I really did make all of these fights random, just to spice up the exams.

Start of chapter

Hokage-sama and Hayate do as they did in the canon. Kabuto forfeits as he's supposed to, the first difference, really comes in the first match.

" the first fight will be between Choji Akimichi and Tenten!" Hayate says. I'm only the slightest bit surprised.

"Go Choji!" Ken shouts.

"Show your youthful flames, Tenten!" Rock lee yells.

3rd person

Choji and Tenten face eachother. Hayate gives them permission to start. Tenten throws shuriken at Choji. He gets hit by most of them, not being fast enough to dodge. Choji uses his expansion justu to roll towards Tenten. She throws all sorts of weapons his way while trying to escape him, but she fails.

"The winner is Choji Akimichi! The next fight will be Neji Hyuuga versus Kiba Inuzuka." The fighters go down to floor.

"Ok Akimaru, we're going to beat this guy!" Kiba states confidently. Neji says nothing. Kiba and Akimaru attack first. They go in for close range. Kiba throws a punch at Neji's stomach while Akimaru jumps to attack his face. Neji slams his palm into Akimaru's stomach and it sends the dog away. He swiftly dodges Kiba's punch and strikes Kiba in his shoulder.

"Aki, gaah!" Kiba doesn't finish as he feels the pain from Neji's attack. Kiba jumps away from Neji and goes to Akimaru who has just now recovered from Neji's blow. "Ok, that's it, let's get serious!" Kiba shouts to Akimaru. Kiba throws down smoke bombs and him and Akimaru attack Neji again.

Neji turns on his Byakugan. Neji blocks and counter attacks every move Kiba and Akamru make until the smoke clears. "Darn it! Here, Akimaru!" Kiba shouts in frustration as he throws a soldier pill to Akamaru and takes one himself.

"Kiba is getting serious." Kurenai says.

"I'm really disappointed that he didn't get this serious with me during our spar." Darge says.

"To be fair, I don't think you gave him the chance." Kurenai replies.

Akamaru jumps on top of Kiba and transform to look just like him. "Get ready to lose! Fang over fang!" Kiba states as he and Akamaru attack Neji once again. Neji shakes his head.

"I'm done with you." Neji calmly states as he uses his rotation to repel Kiba and Akamaru. They both get knocked back with Neji's attack but also with some of the chakra energy from their own attack. Kiba and Akamaru are knocked far back on to the ground. Neji goes and attacks Kiba as he gets up. Neji unleashes a flurry of blows. Kiba hits the ground once more and doesn't get back up.

"The winner is Neji Hyuuga. The next match will be Dosu Kinuta versus Kankuro!"

Darge's POV

I really wish I could have a good fight. Sure, there are a number of my fellow exam takers that I have to not underestimate, but I can't go all out on any of them. Maybe Gaara, if he unleashes some of the shikaku. I should see if the hokage can convince Jirayia to seal up a decent bit of my power. Not all of it. Basically, reduce me to 1/20. With the ability to get rid of that dampener, of course. It'll be the second thing I see to tomorrow. I hope Jirayia can figure that out, because if I can't have a fun fight against anyone below S-rank, I'll get bored.

"Gaaaaaaaah!" Kankuro screams from his wrapping on his puppets back. Oh, they're fighting? Jeez, I need to pay better attention.

"Clever, he was controlling his puppet from the wrapping. Too bad he went up against someone like this." Kakashi says.

"Yeah, those sound ninja are tricky." Sakura says.

"Dosu wins! Next fight will be between Naruto and Sasuke." Hayate says. Sakura gasps.

"Welp, Sasuke loses on a technicality." I say a bit too loudly.

"What do you mean by that huh!" Naruto shouts. Sasuke is just looking at me. I don't bother saying anything. I just tap on my neck while looking at Sasuke. Those aware of curse mark have both looks of confusion and realization.

"Wait, wouldn't that thing help Sasuke-kun?" Ino asks.

