Chapter 287 The whole army was wiped out!
I saw that not long ago, I had a strong claim that the stand-in technique was just a trick that was incompetent... Now, when the "Naruto" had no time to stop it, I directly used the stand-in technique to help me get out of trouble, and thus completely disrupted Naruto's attacking rhythm. The word "Masaki" suddenly appeared in the minds of "Naruto".
"Ha? Stand-in...?!"
Because of the inevitable attack, it was vented on the innocent and pitiful wooden stakes. In a blink of an eye, the precious combat power of more than a dozen shadow clones wasted in vain. While "Naruto" stared at each other, he hurriedly looked around and looked around, looking for the location of Orochimaru who had moved his body away after using the substitute technique. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he complained loudly in unison like anger.
"Hey, what about the trick that was not good? I also said that I was clever... aren't you using it yourself too?"
Of course, no matter how much hesitated, the actions of the "Naruto" did not hesitate for a moment.
Although the "Naruto" who jumped into the air to maintain the consistency of the attacks obviously had no time to change their trajectory of ascending and leaping. However, because of the advantages of being condescending, the broad vision brought by the substitute of the basic ninjutsu, the distance between the object and the body was too limited. It didn't take long for the "Naruto" to discover Orochimaru who was quickly falling down after shifting his body down for a little distance!
"Tsk, it's obvious that it's a little while before it can be prepared. Orochimaru actually started to fight back at this critical moment... he thought that guy would not slap himself in the face because of his identity and face."
While muttering to themselves in a low voice, the "Naruto" looked at each other and exchanged glances. While raising the corners of their mouths slightly, they looked at the distance and believed that they were flying upwards and there was no extra chakra to perform ninjutsu. There was absolutely no way to stop Orochimaru's back, showing a gradually unethical smile.
"Tsk, there's nothing I can do, you're forcing me... Do you think I can't catch up with you in the air? I'm so young~"
As they spoke, the bodies of "Naruto" continued to climb and leap, because they had originally jumped in the same direction, they began to gradually move closer or unintentionally and gather together. Then, in groups, one of the shadow clones grasped the ankles of the other shadow clones. Then they began to twist their waists and shake their arms, and all the forces originally reserved for attacking Orochimaru exploded! So much so that the shadow clones, who were caught in the ankle, not only stopped the momentum of rising, under the aid of this external force, also accelerated with the amplitude of centrifugal force, like an arrow that was naturally falling faster than Orochimaru, and then rose and chased them up!
"I'm really pestering..."
After using the stand-in technique to escape, Orochimaru kept changing his posture to adjust his landing position as much as possible. He was attracted by the shouts of "Naruto" from the corner of his eyes. He subconsciously turned his head slightly and noticed the plans of "Naruto". I don't know if he was shouting "Naruto" and his face was dull, or if he didn't expect Naruto to think of using this strange way to force the attack trajectory of the Shadow Clusters in a short time. So the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he muttered to suit him. Because his body had already been closer to the ground during the free fall, and he was sitting cross-legged in the direction of Naruto's body, he decisively raised his arms.
"However, the reaction is so intense, it seems... I really put all the chips on the attack that I have been preparing for so long? No wonder these moves were not painful or itchy, just like playing house... It's a pity that no matter what kind of ninjutsu you are preparing, you won't have the chance to complete it!"
In his words, like the previous hidden snake hand, a white giant python emerged from Orochimaru's wide sleeves!
However, unlike the group of poisonous snakes that are directly used to attack Nonoyu and others, the difference is...
The length of this fair giant python that appeared out of thin air was obviously not enough to attack Naruto's body. In addition, the distance between Orochimaru's body and "Naruto" was constantly shrinking and decreasing in the process of chasing and fighting... It was not clear whether that guy Naruto would have prepared some other tricks to him. Even if he was chasing him, he was just a group of shadow clones, and the attack seemed to be no threat to Orochimaru, but Orochimaru still did not dare to let the "Naruto" chase him easily and entangle him again!
In this case, Orochimaru's mind suddenly changed and quickly gave up the initial thought of using some long-range attack methods to directly interfere with and even kill Naruto's body. Instead, as soon as he summoned the giant python, he followed the angle that his arm had already set and turned into a afterimage and shot out quickly. Then, the next second, while his head was buried deep into the soil, he curled up and wriggled his body. In this way, Orochimaru, who had nowhere to rely on the force, deviated from the natural falling trajectory during the pulling process. And the speed of Orochimaru's entire fall increased sharply again!
At the same time, I was well aware of the stand-in technique, and I would never be able to use it for a second time in a short period of time. In the process of pursuing, the "Naruto" determined that Orochimaru had lost his skills and could never avoid this intensive offensive. So much so that after seeing it with his own eyes, Orochimaru used only one snake and resolved the crisis again without any effort. He couldn't help but be stunned, while his lips twitched violently, and roared without tears: "Ha...? Damn! Can your snake still play like this? Spider-Man?! Or... Or... Orochimaru?!"
Of course, it is not that Naruto could not follow his previous practice and threw the shadow clone out in groups. In order to change the whereabouts, he accelerated the pursuit of Orochimaru...
But once this method is used, half of the number of shadow clones will be directly consumed. For the "Naruto" who have consumed most of the number of shadow clones and still cannot cause an effective blow to Orochimaru, no matter how you think, it will be an extremely loss-making choice.
Secondly, although Orochimaru still failed to land at this moment... But after seeing Orochimaru's strange usage of the giant python, who can guarantee that Orochimaru will not use it again in the same way?
If this is true... wouldn't that mean that half of the shadow clones left by Naruto are wasting in vain again?
