Minato smiled as he watched the battles unfold and one by one the other shinobi fell to one another in great displays of power and skill. The one he paid the most attention to however, was that of his now rival Kagasei. The young shinobi moved that monsterous sword so quickly it shouldn't be possible. [i] That speed and the raw strength is just like him. All in until you're opponent is done. Just like the way they fought in the war. [/i] he thought as he watched the end of the match. After the match he and Himawari sensei dropped down to see him and congratulate him on the win. 
"You did wonderfully Kagasei!" Himawari said smiling.
"Yeah but did you really have to take out the meat cleaver for Juzo?" Minato teased slightly.
