The Jade Emperor In Naruto - Chapter 21 Preliminaries 1
“more genin than usual have passed so we will have a randomly selected one on one preliminary match where only the victor gets to continue the exam. Look at the screen, when your name is shown get into the arena, if the battle gets to be too much, people in the crowd can interfere” said the proctor of the of them final stage, Hayate Gekk.
“I forfeit” said a gray haired man who went by the name of Kabuto
“Very well, you are dismissed then” said Hatake. “The first match is” he said while pointing at a black screen, then names starting flashing around and when it ended it stopped on Haku vs TenTen
“Wow” said naruto when he looked at the screen, Hisui had trained him to tell the weak from the strong, and the girl was obviously on the weaker side. Her going against Haku must be bad luck “don’t go too hard on her, ok?” Naruto asked Haku, as he felt bad.
“It’s ok, it’s already not fair that we are competing in this exams knowing full well that Hisui trained us” Said haku with a smile as he walked to the arena
“Good luck, go show them the brightness of your youth” said a man in a green jumpsuit and a bowl haircut, with his thumb up
“I know you got this TenTen” said a boy also wearing a green jumpsuit and with a bowl haircut
“Yeah, I do got this. It’s a girl just like me” said TenTen trying to boost her confidence as she she walked on the arena
“Umm, I’m a boy” said Haku with a little chuckle. This caused everyone’s eyes to widen in shock.
“How can it be? how can a boy be that beautiful?” said a blond haired blue eyed girl with a ponytail and a bang covering one of her eyes with jealousy
“Ino, it’s ok not everyone can be beautiful” said a dark haired boy with his Hair in a ponytail, with a smirk on his face
“SHUT UP” Ino shouted
“You’re a boy?” Asked TenTen
“Yep” answered Haku while nodding his head
“Well that doesn’t matter, I’ll beat you and advance on to the exams” she said while in front of Haku
“BEGIN” said Hatake, the proctor. TenTen then moves back, jumps in the air and throws shurikens toward Haku, but Haku just pulled out his senbon and threw them deflecting every single one of them.
“You’re better than I thought” TenTen says, she then runs to the side, jumps once more, pulls out a rather long scroll and starts spinning in the air, multiple weapons start flying out.
“Wows that’s amazing” Haku says, right when the weapons are about to hit him, a large amount of ice surrounds him deflecting all the weapons. When the weapon rain stops the ice dome disappears. “That was a nice battle, thank you” he says, while pulling out a senbon and throwing it at TenTen’s neck, she could’nt dodge and it hit her, knocking her out.
“Winner, Haku Yki” announces Hatake, while pointing at haku.
“TENTEN” shouts the boy in the jumpsuit as he jumps down to check up on her
“She is fine, I just hit a nerve to knock her unconscious. Pull the senbon out and she will wake up” said Haku as he walked back up
“How was it?” Asked Karin
“Fine” Haku responded
“I hope I’m next” Naruto said with a smile while looking at the screen. Names started appearing and then it ended with Sasuke Uchiha vs Yoroi akado. “Oh it’s the kid from before, so he actually found a scroll in time” Naruto said. ‘A white haired masked man seemed to be talking to Sasuke and warning him about something, oh it’s probably about that seal on his neck’ thought Naruto
Sasuke got on to the stage in front of Yoroi and then the battle began. It seemed as if Yoroi would win because he had Sasuke’s chakra with chakra absorption, right when Yoroi was about to end it Sasuke had an idea and did a partial copy of one of the moves preformed by the boy in the green jumpsuit, which gave him the win.
“The winner is Sasuke Uchiha” announced Hatake. When Sasuke got off the arena he was taken away by the white haired masked man. Everyone then looked at the screen again wondering who was next, Karin Uzamaki vs Sakura Haruno.
Sitting in the kage’s box watching the fights Hisui smiled when he saw who was next. ‘Karmas a bitch’ he thought
“I got this” Karin said as she got on the arena
“Wish me luck” said Sakura as she walked on stage, standing in front of Karin.
“BEGIN” shouted Hatake. Sakura then threw out a kunai toward Karin but she just dodges it. Sakura then runs to the side and throws a shuriken, but again Karin just dodges it. Sakura seeing that long range won’t work, she tries to do hand to hand combat. She runs toward Karin with her fisted c.o.c.ked back
“CHAAAA” she shouts, but right when she was about to hit karin, she felt immense pain in her stomach, she looked down to see that she was punched hard, the punch hurt a lot that she fell on her knees in pain about to throw up. Karin then gives her a chop to the neck and she falls unconscious
“The winner is Karin Uzamaki” announced Hatake. The crowd was looking with shock, that Karin obviously didn’t try, and how one sided it was. Well the next match was about to start soon.
Temari vs Ino Yamanaka. Similar to Karin vs Sakura, it was a one sided battle, Ino was quickly defeated even when she tried her mind control technique, she was blown away and even injured. The crowd looked on, seeing her ruthless she was. But nonetheless it was time for the next match, Akuta Monosuke vs Shikamaru Nara.
Akuta was actually a good fighter, using his chakra sensing and tactical mind to come up with traps with wires and Kunai, Shikamaru was still 5 steps ahead of him and manipulated him to getting caught under his shadow possession jutsu “I forfeit” he says knowing that winning was impossible now.
“The winner is Shikamaru Nara” Says Hatake. Now it was time for the next battle. Shino Aburame vs Zaku Abumi. Zaku boasted about how he could only use one arm and would still beat shino. When the match began Shino commanded a multitude of insects to attack Zaku from behind, leaving him unable to defend. Zaku then revealed he could use two hands but it was too late as the insects blocked the tube in his arm causing the chakra he was trying to use to build up, making his arms explode.
“Ouch” said naruto looking at the match
“The winner is Shino Aburame” declared Hatake.
