Tsunade and Shinku's words enlightened Hoshi and the others. They were all geniuses themselves, and without any Tailed Beasts interfering with their Chakra, once they grasped the method, they quickly managed to remain standing still on the cave wall.
After another half hour or so, all six of them had successfully stood on the cave wall. By then, Tsunade and Shinku had already reached around eight or nine meters.
Hoshi and the others began to chase after them from around five or six meters up, though none of them moved very quickly. Although they had grasped the method, they only understood the basics.
