Chapter Thirteen: The Prelims, Part Five

"Twelfth Match: Haku Momochi VS Dosu Kinuta!" yelled Anko cheerfully. The final sound ninja with a large gauntlet with holes on it and bandages on his arms staggered down the stairs. Haku jumped up on the rail, crossed her arms and stepped off. A platform of ice caught her and carried her to the ground. She pulled four senbon out for each fist and crossed her arms with the needles between her fingers. "Go, go, go! Make me some blood Haku!" Haku tossed the needles at Dosu and held her arm over her head in a Ram sign.

"Hidden Mist Jutsu." she whispered. The needles bounced off the gauntlet and punctured the floor. Dosu pulled the arm down and started to run until a thick fog covered the area.

"I can hear you." he said in a creepy voice. Haku started to make one handed seals as Dosu moved in the opposite direction of her. "Come out come out where ever you are."

"I'm on the other side of the arena for your information." she called. Dosu smirked beneath his bandages and ran towards her. He slammed into a thick mirror-like slab of ice floating around him. "Forbidden Jutsu: Demon Ice Mirrors!" the fog disappeared and Dosu started to panic. The ice was all around him and he couldn't escape. "NOW DIE!" she drew eight kunai as her image appeared in each mirror.

"Melody Blast!" a blast of air hit a mirror but it bounced off harmlessly and hit Dosu in the chest. Haku started to dash through the mirrors and rain down kunai and shuriken as Dosu felt cuts cover his body. Haku made another set of hand seals and the ice formed a dome around Dosu. Haku stuck her head out of the dome and started to spit a huge amount of water into it. She froze the water when the dome was full and stepped out onto the other side and walked up the steps as the proctors tried to get Dosu out of the dome of ice Haku froze him in.

"Thirteen Match: Shino Aburame VS Aio Rokusho." the last match was the fastest. Bugs covered Aio's body and sucked off his chakra. Shino ended the match by launching himself at Aio and round house kicking him in the head, knocking him out.

"Winner, Shino Aburame." called out Hayate. "Since Sai and Choji are the only ones left, they will fight."

the match ended with Sai surrounded Choji with ink beasts and was pretty much dry, or boring. "Winner is Sai." called Hayate as the finalist came down the stairs at his request. He pulled out a small box with small pieces of paper in them.

"These slips have numbers on them, corresponding with the person you will fight in the Finals. Draw your number and tell me when I ask for it." multiple hands reached into the box and pulled all the paper out. "Okay, tell us your number."

"Twelve is my number." Naruto held the strip up to show them.

"I got six." Shikamaru chimed lazily.

"Number one." said Temari.

"Number Eight." called Kankuro.

"I got number nine." said Sasuke.

"I have received number ten." said Gaara blankly.

"Two, I got number two." shrugged Deidara.

"Number five for me." yelled Haku.

"I have been chosen for the number three spot." Sai said with a creepy smile.

"Number three over here." said Hinata.

"I am number seven." said Shino.

"I'm number Eleven." said Urusai.

"That makes me number thirteen." a smiling Yugito said.

"Okay then, the Finals will go as follows." said Ibiki as he pulled out a chart.

Match One: Temari Sabaku VS Deidara

Match Two: Hinata Hyuuga VS Sai

Match Three: Haku Momochi VS Shikamaru Nara

Match Four: Shino Aburame VS Kankuro Sabaku

"You have one month to train." said the Sandaime as he smiled own on them.

"Why one month?" asked Ino.

"Well that's how long it will take for all the arrangements to be finished and allow the foreign dignitaries to arrive to see the match. We also need to finalize a treaty for an alliance with the Sound here in Konoha." the doors at the back of the room creaked open as Naruto stepped out.

"Fair warning, any one who gets within two hundred feet of Training Ground twenty seven will activate a huge rig of explosions and bobby traps."

"Haha, he said booby." laughed Kankuro.
