You step into the Chunin Exam arena. The other Konoha ninja eye you as you prepare to face Sasuke.

Naruto (grinning): "Heh, good luck! But I'm gonna beat you and Sasuke!"

Sakura (cheering): "Do your best... but Sasuke's gonna win!"

Rock Lee (bowing respectfully): "Fight with honor!"

Neji (coldly): "Fate has already chosen the winner."

Shikamaru (sighing): "Tch. Just don’t make this a drag."

Choji (munching food): "Good luck... I guess!"

Kiba (grinning): "Bring it! But don’t think you’ll outshine me!"

Hinata (softly): "Good luck..."

Shino (calm): "I care only for efficiency."

Ino (glaring, then looking at Sasuke dreamily): "As long as Sasuke wins, whatever."

TenTen (shrugs): "Show us what you’ve got."

(Sasuke steps forward, cold and focused.)

Sasuke (flatly): "Don’t waste my time."

Hayate (coughing, getting ready to begin the fight.)
