Nero decided to keep speaking to the Kono Genin. "So you're a friend of his?" he would ask Fuyo, then continuing on without waiting for a response. "Say what you will about him, he was much braver than I expected. He took a kunai to the stomach, and still tried to give the fight his all. It would be a shame if another Konoha ninja ran away and hurt the standards his friends built with their blood and sweat." Masashi had to work to avoid rolling his eyes. They weren’t here for a lecture, they were here for a fight.
To try and get the festivities started Masashi would casually, at speed 80, draw eight of the C-0 clay balls from his weapon pouch with one hand. He would then, toss them into the air directly in front of him and then throw each one individually at different targets in the following order: Hero, Fuyo, OwO, Nero, Fuyo, Hero, Nero, OwO. All of the chakra infused clay would have a speed of 80, a sharpness of 0, and an impact power of 45. They would travel the 10 meters between Masashi and their intended targets. They were aimed at points that, while they won't kill those involved, they will take them out of the fight should they connect.
