"Well, that is nice of you. Rooting for your teammate." The Nara boy can see hope in her eyes. He has to admit, Misa is the most beautiful shinobi in this generation. Shikamaru may not have romantic feelings for her like Sasuke but she is a great friend.

Then, Shino makes his way over to them. "I see some socializing so I decided to come to join." He has his hands in the pockets of his coat and black glasses on, basically his usual apparel. Misa chuckled "It's great to see you again, Shino-san." She greeted the Aburame. He nods his head as a response. The three turn their attention back to the starting match.

During the fight, Neji performed his Hyuga Clan Jutsu that tries to vanquish Naruto. It was up until the orange chakra makes its appearance. Adrenaline causes everyone to be flabbergasted as the chakra ignited. Naruto's speed is much faster than before. Neji couldn't expect the momentum.

Instantly, his opponent charges with a kunai knife. But Neji does his Rotation Jutsu and gets collided by the powerful chakra. Inexplicably, an erupt explosion happens. Misa grew felt concerned and she clutches her fist to her chest as the dust disappears. She gasps in total surprise. Naruto is down!

"Failure boy. Sorry, but this is the reality." Neji asserted a brusque comment. "Now this is the en—" As if he thought he was about to end his speech, a hand came from the ground and mercilessly uppercuts him. Naruto made a strategy to fake his defeat by using a clone. He can now see that he has beaten Neji. Panting heavily, Naruto trudges to the half-conscious Hyuga. "Because unlike me, you're not a failure." The Jinchuriki stated.

The power of believing in oneself becomes the power to change destiny.

Genma smirks proudly at the boy, this match is over. "Winner of this fight is Uzumaki Naruto." He announced to the public. Hundreds of people from the audience all cheered. Misa wanted to cry for him. He has come a long way to prove to everyone that he can make his dreams come true. After telling her that Jiraya is his mentor, Naruto will be the next legendary shinobi. She watches her friend runs around and blowing kisses at the crowd from above. 'You are incredible, Naruto.' Misa smiles merrily.

"For our next match is...Temari versus Akiyama Misa."

Genma calls up the two ladies down to the pit of the arena. She can feel her spirit has been energized. Naruto, Shino, and Shikamaru all wish for Misa to do her best. Temari is already heading down while the Akiyama follows. She remembers how they first encountered and it wasn't close to a welcoming. But she is up for the challenge.

When coming face to face, the Suna-nin smirks at the small girl. "I just hope you won't go easy on me," Temari said. Misa plays a smirk as well "Oh I won't." She remarked. Genma saw their interaction and laughs under his breath. First female fight of the day. "Alright, since you both look ready...the match now starts." The Jōnin steps back to watch this upcoming ferocious moment.

Misa lowers her hand to grab the kunai knife. She witnessed Temari is close to removing the gigantic fan from her back. She makes the first move by jumping back and hurled the weapon. Temari easily dodged it with her closed fan. Misa creates hand seals "Hyōton: Mangehyō!" Thousands of ice petals came shooting at her opponent. Temari unfolded her precious weapon "Ninpo: Kamaitachi!" She fans a powerful gust of wind. The ice petals shattered into pieces. Misa tries standing down but her body got lifted in the air. A painful hit to the back when she gets collided with the wall. Groaning, the Akiyama tries to stand up.
