Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 350 is meaningless.

"Bang!"

From within the smoke, more than a dozen shadow clones of Naruto appeared, each holding a Giant Rasengan in their hands.

"Get out of the way!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the giant bird formed from ink swooped down, carrying everyone away from the battlefield.

The little nine-tailed fox, whose pupils had just recovered, was immediately enveloped in a blue light.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

The deafening roar made the entire No. 44 training ground feel like it was experiencing an earthquake.

Such a commotion stunned everyone who had arrived early to wait.

Onoki looked down at the tower with a serious expression. Such a strong chakra fluctuation appeared not far away. Even as a Kage, he was somewhat shocked by such power.

who is it?

The chakra sensed by him did not belong to the Nine-Tails, and neither Jido nor Kurotsuchi possessed a technique of such power…

"It's the Rasengan, the Fourth Hokage's no-seal ninjutsu. But with this kind of energy fluctuation, it's clearly not an ordinary Rasengan."

Chirabi was also looking down from the tower.

Many years ago, my older brother and I fought against the Fourth Hokage. His Flying Thunder God Technique, combined with this unsealed ninjutsu, was invincible.

It now appears that this technique has been further developed in the hands of his son, even without the Flying Thunder God technique.

So... even if most of the power is sealed, is there still no hope?

As expected, the Team 7 that was valued by that man, the Team 7 that was considered special by the entire Hidden Leaf Village, those three people carried the future of Hidden Leaf Village.

"Can such a technique defeat the Nine-Tails?" Maki swallowed hard.

Onoki frowned deeply: "The commotion was huge, and the power was considerable, but it's impossible to say that it can defeat the Nine-Tails. It's still a bit lacking."

……

At the same time, the commotion also prompted Iwagakure and Kirigakure to move.

The group approached at top speed, following a pre-arranged plan. Whichever side they or the Nine-Tails was used as a breach, the other side would provide immediate support.

"Quickly! As fast as you can!"

"They actually chose the Nine-Tails' path for their breakthrough; what arrogant confidence!"

"The Nara family is nothing special; doing this will only eliminate them all!"

"If they really let Class 7 sneak through, we really don't have any good solutions."

……

Hei Tu, standing to the side, frowned deeply.

The others were right; using the Nine-Tails as a breakthrough point was not a wise choice, as they could not possibly defeat the Nine-Tails in a short period of time.

That's the power of the strongest tailed beast. Even if they were the strongest genin, it would be impossible for them with most of their power sealed!

But... is that guy named Nara Shikamaru really that stupid?

Even if you don't want your teammates to be eliminated, then making your own team the breakthrough point is the real choice, right?

At least they definitely have the corresponding reel they need here, even if it has been hidden away.

"Um?"

The dark light flashed and disappeared in an instant.

"stop!"

However, no sooner had the words left his mouth than a flame suddenly appeared, instantly igniting all the steel wires.

"Whoosh."

A cold glint flashed, and the broken steel wires swept across the field like fiery dragons.

"Buzz..."

Amidst the buzzing sound, after the flames separated the forty-two people, Shino's insects began to move.

A Kirigakure genin was burrowed into the body of an insect, which quickly absorbed his chakra due to its rapid reproduction rate. If Shino wanted to, he could break out of the insect's body right now.

"Bang."

Slumped to the ground, Kirigakure looked at Shino: "Who... are you?"

Shino did not answer, but instead raised his kunai to block the attack from behind.

"boom!!!"

Jido lifted a huge mound of earth and slammed it directly at Shikamaru in front of him.

However, the next moment his body became immobile.

"Shadow Binding Technique? A secret technique of the Nara clan, sometimes it depends on who is using it."

"boom!"

Chakra suddenly erupted, but at that moment a consciousness had already entered his consciousness.

The art of exchanging hearts.

The shock had barely begun when a white figure rushed in front of him.

Teeth clearing!

"boom!"

With a single blow, Zhi Tu was sent flying, smashing three trees in half and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

If it weren't for the Earth Armor, he would have been dead from that attack.

……

"asshole!"

The angry curses had barely left his lips when the Iwagakure genin in front of him was trapped in a genjutsu.

A few seconds later, Sasuke shook his head and started on the next one.

