Kagasei chuckled silently to himself as he turned to the Hokage for his final speech, they young boy was getting almost excited for his final match against Minato. The Hokage explained that the final matches for each village would take place in three days at a large Arena that had been built in Konohagakure. Each Kage would be attending to watch the Grand Finals and the Hokage expressed to the two young finalists that they needed to be ready and prepared to show off their best. 

During the days leading up to his final fight, Kagasei trained more than he had ever before. Usually closing himself off in a training room with his blade for the entire day. He would take time to meditate, ponder his strategies and hone his skills. Himawari was concerned about the young Genin and his sudden isolation, but understanding how important this was for the young boys, she didn't want to bother him. 

The three days passed and it was time for the final match to decide the winner. Himawari ushered the two into the large arena building, taking them to the contestant's waiting area, which had a view of the battleground. It was much larger then the small area used in their previous fights. Kagasei looked out over the arena, focusing his mind on his fight to come. Taking a moment to look over at Minato with a determined expression, letting his teammate know that he was not going to be backing down.
