#19 Final Round

The next morning, Haru trained a little at the house and saw another team from Kumogakure arriving.

Hello you are from Kumogakure aren't you?

Bee's waiting inside with my team, how was your exam?

It was relatively quiet for us, we had two teams from Suna as opponents, but they were pretty idiots.

By the way, my name is Haru.

How then is this the final goal?

Oh yes it's really nice here, we arrived yesterday You should first bring your eggs to Bee.

You seem to have two of them did you take it from another team or stole it from the bird's nest?

What the balls are eggs and what kind of bird do you mean?

So you weren't in the nest?

No, we were fighting a Amegakureteam for the ball does that mean we didn't have to kill them at all?

I think you could see it that way, but we also had the pleasure of not knowing this. Hello my name is Matabe and these are Lin and Siku.

First of all, is there something to warm up here, we are quite cold, we were in the water cave half the night and the Amegakure troop attacked us there, but because their clothes were wet, we had an easy time with them.

Yes, there is a fireplace in the house, my team and I had the same problem.

We'll go to Bee and listen to his rhymes and warm up.

Another 10 hours passed and 2 teams arrived together. it was a team from kirigakure and surprisingly a team that Haru already knew it was one of the teams from sunagakure.

Oh you guys are here too i guess you found the nest.

Hoseki there he is let's finish him, Bee stood between the three and Haru and said no fights are allowed here, I advise you not to break it my dear.

Tsk, we'll take revenge on you later, our brothers didn't die in vain, we'll finish you off.

That's the beat, I can feel your fire and your heat.

So Haru that's the idiot team from Sunagakure you mentioned Matabe asked.

That's exactly what they are Haru started to laugh.

Just wait not Hoseki, we'll get him, calm down.

You are right Marashi we will flatten him in the next test.

Well, everything would be clarified now, only the second team from Kumogakure is missing, maybe they milk a cow.

No, they don't come anymore, one of the Kiri Nins said, we defeated them and took their ball, but let them live, even if they weren't in the best condition, the little ones' tits tasted so good, you have really beautiful women here.

Bee got angry and knocked the Kiri Nin unconscious with a punch in the stomach.

Today I'll spare you, but if you'll ever get again in my way, then i'll paint the walls with your blood, okay?

Bee left him and said everyone is there now it's time for the next round.

I'll take you right back to Kumo, which will be your new fighting ground.

The next round will then take place in a week, its for the people who want to see you bleed.

It's going to be a big tournament, the people there like to reek your bloody scent.

Now everyone pulls a stick out of my hand, the one with the same color as yours becomes your opponent.

Everyone drew a stick and Haru drew a purple one he became the opponent from Lin from Kumogakure who drew the same color.

Rei drew a red one and had to face one of the Kiri ninjas named Laroke and Sagitha had to face the dope Marashi from Suna. After everyone drew a stick they were brought back by Bee and arrived in Kumogakure at night.

Bee said when he arrived that the other squad from kumo has to be found to another ninja and then handed the three back to Hazu and Froishi and said goodbye.

And how was it you three, was it difficult? The three looked at him and said.

Sensei it was very entertaining especially the idiots from Sunagakure.

Haru then said my sweet Saha has to compete against one of them in the next round, so we have something to laugh about again.

So did you all have fun?

Yes, only that our clothes got wet was a little annoying, it was pretty cold in the cave.

So you had to swim through a water cave?

Sensei, we'll tell you the whole story in our quarters, but first let's go eat something.

A week flew by.

Before the tournament started, Hiruzen checked on Hazu's team again and wished them the best of luck.

He came over yesterday and told Haru to lay it on extra thick so that the daimyo's from other countries book more missions in Konoha and that it was a great opportunity for Konoha to win to let their Will of Fire burn.

Haru laughed and said I understand Hokage it's about more income for Konoha.

If you want to put it that way then yes.

I will do my best to entertain everyone. Did the other kage come as well, i.e. Rasa and Yagura?

Yes, I think the two also arrived yesterday, why do you ask?

I'm just asking out of curiosity or maybe for other reasons, we'll see.

Ok but don't offer anything that could jeopardize our relationships.

Hokage I would never do something like that you have so little trust in me my Lord Hokage.

It's good don't need to cry right away Haru if you do well you'll be made a Jonin by me what do you think of that?

It's because I think you're strong enough for it, actually I can't tell you how strong you are with all your skills.

And now you also increase my rank by several levels so that I can take over your position soon?

No Haru I would never do something like that, how do you come up with something like that?

Yes, how do I come up with this idea?

So i will do my best to impress everyone you can totally leave it to me and my team.

Half an hour passed and the tournament started.

The first fight was about to start and the Kage and Daimyos had all gathered.

They were on a separate grandstand around the arena, there were thousands of people who wanted to experience the spectacle live and place their bets on the opponents.

The first fight was supposed to be between Shikaharu Nara and Lin Otobe. The two entered the arena and the referee Matshu Hatshi gave the go-ahead.

Haru looked closely at his opponent and lay down on the floor and says Ura, do it alone, I'm relaxing during this.

Haru reached into his pocket and pulled out a book.

