-Begin! - Hayate shouted, then walked away.

Kin, excited by the date, didn't want to play with Ten Ten.

-Go, Ten Ten!- Lee shouted.

-Let's go! Ten Ten! Let your youth burn!- Guy shouted excitedly. -Let's scream! Lee!

-Osuuuu!- Lee shouted excitedly.

Even the noisy Naruto, nearby, covered his ears.

As soon as the fight began, Kin threw out her Senbon, so with bells, so without.

Ten Ten smiled and dodged easily. - It won't work!

Ten Ten quickly drew her own Shurikens and threw them back, which Kin dodged easily.

The fight quickly turned into a tossing war, with no one hitting. While Ten Ten was growing tired and ready to use her scrolls, she stopped the next mont, falling to her knees.

-W-what?!- Ten Ten clutched her head, feeling her vision blur.

Kin smiled. Normally, she would mock Ten Ten to show off her power, especially in front of Jugo-sama, but knowing he didn't appreciate it, Kin grabbed more senbon and threw them at Ten Ten.

Tenten managed to dodge, throwing herself to the side with difficulty, but one of the senbons still grazed her.

Holding her injured and bleeding arm, she tried to stand up shakily. -What's happening...

-What happened to her?!- Lee yelled upstairs.

-Damn it! What did that sound girl do?!- Naruto yelled too.

Guy narrowed his eyes, Kakashi spoke softly. -It's the bells.

-As I thought.- Guy agreed.

-What? Bells?- Naruto and Lee turned to them, Neji narrowed his eyes, opening his Byakugan.

-The sound, it's imbued with chakra, it's a genjutsu.- He spoke softly.

-Damn it! Ten Ten! It's a genjutsu, it's coming from the bells!- Lee shouted quickly.

Ten Ten heard it and looked at the bells, which were swaying without wind.

-Damn it!- She spoke and tried to escape their reach, but at that mont, as she tried to run, her body fell forward, hard.

Kin smiled slightly, soon starting to laugh, as a generic villain, making Jugo roll his eyes.

The group above was shocked, and Guy and Lee clung to the guardrail. -Ten Ten!- they scread.

-It's no use.- Kin said. -she won't get up.

-Damn it, is that genjutsu?- Lee shouted angrily.

-No.- Neji said, his Byakugan still active.

-It's poison, in the needles.- Kakashi looked at Ten Ten's injured arm.

-What?! Poison?!- Guy jumped at the sa ti as Lee, going for Ten Ten.

Hayate didn't stop him, judging it as Kin's victory.

-Damn it, what disloyal behavior, using poison!- Lee yelled at her.

Kin just scoffed after glancing at Lee, uncaring. -Ninjas use everything they can to kill, are you stupid, bushy-brow?

-What?!- Lee jumped up furiously.

-Lee, stop it!- Guy stopped Lee and shook his head.

-But, Guy-sensei!- Lee sounded frustrated.

-Lee, it was a fight and anything goes in a fight! Questioning this now is just mocking Ten Ten's effort!- Guy yelled at Lee.

Lee clenched his fists and lowered his head. Neji, up above, narrowed his eyes, glancing at Kin, then at Dosu and Jugo, especially Jugo. Rembering his power, he felt even more irritated.

-Damn it, this woman is really sneaky, using poison!- Naruto yelled, irritated.

-Naruto, you idiot, shut up.- Sakura jumped and punched Naruto, afraid of attracting Jugo's attention.

-Kin-san, what poison did you use? I hope you can tell to avoid accidents.- Hayate turned to Kin, letting his aura out a bit.

Kin didn't care compared to Jugo, his aura was laughable, but she still spoke. -Don't worry, it's a paralyzing poison. The effects should wear off in half an hour to an hour.- Kin shrugged, then explained the type of poison. Hayate thanked him, and Guy, who was listening, was relieved.

The Hokage narrowed his eyes. A small village like Som, two of them had already passed.

