Bab 10: *Chapter 10: The Final Exam*
The stadium was packed with spectators as the final exam began. The excitement was palpable, the crowd eager to see the best of the new generation of shinobi. The matches were intense, each fight showcasing the unique skills and determination of the genin.
Himanshu's first opponent was Gaara, the jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Shukaku. Himanshu knew this fight would be challenging; Gaara's control over sand and his immense power made him a formidable adversary. The battle was fierce, with Gaara's sand attacks clashing against Himanshu's Chidori. The ground shook as the two exchanged blows, neither giving an inch.
As Gaara began to lose control, the dark chakra of Shukaku seeped out, threatening to consume him. Himanshu saw the danger and pushed his Sharingan to its limits, finding a way to pierce through Gaara's defenses. With a final, powerful Chidori, Himanshu struck Gaara, knocking him back and disrupting his transformation. The match ended with Gaara on the ground, panting, his eyes filled with confusion and fear.
"Why… why are you so strong?" Gaara whispered, his voice trembling.
Himanshu knelt beside him, his expression calm. "Because I have something to protect. Someone to fight for. You can have that too, Gaara. You don't have to be alone."
Gaara stared at Himanshu, the words striking a chord deep within him. For the first time, he felt a glimmer of hope, a possibility of change.
Meanwhile, Divyansh's match against Neji Hyuga was a clash of ideals and destinies. Neji's Byakugan and Gentle Fist techniques were powerful, but Divyansh's unpredictability and sheer determination gave him the edge. As they fought, Divyansh's words echoed in Neji's mind.
"Fate isn't set in stone," Divyansh declared, his voice filled with conviction. "We can change our destiny. I'll prove it to you!"
With a burst of the Nine-Tails' chakra, Divyansh overwhelmed Neji, winning the match and driving home his point. The crowd roared in approval, sensing that they were witnessing the emergence of two powerful shinobi.
