it our all and see who's the better Shinobi." said the Hyuuga heiress and activated her Byakugan eyes. Kiba smirked while Akamaru barked and Shino gave a small nod.

The referee just make an annoyed look and gave a shout " The First Match Shall Begin at the count of 5...4...3...2...1...BEGIN !!" Then he leaped back to the sidelines.

" Akamaru, let's attack Shino first. " said Kiba and gave his partner a soldier pill. The little dog grew larger and his fur became red as it's strength grew along with his chakra.

" Inuzuka Ryu : Beast Man Transformation !! " two Kiba's appeared and they charged at a calm looking Shino who had his hands in his pocket. Little did the two knows that he was actually smirking at the charging duo under his coat.

" Sorry Shino but this is the end !! Piercing Fang !! "

" Hnn..." the attack blasted through Shino's body but Kiba continued to attack since he knew the first one was always a clone of Bugs. Shino appeared behind Kiba but a back fist from Kiba welcomed him.

" Heh, you forgot that I can smell you Shino. Piercing Fang !! "

Shino got up with his cracked sunglass and narrowed his eyes. The two charging tornados was nearing him but suddenly stopped when a wall of bugs made a makeshift wall between them.

Kiba halted and was in thought # Damn, I can go through that easily but his bugs will cover us and eat our Chakra...what HUH ?? # he evaded a kick from Hinata and dodged another palm strike from her.

" Hinata !! What are you doing ? " Shouted Kiba.

" I told you that I will give my all. Don't hold back to me Kiba-kun. " said the Hyuuga Heiress and made her stance. Kiba narrowed his eyes as he thinks about his situation. One, he couldn't bring himself to hurt Hinata. Two, if he ignored her and attack Shino, she'll be mad and attack him from his blind spot. Three, Shino.... where is the real Shino ?? As he thought this Shino already made four Bunsin with his bugs and surrounded the two fighters in the middle.

" Alright, don't blame me if I hurt you guys !! Akamaru !! Lets do this ! " Kiba shouted and slammed his palms together and a huge burst of smoke covered the two fighters. Shino and his clones stepped back while Hinata covered her eyes followed by a leap back.

After the smoke cleared, all they see was a giant hole in the middle with a pile of dirt around the hole. Shino's eyes widened when he realized that Kiba had dug the hole to...

To late as the ground under him started to crack and an enormous tornado exploded out of the hole slamming Shino's chest. The spinning speed and power of the Garouga was so great that Shino was unable to keep conscious from the spinning attack by the huge two-headed wolf.

Then Kiba slammed the Bug user to the wall and barked victoriously as the bug Bunshins disappeared and became black masses of Destroyer Bugs. The Bugs was lost since their master was too far away and was unable to call them since he was passed out. The Wolf turned to see a glowing Hinata with her pearl white eyes focused on the it and dashed towards the girl.

Hinata steadied her stance and made a seal. # Kawarimi no Jutsu !#

The wolf slashed the log and turned to see the Hyuuga Heiress right under it. # Crap !! #

Hinata made an all too familiar stance and Neji smirked at the way Hinata move herself. She was graceful and fast, though not as fast or strong as him but it was already a great improvement on the shy girl.

" Hakkeshou : Rakujuu Yonshou !! " then Hinata made her strikes under the poor wolf.

Each time her palms hit the body part of the Twin Headed Wolf the crowds winced as the beast yelled and howled in pain. Each attack burned the skin of the Wolf and Kiba was in pain.

# ARRRGGHHH !! So...this is what Naruto felt when he fought Neji...damn I didn't expect her to be this strong...Sorry Akamaru..# then with a puff of smoke the two fighter and pet was separated leaving a panting Hinata as she had spent her last strength to make all the 64 points and attacks count.

Kosame smiled and went to check on Kiba, Akamaru and Shino.

# Well, they're still alive and she's standing there with her eyes still glowing...# then Kosame made aloud announcement to the crowd " Winner of the first battle....HYUUGA HINATA !! "

The crowd roared in cheer especially a certain Blonde boy and a white eyed Hyuuga...

Hiashi smiled with pride as his daughter walked up the stairs. He decided to go and have a little talk to her...

--------------------

The next match came on and the combatants were from the Mist Village itself. Gosei took out his best tops and made sure the handles were tight around his fingers. Aki just rolled her eyes but tugged on her Crystal Dowsing Pendulum (Thanks Daniel!! But I may still call it a Crystal Finder since it's what I get from the Chinese Version of Shaman King ) it was reinforced with a better wire and could hold up to ten times her weight. Shunichi still had his proud look on his face as he took out his gloves and cracked his knuckles, this will be fun.

