It didn't take long for them to reach the clearing she was speaking off, and the instant she reached the other side she turned to face Haku, looking over him appraisingly as she relaxed into stance, "Ready?"

Whoever this girl was... She probably wasn't expecting someone from Konoha to have that particular bloodline. Maybe it'd be a surprise she'd bring out, depending on how hard the Kiri nin pushed her. It was weird, but she didn't feel particularly threatened. Her opponent was strong, but at the same time it felt like she could believe that her life wasn't in danger.

Believing in instinct like that was stupid, though. She'd have to be careful if she valued her skin, and she'd have to assume that her opponent felt the same.
