"Wonder who's next?" Naruto asked.
"I hope I'm next," Lee said as he bounced on the balls of his feet, "I can't wait to show off the results of my training!"
"The fifth fight will be Naruto Uzumaki of Konoha against Hōki of Taki," Hayate stated inwardly glad that the Mini Might Guy wouldn't be shouting in his years yet.
"NO! When will it be my turn!" Lee asked, falling to his knees.
"You'll go when it's your turn," Naruto shrugged before he and Hōki looked at eachother. Grinned and mimicking Fū's actions of jumping over the railing.
Hinata and Shino shook their heads with small smiles. Before Hinata chuckled, "This is bound to be an interesting match."
When the two combatants arrived at the middle of the room they gave each other a quick fist bump before taking a couple steps back. Hōki's stance was purely defensive with very few openings a Genin and even some Chunin would be able to take advantage of. Naruto withdrew his mother's Katana making the returning Tenten squeal in joy, "Oh my Sage! Kushina-Sama's katana! I never tire of seeing it in action!"
"Sword-taku," Naruto chuckled.
"And proud of it!" Tenten cheered, eyes still shining.
Naruto rolled his eyes, and took his stance of crouched legs ready for movement in any direction and his katana held above his head as if he's about to bring it down, "Are you both ready?" Hayate asked, getting small nods from both contestants, "Then begin!"
Hōki leapt back quickly, going through hand signs, "Wind Release: Wind Shuriken Jutsu!" He then blew out releasing a flurry of shuriken made completely out of Wind Chakra that to some of the Genin in the room were difficult to see. Naruto however smirked, channeled his chakra into the katana and swung down releasing a Great Breakthrough that not only met Hōki's Wind Shuriken but overpowered and dispersed them, "WHAT the hell?!" Hōki yelled as he leapt away, "You can use Jutsu through your sword?!"
"The wonders of Seals made by an Uzumaki!" Naruto chuckled before flipping his katana around and charged, getting up in Hōki's face in moments and bringing the blunt back of the katana across Hōki's chest in a slash. Due to using the blunt side Naruto didn't deal much damage to Hōki however he still left a stinging line on Hōki's chest as the Taki nin leapt away again.
"Ok… he's fast… and can use Wind Jutsu though his sword," Hōki muttered, "Maybe I should have listened when Fū wanted to talk about the Uzumaki apart from them being damn powerful…" He then gave Naruto a grin, "Alright. Bit early but I guess I should bring out the stronger moves," He then quickly went through two different sequins one right after the other, "Wind Release: Wolf Pack Jutsu! Fire Release: Chain Fire-Starter Jutsu! Jutsu Combination: Sole Firestorm!" Around Hōki four wolves made of wind took form before Hōki snapped his fingers sending four sparks out which quickly set the wolves ablaze. A few Jonin looked impressed as while Fire Release: Wolf Pack did exist it was nowhere near as powerful as setting the Wind Variant of the Wolf Pack Jutsu on fire and for a Genin to pull it off alone AND mold Chakra for the two Jutsu simultaneously without using a Shadow Clone. That took some serious skill.
"Damn. That's impressive," Naruto whistled as the four wolves began running around him slowly creating a flaming tornado, "Now… my turn. Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto made four clones that appeared around him, each one grinning as they put their katanas away and drew their wakizashi while Naruto went through a few hand signs, "Water Release: High Humidity Jutsu!"
In Unison the four clones said, "Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu!" Water quickly gathered around their blades taking on the form of serpentine dragons while heavily thinning out the fog the original al Naruto made. Swinging their swords the four dragons surged forward crashing into the tornado for a few moments before piercing into the flaming walls. There was an explosion of steam which was quickly added back into Naruto's High Humidity Jutsu which was then sucked back into his clone's Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu. Making a simple but very effective cycle that was slowly growing in power as more and more water was drawn in as the heat of the flames died down.
By the time the tornado died down everyone was shocked to see that the four Water Dragons had grown in size, their eyes now glowing a menacing yellow. Seeing this Hōki gave Naruto a deadpan look and said, "Your Chakra levels are BULLSHIT!"
"Comes with being an Uzumaki…," The four Naruto clones cackled while the original smirked, "...and a LOT of training."
Hōki growled as he weighed his opinions. He knew he could bust out a couple more combos but any combination that was worth a damn would either take two long or would just be shut down by Naruto's clones, "Well no one said this would be easy…" He muttered before once more rapidly going through hand signs.
