Shikamaru, who was in mid-air, formed a seal with his hands. A shadow clone had already appeared beside him. The moment he appeared, he reached out and grabbed the clothes behind Shikamaru. He threw Shikamaru's body away with all his strength, and at the same time avoided Shukaku's giant claws.
.
Bang!
The slight explosion sound caused by the dissipation of the shadow clone seemed to reverberate behind him. Shikamaru's heart tightened, and he lowered his body to the handle of the giant ninja sword inserted in Shukaku's right claw. He crouched down slightly and was chased by a wave of people from behind.
Before the yellow sand hit him, he had already jumped up from where he was and accelerated towards Gaara.
But the closer he got to Gaara, the more Gaara's flexibility and quantity of controlling the yellow sand increased. Seeing this, Shikamaru's eyes flickered. After estimating the distance between himself and Gaara, he suddenly trembled.
Throw the "Yingxiu" stuck on the back of your waist with your hand.
The "Kage Show" thrown by Shikamaru with all his strength brought up a cold light in the air and stabbed Gaara, but Gaara had obviously focused most of his attention on Shikamaru.
The "Kage Hide" on his waist was on guard, and a line of yellow sand protruded in front of him, blocking Gaara and the "Kage Hide", making Shikamaru's attack useless.
At the same time, Shikamaru, who had thrown the "Kage Show", had just used the Rasengan to disperse a stream of yellow sand that was coming towards him, but his waist suddenly tightened. When he looked down, it turned out that there was a stream of yellow sand that took advantage of him.
Watch, binding him like tentacles.
Gaara slowly moved away the piece of yellow sand with the "Kage Show" stuck on it, so that it would not block his sight, and looked at Shikamaru, who was bound by the yellow sand in mid-air.
The distance between the two was less than ten meters, but compared to the current situation, it seemed to have become an unbridgeable gap. However, Shikamaru did not look discouraged at all, and only focused all his attention on moving with the yellow sand.
On the "Shadow Show", when watching the yellow sand finally being moved to Gaara's side, my heart tightened, and I made a seal with one hand. The spiritual energy I had already sensed followed a mysterious connection and controlled it.
It is the chakra stored in the "Shadow Show" that has completed the transformation of chakra properties.
"Shadow Summoning Technique!"
Like a venomous snake that was already ready to attack, it sprang out of the hole. A black shadow like a spear and a sword suddenly appeared from the "shadow show". It seemed to be alive, stretching and contracting in the air, and then suddenly stabbed.
Gaara, who was caught off guard, pierced his chest and came out.
Gaara, who was about to say something to Shikamaru, lowered his head in disbelief and looked at the black tentacle that passed through his chest. A sharp pain spread from the point of contact, making him feel that death was so related to him for the first time.
near.
Although Shikamaru consciously avoided the vital point, the pain and unexpected attack still distracted Gaara's spirit, and the sand tentacles that bound Shikamaru's waist relaxed slightly.
Shikamaru took a deep breath, he had very little chakra left. In the previous exam, he used the Shadow Clone Technique and a Rasengan continuously, and then he crossed half of the Konoha Village with Gaara's pursuit.
Now that he continues to use shadow clones, Rasengan and shadow summoning techniques, his already small amount of chakra has gradually been depleted.
Gudong!
Like a big stone falling into an ancient well, or like a drummer hammering a big drum, Shikamaru made a muffled sound in his left chest, his heart beating rapidly under the influence of chakra, and after his brain experienced a moment of trance, Shikamaru felt that he was all over the place.
The physical and mental fatigue disappeared without a trace, and it seemed that he had returned to his peak state, and even hit a three-pointer with stronger vitality.
Shikamaru knew that the feeling at this moment was all an illusion of opening the "door". When the explosive power of this moment passed, even the last bit of strength could not be used. He did not dare to waste time, and after struggling hard, he was tied up.
The sand around his waist broke free and fell towards Gaara from mid-air.
The Rasengan, the Shadow Summoning Technique, and the Eight Gate Dungeon are three important trump cards that Shikamaru had planned against Gaara before the exam. Now that the first two have achieved the desired results, this is the time to reveal them.
Time to open the last one!
Calculated in thousands of times a day, the movements repeated tens of thousands of times in the past month are almost engraved in Shikamaru's instincts. The body has already moved before the brain issues the order. Naturally, his right leg carries an astonishing feeling.
