Chapter 173: Team 7 vs Ino-Shika-Cho

As soon as the Third Hokage's voice fell, Yamanaka Inoichi immediately used Mind Body Switch Technique, targeting Obito.

Obito was controlled in an instant.

Rin noticed the telltale signs of the Mind Body Switch Technique and immediately reached out to Obito, trying to use her precise chakra control ability to attempt to undo the soul control imposed on Obito.

However, would Shikaku allow Rin to succeed?

He formed a seal with his hands, and a shadow stretched out from under his feet, dashing rapidly toward Rin.

Seeing this, Rin had no choice but to give up on rescuing Obito and leapt backward.

Kakashi, at the moment Obito was controlled, his hand lit up with lightning and charged toward Yamanaka Inoichi...

The control from the Mind Body Switch Technique affects both sides, Obito was immobilized, and so was Yamanaka Inoichi.

As long as they seized this opportunity, maybe they could reduce the number of opponents.

However, two of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio are support types. If enemies could easily break through their formation, they wouldn't have earned such a fearsome reputation.

Akimichi Choza, in the instant Kakashi charged forward, shouted loudly, "Partial Multi-Size Technique!"

As he spoke, his arm suddenly grew massive, turning into a gigantic arm that blocked Kakashi's attack path, firmly protecting Inoichi and Shikaku.

Kakashi looked at Choza's giant arm but still chose to continue charging, he wanted to pierce through with Chidori.

Because the target was so huge, he didn't even need to aim; he fired a Chidori directly at Akimichi Choza's arm.

However, this Chidori, which wasn't weak in power, only made Choza's arm emit some steam.

Choza cried out in pain, "Hot! Hot!"

But the massive hand then slammed toward Kakashi...

Because the coverage area was too large and Kakashi was too close, he couldn't dodge and was sent flying by the strike.

While in mid-air, he barely adjusted his posture in a rather pathetic manner and landed with difficulty on the nearby field, managing to stabilize himself.

At that moment, he gained a deeper understanding of how troublesome the Ino-Shika-Cho trio was.

But it wasn't over yet. After Rin dodged Shikaku's Shadow Imitation Technique, the shadow, as if anticipating her movements, curved and suddenly darted toward the spot where Kakashi was about to land after being knocked away.

Just as Kakashi landed, he had no time to react and was immediately caught by the Shadow Imitation Technique.

In an instant, he felt his whole body was restrained, as if his body no longer belonged to him.

Shikaku revealed a look of success and said, "Now, the two speed-type ninjas are both restrained. We can focus on the last power-type ninja."

As he spoke, another shadow split off from the one binding Kakashi and shot toward Rin.

At the same time, Obito, who was still under Yamanaka Inoichi's control, also began to move, charging toward Rin...

For a moment, Team 7's members were in a perilous situation.

Many ninjas in the audience showed expressions of "as expected."

After all, the Ino-Shika-Cho were too strong, even though the kids of Minato's squad had unimaginable talent, the gap between them and Ino-Shika-Cho was still significant.

These three forming a team is practically cheating.

Tsunade, seeing this scene, also got excited.

Although Rin had powerful strength and tailed beast-level chakra reserves, her speed wasn't fast, making it easy for her to be caught by the Shadow Imitation Technique.

Although Rin could definitely break free, breaking free takes time.

Don't forget, the "Cho" in Ino-Shika-Cho also had significant strength and powerful offensive techniques.

Even if Rin took a few hits head-on from the Human Bullet Tank, even with regeneration techniques like Creation Rebirth, it should still be too much.

'Maybe Ino-Shika-Cho can win...'

'Wait a minute!'

Tsunade suddenly wasn't so excited anymore.

'Why, with the situation like this, do I still feel that Ino-Shika-Cho only has a chance to win?'

In fact, in her heart, she still felt Rin had the higher chance of victory.

'No, I bet money on this!'

Tsunade looked at Rin with slight guilt and thought, "Sorry, little Rin, if I win, I'll buy you lots of strawberries."

"For now...", Tsunade clenched her fists in front of her chest and prayed sincerely, "Please don't activate Yin Seal. Please don't activate Yin Seal. Please don't activate Yin Seal!"

But of course, the thing you fear is the thing that comes.

On the field, after dodging multiple times, Rin was still caught by Shikaku's Shadow Imitation Technique.

Rin instinctively exerted force to break free. Shikaku suddenly felt an enormous force that almost cost him half his life.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood and cried out urgently, "Choza, quick, I can't hold on!"

Choza was originally hesitating about whether to use his ultimate technique on a young girl. After all, Rin's appearance was highly deceptive.

But seeing his friend cough blood just from a brief control attempt, he immediately realized how terrifying Rin's strength was.

No longer hesitating, he charged toward Rin. On the way, his entire body transformed into a huge rolling meatball that rolled faster and faster.

"Human Bullet Tank!"

The meatball kicked up a massive cloud of dust and charged toward Rin with terrifying force.

At this moment, Obito, still under Yamanaka Inoichi's control, was also gradually approaching Rin. For a moment, the situation looked incredibly dire.

Some children brought by their parents couldn't bear to watch.

Iruka was so scared he shut his eyes tightly, his face pale.

Uchiha Itachi tugged on Fugaku's sleeve, "Dad, Brother Obito and that sister are in danger."

Fugaku looked at Itachi with interest, "Didn't expect you to care about Brother Obito."

"Don't worry, though I don't know exactly how strong he is, he's not someone that can be taken down this easily..."

On the field, facing the incoming Human Bullet and the approaching Obito, Rin showed no trace of panic.

In her heart she thought, "Obito, Kakashi, at least for this moment, I've surpassed you both."

"Let me fight with all I've got."

A diamond-shaped mark gradually formed on her forehead...

Sarutobi Hiruzen saw this and couldn't help slapping his seat and turning to Tsunade.

"Tsunade, even that move, she's mastered it?"

Tsunade suddenly felt bitter and deflated, "Yes, her chakra is too abundant, she doesn't need much buildup at all. Moreover, all that chakra is perfectly controlled by her. Given her chakra control ability, I had a hunch... just these past few days."

Tsunade's heart bled, 'Ten million! A full ten million, just like that, gone...'

———

On the field, as the diamond mark appeared on Rin's forehead, her entire body began to emit a purple glow.

A chakra cloak gradually took form...

A purple robe draped over her, giving her an air of mystery and nobility.

Some Konoha jonin familiar with the Battle of Wind and Thunder were already shocked, "That's... the Purple-Robed Dragon King!"

The next moment, Choza's Human Bullet Tank arrived...

But Rin effortlessly broke free from Shikaku's restraints, Shikaku couldn't even maintain control over Kakashi anymore. He instantly collapsed onto one knee, drenched in cold sweat.

Shikaku shouted, "Choza, retreat quickly!"

However, Choza was already too close to change direction.

Over on Rin's side, she had already begun chanting, "Yin Seal: Ninja Art: Creation Rebirth!"
