Jabie was the only one who looked at the upcoming battle with interest within Team 11. But he was also the only one really able to gain anything from this battle. Not counting the person who wins the battle.

”Please begin.” Hayate said before watching Miyahara whip out a scroll on her back and summon a large wrecking ball attached to a chain. The wrecking ball was two times the size of the owner! Miyahara started to spin around with the steel ball and steel chain. Slowly increasing her radius every complete spin. Juria activated her Byakugan and started to rush towards Miyahara.

Juria easily saw the wrecking ball's trajectory and slipped past the spinning ball of death and then proceeded to jump in the air and dive towards Miyahara with her palm. Miyahara couldn't stop her spinning momentum in time and was palmed in the back. She slid away with a palm print on her back and slightly stunned from the effects of the attack. Juria quickly took advantage of her opponent's circumstance and palmed both of Miyahara's arms, before Miyahara booted Juria in the stomach. Juria flew away ungracefully and rolled quite painfully before she slowed to a stop.

”Owieeeee. You got a hard foot..” Juria said in a cute voice.

”That's not the only hard thing I got you!” Miyahara said before she appeared in front of Juria's face with both of her feet diving towards her face. Juria's white featureless eyes widen in surprise. She quickly rolled out the way and let the muscularly-built girl crash into the wall. She got up and went back into her clan's taijutsu stance.

After the crash, dust rose in agitation from it. Slowly Miyahara walked out of the dust field and locked eyes with Juria. She started to make some hand signed before shouting ”Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Jutsu!” and blowing high speed fireballs at Juria. Juria quickly started to dash away while getting closer to Miyahara. Miyahara smirked before throwing a mass amount of shuriken in no discernable direction.

Juria with her Byakugan saw through this seemingly random move. Attached to each shuriken was a sharp nearly invisible ninja wire! She was blocked off from Miyahara momentarily. She didn't have any ninjutsu to get rid of these ninja wires with so she decided to hope for the best and jump over them. She gathered chakra in her feet and blasted off in the air.

Unfortunately for Juria, this was exactly what Miyahara was hoping for. Miyahara was already spinning her wrecking ball that was collecting all the shuriken and ninja wire that she threw earlier and set it on fire! She flung her flaming spiky wrecking ball at the mid-air female kunoichi. Juria screamed before the devastating attack landed.

But luckily for her Miyahara pulled back her attack at the last moment, freeing the girl from a painful and particularly horrifying end. She landed on her feet with the fear of death in the shape of a steel ball still in her eyes.

”Surrender princess. This isn't the only thing I have up my sleeve.” Miyahara said in a boastful tone.

”I…. surrender…” Juria said.

”I'm stopping the fight here. And thus.. The winner of the first match, Miyahara Otsune, has passed the prelims!” Hayate said.

Miyahara's teammates and sensei cheered for her, prompting her to raise her arm in victory and start flexing. Causing some of the genin and jonin to laugh. The Trio of Demons however had a different look. Jabie was absolutely upset. The hyuuga girl he marked did absolutely nothing! She only got a few hits in before losing immediately! He was hoping those few hits she landed was enough to research some things about the Hyuuga clan's taijutsu. Esumi was interesting in taking that metal ball off of her hands if she happened to fight her. Broly didn't really find anything interesting about this match.

The electric board starting to speed through the contestant's names once again.

[Yada Esumi VS Uchibayashi Masazumi]

”YES! I'm next! I'm definitely gonna enjoy this battle!” Esumi cheered.

”Hmph. This is gonna be a piece of cake.” Uchibayashi said.

The two walked into the preliminary arena before stopping a couple feet in front of each other.

”Now we will begin the second match. Please begin.” Hayate said before Uchibayashi immediately dashed towards Esumi. Uchibayashi slung his arm back and sent a punch towards Esumi's face.

”Great a brainless one. This should be fun enough to last me until this is over. I hope.” Esumi said before dodging in an effortless manner and swiftly kicking Uchibayashi in the gut.

