The crowd erupted in the loudest noise they had since the beginning of the Exams.
In the Kage booth, the 3rd Tsuchikage gritted his teeth in anger as he looked at Tsunade.
'Not only does the girl have a tremendous chakra amount for her age, mastery over all 5 Elemental Natures, and the ability to utilize Sarutobi's Compound Ninjutsu, but she also possesses the kekkai genkai of the Uzumaki Clan!! This girl must be eliminated as soon as possible!' Onoki thought to himself while grimly imagining the future.
Such thoughts passed through the minds of all of the other Kage, as they each understood the implications of such a powerhouse growing into maturity.
However, Hiruzen had different thoughts when it came to the future of the Leaf.
'I didn't expect that she would be able to use my Compound Ninjutsu this fast. But the fact that Tsunade was capable of defeating a Jinchuriki without utilizing any high-level Sealing Techniques is what truly amazes me. Perhaps the Will of Fire has already been successfully passed on, and the future of Konoha will be even brighter than my generation.' Hiruzen thought while a smile unconsciously adorned his face.
He then glanced at all the other Kage and could roughly guess what they were thinking, making the smile vanish from his face.
'But, I'll have to allow these buds to grow to maturity first.' Hiruzen thought while an invisible pressure seemed to be emitted from him.
The other Kage sensed this and began to hide their thoughts as they talked about the match.
"That's an extremely skilled shinobi you have in your ranks, Lord Hokage." A said as he attempted to decrease the tension.
"Yes, to be able to defeat Roshi in battle truly showcases the extreme strength that she must possess." Onoki added with a fake smile.
"Your shinobi truly was skilled Lord Tsuchikage. I'm just glad that the best shinobi won." Hiruzen added in a light tone, making the Tsuchikage lose his smile quickly.
While the Kage's continued to discuss the outcome of the match, Tsunade rejoined her friends in the stands.
"That was incredible Tsuna!! I thought you would win by using your Fuinjutsu to seal the Tailed Beast, but I didn't expect you to use Sensei's jutsu." Jiraiya said while giving Tsunade a hug to show how proud he was.
Tsunade simply reciprocated it while Orochimaru gave Tsunade a questioning glance and asked "When did sensei teach you his Compound Ninjutsu?"
Tsunade leaned in his ear and whispered the answer to him, making his snake-like pupils dilate.
'It seems I'll be able to gain many of Sensei's secret techniques as well.' Orochimaru thought to himself.
Hiruzen felt a terrifying shiver go up his spine, with him cautiously glancing at all of the other Kage while he thought 'I wonder what that was.'
After Orochimaru and Tsunade finished conspiring to take everything that Hiruzen had, the group once again began celebrating Tsunade's victory.
While they did this, the field was gradually cleared and repaired, with the next match being announced.
During the wait, Tsunade undid the seal on Duy and told him to give it his all.
Duy then looked at his friends and gave them all a bright smile as he spoke "With the power of YOUTH I win this battle."
Tsunade and the others smiled back at him, with them all wishing Duy the best of look, as he would need it for his next match.
"The next match is between Might Duy and Blue B."
B and Duy walked to the stage from opposite sides, with Duy having a serious look on his face and B displaying a more carefree attitude.
"I shall defeat you with the power of YOUTH!!!" Duy yelled excitedly.
B paid Duy little attention, with him simply waiting for the beginning of the match as he expected an easy match.
"BEGIN!!"
