"Well done, you're the first to reach here, and in super record time too." The proctor greeted them and they waved her off, Naruko yawned and fell asleep with her head on Sakuya's thighs on one of the many benches in the room, Sasuko had fallen asleep leaning against a support pillar next to them. "Alright, this year we have to hold a preliminary round, the remaining of you will face another competitor so the number of attendees will be halved." He announced and everyone was so excited, there were 27 people in the last round, making a total of 9 teams of 3, but 3 people had dropped out, Naruko's team staying firm, making it a total of 24 left, 12 matches. "Alright, on the screen above there will be a set of names, two people only, and those two will proceed to battle it out until there is a victor or it is a draw so the number of people continuing will be smaller. Please look at the screen now to see who is going first." The Proctor announced and everyone turned their attention towards the screen, it raced through their names then stopped suddenly, Naruko smirked and she cracked her knuckles, her name appearing on the screen with another's from her village, it was her elder cousin Kyouko, whom loathed Naruko.
"Well, well, wasted no time I see, it's you and me Kyouko, so let's do this … Uzumaki style!" Naruko shouted as she got to the center of the floor, her and a girl with long purple hair, orange eyes, a red tattoo on the left side of her forehead, she wore a hot pink Chinese style shirt, blue pants, dark blue sandals, a green belt, her village headband around her neck, fishnet fingerless gloves, and a sword on her back.
"Very well then Naruko! Today… we don't fight as family members, we fight as enemies! Are you ready brat!?" Kyouko yelled as she dropped her sword onto the ground, her hair changed to bright red and her eyes a bright blue, Naruko smirked and her clothing changed, her hair turning red and her eyes blue, the markings on her cheeks disappearing.
"Bring it on Kyouko!" She yelled, she tore her long orange jacket off, revealing her light purple sleeved crop top that covered part of her neck, her light purple pants, black sandals, a black layer on her right side down to her knee, an orange belt around her hips, a long sleeved fishnet under armor, and she had bandages around her arms and hands, she dropped her sword too. "Let's go!" She yelled and the both ran towards each other, fists, punches, legs, kicks, all flying towards the other and at the same time they countered the others movements, they stood facing each other panting and finally they decided enough was enough, took their headbands off and tied them around their foreheads, determination in their eyes.
"Let's go! Activate: Rinnegan!" The two girls yelled and their eyes turned pale purple, ripple-like patterns appearing on their eyes, in front of Kyouko animals appeared with a summoning jutsu, weapons appearing before Naruko. "Let's go! This is the final blow Naruko/Kyouko!" The girls shouted forcefully, attacking one another, they fought and fought until their chakra was depleted, Naruko bit her lip in anger, Kyouko fell to her knees and then lost consciousness, Naruko's vision began to blur from a poison and she fell forward.
Before she hit the ground Sakuya caught her and medical units arrived, Naruko's breathing was shallow since she had received a deep wound on her stomach, the poison seeped into her blood and ran through her veins, rendering her unable to move. She was unconscious for most of the time where they had to train for the third and final exam, Sakuya and Sasuko passing their battles, Naruko's hair had permanently turned red and she sighed, saying it was 'just great' and she let it go since she loved red hair. It was the day of the third exams and she was released, she changed into dark grey shorts, a short-sleeved shirt that stopped above her naval that was just bandages, an open haori coat that was blue with red lining, bandages down her hands, orange fingerless gloves, wrappings on her lower legs, black sandals, and her headband on her forehead on a black cloth, a necklace around her neck. Naruko was the last one to arrive, everyone looked at her as she entered and some even gaped, she yawned and stood in between Sasuko and Sakuya, all of the people listening to the proctor and finally they started their matches. Naruko once again got to battle first, she was up against someone from the Sand village, a minute after starting she beat them using her Rinnegan effectively, choosing the Deva Path and flung her opponent quite fast upwards, kept him there a few seconds then brought his down quickly, pulling out a sword using her Asura Path, and stabbed him in the side, seemingly giving him a fatal wound but really didn't.
