"That's her... Isn't it?" The upperclassmen behind them said. Kawaki answered with an "Mhmm."

Boruto watched as she was the first to finish and by a good amount too. "I didn't know she was that good." Mitsuki said catching a look from everyone. "What? Boruto beat us by a second or two. She probably beat them by a few seconds. That is impressive, don't you think?" Mitsuki stated as he continued to watch.

The coaches split everyone up into individual teams by what they said their strengths were. Sarada was a wing shooter, and she was happy to finally be placed as one. On her old team, she had to bring the ball up every single time. It was aggravating that they couldn't just have Sumire do it like she protested.

Sarada's team was number 7 and they were going up against the other upperclassmen. Three on three scrimmage. They used both courts and Sarada's team was moved away from where Boruto and them were sitting, so they moved and a lot of the other players did as well.  Sarada then realized, they were watching her team.

"Team 7 v/s Team 13... Go!" Sarada started with the ball and passed to wasabi who instantly passed to Sarada. She ran to the ball and made a lay up. Point 1.  The game between team 7 and 13 went back and forth. They had to end at number 10 and it was 9-8, team 13.  Sarada looked at Wasabi to roll the ball to her which she did. She had seen Naruto Uzumaki do this, but she tweaked it. She walked to the ball, grabbed it fast and ran down the court then stopped, causing the girl in front of her to fall. She jumped for it and it felt solid. She shot and it was in. 9 - 9.

It was the other teams ball and she could feel the gazes of the other teams that had already played looking at her. The underclassmen were meant to be defeated, but this team was keeping the play alive. In fact, they had been playing for 20 minutes already. They started a count down and that really didn't help her stress.

Sarada told Wasabi to switch with her, and don't go after the player, go for the pass. She was hesitant, but she did as she was told.  The upperclassmen did a move and passed to a teammate, but Wasabi interjected and passed to Sarada. Sarada had a break away, but the upperclassmen made it to the spot she was headed.

She had to think... a fast, out of the way move. What move could she- 

Her hands followed her thoughts. Fake step, through the legs out the back to the left and high up. Her hands followed her mind and the ball passed straight to Wasabi. The guys in the stands stood up as Wasabi grabbed the ball and scored with the pass in the air. 

The Share-an-gone.  A move created by her family and used for generations.  It is faster that the eyes can clearly see. And my god was it hard to see the ball get to Wasabi. The buzzer alarmed and that was game. 9 - 10, Team 7.

"Holy-" Konohamaru started as cheering and applause erupted in the stands. Wasabi looked a her and hugged her "Oh my god! You're amazing!" She yelled. Sarada was confused as to why the pass was so great.

Well, what she didn't realize, was that the pass she made went right through two defenders and was accurately placed in front of Wasabi.  It was the most unpredictable move they had seen all day... and that was saying something.

"Holy shit!" Kawaki yelled standing up and so did some other teammates. Boruto was stuck in amazement. Not because of the move (well sure it was great), but because of Sarada's face. She looked like she had no clue that it had worked. She looked as surprised as everyone in the stands.

The coach had called everyone back to finish the tests and that was the day. A very long day in fact. They were going to be back in the gym for more test later in the night, but it was 12 pm and time for lunch.  Sarada packed her things as a ton of people asked her questions like, "How did you do that?!" and "Could you teach me that shit?!" Along with many more annoying questions.
