His ninja vest was scorched, and the nearby muscles were briefly numbed, instantly hampering his movement.
The remaining attacks rained down on him.
There were far too many ninja for Inuzuka Retsu to handle alone!
"Woof!"
The ninja dog Kurokawa charged forward and sank his teeth into a Kumogakure ninja's wrist.
But the next second, another nearby Kumogakure ninja punched him away.
After rolling several times across the ground, Kurokawa slammed into a large tree and finally stopped.

But the ninja dog did not remain for long.
Before the kunai reached it, the chakra sustaining the summoning ran out, and
