The fat boy's body rapidly swelled as he charged.
Under Dai Xiaomei's dumbstruck gaze, the fat boy turned into a "ball of flesh" and hurtled toward them.
Raijin and his two companions, who had hurried over after "hearing the news," once again hid among the nearby branches.
They witnessed this scene the moment they arrived.
Raijin exclaimed:
"The Ino-Shika-Cho formation?"
Corpse Bearer and Bullfighting Master looked over in confusion.
Raijin immediately explained:
"The Ino-Shika-Cho formation originated from a set of cards in Japan, which have relationships of restraint and connection with one another."
"And this formation has a long history in Konoha."
"These three youngsters are Shikamaru, Choji, and Ino. Their fathers were the previous generation of Ino-Shika-Cho."
"This formation has close ties to the Hokage and is very well known in Konoha."
Corpse Bearer and Bullfighting Master both nodded. Bullfighting Master even looked as though he had "seen the light" and said:
"So that's it. In other words, they all got in through connections?"
Raijin was struck speechless and could only reply glumly:
"Uh... well... you could put it that way."
Corpse Bearer watched the "ball of flesh" rolling rapidly across the battlefield and asked:
"What kind of ninjutsu is this fighting style where he turns into a ball of flesh? Does it fall under taijutsu?"
Corpse Bearer and Bullfighting Master had both gained quite a bit from watching and learning earlier.
Now that they were watching another battle, they naturally wanted to "greedily" soak up another round of experience.
Raijin shook his head without hesitation and said:
"This is Choji's signature move. It's a kind of secret family technique, though it does have some connection to taijutsu."
"The Akita Family specializes in using physical strength. Through secret techniques, they enlarge parts of their bodies or their entire bodies."
