"Akaseki, what are your thoughts on the future development of Air Release?"
"Huh? I'm not in that much of a hurry to branch out and have children." Having just heard Jiraiya tease him like that, Akaseki instinctively answered in that manner when Orochimaru questioned him.
Orochimaru: ...
"Ah, Captain Orochimaru, you meant developing it!" Seeing Orochimaru's expression, Akaseki immediately realized he had misunderstood.
"I plan to first familiarize myself with Air Release Chakra, then develop an Air Release Shadow Clone. Not only could I use an Air Release Shadow Clone to perform the Air Burst Technique, but if the clone were destroyed, it would unleash an Air Burst Technique as well." Akaseki voiced his idea.
Akaseki's main consideration was that his current fighting style revolved around all kinds of clones.
Having one more Air Release Shadow Clone would not only make him especially effective at dispersing mist, making it useful against Amegakure and Kirigakure, but it could also coordinate with his other clones in ordinary battles, allowing for more tactical variations.
To say nothing else, if a Taijutsu ninja shattered an Air Release Shadow Clone at close range, the impact would probably be even greater than the paralysis caused by a Lightning Style Shadow Clone.
However, it would only be effective if it erupted in close combat. At even a slightly greater distance, its effectiveness would drop exponentially and rapidly dissipate, because the damage was caused not by the force of expanding air currents, but by the low pressure itself!
After hearing Akaseki's idea, Orochimaru neither approved nor disapproved. He merely said, "Akaseki, the essence of your Air Release is a technique that directly controls air density. That differs from Wind Release, which controls the movement of air. If you develop other ninjutsu in the future, you may build around
