Thump!
A dull thud of fists colliding echoed in the distance.
In the chaos, Shikamaru stole a glance in that direction. He saw Choji engaged in a fierce brawl with three puppet-like things.
These three inhuman figures were Tayuya's signature ninjutsu.
"Summoning Jutsu: Three Demons."
The first demon was a long-haired figure in a large coat, its face completely obscured, attacking with a wooden staff.
The second was a bare-chested "person" with its eyes covered by bandages and a handlebar mustache, attacking with a large wooden hamr.
The third was also a bare-chested and bandaged-eyed "person," distinguished by its lack of arms and its raised head.
Although these three demons were not particularly strong on their own, their coordination was flawless. Even with Choji's superior strength, he couldn't defeat them right away.
At the sa ti, Choji noticed the unfavorable situation on Shikamaru's side.
After a brief mont of silence, he reached into his ninja pouch and took out a small box containing different pills.
These pills were the Akimichi clan's secret dicine. Each one could greatly enhance one's potential. Choji had only secretly brought them along as a precaution when Shikamaru had found him. He hadn't expected to have to use them so soon.
Without hesitation, he swallowed the green pill. Instantly, the chakra in his body surged several tis over. With a single punch, he sent the second demon flying. He then took the attacks of the other two demons head-on and, with two more punches, sent them flying as well.
Tayuya, seeing the situation turn against her, imdiately activated her cursed seal.
Her choice proved to be the right one.
Just as she had transford into a spiky figure, a massive shadow fell over her.
Tayuya looked up in a daze and saw that Choji had transford into a giant several dozen ters tall, and he was crashing down on her.
"Secret Technique: Super Multi-Size Technique."
Although Tayuya quickly controlled her three demons to co to her aid, compared to the gigantic Choji, they were as small as infants.
Boom!!!
The powerful impact of the collision made even Kyosuke and the others, who were not far away, sway slightly.
"" Kyosuke glanced over, then charged at Kimimaro again.
Since Choji's battle is over, the scales of victory are beginning to tip in our favor.
"Whew..." Looking at the enemy, who had been reduced to a pile of mush, Choji felt as if his throat was blocked, a nauseating feeling rising in him.
But when he turned and saw Shikamaru and the others being repeatedly sent flying, he forced down the discomfort and prepared to go to their aid.
Suddenly, Shikamaru, without turning his head, said, "Choji, go help Naruto. I'm fine here."
"That's right," Neji said, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth in agreent.
Hearing this, Choji could only give them a deep look, then turned and headed toward the other battlefield without looking back.
At this ti, the battle with Sakon had reached a fever pitch.
Although the two could use the ability to enter each other's bodies to heal their injuries, this healing was limited. Not to ntion, Shikamaru's shadow was constantly watching them. It was not an easy task for them to rge.
Seeing that this was not a viable solution, Sakon gave his brother a subtle look, then charged straight at Neji.
It was clear that the two were planning to use so special thod to defeat the enemy. Otherwise, they would never have rashly approached Neji, who used the Gentle Fist.
After using the Body Flicker Technique to get in front of Neji, Sakon threw a powerful punch at him. At the sa ti, Ukon, after dodging a surprise attack from the shadow, quietly moved behind Neji and reached out to touch him.
If Kyosuke were here, he would know that these two were probably going to use their ability to enter the enemy's body, trying to defeat the tricky opponent. In the original story, they had used this thod to force Kiba Inuzuka to choose between self-mutilation and even suicide to escape this strange attack.
But Neji Hyuga was not Kiba Inuzuka.
Seeing the two enemies about to touch him, Neji not only didn't dodge or defend, but instead slightly crouched, his hands held flat at his sides, one in front and one behind.
An eight trigrams pattern, invisible to the naked eye, appeared at his feet.
It seed that he was preparing to use the sa move as before, but a closer look revealed that this ti, the situation was a bit different.
"Gentle Fist Art: Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms."
Just as Sakon and Ukon's arms were about to reach him, Neji suddenly moved.
In an instant, a flurry of palm strikes covered the two of them.
Even though Sakon and Ukon had activated their State Two cursed seal, in front of the current Neji, they were as fragile and helpless as children who had just graduated from the Ninja Academy.
After a long while, the sound of the wind gradually subsided.
"Whew." Neji let out a deep breath, then t up with Shikamaru and walked in the direction of Kyosuke and the others.
Behind him, the bodies of the Sakon brothers finally fell heavily from the air.
From their bodies, which had returned to their original form, it was clear that there was not a single part that was intact.
This showed the power of Neji's secret technique.
Although the battles on the other two fronts had ended, the overall situation was still not optimistic.
The reason was simple: Kimimaro's strength was simply too overwhelming for them at this ti.
If it weren't for Naruto's almost inexhaustible shadow clones as cover, Kyosuke and Choji would have likely been defeated long ago.
Even so, they were still at a disadvantage.
"Shikotsumyaku: Dance of the Callia."
Kimimaro used the bone blade from his left arm as a weapon, and with his soft and precise taijutsu, he wiped out dozens of Naruto's shadow clones in an instant.
It had to be said that at this ti, Naruto had already entered the Nine-Tails chakra mode. Although it was only the initial stage of use, it was not sothing an ordinary person could compare to.
But even so, he was still helpless against Kimimaro.
Thump. The mont Kimimaro stopped his movents, a python several ters thick suddenly burst out from the ground and coiled around him.
Needless to say, this was Kyosuke's doing.
He had taken advantage of the cover provided by Naruto's shadow clones to secretly set this trap, just waiting for Kimimaro to fall for it.
However, Kyosuke's tried-and-true summoned beast trap was easily broken by Kimimaro.
"Shikotsumyaku: Dance of the Larch."