"Do you really think he'd want to, or is even allowed to use that thing freely?" I reply. Sasuke grunts. Kakashi tells Sasyke something.

"It isn't like I need to go all out against the dobe anyway." Sasuke says as he jumps down. Naruto didn't like that one bit.

"Hey, I can beat you anytime anywhere! You know what? If you can't use chakra moves, I won't either!" Both of them are on the floor with Hayate, waiting for him to start the match.

"Naruto can't beat Sasuke WITH chakra techniques, regardless of Sasuke's handicap." Shikamaru says.

"Yeah, you better take Sasuke-kun seriously, Naruto!" Ino shouts down to him. I shrug. It's a shame that Sasuke and Naruto have to fight so early.

"Fight when you're read." Hayate says. Naruto charges at Sasuke. Sasuke flinches in an obvious sign of pain from his mark. Naruto throws a punch and Sasuk dodges, throwing his own at Naruto's face, it lands and Sasukr doesn't waste a second. He jumps forward and kicks Naruto in the stomach.

"Just you wait Sasuke! I'll kick your ass without any justu!" Naruto shouts as he throws three shuriken at Sasuke. Sasuke dodges the shuriken.

"As if I'd lose to you, Naruto!" Sasuke shouts back. Both him and Naruto run towards eachother.

"You better beat that duck assed bastard, Naruto!" Ken shouts down. Ken receives some strange looks for that. The two get close to eachother. Sasuke throws a punch. Naruto dodges and punches Sasuke in the left rib. They jump back from eachother.

"There's no way that Naruto is standing up to Sasuke-kun." Ino says, flabbergasted.

"Ino, Naruto has gotten a lot stronger. He could be a few people here." I say.

"Naruto really isn't that bad. Though, if he and a Sasuke-kun were both at full and going all out, Naruto would lose." Sakura says.

"Naruto really isn't that bad, she says. Please Sakura. You have no right to talk about Naruto. You're the weakest one here." Midori says annoyed. Sakura has a pitiful look on her face.

"Now, now, Midori-chan. Sakura has dealt with enough during these exams." I say amused.

"Well, we'll see how much Naruto has improved." Shikamaru says. Naruto and Sasuke are looking at eachother intensely. Sasuke heads towards Naruto.

"I'm going to end this, dobe!" Sasuke shouts. He throws shuriken at Naruto and jumps high.

Sasuke's POV

Everyone is watching. I will not lose to the dobe! That's it! Naruto dodged my shuriken. That's fine. I go down with a twist kick towards the dobe. It lands and he goes smashing down. I look down at him. Will that be it?

"You going to get back up?" I ask. He starts struggling to get up. That's also fine. I have..."Gah!" I grunt out lowly. This curse is acting up badly. I have to finish this soon.

Darge's POV

Ok, Sasuke might win do to Naruto's...Narutoism? I guess losing by lowering yourself to your opponent's level isn't really that bad.

"Kakashi must really be putting Naruto through the ringer for him to make it even this far." Asuma's says. I see Naruto slowly getting back up.

"Don't underestimate me, teme!" Naruto yells as he stands on his feet. At this point, I really don't know who's going to win. Naruto could if he started using shadow clones, but something tells me that he won't do that. "I will win and become a chunin! Then I'll be one step closer to being hokage!" Naruto states loudly before he charges towards Sasuke. Naruto starts throwing blow after blow at Sasuke. Sasuke looks like he's dodging with everything he has. Then, I realize what that bastard is doing. His speed increases for a moment, he kind of flips onto his hand as he slams it to the floor and kicks Naruto hard in the chin. Sending the blonde high into the air.

"That's my move!" I hear Lee say. It looks like the two are flying as Sasuke jumps into the air after Naruto.

