Naruto and the other hopeful genin were stood in a large assembly hall, nobody had a chance to relax, as they had to sit in this room and wait. Shikamaru's team was the last to arrive. The hall was large with two balconies on either side, a hand sculpture in the form of a ram seal. Naruto smiled at Hinata, glad to see she was okay. The Hokage coughed to get people's attention.
"Congratulations on all students who completed this part of the exams, now for the next part..." the hokage was interrupted by a jonin who appeared crouched in front of him.
"Let me Hokage-sama" said the sick looking jonin; he turned and regarded the hopefuls with a critical eye.
"Ah Kakashi, glad to see your students made it" said Gai, Kakashi just ignored him, but he then suddenly looked up from his book.
"Oh Gai, did you say something" said Kakashi, Gai mock cried whilst Tenten looked at Kakashi with a critical eye.
"He looks much stronger than Gai-sensei; he is also much better looking. I have only seen him play stupid games with Gai-sensei" thought Tenten, the jonin coughed before he began.
"Due to the large number of contestants actually passing the second part of the exam, we are going to be holding a preliminary test, you will each fight one on one until we come to the final ten" said the jonin, Kiba raised his hand.
"Are we not allowed to rest" questioned the sound ninja, the jonin shook his head.
"No, in a battle situation you would be unable to rest, please proceed to stand with your jonin sensei on the stand, before I begin, is there anyone who wishes to drop out" said the jonin, everyone shuffled, mumbling echoed across the hall.
"I do Proctor-san" said Kabuto, Naruto eyed him with a suspicious scowl.
"Okay, Kabuto Yakushi please leave the tower" said the jonin, Sasuke glared at Sakura who was telling him to get the seal checked out. Unbeknownst to him, Kakashi, Anko and the Hokage were eyeing him critically.
"I say we ban him from the competition" said Anko with a growl; the old Hokage heaved a sigh.
"It's not that easy Anko" said the old Hokage, Kakashi nodded.
"Sasuke isn't the type to take things lying down, he would go straight to the council, possibly revealing Naruto has the sharingan" said Kakashi, Sarutobi dropped his pipe, Anko chocked slightly.
"What" they both hissed in a whisper.
"His doujutsu has morphed into a fully matured sharingan, and believe me when I say, according to Sakura he wields it like one as well, he put Sasuke in a genjutsu with just a look" said Kakashi in a whisper, Sarutobi sighed.
"I never imagined such a thing could happen so fast" said Sarutobi, Anko and Kakashi looked at him sharply
"You knew about this" they both questioned, Sarutobi nodded and looked the Naruto who was giving Sasuke a blank look.
"Jiraiya-kun told me about it years ago, Mito-sama long before that, Kakashi go to your team" ordered Sarutobi, Kakashi frowned and disappeared in a blur of leaves.
"Hokage-sama, why weren't any of us told" asked Anko, Sarutobi sighed.
"Because my dear Anko, your former sensei, and my rival would have snapped him up in an instant" said Sarutobi softly, Anko gave a brief nod. The pale jonin gave a cough as the board began to flicker.
"The first match is Sasuke Uchiha vs. Kiba Inuzuka" said the jonin; Kiba cheered slightly at going first, Sasuke gave a grunt and a malicious smirk.
"Kiba be careful" said Kurenai, Kiba just waved her off with a blasé hand wave
