In Naruto as Ten Tail

Looking at the two girls on the stage, Matatabi mumbled.

"They are trained quite a lot for their age."

Kokuo nodded and added, "Yeah, that Byakugan girl seems to have gone through some gruesome training."

"But she won't be able to win like this. " Hearing Matatabi's comment Kokuo did not refute her, instead she nodded in agreement.

Kokuo knew she was right as they both have observed something about this girl which Mikoto did not notice at first but now even she realized that.

'She is not attacking back!'

Mikoto thought in shock as realization struck her like thunder. At first she thought the girl was mocking her by not using her full strength but as the battle went on she realized that the girl would back away after a moment of hesitation whenever there was an opening in her defense.

"This girl does not have the will to injure someone." Matatabi commented looking at Hanami who was now sweating a little.

Mikot also realized that she might be able to win like this and she charged ahead. When Hanami was about to defend her attack Mikoto launched another attack, dropping all of her intentions to defend herself.

Hanami was caught off-guard with this bold action, she hurriedly tried to draw her hands back which was all Mikoto needed to punch her in the chest.

Hanami fell to the ground and Mikoto won the match yet there was not a sigh of happiness on her face when she looked at her opponent.

"Mikoto won! Form sign of reconciliation."

Mikoto followed the instructions and after that she helped Hanami get up. After helping her up she took the girl to a deserted corner to confront her.

"What happened, Mikoto-San?" Hanami asked in a low voice as she looked at the girl with a shy look on her face. Mikoto looked back at her with a complicated look on her face.

"Why?"

"Why?" Hanami asked back in a puzzled voice.

"Why did you not attack back? You could have won the match easily but you only defeated yourself. Are you looking down on me or did you think you will injure me with mere Taijutsu attacks?" Mikoto's voice grew louder and louder that it even attracted the attention of Akira who could hear farther with his hearing but he chose not to interfere in this matter.

Hanami, hearing the tone of the girl in front of her trembled a little, she clenched her robes and looked down. She Could not reply back, she wanted to speak but no words left her mouth.

Mikoto sighed seeing the state of the girl in front of her.

"Do you not wanna fight?" Hearing the question, Hanami shook her head rapidly. It's not that she did not want to fight, how can she not fight being the part of the main Hyuga clan.

"Do you not want to injure someone?" Mikoto asked again, seeing the girl denying her claims.

Hanami trembled once again and nodded slowly.

"Haaah!" Mikoto exhaled sharply causing Hanami to flinch. " Are you an idiot? If you fight you have to injure your opponent and it takes more than a few hits to injure me."

Hanami was shocked hearing those words. She did not even have the time to recover before Mikoto continued " you better not hold back in the next fight or I will force you to keep fighting. Keep that in mind Hyuga."

After saying her piece Mikoto walked back. Hanami stood there still in shock and after some time she walked back to her position.

Tsukimi was also able to hear their discussion from afar and yet did not even spare them a glance. He was being pestered by the boy sitting next to him.

Suddenly he heard a familiar name being called by the teacher.

"Next is Haruki Otsutsuki and Mebuki."

Matatabi walked forward under everyone's gaze and came face to face with a blonde haired girl, she had cold green eyes which were trying to bore a hole in Matatabi's body.

Matatabi raised her eyebrow at the unusual hatred she was receiving.

"You seem to have something to say?" Matatabi asked without any expression on her face. Hearing her question, Mebuki gritted her teeth before asking a question.

"What is your relationship with Akihiko-Kun?" Hearing the way Mebuki was addressing Tsukimi matatabi raised her eyebrows.

" 'Akihiko-kun?' You are speaking like you know my future husband. " Those words struck not only her but everyone's heart. They looked at her with a pale face. Seeing the look of Despair in their eyes seemed to trigger something inside Matatabi as she smirked and her eyes curved in a crescent moon like shape.

"Fufu~ did that shock you?" Matatabi laughed a little before continuing in a graceful manner. She didn't even take these girls as a challenge. Not a single girl seems to pose a 'Threat' to them.

"Even K- Asami is my dear's finance." The girl turned to look at the silent girl in the corner with a pale look on their face but to their surprise she was not there. They scanned the area to find her leaning on Tsukimi's shoulder with her eyes closed.

Matatabi's eyes turned cold seeing how Kokuo was taking advantage of the situation.

Akira could have stopped this drama but he knew better than to interfere between a female squabble. Instead he looked at the masked boy with a look of admiration in his eyes.
