Yari

"Fūton: Senpūken!"

Minato roared as he sped towards Jun, ready to give it his all.

"Good...!" Feeling a little threatened by that attack, Jun's blood boiled as he quickly gathered chakra in his right palm.

A cacophony of chirps resounded across the battlefield as purple lightning enveloped his hand, threatening to destroy everything in its path.

"I'm going all out!" Using almost all of the chakra at his disposal, Jun watched as the electricity grew in size, becoming so loud it hurt his ears.

"Yari!" Stabbing his hand into Minato's Jutsu, A loud crackling noise resounded across the arena as they pushed each other.

"I'm not going to lose!" Also drawing all of his chakra out, Minato's technique produced gales that kicked up dust around them.

"Just how I like it!" With a crazed expression, Jun flexed his arm and pushed so hard his feet were digging into the ground. "Come on!!!"

Smiling viciously, Jun formed a dragon seal with his left hand and retrieved his Yin chakra, infusing the lightning with Yang instead.

The purple was quickly usurped by a furious crimson color, blinding every onlooker.

"Shokei!" [1]

With a sadistic expression, Jun pushed Minato back. His electricity drowned out the wind, causing Minato to feel numbness in his arms.

"Ngh...!" He was too strong! Minato was quickly pushed back until his jutsu was wholly eaten up by the lightning.

Not wanting to kill his friend, Jun quickly canceled the technique, stopping it just before it reached Minato's neck.

Smiling, Jun grabbed Minato by the collar and watched as his consciousness slowly faded.

"You're way... Too strong..." Closing his eyes, Minato ran out of energy. He had given it his all, but alas, it wasn't enough.

"I haven't felt this good in a while. Thank you, Minato." Smiling, Jun sighed and deactivated his Sharingan. His hand was full of burns because of Shokei. 'Oh, how unpredictable fate can be... One moment I'm fighting his son, and the other I become his teammate...'

"Jun Uchiha is the champion!" Seeing Minato fall unconscious, Shigeo didn't need to confirm his status. From Jun's eyes, he already knew who won.

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

"Congratulations to all of you who have participated in this exam!" Standing in front of several Jonin, Hiruzen smiled confidently. In front of him were the contestants who were still able to stand.

Jun, Minato, Nozomi, Hiashi, and Fuguki all stood in a straight horizontal line, some happier than others.

Although Nozomi hadn't made it to the final, she was happy with her result. After all, she had proven to the entire village that the branch house was not to be underestimated. Grinning from ear to hear, she stood proudly among the other four.

Although he was disappointed, Minato felt like he had given it his all, so it wasn't too bad. At least he'd gained valuable experience, and was determined to win next time.

Hiashi didn't know how to feel. He knew his father was watching, which made him shiver at the thought of going back home later that evening. He had lost too much face for the main house.

Fuguki stood silently, his eyes wandering in empty space. He was thinking about how he'd lost and was reevaluating himself.

As for Jun, he had his arms crossed, unbothered by the whole situation. He never doubted that he would become champion, so it was the last thing on his mind.

Instead, he kept his eyes on one man. Danzo Shimura.

Meeting his gaze, the one-eyed man stared right back at him, a cheeky smile plastered on his face. 'Just you wait... I'll get rid of you and your entire clan, brat...!'

[1] For those that don't remember, Yari is the purple 'spear' of the thunder god, Raijin, while Shokei is his 'execution' or 'death sentence'.
