Chapter 232 Dividing the Force, Lightning Release: Wind Demon Shuriken Shadow Clone
"Naruto, you're not scared, are you? That's Ishikawa-senpai, and it's an A-rank mission issued by Kakashi-sensei." Gritting his teeth, Sasuke looked at the battlefield ahead with a resolute expression.
Damn it, how could he hesitate like this, how could he even think of backing down?
The other party is Ishikawa, his senior who helped him grow! If he were to flee in such a shameful way now, what difference would it make from that time?
If he doesn't even have the courage to face this kind of battle, then what right does he have to seek revenge on that person?
How will I ever face Ishikawa, Kakashi, or anyone else again...?
"Afraid? Who's afraid? Sasuke, don't underestimate me. I'm not afraid of that kind of monster!" Seeing Sasuke's resolute stance, Naruto, feeling guilty, immediately stuck out his neck and retorted loudly.
He was certainly a little scared, but he would never lose to Sasuke.
And he happens to own one of those monsters. Hmph, I'll give Sasuke a big surprise soon!
It's a pity Sakura wasn't there, so we couldn't see the moment when he triumphantly surpassed Sasuke.
"Really? Then don't drag me down!" Sasuke's lips curled up at the words, then he turned his gaze to Shikamaru.
Although it's certain that we'll participate, blindly joining the battle is suicidal, so we still need Shikamaru's wisdom to devise a strategy.
"Oh, I see! But it's really a headache to defeat our opponent in such a dangerous battle with our own strength..." Shikamaru sighed helplessly, and sat down cross-legged to think of a solution.
But before he could even sit down and think, he saw Karin beside him suddenly pause, then form hand seals and carefully sense the situation. "Not good, an enemy is catching up. We don't have time to waste here, and Ishikawa's chakra is running low!"
"What? How many enemies??" Naruto immediately exclaimed, and Sasuke, Shikamaru, and Lee also turned their heads.
"Based on the chakra reaction, there are two groups of enemies, totaling twelve people. Among them, the confirmed identities are Maki, the Jonin leader of the Sunagakure group, as well as Temari and Kankuro. The remaining nine are on the other side, consisting of two Jonin and seven Chunin."
"That means there are three Jonin and nine Chunin as enemies." Shikamaru exclaimed in surprise, his mind racing as he calculated the strength of both sides.
Although Kankuro and Temari are genin, he is certain that they both have the strength of chunin.
“There’s no other way, it’s an emergency over there too. Naruto and I will stay and deal with those nine people, the rest are yours.” Shikamaru quickly analyzed the pros and cons and turned to Sasuke and Karin.
"What? Just the two of us going to take on two Jonin and seven Chunin? Isn't that too risky?" Naruto asked Shikamaru suspiciously. What gave this guy the confidence to defeat nine people, including two Jonin, with just the two of them?
Could it be that Shikamaru knows he can summon Gamabunta?
That's impossible...
"Don't worry, with my Shadow Imitation Technique and your Shadow Clones, plus our advance intelligence and ambush, we'll definitely succeed. We might even defeat them quickly and catch up to support Sasuke and the others." Shikamaru was confident, absolutely certain of his success.
Even if he controls them for just a second, Naruto can unleash his Shadow Clone Jutsu and instantly kill them. There's a slight risk, but if they seize the opportunity, their chances of winning are at least 99%, which is more than enough!
Although Xiao Li could also accomplish this kind of assassination at lightning speed, he had to prioritize supporting Ishikawa with his strongest forces.
Yes, in Shikamaru's opinion, Rock Lee is much stronger than Naruto!
"Then we won't stand on ceremony." "Naruto, Shikamaru, we'll wait for you up ahead." Sasuke and Karin exchanged a glance and immediately agreed despite Naruto's objections.
Naruto's eyes lit up when he saw this. Thinking of the toad boss, he immediately suppressed his thoughts and nodded in agreement, "Alright, I will finish the battle and catch up with you soon."
Hmph, once the battle is over, he'll summon the toad boss to give Sasuke a surprise. No matter what kind of Jonin or that monster Gaara, they'll all become his Naruto grandpa's defeated opponent!
At that time, besides Ishikawa, the one who will steal the spotlight is Naruto Uzumaki...
"Go! Ishikawa won't be able to hold out for long." Karin didn't hesitate any longer. She explained the nine people's route to Shikamaru and immediately turned to leave.
Sasuke and Lee naturally had no objections and immediately followed at full speed.
Meanwhile, in Ishikawa...
"You damned dog-headed bird monster, you've angered me!" After another burst of feathers, Shukaku yelled angrily and formed hand seals with its claws.
"Wind Release: Infinite Sandstorm - Great Breakthrough..."
With a series of whooshing sounds, a storm, like a Category 10 hurricane, swept up sand and dust, not only blowing the feathers away but also turning them into its own attack method.
Moreover, the sand and dust filling the sky also interfered with visibility to some extent, making it difficult for Guiya Luo to accurately dodge.
Despite Ishikawa covering his left eye to shield it from the sand and dust and giving a timely warning, Oniyama was still accidentally bombarded by dozens of feathers, forcing his right wing to the ground.
"Hahaha, we took it down! We finally took it down!" Shukaku laughed triumphantly upon seeing this, and then opened his mouth to unleash another training bullet.
Guiya Luo naturally dodged quickly, then turned around and instinctively opened his canines, unleashing a crimson flame like a river of fire that engulfed Shukaku.
[As expected, Oni-Garra's combat awareness is still too weak, relying solely on instinct to fight...] Ishikawa's expression changed slightly upon seeing this, and he quickly formed a hand seal with his right pupil while simultaneously pulling out a sealing scroll and opening it.
Almost simultaneously, "Hehehe, you stupid ugly monster, go to hell!"
Shukaku, unfazed by the howling flames, grinned and unleashed another powerful wind-style attack.
In an instant, the wind fueled the fire, and the fire amplified the wind's power.
Driven by the gale, Guiya Luo's river of fire instantly surged upstream and enveloped him. The enormous range and speed of the impact left Guiya Luo with no time to dodge.
Under Shukaku's surprised gaze, Kiyora didn't even have time to dodge before being engulfed in a raging inferno...
"Hahaha, I killed it! I killed it! I finally killed that wretched monster!!" Upon seeing this, Shukaku threw his head back and laughed wildly, completely out of control.
But just as it was gesturing wildly and laughing hysterically, "Lightning Release: Wind Demon Shuriken Shadow Clone..."
Amidst the sea of fire, a voice suddenly erupted, and a wind demon shuriken crackling with lightning bolts shot out.
The next instant, the lightning-streaked wind demon shuriken split in two, then four, then eight, and finally sixteen...
In less than a breath, a single Fuma Shuriken transformed into hundreds of lightning-streaked ninja tools that enveloped Shukaku like a raging storm.
