I am the most popular character in Naruto!

Using inertia to propel Hidan to a pre-planned position is not difficult for Shikamaru.

"Great! That's it!"

Seeing Hidan step into his trap, Shikamaru's eyes lit up. He pulled up a thin thread and transferred his chakra to Hidan.

"Detonation!"

He shouted, and immediately, a series of explosions occurred at Hidan's feet.

The violent explosion sent thick black smoke billowing out, and the resulting gust of wind sent Asuma flying.

After rolling around on the ground a few times, he turned back to look at Hidan in a daze. He saw Hidan fall down in the explosion, his legs, which were formed of chakra, shattering continuously, while chakra kept filling them, trying to keep him in human form.

As his chakra was continuously depleted, Hidan, who was originally enormous, began to shrink, and his size gradually became something that no one needed to look up at.

"Excellent! Just as I predicted!"

Shikamaru had already considered this possibility after seeing Hidan overflowing with chakra; there was a high probability that Hidan's chakra did not belong to him.

In other words, this black chakra is a one-time consumable. As long as they keep consuming Hidan's chakra, his "berserk" state can be eliminated.

"This is much easier to deal with than the tailed beasts."

Shikamaru thought to himself that ever since the tailed beasts appeared, his father had often assigned them to him as tests.

To put it bluntly, in Shikamaru's opinion, Hidan's attack power and intelligence level are not much different from those of the tailed beasts. Compared to the tailed beasts with unlimited chakra, Hidan, whose chakra is depleted, is obviously much easier to deal with.

"Damn it!"

After the smoke and dust from the explosion cleared, Hidan finally regained control of his body, turned around, opened his eyes, and roared.

But the next moment, he suddenly couldn't move.

Boom

Dozens of thin threads bound Hidan's legs, tightly binding him to the spot. Shikamaru, holding the threads in his hand, flicked them slightly and said, "Unfortunately, I just learned a little about chakra thread manipulation, and now I'm putting it to use."

"It doesn't seem to have any major difficulties. It's similar to my family's shadow stitch technique."

Since they're all lines, all you need to do is calculate where the lines land, which isn't complicated for Shikamaru.

"Don't try to trap me!"

Hidan angrily tried to lift his leg, but found he couldn't move. He had no choice but to bend down and grab the thin thread with his hand.

But just as he bent down, a loud bang came from behind him.

"Super! Multiplication Technique!"

A gigantic Choji appeared behind Hidan, grabbing Hidan's waist with both hands, and...

Uh……

cough.

Choji pressed Hidan's waist down, using his massive weight to knock Hidan to the ground.

"Asuma! Shatter Hidan's chakra!"

Shikamaru produced another large bunch of thin threads in his hand, and as he ran and arranged them, he shouted to Asuma.

"oh oh……"

Asuma quickly snapped out of his daze and began forming hand seals to unleash Fire Release: Great Dragon Flame on Hidan.

He wasn't very used to using this thing in actual combat, and his proficiency in hand seals was also low, since he was more used to close combat.

However, since Hidan has already been suppressed, it doesn't matter if his hand seal proficiency is low.

As an elite Jonin of Konoha, Asuma was familiar with iconic fire-style ninjutsu like Fire Release: Great Dragon Flame.

After completing the standard hand seals, he took a deep breath and exhaled a huge fire dragon towards the head formed by black chakra.

The fire dragon suddenly ripped away Hidan's black chakra, revealing his true body.

"It's time, Ino!"

Shikamaru called out to Ino, who calmly formed a heart shape with her hands and focused her spiritual energy on Hidan.

"The Art of Mind Transference!"

Ino called out softly, and the next moment, her consciousness blurred. When she opened her eyes again, she felt herself being pressed down and her whole body was filled with black energy.

"Success!"

Ino was slightly surprised when Hidan uttered those words.

I didn't expect Hidan's consciousness to be so easy to invade, and I didn't encounter much resistance.

Maybe it's because he's a brainless idiot?

However, soon, the black aura around Hidan surged, and Ino felt a force pushing her out.

"Shikamaru! Hurry! I can only hold on for a dozen seconds!"

Hidan's voice rang out, his black aura surging, and another voice boomed: "Get out of my body!"

Asuma! Help me!

Shikamaru tossed the thin thread to Asuma and quickly reported several locations.

Asuma rushed out and began setting up the trap using thin threads.

"roll!!!"

Hidan's consciousness returned, and Ino was forced out, returning to her body and collapsing to the ground.

"Control failed! Shikamaru!"

"I know! It's over for me!"

Shikamaru stopped in his tracks, formed a strange hand seal, and shouted, "Secret Technique!"

"Shadow Stitching Technique! Black Spider Lily!"

Chapter 729 I will, but it's unnecessary

When Kakashi rushed to the battlefield where Shikamaru and the others were, this was the scene he saw.

A huge fat man sat on the back of a giant emitting black smoke, slapping him on the head again and again.

The giant, pinned beneath the fat man, was entangled in numerous threads, and strings of black shadows resembling spider lilies bloomed around him, rendering the black giant completely immobile.

Ino kept setting up the detonating tags, like a playful child setting off fireworks for the adults.

Asuma, as if he were training his ninjutsu skills in a training ground, would carefully form hand seals, release ninjutsu, then stand still for a while to recover his chakra, and then form hand seals again, release ninjutsu, and repeat this process.

In short, Class 10 had a very good time.

The only one who felt uncomfortable was Hidan, who was pinned down by Choji and entangled by thin threads and shadows like a fish on a chopping board.

but……

Who would care about his feelings?

This is the consequence of being immortal.

"...What kind of medieval witch execution scene is this?"

"then what?"

"Attack on Titan?"

Kakashi pulled his mask up and slowly walked to Shikamaru's side, who was struggling to control his secret technique.

"Yo... Kakashi-sensei."

Upon seeing Kakashi, Shikamaru exclaimed in surprise, "What brings you here?"

"I was just passing by, a complete stranger."

Kakashi shrugged. "It seems you don't need my help."

"Yes! Yes! How can we not need it!"

Shikamaru nodded repeatedly and complained to Kakashi, "You have no idea, I can't hold on much longer, their damage is too low."

"Especially Asuma, his fire jutsu is like nothing at all."

Kakashi glanced at Asuma's fire release and nodded.

indeed.

"Kakashi-sensei, since you're here, please help us!"

Shikamaru was speaking to Kakashi when he suddenly realized something, "Oh wait, Naruto needs help too!"

"Kakashi-sensei, you should go to Naruto's side first!"

"We might take less damage and be a bit slower, but we can still win!"

"I'm worried about Naruto's situation..."

Kakashi interrupted Shikamaru, pulling out a sealing scroll and gesturing towards him, "Kakuzu is here, any more questions?"

"Nothing."

Shikamaru shook his head decisively. It seemed that Kakashi had gone to Naruto's side first before deliberately coming to provide support.

Naruto is amazing, he actually managed to defeat Kakuzu.

"So, could you tell me more specifically what's going on?"

Kakashi tucked the scroll sealing Kakuzu back into his pocket and looked at the giant emanating black mist. "Is that Hidan? Your opponent?"

“Ouch——!!!”

Hidan roared and struggled again. Shikamaru gritted his teeth and increased his chakra output, trying his best to suppress him.

Ino quickly went to mend the broken threads, while Asuma returned to Shikamaru's side to replenish his chakra.

"They don't seem to be enemies of the same level... He has a power that I once sensed in Chiaki-nee."

Kakashi stroked his chin, reached out and placed his hand on Shikamaru, providing some chakra support.

"Kakashi!"
