Chapter 373
[“The key is that Kakuzu needs most of his combat power to hold him back, and there is no chance to concentrate all his combat power to deal with Hidan!”]
“Tsk! It seems that I am not as good as Kakuzu! I really want to sacrifice all these people to the evil god!”
Hidan grinned in dissatisfaction. Kakuzu turned his head and looked at him and said, “Don’t you understand your own fighting style? As long as you don’t change your troublesome ritual, you are destined to only be able to deal with a small number of opponents.”
“I know it’s troublesome! But the rules are strict, what can I do!” Hidan waved his hand impatiently. The sect’s rules are his bottom line. No matter how crazy he is, there is no room for negotiation in this regard.
[However, this means that someone must hold Hidan back, so Ino volunteered to stand up. 】
【"Let me go. Right now, I have the most chakra, and I can't help much in a direct battle, so I'll use the Heart Transfer Technique..."】
【Shikamaru immediately interrupted her self-recommendation: "No! The Heart Transfer Technique is supposed to be used after my Shadow Mimicry Technique has sealed the opponent's actions. If something goes wrong, you won't be able to return to your body for several minutes. The risk is too high!"】
【After dispelling Ino's idea, Shikamaru continued: "Let me do it. I'll use the Shadow Mimicry Technique to restrain him, and then take him away from here."】
["The little girl of the Yamanaka family has a very low role in this battle..."]
["It's normal. The Yamanaka clan is originally a supporting type of ninja. They basically develop in the direction of intelligence, perception, communication, etc. Combat type ninjas are rare!"]
["Single If they act alone, the ninjas of the three families, Nara, Yamanaka, and Akimichi, all have obvious shortcomings. They can only fully play their respective roles in coordinated operations! ”]
[“Nara is actually better. Although his attack power is not enough, his control is remarkable. Even if he can't beat the enemy, he is a good choice to delay time!”]
[“It's easy to be at a loss when encountering people with a lot of chakra or strong power. Shikamaru has suffered several losses in this regard!”]
[“So we need his intelligence to make up for it! Anyway, just do as he said, let him hold back Hidan, and the others will concentrate on defeating Kakuzu!”]
[But this requires someone to help lure the enemy and cooperate with Shikamaru in the attack. Although Choji took the initiative to volunteer, Shikamaru obviously couldn't agree to this arrangement. After all, with Choji's level of physical skills, it is impossible for him to not be hurt by Hidan. 】
【"Choji, you and Kakashi-sensei should save your chakra to deal with the guy in the mask." Shikamaru turned to look at Hidan and said with a sharp look: "I will be the only one to contain that guy, and I will also complete the plan!"】
【Looking at Shikamaru who made the decision, everyone was silent for a moment, and Kakashi agreed to the arrangement and handed something to Shikamaru. 】
["I don't doubt that Shikamaru can hold off Hidan, but do Kakashi and the other two have the ability to kill Kakuzu four more times?"]
["It depends on Kakashi's performance, but I always feel that Kakashi seems to be a little weaker than his opponent in terms of hard power..."]
["From the perspective of momentum alone, Kakashi is indeed not as good as Kakuzu! But fighting is unpredictable, and it's not surprising that anything happens before the end!"]
["Hehe, it seems that everyone has experience..."]
["We have been watching the sky for so long, and we should know a little bit about the nature of these people. After all, even death is a matter of life and death. It can be reversed, and it seems normal for some outrageous things to happen again! ”]
【Shikamaru took a few steps forward, without saying much, and directly controlled the shadow to rush towards Hidan and Kakuzu. Although the speed was fast, this direct attack obviously could not have any effect. Hidan dodged the shadow in the first time and sneered: "This trick again! Are my sickle and ability so terrible? Ah! Even the attack is so far away, it's really useless!"]
【Kakuzu and the three black monsters also dodged at the same time, and then Kakashi took the initiative to jump into their encirclement, using himself as bait to attract Kakuzu's attention.】
【On the other side, Shikamaru's shadow relentlessly chased Hidan, extending up along a dead tree. Hidan easily moved and dodged on the tree trunk, and at the same time, he noticed the chakra knife shot by the shadow in another direction from the corner of his eye. 】
["In a head-on battle, the Nara family's shadow is indeed difficult to catch the enemy. No wonder Kakashi said that bait is needed!"]
["Is that why Shikamaru likes sneak attacks so much? Every time, the shadow is already connected to the enemy before the enemy notices it!"][“A head-on battle is actually possible, but it requires planning, just like the previous battle between Shikamaru and Tayuya!”]
[“The shadow’s speed is not fast, but its range of action is quite large. The angle of the chakra knife is not bad!”]
[“It’s useless against Hidan. He could dodge or block the attack from such an extreme distance before. There’s no reason for him to fall here!”]
[So Hidan jumped off the tree trunk to avoid the attack from both sides. However, at the moment when he turned over and stayed in the air, Shikamaru also shot another chakra knife at him. Seeing that the chakra knife was about to hit his shadow, Hidan directly chopped the March sickle into the tree trunk, stepped on the handle of the knife and jumped up to avoid the attack. ]
[“Too naive, as long as you pay attention to the shadow, this technique is not a big deal.” Hidan said with a smug look on his face, but as soon as he finished speaking, Shikamaru actually took the initiative to approach, rushed towards Hidan along the tree trunk, and then punched him hard. 】
【"I'm not only good at attacking from a distance." His fist was blocked by Hidan's palm, but with the help of this physical contact, Shikamaru connected his shadow with Hidan's shadow, and the two landed at the same time. 】
【"Shadow imitation technique, success." 】
["Shikamaru used the fixed mindset, which is a standard routine!" ]
["This is where wise men are difficult to deal with. As long as you understand the combat mode of ordinary ninjas, you can make targeted plans and arrangements, but when fighting with smart people like the Nara family, you never know whether what you think you know is deliberately displayed by the other party. You may have a pit waiting for you in front!" ]
["In this round of attack, the shadow and the chakra knife are baits, and the real attack is Shikamaru himself... He created a bait out of thin air, which is amazing!" ]
【"You bastard..." Hidan was hit again, and he was so angry that his whole body trembled. Seeing this, Shikamaru controlled Hidan to throw away the March Scythe in his hand, grinning and saying, "Let's go for a pleasant walk together!"]
