Pig, Deer, and Butterfly

"Is it a combination of Ino-Shika-Cho?"

As soon as Shikaku Nara finished speaking, Uchiha Yue glanced deeply at Choza Akimichi beside him, then nodded to Shikaku Nara in front of him.

Right now, Uchiha Yue and Kushina Uzumaki need time to rest, which is perfect timing for Shikaku Nara to demonstrate the Ino-Shika-Cho -Uchiha Yue- Kushina Uzumaki trio's superb teamwork in front of them. Therefore, Uchiha Yue and Kushina Uzumaki naturally have no objections and are simply waiting for Shikaku Nara, Inoichi Yamanaka, and Choza Akimichi to deal with the Kumogakure ninja in front of them.

However, the number of Kumogakure attacking them was overwhelming. After replying to Shikaku Nara, Uchiha Yue couldn't help but worry about the situation of Shikaku Nara and his companions. After all, even though Shikaku Nara, Inoichi Yamanaka, and Choza Akimichi cooperated very well and were known as the Ino-Shika-Cho in the Shinobi World, could they really handle the overwhelming number of Kumogakure?

As if seeing the worry in Uchiha Yue's eyes, Kushina Uzumaki patted him hard on the shoulder and laughed, "Tsuki, don't underestimate Shikaku and the others' Ino- Uchiha Yue -Ino-Shika-Cho formation! Don't be fooled by the large number of Kumogakure in front of us; they probably won't even have a chance to make a move against Shikaku -Ino-Shika-Cho formation!"

Kushina Uzumaki shifted her gaze to Shikaku Nara, and then said, "Before I met Shikaku and the others, I always thought that Minato and I had the best teamwork. But since meeting Shikaku and the others, I've realized what teamwork truly means. Yue, if you're really worried about Shikaku and Shikaku others, then watch how they deal with those Kumogakure ninja! You can also Shikaku how the three of them work together!"

"Um!"

Upon hearing Kushina Uzumaki's words, Uchiha Yue nodded heavily and then prepared to watch the battle between the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.

While Uchiha Yue and Kushina Uzumaki were talking, the Kumogakure ninjas had already arrived in front of Shikaku Nara. Seeing that Shikaku Nara was the only one preparing to fight, the Kumogakure ninjas' eyes were filled with killing intent, and they were about to reap Shikaku Nara's life.

However, there was always someone protecting Shikaku Nara.

That person is none other than Ino-Shika-Cho -Choza Akimichi trio!

"Bang..."

Before the Kumogakure ninjas could even get close to Shikaku Nara, Choza Akimichi, controlling his gigantic body, stood directly in front of him. The Choza Akimichi Clan's secret technique granted Shikaku Nara both terrifying offensive capabilities and formidable defensive abilities. It seemed the Kunai wielded by the Kumogakure ninjas were completely unable to penetrate Choza Akimichi's defenses. Then, Uchiha Yue saw the gigantic Choza Akimichi successfully block the first wave of attacks from the Kumogakure ninjas.

However, hidden within the ranks of the Kumogakure ninja were also Jonin -level ninja. Sensing Choza Akimichi's astonishing defensive capabilities, the Kumogakure ninja prepared to unleash their Ninjutsu attacks. After all, the Kumogakure's Lightning Release Ninjutsu was renowned, possessing extremely aggressive offensive Ninjutsu. The Kumogakure ninja truly refused to believe that Choza Akimichi's Akimichi Clan secret technique could withstand their Kumogakure's signature Lightning Release.

Only...

Just as the Kumogakure ninjas were about to unleash their Ninjutsu, Choza Akimichi Shikaku Nara, who had been shielded behind Akimichi Choza, began Hand Seals!

As if mimicking the previous battle, Shikaku Nara, utilizing the Shadow cast by Choza Akimichi's massive frame, used the Nara Clan's secret technique almost without hesitation. It should be noted that the Nara Clan's secret technique is one of the strongest binding techniques in the Shinobi World, and also one of the strongest control-type Ninjutsu. Once controlled by Shikaku Nara's secret technique, unless the controlled person possesses some extremely powerful ability, they will never be able to break free from the Shikaku Nara Clan's secret technique until death.

Immediately afterwards...

Using his Purple Eye, Uchiha Yue could clearly see that the Kumogakure ninjas were completely powerless against Shikaku Nara's secret techniques. Among them, the Jonin- level Kumogakure ninjas were able to offer some resistance to Shikaku Nara's Nara Clan secret techniques. After all, controlling so many Kumogakure with the Nara Clan secret techniques was also making Shikaku Nara somewhat fatigued. Therefore, as the Jonin -level Kumogakure ninjas struggled to break free, Uchiha Yue quickly realized that Shikaku Nara's Chakra was about to be exhausted.

However, seeing those Jonin- level Kumogakure ninjas about to break free from Shikaku Nara's Nara Clan secret technique, even Uchiha Yue was no longer worried about the safety of Shikaku Nara and Choza Akimichi. This was because Inoichi Yamanaka, who had been hiding there, had appeared, and the instant Inoichi Yamanaka appeared, Uchiha Yue sensed an extremely strong fluctuation of spiritual energy emanating from Inoichi Yamanaka!

"Is Mr. Inoichi's secret technique of the Yamanaka Clan based on spiritual energy?"

Sensing the powerful fluctuations of spiritual energy, Uchiha Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, focusing all of his Purple Eye perception on Inoichi Yamanaka without hesitation. He wanted to learn the principles of using spiritual energy in combat from Inoichi Yamanaka. After all, most of Uchiha Yue's advantages stemmed from his own formidable spiritual energy. If he could learn the Uchiha Yue Yamanaka Clan's method of using Uchiha Yue energy in combat, his strength would undoubtedly increase even further.

Unfortunately, even though Uchiha Yue used his Purple Eye to carefully observe Inoichi Yamanaka, he still failed to grasp the principles behind the Yamanaka Clan's secret techniques.

However, Inoichi Yamanaka's appearance completely saved Shikaku Nara and Choza Akimichi.

Because, the instant Inoichi Yamanaka completed the Yamanaka Clan's secret technique, the Kumogakure in front of Shikaku Nara and Choza Akimichi all started killing each other!

"Yamanaka Clan - The Art of Martial Arts Amidst Mental Chaos!"

Using a secret technique of the Yamanaka Clan, Inoichi Yamanaka completely suppressed the spiritual energy of the Kumogakure ninja with his powerful mental energy. Immediately, Inoichi Yamanaka controlled the Kumogakure ninja, causing them to begin killing each other. Shikaku Nara and Choza Akimichi, who had previously used secret techniques, no longer needed to employ any. At this point, Shikaku Nara and Choza Akimichi only needed to watch the Kumogakure kill each other to end the battle.

At the same time, watching the Kumogakure ninjas slaughter each other, Uchiha Yue no longer needed to worry about the safety of the Ino-Shika-Cho -Cho trio. Instead, he used Uzumaki Clan Secret Technique to begin restoring his spiritual energy and Chakra. Then, after Uchiha Yue had fully recovered his spiritual energy and Chakra, he was faced with countless corpses of Kumogakure, clearly those killed by the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.

Looking at the expressions on the corpses of the Kumogakure ninjas, almost all of them showed shock, Uchiha Yue then turned his gaze to the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

"The Ino-Shika-Cho trio's teamwork is truly impressive!"
