Chapter 358
[“If we consider the strength of the Akatsuki members to be of the same level, take Deidara who captured Gaara single-handedly as an example, there are at least two Kages here! As for Konoha, even if the other three people besides Asuma are considered as jonin, they are only four jonins. Can Shikamaru’s intelligence make up for the difference in strength between the two?”]
[“Kakuzu, don’t interfere. I want to use them for the ritual. I’ll give you the money.” Hidan also didn’t take the four people seriously. After taking back the March sickle, he said to himself. Kakuzu naturally had no objection, and even for the sake of money He kindly reminded him, "Okay, but don't be careless, or you'll die."]
["Is that what you're saying to me? If you can kill me, I'm looking forward to it." Hidan was chatting with Kakuzu, while stepping on the blood from the wound and drawing a circle with a triangle inside on the ground, "But it's unlikely."]
[With no extra energy to stop Hidan's strange behavior, Asuma conveyed his action plan to Shikamaru, who would restrain Hidan and then chop off his head. 】
["Hey, as a companion, this Kakuzu can't be unaware of Hidan's abilities, right? Why did he remind him to be careful of losing his life?"]
["I said it's definitely not immortality in the conceptual sense. Judging from Kakuzu's reminder, there is indeed a way to kill Hidan!"]
["But Hidan himself denied it. Is he just bragging or is it true?"]
["Are you so confident that you only let one person take action?"]
["In order to keep the story going, you Akatsuki really took great pains. Are you afraid that all your opponents will die at once!"]
["You are worthy of being a crazy believer. You have to do so many things before the battle!"]
["There are too many preparations for the battle. Almost every step has the opportunity to be exploited by the enemy. Relying on your immortality, So arrogant, right!"]
["On the other hand, it also shows that this guy is very strong. With such complicated battle preparations, he is still alive!"]
["Asuma is good. He has already figured out a way to cut off the opponent's head!"]
["As long as you calm down, any normal person can come up with this method... But in such a tense atmosphere, it is quite difficult to calm down!"]
["Shikamaru's condition is not very good. He still hasn't recovered. This plan should have been proposed by him!"]
["This is too risky. It's not like you at all..." The unexpected enemy made Shikamaru hesitate about this plan. Gang Zitie also felt that it was a bit risky and expressed his willingness to work with Asuma. 】
【"Don't you understand? This is the most feasible way at the moment! They are much stronger than us..." Asuma said with a serious expression: "Izumo, Kotetsu, keep an eye on the other member of Akatsuki and cover Shikamaru..."】
【Kamizuki Izumo proposed a retreat, but was immediately rejected by Asuma: "Do you think the opponent will let us go easily? If we retreat without a fight, we will be wiped out, and Konoha will be in greater danger..."】
["Oh, it seems that it's not that Shikamaru can't think of this plan, but that he doesn't want Asuma to take risks!"]
["How can a plan be perfect? Some risks must be accepted!"]
["Isn't it the case with the battle with the Sound Four? There were omissions in almost every arrangement. After all, the enemy is not a fool who can't think. How can they follow your plan completely!"]
["Too emotional If you want to become a jonin, sometimes you have to make necessary sacrifices!"]
["Hey, hey! Why do you assume that Asuma is going to sacrifice? Who knows what will happen next! From what Asuma said before, Konoha sent people to capture the two people from Akatsuki with a purpose. There must be reinforcements behind them!"]
["Is it really impossible to retreat when you know you are not the opponent?"]
["Unless you are a ninja with high-speed movement ability, if the gap in strength is obvious, the weaker party will choose to retreat, which will indeed increase the possibility of annihilation!"]
[After saying these discouraging words, Asuma joked to himself: "Sometimes, this method is needed to break through the enemy's front..."]
[This reminded Shikamaru of the first time he came into contact with shogi, when he used the tactic of sacrificing the silver chess piece to win. And now, Asuma seems to have become the silver general that is about to be sacrificed. 】
【"You are not suitable to be a silver..." Shikamaru's face was a little gloomy, AsAsuma smiled nonchalantly, "Haha, I won't be abandoned, because you are here."]
[Hidan screamed in pain and pulled out the two swords stuck in his torso, and said to the Konoha group viciously, "You bastards who don't understand other people's pain, God will punish you."]
["I feel like Shikamaru's memory is hinting at something..."]
["Learn from Naruto, think of something positive when you want to recall, thinking about sacrifice, abandonment, bait, etc. is just making yourself uncomfortable!"]
["Although it's a bit strange to use shogi as an analogy, Asuma is indeed the role of a vanguard bait here. It depends on whether he can withstand the opponent's attack, and what kind of offensive others can cooperate with him!"]
The ominous premonition became more and more obvious. Shikamaru pursed his lips, his face was as gloomy as water, and he concentrated on watching the battle that was about to begin.
[“Tsk, being stabbed by that big knife, but being able to scream with vigor after pulling it out, this scene really tests my mental strength!”]
[“If I were there, I would have been amazing if I hadn’t been frightened to the point of being unable to move, let alone mustering up the courage to fight!”]
[Asuma’s trust calmed Shikamaru down. He closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then formed a hand seal and looked at Hidan seriously. The battle was about to break out. At the moment when both sides tightened their weapons, Asuma and Hidan rushed towards each other at the same time. ]
[Asuma easily cut off the big knife that Hidan pulled out of his body, and after passing by, he turned around and launched a second attack. At the same time, Shikamaru’s Shadow Seam Technique also took the opportunity to attack Hidan, and cooperated with Asuma to attack him from both sides. ]
[Faced with this attack, Hidan did a backflip and jumped into the air. After dodging several shadow tentacles that harassed him, he threw another big knife at Asuma who was attacking from the front. 】
