"Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags?"
Everyone present was startled when they saw the Exploding Tags.
What?
Even Jiraiya and Tsunade became wary, and were even concerned.
"What? What are Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags?"
Someone voiced the question. Everyone looked around in confusion; even Choji and Ino were stunned and did not understand.
"Shikamaru, you're the smartest among us. You should know, right?" Choji Akimichi asked Nara Shikamaru in his deep voice.
At that moment, Nara Shikamaru had already assumed a defensive stance.
As Choji Akimichi asked the question, Naruto, Sakura, Darui of the Land of Lightning, and Gaara of the Land of Wind all turned their gazes toward him.
When they saw the Exploding Tags and Xuanyu's brow twitched, they knew these tags were anything but simple.
After all,
given Xuanyu's current strength, there were very few ninjutsu worthy of his attention.
Nara Shikamaru took a deep breath before saying, "I only heard my father mention it. Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags are a Forbidden Technique, a very special kind of ninjutsu. Once someone is locked onto by one of these tags, it's almost a fight to the death!"
Huh?
They were still bewildered. What did being locked onto mean? A fight to the death?
Wasn't that a bit exaggerated?
Darui and Gaara both frowned, pondering what kind of supreme ninjutsu Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags were.
"How is it a fight to the death?" Naruto also leaned closer, his blinking eyes full of curiosity.
Nara Shikamaru sighed and said, "When an Exploding Tag detonates, it summons several more Exploding Tags to explode. Then those detonating tags summon even more tags, stacking one after another until the person locked onto is blown to death!"
Gasp.
The moment he said that, everyone was shocked.
A fight to the death like that?
What terrifying power.
