Naruto: My Chat Group Spans History.

Four examinees were carrying a rattan chair, and Youyue sat on it, swaying gently as the chair rose and fell.

His expression was somewhat awkward, a little helpless, but mostly intrigued.

After capturing the group last night, he symbolically punished them for a few hours before letting them go.

Unexpectedly, these people started chatting non-stop overnight, and early in the morning they were waiting at the door with a chair for him.

Before Youyue could even speak, everyone crowded around him and helped him sit in the rattan chair.

They claimed they would escort him all the way to the tower in the center of the forest, and even insisted on recognizing him as their leader.

"You've really made my life miserable."

This sudden change left Yuyue both amused and exasperated, but he still reluctantly accepted the overly enthusiastic hospitality of his underlings.

"Huh? Isn't that Yuzuki?!"

"How come he has so many followers?"

The commotion naturally attracted the attention of others. Some familiar faces also appeared one after another.

Ino crossed her arms and looked helplessly at the distant line of people.

"Don't be surprised if anything happens to this guy."

Shikamaru, on the other hand, looked deep in thought. For the past few weeks, Shinomiya Yuuki had always given him the impression of being unfathomable.

After pondering for a while, he said, "Yuzuki must have his reasons for doing this."

Choji didn't offer any opinion, just crunched on his potato chips, looking quite relaxed and carefree.

"Boss Yuugetsu! We've spotted a group from Amegakure ahead!"

A figure flashed, and a candidate skilled in reconnaissance appeared on a tree branch ahead, kneeling on one knee to report.

Amegakure?

Yuyue was surrounded by many people.

Some were captured last night and then surrendered, while others were beaten into submission along the way and then joined him.

So far, there are about thirty people in total.

At that moment, a round-nosed candidate wearing a red vest next to him paused for a moment, then volunteered with a big smile.

"Boss Yuyue, let me go!"

This is a candidate from Iwagakure Village, and I only started accepting him today.

He is quite strong and skilled in Earth Release ninjutsu. In terms of elemental attributes, Earth Release is effective against Water Release.

Amegakure primarily uses water-style techniques, so if a fight breaks out, the Amegakure side will have a much lower chance of winning from the start.

"Alright, go and fight."

Yuyue nodded and waved her finger.

Tutang nodded vigorously, then left with his two teammates, looking excited.

The three jumped onto nearby trees and sped off ahead.

As soon as he was separated from the group, Tutang Wu's teammates couldn't help but ask.

"Captain, why are you so enthusiastic?"

"You really see yourself as someone else's lackey?"

"It's not shameful for us to be defeated and captured when outnumbered; there's no need for that."

They are the elite seeds of Iwagakure (Hidden Rock Village), and today they were tracking a team carrying the Earth Scroll, intending to take them down.

As a result, they were surrounded by Youyue's group of underlings who happened to be passing by; there were a dozen or twenty of them.

No matter how talented they were, they were no match for Yuyue and could only obediently become her underlings.

But they were captured, and their two teammates were just coasting along.

But they didn't expect that Tsuchidō Mu, as the team leader, would be so attentive!

It was as if they were volunteering to attack in order to curry favor with the so-called boss.

After listening to his two teammates' complaints, Tsuchido Mu revealed a meaningful smile.

"What do you know?"

"Anyway, I'm already someone else's underling. I'm definitely going to lose face, and there's no way to salvage it. After the assessment, I'm sure I'll get a scolding from the Tsuchikage."

"But if you think about it from another angle, what if everyone became Shinomiya Yuuki's underlings in this assessment?"

“Then isn’t that commonplace? Everyone’s the same, so no one should laugh at anyone else.”

"This is called a different kind of saving face, you know?"

Tutang smiled inscrutably.

The two companions then realized what was going on:

"Captain, you've really thought of everything!"

The two immediately expressed their deep admiration for their captain, who usually seemed rough but was actually very thoughtful, and gave him a thumbs up.

"Also, did you notice that some people inside were looking at Shinomiya Yuuki in a particularly strange way?"

"What's so strange about it?" the two teammates asked, puzzled.

After a moment's thought, Tsuchido replied, "It's just like the way we usually look at Lord Tsuchikage."

"Respect, awe, worship..."

His teammates were stunned, their faces showing disbelief.

"Huh? Isn't that a bit too exaggerated? Do they really think Yuuki is that strong?"

Tutang Wu shook his head: "I don't know, but what I'm sure of is that he is no ordinary person."

"Alright, prepare for battle!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than several figures appeared ahead.

"Use that move."

The three figures quickly separated, forming an encirclement around the examinees from Amegakure below.

Furong closed her eyes and entered a state of awareness, whispering, "Someone is coming."

"Where is it?" The hydrangea and water lily immediately went on alert.

They had just seen someone glance in their direction from a distance, but before they could react, the person ran away.

I thought the other side realized they were no match and wisely left, but I never expected they went to call for reinforcements?

"Hmph, you think you can beat us just because you've brought in reinforcements?"

"Too naive." After Furong reported the other party's location, Shuilian sneered and quickly formed hand seals.

"Water Release: Misty Rain Concealment Technique".

The Death Forest is never short of moisture. Water molecules in the air instantly turn into white mist, spreading like cotton candy, making visibility extremely blurry.

The three from Amegakure gradually disappeared into the mist.

"Huh? Is this a ninjutsu similar to the Hidden Mist Technique?"

Tutang Wu was hiding underground and lost sight of his target, but he did not panic. Instead, he closed his eyes.

"As long as you can't fly, the traces you leave on the ground will always give you away."

"Earth Escape Technique: Earth Listening Technique".

An invisible wave emanated from Tsuchidō Mu's body; at this moment, he was like a bat, able to detect sounds coming from the ground.

—Heartbeat, footsteps, even breathing.

After a moment, Tutang Wu revealed a smile:

"We've found you."

He moved silently underground to the feet of the three people from Amegakure, and then activated his ninjutsu:

"Earth Release: Earth Prison Hall Without End!"

The earth suddenly split open, and the earthen mound had no way to emerge from it.

At the same time, hard rocks suddenly emerged, quickly forming an inverted bowl-shaped structure that trapped the three people from Amegakure inside.

Tutang, with his hands pressed against the earthen prison, continued to cast spells.

As long as he keeps injecting chakra, the earthen prison will continue to repair itself, making it impossible to break it from the inside.

Furthermore, the earthen prison will absorb the chakra of those trapped inside; over time, no one can withstand it.

Chapter 188 I absolutely refuse to acknowledge you as me

"It's your turn!" Tutang Wu shouted loudly.

The two teammates, who were already prepared, immediately took action:

"The captain's here!"

The two stood atop the earthen cell, quickly forming hand seals and striking each other:

"Earth Release: Earth Flow Spear!"

A violent sound suddenly came from inside the earthen cell, and countless rock spikes grew from the walls, making it impossible to hide in the cramped space.

These rock spikes attacked densely and fiercely.

However, since the current objective is to capture rather than kill, the length has been reduced, aiming to inflict serious damage without causing fatal injury.

"The captain is all set."

One of the teammates slowly stood up, his face full of joy.

They've used this tactic countless times, and countless enemies have fallen at their feet.

Once the skill chain is complete, the opponent will basically have no chance to fight back.
