NTHO: Chapter 19

"Whew. My jutsu is a little lacking when it comes to dealing with giant objects." Haryu seemed to be struggling. With the help of the parasitic insects, his Water Stream Whip had wrapped around Choji, but even though it was still wrapped with electricity, Choji wasn't pulled down or paralyzed, which made Haryu a little worried.

"His skin is too thick." This was the first time Haryu had encountered an opponent with such strong defense.

Looking at Hinata and Kiba in front, they were truly suppressing Ino and Shikamaru, preventing the three from cooperating, and Choji was just a giant shell.

Of course, even if Haryu couldn't break through Choji directly, this wasn't his main attacking position. Shino's parasitic insects had already been deployed the moment Haryu charged forward. It had been about ten minutes now. Logically, Choji's chakra should have been absorbed by now.

Insect Technique: Insect Jade!

Shino seized the opportunity and launched his jutsu! The parasitic insects that had infiltrated Choji's body suddenly gathered quickly, blocking the chakra transmission routes on a large scale.

Thump!

As expected, before Choji even noticed, his chakra had already been depleted by his own consumption and the parasitic insects' absorption, and then Shino forcibly destroyed it from the inside, his body, unable to support itself, collapsed with a thud, and then his size shrank.

"Sorry, Shikamaru." Even though he had collapsed from chakra exhaustion, Choji still remembered to apologize to his teammates. Maybe in his eyes, this failure was all his fault.

"Choji. No, Ino! Let's give it another try!" Shikamaru couldn't bear to watch his best friend Choji be defeated like this, so after forcing back Akamaru's clone with a heavy blow, he went to join Ino.

Ino retreated in time after hearing his shout, and she stood back-to-back with Shikamaru, each facing their own enemies.

"Ino, start. Now!"

Shikamaru gave the order, he first assumed a horse stance, quickly formed hand seals, and the shadow under his feet suddenly charged towards Kiba without warning.

Ino followed closely behind, suddenly turning around and making a heart shape with both hands towards Kiba.

Secret Technique: Mind Body Switch Technique!

Success!

Ino's body fell straight down, and Kiba's spirit was now asleep. Akamaru couldn't tell the change in Kiba, so he still surrounded Kiba. At this moment, Ino controlled Kiba's body to approach Hinata at high speed, Shikamaru's shadow was also catching Hinata, who was dodging and weaving, slowly, with Akamaru, Ino, and Shikamaru, they formed a siege against Hinata! If this continued, the situation might be reversed.

Haryu moved. At his top speed.

In that instant, he was a few steps faster than Inuzuka Kiba!

Before Shikamaru could control Hinata, Haryu flew over, slapped Akamaru, who was also leaping towards him, and knocked him down. Then, his hands flipped up and down, forming hand seals in the blink of an eye.

Water Release: Water Stream Whip!

The jutsu that was useless against the enlarged Choji was very effective here for long-range attacks.

Haryu directly increased his chakra output to the maximum, a long, thin whip reached Ino's body, which was beside a tree.

He caught her! A distance of over six meters, Haryu wrapped around her. Ino's body, which didn't have a soul, was useless, but it could stop the further attack of Kiba, who was being controlled by Ino.

"Miscalculated. Alright, Haryu. We forfeit." Shikamaru's somewhat lazy voice came out again. After confirming that they had no chance of winning, Shikamaru lost his fighting spirit.

It was just a friendly match between classmates, there was no need to be so serious. He wasn't a very driven person anyway.

"Whew. Ino! You're controlling me so uncomfortably! Do you even know how to use my body, your posture makes it impossible for me to fight! You're wasting such a good body!" As soon as Kiba regained control of his body, he started complaining to Ino. But it seemed like the focus was a little off. He didn't care that he was being controlled, but he cared about the other person's operation…

"Alright, let's watch Naruto's match first. We'll be fighting one of their teams soon." Haryu didn't joke with the other students, he directly watched the match that was happening right next to him. And he was only with one person, Shino, who was also watching the match.

"Hmm."

On the other side, the battle was still raging.

"Naruto, do it again!" Concise, but there was really no time to say anything else.

Shadow Clone Jutsu!

Sasuke used the Shadow Clone Jutsu first, and Naruto, with the help of his shadow clones, used Walking in the Air, waiting in the sky for Sasuke's attack. This stalemate, as long as they took down one person, the scales of victory would tilt fatally.

"In front of my Byakugan, all your tricks are useless!" Neji assumed the Gentle Fist stance, his palms stood upright, his Byakugan wide open, searching for Sasuke's real body.

"Found him!" Neji discovered a similar chakra fluctuation, so he charged forward, striking the vital point with his palm. He didn't have much chakra left, so he couldn't waste it.

But, bang!

This was just a normal shadow clone, and that chakra fluctuation was intentional by Sasuke. The real Sasuke, on the other hand, was approaching Neji at high speed.

He arrived.

Shadow Dancing Leaves!

He hit! Neji, who was now in the air, was truly isolated. Tenten, who was providing long-range support and cover, was now entangled with Sakura, and Lee, who was injured, couldn't effectively attack Sasuke.

This match would soon be decided!

"Damn it." Neji thought to himself, but there was nothing he could do. To be honest, his mobility in the air was much worse than Lee's.

"Got him! Shadow Clone - Naruto Four-Bullet!" Three shadow clones plus the main body, all four legs kicked Neji in the abdomen simultaneously, Neji, who had just risen, fell back to the ground like a cannonball.

But this wave of attacks wasn't over yet!

"Naruto!"

"Coming!"

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"

"Wind Release: Vacuum Bullet!"

One up, one down, one wind, one fire, one attack, one support. In the air, at Neji's position, a small fire dragon collided with the vertical wind ball, and there, it exploded, interacting with each other, tearing apart Neji, who was in the center.

"Ah, these two brats are so ruthless." Kakashi said, frowning slightly. Even he didn't have a good way to resolve this major crisis for Neji.

But it seemed like he didn't need to bother. The uncontrollable Wind and Fire chakra began to pull towards the same direction at the same time.

"What's happening?" The students naturally couldn't see anything, but he was famous in the Shinobi World for his eyes, how could he not know? So, he hurried over.

"Yo, yo, yo, these little brats are quite troublesome, thankfully, the young master is fine. Hey, someone's coming. It seems I need to disappear for a while." The yin and yang voice completely disappeared the moment Kakashi arrived.

"It's not good to be discovered." In a colorful space, the man muttered to himself.
