Chapter 45: Third Phase Of Chunnin Exam
First of all," Anko said boldly. "Congratulations on finishing the Second Exam. Now pay attention. Hokage-sama is going to explain the Third Exam to you. You better listen carefully, maggots."
"First, before I tell you what the Third Exam entails, I want to explain about the test itself. Why do you suppose our country holds these exams in conjunction with our allies?" The Hokage asked rhetorically, puffing on his pipe.
"To raise the ability levels of the shinobi and increase friendship between allied nations to be sure, but it's important that you understand it's true meaning. The exams are, so to speak, a representation of the battle between allied nations. If we look at our history, all the countries that we're currently allied with were once neighbouring nations that continuously fought with each other for power. In order to avoid destroying each others military strength meaninglessly those nations picked champions to do battle on behalf of their countries at a mutually selected location. That was how the Chunin Selection Examinations originally began. There is no doubt that part of these Exams is to select shinobi worthy of becoming Chunin, that's just not the whole story. These Exams also allow for a place where shinobi can carry the pride of their nation on their and fight against other ninja for their very lives."Hiruzen
"Many leaders and people of prominence are invited from various countries to attend this exam as guests and also possibly to seek shinobi to work for them. This exam could determine the course of your ninja work from here on out. And more importantly, those rulers will watch your battles and take note of the skills that each ninja and each nation is developing. If there is a gap in power between countries, the strong nations are inundated with job requests for their ninja and conversely, requests to those deemed weak decline. Therefore, the stronger our nation is, the better our position when negotiating with neighbouring countries. So it's important to show how much military strength our village has."Hiruzen
"The Third Exam is a fight for life, with the pride of your village and your own dreams at stake."Hiruzen
"The test is fine. Just tell me what the details of the Exam are, already. I can handle anything you throw at me," Gaara
A ninja landed, kneeling, in front of the Hokage with a burst of Body Flicker speed. "Hokage-sama, before you do please allow me, Hayate Gekko, proctor of the Third Exam to speak first."
"So be it," the Hokage granted.
"It's nice to meet you all." Hayate coughed. "There's something I would like all of you to do before the Third Exam."
"We have to have a preliminary exam before we can move on to the real one. This is the first time in all these years that there have been enough candidates finishing the Second Exam to require one."Hayate
" as Hokage-sama said, a lot of important guests will be watching; we can't afford to waste their time. They've come to see only the best. So if there are any of you that feel you are not in top physical condition, now's your chance to bow out. The preliminaries will be determined by one-on-one combat and they will be starting immediately."Hayate
Kabuto raised his hand" I'm out".

"I'm out, too" Fuhaku raised his hand
"What? But why" Naruto
"I can't fight anymore now Naruto" Fuhaku said and left
Outside the entrance.
"Kid you got lucky before, next time I will kill you" Orochimaru
"It's your fault for underestimating me Snakey" Fuhaku
.
.
"Alright then. We will now begin the preliminary round. There are 17 of you remaining, so we will need eight matches and one of you will gain a pass. The surviving candidates from these matches will move on to the Third Exam. As for the rules, there are none. You will fight until one of you dies or concedes defeat or is rendered physically incapable of continuing. Naturally, those who are losing are encouraged to concede defeat to avoid a fatal outcome. Furthermore, as proctor, I'm given a certain amount of leeway in judging the matches. I might occasionally intervene if a match seems hopeless to save as many lives as possible."
.

After the preliminaries were over.
"Naruto vs Neji, Sasuke vs Gaara, Ino vs Choji, Shikamaru vs Temari and Kankurou, these matches will be held after a month" Hayate
.
At Uchiha residence.
"Sasuke, for the next month you will practice chidori and try to evolve it yourself and you have to increase your speed so take this vest you can adjust it's weight with the dial at the corner" Fuhaku said seriously
"Gaara is a tough opponent so don't hold anything back against him" Fuhaku
"Yes" Sasuke nodded
.
"Well,Naruto should be learning summoning jutsu from Jiraiya now" Fuhaku thought "I will pay him a visit later"
"System, what can I summon with my summoning jutsu" Fuhaku

"Kamui" Fuhaku
.
"You can't defeat me kid, return while you still can" Hanzo
"You don't have to think about me" Pain
Fuhaku appeared in the room.
"Well, Well"Fuhaku said, "It looks like you are in trouble Hanzo"
"Who are you?"Pain asked," Your jutsu is the same as his"
"Why don't we take this outside" Fuhaku said
"It won't be fun in this small room" Fuhaku
