2 Years Later
It has been two years since Yukina joined the academy. She enjoyed her time in the academy and learned about all different kinds of shinobi arts.
Every day after class, Yukina either stayed behind to train in the training ground or she went to the academy library to study there.
Yukina did very well on the final exam of her first year in the academy, so Shinji transferred Yukina to the advanced class.
Today was the graduation exam day. Yukina walked slowly to her class because the exam would start in an hour. She was not in a hurry to go to the class.
"I wonder what kind of exam the graduation exam is. The way Kojiro sensei was looking at us when he announced the exam was quite strange. I don't know why I have a bad feeling about this exam." Yukina ponders to herself.
"There's no point in thinking about it right now; I should wait patiently for the exam." After making up her mind, Yukina continued walking to the academy.
_______
At 9 a.m
Yukina was the last one to enter the class. When Kojiro saw her, he nodded his head in satisfaction. He then said, "Good, no one is late. Now follow me; we are going to the Mist Arena. Your graduation exam will be held there."
Yukina and the rest of the students nodded, and they followed the instructor towards the Mist Arena.
_____
In the Mist Arena
Yukina and the other students arrived at the Mist Arena.
Yukina looked around the arena, and she noticed the Third Muzikage was present along with some Jounins and Chunins.
"SWISH, SWISH, SWISH, SWISH, SWISH."
"PENG, PENG, PENG, PENG, PENG."
All of a sudden countless Kunais flew towards the edge of the arena and stabbed the arena's ground.
Yukina and the other students were surprised when they saw this, then the Third Muzikage stood up and said to them, "All of you are going to fight against each other to the death; no one is allowed to leave this arena until we say so. Do I make myself clear?"
Yukina and the other students were shocked when they heard this; at the same time, a kid sneaked into the arena without them noticing.
However, the Muzikage and the shinobi present noticed the kid; one of the Jounins looked at the Muzikage and asked, "Muzikage-sama, do you want me to throw the kid out of the Mist Arena?"
The Muzikage shook his head and said to the Jounin, "No need; it doesn't matter whether he dies or survives."
The Jounin nodded his head in understanding after hearing this.
The Muzikage then yelled loudly to the students, "Now begin!"
All the students rushed towards the edge of the arena at their fastest speed to grab some of the Kunais to attack the other students.
When Yukina saw this, she narrowed her eyes, and then she rushed to the edge of the arena too at her fastest speed.
"If killing these kids will prevent me from dying again, so be it; I will kill each one of them." Yukina said to herself in a resolute tone.
"BAAM."
Yukina kicked a skinny-looking boy in front of her hard, and the boy fell hard on the ground.
She then quickly grabbed two kunais from the ground and started slaughtering the students near to her without mercy with the two kunais.
"SLIT, SLIT, SLIT, SLIT, SLIT."
"PU, PU, PU, PU, PU."
Yukina started slitting the throats and stabbing the hearts of the students in front of her with her kunais.
Yukina was moving around the students like she was dancing every time she swung her kunais; she killed a student.
The Muzikage smirked when he saw Yukina's performance; he then asked Kojiro, "Who is this little girl?"
Kojiro bowed his head respectfully, and he replied to the Third Muzikage, "The girl's name is Yukina Muzikage-sama; she is an incredibly talented girl and top of her class ."
The Third Muzikage nodded his head in satisfaction when he heard this.
His eyes then widened in shock when he saw the performance of the kid who sneaked into the arena.
Unlike Yukina's elegant display of kunai-wielding skills, the kid was savage like a demon, killing without any discrimination.
The kid noticed Yukina's skill with the Kunais; he then gave a bloodthirsty smirk and charged at her.
"CLANK."
Yukina blocked the kid's kunai strike with her own kunai, but the force behind the kid's kunai strike forced her to take a step back.
She was surprised at the kid's physical strength, and then the boy started swinging his Kunais at Yukina like a mad demon with the intent to kill.
Yukina blocked the kunai strikes with her own kunai, then she started fighting back using her own kunai.
"CLANK, CLANK, CLANK, CLANK, CLANK."
Yukina didn't compete with the kid in physical strength; she used her flexibility, agility, and technique to deflect the kunai strikes and fight back against the kid.
All the remaining students stopped fighting and watched the fight between Yukina and the kid.
One of the academy instructors asked the Third Muzikage, "Muzikage sama, should we stop the exam? Only 26 students are alive."
The Third Muzikage shook his head and said, "Not yet. I want to observe the fight between the kid and this little girl for a bit. I will stop the exam after I am satisfied with their performance."
"CLANK, CLANK, CLANK, CLANK."
Yukina saw an opening while she was exchanging kunai strikes with the boy, and she kicked him hard in the chest.
"BAAM."
The boy fell to the ground after Yukina kicked him hard in the chest.
Yukina then thrust her kunai at the kid's throat to finish him once and for all.
The kid rolled on the ground When Yukina thrust her kunai at his throat, dodging Yukina's kunai thrust, he then kicked her hard in her stomach.
Yukina skidded backward after getting kicked by the boy while gritting her teeth in pain.
The Third Muzikage nodded his head in satisfaction after seeing their clash; he stood up and yelled, "That is enough; the exam ends here. All of you who are still alive passed the graduation exam."
Yukina and the remaining students sighed in relief, except for the kid.
"Damn this old man, it was getting fun fighting this girl." The kid thought to himself while narrowing his eyes in annoyance.
One of the academy instructors then walked towards the students and handed the hidden Mist headbands to each of them.
After handing out the headbands to them, the Muzikage continued, "Tomorrow each of you will attend a special training camp. This training camp is called Wartime Training Camp. The training camp will start at 8 a.m. tomorrow. You all are dismissed for today. You may all leave except for you." The Muzikage pointed his finger at the kid who fought against Yukina.
Yukina and the students nodded their heads; they bowed to the Muzikage and left the arena.
