Chapter 76: A Sudden Turnaround
"It's so easy to solve, it doesn't seem like he's very strong."
Inuzuka Tooth jumped down from the tree on the side, and his original task was to rush out to mend the knife when Ding Ji missed, but now it seems that he doesn't need to make a move.
"Tooth, why did you come out!"
Shikamaru was very dissatisfied with Inuzuka's assertive behavior, and he always felt that things were not so simple. Originally, Inuzuka could still be used as a hind hand in case of accidents, but now it is good and completely exposed.
"What's the matter, isn't it all over, as long as we get the scroll from him and break the seal, we win."
Inuzuka was unimpressed by Shikamaru's caution, and as he spoke, he walked towards Zhou Xiaoning, wanting to get the scroll from him.
However, at this moment, Zhou Xiaoning, who was bound by the shadow, suddenly exploded with a "bang", turning into a burst of white smoke and dissipating.
"Shadow clone!"
Shikamaru and the others were taken aback, they never thought that they had wasted so much effort and only caught a shadow clone!
But then again, this shadow clone is too realistic, not only the white eyes of Ninji and Hinata, but even Ino's mental power perception, as well as Inuzuka and Akamaru's sense of smell have been deceived, is this still the shadow clone they are familiar with!
So, now the question is, since what appeared was just a shadow clone, where was the real Zhou Xiaoning?
"Oh no, let's go!"
Shikamaru's face changed suddenly, after the combination of fruit ability and family secret arts, he can definitely be called the ruler of the shadow, he can not only control the shadow as he wants, but also detect and sense a certain range through the shadow. And just now, Shikamaru felt that within the range of the shadow under his control, there was an extra shadow that was not under his control, and it was moving towards them at an extremely fast speed, needless to say, this must be Zhou Xiaoning.
For Shikamaru's judgment, Ding Ji and Inuzuka were still very convinced, so the three of them retreated without hesitation and rushed to the second ambush site.
In order to deal with Zhou Xiaoning, Lu Maru racked his brains, and in a few hours, he arranged four ambushes.
Shikamaru, Ding Ci and Inuzuka Tooth are the first way, among which Ding Ci and Inuzuka Tooth are the strongest physical attack among the small powers, and they launched a surprise attack to contain Zhou Xiaoning's attention, and then the strongest brain of Shikamaru found the opportunity to use the shadow secret technique to capture Zhou Xiaoning alive.
Such a combination is not strong, if Zhou Xiaoning is only at the level of ordinary shadow level, and does not understand Lu Maru's ability, if he doesn't check it for a while, maybe he will really be hit.
It's just that there aren't so many ifs in the world, and it's an indisputable fact that Zhou Xiaoning used a shadow clone to break the first ambush carefully arranged by Lu Maru.
"Hmph, I want to leave after the fight, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world."
Zhou Xiaoning pursed his lips, exerted force under his feet, and the speed of his progress suddenly soared, seeing that he would be able to catch up with Lu Maru and them in another five or six meters.
"Die for me!"
With a roar from Haruno Sakura, the strange power fist with the power of Wan Jun hit Zhou Xiaoning without reservation.
It turned out that I didn't know when, Zhou Xiaoning had already entered the second ambush circle arranged by Lu Maru. At this time, the three of Shikamaru no longer ran away but turned around and launched an attack on Zhou Xiaoning again.
"It's a good time to attack, but unfortunately it doesn't hurt me."
Zhou Xiaoning stretched out his hand very indifferently, grabbed Haruno Sakura's wrist casually, and easily defused her attack.
Then Zhou Xiaoning threw his backhand and threw Haruno Sakura out without mercy, and the direction was Ding Ci's giant fist. At this time, Ding Ci didn't spare anything in order to defeat Zhou Xiaoning, he didn't expect such an accident to happen, and now even if he wanted to regain his strength, it was too late. It is conceivable that if Sakura Haruno bumps into her like this, she may not be able to leave a few intact bones in her body.
However, with such an injury, with Haruno Sakura's ability to recover fruits, it will be able to recover in less than ten minutes, and at most, during this time, Haruno Sakura will be paralyzed and unable to fight.
Shikamaru and the others are very aware of Haruno Sakura's fruit ability, so they didn't take the action of rescue, the attack that should be attacked, the containment that should be contained, and it looks as if they completely ignore Haruno Sakura's life or death.
This can make Naruto anxious, although last night when everyone discussed the plan, Shikamaru also introduced to Naruto the current abilities of himself and others, but in a hurry, how could Naruto think so much.
I saw Naruto ignore Ino's obstruction, jumped out of the hiding place, and performed the shadow clone technique in the air, using the shadow clones as pedals, rushing straight towards Sakura Haruno, and saving her at the last moment.
"Naruto, didn't I let you hide!"
Shikamaru now has a strong urge to scold.
You must know that Shikamaru has only arranged a total of four ambushes. Among them, the first two are bait, even if they fail, it doesn't matter, the most important thing is to lure Zhou Xiaoning to the next ambush location. And the third ambush is the most important, and Naruto, Xiao Li, Ningji, Tiantian, and Shino are all placed in this group. As for the fourth ambush, it was purely for the back hand that was prepared in case of a fight.
If everything can be carried out according to his plan, not to mention that he can defeat Zhou Xiaoning, but at least he can be caught off guard, and then he can take advantage of the chaos to steal the scroll from Zhou Xiaoning. After all, this time the strength test item was to snatch the secret letter scroll on Zhou Xiaoning's body, and unlock the seal on it, even if they won after interpreting it, they couldn't afford to fight with Zhou Xiaoning here.
But now, being manipulated by Naruto like this, the ambush location was exposed in advance, not to mention, which led to the collapse of the entire plan, which is how Shikamaru can not be angry.
"Ahaha, I was too worried about Sakura just now, so I couldn't help but ......"
Naruto scratched his head in embarrassment, he had already calmed down, and naturally understood what kind of trouble his actions had caused to his companions. So, in order to express their apologies, they had to win this quiz!
"Brother Zhou, I'm sorry!"
Although Naruto said apologetic words in his mouth, he didn't hesitate at all in the movements of his hands, only to see his hands sealed, and at once summoned more than two hundred shadow clones, and then in groups of two, he began to rub the spiral pill.
"There's no way, now I have to be hard!"
Shikamaru sighed helplessly, there was no way to implement his plan anymore, and he had to fight hard for the future!
