Kirigishi Katsu vs. Akado Yoroi, read the banner. The first fight. The other genin and the various jounin sensei ascended onto the walkways from where they'd await their turns and watch the bouts, respectively.
The two genin left in the arena sized one-another up for a moment, before Hayate asked whether they were both ready. Yoroi nodded. Katsu did likewise a moment after he'd tightened the straps of the armored gauntlet on his right forearm.
Shuriken flashed, even as the younger genin leapt back ... only for the projectiles to skitter harmlessly away when Katsu swatted them out of the air with the gauntlet.
Then Yoroi was on him, dull glow outlining his right hand in a faint light even as he thrust it forward, using the fact that his opponent's main weapon was seemingly out of alignment and his left hand was empty.
In the audience, Kakashi's one eye went wide as he saw Katsu's unarmored hand contort into a short and unfamiliar series of what looked like bastardized seals before he mirrored Yoroi's action, meeting the older genin's right hand with his left, locking their fingers together as gloved palms smacked into one-another ...
Yoroi's mask prevented any expression from showing, but the sense of smugness that could first be perceived as the palms of their hands met was momentarily replaced by a frown, to be changed into a grimace a split-second after ... before the older nin physically recoiled, left hand grasping desperately at the spasming right, and head going back ...
"AUGHHHHHHH, IT BURNS!!!!"
Katsu's gauntleted hand closed, making a fist, and armored knuckles smashed into the older nin's still screaming opponent's face with a resounding *crack* of breaking bone.
A moment later, Yoroi was a still slightly twitching heap on the ground, the skin of his right arm faintly ... steaming?
Katsu shook off faint wisps that rose from his left hand with a faint wince, and looked to Hayate.
Yoroi kept whimpering in pain, but didn't get up.
A chakra absorbtion technique getting directly intercepted by a technique that relies on flashing a heavy load of hot chakra into the target? The results speak for themselves.
I'd written that Gaara vs Katsu bout scene with the intention of having it happen after the others - since Gaara basically goes apeshit at the dismissal, because he'd been denied a fight in the prelims, and was now being brushed off like that.
