The instant the battle began, the Animal Path summoned a giant chameleon and climbed inside it with the Human Path.
Because the chameleon could blend into its surroundings and become invisible, the Konoha ninja were unable to locate them for the time being.
Being unable to find the Animal Path meant it could freely summon all kinds of powerful summoning beasts to wreak havoc on Konoha.
Under Kakashi Hatake's leadership, Konoha had already defeated several summoning beasts. The problem was that every time they defeated one, the Animal Path would summon another.
There was no end to it!
So, to deal with these summoning beasts, they had to defeat the Animal Path. There was no other way.
Kakashi glanced at Jiraiya, who had already charged toward the Deva Path and the Asura Path, then led his men to surround the Multi-Headed Dog the Animal Path had summoned.
"This beast has already split three times. We can't keep this up. Ordinary attacks don't work, so we'll seal it!"
"Where's the Sealing Squad?"
Elsewhere, the Ino-Shika-Cho Trio leaped continuously between Konoha's buildings.
The three moved quickly, seemingly searching for something.
Suddenly, Inoichi Yamanaka's expression shifted slightly as he held up his fingers to sense his surroundings. At the same time, his voice rang out in Shikaku Nara's and Choza Akimichi's minds.
The next second, the three twisted in midair and landed on a rooftop.
"Shadow Imitation Technique!"
"Super Multi-Size Technique!"
Shikaku Nara rapidly formed hand seals, and his pitch-black shadow became an arrow that shot toward a patch of shadow on the building.
Choza Akimichi instantly grew into a giant and readied his long staff to smash down!
We've been exposed?
Hidden inside the chameleon, the Animal Path and the Human Path realized their whereabouts had been exposed and prepared to leave.
