The festival ended with Neji more confused that he had already started, Sakura had sincerely displayed the characteristics that his uncle had wanted; She was good with children, polite to the old lady that was very rude to her and kind hearted, of course everyone already knew that she was kind hearted to begin with. But now how will he know if she really is fit to become a Hyuuga.
Neji sighed running a hand through his brown hair looking at the ceiling of his room. Tomorrow was the third round of the chuunin exams and by the end of tomorrow, there will be new chuunins in the village. The contestants were, Hinata, Tenten, Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura and Neji himself. The others were already beaten and would be watching from the sidelines.
"Knock"
"Knock"
"Hai, come in," Neji called out not moving from his position. Hinata walked in dressed in her lavender, silk pajamas.
"Nii-san, you seemed troubled." She said quietly, making her way towards him. Neji got up and stared at her.
"Hn, don't worry about it Hinata-sama." Neji replied giving the girl a reassuring look.
"I know, but it's about Sakura-chan isn't it?" she pointed out sitting on the edge of her cousin's bed.
"How did you know?" The prodigy asked.
"Nii-san I saw you during the festival. I'm sure father has told you about the requirements of being a Hyuuga. Sakura-chan has already proved herself countless times but you still seemed confused about this," Hinata stated looking at her cousin seriously.
"Sakura did pass all the requirements, but one. Hiashi-sama might be convinced that she is worthy of the Hyuuga name but the elders has not approved of her." Neji mumbled taking the velvet box from his pocket. He felt Hinata's hand on his shoulder.
"Nii-san don't worry about the elders. They will be awed by Sakura tomorrow at the exams. You only have to worry about asking Kakashi-san about Sakura's hand in marriage. I doubt the famous copy ninja would want to hand over his only little girl." Hinata laughed smiling at him and exiting out of the room. Neji cringed at the thought of the silver haired ninja; He maybe a prodigy but one thing that scared him more than his girlfriend's temper was her dad. He gulped and decided to go to bed.
The next day, everyone gathered at the stadium to start the chuunin exams.
"Welcome! Please stay patient as we wait for our finalists! Sasuke Uchiha, Neji Hyuuga, Tenten, Hinata Hyuuga, Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno Hatake " Tsunade's voice boomed throughout the stadium. Loud cheers echoed throughout starting the event.
"The next round will be a battle royale! Everyone for themselves the last two remaining people will then fight to the very end! Alright begin!" Tsunade announced sitting down. Another round of cheers erupted and the six ninjas jumped into action.
Well that's chapter 23 please review! Sorry for the late update.
