Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. I wish I was a ninja.

Tsunade looked outside her window. As the winners entered her room, she did not turn, and they stayed silent. When the last one came in, she slowly turned around and saw the winners. A small smile grew on her face.

"So these are the winners?" Tsunade asked the Jonin escorts.

"Yes, here are the records," The Jonins replied. Tsunade received a large amount of papers and began looking over them.

"Aburame Shino...all opposing 34 Genin killed. 1 jutsu used, Kikaichu no Jutsu. Estimated time is 3 minutes and 1 second."

Naruto's eyes widened as he looked over to Shino.

"Uchiha Sasuke...13 Genin knocked unconscious, 21 burned to death. 3 jutsu used, Housenka no Jutsu, Goukakyu no Jutsu, Bunshin no Jutsu. Sharingan bloodline limit used. Estimated time is 5 minutes and 53 seconds."

Naruto crossed his arms and looked away, while Ino and Sakura looked at him mystified.

"Tenten...23 Genin with multiple bones fractures, 21 gave up. Extreme amount of weapons used. Estimated time is 4 minutes and 23 seconds."

Tenten smiled as Lee gave her a thumb up.

"Lee...all opposing 34 Genin knocked unconscious. Konoha Daisenpu taijutsu used. Estimated time is 6 minutes and 20 seconds."

Lee gave a small smile.

"Hyuuga Neji...3 Genin with minor traumatic brain injury, 31 knocked unconscious. Hakkesho Kaiten taijutsu used. Byakugan bloodline limit used. Estimated time is 3 minutes and 54 seconds."

Hinata lowered her head.

"Sabaku no Gaara...1 Genin knocked unconscious, 33 gave up. No jutsu used at all. Estimated time is 1 minute and 21 seconds."

Everyone's eyes widened, even Temari and Kankuro.

"Nara Shikamaru, 1 Genin killed, 33 knocked unconscious with minor stabs and bone fractures. 1 jutsu used, Kagemane no Jutsu. Estimated time is 7 minutes and 43 seconds."

Shikamaru gave a sigh. "That was troublesome..."

"Kankuro...all 34 opposing Genin killed. Special tools used were puppets, Karasu and Kuroari. Estimated time is 3 minutes and 3 seconds."

Kankuro gave a small laugh.

"Hyuuga Hinata...2 Genin knocked unconscious, 32 rendered immobile. Juken taijutsu used. Byakugan bloodline limit used. Estimated time is...3 minutes and 30 seconds."

"Hey, Hinata! Good job!" Naruto said aloud with a big grin on his face as he turned toward Hinata.

Hinata's eyes widened. Not only had she finished faster than Neji, but Naruto had commented on her fighting!

"T-Thank you..." She said in her small, shy voice.

"Continuing on..." Tsunade said. "Haruno Sakura...23 knocked unconscious, 11 burned. 1 jutsu used, Kawirimi no Jutsu. Estimated time is 8 minutes and 41 seconds."

Sakura then just realized she escaped 34 Genin with the intent to kill using only 1 jutsu.

"Inuzuka Kiba...all 34 Genin knocked unconscious. 2 jutsu used, Jujin Bunshin, Gatsuga. Estimated time is 4 minutes and 13 seconds."

Akamaru let out a friendly bark. "We did it, Akamaru!" Kiba said proudly.

"Yamanaka Ino...1 Genin killed, 33 knocked unconscious. 1 jutsu used, Shintenshin no Jutsu. Estimated time is...8 minutes and 41 seconds."

Sakura and Ino looked at each other as both had one eyebrow raised in pure confusion of the coincidence.

"Uzumaki Naruto..."

Naruto jumped up into the air. How did I do, how did I do!"

"20 Genin knocked unconscious, 14 Genin killed if not critically injured. 2 jutsu used, Kage bunshin no Jutsu, Rasengan. Estimated time...9 minutes and 59 seconds."

Naruto's jaw dropped. "There's no way I could've taken that long!"

Tsunade ignored his remark. "Temari...1 Genin killed, 33 knocked unconscious. 1 jutsu used, Kamaitachi no Jutsu. Estimated time is 2 minutes and 25 seconds."

Temari grinned.

Tsunade took one quick look at the papers again and put them down on the table. "Well, good job guys. Unfortunately, some parents will not be seeing their children. But...anyway...the tournament continues. Now, when I call your name, you will say a random number in-between 1 and 14. Don't go over 14. I will call your names randomly, so be ready, and do not repeat numbers. Ready?"

Everyone nodded.

"Tenten."

"2."

"Sakura."

"10."

"Lee."

"3."

"Hinata."

"9."

"Neji."

"4."

"Gaara."

"5."

"Kankuro."

"8."

"Naruto."

"13."

"Shikamaru."

"7."

"Sasuke."

"1."

"Shino."

"6."

"Kiba."

"11."

"Temari."

"14."

"Ino."

"12."

Tsunade nodded and jotted down the numbers. "Okay...so, the tournament matches are as follows!"

Tsunade held up a large sheet of paper. Everyone came in close to view. Several eyes were widened, and Tsunade set the paper down and stood up.

"Sasuke vs. Tenten for the first fight."

Tenten raised an eyebrow at Sasuke, and Sasuke didn't even look her way.

"Lee vs. Neji for the second fight." Tsunade continued.

Neji and Lee looked at each other with straight faces.

"Gaara vs. Shino for the third fight." Tsunade said, looking at the two.

They didn't even move their mouths.

"Shikamaru vs. Kankuro for the fourth fight."

Shikamaru looked over to Kankuro. "Puppet boy...that's gonna be very troublesome..."

"Hinata vs. Sakura for the fifth fight."

Hinata stood quiet. Sakura looked over to her.

"Doesn't she like Naruto...?"

"Kiba vs. Ino for the sixth fight."

"Dog boy!" Ino screamed aloud.

"Who's Ino?" Kiba questioned. Akamaru barked and turned his head to the left. Kiba looked at her and simply said, "Oh."

"And Naruto vs. Temari for the seventh fight."

Naruto looked over to Temari and her 'I-don't-know-that-guy' face.

Shikamaru whispered into Naruto's ear. "Naruto, watch out. That girl can be trouble. Remember our fight in the Chuunin Exam?"

Naruto nodded slowly.

"Tsunade-sama, that's not fair!" Sakura said.

"What's not?" Tsunade questioned.

"In the seventh fight, Naruto vs. Temari, they jump straight to the semi finals! Everyone else has to go through the quarterfinals!" Sakura stated.

"With more fight, you can train yourself, and by watching their battle and not having to battle them, you can study their attacks in the time that they don't fight." Tsunade replied with a blank look on her face.

Sakura sighed and shrugged.

"Okay, you know your opponents. Now, the real tournament starts in 1 month, much like the Chuunin Exam. In 1 month your Jonin sensei will take you to the stadium. Dismissed." Tsunade said.

Everyone walked out the door as Tsunade sat back in her chair. "This'll be intense...that's for sure."
