"Chika!"
Not far away, Hideji Kohara saw Qian drive his sword into the insect beast's head and cried out in panic.
Unlike the usual partnership between ninja and Summoning Beast, Hideji Kohara and Chika were extremely close.
Chika had been a chance encounter from Hideji Kohara's youth, and had accompanied him through almost his entire ninja career.
Ever since that mission, when his teacher and two companions had been killed by Uchiha shinobi, Chika had been his closest companion.
It could be said that without Chika, he never could have made it to where he was today.
So the moment he saw Chika suffer such a heavy blow, rage flared through him.
Without the slightest hesitation, Hideji Kohara formed seals again and unleashed the Wind Style ninjutsu from before.
A nearly transparent Wind Blade condensed once more, then, under his control, shot straight toward Qian.
However, after experiencing it once, Qian naturally could not be wounded by the same move again. Though this Wind Blade was extremely fast, Qian still dodged it with ease.
Not only that, but the entire process of Hideji Kohara forming seals and even mobilizing Chakra just now had all been seen clearly by him—and he happened to have developed wind-natured Chakra.
That gave him the foundation to copy it.
Qian had no interest in other ninjutsu, but this technique, which was at least Rank B, did interest him a little.
Though he had long since made up his mind about an offensive Wind Style ninjutsu—namely the Rank S Ninjutsu, Wind Style: Rasenshuriken—that did not stop him from learning one more ninjutsu.
After all, no one ever suffered from having too many skills!
Moreover, developing Wind Style: Rasenshuriken would still take quite some time, and this Wind Style ninjutsu before him could perfectly fill the gap
