Impulse Killed Shikamaru

"Shikamaru and Konohamaru!"

Amidst the fierce battle, Sarutobi Asuma's face darkened. Facing three opponents— Naruto Uzumaki, Temari, and Shikamaru Nara —he was truly feeling the strain.

However, when he heard Obito's voice from behind the mask, Sarutobi Asuma's expression changed drastically. He snorted coldly and immediately made a decision.

The elusive masked Tobi filled Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi with apprehension; his Dōjutsu was simply too outrageous, especially since he could use it so freely.

"Hidan!"

Just then, Sarutobi Asuma shouted, and his Chakra weapon, Flying Swallow, filled with sharp Wind Release Chakra, flew rapidly towards Hidan.

Meanwhile, facing Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno, one unleashed Rasengan with seemingly unlimited chakra, while the other attacked with Chakra Enhanced Strength. Although Chakra 'Chakra Enhanced Strength wasn't yet at a masterful level, Shikamaru, who was constantly disrupting things with Shadow Imitation Technique from the sidelines, instantly enraged him.

Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere

Suddenly, Sakura Haruno Sarutobi Asuma spat out a series of wind bullets like sharp arrows, and Sakura Haruno screamed in pain as she suffered several abrasions on her arms and body.

Boom!

As for Naruto Uzumaki's Shadow Clone, they simply kept dissipating, and taking advantage of this opportunity Sarutobi Asuma quickly created distance.

Wind Release · Vacuum Great Sphere

Taking advantage of his weakness, Sarutobi Asuma, who had long since lost all conscience, continuously spewed out wind blades of bullets from his mouth, while also taking care of Shikamaru, who was harassing and ambushing from all sides.

"Sakura!"

Upon seeing Sakura injured, Naruto Uzumaki roared angrily, and in an instant, a massive amount of Chakra surged from his body.

Shadow Clone Jutsu

Bang bang~ Hundreds of Naruto Uzumaki were everywhere, each one making Rasengan and attacking Sarutobi Asuma.

Meanwhile, Hidan, who was fighting Kisame Hoshigaki in the distance, caught the Flying Swallow thrown by Asuma. Blood flowed from his palm, but he didn't care at all. Instead, he revealed a maniacal smile.

"Haha, a sacrifice to the Evil God, haha~"

As Kisame Hoshigaki frowned, Hidan, the Hidan, grinned maniacally and greedily licked the Flying Swallow with his tongue, as if trying to lick away every trace Asuma had left on it.

Meanwhile, his feet were using the blood flowing from his body to draw a bizarre pattern of circles and triangles on the ground.

Beneath his manic smile, Hidan's body began to change, instantly transforming into a stark black and white state.

"I'm going to offer a sacrifice to the Lord Jashin!"

Amidst maniacal laughter, he struck a bizarre pose, gripping the blood-red scythe in his Kisame Hoshigaki's astonishment, with a soft "plop," Kisame pierced his own abdomen.

The sharp tail of the crimson scythe pierced straight through his abdomen, and blood flowed down. At this Hidan, Hidan was laughing maniacally and excitedly, as if he had a masochistic constitution.

Upon seeing this, Kisame Hoshigaki's expression turned serious, and he immediately began to rapidly Hand Seals. Although he didn't know if the other party was going crazy or using some kind of perverted Ninjutsu, he wouldn't give him the chance.

Water Release: Water Severing Wave

Kisame Hoshigaki rapidly spat out a straight jet of water with extremely high pressure, instantly piercing Hidan's chest. However, faced with such an injury, Hidan laughed even more monstrously.

Haha~

After Kisame Hoshigaki landed a fatal blow, he quickly retreated, widening the distance between them. He frowned and cautiously stared at his opponent.

Hidan, seeing the wound that had reopened on his chest, couldn't help but show his anger. "Damn it! Don't you know how much it hurts?!"

"Could this guy really be immortal?!"

Upon witnessing this scene, Kisame Hoshigaki couldn't help but show a hint of apprehension; such immortality was simply too outrageous.

"Shikamaru!"

Just then, a furious roar rang out, and Hidan burst into maniacal laughter.

Meanwhile, Shikamaru, who had fallen from a large tree in the distance, suddenly developed two wounds on his abdomen and chest, from which blood continued to seep out.

Faced with the sudden change, Sakura and Naruto quickly stepped back, and Naruto hurriedly helped Shikamaru up.

"Damn it! Shikamaru, what's wrong with you?"

Naruto's loud shouts only made Shikamaru Nara break out in a cold sweat. "Impossible! I dodged Asuma's Wind Release Ninjutsu just now, it can't be!"

