"He can easier dodge your swinging sword." said Shippo as he made Inuyasha angry and reminds Sango something. Her face becomes serious.
"That's dodge…" thought Sango as she remember where at the castle last night. Naruto threw his kunai at Kohaku and dodges his weapon. He was gone behind Kohaku without using his speed or something. She couldn't even see him moving and got behind him. "That wasn't just a dodge or speed… It was some kind of teleport…no it was his kunai…"
