After the end of the second round many genins eliminated from the chunin exam. The teams who passed are team 7 ,team 8 ,team 10 , team guy, sand siblings, and kabuto's team. Out of 26 team only 6 team passed the exam. Sakura informed kakashi about the curse mark of sasuke .
But sasuke didn't want to be unconscious for few days so he insisted that after the preliminary he will seal the curse mark . Kakashi wanted to seal the curse mark but he didn't want to keep sasuke away from chunin exams, so he agreed with sasuke for the timing .
Today all the participants are gathered in the main hall of tower. Hokage has come to congratulate them for coming so far in the exam.
” You have done a great job this far. In ancient times war was the only way to show the military strength but now in peace times we show our strength through the chunin exams. Chunin exams is a time where younger generation shows the power of their ninja village in competition and attract more missions for their village ,” hiruzen explained about the chunin exams to the competitors.
” Excuse me hokage sama, can I explain the rest ,” Hayate gekko said to third hokage . In response Hokage nodded to him.
” As you know we didn't expect this many participants so we have a preliminary before the *cough* finals which is going to start in few minutes . As we cannot waste the time of respected guests during finals . So *cough* we will show them the best among you. I am the proctor of third round hayate gekko. If someone wants to leave because of some reason he can quit now, ” hayate said to them. He explained the rules to participants. Kabuto raised his hand.
” I want to quit , my body is not in a condition where it can cope up with the battle right now ,” Kabuto said to the hayate.
” O. k then you can leave. An anbu *cough* will show you the way out of the forest ,” Hayate said to him . He was surprised that he quit after coming here. Nobody quits without a solid reason.
There was a gaint screen from which the two person will be selected randomly as opponents. The first name was sasuke vs yoroi. Yoroi is the teammate of kabuto . Sasuke was excited to test an older genin.
” Good luck sasuke, ” kakashi wished him luck for his match.
” You can do it sasuke kun, ” sakura encouraged sasuke like always . Naruto remained silent . Sasuke went downside in the arena. Sasuke and yoroi looked at each other.
” Begin ” Hayate signaled a start of the battle.
Sasuke went on an ȧssault mode from the beginning. Yoroi waited for him to come closer as an experienced shinobi. He avoided the punches and kicks of sasuke. when sasuke came very close to hit him. He didn't avoid the attack but he grabbed sasuke head.
As soon as he grabbed the head of sasuke . Sasuke started feeling as if his chakra is leaving him.
” ahhhhhhhhh, whatttts happeninggg to meeee ,” sasuke questioned unintentionally to him. He was in deep pain.
” Its my specialty , I can absorb chakra by touching anyone and recover my chakra ,” yoroi said to sasuke with a smirk . He is told by kabuto not to go easy on sasuke and push him to extreme limit.
Sasuke was feeling helpless and then somehow he maintained his distance between them in a desperate effort. Then he started to throw shirukens to distract him. When yoroi was distracted enough he used one of lee's move on him.
He came before him and bent his body and hit him with his leg upper cut on his chin. Yoroi body flashed in the air. Sasuke came below him in the air. His curse mark got activated but he controlled it.
” lions barrage, ” sasuke said and delivered a kick upside down from his angle and yoroi fall to the ground . He became unconscious. Hayate checked him if he is really unconscious.
” Winner : sasuke uchiha, ” Hayate said after confirming it.
After sasuke matched finished . Kakashi didn't want to take another chance and he took him to seal his curse mark for the preventive measure.
In screen another name popped up by the time sasuke match finished. Its shikamaru vs kin from sound village . Shikamaru looked at his opponent and his mood changed.
” Why I have to face a girl it's troublesome, ” shikamaru said to asuma. But after looking at Ino's angry face he went to arena.
Kin thought it was an easy victory but shikamaru trapped her in her own game. Kin used sound genjutsu from bells but shikamaru trapped her in a shadow possession jutsu and made her unconscious and won the ticket for final.
After that Ino battled with sakura . They started with battling with kunai and shuriken . Later sakura used clone jutsu to confuse ino which she survived. Ino then used mind transfer jutsu which was countered by sakura's inner personality. Atlast both knocked out each other with a quick punch .
Kankuro replaced himself with his puppet before the match with masumi one of kabuto's teammate. Masumi used chakra to soften his bones and hold down kankuro puppet . Kabkuro later revealed himself and captured masumi inside the puppet and won the match.