The title of the book was Icha Icha Paradise Takutikusu premium edition.

Hiruzen and you said he is the pride of Konoha a genius without equal said Raikage A?

Hiruzen blushed and tried not to embarrass himself.

Yes, you three will see that he is more than meets the eye.

Well, I don't know, he doesn't seem like a strong fighter to me, said Rasa the Kazekage.

I agree with the others said Yondaime Mizukage Yagura, Konoha is apparently near the end because Hiruzen is too old to see any potential.

Hiruzen got up because he was too embarrassed and called down into the arena.

Haru finally kicks her butt, show her no mercy.

Haru looked at the grandstand of the Kage and slowly put the book away and stood up.

But Hokage Sama women shouldn't be beaten, he shouted at Hiruzen.

Just do it you can, I trust in you Shikaharu.

Haru started laughing.

Lin Otobe had overheard everything and got angry and shouted hey you little boy did you just say women shouldn't fight men because we were too weak?

Now look what we women can do dog, dragon, rat, sheep, lightning hideout Raiton spider web.

A gigantic web of electric threads laid across the floor, then she made the finger signs for bird, ox, boar, horse, thunder chasing Raiton.

A bolt of lightning leapt across the electrical grid and flew straight at Haru. Haru jumped to the side, but the lightning followed him and hit him in the back. Boom, there was a big explosion that kicked up a lot of dust.

So that's the pride of Konoha, the fight didn't even last a minute, said A.

But then suddenly a shadow shot out of the dust in the shape of a werewolf and ran straight towards Lin, the shadow was hit by the electrical lightning network, but the net couldn't stop him he just ran through it like it was a walk in the park. Lin released her jutsu and wanted to run, but the shadow werewolf was so fast that he was standing in front of her in a few seconds and struck out.

Lin was hit by the blow and flew in a straight line against the walls of the arena, hitting it with so much force that the marble walls of the arena shattered, creating a small crater.

Lin then slowly fell out of the crater onto the arena floor.

The entire arena was silent and saw the 12 foot tall shadow werewolf slowly dissipating and the silhouette of a 7 year old boy appearing and the boy said. I'm really sorry that I hit you, but unfortunately my Hokage demanded it.

The Kage couldn't believe their eyes and asked Hiruzen what was that Jutsu, what was this giant wolf and why could he just walk through their defens?

Hiruzen got a smile, well I said yes, he's the future of Konoha, we haven't had that much potential with anyone else.

And as for the Jutsu, try to find out for yourself.

He'll definitely have a few more fights in this arena, you might find out, you might not.

The arena spectators were shocked and needed a moment to process what they saw, but then the first spectator started clapping and many others did the same. The referee still hadn't announced a winner and Haru looked at him.

Oh yeah right the winner is Shikaharu Nara.

Haru bowed and then saluted and shouted Hail Hokage, Hail Konoha, which made him appear disciplined and then left the arena.

People all over the arena suddenly wanted to place new bets and were putting large amounts of money on Shikaharu to win the tournament.

Next up was Sagitha with her fight, but she didn't really have a problem against Marashi he gave a long speech what happened after the suspension bridge was cut by me, they climbed down the gorge their fourth man saw his dead comrades, they followed us saw the nests of the bird.

The guy without colleagues sacrificed himself so the three could get the eggs and told them to avenge him and his comrades blah blah.

In any case, he pulled out his puppet and attempted a surprise attack with poison needles, but Sagitha dodged and charred him and his puppet with a giant fireball Jutsu.

That was already the end of their fight. Rasa was visibly embarrassed that his Genin had absolutely no chance and was lying in the arena with severe burns, after he had talked so much about revenge. The other Kage found the whole thing very amusing.

Next up was Rei against Laroke from Kiri, but he didn't have it as easy as Sagitha. His opponent was a ranged fighter and tried to keep his distance between himself and Rei, but Rei was physically better and gradually caught up with his opponent and when he caught up with him he knocked him out with just 3 juken punches.

The other fights also passed slowly.

Haru didn't look at them.

Matabe from Kumo, Hanz from Suna and Karu from Kiri remained.

Haru then had to face off against Matabe. Haru entered the arena and bowed to Matabe who returned the bow and said So we meet again.

You pretty much screwed Lin up in the preliminary round I won't make it easy for you, I have no idea what kind of Jutsu you used against her, but I'll find out.

Let's have a fair fight.

I'm happy to say the same thing, Haru said, I see you're a Kenjutsu fighter, then I'll fight with my sword too.

Haru stretched out his hand and a shadow sword slowly formed in his hand. The referee opened the fight and both rants towards each other and Matabe sheathed his sword with lightning the swords met, but Haru's blade slowly cut through Matabe's so Matabe jumped back to avoid destroying his sword.

Haru's sword then expanded in a wave pattern and stabbed Matabe in the shoulder.

He bled profusely and just couldn't understand Haru's ability and because he saw that he didn't have a chance,he then gave up and bowed to Haru and said here in Kumo only strength counts and you are the strongest I have ever faced, thank you for the fight.

Haru was a bit surprised by his opponent, but then bowed to him as well.

And the arena cheered.

