"Well I just thought that I should see how the exams work," Hunter said. "And I'm impressed with it. But I saw a lot of kids with good skills taken out because their teammates flunk out."

"Sad to hear," Niamh said. "Getting stuck with people who keep messing up is hard. That's why I choose Hinata to be the one to train with Naruto, and that she's clearly in love with him."

"School crushes usually don't work out," Hunter said.

"That's true," Niamh said.

"The two we're fighting against are the best that this village has for us?" Hunter asks.

"Jiraiya and Tsuande are the strongest nins of the Leaf village," Niamh said. "But that shouldn't be much trouble for us to handle."

"Yeah my problem with my powers have gotten fix," Hunter said.

"Just make sure it doesn't go to your head," Niamh said as she got all of her gear on.

"I won't," Hutner said dress in his gear. "Now let's go see if they live up to their titles."

At the stadium –

The kids who pass and the ones who failed the first exam waited as the two teams are getting ready to fight. Everyone were there to see if the two strongest nins of the Leaf could take on the two soldiers from across the sea. Many nobles and Lords were already in the Leaf village as soon as the second exam was over the real reason why they came would start, as Niamh would be taking on all comers to win the right for her services.

"I can't wait to see Niamh and Hunter going at it!" Naruto shouted out.

"I hope that they don't get too hurt," Hinata said as she sits next to him.

"You should be more worried about Jiraiya and Tsuande getting hurt," Maki said.

"I have seen Niamh and Hunter training together and from what I have seen a duo like those two won't be able to beat them," Ran said.

"How come?" Sakura ask. "The Hokage was their teacher."

"Yes but those two are like water and oil," Ran said. "Jiraiya is a pervert that Tsuande can't stand to be around and even if they were teammates they have been away from each other too long to be able to fight as a team."

"And don't forget that they're don't have the gear that Niamh and Hunter have," Meow said.

"At least I'll be able to see them going at it for real," Sasuke said sitting near the group.

"This is going to be a real money maker," Emma said as she looks around at all of the nobles and Lords that are here to watch. "I went and put a lot of money on both Niamh and Hunter."

"It's going to be interesting to see what you two learned," Maki said looking at Hinata and Naruto.

"Don't worry we'll give it our all," Naruto said as Hianta nodded.

"And don't forget about me," Sakura said. "I'm part of this team too."

Elsewhere in the stands –

"Aren't you're glad that we came here early," Professor Perry said to his circus crew. "We'll get to see what's in store for the other fights."

"And see how strong those two soldiers are," Askari said.

"Up against the two Sannins, Tsuande and Jiraiya," Peggy said.

"This is going to be some show!" Pig Josh said as he stuffs his face with smacks with his kids the clowns.

"It will be good to see how strong they are," Atlas Jones said as he always wants to see if someone is at his power level.

"Professor Perry we really should be setting up the tents," Rat said.

"What and miss the show?" Clyde the Blade said.

"We can set them up later," Lightning Larouche said.

"Besides it's nice to see others perform," Narclastese said.

"And see what skills they have," Arcanus said.

"Who are watching the wagons?" Vicky asks.

"Miller and Cooper are watching them," Yami and Aymi said together.

"About time they make themselves useful," Mushizo said.

"Why wait?" Grizzly asks.

"In do time," Professor Perry said. "We just set up the carnival and wait for the right time."

"And make money off of all of the people who came to watch the matches," Asada said.

"Money hungry as always," Moira said.

"As if you're one to talk," Udo said.

"When is this going to start?" Twiggy Phelps asks.

"What do you see?" Mysterio ask Madame Zara.

"It's going to start in a minute or two," she responded.

At the stadium grounds –

"It's been a long time since we fought as a team," Tsuande said to Jiraiya as they step outside to the battlegrounds.

"Yeah it has," he said.

"You think we stand a chance against them?" Tsuande ask.

"Well they did say that for this they wouldn't use their guns," Jiraiya said. "But Niamh still has her superspeed and Hunter is a one man army."

"When I punch him the first time he got here I almost broke my hand when I hit him," Tsuande said.

"And we're not as young as we use to be," Jiraiya said. "Even if you do make it look like you're still young."

"Heard what Hunter did at the exam?" Tsuande ask.

"Yup," he said. "I'm surprise that Ibiki didn't fail all of them then and there."

"Well if he did there wouldn't be any exams and the nobles and lords would be displease with the village and look elsewhere for missions. Then there's also the fact that Hunter was there and he had no idea what Hunter would do if he had failed everyone," Tsuande explained. (1)

"That's true," Jiraiya said.

The other door on the other side of the arena opens revealing Niamh and Hunter all geared up for the fight. Niamh wore the sneaking suit underneath her uniform. She didn't had her gun with her but had a bottle-rocket launcher with her along with her combat knives. Hunter carried a riot shield that he had brought with him and wore bodyarmor on over his uniform. He also carried a battery power stun rod so he wouldn't hurt either Jiraiya or Tsuande with his super strength.

