After a long hard fought battle, Luna emerged as the ultimate winner.

It wasn't because Hinata was weak, but because of Luna’s chakra negate attack and her scythe moves that made Hinata lose this match.

The scythe techniques are long, and therefore it didn't let Hinata get close to Luna at all.

The Hyuuga’s techniques are fists and kicks, so Hinata needed to get very close to Luna.

Luna has spent more than a month living at the Hyuuga palace, so she had a good grasp of their strengths and weaknesses.

Hinata tried everything she could in her hand to get close to Luna, but lost tragically.

If it were anybody else, then Hinata would have emerged as victorious.

Even though Hinata lost, she still made the Hyuuga clan very proud of her. They were truly regretting that they didn't see her talent until now.

And even if Hinata lost, she can still be promoted to Chunin. Kinda like Shikamaru, even though he lost against Temari in the anime, he was still promoted.

Hiashi, Hina, and even Hanabi were all cheering for Hinata, looks like she didn't let this month go to waste.

I healed both of them as they came to the sidelines. And now, it was Kat’s time and Sakura’s time to fight.

Tsunade saw my healing skills, and thought they were just basic healing techniques, so she wasn’t that impressed.

And I also did my job, and gave the people who won the money they betted.

Those who were ignorant that didn't know about Tsunade’s reputation, were all gloomy.

Even Naruto was feeling gloomy, he just lost all of his savings in a second. Too bad for him, this is what gambling does to you.

I don't need to bet, since I can create mountains of money with my chakra alone.

Both Sakura and Kat went down the stage. When both were nearly a few meters away from each other, they took a fighting stance.

“Who do you think is gonna win.” (Chris) I said to Tsunade.

I personally never really liked Tsunade in the anime, but it doesn't hurt to have some connections with her.

“Hmmm! I will bet another 100,000 Ryo on the pink haired ninja.” (Tsunade) even though she had just lost 100,000 Ryo, she still had enough to bet another 100,000.

People who were nearby had their ears perked. When they heard that Tsunade betted on Sakura to win, they immediately changed their bets to Kat.

Naruto wanted to bet, but he was dead broke. It sucks to be poor.

“Start…” (Anko) said with no emotion whatsoever. These two aren't from a prestigious clan, or were even well known, so this fight didn't have as much attention as the last one.

Then Sakura and Kat charged at each other and clashed, it was gonna be an interesting fight.

At this moment, a ninja with a headband from Suna, whispered something to the Kazekage's right ear.

Without saying a word, the Kazekage stood up and followed the ninja.

“Hm! Wouldn't it be rude to walk away from the middle of a fight, Kazekage?” (Hokage) said.

“I've gotta use the bathroom. I'll be right back.” (Kazekage)

The Hokage frowned. Does he think he was stupid? Clearly the ninja just told you something important, and shortly after that, you follow him. It's clear that you don't need to use the bathroom at all.

It must be from Orochimaru or something, it's too coincidental.

if he were to attack the Kazekage now, without any evidence that Suna was working under Orochimaru, then he really might start another unwanted war. It's better if he sticks to his own plan.

On a dark hallway, the Kazekage stood near the side of a wall, he was waiting for somebody.

“What do you need?” (Kazekage) said to Kabuto.

Then a person came out of the shadows, it is indeed Kabuto.

“Lord Orochimaru says to not attack yet, he wants to see what Sasuke, Luna, Chris and Naruto are capable of.” (Kabuto) said with that terrifying grin on his face.

The Kazekage was confused. The plan was to attack the leaf village during the Chunin exam, not after.

“Hmm. You know that I hate it when there is a last minute change to our plans.” (Kazekage)

“I know, and we don't care. Just wait until after the exam is finished, and we shall begin the destruction of the leaf village.” (Kabuto)

Orochimaru just wanted to see what these four young talented genins are made of.

Chris is the only genin to ever exist, to have beaten Orochimaru like it was nothing.

Sasuke and Luna are very weak right now, and they are the perfect subjects for Orochimaru to possess their eyes. Itachi is just too strong, even for Orochimaru.

Naruto is the host of the nine tails, and he wants to see just how strong Kurama truly is. And if it's stuck inside Naruto, then he could possibly study it by dissecting him.

The Kazekage left with an angry expression. If it weren't because today is the day that their plan is gonna begin, then he might just have retaliated at this moment.

“WHAT!?” (Bystander 1) someone exclaimed in shock.

Just when the Kazekage made his way to his seat, a lot of people exclaimed in shock.

