CHUNNIN EXMAS: NEJI HYUGA VS NARUTO UZUMAKI

The third part of the chunin exmas is beginning to start. Every contender was lined up in single line in front of the Procter. They were gazing at the kage booth, waiting for yondaime hokage to officially commence the tournament.

"I didn't know...that weakling like you can even stand here... But before getting anyone embarrass you should forfit it would to best for you" karah whispered back.

"Hey!... Knock it off..." The proctor scolded the two. The Procter stated. "Stand straight and present yourselves proudly to the spectators..."

Karah looked around and noticed how everyone was cheering and clapping for all of them.

"You guys are the heroes of this final competition."

Meanwhile, Minato was sitting in his seat, waiting for one more special guest. Suddenly, someone arrived, but it wasn't the guest he was expecting for, but one of his jounin shinobi.

"Have you found him yet?" Minato asked.

The jounin leaned in and whispered to the blonde man's ear. "No... a team of ANBU Black OPS are searching for him, but so far, they have found nothing... he already may be in Orochimaru's hands, in which case, of course... we may never find him."

Minato closed his eyes in deep thought. "I understand..."

Suddenly the two heard footsteps heading towards them. Minato looked at the direction where the noise came from and saw the guest he long waited for.

The Sunagakure's Kazekage and his two bodyguards.

The Kazekage was a tall man. He wore white robes, a white cloth that covered the lover part of his face, the only visible facial features were his brown eyes. He also wore a traditional Kage hat with the kanji symbol "wind".

"Aha! You made it!" The old man greeted. "Welcome, Kazekage-dono."

Minato wasn't the only one that noticed the arrival of the Kazekage, but Gaara as well. The red head glared angrily at the Kage, feeling both hate and fear towards the man.

The Kazekage sat on the chair that was next to the Hokages and his bodyguards positioned themselves behind their leader.

"You must be tired after your journey here, yes?" Yondaime asked.

"No, not at all..." Kazekage glanced at minato. "I'm only glad that for your sake, the arena is here, in Konohagakure.. as strong as you are...?"

Minato chuckled, stood up and walked towards the railing. "Now then... it is time for the final rounds to begin."

Everyone became silent as they saw the Hokage standing up and looking over the arena.

Minato cleared his throat and breath in some air. "Welcome all! And our deepest thanks for coming here, to Konohagakure for this years chunin selection!... We have come to the final competition between the 12 candidates who made it trough the preliminaries!. We ask that no one leaves, till all the matches are completed!... Now everyone, enjoy!"

And with that the whole arena echoed with cheers.

"Hokage-dono..." Kazekage spoke up. "You just said 12 candidates... aren't you missing two more?..."

"Hmm..." Minato didn't answer, but gazed down upon the contenders.

The proctor was just about to say something to the genin, but karah suddenly raised her hand.

"Question!.. Question!" The girl tried to attract the man's attention.

"What is it?." The proctor asked.
