Who do you think?!

The proctor watched as the next two combantants entered the ring and the crowd watched in anticipation, so far the Exam was turning into one very interesting show, and people we taking notice of some emerging stars.

"Lord Hokage, I must say, I was quiet surprised by the beginning of the exams. That Raven haired ninja of yours certainly is a clever one", the Kazekage said,

making Sarutobi look at him fun. "what do you mean he stayed with you and your family for nine years. Both yourself and your kids should definitely know how smart and powerful he is ", Sarutobi said the Kazekage nodded. "my bad my memory drew a blank there for a few seconds. but my daughter is up next and I am sure she will not disappoint me.", he said evenly, making Sarutobi smile and reply "We shall see my friend...".

Looking between the two fighters, the proctor nodded as he announced "The next fight is between Sakura Haruno and Temari! Begin!", he yelled as he jumped away, signaling the start of the match.

" Shisui ", Kurenai said getting his attention as his teacher called him. "Watch Sakura's match closely. She wanted to show you how strong she has become since you four left the forest of death a month ago.", Kurenai instructed, he nodded and turned to watch as Sakura made the first move and made two clones of herself and charged Temari.

"Heh, you think that this is going to beat me? How basic!", Temari commented as she brought her fan up and in a wide swing took down all three Sakura's, leaving the field empty of any pink haired girls in sight. Temari looked around cautiously as she waited for an attack. She checked all sides before she felt something weird happening to her.

Looking down at the ground beneath her, her eyes widened as she saw herself sinking into the dirt slowly, as if the ground was trying to swallow her whole. 'Is this some kind of jutsu?!", Temari thought as she struggled against the pull of the ground, but that only made her sink even faster as she shook her head to clear it. 'Think Temari... what could this be? I didn't hear any ninjutsu called out... and where is that pink haired...?'. Suddenly Temari realized what was happening as she bit her lip hard enough to draw blood.

Opening her eyes, Temari saw she hadn't moved an inch from where she had before, and neither had Sakura. "Genjutsu is so annoying!", Temari said as she opened her fan and swung it towards Sakura. That created a strong burst of wind that pushed the girl back, only to reveal it was another clone. At this point, Temari was getting annoyed. So far she hadn't fought her opponent at all.

"Alright, now I'm getting ticked off!", Temari yelled as she swung her fan in all directions, sending waves of strong wind all over the battlefield and finally hitting Sakura who was hiding among the trees. Sakura was pushed out of the cover of the trees and back to where Temari could see her, in the clearing of the area. It seemed the attack had been a bit too strong as Sakura lay on the ground, unmoving.

Up in the stands, Shisui narrowed his eyes a bit in thought. "Kurenai I know Sakura isn't the strongest ninja around but she could take more then that, right?", he asked as they watched Temari walking up to the pinkette. "

''Oh, don't worry Shisui!", Tenten said grinningly. "I made sure personally that Sakura knew how to fight that damned Sand bitch!", Tenten said, muttering the bit on the end as everyone around her sweatdropped a bit.

Temari stood over the form of Sakura with a surprised look on her face. "She couldn't be that fragile. Even that bunhaired girl put up more of a fight.", Temari muttered, looking down at Sakura before said kunoichi suddenly spun in place and kicked Temaris fan from her hands, knocking it a good distance away as she grinned.

"You're right, I'm not that fragile!", Sakura yelled, now that her trap had been sprung as she charged at the pig tailed Suna girl.

"Hehe, pretty sneaky, forehead girl!", Ino said sncikering as she watched the fight ensue as they matched fist against fist relentlessly, not knowing the judges were making their own observations of her pink haired teammate.

"She used a trap to separate the girls strength from her, making her weaker and easier to fight.", one grinned.

"This girl's got spunk!", the other judge nodded in agreement.

Temari jumped back to avoid a hit from Sakura as she smiled. "You should give up. You know the kind of opponents you could face after this. I'm not trying to be mean, just a friendly warning.", Temari said

Sakura grinned. "Thanks, but I can handle myself, especially with my friends watching me!", Sakura yelled as she charged again, only for Temari to do something unexpected.

She suddenly pulled out a smaller fan. Waving it, she created a cloud of dust that obscured not only Sakura's view but also that of the crowd as it took up almost all of the field. "Damn it, now I can't see damned thing!", Kiba said as he watched for any sign of the fight.

Unknown to everyone else, Sakura found herself looking around nervously as she didn't know which way to expect Temari to come from. Hearing something from behind her, she was about to turn before she was hit hard on the back of her head by the casing of Temaris fan. "Sorry. I warned you and this is for you own good. Gaara can only take so much before he snaps again and I need to at least give it one more try before Shisui keeps his promise to me. I promised to never give up on him, so I won't.", Temari said, looking at Sakura who now truly laid unconscious from the sharp hit to the head.

"For what's its worth, I'm sure they took notice of you.", Temari said with a sigh as she used her fan to clear the smoke away and revealing to the crowd the result of the fight.

The proctor took a moment to look things over before yelling "The winner of the match is Temari!"
