44 [Sharingan vs Chakra Leech!]

"Everyone else except the two participants please vacate the area!" everyone except Sasuke and Yoroi left the area and stood on the balcony… The Konoha teams were further away from the statue of the seal of reconciliation… I stood with my team as Sasuke and Yoroi waited for Hayate-sensei's instruction to begin…

'Why are you coming here now...'

"Tobi-kun..." I did not turn towards her but instead focused on the fight ahead…

"Yes, Ino-san?"

'I know I sound like a douche but I am pretty pissed at her...'

"I am sorry for earlier..." seeing her break down a little, I turn towards her… according to her emotions, she is feeling regret and confusion…

*sigh*

"I'll always be your friend Ino-chan...but to me it looks like you need to figure some things out... *awkward pause* ...who do you reckon will win?"

I turn the topic away from the danger zone and focus back on the fight that was about to happen…

"Do you even need to ask?" A smirk formed on my face as I turned my attention on Sasuke and Yoroi… Sasuke's stance was relaxed, even though he hasn't fully recovered from the after-effects of the sealing process, he should be fine against such an opponent... They both seemed to be staring at each other before Sasuke apparently decided to end things quickly... as I could see chakra surging to his eyes which started bleeding red… Yoroi on the other hand used some form of jutsu as his hands were covered in blue chakra…

'Huh! This is weird… what is that jutsu...' I lean closely as I continued to examine the fight…

'Fire Release: Great fireball jutsu'

Sasuke fires a fireball straight at Yoroi and dashes towards him using it as a cover to approach him… He took out some shuriken from his weapons pouch and in a fluid motion threw them through the fireball straight at the presumed position of Yoroi…

'Huh! That guy certainly is quick...' As if anticipating the fire attack Yoroi jumped back and dashed aside before going back to fight Sasuke with taijutsu…

'So Kabuto was spying on all of us… so there is a possibility that his teammates are traitors as well...interesting, every time Sasuke gets even remotely in contact with that blue chakra, his chakra is stolen from him and consumed by Yoroi guy...'

Sasuke seems to have realized that he is being played and just optimized his attacks, so either they hit or Yoroi had to dodge to avoid crippling damage… The match became one-sided after that as Sasuke proceed to beat the crap out of Yoroi…

'I expected more from Kabuto's teammate...but I guess everyone can't be a prodigy...'

Sasuke seemed almost bored of the fight now and he suddenly vanished from Yoroi's vision with an impressive footwork feint and made a straight dash towards the ground in front of Yoroi … He bends down, almost hugs the ground, and then using the full force of his body kicks Yoroi upwards with his right leg…

'Okay, that was sick… I need to try that… so you need to do quite a lot of footwork to pull that off...'

"Lion's Barrage" Sasuke yelled as he slammed his heel on the torso of Yoroi as he slid back from the impact…

"Winner, Uchiha Sasuke..." Sasuke seemed pretty smug as his eyes faded into his normal dull grey color...

'No matter how smug you wanna look I know you damaged some of your muscles by pulling off that initial kick...but how did you manage to do that if your body is not used to it?'

Sasuke passed by us and Sakura and Naruto started being extra loud…

'Damn! Can't they keep it a little down!'

I caught the eye of Kakashi-san and signaled to him… SASUKE...MUSCLE...INJURED. He nodded and gave me an eye smile and I feel Kurenai-sensei rub my head and giving me a smile…

'See, Tobi is a good boy!'

"Not going to join them?"

'Don't think I haven't been watching you Ino...'

"No, as you said, I need to get my emotions sorted before I can do anything..."

'Huh! So she isn't a total brat...'

"Hmm… you're growing up princess...now only if grew at the place that matters..."

*Smack* *Smack*

I received two smacks for that, one from Kurenai-Sensei and the other from Ino-chan… I pout a little and turn away from both of them and focus on my only real Sensei and friend…

'Humph'

"*cough* now then, let's move onto the second fight!"

The names on the computer screen started rotating before it finally stopped at an interesting matchup…

[NARA SHIKAMARU VS HARUNO SAKURA]

'...well this one's easy to predict as well...'

"Man what a drag! Why do I have to fight a girl"

'Ouch!' I could feel the murderous glares of every female, Including Sensei, that heard his sentence point towards him…

Sakura seemed angry by his as she jumped down and waited for him to show up…

'Man for all that big brain, Shika sure is dumb...'

"So who are you supporting Ino-chan!" she ignored my statement and shouted at Sakura…

"Sakura beat the shit out of that lazy bum!"

'...yeah that about does it...stay safe Shika! If you manage to survive this, I'll toast to you brother for your bravery...'

"Are you guys ready!" Hayate-sensei confirmed with both sides if they were ready, then indicating that they can begin their attacks he jumped back and started observing the fight…

Shikamaru stood in the middle of the field with his arms crossed which enraged Sakura a lot…

'I can feel her temper increasing...so she has already fallen into your trap isn't that right, Shikamaru!'

'...'
