After three weeks of moping around the village with nothing to do it was finally time for the Final Round. I slipped on my usual clothing but left my flak jacket in my closet. I then strapped my weapons to my side before tying my hitai-ate around my shoulder and slipping on my Onoe Clan band around my arm, leaving my Senju one on the shelf since I don't want anyone to question me. I then walked over to the front door where I slipped on my sandals before slipping out of my house and towards the stadium.

I arrived at the stadium and sat in one of the booths opposite to where the contestants would be sitting and pulled out my dagger, looking at the dragon engraved into the hilt. I ran my finger over it a couple of times until Kurenai showed up. Out of all the Jonin I trusted Kurenai the most seeing that she was female and that she didn't press me for answers to questions. She smiled at me before sitting down next to me and looked out at the arena, "Miwako-chan, can I see your dagger?" She asked and I nodded handing her the dagger which she marvelled at before giving it back to me,

"Kurenai-chan, what are you thinking about?" I asked and she looked at me before smiling,

"You're quite observant aren't you, knowing that I was thinking about something." She said and I nodded, "I was just thinking about how things could go wrong," She continued and I nodded again, understanding what she was meaning. After all I had the same thoughts as well. We waited for another two hours for everyone to show up except Kakashi and Sasuke but they are bound to be here sometime.

I watched as Naruto used Kurama's chakra to defeat Neji and sighed when Gaara's match got postponed seeing as everyone wanted to see Sasuke fight. That lead to Kankuro's forfeit, giving Shino a win by default. Temari faced off against Shikamaru who forfeit just as he was winning the match, pissing Naruto off greatly. I then watched Masaaki's match and he passed with flying colours which annoyed a few people. I smirked as Hiroshi jumped to the ground expecting a win out of him but when I saw the opponent I immediately ran up to the railing.

The opponent was a girl with an unmistakable shade of blue hair and blue eyes. The same colours that belonged to the Onoe Clan. I looked at Hiroshi who was smirking before I looked back at the girl. If she is a descendant of the main branch then Hiroshi's in trouble. Serious trouble. The main branch is trained every single day with no rest days until they can convincingly beat either the current clan head or their sensei. If she is a branch member though I believe Hiroshi could take her on quite easily, "Miwako, why are you gripping the bar so hard?" I heard Asuma ask but I ignored him, waiting to here the girl speak,

"My name is Onoe Setsuko, Heiress to the Onoe Clan and the last remaining survivor!" She shouted and I pailed. This was bad. Really bad. If Hiroshi didn't do something he'd either be dead or on the brink of it. In other words Hiroshi is screwed. I felt all the Jonin tense up around me but they don't know my strength which was stronger than the clan heads but she was still strong. I watched as Hiroshi got into a fighting stance a smirk on his face but before he could do anything he was already pinned to the ground. Setsuko's kunai hovering over his throat.

I quickly took the chance and vaulted onto the ground, pushing Setsuko off Hiroshi before she could finish him off. My back faced the girl and I looked at Hiroshi, "Get out of here. Now. She is stronger than you think but I'll fight her. Just get out of here I don't need you dying on me. Even though you're an idiot 99% of the time if you get away now and let me fight her I might just let you give me one hug," I said and Hiroshi nodded before walking to the outer wall,

"How dare you do that!" I heard Setsuko shriek behind me and I turned around, my hand clasped around my katana hilt,

"I would rather that you didn't kill my teammate Setsuko," I said trying my best not to let out all my anger on her,

"Who are you!" She yelled at me, getting closer and I glared at her before smirking,

"Onoe Miwako," I replied and the girl looked shocked before she smiled,

"Well lets see how you do against the Heiress, after all from the looks of you I would say that you are one of the unimportant branch members," she said and I looked her dead in the eye,

"Game on," I said and pulled out my katana, immediately clashing blades with her sending sparks flying all over the place. I quickly jumped back and let my senses take over before charging at her again but at the last second pivoting on my heel, swinging my blade towards her neck. She blocked the sword at the last second before we both jumped back. I could hear the crowd roaring behind us, clapping and placing bets on who would win.

Setsuko smirked before pulling out her own katana that looked like it was just made. I looked at her again and smirked, "Setsuko, I have hated the Onoe Clan for years after they threw me off a cliff in an attempt to kill me. I landed on a bush though and they also threw down some important possessions of mine. I'll tell you this now though, they hated me because I was stronger than the main branch, far stronger but sadly you won't remember because you are ignorant and don't give a damn about anyone but yourself," I spat and Setsuko's eyes immediately filled with rage before she charged at me using her insane speed.

I smiled and roundhouse kicked her in the face just as she got within reach. Seeing as she was moving to fast she couldn't dodge it and a sickening crack was heard throughout the stadium before she was sent into the wall leaving a large crater. She clutched her broken jaw before glaring at me and charging forward again but she didn't notice that I had been forming seals for a jutsu, "Typhoon Style: Typhoon Wolf!" I shouted and two wolves formed out of the air before running over to Setsuko and pinning her down with their claws,

"HOW DARE YOU!" She shouted but then immediately regretted it when pain shot through her jawbone,

"How do you feel now Setsuko, you shouldn't challenge someone that you don't know the power of even if they are a branch member because I lived in the house with green stones," I whispered into her ear and her eyes widened considerably,

"Y-You mean to say that you are the Onoe that everyone feared because of you're power?" She asked, fear evident in her voice and I nodded before she passed out. I then looked at the proctor and he said that Hiroshi got a pass into the next round seeing as the opponent was far above Chunin level. I then walked backed to the booth where all the Jonin where standing in shock. I just shook my head before watching Sasuke and Gaara's match when everything went wrong. Terribly wrong.
