The next day Preliminary Chunin Exams
Anko: First off, congratulations on passing the second exams
Anko: There wee seven-eight applications for the second exam, to think twenty-one of them made it this far, I said I'd cut it to less than half, I was expecting to single digits, smirks
Choji: Im hungry
Shikamaru: There are still this many remaining, this us such a drag
Ino: Looks at Sasuke with my hand presses together, Sasuke team made it, too
Shikamaru: Of course, way to go Lucy, remember what had happened in the forest of death
Guy: Your team didn't do to badly
Guy: I guess they were lucky, but as long as my team is around they can't go any further after all at the next level, it all be about their abilities, or lack there of
Guy: Oh well, youth can sometimes be bittersweet and harsh
Guy: Eh, Kakashi
Kakashi: Did you say something
Guy: Oh my god
Guy: Not bad my dear rival Kakashi, that coolness of yours always gets under my skin
Tenten: So that's Guy sensei's external rival, huh
Tenten: Guy sensei totally loses in the look department, but
Lee: Guy sensei is the coolest of all the teachers
Lee: He shines! Okay!
Lee: Please watched, Guy sensei I'll shine, too
Lee:  Remembers what happened back in the forest of death
Lee: I won't lose again Guy sensei
Neji: So now, only the outstanding players are left, looks at Sasuke
Neji: Sasuke Uchiha huh, looks at Lucy
Lucy: Noticed Neji looking at me, Smile at Neji
Zaku: You'll pay for that you did to my arms Sasuke Uchiha, for sure
Lucy: I'm going to have to keep a close eye on Kabuto I don't trust him I know there is something go on especially Orochinaru I bet you Kabuto is involved with him, but for right now I'm going to make sure I win this fight I will not put my team down
Temari: To think only seven teams are left of the twenty-six
Baki: Sure enough, not a scratch on Gaara
Kurenie: Akamaru acting strange
Kiba: Looks down at Akamaru, those guys from the sand village
Hinata: Naruto passed,too, thank goodness
Sakura: What? All of the lead rookies are here
Lucy: It would seem so
Naruto: Hey, hey
Naruto: Old man hokage and Iruka sensei, and even bushier Brow are here it feels like everyone assembled
Sasuke: Put my hand on my shoulder, I don't get a very good feeling about this
Lucy: Yeah I know I agree I've been not good feeling as well I think something is going to happen
Sarutobi: Its surprising to believe this many are left
Sarutobi: On top of that most of them are rookies
Sarutobi: Looks back at Guy, and Kakashi, Asuma, so that why the fought hard to recommend them
Anko: No then, lord hokage will explain the third exams
Anko: Listen carefully, everybody
Anko:Looks at the hokage,they're yours lord hokage
Sarutobi: Steps forward, clears my throat
Sarutobi: Before we go into the specifics of the third exam, let me make one thing absolutely clear to you all
Sarutobi: Let me make one thing absolutely clear to you all
Sarutobi: It pertains to the true purpose of the exams, true purpose
Sakura: True purpose
Sarutobi: Why is this exams being held jointly
Sarutobi: By the nations in our alliance
Naruto: Huh
Sarutobi: To promote friendship among allied nations and raised shinobi standards
Sarutobi: Don't you misunderstand what that really means
Sarutobi: These exams are in fact
Tenten: In fact
Sarutobi: A war in miniature between all of our allied lands
Tenten: What does that mean
Sarutobi: If we look back history
Sarutobi: The allied nations of today were once neighboring nations 
Sarutobi: That continued to vie with each other and battle for power
Sarutobi: In order to avoid a futile crushing of each other military strength,those nations mutually selected a place to battle 
Sarutobi: And that was how the chunin exams originally began
Naruto: Why do we have do something like that
Sarutobi: There is no question that these exams are to select shinobi worthy of becoming chunin
Sarutobi: But on the other hand these exams serve as venue for the shinobi to fight to the death for the honor of their death for the honor of their homelands
Sakura: The honor of their homelands
Sarutobi: Many feudal lords and those of prominence from many nations who request shinobi for the work are invited to this third exam
Sarutobi: And the feudal lords and heads of each hidden village of the nations, will watch your battle
Sarutobi: If any one nations demonstrates outstanding skill, that superior nation will be fondation with job requests
Sarutobi: The request of nations deemed weak, on the other hand, decline
Sarutobi: And therefore, one can exert pressure upon such neighboring nation
Sarutobi: By showing just how much ability strength ones villages has and is developing
Kiba: So what? why is it necessary for us to risk our lives and fight
Sarutobi: The nations strength is derived from the villages strength a shinobi's true strength emerges only in a life and death battle
Sarutobi: This exam provides a public venue for each nation to show and boast of the strength of their warriors
Sarutobi: Its because this is an exam where you stake your life that this has great meaning
Sarutobi: As you struggle for the sake of your lives and your people, you help fulfill the dream that was envisioned by our ancestors
Lucy: Ancestors huh, Anna Heartfilia the most powerful celestial mage
Tenten: Then why emphasize promoting friendship
Sarutobi: Didn't I say at the beginning to not misunderstand the true meaning
Sarutobi: To preserve the balance of power by rising your lives in battle, is the essence of friendship in the Shinobi world 
Sarutobi: Your risk not only your future but also your dreams but the dignity and prestige of your home as well
Naruto: Heh, I'm convinced
Gaara: Whatever just tell us what that battle to the death entails
Lucy: Gaara what are you thinking
Saratobi: Now then I'd like to explain the third exam, but actually, c,ears my throat
Hayate: Lord Hokage, please allow me Hayate Gekko the proctor, to handle rest
