[Remember that we need to get 2000PS for double Chapters!! For ever!!]
After the shopkeeper left, Natsuki walked up to Tenten and asked, "Have you tried out the shuriken yet?"
Tenten shook her head. "I just got them. I was about to test them out when you showed up."
Natsuki nodded and turned to Shino. "Shino, try it with a shadow clone."
Without a word, Shino raised his hand, and a swarm of insects flew out, startling Tenten so much that she hid behind Natsuki. But then, the insects quickly gathered and formed into a humanoid shape, eventually taking on Shino's appearance.
Natsuki gently reassured her, "Don't be afraid. The Aburame clan specializes in insect techniques. Shino is a strong and trustworthy comrade."
Tenten gave Shino a curious look, no longer as scared. When the insect clone gestured for her to attack, she raised her poison shuriken and threw it.
The insect clone blocked with a kunai, but with a loud bang, the poison shuriken exploded, releasing toxic smoke that engulfed the clone.
Then Tenten tossed several wire shuriken, embedding them precisely around the clone. As the mechanisms activated, steel wires shot out, successfully hooking onto the clone's clothing.
"Just like I imagined. These two types of shuriken are perfect for ambush and restraint. From now on, they're going to be my exclusive tools."
Clearly pleased, Tenten smiled with satisfaction.
Shino dispelled the insect clone and commented, "The design of these two shuriken types is quite ingenious. If the enemy is unaware, they can be very effective. Tenten's throwing technique is also excellent, especially her precision control with the wire shuriken—almost every strand was used effectively."
