"Yohohoho..."
Four figures flew swiftly overhead in the dense forest.
The wings behind Hongshi flapped more than five times the frequency of Gyokucha and the others. Unable to bear the burden, the Chakra Furnace on his chest clicked and emitted a puff of blue smoke.
"Huh? What's that burnt smell?"
Hongshi's body plummeted rapidly.
"Ah!"
Hanabi Hyuga: " Gyokucha- neechan, Hongshi- nii has fallen!"
Gyokucha: "Oh, ignore him, let's keep flying."
"Damn it, I'm your boss!"
"Cut."
Gyokucha and the other two flew forward nonchalantly, quickly bypassing the Venomous Snake Valley, and saw Naruto and the others who were fighting a fierce battle.
Naruto, holding Kunai, was struggling to fight two Sound Ninja, and appeared to be running out of Chakra.
Sakura and Rock Lee worked together to fight back against dozens of Sound Ninja, and under the protection of the Chakra Cloak, they didn't suffer much damage. Moreover, their Chakra seemed inexhaustible.
However, Rock Lee's Chakra Cloak quickly disappeared, not because it was consumed, but because it was absorbed by his Samehada physique. His muscles swelled up all over his body, making him look like a block of iron, without affecting his speed.
"Ah!"
Another member of the Hyuga Clan was hit and fell to the ground by the Sound Ninja, and the encirclement was getting smaller and smaller.
Choji was also hit by several Shuriken, the poison turning his lips black, but due to his special constitution, he only lost some of his fighting ability.
Choji pulled the Shuriken his chest and took out Three-Colored Pills from his pocket. " My Chakra has reached its limit."
Ino dodged the Kunai and saw Choji swallow the green pill. " Choji! You can't eat that!"
Choji smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just Spinach Pill."
"There's a flaw!"
A tall Sound Ninja leaped out of the bushes behind the two, wielding a giant sword and slashing down at Ino.
Unexpectedly, Choji suddenly leaped backward, striking the Sound Ninja in the abdomen with his right elbow. "You bastard, you can't attack my comrade!"
"Bite!"
This Sound Ninja was also very strong. In desperation, he pulled back his greatsword to block his chest, and the immense power contained in his elbow strike sent him and his sword flying.
"What terrifying power! What on earth did that brat just eat?!"
Before the Greatsword Sound Ninja could react, Ino had already turned around, her hands forming a hand seal she had never seen before. "Secret Technique: Mind Body Switch Technique!"
The giant Sound Ninja's body trembled, and at the same time, Ino Yamanaka collapsed next to Choji.
Choji looked at the giant Sound Ninja: "Did you succeed?"
The greatsword- Sound Ninja nodded. At that moment, two more Sound Ninja Sound Ninja approached him. "These two brats are the captain, we..."
"Swoosh! Swoosh!"
The Greatsword Sound Ninja was under the influence of the Mind Body Switch Technique, controlled by Ino's spirit. Taking advantage of their momentary lapse in concentration, the Greatsword slashed out, striking both of them in the chest.
Choji, who had been protecting Ino's body, watched as more and more Sound Ninja gathered around. "This is bad."
Sakura shouted to Rock Lee was getting increasingly excited during the fight, " Rock Lee, Tenten, hurry up and help the raiding squad!"
"Oh! Got it! Youth Concerto! Ah-da!"
Gate of View Li kicked away a Sound Ninja in front of him, then immediately leaped high into the air and charged towards the battle between Choji and Ino.
Tenten hovered in the air, recovering her Chakra. Because the battle on Choji's side was too chaotic, and the number of Sound Ninja was five times that of the two assault teams, they did not use ninja tool scrolls for fear of friendly fire.
After recovering from their initial panic, the Sound Ninja began their orderly attack. With the help of the Shuriken, nearly half of the twenty members of the assault team had been lost, leaving only Ino Choji, four Hyuga clan members, and four relatively strong Genin.
Choji ordered two injured and poisoned Genin to protect Ino, while he himself used his Human Bullet Tank to charge towards the Sound Ninja.
Tenten, Chakra had not yet fully recovered, saw that Rock Lee had begun to attack Choji's side and that the assault force had already hit a point and begun to defend. She untied the large scroll she was carrying on her back and unfurled it in the air. "The strongest and most powerful! Manipulation Tool: Heavenly Lock Disaster!"
The large scroll seemed to float in the air and unfurl rapidly. Once unfurled, various ninja tools of all sizes were summoned from the scroll and rained down in a dense, downpour, even creating a dark shadow on the ground.
"Holy crap, just how rich is this kid?!"
"Is this... is this the power of money?!"
The dense array of ninja tools left them nowhere to hide, but the remaining Sound Ninja were the strongest of the group. Some used Earth Release Ninjutsu to defend themselves, while others used their fallen comrades as human shields.
The rain of ninja tools had finished, but the effect was not ideal; it only killed a few people, but it bought precious time.
Choji's Human Bullet Tank took down a lone Sound Ninja, and seeing the Sound Ninja raining down defensive ninja tools, he gritted his teeth and said, "For Konoha!"
He took out the yellow Curry Pill, leaped high into the air, and swallowed it without hesitation. After swallowing the Curry Pill, his Chakra increased instantly, and he was in a state of overload. However, the side effect of the Curry Pill made his body weak and unable to use Taijutsu such as the Human Bullet Tank. He quickly Hand Seals.
"Secret Technique: Super Multi-Size Technique!"
"Bang!"
The Akimichi Clan's secret technique, the Super Multi-Size Technique, is ten times larger than the Multi-Size Technique. Its usage conditions are extremely high. After consuming the Curry Pill, the Chakra was just enough to barely use it, causing the body to swell up like a small mountain and press down.
