Chunin Exam-3

After a lot of panic, the second stage of Chunin Exam finally started.

Instead of Forest of Death, we were going to have a tournament with each match having a time limit of 30 minutes. If nobody wins in 30 minutes, they both will be eliminated.

And to go to the third round, all the teammates must win.

This way, many teams are going to be eliminated. And it will ensure that teams which rely on the strong members don't pass the round.

So... onto the first round!

"Sakura Haruno vs Gaara no Subaku!"

I felt speechless by the selection. I am under no impression that this is random selection.

Does Hokage want to remove the Jinchuriki from the village as soon as possible? So be it.

(AN: He wants to remove you.)

I confidently went to the ground.

"Beat him up Sakura-chan! Dattebayo!"

"Hn."

I gave them a thumbs up and a smile. Sadly, Kakashi-sensei and Gai-sensei were not nearby.

The Panda-boy came to the ground with his sand, with his murderous gaze.

"Match start!"

We kept staring at each other, and I noticed how he was ever-so subtly bringing his sand near me.

"Mother wants your blood!"

I noticed a bird flying, and dropping something white on me. I dodged.

"Mother says your blood will be tasty!"

In revenge, I threw a senbon at the bird. It died and landed on the ground. So it was a pigeon.

"Mother-"

"Okay that's enough."

As soon as I said that, he was buried in the ground, with about 10 explosive tags pasted on his head.

My shadow clones have transformed into sand particles and executed the task. How he didn't notice them means that he is not a sensor who can differentiate different kinds of Nature Energy.

I had thought about using this on Orochimaru, but I am sure he would have noticed my clones made of Nature Energy. He would have gotten curious and given me a cursed hickey.

But I doubt he can sense with this much distance. Even right now, he is innocently standing as a teacher. How the hell does nobody senses his large chakra pool which is even larger than Hokage!?

I sighed and looked towards the boy.

"Surrender or I will blow up the explosives on your head."

He struggled to use his sand, but he could do nothing. I have blocked his tenkutsus as well. When you have such good chakra control, you can do the wonders that Hyuga do.

"Never! Mother wants your blood!"

"Panda-kid, I am going to count three. Surrender and you will not get your head exploded."

"One"

"Two"

Before the refree can call this match in favour to save the kid, something happened.

With a burst of chakra, One Tail happened.

Crowd got panicked, shinobis got panicked, Hokage got panicked, I got panicked.

Seriously!? Why the hell did they allow an unstable Jinchuriki in another village!?

Do they have peanuts for their brains!

But I can fight it! You don't get to fight a bijuu everyday!

"Hey refree! Don't call off the match! I can take it on!"

I shouted. Whether he heard or not, I ran towards it for a fight.

"Water Arrow!"

I spitted a long and sharp arrow from my mouth, and it stabbed Shukaku straight to the eye.

"Uggh!"

With a cry, he launched a ridiculously powerful wind attack on me. I stood my ground by strengthening myself with chakra.

"Boom!"

As soon as I said the magical words, explosions went off inside Shukaku.

My nature shadow clones do a great work in sneaking explosives without getting detected!

Shukaku's sand form got scattered and then I could see the Panda-boy's sleeping face with explosives sticking on his face.

I ran excitedly towards him, and when I closed in,

"POWER PUNCH!"

With my power punch, his self-conscious protective sand, his sand armour, nothing stood in my way, and he got embedded in the wall like a decoration. He woke up from the pain, and Shukaku got back in him.

He looked at me with dead eyes.

"I will kill you."

I smiled innocently at him.

"Yeah yeah. I can kill you with a snap of my fingers with the explosives around your head, you know?"

He shuddered.

"Good. Now Panda-kid, if you want to live, you have to complete some tasks for me. First of all, the voice in your head is not your mommy. It's the bijuu Shikaku. After three years, I want you to be a stable Kazekage and allow me some favours. Deal?"

He didn't say anything, just kept shivering.

"Look, I can totally kill you right now without any consequences. Heck! I will be even called a hero for that. But that doesn't benefit me. So, how about we become friends?"

He hastily nodded. I shaked his hands with a smile blooming on my face. He isn't speaking much and is just shuddering for a while now.

Oh. I still haven't removed the explosives from his head afterall. I carefully removed the explosives from him, and stored them in my storage tattoo. It is my best creation till now.

Panda-kid was still shuddering though. So I even healed him.

As I was confused for his shuddering, I suddenly blacked out.
