"How did Kazama Ya make that Gourd release purple mist back then?"
Nai Hyuga searched her memories. As she recalled, Kazama Ya had simply made the Gourd spin, and then purple mist had poured out of its mouth.
But that did not tell her much.
Maybe she needs to make the Gourd release purple mist the way she would cast ninjutsu? Nai Hyuga nodded to herself. For now, that was all she could come up with.
