Yin Seal, release!
Asuma released the Yin Seal and immediately created three Shadow Clones to handle Bunpuku's other attacks.
The Chakra chains danced like snakes, as though they possessed lives of their own. Even though Asuma was incredibly fast, they could still precisely track his movements.
Moreover, the number of Bunpuku's Chakra chains continued to increase. In the blink of an eye, there were sixteen of them, writhing like long serpents and sealing off Asuma's path.
Asuma simply stopped dodging and swung his blade. With a clang, he severed one of the Chakra chains.
But the toughness of the Chakra chains startled him. His strike had nearly failed to cut through it.
"Luckily, I raised the level of Lightning Style Chakra Nature Transformation. Otherwise, Lightning Style Sword Technique wouldn't have been able to cut these Chakra chains."
Asuma was secretly alarmed.
The three Shadow Clones behind him broke through Bunpuku's other attacks and caught up, flashing like three bolts of purple lightning as they severed chain after chain.
Behind them, the hearts of the Konoha ninja were nearly in their throats as they stared fixedly at the purple electric light flashing continuously through the air.
20 meters!
10 meters!
Suddenly, a piercing cry rang out.
"Yoo-ha!"
"Finally, I'm out!"
Asuma's gaze sharpened. Bunpuku's body abruptly transformed completely into Shukaku, rapidly expanding in size as an enormous claw swiftly filled his field of vision.
The One-Tail Shukaku had been fully released!
Asuma did not dodge. Electric light extended from him, and the blade in his hand rapidly lengthened. With a hiss, it sliced through the oncoming Shukaku's Claw.
Boom!
Shukaku's Claw hit the ground and immediately collapsed into rolling grains of sand.
"Retreat!"
The moment Chiyo saw Shukaku had been released, she gave the order.
The Sand Ninja immediately fell back