Because they were fighting Asuma, they naturally didn't know Hidan's methods. After all, no matter how high their intelligence was, they were already fully focused on Asuma, so they didn't have the extra energy to observe the battles of others.

"Haha~ The taste of fresh blood!"

Amidst Hidan's maniacal laughter in the distance, Sarutobi Asuma seized the opportunity to aid Hidan, and with a single, Flying Swallow attack, he clashed directly with Kisame Hoshigaki.

With a loud bang, Kisame's terrifying strength clearly gave him the upper hand, and he almost sliced his opponent in half with a single blow.

However, Sarutobi Asuma's next action caused Kisame Hoshigaki's small eyes to shrink, and he hurriedly shouted, "Everyone, don't get hurt!"

Fire Style: Ash Pile Burning

In an instant, flames shot into the sky from beneath the smoke, and the target of the attack was none other than his own comrade, Hidan. Just then, Kisame's loud shout drew everyone's attention.

"Cough cough, damn Asuma, your cigarette stench is unbearable."

As the fire subsided, Hidan, who had been protected by the Fire Style, seemed completely unaffected. He even waved his hand and coughed in disgust, as if trying to dispel the smoky smell from his breath.

"Shikamaru!"

However, with Naruto's roar, everyone showed expressions of shock and fear. At this moment, Shikamaru stared blankly at his own body in disbelief.

With extensive burns across his body, he could no longer speak, as his trachea had been severely burned.

Wind Release: Rasenshuriken

Just then, three Naruto suddenly jumped out from the forest. With an angry roar, they gathered a huge amount of Chakra in their hands, accompanied by a piercing booming sound.

Their target is Sarutobi Asuma.

"This Ninjutsu! We can't let it hit us!"

When everyone felt the terror of this Ninjutsu, they were all shocked, and at the same time, a thought arose in their minds: they absolutely must not be hit.

"Unforgivable! Unforgivable!"

With a roar, Naruto Uzumaki unleashed his Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, an S-Rank Ninjutsu, directly at Asuma.

Naruto Uzumaki's sneak attack was too sudden. Sarutobi Asuma had almost no room to dodge. His pupils contracted, revealing his fear of death.

However, the next moment, a blood-red scythe flew over, and the rope at its tail dragged Sarutobi Asuma over. When Naruto Uzumaki saw this, his pupils showed even more anger, and he hurled the giant Wind Release: Rasengan: Rasengan at his opponent.

As Hidan pulled Asuma to his side, he saw the Ninjutsu coming and slapped Asuma away, while Hidan himself opened his arms and revealed an excited and perverted smile.

Rumble~

With a deafening roar, the immense power of this Ninjutsu caused everyone to show signs of fear.

The swirling hurricane shattered the surrounding earth, causing those present who possessed Mangekyo to show expressions of apprehension.

Their Sharingan can see billions of Wind Release steel needles spinning wildly, a technique aimed at destroying cells.

Rumble~

It wasn't until much later that the terrifying power of this Ninjutsu gradually dissipated, and Hidan had been standing there, was already lying motionless on the ground.

After activating this Ninjutsu, Naruto Uzumaki had been thrown back, landed on the ground, clutching his arm with a pained expression on his face.

"Naruto!"

However, at that moment, Sakura Haruno's scream echoed through the sky, and Naruto's Shadow Clone beside her was filled with disbelief.

"Idiot! Who gave you permission to launch an attack so casually!"

At this moment, Kisame Hoshigaki angrily shouted, "Be careful of this person! He possesses the ability to take someone's blood and perform some kind of ritual to synchronize the damage he and the person he is inflicting!"

"What!"

Instantly, everyone turned to look in shock, only then realizing why Kisame had said they couldn't get hurt.

"Shikamaru!"

As soon as the Shadow Clone dissipated, Naruto Uzumaki instantly learned everything. His pupils dilated, and he stood before Shikamaru in disbelief.

"Shikamaru... Shikamaru..."

Naruto Uzumaki stared in disbelief at Shikamaru, who was completely limp. Shikamaru's eyes were fixed on him, as if blaming him for his impulsiveness.

Sakura, standing to the side, had tears welling up in her eyes, her hands radiating green medical Chakra, but there was nothing she could do.

"Naruto! Shikamaru's body cells died off on a massive scale instantly! Now! Now!"

Tears streamed down Sakura's cheeks. She didn't finish her sentence, but everyone knew what she meant.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"

Hidan, lying in the crater in the distance, painfully raised his head. Although he was immortal, almost all the cells in his body had been destroyed, so it was impossible for him not to feel pain.

"Damn it!"

Rumble~

However, at that moment, a deafening explosion suddenly erupted in the distance, and a sea of fire swept across the land, causing the earth to collapse.

