Chapter 48: Clone Showdown
Waving his hand to say goodbye, Sasuke called out to him, "Let's fight it out!" The masked Rain Shinobi Dream Fire was also lurking here. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Naruto scolded Sasuke for being stupid, "Why do you talk like that!" Sasuke was also helpless, "I'm sorry, Senior Dou, we don't have time." Naruto was angry, "Senior Dou is here to help us, are you mistaken?" Sakura also supported Naruto, thinking that this was not good. Sasuke also said that there was no other way. Dou said that Sasuke was lying, and he hadn't made up his mind yet, "You can just sneak attack and snatch the scroll, why challenge it head-on? Sneak attack is what ninjas should do." ”
Naruto said he didn't understand, and asked them to come along, there was another way, "The smoke of the fire and the smell of grilled fish have spread far away, and if you continue to stay here, you will be targeted by the enemy." The rain ninja was frightened and fled in a hurry. Jing Zang snorted, he was lucky, he wanted to kill him. Naruto and the three of them decided to act with Dou before they reached the Tower of the Finish.
On the way to the tower, Dou tells the three that there are indeed enemies, and that many of the squads that didn't grab the scroll must have concentrated on the tower. Sakura immediately understood, "They're in ambush there." Douya said that the enemy must have laid a trap with the same idea. Naruto also understood that as long as he defeated these people, he would definitely find the Book of Heaven. Dou told them that there was also a group of scroll collectors who specialized in snatching surplus scrolls and giving them to their comrades in the same village, and that such enemies were often very strong.
In the evening, 4 people arrived near the tower. Naruto shouted, shaking his hand and shooting kunai, which turned out to be a large centipede in the tree. Dou had to teach Naruto some simple hidden common sense, to hide his actions as much as possible. Naruto was embarrassed and nodded in understanding. Sakura moved from the grass, hiding in the trees, Sasuke holding a pipe and lurking in the water, only Naruto was entangled in the vines. The group continued on their way to a forest with many ninjas who had died in battle. Jing Zang had already noticed in the distance that it was an illusion trap, and Sasuke hadn't opened the Sharingan, so he hadn't noticed it.
Naruto accidentally tripped over the rope and the trap activated, shooting out a lot of kunai. Dou used his body to help Naruto block the attack, but he was injured himself, and 9 kunai shots hit Dou's back. Naruto screams, only to find that the pocket has turned into wood, which turns out to be a stand-in. Naruto was very grateful to Dou and thanked him loudly, feeling that Dou Senpai was really good.
Everyone walked for another while, Sakura couldn't walk, she was too tired. At this time, everyone realized that they had returned to square one, and the tree was still the centipede that Naruto had shot. Sasuke also understood that it was a large-scale illusion that would make them run for their lives, and then the enemy would come out to destroy the exhausted opponent. Encountering the illusion trap laid by the ninja dream fire of the rain ninja village, the fox has a spell in his heart. Because Naruto and they have been wandering in the same place, their physical strength has been weakened quite a bit.
Soon, there were many rain ninjas wearing bandages and black clothes on the trees, obviously a doppelganger technique, and the rain ninja Menghuo who was following just now was ambushed behind with his companions and Hao, laughing at the four people as turtles in the urn. Blindfolded, he could accurately sense the direction of Naruto and the others' movements.
Naruto stepped forward and hit a doppelganger, but the fist went through the enemy's body. Naruto fell to the ground, but the injured doppelganger split, and an enemy holding a kunai appeared inside, which was the Hazy Doppelganger Technique. Sasuke immediately opened the Sharingan and shot a shuriken, wounding the clone and saving Naruto. The enemy doppelganger shoots out kunai, Sasuke can't dodge it, and he knocks Sakai down, but he is injured in the arm by kunai. The seventh squad was besieged by the doppelgangers created by the enemy's illusions and fell into a bitter battle. Although Naruto knocked down the opponent's doppelgangers one by one, he couldn't eliminate them. Hao used the technique of reflecting fish in the soil and hid in the dirt to sneak attack the seventh group.
It turned out that Sasuke's spell was printed, so he couldn't act just now, so the power of the writing wheel could not be used. Going forward to check the kunai, not a phantom. Naruto suspected that the enemy was a shadow clone, but the shadow clone was supposed to disappear after being attacked. Sasuke said, "It's an illusion, and these enemies are phantoms." Sakura said, "But Senior Dou is injured." Supporting Sasuke's statement, "The enemy is hiding in the shadows, cooperating with the phantom attack. Naruto was a little blind, and he didn't have any tricks when he encountered illusions. It is inferred that the enemy is not good at melee combat and physical skills. The enemies all attacked with kunai, and everyone dodged and blocked.
