Y/n pov

The Hokage was just talking to us about the exam when another ninja came and told us, that we need to do a preliminary round. So now we were on the balconies and waiting for our turn.

The first match was Sasuke Uchiha against Yoroi Akado - Sasuke won

The second match was Shino Aburame against Zaku Abumi - Shino won

The third match was Misumi Tsurugi against Kankuro - Kankuro won

The fourth match was Sakura Haruno against Ino Yamanaka - double knockout

The fifth match was Tenten against Temari - Temari won

The sixth match was Shikamaru Nara against Kim Tsuchi - Shikamaru won

The seventh match was Naruto Uzumaki against Kiba Inozuka - Naruto won

The eighth match was Gaara against Rock Lee - Gaara won

The ninth match was Choji Akimichi against Dosu Kinuta - Dosu won

It was finally my fight and I had to fight some rain Shinobi, her name was Fei Urichi. We both went down and stood opposite each other.

I took more of my rocks and layed them around me.

"START"

Fei ran at me and tried to Rick me but I just blocked and kicked her back into the wall. She then threw a few kunai at me but I caught them all and threw them back.

She then made a few hand signs and said "Water gun Jutsu" I dodged most of the water but didn't see the kunai, that was hidden in the last one.

But before it could hit me out of one of the stones came a fair amount of sand and it blocked the kunai.

"That wasn't really kind, you could've hurt me with that~" I said with a sickly sweet smile. I then threw a senbon needle at her neck and she fell to the ground.

"The winner is Y/n Momochi" the proctor said. I walked over to Fei and puller my senbon out. I then took my stones and waited until everyone came down.

We got information about the finals and we learned who we'll be fighting there. But because of an odd number of participants, I had to fight against Fei again.

After that, I went to the Hokage Office to get permission to go outside the village while training. When I arrived I knocked and walked in when I heard the muffled "Come in."

"Hello Lord Hokage, I would like to get permission to go outside of the village while training for the finals" I said while bowing.

"Hello dear, yes I'll give you permission but I can't let you go alone" he said.

"I see, then would it be alright if I could ask Shikaku Nara?" I asked.

"Yes, but may I ask why?" Asked the Hokage.

"You'll see in the finals" I said and bowed again, walking out of his office.

I walked to the Nara compound and knocked on the door. Mr. Nara opened and I smiled at him.

"Hello Mr. Nara, my name is y/n Momochi I wanted to ask if you could train me for the next two weeks for the finals. I have a Kekkei Genkai which allows me to copy other Kekkei Genkai and I saw your son use the shadow possession." I said.

"I see, yes why not. Come in" he said and I followed him in I think the living room.

"You can use the guest room, we'll begin tomorrow" He said. Then his wife came.

"Dear who is this?" she asked.

"Hello Ms. Nara, I'm Y/n Momochi and Mr. Nara will train me for two weeks. It's nice to meet you" I said while bowing.

"It's nice to meet you Y/n and you can just call me Yoshino" She said.

Two weeks later I said goodbye and went out of the village to train in the woods. While I was with the Naras I got pretty close to Shikamaru and was able to beat him once at shogi.

In the woods, I trained to make Jutsus without making hand signs and saying the name. So basically I could just think of the Jutsu and done.

I also got myself a new summon, so now I had 2 lions, 3 dogs, 3 birds and 4 snakes.

Two days before the finals I went back to the village and slept during one day and the other, I thought about strategies.

And then it finally came - the day of the finals.
