Hit the gas!
There's no need to finagle, oh yeah!
We'll go all through the night.
I'll complain at the end,
the balance is zero, oh yeah!
We'll whittle the days away...
When you open your heart a little,
and pull someone close to you,
Your feelings will surely reach them deeper, yeah...
Hurry it up! Wring it out!
Though my legs are all tangled, they will surely take me far...
Even if I steal it and manage to grasp it,
If it isn't you, then what's the point?
So I'll go far into the distance...
Tenten
Temari
Fifth match, Tenten and Temari. Please, step forward.
I'm getting pumped up after watching that match.
Country of Sand's second opponent.
Do your best, Tenten!
This might be an interesting match.
Begin.
Shikamaru staggers!?
Female Ninja's heated battle
Shikamaru staggers!? Female Ninja's heated battle.
Fight! Tenten!
Believe in your power, Tenten!
Tenten! We're with you!
Fight with everything you have!
That's it! Show your spirit!
Yes, sir!
These two are noisy.
Go, go!
Tenten's distance from the enemy is amazing.
It's not too close, and not too far.
She can deal with both offense and defense.
What's wrong?
Please begin.
You want to observe what I do?
This is just a warning, but if I start attacking, you're going to be finished in a second.
You're not skilled enough to see how I'll attack. Stop trying to look good.
I don't mind, come on.
You sure seem confident.
Then, I'll go without hesitation.
I missed?
That can't be.
What's wrong? Was that attack just to test me?
Or did you shrink up with fear and can no longer aim?
I thought that I would have more fun, but it seems that I can't expect much from you.
That can't be! Tenten's attack missed?
That's impossible.
Tenten is able to hit a mark a hundred times in a hundred tries.
There's no way she can miss.
Yes.
She didn't miss. She was forced to miss.
She has a friendly attitude, just as usual.
This is pointless.
How unsightly.
Sand wins again.
We don't know that yet.
I know.
Why? How do you know?
Explain it to me so that I'll understand!
Idiot. I'm not going to do such a troublesome thing.
If Shikamaru says so, then that's what will happen.
I don't understand these guys.
Calm down.
Don't let her provoke me.
One.
Two.
Three.
If she's dodging it, then I just have to make her not dodge it.
She's measuring the distance between her and me. The next attack must be a big one.
I see, so that fan was the trick.
Then...
How about this!
What?! My weapons...
Is there a trick to that fan?
This is the first star.
There's two more.
When you see three stars, you're going to lose.
Tenten! Don't let the enemy make you go at her pace!
Stay calm! Stay calm!
I know, Lee.
I was going to use this in the main matches instead of this preliminary match, but it looks like I can't hold back.
She's going to use "it" already?
What's she planning to do with those two scrolls?
No matter what you try, it's useless.
(Soushouryu: Rising Twin Dragons)
Soushouryu!
Even if you increase the numbers, it's the same result.
Second star!
I'm not done!
Did I get her?
Third star.
She disappeared.
Where is she?
Here.
Shoot...!
(Kamaitachi: Wind Scythe)
Ninpou, Kamaitachi!
Tenten!
That wind has chakra embedded in it.
Tenten fought well, but she can't escape that tornado.
How cruel...
Tenten...
That was boring. Very boring.
She neutralized all of Tenten's weapon attacks.
This can't be...
Who is she?
It was just as Shikamaru said, Sand wins.
That's why I said that.
There's no way we'll lose here.
The Country of Sand ninja are something to be feared.
Fifth match winner, Temari.
Oh, no!
Nice catch.
Why did you do that?
Is that something you should do to someone who fought her hardest?
Shut up.
Take that piece of trash and leave.
Stop, Lee!
(Konoha Senpu: Konoha Whirlwind)
Konoha Senpu!
What?
You're just like how you look, you're stupid.
What did you say?
Stop, Lee.
Gai-sensei!
Temari, come back here.
You won.
Stop dealing with that ugly guy who's with his guardian.
What?
Just let it go, Lee.
Gentlemen from the Sand, if I may warn you about one thing?
He's strong.
You better be prepared for it.
They're trying to pick a fight with the guys from Sand?
I'll never want to fight them.
They have some amazing people.
Don't lose to them, Naruto.
Sakura-chan?
Sakura-chan, hey, are you okay now?
Don't worry about that, worry about yourself.
Me?
I'm not hurt.
That's not it.
If you lose here, you're going to be a disgrace.
You won't be able to face Sasuke-kun.
Okay...
Also...
Thanks for before.
No!
Sakura-chan!
You've come a long way to get here!
