“How... how is this possible? That Nature Transformation... Agh! Pfft!”
A spat out a mouthful of blood.
But the heat around him evaporated the bloody mist almost instantly.
He lowered his head slightly and looked down.
The Blaze Release Spear had pierced not only his Lightning Release armor but his chest. Terrifying flames burned through his organs, seared his bones, and tore apart his flesh.
"Guh—"
He spat out another mouthful of blood...
His eyes bulged, his face twisted in agony.
"Aaaaaah—!"
He spun around.
Putting everything he had into one strike, he unleashed One-Finger Nukite!!!

A flash of lightning streaked past. Shinji had already vanished, leaving only a scrap of his clothing on A's hand. It was quickly shredded to pieces.

Might Guy looked solemn. "I've never seen Shinji train, but his youth burns even brighter than mine!!!"
Akimichi Choza said, "Hmm... that's him, all right. Looks like Shikaku was right after all. Yes, ahem, ahem!"
He noticed someone beside him giving him a strange look.
Chōza hurriedly coughed to cut off what he had been about to say. As long as he wasn't embarrassed, everyone else would be.
“Lord Shinji!!!”
“Lord Shinji!!!”
The Konoha Ninja erupted in excitement.
Just as they'd thought!
Not only had they seen Shinji Uchiha "battle" a Tailed Beast again, they had watched him
