A violent explosion rang out.

Deep within the Forest of Death, in a clearing, the outermost petal of a crimson lotus was smashed apart by a huge gray-white snake.

In an instant, surging flames erupted from the shattered petal, blasting the charging snake until its head was covered in blood. It hissed and roared as it shrank back.

This was no other ninjutsu. It was the very first one Qian had examined: "Fire Style: Crimson Lotus Hellfire."

Hidden at the center of the crimson lotus, Qian's Sharingan spun rapidly as he once again controlled the giant snake to attack, ramming it into the lotus petals on the other side while carefully sensing the changes within.

A dozen or so minutes later.

Qian returned to his own courtyard.
