When team 7 and team 10 arrive in the tower there were already 3 team's:
Team Gaara, Team sound and team Neji and now new team team 7 and 10
Then they opened the scroll from where their jounin teacher' clone came out congratulating them . the team of Shikai went to eat food and waited until the end of 2nd stage exam ..\
In this gap, incident between Anko and Orochimaru happened which the genin were unknown of , then came the preliminary fight but before this student were asked if any one to leave to which Kabuto answered and said
"I'm already injured so i can't win the preliminary exam saying this he dropped out, " then there was 21 member left so the referee Hayate Gekko made a roulette to design the fighting sequence .
All over the fighting math were the same as the original
1 t match was {Sasuke Uchiha vs. Yoroi Akadō } which Sasuke wins even when he was affected by curse seal , then kakashi took Sasuke to seal the curse seal and met Orochimaru
2nd match was {Zaku Abumi vs. Shino Aburame} whcih Shino wins with the bugs of his
3rd match was of {Misumi Tsurugi vs. Kankurō} which Kankurō wins by his superb puppet controller
4th match was Sakura Haruno vs. Ino Yamanaka ended with double knockout
5th match was Tenten vs. Temari where Tenten weapons couldn't affect Temari due to her wind control so Temari wins
6th match {Shikamaru Nara vs. Kin Tsuchi} where for the first time Shikamaru used shadow hide and shadow move making Kin Tsuchi unable to locate Shikamaru ,
Shikamaru then firstly threw Kunai in slow ark and suddenly did the paralysis jutsu on Kin through which the kunai exactly attacked Kin's knee so due to default Shikamaru won
Seeing this match Hokage asked "Shikaku what were those technique?"
To which Shikaku replied as" well, Sir hokage the shadow hide technique is the d class technique to hide in shadow which was made by Shikamaru and Shikai along with Yamanaka clan "
"And the second one is not a technique but application of shadow which I found, where a body can adopt to the speed of shadow , depending on the chakra and body developed"
Hokage being interested" oh! then tell me their speed and tell me yours"
Shikakau didn't think much and said" well Shikai can move with the speed of special jounin , and Shikamaru is 80% of its speed, and haha i had increased my previous speed by 3 times"
Saying this shikaku gave a bright smile ,
Hearing all this even hokage wanted this technique so he was about to ask, Shikaku knowing what hokage was thinking gave reply" well, this technique can only be performed by Nara clan so giving to anyone won't help but if you want i can show you"
While their topic was going on,
7th match was on the progress of Naruto Uzumaki vs. Kiba Inuzuka which was the win of Naruto from unexpected means
8th match was of Hinata Hyūga vs. Neji Hyūga which was the win of Neji and Hinata was heavily injured
9th match was Gaara vs. Rock Lee where Shikai wanted to jump to fight but he couldn't so he looked that match clearly , during the match after Lee released upto 4th gate through which his speed was greatly increased and that speed was similar to the speed of Shikai so he was amazed of Eight gate technique. but even after lee opened the 5th gate ,due to Gaara being unstable and his huge chakra he broke the foot of lee and this match was won by Gaara
The last match or 10th math was a 3 way match between Dosu Kinuta vs. Chōji Akimichi vs. Shikai Nara , as this exam was held in leaf village so the favour was in the side of konoha as everyone thought that Shikai and Choji will gang up , Shikai said" Choji let me fight him "with this he jumped down
.Dosu seeing Shikai was coming alone was happy as he wanted to kill Shikai as he had cut hiS arm before
Dosu" i Have been waiting for you , look this is the new arm that is strong than the previous one , come and accept the death saying this he rushed toward Shikai "
Shikai hearing this gave a playfull smile " then catch me first " saying this he hide in shadow
Then he played hide and sick with Dosu for 5 minute which nearly made dosu give up due to mental pressure
So after 5 minute Shikai came out of Shadow and said" what you didn't see me?"
With this he gave a kick to Dosu making him fly and he too jumped from the ground and did the attack of lion barrage of Sasuke in his own way
In this move -he kick the opponent in the air then Shikai too jump in the air while attacking the enemy then when falling down he press the enemy with his whole body giving the enemy double the speed and more weight ,damaging the enemy .
This was the playful attack style he just copied from Naruto and Sasuke
With all this he knocked out the enemy and softly landed in the ground , now all audience were watching when the next match is gonna began but suddenly
Shikai said " i give up"
Hearing Shikai all people were awkward why he gave up
Hayate asked" do you really want to give up?"
Shikai " yes , I have fulfilled my quota already"
saying this he gave Ibiki and Hokage a smile , looking at the smile of Shikai , now finally Hokage knew that from the beginning Shikai knew the mindset of Hokage so 3rd hokage felt he had been played with since the beginning
So he stood up and said " Hayate , let him give up he already did his job, so the finalist of this match is Choji"
Now all the genin you have 1 month for the preparation of 3rd stage so prepare well and be ready for the exam ."
Saying this he glared at Shikai ,called Shikaku ,wispered in his ear and went away