The Kazekage was curious to see what happened.

When he ran to see what was happening, an expression of shock could be seen on his eyes.

Kat, was using her wood style Kekkei Genkai in public.

Kat didn't use her secret technique to show off, but to fight Sakura.

Sakura is just too strong without using her Kekkei Genkai. She would just pick up a huge boulder from the ground, and launch it towards Kat at a frightening speed.

It's terrifying just how much strength Sakura wielded.

Then she used her wood style at the last moment. She didn't use it because she wanted to win at all costs, but because she wanted the fight to last longer.

It's not everyday that she has a great fight like this.

And besides, there was a huge chance that today her identity would have been exposed, so why not now?

And yes, Chris told his students except Naruto and Sasuke, about a possible ambush on the leaf village

This was a good motivator for them to train hard for the entire month, of course they also swore to keep it a secret.

Nobody questioned how Chris knew this type of information, but they trusted him completely.

Tsunade was clenching her fists so hard, that her nails dig through her skin and they were bleeding.

A girl who specializes in strength like her, and another girl who is from the Senju clan like her, how can she not be happy.

She thought that she was the last remaining of the Senju clan, and yet another one appeared who can actually use the long lost wood style Kekkei Genkai.

“I must take them as my students.” (Tsunade) said to herself.

Even though it was only a whisper, I could hear her clearly. I frowned upon hearing this. If Kat and/or Sakura do decide to be students of Tsunade, then they are more than welcome to.

But if they decide to stay with me, then that's good too. I have blue screen with me, and with him by my side, I can give them powerful jutsus to learn.

What else am I good for… (-_-)

Exactly!

Of course, Naruto has some very good hearing and he heard what Tsunade just said.

“You can't take them as your students! They already have a sensei.” (Naruto)

Oh damn!

“Naruto, don-” (Chris) As I was about to tell Naruto to keep his mouth shut, Akamaru came out of nowhere and jumped in front of me. He was now licking my face.

“Akamaru! Get off.” (Chris) I said, but Akamaru didn’t listen to me and kept licking my face.

“Woof woof!” (Akamaru)

“Oh really, then who is it, Naruto?” (Tsunade) said. She already knew Naruto beforehand, so she looked at him like a good friend.

I tried to stop Naruto, but Akamaru wouldn’t get off me.

“It’s him.” (Naruto) pointed at me while he had a proud look on his face.

Naruto didn’t want to Chris trouble, he sincerely thought that he was helping Chris, which he’s not.

“Oh! Hmm!” (Tsunade) had a bit of a surprised reaction, how can a kid who's basically the same age as those two talented girls, be their sensei?

But contrary to my expectations, she didn’t say anything and continued to look at the fight.

‘What? I thought she was gonna say something…? I don’t like this silence, PLEASE SAY SOMETHING!’ Chris thought.

Luna saw my troubled expression, then took away Akamaru from my hands, and began playing with him.

I knew that Naruto was just trying to help me, but he doesn’t need to stick his neck out every single time.

I didn’t pay anymore attention to it, and began looking at the fight.

Everybody had a seriously shocked expression on their faces. It’s been so long since somebody has used this Kekkei Genkai, and one appeared before them. This was indeed a fight that they couldn’t miss at all.

Sakura was dangling in the air, with thick wooden vines restricting her limbs. Sakura was dead tired, and so was Kat. This was a hard fought battle.

“I give up.” (Sakura) Said helplessly. Kat was just too strong for her.

Of course Kat it strong, it’s the same Kekkei Genkai that can restrict even the nine-tails. Not to mention a girl.

“The winner is Kat… Of the Senju clan.” (Anko) said with a bit of respect for both of them. Until today, the name of Kat Nim will be changed to Kat Nim Senju.

Everybody cheered for the victor, is was indeed one of the best fights of the century.

Kat and Sakura came to my side, and I healed them. It’s best if they were fully healed before the ambush starts.

Tsunade paid extra attention to my healing abilities, and she was kinda shocked. If she were to heal Sakura’s and Kat’s injuries, it will at most take half an hour for her to fully heal their injuries.

This showed her that I indeed have some skills in healing, but she still wasn’t impressed. Looks like she doesn’t know yet that I healed Hina Hyuuga from her disease, and that I possess a number of Kekkei Genkais.

Tsunade wanted to ask both girls if they were willing to train under her, but she didn’t. She wanted to see what I have taught Kat when she fights in the next round.

