Mind Body Switch Technique, Activate!

The mountain wind rustled the leaves.

That gust was like a signal to attack!

More than a dozen ninja surged forward, each wielding a ninja blade as they chose opponents to surround. They wanted to use their offensive momentum to completely split up Team Seven!

Their movements alternated without interfering with one another, immediately revealing that they were no ordinary opponents. Their seamless coordination made Kakashi increasingly wary!

Clang! Clang!

Kakashi Hatake's kunai continuously blocked three or four incoming ninja blades, but he had no time to seize the opportunity and counterattack for an advantage. Instead, he turned to look at his three subordinates!

Shadow Clone Jutsu!

To his surprise, the three children had maintained their formation. Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha guarded the two sides, and they had even protected their client in the middle.

Thanks to Naruto Uzumaki's Shadow Clone Jutsu, over a hundred Naruto Uzumakis protected their safety. However, it was only a matter of time before their formation collapsed!

Naruto's Shadow Clones simply could not withstand a single strike from the enemy, and these enemies destroyed them with astonishing speed!

Perhaps in the next instant, their formation would completely fall apart under the enemies' relentless assault, because the enemies were powerful!

At the very least, Kakashi Hatake had already determined that the four ninja attacking him were all jōnin-level opponents!

"Sasuke, fall back! You can't hold on any longer!"

Naruto Uzumaki gripped his kunai tightly and blocked a ninja blade. After flinging out a Rasengan that sent one enemy flying, he grabbed Sasuke, who was still desperately trying to counterattack, and said in a low voice, "I'll take the lead. Support me!"

"Tch, got it!"

Sasuke Uchiha tightly gripped four shuriken and threw them out, trying to intercept the enemy's attack!

However, he had not expected the enemy to simply swing their ninja blades and easily knock all the shuriken aside, even striking several Shadow Clones by mistake!

Seven or eight enemies swiftly closed in again. They did not even spare a glance for the comrade Naruto had defeated with his Rasengan!

They were a group of cold-blooded creatures!

After one of Naruto Uzumaki's Shadow Clones charged at an enemy with a Rasengan, that enemy's comrade swung his blade and cut the clone apart!

Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!

Naruto Uzumaki raised the Rasenshuriken in his hand and charged at the enemy with it like a massive weapon!

Even the force of the airflow generated by the Rasenshuriken was enough to make these enemies realize that it was not something a human body could withstand!

One ninja lowered his ninja blade, formed hand seals, and unleashed a defensive ninjutsu. "Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!"

A towering earthen wall rose from the ground!

What he never expected was for the Rasenshuriken to swiftly slice through the wall, splitting his entire body in two in an instant!

Blood sprayed everywhere!

After witnessing that scene, the other enemies turned their attention toward Naruto Uzumaki. Two of their comrades had been defeated in succession by that blond brat; they could not afford to be careless anymore!

The ninja leader overseeing the ambush on Team Seven was Yamanaka Fu, Shimura Danzō's confidant. He frowned and silently landed at a distance. His hands slowly came together as he stared through the gap between them at the blond boy!

Of the three little brats in Team Seven, Naruto Uzumaki was undoubtedly the greatest threat. Sasuke Uchiha barely looked like a ninja, while the pink-haired girl was no different from an ordinary newly graduated brat!

As long as he could control Naruto Uzumaki, this battle could be resolved immediately. Then, they could repeat their previous tactic and surround Kakashi Hatake, ending this mission.

Mind Body Switch Technique, activate!

However, when he used his clan's secret technique to invade Naruto Uzumaki's consciousness, he entered a sinister water prison. The massive demon fox opened its eyes and looked down at him as if it were staring at an ant that did not know its place...

"Is this the Nine-Tails?"

Within a Jinchuriki's mental space, there were already two consciousnesses fighting for control. No matter what, neither of them would allow an outsider like the Yamanaka Clan to join the struggle!

Yamanaka Fu understood that it was impossible for his will to take over Naruto Uzumaki's body. He did not waste any time and hurriedly withdrew from Naruto Uzumaki's mental space. He did not believe his will could defeat the strongest tailed beast!

Just one look had made him afraid to meet its gaze!

The greatest nemesis of the Yamanaka Clan's Mind Body Switch Technique in the entire shinobi world had to be monsters like Jinchuriki!

Yamanaka Fu moved quickly enough that Naruto Uzumaki only sensed something intruding into his mental space before that strange feeling vanished.

The battle was urgent, and Naruto Uzumaki had no time to investigate what had happened. His Shadow Clones were falling beneath the enemies' blades one after another...

"Hey, Sasuke..."

Naruto Uzumaki watched as the enemies drew ever closer and said quietly, "In a moment, I'll use a more powerful technique. I'll give you a signal beforehand. Take Sakura and the chairman and run immediately!"

"Got it!"

Sasuke Uchiha knew how dire the situation was. Their jōnin instructor, Kakashi, was also being held back by several enemies, and he had even suffered blade wounds!

At a time like this, the only thing he could do was rely on Naruto Uzumaki's Shadow Clones to die for them and wait for an opportunity to turn things around...

Even the Dead Last in his eyes had defeated two enemies!

A wave of shame rose in Sasuke's heart...

He tightly gripped the kunai in his hand...

Rasengan!

Naruto Uzumaki tightly held two Rasengan in his hands. He wanted to use the move that had defeated Ebisu before!

The chakra vortices twisted continuously...

The two Rasengan drew closer and closer. They were about to merge together, turning into a chaotic and dangerous chakra vortex just as they had before...

A kunai stabbed out from an unexpected angle!

It viciously plunged into Naruto Uzumaki's waist!

Sakura Haruno stared in shock at Sasuke Uchiha standing before her and cried out in panic, "Hey, Sasuke-kun, what are you doing?!"

Sasuke Uchiha did not answer Sakura. Instead, he abruptly pulled out the kunai, and judging by his movements, he intended to stab Naruto again!

The chakra vortex dissipated into thin air...

Naruto Uzumaki had been caught off guard and injured, throwing the chakra in his body into disorder!

He turned and dodged Sasuke's attack, looking at his teammate with shock and confusion in his eyes. "...Sasuke, do you know what you're doing?"

Sasuke answered with an attacking kunai!

"Naruto, it's the Mind Body Switch Technique!"

Kakashi Hatake finally found an opening in the distance, but he only had time to provide his subordinates with information. "Someone used the Mind Body Switch Technique to control Sasuke! I know who they are now!"

When Kakashi Hatake first saw Sasuke Uchiha attack Naruto, his heart clenched. Once Team Seven fell into internal conflict or Naruto Uzumaki was injured, they would no longer have any ability to resist the enemy!

But when his gaze inadvertently caught sight of a ninja making a peculiar hand gesture, he immediately understood everything!

That was a ninja from the Yamanaka Clan!

Unfortunately, it did nothing to change the battle, because Kakashi was being besieged by four jōnin and could barely protect himself. Trying to rescue his subordinates was nothing more than wishful thinking!

Team Seven could only save themselves!
