CHAPTER 7

" You ou did great !" I greeted Naruto.

"Thank you." He greeted back.

We watched as the second match started.

Shikamaru vs Shino .

But then Naruto tugged me. And he went towards washroom.

I went behind him.

After we were alone, I activated the privacy seal.

"Why is killer Bee is here ?" Naruto asked me as soon as I activated the seal.

"What do you mean ? He is one of the two escorts of the Raikage. You are busy training. So I didn't have time to tell you. But why does it matter ?" I was confused.

"Invasion will happen. Sure, he was an ally in the anime. But, here he is not."

"I understand your concerns. But don't worry. It might work in our favour. And besides, I have markers not only all inside the village, but also outside our border. I have also marked Hokage's robe and the hat just in case."

"Fine. Many things are different from canon. I just don't want any nasty surprises."

"Let's go back, or Kakashi will spread rumours about us making out in the middle of the exams."

"No, I don't want that." Naruto shivered.

So we went back to watch the match.

We have plans to deal with Gara as quickly as possible. After that I will simply switch Hokage out side the barriers. As per sealing the two Hokages, I plan to use the item that was developed by me and Jiraya. The soul sealer. A simple name, but very effective. That's how Naruto is so calm. And Jiraya has taken account for possible invasion. So he will deal with the Raikage, if he decided to attack us. Thinking about it, we reached at the balcony.

The match between Shino and Shikamaru had already started.

Shikamaru was a mid range fighter. While Shino can operate in both mid and long range.

Simply speaking, Shikamaru was at a disadvantage. But he didn't get down without a fight.

The first surprise was the smoke bombs. But they were black in colour. Shino sent his bugs to attack. But Shikamaru ignited the smoke screen. A lot of fire was produced and Shino lost a majority of his bugs. It was a chance for Shikamaru. Quickly using the light from the fire, he positioned himself in a way that the shadow of Shino extended very close to him.

"Shadow possession jutsu complete ."

It was a solid plan. And he executed it successfully. But too bad, Shikamaru was too lazy to care about the victory. So after drawing the kunai on Shino's neck, he forefitted the fight. Something about being low on chakra.

The audiance booed. But the jonins were chuckling.

"The winner *cough* of the second match ! Aburame Shino !"

"Well ! What did you expect from a Nara ?" Kakashi chuckled.

"That Shikamaru !" Ino fumed.

"He almost won !" Asuma muttered.

I stayed silent. The skills he has shown is enough for a chunin.

After the arena was cleared, the next match was called between Omoi and Yakumo.

Both of the participants went to the arena.

"Wait, is that a painting ?" Sakura asked alloud.

There was a painting in her arms. It was a painting of the arena.

"It will be interesting." I said outloud.

"What do you mean ?" Ino asked.

"The Kurama clan's specialty is genjutsu. But that's not all. There is another power. They can affect the real world with their genjutsu."

"That's overpowered !" Kiba shouted. I saw hinata fidgeting by his side. Probably due to nervousness.

"Yes. But it's not easy. It's very hard to control. That's why Yakumo didn't attend the normal shinobi academy for years. Her genjutsu was too powerful that it affected those who were around her. Only after she gained some control, she joined the genin corps." Kurenai explained.

With the signal from Hayate, the match began. And immediately Omoi fell to the ground. But after a few seconds, he got up screaming kai. Then without delay, he attacked. With his sword covered in lightning chakra, covered his blade.

But he wasn't able to land a blow on Kurama . Despite being faster than her, Omoi didn't get a single shot right. Instead, he got hit by Yakumo's punches a several times.

"What's going on ?" Choji asked.

"She is a genius ! She is manipulating his sight by a layered genjutsu. That's why he can't hit her." I couldn't hide my excitement.

But soon Omoi understood the problem as well.

He broke the genjutsu with a large amount of chakra.

"She is scary good with genjutsu !" Naruto commented.

But then Yakumo used her final card. She took the picture and took out a brush.

Before Omoi could attack her she started drawing while running to the other side of arena.

The sky started to darken. The clouds gathered around. And finally lightning struck in the arena.

I saw Omoi dodging in the last moment.

It was a close call. But when the dust settled, there was a scream of pain.

It was Yakumo.

Omoi had piered her right shoulder . Then he started circulating lightning chakra. That knocked her out. It seemed the lightning genjutsu took a lot out of her. And Omoi chose that exact time to attack.

"*Cough*The winner of the third*cough* match is Omoi from Kumo !"

As Hayate declared the winners, the crowed errupted into cheers.