In other words, whether it is chasing or not, there are only disadvantages and no benefits for Naruto. So much so that after weighing the pros and cons, the "Naruto" simply chose a compromise - that is, to change the target locked from Orochimaru to Naruto's original body!
Anyway, no matter how Orochimaru hides, the ultimate goal must be to attack Naruto's body, thereby obstructing and interrupting Naruto's tedious preparations...
Since we have confirmed this point, the "Naruto" are not 100% sure to intercept Orochimaru in the air. Then, completely giving up this idea, and land around the body as soon as possible to form a defensive formation, and waiting for Orochimaru's offensive to arrive, is undoubtedly a more reliable and safe choice!
"Tsk... I can't do anything, I can only do this."
Thinking of this, Naruto's movements no longer had a moment of hesitation and pause. Instead, they combined them again and accelerated the landing movement in a manner at the expense of half of the shadow clone. Due to the exhaustion of power, the "Naruto" who were about to disappear were shouting unwillingly while watching their companions leave.
"The next thing... I'll ask you!"
"Do you leave it to us... That's right, but I always feel that I will still not be able to catch up..."
Hearing the instructions and the continuous "bang bang-!" sounds, the "Naruto" who were able to retain the remaining strength through the sacrifice of his companions, couldn't help but tense the muscles of his whole body. Then, when he looked at the body, who was always sitting cross-legged and changing his position, without any movement, and Orochimaru, who was about to be down-to-earth, he murmured to himself with concern.
"Besides, the original move is still a long time away from being ready... In this case, Orochimaru will really attack directly. Instead, do you not use ninjutsu to stop us with ninjutsu when you take advantage of the early landing?"
It is said that the house is leaking and raining all night...
How could Orochimaru, who had experienced the baptism of life and death of war, imagined the unfavorable situation that Naruto could not imagine?
"For the first time I found out that it feels pretty good to stand on the ground... And if it looks like this, there shouldn't be any ambush under the ground."
Orochimaru, who had been curled up and pulled and pulled the giant python, fell to the ground one step earlier than the "Naruto". I don't know if it was because of the psychological shadows that gradually emerged during the previous fight with Naruto. It caused Orochimaru not to rush to attack Naruto's body, but looked strange and kept stepping on the surrounding ground with his toes. It was not until he confirmed that he was safe and worry-free that while breathing a long breath, he took the white giant python back into his sleeves, freeing up his hands and began to quickly build up.
"So, for this little guy's 'enthusiastic service'... let's give him a gift first!"
Just as Naruto thought, Orochimaru, who tried his best to land early, would not watch the "Naruto" easily entangle themselves again. Then, without waiting for any of the "Naruto" to have the opportunity to land on the ground, he took advantage of the sharp decline in number and the relatively concentrated and dense location, and opened his mouth straight and spit out a ball of hot fireballs without hesitation! The number is so large that it can be called overwhelming! So in just a few breaths, all the dodging spaces of "Naruto" were blocked tightly, and there was nowhere to escape!
In this case, let alone landing as soon as possible, form a defensive formation against Orochimaru... Even if the "Naruto" want to sacrifice half of the shadow clones as before, to change the behavioral trajectory of the other shadow clones, it is definitely too late, let alone survive this dense attack!
"Ahhh...it's not that easy..."
"It's not to use the Flying Thunder God Technique, nor to turn into a tailed beast... It's still too difficult to fight Orochimaru in this situation."
"It seems that there is nothing we can do... We have tried our best, and the rest can only depend on our own."
"Oh, I hope that I can catch up with that move..."
Seeing that there was no hope of escaping, the "Naruto" gave up struggling. Then they looked at each other, smiled bitterly and shook their heads, and did their last efforts. Without waiting for the fireball offensive to attack, the remaining Shadow Clusters began to release themselves in a series of white mist rising out of thin air. Then, using this as a medium, all the chakras that the Shadow Clusters had not yet used were fed back and sent to Naruto's original body!
"Bang! Bang! Bang bang bang--!"
Although the number of these chakras is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for Naruto's heyday... But no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat!
What's more, anyway, these shadow clones are destined to survive under the attack of Orochimaru's fireballs... Instead of wasting these chakras, it would be better to return them to the original body. Maybe, they can still maintain the power of a battle!
"Is this feeling...has it completely failed?"
The chakra that was being replenished with continuous feedback made Naruto sit cross-legged and frown more and more. Then, in his perception, he began to hesitate and ponder in his swaying and he felt the increasingly cold and violent dangerous aura.
"Damn it, it's almost time... As long as I can delay for a while, I can finish it..."
Naruto obviously had guessed that his attack was invalid on Orochimaru... But what Naruto never expected was that in order to obtain sufficient preparation time, so many shadow clones were specially prepared. After only this short time, they were completely wiped out by Orochimaru! Not only did they not achieve the expected delay effect, they even disrupted Naruto's original orderly battle rhythm into a mess!
It is precisely because of this that when facing the regaining upper hand and quickly approaching Orochimaru... Naruto, who was in crisis, had to make a dilemma about life in this critical moment of fighting every minute!
After all, I gave up the killer moves I had prepared for a long time, and used the shadow clones to dissipate and feedback the Xu Chakra who had replenished back to the body to make a final effort. Then, when I had to retreat, I had to expose the existence of high-risk trump cards such as the Flying Thunder God Technique...
Or do you think of turning a bicycle into a motorcycle with the idea of turning a bicycle into a motorcycle... Ignoring Orochimaru's upcoming attack, focusing wholeheartedly on preparations, and forcibly release this ninjutsu that was just about to kick?
Orochimaru: Me! Orochimaru! One of the three ninjas of Konoha!
Even if I was hammered to death by Naruto's stinky shadow clone, I would never use a substitute technique like a trick!!!
...
Oh my god, the stand-in technique is really useful, hehe~
