He started to run, in the distance he saw how the midfielder from his team intercepted the ball and considered further moves ... this type of maneuvers practiced often in training, and now was the opportunity to test them on the battlefield. In the end it was a match for everything, a kind of mini championship final. Fight between Konoha and Sand teams.

They ran parallel, defeating the next meters of the pitch marked by direct clashes between the players and headed towards the opponent's goal occupied by Gaara with his incredible protection – a sand barrier. No one has managed to defeat this wall so far. Sand's team defended the champion at this year's competition for the third time in a row.

In the Sand penalty field there were only 2 opponents, the case was practically won, but the biggest problem was the goalkeeper,

well ... thought Midnight Blade, do not call me “lightning strike” for nothing ...

In his head there were pictures of trainings with master Guy, the concept of training speed over strength training, joint conversations, he was a trainer for him, a second father, a friend ...

Guy smiled slightly and said: Midnight Blade, with pure animal strength you can not do anything, on the pitch the speed, only speed and instinct of the attacker count. From the very beginning, as soon as I saw you moving around the pitch, I knew that you were created to score amazing goals, and that you might be the only one who would lead our team to the dream title.

The boy blushed slightly, he was only 8 years old ... from that moment passed another 3 years ... and he had a chance to meet the hopes set in him.

The first shot towards the goal was reflected from the barely visible barrier ... sand ... what is going on... shouted MB, the situation repeated twice more times ... two shots, both in goal area and both futile ... MB could do anything with the ball. He scored goals in all possible ways: with using right and left leg, from near and far distances, using head, after overtaking several opponents. However, he did not like to shoot penalty kicks or free kicks, he was basing on his speed.

For a moment he had a moment of hesitation, he was troubled by the attitude of his opponent, an opponent who did not move for a moment, but defended his shots.

His base speed proved to be insufficient, he tried again and again to shoot from outside the penalty area, curled shots, the barrier from the sand seemed to be alive, some intelligent being who was an excellent goalkeeper avatar.

The opponents definitely attacked him and they did not intend to let him go. Finally, however, he managed to outsmart them and fired at the approaching Gaara. The ball inevitably headed for the goal. - GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! GOAL as a perfection of victory! - shouted the commentator. The fans broke up from places! And then, at the last moment, the ball was kicked out of the field by a stream of sand coming out of the gourd! The fans began to howl with despair and whistle.

Team's midfielder throws the ball from the side line. The throw was far to the penalty area. At that moment time slowed down and just like in the movies the picture stopped. MB in an amazing jump shooting his head with unstoppable power. In Gaara's eyes one could see astonishment, but how is it even possible? - he thought ... but it was too late, the ball crossed the goal line. The impossible barrier did not help. In the Konoha team, the initial disbelief was replaced with shouts of joy, they nervously looked at the clock measuring the time of the game, more than 19 minutes.

87th minute of the match. Midnight Blade takes the ball on the foot in such a way that itself passes the first protector covering it, and then, as if playing jugglery, throws the ball over the head of the other and shoots from the air at the speed of thunder, Gaara had no chance once again . Goooooal! What a wonderful goal. In the 88th minute of the game, Konoha was winning 2-0 with the Sand team.

When the referee finished the match, madness broke out in the stands. Somewhere in the distance a strange sound began to grow slowly, trrrrrrrr trrrrrrrr at first quietly, in a moment to resound in the head of the MB more and more loud ...

He slowly opened his eyes, it was just a dream, the mysterious sound was just *arm clock standing on the cupboard next to his head. He quickly got out of bed, today is the first day of school, I can not be late. He smiled blissfully to himself and ran to greet the family.