Since the three usually spared together, they like every team knew the weakness and the skills of their teammates. They will have to improvise.

Gosei stared at his brother who gave him a nod and said in a serious voice " Guys...my bro warned us about this...guess we'll have to give it our all huh ? "

Aki's eyes were half opened and she said with her normal voice, the one that makes Gosei feels like a little kid " Well, it looks like I'll have to show you two who's the best in our group then. "

Shunichi smirked " Yeah, ME !! "

Kosame rolled his eyes " The battle will start at the count of 5...4...3...2...1...BEGIN !! "

As soon as he said that the three made their moves to attack each other together with their weapons " Ninpo : Daichi Bureza !! " " Ninpo : Nibai Ryu Chuugaeri (Double Dragon Looping ) !! " " Ninpo : Kanaami no Tate !! "

Gosei attacked Aki with his fire/earth elemental Jutsu but it was deflected by her Wire Shield and he leaped away from the screeching Fiery Yo Yo that Shuninchi sent to him. Shunichi made good use with his technique and made a double attack to his teammates. He knew they would either evade or block his attacks, he just wanted to make some space between them and him so he could produce a more powerful attack.

While the two boys went on the offensive, Aki just use minimal amount of Chakra and inserted them in her wires to block everything they let out. As their attack bounce off her shield # As always...# she made her handseals since her wires would protect her no matter what.

Gosei slammed another Top in his Top Launcher and fire another one at Shunichi " Ninpo : Juusei Hasu(Multiple Star Lotus)!" his top blasted forward with fire trailing behind it and erupted in a huge explosion sending small mini tops with fire around it and start chasing Shunichi and Aki.

Shunichi was surprised that Gosei would use this attack at the beginning of the battle and cursed himself, this was no time to play, this was for real and he must do his best or fry in flaming top hell.

He finished his handseals and commanded his yo yo to come back to his hands. Then he infuse them full of chakra and crossed his arms letting his Yo Yo shine from the fire Tops coming his way.

" Ninpo : 20 times Dragon Loop !! " the flaming tops were either being smashed off course by his Yo Yos or they just blew up in flames creating small explosions around him. That made Gosei smiled and made a handseal " Ninpo : Hidden Mist no Jutsu ! " the arena was soon filled with Mist.

-----------------

Back at the balcony...

Max raised his eye brow at this. He turned to look at Rei who shrugged " Hey, he's a fast learner. "

-----------------

Gosei attached another Top in his launcher and aimed at Shunichi's place since he could hear his low cursing but suddenly ducked from a fast and deadly strike by Aki's Crystal Finder.

# Damn, I forgot that she could sense me with her Bloodline....But I can use this as my advantage before my mist will be blown away by the wind. That took a lot from me.#

He aimed the Top down and realized it. The Top spins at his leg and he made his handseal " Bunshin no Jutsu..." the top turned into a Bunshin and smirked as it leaped towards Aki.

Mean while Shunichi took out the two Yo Yos from his fingers and replaced them with ten smaller version of his current Yo Yo. He now have ten identical Yo Yos under his control # This will need my full concentration and all my knowledge of Chakra control...I must not fail.#

" Haipa Yo Yo Saishuu no Gikou : Orochi no Hensei ( Hyper Yo Yo Final Technique : Formation of the Eight Headed Demon Serpent)!"

The strings started to grow thick and glowed with Chakra and eight of the Yo Yos connected to his first four fingers have the appearance of a Snake head and the other two strings from his thumbs became the tails.

" Ninpo : Orochi no Shuryu ( Head of The Eight Headed Demon Serpent )!"

Two heads tracked the location of Aki and Gosei while eight other heads and tail hovered around him and guarded him from all sides preparing for a strike or to defend against anything his teammates could send him.

Aki attacked the Bunshin that was running circles around her and it exploded in a puff of smoke leaving a Top slowing it's spin to a dead halt on the ground. She blocked a punch and a kick from Gosei who was able to sneak pass her senses. Then recalled her wires and formed a Kunai with it. She slashed against Gosei who blocked it with his own Kunai. The two Genins started clashing Kunais and traded punches and Kicks until they heard the shout of Shunichi's attack.

Both Genins felt the rush of chakra and was shocked when they saw the ten glowing strings around shunichi. That was the second time they saw him use that technique. The first time was when he fought their Jounin Sensei to earn the right to be a Genin. This time, his snakeheads were more realistic and more deadlier from the training sessions they had with their Jounin Instructor.

