    Arc III Chapter 13

    ━━━━━━┛???┗━━━━━━i, are you an idiot, or what?” Katsusane exploded. He didn’t approve of her actions. “Was this necessary? We know each other hardly an hour, and you already try your best to get us killed!”

    “What do you mean, Katsusane?” Asami tilted her head in blissful ignorance. Her finger touched her chin.

    Katsuane clenched his fists, furious. “Do I have to spell it out for you?” Asami was playing with him, and he accepted her challenge, a stupid decision. Things couldn’t get worse, but he was sadly mistaken.

    Her attention turned to her team mates. Their faces had paled considerably. Blank fear gripped them. They made her feel a tiny bit guilty. After all, their current state was her fault entirely. Time to do something. “Hisaaki, Katsusane, look, no need to hang your heads. Rest assured, I will bring you through the exams. Somehow.”

    “...” Hisaaki and Katsusane exchanged worried looks. They didn''t feel reassured at all, quite the contrary. Understandably so.

    Asami beamed. “Trust me, as long as I am here, no harm will befall you ... Listen, my friends, don’t even think about it. If you three pull off anything funny in front of me, you will regret it.” Her eyes narrowed her eyes at the three Oto-nin. They caught her attention. Their hands were itching itched for a fight. They didn''t take kindly to her words.

    “So you can not only bark, but also bite.” One of the Oto-nin smirked, taunting her. It was a boy without remarkable features.

    Asami chuckled, amused. “Isn''t that a bit rich coming from a nobody like you? Of course, you are welcome to try your luck should you be stupid enough.”

    The Oto-nin grabbed a kunai. “You asked for it! We will make you pay for your arrogance right here, right now ...”

    A cloud of smoke interrupted them, revealing a group of grey coated ninja. The examiners had arrived, among them was Ibiki.

    “...” The man narrowed his eyes, addressing the room. For a moment, his eyes rested on her, far longer than necessary. “As much as I look forward to you killing and murdering each other, I must nevertheless ask to postpone your little argument. This is neither the place, nor the time, to fight. After all, we don''t want things to get messy. Now, everybody, take your seats! We have already wasted enough time as things stand. The chunin exams are about to start.”
