Half way through this chapter I read Sharingan is red and Chidori is blue. That was very amusing.
I've talked to Jirayia and the Hokage. All preparations for the exam are in place. Tsuanade is back in the village. Jirayia also knows that I'll be dumping my multipliers into him any time I want to be weaker. I'm starting out with no multiplier. I've been training with that for the pass week. I should be good. And if not, I'll just take some multipliers back. Since I don't even need to touch the people I share my power with. I've done my darn best to avoid Midori. Which isn't hard.
"You ready?" I ask Ken. I'm apparently able to set up a system with the multipliers. Ken is allowed to also give his power to Jirayia. Midori as well, Ken informed her. And they are able to get exactly what they gave back. Same with sensei and Jirayia, of course.
"Yeah, I'm ready." Ken replies. He's still cross with me. But he doesn't hate me. No, just really disappointed. "You and the guys in charge better handle this invasion." He tells me.
"Ken, you are now one of the strongest shinobi currently breathing. But still, we will have it handled."
Shino vs Choji. Rock Lee vs Shikamaru.
Gaara vs Dosu.
Misumi vs Sasuke. Ken vs Kin.
Neji vs Darge.
I have the last fight of the tournament. Gaara will probably not lose control in his first fight. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to beat Neji without my multiplier. I guess I'll find out.

3rd Person
Shino stares at Choji. Hayate gives them the go to (having been conveniently at a bar instead of wondering around the village). Shino sends bugs to attack Choji's chakra. He also rushes towards the plump boy, hoping to not give him enough time to set off his Justu. Choji goes on the defense. The two are locked in combat, with Choji getting slower and slower. Choji starts to look flustrated. He wants to use his boulder Justu, but can't because Shino isn't giving him any room to breathe.
"No, not like this!" Choji shouts. He starts doing the Justu with one hand while having a kunai in his defending hand to make it more dangerous for Shino to attack.
'He is desperate.' Shino thinks. Shino starts jumping away. Choji pulls off half of the Justu before using his other hand to quicken the process, since Shino gave him some breaths my room. Choji stops right before using the Justu.
"My chakra...I can't safely use this Justu." Choji says dejectedly. Shino pushes his eyewear up.
"Forfeit." Shino simply says.

"Poor Choji." Ino says.
"He was starting to pull off that one handed Justu. Even if he doesn't get a promotion, he'll have definitely of walked away from this better." Midori says.
"It's time for Shikamaru's fight. You know, it sucks that only the boys on our teams made it to the finals." Ino says. Sakura nods.
"We need to be stronger." Sakura says.
"We will be, Sakura-san, we have been working hard." Hinata says.

"Show me your flames of youth, Shikamaru!" Lee shouted.
"This is going to be so troublesome." Shikamaru groans. The match begins. Shikamaru jumps into the air and starts throwing kunai down at Lee. Lee flips away from the assault of sharp metal. Shikamaru lands and Lee starts rushing towards Shikamaru at considerable speed. Shikamaru rushes to do the nara's shadow technique. It rushes towards Lee. Lee expertly dodges the Justu by jumping into the air in a spin towards Shikamaru's left. While dodging, he looks behind him to see the shadow reach the kunai and turn to come at him. Lee lands near Shikamaru and starts evading the shadow's path.
"That was a most excellent attempt, Shikamaru-san. But I will not be as easy to trap as Midori-san was!" Lee shouts. Shikamaru looks more than annoyed.
"I wanted this to be over." Shikamaru groans. 'He had dodged it, and if it looked like it was just going past him I thought it might have fooled him. Guess he isn't an idiot.' Shikamaru thinks.
Shikamaru puts two kunai in his hand and starts gaining some distance away from Lee. He throws an explosive kunai into the ground in front of him. Lee jumps away from the explosion. In the smoke, Shikamaru uses his jacket as a parachute for a kunai. Lee circles around the explosion and rushes for Shikamaru. Shikamaru throws a kunai that Lee easily evades without slowing down his rush. Lee gets right on Shikamaru and delivers a swift kick to the head. Shikamaru gets knocked back a decent bit. 'This is too much of a drag. I don't even want to be a chunin. If this doesn't work, I'm done.' Shikamaru thinks.
"Prepare yourself, Shikamaru-san!" Lee shouts. Shikamaru uses a genjustu clone and both him and it run to the shade of the wall. Lee went to attack the clone. He got to it before it reached the shade and quickly turned to the real Shikamaru, after kicking the clone and feeling nothing. "Nice try, Shikamaru-san!" Shikamaru had just reached the shade and turned in Lee's direction when Lee was three quarters of the way to him. Shikamaru barely manages to perform the shadow imitation technique. Lee stops right in front of Lee.
'Man, this is so troublesome.' Shikamaru thinks. 'This isn't going to end well.'
"This isn't over yet, Shikamaru-san!" Lee yells. He starts struggling.
'He might actually break out. Ah, guess I'm pulling this again.' Shikamaru thinks as he makes both him and Lee pull out kunai. Difference? Shikamaru's kunai has an explosive tag on it. "This is a low-mid grade explosive tag. It will blow your leg clean off." Shikamaru says.
"You showed with Midori, that you wouldn't kill a fellow leaf shinobi." Lee says, calling the bluff. Shikamaru smirks. He activates the tag, and throws it. But he throws it up in the sky; where it blows up in just the right way to blow up the parachuted kunai towards Lee. It goes into Lee's arm and Shikamaru instantly drops the shadow Justu. Lee screams in pain, and Shikamaru kicks him in the face. Lee hits the ground on his back and Shikamaru puts a kunai to his throat.
"I would of quit. But I don't need you people thinking you know how I think." Shikamaru says. Hayate calls the match.
Midori's POV
That was badass. Like, wtf, Shika. He is brilliant. "Way to go Shika!" I yell. Ino and the others join in.
"He's pretty clever." Temari says, neutrally. Ino rolls her eyes.
"He's a genius! And he's a GOD compared to your arrogant ass." Ino replies. Temari's eye twitches, but she doesn't respond.
"This next fight. It has the guy that tried to kill Sakura-chan, right!?" Naruto asks. I nod.
"I'm led to believe that he'a a major threat." I reply.

Gaara went down to the field. Knowing his opponent wouldn't show. Because he had already killed Dosu.
"Ok, it's taking too long. Gaara wins by default." Hayate says. The crowd is not pleased.
Sasuke's POV
Hhn. I'm one step closer to my goal. I just have to beat this loser. The proctor gives us the go to. I rush towards him. He tries to catch me of gaurd with his weird arms. But I was more than prepared for this. I slice his arms with kunai. He makes a sound in pain. I jump up and drop kick him in his neck. He hits the ground, hard. I stomp on his liver and pull him up by his throat before giving him a hard punch to the area under his chest. I throw a kunai right into the ground near his neck.
"It's over." I say.
