Nako took the mask. It felt cold and heavy in her hands, and she carefully traced the positions of its six eye sockets.
"Shun, yours also has a cloning Sharingan. Your Ninjutsu Bullets focus on speed and harassment." Cheng tossed the second mask to Shun.
Shun caught it, his fingers unconsciously rubbing its edge as his sharp gaze swept over the empty eye sockets.
"Entetsu, yours is different." Cheng handed the last mask to Entetsu, the most heavily built of the three.
"I fitted the upper sockets with a pair of cloning Byakugan. They let you see through things and observe chakra. The remaining four sockets hold offensive and defensive Ninjutsu Bullets."
Entetsu accepted it with both hands, hefted its weight, then looked at the two pure-white "eyes" on the mask and nodded firmly.
"I won't need one. Fighting you three hardly calls for equipment." Uchiha Makoto spoke casually, but the confidence in his tone made all three youngsters hold their breath.
He then began explaining those "single-use Ninjutsu Bullets" in detail.
They were a new invention he had recently developed using Dragon Vein energy. Each was about the size of an eyeball, with compression runes covering its metal shell and a tiny, miniaturized Dragon Vein crystal at its core, designed for a single burst.
"Four rounds each, twelve powerful ninjutsu attacks in total. In theory, as long as you coordinate properly, taking down a standard chunin squad shouldn't be much of a problem."
Cheng then listed their individual "ammunition inventories" one by one.
Nako's were: Paralyzing Poison Fog Bomb, Healing Light Wave Bullet, Binding Spiderweb Bomb, and Flashbang Bullet.
Shun's were: Shadow Clone Disruption Bomb, Charge Acceleration Bomb, Smoke Screen Bomb, and Sonic Boom Disruption Bomb.
Entetsu's were: Fire Release: Flame Bullet, Earth Release: Rock Wall Bullet, Wind Release:
