"How do I get out?"
Araki smiled. "Obviously, I walk out! It's not like I can flow around like you guys."
"Huh?"
Mangetsu was greatly startled. "You're that brazen?"
"Heh, not really. After all, I don't have many traits of someone from the Land of Water, so no one would recognize me at a glance. Besides..."
Araki gently raised the longsword in his hand. A layer of light wind slowly curled around it, and from tip to hilt, the sword vanished right before Mangetsu's eyes!
"What is that? An invisibility technique?"
Hozuki Mangetsu widened his eyes and even reached out, trying to touch Araki's longsword.
"An invisibility technique... it's not that mystical. It's just an insignificant application of Wind Style."
Araki waved a hand, wearing an expression that said it was nothing worth mentioning.
"So... you can use this move to hide yourself too?" Mangetsu's mouth fell open.
"Of course. Otherwise, why would I suggest coming to Konoha with you?"
As he spoke, Araki's legs began to slowly disappear.
"Wait, I remember there's a Kekkei Genkai called Transparent Escape that can erase one's body from sight. Don't tell me you awakened a Kekkei Genkai?" Mangetsu sounded doubtful.
"It's just invisibility. Why would I need a Kekkei Genkai for that?"
Having completely hidden himself, Araki's tone was especially disdainful. "I call this move Wind King Barrier."
"Wind King Barrier... amazing. How many Wind Style Ninjutsu have you developed already?"
Mangetsu was both envious and full of admiration.
"I lost count. Who knows? How are you getting out?"
Araki's voice came from the air beside Mangetsu.
"Me? Of course, I'll turn into water and go through the river..."
Halfway through, he suddenly stopped.
Mangetsu realized that he had to act together with Araki. Araki could swagger through the streets once invisible, but
