Two chunins came and drawn a large circle in the ground floor.
The coughing man stated, "The rules of the duel is, you are defeated if you are out of the circle, or if you surrender and admit defeat or you got killed by your opponent."
"Now, the 1st duel members come forward."
As this voice is heard, the Sound Village guy immediately jumped to the inner circle. He can't wait longer, he wants to kill Naruto and make Naruto bleed.
Naruto jumped from the side he is standing to the ground floor, inside the circle.
The coughing guy declares, "Start!"
The Sound Ninja guy moved towards Naruto very fast.
Asuma, who is near Kurenai, says, "Who do you think will win this duel, Kurenai?"
Kurenai with the known face, like she knows the future and knows who will win and who will lose this match, that was her face expression. She says, "It's obvious the Sound ninja guy will win."
Asuma also agreed to this, he nods at Kurenai.
Shikamaru wants to confirm Naruto's character, so he watches this duel seriously, noticing every expression Naruto gives and how he is dealing.
The Sound Village guy is coming. Naruto moved towards him. As speed of relativity (according to science), it just happened in few seconds, Naruto and the Sound guy met.
Sound guy is about to launch an attack on Naruto, but Naruto ducked it with precision and went to the back of the Sound guy and pushed his palm with force on the spinal cord of the Sound guy.
"Demonic Palm!"
CRACK CRACK
Spinal bones cracked.
"AHHhhhhhhhh"
The sounds of bone cracking is heard to all. The Sound guy is flying in mid-air, but he is screaming.
Then Naruto took his ball and released his 80 needles enveloping with qi. As needles went above, Naruto used his hands and with pull, all needles struck the Sound guy's front body.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
His face got disfigured, and as all needles got stuck at many important points and organs, it caused a heavy pain.
THUD
With a large thud, he landed on the ground.
Everyone is silent, no one is making any sound.
They all did not expect this.
Blood is flowing out from the Sound guy. He barely opened his mouth, as he is in pain.
With low voice, he says, "K..i..ll m....."
This was heard by all the members as they are in very silent.
Naruto did not want to inflict more pain to him, as he did not offend him.
As soon as he heard this, Naruto took his sword and cut a clean neck slice. The head of the Sound guy rolled on the ground.
Everyone gasped at this scene. Hokage also shocked to see Naruto killing someone.
Kurenai, who is proud like an almighty person, is also got shocked to see Naruto brutally killing someone.
Shikamaru looked at Naruto, as he is not making any expression even when killing someone when he is a genin. To Shikamaru... Naruto looked like a fiend.
Everyone did see what Naruto did except Kakashi, Guy, and Neji team.
The long silence is stopped by the coughing man.
COUGH COUGH
"Naruto won."
As he said this, Naruto went to his original position and cleaning team taken out the dead person and cleaned the mess of blood.
The coughing man next announced another team.
Naruto leaned to Sakura, "Sakura, after this following match, it's your match right."
Sakura says, "Yes, master."
Naruto says, "Tell me what does Ino's most powerful attack. I will advise you to counter it somehow."
Sakura said, "It's mind transfer."
Naruto got fascinated, "Oooohoo, Mind transfer. Then in that case she transfers her mind to opponent, even though the opponent has consciousness of their body, they can't control it. Is my explanation correct?"
Sakura says with doubt, "I don't know master, since, I didn't experienced it beforehand."
Naruto says, "Do this. When she uses mind transfer, move all your conscious to the point where most pain is generating. It will take very less time to regain your control of your body if you do this. And also use the breathing technique you learned, that will make you have more stamina."
Sakura says, "Yes master. I will."
As Naruto and Sakura talked, Ino watched them.
Ino thinks, 'Maybe I am overthinking. But my instincts telling me, my match going to be tough.'
After the completion of duel, the coughing man announced,
"INO and SAKURA. Come to the arena."
.......MEANWHILE
Kabuto entered Orochimaru's living place.
There, Kabuto knelt down and says to Orochimaru, "Lord Orochimaru, I have completed your task."
Orochimaru says with interest, "Tell me what did you observe."
Kabuto, who is originally planned to somehow connect with Team 7 and watch more and learn about Sasuke. That is also what he was tasked by Orochimaru. But his plans got failed as he did not attempt an entry to connect with them before the first exam.
As Naruto team and all academy students got attention, Kabuto tried to calm them down and show his intellect skills and his information about other students to team 7, to attract them. But Team 7 came last second and Naruto calmed everyone and the invigilator appeared very soon after. This made his plan fail.
But this didn't stop his task to watch over Sasuke. He did see Sasuke from starting to till he got beat up.
Kabuto says, "I think Sasuke will be the perfect person for your new vessel and we can use Sasuke to the fullest if we offer him power."
