3rd exam over!

The surrounding area was being destroyed quickly due to the puppets' power and speed. Orochimaru could barely keep up with its speed and barely hang on in front of its brute force. The centipede slammed into Orochimaru, sending him flying into the air. 'Damn if only Tsunade was here, she could destroy this in one hit.'

Orochimaru knew there was only one way to win this battle. Orochimaru didn't rely on damaging moves, but rather his speed and stealth. But that's not to say he didn't have a few tricks up his sleeve.

Orochimaru hated to use this jutsu, mainly because of all the chakra it took. Although the jutsu by itself was good, when all three of them came together, it was out of this world. But, that wasn't an option at the moment.

Orochimaru slammed his hand on the floor as his blood fell out of his fingertip. "Summoning jutsu!" A giant snake, or at least giant for a kid, popped out of the ground. The snake was about half the size of the large trees around them.

"Manda, I need you to take care of this puppet. I promise I'll give you enough 'food' as payment."

Manda laughed, "How sad, cannot even take down a mere puppet. Fine, I will accept this request."

Orochimaru nodded and took off towards the client. The puppet master saw Orochimaru run away towards the client and sighed. "I can't beat him by myself, well, hopefully, I got enough points to pass." knowing the puppet couldn't win that battle he immediately returned the puppet to him and took off.

Not far from that area Tsunade was having her battle with her other teammate, Jiraiya. Jiraiya was pretty sure he couldn't beat Tsunade, but that wasn't his job. His only job was to delay her until Orochimaru could end it.

-With Akizi-

She was barely keeping up, she definitely didn't expect this new guy to be so strong. He was even keeping up with Kisame! Akizi sent out 2 chakra arms towards Kisame but they were both absorbed by Samehada.

She was fast, enough so that she could easily blitz any normal genin. But of course, she couldnt be up against normal genin. The insane thing was, Kisame was actually faster than her! Even with the tailed beast buff!

-Kage-

"So that is one of your Jinjuriki. How is she able to use so much of the beasts power? The gold and silver brothers could only do what they did because their chakra mixed with the beasts. Everything in your village is very strange, Yamakage." Said the 3rd Raikage, impressed with the kid's power.

"Why thank you Raikage, It seems your Jinjuriki cannot tap into his great power, a little disappointing I must say."

This made the Raikage angry, but he knew this was no time to get in a fight, especially one he couldn't win.

The other Kage were impressed, but also frightened. There were of course rumors of his strength. But it was said he had never actually tried in battle since Hashirama. Although he was only around 25 he was already far stronger than anyone could imagine.

The other 4 Kage had all secretly made an agreement, if this village got too powerful one day, they would all come together and end it. Almost everything about the village was unknown, and these people were afraid of the unknown.

-Orochimaru-

Orochimaru had sneaked past everyone and was finally nearing close to the client, he would finish it. Orochimaru came face to face with the client and quickly made a strike to his neck. The client, who was a jonin. Quickly grabbed the kunai and disarmed Orochimaru.

"If I were any normal person I would be dead, you have 'assassinated me' good job, the attacking team wins."

-neutral-

A jonin then immediately leaped down after receiving the word and stopped all the fights, because this part of the exam was over no fighting was allowed. "The client has been killed by the attacking team. But defensive team, don't worry, you can still pass. The top 8 of you will pass these exams. Please everyone gather at the entrance."

An hour later the results came.

"After the jonin have talked about it and reviewed the exams, these 8 will move on. Yuuko from the mountain, Orochimaru from the leaf, Kisame from the mountain, Blue B from the cloud, Tsunade from the leaf, Jiriaya from the leaf, Akizi from the mountain, and Omukade from the sand."

The jonin shut his folder, "If I called your name immediately, head to the main arena in the village, you will rest and the final phase of the exam will begin tomorrow."

"Hey, what about me!" called out an arrogant cloud Shinobi.

The jonin scratched his head, "Hmm, I'm sorry, did I call your name?"

"No, but-"

"Oh, well better luck next time." The jonin then walked away, not giving the kid another look. He didn't like kids in general, especially not stuck-up ones.

The passing Shinobi left to rest, they knew they would be fighting the strongest of the strong the next day, there was no way they could compete without rest.

The next day the tournament bracket was shown to everyone, it was as follows.

Tsunade vs Kisame

Jiraiya vs Yuuko

Akizi vs Orochimaru

Oomukade vs Blue B

The fresh genin walked out of their rest area ready for battle, these were the strongest genin in the 5 great nations. The final phase of the first-ever chunin exams were about to begin!

-----------------

Yo, so I got 2 things.

1st, I swear I gave each of the genin one of the 7 swords of the mist, but I have re-read the sensei arc and I can't find it. So if you know please let me know.

Also, I have a challenge for you! I was thinking and, we don't have any headband designs! So, either draw one yourself or find one off the web and upload it

HERE

The one I think is the best I will announce in the next few chapters or days, or whatever. Note: I will give hand-drawn things more 'points' because it was made by them.
