3rd person POV:
Hinata:...
Unmoving, Hinata after getting struck down by Neji, laid lifeless on the ground.
Neji won as Hinata was getting taken away to receive immediate medical care.
Kiryu: Tch!
Leaping off the balcony, Kiryu lands in front of Neji.
Neji:?
Kiryu: Why?
Neji: Why what?
Kiryu: Why did you take it too far?
Neji: We were supposed to fight as if it was to the death.
Kiryu: No... That wasn't the reason.
Neji: Tch, who do you think you are? What you or that red-haired one did, is no different from this.
Neji: Putting the weak, and unskilled in their place.
Kiryu: The redhead one fought an equal... I knocked out my opponent.
Kiryu: You hospitalized someone who didn't stand a chance of defeating you!
Neji: So you agree? She doesn't deserve to be here.
Kiryu: She might not have had the power... But her strength was beyond yours.
Neji: Be silent, you brute. You have only power, no actual skill.
Kiryu:...
Neji: And again... What makes you any different from me?
Kiryu: I didn't fight with malicious intent.
Neji:?
Kiryu: It was written all over your face.
Neji;(glares)
Hiruzen: Enough. You all may settle this next month. In front of everyone when the final part of the exam begins.
Kiryu:...
Neji: He's right, you ape. I'll put you in your place then.
Kiryu:...
(Several minutes ago...)
Hinata:(mind) It might be impossible... But I'll give it all I got!
Hinata:(mind) So I can stand next to him... My hero... Kiryu.
Kiryu:?
(Present day)
Kiryu: If you step forth to face me... I won't hold back.
Neji:(smirks) Neither will I.
(Opening theme)
Kiryu: Sensei!
Kakashi: Hm?
Having caught up to Kakashi, Kiryu asked his sensei an important question.
Kiryu: I would like your aid in training a new technique.
Kakashi: Uhhh... About that...
Kakashi: I've already planned on training Majima. I believe I can do much more for him than for you.
Kiryu: Eh?
Kakashi: Listen, I already believe you have the power to win if you gave it you're all.
Kakashi: You just need to keep up your basic workout for the coming month.
Kiryu: This technique has nothing to do with the exam.
Kakashi: Huh?
Kiryu: When I fought Kuze... And again in the forest against that snake man.
Kiryu: I tapped into some kind of power. And my tattoo crawled up my arm.
Kakashi:...
Kakashi: Then I'm afraid I'm even more useless to you.
Kakashi: That power is beyond anything I could possibly teach you.
Kiryu: Understood... I'll figure it out on my own.
Kakashi: No.
Kiryu:?
Kakashi: That power is very dangerous. To you and the village.
Kakashi: I promise, I'll find you someone who can properly help you with that training.
Kakashi: Until then, do not train with that ability without the supervision of someone who can deal with it.
Kiryu:...
Kakashi: Understood?
Kiryu:... Hmph. Very well.
Kakashi: I'm sorry...
Kiryu:...
Kakashi:...(sigh)... Fine, since you are one of my darlings students, and I don't want to play favorites...
Kakashi: I'll give you something to work on.
Kiryu: Hm?
Kakashi pulls out a piece of paper and a one-page manual with an illustration on it.
Kakashi: Take the paper, put your chakra through it. And then compare the paper's reaction to the chart.
Kakashi: And you'll see what kind of chakra element you have.
Kakashi: Maybe go to the hot spring to practice water walking without any styles.
Kiryu: Alright.
The two-part ways to focus on their separate training, Kiryu however makes one more stop.
Iruka: Alright students-
(Slam)
Kiryu: Iruka-sensei!
Iruka: Kiryu!?
Iruka: Shouldn't you be taking the Chunin-
Kiryu: I've completed that, I now must wait for a month for the final matches.
Iruka: Th-that's great, can we talk about this later? I'm in the middle of a class.
Kiryu:(turns to Academy students)
Kiryu: I simply have a question, it won't take long.
Iruka: Uhm... Sure. Class, go over your homework to make sure everything is done correctly.
He walks Kiryu out of the class.
Iruka: What's your question?
Kiryu: Do you know about me being a gin-churro-kin?
Iruka: Jinchuriki? Y-yes, but I'm not really allowed to talk about that.
Kiryu: Don't worry. I simply want to know if you can teach me to use that power.
Iruka: Uhrm... Kiryu, though I'm glad you came to me for help, I'm afraid that is beyond anything I can teach you.
Kiryu: Oh...
Iruka: Why do you want to use that power anyway?
Kiryu:... Because... It's so rad!
Iruka:...
Kiryu: Thank you for your time. I'll see if I can handle this on my own.
Leaving, Kiryu headed to the hot springs. There he immediately entered the mixed bath fully clothed and stepped on the edge of the hottest spring.
He takes out the paper he was given by Kakashi and stares at it.
???:(in the distance) Perv!
Kiryu:?
Looking up a wall, Kiryu saw a man looking down in the woman's side of the spring.
???:(in the distance) Wait, there's a logical explanation for-ugh!
Kiryu:?
Struck with some kind of object, the man fell back, straight into the spring Kiryu stood in front of.
(SPLASH)
The paper he held was destroyed by the water.
Kiryu:...
The man then climbed out of the spring.
???: Jeez... I wasn't even looking at that old sagging hag...
Kiryu places a hand on his shoulder, stopping the man from walking off.
???: Huh?
Kiryu: Oi, pervy asshole. You owe me a new paper.
???:... Eh?
???: Sorry, kid, I don't have time to deal with you, I have research to conduct.
He knocks away Kiryu's hand and walks back to the wall he was on to peep at the women.
Kiryu: What are doing?
???: Taking advantage of the best part of being a shinobi!
???: The "reconnaissance".
Kiryu: You think I'm just going to let you walk past me after you ruined a part of my training, so you can peep on a few girls?
???:.... Kinda, yeah.
Kiryu:(cracks knuckles)
???:(chuckles)... You know who I am, right?
Kiryu: No.
???: Hmm... It's the wet hair, isn't it?
Kiryu: No-
???: Perhaps this will make it obvious!
He poses.
???: I am the legendary toad sage! Jiraiya! Lover of sexy babes! And one of the greatest shinobi to have ever lived!
(Legendary Sannin of Toads: Jiraiya)
(Kage-Class Shinobi)
Kiryu:....
Jiraiya: Well-
Punching Jiraiya across the face, Kiryu sends the sannin flying into a wall.
Jiraiya:(grunts)!
Kiryu: I've beaten old men like you to a pulp before. I'll do it again.
Jiraiya:(rubs nose)
Jiraiya:(mumbles) Did Tsunade have a brat or something... Agh...
Jiraiya: Alright... It looks like I have to teach you some manners kid.
Kiryu: That's some talk coming from a pervert!
Jiraiya: I am an enthusiast of beauty, not a perv.
Kiryu: Call it what you want, you're a perv to me.
Kiryu: Now step forth you want to die!