Dosu defeated Shino and Kin defeated Ten Ten.

Shino is very promising and highly praised. Ten Ten was trained by Guy for over a year, yet they both lost.

Of course, Hiruzen could see that their level was at most Chunin, even Kin was only at the level of a regular Chunin at most, but the problem was that the jutsus they demonstrated were a bit complicated.

Hiruzen began to take this small village a bit seriously and looked at Jugo, still standing there leaning against the guardrail on the other side.

He already had his own theories about the Sound Village, but nothing was concrete. In the end, he sighed. He was old, but he still had a lot to worry about.

-The winner is Tsuchi Kin.- Hayate announced at the end, Kin walked quickly back, feeling very happy.

The idea of ​​using paralyzing poison was Jugo's. He thought it was a waste to use simple senbon, after all, these things rarely cause fatal damage. Even if you don't kill, it must at least cause so negative effects, right?

So, he helped Kin search for so poisonous herbs and animals during this ti with the help of the forest animals.

Even Dosu and Jugo had poisoned weapons, but neither of them really liked using throwing weapons, so only Kin really got stronger from it.

Reaching Jugo, Jugo wasn't stingy and patted his head, leaving Kin both embarrassed, but happy.

Shaking his head, Jugo looked back at the screen, feeling the gaze on the other side. Lee and Neji were looking directly at him, eager to try, probably thinking of avenging their partner.

Jugo just smiled at them indifferently.

Dosu seed oblivious, still maintaining his hunched posture, Kin was imagining the "date" she would have with Jugo.

After Ten Ten was taken away, Hayate cleared his throat, coughing a few tis and quickly spoke. -Let's move on to the next fight.

Looking at the screen, a new match appeared. -Naruto vs. Kiba.

Jugo paused for a mont, curious.

Half the fights were over. Among those remaining, Naruto could win against Kiba, Choji, and Hinata. He could win with perseverance and luck against Temari and Shikamaru. He would certainly lose against Lee, Neji, Gaara or Jugo.

He won the original match against Neji, but first, he didn't have Orochimaru's seal disturbing his chakra. Second, he had learned to extract chakra from the Nine-Tails.

These two factors, along with the rest of his training, closed the gap.

Naruto now has only the will to win and the perseverance to do so. He can create many clones, but his clones are too weak for Neji. In the end, beating Neji is almost impossible for him.

Of course, if there was so protagonist nonsense and he managed to extract Kurama's chakra by so miracle, he could still turn the tables.

Lee could lose if he held back, just as Ten Ten lost to Kin. If she had started with the Twin Dragons, Kin, who doesn't have the Wind Style, would have suffered greatly.

But in any case, Hinata was probably saved for Neji what remained were Kiba and Choji.

Jugo didn't think much more about it and looked down at the excited duo below they both thought they would easily defeat each other.

The fight began with full force, as Kiba advanced with Akamaru, throwing smoke balls that obscured vision but not sll.

Unfortunately, Naruto tricked Akamaru with a clone and caught him, but Kiba used a food pill to temporarily increase Akamaru's chakra production, then used beast mimicry, soon Naruto was fighting two against one.

Which, in Jugo's opinion, was foolish, given that his signature jutsu is shadow clones.

But in terms of taijutsu, Kiba was ahead of Naruto. Unfortunately for Kiba, Naruto is lucky and resilient enough.

What truly interested Jugo, to the point where his eyes narrowed, was sothing else.

Observing Kiba and Akamaru's style, Jugo beca thoughtful.

The next sequence is called Werewolf.

He felt the Inuzuka clan would be a good foundation for his acting skills as he advanced, so he observed the duo.

Wolves... ferocity, teamwork, speed and dexterity.

He didn't know if observing this would be useful, but seeing the duo leaping around, even running along walls on all fours as if they were truly a cross between dogs and ninjas, Jugo felt he could learn sothing from it.

But if he had to run on all fours...

He didn't even want to think about it.
