The Correct Way to Use the Legion Clone Technique

Hundreds of Ice Clone appeared instantly in front of Sakura amidst a cloud of smoke, following the surge of Chakra.

Ice Release: Legion Ice Clone is an upgraded version of Ice Release Water Release: Legion Water Clone.

Initially, this technique was developed for sparring or monster-slaying. Continuing the Legion Water Clone, the Legion Ice Clone are also crudely made, with blurry faces, skin and clothes that are not well simulated, full of the crystal-clear feeling of ice blocks, and the curves of their bodies are pieced together from straight lines of ice blocks, lacking the exquisite and beautiful features of ordinary Ice Clone.

Their features are indistinct, their expressions are indifferent, and their eyes are coldly fixed on the front. When they are lined up in a long row, they seem to exude an aura of military might.

Holding a long sword, standing tall and imposing, he exudes an awe-inspiring aura.

This is another area where the Legion Ice Clone are stronger than its Water Clone. Water Clone are ultimately too weak in combat, while the Legion Ice Clone, although crudely made, are not much weaker than ordinary Ice Clone. When their numbers increase, they become a real headache.

More importantly... it is also the Body Flicker Technique medium for the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals.

The moment Kakuzu unleashed her Ninjutsu, Kakuzu sensed the movement of the Ninjutsu being performed and burrowed into the mud, leaving only his head above ground.

"A clone?" Kakuzu a little surprised. "Is it Shadow Clone or Water Clone?"

Sakura didn't use that Water Release that would instantly kill him, which was within Kakuzu's expectations. He had already prepared to use Earth Release to hide, and that technique couldn't be used in front of him and still hit him.

However, Sakura Haruno summoning a clone was unexpected—he wasn't the kind of ninja who could be defeated by a clone!

Did they think they could buy time by using clones?

Despite his doubts, Kakuzu continued forming hand Hand Seals without stopping.

Fire Style: Great Flame Bullet!

He suddenly stood up from the ground, spewing out a blazing fireball.

Without using advanced Fire Style like the Searing Migraine, even Kakuzu has stopped recklessly squandering his Chakra.

However, the power of the Great Flame Bullet should not be underestimated. As an upgraded version of Fire Style: Flame Bullet, it has a higher core temperature and a wider explosion range, making it an excellent choice for clearing out Ninjutsu such as clones.

The fireball shot out from Kakuzu's mouth, growing larger in the air and instantly becoming a huge fireball tens of meters in diameter, which then blasted down towards Sakura and her Ice Clone.

Boom--!

The Great Flame Bullet struck the ground and exploded with terrifying force, its scorching flames engulfing everything in the area into ashes.

The heatwave, mixed with debris and dust kicked up by the explosion, Kakuzu onto Kakuzu's face, which was exposed above the ground. His expression was somber as he stared intently at the strange clones that were scattering in all directions.

Although the Fire Style was extremely powerful, to his surprise, the explosion did not cleanly and instantly eliminate most of Sakura's clones.

The clones' mobility far surpassed that of the Water Clone and Shadow Clone Kakuzu remembered. A large number of clones leaped at extremely high speed the moment the fireball struck, dodging Kakuzu's Ninjutsu and nimbly rushing towards him.

Kakuzu's eyes narrowed, and he immediately unleashed another Ninjutsu.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere!" "Earth Release: Rock Pillar Spears!"

The two level-one Ninjutsu were unleashed in unison: Wind Release covered the frontal battlefield, Earth Release cleared out any stragglers. Thanks to their tacit cooperation, the effect was far better than the previous Fire Style. A large number of Ice Clone were blasted apart and scattered, turning into ice shards and water vapor.

"Ice Clone?"

Kakuzu astutely noticed that after the effects of the several clone Ninjutsu pierced by the Rock Pillar Spears collapsed, they actually scattered into a pile of broken ice.

In that moment of distraction, several remaining Ice Clone rushed in front of him and swung their longswords at his chest.

Clang--

The ice sword collided with Kakuzu's physical body, producing a crisp, hard sound like metal clashing with stone. His flesh and blood body actually managed to firmly block the sharp blade of Ice Release!

It is Kakuzu's "Earth Release: Earth Spear," a Ninjutsu that can make the skin extremely hard!

Unable to cut it...?! Even the expressionless Ice Clone was momentarily stunned.