Uchibayashi was sent flying towards the other side of the arena! Everyone, including Esumi widened their eyes in shock. How could such a small girl generate such force in her body?! Esumi herself was thinking how could this guy be so weak and make it this far!?! She might have to hold back a bit if she wants to have her fun. Uchibayashi, who was currently flying, was confused why he was moving so far away from his opponent and why did his stomach hurt so badly before crashing into the wall.

Esumi tch'd in annoyance and raised her gravity seal to level 8, the same as Jabie's, before walking over to see if this idiot lost before she could satisfy herself. She concentrated her chakra in her hand before waving all the dust away, only to see a dizzy boy walking around unsteadily while going through some hand signs. She only heard the words ”Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!” before a stream of fire came from the boy's mouth.

Sadly due to his dazed state, his aim was very off and made it very easy for Esumi to dodge the beam of fire. Esumi grabbed her metal pipe like sword off of her back and appeared behind Uchibayashi. She smashed her weapon against the back of his leg, *CRACK* causing a rather uncharacteristic shriek to come from the dark and broody looking boy. His teammates looked in worry and slight anger. His sensei's face grew grim at the brutality this fellow leaf-nin shown.

Esumi on the other hand smiled widely at the sound of the hit. She looked at the boy kneeling on one knee. She heard the words ”I…. sur-”

Esumi's face turned into one of a raging She-demon as she kicked the boy's jaw shut, nearly breaking it! ”If you even think about saying those words, this will be the last time you ever say anything again!” Esumi warned with killing intent that shouldn't be seen on a girl her age. This caused many of the jonin to look seriously at the cruel, small blue-haired genin.

”How can she have such a high bloodlust at her age? What is her teacher teaching her?!”

”How could she treat a fellow member of her village in such a brutal way? Doesn't she have any comradery?!”

”Very unyouthful display.”

Esumi walked over to the boy who was shivering in terror and started to wail on him more and more until eventually he looked at Hayate in the eyes. Pleading and begging to save him with just his eyes. Esumi stood over the boy with a terrifying smile on her face and swung downward with Basher.

Uchibayashi disappeared and a huge crack in the arena's ground formed from Esumi's attack. She was confused on how her punching bag disappeared before she saw him with the referee!

”Hey you sick prick! He didn't say he surrendered! Why did you jump in!?” Esumi shouted without restraint.

”Like I said earlier, I am the one who decides when the winner is clearly established. Anyway the winner for the second round, Yada Esumi, has passed the prelims.” Hayate said with a light cough.

Esumi clearly displeased at the lack of a great finish returned back to Aomatsuna and Jabie with a pout on her face. The surrounding genin and jonin looked towards her.

”She's pretty scary for a leaf shinobi.” Temari said to her brother.

”At least not all of them are as weak as they look.” Kankuro agreed.

”Violent women are so troublesome..” Shikamaru said.

”I'm not so hungry after seeing that match…” Chouji said while putting away his chips.

”She doesn't look so tough!” Ino said slightly unconvinced in her self.

Jabie was snickering off to the side at Esumi. Esumi blew up and started to swing at Jabie in anger. Jabie dodged the attacks while still laughing.

”No fighting in the stands or you both will be disqualified.” Hayate interrupted, causing Esumi to place Basher back on her back and look towards Hayate with a glare. He ignored this and coughed as the electric board started to flash through the genin's names once again.

[Rock Lee vs Uehara Ruka]

”Here I go Gai-sensei!” Lee said before flipping off the balcony and landing inside the arena with a ”stylish” entrance. His opponent however just walked normally.

The green jumpsuit genin met eyes with his female opponent. She wore thick glasses, a lavender jacket, and a black long skirt. Hayate signaled for them to begin and she started to go through hand seals. Lee however appeared in front of her instantly and punched towards her chest. This surprised the young kunoichi and she quickly stopped her jutsu and blocked. She was sent sliding backwards from the force of Lee's punch and her arms felt slightly numb.

She tried again to make the jutsu but was once again stopped by Lee. Lee after knocking her backwards followed up with a jump kick soaring towards her. Uehara dropped to the floor and rolled over to recover. As Lee recovered from his attack and dashed at Uehara once again but, Uehara finally made the hand signs for the jutsu she was attempting and shouted ”Ninja Art: Needle Trick Jutsu!” in a very squeaky voice.
