Ai redyed her hair making her way to the training area where the third part of the exam would be held.She put her mask on and adjusted her ninja headband over her Anbu tattoo.Ai made her way behind each of the candidates glances at a few of them that noticed her.Ai felt strange seeing all the team's Senseis.They were all a bit surprised to see her knowing who she was and she stood beside the Third Hokage with Ibiki in front of her.
She caught the scent of someone familiar.Ai gave a signal by sneezing rather loudly.The top part of her mask hit Ibiki’s shoulder making the man chuckle.Ai saw how Gaara looked at her with a bit of concern in his eyes.Lord Third nodded glancing at everything then at the teachers,
“It's no wonder why they were all nominated."
Anko said loudly,
“Pay close attention.Our Lord Third Hokage will explain the next part of the Chunin exams.Lord Third if you will please.."
He said smoking on his pipe,
"There's something I'd like you all to know…For the coming third test but before that I want to explain the true reason for the exam.”
There were a few murmurs as he continued,
"Why do we have all the alliance countries taking the exam together?To promote friendship between the countries..To raise the level of Shinobi.I don't want you to be confused with the true meaning.This exam is..A replacement for war amongst the allied counties.”
Naruto made the comment,
"That's the stupidest idea I've ever heard!"
Kiba asked,
"If this is to promote peace then why are we having to stake our lives and fight?Why such dangerous tests?"
The Third Hokage answered Kiba,
"The strength of a village/country is derived from the strength of its foundation.The village/country draws strength from the Shinobi that live there.The greatest strength of those Shinobi only emerges in the midst of desperate life or death situations."
Gaara huffed,
"Could you wrap up the philosophical talk and get us moving to the life or death battles?"
The Third Hokage's eyebrows furrowed,
"Young ones are so insistent.."
A Leaf ninja appeared bowing before the Hokage.He spoke,
"If I,Gekko Hayate may start the explanation of the Third exam in your stead Lord Third?"
The old man nodded so the ill looking Shinobi straightened and turned to look at all the applicants.He spoke with a strong stern voice,
"It is good to meet all of you.My name is Gekko Hayate and I will be the examiner for this next test.Before we start though I must ask all of you to do something.There are some preliminaries that will take place.How well each of you proceed will be contingent to the main last part of this exam."
Sakura asked,
"What do you mean by preliminaries?Why can't we all just proceed to the next part of the exam?"
Shikamaru scowled,
"What kind of preliminaries are we going to be taking part in?"
Gekko explained in an empathetic yet serious tone,
"Well I don't want to say that the previous two exams weren't demanding enough but..There are still too many applicants."
Sakura stammered,