Naruto felt that this was too passive, and despite Dou's dissuasion, he launched the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, setting off an overwhelming attack. But the Phantom, who had been knocked down, stood up again after a while. The three of Sasuke also attacked, and by the time dawn came, the four of them were finally too tired to get up. Led by the illusion ninja Dream Fire, he felt that it was time for the last hunt.
The three of them appeared in front of the four of them together, and Sasuke recognized them, one of them was the rain ninja who was stabbed when he first entered the forest, Yumehuo only had one eye exposed, holding an oxygen mask, and the rain ninja's eyes were all covered by the blindfold, so he couldn't see his face at all. Just as the three of them were ready to hunt their prey with great interest, the four Konoha also laughed.
Sasuke and the others appeared behind the rain ninja, and the three people in front of them were Naruto's shadow clones. The battle just now was just a one-man show sung by Naruto's shadow clone. Naruto consumed too much chakra and was a little tired. Sasuke thought that he would be able to leave the rest to himself, Naruto was not convinced, and jumped up and knocked down the stunned Dream Fire trio with one punch, "I won't let you steal my limelight." Sasuke was surprised to see that Naruto had become much more powerful. Dou exclaimed, "That's a lot of chakra!" The three of them got up and prepared to fight, "Hazy Clone Technique!" A lot of rain ninja appeared, Naruto exclaimed, "Shadow clone?" Sasuke looked at it, "No, it's just an ordinary clone, but something is wrong." ”
Naruto decides to attack all the clones and find out the main body. Naruto roared and rushed forward, and both Sasuke and Sakura felt that Naruto was too reckless. Sasuke found that as soon as he opened the chakra, his body would be in pain. The doppelganger Naruto hit didn't change, it remained the same, and Dou hurriedly jumped over to stop it. Sasuke forcefully opened the Sharingan, hoping to see the enemy's body, but unexpectedly, the spell was printed and fell to the ground. Sakura was shocked and hurriedly came over to hold on, "Don't use the Sharingan anymore!"
On the other side, Dou was injured again in order to save Naruto. Naruto was about to exert his might, but Sasuke hurriedly shouted, "There's no enemy body in there, it's an illusion clone." And Naruto couldn't do it anymore. Sasuke finally saw clearly, the enemy's main body was hiding underground with earth to attack Naruto from the shadows, which was the technique of reflecting fish in the earth. In order to cover Naruto, Dou was knocked down. The situation is extremely critical, Jing Zang, who has been following for a long time, has to take action, he didn't plan to show up, he was worried about being seen by the pocket.
Jingzang stood on the tree, "A bunch of stupid people, can't even clean up 3 miscellaneous fish?" Sakura and Naruto cheered together, "Jingzang, why are you here now?" Jingzang smiled, "I've been finding you since you were grilling fish by the river, and I've been following you all the way!" Sasuke was also surprised, "Damn, I didn't even notice it." "Dou was aware of it, but didn't take action. It's also easy for Dou to spot Crystal Zang, because along the way, Crystal Zang quietly lays out a lot of traps to help them stop the hostile ninjas who follow behind.
The three Yu Ninja were surprised, could the illusion just now be seen through by Jing Zang?Jing Zang didn't bother to explain, his Water Escape Ninjutsu was mixed with the Light Escape Chakra, it was very easy to crack this level of illusion, "Water Escape, Water Blade!" Naruto shouted, "Jing Zang, this kind of attack is useless." The three of them also mocked, and to everyone's surprise, the three rain ninja's hazy clones were shattered by countless water blades, and they could no longer maintain their original state, and they all disappeared.
Dou saw the name of the hall, this water escape ninjutsu just restrained this kind of doppelganger technique. Sasuke hurriedly reminded Crystal Zang that the enemy would escape, just below. Jing Zang smiled, "Then let them get out." The yang sword on Jing Zang's back flew out and spun at high speed and pierced into the ground, and the three rain ninjas jumped up screaming, "My flying sword will find it no matter where the enemy is hiding." ”
Naruto was overjoyed and unleashed a violent physical attack that knocked all three of them to the ground. Of the three of Hao, Menghuo, and Bonfire, only the injured Hao's physical skills are good, and the other two are very poor. As a result, the trio of rain ninja had crooked mouths and slanted eyes. Dou stood up, "Finally saved, Naruto." Sakura also shouted, "Naruto did a good job!" Naruto was also tired and sat on the ground to rest. Jing Zang came down from the tree, "Thank you, Senior Dou, thanks to you for taking care of them all the way." Douya smiled, "You are also very powerful!" Jing Zang shook his head, "No, my water escape is just enough to deal with these 3 rain ninjas, and Sasuke and the 3 of them can't escape from water, so they are naturally very passive." In fact, as long as you find the enemy's weak point, it is easy to defeat the enemy. ”
Naruto found the Book of Heaven from the three rain ninja who had been defeated. The crowd cheered together, and Dou was also very happy. Sasuke also noticed that there was something wrong with Dou, and Jing Zang avoided it even more, and in the end, this guy in Dou even gave Orochimaru a yin. On the way afterward, Jing Zang briefly explained the process of her hard work in hiding and searching for them these days, and Sakura also told Jing Zang in detail about the rest of the matter. Hearing that Tooth easily got the scroll to pass the level, Naruto was so angry that his teeth were itching, and he must have been laughed at by Tooth to death this time. Naruto and Ya have never dealt with each other, and when he was at school, he didn't fight a lot, and he had the momentum of Sakura and Ino.
