"Hello Sandaime-sama," said Naruto as he bowed to the old man.
"Toki-kage-sama I see you are early," said the Sandaime.
"I wanted to make sure I got the seat right next to the Raikage," said Naruto with a smirk before taking a seat in the middle that would put the Kazekage and the Raikage on either of him.
"You are playing a dangerous game Tokikage," said the Sandaime as he took a puff from his pipe.
"I just hope you are ready to play old friend, because it is a game of life and death," said Naruto serious as he watched the stadiums fill up with spectators.
"Do no not worry about me, I will not make the same mistake twice," replied the Sandaime seriously.

"You ready Nii-chan?" asked Arashi as they waited down
"Yes, but I am still upset that I can't kill the Uchiha," replied Gaara.
"Just make sure you make it to the finals nii-chan, so that I can beat you in front of everyone," said Arashi with a smirk.
"We may face each other sooner then that, didn't you see the new line up," said Gaara.
"Yeah I am in the first match against the cloud genin and you are the second match against Uchiha, but remember what tou-san said about the Uchiha's sensei," said Arashi.
"True," said Gaara.
"Here comes the other contestants," said Arashi nodding his head at the others who just entered the stadium. Gaara just gave a quick glance at his biological brother and sister before dismissing them. They kept sneaking him glances and frankly, it was starting to annoy the hell out of him.
Arashi had his own problem, as the cloud genin was glaring at him and directing his killing intent at him. He now understood now how Gaara felt when his brother and sister kept glancing at him. It really was annoying, and if it kept up, he didn't know if he could take it much longer without pummeling the cloud genin. Lucky for him, a distraction provided by a loud orange blur that came crashing into the stadium and caused everyone to give him a weird look.
"Hey guys," said Naruto sheepishly as he scratched the back of his head.
"Loser," said Neji before dismissing Naruto.
"What did you say you bastard?" yelled Naruto shaking his fist at Neji.
"Quit playing around and get ready because the tournament is about to begin," said Genma appearing in front of the ground while chewing on a senbon.
Break
"Kazekage-sama, Raikage-sama you are both just in time for the beginning of the tournament," said the Sandaime with a grandfatherly smile.
"I look forward to the upcoming matches," said the Kazekage taking a seat between the Tokikage and the Sandaime.
"Hello Raikage-sama a pleasure to meet you," said Naruto with a huge smile. The Raikage just clenched his fist inside his robes before taking a seat next to the Tokikage.
"It is a pleasure to finally meet you Tokikage-sama," said the Raikage.
"Now that we are all here let the tournament begin," said the Sandaime giving Genma the signal.
Break
"Welcome to the Final matches of the Chuunin Exam, our first match will be between Higurashi Arashi vs. Aizen. Will the two contestants step forward while everyone else can please wait up in the fighter's balcony," said Genma using a jutsu to make his voice project all around the stadium. All the other contestants turned around and slowly made their way up to the waiting area while Arashi and Aizen stared each other down.
"You two ready?" asked Genma looking at the two combatants. They just nodded their heads before each fell into a defensive stance.
"Begin!" yelled Genma.
Arashi vs. Aizen
"I will give you the opportunity to give up now and safe yourself from getting humiliated," said Aizen with a smirk. Arashi just reached into his shirt, Aizen tensed at the movement, but was soon bristling in anger when Arashi pulled out some pocky to eat.
"I'm sorry, you say something," said Arashi as he enjoyed his pocky.
'Tou-san, was this your idea?' thought Gaara as he shook his head at Arashi. He didn't know that his kaa-san and the rest of his family were having similar thoughts while the Raikage was bristling in rage at the insult.
"I am going to kill you," said Aizen before taking off at chuunin level speeds towards Arashi. Arashi just continued to eat his pocky as Aizen came at him because he wasn't worried in the least bit. Right as Aizen was about to deliver a hard right to Arashi's face, Arashi ducked and delivered a kick to stomach knocking the breath out of Aizen. Arashi then jumped up and delivered a spin kick to Aizen face. Aizen just flew into the ground and skidded across the ground. It looked like Arashi had the boy beat in speed and power, but Arashi then fell to his knees in pain.
'What the hell happened, it is like I lost control over my muscles,' thought Arashi as he stood up slowly, but the nerves and muscles in his right leg felt weird. Aizen just smirked and charge again at Arashi. The same thing happened like before, with Arashi easily knocking Aizen away to the ground with a hard right hook, but just like with his leg he felt immense pain in his arms after hitting Aizen.
