Wind shimmering with a faint glow gently curled around Hyuga Kagami's body. At first glance, it looked like soft, delicate ribbons of light winding around him.
"What is this?!"
Isshiki's expression darkened.
Though the wisps of wind appeared gentle and powerless, as a Kekkei Mōra, Isshiki naturally detected the terrifying chakra fluctuations contained within them.
As if to confirm his suspicions, Isshiki narrowed his eyes and silently activated Daikokuten once more.
Whoosh...
In an instant, another enormous black stone spear appeared out of thin air and stabbed toward Hyuga Kagami. This time, however, Hyuga Kagami neither dodged nor moved, utterly ignoring the black spear hurtling at him.
With a thunderous boom, the black stone spear touched the wisps of wind around Hyuga Kagami just before it struck him. The seemingly harmless wind instantly shredded it, turning it into fragments that scattered on the breeze.
"What?!"
Isshiki's expression changed drastically.
For the wind had shredded not only the black stone spear he had released with Daikokuten, but also several Black Rods he had shrunk with Sukunahikona.
He had intended to use the black stone spear to draw Hyuga Kagami's attention, then repeat his earlier tactic—shrinking the Black Rods with Sukunahikona to evade Hyuga Kagami's perception before launching another ambush.
Yet he had never expected the wind surrounding Hyuga Kagami to block not only huge targets like the black stone spear, but also defend against the surprise attack of Black Rods shrunk by Sukunahikona.
"Surprised?"
Hyuga Kagami stepped out of the massive crater and slowly walked toward Isshiki.
Isshiki frowned. "Impossible. I already investigated the ocular powers of your Tenseigan. There is no such technique!"
"Heh!"
Hyuga Kagami chuckled, a trace of mockery appearing on his face.
Isshiki might have investigated him, and perhaps he really had learned some information about him
