'Normal thought…'

"Kyuubi/Bijuu speech…"

'Kyuubi communicating with Naruko inside her head…'

"Normal speech…"

Jutsu name…

Gaara narrowed his eyes angrily as he noticed how the Kazekage sat down next to the Sandaime.

Sandaime stood up and walked towards the railing, ready to say his announcement. "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming to Konohagakure no Sato's Chunin Selection Exam today. We will now begin the main matches with the eight that have passed the preliminaries. Please enjoy the matches!" He said solemnly.

Naruko narrowed her eyes seriously. 'I'm ready, let's begin.'

"There are some things I have to tell you before the matches." Genma told them seriously and took out a little paper with the new formation for the matches. "Look at this. There was a little change in the match-ups."

"Huh?" Naruko said in surprise and looked at the paper. 'Me vs. Neji, Tanuki guy vs. Sasuke-teme, Kankuro vs. Shino… Until now there wasn't really a change…' She looked at the last part of the match up. 'Ah, I see. Shika has to fight against Temari instead of first fighting with this weird Oto-nin. Did Jiji take him off the exam because he's a member of this creepy weird snake guy's village?'

'Whatever, who cares about that…' Kyuubi grumbled inside her head. 'Can we just start the fights already? It's getting boring…'

'...Kyuu…' Naruko warned him in her mind before she sighed. "Ehm… Mr. proctor?" She asked Genma.

Genma looked at her in surprise. "What is it?"

"Uchiha Sasuke isn't here yet. What are we going to do?" She asked him, hoping Sasuke would get a time delay.

"If he doesn't come here by the time his match started… he will lose by default." Genma explained to her.

Naruko's eyes widened at that and she sighed again. 'This is all Kashi's fault…'

"Listen up." Genma began to explain to them. "Although the landscape is different, the same rules apply as in the preliminaries; there are no rules. The match will only end when someone dies or gives up. But if I decide the match is over, I will stop the match. Do not argue with me over it. Got it?"

Everyone looked seriously at him.

"Good. The first match is… Uzumaki Naruko vs. Hyuuga Neji. The rest of you need to go to the waiting room."

Naruko narrowed her eyes determined. 'I'm going to fulfill my promise to Hinata-chan!'

Gaara, Temari, Shino and Kankuro turned around and walked up to the waiting room.

Shikamaru looked at Naruko. "Good luck, Naru." And with that he walked up to the waiting room as well.

Meanwhile, Kiba and Hinata walked through the rows of the grand stand.
