Nao's eyes...
They were Mangekyō Sharingan! Chiba, sprawled on the ground with terror and shock written across his face, widened his eyes and stared fixedly at the pair of scarlet Sharingan with strange patterns within Nao's slightly raised face.
From the black, dot-like pupils extended four thick black pillar-shaped markings all the way to the edges of the irises, forming a cross-like pattern. Between the pupils and the pillar markings were black, tail-like connecting traces formed by rotation, making them look like spinning Wind Shuriken.