And if she sees a flaw in their moves, then she will correct them and maybe they will be willing to change senseis.

The next fight was Gaara vs Sasuke, but Sasuke still had yet to show up. It’s just like in the anime.

Most people were protesting that Sasuke should fight, and that they shouldn’t kick him at all, just like in the anime.

Seeing this, Anko looked at the Hokage. The Hokage seemed to know what Anko was thinking, and he gave her a light nod.

“Hm! This duck butt (Sasuke) has yet to show up, we’ll be moving to the next fight. Lover boy (Chris) vs… I forgot his name, ah whatever, Bug guy! (Shino)” (Anko) said.

I went down the stadium and so did Shino.

“Start!” (Anko)

Shino was from the same team as Kiba, I do wonder if he is gonna avenge his friend.

“Are you gonna avenge Kiba?“ (Chris)

Shino shook his head lightly.

“No. I have seen him harass too many girls, and I was fed up with it, I am even grateful that you put him in his place.” (Shino)

“He deserved it for hitting on my girlfriend and my student.” (Chris) I said without a hint of emotion for Kiba.

Shino just shrugged then a swarm of bugs starting coming out of his clothes.

‘Ew! I hate bugs. But I had a plan to take them on.’ I thought.

Shino seemed like he prepared more than enough for this round, because a whole swarm of bugs appeared, there were so many that it could cover the whole stadium.

“Attack.” (Shino) gave a simple command to his swarm of bugs.

Then the whole swarm of bugs surrounded my whole field of vision, then my whole body was covered in bugs.

“Looks like he isn’t a strong as I thought.” (Tsunade) said, then turned to see the kids beside her.

Surprisingly, they didn’t have a single expression on their faces. Isn’t Chris your friend and sensei? Why aren’t you worried about him?

While everybody else had a horrified expression, but only these kids and the Hyuuga members expressions remained unfazed.

Shino then realized something was wrong, right now Chris should be screaming in pain, but not even his bugs have even landed an attack on Chris.

What’s weird is that chris hasn’t even moved an inch?

Shino tried calling his bugs back, but they didn’t listen to them! Why?

“Okay, get off of me.” (Chris) I said underneath all of the huge swarm of bugs. Then the bugs did what I commanded, and they got off of me.

Shino was commanding his bugs to do something, but they ignored him as if he has nothing but wind.

“Okay? I want all of you to take Shino back to his home.” (Chris) And just like before, they did what I commanded.

The army of flying bugs surrounded Shino without hurting him, and they carried him off the stage and to his house.

“What?! Let me go of me.” (Shino) tried to get off his army of bugs, but they didn’t listen.

Several people were a bit confused. Was Chris the one from the Aburame clan, or was Shino?

Several of the Aburame clan also had a weird expression on their faces. This is the first time that something like this has happened.

If you want to know how this happened, it’s just like the time when I used charm on Akamaru, and that bird back on Tori no Kuni. (Forgot his name)

I didn't really know if my charm works on bugs, and it did. And once they were under my charm, they will listen to my every command.

“By default, the win goes to lover boy.” (Anko) said. Since Shino wasn’t gonna be back for a while, then the win has to go to Chris. Who would have ever thought he would win like that?

I could have fed all of those bugs to Planty, but I could tell that he despises them, he prefers the taste of humans over the taste of bugs.

Although this was not the most interesting fight, it was the weirdest one. An Aburame getting defeated by his own bugs, the irony.

I headed back to the sidelines, and waited for the next match to begin, which was Sasuke and Gaara’s match.

Gaara waited patiently on the center of the stadium. On the meantime, he used this to his advantage and collected several small rocks on the ground, and crushing them to sand for him to use.

It was easier, thanks to Sakura’s repeatedly throwing boulders at Kat, therefore making a huge mess on the ground.

The people were getting impatient, and so was I. If it weren’t because Sasuke was an Uchiha, then he would have been disqualified long ago.

“Which one do you want to bet this time?.” (Chris) I asked Tsunade.

“Hmm. I bet on the Gaara kid to win.” (Tsunade) said as she pulled another stack of 100,000 Ryo.

Once again, people heard her and blah blah blah you know what they’re gonna do.

And just as we were talking, Sasuke made a dramatic entrance and arrived on time. I can tell that he is stronger, but not that much from last time. But compared to Luna’s and the others progress, it’s nothing much.

“Hopefully i’m not too late.” (Sasuke) said mockingly. He was always the type that likes to show off.

