~Vega's PoV~

"By the way Vega, what was that?" Naruto asked curious.

"Ahh, that?" I said grinning and rubbing the back of my neck. "Since I am a dragon slayer I can eat the source of my element or in my case various natural elements hehe"

My teammates were looking at me shockingly.

Next was Sasuke Uchiha vs Yoroi Akado.

~Time Skip~

The judge, Hayate checked Yoroi's pulse while Sasuke was standing up.

"I'm stopping the match from going any further, therefore, the winner of the second match is Sasuke Uchiha"

"Sasuke! You, you... won in a lame way! Look at you, all battered up! Baka!" Naruto cheered up.

"Man, that loser" Sasuke replied slightly smiling.

"Now I'll take you into the back... and seal the curse mark" Kakashi whispered to Sasuke.

But I can hear cause, you know, I'm a dragon slayer.

He then got up and left with our sensei after complaining about he wanted to remain to see who would win.

And since I'm lazy I will elencate the list of the matches with their winners before Naruto's.

Abumi Zaku vs Shino Aburame: Shino won.

Kankuro vs Misumi: Kankuro won.

Ino Yamanaka vs Sakura Haruno: tie.

Tenten vs Temari: Temari won.

Kin vs Shikamaru: Shikamaru won.

Naruto Uzumaki vs Kiba Inuzuka

The black screen showed Kiba and Naruto's names in neon green text.

"It's here, it's here, it's here! What we've been waiting for! It's finally my turn!" Naruto cheered up.

"Good luck, Naruto!" I yelled as he jumped down the balconies. He gave me a wide grin and a thumbs up saying that he will win for sure.

"The eighth battle, Naruto Uzumaki vs Kiba Inuzuka"

"I got sick of waiting! It's finally time for me to shine! Believe it!" Naruto said all excited.

"That's my line! With you as my opponent, I've as good as won! Right Akamaru?" Kiba replied as his puppy barked in response.

Naruto had grew an irk mark.

"Don't get excited! You won't be able to beat me!"

"Why you little...!" Kiba exclaimed as he put his puppy Akamaru on the floor.

"Hey! Don't bring your puppy! He'll get on the way of the match!" Naruto yelled to Kiba.

"You fool! Akamaru is going to fight with me"

"Hey, hey! Is that okay?" Naruto asked.

"Yes. Animals and insects are treated the same way as ninja tools. There's no problem"

"Well, that's fine! It's a perfect handicap!" Naruto said confident.

"Yeah! Good luck, Naruto! Beat him up!" I yelled.

"Well then. Please begin!"

Kiba bent down and made the tiger handsign. Then he went on all four, and his nails grew like claws.

Kiba rapidly charged towards Naruto, elbowing him in his gut.

Naruto flew backwards and landed on the floor by his back. He stayed like this for a few seconds before getting up.

"Don't underestimate me!"

"What are you talking about, bleeding like that? Your tough talk has gone too far!"

"I didn't use my power fully... to observe your strength first! You too, cut out the tough talk and use the dog or whatever you want!"

"You'll regret this... let's go Akamaru!" Kiba said rushing with his dog towards Naruto.

Dogboy then threw a few smoke balls near Naruto.

I see, he uses his sharp sense of smell to find him... and I can tell this because he works with a dog.

Soon I saw Naruto getting out from the smoke clouds but getting bit on the arm by Akamaru and falling into the clouds again.

When the smoke went off, there was Naruto on the ground and Akamaru sitting and waving his tail, then what I saw later... he bit Kiba?

No way! It was Naruto transformed into dogboy's puppy!

"Good job, Naruto!" I yelled from the balconies with a huge grin on my face.

"Naruto... I'll take Akamaru... back!" Kiba fed Akamaru a weird huge pill and he turned red.

Akamaru has now a more savage appearance.

"Here we go, Akamaru! Ninja art of beast mimicry...!" Kiba let his puppy go on his back and got up again. "Man beast clones!" He said as he got on all fours and Akamaru transformed into a Kiba's copy.

"T-there's something wrong with their eyes! He's using some weird drug! Isn't that doping? Is this okay?!" Naruto yelled concerned at the judge.

"Yes. Food pills are one of ninja tools" Hayate coughed out. Naruto complained.

Kiba and Akamaru jumped on Naruto but he managed to dodge them.

One of them then rushed towards Naruto missing him, then ran on the wall on all four.

They kept attacking Naruto until he jumped and was falling down.

"Man beast taijutsu ultimate technique! Fang over fang!" They hit him when he just landed.

He flew over the arena and fell down.

"Stand up, Naruto!" I yelled to Naruto, as he was standing up. His face was visibly bleeding.

"If you compete with me for the name of hokage... you... will be the loser!"

Kiba and Akamaru used their jutsu again, barely hitting the Uzumaki.

Then they used their smoke balls again and used their fang over fang jutsu again, and again.

Soon, when the smoke was lifted I saw three Kibas.

"Clever move Naruto!" I exclaimed.

"Don't mess with our sense of smell, Naruto" dogboy said confident.

Dogboy punched one of the other Kibas revealing... Akamaru?

The sense of smell is hard to fool but this time?

Then the Inuzuka proceeded punching the remaining Kiba revealing... another Akamaru?

Judging by their scents the first one Kiba punched was Naruto.

Understood. He transformed into Kiba but when he got hit instantly transformed into Akamaru!

Kiba took out some shurikens and threw them to Naruto who was telling his opponent about a special technique he was saving up. He dodged them all.

"Ninja art of beast mimicry... all four jutsu!" Kiba said rushing towards Naruto.

He then punched the blonde a few times before Naruto counter attacked.

Soon he charged to Naruto again, going behind him and Naruto... farted?

Oh boy. Poor Kiba, I must admit it haha.

"Naruto! Now its your chance!" I said to my teammate.

Then Naruto made a bunch of clones that surrounded Kiba, that was suffering from the fart he smelled before, and kicked him in the air, then he kicked his face to the ground.

Kiba didn't get up.

"The winner is Naruto Uzumaki"

He went on the balconies and I hugged him thightly.

"You did well, Naruto!" I had a huge grin on my face.

"Aha, that was easy" he replied.

Anyways, the other matches and winners are:

Hinata Hyuga vs Neji Hyuga: Neji won.

Rock Lee vs Gaara: Gaara won.

Choji Akimichi vs Dosu: Dosu won.

"With this the preliminaries for the the third exam are complete" Hayate announced.

"Well, I will now begin the explanation of the final round"

So the hokage started explaining us the final round and it starts one month from today basically.
