In the woods, there was a sound of metal clashing.

After the kunai came into contact with the kunai, both sides quickly retreated, then invariably regained their strength and rushed towards the opponent.

Seeing Sakura rushing towards him from the front, Tenzou's hand holding the kunai suddenly exerted force, and the kunai in his hand instantly escaped from his palm and flew towards Sakura's face.

Sakura raised her arm without changing her expression, and used the kunai in her hand to deflect the kunai thrown by Tenzo, letting the kunai fall to the ground.

The moment Sakura blocked the kunai, Tenzo quickly formed seals with his hands to concentrate the chakra in his body.

"Earth Release·Earth Release!"

Snapped!

She slapped the ground with her palm, and before Sakura could rush in front of her, the ground in front of her suddenly bulged and quickly cut through the middle, leaving Sakura's feet free and disrupting her attack steps.

Sure enough, Sakura lost her balance and fell towards the cracked ground. She had no choice but to wave her arms and pierce the kunai into the soil and rocks beside her to stabilize her body.

After seeing this scene, Tianzang was not going to let go.

But considering Sakura's reflexes, this level is barely adequate.

At least it should be better than the information he had received before.

It probably has something to do with the fact that he was practicing with Tsunade during these days.

However, this is far from enough.

"Water Release·Water Wave Hand!"

Without hesitation, Tenzo formed a seal with his hands again and released the next ninjutsu calmly.

From his open palm, a stream of water with extremely strong impact suddenly emerged, rushing towards Sakura's body, intending to drag her into the violent torrent.

"Rasengan!"

As a figure flashed in front of Sakura, he pushed out the chakra ball in his hand.

The powerful torrent, which was enough to wash away dozens of people, was immediately stopped by the power of the spiral, turned into collapsing water droplets, and disappeared in the air.

When Tianzang saw this scene, his expression remained as usual, and then his eyes squinted around him.

I don't know when I was surrounded.

There were more than a dozen shadow clones of Naruto surrounding him, and they implemented a siege tactic against him and swarmed him.

So far, the actions of the two of them have been within Tianzang's expectations, and their abilities and tactical configurations are exactly the same as what was described in the intelligence.

However, just because it is exactly as described in the intelligence does not mean it is easy to deal with.

In a hand-to-hand encounter with the shadow clones, Tianzang's face couldn't help but darken, and his eyes revealed a serious look.

Although the ninjutsu and tactical configuration are no different from the intelligence, the shadow clone's experience against the enemy has become the key to reversing the occupation.

The shadow clone, which was supposed to be just used as cannon fodder, gathering intelligence, and attracting the enemy's attention, used physical skills quite well, and his bare-handed fighting posture also became somewhat methodical.

Three or five people may not feel the pressure, but if a dozen of them come together, Tianzang will also feel a little pressure.

It seems that this kid was not wasting his time by following Lord Jiraiya for several months! Tenzo sighed in his heart.

In this way, he had to show his strength as a Jonin.

Sakura is second, but if Naruto disperses more shadow clones, this battle will undoubtedly become more difficult.

Young people today are really scary.

"Earth Escape: Earth Current City Wall!"

Breaking away from the entanglement of the shadow clones, Tenzo retreated to the rear, keeping a safe distance from the shadow clones.

Then, slap the ground with both hands.

Boom!

Boom!

Just as the shadow clones were about to rush forward, the ground suddenly shook violently.

"Whoa, what happened?"

Naruto, who was standing with Sakura, looked around nervously.

I saw the sand and stones on the surrounding ground constantly vibrating, and with a crackling sound, cracks appeared on the ground in front of me, and a whole piece of land rose high, forming a huge cliff.

"This is……"

Looking at the huge wall built by Tenzo, both Naruto and Sakura opened their mouths.

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

First, a small piece of spray flowed down from the top of the mountain, and then came the endless torrent, smashing the rocks along the way, and overwhelmingly sloping down from the sky, forming a large shadow, covering Sakura, Naruto and all the shadow clones.

Swallow it in.

"careful!"

The attack range of the water flow is so wide that a simple Rasengan can no longer make a breach in it.

However, even if Naruto and Sakura retreated backwards, they still could not exceed the speed of the water pouring down from the sky. In the blink of an eye, they and their shadow clones were swept into the rapids and rushed into the distance.

The surrounding trees were also trembling under the torrent of water.

One by one, the shadow clones disappeared under the impact of the water flow, and Naruto was directly given a large amount of water because he could not dodge.

He poked his head out from under the water in embarrassment, his hair was wet, his mouth was wide open, he was constantly exposed to the outside air, and he was coughing violently.

"it's over."

The sound that suddenly appeared from behind made Naruto's body stiffen.

boom!

He kicked Naruto out of the water as he was about to get out of the water, causing his body to roll awkwardly on the water.

However, after rolling about ten meters, Naruto's body exploded and dissipated into a cloud of smoke.

It's a shadow clone.

"Succeeded!"

Two Narutos appeared on the left and right behind Tianzang respectively, swung their fists and hit Tianzang on the back.

Tianzang didn't look back, he saw this plan clearly from the beginning.

Using shadow clones to confuse other people's vision, and then finding the enemy's weaknesses to sneak attack, this is Naruto's specialty, there is no reason why he wouldn't think of this aspect.

Just when the fists of the two Narutos were about to hit, tree-like vines suddenly appeared from behind Tenzo, wrapping around the bodies of the two Narutos like snakes, binding their hands and feet tightly, making him unable to move.

"Damn it, what is this!? Wood?"

As if he did not expect such a thing to happen, Naruto pulled hard on the wooden vines wrapped around his body, trying to tear them off.

However, as his movements became more and more intense, the wooden vines, instead of being pulled and broken, became tighter and tighter under Naruto's pulling, making Naruto's face turn purple.

The other Naruto couldn't bear the pressure and turned into smoke and disappeared.

On the side, Sakura, who had just emerged from the water and kept coughing, raised her head and looked at Tenzo's method of restraining Naruto with a look of disbelief on her face.

"This is... Mudun? Why..."

Sakura couldn't believe the scene before her.

As far as she knew, the Wooden Release Ninjutsu had long since disappeared in Konoha Village.

The last ninja who could use Wood Release was the legendary First Hokage.

Since the death of the first Hokage, there has been no more wood-eating ninjas in the ninja world.

But, what's going on with the ninjutsu in front of me?

No matter how you look at it, this is wood release ninjutsu.

Is it an illusion?

However, there is no need for illusions to specifically present the illusion of wood escape.

Ignoring Sakura who was shocked and unable to speak to herself, Tenzo released his palms, released the ninjutsu, untied Naruto's body, and let him fall from the air.

Just when Naruto was about to continue his attack, Tenzo turned around and stretched out his palm to stop the gesture of prohibiting fighting: "Okay, let's end the practice battle here. I probably know your current level."

In the battle just now, he was not too merciful, at least he showed some real skills.

Needless to say, Naruto's strength has reached the level of a Chunin, and judging from the opponent's past combat performance, this is not his limit.

Because once his physical skills become organized, the upper limit of his strength brought by his shadow clone technique will become very terrifying.

Therefore, he could not look at Naruto's strength from a normal perspective.

The lower limit is chuunin, and the upper limit is unknown.

And Sakura's level is easy to see through.

In terms of strength alone, he has not yet reached the standard chuunin level and can only occupy a place among genin. However, considering the opponent's medical ninja, his role in the team far exceeds the contribution of a chuunin. The medical ninja's

Its value can be seen from the previous ninja wars. It is an absolutely precious resource.
