176. Sound Four

Team Guy took his advice to heart. 

"He is right; don't take them lightly." Guy trusted his intuition the most, and the fact that Sora was validating it didn't reassure him, but it made his guard go to the highest. 

He had not even hesitated when opening Gate of Joy due to the same. 

The instincts of Veteran Ninjas couldn't be underestimated. 

Sora had a quick response due to being a seal master and sensing the type of barrier. 

The Four who were on a circular perimeter from our Konoha Ninjas weaved some hand signs and slammed their hands on the ground. 

A Triple Rashomon barricaded them with some summons surrounding them. 

"What is that?" Tenten pointed at three giants in front of them. 

The giant's eyes and ears were covered with their mouths sewn shut. 

They were a red-haired girl- Tayuya's summons. 

She started playing something with her flute, making the giants move. 

Unknowingly, the 5 people present had been facing each cardinal direction to be face to face with sound 4. 

Actually only 4 of them, Sora was in the middle of the formation, seemingly getting protected by them. 

"Woah, Is that a stone golem?" Lee said out loud while noticing the yellow-orange-haired guy- Jirobo to be standing on it. 

Neji noticed a large spider floating in the air while floating on threads attached to the Rashomons.

It was also weaving threads and creating a network of spiderwebs.

Neji could tell that it was the summon of multiple arm persons, who also had a third eye- Kidomaru.

Guy noticed a person with two heads now getting split into two individuals- Sakon and Ukon. 

"Sensei, should we end this battle? I think it's going to get dangerous" Sora said while looking at the various different abilities displayed by the individuals. 

Kidomaru used his momentary distraction for his large summon to release small spiders. 

However, before they could do anything, Tenten attacked. 

All of the small spiders were killed along with the big one getting injured and using his thread to protect itself. 

"It's fine, you guys need experience anyway, I would be on standby, you also need experience" Guy changed his positions with Sora such that later was facing Ukon and Sakon. 

"Wait, I have to fight them too?" Sora asked surprised. 

It was not like he was scared, but more like he was looking down on his opponent. 

"I have a feeling that you would be surprised," Guy said while giving him a thumbs up. 

The duo rushed at Sora, but Sora just blankly looked at them. 

'Should I one-shot them?' He really had an urge to use Flying Dama and end this battle. 

'No, I should conserve my chakra in case Orochimaru himself shows up' Sora decided to engage the creepy duo in close combat and rushed at them.

Neji engaged with Tayuya and her 3 big demons. 

He had activated his shape-shifting Jutsu the moment he had released his Flying Dama To break the barrier. 

With Kunai in hand, he engaged in taijutsu with the latter duo. 

Despite being faster than them considerably, he was suppressed by their teamwork. 

"Aren't you the kid who was the prodigy at the moment, I can't believe that a kid like you is sent by his village to his death, It seems Hokage really want to get rid of promising seedlings" One of them tried to taunt him.

"You guys are just too weak that even a kid could defeat you" Sora taunted them back. 

At exactly that moment, the twins decided to use the Demon Demolition Technique and tried to get inside Sora's body. 

"How about No?" They were unable to use their trump card due to seals on Sora's clothing. 

They tried to retreat, but a seal appeared on their body. 

"Let me show you why we don't mess with seal masters" Sora had a devilish smile on his face. 

"AHHHH" They screamed as pain coursed through their body. 

"I have applied a seal on your body which is opposite in nature to the cursed seal on your body, they are conflicting," Sora said the purpose of the seal outright like a third-rate villain waiting for his doom. 

They immediately turned off their cursed seal. 

"We will-" Their words were cut short as multiple kunai pierced their body decimating their heart. 

'Hehe, I even preserved one Rasengan worth of chakra, is this how expert ninjas fight?' Sora giddly thought while a loud explosion sound was heard. 

Boom. 

It was the explosive tags he had attached with the kunai. 

He can't be like the villain who gets attacked he turns around. 

Sora will only turn around when he has to make sure that the enemy won't get up, in this case, they don't have a body to get up. 

Meanwhile, Neji could be seen dominating the three giant demons controlled by Tayuya.

They really had amazing synergy, but that didn't stop them from getting their chakra points sealed. 

Whether there are dogs or humans, Gentle Fist doesn't discriminate on the basis of their species. 

Tenten was in a clash with Kidomaru. 

She hadn't let him get closer because, with those 6 hands of his, she would be at a disadvantage however one person could see. 

She was on the disadvantageous side, but she was doing a good job at stalling him.

Sakon and Ukon's death made the other three members get more ferocious and suicidal.

They didn't want to accept the reality that their current leader died. 

Jirobo could be seen in physical combat with Lee, but former was being greatly suppressed by the latter. 

It's worth noting that Lee hasn't even opened one of his gates yet. 

Jirobo had really outstanding strength, so great that it could overpower most of the Akimichi clan members. 

However, strength matters only when one can hit the other party. 

Not only his summon was not able to touch Lee, but Lee was scurrying around the golem's body while fighting the round-shape monster. 

Jirobo's kekkei genkai involved absorbing chakra from their opponents, however, for that to work, he needed to actively touch his opponent. 

However, Lee had also noticed that he was not causing much damage to the big guy's body. 

So, Lee momentarily paused and opened three gates at once. 

Jirobo was very gleeful as he felt that he would finally hit the other party due to the latter stopping for a second felt pain in his abdomen. 

To his shock, Lee's punch had pierced his defences.

Lee kicked the giant on the head and destroyed it's head in just one strike. 

While falling towards the ground, he deactivated his gates. 

Tayuya's Genjutsu was useless against our white-freaked stoic bastard. 

Her demons had brought out some special worms that feed on physical chakra, but that just seemed like a joke when Neji unleashed his 32 Palms which all were vacuum ones, thus long range. 

Tayuya soon fell to the same fate as her fallen comrades. 

Her summons were the first ones to go followed by her. 

Tenten who was at this point just escaping with her life got reinforced by Neji who easily cut through Kidomaru's special threads. 

Meanwhile, Sora decided to blow up the other 2 fallen people's bodies as he was scared that some other random jutsu would be cast if he let their bodies remain there. 

Lee joined Tenten and Neji against Kidomaru, and at this point, it didn't look like a battle, more like bullying. 

Kidomaru along with his big spider fell in the battle and their corpses were then blown by Sora.

Team Guy along with Sora exit the Rashomon gates that were surrounding them before talking. 

"These guys really had weird bodies, it felt unnatural," Tenten said while shivering. 

"It seems they are a result of Orochimaru's human experimentation" Neji said while shaking his head in disdain.

"Good job on the battle guys, you took care of it nicely" Guy commended their efforts and gave some suggestions about some of their mistakes or inquired about some interesting decisions during their battle respectively. 

While doing that, Sora sent his shadow clones to knock everyone in that base and free the prisoners. 

"We have only one more base left to do before leaving, be careful" Guy warned and they moved on towards the next base after resting for a while. 

They were a bit scared and prepared to face even stronger enemies. 

"That was anti-climatic" Sora deadpanned while knocking everyone in the third base. 

"Where did you learn this complicated word?" Tenten asked curiously. 

Almost everyone in Konoha 12 knew that Sora had crammed 6 years worth of content in a few days with the help of his shadow clones before getting his promotion to Chunin directly. 

They also knew that his knowledge about some of the points was really not par to what even a genin should have and Hokage also knows that while giving him missions. 

So, despite being talented and intelligent, he is seen more as a "More Brawn less brain" kind of Guy due to that reason. 

"Hanabi once used this word, so I copied from her"
