It was a deeply contradictory feeling.
Kaguya led Sara and the others toward Uchiha Yin.
"A battle on this scale... Is it people from Kirigakure or Konoha?"
Pakura's expression grew grave as she felt the ground tremble.
For a fight to shake the ground even here in the Forest of Death, both sides had to be at least as strong as her team.
"We're going too," Rasa said, displeasure plain on his face.
"We already have enough scrolls to make the top four. I don't see any reason to go," Pakura shot back.
Clearly, Pakura's team held at least twenty-five scrolls. Otherwise, she could not have been certain they would make the top four.
Under those circumstances, staying away from the fighting was obviously the wisest choice.
"Sunagakure isn't here just to qualify. We're here to take first place. Anything less is meaningless."
"Two teams this strong must have plenty of scrolls. Whoever wins that fight could very well take first place in this exam," Rasa said.
Clearly, Rasa and the others still thought it was
"If we want first place, we have to go and defeat whoever is fighting over there," Rasa said coldly.
"Right, Karura?" Rasa glanced at her, a threat lurking in his eyes.
"Rasa, don't bully Karura. We'll go." Pakura shot him an irritated look.
"Hmph." Ignoring Pakura and Karura, Rasa set off first.
"Thank you, Pakura." Karura let out a breath of relief.
"You don't have to thank me. But are you really all right with this?" Pakura asked with a frown.
Karura managed a strained smile. "Maybe Rasa's just in a bad mood right now."
"You know what I mean." Pakura frowned again, annoyed that Karura had changed the subject.
"Forget it for now. We'd better follow him." Pakura headed after Rasa.
