After her surprise faded, Mei Terumi's smile only grew more intrigued. You're getting more and more interesting, little one!
Although Raito had taken to the sky, Mei Terumi had no intention of giving up. She pushed off the ground and used the Body Flicker Technique to leap between rooftops, continuing her pursuit.
Their original battlefield had been in the southern part of the village, while One-Tail Shukaku was rampaging in the north.
They were at opposite ends of a diagonal!
Standing on his auspicious cloud, Raito whizzed over the Chunin Ninja Exams arena.
The ordinary ninja below were in complete chaos, and few noticed the unusual sight overhead.
But Naruto, Sasuke, and the keenly perceptive Ao and Chōjūrō all sensed something amiss.
A white cloud streaked across the sky like a jet. It was hard not to notice a sight like that.
With his Byakugan active, Ao exclaimed, "What is that thing?"
Chōjūrō stammered, "A c-cloud... how can a cloud fly that fast?"
Sasuke and Naruto said nothing, but the first name that sprang to both their minds was Raito.
Only that guy would come up with a technique that was both so flashy and so useful.
Sasuke gritted his teeth. He can even control clouds? How does that work? Raito, you're getting harder and harder to figure out!
Stars sparkled in Naruto's eyes. What an awesome move! If only I could learn to fly someday!
Inside the Four Violet Flames Formation on the rooftop, Hiruzen Sarutobi had been facing Orochimaru with a grave expression when a white cloud suddenly shot overhead like a meteor.
Hiruzen instinctively looked up at the sky.
A trace of confusion crossed his aged face, but when he saw where the cloud was headed, he smiled in relief.
*That boy Raito really does keep surprising