Naruto's clones simply ducked down as the original swung his katana around him, "Wind Release: Tornado Barrier," As Naruto continued to swing the sword around him a swirling wall of wind began to rise to protect him and his clones.
Hōki's eyes narrowed as he completed his hand sign chains, "Wind Release: Wind Senbon Jutsu. Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Flower Jutsu. Jutsu Combination: Burning Needle Storm!" As the barrage of almost invisible senbon and small fireballs merged into bright balls of fire that surrounded a nigh invisible needle-like core shot out at the blond Konoha Genin. The four clones smirked.
Naruto leapt into the air and began spinning making the wind wall raised until it met the ceiling. Naruto's clones stood up, made an upward slash and four new water dragons shot out to coil around the tornado. All the onlookers held their breath as the flaming senbon hit the tornado and released a large amount of steam before the colliding chakra detonated. "Holy shit! Is Naruto alright?!" Hōki yelled in shock despite the large amount of sweat pouring down his face due to the amount of Chakra needed for the combo and mental strain it took to pull off his Jutsu combinations.
"Got to say I'm impressed," Naruto said as the smoke from the explosion cleared, his clones and tornado wall nowhere to be seen, "Not only are you able to do Jutsu combinations solo but you also shut down my Water Dragon Tornado Wall combo. Can't deny I'm impressed since I need my Shadow Clones to pull off my 'one man' combos."
Hōki scowled, "Damn it. I forfeit. There's nothing I can do since I'm too low on Chakra after that last combo."
"Winner by forfeit, Naruto Uzumaki," Hayate called.
Naruto put his katana away, walked over and offered a handshake. Hōki looked at Naruto for a few moments before grunting and shaking Naruto's hand, "Make no mistake. I'll beat you one day," Hōki smirked, "I'll find a way past your bullshit levels of Chakra."
"It'll be interesting if you do!" Naruto chuckled before the two separated with Hōki heading up to Juhimaru who patted him on the back.
"The sixth round will be Kiba Inuzuka of Konoha against Zaku Abumi from Oto," Hayate called, slightly glad that so far he hadn't had to step in to stop a single fight though looking at the cocky grin on the two Genin who were making their way down the stairs he wondered if that was about to change.
"Hope you're ready to get your ass handed to you Dog Breath," Zaku said with an evil grin as he flexed his fingers as if itching for a chance to strangle the Inuzuka. The Oto genin is dressed in a beige shirt with the kanji (死, shi) or death written on it three times. His forehead protector had the symbol of a musical note and was connected to a metal face mask that covered his forehead and cheeks. He also wore pants and a scarf with a similar pattern to the first set of arm and leg warmers that Zabuza wore when he first fought against Kakashi, "Because there's no way you or your mutt can beat me."
Kiba and Akamaru growled as they got into their stances, "We'll see about that."
"Begin!" Hayate said before jumping back as Kiba and Akamaru burst into action, each one shooting forward as they turned into living drills, the air twisting around them so violently their forms were completely blocked form sight.
"Gatsuga!" Kiba roared as he and Akamaru attempted to slam into Zaku from two sides.
Zaku grinned and raised his hands, each one aimed at a different incoming drill, "Eat shit dog breath. Decapitating Airwaves!" An explosion of air pressure and sound burst from Zaku's palms making Kiba and Akamaru crash to the ground after flying past their target, as they howled in pain for the high pitched sounds while up in the stands Naruto and Fū covering their ears. On the other side of the room Gaara stood firm save for a slight grimace as some of his sand turned into earplugs.
Seeing his foe on the ground Zaku laughed, "You see?! You can't even touch me!" The Oto Genin strutted towards Kiba, constantly sending out more bursts of sound to keep his opponents on the ground. As he did Hayate prepared to end the match but Hirzuen gave a subtle motion wanting to see if Kiba could turn this around making Hayate frown.
When Zaku arrived at his downed foe, he gave the downed Inuzuka a sinister grin on his face before raising a hand and blasting Kiba's legs, breaking them in several places. Kiba letting out a blood curdling scream of pain. Before Kiba's scream ended Zaku leaned down and grabbed Kiba around the neck, "Any last words before I make you a head shorter Dog Breath?"
"Kiba Inuzuka is unable to fight. Zaku Abumi wins," Hayate said suddenly right next to Zaku, a hand on the Oto Genin's shoulder even as he sent a reproachful glare at Hiruzen "Medics get out here NOW!"