You have to find the corresponding reel yourself, otherwise your team will definitely be eliminated.

If that's the case, then could those two guys from the same class as Izumi be them?

"boom!!"

A loud noise came again behind the Konoha group. It was the Nine-Tails's movement, and it was clear that the attack had not succeeded.

At this moment, Shikamaru's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

As a childhood friend, he now understood Naruto's thoughts. Although they were childish, they were indeed things that bastard would do.

But what can I do in this situation?

The arrow is on the string, and it must be released.

A sudden change of plans might mean everyone is stuck here.

Hang in there, Naruto...

……

On the other side, Naruto in Sage Mode is staring at Kurama (the Nine-Tails) with wide eyes.

"You blond brat, are you looking for death?"

"Lord Nine-Tailed Fox, how about you let us through?"

"No way, that would mean losing a lot of money. I'll be relying on it to eat and drink alcohol from now on."

"Well, I have no choice but to stop you here."

As soon as she finished speaking, the little nine-tailed fox picked its clean nostrils with its claws: "Such a big boast at such a young age. Do you think Sage Mode can stop me?"

Naruto hesitated.

Although Kurama is now a smaller version, he himself doesn't know whether those giant Rasengans were effective or not.

But now I have no choice.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

In an instant, a giant hand formed from crimson chakra swung over.

However, Naruto in Sage Mode was always able to dodge the attacks perfectly, and when he was occasionally hit, it was only by shadow clones.

"You little brat, you're pretty good at dodging!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Nine-Tails began to gather chakra in its mouth, and soon tiny particles were ejected.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

With his three shadow clones destroyed, Naruto's gaze remained fixed on Kurama, but even in Sage Mode, it seemed that this was all he could manage.

Strength and speed are nothing compared to the Nine-Tails; even the Rasengan without hand seals cannot break through its chakra cloak.

With multiple Giant Rasengans, the opponent's nine tails would not give him any chance at this point.

"boom!"

Naruto's main body was sent flying by a tail, but he flipped over and attacked again.

"You brat, is hiding all you can do?"

"If you're so capable, then aim properly! You filthy fox!"

"Holy crap! What did you just call me?"

"You stinking fox! You're dead as soon as my fox master comes out!"

"You think I can even get half my body out? Right now, it can only cower in a corner waiting to be slaughtered. How could that brat Yun possibly break the seal he set up!"

……

Not far away, Gaara, who had been spying with his Eyes of Sand, frowned deeply.

Karui, who was standing nearby, asked directly, "Shouldn't we be about to make our move? Judging from the commotion just now, someone who could use such a technique should have enough chakra."

Omoi glanced over and said, "The other party is from the Uzumaki clan, and their chakra is extraordinary. Although the commotion just now was indeed significant, the chakra of the Uzumaki clan is not so easily depleted."

Gaara remained silent, his gaze still fixed on the scene at the Eye of Sand.

Just as he had guessed, if the Nine-Tails' power was only at the Genin level, even Konoha would have a hard time doing anything about it.

Naruto is getting closer and closer to his limit.

So... is winning like this really as important as the others say?

But if it's really that important, why would Brother Yun make such a decision? Letting the Nine-Tails in is a special treatment for the Konoha genin.

And what about myself?

As he pondered, Gaara's hands clenched together.

……

On the other side, the 42 members of the Iwagakure and Kirigakure groups had been reduced to 30 due to the surprise attack.

But Shikamaru soon discovered that things weren't so easy. The opponents he was going to face in the Chunin Exams were all promising futures from their respective ninja villages.

"Bang!"

With a soft sound, Kunu touched the other party. The shadow was just about to take this opportunity to connect, but was thrown away by the other party's sleep.

Then came a flurry of hand seals, the opponent's arm was wrapped in rock, and a punch came crashing down.

"boom……"

The tiger formed from ink rushed over, but was instantly smashed by a single punch.

However, the next moment, a blue light flashed and directly blocked the opponent.

Sasuke slightly raised his head, and the Three Tomoe Technique was activated instantly.

The Iwagakure survivors, knocked down by the genjutsu, lay limp on the ground. Sasuke, panting, looked at Shikamaru and said, "No."

Shikamaru nodded without saying a word, and then rejoined the battlefield.

