(Ok lool soooo its been awhile...decided to bring this back mostly to improve on my writing but i had also soo much planned for this to let it go to waste. Now to welcome you lovely lads and lasses back, i put out a little chapter not too long to reintroduce you ...kinda. I do tho really want you guys to read all the other chapters to get a feel for this story ...anyways yea.)Welcome back:Some days had passed. The final stage of the exams was soon to begin. The last stage had been delayed to "allow the Genin to recover from the battles and stress of the previous stages", that was the statement released to the public.
But there was a completely different reason. It started when some of the Genin who had failed the previous stages of the exam had not shown up for their check ups. A behind the scene investigation started after a team of finalist from the Hidden Snow had disappeared.
In an attempt provoke public concern and fear, the Kages agreed to continue with the last stage of the exam while they kept the disappearances quiet.
The hidden hill once again in a frenzy as the sun burned bright that morning. Crowds surrounded the giant arena while they shoved and pushed each other in haste to get a seat inside the arena. Merchants and brokers from around the various nations, all in one place fighting for their voice to be heard among the masses. As they shout out their goods and products like in a common marketplace and attempt to catch wondering eyes.
Every villager able to breathe and walk, wanted to be there, to be able to watch the new batch of promising, some would say prodigies, the future Chunin of their respective village. If the dead could they would.
The Arena was filled, not one seat was left unoccupied, excitement surged through the arena passing like electricity from one person to the other, as 8 out of the original 14 finalist arrive and line up. The arena was circular in shape, the ground covered with trees, rock and debris, to simulate the feel of an actual battlefield. Typical of the Hidden Hill.
The Thunder team Saeko, Hide and Mura, lined up one after the other. Next to them were Genin from the Volcano, two of them to be precise, a result of one of their teammate failing the previous stage. The third team were the unusual Genin Saeko had spotted at the beginning of the exam.
The crowd roared as a famous Hidden Hill Jounin emerged out from one of the giant trees surrounding the Genin.
"Welcome Everyone!!" The Jounin shouted out as he announced his presence. The Jounin flicked the stray strands of hair off slicked back hair into place, as his white teeth gleamed through his lips smiling into the crowd.
"Now the rules for the final stage are simple, the last two standing will progress to the next round, where they will face off on a one on one battle." The jounin paused as spun around to face the genin, with a smirk he continued.
"So yes it IS a rumble, work together or not only two of you eight will have the chance to becoming an official Chunin."
Smiling softly, he turned back towards the crowed, "Now shall we start?" The crowed roared once again in reply. The jounin accepted their response as a yes and with a soft wink he disappeared.
With all eyes on these talented young ninjas the final stage of the exam began.
