Naruto and I go to our home, I cooked meals for both of us which we ate happily, we relaxed for some time. I went towards naruto and asked him " naruto tell me about the remaining part of preliminary rounds "
He says " fine nee-chan "
"The next match was between Hinata and neji. Neji taunts Hinata by saying that she was too kind and lacks self-confidence and is not suitable to be a chunin. I got angry and shouted at neji ' don't label people like that you idiot ' and then I asked Hinata to beat neji, soon Hinata regained her confidence and they both started to fight using their clan's taijutsu the gentle fist. Both of them hit each other and block each other's strike at the same time ."
" Finally neji and Hinata strike the heart of each other, Hinata coughs up blood while neji was fine. Kakashi sensei told me that neji blocked tenketsu present in Hinata's hand. Hinata somehow tries to fight back and regains her confidence. As Hinata was about to strike neji, neji strikes Hinata's heart. Hinata falls down but still gets up to fight neji. neji got angry and was about to strike Hinata as Kakashi sensei and guy sensei, Kurenai san stop neji. I went towards Hinata as Hinata fainted. "
" Neji called me said 'Hey. you drop out there. Let me warn you about two things. If you are a shinobi then stop things like cheering up others and second a dropout is always a dropout, they can't change ' I then got up and said to neji ' let me also tell you two things. First, do you realize how lucky you are that you insulted me when nee-chan was not present if she was there I am sure that even if you don't die, you will be seriously injured by her? Second, I will defeat you ' I hope you didn't mind that I used your name nee-chan "
I reply " You did well naruto. About you using my name I don't care. Besides what you said was true if I was present I would have stabbed one of the eyes with senbon as punishment "
Naruto inwardly thinks ' although nee-chan does things for my good, I wish she is not too protective over me '
I say " Naruto, this time I won't involve in the fight between you and neji unless your life is in danger " while inwardly thinking ' Naruto I wish to protect you from all troubles but it will prevent you from becoming strong, so will have to face many troubles and grow up by learning from your mistakes. But don't worry I will look after you in shadows '
Naruto continues " Next match was in between Lee and Gaara. Lee attacked Gaara using taijutsu but every time sand from Gaara's gourd blocks lee, Even shuriken is thrown by lee were blocked by it. Gaara then uses sand to attack lee. Lee was not able to hurt Gaara. Bushy brow sensei then asked lee to remove weights, the weights then fell on the floor which created an earthquake. Lee then moved very fast and was attacking Gaara continuously but Gaara's sand was defending him, finally, lee was able to kick Gaara's face which shocked everyone . finally after some bouts lee was able to knock lee onto the floor "
" But Gaara gets up, we then saw that there was sand covering his face and was similarly protecting his body. lee then revolves around Gaara and kicks him in air and uses secondary lotus but it was a substitution and the real Gaara arrives from behind. Gaara had an expression like a beast and starts attacking lee wildly. Lee then suddenly regains his confidence and starts fighting actively. Lee suddenly starts emitting a large amount of chakra as he says ' Third gate: Gate of life open '
His skin turned into red color, he again said ' Fourth gate: the gate of wound open ' and then moves towards Gaara, the whole stage broke as he moved lee beats up Gaara but slowly his muscles got ripped and lee hit Gaara his final strike which he blocked using his gourd. Lee fell and fainted, Gaara wanted to kill lee but he was stopped by bushy brow sensei "
" I felt very frustrated by seeing lee in that state, but Kakashi sensei told me to respect lee's decision. that's how the preliminary rounds ended"
" Nee-chan the third round matches are :
naruto vs neji ;
Gaara vs Sasuke;
Shino vs scarlet;
Temari vs Shikamaru ;
"
I say " Naruto lets move towards the hospital, the person invited by Kakashi might have arrived near the hospital lets go and meet him "
"Sure nee-chan "replies naruto
Both of us went towards the hospital...
