Has someone done that, then? [Who would set the gates on fire? For a minute, Chouji thinks about what Ikki told him with regard to the Fire Nation in her world. That was a long time ago, though. He almost regrets the question, hoping there is an explanation that isn't quite as serious.]

I'm not really used to paying that much attention to air currents. [Enough to manage thrown weapons, but never enough to actively follow it through a sequence. Chouji can deal with the wind for a second or two, but he doesn't predict it. Not the way he pays attention to things like shadows, anyway, after so many years as Shikamaru's friend and teammate.]

You're right, taking off the armor might help. [He does, leaving just the red lightweight jacket.]
