Noriaki cleared his throat. “Ahem, now that we have concluded this discussion, let's return to main topic, how do we kill her? Any suggestions?”

“...” Satoshi grumbled in his corner. He accepted his defeat, albeit only grudgingly. His rebellion failed. He lost the vote four to three, with two abstentions. A close defeat, but the pro Danzo faction of Root triumphed. They rejected his proposal to adopt a neutral stance in this matter and ignore Danzo's orders.

“How do we kill her? Simple. We just need something sharp and pointy. Stab her, and she is dead”, Natsu pointed out.

Satoshi responded with a strong sense of pessimism. “Thank you for your contribution, Natsu, but that's easier said than done. I doubt that Asami will do us the favour and die peacefully.”

Natsu retorted, “So what, do you have any better idea, Satoshi?”

“That's the point, Natsu, there are no good ideas.” Satoshi's voice betrayed his resignation. “Natsu, have you ever met Asami in person? Have you ever seen her fight?”

Asami grabbed her scabbard and inspected her trusted sword. The blade was sharp, the steel polished. The exams were about to begin.

Today was a joyous day. Contrary to all expectations, Asami didn't arrive late. She wasn’t even the last one. Naruto beat her in that regard, together with a certain absent Uchiha. Sasuke didn't make an appearance, which dismayed her.

Asami leaned over the railing to observe the first match from the stances. Naruto fought Neji. Nothing interesting. The outcome was predetermined. The victor predictable. Neji would win. Naruto stood no chance against Neji's superior skill and experience. She didn't see him winning in any realistic scenario. Naruto had no hope to overcome Neji unless her favourite jinchuuriki finally got his act together and put his favourable genetics and immense chakra reserves to use. Neji deserved the victory, even when he was a Hyuga and therefore a hereditary enemy.

The match started and both sides clashed. Naruto attacked head on, rushing straight into his demise.

“...” Asami grinned. Naruto's idiocy amused her.
