Sakura was about to raise her hand and inform sensei about curse mark so that Sasuke will not have trouble with the seal. Sasuke then stops sakura's hand and says " sakura, I did not come here for something trivial like becoming chunin but came to fight all the strong members here " while inwardly thinking ' and finally be strong enough to kill that man and be eligible to stand by her side as an equal ' suddenly naruto says" Sasuke, sakura was worried about you, don't be so mean to her"
Sasuke turns towards naruto and says "I want to fight you too naruto"
Gekko Hayate says "Then, let's begin the preliminary matches. It will be one on one matches. Now that we have 18 people, we will have 9 matches and the winners will be able to advance to the third exam.there are no rules, you will fight till the opponent dies or is knocked out or admits defeat. and if you don't want to die you should give up. however, if I judge that the match is over then I may stop you to prevent any unnecessary deaths"
" Now we will begin to draw names of the participants "continues Gekko Hayate. the names of the participants are displayed one by one, the names on the board stops at Sasuke and Akadai yorui.
I then remember that this guy seemed to be kabuto's teammate, but I was not worried as Sasuke will be able to handle him.
" Good luck Sasuke," I say to him, to which he replies " I don't need to rely on luck to win but thanks"
Sasuke and his opponent goes towards Hayate and stand in front of him. Sasuke seemed to be in pain because of the curse mark which made everyone worried. The opponent smiles seeing this.
Gekko Hayate says " we will now begin the first match. Everyone other than two fighters, please move up there "
everyone starts moving upwards, Kakashi sensei came towards Sasuke and says " Sasuke doesn't use Sharingan ." Sasuke then smirks " huh so you knew about it " Kakashi continues " if seal reacts violently then you may be killed because of it. I will come and take you before that happens and the match will be canceled"
Sasuke then realizes that if the seal will be activated, he will be eliminated and then is determined to use chakra in very fewer amounts to prevent seal activation. The match between them begins.
Both of them get ready in their stances, yorui then throw three shurikens towards Sasuke which Sasuke deflects with his kunai. the opponent then appears behind Sasuke while he was troubled with the pain of the curse mark, as he was about to punch Sasuke, Sasuke dodges and kicks the opponent and then holds his hands to a deadlock. The opponent then touches Sasuke's body and absorbs his chakra which shocks Sasuke, Sasuke was not able to move temporarily. He then kicks Sasuke and holds his head and absorbs chakra from Sasuke while laughing.
Sasuke then gathers some energy and then kicks yorui off him. Yorui then keeps attacking Sasuke, while he dodges continuously. naruto shouts " Sasuke, you call yourself Uchiha Sasuke with a performance like that ", Sasuke looks at naruto then looks at me, I point lee using my eyes. Sasuke sees this and realizes something.
yorui then attacks Sasuke, Sasuke now seemed more confident and dodges and suddenly disappears and then kicks him on his chin, if we look carefully we can easily identify it as lee's move which he used fighting Sasuke and the sound ninja. Sasuke then flies and was about to beat yorui but suddenly he seals started to react, Sasuke then remembers how he made naruto, sakura worry, at last, he sees scarlet's face as she was walking away from him . he then says inwardly ' Sorry for worrying you naruto, sakura. scarlet I will catch up to you ' he then uses 'Lion combo' and defeats yorui .
everyone was looking at Sasuke with shock, lee felt little down as Sasuke easily copied his move just by watching it once. Anko was shocked that Sasuke was able to control the seal using his will. the medics have come to treat Sasuke's injuries. Kakashi says that he will take care of it and says to Sasuke " Sasuke, I will now seal the seal of Orochimaru, so come with me " Sasuke says that he wants to watch the match of others to which Kakashi replies " Sasuke if we do not take care of it now then it cause something irreversible, besides I will not listen to your willful requests twice "
Sasuke then leaves with Kakashi sensei
