Smoke was in the air from Zaku's attack. "Alright fool. You had enough?" We could see the outline of Shino through the dust in the air. And his figure stood, much to Zaku's surprise.

Hm. Interesting. The smoke finally cleared enough to see Shino clearly. And little weird sounds could be heard. What the heck is happening? I looked around for the source of the noise. What could it be? It's so weird. Almost like . . . my eyes widened slightly before going back to normal. That's right; bugs.

Little bugs were crawling on Shino. Almost like they're coming from his body. "Great. Now that you've creeped us all out what's next?" Zaku asked. But I could see him worry.

Zaku turned to see a hoard of bugs coming up from behind him.

Shino held his hand out and on his finger was one of the bugs heading for Zaku. "They're a rare species of paralytic beetles that attack their pray in a swarm. Eating its chakra. An army of this size will suck you dry in less than a minute. You're only intelligent option is to forfeit the match. You can't fight two opponents at once. If you use your good arm on me, my friends will swarm you from behind."

Definitely not sure what to make of him. He's a strange one alright. My neck throbbed and my curse mark burned as I went back to Zaku's memories.

He was a poor child with no one to turn to. He had to steal food in order to survive. He was caught once when he ran into a dead end and was beaten severely. He was sick of it all. Of being treated so harshly for being alone. He hated the people in his village.

That's when he met Orochimaru. He saw potential in Zaku. He liked the look in his eyes. Orochimaru led Zaku away from his village in promise of making him stronger. And Zaku took that bait and left with him.

My curse mark slowly stopped throbbing and I continued to watch the match. Orochimaru turned Zaku into a horrible person. But Zaku allowed himself to become the person he is. For that I won't show him any pity.

He allowed himself to become Orochimaru's weapon and fought for him. He's killed ninja from far and wide. He did everything to not disappoint Orochimaru.

He's still going to lose. No matter how much he doesn't want to. Leaf ninja's are not to be messed with.

Zaku screamed and held his good hand towards Shino. "Now you've made me mad!" He shouted and held his other hand towards the bugs. Oh? He managed to use his other hand. I guess losing is something he cannot bear.

My eyes widened and I leaned closer to the rail. "Uh-oh." I mumbled. Naruto, Sakura, and Lee looked at me curiously. "What is it?" Sakura asked.

I sighed. "Zaku's chakra is out of control. He pushed himself too much and it's about to backfire. His chakra on his upper arms is spewing out madly. His arms are completely useless now and they may never recover. But I think Shino had something to do with it as well."

Zaku yelled in pain and fear about his arms. He looked at his hands and that's when we saw the bugs in the hole of his hands.

"Earlier when I was distracting you with my helpful advice, I was also sending some of my little friends to plug up those bothersome wind holes in your hands. Both hands just to be sure. You see while an ace in the hole is good, two aces are better."

You know I'd almost consider Shino to be cruel. Shino hit Zaku to the floor. I closed my eyes. It's over. Zaku has lost.

"Winner is Shino Aburame." Hayate said. The outcome was predictable. It's hard to win against a bug tamer.

Then Naruto started saying he can't wait to get a shot at him. I sweat dropped. All he wants to do is fight people. Why is that? Every time someone shows promise he wants to fight them. I sighed. Same old Naruto.

"Alright everyone. We're moving on to the third match." Poof. We turned to see Kakashi behind us. "Oh, hey Kakashi." I said casually. He nodded. "Miyu have you had your match yet?" I shook my head. I know why he asked. He wants to seal my mark soon just like he probably did Sasuke's.

"Well?! What about Sasuke is he alright?!" Sakura asked. I looked at Kakashi curiously, a bit worried about Sasuke. Kakashi looked my way and gave a cocky closed eye smile. "He's fine. He's sleeping soundlessly in the infirmary."

I blushed a bit and turned fast to the screen. Damn him.

Huh? "Oh look . . . its kitty boy." I said nonchalantly. My team looked at the screen as well. I watched as Kabuto's other teammate and kitty boy made their way down.

I smirked and waved. "Good lucky kitty boy!" I hollered. Kankuro looked up at me and shot me a glare. I only smirked at it. Ha!

My team and some others were looking at me weirdly and Sakura sighed from next to me. "You know he doesn't like you so why do you have to provoke him?" she asked.

I just shrugged in response. "It's fun. Something to do for amusement."

She fell. I frowned and sniffed the air. Confusion clear on my face. Kakashi noticed. "What is it?" he asked. My frown deepened. "Kitty boy's opponent's chakra smells like rubber. It's weird." I stated.

"Alright, if you're ready, let the third match begin."
