"Hmph, you're overestimating yourselves!"
The two Sunagakure ninja exchanged a glance and formed hand seals at the same time. "Sand Release: Sand Clone!"
In an instant, countless sand clones surged out of the sand pile and pounced on Kawaki Aoba's group of three. "Drown in this sea of sand!"
"Sand clones!"
Yamada's expression changed as he hurriedly raised his shield. "Aoba, there are too many clones—we can't possibly take them all out!"
"We don't need to take them all out. We just need to find the real ones!"

Kawaki Aoba nodded, his figure flashing as he charged at the Sunagakure ninja on the left. "Wind Style: Wind Slash!" A sharp blade of wind slashed toward his opponent. "Let's see where you can run now!"
