On the training ground.
Sasuke swiftly took out steel wire and wrapped it around the rings at the ends of the kunai in Naruto and Sakura's hands.
Uchiha You's Shadow Clone did not stop them.
He merely stood where he was, calmly watching the three of them.
"Finished discussing?"
Sasuke raised his head.
"Yes."
"Then make your move."
"Just what I was thinking."
As soon as Sasuke finished speaking, Sakura charged out first.
This time, she did not circle around.
Instead, she chose to attack head-on.
Chakra frantically gathered around her right fist.
"Chakra-Enhanced Strength again?"
The Three-Tomoe Sharingan in the Shadow Clone's eyes slowly spun.
The instant Sakura entered his attack range, he stepped to the side and easily dodged her punch.
But Sakura did not change direction at all.
Uchiha You was never her target to begin with.
The ground was!
"Break open!"
Boom!
Her fist slammed down.
The entire training ground shook violently once more.
Countless shattered stones shot into the air, and thick clouds of dust obscured everyone's vision.
At the same time, Naruto's remaining Shadow Clones formed hand seals.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
A violent wind blew in from every direction.
Instead of dispersing, the dust was swept up by the wind into a massive sandstorm vortex that enveloped Uchiha You's Shadow Clone.
The Sharingan could indeed see through chakra.
But the flying sand and shattered stones could still interfere with vision.
The Shadow Clone's gaze swept across his surroundings.
The next moment.
Two piercing whistles rang out at once.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Naruto and Sakura threw the two kunai they had already seized into the dust from different directions.
Both kunai were connected to long, thin steel wires.
"I see."
The Shadow Clone instantly saw through their plan.
"You want me to catch the kunai?"
