What Are You Looking At?

The sudden turn of events on the field drew a series of gasps from the spectators.

No one had expected Sasuke to suddenly interrupt just as Haku and Rock Lee's spar had reached a crucial moment. What's more, he had even thrown a challenging look at the Ninja Academy's top student!

"Sasuke, that guy..."

Neji's expression darkened.

He didn't like Sasuke interrupting the match between Rock Lee and Haku. It was clearly disrespectful.

"Is Sasuke challenging Shinji?"

Yakumo was startled.

She had privately asked Tsunade whether she could challenge Shinji, and Tsunade had told her to keep a low profile as much as possible.

After all, the top student's dignity couldn't be infringed upon!

So she had never expected Sasuke to be so bold as to challenge Shinji so directly in front of everyone.

The Jonin at the edge of the field wore a variety of expressions.

Might Guy furrowed his brow slightly.

Though Sasuke's interruption of Rock Lee and Haku's match was extremely rude, it also showed how formidable his Taijutsu was. Under those circumstances, an ordinary person wouldn't have been able to get involved, let alone suppress both Rock Lee and Haku as effortlessly as Sasuke had.

"Hmph, Uchiha!"

Asuma snorted, clearly displeased with Sasuke's arrogance.

Kurenai looked at Shinji, standing in a nearby tree, her expression thoughtful.

Kakashi was the most troubled of all. When he saw Sasuke boldly step forward to challenge Shinji, worry flashed in his eyes.

He wanted to know what Shinji was hiding, too, but he didn't want Sasuke to be the one to test him!

On the field.

Haku and Rock Lee were both astonished.

But compared to Rock Lee, Haku was much calmer. He had sensed someone was about to interfere before Sasuke made his move; he just hadn't expected it
