"If you're going to give me something, just give it to me. Who told you to put them on me directly?"
He couldn't sense reishi to begin with, and now he was being forced to wear a device that dispersed reishi.
Moreover, once this thing was taken off, his Quincy abilities would vanish.
Hyuga Fū didn't have the ability to fire a Holy Arrow 19mm from his heart.
For him, if his Quincy abilities were gone, they were gone.
"Wait a minute!" Aokawa was suddenly startled as he remembered, "Once the Spirit Dissolving Gloves are on, a Quincy can't even manifest a Spirit Bow!"
He hurriedly channeled Chakra into the back of his hand.
Hum!
A silver-gray Spirit Bow with black trim appeared in his hand.
"Thank goodness!"
Looking at the Spirit Bow connected to the manifested Spirit Dissolving Gloves, he breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems the Spirit Dissolving Gloves don't affect Chakra."
He tried drawing the bowstring, and a Chakra Arrow condensed into form.
When he released it, the arrow shot out with great speed.
He drew the string repeatedly, and arrows shot out one after another, piercing through many large trees ahead.
Seeing this, Aokawa frowned. "Strange, the Spirit Bow didn't actually increase the arrow's power; it only increased the fire rate."
"Is something happening?"
While he was lost in thought, a voice suddenly came from beside him.
Aokawa turned to look; it was Shirakumo Hayama.
Looking in the direction where Aokawa's arrows had flown, he frowned. "An enemy?"
"No, I was testing a skill," Aokawa apologized with a smile.
After traveling for a full day, the group was resting here, and Aokawa had taken the opportunity to take stock of his gains.
He hadn't expected that trying out his new Spirit Bow would cause a misunderstanding.
Shirakumo Hayama nodded. Looking at the Spirit Bow in Aokawa's hand, his eyes showed appreciation as he praised, "A very powerful Ninjutsu. Even I might not be able to dodge it if I were caught off guard."
"You're being too modest, Sohma-sama," Aokawa said.
With Shirakumo Hayama's level of Konoha Shunshin, it wouldn't be easy for his arrows to hit him.
Currently, his level was enough to catch some ordinary Jonin off guard, but facing these long-renowned Elite Jōnin was still a bit difficult.
"However..." Shirakumo Hayama's tone shifted. "With this style of combat, you have the most to fear from enemies getting close."
"Even if you have the Byakugan, you can't keep it active at all times. You still need some Taijutsu for self-defense."
Having spent time together on the return journey, Shirakumo Hayama had grown to appreciate this junior, Aokawa.
At the same time, he had learned from Hyuga Fū that Aokawa hadn't valued the Gentle Fist in the past.
