Before the astonished eyes of the six youths, a vacuum vortex suddenly appeared over Nawaki's head. The raging flames that had wrapped around his body rushed toward it at a visible speed, gathering at his head before vanishing, like water being sucked down a toilet.
Once every last flame had disappeared, they finally saw that the vortex which had swallowed the fire was actually Skywalker's mouth!
Nawaki smacked his lips and said approvingly, "Not bad! Atsui, was it? This is the first time I've seen someone combine fire-nature chakra and taijutsu so perfectly! With Nintaijutsu like that, becoming a jonin in the future won't be a problem. If you can raise the temperature even further, you might even challenge the Kage-level!"