Everyone came to the central tower together, and the two companions of the pocket also arrived, complaining that the pocket was too slow. Naruto came over and thanked Dou loudly, if it wasn't for Dou's help, they might have been eliminated. Dou praised it as a result of Naruto's strength. After encouraging each other, everyone went their separate ways and entered different doors.
Here, Dou began to report the whole process to Orochimaru, handing over the ninja card that recorded Sasuke's battle to Orochimaru. Orochimaru asked about Dou's opinion, but Dou said that he was just a spy, and the idea was to let Orochimaru take it. Orochimaru smiled and praised Dou for being very smart, and disappeared after speaking. What Orochimaru didn't know was that Dou didn't record Naruto and Akira's performances in it.
Sakura helped Sasuke, Crystal Zang helped Naruto, and after the four of them entered the hall, Sakura pushed Sakura away and stood up, Sakura felt a little sorry that she hadn't hugged enough. Naruto also left the crystal and shouted. Sakura pointed to the wall, where there were handwritten letters from the three generations of Hokage. Naruto couldn't read it, and Sakura read it to everyone, it was a tongue-twisting text, a text about the Book of Heaven and Earth and the Tao. Sakura thinks that she wants everyone to open the Book of Heaven and Earth now, and Naruto and Sakura will do it together. Unexpectedly, there were 2 characters inside, and Sasuke immediately understood, "It's a psychic possession technique!" Jing Zang also suddenly realized, similar to his own method of sealing the shadow clone.
Sasuke told the two of them to quickly throw away the scroll, and when the scroll fell to the ground, it was Iruka. Jing Zang was also very strange, opened his own single scroll and threw it on the ground, and what appeared was white. Everyone was dumbfounded, and Sakura asked, and Iruka could see that everyone had suffered a lot. It turned out that at the end of the second exam, it was the Nakashino who came to greet the candidates, but Iruka happened to bump into the 7th class. Jingzang's situation is special, so what appears inside is Bai who is a lower ninja. Jing Zang hated, "That means that it is useless for others to snatch my scroll." Teacher Hongdou really put me along!"
Iruka looked at the time, and before it was time to stop, he announced that Class 7 had passed the second exam. Bai also smiled and announced that Jing Zang had passed the exam. Iruka said, "Although I want to treat you to ramen to celebrate...... Naruto was overjoyed and stepped forward to hug Iruka, "Great, I finally succeeded!" Iruka was helpless, "You listen to me first!" Jingzang also went over and hugged Shiro in his arms, "Sister Shira, you miss me, I almost died in the Forest of Death." Whiteblush pushed it away, "I thought you'd give up." Jingzang shouted, "How could I, a man who never admit defeat, give up?, Naruto?" Sakura pouted, "Not really!"
Naruto was shouting excitedly, "Ramen! Ramen!" Crystal Khan, in Naruto's eyes, Iruka-sensei was equivalent to Ramen. Sakura and Sasuke both sat on the ground panting, sighing that Naruto was really energetic. Iruka laughed at Naruto was still the same as before, and there was no way to calm down. Bai helped Jing Zang check his body, "It's okay, you don't seem to have any injuries, they are all minor injuries such as abrasions." Jing Zang smiled, "Because I'm afraid you're worried!"
Sasuke asked about looking at the scroll halfway through. Iruka praised Sasuke for being as sharp as ever, and then told everyone that if he opened the scroll halfway, it would be a violation of the rules of the exam, and as Dou said, he would pass out until the end of the exam. Jing Zang is different, when he opens a separate scroll, he will say that he has abstained, and Bai will come and take him out of the examination room. Sasuke sneered, "You two fools, it's a good thing you didn't open the scroll. The two of them sweated, and Naruto worshiped the sky, "Senior Dou, thank you so much!" Sakura was also glad that the secret path was so dangerous.
