Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the beginning

Sarutobi Ayase didn't know how to judge, she could only look at her husband Sarutobi Tenju, who also knew the Shadow Clone Technique.

At this time, Sarutobi Tenju had recovered from the shock just now. He took a deep breath, looked at his wife and said, "Ayase, you control the flock of birds remotely, and I will use my shadow clone to attack Li Yao. We can only give it a try."

No matter how Li Yao dared to let the shadow clone exist for more than twenty hours, even if he could be immune to the memory shock caused by the elimination of the shadow clone just like he was immune to illusions, it could not change the fact that the existence of the shadow clone itself was a ninjutsu.

Releasing ninjutsu will naturally consume chakra.

Maintaining the existence of the shadow clone is a process of continuously consuming chakra.

A shadow clone that has existed for more than twenty hours must have consumed a lot of chakra, and the chakra it currently possesses must be very little.

If it is a shadow clone, make a test attack to increase the shadow clone's chakra consumption, and the shadow clone will naturally dissipate due to lack of chakra.

In this way, it would be easy to test whether Li Yao in the valley is a shadow clone.

"What about Ryoma and the others?" Sarutobi Ayase asked, "Should we let them try it out as well?"

Sarutobi Tenshu frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Let them try it out, but they must focus on long-range attacks and not get close without permission."

The way Li Yaoying used his clone shocked Sarutobi Tenju. He was now a little confused about whether the two Li Yaos had their real bodies or not.

So it’s safest to try them all out.

But he still reminded them to stay away from Li Yao.

The casting of illusions requires distance. As long as a safe distance of one hundred meters is maintained, many illusion ninjas will not be able to cast illusions at a long distance.

"Then I'll notify them first."

Sarutobi Ayase re-drew an eagle and flew to find Echizen Ryoma and others with Sarutobi Tenju's order.

After finishing the job, Sarutobi Tenshū immediately created a shadow clone and headed towards the valley.

In the sky above him, there were thirty ink-and-wash birds drawn by his wife, Sarutobi Ayase.

Chapter 73 Lei Ketu

"finally come!"

Sarutobi Tenshu entered the two-kilometer chakra perception range of Li Yaoying's clone and was immediately sensed by Li Yao, who breathed a sigh of relief.

If Konoha's pursuit team doesn't arrive soon, he won't be able to maintain this shadow clone.

Although the shadow clone looks exactly like a human, the skin has temperature, the heart beats, and even the breath it exhales is real.

But these are all transformed by consuming chakra.

Therefore, every moment the shadow clone exists consumes chakra.

The shadow clones of ordinary people simply cannot last for twenty hours like Li Yao can.

Of course, people like Naruto are a different story.

The secret of Li Yao's ability to maintain the shadow clone for twenty hours is attributed to his absolute control over chakra, which reduces the consumption of the shadow clone's chakra to the minimum.

But even so, twenty hours is almost the limit of Li Yaoying's clone.

If the Konoha pursuit team doesn't arrive, Li Yao's shadow clone will automatically go offline in another hour.

"Yeah...it's those guys!"

At this time, Sarutobi Tenzhu entered the one-kilometer perception range of Li Yaoying's clone. Li Yaoying's clone, who was originally sitting on a rock with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes with a look of surprise in his eyes.

He had sensed through his clearer chakra that the person coming was none other than one of the ninja team that had killed his shadow clone yesterday.

"It seems that Konoha really can't spare many troops to hunt him down."

"That is to say, it is now the period of the Second Ninja World War."

"Judging from the fact that Danzo hasn't come to see him in nearly two years, the Ninja World War has been going on for at least a year."

As his mind turned, Li Yao knew that his decision was right. All that remained was to find out what these people were doing.

Li Yao looked at Sarutobi Tenshu who was galloping towards him from a distance, smiled slightly, and four chakra chains condensed behind him, and then he took the initiative to run towards Sarutobi Tenshu.

"So fast!"

