Maiko watched the match with curious fascination and was impressed by the young Uchiha's fighting skills and the fact that he was able to hold his own against the Hokage.

"He's good, I want to fight him if I ever get the chance, or maybe even the Hokage" he said to himself.

[i]"please tell me you're not planning to challenge ether of them to a sparring match are you?"[/i] Isobu asked in an exasperated voice.

"If they allow others to participate then yes, I would like to test my skills against them."

[i]"You're going to get us ether captured or even worse killed. does the mission even matter to you right now? you're going to risk open war by showing off your skills to Konoha ninja? I feel like a fool to be sealed within you"[/i] the three tails said.

"No worries Isobu, I have my cover story in case people ask where I'm from and I have nothing on me to suggests that i am from Amegakure" Maiko said reassuringly. Isobu didn't respond and Maiko continued to watch the match, he was glad to be watching the moves that the two Uchiha clansmen were making against each other.
