Before start the match the third hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen gave his speech about 'will of fire'.
After the speech finished. The first match begins. Surprisingly It was the match between Uchiha Obito and Might Guy.
The fight didn't take long as Obito was quite clumsy and get owned by Guy. Hoseki also didn't have any problem to fight a boy which was three years older then him. He didn't wasted time and knocked boy off.
As for Kakashi. No need to put word for him.

After the teacher in charge announced the match start. Hoseki immediately made hand sign and summon his shadow clone.
As Hose started his using his clone techniques, attacked Guy lunged to one of Hoseki in front of him and attacked
After realizing he had attacked a clone, Guy don't stop and immediately made a backflip. A kick fall down in front of him and a fist striking his face.
Guy rotate and send kick toward the punch. Both of Hoseki and Guy were split by the force.
After a second they went back into the fight. Both of them ran to collide with each other.

.
"To think both of them hold back in previous round." one of the students said.
"It's all Obito fault he lose so easily last round. And Hoseki win too fast for us to see his skill." A girl said.
"By the way they fight now, both their last opponents would not won either. Look at them." said a boy with senbon in his mouth.
" I don't know about Hoseki. But Guy won't necessarily win against Obito, he is an Uchiha after all." the girl added a point for her stand.
.
.
"Heh, quite rough huh. No wonder they ask for graduation. Well that might not enough thou." a man squatting watching the fight with his chin on top of his palm. Based on his uniform, there is a mark his vest showing he is a Jonin.
(A/N : The series don't show a mark or anything to distinguished between Chunin and Jonin. But they somehow knew which rank when they meet. So I made a decision to put one to distinguished them. This note is not a part of word countđ)
Everyone who close to Guy and Hoseki, including the third hokage, didn't made any comments and just watch silencely. They knew the fight just started.
.
.
Hoseki and Guy fight fiercely. Punch and kicks come and go. They collided many time and back and forth.
Then they suddenly stopped after separated again by the collision.
"Ok ok. Our warming up is done. Lets fight with all for real Guy." Hoseki said with smile.
"Yeah. But before that, Sakumo san" Guy turn to one side of the field. "Can we pls give us permission to lift of them."
The spectators stun with suddenly request in he made. Permission? What permission?
They wondering what Guy asked Sakumo permission for.
" Oi oi Guy. Let's not... "
" Granted " Sakumo voice come down before Hoseki finished.
" Tch, You make this bigger then it should Guy. " Hoseki on squat preparing to take out his weight.
As for Guy, he Immediately take out his weights after getting the permission.
Both of them threw the weights off at the same time and make some sound when the weights landed.
.
.
The event shocked the crowd again as they realized these 5 years old and 7years old boy were fighting with extra weights on. They sure the weights exceed 10kg based on the sound.
"Now that is more interesting." the squatting Jonin said with interests.
.
.
"Yosh let's start !" Guy and Hoseki again toward each other and throw their punches.
The impact when the punches collided is seen by everyone. The crowds saw how their collision affect the surrounding. They create some wave and sent dust flying.
Not to say how fast both of them became. Once again the continued their fight. This time they are faster. The collision impact are louder
