A few days had passed since the start of the Chunin Exams, and the first two stages had already been completed. The written test had filtered out those without the intellectual prowess, while the survival exercise in Kumogakure's rugged terrain had proven to be a challenging gauntlet for all participants. As the dust settled, only the most skilled and determined genin remained. After the elimination rounds, the remaining contestants prepared for the third and final stage: the one-on-one battles.

The remaining genin were

From Konoha; Itachi Uchiha, Tenma Izumo, Shinko Inari.

From Kumogakure; Karui, Omoi and Yugito Nii.

From Iwagakure; Kurotsuchi and Akatsuchi.

From Kirigakure; Chojuro and Yoshiro Terumi.

The atmosphere in the arena was electric as the remaining genin prepared for their matches. Each fight was a testament to the skills and strategies of the young shinobi, who had come from far and wide to prove themselves.

First Match: Itachi Uchiha vs. Karui

The first match saw Itachi Uchiha facing off against Karui of Kumogakure. As the battle began, Karui charged forward with her sword, aiming to close the distance quickly. Itachi, however, remained calm and composed, deftly dodging her attacks with his Sharingan.

"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" Itachi exclaimed, launching a massive fireball towards Karui.

Karui countered with her own attack, "Lightning Style: Lightning Blade!" The two jutsus collided, resulting in a powerful explosion. Itachi used the distraction to close the gap and delivered a precise strike that knocked Karui unconscious.

Second Match: Tenma Izumo vs. Omoi

The next match featured Tenma Izumo against Omoi. Tenma immediately engaged Omoi with his taijutsu skills, forcing Omoi to stay on the defensive.

"Lightning Style: Clone Jutsu!" Omoi created multiple clones of himself to confuse Tenma. However, Tenma's keen senses and quick reflexes allowed him to identify the real Omoi.

"Dynamic Entry!" Tenma delivered a powerful kick that broke through Omoi's defenses, securing his victory.

Third Match: Shinko Inari vs. Yugito Nii

Shinko Inari and Yugito Nii faced off next. Yugito started with a series of fire jutsus, forcing Shinko to dodge continuously.

"Genjutsu: Binding Illusion!" Shinko trapped Yugito in a powerful illusion, leaving her immobilized.

Yugito, however, broke free using her willpower and countered with "Fire Style: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!" Shinko anticipated this and countered with a water jutsu, "Water Style: Water Wall!" The clash of two jutsu ended and Shinko wanted to sneak attack on Yugito from behind, but when he tried, Yugito Nii has been faster by mile and knocked out Shinko securing her victory.

Fourth Match: Kurotsuchi vs. Chojuro

Kurotsuchi of Iwagakure faced Chojuro of Kirigakure. Kurotsuchi started with a powerful Earth Style attack, "Earth Style: Mud Wall!" to block Chojuro's initial sword strikes.

Chojuro retaliated with "Water Style: Water Bullet Jutsu!" Kurotsuchi countered by manipulating the earth to absorb the water, creating a stalemate. However, Chojuro's superior swordsmanship eventually allowed him to break through Kurotsuchi's defenses and claim victory.

Fifth Match: Akatsuchi vs. Yoshiro Terumi

Akatsuchi's immense strength and defensive techniques faced off against Yoshiro Terumi's unique abilities. Yoshiro started with "Lava Style: Fiery Rock Bullet!" forcing Akatsuchi to dodge and defend.

"Earth Style: Earth Dome!" Akatsuchi created a defensive barrier to block Yoshiro's lava attacks. Yoshiro then switched tactics, using "Boil Release: Skilled Mist Jutsu!" to create a corrosive mist that started to eat away at Akatsuchi's defenses.

In a final clash, Yoshiro's versatile jutsu overwhelmed Akatsuchi, securing his victory.

With the elimination rounds concluded, the remaining genin prepared for the final stage of the Chunin Exams. Itachi Uchiha stood out among the Konoha genin, having won all his fights with remarkable skill and strategy. The anticipation for the final stage was palpable, with each village eager to see who would emerge victorious.
