Zaku's arms were smashed to pieces and he was enveloped in flames while crying and rolling on the ground.
"Uhmm, I think Uchiha Sasuke is the winner ..." - Jonin the Scattered
After he said that, the medical ninja rushed towards Zaku and put out the fire.
Then they took him on a stretcher and left.
His burns are severe and both of his arms are completely gone, but he will most likely survive the swift actions of a medical ninja.
"Sadly, this fool Zaku is overconfident and underestimates him, almost like he forgot how he was destroyed by him before.." - Dosu.
"WHAT?? HE KAKASHI-SENSEI, WHAT HAPPENED?? WHAT DID SASUKE DO?" - Naruto
"Haaa..did you not see the thread?" - Kakashi
"What's? What thread? Hey Sakura, what is he talking about?" - Naruto
While Naruto was still talking, Kakashi appeared next to Sasuke and told the medical ninja, who wanted to take care of Sasuke, that he would do it himself.
Meanwhile near Eiji: "Wow, I really didn't expect Sasuke to win this.." - Kotaru.
'Sasuke looks pretty devastated, but that makes his turnaround all the more impressive. And the scariest thing was that he would continue to grow stronger!' - Lee
'Producing such a swift counterattack in just seconds while in danger, really reminds me of you Kakashi.' - Man
"I mean, it would be a great shame for our village if someone from the legendary Uchiha clan lost to the hands of spaghetti.." - Eiji.
"Spaghetti arm? I think his arm looks more like a fart cannon." - Arina
"Eh, Arina! Girls should not talk about farts and such!" - Kotaru
"I'm glad you enjoyed watching this fight Eiji, but I still need to talk to you.." - Tenten with a scary smile reminded everyone that he was here too.
'Damn it. I completely forgot about it!'
Eiji looked towards sensei for help, but Hayate instead told him that he would look for some clothes for him and disappear.
'TRAITOR!!!'
Eiji was discreet, so he could only apologize now: "I know I was a bit of a bad friend from the beginning of this Chunin exam, but earlier I was just kidding! Nothing happened between me and the chief exam officer, I swear! "
"..." - Ten and ten
This silence really made him feel like he could die at any moment.
But he still had his ultimate trump card when it came to Tenten, so he said: "Alright, I get it, I'll treat you to whatever you want after this exam."
"...I want sesame dumplings."
When Kakashi goes with Sasuke to treat his curse mark, the name of the next fighter is displayed.
Haruno Sakura vs Yamanaka Ino!
The odds for the same match as in the original timeline are actually much higher than getting a new match.
It is like having a deck of 20 cards and you always draw 2 cards.
Then without shuffling the deck, you just add 3 cards randomly into the same deck and start drawing 2 more cards.
But somehow, even though the opponent was the same, their match was earlier than the original timeline.
After all, Eiji knew that this match was very boring, so he just sat on the ground and leaned against the wall.
'This wall is very soft...I wonder if it's a bed before it becomes a wall..."
Eiji slowly began to fall asleep, until Lee who was nearby began to cheer Sakura up loudly.
"Ah man, hey Tenten, can't you tell your teammates to stop too hard? I can't sleep like that!" - Eiji
"WHAT??!! CHILD, MOTIVATED AND SHOUTING WITH YOUR FULL SPIRIT IS ALL ABOUT TEENAGERS!!!"
"Yes, tell him, Guy-sensei!"
Tenten just shrugged his shoulders.
He then sees Neji who finally accepts that his team will continue to live next to Eiji, so he joins them as well.
When Neji saw Eiji asking him with his gaze to do something about the tough Lee, he ignored him.
'This fucking arrogant bastard! Well, I will show you all, that this will not stop me from sleeping through this boring match!'
He then tried to ignore all the surrounding sounds and actually managed to fall asleep.
Meanwhile on the dueling stage.
Sakura recalls her time at the academy, where she was bullied before Ino chased away the bullies and helped her collect flowers for the kunoichi class.
'Ino..that day, you helped me to believe in myself, and I've been holding on to that ever since.' (the tape Ino gave him).
Unfortunately, he also suddenly recalled how a boy spewed out all the flowers they collected on the same day.
"..."
Automatically his eyes look towards Eiji, who is sleeping soundly by simply wearing ****** ********.
