It was the confrontation to end all confrontations.
The genin gathered for the chunin exams cowered in various hiding places around the room. Ibiki, on arrival, had take one look and was currently trying to hide behind the blackboard. Anko, arriving a little later, was huddled in a corner at talking in a little girl voice to the bunnies and birdies...
The Uchiha prodigy against the pick of another village.
Naruto and one of the other prodigy's team mates had run aw- no, executed a tactical retrea- gone to play a prank. Yeah, that was it! A prank. Something well away from... that. Hinata was sheltering in the arms of an equally traumatized blond genin, having mistaken him for Naruto as a result of her disorientation.
"Hn," grunted the challenger. ~Fangirl.~ Sasuke translated, looking at the blonde girl hanging off his opponent's shoulder.
"Hn," he countered deftly. ~Double or nothing.~ Ino and Sakura squealed something about how cool he was as they hung off of him.
"Hn." ~In those shorts?~
Sasuke's eyes narrowed. This interloper was challenging his fashion sense? "Hn." ~Spandex?~
This was the critical moment. He had the advantage. The only risk was that the challenger could come back with some last minute counterstroke. But really, what would he say?
"I will kill you," Heero Yuy, genin of the Gundamgakure said flatly to Relena Peacecraft.
Sasuke twitched, conceding defeat. Dammit! he screamed mentally. How cann I find the strength to beat HIM when I am so WEAK!
