Mito watched as last two participants of round one move to stage. Guy and Obito. While it looked like Obito wouldn't have a chance against Guy, or so most of people thought so, Mito knew that he would be a difficult opponent to Guy, Guy would still definitely win, but he can hold his ground. The match started with chase Guy was chasing Obito, Obito was desperatly trying to keep distance between them. He would throw kunai and shuriken to distract and to make it impossible for Guy to use fastest routes towards him. Guy was patient and followed every turn he didn't get angry at Obito for running because he run from Mito too. Obito was fusing ninjutsu against him. His great fireball was blocked with small water wall,and when water wall couldn't stop fireball. Guy couldn't be seen. The crowed gasped thinking he died. However Guy came from under ground but Obito managed to jump out the way just in time. But now they were in close combat. Obito was at disadvantage,he could block but couldn't attack. He was under constant pressure he had to use it. Mito also saw what Obito will do. She after all gave him that as a gift. Obito activated his sharingan. The crowd and Guy gasped they didn't expect him to have one. Now Obito could predict and even attack Guy. However he couldn't keep up with Guy for two long, because Guy decided to throw out the weights on his arms. He now was much faster with his arms and he could change were his hand would go more easily. While Obito could predict it he couldn't react in time he wasn't used to this speed. He also was constantly losing chakra. Soon he was knocked out.
Hokage announced that there would be pause for 2 hours. He, Orochimaru and Mito went towards Hokage tower to discuss about who has earned to be chunin out of the people that didn't pass.
The fights in the semi finals were. Hayate VS Shisui, Genma VS Rin, Raido VS Guy. The finals would be 1 VS 1 VS 1. Shisui was still thinking about something. He didn't know his cousin had unlocked his sharingan. He didn't know what triggered it. He hope it wasn't a death or anything like that. He only saw him once during these 3 months looking distressed, and that wasn't that long ago. He had to ask after today, what happened to him.
It seemed like Hokage wasn't happiest when he came back, however Mito and Orochimaru both had that neutral look. The crowd didn't mind them they just wanted to see fights.
The first fight started strong. Both Shisui and Hayate ran at full speed towards each other. Hayate took out his sword while shisui used his tanto to block it. Shisui was pushed back. He wasn't as strong as Hayate was, but still he could held himself quite well against him. Hayate decided not to hold back and used all of his favorite kenjutsu moves like Dance of the Crescent Moon. Shisui had trouble dodging everything that came his way. He was surprised by the speed and accuracy of Hayate. The boy before him was stronger than most chunin he fought. He couldn't attack anymore he only could block or dodge as fight progressed Hayate started to move more and more quickly. Leaving shisui gasping for air. Shisui couldn't keep up he had to make some distance but as he did so. It made enough time for Hayate to do one of his special attacks called Secret Sword: Moonlight. He moved so fast that sword looked like it doubled he managed to take Shisui down with this attack.
Genma VS Rin was the next fight and Rin didn't have a chance against Genma, she didn't even try to attack until the last second of match when she attacked. Genma was rushing her with senbons, she had to dodge them, she didn't have much chakra so she had to use it wisely. She was running most of the fight, when she realized she could never outrun his aiming. She rushed towards him using a technique she learned from Mito she applied all of her chakra into her fists and jumped towards Genma. Genma didn't know what was she doing so he aimed his senbons at her legs he hit however in the middle of the jump Rin put her fist and head down so she seemed like she soared towards him. Genma didn't manage to dodge the impact that came from Rin making a contact with ground. He didn't get any serious injuries he only had few scratches from flying rocks. He knew that Rin obviously had done this as her last resort. So he rushed towards her. She barely stood up she seemed fine only exhausted, so he quickly knocked her out.
The last semi final match was between Raido and Guy. Mito wonder how long would Raido last she knew he had some chance of winning but he seemed to lose some of his chakra against Ibiki and Guy also lost some of his chakra against Obito,but he usually doesn't use it very much, only when it is necessary. The start of the fight was boring for audience because they just stared at each other for 2 minutes, and then then Guy launched himself forward while Raido jumped backwards throwing kunais at Guy. Guy deflected those with his own kunai and moved without losing any time. Raido seemed corcerned because Guy still had weights on his legs and was able to be just as fast as him. Raido had to decide if he wanted to run like Rin or fight like Shisui did. He knew he would end up like them. So he decided to fight head on, he used all of his momentum to push himself from wall of the arena toward Guy who caught on immediately he too rushed forwards. Raido for a moment was faster than him and it was enough for Guy to be hit. Guy flew he barely managed to stop himself before the wall of arena. He angrily threw his weight from his legs the ground shook. And in that vibration Guy desapered completely. He was so fast only shinobi who were over chunin level. Mito saw that Guy was probably faster than her now. She could see that this was the end for Raido. Raido stood still completely confused by the speed of Guy who seemed to play with him. Guy had run laps around him lightly hitting Raido on exposed parts. Raido tried to break the Guys lines but was just in front o Guy who smiled victoriusly and jumped him. Raido couldn't move he only could try to kick him,but even those moves could be blocked easily. Guy strengthen his hold of Raido who was now struggling to breath. Raido had to surrender. Orochimaru looked amazed at Guy speed he asked Mito :" Do you know how much are those weights are heavy."
Mito nodded her head:" the ones on his hands were 5 kilograms each and ones on his legs were 10 each. At least I think they are, he could change them since I saw him last time 2 weeks ago"
