── Following the plot of Naruto when he's younger, Uchiha Misaki is the twin sister of Uchiha Sasuke...
Seven of us stood in the center of the ring amidst the deafening roar of the crowd. Sasuke wasn't here. He was late. Good for him. Dosu didn't show up either, and nobody knew where he was. I stood flanked by Gaara and Neji. It felt somewhat like the weight of Gaara's malevolent presence beside me was crushing me. It was almost smothering.
No doubt, Naruto was scanning the crowd for Sasuke. His agitation was evident.
"Stop fidgeting. Stand still and face forward, toward the guests," Genma reproved Naruto firmly. "All of you are the stars of these finals."
"Ahem, ladies and gentlemen, honored guests. welcome and warm thanks for gathering here in Konohagakure for the Chunin Selection Examination!" Lord Third's voice resounded from the highest seat in the stands. "We shall now commence with the matches of the final round between the nine candidates who advanced in the preliminaries. Please sit back and enjoy!"
Genma held up an unfolded piece of parchment, drawing our attention. "Before we begin, I have a few announcements. Look here," he said, his tone authoritative.

There have been a few last-minute changes," Genma continued. "Look again and confirm your assigned opponent."
Instead of ten of us, now there were nine in total. Dosu. I wondered what made him withdraw—if he did withdraw, anyway. Gaara was taut beside me, and my eyes went wide. Could Gaara have killed Dosu? I wouldn't put it past him, but still.
"Hey! Hey!!" Naruto called out, cutting through the murmurs.
Genma grumbled, "What?!"
"Sasuke's not here yet, what's gonna happen?" Naruto asked, his voice laced with real concern.
"If he doesn't get here by the time his own match is supposed to start, he forfeits, and the match will be taken on by Uchiha Misaki and Gaara," Genma said, confirming my suspicions. If Sasuke didn't hurry up, I'd take his opponent. We were both itching to kill each other.
