Third match.
Senju Jueming vs. Nara Maru
Jueming stepped forward, casually found a spot, and lay prone on the ground. "You're too weak. Do whatever you want."
"..."
Nara Maru raised an eyebrow at that.
"Senju Jueming, don't you think you're looking down on your senior a little too much?"
The Nara Clan was renowned for its high intelligence.
Their presence was indispensable whenever battle strategies were being devised.
And the best way to deal with smart people was to ignore whatever they said or did.
I'll just carry out my own plan to the end.
So...
Jueming could not be bothered with Nara Maru. He even scratched his foot.
Mito Uzumaki: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Genma Shiranui: "How refined~!"
"!"
A flash of anger crossed Nara Maru's heart.
"This guy... does he think he can beat me just by lying there?! Hmph..."
Nara Maru immediately formed hand seals with both hands and used the Nara Clan's Shadow Secret Technique.
"Ninjutsu... Shadow Imitation Technique!"
The shadow beneath Nara Maru's feet suddenly stretched out and quickly connected to the space beneath Jueming.
"I've won."
Just as a smile appeared on Nara Maru's face, he suddenly sensed that something was wrong...
Because...
"Hmm?! Hmm?!"
Nara Maru exerted himself, trying to control Jueming's body.
However...
He discovered that, let alone making Jueming stand up...
He could not even make him twitch.
"What's going on?!"
Nara Maru was greatly shocked.
Even with his high intelligence, he could not immediately figure out what was happening.
A few seconds later...
After countless considerations, he arrived at an unbelievable conclusion.
"Could it be... Senju Jueming's strength is far beyond mine?!"
The duration and effectiveness of the Shadow Imitation Technique...
Depended on a combination of factors such as the caster's Chakra amount, Yin Release mastery, and physical strength.