Sarutobi: I leave to you
Hayate: Nice to meet you everyone,turns and faces everyone
Hayate: Well, before we start the exam
Hayate: I must ask you all to do something for me coughs
Hayate: Uh there will be premlinary rounds before the main exams, and wether you proceed is contingent on it
Sakura: Premlinary rounds
Shikamaru: What do you mean by a premlinary round
Sakura: Sensei I don't understand what's the point of premlinary round why aren't we doing the next exam with the remaining applicants 
Hayate: Well this time around, possibly due to the first and second exams being to easy there are to many applicants left you see
Hayate: In accordance with the bylaws of the chunin exams, a premlinary round will be held to reduce the number advancing
Sakura: Uh no way
Hayate: As lord homage said before, many guests will be coming to the third exam so we can't have long matches since time is limited as well
Hayate: Therfore, those of you not in top physical condition, coughs
Ino: Hold on, is he okay
Lucy: why did let him do it he is clearly sick, this is stupid I mean has cold, (groans)
Hinata: He doesn't look like he's in top condition
Hayate: Excuse me
Hayate: Those who wish to wish draw please speak up now
Hayate: The premlinaries will begin immediately, so
Kiba: Immediately
Ino: But we just made it through the second exam
Shikamaru: What a drag
Choji: Huh what about food
Lucy: Shit
Naruto: Gulps
Naruto: All right I'm going to do my best no matter what since I promised Kabuto, too
Hayate: But from here on out you'll fight individually this is your own decision, so I feel free to raise your hand and drop out
Sasuke: Who would quit, puts a hand on my shoulder because of the pain
Sakura: Sasuke
Sasuke: The waves of pain are coming on faster
Sakura: Sasuke I knew it
Lucy: Sakura was trying to get Sasuke back out
Lucy: Groans in pain, Sasuke
Sarutobi: I knew it
Ibiki: What should we do
Anko: We should pull him from the exams and quarantine him under the guard of an umbrella black ops we should recommend that he with draw immediately and Lucy to she was badly injured and she is still in pain 
Kakashi: He's not the type to quickly accept that after all he is from the Uchiha clan and neither is Lucy she ain't the type to back down without a fight she a very hard headed strong will girl and neither will she accept being pulled out of the exams either just because of that mark and it doesn't seem like it has any affect on her
Anko: Quit your nonsense
Anko: I'll make them both quit by force if necessary
Anko: The curse mark responds even when one just infuses chakra, forcibly extracting all his strength
Anko: Its forbidden juts that debilitates the user
Anko: Its a miracle that kid can even bear it
Anko: Its should of killed him already, and she is lucky to be alive and the wound she has she could of died
Lucy: Damn it Anko
Anko: Lord Hokage
Sakura: You are in no condition to fight properly Sasuke and neither are you Lucy you were badly injured 
Lucy: Be quite Sakura noticed everyone was looking at us
Sasuke: Shut up Sakura
Sakura: I understand
Sasuke: Be quite
Sakura: But your enduring the pain this whole time, right
Sakura: And you Lucy you suffered life threatening wound you would of died I know you healed yourself and the hospital looked at you and gave you some blood but still please you are in no condition to fight
Sasuke: Please be quit
Lucy: You don't think I know that, but I'm not backing out no matter what and (whispers) just because this scar had opened that almost killed me the first time I won't let that drag me down I'm not going to back out and let you guys do all the work no because I will fight along side my friends that are important to me so forget it I'm not back out and beside I'm really looking forward to this fight and I have a couple of techniques I'm looking forward on doing just please let me do this Sakura  
Lucy: Looks at Sakura with my eyes glowing gold
The people that was watching what happen were shocked
Sakura: Shocked, no matter what you both say, I'm going to tell sensei about that mark that you both and about the wounds Lucy, If I do
Hinata: Oh
Kiba: What
Hayate: No one, was expecting someone to drop out but no one raised there hand
Sakura: I have to tell the sensei about Sasuke mark, gets ready to put my hand up
Sasuke: Grabs Sakura hand, not a word about this mark
Lucy: I'm not quitting Sakura
Sakura: Why are you acting so tough
Sakura: I don't want to see you both suffer anymore
Lucy: Sakura
Sasuke: This has nothing to do with you
Sakura: Uh
Sasuke: Its none of your business, I said it before I'm an avenger this is more than just an exam I don't care about getting chunin rank or not
Lucy: Sasuke
Naruto: Oh
Sasuke: and they are here I won't allow you to take that pass away from
Lucy: Listen Sakura this is his way of proving himself and for me I'm not backing out because of this, this is something I want to do I have to do

Sasuke: Shocked by what Lucy said
Sasuke: Naruto you are the one I want fight the most
Saratobi: I'm still concerned about what Orochimaru said, let them both take the exam and keep and eye on the both of them
Anko: What lord hokage
Saratobi: But however if the curse mark spreads and cause his power to go out of control even a little, take steps to stop him
Ibiki: Yes sir
Anko: But, I understand
Hayate: No then we will begin the preliminaries, they will consist of individual compact match ups in other words just like this were a part of a tournament there exactly twenty- one peoples we will conduct ten bouts and the winners will be able to advance to the third exam, there are no rules you will fight until someone dies, collapses or surrrenders but you are not aloud to use your yokai power however there may be cases where I will in to deem the winner (Coughs) and end a match, since I don't want to increase body count the key to your fate depends on, lol,s back at Anko
