Two more battles were fought after Senshi's battle. The first was Sasuke versus someone called Yoroi. Sasuke ended up winning but seemed to be struggling with something throughout it soon being taken away, Aisura scooted over to his team, Senshi and Sora went with him.

"Hey Sakura what was that about?" Aisura asked.

She bit her lip worry filling her eyes.

"Something happened in the forest of death," She said.

"What?" Aisura questioned.

She told them about the strange man that showed up putting some mark on Sasuke. Hearing Sakura's description of the man Sora tensed recognising who it was. Sora's eyes narrowed a sick feeling coming to her stomach as she looked around. Why was Orochimaru making contact with Sasuke? What was he planning? This stayed in the back of her mind as the second battle started. Shino versus Zaku a ninja from the sound. They watched Shino coming out of it victorious, impressing everyone.

The next battle was soon revealed and Aisura gulped as he looked over at Amira who also looked at him worry in her eyes. The two made their way to the arena as Senshi sighed gaining Sora's attention.

"What's up?" Sora questioned.

"Aisura won't win this," Senshi sighed.

"What makes you say that?" Sora question not disagreeing but wondering why Senshi was so sure of it.

"Amira comes from a clan that is known for raising extremely skilled ninja. She's on your level and Sasuke's level in ability. You three took the top three spots in the academy. I don't think Aisura can match that. But even if that wasn't the case he's not the type of person who can stomach having to fight a comrade seriously," Senshi said already knowing the outcome of this battle.

"Even if that is the case he will put up a good fight. I'm certain of that. He has changed a lot since the academy. Haven't you noticed, he is a lot more confident in battle? Plus he has become more confident and outgoing," Sora said.

"I noticed that too. But that doesn't change the fact he became a ninja to heal people mainly his friends. So having to fight Amira he's going to hold back even if he doesn't realise it," Senshi said.

The two girls looked at Aisura both a bit worried about Aisura. He stood in front of Amira neither wanting to be facing the other. The battle was commenced and neither moved.

"It's no secret I don't want to fight you Aisura. But I won't hold back either," Amira said.

"I know," Aisura sighed not looking forward to this.

Everyone waited in anticipation the air growing tense. Amira let out a sigh her hand moving to her ninja pouch as she threw down a smoke bomb obscuring the arena. Aisura took a deep breath pulling out a kunai and focusing on where he sensed her. In this situation he had the upper hand being a better sensor than her.

He looked to the side as she appeared from the smoke kunai in hand. Aisura blocked her and she went back into the smoke dashing out a few more times, Aisra was able to block each attack the sound of metal being heard by the onlookers wondering what was happening.

"She shouldn't have done this. Aisura is a pretty good sensor," Sora sighed.

"She wants to get this over with as soon as possible if this wasn't Aisura it probably would have worked," Senshi said.

Aisura kept dodging noticing the smoke was beginning to settle. He didn't counterattack once still gaining the nerve to fight her. She was now a little ways away from him also seeing the smoke settling and preparing her next more. He took a deep breath working up the nerve to do this.