Li Yao used the four black iron chains behind him to move like a spider, which made him move very quickly. He rushed over at the speed of a black lightning. Sarutobi Tenju was slightly surprised when he saw this, but it was just a slight surprise.

He can still handle this speed.

"Wind Release-Vacuum Jade!"

When the two were 20 meters apart, Sarutobi Tenju took the lead in attacking. He quickly formed three seals with his hands, and his chest instantly swelled like a drum. Then, like a deflated balloon, he spit out three condensed wind-style chakra balls towards Li Yao in succession.

"Buzz!"

The condensed wind-style chakra ball is like a vacuum sphere formed by the wind being compressed after high-speed flow, and it has the power to shatter and annihilate everything in its path.

Three vacuum jades drew three vacuum trajectories in the air and shot towards Li Yao.

Facing Sarutobi Tenshū's Wind Style Vacuum Jade, Li Yao's countermeasure was also very simple. Three black iron chains shot out from behind him instantly, directly hitting the three Vacuum Jades that were shot at him.

When prepared, Li Yao's reaction speed is actually not slow, and his control speed of the black iron chain is not slow either, so he can match the attack of the vacuum jade.

"Bang bang bang!"

In an instant, the three vacuum jades collided with Li Yao's black iron chains. The condensed vacuum jade was indeed extremely powerful, and the black iron chains that Li Yao shot out with all his strength were directly bounced away.

However, the extremely tough black iron chains also blocked the three vacuum jades and exploded, instantly forming three huge air blasting spheres in mid-air.

The spreading air waves instantly rolled up the smoke and dust on the ground, blocking Li Yao and Sarutobi Tenju's view of each other.

Taking advantage of this moment when the sight is blocked.

"Whoosh whoosh...!"

The flock of ink-and-wash birds that had been following the Sarutobi Tensho in the sky immediately flew through the smoke and dust and shot towards Li Yao, trying to give Li Yao a sudden surprise.

Unfortunately, all of this could not escape Li Yao's chakra perception.

"Zizzizi..."

Along with the sound of flashing lightning, the three black irons that bounced back to Li Yao and the black iron chain behind him were instantly wrapped with white lightning.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Li Yao's mind moved, and four black iron chains wrapped with white lightning waved like the wind, instantly turning the attacking flock of ink birds into puddles of black liquid.

"really……"

Seeing that the ink that was broken by the black iron chain wrapped in lightning did not stick to the black iron chain, Li Yao's mouth corners suddenly rose slightly.

"bump!"

Li Yao's mind moved, and as he turned around, a black iron chain behind him suddenly swung backwards and hit a dagger that suddenly attacked him.

"Good weight!"

Sarutobi Tenzhu, who had used the attack of the ink-and-wash birds to attract Li Yao's attention and come from behind to attack Li Yao, suddenly changed his expression.

The right hand holding the knife felt numb, and he felt the huge force coming from the knife. Sarutobi Tenshu's eyes were filled with shock and confusion.

This is not the reaction speed that the previous Li Yaoying clone should have... Well, that's not right.

Li Yao had flown into the air with a black chakra chain before, so even if he reacted, it would be difficult to dodge their attacks.

Standing there, he truly demonstrated that his reaction speed was not inferior to that of an elite jonin.

"Peng!"

Li Yao also wanted to control other black iron chains to attack Sarutobi Tenzhu.

However, Sarutobi Tenju had already used the power of the black iron chain's attack to quickly retreat, creating a safe distance between him and Li Yao.

"You really know my abilities well."

Li Yao frowned slightly when he saw Sarutobi Tenju retreat after one strike, not giving him the chance to control the black iron chain to attack his body.

In this way, it seems a bit difficult to test the strength of each ninja in the pursuit team without revealing a lot of abilities.

When Li Yao felt that Sarutobi Tenju and others were troublesome, Sarutobi Tenju was also impressed by Li Yao's fighting talent.

Seeing the ink liquid sliding on the ground, and then looking at the lightning chakra wrapped around Li Yao's black iron chain, Sarutobi Tenju instantly understood that after only a few seconds of fighting last time, Li Yao had already seen the weakness of his wife Ayase's fake beast painting.