Zaku scowled at the Jonin but let go of Kiba making Hayate let go of the Oto Genin to keep the Genin off his broken legs. As Zaku went back to his team, the Genin who wasn't glaring daggers at Zaku was Neji who didn't care about the Inuzuka Heir. Each one making plans to deal with the cocky teen. "You made a lot of enemies with that show Zaku," His female teammate said with a smirk, "Whatever will you do now?"
"Kick their asses of course," Zaku laughed, "What else would I do to those weaklings Kin?" Zaku's other teammate a male who had most of his face covered by bandages. He was also hunched over with a long sleeved light gray shirt and a poncho just shook his head in exasperation. Apparently Zaku got on even his nerves.
Meanwhile Orochimaru was scowling. He had ordered that the Yuki Clan member be brought to him to begin his experimentations however when Kabuto returned without the would be subject and a report that said Yuki Clan member had not only frozen themself completely solid but had also somehow shattered themself into tiny pieces in order to deny Orochimaru another test subject.
This left Zabuza and Haku the only members of the Yuki Clan left and he knew his minions would stand no chance against the Demon of the Mist. Meaning getting his hands on the two Hyoton users in Konoha was out of the question, "Tell me Kabuto. How much DNA is left over?"
"Not enough to make a true clone," Kabuto scowled, "We'd have to find compatible DNA for a hybrid and I don't know if there's enough left of the fool for that…" He then paused and tilted his head in thought, "We could graft what's left to Shin, then collect addontal Yuki DNA that way. It will take longer but should be doable if we're careful."
Orochimaru nodded as he thought about Kabuto's suggestion, "Have the DNA stored for later if possible, if not then graft it to Shin. Speaking of our adaptive friend, how is he taking to his new abilities?"
"Very well. He should be ready to aid in the invasion," Kabuto replied with a grin, "As is Tauyua's replacement. They've already woken up from the process of getting a stage two Curse Mark and are currently doing a little training to get used to their new power."
"Excellent," Orochimaru says with a sinister smile, "Everything is proceeding as planned. Make sure Kimimaro is ready as he'll be leading the Invasion. Oh and before I forget… How are our… other projects going?"
"Progressing as expected Orochimaru-Sama," Kabuto said with a bow before leaving the room. Yes they have had some setbacks, but it wouldn't matter. Once Konoha was burned down nothing would be able to distract them.
"Zaku is gonna pay," Naruto growled.
"Agreed," Shino nodded as he adjusted his glasses giving them an ominous sheen, "And considering he repeatedly used one move it is likely he has a limited repertoire of Jutsu."
"Most likely they're just variants of his Decapitating Airwaves," Hinata stated, "Some with more finesse and most likely one that uses both hands to target the same person."
"In other words he's uncreative," Fū deadpanned before muttering so only the people around her could hear, "Though with those pipes in his arms if they get plugged he's likely to just lose said arms."
Naruto cracked a savage grin, "Easy way to 'disarm' him then."
"That pun was bad and you should feel bad for making it," Hinata groaned, getting chuckles from Naruto and Yūgao.
"The Seventh battle will be between Shikimaru Nara against Sakura Haruno both of Konoha," Hayate called out causing the two Genin to look at eachother with raised eyebrows.
"This should be… interesting," Sakura said as she and Shikamaru made their ways down, both already making and discarding strategy after strategy. When the two stood before Hayate, Shikamaru kept his slouched position with his hands in his pockets while Sakura got into the standard Konoha Academy fighting style getting her confused looks from most of her old classmates.
"Why is she using the academy's fighting style?" Sasuke asked as he glanced at Choji and returning Ino.
Choji shrugged, "Perhaps it's part of her plan to throw Shika off?"
"Possibly," Ino agreed after scanning the arena, "Shikamaru is one of if not the smartest the Genin here, so doing something unexpected might give her an edge."
"Do you think it'll work?" Shino inquired. Choji and Ino glanced at each other before shrugging.
"I honestly have no idea. Doesn't mean Sakura won't give it her best shot though," Ino stated.
"Begin!" Hayate called and the moment he did Shikamaru pulled something out of his pocket and tossed it behind him releasing a powerful flashbang blinding just about everyone in the room. When everyone could see again they found that Shikamaru was scowling with a large ring of shadows around him and Sakura nowhere to be seen. Ino was smirking while Choji had a raised eyebrow as if he was expecting Sakura to do something else.
