Neji is staring at him. Silently. He has been for a few minutes now.
Lee, too, has been staring at him.
It is a competition, right? Some kind of challenge? Maybe Neji's warming up to this "rivalry" that Gai-sensei keeps talking about.
But they haven't talked about the rules. Lee has already blinked a few times. Does that mean he's lost? But Neji has blinked too. Neji hasn't said anything. Maybe Lee should say something? He doesn't really know, actually, whether Neji has really been studying him all this time, or has he merely blanked out? It's hard to tell with his all-white eyes.
"Neji, how do we know when one of us has won? And what is the challenge?"
