Minato had listened to Lord Hokage intently to the degree of ignoring all else. He admired this man and while his duty was to his family he wanted to be Hokage in the same way his mother had before him. When it came time for him to pull the number he smiled slightly and pulled the number and proceeded to the number 8 slot to write his name. When he returned to his team he looked directly at Kagasei and activated his sharingan to show his teammate he was serious. 
"Kagasei Momochi," he began catching his teammates eye. "You had better meet me in the finals. No losing to anyone. I want us to finally prove once and for all who the better shinobi is." As he finished a determined smile spread across his face and he could feel the eyes of the others in the room around them as they all turned to look their way.