Shikamaru settled down to wait, eyes closed and ears open while keeping the ring of shadows ready. Sakura slowly and quietly pulled herself halfway out of the ground near the wall behind Shikamaru. Equally as carefully she withdrew a blowgun and dart from a bag, placed the dart between her teeth to load it and took a slow breath. However a tendril of shadow shot out towards her making her eyes go wide and dove back underground without releasing the blowdart.
The shadow returned to the large circle and once more the waiting game began. This time when Sakura appeared she was below the giant hand statues, and now knowing her first strategy wouldn't work she instead threw an open waterskin into the air the water flying everywhere before she blitzed through hand signs even as Shikamaru's shadow raced towards her, "Water Release: Water Needle Barrage Jutsu!" The water in the air quickly morphed into several small needles which shot themselves at Shikamaru.
Everyone was expecting Shikamaru to drop his Jutsu and leap away, however the shadows around him rose up and much to everyone's surprise blocked Sakura's Jutsu. Sakura was so shocked that her Jutsu failed she never noticed a sliver of shadow making its way to the statue's shadow until it was too late, "Shadow Possession Jutsu… Complete," Shikamaru said, opening his eyes and letting the circle of shadows around him fade away as he didn't need it anymore.
As Sakura struggled to free herself she was shocked to find that her struggles and even surging her Chakra did nothing. Looking up she scowled seeing Shikamaru's smirk. The two looked at each other before Sakura scowled, "I forfeit."
"Winner by forfeit, Shikamaru Nara," Hayate called as Shikamaru dropped his Jutsu.
As Sakura pulled herself out of the ground she had an annoyed look, "How the hell did you do that? I was sure my Jutsu would force you to dodge."
Shikamaru gave a lazy grin, "I know. That's why I figured out how to use the shadows like that. It gives my family's style some much needed defense."
"You know Ensui-Sensei is going to bother you till you teach him right?" Sakura asked, instantly turning Shikamaru's grin into a frown. The two glanced up to where Ensui Nara stood behind his team and Sakura smirked at seeing Ensui looking at his young cousin with a thoughtful look.
"This is going to be so troublesome," Shikamaru groaned.
"Alright you two. Get off the arena so the next two can fight," Hayate chuckled as he glanced at the screen. As Shikamaru and Sakura climbed the stairs the name roulette came to a halt, "The eighth fight will be Dosu Kintua of Oto against Juhimaru of Taki."
"Kick his ass Juhi!" Fū yelled as her female teammate shot her mint haired friend a thumbs up before jumping over the rail as her opponent rolled his one visible eye before taking the stairs.
As the two stood before Hayate. Dosu kept his slouched and seemingly relaxed pose while Juhimaru had her two axes in hand and was ready to brawl, an excited grin on her face, "Are you both ready?" Hayate asked.
Dosu nodded, "I'm ready."
"Ready to rumble," Juhimaru replied, "Win or lose. No hard feelings?"
Dosu gave Juhimaru an unreadable look for a moment before nodding, "Agreed," Dosu could hear Zaku and Kin scoff at this, making Dosu frown before he shook his head and focused on the upcoming fight.
"Begin!" Hayate said before leaping back.
"KICK THAT TREE BITCH'S ASS YOU CYCLOPLIT BASTARD!" Zaku yelled getting an eyeroll from Kin despite her sneering smirk.
"Your 'friends' are assholes," Juhimaru deadpanned before leaping back to dodge a swipe from Dosu, his sleeve lifting up revealing a metallic brace. Upon landing Juhimaru stumbled as her inner ears rang, "Huh. Sound based attacks from your brace huh? Clever. However…" Juhimaru grinned before charging in, axes at the ready, "I've flown with Fū and she's crazy in the air. That alone won't beat me!"
Dosu didn't say anything as he rushed forward and met the Taki Kunoichi in a Taijutsu match. The two were relatively even with neither landing a hit on the other for a couple minutes until Dosu managed to use his arm brace to block one of Juhimaru's axes creating an incredibly loud sound making Naruto and Fū flinch. Hinata glanced at Gaara knowing he's also a jinchūriki and was surprised to see that apart from a slight grimace the red haired teen was fine. Dosu smirked and focused the sound onto Juhimaru who instantly lost her confident grin, instead dropping her weapons and clutching her ears.
