Ino just felt that chakra fluctuation.
It was as if her soul had begun to tremble.
The coldness erupting from the depths of her soul made Ino feel as if she couldn't move. It was as if her throat was choked.
She couldn't make any sound.
"No!"
She couldn't stay here any longer. If this continued...
"We! Will... will die..."
BAM! BAM!
The battle outside was fierce.
Kakuzu was ambushed by Kakashi, and one of his hearts was destroyed. Just when everyone thought Kakuzu was dead. He suddenly stood up from the ground.
He kicked Kakashi, who was preparing to attack Hidan, away.
And at this time, Shikamaru's Shadow Imitation Technique couldn't hold on any longer. Five minutes was already Shikamaru's limit.
Next, he had to find a way to control Hidan with the Shadow Imitation Technique again.
Kakuzu was left to Kakashi and the others to deal with, but Shikamaru wanted to finish off Hidan with his own hands no matter what. To avenge his teacher, Asuma.
Choji looked at Kakuzu, who had suddenly stood up.
"What kind of monster is this guy! He's not dead yet?"
Shikamaru didn't have time to care about this question now. He picked up Asuma's chakra blades, preparing to control Hidan with the Shadow Imitation Technique again.
The battle continued.
Choji and Shikamaru dealt with Hidan. And Kakashi was responsible for temporarily holding off Kakuzu.
Having been tricked, all the anger suppressed in Kakuzu's heart erupted now. The anger of being defeated by Yuichi before was now all vented on Kakashi.
He released the three Earth Grudge Fear masks from his body.
They were the Wind, Lightning, and Fire attribute masks. And Kakuzu kept the Water attribute mask in his body. The battle began.
Kakashi was suppressed by Kakuzu.
But on the other side, Choji and Shikamaru cooperated to suppress Hidan.
Shikamaru used Asuma's chakra blades, combined with his Shadow Imitation Technique, to attack Hidan. Asuma's two chakra blades, after absorbing Shikamaru's chakra.
Also possessed the effect of the Shadow Imitation Technique.
As long as the shadow was pierced by the blade, the target would be unable to move.
These two chakra blades greatly enhanced Shikamaru's combat ability.
Making Hidan only able to dodge continuously, unable to find a suitable opportunity to attack. At this time, Hidan clearly felt the frustration of his weak taijutsu.
"If it were that guy!"
He would probably just use super-fast speed to send the opponent flying with a single punch in an instant! Hidan couldn't help but think of Yuichi's terrifying speed.
However, Yuichi's means were not just speed, but also a powerful Ice Style Kekkei Genkai. He could also easily freeze the enemy.
Hidan recalled Yuichi's taijutsu, and suddenly looked up at Shikamaru, who was rushing towards him, preparing to attack him with a fist.
He instantly imitated Yuichi's movements when fighting him before.
In mid-air, just as Shikamaru's fist was about to hit him. Hidan suddenly dodged.
Under Shikamaru's surprised gaze, Hidan kicked Shikamaru hard in the stomach. BAM!
Shikamaru flew backward.
He crashed heavily on the ground.
Hidan landed.
"Haha! I admit now, technique is not completely useless."
Choji quickly jumped to Shikamaru's side.
"Are you okay!"
Shikamaru stood up from the ground.
"I'm fine."
He looked at Hidan with some surprise.
From Hidan's previous fighting style, it could be seen that Hidan's fighting was mainly wild slashing. This guy relied on his immortal body and had no technique at all.
However, Hidan's attack just now was very beautiful.
The moment he dodged the attack, he could still deliver a fierce kick. Although Hidan's taijutsu was garbage.
But Hidan's strength was not weak.
Shikamaru's face was a little pale, clutching his abdomen. The kick just now must have caused bruising where he was hit.
"It hurts!"
"I didn't expect this guy to suddenly kick you!"
Choji said. Shikamaru smiled.
"Yeah! It was indeed a bit unexpected, but..."
Shikamaru slowly got up.
The shadow under his feet began to connect with Hidan's shadow.
Although it didn't go as he expected, connecting with the opponent's shadow through his fist. The moment he was attacked, Shikamaru also activated the Shadow Imitation Technique.
It was just that when he was hit hard, he couldn't control Hidan's body to that extent. Now!
Hidan felt his body was out of control again.
"Damn it... you guy actually..."
Shikamaru smiled.
"Did you notice! I'm different from you. I'm not someone who fights with brute force."
"My brain is my strongest weapon!"
In the distance, Kakashi, who was fiercely fighting Kakuzu, glanced over here.
"Well done! Shikamaru!"
"Alright! You idiot who only knows how to slash wildly, let's go somewhere else!"
Hidan grit his teeth, wanting to resist and break free, but it had no effect at all.
On the other side.
The battle between Kakuzu and Kakashi was also in a stalemate.
After blocking all of Kakuzu's attacks, Kakashi turned his head and said to Shikamaru.
"Go! Shikamaru, leave this to us!"
Choji also nodded.
"Leave it to us with confidence! Ino and I will help Teacher Kakashi deal with that monster!"
Hearing the words of the two, Shikamaru originally wanted to nod.
...
But he suddenly discovered a problem.
"Ino! Why hasn't she come out yet?"
Shikamaru suddenly noticed Ino!
Looking at Ino hiding behind a tree, motionless. Shikamaru was a little puzzled.
"Ino, what's wrong?"
Choji called her. Hearing someone call her.
Ino walked out from behind the tree.
However, Ino didn't seem to be hurt. But Ino's appearance was very strange.
It was as if... as if she was very scared!
Choji was a little worried.
"What's wrong, Ino?"
Being asked, Ino suddenly came back to her senses and found that the fear in her heart seemed to have dissipated a little. She looked at Choji and Shikamaru.
"Everyone..."
"Quick..."
"Run... quickly..."
Choji was a little anxious.
"What? Ino, what did you say?"
Ino's voice was too small to hear at all!
Seeing this, Ino took a step forward and took a deep breath.
Preparing to tell them that she sensed a terrifying monster approaching. But at this time.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew in her face. Ino instantly froze in place.
In this instant.
Everyone felt as if a cold wind was blowing in their hearts. The cold wind brushed past.
Everyone couldn't help but shiver. Immediately after.
Accompanied by a slightly cold wind, a somewhat cold voice sounded.
"She said, run quickly!"
The appearance of this voice.
Made Kakashi and the others instantly freeze. Even Kakuzu, who was waving his hand preparing to blast Kakashi away with a punch, suddenly stopped.
Even Hidan, who was controlled by the Shadow Imitation Technique. Somehow erupted with strength.
He actually turned his head abruptly to look in the direction from which the voice came. Under the scorching sun.
The sunlight hanging in mid-air shone down diagonally. On a withered tree.
On two branches of slightly different heights on the left and right. A figure appeared on each branch.
Black cloaks embroidered with familiar blood-red clouds.
Wind chimes jingling in the wind and sand, hanging on straw hats and swaying constantly! The sunlight shone from behind them.
Their faces were pitch black.
It was impossible to see what they looked like, but the surrounding temperature seemed to drop suddenly. It was clearly noon, when the sun was most intense.
But it felt like the biting wind of a cold winter... Shikamaru, Choji, Ino, Kakashi.
The four of them, in this instant, felt their hearts suddenly tighten.
"Akatsuki!!!"
