The month of training was now starting to come to an end. It was now the middle of the fourth week and all three Leaf Genin were wrapping up their training. "Great job, Udon. We've come a long way in two weeks. The last portion is in two days, so for these couple of days, we're going to focus on inflicting as much damage as possible without using that much chakra." Daikoku said. "That involves a lot of taijutsu and weapons, right?" Udon asked. "Yes, in your situation you can use that time to come up with a strategy." Daikoku said. Udon nodded and attacked Daikoku head on. "Don't do that. You can end up trapped easily." Daikoku said. "Unless, you have a plan." Udon said with a smile. The frontal attacking Udon was just an illusion, and the actual Udon attacked from the side. Daikoku was very skilled in taijutsu though, and was able to easily counter all of Udon's attempts. Udon jumped back and threw some shuriken at Daikoku. Instead of trying to dodge them, like Udon wanted, Daikoku simply deflected them with a large kunai knife. Udon then got a plan, and ran toward Daikoku. When he got within arm's reach of Daikoku, he slid on the ground to try and trip him. Daikoku jumped up, but realized his error. The Udon that ran at him was just another illusion. The real Udon then tackled Daikoku in mid-air and took him to the ground. "Good job!" Daikoku said. "Thank you." Udon replied. Then the two continued to spar.
"Again." Hamaki commanded. "Paralysis Jutsu!" Moegi shouted. Moegi performed the correct hand signs and then paralyzed Hamaki. But, Hamaki was skilled in the technique, being able to reverse the effects too. "Again." Hamaki commanded. "Why do we keep doing this?" Moegi complained. "So that you master the jutsu." Hamaki said. "I already have mastered it. Not everyone is going to be able to break out of it like you!" Moegi said. "The opponent will not stop long enough to be caught in it. Plus, the length of the paralysis is linked directly to the amount of chakra you put into it. You're not going to be able to paralyze the opponent for more than five seconds, without quickly draining your chakra. I am waiting two seconds before reversing the jutsu, so that it will seem much longer when in the fight." Hamaki explained. Moegi then shut her mouth and continued training with the technique.
"Let's go over it again." Ebisu said. "What is the limit on your Rasengan?" Ebisu asked. "Three times a day." Konohamaru answered. "How many clones can you create without running out of chakra?" Ebisu asked. "Eight clones." Konohamaru said. "What is the recommended amount of clones per fight?" Ebisu asked. "Ebisu-sensei, we've gone over this a thousand times! Why do we have to keep doing this?" Konohamaru asked. "The fights start tommorow. I want this information to be considered every time you strategize." Ebisu answered quickly. "Now, what is the recommended number of clones per fight?" Ebisu insisted. "Five clones recommended per fight." Konohamaru sighed. "How many Rasengans per fight?" Ebisu asked. "One per fight." Konohamaru answered. "Good, let's go over it again." Ebisu said with a smile. "Oh my gosh!" Konohamaru screamed.
The next day, the last portion of the exam was about to start. All the genin went to a huge arena built solely for this occasion. The seats were filled with shinobi from all over and citizens of the Sand Village. The arena had a pond, a rocky area, a forest like area, and of course plenty of sand. The Kages from the Five Great Shinobi Villages all showed up. All of them watched for their villages up and coming genin. Then, when all of the genin had showed up, Kazekage Gaara stood up. "Thank you all for coming, all of you. This is a wonderful opportunity not only for the genin to become chunin, but for the bond between villages. As the leader of this village, I say, let the last portion of the Chunin Exam begin!" Gaara announced. The entire crowd cheered loudly and clapped their hands. A Sand Village ninja went to the center of the arena. "The first match will be between Konohamaru Sarutobi of the Leaf Village, and Seishi of the Sand Village." The ninja announced. "Great, I'm the first match." Konohamaru grumbled. "Go get him, Konohamaru!" Moegi said. Konohamaru smiled then looked to Udon. Udon smiled and nodded. Konohamaru jumped down to the arena meeting in the middle with the proctor and his opponent. "The rules are simple. You will fight until I think that one of you are unable to fight, or until one of you dies." The proctor said. Konohamaru gulped when he said this. "Shake hands." The proctor commanded. Konohamaru shook hands with his opponent and finally took a good look at him. He had green eyes and dark brown hair. He also had something wrapped up on his back. "Good luck to both of you. Now, scoot back five steps." The proctor said. They did so without a word. "Let the match begin!" The proctor yelled.