"No hard feelings," Dosu muttered before slamming his fist into Juhimaru's gut, once more focusing the sound from his brace into his opponent. Juhimaru gasped as she spat out a bit of blood before collapsing to the side.
"Winner by knockout. Dosu Kintua. Medics," Hayate called after checking on the unconscious Kunoichi.
As Juhimaru was carried away with one of the medics tying her axes to his belt, Fū frowned, "Damn. She did well but I just know Juhi is going to be annoyed that due to one small mistake she was in a way the reason for her loss."
Naruto nodded, "At least we know what he can do now… I know a few seals that can block sound and I think they can block what Dosu and Zaku can do but I'm not sure."
"We'll have to find out," Shino stated, "It'll be hard for you two to show what you can do if they can shut you down so easily."
"Wonder why Gaara's not that bothered by it though," Hinata said thoughtfully, "Think he's using his sand to plug his ears?"
"Most likely," Naruto nodded.
"The Ninth fight is Shino Aburame of Konoha vs Totsunyū Satōkibi of Kirigakure."
Naruto and Fū cackled sending shivers down some of Konoha's Jonin while Yūgao simply smiled, "Do your best Shino," Hinata said with a smile and small one armed hug getting a nod from the insect user before he made his way down, his metal bracelet bouncing slightly. His opponent the Kunoichi from Kiri who had already unsealed a spear who's shaft looked like a bronze dragon, the blade of the spear fusing with the dragon's antler like horns. Naruto raised an eyebrow upon seeing the spear.
"What's up Naruto?" Fū asked with her own eyebrow raised in curiosity.
Quietly Naruto said, "I think that spear is of Uzumaki make. If you look closely you can see the spirals around the base of the horns," This even got Yūgao's attention as she, Hinata and Fū looked closely at the spear.
"I think you're right Naruto," Yūgao stated, "Perhaps her family got it during the Uzugakure Invasion."
Nodding Naruto said, "I'll talk to her after her match. Don't want to be accused of cheating by throwing her off her game right before her fight."
Naruto tilted his head in thought, "Hey Tenten. You willing to trade your Chakra Metal spear for something?"
"Depends what it is I'm getting why?" Tenten replied and Naruto simply pointed at Totsunyū's spear. Tenten studied it for a few moments before her eyes widened in shock as she looked at Naruto her mouth opening as if to ask a question but nothing came out.
"If I can convince her… yeah," Naruto nodded, "I'll need to study it for a bit to see what it can do but…"
"I'm in!" Tenten said with a grin before turning back to the fight which had already started but the two combatants were just staring at each other, waiting for the other to make the first move.
"You're rather patient," Totsunyū said, her eyes never leaving Shino as she kept her senses peeled for the sounds of insects either flying through the air or skittering along the ground. She'd heard of the Aburame and didn't want those things crawling all over her.
"Patient is a necessary trait for any good Shinobi." Shino replied coolly. The two continued to stare at each other before a second Shino appeared behind Totsunyū already mid-jump. He spun once before delivering a powerful kick into the Kunoichi's back, sending her stumbling forward. The 'original' Shino dissolved into hundreds if not thousands of small black beetles which quickly swarmed Totsunyū and began draining her Chakra.
"GROSS!" Totsunyū screeched as she tried to brush the insects off with her free hand, before in her panic channeling chakra into her spear. The spears blade began glowing signaling it was made of Chakra Metal however the glow died down as Totsunyū dropped the spear to swat and squish more of Shino's Kikaichu. However more and more of the black insects clung to the Kunoichi while draining her Chakra until the swarm dispereded revealing a barely-concious Genin.
"Winner Shino Aburame," Hayate called as he appeared next to Totsunyū and gave her something that would restore some Chakra, "Now what do you want to do? Rest with your teammate and Sensei or have the medics come get you?"
"I'll… I want to watch the few remaining matches. Soku isn't back yet and I know he'll want a play by play," Totsunyū said with a tired smile as she got to her feet, as Naruto appeared next to the two holding the spear.
"Hey Totsunyū. Where did you get this spear?" He asked as he examined it.
"From my father, why?" The Kiri Kunoichi replied as she glanced at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Because now that I've had a closer look at it I can confirm that this spear is of Uzumaki make," Naruto replied, making her freeze in place as she and many of the visiting Shinobi looked at him in shock even as he held it out, "How about we talk about that after the prelims are over?"
"Yeah… sure," Totsunyū said, somewhat shaken by that revelation as she reclaimed the spear and looked at it with wide eyes now that she knew about its origin. She then turned to Shino, "How did you appear behind me?"