Facing the characteristic of Fire Style that it cannot evaporate but instead becomes stronger.

Li Yao did react quickly.

Fire escape doesn't work, but instead strengthens ink and water. That means the chakra attribute of ink and water cannot be wind escape, because fire overcomes wind.

It is also impossible to be Lightning Release, because the chakra of Lightning Release is too violent and is not suitable for condensing ink and water to create a super beast fake painting.

In fact, the only chakras suitable for condensing ink and water to create super beast fake paintings are water jutsu and earth jutsu.

Among them, water escape is the most suitable.

That's why Li Yao subconsciously wanted to use fire escape technique to evaporate the ink and remove its stickiness.

But it is obvious that Sarutobi Ayase used earth-style chakra to condense ink and water, successfully misleading ordinary people into thinking of the characteristics related to water-style chakra when they saw ink and water.

Li Yao was one of those who were misled.

But he quickly realized that ink is not just water, it can also be soil, so it is natural for lightning escape to restrain earth escape.

The fact was just as Li Yao thought. After being wrapped in the lightning chakra, the ink could no longer stick to the black iron chain and lost its stickiness.

"where?"

Li Yao turned his head and looked, his brows furrowed instantly. Shui Mo's trouble was resolved by his Thunder Escape, but his core target was still the woman who used the Super Beast fake painting.

But now the only thing that Chakra senses is the man in front of me, where is the other woman?

"Could it be..."

Li Yao's expression suddenly changed slightly. He suddenly realized that the enemy's perception ability was wider than his and could attack him from outside his perception range.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Sure enough, Li Yao's speculation did not change, and another large group of ink birds flew into his chakra perception range from a distance.

At the same time, Sarutobi Tenshu on the other side was not idle either, and vacuum balls shot out from his mouth.

The couple had decided not to get close to Li Yao to attack, and only use long-range attacks to consume Li Yao's chakra, in order to determine whether the Li Yao here was a shadow clone.

After Li Yao held out for a minute under the attacks of the two, his shadow clone's chakra was exhausted and it dissipated into a cloud of smoke.

"It really is a shadow clone!"

Sarutobi Tenju came to the place where Li Yaoying's clone disappeared, frowning, with an unpleasant look on his face and a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Not to mention that Li Yao was able to withstand such a huge memory shock with his shadow clone that existed for more than twenty hours.

After existing for such a long time and fighting fiercely with him for more than a minute, isn't the chakra consumed a bit too much?

Didn't the intelligence say that when Li Yao was fighting with Lord Mito, he used a forbidden technique similar to the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu, which destroyed all the acupuncture points in his body. Even if he didn't die, the amount of chakra in his body was restricted and became very little?

How can the shadow clone possess such a huge amount of chakra?

Sarutobi Tenju couldn't get an answer, but his fear of Li Yao grew.

Chapter 74 Black Iron Eagle

"Trouble!"

Inside the waterfall cave, Li Yao stood up and rubbed his forehead to relieve his mental fatigue.

Because he had to maintain constant conscious contact with his shadow clones, he didn't sleep last night. Now he was also receiving a portion of the memory shock after the two shadow clones dissipated. He felt a little tired, but he could still bear it.

The shadow clone Li Yao on the other side also took the initiative to disband.

He had already guessed that the shadow clone on the other side had also been found by the pursuit team, but he just didn't notice it.

The opponent should be the Hyuga clan ninja with the Byakugan. His shadow clone cannot sense the distance enough, so it is useless for him to stay.

What is troubling Li Yao now is that the enemies are very vigilant. When facing his shadow clones, they mainly focus on consumption, and some of the ninjutsu methods against him will not be exposed.

Moreover... thinking of the man who kept using long-range attacks, Li Yao's heart moved slightly, and he guessed that the ninjas in the pursuit team didn't seem to want to kill him very much.

Or it seems that the determination to kill him is not as strong as when they first met.

More like... just keep your eyes on him.

"why?"
