After hearing Uchiha Shi's explanation, Naruto frowned slightly and turned toward Shin Uchiha beside him, asking in confusion:
"Uncle Shin, what should we do now?"
At Naruto's question, Shin Uchiha merely shook his head and said:
"You don't need to do anything. Just stay here and watch."
After saying that, Shin Uchiha turned to Uchiha Shi and the others beside him and said:
"Takigakure isn't very big. Wait here. I'll be right back."
Without waiting for anyone to respond, Shin Uchiha rose into the air and flew toward the waterfall at tremendous speed.
As he flew, Shin Uchiha's figure gradually vanished before their eyes, as though someone were rubbing him out with an eraser.
Seeing the Clan Leader's actions, Uchiha Shi understood that he wanted to act alone. He said nothing more and simply stood there, waiting quietly.
When Naruto saw Shin Uchiha disappear right before his eyes, he blinked hard. Once he confirmed that he really could no longer see him, he excitedly patted Sasuke beside him and said:
"Sasuke, Sasuke, look! Uncle Shin is amazing! Not only can he fly, he can even make his whole body disappear!"
Sasuke had long since seen all sorts of tricks from Shin Uchiha, so he wasn't as surprised as Naruto. He merely glanced at him and scoffed:
"Idiot! Of course my master is amazing."
Naruto naturally heard Sasuke's jab. He immediately turned toward him and said:
"Damn you, Sasuke! Don't get so smug. One day, I'll become Uncle Shin's student too!"
Sasuke paid Naruto's words no mind. He simply turned his head away slightly and gave a disdainful snort.
His attitude only annoyed Naruto further, and the two started arguing again.
Seeing Naruto and Sasuke fall into their usual routine again, Karin quietly giggled to herself.