"The one who stood before you was an insect clone. I simply hid under a Genjutsu," Shino explained. Totsunyū gave Shino a grin and respectful nod before the three separated heading back to their balcony.
"The next fight is Neji Hyuga of Konoha against Kin Tsuchi of Oto."
Neji made his way down to the arena without a single word and his face blank while Kin had a large sadistic smirk on her face, "Ready to get your ass handed to you White Eyes?" Neji didn't respond and instead just took his stance making Kin scowl as she withdrew a handful of senbon, "Don't you dare look down on me asshole!"
"Begin!"
"Eat th…" Kin started as she moved to throw however before she was even halfway through the motion Neji appeared before her and slammed a hand into her chest, directly over her heart. Neither of them moved for a moment before Kin fell back, blood leaking form her mouth and eyes blank even as Neji lowered his hand and turned to head back up the stairs.
When Hayate checked on Kin, he frowned before saying, "Kin is dead. Neji Hyuga wins."
"Brutal," Fū said before glancing at Kin's teammates to see what they thought about Kin's death. Dosu had an unreadable expression partly due to only one eye being visible while Zaku looked as if he couldn't care less, "Yeesh they look like they don't even care!"
"Neji doesn't look like he cares he killed either," Tenten noted as she saw that Neji still wore his unreadable expression, "That's concerning…"
"Agreed," Guy said, his eyes narrowed as he looked at his student wondering what had caused Neji to decide to kill his opponent instead of simply disabling her. He knew Neji was growing angry with the situation and seeing Hinata defeating Tenten but he wasn't sure if that was the only reason for that lethal strike.
As the names started spinning for the last time, Lee had his fingers crossed hoping to be in the last fight, "The final round will be between Gaara no Sabaku of Suna and Sekijun Kaigansen of Kirigakure."
"NOOO!" Lee yelled as he fell to his knees over dramatic tears falling from his eyes, "I didn't want to get the free pass! I wanted to earn my place in the finals!"
Sweat dropping at Lee's antics, the Konoha Shinobi and Fū turned back to the arena as Tenten patted her comrades back sympathetically. The fight went by relatively quickly with Gaara using his sand to counter his opponents Earth Jutsu, while he dodged the Water Jutsu before using his Sand Burial technique to catch Sekijun in a ball of sand which then began levitating. Temari and Kankurō were scared for a moment thinking their brother was about to kill the Kiri Genin before he smirked and said, "Sand Whirlpool."
"Sand what?" Sekijun asked before the sand started to rotate like a ball, with the Kiri Genin in the middle. The rotating sand quickly gained speed with Sekijun quickly growing nauseous from being rotated at high speed. It was hard to make out but Sekijun was screaming his surrender. The sand slowed to a halt with Sekiju looking very green and when the sand let him go he didn't bother to move and simply groaned.
After the Medics had come and retrieved Sekijun so he could rest, the remaining Genin stood before the Hokage as he gave a small smile, "You all performed remarkably well for Genin and I expect a good number of you will have a high chance of becoming Chunin. Now Jiraiya will read out the matches for the final round."
Jiraiya stepped forward with a piece of paper and turned it to show the Genin, "It goes as follows. Naruto against Shikamaru, Shino against Rock Lee, Hinata against Neji, Dosu against Tamari, Zaku against Fū and finally Sasuke against Gaara. If you've got any complaints on who you're fighting then tough luck. So you brats better train hard and be ready to give it your all because the Third Round will be before not just the Land of Fire's Daimyo but also nobles from all over the continent."
"Some Anbu will escort you back to Konoha," Tsunade said with a terrifying smirk that was sent at the Oto Genin, "So try not to make too much of an ass out of yourselves. We wouldn't want anything to happen that would disqualify you after all your hard work now would we?"
"I'll get his muzzle," Dosu said with a nod.
"FUCK YOU!" Zaku snarled as he turned to his remaining teammate.
Meny got the feeling that Dosu smirked under his bandages, "Not interested. Your not my type," His nonchalant response made Zaku snarl his hands twitching as if wanting to strangle Dosu.
Author's Notes:
If anyone wonders why the Sensei's were so quiet… It's because of just how many characters I had to keep track of. So I decided not to mention the teachers unless I felt it necessary.
Also if you didn't read my second bonus chapter I've caught up to everything I'd written so updates might not be every week from now on.
