Konoha: Unable to learn ninjutsu, they had to develop their own.

Chiba kicked Ino away.

She crashed into a tree stump, her hair disheveled, and looked extremely disheveled.

"Otherwise, you'll only be more pathetic if you die."

As he spoke, he pulled out a kunai and strolled toward Ino.

Choji leaped in front of Ino, his hands instantly growing larger as he slapped towards Chiba, the shadows of his hands following him.

however.

Chiba's figure disappeared again.

next moment.

"The Secret Technique of Leaf Fluid Technique"

bang~

Choji's expression suddenly changed, and then he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Ino's eyes widened, then she covered her back, her face gradually turning pale.

Shikamaru, seeing this, couldn't help but yell, "What are you standing there for? Help!"

"oh oh."

Ino snapped out of her daze and hurriedly formed hand seals, but...

The next moment, Chiba disappeared again.

"Find."

"Yes!"

She took several deep breaths, sensing Chiba's location.

but.

Not found!

The opponent's presence was completely concealed, making them impossible to detect.

legend……

This senior doesn't know the nature transformation technique.

What would happen if that were the case?

Ino cursed inwardly.

She looked miserable and said, "I can't find him!"

"Retreat first."

Shikamaru protected Choji as they retreated to a safe area, and then began setting up a trap.

In reality, Chiba was right above them.

He couldn't help but admire...

Shikamaru is smart enough to take advantage of the situation and create a favorable environment for himself.

But that's all.

He couldn't do anything more, so he could only quickly think of Chiba's "weaknesses".

The image kept flashing through my mind.

"Left hand."

"what?"

Ino and Choji looked at him.

"Chiba-senpai never used his left hand; he used his right hand to fight us from beginning to end."

Shikamaru said excitedly.

It's the left hand!

I see. That's a really simple and direct hint; it's practically written all over their faces.

but.

Ino said dejectedly, "But we can't find him at all, how could we possibly hit his left hand? Are we just going to wait for him to walk into our trap?"

There's always a way, but if you give up, you'll have no chance at all.

Shikamaru said firmly.

"Well said, now I'll give you a chance."

The voice just fell.

A figure charged towards them from the side.

Shikamaru instantly used the Shadow Imitation Technique, and the shadows no longer tried to control Chiba, but instead formed a dense defensive net.

but.

Whoosh!

The white fox is drawn from its sheath.

Immediately afterwards, the chakra blade lashed out like a white fox's tail.

A knife!

The large tree behind them snapped in half and collapsed from behind them.

When Choji is in a multiplied state, his flexibility is greatly reduced.

He had no choice—

Human Bomber Tank!

The rolling ball of flesh, accompanied by a black shadow, swirled toward Chiba.

Ino immediately formed hand seals.

My heart turns around...

She only has one chance!

As Choji's human bomb tank rolled back and forth, propelling Chiba into the air, she reached out her hand—

The art of turning your mind around!

At the same time, Shikamaru's shadows had formed a circle and were shrinking towards the center.

Become!

Shikamaru broke out in a cold sweat.

"Shikamaru, I've controlled it..."

Ino controlled Chiba to say a few words.

Shikamaru and Choji were still panting and happy when the other person's voice suddenly changed.

This……

Lost control?

Chiba's lips curled up slightly.

"I would like to congratulate you, but unfortunately, you overlooked an important thing during your attack."

"Was I dead while you were making arrangements and discussing things?"

Chiba landed smoothly and dusted himself off.

Ino's spirit resides within him, but when facing Chiba, Ino's "spirit" is squeezed into Chiba's body like a pet, unable to move at all.

"I know you're the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, don't you know you should be on guard?"

Chiba crouched down, looking at the three immobilized men. "So, do you want me to slit your throat, or do you want to admit defeat?"

Shikamaru understood.

While they were discussing, Chiba was also setting up a trap.

A sealing technique that can immobilize them!

He had heard of this technique, a sealing rune array that combines an absorption barrier and a sealing formation, which, once activated, can absorb the chakra of enemies within the array.

Lost.

Shikamaru clearly recognized the gap between them.

"how did you do that?"

"Trying to stall for time? I'm not the kind of person you think I am. Besides, you can't afford to stall."

Chiba pointed to a spot not far away.

The hourglass is almost up.

Shikamaru clenched his fists; his opponent hadn't even used a particularly powerful killing move.

They were completely defeated with just a few simple techniques.

and.

Even Ino's mental manipulation technique failed to work.

How can it be?

Shikamaru was extremely weak.

The Thousand-Leaf White Fox returned to its sheath and patted Choji's neck.

"you are dead."

Then, he walked over to the unconscious Ino and poked her neck.

"She died too."
