Start of The Match

Orochimaru felt someone was watching on him. He looked around and saw a group of three people sitting on the audience seat. He looked at the silver-haired boy who had a wooden sword on his waist. He didn't feel anything from him and shrugged. He thought that this boy was only curious about him.

"What do you think of this exam, Kazekage-sama?" Sarutobi asked.

Orochimaru laughed and said, "Of course, I can't wait for this battle to start, Hokage-sama." He was very excited about this exam since he would be able to take the life of this old man soon.

While Sarutobi and Orochimari were talking to each other, Orochimaru didn't realize that Jiraiya and Tsunade had prepared themselves to stop his plan, though, even if they knew Orochimaru still had confidence to fight against his two ex-team members since his speciality was to run away.

Orochimaru looked at Sarutobi who talked with him without noticing about the thing which happened in this village. It made him laugh somehow, but at the same time, he anticipated this old man's face when he knew that everything had moved according to his plan.

Sarotobi, who talked with Orochimaru, talked freely as if he didn't notice Orochimaru's plan, however, inside his heart, he had planned everything and once everything started, he would bring down Orochimaru by his own hands!

Anko is a fairly tall woman who has a slender frame. She has light brown, pupil-less eyes. Her hair is violet and is styled in a short, spiky, fanned-ponytail. She wore a fitted mesh body suit that covered her from her neck down to her thighs. Over this, she wears a tan overcoat with a purple in-seam and a pocket on each side, a dark orange mini-skirt, a dark blue belt, and pale grey shin guards. In addition to the typical forehead protector, she also wears a small pendant that looks like a snake fang and a wristwatch.

At this moment, Anko was sitting next to Haru, talking to each other about their origins. She came to him because she was a bit interested in him since she had heard that his relationship with Tsunade was very close to each other. However, she was a bit surprised to hear that he along with his group came from the Land of Iron since she thought that they were ninjas. She looked at Haru's waist and asked, "Where's your katana?" In her mind, most of the people in the Land of Iron were samurai so she felt a bit weird when she didn't see a katana on Haru's hand.

"Katana is dangerous, we keep it our belonging in Tsunade's house," Haru answered.

Hearing Haru's answer, Anko became even more curious about their relationship with Tsunade since they seemed pretty close to each other.

"Where is the other guy?" Anko asked since she remembered that there were four people.

"He is on the toilet. His stomach hurts since he eats too much," Kuroneko answered.

Anko twitched her lips and felt a bit disgusted.

"That's right, what's your name?" Haru asked.

"My name is Anko Mitarashi, you can call me, Anko," Anko said.

Haru nodded and said, "You can call me Haru. She is Kuroneko.

"Hello." Kuroneko nodded.

"The guy in the toilet is Gin-san and the old man is Yajima-san," Haru said.

"Hello." Yajima nodded gentlemanly.

"Kuroneko? Is this some kind of code?" Anko asked curiously.

Haru shook his head and said, "No, that's her real name." In truth, he was just too lazy to explain Kuroneko's name.

Kuroneko also nodded since she also felt the same as Haru.

Anko didn't care much and continued to talk with them. She felt happy when she talked with them since they didn't show discrimination against her. She was known as an ex-student of Orochimaru and because of that a lot of ninjas looked at her in a bad light, thinking that she might betray Konoha the same as her ex-teacher.

Anko felt that it had been a while since she felt this feeling and she felt happy, especially when she talked with him.

While they were talking, the first match had started, and it was a fight between Hyuga Neji and Uzumaki Naruto.

Haru was a bit curious about this match since it was one of the legendary matches in the story of Naruto. He knew this would be a match between the genius of the Hyuga Clan and the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tailed Beast, though, he already knew who would be the winner of this match.

---

The match between Enji and Naruto started, and both of them were fighting to each other with an intention to show their own belief.

Neji believed in fate since he had this seal on his head and he knew that his fate had already been decided since he was born.

Naruto thought that fate was crap and he didn't care about it. He would beat the crap of this bastard who hurt Hinata at that time.

Kuroneko looked at the match with amazement. She was the only normal girl in her 3rd year of middle school, but she wasn't a normal girl anymore after she watched the fight between two ninjas.

"They're amazing."

Yajima praised. He didn't expect such small children would be able to show this kind of fight. He only saw their fight on the manga however, the impact was different from when he saw it in reality.

Haru also enjoyed the fight. He looked at Neji with his Byakugan and Naruto with his Shadow Clone Jutsu, though, he had to admit that he envied them a bit because of their power.

"What do you think?" Anko asked Haru.

"They're very strong," Haru nodded.

Anko nodded with a smile of pride and said, "They're the ninjas of our village!"

While Neji and Naruto were having their own battle on the arena, Gintoki also had his own battle in the toilet.

"Ugh... It's hurt."

Holding his stomach, Gintoki was wondering how long suffering would end.