"As we agreed we're not going to use our guns for this fight," Niamh said.

"And we're not going to use our summons," Tsuande said as Niamh found out about the summoning contacts both she and Jiraiya have.

"Time to see what you two are really like in a fight," Hunter said. "Anytime you're ready."

"Good I'll start," Tsuande said as she throws a handful of kunis using her super strength at the two soldiers as Jiraiya spat out some fireballs.

Both Hunter and Niamh stood together as the two attacks came at them. Hunter brought up his shield blocking the two attacks and came charging out of the smoke as Niamh pushes him from behind. He took Tsuande by surprise as she was sure that her kunis would had broken through his shield, he rams into her sending her flying. Jiraiya came at him with a kuni seeing an opening with Hunter's back to him, he didn't get far as Niamh appeared in front of him kicking his weapon from his hand. She gave him a smile as she ducks as Hunters swung his shield like a bat sending the aged pervert flying next to Tsuande.

"We need to separate them," Tsuande said as she picks herself up.

"You take Hunter, I'll take Niamh," Jiraiya said as he jumps back onto his feet and reach down into his pocket for… nothing?

Niamh suddenly appeared behind them holding all of their weapons. "Looking for these?"

Both of them we're board-sided as Hunter slam into them knocking them off of their feet but they regain their footing as they back flipped back on their feet. They darted in and attack him together aiming for his unprotected areas as he uses his shield to block their attacks. Whenever they tried to use a jutsu Niamh would appear and attack them making them dispel the jutsu.

Tsuande punched the shield over and over again trying to break it. "What is this thing made out of?" she shouted as she couldn't break it.

"It's a bullet proof shield," Hunter said as he grabs Jiraiya's incoming fist and throws him.

"Can stand up to bullets," Tsuande said to herself thinking up a plan, and then saw a small crack on the shield where she had punched. "If I keep on punching it will break there's already a crack."

"Only if you can last that long," Hunter said as he gave her his full attention.

"Heads up!" Niamh said as she fires the rocket-bottle launcher at Tsuande.

Tsuande jumps to the side as the rocket flew pass her right for Hunter. She was sure that it would hit him, but Hunter put his shield at an angel so that the rocket hitting his shield slide off and struck Jiraiya as he was running at Hunter's backside. It looks like he was going to get back up but Hunter leap down on him crushing him under his shield.

"Got you now!" Tsuande said as she struck Hunter's back hitting his body system that controls his limbs.

"Nice try!" Hunter said as he spins around almost hitting her head with his fist.

"How?" Tsuande ask as her attack never failed before.

"The vest I'm wearing is bullet proof, which makes pressure point attacks useless on me," Hunter said as he took swings at her. He pulls out the stun rod and hit her arm giving Tsuande a shock to her system.

"Need a lift?" Niamh ask as she runs at Tsuande and used her as a wild shield, slamming her right into the wall of the arena with the force of a truck. Niamh steps back from the crater she made letting Tsuande's body fall.

At the booth where the Hokage sits –

"It's over," the 3rd said as he saw both of his former students taken out.

"This was quicker then expected," the Fire Lord said as he came to the village to watch the matches. "And they're the strongest of the Leaf village."

"The way Niamh and Hunter fought told me all I needed to know of the Two Soul style. The way they fought as one knowing what the other was doing the entire time. Together they'll be hard to beat for anyone," the 3rd explains.

"I'm counting on one of your nins to beat her and get her services for the Land of Fire," the Fire Lord said.

"With Niamh's bloodline and fighting skills she has shown I know that many of the people who want to fight her will begin to doubt their own skills. She and her husband have just taken out the two best nins of the village," the 3rd said.

"If another country or Hidden Village gets her you know what will happen," the Fire Lord said.

"The Land of Fire will be knocked off from the top," the 3rd said.

"At least there is still her three students," the Fire Lord said. "With them the Land of Fire will still have an edge."

"Only one of them has taken Niamh's training to heart," the 3rd said. "Both Sakura and Hinata maybe her students only Naruto has been with her the longest and been trained longer. Sakura is only being trained in an unarmed fighting style and Hianta is just began learning the gun fighting style. From the trainings that I have seen between Naurto and Niamh his skills are beginning to match hers."

"The same one who this village looks down upon," the Fire Lord said surprising the 3rd. "Don't be surprise that I learned about what the 4th Hokage did before he died."

"I see," the 3rd said knowing that the Hidden Villages must follow the wishes of the Lord of the country that they're in as the 1st Hokage agreed when he founded the village.

"The only one that can replace her is that boy," the Fire Lord said. "The question is that can you keep him from leaving once he has enough of his mistreatment of the village."

"I know," the 3rd said wondering if when Niamh leaves the village if she'll ask Naruto to come with her. With everything that the village has done to him and so little kindness in return, what could they do to keep him from leaving?
