The new weapon received a half interested glance before it too, was dismissed as worthless. Gaara hadn't expected the weakling to summon anything, much less do it without forming seals or using a scroll, but that oddity could be puzzled through later. This one actually seemed to be confident he could do some damage to him; Gaara was equally certain that he couldn't.

A cross between a scoff and an amused chuckle was the sole response he gave Gokudera in return. Truthfully, Gaara had no idea who Ryohei was, but he didn't care; the promise of a fight was far more interesting than the identity of a nobody. Arms crossed, he continued to give Gokudera that same imperious stare, watching, waiting for the other to make a move.
