Usagi examined the surroundings - the forest of death, no doubt. Then, she examined the scrolls she had obtained, her mind wondering why a piece of parchment was important this one was. Tieing it to her waist, Usagi had nothing else to do rather than place her hands together behind her back and wait, cautiously observing the three other participants with trained eyes. In the depth of her mind, she knew that she might have to face one of them in this exam - it wasn't over just yet, after all. Out of all three... Usagi's gaze moved onto Tsukiko. That one was the only she wasn't keen on fighting - she seemed crude, brutal and methodic in her own way. And even now, something about her screamed violence, of unrestrained force and strength.

Kamui was strange - as strange as his given name. He was an Uzumaki, right? Which means he had an innate powerful life force and chakra reserves. An opponent which Usagi had to give credit where it was due, but he seemed dull and weak. For some reason. 

Then, Sakana. This one would go as far as fate took him, according to himself - which meant that he'd stop as soon as he encountered something that kept him from going further ahead. He'd give up easily - at least, that was how lowly Usagi thought of him. He might be a powerful shinobi, but shinobi often had to defy fate and do things that no one could think they would.

... The hokage's assistant disguised as the hokage appeared and began speaking, which prompted Usagi to stiffen her posture, eyes sharpening in an instant. The first few words already prompted her to reach a hand on the hilt of the peaceful rabbit, her eyes noticing how Tsukiko was slowly and sneakily approaching Kamui. Should she act? No, Tsukiko understood that this second test was a fight between themselves since the very beginning. Usagi noticed this too, but she was a bit slower. The test was explained and just as the person disappeared, Tsukiko attacked and apparently got hold of a scroll. Usagi was still reluctant but Tsukiko's bold move instantly made Usagi remember that if she wasn't similarly bold, she'd fail easily.

Quickly, she released her sword and instead moved her hands together to form some handseals and then moved a hand next to her mouth. Usagi wasn't keen on killing them, but she wasn't bothered if they had to be hurt if it meant her personal success. From her mouth, several blasts of wind chakra were released with unseen precision and speed - having enough force to puncture through their flesh if they were hit. Three blasts were aimed up at Tsukiko's legs - once done, she unsheathed her sword and became ready to attack Kamui or Sakana, should they also retaliate.