For a moment, the genin on both sides were racing against time. One side thought Konoha had a way to deal with the Nine-Tails, while the other side needed to find the scroll as soon as possible.

Ten minutes later, seeing more and more people falling, Heitu's heart sank.

Ten minutes? Could a mere son of a Hokage withstand the Nine-Tails for so long?

The commotion just now was enough to show that the Nine-Tails hadn't held back, and that the opponent wasn't without tricks up their sleeve.

"retreat!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the trust built up over the past few days allowed everyone to back down.

Meanwhile, on Konoha's side, Sakura, Kiba, and Sai had also lost their ability to move, so they stopped at Shikamaru's signal.

For a moment, both sides stared at each other.

"What's going on?"

Zhi Tu raised a questioning voice, at which point he also had a bleeding wound on his abdomen.

Wu Ye, on the other hand, turned into a puddle of water, and his powerful recovery was somewhat difficult, as the Uchiha clan member's lightning release had just been suppressing him.

Kurotsuchi didn't answer, but stepped forward and looked at Shikamaru: "Let him detoxify, and then we'll wait."

Wait?

Shikamaru frowned, then made a gesture with his hand behind his back.

Sasuke then retreated behind the group, his Sharingan with its three tomoe eyes making everyone afraid to meet his gaze.

"You mean... we'll use their results as the deciding factor?"

Kurotsuchi replied in a deep voice, "That's right. You should know that if you continue fighting, even if you succeed, someone will inevitably be killed. This is just a Chunin Exam, nothing more!"

Seemingly to reaffirm his inner thoughts, he added the last sentence, "Everyone, please take heed."

Shikamaru nodded slightly and then asked, "But I can't be sure you'll keep your promise and heal your poisoned companion. It would be a huge disadvantage to fight again."

Black Earth stretched out her hand, and suddenly a bulge appeared in the ground. Then, an earth clone handed her the scroll.

"Whoosh!"

The scroll was thrown directly at Shikamaru.

"Black Soil!!" ×2

Zhi Tu and Wu Ye's voices rang out simultaneously. They knew even better what that scroll was: it was a pair of scrolls depicting heaven and earth.

"Smack."

The two scrolls fell to the ground. Shikamaru didn't touch them, but instead had Shino collect them with insects.

"They've shown a lot of sincerity."

Then, Torune walked over to the collapsed Kirigakure and Iwagakure genin and retrieved all the nano-poisonous insects from their bodies.

Even so, these people are temporarily incapacitated and pose no threat in the short term.

The reason he said that was simply because Shikamaru was pressuring the other party.

The poison from the root can kill a person very quickly; the enemy had already witnessed this ability during the last encounter.

Therefore, the other party dared not delay, and Shikamaru seemed to understand their thoughts.

Was it to avoid excessive casualties? Or was it for another reason?

……

"asshole!"

Wu Ye roared in anger, his transparent body pointing at the black earth with uncontrollable rage.

"Do you know that your actions just now have ruined all our efforts? I knew you Iwagakure people had no credibility, you bastards, you shameless scoundrels!"

Heitu did not refute the angry insults directed at him, nor did he even turn around to look at Wuye.

Chito sighed; at this point, there was no other choice.

The once-strong allies could no longer be trusted, and of the remaining thirty who could still fight, there were quite a few genin from Kirigakure, but they could no longer cooperate.

Although some of the people rescued were from the Mist Village, perhaps because of their past connection to the Blood Mist Village, those people did not show gratitude in their eyes when they looked at Kurotsuchi.

Using any means necessary to complete a mission has always been a tradition of Kirigakure.

But why did Heitu do that?

Looking at the few people who were no longer going to die, he absolutely refused to believe it was for this reason.

Those in positions of authority must have the mindset of those in positions of authority. Organizing Class Seven to pass the second exam is itself a plan that concerns the future.

Sacrificing the village's future for the lives of a few people seems like something the granddaughter of the third Tsuchikage would never do.

"Black Soil, I think I also need an explanation."

Heitu looked over and said, "Because it's pointless now."

It's meaningless now?

He was filled with confusion but received no explanation.

Kurotsuchi looked at Shikamaru: "You're very smart."

Shikamaru shook his head slightly: "You have great courage to make a decision in such a short time. I couldn't do it if it were me."
