Mina was sitting in a field, where Hebi just got.

-Mina? Is there something wrong? he asks.

-Well...Lee got hurt...And he is still in the hospital... she says.

-Hey...I heard Miharu is here...

-So?

-So maybe you could hang out with her...! She could see you tonight!

-You don't mind?

-Naaaw...! I'll be...uh...

-Why won't you come with us?

-You shure? Because I don't want to-

-Totally shure...

There was a short silence, then Hebi whispers:

-Thanks...For everything...

-...You're welcome. I'm gonna go ask Miharu if she wants to train...

But when they're coming back, they see the ninjas from Suna and Hoyaju. Yuki, Kimito and Nona are there too. When Hoyaju realizes Mina is here, he says:

-Hey Mina! It looks like that ugly friend of yours is a loser!

-Shut up!, she says, almost screams. You didn't make it to the last challenge either.

For a moment, he was stunned. But then, he says:

-Yeah, but that dosen't prove you're point...Losers will always be losers, and freaks will always be freaks. And especially for your friend...

-Hoyaju don't!, Yuki says.

-Oh I see...You haven't told her yet...Well, I hate to be the one to says that but, since I'm the only honest one here...

-If you say that I'll rip your eyes off!, Nona says.

-That loser's wounds will stop him from being a ninja forever!

He did it. Now Mina had lower her head, so you can't see her eyes. Anger was visible in her eyes, and tears were about to fall. Hoyaju came closer to Mina, on her right, and was starting to says another insult when Mina's fist flinched, and Yuki, Kimito and Nona screamed:

-Don't!-

Too late, Mina was about to punch him when Yuki made an ice shield, almost undestructable, and Mina's punch still got trough, making Hoyaji fly 30 meters away, and break the brick wall behind him.

-Tha hell! What are you trying to do? KILL ME!

-EXACTLY!, Mina screams, insanaty alomst in her angry eyes.

She was about to move to finish him when Hebi said:

-Mina calm down...

-...

-I know you're angry... But nevermind that...Come...

So he leads her someplace else. Yuki is stunned, if her ice shield would ave been just a small, tiny bit stronger, Mina would have ruined her fist, and if she hadn't made a shield at all, Hoyaju would be dead.
