Standing nearby, Yuhi Shinku was speechless, a bead of sweat rolling down his forehead.
He had never imagined that this was how the two contestants would trade threats before the first match of the Chunin Exam's second round!
How had this turned into two women fighting over a man?
Fortunately, the spectators in the stands couldn't hear Sara and Pakura. Otherwise, they would probably have been just as speechless as Yuhi Shinku.
Ordinary people couldn't hear them, and neither could most Ninja. But Ninja with sufficient skill—or exceptionally sharp hearing—could make out their words.
Uchiha Yin watched Pakura, an amused smile playing at his lips.
"Just start already!" Sara and Pakura said together, turning toward Yuhi Shinku.
Yuhi Shinku's mouth twitched. Then he shouted, "First match, begin!"

A burst of white smoke erupted from the scrolls, and countless kunai shot toward Pakura.
"Just as I thought. No taste at all. You think fighting like that is enough to win Uchiha Yin's heart?"
Pakura's words were cutting. She gave a cold snort.
But her hands were already moving, flashing through hand seals until the technique was complete.

Pakura held a sphere lightly in each hand and tossed one toward Sara.
Even the spectators could feel the searing heat.

The expressions of several Ninja in the crowd turned grave.
A Ninja who could use a Kekkei Genkai