"I'll admit, that part was borrowed, but this next part is all mine." Sasuke puts a hand on Naruto's back and twists to kick him on the right In a downward motion. As he and Naruto go down, he positions himself again. "You should of came at me with everything you had, Naruto!" Sasuke shouts as he slams an axe kick into Naruto and he smashes down into the floor...holy shit. That looked brutal. Sasuke is panting a bit. While Naruto looks out of it.

"Dang it Naruto!" Ken yells.

"He did well, but he was fighting Sasuke-kun." Ino says.

"Naruto..." I hear Hinata say weakly. Naruto makes a noise.

"No way." Sasuke utters.

"Is he going to get back up?" Tenten asks. Naruto groans again.

"I...I...I can't...lose." He gets out. He starts moving.

Sasuke's POV

He can still move? If I go on for too much longer this curse mark will get the best of me.I have to put him down! I walk over to Naruto as he try's to get up.

"Let me help you out of that position your stuck in, dobe." I say. I grab his shirt pull him forward. Then smash my knee into his stomach. I then throw him to the wall. "Just. Stay. Down." I growl out.

"Fucking hell! I take back my earlier thoughts. THAT was brutal. What the hell Sasuke!" Darge shouts to me.

"The idiot made the mistake of holding out on me. That's his problem." I respond.

"That...that was a little too much." Ino says.

"Naruto's tough! But even he is going to take a while to recover from that!" Ken yells. Hayate goes over to check Naruto. I hear him groan. There is absolutely no way he can move so soon. If he gets back up. I'm going to stomp on him until I hear something break. The curse mark is really starting to bug me, I can't afford for this to continue.

"I...I can...still...figh..." Naruto stops. I'm guessing he passed out.

"Naruto is out of commission! Sasuke wins." The proctor says. I sigh in relief. I jump back up to the balcony beside Kakashi-sensei.

"That was a brutal way to deal with a teammate, don't you think?" Kakashi asks me.

"Like Ken said, Naruto's tough. He'll be back up, talking about being hokage in a day or two." I reply.

"Next fight will be between Sakura Haruno and Gaara." Hayate says. That doesn't sound good.

Darge's POV

Well, that's sound like a terrible match.

"Kakashi-sensei, if I could be frank, Gaara is a monster. So in all respect, you should be ready to get her the heck out of there when he inevitably decides to try and kill her. Assuming you don't get her to forfeit." I say. Kakashi considers what I say.

"I'll keep that in mind. Thank you for the concern, Darge." He replies. Sakura and Gaara are on the floor and have been giving the go to fight.

"Sakura, I don't mean to demean any of your skill, but he is not an opponent you can beat. He will kill you with no remorse." Shino says to Sakura. Sakura looks up Shino. "Sasuke, she'll listen to you without doubt." Shino says.

"If she won't listen to you, then she doesn't deserve help until it's made obvious." Sasuke replies.

Sakura hears this and an emotion crosses through her eyes. She looks Gaara in the eyes. She throws shuriken at him. His sand blocks the shuriken.

"Gaara's defense is perfect. His sand will protect him no matter what. Not to mention Gaara can use that sand to kill in scary ways." Kankuro says. Sakura pales.

"I'll kill you quick." Gaara says. His sand starts to go for Sakura quickly. Sakura tries to jump away but it grabs on to her lower body.

"Sakura! Forfeit, just say you surrender!" I say.

"I surrender!" I'm already zooming to Sakura before she finishes talking. I see Gaara's hand start to clench. I knock the sand away from Sakura with brute force and speed. The sand comes for us, but I'm too quick for it.

"Gaara wins by forfeit! That's enough." Hayate says. I have Sakura on the balcony beside Kakashi. Gaara does not look pleased.

"What was he going to do with that sand?" Sakura asks in fear.

"He...he would of crushed you to death." Hinata says. "We...we saw him kill three people like that." Sakura looks like she's going to be sick.

"The next match will be Shikamaru Nara versus Midori Dakeri!" Hayate says. I forgot, the hokage put that as our official last name.

"Wish me luck." Midori says as she jumps down.

"So troublesome." Shikamaru groans.
