"This is an illusion clone created by Kazama Ya. No wonder something felt off. Now I can finally be sure," Big Bear said indignantly.
"Something Kazama Ya created?" Nai Hyuga froze, puzzled for a moment.
But soon, something occurred to her. She vaguely remembered that while they were traveling through the sky, Yui and Big Bear had discussed Kazama Ya's abilities. Big Bear had mentioned this very issue then.
"Oh? A created clone? Is it ninjutsu?" Orochimaru rested his chin on his hand, pondering.

Hearing this, Orochimaru drew his fingers back,