It's going to be a disgrace if you lose to that Sasuke obsessed freak!
If I didn't have your passionate support...
I might have lost to Ino easily.
Yeah, you're right.
This guy...
All right, hurry, hurry, me next, please!
Me next, please.
Nara Shikamaru
Kin Tsuchi
Damn...
Me, eh?
Shikamaru! Don't lose! Show us that you're a man!
Yeah, yeah.
Beat the other guy up with a 16 hit combo!
Ino's gotten more energetic.
Go! Shikamaru! Win!
He controls the shadows.
Be careful of the shadows.
I won't fall for that stupid technique.
Shikamaru! Beat her up!
How troublesome... On top of that, it's going to be tough dealing with a girl.
Then I'll end the match quickly.
Actually, I do know the abilities of these guys from that second exam incident...
But I have no idea what kind of jutsu she uses.
On top of that, she saw my jutsu.
Sixth match...
And I only have...
Shikamaru against Kin.
Begin.
... this.
You can only use one thing like an idiot?
Shut up!
(Kage Mane no Jutsu: Shadow Imitation Technique)
Ninpou, Kage Mane no Jutsu!
As long as I look at your shadow movement, I have nothing to fear from that jutsu!
Bells?
That sure is a classic trick.
Next, you're going to throw a needle with a bell and one without a bell at once, right?
If I react to the sound of the bell and dodge it...
I'm not going to notice the needle with no bell, and it'll hit me.
Right?
You talk too much!
I just have to be careful and not fall for your shadow needle attack...
What?
Behind?
A string?
Shoot!
Too late!
Shikamaru!
He got hit directly.
No, look closely.
I dodged a critical hit.
Now it's my turn.
I won't let you.
What's going on...?
Those who listen to the sound of my bells become like that.
This vibration from the sound of this special bell works directly on the eardrum up to the brain.
Then, it will show you an illusion.
That's useless. You can't shut out my bell's sound with that.
You can't...
Damn it, which one is the real one?
You can't move at all, huh?
You don't even know where to stretch you only hope, your shadow.
Now, I'll tenderize you slowly.
Damn it, she's underestimating me...
Now, I'll throw five. Next, seven.
I'll continue until you look like a hedgehog.
You deceitful wench.
You said you would end the match quickly.
I see. You're in so much pain that you want to be relieved of it quickly.
Then I'll finish you off with this.
It's the end.
What?
My body...
My Kage Mane no Jutsu finally succeeded.
What are you talking about?
Your shadow is nowhere near me.
You still haven't noticed?
Did you...?
Just as you assumed, stupid.
There's no way a string at that height will make a shadow.
I can stretch and shrink my shadow.
Damn it, the shadow's getting bigger and bigger.
This wasn't the shadow of the string?
Yes, I thinned and stretched my shadow to make it look like the shadow of the strings. Then I attached it to you.
But how are you going to win now?
All I'm going to do is move the same way you move.
Shut up, and just watch.
Are you stupid? If you attack like that, you're going to get hurt, too.
I know.
Are you planning to...?
We're going to stab each other with our shuriken now.
How long will we last?
Stop this nonsense!
He was just bluffing...
One down.
Ninja need to grasp the landscape and situation, then fight.
Even if we move the same, our distances to the walls are different.
I just used the shuriken to get your attention away from the wall.
Winner, Nara Shikamaru.
Way to go, Shikamaru!
You're cool!
I'm next. I'm next. I'm next.
He looks dull, but that was kind of cool.
Damn it.
So I'm the only one remaining.
Now for the next match.
Now we have one Sound ninja, me, Hinata, Naruto, Chouji, Neji, Lee.
And that Sand guy.
Please don't let me match up with that guy.
It looks like I can have nice battles with the rookies this year.
Uzumaki Naruto
Inuzuka Kiba
My turn! My turn! My turn!
Thank you for waiting! It's finally my turn!
Hell yeah! We got lucky!
We can win against him for sure, Akamaru.
I wasn't next...
Sakura-san will call me fuzzy eyebrows and hate me.
If I'm not next, Sakura-san...
This Lee boy is just like the young Gai.
Do your best, Naruto.
Just leave it to me.
Now, Naruto. Show me how much you've grown.
I'll do this!
Can you hear me?
The sky is limitless and blue,
The sea is endlessly large
to you, please keep your smile or else I'll cry.
you don't have to look around now
because everyone are in these hands
wanting to cry
wanting to run
if you forget happiness then sing
light was born and dark was born
the two is together
feeling harmonia, telepathy
Can you hear me?
