• Uzumaki Guga offers to teach Qin Qi ninjutsu, beginning with chakra refinement. However, her explanation is incomprehensible because she speaks only in “Guga” language.
• Gugu Gaga attempts to learn the technique instead and masters it almost instantly. Uzumaki Guga then demonstrates an absurdly powerful ability by summoning a gigantic wooden Buddha statue with a simple gesture and a single “Guga.”
