The clash between the Kirigakure ninja ended quickly.
Hozuki Zangetsu was no match for Juzo Biwa.
With barely any suspense, Zangetsu was crushed.
Wielding the Kubikiribōchō given to him by Kirigakure, Juzo used his skill with the blade to leave Zangetsu reeling.
Zangetsu did use the Hydrification Technique to hold out for a while, drawing a burst of admiration from the crowd.
But he still couldn't stop Juzo's attacks.
After all, Zangetsu didn't have enough chakra to maintain the Hydrification Technique indefinitely.
"Rasa, Hozuki Tangetsu."
Rasa and Hozuki Tangetsu leaped into the center of the arena.
"The third round of the second Chunin Ninja Exams match begins."
Yuhi Shinku made the announcement, carrying out his duties to the letter.
By then, Pakura had regained her composure and returned to Karura's side.
Still, traces of what had happened showed on Pakura's face.
She looked nothing like she had before her fight with Sara. It was as though she had finally set a worry aside.
That made Karura intensely curious.
"Pakura, what did Uchiha Yin say to you just now?"
"Are you and Uchiha Yin together now?"
"What did it feel like when Uchiha Yin held your hand?"
"Are you going to stay in Konoha?"
The moment Pakura came over, Karura fired off questions like a machine gun.
"Karura, keep it down. People are trying to watch the fight." Pakura hurriedly covered Karura's mouth.
"Oh, come on. Everyone around us is watching just fine, and they're cheering way louder than I am. What are you afraid of?" Karura pouted.
"Do you want me to tell you or not?" Pakura shot her a look.
"Of course I do! What did you and Uchiha Yin talk about when you went off together?" Karura instantly turned obedient and waited for Pakura's answer.
"Hehe. Come closer,"