But in the Kage Stand another wind could be heard.

Hiruzen what did you breed in Konoha first a giant wolf and now a stretching sword cutting a Raiton sword?

What is this technique, is it a new Kekkei Genkai he's using, but it doesn't seem like he's using Chakra or using any finger signs said A.

Bee what do you say to that or rather your partner.

Bee replied my partner says, he has no clue and has never seen anything like it in his days.

He says the whole thing has something of a Bijuu.

But he can't communicate with it to see if it's true.

Master, Bee's Bijuu tried to communicate with me but I repelled him.

You did well Ura now let's wait for the final round.

Rei and Sagitha then also won their fights and so all three were in the final.

When they faced Haru, Rei said Saha let's fight him together.

I'm sorry, I don't think that would change anything about the result.

Sagitha raised her hand and gave up. Seeing this, Rei felt compelled to give up as well and raised his hand.

The referee then declared Haru the winner of the tournament and asked him if he would like to comment on his victory, and Haru accepted the offer.

Hello my name is Shikaharu Nara and it was my great pleasure to offer you all a little entertainment today, but I ask the little boy in the Kage Grandstand to go home his mom has to count her children and her little bunny is up there already too long outside to play with adults.

The Kage all got big eyes and then started to laugh and Yagura Karatachi got angry and yelled what a little kid dares to say? You see, the little one just can't listen to his mother and has a big mouth so as not to stand there stupidly in front of the other Kage, so I recommend him not to let his mom wait, because she then said I should hit him on his little bottom.

Yagura had enough and jumped down into the arena.

Haru, why are you doing this, you're crazy, I told you not to cause any problems, Hiruzen screamed.

And Haru replied it's no problem kicking a little boy's butt.

Yagura had had enough and transformed into his full bijuu form and attacked Haru. Haru transformed into the cloaked shadow and morphed into a gigantic three-headed Cerberus.

The cerberus was 8 m and had two Sharingan eyes in two of its heads and the middle head had Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan.

The Cerberus then bit in the direction of Yagura, but Yagura was able to dodge and fired a Sangoshou at the Cerberus, which simply freed itself from the coral and ran towards Yagura again.

Yagura saw no way to win and turned into the Sanbi, but that's exactly what Shikaharu wanted to achieve.

The Cerberus then inserted Isobu into one of his tails before Isobu reached full size and Ura extracted Isobu's Chakra into his main body and the Cerberus grew while Isobu got smaller and smaller until Isobu was only three meters tall and the Cerberus then released him and was around 70 m grew up.

Haru resolved the form and told Ura to pick up Yagura's Genjutsu with Shisui's Kotoametsukami.

Ura confronted Isobu as Haru's shadow and activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, causing Isobu to transform back into Yagura.

Yagura looked around not knowing where he was or how he got here and saw a little boy in front of him and asked him why he was here.

So you may have been under a strong Genjutsu for years and I just got you out of it.

So the last thing I remember was a man in an orange mask walked into my office and he had a Sharingan and he looked me in the eye with it and then I don't remember.

It's okay, the main thing is that you're free again, I think you'll still have enough to make up for in your country.

You have hunted and exterminated entire clans in your country under the influence of the Jutsu.

What are you saying, I did something like that, I will never forgive this guy, but why didn't someone free me from this jutsu much earlier?

I don't think they realized you were trapped in a Genjutsu.

You were just next to three Kage and another Jinchuuriki and no one noticed. By the way, you can tell Isobu I'm sorry I absorbed so much of his Chakra.

I didn't see any other way to solve the Jutsu more easily without harming the audience.

My name is Haru by the way, and this was the Chunin Exam in Kumogakure.

So are we in Kumo?

At that moment, the other Kage jumped down, demanding an explanation from Shikaharu.

Yagura was under a strong Genjutsu I got him out of it.

He says he was put into this Jutsu by a man in an orange mask who had a sharingan.

I felt the Genjutsu, why didn't any of you notice it?

The Kage looked at the ground and waved the subject off in embarrassment.

A then asked and what is that Jutsu you used to take down Yagura so easily.

Oh you don't know that it's my Onmyoton and his name is Ura, he's a being i got after my Chakra Channels were opened when i was 4 and ever since he's been getting stronger the fight just made him get stronger too, cause he absorbed so much from Isobu's Chakra so I could detach the Jutsu from him.

I'm sorry if I came across as rude, but I didn't see any other option.

Hiruzen, so you have a new kind of Bijuu in your village said A and looked at Haru. And you, how dare you to do something so risky in my village.

Yagura then stood protectively in front of Shikaharu and said the boy freed me from the Jutsu, I will compensate you for the damage and thank you Haru that you freed me from the Jutsu.

I will return the favor to Konoha and you promised.

Haru's team also came downstairs and asked the Hokage if Haru would be punished for what he did, but Hiruzen smiled and of course said nothing.

Haru did Konoha a great service today you three, how could I punish him for that. He just deserves it all the more that I give him the Rank of Jonin?

Hiruzen then looked at Haru hopefully and Haru nodded suspiciously.

Then everyone said goodbye to each other and Haru made his way back to Konoha with his team.
