When the crowd saw Ice Release, excitement spread across their faces.
They recalled Pakura's outstanding performance in the first match.
Would Minazuki Yo put on an equally impressive showing?
"But doesn't that put our Konoha ninja in danger?"
"Exactly! Won't our Konoha ninja be in danger? I heard she's only been training for six months."
Some of the Konoha spectators looked deeply worried.
Minazuki Yo was quite pleased to hear the crowd talking about him.
He had always liked showing off. Why else would he have made an entrance like that?
Laying a path with Ice Release cost Chakra, however simple it looked. Even with his mastery of Ice Release keeping the cost low, it took more effort than simply jumping or walking down.
Anyone practical would have chosen the easiest, least costly approach. Minazuki Yo chose this troublesome one instead.
A path of ice and an elegant, aristocratic smile—what could make for a grander entrance?
Minazuki Yo was clearly delighted with the way he had arrived.
Wasn't raising his profile part of why he had entered the Chunin Exam?
Indeed, his aim in entering the Chunin Ninja Exams was to make a name for himself and satisfy his vanity.
When he learned he had drawn Kaguya as his opponent, he was thrilled.
He had looked into her. She was just a rookie who had trained for less than two years. How strong could she be?
Sara hadn't looked very strong, either. Even with the Ten Puppets of Chikamatsu someone had given her, she couldn't beat a Scorch Release user. Wasn't that proof she was weak?
Minazuki Yo had fought neither Sara nor Pakura. He had no idea how strong they were and assumed he could handle them.
Otherwise, he would never have wasted Chakra on such a pointless display.