The momentum swept towards Gaara's head like a big axe.
The roaring wind showed the power contained in this attack. Gaara subconsciously raised his arms in front of his head, but in the face of Shikamaru's simple but refined attack, he was like a mantis trying to use his arms as a chariot.
!
Bang!
A sound of bone breaking suddenly came from the contact point between Shikamaru's calf and Gaara's forearm. Gaara let out a scream of pain that penetrated his bones, but the scream stopped abruptly because Shikamaru's calf had been kicked hard.
On his head.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Continuous cracking sounds came from Shukaku's huge body. Originally made of yellow sand and chakra, Shukaku's substantial body gradually softened and dissipated, like a crumbling sand castle, but it disintegrated in the blink of an eye.
, and Gaara, who was kicked in the head by Shikamaru, also flew out and landed on the crown of a big tree.
Shikamaru himself was not as lucky as Gaara. All the strength to open the "door" seemed to have gone away with the full force of the kick, and the sequelae followed. The muscles and bones seemed to be groaning, making it difficult for him to control.
His body fell to the ground involuntarily.
Whoosh!
A black shadow walked through the falling sand, catching Shikamaru who fell to the ground from mid-air, connecting with the tree trunk to reduce the buffering force, and then quickly fell to the ground.
This black shadow was naturally Morino Hiki who had escaped from the trap due to Shukaku's disintegration. Tomahiro saw that Shikamaru was fine and Shukaku had disappeared without a trace. He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Morino Hiki a little tiredly.
Said: "The matter is over, I have to go back."
Morinoi Hiki wanted to say some words of thanks to Tomahiro, but the other party obviously no longer wanted to stay, and disappeared from the place with bursts of smoke.
Shikamaru struggled to get up, but he felt pain everywhere in his body. This was not only the sequelae of using "Open the Door", but also a sign of excessive chakra consumption.
"Stop moving, take a good rest!" Morino Ihiki couldn't help but smile when he saw Shikamaru's movements. Although the scarred face still looked ferocious even with a smile, he then took the photo with a slightly intimate look.
Patting Shikamaru on the shoulder, he still expressed a kind attitude and said: "You have done a good enough job, you can leave the rest to me!"
Shikamaru nodded silently. He was really speechless when he reached this step. At that moment, he clearly saw the surprise and respect in Morino Ihiki's eyes.
As a genin, a genin who had just graduated from the ninja school less than a year ago, he stopped Shukaku from wreaking havoc in the village. This may be something that no one could have imagined before it actually happened!?
"The battle here has ended. I wonder how the battle in the village will be..." Shikamaru took a deep breath and kept thinking in his heart.
…………
The battle was coming to an end and it was a stalemate.
The battle between the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru is surprisingly similar to the original work. The forbidden technique "Ghoul Sealing" launched by Hiruzen Sarutobi at the cost of his life captured Orochimaru's soul hand, and he was slowly dying.
He was pulling towards him, while Orochimaru was controlling the Kusanagi sword and stirring it in the body of Yuhi's mentor.
Outside the battlefield between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru, Yamato, who was originally ordered to protect Hideo Mita, had arrived outside the Four Purple Flame Formation, with a trace of doubt and anxiety on his face under the mask.
The battle lasted for nearly an hour, which was almost unimaginable in a ninja duel. However, the densely packed tree trunks and branches and leaves within the Four Purple Flame Formation blocked his sight, preventing him from seeing clearly what was going on inside.
Yamato frowned and thought for a moment, looking at the surrounding environment. Suddenly an idea flashed and he muttered to himself: "Tree roots!?"
Although the resurrected First Hokage had been released by Sarutobi Hiruzen using the "Ghoul Seal", the trees spawned by the wood in the high platform did not dissipate. Seeing this, Yamato, who could also use Wood Release, finally thought of using the Four Purple Flame Array.
way.
"Wood Clone Technique!" Yamato formed a seal with his hands, and through the connection between the wood of the stand and the trees in the Four Purple Flame Formation, he controlled a big tree in the Four Purple Flame Formation. The bark of the big tree played a role in chakra.
The bottom gradually began to peel off, and after a while, a wooden escape clone with the same appearance as Yamato had emerged from it and arrived within the Four Purple Flame Formation.