Aki finally gave out a sigh, and closed her eyes and took a deep but slow breath. Then she opened her eyes when she felt the Mist started to clear. She was again surprised when she saw what Gosei had in his hands. It was the two chains that always hung around Gosei's belt. The tip of his first chains is a shape of a triangle and the other a shape of a circle. He let the chains twirl around him making four circles around him.

-------------------

At the balcony .....

Max couldn't help but widened his eyes when he saw the chains # This...this is getting weirder and weirder...first the Yo yos...then the Tops...then the Dowsing Pendulums...then the Snake heads...NOW THE CHAINS ??? #

Rei was feeling proud at his brother # He finally found the chance to use those two...the Chains of Andromeda....#

" What are those Jutsus ? " asked Ranma.

" It's a family technique. Only my brothers and me were allowed and able to control the chains of Andromeda. The powers of the chains depend on the user. " explained Rei as his own chains echoed in rhythm with his brother's chains.

Not far away from the place where Ranma and his brothers stand...

Naruto was cheering on Gosei as the fight comes to the climax. Kakashi was interested in the attacks the Genins from the Mist showed. It was nothing he ever seen. Although they would be somewhat weak against him in battle, he must admit that by using these tools would surprise the opponents. Then he saw the Jutsu that Shunichi used and narrowed his eyes since it reminded him of a snake using Sennin.

--------------------

Back at the Arena...

Aki ejected her normal Pendulum and replaced it with an old looking string and said to her teammates " This is it guys...This was once my father's Pendulum and although it's made of Crystal...it's more powerful and easier for me to control it. I suggest you two to prepare for a big ass whooping for I am almost unbeatable with this."

The other two nodded and with an invisible signal, the three started their attacks. Gosei's chains leaped up and engaged the seemingly roaring snake heads and the loud sound of metals clashing could be heard as the Yo Yo made contact with the chains. The chains looked as though they were alive and Gosei didn't even flinched from the devastating strikes from Shunichi's Yo Yo attacks " Nothing can come through my Rolling Defense. "

Back on the balcony, Gaara and Neji was clearly interested in this new 'Ultimate Defense'.

Aki raised her eyebrows as she saw Gosei's strings move on their own. It seems like her teammate has been keeping a big secret to himself. She lifted her hands and her Crystal dashed towards Gosei in blinding speed and deadly accuracy as it was on course headed to strike at his head.

Gosei almost laughed at the attempted attack. The chains blocked the attack as if it was the easiest task in the world. Then Gosei said in a stoic voice " My turn.....Alpha...attack. " the triangular tipped chain went flying and intercepted the Crystal Finder and the two tips clashed. Both trying to over power the other and neither succeeding.

As Shunichi saw this he took his chance and attacked Gosei in full force from the east with all his heads and tails. With his concentration fully on Aki's crystal finder, he was not prepared for Shunicho's full-scale attack. The chains tried to stop the incoming heads and were barely able to halt them in place.

Sweat started to flow freely down Gosei's eyebrows; he used a lot of chakra in the start and only has enough to do his last attack. He made hand seals and pumped all his chakra in his chains while shouting his attack " Ninpo : Seiun Sou (Nebula Stream) !!"

Aki winced and released her own attack " Ninpo : Crystal Heart Seeker !" her crystal glowed in a bright blue hue and strikes the center of Gosei's location.

Shunichi was cursing when he saw the attack. It was all or nothing. He was low in chakra and this will be it " Ninpo : Orochi no Rippuku ( Orochi's rage ) !! " the Yo Yos attacked and the snake heads roared against the chains that are binding them, trying to break through it.

"RAAAAGGGGGHHHH !!"

"KYAAAAAAAAA !!"

"GGRRRRAAAAAAGGHHHH !!"

A small explosion was formed with a huge amount of smoke and dust. It was followed by a blinding light in the center of the Arena swallowing the three fighting Genins. The spectators shielded their eyes form the Flash Bang like light and murmured amongst themselves about the outcome. Kosame just closed his eyes and waited for the wind to calm down.

A few seconds later, Kosame saw that the Genins were left laying on the ground covered in dirt and debris from the crater they created. He waited for them to get up but all he heard was moans and runts from the three figures. He finished his mental count of ten seconds and called for the medic team. They were all down for the count.

" Winner of the Second Battle....No One !! We shall have a ten minutes break to clear this Arena. "
