-Damn it! - Samui sighed, quickly sealing with her hands. - Lightning Release! Lightning Spear!
Suigetsu easily dodged, but Omoi had already attacked him from the side, his sword falling in a downward motion.
Suigetsu didn't care, spinning his sword with just one hand, like a large machete, his enormous strength sent Omoi flying into the air, spinning to dissipate the energy. Suigetsu didn't bother him, adjusting his stance, he ran towards Samui.
Samui narrowed her eyes and pulled out a kunai, covering it with chakra. She lunged forward and parried Suigetsu's blow, but unfortunately for her, there was a thin layer of wind surrounding the sword. With Suigetsu's force, the kunai barely held out for a second before being shattered about Samui's shocked eyes.
The sword landed directly on Samui's chest, opening a deep cut, but Suigetsu caught it, so the scene of almost splitting the target in two by the Kusa genin didn't happen. Even so, the cut was deep, basically leaving Samui out of combat.
-One down.- Suigetsu laughed, turning to Karui, who was shocked by the unfolding events. -Samui! Damn it! I'm going to kill you!
Karui lost her temper and charged at Suigetsu, pulling out a kunai.
Suigetsu almost laughed, the girl was clearly very stupid and hot-headed. She charged with a kunai? Didn't she see what happened to her companion moments before?
Suigetsu didn't even need to release his curse mark, with another cut, Karui also fell. Omoi, who had run back to help, already had red eyes with rage, but he was calmer than Karui. As a swordsman, he realized that both were still alive, so he coated his kunai with chakra before advancing again.
This excited Suigetsu. - A swordsman, I can play with you a little more!
He lessened the sharp wind on his blade and began a sword fight with Omoi, clearly oblivious to his surroundings, who was very excited about the fight.
Ranmaru shook his head, he had already pulled Ryuta out of the danger zone and bandaged Kenta's arm. He looked at the Kumo duo and picked up some bandages, wrapping them up.
At first, his approach to both of them distracted Omoi, but seeing that Ranmaru was only bandaging them, he let it go and focused on fighting Suigetsu.
At that point, he also knew that Suigetsu was only training with him, basically using pure swordsmanship skills, so he tried to appease Suigetsu to prevent him from changing his mind and killing the three of them.
When Karin arrived, she saw four bodies on the ground with Ranmaru beside them, while Suigetsu and Omoi fought sword to sword.
Beside her, Nanami was already standing, doing very well for someone who had almost died a short time ago.
-Ryuta! Kenta! - She shouted and ran towards the pair on the ground.
Ryuta was still unconscious, but Kenta was awake, watching the fight with eyes full of excitement, but his admiration was pulled away by Nanami's voice.
As soon as he saw she was safe, he felt a weight lift from his chest, luckily, she was still alright.
Ranmaru nodded to Karin and said. -I did my best, but I'm not very good at this.
Karin nodded and bent down, beginning to tend to Ryuta, Kenta could wait.
Suigetsu also finished his fight, his body quickly returning to normal. Omoi's arms were already on fire, he couldn't even close his hands properly anymore. Each of Suigetsu's blows was extremely heavy.
He was breathing heavily, collapsing to the ground. Suigetsu stopped and looked at him, but didn't attack. He simply clicked his tongue in disappointment, put his sword back on his back, and he returned to his team.
-That guy is so-so, fighting Sasuke is way more fun.- Suigetsu shrugged.
There were still about 2 years to go before the Fourth Shinobi World War, and Omoi having come this far was already very good.
-You...- Omoi took a deep breath before looking at Karin. -Can you heal my companions too?
Karin looked at Omoi and rolled her eyes, not killing them was already very kind of them, but she didn't answer. Even after dealing with Ryuta and Kenta, she still dealt with Samui and Karui, deep down, she was still a kind girl.
Suigetsu simply snorted in amusement, unimpressed with Karin's choice. Ranmaru, on the other hand, smiled slightly, he was pleased by her kindness.
Omoi also breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Karin repeatedly, but she became angry and used a chain to knock him out.
-Annoying guy.- She complained, frowning, but her eyes were still gentle. Even so, she hadn't completely healed them, only brought them out of critical condition, unlike Ryuta and Kenta, who were practically as good as new.
-Thank you, Senpai!- Nanami said very happily, bowing deeply to Karin. Seeing this, Kenta quickly joined her, and even Ryuta, who had just woken up, his face slightly red with embarrassment, also bowed in thanks.
Karin shrugged, then spoke. -Have you managed to get the Tag you needed yet?
-Yes, we managed to do it just before we started being chased.- Kenta nodded, giving a proud thumbs-up.
Nanami rolled her eyes at the cheerful boy, already acting as if nothing had happened again, but she still hadn't argued with him, she was happy that they were both alive.
-Alright then, stay with us for the rest of the exam period.- Karin nodded and offered her help.
Ryuta seemed a little reluctant to depend on the others, Kenta was very absent-minded and was more focused on being able to train with Suigetsu, so he nodded quickly, Nanami also preferred to stay with them, it would be safer that way.
Thus, both teams quickly left the battle site, only Omoi remained awake.
Looking at Karui and Samui lying beside him, he sighed, unsure whether to feel lucky or unlucky. In the end, they had kept their Tag and were still alive, but it would be very difficult to take the Tag away from that group now, and besides, Samui and Karui were still injured.
Shaking his head, he set the exam aside, picked up Karui and Samui, one on each shoulder, and quickly ran off, ready to find a place to hide until the two woke up.
