Hiding in the sand, splitting into many places, starting with Arkham

“This is…”

“Shadow Imitation Technique!”

A pineapple-headed ninja wearing a green vest stood in front of the fat ninja, his hands forming the Ram seal.

The ninjutsu that held Kiyomizu in place, preventing him from moving, came from this person.

“The Nara clan? Ino-Shika-Cho? So Maki was caught by the Yamanaka clan's ninjutsu just now, so next…”

Kiyomizu frowned slightly.

Sure enough, a round meatball was accelerating towards Kiyomizu from the side.

“Human Bullet Tank!”

Seeing this, Yekura gritted her teeth and, risking being slashed on the shoulder by Maki, threw a burning explosive kunai at the Nara clan ninja.

A siege to relieve Wei!

The shadow binding Kiyomizu retreated as expected, and Yekura's shoulder was also slashed by Maki.

Regaining his mobility, Kiyomizu quickly manipulated the little boy to assist Yekura, while simultaneously activating Pneumatic Fist, colliding head-on with the Akimichi clan ninja's Human Bullet Tank.

That guy was hammered away with a punch and smashed to the ground, but judging from his stout appearance, he was not seriously injured.

Tentacle-like shadows attacked again.

“Annoying!”

The spring under the fat ninja's feet sprang open instantly, launching Kiyomizu backwards, while under Kiyomizu's control, he used the reaction force to pounce towards the Akimichi clan ninja.

“Multi-Size Technique!”

The latter's palms became enormous.

“Black Secret Technique · Pneumatic Fist · Full Power!”

The fat puppet's arms collided with the Akimichi clan ninja's palms, and they began to wrestle.

The Nara clan ninja began to approach Kiyomizu, trying to use the Shadow Binding Technique to control Kiyomizu again.

Limited by the shadow area, there is an upper limit to the extension range of the Shadow Binding Technique.

“Yekura!”

Kiyomizu shouted.

Yekura endured the severe pain in her shoulder and, while Maki, controlled by the Mind Body Switch Technique, was still entangled by the little boy, she quickly formed hand seals.

“Fire Release · Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!”

More than a dozen fireballs shot out from Yekura's mouth, flying all over the sky and scattering.

Under the illumination of the Fire Release, the shadow was cut off, and the Nara clan ninja also needed to evade the Fire Release attack.

“It's not over yet!”

Yekura was obviously serious, disregarding the loss of chakra and forming hand seals again.

After all, she is a Sand Village hero who will rise in the Third Shinobi World War in the future, possessing the ability to threaten the position of the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa.

If she did not have extremely high attainments in Wind Release and Fire Release, it would be impossible for her to fuse her own Bloodline Limit, Scorch Release.

“Shadow Gathering Technique · Black Shield!”

The shadow retreated actively, turning into a circular arc-shaped mirror to wrap the Nara ninja.

At this time, Kiyomizu shifted some of his attention to Maki.

The Yamanaka clan's ninjas are jacks-of-all-trades among support ninjas, capable of serving as both sensory ninjas and intelligence ninjas. They also possess strong control abilities during combat, and at the very least, they can use trade-off tactics within a limited time.

However, while their abilities are strong, the Yamanaka clan's secret techniques also have certain flaws, such as being difficult to hit, or the inability of the controlled person to use ninjutsu.

For example…

“Sorry, Maki.”

Kiyomizu controlled the fat ninja with one hand to fight the Akimichi clan ninja, and with the other hand, he controlled the little boy to attack Maki.

“No need, I can feel that the mental strength of the person controlling me is declining now!”

Maki looked at Kiyomizu, parrying the little boy's mechanical arm with his ninja sword, and said.

Kiyomizu did not answer, but pulled with his left hand, using only three fingers to control the chakra threads, allowing the little boy to eject a mechanical claw and gear blade connected by a rope to restrict Maki's movements, while simultaneously pinching a senbon with his freed index finger and thumb to shoot it out.

The power of senbon is relatively low, not enough to injure Maki, and the location where it is stuck is the inner side of the upper arm, which has rich nerve tissue, so if the senbon is poisoned, it will definitely achieve the effect Kiyomizu wants.

There is a relatively thick layer of flesh here, not enough to injure internal organs, making it the most suitable location.

“Ah!” × 2

Two screams sounded at the same time.

One came from Maki, and the other was naturally the Yamanaka clan ninja.

Using the Mind Body Switch Technique to control others, when that person is injured, the caster's spirit will also suffer the same degree of damage.

Therefore, wanting to directly use the Mind Body Switch to control the enemy and then have a companion kill them is basically the same as a suicidal approach. Generally, the Ino-Shika-Cho combination controls the enemy with the Mind Body Switch, then the Nara clan's Shadow Binding Technique continues to control them, and the Akimichi clan provides frontal combat capabilities, protecting the two support-type companions.

The moment the scream sounded, Kiyomizu identified the position by the sound, and with a flick of his palm, the little boy immediately changed direction to pursue and kill.

The caster's spirit was attacked, and Maki finally broke free from the Mind Body Switch Technique, covering the area pierced by the senbon with his hand, with a painful expression on his face.

“Didn't you say… it wasn't needed?! Damn it, what kind of poison did you use? Why does it hurt so much?”

“A good thing extracted from the venom of desert fire ants. Only one milligram can cure hemorrhoids, but the side effect is stimulating nerve endings, magnifying the pain dozens of times.”

Kiyomizu shrugged, took out a small bottle from his ninja tool pouch, poured a little antidote on his finger, and pressed his finger on Maki's body, using Hemostatic Technique to stimulate cells to quickly absorb the antidote.

“Ah!!!!!!”

Maki screamed again.

“It hurts even more now!!!!”

“Sorry, but it will only hurt this once, in order to allow you to detoxify quickly. Look, isn't it better now?”

Maki gasped for breath, his forehead covered with fine beads of sweat, his face flushed.

“Are you deliberately retaliating because I hurt Yekura?”

“Huh?”

Kiyomizu tilted his head, a big question mark appearing above his head.

“Still pretending, I saw through you two a long time ago! ”

Maki spat on the floor, feeling that he had recovered enough, and took his ninja sword to find the Yamanaka clan ninja who was entangled by the little boy.

He had accumulated a belly full of anger and needed to vent it fiercely.

The Yamanaka clan ninja was besieged by the little boy and Maki, and was about to give up, shouting to his companion:

“Damn it, Nara Hisadai, didn't you say that these guys were almost out of chakra? Why are they still so difficult to fight? Think of a way!”

“Now, we can only use our trump card!”

Nara Hisadai didn't have any good ideas either, so he looked at his Akimichi clan companion.