Fire Style: Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame

A vast, white sea of fire swept across the land, melting the earth and creating streams of fiery red lava.

"Hidan, you idiot, get out of here!"

Just then, a white bird flew across the sky, and Deidara shouted in panic to his Akatsuki companions, "Uchiha Yoru! Run!"

Upon hearing the news of Uchiha Yoru, Kakuzu instantly and cleanly tossed into the air by one of his masked figures, flying towards the large white bird in the sky. At the same time, another masked monster swiftly flew into the pit, grabbed the Hidan, and flung it violently.

"Kakuzu, damn it, don't treat me like trash."

However, Hidan, who was cursing in space, was caught by Kakuzu's outstretched arm. At this moment, Kakuzu had no mind to argue with Hidan and directly shouted, "Shut up!"

"Deidara, hurry up and leave them just a few birds."

Kakuzu, being an old relic who has lived for nearly a hundred years, possesses such rich experience that even Deidara admires his decisiveness.

"Kakuzu, you're right."

With a thud, Deidara, leaving behind several large white birds, hurriedly began to flee.

With Kakuzu, this old-timer, in command, things were truly efficient and decisive, without the slightest bit of hesitation.

In the original work, Kakuzu's death was due to two reasons: one was carelessness, and the other was actually a murder mystery. After all, he had so many years of rich combat experience, yet he was killed off.

However, despite living for nearly a century, he didn't have much of a reputation in the Shinobi World, which shows Kakuzu's usual low profile and caution.

"Retreat immediately!"

The rest of the Akatsuki Organization members also hurriedly began to flee, while a booming sound erupted in the distance.

Countless Explosive Tag rained down from the sky, turning the entire area into a world of explosive tags.

One second they were locked in fierce combat, the next Akatsuki Organization were all fleeing.

There's no other reason than that the Fire Style that appeared from afar was simply too astonishing.

A single B-rank Fire Release Ninjutsu could completely obliterate an entire forest; this was something even S-rank Rogue Ninja could understand.

But not only was the forest destroyed, magma flowed beneath the cracked earth. Even from a great distance, the heatwave alone made everyone's nostrils burn; this Fire Style was far too terrifying.

Uchiha Yoru's strength is even more terrifying than it was three years ago!

Those S-rank Rogue Ninja were indeed extremely arrogant, but apart from a very few like Hidan, everyone who got to where they are today is a shrewd and capable individual.

This is no match for us on a completely different level. I'm not running! One hit of this Fire Release Ninjutsu and there won't even be any bone fragments left.

"Shikamaru!"

Tears streamed down Naruto Uzumaki's cheeks. He was filled with regret, while Shikamaru in his arms had already died. In his gray eyes, there seemed to be a last vestige of resentment.

Shikamaru probably never imagined that after fighting with his high intelligence his whole life, he would ultimately die because of his comrade's impulsiveness.

In the end, Shikamaru Nara didn't even leave a single last word.

"Hmph, Kakashi, it seems your subordinates are quite strong, but not so smart."

When Kisame Hoshigaki saw this tragic scene, he was filled with anger. He turned to look at Naruto Uzumaki and coldly snorted, "Kid, you're lucky today. Your impulsiveness only killed one person."

Kisame Hoshigaki turned and walked away into the distance without looking back, coldly saying, "I will report back truthfully when I get back. Also, I don't want to do missions with this impulsive brat anymore."

While powerful ninjas are popular, impulsive ninjas are always prone to causing trouble, especially in battle, where they can disrupt various plans.

In the original work, Naruto Uzumaki is known as the number one ninja with unexpected abilities, which can only be attributed to the protagonist's halo. Otherwise, given the cruelty of ninja missions, an ordinary person would have died countless times by now.

"Naruto!"

Sasuke Uchiha walked over at this moment, looking at Naruto and not knowing what to say. This time, Naruto really acted too impulsively.

And then there Konohamaru, who was quite badly injured in the distance, his eyes gleaming with anger—they were practically cut from the same cloth.

Gaara calmly crossed his arms and chose to leave, while Temari revealed a mocking expression when she saw this.

"What a harmful brat!"

Temari's gaze was clearly fixed on Konohamaru in the distance. When she looked at Naruto again, she couldn't help but tease him, "Naruto, you should be grateful that you have great power and a powerful background. Otherwise, someone like you would probably be Genin for life."

"Even if you're lucky enough to become Chunin, I doubt anyone will team up with you. After all, teaming up with you requires being incredibly lucky to survive."

Temari spoke calmly, but Sakura, seeing this, couldn't help but say, "Stop talking, Naruto is already suffering enough."

Naruto Uzumaki stared blankly at Shikamaru in his arms, as if he had lost his soul.