Before she could react, Kakuzu's black tentacles had already wrapped around her body.

With a snap, her neck was severed!

Swish--

A flash of cold light erupted, Sakura Haruno's figure Body Flicker Technique appeared beside her Ice Clone. Her ice blade swung swiftly, a flash of light tracing a silver arc in the air, severing the tentacle and striking towards Kakuzu.

"Nintaijutsu: Eight Slashing Blades!"

The Body Flicker Technique Sakura Haruno landed, she swung her sword. With a flick of her wrist, the blade shot upwards, aimed directly at Kakuzu's chest!

This strike is also called the Angdang slashing knife.

Similar to the concept of Wing Chun Hidden Kick, the Eight Slashing Blades technique emphasizes light movements, extremely fast strikes, and sharp, deadly cuts, making it extremely difficult to defend against.

The power of the Nintaijutsu was added to this strike, making it even more ferocious and unstoppable, with a sharper edge than the Nintaijutsu: Star Cannon Fist.

Call out!

The sharp, icy blade tore through the air with a piercing whistle, piercing straight into Kakuzu's body. "Earth Release: Earth Spear" was unsurprisingly pierced through with a single strike. With a single blow, Sakura Haruno cut Kakuzu in two!

The sensation of this cut was like being stuck in mud, not like the feeling of splitting flesh.

"Did you use Earth Substitute the moment you realized it was Ice Clone?" The girl frowned slightly as she looked at Kakuzu, who had turned into a puddle of mud.

Sakura Haruno's attack failed, and she couldn't help but feel a headache coming on from Kakuzu's extremely quick reaction.

So Kakuzu's momentary lapse in concentration just now was actually just him switching from his main body to a clone...

"You've been completely seen through..."

She exclaimed in admiration, but without hesitation, she used the Body Flicker Technique to teleport to one of the surviving Ice Clone at the edge of the battlefield.

Behind him, Kakuzu's Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere followed closely, but he only managed to touch the hem of the girl's afterimage's clothes before tearing the remaining Ice Clone and the severed tentacle thread that Sakura had cut into dust.

Although the scale of the battle wasn't as intense as the previous Ninjutsu duel, the pace actually quickened after Sakura and Kakuzu began using close-quarters combat and various swift and skillful Ninjutsu techniques to clash.

Kakuzu, who had just emerged from the ground and unleashed a pursuit Ninjutsu, was instantly surrounded and attacked by more than a dozen Ice Clone.

Earth Release: Rock Pillar Spears!

The stone pillar instantly killed several Ice Clones that rushed too fast to dodge. While the remaining clones were dodging, the black tentacles used the same trick again, emerging from the ground and binding the remaining Ice Clone tightly.

Fire Style: --!

Kakuzu had already completed half of the hand seals for the next Fire Release Ninjutsu, while keeping a close eye on Sakura Haruno's movements out of the Kakuzu of his eye.

As soon as she Body Flicker Technique appears on the Ice Clone, she will be met with a direct hit from Fire Style!

Of course, if she were to use Water Release: Wind Blade Torrent during this opportunity, then Kakuzu would have no choice but to obediently burrow into the floor again...

However, Sakura's next reaction was neither of the above.

"Ice Release: Ice Clone Explosion Technique!"

Five Ice Clone exploded simultaneously!

Boom!!

The violent explosion that was right next to them instantly shattered the Ice Clone into countless ice fragments, reducing the tough black threads binding them to countless tiny pieces. Then, the sound and power of the explosion completely engulfed Kakuzu!

In an instant, smoke and dust billowed, ice shards filled the air, and ice fragments covered the ground.

Then, Kakuzu's cold voice came from within the thick smoke.

"Is this all the boring tricks you have left?"

As the dust slowly settled, the tentacle monster's silhouette gradually became clearer.

Sakura Haruno stared intently.

Kakuzu's tall and burly body was pierced by hundreds of ice shards, which were pulled off one by one by his tentacles, leaving countless wounds, but not a single ice shard actually caused any effective damage.

"If that's all you're capable of."

He stared coldly at Sakura Haruno and said.

"Our battle is probably coming to an end..."

As a result, the murderous aura emanating from Kakuzu gradually faded.

(The Legion Ice Clone spell is quite useful, isn't it?)
