I really was too bold just now. Karura must have seen it.
But Pakura did not regret it. Given another chance, she would do the same thing again.
After Uchiha Yin joked around with Karura for a while, she was smiling again.

After the Chunin Ninja Exams ended yesterday, the Third Kazekage had discussed future Joint Chunin Ninja Exams with Hiruzen Sarutobi, then returned to Sunagakure.
