Chapter 235 Shikamaru and Naruto Met a Mess, Rin Saves the Day
【Eight? Aren't there nine people?】Under the dappled shade of the trees, Shikamaru, hiding in the shadows, frowned as he watched the eight Sound Ninja finally gathered by the trap.
Karin's senses couldn't be wrong, so the result was obvious! There was someone else lurking in the shadows; the real battlefield was indeed not so smooth sailing after all…
[Although it's a bit unexpected, now is the best time to wipe out these eight people in one fell swoop, we can't miss it.] Giving Naruto a look, Shikamaru immediately formed hand seals and unleashed his power.
Having promised Sasuke and the others, he couldn't give up halfway!
The next instant, a shadow emerged from beneath Shikamaru's feet, concealed by the shadows of the trees, and instantly connected with eight Sound Ninjas with lightning speed.
"What happened? My body suddenly won't move..."
"Me too, what's going on?"
"Shadows, our shadows are connected..."
"Damn it, this is the Nara clan's shadow technique. We've been controlled, and now we're about to be attacked!"
"What? How can such a ninjutsu exist??"
In an instant, the eight Sound Ninja, who had been controlled, screamed in panic and were drenched in sweat.
If they can't move, they're sitting ducks. Even a random genin could kill all eight of them, including the jonin leading the group!
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique..." Just when the eight people were terrified, a shout suddenly rang out, and then more than a dozen Narutos appeared in front of them in an instant.
"Quick, take them down!" Shikamaru urged, glancing nervously around to keep an eye on the Jonin.
If they can take down these eight people first, then the two of them will still have a chance of winning against a Jonin!
"Watch my power, you village-destroying bastards!" Naruto immediately nodded in response, and all his clones simultaneously drew their shuriken and kunai and threw them out.
Just as the lives of the eight Sound Ninja were hanging by a thread, "Wind Release: Wind Net..."
Suddenly, a low shout rang out from the forest, and then most of Naruto's kunai shuriken were blown away, with only two unlucky Chunin accidentally getting scratched.
Almost simultaneously, a kunai with an explosive tag attached shot out from the dense forest and rushed straight at Shikamaru.
"Damn it, don't even think about ambushing Shikamaru." Naruto's expression changed drastically upon seeing this, and his shadow clone immediately jumped out to block the explosive tag kunai with its body.
Naruto himself stood firmly in front of Shikamaru to ensure that his Shadow Imitation Technique was not interrupted.
But at that very moment, a shrill shout rang in their ears again, “You’ve been tricked, kid.”
In the blink of an eye, just as the enemy finished speaking and the explosive tag kunai detonated, thick purple smoke rose up simultaneously.
"Smoke bomb! Naruto, the bullet he strapped to the back of his kunai is a smoke bomb." Shikamaru quickly recalled the kunai from earlier and suddenly realized, but it was too late.
To avoid having his ninjutsu interrupted by the enemy, Shikamaru immediately manipulated the people connected to him to draw kunai and stab them into his own neck.
Because of the special bindings used in conjunction with the Shadow Technique Ninja Tool Bag, Shikamaru was holding nothing but air.
However, a Jonin is a Jonin. Almost the instant Shikamaru made his move, several kunai shuriken shot into the thick smoke like a storm. Despite Naruto and his shadow clones' desperate protection, Shikamaru's right arm was hit and the shadow connection was forced to break.
The next second, as the smoke cleared, the two saw nine Sound Ninjas with ferocious eyes on their opposite side.
"I'm sorry, Naruto, I didn't expect my ambush to be so easily defeated by a true Jonin. Now I'll try my best to control as many people as possible, and then you can take the opportunity to escape!" Seeing that the disparity in strength between the two sides was too great, Shikamaru gritted his teeth and went all out.
He would like to escape if he could, but in the current situation, Naruto has a better chance and can also pass on the information so that Sasuke and the others can prepare in time.
"Escape? Are you kidding me, Shikamaru?" Naruto wiped the blood from his cut cheek, his hands quickly forming hand seals, his eyes burning with rage. "I, Uzumaki Naruto, would never abandon my comrades and run away alone. Besides, these guys aren't worthy!"
"Go! Don't let him use ninjutsu!" On the other side, the Sound Ninja captain, seeing Naruto forming hand seals, gave the order and instantly drew his kunai, its cold gleam revealed.
In the blink of an eye, just as the Sound Ninja were charging forward, Naruto slammed his hand on the ground with overwhelming force, shouting, "Surprise! Shikamaru! Ninja Art: Summoning Jutsu..."
In an instant, Naruto's confident attitude and the rising thick white smoke made the Sound Ninja Captain's expression change, and he subconsciously stepped back to create distance.
"Naruto, you..." Shikamaru's eyes also showed excitement upon seeing this. It was actually a summoning jutsu! Naruto actually knew this kind of ninjutsu.
The thought of what ninja beasts Naruto would summon to help in the battle made Shikamaru's brain race as he analyzed the strength of both sides and readjusted his battle plan.
Just as Shikamaru was getting excited and Naruto was brimming with confidence with his arms crossed, an orange toad wearing a blue vest appeared in front of Naruto.
The next second, "Ah! Who are you? I'm not looking for someone like you..."
Naruto, his face contorted with anger, pointed at the tiny toad, no bigger than a washbasin, and screamed hoarsely, his face contorted as if he were about to cry!
This is completely different from the grand entrance he had envisioned!
Where is that huge toad boss?
"I'm Gamabunta, kid. You're not underestimating amphibians..."
"Damn it, that's why I hate frogs the most."
"Ha! What am I even expecting? Naruto isn't Ishikawa-senpai, so what kind of summoning beasts can he summon?" Shikamaru, watching Gamakichi bickering with Naruto, couldn't help but twitch his lips and his brain shut down.
Tired, let's destroy it...
"You scared me! Die, you brat!" The opposing Sound Ninja captain sneered and unleashed another burst of speed with his kunai.
The others followed suit, instantly forming a pincer attack!
"Oh no, oh no..." Naruto immediately broke out in a cold sweat upon seeing this and quickly formed hand seals to activate Shadow Clone Jutsu again.
Shikamaru gritted his teeth and formed hand seals, his shadow forming an arc beneath his feet to create a defensive line for a desperate counterattack.
Since we're prepared to die, let's fight with all our might and kill as many people as possible. That way, the pressure on Sasuke and the others will be reduced...
"Rasengan!" At the critical moment, just as Naruto and Shikamaru were about to fight to the death, a delicate shout suddenly rang in their ears.
The next instant, the two saw the Sound Ninja Captain, who was charging at the front, fly backward at an even faster speed, crash heavily at the foot of the giant tree, his head lolling to the side and he died instantly!
Silence fell, a deathly stillness. Both sides turned their gazes to the newcomer, gasping in shock…
Are Konoha's Anbu really that strong?
"This is... the ninjutsu of the Perverted Sage?" Naruto was stunned for a moment, then looked at the Anbu member in front of him with burning eyes. "Sister, are you also a disciple of the Perverted Sage?"
Although he couldn't see her face, based on his years of observation and experience in developing seduction techniques, he was certain that the person in the shadows was a girl.
“You really are Jiraiya’s disciple, Naruto…” Nohara Rin glanced at Gamakichi and looked at Naruto, sighing with emotion as she thought of the other’s identity as the Fourth Hokage’s son.
But isn't it a bit too rude to just call Jiraiya-sama the Perverted Sage?
