Kuroda's eyes widened when the senbon struck into the ground instead of it's intended target. He turned to the Mad Hermit and saw the girl laying at her feet. His momentary surprise gave way to a lazy smile. "So, it was just part of the test after all..." His red eyes remained on Ikuza as the Earth Wall was used. Even with his Sharingan he could barely keep track of it.<br/><br/>When the sanin began addressing him, the med nin, the sword user, and the taijutsu girl, he was surprised. He passed? But he wasn't even able to win his fight yet. He knew that winning battles weren't everything in the chunin exam, but it wasn't until he was addressed directly that he understood the reasoning. Hearing the compliments of the sanin caused a warm feeling of pride to rise in the young Uchiha's chest.<br/><br/>After they were dismissed, he turned and frowned at Kyo when the boy began bragging about being right. He'd rather be blind than a fool. "And for having such a sharp blade, your mind is rather dull. There were two possibilities with that girl, and us being ordered to kill her. Either it was true, and he would have let us carry through with it. Or, it was just to test us, and he would keep us from truly harming her, and just wanted to see how we would react. And think about this: If you were right, how is it we both passed?" He shook his head. "You can be there all you like, that only means that I'll have to be sure to take care of you next time you get in my way. While I would rather not because we are both of Konoha, make no mistake that I'll do whatever it takes."<br/><br/>Turning away from the leaving swordsman, he scrutinized Seiyuri and allowed himself a small smile. She had realized what was going on, and had been willing to follow orders, like he had been. He had to respect her for that, even if she did take a little while longer to get to that point than he had. The Uchiha liked her a lot more than that idealistic Kyo or interfering Reina.<br/><br/>Giving a slight nod of acknowledgement to her, he turned and began to walk towards the border of the forest. Since the exam was supposedly over, he wasn't in a rush, and didn't want to waste anymore chakra. He kept his Sharingan active though, just in case.
