"Shadow Smoke Screen Technique!"
Several smoke grenades were thrown, and Shikamaru's shadow enveloped the smoke grenades as he moved towards the squad that was trying to stop them.
Just as they were about to get close, the smoke grenade exploded, obscuring their vision.
"Walk!"
Sasuke took a step, and his figure veered to the side.
Hinata followed closely behind.
"Don't worry, trust Shikamaru and the others." Perhaps knowing what Naruto behind the scenes wanted to say.
Sasuke interrupted Naruto, expressing that he hated himself even more than Naruto did.
He's too weak; he needs to be much stronger!
At least they wouldn't have let Orochimaru toy with them like that and then let him escape.
"Cough cough--!"
The group of people who were blown apart at close range by the smoke bomb waved their hands to disperse the smoke around them. When they looked up, they saw that Naruto and the others were no longer there.
"Asshole!"
The girl who had just spoken shouted angrily.
"Tayuya, dealing with them first and then chasing after them is the same thing," Jirobo, standing behind Tayuya, said.
Shut up! I know that without you saying it!
Kidomaru, standing beside him, glanced disdainfully at Shikamaru and the others, thinking that these guys were nothing in his eyes.
Shikamaru didn't react to the other side's disdain; getting Naruto and the others to leave was the best outcome.
As for... these guys in front of me.
Looking at the Forehead Protector they were wearing, Shikamaru unconsciously frowned.
A symbol I've never seen before, is it from the Little Ninja Village?
"You little insects of Konoha, hand over your scrolls, and perhaps I'll let you die a less painful death."
Jirobo looked at Shikamaru and the others in front of him, and spoke in a deep, gruff voice, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
"I'm really sorry, although I hate trouble..." Shikamaru had already raised his hands and started forming hand seals, "I hate even more people trying to harm my comrades."
"Do it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shikamaru's shadow was already pointing directly at Tayuya, who was standing at the very front of the group.
Upon seeing this, Kidomaru grinned, his mouth bulging out as he spat out a large amount of spider silk.
A tall wall instantly blocked Shikamaru's attack route.
Jirobo stepped forward and charged at Shikamaru, swinging his fist.
"Your opponent is me!" Choji roared, his hands instantly growing to enormous size, and his giant fists smashed towards Jirobo.
Jirobo remained unfazed by the enormous fist and slammed his hands into the ground.
"Earth Release: Earth Release: Earth Shore Return!"
Boom--!
A huge stone slab was lifted from the ground to block Choji's punch.
With a tremendous roar, the stone slab shattered, and Choji was thrown back several steps by the force of the recoil.
This guy's Earth Release is a powerful technique) is incredibly tough!
Taking advantage of the gap, Ino turned to the other side Tayuya used the Mind Body Switch Technique on Ino.
An invisible wave rushed directly towards Tayuya.
Snort!
Tayuya snorted coldly, raised her flute in the back of her hand and began to play, directly deflecting Ino's spell.
"The Magic Flute: Magic Sound Lock!"
Strange sound waves radiated directly towards Ino.
"Genjutsu?" Ino sensed the fluctuation and was taken aback. She immediately withdrew her hands and formed a hand seal.
"Ninja Art: Mind Body Disturbance Technique!"
Since she couldn't control it, she could simply use her Chakra to disrupt the flow of her opponent's Chakra.
As expected, the technique worked immediately, Tayuya the flute music of Duoyou instantly became disordered and out of tune.
While it couldn't completely crack the code, it was enough to prompt Ino to launch an attack.
Boom--!
Choji broke through Jirobo's attack once again, and couldn't help but swing his slightly numb fist.
This guy is incredibly strong!
Pooh!
Jirobo spat out a mouthful of saliva, amazed that this chubby little boy could actually withstand his attacks.
Seeing that he still couldn't defeat Choji, Jirobo stopped hesitating, even though staying in this state for too long might make him lose his mind.
But he didn't believe that the chubby boy in front of him could withstand it!
"Ah--!"
Thinking of this, Jirobo let out a loud shout, and all the Chakra in his body suddenly erupted.
Choji was just about to attack, stopped abruptly. What was this guy trying to do?
Um?
As Jirobo shouted, his muscles began to swell, and strange patterns began to coil around his skin from the back of his neck.
"Ha ha!"
Jirobo burst into loud laughter, feeling so good about this abundance of Chakra!
Earth Release: Earth Prison Dome!
The ground beneath Choji's feet rose up around him, forming a hemispherical structure of earth and stone that seemed to be trapping Choji.
Looking at the earth and rocks that were gradually closing in, Choji let out a deep breath and swallowed a dumpling.
He spread his arms wide, his Chakra surging forth, and roared, "Partial Expansion Jutsu: Push Hands!"
Its two arms grew enormous, heading towards the surrounding earthen prison, precisely finding the weakest point in the structure, and exerting force with all its might.
Boom--!
The still-unfinished earthen prison collapsed instantly under this immense force, Jirobo stared wide-eyed at the scene before him.
This fat guy! He actually has that kind of Chakra!
Shikamaru glanced in Choji's direction, and the shadow beneath his feet once again pierced the spider silk coming towards him.
"You bastard!"
Seeing this, Kidomaru was furious. This guy was truly disgusting; if he got close, he would be bound by those shadows.
If you keep your distance, the spider silk will be completely ineffective.
Thinking of this, all six arms that had been hidden were revealed, and he let out a loud shout.
Shikamaru frowned. Six arms?
What kind of monster character is this...?
Kidomaru, now in Cursed Seal form, clenched his fist, glanced at Shikamaru with a disdainful smile, and immediately began to move.
Whoosh--
The speed was even faster than before, and countless spider silks rushed towards Shikamaru from all angles, trying to restrict his movements.
Shikamaru narrowly escaped the shadow beneath his feet, his eyes quickly scanning his surroundings.
"Too slow! Too slow! Your shadow can't even touch me anymore!"
Kidomaru's voice echoed from all around, filled with mockery.
"This guy..."
Shikamaru did not respond; his mind was racing, considering possible actions.
The landing spot, Kidomaru's attack habits, and the characteristics of his spider silk...
In an instant, Shikamaru came up with a plan, and a smirk appeared on his face.
As the next strand of spider silk came toward him, Shikamaru seemed to dodge it, and the silk stuck to his left foot.
Sure enough, this deliberate flaw caught Kidomaru's eye.
Chance!
With a sinister grin, he pounced down from the height, his six arms outstretched, ready to deliver a fatal blow to Shikamaru.
"Within the range..."
Shikamaru chuckled and slammed his hands onto the ground, "Shadow Gathering Technique - Black Coffin!"
The shadows beneath their feet paused for a moment, then spread outwards.
Just as it touched Kidomaru's range, the black shadow soared into the sky, directly enveloping Kidomaru's figure.
"What?!"
Kidomaru only had time to utter those words before he was enveloped by a dark shadow.
