-Story Start-

-Third Person POV-

There were barely forty minutes left before the start of the Chunin Exams.

The sun cast long shadows through the Academy Building's tall windows, filling the hallways and rooms with a warm, golden glow.

A warmth that sharply contrasted the situation at hand.

Even now, some of the participants are eager enough to fight each other.

In a particularly spacious hallway in the Academy Building, there stood Sasuke, Akira, Sakura, and Rock Lee.

Guided by the latter to this place to engage in a fight.

Sasuke, or is he Nara Akira? stood across from the spandex-donned Shinobi.

The atmosphere was tense, as the confrontation could begin at any moment.

-Akira POV-

In my life, very few examples embody the phrase "a wolf in sheep's clothing" as well as this one.

Apart from the obvious example of Faceless.

Might Guy and his student, Rock Lee, epitomize that term.

Truth be told, I'm not surprised Sasuke didn't correct Lee's mistake or my... Misdirection.

The inquisitive and excited smirk on his face said it all...

"Yosh! I will test my skills against you! Genius of the Nara Clan!" Lee exclaimed seriously, his fists clenched in determination, yet the eccentric way he said it made it hard to take him seriously.

He turned to Sakura, who raised an eyebrow at his... Sudden nervous look?

Sakura immediately deciphered the meaning behind it and gave him a deadpan look, "Not interested," Her tone was flat and unyielding.

"Gah!"

...

"He's certainly... Something," I mutter aloud, turning to look at Sasuke to make sure he's not underestimating him.

Luckily he isn't, although the slight cringe on his expression was evident.

The tenseness of the atmosphere returned in full force as Lee got into a stance, declaring, "I have heard a lot about you, Nara Akira. They say you are the Strongest Genin, but even with your prowess, I will win!"

"...We'll see about that," Sasuke replied evenly, his eyes narrowed.

Both Sakura and I held our breaths, as Sasuke's muscles noticeably tensed.

Only for Lee to tilt his head in confusion mumbling, "Are you not going to summon those creatures of yours? Aren't you weak without them?"

...

I couldn't decide whether to feel pleased at being underestimated or insulted.

I guess I'll settle for both.

Sasuke, maintaining his impersonation of me, stated confidently, "Won't need them against you."

Lee's eyes narrowed dangerously as he retorted, "I hope you won't regret that!"
