Red sand dust

The separated "Pig, Deer and Butterfly" combination is far less intimidating than when all three of them are present and unite against the enemy.

There is a gap in strength among the three members of Nekaze's team, and their tacit understanding of cooperation is far inferior to that of Konoha's Genin Team 10. Daimaru fought with them as a team because he had a trick in his head, and defeating them individually was the ideal plan for facing off against the enemy.

Although the Nara family's secret shadow technique is difficult to deal with, after knowing the information, there are still flaws. What's more, Nara Shikamaru is still far from mature at this time, and he is far from being able to serve as the Hokage's secretary in a few years.

"In order to win, you will do whatever it takes, even if you get infamy? It's really a shuddering ninja style..."

Shikamaru, who took out his kunai, blocked the slap of the miniature three-star fan of the puppet thrown by Daimaru without hesitation, and was beaten back again and again.

"Although the doll is small, its strength cannot be underestimated. If it continues like this, it will not be good!"

Although I have never fought against a puppet master before, anyone with eyes can see that if you are entangled with the puppet master's puppets, you will lose sooner or later. Seizing Daimaru's body is the key.

But even in Taijutsu, Shikamaru, who usually neglects to exercise, is no match.

Laying traps will also be destroyed in the face of large-scale sand ninjutsu.

The only chance of victory is the shadow secret technique, but I can't find an opportunity to use it.

Nara Shikamaru, who was thinking hard about a strategy, couldn't help but turn his attention to Yamanaka Ino, who was not far away and was evenly matched with Chi, and Akimichi Choji, who was powerful but couldn't hit the petite and nimble Nighteye, but was scarred by frequent attacks. .

"Hey, where are you looking?"

The released puppets and Daimaru attacked front and back, blocking the way Nara Shikamaru wanted to join his teammates.

"As if I don't exist? It makes me look so shameless. Is it because I haven't put enough pressure on you?"

Daimaru said, flicking the chakra thread, and the puppet increased its attack strength again.

Shikamaru Nara couldn't help but feel anxious:

"Choji, stop getting entangled with that little man and come join me!"

"But, just now this little guy called me fat..."

Taking advantage of Akimichi Choji's speech, the kunai wielded by Yome added another wound to the opponent's arm.

"It's rude of you to say that I'm a little kid, you damn fat pig!"

"I'm just plump, not fat, and I'm not a fat pig..."

"Chouji, please be patient and wait until you win the battle before you take revenge..."

Nara Shikamaru, who couldn't stop the sweat on his forehead, shouted loudly,

"Come here first, let's go together, otherwise we will lose today."

"good!"

The angry Akimichi Choji yelled,

"Secret Technique: The Art of Doubling!"

Akimichi Choji, whose body swelled and his strength increased greatly, forced Yami back, and then headed towards Nara Shikamaru.

"Meat bomb tank!"

Akimichi Choji, who retracted his arms and legs, rolled with astonishing destructive power, knocking away all the kunai shurikens thrown by Yome.

"What an amazing power!"

Although the accuracy is too poor, without the cooperation of the shadow secret technique and the soul secret technique, it is basically impossible to hit anyone, but if it is hit, the body that has been tempered by Daimaru may not be able to withstand it.

Daimaru had to avoid the meat bullet chariot that could crush boulders and wreak havoc back and forth. The embarrassed Nara Shikamaru could also take a chance to breathe.

"Yame, go and help Qian and defeat that female ninja first."

"But, you are dealing with two people alone..."

"I'm sure!!"

It's not that you are arrogant, but you know what you are doing.

The Yinfeng team, which launched a sneak attack upon meeting, had already gained the upper hand, and none of the three people on the opposite side was intact.

Akimichi Choji's family secret technique consumes a lot of chakra and physical strength, and has always been used as a follow-up finishing move to the secret technique of the mind and shadow.

Regardless of the tacit understanding between the two of them now, both offensive and defensive, once the chakra cannot support it, they won't even have the strength to resist.

So far, Daimaru has only used Wind Release once, and has been using the Puppet Technique, which consumes relatively little chakra.

Those who cannot attack the puppet master's body will eventually be played to death by the puppet master.

Nighteye turned around to help Qian, regardless of the battle situation over there. Akimichi Choji, who had stopped to rest, stood in front of Nara Shikamaru.

"Are you blocking the movement of the secret technique of shadow? It's useless. I've seen through your little tricks. As long as you avoid the shadows, there's nothing to worry about! Now, I'll let you know that there are some gaps that cannot be Make up for it.”

Daimaru took out a flash bomb from his ninja bag, threw it into the sky and exploded. The strong light swept away the shadows on the ground. Nara Shikamaru and Akimichi Choji used their arms to block the dazzling light, while Daimaru commanded the puppet. I quickly approached, and the sharp blade at the tip of the fan bone passed across Nara Shikamaru's shoulder and pointed at his throat.

"I won, it was so easy!"

Daimaru quickly rushed in front of Akimichi Choji, who was somewhat out of strength, and slashed the side of his neck with a hand knife, knocking him to the ground.

Just when Daimaru was about to slit Akimichi Choji's ninja bag and take out the scroll from it, he suddenly stopped.

"Shadow Imitation, success!"

"How can it be?"

Daimaru looked in disbelief, and glanced at Nara Shikamaru who had been subdued from the corner of his eye. There was obviously no shadow connection between the two. There was no shadow in the sky that could be exploited, and there could not be any opportunistic shadow tunnel underground.

"You guys are too cautious. If you weren't in such a hurry to subdue me, I really don't know how you could have made a comeback!"

Akimichi Choji, who had collapsed on the ground, slowly stood up, and in Daimaru's stunned eyes, he transformed into Nara Shikamaru.

"You are Nara Shikamaru, and the one over there is..."

As expected, the seemingly defenseless "Nara Shikamaru" turned into the appearance of Akimichi Choji.

"When did you switch over?"

"When you use flashbangs and everyone covers their eyes, they can't see."

"Flash bomb? That's it!"

Daimaru suddenly realized, and the two took advantage of the complete lack of vision to use the transformation technique, and then changed positions.

Within the range of the flash bomb, Daimaru couldn't see clearly. He just relied on his impression to use the puppet to attack in advance, but he didn't expect to trap himself, allowing the opponent to complete a tactical deception.

"Do you understand? It would have been really difficult to deal with him if his flaw hadn't been revealed at the moment of victory."

Nara Shikamaru stretched his stiff shoulders, walked to Akimichi Choji, checked the injury, and breathed a sigh of relief after finding that he was fine for the time being.

"It's really thrilling, but the rewards for winning are also huge..."

As he spoke, Nara Shikamaru was about to take out the scroll from Daimaru's ninja tool bag, when a ferocious fist hit Nara Shikamaru hard on the abdomen.

"Indeed, it is easiest to relax the moment you win, so you have to be more vigilant. When fighting a puppet master, you must at least figure out which side is the puppet and which side is the body!"