'What the hell is going on?' thought Arashi as his right arm hung limp at his side.
"I see you still have realized what is going on, so let me make it clear. You are easily better then me at taijutsu, but that means nothing because I am using a jutsu that sends out electric shocks all over body and whenever someone touches me it messes up there nerves in that part of the body," said Aizen with a smirk as he wiped the blood from his mouth.
'Shit tou-san was right, he is trying to immobilize me so he can taunt and humiliate me,' thought Arashi as he glared at Aizen. Aizen this time took off charging at Arashi again, but this time he was no longer hiding his jutsu with just small currents and everyone could see the electricity flowing around his body. Knowing that his speed was cut in half from not having full control over his right leg and only had one arm to fight back with he was hard pressed to come up with a plan.
Kage's box
"It looks like your boy is in trouble," said the Raikage not hiding his smirk.
"You say something?" asked Naruto as he drank some sake and completely ignored the Raikage. The Raikage's killing intent flared, but it didn't even face Naruto at all and he continued to drink his sake.
With Arashi
"Give up and I will let you live," said Aizen as he continued to try to hit Arashi, but was having some trouble.
"Bunshin," said Arashi, but was only able to form two bunshin due to his chakra being mess up at the moment.
"Pathetic, illusions won't help you win. I expected so much more from the legendary Tokikage's son," sneered Aizen.
"I see you know of my tou-san," said Arashi trying to buy some time.
"Everyone knows of your father in cloud, he is responsible for killing over 100 jounin and ANBU over the past five years," said Aizen angrily.
"I'll let you in on a little secret," said Arashi as he finally gathered enough chakra.
"What is that?" asked Aizen as he prepared to attack Arashi.
"My nii-san is the demon puppet user and he has killed much more cloud ninjas then my tou-san," said Arashi with a smirk and he started to form some hand seals.
"Die," yelled Aizen.
"Doton: Yomi Numa," said Arashi before slamming his hands on the ground. The ground all around Arashi turned into small swamp, which caused Aizen to give him a weird look before smirking.
"I see you can't even control you chakra to use a simple jutsu," laughed Aizen as he gathered all of the lightning flowing around his body and focused into his fist. So much lightning gathered into Aizen's fist that if he delivered a direct hit to any part of Arashi's body, he would be fried alive. Arashi just smirked and right as he was about to get hit he caught Aizen's fight in his left hand.
"Fool," said Aizen before the lightning from his hand flowed from his hand, and all over Arashi's. He waited to see Arashi fried alive, but something happened and the lightening went into the ground disappearing leaving Arashi unharmed. Arashi then used his right to stab Aizen with his kunai.
"How?" asked Aizen as he coughed up his own blood.
"Didn't you ever wonder why I would use a jutsu on myself and not you?" asked Arashi. Aizen looked down to see that there was no longer a small swamp on the ground, but it had hardened around Arashi's feet.
"That's right, I allowed myself to sink into the ground from my own jutsu in order to ground me so that your lightning armor would have no effect on me," said Arashi before Aizen fell to the ground dead with a shocked look on his face.
"Winner of the first match, Higurashi Arashi," said Genma. The crowd just remained silent before the Hyuuga section started to cheer and the rest of the crowd started to cheer loudly as well. Arashi just ignored the crowed before channeling some chakra into his hand and punching the ground around his feet to free himself.
"Whew, that was a close call," said Arashi as he started to limp back to the waiting area. His nerves in his arm and leg were still a little messed up, but he was sure by the time his next fight came along that he would have regained full control over his body again.
Kage's Box
"Well that sure was an interesting fight," said Naruto with a smirk.
'You got lucky he underestimated you Arashi-kun or that could have gone much worse. I also wished you would have taunted him more the Raikage is barely directing any killing intent at me,' thought Naruto.
"Yes, most interesting," said the Raikage.
'I know your son was holding back his true power during the fight, but no matter once I kill you I will finish off the rest of your family. I think I will keep your wife as my personal slave though, that way such beauty doesn't go to waste,' thought the Raikage with a hidden grin.
Author's Note: Sorry if the fighting scene wasnt too great, but we aren't that good with fighting scenes. We will make the fighting scenes more vivid and detailed in the next chapters we promise that much but until then take care and thanks for the reviews.
