"The speed of my Body Flicker Technique still needs improvement. When will I be able to reach Fujima's speed?"
Kagami Uchiha frowned deeply. He had improved his Body Flicker Technique after seeing Senju Fujima's Water Body Flicker. It was twice as fast as the original Body Flicker Technique, but it still was not fast enough.
Moreover, he could not use it freely or continuously without interruption, which prevented him from using the Body Flicker Technique in a sustained, fluid manner.
"I can only keep experimenting."
Kagami Uchiha frowned, still dissatisfied with his current Body Flicker Technique. He could not do as Senju Fujima did—move as he pleased and reach any marked location.
Furthermore, Senju Fujima could do so without discrimination or any pause, whereas the Body Flicker Technique had one flaw: after using it, there was a brief sensation of stagnation.
Although that pause was short, it had already become a fatal weakness.
When experts fought, they could often predict where you would appear the next second. If your pause lasted too long, it would be easy for someone to turn the tables and kill you.
What Kagami Uchiha was researching now was how to shorten that stagnation period until it vanished entirely, turning it into a true space-time ninjutsu that could be used without limit over short distances.

Then countless clumps of clay fell from another dimension, landing directly on Kagami Uchiha.
"Hehehe!"
"Fire Release—Plain Burning Technique."
The Iwagakure ninja chuckled and instantly formed hand seals. Boundless flames immediately erupted across Kagami
