We jogged for a while until the tower was in sight. We decided to camp out since it was about to be dark. I pressed the idea of sleeping in the trees, but sadly i was shut down every time. I decided to take first watch since it takes me a while to fall asleep anyway. I had a sucpition Karin was with Orochimaru, but i didnt say anything about it. A few hours latter it was about to be Yuris turn. I was leaning against a tree with my eyes closed, listening for anything. Then i heard a few footsteps about fifty feet away. I sighed and got up.

I walked for thirty seconds then threw kunai in three different ditections. I hit all three men and they only let out a silent "Aaahh". I continued walking and found there bodys. I rummaged through there stuff and took there kunai, scroll, and there food. Dang they got some good food, now i feel bad. I thought. I walked back while munching on some home made onigiri. I wasnt a big fan of it, but it was ok in certain sitchuations. When i got back i woke up my sister.

Psst. Hey. Get up fucker. I said shaking my sister awake. Mmmm no more sora. She muttered. The fuck? I thought. I covered her mouth and punched her in the stomach. Hard. She let out a muffled scream and kicked me. Yo. I said. Its your turn to take watch. That really hurt! She said just above whisper. Well i guess you shouldve gotten up faster. I said with a shrug. Why you! She said then whent to her post. I won again sister. I  thought then fell asleep in less then ten minutes.

I dreamed about a man in orange who could turn change his hair color at will. When i woke up maidas was watching the sun rise. Yo. I said. Gah! He yelled. Dont scare me like that. He said. Sorry dude. I said. I looked at the sun rise and decided to draw it. Maidas was watching me draw. Then Naruto joined. Then Karin. Then Aki. Then my Sister. I got done drawing it in less than an hour.

So how does it look? I asked them. Gorgeous! They all yelled. I tried desperatly not to laugh. We got up and left to the tower wich took us two hours. We decided to split up when we got in, with two Uzumaki not wanting too. Alright lets open them at the same time. I said. Alright. Yuri said. C'mon hurry up! Naruto yelled. Hush child. Yuri said. We both opened the scrolls at the same time and steam rose from it. Shit! Throw it! Yuri yelled. I did so without hesitation. The scrolls poofed into steam and we heard coughing.

Cough cough. So youve passed. Hayate senseibsaid with a smile. Im glad.  Hayate sensei!? Why did you appear with summoning? Naruto asked. Well, us jonin have to welcome the test takers. I just happened to welcome you. Cough. He said. I then proceded to tune out everything else. I blinked and now i was in a line with other teams. How did i get here? I thought. First off, congratulations on finishing the second exam. Anko said, then she gestured for the hokage to speak. The hokage walked up and cleared his throat. Before the explanation of the third exam that we will start from now, i have just one thing i want to tell everyone flat out.

About the true purpose of these exams. Hurry up say it then. I thought. Why do allied nations conduct the exam on a conjoint basis? The hokage asked. Huh? Naruto said. Raising the levels of the shinobi and friendship among allied nations. It wont do to have the wrong idea of the true meaning of that statement. Those exams are so to speak... a microcosm of battle netween allied nations. The hokage said. What? I thought. What does that mean? Tenten asked. I got bored and immediatly tuned everything out. I was smacked upwide the head by Yuri who was behind me. Huh? I said.

Now then, this is where id like to explain the third exam. The hokage said. Oh, finally. I thought. Then Hayate sensei appeated bowing in front of the hokage. Hokage sama, please allow me, Hayate Gekko, who was given the task of judge, to speak first. He said. Whats Hayate sensei doing? Naruto whispered to me. Shush. Yuri said. I leave it to you. The  Hokage said. Nice to mert you everyone... Cough. Cough. Uhmm, theres something... id like you all to do... Cough. Cough. Before the third exam. Hayate sensei said. Yuri heal him if you get good. I whispered. I will. She said.

And that is a preliminary to the third exam, with participation in the main on the line. He said. Preliminary? Sakura said. What do you mean... preliminary?! Shikamaru yelled. Sensei, i dont understand the point of the preliminary. Why arent we doing the next exam with the remaining test-takers? Sakura asked. Because theres too many of us perhaps. I said.
That is correct, Astora. There are a few too many people left, you see. In accordance with the rules of the chunin exams, a preliminary will be held in order to reduce the number advancing. Hayate sensei said. N-no way! Sakura said. Yes way. I said too piss her off.

As lord hokage said before, many guests will be coming to the third exam. So we cant have long pointless matches and our time is limited as well. There for, those of you not in top physical  condition. Cough. Cough. Cough. Dude you gotta get that looked at. I thought. Exuse me. Those of you who wish to drop out, please speak up now. The preliminary will begin immediatly so... Immediatly, you say!? Kiba interrupted. Yes. Thats what he said. I said. He gavee a quick glare. But we finallymade it through the second exam. Ino said. This is a pain. Shikamaru said. Huh? What about our meal? Said Choji. Fat. Im not gonna say it to his face though. I thought.
