Hundreds of shadow clones appeared around Urashiki and attacked him at once. Rasengan, kunai, shuriken, and all manner of attacks rained down on him.
Urashiki remained unruffled, flicking the Fishing Rod in his hand again and again. Its Fish Hook traced arcs through the air, catching the shadow clones one by one before displacing them far away.
