Though he said he was accompanying Kana, Araki merely walked with her into the empty room next door and got the necessary materials for inscribing the formation from the Anbu.
As Kana crouched on the floor and began painstakingly drawing those unknown, twisted runes that resembled tadpoles and earthworms, Araki watched for a while before he could no longer sit still.
He simply could not understand those ghostly scribbles at all, and it felt like a terrible waste of time.
So he quietly took two steps back, intending to head next door and chat with Yagura to pass the time.
Unfortunately, Kana was a sensory ninja, and one of the very best among those with sensory abilities.
With the [Mind's Eye of the Kagura], she could perceive every chakra movement within a radius of dozens of kilometers. If it was a specific chakra signature she already knew, she could even sense that person's exact location and movements in greater detail.
So although Kana currently had her back to Araki, every single movement he made was actually under her watch!
Thus, just as Araki quietly shuffled backward, an eerie voice sounded from ahead of him. "Didn't you say you'd keep me company? You're leaving already?"
Silence!
Araki froze on the spot.
Looking at Kana, who was still drawing runes ahead of him without turning around, he helplessly stopped and twitched the corner of his mouth. "My legs were just getting numb. I lifted them to stretch a little..."
"Pfft~"
That excuse was far too fresh and unconventional. Kana, who had just been keeping a straight face, immediately burst out laughing.
"Fine, fine. If you're bored, go ahead and leave. I'll call you once I'm done."
She waved a hand behind her.
"I'm not bored. My legs are just a little numb.