“Count yourself lucky, duck butt, you’ve barely made it in time.” (Anko)

The people cheered that they were gonna witness a great fight between an Uchiha, and the son of the Kazekage.

Gaara just stared at Sasuke with an indifferent expression at Sasuke, not even saying anything or even emitting some kind of killing intent.

I don’t know why, but this Gaara seems more terrifying than in the anime.

“Begin!” (Anko) said out loud.

Sasuke ran backwards, and ran up the wall. He then charged his Chidori and charged at Gaara with all his might.

Gaara remained there motionless, not even moving an inch. Just what is Gaara doing?

Sasuke thought that Gaara is weak, and that his weird sand ability is no match for him. So with a single move, he’s gonna end this match once and for all.

Just centimeters away from Gaara’s body, the Chidori actually made contact with his chest, and it impaled him.

Some people were a bit startled, they all just witnessed a death of a kid.

Then something weird happened, Gaara’s body then turned to sand, and it fell into the ground.

“Sand clone." (Tsunade) said.

When everybody heard her, they were shocked and a bit relieved. It was just a sand clone they witnessed perish.

Then the area around Sasuke, the dirt and sand formed into the same body as Gaara’s. The number exceeded more than 50! It must be because of the energy that the one-tails is giving him, therefore Gaara is a chakra beast like Naruto.

Sasuke with his Sharingan tried to identify the real Gaara, but sand was getting in the way of his eyes, making it hard for him to use his sharingan powers.

Sasuke’s greatest strength, is also his greatest weakness. If his powers are hindered, then he’s basically weaker than any of us.

Gaara then commanded the sand from underneath Sasuke to bind his legs, and once it did, all of his sand clones pummelled Sasuke till nobody could recognize.

After like 10 minutes, Sasuke couldn’t take it anymore and admitted defeat.

Then several people of Konoha couldn’t help but look down out of embarrassment. One of the Uchiha’s, which were considered one of the strongest families in their village, to actually get pummelled as if he were an infant. If the Uchihas were still alive today, it would have been shameful to them.

Even I was surprised too. Why is Sasuke so weak? Or is it because Gaara is stronger than in the anime, after all, he is working with the one-tails in this world.

“Sasuke, are you okay!” (Chris) I said from the sidelines.

“That depends, ever been fisted in the ass before!” (Sasuke) was in pain, but he still responded to my question.

“...Hey Naruto, I could use your expertise!” (Chris) I turned to Naruto. Only he has been fisted in the ass by Kakashi.

“SHUT UP MAN!” (Naruto) was a bit red, how did Chris know that Kakashi fingered his ass, did Sakura or Sasuke told him before.

“Read the room!” (Chris)

(Can anybody guess where I got that from? Hint: another anime with vampires, and it’s not the original.)

“Gaara of the sand, is the winner. May the 5 winners get in front of me.” (Anko)

Sasuke was gonna be taken to the clinic, but I healed him, he may be useful in the ambush.

Tsunade had an inderrifent expression, because she knows that she never wins in a bet, unless something bad was about to happen. She then stood up and left, she didn’t even bother collecting the money she won.

Then the five winners stood in front of Anko, again.

Chris.

Luna.

Kat.

Gaara.

Naruto

“I know that you are all tired and/or injured during your last fight, but I don’t care, in the life of a ninja, nothing is fair. Now, all of you pick a number.” (Anko)

I went first, and I got number 4.

“I forgot to mention it again, but whoever gets number 5, will automatically go to the final round.” (Anko)

Naruto then went next.

“Please don’t get five, please don’t get five. PLEASE!” (Naruto) closed his eyes and reached for a ball, the number was...5

“NOOOOOOOO!” (Naruto) He’s never gonna fight today.

Then the rest is as follows,

Kat 2#

Luna 1#

Gaara 3#

Chris 4#

Naruto 5#

This is how it’s gonna happen.

Kat vs Luna.

Gaara vs Chris.

Naruto… wins by default.

“Hmmm! Maybe it would have been better if Ino and Sakura didn’t have a rematch, that way it would have an even number.” (Hokage)

Naruto has been frustrated since the beginning, he never had the chance to fight somebody strong today, all because the group was an uneven number.

“Okay then. Uchiha girl and the Senju girl are fighting next, those of you who don’t have any business here, begone.” (Anko)

Gaara, Naruto and me left to the sidelines and left the two girls who were gonna fight.

“Begin!” (Anko) started the fight quickly. She just wants to get this over with already.