Just as the Sound Ninja had dodged the barrage of ninja tools and lowered their defenses, they spotted Choji's figure in the air.
"What kind of Ninjutsu is this?! Are all the Genin of Konoha devils?!"
Although he kept shouting, his feet were not idle; he quickly jumped away.
"Boom!"
Choji's massive body pressed down, the Super Multi-Size Technique greatly enhancing his muscle strength, making them as hard as iron, leaving huge marks on the ground.
He was only thirteen years old, and the Super Multi-Size Technique could not be maintained for long. After crashing into the ground, his body began to shrink rapidly, and more than twenty Sound Ninja died at his hands.
"My body... I can't move."
Choji, lying on the ground, didn't even have the strength to turn over. His whole body felt as if it were being pierced by countless steel needles, causing him excruciating pain.
" Choji!"
After Ino, who was possessed by the greatsword-wielding Sound Ninja, cut down another Sound Ninja, her Mind Body Switch Technique had reached its time limit, and her spirit returned to her original body.
Just as the Sound Ninja were about to finish off Choji, Rock Lee rushed over, picked up Choji's body, and broke free from the encirclement.
" Choji! Your Ninjutsu is amazing!"
"Li, you... you're really strong too."
The Sound Ninja were very wary of the Konoha Genin and dared not approach easily. Instead, they threw out ninja tools to launch a long-range attack.
Rock Lee, however, was fearless. Even if he was slow-witted, he had already learned about his special physique during the battle. He directly faced the ninja tools, blocked them with his nunchucks, and charged into the Sound Ninja formation.
Choji, watching the increasing number of Sound Ninja and the Hyuga clan members constantly using Gentle Fist to deflect ninja tools, thought, "There are still too many Sound Ninja. This is the only way."
Having said that, his trembling right hand pulled out the last red Chili Pill, ready to fight desperately.
However, Ino stopped him. " Choji, you'll die if you eat this! I still have my strongest technique, which can win, but I'm not very proficient at it yet. After using it, I might fall into a coma for two days. Success or failure hinges on this."
Choji lay on the ground, looking at Ino's resolute eyes, before putting away the Chili Pill: " Ino, I believe in you."
If Chili Pill is ingested and proper treatment is not received in time, the body will be overloaded, leading to death.
Ino sat cross-legged on the ground. "I'm going to begin!"
Ino closed her eyes, sensing the positions of the Sound Ninja around her. After completely confirming the targets she could attack, she took a deep breath, trying to relax as much as possible, and calculated the best attack route. "Only ten seconds left, Spirit Transformation Technique!"
The Spirit Transformation Technique is a powerful Ninjutsu that releases all Chakra and one's spirit outside the body to carry out invisible assassinations. Under the guidance of Dan Katō, Ino has already learned some of it. However, due to her own Chakra and lack of proficiency, she can only maintain it for a very short time before she has to return to her body. Otherwise, she will either fall into a coma for several days or, in severe cases, lose her spirit and Chakra and become a vegetable.
Upon seeing Ino's head droop limply, Choji immediately shouted to the four Hyuga clan members, "You must protect Ino's body at all costs!"
"Yes, Captain!"
The Hyuga Clan, proud as they are, completely abandoned their arrogance after witnessing the strength of Choji and the others. Even the members of the Main Family and the Branch Family cooperated perfectly, and no amount of ninja tools could harm Ino's body.
From the Hyuga Clan's perspective, the Sound Ninja who was attacking suddenly trembled, then collapsed to the ground, unable to see the object of the attack.
"Ah."
Spirit Transformation Technique is a forbidden art and extremely difficult to learn, but the secret techniques of the Yamanaka Clan have many similarities with it. Furthermore, with the guidance of Dan Katō, a master of spiritualization, it is still possible to get started.
In this state, Ino flew at great speed, her hands transforming into swords, constantly slashing across the necks of the Sound Ninja, reaping their lives, while she also kept track of the time.
Five seconds left!
When the time comes, Ino must return to her body.
Choji struggled to lift his head, watching the Sound Ninja collapse one after another, his heart filled with anxiety. " Ino! Time's up!"
Ino's body jolted, successfully returning to its original state. However, her condition was similar to Choji's. The Spirit Transformation Technique had exhausted her Chakra, and she was extremely tired, with the possibility of fainting at any moment.
"Captain Choji, there are forty Sound Ninja left!"
The Hyuga clan members confirmed the remaining number of Sound Ninja through their Byakugan vision, and their admiration for Ino grew even stronger.
Choji looked at Ino: "You actually killed thirty Sound Ninja in ten seconds."
However, apart from Sakura and Rock Lee, the rest of the raiding force was no longer able to fight. Choji looked at the approaching Sound Ninja and a resolute expression appeared on his face. "There's no other way. It seems we still have to use..."
" Multiple Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"
An aged voice came from the sky, and Gyokucha and her group finally arrived at the battleground.
Kosuke finally threw out the Shuriken he had been holding for a long time, using the Multiple Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique. The Shuriken split into many clones in the air, blocking the Sound Ninja's advance, while the three of them landed in front of Choji and the others.
Gyokucha's red hair fluttered in the wind. Without saying much, she played her jade flute, and a tuneless melody filled the air.
" Hanabi -sama."
The Hyuga clan members didn't even have time to bow when they saw Hanabi Hyuga.
Kosuke removed the Blue Bird Type One, holding a blood-stained kitchen knife horizontally in front of him. "Young people, you fought bravely. Now, leave the rest to this old bone of mine."
Hanabi Hyuga pulled out Super Military Rations Pill: "Everyone, eat these quickly, they can heal your injuries."
Choji breathed a sigh of relief, "We're saved."
