Hearing that someone gave up stunned all the participants, they couldn't understand why someone would willingly give up right now. For them, it was inconceivable, after all the three days of hardship they spent in the forest fighting an opponent a single opponent should be a (one) piece of cake.
Kabuto explained that he was too tired from the last examination and he didn't think that he had enough energy to continue right now, Most of the examiners nodded as they could understand him not wanting to risk unnecessary injuries. The chunin exam happened every six months anyway, it was just not worth it to risk one life for it.

Hiruzen: "Kayle has no opponent, he is automatically qualified for the next round! remember everyone luck is also part of your power"
Kayle: -_-" 'Are you sure this was luck? it looks to me like the matches were arranged in advance and you just didn't know against whom to put me...'
Hiruzen: 'Why is he looking at me like this? did he discover anything? but even if he did he should be happy... why does he look like he is looking down on me?' *sweet bullets*
Kayle sighted and followed everyone to the upper layer to observe the differents fights taking place.
The first fight was no surprise at all, Sasuke dominated his opponent very easily, he was stronger already than the original one and he didn't have the cursed mark restraining him.
For the second fight, Kayle decided to make sure to invite Shino to the dinner party he was planning on organizing and he did it as soon as the fight ended.
Kayle: 'Yep never mess up with someone who can control insects to go inside your orifices! it's better to nurture a good relationship early !'
Kayle couldn't help but tremble as he remembered how gory was the scene of Zaku Abumi's arms exploding due to insects blocking the airways in his arms.
During the third fight Kayle started laughing uncontrollably, seeing puppets, he couldn't help but remember a youtube video on his previous life, it was one of the funniest things he watched then, Achmed the dead terrorist.
Kayle: 'Maybe I should develop a technique related to puppets? mastering the Chakra Threads could be very useful... I can't believe I lived in this world all this time and didn't think about it yet'
The next fight... well how should I describe it without being insulting, well the fight started very energetically, they started by some taijutsu exchange, they then threw kunai at each other and one could only marvel at their strengths as Ino was able to easily evade and catch the kunai mid-air to throw it back at her opponent.
Kayle: "..."
After that Sakura got Slapped... then they started insulting each other, and Sakura explained one of the most secret Jutsu of the Yamanaka clan in front of outsiders while making sure to tell all its flaws.
Kayle: 'I'm not sure if I should facepalm or be impressed that she knows so much about the Yamanaka Jutsu... did Ino tell her as they were friends?'
Everyone was relieved once they saw the two girls end up in a double KO.
The next fight of Tenten vs. Temari was a lot more impressive, Kayle couldn't help but feel impressed by Tenten mastery of her art.
Kayle: 'Wow she definitely worked her butt off to be this strong... too bad throwing kunais for ninjas who can use their chakra to summon fire or water is still very basic in the end, the weapons she use alsp clearly lacks a strong firepower, should could make a ravage in the middle of an army but one vs one is not really her strong point'
