[color=9e0b0f]"Exactly my thoughts. It's remarkably hard to track the nature of something that happened from such a distance, but it was definitely not a normal explosion."[/color] Hikaru commented in an absent-minded way, not even questioning the meaning behind the other shinobi's accurate comments as he exposed his own view of the situation. [color=9e0b0f]"I actually raised the conjecture that It may have been someone with the same Kekkei Genkai as me, since it's the only method I know of that can possibly achieve a similat result without using any sort of combustible, but even that seems farfetched now that I think about it. The chakra required would be absurd and I personally don't know of a method to use Explosion Release from a large distance..."[/color] He stopped for a second to think about his conclusion before exposing it, even then failing to notice that he revealed a fairly important piece of information yo a complete stranger due to how impressed he was by the result of the "explosion". [color=9e0b0f]"Sincerely, the two possibilities I thought of where either the result of shocking a super-dense chakra construct against a surface or a suicide-bomber with an insane chakra pool and capable of using explosion release, both away too unrealistic to be considered valid hypotheses."[/color] He finally concluded, realizing a bit too late how extremely revealing his speech was, letting the stranger know not only about the fact that he had a Kekkei Genkai but also giving away its nature and the fact that he had enough knowledge about explosives to achieve the same conclusion, openly giving anything the stranger needed to know about his identity as a former member of the explosion corps - a mistake that could be quite dangerous in the specific situation, since the other shinobi wasn't completely sure about his identity as an ally. [color=9e0b0f]"A-anyway, It's not like we're meant to discuss this kind of thing right now. We should concentrate in running away."[/color]

In the end, the conversation quickly died after this - most certainly thankfully to his fairly indiscret attempt of diverging the konoha-nins attention - giving place to an awkward silence until the other shinobi once more started to talk, this time saying something about names and complimenting Hikaru's parents for their choice. [color=9e0b0f]"Guess that's true. My mother always had a good taste for this kind of thing. My father was hopeless though. Pretty sure my name would be something like Bakusatsu Kyō* if he was the one naming me."[/color]

By the time his master finally disappeared, Arashi was still in the same position as before, hiding his face under the hood and looking towards the ground as he slowly recovered his composure. He remained like that for almost 2 minutes before he finally moved again, using his right hand to push away the locks of hair that covered his forehead as his body started to tremble as if he suddenly started crying harder - a misconception that was quickly cleared by the laugher that emerged from his mouth in the following second. [Color=Silver]"Do you perhaps think I'm an idiot, teacher?"[/color] He spoke loudly in despite of being alone in the now deserted market, seemingly just exposing his own thoughts for no specific reason. [Color=Silver]"I don't know who the fuck is controlling you now, but did you seriously believe that I'd fall for such a pathetic attempt of causing inner conflict? Even if I ain't nowhere near the previous leader when it comes to diplomacy, I also ain't that pathetic."[/color] The elite shinobi finished with a bitter comment, semingly vanishing from the market in the following second as he made his way out of the village with haste. After all, even if he wanted to take his time enjoying his self-given vacation, he now had to take care of his own village - being right in the middle of two big nations was hardly an attractive perspective now that he knew that someone wanted to start a war.
