Chen's Disappointment

Uchiha Chen sat up and propped his chin on one hand. His deep gaze seemed to pierce through the walls as he prepared to see what tricks this guy would try.

Ikeda cautiously climbed the stairs, ignoring the shopkeeper's attempts to stop him. He shoved the shopkeeper aside, and with a sharp rip, the shopkeeper's hand instinctively clutched Ikeda's clothes. Who could have guessed that Ikeda's outfit was so flimsy? One tug was enough to tear most of it away from the waistband.

Ikeda's shirt was intact, but underneath, he wore a pair of floral-patterned shorts. From their style, it was obvious he'd stolen them from some woman. After all, no normal man would wear such conspicuously feminine shorts.

With his pants ripped off, Ikeda's face twitched, and he looked awkward. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to kill the shopkeeper.

I can't let him catch on. I can't let him catch on. As he stripped the shopkeeper's pants off and put them on, Ikeda tried to reassure himself.

Inside his room, Chen sensed what was happening and let out a faint, disdainful snort. "Boring." He made no further comment. In his view, a clown who made a spectacle of himself didn't deserve to be called a ninja.

After chasing the shopkeeper away, Ikeda took a deep breath and stared gravely at the room's door. His hands began to form Hand Seals, slow but forceful.

His Hand Seals were not quick, and the Chakra inside him moved just as sluggishly.

"Great Waterfall Technique?" Uchiha Chen furrowed his brow. Based on Ikeda's Hand Seals and the flow of Chakra through his body, he deduced what ninjutsu Ikeda was about to use.

As Kirigakure's signature Water Release Ninjutsu, nearly every Mist Ninja could use this
